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

This is the Glenbeck Program.

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glen Beck Program.

We've got a lot on our plate today, and

I want to ring a bell

that

we talked about and did a show or a couple of shows on about a year ago.

We've been researching

real hard for the last couple of weeks to do a show we did last night on TV.

And it is a must-watch.

It is indeed time to stand.

We are at war

and you need to understand how far they are using nukes against our kids.

And I don't believe that's hyperbole.

You will understand

in 60 seconds.

There's still time to get out of the high interest debt before the rates shoot up.

Right now, I want you to think about your credit card debt.

What is the percentage at?

19%?

If the Fed continues down this road and the financial institutions decide to get serious about things, the 19% interest rate on your credit card could end up looking like a cakewalk.

Now, interest rates have gone up, but they're at four and three quarters of a percent, generally speaking, right now.

19%.

That's what you have to pay every month on your credit card.

Why not pay 5%

on your credit card?

Please

refi.

Do a consolidation loan.

Your house is probably worth about 20% more than it has been.

Use that money before it goes away.

Use that money to pay off your high-interest credit cards.

Do it now.

Please call American Financing at 800-906-2440.

Parents,

listen up.

We're in a new world.

And you're going to listen to this.

You're like, somebody's got to do something.

And you'll listen to this and you won't think it affects your children, but it does.

We have been pushing back on critical race theory for a couple of years now.

And I want to give a shout out to people like

Chris Ruffo or Azra Nomani.

She has been on the show.

Also,

different people that I think are quite remarkable as well.

Kelly Skye is one that

really has been doing a lot of work on this, and I appreciate all the work.

It is people like this

that help the rest of us understand.

We are now pushing back on something called comprehensive sexuality education, but I don't think parents really understand

how deep this is.

I did a show on CSE about a year ago and had no idea how deep this well went until we really started doing research on it.

Governor Ron DeSentis brought this to the forefront by signing the Parental Rights and Education Bill.

This banned sexual orientation and gender identity curriculum in kindergarten through the third grade.

This freaked the left out.

They're still freaked out.

Jen Saki was crying about it the other day,

saying what a horrible, horrible thing this really is.

We'll get to that audio here.

Disney repeated the lie that it's the don't say gay bill.

It has nothing to do with that.

I'm going to show you what it does have to do with.

Last night, I showed the textbook and I

read things verbatim that made me so uncomfortable.

I had to blur the screen.

Legally, our attorneys advised us, if you show these things on the screen, you could be in trouble for

exposing child porn.

But these are textbooks, I said.

Yes, but the law is clear.

So I couldn't do it.

I couldn't show it.

But the teachers can show it in second grade.

The pictures that we blurred out, first one was a naked boy looking into a mirror and his genitals are exposed.

We blurred the image.

And you know what?

If it was, if this is what Christians and common sense people were saying, This is outrageous.

Okay, I didn't like the image.

I mean, we used to be very, you know, scientific about it, very sterile when we would teach these things.

I think that's a better way.

The young girl is bent over, looking at herself.

Again, it was blurred last night, but fully visible to children in schools.

Okay, if that were it,

I would be, okay, I can see both sides here.

But that's not.

That's not.

This is K through 12.

Merely showing kids with their genitals exposed

is not the point

and certainly not enough.

They also have to show

actual sexual acts that would make porn stars blush.

Last night, I showed a blurred image and a quote from one of these textbooks.

I'm not going to use all of the language.

In fact, let me ask my radio executive producer, Stu, can I use this word on radio?

I mean.

Let's skip it where there's no reason to.

You can't really understand it.

I got a new blank harness today, actually blank, blank harness today.

I can't wait to put it on you.

It will fit my favorite blank perfectly.

You're going to look so hot.

If you watched the special last night, you know what all of that is.

And it is disgusting.

It goes on.

There is a

two boys talking to each other, and one says to the other, I can't wait to have your in my mouth, not the technical term.

I am going to give you the

of your life, and then

I want you inside me.

K

through 12.

The textbook goes on with an image of children performing some of the sex acts they were just talking about.

This is what the left wants to show, K through third graders.

This is what Disney is advocating to protect.

I showed at the top of the show last night a gender questionnaire.

It was produced by the new Hanover Title IX coordinator.

He claimed he got it from a university and adapted it for K through 12 students.

So this is meant for college students, and they're introducing it to kindergarteners.

Another form from the school district in North Carolina, it specifically states that there should be measures taken to conceal information from parents while the school continues gender identity treatment.

Is this happening to your child right now?

There's actually no way of knowing because the schools are being told to keep it from you.

Now,

what is a groomer?

I would think that we would all agree that a groomer is somebody I know if I, you know, we happen to have a creepy uncle

and he was taking my kids aside and he was talking about these very things

and then said, Let's keep this from your parents.

Don't tell anybody in your family.

You'd have a hard time me not killing that family member, quite honestly.

I'd chase him out of the house with a shotgun, wouldn't you?

Wouldn't you claim, rightfully so, that he was grooming your children?

I would.

This is just doing it with your tax dollars.

Now consider all of this, and then keep in mind the views of our new Supreme Court justice in, you know, giving light sentences to sex offenders.

But surely that's not the view of the mainstream Democratic Party, right?

Well,

really?

Here's Dick Durbin making the case that somehow the abundance of child porn on the internet makes everything okay.

These guidelines that you promulgated don't reflect the reality of today.

We know as well that

the guidelines were written, some were written, in an era when the materials we're talking about were physical materials, and we now live in a world of internet and access to not just tens and hundreds, but thousands of images, if that is your decision.

If that is your decision.

If that is your decision,

who is protecting our children?

The answer is no one.

And you know what?

We have given this job up.

We have got to be the ones.

protecting our children.

And our children will protect their schools and their teachers because they don't want you.

I know mine don't.

Do not want me going in through the halls and talking to the teachers and everybody else and going, wait, what the hell are you teaching?

Because then they feel they'll be singled out.

And they will be.

They also, because they've watched enough Disney and everything else, they also think this is normal.

What do you call groomers?

What is a groomer?

Well, how about this?

This is one of the people from the San Francisco Gay Men's Choir.

Is this grooming?

Quote, we'll convert your children.

It'll happen bit by bit, quietly and subtly, and you'll barely notice it.

You can keep them from disco.

You can warn them about San Francisco.

You can make them wear their pleated pants.

We don't care.

We'll convert your children.

Yeah, that sounds like grooming.

How about this from the most popular kids network in the world, Nickelodeon?

In honor of International Transgender Day of Visibility, meet Time and Nickelodeon's 2021 Kid of the Year finalist, Rebecca Brusohoff.

Growing up in the LGBTQ plus community has given me a different perspective on how I see the world.

Trans kids are so much more than their gender identity and transformation.

Stop.

This is crazy.

This is like maybe a nine-year-old, ten-year-old that is talking about trans kids kids and saying that they're so much more than their gender identity.

Yes, that is our point.

Everybody is much more than their sexuality and their gender identity.

Here's a gay porn star that bragged about talking to his preschoolers, preschoolers, about sex.

There's

go ahead.

This is a fifth grade teacher openly disclosing proudly her lesson plan for teaching gender and sexuality.

Then we have gender expression, which is how you show your gender to the world.

It's usually based in a sort of binary system, which isn't perfect.

Again, you can slide these up and down to show the different gender groups.

You know what's great about this is it has a giant stuffed unicorn off to the side.

So the kids...

I mean,

when you have to have a stuffed unicorn

standing next to these charts you're aiming pretty low now the Biden administration is pushing puberty blockers for trans kids and radical trans agenda being openly bragged about and taught to five years old five-year-olds

does anybody have any idea the damage that is being done

Do you know the experiments that are being conducted on your children?

And quite honestly, I don't think they're

experiments.

I remember the day my probably eight-year-old son, seven-year-old son,

ran into porn on the internet.

He came in crying.

He was devastated by it.

Devastated.

He ran into something horrible.

He didn't know how to what to do with it.

He didn't he didn't have his arms around that at all

They're now teaching that it is okay.

And you don't, I want to show you the slippery slope.

Remember when we said pedophilia, the next thing, we'll just start normalizing pedophilia.

Oh, that's crazy.

Let me give you something else.

Try this.

This is from three years ago.

This is Dennis Prager and Bill Maher.

Three years ago.

These are giant left-wing lies.

We're talking about degrees.

To say that men can menstruate is a lie, and that is now, that is what is said.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

You've never heard it.

Ryan, okay.

Check it out, folks.

Check it out.

Anyone who says a man would not menstruate is considered transphobic.

I missed this whole story.

Are you kidding?

I did.

Are you kidding?

Tell me where you're getting.

Where are you getting this?

Just Google it.

Can men menstruate?

But who is saying this?

Who is saying this?

Everyone is saying this now, Bill.

That was three years ago.

The entire audience laughed at him, laughed at Dennis Prager for saying, it's crazy what's coming, what's going on, that men can menstruate.

And they all laugh.

Those same people that laughed three years ago are now the ones enforcing it and saying that you are a hateful bigot if you say no, men cannot mend straight.

This is how fast it's happening

back in 60 seconds.

In almost all cases, the secret to success in buying or selling a home is having the right real estate agent.

It's not just as simple as having somebody who knows how to find a good home for you that's in your budget or, you know, get your home out there at the best possible price.

Those things are important.

Those are musts, but there's much more to it.

The agents we work with at realestate agentsitrust.com take their jobs seriously.

They know the best practices to elevate your real estate experience to the next level.

When you go with realestate agents I trust.com, you're going to be working with the best in the business, people who sometimes literally work round the clock to get you into a home and to get your home sold, or both.

But don't take my word for it.

Contact them today.

find out for yourself realestate agents i trust calm a free service to you realestate agents i trust calm 10 seconds station id

so there is so much more

that you need to understand that i am just beginning to understand there's a reason why the left thinks that they can deny schools are teaching CRT or comprehensive sexuality education

and they can get away with it and they say it with a straight face and it is, it's true because it is much larger than CRT and CSE.

Those are components.

There are very powerful forces at work here.

I want to play something from Yaval Noah Harari.

He is the guy who wrote the book Homo Sapiens.

He is

a futurist, I think a

disturbing figure because he sees the world so incredibly different.

Listen to what he says is going to happen to sexuality and gender.

Looking to the future, and it also links to the other question,

I'm not sure there'll still be genders in 50 or 100 100 or 150 years

uh with this new ability to re-engineer to create bodies and brains and minds

re-engineer minds minds no genders in 50 years how could that happen now he's talking about no genders you know

The big number for everybody is 2050, that things by 2050 are going to be set.

That's where Elon Musk, that's where Stephen Hawking said, guys like this are going to be the end of Homo sapiens as we know it, because they'll just re-engineer everything, including our minds.

Well, if you have a baby today,

they'll be 20

in 2042.

That's eight years away from this new utopia.

Now, Yaval Harari is loved by the left.

He's an agenda contributor for the World Economic Forum.

It turns out that the World Economic Forum has been big lately on something called social-emotional learning.

What is that?

I'll tell you in a minute, but basically,

it's this in a nutshell.

Woodrow Wilson once said, the purpose of a university should be to make a son as unlike his father as possible.

Well, they've done that in the university, and now they've decided to move on from universities and straight for our kids in K through 12.

Now, remember, it's not just K through 12 anymore because

they've promised universal pre-K

so they can get your kids in nursery school.

That way you can concentrate on what you do, you know, going out and working and earning money.

They'll raise your kids.

Universal pre-K.

Well, what's the plan?

We've traced it all the way back to the CDC, and I'll explain it to you in a second.

Stand by.

The Glenn Back Program.

So what are you doing right now to make sure that you and your family are prepared in case of a disaster?

I mean, if this doesn't feel like this train is

ready to go off the tracks, I don't, I mean, if you can't see the danger ahead, I don't know what to say.

If the answer is, I'm not really that prepared, drop whatever you're doing and go to preparewithglenn.com.

There are food shortages that are coming.

Did you see the government has just put in new restrictions for the railroads?

And they're just trying to clear things up.

And one of the restrictions is you can't carry too much fertilizer,

on the trains.

You got to back off of that.

Really, that's very helpful to farmers at this point.

When food shortages hit, they're going to hit all around the world.

Hopefully, we will be able to eke out, but it's going to be very expensive.

Please, don't be somebody waiting for help.

Be somebody that can help.

The promo code is Glenn to save $10.

All right, I'm trying to race through this information on what is happening in your school.

Please, if you've missed any part of this, go back and listen to the podcast.

Better explanation is on last night's special.

You can watch it at blazetv.com.

It should be up on YouTube.

I don't know if it has been banned or assuredly it has been demonetized, but

please look for it there.

If you can't find it there, please become a subscriber to Blaze TV.

So when we began to look into all of this, we traced the roots of all of this to the government through the CDC

when they began to study what they called ACE, adverse childhood experiences.

These programs looked at various childhood experiences that affected children development and could ultimately result in an early death.

The listed experiences have evolved over time, and that's the problem.

This is from the National Conference of State Legislatures.

It sums up what is currently included.

Some are physical and emotional neglect, okay?

Emotional and sexual abuse, good.

Domestic violence,

divorce.

Then it says, etc.

Well, a few more have been added.

Discrimination, community disruption.

What is that, Stu?

Did you look that?

I asked Stu to look this up because Community disruption, is that COVID or?

Community disruption means any disruption, unrest, interference, protest, or unauthorized access in any form, which is caused by members of the community and/or community representatives, which may have effect or may affect operations of the site.

So, in other words, delays or damage.

BLM and all of that stuff.

All the burning.

Tying yourself to a tree, putting yourself in a pipeline obstruction.

So, the National Conference of State Legislatures say discrimination, community disruption, lack of opportunity, and social capital.

Now, gender identity is not specifically mentioned in this yet, although it is being taught in all of our schools as though it is.

The idea is very clear.

This is from the CDC.

Every child can easily be categorized into one of these areas of concern.

So the government need to come up with a plan to tailor education in in a way that helps our kids because, you know,

government is always there to help.

So the solution to all of this, directly from the Centers for Disease Control, was an education model called whole school, whole community, whole child.

The model began to change the roles of schools and teachers, and the trick was to identify what it was and then

what was the issue that was holding the child back, then push those children into one of their little oppressed or oppressor groups.

The model focused on intervening in 10 key areas.

See if this doesn't touch every aspect of your child's life.

Physical education and activity.

Nutrition.

health education social and emotional climate physical environment health services counseling psychological social services employee wellness i don't even know what the community involvement and family engagement.

This is what they mean by it takes a village.

Government involved at every aspect and every level of your child's life.

Now, normally,

I am big.

I'd really like some people to start picking up this idea of abolish the Department of Education.

But remember, this is going into the Department of Education from the CDC.

This is an all government

project.

All government is doing this.

So now,

how is this really

working?

Well, if you go back to the whole school, whole community, whole child, the overall goal is to impart or direct every aspect of our kids' lives, but it takes a village to implement.

Comprehensive sexuality education and CRT,

That's what we've been fighting, but they are under another umbrella.

As per ACE or childhood adverse experiences, every kid can be grouped or categorized along these lines for something.

Racism, oppression, gender, whatever they need.

But then something to bring it all home.

The master grooming or brainwashing technique to tie all of it up in a neat bowl, a bow, what is the top of the triangle?

it's SEL social emotional learning it all ties together

and now we know the driver of whole school whole community whole child right

is the CDC

they admitted in their own curriculum publications CRT and CSE are parts of the pie but social emotional learning is how they get it all done see we are fighting a partial battle.

We are fighting battles, not the war.

We don't see the real war.

The real war is inside of our Department of Education and inside our CDC.

And

at least the bigger pie, I'm not sure it's the biggest yet, is social-emotional learning.

From the Collaborative for Academic Social and Emotional Learning and an outside group of activists that started in New Haven, Connecticut is a curriculum plan to teach what Florida just banned, comprehensive sexuality education with a collaboration between them and Planned Parenthood.

Here's one if you're watching for sixth graders.

I'm not going to show you the things that they're, you know, opening the kids up to again.

I showed you pictures like it earlier.

They're disgusting.

But this is more than just CSE.

It goes all the way to the top through outside leftist activists like CASEL, Planned Parenthood, all the way to the CDC.

This is a war, not a battle.

We've been fighting CSE

or CRT in a vacuum, and SEL has been charging ahead under the radar.

I didn't get this until the last couple of weeks.

This is being taught in schools all over the country country right now.

It's all being taught under the guise of social-emotional learning.

SEL is being designed to be taught in every school topic.

So you don't, we're not teaching CRT.

We're not teaching these things.

Really?

SEL

permeates and penetrates everything.

We don't teach that stuff.

Really?

Can I see your math book?

What?

Can I see your math book?

From the Seattle Public Schools.

Through SEL, math is taught not through numbers, but from the lens of four components.

This is the way they base all of their math problems.

Origins, identity, and agency.

Two, power and oppression.

Three, the history of resistance and liberation.

Four, reflection and action.

That's your math plan.

Now, does that sound like CRT or math?

We don't teach CRT here.

Yeah,

do you teach math?

Because under SEL,

that's how it gets in.

From their own curriculum, SEL took a hard turn as a lever for equity.

to take equity and just replace it with socialism and a pathway to dismantle inequities in children.

SEL has grown.

It is no longer called SEL in their own words.

It's TSEL, transformative social and emotional learning.

This is the admission from the American Federation of Teachers, the Teachers Union.

Jumping back to the activists also at CASEL, they describe one of the key principles of transformative SEL is to validate a student's experience of oppression.

You see, kids don't know that they're oppressed.

They may not know they're even oppressors.

The teacher's job is to make sure they understand they fit into one of those categories.

If your school denies teaching CRT, check out what's now in one of the core principles of SEL.

Quote, consistent with the pursuit of educational equity, equity.

We recently offered the concept of transformative SEL to reflect our interest in making explicit issues such as power, privilege, prejudice, discrimination, social justice, empowerment, and self-determination.

Yeah, but we don't teach CRT.

And just in case these examples aren't enough, Penn State University describes SEL as, quote, what?

With increased awareness of systems that perpetuate unconscious bias, ableism, and white supremacy comes the opportunity to dismantle, rebuild, and restore our collective humanity.

This is what the goal of your school is.

This is being taught to our children.

And they are keeping it from you.

This is brainwashing.

This is grooming.

There's no other way to describe it.

They use techniques and they describe them themselves in great detail.

One is called circles, where the teacher calls the student into a circle that opens with quoting a ritual.

The entire exercise is described as quoting a ceremony.

Now that sounds like religion, doesn't it?

Oh,

maybe you missed last week's specials on radio about America's new God and America's new cult religion.

So now teachers bring kids into a circle that opens with a ritual, described also as a ceremony where the teacher directs the students to discuss what makes them oppressed or marginalized or whatever mumbo jumbo gibberish topic of the day is.

The entire brainwashing program starts at preschool.

It evolves throughout the entirety of child schooling.

And remember, this program is designed to be integrated into every class: math, English, history, everything.

Now, let me ask you a question:

Does your family survive this?

Are your children prepared for the real world

if they get this education?

This is beyond a bad education.

This is an evil education.

This is beyond our teaching.

Our kids will not be able to compete with countries like China or anywhere else that isn't learning this stuff.

This makes our children slaves, not only to those nations,

but to themselves.

The public school system is churning out justice.

This is a quote: justice-oriented

civic engagement children.

What does that mean?

Child activists.

Who will begin a movement to end the Department of Education?

Who will actually stand up to their teachers that they like and say, if you are part of the teachers' union,

You are funding this.

You don't have to be a member of the Teachers' Union, but it's the unions that are funding all of this.

I'm sorry.

You can't teach my child.

You can't know.

You can no longer claim to be a good teacher just trying to work within the system if you are still paying your dues to the unions.

Back in a minute.

Janet wrote in about her dog's experience with rough greens.

She says, our little rescue girl loves rough greens.

I fill her kibble bowl, and if there's no rough greens in it, she sniffs and then goes to the cupboard where it's kept and just waits until I add it.

Then and only then she eats.

She's a smart girl.

She's been a lot more energetic and curious now than she was before.

Thank you so much, Rough Greens.

I'll tell you, Janet,

my dog had a new life.

I mean, he was like a three-year-old puppy.

We started feeding him this two or three years ago, and he is totally different as a dog.

He eats kibble food.

He hated it.

This makes him love it.

But beyond that, I think it's the probiotics that we all need.

Antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, omega oils.

These are the things that your dog needs to live a healthier lifestyle.

And they're all in Rough Greens.

It helps others discover the program.

So how would, because I'm fully on board with getting rid of the Department of Education.

But how does that help this particular problem?

Won't it just localize it more so you'll have places like Portland, Jordan,

Portland will do all of this.

San Francisco will do all of that.

But I know that when I move to Portland or San Francisco.

Fine, if that's what the people want to do there.

I don't want it in my school.

And

it's being forced by the Department of Education.

They'll withhold funding if you don't do these things.

So that puts puts your local community into a role of going, I don't get any federal funds if I don't teach this.

And the Department of Education

is weaponizing now the FBI and the Justice Department if you stand against it.

You've got the whole federal government moving against parents.

It's got to stop.

It has to be defunded.

The Department of Education and quite honestly, all of them.

But the Department of Education is one where we should start.

And Republicans, you want a message that unites people?

You'll have 30% that say, no, our Department of Education.

But the rest of us are wide awake on what's going on with our school children.

It's got to stop.

Defund the Department of Education and shut it down.

It's a new day I've turned around.

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

This is the Glen Beck Program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glen Beck Program.

It is Thursday.

There's a lot going on today.

Some of it has to do with the press.

Some of it has to do with shutting down the libs of TikTok through doxing people.

The idea that somehow or another Elon Musk buying Twitter is going to hurt democracy and hurt freedom of speech, it's insanity.

And he just came out just a few minutes ago and said,

how much did he have ready to go?

Like $50 billion, something like that?

I think it's $46 so far.

$46 billion to buy Twitter, and they are going crazy.

I wanted to get a grip on some of these things going on with Glenn Greenwald.

He joins me in 60 seconds.

Every morning, I wake up and I've had a good night's sleep.

I can't tell you, I used to never be able to sleep all the way through the night.

I'm sleeping through the night all the time.

And all I did, honestly, was change my pillow, change my sheets,

and

voila, I'm literally sleeping through the night.

I used to toss and turn and I'd have to turn the pillow over because it was hot and fluff it up again.

I don't do that anymore.

I sleep through the night because my pillow, I don't know how it works,

but it's it's great.

And I would have never bought it.

If I picked it up in a store, I would say I hate this pillow.

But I slept with it and it's great.

And if you don't like it, it's a 60-day money-back guarantee.

And they've got all kinds of specials going on, including the Giza Dream Sheets, which are great.

60% off coming in as low as $39.99 with the promo code Beck.

Again, 60-day money-back guarantee.

So just try it.

So we have Glenn Greenwald joining us now.

Hi, Glenn.

Hey, Glenn, how are you?

I'm very good.

Thank you so much for joining.

I don't even know where to begin.

I guess I want to start with Taylor Lorenz and the Washington Post

exposing the person behind the libs of TikTok.

And I'd love to hear your opinion.

Mine is that I just think this has nothing to do with anything other than

that particular

thread was popular and

the libs of tick tock was making it

right and conservative so it's got to be shut down

exactly you know this is my my view on it is if you want to have some kind of journalistic debate in the abstract about whether it's newsworthy once a person accumulates a certain level of influence on social media and begins to do things like appear anonymously on cable shows like she has on Fox, that it's somehow journalistically justifiable to tell the public who this person is who's become so influential.

I wouldn't agree with that.

I don't think that's a proper way, especially for

corporate giants, media giants like the Washington Post, owned by Jeff Bezos, to be spending their time on masking private citizens.

But if you wanted to like argue that you can fit that within the definition of newsworthiness, that's something I could swallow, even though I wouldn't agree with it, if it were going to really be applied consistently.

Meaning that today I could go and find out the real-life identity of some popular trans woman who has a following a follow-a big follower account on Facebook and expose her, even though she claims that her anonymity is necessary for her safety.

Or maybe tomorrow, Fox could send a camera crew to the homes of Taylor Lorenz's parents and siblings in order to ask questions about her the way she did to the family members of this private person behind this Twitter account.

But of course, that would never be permissible.

If any of that happened, the media would have a complete meltdown.

They would declare some sort of National Day of Mourning.

If anyone did that to Taylor Lorenz or a Black Lives Matter activist or trans person on social media, This is nothing more than an attempt to punish private citizens for having the wrong political ideology under the guise of journalism.

So this whole abstract debate about what is newsworthy, it's just a fraud.

It's a pretext to cover for the fact that this is a political operation designed to punish somebody for making their voice heard with views that the media dislike.

Is this any different than the Twitter story with Elon Musk?

I, you know, I think in a lot of ways there are similarities in that one of the things that has happened is the censorship regime that has grown so quickly

on these Silicon Valley monopolistic platforms like Facebook and Google and Twitter.

You know, I think people have forgotten that the real test case, the first time it was really done, was only three years ago in 2018 or 2019 when these corporations united and decided they were going to ban Alex Jones and Milo Yiannopoulos from the internet and deperson them all at once and you know most people cheered because most people don't like those two figures and they ignored the precedent and we tried to warn them that this precedent was gonna create a censorship regime and I think what has happened is the censorship regime has become a very powerful tool in the hands of the corporate media because it lets them silence dissidents to their orthodoxies and people who compete with them, who develop a large audience.

Liberals of TikTok has a larger audience than a lot of media media out people do.

She's more popular, she's more influential, and they want to silence her.

So I think that's one big benefit.

But the other big benefit of it is become it's become a really valuable way of propagandizing the public.

I don't know if you saw, I reported on it yesterday.

A bunch of former intelligence and national security officials issued a letter denouncing attempts in Congress to rein in the monopolistic power of big tech by saying it's important that big tech have this power centralized in in their hands to censor the internet because that's how we advance U.S.

national security interests.

And a lot of power centers see this as an important tool to enforce liberal orthodoxy and to be able to punish, silence, and censor and banish any dissidents from it.

Let me switch again.

I can talk to you just about

everything.

You're so plugged in.

When I don't know if you saw the story, I'm sure you did, about the CIA

tracking Trump phones.

And this seemingly goes all the way back to 2014.

It's my understanding CIA cannot do that inside of America.

Does anybody care?

I don't think they do because the reality is that the

contrived and fraudulent scandal that dominated U.S.

politics for five years, basically during the entire Trump presidency and during the campaign, which is Russia Gate, was cooked up by the CIA.

They're the ones who manufactured that entire false political scandal as a way of undermining and subverting a president that they dislike, but who had nonetheless been elected to be elected by the American people.

And before the 2020 election, when they were so desperate to ensure Trump wasn't reelected, they did the same thing.

The completely false and fraudulent claim that the Hunter Biden laptop and emails that reflected Joe Biden's business activities in China and Russia were Russian disinformation despite being a complete lie was used by big tech to censor that reporting right before the election was used by the media to discredit it and that also came from the intelligence community.

You know, many of the same intelligence officials I just said signed that letter for big tech were the ones who signed the letter lying that this was Russian disinformation.

For me, this is Glenn, the most important and the most undercovered story of the last five or six years years is the increasing use of whatever you want to call it, you know, the security state, the deep state, the CIA-led blob, that increasingly their attention is not directed to foreign countries or adversaries or even foreign populations, which by charter is where they're required to operate, but instead is being the dark arts of these agencies are being used inward, domestically, to manipulate U.S.

public opinion and U.S.

elections.

And I hardly can think of anything more dangerous than this permanent unelected power faction in Washington now taking a major role in trying to dictate how the American public thinks and how they vote and the outcome of elections.

So some of the reaction to some of these things, for instance, the Lorenz and the Twitter,

you know,

insanity over Elon Musk says to me that they are afraid, really afraid, and people are starting to wake up.

Are we starting to turn a corner or is that wishful thinking?

Where are we?

Yeah, I think it's the most, I think it's a great question

because if you look at every metric, there is no doubt that public faith and trust in mainstream large media corporations is at their lowest level ever.

Nobody watches cable news because they don't find any value in it.

They don't trust

the hosts with one exception, which is Fox.

It still has an okay audience, but CNN and MSNBC are completely dying.

All these new heralded liberal digital outlets, you know, BuzzFeed and Huppington Post and Vice and all of those,

are completely collapsing.

I mean, they're disintegrating rapidly.

They probably won't exist anymore.

It's kind of like a complete consolidation where only the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal actually command an audience.

So they know that the public has completely turned against them.

And then at the same time, what you see is the rise of independent media.

You know, there was a time, and I would say just a short time ago, that the most influential voice in the United States in the media was yourself

looking at your audience and the influence that you have.

And you still do have a lot of that.

I would say now the most influential media person is someone who is completely disconnected from any media corporation or from even the discourse that they produce, which is Joe Rogan.

If you look at the sites that are growing as opposed to collapsing, the way mainstream media outlets are, it's all of the independent sites that promise free speech, that promise heterodox views.

And of course, the people who work inside media corporations are looking at this and they're petrified and they want to keep hold of the only things they still have, which for the moment are the ability to censor the internet using big tech platforms.

So when Elon Musk comes and says, I want to overturn the censorship regime and reinstate

a framework of free speech, of course they panic.

That's one of the few weapons they have left to preserve the little power that they have.

And also the ability to banish their competitors, people on independent media, is also something they're really desperate to keep as well.

And it does make me optimistic, but at the same time, power centers don't lose power without a huge fight.

And even though Elon Musk is the most powerful or the richest man in the world, if he really were serious about buying Twitter and were really serious about allowing free speech, inviting Trump back on the platform, allowing views that are now banned to be heard.

I think he would be in for a kind of a fight from the media, from the intelligence community, from the government, unlike anything he's ever seen.

Oh, I agree.

And I will tell you that I think we're dealing with people that kind of had the attitude, if I can't have it, no one will.

Yeah, I mean, there's so much bitterness and

professional jealousy.

You know,

a columnist at Substack, who's an independent writer, super interesting guy, mostly on the left, but very independent-minded, Freddie DeBoer, wrote an article about six months ago basically saying that the reason these people in the media are so vindictive and they love to destroy people's lives like you just saw Taylor Lorenz do by unmasking this woman to the applause of most of her colleagues is because they actually have a very miserable existence.

You know, they work for gigantic media conglomerates.

These media conglomerates are not doing well.

Nobody is consuming their product, which means the pay is bad.

The work conditions are bad.

They're required to turn out eight to ten kind of trivial, superficial articles a day or 20 a week just to keep the content bill grinding.

They're reaching middle age.

They have no job security.

No one trusts them.

No one likes them.

The work is unfulfilling.

That's why they're so angry.

And I think a lot of it is exactly what you said, that if you find success outside of their constraints, their corporate constraints, they despise you.

That's why they're so happy to see Julian Assange being imprisoned for his journalism, even though he's broken more major stories than anyone, because he's not part of their club.

And if you succeed like Joe Rogan has or anyone else, you become their target because that's the only thing they have left is that anger and rage about how the public has turned against them.

You or there was a Twitter story out from Jared Rabel.

He said, I boarded boarded a plane today with my son and mid-flight, the pilot announces that the mask mandate is over.

Flight attendants pulled off their masks, sneezed directly into their hands while screaming, this is MAGA airspace.

My son turned to me in tears and said, I don't know what to do.

Then after posting that, he got messaged from the New York Times, a journalist.

that said, I'd like to talk to you over the phone about what happened on your flight this evening.

Can you please give me a call at this number or let me know how I can reach you?

Hope this isn't coming too late for your day.

Thank you.

They didn't know that it was a joke.

Imagine how completely detached you have to be from

just basic American conservatives or just ordinary people who don't, who aren't affluent liberals who live on the coast, to believe a story like that, that, you know, conservatives are so vindictive that they would not only celebrate the elimination of mass, which is a very reasonable thing to do, but then start purposely sneezing into their hands to try and transmit virus and declare this is my, I mean, how much of a caricature must you have in your head about half the country in order to believe that?

The satire was, you know, extreme.

It was designed to be immediately recognizable.

And the New York Times reporter believes it because that's what she believes about conservatives.

And so this gigantic breach we have between the elite, affluent, liberal, coastal elites and the entire rest of the country, at least in my lifetime, has never been wider.

And it's one of the main reasons why no one trusts them because they live in a different world and speak a different language and their lives are completely removed from most people's experiences.

Clenn Greenwald, if you could hold for one minute, I just want to ask you one more question, and that is,

what is the the thing that we should really be paying attention to?

What is the thing that is keeping you up at night?

Like, this is so critical that we pay attention to.

We'll do that in 60 seconds.

Let me tell you about the Tuttle Twins books.

The, you know, knowledge, knowledge is power, and you need to really understand what's going on.

Right now, they're blaming inflation on everybody.

And you can blame inflation on the incredible spending in Washington, D.C.

on both sides.

But the one that you really have to worry about is the Federal Reserve.

People think, oh, the Federal Reserve, that's part of the government.

No, it's not.

No, it's not.

It's a corporation owned by the biggest banks in the country.

They're bailing themselves out.

They're printing money like there's no tomorrow.

It is the creature from Jekyll Island.

It is critical for every family to understand what inflation is, how it works, what causes it, how you stop it, and what the Fed's role is in all of this.

These books aren't going to last for long because I asked the Tuttle Twins people if they would make this one free because I think every family just needs to have it.

It is the creature from Jekyll Island, the Tuttle Twins, and you can get it now at tuttletwinsbeck.com while supplies last.

The Tuttle Twins and The Creature from Jekyll Island, Tuttle Twinsbeck.com.

10 seconds, station ID.

Glenn,

I'm torn on stories between SEL and what's happening in our schools to our kids

and the Great Reset

and ESG.

I don't know where to go.

What is the story or stories that you think everybody needs to pay attention to this?

Well, you know,

you can obviously make a case for multiple different stories as sort of the most important.

I come at things from more of a civil libertarian perspective.

It's how I started writing about civil liberties abuses on American soil in the name of the war on terror.

So for me, there's a second war on terror that has been launched, not without much, without with very little fanfare, in the name of January 6th that is entirely domestic in nature and is entailing a whole variety of rollbacks of civil liberties.

The way the January 6th defendants have been treated, regardless of what you think of the January 6th riot,

has been, I mean, unrecedented.

And it's creating all kinds of precedents about being able to turn protesters into felons, about the ability to punish people for their political views.

And then at the same time, we have an actual foreign war as well, which is ostensibly between two other countries on the other side of the world, but which the United States is increasingly involved in.

Biden announced another $500 million today.

Every kind of 10 days, there's another $750 million just flowing to Ukraine, weapons being bought, given to Ukraine.

And again, whatever you think of that war,

with each war, there's always civil liberties rollbacks,

kind of suppression of dissent.

And these two parallel wars, the domestic war on terror against the Trump movement in the name of January 6th, and this war against Russia that the West is waging,

is making me very concerned about people essentially losing sight of every other thing that the government is doing.

100%

agree.

And I am so afraid we are getting into a war

of convenience here to be able to enact all kinds of things

that, you know, we're collapsing our economy at the same time.

And

this is only hastening that.

It's an interesting time to be alive.

Glenn Greenwald, thank you so much.

We'll talk again.

Always great to be with you, Glenn.

Thanks.

Have a great day.

You bet.

So, we were just talking with Glenn Greenwald about concerns about the war

and the war internally and the war externally.

And it brought me to the recommendation of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation.

Now, this came out Easter Sunday,

and I don't know how good the translation is.

I use Google Translate, but according to operational data during mass celebrations on the occasion of Easter, the threat of a retaliatory nuclear strike from the NATO countries is possible.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation asks all citizens to independently bring the basements of their homes as well as nearby bomb shelters into habitable form.

The date of inspections of equipped shelters

by the Ministry of Emergency Situations will be announced separately.

Also, all citizens need to create fuel reserves at the rate of 80 liters per vehicle, drinking and industrial water, long-term food, cereals, pasta, canned meat, fish, sugar, salt, and basic medicines.

Why are we talking about nuclear war again?

I mean, if this isn't the kind of madness that,

you know, we all thought maybe couldn't happen because our leaders were all too,

you know, clear,

I think we're living.

I think we're living that very madness that our leaders...

the people don't want.

And I know the people of Russia wouldn't want nukes used.

And I don't think anybody in the U.S.

wants nukes used on Russia.

Why is this keep popping up?

Well, it seems like Russia is trying to communicate to the world that they may very well use a nuclear weapon.

Right?

I mean, they went on super mega high alert.

We did not.

Apparently, the super mega high alert, however, we found out maybe a week later that that is in their

checklist when they go to to war that they automatically automatically raised.

Well, they haven't gone to war, Glenn, it's a special military officer.

Oh, yeah, you're right, Terry.

You're right.

You're right.

But yeah, I mean, and now this, it seems like Russia is

signaling, at least they want the world to believe that this is possible.

And, you know, of course, they're in the middle of all sorts of

things going on in Ukraine where they are using sort of the most brutal tactics possible to try to knock over their enemy, right?

So that is consistent with that idea.

Hey, we may very well use the nuclear weapons.

You should be worried about that.

They're trying to give us the twitchy eye that maybe they might just do it.

I guess.

They do seem to be the ones starting this talk.

Well, it does say

a retaliatory nuclear strike from NATO countries is possible.

So they're not saying first strike, thank God.

But

they're saying, I guess

they would use a nuclear weapon of some sort, and then we would retaliate with one.

You know, I watched something last night.

I saw this

alert

last night, and I thought, hmm.

And I listened to something I haven't listened to since I was a kid.

Listen to this.

This was produced for schools.

We all know the atomic bomb is very dangerous.

Since it may be used against us, we must get ready for it, just as we are ready for many other dangers that are around us all the time.

Fire is a danger.

It can burn whole buildings if someone is careless.

But we are ready for fires.

We have a fine fire department to put out the fire, and you have fire drills in your school so you know what to do.

Automobiles can be dangerous too.

They sometimes cause bad accidents, but we are ready.

We have safety rules that car drivers and people who are walking must obey.

Now, we must be ready for a new danger, the atomic bomb.

First, you'll have to know what happens when an atomic bomb explodes.

You'll know when it comes.

We hope it never comes, but we must get ready.

It looks something like this.

There is a bright flash, brighter than the sun, brighter than anything you've ever seen.

If you were not ready and did not know what to do, It could hurt you in different ways.

It could knock you down hard or throw you against a a tree or a wall.

It is such a big explosion, it can smash in buildings and knock signboards over and break windows all over town.

But if you duck and cover like Bert, you will be much safer.

You know how bad sunburn can feel.

The atomic bomb flash could burn you worse than a terrible sunburn, especially where you're not covered.

Now, you and I don't have shells to crawl into like Bert the turtle, so we have to cover up in our own way.

First, you duck, and then you cover, and very tightly you cover the back of your neck and your face.

Duck can cover underneath a table or desk or anything else close by.

In Betty's school, they are talking about the atomic bomb too.

Betty is asking her teacher, how can we tell when the atomic bomb may explode?

And her teacher is explaining that there are two kinds of attack, with warning and without any warning.

We think that most of the time we will be warned before the bomb explodes so there will be time for us to get into our homes schools or some other safe place our civil defense workers and our men in uniform will do everything they can to warn us before enemy planes can bring a bomb near us you may be in your schoolyard playing when the signal comes

That signal means to stop whatever you are doing and get to the nearest safe place fast.

Always remember, a flash of an atomic bomb can come at any time, no matter where you may be.

Holy cow.

That's the kind of stuff that I grew up watching in school.

You would have

an atomic bomb thing.

I don't think it was every year, but I remember going home terrified.

terrified of the bomb.

And you notice what they said?

The bomb is so strong, it could knock you down.

Yeah, kids, it'll also vaporize you.

That's another one of the options that the whole duck and cover thing didn't ever cover.

It is just bizarre that we are sitting here at this time.

And

I know the heart of the American people.

The American people care deeply about the people who are having their lives destroyed over in Ukraine.

But

none of us,

none of us would say, let's get into a nuclear war.

If they launched, if Russia launched

a nuclear missile or dropped a nuclear bomb, even one of the strategic, you know, low-yield nuclear bombs,

anywhere,

except in our territory, would you be for a retaliatory strike?

Yeah, because this is an interesting thing.

I think we've always thought of nuclear war like that, right?

Nuclear war is big flashes on your home turf and massive city-destroying nuclear weapons.

And then when they fire those, we retaliate

mutually assured destruction, right?

That's the standard recipe over many decades.

Well, the new world is, of course, they have these strategic nuclear weapons that can be used on battlefields.

It can be used for all sorts of different purposes.

I mean, certainly, you know, if Russia comes tomorrow and decides, you know, Mariupol is going to be the subject of the first usage of one of these weapons, it's going to do a lot of damage there, but that would not be something the United States would advocate a nuclear response to.

If that happened,

and let's say Russia hits a NATO country, like they drop one in Poland, in Poland,

would you be for us

firing ICBMs?

Yeah, and I

we would be bound by treaty to

respond, but not like that.

Yeah, right.

Right.

I mean, we would do everything we could to stay out of that, I think.

At least with nuclear weapons.

With nuclear weapons, we would be in a war with Russia in this circumstance.

I don't think there's any doubt about it.

Even if you don't like the treaty, even if you don't like NATO, it would be hard to imagine the West overlooking a nuclear strike on a NATO

country of any sort.

This is a real clear case, at least to me, I feel.

Like the people of the world

are so disconnected to the leadership of the world.

The leadership of the world, they're not listening to the average person.

It's all being run by these seemingly group of crazy people.

And the rest of us are sitting here going, what the hell?

Where are we going?

What, what, what, wait, what's happening?

And it seems that, I mean,

if God forbid something like this happens, I hope someone's around to, you know, write down or tell, I don't know, the

poor guy who's just broken his glasses sitting at the library, you know, just wanting to read books because that's all he ever wanted to do, Twilight Zone.

I hope somebody is alive to say

The average person was not for this.

The average person on the world knew this was madness, absolute madness.

And in the end, what destroyed us was our leaders.

Back in a minute.

There aren't too many companies out there right now that

I feel you can buy from, and you can really be proud to do business with them because you know they're not only a non-woke company, but they are actually somebody who's working against a lot of that stuff.

They are standing with you and fighting for basic rights.

Patriot Mobile is that company.

It's America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider.

They offer the same nationwide coverage as the major carriers.

You'll get the same great service.

They're on the same cell towers.

And your money is not supporting things like Planned Parenthood, like if you are with Verizon.

Their 100% U.S.-based customer

service team provides amazing service and they share our values.

They support

the Constitution and organizations fighting for religious freedom and constitutional rights and sanctity of life.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

You know, it's just, it's weird to talk about nuclear strategy because we haven't talked about it since really my generation.

It's been a thing that was over.

And now we're looking at it again because of Russia.

And I just want to make it really clear.

If they blew up New York City, I would expect to go outside and see missiles being launched from us towards Russia.

I would expect that.

And you approve of it, right?

Yeah.

As bad as it is, and the result would be if they blow up a major new U.S.

city, that is why we have these weapons and we're at full release almost.

Correct.

Certainly Moscow does not exist.

Right.

If they blew up,

I would think we would retaliate by blowing up Moscow.

Yeah.

Not all of us.

Maybe not a full release.

I don't know.

Maybe we would.

It would be on the table.

Yeah.

The

thing that

if they bombed, let's say, Warsaw, an attack on one is an attack on all of us.

But I would then hope that the United States would open all those mission all those missile doors, put us on DEF CON one, and then call up Russia and say, what the hell are you thinking?

And we would be at war.

But let's hope that

it wouldn't go to nuclear nuclear war.

I mean, I would expect that if we launched missiles in retaliation, they're going to launch missiles at us.

You know what I mean?

Right.

And so it's just, then it gets into mad, mutually assured destruction.

And of course, this world where Russia has decided to blow up a city, a major city in Poland, is a NATO country, is a world that's so crazy that this is going to escalate to that point almost immediately anyway.

I mean, you know, if

there's this this idea that Vladimir Putin wants strategic goals in Ukraine and he's trying to take what he wants and believes is his and

rebuild Mother Russia and all that jazz.

But there's the other idea is, you know, this guy is a psychopath and whatever has changed in him over the past few years is a change that makes him completely unpredictable.

I mean, we would be delusional to believe that it stops at a nuclear weapon hitting a NATO country, Poland.

Like,

if this guy is that crazy,

there is no containing Vladimir Putin.

I mean, like, and again, like, I don't think he's going to do that, but I am.

You have to look at his actions where he is now multiple times bringing this up.

He is the aggressor here.

You have to worry about how far he's willing to take this.

So, we know that

the leadership in Iran, they've just said, just recently, that they will now launch a nuclear missile and destroy Israel, burn in the fires of the Islamic fury.

And we've always taken that seriously.

At least we have.

Do we respond to that?

We don't, I mean, you know, we don't respond with nuclear weapons, right?

I mean, look, there's a little secret that Israel might be able to do that on their own.

Yeah.

I don't know if that's just a rumor.

I'm not sure.

I'm just using that word secret.

But I mean, I wish we would do more of the Israel nuclear treatment thing with what we're doing in Ukraine.

You know, we just had Joe Biden while we were talking is on television saying

we're putting $800 million of weapons into Ukraine to obviously, what do you do with these weapons, kill Russian troops who did invade Ukraine.

I mean, believe me, they deserve to be fired at by Ukraine.

But like, we're telling everyone what we're doing.

Israel, I think, even at this moment, officially does not have nuclear weapons.

Right.

Officially.

Yeah.

Now, they do have nuclear weapons.

It's breaking news, but officially they don't.

We're not only telling them what we're sending, we're also telling them where we're sending it.

And we're telling them that, oh, by the way, Ukrainian troops are going to cross the border into Poland, and our special forces are going to be there, and we're going to train them.

We're going to train them.

We're going to train them.

We're announcing an escalation of the weapons we're sending there now.

Like, look, if you're going to do that, a news broadcast to the world is not a great place to do it.

Are you trying to avoid war or are you trying to escalate it?

I mean, you know, there's a lot of people who are.

I just don't understand what policy or what changed their mind from we can't send over a plane to Poland if Polish leave their planes in another country and Ukrainians find those planes and fly them to, oh, we're sending tanks and howitzers over.

This is the Glenn Bach program.

Are you saying space is not amazing?

No, space is amazing.

It affects us all.

You know, what people don't know about space is it's all around us.

What?

Yeah.

If you looked at a picture of the Earth, it would literally be all around us.

That is so deep.

Yeah, very

just like space.

Space is deep.

Did you know there's deep space?

I think it was Sarah Gonzalez who said it was just like what happens when you have like a book report and you didn't do the work and you're like trying to do a speech about it for a while.

Oh my gosh, that is so right.

That is so right.

Yeah, I tell you, the depression,

the depression, it was depressing.

Yeah.

It was

long.

We all know the impact.

How do we, how do we, depression, how do we think about something like that today?

And that's the question we have.

In case.

got no room to compromise.

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

Stand up straight and hold the light.

It's a new day of 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.

Yeah, last night I did a special on what is being taught in our schools,

the comprehensive

sexuality education.

It's actually,

as you look into it, under

a whole different thing.

That's why they can say they're not teaching critical race

theories.

They're not.

Because

there's an umbrella that affects the math, the history, and everything.

And all of those concepts are all now in the textbooks

completely unrelated, if you will, to CRT.

It's just the same exact ideas, just made into math problems.

That's how it's being taught.

And our schools are on fire right now.

I wanted to give you a little bit of hope of a couple of people.

One is a local person that is running for her independent district school board.

The voting starts next week.

I just wanted to talk to her because she, I think, started out kind of like the average parent.

You know, didn't really know there was a problem until she started attending

some of the school board meetings.

And they started saying, Yeah, this is not your meeting.

This is our meeting.

So sit out to the parents.

Then I want to introduce you to a guy who's running the

the education department in Oklahoma

he came out with something yesterday where he was telling this the schools in no uncertain terms you're not to do this anymore and I haven't heard anybody that frank in a very long time he'll join us too all this hour we begin in 60 seconds

You know, I've been saying for a long time the dollar is going to be devalued by our Fed

and there will come a time when we will be so weak that the rest of the world will say, go now, now, now, now, now.

We're living those days right now, and we're seeing our dollar being weak, and our president being weak, and our Fed in so much trouble, and our enemies around the world are dumping our dollars right now.

We've got stacks and stacks of cash.

Imagine stacks and stacks.

But you can't buy anything with it because it's worthless.

That's the world we're headed for with the US dollar.

And I think it may have, you know, longer than I think,

but a shorter period of time than we would all hope.

Please put yourself into a situation to where you have something left in the end.

Gold or silver is the hedge against insanity, against currency collapse, hyperinflation, all of it.

Just inflation.

It will hold the value of your dollar.

We want to welcome to

the program Stephanie Allod.

She is running for the Texas School Board position,

and that voting

begins, I think, Monday the 25th, which is next Monday, right?

Stephanie, welcome to the program.

Thank you, Glenn.

I wanted to put you on because I wanted to use you as an example of somebody who is just a normal person,

just a parent that started seeing problems and you're getting involved.

So tell us your story, Stephanie.

Sure.

So I actually moved to Texas about nine years ago.

I live in Frisco, so it's the Frisco Independent School District.

And my husband and I moved here nine years ago.

I was born and raised in California, lived there my entire life.

And we moved here due to my job promotion.

And when we were trying to select, you know, community to join and be a part of, we had two, we have two kids who are still in Frisco schools.

They were much younger then.

Everywhere we went, we we heard Frisco ISD was the best school system in North Texas or one of the best, right?

So we, my husband and I, we wanted to do the best for our kids, of course.

And so we said, I guess we're moving to Frisco.

And so we did.

And the first few years, it was really amazing.

And we couldn't believe our luck.

And then we started to notice some things.

And we didn't really know, you know, maybe that's just how things are, you know, as our kids got older.

And then we started to notice some more things.

And then I think like a lot of parents in COVID, during COVID, we really started to notice some things

about how how things were run what was going on what what they were teaching what they weren't teaching and so I decided to show up to a board meeting last April actually

and as I was sitting in the audience waiting you know very politely for my turn to speak the school board president at the time said this is our meeting and he said it kind of rude and he said it a couple times and I thought wait a minute isn't this supposed to be the community's meeting isn't it our meeting I was really kind of flabbergasted quite honestly by the comment so instead of reading my prepared comments that I had brought with me I decided to talk about that and so I said you know you said this was your meeting and I don't I don't think so I think it's our meeting and I think the people who've been sitting here for that point almost three hours deserved a little more respect than that when they were spending their time trying to be involved in their community so that's what kind of started this for me and then I started you know just I was also interested I'd been hearing about the CRT thing in the news right and I just wanted to make sure we weren't doing that in Frisco and I was assured oh no we're not we're not doing that in Frisco we would never do such a thing and then I started looking and I and one day I went on the board's website and I read their board priorities And they have one specific priority about equity, diversity, and inclusion.

And one of the bullets underneath that said, work to eliminate unconscious bias and support equity and and social justice through institutional leadership.

And that sounded a lot like CRT to me.

Yeah,

there's a lot of buzzwords there.

Yes, in one sentence.

Yeah.

There's a lot.

So you saw that.

And when did you decide you have to be involved?

Well, I think in that moment, where they said this is our meeting.

I think something inside of me just fundamentally shifted.

And and I just got I was I couldn't believe that that's how our you know so-called elected leaders were treating I said there was never any apology or clarification either later in that meeting or you know afterwards where we said where someone said you know actually it really is all of our meetings we didn't mean to communicate otherwise there was none of that and I realized that's how they really think like we're subjects or something and so at that moment I knew I had to do something I don't think I knew I was going to run but I knew I had to do something So I started meeting with other parents who were equally concerned.

We started to learn about some of these, you know, CRT-inspired assignments.

At the next board meeting in May, there was a parent who came who read from his son's assignment, and the writing prompt for his eighth grade middle schooler was basically the prompt was, you know, was assumptive that we're a systemically racist society.

And so he came because he was very offended and upset by that, and he wanted to bring it to the board's attention.

He also filed a formal grievance about the assignment, and nothing was done.

So,

it just sort of snowballed from there where parents wanted to do something, and we had dozens, and then it turned into hundreds, and then it turned into a Facebook page of over a thousand parents and community members who've kind of had enough and who want to do something.

And so, in the midst of all that, is when I decided to run for the board.

So, Stephanie, have you found SEL social emotional learning in the district?

Yes, well, they talk about that all the time, and they're implementing it, and they're quite proud of their efforts in that regard.

And I just learned at the last board meeting that they've approved some kind of program.

I haven't had a chance to really dig into it yet because I'm in the midst of the campaign, but they've basically approved a program that's going to survey students and ask how they're feeling and their emotions and things like that.

And that is obviously of concern.

And I know that parents can opt out and I will be opting you know my my kids out but

what people don't know go ahead what people don't know

well they just don't realize what's really going on and they don't know that these things are even occurring let alone you know how problematic it can be because they can ask questions like you know do you have a trusted adult you can talk to at home right you know well those kinds of questions can be very invasive and we've seen you know I haven't seen a ton of that in Frisco yet i've seen little bits and pieces but you see where you know the schools sort of come in and start to sort of take over the role as the parent and you see we've seen those things i'm from california so i hear about this stuff all the time all the time

Yeah, and so again, I haven't seen a ton of it in Frisco.

I've heard little bits and pieces, but I'm just afraid this kid

could make it work.

And I also, you know, my big thing, Glenn, too, is that I really just want the schools to teach my kids math and science and, you know, Spanish and whatever else they're taking and focus on academics instead of all of these other character-building things.

I mean, let's be nice to everyone.

Let's treat people with respect, right?

Everyone should be treated with respect at school and have some, you know, behavior standards.

We shouldn't bully.

We shouldn't do any of those things.

But we also don't need to be spending time and resources on things other than the academics because while we're doing that, our academics are falling off a cliff.

So

here's the interesting thing.

I just did a special last night on SEL, and I urge you to watch it because this one comes from the CDC

and then through the board of, I mean, the Department of Education to our schools.

And it's the reason why they can say, oh, we're not teaching that sexuality stuff.

We're not teaching

CRT because it's embedded in everything.

And so you'd have math problems that are dealing with, you know, social injustice.

And it's everywhere.

Social emotional learning, SEL, is, I think,

the key to understanding all of it.

There might be something bigger than this, but this is coming right from the CDC.

And it's our whole government is involved.

I mean, I just, you've got to get on the, parents like you have got to get on the school board and,

I don't know, take on the teachers' union.

And the rest of us have got to start standing up and demanding that the Department of Education is abolished because it's a poison right now.

Well, I think in Texas, the larger issue is really the Texas Association of School Boards.

They're actually a bigger concern of mine.

And as you may know,

there are over 20 states, I think it's up to 22 or 23 states now who have left the National School Board Association because of, you know, the stance that they took on calling parents like me domestic terrorists, right?

Texas is not on that list.

Texas has not left the National School Board Association.

California has and Texas hasn't.

That's embarrassing to me.

I will tell you, I think

Californian and current Texan.

It really is.

Stephanie, people like you are more awake than Texans that have grown up here.

They're just so numb to it all.

They're just like, it ain't going to happen here.

And it's happening right under their nose.

And they're not getting involved because they've just grown accustomed to being Texas.

The people who are coming in for the right reasons, you know, you might move here because your job transferred you, but you also were happy to escape California and you know what, you know what that looks like.

You guys are on the front lines in Texas.

It's really vital that people like you that understand the state you came from take this one by the reins and say, uh-uh, don't go that way.

Because most Texans, I don't think, get it.

Well, that's such a good point because

I am from California, I see this stuff a mile away.

I see the seeds of it and how it starts and how it grows.

And, you know, we moved to partially, yes, because of my job promotion, but we had been talking about leaving California for a couple of years prior to that.

And when all this stuff came up, you know, like I said, the first few years, we kind of lived in a bubble.

We thought we were kind of done with all this.

We were in Texas.

We were safe, right?

But then we realized we weren't.

And so my husband and I looked at each other and we said, I guess we better get involved and fight here because where else are we going to go?

So that's what we're doing.

Good for you.

I'm sure there's no polls or anything, but if somebody wants to find out more about Stephanie, if you happen to live in the Frisco area it's Stephanie the number four

10 seconds, station ID.

you know I just don't know what to what to do and I think I feel like most parents that you know dude I am fighting for my life I get home at the end of the day and I feel just like everybody else and I'm living a pretty good life compared to the average person and even i come home and i'm beat at the end of the day.

I feel beat up.

I feel like I've been in a war.

And then, you know, your kids are home and they're doing their homework and they've got, I have two teenagers.

Oh, dear God.

And, you know, you've got all of that drama going on in your house, plus anything else that's happening in your life.

And you're like, oh, wait, I've got to go to a school board meeting.

I got to do what?

Or if somebody says, you got to pull your kids out of school,

right?

And how am I going to do that?

What am I going to do?

I think most people are like that.

And so they just kind of bury their head in the sand because they don't know what to do.

And I'm not telling you what the right thing to do is in your case, but you have to understand your kids are being indoctrinated unlike anything I ever thought before.

This is

clear grooming and indoctrination.

It's frightening.

It's interesting, though, that I think the left has reached so far so fast that they have taken people who may have just let this stuff go by and not even noticed it and turned them into people who are running for school boards.

Yeah,

you know, if they would have taken another 10 years to just slowly drip and drab this out, but they're doing exactly the same thing they did around 1918.

They just started going crazy, and Woodrow Woodrow Wilson was just pushing all this out and people saw it and they were like, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, I'm not for all of that.

And that killed the

progressive movement until FDR relabeled it as just liberal.

Didn't talk about progressivism anymore.

Just good old liberalism, which they had changed the definition and applied the progressive meaning to the label liberalism.

And that wiped out that movement for a decade.

Oh, yeah.

And then they never admitted that they were progressive until the 2000s, almost a hundred years.

Right.

They still did a lot of stuff that pushed it that way, but it did really ruin them for a while.

And I think that, you know, I think that's going on.

There's certainly that battle is going on right now.

People who are not involved are completely involved now.

It's affecting everything.

It is affecting your paycheck.

It is affecting the price of your groceries, the price of your home,

your your gas price.

It's telling you what movies you can watch and can't watch, who you can listen to and not listen to, what you can read and not read.

It's affecting your sports, your entertainment.

It's affecting your children.

I mean,

it's everything now.

And so no matter where you turn, it's a progressive wildfire.

Yeah, Elon Musk pointed out that Netflix is becoming impossible to watch because of the woke virus that's inflicting it.

At the same time, they're they're announcing a new series about men who are pregnant.

That's so crazy.

And at the same time, they're seeing the first drop in their subscribers and a 30% drop in their stock price.

Yeah.

And they had a 200,000 subscriber drop the last quarter.

They're expecting a 2 million subscriber drop in second quarter.

That's remarkable.

That's remarkable.

And I don't, I mean, look, there are other factors that play there, but that's a big one.

I will tell you.

People don't want to watch it anymore.

I was watching a show.

My wife and I, I don't remember what it was.

We watched it and it was like, you know, eight episodes.

And we got to seven episodes in.

It was great.

And the last episode all became about global warming and political correctness and all this crap.

And I'm like, you've got to be kidding me.

I mean, I wanted to go fight.

I wanted to drive to Netflix and file a complaint.

You've wasted, you know, eight hours of my life, and this is what it is in the end.

It's just, I think people are just really getting sick of it.

Really getting sick of it.

And the people who used to just, ah, just not say anything.

Let's not say anything.

It wakes people up.

When they try to do it this fast, this hard, going for everything they want all at the same time, it's the thing that tends to wake people up.

That's why I said earlier, we're at the end of the progressive era.

We're back to the revolutionary era.

Once you get so far, the Marxists are on mask and that's it.

Speaking of reaching too far too fast by the left, the Great Reset is available now at GlensnewBook.com.

I saw a letter that honestly I want to frame and hang in my office.

I love it so much.

It was from the Office of the Secretary of Education

to the Oklahoma State Board of Education.

And Ryan Walters is the name of the Oklahoma Secretary of Education.

He writes, I am asking the State Board of Education for an emergency special board meeting this week week to address the Stillwater Public School Board's complete avoidance of their elected duty to protect, educate, and oversee the care of our most important asset, our children.

Since the Stillwater Public School Board has neglected to do this, I'm asking the Oklahoma State Board of Education to give crystal clear guidance that boys use the boys' restroom and girls use the girls' restroom.

I could not be more disappointed in the Stillwater Stillwater Public School Board after they had heard from parents, teachers, and leaders across the state and country asking them to stop playing this woke gamesmanship.

Our kids need better role models and it is disappointing that the board members of the Stillwater Public Schools did not pay attention in their biology classes and they need further instruction on what a male and a female are.

Both myself and the Attorney General have tried to offer them a common sense solution.

Have males use the male bathroom.

Females use the female restroom.

I don't know how much more clarity I can give them.

Special accommodations have been made for students struggling with gender dysphoria in the past, allowing them to use private bathrooms that every school has.

Instead of using common sense, the Stillwater Public School Board has caved to far-left radicals.

Our schools should be focused on educating kids in reading, writing, and

mathematics and not involving themselves in a role that is not within their authority.

There are basic values that we as Oklahomans strive to live by.

Chief among them is the desire to put our children's safety first.

The Stillwater Public Board School Board has failed to put their children first, and I need you to guide them back to reality.

Perhaps you can succeed in giving Stillwater Public School Board the clarity they so desperately need.

Again, what I'm asking you for is to instruct the Stillwater Public School Board on what a male and female are.

That's fantastic.

The author is Ryan Walters.

He is the Oklahoma Secretary of Education.

Ryan.

Yes, sir.

Thank you for having me on today, Glenn.

This is epic.

I love this.

I'm sensing there was a little

you were a little peeved when you wrote this.

I was, and I still am.

I mean, you know, I have sent them, I sent them a letter a few weeks ago.

I thought they could solve this.

I told them not to put radicals over their students, not to put ideology over biology, and not to put wokeness over safety.

We've had parents, grandparents showing up at school board meetings talking about that we have girls in the school that are telling their parents they're not drinking any liquid during the day because they don't want to go to the bathroom because there's males in the female bathroom and they are uncomfortable.

We're talking about middle school girls, Glenn.

This is not hard.

It's not difficult, but we've got a far-left extreme group that is showing up and getting in the ear of these school board members.

And again, they're caving to them rather than putting student safety first.

And we're not going to tolerate it in the state of Oklahoma.

I tell you, you couple this with just CSE.

I don't know if that's in schools in Oklahoma, but you couple this with CSE, and your kids in middle school are all screwed up and hyper-sexualized, and it's going to be a disaster.

Right.

And I mean, and that's the thing.

And when I talk to parents across the state, parents want the reading, writing, arithmetic.

We want our kids to go to school and a focus on academics.

We want better for our kids.

We want them to have opportunities in life that comes from that understanding of our academics standards.

But this whole nonsense of pushing in radical extremism under the form of CRT or this hyper-sexualized curriculum, it is not going to happen.

I mean, we're going to continue to fight on this front, and we have to stand up.

And I have gotten hundreds of emails and phone calls from parents, you know, asking for more help on, hey, we're speaking up, we're showing up at school board meetings, and this is still going on.

And we have to take a stand.

We have to stand with families and say, your child is not going to go to school and face indoctrination.

We're just not going to allow it.

I have to tell you,

I wish Texas was as bold as you are right now.

But unfortunately, Texas, I think, is asleep at the switch in many ways.

Do you have SEL being

incorporated into your schools now?

Social-emotional learning?

Yes, sir.

That's something we're taking a look at.

We're starting to look back through our textbooks and look back through what's actually going on.

I've got a stack of complaints and issues from parents that I'm sifting through.

We've got parents that, again, are doing a great job here of being engaged.

And they've been sending me stuff, and we're digging into this because, again, you've seen these national groups that are sticking all this in curriculum.

And again, what in the world are we talking about all this stuff in a math class?

It has absolutely no place for it.

I'm going to tell you something else, Lan.

You know,

we're a conservative state here.

I've got teachers that send me this stuff going, you won't believe this.

I just got this curriculum and told I need to teach this in my class.

This isn't math.

This is not what I signed up for.

And so, yeah, I've been getting it from parents and teachers sending me this curriculum going, hey, what is this?

And so, we are doing a deep dive.

Governor Stitt and I are very committed to ensuring that our students are getting academics and not indoctrination in our schools.

So, we are actively taking a look at all those materials and what's available and making sure parents have that transparency that they deserve and seeing what's being taught in their schools.

And again, you send your kid to school, you're expecting them to learn those academic standards, not to be part of a social experiment by the far left.

So, Ryan, when I did a special last night on SEL and I found that it really started through the CDC and then through the Department of Education down into our schools, all these radical groups are involved in it.

The unions are involved in it.

What is the solution here?

I mean,

I think, A,

the

Board of, or not the Board of Education, the

Department of Education needs to be abolished.

It needs to go to the states, and the states need to take care of it, not the national, because the federal government is just corrupt through and through with all of this stuff.

Also, I think

everything shows me that the schools, the teachers, unions, they may not be involved in the local level, but they are involved up at the top in a big way.

What is the solution?

What's the biggest problem that we should be aiming for?

Absolutely.

I'm going to give you three things, Glenn.

First of all, you're spot on.

Isn't it amazing how many problems we have in education that come from the feds?

The Federal Department of Education should have nothing to do with the states.

We don't need it.

They're not helpful in any way, shape, or form.

All they do is find a new social experiment.

It was Common Core, and then it was CRT, and now it's all this over-sexualization.

That is all that we've gotten from them.

There's no help, to your point.

They cause more problems.

They don't need to be involved.

That's why Article, you know, Amendment 10 of the Constitution reserves powers to the states.

And that's where education should be wholly located.

And so that's where we've got to get back to that.

Number one, number two, we've got to have school choice.

I mean, that's something I'm a champion for school choice because at the end of the day, you've got to empower a parent to say, I want to send my kid to this school.

If you're going to do this in this school, we're taking the money and we're going to go to another school.

And that is really the way to empower parents.

And by the way, that's why the Biden administration is attacking charter schools now.

I mean, the Biden administration, they force indoctrination and then they say, and by the way, you can't opt out of it.

You don't have another choice.

So that's part of this bigger national plan there.

And so we absolutely have to have school choice.

We have to get the feds out of education.

And lastly, we got to have transparency transparency so that parents can actually see what's being taught in the school have that relationship with the teachers and the school board and you know that's one of the things we want to see is school boards that are actually very open with what's being taught in their schools again going my background is i'm a former public school teacher and you know what every time i have a parent that wanted to talk to me or wanted to to work with me on their kids education i always thank them There's nothing better for a kid's success than an engaged parent.

It is outrageous that you've got a federal department of education and a president that act like it's a problem for parents to be at school board meetings.

It is absolutely outrageous.

We have to keep parents engaged, and we need to be finding ways to get them more engaged.

I will tell you that I've had teachers actually tell me,

Mr.

Beck,

we've got this covered.

When I asked for, tell me the books that you're going to be reading.

Do you have an extra textbook I can bring at home and work with them so I know where you are?

You know, let me help.

And they just scoffed at me.

We have this, Mr.

Beck.

I'm like, really?

Because you work for me.

I don't work for you.

You are to supplement me, not the other way around.

It's unbelievable.

A good teacher, and again, you know, I work with teachers every day.

Good teachers say, absolutely, parents, come on.

You know, here's what we're doing.

Here's things you can do at home.

Here's things to reinforce what we're learning.

I mean, I'm a history teacher, Glenn.

If my kids go home and mom and dad are going over World War II with them and asking them about what we covered in class and are showing the kids that, hey, what you're learning in school is important and we want to be a part of it, I'm telling you there's nothing better in an educational experience than to have a parent like that.

So I have, it is outrageous that we wouldn't have that approach in all of education to include parents, grandparents in their kids' education.

I mean, we all know the family unit is what's central to our society.

We need to be ensuring that those conversations are happening.

And that's where, again, I want the conversation around around the kitchen table to be about school choice, what school is best for you, but about what's going on in your school.

What are you learning about?

Let's get it all out here on the table.

Let's talk about it.

That should be the type of behavior we're encouraging rather than labeling parents to show up at school board meetings, domestic terrorists, and trying to make it tougher for charter schools around the state so parents have less choices.

Every good teacher I've ever met has always said, My gosh, we're so glad that you and others are showing up to these things, that you're talking to your kids.

We're so grateful because so many parents are disengaged.

We've gone from that to parents need to shut up and sit down.

We've got it.

And that's so dangerous.

Ryan, I appreciate it.

Thank you so much for thank you so much for your frank words and standing true to American values.

Miss a day, miss a lot.

Visit Blazetv.com today and never miss a moment of truth.

Well, I have to

tell you, you know, I didn't have confidence in the New York Times until I saw the the new executive editor of the New York Times in his sexy profile.

You've seen this picture?

Yeah, there he is.

Damn sexy, yeah.

I don't even understand what that is.

He's sitting on the ground with the newspaper kind of spread out in his socks like, hey, here are my turn-ons and turn-offs.

It is, I think,

in context, one of the strangest pictures I've ever seen.

I said the reason why it's so disturbing is because this is exactly the scene that I would tell my daughters when you go to work, if you see that,

nothing good is coming from it, turn around and walk out of the office.

That's exactly right.

Right?

You just start tweeting me too as soon as you walk into that room.

You walk into that room and you're like, nope, turn around and go out.

Now, like, if he was, I don't know, if he was,

you know, Vidal Sassoon,

right?

Like, right, like, if he was running a hair product company or a fashion, you know, okay, maybe.

Ralph Lorenz.

Right, Ralph Loren.

You walk in there.

Okay, maybe like the guy who's running the New York Times, what the hell kind of population is.

Can you imagine being in a meeting where he is talking to anybody in the New York Times about journalistic integrity?

All you'd think of is that.

Well, why would they be talking in the New York Times about journalistic integrity?

Why would that ever come?

That topic would never breach the doors.

Could I just touch on Kamala Harris delivering the explanation of space to the adult members of the space force.

Listen to this.

Space is exciting.

It spurs our imaginations

and it forces us to ask big questions.

Like, why are you here?

Space, it affects us all

and it connects us all.

Oh, man.

We are definitely making a new Veep Thoughts out of that thing.

Oh, we have to.

Veepthoughts.com.

It'll be up there later today.

I mean, this is crazy.

This is

Sarah.

Sarah Gonzalez, yes, she had a great point about this, which was like, basically, this is what happens when you have a book report due and you need to make a speech about it and you didn't actually do the book report.

It would be like if you were assigned to do a paper on the Depression and you didn't do any work and

you had to speak about it in class.

You'd be like, the depression, we all know it was really bad and depressing, and things were depressed.

And

it was a time

that was bad.

And,

well, I mean, in case I was supposed to study the other kind of depression, that's bad and is happening a lot, too.

Right.

Both of them are bad.

Both are bad.

Is that a coincidence?

Yeah.

It makes us think deep thoughts.

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

You know, I will say, Glenn, it's like the passage of time.

The passage of time is significant.

It is significant.

What is significant is the passage of time.

And that's why the time when it passes is so significant.

Especially in space, right?

Well,

I'm sorry to say it has been so significant in the last three hours that we've had together, but time has passed.

And so now our voice is just traveling lonely in space, asking deep thoughts.

This is the Glenn Back Program.
