The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Sen. Mike Lee & State Rep. Mesha Mainor ｜ 7⧸21⧸23

00:00:00.400 Hey, it's a great Friday broadcast. We bring you everything that you need to know about Chuck Grassley and the FBI documentation that really kind of doesn't look good.

00:00:12.080 Also, Bill O'Reilly is here. He tells us he doesn't think that Joe Biden will make it to the end of the year.

00:00:17.380 We have some breaking news on Fox News, an exclusive story that it really kind of hurts to share, but I think it's important you know what's happening at Fox News.

00:00:31.520 You can find that story at glenbeck.com, and it's also on today's podcast.

00:00:35.800 That and so much more on today's podcast brought to you by Sweatblock.

00:00:40.900 Hi, I'm Glenn, and I'm not Jeffy.

00:00:44.460 Jeffy. Jeffy sweats like a pig. 0.98

00:00:48.340 And if you've ever seen a pig sweat, well, you probably don't know because they roll around in the mud, so they're always wet. 0.95

00:00:54.340 But believe me, they sweat a lot, and so does Jeffy.

00:00:58.320 That's why Jeffy and pigs recommend Sweatblock. 1.00

00:01:03.600 Now, it's kind of like Irish Spring, made for pigs, but I like it too. 1.00

00:01:09.400 Uh, I have, uh, well, I'm sweating now, and there's no reason, because I'm in an air-conditioned room.

00:01:16.500 But that's just the lovable kind of character I am. 0.93

00:01:20.260 Yeah, a little pig in me, too. 0.92

00:01:22.340 And I use Sweatblock.

00:01:23.840 May I recommend Sweatblock?

00:01:25.520 When you use Sweatblock, I use the wipes, and I'm telling you, you don't, you don't sweat like you normally do.

00:01:32.480 You don't smell, and it can, it can last days.

00:01:35.600 For me, it lasts about a week.

00:01:37.520 Try their wipes.

00:01:38.560 It's a completely different experience in antiperspirant and deodorant.

00:01:42.920 It's Sweatblock.

00:01:43.980 Go to sweatblock.com, use the promo code BEC, and save.

00:01:47.320 Sweatblock.com slash BEC.

00:01:49.660 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:04.000 Our nation, it's obvious, is in trouble. 0.97

00:02:08.700 Our president is feeble and increasingly feeble-minded. 0.99

00:02:13.480 And all indications are that he is wildly corrupt. 0.97

00:02:22.940 What happened yesterday in the House hearings is shocking, to say the least.

00:02:30.440 I mean, we have all the documents.

00:02:33.460 I gave them to you two years ago to show you that all of this stuff was going on.

00:02:38.220 But now to hear it in front of Congress under oath and to see the paperwork actually being introduced to Congress and to the United States is shocking that no one seems to care.

00:02:50.980 Especially as we are on the war path with the same country he was involved in.

00:02:58.960 Somebody who is very on top of this and very concerned about war powers and everything that we're doing right now is Senator Mike Lee.

00:03:08.960 And he joins me now to discuss it.

00:03:12.060 Hi, Mike.

00:03:12.620 How are you, sir?

00:03:14.460 Doing great, Glenn.

00:03:15.480 It's good to be with you as always.

00:03:17.840 Thank you.

00:03:18.320 So, Mike, first, let me get your read on what happened yesterday with Grassley.

00:03:23.260 How important or damaging or not important is that?

00:03:28.420 Well, look, these forms, this form, this documentation that Senator Grassley released, it's got a lot of detail in it.

00:03:35.960 Detail that is going to help lead an investigation, help prompt more investigations into exactly what happened and into what these whistleblowers have to say.

00:03:45.580 It is fascinating, though, how many media outlets, or I should say how few media outlets, are having anything to do with it.

00:03:52.680 It's like a non-story.

00:03:54.180 Rather, talk about something entirely different.

00:03:56.880 Anything, anything other than this.

00:03:59.240 I mean, they'd rather write an article about National Sofa Care Month and the best ways to celebrate it than they would talk about this form.

00:04:06.900 So, you tried to get the Senate to reinforce what the Constitution says, that a treaty, a NATO treaty, does not cut the Congress out.

00:04:23.980 It's not an act of war.

00:04:25.960 A treaty will say that an attack on one is an attack on all, but Congress then needs to act to declare war.

00:04:34.440 Right?

00:04:35.320 That's right.

00:04:36.100 That's right.

00:04:36.640 And, in fact, it's a very simple amendment.

00:04:40.160 This amendment was offered by Senator Rand Paul in connection with the National Defense Authorization Act.

00:04:46.420 And he and I worked in tag team formation to get our colleagues on board.

00:04:52.200 I really thought this one would be a pretty easy lift, especially with Republicans, but probably with a whole bunch of Democrats as well.

00:05:00.280 In fact, one could argue that it should have been an even easier lift with Democrats.

00:05:04.920 Republicans love the Constitution and talk about it a lot.

00:05:08.140 Some Democrats do, too, in those same terms.

00:05:11.540 And a lot of Democrats have historically been war suspicious, war leery.

00:05:17.260 Correct.

00:05:17.900 So that should be good for this.

00:05:20.060 But, Glenn, we got only 16 votes.

00:05:22.180 Only 16 votes in the entire United States Senate.

00:05:27.040 There are 100 of us, of course, who are willing to vote for an amendment that simply says, if we're going to go to war in defense of a NATO ally, that doesn't supersede the need under the Constitution for Congress to grant an AUMF or, you know, pass a declaration of war.

00:05:47.100 Only 16 members voted for it.

00:05:50.060 Now, one might have thought that their reasoning would have been, well, it's of course this is true.

00:05:58.200 It's obvious that the Constitution isn't superseded.

00:06:01.660 But no, as I was whipping this on the floor of the Senate, person after person would say something like, oh, no, we've ratified the NATO treaty.

00:06:11.600 And Article 5 of the NATO treaty makes it clear that we've got to go to war with these people.

00:06:17.860 Well, it doesn't.

00:06:19.000 What?

00:06:19.320 It doesn't, Glenn.

00:06:20.580 Article 5 of the NATO treaty just says we have to, that we will decide what steps to take to stand up for and defend the sovereignty of a NATO ally that has been attacked.

00:06:35.360 And then Article 11 of the NATO treaty makes clear that every nation, not just in ratifying, but in implementing the terms of the NATO treaty, needs to go through its constitutional processes for doing stuff that it does in connection with the treaty.

00:06:52.340 It could not be clearer, Glenn, nor could it be clearer that you can't deem a provision of the Constitution undone simply by a treaty.

00:07:02.700 That doesn't work.

00:07:04.340 And yet only 16 votes out of 100.

00:07:08.160 So, Mike, I am so concerned.

00:07:10.440 We're talking to Senator Mike Lee.

00:07:12.260 Mike, I am so concerned, you know, that the paper that Grassley put out and even our own internal investigations, which took us a year to do two years ago, shows that Biden, at least his family, and I believe Joe Biden and others within the Democratic Party, 0.98

00:07:31.080 are deeply involved in corruption in Ukraine were sending billions of dollars over one of the guys that is actually listed as saying that the president's son is dumber than the CEO's dog.

00:07:47.460 He now is a chief advisor of Zelensky.

00:07:52.960 I mean, I am very concerned that we are involved in something that is enriching people that we don't know and that there could very well be deals made to get us involved in war.

00:08:07.340 I mean, you can't have a president and you can't have a Democratic Party and then apparently warmongering Republicans all hepped up on going to war when you have these kinds of questions out there.

00:08:23.860 We're going to be sending our sons and daughters to die.

00:08:27.140 For what? 0.63

00:08:27.900 For what?

00:08:30.460 For what?

00:08:31.360 And when and why and under what unholy circumstances might this relationship have started back when Joe Biden went over to Ukraine and instructed that the prosecutor be fired, apparently. 0.99

00:08:46.800 The same comment about which he later reflected, well, I told him they had to fire the prosecutor and, well, son of a bitch, they fired him. 0.98

00:08:58.460 What prompted that? 0.99

00:08:59.460 Jeez.

00:09:01.080 What prompted that?

00:09:02.140 What happened three months earlier that prompted him to do that?

00:09:05.280 And what sequence of events was set in motion then that might be influencing, inevitably would be influencing, what's happening now?

00:09:18.480 And so, look, the House committees looking into this are doing yeoman's work on it.

00:09:24.700 I wish we'd be doing those same things in the Senate.

00:09:26.780 We certainly would be if Republicans had the majority, and we certainly should be, even though we don't have the majority.

00:09:34.200 And yet the Democrats are whistling past the graveyard on this.

00:09:38.340 Meanwhile, the mainstream media, which is essentially their press operation of the Democratic Party, is saying nothing.

00:09:49.000 I have some disturbing news in about an hour we're going to release.

00:09:56.140 We're giving Fox a chance to respond so we can include their response in our reporting.

00:10:03.340 But I have an exclusive story in about an hour that is so disheartening on Fox.

00:10:08.400 It is just it's.

00:10:11.300 They are gone as an ally to the average person, I think.

00:10:15.620 And now we need voices more than ever before.

00:10:23.080 Last week, Mike, you were trying to figure out the ordering of the selected reserve when we called them up to, you know, stand up for the NATO operation on Ukraine.

00:10:37.740 We looked into it, and the only time this has happened is before a major skirmish or war.

00:10:44.500 Are we that close to war?

00:10:46.420 It really does worry me that we could be.

00:10:50.440 This is the kind of thing one might do if one had reason to believe that we were that close to war.

00:10:57.660 It doesn't mean that that's exactly what's happening, but it's hard to read it other ways without some sort of indication from the White House, from the Pentagon, that that's what's going on or that that's what we could be facing.

00:11:12.060 And it's not like they would be fully inclined to tell the country in advance of whenever they decide they're ready to tell the country that.

00:11:21.760 And so that's why those two events, that that troop mobilization order that you were just mentioning, coupled with this week's odd vote.

00:11:33.440 On which there had oddly been a lot of lobbying done with members.

00:11:44.040 Do you know who weighed in affirmatively on that vote that we were just talking about?

00:11:49.160 The Department of Defense.

00:11:50.440 No.

00:11:50.800 Why the heck is the Department of Defense lobbying on something like this?

00:11:53.960 Why the heck is the Department of Defense coming out with its own position on this?

00:11:59.120 They are not the custodians of the Constitution.

00:12:02.020 The people are.

00:12:03.440 And the people's elected representatives in the House of Representatives and in the Senate have an obligation, having sworn a note to the Constitution, to do their own thing.

00:12:14.220 Boy, if that's not Eisenhower's warning coming true, that is amazing. 0.97

00:12:22.160 Military-South Rose Complex.

00:12:23.880 Yep.

00:12:24.740 Oh, my gosh.

00:12:26.580 This is terribly disturbing.

00:12:27.720 Why the heck is the Department of Defense taking a position on this amendment?

00:12:33.440 Who benefits from that?

00:12:36.880 And who could be harmed by that?

00:12:39.320 And what sane person would ever think that it was even relevant, much less persuasive, what the Department of Defense thinks about the U.S. Constitution?

00:12:51.300 Look, the Department of Defense has done a lot of things to make the American people safe.

00:12:56.040 I'll grant them that they're good at doing a handful of things that only they can do.

00:13:01.200 And by a handful of things, I mean military things.

00:13:04.600 That's what they're good at.

00:13:06.520 But their expertise is certainly not, you know, telling us what the Constitution means.

00:13:12.620 And I don't think they should be given, like, top billing.

00:13:18.140 They should be neutral.

00:13:21.180 They should be neutral.

00:13:23.600 They work for the people and the Constitution.

00:13:27.240 For them to come out and have an opinion on what the Constitution says is not their place at all.

00:13:35.160 And I will tell you, Mike, you're right to be suspicious.

00:13:38.740 The military-industrial complex, somebody is making a lot of money right now.

00:13:43.860 And I don't think it's the good people of Ukraine. 1.00

00:13:48.920 Thank you for putting up the fight that you do every day, Mike.

00:13:52.220 I appreciate it.

00:13:53.020 I know you get a lot of heat from the media.

00:13:55.620 And most of them are lies.

00:13:57.240 In fact, I think all of them are lies or half-truths about you.

00:14:00.920 I'm really glad that you're in the Senate.

00:14:03.260 Thank you for keeping up the fight, Mike.

00:14:04.860 Thanks so much, Glenn.

00:14:09.280 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:14:10.980 And we really want to thank you for listening.

00:14:13.640 Georgia State Representative, now a Republican, Misha Maynor, is joining us now.

00:14:19.100 Hello, Misha.

00:14:19.780 How are you?

00:14:21.060 I am great, Glenn.

00:14:22.440 Thank you for having me.

00:14:24.540 Thank you.

00:14:25.380 I just wanted to get you on.

00:14:26.920 I don't know how much we even agree on.

00:14:29.200 But I believe that a healthy country is one that has people who have reasonable disagreements.

00:14:36.840 As long as you agree on the Constitution's Bill of Rights, I'm on your side.

00:14:42.520 Why did you leave the Democratic Party?

00:14:46.760 I left the party for several reasons.

00:14:49.140 There were several bills that have come through over the past three years that I completely disagree with the Democrats on.

00:14:56.340 And those bills are some core values for them, meaning education, public safety, and systems over people.

00:15:05.420 I fundamentally do not agree with their stance.

00:15:08.720 I fundamentally agree with the Republicans on their stance with that.

00:15:13.680 But what's more important is I don't like political propaganda.

00:15:18.880 Now, yes, both sides may do it.

00:15:21.560 But when it comes to my constituents, we don't have the opportunity to have political propaganda be an oversight to what is really going on when it comes to kitchen table issues.

00:15:36.060 And so that is ultimately why I change parties.

00:15:38.480 So what do you mean by kitchen table propaganda?

00:15:43.760 Meaning we, well, the Democrats will talk about January 6th as if that impacted the kids in the schools failing, right?

00:15:54.360 Ninety-seven percent of the kids in my school cannot read.

00:15:59.380 That is a problem.

00:16:00.340 Two percent have math.

00:16:02.680 Ninety-seven.

00:16:03.560 That's what I said.

00:16:04.220 Three away from a hundred percent.

00:16:06.040 So if you don't believe that children like that need an option, we have a fundamental disagreement where I cannot stand with you any longer.

00:16:18.320 The other thing is defunding the police.

00:16:21.500 It's interesting.

00:16:22.740 I had a conversation with another radio show earlier this day, earlier today.

00:16:28.880 And he said Democrats do not, did not support defunding the police.

00:16:33.160 I said they don't now, but they did.

00:16:38.680 And when the bill in Georgia was out to defund the police, I, again, did not vote with the Democrats on that.

00:16:46.180 I voted with the Republicans.

00:16:48.040 I don't support defunding the police.

00:16:50.280 No one in my community supports defunding the police.

00:16:52.880 And now that everyone realizes we do not need to defund the police, now the Democrats will say, we never said that.

00:17:02.080 But that is absolutely not true.

00:17:03.920 Oh, my gosh.

00:17:05.360 I can't.

00:17:06.660 I just can't take the lies.

00:17:08.680 You know, I can disagree with people and we can have a good, healthy conversation on that and walk away friends.

00:17:14.320 I cannot take the lies and the way I mean, the African-American community has been in many ways enslaved by the Democrats.

00:17:26.000 They just have been brainwashed into believing that the Republicans are all evil and they're going to, as Joe Biden said, put you back in chains.

00:17:38.840 And the Democratic policies are good for the black community.

00:17:42.880 That may have been true at one point.

00:17:45.060 I don't think it was, but it might have been true at one point.

00:17:48.440 But it is certainly not true now.

00:17:50.820 It's killing the inner cities.

00:17:52.680 I agree.

00:17:54.360 And a Bible scripture that I give people is Exodus 14, 9 through 14, where people are enslaved and they tell Moses, please, let us stay with our slave master.

00:18:09.140 We do not want the chance to see what opportunity is.

00:18:13.400 We would rather stay slaves.

00:18:15.960 And unfortunately, people were slaves.

00:18:20.020 Right.

00:18:20.240 And so it is, if you have a system that is continuing to enslave your spirit and your mind, we end up right where we are.

00:18:31.420 And so I'm asking minorities, black Americans in particular, look around you.

00:18:37.240 There's not a Republican.

00:18:39.000 There's not a white person that has been over your local school board, at the county commissioner's office, at the state legislature.

00:18:48.720 So we cannot blame Republicans or white people for what is happening in our communities.

00:18:55.580 It has been black Democrats that have been leading the policies where you live. 0.99

00:19:01.440 So you are, I mean, you are the devil now with, with, with Democrats. 0.98

00:19:12.980 I mean, the messages that you have received, you know, calling you the N word, saying that you're following blindly, a stain on society that needs to be flushed.

00:19:26.800 An Uncle Tom B, a Jemima MF trader.

00:19:32.840 I mean, you, the hatred is beyond understanding.

00:19:39.300 It is beyond understanding coming from the party of tolerance.

00:19:46.540 I think that is showing America how intolerant Democrats are.

00:19:52.440 So it's important for people like you and your listeners to go to my website, MishaMaynor.com, because I have a battle ahead of me.

00:20:02.100 I need your support.

00:20:03.220 I can't do it alone.

00:20:05.060 It's hard to take on an entire system nationwide.

00:20:09.720 It's not just Georgia.

00:20:11.540 You know, I'm receiving hate messages from across the country from Democrats, but I'm going to fight.

00:20:18.460 I'm going to fight for what's right.

00:20:20.420 Um, I'm pretty sound in my convictions, you know, sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

00:20:28.700 I'm confident in who I am.

00:20:30.420 So they can call me anything they want.

00:20:32.620 Um, I know who I am.

00:20:34.240 My family knows who I am.

00:20:36.160 My, my children know who I am.

00:20:38.780 So I'm praying for them.

00:20:41.000 That, that is the most important thing.

00:20:44.820 I know when I started this, I had a long conversation with my children and I said,

00:20:49.920 dad's going to be saying things and it's going to be ugly.

00:20:54.060 And, you know, I just want to know, you know, who I am and you never forget who I am.

00:21:00.260 Cause there's going to be all kinds of things said about me that aren't true.

00:21:03.880 Some are true, but most of it is not.

00:21:06.440 Um, Misha, um, as you go into your constituents and you meet the people on the street, et cetera, et cetera,

00:21:16.400 we know what the, the, uh, the real strong activists are saying.

00:21:23.740 What are your constituents saying to you?

00:21:27.500 Great point.

00:21:28.560 They are saying representative Maynard, we support you.

00:21:31.820 We don't care what alphabet is next to your name.

00:21:34.680 You have been in our community helping us.

00:21:38.000 Um, no one has brought light to issues in the past 50 years until you came into office.

00:21:44.420 So we wholeheartedly support you.

00:21:47.300 The other thing is for every one hate mail, um, there are 100 letters of support.

00:21:54.760 And so my community is behind me.

00:21:59.220 It's going to take some education.

00:22:01.140 Um, what people, I need to let people know is that in November during the general election,

00:22:07.840 you may not see my name on your primary ballot and that's okay.

00:22:13.180 But when it comes to November, you have my name there and you have my option and you can

00:22:18.660 switch sides just like they did with Herschel Walker and Warnock.

00:22:25.920 Misha, um, you know, there was a story that I read about you.

00:22:29.240 But it says you become the first black Republican woman in state legislature.

00:22:32.680 And I think, um, that is so, uh, misleading.

00:22:37.160 It is absolutely true, but it is misleading in the way it people just think that they're,

00:22:44.380 you know, in Georgia, there would never be a black Republican in the 1860s and seventies.

00:22:51.300 I think there was, what did I say earlier, Stu, 72 black Republicans that were part of the

00:22:57.440 Constitutional Convention and the legislature in Georgia.

00:23:00.760 I mean, if you were in the South and you were Republican back in the day, uh, you were most 0.88

00:23:07.560 likely black.

00:23:09.040 And it, it's just in those years, uh, you know, starting in maybe in the twenties and thirties

00:23:16.080 that things started to change.

00:23:17.680 Um, but the Republican party, when they're at their best and, and being who they're supposed

00:23:27.400 to be, they were the champions of the little guy.

00:23:30.440 They were the champions of freedom.

00:23:32.120 They were the champions of, of, uh, freedom for all men.

00:23:36.900 Absolutely.

00:23:39.700 And I would even say it's more recent than the twenties and thirties.

00:23:43.940 I think, you know, with Lyndon and Kennedy, that kind of changed the tide of, um, black 1.00

00:23:51.540 folks, if you will, turning from Republican to Democrat.

00:23:56.300 So, and also with the Roosevelt, um, but yeah, you're right.

00:24:00.920 There are more than just black. 0.90

00:24:03.320 I'm not the only black Republican in Georgia.

00:24:07.880 So by far, I'm not.

00:24:09.860 In fact, you know, it's stigma.

00:24:12.260 I told in my press conference, for whatever reason, there's a stigma to be a Republican. 0.78

00:24:17.320 If you're black, it's a stigma to be gay. 1.00

00:24:19.820 If you're black, and it's a stigma to commit suicide. 1.00

00:24:22.960 If you're black, those are three things in black culture. 1.00

00:24:25.840 You just cannot do. 0.99

00:24:27.860 Um, and I hope, I hope so too.

00:24:32.840 Misha, thank you so much.

00:24:34.880 Um, stay strong, um, and thank you for speaking your mind and following your conscience.

00:24:42.320 Appreciate it.

00:24:43.560 Thank you.

00:24:44.640 MishaMainer.com.

00:24:45.780 And I appreciate you.

00:24:47.500 Okay.

00:24:48.600 MishaMainer.com is her website.

00:24:51.020 And she does have quite a fight. 1.00

00:24:53.720 Uh, she'll be fighting the entire democratic party. 1.00

00:24:56.840 Uh, MishaMainer.com.

00:24:58.740 Thank you, Misha.

00:24:59.440 Appreciate it.

00:25:00.020 I want to introduce you to somebody who was worked in the media for 15 years.

00:25:08.920 Her career began.

00:25:11.260 Do we have any like storytelling music, Sarah?

00:25:13.900 We could use on her career began in a traditional broadcast media in Canada as a reporter for a Christian news magazine that aired on network television.

00:25:24.460 She wrote columns for national newspapers that appeared in the sun and national post.

00:25:30.440 You may not have heard of them, but Canada has heard of them and her.

00:25:35.080 She produced rule breakers such as Ezra Levant and Gavin McGinnis and John Stossel.

00:25:41.380 In 2016, she made the leap from Fox News to conservative digital media, where she built a Washington, D.C. bureau and led programming and production for Mark Levin's CRTV, which later you might know became Blaze TV.

00:25:58.920 She's now director of programming for Blaze Media, executive producer for our networks and our live events like the summit that you saw in Iowa last Friday.

00:26:07.580 And despite what Stu may say, she's the executive producer for all Glenn Beck content.

00:26:13.740 Ladies and gentlemen, Ricky Ratliff-Fellman.

00:26:17.580 Hi, V.

00:26:18.580 Hello, Ricky.

00:26:19.700 Hi, Glenn.

00:26:21.440 Hi.

00:26:21.960 So, not to make you more nervous, because I know you were vomiting here just a few minutes ago before we went on the air.

00:26:28.420 Don't worry, you, me, 10 million people and Fox News.

00:26:33.920 And you are going to break an exclusive that, honestly, you worked at Fox News.

00:26:40.780 I worked at Fox News.

00:26:42.460 Bill said, Bill O'Reilly was on today, and he said he's just heartbroken at what's happening to them.

00:26:49.440 But this is a really big deal.

00:26:51.660 Can you tell the story here of what we have been informed that is going on?

00:26:59.220 Yes.

00:26:59.620 Thank you for that lead up.

00:27:01.320 That definitely helped my nerves.

00:27:02.820 Sure.

00:27:04.280 In all seriousness, though, I'm going to give a disclaimer.

00:27:06.440 So, I worked at Fox from 2013 to 2016, and I really did enjoy my time there.

00:27:11.140 I would not be doing what I'm doing today here at this network if it weren't for the experience that I got there.

00:27:16.940 Around April, or whenever the Dominion News came out, and then the Tucker News came out, I started to have some nervous Fox News staffers reach out to me.

00:27:29.760 And understandably so.

00:27:32.220 I think what happened to Fox with the Dominion lawsuit is probably unfair.

00:27:36.740 There were legitimate criticisms of Dominion's technology that were led by mainstream news and Democrats prior to the election and election certification.

00:27:46.900 So, all that to say, I don't think that's what's happened to him.

00:27:50.720 It's fair, but I do understand why staffers are nervous and have reached out.

00:27:54.840 Well, and earlier this week, I got a tip from a former staffer about a program inside the company's HR portal, and I could not believe it.

00:28:06.180 I said, no way.

00:28:07.220 No way.

00:28:07.780 I don't.

00:28:08.360 This is too absurd.

00:28:10.100 I have to see this with my own eyes.

00:28:12.240 And so, I started to reach out to some sources inside Fox News.

00:28:19.780 I have three, two who are current employees at Fox, and one who is a former producer at Fox.

00:28:27.840 And all of them have loved working there.

00:28:29.960 They are all missional employees, meaning that they are driven by the values of, yes, the conservative audience, the Fox's core audience.

00:28:38.280 So, I was given a video tour of the company portal.

00:28:44.840 So, I watched them log in with their ID, and they went to what's called a Foxgiving app.

00:28:51.420 Inside the company portal, let me paint a picture.

00:28:53.800 You can see Slack.

00:28:54.740 You can see other apps that people would use for their workday.

00:28:58.220 And then there's this other app called Foxgiving, and it's actually put together by a third-party app called Benevity based in Canada.

00:29:07.520 But through it, employees can search for their favorite charity, and they can make a donation, and Fox will match up to $1,000 annually.

00:29:19.400 And the charities that they brought to my attention, they're not what you might consider to be a typical charity.

00:29:28.500 Like, when you think charity, you think Samaritan's Purse.

00:29:31.400 Mercury won.

00:29:32.400 And, yes, those charities are on their website.

00:29:34.960 You can donate to them if you're a Fox employee, and Fox will match up to $1,000.

00:29:39.940 So, maybe you'll see something from that at Mercury won, Glenn.

00:29:42.920 But there are some other organizations that were there and available for employees to donate to.

00:29:48.540 That shocked me.

00:29:50.640 I'd like to call up some graphics.

00:29:53.560 Let's go to Planned Parenthood.

00:29:56.620 So, there's a Planned Parenthood graphic.

00:30:01.520 Hopefully, if you're watching on Blaze TV, you can see exactly what I was shown in the portal.

00:30:07.860 And the employee input, like a dollar amount.

00:30:14.240 And you can see there that Fox has 100% donation matching for Planned Parenthood.

00:30:19.540 A little bit antithetical to some of the things that they espouse on air about pro-life causes.

00:30:24.020 But, anyways, let's now go to the Trevor Project.

00:30:27.660 That's also an option.

00:30:30.200 For those of you that are unfamiliar with the Trevor Project, they help promote LGBTQ services.

00:30:37.620 And they are most recently known for supporting legislation for what they call gender-affirming care.

00:30:45.040 But what Fox's core audience would refer to as child gender mutilation.

00:30:49.820 I'm going to go to a real fun one.

00:30:51.460 This is kind of ironic.

00:30:52.720 You can also donate to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

00:30:55.680 This is ironic because Southern Poverty Law Center has referred to many of the Fox News hosts as hate mongers and as Fox News is a hate-filled organization.

00:31:10.800 Many of the hosts have been attacked by Southern Poverty Law Center.

00:31:14.000 There are many good hosts at Fox who have done reporting on them and have uncovered just how they are, in fact, hateful.

00:31:20.780 So, that's bizarre.

00:31:22.200 You can actually read more of this in our exclusive.

00:31:26.640 You can find it at glennbeck.com right now.

00:31:30.220 It's our exclusive on these whistleblowers.

00:31:34.060 And then my favorite charity, I use quotation marks if you can see this on BlazeTV, blazetv.com slash Glenn.

00:31:42.440 Use code DumpVox for 30 off.

00:31:44.660 My favorite here is, I like to call it Satanic Temple 1.

00:31:48.960 Yes, you can donate to...

00:31:52.760 The Satanic Temple.

00:31:54.620 And they will match 100%?

00:31:57.080 Yes.

00:31:58.720 So, you can go to this charity, which, by the way, full disclosure, they say that they don't worship Satan.

00:32:06.820 They are just Satanists.

00:32:09.000 They also...

00:32:09.720 What do you think Satan would say?

00:32:12.900 God.

00:32:13.780 I haven't asked him.

00:32:14.600 I try not to talk to him much.

00:32:16.400 Yeah, okay.

00:32:17.180 But one of my favorite things that is actually not highlighted in this graphic is in this app, it says, cause website.

00:32:26.700 It lists the hyperlink to the satanictemple.com. 0.87

00:32:29.680 And then find more causes in Salem, Massachusetts tagged with, I, crap you not, religion, Satan, Satanic.

00:32:37.600 So, if there's any FOX staffers that are, you know, in the mood to donate to a charitable cause like the Satanic Temple, you can do that, and FOX can match that up to 100%. 0.55

00:32:48.780 Yes, and there should be a follow-up.

00:32:52.160 Yeah, you're seeing there where the staffer input $1,000, and we were able to see that, in fact, the system does show that it's eligible for matching.

00:33:00.900 You know, you can say a lot of things, and we reached out to FOX, and the reason why we didn't break this earlier is because we wanted to give FOX enough time to respond.

00:33:11.520 And my expected response, they didn't respond, but what I would expect them to say is, this is a third-party company, and we don't have anything to do with that.

00:33:21.480 However, I know my company, Mercury, would not do it.

00:33:26.740 The Blaze would not do that.

00:33:28.600 The minute we would see that you could donate to the Satanic Temple, our values would say, no, we're not going to.

00:33:40.060 And if we have somebody that wants to give to the Satanic Temple, you know, maybe we should have a meeting, because I don't want a lot of Satanists walking around FOX News.

00:33:49.940 It is, to me, this is just another deep example of how FOX News has changed and has sold themselves out to the ESG movement.

00:34:03.320 The real answer on this is they're probably not Satanists.

00:34:07.380 I'm pretty sure of that.

00:34:08.660 Although, listen to my interview with Tucker Carlson on God.

00:34:13.240 But they have sold out to the woke culture, and they are not the people that were on a mission for so many years.

00:34:23.660 Can I jump in here?

00:34:24.380 I just want to read some of the quotes that I got from these sources.

00:34:27.580 They say FOX pretends to care about Christians, but some of the stuff they push internally suggests otherwise.

00:34:33.400 Glory holes, strand surgeries for kids, and potential donations to Satan are a huge slap in the face to every Christian at the company and we resent it.

00:34:41.000 There's another staffer that said,

00:34:43.020 It became clear certain things weren't going to be tolerated on air anymore after Tucker was gone.

00:34:47.420 We were told, lay off Dylan Mulvaney.

00:34:49.980 That's the famous TikToker who got Bud Light destroyed, incidentally. 1.00

00:34:54.620 Once I realized we couldn't say certain things on air anymore, I started to dig more into the reality of the corporate views.

00:34:59.600 Another staffer said, they intimated that FOX has capitulated to the woke left.

00:35:07.380 And they're saying it's driven by the HR, corporate, lawyers.

00:35:11.660 There are a lot of good hosts and good people that work there that really believe in the values and are aligned with their core audience.

00:35:17.500 But they said,

00:35:18.240 A lot.

00:35:19.240 Right.

00:35:19.620 They're saying this is a means of signaling to whatever ESG police are out there to say,

00:35:24.700 Don't come for us.

00:35:26.680 So, these people, these sources, I thank them for trusting me.

00:35:31.380 They were terrified to talk, and they have loved working there.

00:35:36.580 However, they hope by telling this story, they don't do this with glee, that FOX will maybe course correct, at least internally.

00:35:45.240 I highly doubt it.

00:35:47.300 By the way, you can find this story at glennbeck.com.

00:35:50.900 This is an exclusive at glennbeck.com.

00:35:52.900 Also, we urge you to dump FOX, to wake up and support.

00:36:00.680 If it's not us, maybe it's the Daily Wire.

00:36:03.160 Maybe it's, I don't care who it is.

00:36:05.320 If they are giving you the truth, and they are risking giving you the truth every day,

00:36:11.020 and they are not complying to the woke culture, please support them.

00:36:15.980 If you choose that being Blaze TV, we welcome you.

00:36:19.560 And we have a promo code good today for 30% off.

00:36:23.520 It's dump FOX.

00:36:25.140 BlazeTV.com slash glenn.

00:36:29.600 Ricky, thank you so much.

00:36:33.100 I say my pleasure, but that was painful.

00:36:39.340 Well, you weren't alone.

00:36:41.200 I think the audience felt that too.

00:36:42.920 Na na na na.
