Martha listens to her favorite band all the time.
In the car,
gym,
even sleeping.
So when they finally went on tour, Martha bundled her flight and hotel on Expedia to see them live.
She saved so much, she got a seat close enough to actually see and hear them.
Sort of.
You were made to scream from the front row.
We were made to quietly save you more.
Expedia, made to travel.
Savings vary and subject to availability, flight inclusive packages are at all protected.
Let me tell you a little bit about Patriot Mobile.
When your trust in a business has been abused,
you want to stop and you want to stop using that business.
For instance, if you found out that your phone company was actually funding things you vehemently disagree with, would you still pay the bill?
That's exactly what's happening with big carriers.
They're funneling money into radical agendas and supporting abortion on demand, pushing gender ideology back into schools, backing groups that actively oppose everything that you believe in.
Patriot Mobile is the only Christian conservative wireless provider in America, and they are flipping the script.
Instead of funding the left's cultural war, Patriot Mobile supporters
are actively involved with pro-life organizations,
veterans, first responders, and values that actually reflect yours.
And here's the best part.
They use the same cell towers as the big guys.
So you get the nationwide coverage, the excellent service, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your money isn't working against you.
Switching is easy.
It's patriotmobile.com slash Beck.

Hello, America.
You know we've been fighting every single day.
We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
But to keep this fight going, we need you.
Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
Give us five stars and leave a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
This isn't a podcast.
This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it.
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
Rate, review, share.
Together, we'll make a difference.
And thanks for standing with us.
Now let's get to work.
Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.
Stand your ground when times get dark.
Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is
the Glenbeck Program.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.
I'm glad to be back in the saddle.
We have a lot to discuss.
An important history lesson for Tim Kaine, who
apparently, without knowing it, has become an Islamic cleric.
And he just gave his testimony from the Mount on Friday.
We'll give you the story on that.
Also, the story that the legacy media is trying their hardest to keep from you.
And the new police patch in Arabic from Dearborn Heights.
What does this tell us?
And what does history tell us about that patch?
We'll get there in just a second.
First, let me talk to you about Relief Factor.
You know, your body is a storybook, and for some of us, too many pages contain memories of pain.
Page 31, slipped off the ladder.
Page 54, that old football injury.
Page 74, wrenched back lifting the couch for Thanksgiving.
The longer you live, the more chapters you accumulate.
And if you're not careful, pain becomes the plot instead of the side story.
Relief Factor is there, and it'll help you rewrite the whole book.
It is a daily supplement developed by doctors and it's designed to tackle the root causes of pain, not just the symptoms.
That means you can actually start feeling better, not just masking the hurting.
And it's not some wacky internet cure.
Millions of people have tried Relief Factor, including me, and the results speak for themselves.
It is a real solution backed by science and built for real life with the kinds of, you know, with the kind of bills and grandkid deadlines and dogs who still need to be walked.

Oh, man.
I don't.
Well, let's say hi to Jason, who is filling in for Stu today.
And I don't even know where
should I start.
Should I start with Tim Kane, or should we start with
the shooting or the stabbing on the train in
Jason.
There was so much going on.
I was like, where is Glenn going to start this morning?
And then Senator Tim Kaine loses track.
Yeah, so let's start there.
The statement that our rights do not come from our laws and our government is extremely troubling, Tim Kaine said.
Most Americans understand the concept of natural rights as stated in the Declaration of Independence.
The notion that our rights don't come from laws and don't come from government, but come from the creator, that's what the Iranian government believes.
That's a theocratic regime that bases its rule on Sharia law and targets Sunnis, Jews, Christians, and other religious minorities.
They do it because they believe they understand what natural rights are.
They're from their creator.
So the statement that our rights do not come from our laws and our government is extremely troubling.
This guy is a moron, an absolute moron.
And I say that with love in my heart for all morons.
But I mean,
it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out.
So Senator Kane, let me explain this to you because
I believe you're not a moron.
Maybe you are, but I believe you're not a moron.
I believe you know the difference here.
But it is your
radical
theology and Marxism that makes you twist this because this is exactly what the Soviet Union did.
So this is a distinction that is so fundamental that if we confuse it, we lose the American dream, the American experiment.
So let me explain.
In Iran, under Sharia law, leaders do say that all rights come from God.
Now, that sounds on the surface exactly like what Thomas Jefferson said in the Declaration of Independence.
We are endowed by our Creator, but it is not the same thing at all.
In Iran, the rights are clarified and defined through clerics.
They are the only ones with the authority to interpret divine law.
So they will tell you, yeah, you have rights.
But I mean, they have to be consistent with our understanding of God's commands.
Well, now that can change.
Now, wait a minute.
Now we've inserted somebody between you and God.
Your speech, it is protected unless it contradicts Islam or what the clerics say about Islam.
Your party, your property, you have a right to property so long as the state's jurists agree that it serves the religious order.
Otherwise, you don't have that right.
Your life, it's secure unless you break any of the subscribed codes.
Rights exist in Iran.
They're just conditional.
They're granted through obedience.
They're not inherent to your humanity.
Man is endowed by their creator.
We own the rights.
This is what the word inalienable means.
No one can take them from us.
No government, no cleric, no priest, no pastor, no one can take away my rights.
That's not the same in Iran.
It is the exact opposite.
In fact, you don't have to go to Iran to find this.
In the constitutions
of the Soviet Union, so let me go to Marxism.
Marxism is a godless society, right?
So how could you possibly say you have rights?
Well, these rights were granted by the government.
And it's exactly the same thing as the Iranian rights.
In the Soviet Union, according to their multiple constitutions, you had a right to work.
Every citizen guaranteed employment.
You had a right to rest and leisure and vacation.
You had a right to health care.
You had a right to education, to housing.
You had freedom of speech and press and assembly and association.
You had freedom of conscience or religion.
You had the right to equality.
And you had the right to participate in government.
Now, it is always the fine print because if you are not endowed by your creator with certain unchangeable, inalienable rights,
who is the one making sure that those rights are the proper rights or going to the proper people?
In the Soviet Union, speech and press,
It only was allowed if it didn't contradict the interest of the working people
or didn't contradict the building of socialism.
Criticism of the party was not free speech.
That was treason.
So you don't really have freedom of speech.
Freedom of religion.
It was technically permitted, but only in private and always under surveillance.
So they had to be watching you the whole time.
Open religious expression was treated as anti-Soviet activity.
It was treason.
Work and housing, guaranteed, as long as you obey the system.
If you were a dissident, you found yourself unemployed, blacklisted, sent to a psychiatric hospital, which was also one of the other guaranteed rights.
You had the right to hospital care.
And boy, a lot of people had psychiatric care that were just not psychiatric patients, but just dissidents that said, I have have rights that come from God.
Voting.
You could vote, but only for the Communist Party's approved candidates, exactly the same as they are in Iran.
You can vote, but you only get to vote on who the party, who the clerics say you can vote for.
It's almost like the Democratic Party here in America.
Oh, you can vote for Bernie Sanders until we say you're not going to vote for Bernie Sanders.
You can vote for whomever you want.
You're going to vote for Joe Biden.
Well, unless the party decides to replace her in the middle of the night without your consent, and then you can vote.
Of course, you can vote in a free market system.
You can just vote for Kamala Harris.
That is the Soviet and Iranian system.
Do you understand that, Tim?
Do you get that yet?
Rights exist, but they're conditional, granted through obedience.
When Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1776 that our rights come from the laws of nature and nature's God,
they didn't choose that lightly.
He knew exactly what he was saying.
He deliberately wove together biblical conviction along with enlightenment and reason.
Nature's God.
Okay, that's enlightenment.
And the laws of nature, that's the enlightenment.
And nature's God.
That's the Bible.
Put them together.
And
the point was this.
Every person, just because you were born, just because you were human, you have rights that no government, no priest, no king, no majority can ever, ever, ever take away.
Unalienable rights.
They don't hinge on obedience.
They don't hinge on clerics.
They don't come with exceptions carved out by Parliament or Congress.
They belong to you
because you were created by God.
And here's another thing you don't have in any other nation.
Governments are instituted among men, Jefferson wrote,
to secure those rights, not to define them, not to grant them, and certainly not to ration them out depending on religious doctrine.
That's That's the crucial distinction here, Senator.
Iran has rights that come from God but are filtered through the state and its religious authorities.
They empower the rulers.
In America, the rights come from God and are secured by reason and natural law.
What you're preaching, sir, is Sharia law.
What you're calling for is Sharia law.
Now, you don't want to say it's Sharia law because, well, you don't believe in God most likely.
Although that God probably is very tolerable to you, you're in Minnesota.
You would rather just look at it from the Soviet point of view.
This is why our declaration says whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it.
We empower the people, not the clerics, the people.
Our understanding of natural rights that come from God restrain the rule, the rulers, not the opposite.
No Ayatollah in Iran is going to tell you that you have the right to abolish the clerics rule.
Nobody.
Nobody in the Soviet Union or any Marxist utopia is ever going to say you have the right to abolish it.
But Jefferson did, Madison did, Washington did, Franklin did.
Because they understood that God endowed the individual, not the government, with rights.
And this is not a little quibble.
It's not a theological quibble here.
This is the entire ballgame.
If we get this one wrong, you end up with tyranny cloaked in piety.
You have somebody saying,
I'm the only one that cares about your rights, and I'll make sure that your rights are never violated.
Really?
Then take an oath and actually mean it, that you will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all foreign and domestic
threats.
If you see this difference between the Soviet Union, their Constitution, and the clerics in Iran, if you see the difference, you understand why America was and must remain the single greatest experiment in human liberty the world has ever known.
Tim,
I'll go over it later for you.
I'll try to speak slower for you.
Except I don't think, again, it's an intelligence problem.
It is an ideological problem with you.
You don't care to hear the truth.
In fact, it seems no one on the left actually cares about the truth.
And I'll give you the perfect example of that in 60 seconds.
First,
Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Every time a first responder or service member doesn't come home, the headline lasts a day, but the consequences last a lifetime.
Mortgages don't stop.
Medical bills don't pay themselves.
The kids still need to be fed.
The home still needs to be maintained, and life just keeps moving,
even when it feels absolutely impossible.
Tunnel to Towers was built for that gap, the place between tragedy and stability.
When a hero falls in the line of duty, they pay off the family's mortgage.
When a veteran comes home permanently injured, they build a custom home for the family.
It's a smart home, mortgage-free.
Thanks to you, tunnel to towers.
Tunnel to towers.
When a nation says thank you for your service, tunnel to towers, make sure that it actually means something.
And it's not a handout.
It's a follow-through on promises.
It's backing up our words with action.
It's taking care of people who took care of us.
Tunnel to towers.
Support them now because we owe the people who have put it all on the line more than just our gratitude.
Never forget the sacrifices made for our country by our country's greatest heroes.
You can donate $11 a month at tunnel to towers at t2t.org.
That's what funds all of this.
It's tthenumber2t.org.

So, the other thing that the press doesn't want you to think about, and the left doesn't want you to think about, is a murder, a brutal, brutal murder of the 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee.
This story is almost a week old now.
The video has come out, and good luck trying to find it.
We have the video we could play here if you happen to be watching the blaze.
Here is the
video.
I'm not seeing it anywhere.
It's the killer standing up and
stabbing her and then walking away
and
the blood dripping off the knife.
And nobody doing anything about it.
I don't know if they even saw it.
Now, how did she get to the platform?
Because remember, they didn't know if it happened on the train or the platform at first.
How did she get to the platform?
How is this not known?
This is a story you're not supposed to hear.
23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, her name was Irina Zarutska.
She got onto a train in North Carolina.
She had fled her homeland because of war.
She was seeking the safety and the freedom and the promise that America still stood for something good.
She never made it off that train alive
because of the guy in the red hoodie.
He's a repeat offender, a man with a long wrap sheet.
He stabbed her in the throat and left her to die.
Her name should be everywhere.
Her story, when you see it, it is like watching a horror film.
It is extraordinarily evil and disturbing.
Yet outside of local coverage, you're not seeing this anywhere.
There's no wall-to-wall coverage, no breathless reporting, no endless panels on this.
AP stories have exactly zero, zero.
AP has done zero stories.
PBS, zero.
New York Times, zero.
NPR, zero.
Wall Street Journal, zero.
BBC, zero.
CNN, one as of this morning.
Washington Post, zero.
Now let's think about this.
Why is that happening?
Because Irina's story does not fit the narrative.
I want you to think about this.
Go back to 2020, George Floyd's death.
Tragic, tragic.
absolutely
generated tens of thousands of articles.
Cities were burned, corporations bent the knee, media made it the moral center of the universe.
Was that tragic?
Was that awful?
Yes.
Was that something we shouldn't
that shouldn't happen in America?
Yes.
But why is this one completely invisible
to
the legacy media?
A young woman, an immigrant, a refugee, brutally loses her life on American soil.
Career criminal.
Silence.
The reason is, and you know this, is because it brings up and makes you ask all of the wrong questions.
It shines a spotlight on a justice system that keeps turning violent men loose on the streets over and over again.
It reveals the double standard that screams louder than words that some lives are politically useful, others are disposable.
And what does it say about us?
What does it say about America?
If our media only covers deaths that advance a narrative, then truth itself has become partisan.
Let me give you the headline
from what was the media, Axios.
Okay, this just came out today.
Axios, first story on it.
Here's the headline.
Stabbing video fuels MAGA's crime message.
They have finally reported on this story.
A week late, but they've made it into politics.
You need to know this story because it is bigger than one story.
We cannot live in a nation where media gatekeepers decide which tragedies are worthy of your empathy, which families get your prayers, and which stories just vanish in the dark.
Every life matters in America.
Remember her name, Irina Zarutska, because the truth deserves to be louder than lies, and justice cannot depend on politics.
This is Glenn Beck.
So if somebody breaks into your house, What is your plan?
You call the police, grab the baseball bat.
That's my favorite English gruel.
Hide in the closet and hope for the best.
Here's an idea.
Don't let them into your house to begin with.
Easier said than done, you think.
Simply Safe is not just a burglar alarm.
It is a fully integrated home security system designed to prevent crime from happening in the first place.
Because by the time somebody is already inside, it's too late for your peace of mind.
Now you're just managing the damage.
burglars don't stick around they're in and they're out long before the traditional systems can even catch up with anything but simply safe works differently it has sensors it has cameras and 24-7 monitoring built to detect trouble before it begins and with glass break alerts smart motion tracking and live video verification that can alert authorities immediately Criminals see a house with a Simply Safe sign in front, cameras and detection tech visible from the street, and they just skip it because they don't like the obstacle.
It's simply safe.

What Tim Kaine was talking about last week with our Declaration of Independence is so crucial.
It's why I started the program with it.
If we don't have this, we don't have anything.
And you have to understand that our founders came from a place to where they hated government, but they knew they needed some government.
And they were trying to put together a system that made men free.
This is a lens that we can't even relate to anymore because now governments and politicians all over the world, their idea of creating laws is how do they gain more power?
How can they keep you in a box more?
It was the opposite of what our founders believed.
And our founders believed, look, if everybody just understands that everybody has a right to say and do anything, you know, do the things they do, and they understand civics, that with those rights come responsibilities, then we're going to be fine.
But if they don't understand that, if they're not a moral society that understands moral sentiments, if they don't, if they, if they're just out for greed, they're just out for themselves, and the whole system breaks down.
And, and that's what we, that's what we have.
I, if I have time, I want to tell you some of the things that I, I noticed on vacation.
Um, you know, I went by, I was in New York, and I went by the,
what was it, the
Center for Ethical
Society or something like that and it's it was in a building that had to have been built around the turn of the century so it had to be in a progressive thing and it had a school next to it and everything else and I thought I wonder what the ethics are now coming out of the ethical society I wonder what those ethics are because ethics Ethics are just changing.
Everything is just changing under our feet because we no longer respect the ethics and the constitutional norms that created this country.
And
let me take you to Dearborn, Michigan.
So last week we find out that
an institution, the police department, an institution sworn to uphold the Constitution, has introduced a uniform patch with Arabic script for the very first time.
And it just says in Arabic, police department, Dearborn Police Department.
That's all it says.
And it's just to better connect with the population of Muslim population there in Dearborn, Michigan.
And it sounds harmless.
I mean, you could make that into no big deal.
It's just, you know, it's Dearborn Police.
What is your problem?
Well, it's not just a small gesture of outreach.
It is a signal and signals matter.
For more than two centuries, America has been an experiment,
and we used to describe it as a melting pot.
You could come here from any land, speak any language, any faith, and we could come here.
And if you believed in the laws and the Constitution of America, if you believed in that and you upheld those things, we could melt together and we could create something even greater than you could even imagine.
We didn't erase cultures.
We elevate what unites us instead of elevating what divides us.
And we don't bend our civic institutions to mirror any kind of tribal or religious identities.
We don't create parallel systems of justice or identity.
Now, I want you to think about history.
No immigrant group, none, ever, no religion ever had law enforcement tailor itself to them.
Never.
Catholics came to this country by the millions.
What did they face?
They were mocked.
They were ridiculed.
They were accused of being agents of the Pope.
Churches were burned.
Signs that read no Irish allowed.
Yet the Catholic Church didn't demand, you know, a crucifix on the police badge.
They didn't demand government offices display papal seals.
That would have been completely rejected by everybody.
What they did is they fought, they endured, and over generations they proved that they could be both Catholic, fully Catholic, and fully American.
And the same is true with the Mormons.
Look what the Mormons have faced.
They have faced the harshest prosecution or persecution of all.
In Missouri, Governor Lilburn Boggs signed an actual extermination order ordering Mormons to be driven from the state or killed.
It was legal for you to kill a Mormon because they were Mormon.
That's the only government order like it in our history.
They were beaten, they were tarred and feathered, their homes were torched, their leadership was murdered, they fled west outside of America proper to carve out a home in the wilderness and just be left alone in the mountains.
And what happened after they got there?
The U.S.
Army marched into Utah convinced the Mormons were plotting a rebellion against the United States, but they weren't.
In fact, they revered the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence more than their persecutors even did.
For years,
the Mormon church used to teach the founding documents alongside the scripture.
It's what tethered that religion,
I believe, to sanity and not being pulled in every different direction.
They've stopped teaching the founding documents, and I think it's a problem myself, but who am I to say?
But Mormons are the most patriotic of any religion in America.
Check it.
Why?
They didn't bend America to their faith.
They bound their faith to America.
Now, compare that and the Catholics and everything else, every other religious group that has ever come in.
Now, compare that to what's happening in Dearborn, Michigan.
Week after week, and we have them on tape, week after week from the pulpits of the local mosque, the Imams openly declare their goal not to join the American project, but to replace it, not to preserve the Constitution, but to subvert it.
They preach the supremacy of Sharia law over American law.
And now the police department, a symbol of our secular Constitution order,
decides they want to appeal to that group?
To wear that identity on its uniform, that's not inclusion.
That's not assimilation.
That's not the melting pot.
It's the opposite.
It's Balkanization at its kindest.
It is the state bending towards the demand of a religious political ideology that seeks to replace our American civilization.
Let me be really super clear on this.
This cannot stand.
Our history shows us the way.
Every faith, every culture, every group that has come to America has been tested and put through the ringer.
Quite honestly,
I don't like it,
but it has worked out for the best of all of us
because we have been forced to prove, will we embrace the Constitution or will we try to replace it?
Are we coming over here and we're just going to live like Irishmen and live by the Irish laws?
Or are we going to bend to the Constitution of our new country?
Catholics embraced it, Jews embraced it, Mormons embraced it, Baptists have embraced it, millions of immigrants from every corner on the globe have embraced it, and that's why we are who we are.
If Dearborn or any other American city decides that they're going to start carving out exceptions to make government institutions bear the mark of the religion that seeks to dominate rather than integrate, we are not just forgetting our history, we are part of the unmaking of America.
Because in the end, the melting pot isn't about a cheese fondue, it's not about food, it's not about festivals, it's about allegiance:
allegiance to one nation under God, not Sharia, not under Rome, not under Salt Lake City, under the Constitution.
That's what the flag represents.
And if we lose this, we lose America.
Dearborn must not allow.
They're saying this is, the mayor came out on Friday and said, well, this is only voluntary.
I mean, you could have the patch or not.
We're not going to make it.
We're not going to make it required.
You should not make it available.
You should not make it available.
I'm a collector of history.
I have yet to see
from
the Pennsylvania-Dutch region
the police badges that were in German.
I grew up in Seattle, in the Pacific Northwest, where there's a lot of Asians.
I have yet to see the police badge that is in Chinese.
It doesn't happen.
We don't do it.
Some may say
that this is the unmaking of America.
That's where I'd like to fall.
But it's dangerously close
to treason.
Back in a minute.
September is National Preparedness Month, which means it is the perfect time to stop stop assuming you're ready for an emergency and start knowing you are.
If the power went out tonight, not for an hour, but let's say for several days, what would you do?
If the grocery store shelves went suddenly empty, if the ATM stopped working, if the tap went dry, how long could you take care of your family?
Most people don't know, and honestly, most people don't want to even think about it.
And that's why they're unprepared.
But the people at MyPatriot Supply are making it easier than ever to get ready, and this month they're going big.
To celebrate National Preparedness Month, they've just launched their Preparedness Month mega kit.
It includes a full year's worth of emergency food, a water filtration system that can purify nearly any source, a solar backup power unit, survival tools, and a lot more.
September isn't going to last forever, and neither will this offer.
Here's the best part: if you go to mypatriotsupply.com/slash Glenn, you can get 90 preparedness essentials totaling over $1,500 absolutely free.
You just head to mypatriotsupply.com/slash Glenn for full details.
That's mypatriotsupply.com/slash Glenn.
Can't believe he used to be a top 40 disc jockey, but anyway,
we still love him.
Glenn Beck will be right back.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Jason Buttrill, our chief researcher, is with us today, filling in for a stew.
Hello, Jason.
Hello, Glenn.
That story you were just telling is absolutely insane.
The Dearborn story.
The Dearborn story.
Especially when you think about where this is leading, because it is all becoming so very, very obvious.
It's leading right directly to France and England
and every other place.
I mean, this is the,
and they're saying it.
We have played it on the air over and over again.
They have said it from the mosques in Dearborn.
They are listening to Iran, to the mullahs and the clerics in Iran.
We are the great Satan and they are here to subvert us and
bring Sharia law to America.
Yeah.
And I mean, this is easily a month-long conversation that you just summarized up in like 20 minutes.
It's absolutely nuts.
Because when you look at it, modern leftism does not make any sense.
Everyone says it.
How do you have LGBTQ groups on one side marching alongside the Islamists and the other?
This makes no sense.
And it makes perfect sense if you're sitting within the halls of power.
Because modern leftism has evolved from this workers of the world unite.
You know, we are all united to,
well, we're united still, but the only thing that unites us is that we're all being oppressed.
But, you know, depending on what ethnic group you're in or depending on what gender you are or whatever.
So we're all separate in our little communities.
And the only thing that drives us forward is how, you know, how
our grievances are with one another.
That's it.
Now, where does that lead?
Where does that come?
Like, if you have groups that think they're being oppressed nonstop, what happens eventually?
They eventually become at war with one another.
Well, they have to.
I mean, there was a story out of Canada, I think, where there was a parade going on, two parades going on.
One was an Islamic-Palestinian parade and one was an LGBTQ parade.
Well, one side would not share the town with the other.
I wonder.
Yeah, I wonder which side that was.
One side said, no, no negotiation.
They're an abomination, and we're not.
Now, the other side, the LGBTQ, they were like no we'll march with you we're for Palestine you don't understand you imbeciles.
You don't understand what they're actually for
yeah and where this is leading I think the perfect example is look at the UK I've been looking at videos lately from people like Russell Brand other personalities that are actually saying the UK is headed towards civil war.
I was like, what the heck is happening?
A lot of protests right now, migration, counter protests, regular protests.
A group called Palestine Action, who
they were fine, I think, before they decided to break into military facilities and to face military equipment like planes.
Then all of a sudden the UK government was like, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Yes, people like this need to be protected and we'll arrest people that are posting memes or what are speaking out against migration.
But now this group has gone too far.
So now this group has gone too far.
So now we're going to designate them terrorist groups.
So far as to where people that were still in this group, this ridiculous group, would wear a shirt that would say like Palestine Palestine action on it, and then they would become arrested just for having a shirt that said Palestine action on it.
Well, free speech means nothing in the UK.
Now, the UK has to not only oppress people that, you know, are putting memes on the internet because they're anti-migration, but they also now have to start oppressing people that are doing free speech on this other side because that is the entire point of the government.
They are the ones that win in the end because they are bringing down the hammer on everyone.
Correct.
So they decide.
They decide how to police everything.
And this goes right back to your Senator Tim Kaine comments.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And it goes to why we have violence in the cities.
It goes to North Carolina.
You have to have the disruption and the disorder and the chaos.
You have to have that.
That way, we have to have more laws.
Yep.
You know, just enforce the laws that we have.
That That is the answer.
Nope, not to the left, it's not.
We need new and improved laws, more enlightened laws.
It's a ruse, and it is the unmaking of America.
This is Glenn Beck.
Used to be Americans,
you know, cared about where everything came from.
You know, our cars, our clothes, our coffee, our produce, especially for meat.
If it was going on the dinner table, it better be American meat, right?
But somewhere along the line, we got lazy, distracted.
We stopped checking labels and stopped asking questions about those labels.
And while we weren't paying attention, the meat industry moved to imports right underneath our noses.
4 billion pounds of meat imported into the U.S.
just last year.
Much of it can still be labeled product of USA.
Why?
Because of loopholes.
Good Ranchers is taking a stand against that kind of deception.
They work exclusively with American farms and they deliver 100% American beef and chicken and pork right to your door.

Welcome to the table.
Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.
I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.
He's going the distance.
He was the highest paid TV star of all time.
When it started to change, it was quick.
He kept saying, no, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.
Now.
Charlie's sober.
He's going to tell you the truth.
How do I present this with a class?
I think we're past that, Charlie.
We're past that, yeah.
Somebody call action.
Yeah.
Aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.
Down the road where shadows hide, fill the dark on every side.
Stand your ground when times get tight.
Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is
the Glenbeck program.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glen Beck program.
We have a lot to talk about.
I'm going to share some really
shocking results of a new poll
that you have not heard before.
They're going to be announced here in just a second.
And we're going to take you through five or six of the questions today and five or six of the questions tomorrow that were answered because there's a lot to feast on here.
There is some really disturbing stuff in this latest poll.
We'll give it to you here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about Real Estate Agents I Trust.
Moving is really, really hard, even under ideal conditions.
Most of the time, you're not moving under ideal conditions.
You're moving because you got a new job, you lost the old one, your family is growing, the neighborhood changed, or maybe you just did.
It's a big transition, emotional, financial, logistical.
So why would you add more stress by picking a random agent off the billboard?
Realestateagents I trust.com.
It's not a referral mill.
It's a network of vetted, experienced agents who actually know how to navigate real-world problems, not just open houses and buzzwords.
Every agent, every agent in the network has been carefully selected for a track record of success.
And these are the people who go above and beyond.
People who return the calls, who understand the timing, the tension, and a thousand little details that just make everything just a nightmare if it doesn't work.
You're going to work with an agent from this network.
You're not just getting a license name.
You're getting an ally, somebody who really gets it.
It's real estate agents I trust because who you matter, who you work with really matters.

Justin Haskins, he is the president of our republic, stoppingsocialism.com.
He's the editor-in-chief and also a co-author of several books with me.
Welcome to the program, Justin.
How are you?
I'm doing well, Blen.
How are you?
Well, I was better until you contacted me on vacation and sent me this disturbing poll.
I'm in bed at night and I'm reading this and I'm like, oh, what?
My wife's like, I told you not to check your email.
And I'm like, I didn't know Jason, Justin, was going to write to me.
Justin,
tell me, first of all, before we get into it, how secure is the
sample size on this poll?
It's a very good sample size, 1,200 people nationally, only 18 to 39-year-olds.
And we did that deliberately so that we could get a sample size large enough so we could pull out valid responses just from younger people.
So the whole purpose of this poll is to find out what younger people, 18 to 39, think, voters only, and people who say that they're likely to vote.
So we're not talking about just people out in the public.
We're not talking about registered voters.
We're talking about people who are registered to vote and say they're likely to vote.
vote.
So let's go over some of the things that you have already released to the press, and that is in the survey, 18, 39-year-old likely voters.
The Trump approval rating is a lot higher than you thought it would be, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
48%
had a positive approval rating of Donald Trump, which for young people is very high.
So that's the good news.
That's the only good news we're going to talk about.
We might have to come back to that first question several times.
Do you believe the United States is a fundamentally good, evil, or morally mixed country?
Yep, this one is not too bad.
It's not great, but fundamentally good was 28%,
which is low, but mixed was 50%.
And fundamentally evil was 17%.
And I think mixed at 50% is not an unreasonable, crazy response.
I can see why all sorts of people might choose that.
So I don't think there's anything terrible here.
It depends on what you mean by mixed.
Fundamentally good at 28%, it's a little low.
Fundamentally evil at 17% is a little disturbing, but
it's not insane.
The insane stuff comes a little bit later.
Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Major industries,
talk about the crazy stuff coming later.
Here it is.
Major industries like healthcare, energy, and big tech should be nationalized and give more control and equity to the people.
Yeah, this was, this was the, really, I mean, this one floored me.
If you look at strongly agree, somewhat agree for that statement you just read, it's over 75% of young people, including...
including the vast majority of Republicans, young Republicans, and people who identify as conservatives.
It was pretty similar, in fact, how young Republicans responded compared to liberals and independents and Democrats.
They all pretty much agreed that, yes, the government, the federal government, should be nationalizing whole industries to make things more equitable for people.
As the guy who is the
chief editor-in-chief of Stopping Socialism, what's the problem with nationalizing energy and healthcare?
What happens typically?
Well, usually there's blood in the streets when
you do too much of that.
You know, socialism, communism have been spectacularly horrible throughout the course of human history across every society, culture, religion.
It doesn't matter when or what kind of technological advancements you have.
The more you collectivize a society, the more authoritarian that society gets, the less you have individual freedom, and the worse the economy usually is for regular people.
So it's been a catastrophe across the board.
Everyone listening to this audience probably knows that.
And so the idea that you would have three quarters of young voters, so remember these people are going to be the primary voters in 10 to 20 years,
saying, yeah, you know what, we should be nationalizing whole industries, whole industries,
is so disturbing.
And I don't think that conservatives
understand how deeply rooted some of these ideas are with younger people.
And I will tell you, I think some conservatives are walking a very dangerous line and
coming up with a little mix of everything.
And
I think we have to be very careful
on what is being said and who our friends and allies are.
By the way, that number, again, is 39% strongly agree.
37% somewhat agree.
Somewhat disagree, 12%.
Strongly disagree, 5%.
That is disastrous.
Now try this one on.
These are the ones that have been, we got new ones.
These are just a few of the ones that were released late last week.
The next presidential election is in 2028.
Would you like to see a Democratic socialist candidate win the 2028 presidential election?
Yep, 53% said yes.
53%
of all voters said yes.
And the most shocking thing was that 35% of those who we polled, who said they voted for Donald Trump in 2024,
said that they want to see a socialist win in 2028.
And so about a third of Republicans, 35%
of Trump voters, 43% of people who call themselves conservatives.
So even on the right among younger people, there is a large group that want a socialist president in 2028.
And
the reason is
tied into the next few questions.
Okay, so here's question of five.
Among the following options, which best describes your biggest reason you would like to see a Democratic socialist candidate, 31% said housing costs are too high.
12% taxes are too low for corporations.
11% taxes are too low for wealthy individuals.
8% want single-payer health care systems.
17% say the economy unfairly benefits older, wealthier Americans.
15% say the economy unfairly benefits large corporations.
5% for some other reason.
And 2%, unsure.
Now.
Let's get into the new polls that we're breaking today.
Question 6.
How would you describe your current financial situation?
Yeah, only 24% said that they're doing well.
38% said getting by, struggling, 29%.
7% said in crisis.
So if you add up just getting by, struggling, and in crisis, that's 74%
said that they're, you know, just barely getting by at best.
And I think that explains a lot of the other negative responses we've seen so far in this poll and the ones that are going to come pretty soon here.
Seven, which best describes your personal life situation?
You are thriving.
You're doing well with a few ups and downs.
You feel stuck and uncertain.
You feel lonely, disconnected, or emotionally drained.
You're in a crisis and feel most negative about your personal life.
Yeah, about a third said that they feel stuck or uncertain, lonely, or that they're in a crisis.
That's a third of young people say that.
I mean, that's not great.
Only 19% said thriving.
46% said they have ups and downs, which I think is, you know, not too shocking.
But the idea that there's a third of American voters out there who feel like they can't buy a home and they feel like they are lonely and that they're in crisis and that life is just not going well at all for them.
Again, I think
that's driving a lot of the support for socialism where you have 53% of these people saying, yeah, I want a socialist president in 2028.
So socialism is not the answer.
It is a symptom.
It's the symptom of what people are feeling right now.
And
they don't know any other,
nobody's presenting them with anything other than, you know, Republican, Democrat bullcrap.
And socialists are coming at it from a completely new angle, or so the youth think.
It's the oldest and most failed system of all time.
But they're seeing this as a solution that is different than what the party,
you know, the Republican Democrats are offering, even though the Democrats are offering the socialism thing.
Number eight, do you think the American economy is unfair to young people?
62% say yes.
Yeah, and 27% percent said no.
And I think that this really gets at the heart of what the issue is here.
When you look at the reasons, when you look at the detailed data of the poll,
to try to find out if there's an association
between some kind of demographic or response question about people's lives and their support for socialism to see if there's a correlation there between something that's happening and whether someone's a socialist or not.
One of the top correlations, connections is if people think the economy is unfair and if they're having trouble buying a home or they don't think they can buy a home or that's one of their reasons for supporting socialism.
So in other words, there's this fairness issue.
And if it's not even about inequality,
it's not about, well, they have too much wealth.
They feel like the system is, to use a Trump term, rigged.
And throughout the data, that's what we see over and over and over again.
Lots of young people say the economy is rigged.
For older people, for wealthier people, for corporations, it's rigged.
And if they say, yeah, I think it's rigged, you know, then they're more likely to say, yeah, I want a socialist.
And I also think this is why the same group has a relatively high approval rating of Donald Trump.
It's because the reason that a lot of young people like Trump in the poll is that he's not part of the establishment.
And I don't think that they, I think a lot of young people who voted for Trump and who like Trump, they didn't do it because they like free market pro-liberty policies.
And that's not a good thing.
But I don't think that's why they did it.
I think a lot of them voted for Trump and support him because he's not the establishment.
And that's what they don't like.
They want to blow the establishment up.
So Justin, my sample size is my two young adults, my two children.
And they're like talking to me and saying, Dad, I will never be able to own a home, looking at the prices, looking at interest rates.
They're like, I can't even afford to pay rent at an apartment.
And they don't know what to do.
And so they're looking at on like TikTok and they're like, Who's this Mom Don Me guy?
This sounds interesting.
They bring this to me.
They grew up listening to me indoctrinating them their entire lives.
They're looking at other voices like on TikTok.
Are we just not being loud enough?
No, we're not, we're not connecting with them.
We're not.
I feel like they don't feel they're being heard.
And we are speaking to them in red, white, and blue, and that means nothing.
The Statue of Liberty means nothing to them.
Ellis Island means nothing to them.
The flag means nothing to them.
It's all partisan politics.
They're all symbols of really the two parties, you know, and in America they don't relate to at all.
I think that's our biggest problem in not being able to break through.
To your point, question nine: How confident are you that you will own a home at some point in the next 10 years?
29%
say they already own a home, which I found interesting.
That's, I think, a pretty high number for somebody who is
18 to 34 years old.
39.
39.
Yeah, there's a lot of 18 to 30 that I didn't own a home when I was, you know, 30.
Just had gotten a home when I was 30.
But go ahead with the rest of that poll.
Yeah, so then 21% said discouraged, but, you know, somewhat hopeful.
12% said not confident.
10% said you are convinced you would never own a home.
3% not sure.
So if you add up the negative responses, it's around 43% that gave that response.
But I think that again, 29% you already own a home and 25% you're confident you will own a home is
still good.
It just these
other numbers have
discouraged but hopeful you'll own a home.
Who's discouraging that?
And how is that being discouraged?
You know, only 12%, let's see, 12%, 22, 25%
are not sure they're ever going to own a home.
That's too high of a number, but
I don't think that's completely dismal.
Now, a completely dismal
answer to the question, would you support a law that would confiscate America's excess wealth?
including things like second homes, luxury cars, and private boats in order to help young people buy a home for the first time.
Are you for or against that?
We'll give you that number here in just a second.
First,
let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
God promised to make Abraham's descendants a nation, a people set apart.
And for nearly 4,000 years, he has kept that promise through slavery in Egypt, through exile in Babylon, through programs and persecutions and all of it, the unspeakable horrors.
God never walked away.
And today we're living in a time when prophecy is headline news.
The Jewish people have returned home.
It was a land that was barren for centuries.
The desert is blooming.
The language is back, just as the Bible said it would.
It's not a coincidence.
It's not symbolic.
It is God's faithfulness made visible.
And when Christians, as Christians, when we stand together with Israel, we are bearing witness to that faithfulness.
We're declaring that God's promises do not fail, that his word still stands, and his love endures forever.
This is why I partner partner with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
For over 40 years, they have been on the front lines feeding Holocaust survivors and caring for the poor, bringing hope to the forgotten, all in the name of that unbreakable promise.
Let's be unified together in recognizing God's faithfulness by supporting his chosen people.
Learn how you can by going to ifcj.org.
That's ifcj.org.
Back in just a second.
There are some disturbing results.
They get very disturbing going from here on.
We got two of these today and then more tomorrow.
We'll spend more time with you tomorrow, Justin.
But would you support a law that would confiscate Americans' excess wealth, including things like second-home luxury cars and private boats, in order to help young people buy a home for the first time.
Give the results.
Yeah, 25% strongly support that.
30% somewhat support it.
So 55% in total for support.
Only 38%
strongly or somewhat oppose, with just 20% saying strongly opposed.
So the vast majority now is supporting this communistic policy to confiscate people's wealth in order to help people, younger people, buy homes, which is in line with that question we talked about earlier where it said
three quarters of these respondents wanted to nationalize whole industries to make things fairer.
So
it's all about this sense of unfairness that exists.
And they feel like young people feel like the system is rigged, they feel like neither party is on their side, and they want to blow the whole thing up by just taking wealth away from people, nationalizing whole industries and redistributing it all.
And guess what?
That's basically the democratic socialist platform.
So it's not a surprise that that's becoming increasingly more popular with these young people.
And I don't think that free market pro-liberty people are dealing with with it in a real way.
In fact, I think that a lot of us believe, have believed recently that the wind is at our backs and we're actually winning more and more young people over.
And that isn't what's happening, according to the poll results.
It explains why the Democrats have not moved their position off of the socialism stuff, doesn't it?
We keep saying, why?
It's not working with anybody.
It is working.
It is working with people under 39.
18 to 39 year olds are hearing this message and are embracing this message.
More on this tomorrow and what to do about it next.

Keep track right now at glennbeck.com.
This week, we're going to be looking at some more numbers coming out of this poll I just discussed with you.
He just joined us.
These
These poll numbers are not about who's up or down.
It's not about politics or a horse race.
It's about how Americans, especially those under 35 or 39, feel.
And
I think most Americans would be shocked, especially in this audience.
I was.
Almost half of Americans, 48%, approve of Donald Trump.
And yet at the very same time, that same majority also says they want a socialist to win in 2028.
It's not a contradiction.
They did not vote for a conservative.
They voted for a sledgehammer.
It is a cry of confusion if you don't listen to what is actually being said.
It is proof that labels no longer fit.
People don't trust anyone in charge anymore.
And we are headed for real, real trouble.
if we don't understand this.
This is one of the reasons I'm starting the torch in January.
And we are working so hard day and night, it seems, trying to get things ready
and figure this kind of thing out so
we can arm you.
Because,
look, if you're under 35, I hear you.
I really do.
You've played by the rules.
You've studied.
You worked hard.
You had more pressure in school.
If you're like most kids, going to school, the pressure to succeed, succeed, succeed, get A's, get A's, get A's.
Now you're saddled with debt, again, played by the rules, and you look at the system that promised you security and opportunity, and you feel like, well, that was all nothing but a lie.
You're not crazy.
You're not alone.
The housing costs are crushing.
Wages are stagnant.
And yes, the economy does tilt to the very powerful.
It is something that constitutionalists have been fighting against in our own party, even.
And if you're over 45,
you've lived long enough to know when governments promise to fix everything by confiscating and redistributing or tearing down institutions,
it ends in misery.
Look, I mean, look at South America.
Look at Venezuela.
You know, you've seen inflation.
You've seen socialism abroad.
You've seen communism.
You've seen how quickly equity becomes tyranny.
And you know that freedom is fragile.
And so you're sitting on one side going, I know history.
And the other side is like, yeah, but look at the present.
And here's the truth.
Both sides are right.
They're both right.
But both sides have a responsibility.
And I'm not sure
that
Those my age understand the responsibility and those under 39 understand the responsibility.
For those of us over 45,
you can't just lecture.
You can't just lecture.
They're not listening.
They're not hearing it.
And they're tired of it.
We owe the next generation more than nostalgia and lectures.
We owe them mentorship.
We owe them proof that ownership and opportunity is still possible in America.
And that means that those of us who have the opportunity, we need to build businesses that hire.
We need to teach skills that matter.
We need to open doors instead of closing them.
And it means being humble enough to admit where the system failed and bold enough to fix it without burning it down.
This is the key.
This is the key.
This is what the, what was it called, the Great Revolution?
of the 1600s in England was all about.
That's what that revolution taught America 100 years later: was
you can have a revolution without burning the entire institution down to the ground.
I don't know if we believe in that anymore.
I don't think anybody's trying.
They want to burn the system down to the ground.
We owe it to our children to tell them the truth about college.
It will put you in debt.
It will indoctrinate you.
And most likely, in the four years that it's going to take you to learn whatever it is you're learning to prepare for a job,
that job is probably going to be gone or so radically transformed that your education isn't going to matter in four years.
If you're going to learn how to think, that's one thing, but that's not what colleges and universities teach anymore.
And quite honestly, employers see diplomas from Yale and Harvard or elite institutions as proof that they don't want to hire you because you are privileged.
You have lived a privileged life.
You only understand privileged and, you know, and I need my safe space now.
And they're not hiring you.
They're just not hiring you.
We have to help our children see
the value in independent thought.
in independent study, in the value of jobs like plumbers and welders and electricians and trade jobs.
That's for everybody over 45.
Everybody under that,
I want you to know you carry more power than you know.
But power without wisdom is extraordinarily dangerous.
And no one has passed on wisdom to your generation.
Nobody, you're under 30, who's passed wisdom on to you?
How are you even getting that?
Power without wisdom is deadly.
Power without wisdom means you have power without history, none of the lessons of history.
You have slogans, you have dates and names and places that you memorized, and you've probably forgot them and they're slogans.
You have to demand reform, yes.
But you also must have the responsibility, and this must be paramount, that you never surrender freedom for comfort, ever.
don't trade away your birthright of self-government for the false promise of a global overseer or quick redistribution because it doesn't work and in the end all that will matter is that you govern yourself
you cannot lose that because that's once that's taken away that's not empowerment they'll tell you that's empowerment now but it's not it's servitude
so this week i i'm going to be talking talking a lot about this, but
just on the poll results that we showed you a minute ago,
on housing,
we have to unleash zoning reform.
We have to cut the red tape.
Families need to be able to buy a home.
That's freedom in practice.
Cut the red tape.
Allow people to build homes.
in places where they want to live.
Ownership.
Instead of punishing wealth, let's expand small business lending and tax incentives for entrepreneurs under 35.
That will build equity without confiscation.
Incentivize them to start their own businesses.
They get their own business.
They have been doing stuff online almost from birth at this point.
They understand how a small business could work.
I don't know if they've ever put the two and two together yet, but they've already built things.
Both sides.
We need to learn and teach civics.
We need to relearn the Constitution, not as a relic, but as a manual for living.
This can't be some dusty article that you're like, what is that?
Again, we the people, what?
Doesn't really matter.
It does.
This is why we are building the torch.
All of these things are why we're building the torch, but especially this.
We have to reconnect with our inheritance or we don't make it.
We have a responsibility to understand community to mentor somebody younger.
Now, I know this is hard.
I have to tell you, I have offered mentorship to so many people.
So many people.
I will see them and I'll say,
anything I can teach you, you just come and see me.
I will mentor you whatever you need.
They don't take me up on it.
I don't think, except for maybe Stu, maybe Jason, another one, there's a couple of them that have.
But really, nobody has really
challenged me and said, okay, Glenn, I need an hour.
Can you sit down with me for an hour?
Yeah, I have a responsibility to do that.
If you're serious about learning, yes, I'll do that.
But
we have to mentor, but the youth also has to understand,
don't waste my time.
If you're not willing to put in the work, you're not just going to get this through osmosis.
It's going to take years and years of work.
But mentor.
Go find a mentor.
Adopt a classroom.
Start a local project.
Don't wait for Washington to fix what we have to fix on our own streets.
america is not broken it is unfinished it is forever unfinished
each generation is called upon to add another layer of paint or another chapter those over 45 have to hand wisdom with humility Those under 35 have to accept that torch, not to burn the house down, but to light the way forward.
Because freedom itself is the noble purpose.
It's not given by governments.
It's not guaranteed by markets.
It's not preserved by the courts.
It survives only if we, the young and the old, together choose to live it, to teach it, and protect it.
If I could be emperor for a day and I could,
it would actually require me for being God for a day and you really don't want me as a God for a day, it would be really not a good thing.
But
the one thing I would
want is for everybody to put down the bitterness.
Put down your bitterness.
We all have a reason we can be bitter.
Pick up the responsibility.
Pick up the lessons that whatever happened to you in your life are trying to teach you.
Bridge the divide.
It's not going to be saved by anybody except by people like you.
If it's saved, if it's saved at all,
it will be saved by Americans who are
serving something bigger than themselves.
That should be our calling.
That's my hope.
And I think
it's still within our reach.
But it's going to require all of us to think differently.
Choose your thoughts.
Hear me.
Choose your thoughts
and change your life.
Let me tell you about Z-Factor.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
There's a new financial statement out for Elon Omar.
No, not Elon Omar, but AOC.
No, Elon Omar.
Oh, Elon Omar?
Yeah.
It's Elon Omar.
That's even worse.
Elon Omar.
Okay.
So
what does the new financial statement say?
Yeah, so I'm reading this from the New York Post.
It's interesting because
it's the perfect example of modern-day democratic socialism.
Like a lot of the people that vote, that were in that poll would probably agree with a lot of stuff that democratic socialists believe in.
Sure.
But they don't know about, you know, like, let's say the Soviet Union, the history of that, where you had your serfs at the bottom, but then you had the political elite up at the top that were arguing for equality while living in the best mansions Moscow had.
So Elon Omar, her husband,
he has, like any great democratic socialist husband, both a winery and a venture capital firm.
Oh, wow.
That's just what democratic socialists are into, Glenn.
But he's been building towards that for a very long time.
He's been building this over time?
I don't think he's been building on that for a very long time.
In fact, around in 2023,
the
winery
assets were
reported around $15,000 to $50,000.
So not a whole lot of assets.
What is it worth now just a few short years later?
They're having a hard time pinning it down, Glenn.
Somewhere in between $1 million and $5 million.
Wow.
It's only a 12-month growth.
Wow.
Glenn.
That's not a lot.
Wow.
Come on.
That's Nancy Pelosi's husband must have been involved in that.
Right.
They're both equally just that good.
They're just that good.
That's exactly right.
But I mean, that, I mean, but let's talk about the venture capital firm because, I mean, the growth there, nothing.
you you look at 2023 had around about a thousand dollars in assets that's not a lot when you're venture capital right you know and you're funding other organizations or businesses so this latest disclosure that has grown from a thousand dollars in assets to five
to twenty i don't know how you make how you make this uh discrepancy five million to twenty five million somewhere in between there
Wow, you suddenly got a lot of investors interested.
Democratic socialists are just that good.
They are just that good.
It's weird because they hate the free market, and yet they shockingly do so very, very suspiciously well.
It's weird.
Yeah, it is weird.
It is weird.
All right, more in just a second.
This is Glenn Beck.
Let me talk to you about Moxie.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you've got a pest problem, bugs, spiders, whatever, you don't have to learn to live with it.
You're not a tenant in their little insect apartment complex.
You are the homeowner, and it's time to evict some of the squatters.
The truth is, pests don't just show up.
They move in.
They build little tunnels.
They lay eggs.
They invite their cousins.
And if you're seeing one roach, I can guarantee you that's not the only one.
That's where Moxie pest services come in.
They don't just you know, show up and spray, spray some generic stuff, and then leave.
They actually listen to you, they inspect your property, and build a customized plan to target your specific problems on your land.
This
then they stick with you the whole time, coming back regularly to make sure your home stays protected.
They're smart, they're reliable, they have the kind of customer service you wish every company had.
It's Moxie.
I want you to go to moxie.com.
They celebrate 25 years in business.
You get your first pest control service for $25.

Down the road where shadows hide, till the dark on every side.
Stand your ground when times get dark.
Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is
the Glen Beck program.
I just spent 10 days in two
centers of American culture.
And
I'm not sure what I learned yet, but I want to
share with you what I think I learned, what I think I saw.
And
it's surprising to me because the two cultural centers that I
stayed in for vacation, one was New York City and the other one was Vegas.
Oof.
Let me tell you what I learned in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about pre-born.
Since the fall of Roe v.
Wade, over 100 abortion clinics have closed their doors.
Praise God for that.
But what's taken their place isn't less deadly.
Today, the abortion pill makes up more than 60% of all abortions in America, and it is being marketed to young women as private and convenient and safe and easy.
They're not being told the truth.
It's not just ending the pregnancy.
They are taking a life alone at home, traumatized, unsupported.
I mean, it is really bad.
And this is where pre-born steps in.
They're fighting for lives and souls every single day.
Pre-born is rescuing roughly 200 babies every day through love and compassion and the powerful tool of ultrasound.
When a mom sees her baby, everything changes, and the numbers prove it.
Over half of those moms who see that image choose life.
And at that moment,
that's everything.
It cost $28 to provide that moment.
I'm asking you personally, will you join me in this?
Go right now to preborn.com/slash back.
That's preborn.com/slash back, or dial pound250 on your phone.
Say the keyword baby, that's pound250, keyword baby.
Together, we can save lives, one mom and one baby at a time.

So I went on vacation
last week and I had some work that I had to do and I kind of tied vacation into some of the work.
My wife always loves that.
But first it took us to Las Vegas and then we went to New York City where I had to give a speech.
And it was my wife's birthday
and
silently, you know, as all smiles and happy birthday and everything else, I'm cataloging what I'm seeing.
And I'm not sure I've digested all of it yet.
But I watched our culture.
And what I took away from this is
our culture is beyond sick.
It's almost zombie, a zombie culture.
It's moving.
without thinking or without heart.
It's just moving from day to day, paycheck to paycheck, or worse, circus to circus.
And let me start at the circus.
Vegas.
Look, Vegas is, I don't like gambling,
and I love drinking too much.
So it's really not a city that it's, you know, all cut out for me.
And it's always been about cheap thrills.
It's always been gaudy and bright and flashy and everything else.
Cheap thrills is not right the right word because nothing in Vegas is cheap.
You know, long gone are the $5 dinners and the, hey, free show for the gamblers.
And that's all gone.
This is a city where everything now is about the money.
And just looking at the scale of the hotels as I was walking down the street and I'm looking at the scale of things, I'm thinking, if you don't understand that the house always wins just by looking at the scale of this city,
you're the one that's just going to be broke on the floor of the casino because they'll rob you of everything.
The house always wins.
And it has become more and more about the money.
And to me, at least, I think more and more about the flash of everything.
The food seemed to be the only thing that was really real in Vegas.
The food was amazing.
You know, thanks for the four pounds that
I had, I gained.
I took with me.
That didn't stay in.
in Las Vegas.
But after we would eat, we would wash it down with a show.
And that was not a good palate cleanser, if you will.
I've watched the shows and they were soulless, absolutely soulless.
I mean, there's only so many tricks that a Chinese contortionist can do or,
you know, so many yo-yo-like discs that they can throw in the air and catch before you're like, I've seen this, done this.
We went to a show called MJ, the Michael Jackson story.
My wife is a big Michael Jackson fan.
So we went to see MJ.
Woof was that bad.
It was like they took a bad idea and then just said, let's just turn the volume up to 10 and put bright lights on and we can put everybody in spangles.
And you're like, wow, that was really, really bad.
The people on stage, they might as well have been droids, honestly.
And because what I took from that, again, was this city is only about the money.
The house doesn't want to spend any money on any star because they'll have to pay stars more.
So they just, you, can you dance?
Good, you dance and don't stand out.
I mean, nothing was,
nothing was authentic.
Nothing was real.
Nothing was one-on-one.
You know, there was no connection on anything.
And I wondered, has this changed from when Frank and Sammy and Dean,
is that the way it was then?
Because I've seen the old footage, you know, you watch YouTube and you see the old footage and you're like, I mean, they were having fun.
They related to people, you know?
My parents only took one vacation by themselves, left us behind, and it was to Reno.
So not Vegas, but still.
And I wondered.
How did my parents, because they saw Glenn Campbell, how did my parents afford this?
Well, they could afford it because it wasn't like it is now.
Everything, everything, it seems, is like Disney World.
Everything is, how much money can I squeeze out of this person?
You know, the house isn't just trying to take money at the tables.
They are making sure that every square inch is trying to squeeze money out of you all the time.
Then I had to go to New York City.
I had to give a speech for the radio industry.
And,
you know, going from Vegas to New York doesn't improve your mood much.
But
it was my wife's birthday that week.
And so I wanted to make it special for her and do things that she wanted to do.
And invited my kids to join us.
And
we were uptown and downtown.
We were on Fifth Avenue and Times Square and Chelsea in the village and all of that stuff.
And I was just looking for what is real?
Is there anything real?
Not really.
More cultural rot.
However, this rot kind of makes sense in a way because New York City is the home of the progressive movement.
You know, its fingerprints are on all of the buildings and the architecture of the 1900s.
And, you know, the small theaters that are on the side streets that nobody even really notices anymore.
The little plaque that, you know, said, we hosted Margaret Sanger here.
And, you know, all of that nonsense starts here and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Up on, I don't know, Central Park West, there is
this collection of buildings marked the Society
or the Center for Ethical Society.
And it was clearly a progressive building and, you know, from the 1900s.
And I thought, what are the ethics in this place?
It looked looked like a temple.
And then the crime and the sheer number of people out on the streets and just the garbage in the streets.
And it's just gone downhill.
And no one sees each other.
Nobody looks.
Nobody makes eye contact because that
invites trouble or perhaps even worse, a conversation with somebody.
And I saw the same kind of consumerism in New York that I saw in Vegas.
I saw it uptown and you go downtown and you see the same kind of consumerism as you see uptown, except it's packaged differently.
It's the separation between the new
youth and the old, you know, people.
Because the old people, they all go to Fifth Avenue and the young people, they all go to the village because that's where it's real.
You know, what a bunch of garbage.
It is just packaged differently for those under 35 who don't like consumerism, but they still want their Prada bag
you know you go uptown and you'll find that $10,000 purse in a huge glitzy building where just above the door door is a you know a golden logo and a hundred thousand dollar storefront windows and fancy shopping bags announcing to everybody you shopped here
But you go downtown and they don't have those big fancy shopping bags.
They just have plain shopping bags made of recycled paper from stores in old restored buildings that scream uniqueness and non-conformity.
And the logo is very small.
It's not over the door.
It's down on the corner of one of the simple windows that just look into the store with no fancy mannequins because the shoppers there,
sure, they want the same $10,000 purse, but they want to feel better than those people uptown.
It's all garbage.
It's all the same garbage.
It's just packaged differently.
And everybody thinks they're so unique.
And they're being sold the same garbage.
I saw people, it was so distorted, the reality in their vain attempt at beauty.
My gosh, I saw these women who were just
so lost.
And they were surrounded by men who were acting and dressing like women that, I mean, I began to see the images from, you know, the capital city and the hunger games.
That is us now.
Look, go watch that movie.
That's us.
So did I find anything real?
Yeah, strangely, I did.
And it's so strange because what I found real was actually fake.
What I found real, I found on the stage.
I mean, I know that's laughable, but it's true.
We saw a show called The Outsiders.
You might have seen the movie a long time ago.
They made it into a stage show.
It's an amazing movie, and the emotions were real.
Even though I knew they were all fake, they were at least real.
It reflected real life, the struggles that everybody has, you know, the mistakes that we all make and the truth we finally find just when we think it's just about too late.
We find it.
You know, I thought about my life and what I went through as an outsider, as a, you know, 20-something.
I thought about my kids who are outsiders and they're 20 somethings i realized the show is so successful because that tragic adolescence and 20 something years they're not unique that's who we are that is our common story
the outsiders is just today's westside story and westside story was you know the same story of Romeo and Juliet.
It's the same story over and over and over and over again.
But it's authentic and it is true.
The The struggle is true.
The things we're all trying to avoid is the only true thing.
The next night we saw Operation Mince Meet, and I really had to convince my wife on this.
I said, I know it's your birthday week, but Operation Mince Meat, it's one of my favorite stories.
It is a story about World War II and how Ian Fleming and the British convinced Hitler how to move his troops from Sicily to, where, Greece or someplace, because we needed to invade through Sicily.
And it's a great story, but this was a comedy musical.
And I'm like, I don't know.
Well, the producers made, you know,
Hitler look pretty ridiculous.
I wonder how it's going to happen this time.
It was a play of probably 20 characters, and they were all played by six people.
And I could tell you that the laughs were genuine.
I could tell you that if the
show was great, but what stood out to me was what was real.
What was real was the relentless work.
The script was shockingly detailed and extraordinarily accurate.
True to the story, I was blown away by that.
But the raw risk of the talent that stood out on stage, real artists, top of their field, working harder than most people work.
trying to bring these people from the past to life.
And they did it.
And they did it in a shockingly great way.
I mean, it was,
it again was the struggle of an artist just trying to be the best they can.
That's what I found inspiring.
That's what I found.
And you know what?
I found that in a cab driver who was amazing.
He was just trying to be the best he could be.
It wasn't about the ticket price.
It wasn't about the house winning.
It wasn't about trying to fool you into something.
It was about the human magic that can only happen when humans
get together and pour everything into their passion.
We walked by a
bar I had never seen before.
I generally don't go into bars
for good reason.
But we walked by a bar.
I hadn't seen it before.
It was the Ralph Lauren Polo Bar.
And if you know me, I'm a big fan of Ralph Lauren for what he has done.
I think he's the only,
the only company, the
only person that is not afraid of saying America is great.
I mean, he does the best advertising for America of anyone else.
Ralph Lauren, when you see his product, he is America.
He was the U.S.
Open over the weekend.
He's the Olympics.
He is America all the time.
So I walk into this bar and I just want to take a look because I'm a fan of what he has done.
And I looked at this and I said to my wife, look at the lamps he designed.
The lighting, the chairs, the fabrics, everything in this building is his.
He designed this.
It's amazing to me.
You know, people now they just expect they're going to design clothing and open a store and they're going to celebrate how great and unique they really are.
Ralph Lawrence started out by selling ties that he designed and made out of the trunk of his car because no one would buy them.
No store would have him in.
So he just decided, I'll just go out on Fifth Avenue and I'll just start selling ties.
And he sold them out of the trunk of his car.
And now
he's America.
Real life.
I saw it at the Greek diner we had breakfast at.
Not great food, but still owned by the same Greek family, staffed with his sons and daughters.
I wondered how many generations of the family have worked there.
The father, perhaps the grandfather, now, still had his accent.
I spent the week looking over America's medical charts, if you you will, and I found mixed messages.
I found things that were real in places I didn't expect.
I found the truth,
and I found them in people just being themselves.
That's where the magic happens, and that's when America is at her best.
All right, let me tell you about PragerU.
I care deeply about preserving American history.
History means a lot to me, even more more so, fighting for what is right, even when it's hard.
We have, at Mercury One, I have, you know, poured a lot of what I make into preserving American history.
And by preserving American history, we hope to be able to teach it to other generations.
And Prager U is doing something extraordinary right now.
They're preserving American history in digital form.
Prager U reaches millions of people every single day, especially young people, and they're changing minds at scale.
And I've seen it.
I've talked to the kids.
It is working.
My foundation, Mercury One, has already donated.
And I would like to ask you to help join the Prager U family.
It's a non-profit.
Everything they stand for, everything they fight for, I think is what you believe in.
And now until September 19th, this audience only, Prager U is extending a triple match campaign.
If you give $1, it's going to be worth $3.
This is the best time to support PragerU right now.
Special opportunity.
Every dollar you donate will be tripled until September 19th.
Triple matching.
Take advantage of it right now.
Go to PragerU.com.
That's PragerU.com.
10 seconds and back to the show.
It's good to be back.
It's good to be back into my little small town in
Idaho of 450 people where things are real every day because they have to be real every day.
But I was really
convinced more than ever that New York City is going to be a socialist city.
There's just no way out of it.
These people are not living in reality.
They are living in a city that is
a garbage dump.
It's becoming a garbage dump.
And,
you know, the government will promise to fix things, and then they never do.
They make it worse.
And then the people are like, we need more government.
And,
you know, I walked by the Trump Hotel, Trump International,
and we were staying at the Trump International.
And I can't tell you how many people I saw flip the building off.
And I'm like,
do you even do you have a life?
Do you have a life?
And then my wife said, no, honey, I think they're flipping you off.
And I'm like, okay, well,
let's just leave it at they were flipping the building off.
Okay.
All right.
Back in just a second.
This is Glenn Beck.
So, nothing separate anymore.
Every dollar you spend goes someplace.
And the mobile, big mobile carriers, they're sending your money to places that you would never do.
Places that fund abortion tourism, gender ideology, and schools, anti-Christian agendas, and the same radical groups that mock your values and the values that you try to teach your kids.
And then, when you complain, they tell you, stand in line, stay in your lane.
Here's the truth.
You know, it's all one lane now.
You don't get to opt out of the culture war when the other side is putting their flag in everything, even your phone bill.
This is why Patriot Mobile exists.
They're the only Christian conservative wireless provider in America.
And they'll give you great service on the same cell towers that the other major carriers have without funding all of the madness.
And instead, they support pro-life organizations, veterans, first responders, and causes that you actually believe in and align with your values.

welcome to the glenn beck program
we're glad you're here yeah we uh we have major breaking news uh glenn this coming from uh mrs beck right now uh mrs beck my wife not my mother
yes your wife, your wife.
Okay, good.
Directly to my news desk.
She wanted me to tell him to clarify.
Okay.
Because the Vegas show is Michael Jackson 1.
The New York show is called MJ.
I don't know what any of this means.
But she said, don't worry about it.
We saw it because she loves Michael Jackson.
So we saw the Michael Jackson show in Vegas, which was just an abomination,
and
just soulless.
And then we saw the other Michael Jackson show in New York.
And that was really, actually, really good.
Didn't mention a lot of pedophilia stuff in it.
No mention of that, but
it was really good.
It was really good.
Yeah, she was pretty adamant.
She wanted people to go see the one in New York.
So that was really, really good.
Thank you, sweetheart.
Thank you for clarifying.
America can rest now.
All right.
What else is
on the table today?
You know, we covered the woman being stabbed, you know, Irina, what's her name,
Zaruska.
We covered that earlier today, but I have to tell you that
the video is so disturbing.
And it's like the video of, I don't even know, was I here or was I on vacation when the shooter went into
Minnesota, yeah.
That was so incredibly disturbing, the video that came out.
And I was on and gone.
I mean,
think of how many days,
how many months, how many cities were burned down by the very disturbing video of George Floyd.
Very disturbing.
But the entire world,
I mean, all around the world.
In London, they were protesting.
Okay.
Here, neither of those.
The media just doesn't feel like it's worth more than a day.
And in Irena's case, not even a day.
No stories.
Mainstream media or legacy media not covering it at all.
I contend, if it wasn't for talk radio and X,
you wouldn't end podcasts.
You wouldn't know about it.
You wouldn't know about that story at all.
No one would know about that story.
They just, they, they just think that if it's not in the New York Times, it didn't happen.
Well, it's definitely the
Ukrainian woman story is definitely not in the New York Times.
It's not in the Washington Post.
I saw
multiple ex-posts were saying there's no coverage here, here, here, and here.
I did not believe it.
I was like, surely not.
I looked it up.
Sure enough.
In fact, we didn't get mainstream reporting on it until about last night, just a few hours before we went on air.
CNN, Axios, which you showed the ridiculous headline.
But it's clear they're just responding to the outrage.
That's it.
I mean, let me see if I can find that
headline that was, where was it?
Yeah.
What was the headline?
It was like, it was about, it was about Trump.
Yeah.
It was stabbing video fuels MAGA's crime message.
There it is.
That's the first time they report on it.
Stabbing video fuels MAGA's crime message.
So they've made it all about politics.
Yeah.
And, you know, the one thing that
we're not hearing is
maybe, maybe, you know, maybe it's just me.
I didn't pay attention to the news, so I can't say this.
Was anybody pointing out how many killings have happened, how many shooters we have had from men who are claiming to be women?
Is that getting any report?
I mean, what is this?
Number five?
Yeah.
Nothing credible, which is wild.
I actually had an argument with AI because I was like looking into this right after it happened.
AI was trying to tell me there's no trend here.
There's none at all.
Five, five.
That's what I said.
Five shootings.
I was like, so you mean to tell me that we've never had these in the past.
Now we see one every year or so, or possibly, you know, sometimes more than a year.
And this is not a trend.
No, technically, this is not a trend.
Are you kidding me?
You got to be kidding me.
If you watch the videos on the Minnesota shooting.
Disturbing.
I have not seen that Glenn Dapper.
That was the joker.
It was absolutely a joker.
He patterned himself off of it.
And I haven't seen something like that.
It reminded me, and actually,
the Ukrainian woman attack in Charlotte also gave me very ISIS-type vibes.
The evil and the sheer just...
Just craziness,
the mental imbalance of these people combined with the evilness.
Wait, I mean,
why does that come as a shock?
Many of these people
are standing with
Hamas.
I mean, they didn't have a problem on October 8th.
Exactly right.
I mean,
it's the same kind of, it's a death cult.
It is absolutely a death cult.
And until we start
calling it that, until we start actually recognizing it for what it is, we'll never solve it.
It'll just get worse and worse.
And these are two things that we're not allowed to acknowledge.
We're not allowed to acknowledge that, you know, mental imbalances, this is an issue in this country.
We're not allowed to acknowledge that crime is a problem.
We're not allowed to acknowledge that some of these people that are saying they are trans might be mentally imbalanced as well.
You can't say that.
You absolutely, you have to affirm it, and that's it.
You just have to affirm it.
And then if there's any consequences, you have to just put it out.
You can't even acknowledge it.
It is so clearly, we are so clearly a nation that is struggling with deep mental illness.
And I mean common mental illness.
You know, it's not just some of those who are transgender.
Look at those who are detransitioning and how they talk about it now.
that it was a spell.
It was
a lie they absolutely believed in and they were trapped in it.
And I mean, you're trapping people in these emotional hells.
Yeah.
And
they're not finding any relief.
It's only getting worse.
It's only getting worse for them.
Yeah, I don't, I mean, we, you talk about like, you know, certain vaccines that they, they, they don't, you know, look at some of the side effects.
Like, you know, with the rapid release of the COVID vaccine, that should have gone through like, well, like a decade trial.
It didn't.
We won't know the ramifications for that for who knows how long.
Some of these, we did a special on, you know, the WPATH files and giving some of these drugs to children.
I mean, some of these drugs are not for that at all.
This is just a side effect that it stops some of their growth and
becoming the gender they're supposed to be, they are.
How does this look in 20 years, 30 years?
Like, what are those ramifications?
We don't know.
They are just affirming it, and we don't know the ramifications at this point.
That is scary.
You know, let me go over the, you saw the JFK testimony last week?
No.
Oh, you didn't?
No.
Oh, my gosh.
That was incredible.
I only saw snippets of it.
But boy, they just came out.
They looked unhinged.
They looked unhinged on the left.
All the senators came out just blasting him for all kinds of stuff.
And look, I don't agree with
RFK on a lot of stuff, I'm sure.
But,
you know, all the stuff they were saying he was doing,
I mean, he would answer and he'd be like, well, no, but that's the answer.
Here's the answer.
And he would explain it and you're like, oh, okay.
But they wouldn't accept that.
And they did everything they could to talk over him.
They looked unhinged.
And
all of them, all of them were under just attack, attack, attack, attack, attack.
And I thought, boy, this guy is right over the target.
He must be right over the target because there was no shelter for him.
None.
None.
So I did see some of that.
I thought you said JFK.
And I thought,
I thought we found the grassy no shooter.
I was like, wait a minute, what did I miss?
RFK Jr.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I, I, when he starts coming out with facts and he starts actually talking about percentiles and he talks, starts talking about things like autism, things like that, you can't even, again, that's something that they can't even acknowledge.
They will not acknowledge it.
You know, they can't.
Or the whole thing falls apart on them.
They can't.
I mean,
they were saying, you know, why won't you come out with the, why won't you come out with the protocols?
And he's like, the protocols are right in the front of every study.
It says what the protocols are in every study.
Why won't you?
So you are saying you won't come out with a protocol.
No, they're right.
They're available for everybody.
I don't need to produce them.
They're already in the front of the.
And they just kept saying, and he kept saying over and over, you don't even understand what you're talking about.
You don't, you have no clue how this system even works.
Yeah.
I, I, you know, I don't know all of this stuff perfectly like I should.
I don't know if everything he's talking about is right.
What I do love is that we're talking about it.
Yes.
You look at life expectancy for the average American and how it is just nosediving.
Nosediving.
Something has got to be causing this.
I know.
How many people do you know have cancer?
That's what he said in the testimony, too.
He's like, look, you guys have all been here while this has taken just a cliff dive.
And done nothing.
And you've done nothing.
And now you're coming in when I'm questioning and saying, wait a minute, what is causing this?
Now I'm the threat to American health.
Right.
I mean, he just, if you actually took time to listen to him, and you know, that's the other thing.
I, you know, Stephen Hawking was easier to listen to.
He is so hard to listen to.
I feel horrible because he would be so much more effective if he didn't sound like he sounds.
It's so hard to listen to him.
But if you actually sat and you watched that whole thing, I mean, he killed it.
He just killed it.
And why would you be so worried about him questioning the establishment on some of these causes?
Why would you be so worried?
Because you get a lot of money.
Because you get a lot of money.
A lot of money.
A lot of it.
Money doesn't talk.
It screams.
And it was screaming last week with RFK.
All right, more in just a second.
Let me tell you about Relief Factor.
What would you give if you could go back to the point in your life when you could, you know, get through a full day without that constant nagging pain?

Well, shoot, here we are with open eyes and a bit of rebellious nature.
Hold in line, my friends.
Glenn Beck will be back in a minute.
Every idea starts with a problem.
Warby Parker's was simple: glasses are too expensive.
So, they set out to change that.
By designing glasses in-house and selling directly to customers, they're able to offer prescription eyewear that's expertly crafted and unexpectedly affordable.
Warby Parker glasses are made from premium materials like impact-resistant polycarbonate and custom acetate, and they start at just $95, including prescription lenses.
Get glasses made from the good stuff.
Stop by a Warby Parker store near you.
There's another big story that happened last week that we're still seeing the fallout over, which I'm not quite sure why.
And that is
the Department of War.
going after a drug
boat off the coast of Venezuela.
Jason, I'm trying to remember the last time that the press was this upset about terrorists being bombed.
I mean, I don't even remember them questioning when Barack Obama bombed American citizens and drone strike them.
They didn't question Barack Obama on that?
No, they didn't.
It's strange, isn't it?
Bill Clinton, maybe.
Bill Clinton went to the bottom.
No, the Aspirin Factory.
No, the Aspirin Factory.
They didn't do that either.
I mean,
it's remarkable how the double standard is happening here.
And here's what they won't tell you.
Something that we've told you about for a very, very long time.
The truth on terrorism in Venezuela.
So Hugo Chavez, years ago.
Yeah, 2010, I think, wasn't it?
Yeah,
met with the leaders of most of the scariest terror groups in the world, including Hezbollah, Iran, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, all of them.
I think it was actually dubbed the secret meeting, which is hilarious.
And you can find all this in congressional testimony.
It's in official congressional testimony.
We've just never acknowledged it until, well, I guess on your show, it's been acknowledged publicly.
But we've known that.
We've known that there's an actual terror island.
It's Margarita Island, but Jimmy Buffett had nothing to do with this island, never would be associated with this Margarita Island.
It's basically a terror training camp for people of Iran.
Literally
literally a terror training camp that when they finish their training there, they are shipped back to the Middle East to finish their training in Iran and then come back.
Yeah, I've looked at the official transcripts of this in testimony, and they have it mapped out, at least they did then, of on this island where the specific IRGC, Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, are on this island.
Like they know where they're at, specifically.
They know them.
We've done nothing about it.
Now we actually have a terror designation on some of these groups, including Trenda Agua, which the government said were part of this boat strike on Tuesday, killed 11 people.
Now everyone's saying there's no trial, there's no nothing on this.
And I'm just, I'm confused because we've never had these questions when other presidents had designated other terrorists and we've gone after them with drone strikes or Tomahawk cruise missiles or anything.
We've just accepted it.
So if the standard is now, oh, well, there's no evidence.
A lot of publications have said that.
If that's now the standard, can we just make it blanket for all attacks then?
Why just in this case?
Yeah, I am for holding the government responsible.
I am for saying, you know, you've got to give us evidence.
Give us the evidence.
Show us.
You don't have to give it to us in advance, but you damn well better have it after.
You know, step to the podium and say, here's what it was.
But I want that for all of it.
I want that for Benghazi,
not just this time.
I want that for when
the president that is popular with the media is in.
I want to know all of the facts.
But we've never asked for those in the past.
I'm for it.
I just would like it to be consistent.
That's it.
Is that too much to ask?
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
And if you want to learn more about the terror island,
we'll give you some links to it.
We'll tweet out some links to the shows that we did on Blaze TV where we laid all of this out.
Years ago.
We told you about this.
It's very important that you know what Venezuela is, what it's become, and why it's such a danger to the United States of America.
All right, we'll see you tomorrow.
This is Glenn Beck.
