DeepSummary
The podcast starts with Glenn Beck and Stu discussing a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, which they claim has been misinterpreted by President Biden and Democrats as giving the president unchecked power. They assert that the ruling still limits the president's actions to constitutional boundaries.
Jonathan Turley, a constitutional law professor, is interviewed about the left's systematic efforts to undermine free speech, particularly in academia where dissenting voices are often silenced. He discusses how universities have purged conservative and libertarian faculty, creating an environment of fear for those with differing viewpoints.
Beck then tells the story of Edith Wilson, the wife of President Woodrow Wilson, who essentially took over the presidency for 17 months after Wilson suffered a stroke. Beck draws parallels between Edith Wilson's actions and speculation that Jill Biden may be negotiating protections and benefits for the Biden family in exchange for Joe Biden's potential resignation.

Top Episodes Quotes
- “She wrote the little notes, and then she would go back and she would say, this is what he wants to do. At one point, I think I'm probably wrong. You have to look this up. I think it was, the treasury secretary is one of the secretaries, somebody in the cabinet. And they ordered a cabinet meeting to come together and didn't alert her. She fired him. Imagine the wife of the bread. She blamed it on Woodrow, but he wasn't. He wasn't around. He couldn't understand it.“ by Glenn Beck
