Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.
I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.
He's going the distance.
He was the highest paid TV star of all time.
When it started to change, it was quick.
He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.
Now, Charlie's sober.
He's gonna tell you the truth.
How do I present this with a class?
I think we're past that, Charlie.
We're past that, yeah.
Somebody call action.
Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.
My family and I, we are preparing.
We're just preparing for, you know, anything from a blip to a major catastrophe.
We want to make sure that my family is ready.
And
that just doesn't mean my family.
That means sharing it with as many people as we know.
It's why I really like the fact that we do Jace Medical and I represent them.
Jace Medical is
a,
I don't know exactly what you would call them, but they're kind of like your pharmacy.
They're able to give you different
antibiotics.
They're able to give you with a prescription.
They're able to ship things out to you a year in advance.
So you can have a year's worth of your medicine, you know, be that heart medicine or whatever, they're expanding every single day with new medicines.
But you can have those things in your home.
So if things break down, you're you're ready.
You can start with a Jace case, which is just five different antibiotics in case there's an emergency or you're on vacation and you don't want to go to the doctor.
You can just call the doctor at home and say, hey, this is the symptom.
And they'll say,
take a flight of antibiotics.
You have them.

Welcome to the fusion

and enlightenment.
This is the Glen Beck Program.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glen Beck program.
I want to talk to you about the memory hole.
You even know what the memory hole is going down the memory hole.
Do you know what that is?
Where that came from?
And how are we using it?
And
what is the best way to defend against it?
We'll tell you in 60 seconds.
First, one of the things I love best about Patriot Mobile is they let you know right up front who they are.
Let me give you an example of what I mean.
If you're with Verizon, you might be unaware that they donate to Planned Parenthood.
Okay.
All right.
I didn't know that for a very long time.
Would you consider switching away from Verizon now?
Switch to Patriot Mobile.
They're America's only Christian conservative mobile company.
Their mission is to passionately defend their God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always.
They stand for our First Amendment, our Second Amendment, third, fourth, fifth.
Oh, you know, I think they're pretty down with pretty much all of the amendments, at least the top 10.
They offer affordable, excellent plans.
Their 100% U.S.-based customer service team is going to help make switching easy for you, whether you're keeping your number, your phone, or upgrading one, or both.
They're in the fight with us.

I'm going to talk about a few things.
How everything is changing, how the media is being used to change things,
and this insane attack on Elon Musk.
Memory is really kind of important.
It's more than a record.
It's more than the sum total of our experiences, the chronicle of our lives,
more than a tally of good and bad lessons learned, although it is those things as well.
But fundamentally, our memory is the key to who we are.
Entities which lose their memory, people, groups, churches, nations, lose not just the mere knowledge of their past,
of who they were or have been,
but they also lose the knowledge of themselves, the knowledge of their purpose, of who they are, who they're meant to be.
They lose the present and the future.
Remember when you were a kid, it seemed like everybody on TV suffered from amnesia at some point.
I thought amnesia would play a big role in life.
No, it doesn't.
It's like Gilligan's Island in the quicksand.
I've never run into quicksand ever before.
And I've never had amnesia.
Although some days I'd like to have amnesia, but
we are memory-holing things.
What is the memory hole?
The memory hole was
in the, I think it was the Ministry of Love,
where you were taught to hate and
the Ministry of Truth.
where you were taught what lies were
and you were forced to do it in 1984.
Memory hole was
a door in every room where people were being taught the truth.
And you'd open up the
little door and you'd take whatever the truth was, all of the photos, the documents, and you'd throw them in the memory hole.
And at the bottom of the memory hole was a fiery furnace.
And so it would burn up all the record, and it was in the memory hole.
You don't retrieve that in the memory hole.
It's gone.
When you lose the knowledge of yourself, the knowledge of your purpose, what you were meant to be,
you are truly lost.
Think of any movie or series that starts with a hero waking up to find their memory gone.
Their fundamental character traits may remain,
but they're unmoored.
Not only unable to recognize family from strangers, but without knowledge of who they are and what that means and how they should act next.
All of a sudden, somebody throws a blow and they're like,
and they're able to just take on anybody.
Whoa,
what kind of man am I?
Am I a killer?
They don't know.
It leaves leaves people open to manipulation, to being reprogrammed with lies, by whatever bad actor wants to use them for their own purposes.
Have you seen Argyle yet?
It's exactly what I'm talking about.
This is also true for societies.
If we forget our stories, if we stop telling them, or allow others to edit them to suit their purposes, we lose them,
Forget both who we are and who we can and should be, and we leave ourselves open to anyone with an alternate story to tell.
This is what's happened to religion, Christianity.
We stopped reading the Bible, and so now we're listening to scientists and atheists and people who are saying, live for the day, man.
What's wrong?
What's wrong with that?
I mean, okay,
so,
you know, O.J.
Simpson killed the ice cream guy.
What's the problem?
He was just living his life on his terms.
There is a problem.
We forget who we are, who we serve,
and we leave ourselves open.
Now, this is the open intent of the 1619 Project and Howard Zinn.
It's the logic behind the many reimagining policies behind the words of Michelle Obama.
Iraq knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices.
We are going to have to change our conversation.
We're going to have to change our traditions, our history.
We're going to have to move into a different place as a nation to provide the kind of future that we all want.
This is the trade of every post-modern, post-Western, post-Zionist, post-monotheistic, radical, atheist, thinker, Marxist,
or leader.
Just forget the stories of our founding and our purpose.
Remember who you are.
Simba, remember who you are.
Well, it seems kind of important that Simba remembers his roots.
Why is it not so important for us?
These stories that tell us why we're here and what we're here to do.
We have new stories for you.
Stories that will tell us we're all born in sin, that we're all irredeemably evil,
that we should be torn down forever because then we can go ahead and do so.
It's always the same.
First, the old memories are torn apart, the old stories.
They have to be denied, delegitimized, erased.
And then the new, more suitable, enlightened ones can replace them.
Some, including maybe
many on the left, truly believe the old stories are garbage, but they haven't done their homework.
They truly believe the new stories are true, but they often openly believe that
they believe this all while denying the foundation of the old stories.
Still,
they can enjoy the fruits of what's built on that foundation, the material and moral benefits that they take for granted and are currently destroying, because it's all they've ever known.
But cut flowers are not life.
What happens?
You cut a flower and they fade, wilt, and die.
They're a silent memory of what was and what could have been.
To misquote Patrick Rothfrost, all around them hangs the cut flower silence of a beauty of a culture waiting to die.
They don't produce any seeds.
There's no next generation of flowers.
When they fade, only rot will remain.
What was will be no more.
We are cutting the flowers of our future.
The ultimate responsibility and possibly the solution is found with us.
This only happens if we allow someone to cut us from the root.
We must tell our stories.
We must tell the truth.
We must tell the stories of our own lives, of our families.
Do you know why our families are so broken?
Because we don't know where we came from.
And I don't mean as a people.
I mean as individuals.
We don't know the stories of how we got here.
We're all immigrants.
That's what everybody says.
We're all immigrants.
But how many of us know who brought the family here?
Why they brought the family here?
What it cost them?
We should do this on every available occasion.
Family meals, trips, dates, nights out with friends.
Honestly, because of everybody having a phone, we're losing them at a faster rate now.
I remember sitting at the table, having to sit at the table while everybody was talking and all the holidays and everything else.
And you would look at your sister or your brother and be like if i have to hear this one more time
you'd hear the same stories over and over again yes and that's why you know them are they happening in your family
quintessentially that's what holidays and rituals are for christmas displays and hanukkah's menorahs If it's done right, they tell a story.
If in the telling, the story grows in some ways, acquiring new depth, new focus, more profound meaning, all the better.
If it accumulates anecdotes, commentary, interpretations,
it becomes richer,
turns more and more from an account of something that happened into a story, something rich with meaning and lessons, as well as deeds and facts.
Our holidays,
4th of July.
What is it?
We don't even call it Independence Day.
We call it 4th of July.
It's about what?
Barbecues?
Maybe fireworks?
Getting sunburned?
Those are important.
But how many of us are telling the story?
I know it's awkward and weird at first.
This is the week of Passover.
This is what Passover is all about.
The Seder night
is exactly what we need to be doing.
The entire purpose of that is to tell the story, to discuss it, so it and its lessons can be carried on alive for another generation.
And it's been working for the Jews for about 3,000 years.
So
as Christmas and Easter has kind of done with Christians, but that's going away.
Fourth of July is going away.
Everything in our society is pushing our kids away from the stories, which means away from the truth of who they are,
where they came from, why we're here as a people.
Well, I'm here because I'm, you know,
I'm going to be be famous on
TikTok.
Oh,
that's why you were born?
Okay, okay.
Perhaps more effort on the storytelling rather than the grilling could help us with some of the holidays like Independence Day
and with other stories we dare not forget.
Memory requires a conscious effort, a choice, a ritual.
It requires that a story be told over and over and over again.
Do you notice that there is a story being told now to Americans, about Americans, to the world?
And it's being told over and over and over again.
And look how quickly, because we have a void in our own homes, look how quickly everything's being lost.
The first thing we have to do is know the truth and then stand up for the truth.
Stand up to say, yo, you have no right to memory hole an event.
I'm going to show you what's happening with Elon Musk and a
story trying to be memory-hold.
And it's an important story.
It teaches so much.
We'll go there in 60 seconds first.
Car shield.
So you can hang a pair of fuzzy dice on the mirror on your car and hope that it brings you luck.
Maybe a rabbit's foot in the glove compartment, a four-leaf clover in the trunk, and maybe dump some lucky charms in the gas tank.

At the end of the day, your car is going to break down.

So there was an event that happened in Australia,
and
a Muslim came into a church where a
Greek Orthodox
priest, his name is Mar Mari, Bishop Mar Mari, was preaching, and and
somebody tried to stab him.
Now here's the video
of that stabbing because it was caught during the middle of a service.
So he's just
blessing the sacrament or whatever he was doing at the time.
He's looking down at the altar and
an Arab man comes up with a knife and stabs him in the head repeatedly until he is held.
Now
this bishop is okay.
He was in the hospital.
He immediately forgave the attacker, very Pope John, John Paul.
He said, I forgive this young man.
I do not harbor any hate.
Yada, yada, I love and pray for him.
Okay.
Now that video
was caught by the church on tape
and
nobody wants it to be seen.
When I say nobody wants it to be seen, I'm saying the government doesn't want it to be seen.
So they told Facebook and everybody else, memory hole this.
The reason why they didn't want it to be seen is because it was an Arab, a Muslim, attacking a Christian.
Now, this is an Iraqi Christian, by the way,
and they don't want that seen.
So they told everybody to drop it, but X would not drop the video because it's true.
It happened.
Here is the Prime Minister speaking out against Elon Musk for not taking that video down.
Listen.
This isn't about freedom of speech and most Australians of course overwhelmingly would never think about posting the sort of material that would cause damage and to what end?
This is an egotist.
He is someone who's totally out of touch with the values that Australian families have and this is causing great distress.
I think it is causing damage to his his own brand of Twitter, which has now become X.
He clearly sees this as a vanity project for himself rather than about the people who are consumers
on this platform.
That's kind of an interesting take, isn't it?
The politicians don't want to say what kind of damage it's doing.
What it's doing is showing Islamic extremism.
That's what it's doing.
They don't want that to be seen.
They have to deny that.
Why?
To protect Islamic extremists?
So they accuse Elon Musk.
This is a vanity project.
But they go on much further from there.
When we come back, I'm going to show you the other part of this story that no one seems to be talking about.
Maybe perhaps another reason why
the government doesn't want this video to be seen.
We'll do that coming up.
Glenn Beck.
The American public is getting a raw deal at the hands of its elected government.
It is time that
somebody stands up.
Every time a member of the Biden administration steps into a press conference and tells you the economy is improving, they are lying.
They might as well just stab you in the back because they are devaluing the dollar.
The value of your dollar is dropping by the day, and it is only a matter of time, less and less time, before the bottom completely drops out of the economy.
So what are you and your family doing to prepare for that?
Please do not listen to the so-called experts.
When was the last time they told you the truth?
Are you building protections around your asset just in case what I'm telling you happens to be right?
May I recommend you look into
precious metals.
Lear Capital can help you with this.
Please get your free wealth protection guide.
Read up all about it.
Decide if this is right for you, but call them.
The number is 800-957-GOL.
800-957-GOLD.
Do it now.
More on the bishop in Australia.
What is it the media doesn't want you to really know?
Next.
Hello, America.
I'm going over a story that most people don't know here in America, probably don't really, you know, think it's important, but it is vital that you understand the story of Bishop Marmari.
Bishop Marmari, and let's play the video again.
Bishop Marmari is
a Greek Orthodox bishop in Australia, and he was performing Mass,
and in the middle of Mass, a man walked up, an Arab Muslim man, walked up,
and
stabbed him in the face repeatedly until the congregants could pull him off.
Now,
this obviously is causing some problems because yet
another
Muslim extremist that cannot live within the framework of the West.
Well,
the
prime minister came out because Zuckerberg and Google and everybody else would take that video down.
Now, why do they want to take that video down?
Well, they say it's causing, you know, an unrest.
With whom?
With whom?
Or is it telling the truth about what is going on with Islamic extremists?
Look what's happening in our own society.
So they're trying to get everybody to take it off, take that video down.
And Elon Musk wouldn't.
Just the same way he wouldn't play ball with the government censoring people, not him, people,
censoring people
in Brazil, now Australia.
Here is Jackie Lamb.
She's,
you know, in parliament over in Aust, or she's a senator in Australia, and she's talking about Elon Musk.
Elon Musk has no social conscience or conscience whatsoever.
I don't know whatever Elon Musk is on, it says that that's okay to continue to air that is absolutely disgusting behaviour.
And quite frankly, the bloker should be jailed.
And the sooner that we can bring rules in or do something about this sort of
game playing with our social media, the better off we're going to be.
But quite frankly, the power that that man has because of that platform that he's on it's got to stop it has absolutely got to stop the power that that man has has got to stop because of these games with our social media platforms have you noticed you've never heard that said
about
zuckerberg you've never heard that said about Google, except from conservatives.
You don't ever hear them,
anyone, ever,
as a government stand up and say, it's got to be stopped.
They're doing everything they can to destroy Elon Musk.
In fact, Elon Musk is becoming very, very Trump-like in the attacks.
He is being attacked on all fronts, and he's being attacked by all the world governments.
Europe is after him.
America is after him.
Brazil is after him.
Australia is after him.
It's interesting.
Why?
Well, I would say for the same reasons they're after Donald Trump.
They've got to put him in jail.
Why?
They have to discredit him.
Why?
Because he cannot have power.
Why?
It has nothing to do with his tweets.
It has everything to do with
him not being in the club and down with their little plan.
Their plan is the great reset.
Their plan is a global government.
And Donald Trump doesn't believe in a global government.
He's taken us out of the WHO.
He wants to take us out of the UN.
NATO,
he doesn't believe in their cute little plan.
And so he must be destroyed.
When he took us out of the Paris Accords, that should have told us everything we needed to know.
He's an enemy of the state because of his one idea, that America needs to concentrate on America first,
then help other people.
That can't be done.
He's also hated, and so is Elon Musk, for
the ideas that they hold.
Elon Elon Musk believes in the individual.
Elon Musk believes in the power of the platform for the individual, that all voices should be heard.
And the power that people have with an open platform is a good thing in the end.
But they both have one thing against the governments have one thing against both of these people, Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and that is their power to expose.
That's what's going on here.
So, what is it that Elon Musk is exposing in Australia?
You would say that maybe
it is
the exposing of
Islamic terror, and that is true.
But also,
you don't want people to really feel sympathetic towards Bishop Marmari.
You don't want the world to look up what he says.
For example,
here he's talking about
Christians have become cowards.
Listen.
I am the head of the church, and I'm a coward.
What's the point?
I need real men for the Lord Jesus.
Men that do not fear.
Men that will stand in the face of evil.
Not being sold
for 30 pieces of silver,
yet calling themselves leaders.
The Lord Jesus is a warrior, the warrior.
But unfortunately the 21st century Christians are weak,
very weak.
They sold their master for money
because of so-called corona nonsense, the biggest lie in the 21st century.
Corona, what corona?
Corona was a car, then it came a Corolla, then Lexis.
All lied.
From the highest to the lowest.
all leaders,
secular world and church and religious world, all lied.
All
lied.
Anthony Fauci lied.
The World Health Organization lied.
FDA lied.
TGA lied.
All of them.
All.
This virus is dangerous, it will kill you and kill your family.
Just get alive, man.
You're going to hell.
You're going to hell if you don't repent.
You're going to hell.
Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Gates,
Prince Philip, Andrew, whatever his name is,
the Hollywood.
And a lot of leaders, a lot of leaders, a lot of leaders are involved in this.
Oh, my goodness.
What a sick, sick, sick, sick, and filthy minds.
And then the church leaders come out and say, you need to adhere to the governments because they are from God.
They are from Satan, not from God.
And now they want to take away the freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
I can't talk about LGBTQ RSTUV, what's it?
They can come and invade, but I can't defend.
And they say we are democracy.
Evildoers.
Shame on them.
Hmm.
This story changes a bit, doesn't it?
They want to make sure that the stabbing of this man
by an Islamic radical is not seen.
And we think it's because, well, he's a Islamic radical.
I thought that's what this story was when I first looked in it too.
And then I decided, who is this bishop?
What does he say?
What does he believe?
What is he preaching from the pulpit?
He is preaching truth.
What Elon Musk is exposing is the truth.
It's on video.
You can see it.
It's history.
We're memory holing history.
Why?
For political correctness?
No.
For agenda.
And it's a two-for-one deal.
We can also get this story to go away and memory hole what actually happened to this bishop, and maybe the world won't actually listen to this man either.
We don't want them to be sympathetic or even curious as to who Bishop Mar Mari is
and what he believes and what he is saying
because he's calling for men,
men of courage.
The Lord needs men
to stand up,
square your shoulders,
and say, These things are true, and these things are lies, and I will not participate in lies.
No more.
Seems like just about everyone's an expert these days.
Yeah, you get your real estate license.
Yeah, from School Hard Knocks.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I thought.
Since this whole buying and selling homes thing is a little dicey, maybe I'll try to find an actual expert.
And that's what I was thinking years ago when I started my company, Real Estate Agents I Trust.
Because after a lot of searching, I didn't find the experts.
I didn't know even how to search.
I didn't know how to interview a real estate agent.
What am I looking for?
It's so far out of my area of expertise.
You need to find people that you can trust.
And not just in them, but you can trust the people they trust who are going to form the team that help bring everything together.
The inspectors, the mortgage consultants, the home repair people, the whole thing.
If you know me, you know, I put a premium on trust, and there's absolutely no reason you shouldn't do the same.
Please check them out: realestate agentsitrust.com.
That says it all.
Realestate agents I trust.com.
You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
So, who are the radicals that you're supposed to listen to?
Of course, that bishop in Australia is a radical.
And the ones we're supposed to listen to, well, our kids are being taught in Drag Queen Story Hour, this in Boston.
Today, what we're going to do is we're going to shout Creed Palestine.
Can I hear that?
If you're a drag mean and you know it, shout
free Palestine.
Okay, so we have that.
Now, at the same same time, we have a Columbia protest leader who said this yesterday.
Be glad, be grateful that I'm not just going out and
murdering Zionists.
I've never murdered anyone in my life, and I hope to keep it that way.
I genuinely hope to keep it that way.
I hope so too.
You're special.
These are the leaders of tomorrow.
This is the expert you're supposed to listen to.
I would like to recommend instead you listen to Alex Newman on my podcast this weekend.
Why do the elites hate America so much?
This global elite wants you to sever your ties to all of your traditions, all of the things that you've done well,
all of your history.
Absolutely everything.
And that's what people are pushing back on.
Who are you to tell me that my country, which I love and I understand has made bad mistakes at times, needs to be forgotten and left behind?
No, we matter.
Yep.
And that really is, I think, the core of the issue.
And I've been outside the United States the vast majority of my life.
I grew up in Latin America, Europe, Africa.
So, you know, I've seen all of that.
And that actually, I think, has given me a greater appreciation of America.
And America actually has, I think, a special place of hatred for the elites, not just because it's a nation state, but because of the principles that it was founded on.
This is what they really can't stand.
Yes, they want to undermine the nation state.
They want to move toward these regional governments like the European Union, the African Union.
Henry Kissinger outlined this in his book, World Order.
So did Klaus Schwab outlined it in his book, Great Recent.
But America, I think they especially hate this country because the principles it's based on are not compatible with their vision for the world.
The principles that our founders enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, that God created us equally.
God God gave us rights.
The government's job is to protect these rights.
These are biblical principles.
God said, thou shalt not murder, so you have a right to life.
God said, government exists to punish evil, so the government should punish murderers and thieves.
He said, you have a right to property.
And they can't stand those principles.
So they have to destroy not just the nation of America, not just the physical space and the people, but they have to discredit the ideas that's based on it.
I think we're entering that phase.
So do you think that
it's it's the ideas
are more important,
like, you know, you have a right to property and everything else, to them, that they hate that more than they hate the fact that
you're just letting anyone have a say?
You're just letting the unwashed masses, they're morons.
You know what I mean?
Which one do you think they hate?
They do it together.
Yeah, I mean, that's really the essence of America.
America is different than other nations.
You know, traditionally, nations have been defined by a common culture, a common language, maybe a common ethnicity, the Hungarians, the Swedes, whatever, the French, the Germans.
But America is unique in that it's founded on these principles, these ideas, like we the people should govern ourselves under God.
God's the one who gave us rights, not the king, not the government, et cetera.
And they do want to ultimately undermine the nation state.
You see, this is a
institution that God actually ordained.
You go back to Deuteronomy, you go to Acts, you see God is the one who divided mankind into nations.
And so there is this effort to undermine nations as an identity, as an institution.
But America is double plus bad, if you will, because not only are we a nation, a very powerful nation with a vibrant middle class, at least we were, but we're also founded on these principles that are fundamentally incompatible with their vision for the world.

When you purchase a product made in America by American Giant, you're casting a vote for American manufacturing, for American workers, American quality.
We have to make more things here.
So let's be honest, expecting the Chinese government to play fair is silly.
To think that the Chinese government is going to help us and buying more stuff from China is good for us is delusional.
Let's get back to the independent spirit of American manufacturing.
And all of American giant clothing is 100% American.
The cotton, the milling, the cutting, the sewing, all American.
It comes with quality that will last for generations.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment
and
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
All right.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
We have a lot on our plate today.
First of all, is Representative Mike Johnson, our Speaker of the House, has he been secretly plotting
with
the Republican Party to image himself as a freedom caucus member, and he really wasn't.
It's an unbelievable story we'll get to.
Also, I want to share with you some of the things that
I experienced with Alex Newman.
If you don't know who he is, you need to.
You need to learn about him because he is
absolutely fantastic.
We had a conversation about
the systematic destruction of America.
And I'll tell you about it coming up in 60 seconds.
You know, what's a good starting point?
You know, when you're doing business with a company,
I think a good starting point is to want to do business with them.
Does the left like them or hate them?
Left hates them.
Okay, that's pretty good.
That's a good starting point.
When you're considering doing business with a company, if they are on the left, I can guarantee you they hate you.
Why?
Why would we support people who are
who have no respect for us?
None.
Take my pillow, for example.
When my pillow started, the objective was simple, make the best pillow possible.
They didn't stop there.
Now they're making all kinds of amazing products, literally hundreds of them.
Most of them you probably have never even heard of.
They've had amazing success, despite the left doing everything they can to cancel them.
In fact, because of this and the change in retailers, they want to pass the savings directly on to you so you can get familiar with their other products.
They're having a $25 extravaganza when you use the promo code Beck.
Two-pack multi-use my pillows are just $25.

It won't last long.
Yes, it's mypillow.com.
So, once in a while, while, somebody comes along
that I really am excited to talk about.
On the podcast this week,
we have Alex Newman.
And
I think he is, he's a writer that I think I probably recommend to my producers.
probably more than any other writer.
He really, really gets it.
And I talked to him about the world at large because he's just come out with a new book on education.
And he's also
deep down the rabbit hole of the destruction of America and why America is being destroyed and what the plan is.
And we talked about conspiracies and conspiracy theories.
What's good, what's bad, what do we really need to know?
He talks about the 50-in-5
plan.
Wait until you hear about this.
Here's cut nine, please.
Talk to me about the 50-in-5 plan.
So, the UN has partnered with Bill Gates on this, what they call digital public infrastructure.
It's a very fancy term.
And I think the simplest way to understand it is they're building a giant digital gulag for all of humanity.
So, the UN Development Program has officially launched this.
It was officially launched at the end of last year, where they're going to get 50 governments, they call them countries, but really they mean governments, to impose at least some major element of this digital public infrastructure on their population within five years.
So 2020.
Sports.
Digital IDs, and those are already emerging.
In fact, many states are developing these.
Now, I just went through the airport yesterday.
You can scan your digital ID, QR code, right?
So that's happening.
Trevor Burrus, Jr.: And that's really one of the main reasons for the COVID
nonsense.
The architecture that was laid down is the backbone of this global control grid that they're building.
So then you've got the central bank digital currencies, which are already being unveiled.
They've already been released.
The World Economic Forum just said a few days ago, 98% of the governments and central banks in the world are working on these CBDCs.
Once they're fully operational, I guarantee you, they're going to start waging war on cash much more openly.
They'll say it's a tool for terrorists and pimps and every nasty thing, tax cheats, everything you can think of.
Then you've got the payment processing systems.
And you've also got, we just had the head of the World Health Organization talk about this recently, the digital health certificates, the digital vaccine passports.
They're taking what the EU developed during the COVID, which, by the way, the European Commission was promoting vaccine passports in May of 2019, long before anybody ever heard of COVID or anything like that.
So they're taking all of this together and they are using it to build a control system that will not just be able to surveil and monitor everything you do on an unprecedented scale when you combine it with AI, the ability to make sense of all this data, it's just mind-blowing, but also to manipulate what you do.
And so they're talking about this again pretty openly.
If you look at the World Economic Forum meetings, they talk about the benefits of programmable central bank digital currency, where they will be able to say who can buy what, when, under what conditions.
And then the Bank for International Settlements, you know, Carol Quigley, to go back to him for a moment, Bill Clinton's mentor, the guy who really really exposed this global agenda to create a one-world system.
He said the apex of the system was going to be the Bank for International Settlements.
This is an institution that's almost entirely unknown to Americans.
And what they are working on right now, and this is not a secret, it's not a conspiracy because it's not happening behind closed doors, is what they call a universal blockchain ledger.
They want to tokenize every asset in the known universe, every farm, every car, every house, every tree, put it on this ledger, this blockchain ledger, and then you're only able to interact with this blockchain ledger using your biometric digital ID, using your central bank digital currencies.
And so if I want to buy something from you, I can't just hand you a $100 bill.
I've got to go on my device, connect to this blockchain system, transfer the central bank digital currencies to you.
And so this is a mechanism for controlling humanity that I think is really unprecedented in human history.
And when you take it all together, it's very obvious.
Can I tell you something?
10 years ago, I would have thought that was absolute madness.
2016, I might have thought that,
you know,
what was making of,
I would have thought it was a lot farther down the road than we could, that we would ever get to anything like that.
We are so close.
to that being a reality.
The infrastructure is almost all complete.
All we need is some sort of an event.
We have weakened our kids.
We have weakened our health.
We have weakened our ability just to stand up.
We've weakened every single institution.
We've spent like money was going out of style.
We didn't save, and what we did save, they've destroyed through inflation.
Now, I just want you to go back.
Think of how many times you have been told something is a conspiracy theory.
Did you hear?
I mean, the latest came out yesterday.
Natural gas has now been banned.
Natural gas stoves has been banned in all
federal buildings.
You cannot have it in federal buildings.
Do you remember when they said that was a crazy conspiracy theory, that that would never happen?
They're never going to do that they are banning natural gas
they are doing everything they can to stop natural gas while they are also stopping all um fossil fuels
no oil
shutting down giant swaths of oil fields
Because they just passed a bill, or sorry, wrote a new regulation
where they are shutting down all of the coal-fire plants by 2038, is it?
37, 38?
That's not that far away.
Do you know our power plants that generate our electricity,
the majority of them are coal?
That's where we get our power, out of that magic little box.
you know, by the baseboard of your wall.
That's not a little magic box.
That comes from coal-fire plants.
Where are you going to, because you won't build another nuclear power plant, which is the cleanest.
Right up next to that
is natural gas.
We were told natural gas was fantastic.
That's why California went to all natural gas vehicles for the state, remember, leading the way.
Were they lying then or are we lying now?
What are we going to replace that with?
And by the way, if we all have to plug our cars in in 2034,
we don't have the electricity today.
Before they've broken the grid, we don't have the power today.
When you shut down all of the other electrical plants and you replace it with magic fairy dust,
how are we going to drive or are we not going to?
Are we going to really
without choice?
But of course without force you just won't be able to do it.
Gosh darn it.
Are we gonna gonna live in these 15 minute walkable cities?
I have no problem with a walkable city.
I like walkable cities.
When I lived in New York, I loved it.
I walked everywhere.
But I also want to be able to go someplace if I want to.
Did you see that landing of Lufthansa yesterday?
I don't know.
I'd be freaking out if that was...
That's Lufthansa.
I don't know if you know anything about Lufthansa, but they're Germans.
Germans tend to be accurate on things.
You know why?
That was a lesson.
That was a training lesson.
You have almost 400 people on a plane and you're doing a trait.
Could you post that on the front door?
So when I'm walking in, oh, the pilot is in training.
Okay.
No, thank you.
Planes falling out of the skies.
Can't trust Boeing now.
When?
When?
When have we ever seen a time when you can't trust Boeing?
Do you know yesterday the GDP came out?
For the first quarter,
our economy increased at a rate of 1.6%.
They had been looking for an increase of maybe 2.5%,
3.4%.
Previous period, 4.9.
Fourth quarter, 2023, 4.9.
It's 1.5.
That's not good.
No, no, no, but the economy is doing really well.
The economy is doing really, really well.
And so you have nothing to worry about because the experts, the one who brought us this economy,
The ones who have engineered, socially engineered all of this stuff?
The ones who have shut your local restaurant down or your local business down because COVID was so dangerous.
Now they're going after the unrealized gains.
Does America
have any idea what this means?
It's part of the budget proposal for 2025.
2025,
if this guy is elected, this is in the proposal for next year's legislation and budget.
They want to raise an additional $4.3 trillion
by imposing a minimum tax equal to 25% of a taxpayer's taxable income
and unrealized capital gains.
So
your house.
Now they're saying this is only for rich people.
Yeah, that's what Woodrow Wilson said.
We're going to tax 7%
on only the top 1%,
and it will never change.
Within three years, it was 95%, and everybody was paying income tax.
So
this is only for the very, very wealthy.
But if your house is appraised and it goes up,
you have to pay that unrealized capital gains.
So if your house has
gone up
by $100,000,
congratulations.
You now have to pay,
I'm not even sure what it is,
25%.
Where are you going to get that money if you haven't sold your house?
That's the point.
They don't want you to own a house.
You won't own anything,
and you'll be happy.
This is a way for you to not
own
anything.
What do you think that's going to do to the economy?
What do you think it's going to do to people's buying power, to people going out and buying things other than the government and places like BlackRock?
Do you know when we first started talking about Obamacare, I think the government controlled maybe 20, 25% of the economy?
Somebody have to look this up for me.
I'm sure these numbers are wrong, but directionally they're right.
We're approaching 50% of the economy being controlled by the federal government now.
50%.
That means
you're halfway there to communism.
You're halfway there to them controlling all of the spending in America
because they control health care, they control travel, they control all of these different things that answer to the government, and they're spending so much money.
They're buying all the drugs, they're buying roads and bridges, all of the concrete.
They're almost 50%.
What does the government create?
What is it we have as an asset?
You know, if they were out making money, not taking money, but making money and buying assets with that, that we could go, all right,
that's going to appreciate in value, but nothing they make makes money.
And everything depreciates in value,
including the dollar,
one of the other things they make.
Do you remember when you were a teenager?
Didn't matter how much sugar or caffeine you had, your head would hit the pillow and you were out.
Yeah, good sleep wasted on the young, I'm afraid.
Now you're older, you're wiser, a lot more tired, and you're not getting good sleep.
It'd be nice to get a break from the sleepless nights.
Well, that's what Relief Factor Sleep is for.
Just like the regular relief factor you take for pain, relief factor sleep is 100% drug-free.
So you get a good night's sleep, you're really relaxed, you get it what you need.
And then you wake up in the morning and you don't feel groggy.
You don't feel like I shouldn't have taken that last night.
It's a blend of natural ingredients designed to promote healthy sleep by reducing anxiety and distress, improving mood, and promoting relaxation.
It works.
I felt the difference on the first night.
I think you will too.

10 seconds, station ID.
There's a new bill in California.
It's going to enroll every state resident in Cal Care,
which you're going to be relieved to know CalCare will include gender-affirming care.
So they've got that for including
home health care, assisted living facilities, dialysis, and acupuncture.
California Assembly Health Committee voted to advance the bill that would establish a universal health care board that would ban most private health care and require shifting the entire $405 billion spent on health care in California onto the state budget.
Now, they already face a $73 billion budget deficit, but you know what cures that?
Spending an additional $405 billion.
With continued collaboration, California has the opportunity to be a model for the nation on what a progressive alternative to our fragmented profit-driven status quo can be.
You know what?
If I'm in a state legislature, I introduce a bill that California's bill is on them.
That they will not get any of our money to bail them out after CalCare collapses.
This is just another thing
to make sure you owe nothing.
Glenn Beck.
If you could just snap your fingers, we could have the evil of abortion come to an end in this country.
I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Unfortunately, evil can't be defeated without a long and difficult fight over time.
Pre-born is helping.
They offer God's love and life to protect hurting women and precious pre-born babies.
Everything that enters your mind when you hear the words Planned Parenthood, pre-born is the opposite of that.
They offer free ultrasounds.
What is a free ultrasound going to do?
It gives and restores the truth.
That is a baby.
Look, arms, legs, heartbeat.
They offer free ultrasounds and life-saving care.
They also offer assistance to the mom for up to two years after the baby is born.
Last year, pre-born saved 58,000 babies because of people just like you.
If you have the means, would you consider any donation or a leadership gift if you really have the money?
Saving babies in a big way, your tax-deductible donation of five grand will sponsor their entire network nationwide for 24 hours and you can rescue up to 200 babies.

Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
I want to welcome you if you're a new listener to the program.
My name is Glenn Beck.
I'm the host.
It was just a coincidence that this show, this slot that was here,
happened to say it was the a Glenn Beck program, they found a Glenbeck that could kind of do the job.
And here I am today.
So thank you so much for listening.
I want to talk to you about what's happening
on our streets.
It's not good.
And there's a couple of things that are happening that shows the tide is turning.
First of all, Cornell has become the latest Ivy League institution to reinstate the
SATs.
Really?
Huh?
That's a good idea now.
Hmm.
Who would have thought that?
56% of voters agree with the statement with President Trump, we had mean tweets, but we also had world peace.
56%.
57%
say we spend too much money on foreign aid.
57% of likely U.S.
voters, we spend too much money on foreign aid.
57% of likely U.S.
voters say they think the United States spends too much on foreign aid.
10% said the foreign spending is not enough.
23% of respondents say, oh, I think my porridge is just right.
The U.S.
is more supportive of funding Israel than Ukraine.
But you wouldn't know that, would you?
You would think that everybody is for the Ukrainian funding, funding, the way they went off about it,
and nobody's for Israel funding.
Nope, that's actually not true.
You would think that they would pay attention to what the Americans want.
Half of Americans, including, listen to this, including 42% of Democrats, say they would support mass deportations of undocumented money.
42%
of Democrats say they would support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.
That's amazing.
Wow.
30% of Democrats now say they would end birthright citizenship.
Look,
I don't know what they know that
we don't know, but
this administration is completely out of touch.
Completely out of touch.
They are going in the exact opposite direction of the American people.
And for some reason, we're still buying into the lies.
And I don't mean you per se.
Have you checked yourself on what lies,
what lies are you just tolerating?
By the way,
you know, the Biden administration has wanted to put a new aid route in for Gaza.
They wanted to put it by ship.
So we have been building
a giant pier where we can send all of this food and everything else
off of our Navy ships and send it to a pier where
they can take it.
Unfortunately, Unfortunately, the pier is not finished yet,
but there was an attack.
We were beginning to construct the pier
and
it's not clear whether the militants knew who they were attacking.
Maybe they just saw a target of opportunity.
Yeah.
But they were shelled with mortars and
they attacked the pier.
How do you help people that just refuse to be helped?
How does that happen?
And by the way, can we please play the
leader of
Columbia University, the anti-Israel encampment now?
Man,
if you have a kid in Columbia, why are you paying?
Why are you paying?
Pull them out of there.
What are you thinking?
Here's the leader of the anti-Israel encampment.
Listen.
Be glad.
Be grateful that I'm not just going out
and
murdering Zionists.
I've never murdered anyone in my life, and I hope to keep it that way.
I genuinely hope to keep it that way.
That's good for you.
Good for you.
What a good goal in life.
You know?
I haven't, I haven't come to the place in my life where I've had to say to myself, you know, I haven't murdered anybody yet, and I hope to keep it that way.
I, I, you know, he's, well, he's far above all of us.
I, I don't know why I haven't made that goal for myself, but it's weird.
I haven't made that goal for myself, and I've also never murdered anyone.
Now, James, who goes by the pronouns, and this is very important to point out, he, she, they
live streamed his meeting with the Columbia Center for Student Success in Intervention.
And they just wanted to talk to him about, you know, some of the things that he's been saying.
He warned Zionists who may want to meet up and fight that he fights to kill.
Scratch your eyes out.
He'll fight to kill.
Columbia employee said, Do you see why that might be problematic
to some?
He said,
No.
I feel very comfortable, very comfortable calling for these people to die.
Oh,
okay.
You know, you might want to expand your goals, you know, like not murdering people.
Well, I don't know if that's a goal or if it's just a hope,
but you might want to, you know, really kind of, you know, cement that in as a goal more than a hope.
But
alongside,
maybe having a list that's a little smaller of the people you want to die.
Because I think those go hand in hand.
I got a list of people who I think should die, but I don't want to murder anybody.
Oh.
Then why do you have the list again?
He compared the need to kill Zionists to killing Hitler and the Haitian revolutionaries who had to kill their masters in order to gain their independence.
These were masters who were white supremacists.
And what is a Zionist?
He, she, they said.
A white supremacist.
So let's be very clear here.
I'm not saying I'm going to go out and start killing Zionists.
But I don't think, he's not not saying that either.
I just want to.
What I am saying is that if an individual who identifies as a Zionist threatens my physical safety in person,
i.e.
puts their hands on me, I'm going to defend myself.
And in that case scenario, it may come to a point where I just don't know when to stop.
I'll just hit and hit and hit and hit.
I'm going to give you such a hit.
He doesn't know when to stop.
That's another problem.
That shows maybe a little mental illness.
I was just hitting it, hitting it, hitting, and I couldn't stop hitting.
Um, okay,
you sound unstable.
Why?
Just because I have a list of people I want to die?
I understand what you're saying, the Columbia employee responded.
What resources do you think you have to make sure that you feel protected as a student here?
So Columbia's response to, I don't know, I could just lose control and just start hitting them and maybe I don't know when to stop.
I understand that.
Is there anything we can do
as a university to make sure that you feel safe?
He said, yeah.
My hands and my brains are my resources.
I'm going to call the meeting institutional violence.
That's what he said.
You know what?
This is just institutional violence.
James went on to say, there should not be Zionists anywhere.
Okay, dude,
it's getting worse for you.
People who hold these types of ideologies.
The world's just better without them.
That's my comment, and I stand by that.
Now, during a break in the meeting, because they were like, James, maybe you should go out and talk to some of your friends.
Can somebody tell them to shut up?
He called the meeting a joke.
He went right on to Instagram and said, this is just a joke.
They definitely were hoping that I was going to backwalk the I fight to kill, he said, cackling.
James said, he does fight to kill.
And that's why no one has fought him since middle school.
You know, nobody's fought me since middle school either.
I mean, I think that's something that is natural in most people's lives.
And it wasn't because all the kids knew that I would fight to kill because I really can't.
I mean, I'm really kind of just a lump.
I've been a lump for a very long time.
And
no, that's not why, that's why I haven't gotten into a fight on the playground since then.
It's because I kind of grew out of that.
But good to know that no one's fought you since you were in middle school because you're such a tough he, she, they.
After publication of the story, Columbia University spokesperson indicated there may have been disciplinary measures for his
there may have been.
James continued his rant on his live stream after the meeting.
Some would say these are unhinged, but not me.
Zionists don't deserve to live comfortably.
So they don't deserve to live.
But if they do live, they certainly shouldn't live comfortably.
Let alone Zionists don't deserve to live, he said.
The same way we're very comfortable accepting Nazis don't deserve to live.
Fascists don't deserve to live.
Racists don't deserve to live.
Zionists shouldn't live.
Wow, that's a lot of people.
That's a lot of people.
And I'm not saying that Nazis don't have a right to live, okay?
I don't think Nazis
have a right to, you know, incite hatred and violence.
That's probably where, you know, they could live.
I don't want to live next door to them.
I actually want to encourage them.
You know what looks good, Hans?
Yeah,
you in Liederhosen.
It does.
It does.
That way I can identify them at the grocery store and avoid them.
You know what I mean?
That guy's wearing Lederhosen.
Yeah, don't say anything.
Tell him it looks good.
We don't want him to blend in.
James said he welcomes getting kicked out of Columbia because he wants to travel to South America and live my best life.
It's my best life.
I couldn't live anywhere but South America.
He also contemplated what would happen if the United States supported the murder of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Etanyahu.
By the way, gang, I just wanted to let you know this is one of the best and the brightest at Columbia University.
This is one of the future leaders of the world, okay?
He said, What would happen if the United States supported the murder of the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu?
His death would theoretically mean that people would live.
And so, yes, murder can absolutely be justified.
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo.
Your home is your castle, but these days they don't exactly let you build a wall around it and dig a moat and put sharp spikes at the bottom.

I'm just
trying to do the math here on some of my statements before I go live my best life down in.
What do you think about Argentina?
you think there's any
i bet i bet people would love me down in argentina you know me hating the jews there's lots of people down in argentina they've been there for decades i hear like they moved in suddenly in the 1940s don't know why
i'm just trying to figure out
he said
accepting we all have to accept nazis don't deserve to live fascists don't deserve to live well first of all let's just i just want to consolidate here make this a little shorter for you, James.
If there are no fascists, if we kill all the fascists, then the Nazis wouldn't be there.
So it is put one group there.
Racists don't deserve to live, and Zionists, they shouldn't live either.
Now, wait a minute, wait a minute.
If you hate Zionists,
most Zionists are Jews,
which would make you
a racist.
Kind of like Hitler.
You're a racist, so do you deserve to live because you want the Jews to die like Hitler?
It's just, go live your best life.
Stop questioning these things.
Just go live your best life.
By the way, a pro-Palestinian protester at Columbia University, Yale University, are circulating a guidebook to advocates across the country, encouraging more occupations and teaching them how to be successful.
The pamphlet titled, First We Take Columbia, Lessons from the April April 1968 Occupations Movement, was anonymously written by protesters at the Columbia and Yale encampments and published in left-wing dissident magazine Ill Will last Saturday.
And it was distributed by hand.
Wait until you hear about this.
It's great.
And the pamphlet is available in English, French, Turkish, Chinese, Spanish, and Japanese.
You'll probably forget the Chinese thing because I don't think they're going to put up with it for very long.
But I think the cover is really a kind of a very bright red and
I mean I appreciate you put it in all different languages but could we have could I have a cover in mauve please?
Red just sets me off.
It does.
I'm sorry to say it.
I want a mauve cover on my revolutionary book.

So what's going on in Washington with our Speaker of the House?
Well, what
happened in the last last couple of weeks?
How did this guy go from
being,

So two years ago, I had this guy on, Christopher Bedford, and
he was writing for the Federalist at the time.
And he said, he had written a piece, I think it was two years after the
lockdowns, the West Troubles Aren't Ending, they're just beginning.
And I thought he had some real foresight.
And
boy,
was he right about that.
Christopher
Bedford now is a senior editor for Politics, Washington correspondent for the Blaze Media.
He has written for The American Mind, The Washington Examiner, National Review, The New York Post.
He was the editor-of-chief for the Daily Color News Foundation, and we're we're thrilled to have him at theblaze.com.
So help me out on this, Chris.
Because for the life of me, I cannot get my head around Speaker Johnson being a secret spy.
Do you buy this?
Not completely, no.
And first of all, it's great to be on the pirate ship, especially in these stormy waters.
I think it's a great crew to be sailing with.
Thank you.
Here in D.C.,
an article that caught my eye was a 2018 Daily Beast piece
after Johnson became the head of the Republican Study Committee, which was founded as a conservative committee, but was taken over by Republican leadership under Boehner and kind of became a hangout spot for Republicans.
That's kind of started the Freedom Caucus.
Now, you saw Johnson had been hanging out with the Freedom Caucus.
He'd been going to their meetings.
He'd not been paying dues, which is a big faux pas.
It's hard to collect those dues, but they go to paying the few shared staff that the Freedom Caucus has.
He'd not been participating, but he'd been going to those meetings.
So when he became the new chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a lot of his colleagues, Republican, more liberal colleagues, said, well, this guy's just a double agent.
He just sneaked on here.
He's pretending to not be part of the Freedom Caucus, the conservative group, but really, this is just a conservative takeover.
And I looked at that, and I looked at how since he becomes Speaker, someone who who I had a lot of hope for, you had a lot of hope for, I was excited to see
wow, this is the first social conservative and Republican leadership in decades who actually cares about this stuff.
We might have a fighting chance here.
And it's been extremely disappointing.
So I think there's some
you know there's a way that he seems to negotiate whether it's government funding, impeachment, FISA, now Ukraine.
And step one is a major decision comes along his way.
And then he goes back and forth, step two, he's not sure what to do.
He delays it as long as he possibly can.
Then he kind of tweaks what was originally offered.
He pretends that it was a win, and he asks Democrats to bail him out.
That seems to be what's going on here.
But when you look back at this Daily Beast piece, and you look back at the people who've known him and have known him to be a good man, which by all accounts he is in his personal life, you have to wonder
what could be driving him.
And it seems to be kind of a classic case of Washington, D.C.
extreme ambition, an ability to deceive himself, which is not too uncommon.
You think a lot of the folks here in Washington are real hypocrites or real bad men who claim to be doing the Lord's work when in fact they're just doing their own.
But a surprising amount of them have really convinced themselves they are on the good side, that they are on that really creepy quote, the right side of history, that
they are the good guys who are going to come and save the day, and this is why the Lord put them there.
and it really feeds into an incredible ego an incredible amount of ambition and also just the sad reality that a lot of these folks are pretty weak
as leaders and people they they're capable like many of us are of standing at the back of the crowd and saying I agree this is bad or being a backbencher who says I'm not sending any more money to that bloodbath or I'm not going to I'm going to vote to doesn't care I don't care what the defense industry puts on me.
I'm not going to let women be drafted.
It's easy easy to say that when you're not the leader.
But when you're in the center and you take all those arrows and all those slings and all those scary GIF meetings from the Intel community and it's all on you, you have to answer for that.
Well, that's when you find out who's really a leader and who's just ambitious.
You know, there's a, in your article for Blaze, you've talked to a lot of his colleagues.
And one of his senior staffers that worked with him in 2018 said, the speaker is someone who could forgive himself for lying because he thinks it's for a higher purpose.
He has an exceptional capacity for self-justification.
That's not good.
That's not something I found.
No, it's not good.
And it's something that I found repeated over and over again about Johnson.
You know, when he ran for Speaker as kind of a dark horse surprise candidate, a lot of his colleagues, Republican colleagues, and even the ones who were much more conservative, were willing to say, you know, I know him personally.
He's a man of God, and therefore I trust him.
But they didn't want to look at the record.
They didn't want to look at, well, what happens when leadership puts a little bit of pressure on him?
How does his vote change?
Will he actually,
his personal religious beliefs and his commitments aside, how do those actually shine as a statesman, as someone who's willing to take the arrows for those causes?
And they don't.
The votes didn't back it up.
But
he looked at this, as what I've been told by his colleagues, as something that he's been put in this position.
He's been chosen for this.
And if he needs to lie, if he needs to deceive, if he needs to twist arms to further it, then he is on the right side.
Again, that creepy quote that I've heard him saying since, the right side of history.
The other people are on the wrong side of history and that his actions can therefore be justified.
I mean, we see this all the time.
You see it in levels like this with politics.
You see it, of course, a lot since 2016 with a lot of the left saying that people who support Donald Trump are basically the Nazis.
Well,
once you say that you're on the side of God or they're on the side of Hitler, then you can justify a lot of actions that I think a moral person would not otherwise be able to justify.
So what do you think's coming for him,
for the rest of us?
Are we just stuck with a guy who is pathetic and weak now because
the Democrats would absolutely vote to keep him in.
You know, I'm curious about that because everyone's on recess right now and things have quieted down.
But then he's got the question is, with everything that's coming down next, how is he going to be able to continue to govern here?
Right now, he's essentially, even though he's the Speaker of the House and supposedly the head of the Republican coalition, he's really governing as a kind of a prime minister of a center-left coalition, the Unit Party, which has always kind of governed D.C., but now is really being open about it, where he's got half of Republicans on his side and about two-thirds of Democrats on his side.
So how is he actually going to be able to pass anything with that coalition?
The Democrats will protect him.
The Republicans, a lot of them, are never going to come back to him.
What's he actually going to be able to do in the next couple of weeks?
Is he c I kind of wonder if he's lame a lame duck speaker, because he's got these folks, but they've accomplished their $95 billion.
Then again, there's also already, there's already leaked rumors that they're planning the next big handout to the Ukraine war, that they're planning to come in September.
And I suspect that he'll still be Speaker through September, but what's going to happen in November is either Republicans are going to lose their slim majority, in which case he won't be Speaker, or they'll win it.
And then he's going to have to look around and find out amongst those liberal Republicans
who are his allies, who's actually going to put him up for Speaker, and what are all the alternatives?
Right now, he's kind of running against no one.
So he could maintain that, but it will be difficult.
You being in Washington, hanging
out or around these people all the time, watching them, listening to them,
what do you think they think is coming in November?
I think people, Republicans, are cautiously optimistic for a Donald Trump victory.
But of course,
there are a huge amount of shenanigans that are already unfolding.
There's there's worries about what's going to be the new COVID, what's going to be the new moral panic that causes it so that voting can't be done squarely and in full view of the public.
The Republican National Committee has been trying to r mix up its plan for how to whether it's going to do early voting, where its lawyers are going to be.
We know that it's going to be, I think, chaos.
Either Donald Trump actually wins and the left wing takes to the streets like they did in 2016, burning cars, attacking people, or Donald Trump loses.
And either way, I think that large parts of this country are going to not be satisfied with the election results.
The tension that existed in 2016 has not gotten any less.
How do the Democrats feel to you?
Confident?
Worried?
No, they were significantly more worried
before Joe Biden's State of the Union.
And you saw that in the pages of the New York Times, the Washington Post, MSNBC, people openly wishing that they could have a different candidate.
Just like you saw in 2020 with people wishing that it was Cuomo instead of Joe Biden.
But
and we'll see a lot actually this weekend with the White House correspondence dinner where everyone's going to be paying attention to Joe Biden's remarks.
Are they clear?
Are they concise?
Is he funny like he can be when he's on, like he was at some points of the State of the Union?
But there's a real fear amongst Democrats that Donald Trump is coming back, that the constant cycle of drama that they surrounded his entire four years with hasn't stuck with the American people because so much of it was fake, so much of it was just impossible to remember because there were fake scandals.
Democrats in town are not confident that they'll get the White House, but they are feeling fairly confident about Congress.
We were talking to Christopher Bedford.
He is the Blaze senior media
political editor in the Blaze Media Washington Correspondent.
When do they come back into session?
Next week.
Short vacation, and the Senate was even cut down a little shorter because
they had to stick around to do the American people's business.
And I'm being sarcastic on that.
They sent $95 million abroad.
Real quick, any thoughts on the Trump trial this week?
Biden said, the DOJ said actually, that Trump is the first president to face
criminal prosecution because
predecessors, other presidents, just didn't commit any crimes.
Yeah.
I remember when Barack Obama left office, the Washington Post said it was a scandal-free administration.
Yeah, totally.
And I think there were some dead border agents who could disagree with that.
The Trump trial is going to be interesting.
It's at New York.
It's tough.
The judge is obviously against them, but the prosecution has embarrassed itself so far.
The case is so weak that, and you kind of forget that in the hubbub of all the news, that it's relying on a bunch of liars to turn a misdemeanor that is outside of the statute of limitations into a felony because of another misdemeanor that can barely be cited.
And it took the prosecution two days even to come up with that argument.
And at the same time, the Supreme Court seems like it's going to crack down and at least limit what the president is able to do with his authority.
So that will help push some of of the other trials back to after the election if that happens.
But at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter if Trump's in a prison cell or not because he's not out campaigning.
He's not able to leave New York.
He's kind of stuck.
He wasn't able to weigh in in these last Capitol Hill fights.
They haven't put him in a prison cell, but they somewhat put him in a room.
And that's something that you'll see, and you'll probably see some jokes about it that this big fancy dinner they're having this weekend.
They'll be laughing at us about how they still managed to stop probably the greatest campaigner in modern history from being able to campaign.
So do you think that hurts him?
I mean, because the people who are going to vote for him are going to vote for him anyway.
And the ones who are the ones who, you know, really,
they'd vote for him, but they really don't like his tweets and his personality and everything else.
By keeping him off the road and yet still in the public eye, you keep the focus on Joe Biden.
And
is there any case to be made made that's good for Donald Trump?
So far, it actually hasn't hurt him, exactly, to your point.
And the folks in the suburbs who maybe voted for Trump in 2016 and voted for Biden in 2020,
to your point, they're not going to be swayed by a rally.
They're not going to be swayed by the kind of popcorn and rah-rah that goes on at those fun events.
But they are being swayed a little bit by the incredible unfairness.
The question is whether or not they're going to be able to actually get felony charges on him, because that's the kind of thing that does spook those
easily frightened voters.
Yeah.
All right.
Thank you so much.
I really, really appreciate it, Chris.
Thank you.
It's great to be back.
You bet.
Back in just a second.

Rough Greens is for real dogs, not furries.
No,
no.
And here's why.
And I'm going to get really scientific.
Furries are people pretending to be dogs.
Yeah.
They're not real dogs.
I know.
I know.
It comes as a complete shock.
So no matter how much your little furry begs or even barks for it, you probably don't want to give it to them.
Okay.
Even they'd wag their imaginary tail.
It's so heavy.
No.
No.
And I'll use a newspaper rolled up if I have to.
Rough Greens is only for real dogs, and it's not a dog food.
It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr.

We have been sharing some stories with you this week, some shocking allegations that were made in a federal lawsuit.

Glenn Beck.
What have I told you that it's not only possible to get rid of that pain you've been carrying around for so long, but that you could actually potentially go back to feeling the way you used to?
Remember those days?
Back when you didn't have to check in with your body before everything you did?
I used to suffer from horrible, horrible pain in my hands.
Like, it was, it was so bad.
I couldn't write anymore.
You know, I could type, but I couldn't hold a pencil for very long.
I couldn't paint.
And I'm a painter, if you don't know.
But
it was over, I thought.
And then my wife made me try Relief Factor.
Yes, she made me try it.
And I did.
I tried their three-week quick start.
I didn't think that it was working until, because I was stubborn, until I stopped taking it.
And then it started to come back.
And I'm like, oh my gosh, this does, this really has worked.
Now I can paint all the time.
1995, get the three-week quickstart kit, relieffactor.com, relief factor.com, or call 800, the number four relief, 800, the number four relief.
When you feel the difference, you know it works.
Coming up, we're going to talk about the latest podcast that will come out tomorrow that talks about what's really happening behind the curtain with the Wizard of Oz.
Hello, America.
Welcome to Friday.
I want to talk to you a little bit about history and what is happening.
History is really kind of shaping up
quite interesting.
It's
wow,
it's kind of exactly like 1968 in America with a few missing things.
Remember, in 1968,
we had protesters at the gates of Colombia.
Pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia University, Yale University, are circulating now a guidebook to activists across the country, encouraging more occupations and teaching them how to be successful.
The pamphlet is titled First We Take Columbia, Lessons from the April 1968 Occupations Movement.
It was anonymously written by protesters at Columbia and Yale encampments and published in the left-wing dissident magazine Ill Will on Saturday.
By the way, you know, I save things from movements in America.
If anybody happens to have a copy of Ill Will,
I need a copy.
I don't know where.
I mean,
it's been a while since I bought Ill Will and
my subscription has run out.
So if you have a copy, please send it to me because I'd like it for the
museum.
And if you happen to live by any of these protests and you can gather any of this craziness and stay safe, please do gather it and send it to me.
You can send it to Mercury One here in Dallas.
Anyway,
so the occupations have popped up at a growing number of universities now around the country and ill will probably had something to do with that, including most recently at George Washington University.
The pamphlet is available in all kinds of languages and it says things like this.
When you seize a town, a campus, get a hold of the power stations, the water, the transportation.
Forget to negotiate.
Forget how to negotiate.
Don't wait for de Gaulle or Kirk to abdicate.
They won't.
You're not demonstrating.
You're fighting a war.
Fight to win.
Don't wait.
Don't wait for them to agree to your terms.
Take what you need.
It's free because it's yours.
Oh,
okay.
Now, the pamphlet was shared by groups including Palestinian Action U.S.
and the National Students for Justice in Palestine organization, also supported by the Encampment Organizing Coalition Columbia University Apartheid Divest,
which commented on social media and they approve of the pamphlet.
In fact, they said the pamphlet walks through 14 lessons that might be useful today now that university occupations have re-emerged as a tactic within the movement to halt the genocide in Gaza.
What a bunch of dopes.
The document first encourages disruption, saying the reason occupations are effective.
The occupation needs to be spread in order to survive, encouraging students to take over even more buildings on campus throughout the city and across the country.
And the activists need to, quote, take the enemy by surprise.
Occupations draw strength from the specter of a riot, it says.
The April 1968 occupations took place in the immediate aftermath of the Holy Week of riots in the surrounding neighborhoods and cities across the country after the assassination of Dr.
Martin Luther King.
Campus administrators, city officials, this I'm reading from the document, and police department worried that any attempt to suppress the occupations might lead to unrest in the surrounding neighborhoods, Harlem might invade Columbia.
And occupation today will be in stronger position if it's able to build and mobilize support from the surrounding neighborhood.
Two or three mini Colombias is what we need.
Then, as in now, we will take the opening of new fronts and spread the increasingly disruptive tactics, such as building occupations to pull the emergency brake on the war machine.
So, we've got the super, super special stuff.
This time for the Palestinians, last time it was BLM.
Both of them were organized and funded by radicals.
So remember, BLM, that was super special, wasn't it?
It was super special.
And this time, because we are on such high alert
that,
you know, we know the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI is watching and is deeply involved.
in the getting of the real radicals that could possibly do any kind of terrorism or real damage to the country.
In fact, an FBI spokesperson yesterday was asked about these protesters and their tactics, and he said,
I'm in church right now.
I'm really close to
blending in with these Catholics because they're so radical.
So shh, I can't answer anything right now.
So you have that going for you.
The FBI is
undercover again and they are
working for it.
You know, in 1968,
you had the execution, the martyring of Martin Luther King.
You had RFK Jr., JFK.
Do you know that Harry Truman was almost killed when he was in office?
They're redoing the White House and he was staying across the street.
And he gets, and he starts walking down the
ramp.
And
as he's walking down, not ramp, sorry, I was thinking of Joe Biden, walking down the stairs.
And he's walking down the stairs at the front of where he was staying.
And
two guys jump out and they fire their guns.
Luckily, they miss and they're taken down, but they were Palestinian supporters trying to kill President Truman.
Why?
Because Truman was the one who said yes
to Israel.
So
you got that going for you.
And then RFK,
RFK, he was, of course,
he was assassinated by,
oh, a Palestinian.
You know what's crazy?
Look at this.
In a 10-year period, you have a president and a presidential candidate killed by Palestinian radicals.
JFK, which everybody says was a communist, but I really don't think so anymore.
I think that was a public-private partnership with the deep state, quite honestly.
I mean, why aren't we releasing any documents?
Everybody's dead by now.
It's agencies that were involved.
And then MLK was killed by a racist.
And everybody's looking at racists right now, looking for a boogeyman racist when racism is on the march like nobody's business.
Racism against Jews, racism against white people.
I mean, who are the real rabid racists right now?
I think you could find them today on many coll college campuses.
And then just to end 1968 and wrap it up and put a nice bow on it,
the Democrats had their convention in Chicago, which turned into riots.
Oh, wow, that's weird.
They're having their convention in Chicago again.
And Chicago, Chicago will never be a problem.
I can't imagine them having any kind of problem at all in Chicago.
But don't worry, the FBI's on it.
I told you.
We're in mass pretending that we're like these terrorist Catholics.
Shh, quiet.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt their
SWAT operation on the Catholics.
One more thing.
Tomorrow, I have the Alex Newman podcast.
Alex is a guy who has been right
on many, many things for a very, very long time.
Alex Newman is going to be talking to me about the witnessing the controlled demolition of America.
We talk about the World Economic Forum, the Council of Foreign Relations, the Bilderbergers, the Hamburgers, the all of the burgers, really, and the secret global cabals.
And we try to separate fact from fiction and what is a conspiracy and what is a conspiracy theory.
Reality is just as terrifying as any lie you might find on the internet.
Alex makes the case that the UN and Bill Gates are building a giant digital gulag for humanity.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Digital control from the top down.
And we talk about CBDCs, digital IDs, how to manipulate these things.
Do you know that Sweden already has thousands of people with microchips in their hands?
It's for their ID.
They can buy a train ticket.
They could buy their groceries.
All they have to do is just swipe that little chip that is in their hand.
Most importantly, we talk about Christian nationalism.
He is so clear on what Christian nationalism is.
There is
real danger with Christian nationalism because most people don't know what it is.
And once you know what it is, the solutions become very, very clear and very, very easy.
In fact, let me play one clip here of Alex Newman,
Cut 10, How to Win Without a War.
With the governments all falling in line, with the media all backing that up,
how do you stand without
a bloody, bloody war?
Have you thought about the strategies of getting...
and reversing this without
and winning?
Well, I think there's a lot of different possibilities here.
And I would say it begins with us as individuals.
We have to change our shopping habits.
We have to do our best to stop doing business with people who hate us and want to destroy us and start doing business with people who share our values in our own families.
And I think this is critical.
I would argue that one of the main tools that these elitists have at their disposal to move humanity in the direction that they want us to go is the government school system.
So I would urge parents to think long and hard about the kind of education you choose for your children.
It's one of the most important decisions you will make in your life.
And you can prove that the people who created this system, who are running this system, do not agree with your values, are consciously working to undermine the system of government that we have here and to bring out this kind of global order.
And undermine the family.
Absolutely.
I mean, that's one of the primary goals.
And frankly, it always has been.
If you go back and look at the history of how this system emerged.
So, you you know when it comes to the education of your children pray and think about it long and hard it's one of the most important things you're going to do in your life and then you know at the community and at the state level we have a lot of options left to extend so take the CBDCs for example I'm from Florida We have passed a law banning central bank digital currencies.
Here in the state of Texas, you guys have a gold bullion depository.
I've interviewed some of your legislators, Mark Dorazio.
They have a bill that's going to turn
this depository into a mechanism that will facilitate commerce using gold and debit cards.
So there's a lot of things we can do at the state level.
And during COVID, you know, this is a really good example.
I live in a fairly rural county in Florida, very conservative.
We have very decent people on our county commission, in our city council, our governor and our legislature, all kind of were united and we're not going along with this change.
They flirted with it a little bit early on.
But in my part of the state, we had basically life as normal for people who wanted to live life as normal.
Our institutions weren't shut down.
We were never forced to put masks on our face.
Where then, you know, I would fly to California or Illinois and New York.
And it was just this dystopian, tyrannical season.
So we need to develop.
They're still, because we have family up in the New York area.
And they're still
just
freaked out by everything.
They have fundamentally changed as people because of that experience.
Here in Texas, you in Florida.
We didn't.
Yeah, we didn't.
We went through some trouble and we have maybe
woken up a little bit more, but they have this
weird, weird fear.
And that's a critical thing right there.
We must say no to the fear.
It's so important.
You're absolutely right.
They change the way people think.
I mean, they turn people against their own families, right?
You can't come to Thanksgiving dinner if you won't take the shot.
What?
Don't miss this interview.
It is really a good one and important.
Tunnel to Towers Foundation is our sponsor.
Ever since 9-11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been helping America's greatest heroes and their families.
I want to introduce you to the Arno family.
Father Jason Arno was a firefighter in Buffalo, New York, who was sadly killed while protecting his community and fighting a warehouse fire.
He leaves behind a wife and a young daughter.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation found out about this man and immediately stepped in and
helped his family.
Because of his brave sacrifice, they paid off the mortgage for their home, lifting a huge financial burden and making it so the Arno's could remain in the place where they made so many memories with their hero, their dad.
Please join Tunnel to Towers and its mission to do good.
Support the families of America's greatest heroes, the families of first responders like Jason Arno, Gold Star families with young children, catastrophically injured service members, and to our shame as a country, homeless veterans.
More than 95 cents of every dollar you donate goes to Tunnel to Towers programs, not limousines, not salaries.
Donate $11 a month to tunnel to towers at t2t.org.
That's t the number two t.org.

So NBC released a poll this week.
They found Americans just hit a 20-year low when it comes to interest in the presidential election.
64% of us are very interested in the 2024 race, but it was in 2020, 77%.
So what's going on?
Is it that we just know who the people are and we're ready to elect?
We know that nobody's going to be debating.
What is it?
We're going to do a special show where I talk to you, the audience, and we're looking especially for audience members between 18 years and 34 years old
