Next day on Hulu.

So you never thought COVID could cost you your home.

It costs lots of other things, but would it cost you your home?

It could because, well, COVID has cyber criminals at home as well.

They can't go out of their house either.

So they're sitting around and they're hacking your home title.

You don't want this to happen to you.

It's called home title theft.

Cyber criminals, foreign and domestic, are now after our homes, and it's easier than you think.

Title documents to our homes are online.

So they're hacking other stuff.

Why not hack this as well?

This is the big ticket item.

Yeah, sure.

You can get somebody's credit card, maybe charge a thousand bucks.

How much money can you get if you steal someone's home title?

This is a problem that's growing across the country.

It's something that you can stop, though, as long as you get out ahead of it.

Insurance doesn't cover you.

Neither do common identity theft programs.

But Home Title Lock will.

That's why I have it.

Home Title Lock, when they detect a threat, they help you shut it down.

If you go to home titlelock.com, register your address, see if you're already a victim, then use the code Radio to get 30 risk-free days of protection.

The code is radio at home title.com.

HomeTitolock.com.

It's one of the fastest-growing crimes in America.

Don't let it grow all over you.

HomeTitalock.com.

The code is RADIO.

And by the way, the radio program starts in just five seconds.

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

This

is

the Glenback Program.

Hello, America, and welcome to the program.

My name is Glenn Beck, from behind my cardboard microphone, doing my best not to be quite as white as I usually am.

Just to fit in, gang.

We're going to talk a little bit about the dangerous, dangerous white conspiracy theorists and the white extremists that are planning to overthrow our government.

Holy cow, thank goodness, the House Subcommittee had a hearing yesterday because I didn't realize how many white people who believe in the Constitution and believe in, you know, fair elections and, you know, mom, apple pie, baseball, those things.

I didn't realize how dangerous they were until yesterday.

We begin there.

And Dan Crenshaw coming up in 60 seconds.

The Glenn Beck Program.

So Grace lives in Oklahoma and she has dealt with lower back pain and pain in her legs for a long time.

She'd come home from work at the end of the day and it was all that she could do just to make it through the evening.

So over the years she tried a lot of different remedies, but she could never just get at the source of the pain.

Nothing worked for very long.

Then one day she happened to hear me talking about Relief Factor on the radio and something I said convinced her.

Despite her understandable skepticism, she decided to give Relief Factor a try.

Grace, I can't thank you enough.

You know, my daughter asked me

yesterday about something.

I don't remember what it was.

And she said, Dad, that's a commercial.

Do you ever do commercials for things you don't believe in?

And I said, no,

never.

And she said, so you like these things, all the things you talk about.

And I said, honey.

I don't ever do a commercial unless I like it or I have investigated it myself or I use it.

In the case with Relief Factor, I use it and I believe in it because it worked for me.

Well, Grace found herself coming home from work feeling just fine within, she says, a week or two of starting it.

The pain she had had for so long was finally gone.

Grace got her life back and you can too.

Relief Factor is not a drug and it works for about 70% of the people who try it.

They go on to order more month after month and you should know within the first three weeks.

That's why they have the three-week trial pack.

Just try it for three weeks and see if you can't get your life back, like Grace did, like I did, and hundreds of others that are in this audience.

Holy cow, Stew.

The

House Judiciary Domestic Terrorism Hearing, chaired by Jackson Lee,

claims that over the last four years, the rise of domestic terrorism has just gone off the charts, specifically the violence from white supremacists.

Wow.

She says over the last 10 years, 75% of the murders resulting from domestic terrorism were results of right-wing extremists.

Wow.

There couldn't possibly be an issue with the categorization of these murders, could there?

Like when you don't call gang killings, for example, terrorism, which again, I wouldn't necessarily think it is, but like you can eliminate a lot of murders by the way you categorize these things.

Yeah, well,

you had workplace incidents.

You had disgruntled employees.

Right.

Not terrorists.

Not terrorists.

They were never terrorists.

They might say Allah

as they're walking through the place, but that's just because they fit, you know, they may have left a new supervisor that says, I'm doing this for

Osama bin Laden or al-Qaeda or, you know, the caliphate.

But who's to say what al-Qaeda means?

It could mean anything.

It should be a guy named Al.

She then went on to say:

there are not good people on both sides.

No, there are not good people on both sides.

Yeah, yeah, there are.

She then accused Donald Trump of inciting the riot on January 6th.

She said that right-wing extremists and white supremacists are the main cause, the main cause now of domestic terrorism.

The ranking member

said that he was a little afraid that maybe his colleagues might just focus on domestic terror that they cherry-pick from the right,

but I, you know, he

brought somebody up who's been harassed and beaten by, you know, Antifa, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

We all know how crazy that is to bring that up.

Then Mr.

Naderk

stood up, and it was kind of hard for him to do, but he stood up and he pulled his pants up to his nipples.

And

Jerry Nadler claimed that most of this

is due to religion.

Is due to religion.

And, you know, I think when we're talking about domestic terrorism,

that's probably true,

but that religion would probably be Islam.

I'm just, uh-oh, did I say that out loud?

When it comes to domestic terror and numbers of people killed, I would say that it would probably be

Islam.

Now, a distortion of Islam?

Sure.

The really scary part of Islam?

Yeah.

I know a lot of...

I'm not even going to say this.

Forget it.

There are good people on both sides.

Mr.

Jordan,

you know, also stood up, and he said that he was...

He was upset that the Democrats were only focusing on one side.

He said violence should be condemned whether it's in D.C.

or in Portland.

Oh, but then

Wade Henderson came in.

He was the first witness.

He's the CEO of Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.

And

he had four points to make, and I think he sealed the deal here.

He said Congress must pass the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act.

You should look that one up, Stu.

The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act.

That sounds like something I'm for.

I don't want domestic terrorism.

Right.

I would like to prevent it.

Right.

And I think we should act.

Right.

It all works.

It all works.

Domestic terrorism.

Are you for domestic?

Are you a domestic terrorist?

No, I don't want it.

Then why are you against the domestic

terrorism prevention act?

You want to prevent terrorism or not, Mr.

White Supremacist?

Congress must identify ways to find and eliminate white supremacy in the police department.

Okay, I'm for that,

but I'm not for these people doing it.

When you say these people, I think we know exactly what I mean.

Here's who I mean.

The elite white leftist liberals who all think they know better than anybody else, especially minorities.

That's who I mean.

We have to find ways to eliminate white supremacy in the police department.

Let me tell you something.

I lived in Louisville, Kentucky, and I remember one of the first days

I was living there.

I was watching the local news.

This is back in the 80s.

And I was watching the local news.

And I'm, you know, I grew up in Seattle.

At the time, the worst thing that was happening in Seattle was Another cloudy day.

I mean, we didn't have these issues

like the rest of the country.

I don't think we ever had the Klan.

At least I wasn't aware of it.

You know, the issues were more about indigenous people and, you know, yada, yada.

But it was still, it was not that big of a deal, at least when I was growing up.

So I move and, you know, my sister, did I ever tell you the story about my sister when I

took her to a part of town, Little Italy,

in

New Haven, Connecticut.

Did I tell you this story?

No.

My sister, Coletta, she's the oldest and not necessarily the wisest.

She grew up, you know, obviously like me, and we never met anybody in the mob.

We didn't know people who knew people in the mob.

We didn't think the mob, you know, the mob was a joke, you know what I mean?

For us growing up, you'd watch movies and you'd see it and you'd be like, okay, well, my sister, she either didn't watch those movies or she just thought they were just all made up.

Right.

And I'm living in

New Haven and we're going to this restaurant.

It was a really good restaurant, but it was owned by one of the mob bosses.

And

I don't want to even say his name, but

certainly don't say the restaurant.

And I love him.

I love him.

If he were real,

if the mob existed, which it doesn't, I love him.

Anyway, I said to her, I said, this guy is so stereotypical.

And I said, don't say anything, but he's like one of the kingpins here

in the mob.

And

so this guy comes and, you know, and I've played nice with him, you know, hey,

great restaurant.

I love it.

I love it.

No complaints here.

And he would come to the table and he came and he, this time he sat down.

I said, this is my sister, Kaluta.

And he sat down at the table.

And he said, though, and so so

what are you doing out here, right?

And she's had too many glasses of wine and she just thinks he's charming.

And she said, can I tell you something?

And all of a sudden, I break out into sweat and I'm like, dear God, what is she going to say?

And she said, can I tell you something?

My brother is so stupid.

Oh, no.

Swear to God.

No.

She said, he said you're in the mob.

And I was like,

and this guy turned to me and looked at me and I just went, ha ha.

And he, thank God, started to laugh.

Ha, ha, ha, your brother.

He's such a, he's such a dead man.

He's such a kidder, isn't he?

And

I mean, okay, so that's the kind of world I grew up in.

Did you have your tires slashed at any point?

Oh my gosh, no, but I left the restaurant.

I said, what the hell?

She's like, the mob.

It might have happened around Al Capone.

It doesn't happen anymore.

I'm like, get out of my town.

Get out of my town.

So anyway,

why was I even talking about this?

We were talking about the white supremacy or the

colours.

So

I moved to Louisville, Kentucky in the 80s.

And one of the first news stories was about the cops and how these two cops had their Klan robes

in the trunk of their squad car.

Never a good idea.

Never a good idea.

That's not where you keep them.

You know, you might I guess.

It's so wrinkled.

Yeah, and grease if you have, you know, some tools back.

I mean, just unbelievable.

And I remember watching it thinking,

oh my gosh, I can't believe that still is a thing.

And now I live in a city where the cops are involved in the Klan.

And I immediately, I was probably 22, 23 years old.

And I immediately realized this is real.

And I understand why black people are a little nervous about opening the door for a cop.

I got it immediately.

So I am all for let's stop the Klan.

There's no people who are for white supremacy in the police force.

I mean, again, supremacists.

I mean, I could say that.

The Grand Dragon would probably be okay with that.

Right.

And let's look at it as a percentage of the population.

Yes.

You're going to basically, you're going to round it to zero, I promise you.

Correct, correct.

Then he said Congress must pass legislation and appropriate to enhance the federal response to hate crimes, specifically citing white supremacists.

And they have to pass H.R.

40, giving African Americans reparations.

Now, here's the thing.

I want you to understand why reparations is going to go through this time in some form or another, unless you stand up.

This is nothing about slavery anymore.

It's not about slavery.

You know, because the argument used to be, who's going to get it?

How are you going to trace, you know, who gets the money, who doesn't get the money?

It doesn't matter anymore because white people are oppressive.

So if you're white, you don't get it.

You pay.

If you're anything other than white, you will get it.

You're not going to just give it to African Americans because whites have also kept every other race down by this oppressive system.

So it's no longer,

don't try to use logic with any of these things.

You can't argue logic anymore

because this has nothing to do with anything other than the premise that you must universally accept white people are racist and have oppressed all other races.

They're the problem.

So they caused all these problems, gained all this wealth by oppression.

It's time for them to have their wealth taken and given to anyone they've oppressed.

I agree with your premise that that logic has nothing to do with this.

But how can you constitutionally do this?

Oh, you can't.

You can't, right?

You can't just say, I think people with this color skin should get X, Y, and Z.

No.

There was a reason we amended the Constitution so things like that couldn't happen.

Yeah, but that is, again,

you can't use logic.

We're talking anti-racism.

And anti-racism is different than being against racism.

Anti-racism, according to its own creed, must

discriminate.

Against white people.

Right.

You must be racist against white people.

And white people are the only ones that can be racist.

So you must understand that they they are racist.

And the only way to repair this is to punish them.

But like, how could you do this?

Like,

you would say, what?

Peep, if you happen to be a minority, come get your money?

Like, how?

No, they just, no, it'll all go through programs.

They will just allot money.

to programs and that only

color yeah and i think the time that this uh happens it's going to happen in one of two ways and i'll explain Give me one minute.

I'll tell you, remind me, one of two ways.

I should write that down because I'll probably forget one of them.

My pillow.

Best pillow I've ever slept with.

If you haven't tried,

how many pillows have you slept with?

You promiscuous man, you?

You just sleep with any old pillow?

I am currently seeing other pillows behind my pillow's back.

Oh my gosh.

I can't believe that.

All right, best sheets you've ever slept on are the Giza Dream sheets from my pillow.

I just think these are really, honestly, just the best.

The mattress topper now is out, and it gives you the most restful, deep healing sleep of your life.

Station ID.

One of the two reasons.

Well, two ways it's going to happen.

Yeah.

Okay.

Two ways reparations are going to happen in this country because elections have consequences.

So

the way they want it to happen is that it will be a direct transfer of wealth, that you'll take money

from high-income, you know,

people, just raise taxes like crazy.

You take money from Glenn Beck and give it to black people Glenn Beck has oppressed.

Correct.

They will what they'll do is they will,

the way they would like to do it is to have categories of people.

And so everybody will pay a very high tax, but you will be exempt from it if you check this box, this box, and this box.

Okay.

So you're going to be receiving the money if you check certain boxes.

I don't know how

to get close to cost.

I don't either.

Here's the way I think it is going to happen.

It's going to happen through programs.

So they they will just start taxing everybody

really high, especially if you make over a certain amount of money.

And remember, if you know, you're probably a race trader anyway, if you're making a lot of money.

And so you will be able to check boxes as well.

If you are in an upper category, you may get some

benefits from it, but it will generally be through programs.

And it'll be like the

Great Society.

That was all supposed to help.

Well, we've spent $23 trillion

on the Great Society since LBJ put that into effect.

$23 trillion.

The black community is not doing better.

It's doing worse.

It's doing worse because that dismantled that community and those families.

They were entrepreneurs.

They had more stable marriages than white people did.

I mean, that was a growing, thriving community that just needed a chance.

You know,

when they had stable families and they were entrepreneurs under the kind of discrimination that they had in the 50s, why once that discrimination is supposedly taken away and the great society starts, how did that break up families and destroy things?

I contend because it was intended to, and so will this.

But it is going to come through programs.

Hooker by crook, reparations are going to come because

elections have consequences.

This is the Glenback program.

You know,

it's nice when every once in a while the stars align and you get to do something both because it's good and because it saves you money.

Most of the time, doing something good costs more.

I want to talk to you about switching to Patriot Mobile.

It is something that's good to do and also will save you money.

Patriot Mobile not only doesn't donate to leftist causes like Planned Parenthood, the way some of the big mobile companies do, but in fact, they donate to conservative causes, the kinds of things that you and I get behind, like the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, but also they are cheaper than using big mobile.

And even then, you don't sacrifice the quality for a lower cost.

They're on the same cell towers as the big guys.

Their plans are affordable and customizable.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Pleased to have a very rare appearance on this program, Congressman Dan Crenshaw.

Dan, how are you, sir?

Good.

How are you doing?

I'm doing well.

Thanks for having me on.

It doesn't have to be rare.

You know, we can do it more often.

I just think we've been

hard to get the schedule right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No,

I'm not implying anything.

I'm just grateful that you're on.

It is rare to have you on, and I really appreciate it because I want to talk to you almost every day because you're one of the guys who I think really gets it and

is standing for the things that we need to stand for.

And there are very few people left that I think people on the right trust, and you're one of them.

So, Dan, let me ask you a couple of questions.

I want to get into Texas here in a second, but there's two stories that boggle my mind that I think you're uniquely qualified to talk about.

One is this story from military.com today: The Navy is making all sailors reaffirm the oath to the Constitution in the extremism standdown.

I find this incredibly insulting.

Can you comment on this?

Yeah,

I'm sorry.

I don't know coronavirus.

I just got so in my throat.

I haven't heard that story, but

it's concerning.

Look,

on the one hand, I'd love for sailors and Marines and soldiers to reaffirm their oath of the Constitution every morning

and pledge their allegiance as well.

Why not?

Yep.

But this pretense is concerning, and it's clearly, it's so obviously and clearly politically motivated.

And so let's just, for the viewers who I think are aware of this, let's back up a second.

I think the premise of this is that, well, we had a lot of veterans on January 6th at the Capitol, right?

That's the premise of all this nonsense.

But that just mathematically, that's not a good indication of where active duty military stand or where veterans

stand more broadly, right?

Just because there's a lot of people here does not mean that a large proportion of those people are indeed extremists or bad people.

Correct.

And

wait a second.

I thought we were against that kind of profiling, right?

I thought that was against the very liberal values that supposedly the left stands for.

But Glenn, you know very well, the left is not liberal.

The left is very anti-liberal.

And I think as conservatives, we've got to say that more often.

Yes.

They've become genuinely authoritarian.

Progressivism is not in sync with liberalism.

There's a big difference between an Alan Dershowitz liberal and

a Democrat Party progressive.

They're totally different.

Totally different.

One other question,

because I don't understand this.

Democrats have asked Biden to surrender the keys on the nuclear launches.

What they're doing is they're trying to take away the president's sole authority to launch nuclear weapons because they say it could just happen too fast.

And they want him to

be forced into some sort of a committee before anything is launched.

So he wouldn't have the nuclear football keys.

It would be with a committee.

What the hell is that?

It's extremely concerning.

Look,

from my point of view and your point of view, I'm sure it is hard to actually assess which you trust less.

A Biden who can't finish sentences very well or a crazy Democrat Party.

But in the end, it's pretty obvious what they're doing.

And Nancy Closely laid the groundwork for this even before Biden took office, talking about invoking the 25th Amendment.

And it was pretty obvious she wasn't even talking about Trump.

So, look, I think they obviously know that he has cognitive issues.

But

the good news for America is that Biden's demeanor and general disposition is not to go just go launch nuclear bombs.

No.

You know, I'll say a lot of things about the guy, but I don't think that's what his plan is.

And so this feels a little bit disingenuous.

And I also feel like, I mean, if he woke up one day and he was,

you know, suddenly temporarily insane and he said, let's launch the missiles,

there are people and systems in place to stop that madness.

All right.

He doesn't have it under his bed, all right?

It's not like in his bathroom.

He just presses it.

That's not how it works.

Yeah, right.

It's not like, oops, push the wrong button.

I meant to hit the I Want More Coke button.

All right.

Let's talk a little bit about what happened in Texas because it is, it's insane on what's being said about the Texas grid and Texas not being green, et cetera, et cetera.

Part of the problem is, is that we are green.

We lead the country in wind power now.

Right.

So this is a bit complex, and I'm going to distill it as much as possible.

One thing that conservatives did right off the bat, you know, jumping on the means, which is what we do, and and it's fun.

But we put up all these pictures of frozen wind turbines because it's funny.

But that's not exactly why the grid went down.

And so it gave the left an opportunity to build a strongman argument against the right.

And they say, well, that's not really what happened.

And they're sort of correct.

But what did happen is over time, a huge overinvestment in renewable energy and a huge underinvestment in baseload power.

And baseload power means things that can turn on quick and power the grid reliably.

And those things, there's only three of them, coal, nuclear, and gas.

Correct.

In Texas,

we have underinvested in coal dramatically.

A lot of our coal plants have been replaced by natural gas because it's cheaper.

So this is generally market-driven.

Nuclear is expensive.

I wish there was more of it because it is the only carbon-free energy that is reliable.

But we only have about four nuclear plants.

in Texas, and we haven't really built many new gas plants either.

All the new gas plants are generally replacing coal plants, and we've had massive population increases in Texas.

Massive.

20%.

And it's

still the best place to live.

So when you don't have enough baseload power, you're not investing enough in it, you're investing a ton in renewable energy because it makes you feel good, it makes you feel green, but that renewable energy never works, never works when you need it the most.

It certainly doesn't work when there's no wind.

It certainly doesn't work when there's no sun.

And in extreme weather, that tends to be the case.

So yes,

wind did go down dramatically.

I mean, you know, at its best, wind can provide quite a bit of energy for the Texas grid, but that's at its best, and you can't rely on that.

Right.

So, the left is building the straw man argument saying, No, no, no, it's fossil fuels that fail.

And the question you have to ask them back is: compared to what?

Really, compared to what?

Compared to renewables?

Because renewables won't work.

Well, that's just a fact.

They don't work in good weather sometimes, let alone bad weather.

Their own selling from their own documents, wind power at most,

can provide 40% capacity at any given time.

At most, it just averages out.

The wind stops.

And so all of the energy that is being produced stops.

So by their own estimates, it's 40% reliable for capacity.

Yeah, and in practice, it's much less.

You know, on average, it's actually extremely high, still very high, about 18%, but that's on average.

Sometimes it's 0%.

And that's the thing.

When you're designing an energy grid, you have to plan for what does 100%

look like on a given day.

But then

you also have to plan for, well, what does 150% look like?

Like if the whole state freezes because it's a once-in-a-century freeze.

Correct.

And that's basically what happened.

We needed about 150% more.

And over time, because we haven't invested in fossil fuels, because, you know, green energy and such, again, I'm not against solar and wind,

but it is pretty obvious from a policy perspective that if you listen too much to the Democrats and take too many notes from them and take too many notes from California and you overinvest in these things and you federally subsidize it, and here's the other thing that people don't know about Texas, we do prioritize electrons coming from wind.

So wind always gets to make a profit, but gas doesn't.

And nuclear certainly doesn't.

Nuclear often operates at a loss.

One other thing we do in Texas, which maybe we should look at, is we don't, this keeps our prices lower, but what we don't do is pay a capacity fee to plants that can generate capacity immediately and on demand.

So all the other states do that.

We don't do that in Texas.

It keeps our prices lower, but it also might discourage investment from these baseload capacity

power plants, which again, the left loves, but it's not good policy.

Trevor Burrus, Jr.:

So take me here, because I think the problem is exactly the problem we went through in 2008 with the banks.

There was a policy.

They wanted everybody to own houses.

So the feds made it easy for loans to be had that shouldn't have been taken out.

And they were pushing a policy.

And so everybody indulged, and then it broke.

This is the same thing that's happening in Texas.

The federal subsidies for wind power make it much more economical to build those.

And so the people who are

building and in this industry, they're like, I could get all this free money from the government for doing this.

Let's just build this.

I mean, isn't the subsidy a big problem?

It is.

I mean, I don't like these subsidies.

You know, one response Republicans have is say, okay, how about at least we make the subsidies technology neutral so that they can at least go to nuclear.

You know, here's a statistic for you.

Solar gets 250 times more subsidies than nuclear does.

Wind gets about 160 times more subsidies than nuclear does.

This makes no sense.

Look, I'm very pro-nuclear.

I am too.

It's expensive.

But if we're going to believe that we actually have to reduce emissions rapidly, then why are they against nuclear?

It makes me question their intent and their motivations because it makes me think it's really not about the carbon reductions.

Because if you really care about carbon reductions,

your number one goal would be to export as much clean natural gas as possible to dirty coal-burning countries like China and India, and you'd be investing in nuclear.

We wouldn't have to put a $90 trillion

price tag on it because

we would be able to build at scale.

We would be able to invest in American nuclear.

We could build nuclear around the world.

That could be instead of China and Russia doing it.

And by the way, that means they also gain a foothold into nuclear capabilities in developing countries, which is really not a good thing.

So there's a national security aspect of this in the sense that America wants to be controlling the nuclear energy around the world.

There's a clean energy aspect to this.

There's a reliability aspect to this.

You're never going to get rid of fossil fuels.

Look, coal, nuclear, these are the most reliable things in really, really bad weather.

It's why a lot lot of northern states still have coal.

Not going to escape that.

And I think that the lesson from Texas is, look, there's definitely a ceiling to how much renewables you can have on the grid.

It's not necessarily true that if you just keep building more wind,

it's terrible for the grid.

But it is true that if you also simultaneously underinvest in baseload power,

so there's a floor to that.

So there's a floor to that, and there's probably a ceiling to renewables.

If you keep building renewables, it just becomes a waste of money at a certain point.

We're talking to Congressman Dan Crenshaw.

You are in Congress, so you see what's coming our way.

The things the Biden administration is doing and Congress is proposing with

the Green New Deal, et cetera, et cetera.

This is all about changing every aspect of our life.

It's all about control and power.

And I don't mean that in the electricity sort of way.

And it's terrifying terrifying when you look into the way that corporations are now starting to incorporate what are called ESGs, environmental, social justice, and governmental standards, which

are a little terrifying when you understand the scope of what that means to the average person.

Yeah, so so the lots taken,

I think the quickest way to boil all this down is

there's a quite a different disposition on the left and the right.

You have to boil all of our policy differences down to the psychological disposition.

And on the left, that disposition is this.

We want to change the nature of man.

And we believe we can.

We believe we can use the forces of government and the forces of institutions to fundamentally change you.

And

we'll keep fighting for that revolution no matter what.

We're not really sure where that revolution goes.

This is where it all falls apart because utopianism is, well, it's nowhere.

I mean, it literally means nowhere in Greek because it can't exist.

And you'll kill yourself trying to get there.

The right has a different disposition, a far more humble disposition that, look, there's about the best we can do with governance.

You cannot change the nature of man, but you can provide a good system and structural incentives and disincentives to get the best outcomes.

So

that's a fundamental difference that does not change.

It's almost like people are born that way.

This is where all of this nonsense comes from.

And they're always looking for ways

to thwart it.

And we're always trying to point out to people, look, I know this feels good.

I know this feels like they're promising utopia, but we promise you that

the road to good,

the path to hell is paved with good intentions.

And this turned out to be true every single time.

Last week is another indication of that.

Dan,

I want you to know I'm going to be making a call today, and

you're probably going to hate that I say this, but I'm going to be making a call today after the program.

For the very first time since last week, a a name has come to me that I need to pass on to Premier Radio Networks on a replacement for Rush Limbaugh.

I think you could replace Rush Limbaugh.

That answer was so clear

and explaining a very complex thing.

This is why we would like you to be on the show.

Doesn't he already have a job?

No, he already has a job, but

maybe you can do it.

I have a podcast too, you know.

I have a podcast.

There you go.

What's the name of your podcast?

Hold These Truths.

Hold These Truths.

Okay, Dan, thank you.

We'll talk again.

Appreciate it.

Going to the compliment coming from you.

I really appreciate it.

You bet.

It's great being on with you.

You bet.

Bye-bye.

Dan Crenshaw.

I mean, wasn't that a clarifying answer?

I mean, he's a really smart guy.

All right.

I want to talk to you a little bit about mowing your lawn.

There is, I hate mowing my lawn when it's really hot.

And if you have to push the mower, I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

However, I love mowing the lawn if I'm driving, if I'm, you know, I don't know on a riding mower.

It's just fun.

It's just driving around.

It is.

It is.

And it's a time for you to be kind of, you know, by yourself and just think, which I really enjoy that quiet time.

And it's too, you know, you're driving a lawnmower, so people can't bother you.

Exactly.

You could always point it at them.

Yeah.

Anyway, Hustler makes the best lawnmower where if you have, you know, you have some lawn, a big lawn,

this is a zero-turn lawnmower.

And these are the people that invented this over 55 years ago.

And they have been perfecting it for big industrial kind of lawns and

lawn mowing services.

It's now available to you.

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

This

is

the Glenback program.

Project Veritas has come out and said Salesforce,

the company Salesforce, plans to blacklist clients for political speech,

citing the Capitol riots.

In what most people would say is unrelated news other than the same topic of banning people,

Twitter banned hundreds of accounts for undermining NATO.

These two stories are much more than just in the same category.

They are connected.

I want you to listen this hour because I think you need to start looking at the world entirely differently.

There's a lot going on and we've got to start understanding broad categories.

And the world that I am trying to line out for you and show you it is so important that you understand it because it is it is not the world

that most people think they live in but the change has already happened and you have to stop thinking the world works the way it used to because it doesn't we begin there in 60 seconds

The Glenn Beck program.

If you have been living with pain and you desperately want to get your life back, I'm here to tell you that not only do I understand firsthand what it's like, but I also may have found a way to help you get your life back.

It's called Relief Factor.

The only reason why I'm trying to get you to try it is because I was, I didn't want to try it.

I didn't believe it's all natural.

Please.

Have some Ibrofen 800.

Shut up.

All natural.

yeah i'm gonna go eat some tree bark and it's gonna work i don't believe in any of that stuff i tried chinese medicine i've tried everything

i tried it 70 of the people who try it find within three weeks results.

I found them within three weeks and I came home from from vacation.

I found them in two weeks.

There are so many things that we talk about

and that I have talked about

that

I have a new understanding.

You know, the older you get, the

more you realize,

I don't really know anything.

You know, when you're young, you become very arrogant that I know what's going on.

I mean, it starts with your parents.

I'm smarter than my parents.

My parents don't get it.

And then when you get a little older, and by the time you're 30, hopefully,

you're like, you know, my parents did kind of get it.

And you start to realize you don't have any answers.

The only thing I am certain of

is God

and that I am not certain about anything.

I am not certain about the makeup of God.

I'm not certain about anything.

I'm open to any possibility.

That is an important place to be

because if you hold fast to where you have been, you will not be able to move to the next place.

And the country and the world

has already moved to the next place.

If you're a longtime listener of this program, you know that back in 2009 or 10,

my staff had a very frightening meeting.

One of my lead guys on my staff had a meeting with the lead guy from George Soros, and it was very disturbing.

It was a threat.

You will stop doing these things because

my client feels that they're being hurt by it.

I don't think you understand.

You will stop doing these things.

No.

The last thing that was said at that meeting was,

I don't think you really understand.

The ship has already sailed

and you're either on it or you're not.

Get on the ship.

To which my representative said,

you can Mr.

Soros, I'm pretty sure, even without asking,

my boss doesn't want to be on that ship and is not going to get onto that ship.

This ship has already sailed, and I believe it sailed around the time that I was being told.

It was maybe still being loaded, but it is deep,

deeply past the channel.

It is in deep ocean waters now.

And

you have to understand

the world you live in is not the world you have been in before.

Let me start here.

I have said for a long time that one of the big pressures that's that's pushing all of this,

and we never talk about it,

is the turmoil that is coming from the

technological and information

revolution.

We are in both of those revolutions right now.

So take the Industrial Revolution, which took from the cotton gin where you didn't need manual labor to the

let's just even say just

the

the the the plants that built world war ii

and built all the armaments that was a hundred years okay that was a hundred years of going from farming and doing it all by horse and hand to an industrial revolution which were building airplanes that didn't even they didn't exist electricity didn't exist with the cotton gin.

All of those changes, indoor plumbing,

running water, toilets inside, just I keep focusing on, you know, the indoor plumbing because it was a pretty big deal, to automobiles, to airplanes, to living in cities,

to working in factories, all of that happened in 100 years.

100 years.

Now, that seems like a very short period of time time if you're looking at that on the stance of humanity, but that was really rapid.

That was a big change.

In the middle of that, we had a civil war.

And partly because

that old way was dying.

It was out.

There was no place for it to go.

Most people don't know that the northern states, the New England states, at the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, anything up north,

they passed laws against slavery

years

before the United States government passed them.

The states did it themselves.

In fact, if those states were a country,

they beat the entire world to the abolition of slavery.

No one did it before the northern states did in the United States of America.

No one did.

We were first,

with the exception of the South.

And the South was focused on money.

They were focused on industry.

They were making all of the cotton for the world.

It was us, Egypt, India.

That's it.

We

needed that slave power, they would say, because we're producing these products and it can't be produced by just a farm.

We have to have slaves do the labor.

Okay, wrong then, wrong now.

Got it.

Cotton gin comes in.

That whole way of life is now threatened.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

That machine can do what all those people can do?

Yeah.

Well, okay, let's release.

You can't release.

That's a way of life.

And you also have to reject now yourself

and say, oh,

I guess these people aren't inferior.

I was just using them for cheap labor.

You're not going to do that.

You have generations of your family and of your state, your area.

saying that this isn't wrong.

We're not doing it for money.

We're doing this because they're inferior.

So as this industrial revolution starts to kick in,

you have that conflict because their way of life is going away.

That is what's happening now.

And the left wants you to believe that it's because white supremacists feel that their supremacy is going away.

That's not true.

The entire world is going through

I should say the entire Western world is going through a period of time right now where we are being told, if you're in Sweden, you don't have a worthy culture.

Yes, you do.

Yes, you do.

And so do people in Ethiopia.

They have a worthy culture.

Not all of it.

But they have a way of life that they have lived.

I go to any place and say, your culture isn't good.

That's called colonialism.

Your culture isn't good, so I'm going to destroy your culture and impose this culture on you as a people.

That's what people are feeling.

They're feeling reverse colonialism, if you will.

You're being told your culture isn't good.

It's all bad, and they're trying to destroy it.

Well, that's happening everywhere in the Western world.

The real rub

isn't cultural.

The underlying rub

is that you can no longer control and herd people.

There are two very big industries that are being disrupted that people only look at one of them as an industry.

But you have to realize they are both industries.

One of them is the media.

The media

has done everything

to

tell all the news that's fit to print,

teach people what's right, what's wrong,

shape the country by what we report and what we don't report.

And that was a very regal job.

And a job maybe in the 1800s or the early 1900s before they started apologizing for Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin,

maybe they did a good job.

I don't know.

But people trusted them.

They were the authority in news.

All of that is being disrupted.

The Washington Post,

it's being disrupted.

And it's being destroyed.

There's a second industry that is being destroyed.

And these two industries are linking together with a third one.

And it is

what is truly going on.

It is the future of the world

unless you stand together.

All Americans, left and right, I shouldn't say that, liberal and Republican and independent.

If you're on the left or if you're quite honestly part of the corrupt right,

you're going to be part of the problem.

I'll explain in 60 seconds.

Our sponsor this half hour is Real Estate Agents I Trust.

If you're trying to sell your house,

you need the person that is not going to tell you we're going to have another open house on Saturday.

You need somebody that is coming to the plate with clients that are already visiting their website, already looking at houses, already in line for a house like yours.

You need the best real estate agent in your area, the one with the track record of selling homes on time for the most amount of money, and helping their clients find the right home in their area.

That's why I want you to go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

We've done all the vetting for you.

We also keep close track of all of these real estate agents and we're constantly updating our information.

So we have certain parameters.

If they start falling out of those parameters, we no longer recommend them.

This is a free service to you.

It's realestate agentsitrust.com.

That's realestate agentsitrust.com.

10 seconds, station ID.

The second industry

is

politics.

We have grown up in a a world to where we think politics

is

service.

I'm serving my country.

We've always known that there are corrupt people, etc., etc.

But we always still looked at it as an honorable,

noble,

at least

aspirationally,

a noble career.

It's why we treat people with respect, such respect.

Oh, senator, how are you?

Even after they're not senator, oh, senator, even after they're not president, oh, Mr.

President,

we hold that in high esteem.

That has given them the ability

to work behind the scenes and do all kinds of things and enrich themselves.

How is it that congressmen and senators and presidents go in poor

and they leave fabulously wealthy?

That's not service.

In any other industry, that would be called crime.

We would call Congress a crime family

because of all of the dealings, but they make the laws, and so they make them so they can do these things.

So they're not a crime family.

We have lost faith in everything.

By saying that

Donald Trump caused this or anybody caused this, I heard somebody describe it the other day as

taking a handful of sand and taking one piece of sand out and holding it up and saying,

that's the beach.

It's not the beach.

That's one piece of sand.

Donald Trump is not the beach.

He is not the reason.

Talk radio, not the reason.

Our crazy EDU, not the reason.

Some of the crazy people and the corrupt people in Congress, not the reason.

Marxists, not the reason.

Climate change, not the reason.

All of them them are grains of sand.

All of them.

All of the everything you can think of is the beach.

Because we no longer believe in

the institutions that honestly you and I both know they run like they're 1950.

When you do something,

look, you're going to Amazon now, not because you're a fan of Jeff Bezos or I'm a big believer, I wear the Amazon Smile t-shirt all the time.

I don't know anybody that does that.

You go to Amazon because it works and it works better than anything else.

And it is the future of the way we are going to be buying things.

And we know it not because of graft or anything else, not because of a deal they brokered with the government, but because they built a great company that doesn't work like things have been working since the days of the mercantile.

Things have changed.

We don't have trading posts, we don't have mercantiles, we are losing the mall.

Okay,

normal

change,

But this change

doesn't require you

as much as the mall did.

It doesn't require, it doesn't hire you.

And it's only going to get worse

as technology gets better.

I lead less humans.

So what do you do?

When you have

a huge change in the world, which is normal, it's compressed in about a 10-year period, not 100 or plus years, in about a 10-year period.

And the stress is only beginning, and you've unleashed people.

We've always had crazy people on our street that was like, oh, that's crazy Bob.

He lives down the corner of the street.

Just, we all avoid him.

Well, you can't now because crazy Bob, who lives on my street, you've got a crazy Tom that lives on your street, and they all all have a Facebook page now.

And

they're all connecting.

Is that good or is that bad?

I'll share both sides of that to help

describe the new world that you're living in and what the problem really is

and the solution our overlords

believe they're going to give us in just a minute.

This is the Glenback program.

All right, if you happen to be listening to this right now,

before you're going into a presentation for a Timeshare property,

don't go.

Whatever you do, don't go.

Get in the closet, take the baseball bat,

knock the handle off the door if you have to.

Don't go

now.

For anybody who attended those timeshare seminars,

how do you get out?

How do you get out of underneath that thing?

Because it's not what they promised.

It's not what you need.

It's not working out for you.

Is there any legal way out of this?

Because you signed a contract.

Actually, there is.

Timeshare termination team can help you get the process started for a legal termination of your timeshare.

Right now, you can get 20% off when you terminate your timeshare.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I want to explain the world that you're living in, not the world that we think we're living in, because the changes have already happened.

And the things we have to stop saying, I can't believe that.

The reason why we're saying that is because we think we're living in a world that was operating the way it used to.

It's not.

So stop being shocked by things.

Stop being pissed off by things.

And instead start to look at things as they really are.

Because if we look at them as

they really are, we can logically deal with it.

And we can also stop it and stop playing the game.

There are two industries I told you about, media and government, that are losing their power.

But there are other industries that have lost their credibility.

There is

really pretty much all big business.

When we say, when people say, oh, I trust business, they don't mean big business.

They don't mean GE.

They mean the business down the street, the people that they think are more like them because they know them.

You trust the business people.

in your own town.

But if I ask you,

do you trust your local, locally run,

not connected at all with any other big bank?

Do you trust that bank?

Most people would say, yeah.

If you explain to them, they're completely disconnected from anybody else.

This is a locally owned and operated bank.

Yes, I trust them.

Do you trust Citibank, Bank of America?

Nope.

So these industries are in trouble.

And they're in trouble with trust because of something I told you would happen a few years ago, which would be the beginning of the reset, or I called it the New World Order,

the trust implosion.

When people no longer trust, well, we don't trust the media, we don't trust government, we don't now trust the government's doctors,

we don't trust their preventions.

Some people don't even trust their vaccines.

And that goes two ways.

Don't tell me that I have to trust the vaccine when you told me if Donald Trump was in charge, you wouldn't trust it.

You wouldn't take it.

So don't tell me that I'm some kind of denier.

I was skeptical of it when Donald Trump was in office.

I'm skeptical of it now.

It seems to be working.

That's good.

Okay.

But don't try to jam it down my throat.

Because the more you try to jam something down people's throat, the more they push back.

All right.

And you certainly, I mean, I've had, I've had to have a scope down into my lungs once.

You haven't lived until you've done that.

Holy cow, it's worse than you think.

It's the only thing a doctor has ever said to me, this is really

going to set your whole body on fire and you will do everything.

to make this stop and you won't be able to control it.

I'm just telling you, we're going to hold you down and you just focus on this person's eyes and listen to what they're saying.

It was the longest 30 seconds of my life because some foreign object is in your lungs and your body says, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

And you fight against it.

What do they do?

He was there.

It's almost over.

It's almost over.

Relax.

I'm just counting.

We're at 15 seconds.

You're almost done.

We're at 20 seconds.

You have 10 seconds left.

Five, four.

Calming.

If you're jamming something down my throat and you're saying, and you're a bad person, and you know what?

This might last longer.

It might be worse than you think.

I might leave it in there longer.

You're not going to, you're going to fight.

You're going to fight.

And that's what big

everything

is doing.

They are doing all of the things not to calm you down.

They're doing all the things to push every button you have in you.

So why?

Why would they do that?

First, let's understand people.

Have you ever been to a local zoning board meeting and tried to, you know, I have a friend who tried to question a school.

Little teeny, little teeny neighborhood, all big trees, no two-story houses, nothing, just a small little neighborhood.

And they had a small little elementary school.

And the elementary school had a lot of land.

So they decided they're going to build a new elementary school.

Well, this thing is like two or three stories tall.

It completely decimates this neighborhood.

Why didn't you just make a bigger, why didn't you just add on to the school?

And it would have fit on the property.

It would be fine.

Why are you doing that?

Because they can.

Because they can.

If you've ever been to a local school board or you've ever been to a city council meeting or a zoning board and you disagree with them, how do they treat you?

They treat you like garbage.

Because

people get a little bit of power and they like to wield it.

Imagine what it feels like to have a lot of power.

Now imagine what people are willing to do when they think that power is going away.

Well how is it going away?

Why is it going away?

Because of extremists?

No.

Most of it is going away because of technology.

Because we now can speak to one another

instantaneously and it's not just speaking.

I can see the pictures.

I don't need Walter Cronkite

to talk to me about what was happening in Tiananmen Square.

I saw it on television, but they still had to carry it or it didn't happen.

Now, I can see what's happening in Hong Kong, and I question, why aren't they covering this?

I can see what's happening on the streets with Antifa or at the Capitol and wonder,

why aren't they covering this?

Or why are they covering it this way?

Because I have information that I never had before.

When you have information, information is power.

Knowledge is power.

If you have knowledge,

please don't talk to me about what the labor unions are doing to our school children.

Please.

There's a million reasons that's going on.

None of them are good for the children.

None of them are good for children.

So don't try to hide behind my children.

And I do believe that there is some, some,

that actually are up at the top that believe that, you know what?

Okay, so we're, we're setting people back.

We're setting these kids.

There's a four, I think it's a 4%

increase of those who will not, who will drop out of school just because of the COVID thing.

And that's the least of our worries.

4%.

Look at suicides.

I think there's some that think, you know what?

It's going to be good because they can't think already.

Knowledge

is power.

Information is power.

So you have media that has had to give up their power.

Wait a minute.

I'll tell you what's important.

Don't tell me.

That's being challenged.

Government is being challenged.

Wait a minute.

I can see see what you said, and now I can see crystal clear in real time what you just voted on, what you just did, who you're hanging out with, what you actually do.

And that's not in the right direction.

We know it now, because we can see it.

And we see it not in words, we see it in pictures.

There's nothing more powerful than a picture

or the spoken word when the speaker knows exactly what words to choose.

Pictures appeal to everyone.

Pictures lead to revolution.

The industrial revolution.

Well, it was revolutionary,

but it didn't entail a revolution,

but it should have.

Usually when the world goes through a revolution like this,

you'll have things like the European Spring,

which was caused by Karl Marx, the birth of the labor unions, and the birth of communism.

Because of the Industrial Revolution, they wanted revolution.

They saw it as the opportunity to overthrow everything that stood in their way.

The same thing is happening right now.

Corporations, where do they get their credibility?

They get their credibility from you.

Well, not really.

They used to get it from advertising,

in the media.

But that's not what gives them credibility anymore.

And in fact, the more we learn about corporations, the less we like about them, because we find out they're in bed corrupts corruptly so with government.

They're in trouble.

They need somebody to be able to cap you,

to stop you from communicating, stop you from putting pictures up or

ideas up or saying things because it's not just about you saying them.

It's about you hitting critical mass and being able to change the the world.

One man can change the world.

I believe that.

They don't.

They don't believe that you can change the world by yourself.

And they think that because they've empowered you to connect with other people, oh my gosh, what have we done?

We've given the power of information to people.

They can research themselves and they have as much power as I do at the New York Times

I said this probably 10 years ago when I got into this I had to work really hard to get this position to be able to gain an audience doesn't come with an audience you have to grow the audience

I could have said that to you and you wouldn't have ever understood necessarily what that meant you do now because my audience for the first time in human history the audience has an audience

How many people are addicted to the like button?

How many retweets did it get?

You're addicted to that.

There's no difference between that and somebody who has sold their soul for money or fame and will do anything to get that movie role or do anything to keep their job in media.

Everybody's selling their soul for likes and retweets.

That's the downside.

But the downside to them

is that who allowed you to speak?

You notice nobody's saying, who made you judge and jury on what is hate speech and who needs to be silenced?

Nobody's saying that.

Who made you king?

Instead, they're saying to you,

who gave you the right to say that?

Who gave you the right to disagree?

Why?

Because it benefits all of them in the end.

I'm only about a quarter through this.

We're going to have to pick this up, but

understand,

the world has changed.

Last night on my TV show, I started to outline, I began a chalkboard last night that is going to end up, I think, being one of the best and most important chalkboards, but you're going to have to pay attention all the way along.

I started it last night and I only added one little dot on this enormous chalkboard.

But you will understand

how the world is working once you start to see it differently.

There are pressures that want control, and it's government and

corrupt capitalism and corporations.

the way they're going to get you into that is through climate change and social justice

because they gotta play on your fears

more in a minute

all right let me tell you about life lock

you don't have to swim faster than the shark you know uh all you have to do is be able to know there

that there are no sharks where you're swimming or you have to have some sort of a harpoon where you can kill the shark before it kills you.

So, what does this have to do with lifelock?

There are sharks out there, and they are looking for your information all the time.

You need somebody that is looking at the water that you're in all the time and going, wait, wait, wait, wait, sharks.

And that was a nudge.

They're testing you right now to see if they can get in.

Or they've already bitten your leg off.

Here, let me help.

you are listening to the Glenn Beck program.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I want to give you the name of the book, a book that came out a couple of years ago that I think it's one that

you would appreciate, and it would help you understand the world we're living in now.

It's The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority.

It is

quite brilliant.

Now, it came out in 2015 or 2016.

I'm pretty sure the guy is liberal,

but

it is, it's describing what we're going through right now

and

why we're going through it.

And it's quite brilliant.

I highly recommend it.

Again, it's the revolt of the public and the crisis of authority.

I've never offered this to any author, but I know my staff is reaching out to him.

I think this book is so important, I would give him an hour.

for five days in a row to go through this.

I've never offered that to anyone before.

I doubt we even agree on politics.

And I wonder if he'd even take me up on that offer.

But what he has diagnosed as a really important

problem, he's right.

He's right.

And it ends one of two ways.

Revolution

or authoritarianism.

You know, I got in trouble a couple of weeks ago, and I wear it as a badge of honor when I repeated a phrase given to me and told to me by a good friend, Edwin Black, who is one of the greatest historians on

the Holocaust and how corporations merge with governments.

And we talked about what he dubbed

the

digital ghettos.

And I said, by silencing people, you're doing what the Germans did, but you're just doing it digitally.

You're putting people behind a wall so they can't be heard.

Well, everybody screamed and yelled until I said, Oh, by the way, I got that not from Crazy Glenn Beck, but from Edwin Black.

Talk to him.

Silence.

I'm going to take it a step further today.

We are now in the period, that illustrious period that everybody loved from Germany, when they were burning books.

We are now in a digital book burning burning era in America.

Make no mistake.

How do I know?

Let me introduce you to somebody whose book was one of the first to be thrown on the fire in 60 seconds.

All right, if you've got issues, thank you very much.

If you have issues with dry, irritated, or red, blotchy skin on your face and it won't go away, or you're struggling with stress breakouts, uneven skin tone, you don't have to worry about that anymore.

Thanks to Shamanis.

I I think you're describing the devil.

Read that again.

One of the red blaji squid.

Oh my god.

Right.

You're describing

very hot.

Irritated.

Irritated.

Yeah.

Stress breakouts.

You're describing the devil.

Well, if you're the devil, this is just for Satan.

Shamani's Zotique deep correcting serum might be for you.

Let me tell you about someone a little bit better than Satan.

Yes.

Catherine.

Catherine.

She's a doctor from Indiana.

Yeah, you do?

Yeah, I think.

You think?

I'm not sure.

She's been working on the front lines since the beginning of all of this and the endless mask wearing over the past year or so.

Basically,

she is.

Oh, I hate her.

Oh, you don't like that, huh?

I don't like her.

No.

But I wouldn't think.

Can we talk about my skin again?

Please get to the point.

She's wearing a mask.

She said it ruined her face.

She wanted to solve it.

Well, nothing worked until she tried Shamani.

Now her face is on the mend and she thanks them profoundly for it.

Well, obviously, Catherine, unlike Satan, thank you for all the work you've done over the past year.

I want to just tell you who my next guest is by just saying this.

He has made appearances on ABC, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, and Fox News.

His work has appeared in the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and his research has been cited by two U.S.

Supreme Court justices in two Supreme Court cases.

He received his bachelor degree from Princeton and his doctoral degree from the University of

Notre Dame.

Yeah, that's the problem, I guess.

He's a religious zealot.

Everything else was going fine until that Catholic university was introduced.

He is the author of the book When Harry Became Sally.

It came out a few years ago and was controversial at the time, and then that that blew over.

Amazon has just dropped it.

They will no longer sell it because they have deemed it a hate book.

And they said they are going to start culling through their libraries to see and make sure they're not selling books of hate.

The author of When Harry Became Sally, Ryan Anderson.

Hello, Ryan.

How are you?

Doing well.

Thanks for having me on.

So, first of all, when did you find out your book was being burned by Amazon?

You know, Sunday afternoon,

someone who was trying to buy the book reached out to me and was like, it's no longer on Amazon.

You know, I thought to myself, what are you talking about?

Like, it's been on Amazon for over three years now.

And so I, you know, pull up my Amazon app on my smartphone and it's not there.

And the Kindle book's not there.

The hardback's not there.

The paperback's not there.

The audio book's not there.

You can't even get a used copy.

I mean, they entirely scrubbed it from their website with no advance notice.

A publisher reached out immediately.

We only heard back from Amazon late Tuesday afternoon, and all they'll say is that it violates their content policy.

They won't tell us what aspects of the content policy.

They won't tell us which page, you know, which sentence, you know, where did the book hurt your feelings?

Nothing.

It's a black box.

So what are you going to do about that?

So right now

we're trying to raise as much publicity about this as possible to get people aware, having people contact Amazon

out of the goodness of their heart.

They're all in state the book, probably not.

Yesterday, four senators, Senator Rubio, Lee, Holly, and Braun, sent a letter to Jeff Bezos asking for an explanation.

But beyond that, this is

a downside of an entirely unregulated big tech industry where Amazon put out of business a lot of small and independent booksellers.

They gained this giant market prominence, and now they can use their market power in ways that are destructive to

readers, authors, publishers.

So, Ryan,

if you bought the book on Kindle,

did they pull it from your library?

No, which is important.

They haven't

done that.

You just can no longer buy it on Kindle.

Right.

So

if you've already purchased the book, they're not going to take it back from you, whether it was a physical copy or an electric company.

Yeah.

Yet.

They have done that in the past.

Wow.

I wasn't even aware of that.

Yeah.

What is the, what was that book?

A Million Pieces?

It was the Oprah book of the year.

A million little pieces or something.

And

they said that

it was plagiarism on part of it or something like that.

But they pulled it in the middle of the night without anybody knowing.

And it caused a real uproar because that's my book.

I paid for that.

How can you go into my Kindle app and take something I paid for?

And the user agreement allows them to do it.

Yeah, basically.

So be careful.

Yeah, be careful.

Did they issue refunds?

No,

I don't remember.

I don't think so.

The user agreement almost reads like you're renting the book.

Right.

It does.

Yeah, that's right.

Because we've talked to an attorney who said the biggest lawsuit, class action lawsuit, should be against these, you know, Apple and Kindle, who you're buying these titles from.

It says buy now.

Yeah, buy now.

Well, you're buying the title, but if Disney decides to pull that title from the Amazon library, it disappears in your library.

And a lot of that has to do with rights issues more than this sort of thing, which is far more egregious.

You're burning books.

I mean, this is something I thought we all united on.

This is a bad idea.

And I think they're getting away with it.

I'd love to hear your take on this.

I think they can get away with it, Ryan, because they don't actually have to stand in the parking lot and make an example of your book and burn it.

There's no visuals of anybody just hitting delete.

That's a great point.

And the Babylon B had a great article about, you know, Amazon will now let you do a digital book burning.

And it's amazing when satire becomes reality.

I know.

To my mind, like, this suggests

that

the conservative response of, well, it's a private business, it it can do whatever it wants.

That's true to a certain extent, but it's not always true, right?

If it was like one brick-and-mortar store that wouldn't sell a book, fine, there are other brick-and-mortar stores.

But if all the brick-and-mortar stores got together and said, we're not going to sell a book, right, that looks more like a monopoly, right?

And if one individual seller that has, someone told me, and I need to check to see if the stat is accurate, but someone had tweeted out 83% of all U.S.

book sales are through Amazon.

I believe that.

If that's the case, when they drop a title,

the impact of that, and it's a chilling effect, right?

Because someone like me,

I am prominent enough within the conservative world that, you know, you can book me as a guest.

You heard about this.

How many authors will have their books canceled that none of us will ever hear about?

Oh, yeah.

How many titles?

And then for a publisher, how many publishers are going to say, we just shouldn't even publish on that topic out of fear that Amazon will then drop the title?

This has a chilling chilling effect on the entire industry.

So tell me about the book and why it is so controversial.

Well, I think it's controversial precisely because it's not a bomb-throwing book.

It's not a hate book.

It's a kind of like mild-mannered, calm philosophy, science, medicine book exposing all of the lies that are being told about gender dysphoria.

So

I haven't read your book, but I talked to somebody who did, and they said it's actually a really loving book.

It approaches it in a way where it's like,

these people are bad.

It's not that at all.

It's you're really compassionately talking about it.

Thank you.

I mean,

that is exactly what I strove to do.

Like it was three and a half years ago that I was finishing the book.

It was published three years ago.

And the idea was.

People with gender dysphoria, a gender identity conflict, they are victims.

They are suffering.

They didn't choose to experience this and they're not faking it, but they are being disserved by the medical professional community that has bought into a woke ideology that's telling them that, you know, your path to happiness is puberty blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones, and a double mastectomy.

And that's not true.

And aren't the stats, don't the stats show that after that's done, a very high percentage of people with dysphoria fall right back into depression and

problems because

it didn't cure what they thought it was going to cure.

That's exactly right.

And the book, it's chapter and verse, you know, footnote after footnote after footnote of all of the studies that show that.

And since, I mean, and the book came out three years ago, since the book came out, there have only been more and more studies revealing this.

And I think that's precisely why it's so threatening to the left, right?

They can't win on the merit, so they have to shut down the conversation.

so what this is even more frightening than just book burning because this isn't you know they're pulling from the libraries now to kill a mockingbird that's insanity it's insanity um

but this book is also about medicine this is about

clinical studies

about mental health and what you put into your body for physical health and mental health.

we cannot come to a place to where we can't disagree on something like medicine.

Remember, medicine not too many years ago was drilling holes in people's heads to relieve the spirits in their head because they had a headache.

So please, what are we doing?

This is a medical book, is it not?

Yeah, so I mean,

there's several chapters about the medicine of this.

There's several several chapters about the science.

There's several chapters about the philosophy and the law.

It's meant to be comprehensive.

And what I would add to what you just said is that the saddest conversations I have had have been with parents who placed their children on cross-sex hormones, allowed their children to have surgery because the doctors told them

that's what was in the best interest of their child.

And then only a couple of years later did they realize the mistake.

By limiting the sale of a book like this, we're limiting the ability of parents to inform themselves about what's actually in the best interest of their child.

And it means how many more children are going to go through these misguided procedures because they couldn't get all of the facts, right?

When you shut down a conversation like this, you do a digital book burning, there are going to be real life consequences.

Ryan, I hate to ask you this, but I have to because I haven't read your book.

Is there anything in it like, you know,

pray the gay away?

Is there anything like that in this book that would cause offense to, you know, people that people like me could go, oh, geez, why would you put that in there?

Nothing at all.

Nothing even remotely close.

And just, I mean, so our listeners, oh, the book was endorsed by the former psychiatrist in chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital, from a professor of psychology at NYU, from a professor of neuroscience at Boston University, professor of law at Harvard Law School, professor of philosophy at Princeton University.

Like, this is not a fringe book.

This is not a conspiracy theory book, which says that if a book like this can be canceled from Amazon, no one's books are safe.

I will tell you, though, when I heard about this Monday, I immediately thought,

how am I ever going to publish another book?

Because,

you know,

if I'm quoting stats and I'm quoting these things in my book and Amazon decides they don't agree with that and they think that's dangerous for whatever reason and they don't have to explain themselves,

what chance do I have of putting books on Amazon?

It is.

Go ahead.

And that is what every

book author and book publisher is now asking themselves.

And so you can see the chilling effect.

Again, if it was just like one local bookstore, right, you have some like left-wing progressive bookstore that won't sell your book or my book, no one would care because we can have a market.

But when the entity that controls the market starts censoring books, it will impact the entire book publishing, writing, and reading process.

Ryan, how much of a factor is it that if you're going to write another book on a similar topic, there would be an incentive incentive and a temptation to self-edit before you released it.

Now, I think you probably, at the end of the day, are going to say what you want to say and damn the consequences.

But there's a chilling effect for people before these books even get out there.

I mean, it's editing our speech before the speech happens.

Yep.

I think what you're going to see is that authors are going to say, let's say you're writing a book about political correctness.

And, you know, originally one of your chapters was going to be about transgender issues.

I think think a lot of authors and publishers and agents are going to say, why don't we skip that chapter?

Oh, yeah.

That's the impact.

And this is also, this has been happening on university campuses for a while.

The reason that I'm at a think tank and not at a university is the think tank provides me with the freedom to tell the truth on these issues in the way that I can't tell you the number of tenured professors who have privately, confidentially reached out to me to say, thank you for what you're saying.

I agree entirely.

But if I ever said it, I'm afraid I'd lose tender.

This is not.

It's unbelievable.

Go ahead.

It's exporting the campus insanity that we've seen

into the entire

Amazon world.

And Amazon controls almost everything.

All right.

Ryan, thank you so much.

If you wouldn't hold, if you wouldn't mind holding for just a couple of minutes, I want to ask you something off the air.

Ryan Anderson, the book is When Harry Became Sally.

I would highly recommend that you write write to Amazon

and Jeff Bezos and you send them an email, but no better.

Tweet at Jeff Bezos very kindly, very professionally, why

was this book removed and when are you now starting to censor all books?

We need to know an answer.

And tweet, Jeff Bezos and Amazon.

Somebody has to hold their feet to the fire or it will pass and they will learn a lesson that they can do anything.

Thanks so much, Ryan.

Let me tell you about Bilt Bar.

It's day 56 of my weight loss regime.

Dear diary.

How's this going, by the way?

I keep getting all these updates.

You don't give a pounds loss or anything.

Well,

yesterday I spent the evening down in my secret lab working on my time machine.

And

when it's finished, I'm just going to go back in time to my younger self, knock him out, then attempt a brain transplant where I can steal his body and come back thin.

And I thought you were working on like pseudoscience or something, but this seems to be a lot of fun.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

And I'm certainly not working on exercise or anything like that.

Unproven.

You know, I would go back and say, hey, you should eat less pizza, but that's not going to work.

I could bring him a box of built bars, which he would really like.

My wife came in yesterday.

Well, you came to my house last night and you brought extra built bars.

Yep.

And they're just fantastic.

And we were just talking about them

because my wife apparently doesn't listen to the show.

And she ordered a bunch of the chocolate brownie coconut crunch or whatever that is.

And I've been raving about how great they are.

And I said, oh, good.

You brought my box in.

Somebody brought my box in from work.

And she said, No, I ordered these.

I wanted to know if you've ever seen them or tasted them because they're delicious.

And I'm like, thanks for listening to the show.

Anyway, builtbar.com.

I

want to to

urge you

this week to do something that, you know, in some days past you might have thought was crazy, but I think you'll understand it now.

We are burning to disc every news story that I have presented on the air over the last year and a half.

We're burning them all to discs now.

We have all of the links, but I am not convinced that those links will always exist, and I want the actual story

because

I am going to chronicle what is happening to America and how it happened in all the news that people didn't see.

May I suggest that when you have things, that you print them out, but more importantly, I want to talk to you specifically about books in the coming days.

This week, please print out the Declaration of Independence, the first draft and the last draft, not just the text, but also the images of it, the Bill of Rights, not just the text, but the images of it,

and the Constitution.

Do those things first.

Every

home should have a copy that you don't have to go online for.

Do it now, please.

This is the Glenback program.

Gosh, I.

I wish

none of this had happened.

I wish this wasn't going the way that we've been talking about for so long, but it is.

Let me talk to you about something else that just seems crazy, but it is happening.

The dollar is not going to last,

and

it is going to be by design at this point.

We are spending so much money.

We printed 26%

more dollar bills than

we had printed really ever.

We are now printing the only one that comes close is the year 1944.

This is not going to last.

It's not.

Please call Goldline now and protect your retirement portfolio before it's too late.

Call Goldline, find out why allocating just 20% of your retirement portfolio in precious metals is a prudent and wise investment.

Also, talk to them about the 6% of promotional metals that'll be delivered to you with your purchase of self-directed IRA 401 or other retirement accounts.

It's goldline.com, 966, 866, Goldline.

866 Goldline.

All right, back in a second with more.

Go to Blazetv.com/slash Glenn to subscribe to Blaze TV.

Get over it.

Welcome to the.

Oh, it's so cold in here.

It's cold.

It's freezing all the time.

Same cool.

All the time.

Oh, well, nice to see you, Karen.

So

welcome to the program.

Now, my definition of candy may not be everybody's mental candy.

I mean, candy for me used to be Jack Daniels.

Sure.

It's not anymore.

So

how do I relax myself now?

Little candy, today it's called...

The Andrew Cuomo sex scandal.

I mean, nothing's going to relax me more than saying just those words to Stu and then say, go.

This is fun.

Lindsay Boylan.

Lindsay Boylan.

She is a woman who was working in close contact in various roles

near Andrew Cuomo.

Was their relationship up and down?

Their relationship was a bit up and down.

Okay.

Mostly down.

Mostly down.

Okay.

Yes.

She

multiple times

was made to feel very uncomfortable by Andrew Cuomo.

Sure.

And not in the normal way that most American or other humans do every time they hear him speak.

I don't know what you're saying.

I'm just saying maybe a little

hanky-panky going on.

No, so it was a little more than that.

America's dumbest governor.

Yes.

The man who.

The dumbest mob governor.

Yes.

Well, he's America's dumbest mobster.

Yes, thank you.

Yes.

All right, good.

He had her, Lindsey Boylan was working with her a couple times.

There was one time they were on a private jet.

And Glenn,

we've had some tours over the years where we've been able to partake, dip our foot in the little, you know, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian world.

Yes, and be on the private.

Oh, those are the days they don't come back.

Freaking expensive.

Anyway, so apparently not too expensive for Andrew Cuomo, who has to fly around a private jet all the time.

Odd, considering he believes there's an existential threat from global warming.

Odd that he's also a politician in a private jet.

Yeah, it's very strange.

Very strange.

You know, you remember they have these, you know, especially the smaller jets, they have the seating is a lot of times you face each other.

And

you're sitting very close to each other.

Your knees are almost touching.

Yes.

Apparently, Andrew manifested this situation a little bit with Lindsay.

Also, at that time, asked her to play strip poker, which is not normally what you would do with an underling in a situation like that.

I wouldn't do it with an overling either.

No, it's probably a good idea to avoid that sort of behavior altogether.

He, of course, back in 2018, made a very public statement, Glenn, that everyone who, every, everyone, every woman should be believed.

Every woman should be believed.

Of course.

And

there should be an immediate, I believe, immediate investigation done by an independent,

outsourced sort of organization to make sure we get to the bottom of all these.

Why would he say that and then also suggest strip poker?

It's either she's lying or he just thinks he's so privileged, he'll end up on top.

Well, he definitely wanted to end up on top.

I think that was a big part of the issue.

So he also

would do things just that creeped her out,

touching her back and her legs often.

But that happens.

That happens.

Well, sometimes I guess.

Sarah, Sarah, how many times have I touched your legs?

In 20 plus years, we've been, you're a very attractive woman.

We're friends.

I feel close to you.

Oh, wow.

How many times have I touched your legs?

Zero.

No, but what about that time?

Yeah.

There was a strip poker invitation.

Yeah, that's right.

And then I remember it being followed by a vomiting session.

So, yes, okay.

All right, go ahead.

So, he went down this road.

It was not comfortable,

apparently, for her.

She got to the point where her boss was relaying messages from Andrew Cuomo

that Andrew Cuomo had a crush on her.

Also,

said So it was like

hey,

number two, come on in here for a second.

I got a crush on this girl, and

I was going to pass her this note, but it'd be better if you did.

It just says, do you like Andrew Cuomo?

Check yes or no.

I mean, it wasn't that sophisticated, but it was something like, all right, okay, okay.

He was also, he said, again, was passing messages through layers of management here, where he would tell her boss.

You want to talk about how arrogant.

Oh, my gosh.

Arrogant and just

demeaning to the woman, obviously.

But I'm just saying, on one level, imagine the feeling that you are so bold.

So untouchable that you could tell multiple people,

I want to have sex with her.

Yeah, I mean, he didn't say it.

Well, at least we don't know that he said it like that.

It was passed on at one point.

He had a rumored girlfriend because, you know, he's the love gov.

If you remember Chris Cuomo saying how attractive he was, his brother was, on CNN during the middle of the pandemic as thousands of people were dying.

He made sure to make that point.

Well, it does drive a transam though, so get in.

Anyway, so he said he had a rumored girlfriend named Lisa Shields.

Lisa Shields, it was a big, sort of splashy media type of

rumored romance.

He passed through multiple layers of management to Lindsey Boylan.

He governor said that look up Lisa Shields.

You could be sisters, except you're the better-looking sister to this woman.

He then...

Let's be honest.

Sarah,

how many times have I sent you a picture of my wife and said, you two could be twins, except you're the better-looking one?

Just an estimate.

What?

Zero.

Zero.

Plus or minus.

Zero.

Okay.

Okay.

Plus or minus zero.

That's pretty exact.

Yeah.

Now.

I thought I was better to you than this.

Cuobo also then

showed off a cigar box

in a way that made her believe it was a Monica Lewinsky.

Oh, that's there's nothing better than the old Clinton callback.

Yep.

He also would invite her to random events that she didn't belong at at all to just try to get near her.

Again, this is her telling of the story.

We, of course, believe here, innocence until proven guilt.

And then he also eventually got her alone in a private setting, which was something she points out her mom warned against allowing to occur.

And as she tried to escape the situation,

he awkwardly stood up in front of her and

kissed her on the lips, something she was not

interested in.

He's got a lot in common with

Joe Biden.

Because that's what he did.

Remember, he was

like, and you've got a bright future.

Remember that?

Nothing like getting kissed on the lips with someone with dentures is always a good.

Oh, it's great when they're floating around in there.

Hopefully, they're just attached.

Point being that there's no, there's not Harvey Weinstein level stuff in the allegation.

It's just the type of thing, the type of thing that gets you fired if Andrew Cuomo's making the judgments and you happen to be a conservative.

And she goes on, you know, she lists.

It's not like he was killing anybody's grandma.

No, no, that doesn't get you fired if Andrew Cuomo's making the judgments.

That gets you a book deal is what it gets you.

This is instead an allegation.

She also points out she is certain there are others.

She knows who they are and what they are alleging, although they are not, it's not her story to tell, essentially, is her point.

But this is the type of thing came out in December initially.

She tweeted about it.

He was asked about it.

Cuomo was asked about it one time and denied it.

Now, I don't know why this woman wouldn't be believed, but I guess that's the rule now.

And then she's now come out with this again, and there's more pressure on Cuomo.

I will say, and I don't like to be optimistic, particularly in 2020 or 2021.

Yeah.

But it does seem like the tide is turning a little bit on Andrew Cuomo in the media, in his approval rating,

in just the general tone of coverage in a big way.

People are starting to notice that he is essentially the worst human being on earth.

And that's just science saying that I'm not, that's not my judgment.

There's a scientific study from, I think it was Rutgers.

Anyway, bottom line is: Cuomo seems to be in a little bit of trouble.

And as the dumbest governor in America and the dumbest mobster in America, that's exactly where he should be.

That wasn't quite the candy I was looking for.

I was looking for a little bit more,

you know, of the stew.

Just,

I think this guy is a worthless piece of skin.

I was looking for that stew.

I didn't get it.

So maybe,

maybe we go here for a little candy.

It appears

someone has had a brainstorm in our next edition of.

Yes, no

Sherlock.

Here is

from the New York Times.

The New York Times liberal columnist.

The top liberal

columnist

for the New York Times has now blamed Democrats for the harm being inflicted on millions of the nation's children by a year of school closures.

Nicholas Christoph suggests that many Democrats may

have been blinded by

their anger and their hatred towards Donald Trump.

And that has led them that possibly

politics may have played a role

in the coronavirus restrictions.

What?

Yeah, yeah.

Which, of course, makes me say.

All right.

I mean, sometimes it's 80.

Other times it's one.

It was 80 yesterday.

80 the day before.

Last week it was one.

It's negative two as well.

It's now, what, 50 degrees here in Texas?

We have all the degrees here in Texas.

We do.

Well, let's see what people will put up with in their Attorney General.

The Attorney General of South Dakota, Christy Nome State,

apparently had a little problem with his car.

Now, his story was, I hit a deer

and

I just kept driving home.

And then the next morning, I thought, maybe that wasn't a deer.

And I went back to check.

Now,

I have hit like a bird before and a squirrel.

And I don't know if I killed them.

And I don't know if really was a bird or really was a squirrel, but I've never gotten up the next day and thought, you know, I should go back and check.

But he did.

He went back and he wanted to check and that's when he realized, oh, that was a person.

Okay, all right, maybe

he didn't know.

The problem is, is his front windshield was shattered

and the man's glasses that he was wearing that he hit

ended up in his car

so at some point the man or at least his face was inside looking at the attorney general when his glasses fell off

so it doesn't really work uh but where am i missing uh what am i missing here stew i mean uh

you know

not that much.

I mean, the person died, so it was

a really terrible situation.

Well, he might have lived.

I don't know.

He might have lived if the Attorney General didn't think the deer that apparently was wearing glasses, you know, was alive, you know, and would have called, you know, for the deer ambulance.

One of the one bit of as you tell the story, the one thing they, he didn't realize the glasses were in the car, which is, I guess, part of the dramatic video as they were interrogating him.

They said, so what kind kind of glasses do you wear?

They discussed that, and the attorney general, you know, went back and forth with him.

And then they said, well, whose glasses are these?

And they were found in the car.

I should read the actual quote because

the quote is, I would say, not helpful.

This is a little tip for you out there.

You happen to run someone over and the police find

the person you run over glasses in your car.

Try not to respond this way.

Okay.

The police officer says, they're Joe's glasses.

This is the guy who died.

So that means his face came through your windshield, an investigator tells him, who lets out an obvious gasp and then said, I wondered about that.

Now, I wondered about what?

The deer's glasses?

No.

Why there was a face in my windshield when I hit a deer?

What were you wondering exactly?

Now, who knows with the media and everything else?

I mean, there could be other.

I don't know what the story would be.

I will say that Christy Noam has looked over the evidence.

They're both Republicans, and she's now issued a statement in response to the conclusion of the investigation calling for the Attorney General to step down.

Which I think is totally appropriate.

He's not guilty.

He's not been tried.

It doesn't look good,

but I'm not a hit a deer go-home ophthalmologist kind of guy that might have deer glasses in my front seat.

So I don't know.

It doesn't look good,

but he's not been convicted.

He should step down and devote full time.

I would classify the entire incident to be suboptimal.

Suboptimal.

Suboptimal.

So there's optimal.

Yeah, so I just want to see what the people of South Dakota, common sense ground, what are they willing to put up with?

Are you going to demand that,

oh, that's going to look bad?

Or

not.

If he turns out that he's innocent, great.

Put him back in office.

But

maybe he should devote himself full time to a stronger defense.
