00:00:00.000 Today is probably one of the weirdest days, but the last four weeks, six weeks has just been
00:00:09.420 unrelenting. But this one really gets to the core of where we're going and how important this
00:00:18.880 election is, because we have just had an independent reporter that works with Matt
00:00:25.480 Taibbi, expose what the Democrats did in the last election and then brought into the White House.
00:00:32.320 They have been targeting you. If you've ever spoken out and said, he's too old to run, or
00:00:38.280 you know, I don't like Kamala Harris's gun policy, whatever it is, they've deemed that
00:00:45.420 misinformation and they go out and they try to change your mind without you knowing it by
00:00:50.940 manipulating the World Wide Web. It is 1984, and Tulsi Gabbard is on to tell us what happens
00:01:00.780 in 1984. It's an important podcast today. Next.
00:01:08.980 First, Patriot Mobile. You and I have a lot of work to do in this country, and it seems like the battle
00:01:13.840 is always uphill, especially when it comes to fighting against the left's constant efforts
00:01:18.080 to destroy America from within. But hope persists, and one of the things you can do is patronize
00:01:24.460 the businesses who are not trying to destroy us, not trying to tell us how horrible we are,
00:01:29.580 but who stand for the same principles that you and I stand for. The parallel economy we've been
00:01:34.940 building, it's made up of businesses who don't hate what you stand for, like the Constitution and
00:01:40.440 Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. Right now, you can switch to Patriot Mobile,

00:02:31.480 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. I want to get right to a story
00:02:46.000 that is extraordinarily disturbing. It should be. Now, we have Tulsi Gabbard on in about an hour.
00:02:55.300 Tulsi Gabbard has been targeted, and we know now because of a whistleblower. And what's crazy,
00:03:01.460 is this whistleblower is actually in trouble now with the TSA. They're going after the whistleblower
00:03:09.360 instead of listening to the whistleblower and saying, whoa, wait a minute, that's out of control.
00:03:14.360 The top of TSA is now going after the whistleblower. What happened to Tulsi Gabbard? She'll tell you
00:03:21.140 about it in case you don't know in about an hour from now. I believe we have an update on that story
00:03:26.740 as well. This is the latest about how Biden and Harris kept everything silent.
00:03:39.320 Zoom call videos following the 2020 election cycle show Biden-Harris staffers reveal how they
00:03:45.900 manipulated disinformation to hide then-Democratic candidate Joe Biden's cognitive decline from
00:03:52.940 voters. I want you to understand, they are asking you to trust your finances, your job,
00:04:00.780 your children, to people who have been manipulating and lying to you since 2020.
00:04:08.700 Former Biden-Harris campaign digital director Rob Flaherty, now presumptive Democratic nominee,
00:04:15.720 Kamala Harris's deputy campaign manager. So this isn't a guy who's been discredited.
00:04:20.260 He's just been exposed, and he's now the deputy campaign manager for Kamala Harris.
00:04:28.940 They created a program, and it was revealed on this Skype call or the Zoom call that the
00:04:39.160 Democratic National Committee, the DNC, created a program to detect, track, and have social media
00:04:47.640 platforms flag misinformation narratives, including online discussions about Biden's mental fitness
00:04:55.400 for public office. These videos showed a Zoom call that Flaherty had conducted with Hope, Not Hate.
00:05:05.880 That is a U.S.-based, or sorry, a U.K.-based activist group that is, its mission is to stop far-right extremism.
00:05:16.600 So in this Zoom call, Matt Ophelia, who is an independent journalist, revealed that whatever they deemed
00:05:28.760 to be misinformation, they could court it off. Flaherty said, misinformation narratives include
00:05:36.920 conversation online about corruption. Think of that. This is your federal government and your
00:05:45.360 Democratic National Committee putting a program together. Hell, this is during the campaign.
00:05:51.960 Imagine imagine what they have now. Putting a program together to target you. If you said, I don't know,
00:06:01.720 is he fit to run? Flaherty called the program one of the smartest things orchestrated by the Democratic Party.
00:06:10.660 A news release from May 2021 said he had been announced as the DNC counter disinformation program's lead
00:06:28.180 analyst in recent months. Then Biden for president, director of rapid response,
00:06:35.280 who later became the Biden administration's White House deputy director of digital strategy,
00:06:42.160 took part in the call as well. And she said that there was a massive amount of disinformation
00:06:47.820 relating to Biden's mental fortitude. She explained that people were making posts related to topics
00:06:55.500 deemed disinformation, and they were targeted in real time based online, based on their online
00:07:04.580 behavioral cues, building out personas based on the kind of content that you were consuming
00:07:12.180 and that you were searching for, and the kind of websites you were visiting. Do you understand what
00:07:21.800 they are now been caught red-handed doing? They are monitoring every keystroke you make.
00:07:31.880 If you say something out of line with what the state wants you to say, this is KGB stuff.
00:07:40.760 If you speak out of line, then what happens? Well, DNC said, quote, we targeted folks based on online
00:07:50.680 behavioral cues. We built out the personas based on the content they were consuming and searching for,
00:07:56.120 the kinds of websites they were visiting, so we could target those folks in real time as they were
00:08:02.840 exposed to that. So if you went to glennbeck.com and you got a story or the blaze and you got a story
00:08:10.840 and you passed it and it was anything the state disagreed with, which is pretty much everything that we have
00:08:17.120 printed. You were targeted and things were put into your feed. They took the helm of the program and the
00:08:27.260 reports were sent to the highest levels of the Biden campaign, according to Flaherty. The program is still
00:08:32.600 listed on the DNC's official website. Durgin remains employed by the DNC going on six years now, according to
00:08:40.000 his LinkedIn page. He previously worked a few months for data visualization, and he worked on Hillary
00:08:49.040 Clinton's campaign. What a surprise. Now, in this call, the head guy said at least 200,000 votes that Biden
00:09:01.520 received in 2020 were due to the program. The Democratic president won the states of Arizona, Georgia,
00:09:09.360 Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, by less than that, all put together.
00:09:19.760 They were touting how effective this system was. Quote, the risk and the hit concern around mental
00:09:27.960 acuity in particular went down by eight points. You realize if you can sway something by eight points,
00:09:39.220 the power you have because they do. Now, think of this. Remember how we were all told that it is a
00:09:49.320 conspiracy theory that these videos about Joe Biden coming out, they were all just manipulation. Those
00:09:56.780 were deep frauds. Do you remember that? Didn't say deep fakes. They were deep frauds. And as they're
00:10:02.860 telling us that they have to police us for mis-dis- and mal-information, they told us that he was fine,
00:10:11.460 that he was top of his game. There wasn't a problem. And anybody who is saying that is engaging in
00:10:20.420 disinformation. And we've got to do something about this disinformation.
00:10:23.640 disinformation. And then we all saw him. The entire world watched him during the debate.
00:10:33.740 And within minutes, all of that was gone. Within minutes, they all said, yeah, boy, he's really bad.
00:10:42.560 You know, I've been hearing that for a while. In fact, I didn't say anything. I saw him six months ago
00:10:47.080 and he was really bad. All of a sudden, it was okay to question his mental acuity. And so they did
00:10:54.040 to the point to where they operated a coup on him.
00:10:58.180 Let me show you what this is going to mean. Let me just go over to Europe. In Europe, the crown
00:11:18.840 just posted, think before you post. And then the stop hand. Content that incites violence or hatred
00:11:30.660 isn't just harmful. It can be illegal. The crown protective services, online violence.
00:11:39.840 It takes online violence seriously. And it will prosecute when the legal test is met. Remind
00:11:49.220 those close to you to share responsibility or face the consequences. You can be arrested for
00:11:59.580 posting online and prosecuted and put in jail and they're doing it.
00:12:07.800 Now, how bad does it have to get on the other side? Well, they just, they saw somebody speaking
00:12:16.360 out and they're like, you know what? I, this is, we should, we should go get this guy. Ricky Jones,
00:12:21.180 he is on the Dartford Borough Council. He's a member of the Labor Party. He felt comfortable enough to go
00:12:29.340 on stage and say, these people, meaning the far right. These people are disgusting, nasty fascists
00:12:38.680 and we need to cut all of their throats and get rid of all of them. He then slid his finger across his
00:12:48.240 neck and then led free, free Palestine. But if you post anything, be careful because the crown
00:13:02.200 will come and get you. All you have to do is just go along. I mean, don't you know Politico has done a
00:13:13.240 hard-hitting piece. Tim Walls' camo cap is more important than you think.
00:13:21.260 Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walls is making casual wear a political boon.
00:13:28.800 That's the reporting from Politico. Don't get sidetracked on all this. They are lying to you
00:13:38.280 and have been lying to you for years. You have been made to feel alone. You have been made to feel
00:13:45.400 like an idiot, extremist, a racist, sexist. You've been made to feel guilty about things. You've been
00:13:52.660 called un-American. We've been called all of these names and more because we believe in the Bill of
00:13:58.260 Rights and that men are men, women are women, and our children shouldn't be made into tools for
00:14:04.300 politics. Drag queen story hours. No, that's beneficial to your kids. We've been told we are
00:14:10.840 haters and book burners. Book burners, what comes to mind? Of course, Nazis. We have been told we are
00:14:17.700 conspiracy theorists because we believe that there is a deep state, that it is out of control, that it
00:14:23.680 is partnered with others in and out of the government. The revolving door between Silicon Valley
00:14:29.200 and the CIA. It's obvious. Trying to influence your thoughts, your voice, your mind. Trying to keep
00:14:37.260 you quiet. We've been saying this for years and they have lied to us over and over again. Do you feel
00:14:44.280 manipulated yet? There is no DEI. There's no CRT. Oh, that's just a racist trope. Biden is fine. He's at the
00:14:52.440 top of his game. These riots are mostly peaceful and grassroots. They're, I mean, after all, it's only
00:14:59.280 BLM Inc. We're not coming for your gas stove or your heater or your car. Afghanistan. Now, that withdrawal,
00:15:07.860 that was a raging success. The Inflation Reduction Act. It's actually about inflation. It's not. The WEF,
00:15:17.380 the Davos meetings, they're just fun ski trips. They don't have any power. They don't do anything.
00:15:23.760 Gee, we really don't know how Trump was assassinated.
00:15:33.540 This election is all about the government and the deep state. There is one guy who has been standing up
00:15:44.420 and taking every single lie and hit because he is right. He is standing in the way to get to us.
00:15:54.380 You want this kind of manipulation? You go ahead and vote for the DNC and it will only get worse.
00:16:01.340 It is so deeply entrenched in our government now. It's got to stop.
00:16:06.420 And I see one way out.
00:16:12.000 I've, I don't like campaigning for people and I'm not campaigning. I'm just telling you the truth.
00:16:18.040 There is one guy and it's Donald Trump. And this is your last chance, America.
00:16:26.720 All right. Let me tell you about our sponsor quickly. The meat you're buying at the store.
00:16:30.580 Where does it come from? If your, if your answer isn't, well, right here in America,
00:16:35.300 you need to switch to good ranchers. Now you might think you're buying meat from America because
00:16:40.580 it has a little may a product of the USA. That means nothing. That is such, that is a miss or
00:16:50.220 mal information. Quite honestly, you can put that sticker on. If the cows and the meat were imported
00:16:56.980 from China, as long as it was cut into steaks here in America, then it can have the little flag

00:18:07.100 podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. And don't forget, rate us on iTunes.
00:18:12.580 Hello, you have reached the Department of Public Safety stay-at-home hotline. The information you
00:18:22.080 leave is considered public information. At the tone, please leave the following information. Your
00:18:27.560 name, your callback number, how the stay-at-home order is being violated, and where the stay-at-home
00:18:34.580 order was violated. Thank you. Record your message at the tone. When you are finished,
00:18:40.580 hang up or press pound for more options. Hey, you know what, Tim Walls, you should absolutely
00:18:47.180 run for vice president because, you know, we love this kind of snitch on your neighbor thing. That
00:18:53.300 is audio that was put together by the state of Minnesota by Tim Walls who said, you have to tell
00:19:01.400 us if somebody is breaking any of the rules, you have to tell us and then we'll take care
00:19:06.000 of it. That is terrifying. Absolutely terrifying. Now you look at what is happening. They are
00:19:12.840 encouraging you to snitch on a neighbor, but at the same time, they are taking any whistleblower
00:19:19.040 and destroying them. There was a breaking story that happened yesterday. Several federal air
00:19:26.480 marshal whistleblowers came forward with information that the former congresswoman, Tulsi Gabbard,
00:19:33.540 presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, is now enrolled in the Quiet Skies program. Now, it's described
00:19:42.580 as a TSA surveillance program with its own compartmentalized suspected terrorist watch list.
00:19:49.800 What the hell does that mean? They are coming after the whistleblowers and Tulsi is with us
00:19:57.700 now. Tulsi? Tulsi, are you there?
00:20:03.080 Hi, can you hear me?
00:20:04.620 Okay, yes, I can hear you. I just got the statement from the TSA. You tell me what this means.
00:20:10.640 TSA uses multi-layer security processes to protect the nation's transportation systems to ensure freedom
00:20:16.900 of movement for people and comrades. TSA's Quiet Skies program uses a risk-based approach to identify
00:20:23.140 passengers and apply enhanced security measures on some domestic and outborne international flights.
00:20:28.320 To safeguard sensitive national security measures, TSA does not confirm nor deny whether any individual
00:20:34.780 has matched to a risk-based rule. These rules are applied to a limited number of travelers for a
00:20:41.120 limited period of time. Simply matching to a risk-based rule does not constitute derogatory information
00:20:46.840 information about the individual. That's the response that we get when we say,
00:20:52.500 was Tulsi Gabbard on this, as the whistleblowers have said, and what are you doing about it?
00:20:59.460 How do you respond to that?
00:21:03.400 This makes no sense. It makes no sense. And worse than that, it exposes, it exposes so much about
00:21:12.700 what is broken in our government. When you listen to that, and I've read the words, and I've heard it
00:21:22.220 said a few times, a risk-based approach. So I am someone who, like a lot of Americans,
00:21:30.440 enlisted because of 9-11. I've served in the Army now for over 21 years, enlisted because of 9-11 to go
00:21:37.880 after the Islamist terrorists who attacked us on that day and who continue to pose a threat to us
00:21:43.660 today. I've deployed to three different war zones over these last 21 years, most recently in Africa
00:21:52.540 with special forces, focused on working with the Somali government to defeat the Islamist terrorist
00:22:00.320 group, the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Al-Shabaab group there. Deployed to Iraq in 2005 during the height of the war,
00:22:06.760 and to now be in a place where my own government under this administration, the Biden-Harris
00:22:14.980 administration, is now using the TSA, using air marshals, using TSA canine teams, using both plainclothes
00:22:27.240 and uniformed agents to surveil me in my movements because they deem me as a risk and a potential
00:22:36.740 domestic terrorist. To say that this is hurtful, Glenn, is beyond the pale. That doesn't even begin to
00:22:50.000 describe how this makes me feel. And I also know that I am certainly not the only veteran or service
00:22:59.760 member who they have chosen to put on this list because this administration has said, as recently
00:23:06.120 as last year in 2023, but also shortly after they came into power, that they deem those who serve in
00:23:13.660 the military as likely to be domestic extremists and terrorists.
00:23:20.560 So, Tulsi, do you think it's your service or the fact that, I mean, Hillary Clinton called you a Russian
00:23:30.700 asset? I mean, she was, I believe she was Secretary of State when she was saying that. You are a Russian
00:23:38.300 asset.
00:23:38.800 So, I can't begin to place any kind of logic or rationale in their insane, tyrannical thinking
00:23:50.620 and what is driving their actions other than what we've already seen proof of over these last four
00:23:57.840 years is they will weaponize any levers of power they have within the government to go after those who
00:24:04.340 they deem to be a threat to their power, who they deem to be a political opponent. They see those of us
00:24:11.780 who rightly criticize our government and their corruption and their abuse of power as a domestic
00:24:19.660 threat. They say so publicly. They say, hey, those who criticize public institutions may be domestic
00:24:26.020 extremists or terrorists. So, this goes against the core of our First Amendment, right?
00:24:34.340 Which our founders intentionally put in place to ensure our protected speech, whether we be
00:24:40.740 praising the government or we be criticizing our government. That is core to the founding of who
00:24:45.660 we are as a country. And so, not only, the only assumption that I can make is that they are coming
00:24:52.700 after me because of my speaking the truth in revealing who they really are. And again, these are some of the
00:25:01.060 most powerful people in the Democrat Party, a party that I was part of for, you know, almost 20 years. I cannot think of
00:25:11.500 any other reason for them to be targeting not only me, but my husband. And also, just, it's important to note that
00:25:22.280 while we have been going through this and are going through this, the reality that I now face
00:25:27.960 and that we now face is this constant stress of knowing that I am being surveilled by my government
00:25:37.540 and wondering if and how they are doing that. How are they monitoring my movement? Are they listening to my
00:25:44.020 phone calls? Are they reading my emails and text messages? Forever from here on out, looking over
00:25:50.180 my shoulder constantly. And there is no way to live free when I know that my government may be surveilling
00:26:02.020 me, uh, and, and not, not, and knowing that they have no hesitation in weaponizing whatever they can
00:26:11.180 get their hands on, uh, to go after someone they deem a threat. It, it, it, it reminds me of the Stalin,
00:26:17.560 the Stalin approach of, you know, uh, what is it? Find, find me the man and I'll show you the crime.
00:26:24.060 I'll show you the crime. Yeah. Yeah. It is, um, uh, and especially that it's happening to you,
00:26:29.660 uh, well-known person, former, um, candidate for president. You were, uh, Congress, uh, Congresswoman.
00:26:37.240 You, you also are still serving in the national guard for them to target you, um, is, is really,
00:26:45.680 truly remarkable because what do you think they'll do, uh, to the average person and anybody who ever
00:26:50.520 said, I don't care if they're surveilling or listening or whatever, because I'm not doing
00:26:54.780 anything wrong. Really? Let me just play again. Um, this is, this is the guy who is now in charge of
00:27:02.780 the digital for Harris. Um, and this is him in 2020 saying what they did to flag misinformation
00:27:12.520 and change people's minds. Cut six.
00:27:15.880 We brought Becca on to sort of think through, okay, now that we have these misinformation narratives,
00:27:24.120 what do we actually do? Um, like, uh, uh, it is, it is one thing to know that, um, there is a lot
00:27:32.840 of conversation online about corruption or, or, you know, mental fitness or, or any of these things,
00:27:38.280 um, or, or, um, you know, the vice president's record on the crime bill, um, which, you know,
00:27:43.780 was sort of a controversial, uh, piece of legislation in the early nineties. Um, but it
00:27:49.940 was, it was another to go, okay, now what? So what they did was they targeted you, the individual,
00:27:57.800 if you ever talked about the crime bill, which is not misinformation, as he said, it's controversial,
00:28:02.440 but it's not misinformation. The president's fitness to serve, that's not misinformation.
00:28:07.880 You were lying to us for four years. Uh, and what, what, what was the other one? Uh,
00:28:13.080 uh, um, I don't remember the other one, but all three of those are true and they targeted you as
00:28:21.040 the individual. Now take that one step further. If you don't change your mind, don't they Tulsi
00:28:27.000 Gabber you don't they Tulsi Gabbert you? I mean, I hate to make you into a verb, uh, but you might
00:28:34.460 turn into that Tulsi. Hopefully not. This is exactly, this is exactly why they do this, uh, because of the
00:28:42.840 chilling effects that it has. Um, you know, when you look at that clip, they're talking about
00:28:49.660 misinformation or disinformation, obviously, as you pointed out, those things were actually true,
00:28:54.800 but let's, let's say it was misinformation or disinformation that is protected speech under the
00:29:02.800 first amendment that is protected speech and should not, and must not be grounds for our government
00:29:09.360 to try to censor or silence us, or frankly, to surveil what we are doing and where we are going.
00:29:16.340 Uh, you know, they, they are unwilling to reveal the factors that they deem to be a risk. I still,
00:29:23.000 obviously this is now, uh, the whistleblowers have leaked this. It is public information. I have seen
00:29:28.460 with my own eyes, the proof that, that I am on the quiet skies list. It's not just one person's word.
00:29:34.780 Um, and, and yet no, no one from, from, uh, the federal government has, you know, from the Biden
00:29:43.080 Harris administration has reached out to me and to say, Hey, anything, Hey, we made a mistake or,
00:29:48.780 Hey, here's the risk or, Hey, here's the concern or nothing. Zero. Uh, it, it, this cuts to the core of
00:29:57.560 our first amendment, right to free speech, including our right to criticize our own government
00:30:03.620 and our fourth amendment, right to privacy. Uh, both of those are what is at the core of the
00:30:09.760 unconstitutional nature of what they, what they are doing to me. And by the way, my husband is also,
00:30:17.780 uh, has been experiencing and subjected to the same thing for what he, he's not involved with politics.
00:30:23.600 He's not, he's not engaging in any kind of, uh, uh, you know, not that it would matter,
00:30:29.100 but any kind of political protest, he's a filmmaker. Um, it's not just about me. And I think this is the
00:30:35.380 point. No American deserves to live in fear of our own government, whether it's surveillance or
00:30:42.560 retaliation. If you say something or do something that they don't like, uh, and, and this is why they
00:30:48.360 have to be stopped because we cannot live in a free, we cannot live free and in a free society.
00:30:54.860 If we are constantly being monitored by our own government in the same way, an inmate in prison
00:31:01.780 is monitored by the prison wardens and guards. Yeah. The Opticon, uh, where you're constantly
00:31:10.920 monitored and watched was actually deemed cruel and unusual punishment. Uh, but, uh, like that matters.
00:31:18.360 Today, um, Tulsi, thank you very much. I tell you, I have a, I have, uh, you know, they're targeting
00:31:24.400 Donald Trump to teach people like me and others, sit down, shut up. You're on the other side. We'll
00:31:29.920 do anything to you. Um, it only makes me want to fight more. I think that there's a possibility that
00:31:35.380 you were targeted because you're a Democrat or were a Democrat and you spoke out about what was
00:31:42.260 going on in your own house. And, uh, you know, I think there's Democrats all over that would like to
00:31:47.640 stand up, but you know, are you going to, are you going to get the same treatment that Tulsi
00:31:51.700 got or is it worth it? The answer is yes, by the way, but just another thing.
00:31:57.000 The answer is yes, but the fact that, but the fact that it will have the chilling effect that
00:32:03.240 they are seeking because, you know, I mean, I I'm questioning what, what are the things that I may
00:32:09.520 say or the things that I may do or the, the, the truths that I expose, how much will my family
00:32:16.780 have to suffer as a result of that? What is the cost and the price that those around me will have
00:32:22.480 to pay for this? Uh, it is a very, it is, has a very real effect, uh, on us directly. Uh, as we are
00:32:31.280 now, you know, we, we, we've known about the weaponization of our, of our governments against
00:32:35.500 political opponents. We've seen it happening to Donald Trump. Uh, now I'm experiencing it directly
00:32:41.000 and others who may not be experiencing it directly are listening to our conversation now
00:32:46.660 and, and having that second thought of self-censorship, which is exactly the result that
00:32:52.800 they're looking for. And we can't, we, we, they, they must be stopped. That's the bottom line.
00:32:57.540 They must be stopped. Tulsi, thank you so much. Thank you. Um, you know, my family,
00:33:03.620 my family was attacked for same, same thing. This, I mean, I, I don't get into it, um, for
00:33:11.700 reasons that maybe someday I'll talk about. Um, but, uh, they came after my family as well. Uh,
00:33:17.640 and, uh, you're not going to bet, you're not going to bend us. You're just not going to bend
00:33:22.840 us. Don't change. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:33:28.940 You know, it's important to point out, by the way, thank you for buying the book. Um, uh,
00:33:45.440 chasing embers is it's a dystopian, um, look at our future, uh, or a possible future where the
00:33:53.480 government has been taken by, uh, public private partnerships and it's a dystopian 15 minute
00:34:00.980 city and what that's like and how truth is no longer found. And these teenagers is important
00:34:06.980 to point out that this book is not just fiction. It's young adult fiction. Um, we are getting a lot
00:34:11.940 of listeners who are reading it and loving it again, all kinds of letters from adults who
00:34:16.080 are reading it and loving it. Um, but it's, it's made for, um, you know, you're, you're 15,
00:34:21.460 you know, uh, 15 year old in the house that, uh, that likes to read. Uh, it's important that
00:34:28.480 we get the next generation. We have already lost two generations and we are going to pay
00:34:34.460 dearly for it, but the generation coming up is the most conservative in a very long time
00:34:40.640 and we cannot lose them. Kirk Cameron knows this better than anything else. He's actor
00:34:46.660 and producer and just a really good follower of Christ. Uh, and he has, um, put together
00:34:53.460 brave story hour, uh, dot com and here to tell us a little bit more about it. How are you,
00:34:59.440 Kirk? Hey Glenn, I'm doing fantastic. Uh, great to talk with you. Good to talk to you. So, um,
00:35:07.080 what should we talk about first? Uh, you've got a new book coming out, right? Born to be brave.
00:35:12.860 That's right. That's right. Really excited about that. Um, kind of sharing what I've been learning
00:35:17.840 and some things that have been transforming me over these last two or three, uh, um, you know,
00:35:23.980 dystopian world, um, pre precursor, uh, events that have been happening in our country. And it's
00:35:30.900 helping me to have courage and, and bravery and faith and compassion. So this is a book, uh, for
00:35:38.940 adults. This is not a kid's book. This is you and, and trying to encourage the rest of us to be brave.
00:35:46.700 Yes, exactly. You know, as I, as I was traveling the country, reading children's books of faith and
00:35:52.620 hope and love in public libraries, contra the drag queen story hours, uh, we're having thousands and
00:35:58.360 thousands of parents show up with their kids. Grandparents show up and they're the ones that
00:36:04.080 I'm seeing the fear in their eyes, right? The kids aren't sure what's going on, but the parents do.
00:36:09.620 And I recognized that they're the ones that need wind in their sails. They need hope like they need
00:36:16.040 air. And so I wrote a book about the things that have been giving me hope and courage. And, um,
00:36:22.060 I'm asking people the question, you know, those of us who are members of the family of faith,
00:36:26.540 have you considered that perhaps this cultural setback is really a divine setup for a cultural
00:36:33.880 comeback, a spiritual comeback led by the family of faith. And I think that it is with all of my
00:36:41.540 heart. And now's the time for us to lean in and draw down on the promises of God for the sake of
00:36:48.000 heaven and the sake of our children's future here on earth. Yeah. You know, I, I feel that way. And then
00:36:55.020 you, then it kind of ebbs and flows a little bit, but I mean, it's got to start from outside of the
00:37:01.260 church. Uh, any of these, uh, great awakenings always start outside of the church because our
00:37:06.840 churches, all of the pulpits are pretty silent. Uh, and you know, and the people know that, and
00:37:12.680 that's why, um, uh, great awakenings are so exciting because they're, they're not pushed top
00:37:19.160 down. They come from the bottom up. That's right. And, and Glenn, that's why I'm so thankful for you.
00:37:24.160 That's why millions of us are thankful for you who, um, who, uh, announced the truth. You're a
00:37:29.800 watchman on the wall, but then you're giving people encouragement and tracks to run on at the
00:37:34.740 grassroots level. And that's what I'm trying to do as well. I've been inspired by many of the movements
00:37:39.460 that, that you have started. And, uh, one of the things that I'm, I'm really trying to do
00:37:44.800 is give people an opportunity to get off the couch, stop crying in your Chick-fil-A soup,
00:37:51.040 get involved with your children's world as a parent and as a grandparent. It's not time for
00:37:56.980 you to check out and collect seashells on a beach in Florida for the rest of your years. It's time
00:38:01.820 for you to help the next generation succeed in faith and family and in, uh, national politics.
00:38:09.740 So I've got this event coming up this summer called see you at the library.
00:38:14.000 It's our spin on see you at the pole. So rather than meeting at schools to pray,
00:38:20.160 we're asking families to meet at libraries, to sing the national anthem and songs of worship,
00:38:26.080 pray and read books of Christian virtue and character. We did it last summer and sent shockwaves
00:38:33.260 through the libraries, uh, had over 300 public story hours in 46 different States. We're looking
00:38:40.520 to two X that this August. Uh, some protesters are showing up and they're already calling it
00:38:46.620 Kirkpocalypse because they hate that hundreds of library story hours hosted by parents in the name
00:38:55.420 of faith, hope, and love and constitutional values are taking the nation by storm at this event on August
00:39:02.920 24th. So they're trying to stop it, but this is exactly what we want to see.
00:39:07.820 I will tell you, as you look at this, the States that are hosting the most story hours,
00:39:12.600 uh, Texas has 32 story hours, which is kind of disappointing because Texas is gigantic,
00:39:18.400 but what's more surprising is California has 17 Minnesota has 11 story hours. That's not a
00:39:28.640 comfortable place to do that. And they're standing up. That's right. And they're crying out. Even the
00:39:35.420 hurting States are crying out for a change and a return back to the American biblical constitutional
00:39:43.220 values that will lead to our blessings. So I'm, I'm, Oh, I'm inviting Gavin Newsom,
00:39:48.220 the governor of California to come to a story hour and hear about the blessings that, uh, I'm sorry,
00:39:54.580 the values that will lead to the blessings of his state. Uh, I just moved to Tennessee and I am so
00:40:00.340 excited to be, uh, banding together with people of like mind so that we can learn how to create
00:40:06.820 communities around faith and family and freedom, and then take it back to the coasts. So this national
00:40:13.140 event, we're inviting everybody to come. And, uh, Glenn, if I could just tell people, if you want to be a
00:40:18.660 part of see you at the library, uh, just go to brave books.com and there is a map of the entire
00:40:26.480 country, find a story hour near you and join them or host a story hour. And we'll send you a story
00:40:33.640 hour toolkit with all the books to read the songs to sing, um, flags, American flags, bookmarks,
00:40:40.680 all the patriotic stuff to make it a, uh, a huge success.
00:40:47.480 Now I'm looking at the date. This is the 20th of this month, 22nd, the 24th of August,
00:40:54.900 the 24th, 24th of August. Okay. Um, and you're doing it in Washington DC, are you not? Are you
00:41:02.620 going to be at one of those? Yeah, that's right. I'm coming to Virginia and we've got lots of libraries
00:41:07.080 in DC area. And, uh, boy, there's no place I'd rather be. It's going to be in Loudoun County.
00:41:12.120 Uh, they're, they're, they're all loud over there and pushing the wrong kinds of values.
00:41:16.940 So we're showing up right there at ground zero. And, um, what's really exciting as well, Glenn is,
00:41:23.720 um, we aim to set a Guinness world record. We were inspired by drag Queens, uh, on June 1st,
00:41:31.320 the first day of pride month, Guinness world record chose to show up at the world's largest
00:41:37.060 drag queen story hour. And they had a whopping 260 people in attendance. We've already had 3000
00:41:46.200 at our very first wholesome family story hour. So we have invited them to come to document 500
00:41:55.080 public libraries hosted by citizens, reading books of virtue and character, singing songs of patriotism
00:42:03.560 and worship and thanks and praise to God. We'll see if they show up so far. They haven't returned
00:42:08.980 our phone calls and emails, but I know who is going to show up. And that's the hundred thousand
00:42:13.540 people across this country who are fired up about taking our country back to the place of blessing
00:42:19.640 and protection. Amen. Amen. Uh, Kirk, always good to talk to you. Congratulations on, uh, the success of
00:42:28.300 everything that you're doing. It is so critical that, uh, the projects that you are working on
00:42:33.300 are successful and we're glad to assist you in any way we possibly can. God bless you.
00:42:37.900 Well, thank you. You're a huge encouragement to us. Keep up the great work and, um,
00:42:43.100 thanks for all of your support, Glenn.
