Welcome to the program.
We're glad to have you.
It is Friday.
I want to talk to you about American financing.
If you are looking to
buy a new home, get a new loan, refi, I can't recommend these people highly enough.
They've been with me since right after the 2008 crisis,
where in 2008
they were asking me to voice work for them, and I said, no, because I don't believe in any of you guys.
And they said, no, we agree with you that this whole thing is a house of cards is going to collapse.
And I said, Well, let's see how everybody that you've given loans to do afterwards.
They had no problems.
I mean, everybody had problems, but they were, they came out really, really well out of that because they don't try to sell you, they listen to you and then they advise you.
I have seen them say, you know what, don't take this loan.
This is the best we can get.
Go to this person because I think they'll give you that loan.
And if that's what you want to do, go do that.
We won't make that loan.
I just trust these people.
They will help you sort your finances out and save you a buttload of money.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Hello, America.
It's Friday.
So glad that you have joined us today.
I'm not sure if I should greet you now with Zig Heil
or we should worry that maybe we're coming to the book of Revelation.
I'm not sure.
Just looking at what's happening in Los Angeles,
Washington State, there's new facial recognition software that can determine whether or not you're a criminal.
I don't mean that because you know you have a mug shot somewhere.
No, but because that's what you look like.
And they're really, really sure this is going to work this time.
And they're very excited to give this to police.
It's just, I just think it's wonderful.
Also,
can you buy t-shirts for any reason at all?
I mean,
I mean, if you're going to wear a t-shirt,
you better have the right reason.
Until there's some new rules coming out.
This one, thank God, is coming from South Africa and not from America.
But
the march
to insanity continues not only in America, but all around the world.
Oh, and one more tip.
Democratic socialists,
people are flocking to the Democratic Socialists.
Yes, their roles are actually expanding.
Are we becoming more socialist and less charitable?
I'll tell you, this hour.
Plus, Chris Stewart from Washington on unmasking.
And if that's really something that happens all the time and there's no problem.
Coming up.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
You know, it's crazy.
She says that every day, and it is the Glenn Beck program, which is just weird, huh?
All right, let me tell you about real estate agentsitrust.com.
If you are trying to get your house sold
and
you need to move, did you see that Joe Rogan said that he might move to Texas?
Yeah, it's going to be an even more populous state, it seems like a lot of people from California in particular looking to make that move right now.
Yeah, but if they all move here, we can move there.
Because all of those.
I don't want to move either, but I wouldn't mind Texas with an ocean.
You know what I'm saying?
And if you get rid of all of the progressives in California and they've just, they all like, we got to get out of here.
Yeah.
Then we can just like six conservatives could move there and take over the state.
I'm looking to imagine what we could do with it.
I mean, Rogan is an interesting guy and has a lot of common sense.
Although he did seem to endorse Bernie Sanders.
So I don't, I don't know.
No, I know
I do want to say this, Joe, California is the place you ought to be.
So because at least for your voting.
Yeah, we don't need anybody else.
Yeah, just if you're voting for Bernie Sanders, Texas is really not your place.
All right.
Realestateagents I trust.com is a company that I started probably six, seven years ago.
And
it was born out of frustration, me and my brother, and we were just like, how do you find a good real estate agent?
Well, I was doing work with the 500 best real estate agents, according to the Wall Street Journal.
And after about two years of working with them, you know, and just kind of getting to know them and asking them, how do I find a good real estate agent?
We came up with a system to be able to find out who it is.
And we thought it would be really good to share that with you.
It's a free service to you.
If you're looking for somebody that we deem, you know, probably the best, if not the best in your area.
I mean,
we've got about a thousand agents and it depends on how you judge them.
We judge them for honesty, integrity, how long they've been doing it, how they rank in overall sales.
Are they the kind of people that go the extra mile or not?
What are their reviews like?
So, and marketing, do they have a good marketing campaign?
We look for those people and we'll pass them on to you.
Realestateagentsitrust.com.
I urge you to do your own homework and interview these people and other people, but we're going to find the right person for you that you really should interview at least.
Realestate agents I trust.com.
That's realestate agentsitrust.com.
Okay, so Stu
Governor Jay Inslee from the great state of Washington
has now laid plans out for statewide contact tracing initiative.
Sounds like fun.
The initiative is robust.
I'm quoting.
It's vigorous
and it's comprehensive.
Wow, it sounds like Common Core.
And he said, it needs to be all three to be successful.
If we don't succeed in this second stage of our efforts, this virus might come back and bite us.
I got news for you.
It's going to come back.
It's going to come back next fall, and it's going to come back the fall after, and it's going to come back the fall after that.
It's always going to be with us.
Okay.
It's like the flu.
It's good.
No, I don't mean the symptoms.
It's like the flu.
It's a virus.
It's a virus.
Okay.
Contract tracing involves interviewing people with positive COVID-19 tests to identify who they've been in contact with, getting those people tested and making sure they isolate themselves and their families.
Okay, so wait.
So now you have to keep a list of everybody that you've come in contact with, with, and then you have to give that list.
Let me see who you've been talking to.
It will be interesting.
Obviously, some of that, right, is very basic disease prevention, right?
If there's a measles outbreak, they would do that.
I mean, it's, you know, that's just interviewing.
They've been doing that forever.
The question is: when it comes to a Jay Inslee approach to that, is it going very, very,
very far down that road?
Well, he needs 100% compliance.
Just 100% compliance.
100% compliance.
Just 100%.
He needs 100%.
And they're going to send people to your home, and they're going to be conducting these interviews.
And if you refuse to take another test or self-isolate or give them the names of people you have been with lately,
then
I want to quote him exactly.
We will have attached to the families a family support person who will check check in with them to see what they need on a daily basis and help them.
If they can't get a friend to do their grocery shopping, we'll help them with their groceries in some fashion.
As far as refusal, it shouldn't come to that.
And it really hasn't so far.
We've had good success.
But individuals that refuse to cooperate with contact tracers or refuse testing will not be allowed to leave their homes.
to purchase basic necessities as groceries or prescriptions.
So they're just going to starve the people to death if they don't agree with this?
Is that?
Well, no, no, no.
He said they're going to have somebody to go grocery shopping for you.
You'll just be in prison in your home.
You will not be allowed to ever leave your home unless you participate.
And only 100% need to do that.
Oh, okay.
So yavel.
Because I thought what he was saying was if you participate in the program, they will bring you the groceries.
So
you're saying if they don't participate in the program, they're still going to shop for them?
Yeah, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
The family support who will check and see what they need on a bit.
Oh, yeah, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
You're right.
You're right.
We're just going to starve them out.
Eventually, they're going to be like, oh, take my names.
I'm really hungry.
I need Cheetos.
And eventually it works.
You know what?
It worked in those really nice, I don't know if you saw these, the subdivisions that the Germans made in Poland for the Jews.
They were beautiful little subdivisions,
it was a gated community that they built.
And I think this is wonderful.
Now, I was thinking that it might be a little Hitlerian
to do this.
But then I thought, I'm not sure, because this sounded familiar.
And so I looked this up.
And that no man might buy or sell save that he had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name.
That's from a little book.
I don't remember.
It's kind of a dusty book, but there was something about not being able to buy, sell, get groceries, anything, unless you received the mark.
And
like, I would think just most people, right, are very interested if they find out they've had COVID, right, to tell the people they've been in contact with that they have COVID so they can get tested.
That's something that most people are going to want to do.
That doesn't mean that they want to play with Jay Inslee.
Right, right.
But some people may not.
I mean, you know, we had this with the AIDS virus.
There were people that went out intentionally, and those people went to jail.
They went out intentionally to infect people.
Okay, that's different.
But now I have to have a list of everybody I've come in contact with.
And you know what they say?
The supporters of this said it's really not going to be a problem because we'll just monitor the cell phones of everybody that comes into contact with them anyway.
Oh my gosh.
Okay, even more scary.
Now,
the county of Los Angeles has partnered with hotel associations to identify sites that will meet the operational needs of the program that they're unveiling, and that is housing the homeless to make sure that they don't have coronavirus
and
commode, they need to have rooms that they can lock down people.
And so they're now saying that if the hotels don't participate, they will just commandeer the hotels.
They will just take those hotels over.
The city of Los Angeles is saying this.
May I just point out we're on a crazy train to hell here?
I mean, you know,
I am actually, I believe Dr.
Fauci.
I believe that he believes he's right.
And I believe he is instructing us just on health.
There needs to be the balance of psychological help,
our rights, and our economy.
Okay.
So when we balance him, I'm fine.
But the media seems to only be taking his side of it and then trying to pit him against Donald Trump to break up this relationship like they do all the time.
And, you know, I would just like to ask the liberals and the media, You split those two apart.
If you actually believe that Donald Trump is trying to kill everybody in the country and Dr.
Fauci is the hero, what the hell are you doing getting him out of the White House?
What are you doing?
Yeah, wouldn't your goal be to write the stories about how they have a really good working relationship and how
Donald Trump, like you, you understand how this stuff works.
You come out here and make a media
divide.
It's like if your friend is dating a girl that you don't like and you're just constantly leaking, you know, trying to break them up because it's irritating you.
No, no, no.
May I give you a real world
example on just exactly what you're saying?
The guy who I grew up with, Robert,
he's like my brother.
Okay.
He lived in my house for a long time and we grew up together.
And I was dating a girl in high school.
And he, as my best friend, and he would say all the time, I mean, why are you dating her?
I mean, I don't get it.
It's not.
I mean, really?
Yeah, I don't get it.
I mean,
just, I mean,
really?
And so it just planted a seed of doubt.
And I'm like, oh, maybe he's right.
He, as soon as I broke up, he started dating her.
He's now married to her.
He's married to her.
Okay.
I didn't know that's true.
Yes.
Colleen.
I dated Colleen.
And Robert was right.
I mean, the one time we did kiss, it was like I kissed her goodnight at the doorstep and it was, and we both looked at each other and went, that was weird.
it was like kissing your sister or something uh so he was right about it but he's the guy who's planning the seed of doubt and that's what the media is doing yeah and they will wind up dating fauci if they break them up right like that's what they want to do he'll be a CNN yeah he'll be a CNN uh roundtable commentator and I will say this about Fauci because he takes a lot of heat from the right and as you point out even in his testimony he says I'm not advising on economic matters at all that's like he's just saying that he thinks if the right world for a medical, like I don't understand how people don't get that relationship.
Job.
That's his job.
Okay, real quick because I've got so much.
We have Chris Stewart coming up in a second.
I've got to just shoehorn some of the, pardon the pun on this one.
South African stores will now only sell shoes if they are closed toe
and short-sleeve shirts if they are promoted or displayed to be worn under jackets or jerseys.
So in other words, if you have a really cool t-shirt and it has a design and it's displayed or promoted as somebody just wearing a t-shirt, you can't sell it.
So,
if undergarments are made for warmth, you can sell them.
Crop bottoms worn with boots or leggings are okay,
but crop bottoms without boots or leggings, you cannot sell.
This
is
craziness.
It is absolutely craziness.
And it's not a coincidence that something else is happening at exactly the same time here in America that I will explain in one minute.
All right, you know what's better than an offer of free stuff?
Well, when that offer gets extended beyond the original cutoff date,
if there's one thing that Shamani likes, it's happy customers.
So they've decided to extend their Mother's Day special out a little bit longer.
If you haven't already taken advantage of the special, don't miss out on it now because they're only going to do it for a little bit longer.
Here's what you're going to get when you go with the extended Mother's Day special.
If you want the best in skincare, if you know someone, if you have a loved one who wants to get involved in this, and I don't think they're going to check any...
birth certificates or anything if it's not a mom.
I'm pretty sure you can scam them and still get this deal.
Oh, no way.
I'm I'm pretty
trying
is the government there to protect us they are going to ask you for a list of all of your contacts for the last six months but other than that no um don't tell them I told you this but go ahead you can gall them up classic genucelle and the jawline treatment at a discount never offered before it's still a mother's day special they're gonna still double the offer for free and throw in the genucell immediate effects also free satisfaction is guaranteed or you get your money back uh they've extended this special double your order free at genucell.com or 800-577-8709.
And don't forget, Genucelle Immediate Effects, one of their most popular products.
Also, free plus free shipping.
It's a great deal for a limited time only.
Get your double order free at genucelle.com.
It's G-E-N-U-C-E-L.com.
Let me just give you one thing on this.
GenuCell.
Sure.
Look at me.
And realize I don't use it.
That's a great commercial.
That's the best commercial of all time for Genucelle.
10-second station ID.
I've got to tell you about this new facial recognition thing.
It is crazy.
University of Harrisburg has developed an automated computer facial recognition software they claim can predict with 80% accuracy and no racial bias whether a person is likely to be a criminal purely by looking at a picture of them.
They're automating the identification of potential threats without bias.
They say their aim is to produce tools for crime prevention, law enforcement, and military applications.
Now, in their own press release,
they say,
they start with saying that they can recognize likely criminals, and then they quickly move into just criminals.
So it's not just just likely
by the end of the press release, it's criminals.
You know, they know that they're going to catch these criminals.
The research team claims to be removing bias and racism from the decision-making, leaving it up to just the algorithm.
You know, and that wasn't written by humans that have any kind of bias.
No, this is just an algorithm.
Look, Facebook uses an algorithm.
Google uses an algorithm.
You know, there's no bias there.
Good God, God, what's happening to us?
Now, at the same time, all of this stuff is going on, and we're talking about Draconian kind of stuff where they just pulled the business license.
Remember the 77-year-old guy?
He can't,
he's going in a thousand-dollar fine a day because they revoked his business license.
The state troopers said they're not going to arrest this guy.
So the state went another way.
They just are just decimating his business.
You've got now, we're going to just start taking hotels.
Give us the name of the people you've been around or you won't be able to leave your house and buy food.
This is nuts.
Let me give you this story.
The Democratic Socialists of America have an estimated 10,000 new members in the last month.
People are starting to look around and say, man, capitalism.
See if this doesn't sound like a prediction, Stu.
People are just starting around to look around and say, man, capitalism capitalism just isn't working.
If the markets can't even produce hand sanitizer or toilet paper or masks during a plague, what good is this system?
Oh my gosh.
You're going to say they actually did produce those things?
I mean, everybody on earth is selling masks right now.
As far as I know, at least in the stores I've been to recently, both sanitizer and toilet paper are all back in stock.
Water's in stock.
I mean, I don't know that that's the case in every single place in America, but the market's done pretty well here.
Yeah, in fact,
it's dwarfed every market that
isn't free.
In London, they've had all kinds of problems because, ah, they don't have a free market when it comes to some of these things.
By the way, this is coupled with, and this is really disturbing.
The percentage of Americans donating to charity has hit an all-time low.
73% have donated money to a charitable cause
in the past year.
73.
Prior low was 79% in 2009.
Now, this probably is because of the coronavirus.
And I understand if we've lost our job or we're worried or we're on the edge, yeah, you just volunteer your time or do something.
But we must...
We must remain charitable, even if it is in our own time.
We must remain charitable.
I remember my grandma, she was not a wealthy person by any stretch of the imagination.
And I remember her making what she used to call lap robes.
These were, they were quilts, and she would be, she'd be making them all year long.
And, you know, when she died, I was like, what happened to all of those lap robes that she made?
She didn't tell anybody.
She was making them for the homeless, and she would just go down to the homeless shelter, and they had these really great grandma-made quilts and that was her service.
We must stay engaged and
do everything we can even if we can't afford it.
Stay engaged or the government will have to do it.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Chris Stewart is coming up next.
We're going to talk about unmasking people and what's going on in Washington.
Somewhere in America, within the sound of my voice, there's a man walking a slow, sure path to the iron-gray curtain of heavy morning rain.
The isolating rhythm of the downpour pelts the brim of his hat and his duster and the fast-changing drone he knows so well.
He could stay inside, but the work of the land pauses for no man, least of all him.
They're cattle to check, fences to men.
There's a hunk of land with his and God's name on it, and he's the caretaker.
Looks around at the rain.
Looks like God is keeping his part of the bargain.
He steps in the mud mud and on that land, and his feet are warm and comfortable in his pair of Takovis boots.
He likes Takovis because they remind him of the man he strives to be.
They're made by hand with integrity.
200 steps to do it.
They're half the price of a similar quality boot, but twice the quality of a similarly priced boot.
That's good enough for him.
Good enough for you.
It's good enough for me.

If you want the deal, go get it today.
Is the Glenn Beck program?
We're glad you're here.
It's Friday.
I wanted to bring Congressman Chris Stewart on.
Chris is a friend of mine and a friend of the program.
He is serving now on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, also on the Budget Committee and the Appropriations Committee.
So there's a lot to talk to him about.
But I wanted to start with Michael Flynn.
Welcome, Chris.
How are you?
Good morning, Glenn.
I was up near your ranch the other day and it's beautiful up there.
You should come on up.
I am dying to go up there.
So people know who you are.
Number one New York Times best-selling author of fiction.
I mean, great stuff.
World record-setting Air Force pilot.
You were an owner and CEO of a small business.
Now you went to Congress.
You have a lot of credibility on intelligence, but you're also on this intelligence committee.
So I kind of wonder if you can even tell us stuff because you get in serious trouble.
unless it's all out in the open, right?
Yeah, and the other thing, Glenn, is we actually, Republicans, abide by the rules.
And that's why this thing with Michael Flynn, the unmasking, and the list goes on and on.
This is stuff that we've known for three years, but we couldn't talk to people about.
Because unlike some of my Democratic colleagues, we don't go down in the skiff and then go out and leak it to the press so that they can be dishonest and lie about people and create this false narrative.
And what we've seen with General Flynn is absurd that this thing went forward the way it did, these accusations against him.
I can't tell you how many times I talked to you and said, Chris, what's really going on?
You were in all of these things where you heard Brennan and Clapper and Power and everyone else, Rice, saying, We have zero evidence.
There's no evidence on any of this.
How that must have killed you not to say while they were on television saying, oh, yeah, I mean, they're getting close to something.
Yeah.
Glenn, imagine that
we're downstairs, we're in a classified setting where they have to tell the truth, and they answer these questions.
Nope, no evidence, no evidence, no evidence.
And then they go upstairs, and I'm talking about the clappers and the comies and the others in the world, who then go on television and say, oh, yeah, the walls are closing in.
Oh, yeah, I actually think he might be a Russian puppet.
And for us to not be able to respond to that other than just to say, it's not true.
And people would look at
you lost your mind?
Because the evidence says it is true.
And for three years, we've lived with that.
So, Chris, this is the time to respond.
Are these people going to be prosecuted?
I think Attorney General Barr is the most important man in America right now next to the president.
And I really mean that because he is the person with his assistants of Mr.
Durham who are, they're like a starving dog on a bone on this.
And they are committed and always have been to A, telling people the truth and to be
work through whatever legal process is appropriate.
The problem that we have, and this is, I mean, so the good news is I think there will be, there certainly should be, and I think the American people are going to demand it the more they understand this.
The problem is, and this is the concern I have, is talking with the Attorney General a few weeks ago, he said these are smart people and they had time to cover their tracks.
So he's got a challenge ahead of him.
He's not working,
doing a job against a bunch of fools.
But Glenn, you can't look at this information and it begs the question about will they be held accountable?
And they have to be.
Chris is.
I was talking to somebody yesterday who's a really logical, he and his wife, really logical.
They're big Trump supporters.
And
in the course of a conversation, he said, you know, we're even starting to doubt Trump.
And I said, what?
And he said, yeah, I know, it's crazy.
But I thought, you know, for a couple of days last week, I was like, maybe he's being blackmailed.
Is he being blackmailed?
I said,
what would make you say that?
And he said, immediately, you know what it is, Glenn?
I don't trust anyone because everyone lies about everything and no one's held accountable.
And so what am I supposed to do?
When I see something that doesn't fit, I immediately now jump to the crazy thoughts because crazy stuff is happening and no one is paying a price.
You and I both know, Chris, a marriage will not survive if there is not trust.
There's no trust in America.
If we don't restore trust, we do not make it.
No, I couldn't agree with you more, Glenn.
I came back from Moscow.
This was a couple years ago, and I was doing some, you talked to some people about that.
And I did an interview and someone asked me, and we get get asked this question all the time because you know sitting on Intel Committee it's what we do they say what's the greatest threat facing our nation again I was asked that question and without thinking I said it's that no one knows what is true anymore and I surprised myself at the answer but I was thinking about it after and I thought that's absolutely true that is the foundation upon which everything that we have is based and we've lost that and and and let me ask you this as a as a kind of an appendage to that if two fbi agents came in and just said to you hey we just want to chat with you about something there's no one in the country who would do that any longer.
I mean, this institution, which is so important to us, under the leadership of Comey, has lost that trust that you were talking about, that foundation of what is true anymore.
And it's going to take a long time for us to rebuild that to where people can say, I think this is true and this is good and this isn't.
We've lost that.
Chris, somebody,
if this stuff isn't exposed entirely and they're not cleared out, somebody needs to go to jail.
A good guy needs to go to jail to say, this is what's going on, and I know I'm violating all kinds of codes, but no one's doing anything.
And the American people have to know.
You want to arrest me for exposing this?
Then arrest me.
Because we don't survive if this is not cleared up.
Talk to me a little bit about how
about unmasking.
They say this is no big deal.
It happens all the time.
Tell me how this is different.
Well, then let's ask this question.
How many times did the Vice President of the United States ask for a U.S.
person's name to be unmasked in the eight years he was in office?
And who was it?
Because that will give this context.
You know, if it turns out that Vice President Biden is asking for people to be unmasked on a daily basis, then yeah, you're right.
That's not a big deal.
But if it turns out he wasn't, then that begs further questions.
How many times did Susan Rice ask for unmasking in the two months between the election and the inauguration, and compare that with her activity and unmasking in the previous number of years?
That's what gives this context.
And if they can argue, hey, we were unmasking U.S.
citizens all the time, then there's no there there.
But if it turns out that they weren't, and by the way, they weren't, then this does give us a greater understanding into what motivated them to unmask on specifically, not just General Flynn, but particularly on General Flynn.
Because it was easily politically motivated.
It also
has to be answered.
You know, Samantha Power, she's the Secretary of the UN.
Why is she unmasking Flynn seven times in a month?
Why is she doing that?
And then saying,
I didn't do that.
It might have been somebody else uh isn't that a breach of your security clearance in the first place but why is she unmasking and did that information go to someone else uh and then use that as i was talking to a very high high-level source who said this this and this that that's how the media was was getting all of this was from these unmaskings.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
And that's the key to this.
Look, if you can justify your unmasking, then as a normal course of your work, then I accept that.
Or if perhaps
there's just a question there, I mean, that's fair.
But there's got to be two things to that.
Number one is, was there a justification?
Because in this unmasking process, you're supposed to put the reason for why.
It can't just be random.
You have to have an actual reason why.
And did this is a question.
On their request, did they justify it?
And then the second thing, which is
this.
Yep.
Well, I want to say the second thing is, who did you talk to about that?
Because we know that this was leaked.
And Glenn, this is important.
It's not just General Flynn that's important about this.
This revealed the fact that we were listening to the Russian ambassador, and a lot of people didn't realize that before.
And now everyone in the world knew.
It actually
hindered our ability to gather intelligence.
This was an important national security element to this, leaking.
And And that's the key to this: who unmasked, but more importantly, who talked to the press about it?
Any doubt that Obama is involved in this?
I mean, how do you explain a January 5th meeting?
Yeah, that's exactly right.
If you'd asked me that some time ago, I would have said I don't know.
Although he is involved in this, and this is vague, but it's very, very important.
He's the one who selected these leaders.
And by proxy, he's responsible for.
he you know the susan rice memo that she wrote walking out of the office said the president wanted to make sure that we did it by the book that we didn't involve ourselves in the normal course of justice that we didn't tell the police or investigators what to do on january 5th it's documented that's what he held a meeting for and with comey and and everybody else and told them get him
yeah they were ready to drop the case yeah that and that's that's what i was the point I was just going to make is a couple of months ago, I didn't know how to ask that question.
But now we have to ask this question about what did the president know at that time?
Because during that meeting, he was aware of things, already aware of things, that no one claims responsibility for having briefed him for.
We don't know how he knew about the Michael Flynn
investigation that's going forward.
Because so far, everyone has denied ever talking to him about that.
Correct.
So I think there's some questions about that that need to be asked.
Okay,
let me just play.
Do we have from yesterday the Senator Church meet the press audio?
Okay, I want to play something for you, Chris.
This is Senator Church from the Church Commission, 1975.
Remember that date, 1975.
Think of the technology and how it's changed since.
This is what he said when we found a little bit of this in 1975.
There would be no place to hide
if this government ever became a tyranny, if a dictator ever took charge in this country, the technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose
total tyranny.
And there would be no way to fight back
because the most careful effort
to combine together in resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the government to know.
Such is the capability of this technology.
Now, why is this investigation important?
I'll tell you why.
Because I don't want to see this country ever go across the bridge.
I know the capacity that is there
to make tyranny total in America.
And we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision so that we never cross over that abyss.
That's the abyss from which there is no return.
We've crossed the abyss.
Are there enough people in Congress and the Senate that will demand
that these people are held accountable and it does stop now?
Well, Glenn, I hope so.
I'm going to answer it that way.
But I can tell you that there are a number of us.
Remember, again,
the work we did on the Intel Committee for three years has been focused on this.
How many times have I said to people, you can't give the Department of Justice or the FBI, these other agencies the power to know everything
about you, to read your emails, to look at your computer, to talk to your friends, to go through your garbage, give them that power and then say, hey, go do whatever you want.
We don't want to know.
We trust you.
It can never be that case.
That can never be the case that we don't hold them accountable.
And that's what we've been trying to do now for years in this case.
And by the way, Glenn, it stuns me how many people seem to be comfortable with a police state.
How many people are actually defending this and saying, hey, it's no big deal.
You guys are paranoid.
It's another conspiracy theory.
You know, you're investigating the investigators, breaking down the rule of law.
For heaven's sakes, that's nonsense.
For
the bad guys.
I've got to go.
You're exactly right.
We will support you.
When you guys need help, tell us, and we will make sure the people are awake and will support.
Thank you so much, Chris.
Chris Stewart.
Congressman.
Yes, thank you very much.
All right.
I want to talk to you a little bit about Relief Factor.
Relief Factor is something that has changed my life.
There is, Stu, just quick verification.
You saw me at times, I couldn't hold a pencil.
I couldn't, I mean, my hands wouldn't work.
Right?
Yeah, it's been a huge difference.
How much for you?
Yeah.
Yeah, huge difference.
I didn't think I could write anymore with my hands.
Painting was over.
Look at the paintings behind me in my art studio today.
These are things I painted just since lockdown.
I got my life back.
Get your life back.
Get out of pain with Relief Factor.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Hello, and welcome to Friday.
You know, listening to Chris Stewart there.
The one thing we have going in our favor, it's an election year and election time.
And if Donald Trump wants to get even Democrats to vote for him, those Reagan Democrats, I think those Reagan Democrats are sick of all of this.
And anybody who's honest understands what's going on and what's been going on.
And,
you know, when they find out that Clapper and Comey and all of them had nothing and were testifying under oath, we got nothing.
And then writing books and having these heartfelt, oh, you wouldn't believe what we've gone through,
it'll piss them off.
And the one thing we have going
for us is I think Donald Trump is personally pissed off about it.
And so he really deeply cares.
I think there's enough people in the Senate and the House that
are also pissed off about it.
And maybe they'll prosecute these people.
They need to be prosecuted.
I said this about Ukraine.
This is the same group of people.
Same group of people.
By the way, did you see the ambassador to Ukraine was lying?
Now we know she was lying.
Wow, really?
Kind of like what we laid out on the chalkboard?
Hmm.
Are she going to pay any price for that?
Lying to Congress on television and lying to the American people.
Gonna pay any price?
They must.
If we don't have trust, we have nothing.
Bill O'Reilly, up next.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Where do we all turn when things fall apart?
Well, if you're like me, you lean on things that stand the test of time.
Your closest friends, your family, or a cherished movie that re-inspires.
The classics are made to last, and that's why we turn to them in good times and bad.
I have one of those beloved things in my life.
It's my Takovis cowboy boots.
At Takovis, they don't see themselves as just makers of quality boots and western goods.
They believe that a good pair of boots can change the way people feel about themselves.
Now, why is that?
Why is it that something that you put on your feet can change the way you feel inside?
Because the boots are a manifestation of things that last boots that can weather the storm and walk confidently to the other side cowboy boots are and have always been for the frontiers ahead find your pair at tocovis.com slash back and face the day comfortably and confidently like the generations before for generations to come tocovis t-e-c-o-v-as.com slash back tocovis.com slash beck thank you so much uh hillary stu
i had amazing ribs last night.
We made ribs in the Rectech grill.
You know, you've been over to our house.
We have a grill in the back.
You know, I have one of these built-in kind of things, and it's a good one.
I burn everything in that thing.
I hate it.
And it just doesn't taste good.
I mean, it's just, you know, yes, it's gas-fired, but it doesn't give you any extra flavor than just doing it, you know, broiler or whatever.
We haven't used it since we got the RekTech.
It is so great.
Everything comes out perfect.
When you open it, you're not looking at that little stupid thermometer thing that doesn't ever work.
When you open it, the heat comes out.
It automatically adjusts the heat, so it brings it right back up.
It is just the best.
You can control it from your phone.

oh mr bill o'reilly welcome to the uh welcome to the program uh bill i saw your i saw your truth justice and the american way and it's funny that you would write that because i i've been saying all this week the american Way was deemed racist and went away first.
Then justice.
Where is justice?
We're trying people in the media, people who do bad things don't go to jail.
If you're not connected, American justice is over.
And now truth.
No one knows what the truth is anymore.
And it doesn't seem that a lot of people even care.
Truth, justice, and the American Way are over right now.
Well, I wrote the column as an homage to you, Superman, because you remember
the
show Superman launched in 1953,
and the narrator said, and
truth, justice, and the American way was why the Super Guy was in business.
So which one do you want to take first?
The collapse of what, Deck?
What do you want me to do?
Well, we know the American Way.
I mean, that's the university systems and everything else.
That's Hollywood.
We know that for a long time.
So let's start with
justice and let's look at what's happening in Washington with justice.
Okay.
So justice is divided in this country into two areas.
Civil justice, which is lawsuits, divorce, things like that.
Criminal justice.
So there now is a progressive movement that has taken root
called restorative justice.
That means you don't punish the criminal.
All right, this is what's happening here right now in New York.
They're letting everybody out of jail because, allegedly, because of COVID, but that's not why they're letting them out.
And most of these people are drug addicts.
So the moment they get out of Ruggers Island, they go wherever they go, and they need heroin or methamphetamine or cocaine, and they don't have any money, so they steal it.
And then they get rearrested, they go back, they let them out.
It's a merry-go-round of opioid addiction.
So the reason that the progressives don't care about that is because they don't hold anyone accountable for their behavior unless you're a conservative.
So it's not the drug addict's fault that they're stealing to buy heroin.
Society made them do it because their ancestor was a slave.
You know, whatever.
You know the narrative.
All right, yeah, yeah, I got it.
So that's the criminal justice system.
And you have
40% of judges, lawyers, prosecutors, whatever it may be.
In San Francisco, that's the best example.
They don't want to prosecute anybody.
So you can break into a car in San Francisco.
If you steal less than $1,000, they don't even arrest you.
Believe it or not, that's in the great state of Texas in Dallas as well.
Is that right in Dallas?
I'm shouting
that the Dallas people allow you to.
Me too.
Me too.
So when you get to that level, you don't have a justice system anymore because
America America is basically saying
we don't really care if people hurt you or steal your money
or hit you in the face.
It's not their fault.
Something happened to them and we're just going to not do anything.
All right.
Civil justice.
That has totally collapsed.
100%.
Collapsed.
Because now
facts don't matter anymore.
Allegations are convictions.
All right?
You accuse, you're me too,
you're a spurned husband or wife,
it doesn't matter.
And the judges know that there's no honesty.
Perjury
is not prosecuted in civil court.
You're going to lie all you want.
Why bother take the oath when you're not, the civil, when it's proven you're lying, they still don't do anything to you.
So that's a total collapse in this country.
Civil justice, forget it.
And not only forget it, but if you get involved in a system, and this is very important to all your listeners, you'll pay hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Hundreds of thousands.
The lawyers will charge you $1,000 an hour.
They may not tell you they're charging you that, but they are.
And you have no control over that, by the way.
The lawyer just bills his time or her time.
And then there's expenses and
whatever.
So you've got to stay out of that.
I actually buy an umbrella insurance policy policy and pay a lot of money for it that protects me against any kind of chaos legally because I know I'm not going to get so-called justice.
Not going to happen.
So yes, the American justice system, both criminal and civil, is
in steep decline, Beck.
Okay, so now let me go here on justice.
Let me give you a couple of things.
First of all,
we now know
that all of the Adam Schiff transcripts,
he knew that there was no proof of the Russia-Trump collusion.
None.
You're being nice to me, Comey.
You're being nice to me.
Yeah, no, I
go ahead.
He knew,
he knew
that high-level Obama people
were saying there's no evidence at all
that the Russian government is.
No, he has
so he lied.
he has rice he has comey he has clapper he has pennon all under oath he knew it all he knew all that and he lied
not only to the american public on a variety of news programs but he lied to the house of representatives to his own body by holding these bogus hearings and answering and asking
right they were fine with it where's the ethics committee violation now this is this comes into the republican balliwick.
So,
where are the Republicans in the House demanding
ethical charges be brought against Schiff?
Now, I get letters, well, what do you mean, ethical?
Why don't you charge her criminally?
Because he wasn't under oath.
All right?
He didn't take an oath.
And if you're going to charge every politician who lies in the public arena, then you're not going to have anybody in Washington.
It means nobody there.
Okay?
Because they all rape.
We looked at, but great.
Wait, wait, Beck.
I understand what you're saying, and you're very cynical, and, you know, you always have been.
I think we have like, you know, 535 reasons to be cynical, but go ahead.
But Dallas, Texas,
Dallas, where I worked for two years at WFAA, okay, which was once
a bastion of traditional American.
Common sense.
Yeah.
I wouldn't say common sense.
It's always been a town that has been racially divided and that had a lot of animus.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, I give you a ton of money.
But it was traditional America.
There's no traditional America in Dallas, Texas any longer.
It's gone.
All right?
Okay, so
go ahead.
Go ahead.
So what I want to ask you about is
you're looking at all of these things.
You're seeing all of the transcripts.
It is now,
there's no conspiracy that for the very first time, the American people can look and read at the testimony of all of these people that were on T V saying, oh, the other shoe's about to drop.
No, it wasn't.
You just testified today.
There is nothing going on.
So
they're lying.
But this goes back to my perjury in the civil justice system.
No one's held accountable.
So you see Clapper and Brennan on CNN.
CNN CNN doesn't care if you use their heir
to lie.
So here, but here's the thing.
Barack Obama, who we now know knew about it, was involved, and helped orchestrate it with the FBI and the Justice Department, Clapper and Brennan.
He comes out and he says he was charged with perjury.
First of all, Flynn was not charged with perjury.
He was not charged with perjury.
No, I know.
I mean, he clearly missed it.
But he's talking about, you know, the rule of law.
Yes, I agree with you.
I agree with you.
What about all the people that
you surrounded yourself with that have been lying for three years?
And he knew it.
I love this rule of law thing.
I mean, you know,
he knows because he's an intelligent man, Barack Obama.
He knows that the justice system in this country has collapsed, and he knows the media has collapsed.
So what rule of law?
What are we talking about here?
It's who has the most money.
That's who wins.
So,
let me play something for you.
You heard Chuck Todd edit.
You heard him edit bar and then say,
I never heard the longer clip.
We got that one from CBS.
So, there's no accountability, no responsibility.
Yeah, I know that.
I know that.
I know that.
But he's so lazy.
Mr.
Goatee, who looks like Mainer G Krebs.
Remember Mainer G Krebs?
Krebs?
Yes.
He's so lazy.
But his producers,
they did it on purpose.
They did it.
Now, wait a minute.
Let me play something.
Grab the Daily
Edit, will you please?
I'm sure you don't listen to it, but The Daily is a New York Times podcast, one of the biggest podcasts in America every day, and they tell you the news.
I listen just to be able to hear what the other side is talking about.
We heard this two days ago.
Now, this is Sunday.
Chuck Todd airs this clip,
takes it out of context, then they're up in arms.
He has to come out and apologize for it.
It's a big, big story.
Here's the New York Times, I think two days ago on the daily.
This is Wednesday.
Thursday, I believe it was Thursday.
No, I'm sorry.
It was yesterday.
Listen to this.
And it was nothing inconsistent with the Obama administration's policies, and it was in the U.S.
interest.
He was saying to the Russians, you know, don't escalate.
He actually says that the phone calls were laudable and that it was perfectly understandable that Flynn would talk to the Russian ambassador to try to lower tensions in a very tense environment.
When history looks back on this decision, how do you think it will be written?
Well, history is written by the winner, so it largely depends on
who's writing the history.
I mean, what's fascinating about what Barr is doing is that it does not feel like every day.
We listened to the rest of it.
They never put that into context.
They knew what they were doing.
They don't care.
As long as they keep smearing, it doesn't matter what the truth is.
It doesn't matter.
Are you talking about the New York Times now?
Yeah, the New York Times and all of them.
Really, all of them, Bill.
Okay, but remember, the New York Times is the leader of the progressive movement.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What they do is picked up by the others.
So now I have to play Claude Reigns in Casablanca.
I'm shocked there's gambling here.
I mean, you made a point that I don't listen to this podcast.
You're absolutely right.
And I don't read the New York Times.
Because even if the New York Times is reporting something accurately, even if they break a big story, how would I know?
Because 80% of what they do is false.
So I mean, what's the point of me reading anything there?
I can't believe anything they do.
Even if it was true, I wouldn't know it.
But here's the thing.
They were not making the point that
the point that it was a legitimate call by Flynn.
Correct.
So they're making a point.
And so that's what's really insidious about this is in buried in another point,
they suddenly without saying anything put that clip in there and
they justify that's bad how does that justify three years of your reporting that flynn's the devil
exactly right
i mean look it's so blatantly dishonest look we got to take a break i'm sure because you got to you got to sell yes we do we do we do okay yes when we get back 60 minutes on sunday i i i need to bring something to your attention
okay good because that's one show i i stopped watching long ago Rek Tech Grills.
Let me tell you about Rectech.
Man, last night I had the best ribs ever, and I am not a guy who's, I don't think I've ever made ribs on the grill.
I almost burn, I burn almost everything.
And we have one of these really nice grills, you know, built in in the backyard and everything else.
And it's got that stupid thermometer that everyone has, you're like, you're knocking on it.
Is this thing even working?
You can't ever trust the temperature, and it's either really cold or really hot.
Oh, I hate it.
I hate it.
We have a Rectech now, which is really high-tech.
And
it has, you can control it from
your smartphone, your iPhone.
You can set it like it's an oven.
And just like an oven, when you open it, that door,
it lets a lot of the heat out.
This automatically senses that and adjusts the heat back so you have even temperatures.
And we put the ribs on yesterday and we just let it just left them.
And
it was fall off off the bone good and tasted so good because of the smoker in it.
It's a grill.
It's a smoker.
It is, it's like having a chef.
It really is.
You put it in, it comes out, and it's fantastic.

10-second station ID and then back to Bill O'Reilly.
Wham pow Bill O'Reilly.
Welcome back.
Here I am, Beck.
Beck.
All right.
Glad to know that.
It's good that the host knows that the guest is there and awaiting his next query.
Yeah, here it is.
Let me give you
a couple of things.
We have these draconian laws.
We're seeing them now in Washington State where Inslee said if you
have COVID, you're going to have to be tested and kept in your home.
And if you won't tell us everybody that you have been with, we're going to do weekly checks.
And if you've got to tell us everybody you've been with and seen, and if you don't, you're not leaving your house.
You're not going to the grocery store.
You're not going to pick up prescriptions.
I mean, it is, it's, I mean, it's, it's Nazi.
I mean, it's crazy.
Of course, I'll throw most of his stuff out, as you saw in Wisconsin this week.
I'm not so worried about that.
We do have at least that in place
when you go in for a constitutional violation.
You do have
a chance to win.
I think you will.
That was a very important ruling.
Very important ruling.
Four to three.
They basically said, in a fairly liberal state,
an unelected person cannot tell you to stay in the House.
That's what it it was.
You just can't.
The legislature can.
And the governor, backed by the legislature, can.
An unelected person can't.
So that was it.
And now everybody in Wisconsin is running around.
Is that a good thing?
Go ahead.
So Whitmer in Michigan, she goes and she says, I'm arresting this barber, 77 years old.
He can't get unemployment.
He applied for the PPP, couldn't get it.
He just wants to go back to work.
He has to to be able to eat.
So he opens up.
She threatens that she's going to arrest him.
The police come and they say, We're not arresting you.
I'm sorry.
We're not going to arrest you.
She wants us to, but we're not going to.
It goes to the court system, and the court says you can't arrest him.
So, what she does is she goes and she revokes his business license and fines him every day $1,000 if he remains open.
He's still open today.
Another Michigan man
who just his whole life has been
Walker Music.
It's a music store.
He's on television and he is just weeping because he has to close.
And he blames it on the governor.
He says, this is my dream.
I'm shutting it down, closing out this phase in my life
because I tried to get assistance and I can't.
I can't stay open anymore.
So his dream is gone.
Bill, I think that the press wanted Donald Trump to make all these executive orders nationally so he would be to blame for all of these things.
And all of the stories about these people, the media is ignoring because it's their governors.
And they would have been doing all kinds of puff pieces on all these businesses that are losing their lives and their livelihoods because of Donald Trump.
Well, here's the good news in these stories.
Oh, Whitmer's done.
She's a frightening woman.
Yeah.
But she's not going to be re-elected.
I think she's she's damaged herself beyond repair.
So, yeah, you know, there's a movement to prop up people like Whitmer, but the
people are going no are not going to
have you rich live.
Okay, which brings me to some other things that are going on that I would like you to explain because I don't, I mean, I think I have the answer, but I'm not sure.
Next, with Bill O'Reilly.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
it is Friday so now if Friday or Saturday is your usual day to mow the lawn how much time are you going to be spending outside this weekend if I could cut your lawn mowing time in half
would that be worth it I want you to go to hustlerturf.com hustlerturf I want you to click on the radio button and enter the promo code Beck they have 1,400 nationwide hustler dealers.
I want you to check out their zero turn lawnmower.
You can go to Home Depot or whatever that's selling caulk and lawnmowers
and look at all those lawnmowers and then look at
a hustler lawnmower.
These things used to be all commercial.
They started making them for
people in their home.
These things are built.
This will be the last lawnmower you ever buy.
And because they invented the zero turn, it's the best smooth track system and it will cut your lawnmowing in half.
In half.

All right, BlazeTV.com/slash Glenn.
It's the last day for the $30 off special.
The promo code is Glenn.
Don't miss it.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
It's Friday with Bill O'Reilly.
Bill, there's a new $3 trillion stimulus package being pushed by Nancy Pelosi.
It is full of all kinds of leftist goodies.
Your thoughts?
Well, I heard Stu was telling everybody that my analysis of the bill was one of the most brilliant things he had ever heard and seen.
Of course, I did that on BillO'Reilly.com, and Stu's a big fan of that.
Absolutely.
Here's what I pulled out of there.
And I had a very interesting conversation with Sean Hannity about it,
because there's an editorial today in the Wall Street Journal that says this bill, Pelosi bill, is the progressive Biden platform
for the fall.
This is what Biden's going to run on.
He's absolutely right.
And I got it vehemently attacked by Media Matters for exposing this whole con.
The two things that are paramount here that nobody knows about,
all right, are number one, amnesty for illegal aliens.
That's in the bill.
So while there is a COVID pandemic, it doesn't define when that would stop, all right, no one can be deported unless you commit a violent crime.
So everybody's here.
And then there's all kinds of little goodies extending everybody's green card, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.
All right, the second thing in the bill, and you can explain to me how this affects COVID, is that pot dealers now get access to federal banks and loans.
What is that doing in this bill?
How does that help anybody in the COVID?
It's unbelievable.
So Biden, who has no idea that there even is a bill,
Okay,
this is what he's going to be told to do.
And here's why I was so attacked by the far-left websites, because I said
that Joel Biden is not in charge of any
of his platform.
Agreed.
He's being told exactly what to do by the farthest left people.
Well, he might be told...
Yeah, he might be being told what to do, you know, if you want to win.
but but that that plan is get AOC in get all of Bernie Sanders people he has now as part of his his budget committee he has the person that is the leader of the
modern monetary policy she she's the leader of it and that's who he's tapped to bring into his administration to talk about budgetary restraints
he doesn't know he doesn't know Congresswoman Ocasio is.
He thinks AOC is a pill that gives you better mental clarity.
Hey, give me some of that AOC, will you please?
He doesn't know what's happening.
So here's the perfect, perfect for Nancy Pelosi and the progressive movement.
They get somebody in there
and he's in charge, but he's not making any decisions.
Look, I told people if you vote for Joe Biden and know exactly who you're voting for, border wall, down.
Open borders, is Joe Biden going to enforce immigration law on the border?
He is not.
No.
Okay?
And here's a kicker on this.
In this idiot Pelosi bill, which is no chance, by the way, to pass, they knock out the limitation on state and local taxes that Trump put in.
That hurts billionaires
Because billionaires have eight houses like Michael Bloomberg.
And they have to pay property taxes and state or local taxes on all of that.
But Pelosi
now doesn't want the billionaires to pay more.
Well, Trump did.
Trump put that in.
Okay?
Why?
Because Pelosi is being funded by the George Soros cadres.
All of these wealthy people in Los Angeles, Georgetown, Manhattan, they're the big money behind the Biden campaign.
It's not like Bernie when you had the crazy kids sending him 20 bucks.
All right?
So that was a SOP, word of the day, SOP, to those people in the Hamptons.
Hey,
and what is
it to do with COVID?
Well, it has nothing to do with COVID.
Let me give you a couple of examples.
First of all, George Soros just gave an interview where he says, This is the crisis of my lifetime.
We are in a revolutionary moment where what would be impossible or even inconceivable in normal times has become not only possible, but probably absolutely necessary.
It's the COVID-19 has disrupted people's lives and required very different behavior.
It's unprecedented, probably never occurred in this combination.
We don't know if capitalism will even survive.
So there's George Soros.
Correct.
So there's George Soros.
Then you have CNN
putting
Greta Thurnberg on this panel to talk about how great what's happening for climate change.
You have all of these people closing things down, making it harder for a recovery to happen,
Punishing the 80% of new jobs are created by small businesses.
So when they cripple small businesses, they are crippling job creation, and they know it.
And Bill, help me out with this one.
They want
the government-run economy.
That's what socialism is.
And they've said it.
They've said it.
All right, so tell me this.
Explain.
I know Soros better than anybody.
He's not a liar.
He's up there.
I I want open borders.
I don't want the United States being its own particular country.
I want a one world.
He doesn't lie, but he is a massive power behind the progressive movement.
Now, can I get the 60 minutes before you boot me off the air here?
Yeah, go ahead.
So a big interview with this whistleblower COVID guy.
who the Trump administration
demoted,
okay?
Correct.
Because apparently he was saying that things are terrible and you're not doing what you should do, Donald Trump.
I don't know whether that's true or not.
I don't know what the guy said.
I don't know.
Here's what I do know:
the guy hires Deborah Katz to represent him as an attorney.
Do you remember who Deborah Katz is?
No.
Christine Blasey Ford's lawyer.
Oh, the most radical left law firm in the country.
That's who he runs to.
Okay.
First question from Nora O'Donnell.
Why, if you're a whistleblower and you want people to think that you're acting in their best interest,
would you hire a radical leftist like Deborah Katz to represent you?
You think that question is going to be asked?
no
no
you think no o'donnell even knows he hired deborah cats
uh maybe maybe somebody at 60 minutes somebody at 60 minutes has to know right anyway
what i'm trying to tell you is this isn't a whistleblower
this isn't somebody who's looking out for glenn beck and his family and wanting COVID to be defeated.
This is Christine Blasey Ford's cousin with a political agenda all day long.
And I'm sitting here and I'm going,
no one knows any of this.
No one's paying attention.
This guy's going to get on 60 Minutes, the most watched news program in the country, and tell everybody they're going to die because of Donald Trump.
And he was trying to save everybody from Donald Trump, but got fired.
That's what he's going to say.
And And 60 Minutes is going to let him say it.
One last question.
Yes.
We did a poll.
We did a poll, and
it didn't surprise me, but it did sadden me.
We have Susan Rice now saying she'd certainly say yes to Joe Biden if he offered her the VP.
Susan Rice, really?
With the stuff that is going on right now, someone even asked if she would take that job.
We did a poll.
And no, she's not going to.
But the fact that anyone would even ask her in a serious question with all of the scandal that is going around right now and all of the things now that have documents that have been released this week is astounding to me.
And it leads me to a poll that we took earlier this week.
We asked people,
what is the most likely outcome of all of this stuff that is coming out now
on Barack Obama and Adam Schiff and the truth of the Russian scandal?
The most popular with, I think, 68% was nothing.
And that's where I would vote.
However,
that all changes if John Durham, the U.S.
attorney, comes back and actually lays out factual evidence that shows there was an absolute
conspiracy on the part of the FBI and other elements in the Obama administration to destroy, first, Donald Trump's campaign and secondly, his administration.
That could
not happen.
Do you not think we have the evidence right now to make that case?
This will be criminal evidence backed up by indictments.
Much stronger than talk radio
and conversation.
Now,
Barr's a tough guy.
I don't think Barr is putting himself out there and they're going to come back and do a weasel, Michael Horowitz, Inspector General thing, going, oh, well, there might have been some wrongdoing, but
we really can't draw any conclusions.
I don't think so.
I could be wrong, but I see something coming here that's going to change the equation.
I think if Donald Trump really wants to really make an impact and win,
I think there are enough Reagan Democrats that will support
him
with a really reasoned, rational,
legal, methodical, well-laid out case
that looks like the adults are in charge.
I think cleaning this up would be massive for his reelection.
You got to have somebody make the case because he's not going to be able to do it because he's too emotional.
In fact, I'd like to see Donald Trump just wear that mask from now until November.
Just wear the mask.
So
we can't really hear what he says.
All right.
Bill O'Reilly, thank you so much from billo'reilly.com.
We'll talk to you again next Friday.
Thanks
okay you bet next week
as we are all slowly going back to work right now it is more important than ever that you know the numbers all of the numbers for your business if you're you know running a million dollar business you're you you've you've there's just no way to survive without
everything that you need

So you need to know
who's walking in your door, who's walking out your door, what products are going.
You need to know your account, your receivables.
You need to know all of the digital information as well.
You need to know what's happening with HR.
If you don't have absolutely everything at all times,
At any time, you need to make a decision.
You're not going to make the right one.
NetSuite by Oracle has been doing this for Fortune 500 companies for years now and they're really focused on small businesses and they're the ones that really need the help right now.
If you have a million dollar, $3 million business and you want to take that forward and at least survive, but maybe turn it into a $10 million business or more.

Do it now.
This is the Glenbeck program.
And
welcome to the program.
So, Rahm Emmanuel was on the view yesterday where you can pretty much say anything and get away with it.
He actually said yesterday that Donald Trump is a pawn in a Chinese and Russian effort to undermine American confidence.
Okay.
I mean,
you guys got to get a new record to play.
You really do.
I mean, first of all, nobody has records anymore, but I mean, maybe you get an eight-track tape with a new song on it.
I mean, now he's a pawn.
Are you kidding me?
Have you heard what he's saying?
I'm worried that we're going to war with China.
He's a pawn for China?
Really?
Then Whippe Goldberg asked about
Louis DeJoy,
who apparently is a major Trump donor, who's becoming the head of the post office.
And she actually said, you know, that's the first postmaster general in 20 years who didn't rise through the agency ranks.
Good.
Maybe they'll have a new idea.
Maybe they'll actually be able to break this incredible long-losing streak.
I mean, the post office is the most outdated.
Can you think of anything else outdated as much as the post office?
I can't.
And whatever they're doing for the past few years has not been working all that well.
I don't know.
No, no, it's not.
It's like we still have a telegraph office that we're paying for.
It's like, what?
Nobody's using that anymore.
Yeah.
I mean,
yeah,
we do send packages and stuff.
I guess some people send mail, but
I rarely use the post office to do it.
I mean, you know, and it works fine.
Like, I haven't had that bad of an experience with it, but it's like, wait, wait, wait.
At that cost to the American people, at the amount that is lost?
And like, I don't know this guy per se, but this is fundamentally what Trump was brought in to do, right?
To bring a business sense to things like this.
Hopefully this guy has great business sense and can shake that thing awake or just shut it down.
Back with more in a second.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
So, you know, with enough laws, enough rules, enough agencies, if the government wants to get you, they'll get you.
Well, I'm not doing anything wrong.
I'm just opening up my business.
Oh.
Well, maybe the police will be on your side.
Okay, let's say the police are on your side and say the government can't do that.
And then the court rules on your side, too.
No, you can open up.
These rules don't apply.
They have to be passed by, you know, the legislative body as well as the governor.
You can't just do that.
So you think the heat is off and you can just go to work because you've done nothing wrong.
And then the government decides: oh, wait a minute, we got another agency, the one that issues license.
We're going to pull your business license.
This is now happening to Carl Menke, the barber from Michigan that we have talked to already.
Last week, we thought this was done.
Nope.
Nope.
Wait till you hear the latest from him in one minute.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
You still recognize your country?
I want to talk to you a little bit about Zip Recruiter.
If you think the lockdown is going to stay forever and people aren't going to go back to work, you are sadly mistaken.
People are going to go to work, and more and more people are going to start defying these orders because they have a right to pursue happiness and a right to make money and eat and feed their family.
But there is a very American spirit to work.
That's why this is all happening.
This goes against everything that we've ever felt and were raised to do.
Now we got to work together.
How are we going to do that?
Well, ZipRecruiter is there to help.
Match the employers with the employees.
So if you have lost your job, you go to ziprecruiter.com slash work together and you apply, tell them everything you can about them, about yourself, and they're going to try to match you with the right employer in the fastest way possible.
Also, if you are an employer, you can use ZipRecruiter for free just to find those employees that you might need as you rehire or retool or whatever it is you're doing.
We've got to come together and get to solutions quickly.
Ziprecruiter.com/slash work together.
Do it for free, ziprecruiter.com/slash work together.
Now, I'm not really sure that all states are going to be, you know, encouraging people to hire people.
We now have the city of Los Angeles saying we're not fully reopening until there's a cure.
It's insane.
This is a virus.
We don't have a cure for the flu.
We don't have a cure for cancer.
Can't open until there's a cure.
This is insanity.
States like California, states like New York,
Kentucky strangely is in this boat.
And of course, Michigan.
Michigan has become a dictatorial state.
It's crazy what's going on there.
Carl Manke is a barber there that said, I don't want to be a troublemaker.
I'm not that guy.
I'm a law-abiding citizen, but I have no other option.
I've got to open my barbershop.
He did.
Police threatened to,
not the police, sorry, the government threatened to close him down.
The police actually showed up and said, we're not arresting you.
We're not going to do it.
It went to court.
Court said, back off.
You're not arresting him.
He has a right.
You don't have a right to tell him this.
So what did the governor do?
Now they have taken away and suspended his business license.
So now he's operating a business without a license.
Oh my gosh.
Why do you need one in the first place?
Welcome back to the program.
Carl, how are you?
Very well, thank you.
So
what has happened since the last we spoke?
Well, I had a cease and desist order that our local
circuit judge here decided that he wasn't going to enforce that.
He told the governor that he wasn't going to enforce it.
The sheriff's department told him they're not involved with it.
One little county, a little town in our county, has already backed away and told the governor that they're not enforcing anything.
But the Attorney General and the governor have decided that it's kind of a vindictive thing.
You know, that
I've kind of become a worm in her brain, you know, and I've become that barber
as opposed to our president calling her that woman.
So now I've become that barber in her brain.
And she is going
full force, you know, illegally, when our legislatures told her that she was out of place, this was not her assignment, that she decided to take it anyway.
So she took my license yesterday.
And of course, we're appealing that.
We have to go through their jurid their judge, actually.
You know, they have a
it's it's I have to go before the licensing board, which is their judge.
You know, I know which way that's going to go.
Yeah, of course you do.
Of course you do yeah yeah so that are you gonna open up are you gonna open up without a license anyway Carl you know that's the next week we're gonna go through this court process you know and there if that judge turns us down then we can appeal back to this judge in this county and it'll be up to him you know and of course you can't ever tell which way judges are gonna go but he turned them down once already so I'm not certain I you know I wouldn't predict anything you know I'm gonna leave it up to the
right now.
I'm going to leave it up to the judicial system, and then I will make my decision.
But I'm not backing down.
I'll tell you that.
I'll tell you that right now.
Carl,
you're 77 years old.
You've never been a troublemaker.
That's not you.
You cut people's hair.
You opened not to make a political statement just because you had to.
Do you recognize your country right now?
Do you recognize Michigan as part of the United States of America and all of the freedoms that we've always thought we had?
Well, I'll tell you what I do recognize.
Back in the 70s, 60s and 70s, I was, you know, pretty much opposed to anything that was oppressive.
The Democrat Party at that time stood for freedom of speech, human rights, civil rights, non-oppressive government.
You know, they've completely flipped around and become the oppressive government, the suppressive government, the
censor for for any type of speech.
You know, so I don't recognize that party anymore as being anything other than a police state.
I mean, that's what we have here now.
When she declared, took my license, that was a police state action.
You know, just to arbitrarily, summarily take my license because she's mad at me.
You know, so that becomes a...
I have no, you know, other than there's no proof that I've ever done anything, you know, that would be unhealthy.
They don't have any
COVID virus people that came out of my shop any more than they do out of Walmart.
So
it's a suppressive thing.
That's the real problem.
The real problem here, Carl, is it's not like you're the only business
that
is trying to open up.
There are other businesses, big businesses, that are open, and there are guidelines.
And if you live by those guidelines, it's no problem for Home Depot, for Walmart, for the big stores target but you for some reason can't be trusted well they kicked us under the bus see they did they they uh the the pot shops can be open and you know all these things but uh the barbers and the beauty shops they've kicked us under the bus you know they instead of saying well this is what we're will work with you and this is what you know the guidelines are for the other stores and this is what we'd like you to do we'll work with you they didn't they said we're going to shut you down and you will be the last to open.
And that's what they told us.
And I couldn't go another 28 days, especially after
our legislature had told her that, you know, she was out of line.
She's illegal.
You know, they told her that this was
an illegal action that she was taking.
And she decided to do it anyway, she and her attorney general.
So between the two of them, you know, I've become that kind of a
sort of the worm in their brain, so to speak, but
their souls are
just rotting their own souls doing this stuff.
Let me ask you this, Carl.
I'm in Texas, so I'm watching it from afar, and I'd love to get your read on
the legislators
just,
I think they canceled their sessions because of the protests.
And they claim that they're afraid of these protesters, et cetera, et cetera.
What's happening with that?
What's going on?
Oh, that's nonsense.
Listen,
Glenn, that is nonsense.
That's just nonsense.
You know, this political posturing on their part of being, they're fearful people anyway.
You know, they panic over anything, and they've certainly
this COVID virus thing.
You know, the insanity,
I'm not saying it's not serious.
But the insanity that's gone along with this, you know, that I see people driving around in their cars with a mask on with the windows rolled up.
You know, this is a type of insanity.
And it isn't, you know, it isn't that this is
not a serious thing because it is.
But
the fearful people, the fear-mongering that the, especially the left has done with this is to make people more fearful, you know, that they can't even go out of their house for fear of
contracting the COVID virus.
So it's, you know, it is.
It's a panic.
and I remember going through that when I was a kid with the polio virus.
You know, people panicked over that and acted very similarly.
You know, so that was back in the 50s.
So anytime that fear becomes involved with these things, it takes over.
You know, and
it's gotten to the point where reason now, reasonableness, has gone out the window and panic and fear has taken its place.
What's this costing you, Carl?
Oh, my God.
Are you getting don't don't even know yet?
You know, I'll tell you the nice thing about this is, you know, I don't have a pension.
You know, I'm a middle-class barber.
You know, I've managed to save a little income, you know, here and there and put it away for my retirement.
If I, when, you know, if I have something happens to me, my wife's left alone, she could be taken care of.
I've never taken anything from the government.
I don't want anything from the government.
I had somebody say, well, you could have gone on food stamps.
I don't want to.
I have a craft.
Right.
You know, I'm able to
take care of myself so the cost of this you know there's been a GoFundMe that's a few people have started and and I have an attorney that's working with me and and you know he it's not I've had people the attorneys coming out of the woodwork you know that wanted to work pro bono but I wanted somebody you know that also I want to pay them for their what they're doing.
I'm not one of these people who want to take stuff free, you know, just for nothing.
You know, but I have had people contribute to me.
And
I will tell you this, Carl,
you're not,
look, take,
if you get a good attorney that wants to do it pro bono, that attorney is going to be very famous if they win, so they get something in return.
And
this is something that you're fighting not just for you, Carl.
You're fighting for all of us.
You really are.
These cases have to be brought, and this has to come under control.
If it doesn't
come under control, Carl, if you and others like you lose your cases, we're in deep trouble.
We're in deep, deep trouble.
I have a good attorney.
You know, he's an able attorney, but I assured him that I honestly, you know,
he says he would work with me fairly.
And I, okay, I said that's fine.
Work with me fairly.
And, you know, the GoFundMe things that are set up, you know that will cover those kind of expenses and other expenses that I've incurred so I don't have to take it out of any type of simple retirement you know that I have that you know that I've accumulated over the years I'm middle class I'm not wealthy I'm a middle class guy and you know that's a well it's I
wondered because you're now getting you're now getting a thousand dollar a day fine are you not Well,
that's what I've heard.
Don't know yet.
I don't know where we are yet.
They were going to charge me $1,000 a haircut.
Every haircut I gave was going to be another $1,000 or something.
So I've heard all kinds of things.
The Department of Health and Human Services said $1,000 and a year in jail.
I didn't read the rest of that sentence.
Per haircut.
Yeah, per haircut.
A year in jail per haircut.
Per haircut, yeah.
That's oppression.
Oh, my God.
That's a police state.
You think?
That's a police state.
Yeah, I've,
I'm a novelist.
I wrote a story called Age of Shame, and in that story, the Warsaw Ghetto plays quite a role in that during the Holocaust period.
And the Jewish people at that time were
turning their own people in, the young people in, because they thought they would infuriate the Germans.
And they were given security.
Just get into the cattle car.
We'll give you security.
We'll take you to a nice place.
This is very similar to that.
The government is asking me to get into that cattle car, and we will protect you.
We will take care of you.
Just get in the cattle car.
And I refuse to do it.
I just won't.
What is the name of the book, Carl, again?
Age of Shame.
Age of Shame.
Is it available like on Amazon?
Well, it's available through my website.
I'd rather not use Amazon.
They kind of ripped me off there, but I have a website.
Carl Mankey.
Carl Manke.com.
Okay, that's K-A-R-L-M-A-N-K-E.com.
I got to read it now, Carl.
I got to read it.
Is it good?
Oh, yeah, it's good.
I leave out all the crap nobody wants to read.
I love you, Carl.
You remind me of
my father.
We're not that much different in age, but you're not certainly his age, but you remind me of all that was great about my dad.
Thank you, Carl.
Oh, gosh, yeah.
Well, you know, I hope my kids have leave them the same legacy and my grandchildren.
Well, you are, you know, I said
that I thought this kind of oppression, and I mean, much worse than what we're going through now, but that oppression that we hadn't seen since the 1930s was coming back to the world.
And I said, it's going to come a time when we have to decide whether
we want our children to be able to proudly say what their father or mother or grandmother or grandfather did in those days.
A lot of Germans just don't talk about the past.
And it is a choice.
And
it's not a hard choice.
Carl, you're not being heroic.
You're just not going over the edge with the rest of humanity into insanity.
That's all you're doing.
You're just standing up for what you already know is right.
That's what he's done.
That's been with me since I was in my, you know, my formative years.
Yeah.
My family.
My grandfather
came over here from the old country.
You know, and they wanted to be Americans.
That was, he changed his name from, mine is with a K.
His was with a K.
He changed it to a C so he could be more American.
You know,
that was the feeling that people had.
You know, he came over as a blacksmith.
If he was coming over here today, there would be so many regulations that he wouldn't be able to work.
No, I know.
I know.
You wouldn't be able to do the American dream is gone,
especially in comparison to the way it used to be.
Carl, thank you so much.
We'll check in again
when your hearing happens.
Back in one minute.
Stand by.
Don't have a spot.
Well, you know what is better than offering offering
a good deal?
Offering that deal for even longer.
Yes, that's right.
Offer free stuff extended beyond the original cutoff date.
There's one thing that Shamoni likes, it's happy customers.
So if you want the best in skincare, you want a great present for somebody, you want maybe you screwed up Mother's Day and you need to fix that problem.
Well, the Mother's Day special is still going on for a limited time from Shamani.
If you haven't already taken advantage of the special, don't miss out on a now.
The offer is for a limited time only.
Here's what you're going to get when

So all over the world, schools are reopening,
and there's a substantial body of evidence that children are largely unaffected by COVID-19 and minimally contagious if they do get the infection.
And there's experts and policymakers that acknowledge now that the school closures are going to perpetuate a long list of known harms to children.
And yet the United States is going a different direction.
New York says 50-50 giants that will even open the schools next year.
We've got California schools closing.
The colleges are not going to open.
This makes absolutely no sense.
No sense.
What is happening?
First of all, I don't know about you.
There's a new study out that says that 40%
of all families are now more likely to homeschool when the pandemic ends.
Yeah, I'm at the opposite end of that experience.
We did homeschool our kids,
but they have to have the structured school now.
They have to have it.
It's just fallen apart.
And I doubt I'm alone.
And what is it that they are missing?
They can't continue to do this.
These 10-minute Google meets where you talk to the teacher and they give you some stuff.
It doesn't work.
It's not working.
My wife would put them in a hamster ball and roll them into school if they had to be protected from the virus virus that way.
Oh, my God.
Likewise, my son has got to go back to school.
He's got to go back to school.
Anyway, somebody who defied everybody else and was just put up on the cross for it is Jerry Falwell, president of Liberty University.
Well, guess what?
Liberty University, they sent their kids back in spring and
no problems.

It's Friday.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
So Liberty University
did the unconventional thing while everybody else panicked and just sent everybody home.
Liberty University decided that they were going to just be smart and
do online classes because they're a leader in online classes.
They've been doing it since 1985.
And
their online stuff is really, really good.
But they decided just to send whoever they could home.
But there were foreign students and other people that had elderly parents or grandparents that live with them, and they couldn't go home.
So they kept them in the dorms, and they did all kinds of things just to keep everybody safe.
Well, as you can imagine, oh, these Christian nuts are crazy, and they're going to get us all killed.
Well, as it turns out, no, the opposite happened.
They are now the model for what schools should be doing to be able to open back up.
That hasn't stopped the New York Times and others from really lying about what was happening at Liberty University.
But no stranger to controversy, Jerry Falwell is now going to sue the New York Times for some of the things they did.
Welcome to the program, Jerry Falwell.
How are you?
I'm doing wonderful.
Is this Dr.
Glenn Beck?
It is.
It is.
It is.
That is one of the greatest things anybody's ever done for me.
I just love it.
It's provided lots of
very good memories, Jerry.
It's good to talk to you, my friend.
So, first of all, congratulations on not backing down, doing the right thing for the students, and I think for the country.
Tell us the steps that you did take because you just didn't say, we don't care, we're opening up the doors.
You took it seriously.
What did you do?
Well, you know, there were some schools, some Ivy Leaf schools, that didn't even do online.
They were too good for that.
So they just sent everybody home.
So, you know, your credit this semester is your problem.
Forget it.
There were a lot of other schools who did exactly what we did, Texas A ⁇ M, USC, Virginia Tech.
And all that was, it was simply, we did not reopen.
During spring break, the governor decided...
issued an executive order said no more than a hundred people in a gathering.
Well, we have lots of classes with over a hundred students.
And then he went down to ten during spring break.
Well, obviously
we couldn't start classes again.
So we went to the all-online format, which we've got one of the best in the world.
And then
we realized quickly that there's students who can't do online at home because they don't have high-speed internet.
And there's students who have elderly relatives at home.
And there are students, international students, who can't go home.
So we knew we were going to have to house a certain number of students.
And so just like USC and Texas A ⁇ M and Virginia Tech, we housed those students.
And we implemented measures.
We had two surprise inspections by the Governor Blackface, who came down and
gave us glowing reports on how well we were complying with every order.
We had this social distancing.
We had signs on chairs saying don't sit here, but okay to sit here.
And we had all the academic buildings open.
Campus built for 16,000 had 1,200 people on it.
And so it was like a ghost town.
We had all takeout food at all the restaurants.
We had cleaning.
I mean, we had double the force of janitors cleaning every hour.
And we had, you know, just every imaginable step that could possibly be taken to protect our students we put up no trespassing signs at every entrance to keep the cases that might be in the community from leaking into campus if you didn't have official business on campus you were for forbidden to come on campus well guess who violated
trespassing warrants
i was just gonna say that stopped everybody except the new york times except the new york times that's right so we swore out warrants unbelievable for their arrest and we've been working with local
Commonwealth Attorney here.
And
it's working out fine.
I mean,
they're admitting their wrongdoing.
But we just,
you know, we have no choice but to sue because when the New York Times reported that there were 12 COVID,
what they basically said in the Financial Times is there were 12 COVID cases on campus.
Well, that was completely false.
They had talked to a doctor who didn't even work for Liberty, who owned a practice in town, and he had described to the reporter, just because he's a nice guy, that, yeah, we've had some upper respiratory colds and allergies and different things, and about 11 or 12 of them.
Well,
he actually gave us the text that he sent to the reporter that said, I have no official role at Liberty University.
I'm just telling you what I've seen at my practice.
But that's not what they printed.
They printed 12 COVID cases at Liberty.
We had none.
The students left May 6th, and we had absolutely zero cases of any student, faculty, or staff on campus.
We had a couple of off-campus cases like bus drivers whose family members had it, but as soon as they learned it, or just one, I shouldn't say family members, but as soon as they learned they had it, they quit working.
They went and got tested.
Everybody who had been around them was quarantined and tested negative.
So we did everything imaginable to protect our students and our campus community.
But yet, Texas Texas Arizona State had 15 positive cases.
They did the same thing we did.
No bad press.
Texas AM, no bad press for doing what we did.
Yeah.
So
why you, Jerry?
I mean, I know the answer, but why you
Well, the same reason I believe, this is my theory, they've spent three years on Russia, then the impeachment, and then lately hyping this thing.
Of course, it's a serious thing, but I think the media has hyped it.
And most doctors will agree with that, way beyond where it should have been hyped.
I think it's because they know what's coming from John Durham.
And I think they've known since election night 2016 when Hillary Clinton came out and I think it was the next day, and she said, this is going to be painful for a long time.
She knew,
I think she meant
that, I think she said that because she knew what they had done, what the Obama Justice Department had done.
And then all the shenanigans they pulled between the election and the inauguration.
And, you know, John Durham, my dad used to say, you never know how long a snake is until you kill it.
And so he's in the process of killing the snake.
and
there's no telling how long that snake's going to be.
My opinion.
I think this is bigger than Watergate ever was.
And
it involves the New York Times and everybody else that aided all of these people.
They're not coming out.
You know they're guilty because now that we have the documents that prove that the people that were on their air were lying because they went to under oath and they said, we've got nothing.
Then they'd go on the air and say, yeah, we're really close.
I can't talk about it, but the next shoe is going to drop.
That they haven't ratted those people out and said, I demand an apology.
We've trusted you as a source.
It shows that
they don't care or they were part of it.
And
I think this thing's going to rain down like fire on their heads.
And I think they've seen that coming for a long time.
So they've been desperately trying to do a preemptive strike against not just Trump, but anybody who supported Trump.
And that happened to include me.
So
I'm fine with it, though.
I don't lose a bit of sleep.
I think the worst thing that could happen is they stop talking about you.
But Dad used to say there's no such thing as bad publicity.
And there's a lot of truth in that.
Yeah.
Jerry, thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
I'm glad we could
clear this up for the people that, you know, maybe the two people that read the New York Times on what was happening at Liberty University.
But thanks for your leadership.
Appreciate it.
Wow, it would be great to have you back at Liberty sometime soon.
You would recognize the place.
It's great.
Oh, I know.
I keep up with you guys.
I know.
I know.
I'd love to come back anytime, Jerry.
Thank you so much.
Jerry Falwell, president of Liberty University and the co-founder of the Falkirk Center,
which is, we'll get into some other time, is a really, really great thing that they started with
with,
ah, shoot, Kirk from
SAS, Stu.
Anyway, the guy who just I can't really, okay,
it'll come to me.
Charlie Kirk.
Thank you, Sarah.
Charlie Kirk.
All right.
Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour, boy.
You know, I sometimes listen to this show as we're doing it and I think, my God, he's a good broadcaster.
I mean, is there anybody that has ever been this good on the radio?
And you just witnessed one of those times.
All right.
Let me tell you about the best lawnmower that you can acquire.
And you should consider a lawnmower an investment.
It's an investment in your time.
It's
an investment if you buy right.
It'll be one that, honestly, you could pass this lawnmower on to your children.
It's that good and it's built to last.
It will be the last lawnmower you will ever buy.
The reason why I say it's an investment in your time is because it will also cut your lawnmowering time in about half, which is dramatic.
Imagine this weekend going out to mow the lawn and you spend half the time.
It's hustler turf.
I want you to check them out.
Go check all the other lawnmowers out, but these are the people that
came up up with a zero-turn lawnmower and perfected it.
It's maneuverable.
It's built like a tank, cuts your mowing time in half while still producing a really beautiful lawn cutting.
If you haven't set on one, you need to.
They have 1,400 nationwide hustler dealers.
Check everybody else out and then go to a hustler dealer or check them out online.
You will thank me for it.
Get an extra year of extended warranty coverage by going to hustlerturf.com right now and click on the radio offer button at the top of the right-hand corner.
Enter my name back in the box for the details about the warranty offer.
But I think it's like a six-year warranty.

This is the Glenbeck program.
This is the Glenbeck program.
I
want to talk to you you
quickly here.
We're going to get into this more next week when we talk a little bit about George Soros and some of the different things that are happening around the country and around the world.
Progressives are doing
like-minded things all around the world, and they're saying it's because of coronavirus, but it's not about coronavirus.
Now, Joe Biden has just
developed these unity task forces,
and he's put a lot of radicals.
You probably heard that AOC is going to be on his Green New Deal task force.
But the task forces, according to Joe Biden, will, quote, essentially, it will be essential to identify ways to build on progress and not simply turn the clock back to a time before Donald Trump, but transform our country.
I've had enough of transforming our country, quite honestly.
I've had enough.
He is now partnering, or I should say his campaign.
He's just, they just want him to win.
And so they're partnering now with the uber, uber, uber, uber left.
One of the members of the climate change committee is the co-founder of the Sunrise Movement, which was instrumental in writing and promoting the Green New Deal for AOC.
In an article, this woman who was the co-founder, she said, when we say we have 10 years to completely transform our society and economy to stop climate change, we mean it.
We can't afford another four years of Donald Trump pushing us backward.
We believe in our movement's ability to begin winning a Green New Deal under President Biden.
Remember, in that Green New Deal, we talk about it in my book,
Arguing with Socialists, that Green New Deal is nothing but an end to capitalism.
Also on his list for Joe Biden is Derek Hamilton.
He helped Bernie craft the federal jobs guarantee proposal.
That's a guaranteed job for every American.
That is, that's in the Soviet Constitution, not in any free constitution.
And then Stephanie Kelton, the most notable supporter of the modern monetary theory.
This is the woman who is really, really just
promoting the snot out of this.
She was Bernie Sanders' senior economic advisor.
So now we have modern monetary theory, which again is gobbledygook.
It does not work.
And it means printing unlimited amounts of money and total control of the economy by the federal government.
Total control.
Your pricing control, everything.
That's where we're headed in this election.
And it has never been more important that we stay connected.
The things that are already happening
all over Facebook and Google and YouTube, because of the coronavirus, it has gotten much, much worse.
And we need to stay connected.
I need next week, I'm going to do a show where I want you to call in and just talk to me.
And I want to see what you're seeing and hear what you're hearing.
I need to stay in touch with you
as much as I want you to stay in touch with me.
I need to hear your voice.
And we're going to do that next week, maybe, maybe even Monday or Tuesday.
But
I also need you to stay in touch with us.
If you are,
I see the results of our social media and
I get to a fraction of the people who have signed up to get my stuff on YouTube or Facebook or
Instagram.
I mean, a fraction, a very small fraction of the audience sees the stuff that I post.
They are taking their algorithms and it's only going to get worse.
We have to have a direct line of communication between us.
This is the time that I started the Blaze for.
I said there's got to be a way that we can have direct communication and we can have all the voices that you want and trust
and put them in a place to where there's nobody between us, direct communication.
That's Blaze TV.
And today is the last day you can get that $30 discount.
We can't keep that up forever.
