This is the Glenn Beck program.

Well, I don't know if you've heard, but we all have to get rid of our gas stoves because they're dangerous now.

They can really hurt kids.

So get rid of your gas.

I'm not kidding you.

So, Jamie wrote in about our experience with Relief Factory.

She says, My husband and I both started using Relief Factor.

We were surprised by the results.

We had minor aches and pains, and I had problems with my knee that just wasn't improving.

After about two weeks of Relief Factor, we were both seeing wonderful loss of pain, and my meat and my knee doesn't feel like it's being stabbed all the time anymore.

We won't be going forward without Relief Factor.

Jamie, thank you so much.

It's great to hear from you.

Relief Factor is not a drug, so it's not going to whack you out.

It has four key ingredients that fight inflammation, which is a source of most of the pain that we deal with.

Hello, Stu.

How are you?

Glenn, how are you?

Well, I'm good.

I,

you know, sometimes

Sometimes you can have too much faith in people.

You can think they're just not this stupid, but you're usually disappointed.

The husband of the Massachusetts realtor, you know, have you been following this?

A little bit, yeah.

Okay.

So

this guy, Brian Walsh, he was a guy who

was selling fake war hauls.

He was in trouble with the law.

I think he was maybe under house arrest for a while.

And his wife got another job.

She had to move to Washington, D.C.

She came up for the holidays and

then she was called back to Washington and nobody's seen her since.

Now,

there is one thing.

Now,

they have

taken him in.

He's not been arrested for murder, but they took him in because he He misled the police.

He said the only thing I did on the day of her disappearance was go out for ice cream with my kids.

Unfortunately for him,

he was spotted at Home Depot.

He was a noted ice cream purveyor.

Yes.

Home Depot.

Yes, yes.

He, you know, he was

going to Home Depot, and he showed up wearing a mask

and a hat.

and gloves and he bought $450 worth of cleaning supplies.

And what's weird about this, too, is he got lost apparently several times and then lost on his way to his mother's house because he didn't bring his cell phone.

So, anyway,

he's always concerned about cleanliness.

Cleanliness.

We're in the middle of a raging triple demic right now.

Exactly right.

You've got to wear the gloves.

You've got to have the mask.

You've got to have the cleaning supplies.

Exactly right.

So he goes home and he's cleaning up something and he completely forgets.

Oh, I forgot I stopped for cleaning supplies.

Sure.

And so they brought him in for that

for misleading police.

But there is something else that he did that is kind of curious that you would think, no, no one would do, no one would do this.

He, the day before she disappeared, he Google searched how to dispose of a 115-pound human body.

100,

specifically 15 pounds.

Yeah, 115 115 pounds now i think we should google search this because i'd like to see i'm not googling that yeah sarah you google it real quick sarah can google it google you just google it real quick and tell us what it says because i'm not googling it either pretty sure sarah's search history goes directly to the feds as it is so you might as well

so tell us what it says here um i mean does it give

Does it say like step one, go to Home Depot,

buy cleaning supplies, don't bring your cell phone.

What does it say?

Right away, the stories just turn up of the story you're talking about.

Why change it to 120?

See if maybe that would help.

The weight is not necessarily specific.

How about just

dispose of a human body?

How to dispose of a human body.

See if that.

Because I don't think the weight would just be like dig a bigger hole.

Right.

Right.

I put how to dispose of 120-pound body.

Yeah.

And scrap metal recycling comes up.

Scrap metal recycling.

Yeah.

Safe handling and disposal of harmful products.

Okay.

Okay.

More recycling.

What is the most valuable thing to scrap?

But there's nothing on how to get rid of it.

Nothing to get rid of.

But there it is.

Dead animal disposal.

Oh, there you go.

Ah, there you go.

Dead animal disposal.

Now we need to actually contact the fez and say, we think something happened with our producer and a 120-pound person has disappeared.

We don't even know.

We don't know where they are.

We don't even know their name.

Can you just check their computer?

I just want to make sure her computer is and check for Scrapman.

Check for Scrapman.

Okay.

I think like you're you're you just go for like I mean there's a bunch of movies I can think of.

That's the only way I think if I was going to dispose of a is that the topic he wanted to get into how to actually do it because I think I would go you've got Fargo.

You could go the Fargo one.

Yeah, I mean there's a lot of movies that you can go, but you know, it might also show up on your Netflix history if you're watching all of these movies where they dispose of bodies.

You know, I'm just saying, which Netflix movies feature a disposal of 115-pound female bodies named Joan?

It was in their Netflix search.

Don't know.

I just like that genre.

That's all.

Yeah, that's it.

Wow, that's really sad, though.

Okay.

Well, it kind of makes me happy.

They're going to find out who did it.

Yeah, because justice should be served.

It wasn't really bright.

Oh,

this would be a good plot to a movie where you commit the murder, and then I go into your house, Glenn, and I say, hey,

just,

what's your computer like?

And then I just go over and start searching terms that would lead them to you.

I mean, at some point, that's really going to happen.

Or here's what we do.

It's the old strangers on a train.

We just go out and ask somebody to murder somebody that we want to get rid of, and we'll murder somebody that they want to get rid of.

So I search how to dispose of a 200-pound body, but nobody in my life that runs 200 pounds has disappeared.

Of course, somebody that runs 110 did disappear, but I could say, I didn't search for that.

I was searching for 200 pound bodies, guys.

That would be

an interesting conversation.

And he'll search for 110.

And the person missing in his life, 200.

200.

You're just trading the murders.

Yes, that's all we're doing.

Okay, let me give you something that I think is absolutely amazing.

It's an 11-year-old boy named Jude Kofi,

and he was spotted from this local

television story on local news.

His dad is from,

where are they from?

Well, the story has it in.

They're from like the Sudan, I think.

They live in Colorado.

And this kid, he's autistic.

And he went down to the basement where there was an old piano.

He had never had any lessons or anything else.

And all of a sudden, dad's hearing a piano playing.

downstairs.

And he's like, what the heck is he goes down and his kid is playing the piano.

No lessons.

No No lessons.

Plays the piano.

You're going to hear in this clip him playing the piano.

No

lessons.

This is just him, this autistic kid, playing the piano.

Somebody sees it on TV.

If you've wondered, where are all the good people?

Listen to this.

To 11-year-old Jude Kofi of Aurora, Colorado, this surprise was music to his eyes.

Obviously, whoever said the best things come in small packages was never gifted a grand piano.

Jude's father, Isaiah.

So one day it just shows up at the house?

Yes, all for free.

Who does that?

The answer in a moment.

But first, the reason.

About a year and a half ago, Jude's dad heard a noise coming from the basement.

There was an old keyboard down there, but no one knew how to play it.

Certainly Certainly not his autistic son, Jude.

Or so he thought.

Isaiah then got Jude a larger keyboard to see what more he could do.

And boy, could he do.

The kid never had a lesson.

No one taught him any of this.

How do you explain?

that you're as good as you are.

It's a miracle.

You think it's a miracle?

That's what I prefer.

Bill Magnusson prefers that too.

Is he special?

He's beyond special.

His Mozart level is coming from somewhere beyond.

Bill is a piano tuner.

He saw a local news story about Jude, heard him play, learned how his parents immigrated from Ghana, how they're raising four children, and sending money back to Ghana.

What resources are left over to help this special little soul?

Yours.

Yeah.

Using an inheritance from his father, Bill bought the piano, spent $15,000.

He has promised to tune it once a month for the rest of his life.

Very nice.

And he's even paying for Jude to get professional lessons.

We're family now.

Somebody to just love your son like that by making sure that his future is secured, we are super thankful.

Yeah,

press the pedal: caring for other children as your own,

the defining note of humanity.

Isn't that amazing?

Isn't that amazing?

Really cool.

That is, I mean, I just think that is one of the greatest stories I've heard in a while.

Just listen to the words to this.

It's one of my favorite bands out of California.

What if they were broken, just looking for a hand?

If you could help or walk away,

if that choice was up to you, what would you do?

What if it you?

Where did all?

Where did all the good people go?

Where did all?

Where did all the good people go?

I keep looking around.

I don't quite feel like I belong.

Where did it all?

So where did all the good people go?

It's a group called Poor Man's Poison.

They

live in the farmlands of California.

I just love their music.

Very American sounding.

And their messages are really just great.

What if you were humble, just holding out your hand?

What if kindness prevailed and you were someone's second chance, just giving back

Doesn't sound so bad

We keep asking ourselves at least I do where where are they where all the

They're everywhere.

They're everywhere.

We don't see them because They don't generally make the news.

But all the good people, that's you, that's me.

The people who are looking for a second chance at life that have the ability to do something.

That guy was a tuner of pianos.

His father had just died.

He inherited money,

and he saw that story and he thought, this kid has got to have lessons in a piano.

So he takes his inheritance from his father, buys the piano, says that he's going to tune it every month for the rest of his life,

and he's helping him get piano lessons.

Where did all the good people go?

I keep looking around.

I don't quite feel like I belong.

Where did it all?

Where did all the good people go?

I just want to bring you the news today that the good people are here.

We're surrounded by them.

We're surrounded by people.

The problem is, there's not enough examples that we see, and we should start looking for them.

We should start sharing those stories, and we should start recognizing that

we've been given the opportunity, whatever it is,

whatever it is.

I wouldn't have thought of get this kid a piano.

I'm not a piano tuner,

but he did because that's his gift.

You are the good people.

Where have you gone?

Nowhere.

Just maybe a quick reminder or two.

Wake up and see the ways that you can help all around you.

Sad part is when they opened up the grand piano, they found a 115-pound human body disposed of inside.

It's weird.

But that was the only negative of that story.

Yeah, yeah.

That's too bad.

Did he look up piano tuners as well?

He did.

Here's our spotlight uh sponsor lifelock um there is a new story out today

that is just horrifying if you know what this means the dark web's criminal minds see uh the internet of things

as the next big hacking prize do you know what the internet of things is yeah it's like everything in your house is connected to the internet everything yeah it's your dishwasher your refrigerator absolutely every device you have or will buy is going to be connected to the internet.

Your Roomba, everything is connected to the Internet.

And it's, you know, just to make it more efficient and help you out, you know?

Yeah.

Well, criminal minds are now seeing this and saying, this is going to be huge for us.

So fantastic.

You are going to have an information hacking on you.

You're going to have, it will happen to all of us.

Now, can everybody, can somebody stop all of it?

No, because there's millions of these people that this is all they do is try to figure out how to get your identity.

However, the best service that I have found has preventative measures to keep you safe so they're they're on guard all the time, plus access to a restoration team if you do end up having any of your information hacked into.

So it is life lock.

I have lifelock.

I've had it for years.

I have it for my children as well because

they weren't using their social security number or anything else.

I wanted to make sure nobody was taking their identity and using it.

Station ID.

You know, when it comes to the

classified documents that were held by Joe Biden,

I don't know.

Did you hear this?

I

heard I have a whole bunch of classified documents that he shouldn't have had.

They weren't declassified.

Sound familiar?

When it comes to this story, I don't care about the classified documents he had, just like I don't care about the classified documents that Donald Trump had.

Now, I mean, if they were something like, you know, how to blow up the world, yeah, okay, I think maybe we should probably have, you know, some information on that.

How to dispose of a 115-pound intern.

Something like that.

That might not be the best,

you know.

But I just don't.

I'm more focused now

on the things we can change.

And there's some really good things that have happened

in Florida.

Really, really good.

I'm sorry, not Florida, but Washington, D.C.

Some really, really good things.

Jim Jordan is now going to chair the weaponization of government, the select committee.

Now, he's not going to be able,

they can offer impeachment to government officials,

but they are not going to have control of the Senate.

So we'll see what happens on this.

But they're going to look into, oh, I don't know,

everything,

the probe into the communications between the tech giants and President Biden's aides, looking for the pressure.

We know it's there.

They said, they openly said, yeah, we talk to them all the time.

We now, though, from the Twitter files that this was going on.

They suppressed all kinds of things.

And

should that be the way of the world?

Would you like it if you were on the left?

Would you like it if Donald Trump would have pressured to silence

the

media against anything that you were saying he was doing?

I wouldn't like it.

In fact, you had a cow when you thought he was going to do it.

He never did.

We've got to be really careful.

I know if Donald Trump would have called me and say, hey, stop talking about that,

I wouldn't have stopped talking about it.

That would have really bothered me.

We're the Democrats that this is an issue for.

Government needs to stay out

of the media.

All right.

How does your dog?

How's your dog doing?

My dog just got back from the vet

and she just called last night.

She said his blood work has come back.

He is just like a puppy.

And I I mean, I don't know what it is.

He is really getting to be an old dog.

He's 12 12 and a half now.

And for a German shepherd, that's really old.

He should be hobbling around.

He's purebred.

They've always had problems with their hips.

He's fine.

He's deaf, a little bit blind, but no cataracts or anything like that.

And I can't prove this, but I'm telling you, he's a different dog since we started feeding him rough greens.

I think he gave my dog a longer life and a healthier life.

I think rough greens has been a miracle for our family.

I want you to try it out for yourself.

This is not a dog food.

This is something you sprinkle on the dog's food, gives them probiotics and all the healthy things your dog needs to live a healthy, active life.

I have good news.

The ozone layer is healing.

Earth set to avoid a 0.5 degree Celsius change.

of global warming.

Good news.

Good news.

So we got that going for us.

Apparently, because we stopped using hairspray, the ozone is healing.

Yay.

We did it.

We did it, boys and girls.

What is it, 2060-something that's supposed to be healed?

Yeah, well, now see 2066.

Okay.

You take

some of the good news and you make it seem cheap.

Now you've cheapened it.

Have I?

I didn't realize that.

No, I'm wondering if it is because of the protocols or anything else.

Or,

I mean, yeah, there was the Montreal Protocol back in the day where they tried to limit the ozone hole.

Right.

Remember, that was a big story, I feel like, when I was a kid.

Like,

it was.

80s.

Yeah, yeah.

You know, and it was a big deal.

Ozone acid rain, all those things.

Yeah, all those kind of went up.

And the ozone was like, hey, it's a huge problem.

And a lot of people back then were like, no,

it fluctuates.

It'll open and close.

And I don't know if any, I don't, I stopped listening, you know, about 40 years ago.

Yeah.

So congratulations on that.

The ozone layer is

sealing back up.

There was a big story today from the New York Times saying that we've had the warmest years in history.

The last eight years have been the most warm years.

In history.

I think they said on record, which

is

intended for you to think in history, but in reality is not actually in history.

I should say.

Well, seeing that, you know, records have been kept maybe for a couple hundred years and the earth is millions of years old.

And I don't know about you.

I fully am confident in the record, the temperature records of the entire globe in 1879.

I'm sure they nailed it completely.

You're sounding sarcastic here.

Now,

the Biden administration, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, is now considering a nationwide ban, and you're going to say finally someone's doing something about it.

A nationwide ban on gas-burning stoves

following a new study that claims the appliances emit harmful pollution that has been linked to asthma in some children.

Wow.

So it's a new

study that claims

that the stoves emit harmful pollution that is linked to asthma in some children.

Oh, ban it immediately.

Immediately.

That's sort of evidence, right?

You ban it immediately.

That's incredible.

According to the EPA and the World Health Organization, gas-burning stoves emit unsafe levels of nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter, which doctor, I went to the doctor the other day.

He's like, you have too much particulate

matter coming into your system.

And I'm like, it's probably the stove, Doc.

So a December report from the International Journal of Environmental Research

shows that 12% of current childhood asthma nationwide is attributed to gas stove use.

So now we are thinking the Biden administration, because their Consumer Product Safety Commission is concerned with consumer safety, you know, they got a whole commission on that.

They're now thinking they're going to ban all gas-burning stoves.

So, just want to

put that in perspective for you.

A couple of things happen with that.

We all have electric stoves, but it'll go great with our electric cars.

If we do not have the capacity to charge as it is, but let's switch everybody over.

Let's switch everybody over.

35% of all homes in the United States have a gas stove.

Every restaurant you go into has a gas stove.

You can't cook on electric and do fine cooking.

You ever hear of a microwave, Glenn?

You ever hear of one?

I have.

Those are, first of all, can't be a good colour.

And you know what?

If you use them incorrectly, the bugs will actually pop in a microwave.

But if you slowly cook the bugs, you can have a bowl of bugs anytime you want.

If they're going to make us eat bugs, we need to be able to prepare them the best way possible.

Exactly right.

So now you got to give us one or the other.

So now natural gas, by having a gas connection in your home, we are polluting the inside of our homes

by having a

gas connection.

So

let me just help you out with this.

Now natural gas.

is not, we're not just not allowed to explore for it anymore.

They're now trying to eliminate it and let me just read this last thing here again by having a gas connection we're polluting the insides of our homes so that's not just a gas stove now is it

that would be a natural gas heater

as well

That would be a natural gas heater for your water as well.

Wouldn't it be great if we could put everything on electricity?

Huh?

Seriously.

Sounds great.

Did they explain why this doesn't affect adults?

They're saying?

Are they saying only some children?

Because it's probably unbelievable that it would affect all people

at all times.

And, you know.

I mean, I don't.

This is why I only serve my kids little bites mini muffins.

Right.

Because that's the only healthy way to go.

No, They only eat

chocolate chip mini muffins.

Yeah.

And then you never have to worry about any of their asthma concerns.

Nope.

Never have to worry about perfect health.

Yep.

You know, you would think maybe

banning cigarettes would be a bigger thing.

You know what I mean?

Banning, kid has asthma.

Hey, no smoking around the kid.

Now, I don't agree with this, but I mean, that might be a bigger step towards helping children with asthma than banning all gas stoves.

And they did come out with a thing called vaping that causes far fewer of these chemicals to come out of, if you happen to be a smoker, out of your cigarette or device.

And then the government has attacked that industry constantly since.

So

it really is fascinating.

Fascinating.

They seem to want everyone to die.

Is that a,

I mean, I'm just throwing that possibility out there.

What if what if the goal is

no more people?

Now that sounds hard to believe.

I mean, it's not like we they're still still putting Paul Ehrlich on TV saying

saying that we're all going to die because of overpopulation.

I know.

It's not like that happened this past weekend.

This guy who has been wrong for half a century, he has been wrong over and over and over again, publicly, in in print.

In humiliating ways.

In humiliating ways, saying that like Great Britain wouldn't exist by the year 2000.

Right.

By 1980, there would be no food left.

Right.

We'd be out of food.

Like, that has not occurred.

We have more food than we've ever had.

Yeah.

And he has missed on these predictions over and over and over again.

And then they bring him out, they roll his bones out there again at, I don't know, 100 years old.

They're like, hey, what's going to happen next, guy who's been wrong every step of the way?

And he tells us shockingly that we have all these disasters from overpopulation around the corner.

And there's not one question.

You know, before we go, could we ask you about everything you've said that's been wrong?

Can we, can we note that even if you happen to be completely guessing you would have a higher percentage of success, at least maybe to get to 50%,

you're at 0%

over a half century.

You shouldn't be on TV anymore talking about these things.

You know what's really great is I'm just thinking this through.

You know, if you're not allowed to sell your house, if it has gas products in it, that you could sell your house, but you'd have to replace all the gas fixtures in your house and change everything to electric.

That would do a lot to impoverish people.

And then once we're all on electric, electricity and everything

is on electricity, which does not seem to be the most environmental friendly thing to do.

And we have the rolling blackouts and the rolling brownouts and we can't keep our homes heated because we no longer have gas.

We're all hooked up to electricity and they're not shoveling any more coal into that plant.

I think this is going to be great.

I think this now Stu says maybe the goal is to kill a bunch of people, but that seems too harsh.

Maybe thinning out the herd

would be

would be better.

I mean, there's a lot of people.

I mean, surely we know a lot of people that should die.

You know what I mean?

We should just line them up and ask them, can you justify your existence?

Because we can't keep you alive.

We can't use the machinery.

of this great society to keep you alive unless you're pulling your weight.

Oh, wait a minute.

I'm sorry.

Wow, I didn't make that up.

That was George Bernard Shaw

when he was really kind of pushing the progressive movement.

Hmm.

Okay, well,

did I get that right?

I don't want to punish anybody,

but there are an extraordinary number of people whom I want to kill.

I think it would be a good thing.

to make everybody come before a properly appointed board,

just as he might come before the income tax commissioners, and say every five years or every seven years, just put him there and say, sir or madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence?

If you're not producing as much as you consume, or perhaps a little more, then

clearly

we cannot use the big organization of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive, because your life does not benefit us, and it can't be of very much use to yourself.

Wow, that's a really good idea.

That might be the slogan on all new electric stoves.

The Glenn Beck Program.

is crazy.

Yeah, by the way, do you know who's in

control of the Consumer Product Safety Commission?

Think safety, think products.

Who would you appoint?

Right?

The first name that comes to mind is, say it with me.

Go ahead.

Richard Trump Jr.

Jr.

Yeah,

the guy from the AFL-CIO.

So the guy who's the head of the unions, who was deep in the Obama administration, is now the guy that they go to.

Look, I can't help with consumer safety.

You know what I mean?

That cement mixer.

People fall into it all the time.

How many times has that guy Googled how to dispose of 115-pound woman?

So Richard Trump

is in charge.

He says every option is on the table.

The gas stoves is a hidden hazard.

He's planning on opening up the topic to public comment later this winter.

He says the banning the sale of gas-burning stoves is an option.

They're also considering setting emission standards for appliances because he says, children with asthma, you know, we're polluting the inside of our homes.

And

last month, Corey Booker of New Jersey and Don Beyer of Virginia requested Richard Trump take action against these gas stove emissions because it's such a

pressing issue and a

cumulative burden that impacts minority and low-income households.

Wow.

We got to get rid of all the gas appliances in our house.

When will America wake up to all of this?

Don't you see?

You know, there was a poll we took yesterday.

I tweeted out a poll.

What is a a bigger U.S.

national security threat?

A, Gates buying farmland.

That got 28%.

China buying U.S.

farmland, 68%.

Russia's Ukrainian invasion, 3.4%.

So farmland being bought up by all of these people.

This is part of the great reset that we...

taught you a year ago with the book, The Great Reset, that is, by the way, still on sale.

Buy it and get caught up because the new book is coming out that shows you the next steps, and it is even more terrifying.

But you will understand why gas stoves

are impoverishing all of us.

You can't have a real country that is a force in the world if you have rolling blackouts and brownouts all the time.

Why this push to get everything onto coal-fired electric plants?

Why would you do that?

Well, of course they wouldn't want them to be coal-fired.

Okay.

Let me just give you this.

If you put all of just the cars,

you don't have the transmission lines that could handle the load.

So you're not going to be up just the cars.

Now add your stove and your heater and everything else for about 40% of the nation.

You won't have the transmission lines.

No one's talking about building all of the new infrastructure and transmission lines.

There seems to be a big hole in the plan, or the plan is not what they say it is.

The Glenn Beck program.

I want to talk to you a little bit about MyPatriot Supply.

My Patriot Supply wants you to be prepared for anything that could be coming our way.

Some of them are really real.

And you should be prepared for any eventuality.

May I recommend you stock up on food that doesn't need to be cooked on a gas stove?

Stand up straight 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.

I want to tell you about the biggest threat to our country that I don't think

I haven't really heard anyone articulate it.

And it will come down to you and me.

Are we going to do anything about it?

The answer should be yes, but you have to be aware of the problem first.

And it's a deep problem that you are somewhat aware of, but I'm not sure we've talked about the real consequences yet.

We do that in 60 seconds.

Let's say you got a credit card, your balance is $10,000.

If you only make the minimum payment amount, how long do you think it'll take to pay that off?

The answer, unfortunately, is eight and a half years.

By the time you have it paid off, you will have paid so much in compounding interest that it's staggering.

And that's with interest levels the way they are now.

In Philadelphia, there is a story from the New York Times today,

and most people will not read it, at least most people on the right, because we're not reading the New York Times.

We read it so you don't have to.

There is a story about the meeting of the American Historical Association.

3,000 scholars gathered over the weekend in Philadelphia to talk about history and the future of history and how to write history.

And if I have time, I'm going to give you all of the ins and outs, but it is terrifying to see them talk about history and how it has to be done in the present.

It has to relate to things that are in the present.

And there are voices that are being squashed and pushed out that are saying, no, history must remain neutral.

You can draw your own connections and your own relation to it, but it's neutral.

We just report it as it happened.

That's not being done.

And it is a...

It's a frightening process because our history is being rewritten in real time.

The story, by the way, you can can find it if you subscribe to our newsletter in the morning.

I give you all of my show prep.

It includes a ton of stories that I just don't have time, but I find all of these stories to be very important for you to be aware of.

This one is as historians gather, no truce in the history wars.

And you can get that at Glenbeck.com and sign up for our morning news brief.

Okay, so

this is happening.

At the same time, there is something called the Great Narrative.

The Great Narrative is something that is happening with the World Economic Forum.

And this is the topic of my new book, is the new narrative.

And it's coming out in a couple of months.

And the idea from Klaus Schwab is, we have to have a new story.

Societies are built on stories.

We are built on our histories, our stories, our struggles, our lessons that we learn, the good things and the bad things.

So they put a team together in Dubai of all places and began to write a new story, the great narrative.

I don't know about you, but I'm not comfortable with a bunch of people who want to change the world writing a new story for the world.

I'm really comfortable in dealing with the good things and the bad things of history and looking at history as

a way to not make the same mistakes.

But history is erasing many of our mistakes now.

We're taking down statues that we used to have to learn and go, wow, that's a bad guy.

Really?

Yeah, we've learned.

Now we're just taking it all away.

The narrative is completely disappearing.

And at the same time, it is under attack.

We don't care about history.

I will tell you that

I asked you yesterday if you would join me in a project for the next 40 days, just write down every day, either in the morning or in the evening, things that you're grateful for.

It actually changes the way you process information.

You can look at it for yesterday.

We had stories

in the newsletter on it.

It actually changes the function of your brain, being grateful for things, and it allows you to think more clearly and differently.

So, I asked you to just make a list.

And let me see if I have my list here.

I wrote a list this morning.

I don't think I, yeah, here.

Besides all the family and personal stuff, these are some of the things that I wrote.

I am grateful for David Barton and Wall Builders, the team at M1,

and

allowing me,

talking to the Lord, to personally preserve American history.

This team at M1 and what we're doing, we are, because of my job, I am able, much to my children and my wife's chagrin, I am able to

collect American history and preserve it.

And my goal is to preserve it.

Even if it has to be buried in the side of a mountain or out in the middle of a field,

it will be preserved because I believe we're dealing with people, I know we are, that want to change our history and destroy our history.

So I will take the actual artifacts of our society and of our government, of our history, and I will preserve it the best I can.

And I am grateful for those things.

It is one of my,

it's in fact my top goal this year

is to help restore America's narrative.

And if I can't restore it, I will at least preserve it as much as I can.

The truth about America.

Do you know that today is the anniversary of the day that Common Sense was published by Thomas Paine?

Do you know who Thomas Paine is?

Thomas Paine was kind of a reject.

He was a tax collector, a reluctant tax collector.

He was over in England.

He was a failure at so many things.

And then he met a guy.

I know a guy.

Hey,

he's got a room on a boat.

Maybe you could go over, huh?

The guy he met was Ben Franklin.

And Ben Franklin saw something in him and said, you should go to America.

And so Thomas Paine did.

He apprenticed with Benjamin Franklin, if I'm not mistaken, for a while.

They became good friends.

Thomas Paine looked at Benjamin Franklin in the end like a father figure.

And he learned how to write, and he was a fantastic writer.

And on this day, January 10th, 1776,

he wrote something called Common Sense.

In it, he said, the cause of America is in great measure the cause of all mankind.

Now, why would he say that?

For the same reason I say it today,

not the cause of this government.

This government, what we're doing right now is not the cause of all mankind,

but a government

as envisioned, as Martin Luther King said.

These words have meaning in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

They have meaning.

Live up to those words.

We're not even looking at those words anymore.

We didn't know if we were going to go to war.

We didn't know if we were willing to break away from the king.

We were already, you know, having skirmishes.

The Minutemen had routed the British Army at Concord in April of the year prior, 1775.

New England farmers

were now under the leadership of George Washington.

I mean,

it was not good.

So Common Sense was published.

To give you some idea of how popular this was,

he wrote words like, we have it in our power to begin the world over again.

to try something new.

It made the argument that

we needed to break away from the king and do something entirely different

the estimated population of the colonies at this time was 2.5 million people

the

common sense the first printing of it sold 120,000 copies in the first three months.

There are books a lot of books that are published that don't sell 120,000 copies today in America with worldwide access to things like Amazon.

A hundred and twenty thousand copies in the first three months and by the end of the revolution half a million copies.

Now to give you some idea of how big that was,

if you take today's population and you compare the two, so it's apples and apples, that is the equivalent of 66 million copies being sold in America.

No book does that.

No book does 66 million copies.

You're lucky to make it a million seller in today's world.

66 million copies.

That's pretty amazing.

And it had a great effect.

And he was just applying common sense.

Common sense happened.

It got us to the Declaration of Independence.

It was such a stunning thing.

What America did was so different that even after the war

in 17,

let's see, this is 1789, I believe.

1790, this is 1792, they were still publishing common sense and it became a bestseller now in England.

After the war, they're like, what the hell just happened?

He writes this book in 1776.

1792, they're buying it in the streets of England going, what did he say?

Why did they do this?

But there's a difference.

And this is one of the reasons we broke away.

And I want you to think about this in the terms of today.

There were certain things in common sense that you could not say in England.

When he wrote it, he knew it was a death sentence because he called the king all kinds of names and

he called him a criminal.

So in 1792, we may have been free, but if you bought the copy of Common Sense on the street, and I'm holding a copy of it now from 1792,

You actually had to go into the bookseller because there were blanks on the page.

And you would say,

there are blanks on the page.

I know.

I can't print them nor can I sell them.

But if you want to commit treason, I'll tell you what it says.

And then you'd have to write it down in your own hand.

So you would go to prison or be executed.

And so they would write things like, oh, ye that love mankind, that you dare oppose not only the tyranny, and then there's a blank, but the tyrant.

You had to write but the tyrant because you were then calling the king a tyrant.

If you look, this is exactly what's going on right now

when Facebook is edited, when Twitter is edited, when the government says you cannot say these things.

It's exactly the same thing.

I don't need to change history.

By changing history, we learn the lessons.

We fail to learn the lessons.

We learn the lessons that whoever is in power wants you to learn.

Well,

I don't think the founding fathers wanted to learn any lessons that the king wanted them to learn.

They were talking about something entirely new and different.

England didn't get that right for many years.

We got it because of the Revolution and Thomas Paine.

But he wrote something else.

He is truly

a, he's not considered a founding father, but he is, he is part of that and plays an extraordinarily important role because he was the narrator.

He was the storygiver of the revolution.

So he gets us to the Declaration of Independence.

And everybody's excited because it's all fireworks and sunshine.

But what happens when winter arrives?

He writes something else.

Next.

Patrick wrote in about his experience with Relief Factor.

He says, I have such great results to report.

My knees used to hurt so bad walking around.

Sometimes even getting in and out of the car was difficult.

I am three months in and I hardly think about my knees now.

I'm in my 60s and I can tell you Relief Factor has worked for me.

Thank you so much, Relief Factor.

Patrick, thank you for giving it a try.

70% of the people who order Relief Factor the trial go on to order more month after month.

Relief Factor, feel the difference.

10 seconds, station ID.

Now, I'm going to give you something that you can actually do here in a second that revolves around politics.

Something huge happened in the country over the weekend.

And I'm going to give you the full story next hour, but I want to give you the highlights of it here in just a minute.

But Thomas Paine, we're losing.

Everybody's excited, and then we're losing because we have farmers fighting the battles.

And George Washington loses every single battle.

He crosses the Delaware, not the famous Delaware crossing.

He crosses it back going south.

He's in retreat.

So wait, how did he get back going the other direction to cross the Delaware again?

Everyone was on the march, and Thomas Paine was one of them.

And he was someplace not with George Washington he's hearing the drum and he hears the drum and he's thinking to himself these are the times that try men's souls the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will in this crisis shrink from the service of their country listen to this are you a summer soldier or are you a sunshine patriot we are in a crisis as America will you shrink from the service of your country

knowing that as he said he that stands by it now deserves the love and the thanks of men and women, tyranny like hell is not easily conquered.

Yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

What we obtain too cheap, think about this in our own lives today.

What we attain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.

It is dearness only that gives everything its value.

Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods, and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.

Britain with an army to enforce her tyranny, listen, are we not

in the same neighborhood?

Britain with an army to enforce her tyranny has declared that she has a right not only to tax, but to bind us in all cases whatsoever.

Are you being told exactly what you can and cannot do?

Is the federal government binding you in all cases?

And if being bound in that matter is not slavery, then there's no such thing as slavery upon the earth.

By the way,

after he wrote Common Sense, it may have been four, one of the first things that he wrote was

a whole

series on slavery, the abomination of slavery.

So he was against slavery, so don't count him out.

He says maybe the war of independence on the continent was declared too soon.

Maybe it was delayed too long,

but

it has to be fought.

These are the words of Thomas Paine.

This is our history.

Can we learn from accurate history?

He wrote,

It's such an expression, well, give me peace in my day.

Not a man lives on the continent but fully believes that a separation must sometime or another finally take place.

And a generous parent should say,

if there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.

Shouldn't we be willing to stand now?

Just with the debt?

Shouldn't we herald the people like the Freedom Caucus last week, who stood up and said, enough is enough?

Isn't it worth the smears and the fight today so our children will not be slaves tomorrow?

Now,

what can you do to help?

Well, you can be aware of one thing.

There was an announcement on Friday that you need to know about.

Good news.

The Glenbacks program.

But it needs your your support.

Last year, we participated in a miracle.

I am so grateful for you.

Tens of thousands of babies who otherwise would not have seen the

light of day began to draw breath because of something you were involved in.

We live in a pretty dark world, and I don't think there's anything that could call the blessings of heaven down upon our heads more than helping save the unborn.

The ministry of Pre-Born shines a light into darkness.

We this year would like to save another 80,000 lives as an audience.

Save 80,000 children by the end of this year.

We do that by offering money to pay for an ultrasound for pregnant moms who come in and they're not sure if they're going to have an abortion or not.

Ultrasounds change the decision 80% of the time towards life.

Please donate now.

Just dial pound250, say the keyword baby.

100% of your donations are going to go to saving babies' lives.

One ultrasound is $28, less than most dinners.

It's pound250baby, preborn.com/slash Beck, sponsored by Preborn.

All right, I want to show you the guardians of history.

Things are so bad with our history right now.

Things are being taken down and things are being put up that are absolutely inaccurate.

The latest is the Wall of Remembrance, the Wall of Remembrance for the Korean War.

If you've been to Washington, D.C., it's a lot like the Vietnam Wall, but this is for the Korean War.

And this is really a cool memorial.

It has these soldiers, these statues of these soldiers going through kind of like a Korean forest, if you will.

Well, they decided that they wanted to put a wall up with all the names.

$22 million

this cost us.

And I don't know, is it one or two decades to get this done?

When it was first proposed that, hey, we like the soldiers, let's put up a wall.

The Parks Department said, no, wall, no wall, we don't want names.

We don't want it.

Why?

Because when the Vietnam War wall went up, there were names that were missing.

Some of them,

somebody has to make the decision on who is actually a Vietnam War veteran.

For instance, one of the examples was a nurse.

She's flying over to go to Vietnam, but she's not engaged in Vietnam yet.

Her plane crashes in Europe.

Should her name go on the wall?

Some people would say, well, yeah, she was enlisted.

She was on her way.

Others would say, no, that wasn't combat.

That was in Europe.

And it had nothing to do with the military.

This must be an impossible tactic.

It's impossible.

That's why the Parks Department said, we don't want anything to do with a wall.

We learned our lesson.

We've seen this movie before.

Correct.

Yeah.

Congress didn't care.

Congress said, no, no, this is great.

We're going to put them all.

The parks department said, okay, if you do that, we want it in the bill that it is the Pentagon that makes the list.

We have nothing to do with it.

Okay.

So they were so adamant about it that the Pentagon, it was written that the Pentagon is the one, and the Pentagon could not take any outside advice or counsel.

Okay, let's just think about this for a second.

The Pentagon has to look through 56,000 names that they said died in the Korean War, but there were only 36,000.

So they have it wrong in the first place.

They went with that one for about 20 years.

Then they were like, oh, whoops.

I guess there's some other people there that died that really weren't even even there, had nothing to do with it.

They got it down to 36,000 names.

They couldn't take any outside advice.

So they've got a couple of problems with the wall now.

In fact, about 1,500 problems.

There are people that were there that were not listed, people that weren't there that are listed.

I like this one, Frederick Bald Eagle Bear.

He's an Army corporal who was killed as he rallied his infantry squad to fend off an enemy attack.

He's part of the Lakota tribe.

Well,

because the Pentagon's records were all on cards, you know, computer cards,

that I don't even know if you have the computer to use it anymore, and could not

use hyphenated names.

The guy who is called Frederick Bald Eagle Bear,

he's listed

as

Eagle BF Bald.

Not good.

Not good.

Eagle B.F.

Bald.

Yeah, not good.

Also,

I might want to point out that there's some other people that,

you know, they have their name up there.

And they, well, one of the guys was killed in a motorcycle accident in Hawaii.

Another guy who drank antifreeze thinking it was alcohol.

And another guy who lived for 60 years after the Korean War, had eight grandchildren.

He didn't die in a war at all.

His name is up on a wall.

$22 million.

They now say the whole thing has to be taken down and redone.

Wait, they can't.

They can't correct.

There's no way to correct.

Put some putty in there.

Yeah.

Whiteout.

Yeah, no, it's not good.

The whole story is in my morning briefing.

You can get it at Glennbeck.com.

It's an amazing story in its entirety.

But this is, our history is under attack from so many angles.

This one, just sheer incompetence.

You want to give the government the keys to truth and history?

Really?

Because they're not doing a really good job here.

Their own department, the Department of War, the Department of Defense, the ones that keeps all the records.

They,

we don't.

Nope.

Have no idea who these people are.

Now, let me tell you a good step, but it's going to need your support.

Friday,

Bron DeSantis

began a process of transforming Sarasota's new college of Florida into a little more conservative.

Now, this is a progressive college.

It's been floundering for years, but it is a, it's the new college, like the new school in New York.

It's a progressive college that's been teaching garbage forever and struggling.

So, because it's a state school, the governor said, well, it's floundering.

We could shut it down or we could reform it.

You know what?

Let's reform it.

So, he appointed six new board members, and they're a little more conservative.

The dean at Hillsdale College is one of them.

A senior fellow at the Claremont Institute is another one.

And Christopher Ruffo

is also on the board of directors.

Christopher is going to be joining us in about an hour.

So Christopher Ruffo, who is he?

He's the activist that has been exposing everything that, all the poison that is in our schools.

They hate him.

They

hate him.

You have to hang on that H

that long to describe how much they hate him.

hate him.

Okay, so here's what the Florida Education Commissioner said.

It's our hope that New College of Florida will become Florida's classical college, more along the lines of a Hillsdale of the South.

Oh, they

hate all of these people.

Turning New College into a Florida version of Hillsdale is flipping the entire thing upside down.

And DeSantis has just said it is time to take

charge of our schools.

Our schools are completely out of control and it is time to take them back.

A

men,

how many governors have the balls to do this?

I said this to you last week.

In Florida, there are signs that come up, and I think they may be coming from the administration, I don't know, but it says the free state of Florida.

And when you listen to DeSantis talk, he talks about always the free state of Florida.

Amen.

That should be a goal for all of us.

Why are we not the free state of Texas?

We are relatively much more free than places up north, but we're not the free state of Texas.

We should all be striving and pushing our governors and our legislatures to pass things that make us free men and women, unencumbered by this nonsense that is being jammed down everyone's throat.

So

here's what I want you to do.

I want you to read up on this.

You can find the story.

Just look for

Sarasota's New College.

You can get the story at glennback.com or just look for Sarasota's new college, Florida's new college, and support this in every way you can.

They are going to be coming

with switchblades and automatic guns.

They are going to be, it won't be a.22.

They'll be coming with proverbial.45 caliber weapons to this fight.

And it will have an endless, what do they call it?

Clip

of ammunition.

So we need to be prepared to stand up and fight back.

But that is fight back the right way.

You know,

earlier I was reading to you the

Thomas Paine American Crisis.

And in it, he says, in fact, I want to read it to you exactly.

In it.

He says, I have as little superstition in me as any man living but my secret opinion has ever been, and still is, that God Almighty will not give up a people to military destruction, or to leave them unsupported to perish

here's the important part who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent

neither have I so much the infidel in me as to suppose that he has relinquished the government of the world and given us up to the care of devils.

And as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the King of Britain can look up to heaven and ask for help, I cannot imagine how the progressive movement that is pushing the slaughter of innocents can look up and say, Lord, help us.

Knowing that as Lincoln said God is not on our side

he doesn't pick sides he wants all of his children to be redeemed and rescued so they are in error I believe

but

God does not want them slaughtered God does not he wants peace and love and understanding and we must do everything we can to remain peaceful kind loving doing all of the things that we can in our power, and he will pick up the slack.

But if we don't, if we are conniving or anything else, he cannot bless us.

So

do everything in your power and not one

thing more.

All right.

It is so hard to get good help these days.

Sometimes when you want to do something right, you have to say, no, don't involve Stu in it at all.

Anyway,

if you're looking for a real estate agent, don't call Stu.

Don't call Stu.

I would agree.

I'm not a real estate agent, so you should.

I mean, even as your friend, don't ask him.

Don't ask him.

Don't ask him for advice on anything.

If you were to ask me.

how to get a good real estate agent, I would say realestateagentsitrust.com.

You know why?

Because you have been under the tutelage of a master for a very long time.

Really?

That's why?

That's why.

That's why it would have happened.

And it's my company, and I'd fire you if you said differently.

Anyway,

the mediocre real estate agents are everywhere.

You want the ones that have the best practices, know how to deal with any kind of economic situation, know how to get you the best deal going in and going out of real estate transactions.

That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

We'll give you the name of somebody in your area that we think has the best practices and will give you the best experience.

We monitor these people.

We are in touch with you.

This is my company.

We want to make sure that everything is as best as it can be for you because I know how much it sucks selling or buying a house.

The Glenn Beck Program.

We have Callie Means on with us coming up in a second.

He is the author and co-founder of True Medicine.

And he has put out a Twitter thread recently.

He was just on Tucker Carlson as well.

He formally consulted for Coca-Cola,

and he said,

in my dealings there, I was in the room when the Koch people said, look, we'll give you millions of dollars, and we'll give it to the NAACP and the Hispanic Federation.

We'll give it directly and through front groups, but they can't call us racist anymore.

And he's blown the whistle on them.

And

we'll talk about that.

Also,

kind of goes right along with what he believes.

There is

a new sheriff in town with the American Pediatrics.

I think it's the American Pediatrics, maybe the AMA.

But they're now talking about gastric bypass for children like 10 years old.

And,

you know,

has anybody talked about, you know, maybe some sugar?

We get rid of some of the sugar in our own diets by choice.

By choice?

There's a reason why everybody else's kids, you know, around the world are kind of healthy.

They go outside and play.

They're not on the computer all the time.

And they're not eating an American diet.

Yeah, I don't know that they're all healthy, honestly.

I don't think you could make the general comparison.

We certainly have some cultural factors.

Yeah, I mean, not Russia, whose kids at 10, you know, are alcoholics on, you know, potato vodka.

Right.

I will say, like, I'm a little torn on this one because I don't, look, I don't think surgery for kids is a good idea.

Sure.

But on the other hand, I really do, like, I, I don't like the approach.

Okay, well, you can't control this, and it's a disease, and it makes me uncomfortable because obviously, if you eat less, you can lose weight.

On the other hand, I really want a fat pill.

Like, I 100% want to encourage these companies.

I don't care what the side effects are.

I'm growing extra arms out of my head.

I'm fine with it.

Wow.

Yeah, but look how skinny I am.

And I have a third hand to point to my svelts shake.

Right.

Maybe we can start selling arms in the black market and make it profitable.

Whatever.

He's an arms dealer.

Yeah, he just cuts them off his forehead.

That's amazing.

No, I look,

we can all say that if you just cut sugar out of your diet and exercise more.

Ah, come on.

We all know.

And then look at us.

Like, if this was just a radio show, maybe we'd have some credibility saying these things.

However, people have eyes and they can see us.

And we all know that if we eat better, we would look better.

And we still don't do it despite incredible pressures of our industry to look better.

I know.

We have an entire network built on people who look like us

with some exceptions.

And

there are a few people who look like us.

Obvious exceptions.

And, you know, with all those incentives, we're still giant fat people.

I will tell you that I am on a full-week cleanse.

Okay.

Against my will.

It's my wife.

Oh, and the doctor.

Hey, you didn't do this.

Shut up.

Doctors now.

Yeah, right.

Well, you remember.

Or wear a mask.

Yes.

Do a cleanse.

Now we can outgo.

Exercise.

Shut up.

Shut up.

We're on to you.

Callie Means joins us also

Christopher Ruffo, who is really going to change the new college in Florida with Ronda Santos.

I want to talk to you a little bit about Strive Asset Management.

They just put out a list of five questions.

In fact, I sent it out yesterday in our newsletter.

I want you to ask your financial advisor a few simple, simple questions.

Is my money being used in the last few years to vote for the kind of policies that I don't agree with?

Are you basing it on ESG at all?

Racial equity audits, carbon emission caps?

The answer most likely will be, I don't know.

That's not good enough.

Vivek Ramashwami is a friend of mine.

He founded Strive,

and he's trying to fix that problem.

Visit Strive.com.

Get the list of five questions to ask your financial advisor.

I really want you to do it because we are funding our own destruction.

Chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more, can make me feel like a spectator in my own life.

Botox, onobotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine.

It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month.

It's the number one prescribed branded chronic migraine preventive treatment.

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.

Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.

Alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.

Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck, and injection side pain, fatigue, and headache.

Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.

Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.

Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Why wait?

Ask your doctor, visit BotoxChronicMigraine.com, or call 1-800-44-Botox to learn more.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together, It's the corresponding.

It's a new day on time to rise.

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

This is the Glen Beck Program.

Hello, America.

So, we have wondered for a while, how do all these corporations,

why

are they going woke?

How does that help them?

The answer has always been, follow the money.

Perhaps that is just as simple as that.

A whistleblower, co-founder of TrueMed, a guy who was in the room with Coca-Cola as they paid millions to the NAACP to label parents racist if they opposed sugary diets?

It is quite a story.

Callie Means joins us in 60 seconds.

So the main reason why I feel it's necessary to prepare for a disaster as I come on this program, I encourage you to look into putting some of your money into gold or silver.

The main reason is I'm a student of history.

I have seen how certain things, especially the really bad things, tend to happen over and over again.

And we repeat mistakes.

We might relabel them.

You know, money printing is now modern monetary policy.

It's still the same bullcrap that it was in the 1930s.

It won't work.

We are not living in a capitalist society.

We haven't lived in a capitalist society for quite some time.

We're a hybrid and we're at the breaking point of that.

And the way our Fed has managed our money supply is completely reckless.

Completely reckless.

So what are you going to do?

I have shored up myself and my family with gold and silver.

Now, it's not like don't put everything you have in it.

Don't do anything crazy.

You want to spread your risk out across many things because you don't know what tomorrow brings.

Goldline has an awesome special that I want you to look into with every tube of the new quarter-ounce Mayflower Gold Commemorative.

This is to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower.

They're beautiful coins.

You're going to receive 100 of the same Mayflower copper rounds at no additional cost.

Don't wait to call.

These are going to sell out.

Call 866Goldline, 866Goldline or goldline.com.

All right.

You know, I don't think we understand

why these companies do what they do.

And I think

the first time that we saw company or we should look to seeing where companies change was Occupy Wall Street.

Those banks were being protested and they sat in front of the streets.

And most people think, ah, it just died out.

No,

I believe that there were deals made.

Look, leave us alone and we'll help you do X, Y, or Z.

There are very few giant corporations, I think, that are true

to, you know,

even their advertising.

You know, I want to teach the world to sing.

Do you coke?

We have Callie Means on the phone with us now.

He is the co-founder of TrueMed, and he's a whistleblower on Coca-Cola.

Hello, Callie.

How you doing, Glenn?

I'm good.

I'm good.

So

tell me your story from the beginning before we get into the Coca-Cola.

Tell me who you are,

where you came from, and how you got here.

Yeah, I was born and raised in the swamp.

I was born and raised in Georgetown, very ideological.

Worked in politics early in my career.

Worked for John McCain, got into, you know, most people after the campaigns get into consulting.

Then I found myself in the rooms with pharma executives, soda executives, and seeing some very alarming things.

So

slowly got out of that, got more into entrepreneurship, and

just kind of grounded in that public policy standpoint, had become very passionate.

I think when you look at what's happening with kids, 25% of young adults having pre-diabetes, what's happening to the health of Americans, there's something being rigged and it's a first-order issue because depression and disease is just skyrocketing, life expectancy is declining.

And I really tied it back to my early experience and

have a new company that's that's trying to change those incentives.

But

with the new son and looking at the world he's going into, I felt the need to speak out.

Okay, so you were

and were you on the side of Coca-Cola at the time when they were talking about the sugary drinks and SNAP?

Yeah, unfortunately, there's not a big lobby for diabetic children.

But, you know, so Coke's throwing a lot of money around in D.C., and the consultants are almost universally on the side of the soda companies, the American Beverage Associations, the various front groups, and pharma.

And so what happened?

You were there and you were fighting for Coca-Cola or big soda, and you were in the room,

and what did you witness?

Yeah, I think this is really instructive, and it's from 2012 and instructive now because this is up for debate again.

But, you know, this was around food stamps.

So food stamps is a program that 15% of American people depend on for nutrition.

We can debate whether it's a good program or not, but it's there.

And shockingly, 10% of that is spent on sugary drinks, 10% of a $110 million government nutrition program.

It's a material part of Coke and Pepsi's revenue.

And logically, people were questioning that, and Koch wanted to keep the status quo.

So the playbook they used

is the playbook, you know, as old as time and absolutely still used today.

And it's a three-part stool.

The first was identifying civil rights organizations, in this case, the the NAACP.

And what was shocking being

in the room as

kind of a bad scene.

I mean, these old Coke executives basically dictating what the NAACP should say.

It's very transactional.

They say the quiet part out loud.

Koch gave the NAACP millions of dollars, and they explicitly agreed to call opponents, in this case, parents who are concerned their children are ingesting 100 times more sugar than they did 100 years ago, racist.

It was that simple.

But it's bipartisan.

The second leg of the stool was, you know, we paid off

pay-to-play conservative think tanks on the left and the right, but the Heritage Foundation is a big player in the pay-to-play scheme.

And it's basically a corporate-owned entity ordering a study from the Heritage Foundation.

It's like going to McDonald's and ordering a Big Mac.

You get whatever you want.

And then the third thing is.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I want to make sure I understand this.

You're saying that

part of

big corporations' plans, which I absolutely believe, is to order studies.

But they go to the Heritage Foundation.

One of them, you say they're on both left and right, but one of them was the Heritage Foundation.

Yeah, and I think it's important to call out.

I mean, the elites on both sides are getting bought off.

And yeah, the way it works at the Heritage Foundation is you get a fundraising point.

The fundraising point escorts the Koch executives or the farm executives into the Heritage Foundation to meet with the scholar.

You talk high-level concepts.

And then the fundraising point, you know, basically guarantees that a study is going to say what they want it to say.

And there's an exchange of funds.

Interestingly, and I think importantly, I also have seen oil companies and other

special interests pay the Heritage Foundation and other conservative think tanks to not call something a tax.

I mean, you know, Grover Norquist, the Heritage Foundation, this whole DC influence, you know, network actually has redefined often what a tax is.

So you can actually buy publicity to rail against a tax, of course, but you can also pay these organizations to redefine something that's not a tax that benefits them.

There was something that I saw

that I talked about in the first hour of today's podcast of

there's this new study out by the you know greening of the world foundation or whatever it is, a global warming foundation, new study that shows that

gas stoves and all natural gas should be taken out of homes because it's too dangerous for kids with asthma.

And the first thing I thought was, oh, really?

The global warming study came back with that.

What a surprise.

And everything that we do now in politics is based on some study.

And

you're saying you can't trust the study from either side.

Well, you know, I think that's very importantly, and I think global warming is a great example.

When there's trillions of dollars at play,

you can guarantee that financial industry are rigging the institutions that trust.

And

I think the third place we went on this stop that's the playbook is I think actually the most important and I think the least understood.

Large, you know, prominent elite research universities, in my opinion, are nothing more than public relations entities of corporate interest.

They're exactly what Eisenhower warned about in his farewell address.

Exactly.

I mean, he said big military industrial, corporations.

and educations will just start selling out and producing the studies that corporations or the government wants.

Yeah, there's nothing more prominent or unimpeachable still today in the media on the left and the right as like a peer-reviewed study from an elite research institution.

But you've got to ask who's funding these studies.

You can have a peer-reviewed study, say whatever you want.

You can ask whatever question you want.

You can structure the study however you want.

So I think what's really relevant for this issue I really care about, which is the nutrition, the hijacking of American nutrition, is the disastrous 1990s food pyramid.

That was on foundational research from Harvard University, from the head of nutrition at Harvard University, directly paid for by sugar.

You know, it leads up to today to the latest NIH-funded, it's called the Food Compass, the most, they heralded as the most

complex and important nutrition study, you know, in modern times.

It says fruit loops are more nutritious than eggs.

And it's directly funded by processed food companies.

It says honey nut Cheerios is more

nutritious than organic ground beef.

So

that's still what I'm getting.

And you look at it,

Coca-Cola and processed food companies spend 11 times more money on basic nutritional research, funding basic nutritional research universities than the NIH.

And even the NIH is just a grant-making organization and in the case of this food compass I just mentioned is actually often, more often than not, funding professors who have other financial incentives to the topic they're studying.

So really we need to absolutely, like again, I'm looking at like PR consultants at Washington, you know, dictate to prominent professors what they should be finding in their research.

It's pretty unsettling.

So

how do we fix this or what do we trust as a,

I mean, personally,

I think there is some common sense in some people alive today that would say, you know, let's just, let's say, hey,

how about moderation in all things would be a good place to start.

But what do you trust

if all of these institutions are blown?

Yeah, so I'll talk, I think health is, is a specific area that I think is impactful to everyone and gives a framework.

But let's look at what has happened in health in the past 40 years.

I think the patient has been systematically disempowered and in fear, and really by extension, the American people, right?

It's like, don't self-diagnose, don't trust, you know, don't question the science, trust the science.

You know, the American patient has been battered into like not questioning anything and basically in total fear.

So, you know, the first step, and this is why it's important to get this out there, is to wake up a little bit, is to ask, look around your children's classroom, look at the fact that most children are obese.

You know, as I said, 25% have pre-diabetes, which used to be called adult onset diabetes.

You know, look at what's happening to the health of the adults and just start questioning things a little bit and question when you see that news article with the new peer-reviewed study and question whether it makes sense that fruit loops are more healthier than eggs or beef.

So that's the first part.

And I think that is happening.

I mean, I think we've got a lot of people speaking out.

I'm encouraged that a lot of folks, you know, nutrition's been an issue on the left, but I think the right's really waking up, you know, looking at male sperm count plummeting 50% in the past 40 years.

What do you think that's caused by any idea?

Yeah, I don't think it's very complicated, Glenn.

I think

the foundation of the American American diet right now, the foundation, is processed grains, which is basically weaponizing whole grains to take the fiber out, which basically makes it immediate sugar impact in the blood, makes the food addictive.

70% of food is processed food, which is the foundation is processed grains.

Seed oils, which is a very refined, cheap oil, and added sugar.

Seed oils and processed grains didn't exist 100 years ago.

These are new inventions.

These are process inventions.

And then added sugar really didn't exist until 100 years ago.

It's gone up 100x in 100 years.

So really, the foundation of the American diet has been weaponized to be highly addictive, highly inflammatory.

And it's just evolutionarily, we're not made to do it.

And we're being gaslit, right?

You know, just yesterday, the American Association of Pediatrics, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of pharma, but still a trusted institution, said that to combat this obesity that preteens are experiencing, they should get a weekly or monthly monthly injection for the rest of their lives, this new big pharma obesity cure.

So it's like, I really think that there's this axis where food companies have basically weaponized food, everyone's getting sick, everyone's getting overweight, but our trusted medical institutions turn a blind eye because there's a trillion-dollar spend on statins now, metformin, all these drugs.

Interestingly, all these things these drugs are treating have gone up.

Diabetes has gone up, heart disease.

So there's this blind eye from the medical system.

So, to answer your question, you know, it's education.

There's also some public policies.

We have some crony capitalist

systems.

I mean, and this, and this you can take to anything.

You think,

hang on just a second.

Hold on for just a second.

I want to come back.

Let me just take one minute to tell you about relief factor sleep.

If you have trouble sleeping at night, getting to sleep, the last thing I want to take is some drug.

I don't want to take a drug.

I don't want to, and they always whack you out, but there are times when you just toss and turn and toss and turn.

About four or five months ago, a relief factor came to me and they said, hey, we have this new sleep thing.

Do you have problems sleeping?

And my wife really does.

I do as well.

And it is completely natural.

There's no drugs in it.

And all it does is really just kind of just reduce the

distress and

help you relax a little bit.

But I take a couple of them before I go to sleep.

And man, I have the best night's sleep and I wake up refreshed.

Again, it's all natural.

Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800 the number four relief.

800, the number four relief.

Go to relieffactor.com.

Dream big, sleep tight with relief factor sleep.

10 seconds, station ID.

I mean,

it is so clear to me, at least, we're talking to Callie Means.

He is the co-founder of TrueMed.

You can follow him at Callie Means, spelled with a C, CallieMeans.com as well.

It is so clear to me when you look at us compared to the rest of the world,

something

is up with our diet.

It is clear.

And even common sense tells you we didn't grow up with peanut allergies.

We didn't have gluten-free everything.

We've done something really bad to our food and our diet.

Yeah, Glenn.

And to me, you know,

growing up as a conservative,

considering that my philosophy, I think...

I think it's good people are waking up on this because to me, it's a first-order issue.

If we care about individual liberty, right, the the most important thing is the is the ability of our brains and i'm not trying to get too deep here but like like our brain diabetes is cellular dysfunction it is literally the cells malfunctioning 80 20 of the cells are in our brain like like we are basically like like that is a first order issue of like our human capital.

And it's not just people being overweight.

Depression is skyrocketing.

Infertility is off the charts.

As I mentioned, the male sperm count,

PCOS, the leading cause of female infertility is

off the charts.

We really are facing, you know, and getting exponentially sicker, fatter, more depressed, and more infertile.

And that's a first-order issue.

And then you get to the market, and people say, well, we don't want Coke.

It's free choice.

I'm all for it.

I'm libertarian.

Let's have people drink Coke.

It shouldn't be paid for with tens of billions of dollars of a government program.

That's not a free market.

That's a rigged system.

So right now, we have rigged the system, and you do not have a free market.

And I think conservatives, even even some very well-meaning, smart conservatives that I know,

if you even mention taking

Coke away from food stamps, it's, oh,

that's patriarchal.

No, no, what's happening right now, the system is rigged right now.

The system is rigged to give a 12-year-old an injection of a pharma drug instead of talking to them and working with the parents to get them healthier.

You are preaching to the choir, especially with ESG and everything else.

They are planning on redesigning our food, what food is good for us, what's not, and it is all fixed.

I mean, I can't get conservatives who are in power to understand, and maybe it's because they're on the take, that this is not messing with the free market.

ESG is messing with the free market.

You've got the government and corporations designing where they want the world to go, and we're not really offered the choice.

We're being told lies, fake studies, or paid-for studies.

And

then we just find ourselves in this situation.

And I think it's getting extraordinarily dangerous.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

And you just, you know, you look at Bill Gates being the largest farm owner in the country, you know, making processed food.

It's just like you kind of start.

you know, going through the and it's, it's, you don't want to be too conspiratorial, but, you know, what is happening to the American people?

And

just

to your question about what people do, I mean, I think hopefully people are listening to this, and it's been a big awakening for me in the past couple of years, and just waking up and starting asking questions.

I think there's one actual public policy thing.

You got to ask with your public policy, what helps people stay healthy.

And I actually think it's a good policy, the FSA, HSA, which is very underlooked, these tax-free accounts.

What our company's doing is you can actually buy food and exercise tax-free.

Food and exercise actually often is the the best medicine.

And most people don't even understand that.

You can actually literally like qualify food and exercise and other lifestyle as medicine, save 30%, 40% with your FSA, HSA counselor.

Holy cow.

I'm not aware of that.

I'm out of time.

Can I have you back?

I'd like to do a podcast with you, Callie,

because I think this is vital information.

Callie, thank you so much for being on the program.

Florida, Ron DeSantis announced on Friday, is taking back education.

And he is changing the Board of Regents for the new College of Florida, which is a progressive university that's been floundering in lies for a while.

Did I say that out loud?

And

so

the Dean of Hillsdale is now part of the Board of Regents.

Christopher Ruffo is also a part of that.

You might know who Christopher Ruffo is.

He has been the guy who has relentlessly been exposing

DEI and

CRT and you name it.

He has been

the

linchpin and leading force against all of that.

He joins us now, Christopher Ruffo, Ruffo, a known Nazi supporter.

I'm sorry, with some more research, I and the Washington Post would like to retract that last statement as being utterly false.

Christopher, how are you?

I'm doing very well.

How are you?

Good.

I can't keep up with all the retractions.

You just got another one from the Washington Post, and who else, do?

Jonathan Shade as well?

Yeah.

Chris, can you walk us through the litany?

Yeah, so this is something that just keeps happening.

And even in the last 48 hours, I've gotten a major retraction from the Washington Post.

They wrote this ridiculous hit piece against me about my appointment to the Board of Trustees at New College.

The editors admitted to me and then had to retract four false statements.

And there was only four paragraphs in the story that were about me.

So they were actually

one complete brazen lie per paragraph.

And then the following day, which was yesterday, I spent all day hounding Jonathan Chase from the New York magazine.

And he too ended up retracting a completely false statement.

He made up a quotation, attributed it to me, and then I said, well, where did I say this?

He couldn't prove it, had to retract it.

But here's the thing, Glenn.

Both of these publications have done the exact same thing twice.

Last year, the Washington Post had to retract multiple false statements about my reporting on critical race theory.

Also, last year, Jonathan Chase, the same author, made up a quotation that he attributed to me that was totally false, had to retract it.

I'm starting to think that these things aren't a coincidence.

What do you think, Black?

Well, I don't go too far out on a limb on that.

You know, they know, the press knows, they can say anything and retract, and the retraction doesn't matter.

The charge is out there, and the print is out there, and it's online, and it will be forever online.

And that will be the part that is passed around about you.

I mean, we are dealing with really nefarious powers at work that know exactly how to smear and discredit people.

So let me go, let me take you to Florida here.

How did this unfold with New College and what exactly are you trying to do and the governor trying to do with education in Florida?

So New College is Florida's smallest public university.

It's on the beach actually in Sarasota, beautiful location.

But it's had struggles for years.

It's failed to meet recruitment targets.

It's at about half capacity.

They can't get students in.

They accept almost anyone, but very few students choose to enroll in the college.

They've had this kind of broken culture for a number of years in which even professors and staff members are kind of at odds with the students who are a very kind of left-wing progressive activist.

It's almost like Evergreen State out in Washington State that famously imploded a number of years ago.

And the Florida legislature in recent years has considered actually just abolishing abolishing the college, totally defunding it and transferring its assets elsewhere in the system.

But Governor DeSantis had a kind of bold and dramatic alternative.

He said, let's bring in a new board of direct, a new board of directors.

Let's get some really smart people that have the kind of strength that's required to do a reform effort.

And let's turn it around 180 and transform New College, this spludgling, struggling public university, into what they're calling the Hillsdale of the South.

So a classical institution of learning, of higher education.

And that is our task.

It is a big vision.

It's not going to be easy, but I think all of us on the board of trustees are excited to make it happen and to show conservatives.

It's time to stop seeding territory.

Thank you.

It's time to actually start taking back territory.

Thank you.

And it starts here with New College.

I will tell you, Christopher, the biggest mistake we made was ceding the colleges and just saying, you know what, when they get out into the real world, no, they're out in the real world now and they've changed the real world into this fantasy gobbledygook that they got from these universities we have got to start taking them back i have two kids ready to go to college i don't know where to send them i i and and i'm i'm terrified of sending them anyplace one of them wants to be an actress Good Lord, I've done everything I can.

I prayed on my knees for days on end.

Please make that wish go away.

She's really good.

She wants to do it.

I can't send her into, you know, the lion's den.

We need to take back education.

Absolutely.

But I think that I'm maybe a bit more optimistic.

I think there are really two key strategies that people need to adopt.

First is you have to make your own kids as strong as possible so they can actually go into the lion's den.

You know, when my kids turn 18, I have three kids at home, and

I want to feel confident that wherever they go, they're going to have their own principles, they're going to have their integrity, they're going to have the strength and sophistication to navigate those environments.

But of course,

the kind of even maybe more important solution in the larger sense is for us to create alternatives in education.

And look, we need to create alternatives in K through 12.

We need charter schools.

We need universal school choice, so vouchers so parents can start their own home schools or religious schools, whatever they want to do, matches their values.

And then higher education, you know, has been really kind of seeded to the left since the mid to late 1960s.

That's when everything turned.

And look, conservatives have not figured out how to do it.

I think that the problem, what I'm observing as I'm talking to people and navigating this new enterprise, is that the adults are scared of the kids.

Really and truly, they're scared of the students.

They're scared of the media.

They're scared of all the laptop people typing away

at the New York City.

You got to get over that.

It's like you have to get over that.

And I think that what we want to demonstrate with this is that we have the strength, we have the courage, we have the backbone.

We're going to hang very tough.

We're going to make a better university.

It's going to be more competitive.

It's going to be more rigorous.

It's going to have higher quality academic offerings.

And I think that what we've seen with Hillsdale College, where I've been fortunate enough to teach a course recently, is that the American families are hungry for this kind of education.

They are.

They want that classical liberal arts education.

They want students to kind of fall in love with learning.

And they don't want to have this poisonous left-wing ideology and left-wing bureaucracy drenching everything in their way.

I don't want my kids to be taught what to think.

I want my kids to be taught how to think.

You know what I mean?

How to find the answers, how to question, how to reason.

That's what I want a university to do, and that's what they should be doing, pushing you in every different direction.

So you see that, you know,

you should question everything and know how to question and know how to prove something using critical thinking.

But that's not what we're getting from our universities.

So

how are you?

Because it's a very progressive school.

How are the professors and everybody else taking it at the school?

Do you know?

Are you going to just shut it down and then

rehire?

You know,

the students, of course, are very rambunctious.

They're in a kind of agitated mode.

They're ready to protest and ready to make their voices heard.

I like that.

I think that's healthy.

I'm excited to engage with them as I go to visit the college in the coming weeks.

But what I've heard behind the scenes is that professors are chattering.

that this is actually a very good opportunity.

You know, a lot of people don't like what's happening in universities.

People who are in science and math departments that are more apolitical, people who are kind of in the political moderate section, they don't like what's happening just as much as we as the conservatives don't like what's happening, but they're not strong enough to create a defense for themselves, so they just give up.

We're going to create that space for people.

And I've looked at the CVs for a lot of the faculty at New College.

I've done an analysis actually of all the full-time faculty.

There are some incredible scholars there, people who are substantive.

They have Ivy League university degrees.

They've written on the classics, Greek, Latin, history, political science, an incredible math department.

And so there is a very, very strong core of faculty and staff that are absolutely ready for this change.

I think they're going to, you know, once they kind of put down the New York Times and

have a chance to talk to us, the new Board of Trustees in person.

I think they're going to be reassured that we're going to create a better university.

There are going to be hard changes.

We're going to restructure it.

We're going to bring in a totally new curriculum.

We're going to be abolishing the DEI programming immediately.

But after those changes, after that period of tumult and conflict,

I think it's going to be a great place.

And hopefully, when your kids are approaching 18, you'll consider sending them to new college.

So, Christopher,

I'm just sitting here listening to you and seeing the opportunity and the impact that you have made.

And it's kind of

fun to watch you

because when I first reached out to you, I reached out to you as the contributing editor of City Journal to talk to us about what was happening in Seattle.

And you were just at the beginning of all of this.

And

now look at the impact that you have made and the impact that you're going to make.

And this is just really the beginning.

How do you,

do you ever think about like, holy cow, I mean, I took something on that should have been deadly.

Everybody probably told you, don't, don't do that.

And

look what's happened.

Yeah, it is.

You know, I appreciate that.

And it's been fun that we've been able to check in really since the beginning through this whole process.

And it's been really fun.

And I've learned a lot of lessons.

As you know, it's sometimes

challenging.

It's difficult.

But I love it.

I wake up every day excited about what I'm doing.

I wake up every day optimistic about the possibilities.

And then I've been able to do something that I didn't plan on, but has been really fruitful.

I've been able to connect my ideas, my policy work, my journalism, my activism with people like Governor Ron DeSantis who have said, hey, this is a good vision.

Let's let this guy loose

and see if we can actually use these ideas.

And so I'm really kind of blessed and fortunate and feel very lucky to have able to not just sit in a think tank

in New York City writing white papers, but actually say, hey, let's use these ideas.

We believe in them enough to actually do them.

And I think that's the key thing.

It's like, I believe in this enough where I actually want to do it.

I want to stake my own,

take a risk with my own time and reputation.

Because I think at the end of the day, we're fighting for something that

most people want,

but really most people feel there are few champions for.

And I'm trying to do that.

I'm trying to serve that purpose for people.

Christopher, I know I'm sure that we've asked you before, but I would love to

do at least an hour podcast with you because I think you are fascinating.

You are really somebody who is changing things.

You're not just talking about it.

You are actually changing things.

And I would like to discuss in greater detail what the what the challenges are ahead and also where you get the,

I feel good in the morning, you know, where you you get the bright spots in education because there's a lot to move.

So

we'd love to have you on it as a podcast.

Thank you so much.

Let's do it.

Let's do it.

You got it.

Christopher Ruffo, contributing editor, City Journal, Senior Fellow of the Manhattan Institute, and now on the new Board of Regents for New College of Florida,

because Ron DeSantis is taking on education in a big way now in Florida.

What is my governor doing?

What are other governors doing?

It's a really good plan.

I mean,

you can steal it.

I mean, I'm sure he would give it to you.

You could just steal this plan and do it in your own state.

I'm just saying.

What you put on the table for your family matters.

That is the fruit of your labors, the proof of the promise that you'll provide for them.

And all too often, when it comes to the meat you buy, it's coming from overseas.

If you can afford it, if buying meat that is sourced from local farms right here in america is something that matters to you and it definitely should otherwise we're going to have more and more farms uh brought to you by bill gates

you need to try good ranchers our meat industry is under attack and this is a way to cut all of that crap out.

Support the good ranchers in America.

It's not only that all of their meat is grown here in the U.S., but it's amazing quality.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, Glenn, what's coming up right after a brand new episode of Studos America tomorrow?

God help me.

That's the people

just a normal conversation.

Oh, it sounded like it seems really legitimate.

Tomorrow's Glenn Beck program, we are taking on

the threat to our food.

You know, it's interesting.

This last hour, we've talked to a guy who, you know, is talking about the new food compass, not the food pyramid, food compass, that says that fruit loops are better for you than eggs.

Notice it's grains and everything away from meat and dairy.

Isn't that interesting?

We have that.

We also told you the story early on in the podcast today about

the fact that Richard Trump, who's now with the Consumer Protection Agency, is talking now about getting rid of all gas stoves and any kind of gas appliance, really, because it's too dangerous in your home.

Really?

They are moving on our food and our energy.

We just did a poll.

What's the bigger U.S.

national security threat?

Gates, Bill Gates buying farmland, 28%.

China buying U.S.

farmland, 68%,

and Russia's Ukraine invasion, 3.4%.

The threat to our food, the global takeover of America's land, farmland wars, is our subject tomorrow night at 9 p.m.

You can also get it at 9.30 on youtube.com slash Glenn Beck.

Go there, make sure you do not miss tomorrow.

Farmland Wars, the global takeover of America's land.
