We've heard the phrase, put your money where your mouth is, and it's time to do that.
It's time to, you know, stop talking about how unfair the Chinese government has been when it comes to trade and send them a message with our wallets.
Send a message to the American companies that it is time to bring manufacturing back to the U.S.
We have to do certain things.
And, you know, there's a great op-ed on from Jonathan Tourley today, and he says something that people need to understand.
You need to step up now or lose your nation.
So I say step up now.
One thing you can do if you're looking for clothes and they're really cool clothes.
They're great clothes.
I hate to say cool because now it's really uncool because I'm not cool.
Anyway, American Giant.
My wife likes them.

What you're about to hear
is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Hello, America.
I want to get right to it because we have Jim Jordan from an amazing, amazing testimony yesterday from Whistleblowers.
He's joining us in 60 seconds.
There is nothing I love better than paving a way for, you know, more service and paving the way so you get the best service out there.
All you have to do is just now look for people who actually agree with you.
And I don't mean agree with you on everything.
Just don't despise you how's that look for a company that doesn't hate your living guts well there is one mobile company that is like that it is patriot mobile they're the america's only christian conservative wireless provider and they are uh the highway to great service great prices you're going to save a lot of money and you're not going to fund uh woke propaganda or you know abortions.
You know, if you're in Verizon, did you know they take a lot of money money and donate it to Planned Parenthood every year?
Yeah.
Sorry, Verizon.
Can you hear me now?
PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or 878 Patriot.
878 Patriot, patriotmobile.com slash Beck.
Switch now.
Jim Jordan is joining us now
from Washington, D.C.
Hello, Jim.
How are you, sir?
I'm fine, Glenn.
How are you doing today?
I'm actually kind of positive today.
I think you are doing a great job and a great service.
I think there are several of you now in Congress that I actually trust and believe you're actually going to do something.
So thank you for that.
Thank you.
Thanks for all you've been doing to get the word out to the American people.
So
Jim, tell me,
this was incredible yesterday.
First of all, you gave your opening
dialogue on
a monologue on what you were going to see.
And then the democrats came out and they said what you're going to see are lies half-truths and fantasies i've never seen anything like that especially when you are presenting whistleblowers yeah and these guys are good men who love this country and value the constitution the first amendment uh and but for guys like them and these guys and others like them we wouldn't know about what they did with parents at school board meetings we wouldn't know about what they're doing to pro-lifers praying at clinics we wouldn't know about that, you know, Catholics attending Mass that the Richmond Field Office viewed them as radical, traditional, Catholic extreme.
I mean, we wouldn't know about those things but for guys like this.
And the fact that they were willing to come forward shows just what good people they are and their commitment to the Constitution and to the oath they took.
But then what they've faced, the retaliation.
I mean, they literally tried to crush these guys, particularly Mr.
O'Boyle and Mr.
Frank.
It is very sad.
Yeah, it's so sad, but
for them, we wouldn't know the things we know and wouldn't
be in a position to make the case for
going after these agencies in the appropriations process, which is what we have to do.
So I did a special last night on the reckoning of the Biden crime family, and
one of our listeners wrote in and wanted me to ask you today, is there a way to help these whistleblowers?
I'm concerned for them and their families.
Yeah, you can, they have,
they can receive like,
it's it's not GoFundMe, but there's ways that
I should have that information.
Okay, I'll get it from your office and we'll share it.
Yeah, we will try to get there.
So
what is the next step here?
Because we had,
you know, we had the
dossier come out.
Yeah, no, not the steel dossier, but the report that Keith was doing.
Yeah, the Durham report.
Thank you.
We had the Durham report come out, and the media is blind.
And to me, this shows how deeply in trouble this nation is.
You have intelligence, CIA,
FBI, justice, the White House, Congress, all of it dirty, like majorly dirty.
Well,
I don't think it's funny how the good Lord works because the same week we get the Durham report, we just happen to have scheduled this hearing where we have these whistleblowers coming forward.
So understand the Durham report.
He said as clearly and as straightforward straightforward as you could say that the FBI, I think the best line was the FBI failed in its fundamental mission of fidelity to the law.
Correct.
They didn't follow the law.
There was no evidence, no probable cause, no predicate whatsoever to launch this investigation.
They did it anyway.
They did it based on a fake document, a document they knew was false, the dossier they knew was false at the time.
They used it to go to the court to get the warrant to spy on a presidential campaign.
That's terrible.
They put the country through all three years of craziness.
That's terrible.
But worse than that is what's happening today, because today it's not just just limited to a presidential campaign.
It's the American people.
And it's what I just said.
If you're a pro-life Catholic, they view you as radical.
I mean, if you're a parent speaking up for your kid, they view you as a terrorist.
I mean, it's like, you got to be kidding me.
So that's what's, but I just feel, I just found it interesting that those two big pieces of information came out in the same week, just underscoring how, in your words, Glenn, how dire the situation, how real the situation actually is.
So Jonathan Turley had an op-ed out.
I just read it this morning, morning, how Congress could have the final say on the Russian collusion scandal.
In the Durham report, it shows that people
like,
what's his name, Elias for the
DNC, that he would not participate, wouldn't talk,
didn't give anything.
And Turley is saying, why don't you start putting the screws to these guys and offer immunity?
Now, I don't think there's a chance that Mark Elias is going to turn on anybody,
but it's worth a try, isn't it?
Well, that's interesting.
You know, he is Mr.
Democrat Elias.
I mean, he's the guy.
I know.
He's the man in that whole area.
So I don't know.
But that's an interesting strategy.
I haven't read Turley's teeth.
I really respect Professor Turley, and I'll read that.
I'll read that.
But I don't know.
I don't know.
I'll have to give that some thought some thought.
But I do think we should be in in our investigative work, our oversight work, we should be focused on getting every single fact and getting that information, the truth, to the American people.
Because if you don't have all the truth on the table and do our constitutional duty of oversight, then you're not in a position to make the case, which we're going to have to make, which we have to do when it comes to appropriating money.
We're going to have to change how that's done.
We're going to have to limit funds.
We're going to have to say you can't use funds for certain things.
We're going to have to tell the FBI, ain't no way you're going to get a new headquarters worth, I forget how many hundred millions of dollars.
Like, are you kidding me?
So, there's
those kind of things, but you make the case when you show what's been going on.
So,
when you're going through all of this,
you're not getting the documents.
I mean,
they're not.
Christopher Wray the other day was just unbelievable to watch.
Well, I can't talk about that document.
What do you mean you sent a letter to us?
We asked for the document.
You're not getting
anyone in Congress getting the documents that you're demanding, you have oversight, and these things seem to feel like they have oversight over you.
Yeah.
So
two quick points.
One, you're exactly right.
When the founders put this great nation together, three separate and equal branches of government, if there was one branch that was supposed to be more equal than the others, it was supposed to be the legislative branch, and in particular, the House of Representatives, because that's the body closest to the American people.
Every two years, American people get a chance to throw us out.
That is a good thing.
That is a healthy thing.
That's why the founders said that's the body where all the taxing and spending bills have to originate.
So we're supposed to be able to tell the executive branch, hey, we need information to do our job when it comes to legislating and appropriating.
So give us the darn information.
Second, when we've had these struggles, sometimes you go to court.
We went to court for a witness we wanted to get in the whole Alvin Bragg crazy situation up in New York, and the court ruled in our favor.
And we had Mr.
Pomerance in for a deposition just last week so sometimes you have to go to the courts to get that to get what you need so we're going to continue to press whether it's subpoenas what what have you to for documents or for people to come in for an interview we're going to continue to press there but we have to in the end the only thing that gets people's attention the only thing that gets their attention is the money you got to go after the money it's just it's that simple and we're going to have to do that here in the next couple months as we go through appropriating for the uh that for these agencies in the federal government well I mean, you can do that even if they don't pass a budget.
Does Congress have control of the purse string still?
We sure do, but it's going to be a fight with the Senate.
It's going to be a fight with the White House.
But you know what?
If you've got an FBI who's retaliating against good guys like Garrett O'Boy, Marcus Allen, and Steve Friend, I think it's worth the fight.
Yeah, and I think you would have the American
people squarely behind you.
I think Congress with
the people like me, I don't really, really, I don't care for the Republican Party,
but they're better than the Democrats, but I don't want to give a dime.
I'd give a dime directly to a candidate, but not to the Republican Party.
People like me are seeing, I think, are starting to see, wait a minute, wait a minute, something is different.
And there's just a few of you guys now that are standing up.
And I have to say,
I'm shocked at McCarthy.
I did not think he would have the spine.
I'd like to see that continue, but he seems to be doing a lot of good things, and his poll numbers are going up.
Yeah, no, he's,
you know, Glenn, I talk about this all the time, but we make this job too complicated.
What did you tell the people you were going to do when you put your name on the ballot and ran for the job?
You went up.
If you get elected, if they put you in the job, go do what you said.
And Kevin McCarthy is doing that.
I think our team is doing that.
And the most important thing is, as you just said, we got to continue to do that.
We got to continue to do that because that's our mission.
Do what you told the American people you were going to do.
Okay, so there's one thing that concerns me on the budget, and that is the expanded Capitol Police role.
Now, everything I've understood from the Capitol Police from the last administration was this is Nancy Pelosi's police force.
So whoever is in charge of the House, that's their police force.
They have expanded way beyond the Capitol.
They have new offices now in Florida, uh in california they are now turning into an intelligence um uh force
pentagon has given them things to collect uh intelligence on americans this is way beyond their scope and i don't know about you but i don't trust the uh
any other police force with intelligence capabilities no more no more
yeah
look that the the rank and file officers are great guys.
I talk to them all the time coming in and out of different buildings.
They're wonderful guys, do the Lord's work like
good local police officers do the Lord's work.
But you're right,
we don't need these offices around the country.
We don't need this expanded surveillance
capabilities and activity.
So I agree with you there.
I think that's
where the country is.
And
I would have to check with the speaker's office, but I don't know that Speaker McCarthy is going along with that.
Well, I will tell you.
I will tell you in the Republicans' annual appropriations bill,
they have an increase of $46.3 million more than last year, which already last year was a 22%
increase.
That's got to stop.
Got to stop.
Yeah,
we'll take a look at
that too.
Do we finally have the Congress and the Republicans that will stand and not blink on the budget?
I think so.
I really do.
Because, you know, the spending has gone up so dramatically.
I mean, we don't have to get into all the numbers, but just
we're set to run a deficit of a trillion and a half, I mean, $1.5 trillion
this year.
Like, what?
I mean, so it is so out of whack.
We have to spend less than we spent before.
And if we can do that, take it back to lower levels.
That'd be the first time in my time in Congress, maybe the first time in modern history where the next Congress didn't spend more than
the previous one.
If we can actually reduce spending and begin to show the country and the economy and the world that, look, okay, they're at least going to kind of rein this in and get a handle on it and begin to pay back some of this debt, get to balance at some point.
If we can do that, then we'll be fine.
But if we just keep the crazy stuff up that the Biden administration is doing,
I worry about the dollar staying as the reserve currency, which is critical for our country and a host of other things if we continue on this path.
But I think we're going to actually get to where we're spending less after the crazy increases we've seen in the Biden administration.
So, one last thing.
The church committee did the Lord's work, if you will,
and tried to rein things back in, and it's gotten worse again than it was back then.
Do you think that this,
I don't know, deep state, whatever you want to call it,
the people that have no fidelity to the law or to the Constitution, can we save the Justice Department, the FBI, the intelligence community, or is it too far gone?
How do you see this working?
Here's the key measure I think this Congress settled that will tell us if we can get things back in the right direction or not.
And that's the FISA renewal.
The 702 program of FISA is up for renewal.
If that gets passed and we just keep doing the same old thing, because understand the church commission brought a lot of good facts to light, but the church commission gave us the FISA court and the FISA process.
That's a problem.
That has to change.
That's up for reauthorization this year.
If we fundamentally change that,
if we get rid of this ability for them to query that database that they get where the 3.4 million Americans had their information queried, information that was picked up when they were surveilling some foreigner, but they talked to some American and then they got the American in the debt.
That's the kind of stuff.
If we don't change that, then I'm very worried.
But I think we're going to change it.
I think yesterday's hearing helped show that when you have the FBI engaged in some of the things you are,
that will be a critical test.
And then, of course, as I've said now a couple times, what happens during the appropriations and the spending process.
The power of the purse is important.
That's the power that resides in the Congress and specifically in the House.
We need to make sure we use it.
I will tell you, I found out just the other day that this program now has a bigger footprint than Fox News does, which blew me away when somebody gave that stat to me.
This is good work.
This is the testimony
No, no, no.
What's happening is all the mainstream media is dying and shows like mine and others are all growing.
I don't know if we could turn this corner five, even five or six years ago.
But I think if you guys just keep going,
we're going to turn a corner.
We're going to turn a corner because the mainstream media doesn't have the lock that they used to have.
Well said.
And praise the Lord for that.
And then the second thing I always say is the American people are smart people.
They have common sense, and they hear common sense, and they hear good information from you and a bunch of other folks like you.
That makes a huge difference.
So thank you for what you're doing.
Likewise, stay the course.
Thanks.
All right.
Take care, brother.
You bet.
Bye-bye.
Jim Jordan.
Grace lives in Texas.
Our commercial is Relief Factor, and for decades, she's dealt with pain in her lower back and legs.
When you live like that for a while, you can get to the point where you just are like, this is what my life is going to be like.
Thankfully, Grace isn't that type.
Over the years, she's tried a whole bunch of different things to make her pain go away, but nothing worked.
Then she heard me talking about relief factor on this program, and she was skeptical.
I get it.
So was I, Grace.
She decided to give it a try.
Didn't have anything else to lose.
Well, after two weeks of taking it, her co-workers began telling her something was different.
Turns out, when she isn't in pain, it's pretty noticeable.
Grace got her life back.
The three-week quick start, 1995, trial pack.
Not a drug developed by doctors, so it's not going to whack you out.
And hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on to order more month after month.
Go to relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com, or call 800 for relief.
800, the number for relief, relieffactor.com.
Feel the difference.
10 seconds, station ID.
So they are going to hammer and hammer and hammer
because this is
the genie is getting out of the bottle, and
more and more Americans are waking up and seeing what's going on.
It is incumbent upon us to share everything that happens in in these committees.
For instance, I don't know if you saw the
whistleblowers yesterday.
I have to play one cut from it.
I have to play a cut because I think it's just fantastic.
Here is the Democrat.
And the Democrat, one of the Democrats
wanted to point out some tweets from these whistleblowers.
Listen to this.
This is Linda Sanchez from California.
Thank you.
Mr.
Allen, have you ever used Twitter, yes or no?
I have utilized Twitter, yes.
Okay, and is your account at Marcus A970-50645?
That is absolutely not my account.
Okay, that's not your account.
Well, on December 5th, 2022, an account under the name Marcus Allen retweeted a tweet that said, quote,
you haven't let me finish the question, sir.
You haven't let me finish the question.
And the time is mine.
On December 5th, 2022, an account under the name of Marcus Allen retweeted a tweet that said, quote, Nancy Pelosi staged January 6th.
Retweet if you agree, end quote.
Do you agree with that statement?
Yes or no?
That is, I don't, no, ma'am.
That's not my account at all.
I have to say that.
I'm asking whether you agree with that statement.
Yes or no?
Can you please rephrase the statement?
Yeah,
do you think the gentlelady has expired?
Staged January 6th.
I just want him to answer.
He'll answer.
Yeah, he'll answer.
I'm just telling you your time's up.
Do you believe that Nancy Pelosi?
Do you agree with the statement that this person tweeted?
That Nancy Pelosi staged January 6th?
Yes or no?
No.
Thank you.
Oh, my massive failure.
Is your account Jim Bob 1031978?
No.
Well,
that account said something.
And I thought for a long time it was you.
Until this very second, I thought it was you.
But I'm gonna just keep going and tell you it's my time.
You know, so it looks like I planned it.
You know, the amazing part about that video clip is there's not at one moment a drop in her confidence level.
No.
Like she is as sure at the beginning of that when she thinks it's his account.
Yep.
To the end when she knows it's not his account.
She doesn't change at all because the truth doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
All right.
Back in just a second.
Pat Gray is going to join us.
I've got some amazing stuff to share with you.
Coming up.
The Glenn Beck program.
When you go to the gun range,
you mean business.
It's fun blowing holes into paper targets, but you're trying to get better.
But with the cost of ammunition these days, pretty much every shot is like, well,
there's a trip to McDonald's.
It is, it's way expensive.
And then trying to get somebody to help train you is also expensive.
Here's something that you don't even have to leave the house if you want to, if you don't want to.
You can dry fire practice on any gun.
You can also go and do live fire with this.
It's Mantis X.
This is how many of the Marines are being trained now.
The Marines in California use this Mantis X.
And it is
something that was developed, wow, for you, but now used by the military.
So it's a weapon of war.
It is an app,
and every time you fire, it tells you, you know, down and to the left or whatever you're doing and gives you the instruction on how to change that.
94% of the people use it.
Improve in 20 minutes.
MantisX.com.
Go there now, mantisx.com.
And head over to Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.
Get access to the special from last night.
Use the code FedUP and save 30 bucks.
Thank you.
Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
Mr.
Pat Gray is joining us now.
Hello, Pat.
Hello, Glenn.
So last night I did a special called The Reckoning.
And it is
an approach to make sure that the Biden crime family pays for their crimes.
And I outlined it all last night.
I'm going to go over it at the top of the hour.
You can go to
the reckoningguide.com, or is it reckoningguide.com,
and get the entire guide.
It's 25 pages long.
It outlines all of the crimes, 170 crimes he has committed, Hunter Biden, and it goes state by state, shows you what the law is, what the code is,
who was the decision maker in saying, yeah, we're not going to prosecute that,
gives you the Attorney General's website, phone number, gives the
state
attorney,
sorry, the U.S.
attorney in each state.
But I think you need to go to local prosecutors and call them and say,
who's going to stand up for the law?
Who is going to stand up for the law?
All you need is one prosecutor in one state that starts to dig in and take them down, and it will snowball.
So I'll tell you more about that coming up.
Hello, Pat.
How are you?
Good.
Perfect.
Really?
You know,
in almost every way?
Yeah, almost.
Yeah, that is, that's, that's fantastic.
What's the big story on the Pat Gray program?
Well,
Joe Biden
has some articles of impeachment now.
Anything going to come of that?
I'm guessing not.
Yeah, no?
Well, not because the Senate won't do it.
No, they won't.
I mean, he will not be convicted, obviously, but will he be impeached?
I think he could be.
I think it's fascinating.
I'm not sure they went with the right thing because just not doing your job well is not is not really a reason.
That was the focus of impeachment.
Yeah,
it was the border.
Well, that's which, you know, I mean, could you say
it's
dereliction of duty, maybe?
I guess, but that's not a high crime and misdemeanor, is it?
Dereliction of duty?
You're just not doing your job well.
You're not doing your job, and you're lying to the American people.
Yeah, there's that.
Yeah, there's that.
Yeah.
I mean, but there's so many things you could impeach him on right now.
Yeah.
So what do you think, Pat?
Is that the right thing to do?
Like, I talk to people a lot who are as frustrated with the Republican Party generally as we are.
And they say, like, you know, hey, like, how come they won't impeach this guy?
And I, you know, they probably could find something, right, to impeach him on.
He's done a lot of really bad things, and they have control of the public.
How about the right one?
Yeah.
But it's only, but even if you, let's say you have the right one, let's say more evidence comes out and it's really clear to the American people even that, you know, Biden should be impeached.
What happens at the end of that process, right?
You impeach him in the House, it goes to the Senate, they reject it because the Democrats are there.
The chances of him getting convicted are basically zero, right?
Yes.
Basically zero.
Even if Republicans had the majority, they wouldn't get to the votes needed to impeach him.
Right.
So
then it just becomes a political decision.
Yeah,
I think it's much better to go the legal route.
I mean, and if the FBI won't do it, that's why we need the local people to do it.
By the way, if the FBI investigates, it'll most likely be tried in Washington, and you know how that's going to come out.
You need a jury that isn't tainted in New York, California, or Washington, D.C.
Just, I'll take six Democrats and six Republicans
and make sure that it's a jury that understands.
And I think if you start putting them under the gun on,
you know, warrants for arrest for Hunter Biden, I think you got a whole new ball game.
A whole new ballgame.
Because that helps you
with the other alternative impeachment process, which is voting him out of office.
Yeah.
That's the idea of what you're saying.
I mean, all that has to happen is
if you start to get traction on arrest warrants for
Hunter Biden, and then they say, well, we won't extradite him to this state.
Well, now you've got another problem.
But you also are telling the story about what what really happened.
I don't think half the country understands what really happened.
I laid out his
money laundering scheme that we've covered over the years, two of them.
We just found a new one last week, and it's even worse.
I mean, it's just, it's crazy.
They keep doing the same thing over and over and over again.
Yeah.
And the other problem is the FBI.
I mean,
the whistleblower
situation that we heard about yesterday is unbelievable.
And how those guys are saying that you're going to get crushed by this government.
At the end of the whistleblower hearing yesterday,
the one FBI agent, whistleblower, O'Boyle, I think his name is, talked about how he would recommend to a friend not to come forward.
Is that the clip we have, Sarah?
Play that.
Corruption, weaponization, any kind of misconduct that exists with the American people.
It doesn't solve it.
But the FBI will crush you.
This government will crush you and your family if you try to expose the truth about things that they are doing that are wrong.
And we are all examples of that.
I can't think of a more sobering way to end a hearing.
I yield back.
Gosh.
What do you do about that?
The FBI's got to be cleaned out.
Yeah, it does.
But we just had Jim Jordan on, and I believe him that they will start to
tighten the purse strings.
And Jonathan Turley said, start to not only tighten the purse strings, but start just
bringing these people under subpoena.
And, you know, if you get some low-level guys that will talk and then start weeding it out.
And I think that absolutely can be done.
By the way, you know, I don't know if the man should be impeached because he has brought us Pete Buddha Judge.
Now, I don't know if you've seen this from Wired,
but they did an interview with
Pete Buddha Judge, okay?
And I just, let me just,
I'm just going to, can you send some like serious music here, Sarah?
Do you have anything for?
Yeah, there we go.
So this is what they wrote.
The curious mind of Pete Buddha Judge holds much of its functuality in reserve, even as he discusses railroads and airlines, down to the pointless data that his current stock in trade, the U.S.
Secretary of Transportation, comes off like a Mensa black card holder.
Oh my god, stop.
First of all, that's not the right music.
Mensa black card holder.
Yeah, you know what I'm looking for, Sarah?
You got it?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
He comes off like a Mensa black card holder who might have a secret go habit
or a three-second Rubik's Cube solution or a knack for supplying off the top of his head the day of the week for a random date in 1404
along with a non-condescending history of the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
Oh
yeah,
baby.
That is
pathetic.
That is,
and I don't mean the
normally, that's oral sex.
It's a different form.
It's a different form of oral sex.
Why would Wired magazine interview the transportation secretary?
Because he's probably the smartest guy to ever live.
Oh, okay.
I mean, you know, he holds much of his functional activity of his brain
in reserve.
That's because he doesn't even need it.
He doesn't even need it.
He doesn't even need it.
I will say it does seem like he's not using it.
He does.
No way.
That's sort of
his legacy.
Maybe he's using the bad part of his brain.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
There's a part that's a little defective, can't get things done.
And then there's this Mensa brain,
but he's only using that bad part right now.
Right.
Like the skid row of his brain is the part he's using.
How do you get how?
Who does that interview?
It's so embarrassing.
It is so, it really is.
What are you trying to get free airfare?
Or what are you trying to get?
I just want to get through the line.
I just want to cut the line card at the airport.
I might give him that interview too if I don't get free airfare.
But it's really interesting because, you know, they have a candidate already, right?
Like if this was 2026 and Joe Biden won re-election, God forbid, like you could see they're trying to groom the next guy who's going to be the candidate.
Maybe they don't like Kamala Kamala Harris or whatever, but like they have a candidate who's already in the race.
Why are they doing this?
Are you betting on him making it all the way to the election?
I mean,
he's certainly the overwhelming favorite for the inauguration.
Here's what happens.
That guy is cut loose so fast.
If things get serious
with his son and his son is starting to get nailed on real crimes and that's coming out, I think they say retire.
and he just shuffles off into the sunset.
That's a it's a plausible scenario, right?
I mean, there's a lot of stuff building up.
I think I keep coming back to that IRS where they thing where they fired everybody who was looking into this stuff.
Oh my gosh, that's an impeachable deal.
Like, if it feels like one of those things that went by in the news quickly and is going to wind up being a much bigger deal, that doesn't seem right at all.
I mean, that is, that seems like something that someone at the peak of their anger defending a family member does an erratic gesture like that, and it winds up totally blowing up in the face.
And you know, the IRS is saying,
we didn't do it.
The IRS is throwing the Justice Department under the bus, saying that order did not come from us.
That seems not good.
It doesn't seem good.
No.
Oh, hang on just a second.
Could you play that last piece again?
Because I think
it doesn't seem good, does it?

I'm so sick and tired of hearing about, you know, well, it's not not life.
Well, really, because you're going to be the one in about a year from now that's going to try to convince me that the AI that talks dirty to you at night is life.
So don't, you don't have a lot of credibility on what's life and what isn't.
You hear that heartbeat.
Moms hear that heartbeat.
If they go in and they're thinking about an abortion, once they see it on the ultrasound and they hear the heartbeat,
more than likely they change their mind and they change it towards birth, give birth to the child.
It's life.

I'm just, I'm just, I'm, I'm stunned by this Wired magazine Pete Buddhajudge article.
In fact,
I don't think you can get somebody to write something about you like this without Goebbels standing behind you with a gun to your head?
I mean, it is crazy.
Listen to she goes on.
As Secretary Buddhajudge and I talked in his underfurnished corner office one afternoon in early spring, I slowly
not sure we need the porno music for this still, but
I talked in his underfurnished corner office one afternoon in early spring.
I slowly became aware that his cabinet job requires only a modest portion of his cognitive powers.
Other mental facilities, no kidding, I think it was written by Joe Biden, no kidding.
Other mental facilities, no kidding, are apportioned to the Iliad, Puritan histography, and
Knazgaard's Spring, though not in the original Norwegian slacker.
Fortunately, he was willing to devote yet another apse
in his cathedral mind, making his ideas about three mighty themes, neoliberalism, masculinity, and Christianity intelligible to me.
Oh my.
What is that?
It's amazing.
It's the type of thing that ends up with Pete Budigej and people like this author in Jonestown.
I think you're right.
You know, throwing down some flavorade.
And I mean, like, that is psychotic.
That's
psychotic.
What would possess you to write that about anyone?
I mean,
there's a lot of people that I really like.
I would never write a piece about that about anyone.
I mean, that's the type of thing that, like, you write about Joseph Stalin.
Yeah, I can't even imagine, I can't even imagine writing that about Elon Musk.
No, and Elon Musk is a very interesting guy and is very smart.
He's Very smart.
You could say a lot of things.
He's very smart about a lot of stuff.
But that's like, I mean, borderline worship, like he's starting a religion.
Yeah, it is spooky.
Right?
Like, this is something like the Nvidia cult.
I'm trying to find the name of
this woman again.
I looked her up earlier.
She writes for the New York Times.
What a surprise.
But she's writing here for Virginia Heffernan.
Is that her?
Yeah, Heffernan.
Yeah.
Thank you.
She's writing here for Wired.
So weird.
They're like, Wired?
What?
Why are they talking about that?
Wired.
I mean, I know Wired isn't exactly just a tech magazine.
It's cultural, I guess, as well.
But there's nothing that screams tech like railroads.
Yeah.
Right.
Tech.
Oh, there's no, the cultural importance of the transportation secretary.
Like, can you name another?
Uh-uh.
I mean, you go back.
The only one I could name, I did this exercise a while ago with Buddha Jej.
Everyone knows Buddhajej's name.
Now, obviously, he ran for president.
That's part of it.
But I think people remember him
because of all the failures since he's been in office.
It's been a disaster.
But you can't think of any others.
The only guy I can think of, it's only because we've spent so much time on Ray LaHood, who was the transportation secretary during Obama when they were doing
his first bill there was they spent $800 billion on
cash for clunkers was part of it.
And also the stimulus bill
where they did a lot of transportation projects.
But again, I don't think the American people probably can name zero.
I mean,
Mitch McConnell's wife may come up with know his name, but they may not even know he's the Secretary of Transportation.
They just know he's in the government failing horribly.
Right.
And that's how I think Butige, I think the American people have looked at Butigevich's job performance and think it's awful.
Have you seen the apps in his cathedral mind that he is
seriously?
I mean, seriously, this is a secret
go habit, she thinks.
Wow.
The Glenn Beck program.
Want to talk to you a little bit about Sweat Block already here in
Dallas.
It is hot and muggy.
We're starting to enter that time of year that I just absolutely love.
Where it's going to be hot as a furnace.
And I sweat a lot.
When I'm outside, I sweat a lot.
And I hate it.
I don't anymore because I have Sweatblock.
I use Sweat Block, and it is truly amazing.
There are wipes.
You put a wipe, before you go to bed at night, you put a wipe and just wipe under each arm.
And I generally do it on my chest too because I get so sweaty on my chest.
And there's no sweat for like a week.
No smell, no sweat.
It is truly remarkable.
You get it at sweatblock.com.

You can also get it on Amazon, but you'll save 20% if you get the wipes or the just regular sticks at sweatblock.com, promo code Beck.
All right, got to talk a little bit about the special we had last night on Blaze TV.
I hope you watched it.
And we're going to talk about it and answer some of the questions that came in that I didn't get a chance to talk about.
Coming up.

Got no room to compromise.
We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.
Stand up and stand and hold the light.
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 Glen Beck Program.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.
We've got a great hour coming up for you.
We're going to go over the special last night, give you some of the things that we talked about on TV, on Blaze TV last night with Mark Levin,
and lay out the action plan that you can get online.
It's 25 pages.
It's absolutely free.
But you are key to this solution, taking the power back from Washington and putting it into your hands.
It will work if we all work together.
I was talking to Mark off air yesterday before we went on air, and I said, What do you think, Mark?
What are the odds?
And he said, Glenn, I don't see anything else on the horizon that really gives me hope.
He said, this will all depend on our audiences.
Will people actually do it?
I'll explain in 60 seconds.
Unless you're the type of person who just loves having a whole bunch of complicated extra things to do in your already busy life, buying and selling a home's probably not your strongest suit.
It's never been mine, but sometimes the market is right and if you go for it or you gotta go for it.
You've got to sell your house, your house, and buy another one because you're moving to another city.
Well, there is is RealEstateAgentsitrust.com.
This is my company, and we work with the best real estate agents all over the country.
The ones that we really feel are best suited because they have the best practices, and there's a whole checklist of those things that if you talk to really good real estate agents, you can tell them, spot them right off the bat.
But also, these guys are kind of more like you and me.
They listen to the program.
We have vetted them for a long time before we take them on.
It's realestate agentsitrust.com.
Tell us where you're buying and selling, whether it's across the street or across the country.
We'll recommend somebody to you and you interview them.
It's no cost to you.
It's realestate agentsitrust.com.
The name says it all: realestate agents I trust.com.
All right.
So last night we had the reckoning, and the reckoning is the first in a series of specials that
if the audience engages with it we are planning to do
because I think it is time to take the Constitution back and put the power back in your hands and the reason why everyone feels so
I don't know so powerless is because everything's happening in Washington DC and even when there's a trial it's in Washington, D.C.
And you know how that's going to end up.
So what do you do?
Well, that's where the reckoning guide comes in.
I want you to go to the reckoningguide.com
and find your 25-page reckoning
booklet.
It has
all of the crimes
that
we know for sure
are happening.
There are FARA violations, all kinds of them.
That means you weren't registered as a foreign agent.
You have to do that.
Hunter Biden has never done that.
All kinds of violations on that.
We go through barisma, the peddling of influence in China,
and we also go through the thing we found out last week, which is the influence peddling that Hunter Biden did in Romania.
It is crazy, just crazy.
Then
this is what we focused on last night because this actually you can handle.
No state that I know of can take on the FARA
problem that we have.
That's federal.
However, because of the laptop, there are 170 crimes all over the country.
This was put together with the Marco Polo report.
And these were committed, a lot of them, in California, New York.
So we know we're not going to get Delaware, not going to get anything out of those states.
Okay.
But
there's a crime in
Texas
offering solicitation and then taking that solicitation across state lines.
I called our attorney general, or my people did, wrote and said, hey, we got nothing.
We got nothing.
You know why?
Because one call doesn't make a difference.
We have all of the states, in Arizona, the drug crimes.
We have the U.S.
statute.
We have the Arizona statute.
We have them for each state.
We have the dates of everything.
You have all of the evidence.
out of 170 crimes how many prosecutors decided to take any of these on
how many were actually
written up after found by police
out of 170 how many
yeah the answer is zero
zero
now
why is that for instance in arizona he was under the influence of crack.
He's driving.
He crashed his first rental in a ditch on the way.
Then he dropped off his second rental, a Jeep, at the Hertz facility near Prescott, Arizona.
He left several items in the Jeep, including personal IDs and crack cocaine pipe and a baggie with cocaine in it.
Okay.
The Prescott City attorney and the county attorney announced that they were not going to prosecute before the lab tests were even back.
Now, do you think you're going to get that break?
Do you think your son or daughter is going to get that break?
Even if your son or daughter is in a car and that car was rented and, you know, they picked up Hunter Biden in the car and he was hitchhiking.
And they're like, I don't know him.
He just, he is, we got in the car and we him out and he left his crack pipe.
Do you think your kids are gonna have a prosecutor say, nah, we're not gonna do anything.
No way.
No
way.
So we have all of the evidence, much of it video evidence.
We have it in California.
It is ridiculous.
We have it in Connecticut, another ridiculous amount.
Delaware.
But then we go to Florida.
Hmm.
Florida, he's got some drug crimes and some sex crimes in Florida.
I'll bet you you can find somebody in Florida that's a prosecutor that will be willing to take that on.
I'll bet you if you call the attorney,
the
DA,
or the attorney general in Florida, hmm,
I bet you
they just might take it on.
Massachusetts, probably not a chance.
Nevada, there's a chance there.
Drug crimes, sex crimes.
I mean, bad sex crimes.
This guy is one thing you can say about him is,
he's a machine.
I'm just, let me just, I don't know.
What does crack cocaine do to you?
I mean, besides kill you in the end.
Do you know?
Is it a, I mean, listen, listen to this.
Listen to that.
There's only one way to find out, Glenn.
Let's get this, get this weekend started.
Right.
So if you look at his Connecticut crimes, listen to this.
These are his sex crimes.
Hunter solicits a female via text.
She does an in-call service, blah, blah, blah.
He transports her, and that is on 2-11.
Later that same day,
after the first hooker leaves his room, he solicits for two more prostitutes to come up to his room.
Then the next day,
he
has a third prostitute join him in Orange, Connecticut.
Then
on the same day, day number two, he has another prostitute that joins him at Foxwood's casino.
Then an hour later, While he's at the casino, he hires two more prostitutes.
I mean, how is this done?
How is this done?
Physically, I mean, physically, how it seems demanded.
I guess this is what crack cocaine does.
Yeah,
we're learning lessons here.
Must be.
So we have all of it.
Is there anybody in Orange, Connecticut?
Who's the prosecutor in Orange, Connecticut?
I mean, Connecticut's very liberal, but this was done.
How about Foxwoods?
Is there no DA, no prosecutor that says this was done in my state.
Enough is enough.
170 crimes all over America.
That's better than Bonnie and Clyde, I'll have you know.
170 crimes not prosecuted for any of them.
How is that possible?
Is it just because your name is Biden?
Or is he committing crimes on days when the prosecutor was high on crack themselves?
Get the dossier now.
It has all of the information you need, including the beginnings of all of the contacts.
But I would go to your local DAs.
I would go to everybody and anyone who has the ability to prosecute for crimes.
And I would hammer their phones and their Facebook page and anything else they have.
You've got to start in these states where we got a shot, but I personally think you have a shot
in any state if it's overwhelming.
Now, not California.
Some restrictions do apply.
California and
Delaware and Massachusetts, New York need not apply.
But
this works if we all do it.
It really is incredible that
if it's the type of thing that they're sort of unwinding for us, right?
They've paved the way here, I guess.
They've used their power to come after their political enemies.
They perverted it.
They took
a national crime.
I'm not telling you to take any of
the national crimes.
Those are U.S.
federal crimes.
These are not.
These are state crimes.
So when they did it, they twisted it and tried to make a federal crime a state crime, which you can't do.
Okay?
Right.
This is just using the rule of law as it is meant to be used.
Oh, yeah.
I'm not criticizing it.
I'm just saying, you know, we talk a lot about these precedents being set.
And this is going to be, I think, the...
the notable path of the future on this stuff.
You have to look at this stuff and take it seriously.
It's lawfare.
It's what they did to our, it's what they did to our voting.
They've done it on everything.
They just keep going to court over and over and over again.
They just file and file and file.
Well,
what are we doing?
It seems like the old days, too, like a prosecutor, someone local that had a situation like this would make sure they held the person accountable so that they did not appear as if they were giving political benefits to some powerful person.
You'd want to make sure you brought a case like this, maybe even even more than some regular person, because everyone's going to call you out and say, wait a minute, this is just because it's Biden's kid.
Well, that has reversed and it should reverse again.
I can't imagine.
I mean, I don't know.
I don't, like, I speed and I get pulled over, right?
Like, I, you know, every single thing that I feel like I do that is even questionably wrong, I'm always dealing.
Like, that's correct.
Every time you roll through a stop sign, I feel like there's a cop behind me.
I do here in Texas.
I, I, you know, I'll be speeding or something.
I think,
I can't be stopped.
I don't want to pay for a ticket or whatever.
And I'm in Texas in a friendly state.
Right.
You know, and they're not going to let me go because I'm Glenn Back.
So what are you doing?
But if you're with hookers, you're smoking crack in the car.
There's video of him smoking crack while driving in Virginia.
You can identify all all of the streets, everything.
No prosecution for that in Virginia?
Really?
Nobody decided to pick that up?
Yeah, like, how often have we done stories, Glenn, over the past, you know, 10, 20 years
where
we're like, hey, a stupid criminal, he went and robbed a 7-Eleven and then posted about it on Facebook.
And he's now arrested by authorities.
Right.
This is what he did.
He's done this a hundred times 70 times.
Let me give you a theory on this.
I had this idea last night as I was going through.
Let me give you my theory on that in just a second.
First, let me tell you about Reggie.
Wrote in about his experience with Relief Factor.
Started using Relief Factor only a week ago or a week or so.
And he said,
I have a fair bit of pain throughout my body the past few years.
Age has been catching up to me.
It got bad enough.
I had to do something.
I heard you talking about Relief Factor, and I figured, why not?
Four days.
This is what he writes.
Four days.
That's all it took for me to begin feeling so much better.
Thank you.
Reggie, thank you for trying it.
Relief Factor, just give it a shot.
Yes, you'll be out 20 bucks if it doesn't work, but 70% of the people who try it go on to order more month after month.
I think because they feel like Reggie and me.
ReliefFactor.com.
That's relief factor.com.
1-800, the number 4 relief.
1-800, the number 4 relief.
ReliefFactor.com.
Feel the difference.
10 seconds.
Station ID.
Okay, so I have this theory that,
because why would you do this?
Why?
Would you do this?
And put it on your laptop
and keep it on your laptop along with letters to your family and your dad, and all of your shady business deals.
And it's all on one laptop.
Why would you do that?
Just hear this out for a second.
You know how sometimes people want to get out of something and so they sabotage themselves?
Yes.
I don't think that's what's happening.
I personally think that
the Biden family is so deeply sick,
and Hunter despises his dad, resents his dad.
Okay.
And
I think he didn't start out with this in mind.
I think he started out with this laptop as insurance.
But I think now that it's out,
I think
it's like his dad is still winning.
You're controlling my life.
You are,
you son of a, I saved all of this stuff in just in case as insurance to be able to give it to you and look at what you've done.
His dad is still towering over him and pulling all of the strings of his life.
Does that make sense at all?
I think it's an interesting theory.
Yeah, it's a total theory.
You're not saying that's definitely what's happening.
Because, I mean,
he does seem to be close to his dad
now.
Yeah.
And that's not always been the case.
Right.
But he seems to be, I think, looking for protection from him, at least from outward appearances.
I'm not saying
a deeper psychological.
And there's evidence.
to support that mindset, right?
In the texts,
he's complaining about that type of thing several times.
I mean, that's definitely at some point, at some point, that has been his way of thinking about his dad.
That, you know, he was constantly doing everything for him.
And, you know, again, it's very Kendall Roy if you watch Succession.
Like, it's very much that way.
And
that's all I can think about when I look at Hunter Biden.
But yeah, I mean, that's interesting.
I think there is, there's something, there's something
wrong.
Look, there's deep psychological issues here with Hunter Biden.
I mean, just I think with
the whole family.
Well, yeah, but I mean, Hunter, in particular, you think of a guy who's gone through all of this, and then his brother dies, and he starts hooking up with his wife afterwards.
I know.
I mean, that is a.
And he writes to his sister whose diary got out.
Yeah.
And in the diary, it's like, I remember taking showers with dad.
Something bad happened.
Okay.
And that just went away.
Just went away.
Oh, no, it didn't go away because the people who got the diary are going to go to prison.
Yeah.
Crazy?
Look at that.
Not the person who took the showers and made this little kid feel uncomfortable.
This is proof the world is absolutely upside down.
Upside down.
And
you look at the family, this last thing from Romania, we just found out about 10 days ago.
Nine people,
they have like 26 LLCs.
26.
Totally normal.
The grandkids have LLCs, offshore accounts.
Who the what?
Do you know anyone Stu with an offshore account?
Certainly not that I know of.
Right.
And if I said to you, I got an offshore account, I'd be like, that's weird.
Why are you doing that?
Right.
Right.
Right.
And if I could come up with a reason, you'd still be like, that's weird.
Yeah.
Like, maybe there's some reason to do it like with international taxes.
If you were running an international business, right?
Like if the Blaze was focused on, you know, England.
If you open up a Middle Eastern desk.
Right.
Like, wait a minute.
I can then do this.
Yeah, then you can do all this.
Like, if, you know, if we opened up some international coverage somewhere, maybe there'd be a re like there could be a reason.
I have a friend.
I have a friend who I'm pretty sure has an offshore account because he lives half the year in Puerto Rico.
Okay, yeah.
So it would be an account in a bank in Puerto Rico.
Right.
Which is still not really.
I mean, in a way, it's offshore, I suppose.
Well, no, yeah, yeah.
Right.
But it's not even
offshore.
You know, it's not a shady, right?
Shady bank.
These are all connected to the bank in Cyprus.
Right.
Okay.
Not only 170 crimes, 170 flags from the banks
saying
something's wrong with all of these transactions.
This looks like money laundering.
170 of those flags,
and the Treasury Department, the
FBI,
IRS, nobody does anything.
Go local.
Go local.

All right.
Sometimes the awful effects of a terrible event keep manifesting long after the event itself is over.
9-11, 3,000 people lost their lives.
Two decades later, people are still dying from 9-11-related illnesses.
And I was there.
You could smell it.
It took years for me to get that smell out of my nose.
Every time I thought about the World Trade Center, that smell would come back to me.
Well,
we have forgotten.
I can't smell that smell anymore.
I don't even know if I could describe it anymore.
But our kids don't even know about it.
You know, there's only two states mandating learning about 9-11 in school?
Tunnel to Towers Institute is giving educators access to non-fiction, non-reimagined 9-11 resources for K through
12.
Also, discovering the heroes, background for teachers.
They have guessed that they can bring in all kinds of stuff.

Just amazing.
We ought to talk to you about what's going on with Donald Trump
and the weasel up in New York, what he's doing, Alvin Bragg.
Now he's, I mean, we'll get into it a little bit later.
We have Victor Davis Hanson on, who I just think is a national treasure.
He is so wise and well-read and really knows history.
He can kind of point to, uh-oh, road sign ahead.
Better turn left now.
He's just written something on the French Revolution that is, I think, spot on.
And I read it a couple of weeks ago, and this is the first time we've had a chance to get together.
Hey, Victor, how are you?
We're good, Glenn.
Thanks for having me.
You bet.
So take us through the French Revolution and how it relates to us.
Well, it was a period where there were justified
needs for reform.
The Bourbon kings had been
under
negotiations with a more representative group of people.
And we know in 1789 there was a French Revolution storming the Bastille, but the immediate solution was to have a parliamentary
twin to the monarchy, and that was pretty much what people were negotiating.
And then there were cycles that just kept occurring again and again.
And
some Girondists took over.
That was a group of people who said, no, we don't want the king.
We want the king to be representative, not really an active partner in government.
And sort of as the British crown is today.
And then another group called the Montagnards, they were the people high up in the assembly hall.
They said, no, we've got to get rid of the king exactly, and we don't want just a political revolution.
We want to have it more inclusive.
And then, of course, yesterday's revolutionary was today's sellout was tomorrow or later.
So the Jacobins came in under the Robespierre brothers and St.
Just, and they said, you know,
you people are sellouts.
You don't want to kill the Bourbons.
We've got to execute the king, Marie Antoinette.
We've got to get rid of them all.
We've got to be equity has to be an equality result.
We've got to attack the churches, hang the priests, confiscate church lands, renumber the days of the work.
We've got to get a new foundational date.
It's going to be 1789, year zero.
We've got to name
new months.
And we're going to have to have a new supreme being.
First it was, you know, the God Reason Radio, and then it was become just the cult of the Supreme Being.
So
what I was trying to say, and then of course they went so far that life was unsustainable, and then we had what we called the Thermidor reaction, where they came in and just swooped in, decapitated the Jacobin leaders on the guillotine, and then what was left was
the directory, the consulship, and Napoleon waiting as the corrective of it.
And so my point in this article was that
the Democratic Party under Obama started this progressive cycle.
And yet if you look at it today,
it looks pretty tame compared to what these Jacobins are doing.
And it's a holistic movement.
They want to change our foundational date like the French Revolutionaries did, 16, 19.
They're talking about redefining basic biology with women.
We're talking about reparations so that somebody who may or may not have had a slave in his ancestry eight generations ago is owed something by somebody who may or may not have had an ancestor who was a slave generation eight generations ago.
But it's similar in the sense that almost any means necessary, unconstitutional or otherwise, are justified by the nobility of this total revolution of making everybody the same, supposedly.
And so
where do we go from here?
What do you think, if you just follow history, is coming next?
And how do we make sure that we don't fall into the hands of a Napoleon
well I think it's very important to stop it now because we're getting to the point where this revolution is unsustainable for life as we knew it because when they're if they're canceling power plants as they are in New York or here in California
Brownouts and I was in San Francisco recently two weeks ago it's almost a medieval city it's dysfunctional can't walk on the sidewalk downtown very unhealthy You see people injecting, fornicating, urinating, defecating right in front of you.
And
the school system here in California is unworkable.
And we have this situation where all these stores are just leaving the major downtown areas of Los Angeles.
And when I went into a Walgreens in San Francisco, it was almost like you were in a prison commissary.
Everything is locked up.
And I've never seen anything like it.
So we're starting to see the breakdown of the police.
We're seeing the breakdown of the financial system with 33 trillion in debt.
And we can't.
And so if we don't all step forward and say we've got to stop this immediately and have the courage to say there's going to be no reparations, I'm sorry.
It's just out of the question.
This is a racist effort and we're going to have to we're going to have a border.
It's not going to be a construct anymore.
We're going to have a border and we're going to have to deport people who came in here knowingly illegally.
And I think it's going to take that type of medicine to ward off somebody who finally will
say, you know, I'll put a lid on it, but we don't want that growth.
You know,
Victor, you might be somebody that would brainstorm with me on this.
I just found out a couple of weeks ago that the first transsexual surgery happened in the Weimar Republic in like 1925 or 26.
And it was the the first university of sexology.
The Weimar Republic was
doing all kinds of things that are happening now.
And the churches had gone silent and kind of dead inside.
And when the Nazis came around the corner, there were too many people that were all for, you know, I'm not a Nazi, but they're going to burn the books.
And the first books that they were burning were the sexology books about transgenderism and lgbtq and all of that stuff we're repeating that and what i'm afraid of is you get to a certain point and if our churches don't wake up what happens we will look for somebody who will say as you just said i'll put a lid on it and we will cheer and then we our side will become the bad guys because we haven't noticed that our hearts have closed.
Does that make sense to you?
Yeah.
Yeah, I remember the American sexologist, Havelock Ellis.
He was our version of the German sexologist.
He was very popular.
And he was advocating things that were pretty, even today, look pretty crazy.
But
nobody in Germany, I mean, Hitler, if you read the early propaganda of 1933, 434, it was all against Weimar.
He tried to melt up everything he could because it was just an unstable mess, the Weimar Republic.
And, you know, they had deliberately printed in 1923 earlier, they printed all this cheap money to pay off their indemnities to France and ruined the global economy.
It was a mess, and they couldn't correct it.
And
there was a kind of a cultural, like, I think what you're saying is there was a cultural element to it.
Big time.
Very similar to what we've seen.
Yeah, it's an idea that no one can judge anybody else's lifestyle.
Right.
And
we had this.
And the banks started to be run by guys in their 20s and the older guys.
Yeah, all the older people were like, wait a minute, what is happening to our country?
Very similar to this ESG, this idea that we're going to make investments based on social activism rather than financial logic.
And
that's what's scary is that this revolution that I think started with Obama has morphed into a 24-7, 360-degree degree effort to be so intrinsic that sexuality, economics,
academia, professional sports, almost every institution has to participate.
And I think that's because they realize there's no popular support for it.
That's what's ironic.
51% of the people do not agree with any of this.
But when you have all of the major institutions under your control and you've got the big money now, everybody thinks big money was Republican.
It's not anymore.
It's left-wing Silicon Valley Finance
corporation.
And we d we have the voice, but we don't know how to exercise that power
because we're just saturated.
If you do a Google search, the first twenty results are going to be ideologically warped.
Right.
If you face you don't know what's going to be banned on Facebook or
maybe not anymore Twitter, but everywhere you turn, your kid comes home from college and gives you a lecture.
You go in to see the school board for your nine-year-old.
It's just so intrusive and, again, holistic that I think everybody has kind of retreated to a monastery of the mind where they say, you know what?
I'm not going to watch any NBA anymore.
I don't watch a Super Bowl halfway.
I haven't heard, I don't know what a Tony Award is.
I have no interest in the Emmys.
I haven't seen an Oster on TV.
That's the reaction.
And that's not going to stop it.
So withdrawing.
It's not.
And I am afraid that some people are also withdrawing from the news because they feel so lone and hopeless and powerless, which is absolutely not true.
But there is one thing that I think is really good.
Because I've been warning about these things since the beginning of
Obama.
And it has always, I just realized this week, it's always been, okay, Glenn, yeah, yeah, the Republic is going to go down and these guys are all going to do these things.
Now it is seemingly accepted even by parts of the Democrats and the left that
we're going down and this is the time that it's happening right now.
And you're waking up
and solidifying in people's minds, oh, crap, this is real.
And I think that's our opportunity here to save the nation is if we can act now together.
I see that as a good sign.
Yeah, I do too.
I think people have to realize that whatever their politics, this agenda is not a political agenda.
It's a nihilist agenda.
It goes nowhere but destruction.
If you have, just to take one example, if you institutionalize the idea that you're going to attack personally the Supreme Court justices you don't agree with every day with this fix the court and you're going to go to their homes and you're going to swarm their homes or you're Chuck Schumer, you're going to go to the Supreme Court and threaten them with the the world when they're going to reap.
That's not sustainable.
It won't work.
And yet that's been that's just partial now.
I remember when Pack the Court was a dirty word from 1937 and Roosevelt's failed gambit.
Now
it's a badge of honor.
That's an agenda.
But they're advocating things that will not work in the sense that if you were to enact them or implement them, life as we know it would not be sustainable as we know it.
I don't think it would be.
California is the canary in the mind.
There's certain things now that people do in California that they've never imagined.
I don't go downtown.
I make sure I don't.
I have pharmaceuticals because I can't go into a store.
I don't go out after night in a big city after 7 o'clock at night.
This is all new.
It's very rapid, the collapse.
It shows you how fragile we were much more fragile than we ever imagined.
Well,
I really appreciate all the work you do, Victor.
Thank you for everything.
He ends
his op-ed with, a counter-revolution is building, not just because people are angry at what has become of their country, but because they now are learning that if they do nothing, they will have no country and soon.
Thank you for that real clarion call.
Thank you.
God bless.
All right.
The mark of a good driver is somebody who anticipates as many things going wrong as possible and is prepared for them.
That's also the mark of a good car owner.
If you're prepared in case something goes wrong with your car, you're not freaking out when something happens.
Car repairs today are expensive and crazy, and they got you because what are you going to do?
Spend as much on a used car that you spent on a new car a few years ago?
You can't get rid of that car.
You have to make sure that you maintain it.
And after the warranty is out, if it breaks down, it can cost you an arm and a leg.
Not if you have Car Shield.
They have affordable protection plans to fit every budget and they now cover more parts than ever before.
You're going to want them when the time for those costly repairs arrives.

So, Victor Davis Hansen was just on with us, and he was talking about how crazy California is.
Well, I'd like to point you to King County, Seattle, Washington, the co-chair of an advisory committee for the King County Regional Homelessness Authority.
They're doing a bang-up job, by the way.
They were having a meeting of the Continuum of Care Advisory Committee, and they were voting new board members.
Among the nominees is a guy named Thomas Whitaker.
He goes by the name Raven Crowfoot.
He's a 38-year-old man who identifies with the LGBTQIA2S Plus.
Don't know if he is, but he identifies with it.
And he also identifies American, Indian, Alaskan, Native, Indigenous communities.
I don't know.
How do you, he's a community?
I don't, again.
Okay.
So he had all that going for him, so he's going to just slide right through.
And then somebody on the board said, can I say something?
We have a code of ethics here.
Really?
That's coming as a shock.
Thomas Whitaker Raven Crowfoot is a sex offender, a repeat sex offender.
And I have had a previous bad experience with him.
Oh, my God.
He touched me inappropriately.
And if he's on the board, I'm not safe.
I'm not coming in.
Now, of course, in the Me Too era, you'd expect them to be like, oh,
it's Seattle.
Okay, so let's look about who he is.
At 25 years old, he was convicted of harboring a runaway, a 13-year-old girl who he had to have sex with.
He's 25, she's 13.
Two years later, he pled guilty to a felony charge of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes, though the original charge was rape of a 15-year-old, and then he goes on with a 17-year-old.
What happens?
Oh, I can't wait to tell you the ending.
What happens is
that woman was screamed down by the co-chair.
Shut up!
Glenn back program
packages by Expedia.
You were made to occasionally take the hard route to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
We were made to easily bundle your trip.
Expedia, made to travel.
Flight-inclusive packages are at all protected.
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is
the Glenn Beck program.
We've got got a lot to do this hour.
We're going to talk a little bit about what we laid out last night and answer some questions on this.
Also, you'll hear a little bit more from
Jack Carr.
He's got a new book out, but we're talking about saving the country.
And he said some fascinating things.
Also, an ESG update and so much more coming up.
First,
You've worked hard for the money that you have.
You have saved.
You have played the game the way you were supposed to, you played by all of the rules, and now your dollar, because the government is no longer playing by the rules, is losing its value.
So, what are you going to do?
Well, you can be in denial, but I think America is waking up.
I think they are starting to say, wait, there is a massive problem here.
And they're seeing the handwriting on the wall.
May I suggest you call Goldline and you put some of your savings, some of the stuff that you have in gold.
Gold or silver.
Goldline is the only company that I have trusted.
I've worked with them for, gosh, 25 years now.
866 Goldline, 866 Goldline is the number.
They have their legal tender bars back.
These are gold bars made by the Canadian Mint, but in a completely different way.
So they're kind of like chiclets and you just pop them out if you need a small bit of gold or silver.
They have them in stock this week.
With direct delivery purchase, you're going to receive 10 of the brilliant silver uncirculated Kennedy half dollars with every card you acquire while supplies last.
Goldline, call them today, pick up some tangible assets.
They will help you
protect your money.
866Goldline or goldline.com.
All right, so I started telling this story last hour and I ran out of time, so I want to just focus on it here just a bit.
The co-chair of an advisory committee for the King County Regional Homelessness Authority.
Now, you're in King County at Seattle, Washington, and you're on the Regional Homelessness Authority Board.
I'm guessing.
Right out of the Cato Institute?
Right.
No.
Yeah.
Guessing not so much.
Heritage Foundation?
No.
No.
Okay.
Maybe, maybe not so conservative.
So they were having a meeting of the King County Regional Homeless Authority Continuum of Care Advisory Committee.
Good God.
How many committees like that do you belong to?
Oh, none.
None.
None.
Exactly none?
Or are you just saying that?
Yeah, no, I'm getting, no, it's an exact
scientific calendar.
0.0.
Zero.
Wow.
Okay.
So they were having a vote to bring in some, you know, they had some nominees to bring in some new board members.
And among the nominees was a guy that everybody thought was going to be a shoe-in, or at least he did, Thomas Whitaker, aka
Raven Crowfoot.
So we are.
His name is Thomas Whitaker.
Yes, but he goes by Raven Crowfoot.
He identifies as Raven Crowfoot.
Crowfoot.
Okay, he's 38 years old.
He identifies with the LGBTQIA2S plus
community.
Wait, what's the S?
I don't know.
Because I don't know.
Because I was going to say, usually they leave something out, and it gets me very angry.
They've added something here.
The only thing I would, I would quibble a little bit, and I use the quibble word specifically because there's only one Q, and they should have two Qs for both queer and questioning.
So L G B T Q Q I A 2 plus,
but the S
Spaghetti Os.
Is it 2 S is just the 2 spirit?
So it's the 2 usually.
I like to say it's spaghettios because because i that now i'm part of that group i i like spaghettios my wife hates them do you like them do you identify as a spaghetti i could i could do you identify as chef boy hardy himself yes i could all right anyway he also identifies with the um american indian alaska native indigenous community
so I don't know if he's any of those things, but he identifies.
That's important.
We don't actually know even if he's Native American.
So that's the first stop on our crazy train.
I just want you to know that I don't, I'm reading the news story.
I don't actually know his name.
Is his legal name Thomas Whitaker or is his name Raven Crowfoot?
And which does he go by?
Is it says aka Raven Crowfoot?
When?
Now?
Before?
When?
Can I, I mean, my guesstimate here, and I can't, there's, it's impossible to follow news stories now.
Yes.
Because they won't tell you what the truth is.
You can't say, well, this person is actually a, like, this happened with the Nashville shooter when they came out.
Yes.
I think I was on vacation that week, and I couldn't understand what was happening.
Right.
It was like a trans person who identifies as, and I couldn't tell if it was a man who identified as a woman or a woman who's identified as a man.
By the way, it is a woman who identified as a man, right?
Yes.
That's where that one left off.
But it was impossible to follow the news.
So I think, though, you could become an expert in just reading the tea leaves here.
Okay.
I'd rather not, but go ahead.
No?
Well, no, I'd rather not.
I'd rather just know.
I'd rather have.
Oh, I'm with you on that.
I'd rather have our language just be a little more precise.
But this creates jobs for people like us.
Yeah, sure.
We have no societal value otherwise.
You're right.
We can come in here and try to analyze and interpret and translate the story.
What would you say to me?
I think the Whitaker name is the actual name.
This is a guy whose name is something Whitaker.
Yeah, Thomas Whitaker.
Thomas Whitaker.
Then he has falsely identified as Raven
Crowfoot.
Yes.
And then also, I don't know if he's falsely identified as the LGBTQQIA 2S Plus community.
But what I will say is because they use 2S, 2 is usually left out of this acronym.
Because they
use 2S
even more than the 2, they're really specifically calling that one out, which makes me believe
he's a two-spirit because the two spirit is Native American heritage.
So I think that's what we're getting here.
He believes he's both maybe with Kirby.
And I think you're on to it, okay?
Because
when this woman raised her hand and said, okay,
yeah, he's got all the qualities.
He's got all the intersections.
He's got more intersections than there are downtown.
Right.
And that's what you want out of any of
those.
invitations, no merit-based things.
No one, how many letters do they hit?
Exactly right.
Okay.
And she said, but I have a problem.
Can I say something?
We have a code of ethics on this board.
And I think they could have taken an adjournment there going, wait a minute,
we do.
Hang on.
Wait, what?
Adjourned.
She said, we have a code of ethics on this board.
And
to spirit, I think this is his confirmation, Thomas Whitaker Raven Crowfoot.
That's her words.
That's a quote from her.
So he goes by both.
By both.
Thomas Whitaker Raven Crowfoot is a sex offender
and a repeat sex offender.
And I've had a bad experience with him.
He has touched me
unwantedly.
And if he's voted on this board, I will not attend any meeting that he is present because I will not feel safe.
I mean, think about this.
Is a woman who was
seemingly molested, allegedly, by
a crazy person.
Yeah, right?
I mean, an alleged crazy person.
He's got two spirits, one.
How many allegedly do I need to put in there?
I put in an allegedly.
I thought that a covering.
Sure.
I don't think anything covers you today.
Okay.
So I put in an allegedly.
So I don't know.
Again, we're piecing this together, but at some point, she was touched by this guy.
We don't know if it was Thomas Whitaker or Gordon Crow.
I was going going to say Gordon Lightfoot, but that would be unfair to Gordon.
Raven Crowfoot.
And that's so very raven, by the way.
That's so raven.
Raven Crowfoot touches this woman who's at work, and you'd think immediately in our society today,
believe all women comes into play.
So we believe her for this.
Number two,
she wants a safe space.
Safe space.
Right?
So she's hitting another part of their ideology.
This is not like some conservative complaint here.
This is someone saying, hey, I was a victim of crime.
And oh, by the way, there's even more that we can get to.
Okay, well, hang on just a second.
May I earn my place in the tribe?
You can.
Okay, so I'm not eaten first.
Right.
Now,
I need to up one from you.
Okay, that's fine.
This is the value we're bringing.
And since you said tribe, are you also two-spirit?
I am more Native American than Elizabeth Warren.
That was, by the way, confirmed by a DNA test, in case you missed that episode.
That is true.
He is
shockingly true.
Shockingly true.
Okay, so anyway,
let me just say this.
This
is going to turn ugly on her.
Okay, you would think that it's going to go the other way, but it's not.
It's going to turn ugly on her.
And why?
Because as we told you a long time ago, they don't really care about women that's a political tool to cancel people that they want to cancel and keep everybody in place they don't actually care about it they don't actually care about safe spaces it's a way to get people who disagree with them out of any space that they want
to make sure that that space can also follow you
and you can be chased out of any space.
And it's only because it's not that they feel unsafe.
It's they want you to feel unsafe because you have the wrong opinion.
Okay?
So this is exactly what happened.
And I said,
by the way, they don't care.
You're a useful idiot.
And in the end, they will eat their own.
Watch her now eat their own.
So she says this guy, now what evidence do you have?
Well,
she went into a lengthy history of this guy with him having inappropriate relationships with underage girls.
One prosecutor called it rape of a 15-year-old.
He also,
when he was 26, he was having a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old girl.
Lately, he's been with a 17-year-old girl.
Now, remember, he is is 38 okay obviously a problem and touching her
so what happens
well the co-chair shawnee colston i don't think i could i i i i mean i'm from seattle i i grew up in seattle i love seattle i could i could never
you just shawnee pisses me off It just pisses me off.
I don't know why.
I don't know.
Is it like Raven Crowfoot?
When I was growing up, there were people whose last name were Crowfoot, and they were actual Indians, and they were totally cool, and we all got along.
Right.
Now,
I don't think you don't look like a Native American at all.
Okay.
Again, this would be the type of thing that the left used to be, would be upset about.
If you were falsely identifying as a Native American, that would be a problem.
Yeah, allegedly.
It is just a way to get power over people many times, allegedly.
So this woman says, Shawnee says,
we're not allowed to
out people here.
And she says, no, but
it's been in the paper.
It's on public record.
Everybody knows this.
Right.
And she's like, we cannot
disclose people's personal business.
Is that your personal business when you're assaulting other people or having sex with 13-year-olds?
Is that your personal business?
I know Jeffrey Epstein claimed it was, but now we're claiming this everywhere.
Well, she says it's not okay at all, and I won't stand for it as a co-chair.
We're not here to discover people's backgrounds.
Well, now I know more about this guy than I care to know about.
Yes.
The only pertinent part of...
I don't care who he sleeps with or whatever.
You know what it is, a 13-year-old.
I do care.
I care.
But I don't care about that he's too spirited and he's, you know, whatever he identifies.
I don't care about any of that.
Don't care.
What I do care about is merit or lack thereof.
For instance,
you should wear a merit badge.
You serve time for raping a child.
Okay, I think that would probably be something that we should know.
If we're looking for a board member, we're not just looking for what letters are there.
We're actually looking, is this a good guy, bad guy?
Well, she said, we're not here to look into people's backgrounds.
She said,
I am actually glad that he is here because sex offenders are another population that is vulnerable, that don't have housing.
What?
How are we talking about housing and the homeless now if you're a sex offender?
First of all, I mean, I could make a case that no
no um i'm not going to give special uh dispensation to child sex offenders but okay everybody deserves a house but that's not what we're talking about here she says i am telling you now you cannot talk like this at this meeting stop she was screaming now according to the article i will not have that here if anyone wants to talk like that you'll be muted and removed from this meeting board member or public or not this is about equity And everyone, everyone deserves housing.
I don't care if they're a sex offender.
I don't care if they're black, indigenous.
I don't care if they're a criminal.
I don't care if they're coming out of jail, prison.
Everyone deserves housing.
Right.
We're not talking about that.
No, we're not talking about that.
And when you're talking about people who are having sex with 13-year-olds, I would agree they deserve housing.
It just becomes behind bars.
Right.
That's where the housing exists.
There's plenty of it.
And we'd be happy to fill you up,
fill up those areas.
But did you see what just happened?
They're eating their own now.
They're eating their own because they don't actually believe in any of those things.
It's all about power.
And so what do they do?
What they've been doing to us, they did to her.
How dare you?
You're a racist.
You're a bigot.
You're against people who are in jail or prison.
You're against this person or that person because of what?
The way they choose to sleep with people.
You're a bigot
and shutting them down.
And
that wasn't the conversation at all.
The conversation was all about
he's touched me before.
I feel unsafe if he's here.
And I won't come anymore if he's here.
That's completely lost.
It's about equity.
Back in a minute.
MyPillow, an incredible company.

Glenn, tonight on Studios America.
I'm going to have very difficult booking here as I booked my wife as a guest.
Now, my wife, she goes by Lisa Page, not the Lisa Page from the Durham Report.
Different person, different spelling.
P-A-I-G-E.
And she has an Instagram account.
Lisa Page made me do it, which is, you know, generally speaking, she talks about
fashion and
phone decor.
Yeah, yeah.
And, you know, she's got a good following there.
But yesterday, she just sort of lost it.
She was driving through and going to go shopping and goes into a store.
And the store, I think it was an Adidas.
And they had a, you know, she's got to look at a giant poster of a man in a women's bathing suit with a bulge.
It's despicable.
It's disgusting and ugly.
A hairy dude with his bulge in a women's bathing suit, which he's trying to shop.
Yeah.
I blame the Germans for a lot of this because of the speedo.
I don't want to see a guy in a speedo.
That's a very big thing.
But then it was wrong then and it's wrong now.
Right.
Now you take that hip cut and you're like, whoa.
No, no, thank you.
It's like wearing a banana peel.
And she's like, you know, she said in her rant, and, you know,
she's caused a little controversy with this.
So I encourage you to go follow her on her Lisa page, maybe do an account because she'd like the support, I think.
But it's like, she's like, I don't care if you identify as a parakeet.
You can identify as whoever you want, but that doesn't mean I'm going to call you that.
And I don't, she's not a person who wants to dive into every one of these cultural controversies, right?
I think the average person who's just living their life and just wants the truth spoken is hitting that line.
It's hitting that personal point where they just can't shut up anymore about it.
You have to call it out.
This is completely insane.
Because, Glenn, if we can't handle a story like the one you just talked about in Seattle, if we can't handle that, do we even deserve to survive this?
Well, we won't survive this.
We won't survive.
If we can't say, okay, enough is enough.
This is ridiculous.
This is not.
tolerant.
This is way beyond any kind.
You know, there is, everybody's like, you got to listen to the experts.
No, you have to listen to yourself.
Listen to that inner voice.
When you were told that story, how many things were you asked to deny to get through that story?
All these things that you had to go, well, okay, well, that's him.
And so he wants that.
No, no, no, no.
There's a warning in you.
And it's because you're about to lose your freedoms and your country.
Listen to the voice, not the freaking experts who have gotten it wrong the whole time.
Listen to yourself.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and make a bold statement.
Shouldn't cost you an arm and a leg every time you want to throw some steaks on the grill.
So when you do,
you want to make sure you're getting the very very best meat that you can at the best price.
And the very best meat's coming from the United States, our farmers, our ranchers who are working hard for your business.
Well, there is one group of people, it's goodranchers.com.
They will not sell anything from overseas.
85% of the grass-fed beef that you have sitting in your grocery store has a little sticker, says product of USA.
It's not.
It's not.
It means it was processed here.
It could be from China.
85% of it sitting in your supermarket is not from America.
Goodranchers.com.
Goodranchers.com.
You're going to get great steaks.
Use my promo code Beck.
You'll get $30 off of any box.
Locally sourced meat you're putting on the grill.
You're going to lock in your price.
Get that from your supermarket.

Don't miss the Biden corruption scandal,
big show that we had on this week.
It's Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.
Promo code is fed up for 30 bucks off.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
Hey, I just want to share some good news with you.
In fact, I'm going to bring Paul Fitzpatrick on.
I don't know if you remember the 1792 Exchange.
He was on, I think, when they first launched it, 1792exchange.com.
It's a great, great service that you should have on your browser.
You should make sure that you're going there whenever you're looking at buying something, doing anything, looking at companies.
Paul is with us.
Hi, Paul.
Glenn, how are you doing?
I'm great.
How's 1792 Exchange going?
Glenn, we are doing really well.
I have to tell you, something really interesting happened the day
you generously had us on the show to talk about our corporate bias ratings, just ratings of companies you just mentioned.
That day, your listeners responded so well.
We had a huge spike, biggest spike in traffic to our site ever.
But the left didn't like it.
They actually launched a very sophisticated denial of service attack on our site that shut us down for a couple of hours.
Oh, yeah.
But actually, that, no, no.
But honestly, it was a good thing.
It let us know we're over the target and they don't want your listeners to engage or be informed.
That's fantastic.
So just real quick,
you are looking at all of the
companies that are involved in some way or another with ESG.
So you can just, if you're for ESG, great, use those companies.
If you're against it, don't use those companies.
You're just giving the likelihood of a company canceling a contract, client, boycott, divest, whatever, based on somebody's view or belief, right?
That's correct.
We want customers whether you be you're an individual consumer or you're running a small business or you're running a nonprofit, we just want you to be informed.
Or frankly, if you're an employee trying to decide, should I apply for a job at a certain company?
And we let you know which ones are actually, like we like to use the term, weaponizing the corporation, the brand, their money.
That's really what it's about.
It's just informing people so they can make their decision.
Okay, so there's some good news that I want you to share about ESG.
We talked about it, I think, the day this came out, but we just
mentioned it in passing.
And it is really good news on ESG.
Oh, absolutely.
Glenn, you know, it is hard to argue with the market and market forces are working and speaking.
Big picture.
A couple years ago, there was almost $52 trillion
in ESG funds globally.
That has declined 36% to about $33 trillion.
Wow.
And ultimately, It's just a massive shift.
And for your listeners, your question is, well, why would that happen?
Well, if you're making decisions for non-financial reasons in a portfolio,
you're going to get harmed.
And so last year, tech stocks, and you know, the ESG funds love the high-tech stocks because they do the environmental stuff and
the social stuff.
Tech stocks
last year were down 30%,
but fossil fuel stocks were up 60%.
And so these ESG funds, they overweight tech, they underweight fossil fuels because they're trying to to drive an agenda, they're trying to transition the economy.
Well, they got harmed.
And so because of that, money, billions of dollars are flowing out of ESG funds.
I think this is fantastic.
When we first started talking about it, I asked somebody, can we start tracking these funds to see if they're losing money for people?
And we now know they are.
And
people have got to know this.
You've got to get your money.
If you have any kind of money
with, I mean, you could probably name more than I can, but, you know, BlackRock, Vanguard, get your money out of there.
Oh, bottom line.
And the reason is
they are using your dollars whether you're in an ESG fund or not.
This is the really most important thing.
Yes, you're right.
Find out, go to your asset manager.
Go to our 1792exchange.com.
Find out if your asset manager is woke or not.
But if you're in a big asset manager, BlackRock or State Street, or most of the other bad ones, you know, Franklin Templeton or J.P.
Morgan or Invesco or Magellan,
whether you're in an ESG fund or not, what they're doing is they're voting your proxies.
They're pushing the ESG agenda with your non-ESG funds.
So you really have to get out of those.
There are very few big asset managers that are actually somewhat neutral.
Dimensional funds is probably one of the better big ones.
Smaller, but really good.
You can trust them.
Our Vident is one.
And another one is Strive.
They're smaller, but they're growing.
And so we need to move out.
And that will, when consumers change our behavior, that's going to force changes among these companies.
There's some really good information that you really should look at.
But when you're looking at brands, for instance,
you know,
buy new balance instead of Adidas.
Tell your wife that.
No Adidas, no Nike.
Buy New Balance instead.
You know, there's problems now with
State Farm.
State Farm, if you're looking for a local agent, State Farm started paying for books and pushing a transgender agenda for children, and your local agent isn't aware of it, but you can be if you understand the 1792 exchange project at 1792exchange.com.
Yeah, Glenn,
this is about customers and consumers being informed.
And just remember that these companies are
being pressured by activist employees, they're being pressured by these asset managers to take positions that harm the very company, harm their employees, and harm Americans.
I mean, it makes no sense.
So, Paul,
Where do you put Budweiser?
Because I think the owners of Budweiser
are conservative, but they're letting their company
be run by
these crazies who are all into this stuff.
And is there a better beer company?
I can't claim to be an expert on a beer company, but I will tell you, this is a classic example of Budweiser.
Your listeners know, you know,
a, I would say middle-level manager but very influential manager of a very powerful brand so this is not a low-level executive this woman was very highly paid decided to make a decision
to put this brand behind the trans agenda and
my guess is that in a lot of these companies the CEO was not asked hey should we have Dylan Mulvaney on the the can on the Bud Light cans probably not but the question is,
why are these CEOs hiring and promoting people,
probably with their gender studies major from Vassar, why are they promoting them to manage brands and giving them the ability to make these decisions?
And
the problem is, this is the beautiful thing about the Bud Light example, which is very instructive for other companies.
So the people on the right, people who think that gender dysphoria is not something to be celebrated, it's something to be treated with compassion and care medically.
So we're unhappy, but then because Bud Light kind of pulled back from that, now
the left is unhappy with Bud Light.
So it's a perfect, it's a classic example of don't get involved in politics if you want to sell a product.
Yep.
Thank you so much for everything that you're doing.
It's great to have you on.
Thanks for sharing the good news about ESG.
It's remarkable.
1792exchange.com, Paul Fitzpatrick.
Thank you.
I want to share something from last night.
We signed off of all the social things, and then I took questions from viewers.
And I want to play the last question that was asked of me of the night.
We'll do that next.
Hang around.
You wouldn't give somebody you love and care for, you know, food that had no nutritional value day after day.
It wouldn't be right.
I mean,
maybe if you're like a 26-year-old and you're married to George Soros, maybe you would start making sure he's eating food with no nutrition.
That's so, that's, no, that was love.
Anyway, beware of the dog food that has long shelf life.
It means that all the good stuff is cooked out.
Live nutrients are an essential part of a healthy and happy dog's daily diet.
Getting your dog the right nutrition can be a problem.
Fortunately, naturopathic Dr.
Dennis Black invented the solution, and it is called Rough Greens.

We have an update on the campaign.
In the past few minutes, officially filed paperwork for Tim Scott to be run for president on the Republican side.
He's expected, I think, a formal sort of announcement next week, but he is in.
And of course, there's been big rumors as well about next week being the day or the week for Ron DeSantis to announce his candidacy as well.
We'll see if that happens.
Okay, so last night we had our big special, and I urge you to go to the reckoningguide.com.
and you can probably, if it's still up, watch it at YouTube.
If you're not a subscriber or if you're a subscriber on demand, you get the extra that I was answering questions after the special last night of Blaze subscribers.
And
I wanted to play one
question and answer in particular.
Here it is.
Dan Smith writes in.
He says, Glenn, why is it not acceptable for an armed revolution, change of government as outlined in the Declaration of Independence?
If not now, when?
Dan, you sound like an awful lot of people that were around
at the founding.
A lot of people said that.
But they were saying it to their leaders,
Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Ben Franklin, George Washington.
They were saying it to some of the greatest men who have ever lived at any time.
I've never seen another time,
maybe Florence with art.
I've never seen such great minds come together.
It's the Renaissance and the American Revolution.
Who exactly is, who's the leader of,
that would be,
what exactly would happen there?
First of all,
they have been trying to get you to strike out for almost 20 years now.
I stand in line at the airport and
now they're going to take away our right to take off our shoes and belts.
They're going to make it so uncomfortable at first that you'll have to have your retina scanned.
I stand there and I take off the shoes.
I go to other countries.
You don't have to do all of this crap.
But we do.
We do.
Why?
Because they want you to be compliant.
The one thing we have not done
is what Jesus taught.
Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's.
Everything else, no,
no.
I will not comply.
And if that means you're going to, you know, cut me off from the rest of the world, I'm going to lose my job, you know what I gain?
I gain my soul.
I give my children and my grandchildren something that they will be proud of.
I don't know about you, but if you haven't done your genealogy, you should.
I didn't think it would change my life, but it has.
I found out that my great-uncle and my great-grandfather were both in the Civil War.
Because they're a Beck and we're just a bunch of losers,
they were captured almost immediately.
But they both went to the infamous Andersonville prison.
One of them died there.
The other got out, but was never the same.
That changed me, knowing that.
That changed me.
I come from a family that didn't sit out on the side and paid the ultimate price.
That, if you don't know Andersonville, you should look it up.
It is pretty much like any concentration camp in Germany.
It was sick.
But
why should I or why, how can I justify dropping the ball now
after they paid that price, after others in my family paid price in World War I and World War II?
I'm not going to be the one.
I'm not going to be the one that has grandchildren in school someday or talking about the past and they remember, because remember, gang, this is
a repeat of history, okay?
This is an aberration of history as well.
This insanity and up is down and down is up, all of that will end.
It will end.
And I want to make sure my grandkids can look back and go, my grandfather, he stood.
he just would not give up he was on the right side you know you're on the right side
now
how much is that worth to you
to me that's worth a lot
there's no need to jump people don't recognize what violence would mean and they want you to be violent.
The solution here, I think, is always local.
And it is also
really important
to use the Constitution.
The reckoning last night was all about the tools at your disposal that we have not even touched.
And it will drive them out of their mind once we start touching them.
Because that's the way they gain control.
We are in the minority now, or we're the minority voice.
I don't think we're in the minority, but they have control of everything.
So we're the ones on the outs.
Great.
Let's use every tool in our box to make sure our country at least survives this time.
Don't give up hope.
Don't give up hope.
We are beginning to win.
I don't know what we have to go through, but I know that in the end, we do win.
Make sure you go to thereckoningguide.com.
ThereckoningGuide.com.
We'll see you next week.
God bless.
