Welcome back.
We missed you.
Thank you.
We're going to talk a little bit about Andre Cuomo and the vacant
president and his
comments yesterday.
Wow.
Was that intense.
Okay.
Anyway, first let me tell you about our spotlight sponsor, and it is Rough Greens.
If you are a dog owner, you know that taking care of your pet really means more than, you know, just giving him food and water.
The dog is part of our family.
Uno is, and I know your dog is if you have a dog.
We've been talking to you a while about
rough greens.
It's not a dog food.
It is something that you put on the dog, food.
You can put it on the dog, too.
It's not really going to benefit the dog.
Yeah, if you have a couple of dogs.
If you have a couple of dogs, the other one will lick it off the other dog.
My dog is the pickiest eater in the world, in the world.
But we put rough greens on it.
I think he's changing it.
You know what he did?
I caught him eating part of my wife's salad.
We were sitting on the floor yesterday because our house will be done in two weeks, you know.
Oh, good.
So we were sitting on the floor last night and we both got up for a minute and he was eating the salad and I'm like, what the?
This is rough greens.
No dog eats salad.
Anyway, free bag of rough greens for your dog just to try out.
All you pay for is shipping.

And hello, America.
It is Wednesday.
We've got a lot to talk about, but Stu is back.
And so, Stu, I got you a present here that I want you to...
Because we're so excited.
We've missed you so much.
And yeah, so if you just want to...
A return to work present?
A return to work present.
I mean, it's been, you know,
with Pat for a week.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I just kind of missed you.
So I got you a little present here.
And I think you're going to like it.
Now,
if you want to exchange it, that'll be fine.
I don't.
This is going to take me a second.
Oh, my gosh, just open it up for the love of Pete.
Can't you just rip boxes open?
I mean, I could, I guess.
Yeah, thank you.
Just rip the box open.
That's the way you do it on Christmas.
There you go.
There you go.
You're going to love this.
Just for you.
Just for you.
It's my very own screenshot of Andrew Cuomo resigning in a frame.
Yes.
Congratulations.
Hold that.
Put that on your wall.
Keep it.
We had it all planned for your return so you can talk about the resignation of Andrew Cuomo in 60 seconds.
I love it.
I love it.
And you will have that in your office and hanging on your wall.
I know you.
Oh, yes, I will.
It's very solemn day in the world of cybersecurity.
Andrew,
Cuomo, the governor for the next 13 days.
You know, he'd been locked into
all of his duties.
And
now,
I mean, what's going to happen?
What's going to happen?
What's he going to do?
What's going to happen to all of his files,
all of the names in his Rolodex?
Wouldn't you love to be able to get his Rolodex?
Cyber criminals?
Maybe, maybe I'm on your side this time.
Listen, cyber criminals are really bad and they will affect your life.

Tonight on Glenn TV.
There's a movement for freedom underway in Cuba.
A demand to end the dictatorship.
But the American left says the Cuban suffering is our fault.
Glenn debunks the lies and asks big tech, where's your love of democracy now?
What can Americans do to help?
Watch Cuban Spring, debunking the left's lies about hashtag SOS Cuba tonight, 9 p.m.
Eastern at PlaysTV.com/slash Glenn.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program and the triumphant return of the guy who has known this for years.
One of the first Cuomo monologues Stu did was, is it just me?
He has been saying that he is
Andrew Cuomo is just awful at AndrewCuomo is justawful.com.
AndrewCuo is awful.com.
Important to get that right.
And you've been saying that not because of
his handling of the COVID and killing all the people in the nursing home or
sexually assaulting women.
You said it because
he's just awful.
Yeah.
Well, it's interesting because it really, my
obsession with how terrible and awful Andrew Cuomo was really didn't stem from the nursing home thing, which came later.
I couldn't understand why he was getting credit for this incredible handling of the coronavirus when, I mean, objectively, he oversaw the worst coronavirus response in America.
And at that time, I think the world.
You wonder, like, why is he getting praise for doing these amazing things?
And you kept hearing how great his press conferences were.
And I was like, am I watching the same ones?
Like, is he doing two a day and I'm catching the bad one?
What is happening?
And you know, you look at it, and I think fundamentally people look at it as this has advanced and said, Okay, Andrew Cuomo is awful because he killed thousands of people in nursing homes.
That's a good argument.
Yeah, right.
That's a good argument.
Andrew Cuomo is awful because he sexually harassed a bunch of people in his office.
Good argument.
I think, though, it gets it reversed.
It's not that Andrew Cuomo is awful because of these things.
Andrew Cuomo is awful and therefore these things occur.
He at his core is such a continually bad person at his core that these scandals are the obvious side effect of this larger illness that is Andrew Cuomo and his character.
He's been a bad guy for a really long time.
He's been corrupt for a really long time.
And the fact, I think a lot of this behavior, like when you're out there saying you're an ally in the Me Too movement, well, like the next day,
these complaints, these harassment complaints, he was going and harassing these women days after, making big speeches about me too.
You know,
that sort of hubris only comes from
a ridiculous amount of power that he shouldn't have had, a complete confidence that he would never get taken down, and an assistance by the media to a level that you can't possibly.
yeah the federalists had a um uh had a great take on this that
the one lesson uh that we should uh we should learn from andrew cuomo is that
he's not the problem
the problem really is the press
because the press i mean think of andrew cuomo's life his his father was governor so you know he had special privileges all throughout his life growing up um then he becomes governor Nobody's saying anything to him.
He's already a spoiled child, already expects to get his way because he's a Cuomo.
And he's also a very, very vindictive guy.
The press decides just to get into bed with him.
The press knew about Harvey Weinstein.
The press knew about Jeffrey Epstein.
The press knew about Andrew Cuomo.
They don't actually care.
All of this cancel culture stuff is bullcrap.
When it comes to the press, it's bullcrap.
I wonder if he's going to lose his Emmy.
They gave him an Emmy.
Will he lose his Emmy?
No, because they don't care.
If he's doing this stuff and they like him, it's fine.
Yeah, it's interesting because that is the difference with Cuomo.
They don't like him.
He is such a terrible guy and has been so terrible to the people around him for so long,
like Harvey Weinstein,
that they were able to actually look at the facts of the story and not feel terrible trying to take him down.
Because I will say, while I agree with the Federalists there that the media is a huge issue in this, there were some people who actually did go after
Cuomo.
And I don't know that without the New York Times jumping on the
bandwagon, although very late, I don't know that this stuff would have actually happened.
I don't know that he actually is.
Janice Dean deserves a lot of the credit for this.
Probably the most important person in making sure that this occurred is Janice Dean.
I mean, because especially because, you know, you look at Janice, who people know from, you know, she's been on TV for a very long time, but is not a hardcore partisan, is not known for going after people in a negative way at all.
I mean, her book is, is this like collection of sweet tales of parents like helping their sick children.
Like, it's like, she's like the nicest person in the universe.
Right.
And the fact that she was out there saying these these things about Cuomo almost shocked the system, I think, for a lot of people.
Wait a minute, this guy really is doing these things.
These are, this guy really is bad.
She wouldn't, she had no
incentive to become a person out there being
a lot of incentive to not
become that person.
And she didn't do that, which was vital.
I think.
So take me through because yesterday it was about, I don't know,
10:56,
the last couple of minutes on air, he decides to come out.
And all the word is, is that he is not going to resign.
And he starts his resignation with,
you know, look, I didn't do these things.
And I thought, and I said, because we ran out of time, I said, looks like this guy is just going to hold on.
10 minutes into it, he starts saying, so that's why I'm leaving.
Yeah, it was really, I think, shocking to a lot of people.
The first.
Really big issue here was Melissa DeRosa resigning, and that happened on Sunday.
DeRosa was like like lead henchman, you know, for Cuomo.
And, you know, we're going to find out.
I mean, I think there was illegal activity done by this administration, and they're going to have to go through all of this and sort it out.
So, she's, what's her name?
Giselle
Maxwell.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, yeah, kind of.
Yeah.
Like that person who was, again, Maxwell is accused of even much more serious crime.
Sure.
But
she was the enforcer.
She was the one who made it all go away.
And
she was berating employees, changing the nursing home report so that it didn't tell the truth.
You know, all of these,
targeting Lindsay Boylan, the first accuser, and
helping to try to ruin her life after she made this accusation.
And she was super, super loyal, like the lead loyalist.
You know, I don't know if she was
a really, is she a really terrible person?
Was she completely terrified too by Andrew Cuomo?
I don't know, but she did all sorts of things that I think are illegal or borderline illegal.
And when she, she really was the biggest loyalist, the fact that she stepped down was a huge signal that he was not going to be able to survive this.
But it was,
as far as I knew, yesterday morning, he was still telling people I'm staying.
He was still going back and forth after that.
He was trying to
figure out a way.
How can I cut a deal here?
And trust me when I say this, Andrew Cuomo didn't leave.
He did not resign office.
He realized he had no chance in staying.
He realized that this impeachment was going to throw him out of office anyway.
And he's seeing this as the best path forward for him because that's all he ever thinks about.
So this was not him resigning.
Ah, you know what?
I think I'm doing the right thing for the state as he tried to pull off yesterday.
So he's going back and forth deciding whether he's going to step down or not.
Again, just a personal calculation.
Didn't they have an attorney?
Yes.
His attorney was going to defend him.
And she did.
She came out for about 40 minutes and made an extensive case as to why this
report was one-sided.
And, you know, I mean, I think you could make an argument that it was one-sided.
I mean, they did include some of Cuomo's answers to these questions.
But like, you know,
everything you'd expect from someone who's going to, you know, defend this to the end.
And he came out, she came out and did this big presentation and laid out, went through each individual accuser and all the, all of that.
And at this point, reporters are getting word that
Cuomo has flown.
from Albany to New York City where she's making this presentation.
And they're like, is he going to make an appearance of some sort?
Like, he's going to come out and address this.
But they had no sense for sure that he was going to resign.
And he came out.
He started his defense.
He went through his defense.
He went through specific accusers and accusations and said, I didn't do these things.
They misinterpreted them.
These women, you know, that just absolutely didn't happen.
You know, he made kind of the,
look, I'm an old, the times have changed.
These lines have been redrawn.
And I tell you, I swear it was just yesterday I could pat a woman on the behind from the Steno pool.
And it's like this ridiculous madman defense he keeps trying.
It's like,
you became governor in the 2000s.
Right.
This is not, like, if you go back to 1870 when all this was okay.
And so he tried that thing.
He's trying to.
Miriam was at the mimeograph machine.
Yes, I thought she was doing a good job.
I gave her a little tap on the ass.
A little goose for her good work.
And so he tried that again.
And so it looked like he was going through this whole process.
And then at the end, he just said, look,
I think it's best for the state that I step down.
Now, of course, he does not care at all about anyone in the state not named Cuomo, as evidenced by who got all the COVID tests when they were really scarce.
All of his family members and friends.
But
he sees this as his only way forward.
Okay.
So I want to, we're going to take a one minute break and then I want to ask you, he's staying in for 14 days, which is weird.
Yes.
Maybe because he has no place to live.
It makes one of the former prosecutors from
the New York district for the FBI makes him very, he's like,
that's not normal.
That's not necessary.
I just hope that nothing nefarious is going on in the next 14 days.
I got to get a couple of promises on that one.
Yeah.
But I want to talk about where he goes next because I think he was positioning himself.
I don't know what for, but that was a position.
And maybe it was just positioning for a court hearing.
I don't think anything's going to go to court.
Maybe it does.
But once he's out of the way, then people generally try to, oh, let's just forgive and forget.
Let's go to a one-minute break.
Let me tell you about RekTech, and then we'll come back to this.
You got a lot to celebrate, so why not do it with a Rectech?
Time to fire that baby up, throw on some delicious steaks and burgers, maybe smoke some amazing ribs, get the family and friends over and say, look at this, huh?
Thank you, Andrew Cuomo, for resigning.
It's our Andrew Cuomo backyard party.
RekTech has smart grill technology, which allows it to monitor the cooking process all the way through, adjusting its own internal temperature as needed to make sure the heat from start to finish is exactly right so your food comes out perfect every time.
The whole time you can monitor it from an app on your smartphone or your device.
Don't take my word for it.
I want you to AB compare RekTech to the competition.
You are going to find that there is nothing, nothing at the price point especially
that will compare to RekTech.
RekTech.
Check them out now, R-E-C-T-E-Q.com.
That's R-E-C-T-E-Q.com.
RekTech.com.
10 seconds, station ID.
Hmm.
So
Andrew Cuomo is leaving.
Is he staying because he has no place to live?
Because he's always lived in the governor's mansion for so long?
Yeah, unlike so many other people who wind up becoming a governor of a state, he has no other home, no other residence.
So part of this might be him trying to line up a place.
But again, you know, you go get a hotel.
You can can get an Airbnb.
It's a 2021, right?
I mean, the case would be, get out of office.
It'll help you.
Yeah.
Just say, hey, guys, I need to stay in the governor's mansion for a couple of weeks.
Yeah.
And even that would probably work.
He's also got friends and family, and he could go do it.
With Chris?
I mean, they're talking all the time.
All the time, apparently.
That's another thing that's in the report we should get to at some point
today.
But
14 days should make you nervous for multiple reasons.
Number one, when you look at at the vacillations he had over the past few days, you realize that
it's not completely out of the question that he would just reverse himself in a week and just say, you know what, I am fighting.
Kind of the Wolf of Wall Street speech where he's out in front.
He's like, I'm staying.
I would not be shocked at all, except no one will be clapping in that certain episode.
That's the only difference.
So that's possible.
Very likely that he's got a bunch of stuff that he wants to get done before he leaves.
God only knows what it is.
That's, I think, the biggest real worry in that he would, he's got deals that have been working.
He's got things he wants to get in place.
He's got people he wants to move in positions that have been loyal to him.
Some of that stuff very well may occur over the next couple of weeks.
Would not be surprised at all.
It's also important to look at,
I mean, this isn't a collapse that is historic.
I mean, think about this, Glenn.
In October of 2020, he released a book about what a great job he did in the COVID crisis, and it was called Leadership.
And 10 months later, the exact people he was bragging about leading got him thrown out of office.
I was looking back at some of the early shows.
You mentioned this earlier, some of the Studas America monologues and such that I've done Cuomo going back to March 2020.
And one of them, I started, again, totally perplexed because
it's just come out that he has a 72% approval rating.
This is what, April or May of 2020?
72% approval rating in the state of New York.
And he went from that to such a dead end that a guy who would do anything to hold on to that office couldn't figure out a way to go forward, even for a few more weeks.
I mean, there was rumors that he was going to sue the attorney general's office basically to get the entire transcript of all these interviews, which likely he would be able to to get,
he'd have a good chance of winning that because if he's going to mount a defense,
he would need to know.
So that would probably take weeks and weeks and weeks.
He could have delayed this.
He would have eventually been impeached, I think.
But
he could have delayed it for months, and who knows what happens, right?
Oh, you just.
Bill Clinton.
Exactly.
Maybe something changes.
Maybe some big event happens.
Everyone forgets about it.
I mean, there was a time where a lot of people predicted that,
you know, Governor Blackface in Virginia was going to resign and he was able to kick the can down the road long enough to apparently survive a scandal where he's pictured in blackface yeah right i i think there's a chance honestly well the i'm my biggest concern about him in the next 14 days is
COVID.
I mean, there's so many emergencies that he could just take and
take a strong hand on and people would be like, we need him now more than ever.
Yeah.
You know,
that's what's scary to me on 14 days.
This guy, because this guy will do absolutely anything.
We saw him in New York on emergencies.
I mean, you know, Bloomberg stayed in office.
That was the economic crash where he stayed in office for a third term.
They're like, ah, I want to adjust the Constitution.
You never know in an emergency.
Let me ask you, how much money does he have?
$18 million.
And that's political money.
That's political money.
So he's got to do something with that.
He can't theoretically spend it on vacations, though.
No, but he should.
He can spend it on another thing that starts with a V, vindictiveness.
I mean, $18 million could destroy people who destroyed him.
Yes, and
$18 million does a lot to repair your reputation as well.
I mean, he holds on to that, and he can work back channels, funding that money to various candidates who suddenly have a change of heart over time about good old Andy and what a great time that used to be.
Would not be shocked at all.
I mean, you've seen that turnaround with someone like an Al Franken, right?
Yep.
Where they called, you know, Democrats were largely united in saying he should leave at that point, and now they're not.
They're now united to the opposite.
I mean, that arguably helped sink Kirsten Gillibrand's presidential campaign because she supported him stepping down.
The old Me Too thing didn't last all that long in that particular case.
It's not the last we will see of Andrew Cuomo.
More in a second.
This is the Glenback program.
I've talked about Patriot Mobile for a while now.
now.
You know what they stand for.
They stand for a great mobile service.
That's number one,
at a more affordable price.
Number two,
having the technology to stay ahead of the competition and stand for American values.
And they put their money where their mouth is every single time.
Especially when they talk about defending our values.
They donate a portion of everything that they make to conservative causes.
Like the big mobile companies, many are donating to leftist causes.
They're doing it on the other side.
They're on our side.
It's time to stop dealing with big mobile and make the switch.
We don't need them anymore.
Patriot Mobile, they have the largest coverage area of anybody.
They have the highest rated customer service.
They have lower prices.
Why are you still with them?
Go with the good guys.
Go the guys who are fighting the battle with us, not against us.
It's patriotmobile.com/slash back or call 972 Patriot.
Patriotmobile.com/slash back 972 Patriot or Patriot.com.
Well, Andrew Cuomo is out.
He's gone, we think, in the next couple of weeks.
Don't forget to get your mug or t-shirt, Andrew Cuomoisawful.com.
This is the Glendike program.
Today I am really excited to announce that the
Mercury One 10th anniversary party is happening
Saturday, October 9th.
The name of this event is The Power of One, Renewing Kindness.
And we are going to be telling you about some new initiatives that are going on.
Plus, it's going to be great.
We have American Idol former contestant and major Christian recording artist Danny Gokey and also Colton Dixon are going to be performing live at the Mercury One event.
They're adding these as tour stops to their tour stand-in faith.
Also,
I'm going to be hosting it.
I've got a lot of friends that are coming in for this.
It is going to be a great night celebrating 10 years of Mercury One.
We saw a need 10 years ago, and we have been working diligently.
We told you last year that we've started a new initiative at Mercury One, the American Journey Experience.
We'll tell you more about that and some new announcements for the next 10 years.
If you would like tickets, we'd love to have you.
MercuryOne.org or M1NextChapter.com.
It's a super spreader event.
You're not supposed to advertise it.
Oh, I'm not?
No.
Oh, I thought that was
not a good thing.
No.
Oh, okay, because I've been attending all of those things.
Anyway, except for the Obama one.
The Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Texas is where it's going to be.
So join us at the Toyota Music Factory.
Again, get your tickets at Mercury One or M1NextChapter.com.
You said 10 years.
You mean like it's been 10 years since Mercury One existed?
Yeah, 10 years.
10 years.
That does not feel like 10 years ago.
It's been 12 for the Blaze and 10 for
Blaze TV.
Wow, really?
10 years.
I announced Mercury One and then GB TV or what became Blaze TV the same day.
Wow.
That does not seem possible.
Yeah, no, it is.
So please join us.
We'd love to have you.
Where does it go?
I know.
It was just a little, just toddling along just, you know, just 10 years ago.
And now, look at it, it's all grown up.
Spitting up and
being fed with a bottle.
And here it is.
There it is.
10 years old.
Yeah, man.
Speaking of spitting up and being fed by a bottle, your thoughts on Andrew Cuomo.
Oh, man.
Well, I got a bone to pick with Stu because I heard you saying that he resigned because it was to his benefit.
Yes.
Now, I know you've been on vacation for a while and maybe you missed it, but he said from his own mouth it was for New York.
Did you not hear him?
Yeah.
Are you not here?
Or are you just flat out lying?
Because I also understand your name's not really Stu, it's Steve.
So if you lie about your very name
every day preaching that, how do we know?
You're a Canadian spy.
Yeah, and a
liar.
Right.
Because Andrew Cuomo said it was for New York.
This is all true, but I will not resign, just so you know.
I will not.
Oh, I will get a coalition together.
Oh, I'm hanging out here every day.
I was actually a tad surprised that he resigned yesterday because he started into the news conference just as the show was ending yesterday, and we were talking about that, and it looked like he was just going to continue to.
So here's the thing.
How long will it take before Chris Cuomo is out of a job?
Well, they're doing everything they can to protect Chris Cuomo.
Read any story, especially by a real mainstream outlet about this,
about the resignation, and you will see, hey, Cuomo went back and forth, and he wasn't sure.
And he was asking everybody.
And one of the big parts of the resignation was when Chris Cuomo, who was advising him, again, that was announced he wasn't going to really do that anymore, but apparently in a private conversation, it was okay somehow.
But that's not the thing to focus on there.
They're saying that Chris told him to resign.
See, Chris was the voice of reason, the good guy in the situation.
Wasn't he?
He's the good Cuomo.
Wasn't he the guy who was advising fight, fight, fight?
Yeah, he literally, in the report, literally wrote the initial response for his brother.
So he's writing the news while covering the news.
Writing it.
They have the email from Chris Cuomo outlining what to say, and basically he used it.
I mean, he changed a few words here and there,
but generally speaking, Andrew Cuomo's words that first time he addressed it were Chris Cuomo's words.
And now they're trying to make it out like, look, he advised him.
He said the right thing to do is to step down.
And who knows, might not have happened without Chris Cuomo's guidance in this situation because they're trying to
Cuomo.
You know what?
Chris Cuomo's a hero.
Oh, sure.
And I don't think
CNN has any problem with this.
No, of course they don't.
They don't have any standards.
They don't have any scribbles.
They don't have any morals.
They don't care.
Yeah.
And everyone will say we're
not fair, right?
We're evil partisans.
We hate CNN.
However, we do sometimes praise when CNN does do good things.
It's been a while.
It's been a while.
It's been getting a lot worse.
But like, give you an example of this.
We were talking about this off the air and that Chris Cuomo's on vacation this week.
And wow, what a convenient time for a vacation.
And that's what everybody is saying.
And that is a legitimate thing to be suspicious over.
However, however, when all of us came to the same conclusion right away when we were at Fox News Channel, Fox occasionally is known for some of their PR people
leaking items against some of their hosts.
Yeah, but when it's convenient.
But not things that aren't true.
Yeah, sometimes when they're not true.
Really?
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Sometimes a lot of anti-things against their own people.
Now, would they do that so they could get power over that show?
No.
Sure not.
Because that was a debate.
That was not too far.
That would be crazy.
Anyway,
we had a scheduled vacation that had been on the books for months.
Yep.
And, you know, as always was the case, there were people attacking us from, you know, the left and the media.
And
right before we went on vacation, somebody, who knows who it could have been,
but leaked to the press that Fox had actually suspended us and were going to take us off the week or off the air for a week because of all the controversy around the show.
And of course, absolute lie.
Absolute lie to the point of that we had all of the emails scheduling the vacation.
Thank God we did.
We had
all the emails, documents.
We all had plans.
We all had flights booked and everything.
And so we were able to prove it to the reporters who actually did report the truth on that one.
And they only did it because they hated Fox and Roger Elles more than us.
Yes.
That's true.
That's true.
At that time, they only hated Fox more than they hated us.
If it would have been anybody else, they would have went ahead.
Even with all of the evidence, they would have gone ahead.
I think people would be blown away to know what Fox did on certain occasions to their own Fox.
Are we, I'm sorry, allegedly.
Are we now allegedly?
Are we now just openly talking about this?
Okay, all right.
Probably not.
It's not a wise idea.
No.
no probably but it's a surprise that's been talked about by many though at the end of the year there's been movies made about it in fact several yeah several movies made about it um but the point is though you could argue maybe he i don't know they keep saying like oh he always goes on vacation around his birthday and maybe he does i mean of course every personality takes a summer vacation so it would not be surprising on the other hand i have not seen the emails be produced by the first thing i i mean i haven't i haven't said anything about him you know, maybe not on vacation because of our experience.
We've gone through it.
Sometimes that happens, and
it just happens.
And I don't think that CNN would have had a problem with him on the air through all of this.
I don't think so either.
I don't know what he would say, though.
That'd be a tough position to be in.
But like, if you are a supposed truth teller, which Chris Cuomo says all the time, I'm just bringing it to you straight.
I'm giving it to you straight.
Yeah.
Then get out there and defend your brother.
What do you really believe?
You're telling him behind the scenes to go after these women and say they're lying.
Get on the air and say that these women are lying, if that's what you believe.
Get on the air and say what you think about the biggest story, obviously in the country and also in your world.
I say this is your brother.
And say this is CNN has allowed him to navigate this any way he wants, as if he's the biggest and greatest television personality of all time.
Well, he is 17th in his time slotter.
By the way,
by the way, Tucker Carlson's going to be joining us in about 15 minutes.
Who is
the biggest guy I capable of his right now?
But you know what?
I mean, if this would have been us, is there any doubt in your mind if somebody was coming, let's just say after one of you two
and
you were
guilty, which clearly, Stu, whatever it is they're charging, you are guilty.
Thank you.
Is there any doubt in anybody's mind, even if it worked to my detriment, if I believed that Stu was innocent or he was guilty, that I wouldn't come on the air and say it?
You'd have to.
Oh, you would, absolutely.
Absolutely.
To address that, now that doesn't, you know, maybe you don't, it's not every minute of every show.
Maybe it's just like I coming out.
Look, I worked with this guy for a long time.
I had no idea about this.
It looks pretty damning.
I want the system to work, but he's not on the show right now.
And when it's all over, we'll decide whether he's on the show.
To be clear, this is a
case.
You're not actually stating.
I'm just saying.
I'm just saying it could happen.
Did anybody see this coming when Andrew Cuomo was writing the book and selling the book?
No, no, no, no.
And how do we know what you've been doing the past week?
We don't know.
We just don't.
We don't know.
We don't know.
It could be anything.
Did you see all those people who have died of COVID in the last
where was Stu?
We don't know.
I think he was at Obama's Super Spreader event.
Did you also see that in Martha's Vineyard, the COVID cases have doubled?
Now, I don't know if it's this quick from the weekend out that he had.
Oh, if it happened in Texas, they would be saying it.
They would.
Of course they would.
Of course they would.
That is amazing.
Doubled.
Double.
I mean, this has got to be, I 100%, of course, blame Barack Obama.
I mean, a funny thing is that, you know, they did this big thing about Provincetown, where that was the big case where they had this outbreak.
And, like, again, you know, that's not exactly representative, I would say.
That particular weekend, known as, was it Bear Week or whatever?
I don't know.
I'm not up in my province.
I learned quite a bit from Megan Kelly and Andrew Sullivan talking about this,
but that it was apparently a week where people come out and do things they wouldn't, maybe isn't completely representative of the rest of society.
Let's be wow, yeah, in a real lefty part of the town, yeah, a lefty part of the country.
Very well known this particular weekend.
Okay, and I guess what it looks like is that the rates haven't gone crazy, so they basically have changed all of the
guidance
on vaccinated people and all of this based on a study that didn't even raise local rates of COVID.
I think their positivity rate is like 2.8% or something in Provincetown after the study is over.
So it didn't even happen.
Like what they were worried about didn't even really set in yet.
The entire country is now changing all of our guidance on COVID.
Unless you're at Martha's Vineyard.
Then you're traveling.
That's way
off the coast.
Way off.
It's like almost Africa.
All right, tonight on the Wednesday night special, what happened to the freedom protest in Cuba?
It seemed like it was an almost breakthrough moment for the people who had been living under a communist dictatorship for 60 years.
But then what happened?
Just a few weeks ago, Cuba was on the verge of its own Arab Spring-type moment, fueled by Cubans using social media to coordinate massive street protests.
What happened to those people?
Where are those people?
Tonight, I'm going to give you some idea what Cubans are up against and why it matters to our future.
We cannot make the mistake of writing this off as just a Cuban communist problem.
Opposing communism used to be a unifying cause for Americans.
But this freedom flare-up in Cuba has shown that is no longer a cause.
That's a huge problem for those of us who believe in freedom.
Join me tonight for Cuban Spring, debunking the left's lies about hashtag SOS Cuba tonight, 9 p.m.

The Glenbeck Program
This is the Glenbeck program coming up in just a few minutes.
Tucker Carlson, who is probably one of the more fearless people on the planet today in media.
He does not flinch.
He makes a great case, obviously surrounded by really good researchers and writers, and is on every night, no matter if the gangs gather at his house to intimidate him and his family, or
they follow him into a phishing store in Montana, which the press, by the way, did not have a problem with.
They said, you know, that's what happens when you're reviled in America.
Really?
Hmm.
Wow.
You know, so if some of you walked into a store and people treated you like that, you would say, hey, well, I'm reviled by half the country.
Really?
Anyway, he's going to be joining us here in just a second.
I want to talk to him about his book, The Long Slide, and it's 30 years of American journalism.
And what he has to say is really important.
And again,
just the intro is brave.
In the preface of it, he takes down Simon Schuster
and talks about what was going on.
The reason why that's important is Simon Schuster published this book.
And he's absolutely right about the CEO, John Carpet, Simon Schuster, and
how they are
silencing dissenting voices.
And it makes absolutely no sense at all.
Anyway, we're going to talk to Tucker Carlson about his book, Also, The NSA spying on him.
How comfortable is he with saying that they did indeed do all of this?
They wanted to leak the communications to take his show off the air.
How comfortable is he with that?
And what is the latest?
Tucker Carlson joins us after the top of the hour news break.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Okay, let me tell you about Built Bar.
Look, let's be honest, I'm fat.
I'm out of shape.
Got it.
Got it.
So why would I be talking to you about a protein bar?
Because this particular protein bar does not recommend you eat.
the number of these protein bars that I eat in a day.
These are candy bars.
And, you know, it's like, you know, the donut holes, you know, or the mini donuts.
If I eat them one at a time, it's not like, you know,
they're donut holes.
It's not like I'm eating a whole donut.
Anyway, Bilt Bar, they're about 180 calories, I think max.
Most of them are about 120, 130 calories.
They have four to five grams of sugar, only four to five net carbs.
They taste really good.
They've got unbelievable flavors.
This is why I'm telling you about them is because they do taste like a candy bar.
But if you eat them in the right amounts, they're actually really good for you.
Built bar, Fat People Unite.
It's a candy bar.

he comes under attack for it in every aspect of his life.

Mr.
Tucker Carlson, he has a new book out.
It has been released today through Simon and Schuster.
It is called The Long Slide, 30 Years in American Journalism.
Welcome to the program, Tucker.
Hey, Glenn, thanks for having me.
You bet.
You bet.
Let's start with first just
the NSA scandal that's going on.
How comfortable are you that we're going to find out what's really going on, that the watchdog
for the intelligence agencies are going to be fair and independent?
Well, I don't think it's a scandal.
I mean, it's totally, you should have the expectation when you live in America, if you criticize the regime, then they read your email.
I mean, I learned, so I thought that was illegal and un-American and an assault on civil liberties, but I learned from the Daily Beast that actually, if you complain about it, then you hate America.
So
shut up and accept it.
You have no privacy.
The war on terror has been turned against American citizens, but you deserve it because you're a white supremacist.
Correct.
That's what I've been told.
Correct.
It is, it's
pretty phenomenal what is going on in America, especially
with the intelligence agency.
I mean, you now have not only Americans being spied on, you're being spied on, but you also have the Capitol Police becoming an intelligence agency.
The post office?
So, it's so distressing.
I mean,
I moved to Washington when I was 15.
My dad worked for the federal government.
He worked with the CIA.
I applied to work at the CIA when I graduated college.
in operations.
I thought it was a totally honorable thing.
We understood, and, you know,
we're the same age about, so you remember, we understood the U.S.
government and our intel agencies and our military and our federal law enforcement
designed to protect us.
And honorable.
That's exactly right.
The idea that your son would grow up to be an FBI agent, you're thinking, wow,
I would be really proud of him.
I wanted to work there.
I mean, that tells you how I felt about it.
And the difference, look, you can't turn the awesome law enforcement and intel gathering powers of the federal government against American citizens on a wholesale basis.
Like, that's the nightmare scenario.
We have a lot of laws in place designed to prevent it, and now it's happening.
And it's just bewildering to me that, like, no one says anything about it.
Like, this is totally cool.
This is the way it works.
No, it's not cool.
It's not the way it works.
If you care about democracy, you're opposed to this with everything that you have.
If they can do this what they did to Donald Trump and they can do this to you, what makes the average American think they won't turn it on them easily?
Because you'll have no chance.
That's exactly right.
And
I'm concluding things and saying things out loud that I just three years ago, I never would have imagined I would say or
I, you know, I would have thought, oh, that's paranoid.
That's crazy.
I think I'm the least paranoid, you know, sunniest, most optimistic, naive person I know.
I mean, I never assume bad motives on the part of any American.
You know, I don't want to anyway.
But
yeah, I think if you're paying attention, you're deeply concerned about where we're going.
And that's not a partisan point.
You know, if you care about basic civil liberties, like the right to disagree, the right to speak your mind, the right to follow your own conscience, the right to raise your family, you know, roughly the way you want to.
Nothing crazy.
This is not ideological stuff.
Let me come back.
Let me, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Let me come back to that for a second.
On that, that's not an ideological point.
And just to ask you one last question on this: do you know who unmasked you?
I don't know.
I was in Washington for a funeral.
I moved out of Washington after 35 years.
I didn't have much choice, so I did.
And I was back, and I ran into a very old, very close friend of mine who said, who said, let's get together.
I've got to talk to you about something.
Who said in person, you know, you are planning this trip to Russia.
And I said, well, I haven't told anybody that, so I don't know how you'd know.
Because, and then this person told me that the NSA had been reading my electronic communications, my texts and emails, and had unmasked me and was going to spread this to news organizations to suggest that I was somehow a disloyal American.
And it just, it actually scared me.
I'm not normally rattled by stuff, but that's so over the top that I immediately called like the only person in politics I would ever talk to is a U.S.
senator who's wise.
And I said, this kind of rats kind of scares me, honestly.
What should I do?
And he said, you've got to go public with it because you don't have any other defense.
You don't have actual power.
You're just the only power you have is to talk, talk, which is true.
And you need to do that right away as a, you know, prophylactically as a self-defense move.
Yep.
And so I did, and I felt like kind of a lunatic.
You don't want to go on TV.
I mean, would you want to go on the air and say they're spying on me?
No, you sound like a nutcase, but I didn't feel like I had a choice.
All right.
So let me go back to where you just said this is not a partisan issue, because I think it is.
And I think your book is
kind of evidence of that.
You talk about the 30 years in American journalism, the long slide, and you yourself say you couldn't do the things, you couldn't report the things
today that you were doing back then.
You couldn't,
the system is no longer what it was when we thought, at least, we all agreed with each other and we were all seeking the same outcome.
I don't think all Americans even agree on your right to privacy and your right of freedom of speech anymore.
Well, you're absolutely right.
And it's kind of, I mean, I'm sure you have this experience every day.
Things are changing so quickly.
You wake up in a brand new country, but it's hard to get perspective on how profound the change is because there are so few mile markers.
You know, you don't, it just seems like, oh, I guess it's always been this way.
Going back and reading 30 years of journalism, mostly magazine journalism,
was just kind of a shock.
I mean, a lot of the pieces in the book I wrote for the New York Times.
Can you imagine?
Esquire Magazine.
I wrote for the Washington Post.
I wrote for GQ.
There's no chance I would ever.
I wrote for the New Republic.
I know.
I also had a lot of friends over the, I mean, a lot of friends, not just a few, like a lot who were Democrats.
I went hunting with them.
I went on trips with them.
I hunted with them all my life.
And
now that's impossible.
I mean, they wouldn't have me.
I'm actually, I've never been very partisan.
I'm not super impressed by the Republican Party, that's for sure.
I don't like the Democratic Party, but I don't hate people because of their voter ID, you know, because of who they vote for.
I just, that's not my temperament.
And so
reading this, you really, I really got the sense that, boy, you know, it's a completely different world.
We are polarized to the point where you wonder how we reach agreement on anything.
And to your point, you know, what do we agree on?
You know, what do we have in common?
This has always been a multiracial country with no state religion.
You know, we've always been, in some sense, a diverse country.
And that's great.
I like that.
But you have to have something that unites you, something that we all agree on.
Like, why are we all living on this continent together, sharing a common federal government, if we don't agree on anything?
So, what do we agree on?
What is the American creed that unites us?
And increasingly, it's hard to answer that question.
It used to be the Bill of Rights.
Yes.
It used to be the Bill of Rights.
And I contend you could get
maybe a majority, a slim majority, to disagree with maybe eight
of the first 10 in the Bill of Rights.
You have nothing left if you don't have the Bill of Rights.
Well, I mean, that's exactly right.
It's at this point, if you can't agree on that, I mean, let's just be totally blunt.
Countries don't hang together because they hang together naturally.
There's a centrifugal force as a physics principle.
And this is a huge country, and it's diverse on every level, not just ethnically, but geographically.
People, you know, the country won't hang together unless we work intentionally and ceaselessly to create a reason for it to hang together.
And it can't just be force.
It can't just be, you know, we control the Pentagon, obey.
That's not enough.
You need consent.
of the governed.
And the majority needs to agree that we're in this together for a reason because we share this in common.
And if you set out to destroy those bonds, if you set out to increase tribalism, which is what they're doing, no, your first loyalties to your ethnic group.
Are you joking?
You're a Hutu, you're a Tutsi.
Like, how do you think that ends?
It's so insane.
And so I just think we need a national movement starting like this afternoon to figure out what it is we have in common and to emphasize that because otherwise, I mean, it's just very clear where this is going to go.
What
when you look at other countries, I mean, for a long time, we were, you know, we got to be more like Europe.
We got to be, I, in some ways, I'd love to be like some of the countries in Europe.
Some of the countries in Europe are preaching against us.
They're like, don't follow America.
Whatever's come, whatever poison is coming out of there, don't do it.
And I've heard you talk about Hungary and
the way that the government is now in Hungary, they are more free
than we are.
Well, that's, I,
it's just funny to be in your 50s because you, you dimly remember a life before this.
And what you just said, it just makes me laugh because I was in Europe last week and I thought that the whole time.
We mocked Europe.
I mean, constantly mocked Europe.
And how sad is it?
I take no joy in noting.
what's true, which is when if you're in Budapest and you disagree with the ruling party, party,
you don't need armed bodyguards.
You're not going to be silenced.
The majority of media in Hungary are opposed to the ruling party.
The ruling party may lose in the coming elections.
And
that's how things work in a representative democracy.
You have peaceful transfers of power, and people are allowed to say what they think.
And store windows aren't smashed because they disagree with the COVID policy or the Black Lives Matter or the trans policy.
It's like, it's all right.
How is that not freer?
It is freer.
It is.
And that just crushes me.
I know.
Me too.
Let me ask you, because I finished the last book I did.
I've been with Simon ⁇ Schuster for 20 years, and I want nothing to do with John Karp, the CEO.
They started firing conservatives at Simon ⁇ Schuster, started closing things down, and
it made no sense to me.
You have this publisher, Simon and Schuster, is your publisher for this book.
And that's right.
You go after them in the book.
I mean, that takes books.
Well, yeah, I mean, they, and I told them I was going to.
I mean, there's something.
Well, they published it, so they know
about what's in it.
And in fact, I dedicated it to John Karp effectively.
So,
you know, they know.
But look, it's really simple.
They're one of the most powerful book publishers in the world.
They should not be abetting censorship.
The whole point of publishing and of journalism is to keep open this free exchange of ideas.
You don't agree with at least half of them, but it's important for people to be able to voice them.
In fact, it's essential.
You can't have a democracy without that.
So you can't be for censorship.
And they are.
And I was shocked when they canceled Josh Hawley's book because they didn't like his vote.
You may not like his vote.
Okay, that's all right.
But Josh Hawley has a right to air his views.
They canceled his book.
They issued a press release calling him a terrorist.
And I watched this with my jaw open, knowing that I had a book due to them.
So I called John Carpenter and I said, What is this?
And I said, I feel a moral obligation to report this out because I'm getting paid by Simon ⁇ Schuster.
I'm participating in this.
I'm benefiting from your censorship.
And I feel bad about that.
So I'm going to write about it.
And if you don't want to publish the book, you don't have to.
And I think they really felt trapped because they knew that they canceled my book.
I was going to go after it.
Which I certainly would.
So it was just one of these weird circumstances where I got to report out censorship in real time, and I thought that I should.
I felt it was my duty to do that.
Well, good for you.
I'm no longer with Simon ⁇ Schuster.
My contract expired, and I couldn't be happier.
Although
my next book is coming out self-published, and I don't know anybody of my size that has ever tried that before.
So we'll see how it works out.
When is that?
I mean, I would love to talk to you about that because that seems like the future.
I mean, why are we putting
our ideas into the hands of sensors?
I mean, why are we participating in the system?
It is the system.
I mean, it's the same.
I'm in the same place I was in 10 years ago when I started the Blaze TV,
where it didn't make any sense.
All the tools aren't really there.
Nobody's actually breaking the molds on this, but it has to be done because
I'm not going to sit and be held hostage by
a corrupt system.
It's ridiculous.
I look back and I realize how stupid I was, when you started Blaze, I was like,
you know, you were like the biggest guy in cable news.
Why don't you just, you know, just stay in cable news?
Why make the effort to do this?
And I'm just so grateful that you did.
I really, really am.
And I'm grateful just as an,
I'm not saying this, by the way, as flattery.
I mean it totally sincerely.
The fact that you're self-publishing, that you built your own thing, those turned out to be incredibly prescient and important decisions because the the current system is unsustainable.
It just, we don't have freedom of the press.
We have to build our own.
And so thank you for doing that.
Yeah.
Well,
as you know, because I write to you from time to time just to thank you for your monologues and your bravery.
Thank you for standing up.
I've been in your position.
I know what it's like.
I know what it's like for your wife and your children.
And
I truly pray for you and admire your courage, Tucker.
Thank you.
Well, I appreciate that, Gunt.
Thank you.
You bet.
The name of the book that you can get, it's out today, The Long Slide, 30 Years in American Journalism with Tucker Carlson.
By the way, Tucker is going to be doing a podcast with me in the next couple of weeks, so we'll have a good hour or so to be able to further our conversation.
Let me tell you about AMAC.
If you haven't joined AMAC yet, There's a few good reasons you should.
First and foremost is the advocacy for conservatives.
This is the Association of Mature American Citizens, and
they are on it.
They are on it, and they invite you to be a part of it, and they help shape things in Washington, and there is power in numbers.
It's why we need to support people that are on the right track.
We need to do business with people who are helping us.
You know, AMAC is, what, almost 2.5 million members now.
That's a lot.
At the peak of the NRA's power, they had, I think, 5 million Americans.
And look how powerful that was.
There is power in numbers.
It's why Biden is trying to get everybody to unionize.
We need to be together.
Now, you get all the benefits and
the information that you need, that you get, you know, from any place else, but I think you get it better, really, from AMAC.
Make sure your voice is heard.
Stand with the people who are standing with you.
You'll also get life insurance products, travel discounts, and much more.
It is AMAC.

Today,
I want to talk to immigrants.
Yesterday, I spent an hour taking phone calls from people who had no reason to make it at all.
They had no reason to believe they'd ever make it because of their childhood, the things that they went through, the things that they did, and yet they found their way to success, however, they define it.
Today, I want to talk to immigrants.
I want to talk to people who have
come to the United States and
played by the rules and done the things that they would have never been able to do in their own country.
I think there is a high rate of success with immigrants that when they come here, if they apply themselves, they always say the same things to me, always.
You can't get any American to do this job.
You can't get anybody to actually
care about the work.
And
I'm talking about people who are stonemasons, like Tanya's grandfather was a stonemason.
He came from Italy.
And he was a bricklayer.
He was an artist.
Well, nobody in the family is that artist because nobody now wants to work like that.
And so the stone layers are coming from other countries.
And they can make it and start their own business so their kids don't have to lay stones.
I want to hear from people who came here and had no chance of success either here or in their own country and yet they found it here.
If that's you, call me now.
The number is 727BECK.
I'm going to be taking phone calls on this in just a minute.
727BECK.
I want you to share your story
of
where you came from and why you came here and what the difference is.
It's time to put some good stories out about America.
And these are truths.
I could tell stories, but why not just talk to the people who are living it every day?
Call me at 727-BECK.
This is the Glenback Program.
American Financing NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
So Michael has written in about his experience with American financing, and he says, I have been
working with Thea at American Financing since we made the decision to refinance.
She's been such a help from day one.
She answered all my questions, and there have been plenty.
She's returned every call.
She works seemingly 24-7.
I am resting easy knowing that progress is being made.
A friend of mine started his reunit financing processes a month before us.
We close tomorrow.
He's decided to go to American Financing as well.
He's starting all over.
Best of all, my wife and I don't have to go to the closing because the closing is coming to us.
Thanks, Thea, and American Financing, you rock.
Michael, thanks for writing in.
For the last two decades, American Financing has helped so many people just like you get their financial feet on solid ground.
I want you to call American Financing at 800-906-2440 or go to AmericanFinancing.net.
800-906-2440.

Don't forget tonight's Wednesday night special is all about the truth on Cuba.
What's really going on?
And where's America?
Tonight, BlazeTV.com.
This is
the Glenback program.
We're really glad that you are here today.
Thank you so much for listening.
We have some really disturbing things that are going on.
YouTube has taken down a second Rand Paul COVID video, suspends him.
He was on the floor of the Senate, in the well of the Senate, when he said these remarks.
It is protected speech, constitutionally protected speech,
doubly so because he said it on the well of the Senate floor.
That is the ultimate protected speech.
YouTube doesn't care.
And we are getting into a very, very,
very bad place
with all of this.
Also, I want to show you the pattern of the radical nominees.
Yesterday, they passed the infrastructure bill, and everybody was saying, well, it's infrastructure, infrastructure.
What infrastructure is in there?
The infrastructure of a different America.
It is the infrastructure of a very radically different America.
One where
we're going to be silenced and we will all agree or we won't be able to move around quite so much.
That's all coming up later on in today's program.
Also, tonight is my Wednesday night special.
We need things that can unite us.
We need things that we can all get behind.
That's why I am so passionate, one of the reasons why I'm so passionate about saving people who are slaves, whether they're in Thailand or they're in Iraq.
They could be in America or Jamaica.
We must,
I don't want to be around people who say, well, slavery isn't always wrong we all agree that we have to get down to the basics we all agree that's wrong all of us
that's we need to find as tucker was just saying a few minutes ago find the things we can unite on one of the things that i don't think we're going to be able to get all of america to unite on but is so important that we do is cuba and the people in Cuba.
They were having all these protests and then all of a sudden the internet went out.
Hmm.
Strange because Facebook and everybody else made sure it didn't happen in the Arab Spring, but the Cuban Spring, eh, not so much.
So the communist regime, since the protests on July 11th, have taken hundreds of their citizens.
We don't know the number exactly.
We know for a fact of, I think it's 805 citizens that were taken through forced disappearances.
They would sweep people up and then try them 10 or 12 at a time.
This is not something where you were even allowed an attorney.
You were prosecuted without evidence.
Some of these people are in jail, prison.
Some of them, we don't even know if they're alive.
Some of them were beaten.
Tonight, we are going to tell you what is going on, and we're going to get the real stories from people who
have friends and family there.
And you don't wanna miss tonight's show, The Crackdown.
It is a very, very important show tonight that you don't want to miss on our Wednesday night special, The Cuban Spring, debunking the left's lies about hashtag SOS Cuba.

All right.
Let me go to
it was Dennis in Missouri.
Let me go to Dennis.
Hi, Dennis.
Where are you from originally?
I am from South Sudan
originally.
So I came to America in 1999,
1999.
Wow.
And
what were your thoughts and hopes and dreams when you came here?
Well, when I came here, I spoke really very small English.
Just like when you ask my name, I barely just can say my name and where I live.
But my dream is to learn English.
And because I knew that
I am living now in one of the greatest countries in the world.
So I went to school
for
a program for ESL, English as a second language, for two years.
and then I went to community college and then I went to university, Benedictine University in Illinois.
And then one other thing that I learned in school is from one of my professor, he was attorney general, his name is Jim Bryan and then he retired and then he came back to teach.
He said this statement from John F.
Kennedy that asking what your country, asking not what your country can do, asking what you can do.
And
I remember that vividly that what can i contribute to this country what can i contribute to myself and and and that's what the topic of yesterday when you ask like you know if you if you are born into a you know like
tragic situation yeah a tragic situation what is your life now so now you know i graduated from university and then i i went i served in iraq as a civilian translator i speak arabic very fluently uh so i work with our troops in iraq i went to many many places in Iraq for two years.
And then I came back.
I moved to Kansas City.
I work for now working with the city of Kansas City, Water Department.
I am a senior administrator.
Let me ask you this.
Dennis,
let me ask you.
In Sudan, we are told that America is the are you white, black?
What color are you?
I'm black.
You're black, okay.
So we're told that this is the worst place you could come
if you're a black person.
Why and what is the difference between America and every other place you've seen?
Well,
what I have seen in Africa, even you know, even I'm black and living, most of the people in Africa that are black, even we've seen some
treatment that is not is not the same.
The public could see that, you know, you're from different tribe.
You are not the same tribe as the president is.
So you'll be treated differently.
or even schools too you know you treat differently because you are in a in not the tribe the majority tribe so I think when I came to America you know people talked about racism I don't see it's there but it's not really you know I haven't seen that you know really in in my life living here so as I said again you know this is one of the greatest countries regardless of what is happening you could make your way
you know when I was in Africa I don't have shoes I don't have enough food to eat one meal Now I have five I have like 12 shoes, you know, and you could make your life if you live right.
Dennis,
I love your story.
Thank you very much.
God bless.
Let me go to Tom in Colorado, who came from Poland.
When were you in Poland, Tom?
Well, I was born in Poland in 60s.
I'm slightly older than you are.
It's a longer story, but nothing as compelling as what you had on yesterday.
People that have gone through hell in their lives, they were describing it yesterday.
I basically came
through three different countries, emigrated when I was 22 with then my girlfriend to Germany.
Was not allowed to work there.
There was a possibility of migrating to Canada, and that's what we did after two years.
And
you left communism then.
You would come here then in the the 80s.
I left in 86, yes.
86.
So you know what communism was like in Poland.
Well, and that's where I now have a lot of retirees that my friends, and I see that they're not
basically have the same
curiosity that I had when I was growing up in Poland.
We used to live, we used to listen to Radio Free Europe, which was sponsored by American government.
And at that time, we were always seeking alternative news because what we were being said on daily basis was laughable.
Everybody knew that, but somehow everybody kind of went along to live along.
And so
Cuba.
Yes, right now, as you've mentioned, Cuba, that's the main thing that I'm asking people.
It's like, look what happened first.
They first shut down the Internet.
For what reason?
So you would not have access to alternative news.
We all have access to alternative news, but nobody is seeking it.
Everybody is used to what you've described, Cronkheid and everybody else saying this is the news.
And everybody trusts what we're hearing on a daily basis.
And some singular voices like yours or Rush's or other
talk show hosts,
you have to seek those news.
You have to be able to listen to you.
You have to want to listen to the podcast.
Everything else is basically becoming what I've seen in communism and other places like Venezuela.
I've been here long enough to see what happened to Venezuela.
We're following the same pattern, but somehow being born here, and I have my daughter who actually was born here, so I'm exposed to what school is teaching right now.
I'm an older father, having a very young daughter.
And it's her raising what they're teaching or trying to teach our kids and reversing everything that this country has established over the years.
So I am really worried of the path on which we're on and sort of surprised that majority of Americans kind of take this for granted and think that this is somehow going to get reversed.
And that last election actually showed us that people were thinking that voting for somebody who's familiar, doesn't matter which party, but somebody who has been in government for years, somehow is going to bring us to normalcy.
Yet we don't see that we are now attacked.
We are being attacked by our own government, by all these what you call three-letter agencies, and there is no more constitutional follow-up of the structure of power when those three letter agencies are able to write their own laws.
If CDC is allowing to
write the laws in a sense to force us to do certain things,
what happens when Department of Defense write their own laws?
What happens when Department of Homeland Security starts to write their own laws?
And we're on a very slippery path, and I'm surprised by the speed.
Actually, I was very surprised when they mandated masks and all these other restrictions on us as individual citizens, and nobody actually lifted more than a finger with the exception of several people in small places.
I will tell you, Tom, that I think regards the speed, it's been happening for a very long time, but nobody really paid attention to it.
And I think it's going to come down just like the Berlin Wall did.
We're going to lose our freedom as the people in Germany did.
One night, it's just going to happen.
And you'll be able to look back and go, oh yeah, it was happening.
It was just building to this moment.
But now it's too late.
Now it's too late.
I understand.
But as our founding fathers said, we will have to steal blood to regain our freedoms.
And that's what I fear.
And people do not understand that that's the only other step possibly.
Tom in Colorado, I'm sorry we didn't didn't get to your business, but I know that you're successful and you started your own business.
And thank you for being a great American coming from Poland.
Back in just a moment.
Let me tell you about Bilt Bar.
Talk to you seriously about something
to anyone within the sound of my voice.
I need help.
I'm being hostage.
No, not my terrorists.
I mean, that would be really pretty easy.
I mean, it's my daughter.
She's
She's really feeding me vegan food.
I don't know where else to turn.
The only constellation has been Build Bars, which are like healthy protein bars.
They're made with real chocolate.
So they taste great and everything.
I mean, in case she's listening, I love the vegan food, honey.
I'd really, no, seriously.
Help me.
Build bars, in addition to being made with real chocolate, they're low calorie, low carb, high protein, and high fiber.
They have nine amazing flavors, plus the occasional limited-time flavor.
Get the mix box, and you can try two of each for the nine flavors.
They have a new URL, super easy to remember.
It's built.com.

This week, I am talking to people that have made it in America, where the odds were against them and they have found themselves successful in America.
Things that just don't happen elsewhere.
Today, I'm talking to immigrants.
If you're an immigrant that came to this country because you couldn't succeed elsewhere,
and you came here and you did what?
And what did you find about America?
Tomorrow, I want to talk to people who
have been at the very rock bottom, alcoholism, suicide, whatever, and have turned it around.
If that's you, that'll be on tomorrow's program.
Let me go to Aurora in Arizona.
Your husband is an immigrant from Panama?
That's correct.
Tell me about him.
Okay, he's actually right here.
I'd love to have him tell you.
His name is Carlos.
Okay, yeah, sure.
Blaine, very nice to meet you, sir.
Nice to meet you, Carlos.
So you were in Panama.
Did you live under the dictators?
I lived my entire life on the dictatorship.
I came here to the U.S.
when I was about 25 years old, but I lived through the invasion of Panama.
I lived through the years when Riego was ruling Panama.
And I've seen a lot of some of the similarities that we live in our country that today we're having here in this country is just incredible, incredible.
But
I was in Panama when the election happened in 1989 and Moriga was removed.
And in 1991, I had the chance to come here to the U.S.
as a student.
I went to Texas to study English.
I went to Houston, Texas to study English.
I mean, first of all, who goes to Houston, Texas to study English when everybody speaks Spanish,
right?
Right.
How's your Spanish going?
How's your Spanish?
Not good.
Not good.
So yeah, so I moved to Utah because
I met my wife's brother in Panama.
He was an airplane mechanic and he told me about my wife and I moved to Utah and then we got married.
And then I decided to join the military because I wanted to return
the same thing that the United States did for me when I was in Panama.
I wanted to be part of something big.
So I joined the military
in 1994 and I served for almost 22 years.
God bless you.
I went to Iraq, Afghanistan, and I served a lot of many years in Colombia, you know,
in counter-drug operations.
I have to cut you loose.
We're up against a network break.
But thank you so much.
Thank you for your success story and your travel from dictatorship to freedom.
Hopefully it's not a return ticket now.
It's the Glenback program.
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This
is
the Glenback Program
Today I've opened up the phones to immigrants, people who have come here from other parts of the world,
you know, especially those who came here because they couldn't make it in their own home country.
Maybe
they were living under dictatorship or communism.
They came here from some situation and they came here the right way and now they've made it.
I want to hear your story of America because I'm tired of hearing all the other stories.
727BECK is the phone number.
I'm going to go to the phones here in just a second.
Also, an update.
I've been talking to you about hitting franchises.
That is the way to send a message.
If you hit franchises, well, we go there in 60 seconds.
All right.
Let me tell you about Raycon.
Raycon wireless earbuds, the best thing that I have heard in a long time, how long do your earbuds last before they run out?
Oh, gosh, I don't even know.
Yeah.
Can you make it?
If you're flying coast to coast.
Oh, yeah.
You can't even make it coast to coast.
Okay.
All right.
Raycon now has a 32-hour battery life.
Gosh.
32 hours.
You could wear those.
you know, for two days without recharging them.
Yeah, and they're great headphones, too.
They're really good.
They're great.
They sound great.
They fit flush against your ear.
They're not like dangling like your dopey earring things from Apple.
Yeah, but they're half the price of Apple.
Oh, so and they come with a 45-day happiness guarantee.
So what do you have to lose?

Tonight on Glenn TV.
There's a movement for freedom underway in Cuba, a demand to end the dictatorship.
But the American left says the Cuban suffering is our fault.
Glenn debunks the lies and asks big tech, where's your love of democracy now?
What can Americans do to help?
Watch Cuban Spring, debunking the left's lies about hashtag SOS Cuba tonight, 9 p.m.
Eastern at policetv.com/slash Glenn.
All right, I want to get to the phones here in just a second, talk to people who have come from other countries.
The stories are fantastic.
We'll get to that here in a second.
First, I want to just give you an update on something I've been talking about for the last few weeks, and that is franchisees.
You've got to hit the franchisee.
If you want to make an impact now, everybody, you know, if you want to stop Coca-Cola from being so woke and training people to not be so white, you're going to complain to Atlanta all all the time, and they're not going to care.
They're not going to care.
You're not going to convince the woke board of directors to switch.
Okay.
However,
you can go to your local Coca-Cola bottling plant.
Local Coca-Cola bottling plant.
This is like a franchisee.
These are people that...
They don't have anything to do with Coke.
They bottle Coke and deliver Coke.
And they're living in your neighborhood.
So many of them probably feel exactly the way you do.
And so when you go to them and say, hey, you know what?
I can't order any Coke from you as a company anymore.
I just can't do it.
And I want to, but no chips, no, nothing.
I'm not getting any of the vending machines done by you because you're in bed with Coca-Cola.
And I'm just at a breaking point.
I can't have everybody teaching my children and teaching all the employees at Coca-Cola that they should be less white.
That's wrong, and you know it.
And so I can't do it anymore.
I guarantee you, enough people go to the local Coca-Cola bottling company and say things like that, and you're going to see a change.
Now, I've already told you about Unilever and how Unilever now is in a tight spot between Ben and Jerry's and their franchisee owners.
Ben and Jerry's and Unilever, all Unilever does is just provide the ice cream.
They get it from Ben and Jerry's and they put it into stores.
Okay.
And then Ben and Jerry's sells these franchise
locations where you can go and have your local Ben and Jerry's franchise.
Well, 40 of them, count them, 4-0,
40 of them have
said, I can't do it anymore.
You're killing us.
You're killing us.
And you got to stop with your boycott on Israel.
Well, Ben and Jerry's made it worse by having a conference call on Saturday.
And they said, this is a learning opportunity for you to learn how bad Israel is.
They didn't like that.
They didn't like that.
Now the franchisees are looking at how do I get my money back for my franchise.
And Unilever is going to have to make a decision.
Last story.
Subway owners,
Subway, the franchise of Subway, that's not owned by corporate Subway.
That's a local subway owner.
The Subway owners want kneeling Megan Rapinoe dropped as a spokesperson.
Subway is in charge of the advertisement, but the local stores are the ones that are getting all the heat for it.
And so they had a North American Association of Subway franchisees meeting.
And a lot of these franchisees stood up and said, I'm tired of apologizing.
I'm tired of saying, I know, I know, I'm with you, I know.
They were demanding that they fire her.
This is the key.
You have to act locally.
You can't think about these global corporations because they don't care, but they do care.
You want to make a difference?
You start saying, I'm not going to buy any Nordstroms.
You're selling Nike.
Until you stop selling Nike, I can't do business with you anymore.
You make the local franchise
uncomfortable.
And then Nordstrom says, we can't sell Nikes anymore because all the people are coming into our store and saying they're not going to do it anymore.
The subway example is such a good one because...
You pay part of your franchise fees for national advertising.
4.5%.
Yeah.
So like they are using that money to not promote your product, to take your customers and have them go somewhere else for lunch or dinner.
Yep.
And come in and complain to you.
So, you're sitting out there trying to talk down some irate customer because they have
a national company is running an ad with a crazy soccer player, which, by the way, soccer, why would you ever hire anyone who plays soccer to advertise your product?
That's just an anti-soccer stance.
But, I mean, again, like, this is supposed to be helping you
as a franchisee, not hurting you, not distracting you from your actual work because you have to talk down a customer.
So I just want you to know they passed the infrastructure bill, and then today they've passed the $3.5 trillion.
I have to look at you for
a trillion, right?
$3.5 trillion
spending package that is the second half of the infrastructure.
In it, it is going to fundamentally change
the American culture, the American business landscape.
It is going to change us.
And it is going to be a fight between the big guys and the local store owners.
You need to support the local things and make your voice heard at the local levels so they are barking up that chain and saying, I'm sorry, guys, we can't do it anymore.
We can't do it.
That is your best, I think, plan
for success.
And somebody needs to pick this up.
All right.
Um, let me, uh, let me go to the phones in just 60 seconds.
Let me just quick for an early break.
That way we can just talk to people who have fled from other countries and come to America.
I want to know why, and I want to know what the difference is.
And you succeeded in America?
I didn't think anyone could succeed in America.
It's a lie.
It's a lie that you can't succeed.
We're going to talk to immigrants coming up in just a a second.
First,
they say what you eat.
You are.
You are what you eat.
Well, I'm not eating a lot of fat, and I am fat.
Anyway,
Bilt Bar, Bilt Bar is a great way for you to stay in shape.
Now,
I may have Bilt Bars, but I also may have too many Bilt Bars and a cheeseburger or a slice of pizza and various flavors of ice cream as long as it's not Ben and Jerry's.
I don't discriminate except against Ben and Jerry.
Anyway, this is supposed to be a Built Bar and a health, you know, it's a health segment here.
Built bars are low-calorie, low-carb, high-protein, high-fiber.
Nothing I would buy.
You just said all of the wrong words to get me to buy it.
Now, let me say this: they are unbelievably delicious.
They taste like a candy bar.
They come in nine different flavors.
They're made with real chocolate.
Now, I'm interested.

It's kind of that sweet spot, if you will, right in between good for you and delicious.

10 seconds, station ID.
Oh, man.
We have Michael calling in from California.
Michael, welcome to the Glenbeck program.
How are you?
Yes.
Hi, how are you?
Very good.
You came from where?
I actually came from Poland.
And you moved to California?
You should experience freedom.
I'm just right now today in California.
Oh, okay, good, good.
Okay, all right.
I was very smoky here.
So you moved from Poland, and why did you move away and come to America?
So my family experienced quite a hell during World War II.
So my grandfather was a POW, who was murdered by the Soviet
Nkavuda,
precursor of the KGB.
So he was only 31 years old.
And so the rest of the family was either deported to Kazakhstan and Siberia.
The other grandfather was...
with the British Eighth Army.
There was a Polish unit there, so he was stationed in Iraq, then Egypt, and Italy.
After the war, most of these soldiers were actually prosecuted, although he was staying in England until 1958,
fearing for his life.
And so the family somehow lived in the communist Poland.
And so I was growing up in that place, and I couldn't believe you could live in a cage as a human being.
So I immigrated.
I was 20 years old.
I basically took a tourist trip and just fled and ended up in West Berlin, applied for immigration visa to the United States,
came as a refugee.
And when I landed, I had like $300 in my pocket.
And
a country that was really, really free.
That was a huge difference.
And, you know, I'm calling, it's the first time ever I would ever call a station
because what is happening in the United States today it's scary
I find it terrifying but only people like you generally agree with me I was stopped in the mall the other day by a woman from I think Poland and she said we came here for freedom and and what's wrong with you people it's it's it's all falling apart you're you're going you're you're doing what we escaped from
Never know what freedom is until you lose it.
Yeah.
So you had $300.
And where are you now?
I'm in Midwest, so in
just in Indiana.
But when I came, I actually was working three jobs, all part-time.
and going full-time to college on the East Coast, a very prominent school.
So I was the poorest kid in that school with friends driving
Porsche and Mercedes and I was driving a beat-up Chevy.
But hell, I excuse me for the HER
made it
college and then
went to graduate school.
Then I ended up working for big multinationals worldwide in the United States, overseas, in Japan, in Asia, in Europe, all over Russia and all the territories.
So, you know, I was very, very successful after being basically arriving with one suitcase, with one pair of shoes to America.
Michael, thank you very much for calling in.
God bless you.
Let me go to Blanca,
I think in Illinois.
Blanca, welcome.
Blanca, are you there?
Okay,
let's go to Poala in Pennsylvania.
Am I saying it right?
Paula.
Paula, okay.
Hi, Paula.
Yes.
Hi, Glenn.
How are you?
I'm good.
I'm just a little bit nervous.
I'm not a big, I don't talk a lot.
Yeah, no, that's all right.
Just me and millions of
go ahead.
Yeah, yeah, that's not scared at all.
I came from Dominican Republic as a child in the early 90s.
I was seven years old when I came here.
My dad actually came seven years.
before when my mom was pregnant of me, and it took seven years for him to bring his whole family over.
So we were separate, which made
it damaged their marriage, but it basically my mom wasn't going to leave us in Dominican Republic while she was here, so we waited seven years.
And my dad was a cab driver in New York City.
He worked 16 hour days and finally made enough money to put my mom into college.
She was a doctor, well, a dentist already in my country.
Couldn't find a job, didn't have anything to show for it.
She came here, was accepted into NYU, and she graduated.
And actually, the first year that she worked as a dentist was the first year we ever had a Christmas.
We actually had toys.
It was amazing.
My brother and I always remember that because we had nothing.
And I always watched my parents pretty much bust in their hump working for us.
And
what a great story.
Seriously, you are really blessed to have that memory of your family and of your life.
I mean,
I have kids that are older in their 30s, and they remember when dad was broke and we really had nothing.
My younger kids, they were born, you know, around the height of my success, and they don't have that.
And there is something to having
the memory of nothing.
Absolutely.
It wakes you up.
Paula, thank you.
Take nothing for granted.
Yep.
Thank you so much.
All right.
Let me go to,
is Blanca there now?
Hello, Blanca.
Yes, I am.
Hi, friends.
Thank you for taking my call.
You bet.
And
first of all, I want to thank God for his grace.
And I was, because I was born in Colombia, South America, up in the mountains, where we had no
running water, no electricity, nothing, not even a radio to listen to the news.
And I came to this country at the age of 18 years old with $10 in my pocket, no English.
I taught myself English.
I work as
a nanny and I learned English.
I took my GED.
And then I went to the university and I was, by the grace of God, I was able to get a job selling insurance.
So I started from zero clients and I
ran the office
with grace and loving my clients and loving God.
And I was able to bring this company to be worth millions of dollars.
And
do you run it now?
No, I sold it.
I sold it.
I retired at the age of 59 years old.
Oh, my gosh.
And And I retired and now I've been retired for nine years.
So Blanca, what do you say to people who are saying, you know, I'm so oppressed by a statue that I can't function or that America is such a racist place, you can never make it unless you vote for these people in Washington?
Glenn, it breaks my heart and I cry, literally cry when I hear this because
this is a land of opportunities.
This is where you can come and be something.
I don't say it's easy because I was working 14 hours a day when I started my company.
And
if you work hard and you believe in yourself and you don't give up,
a sky is the limit.
And I
thank God because without him, you are nothing.
But if you trust in God and you work work hard, because God is not going to put it right at your doorstep, but he gives you a mind, hands,
and an opportunity that nowhere in the world, there is no other country in the world like this country, where you can be free.
I would have never ever been able to succeed in any other country.
Because I came with $10 in my pocket and I was able to succeed because I believe that there is
an opportunity
for everyone,
for everyone who wants to work hard and not depend on the government.
Government is not the answer.
Government gets in the way of people getting to be successful in this country.
And I am so fearful.
these days for our country because this is my country and I would die for my country if I had to these days because
there is
freedom, but it seems like we are being attacked.
Our freedoms are being attacked.
Well, I will tell you, Blanca, I am
more and more, I believe, that if somehow or another we could get all of the immigrants together and they could become a pack.
and they could run commercials and they could make their voices and their stories heard, that things would change.
We're only hearing bad stories of
immigrants.
We're only hearing, oh, they're living in poverty and everything else.
No, no, wait, wait.
There are a lot of immigrants to this country because every single person that is here, unless you're Native American, and then I'd argue the land bridge,
is
from someplace else.
You're from someplace else.
So how could we be a nation of immigrants that hates immigrants and doesn't provide opportunities?
This is the Glenbach program.
There has never been a better time and it has never been a better idea for you to take a portion of your financial portfolio and put it now into gold and silver.
They just passed the $3.5 trillion
budget package.
That is on top of the infrastructure
package that they passed yesterday.
So we're now about $5 trillion, but wait, there's more.
Please, I want you to call Goldline and find out if gold or silver is right for you.
The dollar is on
numbered days.
Goldline will ship you five free one-ounce silver goldline bars just for completing the application.
There's also bonus metals when you complete the buying process.
So make sure you ask them how to get those delivered directly to your door.
They're standing by.

All right, brand new Studios America into a brand new Glenbeck TV.
Tonight, Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.
Promo code is Glenn to save $10 off your subscription to Blaze TV.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
We're glad you're here.
Tomorrow, you don't want to miss tomorrow's radio program.
We are going to
start piecing this together for you so you know what these infrastructure packages mean.
They are building infrastructure, but it is infrastructure to combat the capital market that we have always had, the free market that we have always had.
We are dramatically changing because of the $3.5 trillion package that passed today.
It is infrastructure.
We'll explain that to you on tomorrow's broadcast.
Tonight, you don't want to miss our show on Cuba.
We have to stand for the people in Cuba.
There are 800 plus people that we know of, that we know of, that have either been killed or in prison and beaten.
And some of these are kids, and they're going in front of these tribunals 10, 15 at a time, no evidence, no lawyer for defense, and they're all just convicted and thrown in.
Some of them are just disappearing.
And the Cuban government is saying, if you
ask about your loved one or if you let people know that your loved one is missing, a worse sentence for your loved one and we might come for you
800 families have decided the world needs to know the names, and so they have put together a secret document.
We'll show you that tonight and tell you what's really going on.
These are people we must stand for.
We today are talking to people who have moved from another country.
and had no chance of
success in their country, came to the United States.
We're told you can't make it in America.
I think that's a lie.
I know because I came from nothing and I made it in America.
I want to hear from people who have come from other places.
And you'll notice one of the things that they all have in common is they all learned to speak English.
They all have said separately, the first thing I did was learn how to speak English.
Lucy in North Carolina.
Hello, Lucy.
Yes.
Hi, Glenn.
How are you?
It's a great honor to be on your show.
Thank you very much, Lucy.
Where are you from originally?
I'm from Bulgaria, and I escaped Bulgaria as a refugee, actually, and it was still communist in 1990.
I was in my I was 20 years old and I was an artist actually going to Academy of Fine Arts there.
But of course, you know, Bulgaria was communist, super
tyrannical, obviously, no freedom.
So we escaped, went to Austria and we were there in a refugee camp and eventually got accepted to United States and went to New York City.
So it's been 30 years, but I see what's happening right now here in this country.
I had only $30 in my pocket,
started from zero basically, and went to college again, finished my illustration degree, top of my class, gold medal, took basically two years into one working at the same time and
got accepted to Disney working as an intern for the Lion King back in the days.
Anyway,
long story short, now I'm an independent artist and I see what's happening here in this country, which is so disturbing.
So I started painting political work
and I'm getting the backlash from the lefty art world.
Yeah, I know.
I'm living that.
Yes, I know, because I know you're an artist, too.
Yeah, I'm living that.
You know what?
But I tell you, one of the reasons why I decided to start taking calls like this is because of my experience.
There is no way Glenn Bach,
no matter how good of an artist I could possibly ever be, there's no way Glenn Beck could ever be a success in an art gallery world.
However, I've just proven that wrong just what, last week or the week before.
And tremendous success to the point to where the gallery said, we've never seen anything like this before.
And if I can, if Glenn Beck
can get his art carried in a gallery in a place like Park City, and it's a success,
who's telling you you can't make it?
You can't do it?
Who would have credibility with that?
It's insanity.
Yes,
this is the place of opportunity.
And believe me, I was shortly an artist in Bulgaria, and you cannot succeed there.
You could not in a communist regime.
They really expected you to paint propaganda, and it was absolutely horrific, poverty and no, no freedom.
And when I came here with hard work, I really became pretty well known in my field,
signature member of numerous watercolor societies.
I painted novel watercolor, but really I made it and I feel very successful.
But I agree with you.
This is the place and it really pains me to see the situation
of where we are right now.
This is the last bastion of freedom and if we lose it, this is it.
This is the end.
So I see kind of a merging,
the merger of pretty much fascism and communism all into one system.
It's what's happening.
Yes.
Oh, yes.
Thank you so much, Lucy.
Hey, Lucy, would you just message me on Instagram?
I'd like to follow you and see your work.
She's gone.
Okay, I guess not.
Well, it would have been nice.
She took a strong stand against you on Instagram.
No, I will.
Never.
Never.
Never.
I don't want you to follow me.
Never.
It is.
It's remarkable how if you watch for patterns, it's usually the lefty artists and the lefty,
you know, artists of all types, stage, screen, et cetera, et cetera, that take a country and sell it down the river and
tout these fascistic kind of leaders and movements.
And then in the end, when they're all in prison,
then
you know, sometimes, sometimes 10 years, sometimes 80, 90 years later, they all start to go, wait a minute, wouldn't it be great if we all had opportunity and could live side by side and we could have different opinions and we could just be free?
Yeah,
yeah.
Hey, artist, you should read some history because you guys always,
always
are leading in the wrong direction.
And you know why I think it is?
Because it's a bunch of elites that control your world and you know it.
If you don't bow down to the elites, you're screwed.
The only reason why I'm a success is because I can bring my own audience.
You have to gain an audience from the art world.
So you need the acceptance of all of these people in the gallery saying, oh my gosh, it is just so fabulous.
Is that Pantone Blue number two?
Yeah.
Oh my gosh, it just screams to me.
I don't have to do that.
I don't have to do that.
And you get trapped in that world.
How many people right now
in all business
are doing things you don't want to do?
Now, there is some part of it where you don't want to do.
There are parts of my job I don't want to do.
So we don't live in utopia.
There are parts that you just don't want to do.
But I'm saying how many people are are doing things that go against them,
that go against what you believe?
How many things are you tolerating around you?
You can't.
You can't anymore.
Times are too serious.
You can't tolerate it anymore.
You have to take a stand.
Let me, do I have time for, let me take one more.
Let me go to Rome in Florida.
Hello, Rome.
how you doing glenn i'm good how are you
i'm doing great i'm a name i'm i escaped cuba when i was 15 years old i was nine months as a refugee in guantanamo bay before i made it to the country
obviously at 15 16 years old there's nothing to my name uh currently uh i'm a business owner great family own property you know there's there's no better place to be than here uh what's going on in cuba it's it's basically uh
it's it's a dictatorship, communism, you name it, and we're heading on the right.
We're heading right on that direction.
So the right has been on the wall for a long, long time.
You see it happening a little bit here, a little bit there, and it's just,
it's coming.
Rome, that's not the way I want to end this segment.
What do you hear?
Do you have friends in Cuba?
I have very little family in Cuba.
The last time I went back was about five years ago before my dad died.
And I experienced some of the medical stuff when I went back to Cuba.
And I mean, I could write a book about the medical system that everybody calls the latest in the world.
Yes.
And so on and so forth.
Yeah.
It's so good.
You found something different than so good?
Yes.
Yeah.
Rome, thank you so much.
God bless you and keep up the hard work.

a really important.
This is like when we all said, you know what, we have to stand up for the people who are enslaved by ISIS.
And we have to do something.

that this is right, that cubans standing up need to be heard that cuba should be free of this dictatorship and tonight i hope uh that you will join me for our nine o'clock wednesday night special blazetv.com slash glenn use the promo code glenn and save
Sandra lives in Minnesota and she writes in about her experience with Relief Factor.
She says, I've been hearing you talk about Relief Factor for a couple of years now on your show and I finally decided to try it because nothing was helping my back pain.
I can't tell you how much relief I have experienced.
That lower pain that used to be constant is not anymore.
I honestly doubted Relief Factor was going to help.
I know.
Same with me.
But with the three-week quick start available, I decided, what do I have to lose?
I'm glad I did.
I feel like a new person.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Sandra, you have joined an elite group of people, those whose lives were once ruled by their pain, but discovered Relief Factor and were able to take their lives back.
As a member of that group, I can tell you I wake up every day thankful for Relief Factor.
I'm glad you do now, too.
Try the three-week quick start trial.
It is
going to work for you in three weeks or not.
So you'll know in three weeks.
If it's not working, don't order anymore.
But 70% of the people who take it go on to order more month after month.
It's relief factor.com, 800-583-84.
ReliefFactor.com, 800-58384.
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Early this morning in Washington, D.C., the Senate passed the $3.5 trillion budget.
Chuck Schumer is calling it the most transformational legislation in decades.
Is anybody concerned by that?
Is anybody concerned?
What he's saying is we haven't had something that transforms this nation like this
since LBJ
and before that, FDR.
If you know anything about history,
Those were nightmares.
Those were nightmares.
LBJ's great society has cost us almost every dime until recently.
Almost everything in our national debt has come from LBJ.
The rest of it pretty much came from FDR.
Not talked about often enough as the worst president in American history.
I mean, he's he's in the running for
you might not be number one, but he's in that conversation.
Wilson, of course.
Woodrow Wilson, though, he took a country that was going one direction, foundational principles still were hanging around, and jolted it, like put it in reverse from like we were going three miles an hour forward, and he put it in reverse.
We started going backward.
LBJ, we were going backward already at 50, and then he jammed on the gas even harder, and we're going 150.
Yeah.
He really accelerated our problems.
So, you know, what's interesting is Barack Obama was a transformational president, but he is not going to be remembered as he's going to be a footnote to Joe Biden.
The Joe Biden administration.
Which is amazing to say.
It's amazing.
Because he was a footnote to Obama's administration.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I mean, Obama is running it.
I mean, his people are running
this administration.
Yeah.
And so
what this is, what this is doing to us, I mean, this bill,
it doesn't really have anything except, you know, a bunch of structure that should scare the living daylights out of people.
And then it's up to
the
three-letter agencies, FDA, et cetera, et cetera, to put meat on the bones.
This just says, hey, this is a framework we kind of want, and we're going to give you all this money.
You work it out on how exactly
you're going to do that.
That's how insane this bill is.
It encourages and gives power to unelected officials.
We are living in Woodrow Wilson's dream time,
and
you need to know about it.
And we will give you all of the details
on that in tomorrow's broadcast.
Jeez.
By the way,
Cuomosexual merchandise is no longer for sale.
For some reason, they've decided to
get off that bandwagon.
You know what it is for sale, Glenn?
What?
This mug right here that says Andrew Cuomo is awful.
It's available at andrewcuomoisawful.com.
By the way, one thing that might also be good to have in the future, ChrisCuomoisworse.com because that one's the next one.
I think we go from AndrewCuomoisAwful.com to ChrisCuomo.
Chris Cuomo is worse.
Well, we started that because I kept saying Andrew Cuomo is awful.com.
And the people would say, Andrew Cuomo, Chris Cuomo is worse.
So then we made ChrisCuomo is worse.com.
I want a Chris Cuomo Guomo is Fredo.
Mug.
He is.
He is that.
He is Fredo.
He hates that.
So if you see him, make sure not to bring that up because
he does not like it.
Or make sure you do bring that up.
Oh,
but he might be a song.
Maybe we can send him a mug.
Chris Guomo is Fredo.
I don't want to encourage our listeners to be hit by his Royd rage, though.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
