Are Mexican Cartel Members Building Their Own Texas Town?! | Guests: Rep. Brad Wenstrup & Todd Bensman | 9/20/23

Optimism isn't sunshine and rainbows.

It's fixing things, changing the way we fix things.

It's running the world on smarter energy.

Because if optimism never stops, then change can't either.

G.E.

Vernova, the energy of change.

Let me tell you about Grip 6.

I am a big fan of making things here in America.

We have to make things in America.

And quite honestly, we need a parallel economy because this economy is intentionally being collapsed and you're being boxed out of more and more things.

And the Treasury Department yesterday just did something really, really super special for ESG.

We'll get into that later.

Grip Six is a company that makes everything here in America.

For instance, when you buy their socks, for instance, you're supporting the American ranchers who raise the specially bred sheep that produce the modern world, wool.

Then they shear the sheep.

Then that wool goes to an American manufacturer who washes the wool, processes it, and then weaves it into socks that will keep your feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

This is modern American wool.

The American business owners who have accepted the risk that comes along with only using American-made products and American labor, we need to support.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.

Stand

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glen Beck Program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glen Beck Program.

Today, we're going to talk about your rights.

What rights have you lost?

Oh, you know, that was hard to say in 2009.

You just see them setting the stage for the loss of rights.

It's not hard today.

In fact, one of the most important rights that you have

really going away in California.

And California is no longer the place you ought to be.

California is a real problem.

They, in fact, are crossing one of my red lines.

I have said for years,

I will not be a part of this.

I won't be a part of this.

If this happens,

I don't know what, but it's a red line for me.

Okay.

Now what?

I'll tell you that red line and the loss of your rights.

What's going on in California?

The three things today.

Gravely disturbing.

All revolving around the Constitution and your rights will go there in 60 seconds first.

Some people don't spend a lot of time focusing on self-sufficiency and preparedness, but you have to.

Americans are always the ones who are supposed to take care of themselves so we can take care of others.

I've been a prepper before it was cool to be a prepper, and it's still not cool.

So I'm waiting for the day when I'm suddenly cool.

But mypatriotsupply.com.

Stu shaking his head.

Never coming.

Never.

It's never coming.

Yeah, okay.

Well,

the food that you can get from MyPatriot Supply is really, really good, really delicious.

It is the, I think, the best nutritious food, best, highest quality food out on the market for something that'll last 25 years.

Wide variety of delicious food kits offering 2,000 calories a day for optimum strength

under stress.

Don't forget about water filtration.

Water filtration and purification products, these are perfect for your bug out bag, survival supply, camping pack.

I remember we took

one of these filters from My Patriot Supply.

This is when we were probably not the best place to go intern.

We had one of the interns go down with this water filtration and drink water directly from a mud puddle in the street of New York.

And it was absolutely pure.

Do you remember that?

I do remember that.

At least that's what, Your Honor, we thought for sure it was absolutely pure.

And we should say, God rest his soul.

No, he actually was totally fine.

It worked perfectly.

Yeah, I know.

Order by 3 p.m.

Your item shipped the same day.

It's mypatriotsupply.com.

That's mypatriotsupply.com.

Your basic rights are under attack.

And

I can't tell you every day I look at the news.

And I urge you, if you have not subscribed to my free email newsletter, please do that.

You'll get it every morning.

It is all of the show prep that I look at.

It takes us you know, 21 hours to put it all together.

Right after the show, we begin looking for the stories that we're going to talk about today.

I am getting to fewer and fewer of these stories every day, which is really frustrating because

I'd say 90% of them are really

important for you to be aware of and understand.

But I can't get to all of them on a three-hour show.

I urge you to please sign up for my free email newsletter at Glenbeck.com.

You should read this every day.

Anyway, it's free.

So

your rights are under attack.

And I want to start in California with an alarming new law that thinks it can override decades of Supreme Court precedents for the protection of parental rights.

The question is,

who owns the children?

Who is responsible for the children?

Is it the parent, which has been this way for thousands of years?

Except in communist China and communist Soviet Union and communist countries.

That's it.

For as long as man has roamed the earth, parents are responsible for their children.

But not in California.

They want to force parents to affirm their trans children or else.

It is a terrifying intrusion of government into the home and a major warning sign of even more tyranny to come.

Now, I want to show you, this is the

ATF,

the American Federation of Teachers, Randy Weingarten.

This is her talking about parental rights.

Cut one.

Those same words that you heard in terms of

warning segregation post-Brown v.

Board of Education, those same words you hear today.

It's not, you know,

I was kind of god-smacked when

I was talking to Southern Property Law Center and they showed me the same words:

choice,

parental rights, and attempt to divide parents versus teachers and that point it was white parents versus other parents but it's the same kind of words yeah

those words you know they come they come together a lot of times in all kinds of different scenarios So she's talking to the Southern Poverty Law Center,

one of the most disreputable centers out there.

It is nothing but a leftist organization that is doing the bidding of the left and trying to

whitewash whatever they want whitewashed and smeared whatever they need smeared.

So the Southern Poverty Law Center showed her parental rights akin to segregation.

Here's an LGBT activist.

Cut two.

No such thing as parental rights.

It's not recognized in law.

It's not in the charter.

It doesn't exist.

Children's rights, however, are recognized and have been for a very long time.

Parents have responsibility, which is recognized in the law, but no rights.

If your child does not want to tell you something about them, that's your problem.

Okay, here's another one.

The government's activist number two.

Of this idea of parents' rights, that parents have a right to know.

They have a right to know if their child is going by a different name or using different pronouns in school.

And the thing that keeps hitting me about this is that parents don't have rights, not parents' rights.

Kids have rights.

Okay, stop.

So you hear this?

Now,

let me just ask you.

Do you remember when the left was so upset if you talked about anything in school that had anything to do with God?

You had to have an opt-out.

Until the final straw was just chasing everything out.

You couldn't do it.

Teacher couldn't keep a Bible on her desk, not sharing it, just something that she was reading.

Do you remember this case?

She would read it during lunchtime.

The kids were out of her classroom, and she would read it, and that was not right.

Had to stop.

Parental rights.

You didn't need to write this down before because we weren't this insane before.

Parental rights.

Can you imagine saying to the left, you don't have a right to know what I'm teaching and what I'm doing.

If your child comes home and they say, by the way, I'm a Christian.

I'm a devout Christian.

I learned it at school.

You, mom and dad, you're an atheist.

I've already turned you into the school.

And if you say anything to me, they can take me out of the home.

See, you have to look at it from all scenarios.

You have to look at it from every aspect.

You remember when we said

the government has no place in anyone's marriage, do not redefine marriage because then you have to redefine everything.

And everybody said, that's just a loss.

And now we're redefining everything.

We're in the insane world.

And this is just the beginning.

This is just the beginning.

And parents have got to stand up.

Now, let me tell you two other things that are going on.

In California, you also have

California

now struggling.

They can't pay their unemployment insurance because they've been in the hole forever with this.

They've been taking out low interest loans from us, the United States government.

Your tax dollars have gone to pay for the unemployment insurance of the state of California because they can't balance a budget.

They can't get it done.

So they're paying us low interest on the loans.

Do you think that's ever going to be paid back?

No.

Here's what they're doing now.

California's far-left government is now working with the Biden administration to bail out striking Hollywood actors

on your dime.

This is happening.

California's ultra-liberal leaders are on the verge of giving unemployment payments now to striking Hollywood actors and writers.

Both houses of the legislature passed a bill to that effect this week.

It only needs Governor Gavin Newsom's signature.

And do you think he's not going to sign that?

So here's what you have.

You have unions

who are taking all of this money from all of their union members.

And part of the deal is,

if you have a job and the union says, we got to strike, then you're going to get a portion of your pay.

The union will help you out.

But you can't get unemployment insurance because you are employed.

All you have to do is go back to work.

If you're paying people to strike from the union

also get unemployment insurance, you can strike forever.

See, the idea is which one's going to fold first?

Is it going to be the labor union or is it going to be the business?

Which one's going to, and it hurts both sides.

And so both are incentivized to get to the table.

Would you be for?

bailing out the giant Hollywood moguls and the studios.

I wouldn't be for that.

No.

You can't make it work.

You can't make it work.

It's your choice.

Okay.

So why are we bailing out the union workers?

Why are we bailing out California, who now cannot make its own payments on insurance for everybody else, unemployment insurance, can't do it.

They're in the hole.

Now they want to add unions to that.

And what happens when it happens in California?

You think it's not going to happen in Michigan?

You are going to be paying for the unions.

But that's what happens when you have over $2 billion

going into Joe Biden's campaign from the labor unions.

He's the most labor-friendly president of all time.

By the way,

so you get Gavin Newsom's signature, that's happening.

Then what has to happen?

Well, then it's just because it's administration.

So does the president need to act?

No, it's in the secretary's purview.

So the Secretary of Labor has to make this decision on how to spend our tax dollars.

So the Secretary of Labor has to

personally approve the request.

Now, who is this?

Well, she's the acting secretary for the administration because the Congress won't approve her.

So they're just going ahead with it anyway.

Just go ahead, take the job, and you're just acting.

You're not actually the secretary.

Why won't Congress approve her?

Because she was the one who came from California and was in charge of the state's unemployment program.

She oversaw $32 billion in fraudulent payments during the pandemic.

Time for a promotion.

That's my red line.

My red line has always been, I am not bailing out California.

I'm not bailing it out.

I'm not bailing out any of these states.

I've always wanted to live in California.

You know why I didn't?

Because it was insane.

I knew it wouldn't work.

I didn't want to spend all of my money

paying for taxes for things that I knew would only make society worse and knew that it would collapse at some point.

So I never got the beach of California.

And yet now I have to pay for their mistakes.

How do you feel about that, Alabama?

How do you feel about that, Michigan?

You probably like it, at least if you're a politician, because, you know, your state's going to need it.

Another reason not to live in Chicago.

It wouldn't work.

More in a minute.

First, let me tell you about relief factor sleep.

Stu, how are you doing with your sleep?

Well, at the moment,

I'm wide awake.

You're what?

It's hard not to be right now.

Yeah.

Anyway, if you feel groggy

and you're just, you can't get a good night's sleep, or if you've taken medication, ambient is dangerous.

Man, I took that over in England.

I don't think I should show the video.

My kids took a video of me because they were gone and I was going to go to sleep so I could catch up on my sleep.

I took some ambient and then they came home before it kicked in and I'm like, oh, I want to stay up with you guys.

And then they started taking videos of dad.

Wait a minute.

How do we get access to this?

Oh my gosh.

I don't.

Oh my gosh.

I was, I did like a puppet show for them.

It was quite...

It's a puppet show.

Oh, it's quite the video.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't really like ambien at all.

That's why I go for relief factor sleep because you don't feel it in your system and you're not doing crazy puppet shows.

I'm just saying.

You remember everything and you don't feel groggy the next day.

First bottle, 1995, 20 bucks to get the feeling of complete relaxation and contentment as you drift away into dreamland.

Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800, the number for relief, 800 for relief, or go to relieffactor.com.

That's relief factor sleep.

10 seconds, station ID.

Tonight, on the Wednesday night special, your basic rights under attack.

I'm starting with California, the parental rights thing.

Who gets to raise children?

The state or you?

California wants to force parents to affirm their trans children or else.

So what are law-abiding Americans supposed to do when elected left-wing officials act as if the Constitution is optional at best and at worst, act like it's completely irrelevant?

Constitution for the left and the right, I believe, just matters on whether it's on our side or not.

If it's not on our side, then we're not going to talk about it.

This Pandora's box was cracked open by America's leaders during the 2020 pandemic, and

they are playing God now with your inalienable rights.

Join me tonight, Parental Advisory, The Explicit Plot to Control Your Kids.

That's tonight at 9 p.m.

Eastern on Blaze TV, 9.30youtube.com slash Glenn Beck.

It's intense.

I mean, you don't want to just jump into that.

You probably want to ramp up a little bit, you know?

Nope.

Maybe watch something a little earlier.

Nope.

Maybe you want to hear something about the new Office of Gun Violence Prevention.

Oh, maybe you want to tune in to hear a little bit about that maybe an hour earlier, 8 p.m.

Eastern for Studios of America.

I'm just saying.

I have not heard about the new gun violence

of gun violence?

Yeah, it's going to be announced this week.

You need a new office to stop gun violence.

Sure.

And it's one of these things where like your first complaint might be, Hey, I'm going to spend billions of dollars on another new government office.

And then you realize the best case scenario is that we just waste money and nothing happens.

Because the other side of this is you spend billions of dollars and they take away your rights.

Okay, I've got something for you.

How about this one?

Have you heard of the new

trauma-informed care program

for journalists who are experiencing online harassment.

That sounds like a worthwhile program.

Yeah, this is the National Science Foundation.

They're giving a grant to George Washington University, their Expert Voices Together program.

And they're going to provide

about a million dollars for the project in 21.

That's what they did.

University receives another $5 million now in 2024.

And they are looking at the links between two significant problems impacting trust in contemporary communication systems.

The broad and rapid spread of misinformation and the abuse and harassment directed at members of expert communities, such as journalists, scientists, and public health officials.

Now, I've had this rant many times, but I'm totally against the 28th Amendment, which states you must go on social media.

You should not.

That should not be something that's forced on people.

And the fact that it is, and then they have to, of course, get harassed while they're there is really bad.

Well, I'm wondering if I can get

any kind of payment from the government for the harassment that I've taken you forever.

You should legitimately apply.

And we could pull the worst tweets that people say about you.

We should apply for you to get part of this grant.

I mean, this would be fantastic.

This is, well, I'm not part of the expert class.

That's what they'll say.

This is just for the expert class.

You're a doctor.

I know I'm a doctor.

You have a doctorate.

That's right.

You are an expert.

That's what you don't want to be a

doctor in sociology and social media.

The Glenn Beck program.

You're doctoral fluid.

Yes.

You can just move around to any category you want.

Of course, I can.

Last month, an enormous amount of data was stolen from two of the most popular casinos in America: MGM Resorts and Caesars.

You got your driver's license, Social Security,

loyalty membership included.

Yeah, yeah.

Cyber criminals have involved nothing but the best tech, and they have nothing but the best intentions when they commit these identity

thefts.

They're wonderful.

They love it.

Now,

it might not work out well for you,

but you know, hey, there is no such thing as a mob.

Equally important to realize, like the mob doesn't exist, are the measures that you can take to keep all of this stuff from happening.

This is where Lifelock by Norton installed can save you so much money and hassle.

The promo code is Glenn.

Back in April,

I gave a speech that

everybody has said is the most powerful speech I've ever given.

And I've been asked to repeat that speech several times.

And

I am going to repeat it at least one one other time here.

This time, the Eagle Forum has asked me to speak and give this speech at the Mountain America Exposition Center.

It's happening October 19th.

And you can get your tickets at eventbrite.com.

Just search for Glenn Back.

It's about

the fact that we are a covenant nation.

And if we don't return to a covenant nation and become a covenant people,

it's not going to work.

It's just there's no way out on any of this stuff without God.

There's just none.

You don't want to miss this event.

You bring your family, your teenagers, young adult children, principles of the Constitution, and the promise that God made for America if we keep our promise.

Covenant, covenant nation.

Go to Eventbrite, search for Glenn Beck,

Covenant, and you'll be able to find that.

Now, Now,

there's a couple of other things.

You know, the F-35 jet went missing, and we don't know exactly what happened.

May I just pass this along?

Okay,

Stu, I want you to think this through with me.

What

number

is F in the alphabet?

Six?

Six.

Okay.

Six

F

plus 35.

F 35.

What's it equal?

6 plus 3 plus 5.

No, 6 plus 35.

Oh, okay.

So 41.

41.

Who was the 41st president of the United States?

I know that, obviously.

And I think that's important for people to understand.

It's George H.W.

Bush.

Sounds like you were stalling there to Google it or something.

What do you mean?

George H.W.

Bush.

Was is George H.W.

Bush mainly known for?

What was the big event in his

Iraq War?

No, well, the Gulf War.

The Gulf.

The Gulf War.

The Gulf War is...

The Gulf is the

Persian Gulf.

Yes, the Persian Gulf, yes.

Persia.

What is Persia?

Holy crap.

What are we doing here?

Persia.

What is Persia?

Persia?

It's a cat.

It's Iran.

It's Iran.

Oh.

It's Iran, which is so far away, according to the flock of Seagulls.

Flock of Seagulls formed in 1979, which is also a song by the Smashing Pumpkins, 1979.

Who formed the Smashing Pumpkins in Chicago?

Who was it?

Billy Corgan.

Billy Corgan.

Yes, thank you.

Right.

I just said Bill randomly is right.

Who has the initials, BC, besides Billy Corgan?

Bill Cosby.

No.

Bill Clinton is what everybody thinks of, of course.

And you know who was born in Chicago?

Who's related to that BC?

Hillary Clinton.

Just stock this up to another

body count.

I mean, it's frightening, isn't it?

Well, no one died.

It is.

Well, yeah.

But case closed on this one, I think.

Oh, I think the case is definitely.

I think closing it would definitely definitely be the best thing we could do.

Close this particular case right now.

Let me tell you something else that's going on in California.

California has just passed an 11% gun and ammo excise tax.

Now,

I don't know.

A little

unconstitutional?

No, this is going to fund the critical school safety measures and the proven violence pretension programs that

save lives.

What are those proven?

What?

California seems to have a problem.

And you're going to fund the critical school safety measures.

What are those?

And is this kind of like, remember that bridge went down in Pennsylvania like in the 1800s?

And they're like, that's just going to rebuild.

This tax is just going to rebuild that bridge.

Well, they rebuilt it like in.

1855

and they're still paying that tax.

Yeah.

Okay.

I know that the Jonestown flood was one of those.

I don't know if

it was the bridge one, but that in Pennsylvania, and they did this,

and they've raised it.

They didn't get rid of it.

They've raised it multiple times.

Of course they have.

Okay.

In 1983, the U.S.

Supreme Court, they had a case, Minneapolis Star Tribune and Tribune Company versus Minnesota Commissioner of Revenue because he put a tax on paper and ink that's used in publication.

Unconstitutional infringement on the First Amendment right, the court said, a power to tax differentially as opposed to a power to tax generally gives a government a powerful weapon against the taxpayer selected.

So is this still going to apply now to guns?

And if it

remember, that is a constitutionally protected right.

So

what else is this?

I mean, will this, can you imagine a tax for freedom of speech?

A tax for religion.

You know what that sounds like.

A,

what is it, a jizza?

I think it's jizza tax.

Do you remember that, Stu?

I do not.

The jizza tax is a Muslim tax in places like

Saudi Arabia or in

Iran.

You just pay the jizza tax.

All you have to do is you just, you want to pray, you want to read the Bible, you want to be a Christian, that's okay, just pay the tax.

And then you pay the tax, whatever that might be, and you can be Christian.

Good luck with that.

Okay.

That's exactly what this is.

Constitutional right.

And they're just going to tell you, go ahead.

We're not, no, we're just going to tax it just a little bit, just a little bit.

And maybe your church.

Or maybe, you know, maybe if you want to tell your kids that they belong to you, maybe we tax you for that.

Or, you know what?

We'll tax you if you don't get the COVID vaccine.

You think that they wouldn't do that?

You start going down this road.

You have everything.

First of all, property tax, I think, is the most immoral tax out there.

I can pay for my house, but my kids won't be able to live in my house unless they they have my kind of income because my house is never paid for.

So I can't leave my house to my kids unless I leave enough money to continually pay for the tax because you never own your own property.

That's immoral.

That's a really fascinating question.

What is the most immoral tax?

Because I would say death tax to me seems incredible.

But this is the same.

This is the same kind of thing.

You don't ever, you can pay for it, but you don't ever truly own it

because they can take it away from you at any time.

Yeah, it's impossible to, like, you can own.

You can own a car if I don't want to pay the state tax for the license.

I don't drive the car, but they can't take the car away.

Right.

They can take your house away.

Right.

They will take your house away.

That's a good, it's certainly a good candidate.

I think we could have an entire awards ceremony on the most immoral tax.

I mean, you know, they're already doing it with gas tax, but that's not a constitutional right.

It's not a constitutional right.

But you don't think that it is coming that if you want to drive that gasoline car, that's fine.

It's just going to cost you a lot in taxes.

Oh, it's new.

You go ahead.

They're going to try to jack those up.

As people show their disinterest for electric cars,

you know, we've, we had the early adopters who jumped on the bandwagon and it seemed like explosive growth.

Yeah.

But at some point, you hit the people like me who don't really have interest.

I mean, like, I think some of the electric cars are cool, but

I like gas-powered engines.

And

I don't want to do it.

I also want to be able to drive as far as I want to in my car.

Yeah.

And so when I don't do that and they try to force me into doing it by raising every cost around it, I mean, until they just make it just blankets.

Right.

This is just a nudge before the shove.

They're trying to get you to not buy a firearm.

They They can't do it any other way.

So they'll just add taxes to it so you can't afford it.

And if you think it's going to end at 11%, you're sadly mistaken.

And, you know, look at your property tax.

Remember, the goal is that you'll own nothing.

You'll own nothing by 2030.

Well, one way to do that is just to make sure your property taxes are sky high.

They're already doing it with a mortgage.

So if you have a mortgage and it's not a fixed rate or you want to buy a new mortgage, you're not going to be able to buy a new house.

The tax, the inflation tax

that is being charged by the Fed, the people who created it,

what are you going to do?

You can't get around that.

So you can't buy.

And then if they raise your

city taxes or your property taxes, that's the way all of this stuff happens.

And they are now doing it in California.

If it stands in California, there's a real problem.

More on this tonight at 9 o'clock on my Wednesday night special on Blaze TV.

If you're not a member of Blaze TV, we invite you to be.

We'd love to have you as a member of the family.

I think it's becoming more and more important, especially with things like

Russell Brand.

This Russell Brand thing is disturbing.

I'm not not defending him.

I mean, that's disturbing in a multitude of ways.

In a multitude of ways.

But,

you know,

one of the people that said, you know,

he raped me or threw me against the wall, whatever it is, one of them said, I was approached by someone

to tell my story and they said that they would help me.

If you don't think, I mean, you just have to have everything in your life clean, you know, you just have to have it all, you know, have it under control now and confess and just get it all out and do your best to make it all right.

Otherwise, you're doomed.

I mean, look at Russell Brand.

Yeah.

Again, obviously the

ideal thing is to not commit any crimes.

Correct.

Correct.

Correct.

And I'm not defending him on any of that.

I know you're not.

I'm just saying the timing is really interesting.

And the timing is fascinating.

And what's happened to him before he's convicted is fascinating.

Yeah.

They've already taken all of his money,

his ability to earn money on YouTube

because

I guess they can do that.

So

the Blaze has never been more important.

Please.

Let's stay together and help.

Makes you feel good, you know.

I have to be honest, the truth is, I'm really here to talk about Bracal sheets from my pillow.

I'm sorry, Stu.

I'm letting, I'm just saying it.

I'm just saying it.

We have been under the thumb of the Percal industry.

Big Per Cal.

Big Per Cal for a long time.

And you know their sheets.

They're great and everything.

But Mr.

Percal is

a nightmare.

He's a real nightmare.

I mean, Per Cal is just...

Good.

That's how I would translate it.

I don't know what that means.

They're nice, good quality.

good front.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Sorry.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Sorry.

Let's do the character here.

Let's pretend we don't know what the hell a Percal sheet is.

Okay.

Or if it's per cal or per cale, because every time we say it, someone online says, it's per kale, but they've told us specifically over and over again it's per cal.

Yeah, and we answer to our overlords.

Anyway, we want to tell you about the closeout sale on these really good sheets that Percal has something to do with.

We talk a lot about the government taking your money, but you really don't want to be a victim of either the government or cyber criminals.

They both really have a desire for your cash and everything you've put into your life to make your life prosperous.

They want to take that away from you.

That's not exactly a surprise, but cyber criminals are now trying to go after your home.

And that, I think, is a surprise to a lot of people because, you know, you think of, I had this situation a while ago where I had a credit card charge that I did not recognize in a state I was not in for Papa John's pizzas.

Now, look, it's believable that I would order multiple Papa John's pizzas.

That's definitely something that could theoretically happen, but it did not happen in this case.

But that's like, what, I I don't know, 20, 30, 40 bucks.

We're talking about your home here.

Like, think about this.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars of equity could be at stake, and Home Title Lock can protect you from this.

They put a shield around your home's title.

And the instant they detect tampering or anything like that, any weird activity, they can shut it down fast.

First things first, you got to verify you aren't already the victim because it takes months and months from when the crime starts to when you find out about it.

So find out now early with the promo code back at home titlelock.com.

The code is back at home titlelock.com.

There, you can find out if you're already a victim.

You get 30 risk-free days of protection.

And, you know, it's a little bit of a bigger deal than Papa John's pieces.

So make sure you're on top of this.

HomeTitleLock.com is the place to go.

HometitleLock.com.

The code is back.

Ha!

Ha!

I just

looked up at

the news screens where we have all of the networks on that are doing news.

And

this all I saw was the bottom of the screen.

It says, new special exposes the dark side of Jeffrey Dahmer.

Now,

that's the only side I know.

Wow, really?

I mean, yeah.

I mean, he ate people.

And he was a bad guy.

Right.

Apparently,

the eating of people.

Bad guy.

He was not.

He borrowed someone's lawnmower on the street, never returned it.

A lot of people know that he wasn't very sartorial.

In fact, he was a very poor dresser.

Very poor dresser.

Yes.

He dressed like Fetterman.

Yes, he did.

Terrible.

And there was no rule, and that led him to eat people.

Wow.

Yeah.

So, I mean,

you think the eating people was bad.

You should hear about the dark side of Jeffrey Dahmer.

What the hell?

Do we really need that?

Who's tuning into that going, you know what?

There's just not enough darkness and depression out there.

I need a little bit more in my life.

You know, I considered watching the Netflix.

It was Netflix when I was

the big series on it.

And I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

Neither could I do that.

I don't want that much darkness.

No, I don't.

I don't need a darker side.

Like, that just seems like.

You know, you could go, hey, the surprising light side of Jeffrey Dahmer.

I might watch that.

What are the positives?

Yeah.

We never got anything.

He was a cute kid.

Look at this photo of him in kindergarten.

He was cute.

He was great.

He was great.

He was really good at push-ups.

Did lots of push-ups.

Lots of push-ups.

Very well.

He's in shape.

Good cardiovascular health.

He was really good.

He got a very efficient and good price on his refrigerator.

And we're going to leave that at that.

It was used.

It was.

We're just going to leave it at that.

You know, when he served pasta along with certain meals at his house, and he never, never skimped on the Parmesan cheese, which is something a lot of people will do.

And I don't like that.

Nobody left his house hungry.

No.

I mean, because a lot of people didn't leave his house, but they never

left hungry.

So I think that's

the dark side of of it.

Dark side of it.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to that special.

Thanks.

Who okayed that?

Who okay?

Who went.

You know what?

I got something to do.

It should be explorers on the program.

Stay with me, guys.

You know, cleaning your gun is just as important as having them in the first place.

But if you've ever done it, it's a messy job.

The gun doesn't always get as clean as you like it to be.

You can use the standard patches, which don't make good contact with the inside of the barrel.

Then you got things things like bore snakes, which are good, but that's nylon rope, and it doesn't do a great job either.

I want to tell you the difference.

A better way to clean your guns, it is called barrel buddy, and it revolutionizes your gun cleaning experience in a very simple but important way.

Barrel Buddy pushes outward to fill the interior of your gun's barrel, which cleans the rifling grooves as well as the rest of the barrel surface.

It's a 3D cylinder made up of polymers that don't leave behind any

residual particles.

No mess.

It cleans by scrubbing and collecting particulates, then absorbs any remaining residue and buffs the interior surface clean.

It is, it's an amazing thing.

If you're serious about taking good care of your guns, Barrel Buddy is the way to go.

It's a new day, our

What you're about to hear

is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Is there anything such as justice in America today?

Will anyone be held responsible and accountable for all of the different things that have happened?

Right now, Attorney General Merrick Garland is in a House Judiciary Committee hearing, and go ahead and pot this up just a little bit.

David Weiss, the guy who let all that happen.

We are monitoring it now, and we will go back and forth with it and give you the highlights as we go on.

He could have picked formerly.

As it is happening live.

But also, we are going to talk to the representative out of Ohio, Brad Wenstrup.

And Brad is the guy who is really following the CIA trying to hide the findings that COVID-19 originated in a lab in Wuhan, China.

We now know that the CIA paid six out of seven experts

to say that it was natural and not from the lab.

The seventh believed it wasn't from the lab.

The other six believed, yeah, it's clearly from the lab.

So the CIA came and bribed them.

A, what kind of

expert are you that you can be bribed on something this important?

And why would the CIA even want to do that?

Representative Brad Wenstrup joins us in 60 seconds.

It's in that moment of your kids' first football game of the year, the one where you can relax and lose your voice yelling at the same time.

It's in that meal sitting around the table, the one that somehow tastes better because of the heavyweight of difficult choices isn't bearing down on you right now.

It's all the things you can do with peace of mind because you're not worrying about the house you're buying or selling.

Why aren't you worrying?

Because you went to real estate agents I trust and got set up with a top-selling agent from your area.

This is my company.

I started it years ago because I found the whole buying and selling houses thing exhausting and frustrating, and it has been my whole life.

And I didn't, I didn't know how to even...

What questions do you even ask to find out if you're a good real estate agent?

You sell houses?

Yes, I do.

Okay, you're for me.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

The name says it all.

We've done all the vetting for you.

I want you to do it yourself.

Don't trust us or anybody else, really.

Trust yourself, but we'll give you the names of the people we've already vetted and we feel are really good in your area.

It's realestate agentsitrust.com.

That's realestate agentsitrust.com.

Let's see.

Congressman Wenstrup, how are you, sir?

I'm hanging in there.

How are you doing, Wen?

Well, I'm good.

First of all, I just want to let people know you are a doctor.

You're also an Army Reserve officer and Iraqi war veteran.

Thank you for that.

You were on the select subcommittee of the coronavirus pandemic.

You have, you know, served as a doctor,

you know, overseas.

You also were at Walter Reed for a while.

And you are the medical policy advisor for the Chief of Army Reserve, correct?

Yes, actually, I retired from the Army in December, but since I was elected to Congress 11 years ago, I've served at Walter Reed and as a medical policy advisor, as well, obviously, as a congressman and a congressman on the Intelligence Committee.

Okay.

So now

tell the story to the American people, in case they don't know, about what is going on with the CIA and this bribe to the so-called experts?

Yes, I mean, a little background as a physician.

Ever since the pandemic started, I'm looking into what's going on physiologically, how do we treat patients?

But in that process of doing research, discovered that we were actually engaging with China in a lab in Wuhan to create gain of function viruses.

That being said,

with Intel Committee, I've been involved with this for

the past three years at least.

And

what had happened now is we have somebody coming forward as a whistleblower seeking full whistleblower protections.

And that means at this time he wants to be anonymous.

He came to both the Intelligence Committee and to the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, which I chair.

And he's made many allegations.

Obviously, you summed up a lot of them, but there was the CIA in trying to figure out whether this came from a lab or from nature, put together a COVID discovery team, if you will, seven people, as you talked about.

So six of the people, they came to the conclusion with some level of confidence that this came from a lab.

And the senior person, according to these charges, said it came from nature.

Okay, well, you're entitled to your opinion.

But what they ended up doing at the end of the day, releasing to the public and to the intelligence community, all they said was the CIA was unable to determine.

Well, it sounds like they had a pretty high number of people that were able to determine as best as they know it.

It is our responsibility on this committee to follow up on everything to do with

the pandemic.

We take it very seriously.

The reaction from the CIA has been very serious.

So we're now seeking documents, communications, and we also have asked to

speak with Andrew Macretis, who the whistleblower says was the chief operating officer and had a lot to do with constructing this.

I hope that the director of CIA will be cooperative with us.

But, you know, you hit the big question.

Why?

I mean, why would they want to do that?

I mean, this goes back to where Fauci prompted, I'm using their words, prompted a group of scientists to write what's known as proximal origins, where in their internal documents they're saying, oh yeah, well, they're doing this type of research in China.

Oh yeah, they have this capability.

Oh yeah, this really is something.

And then they come out and say it came from nature and tries to make that definitive.

Why are we not having a scientific debate?

What is the reason for attempting to steer everything in one direction?

And here's one of my concerns, Glenn, and I think you'll appreciate this.

If this is true, And we have, for political reasons or whatever, changing the notion of changing intelligence.

What does that say to our international partners who rely on us for intelligence, who we work with together on intelligence, if our own intelligence department is changing things from what people actually did and said to fit a narrative that they want

a concern I have.

Not just that.

You know, you would imagine that in some cases you would say, hey, let's not release that to anybody, but this is changing things

for the intelligence, the oversight.

You guys are engaged in oversight, and they didn't tell you this.

A whistleblower had to come and tell you this.

Right.

And

I would contend that if we didn't have Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives, it wouldn't have come forward at all.

So this person had an opportunity to go to somebody that seemingly would listen

as a whistleblower, and we are.

And so we're pursuing this.

We sent our letters out.

That's the first phase of requesting information, documents.

You know, when we don't get them, then we dig a little bit deeper and we ask a little harder and sometimes in the form of a subpoena.

So

do we know if they actually paid these other experts, these six people out of seven?

Yeah, so in the allegations, I would say that the conjecture is that it may have come in the form of a performance bonus, not just out and out, hey, do this and here's some money if you're following that.

But it's the same net effect, right?

Right.

And do we have any idea how much?

This is taxpayer dollars, right?

Oh, correct.

And no, we don't know how much.

And again, that's part of the investigation.

And we're obligated to do it.

I mean, we don't really have a choice.

This is what we should be doing.

You know, keep in mind that,

and I have to remind members of Congress this, too.

Congress created these agencies.

And we fund those agencies, and we have oversight over these agencies.

So not only do I have to remind members of Congress, we certainly have to remind the agencies, that this needs to be a working partnership, and you don't get to not tell us things, especially on the Intelligence Committee.

The Intelligence Committee, for example, example, was set up so that there would be oversight over the intelligence community.

And, you know, this is a select committee, so the people on this committee, which by the way, is functioning well now and is no longer an impeachment committee, but the intelligence committee, people are selected from both sides of the aisle.

We also represent the other members of Congress because we're in a place where other members don't get to go.

So it's an important role that we have, and the cooperation needs to be there.

And sometimes the community, the intelligence community, thinks they don't have to tell us things, and it's in statute that they do.

So we will continue to pursue and find the truth.

And

we have to suggest or legislate things into law that allow us to hold people accountable within agencies when they do things.

And I use the example like this, Glenn.

You know, in the military, which I served 25 years, we have the UCMJ, Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Unethical is unlawful in the military.

In our agencies, unfortunately, and this is across the board, but in our agencies,

if you violate some of your tenants or what you say are the rules of engagement within your agency, nothing really happens to you.

Oh, you might get fired and then go work at CNN.

But you know,

this is a problem that we have.

And so we are trying on so many fronts to put punitive measures in place when violations are occurring,

such as with the FISA court, et cetera.

You know, the IG said 17 times things were violated.

Well, what actually happens?

Where's the punitive measures?

We're trying to implement those.

So, do you, I mean, is there a way out from the I mean, your Justice Department looks horribly soiled.

Your

NSA, your CIA, your DNI, all of these things look like they've been a part of some really bad things, including the State Department.

Now the IRS is involved.

How are you possibly going to beat this?

I mean, it's like whack-a-mole.

Yeah, so, you know, on my particular subcommittee, what I keep saying and have said since the beginning is honesty and truth is non-negotiable.

And we're going to be looking for it.

And we're going to make sure that it is there.

But if it's not there, we're going to point it out and hold people accountable.

We have to.

But you can't,

excuse me for interrupting, but you can't really hold people responsible if you say that they're in contempt of Congress.

Attorney General Garland is the one who has to prosecute.

And he just came out and said, I'm not the prosecutor for Congress.

Well, yes, you are, but he gets to decide who he prosecutes.

Yeah, and obviously what you're seeing, I know I heard Jim Jordan's voice before I came on.

Yeah.

And obviously you're seeing all kinds of things where this is just wrong.

And I don't know how we get it out to the American public because most people don't know.

You know, obviously, I have the opportunity right now to get to

your listeners, and that's important.

But there are things that are going on today that should be above-the-fold front-page headlines each and every day.

And the mainstream media isn't covered.

So our challenge is definitely greater,

and elections matter.

And I hope people understand that.

And, you know, I grew up watching Superman, where they began each show fighting for truth, justice, and the American way.

And that's where we have to go.

And America has to decide if that's what they want or not, because it's been deviated from tremendously.

And let me make this suggestion, too, for our agencies.

You know, in the military, you either move up or you're out.

And you're required to be agnostic politically.

And that's what we need in our agencies.

You either move up or you're out.

And when you get to the top, there's a mandatory retirement.

You don't get to sit there with mounds of authority and covert authority, if you will.

And we've got to make changes like that within our system.

We started our country with just

three agencies, state, treasury, and war.

And look what we have now.

They have rule of law.

They put out regulations.

We try to pass laws to stop them.

It's completely backwards.

So America needs to understand to elect people that are willing to make that change and get us back to the government that our founders set up.

Representative Brad Wenstrup, thank you very much for what you're doing.

Please keep us informed if there's any other news that starts to break here about

the CIA apparently

bribing members of the team, the experts, on COVID.

Thank you so much.

Appreciate it.

Yeah, thanks for your concern.

You bet.

Let me talk to you about CarShield in the age of smart technology.

I mean, why would they do that, Stu?

All you can do is shake your head.

Yeah.

It's incredible.

And they're doing it just because they're protecting other people and themselves and other people in

high-ranking positions.

It's grotesque what we've become.

We are so close to Mexico or Venezuela.

We're going there.

It's where we're going.

If Americans don't stand up and stop this and tell them, you know, we're not voting for you unless you change these things.

Anyway, Car Shield, your car,

it's going to have a bad day, especially after your warranty wears out.

That's, you know, that's when it really, the rubber hits the road.

If you enroll with Car Shield, you're going to get protection plans that start as low as $100 a month, flexible month-to-month coverage, your choice of an ASE certified mechanic, pick who you want, 24-7

coast-to-coast roadside assistance, complementary towing, rental car options.

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

Maybe most importantly of all,

Considering how much you're paying now in inflation, you can rest assured your price will not go up.

You have a price lock guarantee.

Your price will never go up no matter how many claims you file.

It'll never go up as mileage on your car increases.

None of it.

I've had Car Shield on my trucks, and it has saved a ton of money for me.

It's CarShield 800-227-6100.

It is quite amazing to me how

fast our rights are going away.

And rights are being taken away every single day.

We creep

closer and closer to fascism.

and to totalitarianism.

You know, we play these games of, yeah, you're a fascist.

No, you're a fascist.

You're a fascist.

What is a fascist?

What is a communist?

What do they mean?

Well, I can tell you, both of them don't believe in individual rights.

Both of them, both of them, both the Soviet Union and the fascists in Germany took away parental rights.

They turned the kids against the families and their parents.

And kids turned parents in.

because parents didn't have rights.

The teachers, they had the rights.

The state had the rights.

Tonight at

9 o'clock, Pandora's box.

American leaders in 2020 and during the pandemic,

they open up this box and could take away your rights.

And they just, I mean, they love it.

They're playing God now.

I got to watch this show tonight because you played these clips earlier.

It's fascinating.

This idea that there's no legal rights for parents.

First of all, of course,

take out the idea that this is, you know, that there are no parental rights.

It's obviously a ridiculous concept.

But whenever

conservatives pass laws that specifically

address a right like this, like, yeah, you got to tell your kids about an abortion, or your parents about an abortion, schools have to do that.

They complain about it.

Right.

And secondarily, like

they always say that there's no rights for people like LGBTQ individuals or whatever group they're arguing on behalf of on a particular day.

And then they all argue for those rights to be created.

They never say, well, they're not, there's no rights for LGBTQ people.

Therefore, we should ignore them.

They say we should fight for those rights, right?

Their entire movements are based on creating these rights legally and specifically in the law, even though most of the time they already exist.

But parents are the oppressors.

Our parents are the oppressors.

Yeah.

Like, well,

it doesn't make any sense to say just because you can't find it in the law, and of course this is ridiculous to even, but just giving them the idea that this isn't legally already represented.

Well, that's what you fight for rights for, right?

You try to add them if they happen to be overlooked by the fact that everyone just assumed it was obvious.

Yes, and it was obvious.

It's always been obvious.

Get government, you know, get them out of my bedroom.

Get them out of my children's bedroom.

My children are much more vulnerable.

Yeah.

On particular islands, especially.

Yeah, geez,

it's bad.

It's really bad.

And it's happening in all places, in all places now.

You know it.

You see the justice that is happening or the injustice.

I'm going to introduce you to a guy here in a second who somebody in his life turned him into the FBI.

Somebody, probably family member, I don't know.

He claims I was just in the Capitol to take film for journalistic reasons.

He worked with the FBI.

I think he was on the phone with the FBI the next day saying, hey, I've got film of everything.

He's now going to jail.

A journalist going to jail for being in the Capitol.

Tell you that, and the amazing punishment for Ray Epps.

Imagine pizza without any toppings.

Imagine a big helping of mashed potatoes, no gravy.

Imagine ice cream cone without a second scoop.

I mean, it is depressing.

Imagine your dog's food without any nutrition.

Because unfortunately, if you're feeding him or her kibble food, that's pretty much what they're getting every time you fill the bowl.

You're filling their stomach, but you're not giving them the nutrition that they need.

Kibble food has to have everything living cooked out of it so it will sit on the shelf for up to two years because that's what the government says is the right thing to do.

Unfortunately, a lot of those living things are nutrients that your dog desperately needs.

Naturopathic Dr.

Dennis Black came up with something you sprinkle on your dog's food.

Remember, brown food is dead food.

You want the greens.

I have a feeling today Garland's testimony is

simply to

get him to perjure himself.

Listen to just a little bit of this.

Mr.

Weiss has said so in the letters he sent to this committee.

Thank you.

Did he ever say or do anything?

Did he ever say or do anything that might make him

unsure of where he could bring charges?

Mr.

Weiss's own letters reflect that he had never asked me to be a special counsel and that he understood.

So

he's now testifying that Weiss was in charge the whole time.

Whistleblower says that's not true and new evidence has come out this week.

If that is indeed true, what the whistleblowers say, he's perjuring himself right now.

But will that matter?

We'll wait and see.

There is so much injustice coming from Washington, D.C.

right now.

It

It's a bit terrifying.

It should terrify everyone.

The

Ray Epps case, I'm going to tell you about here in just a few minutes.

But there is

another one that you may not have heard about, Stephen Horne.

He's an independent journalist.

He went and was in the Capitol on January 6th.

He went to film it and to record it.

And now the judge and the jury has said, well, no, or I shouldn't say the judge and the jury, I should say the FBI made the case that he wasn't a journalist and he was part of it.

And now he's facing real problems.

I'm going to have him give the full story here.

Stephen, welcome to the Glen Beck program.

Thanks for having me on.

Okay, so you, if I'm not mistaken, Steve Baker, who works for the Blaze is a contributor, he was at your trial the whole time.

And he said

the very day after January 6th, the tape that you made,

you offered it to the FBI to help them.

Is that true?

Yeah, that's correct.

You know, after I was able to upload the video to the internet, you know, put it out there for the public, I also reached out to the FBI on, you know, January 7th and said, hey, I have this video.

I witnessed people assaulting police.

I witnessed some property damage.

Not too much, though, but I figured it would be something that they might be interested in.

Okay, so tell me how you found out about January 6th in advance.

I believe I came across it on social media.

There's a stop the steal protest in D.C.

in November, another one in December, and then I saw this one coming up in January, and I saw that President Trump himself was going to be there.

I had always wanted to sort of observe a Trump rally in person, even though I'm not a supporter of Trump.

You know, I could see that this was sort of a unique phenomenon in politics, and so I wanted to witness it for myself.

And I brought the camera I had used to cover riots in Raleigh because I had seen

the videos of Trump supporters being assaulted at the previous rallies in D.C.

You know, I had seen some of that street-level stuff.

And, you know, that was the most I was expecting coming to D.C.

But you came with a helmet.

You were wearing all black and gloves, and you looked like Antifa.

Yeah, I mean, it looks like that in the pictures.

I was not actually wearing all black, but I was wearing the helmet because this was a helmet that I had made for covering Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots here in Raleigh.

So the helmet actually had a built-in camera in it so I could, you know, covertly record rioting without them targeting me as a member of the press.

Okay,

so you went to go document it.

After the speech, you went down to the Capitol.

Tell me what happened.

Yeah, so shortly before I reached the Capitol, sort of the end of Pennsylvania Avenue, getting towards the Capitol, I just sensed that the energy in the crowd was different and it changed.

It wasn't the same I had observed over at the ellipse in the Washington Monument.

And it seemed similar to what I had felt, you know,

covering other riots in North Carolina.

So that's when I pulled out my camera and this helmet, put it on, started filming.

And from then on, I was just, let me see what I can document.

Let's go where the action goes and capture these newsworthy events.

So when you were going through there, you didn't, you know, you didn't break any rules that you knew of.

You weren't part of the pushing crowd.

You weren't part of anything.

You just walked in and you held the camera and videotaped everything, right?

Yeah, yeah, I mean, that was certainly not my intent to violate any rules.

My focus was solely on, you know, documenting these,

you know, I saw people throwing objects at the police, you know, and then the police retreat.

I saw, you know, someone being carried off on a stretcher.

Later come to find out the police had pushed him off of a staircase.

There were just so many events that I could tell was obviously very newsworthy, very of interest to the public.

So I was just, you know, going from one to another, documenting what I could.

So the case came down to whether you were actually press or a protester, and the prosecution denied allowing you to put into evidence press badges from other events that you had covered.

They say that you only became a journalist after January 6th as an excuse for being in the Capitol.

Yeah, I don't recall if we tried admitting the press passes into evidence.

I do recall we tried admitting

the statement that I had posted that night, along with my video saying why I was there, saying I didn't enter the Capitol building as part of the protest.

They would not allow that statement into evidence.

So, yeah, that was basically the government's argument: I just

decided to be a journalist afterwards when it was convenient to me.

That is obviously something I would strongly disagree with.

And you

somebody close to you turned you into the FBI.

I mean, you had already called the FBI, you had told them, but then they saw the video that you posted on social media, and then they turned you in.

Do you know who that was?

I do know one of the people who contacted the Raleigh police.

So it was that an old family friend who, you know, I hadn't talked to in years,

who was, yeah, yeah, a police officer in Raleigh that reached out to the FBI.

I know someone reached out to the FBI.

You You can see this in that the criminal information where I was charged, they actually told the FBI in their tip that I was there as a journalist.

But unfortunately, that was something that we were not able to get into evidence as well.

That's

astounding to me.

How do you feel about

somebody you know turning you in?

I mean,

you know, I think some of my family members were a lot more incensed than I was.

For me, it was like I already reached out to the FBI myself.

So anyone else reaching out to the FBI, they're just doing,

like, I already did this.

So, you know, they weren't doing any harm to me by reaching out.

So what are you facing now?

So there will be a sentencing hearing in January.

And I guess,

you know, at that time or maybe shortly before, we will find out what the government will be asking for.

And in some of these misdemeanor cases,

you know, the sentence could be up to a year in jail.

I think that the longest one I'm aware for the misdemeanors was 70 months, sorry, seven months for J.D.

Rivera.

He was another videographer who was there.

So

we don't,

there's sort of a wide range.

Some of the defendants have just gotten probation and some home detention.

And then, you know, some of them on these very same charges have gotten months in prison.

So

I'm guessing my case will be on the lower end of that range, but we don't really know until we see what the government's asking for.

Best of luck to you, Stephen.

I don't recognize my country at all anymore.

But

best of luck, best of luck.

We'll be keeping you in our prayers.

I certainly appreciate that.

Thank you, Stephen.

Stephen Horne, independent journalist who is now going to jail.

Even though he didn't do anything, the worst thing he did was at one point in the video, he was like, USA, USA.

And they were like, see, you weren't a journalist.

Aha!

He likes the country, doesn't he?

So Kylie Griswold just wrote something

in the Federalist that I think is unbelievably great.

She said, for more than two and a half years, after the gravest threat to democracy of our lifetime, and maybe of all time, January 6th, agitator Ray Epps has finally been charged.

Now, why?

Now, why?

Because they said he was fine.

Everybody, everybody said he was fine.

New York Times did a big love piece to him.

According to court documents, Epps was charged with a sole misdemeanor count of disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds via an information

as opposed to an indictment.

NBC News says he plans to enter a plea plea deal.

In other words, rest assured, America, safe and sound, you are safe and sound.

The Tucker Carlson-fueled conspiracies about Epps being an FBI source or informant have been put to bed.

Case closed.

He was just a wee bit disorderly.

That's it.

Jeez.

So why are the rabid right-wingers foaming at the mouth and unable to accept the DOJ charges and media write-ups at face value.

These are trusted institutions with an unblemished track record of ethics, honesty, and equal justice under the law.

Turn off Fox News and Truth Social already and get your facts straight.

For instance, why are the ultra-maga Republicans still asking about the multiple clips of EPS on both January 5th, 6th?

Rallying protesters to make their way from Trump's speech not only up toward Capitol Hill, but into the Capitol.

Those conspiracists just can't get over the fact that the demonstrators within earshot booed his suggestion and pegged him as a Fed.

Fed, Fed, Fed, they shouted.

But what would they know?

They're insurrectionists.

And why are election deniers still bringing up that text that Epps sent to his nephew after the riot?

I was in front with a few others.

I also orchestrated it.

Remember, he walked that back.

He said I was just making that up for my nephew.

So what is the problem?

How come Trump supporters are recirculating clips of a January 6th demonstrator launching at the

metal police barricade and helping to topple it immediately after Epps whispers into the then apparently docile protester's ear?

Epps has already told the media that he wasn't agitating.

He told CBS, he said something like, we're not here for that.

Police are not the enemy.

Really?

Have you seen the other video?

Of course we have conspiracy theorists.

Why wouldn't the media trust him in keeping with their unbreakable standard of believing all white men?

And what's the deal with obsessing over Epps having been on the FBI wanted list and then suddenly removed?

Just like the Biden family business scandal, there is still absolutely zero evidence that Ray Epps was a federal agent.

Why are radical conservatives like Julie Kelly all over Twitter droning on that Epps was one of the first to breach the exterior lines and interfered with security and remained on restricted grounds for more than an hour or yammering on about section 1512, which covers anyone who obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding or attempts to do so with fines or imprisonment.

And how it's been used to charge other January 6th demonstrators.

Don't you get it?

Ray Epps has been charged.

It's over.

On that note, Republicans can give it a rest already with a proud boy's comparisons.

So, some guy who wasn't even in Washington, D.C.,

has no text, no communication, plotting or planning January 6th, is going to serve 22 years in prison for seditious conspiracy and terrorism while ringleading Epps gets disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, it's a no-no, and probably a plea deal.

What's your point, conservatives?

That's from the Federalists and Kylie Griswold.

Yeah.

I

think she might be being a little sarcastic because I think there's something up with Ray Epps.

Imagine you're walking on a tightrope and you're suddenly right in the middle when all of a sudden you see somebody taking a chainsaw to the rope.

Well, that is pretty much what the Fed is doing.

Hey,

did you see?

Today at 2 o'clock, we could get another rate increase.

Oh, yeah, that's going to be great.

Well, not really,

but it'll be great for the banks and everybody else.

They'll love this.

Federal Reserve interest rate hikes today maybe starting to have severe negative consequences.

Economic safety nets are snapping everywhere and Americans are right in the crosshair for the disaster.

Those savings that you were relying on back during the pandemic, they're gone.

They're gone.

Now, how about your retirement savings?

How about everything that you have?

Are we a nation of laws or a nation of men?

Seems like, you know, you point out the men and I'll find the law that they're breaking.

And you've brought up a lot of great points about January 6th over the past, you know, couple years, but I will say you have not brought up my personal jihad about January 6th,

which is free Jay Johnston.

Jay Johnston, the actor for Mr.

Show, one of the all-time greats, was at the Capitol.

And he's now going to be charged with some crime.

And

I'm sorry.

Can I read to you what they said he did?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, um, he was he allegedly helped pour water on the faces of rioters who had been pepper sprayed by law enforcement.

And he, several members of the crowd, joined together to push against police in a concerted movement.

Johnston participated in this concerted movement and pushed along with other rioters for several

what's the next word?

Minutes.

Seconds.

Seconds.

Several seconds?

This is incredibly insane.

Free Jay Johnston.

In the 1960s, 95% of the clothing Americans bought was made right here in America.

Now 97% is made overseas.

It's a complete reversal of the way things used to be in this country.

You want to know what makes America great?

Great jobs.

Pride in your work.

Pride in what you do.

Good companies that are hiring people and knit our towns together.

American workers and the products they make.

That's what it's about.

Good paying jobs.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America.

Right now, Merrick Garland is testifying in front of the House Judiciary.

And Sheila Jackson-Lee just wanted to ask a couple of questions.

First of all, she said, there's an astounding number of threats on police and public workers and an attack on an FBI audience or office.

What are all these threats and attacks happening?

Because he said, well, because

they're inspired by right-wing people and their rhetoric.

And it's abhorrent that somebody would stick these people out, these public servants, and say that they're, you know, somehow or another corrupt.

Oh!

You mean like what everyone was saying about the police?

Kind of like that.

But now it's a problem.

Okay,

okay.

So, she followed up with a couple of very important questions.

One is on fentanyl, and the other human trafficking.

She says they are exploding.

And he assured everybody he's working with China and the cartels to stop all of that.

And human trafficking, you know, he's working here in America.

No mention of the border, strangely.

And you know what's even more strange?

The fact that we now have a colony in Houston, tens of thousands of migrants, and counting, it is

a colony, a development project that is the size of Washington, D.C.

And it's a new place where you can get all kinds of great deals on houses if you're a border crosser.

Todd Benceman joins us.

He has been on this story for months.

We'll talk to him coming up in just a second first.

You have a choice to

give the food, what food you're going to give to your children.

You do the same thing.

You always give the best,

not the easiest thing.

Well, when it comes to our dogs, sometimes we give the easiest thing thinking that it's the best.

You can buy really

very expensive

Kibble food and think I'm well I'm giving them the best look how much money I'm spending on the best food Well Well,

if it's kibble food, it's dead food.

It's, you know, it's brown, that's dead.

And the government demands that it's dead food because it has to be able to sit on a shelf for that yummy two years without getting moldy or going bad.

Well, let me tell you something.

You don't have to live that way with

your dog.

Make sure you're giving rough greens to your dog.

Roughgreens.com.

That's roughgreens.com.

Give it to your dog.

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

Roughgreens.com, R-U-F-F greens.com.

Okay,

Todd Bensman,

Bensman is joining us now.

He's from the Center for Immigration Studies.

He's a senior fellow.

He has been talking about this colony in Houston.

that is getting all kinds of really special breaks if you want to

you know buy a house there and you don't have any documentation at all Todd welcome great to be here thank you tell me what is happening here

well the this particular community sprung up it really started about 10 years ago small

a developer figured out a way there's no law against selling to illegal immigrants

If you're financing it yourself, you don't even need to ask for their credit rating or a history of income or any of the normal things to buy land.

And long about 2017, it exploded.

I mean, just thousands and thousands of people, Spanish speakers mostly from Mexico, Central America, Cuba,

really mostly Spanish speaking.

That's where the marketing is.

And now

there are probably on the order of 75,000 people that live in that area of about 60 square square miles.

And the majority of them, if you talk to people who live there and the immigrants themselves, as I have,

knocking doors throughout that community, most of them are here illegally.

And that's why they're attracted to this area.

The other reason why they're attracted to this area is because

They regard it as a safe zone, a no-go zone where ICE will not tread.

Local police don't like to go in there.

They've been shot at.

Firefighters don't go in there.

Very thinly patrolled.

And all four cartels, or at least four of the cartels, are active there.

This is

insane.

Just insane.

So you have cartels, crime, safe houses, no-go zone.

You don't really know who's getting in.

Who's banking this?

Well, it's privately financed.

And as far as, you know, like the Daily Wire just had a piece recently where they explored the question of legality and determined that, you know, what the developer is doing is legal.

They're selling land to

that it's not up to them to determine whether you're legally present.

And they're selling land to people owner financed.

All you have to do is be willing to pay 9%, 10, 12% interest on that loan, which they're all willing to do because they can't get a regular bank loan.

and then they put up whatever kind of ramshackle house or you know sometimes they're nice brick homes but the whole area is sort of without ordinance or code enforcement which I think is also one of the things that is appealing about it you just buy the land and then you figure out how you're going to live on it like some people have tents I'm told Yeah, there are tents, there are single-wide trailers, there are just structures built out of leftover construction material like you know you name it and then there are some really nice brick stately brick homes here and there too

not everybody who lives there is an illegal immigrant

when I was knocking doors through the area I did run across some U.S.

born citizens who just said you know

we like having a little bit of land and it's cheap out here so we don't mind living out here but many even they would tell me that most everybody around them is an illegal immigrant.

And I did meet some illegal immigrants who bought that land, and they told me that the appeal of it was that, first of all, you know, it's ultimately cheaper to even pay those high interest rates

than to rent an apartment somewhere as an illegal, because there's usorious rents get charged on illegals.

if you try to rent in a regular apartment complex.

But this way, ultimately, the monthly is lower.

But if they miss a few payments, the landowner can take it back and resell it, and they often do.

It's got one of the highest foreclosure rates in the nation, this community.

It's called Colonia Ridge or Colony Ridge.

So near

Plum Grove, Texas, in Cleveland, Texas.

So this actually works out to be a very good deal.

I mean, it sounds like Potterville

from, you know, it's a wonderful life.

So he can repossess or they can repossess the land.

So you got the land for a while.

You paid high interest rates, but you've defaulted and just get out and he can sell it again over and over and over and over again.

Yeah, very, very high foreclosure rates in that area, one of the highest in the nation.

I believe it's a top.

10 or 15 in the nation for that.

But, you know, the real issue to me there is that there's a homeland security problem

because it's very thinly patrolled.

They have four or five bilingual officers that are attached to the Liberty County Texas Sheriff's Department for 100,000 people.

And

they do shift work.

So there might be two on duty at any one time for a really big and surly sometimes community.

Everybody's got guns.

On a Saturday night, it sounds like the Battle of Fallujah out there.

Everybody's firing their weapons.

Of course, illegal immigrants are not allowed to own weapons, but there are cartels there, according to

Sheriff Greg Capers,

who lives in next door San Jacinto County and has declared a state of emergency from the migrant crisis.

Murder rates are way up.

And he says there are four different Sinaloa, Gulf, Zenas, and New Jalisto are all present there running safe houses, marijuana grows, gambling operations, prostitution, safe houses for the migrants that are coming over.

And he said that he told me that on the record that he calls ICE all the time: hey, can you just come out and help?

This is an ICE issue.

And they just say, no, we're not, we don't do that.

So you already have 77,000 in this colony.

It is the size size of

in

land.

It's the size of Washington, D.C.

And how many people are coming to this place, you know, every year?

Well, you know, I talked to the school superintendent.

My book that I published is called Overrun.

The last chapter is dedicated to Liberty County, Texas, as emblematic of interior

impacts and consequences from this mass migration crisis.

The local school district was 3,400 a decade ago, K through 12.

It's 13,000 now.

Oh, my gosh.

And I'm guessing these people are not paying local taxes, are they?

Well, actually,

in this particular case,

because they're owning property,

the school district does it, but it's not enough.

And they're constantly asking for,

because you know one property might have three or four families on it you know

and so

I talked to the school superintendent about a week ago and he said over the summer we had they had a 1200 student increase from the from the spring to the

fall and he says we're getting about 150 a week still they're just pouring in we're absolutely and you know the colony is absolutely expanding I flew over it in a helicopter with a couple of congressmen a few weeks ago.

And, I mean, to the horizon is clear-cutting going on, clearing land and laying down roads and plats for hundreds and hundreds of new lots.

Clearly, the property developer is very bullish on the future.

And I'm guessing it's because he's looking at what's going on at our southern border and seeing dollar signs.

So, Todd, what, I mean, what effect because this is not just in Houston, Texas, this is everywhere, everywhere in America.

What is the effect

of

letting so many people in?

How long does this last before we collapse?

I mean, all you have to do is look at New York City, Chicago, Denver.

I just had a call from somebody out in Massachusetts,

Washington, D.C.

Cities across the nation are absolutely staggering under the unfunded burden of this mass migration crisis.

The immigrants are just pouring in to cities by the tens of thousands a month, and they've got nothing.

So they're saying, take care of me.

And the cities and states are...

you know,

they don't have the budget.

They didn't budget.

Nobody budgeted for a thing like this.

And they're going to go into schools.

And I mean, most of them have children.

I mean, you look at your local school districts first and start asking, why are they asking me for a bond election to like my tax rate again for schools?

But also, you know, nobody is insured.

So they're, you know, I mean, the health care systems, wherever you are, in whatever state you are,

are going to be in the red.

I guarantee you.

Go check.

Check the health of your local healthcare hospital networks and systems and see if they're not in the red right now.

They are all across America.

And it's going to go on like that.

And the crime,

I mean, we, how many, yeah, okay.

I mean, I could go on and on about that.

I mean, horrendous, horrendous, horrific atrocities that are the kind of crimes that are going on.

I mean, Liberty County used to be a place where it was like Otis.

got thrown in jail on Saturday night, you know, right?

Or there might be a meth knucklehead here and there, you know.

But now you have crimes like

the guy next door walks over with his AR and slaughters a family of Hondurans, all five of them, including the kids.

Gosh.

Or you have

one guy chained two women up in his trailer and sexually abused them until he killed them both.

and dumped their bodies.

Well, one of them escaped, tried to escape in a car and didn't make it, and he shot her in the car and burned her up in it.

That kind of stuff is going on over there.

A couple weeks ago, they just caught the cops about 20 miles from Colony Ridge, a vehicle with 26 kilos of like high-purity cocaine in it.

There is heavy drug trafficking going on.

There's

lots of murder, lots of criminality.

And I think that's really what you have to watch for.

I mean, at the very least, our cities and states need to police this and make sure that they've got pressure on those law enforcement, real law enforcement pressure on these communities to protect them and the rest of us from what's going on.

I guess

the big issue is whether this business model might be replicated by demand across the country.

Oh, it will be.

Todd, thank you for everything that you do.

Todd Bensman, he is on the border.

This is his life.

He's the author of a new book called Overrun.

The last chapter, as he said, is all about this.

And this is coming.

This is coming.

I'm going to give you some amazing stats when we come back.

Todd, thank you very much.

Having a cell phone in your pocket shouldn't be a ringing endorsement for leftist causes.

Unfortunately, these days, you know, if you're hooked up with one of the big networks, chances are pretty good that that's exactly what's going on.

I want you to strongly consider switching your phone service to Patriot Mobile today.

They're America's only Christian conservative mobile service, but they're on the same three networks as the big guys, so you get the same great service or even better at a far lower price.

10 seconds station ID.

in the first two years of the Biden administration alone the illegal population in America increased by 16%

nationwide

it's cost us in the first two years one hundred and fifty point six billion dollars every year for the taxpayers.

That's nearly double the amount that the Biden administration has sent to Ukraine.

Now, it makes it hard and difficult for the average person to see and understand the sheer impact of illegal immigration because it is so huge.

But to put it into perspective,

I'm going to give you all 15 states and the District of Columbia that now have smaller populations than the the 2.3 million illegal immigrants who have entered the U.S.

under the Biden administration.

Now,

this is 2.3 million.

This is last year's numbers.

So we could add probably at least another million to this.

But just based on what we know came in last the first two years of Biden,

that is more than the entire population of Wyoming, Vermont, South Dakota combined.

You are paying the price.

Here are these 16 states and districts that have fewer people than the immigrants that have entered the U.S.

under the Biden administration illegally.

New Mexico has a population of 2.1 million.

More people came in across the border than the entire population of New Mexico.

Nebraska, West Virginia, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, South Dakota, North Dakota.

More people,

because there's only 780,000 in the entire city of Washington, D.C.

More people,

over double the amount in just the first two years.

Vermont, Wyoming.

We have created states that dwarf Wyoming and Vermont and Washington, D.C.

And who's paying for it?

How is your hospital doing?

How is your school doing?

Remember, we all had to wear masks.

We all have to give all kinds of ID for our children.

We got to make sure everybody has had their, you know, their shots.

These kids are just showing up no ID no shots nothing we don't know

I don't know

seems like maybe the law is breaking down why is it it seems that illegal immigrants are getting things that you can't get as a citizen

why is that

when will we ever stand up and say enough is enough enough?

And yes, I am talking to the, I'm talking to the leadership of Texas, for one.

They are working towards it, but at some point, when you have a colony the size of Washington, D.C.,

you say

enough

New pollout shows Biden

now losing to Trump, Nikki Haley, and Tim Scott, as party members now in the latest poll say his death is imminent.

Oh, that's good.

I'm sorry, his will.

That's good.

Yeah, that's the poll.

His death is imminent.

Imminent.

His political?

No, no, no.

It just is actual.

It's just his actual beating heart.

It's political.

I mean, he is old, but I think that's a little rude.

It's a little rude, but I mean, look at him.

Look how fast he's gone downhill.

Can I give you a scenario here that I'm just as a fiction writer?

Okay, if I'm a fiction writer, how does this all end from here?

So I write that things are on the edge.

You have massive corruption in the government.

You have the government

trying to control the people.

The dollar is about to collapse.

We're about to go to war.

All of the chaos with the illegal immigration,

with inflation going up,

it just takes one thing.

Let's say the impeachment's going on and nobody's trusting Congress.

Nobody's trusting the administration.

It gets bad.

Joe Biden either dies in office or somebody goes to him and says, you can't run again.

You can't run.

You got to step down.

You got to step down now because it's getting bad.

And then Kamala Harris becomes our president.

At that point, the entire world is like, you've got to be kidding me.

This is the weakest president they've ever had.

They're overwhelmed in everything.

We give them a little bit of a push and that whole thing collapses.

And dollar collapses.

We go to war with Ukraine and Russia.

That just sets everything else off.

Somebody in the military, this is how I would write it.

Somebody in the military is like, this is crazy.

This has got to stop.

She is not the person to have the button.

We are in danger.

They take over and do a coup.

We're holding off on elections.

We're holding off on everything.

That's how I would write the end of this.

Now, I think how we're supposed to write the end of this is we're going to get into a place to where if we don't start getting on our knees and recognizing God and renewing our covenant, we are going to be destroyed and we will be on our knees and we'll be begging for relief, begging for help.

So it doesn't have to end that way, but

by the way,

there's a couple of things going on.

In November, the week before Thanksgiving,

and I'll tell you more about it as we go on, we are going to be, I'm going to

bring in some, we've been doing research on this for about a year now.

We're bringing in some people and we are going to renew the covenant that Abraham Lincoln and George Washington made.

And trust me, you need to know what it is because

you don't want to make a covenant with God and then break it.

You don't take that lightly.

So we'll be explaining it and we're going to, but we're going to do it on the air to get as many people as possible to make a covenant.

That we will be your people.

You will be our God.

Help us.

I'm also doing a first of uh speeches.

I'm going to be on Thursday, October 19th.

That's Thursday night at 6.30 to 9 mountain time.

I'm going to be at the Mountain America Exposition Center.

That's in Sandy, Utah, Salt Lake, just outside of Salt Lake.

You can go to eventbrite.com.

Eventbrite.com.

I think tickets are 10 bucks.

So you can get them.

Bring your whole family.

Bring your kids.

I'm going to be explaining the covenant, what it is, why we need it, the history, our Constitution, all of it

on that night, 6.30 to 9 p.m.

I'm not speaking the whole time.

Thank goodness.

But anyway,

Mountain America Exposition Center, go to eventbrite.com and just

put in my name and search for it.

Okay.

Where were we, Stu?

Oh, yeah.

You're talking about the collapse collapse of all society

and how you were writing it as a fiction novel, which I don't know.

It doesn't sound, I mean, but I mean, it's at least believable.

As a fiction novel, it's at least believable, isn't it?

It's certainly a plausible fictional.

Yeah, I think if I saw that on, in a movie, I wouldn't walk out going, that'll never happen.

Right.

Of course, I don't walk out of any movie anytime now going, that'll never happen.

Cause, you know, that's just,

we all say that.

I've never seen this before.

Okay, can we just preface?

We We should have t-shirts.

I've never seen this before.

We don't have to say it anymore because none of us have ever seen these things before.

Well, I mean, it happens often that when you're most vulnerable, when you're distracted with other things.

Look at Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is a good example.

Fell that we were paying attention to COVID.

They killed all of those protesters and just took Hong Kong.

Even after years and years and years of us saying, you know, we support Hong Kong, and then we became the nation that excommunicates NBA executives for saying that they support people in Hong Kong.

And then, I mean, and look at what's going on with Azerbaijan now, which is just over the past.

The following days, yeah, it's not pretty.

It looks like it's going to get very ugly.

There's a region there that's part of, technically part of Azerbaijan, but is really controlled by Armenians.

And they had a war back in 2020 that went on for a while over this territory.

But Russia stepped in and stopped it eventually.

They negotiated a peace.

It's as if, you know, we have, most people don't realize we have Native American nations in our nation, and they are huge, huge swaths of land.

You can drive through them, and it'll just say, you know, Native American nation of X, Y, or Z.

And you drive through them, and we don't have a problem,

you know, except every time you drive through them, you're like, wow, we really screwed the Indians.

But other than that, we don't have this hostility.

They have an Armenian nation inside and then a corridor that is supposed to be,

you know, preserved so Armenians can get in and out of that area and get deliveries.

Well,

Kazakhstan has decided we're going to cut that off.

Azerbaijan, yeah.

Azerbaijan, yeah, sorry.

And so they're the stronger military here

and could roll over these people in theory.

I think it's 150,000 people in the region.

But, you know, Russia stepped in and stopped it because they were like, this is too close to our borders.

We don't want this craziness near us.

They stepped in.

Well, now, as you may have noted in the news recently, they're a bit distracted with other things.

And Azerbaijan is saying, now is our chance.

This thing we've wanted to do all of this time.

We can kind of step in here and get it done while Russia is distracted with Ukraine.

And that is...

the way all of our adversaries are going to see us soon if we don't turn this thing around.

They're They're distracted with all their problems.

They have a weak president.

Every one of their red lines that gets crossed means nothing.

Now's our time to act.

We saw it with Hong Kong.

We may very well see it with Taiwan soon.

We saw it with Ukraine.

I think Ukraine is part of this too.

They saw weakness here and decided to go for it.

And you know what?

It's sad because the Armenian genocide that nobody talks about, nobody talks about.

We have done extensive shows on the Armenian Holocaust.

The same thing happened during World War I,

except it was the Turks that came in and just killed them all.

Just went into the Armenian territories, just killed them all.

It was genocide.

You died because you were an Armenian.

And now the same thing is happening.

Same thing.

Same people.

And the world doesn't care again.

I mean, it's just,

but you're, if you're like me, you're like,

what am I going to do about it?

What am I going to do about it?

Well, the only thing we can do is to reduce the craziness.

We just have to do everything we can to reduce the craziness.

The craziness on our own side, the craziness in our own lives.

Just

anchor yourself to true principles and then stand up for them.

And I know that's getting scarier and scarier.

Believe me, believe me, do my job.

Do my job and think about what's coming your way.

It gets scarier and scarier every day,

but we have to do it.

I believe in the American principles.

I believe.

I believe in our mission statement.

Our mission statement is: all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.

Among these, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and governments are instituted among men to protect those rights.

We are a nation of we the people established a constitution

so we can protect people, protect their rights,

establish domestic and promote domestic tranquility.

Do you think our government is doing that?

Do you think our government is promoting domestic tranquility?

Or do you think our government is doing everything they can to make sure we stay separate from each other and divide us?

There's no greater cause,

not what we've become,

but what we could be.

There's no greater cause

for our God,

for our wives and children,

for the future.

I mean,

I'll be checking out.

At some point, I'll be checking out.

What do I care?

I care a great deal.

I look at my children and my grandchildren and I think, what are they going to do?

What is their life going to be like?

And we've always, as people, always felt, let this happen in my time,

so my children don't have to fight this.

And honestly, we're going into battle without

the weapon you need.

And that's God.

Righteousness, decency, compassion, charity.

All the things that come from God.

Without people who claim to be Christian, without them even really knowing what Christ is, what the gospel means, how it applies to life.

Yeah, they go to church.

Yeah, whatever.

You're listening to this program for a reason.

If I haven't hit you at some point, if you've never found the reason, maybe this is it.

Change your life today.

It's just that easy.

Sorry, simple.

It's not going to be easy.

It's going to be, it's simple.

Just do the next right thing.

Don't waver.

Don't waver.

Don't don't think about it.

Don't justify.

Just is this right or is this wrong?

Do the right thing.

Don't take on the whole world.

Don't take on all of the problems.

Just, hey,

I'm going log on to a porn site today.

Is that the right thing?

No,

no, do the next right.

You're not swearing off porn for your whole life, you're just not gonna do it right now.

You're not gonna do it now.

You choose right now, it's not the right thing, and I'm not gonna do it right now.

That's how it starts.

Please,

please,

turn your life around.

Back in a minute.

Jerry is as tough as nails.

He grew up on a farm.

By the time he was an adult, he was an incredible,

he was just in incredible shape from long hours of farm work, years of playing soccer, boxed.

I mean, you know, same life.

I've lived that.

As he got older,

I mean, I've owned a farm.

I've owned a farm.

My grandfather had a farm.

And, you know, that's a...

I had a first wife.

So it kind of counts as boxing, really?

Kind of, a little bit, no?

Welcome to the Glen Beck Program.

Tonight, I don't want you to forget I've got a special on tonight about the Constitution.

Our rights are under attack.

Every single problem we have,

every single one of them, it stems from the government violating the Constitution one way or another, violating

one of the Bill of Rights, one of the amendments.

Every single problem we're having, and people say that's

outdated and dusty.

No, we haven't even looked at it.

You would be

shocked.

Maybe you wouldn't be, but you go to Washington and you talk to people in Congress and you get serious about the Constitution and maybe two of them,

maybe two of them will say, Thank God you're saying this.

Everybody else is like, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I know, I know, I know, but we got real problems now.

Yeah, we have real problems because for so long we've all went, yeah, yeah, yeah, the Constitution, I get it.

Tonight, I'm going to show you

the things that are intruding in your life right now.

The government is in your home, especially in California, what they're doing right now.

And if this spreads,

forcing parents to affirm the trans children, or else it's a major warning sign, major warning sign.

Join me tonight, Parental Advisory, the Explicit Plot to Control Your Kids.

Watch it with your kids tonight.

Watch it as a family.

Your kids need to know this stuff.
