Alternative National Anthems | Guest: Dr. Benjamin Merkle | 7/15/20

Chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more, can make me feel like a spectator in my own life.

Botox, onabotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine.

It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month.

It's the number one prescribed branded chronic migraine preventive treatment.

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.

Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.

Alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.

Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck, and injection, side pain, fatigue, and headache.

Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.

Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.

Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lugarix disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Why wait?

Ask your doctor, visit BotoxChronicMigraine.com, or call 1-800-44-Botox to learn more.

Let me tell you about Rough Greens.

Rough greens is something that has totally changed my dog's life.

Really has.

Changed our life too.

We started giving him rough greens after the last trip up to the ranch, and it was so nasty because we had to take turns.

Every day we were like, no, it's not my turn to feed the dog.

Yes, it is.

Now, normally kids are like that, but when the adults are like that, it's a problem.

And the problem is, is that Uno had to be hand-fed.

He wouldn't eat unless you stood there with him and started, look, here's some food, yum, yum, yum.

I mean, it was like playing an airplane with your dog every day.

Horrible.

So we started putting rough greens on top of it, and it is something that's really, really good.

We talked to our vet, and the vet said, please give this to them.

It's really good, jam-packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, omega-oils, and probiotics.

It's all the stuff that's cooked out.

Usually, you can get it at RoughGreens, R-U-F-F-Greens.com slash Beck.

It's like, really, you're hushing my mellow on the United States of America so I'm gonna flip the script this hour I want to I want to tell you some good things that are going on as people are starting to stand up people are starting to see that this is not good

and I also

I also would like to remind you of some history I've been I've been

I've been looking at a lot of American art, a lot of Norman Rockwell and things like that, trying to

find the spirit of America and

what is it that we have really lost.

And the thing that we've lost is the truth.

That's it.

The truth of our story.

And it didn't come from Norman Rockwell.

The truth of our story is so much powerful, so much more powerful than any image anyone can create.

But we haven't told that story for a while.

Now we're being told that everybody in this country has always been racist.

Absolutely not true.

And I want to tell you a story you've never heard of American history.

And if you're an African-American, it should piss you off a little bit.

Who took my history from me?

We go there in 60 seconds.

All right, I want to take you back to the end of the Revolutionary War.

Battle ravaged New England.

People were trying to put their lives back together.

And there was a veteran soldier who applied for and received a license to open a new ministry in New England.

He had been training as a minister during the war years, writing his own sermons, preaching both to his fellow soldiers at Fort Ticonderoga and his small but growing home parish when he was discharged from Washington's Army.

Well, during the war, he served as a minute man,

and there were a bunch of volunteers from Granville, New York, and they marched on Roxbury, Massachusetts following the battles of Lexington and Concord in 1975.

And then in 76, following the Continental Army's victory over the British at

Fort Ticonderoga,

his military unit was garrisoned to guard the fort against the British and loyalist reprisals.

He served with honor and valor and bravery.

Now, this is a story that you're not going to hear about America because it doesn't fit the narrative anymore.

But it is important that you know it.

If we're going to preserve the country, the first thing we have to do is preserve the truth of our history.

This guy had come from very simple means.

He was actually an

indentured servant.

Now, this is something that happened to both whites and blacks.

You would,

in his case, his family sold him into indentured servitude.

And what that meant was you would, let's say you're coming across the ocean, somebody else would pay for your trip across the ocean, but then you had to work that off and you didn't get paid.

You were an indentured servant for X number of years.

So he was an indentured servant at the age of five, and he was raised by a blind farmer named Deacon David Rose.

His wife taught him how to read and write.

And at the age of 14,

he was sitting at the table and he took his turn reading a sermon to the family because they would do weekly worship service after dinner.

Well, Deacon Rose was really impressed with the boy's oratory skills, and he said, really nice reading.

And who is the sermon from?

Well, the boy said,

well, me.

I wrote the sermon.

That's when Deacon Rose knew he had somebody special in his house, and he introduced him to the local Calvinist minister, who continued his education in theology up until his 18th year when his indentured servitude.

That's the year he joined the Continental Army.

Well, by 1781, he had founded his own local parish in Middle Granville.

By 1785, he was fully ordained by the Massachusetts and Connecticut Calvinist Church and sent on a church mission to find and found a new parish in the Republic of Vermont.

He was instrumental in pushing for statehood for Vermont.

He was a prolific author, writing as a key advocate for the abolition of slavery.

His essays and his sermons were published in newspapers all over the United States, and a collection of his writings was kept in the White House by George Washington.

He was a minister of his Vermont parish for 30 years.

He had a faithful congregation that was mostly white, but it did accept black and mulatto parishioners as well.

And during that time, he helped found additional churches in New York and New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Delaware.

He was frequently invited to speak at colleges on the issues of theology and the abolition of slavery and the rights of man.

In fact, his writings are quoted in Thomas Jefferson's first inaugural address.

Jefferson quoted him, and again in a letter that Jefferson wrote to the British ambassador in 1802, when he said, Jefferson quoting him, quote, liberty is equally as precious to a black man as it is to a white one, and bondage as equally as intolerable to one as it is to the other, end quote.

That was a line that Jefferson wrote to the British,

but he didn't write it himself.

In 1804, he was awarded an honorary master of the arts in

theology.

In 1805 to 1817, he developed friendships with James Madison, father of the Constitution, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster.

With their support, he advocated strongly that God's providence would eventually lead to the overthrow of slavery in the United States and that the natural rights of all mankind, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, would lead to unparalleled blessings of prosperity for the new nation.

He advocated for republicanism and equal rights in pamphlets that he co-authored with James Madison.

He spent 30 years in Vermont, and he was called to open a new church in New York, which again was non-segregated, mostly white.

They openly accepted freed black and mixed-race worshipers as well, not a problem.

In New York, he established one of the first touring church choirs, black and white singers.

They were invited to and performed at the White House as a guest of John Quincy Adams, both white and black.

He died in 1833.

He was 80 years old.

The church he founded in Vermont, one of the oldest continuously operating houses of worship in the United States.

It was designated by Gerald Ford as a National Heritage Landmark in 1975.

In 1986, Ronald Reagan called him one of the founding fathers of the Republican Party, since his writings effectively became the foundational platform the party adopted when it was formed 20 years after he passed away.

Now, maybe you don't think the life of this guy, his name was Lemuel Haynes.

Maybe you don't think it's all that remarkable that the indentured servant servant to a blind farmer would serve as a minute man to George Washington, later become a minister in New England in several congregations, to be ordained an officer in his church, receive a master's degree in theology, and an advocate for the abolition of slavery.

Perhaps that's just

another American story.

A good, faithful man enjoyed success for his hard work and is widely accepted.

And perhaps that would be true

if Lemuel Haynes wasn't black.

Born to a black father and a white mother, a serving girl in 1753.

This goes against the narrative you're now hearing.

Accepted as a soldier in George Washington's army?

Licensed by the state of Massachusetts to form a congregation and preach in local communities, founding his own church house, which was attended mainly by whites.

Ordained a minister, the first black man to achieve that office in U.S.

history, sent on a mission to found a new church in Vermont territory, awarded a master's degree in theology, the first black man to achieve that honor, invited to speak at universities all over the United States.

I didn't think that was allowed to happen.

Faithfully supported by

mostly a white congregation in Vermont, New York, Massachusetts.

His writings published and co-authored by James Madison and Henry Clay.

His mixed-raced choir invited to sing at the White House.

In what we're now told is the most racist nation in the history of the world, whose entire history and identity is based on racial intolerance, and he was black.

How does that fit?

That Lemuel Haynes lived and thrived is indeed a classic American story.

It's a heroic story.

He should be remembered not because he was a black man, but because his story is representative of hundreds of thousands of similar stories of Americans of all races, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Indian, who, against all odds, persevered and achieved their dreams, made a difference, broke new ground, taught their peers to reach a little higher, to think a little deeper,

to pursue happiness as they saw fit.

Lemuel Haynes is all the more remarkable still for his humbleness and his faith, despite all that he had achieved during his lifetime.

He wrote his own epitaph, which still adorns his burial place in Vermont.

Here lies the dust of a poor, hell-deserving sinner

who ventured into eternity trusting wholly on the merits of Christ for salvation.

In the full belief of the great doctrines he preached while on earth, he invites his children and all who read this

to trust their eternal interest in that same foundation.

All right, these past few months, mortgage rates have fallen to all-time lows so many times that it's almost starting to feel a little routine, isn't it?

But if thinking of it that way makes you hesitate, makes you think that you can put it off, then you need to get that idea out of your head.

You need to start saving money right now.

You need to stop paying the banks more than you have to.

If you're having trouble meeting your mortgage because you've been laid off or because of COVID, you can save so much money by refinancing right now and not resetting your loan.

If you have high-interest credit card debt, roll that in.

There are millions of Americans right now that have the opportunity to save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars every month by refinancing their mortgages.

And you could be one of them.

Think about it.

What could you do if you had a few hundred or even a thousand bucks back in your pocket every month?

10 seconds, station ID.

Oh, yeah.

So there's a couple of things here going on that I think are also

good news.

Defying the Defund the Police movement, there are some companies that are backing the blue.

And we need to do more than just say, hey, thanks, police officers.

Ford, last week, some employees of Ford wrote an open letter to the CEO to stop production of the law enforcement vehicles, including the Ford Police Interceptor.

But their CEO said, nope, I don't think we're going to do that.

It may be controversial for Ford to make the police interceptor, but it helps officers do their job.

Axon, the technology company that supplies police with non-lethal weapons such as tasers, defends its continued production of the weapons.

The director of the board said in a statement, the transparency and accountability provided by body cams aren't magical solutions to prevent deaths, but they do give a clearer picture of what is happening.

Edgard Watches, the luxury watch company, released a pro-law enforcement ad that showed police and a dog rescue.

The company CEO said he did the ad because he felt like our politicians, the media, companies around the country, they're turning their back on police and it's got to stop.

Chick-valet, the first fast food restaurant, was under fire from some chains distributing shirts supporting the pro-law enforcement organization, Blue Lives Matter.

Back the blue, their new t-shirts say.

Five guys, after three police officers were denied service at a five guys restaurant in Alabama, the company said it had fired some of the employees and others would receive additional training.

Five guys in Alabama, the franchise, wanted to thank the police department for their support in working together towards a resolution.

As we uphold our commitment to fair, respectful, and equal treatment for all customers, please know the actions and sentiments of a few employees in Alabama don't represent five guys in the local franchisee.

And Google.

An employee petition requesting that Google leadership ban police from using all Google products received over 1,100 signatures.

The CEO issued a statement condemning racial injustice, but said products such as Gmail, Google Suite, Google Cloud Platform would remain available to all.

Yeah, see.

And NASCAR.

NASCAR

is introducing a car that has the American flag, blue line designed for police officers, and back the blue hashtag.

They're doing other things as well at NASCAR.

They're partnering with Wounded Blue, an organization supporting police officers wounded in the line of duty.

Everywhere you turn today, good, hard-working police officers are under attack.

We want to show law enforcement officers that we got their backs.

What can you do in your life?

What can we do in our life to help police officers?

Yeah, did you see this video?

There was also Glenn of

the officer who

helped the baby who was choking.

And it's on the dash cam, and you see these parents just panicking.

The mom is just screaming.

Her child is choking in front of her, losing

its life.

And here's the police officer, just steps in, calmly, performs all the opera, the CPR, whatever the heck he had to do.

He clears the path with the airway, does all the stuff.

It's like this stuff happens every day, and you never hear about it.

Every day, these guys are out there doing things like that.

Every day.

And then the one time one police officer does something wrong, it's

the constant news for months.

It is just so completely unfair to these guys, the way that they're treated in this country.

So there's another story.

Battling substance abuse since the age of 11, Kenneth Bearden suffered over 30 overdoses.

Police officers have helped to revive him more than a dozen times.

Today, Kenneth is six years sober.

He said to his son, you wouldn't have a dad today if it wasn't for those police officers.

Spencer Bohan, a nonverbal child with autism, doesn't have a sense of danger, so when he goes missing, it's life or death, said his mother.

When he climbed out of his bedroom window, he went missing.

The Roanoke County police came.

They found him within 12 minutes of searching.

Our police officers do an awful lot.

And I can't take Portland.

Did you see what Portland they're saying to the feds to get out of town.

We don't want you here.

The people, the businesses and the people of Portland are being just butchered

by

violence.

Their economy is, I mean, far as I'm concerned, look, you're in your own state, you're in your own city, you do what you want.

But there comes a point where the good people that don't necessarily agree with all the violence, they need some protection as well.

And the feds have come in and they're just trying to protect the courthouses, the federal buildings.

And the mayor of Portland said, get out or stay in your buildings.

We don't want you here because of the violence, the violence that the feds bring.

World's upside down, but I think she's starting to wake up.

All right, simply safe.

So you've made the decision.

Time to take your home security game to the next level.

You could go around the house every night, nailing all the doors and the windows shut.

You know, and then getting up and pulling all those nails out in the morning, but it might not be the best or most fun thing to do.

But

maybe it keeps the burglars out.

We're actually under attack.

Pat Gray joins us now with another fact of history that has just been changed, and

most people don't even know.

Yeah,

just by.

By the way, glad to see you're rocking the ascot again today.

It's comforting.

It's somehow comforting.

It's a mask.

It's a mask.

Yeah, I will say in the COVID era.

Does it double ascent?

That's very common.

Is that what you use it for?

Little bandana situation.

We were wondering.

We were thinking, okay, it's an ascot, but is it also a mask?

And I guess the answer is yes.

No, no,

it's a bandana, bandana, actually.

I know you have a hard time with those, but

go ahead.

I do.

I have an even harder time with this.

Plymouth Plantation changed their name.

Not that they're changing their name.

It's already been changed.

The Plymouth Plantation Living Museum, 400 years old.

changed to be more inclusive and respectful, and it is now Plymouth Patuxet to include the Native Americans that live in that region or lived in that region at the time of this.

Okay, okay, so wait a minute.

Hang on just a second.

Wait a minute.

The pilgrims,

they happened to find the land, and if you find this coincidental, they happened to find the land that was abandoned by the Native Americans because the Native Americans felt that that land was cursed because a tribe had been wiped out with some disease years before.

And so it was completely abandoned.

So how

does that

what?

How we're changing it to an Indian name?

Yeah.

What are you talking about?

And by the way, the Patuxet people have been extinct since 1622.

So they're not even around to realize this honor that they're being given.

This was that.

right.

I mean, this is nuts.

This is absolutely nuts.

And they are changing everything.

Next hour, we're going to show you

there's an effort now to get rid of the national anthem as well.

It's a big effort, too.

And it's got some momentum.

It's huge.

Yeah.

Yeah, it does.

And you know,

the 1619 project,

do you know that Oprah Winfrey is now producing a movie that's going to come out based on the 1619 project, which is a lie.

Wow.

It's a verifiable lie.

And she's pushing that.

I mean, second tower gang, when are you going to have your second tower moment?

We are under attack, and it is happening rapidly.

So fast.

So fast.

I mean, things that you couldn't have imagined six months ago are already done now.

Not only are they not opposed, it's already been done.

And you don't even know that it's happened.

You know, the Star-Spangled Banner, the statues that are being removed or being discussed to be removed, the founders that are disparaged now, and you can't even say anything good about the founders.

All of, you know, how many times do you have to play the Michelle Obama thing?

They've changed what they say.

Hang on, Michelle.

What did...

Hang on.

What was it that Barack knows?

And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices.

We are going to have to change our conversation.

We're going to have to change our traditions, our history.

We're going to have to move into a different place.

We are 10 years past the fundamental transformation of America.

This is what,

and all of the warnings that we gave you when we were at Fox.

I mean, Pat, you were part of that research team.

Stu, you were as well.

All of that, can you name anything that we said was coming that isn't now here?

No, and I think in then some,

there were things that I don't think we could have imagined back then that have already transpired, and we put a very little fight on any of it.

It's just.

Well,

there's some good news.

First of all, voters,

according to a new poll, majorities of almost all demographic groups measured to see cancel culture.

They see it as bad.

Just under half of the voters under 45 hold that view.

Among the voters, 46% see

cancel culture.

I don't know why, because it is a cancer.

See it as bad.

26% say it's a good thing.

Now, that is astonishing to think that 26% of Americans think this McCarthy era that we're living in is a good thing.

But if you look back in the 1950s, this is what we went through with

communism.

It was just the opposite.

You'd lose your job,

you were convicted if accused.

You know,

it was a witch hunt then, and it's a witch hunt now.

Only 17% of voters see cancel culture as a good thing.

The problem is,

is

the

very liberal voters,

those who say that they're very liberal.

31% see it as good, 37% see it as bad, 32% aren't sure.

You know, if you're not sure, you should probably do something to get sure, one way or another.

There's no place for you.

I don't know.

Rounding people up and just making them disappear.

Good, bad.

I'm not sure.

It's so hard to decide on matters like that.

And what do you guys think?

Do you figure that stuff out before or after you vote?

Is there a specific order you need to do these things in?

Like, do you learn and then?

I would say figure it out now.

Learn.

Yeah, I would say figure it out now.

You know who's figuring it out?

Are the Christians in California?

I just said yesterday, churches, you better wake up and you better stand up.

I believe I condemned people to hell yesterday.

I think you did.

Which,

well, I didn't actually.

I didn't condemn them.

I just know that they're going to hell.

But you're not their judge.

I mean, all you're saying is they're going to burn in the fires of hell.

That's all.

I mean, that's

everlasting and eternal fire.

Yeah.

That lake of

ever-burning fire.

Yeah, they're there.

But I'm not their judge.

Anyway,

yesterday I was talking about churches waking up, and it looks like in California it is starting to happen.

Some of the church leaders are saying they are not going to shut down again.

San Francisco and the American Russian Orthodox Archbishop wrote an open letter to Governor Newsom, said

that

his ban on singing is open discrimination,

reminiscent of the era of the godless persecutions in the USSR.

It's about time somebody starts using this language.

We now observe the contradiction that in mass protests that are taking place,

at which absolutely all precautions are violated with impunity,

adding the church

into saying that you have to close down, they said they will defend their rights of the members to continue to worship.

And there are lots of churches that are starting to rise up.

And that's in California.

And they need to.

You can't lose the right of your religion and your faith and to worship.

That is a protected right.

And I love the fact that all the politicians are saying, you know what?

Protest.

That's a First Amendment right.

So is my house of worship.

And you need to stand together as Christians, as Jews, whoever

we need to stand together.

because we can argue about theology for a long time and we'll all be destroyed doing that.

What do you say?

We stand together now and stand up for the things that we all believe in,

and then we can argue about the other stuff later.

I'm just saying.

And they're so blatant about it.

We had this speech from de Blasio, was it last week or the week before, where he was asked, well, hey,

how can you say?

Because there was a BLM protest coming up, and he was perfectly fine with that, But he didn't want people going back to church.

And so they asked him about that disparity.

And he said, well, oh, you can't compare the two.

Those are apples and oranges because the BLM people are doing something really important.

Wait, what?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my gosh.

So they've just, oh, my gosh.

They don't care anymore.

It's like you said, the mask is off.

Obviously, figuratively speaking, it's on, literally speaking.

But they've taken off the mask about how they really feel about religion, about capitalism, about this country, and everything it stands for.

Our founders, it's just all out there in the open.

And if this doesn't alarm us to the point of taking a stand, nothing will.

Nothing will.

Nothing will.

I read an op-ed pace yesterday

about

the two-tower

kind of philosophy.

That have you had your second tower experience?

And I was really just struck by that is so right on the money.

But when are people, when is the average American, or have they, and they're just being quiet?

I don't know.

When is the average American going to have their second tower kind of moment?

You know, my second tower kind of moment was when I realized that when wearing a face mask, I cannot unlock my iPhone with a stupid face thing.

It is a

travesty, a sham, and a mockery.

It's a travish sham mockery, and it must end.

Stupid Apple, get a program that reads through my face mask and will recognize me so I don't have to type in my freaking code, which takes seconds.

Oh, they will.

Be careful what you want to do.

Can I tell you something?

Probably already in the mail.

I lost my glasses someplace here.

My wife is like, where did you put them?

I'm like, I don't know.

I lost them outside.

So, some,

someplace, someplace where the cattle cattle and the and the antelope roam.

So I put my old glasses on and I tried to open up my computer.

It didn't recognize my face.

And I'm like,

maybe Clark Kent was...

I mean, maybe that is true.

Apple can't recognize my face with a pair of glasses.

Oh, that's not bad at all.

Holy cow.

The worst one is

when you realize you've gotten so fat, it no longer thinks you're the same person.

That is a bad realization.

That legitimately happened to me.

Wow.

And it's like, oh, no.

Who the hell are you?

What fat version of you?

That's what it is.

Hey, that's what it is.

Man, I went in.

I went in.

I spent like 12 hours in the hospital this last weekend because I had kidney stones.

Oh my gosh, Pat, you know what that's like.

And we can only hope that Stu joins us on this very stream soon.

Yes.

Very soon.

Very soon.

But that was incredible.

But they pumped me full of so much

water

that I got out.

They put, I think,

a gallon and a half.

I can't remember how much water they pumped into me.

But they pumped in so much fluid, I got out and

I looked like I had gained 30 pounds.

And they were like, you got to keep drinking water.

And I'm like, not if it makes me look like this, dude.

No, wait a minute.

I was just going to say, did you do it again this morning?

Because

shut up, you

sure.

Pat Gray from some show that he does someplace at some time, and someday maybe you'll hear about it and you can find him wherever podcasts are found.

Somewhere in America, within the sound of my voice, there is a man for whom

the word work

was never just another four-letter word.

All his life, he was bonded to and his love with

the land

and the land of his family and forefathers.

Minutes piled in hours, hours piled in days and years, and the proof of his

industrialness

will come to you in the simple form of a handshake.

This guy says what he means and means what he says.

You will feel the strength of his handshake, the calluses on his hand, every bale of hay he ever chucked onto the back of a truck,

every chrome-plated steel wrench he ever had to turn with all his might just to squeeze another day out of the tractor, every calf he ever had to wrestle to the ground.

All those things are in his handshake.

You know what else is in it?

Integrity, honesty, low-key appreciation for the fine nature of life itself.

It's there in a handshake, and it's there in the pair of Takova's boots that are on his feet.

Handmade from the finest leathers.

They take 200 steps to create.

That's integrity.

Put a pair of boots that have integrity to remind you who you really are and the life you're supposed to lead.

You'll find your pair of Takovis at tacovis.com/slash Beck, T-E-C-O-V-A-S.com/slash Beck.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Hello, America.

It's Wednesday and my gosh, we have so many things to talk about.

The mayor of Chicago is riding into the rescue.

She said

she wishes she had the bat signal.

But she's decided to call in another hero in news that only makes sense if you are wildly intoxicated.

We will share with you in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

What happens when you are in so much pain that you can't do just not only the necessary things around the house, but you can't sleep half the time?

That was the situation that Dawn found herself in.

She's been a hairstylist for 25 years and in her retirement she had developed constant pain in her hands, and her feet, and her back, and she was desperate for something to take the pain away.

Nothing she tried worked.

I remember that feeling well, Don.

Then she heard about Relief Factor.

She decided, what do I have to lose?

You know how the story goes.

A few weeks later, Dawn was a completely different person.

In fact, she was the person she was before the pain took over her life.

Dawn got her life back, and you can too.

If you're living with pain, give Relief Factor a try.

Relief Factor, it's not a drug, it was developed by doctors.

70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to buy more because it works for them.

So try the three-week quick start.

It's a trial pack, it's only $19.95.

See the difference.

Get your life back.

And

in other news today that makes

an awful lot of sense, the city of Chicago has

been under a

shadow that

was cast by the

corona,

the

flu pandemic and a surge in violence.

Well, we still don't know what caused the violence,

probably,

probably white people, but Mayor Lori Lightfoot is calling in a hero to tackle a different problem in Chicago, the low response rates for the U.S.

Census.

Apparently, her goal was to have at least

70% of the

people fill out the census.

It's now being filled out by only about

40%

of the people of Chicago.

So yesterday in a press conference, which I think was very, very brave of her, she said,

when I was a kid, I loved the Batman TV show.

And went, and when the city of Gotham had real difficult challenge,

one of the things that the mayor did was he called out and sent out a distress signal to Batman.

I'm not sure if the mayor

Lightfoot knows that Batman isn't real,

but she went on to say, so I'm doing something similar for the census.

I'm happy to report, I'm calling out this

the c.

The census cowboy.

I mean,

who in the inner cities of Chicago don't love cowboys?

I mean, first of all, cowboys were killing Indians.

Cowboys

are part of the problem with America, right?

So if the census she said, if the census cowboy comes into your neighborhood,

that's not a good thing.

Of course not.

Cowboys are bad.

She said, that means you got to step up and do your part and

fill out the census.

And that's all the news that makes sense if you're completely hammered out of your mind.

The census cowboy.

Could this person be more out of touch?

No, no, no.

I've got somebody more out of touch.

I'm sorry.

The national anthem now

is seriously up on the block.

I just want you to.

I read a phrase last night on a website, which I think everybody should read.

It's great.

It's AmericanGreatness.com.

And I was reading one of the op-eds, and they were talking about, have you had your second tower moment yet?

And that is a reference to 9-11.

And we all remember that day if you were alive, and you saw the first plane go in, and you were like, holy cow, what a mistake.

How did that happen?

But when the second tower was hit, you knew we were under attack.

When is America going to have its second tower moment?

When are we going to wake up and realize that the country we know and love

is under attack?

We are in a war that is just as big

as anything else we have ever fought.

But it is a, it's a,

I can't even say it's a Cold War.

It's a, it's, it's almost.

Well, it's, we're, we're, we, we're acting as if it is a an invisible war and a silent war, but it's not.

We're losing our country.

We're losing our heritage.

It has been taken from us.

You want to know one reason why African Americans have such a hard time?

Because their history has been taken from them.

Progressives took away all of the great leaders

in the founding and in the Civil War.

They don't know who they're...

They don't know who the

millionaires and the people who persevered and the people who went...

You don't even know.

Most people don't even know that Aunt Jemima was real.

She was born in a log cabin as a slave in like 1830.

While she never made it to a millionaire, she became one of the wealthiest women and definitely one of the wealthiest black women alive.

And she did it through capitalism.

She was real.

She was beloved.

People don't know their own history.

You don't know the history of the Washington Redskins.

That's why we've just lost the Washington Redskins.

That was a tribute.

Now the American flag.

There is an op-ed now.

There's an op-ed out, and I just, I can't, I just don't.

The Star-Spangled Banner had been a fixture of American life for more than a century prior to May 4th, 1931, when President Hoover signed a bill establishing the song as the national anthem.

It's not really true.

Do we happen to have Hail Columbia?

Hail Columbia

was the more popular song.

Do we happen to have it?

Do you know?

It might be Columbia National Anthem.

I'm not sure.

Maybe that's the state of the actual country, Columbia.

Is it the Columbia National Anthem?

Okay.

Well, Hail Columbia.

It's just an awful, just an awful song.

And we didn't have a national anthem.

And the reason why we didn't is because that's not who we were.

We didn't force things down everybody's throat.

You could assemble the stars any way you wanted.

As long as it was on the blue, you could make it into any shape you wanted.

But then we started on

standardized flags and don't burn the flag.

That is all progressive nonsense.

That's all started by Woodrow Wilson to make us into one solid country that would blindly follow Uncle Sam, another invention of Woodrow Wilson.

So in 1931, President Hoover, he signed a bill making it the national anthem.

And

the tradition started right after World War II.

After the war, the NFL commissioner then said the playing of the national anthem should be as much a part of every game as the kickoff.

So that's why we all say play ball afterwards because it started to be played in our stadiums for football and baseball.

This is a new tradition.

Well, they're going to get rid of that tradition.

And I think we should do it with our eyes wide open.

Now, I will tell you that

there is an article out now about the arguments against the Star-Spangled Banner.

You know,

it's not an American song.

It was actually, I think, like a drinking song over in London.

And then

the tune was brought over here and set to Francis Scott Keyes' lyrics, and they say that it's just horrible.

You know, as

his national anthem, the words, the lyrics, say the hireling or the slave.

Well, that's not a verse we even sing.

And it's too

militaristic.

And so what can we do?

Well, some people are saying, lift every voice and sing, which I don't mind.

I think it's pretty good myself, but that's the black national anthem written by a black Republican.

But I'm in no hurry.

I don't like our national anthem myself.

But, you know, whatever.

It's the national anthem.

I'm fine with keeping it.

I think we should.

It's our national anthem.

I'm not going to give in to the mob.

But if we all decided to change it and we were all logical

and we all just got together and said, you know, the song really kind of sucks.

Okay.

I don't think America is going to say that, but I don't want it in a mob mentality ripped away from us.

I won't give up.

But I thought, you know,

this article goes on to say that really we should use Lean on Me by

Bill Wither.

Are you for that one, Stu?

You for.

No.

Lean on Me?

No.

You're not?

No, I'm not.

Huh.

Okay.

No.

Okay.

Well, no, just to be clear, you're not either.

I thought we should look at.

I thought we should look at other national anthems and from countries that we could just take.

You know what I mean?

There's another national anthem, and I actually, I think it's New Zealand or is it Australia?

Do we have the New Zealand national anthem?

Yeah, go ahead and play the New Zealand national anthem.

Now, it's in a language we don't speak, but that would stop people from being offended.

That's not a bad answer to all these problems.

We need to make up words

that don't mean anything.

Just make up words.

You're right.

I know that means something to somebody, but they're on the other side of the earth and everyone knows.

That's not bad.

That's not bad.

I think we should consider taking the New Zealand national anthem.

What about just taking New Zealand?

I mean, if we're going to take the anthem, let's just take the country's beautiful.

Too close to China.

Let's take the Swedish national anthem.

I mean, what are the Swedes going to do?

Throw band-aids at us?

I mean, they got universal health care.

They should have a lot of band-aids, but that's all.

So, what are they going to do?

Hey,

Yah, they took out a national anthem.

Yeah, we did.

What are you going to do about it?

What are you going to do?

Play the Swedish national anthem.

No.

Falklands.

Give me the Falklands national anthem.

I don't like that one.

Ooh.

Oh,

sung by Nickelback, by the way.

It's like a

yeah.

My heart does come

for the island far away

where the wind from the horn up the Luandu.

Boy, this sucks.

You can see why the Falklands never did anything.

If that's your national anthem,

have you ever heard of

Maritas?

Marituus?

I've never even heard of this country, so we can clearly take them.

Try this one,

the whatever that is national anthem.

It's a little somber.

Bad chariots of fire.

Wow, that is bad.

I'm starting to like our national anthem.

It's Mauritius, by the way.

Mauritius.

Give me Ghana.

Give me the Ghana.

Ghana national anthem.

and hell

just to resist oppressors rule with all a will

and might forevermore.

Oh my gosh, this is weak.

This is the one they would be pitching right now.

Watch what you asked for.

I know.

This is a national anthem.

This is the Ghana national anthem.

Play it again from the beginning.

I don't think I've ever heard anything quite this bad.

Quite this bad, and yet

the lyrics are

cut out of Hamilton.

Jesus oppresses rule with all a will

and might forevermore.

Oh my gosh, this is

okay.

We got to stop playing this because the social warriors out there, they will be, they'll be like, I don't know, that one was really good.

I liked that one.

I don't even know where that is, but

let's try Papua New Guinea.

Is this the same guy?

Doesn't it sound like the New Guinea guide?

A little bit.

Shout out inch from

I don't know.

I'm starting to like the Bill Withers idea.

Lead on me.

I'm starting.

You know, maybe

some nirvana.

I mean, you know.

I can't believe how fast

this country is

coming

apart at the seams.

You know, I mean, we've seen it coming, but did you see it coming this fast, this rapid?

That, I mean, this is

how anyone can think that this is not planned is beyond me.

Look at how well crafted this whole thing has been.

It really is.

I mean, look at the Redskins are a good example of this.

They announced they are getting rid of the Redskins' name and logo, including the logo that was, you know, designed by, modeled for, for and designed for Native Americans

and the son of the person who designed it a Native American is very pissed off about this but it's like

that was something that in 2013 the owner of the team said he would never change the name Like he was that strong and he went through several waves of opposition to the name.

Over and over again, they brought this up that it was some big problem.

They'd go back and poll Native Americans and 90% of them would come back and say we don't think it's a problem.

The issue would go away for a while.

They'd try it again, they'd try it again, they tried again.

They tried it again recently.

It was still in the I think mid-70s as far as approval rating for

the name.

And this time it just is fine.

I guess

for some reason, because of one terrible incident in Minnesota,

they're just rushing for the gates.

And I know it's been

that, but that's what the thing that put it over the top, it seems like.

It is a well-crafted plan, and this was all waiting for the right moment to unleash.

And when that happened in Minnesota, our enemy said, now, go, go, go, go, go.

Gold line, the world of the dollar is full of all kinds of strange twists and turns, isn't it?

My gosh, what's going to happen next?

It's almost like they're going to start, the Fed's just going to start printing money and just buying all of our debt.

Oh, they already did that.

Well, then they're going to start buying the stocks on the stock.

They're doing that too?

$9 billion

in new, really?

A day?

Okay, so the dollar,

you know,

it's going to be around probably as long as, oh,

all of our trusted and

stable institutions, you know, and

nothing's going to happen.

Just like nothing's going to happen to the Washington Redskins.

Back to back, Studos America and Glenn Beckton on Blaze TV.

It's blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

Promo code save the family.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Stu

I David Brooks.

I know I don't like David Brooks, and I can't remember why.

You still have a list of people.

Give me the David.

Yeah, David Brooks is a...

You're talking the columnist from the Times?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

I mean,

he's a

fake conservative, right?

Yeah, I don't even know if he would even say he's a conservative.

He's a right, you know, a center-right, I guess, columnist.

But I mean, he does tend to do a lot of things that are just critical of conservatives.

He's been in that genre for a while.

And, you know, it doesn't say he never writes anything interesting, but he does seem to do that sort of, you know, what's really bad about conservatives right now thing?

Yeah.

Quite often.

Yeah.

So

there's an op-ed out

from David Brooks.

Nuclear family was a mistake.

That's the headline.

Now, tonight, I'm going to show you how this is

the real target.

And it's been the target of Marxists for a very long time.

And Marxists have always tried to divide people into classes, usually in wealth.

But they found that in the 1960s, it wasn't going to work.

Because if you look at our our poor here in America, our poor are better off than

most nations, most members of most nations.

In fact, if you took the African-American, the American, and took the African-American community and you made it its own country, I think it would be 40th in the world on wealth.

And that would be beating some really good countries.

And and it can do better, but it's got to get away from the policies, quite honestly, that I believe were enacted in the 1960s.

I'm convinced that the Great Society and the war on poverty and all of this

was built by a bunch of racists who knew exactly what they were doing.

How is it that the progressives who were the Klan, were Planned Parenthood, been spending 20 years, 40 years,

60 years at that point, trying to eliminate the

African American.

How did they suddenly come up with this love for the African American community and their plight?

And we're going to help you.

No, that they did is they hobbled the African American.

And until we actually talk about those things, nothing else is going to change.

It's only going to get worse and worse and worse because they are playing in.

And until the African-American community wakes up and realizes, wait a minute, we are being used.

The Marxists understood that they could not take away and make us into class as the primary distinction, that the poor were not going to rise up in America.

And so they had to come with another target.

In the 1960s, they decided to make it race.

And they've been working for a very, very long time.

And we are under attack.

Now, people say, Black Lives Matter.

I don't have a problem saying that.

I don't agree with everything they do.

Well, would you say that,

would you quote anything, anything, that was the slogan of the Nazi Party?

Of course you wouldn't.

Of course you wouldn't.

So why are you doing this?

with

Black Lives Matter.

They are National Socialists.

They are Marxist.

They are looking to destroy the Western way of life.

It has nothing to do with the plight of the black man.

It's run by a lot of really wealthy white people and white radicals.

By the way, did you see in Dallas last night, Stu,

the

mob that went into the

Dallas restaurant?

A bunch of white people

going in for Black Lives Matter, just looking for a fight they started shouting at black people in the restaurant their families it got ugly they were looking for a fight

you got to start being toddl you got to start being thinking like Todd Beamer did

I mean we just we just

we cannot go down

like this and there are more of us than them and it's it was all these white punks that were

explaining it to the black people on how the black people were on the wrong side.

Wait,

what?

It's so

racist to go inside of that, right?

I mean, it's such a

the idea that white people can just inform black people, Native Americans, in this recent example as well, any group, what they should or should not be offended by is

so presumptuous.

It basically takes away the agency of the group.

You know, I know this is a dumb example because it's a stupid lady on a syrup bottle, but Aunt Jemima was purchased in enormous numbers by African Americans.

It was their favorite syrup.

It was the favorite target.

It was a favorite syrup.

Yeah.

And they actually bought it much more often than white people did.

Yet white people came to the rescue of black people and took their favorite product off the market.

Thank you, white people.

What a wonderful blessing that we have you guys here to tell us what we should and should not be offended by and what we should or should not eat.

It's so insulting.

And I don't know why

there isn't a larger outspoken group of African Americans more pissed off about this.

Maybe they're being

kind of pushed down in the media landscape.

I do see many of them.

They call into this show.

I see them posting online all the time.

They're pissed off by this because they're being treated like children.

They're being children, they're being treated like a group of people who need to have another group of people make decisions for them.

That's what children are.

And that is not acceptable.

It should not be accepted.

And it certainly is not racial empowerment.

It's the opposite of that.

I can't take it.

I just can't take it.

I see these white punks who, you know, have no life experience at all, that are all Marxists, and they're lecturing blacks and black families, in this case last night, lecturing black families on how racist they were because they wouldn't join with Black Lives Matter.

It's insane.

And this, you know, I was watching it and I thought,

they are doing exactly what the brown shirts did in Germany.

How did you get

when Hitler only had 30% approval rating, how did you get everyone to give the Hitler salute?

You did it because the brown shirts held parades all the time.

They would just come marching through your neighborhood or your street, and if you were on the street and they gave the Nazi salute, if you didn't give the Nazi salute, they singled you out and they beat the living daylight out of you.

And so because people just didn't want the daylight beaten out of them all the time, they just didn't want to cause any trouble, they would just give the Hitler salute.

That's exactly what's happening now.

Companies that

would hang the Nazi flag in their window of their shop,

most times, it was not because they were supporting the Nazis.

It was a signal, leave me alone, I'm on your side.

Even if they weren't.

They were just surrendering and saying, I'm not a problem.

That is un-American.

This is going to be remembered in history, and we're not getting these things back.

Do you really think that these statues are going to go back?

Once they remove Thomas Jefferson, once they remove George Washington, once they change our history, we're not going back.

We must

not

give an inch.

Because the real goal here is to destroy the Western way of life.

The real goal is to destroy the family.

And if you don't believe me,

go to the website for Black Lives Matter.

They talk about it openly.

They're saying now that the nuclear family was a product of

capitalism, that it was not the norm, and we've got to go to a community-based family where, you know, parents can trust other people to raise their kids, and the state will get involved.

This is evil.

You don't break up the family, you don't displace the father and the mother.

You recognize that not everybody's going to have a mom and dad, and not all families are going to be good.

And you do have extended families.

But this idea that

the family should be broken up is

evil.

Yeah, Black Lives Matter, I mean, outwardly says it.

We disrupt the Western prescribed nuclear family structure requirement.

I mean,

it's hard to see how fundamental that is to American society.

And, you know, Glenn, it goes beyond just this sort of warm family-feeling, religious foundations.

One of the reasons why Marxists hate it so much is it's very consistent with conservative ideology.

Like when we don't look at it as what the left looks at things and says

the federal government should do it, right?

Or if you get even bigger than that in the Marxist world, the global government should do it, right?

Going back to the international socialism.

When you look at the country, they say the federal government should do it.

And if the federal government can't do it, then the state government should do it.

And if the state government can't do it, then maybe the local government.

We look at it the exact opposite way.

We say the family should do it.

And if the family can't do it.

The individual.

Yeah, the individual.

Then the family.

Then the neighborhood, the community, then the local government, then the county government, then the state government, then the federal government.

If all of those other ways fail, then we go to the big group at the top.

They look at it the exact opposite.

So making the family weaker not only helps them for a million other reasons, but it helps them dismantle conservative ideology.

Ideology that our founders instituted here in the United States, you know, all these years ago.

It helps them eat at the core of that, and that's the only way you can get rid of this system because it's been so successful.

And the family has to be destroyed, and God has to be destroyed.

There is a reason that every tyrant in the past refused to let you own a Bible.

Because when you understand Christianity and when you understand

Judeo-Christian teachings, it teaches you that you answer directly to God for your mistakes and that your power comes from a higher source.

It doesn't come from a king or a government.

So you have to destroy religion because that empowers you as an individual.

The other thing that empowers you is the stability of the family.

Mom and dad teaching you, go out and do it yourself.

Pull yourself up by the bootstraps.

Let's get going.

Take care of your brothers and sisters.

It's the family unit that also strengthens the child.

So, what did in the Great Society in the 1960s?

What did the government do?

They destroyed the family in African-American communities.

Just destroyed it.

It was doing better

than a lot of other families.

In some measurements, they were better and more stable

than white America.

Still today, if you look at the stats of married families who are African American,

their poverty rate is like 7%.

They're doing better than white families

because they're stable.

Remember, the key word here is chaos.

And if you destroy the family, you create chaos.

And it is under attack

like never before.

All of our institutions are.

And we need to wake up.

From the Standing Rock Ranch in God's Country.

Hello and welcome to the Glenbeck program.

We're all looking for our kids to go back to school, and we're all excited for our kids to go back to school.

Our kids are excited to go back to school.

But what is in your child's school?

What has been done to the curriculum since last we met?

There is a lot of new things that are being implemented now that you need to know.

Is this in my kids' school or not?

And you need to demand that it be removed.

We'll tell you about that and talk to you about college.

Why are we paying to have our kids

be taught to hate hate us?

Coming up.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

You've heard me talk about my Takovis boots and how much I love them and what a great company they come from.

It's a small business that's doing things the right way down here in Texas.

Well, given the challenges that we're going through as a country, Takovis has asked me to speak about something else that comes to mind every time I put on my Takovis boots.

The cowboy.

Now, you know, I'm not a working cowboy, but I know some of those guys.

And not being one of them, I wouldn't pretend to be.

But what I see in them, I see in other people too.

Because, in many ways, cowboy is just a mindset, an uncompromising can-do attitude, a willingness to help even when it's really hard.

And most of all, the cowboy knows that the good guys always win in the end.

So, as you begin the hard work of bootstrapping this country and economy back into shape, Takovis has the boots you need.

Find your pair at tacovis.com, T-E-C-O-V-A-S.com/slash Beck.

This is the Glenbeck program.

I want to say about home title lock.

You know, it's devastating to be the victim of a crime, but it can be even worse if you're the victim of a crime you didn't even know someone could commit.

Home title fraud, which is actually becoming more and more of a problem these days, is a crime that very few people have even heard of.

Someone literally finds the title to your home online, forges your name on the deed, and that states that, you know, know, look, you've sold your home.

And

it's the really dark part of this because they can re-file this

form and prove that they're the new owner.

And that's what it looks like on paper.

And then if they do that, they can literally evict you from your own home before you even know that it's been sold to someone else.

Sounds like something that's from a movie or something made up kind of just some awful romantic comedy where they wind up having to have to live together and that's how they fall in love.

Like the person who comes to kick them out of the house falls in love with the person being kicked out, or something like that.

It was on Hallmark.

It's on Hallmark next week.

But this is actually a real crime that happens to people.

Go to Home Title Lock to make sure you're not in the stupid romantic comedy coming up.

The instant they detect tampering, they will mobilize to shut it down.

First things first, go to hometitalock.com, register your address, see if you're already a victim and don't know it yet.

Then use the code Beck for 30 risk-free days of protection.

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

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America.

The United Teachers Los Angeles, it's a 35,000-strong union in Los Angeles in the Unified School District.

It made a couple of demands that before reopening of schools in the district can occur, there have to be some policy provisions in place, including a moratorium on funding for charter schools and the funding of local police.

But they also went a little further.

They also demanded the implementation of a federal Medicare for all program, several new state-level taxes on wealthy people, and a federal bailout of the school district.

The benefits to restarting physical schools must outweigh the risks, especially for our most vulnerable students and school communities.

As it stands, I'm quoting from their document, the only people guaranteed to benefit from premature physical reopening of schools amidst a rapidly accelerating pandemic, are billionaires and the politicians they've purchased.

That

is the union that is behind the teachers that are going into the classroom in California and teaching your children.

Why are we doing this?

Well, we're doing it because there's nothing else we can do, right?

I mean, I got to send my kid to college.

Yeah, well, why don't we look for a college that maybe has a set of balls on them?

Maybe, maybe we look at a college unlike Penn State.

Did you see what Penn State did?

Dear students, each of you belong here.

Each of you, dear black students, your lives matter.

Dear Muslims and Jewish students, your beliefs are valued here.

Dear Latinx students,

you will not find walls here.

Latinx?

98% of Latino hate the phrase Latinx, but let white people decide for you.

Dear conservative students, your viewpoints are important, except they're really not at Penn State because they got so much backlash, they deleted the conservative students.

They have female students, LBG,

TQ,

I plus students, international students, Muslim, Jewish, black students, Latinx, but no longer conservative students.

Why would you send your kid into that hellhole?

There is a university or a college that I have never heard of before that is worth your consideration, perhaps.

We talked to the very,

very,

very

brave president of New St.

Andrews College in just a second.

Why do I say very, very brave?

Oh, you'll understand in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

You and I are both alike.

We love our dog.

We love our dog.

We probably also both hate cats.

I'm only saying this to rile up the cat people.

I'm just doing it just because Stu actually has to go through all of the tweets and the mail and everything else.

And

all the cat people just dogpile.

Oh, look at that.

Dogpile, right?

Anyway, I want my dog to live the fullest, healthiest, happy life that he can.

And, you know, if I felt that way about stew, I'd give him rough greens as well.

Rough greens is something that can help your dog live a really, really healthy life.

Rough greens, it's not a dog food.

It's something you put on top of the dog food.

I brought it to my vet and I said, should I give this stuff to my dog?

And she said, let me look at the ingredients.

When she finished looking at the ingredients, she said, absolutely.

This is really good.

Probiotics, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, omega oils, some of the things your dog needs to live a healthier lifestyle, and they're not getting it unless they are

getting it through Rough Greens, R-U-F-F-Greens.

So give your dog the Rough Greens 14-day jumpstart bag for $14.95.

You'll see the beginning differences in your dog.

My dog is a different dog because of this.

So last week, we played

a video that went viral online.

I want to play it again, and I want you to listen to this.

Hey, wokey McWokeface.

Quick question.

This Black Life mattered, but doesn't this one?

We know this black life mattered.

But why doesn't this one?

George Floyd.

We believe that all babies' black lives mattered, and tens of millions of others too.

Murdered in the most dangerous place in this country for any black life.

A womb.

Murdered and dissected and sold.

Jeez.

We believe that each and every human life matters because every human life, regardless of culture or color, is crafted in the sacred image of Almighty God, which is the only possible reason why any life could matter at all.

We believe that secular progressive white supremacists have been running a vile and genocidal population control campaign against blacks in America that has straddled centuries, trying to keep them from life, from adulthood, from power, from stable families and communities.

And that matters.

We believe that the organization Black Lives Matter, registered trademark, is a Marxist front that doesn't care about black lives even half as much as an average white pro-life flyover Trump voting evangelical.

Every single black life matters, from conception to the grave and beyond into eternity.

That is God's truth.

And it's a hell of a lot more than BLM can say.

This shouldn't be hard, but clear thinking is rare these days, especially on college campuses.

All lives matter.

All black lives matter.

All.

Behind a badge.

On the street.

In the room.

Philosophy matters.

Theology matters.

History matters.

Thinking matters.

Learn to think in unthinking times.

New St.

Andrews College.

Clear thinking, clear teaching.

In person this fall.

Jeez.

Dr.

Ben Merkel is with us.

He's the president of New St.

Andrews College.

Ben, how are you, sir?

I am well.

Thanks so much for having me on.

So,

how much heat did you get for that?

You know, it's gotten considerable.

We had our mayor pretty upset at us and

say something in a local paper.

And we've had,

but to be honest, actually, I have to say the positive response has been outweighed it by about 95% to 5%, because I think a lot of people are so sick of being told that they're racist because they don't support BLM.

And I think that we were able to say what a lot of people sort of intuitively felt, but weren't hearing anybody articulate it clearly.

And who came up with this idea?

Whose Whose brainchild was this?

Our marketing team here, we've got some friends that we hired to put this together, but they're all graduates from our college.

So I've never heard of New St.

Andrews College.

You're in, of all places, Moscow, Idaho, right?

That's right.

Yeah, we're the other Moscow.

Yeah, we're a

very small private Christian college in North Idaho.

So a very small little school.

So it's understandable.

A lot of people don't know about our existence.

And how long have you been around?

We started in 1994.

We grew out of the classical Christian education movement.

It started in 1980, and then we're a college that tends to pull from kids who have done classical Christian education.

So,

Ben, you know, we're looking at our colleges now, and none of them seem to have a spine.

I mean, I just told the audience about Penn State, where

they took conservative off of the you're welcome here

because of backlash from their students and faculty.

What's really happening to our university system?

And

is there,

do we survive this?

Well, I think we could survive it, but it would take a really bold change for us to do it.

I mean, I don't think Americans, we we complain a lot as conservatives about what we see as the deep state, the sort of unelected mechanism that seems to run our country but can't be held accountable.

And I don't think we realize how much education is the ultimate deep state.

Both K to 12 and also colleges,

our fac the faculty and staff of most colleges, including your Christian colleges, are dominated by progressive left ideology.

Every teacher votes Democrat.

It's really total how much the left has taken over education.

And I think that's why, I mean, I was listening to your show earlier and you were talking about how

swiftly everything seems to have changed.

But I think that's because we have slowly had

basically an entire generation indoctrinated in a way that we didn't really realize was happening.

And now we're seeing the fruition of it.

But it's also, I mean, there are other elements in education.

I think that the way education is funded is a big part of it.

The federal money has such big strings that are attached to it and steer you in terms of your ideology.

And then the way accreditation and other things like that work, it really cultivates a leadership class.

that is all about demonstrating compliance.

Like you just, you're not going to see college administration make any kind of bold move because they got there by demonstrating compliance over decades and decades of their professional life.

So they're allergic to those kinds of decisions.

It's also, it's unreasonable to think

that a school system funded by a federal government is going to teach don't trust a federal government.

Don't trust the government.

You know, you have to think independently.

You have to think for yourself.

There's no way how we expected that to happen is beyond me.

But they haven't been teaching that for a long time.

Yeah, all real true government begins with self-government.

It has to start there, and then your own self-discipline, your own self-government then makes possible other real government.

But yeah, our institutions really

depend on compliance with a larger state.

So that's not going to be something that they're going to inculcate in our students.

For

the person who is thinking, well, I've got to send my kid to college

and they're going into college this, you know, this fall, what do you say to that parent?

You know, I think you've got to ask some hard questions.

I think that a lot of parents,

they have the impression that, okay, I know that the colleges are generally liberal, but they remember going to the college in the 80s and the 90s, and they remember bumping up against those kinds of things, and they assume that everybody is talking about the same kind of college that they went to, and they don't realize how radically transformed the college campus is.

It's nothing like what we went through.

So you need to ask some hard questions.

And I think that I'm torn because I go back and forth.

On the one hand, people are paying exorbitant amounts of money for an education that gives them

no real education whatsoever and hardly any actual professional skills.

And so in a lot of ways, I see the movement for like, we'll just go to a trade school and learn a trade.

That's a much quicker way to get into a job and to avoid the debt and the indoctrination.

But at the same time, the reason why we're at the place that we are right now, it's not because we haven't learned how to employ professional skills.

It's because we haven't learned how to think.

And I think it's

we need to reprioritize critical thinking at the college level because that's what we have lost.

And now

it's not that we can't get a job, it's that we have

destroyed our entire economy.

Well, you can't

you can't learn to think from wokey McWoke face, as your ad put it.

You can't learn critical thinking if if

you are told there are things that you can't think, can't say, and things are bad.

I mean,

I don't understand how

academia doesn't realize they have become the old church in the dark ages, where we'll lock you in a tower if you disagree with us.

That's what's happening to us now, and they don't seem to see that.

Yeah, well, I think a lot of it has to do with just that ultimate rejection.

well, the rejection of ultimate truth.

So so when you reject ultimate truth and what you have, everybody reverts to their own personal truth.

And then what happens is that you're dominated by personal emotion.

And

so like if you try to interact with somebody at a BLM protest, you're not going to get an actual argument.

What you'll get is them sort of vomiting up their emotion.

Because that's how they've been that's what they've been trained thinking is.

But in the

in the you know, in the traditional West, we understood that there was a transcendent truth that we all answered to.

And argument was about understanding these transcendent principles that we then looked to apply consistently in our lives and in how we treated others.

And that's where logic comes from, that's where philosophy comes from, that's where theology comes from.

So you have this larger transcendent truth that you live under, and it provides the kind of cultural success that the West has had for millennia.

But they're rejecting all of that, and so all they can do is burn it down.

We're talking to Dr.

Benjamin Merkel.

He's the president of New St.

Andrews College.

I'm going to just want to spend a couple more minutes with him here after 60 seconds.

We're going to break for 60 seconds here.

Let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.

If you are looking to sell your house,

you need probably all sorts of things to be done.

Do you know who the best carpenter is to call?

How about the best carpet guy, the best plumber, somebody who specializes just in moving dirt since you have some erosion in the backyard?

That has to be addressed.

Who does all of those things in your town?

Do you know anyone that does that?

Well, here's the answer to this.

You don't need to know all those people.

You need a real estate agent that knows all of those people.

When you're working with one of the real estate agents I trust, then the answer is that person, that one person.

Real estate agents I trust.

Free service to you.

The agents who work with us are the best of the best.

They know the best practices and they're going to work hard for you.

Get your house sold on time and for the most amount of money.

And if you're moving, find the right area for you.

It's real estate agents I trust.

The name says it all: realestate agents I trust.com.

Realestate agents I trust.com.

10 seconds station ID.

Dr.

Benjamin Merkel is the president of the new St.

Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho.

Worth your consideration.

What is your tuition?

We'll be at about a little over 13K, 13,500 this next year.

Per semester?

Nope, for the year.

And we do not take any government money.

So no student loans, no Pell Grants.

We didn't take any of the PPP money either.

So we reject the federal money, but I think in rejecting the federal money, you actually make your college more affordable because you step out of a whole bunch of bureaucracy and everything that inflates the cost of the college.

So

1619 project, Oprah Winfrey now, is going to be doing a new movie, a new film and TV series on the 1619 project.

That's in our schools.

We have Black Lives Matter coming to our schools now.

How do we fight this as a parent?

I think that the thing you have to do is you have to take education seriously.

This is what they are inflicting upon you.

But as a parent, you have the ability to make actual decisions about the kind of education your kids are getting there are private schools there's homeschooling there's ways to get involved with your local school board and we need to actually stand up and retake this ground instead of passively just sort of rolling over and letting this happen again and again and again

if we don't do that if we just continue to take it we're lost aren't we oh it's it's it's all over absolutely the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, and that's what the teachers have been.

That's why I think education is the ultimate deep state.

And if we want,

you know, culture is something that you pass on to the next generation.

But that handoff point where the baton is passed to the next runner that's happening in the schools.

And we take our hands off that and we hand it over to somebody whose ideology is opposed to us.

And then we're surprised

when our children are joining the BLM movements and these revolts.

I think it's just really sad seeing, particularly within the Christian world, how many of the

next generation have been trained to hate everything that their parents stood for, and their parents didn't even notice that it was happening.

Quite remarkable.

Quite remarkable.

And

I think you will agree that

Christians and those who believe in the Judeo-Christian values of our country had better stand up because I don't think we have much time left if we don't.

And that is a weird thing to say and to, for the first time in my career, kind of be provable.

You know,

I could back up

all of my statements of what was coming, but it still seemed like a stretch.

America not having much

more time if we don't stand up

seems very realistic to, I think, a lot of people now.

I think that that's absolutely true.

Okay, you walk into your bathroom right now.

How much of the pile of stuff is dedicated to shaving?

A whole industry sprung up around the concept that you need to have every product in the book to get a good shave.

Razors with tons of blades and soaps and gels and foams.

There's probably somebody out there trying to get people to buy mud to shave with.

I guarantee it.

You don't need all of that stuff.

You don't.

You need a razor and you need Shave Secret.

It's an oil.

It's not a foam.

And it helps reduce or eliminate all types of shaving irritations for men and women.

Ingrown hairs, shave bumps, redneck, bikini bumps, nicks, and cuts.

Shaving is an important part of our lives, both men and women, and

for men who want to be women, I guess, maybe especially for them.

There's no need to muddy the waters of shaving.

Get Shave Secret.

It's essential oils, a proprietary blend.

It's really great.

It's available regionally at HEB, Wegmans, Walmart, and Amazon.

Or you can go to shavesecret.com and use promo code Beck to let them know that I sent you shavesecret.com, Walmart, Amazon, Wegmans, HEB, Shave Secret.

From the Standing Rock Ranch, this is the Glenn Beck program.

Kids were out

stacking hay yesterday.

I had to bring in all the hay from the field.

And

I was out

trying to

just

grade my driveway because it's full of potholes and everything else.

I have to do that once a year.

And I got on the tractor about halfway down the road and it just stopped on me.

So I just got off and walked back home.

Because

I have no idea what was, you know,

I turned the key and

nothing happened.

And

I turned on the blinkers and the electric was still working.

I got off.

I actually figured out how to open the hood of the tractor.

And then I realized I don't know what I'm even looking for.

I couldn't identify, that's an engine, but I couldn't go deeper than that.

I don't know what any of those things are in there.

So

I just walked away.

And

I'm not exactly a farmer or a rancher.

Or I just an outdoorsy person.

I disagree.

I think you're doing it the right way.

The right way.

Because there's a romanticized view of farming and getting your hands dirty.

but it's also hard work.

I don't know if anyone remembers this.

Oh, my gosh.

Really hard work.

So the right way to do it is to have the nice tractor ride down the country road, and then when it doesn't work out perfectly, you

just get out and hope somebody else fixes it.

Or you leave it on the side of the road and never see it.

Yeah, it's really...

You know, it might be...

That'll be one of those rusty tractors that are sitting there in the field someday and the grandkids will be like, ah, I remember that that rusty tractor.

We used to play on it all the time.

Yep, it's because grandpa just got off because it didn't work.

Full tank of gas there.

Yeah, right.

It's like with sports.

Like, everyone wants to be the general manager of a football team.

You want to make the trades, you want to figure out the salaries, you want to get the players in and draft them and sign them and all that stuff.

There's probably like hundreds of hours a week of just, you know, HR paperwork that goes along with that job.

No one wants to do it.

That's why you join a fantasy league and you do the fun parts of being a general manager of a football team without any of the downside.

And that's what you're doing.

You're doing fantasy farming.

Right.

So I am.

I really am.

My wife won't let me buy buffalo.

I want a couple of buffalo.

And because we have more than enough space for the buffalo to roam, if I may wax poetic there for a second.

Beautiful.

And

my wife is like, you don't even know how to take care of buffalo.

And I said, no, that's the point.

You don't take care of buffalo.

You leave them alone.

You just let them roam.

You don't take care of them.

Yeah, like you don't like people.

I'm not a farmer, but you don't put food out in a bowl for buffalo, do you?

I mean, that doesn't seem like the type of thing.

I would imagine in the winter I've got to do something, you know, give them some sort of food.

But, you know, that's something I would look into.

You know, we make sure that if you work buffalo, but I just know you...

huh?

You look into it after you have the buffalo?

No, I'd look into it before, because if it's too much work, then I don't, I don't really, I don't really want a buffalo.

I want, I mean, I just think that the buffalo is probably the best animal to have because it doesn't like you.

I like to look at it, but I don't want to pet it or do anything else.

I just like looking at it.

I can eat it if I get really desperate.

And so it just kind of stays away and does its own thing.

I think that's the right kind of animal to own.

Now, I know there's a lot of people listening and go, that's why I have a cat.

Well, cats suck.

Buffaloes.

I mean,

if your cat was a buffalo, I'd be with you.

Well, I wouldn't want a buffalo if the buffalo crept in my house.

And that's what happens with cats.

Right.

In a little box.

Even if it was trained to use a little box, I'm not going to.

I'm with you.

If a buffalo jumps on my counter, I don't want a buffalo.

I just don't want.

I don't want one.

Go get your buffalo hair out of my pretzel dip.

I mean, that is, and this is an argument that my wife and I have had for years, and I don't think I'm going to win this one.

No, yeah, you don't win many of those arguments.

None of those really come back with you victorious.

It's not the way those work.

Yeah.

Known you for a long time.

That's not the way those ever turn out.

Yeah.

Well, we're coming back.

We're coming back in a couple of weeks.

And

my wife just said last night, okay, I think I'm ready to go home.

And I think it's because she doesn't remember what home was like or what it's like

now in Texas.

I mean, we're just living a

normal life that I think most Americans in the middle of the country are living.

And, you know, if you're living in one of the cities, it's nuts.

It's nuts.

Look, Texas doesn't feel all that different than it ever has, honestly.

I mean, certainly many people would criticize, I guess, Texas for that.

But, you know, you're not going to major gatherings.

The concerts, the big sporting events aren't around, and that's a change.

But, you know, most people only do that a couple times a year, probably anyway.

The restaurants, I don't, it's not that much different.

You're more spaced out.

You know, you're down to 50% right now.

Which is, you know, it's more of an effect on business than it is on the average person's viewing or restaurant experience because not that many people are going out to them.

I mean, there's enough people who are just like hesitant and don't want to go out and try it that it's not hard to get into most restaurants or anything like that there's not a it's not you see more people in masks which can be annoying especially in you know yesterday was 104 degrees here so the second you're thrown on a mask now obviously most of the time you're only using it inside but still there's that moment where you're putting it on or you're taking it off as you get outside it's it's pretty rough you know that sort of stuff but it's minor compared to where we were in march and april i mean it feels much more normal than it was just a little bit creepy and i got to be honest with you, I was thinking this the other day.

Over the past few months, I've cut down my human interaction by, let's say, 80%.

You know, I still see people occasionally, but like, you know, you're not having as many gatherings.

Like, my kid just finished a little league.

You know, there's still that going on.

And you still see people, but your interaction is much less and it's different.

You're standing a little bit further away, maybe.

You're not doing all of the same things.

We all know all the steps that people take.

And at this point, it's become a little bit second nature to not walk up.

I mean, you don't have the Seinfeld close talkers anymore really around.

Everyone kind of keeps their distance a little bit.

And I've noticed, too, since all this started, not only have I not had COVID, thank you, thankfully, but also I haven't been sick with anything else.

And that started me down this sort of like thought train of when you think about it, the reason you're getting sick is because at some point during your day, someone has breathed out some sort of droplet or touched something that you've touched, and then you've inhaled or ingested something that has made you sick.

And as you go down this road, you end up in Howard Hughes' movie theater peeing in bottles and never coming out again.

I'm there now.

I'm there now.

I have a stack of milk bottles over in the corner.

I mean,

it's so drunk.

It is.

You realize how gross it is.

It's really,

but it's also really dangerous because look at how many things we're not fighting off right now that are out there, new bugs, new things.

We don't fight them off.

We start going back and we're all going to be sick.

It's funny.

I don't know if it adjusts that fast.

I know some people think that.

One of the things I thought was really interesting going through all this COVID stuff is that they have this mobility data, which just suspend your instinct to think how creepy this is that they have all this data basically monitoring every single place you go every single day.

And as of right now, they're just aggregating it, right?

And so they aggregated and they showed a mobility change.

Like, for example, when we went into

shutdown, it was never a shutdown.

Like, we never got past about half of people staying home.

I mean, that was about as much as we ever shut down in the United States.

But when we got down there,

when you look at the numbers, about 25% of the population was already in shutdown.

Like they were already in their homes,

very rarely ever leaving, not going to work, not going to school, staying basically inside their homes all the time, with the exception of occasional trips for, you know, the grocery store or whatever.

People are, you know, some are disabled, some are just don't like to leave the house, some are in my 600-pound life, almost all of them need cranes to get out when they need to go out.

You know, I don't know what the situation is, but I was shocked at that.

There's you, there's me.

Right.

You would be like, I don't know.

You're at least in two of those categories.

I mean, I need a crane, but I got a crane so I can get to work every day.

Right.

But the point is that people,

a good chunk of the country is already doing this shutdown thing and is doing it all the time.

And those people don't, when they come out, get instant bugs and die in days because they have no immune system left.

I mean, we're a pretty resilient species.

This is why this is such a notable event.

This is why we haven't had one of these in a hundred years, like

on this level.

These things, generally speaking, we take care of pretty handily.

It's just that.

I don't know if I

don't know if you buy it.

I don't know if I buy on this

level stuff anymore.

I mean, I just, I really don't.

I mean, I look at this.

Why aren't we just quarantining those people who are sick and saying to people who are in the most

dangerous or vulnerable situation, stay home?

And all the rest of us go to work.

I mean, that's where we are in Texas, certainly.

I mean, you know,

a lot of people are telling us.

Oh, that's heresy.

That's heresy in California, New York, Michigan, a lot of big states.

That's heresy.

Most places are open, though, at some level.

California just closed down restaurants again.

A lot of companies are saying, you know what, you can do your stupid job at home.

Just do it at home and don't come into my office.

I don't want to get sued by you because of coronavirus if you get it.

That's very common, but from at the company level,

it's not particularly common at this point when it comes to state laws.

I mean, we went through a period of legitimate shutdown.

I mean,

Trump basically did six weeks, right, from mid-March to the end of April.

And, you know, some states went longer than that.

Some states went shorter than that.

Some states didn't do it at all.

Some, you know, places like New York are just really starting to

open up.

But generally speaking, there's a lot of, there's a lot more movement there than there was.

You know, I don't think it's one of those situations that

we can...

We can't be in a constant shutdown.

And very few people are actually advocating for that.

The news likes to make big shows of all the people who come out and say we need to shut down for the next year until we have a vaccine, everybody realizes that's not sensible.

But

taking some precautions to try to minimize the spread as much as you can is obviously something you could do while having an economy open if people actually listen to it.

So I think that that's a sensible, sensible thing.

You've seen a shift from the White House, I think, on that lately, where they've been encouraging these things even more.

But I mean, when you talk about, you know, on the level, in the United States, certainly, there hasn't been, you know, there has not been something that has had this sort of damaging effect since 1918.

I mean, you know, when it comes to an infectious disease, there's really not a competitor at this point.

All right, let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's RechTech.

Sometimes you just want to stand out there in your skinny jeans at the RekTech, you know, with your organic, gluten-free craft beer, gazing lovingly at the big old slab of tofu lathered up in vegan avocado oil.

Ah, nice, tasteful serving of lemongrass shoots on the side.

Life is good when you're a vegan, you think to yourself, shortly before passing out on the deck.

Well, the good news is

you can make vegan food.

My daughter's been making tofu.

We've been smoking the tofu on the RekTech.

Wow.

And

we've been making big old fat juicy steaks as well.

It's a smart grill.

It has smart grill technology and perfect stainless steel design.

RekTech's going to to take your cooking game up to a much higher level, especially if you're grilling, you know, real food.

Been cooking with the RekTech for a few months now, and our family has gone from zero to hero.

I mean, I have for sure.

Because I burn everything.

Not with RekTech.

It is great.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

So the nuclear family is under attack

and you're going to start seeing this everywhere, talking down the family.

This is such a well-coordinated,

well-financed.

Do we have the George Soros theme by any chance, Sarah?

Do we have that loaded yet?

This is so well-financed by George Soros and others.

And it's a coordinated attack on our nation and all of the things that we hold dear.

Family is probably the thing that we hold most dear in our nation.

Our families,

Christmas, Thanksgiving, all built around God and families.

Well, those are the two things that are under attack.

Good news in

California, the California churches are starting to stand up, and you've got to stand up.

Catholics, you are in real, real danger.

This social justice, Black Lives Matter stuff is everywhere.

And you've got priests losing their jobs because they're speaking out against it.

If you want to retain a faith that is based on Christian individualism and forgiveness, you've got to stand up.

Churches, you're being told you can't reopen anymore.

If you decide that you're not going to reopen, that's fine.

But you decide this is your First Amendment.

And because

the governor of California has come out and said, well, you know, the protesters are doing something important.

Wait a minute.

Are you saying that the other First Amendment right of religion, that that's not important too?

I think it's the most important thing.

And you've got to stand up and stand together.

And

we are,

the more we look at our problems and don't fix our family and don't fix our faith, the farther behind the eight ball we get.

Those two things are critical.

And tonight I'm going to show you the attack on the family and I'm going to correct the stats.
