I get so many headaches every month.

It could be chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.

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

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

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.

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

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

Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.

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

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

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

Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lugarix 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.

Let me tell you a little bit about Grip 6.

Grip 6, they are the greatest socks.

In fact, I'm wearing them even as we speak.

They are moisture-wicking, which I don't even want to think about.

They're naturally antibacterial.

Another thing that I don't want to think about.

You can wear them for several days in a row and they won't stink.

Another thing I don't want to think about.

Here's what I want to think about.

I love them.

I love them.

They don't shrink when you wash them.

They are, they never lose their elasticity.

You can stay warm in the winter, cool in the summer.

They're really, really great socks.

You're looking for some great socks.

Don't think any further than Grip Six.

Grip the number six.com/slash Beck.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.

We're so glad that you joined us.

Last night, it was about seven o'clock Eastern time.

I get a text from a friend.

We're voting tonight on a gun bill that literally no one has read.

This

is criminally reckless.

Well, I decided to talk to one of the people that were voting on that bill.

The gun bill.

Mike Lee joins me in 60 seconds.

Going online without proper protection for your personal information could, I mean, honestly, you might get the monkeypox.

I don't know.

I don't know.

But I hope the government is funding some sort of internet monkeypox vaccine that we'll all be forced to take.

But, you know, that's if we're all lucky.

There are lots of cyber criminals out of there, some with monkeypox, I imagine, some without, but every day they'll screw up your life.

It's really important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives every day.

We put our information at risk on the internet, and that's what Life Lock is there for.

They can't catch everything, nobody can, but they can monitor things better than you can on your own.

senator Mike Lee is joining us in case you didn't hear

John Cornyn and other very very popular senators

sold us out

and and worked on comprehensive gun control it passed the senate

did anybody read it I don't know Senator Lee, Mike, did anybody read it?

Did you guys have time?

Well, look, I assume that a small handful must have read it because there were a group of senators, 10 Republicans and 10 Democrats, who got together and wrote this behind closed doors.

I hope they read it, but I don't think anyone else had the chance to.

In fact, by yesterday afternoon, mid-afternoon, a number of news media outlets were reporting that they had the bill text.

Senators still didn't.

We received the bill text just moments before we were expected to vote on it, and it ended up getting an an overwhelming vote because basically all Democrats and 10 or 15 Republicans voted for it.

This is stunning to me.

This is not how the Senate is supposed to operate.

Okay, so, Mike,

tell me this, first of all.

The devil is always in the details.

You're an attorney.

Most of you guys in the Senate are attorneys.

So

you know this.

You can say one thing, but I'm I'm never going to sign a contract that is just a kind of a list of things that are in the contract.

Say, yeah, it's all done.

I'm going to read every word of that contract because the way it's worded makes all the difference in the world.

Is that, did you just get a list of stuff, or did you get the actual physical bill with all of the legal jargon in it?

And if so, how could you possibly read it, even if you had it for two hours?

Right.

We got the text of the bill, and a blind vote was required within an hour.

And so with only moments to review, no committee hearings, no regular order, a vote was held with implications concerning a pretty essential constitutional right.

And immediately after,

Senator Schumer, the majority leader, used a procedure is called filling the tree and filing closure, which means he's going to block all amendments.

It means that this bill text is now sacred.

It's now protected.

It's like it's on stone tablets, and you can't change it from here on out.

And this is how they set it up so that they can pass it as is without any amendments.

This is the Senate operating at its worst.

It operates at its best when people bring forward legislation, they propose something.

And the senators hold hearings on it.

They discuss the language.

They debate it.

And then they also debate amendments.

They say, okay, this provision here might be okay if you made these changes.

This one over here might be okay if you made those changes.

That's what the American people deserve.

They deserve better from the world's greatest deliberative body.

They didn't have that here.

So,

Mike, do we even really have a Senate process anymore?

Because to me, as an outsider, it sounds like you got a group of people, anywhere from three to ten, that get together, decide on what's going to be voted, what the bill is, then they put it in front of you guys, say,

you know, you have no time to read it.

You just have to vote.

Trust us.

I mean, I don't know the last time I heard a real debate on a bill.

I mean, you used to, when they were important things, we would watch C-SPAN, believe it or not, and we would listen to you guys debate back and forth.

I can't think of a time that that has happened in the last 10 years.

Do we have a Senate?

Yeah, we do.

We do.

And there are plenty of times where that has happened.

It was noticeably absent here.

And yes, we do have a Senate.

We do have a process for those things to happen.

And we routinely do use them.

But the problem arises where we don't use them, where senators choose not to do it.

Now, look, I've given you the bad news.

The good news is it still isn't over.

This thing isn't passed yet.

What we voted on last night was known as a motion to proceed.

It's a procedural motion to get on to the bill.

In a couple of days, probably sometime tomorrow, we'll be casting another vote that's called the cloture vote, which is about how to bring debate to a close, which seems

potentially perfunctory here because apparently what they've got in mind is no amendments at all and not much real debate at all.

But if you can't get to 60 votes voting to bring debate to a close through cloture tomorrow, then this thing can't pass.

So it's not entirely baked yet.

It's just mostly baked.

If we can convince enough senators to say, hey, this needs more time, this needs more deliberation, this needs more debate, then perhaps we can have a real process here, which is what we really want.

But

don't we have 15 Republicans?

Is it 12 or 15 that voted for it?

So you would need

14 last night.

Okay, so you'd you'd need at least four to flip.

Yeah, five.

You'd need five.

But see, Glenn, this highlights another issue that I've got with it, especially in an election year like this one, as contentious as it's become, and with a Democratic president who has become as abusive as he has of government processes and of policies that are important to Republicans.

I think it's disappointing, really, that we've got a bill that unites, as far as I can tell, all fifty Democrats, and it deeply divides Republicans.

Why?

Why do this now?

Why do this without at least any process?

Look, I understand the need for bipartisanship.

I understand that not every Republican is always going to agree with every other Republican.

But at least give us the process.

And that's why it's on that basis that I'd encourage my Republican colleagues who voted to proceed last night to strongly reconsider their vote when it comes to cloture.

Let's not bring this debate to a close when we're nowhere near ready

to fully understand this thing.

The American people really do deserve better here.

Who do we need to call?

Well, look, I think

a good place to start would be anyone who voted to proceed on that last night.

And separate and apart from calling, though, just having a national discussion about what's in the bill, about some of the uncertainties is.

And I want to make clear, there are a number of legislative options before us that do address or could address things that can be done practically to improve safety in this area.

One of those things is called the Luke and Alex School Safety Act.

And that's included in this bill, and it codifies into law of the federal clearinghouse on school safety.

I spoke in favor of that bill at a hearing last week, and that bill is included within this package.

And I'm open open to others, other ideas that tackle safety in schools head-on.

Senator Marshall has an interesting proposal, for example,

that would use unspent COVID funds to improve school safety and security.

And I could also support increasing penalties for straw purchasers who know or have reason to know that the gun they're purchasing is for someone who will use it in a crime.

So, Mike, is it true with these red flag laws that are in this bill that the money goes to states for school safety that

will adopt the red flag laws?

Is that true?

There seems to be money being held back from basically red states.

Yeah, I mean, you're on the right track.

It's not exactly that.

It's not school safety funds that go to red flag law states, but it's it's other funds,

these

criminal enforcement called burn jag grants that will be made more available to states with red flag laws than those without them.

And

there is really

bad, ambiguous, vague language in there that purports to protect due process, purports to protect the rights of the person

accused of something before they can take their guns away.

But the language is loose enough that that I think you could run a Mac truck through it.

And I think these states that have existing red flag laws that have no real due process

protections to speak of are probably going to be just fine.

They won't have to make any changes to them.

I mean, think about it, Glenn.

If somebody takes away a constitutional right from you,

don't you think that the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, if it's government taking away a constitutional right from you, don't you think that those two amendments require that you be given due process of law before they can deprive you of life, liberty, or property?

Yes.

I mean, we have two different provisions of the Constitution that say as much.

And so anytime we're tinkering with that, as I think we are when we give extra money to states with red flag laws, because red flag laws allow the government to come in and take your gun away without giving you full access to a full hearing in front of a court in which you can present evidence

to the judge and in which you can confront your witnesses.

I mean, we've got multiple constitutional protections at place here at stake.

It's crazy.

But also, your due process rights, your confrontation clause rights, your jury trial rights.

They're all being undermined by this, arguably.

We need to know what this actually does before Congress passes it.

Cornyn said last week he he was booed at the GOP convention in Texas.

And he said as he left,

I don't give in to mobs.

This doesn't bother me.

And I thought, well, that's not a mob.

Those are the people you're supposed to represent.

That's the party that you are supposed to represent.

What do you mean it's a mob now?

He's quoted as saying,

first guns, now immigration.

And cinema is quoted quoted as saying, that's right, we're going to do it.

So Cornyn apparently is

on the road now for

negotiations on the border.

Is that possibly true?

Please tell me.

Wait, meaning he's not in Washington?

No, he's in Washington.

Last Friday, he gave a speech

where he was booed at the GOP convention.

And he said, I don't give in to mobs.

I'm not going to give in to you.

And he was booed because of his work on this gun reform.

Now, apparently, he has said to Senator Alex Padilla,

first guns, now immigration.

And

Padilla smiled.

This is according to sources that he smiled.

And Cinema said, that's right, we're going to do it.

So apparently, he's now pledging his support for amnesty as well on the border.

Wow.

Okay, so

that's news to me that I would be a little surprised if you thought that was a good idea right now.

And so I wouldn't want to speak for him on this, but that would surprise me a little bit, especially given this administration's problems with the border.

I mean, that's basically killed any chance for immigration reform with an administration that has refused to enforce the border at all, resulting in the multi-billion dollar profits flowing into international drug cartels.

So, yeah, that part would surprise me.

But this raises an interesting connection.

If we were to do that,

I would be worried.

We ought not have a handful of Republicans empowering and uniting all Democrats in the Senate.

That's how bad policy is made, especially when you rush it through without the public having adequate opportunity to understand what's being passed.

Senator Mike Lee, as always, good to have you on.

Thanks for standing up.

Tell us what we can do.

I mean, we have millions of people that

want to stop this, want to help.

So I guess we'll start with those Republicans, Stu, if you can get that list of those Republicans that voted last night to proceed with this gun violence bill.

The devil is always in the details, and this is.

You know what, Mike, hang on, because I want to play a piece.

Do you have a second?

Sure.

Okay, hang on just a sec.

Let me do a commercial.

I'm going to come back.

Stu, can you get that audio that we were talking about earlier?

Sure, where this is just

a ruse.

And we'll play the audio and get Mike's thoughts on it here in just a second.

Standby.

10 seconds, station ID.

Talking to Senator Mike Lee, I want to get his reaction on this clip from Senator Chris Murphy.

It's about how, really what the real reason is they're trying to get Republicans to pass this particular bill.

Listen.

This is the broader mythology about gun laws, which is that if you vote for them, you are going to lose politically.

That is not true.

I mean, the mythology all dates to the 1994 election.

President Clinton, after that election, made a statement to suggest that it was the assault weapons ban that led to the losses in the 1994 midterms.

And so why I think getting this done is so critical is not just because the provisions will save lives, but also because by showing Republicans that the political sky does not fall when you vote for common sense gun safety measures, we will actually make it much more possible that we'll be able to pass further measures down the line.

You have to get that first step done.

You have to prove that theory of political harm wrong in order to be able to do anything else.

Mike, your thoughts on this?

Well, first of all, Republicans taking political advice from Democrats is always a treacherous endeavor.

It's not that they're never right.

It's that we've got different incentives.

We've got different constituencies with sometimes different philosophies on how government ought to operate.

And in any event, none of that, none of that justifies taking a bill of this significance with this much breadth to it and jamming it through in a matter of a couple of days before the public even understands what's in it.

What's the definition of criminally negligent?

Well, look,

if you

actively,

if you ignore a known risk,

you could find criminal behavior that, while not intentional, is designed to result in

or would naturally result in harm to others.

So for example, if

you close your eyes while driving through an intersection, not knowing or stopping to find out whether the light is red or green, that might qualify.

So voting on something that is this crucial to the security of the people and the Constitution without really understanding it could be construed as criminally negligent.

Yeah, and not in the prosecutorial sense, but yeah,

I do think it's negligent, and I think it's indefensible indefensible for someone to vote on something without knowing what's in it, especially where you've got substantial constitutional rights at stake.

And

it really is deeply concerning that this is how they see it.

And I'm especially concerned that we've got Republicans who are willing, fully willing, to unite Senate Democrats and enact something with, at best, an uncertain impact on a constitutional right.

Mike Lee, thank you very much.

We'll talk again.

First things first,

Cornyn

has got to go.

Who will run against John Cornyn?

He's got to go.

And

Turtlehead McConnell has got

You know, this gun control stuff could not happen at a better time in some ways.

You know, 20 years ago, we kind of trusted our government.

We did exactly the opposite of what George Washington said.

George Washington said, treat government like a fire.

When you're in control of it, it will keep you warm and it's fine.

It could be useful.

When it's in control of you, it will burn everything down.

We now are starting to, at least some of us are starting to look at the government, and there's no way the Patriot Act would have passed today, you know, assuming we had a regular Senate and everything else.

I can't imagine that the Patriot Act

would have come close to passing today because there's enough people who are like, uh-uh, no more power for you guys.

No more power.

Now we're giving them the red law, the red flag laws.

We're giving them the power to say, oh, you know what?

You've been, you've had some mental health problems.

Oh, you've had Prozac.

Whatever it is.

And I'm sure there's going to be a really simple way to, you know, combat this in the courts because you don't get to face your accuser.

So all of that is bad, but here's the worst part of it.

And this is the main thing that I think every American should be able to relate to.

And it should give them pause.

If red flag laws, now hear me out, if you're a Democrat or voted a different way, that's fine.

Just please hear me out on this.

If red flag laws become the law of the land, do you think that Hunter Biden would lose his guns or go to jail?

Looking just at the existing red flag laws, as well as the DOJ's model legislation about them.

In essence, a petitioner may approach the court and request a close relative, friend, student, patient have their firearm taken away if they have cause for believing that person will hurt themselves or others.

The judge has to consider multiple factors including criminal history, drug abuse, threatens or threats if they've threatened anyone, attempted or actual use of force, or even how recently the gun was purchased.

It's a pretty wide net, and it can catch whomever it needs to catch.

And conversely, let anyone you need to let through through.

Now, let me tell you a story.

2018, Hallie Biden took Hunter Biden's gun, wrapped it in a shopping bag, and then chucked it into the trash can outside of a supermarket across from a school.

When they went back to get the gun, it was gone.

Now,

somebody had gone through the trash, found the gun, and turned it into the supermarket, and the supermarket called police.

But like so many Hunter Biden stories, the chaos created some sort of a sandstorm which you can't find anything anymore.

And just tidbits of information emerged.

The main one being that the gun in question was purchased by Hunter Biden illegally.

Let me say that again.

This gun,

purchased by the son of the President of the United States, was purchased

in the East Coast

in a fashion that is illegal, and the East Coast, they come down on you like a bag of bricks.

Next to the question that you have to fill out when you buy a gun for a background check, are you an unlawful user or addicted to marijuana, any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?

The answer with Hunter Biden is clearly and was clearly yes, but he checked no.

Hunter recalled the gun in the garbage incident in a text found on his abandoned laptop.

In it, he

Can full to the top at Jansen's.

That's the grocery store.

She said she took it from me because she was scared I would harm myself due to my drug and alcohol problem and our volatile relationship and that she was afraid for the kids.

Is that red flag?

Hallie wrote to Hunter saying, I'm scared you would use it, Hunter.

I'm scared for your life, Hunter.

I love you.

I'm sorry.

But Hunter was enraged.

He texted her saying,

They think you're scared I would shoot you, you effing a-hole.

You now have me as an absence as an abusive pedophile with homicidal tendencies.

And that's now in the hands of the FBI.

So she said all of these things.

She told the FBI,

I'm afraid for our life.

I'm afraid for the children.

I'm afraid that he might use it on himself.

He is addicted to drugs, to crack cocaine.

It was in the hands of the FBI.

How long would you have the gun or be free on the streets if that happened to you?

In desperation, she wrote back, I'm at the end of my sanity.

He responded in multiple messages saying,

What right do you have, Hallie?

There are five guns in my dad's house.

There are effing more weapons in your son's room than in an armory.

What's my F up?

Owning a gun?

How, Hallie, is that wrong?

It's only wrong if you make me out to be unstable.

I'm proven unstable when you put a gun in the trash can at Jansen's out of fear.

Hmm.

Then again, in a separate message, he writes, what fear?

Hunter is either insane, homicidal, or just a drug addict.

He finally ended the conversation saying, you're right, Hallie, my life is meaningless.

There were no charges filed as a result of this incident.

None.

If you voted for

Joe Biden, And you believe in all of these red flag laws, then why isn't Hunter Biden in jail today?

If you really believe these people in Washington to believe this, then why wouldn't just a good father

say, you know, dude, you've got to pay a price for your behavior.

And now, even though it added

to the unraveling of Hunter and Hallie's toxic relationship, no legal consequences.

Now, the agency denied it.

Even Politico reported the Secret Service was likely involved.

But the agency, the FBI said, no, that didn't happen.

What, how did the, what

you and I both know, you and I both know

that

the ramifications

of Hunter Biden's activities and his tragic saga go well beyond Hunter Biden because they are teaching people a lesson.

We are moving towards a society that has a ruling class that lives above their own edicts.

They tell us they know better.

They tell us that our neighbors and even some of us are dangerous while ignoring the dangers in their own lives or in their own families.

We now expect that our leaders and those that have favor with those leaders will not face any consequences.

And even if you are a leader, if you don't play games with the leadership, you're out.

Look at Elon Musk.

Elon Musk now has the number one car

for rated on how much of it is built in America.

Number one.

Yet he's thrown under the bus.

He, I guess, is not American enough.

We saw it during COVID-19, and we will see it again with gun regulations.

The rules for thee and not for me.

This is why Americans cannot give an inch, not one inch of our liberty away on the grounds of the government's good faith.

They have no good faith left.

They have violated every single principle of liberty and they've done it in the name that they know better.

Follow the science.

Follow the experts.

Well, they're the experts.

They're the ones who have screwed this up.

The American people have not screwed this up.

The American people are not the reason why our

government is so corrupt, other than the fact that we continue to vote them into office.

We weren't the ones running the Fed.

We're not the ones at the money printing shop at the Treasury.

We're not the ones that are screaming for war.

Even if red flaws were not flatly unconstitutional and a threat to all of our liberty, which they are,

They should still be resisted for the very reason that the political elite cannot be trusted.

Our political bettors continue to surround themselves with armed guards.

They continue to shield themselves from the laws that they themselves enact.

When you have the Capitol police colluding with the leadership

because the police work for them,

when you have the Secret Service and the FBI colluding on crimes

with our political leadership, they cannot be trusted.

That is why they want your guns gone.

It's not anything to do with our kids.

It has nothing to do with anything.

Again, I go back to George Washington.

When the government fears the people,

there is freedom.

government when the people fear the government there is tyranny

the only equalizer is the gun

well you can't fight the United States military I don't know I mean we don't have any caves to hide in but it seemed to work well in Afghanistan didn't it

they're shielding these themselves from the laws that they enact themselves.

And at the same time, they're calling on us to strip each other of our rights.

They want us to do it.

Don't be fooled.

Don't be fooled.

Just as we saw during COVID-19,

just as we saw with the Patriot Act that is now being horribly abused by the people in power that swore they'd never abuse it, red flags are not about your safety.

Period.

They are about your submission.

Back in a minute.

Our sponsor this half hour is My Pillow.

By the way, before I get to My Pillow, let me tell you we have an incredible show tonight at 9 p.m.

on Blaze TV.

It is about abolishing the Department of Education.

The Department of Education is so far out of control.

And we have, we're going to spend a few minutes showing you, you already know what the problem is, but showing you how deep the problem is.

And we're going to concentrate tonight on teachers' unions and the

Department of Education.

If we could, if we could abolish the Department of Education, the control would go back to you and the parents.

You know, I think we have twisted the first responder stuff up into knots where we don't even understand it.

When our founders wrote the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, there were towns where you were required to have a gun.

If you came into town, they issued you a gun if you didn't have one

because you were required to stop things that you saw.

So, in other words, if somebody was, you know, on a rampage and you had a gun and you didn't do anything about it, you could be held partially responsible.

Now we're telling, now people believe this lie that no good guys ever involve themselves and stop things.

When you look at Yavaldi and it's like the police didn't stop it, but the parents, if they would have had the guns, the parents would have.

Didn't the New York Times just do a story on this, Stu, on the number of.

Yeah, it's fascinating

because I think they are that what they're trying to say is something totally different than what I take from this, but that's not a surprise.

They say there's 433 active shootings

attacks that they looked at.

And of those, 249 ended before police arrived.

So they were completely over before police arrived, which is 58%.

So half.

Oh, my gosh.

That should tell you, I think this is what it tells you.

You should have a gun.

Yeah.

You should have a gun.

You should carry it.

Because it's over before.

Yeah.

It's over before police can even respond to it.

Yeah, you know, Uvaldi is getting all this criticism, and much of it seems deserved, but like,

regardless of how good the response is from police, you are left on your own.

You are the first responder in 58% of active shooting cases.

58%.

It's a massive, massive story.

Wow.

And of course, the New York Times gets it wrong.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together, it's the corresponding

stand up straight and hold the line.

It's a new day I'm turned to rise.

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

This is the Glenbach program.

Hello, America.

Tonight at nine o'clock, I'm doing a Wednesday night special on Blaze TV all about what's happening in our schools and what can be done.

I believe it is...

it's far past time that we abolish the Department of Education.

And I'm looking for people that will actually abolish some of these agencies.

You don't have to believe in the deep state.

All you have to believe in is that there's a bunch of people that go to work in Washington every day.

They've been working there forever and they don't care what the election says because they're doing their thing and they've got well-laid plans.

And in the Department of Education, those plans, those marching orders, are all

really coordinated with the teachers' unions.

It has to be abolished.

There's an attorney general in Missouri.

His name is Eric Schmidt.

He is, I think he's fantastic.

He has been a leader in the ESG or the anti-ESG

movement, trying to stop it in Missouri.

He is also strong on education and schooling.

He's currently running for the U.S.

Senate.

He looks like he would be 13 points ahead of his Democratic contender if he wins.

That's really good.

The other guy is tied.

We cannot,

cannot lose a seat, even to a wishy-washy Republican.

Eric is not wishy-washy.

He joins us next to talk about what's happening with the Biden administration taking our school lunch money and tying it to our gender policies in our schools.

You don't participate in all the gender stuff they say.

Your school doesn't get federal lunch money.

We talked to Eric about that in 60 seconds.

Real Estate Agents I Trust is

a company that I started maybe eight years ago with my brother Robert.

And I'll tell you, it is...

It's a a great blessing to us.

It was started as something that the two of us were frustrated with.

I had never had a good real estate agent because I didn't know how to find a good real estate agent.

You know, you just ask somebody at church or somebody you know or, you know, somebody's like, I got a cousin who does it part-time.

And you don't know what to do.

So you just hire them.

I don't even know how to screen them or it didn't.

Robert was the same way.

He was having a hard time selling his house.

He was going through real estate agents.

I started working with the 500 best real estate agents, according to the Wall Street Journal, on another project and I got to know them and they all had certain traits.

They all had best practices that every one of them did.

And I realized that is what we need to look for in a real estate agent.

Those are the qualities.

So we've done that.

This is a free service to you.

We've pre-screened these real estate agents all over the country.

They don't work for us, but they do kind of answer to us.

If they're not doing the right thing by the clients and if they're not using those best practices, then we won't pass on anybody's name.

We want you to just interview them.

If you're looking for a real estate agent, whether you're buying or selling a house on the same street or across the country, you go to realestateagentsitrust.com and get the name of the best agent in your area.

Welcome to Eric Schmidt.

He is currently the Missouri Attorney General and been on the program several times.

He's a friend of the program because he is not a friend of ESG, and he has been working against not only that, but an out-of-control federal government.

Eric, welcome to the program.

How are you?

I'm great, Glenn.

It's great to be back with you.

So you wrote a letter to Joe Biden about

the

lunch money being held back from states and from schools that are not participating in the gender bathrooms and everything else.

I can't imagine how this is even legal for them to do, but can you walk us through this?

Yeah, it's not legal.

And I think, you know, you, the intro here to this segment is very important to give context.

The administrative state is antithetical to this country and what it's all about.

The founders set up a system of self-government.

You could send people there and you could send them home, but they were accountable to the voters.

The deputy undersecretary of the Department of Education or the EPA is accountable to no one.

No one knows who it is, and yet that person can issue guidance letters, rules, opinions that can affect millions of Americans.

And we need to, one of the reasons I'm running for the United States Senate is we need to fundamentally dismantle the administrative state from top to bottom.

It's grown out of control.

And this is the most recent example.

You've got the Biden administration now tying lunch money to gender identity politics.

And what does that mean?

Well, if you don't, if your state doesn't allow or prohibits men competing in women's sports, you'd be ineligible.

If you don't have, you know,

these gender-neutral bathrooms,

you're ineligible.

So the reach is hard to fully comprehend because we really don't know what it means, but it's the most cowardly way to do it because The way you're supposed to go about affecting things in this country is the elected representatives pass a law, right?

And we all learn about the separation of powers and there's certain checks there.

Administrative agencies often issue rules that go through some scrutiny and are the basis of a lot of our legal challenges because they don't follow the rules or they're unconstitutional or it's something Congress should be doing.

Or in this instance, they just send a letter, Glenn.

They just write a letter and create this chaos and say this is a guidance letter that says, hey, oh, by the way, you're taking this federal lunch money.

You need to do X, Y, and Z.

And so we're pushing back saying, Hey, you're not allowed to do it, number one.

And number two, it's unlawful.

There's nothing in you're trying to rewrite federal law with a guidance letter.

And so we're pushing back on it because it's really an extreme agenda.

And I think they know they could never get the votes to do these sorts of things, or maybe they could.

I don't know, but they haven't tried.

They're just firing off letters now.

Here's the craziest thing:

is they continue to do these things which are absolutely illegal.

They're illegal, and they know it, but they do it anyway.

And I think that's because there's a lot of states that will just go along with it.

And if they can get those states through this way, that's great.

But we are really truly

this, what Joe Biden is doing is enacting Woodrow Wilson's greatest dream.

A president who is nothing more than a chief administrator.

And all of the laws, everything else is run through his administration.

So it makes Congress really nothing.

This is why the

gun bill yesterday is so scary.

They didn't even look at the bill.

They didn't have time to even read the bill.

And the devil's always in the details.

And Eric, I know you've seen Obamacare and you've read Obamacare.

About

every other page, maybe every two pages, it says

the director shall

what was it exactly?

The director shall define these

regulations.

So nobody had the regulations.

It was left up to the director of the department to just make up the laws.

Right, and they say we'll promulgate the rules or we'll issue a definitional standard and all these sorts of things.

And here's the thing.

It's not just the administrative state.

The Article I branch, Congress deserves a lot of blame here, too, because what the founders

thought was that each branch would jealously guard its power.

I mean, read the federal papers.

That's what they're talking about.

They would jealously guard their power.

But Congress does this little two-step now, where they say, I voted for the greatest bill in the world, but I can't believe

the EPA did this.

And that's why

we got to put that gene back in the bottle.

Make Congress vote on these things.

Make them actually, if it's a button, whatever, if it's a, you want to issue one rule, you got to pull back 10.

President Trump had a good start on this.

He had a two-for-one rule that Biden got rid of.

If it's over,

pick the number.

If its economic impact is overexed, make Congress vote on it.

I guarantee a lot of this stuff wouldn't happen.

But you need warriors that are going to go to Congress to actually fight for those things.

But you're right.

This is what they did, by the way, on the vaccine mandate, Glenn.

I think I was on your show to talk about this.

Missouri was the first state to file.

We took that all the way to the Supreme Court.

They knew what they were doing.

OSHA was created to make sure forklifts beep when they back up, not to force a medical procedure on 80 million Americans.

But in the meantime, a lot of these companies, a lot of these hospitals just sort of went along with it, either because they wanted to or they were concerned about the legal ramifications.

So this is part and parcel of the strategy.

You're right.

The progressive movement, Woodrow Wilson, one of our worst, if not worst presidents of all time, sort of began this movement of the experts know better than the people, you know, which is completely antithetical this country.

You know, you reject it, I reject it.

But here we are now.

The American left has control of all the levers of power, and they are bulldozing people's constitutional rights.

These red flag laws are unconstitutional, they deny due process, and yet here we are now, even Republicans saying, well, we got to pass the bill to see what's in it.

I mean, that's kind of like closie stuff.

So, anyway, it's up to the states right now to push back, and that's why we've been so aggressive.

So, Eric,

tonight I'm doing a special on the Department of Education and the labor unions, the teachers' union in particular.

Those two things, or at least the Department of Labor, has got to be, or sorry, the Department of Education has got to be abolished.

What happens statewide if the Department of Ed was abolished?

Because people will say, they're not going to get any money for our schools then.

Well, look, the fact of the matter is most of the money in education comes comes from states, not from the federal government.

However, there's enough that they can do things like this, right?

Tie federal lunch programs to this radical policies.

How about just get rid of the Department of Education and block grant the money to the states?

That'd be one way to do it.

But here, also the tie here, Glenn, is

you block grant the money to the states.

One tie here that's very important.

In Missouri, we have taken this issue on of the indoctrination in our schools, this woke identity politics that's making its way into our schools.

We're going after it a couple of different ways.

We issued subpoenas to a lot of these school districts in Missouri and around the country.

And these marching orders are coming from D.C.

That's why it's important to get rid of the Department of Education because this kind of

ideological rigidity that makes its way to the other states stems from the Department of Education's relationship with the teachers' unions.

But here's what they're doing in Missouri.

which they're doing in every other state.

You just got to have the guts to stand up to it.

We uncovered that there is a diversity, equity, inclusion consulting firms, one of which, by the way, is Panorama, Merritt Garland's son-in-law, that's doing these invasive student surveys where they ask about kids' sexuality, parents' income, parents' political beliefs.

This stuff is crazy.

At the same time, we issued those subpoenas to find out more about that activity.

We opened up a students' first portal where parents can send us stuff that's happening in their school district.

Here's what we found.

Teachers, administrative staff are being being trained to view their classrooms under the lens of something called the oppression matrix, where you divide up students by oppressor and oppressed.

The pyramid of white supremacy, where things like colorblindness, this radical idea that you would view people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin, is considered covert white supremacy.

So are terms like make America great again.

This kind of the gender unicorn is being pushed.

And I'll tell you the other thing that we found just a couple of weeks ago, a parent sent, kids are being forced in front of their classmates to do something called the privilege walk.

I mean, this is, oh my God.

These are struggle sessions, Glenn, for kids with this Marxist ideology, and we've got to root it out.

We just have to be unafraid and root this out because this divisive ideology has no place in our classrooms.

We need to start getting back to math and science.

And how about civics?

Why don't we maybe start teaching civics again, but it's out of control and and we're pushing back.

So, Eric, you're running for Senate.

Your race is close between the other guy.

The other guy

does not look like he's able to win or it would be close in the election against the Democrat.

You beat the Democrat by 14 points.

A, two questions here.

A,

will you stand to abolish

this administrative state and abolish things like the Department of Education?

Yes.

And one of the things I've talked about that a lot of candidates don't talk about is this.

We have to dismantle the administrative state.

And those are, you know, a lot of the fights that I've had as Attorney General have been about that, right?

You see the abuse, you see the overreach, you take it on.

And I'm going to take that experience and that fighting spirit, the United States Senate.

We need it now more than ever.

The country is on the line.

Now,

the next question is, I know somebody else that could run for Senate, and I'm cautioning him.

I'm like, please, do you have a good replacement?

Because we can't lose a great AG.

We can't have you replaced as an AG by some mealy-mouthed AG.

Is there somebody to step into your role that's really good?

Yeah, there is.

There'll be a long line, Glenn.

And I think

one of the things I'm most proud of is AG, we've set the template here.

You know, in Missouri, Democrats had this office for a generation, and we've set the template for what an aggressive AG does to push back against this overreach.

And I just think all these big, important fights are going to roll through the United States Senate, Glenn.

I mean, we need reinforcements to save America.

I was proud to have Senator Mike Lee's endorsement.

We announced that yesterday, Senator Ted Cruz.

We need more fighters.

We need fighters.

And the guy I'm running against is a clitter.

Quit on this state.

That's his track record.

We need somebody that's going to be unafraid, stand up to this nonsense, and fight the same America.

I know you are.

And if you have Mike Lee and Ted Cruz's endorsement, those are

the two that are an absolute must-have, I think, for anybody that's going to be in the Senate.

And I so appreciate how aggressive you've been on ESG and also on the Department of Education and what's happening in our schools.

Eric Schmidt, what is your web address if somebody wants to get involved with your campaign?

Yeah, Schmidt for Senate, S-C-H-M-I-T-T-F-O-R Senate.com.

They can follow me on all the Twitter machines and Facebooks too.

But if they want to get involved, Schmidt for Senate's the website.

And it's a great movement we've got.

It's, again, we need conservative fighters right now.

They're going to push back.

And President Trump showed us what that meant.

And we got to take these folks on.

Thank you very much, Eric.

I appreciate it.

Schmidt for Senate is the web address.com.

All right.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

We are all in the same position.

I don't care who you are.

I don't care if you're, well, Bill Gates probably doesn't care.

Well, yeah, no, he's investing in farmland, so he does.

We're all in a position where we need to look at where we're spending our money and save more money.

You need to get ahead before it's really too late to get ahead, at least for a while.

So let me ask you, have you ever considered a cash out refi of of your mortgage?

If you haven't, call American Financing today and get the free mortgage review I've been telling you about.

I don't know what the cash out refi is on mortgage, but maybe it's right for you, maybe it's not.

But they have all kinds of options for you to be able to examine on ways to save more money, especially when it comes to your high-interest credit cards.

They can help you with your closing costs.

They They roll it into the loan so you don't have to spend a few thousand dollars out of pocket to refinance.

I mean it when I say that it is a lending process that focuses on your needs and your budget.

It's easy to get the process started.

Do it now.

For over 20 years, they've been doing this for people just like you and people like me.

It's American Financing 800-906-2440.

800-906-2440 or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

10 seconds, station ID.

America has had a revolution in education.

The revolution has already happened.

It happened while we were asleep at the Switch, and thank goodness for COVID-19.

It is a blessing.

It woke us up.

And now they are taking it full throttle.

I mean, they are, they just don't care.

COVID lockdowns saved us, bought us some time.

The union-controlled public education system is putting all of our parents off to the sidelines.

During one of the debates in Virginia at the governor's race, Terry McAuliffe said something that was unspoken for a long time.

Now they're not ashamed of it.

And many progressives are saying this out loud,

that he said, quote, I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach, end quote.

Well, that unleashed a tidal wave.

Tonight's show, I want to help inform and inspire you in the quest for education freedom in your town, in your school.

Some guests that we have on tonight are working the front lines of this movement.

Also joining me is

the former Secretary of Education under Trump, Betsy DeVos.

She is passionate about it.

She's been working for her whole life, life, really, on this.

If you think you know Betsy DeVos's story based on the media narrative from the past five years, you have no idea what a powerhouse this woman is.

Don't miss my conversation with her and much more tonight.

Why we must abolish the Department of Education Now, 9 p.m.

Eastern, only on Blaze TV and Blaze TV YouTube.

Check us out, 9 p.m.

Eastern.

Holy cow.

Man, this is the first time I've had a chance to take a breath in 90 minutes.

We come back.

I promised you yesterday that I would give you

a way out,

something that you can do that is a real step in fighting back.

We've already told you today, call your senators that voted for the gun bill because there's another vote in the Senate coming in the next day or two, and it's important that they vote vote no this time, but they'll only do it if you call in.

Also,

abolishing the Department of Education.

I'm going to give you an action step next.

Third solution for today's program.

All right.

Now, let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's Rough Greens.

Rachel lives in New Jersey.

She wrote in recently about her dog.

She said, I have a 10-year-old golden doodle, Maverick.

Maverick?

Does he fly?

She said, Maverick loves rough greens.

I started using it a month ago with a free sample when I heard an ad on your show, Glenn.

I was unsure if he would eat it since he's usually such a picky eater.

Boy, don't I know it.

But I followed the instructions, gradually adding more and more until I got the full amount.

I cook his dinner and incorporate it in brown rice, chicken breast, or fillet dinner.

Holy cow!

Wow, he's a hoity-toity.

He loves it.

His coat is shinier and he has a lot more pep in his step.

Thank you so much.

Rough greens, not a dog food.

It is something that you sprinkle on whatever you're feeding your dog.

It's a supplement filled with all of the things that makes your dog healthier and happier.

Rough greens, they're so confident your dog is going to love it.

They'll send you the first bag free.

You just pay for shipping.

But feed your dog rough greens.

Whatever you're feeding them, just put this on top.

It has all of the things they need for a healthy life.

It's Wednesday, tonight, Wednesday night special, all on education.

We were just talking to the Attorney General of Missouri, who is slightly behind in the polls, to another guy who's running for Senate, for the U.S.

Senate.

Mike Lee and Ted Cruz just endorsed

Eric Schmidt.

I will not endorse him because it'll mean an instant loss.

But

he's running against a guy.

Look, here's the problem.

The problem is we just excuse too much from dirt balls.

And we just like, well, no, that doesn't.

We're not electing a Pope.

No, but can we get somebody who's not a dirtbag?

The guy that Schmidt is running against, this is a Republican,

imprisoned his hairdresser.

Now, you might think.

Allegedly, of course.

What?

Oh, allegedly, allegedly, according to the hairdresser.

But all women must be believed.

Anyway,

so...

Tell the audience the story, Stu, because

you just wove a beautiful story.

It's been a little while, but let me give you

my best retelling retelling of this.

Basically,

Grayton's was the governor of Missouri, and he wound up stepping down because of

this situation.

Basically, he had a somewhat flirty relationship with his hairdresser, apparently, where while he was married.

While he was married.

And it wasn't anything that I guess escalated to any big level for a while.

She sort of liked him.

He was kind of flirty with her.

That's the way that she tells the story.

Then eventually at one point, he didn't come back to her for a haircut for like several months.

I want to say five months.

And all of a sudden booked another appointment.

And she was, you know, was kind of, I guess, surprised by this because she hadn't heard from him in a while.

And on this particular appointment, he

seemingly made a move on her, at least by her telling.

And she

did not apparently appreciate the move, although she was, she sort of seemed to like him in some way, but did not really like the move.

He eventually got in touch with her and said, hey, I'm sorry how that went down.

We should talk about this and discuss it.

And she said, okay, well, let's meet somewhere public.

He said, well, we can't meet somewhere public because, you know, there's the whole,

I'm running for office thing.

So they wound up going to his house where they start some sexual encounter of some sort.

She goes downstairs with him.

He puts her in some restraints that he has like built in his basement or something bizarre.

She says she sees him take a picture of her nude because he like rips off her clothing.

She says he blackmails her with a photo.

Basically, don't tell anybody about our hookup.

All right.

And long story short, there's disagreements on what

the imprisonment part of it, but he did admit to the affair.

And this is the reason why, one last thing here, Glenn.

This is the reason why he's up by like two or three points

in the general election, and Eric Schmidt is up by 13 or 14 points.

This is a huge risk for Republicans if they put this guy through.

Yeah, okay.

Could I just say,

I don't know about the kidnapping or the imprisonment or whatever that was.

I don't know.

Can we just

not elect politicians that have sexual restraints in their basement for playtime?

What do you say?

That's a bad idea.

A bad

Okay.

Oh, good heavens.

What's wrong with us?

Look, you want to solve this problem.

We have to start looking for decency and honor.

Do you know how we won the American Revolution?

George Washington said once, quote, I shall make it the most agreeable part of my duty to study merit and reward the brave and deserving.

He's the guy who, the very first guy in the history of all war, that issued a medal or an award to the enlisted men.

And it was the highest award you could get from George Washington.

It was called the badge of merit.

Come on, guys, let's go beat the Navy SEALs.

We're not going to beat the Navy SEALs.

Okay, imagine a group of, we go to the American Legion.

No, we go to the Trump rally and we're like, hey, I just interpreted what he said as, let's just go overthrow the United States because he might have a gun and he can pick up a flagpole and beat the army with the flagpole.

You're not going to win.

You're not going to win.

That's the way it was with the British.

And so they knew, Washington knew that we had to be honorable.

You had to behave with honor, self-discipline.

You had to be charitable.

He said that's why God found favor on us.

Being an American at the time was really perilous.

They were in the midst of a miracle, but they didn't know it yet.

There was uncertainty and chaos.

It was a breeding ground of selfishness, short-sightedness, malice, greed, dishonor, turning people in, accusing people of all kinds of stuff.

Yet Washington looked at all of his soldiers and said, have none of that.

Be men of merit.

Now, as far as we know, the first military honor that was bestowed upon a common soldier was this.

And he made it available to every soldier.

And George Washington was sending a message that in America, any soldier, any person, can be a noble.

See, nobles have lost their meaning because nobles were born into it, and so I'm noble, and so whatever I do, I'm a noble, and I can get away with anything.

Hello, Hunter Biden.

In George Washington's time and now, we need people who understand what it means to be noble.

We need men,

but we also need women that are noble.

It used to be that women got it,

and men were only behaving because women got it.

Now,

God help us.

America is heading down the wrong path, and we have to be on God's side.

He will not be on our side.

We must be on his side.

When Abraham pleaded for God to spare the people of Sodom,

He spoke about the virtuous remnant.

He begged God, please spare the nation if there's just 10 righteous people in it.

We have to ensure that this nation has at least a remnant of righteous people.

So when we approach God for help, we have some standing in His court.

You might remember I gave out my own version of Washington's badge of merit almost 12 years ago.

It was around the time of the Restoring Honor Rally.

I've decided we were so early on everything.

Now is the time.

Now is the time.

I know our nation is still filled with people of virtue.

I know there are people on all sides of the aisle that are trying to do the right thing, that don't want to condemn everyone who disagrees with them, who knows the difference still between right and wrong and decency, common decency.

They are the people, God willing, who will save this nation.

And I want to lift those people up as a model.

Because we need one of the first things the left did was destroy all of our heroes.

So we have no heroes.

I mean, did you see what did you see on Juneteenth, what, what was it, was it St.

Louis?

That no, it was New Orleans.

That instead of a statue of a great African American, they put a a hair pick

in front of City Hall.

What is what

They don't want you to have any role models.

I want all of us to get into the habit habit of recognizing people of merit in our own community, just like George Washington did.

So,

I want to start something new.

I would like you to nominate community members for this award.

We've set up a system for you to write to us and nominate anyone who you think have behaved with virtue, kindness, merit, and integrity in the hardest of situations.

Somebody that will just stand and take the beating, but they will not sit down

somebody that has gone way out of their way

to help and be got and be kind and generous and charitable

the award is open to anyone

man at Phoenix just the other day owns a gas station decided to sell his gas for 47 cents cheaper than he buys it And he did it just to help his community.

He said, my mom and dad taught me to help if you have something.

If you have something you can share with other people.

Well, God gave me help.

We're not here to make money right now.

I'm very happy just helping other people.

That's a man of merit.

That's a man who gets it.

It doesn't have to be a public act.

I'd like to honor parents that are raising their children to know the truth.

who are standing up in their school board meetings.

I'd like to celebrate the business owner who refuses to kneel at the feet of wokeness.

I'd like to recognize a teacher who will stand against their own teachers' union.

I'd like to recognize the neighbor who checks in on the elderly woman next door from time to time.

I'm looking for pastors that will stand up even though they know they'll lose people in their congregation, but they have to say it because we're so far off the path.

Anyone who's living with hope and acting in love and serving their fellow man.

Nominate them for a badge of merit.

Send an email to merit at glenbeck.com.

And here's what you need to include.

Your name and contact information, your nominee's name and contact information, and the story of your nominee's active merit.

I really would prefer that you didn't tell them in advance, but nominate them.

Because we need to hear their stories.

I'd like you to to do it maybe in 300 words or less, really, because the staff, their eyes are about to fall out as it is.

So if you could do it 250, 300 words, that would be great.

And from your nominations, I'll be selecting outstanding citizens to be recognized on the air and receive our badge of merit.

All the directions and everything you need to know is also up at Glenbeck.com, my website.

But do that today.

This is, yeah, this is the one thing I told you a minute ago that I was going to suggest that could help save our country.

I know there's a lot of people who are like, oh, geez, that's not going to work.

Do you know how many people said that to George Washington?

They had zero chance of winning.

Zero, none.

Strongest army, biggest military, most powerful, the sun never set on the British Empire.

And a group of farmers were going to take them on?

There was no chance of winning.

Zero.

George Washington knew before even training,

he needed his soldiers to be people of merit.

Nominate them now.

Merit at Glenbeck.com.

Here's something we can do to find favor, I think.

You know,

this audience really truly believes in

the protection of all life, of all life.

Every 34 seconds in the United States, the freest and best country in the world, a child who's supposed to be born in this world is aborted.

If we are killing God's children before they even have a chance to live and be outside of the womb, how could he possibly look on us with favor?

It's not possible.

I've teamed up with the Ministry of Pre-Born, and they are empowering young expectant mothers in crisis to choose life.

And it is not just, hey, make sure you have the baby and then they, you know, disappear.

These people actually care.

And they are with the moms.

They are with the babies.

The way they do it, they have such a success rate they've they they beat all of the odds um what they do is they provide an ultrasound and when the expectant mom who comes in and is thinking about an abortion sees and hears her baby on ultrasound 80 chance she changes her mind 80

so how many babies could we save as an audience look at what we've done already Look at what we've done.

Look at the number of people this audience has saved, literally saved, just in Afghanistan and now in Ukraine.

How many babies can we save?

For $28, you can sponsor one ultrasound.

For $140,000, you can help rescue five babies.

I think we can rescue at least 50,000 babies this year.

At least, if we choose to.

Donate dial 250, pound 250, and say the keyword baby.

That's pound 250, keyword baby, or donate securely now at preborn.com/slash beck.

I want you to do your own homework.

They are the best.

Be it person of merit.

What could be more honorable than saving a child's life?

This is the Glenn Back program.

There is somebody who shockingly has never been on this program.

Um, and apparently, she was scheduled to be on this program the day that Robin Williams died, and we had to cancel, and for some reason, never came back.

I don't know why.

Her name is Lily Tang Williams.

She is running for the U.S.

House

but she has an awful lot to say about what is going on with the Great Reset because she's seen it before.

She actually grew up in China

and she was she was there with Mao's Cultural Revolution and

she knows

what

she knows what she's talking about when When she looks at what's happening in America and she says, this is communism,

this is Mao.

She speaks with authority.

So we're going to talk to her here in just a second about ESG

and

the comparison between China's social credit system and ESG and all of the things that are happening today.

and how she experienced the exact same things when she lived in China.

She is coming up next.

Her name is Lily Tang Williams.

You don't want to miss it.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together, it's the chorus of life.

Stand up straight and hold the line.

It's a new day, I'm time to rise.

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

This is the Glenbeck program.

Hello America, welcome to the Glenbeck program.

So there's a few things that we really have to decide what we're for, not just what we're against, but what we're for.

I'm for the free market.

I am for

a market that is unfettered by corruption in our own government.

I'm so sick and tired of the big players getting all of the favors.

I would bet my country

easily on the American people any day of the week.

And that's knowing what the American people are kind of like.

Have you been outside lately?

But I would bet on them every single time over these experts in Washington.

But the experts have learned how to game the system and one of the ways to game it is with ESG.

There is a woman that's running for the U.S.

House, and she's running up in New Hampshire.

Her name is Lily Tang Williams.

She knows what ESG is because she's seen it.

She was born in China just before the reign of terror with Mao, and she was indoctrinated and believed all of it until somebody handed her a Declaration of Independence.

So, what does all of this mean to her?

We talk to her in 60 seconds.

Stand by.

Okay, we're going to talk about indoctrination, how powerful indoctrination is.

Lily will tell you she believed that Mao was a god because that's what she was taught in school.

That's remarkable.

Well, she wasn't alone.

That's what happened in Germany.

Germany, they did the same thing.

Hitler was a god, took our churches.

Not kidding you, six months in Germany before they took the statue or the picture of Christ off of the mantle of the altar and replaced it with Hitler.

Six months.

So we need to teach our children the truth.

We need to seek the truth and we need to teach our children how to seek the truth and how to find it.

May I suggest the Tuttle Twins books?

They are such a great start for your kids.

My staff loves them.

I love them.

My kids love them.

The books teach amazing lessons about how this country was founded, its guiding principles, the free market system, the necessity for small government.

I can't recommend these books highly enough.

It's Tuttle Twins.

They're having a great sale right now, 35% discount off their books.

Plus, they're giving away the activity workbooks at no additional cost.

It's a huge discount off the normal price.

I can't tell you how many homeschoolers I know that I really respect.

I mean, the kids, they have read all of these books, and it shows.

TuttleTwinsbeck.com.

Go there now.

Lily Tang Williams.

I believe we talked long ago, Lily.

And then I know you were supposed to be on our TV show on the day that Robin Williams passed away.

And somehow or another, we just lost track of each other.

Welcome to the program.

How are you?

I'm doing great.

And I remember in 2014 that I was looking forward to get on your TV show with Bob Fool.

Yeah.

But it's okay.

You fund me now.

Okay, yeah.

And you're running for the U.S.

House

up in

New Hampshire.

And if anybody wants to follow her, her Twitter is Lily4, the number four Liberty.

And

I want to talk to you about that.

But I'd I'd like to start at the beginning and Lily this might take a couple of episodes I don't know if you have time tomorrow but I might ask you to come back tomorrow because I think your backstory is so important and I've only got about 25 minutes with you today

so but let's let's explore and see what see what see what happens before we get into ESG which you're fighting against and have a lot to say about could you just please go through you were born in in China you were born in a poor working family, and it was right before the Cultural Revolution, right?

Correct.

Yes, two years before Mao's

the great proletarian cultural revolution.

Okay, so I have, I believe we are in a cultural revolution right now, not far off from Mao.

Less violence, obviously.

But we are, you know, he made you stand in the open square and confess and denounce your parents and everything else.

And we are so close to that.

Would you agree or disagree with that?

Well, I have been speed up calling my two cultural revolutions.

One, I survived under Mao.

I was born in China and went through his 10 years social political chaos and indoctrination.

And when he died, I was only 12 years old.

The whole time, I did not challenge anything.

I accepted everything I was told.

And I accepted five black classes, which is under, you know,

oppressors group, and five red classes, which is under oppressed group.

We were lucky, I guess, to be red class.

So therefore, I could join Mouse, Young Pioneer, Red Guard, and Communist Youth Youth Member, all for students.

I was chanting long live Che Mai Mao, long live the Communist Party in my schools every day, and the politics was in your face, in your life, like 24 hours a day.

You could not have downtime.

You could not talk about anything long political.

I thought I was doing the right thing by calling out

black-class families by enemy them.

wait wait wait wait wait wait tell me what a black class family would have been.

You were working class and poor.

What's a black class family?

Well, it's a typical, of course, the Marxist also and communist

term is oppressor versus oppressed.

But Mao went to even further.

He divided all Chinese citizens, because all Chinese will have same skin color and race, but he used economical class and political class to put the five black classes, which is called, for example, rightist,

bad influencers, landowners, county revolutionaries, and potentially basically capitalist rich people, all under black classes.

But some are very subjective.

Like how do you define bad influence, rightist, and county revolutionaries?

Correct.

On the other side, five red classes is based on your economic status.

Like I was red because my parents were illiterate workers class and the peasants and also the revolutionary heroes and soldiers and all communist party members and colors.

They were the red classes.

So we were fighting against each other tooth and nail.

My memory started as a child.

The black classes family would go to public square to lower their head, to apologize, to be public shamed, and to throw rocks at and by red guards.

Red guards were shutting down schools by mouth and told the red guards to go unleash your political activism against all black families.

So that's what I saw when I was a little girl at the height of cultural revolution about 67, 68, that you saw those very scary public square struggle sessions.

We, you know, people start to discover them now in America called a struggle session.

And so we have now,

if I understand this right, you were encouraged to take some of these things on yourself, not just in the public square, but you were encouraged to shun, ban, or whatever black-class families on your own?

Well, we were inducted in school like that.

Also, every day in our communities, we lived in a family, like basically community housing,

you know, provided by my dad's factory.

And 6:30 every morning, there was a loud speaker come on because we were next to the school to tell us, get up and go to work and go to school, loudly reach my mom, enimulate black class family.

And it just, it's in your face every day.

It's like an action.

When I think about it, when I wake up, it was like a concentration camp.

Every day you have loud speakers come on.

You cannot sleep in, you cannot be late, and you have to chant slogans.

Then you go to school for the first 15 minutes.

We sing the red sounds, we hold the little mouth, read books, and we will do some little bit, even dancing moves.

Then we start to sit down to study Chinese and math.

It was a long time.

Wow.

And you,

I've got to ask this question.

Let me just change this real quick.

Did math include indoctrination as well, or was it just straight math?

Back then it was a simple straight math.

Traditionally, Chinese value math and science and the technology.

But during Mao's cultural revolution, though, he canceled schools.

He closed down all schools.

He canceled the individual meritocracy and the academic excellence and the scientists.

So somebody took college exam, for example, right after like Mao's, um

he turned in a blank paper, like I'm not gonna do this test.

It's like test is not politically correct, I'm a worker, I don't need a test.

So he turned in a blank page and get a zero for his uh math and he become a hero.

He was like in UC

Look, he's a pure workers class, we don't need a test, we don't need the academic excellence, so why bother all the

old

Chinese culture, which is a value excellence in academics?

How similar.

I mean, do you ever just kind of break out in a cold sweat when you see what's happening now in your new country of America and just go, guys, what is wrong with you?

Can't you see what's coming?

Well, I was speaking around the country for five years.

as a speaker for victim of communism and Merrill Foundation.

For five years, I noticed our school kids do not know the real history.

Their eyes were huge when I told them my personal stories.

And the teachers even don't know.

So I wonder what they learned in teachers' college.

But the last two years, to be honest with you, I'm terrified, Glenn.

I couldn't sleep.

I woke up at night to think about my past, my childhood.

It's like what's going on in my new country.

This looks so similar.

Similar terms, tactics, and the identity politics, then toppling down statues and burning down buildings, and the looting and the violence, the mob dominate the street, and cancel culture, silence, all these are the voices.

I was terrified, and that's why I'm running now.

I'm running for Congress.

Yeah.

You're running for Congress, and you're running in

New Hampshire.

LilyTangWilliams.com.

You can follow her on Twitter at LilyForLiberty.

Lily,

let's go to ESG.

When you look at ESG,

what do you see?

It's a similar to Communist Party in China's social credit system.

The social credit system right now is basically on every Chinese citizen's cell phone.

So

they use American financial FICA score system

and kind of invented as a social credit score where everybody starts at like a certain point.

Then you get a plus-minus point for your speeches, behaviors, and

your financial, of course, but also most likely your social media posts.

And your health code is on your phone for COVID tracking, vaccine passport.

If you go out with your cell phone to buy groceries, you have a green code on your cell phone.

That means you are safe, you are negative.

By the time you come back to your community, you feel fine, but your code turns orange.

They will not allow you to go home.

They will force you to go quarantine because you were exposed to potential COVID when you were outside.

Oh my gosh.

There are some people who are not allowed to go home.

And my friend in the past

10 weeks, retired lawyers in China, Shanghai, were locked down in their homes and no food because everybody is trying to fight for a little bit of food for online purchases on their app, but mostly they're relying on government, deliver food, centralized planning to deliver food to 25 million people in Shanghai.

How could that be, you know,

workable, effective?

People are starving, people are committed suicide, my plants were depressed.

They even told me on the WeChat app to say, wonder why Americans hold on to their Second Amendment because they wish they had some because their staircases were barbed wired by electricity.

They could not get out of their buildings.

It's concentration camps.

I know that I read a story about one woman who

went out shopping.

She got the orange code on her phone.

She wasn't allowed to go get her baby.

who was breastfeeding

and somebody else was in the house that was also dependent on her, and they wouldn't let her go back.

And God only knows what happened to the child.

Well, I have lots of first, you know, like first-handed materials from a Chinese

app, WeChat, which is, of course, censored, so I couldn't say anything.

But I'm going to put on my YouTube Lady Tang Williams to show people we shall never forget what happened in Shanghai, which is the most wealthy international city in China.

We only know about Shanghai because there are international lots of foreigners live there and they have some kind of internet access.

Imagine 370 million people were under lockdown.

The West will not know about them.

And like all over China, like 40,000 cities.

And at the same time, China, you know, infiltrating the West and telling our students how wonderful they are.

and they pay money to influence our university through Confucius Institute since Obama for 18 years, they might be still going on, but under different name.

So back to social credit system, is that this ESG basically used some kind of

international rating scoring on private companies, on our states, on public traded companies, gave them this environmental social governance score.

It's very political.

It's based on climate change rhetoric.

You have to be PC.

You have to buy into all those rhetoric.

Otherwise, you are not politically correct and you will get a less score.

You get less capital investment.

It's using this kind of politics, control our states, our municipalities, our companies.

Where is America going?

Going after China model to track people?

Lily, hang on the phone just a second.

I got to take a quick break.

Can you imagine her in Congress?

I would like.

People would just be like, oh, no, no, no, don't send her in.

Don't, no, no, no, don't send her in.

She's just a Spitfire.

All right.

Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It is Goldline.

I played you the clip of Janet yelling walking back her initial proclamations about the state of inflation in the country.

Today, we played the audio.

of the world's greatest White House spokesperson saying that, you know, Biden has really prepared the country for inflation.

And then she immediately went, but we don't have inflation or a recession.

We don't have a recession.

We're in a transition now.

Yeah, transition to what?

A recession.

Anyway,

gold line right now.

You're not going to

believe me.

Believe me.

Look at the price of gold.

Look at the price of Bitcoin.

Look at the inflation on your dollar and how your dollar is becoming worth less and less and less.

Look at what's happening at the stock market.

I'm telling you right now, the only thing I really haven't lost any money on is golden silver.

It is a hedge against inflation.

Now, it is behaving differently.

It should be probably about $4,000 an ounce right now, but it's behaving differently.

And I think that's because of many reasons, much of which the government.

But

if you want to keep your money, and I mean keep it, not have it just go to zero, please put some of your money into gold and silver.

Goldline has a special this week, very hard to find one-tenth ounce gold American Eagles.

They're in short supply.

Every coin purchased, you're going to receive five of the mind-your-business silver bars at no cost.

That is a deal worth calling for right now.

Please check it out.

Do your own homework: 866-Gold Line.

One eight six six goldline or goldline.com.

10 seconds, station ID.

Yeah,

Lily,

unfortunately, I have to run.

We have another guest coming up in just a second, but I'd like to have you back

and

tell us some more about.

I'd really like you to explain the dangers of making everything political.

I don't think people understand

this is a communist and a Maoist tool.

Everything is about politics now.

And you've seen that firsthand.

Right, it's very dangerous to our constitutional republic.

And I came here, I thought, hey, constitutional rights are going to protect me.

I was not political.

It took me 20 years to get rid of my indoctrination in my new country.

But once I wake up, I just cannot believe the tactics, the terms,

all the strategies and the political stuff they're using.

I just cannot recognize my new country.

I feel it's my duty to come out, to call them out, and to warn our American citizens, we don't want to go down that path.

It's very central the way we're being slaved.

Tonight, back to back Studios America, Glenn TV.

Don't miss it, Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

The promo code is Glenn.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Tonight at nine o'clock, we are going to be talking about the

fact that the Department of Education needs to be abolished.

And boy, I would like to hear more people start talking about that.

Abolish the Department of Education.

It is a must in the next session of Congress or the next president.

And we have Ryan Walters, who's going to join us here in a minute.

He is the Oklahoma Secretary of Education.

He's ruthless on

what's going on in the schools.

We've talked to him before.

He is fantastic.

We're going to talk to him about the reality of that, what it would look like if you actually abolish that.

That's coming up in a minute.

Also, Stu, we just got a report from the Supreme Court that it looks like they are going to add Friday this week.

So it'll be Thursday and Friday.

They're going to be handing out decisions.

There's only 13 left.

So if they did six on one day and seven the next,

that would finish up the, that would give all of them, and they've been doing about five per

release, have they not?

Yeah, you covered it pretty well there, Glenn.

I mean, they've been doing about five.

You'd think, in theory, they've been doing this lately where they end the session on a Friday with the final decisions.

This would give them a chance to get out before all the fires start burning, which is nice.

And this would potentially give you the

certainly the speculation is that we will get the abortion case on Friday.

Now, that's not guaranteed.

They'd still have another week where that would be kind of within the normal window to release this stuff.

So it could go into next week very easily.

But that's the speculation as of right now.

So you look at it two ways.

You know, it's a week before 4th of July.

So, you know, on the 4th of July weekend, we don't have maybe as many fires as we did on the night or the weekend of the ruling, if they release it Friday.

But

I hope they just get it out, just release it.

And, you know, I would say on Friday, the old Glenn and the old stew

would probably have somebody on from the FBI or the Department of Homeland Security to talk about what they are watching and preparing for these riots that have been announced in advance.

I mean, literal riots,

burning down of buildings.

But I doubt that the FBI or the Department of

are going to do anything about it, at least in advance.

So

join us tomorrow and Friday.

It'll happen live on the program, and you don't want to miss it.

Ryan Walters is with us again.

He's the Oklahoma Secretary of Education, and he's just great.

He's been on the program before.

He's common sense and takes care of business.

Welcome to the program, Ryan.

How are you?

I'm doing great, Glenn, and I appreciate your emphasis on, you want to talk about common sense?

We don't need the feds involved in our education system at the state level in any way, shape, or form.

So I sure appreciate you shining a light on that.

This is the perfect time to have this conversation.

We have parents across the country.

Parents in Oklahoma are fired up, and they are tired of seeing what's coming from this Biden administration when it comes to our schools.

So it's the Department of Education, but it is also the teachers' unions.

I mean, they're working hand in hand, are they not?

Oh, they absolutely are, Glenn.

I mean, you see the national teachers' Unions were supportive of keeping our schools closed.

They were supportive of pushing critical race theory, transgender education in our schools, and they fight against school choice.

I'll tell you, Glenn, you know, I'm in an election cycle right now.

I've had over $600,000 coming to the state against me from the National Teachers' Union because I'm standing up and saying kids should be in schools.

Parents should be in charge of their kids' education.

But you see a complete alignment between the National Teachers Union and the Biden administration of the Democratic Party to attack Republicans that have been putting parents in the driver's seat of their kids' education.

And it's just going to continue until we fight back.

I mean,

I'm doing a special tonight at 9 o'clock on Blaze TV on this.

And, you know, just looking at the stats on how far we have fallen,

especially since the 1970s and the Department of Education.

But in 1970, we started hiring nine to one.

We had more people in the administration of our schools by far than children.

Nine to one.

That's crazy.

It's incredible, Glenn.

And what we see is as the feds continue to push dictates down to states,

what states do is they build a bureaucracy around these requirements, around this federal money.

And as time goes on, Instead of seeing our money, our taxpayer dollars getting to the classroom, getting to parents, getting to our kids' education, they are building this layer of bureaucracy.

And then when you dig deeper into the things the bureaucracy is pushing, it's stuff that's so out of line with American values.

I mean, it's the anti-American rhetoric that, you know, President Trump did a great job a couple of weeks ago talking about, look, they're teaching kids to hate this country.

That is what we're seeing from the push from the feds and our education system.

So we have to continue to take that back.

This is a state's issue.

And more importantly, we need to be driving everything to the parent level.

The parents should be in charge of their kids' education.

We need to get as much as we can in the parents' power to control their kids' education.

So people will argue that then all these schools will collapse and all the poor states will have horrible schools, et cetera, et cetera.

Tell me the reality of the Department of Education going away.

All right.

Yeah, let's talk through kind of logistically how that would work.

And what I want to see is Oklahoma, we are going to continue to wean ourselves away from the federal government.

The governor and I here, we called for a forensic, full forensic audit of the State Department of Education.

It had never happened before in our state.

And what we're going to do, Glenn, is we're going to look at every dollar, what it's spent on, what the program is, who the personnel is, and show this to Oklahomans and say, guys, we are going to continue to, these federal dollars come with strings that attach us to curriculum that aren't in line with our values, number one.

And number two, they come with the stipulations that you have to hire all this staff to administer these programs.

And so what we're going to to start doing is peeling that back.

And as we start peeling that back, that's more money that we can be using in the classroom instead of using state resources to stand up federal programming.

Use that money to get it to families, to get it to kids.

And absolutely not.

The thing that red states have, okay, when we talk about getting money to parents and supporting school choice and empowering families is in our red states, our families believe that that core family unit is key to raising children.

And Glenn, I can't emphasize this enough.

When we start driving the conversation to how do we empower families with choices, with options, and Glenn, I mean choosing your school, but I also mean choosing your education inside that school.

You know, one of my frustrations is, you know, when Elsa Feds do, they emphasize that college is the only path for kids.

It's absolutely not the only path for kids.

I'm a public school teacher in my background.

One of my most successful kids went on to be a welder.

He's having a tremendous life, zero college debt, loves what he's doing.

But this is the influence of the federal government.

And what we're going to see in red states is the core family unit.

The more they're engaged in their kids' education, the more transparent our education system is, the more they're empowered, the more we'll see mom, dads, grandmas, and grandpas sitting at their dining room table with their kids, talking about their school, talking about their education.

That is how we get our education system back on track.

So, Ryan,

you're currently the Oklahoma Secretary of Education, but you're running for Oklahoma State Superintendent.

Isn't that a lower position?

And if so, why would you do that?

So, we're in an interesting state.

We're one of 12 states that elect who runs the department.

And so, right now, I am the Secretary of Education, so I'm the governor's top education advisor.

So, what we do is we've been pushing school choice through the legislature.

We've banned critical race theory.

We're continuing to find, by the way, they call it other things, Glenn.

I know you've done a great job of highlighting this, but you see diversity, equity, inclusion.

You see social-emotional learning.

You see this continue to shift the ball of, well, we're going to call it this and that.

And so we've done a great job of that.

But here in our state, that department is run by an elected official.

And right now, I know this is shocking to your audience.

Our Department of Education is being run by a Democrat.

And what we've seen every step of the way, Glenn, is we ban something.

Guess what?

She doesn't care to enforce it.

She has stood in the way of school choice programs.

She has continued to push families out of their kids' education by not providing transparency for families in their schools.

So we have to have a conservative running the Department of Education here in the state to make it responsive to parents so that we can have the best education for our kids.

So it is just dire that we get a true conservative in that position that will take a look at every dollar spent in that agency and make sure it's doing what's best for kids and put parents in the driver's seat of their kids' education.

Ryan, you know, I talk to a lot of AGs around the country.

There's 24, I think, that are Republicans and about

15 that are just like really on fire great.

Do you have the same kind of grouping with the secretaries of education

or the people like you in other states?

Are other

red states getting involved in actually doing something like this?

Yes, sir.

I'm going to tell you, you know, Florida has been an incredible help to me.

I've talked to their commissioner multiple times.

They just got

a new one in there that's going to be great.

But they've helped me tremendously in, you know, I'm pushing back on textbook companies, saying if you have any type of critical race theory in your textbooks, you're not going to do business in the state of Oklahoma.

They helped walk me through and we brainstormed out a process there on how to do that.

So they've been a tremendous help to me as well.

So that's one of the things we started doing is starting to communicate together and going, guys, the reality is if we all, if all of us red states push back and we start doing this where we wean ourselves off of the federal government and put the state back where it should be of education is a state issue, not a federal one, and then even at the state level, continue to drive it down to families, giving families choice, options, empowerment, full transparency over what's going on in their schools.

That's the, hey, you know, the blue states, if they want to continue down this crazy path of believing that a government bureaucrat can decide and produce better educational outcomes than families, that's fine.

But in red states, that's not what we believe.

We believe that the families are the best folks to be involved in a kid's education.

We want to maximize the family unit's involvement with their kids.

And if we continue to do that and we group together, we can push back.

And this is the time to expose what the Biden administration and what government bureaucrats in D.C.

want to do to education and get them out.

for good.

You know, Ronald Reagan, President Reagan said, Glenn, you know, as soon as the Department of Education goes into effect, he says in a speech in 1981, we've got to get rid of it.

I mean, right off the bat, President Reagan recognized this is just going to grow.

This is going to be a terrible.

So, right off the bat, he mentioned that as a department that should be completely abolished.

And we have an opportunity now, now that parents have seen what's going on in our schools and seen what the Biden administration is pushing to get that goal accomplished.

Well, I hope to hear that chant nationwide, abolish the Department of Ed.

But so far,

I'm hearing a lot of

parents saying this has got to stop.

But I hope to see a lot of politicians and everyone else begin to get on a bandwagon of stopping and abolishing the Department of Education.

Ryan, thank you very much.

Thanks for all that you do.

You're a great friend to the program and to the Constitution.

The Oklahoma Secretary of Education, he is a candidate for Oklahoma State Superintendent.

Back in a minute.

Cynthia wrote in about her experience with Relief Factor.

She says, Last night I was able to sleep through the night without waking up from the pain and the cramping from my right hip and legs.

Is there anything worse than that?

I want to know who Charlie is and why his horse was so important because it sucks.

It's almost, she says, it's almost at the end of my second week of taking Relief Factor, and it's the first time I felt genuinely hopeful that my life can go back to normal.

Man, is that great, Cynthia?

Thank you so much for trying it.

Listen, if you're dealing with pain, please give Relief Factor a try.

It's not a drug.

It was developed by doctors and has four key ingredients that work with your body to fight inflammation.

The three-week quick start, developed just for you, is only $19.95.

It's a dollar a day like a trial pack.

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

That speaks volumes.

So I want you to call relieffactor.com, use the promo code Beck.

Yeah, for $19.95, you get the three-week quick start.

It's relief factor.com, 800, the number 4 relief.

This is unbelievable.

Jerome Powell, the Fed chair, has just testified in front of Congress that the war in Ukraine is not the primary driver of inflation.

Again,

Putin's inflation is not real, according to the head of the Fed.

That's quite stunning.

Now

we just got something in from the teachers' union, I guess.

Can we play a bit of that here?

Glenn Beck.

Glenn Beck.

I represent the Department of Education.

We could have been such friends, you and I.

We could have been allies.

But now I hear

that you want to go up against me.

That you want to go to the mattresses.

This is not a smart move.

Okay, all right.

I know we could have been friends.

I think we have it.

Tonight, yeah, I'll be pissing the unions off a little bit tonight at 9.

You don't want to miss that.

Now, tomorrow's radio program,

the next two days, going to be quite remarkable, I think.

We are probably going to get all 13 decisions broken up between today or tomorrow and the next day from the Supreme Court.

So that means

the teachers can pray law, the,

of course, Roe versus Wade.

Climate change is a big one.

You have the Second Amendment case as well.

That's a really big one.

The Remain in Mexico

border issue is a big one.

And all of them break right in the middle of this show, right in our second hour,

every single time.

So it's a big adventure that you have to go on with us.

It's going to be lots of fun.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So that happens tomorrow.

We'll probably get five tomorrow or six tomorrow, and then the remaining five or six on Friday.

So

this is a show that you want to put on your calendar.

Make sure you're with us the entire show tomorrow and Friday.

We'll see you tonight at 9 on TV.

God bless.

This is the Glenn Back Program.
