Speaker 2 I want to talk to you about

Speaker 2 how you can shore yourself up against the coming storm.

Speaker 2 I wish I could go back to college and learn history, but not from anybody in college now.

Speaker 2 I mean,

Speaker 2 what are they teaching? What are they teaching? Most college grounds have become

Speaker 2 breeding grounds. of nothing but Marxist thinking and ideology.

Speaker 2 Thanks to Hillsdale College since 1844, Hillsdale has been providing an education in faith, freedom, and character. This is the only place I would want to send my kids to college.

Speaker 2 I personally recommend the Constitution 101, the meaning and history of the U.S. Constitution.

Speaker 2 you can enroll online. There's no cost.

Speaker 2 You got to

Speaker 2 be it up.

Speaker 2 Got no room to compromise.

Speaker 2 We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.

Speaker 2 Stand up straight and hold the line.

Speaker 2 You got to

Speaker 2 fade up.

Speaker 2 It's a new day I've turned around.

Speaker 2 You got

Speaker 2 What you're about to hear

Speaker 2 is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 2 This is the Glen Beck program.

Speaker 2 Hello, America.

Speaker 2 Every day we get closer and closer to real chaos in all of our lives.

Speaker 2 Every day I become more and more frustrated because I feel that people are not paying attention. They're not paying attention.
They're going to be surprised when they lose their freedom.

Speaker 2 They're going to be surprised when you will not be able to hear voices like mine anymore.

Speaker 2 Back in 2010, I was sitting at Fox and I was looking up at all the monitors of Fox and CNN and MSNBC. I looked at my staff and I said, These things are going to burn themselves to the ground.

Speaker 2 We can't be anywhere near.

Speaker 2 And I started designing the blaze. There were about 10 things that I felt we needed to do to be able to be truly independent and prepared for the time.

Speaker 2 Well, the time is here where we take an enormous step and a giant leap in faith to be able to become truly the Alamo.

Speaker 2 The time is here. We'll tell you about it in 60 seconds.
You know, it's not really a crime to shoplift as long as it's under $900, right?

Speaker 2 I mean, that's really what they're telling you that you should believe right now. The madness doesn't seem to be slowing down.
The woke mind virus has taken over, and

Speaker 2 every law should be enforced in my opinion, but it's not. It's not being enforced.
The good news is you can protect your kids and grandkids from bad ideas by teaching powerful truths. The Tuttle Twins

Speaker 2 want to help you do that with your kids and your grandkids. This week only, you can get a free book, The Tuttle Twins Learn About the Law.
It explains how good laws help everybody.

Speaker 2 And once your kids get these lessons, they'll be much more likely to be immune from these bad Marxist ideas and wokeism because they'll see for themselves the garbage that the teachers are shoveling.

Speaker 2 All right, I want to show you a snapshot of where we are and where we're headed.

Speaker 2 Let me

Speaker 2 play for you some audio. These are pro-Palestinian activists that are chanting Alo Akbar at Orthodox Jews.

Speaker 2 They are praying in prayer. Police have to separate the two.
One group praying,

Speaker 2 one group shouting Alo Akbar here it is

Speaker 2 look at the size of that crowd

Speaker 2 and you have maybe

Speaker 2 four guys that are praying

Speaker 2 and they are praying with their backs to the crowd they're not trying to do anything This is in T-Neck, New York.

Speaker 2 You've seen this all

Speaker 2 over

Speaker 2 the country.

Speaker 2 Here they are in New York City.

Speaker 2 They're chanting

Speaker 2 in the anti-Semitic march. There's only one solution.

Speaker 2 What solution is that?

Speaker 2 It'd be the final solution, wouldn't it? Yeah. Well, that's what they're saying.
Yeah, because they're also chanting about the Intifada. Long live the Intifada.

Speaker 2 Now we have majority of Muslim Americans believe Hamas was justified in its terrorist attacks on Israel.

Speaker 2 New poll released late last week found the majority of Muslim Americans believe Hamas was justified in committing the horror show against Israel.

Speaker 2 The poll surveyed 2,000 people from October 16th through the 18th to gauge the public's overall awareness and attitudes about what was happening in Israel.

Speaker 2 Majority overall, 50.6 have a positive opinion of Israel compared to only 12% who have a negative opinion, while 37% were neutral. The two groups

Speaker 2 that had the highest negative views of Israel were Muslim Americans at 36.5 and Democrats at 15.7.

Speaker 2 The group that had the largest positive views of Israel, Jewish Americans at 85%

Speaker 2 and Republicans at 64%.

Speaker 2 The results showed that Muslim Americans were far less educated, listen carefully, they were far less educated about numerous aspects of the atrocities committed by the Palestinian terrorist than Jewish Americans.

Speaker 2 For example, only 10% of Jewish Americans were not aware of the fact that Hamas had decapitated babies compared to 34% of Muslim Americans who were not aware.

Speaker 2 Overall, the overwhelming majority of Americans strongly, about 84%, said Israel had the right to defend itself. About 75% of Americans said that Hamas was not justified in attacking Israel.

Speaker 2 The numbers from the Palestinian Americans are very high. And notice what they said.

Speaker 2 that they weren't educated

Speaker 2 on the atrocities. Now, you don't get that at school.
Where do you become educated on the news?

Speaker 2 You become educated by what sources you read.

Speaker 2 And if you have watched lately,

Speaker 2 the news is spinning out of control.

Speaker 2 Let me show you something that came from the White House press secretary, KJP, yesterday. She was asked about

Speaker 2 anti-Semitism and listen to what she says.

Speaker 5 What is his level of concern right now about the potential rise of anti-Semitism in light of everything that's going to happen?

Speaker 7 The rise of anti-Semitism.

Speaker 5 So a couple of things.

Speaker 5 Look,

Speaker 5 we have not seen any credible threats. I know there's been always questions about.
Stop.

Speaker 2 I just gave you two.

Speaker 2 I I just showed you a crowd of people

Speaker 2 chanting Allah Akbar to intimidate the few Jewish people that were praying.

Speaker 2 I just showed you another one.

Speaker 2 We just had the chance of final solution, final solution.

Speaker 2 How about this one? Cut, let me see here. Cut.

Speaker 2 I think it's one. Cut one.

Speaker 2 Play this. He's not going nowhere now.

Speaker 2 Minneapolis man. He's not going nowhere now.
An old man. Hold on, hold on.

Speaker 2 Hold on.

Speaker 2 I'm going to get into this.

Speaker 2 They're kicking his car.

Speaker 2 They've tried to open it.

Speaker 2 Now he's trying just to get out. Now, they say that he was...

Speaker 2 They say that

Speaker 2 he was trying to knife them.

Speaker 2 He drove intentionally in, but we have aerial footage. Play the aerial footage, please.
You see, this guy is trapped.

Speaker 2 He's coming off of a highway, and he gets off, and now he's trapped, and he's surrounded. And somebody opens up his door.
What are you going to do? You're an old man. Who are these people?

Speaker 2 Palestinian supporters. This was a Palestinian march.

Speaker 2 You have the same same kind of people, exactly the same kind of people that are doing these marches as you had lead the marches on Black Lives Matter.

Speaker 2 Now, where are you going to get that news?

Speaker 2 My Facebook page has been throttled since July by more than 90%.

Speaker 2 So if you follow me, you click and say, hey, I'm one of the millions that I want news from Glenn Beck. You're not getting it.

Speaker 2 Only 10% of what I post goes out to people who want to read my stuff.

Speaker 2 We are a monster on social media. Monster.
No longer.

Speaker 2 I have been talking to you about big tech censorship for a while.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 it is time now because

Speaker 2 we're entering a time when the attack and the final cutting of our throat, I believe, is coming.

Speaker 2 So the Blaze is about to make a major step.

Speaker 2 Blaze Media is declaring our independence from big tech ahead of the 2024 election to ensure that we can keep bringing you the truth no matter what, but we can't do it without you.

Speaker 2 Here's what happens.

Speaker 2 When we write a story, it costs us money. We get our money from advertisers.
They cut all of our advertising potential.

Speaker 2 They do that by demonetizing us and depressing us. So when I have a story I want to get out and you to see,

Speaker 2 they not only stop you from seeing it, they also demonetize us so we can't make any money on it. Well, you can't do what we do without making money.

Speaker 2 When publishers host ads on their website, Google and other major ad exchanges can send bots, and these bots crawl their pages for content that they deem is unsafe for advertisers.

Speaker 2 After finding something they don't like, think the Hunter Biden laptop, something they don't like, COVID origin stories,

Speaker 2 the Palestinian stories, the truth about what's happening in Israel, the truth about what our country is doing with our money in Ukraine.

Speaker 2 When they find these things, they demand the ads be removed from the quote offending article or else the entire website will be demonetized. When we say, no,

Speaker 2 this is the truth, they bury the

Speaker 2 unsafe content so deep in their algorithms that it makes it impossible for anybody to find.

Speaker 2 This is the ghettoization

Speaker 2 of media.

Speaker 2 This is what they are doing, putting us behind a wall, just like the ghettos.

Speaker 2 You can talk all you want, but nobody's going to hear you because you're behind a wall.

Speaker 2 Now, we've been dealing with this every day for years,

Speaker 2 but as soon as Biden was elected, It became much, much worse, and we are done playing the game.

Speaker 2 I've got several things to announce today

Speaker 2 if you go to blaze theblaze calm right now you will see a complete redesign

Speaker 2 this is bigger than you think it is

Speaker 2 you will see

Speaker 2 that it has been a redesign that has news articles opinion analysis now it also has lifestyle sports tech commentary, and more is coming. What you will not see

Speaker 2 are any ads at all.

Speaker 2 There are no pop-up ads. There are no non-pop-up ads.
There are no toenail fungus ads.

Speaker 2 There are no ads whatsoever. There are no ads that make it look like you're looking at a story, but you find out it's not a story.

Speaker 2 This is why this is a big deal.

Speaker 2 We kick the ad exchanges to the curb.

Speaker 2 It will allow us to better serve you because you're not going to be distracted by the annoying ads, and we won't be distracted by wondering whether big tech will allow us to monetize the traffic we generate.

Speaker 2 We'll be relying on your direct support for all of it.

Speaker 2 I have felt since 2010 the only people that should be between us

Speaker 2 is

Speaker 2 you.

Speaker 2 There should be no one else between us.

Speaker 2 We should have no other master than serving you.

Speaker 2 This is not possible without you, and we're counting on you to make sure that we can continue to bring you the truth and our big tech overlords be damned.

Speaker 2 The other reason why we're doing this is we need to have a direct contact with you.

Speaker 2 You want the Blaze News, you want your programs, then we have to have direct contact or it will be scuttled by algorithms. So you know, we are taking a huge risk.

Speaker 2 We are investing in more quality content, including expert analysis, insightful commentary, investigative reporting, really good stuff in the works on that.

Speaker 2 And we're cutting out the middleman and going all in on you.

Speaker 2 Millions of people read the articles we publish every day. If you find value in this work, we're asking you to visit theblaze.com right now and subscribe to Blaze News.

Speaker 2 Costs you less than a cup of coffee per month to get quality content, the best content we've ever delivered.

Speaker 2 If you're already a Blaze TV subscriber, The Blaze News subscription is already included in your Blaze TV subscription. So check your email for more information about these

Speaker 2 changes. But all I want you to do right now is just go to theblaze.com and just look at the new ad-free experience and you'll see for yourself how we're prioritizing you

Speaker 2 trying to give you what you need

Speaker 2 and trying to take everybody else out between us.

Speaker 2 This is critical if we are to survive because as you see with the president, they're answering a question about anti-Semitism by talking about the Islamophobia.

Speaker 2 What Islamophobia? Show it to me. What Islamophobia? I can show you all the anti-Semitism.
There are lies, and there are people that will tell the truth, and they will be shut down.

Speaker 2 We need you.

Speaker 2 And we will do everything we can to provide you with what you need.

Speaker 2 So pain has has got aggressive with you. Getting up in the morning, it's already kicking you around like a soccer ball and it only gets worse as the day goes on.
I know how it feels.

Speaker 2 Nothing like a good old frequent debilitating pain to make you feel like doing nothing other than turning over in bed and going back to sleep. Of course, that's not the best option.

Speaker 2 You know, all it does is allow the pain to continue to win. I know, because I used to give in to mine all the time.
May I recommend that you give Relief Factor a try?

Speaker 2 The three-week quick start is $19.95.

Speaker 2 It's a trial pack, not a drug, but it was developed by doctors, and more than a million people have bought Relief Factor's Quick Start, and about 70% of them have gone on to order more.

Speaker 2 ReliefFactor.com. Go there now, call 1-800-4-RELIEF, 1-800-4-RELIEF, or ReliefFactor.com.
Get the 1995 three-week quick start. Again, that's relief factor.com or call 1-800, the number 4-relief.

Speaker 2 Relief Factor. Feel the difference.
10 seconds, station ID.

Speaker 2 Let me give you a couple of other stories

Speaker 2 because every time we try to tell you the truth, they demonetize and censor us.

Speaker 2 We have been telling you a couple of things that are coming.

Speaker 2 First of all,

Speaker 2 try this story out today.

Speaker 2 Tyson Foods to bring bug-based protein to U.S. markets after partnering with world leader in insect ingredients.

Speaker 2 Now,

Speaker 2 we've been telling you,

Speaker 2 not made up, not just like, look at, I bet you they're going to make us eat bugs. They talk about it.

Speaker 2 They say it in their own words at the World Economic Forum.

Speaker 2 Why do you think meat is going up?

Speaker 2 Why do you think our food is going up? Two reasons, inflation and they are crippling the food supply.

Speaker 2 Now,

Speaker 2 Tyson is going to upcycle food manufacturing byproducts into high-quality insect proteins and lipids, which will primarily be used in the pet food, aquaculture, and livestock industries.

Speaker 2 So our beef, our cattle, our sheep, they're going to be eating bugs. Great.
Well, you are what you eat, I guess. Now,

Speaker 2 they did say in this,

Speaker 2 Tyson revealed that

Speaker 2 some people, some people

Speaker 2 say that bugs provide high quality, complete protein. They have the nine essential amino acids, and they're rich in fiber, iron, and calcium.

Speaker 2 And they have said that some people are saying they'd like everybody else to eat bugs, but that's not in Tyson's plan.

Speaker 2 Uh-huh. Okay, well, it may not be in Tyson's plan.
It's in somebody's plan.

Speaker 2 Me just saying that to you now,

Speaker 2 this program will be demonetized and it will be stifled on algorithm.

Speaker 2 I believe you should decide.

Speaker 2 I believe you should do your own homework. You should not take my word for it or the Blaze or anybody else.
You should be able to go online and find the information yourself.

Speaker 2 We can help you do that, but we don't ask you to be a zombie and just believe whatever we say.

Speaker 2 We're providing you with information that happens to strongly disagree with the

Speaker 2 mainstream media and political narrative of the West.

Speaker 2 That's the way it is. Help us help you.
Theblaze.com. Just see it for yourself now.

Speaker 2 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 2 Considering how much the value of the dollar is going down day by day, it's got to be a huge relief when you can find something that doesn't seem to cost too much.

Speaker 2 And that's one of the reasons I love Car Shield.

Speaker 2 You don't have to worry about how much it's going to cost you if your car breaks down because Car Shield allows you to lock in the price and the coverage of your plan.

Speaker 2 When you enroll with Car Shield, you're getting protection plans that start as low as $100 a month, flexible month-to-month coverage, your choice of an ASE certified mechanic, 24-7 coast-to-coast roadside assistance, and complementary towing and rental car options.

Speaker 2 You also get no long-term contracts and Car Shield administrators will handle all of the paperwork and repairs so you don't have to.

Speaker 2 Maybe most important of all, considering the whole inflation thing, you get a price lock guarantee. Your price will never go up.

Speaker 2 No matter how many claims you file, it'll never go up even as mileage on your car increases. It'll never go up.
Car Shield. You're going to love it.

Speaker 2 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 So the White House had a hard time yesterday saying,

Speaker 2 yeah, there's some anti-Semitism going up, and I think we've all seen it. But again, the White House and the media is expecting us just to not see it.

Speaker 2 You cannot deny what your eyes see

Speaker 2 and what you hear, at least today.

Speaker 2 I may have to amend that when AI is fully engaged and we can't believe what we see or hear.

Speaker 2 But at this point, we can, and we see it in our own areas.

Speaker 2 I'm going to save this for later.

Speaker 2 Boy, I want to tell you something really bad. I've seen it in my own neighborhood, but

Speaker 2 it's got to stop. It's got to stop.

Speaker 2 Now, there's been some headlines over the weekend. AP News, Detroit Synagogue President Samantha Wall,

Speaker 2 fatally stabbed. Fox News, Michigan Jewish Synagogue President Samantha Wall found dead outside Detroit home.
NBC, Detroit synagogue president found fatally stabbed outside her home.

Speaker 2 ABC News, Detroit synagogue president found stabbed to death outside her home. New York Times, synagogue leader is killed in Detroit, but motive is not known.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 I find it a great coincidence,

Speaker 2 but the New York Times is the one that got this right here's what we know

Speaker 2 Saturday 40 year old Samantha woll of Detroit Michigan was found dead outside of her home with multiple stab wounds to her body and a trail of blood leading back to her home she was the president of the board of the Isaac Gree downtown synagogue Their website said they are the only freestanding synagogue in the heart of downtown Detroit.

Speaker 2 Outside of her prominent role of the Jewish community, she's also an active member of the Democratic Democratic Party.

Speaker 2 She worked on multiple campaigns and is an aide to the Democratic Congresswoman, Lisa Slotkin. As far as the murder goes, that's all we know.

Speaker 2 Now, the murder is set on the backdrop of war on Israel and growing support of Hamas and their anti-Semitic mission, including here in America and including huge anti-Semitic rallies in Dearborn.

Speaker 2 It's It's happening on our college campuses, all over. In America, Jews are afraid of being targeted for their faith.

Speaker 2 But we also know Detroit has the third highest homicide rate per capita in the country. Right now, there is no reported evidence that Samantha Woll was targeted because she was Jewish.

Speaker 2 We don't know that. The police chief is asking that no one jumps to conclusions yet.
Investigation is just getting started. No clear motive at this time.

Speaker 2 Even the Michigan Office of the Anti-Defamation League said we urge the community to refrain from speculation and allow law enforcement to gather facts.

Speaker 2 Online, there is a wave of people laying this murder at the feet of Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib.

Speaker 2 She's one of the most anti-Israel voices in Congress, and I am absolutely no fan of hers. The murder seems to have been

Speaker 2 taken place in the congressional district that neighbors hers. Now, I don't like Rashida Tlaib.
She's wrong about Israel. I think she's a massive anti-Semite.

Speaker 2 But that's all we have. Can we blame her for awful ideas? Yes.
Can we blame her for murder? No, we don't have any facts yet.

Speaker 2 Here's the thing.

Speaker 2 Our job is to try to get the story right.

Speaker 2 And you cannot get the story right if you are rushing to publish. I could easily come on the air and play all the clips that Toled is spreading the lies of Israel.

Speaker 2 She is just spreading lie after lie after lie against Israel.

Speaker 2 And then I could tell you about the pro-Palestinian marches in Dearborn right next door.

Speaker 2 Then tell you a Jewish woman was murdered. I mean, it's pretty easy to paint that picture, but that kind of picture riles people up into mobs.

Speaker 2 That's what the media does. If a black person is murdered, they find out if it's a white cop.
If it's a white cop, they whip everybody up into their own conclusions.

Speaker 2 Things might be getting more crazy.

Speaker 2 But we have to keep our heads.

Speaker 2 I'm horrified that we even have to wonder if this woman who was killed in America, in an American city, I'm horrified that we have to even wonder, was it because she was Jewish?

Speaker 2 But anti-Semitism is a real threat, and I'm afraid it's going to get worse because it

Speaker 2 always does when Marxism begins to erode a country. The threat is real.

Speaker 2 We don't know about this murder. Senseless and evil.
That's all we know right right now. But we will follow this story.
We have to remain clear-eyed and vigilant. We have to wait and see.

Speaker 2 There is

Speaker 2 a tremendous increase now of the number of Jewish people

Speaker 2 purchasing firearms after the Hamas attack.

Speaker 2 After the attack, a lot

Speaker 2 of people

Speaker 2 are

Speaker 2 purchasing firearms and learning how to use them.

Speaker 2 That's tremendous.

Speaker 2 That's the First Amendment. Protect yourself.
I feel for this guy who,

Speaker 2 who was it that was there,

Speaker 2 Pat?

Speaker 2 It was a guy running for city council, I believe, that was one of the guys taking the videos.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Palestinian. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 His name is Zach. I don't know his last name.

Speaker 2 We didn't find that out, but Zach something or other, who is running for a city council position. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And he was one of the guys who was yelling to follow this guy, to find this guy.

Speaker 2 Just an old man who was trying to get home

Speaker 2 and blocked by, you know, the Palestinian, pro-Palestinian protest.

Speaker 2 You know what? It's the street. That's where cars drive.

Speaker 2 It's not where people stand.

Speaker 2 When did this become a thing that it's okay to stand and block the streets?

Speaker 2 I don't think it is okay.

Speaker 2 But yeah, this council candidate thought it was, and he's trying to track the old man down who

Speaker 2 is just trying to go about his business.

Speaker 2 There's a great story out by Jonathan Tourley today that talks about the poll numbers that are coming out.

Speaker 2 37%

Speaker 2 of conservatives think that it's okay to engage in violence at this point because the other side is so dangerous. 42% of Democrats believe that.

Speaker 2 That doesn't lead anywhere good,

Speaker 2 nowhere good.

Speaker 2 You know, in my mind, there have been,

Speaker 2 there are,

Speaker 2 well, I've always described them as exits. You're passing all of the exits.
And when you pass that exit, you've shut down more options.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 before we get there,

Speaker 2 there's like three things that

Speaker 2 I have left on

Speaker 2 for me that I'm like, okay,

Speaker 2 if this happens, then we do this. If this happens, then we do this.
And we just take more and more steps to

Speaker 2 protect the voice, to protect

Speaker 2 our families, and to protect you, to be able to speak to you and protect you.

Speaker 2 And things that I will be saying, I think,

Speaker 2 more and

Speaker 2 new things

Speaker 2 that I have

Speaker 2 known for quite some time, but

Speaker 2 time is not right. I always look at the star field.
Is the star field rolling faster or slower? And is it rolling away from common sense or towards common sense?

Speaker 2 The star field is still running away from common sense and I fear that it is running faster

Speaker 2 and this is going to come at us quickly.

Speaker 2 This is one of the reasons why we're we're testing out to be real honest with you

Speaker 2 when we look at theblaze calm nobody goes to a website anymore nobody goes you get your news in a feed

Speaker 2 that feed is determined by an algorithm now I gave you access to my show prep every day which is about 90 stories and that was the first thing that we did we want to make sure that you can get them directly in your mailbox the blaze has has a something like that directly in your mailbox.

Speaker 2 There is a reason for this. It's not just to give you news, but it is also to make sure that we have a way to contact each other in case.

Speaker 2 So we ask you to sign up for that. Now, our next big step, and you'll hear more, we've added a lot to

Speaker 2 theblaze.com.

Speaker 2 Theblaze.com, we've taken all of the ads out

Speaker 2 because we are held hostage. When we do ads on radio or on our podcasts, these are advertisers that have been with us for a very long time

Speaker 2 and we vet them six ways to Sunday and they support us. I don't think all of them will be there at the end, but a few will be.

Speaker 2 We help each other and we have the same goals.

Speaker 2 When it comes to selling ads on a a website, that's all done by Google. And it's just slots that are available.

Speaker 2 That could quickly put a news department out of business. And that's exactly what they're trying to do.

Speaker 2 So we're going directly to you now.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 this is something that I've wanted to do from the very beginning of the Blaze. But it is so tremendously expensive.

Speaker 2 You already will get this with your Blaze TV subscription. But we ask you, if you're not a Blaze TV member,

Speaker 2 if you get the news from us and it's important, I invite you to go to the website.

Speaker 2 We're not making it like other websites where you see all the stories and you click on them and you're like, oh, I'm locked out of that one. We're just relying on you.

Speaker 2 and asking you, there are some things that are locked up for premium, but it's not like other websites at all. And then those websites also have ads.
We have none.

Speaker 2 We've completely divorced ourselves from that. Please go and see.
And for a price of a cup of coffee, you can help us

Speaker 2 with our news department as we commit to you that we are now entering a new era where we will be doing investigative journalism.

Speaker 2 Next hour, I'll show you some of the things that we have coming very soon. And we'll do that.

Speaker 2 Just a minute. Stand by.

Speaker 2 If you're like most Americans right now, you're definitely feeling the effects of inflation, whether you're watching numbers

Speaker 2 spiral at the gas pump, feeling like you're getting robbed at gunpoint every day when you buy your groceries. Or, you know, hey, you've got two kidneys.

Speaker 2 You can sell one on the dark web so you can do some home repairs. This is why you need to reach out to American Financing.

Speaker 2 From behind my cardboard microphone, welcome to the Glen Beck program. And thank you, Pat, for filling in for Stu, who is yet absent another day.

Speaker 2 But, you know. It just doesn't end with him.
Whatever. No, it really doesn't.
It really doesn't.

Speaker 2 Al Jazeera is reporting today, social media giants are censoring pro-Palestinian voices among Israel's wars. Oh, geez.

Speaker 2 Now, this is Al Jazeera. And remember, Al Jazeera is part of Qatar or Guther,

Speaker 2 as they now say. That is, they are one of the main financiers and supporters of Hamas.

Speaker 2 So congratulations on your Al Jazeera money, Al Gore.

Speaker 2 Al Jazeera also reports, Russia says U.S. will not be at the center of a new world order.

Speaker 2 No world order is not going to be American-centric.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's what Klaus Schwab says. Isn't that weird? Isn't that weird?

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 we got that going for us. Obama has issued a new statement on Israel.

Speaker 2 He yesterday condemned the deadly attacks launched by the militant group Hamas,

Speaker 2 called it an unspeakable brutality.

Speaker 2 And he said Israel has a right to maintain itself, but

Speaker 2 even as we support Israel, we should also be clear that how Israel prosecutes this fight against Hamas matters.

Speaker 2 In particular, it matters as President Biden has repeatedly emphasized that Israel's military strategy abides by international law, including those laws that seek to avoid, to every extent possible, the death or suffering of civilian populations.

Speaker 2 So wait a minute. Hang on to the other thing.

Speaker 2 So when Israel says, here's a map on how to get out,

Speaker 2 Here's a time you should be out by, and then gives them days and days and days, That's not enough?

Speaker 2 You're seeing the shift ground, the ground shift right now. You're seeing these people who came out and pretended to be huge supporters of Israel because they had no other choice.

Speaker 2 And they're now subtly moving

Speaker 2 the scenery behind and saying, yeah, of course, but I didn't know they were going to do this. The Glenn Beck Program.
I want to talk to you a little bit about Barrel Buddy.

Speaker 2 Bob Wallace wrote in about Barrel Buddy. He said, I spent 40 years in law enforcement, first as a badge and gun federal agent, then as a private contractor.

Speaker 2 Those evil private contractors. I used just about every product on the market to clean my firearm.
This one is now my favorite.

Speaker 2 The circular cleaning with the bore cleans the grooves better than anything I've ever seen without the possibility of scratching the bore. It lives up to its claim.
It is worth every penny.

Speaker 2 Nothing like a happy customer. Here's the thing.

Speaker 2 It's a parallel economy that we're building and it has some great things in its favor. If you're serious about taking good care of your guns, Barrel Buddy is the way to go.

Speaker 2 is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 2 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 Hello, America. Welcome to Tuesday.
Well, the New York Times has made a sobering admission about their coverage on Israel.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 2 So big of them to do this. Wait until you hear their apology in 60 seconds.
So you're standing there in the store. You got a set of towels in your hands.
Are you sure they feel soft?

Speaker 2 Do they even say absorbent on the tag? How great is that?

Speaker 2 Turns out, when you get home, not so great. The moment you get them home and you try to use them, they turn out to be like burlap.

Speaker 2 Not so much with my towels from MyPillow. They actually work.

Speaker 2 The New York Times has issued an extensive mea culpa yesterday, admitting its journalist relied too heavily on claims from Hamas about the Baptist hospital bombing.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 2 Surprise.

Speaker 2 You mean Hamas wasn't telling the truth? The first headline declared, Israel strikes and kills hundreds in hospital, Palestinians say.

Speaker 2 Second, at least 500 dead in strike on Gaza Hospital, Palestinians say. And the third, at least 500 dead in blast on Gaza hospital, Palestinians say.

Speaker 2 Wow. Okay.
So yesterday, I told you how to judge the news, right? How can you possibly trust,

Speaker 2 who can you trust, and how can you possibly figure it out?

Speaker 2 I told you the way to do that, and this is applicable for your entire life,

Speaker 2 the way you do that, is if someone can't get the big things right,

Speaker 2 you don't listen to them. For instance, if they've bought into the lie

Speaker 2 that men could be women, okay, nope.

Speaker 2 So in this case, has the New York Times claimed that men could be women? Yes, in fact, they've claimed that people like

Speaker 2 Caitlin Jenner is the most beautiful woman in the world.

Speaker 2 Now, I've seen women my whole life, and I've seen men wearing makeup and a dress,

Speaker 2 and that's what, that's what that is. I mean, God love Bruce and

Speaker 2 what's her name?

Speaker 2 Caitlin. Caitlin.
God bless Caitlin. And I'd say that to her face.
I'd call her Caitlin. But if she said, Glenn, you know I'm really a woman.
I'd say, Caitlin, no, I don't know that. You're a man.

Speaker 2 You're a man. And that's okay.
Whatever. But I'm not going to deny the reality.
Okay?

Speaker 2 If you can't get the big ones right, you should never listen to them. That's your family member, nothing.

Speaker 2 If they can't, if they've already bought in to the lies, they're not going to be able to judge. And so you don't listen to them.

Speaker 2 If they've ever lied to you, now this is a way now, let me switch it around. This is the way the New York Times could have avoided this.

Speaker 2 Has Hamas ever lied to the New York Times?

Speaker 2 Yes, they have.

Speaker 2 Have they ever lied to the entire world? Yes, they have.

Speaker 2 Okay, I'm not going to take you as the source. I'll look for another source.
Okay, it's just that easy.

Speaker 2 That stops you from having to do what the New York Times just did, apologize to the world. It's not just, the New York Times just didn't get it wrong.

Speaker 2 The New York Times leads the coverage in so much of America and the world. If the New York Times says it, it's so.

Speaker 2 And so when the New York Times came out immediately and said Israel bombed the hospital,

Speaker 2 people in newsrooms all over America and the world said, well, the New York Times says it, so it's got to be true. No.

Speaker 2 Has the New York Times ever lied to you about COVID,

Speaker 2 about its origins, about Anthony Fauci,

Speaker 2 about the Great Reset,

Speaker 2 about the Caliphate,

Speaker 2 about anything? Have they lied to you? Yes, so dismiss them.

Speaker 2 And I really recommend for those who want to save journalism, they do the same thing. This is what the problem is.
Nobody has learned.

Speaker 2 They were told that the Russia hoax was Russia. It was real.
They were told that that wasn't Joe Biden's son's laptop. It was.

Speaker 2 They've been told all these things over and over again by the same people who are telling them lies today, and they just keep accepting it.

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 2 You lie to me once as a source. I'm done with you.

Speaker 2 Meanwhile,

Speaker 2 Rashida Tlaib Tlaib triples down on her Gaza hospital bombing comments.

Speaker 2 She, of course, was quick to use the New York Times in saying even the Times said this.

Speaker 2 Now,

Speaker 2 there's all kinds of evidence that,

Speaker 2 including in their own words, that it was the Islamists in Palestine that bombed the hospital by accident.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 So who are you going to believe?

Speaker 2 Well, it will depend on who you get your news from.

Speaker 2 If your news is friendly to Rashida Tlaib because she's a trusted source, you can't trust it.

Speaker 2 Every time we come out and we tell you the truth, we are penalized by big tech.

Speaker 2 We are penalized by the government and the state and big tech.

Speaker 2 In July, I produced a special on the Great Reset and I posted a clip from it to Facebook. The clip received a false fact check from Facebook.

Speaker 2 The fact that they they linked to had nothing to do with what I was talking about in the video. Nothing.
But that didn't matter to Facebook.

Speaker 2 And ever since that Facebook check, my Facebook page has been completely throttled, almost choked out of existence. The reach of my videos has dropped by 90%

Speaker 2 and still hasn't recovered. Earlier this summer, Lauren Chen posted a video to Blaze TV YouTube channel where she said something totally obvious about

Speaker 2 transgender issue. Something we all agreed on six seconds ago, but it's now considered hate speech.
Well, YouTube removed the video and locked down the channel for a week.

Speaker 2 Then they threatened that if we didn't stop misgendering people, they would demonetize the channel entirely.

Speaker 2 Sarah Gonzalez at the Blaze had the audacity to state a perfectly obvious fact about gender on YouTube. The powers at B decided she needed to be silenced.
Her content was removed.

Speaker 2 She was locked out of her YouTube channel and her channel will remain demonetized unless she deletes dozens of videos from her channel.

Speaker 2 During the pandemic, nobody, nobody was more on point about what was going on than Daniel Horowitz.

Speaker 2 From the Wuhan lab leak to the insane mask mandates, Horowitz was one of the earliest voices exposing the lies that fueled our response to the pandemic.

Speaker 2 As a result, virtually every one of his columns had to be kept off Facebook and Twitter.

Speaker 2 Google demonetized every single one of his COVID articles and buried them so deep in their search algorithm that it was almost impossible for anyone to find.

Speaker 2 Of course, Horowitz has been proven right again and again, but he has become blacklisted by big tech. His content is still being throttled.

Speaker 2 We have got to find a way

Speaker 2 to get away from big tech.

Speaker 2 After we reported on Hunter Biden's laptop story, NewsGuard labeled us as a, quote, super spreader of misinformation over a story that turned out to be 100%

Speaker 2 true.

Speaker 2 That's how big tech and our ruling elites do it.

Speaker 2 They decide what they want to suppress, and then they use all sorts of tactics and leverage, and they leverage all of the players in big tech to crush it.

Speaker 2 All of this is why we're announcing today what we've announced.

Speaker 2 We need to do battle against big tech.

Speaker 2 We have to have the audacity to post anything on the platforms that we invested our own time and money to grow.

Speaker 2 That's the way it should be. We believe something is true.
Then you fight it out in the battlefield of ideas. You don't silence people.

Speaker 2 We cannot have platforms that they can touch.

Speaker 2 We have to have a platform they can't touch. They can't influence.
And they cannot silence.

Speaker 2 Jason wrote in about his dog's experience with rough greens. He says, Ginger loves rough greens.
She's four, and she can be a picky eater.

Speaker 2 But with rough greens, she eats her food immediately and she keeps more energy and she's more regular.

Speaker 2 Can I just ask that we don't talk about the regularity of dogs? I mean, is that too much to ask?

Speaker 2 Rough greens keeps her eating healthy. Sounds like Ginger started enjoying rough greens right out of the gate, and now I'm glad that she's so regular.

Speaker 2 Rough greens, not a dog food, it's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black that you sprinkle on the dog's food.
Remember, brown food is dead food. You want the greens.

Speaker 2 That's why it's called rough greens, and it is actually green. The folks at Rough Greens are so confident your dog is going to love it.

Speaker 2 This is how big tech and our ruling elites do it.

Speaker 6 They decide they want to suppress a story and they use all sorts of tactics and they leverage all the players in big tech to crush it.

Speaker 7 We have been demonetized more times than I can count for telling the truth about COVID, the BLM riots, government corruption, vaccine safety, that's a big one. And so many more.

Speaker 2 Stories that we were willing to take the hit on because they were things you needed to know about.

Speaker 10 We've been demonetized over and over. And honestly, fine, who cares?

Speaker 7 But what does matter is the truth.

Speaker 10 Every time they demonetize a story or label it as misinformation and lies, they just suppress it so no one gets to hear the actual truth.

Speaker 8 Most Americans get their news on social media, in their feeds, and big tech uses the demonetization and misinformation labels as tools to make sure those stories never get to your feeds.

Speaker 8 Well, we're sick of it, and we've decided to get rid of them entirely.

Speaker 2 We've removed all ads on Blaze News because we've decided rather than being dependent on ad exchanges, we'd rather rely on you.

Speaker 10 And we're investing in more quality content like expert analysis, insightful commentary, and real authentic investigative reporting.

Speaker 2 Go to theblaze.com to check out the all-new ad-free experience and see for yourself. I think you're going to love it.

Speaker 2 So there is something that we're also also very excited to tell you about, and that is Blaze Originals.

Speaker 2 This is a new docuseries that uncovers untold stories, shed light on hidden truths, and will provide fresh perspectives on the most critical issues of our time.

Speaker 2 We are not going to apologize for the approach. We are bringing you the stories that demand attention.
Stories that the mainstream media tries to bury.

Speaker 2 We will ask the questions no one else will seemingly ask. In Blaze Originals, you're not going to find spin, political correctness, hidden agendas.

Speaker 2 Our agenda is the truth, because truth has no agenda. What you'll find is raw, unfiltered journalism.
Our first episode is dropping very soon, and it's about the fires in Lahaina.

Speaker 2 In this episode, we aim to reveal the truth that the authorities and mainstream media seem to want to conceal. We We investigate the

Speaker 2 suspicious, that's hard, easy for you to say, suspicious circumstances surrounding the fires, seeking the answers to the questions that have left many in the community asking,

Speaker 2 what sparked these blazes?

Speaker 2 What could be hidden in their destructive path? Here's a quick preview.

Speaker 12 911 kid locked off all the exits. My car is on fire at the bypass.

Speaker 13 the deadliest wildfire in modern US history

Speaker 6 the story didn't end with the wildfire it started with it

Speaker 2 are we supposed to go I can't believe this

Speaker 2 Lahana burning the f ⁇ down

Speaker 6 I can see the Powers AB wanting to just erase everything.

Speaker 14 Could it it be that there are nefarious interests that wanted Lahaina to go away?

Speaker 2 This would be an

Speaker 14 interesting investigative lead.

Speaker 13 I'm already thinking about ways for the state to acquire that land. We were second-class citizens.

Speaker 5 Lahaina has been great to talk about.

Speaker 13 People died because there were roads that they couldn't escape and that they didn't know.

Speaker 7 We got to get out of here.

Speaker 2 Let's go.

Speaker 14 I have this survivor's guilt that I still have a roof over my head.

Speaker 6 They wanted us to forget the story.

Speaker 6 But we didn't forget.

Speaker 12 We're trying to evacuate, but there is no, there is like no way out.

Speaker 2 The first episode will

Speaker 2 be on Lahaina and what really happened, and that comes out in the beginning of November. We hope to do, I don't know, 10 or 12 of these.

Speaker 2 Some of them will be hosted by me as we have put an entirely new team on investigative work.

Speaker 2 When I do it, it'll be part of my investigative team along with the Blaze investigative team because we are going to go deep to try to unveil the truth.

Speaker 2 We're also very excited to introduce something else, and I'll do that next hour. We're doing these things, by the way, all of this, if you're already a member of the Blaze, you get all of this.

Speaker 2 But if you're not a member of the Blaze, we would ask that you would become one. Blazetv.com slash Glenn, I think.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Not really going to work.

Speaker 2 If there is a way out of pain, would you want it?

Speaker 2 What if you would just try it?

Speaker 2 Because I didn't think it would work, but it did for me. If you've been dealing with pain, please give Relief Factor a try.

Speaker 2 70% of the people who take Relief Factor find out that it works for them. Now, that means there's about 30% that they don't find any relief.

Speaker 2 I think it's worth 20 bucks to find out if you're the one that finds relief, don't you?

Speaker 2 Take it as directed for three weeks. After that, three weeks,

Speaker 2 you'll be able to see whether it works or not. If it does work, just keep on taking it.

Speaker 2 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 I am am always encouraged by people

Speaker 2 that are willing when they learn something to change.

Speaker 2 Too many are not, and that includes people like me. I have learned things, and if you are honestly seeking knowledge, you're honestly seeking truth, you're bound to change from time to time.

Speaker 2 It's essential that you do, otherwise, you get stuck in old thinking

Speaker 2 and

Speaker 2 you lose the ability to help, really, quite honestly.

Speaker 2 Dr. Tabia Lee,

Speaker 2 she was the head of a college DEI program. So you would immediately say, gee, Glenn, why are you having Dr.
Tabia Lee on?

Speaker 2 Because she's somebody who went in and found that

Speaker 2 this is really harmful. This is not actually making sure all voices are heard.

Speaker 2 And she left and has been in a lawsuit with her former college, but I wanted to talk to her because, A, I respect her. B,

Speaker 2 she's also talking about anti-Semitism on the campus. Dr.
Tabia Lee, welcome to the program.

Speaker 15 Hi, Glenn. Thank you for having me today.
You bet.

Speaker 2 This must be weird because I bet you never thought I'd find myself hanging out one morning with Glenn Beck,

Speaker 2 Absolutely. Yeah, right.

Speaker 2 So,

Speaker 2 doctor, tell me what your experience was.

Speaker 15 Yes, you know, when I was hired at De Anza College as a faculty director, it was after many years of working in higher education as a part-timer, if you will.

Speaker 15 You know, after I got my doctorate, those job offers, you know, for the tenure track just didn't come pouring in like I thought they would.

Speaker 15 But the one silver lining of the pandemic for me was that

Speaker 15 all of these positions opened up and

Speaker 15 colleges needed extra hands, if you will.

Speaker 15 And I was one of those folks that was hired on.

Speaker 15 And it was a job that had a job responsibility and title that, you know, everyone had kind of always said, Lee, you need to be like a director somewhere.

Speaker 15 You know, you don't need to just be in your classroom anymore. You need to share your knowledge with a wider

Speaker 15 group of colleagues and impact an institution. And this was a job that provided me with an opportunity to do that position as a faculty member.

Speaker 15 And so the things that took place almost immediately as I began to do my work. Let me know that I was in an environment that I had never been in before.

Speaker 15 And it was like I was in a twilight zone almost. It was immediate within two weeks after

Speaker 15 starting my work.

Speaker 2 So when you took the lead role on DEI, what did you think it was?

Speaker 15 Yeah, so this was a position to lead

Speaker 15 an institution-wide transformation around three topics, which was my office role.

Speaker 15 Equity, social justice, and multicultural education.

Speaker 15 And when I interviewed for it, it was a lengthy process. And, you know, I was very forthright with them about who I was.
And they kind of revealed to me some of their pain points.

Speaker 15 And one of the things they said was, the panel said was,

Speaker 15 you know, the office you will be working for, they're a little too woke. And, you know, that's why we're looking for someone to come in and bring a balance.

Speaker 15 And I said, well, can you tell me what you mean by woke? Because people use words all the time.

Speaker 15 they have different meanings for them. And so I'm always someone who's looking to get a heart of what is someone actually talking about.

Speaker 15 And they said that, well, when faculty goes to your office, you know, if you're selected as a candidate,

Speaker 15 they feel uncomfortable. They're accused of being racist.
They're told that they're teaching wrong.

Speaker 15 And so a lot of faculty doesn't engage. And I said, well, based on that definition that you're telling me, you know, I'm definitely not woke.

Speaker 15 You know, what I seek to do is I seek to bring people together from diverse and divergent perspectives and, you know, and to identify points of commonality.

Speaker 15 Even if we seem really different, I think we can always find a way to serve our students. And so that was my statement.

Speaker 15 And from that, I advanced to the next stage, and I did even a teaching demonstration for them on calling people in instead of calling out.

Speaker 15 And so everything was focused on that point that they raised about the negativity coming from the office. And I was selected for that position.

Speaker 15 And I was delighted to be selected because this was, again,

Speaker 15 things I focus on, an opportunity to bring people together in dialogue and make a positive change in the community.

Speaker 2 How long did it take you before you were called the wrong kind of black person or

Speaker 2 quoting a dirty, the dirty Zionist?

Speaker 15 Oh, yes. So that was within two weeks.

Speaker 15 You know, as I started off, Glenn, I'm someone who I don't assume I know anything or that I have a solution going in. I want to see what people on the ground are saying.

Speaker 15 So I did over 60 hours of needs assessment conversations with faculty, administrators, staff. And during this, one of my first ones was with one of my staff members.

Speaker 15 And they told me that, you know, this job, they were a final candidate. This job should have been theirs.

Speaker 15 And they said, you know, they don't know who I am or what my commitment to equity is and, you know, why I'd come in and swoop this out from under them, but they assured me that I would have a rough road ahead of me.

Speaker 15 And from that, that was the same person who, a couple of weeks after that initial meeting with them while I was meeting with my team we had already had some kind of informal meetings you know

Speaker 15 and it just seemed like they were a very casual group and and remember I needed to do some strategic planning to do an institution-wide transformation and so I wanted to bring some structure and so I said you know great it's been great meeting with everybody you know past couple of weeks and so forth just tell me a little bit about how you all take notes how do you you know track what you've done in the past what you're doing in the future and And they said, oh, we just kind of meet and we talk once a week.

Speaker 15 And I said, well, I've made this Google Doc and all of us can edit it.

Speaker 15 And, you know, you can put in ideas for agendas. And since I'm so new, maybe you can tell me some of your projects that you're working on and I can see where I can fit in.

Speaker 15 And the same person who told me my job should have been theirs, they said, stop what you're doing right now. And I was like, kind of taken aback.
I was like, okay. I said, what?

Speaker 15 And I said, okay, I'm listening. And he said, what you're doing right now is you're white speaking, you're white slaining, and you're supporting white supremacy.
And we don't do that here. And I said,

Speaker 2 and you're African American, right? I just want to make sure that. Yeah.
Yeah. Yes.

Speaker 15 And I've worked in education my whole life, Glenn.

Speaker 15 No teacher or I've ever been in a meeting where someone called another person a white speaking, white slaining, and said white, called them a white supremacist.

Speaker 15 And I'm from the Central Valley here in California. I grew up there, a small town called Lodi.

Speaker 15 And

Speaker 15 there,

Speaker 15 when we hear white supremacists, it's actual like KKK members, white national socialists is what that refers to.

Speaker 15 And so I was deeply offended and everyone on the call, you know, had these smug looks on their faces. And I said, you know, I haven't come in here saying any, calling anyone names, you know.

Speaker 15 I said, this is,

Speaker 15 I feel very uncomfortable with what you said. And I just explained to them what I explained to you, where I'm from, and how I've heard that used.

Speaker 15 And everyone on the call had these looks of condemnation as though I was offending the person who said those offensive words to me.

Speaker 2 And this is,

Speaker 2 yes.

Speaker 15 And I, and I took it back to my dean, you know, afterwards, and I said, you know, hey. This happened, and her affects was flat.
She had no response. And I said, you know, I'm real uncomfortable.

Speaker 15 Normally, I'd be the person who would do some kind of team building or you know a communications exercise, but I said but I'm the target.

Speaker 15 I said I need you to bring someone in to talk to this team about you know in-group bias and how do you let a new person in and how do you talk to each other with you know civil in a civil way

Speaker 15 and and then

Speaker 15 you know, and I need this to be repaired. I said because this we can't communicate this way.

Speaker 15 This is not normal to me. It's very abnormal.

Speaker 15 She never brought anyone in

Speaker 15 and I asked her if she would come. And then she ended up being one of the main instigators as well.

Speaker 15 So that's just, that was the environment that started off with my supervising dean and my team, you know, me being called a white supremacist.

Speaker 15 And, you know, and I didn't know what they meant until many weeks later,

Speaker 15 you know, I saw they, I started going to their workshops and I kept seeing this slide pop up. And it said white supremacy culture characteristics.
And one time it had a citation on it.

Speaker 15 And so I was able to find the white paper where it came from but it had things Glenn like being on time being objective yeah setting an agenda yeah and these are like personality characteristics and I said what is that but but at our California community colleges that's being held up as a framework for people to work from and there's they call it that they're dismantling white supremacy and the way that they're doing it is by not elevating those characteristics and I guess castigating anyone who demonstrates them.

Speaker 15 And to me, all the characteristics were things I had always taught my students to do to be successful in life. They're not white supremacy.

Speaker 2 Exactly.

Speaker 2 These are just, you know, so I just, that's how it started.

Speaker 15 That's how it started. And from there, it

Speaker 15 at every turn, it was becoming clear that I was working from a different understanding of social justice, you know, from them.

Speaker 15 And I had to really figure that out while I was in it, which was an interesting thing because again all my institutions I had worked at before you know they they they use the classical definition what you know hindsight's 2020

Speaker 15 but you know here they were using a critical definition and it was this focus on you know claiming that America is a white supremac a nation founded by white supremacy

Speaker 15 That's one of their core things that they put, even the academic senate made a resolution stating that. And I pushed back on that.
That made me an enemy again.

Speaker 15 I said, you know, no, America's found it to me and to others here. And they're too afraid to speak because of the environment you all have created.
I said, it's founded on fairness and equality.

Speaker 15 You know, whether we've lived up to it or not is something we can all debate, but I disagree.

Speaker 2 I said, putting that in there. And they said, no,

Speaker 15 we're rejecting that.

Speaker 2 It's sounded like primacy.

Speaker 15 That's final. And they put that in a resolution that the faculty signed.

Speaker 2 You are an absolute unicorn.

Speaker 2 Hang on, because

Speaker 2 I want to take a quick break and come back and just have you quickly tell the story about what you found with

Speaker 2 the anti-Semitism on the campus as well. Back in just a minute.

Speaker 2 Out of the terrible tragedy of 9-11 came the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which is committed to helping our nation's heroes and their families in their darkest hours.

Speaker 2 Tunneled at Towers is there to support the families, our first responders, and our veterans, when they don't come home or they're severely injured in the line of duty.

Speaker 2 The foundation will pay off their mortgage. It lifts their financial burdens.

Speaker 2 And through their Gold Star Family Home program, their Fallen First Responder program, they do exactly that and give the family stability.

Speaker 2 With their Smart Home program, catastrophically injured veterans and first responders can get their independence back with a mortgage-free home that is specially adapted to meet their unique physical needs.

Speaker 2 Through their Homeless Veterans program, Tunnel to Towers has helped over 2,000 people this year stay off the streets of their country that they signed up to protect.

Speaker 2 Please join Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good. Can you help by donating $11 a month at tunneldatowers.com? That's tthenumber2t.org.
Sorry, t2t.org.

Speaker 2 That's the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Well worth your time.
Well worth $11 a month. tthenumber2t.org

Speaker 2 Glenn Back.

Speaker 2 Dr. Tabia Lee is with us.
She is a senior fellow now at Do No Harm Medicine,

Speaker 2 and she was at

Speaker 2 some

Speaker 2 universities or some

Speaker 2 would you call it just college or is it a technical college? I'm sorry, Tabia.

Speaker 15 So this was a community college. Community California Community College.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 you were experiencing, as the DEI director, you're experiencing,

Speaker 2 wow, they don't define things the same. Then you started noticing, because you were talking to students, what's happening, and several Jewish students came and said, I feel unsafe here.

Speaker 15 And what happened?

Speaker 15 Actually,

Speaker 15 this was during my needs assessment conversation. So this was conversations with faculty, staff, and administrators.

Speaker 15 Multiple times, it was mentioned that there was a problem with anti-Semitism on the campus.

Speaker 15 And they gave me several examples, like the academic calendar starting for decades on Jewish high holy holidays.

Speaker 15 Stories were shared with me about things that happened before I came.

Speaker 15 Our student government basically subverted a effort of the Jewish Student Union to bring forth a definition of anti-Semitism, the IRA definition.

Speaker 15 Instead, the student government ended up making a counter proposal and then they made no definition of anti-Semitism, but they condemned Israel.

Speaker 15 And so that was very disappointing to the students. I also heard about the students

Speaker 15 being uncomfortable because of anti-Semitic flyering.

Speaker 15 This is all before I got there, you know, people were sharing these stories with me and telling me the environment of fear and exclusion that had been created for Jewish students.

Speaker 15 And I was on, as part of my director responsibilities, a group called the Equity Action Council. And what I discovered there, Glenn,

Speaker 15 they weren't focused on equity. To me, equity means fairness, the textbook definition.
They were talking about something completely different.

Speaker 15 And then they weren't focused on action either. So it was a big time waster on the taxpayer dollar that this group gets funding to.
And

Speaker 15 our local HAL director came to the Equity Action Council and they shared information about the uncomfortable environment for students. And they asked, they urged us, please, to act.

Speaker 15 And they offered to assist. And they gave us some recommendations in written form because they said they had come and talked to several people before and nothing ever happens.
And they were hoping

Speaker 15 to see some changes. When we took these recommendations back to our team meeting,

Speaker 15 I said, wow, you know,

Speaker 15 I'm first I'm offended by the way that one of the staff members, as these guests were talking, they were dropping resources into the chat box like, here's a link to Students for Justice for Palestine.

Speaker 15 This is a good resource to learn about anti-Semitism.

Speaker 15 Here's a link to Jewish Voices for Peace, and so forth. They were giving

Speaker 15 things, resources that were antithetical to what the people were speaking about. And I said, I found that disrespectful.

Speaker 15 And they said, well, it wasn't disrespectful. You and your guests, they called it, were sharing resources.
So we shared ours. Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 2 And I said, okay.

Speaker 2 I tell you,

Speaker 2 will you please come in? I would love to do a podcast with you where we could spend an hour without commercial interruption. So you and I can really talk.
Because I find you fascinating, brave.

Speaker 2 What you're doing now is brave. I can't imagine what you've gone through

Speaker 2 and refreshing.

Speaker 2 So, could I invite you in?

Speaker 2 I would love one.

Speaker 2 You got to

Speaker 2 get up.

Speaker 2 Got no room to compromise.

Speaker 2 We gotta stand together if the colours of life.

Speaker 2 Stand up straight and hold the line.

Speaker 2 You got to

Speaker 2 make it up.

Speaker 2 It's a new day of time to rise.

Speaker 2 We gotta stand together if the current

Speaker 2 What you're about to hear

Speaker 2 is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 2 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 I remember, oh, it must be 2016.

Speaker 2 There was

Speaker 2 a Muslim guy who

Speaker 2 refused to believe that America was as hateful as everybody said it was. He was in a big media center.
He was a media guy, and it just didn't sit right with him.

Speaker 2 So he went to a very, very, very, very, very red place in Alaska. He came back and said, hmm,

Speaker 2 I think the press has this all wrong.

Speaker 2 His name is Riaz Batali. He has been on the program before.

Speaker 2 He's a dear friend, and we welcome him back to talk about what is happening with the Palestinians, Israel, anti-Semitism, all of this in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about pre-born.

Speaker 2 The world is short on good news right now, but let me give you some. Because of people like you, every single day, the Ministry of Pre-Born is helping to rescue 200 babies from being aborted.

Speaker 2 200 beautiful human beings, what is their future? What will they bring? And it's all because of you.

Speaker 2 Pre-born offers free ultrasound, so expecting mothers get to meet their unborn child or hear her or his heartbeat for the first time. That's not all, because it's not about just saving the babies.

Speaker 2 It's compassion for all people. These women coming to these clinics, they feel like they're trapped.
They feel like they don't have any other option.

Speaker 2 Nobody's standing by them. They don't have the money.
That's also what Preborn does. They offer moms maternity clothes, doctor visits.
They help

Speaker 2 the life of the child and the mom for up to two years because of generous people like you. Will you donate today? Dial pound250.
Say the keyword baby. That's pound250.
keyword baby.

Speaker 2 Or you can donate online at preborn.com slash Beck. That's preborn.com slash Beck or Pound250 keyword baby.
Sponsored by Preborn.

Speaker 2 Riaz.

Speaker 2 So good to see you again. Nice to see you.
It's been a long time. It has.
Yeah. It has.
How are you?

Speaker 3 I'm good. Parenting.
Parenting is worrying and exhausting.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yes.
Yeah. I mean,

Speaker 2 your kids are getting older now. They're

Speaker 3 seven? Six and seven. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And just wait until they get to high school. I know.
I know. It's horrible.

Speaker 3 It's horrible. I'm still in the cuddling phase.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Oh, don't, don't, don't miss a second of that.
Yeah. Don't miss a second of that.

Speaker 3 I took a video of my daughter. I said, promise me.
that you will always cuddle. And she said, yes.

Speaker 2 So I'm like, will this be useful when she's 13?

Speaker 3 Like, no, you promised. I have it on video.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it won't be. She'll just give you the eye roll.
But it'll come back around to it.

Speaker 2 So,

Speaker 2 Riaz, there is

Speaker 2 so

Speaker 2 much

Speaker 2 misinformation, disinformation, and hatred going on right now. Yes.
And so much fear. I can't imagine what it would feel like to be a Jew today.

Speaker 2 But I know you're Muslim.

Speaker 2 How does it feel to be a Muslim today?

Speaker 3 I imagine much the same. I think

Speaker 3 there are four things that both sides have in common right now. And I think that's true of any binary split we see in the world.

Speaker 3 One is that they are seeing the absolute worst of the other side on their screens. Whether you're Jewish, whether you're Muslim, you are seeing the absolute worst of the other side.

Speaker 3 Two is you're not seeing the absolute worst of your own side. And so we go with these blind spots where we're not aware of our own flaws and weaknesses.

Speaker 3 Three is that the people in charge represent fewer and fewer of the people that they're supposed to represent. I mean, all the protests in Israel from January were saying this is too extreme for us.

Speaker 3 And I think everyone felt this tightening, tightening, tightening, and it was going to spring load, and it did.

Speaker 3 And, you know, even America, I think the choices we have, I don't know if most people would say, yes, those are the choices I want.

Speaker 3 And so three is that these people representing represent fewer and fewer.

Speaker 3 And four is the consequences of those decision makers in their extreme positions are borne by the average person on both sides. So that is true of Russia, Ukraine.
That is true of Israel, Palestine.

Speaker 3 Those four things are in common. It's absolutely true.

Speaker 3 And it starts with the screens, is that the darkest part about the screens to me is not that it curates what you like to like, it curates what you like to hate.

Speaker 3 And that's where we're all walking around with the sense of dread and fear and anger is because we're cultivating a muscle that has never been cultivated to this extent every day. post after post.

Speaker 3 What do you hate? I like to hate that. I like to hate that.

Speaker 3 And so that's why we're all walking around primed and angry, and rage increases, is because these damn screens are designed to make you feel that.

Speaker 3 Because if the world is burning, you're not going to turn away from your screen. If it's all fine, you can put it down and enjoy life.

Speaker 3 And they said in Facebook pushed an angry emoji five times harder than a thumbs up.

Speaker 3 Five times harder, not twice. So everything you're getting is the dire worst.
Stories of hope, of connection don't make it through.

Speaker 3 Conflict is, it's funny, I'm still pitching times in Hollywood and people will say, what's the conflict? And I'm like, the world is actually burning. Can you smell it?

Speaker 3 It's actually, I can smell the burning of the world. And you want more conflict.
And there has to be a space for connection because that's where hope comes from.

Speaker 3 And if there's no hope, then it's all over.

Speaker 2 So that's what you have decided to do with the rest of your life, or at least this portion of your life, is to connect people. But

Speaker 2 let me drill in a little bit here on just what you just said.

Speaker 2 You said it probably feels a lot like being a Muslim today, except

Speaker 2 you have people in America

Speaker 2 shouting there's only one solution, chanting only one solution, death to the Jews.

Speaker 2 And so you have this history of 18 Holocausts in the world where the world just turned against and just wanted to kill all of them. So I think that is, that's kind of a special place.

Speaker 2 You know, there's one thing about anger and rage and it makes you do stupid things, but Hamas, Hamas,

Speaker 2 is serious about wiping every Jew off the planet. And that seems to be what a lot of people who are marching are kind of for.

Speaker 3 Well, so the unusual thing about my history is I'm a Muslim, but I was always sent to Jewish schools. And so, and you never knew that.

Speaker 3 I would wake up in a Muslim house in a Christian world where I went to Jewish schools where everyone thought I was Hindu because my last name is Patel.

Speaker 3 And there really is such commonality between Jews and Muslims. And I will say to you, I just turned 50, I have never met a Muslim ever.
And I've been to Saudi, I've been, that has ever

Speaker 3 not seen why Israel needs to exist and is not, in some ways, admiring of the Jewish community because of how they've what they came back from.

Speaker 3 And I do not see, so yes, it's funny, it depends on what echo chamber you're living in.

Speaker 3 Because I would say I have college professors who absolutely say to me, we can't say anything pro-Israel right now because we're going to get shouted down.

Speaker 3 But I also know in Hollywood that there's one position and one position only. And agent, a recent agent, made a statement on the Muslim side and she was asked to retract it, walk it back.

Speaker 3 And so again, because of our screens, we're all living in these echo chambers where one side is completely for Jews and one side is completely against.

Speaker 3 And yet, the solution is going to be somewhere in between where there's compatibility and camaraderie.

Speaker 2 So, let me ask you:

Speaker 2 a majority, new poll, majority of Muslim Americans believe Hamas was justified in committing the terrorist attacks against Israel. How would you answer that question?

Speaker 3 Absolutely not. I would say

Speaker 2 I

Speaker 3 do not support Hamas. I think it's a horrible organization, but I understand why it emerged.
Like, Hamas is a reaction of desperation.

Speaker 3 An analogy. If you look at January 6th and you see people sort of just going into the capital, if you look at that isolated incident, you're like, oh, they're absolutely crazy.

Speaker 3 They're horrible people. But there's obviously something that happened before that that led them to a point where they were that desperate.
Similarly, and again, this is an analogy.

Speaker 3 This is much more bloody, much more horrible. There is a desperation that has led to this.

Speaker 3 This is not something, again, when I said the three things in common, I do not think most Palestinians would like Muhammad to be in charge.

Speaker 3 It's the necessary evil that they have because there is no other option for them that can get them resources. We talk about our kids being worried about our kids.

Speaker 3 Can you imagine being a parent and your child does not have access to food and water and health care on a daily basis? I know many people from Palestine who are repeatedly strip searched.

Speaker 3 They try to bring in resources to the family. It's taken.
It is a reaction to something that history started before October 7th. Is it justified? No.

Speaker 3 I don't like Hamas, but I understand why it ended up that we got this Hamas. I do not think any Muslim would want this.

Speaker 2 So I believe that to be true,

Speaker 2 just like I believe the majority of those who went in on January 6th were led by

Speaker 2 some really bad people

Speaker 2 who

Speaker 2 were just saying things that maybe people wanted to hear.

Speaker 3 This is my analogy.

Speaker 2 Yes. So there are

Speaker 2 every time I've gone to Israel, I have met with Palestinians and I met with Jews off the record, once the cameras are away. And I have always found Palestinian parents, people who are working.

Speaker 2 Now, they're usually people who are crossing. into Israel and where the opportunities are.
Correct. And they'll always say the same thing.
I have no problem.

Speaker 2 I have no problem. I just,

Speaker 2 this is out of control. And so it is kind of like how we feel

Speaker 2 here in America, I think. A lot of people feel like, I don't want any of this war.
I don't want any of this division. But that's where it's going because of our leadership.

Speaker 3 Absolutely. I think everyone feels we're on the edge of this civil war.

Speaker 3 Who do you know who's like, yes, I'm open to this. I'm open to opportunities being gone for the the next years in a civil war.
It doesn't make sense.

Speaker 3 But I think the way it all works is more and more of these extreme positions are taken and the ordinary person is not being represented. And that's true worldwide.

Speaker 2 Okay, so how do we deal with, would you compare Hamas, what they did to Nazis?

Speaker 3 I would say yes. I think, I think, I mean,

Speaker 3 yes, in a way. I think that they are.
horrible people who are now working from an extreme position.

Speaker 3 I think there's no part of me that supports what they're doing. And I don't know any Palestinians who would say this is the way we would choose.
It's sort of like...

Speaker 2 No, I'm just talking about Hamas. Yeah, yeah.
Why do you hesitate on saying that that's a Nazi tactic? Kill all the Jews?

Speaker 3 I think I was just thinking from a political standpoint of where Nazism started. I was being very specific about the analysis.

Speaker 2 I know I watched your eyes. You were thinking, I wasn't avoiding.

Speaker 3 No, it was like sort of what are the levels. I think in the extreme of we don't want Jews to exist, yes.
Okay. Yes.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 when we went in, and this is something I've been struggling with, when we went into World War II, we didn't hate the Germans. We didn't hate the Germans.

Speaker 2 We hated the Nazis.

Speaker 2 How do we separate

Speaker 2 the Nazis, if you will, from the regular Palestinians?

Speaker 3 This is tricky when you're talking about a place that is so densely packed. I mean, the population of Gaza is so tightly packed that how do you, you and I constantly hear this human shields.

Speaker 3 I'm like, well, there's nowhere else to go.

Speaker 2 Why won't any of the Arab neighbors

Speaker 2 take them into their own country?

Speaker 3 Here's a perfect example.

Speaker 3 Another analogy. At the southern border, southern border, there are tons of Mexicans, Central Americans.
They're all Christians. How come we are not just opening up our borders to them?

Speaker 2 We're not in that situation.

Speaker 2 If they were all being slaughtered like Christians.

Speaker 3 To a large extent, they are. People People who are coming to the southern border are running away from absolute drug warfare.
My point is that there are other factors.

Speaker 3 There's economic factors, political factors. These are not countries with massive opportunity.
When you're saying, why can't they just accept them?

Speaker 3 Because they're all Muslims, there are other factors.

Speaker 3 There's struggles that they have in their own countries in a similar way that we don't open up our borders in the South, even though technically...

Speaker 3 Well, that's a separate story.

Speaker 3 But the idea is that even though you all worship the same prophet and you're all Christians in some way, there are political factors, there's social factors why you can't just open up your borders.

Speaker 3 I think sometimes when we look at the Arab world, we're like, you're all Muslims. Why can't you just take them in? But there are other factors.

Speaker 3 There's tons of problems in these other countries that they don't have opportunities. It's similar to America, that we don't have enough resources for our own citizens.

Speaker 3 So we cannot just open up the borders blindly. But I think if you look at Gaza, that's one thing, that's where Hamas is.

Speaker 3 But if you look at West Bank, there's also been, without Hamas, massive problems, massive issues that I look at the West Bank as more indicative of the problems because there is no Hamas there.

Speaker 3 And yet, there's no opportunity for these people. And there's still this constant surveillance and this constant strip searches.
And I know from people I actually talk to.

Speaker 3 So to me, the West Bank is very much the better case to look at because there is no Hamas there. And yet the treatment is so horrific for so long.

Speaker 3 And so extremism does grow when there's lack of opportunity.

Speaker 2 First of all, I don't call it the West Bank. I call it Judea and Samaria, the traditional names.
But

Speaker 2 I know people that live there. And and I know people, families, who have been slaughtered

Speaker 2 by their neighbors, just slaughtered in the middle of the night.

Speaker 3 I mean, you know, but there's factors behind that.

Speaker 3 For example, I was showing, someone was bringing up to me because I worked in Saudi, they showed me an article of someone and said, look, they hanged this man because he was gay.

Speaker 3 And so I went and found the original article and was like, well, no, because it was gay, but because he actually assaulted children.

Speaker 3 So when you say slaughtered, I don't know, I need to know the specifics of this. I think we tend to paint paint brown people in big strokes.

Speaker 3 And it's the same way that I think, analogously, white people get like all of them, half America is white supremacist. It's not.
I know that.

Speaker 3 But if you look at the other side, they will say, well, most white people are white supremacist.

Speaker 3 And the same way, this broad stroke, every time I look up news footage, it's always the same shot of large crowds of Muslims veiled who are wailing and then all men prostrating in prayer, which by the way, there are 15 million of my kind of Muslim Ismailis.

Speaker 3 We don't pray that way. And no one knows anything about us.
And men and women are equal.

Speaker 3 And prayers are led by a man, then a woman, then a man, then a woman, but no one's ever heard of us because there's a broad stroke being painted here. And that's what the screens do.

Speaker 3 And so I'd have to know the specifics of this situation. And that's why I'm like, the only solution is for people to actually talk because the edits we're getting are edits.

Speaker 3 What are you seeing in your edit? What are you not seeing in your edit?

Speaker 2 All right, back in just a second. Give me one minute.
Iran has wrapped up its rhetoric against Israel, sending oil prices surging, paired with a dip in U.S. oil reserves.

Speaker 2 our economy could be in a pinch. If we go to war, we're in real trouble.
Biden's decision to release over 40% of the U.S.

Speaker 2 strategic petroleum reserves might give us a brief break at the gas station or did.

Speaker 2 But as things grow more volatile, the question looms, reserves at historic lows since the 1980s, are we safeguarded against any kind of war or potential oil disruption.

Speaker 2 Right now, in these uncertain times, it is more important than ever. You know, they're talking now about, well, we're just

Speaker 2 giving our arms to Ukraine, but we're then buying all kinds of new things. Yeah, you're buying new things.
What is that doing to inflation?

Speaker 2 We are, everything is interconnected right now. And with wars and rumors of wars, you have to protect yourself.
In uncertain times, diversify with gold line.

Speaker 2 This week, buy five one ounce gold legal tender bar cards and you'll get two

Speaker 2 you get i'm sorry one two ounce silver maple flex card 20 copper mayflower rounds and 50 mind your business silver bars that's all for free call 866 goldline protect yourself have stability in your life call gold line do your own homework and find out if it is right for you 866 goldline or goldline.com 10 seconds station id

Speaker 2 So Riaz Pital is with us, a dear friend who really is trying to find solutions of connecting people.

Speaker 2 And you've been going around the country.

Speaker 2 For years.

Speaker 3 For years now. Yeah.

Speaker 2 How's it going?

Speaker 3 It is anytime I leave a group of people, I am hopeful because they connect, they are able to see each other, they're able to realize that they are not the edits that they see in the screen, and then they're able to talk.

Speaker 3 And it's such a productive element. We know things are divided.
We know we feel conflict. This experience, it's an hour, connect effect, and we do it on college campuses.

Speaker 3 We do it in community centers. We do it at companies, anywhere where there's existing communities that are lacking a sense of connection.
And they go through this hour show.

Speaker 3 I'm an entertainment person. It is actually a show.
It's entertaining. Because when you're entertained, your ego goes down.

Speaker 3 Everything, the problem is that even though we're all living in an information age, connection is not remotely information-based.

Speaker 3 I'll show you an edit, you show me an edit, I'll show you facts, you show me facts. And then we go nowhere because it all goes to the brain and ego.
This is a different way in that permeates.

Speaker 3 And so we take this group of people and we hard reset their humanity.

Speaker 3 And whether we've done it with progressives and liberals, progressives and conservatives in Orange County, we've done it across the gun debate.

Speaker 3 And people are able to see each other and realize, oh, I don't know you. I know edits about people like you, but you I don't know.
And then they're able to talk. My lane is personal transformation.

Speaker 3 So for me, the real thing is the loneliness epidemic. And part of the isolation from screens leads to this polarization.

Speaker 2 Well, how do I get a hold of you? How does somebody want to do this?

Speaker 3 It's info at connecteffect.us.

Speaker 3 And we go constantly to places. We arrive with our team.
There's a technology that we bring. There's a huge part of it that's on a screen.
And it goes between the real world and the screen world.

Speaker 3 Because that's the whole thing is we live our lives between between two worlds. One of them is real.
You and I sitting in this room, this is real. The edits on our screen are not, they're edits.

Speaker 2 So important.

Speaker 2 You're doing God's work.

Speaker 3 We are trying to get people to realize that there is hope if you connect with people. And it's the most important thing in the world: connection, and it's disappearing.

Speaker 2 Info at

Speaker 2 connecteffect.us.

Speaker 2 Yes. Thanks, Reyes.
Nice to see you. Good to see you.
Back in just a minute.

Speaker 2 The Glenn Beck Program. When the time comes, are you ready? If something bad goes down,

Speaker 2 something always seems to be on the verge nowadays,

Speaker 2 how are you going to react? Are you prepared? I always preach preparedness because I think it's kind of like the end of the Bible. Everybody says, well, we know how the book ends.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but there's some scary times in there. And the Lord didn't give us that for the scary time.
He did like, you know what, I'm going to freak everybody out after that Jesus thing. It was too soft.

Speaker 2 Now I'm going to freak people out. No, he said it so we would know what's coming and we wouldn't be freaked out.

Speaker 2 Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Speaker 2 That was a tough half hour.

Speaker 2 Riaz is a very good friend of mine. I love him to death.

Speaker 2 And I think he is a truly honest guy who is truly honestly seeking. And I know that because he has changed

Speaker 2 my mind on some things and a way to view things. And I've changed his mind.
And it is not easy for somebody who grows up with a certain ideology, you know, and I'm talking about everybody,

Speaker 2 to say, oh, you know what? I have that wrong. It's really difficult.

Speaker 2 I will listen to everybody's point of view as long as you are seeking, honestly seeking truth.

Speaker 2 And the truth that I find

Speaker 2 in the last half hour is

Speaker 2 that we must look at individuals.

Speaker 2 Now, I happen to be at a place to where I look at at the Palestinians in Israel, in and around Israel, a lot like I do the Germans, which we never, I'm from German heritage,

Speaker 2 we never hated the Germans. Once the Nazis were gone, we didn't hate the Germans, but we did bomb the Germans

Speaker 2 because we needed to kill all the Nazis.

Speaker 2 And when it was over, there were still some Nazis alive.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 we did hunt those people down and either try them or shoot them if we got into a battle with them.

Speaker 2 But war is war. And when your

Speaker 2 ideology, I can make the same excuse for the Germans. They had gone through things that I believe we did.

Speaker 2 Because of Woodrow Wilson, I believe we created the conditions for Adolf Hitler. But that doesn't matter in the end.

Speaker 2 What matters is, will people have the courage to stand up and fight against their own leadership if it becomes out of control?

Speaker 2 We're going to have to answer that question as well, I think.

Speaker 2 If this doesn't...

Speaker 2 Look, this is happening all over the world.

Speaker 2 We don't agree with our leadership all over the world.

Speaker 2 But I have zero tolerance of anybody who says, gas the Jews.

Speaker 2 I have zero tolerance of

Speaker 2 people who are chanting, there's only one solution. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 I have no tolerance for the people who are doing that. I'd like to understand you,

Speaker 2 but that doesn't mean I excuse you by any stretch of the imagination.

Speaker 2 I don't know

Speaker 2 I am trying very hard

Speaker 2 to be

Speaker 2 a better man every day

Speaker 2 and I don't at this point want to strike out in anger on anything

Speaker 2 our emotions have to be intact It would help us all to be a little more spock-like right now, because everything we do will have consequences

Speaker 2 and what I've been talking about all day today has been what we're doing at the Blaze to shore ourselves up because

Speaker 2 the time is coming when we won't be able to do business I believe if the world goes into war there'll be a lot of voices that will just disappear because there cannot be dissent is what they will say we can't be un-American

Speaker 2 And one of the things that we do is, you know, we have, we've done a lot on COVID. We've done a lot on the World Economic Forum.
We've done a lot on ESG,

Speaker 2 transgenderism.

Speaker 2 We

Speaker 2 do not play the game because to us, it's not a game.

Speaker 2 Unfortunately,

Speaker 2 this last summer, this started under Biden, but this last summer, we've reached a breaking point.

Speaker 2 My Facebook page alone is down 90%.

Speaker 2 Now, I know the ratings and I know the power of this program, and there is nothing,

Speaker 2 nothing that isn't going up 20, 25, 35%,

Speaker 2 let alone go down 90%.

Speaker 2 This is their algorithm. And they started it this summer when we were talking about the Great Reset.

Speaker 2 I did a special on the dark future and I said at the top of that, this will probably get us shut down and in a way it did.

Speaker 2 Everything that we put out online, all of our stories, everything that we do has been demonetized. So what that means is if we are going to have a news division, we can't pay for it.

Speaker 2 And they know this. And that's why they're doing this to these companies.
They're going to put us all out of business if we rely on advertisement.

Speaker 2 So earlier today, I announced part of the beginning of Blaze TV Plus.

Speaker 2 If you go to theblaze.com,

Speaker 2 we want you to be able to go right directly to our website. And I know people don't do that now.

Speaker 2 They get it from their news feed, but this is a mistake because you're only getting maybe 10% of what I post.

Speaker 2 So you can go to Blaze TV, sorry, you can go to theblaze.com and get your news. And we have taken all advertising off.
There is not a single advertiser.

Speaker 2 We're hoping that you will join Blaze TV Plus and you will help us. Because as we showed you last hour, we are doing all kinds of things.
We are adding more opinion. We are adding experts

Speaker 2 in different realms. We are also

Speaker 2 doing now documentaries. One will come out hopefully every month is our plan.

Speaker 2 And it'll be a documentary. This one is on Lahaina.
What happened? Everybody walked away, but what really happened there? Why did it happen?

Speaker 2 What was this thing about the governor saying we're looking into buying the land right away?

Speaker 2 We went in and did our homework, and you'll see what we found next week on Blaze TV Plus.

Speaker 2 Also, we are working on something else because I believe that the time has come for not only the mainstream media to start responding to us and us stop responding to them because we're leading the way now.

Speaker 2 The next phase of this, and there are a lot of people that are doing it,

Speaker 2 but I think we can do a really good job on this.

Speaker 2 We are going to begin

Speaker 2 to offer

Speaker 2 scripted programming. We're really excited about a new series.
It takes us in a different direction, but it's a whole new division, so it's not going to affect anything.

Speaker 2 We have a new program beginning called Dusty Bluffs, and it's an episodic, and it's our love letter to Small Town America.

Speaker 2 It centers around two grown men, or they claim to be grown men, MP and Jer.

Speaker 2 And they are paper boys for the Dusty Bluffs cassette.

Speaker 2 That's the local newspaper. And it's a small desert town in which they both live.
And the dudes love their jobs.

Speaker 2 You know, they deliver papers out of a dune buggy. But when the owner of the

Speaker 2 Dusty Bluffs Gazette

Speaker 2 is wanted by the law and slips out of town, everybody feels betrayed, decides to boycott the newspaper. After the Gazette's lone reporter quits, they're faced with a massive dilemma.

Speaker 2 Figure out a way to keep the paper, which they never read, going,

Speaker 2 or walk away from the best jobs they've ever had.

Speaker 2 Here's a little preview of just some of the

Speaker 2 highlights from these idiots.

Speaker 11 Made in China.

Speaker 2 Okay, good. Oh, good.

Speaker 14 Mr. Bratcher,

Speaker 11 by chance, do you know if these vases are from the Dong dynasty?

Speaker 11 Lock them up! up!

Speaker 13 Broly, it's hard to hear you with all that caca in your mouth.

Speaker 11 Yeah, why don't you take some of that caca out of your mouth? We can smell your breath and clear up here.

Speaker 2 Come to be told about this.

Speaker 2 No one, dude. Boys, help!

Speaker 2 Jerry's joking!

Speaker 2 I think we're gonna take off!

Speaker 2 Nope.

Speaker 2 Actually, we might just chill for a minute. We'll just chill.

Speaker 2 It's Tommy!

Speaker 2 Tom!

Speaker 11 Colleen, grab a couple precious items and get out of the house. There's a maniac inside.

Speaker 5 Don't go to sleep.

Speaker 2 Shut the line!

Speaker 2 Shut the line!

Speaker 13 I'm not sure if you'd like to read the news, but.

Speaker 2 I think you'll like this. It is just silly and fun and feel-good, and you like everybody in it, and it's something the whole family can sit down and watch.

This is how big tech and our ruling elites do it.

Speaker 6 They decide they want to suppress a story and they use all sorts of tactics and they leverage all the players in big tech to crush it.

Speaker 7 We have been demonetized more times than I can count for telling the truth about COVID, the BLM riots, government corruption, vaccine safety, that's that's a big one, and so many more.

Speaker 2 Stories that we were willing to take the hit on because they were things you needed to know about.

Speaker 10 We have been demonetized over and over. And honestly, fine, who cares?

Speaker 7 But what does matter is the truth.

Speaker 10 Every time they demonetize a story or label it as misinformation and lies, they just suppress it so no one gets to hear the actual truth.

Speaker 8 Most Americans get their news on social media in their feeds, and big tech uses the demonetization and misinformation labels as tools to make sure those stories never get to your feeds.

Speaker 8 Well, we're sick of it and we've decided to get rid of them entirely.

Speaker 2 We've removed all ads on Blaze News because we've decided rather than being dependent on ad exchanges, we'd rather rely on you.

Speaker 10 And we're investing in more quality content like expert analysis, insightful commentary, and real authentic investigative reporting.

Speaker 2 Go to theblaze.com to check out the all-new ad-free experience and see for yourself. I think you're going to love it.

Speaker 2 Glenn Back.

Speaker 2 We had a pilot yesterday on Horizon Air

Speaker 2 try to shut the engines down mid-flight the captain and co-pilot grabbed him and stopped him and radioed the ground here's what it sounded like give you a heads up we've got the uh guy that tried to shut the engines down uh out of the cockpit um

Speaker 2 and he uh doesn't sound like he's causing any issue in the back right now i think he's the dude

Speaker 2 other than that uh yeah we won long for them as soon as we get on the ground and park i love this i Pilots are just so,

Speaker 2 that looks like clear skies. It'll be 73 when we land.
I mean,

Speaker 2 the guy tried to shut the pilots or shut the engines down. Don't know why exactly.

Speaker 2 But engine power was not lost.

Speaker 2 And they got him out of the cockpit and subdued him.

Speaker 2 This is one of the stories on

Speaker 2 Blaze Media today at theblaze.com. There's lots of stories on there today that I think you'll find interest.

Speaker 2 The lead story is: American Jews are rushing out to buy firearms and practice shooting in the face of terrorism abroad and anti-Semitism at home. It is really

Speaker 2 horrific to see what is happening here at home with anti-Semitism.

Speaker 2 Poll finds Americans overwhelmingly support Israel's war on Hamas, but younger Americans defend Hamas.

Speaker 2 We have a split. If you've gone to school and gone to college, you're split.
You've been

Speaker 2 brainwashed.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 slight majority, 51%.

Speaker 2 51% of 1824-year-olds said the terror attack by Hamas on Israel could be justified.

Speaker 2 Could be justified.

Speaker 2 If you are 65 and older, 95% said Israel was right.

Speaker 2 84% of all respondents sided with Israel.

Speaker 2 It's a frightening number coming from 18 to 24-year-olds, 51%.

Speaker 2 These are our leaders of the future, and they side with Hamas.
