Shocking Truth: Will Trump’s Bill Save America or Sink It?

President Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” has passed the House of Representatives. But is it a “big win” for America, or does it not cut enough spending? Glenn Beck and Stu Burguiere run through the best and worst parts of the bill and predict how the final version might affect you.

GLENN: But they passed the big, beautiful bill last night. I haven't a chance to ask you -- actually, this morning about 6 o'clock. What's your take on the big, beautiful bill, Stu?

STU: It's interesting. There is a lot of good in it.

It is gigantic. So there's also a lot of bad in it.

It's not a -- I don't think it's a massive win in a lot of ways. Especially because one of the biggest things it accomplishes, is essentially reinstating Trump's 2017 tax cut. That expiring would have been horrible for the economy.

So it is a big win. But in a way, to us. Because it's just continuing current policy.

I don't think it's going to feel like that.

Looking at the way it broke down. We're looking at the different groups that -- it's interesting. We talked about the precise thing.

You can either go in there, and say, hey. Here's a little giveaway to you. Here's a little giveaway to you. Here's the thing that you want.

And try to make all of these groups come along. But that's difficult.

Because each group has competing interests at times. And the other approach, is Trump can come in and say, do it.

And --

GLENN: Beat everybody bloody.

STU: Yes, and that's exactly what happened.

He said, it would be the ultimate betrayal, if people voted against it.

When he said that, along with a bunch of the giveaways and different amendments they did at the end. Wound up getting it across the finished line, with I believe only two Republican no votes. And I believe also two present votes.

KELSEY: So here's what I -- here's one thing I want to point out.

There is $1.7 trillion in cuts there. But it's not real.

GLENN: Yeah.

KELSEY: You know, when they pass this, it doesn't mean those cuts go in. They now. I don't understand the procedure.

But they now have to go back. And Congress needs to go, okay. We're activating the cuts.

So there's another step to that. So it's in the bill, if Congress will do it. That's really good.

One seventh in cuts, will be great.

It's still anywhere between three to $5 trillion, over the next, what? Ten years in debt.

I think they said.

And, you know, that's not good.

And I think that's why our treasury bills had a very bad day.

Selling. Hey. Who wants to buy our debt?

Everybody is like -- I don't hear anybody.

There's nobody in this room, is there?

Nobody wanted to buy them. That's going to be very, very bad.

How I interpret all of this. The clock is on.

Donald Trump knows. His theory is, grow your way out of the debt. I believe, grow and cut your way out of the debt.

But his point here is, you can't grow your way out of the debt. Because -- you can't cut your way out of the debt. You have to grow your way. But if you're cutting, the government is so intertwined with everything right now, they've -- they've given so much money. To everything.

That it's -- you know, what is it now?

Like 35 percent. Or 40 percent of our economy is the government?

And so he's like, if you cut that too drastically, too fast. You will cut growth. You have job reports. That are bad, et cetera, et cetera.

He is trying to spur on entrepreneurial spirit.

Because that's the ones who actually create jobs. Are the entrepreneurs. In bad times.

80 percent of jobs come from small businesses.

So now we have to see them putting the pedal to the metal to cut the regulation, especially for small business owners.

So these small business owners, can get to work. They have the tax cut now.

Give them the regulation relief.

And that would be -- that would be tremendous.

But a clock started this morning.

When they passed this bill, and I guess it has to go to the Senate, right?

But they're expecting it to pass today or tomorrow, right?

STU: I don't know. The Senate again is definitely going to change a bunch of stuff.

And it will have to come back together with the House.

There's a long road here.

They may get it across. The Senate is a little more resistant to Trump saying, hey. Just do this.

Than the house is.

You would think. They're going to get something across the finished line eventually.

That's what it looks like.

GLENN: They're really pushing.

And hats off to Congress, this week.

They could have done it long ago, but hats off to Congress. They are saying they want to finish it by this weekend, and that will be important for the country.

But once -- the clock is already starting.

Because it looks like it will pass this budget, which adds to our debt. And that's just going to start the clock. You know, it's a race to the finish.

Is the dollar going to lose value, and is our debt going to keep going up at such a rate so that nobody wants to buy our bonds anymore. And we can't finance.

And we're paying out of control interest rates.

Or is that happening, and we're balancing it out?

Because the entrepreneur and the small businessman is growing at such a rate of speed.

That the economy is producing more taxpayers.

But that is -- boy, I've never seen anything this close to the edge.

It's a little terrifying.

STU: Yeah. And there's a lot of things in there. Look, we wouldn't like.

You know, a good chunk of the Inflation Reduction Act, green new deal style.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: Is just in there. I know.

But, you know, this is just -- what I guess they feel like they have to do.

As we said, it is difficult to get things over the finished line with these small majorities.

And you had some -- some Republicans that didn't like the bill. Just not show up at all.

Some of them just voted present.

A couple of them knows -- I know is one of them.

There's massive problems with the bill.

But, you know, again, Donald Trump wanted a deal.

And this is kind of what he goes after.

I don't think he cares about every individual part of this.

He wants to give the big stuff over the finished line.

And I think that's where he is.

GLENN: I want to talk about something else.

And I think we disagree on this.

There's a new report out, that shows that members. I think of the NIH.

Hid and then -- and then tried to cover up the fact that they knew, that there were real bad side effects to the vaccines.

And this is now documents have been produced. That show, they knew in advance. And they covered it up.

And I personally think, these people are going to jail.

I think the DOJ is going to prosecute them. I think you're going to see. I think you're going to see handcuffs on COVID.

In the next couple of weeks.

But you don't agree with that, do you?

STU: I will be surprised. Maybe there could be some.

It's not impossible.

I haven't seen every single allegation against every single person. I will be surprised though, if the Trump DOJ will go, you know, after, you know, again, this is the vaccine that was Trump bragged about as one of his central accomplishments of his first term.

So I don't know that he's going to see the results the same way. Now, if you have somebody -- we've seen some people lying.

GLENN: Yeah. We're talking about cover-up.

STU: Yeah. But inside of that cover-up, is the -- the -- the view.

That the vaccine is incredibly dangerous to people.

Which it does not seem to be a position that Donald Trump holds.

Now, of course, in theory, he's not micromanaging every single thing that the DOJ does.

But I do think they also have a sense as to what his views are on a lot of these matters. We'll see. You might be right on it. I wouldn't be completely shocked. There certainly are people in and around this apparatus, that have done things.

We have seen emails, around Fauci, for example. But I think our absolutely blatant crimes, so some of this could happen. But I don't know.

If you're going to say, over under. Arrests. For -- for vaccines killing people, in the next few weeks.

Two and a half?

I would take the under.

GLENN: Okay. Let me -- there's a couple of other stories. We talked about the Israeli diplomats that were shot and killed from a guy from Chicago.

Who was literally a Marxist communist.

Radical that was, you know, free Palestine.

And that guy is in jail.

And he's going to be tried, I think in Washington, DC. Which do not make me feel real good. But there's also. And this is another huge story, I think. We now apparently have a whistle-blower, who is a very high -- this is a quote. High, high level Democrat party member. That is involved at the highest levels.

And he has come out or she has come out, as a whistle-blower on three people in the White House, that this whistle-blower says, was not only involved in hiding all of the conditions. But also, they were profiting off of the auto-pen.

If that is true, you're going to see handcuffs on that as well.

Which would be really good for the republic.

Really good.

And congratulations to the democratic operative, if you will.

The high-level Democrat.

Of course, they did say Suzanne Rice, they said -- the reporter said, is Suzanne Rice involved at all?

He's like, no. Definitely not Suzanne Rice. Definitely --

Which makes me think it was Suzanne Rice, that was like, wearing a mustache. No, definitely not Suzanne Rice. She was a great one.

But we will have to see where this goes. But I think those are two really big pieces that are really important, that show the direction of the DOJ and the FBI. You know, in a week where we -- we looked at the DOJ and the FBI at the beginning of the week, like, wait a minute.

Now you're starting to see some other things that say, well, wait, hold on.

Now, let's see them in handcuffs, but I think they're coming.

Exposing the dangerous roots of queer theory

In this explosive conversation, Glenn Beck and Liz Wheeler expose the disturbing roots of gender ideology and queer theory — and how these radical ideas are directly targeting children. From the shocking origins of queer theory, where pedophilia and child pornography were openly defended, to Planned Parenthood’s new role as one of the largest distributors of transgender hormone therapy, the truth is undeniable: this movement is not about freedom or equality, but about dismantling families, corrupting innocence, and profiting off of our children’s pain. What we are witnessing is nothing less than a satanic ideology dressed up as compassion — and it’s spreading like wildfire through schools, culture, and medicine. Parents, you need to hear this. The time to protect your children and fight back is NOW.

Glenn's "secret" to conquering the JFK fitness test

President Trump recently signed an executive order to reinstate the Presidential Fitness Test and the media is in a frenzy. But Glenn and Stu look back at the history of these tests, including JFK’s version of the Test that seems IMPOSSIBLE for modern Americans. But Glenn has a secret reason for why he’s confident in his pull-up abilities…

GLENN: What is the -- what is the new physical -- the president's physical fitness, you know, plan?

STU: Well, the thing that RFK Jr and Hegseth were rolling out the other day. I don't know if it was the full test or anything, but they were issuing a challenge to America, to be able to do 100 pushups and 50 pullups within five minutes.

GLENN: That's crazy.

STU: Thank you! That struck you as also crazy.

I don't think there's ever been a time in my life, that I could do that. Let alone now with shoulder problems. And much too much weight.

GLENN: All right. But that was before I needed this walker.

STU: I don't think there was a time in my 20s or my teens, that I could do that. But that -- in five minutes? Fifty pullups?
GLENN: Both of them in 5 minutes.
STU: Yeah, both of them. So it's not like 100 pushups in five minutes. It's both tasks within five minutes.

GLENN: No. No. That's not true.

STU: RFK Jr. is just doing it in jeans.

GLENN: Yeah, well, RFK, he's -- he's a weirdo. I mean, he is. Come on. When it comes to fitness, he's a weirdo.
STU: Yes.
GLENN: I mean, he's done this his whole life. He's like 800 years old. He can still do it.

STU: Yes. Depressive, I will say.

GLENN: I don't know. He's a sex machine.

STU: Oh. That's been a problem for him. Yes, that's been an issue in his life. Yes.

GLENN: Okay. All right. Go ahead.

STU: Separate from the president's physical fitness test.

GLENN: Right.

STU: But, I mean, they don't, they don't really think we're going to do that, right?
Like, I mean, how long would that take you to do?

STU: I think for me, it would take a good month. I think a month, I could probably get two pullups a day. That would get me around, a little over 50. So I could do that. Plus, the pushups. A solid month, I could get that done.

GLENN: You could do more than two a day. You could do more than two a day.

STU: You know, Glenn, I've got to say. I think -- I will throw a number out there. No science behind this, so just as a guestimate.

I would say 40 percent of the population can't do any pullups. Maybe 30 percent. Thirty percent of the population can do exactly zero pullups. Precisely zero, so an infinite amount of time would be a correct answer for a third of the population.

GLENN: I think you're -- I think you're being -- I think you're being a little too optimistic. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. Maybe 60 percent.

STU: Right! Pushups are one thing. I mean, I think almost anyone can do a pushup. One --

GLENN: You can do a pushup. Yes. Yes.

STU: Singular pushup. And if you can do one, you can wait long enough, to do a second one.
And at some point, the hundred gets done. That's not the case with pullups. Pullups, you can sit there and think about how much you want to do a pullup for a really long time. But that doesn't make a pullup happen. If you've got a certain amount of weight on you. You're not doing a pullup. It's not occurring.

GLENN: I have no idea, how many pullups I can do.

STU: I have an exact number of pullups, you can do.

GLENN: Do you? You think so?

STU: Yeah. Yeah. I have the exact number. I have to calculate -- AI has been running a report on me. It came up with zero.

GLENN: Right. Right. Really?
I can do. I mean, this is so pathetic. Listen to this. I bet I could do three. You know, you could do three.

STU: In a row? Proper form.

GLENN: What do you mean in a row?

STU: I mean, holding on to the bar, without letting go, you're doing three. There's no way. I don't think so.

GLENN: I think I could do. Well, with proper form, I don't know about that. I don't know about that.

STU: I'm not saying it has to look pretty. You have to get your chin up above the bar. It can't be one of those things, where you're a quarter of the way up there.

GLENN: So I can do one and rest for ten minutes. I could do another one.

I think I can do that.

STU: If you -- I'm not saying, you jump up, and you pull yourself up as you're pulling up. Full hang --

GLENN: See, you may not know this.

But you know what, I've done the DNA test. Have you ever done the DNA test that tells you all about your genes and everything else? Mine came back with something remarkable, and I have to share. You might feel bad, next.

STU: Coming up next, Glenn attempts live pullups on the air. Stay tuned!
(OUT AT 8:29 AM)

GLENN: You know no idea what who you're dealing with. No. You don't have any idea who you're dealing with here.

I got my DNA test back like 10 years ago. And we all -- we all took it, because we were looking for things. And so we all took it. My DNA test came back, and everybody in the family, their test made total sense. Like, oh, yeah. That makes...

Then we read mine. We have to find -- I have to find. See if Tania has it still. We should have had it framed. I swear to you, they -- they mixed me up with somebody else.

Somebody else is like, wait a minute. I'm this pathetic? Mine came out and said, you have the muscular structure of a -- of a -- something like a -- an elite athlete. You have the abilities and agility and everything else of an elite athlete. And I'm like, there's not a chance. I don't have any of that!

I don't even know if I have muscles. I have to check once in a while, and go, do I have muscles still?

Doctor is like, I don't know. Can I? Ask just press against my hand on the leg. I don't know.

You know, I don't know how to do that exactly. So --

STU: You sure it said elite athlete and not elephant? I mean, if they misspelled it.

GLENN: It was.

I was having eye problems at the time.

STU: No!

GLENN: I mean, we read it. And I was like Tania, I believe that for Tania.

Maybe they switched me and Tania. Because Tania is really strong. She'll kick your butt.

She works out every day. All of that. Me? Never. Never.

And it kind of makes me wonder, when I get to the other side, and the Lord went, okay.

So what did you do with your life again?

Because I gave this incredible body, and you wasted it the whole time.

And I'm like, you should have been more clear, okay?

You should have been more clear. I -- maybe I could have played basketball. But I tried once. And it was embarrassing. It was embarrassing. It was like sixth grade. And I'll never live -- I don't even want to think about my time on a basketball court. Okay? So don't -- don't start with me. You should have made it a little clearer. When I first started to do stuff. And I think that's fair. I think that's a fair argument. In my defense. In my defense, Your Honor, God, you should have made it a little more clear.

STU: Yeah. I mean, if they really wanted us to do this, then the 11th Commandment is 50 pushups, and -- or, 50 pullups and 100 pushups, right?

Like, put it in a commandment if you really want us to do it. You have to be more specific, we're Americans.

GLENN: Okay. So let me give you the top of the list for the JFK Presidential Fitness Test. Okay? This is what you had to do in high school. In high school.

Thirty-four pullups. Bar dips: Fifty-two. What's -- because I believe I did that. A long time. And I don't recommend it.

STU: It's not a barhop.

GLENN: Oh, it's -- oh, bar dips. Okay. Okay. All right.

Bar dips: 52. Handstand pushups: Fifty. What are handstands?

STU: Oh, my God. Handstands.

GLENN: I can't even stand on my hands. Is that I'm doing a handstand and a push up? Because that's not happening. You're not human.

STU: Yeah. You're balancing yourself on your hands. Your feet are above your hands on the wall. Like a wall. And you're doing --

GLENN: Oh, so you're balancing yourself. That makes it a little easier. Still impossible.

But a little easier.

GLENN: Impossible. You could do precisely zero of those.

Aright. So you had to do 50 handstand pushups.

Or one arm -- 30 -- no, sir.

Twenty-six one-arm burpees in 30 seconds. Is that a one-armed push up?

STU: No. Well, you're bracing your yourself like you're about to begin a pushup in a burpee with only one arm, which that's not that difficult.

But then you're doing. Then you're like, you move your feet towards your hands. And then you jump up in the air basically. And then you do it repeatedly.

GLENN: No, no, no. That's ridiculous. No.

STU: There's a law of gravity. You're not supposed to violate it. If it was a recommendation of gravity, then maybe jumping would be appropriate. But it's not. Follow the law.

GLENN: In 48 seconds, you had to do a 3300-yard shuttle. Now, I've been to the airport. I think I've done a 3300-yard shuttle, but it depends on who is driving. You know.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Rope climb. Try this. Rope climb. Twenty feet, hands only! Sit start.

STU: That's what I remember from the president's physical fitness test. And I remember looking at that rope, like, no chance I could get up that thing.

GLENN: I remember looking up at that thing. Humiliation. Humiliation is coming my way. I'll never kiss a girl, because that ain't happening. I'll get maybe 10 feet up. Maybe. Maybe.

STU: And you were right for 24 years from that time, approximately.

GLENN: Agility run, 17 seconds. Extension pressups, what? What?

I'm sorry. Why am I so tired reading this?

Extension pressups. What's an extension pressup, 8-inch? You had to do 100 of them.

STU: Let's see. Exercise. An exercise for low-back pain involving lying on your stomach and pressing your upper body up with your arms while keeping your hips relaxed and down on the mat.

GLENN: Oh, I could do that know. 8 inches.

STU: The last part of it, relaxing down on the mat.
GLENN: That's what my doctor says I should be doing. What?

STU: I can do relaxed and down on the mat. That part of it --

GLENN: Yeah. I could do that -- I'm the only guy. I took yoga for a while, like three weeks. My wife is like, yoga. You could do yoga. Let's just do yoga together.

I did. And the yoga instructor said to me. Because we were doing a plank.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And she came and all I remember her waking me up. And saying, I think you're the only person I've ever -- ever taught that fell asleep in yoga. And I'm like, it's just so relaxing. Just let me sleep. Let me sleep.

STU: That's interesting, that you did yoga. Is there any footage of that? Any video that we could post? That would be good for --

GLENN: No. There's not. You had to do pegboard. Five trips of pegboard. And I think that's when you have the two pegs.

STU: Yes, it was a board.

GLENN: You have to take it out, and put it up, right?

STU: This is American Ninja Warrior. No way.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

STU: This is amazing.

GLENN: Try this one: You had to do a 45-second handstand. I've never been able to do a handstand. Never!

STU: Never.

GLENN: And I'm an elite athlete. I'm an elite athlete. Try this one: A man carry, 5 miles.

STU: What? What do you mean a --

GLENN: Five-mile man carry.

STU: Is a man carry as obvious as it --

GLENN: I think it is.

STU: You're carrying --

GLENN: If I'm going to carry that man, you have to carry me that man for five miles.

I'm not sure, I can't carry any man for any miles. I mean, if I am -- if I am a firefighter, count on burning in the house. You're going to burn in the house. Because I can't carry you out. I can get in there and go, yeah, I will have to leave you.
I will have to leave you here. I can't help you, sorry.

It's also getting really hot in here. I have to go. You had to do a five-mile jog. An obstacle course.

You had to swim prone for a mile. You had to swim underwater for 50 yards, any strokes, two minutes. Deep waterfront, hang float, with arms. What? What is a deep water hang float with arms. Wait. Wait.

It's a deep waterfront hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes.

What kind of al-Qaeda PE class was this?

STU: Who has access to -- who has access -- like, you're in the middle of the country, you may not have a deep water body nearby. This is -- are you sure this is an actual test?

GLENN: This is the actual test. This is the actual -- what is a deep water front hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes? Can you look that up?

STU: A deep water hang float is an aquatic hang float done in the deep end of a pool with the aid of flotation device, such as a noodle or belt.

In this position, the flotation twice supports your upper body, while your legs and torso hang freely beneath you.

That can't be what it is.

GLENN: You can do that.

Deep-end of the pool.

STU: Can you bring a margarita?

GLENN: Man, this test is no big deal.

What! No way. No way!

Here's the last thing on the test.

A vertical tread in an 8-foot circle for two hours!

No way.

STU: Vertical tread in an 8-foot circle?

GLENN: So you're in the water and you're treading water in a circle for two hours. Two!

STU: This is not -- what?

This is not the test.

GLENN: It is. Now, I told you, this is the top of the test.

This is the top of the test.

So this is for the ones who could do all the other tests.

This was the top of the test. The bottom of the test is not that much better. Here's the entry, okay? Let's see. Pullups, 2/6/10. I don't know what that means. Pushups, 16, 24, 32. Bar dips, four, eight, and 12. Situps, 30, 45, and 60. Broad jump, 6-foot, 6, 6, 6. And 6, 9.

To jump 6 feet? I don't even know if --

STU: That one is possible, yes. Glenn, I know it sounds incredible. But, yes. That one is possible.

GLENN: Sounds incredible. You know, I think we should have the average person Olympics. I really do. I really do.

STU: Oh, I would watch that.

GLENN: I would watch that every time.

You see them coming. And you're like, hmm. That one -- three feet. I'm giving him 3 feet. 200-yard shuttle. Agility run. Rope climb, 18 feet, hands only. 880 yards in three minutes. A mile in seven minutes. Pegboard, six holes. A 50-yard swim. Forty -- 40, 50-yard swim in 36 seconds. Man carry, 880 yards. No, thank you! No, thank you!

Look at -- look at what we've gone down. That's the bottom of it. And I don't think most Americans could do that.

I couldn't. Well, I could. Because I'm an elite -- I have the body of an elite athlete.

STU: No. You could not. Now, of course -- let's just say, this is supposed to be for a high school kid. Right?

So this is the prime of your athletic life. Could you do some of these things? Probably.
GLENN: Go into high school.
Go into any high school, and ask them to do this. There's no way. And all of the kids would be.

STU: Well, that's kind of what the reaction would be.

GLENN: Don't get me wrong. I would have been there too. And my parents would have said, suck it up. Just do it.

So nothing has really changed.

STU: That's been the reaction to this proposal too, of bringing this back. Right? The media is covering this. Like, it's going to embarrass children.

You know, I mean, I do remember it being like, I can't do that. I'm not going to the top of that rope. That's not happening.

That's sort of life. Right? Sometimes you can do things. Sometimes you can't do other things.

GLENN: That's why you have to learn how to injure yourself.

You know, how many stairs can I throw myself down, to not do serious damage, but enough to get me out of PE.

STU: Yeah, you have to fake an why are. You have to learn from LeBron James. Act like you got hit in the eye. And fall down like you were just stabbed over and over again, like you were in an athletic competition.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

THIS is why self-reliance may be your ONLY protection from SLAVERY

Are you truly free, or is your life quietly controlled by systems most Americans never question? In this eye-opening conversation, Glenn Beck speaks with investigative journalist Whitney Webb about how the Elites, banks, and global systems have created modern forms of enslavement, all while the public remains largely unaware. They discuss the urgent need for local self-reliance, alternative financial systems, and taking personal responsibility to protect yourself and your family.

SHOCKING: Glenn Beck Interviews 'Detransitioner' Deceived by Doctors

Claire Abernathy was just 14-years-old when doctors told her parents she’d take her own life without hormones and surgery. They promised “gender care” would save her life. Instead, it left Claire with irreversible scars, broken trust, and a lifetime of regret. Her mom was told she was required to comply. No one ever addressed the bullying, or trauma Claire endured before being rushed into medical transition. Now, years later, both Claire and her mother are speaking out and exposing how families are misled, how doctors hide risks, and how children are left to pay the price. With federal investigations now underway, their story is a warning every parent needs to hear.
