Transcript
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.
00:16:12.000
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
00:17:03.780
sticker right now in honor of the summer Olympics. When you subscribe to good ranchers, they're going

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
00:20:04.620
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?
00:21:03.400
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
00:23:38.800
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
00:27:15.880
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,
