You WON’T BELIEVE the left’s latest charge against Trump

It’s no secret the left has been trying to destroy Donald Trump ever since he announced his White House candidacy years ago. The FBI raid on his home at Mar-a-Lago seemed to take things to a new level, but we may never know the answers if the INSANELY redacted affidavit released by the DOJ is any indication. But one thing IS clear: some Trump haters are going to new lengths to bring him down. In fact, the left’s latest charge against the former president is so ridiculous it's hard to believe. Glenn and Stu discuss Trump's apparent ‘unlawful storage,’ plus how his alleged misconduct doesn’t even COMPARE to that of a far-left favorite...

GLENN: Okay. So it's strange. I -- I heard a lot of talk this weekend, of people saying, did you see the -- did you see the Mar-a-Lago affidavit? And I said, no.

And they said, yeah. It was mainly, you know, it was all just black bars. I said, no. I saw that. I didn't see the affidavit. I saw all the black bars.

And there's something new now. The Department of Justice has redacted the reason for redacting the affidavit.

STU: Really?

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

STU: Seems appropriate.

GLENN: Yeah. The only thing they said, that wasn't redacted there, was agent safety.

Every other -- you know, agent safety. That's because the violent extremists on the right.

STU: Right.

GLENN: So Asian safety was not redacted. But every other reason for redacting, was redacted.

STU: So we have absolutely no idea what's in it. But also, no idea, why we can't see things. Right.

GLENN: Yeah. We don't know what's in it. And we also now don't know the reason why, we don't know what's in it.

STU: This is perfect. This is perfect.

GLENN: No, seriously, it's really good.

By the way, the New York Times now, demands criminal prosecution of Donald Trump. Uh-huh.

STU: Are we supposed to care about what the New York Times demands? I don't.

GLENN: No. Not at all. So let me give you this. This one is from, I think it's YouTube. Not YouTube.

Yahoo. There is little left for the Justice Department due, but to decide whether to wait until after the midterms to formerly seek the indictment of a grand jury, for Donald Trump.


STU: Hmm. This is --

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

STU: I heard -- I heard someone talking about this whole scandal earlier today. And the phrase they used. I mean this sincerely. The phrase they used, what they were going to charge him with was unlawful storage.

GLENN: Oh, man.

STU: Does anyone think this will have an impact? I'm fascinated by this.

GLENN: Unlawful storage. That is -- that is a death penalty sentence right there.

STU: Again, we're not talking about -- like, a guy getting access to documents he's not supposed to have access to, right? That's not what we're talking about. These are documents -- the man saw with his eyes, while he was president with the United States. So the issue here is, he should have put it in a better closet. He should have put it in a safe. He should have let it be stored at the archives. A storage conflict. This is what's going to take down Donald Trump. The guy who survived all of these other things. Unlawful storage is the thing. That's what they want us to believe today.

GLENN: Well, that's the way we took Al Capone down.

STU: Unlawful storage?

GLENN: Well, no. Tax evasion.

We couldn't get him on the other things, you know. The difference is that Al Capone was actually killing people. Donald Trump hasn't done anything. You just don't like him.

STU: Right. Can I run a couple of scenarios by you?

GLENN: Sure. Yeah.

STU: So I want to boil this down for a second. No one actually cares if Donald Trump has this document. I know it's a controversial thing to say.

GLENN: No. It's not. Maybe for the media.

STU: Maybe for the media. But no one actually cares. The man literally, we are supposed to believe, saw them, and that's why he has them, right?

GLENN: And, by the way, he didn't pack them up. The GEO did. The GEO did. So that's not him or his people.

STU: One of the few things we know about these documents. Is they were put in between newspaper clippings and everything else. And you could say -- so let's start at the bottom. He didn't do anything at all.

Obviously, that does not affect. What we're talking about here is not whether these documents affected the national security. It's just a matter of how it affects Donald Trump's future politics. That's all the story is about. It has nothing to do with whether or not he committed a crime or not. So maybe he did nothing wrong. Obviously, that's not I problem. Next step up, he was reckless -- he shouldn't have had the documents and had them. Right? Let's say he was reckless with the documents, okay?

GLENN: Like, what would be reckless? Like laying them out, putting them on the menu at Mar-a-Lago.

STU: Right. Exactly. Let's say. You're at Mar-a-Lago. Your kid is ordering a grilled cheese. He flips it over, it's supposed to be the maze. But instead, it's a nuclear document. That would be really reckless.

GLENN: Right. Or -- or I could get the ground beef, the sirloin, or the nuclear secrets.

STU: Right. Exactly. That would be bad.

GLENN: Right. Okay. Because then he would technically be selling them, Stu.

STU: If it's just a process argument about documents, there is no impact to our politics, right? The fact that he should have -- let's just say. Let's take the worst case. He should have gone through some other process of declassification or whatever. No one actually cares about that. At all.

It's not -- it's not going to impact our politics. Step it up. Was he reckless with them?

Let's say, like he legitimately put them in some closet, and did not lock the door, which is what they're saying.

GLENN: No. They came down. And asked him to put a lock on, and he did.

STU: And he did.

But I would ask you this: Go try to steal a drink at Mar-a-Lago. Would that be easy? This is the president of the United States' house. They act as if people could walk into any closet and start stealing boxes. This is not likely to occur. While you might say, hey, they should be in a highly classified environment. I get that.

GLENN: Well, look. Hang on. Hang on. I think you're doing too much work here.

STU: Let me give you the last two scenarios. This one I would say, let's just say, he handled them recklessly. I think in our politics, that could escalate to the point of the Hillary Clinton scandal, where the people on the one side of the argument, think it's the worst thing in the world. And the other side does not care at all. It could elevate to that level. The only thing that could actually make any difference to the story, would be if you had evidence, evidence of Donald Trump using these documents for his own personal benefit. I.e., he was selling them to get golf events, at his country clubs, which was actually tossed out there by the left.

GLENN: Wait. Wait. Wait. If Donald Trump -- and this could happen. It didn't with Donald Trump. But it could happen, in theory.

STU: In theory.

GLENN: If Donald Trump said to somebody else in the White House, I want you to go into the skiff. I want you to -- I want you to take pictures of those documents.

STU: Sure.

GLENN: Then cut the top of them off, so it doesn't say classified or top secret. And then email them to my home.

That would be bad.

STU: Right. And, of course, would be much, much, much more risky than having them in a closet. Anything online, anywhere, would be more risky than having it in Donald Trump's closet, even without a lock.

GLENN: Hey, how do you know it's not a virtual closet? Go ahead.

STU: We don't know. But if you had evidence, that let's say, he was taking documents, that were central to American security. That he was going to use to -- in a political ad, three weeks later, that he didn't decline. I don't know what the scenario would be. But if he found something like that, and found real evidence of that, maybe that would move the needle.

A process crime on documents is not moving -- this is a ridiculous controversy. And I swear the left just wants to talk about Donald Trump, because they think, that's going to help them in some way.

They want to -- they want to get in a fight with them. They want to make it about them versus Donald Trump again. They remember the good old days, back when they were winning midterm elections back in 2018.

They remember the good old days when CNN had eight people watching it.

They remember all these wonderful dreams. So they want to talk about it constantly. But what the hell is the point of this? Like, these are not documents that they stole. He didn't go into a bank vault, and steal documents he didn't see. He literally saw them.

GLENN: He's also the president, and he declassifies anything he wants, unlike the Secretary of State. Anyway, that's a different story. Let me ask you this question, okay?

Same kind of topic. Who do you believe? Who do you trust?

Apparently, a Ukrainian truck driver's daughter named Ina Jacoshovin.

STU: Are you a native speaker?

GLENN: That's the way you pronounce it. Jacoshovin.

STU: I could tell.

GLENN: Who allegedly posed as a Rothschild heiress to gain access to Mar-a-Lago and meet former President Donald Trump, is being accused now of the FBI of having ties to Russian organized crime.

Apparently, this woman, who lives in Ohio.
The FBI said, she was making trips to Mar-a-Lago, to get money from Donald Trump for a children's charity, which actually was a front for organized crime in Russia.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: So Donald Trump was writing checks to organized crime in Russia. Uh-huh.

STU: Does that --

GLENN: Now, she says, no.

Nothing like that. FBI says, yeah. Everything like that. My question is: Who do you believe? The woman you don't even know anything about, that could have been -- could have been masquerading as a Rothschild, and a Soviet spy.

Or the FBI.

STU: The fact that you have to ask that question is a problem with our institutions.

The ONLY Trump/Epstein Files Theories That Make Sense | Glenn TV | Ep 445

Is the case closed on Jeffrey Epstein and Russiagate? Maybe not. Glenn Beck pulls the thread on the story and its far-reaching implications that could expose a web of scandals and lead to a complete implosion of trust. Glenn lays out five theories that could explain Trump’s frustration over the Epstein files and why Glenn may never talk about the Epstein case again. Plus, Glenn connects the dots between the Russiagate hoax, the Hunter Biden laptop cover-up, and the Steele dossier related to the FBI’s new “grand conspiracy” probe. It all leads to one James Bond-like villain: former CIA Director John Brennan. Then, Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, tells Glenn why he believes his former boss Brennan belongs in prison and what must happen to prevent a full-blown trust implosion in American institutions.

Rumors explained: Is Fed Chair Jerome Powell OUT?!

After rumors spread that President Trump would soon fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, Trump has said that he's "not planning" on it right now. But is it possible for Trump to fire him? Will he resign? And how is the Fed Chair even chosen in the first place? Glenn and his head researcher Jason Buttrill explain ...

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Well, last night, I was rapidly looking the lie some of these rumors, on X.

Pretty incredible people on what's going on with Jerome Powell and the fed.

What the heck?

I was actually popping popcorn and watching this. It was so crazy.

GLENN: So it's just the rumors, that he is going to be stepping down?

JASON: Well, yeah.

Yeah. Anna Paulina Luna. Congresswoman. She was saying, it was almost imminent, that he was about to be fired. Actually fired.

There were other rumors saying, well, we're not sure about fired.

But he's considering resigning.

GLENN: Yeah. You know why.

JASON: We were like, what the heck is going on?

GLENN: So do you know why?

Do you know why he's resigning? Any guesses? I mean, you had popcorn out. I would love to hear what you have come up with.

JASON: So there was the CPI stuff coming out. The interest rates going up.

We know that the President wants interest rates to come down. I'm assuming that is what the deal is, and there's some sort of internal battle going on.

GLENN: Well, and the president can't fire the Fed chief. Okay?

So the Fed chief is the one that nominated. The federal reserve is the biggest crock of bullcrap I've ever seen in my life.

It's nothing, but the five biggest banks. Okay? And you know which ones they are. They're the ones that keep getting bigger. And everybody else is falling to the wayside.

So the Federal Reserve is the arm of those five banks.

Okay?

And they suggest, who the president can select from.

So the president can't say, I don't want any of these guys. I want this guy. Can't do it.

He has to take a look at the list that all the banks have put together. Is. Say, pick from this list, Mr. President.

Did you know that?

JASON: It's kind of how Iran chooses their next president.

GLENN: It's exactly. It's exactly that way. Except, this religion is all about the almighty dollar.

Okay. So he can't -- he can't pick on his own. But the president has a right to pick one, you know, every term. If it comes up in his term.

The president wants this guy out. And I think he's been really, really bad.

Because he's been wrong on almost -- on almost everything. But show me the -- show me the Fed, you know, the guy who the Fed was right ever.

So he can't fire him. But he wants him out. Because he wants interest rates dropped.

And, you know, the jobs are coming back. Things are coming back.

But interest rates keep coming up.

And the -- and the interest rates, if we keep our interest rates high, we have a harder time borrowing money for our debt.

And it just gets more and more expensive for everybody all along. So the president wants him to back off interest rates. But the Fed chief believes that that could cause more inflation.

Which I think he's right on that one. And I hate to say he was right on anything.

Because I don't think he was ever right.

Makes me question myself. When he's like, well, I think he might have a point on that one. But the president is like, no. He can handle it.

I want them down. I want cheap money again.

He refuses. So what has the president done?

The president can only fire him, with cause!

So what do you do when you can only fire somebody with cause, and you want them out.

You find a cause, and this one is easy.

So the Fed has been the one leading the way saying, we can't keep borrowing money.

We've got to have some fiscal sanity. Right?

This is going to kill us. We have to keep these interest rates high, because you are borrowing too much money. And maybe this is the only way to stop you.

So we got to keep it high, because you've borrowed too much money. And how many times has he testified in front of Congress? We've got to cut. We've got to cut. You can't keep spending like this.

Okay? Well, did you know that the Federal Reserve, with our tax dollars, the five biggest banks, a/k/a the Federal Reserve, is redoing their offices. To the tune of two billion dollars!

Now, I don't know what kind of wallpaper they need there.

But that seems like a pretty hefty renovation, especially when everybody is looking at cutting things. And you're lecturing me about spending money. So they get money from the government, okay? They're telling us, stop spending.
Stop borrowing.

Except, okay. What you've borrowed. I need $2 billion of that, to redo our offices in Washington, DC.

Excuse me?

Why don't you do that yourself. Okay. I think banks maybe have some money.

So they're borrowing that money, and there's $700 million over.

So it's $2 billion. $700 million over budget. And they're still not finished.

And the problem is: They're putting in water features.

They have a rooftop garden they're building.

JASON: Okay.

GLENN: I mean, it is -- it's insane. The president now knows, really? You want to play this game with me. I will sit your ass down in front of Congress, and you answer to the American people, how you're lecturing us about spending. And you're putting in a rooftop garden and a water feature in your office. No! No.

So the president is now threatening, I'll fire you for this. You want to quit, now would be the time to quit.

Otherwise, I'm dragging your butt in front of Congress.

You answer to the American people for this. And they will beg me to fire you.

That's what's happening.

JASON: I looked at that a lot.

Because I was like. There's got to be some leverage that the president had, because they can't get rid of.

But that is a pretty big cut. That sounds like a Babylon Bee article. $2 billion.

GLENN: It does. It does. $2 billion, 700 million over budget.

JASON: Oh, my gosh.

GLENN: I mean, and these are the responsible bankers. No, I don't think so.

It just shows, they don't mean what they say. They'll just keep doing it for themselves. You know, if you really believed that America was really on that financial cliff, why would you do that?

You would lead the way and say, guys, we are going to be the only responsible ones here.

We will lead by example.

No renovation. You know what, go to IKEA?

You need a new desk. Go to IKEA, and get a new desk. Well, we have to keep up our image. We're not going to have a country.

So what do you say, we go to IKEA?

Our image should be, we are going to lead the way out of this madness!

That's what a leader would do.

JASON: So, Glenn, I still don't think I get this disconnect between Trump and Powell on -- we know Trump wants to lower interest rates.

Powell is standing back and saying, basically, he doesn't want to do it.

Is he trying to undermine President Trump on this?

GLENN: President Trump thinks so. President Trump thinks so.

I think so, to some degree.

I mean, I'm worried about inflation.

Look, you know what happened. Do you know what's happening with yap?

JASON: What's happening with Japan?

GLENN: So what's happening with Japan, is Japan has always had this really amazing image of, we're solid. We're absolutely solid.

This is target to crack. The foundation.

1989.

Let me go back to 1989.

This was the crown jury trial of the global economy.

Back in 1989, you probably aren't old enough to remember.

All of a sudden, Japan owned everything in America. We were just becoming Japanese, and everything was being purchased by Japan. Kind of like it feels a little bit like China now.

JASON: They even owned Nakatomi Plaza, Glenn, that Bruce Willis had to save -- they owned everything in every '80s movie!

GLENN: Oh, yeah, they owned absolutely everything.

Okay? And the -- things were so insane in Japan. The grounds of the imperial palace, in Tokyo, on paper was worth more than the entire value of the state of California.


JASON: Wow!

GLENN: Okay?

So their land. Everything just shot up. And so they had all of -- they were flush with all this cash.

And people believed that Japan had suddenly, you know, cracked the formula for, you know, eternal prosperity.

That's the problem. Then it all started to fall apart. And the asset prices. That they had mortgaged against.

Okay?

They had borrowed. Well, the imperial palace was worth more than California.

That doesn't make any sense. You wouldn't mortgage it like that. At least long-term. I will do this real quick, and pay it off.

You would never, ever mortgage, because you know that's inane. Well, nobody ever wanted -- and it seems in governments, nobody ever wants to believe that this is just a fluke. Okay?

So the asset prices collapse. The stock markets plunged. And for three decades, they have gone into this very polite political coma.

Okay? Economic coma. And so the central bank did something radical. They were the first ones to set your interest rate at zero. They lowered the interest rate. They made money so cheap, it was nearly free. Zero percent interest. Sometimes, they would pay you to take out money.

So the -- they had negative interest rates. Can you imagine that? Now, you're not fixing the problem. You're just printing wallpaper to cover the mold. All right?

So they've done this for decades.

Now their debt is I think 260. Or 280 percent of their GDP.

I think, what is ours?

100?

80 percent.

Something crazy. 120. You never believe back.

The death threshold is usually 120, 140.

They're 260 percent of their entire economy is debt.

That's not a crack. That's a fault line.

So this week. Or was it last week? Things started to creek and grown in Japan.

And the government bonds, which are like our treasuries. Is this getting too complex.

Are you following this still?

JASON: Yeah.

GLENN: Okay. So their government bonds.

They were the safest investments on earth.

One of them. Okay?

It's us. Japan, Germany.

They started to fall.

Hard. And when bond prices fall, interest rates were the easily go up.

All right?

So they borrow all this money.

260 percent of their GDP is borrowed. Okay?

So they borrowed all of that money. And they had it at like 3 percent interest. Whatever.

2 percent interest.

And they were paying people.

2 percent.

Well, all of a sudden, the cracks started to appear. And people were like, I'm not sure this is stable at all.

And then the belief of the system started to -- to go away. So people started selling their Japanese bonds.

Once they do that, now the yields have to go up.

What happens when yields go up?

What happens when interest rates go up? For a government. You have to pay more interest on your debt!

Okay?

You add two or three points.

Just imagine, you have an adjustable rate. Okay?

This is a government having an adjustable rate. Except, they have 260 percent of everything they make, in debt!

And it's all leveraged.

And now, their adjustable goes up two, three, four points.

You're not able to afford that anymore, okay?

So massive problem.

Because what it really means is. People don't believe in Japan.

They know the con game is now over.

And investors are saying, you know, I want a whole lot more in return.

Because I just don't believe you anymore.

And it's not just Japan's problem. This is not a neighbor's house on fair.

This is -- imagine we're all living under the same roof. This is the neighbor's apartment, on fire.

We're all under the same roof. We all have the same foundation. And so when this happens to Japan, you should pay attention. And I'll show you the ripple effects in just a second.

GLENN: Okay. So now if Japan -- that means there's a stampede out of Japan.

And people are starting to look and reprice the risk of their money.

Now they're like, wait a minute.

The most stable. You know, if you're driving a car and it is the safest car in the world and all of a sudden, they just start blowing up on the highway.

You're like, I don't think that's the most -- that's the safest car on the highway.

And if that's the safest car, what does it mean for the car I'm in?

You know what I mean? So now, this is going to push US interest rates going up.

Which makes our mortgage rates go can up. And our car loans more expensive. And the national debt. Which is already costing us $1.2 trillion a year, just in interest.

Now, they can't sell their treasuries. People are skittish on treasuries. Maybe they come to the United States, but they're not so far.

They're getting out of the Japanese interest. Or the bonds there.

Japan has to pay their bills.

What do you do when you have to pay a bill?

And you don't have any money coming in.

You don't have enough money coming in. What do you do?

You sell something. Right? You sell your car. You sell something that you have of value.

Well, what do they have? What do they hold of value? US Treasuries.

So now, we are trying to sell our bonds, for our new debt, they hold our old debt.

They're saying, hey. Anybody want to buy this debt? Because I have to sell it. Fire sale. What do you give me for it?

Okay?

Which makes that debt more attractive, because they can get a better deal there.

Which means, if we want to have new debt, we have to raise our interest rates. Which means, we pay more for interest for our mortgages and everything else.

And it floods the market with bonds, crushing the prices, skyrocketing the costs for us.
And causing even more trouble, in other countries, that have US bonds. Because they start to look and go, nobody is buying these bonds.

Well, of course not. You have two countries. The two stablest countries besides Germany.

You have the two stablest countries now selling US Treasury bonds.

Okay? Really, really bad.

Now, let me add this on.

Germany is now having to pay for their own army.

And so they said, they're going to borrow money.

To build the army.

And they're going to lower their interest rate. So they can borrow more money. All right?

And now, the German bund, which is -- you know, like our Treasury. That's now starting to fall apart.

Well, Germany has some assets, they can sell.

What do you think that asset might be that they want to sell?

US treasuries.

We have been playing an extraordinarily horrible game.

This is why I believe the president wants somebody else in charge of the Fed, because the Fed can say, we're lowering the interest rates.

Because he's got to get more money into the system. So people can spend money, can start businesses. Borrow money.

Get things moving, so we can increase the amount of taxes that we collect.

The more people money -- the more people make, the more taxes we collect.

So he's like, we've got to grow the economy. And the only way we can grow the economy is to lower the interest rates.

But at the same time, interest rates around the world because of what's happening with the bonds is going through the roof.

We are in a very -- we've never been in this position before.

Why the Term "Conspiracy Theory" is CIA-Created Weapon for Control

Conspiracies are of course real and occur every single day. But yet, many in the media and elite political circles attempt to use the term "conspiracy theory" to smear and discredit those who are skeptical of conventional narratives. Where did this term come from and how should we understand it? Journalist Alex Newman joins Glenn Beck to break this down and how it impacts the world as we see it today.
