Get her something

that means something, hopefully means something to you and your mom.

My mom got me listening to you.

And, you know, my mother loves you.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together, it's a cost of life.

Stand up the sand 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 Glenn Beck Program.

Hello, America.

Hey, you'd think this was good news.

The United States, the economy is growing.

Looks like we're adding more jobs.

Much more than expected in April.

253,000 jobs.

Good news, right?

You would be wrong because the government and the Fed are trying to slow down the economy and make it harder to add jobs.

So this just means that what they're doing for inflation by raising the interest rates isn't working.

They better raise them perhaps faster.

It is just an amazing web of lies and deceit.

We're going to take some of that apart.

And also people now, majority of people are worried about their money in the bank.

Don't.

And I'll explain why in a second.

First, let me tell you about Donna.

She wrote in about her experience with Relief Factory.

She says, I couldn't use my right hand because it was so swollen with arthritis.

I used to wake up really howling in pain.

I woke up this morning and my right hand isn't even swollen, let alone painful.

I think I'll be able to start sewing again.

I am amazed at Relief Factor.

Donna, thank you for writing in and giving it a try.

I will tell you, my biggest problem were my hands and I could not,

I couldn't work my hands and I couldn't hold a paintbrush.

Now,

my wife was like, can you put the paintbrush down for just a minute?

Yes, dear.

Anyway,

it's her fault.

She told me to try it, and it worked.

It's Relief Factor, the three-week quick start, $19.95.

Trial Pack, not a drug, developed by doctors.

Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on to order more.

ReliefFactor.com.

Call 800 for Relief.

800, the number 4 Relief, or ReliefFactor.com.

Feel the difference.

Well, hello, Stu.

Glenn, happy Friday.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

And good news about

the jobs being made, right?

Lots of jobs.

It just shows that they have no idea how to control the things they say they know how to control.

Yeah.

It's almost like a centrally planned economy is

something we want.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well,

19%

are very worried about the safety of their money, and 29%

are pretty worried about the safety of their money.

This is exactly what it looked like in 2008.

And I will will tell you right now, don't worry about the security of your money in the bank.

If you have more than $250,000 in the bank, in one bank, then you should worry about it.

But if you don't, you're going to get up to $250,000 back from FDIC.

Okay, now with that being said,

don't worry about the security of the money in your bank.

Worry about the value of the money in your bank.

If things collapse, you'll get $250,000.

That's fantastic.

But because everybody's going to get whatever they had in new dollars, how much are those dollars going to be worth?

That is the secret here of why people are not freaking out.

They're not understanding how inflation works and what we're doing.

So

the interest rates continue to go up because it's killing the value of the dollar because the United States of America, our government, is spending us into oblivion.

That hurts the value of the dollar.

Too many dollars chasing too few goods.

So the value of the dollar goes down.

That means if you had a hundred dollars in the bank and it's the same hundred dollars that you had in the bank

10 years ago, it's probably worth about 90 cents or 80 cents today.

It still says 100 and the FDIC will still give you $100

back,

but its purchasing power is maybe 80 cents.

That's what you need to be concerned with.

The banking system,

the banking system can be a complete rout.

It's the dollar that you should be concerned about.

Does that make sense?

Yeah.

I mean, I

might push back a little bit with a tad minor bit of concern about actually getting even the money that I have back.

I mean, I know it's insured, but I keep looking at this program and thinking to myself, they don't have the money to insure all these banks.

Obviously, that's not how this works.

No,

they will print it.

They will just print it.

They will print it.

I guess that's true.

They're not going to break their promise on giving you money, especially since I think they're intentionally wanting the greenback to break.

They want a CBDC.

So why not print the money?

That's right.

Could they even?

Again, an insurance program is set up not to have every single dollar that could possibly be needed in it.

That's not how

any insurance product works, right?

They don't have to have all the money available to pay every

government program.

Right.

They have a percentage of it, a percentage more than they believe they'd ever need.

And if it goes higher than whatever they have in that fund, which was, what, $128 billion,

if it goes higher than that.

Which it already has.

Which it already has, though they've had other ways to cover it so far, bigger banks stepping in, doing all those other things.

If it goes beyond that, they will pass more money for it.

They will print money for it.

They will go through.

But again.

And they'll gouge your eyes out at the bank.

At the bank, the bank will charge more for the service because they have to pay more for the quote insurance.

Right.

I mean, you're going to want to be paying for it.

So

you'll pay for it in the value of your dollar and the actual amount of dollars you have at the bank.

I have no doubt that the government will do whatever they have to do to

protect these programs.

But like we do have a lot of political dysfunction in this country.

And when they need to do it, will they?

And it's also questionable whether it's good for the country.

I mean, at some level, you start spending all of this money in and you're ruining the dollar.

They already have their escape hatch planned.

They already have it.

It's

CDBC.

You just reset the dollar and you reset it on something else.

You reset it on the American land.

I guess what I'm saying is if that's not, I'm not confident.

You're like, be confident that your money will be there.

That to me is not confidence.

If that's how this plays out, that's not confidence.

Well, I'm trying to give you the, I mean, everything is nuanced.

I'm trying to give you the truth

that you will get your money in some form.

But how much will it be worth?

I mean, you know,

you could get Reichmarks like crazy in the Weimar Republic.

They didn't have a problem.

You can get your money.

You got your money.

In wheelbarrows.

Right.

To go get a loaf of bread.

Yes.

You got it.

You get your money.

They will never run out of money.

They will pay it.

Worry about the value of your money.

Taking your money out of the bank right now does nothing except perhaps accelerate a banking collapse.

Okay.

Leave it in.

Doesn't matter.

Take it out strategically and put it in other things that might hold value.

I don't know what those are.

Is it land?

They could take the land.

I mean,

they already were talking about

we don't have enough land for wind farms.

And who was it?

The Secretary of Energy or one of these guys said, I think it's about time we start looking at eminent domain and just taking that land.

So I don't know.

Is it land?

Is it gold?

Is it silver?

Gold they could take, guns they could take.

I mean, I don't know what's going to have value.

Food?

But you know what they did in Weimar?

If you had food,

this is why my Patriot Supply delivers in unmarked boxes.

In Weimar Republic, anybody who knew, anybody who had prepared, they were suddenly called hoarders.

And they were demonized in the press because they were hoarding all the food.

And they were like, I'm not hoarding the food.

I was prepared.

I saw what was coming.

i was prepared so keep it to yourself keep it to yourself

yeah i think i i think that's it's good advice to be prepared right it's it's it's irrationally uh stupid for the government to tell you there's nothing to worry about at all this is what they're trying to say with these banks oh there's nothing going on this there's there is clearly is something going on and you should be skeptical as to whether this is going to be a major problem.

Preparing yourself for major problems is part of what you do as an adult.

That's adulting.

Yeah, but is it now in America?

Supposed to be?

Yeah, but let me ask you, do you see the thing, we're going to talk about it later.

Do you see the thing up in New York, the Marine that

this guy was, this homeless guy, this black guy was harassing everybody on the subway?

Now, nobody is, I mean, very few people are riding the subway now in comparison to the way it used to be because it is so dangerous.

Okay.

And everybody does the same thing.

They just sit there in the car and they're like, just don't just be invisible.

I'm invisible.

I'm invisible.

I hope and pray.

And by the way, we should mention, you mentioned the race, because of course this is becoming a racial issue.

Yeah, this is going to be a George Floyd thing.

They're trying to make it into George Floyd.

So this guy, he's homeless.

He's probably nuts.

He has a record.

He's saying, I can't afford anything.

Give me some money.

Give me some money.

And do we have the video of it?

Yeah, here is the video of it.

So

a Marine comes up behind him and puts him in a chokehold.

Two other people are helping hold this guy down.

They're protecting themselves.

And the other people on the train.

And the other people on the train.

They've been threatened by this person.

Correct.

So the Marine grabs him, puts him in a chokehold, chokes him out.

Well, the guy dies.

Now they're going after the Marine saying he's a murderer.

Now, let me ask you something.

Is the government

doing things as it's collapsing around you?

We know it's all collapsed.

We know.

We know.

These cities are becoming Gotham.

And I love the fact that they're saying maybe we should bring in, maybe we should have, you know,

bring back all the mental institutions and just involuntarily, you know, admit people.

No thanks, Gotham.

I'd like to stay away from,

you know, the Arkham prison and hospital.

I think that would be good.

That didn't work out real well.

Can we finally watch a movie?

So

they're saying that maybe we have to scoop all these people and involuntary institutionalize them.

No, I don't think that's the answer.

I think it's the answer in some circumstances.

In some circumstances.

But be very careful.

Those are always used by dictators in very bad ways.

And I don't care if it's a dictator on the right or the left.

You don't want to give them carte blanche on just picking people up and putting them in an asylum.

Right.

Carte blanche is bad.

Right.

So is the government of New York,

they are not taking the steps to arrest people.

They are letting crime.

go free.

They're letting criminals go free.

They're letting murderers go free.

A decent person just to get to and from work, riding the subway, is abused almost every day.

They're frightened, honestly, frightened that once those doors close and you're in a tunnel and somebody stands up and says something, nobody's going to do anything.

Everybody's just like, just please get to my station.

Please get to my station.

Okay?

That's not good.

And then if somebody stands up because the guy's getting really

quite abusive,

If you hurt him in any way, you're the criminal.

The government should be saying, any government of, for, and by the people,

what part of government is the most important part in that government?

Of, for, and by the people.

The people.

Okay.

Okay.

Go for one of the three, but yeah, that works.

The people.

I mentioned in all three.

Right.

So any government that is protecting itself

and doing everything it can to make it harder for you to protect yourself is a problem.

It is a problem.

Are they making it easier for you?

We all know the dollar is, well, not all of us know.

The dollar is going to collapse.

The end of the dollar as we know it is coming.

okay it's not going to be the reserve currency it's already in the 40 range it was 80

of of uh global currency that is being held as gold in the reserves all around the world it's now in the 40 percentile

what

okay

well what does that mean that means a smart person like all other countries are hedging their bet.

They're also putting some gold.

Is the government suppressing?

Is the government making it easier?

How about Bitcoin?

Is the government making it easier?

Or are they trying to criminalize it so you can't get it?

So you have to stay in the dollar.

The violence on our streets, the crime going up.

Police, they're not around.

Some cities, they don't even show up.

Maybe you're lucky if they come the next day.

So you know you can't count on the police.

So is the government making it easier or harder for you to protect yourself?

Harder, they're taking away your guns and anyone who defends themselves, they're doing a George Floyd march.

You got a hostile government.

It's clear.

You have a hostile government that no longer understands this is a

country of, by, and for the people.

You just have to do the next right thing and assume they're not, but you must do the next

right

thing.

Back in a minute with more.

I have a series of qualities I look for in a person who I'm going to do business with them.

I'm sure you do too.

I look for honesty.

I look for somebody who is

is willing to admit mistakes, somebody who has a willingness to really work hard and get the job done right.

That's one of the most important things.

Will you work like nobody else works because you're driven inside?

Okay.

When it comes to finding a real estate agent, you really have to be right the first time.

Competence, knowledge, capability, honesty.

When I started a business, realestate agentsitrust.com, to just give you a recommendation of a great real estate agent in your area.

This is what I said.

That's why any agent that we would recommend, we have vetted over and over and over and over, and we still monitor all of their transactions all the time.

We watch, we look at their scores, we've talked to them, we talk to them until they're like, oh, good God, yes, okay.

My

grandmother's sister's maiden name, what?

I mean, we get it down.

We know these people and we feel comfortable that they are real estate agents you can trust because they're real estate agents I trust.

That's the name of the company: realestate agentsitrust.com.

Realestate agents I trust.com.

Go there now, tell us if you're buying or selling and where, and we'll try to find the right real estate agent for you.

Realestateagentsitrust.com, 10 seconds station ID.

So,

now with the banks

more and more so collapsing, what are they doing?

The government said in 2008, we heard this over and over again, these big banks are too big to fail.

So what did they do?

They passed the Dodd-Frank bill, which did what?

Made the big banks bigger.

So now the reason why the reason why

monopolies, one reason why monopolies are so bad.

If there's just one choice and it goes unstable,

the entire thing can break apart.

If your state were stable,

if your state had its crap together and wasn't living off the teat of the government, living beyond their means or enacting crazy things, the federal government could do whatever it wanted, but if it fails, I know my state's safe okay

that's why you spread risk out that's why you don't like monopolies because it'll crush all competition then it gets fat and arrogant and then you got a crappy deal and and if it's critical

In its arrogance, when it stops doing the right things and does things to protect itself and get itself rich, then it causes problems and you got nothing.

We are now in the great bank nationalization phase of our country.

We are going to one national bank

and it's all happening through the Fed.

Remember, the Fed is a private corporation.

We don't even have a right to audit it.

The president picks the Fed chair when it's time to pick a Fed chair, and he gets a list from the Fed.

You can pick from these guys.

Oh, can I?

I've seen this in a magic show.

It's called Forcing a Card.

Pick a card, any card.

Except you can't pick any card, just the ones in the magicians that the Fed are showing you.

Pick one of these.

Pick one of these.

Is it a seven?

Oh, how did I know?

Okay, they're forcing it.

This is a private corporation

that is

basically the six or eight biggest banks in the country.

Who's benefiting on all of the regional and small banks collapsing?

The Federal Reserve is taking all of the bad debt, which we'll eventually pay for one way or another,

and the big banks get all the good stuff from these regional and grow bigger and bigger.

All of them belong to the Federal Reserve.

One big

bank.

This Mother's Day, why not get moms, your mom, the gift of preserving memories in a way that will last forever?

I can tell you that I collect history and I'm trying to preserve history.

And I have so many photos from the 1800s that are not like the photos of today.

The photos today, they're not meant to last for more than like 20, 30 years.

The photos I have from 120 years ago are fading fast, and we are doing everything we can to preserve them because once those photos are gone, we don't know what it really was.

We don't have photographic evidence of it.

Same with your whole life and your family.

We have got to preserve who our family is and our way of life.

Pass it on to the kids.

I think this is a tremendous Mother's Day gift.

It's a legacy box.

You can take all the films, the videos, everything else, put them in a legacy box, send them in.

They will digitize them so they are preserved forever.

I want you to listen to the experts because the experts, they have degrees and stuff.

They have

things that hang on their wall that says they're really smart.

So let's listen to the experts.

We know Kamala Harris has been briefed extensively on the school bus, and she loves school buses.

Who doesn't?

Raise your hand if you love a yellow school bus.

Okay, so she's been going around talking about how we need these new electric yellow school buses because they're so great.

This

is

a microcosm of everything that we are facing.

Listen to this.

This is from just the news.

Federal money is starting to flow for electric school buses, but the funds won't cover all the costs of switching from diesel.

Electrifying Pennsylvania's bus fleet,

although logical in theory, proves to be less sensible, experts say.

Industry has already been hit with a major threat.

That threat is the electric school bus, said Daniel Fry, owner of the Fry Transportation Group in Beaver County.

During a hearing with a House Republican Policy Committee, the price tag, he said, is four times more expensive than a diesel school bus.

Fry said small operators just can't afford the electric buses, as well as the rising prices for their diesel counterparts.

In June 22, he bought a diesel bus for $103,000.

But by April of 23, the quote for the same bus was $143,000.

That's for the diesel.

Federal money has started now to flow

for electric school buses, but the funds aren't going to cover all the costs of switching from diesel.

In October, Biden administration announced $1 billion to support the purchase of 2,300 electric school buses nationally.

Another $4 billion would be distributed through 2026 for electric and low-emission buses powered with alternative fuels with propane or natural gas.

Now remember, I have a story today in the show prep, if you get it at Glembeck.com,

that says

natural gas is responsible for killing the planet.

If you went back to our show prep maybe a month and a half ago, we had the government officials saying, we're not going to ban natural gas.

Yes, they are.

Okay.

So this was supposed to be a 50-50 split between electric and low-emission buses, but that was later revised because raise your hand if you don't love an electric school bus.

So now it's 95%

all of the federal money going to go for electric school buses.

Also, the schools get $20,000 for charging stations, but that doesn't cover what it needs.

Now, I want you to listen to this.

Diesel is going up in price.

Why?

Because

diesel will, of course, go up in price as

the

supply goes down.

And eventually, when the need

is there, but it's not the main need, so the market is making even less, it will go up even more.

Right now, the experts,

the president and vice president of the School Bus Association and the Pocono

Transportation

in Pennsylvania, said, we should slow down, pump the brakes, see how this will pan out, especially for school transportation that is funded by the taxpayers.

He referenced Uniontown, a rural school district, being 52 miles long with an average route for a school bus being more than 100 miles long.

Does an electric school bus with a possible range on a good day of 130 miles make it?

Maybe,

maybe not.

On top of that, for electric buses, the other issue we don't understand yet because we don't have enough data is the environmental conditions.

Will that drastically affect the capacity of the batteries?

I don't know, but this is why you let the the free market work it out.

You sell a few electric buses, and if they're better, the world will pound a path to your door.

But when the government mandates it, you don't know if it's better, and nobody has thought of all of the consequences until you've already spent all the money and you're trapped in that inefficient, completely useless school bus.

This is a good summary of almost every green program.

Yes.

Right.

I mean, Germany went through this with solar panels.

Yes.

They said, hey, we're going to get rid of all of our nuclear stuff.

Yes.

Because it was not trendy at the time.

We're going to put in solar panels.

So they spent a fortune on solar panels.

Of course, what happens?

Like if you were to say, hey,

flat screen TVs just came out.

Let's spend a fortune on flat screen TVs.

What would happen?

You'd have a lot of older, crappier, expensive flat screen TVs.

And now when everyone else can buy a much better TV for $300 at Walmart, you've got $10,000 TVs all over your buildings, right?

Correct.

That's what happened with solar panels in Germany.

It's what has happened with almost all of these technologies.

It's going to happen with a school bus.

By the way, the school buses are $400,000.

$400,000.

$20.

Yeah.

Okay.

$400,000.

Now, who is pushing this?

Well,

Kamala Harris is the face of it.

Oh, yeah.

So when I hear that the White House has laid out its AI damage control plan and put Kamala Harris as its czar, I'm thinking what could possibly go wrong.

You have some of the biggest minds all gathered saying,

this is a problem.

This could literally have man

go extinct.

Who should head this?

Well, let's get, well, she did the school bus thing and the borders working.

Let's get Kamala Harris to do it.

Can you imagine being one of these big brains and having to go sit with Kamala Harris and this government and try to explain AI and what to do?

It's a little like this.

There is a the Milken Institute.

They had a global conference in Beverly Hills, California, and they were talking about AI.

Now,

in their literature,

they say that

the conference has convened the best minds in the world to tackle its most urgent challenges and realize its most exciting opportunities.

So, the best minds in the world were gathered.

And I want to quote this scientist because this is really

complex, and I don't know if everybody's going to be able to hold on.

But one of the best minds of the world said

while they're discussing AI, well, I got an M M F or AI right now that they did made for me.

This N-word could talk to me.

I'm like, man, this thing can hold a real conversation.

Like real, for real?

Like it's blowing my mind because I watched movies on this as a kid years ago.

When I see this S, I'm like, what's going on?

And I heard the dude, the old dude that created AI saying this is not safe cuz the AI's got their own minds these MFers gonna start doing their own s I'm like are we in an effing movie right now or what

what the F man

so I need to invest in AI so I can have one with me or like do you all know

S

what the f i'm lost i don't know how is this reported

snoop dogs confusion now remember one of the greatest minds on the planet convened by the milken institute to talk about ai

snoop's confusion over today's ai systems do reflect what may be a common sentiment among people who are just trying to understand and follow the latest developments.

His unguarded observations on IAI are notable, coming from a highly respected, multi-award-winning musical artist and entrepreneur.

That's how the press report.

You got Snoop Dogg

talking about AI,

and you think this is good.

Yeah, we're going to learn a lot.

You know what?

Kamala Harris's committee is not going to have Snoop Dogg, I'll tell you that.

No, no.

I will say, though, Snoop took your advice about listening to movies that you recommended earlier in the show.

He did.

Actually, does.

He did.

And I think that's the lowest level argument.

Yeah.

No, it's true.

It's just, could we have anyone just watch a movie?

We've seen this play out.

over and over and over again.

And we're the people that you sit in the movie theater going, they never do that.

We're doing that.

It's incredible.

But again, that's not the scientific argument, but that would be my opening argument at the table with Kamala.

All right.

You think by now they would have invented a car that cares about you and how much of your money is going down the drain if it has any problems.

Wouldn't it feel better if your car could just say to you, I'm really, I know this is coming at a really bad time.

I'm so sorry.

I've tried.

I know you've been stretching your dollars.

So and I switched over to this system, but

you got to repair this.

I'd feel a little better, but it's a cold, heartless machine that robs your wallet every time it breaks down.

So may I suggest Car Shield.

Car Shield will help take care of you, beginning if your car breaks down, you're stuck on the side of the road.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

We have some more information on some great school tips from Kamala Harrison school buses.

Yeah, I think it's important to put this in perspective because let's go back to the beginning here.

The Inflation Reduction Act.

We are told.

This is one of the most amazing pieces of

legislation of all time, not because it actually, of course, reduces inflation.

That's important to note, but that it's an incredible climate bill.

This is the quote.

This is the biggest step forward on climate ever, ever.

And it's going to allow us to boldly take additional steps toward meeting all of my climate goals and the ones that we set out for when we ran.

That's Joe Biden.

Hang on just a sec.

I thought this was an inflation reduction.

Forget that.

That's old news.

That was a lie.

That was in the news then, so that was a lie then.

But it was about the climate, the biggest climate bill ever.

So what's the most important part about the biggest climate bill ever?

Good question to ask.

Well, Kamala Harris was asked that.

What are some of the parts of the Inflation Reduction Act,

the amazing law that you are so excited about and most excited about?

She says, oh, I mean so much.

Some of the things I'm very excited about is what we've been doing in terms of electric vehicles.

And I have a particular fondness for, I must tell you, electric school buses.

I love electric school buses.

I really do.

She goes on to talk about how she loves electric school buses, the central part of the thing she's excited about.

The most important climate bill ever.

The thing she's most excited about.

Electric school buses.

So, what does this mean exactly?

Well, there is something in there about electric school buses in the bill.

It's called the clean, heavy-duty vehicles part of the bill, description, new EPA funding program for class six and electric commercial vehicles, including trucks, transit, buses, and school buses, funding $1 billion.

Now, of course, as you pointed out, $400,000 per bus.

So, if all of this money went went not to all the categories listed, but just to electric school buses, you could buy 2,857 electric school buses.

Oh, wow.

That's like, what do you, is that like 75% of the country?

It's not.

Oh, it's less than that or more.

It's less.

Let me give you the quote.

This is

out of the roughly 500,000 school buses in America, there was already 1,800 that were electric.

Now we're going to add a max of 2,857 more.

So we're more than doubling.

Right, yes.

We will now be at like 2% or 3% of electric vehicles.

Of course,

if half of all school buses in the country switched from diesel to electric, you'd save about 2.1 million tons of carbon dioxide.

Well, no, now wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Could you please play, this is CNN.

Listen to the experts, please.

Cut three.

New York has made a bold move to address the climate crisis, becoming the first state in the country to ban gas stoves, natural gas, and other fossil fuels in those new buildings.

There is no doubt the science is showing us that those choices are heating up the planet at sort of a scary rate,

all put together.

Buildings count for about 20% of carbon cooking, you know, planet cooking, carbon pollution as well.

So some of these school buses are natural gas.

So when you say it's going to

help the environment, no, they just said that natural gas is killing the

science show.

This is very clear.

This is warming up the

place.

I just can't believe these idiots.

But Glenn, remember.

May he be the first to be eaten.

Inflation Reduction Act.

Most important climate bill ever.

Most important part of that bill.

School buses.

It's about 2% of school buses being replaced.

Yeah.

Wow.

2.

That leak.

Now, if you did half of the school buses, not 2%, but half of them, you'd save 2.1 million tons of CO2.

Let me give you one other piece of news to keep this in perspective.

Little announcement made in October of last year.

No one really noticed it.

The ruling party in China aims for annual coal production to rise to 4.6 billion tons in 2025.

This would be a 12% increase over last year's 4.1 billion tons.

So, this little announcement from China that no one noticed

added 500 million tons.

Yeah, but the school buses balanced that out.

No.

No.

In fact, it would do not 2.1 million tons because that's half of all school buses.

This is only 2%.

So you're talking about a few hundred thousand, maybe 10,000 percent.

Than billions.

And no one criticized China.

In fact, they get praised for their climate policies.

Ha.

So anyway,

as you might note, doing

skeptical on this question.

Wait a minute, just a second.

Do you have your degree in math?

Are you a math doctor?

I'm not a math doctor.

So then why should I listen to you?

That's true.

I just had an expert on TV that was

pretty quickly.

Optimism isn't sunshine and rainbows.

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

It's running the world on smarter energy.

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

G.E.

Vernova, the energy of change.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together, it's a girl survived.

Stand up, stand, and hold the light.

It's a new day,

What you're about to hear

is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Back program.

Hello, America.

I am going to give you some good news on Fight Back Friday, some of the things that are working, people that have made real inroads and an impact that you may have not heard because why cover that?

Let's just make sure America thinks they're doomed and have no power.

We're reversing that course in 60 seconds.

So I have to tell you, there is nothing I love better than paying way more for a service than I actually need to.

You know?

Oh no, wait, wait, reverse that.

Sorry.

I'm guessing you hate that too.

It wasn't that long ago you really didn't have much choice other than to go with one of the big mobile companies for your cell phone service.

But I really think

maybe the big three gatekeepers should have a lesson coming to them like Budweiser did.

It's not the way anymore where you have to be with one of the big three.

Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, offers dependable nationwide coverage on all three major networks so you still get the best possible service in your area.

But you're not pouring all that money into the hands of people who are spending it, you know, at Planned Parenthood.

When you switch to Patriot Mobile, you choose to support free speech, religious freedom, sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, military veterans, first responders.

Let me tell you something.

The right has a problem because our billionaires won't spend their billions to help.

They're, well, what do I get out of it?

That's the problem with the right and the billionaires that we have.

The left, the billionaires will just, they don't, whatever.

They'll spend it.

And the people on the left spend where their values are.

We don't do that.

This is an opportunity to go with your values and save money.

PatriotMobile.com/slash Beck.

Call 878-PATRIOT.

Please support the people who are supporting us.

And I mean you, not just me, you.

They're fighting in our own communities with us.

PatriotMobile.com/slash Beck.

878-PATRIOT.

All All right, so let me give you a couple of uh

couple of things.

First of all,

the California school member, a school board member that was

kicked off the board

because he was speaking out against transgenderism,

he

said

on Facebook, transgenderism, the LGBTQ movement, all of this needs to stop in our schools.

And of course, he couldn't stand.

They're in California.

Well,

some of the people in the community said, we're not taking that

and convinced him to run again.

And he ran in a special election because they gathered enough signatures.

And he won.

He's back on the board.

His response, what he said,

we have to stand up he also went on said I'm more excited now about the opportunity to go and correct the things that I've identified but it's five hundred thousand dollars later but that's what the special election cost we're basically back where we were in October $500,000 of the taxpayer dollars poorer to the community.

Thanks to the people that pushed this.

They went after me because they didn't really want to give me a platform to highlight the problems of the school district.

Thank you for giving me that platform, and I'm going to do the work of the people.

So good news.

Now,

more good news.

The Soros-backed St.

Louis prosecutor that they've been trying to get rid of forever, okay, and the Attorney General was going after him in court.

Don't have to worry about court anymore.

She's just resigned.

Why?

Because the Attorney General found out she was going to night school, which is against the law.

You have to serve full-time.

She was going to night school to work on a new career in nursing.

Yeah, I want somebody who, you know,

lets murderers out of prison for social justice reasons.

I want her to be my nurse when I'm really sick.

As a white man, I feel completely comfortable with that.

Anyway, so she is out.

Finally.

People hang themselves if you give them enough rope.

And

at the local level and the state level,

it's a different situation than it is in the federal level.

Biden has hung himself a million times with the Hunter Biden stuff, all of the corruption, everything that's going on.

But the system up above is so

grotesquely distorted and corrupt

that it doesn't matter what said, but in your local and state, it still does.

So make sure you're standing up.

Now, more good news.

The Democrats,

the Democrats decided that they were going to put a guy on the parole board in Pennsylvania,

and he's, you know, okay, so he murdered somebody.

Okay, who hasn't?

Who hasn't?

You know, when you were were young, who hasn't murdered him?

Everyone's murdered someone.

They can't say that.

What are they going to eliminate all murderers from parole boards?

Who's going to run the parole boards?

So they decided to put him on

because he was a thug in his youth.

He killed somebody.

It was a rival

drug dealer.

And he was convicted of first-degree murder.

He served 32 years.

He was released in 2018.

And they're like, you know what?

He's a success story.

He should be on the parole board.

Well,

unfortunately,

no.

No.

He actually is now charged with stealing nearly $100,000 in COVID funds.

So

he's gone and going back to jail.

Sometimes you feel like maybe

we deserve the things that happened to us.

Oh, we deserve all of it.

Really?

We deserve all of it.

It's amazing.

You know, one of the best ways to make sure you don't have criminals who are committing crimes is to, when you catch someone for, let's say, murder, they don't get an opportunity to get out and commit additional crimes.

Oh, it's just because you just have the one.

You just let them rot in jail forever.

When you murder someone, yeah, yeah, that's what you, that's what you do.

Well, that's an awful lot of food to feed those people.

It sure is, and it's worth every penny.

Each bit of government cheese you provide them is worth it.

Well,

we have a problem with too many prisoners.

Oh, yeah, we're just trying to real problem with that.

We're just trying to reduce the surplus population of murderers that we have.

Right.

Murder is something that you should not get out of prison for.

I don't know if people understand this.

And can I add a couple of other things?

Yeah.

Child molestation.

Yeah, you just don't get out to do another one.

Maybe that's just, you just go in and then you're in.

And then that's the end of the story for at least the rest of society.

The rest of society is not burdened with whether this person will engage in this activity once again.

Let me give you another one.

Let's say you cross the border and we deport you.

And then you cross the border again and we catch you again.

Should we deport that person again?

Is that a good idea?

What if we deport them again and they come over again and then we catch them again?

Should we deport them again?

And what if we deport them again and then they come over the border again and we catch them again?

Should we deport them again?

And what if they come over the border again and then we think, should we deport them again?

no this time let them live in texas and murder a family of five that's a good plan maybe if they cross once and we deport them and they come back in again they don't get the opportunity to come back in a second time is that a crazy idea am i am i way out of the mainstream on this well i i think you are just based on media and what i see on television i mean first of all

well i don't know our our stand-in board operator no offense, I celebrate it if you are.

Are you gay, lesbian, bi,

do you?

Try identify, try human, or are you quadsexual?

BC,

none of that.

It's just cisgender, just plain old cisgender.

Bohring.

Wow.

See, I know because I watch TV

four people working together.

There's no one transgender and no one gay.

Racism, sexism, transformation.

Right.

And no one's having open sex

like in a crazy way during the commercials right regularly so yeah the regular the regular way so it's we are so out of touch right

i've seen it in the culture you know on tv and stuff which is like real life well i've i've been i've been following uh nbc apparently it's happening all the time yeah

every time you go to a commercial break apparently some anchor is having sex with an executive i

okay so let me ask you this now this is your theory about because i have another theory there was a chair that we used to put people in

I can't remember.

A heating chair?

A heating chair.

It's a heating chair.

It has a butt warmer.

Yeah, right.

Okay.

But I'm going with yours.

We put him in jail.

Yeah.

So tell me, was this a good story or a bad story?

Trans-identified homeless male.

Now, trans-identified homeless male don't know if he's identifying as a male and it's a she

or if I don't know either.

He is a he identifying as a she.

Also, I will say from that information, I don't know if he owns a home because you're saying he's identifying as homeless.

And I don't know if he could be like, he owns a mansion.

He just identifies as homeless.

Now, I want you to know right on the outset, this is not intentional.

This is not the left intentionally confusing all of our language so we can no longer feel safe to communicate with each other.

Okay.

This is completely unintentional.

So, trans-identified homeless male, repeat offender,

released without bail.

Okay.

Just that part.

Good thing, bad thing.

I don't know.

Release without bail.

I mean, I don't know.

I need more information.

Well, he committed a crime.

Okay, then probably not.

I mean, if it's a minor crime.

Well, it is a minor crime.

Okay.

Well, I mean, no, it's a crime against a minor.

I mean, so it's a minor crime.

It's a minor crime.

Your honor, that's a minor crime.

It's a minor crime.

He was just a crime.

Jeffrey Epstein had a lot of minor crimes.

Minor crimes.

What are you going to throw a key away on me?

It's a minor crime.

So he was arrested on charges of kidnapping a special needs child on a Portland train.

But they've just let him go.

Minor crime.

No bail.

Minor crime.

That's incredible.

So, yeah, well.

If you do something like that, like you know, you should not be out in public again.

Certainly around children.

Like ever?

I think really anybody.

Right?

Yeah.

I think anybody.

I mean, if that.

Now, is that just because he's trans that you're saying this?

No.

Let's say he was a cisgendered guy that was on the train and he kidnapped a little girl.

My understanding is Jeffrey Epstein was cisgendered.

I still wanted him in prison.

Wow.

Jared from Subway, pretty cisgendered.

Want him in prison.

Yeah.

I mean,

we can listen to that.

We've been pretty consistent on that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, the cis part of it, not really a factor.

May I give you some more good news?

Okay.

Because this is Fight Back Friday.

These are the people standing up.

Good.

Who has stood up in

Washington recently on anything and got something done, even though it's not really done?

I mean, I don't want to raise your expectations too high.

You're not looking for a name, are you?

I am looking for the, I can't believe I'm saying these words, but the GOP on the budget.

Yeah, I mean, you said it's not done, but they at least stood up.

At least tried to do something.

Okay.

The Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young

on Thursday indicated to reporters that a short-term extension to the debt ceiling may be a possibility between the standoff between President Joe Biden and House Republicans.

There's a crack.

There's a crack.

That's good.

Now, Republicans, good job.

Good job.

Who's a good bobby Not yet.

Not a good job yet.

No, no, no.

Good job.

Keep going.

So far.

Right.

Right now.

Sure.

Good job.

You did it.

Good job.

Now,

if you

sons of

female dogs

fold at the last minute and you don't get a reduction in spending and control, it is

your constitutional job

to control the spending of the federal government.

Now, I know, probably not you,

maybe

those of you who are like 178 years old and still serving in Washington, because you serve your country, Mr.

Millionaire, I understand.

But somebody

gave away all of that power while they're not just passing a budget anymore.

I suggest you take your power back.

So, good job.

Good job.

It's a good first step.

Go for you.

You take one step.

Who's going to make it to the table?

Yes, you are.

Back in just a minute.

Michael lives in Connecticut.

He wrote in to tell us about his experience with Relief Factor.

He says, Relief Factor helped to almost completely eliminate my elbow pain when I couldn't find any other solution.

It is a great product.

It has helped with a lot of other aches and pains as well.

Since I started Relief Factor, I feel like I have more energy.

I feel better.

Thank you so much.

If you've been living with a lot of pain in your life, you might want to consider trying Relief Factor.

It attacks inflammation in our body, which is the biggest cause of pain and

other problems.

It attacks it four different directions where something like ibuprofen, even the hard stuff, 800.

I was in a rehab center for my usage of ibuprofen 800 because I was buying it on the street.

I was like, this stuff makes me fly.

Oh, I shouldn't say that, should I?

No, anyway, that's the hard stuff.

It's never done anything for me.

Anyway,

consider Relief Factor because it attacks inflammation four different directions and it works for me.

I don't know if it's going to work for you, but why are we making this ad about you and your pain?

It's my show, me, me, me.

Relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief, 800, the number four relief, relieffactor.com.

And let me just say say this I think why people listen to this show is

and I say this in all humility I am one of the most humble people you will ever meet you'll never run into anybody more humble and I think

they should give you award for your humbleness

I might reject it because I'm so humble but I would understand why they would you know that damn mother Teresa oh I'm saving children whatever relief factor feel the difference 10 seconds station ID.

So, Glenn, I'm currently reading this book, and it's about the for you.

What for you?

It's called Golden Book.

No, it's called A Cat in the Hat.

And so there's this feline.

All right.

So it's a book about the early days of the viral internet.

Right.

So it's about like, you know, when all, you know, places like BuzzFeed and Huffington Post and like when

these organizations are starting up, they're trying to figure out how to get more traffic, how to game the system to get people to click on their articles, how to go viral, right?

And why I, the reason I'm reading it is because we went, we lived through this, right?

Like we were in New York at this time.

Oh, yeah.

We were in the middle of this.

We were being destroyed.

Destroyed.

And many of the people who are featured in the book were attacking us on a daily basis for clicks.

And so a lot of the names I'm really familiar with.

Like, we knew these people.

We knew who they were.

I remember a lot of the storylines from what was going on.

And so I'm interested in the insider account.

Sure.

I believe you made playing cards with

the faces of the most dangerous people on the internet at one time, but I shouldn't say that out loud still about your playing cards.

Anyway, go ahead.

Okay.

I don't know.

I don't even remember the reference.

It counts only vaguely familiar, but okay.

So who knows?

So what's interesting is I'm listening to this.

It's an audio book.

I'm listening to this audiobook, and they're talking about these people.

And I know each one of these names.

I remember them all.

I remember all these players.

And then they start talking about this other person.

And I'm like, who is this?

Like, I don't, why is there one name in the middle of all these names that I recognize that I don't recognize?

And they're talking about how she, you know, does this and she's important here and all these things.

And I'm thinking to myself, like, I know this storyline, but I don't remember this person at all.

Who is this person that was involved in it?

Only several pages later do I realize what has happened is this person whose name I did know in the interim has become a woman, has become transgendered apparently in the last 10 years at some point.

And they were referring to them in the book as a woman when at the time the book was happening, they were a man with a different name.

So I don't understand at all what's happening in the book in the history of this period.

Imagine how our kids feel in history class.

Oh my gosh.

They can't make heads or tails of anything, of anything.

This is why we're having such a problem with our kids.

Nothing is true.

Nothing is solid.

All right, let me give you this because last thing on the transgender.

This is a trans activist.

She goes to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors

and she just just really wanted to let her voice be heard.

Here she is.

Imagine that.

I hate this.

I hate what you've done to us.

I hate what you're doing to us.

I hate you, Board of Supervisors.

I hate you, Lendon Bridge.

I hate you, Jenkins.

Hold D.I.

Jenkins accountable.

No.

Is that Alex Steiner?

Hey, man.

No.

No.

Okay.

Stop.

I think she's made several good points there.

That's the best point I've ever heard from someone on that side of the argument.

It really is.

It really is.

But remember,

we're the ones who hate

right we're the ones they say they hate right right they wallow in their hatred and spread it around

we're the people at least if you're if you're not you need to be we're the people that love our neighbor and love our enemy doesn't mean we sit down but we don't hate you because that's what happens when you're filled with rage and hate

it's fight back Friday

I try not to bring you well

I try to bring you news where people are standing up fighting back and winning this one is early but first this is going to just it'll drive you out of your mind

however

By the end, you're going to love this story.

Federal government recently told a Catholic hospital in Oklahoma to either blow out its small candle or stop serving the elderly, disabled, and low-income patients.

St.

Francis Health System is the 12th largest hospital in the nation.

The health system cares for 400,000 patients a year.

It has given away more than $650 million in free medical care in the past five years alone.

It employs 11,000

Oklahomans.

St.

Francis' mission is to extend the presence and healing ministry of Christ in addition to providing compassionate and top-notch care to its patients.

St.

Francis lives out its religious mission by maintaining multiple chapels throughout the hospital.

Each has been blessed by the local bishop.

So what is the problem?

If you're a Catholic, you will understand this right away.

If you are not, let me educate just a little bit.

1960, they open their doors and they have a sanctuary candle.

If you walk into any Catholic church, there is always one either hanging from the ceiling or on a pillar somewhere near the altar, and it is in double glass and it is a giant candle that burns constantly.

The candle is never out.

This is something that Catholics

is the ever-present

representation of the living Christ, that he is always with us.

So this is a really big deal to Catholics.

Well, the government has come in and decided that they have to get rid of that open flame.

It's been there since 1960.

They got to get rid of that open flame because it poses a danger.

Let me explain.

The flame is not near medical equipment and patients.

It's shielded by two glass holders.

It sits on a brass basin, is affixed to the wall, has a brass top covering it, and sprinkler heads just above it.

But the federal government said, we're going to shut you down unless you put the flame out.

Well,

unfortunately,

there is an attorney that didn't like that too much.

And she just wrote Secretary Becerra and said, in 25 days, you will cripple the operation of

one of the premier hospitals in the state of Oklahoma simply because they keep a candle in the hospital chapel.

If you refuse to accredit St.

Francis Hospital South, it will result in such unreasonable financial losses to the St.

Francis health system that it would abruptly and immediately jeopardize its services to the elderly, disabled, low-income patients that rely on Medicare, Medicaid, children's health insurance program, yada, yada, yada.

If you go to court, you will lose.

I write in the hopes that you will see reason or at least the law and we can skip to the easy part.

That attorney is with us now.

Her name is Lori Wyndham, and she is part of the Beckett.

She's vice president and senior counsel at the Beckett Law Firm.

Hello, Lori.

Glenn, hello.

Thanks so much for having me on.

Oh,

I read your letter and it made me all warm inside.

Thank you.

So

this isn't about, I mean, the hospital has pilot lights.

They have flames that are all over the hospital that if you extinguish this one, you would have to turn off all of the pilot lights, but they're not asking for that.

This is clearly an attack on the religion.

You know, I have been doing religious liberty work for many years now at Beckett.

That's all we do.

And this one shocked even me.

I'm not easily shocked anymore.

But the idea that subtle agency

is going to come after your ability to serve the poor, the elderly, and the disabled just over a sanctuary candle when they're willing to make waivers for all these other things.

This is not how any of this is supposed to work.

So,

I mean, I like your confidence that you're going to lose, and you would lose with this Supreme Court.

But how open and shut is it

locally in circuit courts?

How open and shut is this?

It is open and shut because we have first the Constitution, which our federal agencies ought to be paying attention to.

And we also have laws in the book like the Religious Restoration Act that make it clear that if the government is going to restrict your religious exercise, it has to have a very good reason.

This is a textbook case of not having a good reason.

But I want to tell you, this is breaking right now.

We just got a letter from CMS saying that they have seen the light.

They are going to allow the candle to continue to glow and to light the chapel.

Now, see, this is even a happier ending than I thought we had.

Thank you for breaking that news.

So this is over because you guys stood up.

That's exactly right.

And that's what's so important to know.

You know, you get these letters from these federal bureaucrats, and they think that if they just tell the religious people, you know, you don't really have to do this.

No, you're going to pay, you know, this unbelievable amount of money if you don't give in, that that people are just going to give in.

And it shows the power of a single candle.

It shows the power of someone who's willing to stand up and say, no, this is my faith, and I'm going to fight for it.

I'm not going to buckle.

I think that, Lori, we have more religious freedom now than we've had maybe in 100 years.

And people don't understand.

If you stand up now for your religious freedom, I mean, people are putting the Ten Commandments back in front of courthouses and in front of the city or county buildings because you have the right to do it.

All of these things that have been taken down, the crosses and everything else, people don't realize you've won this now.

Put them back up.

Go, the religious liberty that you have thought you lost, it's back.

And some of this stuff needs to be challenged that you don't, you know, like this, they start to encroach.

Right now, religious liberty is very strong.

Am I wrong?

You're exactly right.

And, you know, we take some of these cases to the Supreme Court, and sometimes we're getting 9-0 wins, not 5-4, not 6-3, 9-0,

protecting religious freedom.

And so I think that right now, those who are opposed to religious freedom

are going to depend on, you know, on scaring people, on canceling people, on telling them, no, you can't do this.

And what people need to understand is the law is on their side.

The courts are protecting their rights.

It is possible to stand up and say, no, we're not going to allow this to happen to us.

So we saw the FBI target the Catholic Church, the extremists, you know,

and call them

extremists and possible terrorists.

And they are trying to infiltrate the Catholic Church.

There was another story, I can't remember what it was.

I read this story yesterday about another 19 Catholic churches that are under attack from the government.

And now this Catholic hospital, is the government specifically targeting Catholics?

You know,

I don't know where all of this is coming from.

It's absolutely a disturbing trend.

And I think that it shows that when people are standing up for their faith, others are paying attention, and some of them aren't going to like it.

You know, one thing I want to mention legally here, and some of the protections that have actually been strengthened is the Supreme Court has said when people start to do this, when people in government start to crack down on religious freedom and it's these really blatant violations of rights, they can actually be personally liable for what they had done.

The courts can actually go after them individually.

And that's something important for people to understand is that there are real consequences if you're going to crack down, if you're going to discriminate, if you're going to go after those who are out there living faithfully and following the law.

One last thing.

Your law firm is nonprofit.

You have been fighting for religious freedom.

That's all you do at your law firm.

Is this something if somebody is having a problem anywhere, they can call and run their case by you guys, or is it just Oklahoma?

We are nationwide.

This is at Beckett Law.

We'd be happy to talk to you.

We provide all of our services pro bono.

We are here to defend religious freedom.

God bless you.

Thank you so much, Lori.

And great news.

Thank you.

Thank you for that.

BeckettLaw.org.

Beckettlaw.org.

Don't take it anymore.

Don't take it.

There's this guy, this pastor up in Minnesota.

They just passed a law of conversion therapy, against conversion therapy.

in Minnesota.

And you can do it as long as you don't charge.

And this pastor got up and said, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Conversion therapy against anything

is free.

Conversion therapy against any sin, any problem you have, we'll treat for free because that's what we do.

However, because they say we can't charge,

which we don't anyway,

Because they say we can't charge, that's an encroachment on our religious belief.

And so I'm going to charge a dollar.

I'm not doing it to get rich.

I am doing it.

So they come after

and they learn their lesson.

No encroachment on religious liberty.

That is the only real shield, armor of God.

Put the entire armor of God on

and start pushing back.

and holding to our religious liberty.

Back in just a minute.

Speaking of this,

you know, the Catholic churches are probably taking the brunt of all of the Jane's revenge stuff.

And gosh darn it.

Gosh darn it.

They've put 600 people away

and come out with guilty verdicts on 600 people for January 6th.

But man, all of those churches and all of those pregnancy centers that have been burned, destroyed, vandalized, I just can't find them.

I don't know what.

And, you know, this is an honest, honest excuse from the FBI, but they're happening at night.

Oh,

I didn't know the FBI could only solve crimes that happened during the daytime.

I want you to consider helping some of these pregnancy centers.

Pre-born pregnancy centers are the ones that many times, in fact, they were the first to come under attack in New York.

Why?

Because they're extraordinarily effective.

When a woman comes in and she's thinking about having

an abortion,

they offer a free ultrasound.

Now, free is the key word here because nobody wants to see it.

But if you offer it to them free,

okay, yeah, because a lot of the women feel trapped and they've been told that's nothing but a clump of cells.

But when they actually see the baby and they can hear the heartbeat, 80% of the time, they change their mind.

That's remarkable.

Will you help them provide these free ultrasounds?

If you really have the money, $15,000 buys a new ultrasound machine.

The

$28 provides the actual testing of the ultrasound.

So if you can do $28, that's great.

If you can do $10 a month, that's even better.

Just use pound $250.

Use the keyword baby.

Pound250, keyword baby, or go to preborn.com slash beck.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Hey, so Vice Media is nearing a deal for $400 million million

to get them out of bankruptcy.

Now,

when I say this,

it might make some people

feel almost a little giddy that

just the next one in line that constantly said I was going broke and we wouldn't be able to hold it together and the blaze was over.

And, you know, we didn't get millions and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars from leftists.

We're still in business and they've gone bankrupt.

Some would feel guilty, but not me.

Well, okay, me.

But I shouldn't feel that way.

Now, here's the real point of the story.

Vice Media, listen to this, is nearing a deal for senior lenders

to acquire the Trouble Media Company out of bankruptcy at a valuation of around 400 million.

Nearly every Vice stockholder, including backers such as the private equity firm TPG Group, Sixth Street Partners, and media mogul James Murdoch, will be wiped out under the deal.

Who's James Murdoch?

He's one of the Murdoch boys fighting for control of the Fox Media Group.

Who's buying Vice Media?

Well,

it's

two groups.

It is the Fortress Investment Group.

Fortress,

aren't they one of those that are ESG?

Yeah, I think so.

And the Soros Fund Management.

So now Soros

has his own little media group.

I mean, he's got them already.

But again, you know, He's just an old elderly gentleman trying to do the right thing.

Right.

That's all he's trying to do.

And of course, Vice was a media organization

pretty much dedicated to all of his philosophies, right?

Drug illegalization, don't worry about sex work,

don't prosecute crimes.

That's what the agenda they are.

But you are such an anti-Semite.

Why would you even bring that up?

How much time do we have?

We don't have enough time now for you to defend yourself against anti-Semitism.

Look, George Soros outlines a left-wing philosophy.

That is what I am critical of.

I don't care about him at all.

I don't care what he does.

If he's just a a billionaire and he wants to go out and take his boats around and

do whatever he does, even

make our streets safer,

promoting,

let's make sure that we're growing good people, teaching good people, rewarding good people, and

keeping our streets safe, that's great.

I don't know.

Releasing murderers seems like the opposite of that.

And that is the problem that we have with George Soros.

But congratulations, Vice, for going bankrupt.

I'm still standing.

You're not.

But you get the privilege of working with Soros now.

I don't.

Stand up, stand, and hold the light.

It's a new day, I'm tired of rise.

What you're about to hear

is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glen Beck Program.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Just a quick update on the war and everything else.

The U.S.

has denied involvement in the Moscow drone attack.

They said it was ludicrous when Putin said, I think the United States was behind it.

I mean, does that look like the United States were going to fly a little teeny drone and have it blow up, you know, do no damage?

Now, my first response was no.

And then I remembered Afghanistan.

And

I hate to say, yeah, it could be us.

That's probably what now we would be doing.

Except it would have like blown up and thrown pink

confetti all over the dome of the...

Yeah.

All right, more in just a second.

First, let me tell you about Goldline.

Listen, I said earlier today we were talking about the banking system, and about

40% of the American people are very concerned about their money in the bank.

And I tried to say

at the beginning of the podcast, don't worry about that.

Your money is safe.

The government will replace it, okay?

As long as you have under 250,000.

What you need to worry about is the value of that money in the bank because they will replace it.

And even if the whole thing collapses, well, weimar republic they replace the money too they'll just print it and that's going to work in their favor because they are rushing to cbdc's uh and

what are you gonna have what are you gonna have what choice may i highly recommend you call gold line today i don't do this uh for an investment

I invest in gold because it's a hedge against insanity and the world will go insane when the dollar loses its

currency, the reserve status.

And that's coming.

Goldline has a special this week offering 6% in free metals shipped directly to you with a qualifying retirement account acquisition.

And we're talking about your 401k, TSP, traditional IRA, Roth IRA, Inherited IRA, SEP IRA, Simple IRA.

You'll get more precious metals if you switch over to one of those and invest some of your retirement in gold or silver.

Would you consider doing that?

Call for details.

Do your own homework.

Really consider it.

It's not right for everybody.

866Goldline.

866Goldline or Goldline.com.

Yeah, so that was definitely not us blowing up the Kremlin.

That was definitely, definitely not us, according to us.

I mean, I kind of tend to believe us.

I do too.

It didn't look like a serious attempt.

No, but neither did Afghanistan's withdrawal.

But that didn't look like an incompetent attempt to assassinate Vladimir Putin.

That just looked like something that like a Shigal.

It's not even like...

No,

I know.

Honestly, it looked like an incompetent attempt to fake an assassination attempt on Vladimir Putin.

May I just say that

the defense against it is getting pretty serious in Russia.

Russian lawmakers have called for the squadron of eagles to protect the Kremlin.

And I thought, I don't even know what that is, but that sounds,

you know, that sounds pretty bad, right?

Sounds, no, they just meant actual squadron of birds, of eagles,

to prevent against further attacks.

So

they might be evenly matched here.

I'm not sure, but

maybe that's just me.

Okay, I want to talk to you a little bit about something else

that's happening that we have got to stand up against.

This gender nonsense is just that.

It is nonsense, and we all know it.

We all want to be compassionate.

We all love people.

We should at least.

People who are different.

We should have compassion for what people are going through.

But there is no such thing as my truth.

And once you separate yourself from my truth,

you can go on and live a happy, healthy life as a society.

If you embrace my truth, all kinds of problems begin to happen.

Now, I'm going to give you two stories here.

Listen to this.

Matthew Voltz has been convicted for the sexual torture of his young daughter and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

25 years.

That's the distance between, almost the distance between here and September 11th.

Okay?

Doesn't seem a long time, especially for this crime.

He was serving as president of the Clark College Queer Association.

He started an amateur transgender pornography film business with three other people,

and they specialized in violent and fetish criminal content.

Criminal content?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, yeah.

Okay.

All right.

Don't know if anybody

don't clarify that.

Yeah.

I'd prefer if you didn't.

Yeah.

Not sure if it was criminal,

fetish criminal content like

you're watching somebody do something

that would be illegal in real life, or if it's criminal content, you should not even film that.

I don't know.

I don't want to go any deeper.

Thank you.

After Voltz and the victim's mother separated, he managed to win custody in 2018.

Now,

that's interesting.

That's interesting.

First problem, the court system.

You have a dad.

Now, I don't know anything about the mom, but I do know about the dad.

The dad is the president of the Clark College Queer Association,

and I believe he is.

I think he's, well, let me just read on.

So he brought the child from Oregon, next problem, to New Jersey, problem after that, where he exploited his daughters in videos.

The child suffered horribly until a tip came in and the police intervened and it culminated in his arrest.

Now listen to this.

I'm not going to get into any details.

What they found were 30 computers, cameras, digital storage devices.

The videos and the photos show just a living nightmare for this girl.

Now

listen to what she was surrounded by.

Adam Romero.

He was another male transgender.

Now, again, I don't know if that's somebody claiming to be a female or claiming to be a male.

I don't know.

He's another male transgender.

So he says another, which leads me to believe that

the head of the Clark College Queer Association was also transgender, but I can't figure stories out anymore.

Another male transgender who had been living on site, then child rapist Sean Allen and child abuser Dulasini Neko.

They were found to have aided Voltz in subjecting his daughter to what prosecutors called a vortex of darkness.

All four were arrested.

All but Necco pleaded guilty to various counts of sex trafficking and rape.

Necko pleaded to two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

Unlike now in Florida, child rapists in New Jersey are not eligible for the death penalty.

They were instead sentenced to 25 years in jail.

The child rapist, Sean Allen, is eligible now for parole in 10 years.

The judge said,

This is the most heinous, cruel, and depraved scene I have seen.

There is, the prosecutor said there is no hope that these people will emerge from

jail as better people because they are not capable.

Now,

that's the past.

That's the system completely breaking down because there is no truth anymore.

Okay?

You're not allowed to judge or anything.

All those people should have been in jail.

The child rapist,

he got out of jail, he should be in jail, he should have been in jail.

Okay,

now he's serving his sentence

at the Edna Mahan correctional facility for women,

along with the other guy, Adam.

who is the other transgender.

Neither of them have had surgery, and they both were raping the little girl.

So he,

both of them are put into the female prison in New Jersey.

A woman at the prison said that female inmates are already scared to death of the male prisoners roaming the halls.

Surgery is not required for them and some of them have undergone hormone replacement

therapy.

This is happening because the ACLU

bought into the lie, whether they believe it or not, that you can be whatever you say you are.

That's why if I ever go to jail, I demand to go to unicorn prison because I am a unicorn.

This was the ACLU.

They changed the law to ensure that men claiming to be women could be admitted to the women's prisons in the state.

That went into effect in 2021.

Now, this, they proudly announced, was a system-wide policy that includes housing in line with gender identity and not sex-assigned at birth.

Only a few other states have such protections in place.

New Jersey is a vanguard of states committed to protecting transgender, intersect, non-binary people in prison and their housing determinations, and it continues its path towards eliminating discrimination discrimination based on gender identity.

Blah, blah, blah.

You said that this is one of these, the other one of the states with this protections in place.

That's the word they use.

Yeah, yeah, protections.

Protections.

Protections for the transgender.

Criminal.

Yes, okay?

Not

the criminals who are women,

just the transgender.

They're going to protect them at the expense of the women.

Of the regular women.

The Edma Mahan Correctional Facility for Women is home to 27 transgender prisoners, including a man that the New York Daily News reported had admitted to having a most unusual taste for blood, end quote.

The bloodthirsty transvestite in question, Perry Cerf, is a sex offender who went to jail for murdering a woman and then dumping her body into the woods.

But

he didn't do it.

She did.

And so she's got to go where she's surrounded by the gender

she just killed.

In addition to the women's prison being crowded with bloodthirsty men,

two of the women have found themselves pregnant

from

these transgendered men who are now claiming to be women.

Lesbian sex doesn't end in

pregnancy.

Now, I hate to get all medical with you,

but I am a doctor.

This stuff has got to stop.

And the people who are speaking out, I love Dee Snyder from Twisted Sister.

We're not going to take it.

Okay, that is the

theme now, I guess, for the San Francisco parade, you know, Pride Parade.

And Dee Snyder came and said,

yeah,

I just want you to know there's a big difference between teaching acceptance and normalizing and even encouraging participation in a lifestyle that confuses young children into questioning their sexual identification through some sort of game.

And then the parents, in some cases, allow it, other cases they don't know.

You know what?

There was a time where I felt pretty too.

Glad my parents didn't jump into any rash conclusions.

Well, he has been

banned now from the San Francisco, and they are coming after him in every way that they possibly can.

This coming from a guy who sang really bad rock songs dressed as a woman.

Even he says, yeah, you know,

no, that's not the truth.

Then you have KISS.

Knights in Satan's service, you know.

Paul Stanley, he took a stand against performing trans surgeries on kids he got the heat this 71 year old 72 year old

from KISS

has just sold himself out at 71 he couldn't take the heat he says what he means means what he says everybody comes after them we're gonna ban kiss how many more concerts do you have in you dude

stop Stop with the platform shoes.

It got creepy long ago.

He said, while my thoughts were clear, my words clearly were not.

Most importantly, and above all else, I support those struggling with their sexual identity while enduring constant hostility to those whose paths lead them to reassignment surgery.

By the way, it's not even sexual identity, right?

That's not even what this is.

They would say it's gender identity.

Yes.

Sexual identity is who you you want to hook up with, right?

Not what gender you are, which is a whole nother situation, yeah, which is a whole nother lie, a whole other lie.

They can't even keep their narrative straight.

No, they've come to this point they're like ghostbusters and they keep crossing the streams and then something terrible can happen, right?

And that's what they do.

So

I just want to encourage you:

we'll never beat this ever

unless we identify what is true and what is not.

In Germany, too many people just went along because they were looking for somebody to blame.

The Jews are bad.

The Jews are causing all the problems.

Well, they weren't.

And they're not.

And

people just remained silent, and it became the narrative, and pretty soon everybody accepted it, except many people did not accept it, but they were now wildly outnumbered by their neighbors who didn't accept it five years before.

You must speak out.

Stand up, square your shoulders.

We are on the winning side.

In Land of Lakes, Florida, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is building a community called the Let's Do Good Village.

It's about a hundred homes that were donated, the land was donated, and then Tunnel to Towers built the homes there and therefore program participants.

The first

two families that moved in, Gold Star family and the family of a severely injured hero who served our nation, and there's more moving in, this is a special place where families will be able to come together and heal.

It's a place where their children can grow up and experience life together and learn from each other's pain and joy.

It's an amazing donation of land on which it sits, and thanks to your generosity, the houses are being built.

Let's do good.

It's a whole village, and hopefully, it's just the first of many communities like it that help our fallen and severely handicapped soldiers, firemen, and police who are either maimed or killed in the line of duty.

With every mortgage-free home, the foundation makes good on its promise to do good and never forget the sacrifices our heroes make for us.

Please, can you help them out by donating $11 a month to Tunnel2 Towers at t2t.org?

That's t the number two t.org.

10 seconds, station ID.

A drag queen star contestant of RuPaul's drag race show has been accused of raping a production assistant after a crew party in 2020.

The accusations were reported from a lawsuit against Darius Jeremy Pierce, a man who performs under the stage name of

Shangela.

Daniel McGarrigal filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles.

The victim alleges that Pierce bought drinks for the crew at the party many times, including McGarrigal.

He then allegedly invited him back to his hotel room to help him pack for an early morning flight.

Kids,

that's your first mistake.

If someone invites you back to their hotel room, don't go.

First mistake.

Unless

you want to have sex or you know them really well and neither of you are inebriated.

Okay, just a good safety tip.

So McGarrigal fell asleep, fully dressed, and he woke up, his pants had been pulled down, and

someone was behind him, and he started yelling no and couldn't fight him off, and

whatever.

So now he's suing.

Now, the transgender guy, he says, that never happened.

I don't know what happened.

Here's a lesson.

Don't go to someone's hotel room if you're inebriated.

Also, don't invite people up to your hotel room if you're inebriated.

All kinds of things could happen in today's world.

And the truth may not ever come out

because we can't recognize truth anymore.

Stay away from it.

Mm-hmm.

Pretty easy.

Yeah, well, at least would it prevent, what, 99.5% of these types of incidents.

Yeah.

You know?

Yeah, just about those.

Again, you don't get

for being assaulted, but you shouldn't go and you shouldn't invite them.

And then if you do invite them, you shouldn't assault them.

And there's a lot of different rules to follow.

But if you stay out of the hotel from the beginning, you avoid most of them.

There's really only 11 rules, really.

Yeah, 10 commandments and then love thy neighbor.

Love God like

you'll love yourself and you love your neighbor and all that.

Just do those.

Just do those.

Stu

does a show every night at eight o'clock.

Miss Tucker Carlson?

Watch Stu Does America only on Blaze TV.

Hey, tomorrow on my podcast, episode 184, Chilling, Veteran Destroyed by Deep State.

Are you next?

It is a podcast with Mike Glover, and it is

amazing.

This guy is, I think, truly an answer to many of our prayers.

He is preaching the right thing.

Unfortunately, the government doesn't want you to be empowered.

The FBI began targeting him.

He's a green beret, worked for the CIA.

He founded a company that was just teaching people how to be self-reliant.

And

that's the problem.

That is the problem.

You have to begin to ask yourself when you see the moves of the government.

You know and I know things are coming apart at the seams.

It's clear.

It doesn't mean we're dead or doomed.

It just means to any reasonable person,

You know, I can't live the

life that I used to live thinking that everything is safe.

It is not.

My money isn't safe.

My body, my family, my children, they're not safe.

They're not safe in places like school.

The streets aren't safe.

I don't know if the police are going to show up if you're living in a big city.

I don't know if what I'm doing is going to be criminal activity because there's so many new laws and everything else.

Nothing is safe.

And that's because the system is coming apart at its seams.

It wasn't designed for this.

So as that happens, a government that is for the people, by the people, of the people, would strengthen its people, not attack its people.

And I mean people from all walks of life.

Anyone who is saying, you know what, I got this over here.

You guys deal with bigger things.

I got this over here.

Anybody who stops or discourages or in his case calls them a potential threat and terrorist because he is saying, guys,

there's not going to be help coming.

Okay.

This problem is so big.

If there's no help coming, what are you going to do?

That's the principle that America was designed on.

And they say that he was creating little terrorist cells.

No, he wasn't.

He was strengthening communities.

That's all.

And he wasn't preaching anything.

He's like, who in your community has what?

How can you share?

How can you hold your community together if everything flies apart?

That's a republic.

Okay, that's what we were meant to be.

That's the original design.

Nobody's coming from a national government.

You do it.

And they've targeted him.

And the message is clear.

We will will destroy anyone unless we can control them.

Why would you target a veteran who served 10 tours of duty, five rotations in Iraq alone, elite operations, then goes to work for the CIA and the FBI?

When he got there, he blew the whistle.

And he's like,

something's really wrong here.

And now the FBI and CIA and everybody else is against him.

This is really

an important one.

His upcoming book, Preparedness, a Manual for Surviving Worst Case Scenarios, is a guide to resilience.

And that's what our government should be preaching.

Do you remember when we were hit by 9-11, Department of Homeland Security said, you should have food storage.

You should have this, this, and this.

Everyone should have a minimum of this.

They're not telling you that now, are they?

In fact, they're discouraging you.

If you are somebody that is trying to make yourself and your family secure and your neighbors, you're a dangerous prepper.

You're a right-wing kook.

No, I'm an American citizen.

So tomorrow, the podcast, you'll be able to see it

on YouTube, my YouTube channel, or you can get it wherever you get your podcast.

It's available right now at blazetv.com slash Glenn.

If you want to watch it today, it is really powerful.

You should spread the word on this one.

Let me give you a couple of clips from it.

This one,

this one is towards the beginning of the interview, and I'm talking to him about, you know, why are you a terrorist?

Listen to what he says about tech and the FBI.

They called you an extremist.

I believe you've been a white supremacist and a domestic terrorist.

Yeah, the interesting thing is I was labeled a white nationalist, a right-wing extremist, all these things, all these labels.

They even did

a liberal organization, I would say extreme organization media group did a hit piece on me that was like 30 pages long.

Like a lot of respect for coming up with 30 pages of fiction.

But I'm actually half Korean.

My dad was in the army stationed in Korea where he met my beautiful mother

in the army in the 80s.

And I'm like,

how do I become labeled a white nationalist when I'm half Korean?

Most of my employees are minorities.

I'm service disabled, connected, military veteran, like fit all the parameters of all the things

in that narrative, and they're attacking me.

And that was, that hurt.

I mean, to be honest, it was like, I worked for the CIA.

I worked in special operations for a long period of time in the Army.

And that was devastating to see that kind of attack on us.

And I think the problem is it started as

this thing that was unbeknownst to us because we were getting suppressed on all the social media channels.

Facebook deleted American contingency and blocked us out.

Shopify deleted my business account.

They literally said, you have 72 hours to collect your information and then we're deleting your account with no

like no way to rebut what they were proposing, that we were doing something wrong on the platform.

And not telling what we thought you did.

Not telling us anything.

And what we found out later was the government had a deal with big tech, and they were communicating all of the people they didn't want

on open channels, and they were suppressing our First Amendment rights.

They were shutting us down by destroying our business, and they tried to do it.

And by all accounts, they did.

If we didn't have the ability to flex and adapt, then we would have just been out of business.

But it was difficult, to say the least.

So it's amazing to me.

You're a Green Beret.

You've served honorably.

You have, I mean, you've done more in your lifetime to serve the country than I certainly have.

And

now your country

is coming after you.

That has to really hurt.

Yeah.

Yeah,

it's devastating.

I knew this kind of thing existed.

I experienced the politics at a high level when I was a sergeant major in special forces.

I witnessed that.

That's one of the reasons why I stepped aside because I was like,

I want to do something for myself for once.

I thought I selflessly served for a period of time.

I earned it.

I felt like I earned it.

So I stepped aside and said, I'm going to do.

this American dream, this entrepreneurship journey, which I grew up with, with my mom owning a small business in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

The devastating thing was I had no say in it.

I had no chance to speak my case.

And, you know, luckily for the opportunities I've been given, even here being able to tell my story, most people aren't able to tell their story.

And I'm afraid this is likely happening across the country.

All right.

One more piece from it.

I talked to him about Epstein and how everything seems to start to connect all of these stories of the past and people who are not being prosecuted.

And if they are, they just mysteriously die.

Listen.

And as you look at Epstein and the connection now with the banks and the connection with the intelligence community,

was he an operative

doing horrible things,

you know, a really horrible honeypot situation?

Was he doing things for either our intelligence agencies or others?

And that's why nobody's looking into any of this stuff.

So, you know, I have a TS, I had a top-secret

SCI clearance with both the CIA and the military.

I mean, they're very distinct and different classifications of clearances.

From everything that I've seen, everything that I've analyzed and assessed, all the news reports, because I've gone down the rabbit hole, 100% that was an Intel collection operation.

Yeah.

There's no doubt in my mind.

And

look, to give CIA credit, there's a lot of these type of things they do, which benefit our intelligence understanding, whether it's, you know, framing people or putting them in a weird way.

The benefit exists.

The problem is the CIA, because it's not held accountable for a lot of these things because they could stamp covert action on the document.

They could literally classify anything at any time period they want where nobody, because it's a compartmentalized operation, nobody will have access to that.

It's called a special access program.

I mean, I've been involved in special access programs in the military where only a handful of people in my own organization knew about it.

And so when you're part of a SAP program, when it's covert action, when you have no obligation to communicate what you're doing to Congress, to people, and it's just something that's done in the basement of a building inside of Langley headquarters.

That is a problem.

Because now we're...

How does that happen with no oversight?

You can't run a country like this where you have organizations and people that can say, we're not telling Congress.

That is no longer a country of, by, and for the people.

Yeah, it's very disturbing.

I mean, if you watch the recent congressional hearings with the head of Department of Homeland Security, the head of

immigration, the list goes on.

I mean, they've been getting the gauntlet and being grilled by Congress.

The attitude from the institution, from the government, is we don't have to say anything to you.

It's like you work for Congress.

Congress works for constituents.

Constituents are the American people.

We forget that representatives are there to do a job, to get accountability.

And what we're seeing from these questioning sessions is the government's attitude is we don't have to answer any of this.

We don't work for you.

It's like we've gotten this all wrong.

This is something we need to correct.

And your thinking will be very clarified.

And his solutions are.

I mean, his solutions are just to connect with people and just do the next right thing.

He's right.

He is right.

But you will have a clear view.

And that was so important, what he just said.

They work for us,

and they work for us to hold people accountable,

to not just enact laws and do things, but to hold people accountable, to get answers for us.

If they're not, you need to vote next time for people who will hold people accountable,

especially in your local and state-level elections, because

that can happen quickly.

Linda wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Greens.

She said, Lucy just had her 11th birthday since Ryan Rough Greens.

She now

waits impatiently for her meals.

She's always been looking for different food, which was her habit.

She initiated play with her frisbee, something she hadn't done in a few seasons.

She's my walking partner again.

It is like the clock was turning back for her.

Thank you, Rough Greens.

Linda, I noticed that with Uno.

I mean, I thought he was healthy and happy and everything else.

And then we started feeding him rough greens and he changed.

He became like a younger dog.

It's crazy.

Dog food is dead food.

That's why there is rough greens.

You put it on top of whatever you're feeding your dog.

And it has vitamins, minerals,

antioxidants, and probiotics.

Right off the bat, you should see a difference.

And wait until you see your dog a year after feeding them rough greens.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

You know, I saw a news story this week and it's really bothered me.

Our kids in elementary schools, they have an

eight

on American history.

Out of 100,

eight.

Eight.

Let me say it again.

Eight.

Our kids are not learning anything.

Now, that's what they're testing for,

and they barely know what they're being tested on.

And what they're being tested on is probably not even close to the truth by this time.

The last week of June, up to the 4th of July, I'm going to be in St.

George, Utah, and I'm taking our museum out for the first time.

Please take this opportunity to not just see

American history, but also to have it put into context for you.

You will learn more in this two-hour tour of this museum than probably you've learned about American history your whole life.

Don't just

see it.

Experience it and plant it deep into your children.

Priceless artifacts that some of which have not, are being seen for the first time in like in 100 years, some never

been seen before in public.

And we have things from,

I think the earliest thing we're going to be showing is from 1493.

No.

No, I think actually you have something in the 1300s

that lead to America

all the way up.

I think we stop at the space race.

Join us, please.

Tickets are nearing sold out now.

Get your children to see this.
