Donald Trump's lawyer explains charges: ‘There IS NO CRIME!’

What EXACTLY are the charges being brought against Donald Trump in New York? Well, they’re hard to explain because for the most part…THEY MAKE NO SENSE! In this clip, Glenn is joined by Joe Tacopina, an attorney for the former president who will represent him in this case. Tacopina answers all of Glenn’s questions, and he explains why there IS NO CRIME to discuss. Plus, he explains why he took the case to begin with and why it shows that ‘rule of law is in danger in this country.’

GLENN: He's just to save time, one of the most respected high stakes trial attorneys in America.

Joe Tacopina, and he joins us now. Joe, thank you so much for coming on.

JOE: Thanks, Glenn. I'll also tell you right off the bat, I don't think I can be able to help you. I heard you say, maybe I can help you figure out -- I can't help you at all. I really -- I can't figure it out for the life of me.

GLENN: Okay. So is this a -- when he was charged with, what? Thirty-four, 35 felonies, it's the same charge -- I said to the audience this morning, it's like if I said about my producer, that in an attempt to cover up a crime, Stu committed a crime. And saying that 35 times, and never defining what the crime was.

JOE: Boy, that's a pretty great assessment of this charge against him, I will tell you that..

Never say what the crime is. There's a legal requirement to do that.

They charged him -- this is a misdemeanor.

Falsifying business records. Which, Glenn, he didn't get close to that happening.

There's no falsified business records. If you want to go down that road, it's a misdemeanor.

The statute of limitations is long gone on that.

It would then have to cobble that together with another crime, which would also be another misdemeanor, to make it a felony.

So, in other words, to aid and abet or conceal another crime. And of course, who knows what the other crime was. Maybe it's drunk driving or something. Who knows.

But it's most likely violation of federal election laws. Because this was a federal campaign. And if you know anything about federal election laws, and apparently, he doesn't. It's very clear, that this is not something that falls under a violation of the Federal Election Commissions laws.

It's just not. And that's why they never berate charges against them.

That's why -- this is a personal expenditure. A personal civil suit that was settled. Like when Bill Clinton paid Paula Jones, $800,000 for alleged sexual assault. Not like a consensual relationship.

That was the same thing. Never was he charged with a crime.

Hillary Clinton apparently, you know, spent $100,000+ on the Steele dossier, right?

For her campaign. She used campaign money for that. Then used campaign money for that.

And you know what they classified that as? This is going to be ironic as everything. Legal expenses. Which obviously, you want.

So what does the FEC do?

She doesn't get indicted like Donald Trump does. She paid a fine of $100,000. You know, her campaign. So it's really -- the double standards are so -- so incredibly obvious to anyone, with a brain. And the fact that we hear -- is only because this man is running for president again. This happens to be a leading Republican contender. And the fact that Donald J. Trump --

GLENN: Okay. So let me just tick off a couple of quick questions. And see if you can help me answer.

With campaign finance. Is it the FEC turned -- passed this down. Said there was nothing there.

So is it possible that they're checking the Constitution. And Bragg is like, wait a minute. We're the ones that actually run the elections.

The state owns it. So he's coming up with some state campaign violation.

JOE: Yeah. It's not a state campaign. But even if he did identify it -- say we were talking about it.

And here's the bottom line: Regardless of whatever the -- the -- you know, twisted legal theory is: There is no crime.

GLENN: Okay.

JOE: Donald Trump actually did everything right here.

Here's someone who tried to extort money from him, okay?

For a consensual relationship, she claims. Although, later she said, she never had an affair with him, and Donald Trump adequately denies it.

But then said, I -- I need that money, or I go to the press. Okay. Extortion 101.

Then -- then he pays that money with personal funds, to resolve it. And, by the way, he only did that after his lawyer, the convicted fraudster and liar Michael Cohen resolved this without President Trump's (inaudible). He took down a loan. A home equity loan to finance this -- this civil settlement. And then -- and then later, billed Donald Trump for it.

He is the one who signed the settlement agreement. Donald Trump didn't even sign this agreement with Stormy Daniels.

And then later today -- and that's just to appease and get closer to Donald Trump.

He wanted to be in the White House in the worst way.

GLENN: Okay. So let me go to the crime then, that they say, the other thing they're throwing around is that this is a tax crime.

JOE: Tax crime.

GLENN: You haven't heard that one yet?

JOE: I've heard it. But let me hear what they --

GLENN: From what I understand, they're saying that Donald Trump I think overpaid his taxes, because he paid attorney's fees to Cohen, and that included the whatever it was. 130,000. Or whatever that payoff was.

STU: Paid him -- in a retainer, instead of paying him a reimbursement for the --

GLENN: Right. So he actually paid payroll taxes. Or paid the -- you know, paid the taxes that you would pay, you know, if you're paying an employee.

JOE: So, Glenn, I know how smart you are. And I'm a big fan of yours. Do you understand how much you stuttered during that --

GLENN: No. No. There's no way to make sense of it. I'm just trying to understand what they're saying.

JOE: Right. Exactly.

I know. I know. It's so hard to even articulate it. It's like, what?

Here's. Let me just say this. He never made a tax filing with those documents that they claimed were false because he never took a tax deduction. So, again, we live -- seriously, when you talk about selective prosecution. He -- he actually overpaid taxes for someone else. Therefore, it's a tax crime.

GLENN: No.

JOE: A lot of this people in the country are charged with crimes for overpaying their taxes. I mean, that's another legal theory.

That's very novel. I mean, it just gets better and better and better. It's really -- you know, it's a joke.

GLENN: Okay. So this would be a joke, if I thought we could get fair trials.

But I'm not sure you can get a fair trial in New York.

He has been -- Donald Trump is the worst -- he went from the king of New York, to the worst -- you know, worst than Hitler and Mengele combined, to New Yorkers. In New York City.

Plus, you have a judge, that should have recused himself. I mean, the actual information on the judge and his daughter, is staggering.

Can he be -- can you get a change of venue, or at least a new judge?

JOE: Look, here is the thing. We are going to be making ferocious motions in this case. They're going to cover every angle, to get this ridiculous case to be thrown out of court. It doesn't belong in court.

We are going to obviously consider whatever legal motions, including a recusal, change of venue, if they're appropriate.

GLENN: Is it appropriate, don't you think the recusal of the judge? I mean, that's a conflict of interest like crazy.

JOE: You would think. And these facts came out, you know, yesterday. Apparently, his daughter works for the vice president.

GLENN: Oh. And -- yeah.

JOE: Again, again, we have to be very methodical in our attacks here. We don't want to do anything with a knee-jerk reaction. We don't want to make emotional decisions. And we'll do all the research and everything we need to do. We have obviously several months to make these -- these motions.

And we're going to take our time and do them right. Because you have one bite at this apple.

And there is no scenario, where we're going to miss anything.

And any angle that we can take that -- that legitimizes our legal attacks on this case, have known to be successful. I don't just this case is ever going to see a jury, Glenn. I really don't.

They shouldn't see a jury -- but that would -- you know, but we would need to have intellectually honest judges to make sure that that happens. And hopeful, that we'll have one here.

GLENN: I talked to Andy McCarthy here, former prosecutor.

And he said, I always know it's a weak case. When you start to repeat the same charges.

And you just keep stacking him on.

He said, that's the first thing you're state in law school. Don't do that.

That's crazy. Have you ever seen the same charge, 34, 35 times?

Is this unprecedented or not?

JOE: No. It's not really unprecedented.

But I agree with Andy. It's a sign of weakness.

There have been several indictments, that they stack up charges. It's one act.

It's one scenario.

It's one factual scenario, that they're alleging as a crime, that's not a crime.

Understand, if Donald Trump, if this were truly a campaign expenditure, okay?

Donald Trump would have the right to pay with campaign funds. Because it would be a campaign expenditure, right?

It's not.

He wouldn't be able to pay with campaign funds.

But if you, Glenn, for a second understand, the amount of people that will be paying from Donald Trump's scalp, had he paid this personal settlement with campaign funds -- I mean, they would be losing their mind. They would be saying, that's a fraud. It's not a campaign. It's personal. So he was damned if he did, damned if he didn't.

GLENN: Yes. Correct.

They pushed the next -- I guess the next trial date is -- is January 24th, right smack in the middle of the Iowa Caucus. Is that unprecedented to wait that long?

GLENN: That was a coincidence. I'm sure. Sure of it. Sure of it.

Well, no. It's not.

It actually should be longer.

When they have a case of this complexity, and, you know, this -- it's a case of pressure in many ways.

You know, what I will say is this: We have a situation, where we have to do motion.

We're not packing courts of the federal court. This should not be a trial in January. We want the trial to be pushed off further. Because we have to make sure we're touching every base here. And fighting on every legal point, that we could bring forth to challenge the suspicious indictment.

So there's no Russia to get the trial here. Again, I'm hopeful, we don't even get to that point. I really am.

A trial doesn't really happen within a couple of months.

This is a case where we don't even go back to court, until the next status conference. And this isn't a motion until December.

GLENN: I have to ask you this question: Because I've had a very good legal firm for quite some time. And they were the best on freedom of speech issues.

And they've dropped me. Because, you know, they have Google and everybody else.

And while they didn't say that, they just said, you know, we've got some other clients. And we just have to really -- I've been with them for 15 years. I know exactly what was going on.

You -- in reading, you know, your history, you're an amazing attorney. But this is -- let me ask this question: Humanitarian of the year, Reverend Al Sharpton's national action network. Man of the year award from New York State commission for social justice.

You are positioned in a place, where a New York attorney probably should be. You're taking on the enemy, Donald Trump, as your client. Are you not concerned?

I mean, thank you for being John Adams.

But are you not concerned about flushing your career down the toilet, in New York?

JOE: No. No, no, no.

Now, listen, I follow my own Constitution.

My knees don't buckle, Glenn. I do what I think is right.

When I took this case, it's because I realized how outrageous it was. And the rule of law is a danger in this country.

And for me, if I didn't have the courage to take this case, then I'm good for nothing.

If you can't be willing to fight something like this. And for that exact reason, I'm not one of those billing corporate law firms, where I know a lot of firms were in Texas. Because they were worried about the pull with other clients.

What I did was, look, I represented a lot of people who are politically opposite to Donald Trump. Right?

That being said, I spoke to some of them. I let them know. This is -- you know, it's something I believe in. And, look, I'm a litigator. And that's what I do. I litigate. I'm not a campaign lawyer. I'm not out there doing things that would be against what I would do as a civil litigator. I do the same thing.

I litigate. I don't get involved in collateral issues. I fight the case. And make sure that justice prevails.

GLENN: Sure. I mean, we used to agree on the Bill of Rights. And I don't just we do anymore.

JOE: No, no, no. And it's amazing that the justice system is being weaponized the way it is. We have crossed a Rubicon, that is going to be forever, forever damaging to this country.

And that's what scares the hell out of me.

Now -- Donald Trump, today or tomorrow, if some Democrat in Texas who -- Republican prosecutor says, you know what, I used to live in New York. I'm going to use the power of my office, to prosecutorial discretion -- which is powerful.

I'll leave it to him.

GLENN: Joe, there's no -- I mean, there have been crimes committed, by Hunter Biden in three different states, that are -- that are red states.

Why wouldn't the district attorney take those on?

JOE: Exactly. And that's -- and that's the point.

It's a political play here. And that's what really, really troubles me.

It's -- it's -- you know, I watched him try yesterday, that this was just something he would do against, any -- any person.

GLENN: Yes.

JOE: You charge people with falsifying business records. Which is a misdemeanor.

You know, 70 years later, which the statute of limitations would be gone on.

And tying it to a federal election campaign violation when you're a state prosecutor.

Federal authorities that said, there's no violation for him.

Yeah, well, timing has to do that absolutely.

I mean, I hear this disingenuous things. Is that false business charges all the time? Yeah, false business racketeering charges based on what?

I mean, it's so disingenuous, it's not even funny.

GLENN: Joe, I hope you're right, that this will never see a courtroom or a jury. We wish you the best. Pass on our best to Donald Trump.

Thank you, Joe Tacopina. He's the attorney for Donald Trump. And a good, a really good attorney.

I feel good having this guy represent Donald Trump.

Is George Soros’ evil empire CRUMBLING?

George Soros has just turned 95 years old and Glenn has a birthday message for him! What a shame that after nearly a century of trying to destroy the West, Spooky Dude now gets to watch as his son brings his own empire to its knees…It couldn’t have happened to nicer people.

STU: It's a big day.

I was unaware of this birthday. It's not in my calendar, for some reason.

GLENN: I know. I know. Why do you suppose that is?

STU: I don't know. Here's a guy who has really made an impact on our world.

GLENN: He really has.

And he's 95 years old.

STU: Wow.

GLENN: He's outlived almost all of the people that tried to stop him.

And to be honest most of the economies that he tried to collapse, so it's nice.

And so I just wanted to say, happy birthday George Soros. I mean, I know we've had our quibbles. You threatened my life once.

You know, I've called you spooky dude. You know, but let's put all that aside. You have toppled a few currencies, just for sport.

You -- you have funded enough political movements, all over the world, to keep small nations and coups for over a century now. And you have turned philanthropy, into a really terrifying word.

You're like, wait. The Soros foundation is behind this?

It's kind of neat. You take people's breath away, when we talk about philanthropy, which is nice.

Somehow or another, you have learned to blame everything from inflation and a collapsing society. To the people who are pointing out the involvement.

You know, your involvement in our ever collapsing world. Or if you can't pin it on them, it's the weather.

So you've got that. And, George, all of this time. All of the hard work. Here you are, at 95. And to see it all come apart at the very end. To see it all collapse. It's got to be hard. It's got to be hard.

But the good news is, most of it is coming because unlike you, I know people are good and smart, and even decent. And in the end, the good guys win.

Kind of like they did, in World War II.
Remember, you were -- I think you were a young teenager. And when you threw your lot in with the Nazis.

I know. I know. You didn't have a choice.

And I actually believed that. You didn't have a choice.

I probably would have done the same thing, if I were your age.

And I mean that honestly.

However, what's always puzzled me. Is if I would have made that choice.

I think I would have, I don't know. More than just a fleeting moment of reflection.

On that. You know, maybe -- you know, what always puzzled me. You have never once, in your own words. Looked back on that. And had a second of guilt or regret.

I mean, I think I have this right. You took and sold the goods of homes that were taken by the Nazis from the Jews. They took the Jews to the death camps. And you cleaned out the houses and sold the valuables. Which is weird, that you have no regrets or reflexes on that. Didn't even think about it. Never gave it a second. You know, that was weird. And I was shocked to hear you say that, when you were on 60 Minutes, and they asked I about that. Now, my follow-up question would have been, have you ever been diagnosed as a psychopath? But they didn't ask that question, and probably didn't have to. Because it became very clear that you indeed were a psychopath, when you spoke about how when you, quote, do these little experiments with countries and currencies that you collapse, you know that people are hurt. But you find it, and still quoting, I don't know.

Fun!

Wow. Wow.

(laughter)
That's a different kind of -- that's a different kind of fun there, that I've never really kind of understood at all. But, you know, George people say, the measure of a man. A mark of a man's life is the good that he leaves behind.

And in your case, that good is still looking for a GPS signal. Haven't found it. But I'm sure we will.

And it's sad now to think, now that you're 95. Again, happy birthday, George.

And I mean that sincerely.

Now at 95, to think that all of your wildly strangely young girlfriends, are now only clearly with you for the money. And they might be losing some interest. Because the way your son handling your money, that may be gone faster than your. Girlfriends. You know what I mean?

And I know, it causes you pain. To hear about this. And see your entire world collapsing at the end.

And many people might see this, and see your pain. And say, well. You know

GLENN: Yeah.

But it's kind of fun to watch that pain.

In George Soros. But not me. Not me. Now, I've called you spooky died. And if it wasn't for the spooky dude, good looks, you know, of your son Alex. I've wondered. And maybe you wondered this. Is he really your son? He's nothing like you. Sure, he's spooky and everything else. But what a dope this guy is. I mean, you were the guy known for breaking the Bank of England.

That's what they called you, the man who broke the Bank of England. Your son breaking another bank. But it seems to be yours, which is weird. Because when it comes to investing and making money.

Wow. What a disappointment in a son. Huh.

George? Wow.

What went wrong there.

Anyway, several countries have banned you. You know, or your organizations from even being in their country. Because you were so good at what you did.

You know, collapsing currencies in societies.

But when your son took control of Soros fund management. You know, they can't be thing you set your whole life building. It was an empire. A global empire.

In December 2021, one of the first things he did was invest 2 billion dollars to buy nearly 20 million shares of an electric vehicle company called Rivian.

And he bought the shares, somewhere between 70 and $100 per share.

In fact, he was so confident, in your money. That it was the largest one-off investments your fund had ever made.

And now, I -- I hate to point out, you know, a year later, those shares were selling for $18.

And it looks like you lost over a billion dollars. In fact, with the moves that he's been making. With your life's work.

Wow!

Hedge Follow. This is a website that tracks and ranks US hedge fund performances.

They currently give the Soros fund management. Your company. That you dedicated your life to.

A performance rating of one out of five stars.

Which makes it one of the least successful in the country. Wow.

And, you know, another reason why I wonder if he's your son.

Is, you've always prided yourself on being the man in the shadows. And anybody could ever point to.

You know what I mean?

But your son is so filled with pride.

Pride, something. Something follows pride. I can't remember that saying.

I should look that up. But, anyway, Happy Birthday, George.

This guy, your son.

He takes selfies with some of the -- well, frankly, some of the biggest losers in the political sphere right now. But, you know, the actual influence of your life's work seems to be diminishing rapidly.

In fact, on July 2023, Open Society foundation, you guys announced that you were laying off 40 percent of your staff worldwide. Wow! What happened there?

Was that Rivian? Oh, does that hurt when I say that? Was it Rivian?

You halted all new grants, and you completely changed your operating model. Mainly because I think you were kind of getting out of money, you know what I mean?

And the crowning glory. The crowning achievement of your open society network, under Alex, was the passage of the so-called inflation reduction act.

You know, I don't think the people know. You were really involved in that.

In fact, one of the guys who worked for open society.

I mean, you reopened a -- an Open Society Foundation firm there, in New York. So you could lobby. And became one of the biggest. Just for that. In fact, he was so involved.

He was actually honored with the gift of being on the floor, when that passed. Wow!

Wow!

Gosh, gosh.

Now that -- now that that's all falling apart too.

I mean, oh. Now, let me ask you: When you passed that, was that because of Rivian?

I hate to keep bringing that up.

But the reason why I say that: At the same time, your son was doing that, your son was spending at least $4 million on Stacey Abraham's failed gubernatorial campaign.

And you think to yourself. Who would be this tuned?

Certainly not George Soros' son. He's really, really smart. Why would he do that? Well, it could be, because at the time, Rivian was starting to build a gigafactory, right there in her state.

And he was asking the state for some subsidies, which gosh, then she didn't win. And all that money was flushed down the toilet.

But the good news is, Biden, at the very last minute, gave -- Donald Trump cut, was it? Oh, man. That's got to hurt. But at least, it did wonders for Rivian's share -- no. The stock.

It's now worth less than $12 a share. That kind of...

Anyway, at least you have the Soros DAs. The defund the police. No bail. Go soft on crime. That seems to be working on really -- well, not really.

More than a dozen of your DAs. That was your jewel.

That was the one thing that you were like, I have all the DAs. And we will collapse this country.

Yeah.

More than a dozen have been removed from office, by recalls and scandals and just people -- people like, I can't do another one of these. You know what I mean? And the spike of urban crime, ended up being one of the key factors in the defeat of the Democratic Party of 2024.

Which seems to go exactly everything that you were trying to do.

You know, the second election of Donald Trump. Crime, immigration. And the economy, were the big topics.

Which had to bother you. Because those were your big topics too.

And how it must have hurt, you know, when he won. And then what he did for energy. And cutting electric car subsidies. Oh, gosh. That one hurts again.

Closing the borders. Defunding all your little NGOs. Now going after your sanctuary cities. And this week, taking crime on, in DC. And even the liberals are saying, you know what, I don't really agree with Donald Trump.

But I think he's right on this one. Man, I would imagine the mental torture of a 95-year-old man who was just -- just trying to make it to the pudding in the afternoon. To see your world fall apart.

That torture must be relentless. But, I mean, if I'm going to be honest.

I kind of find it fun!

Oh, now see.

You see how -- you see how that feels, George?

When somebody doesn't recognize your pain.

You might be thinking what I would be thinking.

Glenn, are you a psychopath?

You don't see the pain of others?

No. I'm just doing a comedy monologue here, George.

You actually meant that.

So I want to just give you your perfect birthday present. And what do you get a guy who has everything.

You know, you have to find something that he doesn't have. That's why I wanted to get you a soul. But I thought, no. He's already lost the one he had, so I don't know if he really would appreciate it.

But the good news is, you have all of that worldly power and that wealth to keep you warm at night. Which is good.

Because you should get used to the warmth.

Because where you're headed, I -- I hear, is very, very hot, all the time, a little beyond warm.

I hear it's terrifyingly hot there. But, hey! This has been fun, hasn't it?

I don't know. I just kind of find it fun, to wish you a happy 95th birthday, George Soros.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

How Obama Weaponized His Deep State Against Hero Vets | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 263

Over the past few months, classified document releases related to Russiagate, the deep state, and other scandals have shown us just how frightening the government can be. But as Gina Keating has proven, it is NOT invincible. Gina — an investigative journalist and lifelong liberal — was forced to question everything she knew when she discovered that the DOJ under Obama, at the urging of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was wrongfully prosecuting four Blackwater contractors for allegedly staging a massacre at Nisour Square in Baghdad, Iraq. Gina joins Glenn Beck to tell the story of these men, as documented in her new book, “Raven 23: How the Department of Justice Betrayed American Heroes.” She and Glenn discuss why the government really prosecuted these men, how Wikileaks helped expose the truth, and how Pete Hegseth helped convince President Trump to pardon them. But perhaps just as concerning was the media’s response to this story. Gina describes how her fellow journalists wouldn’t touch the case on “moral” grounds and provides solutions to help get partisan politics out of journalism.

WHAT THE NFL is going on with male cheerleaders?!

The Minnesota Vikings and 11 other NFL teams now have male cheerleaders…and not the kind you may be thinking of. Is this really what NFL fans want, or will this be the next Dylan Mulveney moment? Glenn, Stu, and Jason discuss…

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So the Minnesota Viking. The Vikings!

That will have two male cheerleaders. Now, when I first heard this story, I said to my wife, wife, daughter. Because they brought this up to me. And I said, well, let's not be hasty. I said, there's loss of sports teams that have male cheerleaders, and I said to my wife and my daughter, who are both cheerleaders.

I said, didn't you have, you know -- when college -- they have the guys run out. And the cheerleaders. And they hold the girls up. And throw them and everything else.

And my wife went, that's not this.

And I haven't seen the footage yet. But here are the -- here are the two male Viking cheerleaders, cut 29.
(music)

STU: There they are.

GLENN: Dear God.
(music)

GLENN: Okay. All right. We can stop. We can stop. Please, no more. We can stop.

STU: Did you like it?

GLENN: Give me a Y. Give me an E. Give me an F. What does that spell? Yes! No.
(laughter)

STU: That came out of your mouth way too easily. That's been practiced in front of a mirror, I'll tell you that.
(laughter)

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. Yeah. No. I don't -- I don't think so.

So the Vikings season ticket holders are canceling their season tickets.

Now, what part of Minnesota didn't you understand, when you bought a ticket?

You're in Minnesota. Of course, it's going to happen in Minnesota.

But Vikings. The Vikings would have killed cheerleaders back then. Well, they didn't have cheerleaders. It's not like, they were on their ship. Give me an R! Give me a P, give me an E. What's that? Raid!

I mean, I don't think they had that.

STU: Unlikely. Unlikely.

Yeah. You don't see that in the historic accounts of their practices.

GLENN: No. No. No.

So the Vikings having male cheerleaders like that. Not exactly makes a lot of sense.

STU: It's not a surprise, right?

GLENN: For Minnesota. No.

STU: Yeah. I would say most NFL teams, you would not be stunned to see it.

Cowboys you would probably be stunned to see it.

GLENN: I would. I would.

STU: Most of the people in the team, are players. So they wouldn't necessarily need them as cheerleaders.

GLENN: Oh, my God. How dare you. Hang on just a second. Hang on just a second.

STU: I just know Stu was there.

GLENN: Do you think that the Eagles would put male cheerleaders like that on the field?

STU: Yeah. Probably. They probably do. They do have male cheerleaders.

GLENN: Wait. Wait. Wait.

Do you think male cheerleaders like that, would walk off the field of Philadelphia? The same way, they walked on to the field?

STU: Not in the area where the stadium is. No. No. Yes. It's -- it would be a little rough.

But the team. The Eagles team is pretty liberal. And the conservative. The cowboys, relatively speaking. Pretty conservative.

GLENN: Yeah. They're not going to --

STU: You would be very surprised to see that at the Cowboys. I mean, this one is pretty over the top though.

Right, it's -- it's --

GLENN: Yes.

STU: As -- I don't know. It's as far as I've seen.

GLENN: That's who it is.
STU: Oh, I remember him.
GLENN: Adam, the American, he's a guy who seemed a little effeminate to be in ISIS.

STU: He was in al-Qaeda, wasn't he?

GLENN: Oh, that's right. Al-Qaeda. That's right. Al-Qaeda.

GLENN: Send back your soldiers, your spies, your attaches, et cetera.

JASON: From where to where?

STU: After Afghanistan to Zanzibar.

GLENN: To Zanzibar.

STU: I'll never forget that.

GLENN: From Afghanistan, to Zanzibar. Or we're going to -- if you don't do it, we're going to give you such a slap.

STU: It was not. It was not necessarily the persona you'd expect to lead an al-Qaeda messaging department. But it was effective. By the way, we lost him.

We've lost Adam, the American, in 2015.

GLENN: Oh, what happened?

Oh, what happened?

STU: He passed away, Glenn. We didn't just like lose him in the mall. He actually died.

GLENN: Hello, where is everybody?

Al-Qaeda! Where are you?

STU: Right.

JASON: You know he was looking forward to his shot as a Minnesota Vikings cheerleader too. That's so sad.

GLENN: And you know al-Qaeda would have loved that.

They would be all in support. Look at. Look at. Because, again -- this is, again. This is, again, the same people in Minnesota, that are wrapping their arms around the Somali flag.

They're ready to put in an Islamist, socialist mayor in Minneapolis. And you're putting in the two transgender bender cheerleaders? That's not going to go well with your people in Somalia.

STU: You don't think?

GLENN: I mean, we're the haters. They're the ones who kill them.

I mean, it's nuts!

JASON: Yeah. Adam Gadahn, he was early to that boat.

GLENN: Yeah. He was.

JASON: He was the red, green, pink alliance way back before it was even a thing.

STU: That's true.

GLENN: Now, I'm not sure that he was pink.

JASON: He was prophetic, Glenn.

GLENN: Are you just judging him by his accent. By his speech patterns.

JASON: No. No.

GLENN: All right. Good. You shouldn't do that.

By the way, I saw a promo for, oh, was it on Netflix? For the Dallas Cowboy cheerleader thing. Or saw it in the news.

It was a clip on I think -- on Instagram, from one of the enterprise where they're talking to the girls.

This is -- this was a mistake.

This was a mistake. If you're doing a -- how the Tallahassee Cowboy cheerleaders. Become Dallas cowboy cheerleaders.

Nowhere in that pitch, should it say, and we talk to the girls!

STU: It would be kind of a weird show, if they didn't actually speak to the girls. It's like a reality show, right?

GLENN: Well, you know, I thought it was -- I thought it was really weird when they did talk to them.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Because what they said. They asked the questions, like, who was the president of the United States?

Now, this was taken before Donald Trump.

Who is the president of the United States?

You know what the answer was? O Biden. O Biden. O Biden.
JASON: No.

STU: That's a completely accurate answer. I totally back that answer.

That's exactly who it was. That's exactly Obama.

VOICE: That's a good point.

GLENN: How many yards are there on a football field? Answer: 50?
(laughter)

STU: Well, there are 50. There's just another 50, and then two end zones.

GLENN: It was. I mean, it was -- it was -- if I were dad or mom, and I saw this episode, I would be like, sweetheart, you're cute and everything.

And you can dance. But we need to have a talk with you, using what's -- what God gave you upstairs, beyond the shoulders. You know, a little higher than the shoulders.

We need you to work on that one, a little bit. A little bit. It was horrible.

STU: Yeah. I will say too, it seems like they -- for a long time, they were putting him on this reality show.

And they were dancing at all their losses.

And they were -- they were paying them like 11 uncertainties a month.

Now, I guess, they've upped the salaries of them.

They're the most famous cheerleaders in the world, right.

And they were not exactly bringing in the cash. I guess they're finally making some money. Which is good.

GLENN: Yeah. You know why?

You know what the excuse was?

You have the honor of being a Dallas cowboy cheerleader.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: That actually is kind of like.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Hey.

STU: I mean, it is quite an honor, right?

GLENN: It's a real honor.

And you could probably -- you could probably marry some real, you know, dumb sexist money too.

You know, just --

STU: That's --

GLENN: I'm a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader.

And somebody is like, I've got lots of money. We're made for each other.

JASON: I don't think they have, you know, a TV show for the Philadelphia Eagles cheerleaders, do they? I'm pretty sure they don't. I mean, in Minnesota, they have men now, as cheerleaders. But in Philadelphia, they have cheerleaders that are female, that just look like men.

GLENN: No. Have you ever seen it's Always Sunny In Philadelphia?

You're watching that show. It's Danny DeVito.
(laughter)

STU: It's true.

And I will say, there is -- I don't think there's any trans, you know, cheerleaders on the Eagles. I will say, their players keep wearing all this new jewelry, though.

They keep getting all this jewelry every couples years, Jason. How many years since the Cowboys picked up some new jewelry?

JASON: We had our time, you person there.

How can you be -- I'll tell you what. Sitting in the heart of Dallas Cowboys, you know -- you know, the Mecca there. We had the Philadelphia Eagles fan too. It makes absolutely no sense.

STU: Oh. I totally. You don't understand, Jason.

My entire life, I've been an Eagles fan, and living in areas where they hate the Eagles.

GLENN: Which is -- wait. Wait. Hang on just a second.

Which is everywhere outside of Philadelphia.

STU: Basically, yes. Basically, utter -- just hatred for the Eagles. Every place I've been.

GLENN: Right.

STU: And that, you know, normally sucks.

I will say, the past few years have been absolutely glorious living in this city. Watching the Eagles win two Super Bowls, with the Cowboys, in whatever the hell they're doing, right now.

Has been utter pleasure from beginning to end.

It is the only time in my life, I've ever been able to enjoy it. So give me this one thing.

That's all.

GLENN: I will tell you, I have season tickets to the Cowboys. And every time we go, I am shocked at how many non-Cowboy fans are in stadiums.

It's like the cowboys are almost booed. It's almost like, wow.

There's a lot of people here that don't like the Cowboys.

JASON: Yeah. It's true. And A lot of these stadiums we're building now, are built for that really. They're huge. They're not really about the football anymore.

More like a kind of rock crowd.

GLENN: You know, we have -- we're up, you know. The nose extent bleed. But it's close.

But you're in the seats. And we're at the 50-yard line. And we're eye level with the big, huge TV. The giant TV.

And every time, we're there. We're just watching it on TV.

And at some point, I look at, you know, my son, like, we could have done this at home.

We could have done this at home.

Why are we not looking at the field?

STU: That's legitimately distracting.

JASON: It is. Yeah, no. I don't like going -- it's a pain in the butt to go into a lot of these sporting arenas anymore. It takes like an hour to get in. It takes two hours to get out.

They all have these big screens. You may as well sit at home.

GLENN: Yeah. I don't know why -- it would be so much better with the yellow line down. Where the first down is.

STU: Yeah. Why would they do that? That's so weird.

GLENN: I don't know why they don't do that. They do it on TV all the time.

All right. Back in just a minute.

Let me tell you about our sponsor. Our sponsor this half-hour is RealEstateAgentsITrust.com.

Real Estate Agents I Trust is a company that I started, out of frustration. And this is the first time that I had had a chance to really use it, myself.

I started this company with my brother Robert, years ago. We started looking for great real estate agents. Because we both had problems with real estate agents.

And so I started working with, what the Wall Street Journal says, the 500 best real estate agents in the country. I learned from them.

And he learned from them.

And we learned what it takes to be a really great agent. And then we decided, we would start our own company. That would recommend agents like that. We would find them all over the country. We found, I don't know about 3,000 of them. We have a waiting list of I think over 10,000 now.

But we don't -- we don't take everybody and we don't -- we want to make sure we can monitor everybody. So we have a team, that just monitors.

And they check after the sale. To make sure, hey. Real estate agent.

Because these guys don't work for me.

They work for you. I'm just recommending the people that we have found. And we want to know, are they as good as -- do they deserve to be turned on to other listeners? So I started using it myself. Because we're moving to Florida.

And I have to tell you, Lisa Treu was our agent there. Got her from Real Estate Agents I Trust.

And she was absolutely remarkable. If you're -- if you're in South Florida, you should look her up. Just call Real Estate Agents. If she's recommended to you, I can tell you. And they're all like this. But this one, I know, because I used her.

Just tremendous. Just tremendous.

You want to be treated right. Get somebody who listens to you. Knows the market. Knows how to negotiate.

Knows how to get the house that you are looking for. And help sell yours. RealEstateAgentsITrust.com. That's RealEstateAgentsITrust.com.

GLENN: Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're glad you're here.

Stu, Jason, he is our head researcher, just found something out.

STU: Right. Chief researcher.

GLENN: What did I say?

STU: You said head researcher. You mean chief researcher. Jason Buttrill, chief researcher for Glenn.

GLENN: Now I introduce him with glee.
Jason.

JASON: That's right, Glenn. Breaking news. There are actually 12 NFL teams, that are introducing male cheerleaders this year.

Dallas Cowboys are not one of them. Coming in at the power spot of number five, students, Philadelphia Eagles.

STU: They could be recruiting their cheerleaders from al-Qaeda. And I would still love them. I don't care what they do.
(laughter)

STU: Unlike the Cowboys, people don't go just for the cheerleaders in Philadelphia.

JASON: It's a good part of it, Stu. It's a good part of it.

GLENN: It keeps the American man. It's hard beating.

STU: I can't disagree with any of this talk, I have to say, I would like to. I would like to.

But, no. They are fantastic.

GLENN: They are fantastic.

STU: They do a great job.

GLENN: And they're all 100 percent USDA grade women.

JASON: That's right.
(laughter)

STU: I thought you were going to say natural. I was going to say, I don't know about that one.
GLENN: No. I'm not tuned. I know there's 100 yards on the football field.
