The Left has preached against the Pentagon for years but suddenly disagrees when Trump calls for cuts. Glenn and Stu debate who possibly may be on the Epstein list. Will leftists acknowledge their loss and make the necessary adjustments, or will they double down on their crazy ideologies? Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers (D) has decided to double down in a new bill where the word "mother" was changed to "inseminated person." Wonder Project chief content officer Jon Erwin joins to discuss his newest project on Amazon Prime, "House of David," which tells the story of one of history's greatest kings.

Chapter 1: What are the top stories and updates from the weekend?
Hey, we have a rapid fire recap of the top stories from the weekend and some perspective on all that. Also, pull up a chair because Uncle Glenn has a new children's story for the folks and the governor of Wisconsin. Also, John Irwin of the Irwin Brothers joins us to talk about a new Hollywood venture. And believe it or not, it's good.
And he's got the control of the stories he'll be telling with Amazon. Another chalk, another win up for the right. All this and so much more on today's podcast. Let me tell you about pre-born. Abortion is a tragic part of our lives as Americans and the rest of the world. Even after the overturning of Roe versus Wade, it continues to rob children of the right to live.
In fact, what's more devastating is that a majority of women who get abortions say they would have chosen life if they just had some simple support. Now you have the abortion pill, and abortions are going through the roof. Preborn's network of clinics saves 200 babies every day by offering free ultrasounds to expecting moms, doubling that baby's chance that the mom will choose life.
You could make a difference between the life and death of so many babies. As abortion continues to rise, Preborn is expanding their life-affirming care in the darkest corners of our nation to help more hurting women and save more babies. If you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way?
If you put $15,000 into all tax deductible, it'll place a machine, an ultrasound machine, in a needy women's center, saving countless lives for years to come. To donate, dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby. It doesn't have to be 15,000. It could be $15. It could be 15 cents. Every penny helps. That's pound 250, keyword baby. Or donate securely at preborn.com slash Beck.

A single heartbeat can echo across generations. Preborn. Sponsored by Preborn.
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
All right. Let me just give you the news as I see it. What happened over the weekend of February 15th and 16th. What happened this weekend, I think, is liberty, justice and the truth breaking free. So let's dive in here. Kash Patel is taking the FBI helm. His first full official day is today. He was sworn in as FBI director with the hand on the Gita, a pledge to uphold his constitution.
It's not a bureaucratic shuffle. It is a shot across the bow of the weaponized deep state. This one makes all the difference in the world. Cash. is making people in Washington sweat, and he should. Patel has vowed to root out corruption, left, right, or center, and the whispers of the Epstein client list that he told me over the summer was in a safe behind the desk of the director of the FBI.

Chapter 2: How does the abortion debate continue post-Roe v. Wade?
Zelensky says he's not going to give the United States anything unless, I mean, he'll retire if, if Ukraine's allowed to join NATO. Isn't this where we started this whole thing in the first place? Germany's election, if we have time today, I want to talk about that. They had a snap election campaign that went on the far right. AFD is on the rise.
That's because Vance was stirring the pot, you know, in Munich. That's what happened. Vance was meddling. Now, you know, what we did is we cut all those USAID programs that were actually meddling in everybody's elections around the world. We decided we shouldn't do that. We should let the people of those countries decide themselves. Yeah, you want to talk about a danger to democracy?
Stop meddling in people's elections, right? Am I right? Their vote was held yesterday, and the fallout is Germany's to handle. We'll watch. We'll not wait in, hopefully. I mean, unless it starts to hit our shores. It's not our business. Stateside, we have bigger fish to fry, but there are some things that if I have time, we need to talk about on that. And Elon Musk is pushing for AI innovation.
The Doge crew cheered California's AI safety veto this weekend. Less red tape, more breakthroughs. At the same time, he just came out and said, we are at the event horizon of the singularity. Oh, big deal. What are the price of eggs? Um... I don't know, but we might have robot chickens that eat us soon if you don't pay attention to the singularity. We'll talk about that coming up next hour.
And the FCC has called out CBS, their bias. The FCC zeroed in on CBS this weekend, probes into news distortion, hinting at real consequences. Fascist! This is not censorship. This is about accountability. Now, hear me out on this. Should stations be able to lie? Well, no. But notice I said stations, not outlets.
When you have a license from the United States government, you're in bed with the United States government. I know I've done this my whole life. I had to get an FCC third phone. I'm a third phone license holder. I'll tell you that. I don't even know what that means, but I've got one. I had to take a test for it. Yeah, 13 years old. I'm at the FCC taking a test for my third phone license.
I promptly lost that license. I mean, I still have it. I lost it, kind of like I lose my driver's license all the time. But if you want to lose a license, what you have to do as a local broadcaster is to break FCC rules. You see, local CBS stations have to have a license through the FCC, right? They serve the local community.
Now, perhaps in New York and San Francisco, those people believe in their local community that lying to the American people and changing interviews to be able to make one politician look better than the other in a newscast is a public service. I mean, we can't have people knowing what they really believe and what they're really like. We need them to win as a public service.
But I can't imagine all the red states and red cities feel that that was a public service from CBS News. My question is, have you written a letter to your local CBS affiliate? You see any complaint letters where somebody writes in from the local community and says, I think this was wrong and I hope the FCC investigates you and I've CC'd the FCC. Too many C's for me to even follow.

Chapter 3: What changes are happening at the FBI and who is Kash Patel?
John Irwin, House of David, he's the executive producer, co-director, and it airs beginning, I believe he said, on Thursday on Amazon Prime. It is called House of David. It is a new series that begins that is really good.
