Martha listens to her favorite band all the time.

In the car,

gym,

even sleeping.

So when they finally went on tour, Martha bundled her flight and hotel on Expedia to see them live.

She saved so much, she got a seat close enough to actually see and hear them.

Sort of.

You were made to scream from the front row.

We were made to quietly save you more.

Expedia, made to travel.

Savings vary and subject to availability, flight inclusive packages are at all protected.

Let me tell you about our spotlight sponsor for The Blaze.

Man, I feel bad for you if

you're in a blue state.

Oh my gosh, you're taking a bath.

It would be, I mean, imagine if you had New York City real estate right now.

Oh my God.

I thought if you had James Alterscher on talking about that.

I mean, who's coming back?

People said that they know people that left their apartment six months ago.

The apartment is still empty.

That never happened in New York.

Never happened.

Anyway, if you're looking to move, you need the right real estate agent for the sell and for the buy.

Big, big, important show today.

Stand by.

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

This is the Glenn Best Program.

Hello, America.

You would imagine that the strongest hurricane to hit Louisiana in 160 years might be a lead story, but it's not.

In fact, this is probably the only time I'm going to have time to mention it today.

Mercury one already has volunteers and services on the ground in Louisiana ready to offer aid.

If you would like to help and be a part of a solution and not a problem, just go to mercury1.org.

Now let's go to Wisconsin.

There was more violence last night and finally the governor the governor said, okay, okay, okay, Donald Trump, help.

And so they're sending in troops.

We have Ken Cuccinelli,

the acting deputy secretary of DHS.

He's going to be on with us in a half hour.

And a look at the shooting that happened the night before last in Kenosha.

But the truth, not the way the media is spinning it.

And because we had reporters on the ground, we know the truth.

We share that in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

So Sandra was having trouble sleeping for a very, very long time because all throughout the night she would wake up in pain.

I mean, if you are like this, you can relate.

The problem was inflammation in her joints, that aching feeling you get through your whole body when you have the flu.

That's a miserable feeling.

And that's the way she felt night after night after night.

No hope in sight for any kind of change.

As she was beginning to despair, a friend told her about Relief Factor.

She was skeptical, but she was also desperate.

And I think that's where people get.

When they order Relief Factor, they're like, okay, I got to try something else.

She got her life back.

She got her life back.

Just in a few days, she said she's began feeling a difference.

She takes it every day now.

I take it three times a day, Monday, in the morning, at lunch, and at dinner.

And it has made a huge difference in my life.

Relief Factor, not a drug, but developed by doctors.

70% of the people who go on to try it go on to order more.

Order the three-week quick start.

It's $19.95.

What do you have to lose besides your pain?

Get your life back.

Go to ReliefFactor.com now, ReliefFactor.com or call 800-500-8384-relieffactor.com.

All right.

There is a story at the Blaze.

Unfortunately, it's still an exclusive story.

It came out yesterday, and we pieced the shooting in Kenosha together with all of the videotape that we had, Daily Caller, and we pieced this together yesterday.

And by yesterday afternoon,

we knew what the real story was.

The mainstream media is still not picking it up.

Go to theblaze.com and read the story.

Video evidence appears to show first Kenosha shooting victim charging the shooter.

Now, I want to go through this with you, and if we can, we're going to play

some of the video if you happen to be watching us on Blaze TV right now, which by the way, you can watch for free the live stream, which doesn't give you everything from Blaze TV, but it gives you a live daily stream on Pluto TV.

And I think that's a free app.

You just download the app.

It's free television.

All right.

So, what we have, what the media is saying is that this guy came down, this 17-year-old kid, because he was all hepped up on Donald Trump and guns, and he wanted to shoot some people.

That's the way the media is spinning this.

But I want you to know they're going to have a hard time proving that with all of the video that we happen to have now on this.

First of all,

let me play

the McGinnis interviews, the shooter.

Now, this is the guy who is called a murderer now,

and he's 17 years old.

this happened about a half an hour before the shooting listen and watch what are you doing out here obviously you're armed and uh you're in front of this business we saw burning last night so what's up so people are getting injured and our job is to protect this business and part of my job is some help people if there's somebody hurt i'm running into harm's way that's why i have my resident because i can protect myself obviously but i'll let my med kid

okay

so this seems like a nice kid and he's not not calling for a revolution.

He's not, he's saying, I'm here to protect this business.

And he's just standing on the side of the street, and he said, I'm going to protect myself, but I have the med kit, and I'm going to go out and help people.

Okay.

Now, let's show the video.

Do we have the video of the taunt?

I don't know if we can play this because it has so much extreme

language.

But what we have is the video where the guy who gets shot is seen wearing a maroon shirt, Capri-length jeans, which were fabulous, white sneaker, white socks, and a tan belt.

And he comes up

to that kid and he is calling him the N-word.

Why he's calling him the N-word, I don't know.

But he's like,

Come on, man, shoot me, N.

Shoot me, shoot me, N.

And he's just taunting that kid.

Kid doesn't respond.

Then we have, that video is from Julio Rosas.

The next video we have shows that kid being chased by the guy in the Capri pants and the red shirt and the tan belt and the white sneakers being chased while he's throwing things at that kid, shouting at him.

So he is taunting him again, and the kid is running away.

Then the third video is the shooting.

Do we have the actual shooting?

Where he is walking around that building where he was interviewed being peaceful just 30 minutes before.

He's walking around that building.

He turns around and he sees the guy in the Capri pants and the red shirt again chasing him.

And he's chasing him and he's right up on top of him.

He turns around, freaks out, shoots.

He doesn't hit the guy, I don't think, at that point.

Then he continues to run.

The guy is continuing to chase him.

He turns around, shoots him in the head.

Now, that seems like self-defense.

Not what you were hearing from Lawrence O'Donnell.

Let me play what Lawrence O'Donnell said last night.

It does seem, as we sit here tonight, like an inevitable outgrowth of what's been happening with Trump rhetoric with Trump rhetoric the concept of

open carry and bring my rifle to every public demonstration and public health and there you see him there you see the 17 year old just firing away right just firing away non-stop

so Lawrence O'Donnell is absolutely either uninformed or lying

There's only two things.

So Lawrence, which is it?

You're uninformed and you're intentionally uninformed?

You refuse to look for video evidence before you go on national television?

You had the whole day, Larry.

There's video, all kinds of video, but the problem is it's not from any of your networks because none of the networks are there.

None of the networks are there.

Why?

Since when don't we have networks covering things like riots in the United States?

We had cameras everywhere in the riots in the Middle East.

We can't get riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Can't get cameras there.

You don't want to know the truth.

So we have cameras.

Cameras don't lie.

You can manipulate.

But we have it from so many different angles.

Now, the one that he was showing, look, there's that guy.

He's just shooting people.

No, Larry, if you look at the video evidence, we now have the video evidence that the guy he shot in the arm and practically blew the arm off.

Do you know what was in the hand of that arm?

A gun.

He was coming to execute that kid in the street.

He was coming.

He had a gun and he was pointing it right at the kid.

The kid shot his arm.

Didn't shoot and killed him.

Shot his arm.

He dropped the gun.

Interesting.

This is,

thank God for these reporters, but I beg of you

to pray for them.

One of them, I think it was from the Daily Caller, last night was robbed.

They took his bulletproof vest.

These guys are in real, real danger.

Real danger.

And they're doing it because somebody has to record it or it's the Reichstag moment.

Look at the lies that are happening on mainstream media.

They want to paint this as Donald Trump.

It's not Donald Trump.

Let me play the mother yesterday.

Let me play the mother of Jacob Blake.

She just lost her son.

Listen to her.

You.

The destruction that

has been taking place in cities across the country and

in Kenosha.

I heard you speak about that.

And my question is: you said that you don't want that in Jacob's name, and neither would he.

Tell me more about that, please.

Absolutely not.

My family and I are

very

hurt

and

quite frankly, disgusted.

And as his mother,

please don't

up property and

cause havoc and tear your own homes down in my son's name you shouldn't do it people shouldn't do it anyway

but to

use

my child or any other mother or father's child our tragedy

to react in that manner

is just not acceptable

and it's not helping jacob it's not helping Jacob or any other women or women how can I get her to say

do you have anything to say miss Jackson to

the politicians who are out there or do you anything you want to say

to the presidents or the candidates or to Oshawa or Biden or he's saying this about Trump because Trump made a statement for about President Trump

first first I want to say a family member, and I don't know if it was her

or not,

said something that was

not kind.

She is hurting, and

I do apologize for that.

Our outburst that

does not reflect our behavior.

Listen to that.

And then also

take the camera off of that.

President Trump.

I'm sorry I missed your call

because had I not missed your call, maybe the comments that you made would have been different.

And I'm not mad at you at all.

I have most respect for you as the leader of our country.

Right now, producers like, get her off the air, get her off the air, get her off the air.

Like I said before, and I'm not saying this to him directly.

We should always get the details from the right source

before we start throwing bricks

okay thank you very much uh she's obviously grieving and doesn't know what she's talking about she's uh boy you can't ever really we hate to have people on who are grieving like that we should probably stop or vet them more before we have them on that's amazing the graciousness the graciousness of this woman

And the common sense, clear thinking.

I'm going to tell you what I had a conversation with my kids last night on a way to be killed.

You want to be dead?

I'm going to show you how to be dead by this afternoon.

That's the conversation I had because my daughter came to me and said,

Dad, now this is my youngest daughter, she said, Dad, this guy was just trying to get into his car to take his kids to school.

That's all that was happening.

And the police shot him.

I said, where did you hear that?

Social media.

Okay, well, that's not what happened.

And so I explained it to them.

And I said, I just, I want to stop talking about this particular

shooting.

And I want to tell you right now, kids, the way to die

by tonight.

If you want to die, I'm going to show you how to do it.

I'll share that in 60 seconds.

All right.

Right now, we are, you know, our kids are in school.

Most of them are virtually in school.

And

we have cyber criminals looking, getting on the internet.

And our kids are doing it with laptops and tablets and phones if they have them.

The most dangerous thing they face is what they're actually learning from school.

Marxism, Black Lives Matter, and everything we covered last night on our special.

But the second thing, the most dangerous thing for your family while they're now online with school are the cyber criminals because they can get in on if the school is giving you a new tablet or whatever.

Is that protected?

Is somebody hacking into that and getting on to your servers and your systems?

Good news is you can help your family now stay more private and secure with Norton 360.

You're getting a real-time protection from existing and emerging cyber threats, but you also get a VPN and a password manager.

A VPN will make sure that nobody's getting into your server.

This is bank-grade encryption.

Now, nobody can prevent all cybercrime, but Norton is committed to helping you make back to school easier and safer for your family.

For a special offer, it ends in September on September 6th.

Go to norton.com/slashbeck and you'll get 60% off Norton 360.

That's 60% off of Norton 360.

It's so well worth it.

Something you need to protect your family.

Norton.com/slash Beck.

10 seconds, station ID.

All right.

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

When my daughter started saying this, and like most people, most people, most adults are like 14-year-olds right now.

They just see it on social social media and they just buy it.

That's not what happened.

That's not what happened.

However,

take yourself out of that situation.

Here's what we should all be telling our kids: black, white, brown, yellow, doesn't matter.

Here's what we should be telling our kids today.

If you want to die, here's what I recommend you do.

You wrestle a police officer to the ground.

You first give him back talk.

You treat him in a hostile way.

Maybe you even tell him you have a weapon.

Then you wrestle him to the ground.

Or he wrestles you to the ground because you're not doing what he asks you to do.

So they wrestle you to the ground.

You escape.

They pull their guns on you.

You see that they pull their guns on you.

And they're saying, stop or we'll shoot.

Stop or we'll shoot.

And you run to a car and you disregard them.

and you open your door and lunge for what looks like you're going for your glove compartment.

Kids, you'll be dead by this afternoon.

So if you want to die, go do that because that'll happen to you.

I don't care what color you are.

That's how to die.

Now there's another way to die.

You didn't say you're on the side of the police or law and order.

There's another way to die or go to jail.

And that is you can be Mother Teresa and you're going in to give aid and you want to help the situation.

Well, do what Mother Teresa did.

Don't pack a gun.

If you want to do that, I don't recommend it because you might die just for being an angel of mercy.

Don't go to a riot.

Don't for any reason go to a riot.

Don't be around a riot.

Don't say, hey, it might be fun to watch the riot.

If you want to be an angel of mercy, I suggest you talk to your priest, your rabbi, your bishop, your family, and say, hey, I want to do this.

And then you can have that conversation of, well, you know, you may not make it home.

You may get caught up into something because it's a volatile situation.

And then somebody of reason would say, but don't bring a gun.

Because unless you're somebody who's really good with a gun,

you're probably going to have it turned around on you.

Or in this atmosphere, you will definitely, definitely have the situation turned around on you.

So if you don't die, you're most likely going to go to jail because I don't believe there is such a thing as a fair jury anymore because you're going to be convicted in the press.

So you want to go to jail?

You want to die?

That's how you do it.

Now, what parent isn't telling that to their kid?

What parent that actually cares about their kid isn't saying those things, isn't pointing to these things and saying, don't do it.

Don't do it.

The whole world is

on a hair trigger right now.

Don't do it.

Maybe that's just me.

Seems like a fun conversation to have.

Hey, kids, want to know how to die?

That's the Glenn Beck home with my kids conversation right now.

No,

it didn't come out of the blue.

They were saying, you know,

defending the kid who went for medical help.

And I hate to condemn him because I think he was trying to do, he seemed like a nice kid

from what we've seen.

The kid came with medical help and had the rifle and ended up shooting people.

You know, he probably wouldn't have been targeted if he didn't have a gun.

You have a right to bear arms.

You do.

But

this was not his community.

He came from Illinois.

This was not his community.

So, and what parent said to him, to their 17-year-old son, oh, you know what?

School night, you know what?

Here, grab my rifle and go to Kenosha by yourself.

Yeah, we have no idea if anyone actually, you know, apparently.

No, we have no idea.

Yeah, that's the part, you know, especially like if you're a former special ops and you're there to, you know, to protect a neighborhood, I can completely understand it.

You're a guy who, you're a 17-year-old.

I mean, that's, man, that's, I, and I, I appreciate the fact that I think this kid really was trying to be a good kid from what we know right and this is what happens when chaos rules because your elected officials won't do anything you know here's here's a way not to die stop electing these morons

this is the Glenn Beck program

Gold line, a lot rides on this presidential election.

A lot rides on it.

The Democrats' approach to handling the economy is bad enough.

But with the things

that have happened so far this year and how far they will go, you think our spending is bad now?

Oh my gosh.

They're talking about spending trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars.

The dollar will be worthless in 18 months.

Worthless.

I don't know what's going to happen, but I can tell you the key word is chaos.

And

the global elite, I believe, are hell-bent on destroying capitalism, resetting it, and resetting the global currency not to be the U.S.

dollar.

Please, please call Goldline today and do your own homework.

This.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

Okay, so last night things got out of control again in Wisconsin.

I mean, I can't believe we're here even without the conventions.

I told you for what two years, Wisconsin, I would sell my house right now in Wisconsin.

Democratic convention is going to be held there.

This is going to be a summer of blood, and

I wouldn't want to own property there because it's going to be riots.

Without the convention,

it's happening.

And I think worse

than

I would have expected

this quickly, at least.

And the

federal government has finally been allowed in.

The governor yesterday said to Donald Trump, okay, okay, help.

So he sent them in.

Now, we have Ken Cuccinelli on the phone.

He's the

I want to get this right here.

Hang on.

I don't even have my glasses on.

He is the acting deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

Ken, welcome to the program.

Always good to be with you, Glenn.

So, Ken,

you guys are in a really tough position.

Tell me what you're planning on doing and when does help arrive in Wisconsin.

So that's fair to say, but I would note that unlike, say, the Portland story that we've all been following for three months, and of course, I've been in the middle of it, Here we have a governor who at least is willing to use his National Guard for one of the things

they exist for, and that is keeping the peace.

He didn't bring enough numbers initially, but he kept moving the numbers up to get to a point where they're adequate.

And he and the president spoke, of course, and the president has spoken vehemently about his desire for peace in all these communities and the willingness to move people in.

And this is the peace through strength plan in the civilian environment, Glenn.

It's you bring enough law enforcement, responsibly executed,

and there is no violence.

We saw that happen in Minneapolis after the tragic killing of George Floyd as the first reaction in Minneapolis was give them room to riot, the old Baltimore concept.

Well, that didn't work.

And so then they brought in the guard, and lo and behold, things were calmed down because those who contemplated violence knew there were consequences.

And we're seeing that shift take place in Wisconsin.

Do we wish it happened faster?

Yes.

But you'll see the Department of Justice is moving over 200 marshals, FBI agents, ATF agents into Kenosha.

They've also got extra prosecution help up there, all in addition to

the guard commitments from the president and the willingness of Governor Evers to use

So here's the problem that we have.

The left has run unchecked, and the American people, I mean 5 million new gun owners in the United States just in the first quarter of this year or second quarter of this year.

And that's all because people feel like there's

nobody to protect me.

This is why the Second Amendment says a well-regulated militia.

And a militia is happening as your last resort.

There's nobody coming to help you.

And that's, I think, where people are starting to feel, and that becomes very dangerous.

So how do you guys,

at the federal level, because

I'm a federalist.

I believe in the state power.

Yeah, you too.

So how do you balance this so it doesn't spiral out of control?

Because the left wants a fight.

They want it.

They do in many respects.

I mean, you can see lots of these politicians on the left who encourage the violent protesters, but without condemning the violence.

Correct.

And even using the phrase violent protesters is not accurate.

Those are rioters and criminals and in some cases terrorists.

So

we

do need to fix that even myself.

But that kind of encouragement reaches a situation like we saw in Portland last weekend, where you then get, and Kenosha, frankly, you get people who don't believe that law enforcement is going to be provided or allowed to do its job adequately, and they start showing up to do it.

And very sort of frontier mentality, if you will, in some cases.

But also, it's other groups who are looking to fight.

And if you don't calm that violence soon and relatively quickly, you invite that kind of violence which really spirals out of control.

That's war in the streets

between different Americans.

And they may all be misbehaving, to put it mildly,

but they've been given free reign to do so by the left-wing leadership in those communities.

And then you asked the Federalist question, which is one I'm very sensitive to.

I'm sure that's no surprise to you.

We have limited federal jurisdiction.

The federal government isn't just another police

office.

Yeah.

We can't be.

No, we don't want that.

That is a, you know, it's really bad.

You get what you vote for.

Yes.

And in Portland, they're getting destruction.

And they're not going to, I mean, who would you open a business in Portland in the next 50 years?

I wouldn't.

No.

No, it's going to destroy these cities.

It is going to destroy these cities.

That's right.

And

the people least able to adjust to that are the poorest people in those cities.

So, Ken, help me out on this.

You used to be the attorney general for the state of Virginia.

This kid that shot the guy in the head the other day and then shot the other guy in the arm, he is being painted as

just this militia white supremacist kind of guy.

I would not want my kid down there.

I would tell them not to go.

I would say, even if you want to be an angel of mercy, then you have to be like Mother Teresa.

Don't bring a gun.

It's a dangerous, dangerous situation.

However, we have him on tape a half hour before

talking about his view.

He seems like he's just there.

He's like, look, I'm only bringing my gun because I'm not stupid.

I know it's dangerous and I'm going to defend myself, but I'm here to do medical aid.

Then you have the guy who was killed.

We have him on three different occasions taunting and chasing and tackling this kid.

The third time is when he turns because he's right on top of him and shoots.

And he continues to chase him, and then he shoots him in the head.

Then the other guy that he shoots while he's laying down, we have video of that guy approaching him with a gun, pointing it to him like execution style.

And that's when he shoots that guy's arm off.

They're charging him with first-degree murder.

How?

Well,

that's a pretty

knee-jerk reaction.

And, you know, they're charging him because he shot people, but you're going to see, undoubtedly, the self-defense argument made.

I tweeted on this yesterday, noting with a lot of the interviews that this kid happened to give beforehand, he was not speaking against any of the people protesting or any of the abuse.

So, you know, you've got to, and my point that I was tweeting about is this is complex investigation.

And to your point, the instant labeling is likely inaccurate, though I don't have enough information information to draw conclusions.

Neither do I.

I don't want to do that either, but my point is, neither does anybody else.

Correct.

But there's a desire to paint a narrative out there that there's a lot of evidence just with this particular kid that doesn't seem to fit.

So

I would note that to our earlier discussion, when you let violence run amok like this, you get people who just feel like they're

doing their duty backing up police.

Correct.

Obviously, without the training, without the coordination of mutual support of other security forces,

going out there and

trying to do what this kid was doing.

And you end up with this kind of scattered violence.

And

I don't think anybody wants that anywhere in any of their cities.

And yet, I mean, Kenosha, it's not like,

you know, Detroit.

I know, but I tell you, Ken.

I can't see any city in America.

We had several reports last night of neighborhoods,

people walking down the street, 3 o'clock in the morning, wake up, wake up, give us your houses.

I got emails from Richmond.

I know there's nothing has happened in Richmond, per se.

I got an email yet this morning about incidents like this from last night.

Multiple gunshots as well.

When that happens, you will have

citizens watch parties and they'll have guns.

Because if they feel the police are not going to help them, they will band together.

And that's a bad situation.

But I completely understand it.

If I think police are not coming to my neighborhood, you're damn right I've got a gun and I'll shoot you on my property.

Well, and honestly,

self-defense is the most, the single most important thing the Second Amendment is for, right?

Right.

So

there were no police in 1791

when

that was ratified.

And

there weren't for many, many years in the United States.

So people are used to the cultural requirement of police being protected, being their first line of defense.

We are our own first line of defense.

And when you are in cities where you've got politicians who refuse, as we see in Portland,

to do police work,

then you can can fully expect to see more of this kind of response.

People are going to take things on themselves, and they don't have crowd control munitions.

When they're threatened, they only have one next step to go to, and that's shooting for self-defense.

If we want to avoid this, we need better leadership in many of these cities.

Ken, I know

you're a little busy today, so I know your time pressure.

Let me just ask you one more question.

I started the show saying, normally, the biggest storm to hit Louisiana in 160 years, the most powerful storm to hit that area in 160 years, would be the lead story in all anybody's talking about.

But we have so many other things.

I don't want to lose sight of that.

What are you guys doing down there?

So Laura made landfall at 2 a.m.

this morning Eastern Time.

It came with a big storm surge.

Very big.

And, you know, we measure these hurricanes on wind, but the water does so much damage.

And

that's where our fear resides more than anything.

We pre-positioned 500,000 meals, 800,000 liters of water, and numerous teams to be prepared to respond as soon as the danger struck.

And all our teams are in action right now.

Laura has not moved out of Louisiana.

It's moving northeast.

probably crossing the state for the duration of the day, headed into Arkansas.

And

the secretaries talked to both governors

yesterday.

And

as much teamwork and preparation as we can do is in place.

And we in the federal government are supportive.

That's our role is to support the state and local responses.

And while Louisiana is experienced at this, it's not the kind of experience any state wants.

So we're prepared to do an awful lot of work to help keep folks safe there and to help those communities recover.

And that's something the president already declared emergencies.

He's got us leaning forward as far as we can.

81 miles north of Lake Charles, the real scary thing in New Orleans really is New Orleans because it's just a bowl.

And if it fills up, how is New Orleans doing?

Have you heard?

Well, as of yesterday, I actually talked to folks in New Orleans, and

when you compare weather across the whole front, they were doing pretty well.

As As you note, you know, we talked about water.

The flooding can hit New Orleans later.

It doesn't have to be immediate.

So that's something that the Army Corps and the rest of us will keep our eye on as well.

Okay, Ken.

Thank you very much.

Ken Cuccinelli from the Department of Homeland Security.

Thank you.

I feel so much better having somebody like that in the Department of Homeland Security, where he is such a strong Federalist, does not want federal control of

police.

All right, I want to tell you about Jason.

He's from Texas.

He wrote and he said, I have a nine-year-old Great Dane with a thyroid problem.

Oh, my God.

He said she would recently sleep 23 hours out of the day.

That was before he tried Rough Greens.

He said, I can't believe the difference.

She does a happy dance all the way to her bowls.

Same with my dog.

She is so much more active, even jumped on my shoulders twice last week.

Holy.

She hadn't been able to to do that in five years.

That's my dog.

I think I'd probably cut down on the rough greens there myself.

He said, it's been an amazing transformation.

He says, it's not a dog food.

It's right.

It's a supplement, and she loves it.

So all you do is you put it on your dog's food that you're feeding them, and it has all of the stuff that they love and all of the stuff that they need.

You will see a difference in your dog.

My dog is amazing now.

Amazing.

Give your dog a rough greens 14-day jumpstart bag today, $14.95.

See the difference in your dog in 14 days or less.

I will tell you, I've been feeding Uno this for about six months and I keep seeing changes.

I mean, we were talking about it last night.

We were sitting on the couch watching the convention, and he came up, kept coming up with his ball, like, come on, come on, let's play it, come on, let's play.

And it's like, it's 10 o'clock at night, dude.

He's young again.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, it's another fun day, isn't it?

Stu, it's another

fun.

Every day is fun, Glenn.

2020 is the greatest year of all time.

It really is.

It really is.

I heard somebody describe 2020 as having an argument with somebody who keeps trying to leave the room and then comes back and goes, and another thing.

The thing I keep getting scared about is every year since at least 2015, people were like, oh, I can't wait for 2016.

And then it was, oh, I can't wait for 2017.

This year's been a disaster.

And every year, everyone says it at the end of the year.

And every year.

I'm not hoping for 2021.

2021 is going to be worse.

Can you imagine what 20 days of your pandemic?

Can you imagine what 2025 is going to be like?

Oh, gosh.

Oh, my God.

You'd be like, look, there's an acre over there that's not on fire.

Hey, little Bobby doesn't have the chip in his head yet.

It's a scary, it's a scary time.

It really is.

But you know what?

I was, you know, because as you know, as a conservative, I was totally for white police officers just going after black people for no reason whatsoever until they canceled those NBA games last night.

Now I'm against racism.

So that really worked.

You know what?

Thanks a lot, guys.

I was shocked by

with the NBA news, and you know, I don't follow sports, but I was shocked I think everybody was the WNBA is still in existence yeah and play yes wow incredible right who knew who knew shocking shocking news every single day

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

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Floods, fires, hurricanes, earthquakes.

Let's see.

Riots, wars, rumors of wars.

I mean, hello.

Welcome to America 2021.

What would be a lead story in any other parallel world,

the landfall of Hurricane Laura?

Laura slammed into Louisiana.

The highest winds, the most destructive force of a hurricane in Louisiana in 160 years.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those people in Louisiana in the path of these storms, but I want you to know Mercury One is also already on the ground.

If you want to help them, please just go to mercury1.org and donate.

You can help

your neighbors in Louisiana.

We've got to keep track of the people that we are and continue to help.

Kenosha, Wisconsin, finally, National Guard and FBI and ATF, all of them are coming in at request of the governor.

But there's a lot to talk about and we have a first-hand witness to talk about that in the bottom of the hour.

But also something else, it's got to be on your radar.

And I know nobody's talking about it, but it's got to be on your radar.

our kids right now are being trained to be change makers they are trained to be black lives matter activists in schools we last night exposed a dump a document dump from what's being taught in schools all across the country this fall you need to see it and you need to get out in front of it But it's worse than what we told you last night.

We're going to continue in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

But other than that, Mrs.

Lincoln, how was the play?

Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

The best testimony I think I can give you of Relief Factor is I was feeling fine, been feeling great.

My niece came to the house.

She has bad back pain.

And she said, Uncle Glenn, does Relief Factor really work?

And I said, yes.

And she said, well, I know you say that on the air.

She said, and I know that you wouldn't endorse it, but really?

And I said, yes.

And so I gave her my bag of Relief Factor, which meant that I stopped taking it until I could get another bag.

But people are stupid.

We always do the same thing.

Once we feel better, we're like, oh, I don't need this medication anymore.

And I actually, my wife looked at me like, dummy, don't give that all away.

And but I gave it all away.

And

my thought was, I've been feeling great lately.

Within a couple of days, my pain came back so badly.

I mean, I was wrapped from head to toe.

My hands,

it was almost like I was crippled with my hands.

It was horrible.

I learned my lesson.

Don't give my full bag of Relief Factor away.

Save some until the next bag comes.

Save some.

Relief Factor.

Please give it a try.

You have nothing to lose but the pain.

Get your life back.

So last night on our Wednesday night special, you can just find that on demand at Glenn TV.

You just go to blazetv.com slash Glenn

and then look for Glenn TV, and it will be our Wednesday night special there.

And last night's special

was about brainwashed.

Your kids are being brainwashed.

Black Lives Matter have have hijacked our schools.

And we showed you just some of the things.

All of the documents that we presented last night and a lot more are available at Glenbeck.com.

We ask for volunteers that will go through these

dossiers, if you will.

It's not 800 pages.

It's 800 files.

And we need people that are just, you know, bookworms that just go through this stuff and show us what we're missing and

help us out on research because we're a little overwhelmed with all of this stuff.

We have a very good friend of the program,

Yako Buens.

He is the president and founder of Share Together.

And

he's a guy from South Africa.

children,

has a passion for slavery, ending slavery.

Kind of a good one to have.

Yako is with us now.

I was talking to him the other day and told him what we had uncovered in our schools and he told me something that I hadn't even heard about that is is being introduced into all of our schools and I don't think you're going to be comfortable with it.

Yako, welcome to the program.

Glenn, thank you.

It's an honor to be with you and I will tell you that special last night was so timely.

So on point.

I want to thank you and the whole staff at the Blaze and your team.

It was excellent.

You know, Yako, I think, and also the things that we're going to present with you in a follow-up special,

I think the average person will think, oh, that's not happening at my school, or why am I not hearing about this everywhere?

And

the knee-jerk reaction, I think, for most is just blow it off.

I've got other things to worry about.

Absolutely.

Look,

the general American public's radar, what we call situational awareness, is zero.

We don't know what's going on in our country because we are very comfortable, and it's a good thing because we are free.

We are a free people about on the brink to lose freedom.

And I've lived under regimes where freedom wasn't there.

But we're going to talk to you, Glenn, in addition to what you did last night about something that's in the school system that's going to make the parents' spine tingle.

It's going to shake them to the core.

You unveiled last night, shook me to the the core and I'm in this fight for children every day of my life.

And this is a multi-pronged attack and you highlight it, just skimmed the surface on what you've uncovered on one of these angles.

And this is how you dismantle a society.

You've got to hit it from multiple angles.

And our children, hear me today.

The target is the children, because the children is the future.

If you can corrupt the children, you can corrupt America.

That was Hitler.

And you are.

And Yako, I've said this several times,

but I stand by it.

This isn't the Hitler youth, but this is the seeds of the Hitler youth.

This is how they did it.

And you've got to turn the children against the parents, and you have to teach them that your parents don't know they're old.

They're living in an old world.

They don't really understand.

So

you need to tell us if your parents are,

you know, haters or disagree with these things.

and that is in some of this document um and you are

you have been working on something that was brought in by gavin newsom into california and i just want to just want to hit on this because there are votes that are coming quickly but yeah tell me what tell me what this is

In your case, you're talking about an indoctrination of the children through political and societal rhetoric.

In our case, we're talking about them using the same groups using sex in the classroom,

using sex as a weapon, Glenn, as a weapon against our youth.

And Gavin Newsom volunteered and said, we will be first.

California will be first.

This program was tested in Africa, then Europe.

They tested it.

It was birthed in the World Health Organization.

And Gavin Newsom said, I'll be first.

And Governor Inslee said, I'll be second.

Now it's going to be tested here in Texas, not tested, implemented in Texas.

A vote comes down on September 4th, and it's most likely going to be in your schools.

And when you see it,

every adult I have shared this with have all said, I'm sick to my stomach.

It talks about mutual masturbation for third graders.

So if Johnny and Luke want to go out and pleasure each other, it's encouraged.

This kind of stuff goes right in line with Black Lives Matter and what they are pushing as well.

Remember,

they're pushing an end to sexual norms.

They're pushing an end to the nuclear family and all of the things that the Western world has said: this is good, this is bad.

They want to flip all of those things.

So, this is not separate from Black Lives Matter.

These are the same people, same groups, same kinds of people.

100%.

It's like a boxer.

You need a jab and an uppercut, right?

And so they'll deliver the jab with political rhetoric, and then they'll bring the most violent weapon of all, sex, immorality, destroying young lies.

Because if you can destroy that life

morally,

that child, when he's in his 20s, 30s, will fasten the ankle bracelets to government himself.

He'll be a subordinate.

And he'll be trained in the classroom, as you showed us last night, what rhetoric to follow, what lies to spew and they'll literally become subordinates and but they have to break the children they'll indoctrinate them you said last night open mind in comes their rhetoric and if you can break them morally by having them agree things such as what we're going to unveil through your show giving children sexual agency at age three

The parents do not have agency, sexual agency.

And Texas has to wake up.

This is in over 27 states in the United States.

It's being mandated like a brush fire through our country.

It is literally to break the children morally and then indoctrinate them with this

far-left rhetoric.

Yako, thank you so much for what you do.

Thank you for the help.

You're working with us on a couple of specials.

And

thank God for people like you.

Thank you so much.

Okay,

I got a letter in, really disturbing, and I want an expert to answer it.

We'll do that in 60 seconds.

Standby.

All right, my Patriot Supply.

I mean, do I need to give you a list of why you should stock up on food?

Let me tell you that yesterday

I met with my

security staff, and I said, I am putting you on DEF CON 1 notice.

Start the engines, and I want to make sure that we are completely up to date and up to speed on anything, because I believe that...

A civil war could break out at any time.

I don't think it's impossible to think that we will be in civil war by Christmas.

I hope to God that's not it.

I pray that it doesn't happen, but we need miracles more than ever.

And

we also need to be prepared.

So please, please prepare.

My Patriot Supply.

Last time they were on,

it was when COVID hit, and I did, I think, like five commercials, and they were so backed up, they had to stop doing commercials so they could catch up.

This is the first week they're back.

This is commercial number three

that I've read.

And

they have expanded and gotten ready for a big rush.

But I'm telling you, don't delay.

Please, don't delay.

Get at least a four-week supply of emergency food from MyPatriot Supply, the original Patriot preparedness company, mypatriotsupply.com.

Do it right now.

10 seconds, station ID.

So, yesterday, I had Rebecca Friedrichs on.

She wrote a book called Standing Up to Goliath, and she's the founder and president of For Kids and Country.

And

she just gave the speech at the RNC on the teachers' union.

She knows exactly what's going on, and she's very brave, used to be a teacher, now standing up against the teachers' union, and that is the problem, the teachers' union.

And Rebecca, welcome to the program.

First of all, did we miss anything last night in our special that you thought we really needed to hit?

Oh, your special was so great.

I mean, there's just millions of things we could have added to it.

You know, some things I would love to address later and just help you and your listeners to understand on a deeper level.

But you are on the right track.

Okay.

And I would love to help.

Okay.

So it's amazing how many people reached out

to the show with additional information last night.

And I do want to have you in and I do want to have

a long conversation with you, probably on radio for sure, because it's the broadest audience and we'll do some specials on this as well.

Sounds great.

Let me give you

an email that I got last night, and

this is just one of many like this.

Dear Mr.

Beck, I live in a small Missouri town in the center of rural America.

After hearing your show this morning, I called my son's school politely, and I asked them to find out what my child will be learning this year in reference to Black Lives Matter, social justice, and the history of oppression.

The secretary, they answered the phone, continued to say, I don't understand what you're asking, but we have to have the name of the student.

I politely declined to name my child because I assumed it would be public information and I didn't want to take the chance of my son being singled out due to my questions.

Secretary reluctantly took my number and first name.

She said she would pass it on to the superintendent and she hung up on me in mid-sentence.

So the superintendent called me back a few hours later and I explained to him that I simply want to know how I can find out what my child will be learning

this year.

The tone from him immediately was condescending and after asking for some clarification on some of his answers, I was accused of wanting to argue regardless of what he said.

I assured him that was not my attention or what was happening.

The end result was him finally telling me that I should email each teacher and ask them what lessons would be, as he didn't know what every individual teacher taught.

So I asked for clarification once again: How can you tell me that there's nothing like that in this area and then say you don't know what teachers are teaching?

I was then called crazy, paranoid, and once again asked for my son's information.

I politely refused.

Again, I explained that I didn't want my son being targeted, regardless of how small the chance was.

I was called such an imaginative thinker and and hung up on it.

This is the usual response that people are made to feel

stupid and like conspiracy

theorists.

Okay, Glenn, your listener's experience is exactly the same experience of every parent and every teacher I know who has tried to push back against all of this agenda.

And so last night you said something, you'll lose your children.

That's not hyperbole.

You are exactly accurate about that.

And that is what's happening to this parent, this mother who sent this letter to you.

It's the father.

Yeah, go ahead.

Oh, the father.

Well, good for him.

We need our men stepping up.

Thank you, father.

Get out there, dad.

So what this father experienced, these school districts are so fully controlled by the teachers' unions who are Marxists.

So people need to understand when you go in to talk to the secretary, why isn't she just handing you the curricula?

That's what should happen.

You have every right to see the curricula.

The reason you don't is because the teachers' unions are in full control of the schools.

And even if you're in a safe state like Tennessee, do not blink your eyes.

They're there.

They're in every single state.

And the state teachers' unions are just as brutal as the national teachers' unions in every single state.

So their goal is to fully undermine parental authority.

That's what Marxists do.

They want your kids.

So in fact,

just so your listeners know, in most states right now, a parent cannot even view their children's own, their own child's medical records when the child's 14 years old.

And they're trying to push for younger years.

Parents have no idea.

We've already lost

so many of our rights as parents.

That's what this parent is experiencing.

What do they mean they can't tell us what each teacher is teaching?

That is ridiculous.

They should know know what every teacher is teaching, and if they're teaching something inappropriate, they should be fired.

But the problem is they want teachers to teach something inappropriate, and they want to undermine parents.

So what does this person do?

They've been humiliated.

They've gone to the superintendent of schools.

I'm sure they're going to go to the

teachers.

But

his concern is my child's going to be targeted now.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

And his child will be targeted if they figured out who he is.

That's what they do.

They isolate people, even children.

So last night, you and Secretary DeVos were talking about how parents should approach their local school boards and they should approach their state legislators for help.

Well, that would be a good idea if the school board and the legislatures weren't corrupt.

So in some instances, you can talk to your school board, but it's rare.

Obviously, this guy can't.

They're corrupt.

So in California, we have done this.

We have gone to the state legislature and been bullied.

and we've been bullied by local school boards, county school boards, by all sorts of quote-unquote public servants.

So my goal is to make government unions outlawed.

That is my number one goal in life, to make sure that they cannot be in existence anymore in our government schools.

We shouldn't even have government-run schools.

They should be local.

So I would encourage this dad to, you know, he can reach out to us and get on board with helping to expose what's going on in these schools.

Okay.

So

all right.

So here's what I would love to have you on.

Maybe we'll do this next week.

I would love to have you on and

gather the information of

people need to start.

If they have got a union, we need a union.

We need a union of parents all across this country that are standing together in one block.

So if you can tell us how to do that and how to

approach our schools, what to do, how to organize in our own schools.

I mean, we're so far behind the eight ball because we're not organizers.

We're just doers.

Exactly.

Well, you know what, Glenn?

We started an organization called For Kids and Country.

The whole idea behind our organization is to help get parents and teachers, good ones, standing together to reclaim our schools, to restore things.

This is our whole mission.

And we're just thrilled to have you on board now because we're small and we're new and we don't have a loud voice.

So with someone like you helping, there's no stopping us.

Well, I urge you to go for kids and country.

And as Rebecca just said, this is not hyperbole.

You know you're on the verge of losing your country.

You feel it.

Whether you want to recognize it or not, you feel something is very wrong and something dangerous is coming.

I'm telling you right now, you are also on the verge of losing your children.

And you must stand against these teachers' unions.

Man, I, oof.

There's so many things going on today, and we want to keep track of as many as we can and bring you up to speed.

Yesterday, we told you what was going on in Kenosha and the shooting that happened.

And

this morning we had the

deputy secretary or

assistant secretary of DHS on with us, Ken Cuccinelli.

He was talking about the National Guard not only going down to Louisiana and everything that's been happening with the federal government down in Louisiana, but also the Wisconsin governor finally said to Donald Trump, okay, okay, we'll take your help.

So they're on their way up to Kenosha.

One of the,

really, the only reason we know what's going on and that there is a chance that what's now being called the Rittenhouse incident

is known and doesn't become the Reichstag fire is because we have people on the ground, really brave reporters who are willing to go in

and

videotape.

And so we have this incident from like four different angles now.

None of them from the networks.

The networks are saying this was straight-up murder.

Well, I don't know.

I think you could make a case that, not even close, but we'll see how this plays out.

Richie McGinnis, he is with the Daily Caller, and he is the chief video director, and he has been there.

In fact, he's the guy who first rushed to the guy that was shot in the head and helped him into the ambulance, helped carry his body to help.

And Richie is with us now.

Richie, how are you?

I'm good, Glenn.

Thanks for having me on.

First of all, I mean this sincerely.

It's not just a quick, how are you?

You guys have got to be, you're running on very little sleep and there's got to be some PTSD

going on.

Are you sleeping?

Are you doing all right?

Well, last night I slept quite well, actually.

I think it actually took me a bit of time to sink in.

Yeah.

But

yeah, as far as that, I mean, that's the kind of stuff that our first responders and law enforcement do.

I know.

Do you have a bulletproof vest?

Not yet, but

you have one coming?

I'm going to drown in front of me the other night.

Yeah, I think I should get one.

Yeah, okay.

So

I would like to supply you with one,

and I will get you a vest, and we'll see what we can do to protect you.

I know you don't work with me, and we don't really know each other, but I really respect what you're doing and I really thank you

for being there to document it because we're in real trouble if somebody doesn't do what you're doing.

Tell me exactly what happened

that night.

What did you see?

So actually right before

the shooting took place, I witnessed the riot control clear out protesters from an area that had been burned out two consecutive nights.

And actually the night prior to the shooting, I saw the business that Kyle was standing in front of burning with the business owners and some employees of that business using a power washer to try to put out the fire because the fire trucks weren't coming.

And so the next night, I saw Kyle, along with a number of other armed men, some of them were also on the roof of the business, standing with what looked to be AR-15,

at least over Kyle's shoulder.

And I immediately asked if any of them would be interested in doing an interview as to why they were there.

And Kyle volunteered.

He actually didn't volunteer his name, but he said that he was willing to appear on camera and give an interview.

So I interviewed him for about two and a half minutes.

And

actually,

after the interview concluded, they said, we're going to go try to find

if anybody needs medical aid.

after this

the after the riot control just came through and tear gas people.

So they actually went out into the crowd to let the dealership to Kyle was trying to shouting out does anybody need medical aid does anybody need medical aid and that was just uh a few minutes before everything took place so that was where everything started and obviously things descended into chaos very quickly after that is there any indication from you Richie that he uh

was

you know a white supremacist that he had the intention of going out and shooting people or I mean they're they're charging him with first-degree murder

any any indication that that's who this guy was

so obviously I'm not going to speculate on the the legal side of things you know whether it was murder whether it was self-defense that's that's a force to decide but what I what I can say is that during the brief time that I met him he came across as a very young and innocent kid who

did not know the grand situation that he was in.

And again, I only spoke to him for about two minutes, and that was the first time I had ever even seen him before.

But that was my first perception.

He told me that he was there both to protect the business and to make sure that anybody who needed medical aid would get it.

And he also did note the absence of police and the necessity for somebody to provide a degree of law and order.

So that was, you know, again, it was only about a two and a half minute interaction.

So I

right.

Okay, so

you were there when he was, he didn't trip and fall.

He was kicked to the ground.

And a guy came at him with a skateboard, was going to beat him with that.

Another guy came at him with a gun.

I mean, he, he, this looks like total self-defense to me.

Did you see, did you witness that part of the shooting too?

Or were you with...

No.

So actually, I was in the hospital by then.

Okay.

Well, actually, I was heading to the hospital by then.

The shooting that I witnessed was the first shooting, which is the one playing right now.

And that was

when things really started.

I believe that the second shooting took place

very, very soon after.

But after the shots were fired, people were just looking for individuals with guns to, you know,

detain or whatever.

So even

the New York Times, even the New York Times said in their TikTok that they released today that

the guy who was shot was

pursuing.

We have him on tape as being a real antagonist to these guys, calling them all kinds of names that we can't say on the air, the N-word, etc., etc.

He was picking a fight.

He had tried to jump Rittenhouse several times, at least two that we know of.

And when you look at what the New York Times is reporting, they're saying that, and you can see it on the videotape, your videotape,

there is a shot.

He's running.

He sees the guy behind him.

He hears a shot.

He thinks he's being fired at.

He turns around, tries to shoot at the guy.

The guy continues to chase him.

I think it's six shots ring out from elsewhere that you can hear, right?

Yeah, I actually, that was my two of my colleagues.

who filmed the video.

I was actually six or seven feet behind them.

And once I realized that this situation was turning into a situation where somebody was going to get shot, I actually focused more on what was in front of me than

anything else.

My phone in my hand.

And actually, I was about seven feet behind them when

the people who were shot reached for Kyle's weapon.

I saw that happen.

And he basically avoided the

reach and then fired what I saw were three shots from Kyle's gun, but I also also heard some other shots coming from elsewhere.

So you're not you were behind.

Did you fear for your life?

Is it reasonable to believe that Kyle was freaking out thinking they were shooting at him?

Yeah, so actually I was running behind them because me being the middle of three brothers, my first instinct was to yell at them, to chill out, because I knew, and I've been in Seattle, I've been in Portland, I've been in New York, I've been to D.C.

these these protest zones things fire out of control very quickly.

So knowing that Kyle was a young man that I just interviewed with a very powerful weapon in his hands, I was trying to emphasize the fact that everybody just needed to stop because this was going to get bad quickly.

And basically the moment that I was doing that, I was running behind them, Kyle turned around.

And I'm not sure if he turned around because a shot rang out or if he turned around because the man was pursuing him and he felt cornered.

But what I do know is that the moment that he turned around, I entered the line of fire because I was behind that man, just about seven feet.

And you can see in the video, I'm actually standing right there.

I take about two steps back.

I'm not sure if it was Kyle's weapon or if it was the other shots that were fired, but I felt some concrete hit my legs.

And I assumed that that was some kind of ricochet or something.

But once I realized that I actually hadn't been hit, I ran over to provide medical aid to the man who was lying lifeless on the ground.

I actually didn't realize at the time I saw Kyle run, and I assumed that he was gone.

But he actually goes around the car and comes up behind me as I kneeled over him.

And I actually turned and just saw legs next to me.

I said, What are you doing?

Call 911.

And the individual, who I now realized hours later, that it was Kyle, pulled out his phone.

Now, I don't know who he called or what he did, but he ran away very soon after that as the crowd descended on the body that I was trying to provide assistance to.

Richie, again,

thank you for what you do.

I have to ask this question.

Why are you doing this?

Glenn, when all of this stuff started after Forrest Floyd

was killed or died,

our team is based in Washington, D.C., and we were there at the White House on the ground when things really started to spiral out of control.

And as these protest zones sprung up around the country, what we noticed is that nobody was on the ground ground in the 12 a.m.

to 4 a.m.

hours when all of the actual violence takes place.

So we went to Seattle, for example, and you see all the network news reporters out there.

Well, it's very much a party-like atmosphere out here.

And you'd see them do their dayside hits, you'd see them do their hits at 7 p.m.

And it was at that time.

But they weren't out there at 12 a.m.

or 2 a.m.

or 3 a.m.

when fights were happening with individuals who were all armed with no police officers anywhere to be seen and no chance for police to even come in there because

they couldn't.

So

I knew that that was our video team's responsibility to tell the American public exactly what was going on in those zones at that time because the prevailing narrative was that it was peaceful in all Kumbaya.

And what we saw and what we reported on

speaks to itself.

I don't know if this was your video last night, but I saw sheriff's

armored car come into Kenosha last night, and these guys had guns.

They were calling the sheriffs all kinds of names.

Come on out, fight, come on out.

It was ugly.

What are you expecting people to do when the feds arrive?

It's interesting because what we saw happen in Portland is, I think, very much being reflected here.

The courthouse is really the center.

In this case, it's a county courthouse, not a federal courthouse, but it's very much the center of the protests.

And actually, they put up a fence that's almost exactly the same construction as the one in Portland.

And

what happened in Portland is when the feds arrived, things escalated because the perception of the protesters, or whatever you want to call them, was that

Donald Trump was putting his foot in their community.

And I think that this is

only the beginning of the protests that we're going to see here in Kenosha as well, similar to what we're seeing before.

All right.

Richie, thank you.

Please stay safe.

Please stay safe and reach out.

If there's anything that I can do for you, please reach out.

You are doing important work.

God bless.

Thanks.

All right.

Times of courage.

Times of courage.

Okay, so

I want to talk to you a little bit about

an easy way and a less expensive way to shave.

And I know you're like, shaving, man, I just take out my razor and I shave and I use the foam and whatever.

Right.

Let me tell you about something.

It comes in a size of about a travel bottle and it's going to last you forever.

And you use about five

drops of it, maybe three to five, on a wet palm.

You put it onto your face or you put it on your legs.

Ladies can use the use this.

It's shave secret.

And it's an essential, or I'm sorry, it's a proprietary blend of essential oils.

And

you just work it into your beard or whatever you're shaving, and you just let the blade just glide over your face.

It's be the best, closest, cleanest shave you've had.

And there's something else about it

as well.

It's 100%

natural, and it will stop most of the razor burns, the bumps, the ingrown hairs.

It's It's a really, really good way to shave.

And it's the classic way to shave before anybody was, you know, making money on foams and gels and Gillette was like, I can become King Gillette.

Yeah, this is the way people used to shave and it's a better way to shave.

Try it.

You'll see.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

If you've been listening to me for a long time and you've been following the

things that I said were coming,

you now know that almost everything we warned about is happening right now.

Just for those people who, you know, I painted this painting a while back.

I don't know if it's ever seen on TV.

It's the Van Gogh painting where, you know, he cut off his own ears, except I put my face in it.

And I call that, yeah, but what if he's not crazy?

And

if you are one of those people who's like, well, maybe he's not crazy, you probably know now, hmm, definitely not crazy.

Let me just say,

raise your situational awareness.

It's time to kick it up a notch.

And if you have been prepared,

you need to understand that these are the beginnings of times that could lead us into, I mean, I think there's a,

it's not unreasonable

to have a concern that the United States could go to civil war over this next election.

The intent from Hillary Clinton is Joe Biden should never concede.

And those are her words.

He should not concede.

And, you know, we need to bring it to the courts, and we've got attorneys and everything else.

If we go through a,

you know, a 2000-style election, you remember how we were at each other's throats then?

Can you imagine what it would be like, especially when you have organizers that put together the millions of people on the street after the last election,

except this time

they're pissed off, antifa,

you know, revolutionaries?

Please be aware.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

All right, let me tell you about Rough Greens.

Rough Greens is what I'm feeding my dog, Pat's feeding his dog, and Stu is doing it.

It's actually not dog food, It's a supplement you put on the dog food.

Yeah, it's great.

And like you sprinkle it on top, number one, makes them want to eat it really fast.

Crazy.

Yeah.

Like they want to eat.

Dog crack.

Yeah.

Dog crack.

And then, of course, it's very healthy and good for them as well.

Yeah, I brought this stuff, especially after I saw Uno.

I did it once, and Uno was just like,

and he hates to eat.

We actually brought it to the vet, and I'm like, okay, is this crack?

Is this some sort of dog crack?

Is he going to be up on the roof going, I'm super dog.

I can fly.

And she looked at all the ingredients and she said, please feed this to your dog.

It's got everything your dog needs to be healthy, especially if you're feeding your dog dry dog food.

There's nothing good in the dry dog food.

You still feed it to them.

Just put this on top of it, and you'll see the difference.

You'll see the difference in your dog in 14 days of the Jumpstart bag if you want.

Just try the Jumpstart bag for 14 days, two weeks, see the difference in your dog.

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

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Oh my gosh.

All right, we haven't even had a chance to talk about the convention last night.

Yeah, there was, what was it, the night before last, there were 19.4 million viewers of the RNC convention, just to put that into perspective.

It is down from the 2016 election, but the 2016 election, that night was 19.7.

So it is doing really, really well and connecting.

I can't wait to see it tonight.

It's just driving the left out of their mind, driving them out of their mind.

And they're doing anything they can to make people just look horrible.

Just doing a Google search for Burgess Owens.

He spoke last night.

Really, really effective.

Really a good guy.

The top result.

RNC speakers with a past.

Plagiarism, hostility to immigrants, QAnon, and anti-Muslim bias with his picture next to it.

Unbelievable.

We are talking to Burgess Owens.

Not any of those things.

In 60 seconds.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Isn't that crazy?

Time to step up on your grilling game.

Summer, the sun's still beating down, grilling season still upon us.

If you're like me, that means, oh, you you know I think maybe it will go someplace that is having burgers or or you know can we order ribs online that's before I had a rectech because rectech I can just put the ribs in and then turn it on check it with my phone it tells me exactly when everything is done what I need to do what the temperature is and I'm in air conditioning the whole time It is great.

It's a RECTEC.

Yeah, I want you to do your own homework because RECTEC has revolutionized the entire industry.

They've done it with smart grill technology.

This thing is built like a freaking tank.

I mean, somebody comes to

take your house and

just get inside the RekTech.

It's not quite that big, but I mean, I think you'd be safe in that thing.

It is built like a tank.

I don't know that climbing inside your grill is good advice to get.

Well,

you might want to make sure it can't operate.

I just say.

Anyway, check it out.

Now, do your own homework.

This will be the last grill you'll ever want to buy because it's just great.

And you compare it side side by side with the nearest competitor.

There's no choice.

RekTech, R-E-C-T-E-Q.com.

That's rechtech.com.

Go there now.

R-E-C-T-E-C-Q.com.

I want to play a couple of clips from last night.

Here's Burgess Owens

on what the people want you to believe.

I was raised in the South during the days of Jim Crow and the KKK.

Even through the challenges of segregation, we were taught that anything is possible in America.

When I was 22 years old, I thought all my dreams had come true when I was drafted by the New York Jets.

Ten years later, with a Pro Bowl nod and a Super Bowl championship under my belt, I left the NFL to start a business.

I thought I could never fail.

But years later I did, and I lost everything.

As I moved my family of six into a one-bedroom basement apartment in Brooklyn, New York, I had a choice to make, to feel sorry for myself or get to work.

I worked as a chimney sweep during the day and a security guard at night.

It was humbling to be recognized cleaning a chimney by someone who once cheered me as an NFL fan.

But those hard days would pay off, and eventually I started a career, rewarding career, in the corporate world.

We live in a country where we're encouraged to dream big, where second chances are at the core of our American DNA.

We don't hear that same message from Nancy Plosis's Congress.

Career politicians, elitists, and even a former bartender want us to believe it's impossible.

They want us to believe that what I did, what my great-great-grandfather did, is impossible for ordinary Americans.

Burgess Sowens is with us now.

Burgess, first of all.

Hello, Gov.

I didn't know you were a chimney.

I didn't know you were a chimney sweep.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

That's a very important chapter in my life, to be honest with you.

It's called a humbling process.

Yeah.

It was good.

I bet it was.

I mean,

I know what it's like to be at the top of the world and then not be at the top of the world.

And that is a really difficult thing to, if you don't expect, if you don't accept that as a great lesson of humility, it can really drive you crazy.

Congratulations.

Well, thank you, Glenn.

And I'll tell you that this is the thing that one American could tell another, the greatest words, nine words of hope.

If I can do it, you can do it.

And we all go through our obstacles.

That's what we have to realize.

There's nobody exempt from it.

We just have to embrace it, not hoard those tough times.

Let people know.

Listen, I know what it looks like.

So, country, as long as you dream big, as long as you hang tough and just keep up the good work, keep the faith, good things will happen to this country.

That's what it's all about.

So I noticed during your speech, they put last night, they started putting up to

register to vote text this number.

And

I think that the RNC has done the best job of reaching out to a community that they have only just kind of scratched the surface because they've never believed it was worth the time, that nobody would ever change their vote, that no black person would ever vote for a Republican over a Democrat.

And this convention is

so different than any RNC convention I've ever seen.

Well, you know what it is?

We're at a point, Glenn, and

if we look at it, this has been a really rough year, but it's also a year in which there's no more gray.

We're seeing,

for no question, what we've been talking about for years.

We're no longer hypothetical what socialism and Marxism looks like.

We see it full fair face, and we have Americans across the board can finally have conversations about what we don't want.

We want light,

we want hope, we want opportunity, we don't want dark, the depression, death, and destruction.

We never have been there.

And I think that the left, because they have no vision, they have no idea

if they push this way too far.

And American people are just not going to put up with it.

So, Burgess, let me ask you this.

I know

to some degree because I've been told what it is like to be a conservative and black.

And so many times, and I've had this experience being conservative in New York, where people will come up and say, I'm conservative too, but don't say anything.

Is that changing

in the black community where they're not whispering as much?

Are you seeing?

Oh, my goodness.

It's a sea change.

It is.

I think

the greatest president of President Obama was that he's such a lousy president that black people finally say, you know, whatever happened, Hope and Change, what really was the deal?

And we have people, literally, when I go to the airports, black people wearing MAGA hats.

We have a walkaway campaign.

We have the Blexit.

That is what's scaring the left so much.

They have been addicted to us for decades, and we're finally realizing that we're walking, not just walking away, we're sprinting away.

So, no, I'm excited about what's happening.

And for those who are just kind of, you know, what I think is going to happen, those who still don't quite understand all of

the ways that we believe in our party, they're realizing when they see their homes being destroyed or their lives, their businesses being just upended, they're realizing that there's something wrong with the party they were part of.

And all we have to do is have more voices like ours, and that's going to continue to move us in the right direction.

I feel very

hopeful, Glenn, for what's happening across the country.

You know, it was a lot easier to make this case before COVID

because people were actually seeing it.

Now they're struggling again, and

the black communities, and it's not helping in some cities when they're burning things down to the ground.

Antifa is doing that.

How is the attitude towards the economy?

Because when people are hungry, you know,

they're hungry.

Well,

here's the deal.

When you have black people who all they want is life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, and they see these white BLM, Dot Inc.

people coming through with a few blacks that are kind of with them.

They see Antifa and they're destroying their community, destroying their livelihood.

And they're telling us they need to defund.

The black community is finally getting it, that they never have been a priority to the left.

And then

the more messages we get out there like we're doing right now, the more they're going to understand it.

So I think this will be a big speed change, to be honest with you.

And I'll say this, Glenn.

I've always believed that the black community and the Hispanic community and

those minorities that we've been kind of marginalized to a degree are going to be the communities that as we pull ourselves back from the abyss, we'll pull our entire country back.

History will be told that it was the black, it was the community, there were minority communities that truly was the salvation for our nation because we're getting it, we're waking up, and as we do so, the left has so little power and they cannot get their illegals in fast enough to replace it.

And they can't get enough

torginal ballots in to replace us.

So this will go down to history as

the minorities, those who had trouble in assimilating, as being

the people that bring our country back and show the rest of the world what America really looks like.

We're talking to Burgess Owens.

He is a candidate.

You're the fourth district in Utah, right?

Yep.

Yep.

Not something I've I mean, I've known you for a long time.

Not something that you've ever wanted to do,

which

I think you should wear that as a badge of honor.

Well,

you know, Glenn, when our conversation is always about the second chance for little youth, it was all about the kids that we all believe is our future.

And I realized this time last year that if we don't get the house back, our kids here in Utah, around the country, do not have a chance.

Because it's always been about policies.

And as we know, the left, the elitist, love to put in policies to keep people miserable, dependent, and hopeless.

And you see that now across the country.

So, and

we have such a good group.

I'll say that those that are listening, look at your district.

If you have a Republican that's standing, vote for him or her, support them.

This is a very different class of individuals that are patriots, that know how to replicate a president who understands what American love and leadership looks like.

We can change this country in such a big way by getting in the House, putting some more backbone in our Senate, and allowing our president to have four more years.

I say this, we have a renaissance ahead of us.

Great things will come together, and we'll finally point out who our true enemy is.

And it's not each other.

It's that hard left Marxist socialist that's done so much damage to so many who trust them in the past.

We're talking to Burgess Owens.

Burgess, when you stood on the stage last night and did that, can you just take me, just a personal kind of thing?

Take me through what it's like to receive a call from whomever, does the White House call you and say

we want you to speak, and then to find yourself on a stage knowing that 20 million people are listening to your words.

What is the pressure like?

What is that like?

Thank goodness, Glenn, we didn't talk, and you were going to tell me there was 20 million people.

I might have had a different approach on it if I'd known that.

But here's the thing.

This is where dreams can come true.

Two years ago, I wrote my last book, Why I Stand, and I was hoping, not thinking about politics, hoping to just get a presence so I can some way to go across the country and help give a voice to those who are running for office that needed my voice.

And so, and I've always hoped that maybe, hopefully, I can maybe be part of a convention.

Maybe my voice could be there.

So, for me to get that call, it was just a confirmation, dream big, go toward it, know that there's a perfect plan out there.

If you want to make a difference, Heavenly Father will find a way for you to do that.

And I just thought it was just remarkable.

And to get through it, and for them to say finally, you know, that the talk worked out pretty good.

For me, that was a magic moment.

I could relax and now go back and enjoy.

So

it was a good one.

It really was.

Exciting moment.

It's good to watch you go through this whole cycle.

And thank you for everything that you have done.

You were fantastic on our special this summer when you were out at Gettysburg talking about, was it your great-grandfather or your

great-great-grandfather Silas Burgess.

And everybody's beginning to know about him.

And I'm so thankful because that is the American dream.

That's the American way.

Tell her real quick.

Tell us how you get here.

Tell her real quick.

Great-grandfather Silas Burgess came here in the early slumship, 20 years old,

escaped to the north of the Underground Railroad, got out to Texas, became a successful entrepreneur, started the

first black church, the first black elementary school,

purchased 102 acres of land, paid off in two years, and was a tremendous Christian who was able to forgive because of the people he met coming across the plains and realized that.

that all bad all whites were not bad.

There were good Americans out there helping them to make it happen.

And that's what we, the people, Glenn, have always done.

If we ever learn our history, we can never ever start uh go the racist race because we have been so good to helping each other out and it doesn't matter what our color are what our religion is we the people have done great things we just have to remember that and he's a good example of that by the way burgess thank you so much it's an honor to be your friend burgessforuta.com burgessforutah.com thank you so much burgess thanks to glenn all right go back you gotta get him to win he needs to win maybe great yeah you know but by the way the last uh the last poll, there's only been one poll that I've seen from that race.

It was an exact tie.

So this is a very, you know, very winnable for Burgess.

He'd be great in Congress.

And it's in Utah.

It's a swing district.

I can't believe that he wouldn't win, but, you know,

I don't know who the American people are anymore.

I really don't.

I really don't.

I think he's the right guy with the right message.

He is.

He is.

He is.

10 seconds, station ID.

Hi, Stu.

Glenn, how are you?

Feeling confident today?

Happy?

I'm actually very excited to see what happens at the convention tonight.

I think this is going to be a very big night.

Big speech for Trump.

Big speech.

You figure the campaign seems to believe that they have about four chances here to make an impact for the American people.

You have tonight and three debates.

Obviously, the strategy of showing Biden as relatively incapable of speech goes more to these debates.

Tonight is the night for Trump to kind of tell his story.

And look, there's a lot of good things to tell.

I mean, it's tough because with COVID, it is a difficult thing to say, which he has to say all the time.

Before this, the economy was going great.

It's hard for people to remember even going to restaurants in a lot of places in this country right now, let alone remember when the economy was great.

We were trying to remember because we're going to the movies next week.

What's the new movie coming out?

We've been waiting for it.

Tenant for it.

Yeah, Tennant.

So we're going to go to the movie next week.

And

Tanya and I were talking, we're like, when was the last movie?

I mean, we go to movies every week.

Oh, yeah.

You're big.

Every movie, movie people.

And

we were like, what was the last?

We couldn't even remember the last movie we saw.

Yeah.

I mean,

our lives have changed dramatically.

It really.

They really have.

I've been to two movies since the movies have reopened.

And

it is weird.

The first one I went to, I went with Pat right after the radio show one day.

We went to go see a terrible Vin Diesel movie.

God did see.

Was it released?

No.

It was released in March.

So when they opened up the theaters, there's one theater theater near our studios that opened before everyone else basically in the state, right when they were allowed to, like day one.

And they just kept all the movies that were in there in March, just kept them in.

So we went, and that was the only one that we had.

It's Vin Diesel?

Oh, it was bad.

It's Vin Diesel?

Oh, it was not a good movie.

It's Vin Diesel.

But I mean, you think.

It's Vin Diesel.

I've seen Fast and Furious many of the 47 that have been released.

And as you might point out.

It's Vin Diesel.

Right.

But you see the dumb explosion.

Right.

There's a couple funny scenes.

Yeah.

And then there's Vin Diesel, and he's not good.

Because he's Vin Diesel.

Like, let's just say, let's say, you know, Rotten Tomatoes has the scale of like, you know, zero to 100%.

What if there was a Vin Diesel only Rotten Tomatoes, which only rated Vin Diesel

and would rate the best Vin Diesel movie ever made

one that you saw?

Like 10%.

And 100%

is just the best Vin Diesel movie ever.

Yes.

Wow.

So it's a major, major difference.

Wow.

What was the name of that so I can avoid it?

I want to say it was called Bloodspot.

Wow.

Yeah.

Wow.

Bloodspot starring Vin Diesel was bad.

Was it a good decision?

I will say that.

I mean, you would say avoid it like the plague.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You probably should have.

You probably should have.

You were begging for the plague halfway through.

You can actually see the video of Pat and I going to see this movie because we were all excited and we did this big build-up of like, we're going to do this like life, death-defying thing.

We're going to go to a movie theater.

This is when

none of them in the country are open at this point.

And we go in.

You can see like we're excited.

It's this thing we haven't done in so long.

On the way out, we're like, so the movie's over.

And

it sucked.

Because you will go from like really excited to then realizing the movie stars.

Vin Diesel.

Yes.

So I saw that and I saw, I actually saw Outpost too.

Have you seen, have you heard of Outpost?

It was based on the Jake Tapper book about this Afghanistan

war situation where they had this area.

It was supposed to be good.

Yeah, it was actually pretty good.

I mean, it was very violent.

It was too violent for my wife who went to go see it.

She was, now, this is someone who used to love going to see horror movies all the time.

That's changed.

And now

every time someone gets shot, she closes her eyes.

In that movie, we didn't see much of anything.

If you had that policy.

Can we pick this conversation up with an observation next?

Uh-oh.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Wives should not listen moving forward.

Specifically, our wives should not listen.

A recent statement by Bloomberg, the Fed will likely ramp up asset purchases.

I mean, doesn't that sound, that doesn't sound bad.

Oh, they're going to ramp up asset purchases, but they're going to have assets.

That's great.

Right.

What are those assets?

Have you thought?

What are those assets?

Nice things.

Your home.

Your home.

Your business.

Your company.

Stocks.

Oh.

So they're going to print a bunch of money and they're going to buy a bunch of stocks so they could be large shareholders in these companies.

That's great.

Are you out of your mind?

Don't you see where we're going?

This can't last.

It cannot last.

Please, I want you to call Goldline right now.

They are offering a new free silver coin, the Heroes of Two Nations silver bullion coin, with a purchase of every gold Liberty coin.

These are the ones that I have been buying.

Goldline, I didn't get that deal.

Goldline, find out how to get the free silver special just for being one of my listeners.

Call them now, 866Goldline, 866Goldline, or goldline.com.

And go to Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

Use the promo code Glenn.

You'll save 10 bucks.

And quick reminder to both of our wives: stop listening now.

Vin Diesel.

This is the Glen Beck program.

Tonight the president speaks, accepts the nomination of his party, and we'll have all the coverage for you

on tomorrow and be watching it right along with you and be commenting, I'm sure, on Twitter and Facebook and whatever.

I'm actually excited to see it.

He is not a good teleprompter speaker.

He is best off the cuff, and he's also best live.

When you see him in person, it's a totally different experience.

And it doesn't come across the same way as it does in person.

He is

he's, he, he knows how to work a crowd and he knows he's funny.

He is actually funny.

His timing, his comedic timing is really good.

And I didn't realize it until I saw him speak live.

And when you do, you're like, I see why everybody goes.

It's really fun.

It's like you're hanging out with the president.

It's like, you know,

He'll start reading part of his speech and then he'll be like, yeah, but let me tell you what really happened.

It's, I mean, it's just crazy it's crazy uh so we'll see uh how he does uh tonight but i think the convention so far has been a dramatic success uh and uh and really really good last night my wife and i may have not watched all of the convention uh because we are fans of yellowstone have you watched yellowstone yet i've heard nothing but really good things about it but i've not watched it this would be in the old days this would be the number one show on television i think really yeah it's It's Kevin Costner, right?

Kevin Costner.

It's ranchers up in

Wyoming, and they just have, or is it Montana, they just have a

really different way of living.

And it's kind of like, you know, last night there was a line where the cattlemen all get together and they say, you know, to the...

new guy who's the head of livestock and protection and everything else.

And he's like, you know, I have to tell you, you need to be governor.

He's like, I don't, you know, I really don't think.

He's like, no, I'm telling you, you're exactly what Montana wants.

Somebody steals your cow, you kill them, and you take the cattle back.

It's like, oh, oh, okay.

All right.

There you go.

But we were watching that last night.

And it,

I mean, do you remember?

You're probably too young.

You probably, you might remember who shot JR?

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

For Dallas.

Dallas, yeah.

This is like who shot JR on steroids.

We forgot that it was a season finale.

And like

this one is who shot all of them?

I mean,

they've all been shot.

And it's like, oh,

wait, what?

It's a great show.

Kevin Costner is great in it.

It is the best,

I don't even know what you would call her, villain that you love.

You know how you love to, you see people who are just like really bad, but you're kind of rooting for them.

You know what I mean?

this woman is

she's not a she's not a good person um no but you but she's fighting for her dad and everything else but she is just

ruthless and she is the best

hero villain i think i've ever seen on television and when you find out that she's english i can't even imagine it i can't imagine it because she just seems like a foul-mouthed american rancher

it's great you would love this show Yeah.

Yeah, I got to check this out.

Okay, so now my wife and your wife should not be anywhere near the radio.

Unfortunately, my wife now has friends that text message her and say, Did you hear what he said?

Thanks a lot.

Oh, so you're right.

Elena, I'm talking about you.

Yes.

Does she know she's evil?

I don't think so.

Okay.

She does now.

Anyway, so

I don't know if you've noticed this, and it's kind of a slow boil,

but

and maybe I'm the only one that's noticed.

Have you noticed that almost every show now is

almost full-out pornography?

Has anybody else noticed that?

What channel are you watching?

Exactly.

I watched the Peacock Network.

Oh, okay.

That's NBC.

The new thing, yeah.

Yeah, I haven't been on that.

and i haven't been on it either it was free so i just you know i'm looking for shows and their number one show what was it it was on uh oh brave new world

no just straight up just

i mean i don't need to see

uh the

you know the the letters stuffed in the envelope i'm saying you know what i mean i don't need to see all right is there no subtlety anymore when has

everything become so pornographic.

Just meaning you're seeing a lot of nudity in these.

No, no, no.

You're not seeing a lot of nudity.

Well, yes, you're seeing a lot of nudity, but you're also,

they're absolutely unwatchable.

If you are, if you remember who, you know, you used to be, you know, before COVID, and you were trapped in the house and you're watching everything, and now you're watching it and you're like, oh, yeah, it's just a couple of people saying the F-word, smoking crack, having

sex in wow, ways.

I didn't know you could have sex.

What do you need, honey?

I mean, it's like it's it has gone so far.

There is, tell me the shows you can watch with your family.

Well, Ozark's pretty good for the kids, yeah, right.

Yeah, no, but it's an Ozark.

And I mean, last night, and this is what I said to the kids,

Tanya's like, I did the Yellowstone is just so the language on it.

I'm like, honey, honey, there's nothing else to watch.

There's nothing else.

Everything is like this.

This is tame.

this is like Sesame Street now yeah even Oscar the Grouch is like F you're like what well he is a group I'm in here with Big Bird we're banging down here in the garbage can F you

What happened to Sesame Street?

It saw that episode

really weird.

Yeah, it seemed out of character for both Big Bird and Oscar.

Apparently they've evolved.

Yeah, hey, it happens.

I think part of this is this thing that we've talked about with the golden age of television, which I really think is where we are right now.

these shows are so well done, but

they're no longer they no longer need to be made for wide audiences.

But can they?

Can somebody make something for what I think is a wide audience that wants to watch something with their kids?

Can anyone make that?

It's tough because it's what's making them better, too, because they don't have to cater to this broadcast sort of vibe.

They don't have to head every single day.

But now they also can just insert all this crap in there.

Anyone.

Anyone.

Is there no market for somebody who's just like, I, you know.

There should be.

I know Pat watches a lot of these shows, but he watches them on with VidAndege, which

will edit out.

Yeah, we've got that.

We have that.

We just downloaded that.

Okay, well, that's that workshop.

Instead of Yellowstone, it only took like a minute and a half out.

And it's like, oh, okay.

You know, try.

Have you seen episodes?

We watched three episodes of episodes.

Oh, it's anyway.

Yeah, it's with

Joey, Matt LeBlanc.

Oh, okay.

And, you know, so you have to be at the bottom of the barrel when you're like, I'm going to watch the Matt LeBlanc show.

But we watched like the first three episodes, and it was really funny and really smart and really going someplace.

And then it's, I mean, I'm not kidding you.

It's...

Every line is sexual.

And they, whatever they, I mean, and they show, and it's,

put that in Vidangel.

You get the titles, right?

That's it.

You get the opening and the close, nothing else.

You get all the names.

There's a lot of F-bombs.

Yeah, no, the names are okay.

The names are okay.

Yeah, that's good.

Yeah, no, it is.

It is, it's where we're going.

I mean, I talked about this, and no one seemed to care because we were in the middle of a global pandemic at the time.

But like, the fact that ESPN aired that Michael Jordan documentary with non-stop F-bombs on regular television.

I mean, it was cable, obviously, it's ESPN, but not on their premium service, not on any sort of

something you watch.

Guys, I assume, you know, sit down and watch ESPN with their sons watching the team.

Totally.

I can't, you can't do it right now.

You can't.

Because you don't know.

Like, I wanted to show them that.

I want to show my son that documentary in particular because, you know, you're talking about probably the best, arguably the best basketball team of all time, clearly and inarguably the best basketball player of all time.

And I wanted to show him who the best basketball player was just in case someone at some point tried to tell him it was a LeBron James.

So he would know in advance how dumb that argument was.

And I couldn't even show the thing to him because even the edited version, which they ran on another channel, the ESPN 2 ran the ones with the beeps, which is, I thought, fascinating.

Weird.

It should have been the other way around.

Right.

ESPN 1 runs the ones, the full-out F-bomb every 10 seconds version.

I can't show that to my kid.

I can't even show that to my kid.

He's nine years old.

I'm not going to show it to him even with all the beeps in it.

And it's like, you think you'd give him some sort of version.

This should be a mass appeal thing to watch with your children.

Because nobody, no one.

I mean,

you know, we lived in New York, so

we've heard fine, delicate ladies using language that ladies just don't use.

And remember who was it said, I think it was Mike Huckabee or something, you know, eight years ago said, I am, I am, people are using the F word here in New York.

Women, ladies are using the F word.

And I was like, you've not been to New York before?

But now it's like, there is no language rule anymore.

You know, you'd be on TV, you know, you don't want to swear and whatever.

Everybody, everybody, everybody in bigger cities, especially, but I think it's happening in smaller cities now too.

Everybody, it's the language.

It is, you know, I'm watching, have you ever, you know, watched stuff on the BBC?

Yes.

Okay.

Their language, their words don't mean the same things as ours do.

There's a few words.

Yeah, they use the C word and the T word, which are the same

here in America.

And they don't mean that over there.

And so you're kind of watching.

You're like, oh my, oh my gosh.

But they've been loose with things, you know, Benny Hill.

We haven't been.

Now, I think we're worse.

Now it's like you watch British TV and they're a little more buttoned up.

You know,

we were the Puritans.

The English,

the English were much worse than we were.

They were loose with standards much worse than we were.

We were the Puritans.

Now we're like, hey, pornography right over here, eight o'clock, bringing kids.

Yeah.

I think a lot of that stuff has just gone out the window with, because you have like the major effects of the actual COVID and the economy, and that's what everyone's focused on.

Then you have all the race stuff and all that stuff that's gone on.

Like a few layers down from that, you have, I don't know, is bourbon okay at 7 a.m.

Yes.

Sure.

Why not?

That's out the window now.

Right.

And I think all these things, all these standards, we've just all been so frustrated with everything that we've thrown them out the window.

Everyone's gained like 50 pounds and now 50.

Are you working out?

We're talking about mid-May.

But you have that going on.

And then

guarding these little cultural lines that we normally would be focused on is just not a priority of anyone.

So they're just going crazy.

And they're just letting everything fly.

It is crazy.

It is something

that, I mean, and I just,

I know somebody's going to do it.

There is a market out there.

There's a market out there, but you can't get Netflix or Amazon pick it up.

They don't want it.

Why?

You think like Disney Plus would want it, right?

And maybe that's what they're going to try for.

Disney Plus?

I don't know.

I don't even get a star about Disney.

You're not a big Disney fan anymore, are you?

Oh, no, I'm not a big Disney fan anymore.

No,

I am not a big Disney fan.

I used to take my kids, I would be the first to take my kids.

I would be, even without kids, I'd be the first to see the new real Big Disney movie.

Now it's like, you know what's in that thing, kids.

Yeah, you're that guy now.

I'm that guy now.

It's not fun.

But in my day,

Patriot Mobile.

Now look,

do you ever feel like

everything

is against you?

Like everything?

I was like, really?

The socialists have taken that too?

Everything.

Everything.

With your cell phone, they are giving, the big cell phone providers are giving money to Planned Parenthood, giving money to, you know, anti-Second Amendment stuff.

You know, and they have a right to do that.

But I don't want my money going there.

Patriot Mobile is the only one.

Patriot Mobile is not shelling out money to leftist causes.

If you are using Big Mobile right now, you're getting great cell phone coverage because they got these big fancy towers and they're great.

But every time you make a phone call, you are providing money to Planned Parenthood or other places like that.

Now, here's the secret: Patriot Mobile, you're going to get the same coverage because those big fancy towers, everyone's on them.

They're the same towers.

Everyone's on those towers.

So you get the same coverage.

You get nicer people on the phone when you have a problem.

And lower prices.

There's no hidden fees.

No, oh, yeah, well, this was nu-uh.

They don't gouge your eyes out, and they take a portion of their profits and they give them to things.

Like, for instance, I think this month

they are giving them to veterans and first responders.

And if you're a veteran or first responder,

you even get a cheaper deal

than

people like me, which I feel that is wrong.

972 Patriot, 972 Patriot.

Call that number.

Make this the last cell phone call you make on Big Mobile, where they are just working against you when you're sleeping.

972 Patriot or Patriot Mobile.com/slash Beck.

Switch right now.

Patriot Mobile.com/slash Beck.

This is the Glenbeck program.

There's a couple of pieces of audio I want you to hear from last night.

First, Governor Christy Noam on the Democrat-run cities.

Listen to what she said.

Now, at times, our country has struggled to live up to our founding principles.

Another great American, Abraham Lincoln, knew that struggle better than anybody.

When he was just 28 years old, Honest Abe saw wild and furious passions worse than savage mobs, he said, taking the place of reasoned judgment.

He was alarmed by the increasing disregard for the rule of law throughout the country.

He was concerned for the people that had seen their property destroyed, their families attacked, and their lives threatened or even taken away.

These good people were becoming tired of and disgusted with.

I mean, can we stop?

Can we stop?

Whatever she's saying is important.

But

look at her arms.

She is, I mean, that's Michelle.

Michelle, Michelle.

That's Michelle.

I'll put those arms against Michelle Obama's arms.

Yeah.

Why aren't they talking about Christy Noam's arms?

Right.

That's the reason they're not talking about Melania Trump.

Right.

I mean, here's someone who...

I mean, look, it's not even fair.

She's obviously the most beautiful first lady in American history.

It's not even fair.

She's a supermodel.

Right.

And you know what?

Jackie O would have been a supermodel in her day.

Yeah, you know, maybe.

I think she

could have been.

She's very, obviously very pretty, as everyone would recognize.

And

she'd be in second, but blatantly in second.

Right.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Melania Trump.

Such a class.

That's not even fair.

It was her post.

She was walking down the into the rose garden, and I'm like, this is the longest runway she's ever been on.

Right, but no one ever says that.

No one ever says.

You know, I don't like her husband or whatever, but she is gorgeous and well-poised and, you know, speaks five languages.

Just amazing.

Just amazing.

All right.

We'll see you tomorrow on radio.
