Let me tell you about Built Bar.
Built Bar is delicious.
It's a candy bar.
That's not what they call it.
I mean, that's never been the way they've talked about it before.
A candy bar.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Talk about it.
Well, it's a really good-tasting protein bar that's healthy for you.
And if you happen to be on keto, you can keep your net carbs really low,
your calories low, high protein.
It's going to fill you up.
I heard sawdust, sawdust, sawdust, sawdust.
Things I don't want.
How about this?
Peanut butter brownie, double chocolate, salted caramel, coconut almond, cherry, raspberry, mint brownie, right?
And they all taste like those things.
They don't taste like
something that's good for you.
Your commercial is better than my commercial.

What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This
is
the Glenbeck Program.
Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenbeck Program.
Today,
we have the
testimony and the investigation beginning in the House of Representatives to figure out what exactly happened on January 6th.
Oh my gosh, I bet they're going to find a lot of really scary stuff.
A lot of really scary stuff.
It won't actually be scary, but they'll make it sound really, really scary.
I mean, it was an insurrection.
They were trying to overthrow the government of the United States.
Forget about the people on the west coast in Portland.
They're just,
they're just kids.
I mean, they're just kids.
We have that beginning in about a half an hour.
But
I want to pose a question to you.
you.
This is now
about
the flu.
Okay?
COVID is as about a dangerous now as the flu is, especially if you get a vaccine.
Our death rate is now, what,
6%,
maybe?
94%
of those who get it recover and they're fine now about that, right?
It's never been that high.
Never been 6% of people dying.
That would be very, that would be a much worse situation.
So, what is it now?
Well, I mean, it's probably about half a percent?
Half a percent?
Yeah.
Good.
Good, even better.
So, half a percent.
Why are we still talking about the masks?
Why are we arguing about this?
What's really going on?
Let me show you something about what the other hand is doing.
And it might explain things in 60 seconds.
The Glenn Beck program.
So sometimes it's around a golf that you wish you could play.
Sometimes it's getting on the floor to wrestle around with the grandkids.
Some days it's just getting out of bed and then getting back into it later on.
Whatever it is that you want to do, but you can't because you're living in pain,
I want you to try Relief Factor.
When you're living with pain, especially if it's frequent and debilitating, you're having these moments of your life taken from you, but it's time to take them back.
I know a lot of people who have gotten free from their pain using Relief Factor.
It works to fight our inflammation in our body, which is a source of most of our pain.
It's worked for me.
I have my life back.
Will it work for you?
I don't know.
Works for 70% of the people that try it.
They go on to order more month after month.
And I'm telling you now, if you're not seeing any results after three weeks, stop taking it because it's most likely not going to work for you.
Are you part of that 70% that can get their life back relief factor calm 800 583 84 it's relief factor calm 800 583 84 tomorrow night on Glenn TV the riot that occurred on January 6th was a national tragedy but the left is now using that one event to completely redefine domestic terrorism and you might be their next target Glenn unveils the Biden administration's latest tactics to supposedly secure our nation all at the cost of our fundamental rights.
Watch Biden's new domestic terrorism threat.
You.
Tomorrow night, 9 p.m.
Eastern at PlaySt.com/slash Glenn.
So, so
this
Delta variant,
when we have the vaccines,
and even at the level that we're at right now of people that are getting the vaccine, how bad is this?
It's more contagious.
You know, what they said earlier, a few weeks ago, we talked about it.
They're like, well, it's going to become the dominant variant in the United States.
And that did happen.
It's up over 80% of cases now.
That being said, it does not seem to be any more deadly than previous strains of the virus, which is obviously very good.
Would you say this is something, like I said when it first came out, we're going to have to to learn to live with?
Yeah, I think we don't have to learn to live with it, I don't think, but I think that's probably the reality of the situation.
If you look at what just happened in the UK, which looks like it is now past its peak,
and this may have been what you were thinking in the intro, which is that the death rate compared to the two previous outbreaks is down about 93%.
That's it.
So a 93% drop in death rate.
So
they got the cases, almost all among unvaccinated people.
However, those unvaccinated people were largely younger.
And as we've said from the beginning, right, younger people don't tend to die from this.
Correct.
So they protected all of their older people,
many of the people who are immunocompromised.
And what they saw was a massive drop in the rate of death.
And there,
93% drop-off is, you're right, it's going to be, it's going to feel, it's going to be, it's going to go from a pandemic to a nuisance.
Did you ever see the, I don't remember which diehard it was, but the one where they were taking the gold out of the Fed in downtown New York.
Is that the one where he's wearing the sign?
But you could never make the scene where he's at the very end of the
I will say, go back and watch the gets diehard 3.
It's the one with Samuel L.
Jackson in it.
Yes.
Yes.
And so the first scene, he, I can't remember exactly how it works, but he has to wear a sign that includes the full N-word on it,
walking around the city.
Yes.
Apparently, that would be a risky behavior in that particular neighborhood.
And that's not a scene that they would make, they would include in a movie today, would they?
No.
No.
No.
But if the movie were happening, I mean, if it was really happening, you know, that would happen in real life because they're terrorists.
And so they don't mind sending somebody out in the street with a sign that uses the N-word.
They're terrorists.
Okay, so
they don't care about people's feelings.
They're not woke terrorists.
So here's the thing.
If you remember that, why was he wearing the sandwich sign?
That did not impact me as much as the sandwich sign.
Okay.
What were they doing?
They were robbing the Federal Reserve of all the gold.
I remember him having to go bounce all around town and have to do these tasks.
Tasks, right?
Mm-hmm.
And then they said there was a bomb in a school.
Yes, yes, there was a bomb in a school.
Bomb in a school.
So what were they doing?
Because
they didn't care about any of that.
I hope you're just quizzing me and know the answer because I do not remember it well enough.
So,
it was because they were using misdirection, they were causing chaos and they were having everyone look
someplace else.
Right.
Okay.
Yes.
And they were causing chaos and
trying to make it all about something that it wasn't about.
Okay.
All right.
May I suggest that we're living through
that diehard without Samuel L.
Jackson or a sandwich board?
Okay.
What's really going on is happening at the Federal Reserve.
Hear me out for a second.
Do you remember before
it was when COVID was really happening in China and when the three researchers went in for
COVID-like symptoms, that happened in
October or November.
I think October 2019.
2019.
Do you remember what we were talking about in October of 2019 in regards to the Federal Reserve and the banking system?
No.
Okay.
It's been erased.
Okay.
We were talking about,
wait, $100 billion
being printed every night and sent to the banks?
Something's wrong.
That's never happened before.
Why do they need that overnight lending of $100 billion a night?
Remember, they were just going to do it for a couple of nights and they were going to do it for $25 billion and then it was $50 billion.
Then it was $75, then it was $100.
And I think it went over $100.
Okay.
And they said, you could keep that money for months and months and months if you really need to.
That's never been done before.
Not the way they normally do business.
Correct.
CNBC, everybody was talking about and saying, we don't know why this is happening.
Nobody is making any comment on it.
I told you why it was happening.
The banks were failing again.
The banks were failing again.
This is a house of cards.
Okay.
So if you go back to 2008, we had the banking crisis.
And what did they do?
They bailed out the banks, right?
So they bailed out the banks.
Then
a QE, quantitative easing,
was brought in.
And that was the fix to make sure the banks don't fail.
That was giving them even more money.
That was sending them more money so
the banks could get rid of all those bad loans and they would go to the Federal Reserve.
The economy has been hanging by a thread ever since.
The banking system has been hanging
by a thread.
And then the entire money market seized up about 2019 around the time that COVID was first being, you know,
experienced in the lab.
They were printing a hundred million dollars a night.
Everybody should have been freaking out, but they weren't.
Then,
at the beginning of 2020, this last year, major central banks around the world expanded the money supply
anywhere from 30% to God only knows.
Okay.
The central banks could not have increased the money supply by 30%
without everybody up in arms.
Why are you doing this?
What is that money?
Who's that money going to?
Where is that money going?
Okay, they increased the money supply by 30%.
But instead of talking about that
and bailing out the banks again, what are we talking about?
We're talking about an unprecedented event.
We are talking about the worst scourge ever known to man, something that we have to keep arguing about.
We are denying the science that normal people who get COVID now have an automatic vaccine in them.
It's called the human body and the way it works.
You have antibodies now because you've had it.
We've always accepted that science, always.
Now, we don't know.
We don't know.
For the first time,
you probably don't have antibodies.
No, research is showing that the antibodies are probably stronger than the vaccines.
But
if you want to get a vaccine, you can get a vaccine.
We have the vaccine.
Remember, it was, we have to do this until we flatten the curve.
Then until then until maybe until summer.
Then until we have a vaccine.
Now we have a vaccine.
Now until everybody's vaccinated.
And even if you're vaccinated, you still have to wear a mask.
What the hell is this all about?
I wonder if it isn't all about keeping us fighting and keeping us at each other's throats.
Because that's what's happened.
If you really wanted to solve this thing, You wouldn't be treating people the way you're treating them now.
Look at what's going on.
Look at how they're treating people.
Look at how what they're calling them names and killers if you don't get a vaccine.
Is that going to bring anybody in to have a vaccine?
Oh, yeah, you know, I was just, I've just realized that everybody in the White House and everybody around, you know, on TV, they were right.
I was a killer.
I was a bastard that just didn't care about anything except myself.
Yeah, like they had Joe Biden went out to a speech with Terry McAuliffe, like a political speech.
And, you know, there was this narrative last week, like suddenly Republicans are saying good things about the vaccine.
And, you know, of course, they ran out a couple of quotes from conservative personalities who had been positive about the vaccine before.
You know, they just basically made up a narrative.
But instead, if that was true, though, right, if you were going to say, hey, We think conservatives aren't going to get the vaccine.
And then conservative personalities in the media started saying good things about the vaccine.
If you actually cared about vaccinating people, how would you use that information?
You'd encourage it.
You'd praise people for saying it, right?
Instead, what he did is he went out at a political rally and mocked the Republicans who were saying it, saying, oh, I guess they had an altar call, a come to Jesus moment on this.
And everyone laughed at the Republicans who were promoting the vaccine.
Again, if you actually cared about about getting these people vaccinated, why would you approach it that way?
You wouldn't.
No, they are not
actually cared.
And if you actually cared, you would be talking about the fact that it's Hispanics and the black community far more than the Republican Trump supporters that are not getting the vaccine.
You would be doing everything you can
to create some sort of trust between the African-American community and the government.
Instead, they're saying the government sucks, the government's after you.
The government's going to, you know, has been trying to kill you since before you were even born.
Yeah,
they don't care about getting you vaccinated at all.
All they care about is having the talking point to be able to say that conservatives are anti-science or the South is dumb or whatever point they want to make this week.
But you're right, they would be focusing on populations that, you know, frankly, the White House would have more success with.
You know, I mean, maybe the White House, you know, if someone who voted for Joe Biden might be a little bit more willing to go along with Joe Biden's advice.
I don't think having Jen Saki come to my door with a needle is going to help any conservative.
Now, yesterday,
PolitiFact
said that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris having any problem with the vaccine before they were president and vice president is a lie.
Hmm?
Listen.
So let's just say there's a vaccine that is approved and even distributed before the election.
Would you get it?
Well, I think that's going to be an issue for all of us.
If and when the vaccine comes.
It's not likely to go through all the tests that needs to be and the trials that are needed to be done.
When we finally do, God willing, get a vaccine, who's going to take the shot?
Who's going to take the shot?
You can be the first one to say, put me, sign me up.
They now say it's okay.
And the question of whether it's real when it's there that requires enormous transparency you've got to make all of it available to other experts across the nation so they can look and see so there's consensus this is a safe vaccine if the president announced tomorrow we have a vaccine would you take it only if it was completely transparent that other experts in the country could look at it only if we knew all of what went into it if donald trump can't give answers and the administration can't give answers to these three questions the american people should not have confidence.
But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I'm not taking it.
Now, PolitiFact says that none of that happened.
Hmm.
Because I just watched the video on Blaze TV.
It happened.
I just watched it and listened to it myself.
So
why is this all happening?
I go back to the Federal Reserve and the banks.
If the banks are failing, you have to keep this alive.
You keep printing the money, keep giving them the money so they don't fail, and then give it also to the consumers so the consumers don't fail to make their housing payment.
They got to make sure that the banks don't start going bankrupt with houses.
If people start to lose their house, they can't make their payments, who's really on the losing end of that?
The banks, they own a lot of houses that can't be paid for.
So let's make sure the banks have enough money.
Let's make sure that the banks are bailed out again, but we won't talk about bailing out the banks again because that would set people off.
Instead, let's just keep arguing.
Let's keep pitting people against each other while we make them into slaves.
Just keep depending on us.
Just keep looking to us.
We'll fix everything.
Patriot Mobile, not so long ago, companies existed to provide products and services,
but now, not so much.
Not so much.
It's a beautiful thing.
Almost every overnight, everything changed.
And now they're vessels.
They're vessels for things that...
They really believe in.
They really believe.
The anti-American, anti-family propaganda.
It's so great.
They really believe in killing children.
And that's what I want out of my phone company as somebody that will help Planned Parenthood kill more children.
It's wonderful.
Now some companies have the courage to stand up for America, for our Judeo-Christian values, for our Constitution.
And the first was Patriot Mobile.
I think it's also the last, but Patriot Mobile has the broadest nationwide coverage.
It uses the same towers as all the major carriers.
So you're getting the same service.
They have plans to fit any budget.
You're going to save money.
And their customer service team has the highest ratings among wireless carriers.
So great service,
same coverage, less money.
What am I missing here?
Oh, well, it doesn't fund Planned Parenthood.
It actually fights.
for you and for the things we're all fighting for.

So I have some things coming up on China in a little while that I think are a little stunning,
but nobody's talking about it.
By the way, the housing boom is over.
Looks like newly built homes dropped in June to the lowest level since the
early days of the pandemic back in April 2020.
Nobody was buying homes back in April 2020.
I mean, nobody was leaving their house in April 2020.
It looks like the housing
boom is over and they say it's over because nobody can afford the new houses.
Because they cost so much money to make and you're talking a 30% increase.
The houses that are needed are way too expensive.
Gosh.
We should just build communal housing.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
And have the government fund them.
Wouldn't that be great?
It would be.
Yeah.
Lots of funds.
We get rid of all these single-family units.
Co-op?
What about something?
We'll think of

Welcome to the Glenn Back program.
We are so glad that you have tuned in today.
We have
the owner of GNLE's Drive-Thru.
This is
a business up in Illinois that's been in business for a long time.
Terry
Trobiani is the owner of it, and he's just been cited for flying the American flag.
The city doesn't like the fact that he
has flags out front, and he's not going to stop flying the American flag.
Terry, welcome to the program.
Good morning, Glenn.
Glad to be here.
Yeah, thank you.
So what exactly is going on in your town?
They told you to take down your flag and your blue line flag, right?
Why?
Well, it's very interest um well, very interesting.
We've been fighting.
I'm not going to get into the past history, but the city has restrictions on temporary
flags, banners, A-frames, feather banners.
They don't want any kind of signage blowing in front of your property, which, you know, for a small business, that's actually what you need to promote your business.
So what happened on the 4th of July weekend was I had an A-frame sign out saying that here's the name of the restaurant.
We we have drive-through carry-out dine in our phone number and behind that I had a row of American flags it was a fourth of July weekend so at the same time we were we were requesting a variance on our A-frame well the village went in and obviously denied it five to nothing and because they don't want anything so I left the American flags out because according to their ordinance the American flag is ornamental and as long as you're flying the flags during a national or federal holiday ornamentation should be permitted.
So I left the flags out.
Well, the day after the 4th of July, they walk in, the village administrator walks in, and he says, you know, you might be violating the flag code with the flags.
I said, well, why would I be doing that?
I read the flag code pretty much in compliance.
No, he handed me a brochure, and I could quickly just two sentences.
He said, you might be violating these two areas.
The flags
should be displayed only on permanent flagpoles or staff specifically constructed for flag display.
And secondly, flagpoles should be within 15 feet of the curb.
And I said, okay, well, I read that.
I'm not in violation.
He said, well, maybe you should read them again.
I said, I'm pretty intelligent.
those are one sentences I interpreted them I'm not in violation well next morning the police officer walked in handed me two tickets and said the flags need to come out of the ground
I asked for an explanation no one gave me an explanation read the brochure that the village administrator brought in and said okay we're going through this again I can read apparently what's happened here is and I could not immediately decipher it from the letter that they gave me but apparently what's happened is that the Village of Prairie Grove has classified the American flag as a sign
and have taken away the symbol of the American flag.
So as a sign, it falls under their temporary sign ordinance, which prohibits any flying or any positioning of any signs on your property.
So now this includes the American flag.
And what they did also in this pamphlet, which again, I wasn't looking for, but I kind of interpreted later, is the only way that I could fly an American flag on my property is if I put it on a permanent 20 to 30 foot flagpole, which they have to permit.
So what they're doing is they're denying me my rights under the U.S.
flag code and my civil rights acts and being able to fly the American flag any way I want.
I should be able to wake up in the morning and say, oh, I'm really having a great day.
I'm going to stick a flag in my front lawn.
Nope, I can't do that.
I have to put concrete in the floor and build a permanent flagpole.
So now the village is dancing.
They're saying, well, we love the American flag.
We never said we can't fly the flag.
And my questions back to them were, well, since all this has been going on, no one's come back to me and say, well, maybe we misinterpreted something.
Let's put it in the ground.
No one's gone there.
What they've done is they gave me two tickets, which I called the village to pay.
And the lawyer informed me that they're not going to accept my $200 unless I sign a letter that says I have violated the sign ordinance.
And then I sign a subsequent letter, which says I will never ever in the future, I guess as long as I live.
When did that policy come in?
You're given a ticket.
Now
you have to do something that Mao had the Chinese dissidents do?
I mean, you now have to.
I guess.
I mean, I didn't finish on the subsequent letter, but I need to sign that letter.
It says I will not ever violate a signed ordinance.
And I said, well, the sign ordinance that you interpret?
Like, why would I sign that?
So I said, you know what?
Draw that letter up.
I'm inquisitive.
Sign the letter up.
I like to see the verbiage on it.
No, we're not going to do that.
You need to agree on the phone now, immediately, to agree to the letter with our attorney, and then we will take the time to put the letter together so you can sign it.
I said, well,
a few expletives later, I told them what to do with the letter.
So,
where does this stand now?
I mean, I don't understand.
It's a little small town, right?
1904 people.
Yeah.
So, is it just all crazy
lefties that look at the flag and say, that's just a Republican sign?
Or what is going on?
I didn't think so.
I know you've done your homework.
This is McHenry County.
McHenry County is one of the reddest states in Illinois.
I mean, we are Trumpers.
He won by 7,000 votes out here.
But there are people who go, and I think the case is that they appear to be independents, and we know where that goes.
know
what side what side they're on.
I mean, I was on a Dana Perino show yesterday, and she caught a whim of my blue flag, and she made a comment.
And I've had these two flags up.
And now they're accusing me that, oh, you're putting the American flag up to draw attention to your business.
And my response to that was, well, when I built this development, you know, when I built this building on day one, when I opened the doors, I put the American flag on one pole.
I put a blue line and red light flag on the other pole.
And I have been flying, I have been working this business from day one with the American flag flying outside my establishment.
And apparently, in July of 2021, I'm now really only doing that to draw business into my business, which is ridiculous.
They're dancing.
I think they know where they've gone.
They don't care.
Yesterday,
an attorney and a police officer came into my restaurant and tried to tell me that we called to settle the case, and they were there to work on settling with me.
And I I just told the police officer, please ask the order out of my business.
We never called you.
I'm being represented by an attorney.
Tell your attorney if he doesn't know that, that you get another attorney.
So please take them out of here, walk out, or don't ever talk to me again.
And since then, my lawyer has sent them a letter explaining that.
So
they don't want any signage.
And this is not pertaining to our discussion specifically, but they don't want any signage on the road.
I can't put an open sign, a sign that says, you know, carry out, dine in, drive through.
COVID was tough.
You know, we're in the restaurant business.
COVID was tough on us.
We succeeded.
We made it through.
And we cut a lot of things.
We never cut an employee.
We paid all our employees.
I didn't take a paycheck for a year to keep our employees online because it was that important to me to keep things going.
And
you fight for a year and you beat a pandemic.
And then you've got this little municipality with five trustees and a president who just have no respect for small business.
And right now, what I see is they have no respect for the Republic.
And the United States going after me with a flag.
I think it's terrible.
The direction that government in all levels have taken us to this point is it's despicable.
Glenn, I have 25 to 30 phone calls a day from all over the United States.
Army vets,
you name it, people calling me saying, you stick to your guns.
Do not let them overrun you.
This is the American flag.
You fly it proud.
You fly it high.
I don't even know these people.
And I'm getting calls all day.
It's disruptive to my business because we run a restaurant, but I love it.
I mean, I'm feeding on it.
Like, I can't believe
there's all these people coming out of the woodwork to defend this flag.
And it's really nice to see that happening on a daily basis.
Terry, I appreciate it.
We'll watch your story.
Tell me
when is the next date of something that's supposed to happen?
You go into court or do you have any idea?
I do.
I have a court date.
I was given a court date with the tickets.
The court date is August 25th at 1:30.
They're holding it at the village hall.
They're not even bringing it to municipal court.
I have to actually go into kangaroo court where they hire an adjudicary lawyer who they're going to pay to be a judge.
And I said, this is going to be fair.
You know, I don't even know what I'm walking into.
I have two tickets.
I just want to pay them and go away.
So I don't even know what I'm going to court for.
I mean, are they going to reprimand me?
Maybe they're going to feather and tire me.
I don't know.
It's going to be
we'll check back with you after the court hearing.
Thanks, Terry.
Appreciate it.
Okay.
All right.
Bye-bye.
Appreciate your time.
Thank you.
By the way,
we have the select committee showing now videos that we've never seen before of the January 6th attack.
And
Nancy Pelosi was there and wanted to make sure everybody.
saw those things.
So she put them together and gave them to the committee so we could all see them.
Finally, here's a little clip of some of the audio.
Storm your own capital and tell you
that
they didn't edit for television.
They were saying, storm your own capital buildings, take down every one of these
corrupt people,
if you will.
Mother fathers.
Yes.
All right.
That's what they they said.
That's what they said.
And
apparently,
apparently, we've held on to this video for some reason until now.
I don't know why we haven't seen this stuff before.
Well, it's like a trailer.
You don't put the whole movie in the trailer.
You want to make sure you have something to reveal when people get to the theaters.
Oh, okay.
So we are in the theaters, everybody.
Okay.
So that's.
Are you saying all the world is but a stage?
Maybe I am.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
It is Tuesday.
I've got a couple of things that we've got to talk about today that I think are really, really important.
Did you know China is buying farmland in America like nobody's business?
What are we doing?
What are we doing?
They have hundreds of thousands of acres of our farmland now.
They're going in and they're buying farmland that's in distress and
are starting to farm it there.
But why?
Why would we let that happen?
We've given everything to the Chinese, and now we're selling them our farmland?
No, thank you.
You know who else is buying up farmland?
Bill Gates.
I I mean,
people who are not necessarily friendly to the free market are buying our farms.
Well, is there an example of something that Bill Gates is not currently purchasing?
I think he's purchasing all the things.
And the same thing with the Chinese.
I'm wondering if I should tell you who just
bought a house in my neighborhood.
The Chinese?
No, no, no, no.
Because I was going to say that sounds pretty racist.
Like, the Chinese are moving into my neighborhood.
Yeah, no.
That would be a weird monologue.
Yeah, it would be.
And I think I'm maybe a little more comfortable.
The rumor is, and no, they're saying that it's
saying it's happened.
I don't know.
Melinda Gates.
Really?
Yeah.
Just bought a house, apparently.
I mean, you know, look, I think maybe
go pay a visit, say hello.
Oh,
oh,
I'm a Mormon.
I feel the need to send the missionaries over relentlessly.
That's going to be an interesting.
So, is would you because there's no law, right, against a Chinese business purchasing land, right?
A farm owned, a farmer.
There might be, there might, maybe there should be.
For instance,
you know, there was a story in January
that the Chinese just bought one of the biggest ranches in all of Dallas.
It has its own airstrip.
So they can fly directly there.
And the guy who bought it is a former general of the Communist Party military
and the guy who helped build all the concentration camps.
Oh, great.
Great.
Maybe he can build some there.
That would be great.
Maybe he can move next to Melinda Gates.
But there you go.
There you go.
Why not?
Why not?
I will say,
I don't know what you do about that problem.
I mean, you really have to basically pass a law, right?
I mean, we have a free market.
Anyone who wants to buy a property can buy it, pretty much.
I mean, foreign investment has been common in the country for a very long time.
At some, there have been levels at times in history where we've come up with
an idea that maybe we don't want that to occur as often.
So they changed the rules.
It's a communist country.
Yeah, I'm not saying it's right or wrong.
I'm just saying I don't know what you do to stop it unless you pass a law.
I just don't think that we should have,
you know, communist countries come in under the guise of a giant corporation or a retiree that built the concentration camps coming in and buying
buying farmland or ranch land here in America.
Especially with an airstrip.
I'm just saying, what could possibly go wrong?
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Well, I don't know about you, but I believe in justice.
Yeah, I believe,
I believe the
good guys eventually win.
Might be 80 years from now, but the good guys will eventually win.
In the meantime, we have the Justice Department doing squat on anything.
You know,
they just said, you know, I think we should stop looking at
these Chinese scientists with military ties that are coming in.
You know, we had a bunch of them that we were going to put them in jail, but, you know, I don't think we should look at that anymore.
I think that's fine.
That's fine.
We also now have the House doing their January 6th investigation.
Duh, that's going to go well.
You know who's on the committee?
Adam Schiff.
Oh,
he's not a partisan hack at all.
He's going to be great.
And Anthony Fauci.
We know Anthony Fauci lied.
Is anything going to happen?
Oh, oh, another one.
The Justice Department has decided,
there's nothing to see ye with Cuomo.
I told you the truth the whole time.
No, you really didn't.
And now the Justice Department has decided, you know, there's no real reason to look into that.
It is corruption through and through.
We're going to take a couple of these on and maybe the Berents
from the great governor of New York.
Coming up in just a second, we begin with Anthony Fauci.
The Glenn Beck Program.
All right.
If you're going to sell your house,
it has just...
Turned, I guess, maybe in your favor because the new housing starts.
The The new housing is the bubble has popped on that.
It went up 30% and people can't afford it.
And now we are back to the sales levels of new houses
about the same we had in April 2020.
That's, you know, a couple months into the pandemic.
Nobody was buying houses.
So that bubble is over.
Now is the time for you to sell your house.
If you're looking for somebody that is a great real estate agent, somebody that will listen to you, somebody that has a proven system to sell houses, has a great track record, and also has all of the people in their Rolodex that you might need in case you need to do something to your house to get it ready for sale.

Josh Rogan is with us.
He's the author of Chaos Under Heaven and a columnist with the Washington Post.
Now, I'm not going to hold that against him,
but
he has been on this Ren Paul Fauci debate, and I'm not hearing anybody telling the truth in the mainstream media.
Josh is trying to change all that.
Hello, Josh.
How are you?
Hey, Glenn, great to be back with you.
Thank you.
So
how is this not an open and shut case with Dr.
Fauci?
Well, you know, we've spent a year and a half placing Anthony Fauci on this pedestal and venerating him as a deity.
And so when he gets into the five-minute shouting match with Rand Paul, it's very easy for everyone to just write the story that Fauci got vanquished by Rand Paul without actually listening to what these two men were saying and seeing which one makes the most sense.
If you just follow the issue of what Anthony Fauci has been doing in terms of throwing cold water on the lab league theory and avoiding congressional oversight of the NIH's relationships with these Wuhan labs, then you can understand why people like Rand Paul and lots of other people, including lots of scientists, think Fauci is playing a double game here, that he's using his
authority and his popularity and his ability to have the Democratic Party in Congress come to his defense every time he gets into one of these scuffles to distract us from the real issue.
And the real issue is that the NIH, not just the NIH, and USAID and the Pentagon and all of these other U.S.
agencies were doing work funneling American taxpayer money and know-how to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
And now that the pandemic broke out on the doorstep of the lab, the Wuhan Institute of Virology has told us all to go pound pound sand.
And how can that be?
And why were we doing all of this collaboration?
And do you still want to do this collaboration with a bunch of Chinese labs that won't even let us into the lab when the crisis breaks out?
And you don't even have to believe that the lab leak theory is true to understand that people like Anthony Fauci, who were the head of this collaboration, who promoted this collaboration, whether you call it Gain of Function or you don't call it Gain of Function, that's kind of a word game.
We can get into that if you want to.
But the bottom line is that's a red herring because Fauci Fauci was in charge of overseeing this collaboration and he failed in that fiduciary responsibility.
It's obvious because now when we're trying to get into the lab to investigate the greatest pandemic in human history, they won't even open the lab to us.
So what are we schmucks?
We want to give them more money when they tell us we can't even go into the lab to do the investigation.
That's what Anthony Fauci is arguing for and that seems crazy to me.
Josh, can we go into the word games here being played with Gain of Function for a minute?
Because it does appear to, I think, the average person looking at this that Anthony Fauci is just playing semantics here.
He's, I mean, the documents literally say gain of function on them, and he's trying to make this argument that it's obvious it is not gain of function.
How do we navigate
this path?
Right, sure.
So, you know, again, I think it is a word game, but it's worth parsing out because it's confusing to everyone.
You know, what we know is that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was doing work to modify bat bat coronaviruses in ways that made them more transmissible and more dangerous to human beings okay
and that's what they published that's what they admitted to that's not even in dispute now to rand paul and to me and to you that if you're gaining the function of a virus well how could that not be gain of function and what fauci's game here is is that he's pointing to a specific definition that the nih uses to determine whether or not they should submit this gain of function research to their own review body.
In other words, is it risky enough to warrant another level of review?
But what's funny about that, I mean, not ha-ha funny, but kind of ironic funny, is that that definition was written by the NIH and Anthony Fauci.
In other words, he crafted a definition
to exclude all of the research that he was in charge of.
And so then he built an oversight mechanism and then never used it.
Okay, they built an entire oversight mechanism, a review board.
after the Obama administration paused the gain of function research because it's risky because lab accidents happen all the time.
And they turned it back on and Anthony Fauci was instrumental in turning it back on inside the government during the Trump administration when the Trump officials weren't paying attention.
And then he wrote the definition and designed the oversight system so it was never used.
Okay, and then when the bat coronavirus pandemic breaks out on the doorstep of the bat coronavirus lab and everyone's like, hey, Anthony Fauci, can we take a look at your documents?
And by the way, he says, no, I won't even give my documents over.
And then, by the way, do you think now that it was perhaps you should have reviewed this risky research?
So he's, you could make, in other words, you could, you can't, it's going to be tough to prosecute Anthony Fauci for lying because in his mind, he's telling the truth.
But the point is that he's bragging about a loophole that he created.
He built a loophole into the system, then he walked through the loophole, and then he uses it to defend himself.
And that is probably a good defense against perjury, but it's not a good defense against, hey, why were you doing all this risky research with all these Chinese laughs that tell us to go pound sand when there's a pandemic there?
It's like having a cheating husband and having the cheating husband design what cheating is.
And he says, well, massage parlors aren't cheating, right?
Like, well, okay, I mean, but you designed the rules
that amount to cheating.
So of course you're not going to break them.
Right.
Or it's like, I always like to say it's like,
you know, having,
you know, Robert Kardashian judge OJ, okay?
It doesn't mean that Robert Kardashian is not like a great lawyer, but he's got a conflict of interest because he's friends with OJ.
And that's what I'm getting to here is that Anthony Fauci, by the way, if you read the New York Times yesterday, is preparing to ask Congress for billions of dollars more to expand risky virus research to every kind of virus there is, influenza, you name it, okay?
That's his project.
That's his endgame.
He gave an interview in the New York Times where he said, the pandemic shows we have to spend billions, billions more digging up viruses all over the world, taking them back to labs.
Now, you know, on CNN, on Sunday, Jay Tapper asked Anthony Fauci, do you still think it's a good idea to do business with these Wuhan labs that we can't even get into?
And he said, don't worry, we've always been safe.
We'll continue to be safe.
In essence, he's saying, trust me.
Okay.
And that doesn't, when you know this, Glenn, when a public official says, trust me,
that's when you know something's fishy.
That's when you know you have to install some oversight.
So my point is that we can't have a system where the doctors and scientists oversee the doctors and scientists because they don't understand national security.
And they definitely don't understand what's going on in China now, which is a big, bigger scope of my book, which is that, you know.
No, go ahead.
Finish your thought.
Which is that, you know,
these scientists in China may be very nice people, but they're not in control.
They live in a totalitarian dictatorship that's becoming more aggressive and more repressive.
And that means us harm.
And that if you understand China, you understand that they're not doing open science anymore and that they've taken all of our money and know-how and built another part of the lab where they've worked with the Chinese military to do whatever they want to do with those viruses outside of our purview.
That's what the Trump administration revealed.
That's what the Biden administration has confirmed as that U.S.
intelligence shows.
They took us, okay?
They took all of our help and then they built the other part of the lab to build something that was aimed at us.
That's what military bioresearch is.
We have a program, they have a program.
Now, the question is, going forward, do we want to continue to fund and build their military bio-research program?
Is that a good idea, especially when they won't even let us into the city that the pandemic broke out into?
That seems crazy to me, but that's what Fauci is explicitly advocating for.
So how did we miss the fact that the guy who's running this lab is a former, I think, general,
at least in the Communist Party Army,
and his job was bioweapons?
You know,
what happened was for the first year of this pandemic, and Glenn, I know you know this well, we couldn't even talk about the Wuhan labs.
You were called racists or conspiracy theorists for even uttering the word Wuhan lab.
And I know this because I got attacked all the time, and many people like me.
And the problem, of course, was that the reason that it was considered a conspiracy
theory was because the friends of the lab, including Peter Dashak at the EcoHealth Alliance and lots of other friends of Anthony Fauci, you know, put out a bunch of scientific papers saying the lab was totally impossible and you're a racist or conspiracy theorist if you mentioned the lab.
So that's why for a year we couldn't even have a rational conversation.
We still can't have a rational conversation in a Senate hearing about how we got into this mess, about how the pandemic that killed 400 4 million people and 630,000 Americans started, which is crucial information, by the way, for preventing the next one.
In other words, if we don't figure out how this started, how are we going to prevent the next one?
Do you want to do this every year?
So the fact that in Wuhan they have a bio
weapons program, bio research program with the military is not really a shocking thing to say after all, because of course they do, because we have one, they have one.
That's what you do.
If you're a big country, you have a bioweapons research program.
But the fact that that was also may have been linked to or they may have taken our know-how from our government-funded projects, that's a big problem.
That's a big scary thing to think about.
It has implications for the entire industry of scientific collaboration, and that's Anthony Fauci's industry.
He's the head of that.
a part of that industry.
So lots of big, powerful interests here are getting upset just by the idea of getting to the truth of this.
And that's not even talking about the Chinese government cover-up.
They're covering up the lab.
There's a reason they're covering up the lab.
They don't want people to look through their bioweapons program.
Why would they want that?
So they've got a real problem here, too.
So it's very easy for the Biden administration to just do a 90-day intelligence review and then come out and say, well, we couldn't figure it out.
Well, let's all go on with our days.
But that's a very dangerous path to go down.
That's what Anthony Fauci would like us to do.
He'd like us to say, oh, that's his new line.
Oh, well, I don't know what's going on in China, but, you know, we're never going to find out.
So what are you going to do?
But that's the problem, is that we don't know what's going on in China.
Why is he funding these labs if we can't know what's going on inside them?
That seems to me to be the biggest, the easiest thing we can solve, whether the lab league theory is true or not.
Any justice going to be done on Fauci?
Is anyone going to follow up on this?
Will he be held accountable for anything?
Well, here's the thing.
Right now, we have several congressional investigations trying to get the document, not just, again, from Fauci, but from U.S.AID.
Why won't Anthony Blinken hand over the documents?
Samantha Power, Francis Collins at the NIH.
There are Pentagon documents about tens of millions of dollars that the Pentagon, the U.S.
Pentagon, gave to the EcoHealth Alliance that went to these Wuhan labs.
We need all of that stuff.
Well, the reason it's not happening is because no Democrats are on board.
Why would the Pentagon want to fund that?
If it wasn't gain of research or gain of function,
the Defense Threat Reduction Agency gave millions of dollars to the EcoHealth Alliance, and some of that went to the Wuhan Labs.
They were trying to
cooperate with China's bioresearch program, which now looks kind of crazy.
They didn't know that at the time.
Now we know that.
So the question is, what are we going to do going forward?
And how can we even know what to do
if those documents all remain secret?
So we need at least one Democratic committee chairman to threaten to use the subpoena power to get those documents that are in the hands of the U.S.
government.
It's our stuff.
They need to release our intelligence.
We don't need the Chinese Communist Party to give us permission to investigate.
You wouldn't ask OJ for permission to investigate OJ, would you?
No, you would just use your powers and influence to do the investigation, whether the defendant likes it or not.
The Chinese government is not going to like it.
And Democrats don't want to risk upsetting the U.S.-China relationship.
But I say, if you don't risk upsetting the delicate sensibilities of the Chinese Communist Party to figure out the death of 630,000 Americans, what would you risk it for?
What What could be more important?
What could be more crucial to our national security and our public health?
Back with Josh Rogan here in just a second.
Give me 60 seconds.
We're back into the program.
Millions of Americans have changed the quality of their life directly and dramatically.
That has been changed by pain.
I've met with so many people.
I've been one myself.
Lived with just pain that just didn't stop.
And the stories are often really difficult or heartbreaking.
I mean, I just, I've met some people.
It's just been heartbreaking.
But the good news is they start taking Relief Factor and they get out of pain.
I have met, I can't tell you the number, hundreds of people that have had debilitating pain.
I met a woman who was on fentanyl and couldn't get off and couldn't get off because the pain was just so bad.
Believe it or not, she started taking Relief Factor.
She looked at me and said, thank you.
I have my life back.
And that really meant something.
And her husband standing there in tears, saying, You don't know what it's like.
I haven't had my wife with me forever.
She's finally off of that stuff and she has a way to deal with the pain.

Talking to Josh Rogan, his book, Chaos Under Heaven, Trump G, and the battle for the 21st century.
And Josh, I want to focus on the last part here for a second.
You look at China and what's happened over the past just few years, where
they're cracking down on capitalists.
Businessmen are disappearing.
They're cracking down on crypto and removing that from the country.
Obviously, expanding the Uyghurs and all the problems there.
The issues with Hong Kong and the way that that has changed.
It just strikes me as there is a massive change in the way this country is dealing with the world over just the past few years.
We've always thought of China as a threat and there's problems there.
We've never agreed with them on human rights and all these things.
Am I correct to detect a real change, though, in momentum and direction over the past couple of years?
Absolutely.
I like to refer to it as the great leap backward.
You know, it's clear that Xi Jinping, in his first couple of years when he came in in 2013, set about consolidating power, purging all of his rivals under a false corruption,
anti-corruption plan, shutting down freedoms, building concentration camps.
And once he had all that in place, he turned his focus to the rest of the world.
And that's a big part of the book, is how the Chinese Communist Party has expanded its interference and influence in free and open societies, especially ours, how they've sought to influence our schools and our markets and our tech companies and our sports and our Hollywood movies and how all the various institutions of U.S.
society have been slow to react to that reality.
But they're waking up to it now as the pandemic ravages the whole world and we see what China as a world power really looks like.
And I think that awakening is happening in other countries as they're getting blackmailed about for Chinese vaccines or told that their companies can't do business in China unless they ignore the genocide or ignore the crackdown in Hong Kong.
And yet here in America, our Justice Department is dismissing
all of the Chinese military spies that were
in our institutions.
We're just dismissing the charges, not continuing with the investigation and setting them free.
Yeah, I think the
Biden administration is torrent, right?
There are some people who want to continue the Trump policy of standing up to the Chinese Communist Party, and there are some people who think that targeting Chinese researchers was racist or wrong.
but the fact is that if you're a Chinese researcher who hid their affiliation with the Chinese military, you've broken U.S.
law and you deserve to be prosecuted full stop.
And what the suspicion is, is that they did that in advance of Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman's visit to Beijing yesterday, where she traveled all the way, not to Beijing, to Taijin, where she traveled all the way to China, only to have the Chinese Communist Party officials tell her to go screw herself and she had to travel all the way back with nothing.
What they did was they humiliated the U.S.
government by pretending that they were going to have an open dialogue and then just spreading a bunch of their propaganda.
And what that shows us is that Xi Jinping sees this not as China rising, but as China risen.
And the Chinese Communist Party is becoming more totalitarian, more fascist, more nationalistic, more aggressive, more repressive.
It's all going in one direction.
And it's really, really dangerous.
Now, that doesn't mean that we have to go to war right now.
It means we have to avoid the war by confronting these problems before they get worse.
And that's what the challenge is going forward.
And that's not a partisan challenge.
That's for all Americans and really all people around the world.
Thank you so much,
Josh Rogan from Washington Post.
Thank you for being on with us.
We will probably have you on early and often about China as they have risen.
And I think we're already with ones and zeros at war with them.
This is the Glenback program.
Okay, I couldn't make a steak a year and a half ago on the grill to save my life, and I love steak.
What I could do is make it into fine
shoe leather.
I could do that.
It was great.
Hey, here's a pair of sirloin sandals for you.
Fortunately,
RekTech has changed all of that.
Instead of every guest I ever have over for a barbecue going sort of pale and saying, ah, you know, I ate just yesterday, so I'm good.
I can save
my
humiliation for other times and serve up amazing, flavorful food each and every time because of the smart grill technology.
RekTech does all the critical thinking for me, monitoring the ambient temperature and adjusting itself throughout the process to make sure that the heat stays even the whole time.
This way, you can bake in these things.
You can smoke, you can grill, you can bake.
It is, I mean,
there is no competition.
I want you to check an A-B compare.
There's nothing that you will find on the market
that is as good as RekTech.
Even at that price point, there's just nothing better.

This is the Glen Beck program.
I'm glad you're here.
I've got a big charity weekend coming up.
On Friday, I'm going to be Friday morning broadcasting from St.
George, one of the most beautiful towns you've ever seen.
Quick conservatives flock to St.
George, buy a place in St.
George, because all of these California people are going to move in and they're going to destroy this great little town.
Anyway,
I'm going to be there
not saying things like that on Friday to encourage people to rise up.
Last year, Operation Underground Railroad had
a campaign to rise up for children and stand against sex slaves and trafficking, human trafficking, and just slaves in general.
I don't know.
I think it's something we can all do.
Everybody is
wanting to get out in the streets.
This is one thing that we can all agree on.
So rise up this Friday.
You can go to Operation Underground Railroad and find out more details.
But I'm going to be there in St.
George in the morning with them all day, with Tim Ballard.
I think Lewis Howes is going to be there as well.
And then at night, we'll be flying into
Salt Lake to Thanksgiving Point at Electric Park, and they've got a big concert going on.
And I don't know why they invited me to that.
I mean, I can't imagine a big concert and then me coming out and going, hey everybody, let me tell you a story.
I don't think that's going to go well.
When you want to have fun, you always invite Glenn.
You always invite me.
Yeah, that's no, but you have said as soon as I leave, the parties get good.
Yeah, because people sort of save up the fun they would have had at the party when you're there and then they double it on the back end.
Right.
So it can get crazy.
So it's going to get crazy after I leave.
It's going to get crazy.
Which should be about six minutes after you're off stage.
Thank you very much.
You can get your tickets at ourrescue.org slash rise up.
We'll see you there.
Then on Saturday,
I am having
my art show and
gallery sale.
Now, I want you to know that everything that I sell on Saturday, all of it is going to...
Hunter Biden's blow.
Well, no, I didn't think.
No.
No, I wasn't thinking about that.
No, I didn't.
Oh, no.
Sorry.
Preservation of American history through Mercury One.
Much better cause than the cocaine for a day.
Than the cocaine for a day.
Right.
And if he doesn't have a hooker, you know, if I can't do that, I can't afford it.
You get to the point where you're Hunter Biden.
Just drugs?
Yeah.
Where are the hookers along with the drugs?
Right.
There's just no.
And where's the cash from China?
Right.
I need to be bathing in cash from China while doing blow off a hooker's belly.
That's how it works.
That's a Friday night.
And that's more like a Tuesday night for Hunter.
Friday gets a lot crazier.
That's a Tuesday night.
That's a Tuesday night.
What's a Thursday night like?
Okay, I don't want to go into that.
That gets like bad.
The cocaine and hookers is actually more like a Tuesday brunch
for Hunter at this point.
And that's why you need to sell paintings for $500,000.
Yours will be a little cheaper than that.
A little cheaper.
A little cheaper, but not cheap.
Again, I'm not saying that this would happen, but
anybody who buys my painting might, you know, might have the opportunity to meet my dad.
Now, my dad has been dead for, I don't know, about almost 10 years now.
Yeah.
So it's going to be a kind of a grisly thing to meet him.
But if that's what gets you to buy a painting, I'm fine.
It's all the money's going to charity.
These are great, though, by the way.
You can see them on your Instagram page, right?
I mean,
I do, I will say, every time I go to your Instagram page and you're showing off your art, I think to myself,
is he actually talented at something?
How did this happen?
I don't understand how it occurred.
It's crazy, isn't it?
They are really great.
I don't know how you feel like it possible.
You suffered through the years and years and years of just bad art.
No, just bad art.
You've always been pretty talented in that realm, though.
You've improved.
I mean, even
it's amazing what lessons will do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You struggle your whole life and you're like, I don't have any idea what I'm doing.
And
when I finally hired
this teacher, she said,
you haven't even tried watching YouTube?
And I'm like, no,
no.
She's like, you know, you can learn a lot of this on YouTube.
And I'm like, shut up.
You're wasting money.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Teach.
Don't talk through the process through.
Don't mock me and ridicule me,
which she still does for about 10 minutes before we start.
And usually afterwards, she's like, well, that went well.
She's actually,
she's actually, she's been, she's unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
A good teacher
can accelerate anything.
Oh, certainly.
This is why every wife back in the day used to say, why don't you ask for directions?
I think that's a good thing.
No, we did.
Ladies, we invented GPS.
That's what we did.
We put satellites in space so we didn't have to stop at a gas station.
Yeah.
As we look at the one, the one woman who is in the actual studio, poor Sarah.
Every time we say something about a woman, she's just the representative.
Sorry, Sarah.
We're just yelling at her through the glass.
Yeah, now let me tell you.
Now let me tell you about Nancy Pelosi
and Lynn Cheney.
We hold you responsible.
By the way, did you hear about the guy that the New York doctor
who met this wonderful woman?
He's young, he's handsome.
You know, he's got a lot of money.
He's very successful, New York City.
He meets this woman.
She's a former Miss Connecticut, USA.
And she had gone to school.
I don't remember where she went to school, but she went to school.
She was
majoring in chemistry.
And so she had her chemistry.
I don't know what the hell.
I mean, I don't know what you do with that.
What do you do?
Is that like a mixologist?
I think this is how Breaking Bad started.
I think so, too.
This is how it ends up.
Well, it kind of ends that way.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
She didn't go to college.
She didn't even graduate from high school.
She was Miss Connecticut,
USA, but that's it.
In fact, she was a hooker and still is a hooker.
And they got married and she said, I'm just working on
an app.
right now with some people and it causes me to have to go places and I'm going to be doing stuff and because she all all of a sudden had like 500 grand in her bank account.
I'm just working on, you know, this algorithm.
I'm working a lot.
Apparently, I mean, I don't know what the rates are these days, but that seems like a lot of
frequency.
Yeah, well, apparently
she had a couple of sugar daddies that were kind of like taking care of her.
Ah, you know what I mean?
Okay.
And
so he found out.
And the guy says, I want to file for a divorce.
I mean, what's up with that?
He doesn't support a working woman?
This is the sort of sexism that goes on in this country.
Amen, brother.
Can you imagine finding that out about your wife?
No, no, no.
That would be very bad.
That would be, I feel like, disruptive to your home life.
That's what I would, that's how I would describe it.
It might be.
Yeah.
It might be.
It might be also the time you go, wow, glad we didn't have children.
You know, what a mom she would make.
What a mom she would make.
Working hard for the kids.
Yes.
You know, I only do this
so you can have a better life.
You make mommy do this.
You make
mommy does this because you cry.
You didn't clean up your room.
Look what mommy had to do.
That's what I tell my kids now.
Yeah, dad's an alcoholic only because you cried when you were little.
Right.
That's the seed of it.
You don't understand?
You don't understand.
I've gone through all of the steps
and I got to, I think I got to step number three, and I'm like, it's the kids, and they're crying all the time that's making me drink.
And so I stopped the rest because I got it.
I got it.
It was the kids that made me drink.
Right.
And once you find the cause of it, you're able to deal with it a lot better.
Right.
And you can handle your alcoholic.
So she, I don't know if she has to, what she's going to do to handle her
hookerism
that she apparently is addicted to.
But
apparently this doctor is not going back with her.
It's called being judgmental.
You don't want women in the workforce, and this is the sexism that's ruined our country.
So she's a sex worker and a secret sex worker.
What?
He's a doctor.
They both see people naked.
Yes.
Yes, they do.
Yes, they do.
Both work with bodily fluids.
Pretty much the same gig.
I don't know what you're complaining about, Doc.
All right, the battle for our age is taking place in the minds and the hearts of our nation's children right now and all across America right now.
Millions of kids are having their ideologies shaped by the soulless machines of both Hollywood and our own public schools, from the lessons they're taught to the books that they're told they ought to read.
Our kids are caught in a thick swamp of bad ideas.
We have got to save this generation.
We have to do everything we can.
I found a collection of books that I think you're going to like.
It's the Tuttle Twin Books.
They're an exploration of all the things that make us a freer, more perfect union.
They teach accurate history of the United States.
They explain how things like the free market and limited government work.
Your kids, your grandkids, they need to read these books.
Now, they have books for really all ages, but the Tuttle Twins books are for the younger kids, and they're great.

Tomorrow night on Glenn TV.
The riot that occurred on January 6th was a national tragedy, but the left is now using that one event to completely redefine domestic terrorism.
And you might be their next target.
Glenn unveils the Biden administration's latest tactics to supposedly secure our nation, all at the cost of our fundamental rights.
Watch Biden's new domestic terrorism threat.
You.
Tomorrow night, 9 p.m.
Eastern at PlaySt.com/slash Glenn.
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
There is a problem now that is beginning to happen that I told you about a couple of months ago.
The drought all across the West is really,
really bad.
And cattle ranchers now in Colorado fear that they are going to have to start culling their
cattle.
And the problem is we only have four
main processors for beef and pigs and everything else.
And two of them are owned by foreign governments.
One of them, the biggest one, owned by China.
And so if you have cattle, you can't sell them now or say, hey, I want to process this beef so I can, you know, just even give it to the homeless.
You can't do it because the processing plants, the smaller ones, are backed up for a year.
So you have to either kill and bury your cow
or try to find some way to feed the cow for an extra year and there's no food.
We can't grow the alfalfa and it cost outrageous sums of money to get the alfalfa up from, you know, let's say Arizona up to Wyoming.
It's an outrageous sum of money and the demand is really high and the farmers can't afford it.
So what do they do?
This has been a really, really bad year for farmers and for ranchers.
And we're going to pay a very hefty price for all of this.
It is, you know, it's nobody's fault.
It is the
drought.
And then in the south, we've had so much rain, some ranchers can't,
they can't grow anything because there's too much rain.
It's damn global warming.
Either that or this has happened before.
But
I just
want to warn you that higher prices of beef and everything,
higher prices are coming.
And they're coming soon to a grocery store near you.
So make sure if you like meat, that you go out and you buy some extra meat and you freeze it.
And if there's anybody near Idaho that, you know,
can squeeze some of my cattle in,
so to speak, to have them processed, give all the meat to homeless shelters.
I just can't.
I think we're going to have to probably cull
five to ten of our cattle.
We just don't have enough food.
And that's a lot of really
good grass-fed beef.
And if somebody wants to take the cows and we can give them to the homeless, I mean, not the cows, but the meat,
I don't know where because all of the processing plants around me are full up for a year, year in advance.
I think we should just give the cows directly to the homeless and see what happens.
You know, if somebody has a truck and wants to take them to San Francisco, let's just release them right in the right in the center of san francisco it'd be kind of shocking for the cattle i think i think they're like what's the smell
the cows are like
i couldn't live here what is up with these animals
They've lived among cow dung their entire lives.
Oh, yeah, this is an offensive odor.
Wow.
Remember when we were rolling into each other's pee and poop?
Oh, boy, those days don't come back.
Now we live in San Francisco.
Hell, the smell of these, is that Nicholas Cage?
Is that,
oh,
what is...
He let himself go.
Whoa.
That's a bizarre problem to have.
You think this is
high-end stuff that people would want.
They do.
We screwed up all of our processing plants because the FDA said, we're only going to approve FDA state lines.
We're only doing these things.
And so now you've got four processing plants
and you've got some local processors, but not enough to be able to handle anything like this.
And God forbid, we
cull all of these cattle and we just bury them.
That's just, it's immoral.
It's immoral.
But what are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
You're the rancher.
I don't know.
What are you looking at me for?
This is when the ranchers of the old days used to shoot him in the head and bury him.
I mean, it's bad.
It's bad, but you can't let him starve.
It's a horrible, horrible situation.
Pray for our farmers.
Pray for our ranchers.
Pray for rain.
This is the Glenbeck Program.
Hello, American.
Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.
This hour,
why why does the January 6th Commission need to be bipartisan?
Really?
Wait until you hear what they are saying and how Republicans shouldn't be a part of this January 6th investigation into the most dangerous day since the Civil War.
They've started today.
They now have the Metropolitan Police Officers giving their version of what happened and how dangerous this was.
This is nothing but a kangaroo court, I believe.
I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt I am.
Also, they were protesting in the streets of Washington, D.C.
yesterday.
Pretty much asking Joe Biden, where are you on Cuba?
Why are you not doing anything on Cuba?
But there were other protests in the streets, this time in the streets of Iran.
And they are chanting in Persian, Persian, death to the dictator.
There is a movement all over
the world, and our elite just want to pretend that it's not happening.
We get into that in 60 seconds.
The Glenn Beck program.
Believe me, I appreciate the moments of the day, and I know you do too, when you get some alone time just to be with your own head.
In those moments,
silence is the best.
The next best is listening to something on, you know, a Raycon.
Just have your Raycon earbuds in and listening to some music or, you know, a good audio book.
My favorite way to experience those things is with my Raycon wireless earbuds when I can get them back from the children.
First of all, sound amazing.
By the way, I bought my children Raycons as well because they borrowed them.
They're like, these are great.
So I bought them because I knew that they would take them and then I'd never see them again.
I don't know what happened to their pair, but I know where my pair is with them.
Anyway, they sound amazing.
The sound is crisp, powerful, smooth.
They have batteries that will run
after a recharge for like six hours.
You can cross the country, coast to coast, on an airplane and not run out of juice with these things.
The icing on the cake, they're about half the price of the competition.
So, Apple, go pound sand.
Raycon is here, and they're offering 15% off all of their products.
And here's what you have to do to get it: go to buyraycon.com/slash back.
15% off now at buyraycon.com/slash back.
So, let me take you,
let me take you you to Iran
Here cut to please the Iran protesters
on the streets chanting death to the dictator
Okay, don't think that's gonna work out well for them However if we didn't have the Biden administration in, maybe it would
maybe things would be different.
You know, all we really did with the Berlin Wall is we triangulated them.
We had Pope John Paul, who knew what communism was, knew how evil it was, and he
started putting pressure on the church.
Then you had Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan.
both encouraging people to rise up.
We won't forget you.
We're there for you.
And they just became emboldened.
What do you think would happen with Cuba
if Donald Trump were in office today?
You think the Cuban government would still be blowing everything off?
You think they'd still be beating protesters in the streets like they were over the weekend?
I don't think they would.
I don't think they would.
I think we would have had regime change.
And I know that, you know,
how could you possibly say so?
Well, I don't know.
We built an embassy in Jerusalem.
We made peace in the Middle East for the first time.
I don't know.
Crazier things have happened.
Here's one woman.
She was marching, a free Cuba protester.
She was marching to the White House.
The White House was surrounded by people demanding, where are you on Cuba?
Listen to what she had to say.
And so, what's your message to President Biden?
My message is that I know politics is
difficult, but there's always something you can do, okay?
But there's a choice.
You can choose to act or you can choose to sit back.
And like I told another reporter,
there's a phrase that says, what would Jesus do?
I asked, what would Trump do?
Because I believe that if Trump were in power, things would be very different.
But Biden's in power.
And although I didn't vote for him, he is there.
So now I'm asking him, what is he going to do?
What can he do?
What will he do?
Because
innocents are being slaughtered, they're being dragged out of their homes.
Young people, old people,
their houses, their doors are being knocked down.
They are going in and dragging them out, taking them, shooting them in their home.
So we're just asking for help.
There's always something that can be done.
So
look what's happening around the world.
Hong Kong, people rising up.
Great Britain, people rose up.
People are rising up all over the world.
And the worse the dictator,
the more they're rising up.
We are led to believe that what's happening in America is a right-wing thing.
It's just a Donald Trump thing.
No, Donald Trump was a symptom.
He was a symptom.
We've been going down this road for a while.
The whole world has been going down this road.
He didn't start it.
He is
a natural reaction
to people being shoved around.
Really?
We can't stop you with our voices.
You won't listen to us.
You continue to belittle us.
You continue to take away our rights.
You continue to scoff at all of the things that we believe in.
Fine, you're going to be a bully.
We'll get a bigger bully.
This is how countries fall into the hands of dictators.
Because then the next guy comes in and he's like, oh, you thought you were a bully.
Wait until you see what I do.
And we're seeing that happen.
And what will be the natural reaction?
The natural reaction for those that believe they're being bullied now by this will be
Trump on steroids.
Because they'll think, and I agree with them,
there is no justice anymore.
We're going to have to clean house.
And do you think they're going to want to have that happen to them?
Do you think all these weasels,
all these people that have had careers with the government forever
and call their own shots and are the big man or the big woman.
Yeah, I don't care who's president.
I'll be here.
You really think those people are going to, it's going to be easy to weed them out?
And do you think they like it?
This is not an American issue.
People getting the vaccination.
It's not an American issue.
People rebelling against the masks has nothing to do with Donald Trump.
If it did, how come France is having the same problem?
How come England is having the same problem?
Why is everybody around the world pushing back on their government?
Once you open your eyes to see what's going on in the rest of the world, you see that we're not alone.
And in each country, Our leaders are doing the same things and saying the same things.
Seems like only Sweden is the only one with a different approach.
I mean, I spent my whole life going, we don't want to be Sweden.
We don't want to be Sweden.
We don't want to be Sweden.
I kind of,
I'm actually kind of wishing we were more like Sweden.
And it's only going to get worse the more you hear.
Here's Andrew Cuomo, cut seven.
I have told you the facts on COVID from day one.
Whether they were easy, whether they were hard, I told you the truth.
While a lot of people were talking politics and a lot of people were talking theory.
Let me tell you something.
I told you the truth, the whole thing.
I told you the truth.
I told you the truth.
The whole time.
Because I believe.
I believe.
I believe in you
i believe in bonnie they get the i believe in love the facts they will do the right thing right so here is my life yeah okay shut up shut up andrew cuomo so here's the thing the justice department has just stopped the investigation into him
and others and others
really there's nothing to see there
it's almost as if the only thing they care about is getting those Republicans and silencing people online.
Now,
they are doing it, they were doing it slowly.
However, I don't think they did it slow enough, we noticed.
And now it seems they're moving at warp speed.
There's a couple of
a couple of stories that I find
very, very,
very disturbing.
And they are stories on what the government is now doing and how they are now starting to team up
with
these high-tech companies.
They are now teaming up
with companies that are giving us
AI that you just can't argue with.
Police are now
using something called Shot Spotter.
I don't know if anybody's even heard this,
but they're in over, I think, a hundred cities.
And what it is, is AI that listens to areas.
And because it has several listening areas, if it hears gunfire, it triangulates and says, this is where it is.
Well, that sounds fantastic.
So they can dispatch police right away.
That's great.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working so well.
May 31st last year,
25-year-old was shot in the head and dropped off at the hospital in Chicago by a man named Michael Williams.
The 25 year old guy died two days later.
Police in Chicago eventually arrested the 64-year-old Williams and charged him with murder.
He said
he was hit by a, he was, he was hit in a drive-by shooting.
But the key evidence is this.
They show him around the time of the shooting stopped at the 6300 block of South Stony Island Avenue at 1146.
The time and location where police say
the other guy was shot.
Now,
there's no footage of him shooting anyone.
He's just in his car at that location.
They have that on video.
So how do they know?
that that's where the shooting happened.
Because of shot spotter.
It's a surveillance system, hidden microphones and sensors to detect the sound and location of gunshots.
Except that's not really the way it worked at 1146 that night.
That night, 19 different shot spotter sensors detected a sound.
It was 1146.
They determined the location to be 5700 South Lake Shore Drive.
Now, hang on.
I thought it was 6,300 block of South Stoney Island.
Now it's 5,700 block of South Lake Shore Drive.
This is a mile away
from where they had Williams and said he was sitting there in his car and he just committed this murder right there.
Here's the deal.
Shot Spotter, it originally classified the sound as a firework.
It was the weekend after George Floyd's murder case, and they were lighting off fireworks.
So it classified it as fireworks.
But after the 11.46 p.m.
alert came in,
an analyst manually overrode the algorithms and reclassified it as a gunshot.
Then months later, after post-processing, another shot spotter analyst changed the alert's coordinates to the location of South Stony Island Drive.
So,
so wait, so wait.
They had him on tape.
The police say, wasn't it on the 6,300 block of
Stony Island Drive?
No, well,
let me look at that algorithm again.
Is this guy guilty or not
or is this is this the system that is supposed to keep us safe but it is constantly being altered by humans
once they have a suspect
it really happened over here didn't it oh yeah it looks like it did
do you trust this system at all How many people
have been nailed and gone to jail using ShotSpotter?
I only know about it because of this.
But the elites have gone in and they've started doing all kinds of things with high-tech that we're not aware of.
Nobody's had these discussions.
And to be clear, it doesn't seem like the tech was the problem there.
They overrode the tech.
Exactly right.
Then they're getting the credibility of some
high-tech device.
Anti-bias sort of device.
It would be like going and getting genetic and saying, well, we checked the DNA, but you change the report from what the DNA test said.
So, how is this,
how does this have any credibility at all?
More on this tomorrow, a lot more on this tomorrow, what the federal government is doing at 9 o'clock on
our special, Wednesday night special on Blazetv.com.
American Financing NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
All right.
Federal Housing Finance Agency has decided to eliminate a major refinance fee.
That means that your next refi could be even cheaper.
You'd essentially be able to save about $500 on every $100,000 borrowed.
Oh, that's good.
Now, when you pair that with the historically low interest rates we've been seeing, seeing, it's hard not to think now might be a good time to get a free mortgage review and see if you could save money.
No obligation, no pressure, no upfront or hidden fees, just a simple conversation about what you're currently paying for your loan and options that could fit you better.
I mean, imagine walking away with a thousand bucks a month in savings, every single month, a thousand dollars in extra cash.
It can happen.
The market is in your favor when it comes to home financing right now, but it may not not be that way for long.
I want you to call American Financing today.
American Financing at 800-906-2440.

10 seconds, station ID.
Now, not involving high-tech, have you been following following the Whitmer
kidnapping case?
Very strange, yeah.
Very strange?
Yes.
I think beyond very strange.
Beyond very strange.
That's exactly what I meant.
You're such a jerk.
Why are you calling me out the difference between very strange and beyond very strange?
Yes, I agree.
I mean, it's a crazy freaking case.
It is a crazy case that I don't think stands up.
No, it doesn't seem to stand up at all.
I mean, the entrapment arguments here seem significant and credible.
Seeing that everyone, when the FBI guy suggested that we go kidnap Whitmer and they didn't have any, you know, military guys on there, and he's like, oh, we can, I got an explosives guy.
I can train you all to do it.
And most, a lot of them quit the club when they were going down this road.
And still wound up getting arrested, some of them.
Right.
And so they
quit
and the FBI informant becomes the head guy of the ring.
So how isn't this just the FBI going, okay, here's what we're going to do?
That's not breaking up a ring of people who are trying to kidnap.
That's pretending that you're a bad guy.
And getting a couple of people to go along with you.
You bring in your other FBI buddies who have all of the expertise in this, and these guys are going along for the ride, and they're only doing it because you suggested it.
Yeah, it doesn't seem like these are guys that I would want to hang out with.
I mean, I think if someone were able to say, well, I have firework, I have, you know, experts in this field, and we can really get this kidnapping done, I don't think I would want to be involved in that.
That's why a lot of them quit.
This is, yeah, some of them did, some of them didn't.
Yes.
But the bottom line is, even the ones that stayed along, you can't have law enforcement bringing them along an entire plot and not it not be entrapment.
It is absolutely entrapment.
If you want to have an informant, you go in and you watch what they're doing, and before they do it, you're not involved.
Before they do it, you alert somebody, hey, they're doing this.
That's not what happened here.
This is the Glenbach program.
So let me tell you about AMAC.
It's almost a rite of passage to join join a benefits group when you climb up into your 50s.
Have you done it yet?
I hope you chose AMAC.
And here's why.
AMAC is the Association of Mature American Citizens.
And the reason why I'm a member of AMAC, and they're the way to go, is you're looking at all of the benefits, things like insurance and travel discounts, everything else.
But they are, more importantly, at least to me, is they push against the crazy left left and the constant efforts to legislate this country out of existence in Washington.
I know the founder,
he was a great guy.
It's run now by his children.
But before he died, this guy was a massive patriot and his children, he raised them right.
They started because we were going for universal health care.
And he saw the other guys that were representing seniors, they were like selling them out.

I want to give you an update and a warning on something, but I want to start actually a couple of places back.
The tennis player that pulled out of a match because the press made her uncomfortable and she didn't want to talk to the press.
Try about Naomi Osaka.
Yeah, okay.
Okay,
that's pretty weak.
Pretty weak.
And
is that the way we're raising our children to be now?
Where if you're uncomfortable, you don't have, you know, you can just quit and you don't have to do it.
You talked about anxiety being an issue
with that.
Of course, obviously that's very closely associated with performance in front of millions of people, right?
It's going to be an ongoing issue.
You pretty much have.
I remember the first speeches I gave and the first times I was on television.
I mean,
vomiting beforehand, so nervous, vomiting.
And you just have to go on.
You couldn't just, I couldn't start a TV show and go, oh, I can't go on.
I just can't go on because I'm so nervous.
Okay, well, then lost opportunity because there's a ton of people behind you and especially when it comes to the Olympics.
If you don't think you have a chance to do it or you think you're a risk of dropping out, you're letting your whole team down.
You're letting anybody down.
Now,
here's the story, the update, and the warning here.
Simone Biles has just pulled out of the Olympics.
She's probably one of the best gymnasts in the world, which is
the best.
My knowledge of gymnasts ends basically at Simone Biles, so I assume that she is the best.
Okay, yes.
So, she pulled out
because she said the stress was too high for her.
Yes, she said it was very stressful and that
she was having mental health issues.
Okay, so here is the warning.
That's the update.
Here's the warning.
Simone Biles was one of the girls that was
raped by that doctor.
And it was with this team
as well it happened
and so she might be going through all kinds of things that we can't even begin to understand
and I just would not dogpile
because you the left will turn this around
it whether it's this
fear or not they will turn it around and I have a feeling with her it probably is something she's gone through hell yeah this probably is the problem.
Really tragic circumstances.
And you have to imagine it's very difficult.
I mean, look, it's tough because this is going to be an ongoing issue.
And as you point out, there are people who
would die to get onto the Olympic team.
So it's tough to go there and then pull out.
But on the other hand, she's dealt with so much that I
just don't want to.
I mean,
raising kids now is really difficult.
I called Michelle Easton.
I wanted her to get on.
She's written a book called How to Raise a Conservative Daughter.
And
welcome, Michelle.
Are you on the phone?
I am.
Thank you so much.
You bet.
So I wanted to get you on because
we need our children to be strong.
I mean, this is really not, I'm not talking about Simone Biles, but, you know, when our kids just can't handle things because they've been coddled their whole life, that's a real problem.
And they don't know they don't know what work ethics are.
I mean,
you know, and then they move out and they become like a flaming feminist or liberal.
And you don't, you're like, wait, what happened to everything I taught you?
That's right.
That's why I wrote this book.
And it's so great to have a chance to talk with you and your audience about it.
I've been working with young women for 28 years.
I founded this Center for Conservative Women.
And I noticed over the years, the girls that I'm working with they're in college most of them they're smart they're strong they're gracious they're articulate and there were things over their upbringing that happened that they did that they had in common meanwhile so many parents are worried about this many of the people who support my work it's because they've been disappointed perhaps with how their daughters turned out so I wrote this book as a guide to help them
in the old days when I was growing up and I'm older than you I think if your family was conservative and you took your girls to church or synagogue, you had a pretty good shot.
But it's not that way today.
It's not really a fair fight anymore with social media, what goes on in the schools, the entertainment industry.
So the book is meant to be a practical, real-life guide for how parents can create strong, smart, conservative daughters.
So
how do you do it?
Well, the first chapter is Self-Worth Flows From God, Not Government.
Teaching young women that self-worth is what's important, not self-esteem.
Self-esteem is a feeling, oh, I feel good about myself.
Self-worth, it's probably the most important concept because it's knowing that she's uniquely made and unconditionally loved by God.
That's a cornerstone of her conservatism.
And that government can't be a substitute.
And then the next step on that is America.
And why are we exceptional?
Okay, hang on, hang on, hang on just a second.
So, when you say self-esteem,
it is what our kids, what I think our kids are seeing right now is if they're activists, then they get all kinds of rewards for that.
They get all kinds of feel-good accolades and they're doing something, but they're not really doing something.
There's a difference between
saying you're doing something or pretending you're doing something and then, you know, actually creating something, actually building something, doing something that comes from you, deep inside of you, not a pose.
And that's the difference, right?
Absolutely right.
Self-worth is a deep understanding of your value as a human being, and it places the value of this young woman outside of the reach of these toxic cultural forces.
The lessers try to replace this with self-esteem that says, oh, you look to other people for your validation.
And, oh, you're so fragile.
And, oh, you're a little princess.
And it's a very, very different different type of approach with young women.
But the cornerstone is belief in God and that your goodness comes from God.
And it's a difficult thing to do because we now have had, what, 30 years of everybody needs to get a trophy.
You don't want to hurt anybody's feelings.
And, you know, I think the reason why,
what was it?
Not America's Got Talent, but the one with Simon Cowell on it where they would,
yeah, American Idol, where they would step up and somebody needed to say to them, you have no talent.
I don't mean to be mean here, but you have no talent.
You know, go pursue something else.
Everybody in their life was telling them that they're special, they're great, even though they weren't.
Right, right.
And if you talk to teachers, a lot of teachers in government schools and private schools too, they are instructed to tell the students over and over how awesome they are.
My sister taught in Cape Cod and she said, Michelle, you know, they weren't really awesome.
But you tell them that over and over.
Then, when they do something incredible, the word means nothing.
Praising children for, you know, fear of hurting their feelings is a poor substitute for nurturing their true innate value as children of a loving God.
And that's something that parents who want their girls and their boys to grow up as conservatives have to think about and apply it in a very sensible way.
So, how do you know when you're raising, for instance, I have a and a son and daughter both in the house still.
And I'm so concerned about their work ethic.
And,
you know, thank God, Mike, my son is working this summer and everybody's like, oh my gosh, he's the greatest worker ever.
He's been joy.
And I'm like, really?
Because I can't get him to do anything around me.
How do you build that?
And
that's chapter four in how to raise a conservative Daughter.
You know, over the years, I've asked these girls I work with, you know, what would you do to raise a conservative daughter?
The most consistent trait they mention and that I've seen is that they've had jobs.
Once they're old enough, they have jobs and responsibilities that teach them the value of hard work.
This is contrasted with the leftist view that we should have economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work.
What?
What?
I mean, it's unthinkable.
Hard work is central to both
our children's development and to the whole American dream.
And getting your kids working.
I mean, your son's probably doing fine.
I don't know.
But getting them out of working.
I remember my first job.
Most people smile when they talk about their first job.
And you know what I remember most?
When I got the first paycheck, and there was such a huge
$1.25 minimum wage.
So my dad was a big lecturer at the dinner table.
Suddenly, what he was saying about government and taxes was no longer academic.
They took a big chunk.
I was a candy seller at a movie theater.
So that's another part of getting them out, getting a job, understanding a little about real economics.
So are you concerned?
Are you seeing a trend getting worse?
Is there any bright spots here on our daughters and our children?
Because
we're doing an experiment with them with social media and everything else.
This is the biggest experiment on human beings ever.
There's two bright spots to me.
One is that women are recognizing that their differences from men are their strengths.
And the other bright spot is the progress we've made on the issue of life when it comes to both aborting babies and at the end of life.
I think on those two issues, young people are turning.
On the differences,
I mean, the left is here in our local school board, Fairfax County, Virginia, 11 of the 12 board members raised their hand and voted to allow the boys to come in with the little girls in the bathroom.
Come on.
People don't like that.
Even young people get the idea of having their privacy when they're using the toilet.
I think they've gone overboard on the other side on that, and we're making progress on that.
And on life, the polls show that more and more young people believe that abortion is wrong, that you're killing a human being.
So those are two bright spots.
Thank you so much.
Your book available everywhere?
How do you get your book?
Wherever good books are sold, online, Books a Million, Mars and Noble.
All right.
Great.
Thank you so much, Michelle.
I appreciate it.
You know, it's strange.
Thank you.
Strange because my books are only sold where bad books are sold.
Yes.
So I don't know what that is.
Hey, I want to talk to you a little bit about gold and silver.
I'm a collector.
But I also think that it is a hedge against insanity.
I've told my
financial people, they're like, Glenn, you know, gold.
I don't know about gold.
I said, I'll stop buying gold.
I'll stop investing in this the minute the Starfield starts to roll back the other way.
Soon as we're not heading faster to the asylum,
I'm out.
I'm ready.
I'm ready to be rational.
But the rest of the world needs to be rational.
That's not happening.
I really would suggest that if you want to have a hedge against inflation, because it is coming, and you want to be safe in case things really melt down, you call Goldline today.
You don't have to buy anything, just get the information and do your own homework.
This week, Goldline is giving away free silver with their extremely popular $5 gold Indian coins.
With every qualifying order, you'll receive 10 brilliant uncirculated Silver Kennedy half-dollars at no additional cost.
It's a great special on an already low-cost item.
So if you're thinking about gold or silver, this is the perfect promotion for you.
They're standing by to take your call right now and talk to you and give you all the information you need.
It's 866 Goldline, 1-866-GoldLine, or goldline.com.

So we're hearing from police officers, the Capitol police officers, about what happened on January 6th.
And I'm going to say something unpopular here, but I'm not saying anything new to you.
I'm just reminding you.
When you saw that on television, I hope, I think we were all horrified by it.
What we saw on television were some pretty violent scenes, beating police officers.
you know, breaking down doors and windows and breaking into the Capitol.
I'm not talking about the people who were like the grandma that went around a barricade and, you know, walked through the Capitol.
Not that person.
The people, there were really bad people in.
And this hearing is not going to solve anything.
No.
Because Adam Schiff, for one, is on it.
If you took this seriously at all and actually wanted any answers about January 6th, the last person on earth you would put on the panel would be Adam Schiff.
Everyone knows how divisive he is.
Everyone knows that he's a complete liar.
No one respects him.
Correct.
And so you put him on there because all you want are partisan fireworks.
So that is
this.
I want to know
because I don't think Trump had anything to do with it.
I don't think this was a
Trump crowd per se.
There might have been some Trump people in there that were the really bad guys, but they were also not the Trump people that I would know or you would know.
Right.
You know, there are some, on all sides, there are crazy people
who just want violence.
And there were some bad people there.
That does not apply to the people who were watching Trump's speech and then went to their cars, which is essentially the picture the media.
Those, honestly, that went to the Capitol and some of them that went into the Capitol thought it was okay and weren't part of any of that.
Yeah.
And there's certainly big lines there, right?
Yeah, there are.
Big lines.
And the people, like to me,
what I want is is I would like to know answers about why the security was so bad.
I would like to know why it took so long for the National Guard to get out there.
I would like to know a lot of those types of details.
And I want the people who were bad, and there were some.
I want those people to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Me too.
And I'm not as concerned about...
the grandmother who walked three feet behind a barricade and then came back on the other side.
And there were a lot of those people.
So there has to to be a separation point.
I think part of the issue here is, number one, it's completely partisan.
Number two, the media has tried to make this out.
Literally, they've said it's the worst thing that's happened in the country since the Civil War.
So with the ridiculous nonsense the media has spewed about this, we tend to
forget that there were some bad things that happened there.
And some of those people do deserve to get since, you know, large punishments for what they did.
I mean, look, I I don't care, partisan, you can give me all the partisan crap you want.
You start hitting a police officer over the head with a flagpole and drag him downstairs, screw you.
I don't care who you are.
I agree.
I don't care what party you are, what's the president you are.
You start to break into the House of Representatives, and I mean, start to, you know, where they have to barricade the doors, I don't care.
I don't care what your cause is.
We all understand that.
It is important to keep it in perspective with some of the other things that have occurred in this country over the past year.
When you're burning entire cities to the ground, they don't want to look at that at all.
But you can both be horrified by that as well as some of the things that happened on January 6th.
We'll see you tomorrow.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
