They will, I mean, they'll really, you could, I mean, I almost feel like you don't even have to buy them like good food anymore.

You just buy them, you know, whatever, and they'll just sprinkle this on top.

They'll eat anything.

Yeah, I've been feeding Udo paper towels.

They don't care.

They'll just styrofoam, those styrofoam peanuts I put out there sometimes for.

Just sprinkle some rough greens right on them.

Oh, wouldn't it be great if that was a use for styrofoam peanuts?

Okay, it's not.

None of that stuff is true.

What you do need is to put this on your kibble food for your dog or whatever you feed your dog.

and hold alive.

It's a new day, a time of rain.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Oh, yes, it really is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Hello, you sick twisted freak.

By the way, I can't hear anything in my ears.

The studio.

Let me just tell you that I am thrilled that we're going to be starting with Katanji Brown, the wonderful, I'm sorry, Katanji Brown Jackson, the wonderful, wonderful Supreme Court nominee that is now sitting on the Supreme Court and able to make all kinds of really interesting comments

and ask interesting questions like she did yesterday.

She was asking for help.

So I'm going to help her out just a little bit.

We do that in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It's Car Shield.

I've had Car Shield for years now and for one very simple reason.

I know I can count on them to save me money when my car repairs come around and I've been saving money with them for several years years now.

I have some old trucks here at the farm and the ranch and I just need them to go from point A to point B with stuff in the back of the truck.

I don't care what they look like.

I don't care how old they are.

I just want them to work and I certainly don't want to have to buy a new car.

Well, Car Shield has helped me

really

It's kept me away from the car lot for my trucks a lot.

They have protection plans for you that start as low as $100 a month, flexible month-to-month coverage, your choice of a certified mechanic, 24-7 coast-to-coast roadside assistance, complimentary towing, rental car options, and there are no long-term contracts.

And Car Shield administrators will handle all the paperwork for you.

Plus, your rates will never go up no matter how many claims you file.

Well, I don't know if you heard Justice Jackson yesterday, but woo!

Was she

in tune with our system of government.

Here she is yesterday where free speech is on trial.

The government is making the claim that their free speech is being limited

because they want to tell social media what to do

and their First Amendment rights are being trampled on.

Just so you know, the government doesn't have First Amendment rights.

The First Amendment right goes to the people, and it says that the government can't tell you what you can say and what you can't say.

Here is Justice Brown Jackson yesterday.

Justice Jackson.

So my biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways in the most important

time periods.

I mean, what would you have the government do?

I've heard you say a couple times that the government can post its own speech, but in my hypothetical, you know, kids, this is not safe, don't do it, is not going to get it done.

And so

I guess some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps.

to protect the citizens of this country.

And you seem to be suggesting that that duty cannot manifest itself in the the government encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information.

So can you help me?

Because

I'm really worried about that

because you've got the First Amendment operating

in an environment of threatening circumstances from the government's perspective.

And you're saying that the government can't interact with the source of those problems.

I'd love to help you with that.

I'd love to help you with that.

Let me help you.

And I appreciate your asking for help.

Don't usually experience that, you know, cry for help on understanding any of the amendments, let alone the first one from a Supreme Court justice.

But I appreciate your willingness to say, I really don't have a clue as to what I'm doing here.

See, we have a Bill of Rights that was built, our country is built unlike any other country in the world.

And our Bill of Rights came from a

founding era where they had been really living under the thumb of a tyrant.

And so they knew tyranny firsthand.

And it made them very, very skittish about governments and what they could do.

Because when governments speak, that's one thing.

The government can speak and say, hey, this is bad.

You shouldn't do this.

But when governments coerce people, especially businesses, well, they've got an awful lot of power, and that can turn into tyranny quickly.

Now,

the Bill of Rights was written,

and especially the First Amendment,

was written for those bad times.

You know, I know you're worried about,

well, I mean, freedom of speech is great unless things are, you know, troubled.

well okay but that's why they wrote this down

our

documents are a negative charter of liberties so it means that the bill of rights apply to the citizens but not to the governments the government cannot do anything to violate these rights and if you know it changes when there's trouble or when the government feels there's trouble

well then you don't really have the right, do you?

And you really don't have any shackles

on the presidency, the administration, or the government.

What you have actually is another Constitution written in 1936.

It was really great.

Because of the way, I mean, it was way advanced.

All voting restrictions were taken off.

Universal direct suffrage, the right to work, the right guaranteed by

the previous Constitution.

In addition, in 1936,

and by the way, I'm not talking about Germany, okay?

1936, the Constitution recognized the collective and social economic rights, including the right to work, the right to rest, the right to leisure, the health protection, care in old age and in sickness, and the right to housing and education and cultural benefits.

It was really a cutting-edge constitution because everybody wants that stuff, right?

You have a universal right to it.

And all of the government bodies had to help provide those things because you, the citizen, have a right.

And they went right direct election of all government bodies.

And they reorganized in 1936.

And they just

streamlined the government, you know, so there wasn't a lot of red tape.

So Article 122 in

the Constitution said that women are accorded equal rights with men.

Now, this is 1936.

Think about how advanced this is.

Women have equal rights with men in all spheres of economic, state, cultural, social, and political life.

In fact,

they were really the first one to make sure that there was, you know, kindergartens and a universal right to kindergarten and maternity leave and pre-maternity and protection of the mom and her interest.

It was really, really, really good in Article 122 and 123.

That was the equal rights for all citizens.

It was equity for everybody, irrespective of their nationality or their race in all spheres of life.

And they wanted to make sure that there was racial inclusiveness and no hatred or contempt or restrictions of rights and privileges on account of nationality or race.

And if you did any of these hate crimes, it was punishable by law.

So this is now the Soviet Constitution

of 1936, and it was the longest-running constitution of the Soviet Union, and it was great.

Article 124 guaranteed freedom of religion, including the separation of church and state, and school from church.

And 124, it ensured all citizens the freedom of conscience, freedom of religious worship, and freedom of any anti-religious propaganda recognized for all citizens, which was nice.

And in 124, Stalin, in the face of real stiff opposition there, eventually said, you know what?

Maybe we should talk to the Russian Orthodox Church.

Maybe we should allow them, you know, to exist.

And he did, kind of.

But it was all within the Constitution.

Because, see, this Constitution is

a Constitution of positive liberties, unlike ours, negative liberties, telling the government what it cannot do.

Theirs is a positive liberty, all the things the government must do.

And Article 125, remember this is 1936.

Article 125 of the Constitution guaranteed freedom of speech and the press and freedom of assembly.

Then

they said, look,

the Communist Party really needs to come together and we can have diversity in the Communist Party, but it's only one party in the free elections.

So

you could do that.

Now,

this Constitution was written in 1936,

and it was thoroughly Democratic, thoroughly democratic.

I mean,

yeah, once the writers of the Constitution and the organizers,

you know, finished it, they were imprisoned and or executed right after because they were counter-revolutionaries.

And, you know, you got to get rid of those people.

There were some people that were just too radical.

And they were the writers of the Constitution.

But, you know, that's an old dusty document.

You know, sure, it was written last week, but they didn't foresee everything.

So

they started

the Great Terror

is what it's called.

I don't know what happened during the Great Terror, but it coincided with the signing of the new Constitution.

But everybody was protected.

You could say whatever you want.

You know, you could look at the Great Terror or the subcategory of the Great Purge.

and say, hey, you know what?

They're stepping on those rights there of those people.

But they're people that the state really doesn't.

You know, the state really needs some authority to be, sure, you have a right to speak.

You know, you have the enjoyment of rights and freedoms of citizens.

But, I'm just quoting the Constitution, not to the detriment of the interests of society or the state.

So, if you saw something, you know, like

Kajondi, whatever her name is, Jackson, Brown Jackson,

whatever her name is, I love her.

And she is right.

When the state has an interest, because the state knows best, then we have to, you know,

restrain people from saying things.

So let me just, let me just quote Article 39.

Enjoyment of the rights and freedoms of citizens must not be to the detriment of the interests of society or the state.

Amen.

That's what she's saying.

I mean, they've been saying this since 1936 in the Soviet Union.

Article 59 obliged citizens to obey all the laws and comply with the standards of the socialist society as determined by the party.

So if the party said,

you know, let's just say

we can mutilate your children.

You can speak out about that.

I mean, you're going to have to go to jail for it because it'll be a hate crime.

In fact, hate crimes were even mentioned specifically in that night.

They were so far ahead.

They were just way, way, way, way, way, way, way ahead.

Because they were already on those hate crimes.

You know,

you don't have a right to say, you know,

for instance, here it is, quote,

the Constitution prohibits incitement of hatred or hostility

on any religious ground.

So you couldn't just, you know, say to the Bible, the Bible says this, if it incited hatred.

So, and the Constitution, you know, gave, you have a freedom of conscience.

You can do that.

You can profess or not profess any religion.

And

you can conduct religious worship or atheistic propaganda as long and I'm quoting as long as it's in the interest of the state

you see because they know better they know better

so Katanji I just I'm trying to help you because you asked for help yesterday

which I find just so

refreshing that a talk show host that's a recovering alcoholic and former DJ who is just completely self-educated,

you know, knows this stuff

better than

a Supreme Court justice.

But I think that's great, that you, you know, you're humble enough to say, I don't know my ass from my elbow.

I think that's great.

I really, I really do.

I really do.

So let's just remember

the government, you know, we have inalienable rights.

What does that mean?

I don't know.

Something about aliens from space, maybe, Katanji?

No.

Means no man can change those rights, alter those rights, or take away.

That's what inalienable means.

And in the Soviet Union, they didn't have that.

Okay, they didn't have inalienable rights.

You as a citizen can, and I'm quoting, enjoy rights when the exercise of these rights do not interfere with the interests of the state and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, they alone have the power and authority to determine policies for the government and society.

What a utopia that is.

Man,

if we could just model our Constitution on something as open-minded as this,

we'd certainly be fixed.

Kind of in the way my dog was fixed, but we'd be fixed, all right.

Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It is Relief Factor.

Nina wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.

She says, Relief Factor got me out of pain.

Now I can work in my flower garden.

I can walk my dog, run up and down the stairs without being in pain.

I used to not be able to sleep through night unless I had an ice pack on my knee.

I love Relief Factor.

10 Second Station ID.

See,

see, when people are free

and they're not micromanaged, things generally work out a little better.

Now,

if you're in Seattle, I know you're living in that great utopia.

Everything's going well with business.

Yes, Amazon just moved.

Boeing is on some sort of suicide mission.

And

you just...

you know, mandated higher delivery driver pay.

And it's great because now you can have somebody deliver right to your office or your home coffee that is only $26.

And I don't know about you, but I think $26 coffee,

how do I get it that cheap?

Or a sandwich for $32.

Man,

I'll never leave the house, you know.

Never leave the house, mainly because I won't have a house

or a way to leave it, you know, like in a car or something,

because I won't be able to pay for anything.

But I'm glad the government is looking out for everybody.

And, you know, let's raise that pay because more people, look, if you're driving and you're like, hey, I could make, you know, $50 an hour.

Who's not going to drive?

So we'll create all these new jobs and everybody will be drinking, you know, 26, 36, $75 cups of coffee, and it'll be great.

Hey, brother, can you spare a dime?

Why would I need a dime?

I don't need a dime.

I need 26 bucks for a cup of coffee.

You know, this is great.

Stu, would you like to chime in?

Well, yeah, I mean, I am, for one, bought all of the arguments on that one.

And I, look, I think we should just trust the government, let them come up with whatever, whatever.

Look,

the rights, as we all know, come directly from the government to the people.

The government allows us to do exactly what we want to do, but only when

they allow it.

And that's important.

Yes,

that is exactly the Soviet Union Constitution.

I'm glad

you're with that.

Because, you know, the government

in the Soviet Union, it was clearly stated in their constitution, rights come from the government.

I don't know what the problem is.

That place worked out to be a sweet, sweet ride.

Okay, let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's Pre-Born.

Every day that you and I wake up and draw breath, we should be thankful for the gift of life.

We should want to spread that gift to others.

There's so many people that are like...

Life doesn't matter.

My life doesn't matter.

It does.

It does.

We're all born for a reason.

And

once you just kind of of organize your life onto some universal principles, man, life changes and it gets so much better.

There are children now that are

being killed through abortion.

And much of it is because of, well, evil in some cases.

You know, I'm going to shout my abortion.

Okay, that's weird.

And maybe a little, just a touch of evil.

The rest of it is because of misunderstandings, propaganda, or fear, and well-founded fear.

Moms don't think that they have anybody to support them.

They do.

Welcome to the program

where I can give pretty much any legal advice, any legal advice.

You know, I'm a doctor currently.

This week, I'm just working on tennis elbow,

but I'll see other patients at other times.

But I also am about to become an attorney, and I'll tell tell you about that here in a second.

So I can answer any legal questions, any doctoral questions.

This is perfect because first of all,

I do have tennis elbow, so maybe we can talk about that later.

All right.

I can squeeze you in maybe around 3:30.

That sounds great.

That sounds great.

Secondly, I have some lawyering questions for you.

You should do some lawyering here right on the air if you're going to be a lawyer.

All right.

Okay, good.

I'll show you what a good lawyer I am.

Okay, go ahead.

In the Supreme Court arguing

that went on yesterday, they were talking about

this situation where the government.

I'd like to buzz in.

I'd like to buzz in.

Could we?

Okay.

Soviet Union Constitution?

Is that the answer?

Maybe.

No.

But you've answered too quickly, so you don't know.

The question

was: hey, what happens if someone is like Glenn Beck is doxxed on

Facebook and the FBI looks and they see it.

They say, oh, gosh, Glenn Beck is doxxed.

Now, with you, they probably would do nothing and let it slide completely because they know.

No, they were the ones who doxed me.

Yeah.

So it's actually on the official FBI Facebook page.

But

let's just say, for example, they cared about you and your life.

And they said, oh, gosh, Glenn Beck's bank account information, his passwords, they're all posted right there on Facebook.

Shouldn't they be able to go to Facebook and say, hey, pull these down because there's a crime being committed?

Well, I mean, I think if,

what do you think here?

It is a crime.

So,

yeah, perhaps if it is a crime, otherwise,

I mean, I'd rather go the old school way.

Glenn Beck has a right to sue Facebook for putting that up.

Well, let me start start earlier than that.

Facebook should have a way where you could actually talk to a human being.

Yeah.

Okay.

So you call up and you're like, hello, Facebook.

Yeah.

You've got information up about all my bank accounts and stuff.

Oh my gosh.

Let me send you over to the anti-doxing department here at Facebook.

Hello.

Yes.

We have a gentleman on the phone who has been doxed.

Oh my gosh.

How did that possibly happen?

Let me take it down right away.

And if you don't, I sue you.

Now, part of this is

you couldn't just sue, right?

Because there's a Section 230 thing that would get in the way of that because it's user-generated content.

That would be gone.

Well, again, are you asking to change all the rules?

Are you asking what they currently reflect?

Yeah,

you cannot dox people.

So, yes, I would say that if there's not already a law that you can't just spill my information out, then maybe

we should amend that.

Yes.

When it is a crime, I would think right away they would have the right to do that.

And I think

maybe there's a level of doxing that isn't a crime, right?

Like where you're taking publicly available documents and putting them out there on a controversial public figure.

Not that I thought about doing this to anyone who's currently talking to me.

And

it's all publicly available.

I don't know.

Maybe there's a line there.

The other one they brought up was: what about like a, you know, there's a trend on Facebook or Instagram where kids are jumping out of Windows.

And they want to be able to say to Facebook, hey, guys, like, we don't think the kids jumping out of windows trend is necessarily a good one.

We should be able to go to them and say, please pull down posts related to that.

Well, I personally, this is why I'm such a big advocate for the government mandating little teeny stickers for Windows that says Windows should not be used to jump out of.

Right.

You know,

that's what we would normally do here.

No, I don't think they have a right to tell them.

See, the problem is

the line of telling them and coercing them, they should be able to come out, you know, publicly and say,

this

is wrong.

What Facebook is doing is allowing people to jump out of windows.

But see, in my world,

everybody would say that.

And so Facebook would have the heat of the general population going, you're in human monsters.

All right.

And the government could come out and say, Facebook, you shouldn't do this.

This is wrong.

It makes us question, you know, are you even human?

But what happens is when they can pick up the phone and call them and say, hey,

you know, I know you're looking for some support from Washington.

I mean, this is a really nice company you built here, and I'd hate to see something happen to it.

You know what I'm saying?

Maybe you should pull that down.

That's the problem.

They're coercing them.

Yeah, and Alito.

They have a right to say it.

It's wrong.

Good, say it.

Yeah, Alito sort of made this point and that like it almost sounds like in a lot of these arrangements that they went over that the government

was the boss of these companies the the these companies were subordinates of the government which is not how this is set up um but so let me ask you let me ask you wait hang on just a second let me ask you if it was a local police department that was arresting people uh and charging them with parading and you know the

you knew what the law was, and the police department was doing overreach, and you had a government that you could actually go to and say, hey, this is this, there's something corrupt here.

You'd still go out and protest.

You wouldn't be breaking windows or anything else, but you would protest, and you would feel like your right to assembly, your right to question your government or that police department

would be would be protected.

But when the government itself is the corrupt one,

where do you go?

Where do you go for justice?

Where do you go to fix the problem?

Who do you call besides Ghostbusters?

Who do you call to say, hey, there's a river of slime that's running underneath the capital of the United States?

Who do you call?

I mean, if you've been to D.C., you know, it's actually come out onto the street level at this point.

But do you think,

because I think you're right, this is why

when you have these questions, you err on the side of limiting the government's power, right?

Because I think

to your point earlier, I don't think there is a line between persuasion and coercion when it comes to the government calling up some, imagine being some random Twitter employee or Facebook employee and getting a call from, or an email from Chuck Schumer's office saying, we think you should put this down, you know, we should take down this speech because of these reasons.

Well, what are you going to do?

Of course you're thinking, holy crap, like I'm either in major trouble, like the company's going to get sued, I'm going to be fired.

Why is that?

Why is that?

Because they have ultimate power.

Because they have ultimate power.

Exactly right.

Right.

So like you, there is no line there.

There's no like, hey, guys, do you mind pulling down this one post?

I know that you can't do that if you're the government, I don't think.

So the question is.

I think they can publicly say.

Publicly.

Yes.

That's what they can publicly.

Publicly say.

They can publicly say whatever they want.

It should be disclosed.

And that was the other thing.

I think the question here might just be whether this is a standing First Amendment violation, which

I would agree with your analysis earlier, that the government doesn't have those protections as an entity.

But the individuals maybe do, obviously, as people who work in the government.

But there's a question there.

I believe a law should be passed, though, that this should not happen.

There should not be behind-the-scenes coordination of removal of speech from government officials.

And I think at the very least, like maybe there is an example like the doxing thing or some level there where there could be some outreach from a government official to say, please put this down.

But like it should all be disclosed.

There should be a report that comes out every week that says, these are the 25 times we had to reach out to these companies.

Here's the exact reasons why we did it.

Like we should know immediately why this is happening so we can review and hold them accountable.

Because right now, we don't even know when they did it.

We're still, we probably don't even know a quarter of the times they actually did this.

And we don't know the topics.

We don't know any of that information.

We are a heavily regulated

industry, broadcast.

Yeah.

Okay.

Unlike the internet, we're heavily regulated.

How many times has the FCC reached out to you or me or anybody that you know?

Yeah, I mean, for me, I mean, I've obviously had an incredibly perfect career with no mistakes, so none, no, no times have they reached out to me.

So, zero for me as well.

The only time you hear from the FCC is when the

FCC is going to renew your station license, and that's when it can get political.

Well, who's reviewing?

What have you done?

Blah, blah, blah.

You can be straight down the aisle, but there's always a fear of political, they're trying to shut you down because you're a talk radio show, you know,

station.

But that so rarely happens, and it is always

exposed.

I don't know if it's ever been successful, but they've tried.

They've tried.

Then they came up with this idea, boycott the sponsors.

The government didn't have anything to do with that.

That was private individuals wanting to do that.

That didn't work really either.

But I've never heard from the FCC.

When you said to me, you know, there should be a report every week on how many times they have to call.

How many times they call?

What

business?

What business in the whole world has the government, the United States government and senators and everybody else calling them on a weekly basis?

What business?

I mean, I don't know.

I'm sure

the banking industry gets this right.

Like there are certain things that, again, are violations of the law.

They currently do.

If you're violating the law, but the law is so clear, you don't need to have

that constant conversation because that constant conversation becomes political quickly.

Yes,

I agree.

I don't think it should happen at all.

We certainly, if there is an exception that we're not thinking of,

it should be disclosed and we should always know about it.

You know, I mean, it has to be something that we have a chance to be able to reverse.

We didn't even know.

We didn't even know this was good.

I mean, we all suspected it was going on.

It certainly seemed like it was going on.

But until these emails came out, we didn't know for sure.

We should know for sure.

And if...

And if it was okay,

if they all felt, no, this is our responsibility,

why didn't they expose it?

Why didn't they disclose that they're doing all of this stuff?

Why?

Why'd they try to hide it?

Because they know it's against our Constitution.

Back in just a second.

I want to talk to you next hour about

being prepared.

And the way to prepare yourself with food

and any kind of emergency gear that you might need is my Patriot Supply.

There is a, you know, there's a, there's a problem in the country, and most people feel it.

There is a story that came out that now

prepping, if you will, being prepared has gone mainstream.

And there are people on all sides.

Yeah, there should be.

All Americans should know there's trouble ahead.

There's trouble ahead.

And we've got to be prepared and we've got to help each other.

The first thing you need to do is stock up on any kind of food that you might need for your family.

My grandmother used to do this all the time.

She lived in in the Great Depression.

She had a fruit cellar and she had canned soup and canned vegetables and everything that we might need, a year's worth in her fruit cellar.

That's what they would do all summer.

This is just the modern way of doing that.

It's mypatriotsupply.com.

MypatriotSupply.com.

Right now, you can get $200 off their emergency food kits.

I think these are four weeks.

No, these are three-month emergency food kits.

You get $200 off.

Protect yourself right now.

You can get that special at mypatriotsupply.com.

The Glenn Beck program will be right back.

So I see that Stu is hiding the real news that I am soon going to be

attorney at law, Glenn Beck, attorney at law, and I'll be able to answer all law questions.

You know, I grew up in Seattle, Washington, you know,

that whole Washington thing.

And I don't know if you know this, but

they have just in Washington state, they have just said, you know,

there's a problem with

people here in Washington that have been historically

marginalized, and they take the bar exam, and it's too hard.

And so

we think that we should, for those who have been historically marginalized, now I am twice

the amount of Native American than Elizabeth Warren is, which means I think my thumbnail,

all of my thumbnail, though, is Native American.

Okay.

I'm that much Native American, twice as much as she is.

And,

you know, we've been historically marginalized for a very long time.

And I am currently being marginalized, which I don't know if that, I don't know know if I have to die before my kids can say my dad was historically marginalized.

I don't know.

But that's one of those things I'm going to be settling when

I don't take the bar exam

in Washington state.

And it's fascinating.

I think that's going to be good.

Fascinating because there's been this discussion about how

if you lower standards, Don Lemon and Elon Musk had this conversation.

And this is about the time that Elon realized Don was the dumbest man who's ever lived.

But, you know, the idea that maybe that's not the way to go.

Maybe

not.

I just, I know it's no.

The law license, you know, the bar exam as a requirement disproportionately and unnecessarily blocks historically marginalized groups from entering the practice of law.

What are you saying about them?

Honestly, I'm a big fan of that dummy,

and those people have never been able to take the test, and that's that's history for you.

Dummies haven't been able to take the test.

I've been historically marginalized.

I want my turn at the bar exam.

You know what I'm saying?

Glenn, you saw Cabrinabrin.

Cabrini.

Yeah, you saw Cabrini, which was pretty impressive.

And you talked to me about it.

What was it?

Six months ago.

You still haven't seen it yet, huh?

I haven't yet.

I still haven't seen it.

I've been traveling.

What is wrong with you?

On the weekends.

I have not had a chance to get to the movie theater.

I want to see it in the theater.

I don't want to watch it on, you know, it's really good.

A screener.

I want to watch it in the theater.

It's a great film.

You were the one who kind of previewed this to me maybe six months ago because you saw a screening of it

before anybody.

And it is incredible.

We talked to the director.

This is a guy who's super accomplished.

The movie's beautiful.

And, you know, I mean, it's hard to believe that conservatives can actually make.

or, you know, movies like this, religious people can make movies like this.

They used to all suck.

I have to tell you, when you see this, when you see this, you will cheer for how far we've come.

This is a miracle of a movie, and it's not the only one.

I mean,

we are starting to best Hollywood.

And see Cabrini.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glen Beck Program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glen Beck Program.

Our history is changing.

We are being sold a load of goods bit by bit, but our...

The things that have always anchored us to our history are being lost slowly but surely.

I want to talk to you about a stupid revelation that I had this weekend.

I may be the dumbest guy on the planet,

but I had a revelation this weekend

and

I want to talk to you about that and preparation, which now the news media is saying preppers,

it's gone mainstream.

Well, good.

Good.

It should include everyone.

Everyone should be aware, hey, we're in trouble.

We're in real trouble, and we should be able to take care of ourselves, our families, and our neighborhoods, our communities without the government.

We should be able to do it ourselves if there's an emergency.

We're going to start there in 60 seconds.

Standby.

First,

you know,

you know that lived-in feeling your house has?

Years worth of kids running around spilling stuff, breaking things.

Yeah, it's nice and all, but when it comes to putting your house on the market, you know, it doesn't doesn't really, they don't really want that lived in feel, you know, so what are you going to do?

You got to know who to hire.

You got to know, you got to know who's really, really good, who can get the job done, who understands that you're on a budget,

and then can really say, this matters, this matters, this matters when it comes to selling your home.

If you have a real estate agent that has that Rolodex of people, has the experience, and is already one of the top sellers in your area,

it's not a coincidence.

They didn't get there because they have a catchy name or web address.

The reason they're successful is because they know the best business practices and they're good listeners and they also know that has to change for us to sell the house.

It's realestate agentsitrust.com.

All you have to do is call.

We'll put you in touch with the right real estate agent in your area.

All right.

London's Victoria and Albert Museum took some serious backlash over the weekend after it reported that an exhibit on British humor

had included the late Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher alongside Osama bin Laden Adolf Hitler in a short list of contemporary villains.

Humor.

Oh, it's art museum humor.

That's what it is.

Love it.

Look.

Another museum

from the University of Cambridge, also in Great Britain.

They're moving displays around and putting new signage up.

Now, the museum is denying that that their new inclusive and representative galleries were woke.

No,

that's not it.

They feel that some of the things that historically has belonged in the listen to this, historically has belonged in the category of art as belonging to civilizations

that were deemed to be part of the chain of being that led to our own glorious civilization, despite the fact that European artists are annexing or starting asiding artwork from Africa, it wasn't regarded as being part of the narrative

that

museums wanted to tell.

So here's what they're doing.

They have decided that they need to put signage up because some of the paintings of the British countryside,

yeah, you got it, can invoke dark nationalist feelings.

When you're seeing that countryside, you see a time and you're like, wow, that is, I love my country, and that can't be had.

No, sir, that leads to dark and terrible things when you love your country.

So they're putting signs up now that say this art could lead to dark nationalist feelings.

No, I don't have a problem with that.

I mean,

all we have to do is just, you know what we should do?

We should get rid of that art.

You know what I mean?

When, who was it that did this before in history, it worked out so well?

Where they just started saying that art is bad.

That art will make you do bad things.

That art isn't the quality that we, the overlords, now understand is not degenerative art, you know, not dangerous art.

And they burned a lot of that.

And it was great.

There were a lot of matches in that country for seemingly too long of a period.

But this is what we're doing now.

Glenn, you know, they say that like, oh, beautiful pictures of the countryside might make you into a nationalist.

But like, isn't it true that what really makes people kind of go farther than they would normally go are moves like this?

Like, did you ever feel as passionate about the

guy and girl kissing in Times Square photo

before

they decided to try to remove it?

Like, you know, it's a great picture.

Everyone knows it's a great picture.

It tells a great story of America, a great story of victory.

But it wasn't until they tried to take it away that I felt like this is a hill I'm dying on.

And they're doing the same thing with all this stuff.

They keep ripping away everything that makes you proud of your country and then acting like, well, it's you guys that are nationalists.

You guys are the ones that are crazy.

Well,

I don't think it's crazy, but I do think that it does make people more passionate and more vigilant on this stuff.

It's you trying to remove our history that gets people angry.

Yes,

totally agree with that.

However, they're not just removing it.

They're first degrading it.

They are taking, for instance, in this particular museum over in London, they are taking John Singer Sargent, probably one of the best portrait artists, you know, since, I don't even know, Michelangelo.

He is.

remarkable, remarkable from the 1800s.

They are now putting him with people who are,

you know, currently, Barbara Walker is one of them.

She's a contemporary painter, and she's a race obsessive.

And so they're putting her

next to John Singer Sargent, and not because they compare in art or anything else, but because they want to take John Singer Sargent and say, well, his sexual preference makes him the same kind of of artist that she is

because she's race obsessive.

What?

What kind of story is that?

So you're comparing art.

You're no longer looking at, I mean, I could spend a day in a museum just looking at a John Singer Sargent and just seeing the brushstrokes and how he did it and how easy it flowed from him.

I want to see masters.

I don't want to see a narrative, per se.

And I certainly don't want to go and say, well, John Singer Sargent,

yeah, he painted beautifully.

But what's more important is,

you know, might have been swinging for the other team.

No, it doesn't matter at all.

It doesn't matter at all.

So they first degrade the art by putting it next to something.

And I know nothing about Barbara Walker.

She might be really great I don't know

but by putting it into a completely different category and putting

art that is race obsessive next to it and changing the narrative of the art then what happens

you then start to have people even less interested in art because why do I care about somebody who died in 1889

and, you know, whose team he was pitching for?

I don't care about that at all.

Eventually, all of that art, because that art will have labels.

John Singer Sargent, you know, he did some of the famous portraits that, you know, hang in, you know, Parliament or wherever.

And the Queen commissioned him to.

Well, that's nationalistic art now.

And that really should be labeled because that could make you proud that you you were from the country that he was extolling.

And we can't have that.

And so they eventually just start to weed all this stuff out.

You know,

I have a good friend who, when I brought up the World War II picture, they don't agree with me.

And we were talking and I said, they are editing our history in real time.

time.

Things that are happening are being completely reframed.

For instance, the bloodbath statement.

If you're a fair arbiter of the truth, you know exactly what he was talking about when he said that there will be a bloodbath in Detroit

in the auto industry.

And what have they done?

They've completely rewritten that narrative in all of our news.

That's the historic record.

It's being edited in real time and changed in real time.

At the same time, they're also on the edges.

This is why everybody, everybody who is

an official and works for the government that has been there forever, they all need to be fired.

They all need to be fired because you don't know who's doing what.

When the VA is trying to edit out and make sure that that picture is not seen, the next thing that happens is it just disappears.

And by the way, if you don't have a hard copy of that picture, you may never be able to find it.

Have you ever looked for things that you know you've seen on the internet?

And you can't find that story?

You can't find that picture?

Why is that?

Now, our libraries are all digital.

All of them.

When you have, when you you don't have to go to the stack, if you will, at the university and go find that original book and look it up,

everything can be changed.

All of it can be changed.

What was written, I mean, they did this already with books.

They've been rewriting classic books to fit the woke.

I mean, that's dangerous.

Make things disappear.

I want to talk to you about preparation.

And let me first start with this.

If you were listening on Friday, I was having a bad day.

And

I was having a bad day because every day I see something in the news that I'm like,

this is, I mean, how do we wake more people up?

How do we make more people up?

So I did a lot of praying this weekend and I went to,

my faith has temples where you can go and pray and I prayed a lot and

and

I realized that

I don't have to worry about all those people

my job is to help you those who listen those with eyes and ears that hear and see

My job is to help you, and you probably already get it.

Most likely you get it.

And many of the people in the audience get it more than me.

And so

I'm here to hold your arms up and not to,

you know, rescue everybody or try to turn everything.

I can't.

I can't.

And that is too heavy of a burden for anybody.

And

it's really, it's really strange.

I feel so stupid because

I told my wife wife and she's like, yeah, of course that's, of course, that you, you do the show for the people who are listening and you help them, you concentrate on them.

And I'm like, yeah, but I didn't think of it that way.

I don't know how.

I don't think about it that way.

I was thinking about how do we get more people into the boat?

And I think the boat's already, you know, it's already offshore and we're in the boat.

And so here's the things that we should do while we're in the boat.

Because I've often said, I believe this audience is the one that's going to save at least in a remnant the country and

and so what do we do

well

let's start looking at that today I want to just talk to you about preparation and not just the kind of preparation that we've talked about with food storage and everything else.

That's really important.

And up at Glenbeck.com, we've put a lot of the prep articles that we have done in the past,

things that you should be asking yourself, things that you should be looking into securing for yourself and your family.

Even if you think you're prepared, you're not.

But you can only do what you can do.

And everyone in this audience should be doing that because we're the ones that

I think have a real responsibility to be peacemakers and to be decent and to follow the Constitution, always fight for the Constitution and

the Republic

as it stands,

following the Bill of Rights and the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

That's how we can really be of help, is just constantly raise that flag.

But I want to talk to you now about something else, about preserving our history, because we can't do it by ourselves.

We need a lot of people on this.

I'll give you that here in 60 seconds.

Standby.

Our sponsor this half hour is Jace Medical.

One of the biggest parts of taking care of your family is taking care of their health.

Jace came up with this, I don't know, a few years ago.

And I was talking to the guys who own Jace

and had this idea.

And it started because they lost somebody in the company that could have been saved had somebody been prepared.

And so they started with all kinds of things like medical kits in your car.

And then they branched off and they put antibiotics together for your family.

They now have children's antibiotics that you can have in your home in case there's a breakdown.

It's always be prepared.

Now they are moving into

all your medications.

So if you have, and they're adding new medications every day, if you're taking heart medicine or something like that, you can get that medication so you don't have to worry if there's a shortage.

You can use that medication

and have a year's worth supply for your family.

That should be adequate for just about anything.

10 seconds, station ID.

So I had a prompting about 2008, and I didn't understand what it meant.

And it was about clay pots.

And I didn't understand that until one day I said, the people we are fighting against will

take our sacred American scripture, our Declaration of Independence and our Bill of Rights, and they will destroy them.

They'll destroy them because they hate this system.

And it's already begun.

The National Archives have already

labeled some of these documents, like our Declaration of Independence, as triggering.

No, that's not a triggering event or a document at all.

That is a glorious document.

So I set out to preserve.

We have a 1820 engraving of the first draft of the Declaration of Independence.

I've purchased the stone copy of the Declaration of Independence, which was made.

If you've ever seen the Declaration of Independence, it's faded ink.

It's because that copy was made by putting solvent on the original and then putting rice paper down and lifting up some of the ink so they could make a copy of it.

I've done

probably

put,

I don't even know, $20 to $30 million

into

these

sacred things that need to be preserved.

And my prompting has been clay pots needs to be like the Dead Sea Scrolls.

I don't know where, but they need to be just protected and maybe lost for a long time.

Hopefully not, but if things got really bad, they need to be protected.

And I would ask you to do the same now.

And I would ask you to start buying books that are important.

And I will help you with a list on this.

I would suggest that you maybe, if you're really,

if you feel this is a calling,

I would get some acid-free paper, and I would start printing some of the documents and the things,

for instance, our founding documents, but also some of the things that are coming out today.

So you know the truth of studies, you know the truth of

what happened

as much as we can on

Wuhan, et cetera, et cetera, and start preserving our actual daily history as well as our

past history because it is all being rewritten and digitized, and somebody has to have a copy of what really is happening now and has happened in the past.

If you care to join me on this, we'll have more on that perhaps tomorrow.

And more online now at glennbeck.com.

Going back to the Supreme Court here in just a second.

First, let me tell you about good ranchers.

If there's no mRNA vaccine in the ham,

is it really even Easter?

You know what I mean?

Yeah, they're putting that in our meat now.

And,

you know, if they can get you with the Fauci-Ouchie of,

I mean, you know, with kung flu pork, I guess, they got you.

I don't like these things, these experimental things in my food.

I don't give them to my cattle, and I don't want to give them to my cattle.

And I like to be able to eat things that I know what's in them.

Right now, Good Ranchers has the say no to mRNA sale.

Good Ranchers is offering you a free 10-pound Easter ham if you have any subscription.

Yesterday,

I witnessed something I didn't think I would ever witness in America, a Supreme Court justice

trying to, I guess, make the case that the government can override the First Amendment.

You know, I mean, if it's a situation where kids are jumping out windows.

Wow, I've never heard that before.

But there was a case that was heard yesterday, Murthy versus Missouri, originally filed as Missouri versus Biden, and it concerns whether the federal government officials had violated the First Amendment by coercing or significantly encouraging social media companies to remove or demote

particular content from their platforms.

This is on various topics, but really COVID-19 was the big one.

And

we have the guy who filed the original suit when he was AG of Missouri.

He's now the senator from Missouri, Eric Schmidt in Washington.

Hello, Eric.

How are you?

I'm good, Glenn.

How are you?

What did you think about what happened yesterday?

How do you think it went?

Well, I think it's always difficult to gauge based on the questions asked by the justices.

I think

it's a fair question and a gate and a question that's often asked.

It's just it's difficult to really gauge where individual justices are at based on some of the questions because most of what they'll be considering as they move towards a decision probably sometime in June is the briefs and the record that had been submitted.

So sometimes those questions are meant to sort of fill in some gaps.

The question you're referring to, I think, was,

you know, isn't the First Amendment a hindrance to the government in this instance or in the hypothetical?

And of course it is.

That is like, that's the point, is that the First Amendment is actually

was put there by our founders because they knew exactly what the government might want to do.

And if the idea was protecting individual liberty and your ability to speak your mind and be a dissenter, that ought to be a hindrance to the government.

So anyway, but so that question was somewhat revealing, but I still feel good about it.

Here's the the best news of all of this, Glenn, is

early on in the litigation, when we filed the case in May of 2022, we were able to get discovery before the preliminary injunction hearing, which we won, which was essentially affirmed by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and now is in front of the court.

Why is that important?

Because the record is filled now with emails and text messages about how the federal government, we should be partners with Facebook and they want answers, exclamation point.

They had regular meetings.

They had censorship meetings.

They had constant pestering.

They suggested new rules.

Tell us what you're going to do.

Literally 20 plus thousand pages of this kind of evidence of how the government was coercing these social media companies to do their will.

And I think that hopefully will carry the day.

So the problem here is that coercion, you don't have a partnership with the government.

You might think you do, but in the end, the government wins because the government can do all kinds of things to you, and you have nobody to run to for help.

And the government cannot be the final arbiter of truth.

It cannot be.

Our founders were really clear on this, and then again later, they hashed it out because of the Sedition Act.

And

they made it very, very clear that if the government is the one that decides what the truth is

and is the final arbiter of truth, truth will be lost.

And I think

if the government hadn't been and didn't have taken on the role of being the arbiter of truth and silencing people about the vaccines or whatever, they just would have let it go.

Science, I don't think, would have been discredited the way it was.

I don't think the vaccine, you know, anti-vaccine movement would have grown as much as it has.

they caused the problems by trying to shut people down.

People don't like that.

That's right.

And I think that, you know, people often say power corrupts.

Probably more appropriately

described, power reveals.

And you had a situation during COVID where it was an emergency or perceived emergency, and people used it to aggregate, accumulate, and exercise power in ways that I don't think many of us us really believed could happen in the United States of America.

I think it's important to put us back in that time.

And regardless of how the government feels about what you should be doing, to your point, individuals get to make these decisions.

And that is what was so dangerous about what was happening: you had this wasn't just a one-off from some actor or two.

This was a leviathan of government agencies working in concert to quell dissent, to shut down dissent, whether it is on the lab league theory, the Hunter Biden laptop story, origins of COVID, the efficacy of masks, all of that.

The full force of the government was at play to silence people.

And if we believe in this country, which we do, I do, you do, that fundamental human expression is a right given to us by God.

And government's role is really there to protect that right, to secure those rights, certainly not to infringe upon them.

So let me play.

That's why this case is so important.

Let me play devil's advocate.

Yes, but we're at war.

There is a, let me use a real one that I know they have already wargamed and I think is the International Bank or the World Bank has come out with their recommendations.

If currencies begin to collapse, if the world starts to go into a real slide, that people who disagree with the actions of the central banks of the world must be silenced because even if they're right, they will harm all of the safety mechanisms that the governments are trying to put into place.

So they'll do more harm

even if they're right.

That's their point of view.

Yeah, and so that's going to happen.

And

the government will

use any event to silence people.

And a lot of people, like they did in COVID, will say, well, we have to protect everything.

How do you answer that?

Yeah, well, you sort of heard yesterday this this similar vein when it was referred to by the government's lawyer as a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Okay.

First of all, to your point, this is a playbook in many ways because what you'll have now, we're already hearing the language change on climate issues.

It went from, you know, global cooling to global warming to climate change.

Now it's a climate emergency, right?

So the language has shifted even on that particular issue.

And the example that you give, the Constitution, what's important to remember is the constitution doesn't have a pandemic exception it doesn't have a world bank emergency exception the constitution was created really for those most difficult times when government actors really really want to do something and they really really think they're right The point is that we get to make those decisions.

It's like with the vaccine mandate.

I actually had the case, the OSHA, you know, those cases that went to the Supreme Court on the vaccine mandate and we won at the Supreme Court.

And my contention all along was on whether it was the vaccine or masks.

Give everybody the information and let them make their own decisions.

But you saw the left really gravitate towards, no, no, no, we don't really care about reasonable debate.

We don't care about any of that.

Just, you know, take the shot, put the damn mask on.

That was their point of view.

That's not going to change when we have the next thing.

And so that's why this case is so important, because if the government actually thinks that they can pressure social media companies to do their bidding, they don't get to get around the First Amendment by contracting that out to private parties.

And Glenn, one last point on this.

The reason why the coercion piece fits here in particular is these companies live and die by their Section 230 protections.

They're immune from lawsuits.

So if you don't think that was being wielded here as a threat or antitrust investigations or all those sorts of things that the government, we've seen this administration do to Catholics or to

pick the opponent, they

mobilize and weaponize government.

That was always at play here.

And so I think that whether it's

the,

you know, it's that standard or it's the, you know, sort of the cooperative standard, whatever you want to use, the government was very intent here on silencing speech, and they don't get to do it in around the Constitution by outsourcing that to big tech.

And they also endorsed speech during the same period by saying, you can't protest outside about COVID.

You can protest for BLM.

And so they were endorsing speech as well and setting a precedence there.

That's the problem with the government having the lever of what speech is approved and what isn't.

You don't have a real free democracy, or in our case, a republic,

if they can do that.

And everyone knows if you're thinking about going and

praying at an abortion clinic, you now know the government has been weaponized against you.

If you're going to go into a store and you're going to just go steal all the makeup from a makeup counter, you know you have a better chance of getting away with it because the government has laid off that kind of stuff.

So

they're directing our society just by leaning one way or another.

And if you don't think that the, I mean, you cannot have, I've never had calls from the FCC.

I've done this job for almost 50 years.

I've never had a call from the FCC.

I know when our license is up for renewal and everybody at the radio station, we get nervous about, hey, what did you say?

Because we don't want any trouble.

We don't want any letters going to the FCC.

They know the power of that.

But the FCC, at least in my case, has never exercised itself like that.

They've tried, they've attempted, but it never stood.

These guys were calling these social media companies daily and saying, you know, you got a nice company that'd hate to have something happen to it.

That's the mob.

Yep.

No, that's right.

And I think what is, it's interesting you brought up the whole protests in the summer of,

you know, you saw that in 2020.

And then COVID.

And then really when Biden came in in 2021, he did all the things he said he wasn't going to do.

He said he wasn't going to be a mandate.

You know, all these sorts of things that came into it.

I think it just, like I said, it just revealed.

And I think that the modern Democrat Party, which the energy and the money and everything is now squarely on the left here.

You look at what's happened with the border.

These are not things that certainly, even Barack Obama, as terrible of a president he was, wasn't really advocating for an open borders policy.

That's where we're at now.

Liberals, I'm 48.

I remember when liberals actually cared about free speech, not anymore.

And so we've gotten to a place now where they have crossed the Rubicon.

And really, it's not about process or principles.

It is about results and power and control.

And I think that more people wake up to that, they'll realize how important it is to stand up and say no.

You know, I dissent.

I object.

I'm the guy in the Norman Rockwell, you know, classic portrait where he stands up.

And that's what we need more of in this country.

And so that always motivated me.

It certainly did in the filing of this lawsuit.

I only have 30 seconds for an answer here, but

is this the closed door, hopefully, on any of the government

speech control efforts, the Nina Jankowitz stuff?

Yeah, I mean, certainly the Disinformation Governance Board, I think, but their mistake there was they were probably pretty too open about it.

What we have to be on guard is that it's more loosely tied and it's not named something like the Ministry of Truth, right?

So I think we have to be on guard.

They're still not acting in concert.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

Thank you so much.

This Senator Eric Schmidt from the great state of Missouri, who filed the original lawsuit as AG in Missouri

against the government.

And the government responded by saying they're violating my First Amendment rights at the White House.

You don't have them.

Anyway, let's let's talk to you a little bit about rough greens.

If you ever teach your dog to do, you know, tricks, especially your old dog, when you're teaching your dog, you know, roll over, sit, go to the kitchen and cook me a healthy meal, grab a beer from the kitchen, things like that.

Dogs are smart, but not usually that smart.

Your dog needs a lot of nutrients that he doesn't get in his food, and his body knows it, but he doesn't know it.

If your dog's not eating, it's probably because he's not getting the things that his body knows.

If your dog is eating grass, there's a reason.

The dog's body needs something that it's not getting.

You can get all of the nutrients back from your kibble food.

It's all been sterilized, so there's nothing alive in it.

Rough Greens is not a dog food.

It is something that you sprinkle on the dog's food.

Brown food, dead food.

You want the green stuff.

Eat a salad.

Oh, my gosh.

The folks at Rough Greens are so confident your dog is going to love it that they have a special special deal for you.

You just go to Rough Greens, R-UFF Greens.com slash Beck, or call 833-Glenn33.

833-GLN33.

They're going to give you your first trial bag for free.

All you pay for is shipping.

Call 833-Glenn33.

Call them today.

You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck.

Sit tight, boys and girls.

We'll be right back after these messages.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

We're glad you're here.

Coming up next, we've got Tamara Pitsky.

She is a mental health therapist.

She is a pediatric gender medicine whistleblower.

Her story is incredible, and the people who are standing with her are incredible.

We're going to talk to her in just a couple of seconds.

And our interview with Don Lemon.

No, I'm kidding.

We wouldn't do an interview with Don Lemon.

What a dolt he's turned out to be, huh?

No, he was adult a long time ago and has continued to be adult.

He has not turned out to be adult.

Yeah, well, you never know.

There's always hope.

There's always hope.

Apparently, Don Lemon demanded a Tesla Cybertruck, a private jet flight to Los Angeles, to Las Vegas and a suite for him and his fiancé, $5 million

while he was in talks with Tesla,

and a $8 million salary.

Now,

I have to tell you, first of all, you know, if you're getting $5 million in advance and you have a $8 million salary, Go ahead and buy the Tesla Cybertruck.

I think you can afford it.

You know, I think you can afford it.

I think you have that.

But I believe the title of genius

should be reconsidered

with Elon Musk if he ever got serious with

Don Lemon.

I don't think he did,

but what a dolt he is.

And is, we've got to go over his interviews, Du.

Maybe next hour, at the end of next hour, because, oh my gosh,

the fact that he thinks that Elon Musk can't handle a tough interview after you see this, oh my gosh, what a dolt.

Our trade relationship with China is a joke.

We've been giving them pretty much open access to absolutely everything.

We get nothing in return.

And we have been shipping our jobs offshore forever.

It's time to reverse that process.

And one of the companies that really is really leading the way is American Giant.

Everything Everything that we buy clothing-wise, 99% actually the exact number is 97% of it is made overseas.

That can't stand.

We've got to bring our manufacturing back to America.

And American Giant is doing that.

They rescued a clothing factory in North Carolina, retooled, retrained, and now it is thriving.

This thing was closing down.

It's thriving and they make some of the best American clothes out there.

You can find cheaper clothes, but you're not gonna find better clothes and not gonna find everything

that is made here in America.

We're gonna stay together

if we're gonna survive.

Stand up straight

and hold the line.

It's a new day, a time to rise.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I have to tell you, I love it when people of different walks of life,

perhaps, you know, we disagree on a whole bunch of things, but we agree on principles, come together.

I want to tell you the story of Tamara Pitsky.

She's a mental health therapist, pediatric gender medicine whistleblower now.

She was,

she got her master's in social work from the University of Washington, who's living in Seattle.

And she expressed concern as she was working at multicare, one of the state's largest hospital systems.

And she expressed concerns about this, you know, gender-affirming care.

She was bullied.

She was dismissed

a couple weeks before her whistleblowing article came out in the free press.

Multi-care.

She went from there to another practice where she only lasted a couple of weeks.

She can't find a job now because

she's a whistleblower.

Good for her.

Wait until you hear about the other people that are helping her.

This is a fantastic story.

We give it to you in 60 seconds.

Stand by.

First, our sponsor this half hour is American Financing.

God has not given us a spirit of fear.

Fear does not come from any place above.

High interest credit card debt, that comes from below and that will cause some fear.

If you're a homeowner right now, one of the people who's living under fear because you just can't seem to catch up, please take 10 minutes out of your day today and call American Financing.

I've been talking about American Financing since

right after the crash of 2008.

I had talked to them.

They had wanted to be a member of my show and an advertiser on the show.

And I said, I don't believe in any mortgage company right now.

You guys are all about to collapse and collapse the country with you because you've all been greedy pigs.

And American Financing said, no, no, no, not so fast.

We're not.

And I said, well, you call me after this thing comes apart and we'll see how your clients fared.

They They didn't have any problems.

I took them on as a client then.

They don't charge any upfront or hidden fees.

They don't work for the banks.

They work for you.

They have over, what, 7,200 Google reviews, 4.7-star rating.

They work

for you.

Last year, the average listener of mine that went there saved $826 a month.

Please see if they can help you.

I know that the federal government mandated that little thing, and I feel so much safer now as I understand what it all means.

And wow, do I feel safe?

Anyway, Tamara Pitsky is with us now.

Tamara, how are you?

Fine.

Thank you so much for having me.

Sure.

So can I ask you, you're from, I'm from Seattle, but I moved away long before the madness set in.

Yeah.

You went to the University of Washington.

I'm guessing we don't necessarily agree on a lot of policy things.

You seem like a really nice person.

who has just seen some injustice here

and

I guess kind kind of reluctantly stood up.

Yeah, I mean, I've not considered myself political in any sense and somehow I just kind of ended up in this position, you know,

and it's been incredibly difficult.

I just can't believe how.

So it

but what you stood up for, it's not political, is it?

Well, I didn't think so, but I'm learning it in a lot of people's minds that it is.

You know, I thought I was just trying to protect kids, and now I'm realizing that people are so quick to say, you know, things about me that are political or that I'm transphobic or something.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So

tell me what happened at Multicare.

Sure.

So there was a mandated gender-affirming care training in September.

And when I found that out, I started doing some research.

I was like, I don't know that I feel this.

I think this might not be, you know, this is bad news.

And so I started doing some research, went to the meeting, asked some questions like, hey, why are we mandating this of our clinicians if countries in Europe are pulling back and saying, you know what, I don't think that is the right way to handle gender distressed use?

And

they were horrible to me.

They said leave politics out of this, which is the first time I thought, I was like, what does that even mean?

Like, I had no idea that people thought this was a political issue.

People said I was doing harm to clients, that I was transphobic.

I started, after that meeting, I talked with my boss, the leader of the meeting,

and just tried to like air my concerns with them and see if maybe somebody would listen to me.

At no point did anyone ever say, okay, yeah, let me see that article that you're reading.

Let me look at that for you so that we can have a conversation.

They were just like completely shut me down.

And then when I presented specific client issues, I always reported to risk management and I thought, okay, finally, risk management and I can have a conversation.

We can look through these clients' charts, figure out like, no, this is not, it's not good for this child to start testosterone.

They've got so much else going on.

And rather than have that conversation, they decided that I was the risk, not the testosterone, that I was the risk and that they took my client from me.

So

this had to seem like a movie that you were trapped in.

It was crazy making.

I was like,

am I losing my mind?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So

what were the things that you were pointing out?

I mean, Europe is usually ahead of of us medically and much more,

I don't mean this

in a political way, but much more progressive or liberal on medicines.

And

them pulling out has, especially when we're talking about Sweden and Norway, when those countries start to pull out of something,

they're usually so progressive that it should make a huge statement.

That didn't play a role in, they didn't even talk about it with you?

No, they didn't even address it at all.

And so that's when I started to realize, like, okay, we aren't actually protecting the kids here.

We're protecting an ideology.

Like, I'm trying to advocate for the kids.

And the other side here is like, no, I won't hear any of that.

We're just going to go full steam ahead with this like ideology that we're

holding to so rigidly, you know?

I'm not an expert in all the different areas of this field of study, but I know enough to know that 80% of gender distressed youth typically outgrow it by the time they're adults.

But rather than letting them like progress through that and just kind of figure out who they are, as any adolescent does, we're medicalizing them.

If they come in at 13 and say, I want to be a man, then we're like, okay, sounds great.

Like, there's no, there's nothing that we do to like

determine, are you going to be of that 20% who's going to persist in this as an adult?

We don't have any way to determine that.

And so we're just letting these young people diagnose themselves and decide their own medical treatment.

And they just don't have the mental capacity to consent to that at 13 or even 20.

What does this lead to when

science becomes politicized and there's no longer

reason

You know, because

you can disagree with science, but when it becomes the science, when it becomes the authority,

and

nothing can change its mind, it's no longer science, is it?

I don't think so.

I think people are just,

like I said, they're defending an ideology at this point.

And when I try to present studies and other

evidence to people, they just don't hear it.

They don't hear it at all.

So,

yeah, I don't know.

It's just

the other, the other people, the other people in your profession,

do they just not see it?

Are they not as brave as you to come up and step forward?

What's happened to the profession?

I really think that it's like a cult mentality for a lot of people.

They think that they're doing good.

I don't think everybody thinks that.

I think the higher up you go, the more people are aware that this is a corrupted situation that we're in.

But I think a lot of my colleagues really think they're doing good.

And so then they're quick to villainize me.

Like in that meeting there was 122 people and after that meeting four of them reached out to me and said thank you for saying something i'm too scared to but everyone else as far as i know had just kind of like decided that i was the enemy you know

so you then went to work someplace else and you were let go after two or three weeks

yep just mysteriously they're like we don't think you're a good fit for this position and so now i'm a single mom of three trying to live live off of a GoFundMe or a give, send, go

and can't get a job.

The state's coming after my license.

Like it's just been craziness.

The state's coming after your license as well.

Yeah, I found out on Friday they said because I wasn't being gender affirming.

So I didn't refer to the clients in the article by their chosen pronoun and suggested that gender dysphoria is a mental illness.

Have you thought about moving?

Oh, yes, I've thought about moving.

If I could scoop up every single person that I love and leave the state, I would so quickly.

Yeah.

It's just not that easy.

You know, I just, I don't know.

Yeah, I know.

It's madness.

To be like, I know, it is madness.

Yeah, to be like, hey, I'm worried that we're hurting kids and for them to not even, for them to be like, I don't think you should be a therapist.

Like, you're hateful and transphobic.

Like, that blows my mind.

Like, I'm just trying to make sure that we're not hurting kids.

Like, I don't understand how this is suddenly being turned on me where I'm the enemy.

It's just, I guess I'm just so naive in that way.

Like, I just didn't see that coming.

How's your family handling it?

Fortunately, my kids are young.

They have no idea that anything shifted.

And I'm very grateful for that.

I will tell you that.

You know, when I started doing what I do now, because I was never really political either.

And when I started doing this, and especially when I went to Fox from CNN, I said to my children at the time, I said, I'm going to be made into just a monster.

And the only thing that matters to me is that my family and my kids know who I am.

And if you ever hear of something, you bring it to me and we can talk about it.

And I'll admit my mistakes.

And my kids

are my biggest defenders, not necessarily of everything I say, but they know who I am, and that's all that matters.

Your kids are going to be very proud of you in the end.

You're doing the right thing.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That's my hope.

And it helps to hear that that was your experience with your family as well.

Yeah.

So you're working with, or they're supporting you, the LGBT Courage Coalition, which

I love that.

I've never heard of these guys.

I think I love these people.

This is so great.

Yeah.

So if I understand what they do, this is

gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender.

And they are, they're living their life, but they're saying this is bad medicine for kids.

And they're standing up for kids against their own community.

You want to talk about pariahs.

They've got to be massive pariahs in their community.

Yeah, I don't know what I couldn't have navigated all of this without them.

They have been incredible.

And I think it's so important for other people that have concerns about stuff to know that this organization is there.

Like they can help support you through it.

You know, it's so important that

it was founded.

I want to do an interview with them.

I didn't know they even existed.

Man, I'm sure they would love to see that.

Yeah,

they are amazing.

And so

they're raising money for you, and

they have a goal of $80,000, which is

money that you can live on until you can find a job.

And you go to givesendgo.com slash whistleblower Tamara, T-A-M-A-R-A, Tamara, givesendgo.com slash whistleblower Tamara and

give.

Thank you so much for talking to us.

And

boy, if you ever get down, just please call because uh you know i know a lot of people who have been there i've kind of been there myself and uh it's really hard you feel alone but know that you're not you're really not

i really really appreciate that thank you

thanks tamara bye-bye

i just that is that is such a great story such a great story um oh well no i kind of think it's the opposite

yeah it's a bad story but

it's good to see not only she standing up and it's fascinating to me.

This is going to happen to so many people.

I don't know when this became political.

That's going to happen to almost everybody who right now is just

and they're going to step into something and they'll say, no, but this just made sense.

Yeah, the world changed overnight and you weren't paying attention.

But for her to hold her ground and then for this LGBT group to come in, man, I have respect for them.

That's fantastic.

All right, let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

They have been saving lives in Israel forever.

I think they may have actually protected my life.

They didn't save my life, but I think they actually protected my life.

I was in Israel.

And

I was walking around with the mayor.

I'm trying to remember what town it was, but it's right on the border with Gaza.

And

a rocket came across.

And the mayor grabbed me, and we went into this little bomb shelter.

And the bomb went off.

Later, he gave me the rocket.

I have it at my house.

He gave me the rocket that tried to kill us.

And it wasn't targeting us.

It was just targeting any Jews.

That shelter, I believe, was put there by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

And right now, they are trying to put them in places like bus stations where the kids get picked up for school.

So if a rocket goes off, they have something they can duck into.

These bomb shelters saved so many people.

But now they have no place to go.

They need, I think it's 170 bomb shelters for the bus stops for the kids.

They're $15,000 apiece.

So that's, you know, $2.5 million.

I would like to see if we can do this, if we bless Israel, we bless our country.

We need to be the people that we have claimed we wanted to be.

I've always admired people like Corey Tenboom.

And

when that got tough, Her father, Christian, no need to do this.

Her father went as they were handing out the stars and said,

I want a star.

And the German said, you don't have to.

You're a Christian.

And he said, no, I'm a Jew today.

If they wear one, I wear one.

We're all brothers.

That's crazy, gutsy.

And that's the kind of person I'd like to know and be around.

And if you're like that with me, then join me, will you?

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, every donation is urgently needed to give this life-saving support support to this organization, you just go to supportifcj.org.

Supportifcj.org.

Your donation is going to be matched.

So if you give $100,

somebody else is giving another $100 to match it.

So we only have to raise just over a million to get all of these bus shelters for the kids in Israel.

Please go to supportifcj.org.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

There's all kinds of stuff on Blaze TV that you need to see.

We released our third installment in Blaze original series available only to Blaze TV Plus subscribers.

It's Texas versus the Feds, how the elites use the border crisis against us.

It's pretty,

it's,

it says a lot

about

the entire political system.

Because what we exposed in this was there's a lot of games being played down on the border by both the Democrats and the Republicans.

You know,

there was a secret meeting in Mexico.

between Anthony Blinken and the president of Mexico.

And all of a sudden, all of the Texas border crossings,

it was very, very rare that anybody was crossing them.

It was after that, a few days after those border crossings started to go down, that

Greg Abbott, our governor, said, you know what, we're taking over the border.

We're going to make sure that that border is secure.

And then took the credit for the drop in illegals coming across.

Is that a game?

What is that?

Is anybody serious about it?

Make sure you see our third installment in Blaze Originals documentary series available only to Blaze TV Plus subscribers.

It's not mandatory that you watch Studas America.

You don't have to.

Coming up, we're going to talk to you about

the great idea of

electric cars and how well that's going and what the White House is doing now that it's falling apart.

You're going to love it.

Next.

Glenn Beck.

So our debt load is now rising at the rate of $1 trillion

every 100 days.

Who can say Weimar Republic?

That is a staggering amount of money that our government is just blowing out all of the time.

So

what do we do?

What do we do?

Well, we vote.

We try our best to get these people to stop.

But I would also prepare.

I would strongly recommend gold or silver.

And our client for gold and silver now has changed.

Business changes.

It used to be goldline.

It's now Lear Capital.

Lear Capital was one one of the two that I was picking from on which one I was going to go with.

And I really didn't really have a choice, kind of.

I found out because

Rush had Lear Capital and they had no interest in a little upstart.

And Goldline and Lear, I love both of them.

Lear Capital, because they are wanting to introduce themselves to you, you will get $250 towards your purchase of gold or silver.

Please do it now.

800-957-GOLD, 800-957-GOLD, 800-957-GOL, do it now.

Just a few minutes ago, I had Tamara Pitski on.

She is a mental health therapist out of Seattle.

She was educated at the University of Washington.

She was working for one of the big hospitals in Seattle.

She had been working there for six years.

She's been

a medical social worker or health therapist for 12 years.

She walked into the booby trap of saying,

wait, I don't think this gender affirming care is scientifically sound.

I don't think we should do it.

She was surprised that all of a sudden it became political.

And she was like, no,

I don't even know what you mean by that.

um and it it is a giant booby trap and this is the end

uh of the road this is where it always ends when you start saying no not handicapped handicapable

and now america can understand something that i have said since the 90s political correctness is not good Political correctness is a tool used in the former Soviet Union.

You have to align your thoughts with the leadership of the country,

with the party.

And if you don't, they'll destroy you, or they'll send you to a nice little camp where you can receive some new information so you can become politically correct.

That's where we're at, because this is not science anymore when you're not even reading studies, when you're not even looking at the people who have pioneered a lot of these studies over in Sweden and in Great Britain and France, when you just dismiss those studies that say, Whoa, wait a minute, we were going down this road, but we think this is actually dangerous, it's no longer science, it's political.

So, let me give you another one.

Right now, Hertz,

the car rental agency, they are

they wanted to be all EV,

and this year they're trying to

dump their EVs.

They had a transition of their entire fleet

that was supposed to be done by 2024.

But once they started transitioning, they had about 25% of their fleet.

They have to sell them now because they can't make money on them.

They're much more expensive to fix.

If there's a car wreck, it's like twice the amount for some reason.

They don't hold their value.

Nobody wants to buy a used one.

They don't know what to do with them.

And nobody wants to rent them because you're in a strange city.

I don't know where these things can be charged.

That's the worst thing that you would have if you're in a strange city is an electric car that you're worried about where can I park it to charge it.

So they have started dumping these things.

Now, the Biden administration has just come out and they are going to complete the regulations this week designed to punish gas-powered vehicles to pave the way for electric vehicles whose average cost is twice as expensive as the average sub-compact car.

In its proposed rules that they're going to make this week, remember, we're not voting on these things anymore.

Why?

Why isn't Congress debating these things?

Why is some pencil pushers, along with the administration, able

to get rid of your cars, possibly destroy, not possibly, it's going to.

It'll be a bloodbath in Detroit.

Destroy the automaking industry in America.

How can that be done by just a room full of people that you never elected?

You don't even know know who they are.

So, the Environmental Protection Agency wants to target vehicles that would phase in over model years of 2027 through 32, stating, quote, EPA finds it appropriate to set new standards for model years after 2026 for both criteria, pollutants, and GHG at this time, rather than continuing its prior approach of coordinating the standards, but setting them in separate regulatory actions.

This is not going to do anything.

This is just going to cripple the gasoline market.

You can't sell the EVs.

Nobody wants them.

What is the sign of fascism?

You do it because you're told.

You do it because you've not been given any choice in the matter.

We are putting ourselves in such jeopardy by destroying our manufacturing,

the last vestige of big manufacturing, American manufacturing, by

destroying GM and Ford, Chrysler.

I mean, they've already been mostly destroyed, but this will kill the car companies.

And guess who's making cars?

China's making cars.

Guess who?

Guess who we gave all of our

mineral rights to outside of our own borders?

China.

Guess who has all the minerals to be able to make batteries more than anybody else?

China.

Guess who benefits from all of this?

China.

When will this administration make one mistake and

put a policy in that benefits America?

When?

I mean, they are, they have their batting average on hurting America is almost 1,000.

Can you, can you, can you see one policy that they've made, Stu, where, whoops, we let one slip through that actually is good for America?

And that's not hyperbole.

We're being dismantled.

Nothing pops to mind,

really.

I mean, maybe the TikTok.

Let's put our researchers on that.

Maybe the TikTok benefit were not.

I'm not sure that that's the right thing.

I'm not sure it's the right thing, but even if it's a mistake, it could benefit America in that I think TikTok is a bad thing

generally.

But

I don't know that it's the right policy.

My tendency in these situations is to err against government intervention.

But if you're talking about a policy that they could theoretically put in that might have some benefit, I mean, maybe

you could argue that.

I don't know.

I mean, there's not a lot.

Maybe.

I'll tell you, there's not a lot.

And these are all like long-term projects they've been working on, right?

Like these are, these are, you know, putting these things in and trying to use the force of law to overwhelm the market is almost always a mistake.

I mean, we used to stay away from picking winners and losers.

It was something that they would deny.

right?

Like they would say, oh, no, we're not doing that.

Of course, we're not doing that.

Now they're embracing it.

They are now.

Through ESG, they've cut all of the funding for any kind of oil exploration or anything else.

They're cutting all of the investments through ESG into anything about a combustion engine.

The government is putting their finger.

on the scale and pushing these auto companies to do something, quite honestly, they know that it's not right.

They know it.

Anybody in the auto industry knows this is not going to turn out well.

Anybody in the energy system knows this is not going to turn out well.

Why?

We don't have the power lines just to handle the amount of electricity that is going to be needed by 2035.

We don't have the power lines.

We have to completely redesign the structure of our power grid to be able to do this by 2035.

Are you hearing anybody talking about that?

I'm hearing about cutting different things.

I'm hearing about taking new dams down,

which is a clean way to produce energy.

But no, we got to take the dams down.

I'm not hearing about new energy except for things,

well, we've got a lot of BLM land.

And we can put solar panels on the BLM land.

I'm sorry, what?

I thought you wanted this country to be pristine and untouched by human hands.

You want to cover the country with solar panels, which, by the way,

you know, go out of date pretty quickly as someone who has great

experience with solar energy.

And then what do you do with that solar panel?

That solar panel is made in China, most likely,

because you know, government is picking the winners over here, and they always fail.

It's most likely made over there with all kinds of stuff in it that is bad for the environment.

What happens to all those solar panels in 20 years?

Yeah, it's fascinating.

I think, I don't know if I told you this off the air or at all, but I was talking to a guy who's looking at an investment in some real estate situation.

And they basically, one of the the things they do is buy homes and

they, you know, rent them out.

And there's, it's just, you know, some real estate situation.

So they have this,

you know, the idea that eventually, like, maybe they would sell these to a bigger fund, right?

Like, so you want to keep it attractive.

So if case someone's coming in for a big purchase, you can be attractive to that purchaser.

It makes sense, right?

So you have all these different qualifications they have to set on these homes.

And like, you know, for example, you don't have them next to a prison.

You don't have them next to

high-voltage power lines, like right under that.

You want to be attractive to somebody coming in.

One of their requirements is no solar panels under any circumstances.

And this is not like some right-wing organization that just dislikes solar power, but between the maintenance, between the fact that they age out, between the fact that they have all of these contracts that you have to sign with these individual solar panel companies wind up being such a hassle that it's impossible to unwind.

And they're like, we we don't want anything, anything to do with them.

You'd think, well, if these things are great, having them on a house already would be fantastic, right?

You're not paying the upfront cost and you get the benefit of generating the power.

No, they want nothing to do with them because it's just a disaster.

And on the electric vehicles, you know, you mentioned that no one's talking about it.

And in some ways, that's true.

The media is certainly not doing it.

But, you know, universities are releasing studies.

They've released a study.

There was one that came out recently that said that electric vehicles are worse for the environment than gas-powered vehicles.

Another one talked about the power grid, which does not have the capacity to actually function if we go this direction.

And another one that came out said the guardrail system in the United States cannot handle...

heavy electric vehicles, especially if we start getting into the truck sort of world, because they're not built to withstand that.

So these things go right through the guardrails of our highways and would be a massive problem going forward.

All of this stuff would have to be done if we were to make this transition that everyone's saying is so wonderful.

And it's like we're right in the middle of all of these narratives collapsing.

The sales have collapsed.

The four startups, you know, was it Rivian, Polestar, they're all down over 90%

in stock price.

And it's now we're doubling and tripling down on all of this.

Yeah, the government is.

Right.

And they're expecting you to go along with it because it's politically correct.

Sponsor this half hour is Patriot Mobile.

so apparently donald trump is unable to secure the 454 million dollar bond in the new york civil fraud case um

i don't know what to think about this

Donald Trump came out and said, we have spent hours negotiating with some of the largest insurance companies in the world, some of the biggest banks, and we cannot get

a loan for this.

Now,

that seems bizarre to me.

He did offer to post a $100 million bond

and see how this plays out in court.

But I can't believe that he couldn't give the Trump Tower as collateral and nobody would take that.

Yeah, it's weird.

I don't know.

I tend to believe, I could be wrong on this, but I tend to believe in reality what he's trying to do is delay this as long as possible.

Like,

isn't it hard to believe he couldn't get a loan like this?

I mean, you know, he obviously talks about having $10 billion.

It is an awful lot of money, but he has, obviously, the assets to support it.

You know, and one of the things they say in the filing is like, basically, we would have to fire sale this real estate if we needed to get this money.

So he's saying he could get it, but he'd have to fire sale this real estate, and that would mean they wouldn't get great prices for it.

But somebody would probably step up for Trump Tower if he really wanted to.

Now, he shouldn't be forced into that, as we've noted many times.

But like, what I keep coming back to is you're telling me, like, I don't know, I'm just throwing a name out there.

Steve Wynn wouldn't say, hey, like, I'll just take, I'll give you, I can handle this.

Like, you know, I'll give you the money and, you know, I'll take Trump Tower as collateral or whatever the equivalent real estate is.

Like, as somebody who's already in the business, he's got a lot of people who support him a lot.

And I don't it seems like he'd be able to get that done.

Would you want Trump Tower in New York?

And I don't mean to single out that.

Would you want any massive piece of real estate in Manhattan right now?

Well, that's a good question.

I think.

Especially considering what they're doing to people in New York.

But, I mean, he's got real estate

all over the place.

It doesn't have to be a New York property.

And I think, too, like, you know, if you think about the process here, if he can't do this, then Letitia James has to start proceedings to get it from the court.

That drags on for months.

There's appeals.

It just, I mean, if he doesn't pay it, it'll drag on for a long time.

He probably would have time to get it by then.

It feels to me that, like, it would be why not just

be bad for the state of New York if she started taking Trump Tower

and seizing his assets.

That would scare the market even more.
