It is a big day today, another massive primary day, Florida lots in the spotlight, in the free state of Florida, as we make the big news there today. You got the same thing happening in Florida. By the way, I've heard, through the grapevine, that the great state of Florida, free state of Florida, is the next target of this socialist revolution. So they're already starting to target some races, they're Democrats, they're progressives, and we'll keep an eye on that and the outcomes as polling comes back a little bit later on today as well.
The Mind Virus. Yesterday we talked about broken brains and why we're in the predicament we're in right now. John Leake with a new book, Mind Viruses, America's Irrational Obsessions coming up. We'll dig in to all of it, because it may explain your crazy aunt, your crazy uncle, the neighbor, who is just riddled with TDS, et cetera. That and breaking news coming up on The Glenn Beck Program today. Justin Barclay in for Glenn and we kick it all off right after this.

Well, he's going to drive people even more crazy today. The president with a post over on Truth Social this morning, and I believe it was this morning anyway, and it's Strait of Hormuz. And it looks like they've got it labeled as American territory, and of course, you know, this is driving people through the room. This is another one. New US territory is what it says, President Trump dropping it over on Truth Social, and then they get the Strait of Hormuz with a big circle around it, and it's a, look, if I don't, I will say this, we are more than 10 years in now. More than 10 years in, and people still don't understand, they still don't quite get what he is, who he is, and what he is doing. And they don't speak Trump, that's for sure, which is kind of, but it's kind of interesting. You would think they would have this together by now. In fact, yesterday, in the White House, you know, we gotta get to this too, cause this was a really, really cool moment. And a little bit later on in the show we will, but I'll tell you why he was there. We mentioned this yesterday, he was honoring the lifeguard who saved that little boy in the treacherous waters that day.
It was an incredible story. And again, a hero highlighted the service, spotlight on him, here he is. And you know, we need more of this, cause we need more good news. And we need to pat people on the back when they do the right thing. I think if you celebrate it, you're gonna get much more of it.
So pat this guy on the back, they bring him in as a first responder, and there's several others, in fact, as well, highlighting that service. Just an incredible moment inside the White, but you also got a little bit, cause the reporters get to ask the questions they wanna ask, you know. Speaking of transparency, he's had more, I, more probably in the first year than Biden did all four, maybe in the first few months of the answering questions, actually being there.
In fact, we've just learned, it just reminds me, I saw the other day, I think it was Tapper and a couple of these other folks who wrote that book about Biden and, and the, they did a podcast where they, I guess they talked about his schedule, Biden's schedule. He started the day at 10, ended it for something, he was out, he was gone. And the question was, who was really running things? Very fascinating conversation. That's not the case here, cause you always get access to the president. Here he is, talking about the Strait of Hormuz in this case.
