Come into your local store today.
First, let me tell you about rough greens.
My dog, Uno, we love.
And first, we married him off to, and I mean this literally and figuratively, a bitch.
And
he was really unhappy.
And really unhappy.
That was an arranged marriage.
It was an arranged marriage.
It was a forced marriage.
And ooh, it was not pretty.
Anyway,
now that she's dead, he's happy.
But then we started feeding him rough greens and he has changed as a dog.
I mean, literally changed.
I sat down yesterday on the couch, and he just would not stop bringing his ball.
And he's so frisky and fun.
And it's because of rough greens.
Has probiotics in it, all the things that your wife yells at you about, you know, make sure you're going to have to eat it.
It's all that in the dog bowl.
It's not a dog food.
You just put it on top.
It's an additive.
Try it for two weeks.
Make sure your dog will eat it.
Then get your rough greens and give it to him.
And I'm telling you, month after month, you will see huge differences.
It's RUFF Greens, R-U-F-F-Greens, or RoughGreens.com.
What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
We may have passed the point of no return when it comes to
big tech: Google, Facebook, Twitter.
Yesterday, there was a hearing, and senators from both parties confronted the CEOs of Twitter, Facebook, and Google.
We have a recap on that and why so many people are, in my opinion, just flat out wrong on it.
We'll go there in 60 seconds.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Such an important question that we are facing.
I mean, everything that we're facing right now is beginning of freedom or end of freedom.
More in just a second.
If,
you know, if you take ibuprofen, I guess there are
certain things that it helps.
It's never helped.
Has ibuprofen ever helped you?
Have you ever taken ibuprofen and they're like, oh, I'm going to give you the 800 ibuprofen?
Well, you're talking about 800.
That's the big stuff.
That's the big stuff.
That's like, no, no, I can't get addicted to that stuff.
I've been mainlining.
I've been shooting ibuprofen 800 into my veins and my eyes now for a while because I fall.
My veins have collected ibuprofen 800.
Anyway,
I am not a big believer in
things like ibuprofen that reduce your
inflammation.
That's why, one of the reasons why I didn't take Relief Factor for a long time.
And I ran out of excuses and I ran out of options.
Finally, my wife said, I'm not going to listen to your wine anymore.
We don't just try everything.
So I tried it begrudgingly.
And I went into it with a bad attitude.
It's not going to work.
I took it for three weeks.
I didn't tell her that I was actually feeling feeling some effects.
And because I had dismissed it, I'm like, it's not the ibuprofen.
This stuff just reduces inflammation.
It's not that.
And then I stopped taking it.
And I had to go to my wife and say,
I think I should probably order some more Relief Factor.
And I've been taking it now three times a day for almost three years.
And it is, it's changed my life.
Go to relieffactor.com or call 800-500-8384.
800-500-8384.
It's relieffactor.com.
All right.
So senators from both parties confronted the CEOs of Twitter and Facebook and Google at the Section 230 big tech hearing.
I don't think anything was.
Do you think anything was accomplished still?
No,
not really.
They're trying.
Everybody involved was excessively prepared, except for Jack Dorsey.
I think he spent more time making sure that his nose ring looked good on...
Nose ring.
throw up
nose ring you don't have a nose ring no i don't and his foo man chu beard stop it just stop it
so that morning i mean he found himself in the hot seat because that morning on the front page of the wall street journal page a1 was a story about how a feckless dorsey was essentially ambushed by his own company when with little expect explanation the platform he leads just began blocking its millions of users from sharing links to a pair of New York Post stories about Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden.
Within hours, lawmakers said they would subpoena Mr.
Dorsey to explain his decision, but it wasn't his decision.
His company did it without him even knowing.
Maybe, I mean, maybe he was getting his nose pierced that day.
So he was fighting off embarrassment.
Just a few days ago, he rightfully criticized his own company for their poor response to the Hunter Biden story but he's trying he was trying to have it both ways now Democrats bemoan the fact that the hearing was being held less than a week before the election as if they were actually doing any campaigning or anything else they kept up their usual gaslighting accusing conservatives of being unstoppable conspiracy theorists really
Really?
You know what's weird?
Last night we put something up on YouTube and it outperformed on YouTube live.
As we're doing it, it outperformed all of our other videos that we've posted on YouTube.
And then suddenly, like all the views stopped.
It's just like it's
just all the people that wanted to watch it watched it live.
They were all set.
They were all set.
No one else needed to tune in.
Not another soul that people were sharing it and everybody said, nope, I don't want to watch that.
That's a well-targeted video right there.
You got everybody, everybody on it.
Yeah,
it's weird.
Mike Lee, who's joining us in about an hour, was a bulldog.
Ted Cruz, I think, was like Zorro jumping off his horse, carving a Z just underneath the
nose ring.
Senator Marcia Blackburn, fresh off the Amy Coney Barrett hearings, even fresher than she was last week.
But here's what it was really about.
The
figurative public execution didn't happen because everybody was
too well prepared.
It was less of a Senate hearing and more of a a peek into like, I don't know, New York City.
Everything was boarded up, you know, and ultimately you're walking around going, oh, okay, what happened here?
Where do we go next?
You know, it used to be something that liberals were concerned about.
These giant corporations just taking over.
Now it seems like you're a conspiracy theory if you believe everything the left ever said prior to like 1999.
Now they're no problem.
Do you remember the flags with the corporations on the flag?
And they're like, it's the United Corporations of America.
Remember that?
There are only three stars on that flag now:
Google, Twitter,
Facebook.
They control so much of America.
The hearing
focused mainly on Dorsey and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Mark Zuckerberg always comes off the way he's come off to me in person.
It's like, I really want to help.
I really don't.
I just, this is wrong, isn't it, Senator?
Man, can you just tell me what to do?
I think Mark Zuckerberg is playing a longer game of
Jack Dorsey being the jerk.
Mark Zuckerberg is going to be the good guy that way he has a seat at the table to try to design you know some common sense regulations that's what's really going on here
going into the 2020 election social media CEOs have been worried about a hack and leak data dump of hacked material that goes viral on their platforms like Gussifer 2.0 in 2016.
Those were the Democratic National Committee numbers and emails.
Facebook and Twitter nervous about an October surprise, a last-minute dump of leaked documents that had the potential to sway the election.
Well, we got that, except they're not leaked documents.
We have all kinds of documents.
In fact, we have all kinds of witnesses that have the same documents.
We know they're true.
Nobody wants to report on them.
And what does that say?
That they hate Donald Trump so much that they will take somebody who, quite honestly
you could make the case
betrayed his country
joe biden if this stuff is real and i believe we have enough evidence to maybe not convict i think we do but maybe not convict but there's at least at least a sh a grand jury would be convened if it was anybody else a grand jury would be convened and i believe they'd go to prison
he betrayed the nation and nobody seems to care.
I keep waiting for somebody to drop the hammer on these guys, but they're not going to drop the hammer on them.
They're all getting too much money.
I don't think Mike Lee and I don't think Ted Cruz are getting money, but too many people in Congress on both sides of the aisle are getting money from Google and Facebook and Twitter.
And what they did, what they're talking about now is an extortion racket.
Even Harpers said that.
The left.
Big tech extortion racket.
Remarkably, the author compared the fight against big tech to the Boston Tea Party, which
I understand and I think you're probably right, but I want to focus on something that John Tester said yesterday.
He's from Montana.
John Tester called big tech the unregulated wild west that needs to be dealt with.
The problem is, first of all, I mean, most of it was babbling incoherently.
I mean, it was, I had a better chance of understanding a full speech of Joe Biden than Tester yesterday.
Made no sense.
First of all, you're from the West.
What are you talking about?
The unregulated Wild West.
People in the West like the fact that it's not regulated.
But he was trying to make this sound like there's a, you know, there's, there's just shootouts all the time.
You know what?
The Wild West, if you remember, all of the stories of the Wild West were because there was one outlaw
and no one could stand against them.
There's one guy that has all of the money, all of the power, or he's just an outlaw with a big gang and no one can do anything about it.
And he sets all of the rules and he suppresses and he hurts and he steals from everybody.
And no one has the guts to take him on.
It's It's high noon.
Do you remember high noon?
Listen to this.
The judges left town, Harvey's quit, and I'm having trouble getting deputies.
People got to talk themselves into law and order before they do anything about it.
Maybe because down deep, they don't care.
They just don't care.
I think you better go while there's still time.
It's better for you, and it's better for us.
Amy.
I mean it.
If you won't go with me now, I'll be on that train when it leaves here.
I've got to stay.
Why must you be so stupid, Will?
Have you forgotten what he is?
Have you forgotten what he's done to people?
Have you forgotten that he's crazy?
Don't you remember when he sat in that chair and said, You'll never hang me, I'll come back.
I'll kill you, Will Kane.
I swear it, I'll kill you.
A terror-stricken town left him to face four killers
single-handed, alone.
That's what's happening:
Jack Dorsey
and Twitter, Zuckerberg and Facebook,
Google and their algorithms.
They're nothing but street gangs that have come to our town posing as a friend
and now
are trying to run our town, trying to tell us what we can believe in, what we can't believe in.
And no one is willing to stand up because they've either been bought off
or they are standing alone and no one will join them because everybody's too afraid.
I truly believe courage is contagious and I know I'm not alone in saying this.
Come and get me.
You are not going to frighten me into silence.
I will speak as long as I have a voice.
I'm not afraid of the government.
I am not afraid of social media.
I am not afraid of death.
I've made my choice on who I serve.
And my king believes in freedom of speech.
My king believes that each of us are an individual.
My king understands individual salvation and not paying for the sins of others.
My king teaches me love.
My king teaches me common respect for the law.
But my king
suffered and died
and was whipped and scourged and mocked by the law
and even by those
who followed God's law.
Come what may,
I will give my children and my grandchildren a legacy they can be proud of.
That when the bullies came to town,
I stood,
even if I have to stand alone, which I know I won't have to,
because there are millions of us.
It's more than just you and me.
Our sponsor this half hour
is

Wells Fargo now is warning they have a message for their investors.
Buckle up.
The head of macro strategy warned that Wednesday's market turbulence may be a preview of what is ahead.
When you think about the U.S.
elections, COVID worsening, and all sorts of other news items coming out in the next couple of weeks, it could be a fairly scary time for investors.
I completely agree.
Please, please do the things that you need to do to be prepared for whatever may come your way.
You know,
we have some good news on the economy.
We're going to give you that coming up.
This is the kind of thing, you remember when the press was saying how many jobs were saved or created?
How could the government possibly count jobs that were saved?
I mean, it wasn't even possible.
We just got economic news that the annualized GDP for the third quarter is the highest ever on record.
It's up 33%.
That's the highest jump ever.
Now, we came from a stalled economy and almost a completely shut off economy, but it's coming back.
And
who do you trust to bring the economy back?
The guy who has done it or the guy who said it couldn't be done in 2016?
The guy who says, let's encourage people to create jobs?
Or the person who says, I need more regulation on companies and businesses.
I mean, I've never seen, have used to, a choice as clear as this.
And this is his best argument, right?
Him, President Trump talking about the economy.
I think he had
a signal that this was going to be a really good quarter.
We all knew it was going to be a big number, but it performed well, and we're going back
toward normal, we hope.
But like,
this is the thing he needs to be focusing on, right?
This is his best argument.
You know, even through all of the worst times of his approval rating, the worst times of his COVID handling, all of the things that dropped in the polls, rarely ever did
his handling of the economy drop near those levels.
And in fact, he's ahead of Biden in almost every poll on that metric.
So I just keep thinking that when people go into the voting booth, that they
look at the economy and they look at where they were before COVID and ask themselves,
can he do it again?
Or should I trust Biden?
And I just can't imagine it.
But
I have no idea anymore.
I don't know who the American people are.
I think if people were actually going through the process you just described, they would pick Trump.
The problem is they're not going through that process.
They're just picking, do I like Trump or do I not like Trump?
That's insane.
You know, they're not considering Biden.
I mean, this is a one-person election.
It is completely a referendum on Trump and whether people want four more years of him or not.
And, you know, look,
you can't do it that way.
You should be thinking about what's going to happen if you say no to Trump.
What does a presidency of Joe Biden actually look like?
And, you know, it's not going to be one.
where we hit our economic potential.
I mean,
it's almost impossible to argue that side.
You know, you saw the show last night that I did at 9 o'clock.
It's on YouTube.
It's also available at Blazetv.com.
It was my Wednesday night special, and it was on the first 100 days.
And I showed you the answer to the questions that they won't answer.
Are they going to pack the court?
Are they going to
add states?
Are they going to get rid of the filibuster?
And I showed you where these ideas came from and how long they've been in the works and who's involved in all of these things and how the media started spinning these things a long time ago, right two weeks after the election.
They started spinning the Electoral College thing.
And now, I think it's 68% of Americans believe we shouldn't have the Electoral College.
Do you understand what the Electoral College does?
If you're living in a big city, you probably don't care because everything is regulated and it's good for you.
But you should not dictate what happens in Nebraska.
You should not dictate what happens on farms, etc., etc.
You can't dominate.
That is majority rule.
Majority rule always leads to tyranny.
What happened to America Loves the Little Guy?
What happened to that?
We've lost our heritage, our history, and we've lost all of our principles.
This is the last grab for the golden ring.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
I was talking to you just a minute ago about the toolbox of Norton.
In the toolbox of Norton 360, you can put Life Lock.
Your identity matters a lot to you.
It also means a lot to cyber criminals.
There's some jerk out there that would be more than happy living your best life, giving you
the opportunity to live their life.
It's why it's vital you don't give them this opportunity.
You have to be really careful on how you do business and do things online.
It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives.
Now, Norton 360 is that toolbox.
The same company has Lifelock, and you put this into that toolbox and you have everything covered.
Now, nobody can ran all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but LifeLock can see the threats that you might miss on your own.

Welcome to Mr.
Pat Gray, who does Pat Gray Unleashed, a podcast that he records on Blaze Radio Network and TV shortly before this program airs.
And he is also heard wherever you get your podcast.
Welcome, Pat.
Thank you.
It's good to be here.
Blessed.
How does it feel, Pat, to be in the presence of a doctor?
Yes.
I'm a doctor.
I'm a doctor.
I'm announced.
No, I'm not a doctor.
I'm not a doctor.
And also a brand new inductee.
Into the Radio Hall of Fame.
Well, not yet.
Yeah.
Not yet.
They have until tonight changed their mind.
Right.
And we do think they will.
Yeah, I really do.
I think they might.
I think they might.
I mean, they should.
Pat and I have been lobbying
hard behind the scenes.
We called Craig Kitchen and said, what are you thinking?
What are you thinking?
I have been thinking, you know, where in the Radio Hall of Fame is my stuff going to be?
And I figured out probably in the broom closet.
If you're lucky.
If I'm lucky, broom closet.
Might be in the round receptacle in the broom closet.
There is a physical Radio Hall of Fame, though, right?
Yes.
Where you can go and visit
Chicago?
Yeah, in Chicago.
I mean,
people are featured like Bob Hope, and Ronald Reagan, and not to mention every radio legend, George Burns, Don Imos, Rush Limbaugh, Rush Limbaugh.
Rush Limbaugh.
Thank you.
Okay, all right.
You know, I don't know why you'd be
the giant.
I know.
And then Glenn.
And me.
In the broom closet.
I mean, you're more of a guy.
Longevity, right?
You've been around for a long time.
They're like, we got to put him in.
That's kind of, I think that was the decision-making process.
Is it really?
I mean, how long ago?
40.
42, 40.
I don't even know.
40-some years.
A long time.
I think we were talking about it.
42 the same year.
I was just three years older than you.
Yeah.
And that was, was that 1977?
78?
78.
78.
78.
So
we were trying to put together something that would look back at the Glenn Beck career from 1978.
So basically, you got 42 years.
We combined it into 90 seconds.
This has got to be good.
This is the best 90 seconds of Glenn Beck's career.
No, I mean, this is actually, listen to this.
This is going back some of these Glenn and anything from like the really, really early years.
Oh, there's some, yeah, there's some really early stuff in here.
Excited.
Looking back at the career of one Glenn Beck.
WPGC.
KC101.
970 WFLA.
My name is Glenn Beck.
Kick it.
We started with humble beginnings.
This morning's you with us, Glenn and Jake.
It's the Glenn Beck Morning Show.
Little did I know it would catch on.
I think you are nuts.
Tell you what, if I I give you $50, will you go away happy?
There was a time when I first got on that.
Everybody hated me, man.
Mr.
Rush Limbaugh, Johnier Rudy Giuliani, how are you, sir?
Bill 1.
Carl Rowe.
Hello, Mr.
Vice President.
How are you?
John McCain.
Let's say hello to Don Imos.
It is Tuesday, September 11th, 2001.
And we will talk and listen to each other, maybe in a way.
That we haven't done for quite some time.
How can you just sit there?
You know who has the right for free speech?
I do.
Full-fledged took aid malert.
That's all about power and manipulation.
Sniper on the list, did we tell ya?
Okay, we get it, CNN.
Thank you very much.
I don't think so.
I think this guy's some sick freak.
Get off my phone.
Too much opinion on radio.
That's the problem.
What is a peninsula?
It's an island that's surrounded by land, right?
I just got back from Iraq.
We have moved or fed 11,450 Iraqi Christians out of the Middle East.
Hopefully in a couple of years, you'll hear an old show of mine and you'll say, wow, it's just
different.
And you'll mean that in a good way.
And so will I.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Wow.
How long did that take to make?
There's actual people who belong in the Hall of Fame.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
I can't even.
I'm glad you didn't concentrate on anything from WPGC.
I think there was a KUPY in there, which is like I was 13 years old.
Oh, there's some, there were some really old.
We had even more that had to be cut, cuts that had to be limited to 90 seconds.
But, you know, like it's been pretty amazing.
An amazing run.
When you go back through your career, all the different things that have happened, all the huge guests that you've had,
it's amazing.
I think if you was such an underachiever, and in reality, you've overachieved well past your time.
Well, there you go.
The Hall of Fame is tonight, the induction ceremony, and you can hear it,
the broadcast, at 7 p.m.
Just go to the iHeartRadio app and search for Radio Hall of Fame.
Also, it's going to be on Sirius XM, the Triumph channel, tonight at 7 p.m.
Eastern Time.
You want to play that on the Blaze?
I read that out loud, but I don't know.
We are playing it on the Blaze.
Yes, we are playing it on Blaze Radio or Blaze Radio.
So it'll be there.
I don't know.
this is, you know, this is my party.
So I don't care.
Don't cry if you want to.
Yeah, and I didn't plan it.
Do you think they canceled it so they didn't have to have a ceremony with you in person?
I do.
Yeah, it's screwed up.
Because of COVID.
I guess though, next year,
everybody who's inducted is supposed to go next year to the big dinner.
Oh, okay.
But there won't be a big dinner.
The world will be on fire by then.
I mean, this will all be over and half of us will be dead.
So that's happy.
Yeah, well, I thought so.
I thought so.
He's about as optimistic as he's been off the air, too.
So, Pat,
what are your thoughts on, you know, here we are just a,
oh, my gosh.
We are five days away
from the fundamental transformation of the United States of America.
That's today.
Yep.
Five days away.
Scary.
It's scary.
I'm trying to inject a little hope, though,
into this madness every day just so we can survive it, just so we can be sane.
And there's actually some things, you know, that lead you to believe that maybe there's hope.
Okay.
Okay.
Let me give you a few headlines.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
From 2016.
Oh, boy.
U.S.
News and World Report.
Seven reasons why Hillary Clinton's win over Donald Trump is a done deal.
Oh, okay.
Didn't work out very well for him.
Also, this survey finds Hillary Clinton has, quote, more than a 99% chance, unquote, of winning election over Donald Trump.
99%.
Well, they're saying 96% now.
So she lost after a 99% chance.
They were predicting she would have 312 electoral votes.
She came up with 232.
Then there was this from Reuters.
Clinton has a 90% chance of winning,
according to a Reuters Ipsos poll.
And then another chance of winning graph.
Hillary Clinton, this was the, I think this was Real Clear Politics overall average.
Of all the polls together, Hillary Clinton had a 71.4% chance to 28.6 for Donald Trump.
Did you read what Hillary Clinton said this week?
I was born to be the president.
She believes it's her birthright.
She does.
I was born to be the president, and that's what has made this so upsetting to me.
Since when?
Excuse me?
Are we doing royalty now in the United States of America?
I was born to be the greatest television star of all time, and it was taken from me.
Oh my gosh, what kind of out-of-control egomaniac is that?
One that isn't the president.
That's the kind.
Okay, I like that.
We'll go there.
Did you see one last thing I want to talk to you about?
Did you see the Tucker video last night?
Yeah,
I saw it.
You're talking about the one where they lost the...
Yeah, can we play this real quick?
This is the Tucker, the Hunter documents have vanished.
This is from Tucker Carlson last night.
There's always a lot going on that we don't have time to get to on the air, but there is something specific going on behind the scenes right now that we did feel we should tell you about.
So on Monday of this week, we received from a source a collection of confidential documents related to the Biden family.
We believe those documents are authentic, they're real, and they're damning.
At the time we received them, my executive producer, Justin Wells, and I were in Los Angeles preparing to interview Tony Bobolinski about the Biden's business dealings in China, Ukraine, and other countries.
So we texted a producer in New York and we asked him to send those documents to us in LA and he did that.
So Monday afternoon of this week he shipped those documents overnight to California with a large national carrier, a brand name company that we've used, you've used countless times with never a single problem.
But the Biden documents never arrived in Los Angeles.
Tuesday morning, we received word from the shipping company that our package had been opened and the contents were missing.
The documents had disappeared.
Now to its credit, the company took this very seriously and immediately began a search.
They traced the envelope from the moment our producers dropped it off in Manhattan on Monday all the way to 3.44 a.m.
yesterday morning.
That's when an employee at a sorting facility in another state noticed that our package was open and empty.
Apparently it had been opened.
So the company's security team interviewed every one of its employees who touched the envelope we sent.
They searched the plane and the trucks that carried it.
They went through the office in New York where our producer dropped that package off.
They combed the entire cavernous sorting facility.
They used pictures of what we had sent so that searchers would know what to look for.
They went far and beyond, but they found nothing.
Those documents have vanished.
As of tonight, the company has no idea and no working theory even.
about what happened to this trove of materials, documents that are directly relevant to the presidential campaign just six days from now.
We spoke to executives at that company a few hours ago.
They seemed baffled and deeply bothered by this.
And so are we.
I'm going to comment on this in hour number three, but I wanted to get your thoughts.
Did you, because I saw this last night and then I went online and I saw comments about it.
And it's the stereotypical, you know, leftist stuff saying, because they didn't exist.
You're just making this up, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Any first thoughts on this?
I mean, it's incredibly strange, right?
I mean, obviously, some packages do get lost.
They're not usually opened, though, and then the contents removed.
I don't know exactly what would happen.
I mean, I assume they didn't write Tucker Carlson, Big Hunter documents inside on the outside of the envelope.
So, I mean, unless,
I mean, it's hard to know exactly what, if it made it all the way across the country till 3:44 a.m.
the day before,
someone would have had to know maybe the producer's name.
And like, it's just a, it's a weird string of events that would lead to these things disappearing um but i i mean the if this if the documents if the uh company went through all the records and they could find it all the way here and this doesn't happen normally it is very very strange i assume please tell me they took pictures of the documents and still have them right i mean like they sell one copy they got copies i hope across the deal right that would be uh taken in the facility wouldn't you
you would think there'd be video surveillance here's why i think this is absolutely real.
Did you notice he didn't say UPS or Federal Express?
He believes the company.
He believes the company, and the company is upset about it.
Otherwise, he would have named the company.
He would have thrown them under the bus.
He would have thrown them under the bus.
And he believes that there's a chance that they will find out who did this.
And
I have some comments coming up in the third hour because my wife and I talked about it last night.
She was like, come on.
And I just reminded her of a few things.
And she was like, oh, yeah.
So I will comment on this on hour number three coming up.
Turns out Tucker didn't call out the company, but Glenn did call out his wife.
That's right.
And I have her, I put her in a Federal Express bag.
Now she's missing.
Now she's missing.
The bag.
I got the bag.
Wow, there are so many jokes in there.
So
let me just say this.
You've made one of the classic blunders.
Can you do this?
You've made one of the classic blunders.
Pat.
Pat, give me your best Vincini.
Best what?
The best Vicini.
You've made one of the classic blunders.
You've made one of the classic blunders.
That guy?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
The classic blunder is this.
Is it never to have a land war in Asia?
Never get involved in an energy company's business in Asia.
Never get involved in an energy company's business in Asia.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
Hey, we don't want you to forget last night we did a show that I think you could share with your friends who are undecided about what's really going on in the Democratic Party, what's really happening.
And the Democrats have been sold out.
and
it's not the Democratic Party that
you have come to believe it is anymore.
And we laid out how the change happened and what they really are planning on doing in the first 100 days with all of the evidence.
And we urge you to watch it.
You can find it on Blazetv.com slash Glenn.

Strangely,
it performed overperformed
than most of our things that we ever put on YouTube, way overperformed.
And then it just kind of stopped gathering steam.
It's weird.
You should be thankful that they even let it on there.
You're lies.
I know, I know.
There's a story from the Federalist about how many people in the GOP, in the
institutional GOPers,
want the GOP to go back to normal.
And they think that it will go back to normal if Donald Trump leaves.
I got news for you.
The GOP is dead.
The one that we know is dead.
The fighters are not.
The people who are fighting for the Constitution, but I think they're going to have to find a new party or it's going to have to transform.
The Democrats,
here's what happened.
Listen, hope and change.
What was that all about?
During the Bush administration, endless wars.
You wanted to be told the truth.
you wanted transparency on what was really going on, right?
And so Barack Obama won for a couple of reasons, historic election, and he promised hope and change.
People defined that a little bit like they defined Joe Biden.
Everybody, he's everything to everybody.
It's not really about him.
It's about something else.
And same with Barack Obama in many ways with hope and change.
I'll tell you how this all fell apart.

I want to talk to you about Not Free America.
This is a great book written by Mike Donovan.
It is
written by, Mike is a guy who fought tyranny for years.
He's the founder of the nation's largest pro bono civil rights law firm.

If you refuse to surrender your liberty to any earthly power, this is a book that you need to read.
Not Free America.
It solves the issue of citizens being used by the government, but it's more than just a book.
It is an actual solution.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
There are two walls of fire that we have to make sure keep lit so those who want to destroy our Constitution cannot cross them.
One of them is the presidency, the other is the Senate.
If you lose both the House and the Senate, you got nothing.
You got nothing.
Sorry, not the House and the Senate, but the Presidency and the Senate.
We must hold on to the presidency and the Senate.
We're going to talk to Mike Lee about what the Senate has been up to,
including what happened yesterday with the hearing on big tech censorship.
This is
so critically important,
and I don't know how only one side seems to care about it.
Mike Lee joins us in 60 seconds.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
When you're playing a team sport, it is critical that you don't go out onto the court and try to win the game all by yourself.
At least that's what people who watch sports tell me all the time.
Let me tell you something.
Buying and selling a house is a team sport.
You try to do everything by yourself and you're going to miss a lot of things, not to mention how exhausting the whole process will be.
What you need is the best set of teammates you can get, which means you need the best real estate agent you can get because the good ones come with an entire team.
The agents who work with real estate agents I trust, my company, they're the best and the best in your area.
They know all the right people to get a hold of people to help you and they know all the best practices for buying and selling homes.
They have the best track record.
And I don't want you to take my word for it.
I want you to interview one for yourself today and you'll see what I mean.
It's realestate agents I trust.com.
The name says it all, realestate agents I trust.com.
Senator Mike Lee, one of the bulldogs yesterday as the senators were grilling the chief executives of Google, Facebook, and Twitter.
Welcome to the program, Senator.
Thank you, Glenn.
It's good to be back on your show.
So first of all, can we just, can I ask, are we going to hold the Senate?
We are going to hold the Senate.
I believe we're going to because I believe in Winston Churchill's words that the American people will do the right thing after they've exhausted every other alternative.
There is no reasonable alternative that involves giving this thing over to the Democrats.
When they promised to pack the court, when they have promised to add two states to keep a perpetual Democratic majority, when they promised to enact Green New Deal policies and decimate the fossil fuel industry.
We can't allow that to happen.
So look, I can't see the future, Glenn, but I can see that the future under Democratic control of the Senate is a dismal one and we're not going to accept it.
And it's not just, it's not like the usual, hey, you can't let Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.
This is,
these are constitution busters.
Are they not?
Absolutely.
They are constitution busters.
These are things that would do irreparable harm to our system of government.
Take packing the court, for example, Glenn.
It's not technically unconstitutional, but it would undo the constitutional fabric.
It would completely decimate the way we undertake separation of powers in this country.
It would become a political body more than it would be a judicial body.
And that's really tragic.
If I'm not mistaken, FDR tried this, and he just wanted a rubber stamp for all of his New Deal policies.
And only 34% of the Republicans or the Democrats back then stood against it.
But it failed.
They had control, but it failed.
Do you see that kind of spirit at all in the Democratic Party of standing against it?
No, no, no, I don't.
I don't.
And Glenn, here's the really upsetting part to me.
When FDR trotted this thing out in the fall of 1936 and then introduced the legislation in early 1937, yes, it technically failed.
Yes,
he technically didn't get it passed, but it ended up leaving a serious dent, made a tragic mark.
It resulted in one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse switching sides, Justice Owen Roberts.
And they were so scared by this thing that Owen Roberts started rubber stamping his New Deal-era legislation.
And to this day, we're suffering under the consequences of a Supreme Court that basically relinquished its duty to draw a line between what the Congress has authority to enact under the Commerce Clause and what it doesn't.
So they're also talking about Joe Biden said that
we're not only just looking at that, we're also looking at other options, like the fact that we wouldn't mess with the lifetime appointment, but maybe we would switch Amy Coney Barrett to another court.
What is that?
Yeah,
that's a simple word word for that.
I think the word is unconstitutional.
It doesn't work.
That's too cute by half.
And Joe needs to go back to dominoes in the basement of Delaware.
This constitutional analysis
while in the condition that he's in much of the time doesn't work.
And that logic certainly doesn't work.
Let me, could you explain to the American people why the Electoral College is so important?
Okay.
So we're not a direct
democracy.
We have embedded within our system certain mediating institutions that are there to make sure that we're not run by the mob.
And so we have counter-majoritarian features, including things like the First Amendment and the Fifth Amendment, and including things like the Senate, where each state is equally represented, and where that equal representation among the states is also represented in the way our presidents are chosen.
It's not a direct presidential election.
If you get rid of the Electoral College, small states like mine become flyover country.
They become almost irrelevant because all of a sudden everybody would spend all their time campaigning in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and a couple of other cities.
And that's it.
That's all they would need to win a simple majority is to campaign in a few very major media markets.
And why is that?
Why is that so bad, Mike?
I mean, that's where the majority of the people live.
Yeah, it's bad because
it overturns the fact that we are a constitutional federal republic.
We're not simply a single nation.
Yeah, but what does that really mean?
I mean,
we all live by majority rule.
What's bad?
What's wrong with majority rules?
Well, majority rules is a terrible, terrible path to take because it always leads to tyranny.
The founding fathers knew this, and so they sought to mediate at every step the implications of mob rule.
Well, wait, majority rules on the Supreme Court.
What's the difference?
Yeah.
First of all, the Supreme Court's not a policymaking body, at least for now, at least until Joe Biden gets into office and implements his court packing plan.
It's not a political body.
And so, yes, a majority rules among them, but among the citizenry generally, you need principles governing and you need local government governing.
You get rid of the Electoral College.
That is a very serious step toward us no longer being 50 semi-sovereign entities operating as one for limited purposes.
Mike, let me switch to Deseret.com, which is so unbelievably pro-America and pro-Constitution,
said, Senator Lee and other Republicans accuse tech companies of partisan censorship.
We know that the Democrats did the opposite and said that's ridiculous.
You're just living in a fantasy conspiratorial world if you believe that.
Tell me what you think happened yesterday and did anything important happen
when you had the CEOs of Google, Facebook, and Twitter sitting in front of you guys.
Yeah, let me tell you what happened.
I sat them down and I said, look,
you're all acting as if this bias doesn't exist, and just as importantly, as if it swings both ways.
They all are really fond of saying things like, you know,
we've got our detractors on both sides of the aisle.
Neither side's really happy with us.
That's a sort of the progressives' way of pretending like they're not batting for the socialist team.
And I said to them, okay, I want to ask all three of you, all three of you have told us, all three of you have said to the American people, on the record, we don't tip the scale for partisan ideological reasons or along political lines.
Can you back that up?
And can you give me a single instance of a high-profile conservative individual or entity who's been censored, meaning whose content has been disfavored, whose ad has been taken down, whose blog or website has been demonetized or has otherwise received negative adverse treatment from you.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, couldn't come up with one.
He said,
we've got a whole lot of them on both sides of the aisle.
And I said, I don't need to know all of them.
I need to know one from the top of your head.
We can all think of probably dozens on the Republican side of the aisle.
Most Americans can who have had that happen.
I just want one on the liberal side that that's happened to.
Couldn't name one.
Jack Dorsey, couldn't name one.
Again, he tried the same technique as Zuckerberg.
Oh, there are lots.
I'll get back to you.
And I said, no, I want one, and I want one right now.
He couldn't give me one.
Then we had Mr.
Pakai from Google, who by that point had had two or three minutes, and I'm probably...
I'm sure they probably passed him a note.
He identified a couple of relatively obscure ones that I haven't heard of.
I haven't been able to verify yet.
Otherwise, couldn't name any.
And so
my point there was you cannot claim publicly that you're even-handed and you're not waiting the scale and get continuously discriminate only against high-profile conservatives, Republicans, pro-life groups, and candidates.
You can't do that.
That in turn is at least incompatible with the spirit, if not also the letter, of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act.
And I think we need to look into that.
So, Mike, I think it's important what you and particularly you and Senator Cruz did yesterday, you put them on notice, we're not going away, and we don't believe you.
However,
where is the teeth?
When do the teeth actually bite into the meat?
When is something going to be done?
All right.
So
one of the most immediate direct ways that we could achieve action, we know that we don't have there's no 230 proposal that exists out there right now that we know would fix the problem or that comes anywhere close to having
being able to pass in either House of Congress.
I'm working on one.
There are several other members who are working on their own.
I have yet to see one that actually does the job.
It could happen.
In the meantime, there are a few tools that we have at our disposal under existing law.
One is Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act that deals with
deceptive, unfair trade practices.
Another consists of our antitrust laws.
In some instances, one or more of these companies may have involved in antitrust violations.
I held a hearing on this just a few weeks ago as chairman of the Senate Antitrust Subcommittee.
And we've got ongoing investigations.
We've got ongoing legal actions brought by the Department of Justice against Google on that front.
So
it's not as though we are unarmed currently, but
we are looking for ways to update and modernize the law to make them more accountable.
It's not necessarily easy to get anything passed in Congress right now, but we're going to try.
If Donald Trump loses, God forbid,
does this Hunter Biden stuff just go away?
And have you looked at the documents yourself?
And
do you believe them
to be verified?
As to the Hunter Biden documents themselves,
no one
from the Biden campaign is saying these are not Hunter Biden's emails.
If they are,
then
I want to be corrected.
But to my knowledge, Glenn, not a single person connected to the Biden campaign has said these aren't real.
Hunter Biden himself, to my knowledge, has not said they're not real.
So there's not even an inference of their fraudulence at this point.
There's not even a suggestion of that.
As to your first question, if Joe Biden gets elected President of the United States, does this go away?
Probably.
Probably, yeah.
Because
I doubt that there is any federal office that would look at it at this point.
I mean, it's gone away for this long.
The media hasn't covered it, with the exception of Fox News, Wall Street Journal,
you,
and a couple of other people out there.
It's been crickets.
It really is tragic, and yet the news media is not holding him to account for the fact that there are some very serious questions here, and he's dismissing it as if it were nothing.
Well, it seems to be a problem, you know, when the police are bad, and I say that about the FBI and those investigating this.
If the police are bad, there's no one to run to.
And there seems to be a real problem in the Justice Department and FBI.
Yes,
there does.
Look, I've been concerned for some time about the FBI.
The
leadership of Chris Wray has not brought clarity
to the dark and murky deep state.
And it needs to happen.
I
strongly suspect that there will be changes within the FBI leadership structure immediately after the election if President Trump wins.
And I look forward to that.
Thank you, Mike.
I appreciate it.
Senator Mike Lee from Utah.
Thank you for guarding our Constitution.
All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about American financing.
If you are looking to buy property, if you're looking to refi or consolidate, please talk to American Financing at AmericanFinancing.net.
There was just a story today from Wells Fargo, I think, that said
after the election, things could get really dicey
for the dollar and for Wall Street.
You think so?
Please, please, we are five days away from the possibility of fundamental transformation.
We have got to have our ducks in a row by Tuesday, and American Financing can help you do that.

Let's do 10-second station ID.
You know, what's really frightening to me is
how
the left now
views the average American.
I don't think, and if this is you,
you need to go back and check yourself.
But those on the left, I'm not talking about Democrats, those on the left
have no time or space for those who think differently.
And
they have just whipped everybody up into this frenzy to where they are talking about now,
what do we do?
How do we deal with these Republicans?
What do you mean, how do you deal with these Republicans?
What does that mean?
We just can't let these Trump supporters just go.
What are you talking about?
Can you imagine if Donald Trump would have said that about Hillary Clinton supporters?
What would be your option?
What are you planning on doing?
We are changing fundamentally to a banana republic.
When one side wins, they have to wipe out everyone else.
That's the problem with not accepting the results of an election.
If the election is fair,
If there's no funny business going on, if there's no cheating going on,
well, then Americans accept that.
Even if, I mean, honestly, even there's always some level of cheating in these events.
Yeah.
And
we have accepted elections before that
you could totally.
Yeah.
I mean, you could totally look at and say there was massive fraud going on, massive shadiness.
What sets us apart, because everybody can always...
have this qualifier at the end, right?
Well, you know, look, I just think
there was lots of fraud.
That's what every dictator that loses says, right?
We have to have a system that people have faith in, that people are
treating correctly, that are not motivated to win at any costs and overrun all the rules to get their way.
And we've accepted losses that I hated.
I mean, you know, I think I wanted Barack Obama to be president of the United States.
I thought he was a terrible president.
But we accepted it.
Bill Clinton, we accepted it.
It's been the opposite for Democrats.
Every election in my adult life, they have lost, they have said was stolen from them.
Every single one of them.
I don't know.
How do you deal with a side of the aisle that acts this way?
Oh, well,
the Ohio voting machines were hacked.
That was 2004.
Oh, 2000 was well covered.
Yeah.
Obviously.
We saw it.
We see it every single time they win.
I mean, they've spent the last four years telling us that Russia stole the election from Hillary Clinton.
They're still telling us that, and they're saying new things about Russia.
Yeah.
This Hunter Biden thing is Russia.
You can't take a side seriously when
they go on television all the time and complain about how they're so worried Donald Trump won't leave the White House.
Well, you know, you guys have complained about this every single election, every one of them.
Every time you lose, you say it was unfair.
Every time.
You don't have a leg to stand on in this case.
Back in just a minute.
This is the Glenn Beck program.

Tonight, 7 p.m.
Eastern Time, Glenn Beck inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame.
You can hear it on the iHeart Radio app, 7 p.m.
Eastern or on Blaze Radio.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Seth Dillon, may he live forever, is the CEO of the Babylon Bee,
the world's most trusted, factually accurate news source.
We have Seth on the phone with us now.
Hello, Seth.
Hi, Glenn.
Thanks for having me on.
You bet.
So I think one of the funniest things, I mean, you guys are funny every single day, and I love what you do.
Thank you.
But one of the funniest things I've seen in a while, and it was because of the reaction, was
the post.
where you said, Senator Hirono demands that Amy Coney Barrett be weighed against a duck to see if she's a witch.
And the quotes were all from Monty Python.
I mean, it was really brilliant.
And you had a picture of her in the committee hearing with a duck in a burlap bag next to her.
And
you were banned by Facebook.
We were demonetized.
Demonetized, yeah.
They didn't take down our page, but they threatened us.
Well, they didn't threaten.
They penalized us with demonetization and said that this was an incitement to violence because there was a line in that article that said we must burn her.
And anyone who
has to walk.
You can't just say that.
You have to say the entire line.
Do you have the entire line in front of me?
Because I think I have it here someplace.
We do.
Do you want to read it?
No, go ahead.
Go ahead.
I got to find it.
Hold on one second.
I just love this.
I just love this line.
I'm looking forward to it.
Absolutely, absolutely absurd.
Oh, she's a witch, all right.
Just look at her, said Senator Hirono.
Just look at the way she's dressed and how she's so much prettier and smarter than us.
I just know it.
We must burn her.
I mean, it's just absolutely ridiculous.
And the line about, I know, not only am I a senator, I know a few things about science.
And
wood floats, so do ducks.
And so if she weighs the same weight as a duck,
she can be burned because she's wood.
I mean, it's great stuff.
And and there's no way, there's no way anyone took that seriously.
No, no, and this is, we've had this happen before where there's just stories that, I mean, if you remember what happened with CNN, the CNN story we did and Snopes fact-checking it,
you know, we did, we did a piece about how CNN had bought an industrial washing machine to spin the news in before they published it.
And it was just like, on the face of it, so absurd.
Obviously, they're not going to spin it.
Like, it doesn't even make sense.
It's just silly.
It's just a silly joke about their bias and their agenda, right?
But they fact-checked it, and Facebook threatened to penalize us for that because we were putting out misinformation.
So it was a similar situation where, I mean, there are stories that we publish that
are close enough to the truth.
Reality, everything is believable today, right?
So, I mean,
it's very frequent that we'll become close to the truth and that we'll even
prophesy the truth because these things come true all the time.
But
in these cases, these are two examples where we've had run-ins with Facebook, and these are the most outrageous stories you can imagine.
And plus, this one, this is a common reference.
I mean, Money
is a classic, popular film.
So, you know, people who are reading this understand that this is a joke.
So when you said to Facebook, well, hang on just a second, you allow
leaders of Black Lives Matter to say, if we don't get our way, burn this system down.
That's allowed.
But
this is a violation of your violence portion
of your rules.
Yeah, this is the point that I make.
It's not that we're actually violating their community standards.
You know, they did apologize and reinstate us, whatever, if we may just think about it, but
we're never actually violating their community standards, but they're always reaching to try to treat us as if we did.
And my question is, and the question that they won't answer is, why?
Why are they treating us that way?
You know, there's plenty of other sites out there.
There's movements, there's groups, there's groups that call for violence, promote violence.
They consider violence a justified option instead of discourse.
And we're just simply, we wake up every day, Glenn, in the morning.
We look at the headlines and we think, what would be a funny take on that?
What would be a funny take on that?
And that's what we do.
We go and write a funny...
you know,
satirical take on the issues, whatever they are.
So that's how, I mean, we have no ill intentions whatsoever.
But it goes beyond the social networks.
You have media coverage of us, too.
I don't know if you saw the piece in the New York Times recently.
It was one more instance of them questioning our motives and saying,
are they trying to misinform people under the guise of comedy?
And this is how they circumvent Facebook's rules.
Imagine saying that about NBC's Saturday Night Live, which I do believe is biased.
But I just did, I don't watch it.
If I don't like it, I don't watch it.
Right, right.
But it only, they say those things about us.
But I mean, look, you know, you've got a lot of political statements being made over at The Onion.
The Onion is the most popular satire site that's on the other side of the aisle from us in terms of, you know, political meetings.
And their motives are never questioned.
They're just considered a funny satire site.
And we see that all the time.
The media's treatment, the media is silent on their stuff.
And then the fact checks that are done of The Onion, which are fewer and further between than ours, are so friendly.
They're with kid gloves.
It's, oh, this is a satire site, the best satire site on the internet.
It's funny stuff.
Just laugh at it.
That's the way they handle those fact checks.
So
we are certainly treated differently.
There's double standards all over the place.
And I'm not sure how people don't see it.
We're talking to Seth Dylan, the CEO of the Babylon B.
So
you won this.
They remonetized you, but that doesn't help for the lost money and the lost exposure that
you suffered during that time.
My problem is
with this system, you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent.
Right.
This flips American, the thought of American justice and fair play completely on her head.
Well, I'd say, let me say it's even worse than that.
It's worse than that because we are only out of Facebook jail because we have a platform.
We are able to make noise.
We have a huge following, a very vocal following that's loyal and devoted to us.
We have reporters, people in the media, people like you that follow us on Twitter and Facebook and will talk about this stuff when we make people aware of it.
So we're able to bring negative attention to Facebook's doorstep when they do this kind of stuff to us.
But what about the little guys?
What about people who don't have a large following?
What about a small business who posts a blog article that was deemed an incitement to violence?
And they get shut down.
They have no recourse whatsoever.
So they don't even have the opportunity to appeal or
make noise or prove themselves innocent.
So
you need a platform in order to do that.
We found that we're only successful.
In this case, this is a great example of this.
We went through the formal channels of appealing with Facebook.
They give you that option when this stuff happens.
And the person who manually reviewed this article upheld the original ruling that it was an incitement to violence.
So we got a firm no from Facebook.
They said, no, you're demonetized until you fix this.
You've got to edit that article.
And that's when we we went public with it and brought attention to it because that's just ridiculous.
But we're fortunate enough to be in a position where we can do that, but not everybody is.
How many people does this happen to?
And they have no recourse.
Well, they did this to me when, you know, when I was on Fox, I, you know, I, this show started as a comedy show.
A lot of the stuff I do, you know, I've done in the past has been, you know, with a comedic bent to be able to make the point.
They took everything that I did, took it out of context, made it seem like I really actually meant those things.
And it was just not worth the hassle anymore, which is so damaging because I think they know the power of comedy.
Yeah.
Yeah, they do.
It's a threat.
I mean, look, we love this quote from G.K.
Chesterton.
It's a brilliant, he puts it brilliantly in the framing the effectiveness of humor.
He said, humor can get in under the door while seriousness is still fumbling at the handle.
And I love that because it's true.
I mean, humor is disarming.
When you wrap a message in the package of humor, it's easier to deliver it.
It's more easily received.
This stuff more easily goes viral, even on really controversial or heated topics.
So, you know, when we're making our points really effectively using it, then yeah, they try to find ways to
denigrate us, to smear us,
to shut us up.
And it's clearly, you know, a building of a predicate for censorship, in our view, and and certainly dangerous.
Have you been following at all, the truth and reconciliation trials and committees, suggestions that the Democrats are seemingly wanting to pick up?
Have you been following that?
Truth and reconciliation, you're talking about identifying people after this election is over, you know, picking out these people who are problematic.
Yes.
Yes.
Anybody in the media, you know, anybody.
I've heard mentions of that, and you know, trying to build lists.
This is not over, you know, we're going to come after you kind of stuff.
And a lot of that, I don't know how much of that is
an empty threat, but I certainly wouldn't put it past them to think in those terms and try to do something like that.
I think it's awful.
Seth,
I'll have my research team send you some information on this and their white papers on it.
It's not an empty threat.
The extreme left is really pushing for this.
And
that puts all of us,
especially you, I don't know if you know who.
Oh, shoot, what was his name?
I can't remember now.
He was the famous actor in Germany.
He was probably the number one box office
comedy actor.
And he took on the
Nazis for a long time, finally escaped
because they shut him down.
But he really thought he could get away with it.
In the end,
his his story is remarkable.
Those people who
don't appreciate the
fact that they're not infallible,
when they want to shut people up, they become very vindictive and they go after people who can rally or people that can make people laugh.
Yep.
Yeah, well, I mean, it's all the more reason for us to be more vocal, right?
It's not that we relish this fight, you you know, that we enjoy it, but we certainly won't back down from it.
That's for sure.
Thank you so much.
Yeah.
Thank you.
God bless you.
Yeah.
Thank you, Gwen.
You bet.
That's
the CEO of the Babylon B, which if you don't follow, you should.

That's remarkable.
On Instagram, if you follow me,
only 20% of my audience gets what I post 20%

It's always time to eat, Stu.
It is always time to eat, as you can see by looking at us.
But
for you,
whenever the Built Bar commercial pops up, you just
think that that means you have to eat a Built Bar, which is not part of the deal.
You don't think so?
You can just talk about how much you like it.
No.
I'm really not even hungry, but it's more like a snack.
You know what I mean?
It's more like a treat.
Hey, you've made it two hours awake.
Have some candy.
You should be rewarded for that.
You know what I mean?
Right?
Am I right?
All right.
Built bar is a protein bar, but it doesn't taste anything like a protein bar.

Yeah, I mean, I know I love this country.

Let me tell you about rough greens.
My dog Uno is such a changed animal ever since I started putting rough greens on his food.
Sometimes, you know, I joke that I might have to taper down just a little bit with him.
Because it looked like I was working a little too, you know, too, too good.
You know,
he's healthy.
He's happy.
Come on, Uno, slow down, slow down.
Your owner's not exactly happy and healthy.
So don't try that.
Hey, let's go out and play.
Let's go and throw the ball.
Come on, throw the ball, throw the ball.
Find somebody else, bud, or I'm tapering it down.
He has gained weight, which is what we were trying to get him to do.
Some dogs, you put this on and they lose weight.
And it's because their activity level goes way up.
They have such energy.
It's like they are kids again.
It really is.
And it all comes from the probiotics and the digestive enzymes and even the omega oils and antioxidants.
All this stuff that you're supposed to have, your dog's supposed to have too.
Rough greens, not a dog food.
You put it on top and it changes your dog.
See your dog turn into a healthier and happier dog.
Watch him thrive again.

All right,
I want to play a cut from last night's Tucker Carlson show, which, by the way, pray for Tucker Carlson.
Pray for him.
Pray for his staff.
He is one of the bravest people on television.
I think he is, quite honestly.
I know I'm going to leave somebody out on this, so I apologize in advance.
But I think he's the only one on cable television actually telling the whole truth, the truth that you need to hear.
He is, he's doing a fantastic job.
Tucker and I are not, you know, I think we're friends now, but we were never, you know, close or anything else.
And I think there was a time that Tucker didn't like me.
That's most people went through that time with you.
There's the defense.
So anyway, you know, and I'm not saying this because I have anything to gain with Tucker.
I just really respect the job he's doing right now.
And I know what it is like to be in the position that he's in right now.
It is a dangerous world that he is living in.
I mean, there are booby traps all around him.
So please pray for him and all others that are speaking the truth because it's going to get a lot more difficult should the president lose next week, which I am not willing to accept, but
God's will be done.
All right.
Let me play what he said yesterday on television because it was pretty shocking.
There's always a lot going on.
that we don't have time to get to on the air, but there's something specific going on behind the scenes right now that we did feel we should tell you about.
So on Monday of this week, we received from a source a collection of confidential documents related to the Biden family.
We believe those documents are authentic, they're real, and they're damning.
At the time we received them, my executive producer, Justin Wells, and I were in Los Angeles preparing to interview Tony Bobolinski about the Biden's business dealings in China, Ukraine, and other countries.
So we texted a producer in New York and we asked him to send those documents to us in LA, and he did that.
So Monday afternoon of this week, he shipped those documents overnight to California California with a large national carrier, a brand name company that we've used, you've used countless times with never a single problem.
But the Biden documents never arrived in Los Angeles.
Tuesday morning, we received word from the shipping company that our package had been opened and the contents were missing.
The documents had disappeared.
Now, to its credit, the company took this very seriously and immediately began a search.
They traced the envelope from the moment our producers dropped it off in Manhattan on Monday all the way to 3.44 a.m.
yesterday morning.
That's when an employee at a sorting facility in another state noticed that our package was open and empty.
Apparently it had been opened.
So the company's security team interviewed every one of its employees who touched the envelope we sent.
They searched the plane and the trucks that carried it.
They went through the office in New York where our producer dropped that package off.
They combed the entire cavernous sorting facility.
They used pictures of what we had sent so that searchers would know what to look for.
They went far and beyond, but they found nothing.
Those documents have vanished.
As of tonight, the company has no idea and no working theory even about what happened to this trove of materials, documents that are directly relevant to the presidential campaign just six days from now.
We spoke to executives at that company a few hours ago.
They seemed baffled and deeply bothered by this.
And so are we.
So I said to my wife last night, I said, did you see this?
And she said what I think
many Americans will think,
and that is,
they didn't make a copy.
Why didn't they make a copy?
Come on, wait a minute.
You think that somebody was...
I mean, how did somebody even know what was in there?
So let me give you the conversation that I had with my wife last night.
And that is this.
We have sent
her wedding ring, a diamond ring, through Federal Express.
We have
sent things of great value.
I just bought some silver last, you know, what, a month ago, and it was shipped UPS.
I've never had I've had packages not arrive, get lost, or late, but it's always arrived.
And I've never had anything opened
on the way.
Has have you?
Never.
Never.
So, as he said, it was opened.
It was in one of their facilities and it was opened.
Now, what did he have?
A big Tucker Carlson sticker on it?
Hey, top secret documents that might hurt Biden.
Don't open this.
No.
Somebody had to know that package was on its way.
The first thing I said to my wife last night, Do you not recall
the night that you said to me
dear god we're living we're living like a jason bourne movie
when we were at fox
said do you remember what that was like do you remember
do you remember how many times we had our offices swept for bugs and not just because we thought somebody from the left was doing it yes they were going through our garbage.
But not just because we worried about, you know, Soros kind of people,
but because we also had credible reason to suspect that there would be someone that would want the information that we were going to go through and have and have it before we broadcast
from the right.
Well, why didn't they make a copy?
How many people, honey, do you trust?
Do you trust?
My wife
is not a conspiracy.
She doesn't, I mean, honestly, she just,
she's not impressed with politics, politicians, celebrities, money, fame, none of it.
I am the luckiest man in the world because if she were, I'd be out of control.
But she is not impressed with any of it.
She doesn't like most of it.
She is always the first to me to say, wait a minute, wait, wait.
You think what's going to happen?
She's a great check on me.
She's my soulmate.
She's my other half.
We don't have people over at our house anymore.
Anyone over to our house anymore.
We don't have, we have
probably
maybe
four people that we know
that
we trust that are that she will say they can come over.
And
we have many, I mean, everyone I've worked with, Stu,
Sarah,
she doesn't, it's not that she doesn't like people or doesn't trust individuals.
She just no longer trusts people.
And it's the worst thing that has happened to my wife because of what I do.
It's the worst thing.
And
I try to say to her, honey, you got to separate.
And she's...
We've just been burned too many times, and she just doesn't want it around the family and in the house
so
if you are working exposing something as dynamic as
this hunter biden story
this is the most if the press knows it or they would allow it to be get
they would they would follow up on it They would at least ask Biden, is that his laptop?
Are these real?
They won't even ask it.
They know how damaging this is if they even recognize it.
A good friend of mine
who was there at one of my Jason Bourne moments
and actually
was, I mean, one of the guys that I've always thought was the sanest, calmest man I've ever met,
encouraged me to do some things, to take precautions.
And I went, Are you kidding me?
And this is a guy who had been around Washington and been around the media a lot and was not a paranoid guy at all.
I was shocked when he said this to me.
And he said, after he suggested what he did, he said, Do you think the movies are all fiction?
This stuff is real.
It happens.
What do you think Watergate was all about?
We are so quick to accept things like
aliens
are flying around our world right now.
We're so quick to...
13% of the American public now believe that we didn't go to the moon.
That's insanity.
And yet when we know politics and billions of dollars are at stake, we refuse to believe that there might be somebody that is monitoring.
He text messaged someone in his office.
He text messaged,
hello?
That's on the servers.
That's open.
From somebody inside the building or outside the building.
How many people would you trust with documents standing there at the Xerox machine copying them?
Honestly, if it were me and I didn't trust the people that I work with, thank God I do, but I didn't know who would see it or where they would be in the building, I would honestly say, take this envelope and just put it into another envelope and send it to me.
We're entering a different world
and you're not going to recognize this world.
Our FBI is compromised.
Our government is compromised.
And
until somebody cleans it up,
It's going to remain so.
And they're going to call you a conspiracy theorist and everything else.
Well, they're out in the open saying the kinds of things that they will do.
They're out in the open.
We're dealing with people now that will do whatever it takes.
Pray for people like Tucker Carlson.

I don't generally
enjoy jamming a pair of bowling balls into my ears, but, you know, it's just not my thing.
I mean, I suppose you could do it.
But that's what it feels like every time I put on a pair of wireless earbuds in, especially Apple AirPods.
They hurt my ears.
They're always falling out while I'm trying to jazzer size.
Hey, don't.
No.
I'm still jazzercising with Jane Fonda.
You got to get your exercise in.
Amen, brother.
Fortunately, since I discovered Raycon wireless earbuds, I don't have any of those problems
while I'm
sweating with the oldies.
Now I have Raycon, and they are the newest model, the Everyday E25 earbuds.
Best earbuds Raycon has put out yet.
They've got six hours of playtime, seamless Bluetooth pairing, more bass, more compact design that gives you a nice noise-isolating fit, and they're half the price of the leading high-quality earbuds.
And quite honestly, I think they're better.
They're stylish, they're discreet.

Let's pause for 10 seconds, station ID.
Don't forget to share with your friend last night's Wednesday night special the things that the left will do in the first 100 days of the Joe Biden administration.
It is quite a list.
And by the way, have you heard the latest on what they're saying now about Amy Coney
Barrett?
that if she doesn't, if she sits on the Supreme Court and doesn't recuse herself from the Pennsylvania
court case, what court case in Pennsylvania?
What are you talking about?
If the Pennsylvania court case goes to her and
there's a disagreement in Pennsylvania, if she doesn't recuse herself, The whole thing is illegitimate.
Why would she recuse herself?
That makes no sense.
It makes no sense.
None.
At all.
None whatsoever.
Except for the fact that the left wants something, so therefore they say that's the only thing that can be done.
Yes.
It's what they do all the time.
They say when they want something, they say it's constitutional.
When they want something else, they say it's unconstitutional.
That is their defining
characteristic.
When they want something, they say, listen to the Supreme Court.
They just ruled on it because it rules in their favor.
And when they don't,
they don't like it.
It was unjust and it's wrong and it's got to be changed.
It's a safe thing to think about.
Every time they say something, you shouldn't listen to it.
But other than that, they're great.
It's really worth your time to listen to their nonsensical arguments.
You know, to hear Chuck Schumer go up in front of the Senate and say, this is the worst thing we've ever seen.
They're forcing this justice through.
I can't believe this.
After they said in 2016 that Merrick Garland couldn't go through, well, what did you say in 2016?
Because I remember you quite clearly saying it should go through.
So now you're disagreeing with yourself.
You never agreed to the standard that the Republicans were suggesting back then.
You were on the complete opposite side of it.
You were saying it was blatantly obvious that a president, they go for four years, not three years.
You said these things over and over and over again.
And now you say the exact reverse and act as if no one else heard it.
Last night I showed you
on television this amazing thing, how they're saying, you know, because of what the Republicans did with the Supreme Court, with all of the things that they did with Amy Coney Barrett, it's just illegitimate and we have to pack the court.
The problem is
they came out and they were saying that and left-wing magazines and left-wing news sites were encouraging them to pack the court as the only way they could get things through if they win in the election.
And they said the only way to do it is to pack the court.
So this was out there.
It had nothing to do with Amy Coney Barrett.
It's exactly the same with Black Lives Matter.
It had nothing to do with George Floyd.
Nothing.
They had already tried to start these things for years before.
Black Lives Matter started in St.
Louis.
It started
with, what's his name?
That was,
and they it started in the riots in Michael Brown?
Yeah, Michael Brown.
Yeah, it started with that riot and then they tried to do it a few other times and they just waited for the right opportunity.
It's the same thing.
They waited for Amy Coney Barrett.
Yeah, I know they were pushing this before Ginsburg was even dead.
Yep.
I went back to, I was doing something on the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.
Yeah.
I think last week.
And you go back and you look at the counter-protest groups, these peaceful protesters, guess who they were?
The socialists, you know, Workers' Party, Antifa, Black Lives Matter.
It was all the same groups that are doing it now in city after city after city after city.
Unbelievable.
It was the same stuff.
You know, like it's shocking that when they're around, things seem to burn to the ground quite frequently.

We're five days away from the
possible fundamental transformation of the United States.
We're five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States.
Jeez.
It was scary then, and we're five days away from it possibly happening now.
The final chapter.
It is important that you talk to your friends that still haven't made up their mind or are sitting on the fence or thinking, I can't vote for either of them.
It's really, really important that they vote.
Either a vote for the Constitution or a vote for something brand new that we haven't seen.
We've seen some of it, and you have to take them seriously.
You know, they're saying that they're not going to ban fracking, but they are.
In fact, don't listen to me.
Here they are in their own words.
Said I oppose fracking.
You said it on tape.
I did.
Show the tape.
I'm talking about stopping fracking as soon as we possibly can.
I'm talking about telling the fossil fuel industry that they are going to stop destroying this planet.
No ifs, buts, and maybes about it.
I'm talking about some...
I am not banning fracking.
Let me say that again.
I am not banning fracking.
No matter how many times Donald Trump lies about me.
I have a transition from the oil industry, yes.
Oh,
big statement.
It is a big statement.
Let me be clear.
No matter how many lies he tells, I am not, not, not banning fracking.
Period.
What about, say, stopping fracking and stopping the pipeline infrastructure?
I'm not banning fracking in Pennsylvania or anywhere else.
Would there be any place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking, in a Biden administration?
No,
we would work it out.
We would make sure it's eliminated and no more subsidies for either one of those, either any fossil fuel.
Yeah, okay.
So I think we're all clear.
There is something going on in America, and it is a
wake-up call for many people.
And I think it started with Barack Obama.
I think the hope and change that a lot of people, both Republican and
Democrats, wanted, was a more transparent government, one that wasn't always bickering, one that could just do their job so we could do our job.
Well, that didn't happen.
And a lot of people were very upset with Barack Obama.
It's why he's not drawing big crowds anymore and he's not, you know, a Greek god.
Because his real support came from the Marxists and they wanted the fundamental transformation of America.
He started it, but he didn't go far enough for them.
The GOP,
they didn't get it.
Every time you would elect somebody new, we wanted hope and change too.
Every time you'd elect somebody and the Tea Party went out, they would mock the Tea Party and then they would get the candidate and they would just bring him into their den of thieves.
And they were not responding to the people.
That's why Donald Trump is so successful on both sides.
People that
were voting for Barack Obama voted and will vote again for Donald Trump because they see him as the only guy who's actually standing up and at least taking on the political mobs, the media,
the
machine of the GOP and the machine of the DNC.
He's willing to do it and they don't see anybody else doing it.
And it is changing people's mind because it is actually changing people's lives, especially in the African-American community, but all over.
I saw this great video series just this weekend.
Prager U has done Stories of Us, and they are so important that each of us share them immediately today.
I wanted to get a person that is kind of responsible for some of these, and her new video
from Stories of Us is now up at Glenbeck.com.
She's a manager to Candace Owens and a presenter for Prager U.
And I wondered why, why I didn't hire her at some point.
And it's because she's also a fitness coach.
And we just can't have any of those around here.
Gina Bontempo is with us now.
Hi, Gina.
How are you?
I'm doing great.
Thanks.
How are you, Glenn?
Very good.
So tell me about what Stories of Us
are and why they're important.
Sure.
PragerU did this fantastic series called Stories of Us, where, you know, they just elevated personal stories of people who have realized the lunacy of the left, who have come face to face with what the radical left is really trying to accomplish in America.
And we have seen the light, so to speak.
So it's a series of people who tell their personal stories of how they were once liberal or leftist, or maybe even not necessarily even an Obama voter, but someone who identified as a liberal before.
And the veil was sort of pulled back over the last three to four years with the rise of President Trump.
And,
you know, there's just, there's a shift happening right now.
So the series is such a great representation of certain people, including myself, who have really come around and seen all the ways that the media has been lying to us, all the ways that we have been brainwashed and indoctrinated in higher education.
I tell that.
as part of my story as well.
As someone who went to college in graduate school, I left school truly hating America and hating the country that gave me and my family so many opportunities.
So this series is really a testament to how people can change their minds once they see the light.
I mean, you hated it so much, you moved.
I did.
I was on the road for almost three years, Glenn.
I was on the road internationally.
I said to myself
at the end of 2000, I believe it was 2014, I said to myself, I said, I'm out of here.
Maybe it was even 2013.
I left.
I went to Australia for a while.
I went to South America for a while.
I jumped around from Peru to Bolivia to Chile.
And, you know, what's funny is that I was in all these different countries and especially developing countries in South America and seeing how they lived.
And
actually down the line, what's funny is that all those experiences really helped me understand that the United States of America is truly the best country to live in.
And it really brought me back to realize what a blessing it is to even be born in this country.
So besides that, what was it that opened your eyes?
What was it that
started really making you say, wait,
I'm wrong about all of this stuff?
I was working as an editor and as a writer for mainstream media publications.
A lot of digital publications that were geared towards women, you know, these lifestyle slash news hybrid publications are actually really the machine that's producing the most information that's being released to millennials and Gen Z.
And I was working in that industry.
And I realized after
working full-time in the office day to day, seeing how editors and editorial directors will censor content.
and how they will frame all of their content depending on clicks, views,
because that's exactly how these companies make money, is that the advertisers will
buy ads depending on how many clicks and views they get.
And I watched day by day in the office how it was almost like a cult.
If you were working in this industry, there was just no doubt that you were a leftist, you were liberal.
And I actually had a coworker come up to me, this young lady, who said, she whispered to me, she said, I am terrified that our boss will find out that I'm a registered Republican.
And all these little things bit by bit, and seeing how they would censor my own content and
whether it had to do with culture and politics or whether it even had to do with health and fitness.
And that really started to wake me up.
And then early 2017, I watched a full full unedited speech of President Trump's.
And in that second, I said to myself, we are being lied to.
And that's when it all started to change for me.
You actually said or wrote 10 New Year's resolutions for people of color that they have for white people.
That's right.
I did write.
And it's not.
I did write that.
Right.
But that didn't come from you, right?
No, no.
This is actually a really
interesting point that I like to tell people is that when you're an editor and a writer for these mainstream media publications, what the directors do is they give you a long list of posts and articles that they want you to write, right?
Because they have very specific traffic goals that they need to hit every day and every week, every month.
And so the list would be you know, just some of the most radical stuff I've ever seen, like, you know, 10 New Year's resolutions that intersectional feminists have for men everywhere.
10 ways that cultural appropriation hurts everyone, especially minorities.
You know, 10 ways that President Trump is causing mental illness in the United States of America.
And these are the kinds of things that we were assigned and we were told to write.
And we really, there was no choice in the matter.
You either wrote this or you didn't have a job.
So give me the chicken and the egg.
If you're writing this because the editor says to, but the editor is only looking at what people are consuming, what they want,
who's leading who?
That is, that's the question.
That's really the question.
And that's something that I found myself asking
too.
And the funny thing is, once you start to ask these questions in media, once you are a person who works in the industry and you start to just raise some questions to your director or your boss, whoever it might be, you're shut down very quickly.
And I remember asking very specifically, there was one year at the last media company I worked for, they had a ton of layoffs.
We weren't hitting traffic goals.
They had to lay up a ton of people.
And they told us specifically,
we're not going to spend any extra money, guys.
We need to tighten up on everything.
And the next thing I knew, they hired an external team to come in and teach about unconscious bias and diversity.
And I asked the question, I just posed the question.
I thought we were supposed to cut back on unnecessary expenses.
And I asked them, I said, how does this how does this unconscious bias workshop directly contribute to revenue growth in our company, directly contribute to ensuring that we don't have more layoffs in the company.
And as soon as you start asking these questions,
that's when they either tell you to shut up or leave.
How important is this election?
And can you believe that you are fighting for the exact opposite side you ever thought you would?
Sometimes I wake up and I have to pinch myself because I did spend several years in the machine of higher education.
And I know that people say this, I feel like people say it almost every election, but I do truly believe that this election is the most important that we have seen because it really is, we're at a crossroads where we're asking ourselves, do we want to preserve America?
Do we want to preserve American ideals and values?
Or do we want to create destruction and chaos and tear it all down?
And
a lot of women, especially in the suburbs, believe that that's what Donald Trump brings, is just nothing but chaos.
They do believe that, and that's because of the content that they've been consuming and that the content that's been shoved down their throats for so many years.
And that's really the sad thing.
That's why I did the series of Prague or Youth, because I really wanted young women, especially to understand that we have been lied to so much, especially when it comes to President Trump, who objectively, when you look at his record, when you look at the fact that he was a billionaire who then decided to go into public service and work for free to serve our country, that's when you can really see that President Trump, he is the man who cares about America.
He is the man who cares about law and order.
And he's the man who's going to preserve American ideals and values.
And so that's why I say that this election really is the most important.
And
now is not the time to back down or
be scared at these threats of being racist or sexist or misogynist, whatever it might be.
Because at this point, the left is overplaying their hands, right?
They're doubling down on the same thing they did four years ago.
And I think people are really starting to wake up to it.
I hope so, Gina.
And thank you for helping that.
I watched your video this weekend and I thought it was just tremendous and I retweeted it.
It's PragerU, new series, Stories of Us, people who have been in the system and have spat themselves out because something's not quite right.
I mean, you'll go down a wormhole or a rabbit hole of just watching one after another after another.
They're very inspiring.
And yours is available now at glennbeck.com.
And I ask that you go down that rabbit hole and share as many of these as you possibly can.
Thanks, Gina.
I appreciate it.
Great.
Thanks so much, Glenn.
Bye-bye.
God bless.
So, what is it you miss getting out and doing the most?
And I don't mean getting out of the house these days.
I mean, you know, what do you miss?
Because pain keeps you from doing it, not Bill de Blasio.
Of course, he is a pain, but that's a different thing.
I love to paint.
And if you happen to be watching this, I think you know I love to paint.
It is a joy that I almost lost.
I love to handwrite letters, and it's a joy that I almost lost because my hands were in so much pain all the time.
Relief Factor changed that.
I can paint again.
Relief Factor is not a drug, developed by doctors, and 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
You can order the three-week quickstart for only $19.95.
So what do you have to lose?
Time to kick the pain out of your life.
Right now, go to relieffactor.com, 800-500-8384.
800-500-8384.
It's relieffactor.com.
This is the Glimbeck program.
Hey, tonight, don't miss the Radio Hall of Fame, the broadcast.
Tonight at 7 p.m.
Eastern, I'm being inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame and
I'm excited to
be associated with it and to be inducted in the Hall of Fame.
It's quite an honor.
But you can hear it on the iHeart iHeart Radio app.
Just search for Radio Hall of Fame.
You can also find it at Sirius XM on the Triumph channel and you can find it on the Blaze Radio Network if you are a Blaze subscriber.
So that's tonight.
Really cool.
Yeah.
Really cool.
Yeah.
But if
the Radio Hall of Fame was traded on the stock market, I think you would see a giant dip in
its price.
It is weird.
I mean, you think starting your career a million years ago when you were, what, 13 years old?
Yeah.
Did you ever picture?
No.
You don't even think about that, though.
You know?
Yeah, you think about, I mean, obviously, you do spend a lot of time in radio thinking about your success and
doing the shinko, but you don't think that's a good thing.
And you never think, I mean, it's weird.
I mean, Don Imus is one of the greatest broadcasters of all time, in my opinion, and an idol.
And he's in the Radio Hall of Fame.
You don't, when you're there, you don't feel, it kind of cheapens it.
You know what I mean?
You're kind of like, oh, well, if I'm in it, it can't be.
It can't be that good.
So anyway, that happens tonight.
Don't forget
our special that we did last night on the first hundred days of the Biden administration.
You can find that on YouTube or on Blaze.
And this afternoon or this evening, we will be releasing my podcast.
I'm about to do it in here in a little while.
My podcast, An Hour with Dave Rubin, talking about how serious is the left and what changes people's minds.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
