I get so many headaches every month.
It could be chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.
Botox, autobotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine.
It's not for those who have 14 or fewer headache days a month.
Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.
Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.
Alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.
Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.
Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck, and injection, site pain, fatigue, and headache.
Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.
Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.
Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lugarix's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.
Why wait?
Ask your doctor.

Hi, Pat.
How are you?
Oh, I am perfect.
And you?
Good, good.
How are you doing?
Oh, my gosh.
I'm really great.
You know, I'm just looking for a new credit card, one that I can max up, you know?
Yeah.
You know, so we can get that going.
Hey, how many times do you use your credit card a week?
The average is about 10 times for most people, 40 times a month.
But every time you do, you're helping banks, big banks, contribute money to leftist causes like La Raza and Planned Parenthood and Black Lives Matter and Acorn.
And believe it or not, some people are still giving to the Clinton Foundation.
So here's what you can do.
There is a parallel economy that is developing and there is a new credit card out called the Coin Card.
C-O-I-G-N, Coin, as in the way you spell sovereign at the end.
I don't know if that helps you.
The Coin Card is America's only conservative credit card, and it gives you freedom to support the causes that match your values.
Coin offers unlimited cashback rewards, world-class theft, fraud protection, and the ability to align your dollars with your values.
To learn more and apply for a Coin credit card, go to coin C-O-I-G-N, C-O-I-G-N

We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.
Stand up straight and hold the life.
It's a new day, our time to rise.
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is
the Glenn Back Program.
Hello, America.
It's Monday.
I'm so happy it's Monday.
Means we get to go to work for five more days.
And if we're really lucky, six.
Oh,
I love Monday.
We've got a great show for you coming up in just a second.
Standby, a lot of news.
Also, news on Oppenheimer.
And I really, really want to hear from anybody who saw Barbie because
I don't trust the people who went to see Barbie and said, oh, it was fabulous.
I laughed.
I cried.
It became a part of me.
Uh-huh.
So anyway, if you didn't do that, Oppenheimer.
But we have a ton of news on the Bidens, new news on Fox News, unfortunately, and so much more.
Standby, 60 Seconds We Begin.
Cynthia wrote in about her last experience with Relief Factor.
She said, Last night I was able to sleep through the night without waking up from pain and cramping from my right hip and leg.
It's almost the end of my second week of taking Relief Factor, and this was the first time I have felt genuinely hopeful that my life will go back to normal.
Gosh, that is so exciting, Cynthia.
Thank you so much.
I'm glad you're getting your life back.
If you're dealing with pain, please give Relief Factor a try.
It changed my life.
I don't know if I would still sit behind this microphone if I hadn't have started taking Relief Factor.
The three-week quick start is only $19.95.
It's a trial pack, not a drug, developed by doctors, and hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on to order more.

Call 800, the number 4 relief.

Feel the difference.
Well, hello, Pat.
Pat's going to be filling in for,
yeah, what's his name?
I can't even describe it.
Yeah, Stu.
Stu.
That is.
Who is?
Let's just leave it at
innocent until proven guilty.
And then let's move on.
So,
Pat, last week we were having a problem getting our audiobook
up on the website.
So, you know,
Amazon and Audible just,
I don't know, is this a trusted source?
And so we didn't get our audiobook up.
Now, we also didn't have Kindle until last week, which is weird because that's never happened to us before.
Today, I can safely tell you that the audiobook is up, and it is very funny.
I know it's not a funny book per se,
but I just, it's my book, so I read it the way I wanted to.
And there's a lot of additional stuff in the audiobook, and you can download it now.
Now, here's a new development.
We can't figure out why Target
is not selling the book.
I mean, blowback, a warning to save democracy from the next Trump, a purely political book is allowed to be sold in their stores, but not my book.
You know, they did this with Mark Levin, but Mark's book is in there.
They also have Cast, a highly partisan book.
How to be an Anti-Racist by Ibram X.
Kendi.
Oh, my gosh.
I think that's.
Oh, my.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Blowback.
Now, Blowback is especially important because it was released on July 18th, 2023, a week after our book.
So they can't make the argument that our book is
just new and eventually will be in stores.
And
Ron DeSantis' book is there.
What is it?
What is it about,
I mean, The Great Reset was the number one book in America when it launched.
The print version of Dark Future was number two.
It would have been number one had we had all the other sales, but gos darn it.
Gosh darn it.
We just couldn't get the Kindle book out and we just couldn't get the audio book.
And I don't believe we even, I don't even think Amazon even was doing pre-sales for those two.
But that's it.
Wild sales.
Why is it that, why is it?
No reason for Target's team to think Dark Future won't sell.
I mean, maybe, you know, maybe they would just want to put them in the deep red parts of the country, but that's not happening either.
The only explanation is there's something about this book that they don't like.
I wonder what that could be, Target.
I wonder what that could be.
Is it
the system that's making you put
tucking bathing suits?
Whose book would sell better?
Glenn Beck
or Ibram X.
Kendi?
Hmm.
How many number one bestsellers does Kendi have?
I'm guessing it isn't really forced on you.
Yeah.
I mean,
even if it is, he's still,
who's going to go buy that book?
And it's available.
It's available at Target.
If you want to go into the store, you get that baby today.
Very exciting.
I guess it's just another reason not to go to Target.
I mean,
I'm fine with it not being in Target, quite honestly, because I'm not going into Target, and I don't recommend anybody do go to Target.
But it's interesting.
I'm wondering, Costco, Sam's Clubs, are you seeing it everywhere?
It is the number two book in the country.
You should be seeing it everywhere.
I got an email from somebody who said it was in like the political section, not in the bestsellers, in the political section, and it was hidden.
I saw the video of that.
It was crazy.
Just crazy.
By the way, if you want to buy a book and you don't want to buy it, and you want to buy it online, you don't want to buy it from Amazon or something like that, go to bookshop.org.
Bookshop.org.
These are the independent mom and pop places.
And you can buy the
book at bookshop.org.
Okay, now that we got that out of
hey, Sarah, do we have another clip from the audiobook we can play here?
Okay.
The audiobook,
let's just say,
let's just say
it took me
20 hours, I believe, to read from start to finish.
And
there were times when I was a little sleepy.
There were times, well, let me just say
we didn't correct things.
If I, you know, if I said something wrong or, you know, we, we corrected it.
But, you know, last week I played a clip where I was doing a voice like this.
Listen, this is what's happening.
And then about halfway through, I found out that the guy was actually a woman.
And so we just kept going.
Here's another clip from the audiobook.
Americans have become so used to having their data collected that they've stopped keeping track.
Millions of users per day now willingly sign up for free services, email accounts, and applications that are constantly curating data about how we live our lives.
As a result, the level of data collection that has been developed since the birth of the internet is staggering.
Every minute, more than 450,000 tweets are sent on Twitter, 46,000 photos are shared on Instagram, 4.1 million users watch a video on YouTube, 156 million emails are sent, including 103 million spam emails.
Think of that: 103 million instances of spam per minute.
That's a whole lot of Nigerian princes in desperate need of some donations.
Facebook, the world's largest social media platform, has 1.5 billion active users each day.
There are 18 million weather forecasts requested from the weather channel every 60 seconds, and more than a trillion new digital photos are taken every year.
On search engines such as Google, DuckDuckGo, Microsoft's Bing, and if you're really still living in the past, yahoo.com apparently is still a thing.
5 billion searches are made every 24 hours.
65 billion messages are sent each day on Meta's WhatsApp service.
Okay, that wasn't really funny, but it was interesting.
That is in the part of the book where we're talking about how much information everybody has on each of of us.
They are going to know us better
than ourselves.
If you saw the episode of Black Mirror with the social credit score, oh, that was so yesterday.
That is absolutely happening.
We need to get a guy on, or a woman, could be a woman, could be a woman.
Hey, it could be somebody who identifies as a dragon as well.
But we need to get somebody on that reads all of these agreements, you know, that we all just are like, I sign.
Because there's a new black mirror out that talks about how they can
take
things from your life and, you know, turn it into a TV show.
And I don't think they have that ability yet, but I wouldn't put it past them to put that in there and be like, well, you know,
well, you know, maybe someday.
And all of us just go click and agree.
What rights have we given away to these giant corporations?
By the way, the Border Patrol chief was relieved of command the same day he testified in front of Congress.
I mean, huh.
Isn't that weird?
Isn't that weird?
And here's something, some good news for you.
Greg Abbott, his operation to halt the illegal immigrants and the weapons and the the drugs coming into the United States through Texas.
Did you see
what they have stopped so far with Operation Lone Star?
No, I have no, we've got a count of that already.
Yeah, yeah, this is just Operation Lone Star.
More than 422 million lethal doses of fentanyl.
Wow.
422 million lethal doses of fentanyl.
This is from the Texas side, just stopping it.
The apprehension of 394,200 illegal immigrants.
The
suspension of
the
illegal immigrants.
This is just since the launch of Operation Lone Star, which has been what?
A month?
Yeah, three months?
It has more than 31,300 criminal arrests, more than 29,000 felony charges.
Fight against fentanyl.
The border enforcement took 422 million legal doses of fentanyl during the border mission.
This is just them filling the gaps.
You know, and also probably, you know, closing the gates back up.
There are so many things that this administration is doing to us now that are
so
incredible.
It's clear all they're trying to do is destroy us.
It's so clear.
For instance, let me see.
There's the Biden health plan.
Democrats seem unable.
This is from the Washington Examiner.
Democrats seem unable to bear the thought Americans would want to use health insurance plans that the Biden administration doesn't favor.
President Biden this month proposed a new rule that would throw thousands of people off insurance rather than keep the plans that they have chosen.
Oh, you can keep the plan that you want if you like it.
The proposed rule
should not be allowed to take.
Biden says he is cracking down on junk insurance by limiting allowable options for some-time policies.
The Biden nanny bureaucrats call it junk.
It's insurance for 1.5 million people now, 3 million since 2018.
These people have chosen it as the best option for their needs.
The short-term health plans provide an attractive, less costly option, especially attractive to younger, healthier people.
They may not cover every health benefit that the Biden Commissars want to force all of us to buy, but that shouldn't be the government's concern.
If a person buying insurance is a 25-year-old man or a 50-year-old fit woman, why should they be forced to pay for coverage of breastfeeding equipment and birth control?
Or for pregnancy, maternity, newborn care, or rehabilitative services?
Analysts say short-term plans save customers 50 to 80% in monthly premium cost or about $5,000 a year.
There are plenty of young, healthy workers that can make this payment, and it will make a huge difference.
Whether for making payments or for a new home or avoiding debt, affording healthier eating habits, whatever it is, here Biden wants to deny them that option.
So
what is that?
What is that other than impoverishing people
and taking away every other option?
It's if You like your health care and you like your doctor, you can keep it as long as we like it too.
It's if they don't like it, and Obama did the same thing when he was in office.
If we don't like it, though, sorry, you can't have it.
It's really
remarkable.
We'll go down the list of things that are happening today.
I want to take you to San Francisco and
to another employee that lost their job just because they wanted to stop some shoplifting at the store.
What's happening makes no sense and I'm going to explain it to you in the way you will clearly understand because
your mom and dad probably said it to you.
We'll do that in 60 seconds.
Stand by.

So we are now not allowed to buy the insurance that you want to buy.
And what does that mean?
Well, it means everybody's insurance is going to go up.
The insurance that Biden is now trying to stop slowed the inflation on health care,
which, I don't know if you noticed, is completely out of control.
Everything the government tries to fix, they break.
You cannot ask the person who broke the device to fix it.
It is a
it's just an exercise in futility.
They don't understand it.
That's why they broke it.
They cannot fix it.
You need to go to new people.
Let me show you a couple of things.
First, I was driving home yesterday, friend from Great Britain, and
he said,
we had a deer attack our truck on the way out.
Usually, you know, you could hit a deer.
Deer are everywhere here, and so you have to be very careful.
And instead of us hitting a deer a deer hit us we we were driving by and it hit the back of the the truck and we stopped and the deer stood up and just kind of like shook it off and like
and then ran off um
and we were talking about i said the damage to the car doesn't look so bad i hope he's okay uh and my friend said you know we'd have to have this examined if we lived over in great britain and i said what do you mean he said, oh, you,
if you have damage to your car, you have to fix it.
Otherwise, you can be in trouble.
And I said, any kind of damage?
He said, pretty much, yeah.
He said, you get hit and you get a ding.
He said, every year we have to go have an inspection.
And he said, if you have any rust on your car, it has to be fixed.
And I said, any rust on your car, what business is it of the government?
He said, it's none of their business, but we don't understand what you understand.
We still live under the government, knows all, and we do what the government says we have to do.
Okay, I don't want to live that way, and we'll tell you about some things that are coming your way that will really enforce it.
But let me just give you maybe one or two stories here.
San Francisco business owner goes ballistic on city leaders after he is assaulted by a homeless man urinating in the street.
He said, I just got punched in the effing face right now by a guy who was pissing on the street, and now I'm pissed.
I can't believe I live in a city where people can just piss on a street, come punch you in the face, and get away with it.
The guy ran off.
They're probably not going to find him.
I am fed up with this city.
It's like
I can't just be outside and I can't run a business without getting punched in the face.
I'm pissed off, really pissed off.
So
what happens to children when you don't punish them?
Do they get better or do they get worse?
Why do our parents always say before they spanked us or disciplined, please don't make me do that?
I really don't want to do this.
Why?
The Glenn Beck program.
More on that in just a second.

Do you have a pair of my slippers, Pat?
No.
I do not.
What?
I need to get some, but
as of now.
Oh, they're 25 bucks right now.
You will love them.
You, because you're claustrophobic and you don't want things on your feet and stuff.
So you don't like tie shoes and everything else.
You've been like a little kid ever since I've known you.
I got to take off my shoes.
I'm inside now.
But these my slippers are so comfortable and you can wear them outside.
I mean, I've been wearing them at the ranch.
Probably not the best place to wear them, but I've been wearing them out doing work outside.
They are great.

It's Glenn and Pat.
Stu is, I'm just, let's just, innocent until proven guilty.
We'll leave it at that, tell you more later.
It should be, I mean, he was,
he's, I mean, he's unavailable right now, but I think the attorneys will have this all cleared up and he'll be back tomorrow.
A Lowe's employee was fired from her job for attempting to stop shoplifters trying to steal over $2,000 worth of merchandise in Georgia.
Now, let me, let me, let me say,
this I really would like to bring to you with the understanding that there are two kinds of people in America.
There are the kind of people that create good things in America and those that enable really bad things to happen in America.
Donna Hannesborough previously worked at the Lowe's store in Rinson, Georgia.
It was last week, I think.
No, it was four weeks ago.
It was in June 25th.
The then employee attempted to thwart a shoplifting attempt.
Three suspects reportedly loaded up a shopping cart with merchandise and exited the home improvement store with the stolen items.
The police department said in a statement, Lowe's employee, Donna
Hansborough, Hansborough, attempted to stop one of the subjects by grabbing the shopping cart.
She did not at any time make contact with any person.
The cart that Donna grabbed was in the possession of a subject, Tayika Berry.
After Donna grabbed the cart, Berry struck Donna in the face three times, causing Donna's right eye to swell and blacken.
The police department identified the other two shoplifting suspects as Jamar Lawton and Joseph Berry, the uncle of Takea Berry.
Police say they had arrested Lawton, but are still searching for the uncle and the niece suspects.
Authorities say that trio stole merchandise worth $2,100.
Police said Lowe's fired Hansborough for attempting to stop the theft, which violated the company's policy against intervening with shoplifters.
Hansborough had worked for Lowe's for 13 years.
They say, if you see somebody stealing something and taking it out the door, not to pursue, not to go out.
I lost it.
I grabbed the cart.
I don't actually remember going out, but I did.
And I grabbed the cart that had stolen items in it.
I just get tired of seeing things go out the door.
I just lost it.
Thank you.
I want to get her on the air.
Sarah, can you ask one of our producers to see if we can get Donna on the the air?
I would really like to talk to her because that is who we should be.
You can't have these companies that are just saying, yeah, just let them go.
If you let them go, it's only going to get worse.
What one generation tolerates, the next generation embraces.
So what does that mean as it gets worse and worse?
Do we still happen to have the video from San Francisco from the mall last week?
I think it was in Friday's stack of stuff.
It's amazing.
One of the biggest malls in San Francisco, right down by the harbor, beautiful mall,
ghost town,
absolute ghost town.
This guy took on YouTube, he just took a tour of it and showed empty, empty, empty, not a soul in the place.
There was like one, one, I think it was a nail salon in it.
And it's got a Hyatt Regency attached to it.
It was a really nice place.
Now it's just so dangerous,
nobody can do anything.
What do you suppose, Lowe's, your policies lead to?
You either have to work for companies that get this,
and if your company is this far off the base, they are part of the problem.
They will only increase the danger in your neighborhood.
If they don't learn, if cops, I mean, not cops, if robbers just feel they can get away with anything and nothing's going to be done,
you will be ruled by the worst kind of people.
whether they're in office or just ruling your streets.
It's insane.
And everybody who is doing it, every person that is in a city and it's happening to you,
you have to stand up.
You have to stand up to your city council.
You have to stand up to your mayor or your governor or whoever's launching this garbage.
Otherwise, we're going to lose it all.
And that's why.
How many businesses have moved completely out of San Francisco now?
It's been, I mean, this was months ago.
It was at least two dozen.
And I think it's way more than that.
Oh, it's more than that.
Yeah.
I think it's more than that.
Oh, it's like Nordstrom's is gone.
The big stores are gone.
Try to get medicine from a CVS.
Gone.
They can't handle the theft anymore.
And that's why
you see so many convenience stores or stores in downtown San Francisco locking everything up.
There's nothing you can go buy
at a convenience store in San Francisco anymore without the employee coming in and locking that area because people just come in and steal it all.
So bad.
I went to a CVS or a Dwayne Reed when I was in New York last time.
I think it was around Christmas last year.
And it was insanity.
There were employees that had keys
for every single row.
And if you wanted something, you had to wait for the guy with a key to get into that row.
And it was like toothpaste.
Yeah.
Can you imagine?
It was like a prison pharmacy.
It was crazy.
How much has that hampered their business, too?
I mean, the sales have to go down a lot because of that.
And nobody wants that anymore.
Well,
you're not just grabbing stuff off the shelf.
You know, you're not,
there's anything that you're like, I don't know, I'll give that a try.
That's over.
You go specifically for what you're looking for.
Hey, an update for you.
On Friday, we brought you the exclusive that Fox News Corporate had a program that matched donations to charities like Planned Parenthood, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Satanic Temple.
They were matching 100%
donations to the Satanic Temple and others.
My producer, Ricky, saw it with her own eyes via a video tour from a whistleblower inside, spoke with three three sources inside of Fox to confirm.
We showed you the evidence in the screenshots and then did our due diligence and asked Fox why would they match donations to charities that hate Fox News and go against their audience's values?
Would it really be a shame
for you if they were using Fox Nation subscriber money to match donations to these charities?
We also asked them why Billy Graham's
Evangelical Association was not eligible for donation matching.
Maybe it had to do with a DEI-like donation policy, or maybe it was just a glitch.
We don't know.
We started our investigation on their portal.
There has been an update now showing that an invitation to Billy Graham charity had been sent to join the Fox Giving program.
Now that's curious because that makes you understand
that groups like the Satanic Temple are not auto-loaded, it seems, into the Fox Giving portal by third-party apps if invitations to join the portal are being sent.
We can't confirm the little mystery there because they never got back to us.
Even though we
haven't really heard a peep from Fox, our source, notice a pretty big update over the weekend.
On Wednesday night, we pulled a screenshot from the portal where we could see on the screen how the Satanic Temple was eligible for 100% donation, a match from Fox up to $1,000.
We showed it to you on Friday's broadcast.
You're seeing it now if you're watching the Blaze.
By Sunday morning, the Satanic Temple was still in their Fox giving portal, but you can see it's no longer eligible for donation matching.
Oh, so now just the Satanists that want to give, they can give.
We'd like to know.
We've reached back out to Fox to ask and we'll keep you updated if we hear anything back or see anything change.
This is incredible how far Fox has fallen.
Thus, the dump Fox promo code, perhaps, where you get $30 off your subscription.
Well,
I mean,
here's one thing we don't do we don't uh give money to Planned Parenthood
or Verizon or
the satanic temple the satanic temple yeah yeah yeah we don't we don't do that and so you won't want
to southern poverty
no uh uh no no I won't do it I won't do it isn't that discriminatory
isn't that discriminatory isn't that a little bit discriminatory yeah it is I have what's called a discriminating taste you You know, it used to be a good thing, you know, when you're like, I don't know.
It's my money.
I want to put it to the right place.
Let me think about it and use some discrimination to say, Satan,
God,
I'm going to go with God.
I'm going to go with God.
You know, and it's hard because Fox News is so much, much bigger than I am.
So they got a lot of money going to that satanic temple, which, by the way, I am so done with people saying, oh, they're not really Satanists.
What would you expect a Satanist to say?
Gonna tell you the truth?
We don't really, yeah, we're not really Satanists.
We just do that, you know, and we say that and, you know, put Satan statues
around,
you know,
because it's provocative, you know, it's provocative and, you know, gets people to think,
Does it?
And, you know, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.
We've gone to court to try to force New Mexico to,
you know, give us give us the go-ahead on the
ritualistic abortion ceremony that we do.
But that's, you know, nothing to do with Satan.
That's right.
No.
Nothing to do with Satan.
No.
No.
We're just ritualistically killing a baby.
And there's a lot of people that do that, you know,
that aren't connected to Satan.
Can't think of any right now.
But
you just see the Gallup poll that shows that belief in God is down to 74% in America now.
And
they did five spiritual entities.
They did God, hell, heaven, angels, and the devil.
74% believe in God.
Only 58% believe in the devil.
How is that possible?
That there's not...
If you believe in one, wouldn't you?
Yeah, right.
Exactly.
He does not exist.
Exactly.
Everybody says that the devil exists.
They
have no idea what they're talking about.
Just a guy with a deep voice.
And little points on his head, but other than that, nothing to it.
That hurt.
Let me tell you about the Tuttle Twins.
They're on a mission to help families learn from history, and they're doing that in the best way they know how with amazing books.
Amazing books for kids of all ages to teach about the history of our nation.
If we can just understand the stories and the ideas that make America so special, we'll know how important it is to preserve our freedoms.
Most textbooks don't teach these ideas to kids, but the Tuttle Twins, their history books, do.
They're amazing.
Kids love them.
They come away with a real appreciation of the ideas that make America special.
The 4th of July is past now, but there's still no better time to learn about our independence.
To celebrate the release of their new book, the Tuttle Twins are giving one family vacation getaway to visit the historic sites around Boston.

The Glen Beck Program
Welcome to the Glen Beck Program.
Welcome, Pat Ray, filling in for
it's shameful when you find out about it, but innocent until proven guilty.
He'll be back, I'm sure, tomorrow.
It's no big deal.
Pat Ray joins us sitting in for Stu.
Yeah.
How are you, Dins?
Oh,
I'm good.
Did you see Oppenheimer over the weekend?
I did not.
No, I didn't either.
I didn't really want to.
But I've heard it's great.
And a lot of people apparently went to both Barbie and Oppenheimer.
That's why it it was a Barbenheimer weekend.
But
they said, see Barbie first because Oppenheimer is going to stick with you.
Wait, the Barbie movie doesn't stick with you?
That's a stunner to me right there.
I think you'd be thinking about that for days or weeks afterwards.
I talked to my daughter who said,
my second oldest daughter who said
she went to it, Barbie, and she said she like was so moved by it and like she cried up and I'm like okay well I mean she's my she's my wokest child yeah okay she's not woke but she's you know she's on that road
and uh
and so I thought oh it's got to be something like yes I am a woman and I'm not plastic it has to be something like that I know it has to be it probably brings back memories of you know playing with Barbies and whatever okay I guess yeah be it again.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I can't imagine basing a child.
I know when the Mario Brothers,
you know, they did their movie, I wept like a little girl.
Did you?
Wept.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm sure I would have, too, had I gone to the movie, but somehow I missed it.
Dang it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Darn it.
Shoot, you would have wept like a little girl, too.
Oh, yeah.
Although, what's her name that plays Barbie is really good, Margot Robbie.
She's really good, and so is,
you know, Ken.
Yes.
Whatever his name is.
Ryan Gosling, yeah.
Yeah, you don't even know who Brian Gosling is, do you?
No, I do.
I do.
He played in
The Notebook.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
So.
Oh, wow.
If that's not a son from your wife.
That's what's the notebook.
That's the only reason why you know.
All right.
Back in a second.
you know, you really work hard for the money that you earn, and if you're like me, when you have an opportunity to spend that money, you'd prefer to spend it on things that are made here in America, made by people who hold your same values.
It's not just patriotic, it's a quality thing.
And traditionally, things that are made here in America last longer, work better, set the standard for the rest of the world.
That's one of the reasons I love partnering with a company like Grip Six.
This is a startup company, Grip Six.
They started making wallets and then belts and wanted to make everything themselves in America and using all American sources.
If you buy their socks, for instance, everything comes from America.
You're going to an American farm, they're growing the right kind of sheep, and then you cut that by Americans and you have it manufactured and washed and processed by Americans.
And then another American company weaves it into socks.
It's an American business owner.
We have to really take care of those who have accepted the risk that comes along with only using American-made products and American labor.

This is the Glenn Beck program.
Hello, America.
There's a lot going on in the world, but there's also a lot that we can learn from social culture.
Barbie, the Barbie movie, is out and it broke all kinds of records.
Oppenheimer didn't do as well, but still broke way past their expectations as a film.
And remember, it's the longest, heaviest IMAX film ever made.
The film itself weighs 600 pounds.
So it's kind of a weighty movie and can't keep filling them the theaters up over and over again as fast as you can for things like Barbie.
But I want to show you some things that we should learn from this in 60 seconds.
Standby.
First, let me tell you about our sponsor, this half hour.
Our sponsor is Relief Factor.
Dealing with aches and pains in your everyday life can be so exhausting.
Believe me, I...
I think of all of the things that I could barely do just a few years ago and before I was introduced to Relief Factor.
I'm sitting here in my studio up at the Standing Rock Ranch and where you can't really see in the background is my art studio up here.
And yesterday I spent the day painting, and
I couldn't have done that before, not without Relief Factor.
There is a solution to your pain.
Please just try it.
Try the three-week quick start.
It doesn't work for everybody, but after three weeks, you'll know if it works for you.
And if it doesn't, stop taking it.
But 70% of the people try it and they go on to order more.
Three-week quickstart, 1995.
ReliefFactor.com.
It's not a drug, so it's not going to whack you out.
800 for Relief.
800, the number four relief.
ReliefFactor.com.
800, the number 4 relief.
Feel the difference.
Alrighty.
So let's start with the movie Oppenheimer.
And
some of the things that will bring it to life.
If you happen to be
at the museum when we took it on the road here recently, and by the way, I'm having meetings hopefully next month with some companies that will help us take it on the road all next year so it can be seen all over the country.
It is truly remarkable.
And I want to just show you: this was just one small section of the World War II section, and it revolves around everything that Oppenheimer did.
When we dropped the bomb,
we had no idea what it was going to do.
We have now in the collection, and this was just
purchased, so we don't have the physical object with me, and I can't give you the full,
I can't read you the whole thing because I don't have it yet.
But it was a letter
to his mom and dad.
He was the co-pilot of Enola Gay.
He also was asked to keep a calendar, you know, a TikTok, if you will, minute by minute, what was happening.
And I've read the original and it is unbelievable.
But let me give you the summary of it here because I don't have the original
briefing at 2400, eating at 0:030.
Mom and Dad.
We started engines at 0227.
We taxied out and took off at 0235.
We then got off the ground at exactly 245.
At the last minute before takeoff, our cruising altitude had been changed, which means possibly a rougher trip.
Starting out as an uneventful flight, he then continues to record as the bomb technicians make the the final adjustments to the bombs at 0320 items 1 through 11 were completed by captain parsons
in an echo of his hope to fly the mission and his resentment at being relegated to co-pilot he says colonel tibbets has been hard at work with the usual tasks that belong to the pilot of a b-29
As the hours count down,
he begins to write, and now everything is in the dark.
There are no lights inside the B-29.
They don't want any indication that this plane is up.
He begins to write everything in the dark and you can see sometimes his handwriting is very slanted and goes into other lines.
By 0552,
it's beginning to be real light outside.
Then, climbing to 9,000 feet, we'll stay here until we're about an hour away from the Empire.
the bomber makes a rendezvous with two other B-29s equipped with observation and photographic gear.
Together, the three aircraft climb to an altitude of 30,000 feet.
Everyone will be relieved when we have left our bomb and get halfway home.
Better yet, all the way home.
At 0730, he writes, We are loaded.
The bomb is now alive.
It's a disturbing and funny feeling knowing it's right in back of you.
Now at this point, Hiroshima has been identified as the primary target.
Two secondary targets had also been selected in the event of unfavorable weather conditions.
The two scout planes radio back information on the conditions,
you know, cloud conditions, etc., etc., over the targets.
We just received a report that our primary is the best target.
So we will make a run on Hiroshima.
Right now, we're 25 miles from the Empire.
Finally, the crews were in place and it was time to execute the mission.
Quote, there'll be a short intermission while we bomb our target.
This was followed by a brief blow-by-below description of the bomb run,
culminating in the detonation at 8:16:02 a.m.
For the next minute no one knew what to expect.
The bombardier and the right seat jockey or pilot Tibbs both forgot to put on their dark glasses and therefore witnessed the flash which was terrific.
15 seconds after the flash there were two very distinct slaps on the ship.
Then there was all the physical effects that we felt.
We then turned the ship so we could observe the results.
And there in front of our eyes, was it, without a doubt, the greatest explosion man has ever witnessed.
He then, on the paper, draws what he saw.
Struggling for words at this minute, he finally continues, I am certain the entire crew felt this experience was more than any human had ever thought possible.
It just seems impossible to comprehend.
Just how many did we kill?
I honestly have a feeling of groping for words to explain this,
or I might say, my God, what have we done?
If I live a hundred years, I'll never quite get those few minutes out of my mind.
That's from the co-pilot.
of the Enola Gay, the Little Boy mission, number one.
We did it again
but we did something else before we dropped this bomb because of Oppenheimer because they had seen it and they did not ever want it dropped Harry Truman knew if we drop this bomb it will mean that
we'll probably come to an end of this war and it will actually save lives
because
the Japanese had been convinced by the emperor that we were savages and that we were worse than
their worst nightmare.
And remember, they were,
I believe, the Japanese in China were worse than the Germans with the Jews.
They were,
they just slaughtered them in just such brutal, brutal ways.
They were just, they weren't people, just like the Germans didn't see Jews as people.
But because Oppenheimer saw what could be done and all of the scientists involved knew the destructive power, they made Truman a deal.
You can only drop this if
you warn the people.
And so if you're watching Blaze TV, Pat will hold up.
How many do you have?
One or two?
I have two.
The first one is the planes dropping bombs on one side.
So like a photograph of that.
And on the flip side of that are the words that they sent to the Japanese.
So in other words, this is coming your way.
And then they tell them what to do about it.
Right.
They say, you're not our enemies.
We're picking these 10 cities.
And in the next 10 days, we will drop a bomb of more destructive power than is imaginable.
And please leave.
You're not our enemy.
Take food and water with you.
We dropped 70 million
on 10 cities before we dropped each bomb.
70 million leaflets.
Nobody had ever done that ever in the history of the world.
But nobody in the history of the world had ever seen anything like the atomic bomb.
What else do you have there?
It looks like a Japanese family on one side.
Yes.
And saying the same thing.
Saying the same thing on the other side.
Yeah.
Telling them to get out.
So we have a dodge.
Yeah.
We have several of those
leaflets.
And that's not something I was ever taught when I was in school.
So we dropped the bomb.
And let me show you the first bomb in Hiroshima.
We have, do you have just regular coins?
These are just Japanese coins.
So hold those up to the camera.
These are just
normal coins.
Like three of them.
Just teeny, teeny little tiny.
Yeah, they're like pennies or dimes.
Smaller even than a penny.
Yeah.
So
those are the Japanese coins that would have been on somebody's desk or at a bank.
But there was a stack of coins.
We don't know where, but it was a stack of coins at Hiroshima, all stacked up.
When the blast hit,
it fused a stack of coins together.
Maybe there's 10 of them here or 15, something like that.
And they're all fused.
And they're from the heat.
All just fused.
Yeah, burned.
We have the show the regular marble,
Pat.
There was a marble at Hiroshima, and that's the regular, it's just like a big Aggie,
right?
Doesn't have an American flag in it, but just a big Aggie.
Now,
this is the same marble that was within the blast site, and it has just been exploded from the inside.
It's a little bigger inside, too, isn't it?
Yeah, oh, yeah.
Pat?
Yeah, it's quite a bit bigger.
Yeah, and it just, the heat just exploded it from from the inside.
It's crazy looking.
Amazing.
So Hiroshima didn't work, so we had to do it again.
Little Boy was mission number one.
Fat Man was number two.
And
we dropped leaflets.
You've never seen the size of Jesse, Jeffy.
He's enormous.
He will kill everybody in the area.
Oh, no, it was a different fat boy.
So fat boy, we dropped over Nagasaki.
What most people don't know is the history of Nagasaki.
I'll give that to you in 60 seconds.
Standby.
Sponsor this half-hour is Rough Greens.
Thomas wrote in about his dog's experience with Rough Greens.
He says, I've got two Huskies, and I have to admit, I didn't expect much.
I thought for sure this was a gimmick, but I'm a believer.
I've been three weeks
giving them rough greens for three weeks, and their fur looks incredible, and the excitement and the stamina is overwhelming.
Yeah, if you have one of those little,
I don't know if you want to give them rough greens.
I mean, those kind of dogs are not the kind of dogs that I would hope would have a long life, and in my house would have a very short life.
But
if your dog's already like, yibe, yibe, yibe,
oh my gosh, giving them rough greens could be
because it just
reinvigorates them.
They are playing more.
They're healthier.
They're happier.
Thomas, I had the same experience with my dog Uno when he tried it, and he eats every meal now.
It's a supplement
devised and developed by naturopathic Dr.
Dennis Black, and you sprinkle it on your dog's food.
It's filled with vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, you name it.
If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in rough greens.
They're so confident your dog's going to love it, they have a special deal for you.
They want you just to take a free trial bag of rough greens, roughgreens.com/slash Beck or call 833-Glenn33.
That's 833-G-L-E-N-N33.
You're gonna love it.
You get your first trial bag for free, just pay for shipping.

10-second station ID.
So, I think one of the more incredible things we have in our collection,
we have the bombs away
faceplate from the Enola Gay,
given to a gentleman from
Captain Tibbetts years ago.
And he described watching the light right above the bombs away.
But we also have something from
Nagasaki.
Nagasaki was the second city to be hit.
Most people don't know Christianity was banned in Japan up until about 1900.
Nagasaki was the hideout for Christians.
It had become the underground Christian area of Japan.
And when they made it legal to be Christian,
they built a giant Catholic church, a cathedral there.
That cathedral was only about a thousand yards away from ground zero.
If you look for it online,
you should look for it.
It is incredible.
You look for it online.
It is a massive cathedral.
They were in prayer.
and having mass at the time.
And it was
really, pretty much completely vaporized you can see where one of the towers kind of was but everything else is just gone
there was a bell in the bell tower it survived and
it is now in the remembrance park in Nagasaki and I believe they ring that bell
every year as a reminder.
There was one other bell that survived that same church, and it's a lot smaller.
And I'm doing our investigation on it right now, so we're not sure if this is accurate, but we believe this was
one of the communion bells.
So when communion would be
served, it would be rung, the bells would ring.
And this is one of the bells.
This is the only other bell that survived from that church.
Can you read what it says on on it?
Angelus Nagasaki.
Yeah, and it's in Japanese on the other side.
And it is
stained, they think, from the blast.
Would you hold it up and ring it, Pat?
Yeah.
It doesn't have a ringer.
So.
Oh, did you guys take out the ringer?
I put the ringer in.
Yeah.
No.
JP, go get the ringer, would you, and put it back in?
I know we don't want to ring it very often, but
I think it's
appropriate as we're talking about this.
All right.
You know how to put that in there?
This was, I've tried to get that bell for 15 years.
Still rings, even after having been through an atomic blast.
Pretty amazing.
Yeah.
And by the way, the reason why I'm not holding these up or showing them or even in the room is we haven't had any radiation check on it yet.
Thank you for that.
So I'm sure, Pat.
I'm sure it's fine.
It's fine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, we don't actually, we have not done a Geiger counter.
We just all assumed.
There are these things.
We should.
You're fine.
Of course.
What was it?
They always got.
You've got a Geiger counter.
You'd have to vacate the area for 10,000 years before things are not radiated anymore.
That's been, what, 70?
That's pretty close.
It's pretty close.
And we washed it.
You're wearing
rubber gloves.
Yeah.
So stand up and look at your chair.
Is there an x-ray burned into your chair?
Big outline of my butt cheeks on the chair.
Yes.
Yeah.
Isn't that great?
You know, what's so amazing is those of us who are older and grew up in the era of the Cold War and the bombing and everything else, and my parents and grandparents remembered the bomb.
There was a healthy respect for the danger of that kind of weapon.
Now it just seems to be like, hey, they might use nuclear weapons.
And
nobody seems to really talk about the grand effects of using a nuclear weapon.
It's a little disturbing.
Maybe we should...
Maybe we should take our kids to Oppenheimer and make sure they understand the ramifications.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
I just got the translation of that leaflet.
I want to read it to you.
This is the leaflet.
We dropped 70 million of these leaflets on the Japanese.
And I said 10 cities, it's actually four cities we did it with.
Read this carefully as it may save your life or the life of a relative or a friend.
In the next few days, the military installations in four or more of the cities named on on the reverse side of this leaflet will be destroyed by American bombs.
These cities contain military installations and workshops of factories
which produce military goods.
We are determined to destroy all of the tools of the military clique which they are using to prolong this useless war.
Unfortunately, bombs have no eyes.
So, in accordance with the American well-known humanitarian principles, the American Air Force, which does not wish to injure innocent people, now gives you a warning to evacuate the cities named to save your lives.
America is not fighting the Japanese people, it is fighting the military group which has enslaved the Japanese people.
The people which America will bring free, the people from the oppression of the military and mean
and mean the emergence of a new and better Japan.
You can restore peace by demanding new and good leaders who who will end this war.
We cannot promise you only these cities will be among those attacked, but at least four will be.
Heed this warning and evacuate these cities.
The list of doomed cities printed on the opposite side,
Amorari,
Hiroshima,
Agi, whatever, I don't know all these names, Nagasaki
underscored cities were bombed with high explosives and incidentary bombs on the night of 28-29 July 1925.
Then it goes on,
then it goes on to talk about our destructive power
and what we are,
the bomb that we will be dropping within the next 72 hours.
I mean, we just,
holy cow,
systematic destruction will continue as long as you blindly follow your military leaders, is placing you at the very brink of extinction.
It is your responsibility to overthrow the military government and save what you have left of your beautiful country.
We urge you to evacuate these cities.
It's pretty,
it's
pretty incredible.
Do you know anyone?
Anyone that has ever done this, ever?
No.
No.
pretty unheard of.
In the midst of a war like this, when we were
a little ticked off, too, at Japan, frankly, for
sneak attacks.
A little.
Yeah.
A little.
It's pretty amazing.
Pretty amazing.
But that all came about because of Oppenheimer and all of the scientists that saw the bomb and went, okay, that's really not good.
Really not good.
Do you remember when we grew up, when I said we should take our kids to Oppenheimer, I just, I had this,
I don't know how to say it, but almost a physical pushback from that.
I was like, ooh, no,
only because, do you remember those awful movies, Pat, that we used to have to watch?
Yeah.
We would have in school.
Yeah.
And it was all about the bombs and, oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
It was frightening.
It was the 60s and 70s were kind of scary for kids.
Scary.
They'd do the drill, you know,
and you'd get under your desk like the desk would protect you from a nuclear explosion when in reality we we learned from indiana jones and the crystal skull you needed an empty you need a refrigerator for that yes you know to really be safe
if they would have provided us all with empty fridges that we could get into then you understand it but under the desk that didn't work And I think even
as kids, we knew that, right?
I mean, oh, yeah.
Yeah.
When they showed the, I'm trying to remember the name of the turtle.
What was the name of the tet Tommy the Turtle?
Or
anyway,
they had this the turtle thing for civil defense, and even I knew the turtle is lying.
You have a clip of that?
Dumb, dumb, beetle, dumb, dumb, beetle, dumb, dumb, beetle, dumb, dumb.
There was a turtle by the name of Bert, and Bert the turtle was very alert.
Tommy, when danger threatened him, he never got hurt.
He knew just what to do.
He's duck, whoosh, and cover.
Yeah.
Duck, whoosh, and cover.
He did what we all must learn to do.
You and you and you and you.
Duck, whoosh, and cover.
Be sure and remember what Bert the Turtle just did, friends, because every one of us must remember to do the same thing.
Wow.
That's what this film is all about.
Duck and Cover.
This is an official civil defense film produced in cooperation with the Federal Civil Defense Administration and in consultation with the Safety Commission of the National Education Association.
Produced by Archer Productions, Incorporated.
Hey, Bert, duck and cover and meet him.
He would come out and then he would see a flash and then he'd stick his head underneath a tortoise shell.
And I was like, why don't you just make, why don't we make our desks into into tortoise shells then?
If that's the, we're sitting under a desk, he's inside, we're under it.
Isn't the whole place going to be either vaporized or fall on us?
And I don't think this stupid desk is going to be helpful to keep the roof off of my body.
No,
scary.
At least we'd know where all the kids were.
Oh, that smush there, third row, second over.
That's Glenn.
Yeah.
Anyway, you know, it's real, it's, I think we're still in the,
I mean, I think our kids
are probably more freaked out now than we were.
Than we were.
Oh, yeah.
And it was.
Yeah.
Because at least we were told, you know, the chances of nuclear holocaust are slim.
They're told that climate change is happening right now and it's catastrophic.
And if we don't completely change our way of life, we're all going to die.
The earth is going to, you know, go extinct with living things on it.
It's incredible.
And that's why you have people like Freda Thunberg.
Oh, she's great.
Do you,
I mean, think of all of the things they have to deal with.
Your kids are being told that life is going instinct.
Instinct.
Yes, yes.
Extinct.
Thank you.
Going extinct.
You are being,
your kids are being told that there is no gender,
that sex is not about procreation, sex is about fun.
So
you can explore anything.
There is no truth.
They're being told the traditional truths that we have had for thousands of years are garbage or dangerous.
We're being told that the Constitution and the Declaration is dangerous.
They're telling them that the cops are dangerous,
that our country is falling apart yep i mean the capitalist
is evil yeah evil
what do they have to hold on to because even if they're a
little you know warrior it's never enough it's never good enough
you're never doing enough
And they can turn on you at any time.
I mean, what kind of childhood is this?
It's a frightening one.
And then we wonder why our kids are so troubled.
Take a look at what we're doing to them, what we're telling them all the time, every day.
The fear-mongering
has to stop.
It's not going to, but it needs to stop.
Well, let me tell you a woman in Houston, because she's doing something about it.
She has been very, very upset about what is happening with Russia and the war in Ukraine.
And
so she just, she was just
online.
And she's like, look, I'm, I'm only, and may I quote her here.
I'm, I'm only a sexy girl in Ukraine, but I want to volunteer.
and probably put out, she said.
So she has just probably, though, that's not guaranteed.
Probably.
No, come on.
She's discriminating.
And
she moved from Houston
and she's over there now in Ukraine.
And she posts strip teases during air raid sirens and photos with rocket launchers.
So, I mean, I think, you know,
there's somebody who's, you know, given her all.
And
I'm sure people appreciate it.
Pat, you were thinking about doing that, weren't you?
I was, I was thinking about it.
My wife discouraged it.
Uh, she said that wouldn't help, that really wouldn't help, and uh, that was a bit
hurtful, frankly.
It was, it was, I wanted to give my all, and she was like, No, that's not the way to go.
I wanted to do the same thing, and my wife didn't try to stop me, she just vomited.
Uh, and uh,
so anyway, uh, our sponsor this half hour is Patriot Mobile.
At a certain point, it is no longer surprising when you hear the words, you know what the company is doing now?
Company's going woke.
Companies just completely, my gosh,
Disney.
Whew.
Mobile companies are no exception.
For years, they've taken millions of dollars and pumped them into leftist causes.
And, you know, we just kind of took it because pretty much felt like we had to.
What's the alternative?
Would you not have a cell phone?
I highly recommend it, by the way.
The good news is there is another choice.
Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, offering dependable nationwide coverage on all three major networks.
So you get the best possible service in your area and you get it without the leftist propaganda.
In fact, when you make the switch to Patriot Mobile, you're letting the world know that you support free speech, religious freedoms, sanctity of human life, the Second Amendment, the military, veterans, first responder heroes.
Heck, I'm going to go out on a limb and say all of the amendments.
Well, except for maybe the one of the
tax.
Yeah, and a women's right to vote, but

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
We're so glad that you're here.
We have Christopher Ruffo joining us in just a few minutes.
The cultural revolution that is happening in America, he really boils it down.
And we're going to talk to him about
his new book and
everything that he has done.
He is really a warrior out there.
We're very grateful for Christopher Ruffo.
We were just talking about the movies that came out this weekend.
Number one was Barbie, and I haven't seen the Barbie movie.
I just can't believe that there's not a woke message in it, but maybe there's not.
Maybe it's just fun.
Then Oppenheimer was number two.
Yep.
And that was probably if
it was the same length, it might have, because it wasn't very far behind, was it?
It's
155 million to 80.5 million.
So it was a ways, like 70 million behind.
But far less, less theaters, and it's an hour longer.
So you get a lot less show.
Yeah, yeah.
It's hard.
Sound of Freedom, still third.
Is that amazing?
Made 20 million for the weekend.
It's up to
almost 125 million since it came out.
That's unbelievable.
And what's great about that is
Disney sat on this movie for five years refusing to release it.
Now, their last seven movies that they did, they've lost almost a billion dollars.
Yeah.
I saw this movie five years ago when it was just getting the final color adjustment and was about to be locked.
And
it was supposed to be released right after that.
And then the company that owned it, I can't remember, maybe Sony or somebody, they sold it or they merged with Disney.
And that was part of the package.
And they sat on it.
They didn't do anything.
And why?
It's clearly a very good movie.
You might hate hate Jim Caviesel if you're on the extreme left, but still there's nobody that saw this.
I think that this is, I think this is the pedophile agenda.
What you saw come out from Hollywood reporters and everybody else that, you know, this just, this isn't prostitute.
You know, a lot of these kids, you know,
they don't want to be taken off the streets.
They, you know, some kids are born to be prostitutes.
No.
That's the only reason I can think of why Disney would have sat on it, that there's just too many people there that are offended by Jim Caviesel
and
think that this is not a real issue.
And there's two Disney projects that are in the top 10.
Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny, which is at $159 million so far.
It cost $400 million to make and promote.
$400 million.
That's going to be one of the biggest money losers of all time.
And then you have Elemental, which cost the budget alone was $200 million.
Then you add another $50 to $100 million on top of that.
And it's only brought in $137 million.
So they are losing money hand over fist.
It just shows their agenda is the most important thing to them.
They don't care.
And that Kviezel movie
that cost what?
$14?
$17 million to make?
$14 million.
Yeah.
I mean.
Yeah, amazing.
I mean, I helped raise the money.
We were out, you know, kicking cans and going to rich people's houses.
And then,
I mean, I probably shouldn't admit to this, but then holding them by their ankles and shaking all the coins out of their pockets.
So that was,
and every single dime of that was, you know, really used well.
Yeah.
And look at it.
Look at it.
I can't believe that it is beating Mission Impossible.
Yeah, it's pretty amazing.
Mission Impossible,
it's beating it.
It beat it over the weekend.
And, I mean, I think it's a week ahead of Mission Impossible, but its overall take is higher at $125 million to 118 million.
It's astounding.
That just doesn't happen.
What is really amazing is look at the appetite right now.
Barbie, I can't comment on it.
I'm just going to say it's just disappear fun.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Oppenheimer, the truth on history.
Then the truth on good people going in and doing things.
And then Mission Impossible, the truth on what's coming with computers.
I'm out here at the ranch, been shooting.
I've been using Mantis X now for, I don't know, about a year.
I think I started telling you about it here a few months ago.
I don't like using my ammunition.
It is so expensive.
And you practice at the gun range, you've got to, so you can be good, good shot if you need to be a good shot.
So I haven't shot probably with live ammo in a year and a half or two years.
And I loaded up my SIG and I have more bullets than anyone would ever need.
I think there's 21 or 19.
Anyway, first time I've had a gun and live fired at targets in at least a year and a half, and I only missed two.
That's a pretty good shot.
And I owe it to Mantis X, high-tech, easy-to-use system, wildly used now by the military.
It will improve your shooting because it actually doesn't just tell you where you hit on the target, it shows you
why you're missing.
It shows you how you're squeezing the trigger, how you're pulling the gun down or side to side.
Start improving today.
Get a Mantis X, MantisX.com.
That's mantisx.com.
You got no room to compromise.
We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.
Stand up, stand, and hold the light.
It's a new day, I'm time to rise.
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is
the Glenn Beck program.
Hello, America.
I'm going to reintroduce you to one of the, I think, most important men in the country.
A guy who has done more to save our country than
many people that I could list.
He is, I think, a real hero.
He's got a new book out, America's Major Institutions.
They're run by the left.
He has written the book, America's Cultural Revolution.
Very important to read and listen to what he has to say here.
Can it be stopped?
Mr.
Christopher Ruffo joins us in 60 seconds.
Sponsor of this half hour is Gold Line.
Historically, the value of gold and interest rates have had an inverse relationship.
When interest rates go up, price of gold goes down and vice versa.
The Fed hiking these rates 10 consecutive times in the past year, gold should have gone down, but it hasn't.
Why?
Why is this doing the most aggressive rate hike since the 1980s?
It's because central banks are buying up all the gold they can get a hold of all over the world, and that's propping up demand and keeping the price high.
That, and when the Fed stops raising rates or pivots and cuts rates, it stands to reason if gold prices have held up under extreme pressure like this, when that pressure eases, gold still will have plenty of room to run because the dollar is going down.

Christopher, how are you, sir?
Doing very well.
How are you?
I'm so happy for your success and so happy for all of the things you've done.
So few people have done as much as you have.
So congratulations and thank you.
It's my pleasure.
Thanks for having me on.
You bet.
America's Cultural Revolution.
Tell me what
your push is here
in the book.
Absolutely.
America's Cultural Revolution.
It's my new book.
It opened as the number one bestseller on Amazon last week, and I think it's doing battle with your new book on the bestseller charts currently.
But the basic story is this.
It traces the 50-year history of the radical left's long march to the institutions, beginning in the Marxist-Leninist revolutionary movements of the late 1960s, going through academia, going through the K-12 school system, weaving its way into the DEI departments and major corporations, and finally coming to full fruition in that turbulent summer of George Floyd in 2020, when I think many Americans finally understood that the left had really seized all of those cultural institutions that matter.
I explain exactly where it comes from, exactly how the ideology works, and most importantly, exactly how it's attained power so that conservatives can start understanding how to formulate a solution.
So can you give me those three points in the time that we have, kind of summarize?
Yeah, absolutely.
And the book is divided into the theory of revolution, the theory of race, and how that is used to gain power, education, so pedagogy, meaning how kids are taught.
And so this this is something that the left has thought very deeply about.
They have thousands of activists fanned out across the country trying to figure out how to make your kids think in the same ways that they do.
And then finally, the last section of the book is about power.
So a lot of conservatives feel that we can simply win the intellectual debate, that politics is an Oxford debating society.
And if you have the better points, you have the better arguments, you have the better facts, you win.
But I show that that's actually not always true.
I wish it were true, but in the real world, the left attains power in many cases, no matter how bad their ideas are.
So I outline exactly what they do, how their political practice works.
And I think that this is really new territory for a lot of conservatives, even very literate conservatives who love to read about the history of ideas.
This is about how ideas gain power.
And that's what I try to do in the book.
So how do, what is it, the main thing that you think conservatives don't understand about
defeating this or dealing with this power?
I think the main thing conservatives don't understand is that institutional power requires the governance of institutions.
And institutions are not governed by the laws in the books, the policies in the training manual.
All those are important.
You actually have to have your people staffing those institutions.
And so if you look at K-12 schools, for example, the radical left, I mean, really truly the neo-Marxist left, controls all of the graduate schools of education that train our K-12 teachers.
They're teaching Paulo Ferrers, Marxist theory.
They're teaching critical race theory.
And conservatives, if they wanted to have an influence to the same degree on K-12 education, would actually have to get conservative graduate school students, conservative professors, conservative administrators.
And it seems that conservatives have been content to occupy themselves with their own family, their own churches, their own businesses, perhaps, but they've ceded the active governance of cultural institutions to people who hate them.
And all of a sudden, they're waking up and thinking, wait a minute, we have to either recapture these institutions or we have to build alternatives.
And my argument at the end of the book is, of course, we have to do some of both.
So, Christopher, you know, when we were hit by
al-Qaeda, the country was asking, what do they hate us?
Why do they hate us so much?
And people say, well, because of our freedom.
I didn't think that was it.
I think it's because we engaged in some really dark stuff all around the world, and we are not who we say we are many times, especially in the Middle East.
But why do these people hate us so much?
You know, I think that in the immediate term,
they view the average conservative family or conservative citizen as an impediment to their utopia.
And so what I found so fascinating in the book is that all of these revolutionary figures from the 60s who've really laid out
the groundwork for what we see today were genuine believers in the utopia.
They had an idealistic temperament in most cases.
But in all cases, it grew sour.
They grew disillusioned.
They grew angry.
They grew resentful.
And so you can see this emotional arc.
And I think that's where really the modern left begins.
It's a group of people who oftentimes are very smart, they're very idealistic, but they're very frustrated at what they see around them.
And it turns into a kind of resentment towards people who are viewed as either successful, but also people who are viewed simply as average, middle class, content with their lives, occupied with their local communities.
These are barriers to their revolution.
And so
they want to,
first and foremost, change the system of government to take power over them, but also even take power over their kids by changing how kids learn and really
fomenting revolt of the child against the parent.
And that's what we see as the key symbol throughout this revolution.
I mean, this is truly a revolt of children against their parents, symbolically, archetypally, and then also in many cases, quite literally.
If you were sitting in a map room
and
you came in and we were losing the war and I'm Churchill and I was like, cross.
What do we do?
What would be your plan of attack?
What do we need to do and what are the odds that it works at this point?
I think that there are really a few key strategies that I would recommend.
First, I would recommend reforming American civil rights law, which is often used to force these left-wing ideologies well beyond the bounds of colorblind equality.
And so I would go in, I would have executive orders lined up, legislation, trying to get some cases before the Supreme Court to restrain the civil rights bureaucracy so that it can't force diversity trainings and CRT trainings, but actually just ensures that Americans are treated equally.
Second, I would get, as we've done now in seven states, universal school choice so that parents can take their taxpayer dollars out of the public school system and into any other school of their choice.
That's going to shift
billions of dollars in resources resources towards creating alternative schools, religious schools, private schools, other kinds of schools, homeschools, where conservatives can start to have institutions that reflect their values, they can invest.
And then, third, I think we need strong action from state legislatures.
Governor DeSantis has started this in Florida, of retaking some of the administration in public universities.
And I have a personal goal, Glenn, of reforming the state of higher education policy to recruit 1,000 conservative professors in the next 10 years.
And I think even
1,000 academics that are aligned with us, that create materials and research and scholarship, that's going to be enough of a counterbalance at the beginning to reshape the dynamics within academia.
How are you going to get that through?
I mean, especially, I mean, just talk about school choice, universal school choice.
Even in Texas, they refuse that because the Republicans in many states that are wildly red,
they are still beholden to the teachers' unions.
And those teachers' unions are so powerful.
Well, there's a way to do it.
And I think Arizona Governor Doug Ducey,
who actually had the first universal school choice bill passed through his state legislature, the first one in the country, you know,
he told me something quite interesting.
He said, hey, we had the same problem in Arizona.
Rural Republicans were hesitant to do this.
They didn't want their Friday Night Lights football impacted.
So he made a deal where he essentially horse traded.
He said, Hey, look, we'll increase public school funding by a billion dollars.
You're going to get a ton of money from the legislature to invest in your public schools, your athletic programs, but in exchange, we want to give everyone a way out.
And now a billion dollars a year, approximately, has been taken by parents and then invested into school alternatives.
This is within just two years of this program.
And so
you have to go and do the old school backroom political, you know, cigars in the back room, horse trading.
And sometimes you have to write a big check to get those few Republicans that are beholden to the teachers' union, overwhelm them, sweeten the deal, do whatever it takes, because long term, this is more important than any short-term budgetary outlay.
So our institutions have been so overtaken by
the ESG culprits that
Budweiser doesn't seem to care at all that it's just destroyed itself.
Disney doesn't seem to care that it's destroyed itself.
And I think Disney is a, they're not really being forced from the outside.
They're gone from the soul.
But all of these
ESG companies now,
is there a way to turn that around?
I think there is.
I think if you look at ESG, you have to think of it as a kind of parallel civil rights bureaucracy that is organized by cartels and
kind of corporate cartels, right?
And so just like with the civil rights law in the United States, which
needs significant reforms.
And the answer is quite simple.
It's you have to get the people through their elected legislators creating general laws that govern the republic.
And so we need a revival in the legislative capacity and creativity and commitment.
And you can simply say in the United States, the law is that corporations that are chartered by the state, you know, you actually, the companies are chartered,
they have to be
prioritized, return on investment.
The goal of a capitalist economy is to maximize profits.
And then these specific facets facets of ESG-style investing are political ideology, political activism,
and it is restricted for
publicly traded companies.
If you want to have a small business and you want to have a communist bake shop and not charge anyone any money, that's fine.
But if you are a multinational company, you have pension funds investing in you, you're listed on the stock exchange,
I think legislators are well within their right to shut down policies, really kind of cartel-like policies like ESG.
Yes.
Christopher, what was the biggest thing since you started this whole thing?
What is the most shocking thing you found?
Something you're just still today, you're like, I can't believe this.
Yeah, I'll tell you something from the process of writing this book that still shocks me is I spent a lot of time digging into the archives and reading the revolutionary pamphlets and manifestos from the late 1960s, from the Black Panther Party, the Communist Party USA, the Black Liberation Army, the Weather Underground.
And these are documents that really haven't been read in many, many years.
And what I found that was so shocking was that all of the concepts, all of the phrases, even many of the arguments that I've been seeing the last couple of years in K through 12 school curricula in the kind of critical race theory world
resemble to a T the ideas, the concepts, even the exact phrases that I found in those revolutionary manifestos.
And so you have this immensely shocking
translation
from the fringe.
I mean, it's really from the fringes.
These were people who wanted to overthrow the government by force, and now their ideas are in your child's kindergarten classroom.
I mean, that to me is just a shocking demonstration of their own triumph.
I have many of the old professors from Chicago.
Their libraries, after they died, a friend of mine would go in and gather the libraries and sell some of the books and all of the radical stuff, including handwritten notes and papers inside of these books.
I probably have the largest library now of these kinds of radicals from the 60s and 70s.
You're more than welcome to peruse through it if it would ever help you, Christopher.
Oh, that'd be amazing.
I'd love to do it because, look, as you know, and as a collector of this, you have to understand what we're dealing with today you have to understand where it comes from i mean if you don't understand where it comes from you're operating blind and so the goal of the book is to do that is to show conservatives from conservative parents all the way to conservative policy makers
this is what you're up against these this is how they operate and this is how to defeat them
Christopher, I'd love to have you on again, maybe even a podcast, just to talk about your book, because we have so much to discuss and
and you have a lot to teach.

10 seconds, station ID.
I'm up here in the state of Idaho, where our Standing Rock Ranch is,
Republican Idaho lawmakers are urging the state's publicly funded libraries to cut ties with the Marxist-led American Library Association.
The Idaho Freedom Caucus, a group of 13 Republican
legislators who, by the way, I know them, I love them.
I wish there were more of them.
They issued a statement this week blasting the nation's largest library association for hiring a new president who describes herself as a Marxist lesbian.
Nothing wrong with you being a Marxist.
Nothing wrong with you being a lesbian.
But a Marxist lesbian
running the library may not necessarily be the librarian for this community or state.
I'm just saying.
Although we do have a Moscow, Idaho, oh you know if you know that
they are
They say Idaho's Commission for Libraries has to withdraw our oath of office and resulting duty to the Constitution forbids association with an organization led by a Marxist.
You know, I don't have a problem with everything being in the library.
Do you, Pat?
I think everything should be in the library.
Yeah.
Yeah.
However, you know, in the old days, we would put beads up in that special room and kids kids didn't go into it.
You know, I'm never for burning books or getting rid of any books.
I think I should be able to go to the library and look up anything that I want.
However, where it's placed, what section, just because it was written for kids, doesn't mean it's appropriate for kids.
And Marxist books should be available in the library.
But I want to make sure that also all the books that fight against Marxism and talk against Marxism are right side by side.
The Glenn Beck program.
So there's too much negativity right now.
Let me give you something positive.
Buying and selling a home is a hassle.
I know, I'm going to get possessive.
So if you're about to do either or
both, you might now feel like a huge mountain of responsibility is resting firmly on your shoulders.
Glenn, you said that it was going to be positive.
I am.

Sam Altman is trying to establish a world global ID
where everybody's iris is scanned.
Several of his
products lead to establishing universal basic income.
This is another step to that.
He's already called for government regulation of AI, and Congress is listening to him.
So hopefully we can all soon have our eyes scanned.
What could possibly go wrong with
that?
Pat, I read a story,
and I think it was about the women's soccer
league that was begging for tickets, sales.
Please do the right thing and buy tickets to our
women's World Cup.
Yeah, because it's a moral obligation that you attend these matches.
I don't know if you're aware of that.
You should be, obviously.
But please do.
I didn't get the update.
So when they said do the right thing, I was like, huh, really?
For me, the right thing is not to go.
Seriously?
Were you in Sunday school last weekend or yesterday?
Or at any time in the last 20 years where they talk about it half the time.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, sorry about that.
The problem is, they gave the women, I think, essentially the same deal as men, that they get $30,000 just for showing up.
So each participant gets $30,000.
So if they don't sell these tickets, they're going to be in trouble because they made this huge deal.
And this is what we talk about.
Who's fault is that?
Yeah,
there's no revenue in it.
There's at least not the men's side kind of revenue.
Do they have any former men on the team?
Do the right thing.
Think some get trans women.
Yeah, that's what they need.
Yeah, that's what they need.
Yeah, that is absolutely what they need.
But of course,
the U.S.
soccer team, the women, once again,
acted like they hate America.
Most of them didn't have their hand over the heart when the national anthem played.
They wouldn't sing the national anthem.
So they're getting a little flack.
It's just hard to root for them because they seem so anti-American, you know, and either they're kneeling or they're disrespecting and they're angry.
Yes, exactly.
No, thanks.
No, thanks.
I, you know, I live in a house with three women.
I, I, I, you know, I got enough angry women
that I don't understand that.
You know, so yeah.
Anyway, um, do you see that Miss, I think it's Miss Norway or Miss Norwegian or something.
Um Netherlands.
The trans.
Yeah, is a man.
Yeah.
Yeah, is a man.
Yep.
Uh, and then Miss Miss Italy Italy pageant has banned transgender contestants from taking part.
Quote, lately, beauty contests have been trying to make the news by also using strategies that I think are a bit absurd.
According to
Miss Italy official patron,
Miss Italia, on the other hand, will not jump on the glittery bandwagon of trans activism.
Since it was born, my competition has foreseen its regulation, the clarification, according to which one must be a woman from birth.
Probably because even then it was foreseen that beauty could undergo modifications or that women could undergo modifications or that men could become women.
So, no.
You have to be a woman from birth.
And I would say she was even being really lenient there because she said, or that men could become women.
No.
no, they can't.
No, they can't.
You know what's bad in this country when Europe is leading the way toward common sense?
I mean,
it always used to be, well, in Europe,
in Europe, they're much more enlightened.
In Europe, they're not Pollyanna.
In Europe.
Europe, I think, went so far left that now they're swinging the other way.
The pendulum is going back the other way, like we've talked about a million times.
And
we're just not quite there yet, I guess, in America.
Well,
let me give you this.
Let me give you this.
Woke researchers from Harvard
were upset.
They were upset.
They were doing some research on
STEM and
trans
surgery and stuff, and they were taking a survey.
And it was to assess the representation of transgender and gender non-conforming undergrads in science, technology, technology, engineering, and math fields.
What they found was a lot of people did not take that seriously.
The researchers would interview people.
The five woke researchers have written a paper now
arguing that the responses they receive are proof that fascist ideologies are living inside the house of engineering and computing science.
They asked 723 people, only 299 were considered valid.
50 or 15% were classified as malicious.
And they are claiming injury.
In fact, quote, the malicious words and slurs directed towards our research team had a profound impact on our morale and our mental health.
No.
No.
And time had to be taken off the project to heal from the traumatic harm.
Don't say that.
Don't say that.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no.
Gosh.
Oh.
So people were asked about their gender, and apparently many respondents identified as attack helicopters.
So,
you know, I was an Apache
attack helicopter, et cetera, et cetera.
And
they didn't like that.
Some of the responses, I identify as a gift card.
I am an Apache attack helicopter.
I am a cisgender lizard king.
I am a human being.
I'm an effing white male.
I'm a V-22 Osprey.
Did you just ask for my gender?
I'm an X-16 fighter jet.
I'm a pan-sexual attack helicopter.
I'm a non-cookie cutter cis furry dragon kin.
Don't judge me.
I'm a quasi-demi pony, bankai, released state queer copter with a hint
of something I can't say.
I am a lesbian and a homosexual upside-down frappuccino cake.
I'm just here to get the gift card.
So
there you go.
Yeah, it's nice to see that people are
showing the absurdity of this.
Yeah, a little bit done.
Yeah.
A little bit done, yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
So remember, the United States government and nobody has any intention of reducing your gas stoves or anything like that, except they did put all kinds of legislation in to reduce the use of gas stoves.
Now, the Biden administration is pushing a proposal to ban the sale of almost all portable gas generators, which some experts say would be disastrous for people who rely on generators.
The U.S.
Consumer Product Related or Safety Commission has proposed a policy that would remove all existing portable gas generators from the market.
The new rule restricts the amount of carbon monoxide that generators can emit by forcing these generators to switch off when they reach a certain level of emission.
So sorry, you're running your house to keep your kids warm.
Sorry, too much carbon monoxide.
Smaller gas generators would have to cut carbon monoxide emissions by 50%.
Larger generators need to cut emissions by 95%.
None of the current models would be in compliance with the new law.
But don't worry about it.
Don't worry about it.
It's only a gas generator and your gas stove.
Oh, and a new proposal for water heater efficiency standards.
Friday, he released this:
the Department of Energy claims the new water heater standards will curb carbon dioxide emissions to save Americans billions in the long term.
The proposed rules are the latest advancement of the Biden administration's wider push to regulate household appliances in pursuit of climate change.
Is anybody excited about this so far?
Because I think this is going really well.
And then there was this.
President Joe Biden announced that he has completed his final certification of the files to be released regarding the John F.
Kennedy assassination.
The National Archives has already released thousands of confidential documents related to the November 1963 assassination.
The documents include information from the CIA, FBI, State Department agencies, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
One of the newly released documents revealed revealed the name of the CIA official who intercepted Oswald's mail in the month before JFK's killing.
It turns out that this man, Efron, had a UFO encounter in 1955 while he was on a train journey through the Soviet Union with Senator Richard Russell.
They saw what a CIA report called two flying saucers, though skeptics later argued that they were Soviet aircraft.
Russell was among the Warren Commission members who interviewed Marina Oswald, his wife, in 1964.
Conspiracy theorists now see a connection between Efron and the Kennedy assassination and wonder if he knew more than he let on.
They also hope a bipartisan bill to declassify UFO records will reveal more about the government's knowledge and involvement with UFOs.
Quote, people say there's nothing significant in these files.
Bingo, here's the guy who was reading Oswald's mail.
They failed to share that and his experience with UFOs.
You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to think it's suspicious.
I actually think you do.
Just a little bit.
Just a, you know, just a healthy you know dose of
yeah i think you you you do have to be i am convinced more than ever that all of this ufo talk
is done by the government you know chuck grassley is leading this i want the ufos out i want all the information not chuck grassley uh chuck schumer Chuck Schumer is saying that.
Since when did Chuck Schumer care about this?
Never.
Or all the people in New York going, you know, I got to tell you, our city's burning down to the ground, the state's a total mess.
But gosh, Chuck, could you please pay attention to that UFO thing?
Yeah, come on.
Distraction.
It's a distraction.
Watch what the other hand is doing.
Or don't watch what the other hand's doing.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, all you have to do is distraction against what?
Oh, I don't know.
Taking out the water heater in your home,
the gas-powered generators,
the gas
any of the wokeness stuff.
I mean, how bad the economy is.
It goes on and on and on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How bad the war is.
How bad the war is.
And how close we're getting.
All right.
Back in just a minute.
First, may I just share this message?
It's from Life Lock.
Sure.
Sure.
I like it when somebody comes in and takes all of my information and then uses it online and discredits me, my family, makes it so I can't get alone.
I mean, sure, sometimes it's the ESG police, but sometimes it's not the police at all.
And nobody can stop all of it.
So, I'm with Bill Gates.
We just kill all the mosquitoes.
And if we kill all the mosquitoes, eventually everything dies because you just can't do that.
But the other option is life lock.
Your security from people who want to rob you is really important.
And nobody, nobody understands this more than the people at Life Lock.
It's also really important to realize there are measures you can take to keep
from it happening to you.
And it doesn't take a ton of money and a hassle.
And it will once, oh, the mosquitoes didn't work and now all of your information is stolen.
Mm-hmm.
I get it.
No one can prevent all identity theft, monitor all transactions, but the best in the business, in my opinion, is Life Lock by Norton.

Oh my goodness.
So there is a 28-page paper out there.
The Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies
has printed it.
It is,
oh,
it's an interview, a questionnaire about transgender undergraduate engineering and
computer science student experiences.
And I gave you some of the responses a minute ago, but when asked about their disabilities, these Harvard scientists,
supposedly,
they make these calls to all these students.
And when they were asked about
race, the responses were, I'm an ethnic gift card.
My skin color is not important.
I'm an Afro-Klingon.
I'm an AH-64 Apache.
I'm a Republican.
Come on, man.
These questions are stupid.
I'm a Swedish Muslim, Native American Elizabeth Warren.
I'm a cracker.
I'm a colored native mix.
I was born white, but I spent a lot of time in the sun, so I identify as a light-skinned black male.
Actually, my skin is blue.
I think I might be a smurf.
When asked if they had any disabilities, I don't have enough gift cards.
My country is run by communists.
I love that one.
Yeah, my disability, being 2.86 white, pedophilia, gender dysphoria, thinking
I'm not a man.
Being trans.
Yeah.
Disability, I'm a tranny.
I'm mentally retarded.
I have hands where my feet are and my feet are where my hands are.
Disability, like all transgenders, my disability is the inability to come to terms with biological reality.
Madness, essentially.
Wow.
Wow.
These are undergraduates in the STEM program in colleges today.
This is not going to go well.
People are really starting to get sick of all of it.
and apparently unafraid to speak out.
We will report again in a couple of weeks after we see the medical results of all of the scientists that had to put up with these kinds of remarks on the phone.
They were severely, severely damaged, and they're in mental health institutions now just for some rest.
