The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Charlie Kirk & Nerdrotic ｜ 6⧸21⧸24

00:00:00.000 Hey, today's podcast you're going to absolutely love. We start with something that is really,

00:00:05.660 truly stunning. The federal government just been exposed for trying to start something

00:00:12.380 that really looks like the Stasi or the KGB. The things that they're doing now,

00:00:18.920 and I again believe to intentionally piss you off because a color revolution needs riots in the 0.84

00:00:25.900 streets. We also talk about what's coming with the SCOTUS decisions. There's one that came down

00:00:32.140 that was semi-important, but everything really is all next week. Also, we spoke to Charlie Kirk.

00:00:38.760 Great conversation with him about what do we do to fix America, and he has really solid ideas that

00:00:47.380 are different than I've heard from any place else. It's part of his new book, Right Wing Revolution,

00:00:53.440 that's available everywhere. Then we talked to Nerd Roddick. It's Gary Buechler. He is all over

00:01:02.200 this new Star Wars series. You know, of course, it's, you know, the obvious Star Wars story,

00:01:09.320 the lesbian space witches, right? Anyway, he's being blamed, and he's even getting strikes against him 0.93

00:01:17.740 on YouTube because they're saying that he is, I guess, homophobic or anti-witch or... I don't know

00:01:25.540 exactly, but it's a horrible show, and we talked to him about that, and so much more on today's Friday

00:01:31.040 podcast. Sometimes you'll want to shoot somebody, but not to kill them. Now, I'm not talking about,

00:01:39.700 you know, casually going, I just would like to take that person. I mean, there's somebody who is,

00:01:45.620 you know, robbing the store, and you're, I don't know, back with the beer, you know, by the

00:01:51.500 refrigerators, and, you know, he's only carrying a knife, or he's trying to fist fight, or somebody

00:01:58.700 who's approaching you who doesn't have a gun and, you know, is challenging you to a fist fight. This

00:02:04.120 hasn't happened, but it could happen at any time, especially when you look at the way our society is

00:02:09.580 breaking down. The Berna launcher gives you an ability to shoot and not kill. Shoot instead tear

00:02:20.640 gas. When you hit tear gas, if you're within six feet of them, they're going to be incapacitated for 0.88

00:02:28.580 about 40 minutes. This is legal in all 50 states. No permits or background checks are required.

00:02:34.360 It can be used by all age groups over 18. You can pack it in your luggage. So, you know, let's say,

00:02:39.880 hey, honey, let's take a vacation. I don't know, in Oakland, you can bring your Berna launcher with

00:02:45.280 you. Powerful deterrence, less lethal option. Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn. Get 10% off your

00:03:04.360 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Stu, for the life of me, I looked at this

00:03:12.920 story and I just didn't recall it at all. And I think this is, this tells you something that we

00:03:19.880 have so many things going on in our country right now that a story this big could elude us or just

00:03:29.820 talk about it once and then move on. Listen to this. To be clear, this didn't elude us, right?

00:03:34.440 It was actually in the show prep in the newsletter. If you're a subscriber to the newsletter, which is

00:03:40.040 all the show prep that we do every day, you got this on September 21st, 2023. It was the lead story

00:03:46.760 that day in our prep and we talked about it. But, you know, you're right. These things just come and

00:03:51.720 go because every day is a new catastrophe. Yeah. Listen to this one. The Biden administration

00:03:57.820 since disbanded Homeland Intelligence Expert Group, which reminds me, make sure you listen

00:04:04.980 to the new podcast, the Beck story. The third one comes out tomorrow. Is it the third one or fourth

00:04:12.660 one? And it's all about experts and how these experts, it's all part of the progressive plan

00:04:18.900 for the last hundred years. The world will start making sense to you like nobody's business.

00:04:22.360 Anyway, so that's the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group. They planned an influence operation

00:04:30.320 to persuade mothers and teachers to inform on dissident parents and students suspected of domestic

00:04:39.640 extremism. Now, as we told you after the passing of the Patriot Act, be careful because terrorism can

00:04:48.220 be one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist. One man's terrorist is another man's

00:04:55.140 freedom fighter. And we're seeing that. We're seeing that all the time. If you are standing up

00:05:00.660 and you're standing up peacefully, you can go to jail. You can go to prison. You can stand up peacefully

00:05:07.460 and, in fact, kneel down and pray in front of an abortion clinic and you can go to jail now for 10 years.

00:05:12.960 But you can burn down an abortion clinic and they don't even look for you. 0.85

00:05:18.400 The panel created in September of last year was to provide advice and perspectives on intelligence

00:05:26.020 and national security efforts. I'm quoting. They included the Obama-era CIA director, John Brennan.

00:05:35.420 Gee, how many times have we seen his name come up? And it's all related to bad, oppressive stuff.

00:05:43.000 Also, the ex-director of the National Intelligence Agency, James Clapper. Now, these were the guys that

00:05:50.400 during the 2020 election were showing their credentials. Hey, I just want you to know,

00:05:56.780 I'm a bigwig in the intelligence department and let me tell you, this Hunter Biden laptop,

00:06:02.780 that's dangerous Russian disinformation. Okay. Conservative nonprofit, thank God for American 0.53

00:06:11.500 first legal, alleged in November, in a lawsuit in 2023, November, that the group was stacked with

00:06:18.980 Democratic partisans. Now, listen to this. This is how this thing was stopped. It was stacked with

00:06:25.420 Democratic partisans and violated the Federal Advisory Committee Act because of its lack of balance.

00:06:32.820 The Biden administration's inappropriate influence over it and its lack of public notice and participation.

00:06:42.100 DHS agreed to disband the group and to provide American first legal with the internal records as part of an out of

00:06:49.160 court settlement in May. I just want you to know, they don't stop these things. They rename them,

00:06:56.280 they break them up, and they do them in other ways. You can't say you are a lover of our democracy,

00:07:04.660 and you're trying to save democracy, and put a secret council together that is encouraging people

00:07:12.480 to look at political dissent and report on those people so the government can do something.

00:07:21.220 In the notes from a September 2023 meeting, the Brennan Clapper group discussed ways for the

00:07:27.700 Department of Homeland Security to increase efforts to collect intelligence on Americans across the

00:07:34.540 country and to get into local communities in a non-threatening way. Members noted, quoting,

00:07:43.620 Americans have an ambivalent feeling of telling on each other, citing the failure of see something,

00:07:48.700 say something. No, we don't, we're not ambivalent about that. We don't want to do that.

00:07:54.600 If I see somebody that is breaking the law, and I think they're doing something that looks like it

00:08:02.160 might be terroristic in nature, yeah, I will call the police. But I'm not snooping and spying on my

00:08:10.860 neighbors. The problem one attendee summarized was, quote, how do we get people, or how do people safely

00:08:20.760 report a concern about their neighbors? One solution proposed at the meeting was to reclassify,

00:08:29.700 listen to this, one proposal was to reclassify political dissent as a public health crisis,

00:08:39.940 and to encourage Americans to report family members or neighbors to the federal government

00:08:45.000 if they displayed any concerning behavior. Yeah, well, here's some concerning behavior.

00:08:53.940 Trump derangement syndrome. Here's some concerning behavior. Putting together the Stasi. 0.66

00:09:01.160 Here's some concerning behavior. Allowing illegals and gangs to come into our country, 1.00

00:09:09.340 rape and kill our children, and still do nothing about it. Who do I call for that? 0.99

00:09:14.840 Quote, to get a mother or a teacher to come forward, it needs to be a public health catcher's mitt. 0.99

00:09:24.860 So they're saying, Trump derangement syndrome, they're saying, if you disagree, it's because 0.96

00:09:33.420 you have mental health problems. Now, Stu, what was one of the ways that the Stasi and the Nazis 0.97

00:09:40.900 could get people at the beginning, before they just said, we don't care, to get people off the streets

00:09:48.220 who disagreed with them? Where did they put some of those people before the concentration camps?

00:09:55.260 Hmm.

00:09:58.480 Asylums. 1.00

00:09:59.480 Oh, yeah, that's very true.

00:10:01.780 Asylums. 1.00

00:10:02.300 They put them in the crazy house because they were just crazy, because to go against what

00:10:09.020 is good for the common good is clearly some sort of mental health disorder.

00:10:15.560 If DHS could not convince mothers and teachers to become informants, one member of the group

00:10:21.420 suggested the feds, listen to this, should turn to corporate America as a resource of intelligence

00:10:28.140 on their employees. May I ask, what more information does our government need on us as

00:10:37.420 individuals? They already know. We know that they are listening to us. Now, I don't mean that

00:10:45.080 they're actually somebody's on the other line listening in. They don't need that. They now have

00:10:49.920 AI and keywords. So if you are on the telephone and you're talking to somebody and you mention the

00:10:55.580 word assassination, that keyword highlights it and that record is pulled out and that's when it's

00:11:02.380 analyzed.

00:11:04.980 We already know they're doing this.

00:11:08.400 We already know they track, if you're a person of interest, and be careful on what that means,

00:11:15.400 if you're a person of interest, what can they do? Well, they'll go in to your social network

00:11:22.640 and they will see, and we know they're doing this without being people of interest, just topics that

00:11:29.320 they find disturbing. So if you're online, they will look, where did that idea come from? They'll do

00:11:37.740 a tree and they'll do a tree to all of your friends and relatives to see who is spreading this.

00:11:44.500 They're doing that. What else? What other information do they need from corporate America?

00:11:52.040 My gosh, have you ever worked for a really vindictive person? Have you ever worked at a

00:11:57.640 place where your bosses were just scumbags? Can you imagine if they had the power to report you to 1.00

00:12:03.360 the federal government on just any old thing?

00:12:06.220 They said that the corporate America should be considered as a resource of intelligence on their

00:12:15.360 employees because there is an industry ecosystem. Companies are internally collecting open sources.

00:12:22.900 Can we engage and use those products? Plans have strong echoes of East Germany's secret police

00:12:31.140 agency, the Stasi, which relied on a network of unofficial informants to report friends, family,

00:12:37.260 and neighbors as potential dissidents to the socialist regime between 1950 and 1990.

00:12:44.040 So do you know what happened? Do you know why when people come here, the thing that people used to

00:12:51.120 always say about America is they're so trusting. Americans are just so open and they'll invite you into

00:12:57.760 their house and, you know, they'll just, they'll just talk to you. And it's, there's nowhere on earth like

00:13:04.060 that. Do you know why? Because we've never had a Stasi. We've never had to worry about our neighbors on the

00:13:13.220 payroll of the federal government turning us in. I'm sorry, we did during Woodrow Wilson. We did all of this for

00:13:21.780 three years under Woodrow Wilson. And it is why there wasn't a single progressive elected for 10

00:13:28.100 years, because it took our breath away. Thanks to American First Legal, we're able to get the

00:13:39.380 Biden's team personal documents outlining the strategy to monitor and intimidate any dissenting views.

00:13:45.680 It's shocking to see such intolerance and paranoia in written form. The revelations are the first

00:13:53.580 installment of what the AFL is calling the deep state diaries. They promise that many more documents

00:14:00.700 obtained are going to be released soon. Now, you want to talk about releasing documents. Here's the

00:14:08.020 other thing that our federal government is doing. This is why Stu and I lost track of this story until

00:14:14.440 AFL came out and sued and won. Because there's so many of these things. Let me tell you something

00:14:22.700 else. If you believe in democracy, one man, one vote, which we have that portion when we go to vote for

00:14:32.800 a representative. That's why we're a representative republic, a democratically elected representative

00:14:42.900 government, a republic. Anyway, if you believe one man, one vote, then you should be the strongest person

00:14:57.600 on voter fraud. You should be the number one person saying, wait a minute, wait a minute. I believe the

00:15:05.160 people and the people alone should decide. Then you should be the strongest and standing up and saying,

00:15:11.600 and no one should be able to influence that. Notice they try to take the money out of it,

00:15:18.240 okay? But they leave all of those loopholes open for people like George Soros.

00:15:24.900 And as long as their party is doing it, it's fine. I don't want my party doing it. I don't want any

00:15:31.760 party doing it. I want one man, one vote. There's no reason our elections are not secured by blockchain

00:15:38.180 right now. There's no reason for this. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:44.180 Well, the day has finally come to a close as you ease yourself down into bed, stare up at the ceiling,

00:15:49.260 thinking about what tomorrow's going to bring. Is the answer pain? If you're living with pain,

00:15:54.360 I may have an answer for you. Now, this is not a pain reliever per se. It's not something that you

00:15:59.640 take, well, like, ow, I got a headache. This is a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain

00:16:05.300 by fighting inflammation, and it's 100% drug-free. Over a million people have tried Relief Factor's

00:16:38.820 you know it works. Now, back to the podcast. Charlie Kirk, who was a kid when I was on at Fox and

00:16:47.060 kind of grew up watching me and watching the show and now has become one of the most powerful people

00:16:54.120 on the right in the United States of America. He has done more than I think almost anybody that I

00:17:02.860 know, especially at his age. I don't mean to make him sound like a kid. He's make me feel old. He's

00:17:10.540 how old are you now? 55, Charlie? I'm getting old for this stuff, Glenn. I'm 30. I'm getting way too old.

00:17:18.040 But you've been so kind and gracious. And you remain a teacher of mine, Glenn. And you really

00:17:23.680 were one of the first voices that made sense to me. And you would question the status quo. And

00:17:29.240 you were the voice of the Tea Party movement where I got my start. And I'd listen to you on

00:17:32.920 television, on Fox and local radio in Chicago. So God bless you. It's still surreal to be able to go

00:17:38.860 on your show. It's a full circle. So God bless you. Thank you. Well, I'm thrilled with your success,

00:17:44.200 Charlie, and the things that you're doing. You have a new book out, which I think is so perfect.

00:17:50.400 Somebody asked me yesterday, if you could do it all over again, is there something that you wish

00:17:55.680 you would have focused on instead of what you did? And I said, only one thing, and that is

00:18:02.200 practical solutions, God solutions, changing your life, cleaning up your life, doing these things.

00:18:10.040 But I just, I focused on the things that politically we should do, where that's not the answer. And this

00:18:18.840 is what your book really goes right into. Yeah, that's exactly right. And so when we decided to

00:18:25.100 write this book, we obviously diagnosed what the problem is, but that's only about 10% of the book,

00:18:29.280 because that's really been done comprehensively. As you know, Glenn, what is the woke? Where does it

00:18:34.240 come from? Marxism, nihilism, postmodernism, deconstructionism. So there's a little bit of that.

00:18:37.720 But 90% of the book is about action, action, action. And that's my life. That's what I've been

00:18:42.520 done for 12 years. We run Turning Point USA, Turning Point Action. We're making a big difference

00:18:47.500 with younger people. I get that all the time. And I know you know this, Glenn. People at Tea Party

00:18:53.000 meetings or at local Republican meetings, where they come up to you asking for a selfie. Glenn,

00:18:57.400 I'm so worried about the future of America. What can I do? And I get that question all the time.

00:19:01.700 And I was just kind of tired of telling the cliche, well, you know, run for office, pal. And I said,

00:19:07.240 what we really need is a comprehensive, whole-of-life strategy that involves every

00:19:13.560 part of our being of how we're going to restore a virtuous republic. So the hypothesis we have in

00:19:20.720 this book is that the Constitution is collapsing. The republic, small-r Republican form of government

00:19:27.000 is disintegrating. And it goes back to the quote from James Madison, where he says that the Constitution

00:19:33.280 was written wholly for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the people 0.99

00:19:38.960 of any other. And it might have been John Adams. I get them interchange. However, the point is that

00:19:42.720 the quote was right there near the American founding, which is that if you are no longer

00:19:46.920 a moral or religious people, then you can really not sustain a small-r Republican form of government.

00:19:53.920 So that's really where we need to start.

00:19:56.340 And that's because you can't manage yourself. And so there's not enough laws that we could pass

00:20:05.780 to manage individuals. You have to have personal responsibility to be able to have freedom.

00:20:13.200 You know, I would say it even goes back to Adam Smith with, you know, where he comes up with the

00:20:17.780 invisible hand of the market. If you are somebody who, a society that just is embracing violent

00:20:26.540 pornography, that's exactly what the system will give you. And we have to be under self-control enough

00:20:34.960 to say, yes, I know that is an option, but it is, it's, it's devastating to not only me, my soul,

00:20:42.120 my relationship, my future relationships, my children and my country. So no.

00:20:49.660 Yes. And how often do we say we want self-government to be restored, but are we a people that is

00:20:56.780 currently capable of self-government? Are we a people where we know our neighbors and we've done

00:21:01.580 the work to build strong communities? And we talk about in the book, things that you can actually

00:21:06.500 actively do that you might not always think about. One is a very radical idea, Glenn, which is

00:21:11.540 try to restore the Sabbath back as a core piece of your life. We argue in the book that when America

00:21:18.540 logged off and there was no very lower television, lower radio consumption habits, and hopefully,

00:21:24.000 you know, today would be less social media and honestly less business transactions. America was

00:21:28.900 a more decent country because you're left with less distractions. You spend more time with your

00:21:33.360 family. You spend more time with your children. You spend more time with your neighbors. Now that might

00:21:37.440 not seem like a political issue, oh, you know, for six days you shall work, on the seventh day you

00:21:42.200 shall rest. It does say it repeatedly in the scriptures, but it's actually one of the most

00:21:45.900 political things when you think about it. Because if you are not willing to sanctify time and give one

00:21:52.220 day to the divine, well then you're nothing more than a very rich servant or slave of the state or

00:21:57.800 your corporate masters. And I'm not saying that the government has to mandate anything, but through this

00:22:02.920 national revival that we're calling for in this book, why don't we try to get back to this idea

00:22:08.060 of a national day of rest? And by the way, the founding fathers did it. We did it for over 150

00:22:13.400 years in this country. And that's just one idea of many different things. Secondly, we talked about,

00:22:17.940 Glenn, the need to learn. You might say, what? They say an informed population is a threat to the

00:22:24.880 great reset. There is, we have never had access to more information and yet less people accessing that

00:22:32.420 information in the history of the species. Right now I'm calling you on a smart, isn't it? On my

00:22:38.300 smartphone, we have every lecture, podcast imaginable, free of charge. You can listen to the Glenn Beck

00:22:43.540 show. You can listen to my podcast. You can listen to Jordan Peterson. You can listen to Christopher

00:22:47.260 Rufo, James Lindsay. You can listen to all the legends, free of charge. And yet people are making

00:22:54.460 the decisions to not do that. And so people say, what can I do? What can I do? You have to spend time

00:22:58.720 learning about old things. We have an entire chapter in this book talking about if it has

00:23:04.100 lasted more than a couple hundred years, it probably has lasted for a couple hundred years

00:23:09.060 for a good reason. And so to spend time nurturing your mind and your soul and your being, slowing down

00:23:16.900 your life and understanding that the path forward very well, you might understand the path forward by

00:23:22.600 knowing what came before you. And a lot of this is not revolutionary stuff, as the title would suggest,

00:23:28.660 but actually kind of is revolutionary in the time that we're in. And think about it. We are told that

00:23:34.260 if anything is old, it is misogynistic, colonialistic, outdated, backwards and racist. We are told that if

00:23:41.140 you are not constantly looking at your phone all the time, then you are not being as productive as you

00:23:46.360 need to. We have an entire chapter of this book about what I consider to be the actual existential

00:23:51.060 crisis of the West. And it's not climate change. It's not environmentalism. It's not systemic

00:23:56.920 racism. It's the collapsing fertility rates in the West. And we go after, why is that happening?

00:24:03.160 Where did this come from? And how can we reverse it? Where we are now below replacement levels,

00:24:08.420 because we believe having children is a gift from the Lord.

00:24:12.380 What's your theory on why it collapsed?

00:24:16.320 Well, I think there's a couple of reasons. The first and foremost is that on university and college

00:24:20.680 campuses, it is presented that having children is a burden. That's number one. Number two,

00:24:26.240 we have told a generation of young women to instead prioritize family formation to go try and become

00:24:34.800 a CEO of a shoe company. And we go through the numbers in this book. There are millions, almost

00:24:40.000 10 to 12 million, early 30, late 30 young women who are unmarried in this country. And that is a bad

00:24:47.200 statistic across the board. And again, I'm all for people, you know, I'm all for liberty. So if you

00:24:51.700 want to be an entrepreneur, you want to pursue your dreams, so be it. But it comes with a price. It

00:24:56.040 comes with a consequence. And then we also talk about in the book, the assault on men is that some

00:25:01.420 of the solutions are a masculine spirit in the West, men being men again, and being unafraid to ask a girl

00:25:08.760 out on a date of being protectors of women. Do you know that less than half of Gen Z men, when they

00:25:15.620 take a young girl on the date, pay for the date? I think that alone is a number worth thinking about. 1.00

00:25:23.040 Let's think about the greatest generation. What percentage of the greatest generation would pay

00:25:27.160 for the meal when they took a woman out to date in the 1940s?

00:25:31.440 It had to be probably had to be 95 to 100. I totally agree. And you might again,

00:25:37.460 some people might think that's a silly observation. I think that's very telling

00:25:40.540 that we went from a country where men would take the where they would be assertive, that they would

00:25:45.540 take the initiative. Of course, they understood that their role was to protect women and to have

00:25:50.160 children and to provide for the family to of this false promise of cultural egalitarianism,

00:25:55.920 which is a lie from secularism. So so then finally, on the fertility crisis part,

00:26:01.440 is I think this is really important that there's an economic component to it. And you know,

00:26:05.420 I'm not a Marxist. I'm not one to blame materialism for all of our problems. However,

00:26:09.780 the number one reason that married couples give for why they don't have more children 0.99

00:26:13.920 is that it's too expensive. And we talk about in the book that cheap money Federal Reserve policies

00:26:19.340 of creating money out of thin air, which is the ultimate big government project,

00:26:23.040 the ultimate big government project is giving a monopoly of money to the Federal Reserve

00:26:27.400 has resulted in families that want to have more children, giving up and surrendering and saying,

00:26:33.420 we don't want to have kids. In the book, we talk about it's a fire alarm during COVID. You would

00:26:38.560 think when a bunch of people are not going to work, they're locked up in their homes,

00:26:42.280 but the birth rate would skyrocket nine months later. It's kind of like that. Oh, you'll you

00:26:47.280 have a blackout in New York City. All of a sudden, you're going to see a baby woman nine months,

00:26:50.860 right? In fact, we have seen the opposite, Glenn. And this is what was so eye opening to me. And

00:26:56.660 Dennis Prager deserves credit for leading me towards this truth is that having children is 0.74

00:27:01.540 not automatic. The the act of having children is having autumn is somewhat automatic. But children

00:27:07.680 is a value, you must value reproduction and mating said differently that if you have the technology to

00:27:14.700 interfere with being able to have children such as birth control, people will use that and they'll say,

00:27:20.700 we don't want to have children anymore. And so we go into great detail. We think that is the great

00:27:24.920 existential crisis facing the West and the species, our inability to reproduce and our

00:27:30.780 ability to honestly replicate ourselves, which we think is a much bigger issue than climate change,

00:27:36.400 systemic racism, more trans nonsense as they're pushing right now. So I have to tell you, Charlie, 1.00

00:27:41.680 the two things that you just said that if I were on the left, I like I would say he's talking about

00:27:47.560 the replacement theory. He's he's he's shoveling that garbage, that conspiracy theory, replacement

00:27:53.680 theory. And I would also say that you now just are advocating for the end of all birth control.

00:28:00.360 Well, not not not advocating for the end of all birth control, any means, but I was just when it 1.00

00:28:05.500 comes when when it comes again, I'm a liberty guy. So you make the decisions and use your agency as

00:28:10.540 you see fit. But let's tackle that one first. I'm not even criticizing birth control. I'm making an

00:28:14.600 observation that when people have birth control, that they will not necessarily then choose to

00:28:19.600 still have children. And because it was an automatic assumption built in for thousands of years that

00:28:24.660 having children is is not a value. You just do it. It is part of life. And because we as as

00:28:32.340 modernity progressed and we had antibiotics and we had modern medicine and surgery, we had fever

00:28:38.520 reducers, we saw population rates increase. And that was a good thing. So we just figured we just 1.00

00:28:43.620 figured as such, OK, population is just going to keep on growing and we're going to overpopulate

00:28:47.560 the earth. And, you know, the great reset guys, they've been saying, oh, we have many people that

00:28:51.900 the numbers actually show the opposite. So it's not necessarily even a criticism of birth control

00:28:56.300 per se. It's just that when people have it available, they might say, yeah, I don't want

00:29:00.080 to have kids. I might want to have the pleasure in the act of having children as long as I don't

00:29:04.380 have to have children myself. The second part, as far as the replacement, that's not a racial

00:29:08.460 thing. In fact, if you look at the birth rates of black America, they're some of the

00:29:11.940 lowest. I want all different races and backgrounds to increase how much children they're having. 1.00

00:29:17.940 And it's fascinating, Glenn. If you look at the bell curve of who's actually having more

00:29:22.380 than two kids in this country, it is the super poor and the super rich. The middle class are

00:29:27.960 the ones that are opting out of having lots of children. And so what that tells me is that

00:29:32.400 having a lot of children is a luxury benefit for people that have a bunch of money. And it

00:29:37.120 also is the most cherished possession of people that do not have material possession.

00:29:43.340 Isn't that incredible? So the people that have nothing or very little, and they might be on 0.55

00:29:47.620 welfare or poverty, having children, that is their treasure. That is their prize. And the

00:29:52.240 people that have a ton of money, millions of dollars a year, having children because they

00:29:56.340 have all the stuff, it really means nothing. As you all know, Glenn, having more toys doesn't

00:30:00.300 do anything. That having children actually is the ultimate beauty. And I see this all

00:30:05.380 the time amongst people that have a lot of money and have a lot of success. They have

00:30:09.500 tons of planes and tons of homes. And they say, let's go have a couple more kids because 0.91

00:30:13.300 that actually gives you satisfaction and meaning and purpose. The people who are opting out of

00:30:18.060 having children are the ones earning $70,000 or $80,000 a year. It's fascinating data that

00:30:21.700 we talked about.

00:30:22.180 You are listening to the best of Glenn Beck. To listen to the rest of this interview, check

00:30:27.580 out the full show podcast, the one and only, uh, Gary Buechler is on nerd roddick is what

00:30:37.680 he is known as. Uh, and he has been hysterical, uh, on the new, uh, star Wars series from Disney

00:30:47.200 plus called the acolyte. I haven't seen it, but I have heard about it and I have heard my

00:30:54.360 friends talking about Gary and, and his conversations on it. Disney is actually blaming him for the,

00:31:04.460 you know, the loss of credibility on that new space thriller of the space lesbian, which is,

00:31:10.740 um, and, uh, YouTube has actually, uh, dinged him, uh, and is giving him strikes because he's

00:31:22.160 a hate monger because he doesn't like the lesbian, which is in space. Gary, you're here to answer 0.80

00:31:27.740 for yourself, brother. What's happening.

00:31:29.840 I'm here. I'm here to answer for my sins against Disney. Thank you for having me on Glenn.

00:31:35.960 Yeah. Uh, and that is happening to, uh, it's, it's not, it's random, but it's happening to a lot

00:31:42.720 of YouTubers and commentators. And I'm not sure if you're aware, uh, the star, a manless Stenberg,

00:31:48.140 uh, yesterday, uh, released a diss track against star Wars fans, and she is copyright claiming and

00:31:55.940 dinging everybody on YouTube at the next as well for her blatant attack on the star Wars fandom, 1.00

00:32:01.580 which is always, you know, just a great strategy that's, Oh, by the way, never worked.

00:32:07.440 Yeah, I know. It's really great. Look, I'm a star of this new show from, you know, just this

00:32:13.880 legacy that had been loved for 50 years. Uh, and I'm a big star Wars fan, but all the star

00:32:20.940 Wars fans, they really suck a lot. They really, they're crazy. They, they don't know, uh, you 1.00

00:32:27.960 know, talent when they see it, they don't know a good storyline. Yeah. That's the way to attract

00:32:32.420 those, those, those loyal viewers every single time. Um, I saw the, uh, rotten tomatoes, the,

00:32:39.680 the, uh, the, uh, the experts tell us that it's absolutely fantastic. 84%. Uh, the average

00:32:49.180 audience score is 14. That's a bit high. Yeah. So tell, tell us the story first. What is the

00:33:04.060 story? Oh, the story of the acolyte is, as you said, there is a coven of lesbian space 0.95

00:33:11.020 witches, uh, who magically conceived identical twins without a father through a power of not

00:33:18.740 the force, the thread of, by the way, somebody called Darth Povich because the twins don't 0.98

00:33:23.900 look anything like mom. They don't have horns. Uh, and they were split up, uh, at, uh, at the 0.98

00:33:32.280 age of like, uh, it was like eight or nine and they haven't seen each other for 16 years

00:33:37.620 yet. They have identical haircuts. Uh, really? What are the odds of the haircut thing? Really?

00:33:46.100 That's crazy. Well, uh, you know, a good hairstylist keeps her secrets. So obviously she isn't telling

00:33:53.580 either one that they're going to the same one, but, uh, before, before we get into more of

00:33:59.940 the lesbian space, which thing, which I think America and the world's been crying out for,

00:34:04.000 for a very long time. Um, tell me who, uh, tell me who is in charge of this, uh, disaster in space.

00:34:11.500 Who did they get to, to, uh, run this former personal assistant to Harvey Weinstein? Leslie

00:34:18.060 Hedlund, uh, is the head writer on this show. Yeah. I know it's shocking that somehow somebody

00:34:25.180 connected to Harvey Weinstein can get work. Yeah. I would think they would be in the federal

00:34:32.080 witness protection program myself. Um, but they might even turn them down. Um, the, so she,

00:34:38.420 she found work after being the personal assistant. So the one that was lining up all of the, 1.00

00:34:45.580 you know, hotel room meetings and everything else. She's now the head writer of the lesbian space 1.00

00:34:53.320 switch show. She is, I think the term is Judas goat. Uh, I think that's, uh, she got a job by 1.00

00:35:01.080 begging for it on the red carpet. Uh, when she was famously asked, what's your favorite star Wars?

00:35:06.060 And she's said all the star Wars, obviously not knowing a single thing about it. Uh, later she's

00:35:12.020 come out and claimed that she does. And she's written this entire story that not only passed the

00:35:18.440 Bechdel test, uh, it passes any DEI requirement with flying colors for lack of a better description,

00:35:25.540 but, um, go ahead. So ultimately it's, it's the story Glenn, uh, what, what Disney loves to do

00:35:35.320 is conflate whatever happens on Twitter, uh, and any kind of complaints with like real criticisms

00:35:43.000 of this show. And ultimately, despite all the obvious, uh, quote unquote diversity, which is just

00:35:50.120 meant to exclude, uh, well, white men, let's be real. Uh, and it's just a bad story that destroys

00:35:57.780 the lore. And that's what star Wars fans are mad about. Uh, it goes back to the past and it undercuts

00:36:03.100 Anakin, uh, his entire redemptive arc, uh, the specialness of Anakin and the prophecy. Uh, and the,

00:36:11.200 every time they release another minute of Disney star Wars, I can't even call it star Wars. It's

00:36:16.420 Disney star Wars on D plus it destroys more lore. And that's what the fans are upset about. The

00:36:23.180 thing is, this has been going on for years going, this is what you can, you can take it all the way

00:36:27.300 back to the most awakens. And, uh, it, it seems to, uh, come to a head on this show for some reason,

00:36:35.040 when I think it probably could have come to a head a five other times, six other times.

00:36:41.200 Um, but why this one? I mean, are they just, I mean, have they just been like, well, you know

00:36:48.500 what? We've tried subtly to kill this thing. Let's just finally kill it. Right. Uh, they,

00:36:54.580 they found a way to kill something again. Uh, it's, it's pretty amazing. Uh, I would argue that

00:37:00.980 the Obi-Wan Kenobi show was much worse as far as destroying lore. Uh, Obi-Wan was supposed to,

00:37:06.440 his sole purpose was to watch Luke and they had a show where he takes off on Luke twice,

00:37:11.200 follows around a little baby princess Leia who never mentions meeting him as a kid and,

00:37:16.820 uh, fights Darth Vader twice. So it really shouldn't surprise anybody, but I guess this

00:37:22.620 show is this one. Oh, go on. No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We have a delay and I'm, I'm, I forget.

00:37:30.820 I'm so excited to talk to you about this. The, um, the, the, the, the, I never thought I would

00:37:36.100 be in a position of defending metachlorians, but this one kind of throws all of that out, right?

00:37:45.040 It kind of does. I personally am not a fan of metachlorians and, and never will be, but

00:37:52.140 absolutely hate it. But like, I guess Disney star, Disney star Wars has proven things can

00:37:57.900 always get worse. And, uh, uh, the biggest victory, uh, comes with the prequels. Like the

00:38:04.180 prequels are now looked at much more fondly than they were before. Thanks to every bit of

00:38:09.340 Disney star Wars Lucasfilm is created. Uh, but with this show in particular, it's just

00:38:16.020 hit the zeitgeist because I would equate it to the Marvels from last year. It was just

00:38:20.320 so predictably bad. And then it was, and then it still beat our XR very lowered expectations

00:38:27.040 of how bad it would be. And it's, it's a show. If you see it, it's contradictory. It like

00:38:33.500 you have characters contradicting each other. Uh, none of it actually makes any sense in

00:38:39.260 for storytelling wise, you, you spend two, your first two episodes, establishing a character.

00:38:44.400 Then you go into a flashback for an entire episode that really doesn't tell you anything

00:38:48.780 new. And then the last episode was 27 minutes long without, you know, previously on in credits

00:38:54.840 and nothing happens. Absolutely nothing happens. Oh, and by the way, Glenn, it cost $180 million

00:39:00.460 to produce. Oh my gosh. What, what is, what has happened to, to Disney? I mean,

00:39:08.680 besides all of the, uh, you know, DEI crap, um, they just, the greatest storytelling company

00:39:18.320 ever cannot seem to tell a story anymore.

00:39:24.820 No, they, they are creative bankruptcy personified now. And they were on the top when Bob Iger

00:39:32.500 decided to buy a bunch of franchises and everybody was calling him this massive genius when he just

00:39:38.160 went on a shopping spree and never bothered looking into what it takes to cultivate these franchises

00:39:44.720 and keep them around what it took to keep them around for decades. You know, it's not being

00:39:48.880 talked about as much, but they have a doctor who show that they are now in charge of running along

00:39:54.920 with Acolyte and they're both, it's a race to the bottom with both of these. Oh, I love doctor who

00:40:02.020 and there's, so do I, there's, when did Disney buy into doctor who? How did the B, I hate the BBC,

00:40:10.020 but how did the BBC even let that happen? Well, they're about to cancel it because, uh, the first

00:40:16.940 female doctor, uh, played by Jodie Whittaker, by the way, uh, wasn't a hit like they suspected and 1.00

00:40:22.580 Oh no. What a surprise. Yeah. What a shock. So they decided to bring back Russell T Davies who had

00:40:28.780 brought the show back in 2005 and it was extremely good and popular and it's just proof you can't go

00:40:34.640 home again. And how much has changed in entertainment Glenn, uh, post 2016, you have the guy who originally

00:40:42.500 brought it back, made it a worldwide sensation, making some of the worst doctor who now. And of course

00:40:48.460 it's filled with things like pronouns. And, uh, we had, uh, not, it's not even the first like male,

00:40:55.760 uh, kiss, uh, you know, gay kiss in doctor who, but they, they, they gave this one to the doctor 0.82

00:41:01.980 and made it more prominent with the first black gay doctor. And that's, that's what they're in this 0.97

00:41:06.280 trap now, instead of giving the fans what they want and just making good entertainment, they have to

00:41:12.560 abide by, you know, in the B the BBC started this much earlier on back in 2012. Yeah. The

00:41:18.180 diversity and inclusion initiative, which is all the DEI stuff. And it prevents them from telling a

00:41:23.960 good story. They have so many rules on themselves. So, uh, with the corporatism to go back to Disney

00:41:30.180 with the corporatism, they really can't take chances anymore. Uh, and this, this even goes beyond woke

00:41:37.040 entertainment. They just need to have this built in audience to spend money on anything. And in my

00:41:42.840 opinion, overspend and what makes things insane is they paid so much money for this built in audience

00:41:51.400 that they immediately decide to piss off. Not only with their storytelling, they come out and gaslight

00:41:56.580 the fandom with a term that's a real term called fan baiting, which is to start controversies online.

00:42:03.520 So people are talking about their show. And again, I haven't seen an example of this ever working,

00:42:09.280 but they've been doing it now for seven or eight years.
