Where’s the TRUTH amid the Ukraine, Russia conflict?

Glenn’s job is to tell you the TRUTH, but when it comes to some details from the Ukraine/Russia conflict, currently he’s struggling to find it. Why? Because everything on social media is filtered, everything from the mainstream media or our White House is partisan, and there’s propaganda coming from BOTH sides. There may be a clear good guy and bad guy, but so many details and decisions still remain ‘in the fog of war,’ Glenn says. ‘My problem with this is [that] everybody is just jumping onto a bandwagon. And if you disagree or question and say, hey, let's not race to World War III…you're of course an enemy.’

GLENN:All right. So Kamala Harris has been doing the morning shows. And she was explaining how tough these sanctions are, on Russia.

Here she is.

VOICE: Is that something that the administration would consider in terms of further sanctions, cutting off the oil and gas, part of the economy?

GLENN: Stop for just a second. Just a second.

Is that something that the administration would -- would consider adding, in the future.

Cutting off the Russian oil supply.

Is that something they would consider?

See, I would think that that's where we would start. You know what I mean?

I would think, that's their major source of income.

Now, I'm not a balance a dancer. And I probably would not look good in a leotard. Probably.

However, if they hit me first, when they -- when they try to shut us down, if they hit me first, with no money from your balance a performances. I'm going to tell you, I'm going to cry. I'm going to weep. It's going to be terrible. Terrible.

Don't hit me, you know, like on the radio thing. Or the broadcasting thing. No, no, no, no.

A lot of my money comes through balance a dancing.

And then, if you say, I can't watch Batman. I can't -- what do you mean?

I'm going to have to wait? You're not going to give me an advanced showing of Batman? Are you out of your mind?

Between that and balance a dancing, how am I going to go on?

That's what Putin is thinking right now. So the question to our vice president is, would you guys consider cutting off his -- his money supply, by ban Russian oil exports?

VOICE: Is that something that the administration would consider in terms of further sanctions. Cutting off the oil and gas, part of the economy, for Russia?

GLENN: Consider. Listen to the answer.

VOICE: Well, as you know, that on this issue, for example, we applaud Germany, in terms of what it has done as it relates to Nord Stream 2. As it relates to what we need to do domestically, as well as what we need to do in terms of this issue generally, we have, as the president said, reevaluated what we're doing in terms of the strategic oil reserve here in the United States, to make sure --

GLENN: Stop. Anybody notice.

I mean, somebody. Please, send up a flare, if she gets close to answering the question. Just send up a flare. We'll come back to you.

STU: In terms of what?

GLENN: In terms of considering cutting the money off.

STU: In terms of oil? In terms of -- in terms of her answer of oil. In terms of that.

GLENN: Yeah. If you see that, just send up a flare.

STU: In terms of her answer? Okay. I mean, want to make sure I understand.

STU: In terms of her response to the question.

GLENN: So then she goes right into, as the president has said, we're addressing this now, with our strategic oil reserves. Now, let's just do a little math here. Okay.

First of all, we're talking about hurting the Russians.

Not America. Okay?

How do we cut their money off, from oil?

He's doing a bang-up job of cutting all our money off. By making oil and gasoline wildly expensive. Okay?

Hey. Don't you wish you could live up north right now, so you could pay for the oil and gas to heat your house?

Oh, my gosh. You and Boston must be having a blast right now.

Oh, by the way, in Boston, you're the one receiving the Russian oil.

All right. So we'll release the strategic oil reserve.

Let's look at those three words, shall we?

Strategic, oil, reserve. What does that imply? Well, it's a place you put oil, right?

STU: Uh-huh.

In terms of oil.

GLENN: You're reserving it, okay?

And you're reserving it for what?

STU: Some sort of strategic purpose.

GLENN: Huh. What is that?

Well, it's certainly not higher prices. The strategic oil reserve, is something we started, because when we got into global war, we went, jeez. If somebody cuts off our oil. We better have enough oil, so we can make the fuel for our planes and aircraft carriers.

That's what the strategic oil reserve is for.

Now, you know, it's not like we're on the edge of World War III.
It's not like we have a -- a global conflict.

Two weeks ago. Two weeks ago, none of us were thinking, hey, I wonder if they were going to launch missiles. None of us were thinking.

None of us were going, you know. It is a possibility, that we have World War III. I mean, it could happen tomorrow. None of us were thinking that.

I'm a guy who worries about everything. I wasn't worried about that two and a half weeks ago. Were you?

So, you know, two and a half weeks ago, maybe. Hey, we'll dip into the strategic oil reserves.

The oil that we have reserved, strategically, so our war machine could have fuel.
Let's dip into that. You know what, we're just going to release a whole bunch of stuff. It is according to Goldman Sachs, not going to make a dime of difference, at the gas pump.

But let's just get rid of some of that oil. Man, that oil is just sitting around, not doing anything.

Okay. Okay.

This is great.

You know what we should do?

We should go and try to destroy anything with the word Russian in it. Like the Russian tea room. Did you hear in Washington, DC, the Russian Waffle House, or whatever the hell it is. It's in DC. Probably run either by the Russian mob, or, you know, the KGB. Probably.

But, you know, I don't think we need to go in and destroy it. Do you?

I mean, as a private citizen, do you think that's really?

I mean, he did lose his black belt. Now, if he loses the Russian Waffle House, what is he going to do?

People are also in New York City, be the going to the Russian tea room, in protest.

Now, let's think this one through. The Russian tea room.

Hmm. It was started in -- well, the 1920s. 1927.

Started by Russian ballet people.

Yeah, from the Soviet Union.

Yeah. That's -- that's the time. Now, I -- who knows what the Russian tea room really is, you know. But let me just tell you. I know it was started in the '20s. I know it was started by a bunch of Russians. And I know there were a bunch of ballerinas. I know they were performing at Carnegie hall.

And then they just left. They left their country. They needed to make ends meet. So they started the Russian tea room. My gosh, the infiltration in this country is crazy.

Now, let's not think and dwell too long. That maybe in 1927. Those members of the imperial ballet, didn't like what was happening in the Soviet Union. And defected.

Russian tea room. Wait a minute. No. It's all about Russia. That tea has got something in it, that makes me hate Ukrainians.

Let's not eat there, I'll tell you that right now. What is wrong with us?

This is the first time, this is the first time -- yeah. I think I can say -- it's the first time, that I have seen such a coordinated effort. On all fronts. I don't know what's true anymore.

I have no idea. I know I've done my homework over the last two years, because of the Trump nightmare. The lies that came from the media, last time about Ukraine. I know who they are. I know how they're connected to Joe Biden. And his lovely son.

I know that our State Department, is responsible for that little Nazi group.

What! How could you say that!

They hate Nazis. No. They really don't. Our State Department and our -- our CIA, they'll fund anyone, anyone.

Oh, that's crazy. They would never do that. They would never do that. I mean, certainly, they wouldn't have done that with Osama Bin Laden. We were the ones who financed all that.

And then it became a little tough. Now, all the newspapers. All of them. New York Times and Washington Post. They have done long stories, on this particular Nazi group.

Okay? They've been against it. They've been wait a minute. None of them are exposing that we financed it. With, gee. That missing $7 million. Where did I put that $7 million?

But now, the Washington Post and the New York Times, they're just rediscovering this Nazi group.

What? Have you heard? No, that's not. That can't be true. No. Ukraine is the good guy. That's -- it's a small group. It's nothing to worry about. Really? Because I read your newspaper. I read what you said before. How do you trust anything?

My job is to tell you the truth. I can't tell you the truth, of what's going on in Ukraine. Because I can't read anything other than what social media has -- has filtered for me, so I only see one side of it.

Or what the cable news companies are showing me.

I don't know.

I don't know. I just know, that Steven Miller is right. That this was the first war, that is all social media.

How dare you say that! Is it because you're white and these people are white. What about Syria?

No. No. No. This one is highly organized. This one involves everyone.

And it involves Zelinsky. Who I like.

But let's not forget, he's an actor.

Let's not forget, he knows how to use social media. Good for him. I'm glad.

But do we know?

I mean, look at how many things that we've heard. Have you heard about the ghost of -- what is it? The ghost of Kyiv? What was that ghost? The pilot.

STU: Yeah. That supposedly was knocking down all these planes. Not accurate.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. It's, what?

Don't pay attention to him. Did you hear about those brave Ukrainian soldiers that were in that island?

And the Russian ship came up. And said, hey, you give up your arms.

And they were like. Screw you, Russia! Yeah, that was a great story. Oh, not true.

STU: They did say that. They just didn't die after it.

GLENN: Yeah. Those brave soldiers, didn't go out in a blaze of glory.

STU: Still a badass move. But they didn't actually die.

GLENN: Who knows what stories are true or not. Okay?

We're in the fog of war. My problem with this is, everybody is just jumping on to a bandwagon. And if you disagree or question and say, hey, let's not race to World War III, you're, of course, an enemy.

STU: Yeah. To this point, Glenn. We're sitting here, talking about this furious, Ukrainian response. Which does seem to be real. And something that I'm cheering on.

GLENN: Me too. Me too.

STU: I want them to fight back. And fight back valiantly, as they are. But how many stories have we heard from the media, about how Russia stalled. They've tried to do this. It's been a lot harder.

They're not getting it to where they want it to be. So it's been a week, since this started. A week. It took us two weeks, to get to Baghdad.

So we are half of the time, that it took us -- in what we all would look at, the easiest, quickest war ever, for us to get to Baghdad.

That was -- remember the whole Baghdad Bob stuff?
Anyone who said they were defending -- they were coming up with the furious defense. They were mocked.

Because it took us two weeks.

It's only been one week.

And I know social media and the news sile, makes it seem like this has been going on forever.

It's been one week. And I feel we have a lot of really ugly days, coming here. In the coming weeks and months.

GLENN: That is -- that is my point.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: How do you really know what's going on, on the ground?

Have you heard the Russian side?

I believe it's most likely propaganda. I can tell you, the West is all propaganda as well, right now.

This is the reason, you have a free flow of information.
So you can read differing accounts, and make your own decisions. But if you really are a nation of, wait a minute. So that's a big nation of a smaller country.

And that's somehow wrong. Well, then, I guess we need overlords to tell us, what we can do.

Yeah. And I'm going to go in, and I'm going to spit that tea out, at that Russian. That commie tea room.

Come on, America. We're better than this. We are better than this.

Did USAID Really Fund Chelsea Clinton’s Wedding? Here's the FACTS

As DOGE continues to expose the many, many ways our government has wasted taxpayer dollars, Glenn gives a warning: “You have to be really careful [what you believe] because we don’t want to wreck our credibility.” While the things DOGE has uncovered have been true, there are also a lot of rumors and misinformation spreading online. Glenn addresses some of those rumors, like the seemingly-unfounded claim that USAID helped fund Chelsea Clinton’s wedding through the Clinton Foundation. We must ask questions, but we can’t jump to conclusions without being sure that we have the real facts. Glenn also addresses some provably true stories of government waste, like how the Pentagon overpays for things and why Glenn supports Trump’s decision to stop minting pennies.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Looking at the DOGE stuff, and I want to talk about this next hour.

We have to be really, really careful. Because I don't know about you, but when I heard that we possibly paid for Chelsea Clinton's wedding.

PAT: Yeah. Do we have that substantiated though?

GLENN: We don't. We don't.

And that's why I want to bring that up.

PAT: You have to be careful with that stuff. A ton.

STU: A lot of stuff coming out online.

And you can't quote this stuff. You have to be really, really careful.

Because we just don't want to, A, wreck our credibility.

And, you know, when we find out that it is absolutely true, that's when we can go and say, round them up!

Let's put them court.

PAT: Yeah. Yeah. There's -- there's a viral chart going around that shows Chelsea Clinton got, I don't know. Something like $84 million from the foundation from the Clinton foundation.

And that 3 million of that went to her wedding.

GLENN: Okay. So I think -- I think they did get $84 million.

PAT: I think that went to the foundation, right?

GLENN: Yeah. It went to the foundation.

Got it for the whole run. For Haiti or whatever.

And, you know, we know they spent $84 million in Haiti.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: Because look at the place now.

Oh, it's beautiful he has not it's beautiful.

PAT: Well, we were there, how many years after the earthquake.

And it still looked the same. As if the earthquake had just happened. You remember that?

GLENN: Oh, yeah. And the people from Haiti were saying to us, where is the money?

PAT: Where is the $10 billion? Yeah. Because that could have rebuilt. That could have rebuilt the entire country. 10 billion.

GLENN: About four times. About four times over, I think.

PAT: Yep. Yep.

GLENN: I mean, it is -- Haiti is just -- it's a sad, sad situation.

It's been ripped off by everybody in the world over and over again.

And I think the Clintons are, you know, they kind of lead the way on the -- on the charity for Haiti graft.

PAT: Yeah.

STU: But we don't know anything about that. We do know the Clinton initiative got $84 million.

But we don't know any more than that.

And, you know, honestly, if you're spending your tax dollars, I mean, that's what people have to realize.

Even if it is, you know -- even if it is -- it didn't go to Chelsea's wedding.

Which I would be surprised.

I would be shocked, if they were that bold!

PAT: Yeah.

STU: But, you know, this isn't an effective use of your money.

And people who are looking at it, and saying, well, it was only $5 million.

How much money have you paid your entire life in taxes?

Because I guarantee you, it's not going to be $5 million.

It's not! Very few people to have pay $5 million in their lifetime of taxes.

So that means, that everything that you paid. Everything that you worked for. When you work four months a year, to pay your income tax.

All of that has been wasted, your entire life.

I don't know!

I'm kind of pissed about that.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: I mean, what could you have done with all of that money?

And I -- I just don't -- I don't get people who are, you know, again, like we said, I'm for aid.

I'm absolutely for aid. I'm absolutely for looking at countries, and saying, how can we help you, if it's in our interest, and that's not aid.

That would be development. But I'm not for most of the development that has been happening. I'm not interested in nation building!

You know, so, you know, even if you're for that, are you cool with it going 60 cents on every dollar? To the government officials?

Or to the charitable officials. And only 40 cents of that dollar?

I mean, I'm not happy with that. We've gotten so used to corruption, in our government, on, you know, the Pentagon spent $400 on, you know -- on a toilet seat.

We're so used to that. That we just expect it.

This is not that.

The corruption that we're finding now, is beyond imagination.

It's going to be hard for people to get their arms around, what you're actually looking at.

Because we expect a certain amount of -- unfortunately, a certain amount of corruption.

But nothing like this!

And if you're -- you know, if you are a Democrat and you're inclined, not to believe it.

Okay!

I can understand that.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, for a while.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. And say, I probably would have been skeptical, if Joe Biden -- I would have been skeptical if Joe Biden would have come in and said, we will route out all of the corruption.

I would have thought, well, no.

They're getting rid of anybody who is conservative on corruption.

That's why I'm so excited about the Pentagon because that's going to be a lot of conservative love.

You know what I mean?

So called conservative love. It's just graft and greed and cronyism.

But still, it -- it's -- we're supposed to be in love.

The left is supposed to be in love with aid.

We're supposed to be in love with death. I'm not -- I -- I am not blind to either one of those things.

But go into the Pentagon. I would love to see them take.

At you see the congressman or the senator last week, that held up a bag of bolts, and said, this is about $10 at the store?

It's $10,000, if the Pentagon buys it!

PAT: Jeez.

STU: Where is that money going?

PAT: Incredible.

GLENN: Who is getting that money?
And, you know, you would say, well, they're charging ten thousands of individuals dollars a bolt, because, you know, the aircrafts that they're building.

They're so expensive.

And they can't actually charge the price of what it takes.

No, they're charging us the price with all of the overruns.

All of the hundreds of billions of dollars in overruns.

They're charging us that as well.

So my question is: Where do those billions of dollars end up?

In just the pockets of, what? McDonnell-Douglas?

PAT: Raytheon?

GLENN: Raytheon.

PAT: Congress people?

GLENN: Right!

PAT: You know, a lot. A lot of it -- you know it's winding up in their pocketbooks. Has to be.

GLENN: And you know what really bothers me is, these people are taking our tax dollars. And then they're giving that money, through lobbying. To our politicians. Who are allowing the corruption to happen.

So it's just this giant circular -- I'm just going to leave it at that.

This giant circular, something.

I don't -- I don't know what happens in circles.

But there it is.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: By the way, the other thing that Trump said, first of all, he's getting rid of pennies.

Did you hear that?

Executive order. Thank you!

I mean, you know, takes 3 cents to create 1 cent. What are we doing?

That's the dims thing I've ever, ever seen.

PAT: Yes. Especially when nobody wants pennies. Nobody uses them.

If you ever use cash. And you get pennies back.

You just put it in their take a penny jar, usually.

And don't even want it messing up your pocket.

GLENN: Right. I mean, it's absolutely worthless to the American people.

And it's costing our government 3 cents to make 1 cent.

Finally, the president is -- I mean, all of this stuff is so common sense. That's what's so frustrating about all of this.

Should had it should have been done long ago.

But for some reason, we just couldn't. We've known about the penny thing.

I've known about the penny thing, when it was a cent and a half to make a penny.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: That long ago.

PAT: He's -- he's leaving no stone unturned right now.

You've got the penny thing.

And then he just did the straw situation.

Did you see that?

We're going back to plastic straws.

He signed an executive order, or he is going to. Ending the ridiculous Biden push for paper straws, which don't work. Back to plastic, he tweeted out! Or truthed out.

GLENN: I love that.

PAT: It's just -- it's amazing the things that he's covering, at a breathtaking speed.

GLENN: I love that.

Do we have the CBS anchor trying to explain how Trump's approval ratings are going through the roof? Listen to this. Cut ten.

VOICE: What's driving this?

VOICE: I will keep it simple, Margaret. He's doing what he said he would do in the campaign. There's political value in that. In fact, 70 percent of people say he's doing what he's promised. That's whether they approve of him or not.

Now, there's another part of this that continues over from the campaign. There are words he was described as being tough. Being energetic.

And he still is today, in big majority numbers.

So as people take a look in these first few weeks, there's been a lot of activity. They're getting that general sense of governance. And that's being reflected in these early numbers.

VOICE: So that's perception. What about the actual policies?

VOICE: Well, let's start with the ones that are popular.

Again, these echo the ones we see in the campaign. The idea of deporting those in the country illegally continues to be popular. We saw that in the campaign.

GLENN: 59 percent.

VOICE: Sending troops to the US-Mexico border. Again, majority --

GLENN: 64 percent.

PAT: Wow! Wow.

GLENN: I mean, it is -- and they're just baffled by it. I don't understand. No. Really.

Trump Border Czar WARNS Cartels, Illegal Immigrants, & Anti-ICE Politicians

White House Border Czar Tom Homan joins Glenn with the latest updates to the illegal immigration crackdown. He lays out why he took the job, how the deportations are going so far, and what’s coming next. Homan also explains why he’s “very concerned” about violent threats from the cartels. But he has a warning for them: “If they harm a SINGLE Border Patrol agent or soldier, President Trump is gonna rain hell down on them and I think he'll wipe them off the face of the earth." Plus, Homan has a message for anti-ICE politicians in sanctuary cities: "[Pam Bondi] will have NO PROBLEM if I recommend prosecution of a politician for impeding or knowingly harboring and concealing an illegal alien.”

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

From Reality TV to Deadly Rescue Missions | Diesel Brothers | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 244

When the State or National Guard can’t complete a rescue mission, it’s time to call the Diesel Brothers. “Heavy D” (‪@HeavyDSparks‬) and “Diesel Dave” rose to fame thanks in part to a prank that landed them on Jay Leno's show and then the Discovery Channel. But now they've found a much more meaningful passion. The Diesel Brothers have since carried out multiple rescue missions to recover crashed airplanes and missing persons, making use of their most impressive vehicles. These include Heavy D’s Black Hawk helicopter, which they say leaves the FAA asking, “Who are these guys and how do we know they aren’t going to kill themselves?” In a conversation about trucks, fame, and “rolling coal,” the two men outline their ongoing legal battles with an environmental group in Utah and give their take on the rise of electric vehicles. Heavy D, who has met the president himself, tells Glenn that “Trump has an authentic admiration of Glenn” because he is “legit,” and the three men applaud Trump for not taking on a “God complex” after the assassination attempt. In the end, the two put Glenn in the hot seat, asking him to name the one person — alive or deceased — that he would most want to have dinner with.

How Trump’s 15% Tax Plan Could UNLEASH American Prosperity

President Trump is working on a plan to lower corporate tax rates to 15% for companies that make their products in the United States. Informal Trump economic advisor and Committee to Unleash Prosperity co-founder Stephen Moore joins Glenn to make the case that this plan, coupled with tariffs, could unleash American prosperity. But Trump might not stop there. Moore addresses whether Trump could get a “15/15/15” tax plan past Congress, meaning 15% corporate tax, 15% income tax, and 15% tariffs. “If he could pull that off,” Glenn argues, “it’s a new world!”

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Stephen Moore, welcome to the program. Committee to unleash prosperity cofounder.

If I remember right, you've been with me against tariffs for a long time. Have you changed on this?

Because I think I'm changing, Steven.

STEPHEN: Hey, Glenn, good to be with you. Also, I'm an informal adviser to Trump on the economy. And, by the way, he knows that I'm not a huge fan of tariffs. But you set this up very well.

You know, a tariff is basically a consumption tax.

GLENN: Oh, good. Correct.

STEPHEN: It's something you and I talked about over the years is the national retail sales tax replace the income tax. Well, if you did that, you would essentially be taxing everything when it came in to the country.

Because it will be consumed here. And so what Trump is basically talking about, which I think is a really interesting idea, is not necessarily getting rid of the income tax. But lowering all the tax rates to 15 percent. You know, right now, you know, it's 30 percent or more. And then imposing that --

GLENN: I was going to say, what kind of world do you live in? I would celebrate with 30 percent income tax.

STEPHEN: Yeah. Right. If you're really rich, you could be uphill by 40 percent.

So I kind of like that idea. So I go with Trump the other day.

To say, the 15-15-15. So how about we have a 15 percent corporate rate, a 15 percent individual income tax rate, a 15 percent universal tariff, 15 percent capital gains/dividends.

Can you imagine that?

GLENN: It would unleash prosperity like nobody's business.

STEPHEN: Prosperity. Yeah. It would.

No country could compete with us here. Let me give you an example, you know, Glenn, that I think everybody can relate to because you have listeners all over the country.

You know what states in the United States have the biggest in migration right now?

GLENN: Yeah. Florida and Texas.

STEPHEN: And Tennessee.

GLENN: Okay.

STEPHEN: Now, for a bonus question, I know you're supposed to be asking questions. What you know those states have in common?

GLENN: No income tax.

STEPHEN: No income tax. So businesses, capital, and jobs, migrate to the places with low tax rates. So if we have the lowest tax rates in the world, on top of the greatest workers in the world, the freest country in the world, I mean, we would just blow away the rest of the world. And Trump is very -- I don't know. You know, it will be tough to get that done. But that's where he wants to end up.

GLENN: I tell you, that's the problem we've always had with tariffs, for me at least. It's just a tax, and you're already taxing us.

STEPHEN: Right.

GLENN: Well, then buy American, and then you don't to have pay for that tariff.

But I'm are already being taxed a pretty high rate.

Please, I don't want to pay more for things that maybe I want. Or maybe they're cheaper.

Because they're coming from China.

STEPHEN: Yeah. This is a good conversation for people who have this.

Trump said different things at different times.

In my conversation in the last week. It basically was saying, he put it very simply.

He said this to some of the speeches too. What he wants to do is charge a 15 percent tax on things that are made in China. Or, you know, Europe.

GLENN: Right.

STEPHEN: Or Japan.

But if it's made in Michigan or Ohio or Pennsylvania or California or Maine, he wants to have the rate 15 percent.

I'm like, well, I can live with that, Mr. President. I think that's a pretty cool idea.

I mean, I'm an America First guy. I'd rather have people buy things that are made in America, all things equal.

GLENN: Wait. Wait. Wait.

You just said, if it's from China, you're paying 15 percent tariff. But if it's made in America, you say you pay an extra 15 percent. That's zero!

STEPHEN: No. What I'm saying, you're going to pay a 15 percent income tax, if it's made in the United States. In other words, the profits you make on selling something. Let's say you make widgets. And you make a profit in making widget does in Pennsylvania and wherever it is.

GLENN: Right. But to buy that product, if it's made in America, you don't pay any tax!

STEPHEN: No, no, no.

In other words, what you're trying to do is skew the table a little bit more in favor of buying things in the US versus other countries. By the way, that's what other countries do to us.

GLENN: I know. I know.

I have to tell you, I think the way the president is handling really, everything.

I've never seen anything like this, Steven. Have you?

STEPHEN: Me either. No. I've been in the game as long as you have. I have arrived in Washington in the Reagan years.

So I still think Reagan was one of our greatest presidents. I still think Trump, it's interesting. Because whenever we have meetings, with Trump, he's always talking about -- he's very kind of envious. He wants to go down in history, as one of the great presidents like Reagan. To role model that out.

So I think, I think we're -- and he also will understand, Glenn, he's only got really about two years to get it done.

And then we will -- he's a lame duck. He can't run for reelection again. He understands that. That's why he races out of the gate like sectator out of the office.

I think I said on your show a month ago, or so. Buckle up. Because this will be a hell of a ride. And it's only been three weeks.

GLENN: I know. Seven days. And I think he's accomplished more than most presidents have done in their entire term.

STEPHEN: Definitely. Definitely.

GLENN: And I don't think it will stop any time soon.

Because I said, you've got only two years to do this. He said, Glenn, two years. I've got 100 days.

If I don't have all this done in 100 days. It's not going to get done.

STEPHEN: There's a lot of truth to that. There's a lot of truth to that. That's why we have to get this tax cut done.

That's one of my highest priorities is making sure we make the tax cuts that we cashed in 2017 permanent. I want to make sure your listeners understand something.

I think most of your listeners know this. But a lot of people are not aware of it.

If Congress does nothing, everybody's taxes are going to go up next year. Everyone's. You know, we don't want Donald Trump raising taxes on people.

And so we have to get this tax cut done. I like his idea of no tax on tips. I like the idea of no tax on overtime. We'll add some other things on it.

But these are all oriented toward making an American economy great again. And it's going to work!

GLENN: So why aren't we going for 15-15-15, over doing -- you know, making this permanent, why not in just one move try to go for the whole enchilada?

STEPHEN: Well, stick around, my friend, it may happen. We'll see how it turns out.

At the very minimum, we have to make those taxes permanent.

But we may go further than that. We may go with 15-15-15, and that would be a remarkable accomplishment.

And then we will produce American energy. He's already slashed the regulation clause.

So it will make America incredibly competitive.

And the jobs are going to flow here, not in China and Japan, and all the other countries. It's a beautiful thing.

GLENN: We not only have to grow our bottom line, grow our way out of this. Which we can. But we also must cut. It will take I think 65 years at this point. At the speed of DOGE.

And they're cutting like crazy, to actually balance the budget.

Are we going to be able to cut enough?

Is there an appetite for that?

STEPHEN: Well, as I said, I've been in this town for 40 years. And Republicans talk a good game. But when it comes right down to it, we like to spend money just as much as Democrats do. I think, how about what Trump is talking about. About getting rid of all this crazy foreign aid programs. I mean, the left is hyperventilating about this. But those programs never work.

They don't -- they don't need any development. They just create a huge international bureaucracy of people who hate America.

I mean, this guy has -- has a spine of steel. I mean, he really does.

GLENN: He really does. He really does.

Steven, thank you so much. God bless you.

Keep us informed, will you?

STEPHEN: Check in more often.

GLENN: Yeah. I will. I will.

Thank you very much.

Stephen Moore, Committee to Unleash Prosperity.

I have to tell you, I think if he did 15-15-15, it would explode.

PAT: Which is 15 percent flat income tax. Fifteen percent corporate?

GLENN: Corporate. And 15 percent tariff.

PAT: Tariff. Wow.

GLENN: So you don't make it in America. You know how many people -- what's the company that bought Ford and Jaguar and everything?

Stellantis?

Can't remember the name of that company.
But they're now talking about coming back to America. Because of the tariffs. They're going to make the Jeep back in Detroit. They've already moved 1500 jobs back to a factory here in America. They're going to move them also back to Detroit. To make the Jeep back in America. That's what happens.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: If you have a tariff and you have 15 percent tax! This is why -- you know, it's fascinating. This is why, when we were headed towards that global government, this is why the president and all the leaders of the West, tried to get an agreement that there would be a minimum corporate tax. Do you remember that?

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And we were a part of that. A minimum corporate tax. No! No.

We're not going to play -- we're not going to hobble everybody.

If we can work it to our advantage, so we grow, why would we hobble ourselves?

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: And 15-15-15 would blow the world away. Blow it away.

PAT: Because far more competitive than any other industrialized nation.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

The jobs that would be created here.

You would get more money into the coffers of the United States government, because the prosperity would be so high! It would be amazing.

PAT: Yeah.

And to replace the progressive income tax with just a 15 percent flat tax. That -- that would make such a huge difference in American's lives.

GLENN: Think of just this. If we had a flat tax, think of how many dollars are wasted on IRS audits. How many -- how much time is wasted at places like H&R Block.

Your accountant. How much time you spend putting your taxes. Getting the receipts. Figuring it all out.

PAT: My gosh.

GLENN: Think of just the man-hours. Forget about the money that's being lost in preparing it! Just the man-hours.

If you had those man-hours back, what could we be doing with that money and those man-hours?

Just that is game-changing and growing the economy.

Because you have more money, to keep!

And more time to do what you want to do!

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: I'm telling you, if he can do 15-15-15, if he can pull that off, it's a new world.

PAT: And Stephen Moore said, it's a possibility. That's pretty amazing!

GLENN: That is amazing. That is amazing.
