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

This

is

the Glenback program.

They say it couldn't be done.

That I couldn't come up with 20 minutes of good news.

Certainly couldn't come up with an hour of good news.

They said it couldn't be done.

It's been done.

My goal was to set out today to bring you an hour of things that don't suck, which I thought if we could just find some neutral things, you know what I mean?

If we just find things like, hey, you know the lady that was in the car crash and had three of her limbs removed last night?

At least that ain't you.

You know, that kind of story.

I think I've actually found a bunch of really good news, and I'm going to share it with you in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck Program.

So Grace lives here in Texas, and for decades, she's dealt with extreme pain in her lower back and legs.

And when you live like that for a while, it gets to the point where you just are like, okay, I'm just going to live with it.

Thankfully, Grace isn't that type.

Over the years, she's tried a ton of different things to make the pain go away, but nothing worked.

Then came the day when Grace was listening to a very incredibly handsome, talented, smart,

almost a prophet of his day if he wasn't so damn good looking.

That's what he'd be known for.

Anyway, she was listening to me on the radio, and

she said,

you know, I've tried everything, but she decided to give it a try because this guy she listens to

is just infectious with his smile, with his grace,

his humility is one of the other things I'm sure she loves.

Anyway, she thought, what do I have to lose?

So

she took it for two straight weeks.

Her co-workers began coming up to her and telling her, What's different about you?

Turns out, when she wasn't in pain, it was pretty noticeable.

She not only noticed it, but so did everybody else.

Grace got her life back.

Relief Factor is not a drug developed by doctors, and 70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to buy more.

So this handsome and humble man is just saying, what do you have to lose?

Give it a shot.

ReliefFactor.com or call 800-500-8384, 800-500-8384.

It's relieffactor.com.

All right, Pat.

Now, remember,

the standard

is very, is very low.

I mean, we have a very low bar.

So would I say this was an hour, a power hour of good news, you know, back in 2000?

No.

2010?

No.

2016?

Absolutely not.

Today,

this is a power hour of great news, America.

So let's go to the first one.

When I say Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, what do you think?

Liberal court,

progressives.

Yeah.

No judgment.

It's really anything but good news, right?

Yes.

Anything but good news.

All right.

Plans for the 3D printed self-assembled ghost guns

can now be posted online without U.S.

State Department approval.

This was decided by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.

They reinstated the Trump administration's order that permitted removal of the guns from the State Department's munitions list.

Now, I don't know.

I don't know about you, but

I don't like the fact that anybody can just make a gun online,

but you can't put technology back into a bottle.

You know,

you're not going to, by banning that, you're not doing anything.

You know,

the source, the number one source for guns that have been confiscated in California in the last, what was it, three years,

were 3D printed ghost guns.

Did you know that?

I didn't.

Yeah.

So who do you think is

printing those?

Good guys or bad guys?

This was happening while the ban was in place.

Jeez.

So it does absolutely nothing.

It does nothing.

And I can't believe

that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals actually made that.

Now, this is

the good news part part of the story, though, right?

The Ninth Circuit Court feels the work that Donald Trump did replacing the justices who left that court with justices who will make good decisions.

Right.

And I'm not saying this is a clean-cut, good decision.

I mean, ghost guns are bad.

You know what I mean?

It makes all of our laws, all of the everything, you know, where you have to be a responsible citizen bad.

However, however, this is a correct reading of of shall not be infringed.

No question.

So I think that's really good news.

Now, next piece.

Supreme Court made a decision to take up a New York gun case.

This could be really bad news if they go the other way.

However,

the case is giving momentum now to

the idea that you can carry your gun

if you have a gun permit in one state, you can carry it across state lines to the other state.

The court, this is the first gun case since I think the Heller case,

and it's been 12 years.

They said it's going to,

the challenge is a New York law that allows residents to carry a concealed handgun only after proving a special need.

This is what happens in New York, York, most people don't have any idea.

Do you remember when we did a, what was it, an 18-month

journey to get a gun permit?

Oh, yeah.

Do you remember that?

It's in one of our books.

I can't remember, Stu would remember

which book, but Kevin, who used to work for me in New York,

we were writing a book.

We said

the paperwork, the way to get a gun in New York is impossible.

And I think all he could get was a shotgun for his apartment.

This wasn't a handgun.

He had, it took him a year and a half to be able to buy a gun.

A year and a half.

I was turned down for a gun permit in New York, even though others have guns in New York.

I couldn't get one.

I don't know why.

They said I didn't have special need.

Are you out of your mind?

I mean, I had all kinds of protection on me all the time because of the threats on my life.

Anyway, they say that

this is basically making it so nobody can get a gun in New York except the bad guys.

Second Amendment rights supporters say that this is going to open things up.

If it goes the right way,

this will open things up.

So the good news here, I think, on guns is it seems to be going the other way.

State after state is strengthening their gun laws.

They are strengthening, and when I say that, they're strengthening their gun freedom laws, and they are all preparing for an absolute assault on

guns, which I think is fantastic news.

And over the last, what, 12 years or so, John Roberts has squashed every attempt to hear

a gun case in the Supreme Court, but he didn't this time.

So people think that maybe he's being more heavily influenced by the new so-called conservatives that are on the court.

Again,

a win for Donald Trump.

Yep.

A win for America.

Yep.

Thank you, Donald Trump, for this.

Okay, next one.

White farmers.

You know, I live part-time in a farming community up north, and it's a town of 500 people.

They're all farmers, or most of them are farmers.

And it's just a different way of life, a totally different way of life.

It's

honestly, from somebody who lives in the city, it's almost as close as I could ever get to being Amish.

And there are times I'm like,

how far away from a Walmart am I?

For the love of Pete, what am I?

Amish?

But it is a tight-knit community and really kind.

It's a kind group of people.

The first bad word I have ever...

Do you know Rich and Sue,

Pat?

Have you met them yet up at the ranch?

Yes.

Okay.

It's been a while.

Yeah, really good, rock solid people, you know.

And I never hear them say a bad word about anybody.

You know, it's a little like your wife, you know.

Oh, bless her heart.

Look how cute she is.

She's so nice.

Never says a bad word about anybody, at least in public,

that I know of.

Really, really sweet and kind.

The first thing I have heard from that was not an unkind word, but

a strong statement was,

this

will cause problems and pit farmers against farmers.

This is racist and can't stand.

And what he was talking about was the government loan forgiveness for farmers.

I don't know if you followed this,

but you can get loan forgiveness if you're a rancher or a farmer that is black, American Indian, Hispanic, Alaskan Native,

Asian American, or Pacific Islander.

If you're white, don't apply.

That is not America.

That can't happen.

Well, a group of Midwestern farmers have gotten together and they are suing the federal government because white farmers are not eligible.

And they're saying my constitutional rights are being violated which they are

we plaintiffs are or sir sorry plaintiffs eligible for loan forgiveness benefit

they would have the opportunity to make additional investments in their property expand their farms purchase equipment and supplies and otherwise support their families and local communities says the lawsuit because plaintiffs are ineligible to even apply for the program solely due to their race they have been denied the equal protection of the law and therefore suffered harm the u.s listen to this This is a response from the Biden administration.

The U.S.

Department of Agriculture issued a statement saying it was reviewing the lawsuit with the U.S.

Department of Justice.

Oh, I feel better now.

But that the USDA plans to continue to offer loan forgiveness to socially disadvantaged farmers.

So, what they're saying is: everyone who's a minority is socially disadvantaged.

Everybody who's white and a farmer is not.

I have news for you.

Every farmer is socially socially disadvantaged in today's world.

Every farmer is.

Now, here's the thing,

and

I think this is good news in a world where we were having a conversation of common sense and the courts could do a great deal of good here.

They're saying that for a long time,

you know, black farmers and farmers, minority farmers were not getting loans for their farms,

and white people were getting all the loans.

I don't know if that's true, but let's just say it was.

If that was true, that's a separate case.

That is something that we would all unite on and say, let's solve that.

That's wrong.

The story is really

well written.

Less than 2% of the direct loans from the Trump administration went to black farmers.

Okay, well, what is the percentage of black farmers?

I mean, is it 2% of all farmers?

Is it 5%?

Is it 90%?

What is it?

I mean, that would help if we knew what the percentage of black farmers is.

All right, so they're saying that

Donald Trump and for a long time this has been happening, yada, yada, yada.

Well, fine.

Then let's get rid of that.

Let's correct that.

But you can't correct things by becoming racist yourself.

You're saying that this is racist.

They wouldn't give any of these black farmers just based on their race any kind of loan.

Well, let's fix that by making sure that people who are white based on their race can't get a loan.

That makes no sense whatsoever.

And what they will say is, we have limited resources.

Since when?

Since when?

So I think this is another sign, and I've got a couple of stories here where people are really pushing back.

Next, I'm going to go to the police, and then we'll go to the schools.

But this is a good sign people are not taking it, and they're not rising up in anger with guns.

We're not going and looting a Walmart or a Target store.

What we're doing is we're going to the court system and saying, this is wrong, this is racism, and this has to stop.

Good news, power hour.

We'll continue in a second.

Give me 60 seconds.

Ready or not, here comes the lawn mowing season.

Your yard's going to start growing like,

well, a weed.

And kind of, anyway,

get on top of the best lawn mower available today and cut your lawn in about half the time.

It's a hustler turf zero turn mower.

It's fast, it's sleek, it's built like a tank.

They are most famous Hustler for industrial settings.

So people who have, you know,

acres and acres and acres and acres and acres, you know, football fields, baseball diamonds,

the center of the highway.

This is who Hustler has made lawnmowers for, the industry.

So they were built and designed to be used eight hours a day, every single day.

You're not going to have a problem with this lawnmower.

It's not going to break.

It's not going to break down because you're using it, what, two hours a week?

And it hasn't even started.

Hustler is the best zero-turn lawnmower on the market because they invented it, they perfected it, and it has always been made for really heavy-duty use.

Now you can get it in a size made for you.

I want you to test drive.

Go and, you know, lawn boy or whoever is making the best lawnmower.

Go to Home Depot and drive it.

Look at it.

Then do yourself a favor and find a hustler dealer near you and test drive a hustler.

You'll find them at hustlerturf.com, hustlerturf.com, dollar for dollar, pound for pound.

There is no better lawnmower out there.

It's hustlerturf.com.

10 seconds station ID.

All right, so let me talk about Ashley Babbitt.

Do you remember who Ashley Babbitt is, Pat?

Oh, yeah.

The woman who was shot at the Capitol building.

Okay, so explain what happened to her as you remember.

She was about to climb through the door that had been broken,

and one of the Capitol police officers shot her in the neck.

And she shot backwards.

Correct.

Did he see her?

Did he see her?

Oh, yeah.

That's my recollection.

Pointing right at her.

Because it was my recollection he shot through the door.

But maybe he did see her breaking through.

I thought he saw her.

Yeah, I thought he did.

All right, so this is a really dicey one because I don't want to do anything that is supportive of the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

It was not the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.

No.

In fact, it wasn't the worst attack on our democracy since summer.

But

it was bad.

It was really bad.

I want nothing to do with it.

However,

her family is now coming out, and they are

filing a civil lawsuit against the officer who killed her.

They're looking for $10 million right now.

They're not charging the officer with anything.

The DOJ said they're not going to charge him for anything.

But

the family says the actual evidence is this: the officer shot an unarmed woman who was not an immediate threat to him or any member of Congress.

That's inconsistent with any claim of self-defense or the defense of others, period.

So, this is going to be a tough one because, A, it was January 6th.

You're breaking into the Capitol.

You're breaking in.

I would support somebody who had this exact same situation at their house.

Let's say you were inside your house and you had BLM people surrounding your house and they were trying to break in and you shot them through the door.

I would say, congratulations,

collect $200,

you know, and

here's Park Place.

You know, I mean,

there should be no penalty for defending your home.

The Capitol.

is the home of our republic, if you will.

And they were breaking in, violently breaking in, not necessarily her, but she was right there in front, and she was trying to climb through the broken door.

I don't have a problem with the officers shooting her.

I don't like it, but I didn't like what she was doing either.

And, you know, while the officer wasn't fearing for his life, he didn't know she didn't have, others had guns, and if she went through and got through, others would follow.

Where do you stand on this, Pat?

It's tough.

It's really hard.

I go back and forth on it.

At the time, I thought it was excessive that she was shot.

I did too.

I did too.

The more we found out about the rioting,

the less sympathetic I was to anybody who was in there.

But I don't think she needed to be shot.

It's a really, it's a tough one.

It was so tragic.

Because she wasn't really, I mean, other than

trying to get through the door, I don't think she would have perpetrated any violence.

Right.

But I'm glad this is going to court because I am so tired of people not pushing back.

You know what I mean?

Just accepting, okay, well, that's what it is.

I'm not saying that they should win.

I don't know.

I, exactly like Pat, felt that it was excessive at the beginning, but I want to be consistent as well and say, I wasn't on the other side of the door.

Yeah.

I don't know what the officer was thinking.

And, you know, as we always say, you don't want to be shot.

Don't do that.

Right.

That's right.

And that's one of those things you don't do.

So, you know, I'll be interested in this.

The reason why I put this in a good news category is because it shows people are just not sheep and they're not going to take it.

You know, this isn't about taking of the capital.

This is about the taking of someone's life and challenging the narrative.

Was that justified?

I think it was, but I'd like a jury to hear it.

I'd like to hear the whole case.

After all, we know what happened to Officer Syknick was not true.

This is the Glenbach program.

All right.

So I was thinking about creating my own system of money by gathering up every computer chip I could find and then selling them online.

Yeah, I call it cryptocurrency.

Holy cow, who writes this stuff.

I waited too late to get into the chip business, and now

if something goes wrong with my car, I'm in real trouble.

You're in real trouble.

Ford is in real trouble.

Ford said that they're going to have a hard time producing all of the cars and trucks they need for this next quarter because chips are out.

Do you have any idea?

I mean, chips have cost me $3,000 for a chip in my car.

$3,000.

Thank goodness I had CarShield because they covered it.

By the way, our Friday exclusive today on Blaze TV for Blaze subscribers only, commercial-free interview with Lil with Lee Schuland.

This is a woman that survived the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution in Mao's China.

She was a kid and

her and her whole family were marked as a, I'm quoting, black family.

There were black families and red families.

Red family, you were with Mao and nothing, you know, everything was okay.

If you were marked a black family, you were disloyal and you had to go into re-education camps, many of them were just brutally tortured and killed.

Well, her father was jailed.

Her mother was beaten by Red Family neighbors, not the government, neighbors.

See, that's how you got to be

a Red Family and in good standing.

You became the police.

You just took care of it yourself for social justice.

She warns America: I've seen this movie before.

All right, some more good news.

This one's coming from Chicago.

The mother of a 13-year-old in Chicago says she, quote, cannot praise the two police officers who rushed her son to the hospital enough after he was wounded in a drive-by shooting this week.

Now, you'll notice that this story is not about the drive-by shooting or the number of

shootings and deaths in Chicago.

No,

this is news because here's a mom praising the cops.

Quote, I'm highly grateful for you guys.

Thank you.

It was a wonderful job, she said during a press conference.

She says that they saved

her son's life because

they took him into into the hospital in the patrol car instead of waiting for an ambulance, which, you know, can you imagine if he would have died and it would have been a hostile police family?

I bet they would have charged them with something because they should have waited for the ambulance.

She said

that

Julius Gibbons was in the back of the squad car.

He was one of the officers.

And

he said he was in and out of, the son was in and out of consciousness.

They were trying to keep him alive and keep him up.

He was shot in the back and the stomach.

The doctor said that he's going to have long-term injuries,

but he's going to live.

She also said in the press conference, this violence has got to stop.

These kids don't deserve it.

They're babies laying in these hospital beds.

Nobody is talking about the violence in Chicago.

Perhaps conservatives should.

If we want to talk about real violence and the number of gun deaths, let's talk about Chicago.

Let's talk about New York.

Let's talk about places in these inner cities where black families are trapped and they have no way to protect themselves.

And many of them are afraid of their own, you know, children's friends.

Something has to change here.

All right, coming up in the hour number three, I have the guy who is really kind of one of

the stars of this movement.

So we're going to go into this story a little later, but I wanted to share this good news.

What's happening now in the country, and we told you that critical race theory is a poison, and we told you that it is in your school.

I don't care where you live.

It's in your school.

Well, in a wealthy suburb of Dallas, here it's just down the street from where I live, a town called Southlake.

Southlake

has exploded.

First, it exploded because it was racist.

It was so racist.

These kids were singing a rap song, and they were using really bad language in that rap song.

So instead of saying,

you know, hey, parents, where are you?

Why are your kids listening to this rap song?

Or, hey, rappers,

let's not use that language.

You know,

we believe in freedom of speech, and I believe in freedom of choice.

If that's what you think is okay, I think you're wrong, but you have a right to do it.

Instead, it was made to look like all these kids in South Lake, Texas are racist.

And so they

did a deep dive into microaggressions, bullying, and racially charged incidents that happen three times per month, they say.

Okay, if they happen three times a month,

this district has 8,500 kids, that means 0.3%

of the students every year come into a problem.

0.3%.

That is not systematic racist.

Do you know what that is?

Stupid kids being stupid and mean to each other.

So

they rushed into a cultural competence plan,

and what they did was unbelievable.

You'll hear about it coming up in hour number three, and you'll meet the guy who's really part of these parents that are so brave standing up against it.

But Pat, do you know who was leading this charge?

I didn't until you mentioned it off the air.

I had no idea.

It's pretty amazing.

So you know who these people are, at least one of these people.

I don't know.

I had no idea.

Russell Maryland

and Robin Cornish, a widow of another Dallas Cowboys player.

Russell Maryland, big time

football great, NFL football great.

Yeah, really good.

Okay, so they both have kids in the district,

and they have been all over MSNBC and

everything else about how Southlake harbors all of these racists.

Man.

Oh my gosh.

Southlake

is

really,

I think, in a way, the product of Gateway Church.

Would you agree with this, Pat?

The people who are in Southlake, that church has such a massive influence on Southlake.

And the pastor is

really great.

The people at the church are really, really great people.

I love them.

And I've attended several of their services.

I mean, they're just, they're great.

And Southlake just has this really good community spirit

and just a different, I mean, I was at a car deal detail shop the other day.

And I'm talking to this guy, and he's got a big beard, and, you know, he's tatted up.

And he was like, you know, I was talking to a friend of mine at church the other day.

And we were talking, and he's like, you know,

I just love the lord so much and you're like what

where am i where am i well the answer is you're in texas and it's a good thing south lake there there are racist places in the south and there i'm sure there are racist places here in texas south lake isn't one of them and to show you how non-systematic racist this school system is Can you talk about the disparity between

what blacks and whites do in that school district?

It's shocking, Glenn.

It is shocking.

Get ready to throw up a little bit in your mouth because

it's just that bad.

There is no racial performance gap.

Can you believe it?

I'm sorry, what?

There is.

There is.

That's how racist this place is.

Racist this place is.

There is no

racial performance gap.

Do you know how rare that is in the United States or anywhere in the world?

Well, hang on, hang on just a second.

Okay.

That only shows you how racist Southlake is because they have bullied blacks into buying into the white mentality that this is a meritocracy.

Yeah.

That

doing well actually helps you in the long run.

Right.

Right.

Yeah, they bought it.

That's how bad things are.

Okay, so here's what happened.

The parents found out about all of the stuff that was going on, this wild overreaction, and they have gone crazy.

There's an election, two school board members are probably going to lose their seat.

There's all kinds of parental pressure and community pressure on the schools to stop all of this cultural,

critical race theory.

They found out that in 2019,

the administrators were given a preview of the kind of instruction they'd be expected to oversee and carry out under a cultural competency regime.

That's what the city wanted to do.

They were like, you know what, let's just do cultural competency, you know, and make sure everybody is competent, you know, in the culture.

What?

Teachers and administrators who choose to treat students, parents, and colleagues equally, regardless of their skin color or ethnicity, are accused of cultural blindness.

Wait, what?

A state in which differences are ignored

and one proceeds as differences don't exist, white privilege is there.

And

white privilege is able to navigate daily life in the American culture without having to think about race.

So if Southlake treated you exactly the same,

you had a problem.

Administrators occurred to construct white identity, discussing what it does it means to you to be white and whiteness, as well as naming some characteristics characteristics of white culture?

Do you remember when Katie Couric said, I said, I just think that Barack Obama has a deep-seated problem

with

the white culture.

Yes.

Do you remember that?

Yeah.

That was the quote.

Yes.

Okay.

I think he is a racist.

No, that's not exactly right.

I think he just has a deep-seated

hatred for the white culture.

I was talking about critical race theory, but I didn't know it at the time.

Listen to this.

Administrators are encouraged to construct naming characteristics of white culture.

And I remember Katie Curry going, what was white culture?

What is white culture?

What do you mean by that?

What is white culture?

I don't know, Katie.

Why don't you ask these people what white culture is?

Seems to me I was right, you dim bulb.

I'm sorry, it's supposed to be good news.

Anyway, there's more on this.

We're going to get into it next hour, but I want you to know people are standing up and it is not only there.

I will give you another story.

The Ohio legislature has approved a ban on teachers indoctrinating students with critical race theory in school and the governor just signed it into law.

One more thing I want you to do.

So, Pat, we're going to continue our good news into the next hour.

Standby for that.

But

in the Florida Keys, they're doing an experiment.

And they're wiping out all mosquitoes.

They're releasing 500 million gene-hacked mosquitoes.

So they're all male.

And they have hacked the genes, so they pass something on to the female.

And when the female reproduces,

if it's a female, they're the only ones that bite.

If it's a female, they die out.

If this works, That is genocide.

That's mosquito genocide.

And I hate mosquitoes.

I don't want to live around mosquitoes.

I hate them.

But I think there's probably some purpose for mosquitoes.

When has it been okay?

We can't touch the rainforest because some unknown animal or some unknown plant that we don't even know is being destroyed and we're making them extinct.

But we don't have a problem making mosquitoes extinct.

Does that sound smart to you?

That's another hard one because, yeah, I want mosquitoes to go away.

This would only kill.

This would only kill something like 2% of all mosquitoes, though.

This doesn't do very much, which is why some of the residents are pissed.

Go ahead.

A lot of the residents are mad because they're releasing half a billion.

They're not even sure what's going to happen here.

And

even if it's completely successful, it only wipes out 2%.

Yeah, but isn't that because it's only a certain kind of mosquito?

The idea is to be able to do this with all mosquitoes.

And I'm for the ratification of mosquitoes, but does somebody know what they do besides bite people?

The Glenback Program.

Hello, America.

It's Friday.

Well, I set out last night to put together a show that would have some good news in it.

And I thought, you know, if I could just find,

you know, a story of somebody who died in a fiery plane crash with all of their children, I'll count that as a good one because I could say, at least that wasn't you on the plane.

But I actually found some good news.

And not only did I find an hour's worth,

I still have more.

Yeah, it's Friday.

Let's celebrate some things that are going right in the nation.

We begin in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck Program.

So Patricia lives in Michigan, and at one time she was in constant pain in her knees and her hips.

She's now in her 70s, and she thought, you know, this is what happens when you turn 70.

Oh, I know, don't say that, Patricia.

It was really uncomfortable.

She had difficulty getting in and out of chairs and her bed.

One day, she heard me talking about Relief Factor on the radio and that was the day that Patricia decided, you know what?

I'm not taking the pain anymore.

She had tried everything.

This was the day that she tried one more thing.

She didn't know if the relief factor stuff, as she said, would work, but she was tired of doing nothing about it.

So she ordered the three-week quick start.

Literally within a few days of starting to take it, she realized her pain was fading away and her mobility was returning.

Patricia, I am so glad you got your life back.

Now, what are you going to do?

Relief Factor.

It's not a drug developed by doctors.

70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to buy more.

That's why they offer the three-week trial period.

Within three weeks, you're pretty much going to know if it's going to make an impact with you at all.

So, are you part of the 70% that actually can have your life changed?

Try it.

ReliefFactor.com, 800-583-84, 800-500-8384.

It's relieffactor.com.

So I've been looking for good news.

And let me give you a couple of stories, and then we're going to get into some stuff with Joe Biden, which I think is fantastic.

First, the sex pistols.

You know, man, Johnny Rotten.

Johnny Rotten has come out and he says, America is on the verge of total and complete collapse.

Now, he's not a British citizen anymore.

This is his adopted country.

He was with the Sex Pistols from Great Britain and he became an American citizen.

He said colleges and university students are to blame.

He said these people aren't really genuinely disenfranchised at all.

They just view themselves as special.

It's selfishness, and in that respect, it's divisive and can only lead to trouble.

And I can't believe TV channels that give these lunatics the space.

This is Johnny Rotten saying this.

From the punk rock band The Sex Pistols.

This is my good news headline on this story.

Wow.

Rock and roll

still exists.

Where is the rock and roll attitude?

We're nothing but a bunch of wussies.

That's all we are.

We have turned all rockers are like,

I mean, everybody's disenfranchised, and I don't want to disenfranchise.

God forbid, I have an opinion.

What is rock and roll?

That's the whole attitude.

Anyway, he said, Where's this moral majority nonsense coming from when they're basically the ones doing all the wrong for being so bloody judgmental and vicious against anyone that doesn't go with their current popular opinion?

It's horribly, horribly spoiled children that are coming out of our colleges and universities with crap for brains.

He said he has no respect for President Joe Biden.

He just follows the latest woke fashion trend and is going to be the catalyst for the country's utter collapse.

He said, I love my country, which is America now.

He said, I love being on a tour bus.

I stare out the window.

I'm amazed and transfixed by the difference of scenery from one state to another.

The forest up north, the swamps down south, all of it is beautiful.

The people are very, very varied and very forgiving.

A new country, new open-mindedness, I suppose.

Like, are really not stuck down and nailed to the floor by class

warfare.

Here's a guy that knows it.

I mean, that's what he was rebelling against in Great Britain.

And,

I mean, a return of rock and roll.

A return of rock and roll.

It's interesting to look at it that way because really the establishment is the Biden stuff, right?

Oh, yeah.

It's the wokeness is the establishment now, and he's fighting against that.

I remember, do you remember when Muse?

I said someplace, somebody asked me, you know, what my favorite group was, this is 20 years ago, and I said, Muse.

And I said, their lyrics are fantastic because it was all about, you know, the United States of Eurasia and how

everybody had to be exactly the same and the corporations and the war machine, and all of it was just controlling people's minds, and the green was the new red.

It was brilliant, brilliant stuff.

Well, Rolling Stone magazine wrote about it, and Muse came out and said, we want nothing to do with him.

We don't like him.

And I'm like, okay, well, I don't really give a flying crap if you like me or not, but you're wrong.

And I wrote a letter to the editor.

I don't know if, I don't think Rolling Stone ever ever published it, but it was a response to Muse.

And it was like, dude, we're on the same side.

You don't like big government, and I don't like big government.

And here they are now.

Where's Muse now?

Where are the lyrics now?

I mean, it is so clear what is happening to the world.

And where's rock and roll?

You know, I knew when Van Morrison wrote a song against the COVID mask business and the lockdowns, and he asked Eric Clapton to record it.

And I think Clapton did.

I think it was released last December, maybe.

We should look this up.

But Van Morrison released a song himself that he wrote that was really anti-lockdown.

He got major hits for it all over in England.

He wrote another one, gave it to Eric Clapton.

Clapton was going to record it.

Maybe he did.

And everybody went crazy on Eric Clapton.

Yeah, and recently Mick Jagger went through the same thing.

He wrote anti-lockdown, anti-lockdown song.

And, I mean, people are pissed at him.

And so this is the first time since maybe 1950s with the jiggling hips of Elvis.

This is the first time

I have seen Mick Jagger

and Eric Clapton called dangerous rebels.

They're in their 70s, man.

They just haven't given up on rock and roll.

Okay, some other good news.

And I mean, I know this isn't really good news, but hear me out.

The International Space Station cameras have picked up a V-shaped UFO.

And

it was aired.

There's video out there.

An unknown flying object that is V-shaped had a close encounter with the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule and then with the International Space Station.

So I don't, I mean, I don't know what it is, but I'm rooting for aliens.

I mean, wouldn't it, honestly, wouldn't it be

almost a blessed relief if

we get up one day tomorrow and on CNN,

and you'd be like, Holy cow, man, we're taking over your employment society.

I'd be like, hey, let's listen to them.

Like, give them a chance.

Give them a chance.

It might turn out better.

It's a cookbook.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But how long do we have some semblance of normalcy before they cook us and eat us?

I'll take that.

When we come back, I want to talk a little bit about the real ratings

that uh that joe biden got apparently not only were the ratings not good uh which is actually a bad thing more people should watch this uh because it tells you everything you need to know but the reaction from the mainly democratic viewers

not good

We'll get into that here in just 60 seconds.

Standby.

First, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the clock is ticking on the American economy.

We are headed into a boom.

And we're headed for inflation.

We're headed for all kinds of things.

And then I think we're going to have what's called a melt-up.

It's going to go up and then come crashing down.

If you're thinking about buying or selling a home right now or both,

you may be literally getting it

getting in under the wire on this one.

It's going to become more and more difficult.

And the longer this stuff goes on with Biden and the new Green Deal, it's going to be harder to sell your house because has it been greenified?

Do you have all the government approved changes made to your house?

And it's just going to become a pain in the ass.

And believe me, it is coming.

So if you're looking to sell a house or buy a house, now may be the right time to do it.

Please, if you're buying a house, don't buy too much of a house.

Don't, because we always do this.

I do that.

Everybody does this.

Yeah, I know, but it's a good year and next year is going to be great.

You don't know what next year is going to hold.

So go to RealEstateAgentsitrust.com.

10 seconds, station ID.

So the approval rating of Barack Obama when he first gave his first speech to Congress was 68%.

George Bush gave his first speech, it was 66%.

When Donald Trump gave it,

it was, I think, 60 or 61%.

What was Joe Biden?

In an incredibly new low,

he got a score of 51%.

Of those who watched it, largely Democrats, 51%

approved of Biden's comments.

Now, everybody in corporate media was like, oh, now very high marks, very positive reaction.

No, it's not actually.

It's 51%.

It's a historic low

by at least 10 points.

So,

what are you saying?

Oh, they loved it.

No, they didn't.

They liked Trump better.

What are you going to do about that?

People said 60% said Biden made an appropriate effort to reach Republicans.

That's his Democratic thinking for you.

Yeah.

What?

What did he, how did he reach out?

You know what?

He reached out.

He said, look, I want to hear your ideas, but we can't wait.

So let's just pass the things we all agreed on.

Pass the Dreamers Act.

Open up the borders.

I mean, it was all stuff that we were like,

we don't agree on that.

Yeah, there's no, that's not one of the things we agree on.

And they are convinced.

No, I think actually Donald Trump believed his own press.

I think Donald Trump would say things and he'd be like, we all agree on that.

And I think he actually would believe those things.

You know what I mean?

I I think he would convince himself that those things were true, and he believed it.

And so you had to look at him differently in that.

I don't think Joe Biden believes any of this stuff.

He knows better than that to think that, oh, come on, Republicans, one of the things he said we can unite on is

the assault weapons ban.

No, we can't unite on that.

Yeah, he has said that multiple times.

There's no way the right agrees with that.

Right.

Right.

So that's the truth on the speech, and

it's massively down from Trump's early ratings.

He's not doing well.

He's not doing well.

And in more ways than one, do we have

the situation shows yesterday that he's not doing real well?

He was getting done with his speech, and then he started looking around for his mask, which he, of course, always has right away because it's second nature for him.

He's always wearing his mask.

But here's what happened.

Okay, so there's the exit music for him, and his people start coming up to help him out, help him off the stage.

And he's looking all over the place.

Looking through his notes, looking at the podium, looking underneath the podium.

Where's my mask?

You can hear him.

Yeah, he's asking, where's my mask?

I have to put my mask on to get my pudding.

And then Jill looking through the books.

Yeah, she's looking

in trouble.

Yeah.

He'll be in trouble.

Again, who are you getting in trouble with?

You're the president.

So then he finally finds his mask.

It's in his butt.

He pulls it out of his butt.

It's in his back pocket.

Actually, it is in his pocket.

But he pulls it out of his butt.

There's my butt mask.

Oh, there it is.

Here it is.

He'll pull it out of his butt.

You know what?

I shan't say that it wasn't in his butt.

It may have been there.

I think it was.

It may have been there.

I think he reached behind him and pulled it out.

So,

what do we

take from that?

So, yesterday, not really a good day for him.

He was in Georgia and he was giving a speech.

And this is in Duluth, Georgia.

And this is an exact quote.

He's talking about all the reforms he's making, and a heckler starts in.

And he says,

End detention now.

End detention now.

We voted for you, Joe.

End detention now.

Okay, end detention.

Honestly, yes, thank you.

I was gonna say, honestly, do you even know what that guy's talking about?

Are you talking about after school?

I have to stay after school.

Is that what we're talking about?

It could be.

It could be.

All right.

We are in such different planets.

End detention now.

Is that the border?

Is that school?

What is it?

Neither of those.

It's getting rid of prisons.

Wow.

Okay.

Don't detain anybody in a prison anymore.

Yeah, well, at least not.

They're starting with corporate prisons.

Okay.

So

non-government-run prisons.

Now, I just would like to point out,

why is it wrong to have a public-private prison

and right to have a public-private partnership with everything else?

Why are corporations only evil when it comes to the prison system?

Democrats, can you answer that?

I mean, my phone is wide open.

888-727-BECK.

I'll take your Democratic phone call right now.

Help me out.

Why is it okay to have public-private partnerships everywhere else, but not prisons?

What is it?

Still waiting for that phone call.

We'll continue because I may be waiting a while on that.

So anyway, Joe says,

I agree with you.

I'm working on it, man.

I love it when he says, man.

I do too.

I'm working with it.

I'm working on it, man.

Quote, give me another five days.

What?

There should be no private prisons.

And we're working to close all of them.

Oh, my God.

Now,

I'm I'm guessing the give me five days is hyperbole.

It's just like, give me a break.

I mean, you know, look at what we've accomplished.

Give me another five days and let me show you what I can change.

But we're working to close all of them.

Where are those prisoners going to go?

I just

can't go to

federal prisons or the government-run prisons.

Isn't that an overcrowding situation then?

I would think so.

Maybe we would just have to release those prisons or release all those prisoners.

I'm not sure.

How do you close all corporate prisons?

I don't know.

Give him another five days and he'll find out.

By the way, we found out, this is really good news.

We found out that Stacey Abrams is going to write

some more romance novels.

And she told the Wall Street Journal that she's writing another romance novel right now.

And I don't know about you, but when I just even think of Stacey Abrams, I mean, I just get all hot and sweaty.

It's

really, really?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Remember the Butterman, the guy, you know, what was that?

I can't believe it's not butter.

Yeah.

It was a Fabio.

Fabio.

Where the hell is Fabio now?

Where is he?

I wonder what he looks like.

Wouldn't it be great if he looked more fat and dumpy than you do?

That's just not possible.

I don't think that's even possible.

Oh, look it up.

Look him up.

I'm looking him up.

I'm looking it up.

Oh, man.

If he's like balding and fat and

looks like me today.

Love this.

No, based on these pictures,

no, our dreams did not come true.

You don't have to shatter it that quickly.

Yeah, he looks about the same as hell.

He was looking, Glenn.

Still looking.

He's made some pact with the devil.

He looks the same as he did 30 years ago.

It's just not right.

It's not right.

Yeah.

I mean, he did have the butter that did.

It wasn't butter, but it tasted like butter, or he might be the devil himself.

Anyway, she's writing some more romance novels, and

I'm not sure what she's writing, but

I just have a couple of things for her.

Maybe some titles that could

just

help her out.

How about Pride and Racial Prejudice?

Good.

Okay,

when Harry Met White Privilege.

Okay.

To all the cops I've loved.

I'm sorry.

Oh, to all the cops I've loathed before.

Or how Stella Got Her Vote Suppressed suppressed is another one that I think.

I mean, those are just free.

You could just work on those.

But if you really want to make it steamy,

maybe crazy rich Caucasians.

And oh, no, because you'd have to have good-looking Caucasians in that.

And I don't think that.

Well, but you would provide work for Caucasian actors because, you know, you couldn't have those played by non-Caucasians.

So that's a really good thing.

Really good thing.

Okay,

let me go into some

news on Rudy Giuliani next.

We have John Solomon, formerly of the Wall Street Journal, now with justthenews.com.

Rudy Giuliani, his apartment was raided.

What was that about?

Next.

This is the Glenback program.

All right.

Let me help you out on

your dog.

Andrea writes in.

She had experience with rough greens.

She said, our German shepherd has been suffering with skin allergies and infections.

She's been slowed way down because of it.

She has a bad hip.

I hate when that happens to these dogs.

We started using rough greens about two weeks ago.

The best word we can describe her now is happy.

She has more bounce in her steps.

She seems to be walking better.

Her coat is shinier as well.

Every day she looks forward to eating her food with rough greens on the the top.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Rough Greens.

Another satisfied regular customer.

Andrea, thank you so much for writing and telling me your experience.

You can now get a free bag of rough greens, just a little trial bag.

You just have to pay for the shipping, but they'll send it to you free.

And that way you can put it on your dog's food and see if they like it.

If they like it, then order a bag.

And you'll see month after month after month, you will see changes in your dog.

Dramatic changes, I think, at least in Uno.

833-Glenn33.

Order your bag now, 833-Glenn33 or roughgreens.com/slash bag.

Check out my show, Pac-Ray Unleashed, every day right before this show, 7 to 9 a.m.

Eastern or anywhere you get your podcast.

And here you can go.

This is the Glenbeck program.

I'm sorry, my ears.

Can you please return my feed?

Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.

We're We're glad you're with us today.

John Solomon is with us.

There is a disturbing report happening now with Rudy Giuliani, and John Solomon is part of it, but he is also former Wall Street journal reporter,

CEO, and editor-in-chief now of justthenews.com, which is a news site that you should check every single day.

Really good journalism being done there.

Rudy Giuliani had his apartment raided yesterday,

and

it's kind of disturbing what we're hearing is happening.

John, welcome.

Good to be with you, Glenn.

Thank you.

So tell us what happened yesterday and why.

As far as we could tell, and again,

I'm a part of the news in this, so it's an unusual position to be a reporter and also be part of the news.

The FBI on Wednesday raided Rudy Giuliani's apartment at about 6.30 in the morning.

They also raided the home, not really raid, but they showed up at at the home of a

Joe Djegenova and Victoria Tensing, who were personal lawyers for me on a book project.

And they secured communication devices that were requested under a grand jury subpoena and a search warrant.

And, you know, this has been a long-running saga, right?

There is a theory that Adam Schiff has put out into

the public that somehow Rudy Giuliani and Victoria Tensing and Joe Degenova were working for foreign forces to remove the ambassador of

the U.S.

ambassador to Ukraine, perhaps on behalf of Ukrainian officials.

I don't know the merits of the case, right?

I do know that I wrote the majority of the Joe Biden stories, and this ambassador,

Madam Ambassador Jovanovich, Marie Ivanovich,

was the woman that was at the helm at the embassy when Hunter Biden was doing all of his shenanigans with Burisma.

And I wrote, in the period of March until May,

the main stories that brought to light or reinvigorated the Hunter Biden, Burisma, Ukraine, China, money train.

And so

my name shows up in these search warrants in Sabine, as I'm told.

And again, I worked as a reporter.

I talked to many people.

Yes, Joe and Victoria were my lawyers who often did pre-libel work when I would submit a story to the Hill.

And Rudy Giuliani approached me about information.

I have said publicly I ended up not using what he gave me because it didn't match match my reporting.

And so I didn't use it, but he did offer me information.

I don't think I did anything but act like a reporter and many other reporters had the same contacts with the same people.

But for some reason, maybe because all of us were instrumental in highlighting Hunter Biden's problems, we now find ourselves entangled in this grand jury subpoena.

So, you know, some people say it's an enemies list.

I don't know.

I hope to think not, and I would like to give the benefit of the doubt to the U.S.

Attorney's Office that maybe they're looking at something, and when they look at the facts, they'll come to the right decision.

But as a reporter, it's very chilling when your name gets leaked as part of a grand jury subpoena.

Someone, obviously, wanted my name out there.

That's why they put it on the subpoena.

Adam Schiff wanted my name out there.

That's why he leaked my phone records.

And yet, in two and a half years, no one's found anything wrong.

And everything that people said about the Burisma story at the time, it's wrong, it's Russian disinformation.

It's all been validated.

So

I think this will go.

And Ivanovich,

the ambassador in Ukraine,

just from the reporting that we did,

she was not good.

She was not good.

And it would be great if she were gone, not on behalf of

the Ukrainian government, but just on behalf of the United States and its government and people.

It was not a good situation.

What do we know about her that we didn't know during impeachment?

She was the darling of the impeachment testimony, right?

She testified during impeachment that she really didn't know anything about Hunter Biden's Burisma thing except what she was briefed on before she became the ambassador and what she read in the newspaper.

I sued, and we turned up all of these documents.

She met with...

Burisma's lawyers.

She received a long briefing from Burisma's lawyers.

George Kent, the guy with the bow tie that made himself famous in the impeachment, he told her a bribe had been paid by Burisma why Hunter Biden was on the board, and she reported it to her boss, Victoria Newland.

None of that was in her testimony.

A lot of people think she was at least deceptive by omission, if not outright dishonest.

I know, because of the good work of Judicial Watch, that she ordered myself and Sean Hannity and many other famous people to have our social media illegally monitored by federal agents and federal employees.

The State Department cannot target Americans and use its intelligence resources.

We know know she did that wrong.

We know she had a dysfunctional relationship with the Ukrainian prosecutor whose job it was to carry out her corruption, anti-corruption agenda.

I think the body of history that we know about Maria Ivanovich today versus what we knew about two years ago is very different.

And I think, you know, unfortunately, most of the rest of the media got scared away from this story when Adam Schiff and the fake whistleblower and others started to make claims that aren't true.

For a while, the New York Times Times and ABC News were reporting what I was reporting, and then they all ran for cover.

If this happened 20 years ago, John,

to a reporter,

wouldn't all the reporters, everybody in the media, be rallying around you?

They sure would.

In fact, ironically, Glenn, 20 years ago this month, it did happen to this reporter.

I don't know if you remember this, but just before 9-11, when I was an associated press reporter, the Bush administration, actually Robert Mueller, we've heard a lot about him over the years.

He authorized a subpoena from my phone records trying to find out my sources on something.

And then a few months later, without a warrant, they intercepted my mail at the border.

They had to admit that that was an unlawful search and seizure.

And the media rallied around me.

Why?

Because it was George Bush's Justice Department going after me.

But when it's the Biden Justice Department, I haven't gotten a single call of support from a single journalist.

And all those reporters who were looking at Biden, you know, who dropped off it, but know there's a real story there, they've just gone silent because, you know what?

If they probably saw what happened to me, I got, you know, I have an impeccable reputation as journalism.

I worked very carefully to be fair to people my whole life,

regardless of political.

They destroyed my reputation.

They called me a Russian disinformation artist.

No one wants to go through that.

And I think they scared the rest of the media off.

And silence will be the greatest sin of omission that the industry pays on this particular issue.

They were silent when Adam Schiff took my phone records.

No one was outraged then, except for the Wall Street Journal op-ed pages.

Please count this as a

genuine call of support, but not from anybody with any kind of journalistic credibility.

But we're behind you, John.

It means a lot.

It is.

Yeah, it is really bad.

Now, tell me,

because Rudy Giuliani, his son, came out and said they left all of the information about Hunter Biden's laptop.

Is that

real or was that just a you know?

Yeah, Rudy Giuliani says he offered them a laptop because it met the description of the electronic devices that should be seized, and the agents told him they didn't want it.

That's what he said on Tucker Carlson last night.

Now, there could be a, I'll offer, because I always try to be fair and down the middle and these things.

Yep, yep.

They already have the Hunter Biden laptop, so having another copy of it might not be as important to the FBI.

They've had it.

We know that, so maybe it's not a big deal.

Here's something that I think is more shocking that Rudy Giuliani said that that I don't think people picked up on.

I've done the reporting this morning and I have confirmed this.

Rudy intimated and I have confirmed affirmatively that in November of 19, the Trump Justice Department, under the direction of Bill Barm,

authorized the secret, it's called clandestine seizure of Rudy Giuliani's law records,

as well as Victoria Tensing's law records.

Why is that so significant?

It's very rare to do clandestine seizures of data.

But

in the case of Rudy Giuliani, I believe it was their cloud.

It's all of his records in the cloud from his email and

all

that.

So when you say law records, could that include attorney-client privileged stuff?

It absolutely did because the government had to set up a team and self-determine, because they weren't asking Rudy,

what records were privileged and what weren't.

But think about

that's how far our surveillance state has gone.

And let's think about its significance from two things.

They've had all this stuff for two years.

They never brought charges.

They had access to everything, and now they're going to raid his home and get the same stuff a second time.

But here's a more important point.

At that very moment in November of 2019, when those clandestine or covert seizures were occurring, he was advising the president's impeachment strategy as Adam Schiff was conducting the impeachment trial.

Victoria Newland,

the U.S.

Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York, may very well have had access to some of Rudy Giuliani's strategy Ukraine.

And remember, it was the Ukraine issue that was at the Rudy Giuliani's role was the issue in the impeachment trial.

It's a very chilling thing.

Attorneys have privileges.

Journalists are supposed to have privileges.

It appears that the surveillance state of America, whether it's Adam Schiff's surveillance state with his subpoena for phone records, or the Justice Department, doesn't seem to regard the privileges of attorneys or the privileges of journalists as robustly as they did 10 or 20 or 30 years ago.

That is bone-chilling.

Bone-chilling.

I saw yesterday that the Justice Department just promoted the individual that

was instrumental in the FISA scandal.

And

I believe she's now overseeing the relationship between the people asking for warrants and the FISA request.

What is happening there?

Nobody, not only are they not getting punished, they're getting rewarded.

It's been the

dynamic all through the Russia scandal, right?

And Russia and Ukraine are inextricably intertwined.

People don't realize that the Russia story, in many respects, was designed to throw a light on Donald Trump, a diversionary tactic, so people wouldn't look at what Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and others were doing in Russia and Ukraine, because they all had relationships in both countries.

It was a piggy bank for Democrats, and they threw, you know, a diversionary tactic by accusing Trump of doing something he never did.

So Ukraine and Russia are going to forever be intertwined.

That said,

you look,

Peter Strzok gets fired for misconduct and he lands on all of these prestigious jobs.

Hunter Biden admits he does all these things wrong.

He's giving lectures on the media now at a prestigious university.

Tulane.

Yeah, to land just in the last few days.

The former deputy FBI director McCabe gets fired.

He's able to raise zillions of dollars on GoFundMe.

There's no consequences for bad conduct, at least on the left.

And then there seems to be extraordinary and maybe over-the-top penalties for people on the right.

You take a look at Mike Flynn and Andy McCabe.

They did the same thing.

If you believe the FBI, they lied to the FBI.

One goes through millions of dollars of law bills and a prosecution before he gets pardoned.

The other doesn't get even charged and under a Trump Justice Department.

So you just have to ask yourself whether this picture doesn't really affirm what Republicans have been saying.

There's a two-tier justice system.

John,

please reach out if you need anything

personally or professionally.

I and I know the audience is behind you as well.

Anything you need.

So, some parents here in Texas in the number one school district,

they had

said that it was systematic racism,

it was a horrible racist community, yada, yada, yada.

The Carroll School District gets together and they said, hey, we're going to have a

meeting on this and a training for all of the teachers.

Oh my gosh, the training was a nightmare.

If you treat parents, students, and colleagues equally, regardless of their skin color or ethnicity,

you are culturally blind.

and ignoring what's happening in our country.

Excuse me?

what it means to be white for you.

They were encouraged to think of themselves in terms of race, white fragility.

Yada, yada, yada.

It also warns, I love this, it warns against stereotyping, which happens when you generalize about a person while ignoring the presence of individual differences.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

What do you say?

But white fragility.

I mean,

they had to look through all of their teaching through through the lens of equity.

They had videos that the teachers had to watch from California on racism.

They claimed black and brown students needed extra resources because they have to work extra hard and do double the work just to succeed.

They also had an equity Rubick.

Things teachers should change about their professional practices.

You know, they need to make sure that the teachers are aware of their biases and privileges so they can prioritize equity.

Well, the parents said, Enough, enough, enough, enough.

One of the parents that was there is going to join us next.

This school, the parents are pushing back hard and winning.

And we're going to talk to one of those parents, an amazing guy, next.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Two school board trustees have been indicted on charges of violating Texas Open Meetings Act.

They were at the center of a fight over diversity and inclusion in the district.

This is a school district that is probably one of the best school systems in the nation.

It's definitely number one in Texas.

It's a phenomenal school district and a phenomenal community.

Its rate of

reports of racial attacks is 0.3.

0.3.

The scores, the test scores between white and black are no different in this school district.

They're doing things right.

Well, there's been charges of racism, and so critical race theory was

brought in.

The parents went crazy.

We're going to talk to one of the guys who is the eye of the storm in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck program.

I said, it's just incredible what's going on.

This is a good news story, by the way.

Let me tell you about RekTech.

I don't, you know, I want my grill

to work.

I would love a grill that would help me not burn everything I put on it.

It's, I mean, if you're coming over to my house and we're having steak, it's going to, you're going to go and you look at the steaks and be like, wow, that's great.

I'm like, yeah, I know, it's our own grass-fed cow, blah, blah, blah.

And then when it comes off the grill, it's horribly burned.

And you're like, well, I think it's raw in the middle.

It might even be a little cold in the middle.

So it'll all balance out.

Just put the flames out.

I like a grill to really take that problem away.

These grills, Rectex,

were designed by people who go to barbecue competitions, smoke competitions.

This grill can grill, it can smoke, it can even bake.

It's called a RekTech, and you will marvel at the high-tech and how well it is built.

Honestly, it's built like a 56 Buick.

It is just heavy, heavy steel.

It's made, designed here in America.

It's just great.

Smart technology, you won't find one better, especially for the price.

Look them up.

juan salivar is uh with us he's a retired colonel the united states army

uh and uh he is one of the people in South Lake who's been very outspoken about what was going on with critical race theory and is changing for the better what was happening in the school district.

He's going to walk us through what happened, why he and others got involved, and maybe even some of the details on the arrests that are happening here.

Juan, welcome to the program, sir.

How are you?

Hi, Mr.

Beck.

Thank you for having me.

It's an honor to be here.

Thank you.

It's an honor to talk to you.

I know your service record, and it's quite impressive.

So thank you.

So, Juan, tell me how this happened, what you first heard, how you got involved, and what people have been doing.

Yeah, sure.

There's a lot of people in this community that were involved before I was.

I wasn't really aware of what was going on until mid-summer of 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic, when I started to hear inklings of this program called the Cultural Competence Action Plan, CCAP for short.

So it was released in draft form in late summer, and I went through it with a fine-tooth comb because I was concerned about what it was going to do.

And I saw the seeds of critical race theory sprinkled throughout with terms like equity 135 times, diversity 104 times, inclusion 108 times, none of which were ever defined.

In fact, the term cultural competence was never defined.

What was defined in there was the term microaggressions, which put an emphasis on they could be verbal or nonverbal, intentional or unintentional, very much in the mind of the beholder, if you will,

targeting persons that are marginalized or underrepresented groups, never defining that either.

And so it was clear to me.

I read some of it.

It is so well written that it could include everything.

I mean, I was bowled over by the line, making eye contact or not making eye contact

could be racist.

Correct.

It's like, what?

Correct.

So you pretty much have everything covered here.

Pretty much.

And that was a big problem for me.

My child's young, but I don't want her to grow up in a system where they're constantly infiltrating the curriculum with this nonsense.

And it's really antithetical to the idea of human liberty and freedom and human flourishing, which is what education is supposed to be about.

So

South Lake, I don't know why you moved to South Lake, but if you have kids, probably

a good deal had to do with the school district.

It is a great town.

It's heavily influenced in a positive way by the people at Gateway Church.

So it's just a good, decent town.

The school is one of the best in the country, the best in Texas.

And

all of a sudden, they come in and they start making claims that South Lake

has deep-seated racism in its roots, and the school is racist.

And what they are teaching the teachers and having the teachers spew is

poison, poison for Southlake and for the kids.

Yes, sir.

Absolutely poison.

I will say that the vast majority of our teachers and principals are outstanding.

They're outstanding, not just educators, but human beings.

So I don't want to blame them.

They don't control the curriculum as it's written.

But I see this moving in and kind of getting its camel getting its nose under the tent.

And I thought, you know what?

I need to stand against this.

It's the right thing to do.

We don't need to divide our kids into oppressors and oppressed based on their immutable physical characteristics, the way God made them.

Okay, so what happened?

Everybody goes to the school board and start to speak up against it.

And what happens?

Well, it's what you would expect to happen from the left.

So as soon as people started to speak up, the proponents of CCAP immediately came back and accused our entire side of being racist.

And this is typical for the progressive, neo-Marxist, post-modern thought, wherein they don't consider that there's any possible factors other than racism for disagreement.

Well,

remember,

I just want to remind everybody that Juan is a guy that makes eye contact and sometimes doesn't make eye contact.

So you know right there how racist he is.

So they started throwing everybody

under the bus.

And then what?

Well, so then we started to do a lot of open records requests through the...

an organization called South Lake Families PAC, which is an association of like-minded individuals that want to make sure that we maintain parental authority in our schools and on our school board

as the government is supposed to be set up, authority delegated from the people to government at all echelons.

And what we found, one of the troubling things we found was that the administration had applied for a VOCA grant.

This is Victims of Crime Act, and what they were trying to do is criminalize the microaggressions, which we previously said could be anything, in order to get money.

Now, you know, Mr.

Beck, this is one of the most affluent communities in all of Texas.

We have a tradition of excellence in our school and in terms of academics, sports, every area you can think of, and we don't have any real discernible disparate impact among the demographic groups.

And yet, here we are, with some folks thinking it would be a good idea to take money meant for victims of actual crime, funnel it into this society for the purpose of criminalizing microaggressions.

That's obscene.

Obscene.

It is.

So

what happened with the

Carroll School trustees that have been now indicted of violating the Open Meetings Act?

Yes, sir.

So there were two trustees that were accused of violating the Texas Open Meetings Act, which basically says you can't have a walking quorum, you can't have meetings in secret, deliberations in secret.

And we believe they were deliberating to implement CCAP in secret.

And an investigation started in the wake of a lawsuit that was filed by one of the parents.

And this particular parent has gotten a lot of flack from the left about this lawsuit.

How dare you sue our schools?

But the truth of the matter is the school system deserved to be sued.

Yes.

And so the authorities started to investigate on a criminal basis and

had enough evidence to make two arrests.

We had two school board members that were arrested, I think, at their homes.

They paid $500 bond and were released.

And within 48 hours, we're back sitting in their seats at the next school board meeting.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my gosh.

So what's next?

How far on the fight on this are you?

And what's next?

We think, as a group, we think we've pretty well

defeated the imposition of the CCAP.

There are some people that still want to push its implementation.

What we're starting to see now

is

a revision of their words.

They're not talking CCAP anymore.

Now they're talking diversity, equity, and inclusion, or as I like to say, the diversity, inclusion, and equity religion, the die religion.

And they've taken to dropping the word equity suddenly because we have an election going on right now.

And the final day of voting is May 1st for local

South Lake City Council, Council Mayor and school board positions.

And so we're keeping an eye on that.

The one thing I would say is, and I think this is true across the board around the country,

the mainstream media has really become the center of gravity for the left's movement.

They use them to push their false narratives and prevent any kind of counter messaging.

They suppress us with that.

So I want to thank you specifically for having me on to talk about this because folks like you, Fox, the Federalists, are able to amplify our voice and get our ideas out there.

We are not scared of having a debate, having an open battle of ideas because we know our ideas are better.

But the left always wants to suppress our ideas because they want control.

They don't care about a battle of ideas, which is precisely the opposite of what we should be teaching our children in our schools.

Juan, I wanted to have you on for a couple of reasons.

One,

I've seen you speak, and you were amazing.

Two,

you guys are making a real difference.

I mean, you could change the makeup of the school board in this election and change

the whole route that Southlake was taking in the school district if you remain vigilant on it because they will just come back.

They'll morph and they'll come back.

But the other is, there are so many people that think

not happening in my community.

Southlake, the school system is fantastic.

It is not a racist community.

They have no racial problems to speak of

in the in the school district.

And it's riddled with this critical race theory now.

And it just came in overnight.

And I wanted people to understand this is happening in your community as well.

Yes, sir, absolutely.

And I think it's important for people to realize how the left operates.

So we see this in the younger grades.

My daughter is in K through four with something called social and emotional learning.

And you can look that up on the Internet, and you'll see that it's one of the latest fads to come out in education circles.

But the truth is, what it does is it prioritizes and emphasizes the primacy of emotion over thought.

And so it serves as a primer for the tactics of the left to impose these kind of critical race theory ideas in the later school years.

And so we have from the left, the main argument is, what about these 300 plus, depending on who you talk to, it's between 300 and 400 plus

testimonies of people who were quote unquote abused in Carol ISD.

But you'll note that none of them have ever been investigated.

There's no real evidence.

I'm not saying that discrimination doesn't happen at all.

I've been subjected to it over the course of my life, but I am saying that if it's really that big of a problem, every single instance should be investigated.

And just as it's not my

purview to deny someone's quote-unquote lived experience, neither is it my responsibility to affirm it without evidence.

Otherwise, you find yourself in a situation like we saw with the Kavanaugh hearings.

Believe all, insert demographic group.

Women, people of color,

individuals that have same-sex attraction, whatever you want to put in there, fill in the blank.

That is a recipe for breaking our country apart, and we have to stand against that.

One, you just retired from your military service,

a very honorable one.

And it looks like you're just not really retiring.

You're still doing the same thing.

Well, sir, I took an oath to defend, to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, on the plain of West Point when I was 18 years old.

And that didn't go away when I retired.

And I, you know, unlike some people, I took it upon myself to say, well, you know, if I'm going to support and defend the Constitution, I should darn well know what's in it.

And what you find is,

and I don't want to go too far afield here, but what you find is if you really look at it, what's in the Constitution is the codification of our natural rights.

These are the Enlightenment principles that our founders laid down on paper and said we have inherent rights that were given to us in a state of nature by God that are discernible by reason.

And we don't want to have a society where we solve our problems with violence.

We want to have a society where we solve our problems with debate.

Violence is the last, least preferable option, but we only go to that when we have to.

And so that's where we are right now.

It's time for parents everywhere.

to stand up against this, fight for what they know is right before it's too late.

Juan, thank you so much.

I don't mean to cheapen this whole thing, but you commanded the units in the First Army at Fort Knox.

Did you ever see the gold?

Did they let you go in?

No, sir.

I saw the building where the gold was housed.

The gold was built.

No, but you never went in.

All right.

All right.

Thank you so much.

And, you know, I live in one of the towns that adjoin South Lake, and you have my support in South Lake, anything that I can do.

And I hope someday that we'll get a chance to to meet each other.

Thank you so much, Juan.

Yes, sir.

If I could just say one last thing, parents interested in fighting back, go take a look at wiseguytalks.com, southlakefamiliespact.org, no left turn and no left turn in education, Texas.

You will find resources there to help you fight back.

You are not alone.

Thank you, sir.

God bless you.

Thank you so much.

God bless.

You know, it's amazing what is happening, and we've always known this.

We knew this about the Republicans first.

The Republicans,

generally speaking, act as though they hate the people who vote for them.

And I think some of them do.

I think the elites that have been in Congress for a long time just don't like the little people out there.

They're just so dumb and close-minded.

And

they hold us in contempt.

But you're now seeing this

at the local level.

And, you know,

power is intoxicating.

And I don't know if you feel this way, but power at the upper levels usually is just absolutely corrupting.

Very few people leave better people

than they were before they got into politics, especially at the upper level.

But I also think at the very local level as well, you know,

some of these people, especially like zoning committees and everything else, some of these people, not all of them, but some of them get on the, and they just get drunk with their own power.

And it is, it's terrifying when you see it at a local level because you're like, who the hell do you think you are?

I mean,

it's just, it's remarkable.

And you're seeing this now in counties.

You just, I don't know if you saw this in Montgomery County, the health department's

contempt for non-public schools.

They were

writing emails back and forth and because the request for public records

the

the the public health department was just like oh these these private schools they're just horrible with what they're doing and the Catholics yada yada yada I mean it is it's it's

beyond

opinion and into absolute contempt.

And it's getting dangerous because more and more of these people are getting absolute control.

We've been giving it to them for a long time, and now they're taking whatever remains.

And your community and your state is really all you have.

I mean, you have your family, then you have your community and county, and then state, and you've got to shore that up.

And honestly, if you're living in a place where you are alone,

I would suggest you move to some place where you're surrounded by like-minded people, if you can,

because we see the world in completely different ways now.

Two completely different ways.

And

it's going to be those who survive are going to be those who are surrounded by like-minded people that will help.

This

So I don't know what's worth more to you,

you know, your money or your identity, but I'll tell you, as somebody who's lost all their money and their

good name and trust of people because of my alcoholism,

identity and your good name,

that's really all you own.

And it's the most important thing you have.

And that's what's being taken, not just your money, but your identity.

Identity theft is real.

It's happening.

Nobody can stop all of it.

one company is the company that really kind of started this whole

category of business, and that is protecting your identity.

And it's LifeLock.

They've been in business forever.

They have a team that they know nobody can stop everything.

for Blaze subscribers only.

5 p.m.

only on Blazetv.com.

You'll find my Friday exclusive to be fascinating, I think.

Today, we are talking to a woman who lived through Mao and the cultural revolution.

And there were either red families or black families.

Red was with Mao, and black was against Mao.

And if you were a black family, then you could be beaten or killed by a red family, your neighbor,

for any reason at any time.

Well, this family went through beatings and indoctrination, and she lived to tell about it.

And she's going to give quite a warning to Americans.

She sees some trends that maybe might be a little troubling.

So we'll talk to her on the Friday exclusive.

Also on the podcast is

Bob Woodson.

He's one of my favorite people,

a new friend of mine that has been on the show before.

He is doing the 1776unites.com project.

This is to fight critical race theory and it is to fight all of the garbage that 1619 is doing.

And it is fantastic curriculum.

It is free.

All you have to do is go to 1776unites.com, download the curriculum.

It is something your school could use.

I'm going to use it with my family.

I mean, I learned a lot in this,

and David Barton and I have done a lot of work on history of

the black history of America.

I learned a lot from this.

You'll love the curriculum.

It will be available everywhere.

One of the spookiest stories I have read

the chicken shortage?

Is that the spookiest story you've read in a long time?

The chicken shortage.

Is that what you're talking about?

Chicken shortage?

Yeah.

Not up on the chicken shortage.

Well, in addition to the lumber, the paper products, the oxygen, microchips, pet food, new car shortage, we're also now in a critical shortage of chicken.

Huh.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Critical shortage of chicken.

Yes.

This is very frightening.

There's a massive chicken wing shortage that's brewing, but it's actually worse than that because it's not just the chicken wings, but chicken in general that's

going to be in really short supply.

Is that your commentary or is that what the story says?

No, the story actually says chicken in general is

going to be well, I don't think there could be a chicken wing shortage without a chicken shortage.

You know, if we have chickens, there's probably enough chicken wings to go around.

It's not like we're growing chicken wings in a petri dish.

When you put it like that, it does make the general chicken shortage sound kind of stupid.

It does.

It does.

It does.

But I'm telling you, this stuff is,

this is what I warned you about with COVID.

I said...

Don't worry about COVID.

We'll deal with it.

We'll have it.

It's not going to be as deadly as everybody says.

This was back in January of what, 2019 or 2020.

And I said, the thing you have to worry about is what it's going to do to the economy.

And we are seeing it right now.

You're going to have massive, massive inflation

and

a shortage of things.

I mean, I'm trying to get some concrete and I can't get concrete.

I mean, it is.

Wow.

It's crazy what is happening.

I mean, I I feel like I

honestly, I feel like I live in the former Soviet Union where you call for concrete and they're like, you call Monday between 7 and 7.15.

You say, I want this much concrete.

You call it 7.16.

You don't get in.

Wait until next Monday.

I'm not making that up.

That's really what's happening.

Wow.

They're

rationing concrete on a weekly basis now?

I guess.

I don't know what they're doing, but that's the system.

You call call between seven and seven fifteen on monday and you call tuesday i'm going to tell you the same thing call next monday you call me sunday night i'm going to say call between seven and seven fifteen monday and if you miss it you're out and they won't guarantee you can't say hey well can i get so much concrete this week and then next week and the week after you can call next monday And so you can't place a whole order.

In advance, you can't.

Which right, which makes pouring concrete almost impossible because when you have concrete, you pour it and you run out, it won't bond with the new concrete.

So

how is this going to work exactly?

It's crazy what's going on.

Let me give you a couple of stories here.

First of all, the U.S.

is investigating possible mysterious directed energy attacks near the White House.

Did you see this story?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Now, they say this is the Cuba effect.

We don't know who's doing it, China or Russia, but a lot of our people down in Cuba have had real problems because they say they're being bombarded with some sort of an energy ray.

And it can cause you, I think, to go deaf, dizziness, confusion.

I mean, it's not good.

And now they just found out, or no, they just released that while Trump was in office, somebody was doing a test with this near the White House.

And we don't know who yet.

So we got that going for us.

Is that something we can't trace?

You can't trace an energy beam?

I don't know.

I know that we say we don't know who's behind it, and we don't know what it even is at this point.

That's kind of frightening.

I'm hoping they have the energy device that that's one of our enemies that has the energy device that makes people throw up and get dizzy.

And we are the ones behind the UFOs.

That's what I'm hoping for.

By the way,

the Navy is way below now the 355 ships that we are supposed to have.

They're mandated, that we have 355 ships at all time.

We only have 296 ships.

More being built.

Unfortunately, it doesn't.

We won't reach the requirement until 2031 or 2033 of the mandated mandated ships.

We're building them now, and we won't be able to catch up and be mandated for another 13 years.

That sounds like something America doesn't do in World War II.

But one of the problems is, is that Biden came in and said no budget increases at all for the Pentagon.

So the cost of living increase, we can't finish the ships.

They don't know where they're going to get the money.

And, you know, Washington is on such a tight, tight budget.

I can completely understand that

also here is the beyond the chicken shortage spooky story I'm going to read this one verbatim the chief scientist for the newly created U.S.

Space Force has said that he thinks human augmentation will be here sooner rather than later 100% agree, but listen to this.

Dr.

Joel Moser, speaking at an event at the Air Force Research Research Laboratory, said that it is imperative that the U.S.

outdo its adversaries by leading in human augmentation in military technology.

In the last century, quoting, Western civilization transformed from an industrial-based society to an information-based society, but today we're on the brink of a new age, the age of human augmentation.

In our business of national defense, it is imperative that we embrace this new age, lest we fall behind our strategic competitors.

Now, he has been with the Air Force for most of his career.

He helped develop many of the space flight technologies.

He said there are unimaginable advances that will be made over the next five to ten years, citing the leaps in artificial intelligences.

He says

the Space Force

could eventually develop an AI military tactic and strategies strategies that no human could and eventually anonymous programs or machines would understand,

but strategies that no human could understand.

The AI eventually would create programs that would design line of attacks far too complex for humans to understand.

This will extend into the battlefield where, listen to this, where commanders and decision makers will have at their disposal multiple autonomous agents,

each able to control the execution of things like reconnaissance, fire control, or attack.

So, in other words,

he wants to augment humans

so we could interface with AI and be able to understand the line of attack.

Because otherwise, AI will just take to the battlefield and do things we can't understand in our name.

Wow.

Maybe now the people in Washington, if that happened, the white people in Washington would understand how we feel now about them.

That they do things that none of us understand because they don't make sense.

None of us understand and they don't care.

They just execute them.

All in our name.

This is really, really,

really bad.

You know, there have been several scientists that have said we need to sign a pact, a worldwide pact, that AI would not be used for military, that we would not get into,

you know, militarized people, augmented people.

You know, I don't think China is going to care about that.

I don't think Russia is going to care about that, but we should.

I don't know.

There isn't a difference.

You know, Hitler tried to make the Uber man, the Uber Mensch, and tried to make a superhero.

That's what Captain Marvel is all about.

Or not Captain Marvel, Captain America.

Captain America is that story, you know, the red skull created by the Nazi doctors, and we created Captain America.

So they actually tried to do that with drugs and everything else back in the 1930s.

The CIA tried to do it with experimental drugs in their covert program in the 1960s that was an abomination we're now going to do it again

and it looks like technology is caught up to our desire strange desire

but also at the same time they're saying because technology is going to pass us soon and we won't understand

i love the fact that he said you know we really have to think carefully of the ethics of this yeah yeah

yeah

yeah i think maybe we, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe we should, seeing that it will act in our name and could just go to war for things that we don't understand.

Do you remember, Pat, the doomsday device?

The doomsday device?

Yeah, do you remember that?

From science fiction or a real doomsday device?

The real doomsday device.

Everybody thinks it's science fiction,

but it was actual scientists who said, we now are in the computing age.

So let's set up parameters and let everybody on earth know these parameters are what will set the doomsday device off.

And they wanted to put nuclear

bombs underneath the surface of the earth, put them as close to the core as they could get, wire it to a computer.

And if any, and it would just judge us.

And if any country would start doing, you know, something and causing war uh and it would go into global war it would stop us because we would all know the computer is watching us and it's going to blow up the entire earth they were serious about that wow serious

and uh looks like we're i mean science science doesn't change The more things change, the more they say exactly the same.

All right, our sponsor this half hour is Timeshare Termination.

If you own a timeshare,

let me just take a moment of silence for you and your wallet.

Wow, I'm sorry for that.

I mean, don't get me wrong.

I almost did one too.

I almost did one.

We were like, we would love to vacation here.

We do that all the time.

We've never been back.

And I'm sure if we went back, we'd be like, we'd love it every time.

We should just get a timeshare here.

But then when you get a timeshare,

it's not the timeshare that you wanted.

It's not the vacation or the time or anything else that's convenient.

So

what do you have really except bills every single year?

Timeshare Termination Team can help you out of that.

There are some good timeshares out there.

If you have a Disney, you can sell it.

If you have one of the usual timeshares, you can't sell that thing.

And so it just sits there and just rots and decays and pulls you down.

Get out of it legally.

permanently with the legal team at timeshare termination team now they're going to give you a 100 guarantee that you're going to get out they will get you out 100 guaranteed and you'll get 20 off when you terminate your timeshare if you tell them that I sent you.

So, make sure you tell them right up front that I sent you so you can get the 20% discount on terminating your timeshare.

It's going to free up a lot of money, a lot of headaches, and a lot of worry, quite honestly.

So I'd like your opinion on Instagram of the gas mask chandelier that

I'm making

for my man cave.

I'm making a man cave at the house.

And yeah, beautiful.

And so far,

you've seen it.

Oh, there's a picture of me working on it.

You can see the video of me making it, my daughter going, what the hell are you doing as I'm making this?

It's going to be really cool.

It's just a whole bunch.

It's like 30 gas masks, and the lights are going to light up inside the eyes.

That's fantastic.

It's going to be cool.

That is cool.

But

it's the craziest thing, Pat.

Every woman,

every woman who has seen it

hates it.

It's like, that is spooky.

It's scary.

It shouldn't be.

You got to take that apart.

And every guy goes, I love that.

Yeah, it's cool.

I think that's very cool.

Yeah.

Check it out on my Instagram page and you can vote.

Is it crazy or cool?

Both.

So I'm guessing Tanya wouldn't want that in, say, your dining room or

a living space area.

No.

No.

I don't think I would put it in the

dining room either.

No.

I mean, that'd be the

you'd put that in your dining room?

I think I would.

Yeah.

It's cool.

Yeah.

It'd be a conversation piece, I'll tell you that.

Yeah.

Like Jackie would be saying, oh, you're staying on the couch again tonight.

Yes.

That's the kind of conversations that would probably happen.

All right.

Have a safe weekend.

Thank you so much for listening.
