00:00:30.000 So, Stu, I have an interesting show today.
00:00:34.060 Bill Maher kind of made an impact over the weekend.
00:00:37.700 A lady with an apple. 0.89
00:00:39.620 Of course, you know, there was something that was happening in Columbia University.
00:00:45.660 Oh, and the representatives of you, the duly elected representatives of you in the Senate,
00:00:54.820 came out and voted for no need for a warrant for you.
00:01:01.280 We take that apart in just about 60 seconds when the podcast begins.
00:01:05.560 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:17.260 Well, one thing that people didn't necessarily enjoy, especially if you're Jewish, by the way, happy Passover.
00:01:26.360 Well, they're not listening.
00:01:28.460 It's Passover.
00:01:29.540 So, Jews aren't listening. 1.00
00:01:30.620 Well, I mean, I guess that's true.
00:01:35.100 We can say what we really think.
00:01:37.580 All of our Jewish masters are gone. 0.99
00:01:41.180 At Columbia University, it's kind of getting interesting.
00:01:47.260 Full-blown crisis.
00:01:48.760 Now, Columbia University, as it was heading into Passover, as Rabbi Link to the Ivy League School urged Jewish students to stay home.
00:01:59.320 Intense confrontations on campus sparked condemnation from the White House and New York officials.
00:02:05.880 The atmosphere is so charged, Columbia officials announced students can attend classes and even possibly take exams virtually starting Monday.
00:02:14.360 The first day of Passover, a major Jewish holiday.
00:02:17.540 Tensions at Columbia and many other universities have been high ever since the October 7th terrorist attack on Israel.
00:02:24.040 However, the situation in Columbia escalated in recent days after university officials testified before Congress last week about anti-Semitism on campus
00:02:31.980 and pro-Palestinian protests on and near campus as they surged.
00:02:36.860 The latest crisis opened up Columbia's president to new attacks from her critics with the Republican Elise Stefanik demanding she step down immediately because school leadership has clearly lost control of its campus.
00:02:50.400 Look, I want to make sure we don't make the same mistake we made when we first heard about political correctness.
00:02:58.240 We heard about political correctness and DEI and CRT and all of these things.
00:03:06.500 And what did we say?
00:03:08.200 Most Americans said, well, they're going to learn their lesson when they get out into the real world.
00:03:14.420 I hope you've learned your lesson as these students have come out to the real world.
00:03:20.640 They are the ones who are going to decide what our future is.
00:03:25.540 And I do not want a future run by these people.
00:03:31.980 I'm sorry, that doesn't lead to any place good.
00:03:35.260 And we are constantly bowing down.
00:03:37.660 What do you mean you can take your classes virtually or your tests virtually?
00:03:44.040 If I paid to go to Columbia University, I'm going to walk on the campus of Columbia University.
00:03:49.960 Who are you to tell me that I'm not supposed to be there?
00:03:56.540 Why aren't you telling the protesters you can no longer be here?
00:04:03.100 We have everything upside down.
00:04:05.940 We must not tolerate this anymore.
00:04:09.920 Okay, so I got to get into that in just a minute.
00:04:18.920 This is really bothering me.
00:04:22.180 But something that I think is even more important is what's happening with FISA and war.
00:04:30.980 So, listen to this from the New York Times.
00:04:35.920 Surveillance Law Section 702 keeps us safe.
00:04:39.420 Oh, Patriot Act, Patriot Act.
00:04:41.080 You a patriot or not a patriot?
00:04:43.700 This is an extraordinarily dangerous time for the United States and our allies.
00:04:47.800 Okay, let me start there.
00:04:49.300 Why, New York Times?
00:04:50.480 Why is this a dangerous, an extraordinarily dangerous time for the United States and our allies?
00:04:58.120 You said that Donald Trump was going to destroy peace on Earth.
00:05:03.940 He instead brought us closer to peace.
00:05:07.400 He did things that I never ever thought could be accomplished in my lifetime.
00:05:11.800 You said that if he goes over and he recognizes Jerusalem as the capital city, that we would break out into war. 0.76
00:05:21.000 The opposite happened.
00:05:22.640 We broke out in historic peace accords.
00:05:27.840 So, why are we in an extraordinarily difficult place?
00:05:31.460 I think that is important to answer before you hear their solution.
00:05:36.640 Why are we in this dangerous place?
00:05:42.460 Well, we don't have the fuel.
00:05:45.480 Our economy is out of control.
00:05:48.580 Who was it?
00:05:49.440 It wasn't, it wasn't, no, it was Morgan Stanley came out and said,
00:05:54.820 we have two years to take care of our debt or we're out.
00:05:58.540 Two years.
00:06:00.340 Do you think we're turning the corner on that one?
00:06:02.700 Do you think the next election will change that?
00:06:06.640 No.
00:06:08.140 Do you think that our government currently is, does it, do they even care about that?
00:06:14.800 No.
00:06:15.420 So, we don't have the money.
00:06:17.320 We have pulled out from Afghanistan and shown the world that we were absolutely insane. 1.00
00:06:24.500 Then, we encouraged a war and are paying for a war in Ukraine. 0.55
00:06:31.880 Then, we sent money over to Iran and said, you're kind of off the hook with us.
00:06:39.340 Just pinky promise that you won't do anything.
00:06:41.600 And they did.
00:06:43.580 So, the people who caused this problem cannot fix the problem because they don't recognize that they are the problem.
00:06:53.820 So, this is an extraordinary, dangerous time for the United States and our allies.
00:06:59.040 Yep, it is.
00:07:00.000 And thank you.
00:07:01.440 We now know who and what is responsible for it.
00:07:05.820 Israel's unpreparedness on October 7th shows that even powerful nations can be surprised in catastrophic ways.
00:07:12.380 Fortunately, Congress, in a rare bipartisan act, voted early Saturday to reauthorize key intelligent powers that provides critical information on hostile states and their threats ranging from terrorism to fentanyl trafficking.
00:07:28.600 Okay.
00:07:29.500 All right.
00:07:29.860 Now, again, New York Times, let's just have a recent, I mean, a decent conversation and just say, okay, powerful nations can be surprised in catastrophic ways.
00:07:46.880 But powerful nations can also think catastrophic things can happen and them not be surprised.
00:07:54.960 For instance, every American knows right now we have an open border.
00:08:02.080 If you were serious about catastrophic things happening in the United States, you would be paying attention to our open borders.
00:08:13.180 You would make sure that that was sealed off and only people we knew who were coming in and could vet could come into the United States.
00:08:23.840 But you're not serious.
00:08:26.060 You're hyping all of this stuff that is real.
00:08:29.980 Is real.
00:08:31.800 How dare you?
00:08:34.540 And what do you do?
00:08:36.200 You're using this.
00:08:37.660 Never let a good crisis go to waste.
00:08:39.680 You are using these things to distort and control.
00:08:45.640 Civil libertarians argue that surveillance bill erodes Americans' privacy rights and pointed to examples when American citizens got entangled in investigations.
00:08:55.480 Importantly, the latest version of the bill adds dozens of legal safeguards around the surveillance in question.
00:09:02.440 The most expansive privacy reform to the legislation in its history.
00:09:07.160 Okay.
00:09:07.580 Yeah.
00:09:07.820 Well, that's because it's not, it's not had any.
00:09:11.940 They just keep giving them more power.
00:09:15.040 At the center of the debate is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, originally passed in 1978, demanded that investigations gain an order from a special court to surveil foreign agents inside the United States.
00:09:28.000 Collecting the communication of foreigners abroad did not require court approval.
00:09:32.300 That line blurred in the digital age.
00:09:36.300 Many foreign nationals rely on American providers such as Google and Meta, which route or store data in the United States, raising questions on whether the rules apply to whether the target, whether they are here or there and where their data is collected.
00:09:52.120 In 2008, Congress addressed that conundrum with Section 702.
00:09:56.520 Instead of requiring the government to seek court orders for each foreign target, this is not even what we're talking about.
00:10:04.440 Do you have a problem with foreign targets?
00:10:08.160 Does somebody is using Google to store all of their stuff in a cloud and they live in a foreign and they are putting it up into the cloud in some foreign place and they are foreigners. 1.00
00:10:20.140 Do you have a problem with that?
00:10:22.320 I do not.
00:10:24.100 That's what this is.
00:10:25.500 Why are we arguing?
00:10:27.900 Why does the New York Times feel it's important to explain that part of it?
00:10:33.000 Because I don't think anyone has a problem with that part.
00:10:39.880 This is this is so insane.
00:10:41.700 This is like when people debate the border.
00:10:44.260 Oh, so you're for closed borders.
00:10:46.360 What do you mean by that?
00:10:48.500 You don't like immigrants. 1.00
00:10:50.580 I happen to love immigrants.
00:10:52.480 I wish we had more immigrants that wanted to melt into America and make us stronger. 1.00
00:10:58.860 I think our immigration policies, when done right, actually make us stronger. 0.58
00:11:04.680 I don't want a border that is open so anyone, including terrorists, can come across.
00:11:13.480 That's not partisan.
00:11:17.400 That is not partisan.
00:11:21.280 That is common sense.
00:11:23.440 So they argue that, oh, you just you just hate.
00:11:29.060 No, I hate terrorists.
00:11:31.860 I hate terrorism.
00:11:34.440 Okay.
00:11:35.040 So that's why they are changing the subject and making a big deal.
00:11:40.720 This is just, you know, they had to add Section 702 because Google is storing a lot of stuff
00:11:45.240 for foreigners.
00:11:46.320 I don't care.
00:11:47.940 Nobody does.
00:11:49.840 Section 702 has supplied extraordinary insight into foreign dangers.
00:11:54.340 I'm sure it has.
00:11:55.680 They go in and list them.
00:11:56.860 Although Section 702 can be used only to target foreigners abroad, it does include Americans
00:12:05.240 when they interact with foreign targets.
00:12:08.140 Not only is such incidental collection inevitable in today's globalized world.
00:12:14.200 So in other words, there's nothing you can do about it anyway.
00:12:16.340 It can be vital to U.S. security.
00:12:19.500 If a terrorist or a spy abroad is communicating with someone here, our government must find
00:12:23.300 out why.
00:12:24.700 Yes.
00:12:25.560 And that's why you would swear out a warrant.
00:12:28.820 I have probable cause.
00:12:31.940 That what?
00:12:32.820 They're calling this foreign terrorist?
00:12:35.580 Okay.
00:12:36.140 Well, we maybe look into them.
00:12:38.400 We know anything about them.
00:12:41.600 Probable cause.
00:12:43.240 The FBI, which investigates threats to national security in the United States, can then check
00:12:47.800 that database for Americans under investigation for national security reasons.
00:12:52.200 Good.
00:12:53.340 Just want to check it.
00:12:54.940 We agree those queries raise legitimate privacy concerns, and those concerns are especially
00:13:00.620 acute for public officials and journalists who communicate with foreign officials and other
00:13:05.340 potential intelligence targets that may be sensitive for political or professional
00:13:10.580 reasons.
00:13:11.180 It's also true the FBI has broken the rules about the 702 database checks, blah, blah, blah,
00:13:17.120 blah, blah, blah.
00:13:18.500 And there's, you know, some understandable doubts about whether the FBI can be trusted.
00:13:25.480 Fortunately, there are ways to prevent such abuses in 602 without compromising its critical
00:13:31.660 national security value.
00:13:35.000 Some of the bill's critics argue the FBI should be required to obtain a warrant.
00:13:39.080 But requiring a warrant would have been unnecessary and unwise.
00:13:48.720 Getting a FISA court order is a bureaucratic nightmare, and it slows down investigations.
00:13:56.760 Oh, oh, well, we don't want to slow anything down.
00:14:00.660 We want to target people, say, oh, they called somebody.
00:14:06.700 They were in touch.
00:14:07.860 They had a brush with somebody who's in an investigation.
00:14:11.300 Let's just throw them in jail. 0.99
00:14:13.660 Let's cut through all the bureaucratic nightmare of the Constitution.
00:14:19.020 All this information has been lawfully collected and stored.
00:14:23.500 Yes.
00:14:25.120 Yes.
00:14:26.500 But that doesn't mean that you can look.
00:14:28.740 Remember when we had a problem with the NSA and the storage units?
00:14:33.080 Oh, yeah, but we'll never use it.
00:14:35.040 Then why are you collecting it?
00:14:36.480 We'll never use it.
00:14:38.380 Now they're saying, well, you look at it in whatever you want because it's already stored.
00:14:42.220 They go on to say that as long as it's legal, it's not legal.
00:14:53.020 It's called the Fourth Amendment.
00:14:56.280 It's not legal.
00:14:59.460 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:15:02.320 I want to talk to you about my Patriot Supply, and you might actually understand why we're talking about it
00:15:10.540 with renewed zeal.

00:15:56.420 Now back to the podcast.
00:15:59.440 Well, hello, Megan Kelly.
00:16:01.940 How are you?
00:16:02.840 Hello there, Glenn.
00:16:03.800 I'm good.
00:16:04.380 How are you doing?
00:16:05.020 Good.
00:16:05.360 I mean, we're just living in this Orwellian world here.
00:16:08.320 I thought, you know, you're talking about Title IX.
00:16:11.480 I thought maybe Megan would have something to say about this.
00:16:15.520 I'm so mad about this whole thing.
00:16:18.060 Not even touched by any of the Sunday shows.
00:16:21.000 They don't give a damn.
00:16:22.420 They just don't care.
00:16:23.560 They don't care about women's rights, girls. 1.00
00:16:25.760 These same left-wing zealots who think being a woman and advocating for women's rights boils down to one thing.
00:16:32.720 Whether you can kill a baby in the womb, that's it. 0.88
00:16:35.760 That's all we care about is women, you see. 1.00
00:16:38.420 Once you actually have the baby, they don't care about the women at all.
00:16:41.880 They don't care about the girls. 0.82
00:16:42.820 They don't care about the actual women alive and having to go into restrooms and locker rooms on college campuses with perverted men who are trying to exploit things like the Title IX changes that were just made.
00:16:54.320 They don't care.
00:16:55.080 So I'm done with all these Democrats who want to lecture us on women's rights and how the Republican Party doesn't respect them.
00:17:02.960 So focused on the rights of a woman to abort her baby and then not at all about what's going to happen to her child once it's born, if it's female, never mind the mother herself.
00:17:13.760 What happened on Friday is an abomination.
00:17:15.980 And not just for women.
00:17:17.700 Not just for women.
00:17:18.540 If you have a young man, a son on the college campus, or if you are a young man about to go, be very careful.
00:17:27.340 Honestly, I wouldn't even have sex with a woman unless you are in an engaged relationship, perhaps. 1.00
00:17:38.800 I mean, forget the one-night stand.
00:17:40.740 You're dead.
00:17:41.220 If anybody turns around and says that you sexually assaulted her, you're dead.
00:17:47.360 You're expelled.
00:17:48.400 You have no due process.
00:17:49.580 It's been reversed.
00:17:51.000 And no lawmaker has voted on any of it.
00:17:56.580 Joe Biden's bureaucrats in the Department of Education decided we needed to get rid of due process for young men on college campuses,
00:18:04.860 change the definition of women and girls, and allow any man who says he's trans to enter private spaces where women go.
00:18:17.240 That's what happened on Friday.
00:18:18.800 Doesn't even get a nod on any Sunday show.
00:18:22.360 You know, Megan, at what point do we just recognize that this is fascism?
00:18:30.180 As you said, no one elected had anything to do with this.
00:18:34.860 You can't bring this up to anyone who is elected because they'll say, well, that's just the agency that did that.
00:18:42.500 This has to stop on both sides.
00:18:44.840 This has to stop.
00:18:47.080 At what point is there a breaking point at some point?
00:18:52.320 Well, I mean, we're waiting to get a Supreme Court opinion over the next couple of months that could rein in these out-of-control agencies.
00:19:02.860 So fingers crossed on that.
00:19:05.400 But no, I mean, it really comes down to who the executive is.
00:19:09.900 This all got started under Title IX, for example, under Barack Obama.
00:19:14.700 Where were the news articles calling him a fascist?
00:19:17.320 They didn't exist.
00:19:18.680 Only Trump.
00:19:20.080 Right?
00:19:20.400 Because why?
00:19:21.500 Rhetoric.
00:19:22.240 Not actions, but rhetoric.
00:19:23.720 But Barack Obama was actually doing the things, and the torch has been picked up by his successor, Joe Biden.
00:19:30.800 He's the one who, on his own, wrote this letter to all universities saying, yeah, by the way, I'm getting rid of due process for men on college campuses. 0.83
00:19:43.200 They're no longer going to have the right to see the evidence against them.
00:19:46.520 They're no longer going to have the right to cross-examine.
00:19:48.800 They're no longer going to get a live hearing.
00:19:52.640 We're going to have victims' rights advocates decide all of these cases and just pretend that they're impartial.
00:20:02.120 He did it with the stroke of his pen.
00:20:04.700 Remember his pen and his phone on the immigration policy?
00:20:07.220 He was doing the same thing in this lane.
00:20:09.680 And Trump, God bless him, came in and undid it all.
00:20:12.920 What can be done with the pen can be undone with the pen.
00:20:16.160 And now Joe Biden has come in and gone the other way, and yet what he's done with Title IX, with these two things we're discussing, is much more permanent.
00:20:25.900 It's much worse than an executive order.
00:20:29.260 It's an agency regulation, which is going to be a lot harder to undo.
00:20:32.720 It can be undone, but we need a different president.
00:20:36.000 So how are we going to deal with this?
00:20:39.800 There are things, I can guarantee you, I mean, they did a study three years out.
00:20:46.420 I was reading about how the left was looking at all of the levers and the knobs and the dials that they could just turn even 5% and no one would even notice.
00:20:57.940 And it would put us on a different trajectory that could not be undone.
00:21:02.820 How are we going to get rid of all it?
00:21:06.060 Let's say Trump wins.
00:21:07.120 How do you reverse all of this and then make sure that it doesn't go back?
00:21:15.740 Bit by bit.
00:21:17.680 While we were focused on other things, they were taking over legislation in 50 states and at the federal level when it comes to so-called trans rights.
00:21:27.540 And whenever you hear that term, you should remind yourself it means at the erasure of women, at the expense of women's rights.
00:21:35.100 I was looking on Friday when Title IX, when the revisions came out, you know, where are the women's groups?
00:21:41.520 Where are they to say this is too much?
00:21:45.760 We are not redefining women and we're not allowing so-called trans women, which is a completely made-up thing. 0.99
00:21:52.960 There's no such thing as a trans woman.
00:21:55.180 It's a man pretending to be a woman.
00:21:57.740 That's what it is.
00:21:59.000 Into our bathrooms and our locker rooms, in our grade schools, in our colleges where women don't want to share their locker room with some random man who claims he's a woman. 0.99
00:22:10.820 Have you seen some of the videos on the Internet of the men who exploit this provision?
00:22:16.600 It's not all lovely, genuinely confused men who really want to pass as women.
00:22:22.820 The vast majority of the time, it's either someone who's a pervert, who's exploiting it because he gets off on seeing women half-dressed,
00:22:31.240 or it's somebody who's called an autogynophile who gets sexually aroused by wearing women's clothing.
00:22:38.320 Why does he have the right to come into my daughter's bathroom or a locker room where she's half-dressed?
00:22:43.960 So that's what's happening.
00:22:45.480 And so where are the women's groups? 0.97
00:22:47.200 Nowhere.
00:22:48.040 One of the first to cheer the legislation was the National Women's Law Center.
00:22:53.640 Like, what?
00:22:55.040 You know, guess who's running that?
00:22:56.760 A trans person.
00:22:58.140 A man.
00:22:59.140 A man pretending to be a woman.
00:23:00.600 No wonder.
00:23:01.480 Talk about, like, all these left-wing organizations that were supposed to stand for, let's say, against anti-Semitism,
00:23:09.280 have been co-opted by people who are on the other side,
00:23:11.580 or for women's rights have been co-opted by people who are on the other side. 0.99
00:23:16.020 Bit by bit, they've been laying the groundwork for legislation in all these states to allow medicalization of children to have their penises chopped off,
00:23:26.500 because that's gender-affirming care. 1.00
00:23:29.580 And our side was asleep at the switch.
00:23:31.780 And by our side, I mean the side of reason.
00:23:35.100 So we're waking up, and we have a lot of work to do.
00:23:39.100 Can I ask you, the tone of your voice on this is just different.
00:23:43.180 And I hear that it runs to the core of who you are and what you believe.
00:23:48.440 You know, when we first met, 2008 or so, you know, we both were doing jobs.
00:23:56.780 And there was a lot of, there were a lot of things that, because it wasn't happening this fast, that you'd be like, okay, let's hit that story and that story.
00:24:06.500 Now, for at least for me, there is, there's no time for me to hit stories that I may want to.
00:24:12.960 It is, it's, our job has changed.
00:24:16.160 Do you feel that way?
00:24:17.840 Yeah, I do.
00:24:19.460 And I don't, like, for me personally, I'll just say this.
00:24:22.760 I'm so glad I'm not in my old role at Fox or NBC for that.
00:24:27.460 Because even where I was at Fox, you know, I was more on the news side.
00:24:32.100 But I could never be as open as I am now about my opinions on these issues and, you know, how strongly I feel.
00:24:39.820 I just don't think I would have been able to just play it straight and tell both sides of issues like this.
00:24:48.420 There's a right and a wrong.
00:24:50.320 You know, there's a, there's a good and an evil.
00:24:52.920 I actually was giving a talk at a Stanford business class on Friday and they were saying, some of the comments in your videos online speak in terms of good and evil.
00:25:02.160 Are you okay with that?
00:25:03.200 And I said, 100%.
00:25:05.460 And, yes, if you don't see it that way, truly, you haven't been paying attention.
00:25:10.800 You want to chop off a body part on a minor and tell me that there's a debate on that or sterilize him?
00:25:18.600 Did you see?
00:25:18.960 Because he went through a phase or he's autistic and you didn't look into it?
00:25:22.620 Did you see Bill Maher this weekend?
00:25:25.740 Yes, he's getting it.
00:25:27.900 I mean, he's been great on the non-woke versus woke battle.
00:25:31.060 But we did a long story on the nonsense at Nickelodeon and put on one of the women who had grown up there as a child star and she had terrible things to say about them.
00:25:42.980 It was like a pedophile factory.
00:25:44.740 I will never look at them the same again.
00:25:46.520 But it's also like more and more in leftist circles, Glenn.
00:25:50.980 It's not over because they're now talking about changing the word pedophile to minor attracted person.
00:26:03.000 Like all we could do is fight.
00:26:06.520 How could any straight news person indulge this with two seconds of thought?
00:26:12.520 Like we do have to take a side, you know, and rhetorical arms against this lunacy.
00:26:19.980 And, you know, whether it's fascism or moral rot, the absence of God in our public spaces and private spaces has led to the uprising of the devil or a devil-like figure.
00:26:32.540 And, you know, I'm not even that religious.
00:26:34.840 I just see this as a, you know, as a human.
00:26:37.980 No, I know, I know James Lindsay is, he's an atheist. 0.93
00:26:43.960 And he said, Glenn, there's no other word to describe this other than evil.
00:26:47.440 It is just flat out evil what's going on.
00:26:52.660 Let me, may I recommend something to you?
00:26:56.040 I don't know how long your drive is or your commute or anything.
00:26:58.580 But next time you have about 20 minutes, go to Audible and listen to the new production came out last month on 1984.
00:27:09.800 It's about an hour and a half in total.
00:27:11.960 But just listen to the first 20 minutes.
00:27:14.180 It's been a long time since I've listened to 1984.
00:27:16.480 And I want you to hear it because it's different than reading it right now.
00:27:23.460 And there are scenes where the parents are afraid of their children.
00:27:27.860 There are scenes, the first 20 minutes is like, wow, we're here.
00:27:32.820 I mean, it's, you know, when I read it, probably when you read it in high school, you read it and it was science fiction.
00:27:39.620 No, no, no.
00:27:40.840 It's, it's real for the first time.
00:27:43.900 When I, when I heard this, I was like, oh, oh my gosh.
00:27:47.240 And it's done by really good actors that you would know.
00:27:51.080 Please check it out.
00:27:52.460 Yeah.
00:27:53.000 I will do it.
00:27:53.680 Thank you for the recommendation.
00:27:54.880 You're welcome.
00:27:55.800 That will not take the edge off.
00:27:58.040 No, it won't.
00:27:58.660 But I will tell you that it is, it's shocking to me.
00:28:02.400 Because I read 1984, probably 10 years ago again.
00:28:05.780 And, you know, I'm like, okay.
00:28:06.820 I, it was shocking to me this time around when I, when I listened to it, it is, and how the actors, I don't know if any of the actors went, you know, that kind of sounds like the stuff we're doing right now.
00:28:20.400 I mean, it's, it's phenomenal how eye-opening it is.
00:28:24.600 Megan, thank you.
00:28:25.660 God bless you.
00:28:27.180 And you as well, Glenn.
00:28:28.160 See you soon.
00:28:29.280 Megan Kelly from the Megan Kelly extravaganza.
00:28:32.820 I think that's what she calls it.
00:28:33.920 Uh, on Sirius XM after this program.
00:28:36.720 I don't remember her saying that, but, well, she should.
00:28:40.800 You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck.
00:28:44.260 Check out the full show podcast to listen to the rest of this interview.
00:28:48.500 I want to talk to you about Jace Medical.
00:28:51.080 There's some things going on with our medical system that is just disturbing.
00:28:56.020 Looks like China is, um, getting ready to pound our infrastructure. 0.91
00:29:00.600 Um, you know, we get most of our medicine from China.
00:29:04.280 May I suggest you get your medicine and you have at least a year's worth of it at your house?
00:29:10.620 Uh, Jace Medical can help you on many of the medications that you may be taking or need at your home.
00:29:18.280 They started a few years ago with just five different antibiotics, the Jace case, and you can have it and personalize it to your needs.
00:29:25.260 My daughter is allergic to amoxicillin, so we don't have amoxicillin in our Jace case.
00:29:31.140 Um, you can, um, get whatever antibiotics that you, you need, uh, from Jace Medical.
00:29:38.060 Jace Medical.
00:29:38.900 Enter the promo code BECK at the, uh, at checkout for a discount on your order.
00:29:42.900 Promo code BECK.
00:29:43.920 Jace, J-A-S-E medical.com.
00:29:46.680 Also, you can get your prescriptions that your family needs, uh, from JaceMedical.com.
00:29:51.500 I suggest you do it now.
00:29:54.600 I want to play Bill Maher's monologue.
00:29:57.320 I think this is something that you need to hear.
00:30:00.560 In my new rule, as one of the few people in the public eye who's gone through life and never had kids,
00:30:06.060 someone has to tell me, why am I always having to defend them?
00:30:09.260 I don't even like kids.
00:30:13.100 But I also think it's every adult's job to protect them.
00:30:17.560 Have you all been watching the Max documentary called Quiet on Set, The Dark Side of Kids TV?
00:30:25.340 OMG.
00:30:28.420 Nickelodeon, it wasn't a studio.
00:30:30.260 It was Neverland Ranch with craft services.
00:30:32.480 It is just scene after scene, clip after clip, of the child stars of their day being subjected to
00:30:49.500 obviously inappropriate, highly sexualized degradation, and quite a few pickles going through glory holes.
00:30:58.780 I was grossed out, and I've gone camping with John Waters.
00:31:02.480 I kid you, John. I love you.
00:31:09.640 So I don't know if this documentary is the talk of your town, but it is out here,
00:31:13.900 because it didn't just expose a dangerous workplace.
00:31:17.220 It also exposed hypocrisy.
00:31:19.500 Because it must be pointed out that when the evil governor of Florida was saying the exact same thing
00:31:26.020 about kids and creepy stuff at Disney that liberals now find intolerable at Nickelodeon,
00:31:31.620 he was dismissed as a hick and a bigot.
00:31:34.240 But why would a kids' content factory like Disney be all that different than the one at Nickelodeon?
00:31:41.520 A 2014 CNN report discovered that at least 35 Disney employees had been arrested for sex crimes against children,
00:31:49.080 and in 2021, Disney child star Alison Stoner confessed she only narrowly survived the toddler-to-train-wreck pipeline.
00:31:58.060 The next year, child star Cold Sprouse told the New York Times that young actresses at the Disney Channel were heavily sexualized from an early age.
00:32:06.940 You know, Willie Sutton said he robbed banks because that's where the money is.
00:32:11.400 And the reason we find pedophiles in the Boy Scouts and the Rectory in kids' TV is that's where the kids are.
00:32:20.040 DeSantis wasn't wrong.
00:32:21.840 But we're so tribal now, the left will overlook
00:32:25.180 if the guy from the wrong party calls it out.
00:32:28.940 Sure, Nickelodeon messed up Amanda Bynes, 1.00
00:32:32.580 but the Mickey Mouse Club was where Britney Spears got her start,
00:32:35.360 and she's perfectly fine.
00:32:44.940 And get this, after Brian Peck, who was one of the lead creeps at Nickelodeon,
00:32:52.640 served 16 months in prison for the molesting he did there,
00:32:56.220 Disney hired him, naturally, to work on a children's series.
00:33:01.060 Oh, for pedophiles in Hollywood, it's a small world after all.
00:33:09.720 And not just Hollywood.
00:33:13.760 There are Instagram moms these days who are practically only fanzing 1.00
00:33:18.000 their itty-bitty beauty queen daughters by having them wear skimpy bikinis 1.00
00:33:22.580 and eat bananas to build social media stardom.
00:33:25.700 They're called scherenters, a hybrid of sharing and parent.
00:33:30.060 I call them pimps, a hybrid of pimp and sss. 1.00
00:33:41.540 And people who believe in social justice have agreed this is wrong
00:33:45.620 and this is bad in exposing kids to an adult world
00:33:48.360 of lurid costumes and garish makeup borders on abuse.
00:33:51.780 Now, hurry up and get in the car.
00:33:53.180 We're late for drag queen story hour.
00:33:59.540 This is powerful coming from home.
00:34:01.920 Not that there's anything wrong with being a drag queen,
00:34:05.020 but maybe it's time to admit that sometimes drag queen story hour 0.98
00:34:09.180 is more for the queen than the kids.
00:34:13.020 Sure, kids love a clown, but does the clown have to have...
00:34:16.180 And when I see a five-year-old tipping, tipping at a bar under a sign that says
00:34:31.920 it's not going to lick itself, do I have to pretend that's cool
00:34:36.240 in order to keep my liberal ID card?
00:34:39.100 Good for you.
00:34:39.600 Sorry, I can't do that.
00:34:41.140 Good for you.
00:34:41.680 If you want kids to be more tolerant, why not have handicapped people read them stories?
00:34:45.760 Kids are more likely to encounter disabled people than drag queens in life. 1.00
00:34:49.700 Geez, can't we just go back to the good old days when kids were read simple stories
00:34:54.460 with simple morals like, if you're a lonely single man, just make a boy out of wood.
00:35:00.480 LAUGHTER
00:35:01.040 APPLAUSE
00:35:02.480 I've said it before.
00:35:11.020 Wokeness is not an extension of liberalism anymore.
00:35:14.560 It's more often taking something so far that it becomes the opposite.
00:35:19.760 Teaching kids not to hate or judge those who are different?
00:35:23.180 Great. Proud we got there. All for that.
00:35:26.680 But at a certain point, inclusion becomes promotion.
00:35:31.060 And contrary to current progressive dogma,
00:35:34.320 children aren't miniature adults wise beyond their years.
00:35:37.460 They're morons.
00:35:38.320 LAUGHTER
00:35:40.320 They're gullible morons who'll believe anything and just want to please grown-ups.
00:35:52.280 And they don't have any frame of reference.
00:35:54.620 So they normalize whatever's happening.
00:35:56.820 That's why endlessly talking about gender to six-year-olds isn't just inappropriate.
00:36:01.500 It's what the law would call entrapment.
00:36:04.880 Which means enticing people into doing something they wouldn't ordinarily do.
00:36:09.880 For example, after 9-11, there were several cases of overzealous federal agents
00:36:15.220 leading sad losers into terrorist plots.
00:36:18.680 Like the undercover FBI agent who got seven out-of-work dudes in Liberty City, Florida,
00:36:24.120 to sign on to a plot to bomb the Sears Tower in Chicago.
00:36:28.620 Oh, please. These guys didn't even have a gun.
00:36:31.620 But when someone said,
00:36:32.640 Wouldn't it be cool if we taught the man a lesson and blew something up?
00:36:36.180 They said,
00:36:37.120 Yeah, that would be kind of cool.
00:36:38.720 LAUGHTER
00:36:39.780 Entrapment.
00:36:41.640 Suggesting someone into something they wouldn't otherwise do.
00:36:45.500 And if you think that some of that isn't going on with gender in schools,
00:36:49.620 you're not watching enough TikTok videos.
00:36:51.700 I pledge allegiance to the queers. 1.00
00:36:54.340 I'm not allowed to be out as trans non-binary at school.
00:36:58.700 My response to this is to be as obnoxiously queer as possible. 1.00
00:37:06.040 There's a certain kind of activist these days who wants to take heterosexuality,
00:37:11.340 old school, old-fashioned, boring, minding-its-own-business heterosexuality,
00:37:16.360 and lump it in with patriarchy and sexism and racism and tell kids,
00:37:21.740 Wouldn't it be cool if you were anything but that?
00:37:25.480 It also seems to be the theme of kind of a lot of kids' books these days.
00:37:31.000 I never used the phrase gay agenda because I thought it was mostly nonsense.
00:37:36.840 And it is. Mostly.
00:37:39.380 But a director for Disney Television Animation did say after she was hired...
00:37:44.000 The showrunners were super welcoming to, like, my, like, not-at-all-secret-gay agenda.
00:37:49.160 Like, I was just wherever I could just basically adding queerness.
00:37:53.360 No one would stop me and no one was trying to stop me.
00:37:56.760 Look, I'm all for adding queerness wherever. 0.97
00:37:59.640 I put some in my drink before I came out here tonight.
00:38:01.920 But maybe we should think about giving kids a break from our culture wars for a minute,
00:38:14.820 or at least until the election is over.
00:38:17.780 Wow.
00:38:18.760 This is remarkable from Bill Maher.
00:38:23.200 I've never played a monologue, a whole monologue from Bill Maher before.
00:38:26.800 And we disagree on a lot.
00:38:29.960 He isn't changing.
00:38:31.800 Remember what the woman who saved all those Jews in Auschwitz told me.
00:38:38.840 She's like 90 years old, and she said,
00:38:41.460 the righteous didn't suddenly become righteous.
00:38:44.460 They just refused to go over the cliff with the rest of humanity.
00:38:47.960 That's all he's doing.
00:38:49.060 He is demonstrating now it doesn't take anything but courage to say what you know is right.
00:38:58.720 He's not changed.
00:39:01.740 He is now to a point to where he's seen enough to where he's like,
00:39:08.180 wait a minute, liberals and progressives are not the same.
00:39:12.560 Wokeism and liberalism is not the same.
00:39:15.460 And you could tolerate that for a while because it kind of was the same.
00:39:20.560 And let me say this.
00:39:22.720 On the right, the people who are saying we now have to get rid of the Constitution,
00:39:29.240 we need extra constitutional powers for the presidency,
00:39:33.880 you might be like Bill Maher and go, well, yeah, I don't necessarily agree with it,
00:39:38.500 but times are different.
00:39:39.760 And, you know, what they're saying is going to turn out to be is just totally nonsense.
00:39:43.920 No, it's not.
00:39:45.120 No, it's not.
00:39:46.120 You go away from the Constitution.
00:39:48.140 You never come back.
00:39:49.700 You never come back.
00:39:51.140 If the conservatives can't realize that there is an infection in the conservative movement right now
00:39:57.300 that is absolutely anti-constitutional,
00:40:02.660 you're fooling yourself as much as Bill Maher did.
00:40:05.360 And we won't have the time for you to wake up like Bill Maher has.
00:40:12.480 He hasn't changed.
00:40:14.220 He's just opened his eyes and went, you know what?
00:40:16.660 It's gone too far.
00:40:17.640 The too far of correction on the conservative side,
00:40:24.760 just like it is right now with Joe Biden,
00:40:28.300 all that extra constitutional power that he is grabbing onto,
00:40:33.280 you cannot grab onto it for the right and wield it.
00:40:39.060 That power belongs back to the people,
00:40:43.660 to the individuals,
00:40:45.500 and protected by the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
00:40:50.820 Na, na, na, na, na.
