00:00:41.680 the dog. If you have a couple of dogs, if you have a couple of dogs, the other one will

00:00:44.600 lick it off the other dog. My dog is the pickiest eater in the world in the world. But we put

00:00:52.200 Rough Greens on it. I think he's changing. You know what he did? I caught him eating

00:00:56.000 part of my wife's salad. We were sitting on the floor yesterday because our house will

00:01:00.980 be done in two weeks, you know. Oh, good. So we're sitting on the floor last night and

00:01:04.000 we both got up for a minute and he was eating the salad. And I'm like, what the? This is

00:01:07.800 Rough Greens. No dog eats salad. Right. Anyway, free bag of Rough Greens for your dog just

00:04:22.580 big tech, where's your love of democracy now? What can Americans do to help? Watch Cuban

00:04:29.160 Spring, debunking the left's lies about hashtag SOS Cuba. Tonight, 9 p.m. Eastern at

00:04:34.540 PleaseTV.com slash Glenn.

00:04:38.580 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program and the triumphant return of the guy who has known this for years.

00:04:47.940 Uh, one of the first, uh, Cuomo, uh, monologues Stu did was, is it just me?

00:04:55.360 Uh, he has been saying that he is, uh, Andrew Cuomo is just awful at Andrew Cuomo is just

00:05:01.980 awful.com. Andrew Cuomo is awful.com. Important to get that address. Right. And, uh, you've been

00:05:07.380 saying that not because of, of, you know, his handling of the COVID and killing, you know,

00:05:13.500 all the people in the nursing home or, uh, sexually assaulting women, uh, you said it

00:05:19.360 because he's just awful. Yeah. Well, it's interesting because it really, my obsession

00:05:26.880 with how terrible and awful Andrew Cuomo was really didn't stem from the nursing home thing,

00:05:32.300 which came later. Uh, I couldn't understand why he was getting credit for this incredible

00:05:38.620 handling of the coronavirus when, I mean, objectively he oversaw the worst coronavirus

00:05:43.880 response in America. And at that time, I think the world and you wonder like, why is he getting

00:05:52.580 praise for doing these amazing things? And you kept hearing what, how great his press conferences

00:05:57.600 were. And I was like, am I watching the same ones? Like, is he doing two a day and I'm catching

00:06:01.900 the bad ones? What is happening? And you know, you, you look at it and I think fundamentally

00:06:08.200 people look at it as, as this has advanced and said, okay, Andrew Cuomo was awful because

00:06:13.000 he killed thousands of people in nursing homes. That's a good argument. Yeah. Right. That's a good

00:06:17.400 argument. Andrew Cuomo was awful because he sexually harassed a bunch of people in his office.

00:06:21.140 Good argument. I think though it gets it reversed. It's, it's not that Andrew Cuomo is awful

00:06:27.120 because of these things. Andrew Cuomo is awful. And therefore these things occur. He at his core

00:06:35.060 is such a continually bad person at his core that these scandals are the obvious side effect

00:06:44.560 of this larger illness. That is Andrew Cuomo and his character. He's been a bad guy for a really long

00:06:51.640 time. He's been corrupt for a really long time. And the, the fact, I think a lot of this behavior,

00:06:57.700 like when you're out there saying you're an ally in the Me Too movement, well, like the next day,

00:07:05.520 these complaints, these harassment complaints, he was going and harassing these women days after making

00:07:11.000 big speeches about Me Too. You know, that sort of hubris only comes from an, an, a ridiculous amount

00:07:20.380 of power that he shouldn't have had a complete confidence that he would never get taken down

00:07:25.480 and an assistance by the media to a level that you can't possibly. Yeah. The Federalist had a, um,

00:07:31.840 uh, had a great take on this, that the one lesson, uh, that we should, uh, we should learn from Andrew

00:07:39.580 Cuomo is that he's not the problem. The problem really is the press because the press, I mean,

00:07:48.400 you think of Andrew Cuomo's life, his, his father was governor. So, you know, he had special privileges

00:07:54.400 all throughout his life growing up. Um, then he becomes governor. Nobody's saying anything,

00:08:01.160 uh, to him. He's already a spoiled child already expects to get his way because he's a Cuomo.

00:08:07.460 Uh, and he's also a very, very vindictive guy. The press decides just to get into bed with him.

00:08:15.220 The press knew about Harvey Weinstein. The press knew about Jeffrey Epstein. The press knew about,

00:08:22.780 uh, Andrew Cuomo. They don't actually care. All of this cancel culture stuff is bull crap. When it

00:08:30.100 comes to the press, it's bull crap. I wonder if he's going to lose his Emmy. They gave him an Emmy.

00:08:35.400 Will he lose his Emmy? No, because they don't care if he's doing this stuff and they like him.

00:08:45.360 It's fine. Yeah. It's interesting because that is the difference with Cuomo. They don't like him.

00:08:53.620 He is such a terrible guy and has been so terrible to the people around him for so long, like Harvey

00:09:00.660 Weinstein, that they were able to actually look at the facts of the story and not feel terrible

00:09:07.160 trying to take him down. Because I will say, while I agree with the federalists there, that the media

00:09:11.100 is a huge issue in this, there were some people who actually did go after, uh, Cuomo. And I don't

00:09:18.260 know that without the New York times jumping on the bandwagon, bandwagon, although very late,

00:09:22.960 I don't know that this stuff would have actually happened. I don't know that he actually deserves

00:09:28.340 a lot of the credit for this. Probably the most important person in making sure that this occurred

00:09:34.140 is Janice Dean. I mean, because, especially because, you know, you look at Janice who people

00:09:38.740 know from, uh, you know, she's been on TV for a very long time, but it's not a hardcore partisan is

00:09:44.860 not known for going after people in a negative way at all. I mean, her book is, is this like collection

00:09:50.440 of sweet tales of parents, like helping their sick children. Like it's like, she's like the nicest

00:09:55.520 person in the universe. Right. And the fact that she was out there saying these things

00:10:00.220 about Cuomo almost shocked the system. I think for a lot of people, wait a minute, this guy

00:10:05.000 really is doing these things. These are, this guy really is bad. She wouldn't, she, she had

00:10:08.960 no incentive to become a person out there being, she had a lot of incentive to not just keep

00:10:16.180 her mouth shut person, you know, and she didn't do that, which was vital. So take me through

00:10:20.040 because yesterday it was about, uh, I don't know, uh, 10 56, uh, the last couple of minutes

00:10:27.540 on air, he decides to come out and all the word is, is that he is not going to resign.

00:10:34.020 And he starts his resignation with, you know, look, I didn't do these things. And I thought,

00:10:40.360 and I said, cause we ran out of time. I said, looks like this guy is just going to hold on

00:10:45.820 10 minutes into it. He starts saying, so that's why I'm leaving. Yeah. It was really,

00:10:51.080 I think shocking to a lot of people. The first really big issue here was Melissa DeRosa resigning

00:10:57.060 and that happened on Sunday. DeRosa was like lead henchman, you know, for Cuomo. And, you

00:11:02.800 know, I, we're going to find out, I mean, I think there was a legal activity done by this

00:11:06.460 administration and they're going to have to go through all of this and sort it out.

00:11:09.480 So she's, uh, what's her name? Uh, Giselle, Matt, uh, Maxwell. No, yeah. Right. I mean,

00:11:16.260 you know, yeah, kind of, yeah. Like that person who was, again, Maxwell is accused of even much

00:11:22.540 more serious crimes, but she was the, she was the enforcer. She was the one who made it all go

00:11:28.360 away and, and, uh, she was the one greased the skids, berating employees, changing the nursing

00:11:33.940 home report so that it didn't tell the truth. Um, you know, all of these targeting Lindsay

00:11:41.120 Boylan, the first accuser and trying, you know, helping to try to ruin her life after she made

00:11:46.520 this accusation. Um, and she was super, super loyal, like the lead loyalist. And, um, you

00:11:53.960 know, I don't know if she was, uh, a really, is she a really terrible person? Was she completely

00:11:59.020 terrified too by Andrew Cuomo? I don't know, but she did all sorts of things that I think

00:12:04.700 are illegal or borderline illegal. And when she, she really was the biggest loyalist, the

00:12:10.500 fact that she stepped down was a huge signal that he was not going to be able to survive

00:12:16.080 this because it was as far as I knew yesterday morning, he was still telling people I'm staying.

00:12:23.100 He was still going back and forth after that. He, uh, what he was trying to, um, to,

00:12:29.020 uh, to figure out a way to, to, how can I cut a deal here? And, and trust me when I say this,

00:12:34.780 Andrew Cuomo didn't leave. He did not resign office. He realized he had no chance in staying.

00:12:42.480 He realized that this impeachment was going to throw him out of office anyway. And he's seeing

00:12:47.980 this as the best pass path forward for him because that's all he ever thinks about. So this was not him

00:12:55.680 resigning. Ah, you know what? I think I'm doing the right thing for the state as he

00:12:58.860 tried to pull off yesterday. So he's going back and forth deciding whether he's going to step down

00:13:03.320 or not. Again, just a personal calculation. Didn't they have an attorney? Yes. His attorney

00:13:09.720 was going to defend him. And she did. She came out for about 40 minutes and made an,

00:13:14.140 an extensive case as to why, uh, this, this report was one sided. And, you know, I mean,

00:13:21.280 I think you could make an argument that it was one sided. They didn't, I mean, they did include

00:13:24.840 some of Cuomo's answers to these questions. Uh, but like, you know, he, I, he, you, everything

00:13:30.740 you'd expect from someone who's going to defend this to the end. And he came out, she came out

00:13:37.300 and did this big presentation and, um, laid out, went through each individual accuser and

00:13:42.580 all the, all of that. And at this point, reporters are getting word that Cuomo has flown from Albany

00:13:51.260 to New York city where she's making this presentation. And they're like, are he's going to make an

00:13:55.720 appearance of some sort? Like he's going to come out and address this, but they had no sense for

00:13:59.960 sure that he was going to, um, resign. And he came out, he started his defense. He went through

00:14:07.960 his defense. He went through specific accusers and accusations and said, I didn't do these things.

00:14:12.040 They misinterpreted them. Uh, these women, you know, the, the, that just absolutely didn't happen.

00:14:17.100 You know, he made kind of the, the, the, look, I'm an old, the times have changed. These lines

00:14:24.140 have been redrawn. And I tell you, I swear it was just yesterday. I could pat, pat a woman

00:14:29.320 on the behind from the Steno pool. And it's like this ridiculous mad men defense. He keeps

00:14:34.480 trying. It's like, you became like, you became governor in the two thousands. Right. This is

00:14:39.880 not going to go back to 1870 when all of this was okay. And so he tried that thing. He's

00:14:45.940 trying Miriam was at the mimeograph machine. Yes. I thought she was doing a good job. I gave

00:14:52.240 her a little tap on the ass, a little goose for her good work. Yeah. And so he, he tried

00:14:57.860 that again. And so it looked like he was going through this whole process. And then at the

00:15:00.840 end, he just said, look, I think it's best for the state that I stepped down. Now, of course

00:15:06.960 he does not care at all about anyone in the state, not named Cuomo as evidenced by who got

00:15:13.800 all the COVID tests when they were really scarce, all of his family members and friends.

00:15:19.900 But he sees this as his only way forward.

00:15:23.640 Okay. So I want to, we're going to take a one minute break and then I want to ask you,

00:15:27.300 he's staying in for 14 days, which is weird.

00:15:29.800 Yes.

00:15:30.900 Maybe because he has no place to live. It makes one of the former prosecutors from, from the

00:15:38.580 New York district for the FBI makes him very, he's like, that's not normal. That's not necessary.

00:15:45.940 I just hope that nothing nefarious is going on in the next 14 days.

00:15:52.080 I can make a couple of promises. Yeah. Yeah. But I want to talk about where he goes next,

00:15:59.160 because I think he was positioning himself. I don't know what for, but that was a position

00:16:04.740 and maybe it was just positioning for a court hearing. I don't think anything's going to go

00:16:09.620 to court. Maybe it does. Uh, but once, once he's out of the way, then people tend to generally try

00:16:14.980 to, Oh, let's just forgive and forget. Um, let's, uh, let's go to a one minute break. Let me tell you

00:16:20.660 about rec tech and then we'll come back to this. You got a lot to celebrate. So why not do it with a

00:16:25.280 rec tech time to fire that baby up, throw on some delicious steaks and burgers, maybe smoke some

00:16:31.140 amazing ribs, get the family and friends over and say, look at this, huh? Thank you, Andrew Cuomo

00:16:38.320 for resigning. It's our Andrew Cuomo backyard party. Um, rec tech has smart grill technology,

00:16:44.980 which allows it to monitor the cooking process all the way through adjusting its own internal

00:16:49.420 temperature as needed to make sure the heat from start to finish is exactly right. So your food comes

00:16:55.880 out perfect. Every time the whole time you can monitor it from an app on your smartphone or your

00:17:00.520 device, don't take my word for it. I want you to AB compare rec tech to the competition.

00:17:05.960 You are going to find that there is nothing, nothing at the price point, especially, uh,

00:17:12.220 that will compare to rec tech, rec tech, check them out now. R E C T E Q.com. That's R E C T E

00:17:20.140 Q.com. REC tech.com. 10 seconds. Station ID.

00:17:34.140 Hmm. So Andrew Cuomo is leaving. I, is he, is he staying because he has no place to live

00:17:44.040 because he's always lived in the governor's mansion for so long. Yeah. Unlike so many other

00:17:50.200 people who wind up becoming a governor of a state, he has no other home, no other residents. So part of

00:17:55.940 this might be him trying to line up a place, but again, you know, you go get a hotel, you get an

00:18:00.120 Airbnb. Yeah. It's a 2021. Right. And I mean, the case would be get out of office. It'll, it'll help

00:18:06.580 you. Yeah. Just say, Hey guys, I need to stay in the governor's mansion for a couple of weeks.

00:18:10.620 I, yeah. And I, even that would probably work. He's also got friends and family and he could go

00:18:16.920 do with Chris. I mean, they're talking all the time, all the time. Apparently that's another thing

00:18:21.500 that's in the report. We should get to at some point, uh, today, but he, he, 14 days should make

00:18:27.000 you nervous for multiple reasons. Number one, when you look at the vacillations he had over the past

00:18:31.940 few days, you realize that there, it's not completely out of the question that he would just reverse

00:18:38.360 himself in a week and just say, you know what? I am fighting kind of the Wolf of wall street

00:18:42.880 speech where he's in front. He's like, I'm staying. I would not be shocked at all, except no one will

00:18:48.960 be clapping in that certain circumstance. That's the only difference. Um, so that's possible.

00:18:53.560 Very likely that he's got a bunch of stuff that he wants to get done before he leaves.

00:18:58.980 God only knows what it is. That's, I think the biggest real worry in that he would,

00:19:05.040 he's got deals that have been working. He's got things he wants to get in place. He's got people

00:19:10.760 he wants to move in positions that have been loyal to him. Some of that stuff very well may

00:19:15.440 occur over the next couple of weeks. It would not be surprised at all. It's also important to look

00:19:19.460 at how, I mean, this isn't a collapse that is historic. I mean, think about this Glenn in October

00:19:26.880 of 2020, he released a book about what a great job he did in the COVID crisis. And, and it was

00:19:33.740 called leadership. And 10 months later, the exact people he was bragging about leading got him thrown

00:19:41.680 out of office. He was, I did it. I was looking back at some of the early shows. You mentioned this

00:19:46.540 earlier, some of the students, America monologues and such that I've done a Cuomo going back to March,

00:19:51.600 2020. And one of them, I started again, totally perplexed because he, it's just come out that he

00:19:59.120 has a 72% approval rating. This is what April or May of 2020, 72% approval rating in the state of New

00:20:07.760 York. And he went from that to such a dead end that a guy who would do anything to hold onto that

00:20:15.180 office, couldn't figure out a way to go forward, even for a few more weeks. I mean, there was rumors

00:20:20.340 that he was going to sue the attorney general's office, basically to get the entire transcript

00:20:26.520 of all these interviews, which likely he would be able to get, have a good chance of winning that

00:20:33.100 because if he's going to mount a defense, he would need to know. So that would probably take

00:20:40.020 weeks and weeks and weeks. He could have delayed this. He would have eventually been impeached,

00:20:43.800 I think, but it could have, he could have delayed it for months and who knows what happens, right?

00:20:47.500 Oh, Bill Clinton. Exactly. Maybe something changes. Maybe some big event happened. Everyone

00:20:52.260 forgets about it. I mean, there was a time where a lot of people predicted that, you know,

00:20:57.840 Governor Blackface in Virginia was going to resign and he was able to kick the can down the road long

00:21:02.560 enough to apparently survive a scandal where he's pictured in Blackface. Yeah. Right. I think there's

00:21:09.600 a chance, honestly, my biggest concern about him in the next 14 days is COVID. I mean, there's so many

00:21:17.600 emergencies now that he could just take and take a strong hand on and people would be like,

00:21:25.940 we need him now more than ever. Yeah. You know, that's what's scary to me on 14 days. This guy,

00:21:33.040 because this guy will do absolutely anything. We saw that in New York on emergencies. I mean,

00:21:37.260 you know, Bloomberg stayed in office. That was the economic crash where he stayed in office for a

00:21:41.760 third term. They're like, ah, we'll just adjust the constitution. You never know. Yeah, I know.

00:21:45.060 Emergency. Let me ask you, uh, yeah, how much money does he have? Uh, $18 million. And that's

00:21:50.460 political money, political money. So he's got to do something with that. He can't theoretically spend it

00:21:55.680 on vacations, though. No, but he can spend it on another thing that starts with a V vindictiveness.

00:22:02.120 Yeah. Oh, yes. I mean, $18 million could destroy people who destroyed him. Yes. And he, I,

00:22:10.520 $18 million does a lot to repair your reputation as well. I mean, he holds onto that and he can

00:22:16.460 work back channels, uh, funding that money to other various candidates who suddenly have a change of

00:22:22.560 heart over time about good old Andy and what a great time that used to be would not be shocked

00:22:27.700 at all. I mean, you've seen that turnaround with someone like an Al Franken, right? Yep. Where

00:22:31.740 they called, you know, Democrats were largely united and saying he should leave at that point. And

00:22:36.200 now they're not. They're now united to the opposite. I mean, that arguably helped sink Kirsten

00:22:41.660 Gillibrand's presidential campaign because she supported him stepping down. The old Me Too thing

00:22:46.560 didn't last all that long in that particular case. It's not the last we will see of Andrew Cuomo.

00:22:51.580 More in a second.

00:22:55.260 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:22:57.720 I've talked about Patriot Mobile for a while now. You know what they stand for. They stand for

00:23:02.240 great mobile service. That's number one. At a more affordable price. Number two, uh, having the

00:23:11.580 technology to stay ahead of the competition and stand for American values. And they put their money

00:23:19.500 where their mouth is every single time, especially when they talk about, uh, defending our values.

00:23:26.300 They donate a portion of everything that they make to conservative causes like the big mobile

00:23:31.540 companies. Many are donating to leftist causes. They're doing it on the other side. They're on

00:23:35.700 our side. It's time to stop dealing with big mobile and make the switch. We don't need them

00:23:40.540 anymore. Patriot Mobile. They have the largest coverage area of anybody. They have the highest

00:23:48.400 rated customer service. They have lower prices. Why are you still with them? Go with the good

00:23:55.040 guys. Go with the guys who are fighting the battle with us, not against us. It's PatriotMobile.com

00:24:01.080 slash back or call 972 Patriot. PatriotMobile.com slash back 972 Patriot or Patriot.com.

00:24:11.180 Well, Andrew Cuomo is out. He's gone. We think in the next couple of weeks,

00:24:15.920 don't forget to get your mug or t-shirt. Andrew Cuomo is awful.com.

00:24:20.480 This is the Glenn Beck program today. I am really excited to announce that the Mercury

00:24:39.140 one 10th anniversary party is happening, uh, Saturday, October 9th. Uh, the name of this

00:24:49.140 event is the power of one renewing kindness. Uh, and we are going to be telling you about

00:24:56.140 some new initiatives that are going on. Plus it's going to be great. We have a American

00:25:01.020 idol, former contestant and major Christian recording artists, Danny Gokey, and also Colton

00:25:05.760 Dixon are going to be performing live at the Mercury one event. Um, they're adding these as

00:25:10.560 tour stops to their tour stand in faith. Uh, also, um, I'm going to be hosting it. I've got

00:25:17.260 a lot of friends that are coming in, uh, for this. It is going to be a great night celebrating

00:25:23.320 10 years of Mercury one. We saw a need 10 years ago, and we have been working diligently.

00:25:29.800 We told you last year that we've started a new initiative at Mercury one, the American

00:25:35.040 journey experience. We'll tell you more about that and some new announcements for the next

00:25:41.020 10 years. If you would like tickets, we'd love to have you mercury one.org or M one next

00:25:47.360 chapter.com. It's a super spreader event. Uh, it's, it's supposed to advertise. Oh, I'm

00:25:54.620 not. Oh, I thought that was, that's not a good thing. No. Oh, okay. Cause I've been attending

00:25:59.920 all of those things. Uh, anyway, except for the Obama one, uh, the Toyota music factory in

00:26:05.600 Irving, Texas is where it's going to be. So join us at the Toyota music factory again, get

00:26:10.180 your tickets at a Mercury one or M one next chapter.com. You said 10 years. You, you mean

00:26:18.000 like it's been 10 years since Mercury one existed? Yeah. 10 years, 10 years. That does not feel

00:26:24.140 like 10 years ago. It's been 12 for the blaze and 10 for a blaze TV. Wow. Really? 10 years.

00:26:31.520 I announced Mercury one and then GBTV or what became blaze TV the same day. Wow. That does

00:26:39.540 not seem possible at all. It is. So please join us. We'd love to have you. Where does it

00:26:44.600 go? I know it was just a little, just toddling along just, you know, just 10 years ago. And

00:26:50.520 now look at, it's all grown up. Spitting up and being fed with a bottle and 10 years old.

00:26:56.560 Yeah. Speaking of spitting up and being fed by a bottle, um, your thoughts on Andrew Cuomo.

00:27:02.140 Oh man. Well, I got a bone to pick with Stu because I heard you saying that he resigned

00:27:07.520 because it was to his benefit. Yes. Now I know you've been on vacation for a while and

00:27:14.240 maybe you missed it, but he said from his own mouth, it was for New York. Did you not

00:27:20.360 hear him? Did you not hear him? Or are you just flat out lying? Because I also understand

00:27:26.360 your name's not really Stu, it's Steve. So if you lie about your very name all day, every

00:27:32.340 day. He's a Canadian spy. Yeah. And a liar. Right. Because Andrew Cuomo said it was for New

00:27:40.020 York. This is all true, but I will not resign. Just so you know. I will not. Oh, I will get a

00:27:45.820 coalition together. Oh, I'm hanging out here every day. I was actually a tad surprised that he resigned

00:27:54.180 yesterday because he started into the news conference just as the show was ending yesterday.

00:27:58.900 And we were talking about that and it looked like he was just going to continue to hang on.

00:28:02.300 So here's the thing. How long will it take before Chris Cuomo is out of a job?

00:28:07.540 Well, they're doing everything they can to protect Chris Cuomo. Read any story, especially

00:28:13.300 by a real mainstream outlet about this, about the resignation. And you will see, hey, Cuomo

00:28:20.000 went back and forth and he wasn't sure. And he was asking everybody. And one of the big

00:28:25.100 parts of the resignation was when Chris Cuomo, who was advising him again, that was announced

00:28:31.260 he wasn't going to really do that anymore. But apparently in a private conversation, it

00:28:34.960 was OK somehow. But he but that's not the the thing to focus on there. They're saying

00:28:40.560 that Chris told him to resign. See, Chris was the voice of reason, the good guy in the

00:28:45.340 situation. Wasn't he the good? Wasn't he the guy who was advising fight, fight, fight at

00:28:50.740 that? Yeah. He he literally in the report literally wrote the initial response for his

00:28:57.120 brother. So he's writing the news while covering the news, writing it. They have the email from

00:29:04.920 Chris Cuomo outlining what to say. And basically he used it. I mean, he changed a few words here

00:29:09.740 and there. But generally speaking, Andrew Cuomo's words that first time he addressed it were Chris

00:29:15.540 Cuomo's words. And now they're trying to make it out like, look, he advised him. He said the right

00:29:20.520 thing to do is to step down. And who knows? Might not have happened without Chris Cuomo's

00:29:24.800 guidance in this situation because they're trying to protect the Cuomo. You know what?

00:29:28.940 Chris Cuomo's a hero. Oh, sure. And I don't think CNN CNN has any problem with this. No,

00:29:34.780 of course they don't. They don't have any standards. They don't have any rules. They don't have any

00:29:38.840 morals. They don't care. Yeah. And everyone will say we're we're not fair. Right. We're we're

00:29:45.080 evil partisans. We hate CNN. However, we do sometimes praise when CNN does do good

00:29:50.620 things. Some people. It's been a while. It's been a while. They've been getting a lot

00:29:53.300 worse. Yeah. But like give you an example of this. We were talking about this off the

00:29:56.020 air and that Chris Cuomo's on vacation this week. And wow, what a convenient time. Right.

00:30:00.640 For a vacation. And that's what everybody is saying. And that is a legitimate thing to

00:30:04.920 be suspicious over. However, however, when all of us came to the same conclusion right

00:30:10.500 away, when we were at Fox News Channel, Fox occasionally is known for some of their PR

00:30:18.180 people leaking items against some of their hosts when it's convenient. But not things that aren't

00:30:25.360 true. Yeah. Sometimes when they're not true. Really? Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know that. Sometimes

00:30:30.400 anti things against their own people. Now, would they do that so they could get power over

00:30:36.740 that show? No. I'm sure not. I'm sure. Because that was a bit too far. That would be crazy.

00:30:42.620 Anyway, but it happened to us. We had a scheduled vacation that had been on the books for months.

00:30:47.560 Yep. And, you know, as always was the case, there were people attacking us from, you know,

00:30:52.640 the left and the media. And when right before we went on vacation, somebody who knows who

00:31:00.380 it could have been, but leaked to the press that Fox had actually suspended us and we're

00:31:05.560 going to take us off the week or off the air for a week because of all the controversy around

00:31:10.360 the show. And of course, absolute lie, absolute lie to the point of that. We had all of the

00:31:15.480 emails scheduling the vacation. Thank God we did. Yeah. We had all the emails, documents.

00:31:21.640 We all had plans. We all had flights booked and everything. Yeah. And so we had we were able

00:31:26.380 to prove it to the reporters who actually did report the truth on that one. But they only

00:31:32.060 did it because they hated Fox and Roger Ailes more than us. Yes, that's true. That's at that

00:31:36.400 time. The only reason more than they hated us. Yeah. If they if they would have been anybody

00:31:40.460 else, they would have went ahead. Even with all of the evidence, they would have gone ahead.

00:31:44.640 I think people would be blown away to know what Fox did on certain occasions to their own

00:31:50.040 Fox. Are we? I'm sorry. Are we? Allegedly. Are we now? Allegedly. Are we now just openly

00:31:54.800 talking about this? Sure. Okay. All right. Allegedly not a wise idea. No, no, probably.

00:32:01.080 But it's a surprise. That's been talked about by many, though. There's been movies made

00:32:05.940 about it. In fact, several. Yeah, several movies made about it. But the point is, though, you

00:32:12.040 could argue maybe he I don't know. They keep saying like, oh, he always goes on vacation

00:32:15.620 around his birthday. And maybe he does. I mean, of course, every personality takes a summer

00:32:20.160 vacation. So it would not be surprising. On the other hand, I have not seen the

00:32:24.440 emails be produced by the first thing. I mean, I haven't I haven't said anything about

00:32:29.400 him. You know, maybe not on vacation because of our experience. We've gone through it.

00:32:34.760 Sometimes that happens. And it's just it just happens. And I don't think that CNN would

00:32:41.640 have had a problem with him on the air through all of this. I don't think so either. I don't

00:32:44.960 know what he would say, though. What would be a tough position to to be in?

00:32:49.340 But like, if you are a supposed truth teller, which Cuomo Chris Cuomo says all

00:32:53.420 the time, I'm just bringing to you straight. I'm giving it to you straight. Yeah.

00:32:56.580 Then get out there and defend your brother. What do you really believe? You're telling

00:33:00.400 him behind the scenes to go after these women and say they're lying. Get on the air

00:33:04.960 and say that these women are lying. If that's what you believe. Get on the air

00:33:09.080 and say what you think about the biggest story, obviously, in the country and also in

00:33:14.540 your world. I say this is your brother. And so this is CNN has allowed him to to navigate

00:33:18.900 this any way he wants, as if he's the biggest and greatest television personality of all

00:33:25.940 time. Well, he is 17th in his time slot. By the way, by the way, Tucker Carlson is going

00:33:32.720 to be joining us in about 15 minutes. Who is who is the biggest guy I'm capable to do right

00:33:38.360 now? But you know what? I mean, if if this would have been us, is there any doubt in your

00:33:42.900 mind if somebody was coming? Let's just say after one of you two and you were you were

00:33:49.680 guilty, which clearly, Stu, whatever it is they're charging, you are guilty. Thank you.

00:33:54.260 Is there any doubt in anybody's mind, even if it worked to my detriment, if I believed

00:34:00.940 that Stu was innocent or he was guilty, that I wouldn't come on the air and say it? You'd

00:34:07.360 have to. Oh, you would. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Now, that doesn't, you know, maybe

00:34:11.500 you don't, it's not every minute of every show. Maybe it's just like I coming out. Look,

00:34:15.900 I worked with this guy for a long time. I had no idea about this. It looks pretty damning.

00:34:22.600 I want the system to work, but he's not on the show right now. And when it's all over,

00:34:26.980 we'll decide whether he's on the show. To be clear, this is a theoretical.

00:34:30.000 Well, I'm just saying. I'm just saying it could happen. Did anybody see this coming

00:34:37.040 when Andrew Cuomo was writing the book and selling the book? No, no, no. And how do we

00:34:41.560 know what you've been doing the past week? We don't. We don't know. It couldn't be anything.

00:34:46.500 You see all those people have died of COVID in the last? A lot. A lot. Where was Stu? We

00:34:51.420 don't know. I think he was at Obama's super spreader event. Did you also see that in Martha's

00:34:58.360 Vineyard the COVID cases have doubled? Now, I don't know if it's this quick from the weekend

00:35:02.920 outing that he had. Oh, if it happened in Texas, they would be saying it was. They would. Of

00:35:06.840 course they would. Of course they would. That is amazing. Doubled. Doubled. I mean, this

00:35:11.780 has got to, I 100% of course blame Barack Obama. I mean, the funny thing is that, you know,

00:35:17.080 they did this big thing about Provincetown where that was the big case where they had this

00:35:20.420 outbreak. And like, again, you know, that's not exactly representative, I would say. That

00:35:25.500 particular weekend known as, what is it, Bear Week or whatever? I don't know. I'm not up

00:35:29.900 on my province town. I learned quite a bit from Megan Kelly and Andrew Sullivan talking

00:35:34.520 about this. But that it was apparently a week where people come out and do things they wouldn't,

00:35:39.840 maybe isn't completely representative of the rest of society. Wow. In a real lefty part

00:35:45.520 of the town? A lefty part of the country? Yeah, it's very well known this particular weekend.

00:35:49.700 And I guess what it looks like is that the rates haven't gone crazy. So they basically

00:35:56.840 have changed all of the guidance on vaccinated people and all of this based on a study that

00:36:07.260 didn't even raise local rates of COVID. I think their positivity rate is like 2.8% or something

00:36:13.700 in Provincetown after the study is over. So it didn't even happen. Like what they were worried

00:36:18.160 about didn't even really set in. Yet the entire country is now changing all of our guidance

00:36:24.720 on COVID. Unless you're at Martha's Vineyard. Then you're totally fine. That's way off the

00:36:29.940 coast. It's like almost Africa. All right. Tonight on the Wednesday night special, what

00:36:36.080 happened to the freedom protest in Cuba? It seemed like it was an almost breakthrough moment

00:36:41.040 for the people who have been living under a communist dictatorship for 60 years. But then

00:36:46.860 what happened? Just a few weeks ago, Cuba was on the verge of its own Arab spring type moment

00:36:51.920 fueled by Cubans using social media to coordinate massive street protests. What happened to those

00:36:58.380 people? Where are those people? Tonight, I'm going to give you some idea what Cubans are up against

00:37:03.960 and why it matters to our future. We cannot make the mistake of writing this off as just a

00:37:09.340 Cuban communist problem. Opposing communism used to be a unifying cause for Americans.

00:37:17.880 But this freedom flare up in Cuba has shown that is no longer a cause. That's a huge problem for

00:37:24.480 those of us who believe in freedom. Join me tonight for Cuban spring debunking the left's lies about

00:39:26.820 one of the more fearless people, uh, on the planet today in media. He does not flinch. Uh, he makes a

00:39:36.740 great case, obviously surrounded by really good researchers and, uh, and writers and is on every

00:39:44.220 night, no matter if they, the gangs gather at his house, uh, to intimidate him and his family, or, you know,

00:39:52.940 they follow him into a fishing store in Montana, which the press, by the way, did not have a problem

00:39:58.360 with. They said, you know, that's what happens when you're reviled in America. Really? Hmm. Wow. And now if, so

00:40:07.280 if, if some of you walked into a store and people treated you like that, you would say, Hey, well,

00:40:15.220 I'm reviled by half the country. Really? Uh, anyway, uh, he's going to be joining us here in just a

00:40:22.580 second. I'm going to talk to him about his, uh, his book, the long slide, and it's 30 years of American

00:40:28.360 journalism. And what he has to say is, is really important. And again, just the intro is, uh, brave in

00:40:36.460 the, in the, uh, preface of it, he takes down Simon and Schuster, uh, and, and talks about what was

00:40:44.640 going on. The reason why that's important is Simon and Schuster published this book. Uh, and he's

00:40:50.820 absolutely right about the CEO, John carpet, Simon and Schuster, and, and how they are, how they are,

00:40:58.600 um, silencing dissenting voices. And it makes absolutely no sense at all. Anyway, we're going

00:41:07.460 to talk to Tucker Carlson about his book. Also the NSA, uh, spying on him. How comfortable is he with,

00:41:16.380 with saying that they, they did indeed do all of this. They wanted to leak the communications to take

00:41:22.600 his show off the air. How comfortable is he with that? And what is the latest? Tucker Carlson joins

00:41:28.620 us after the top of the hour news break. This is the Glenn Beck program. Okay. Uh, let me tell you

00:41:39.240 about built bar. Look, let's be honest. I'm fat. I'm out of shape. Got it. Got it. So why would I be

00:41:45.880 talking to you about a protein bar? Because this particular protein bar does not recommend you eat

00:41:51.720 the number of these protein bars that I eat in a day. These are candy bars and you know, it's like,

00:41:58.960 uh, you know, the, the donut holes, you know, or the mini donuts. If I eat them one at a time,

00:42:05.200 it's not like, you know, it's their donut holes. It's not like I'm eating a whole donut. Anyway,

00:42:11.560 built bar. They're, they're about 180 calories. I think max, uh, most of them about 120, 130

00:42:18.320 calories. They have four to five grams of sugar, only four to five net carbs. They taste really

00:42:23.460 good. They've got unbelievable flavors. This is why I'm, I'm telling you about them is because they

00:42:28.860 do taste like a candy bar, but if you eat them in the right amounts, they're, they're actually really

00:42:33.580 good for you. Built bar. Fat people unite. It's a candy bar built.com go there now, order built

00:43:16.780 This is The Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:25.560 A man I would classify as a friend, Tucker Carlson.

00:43:30.680 A guy who I don't always agree with, and he doesn't always agree with me,

00:43:35.000 but I think he's one of the bravest men on television today.

00:43:38.340 He speaks the truth.

00:43:41.440 He does his best to find the truth, and then he comes under attack for it in every aspect of his life.

00:43:49.480 But he remains standing.

00:43:51.080 He is on the program in 60 seconds.

00:43:57.040 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:09.860 Mr. Tucker Carlson.

00:45:11.900 He has a new book out.

00:45:13.640 It has been released today through Simon & Schuster.

00:45:17.180 It is called The Long Slide, 30 Years in American Journalism.

00:45:23.240 Welcome to the program, Tucker.

00:45:25.160 Hey, Glenn.

00:45:26.260 Thanks for having me.

00:45:27.280 You bet.

00:45:27.780 You bet.

00:45:29.800 Let's start with first just the NSA scandal that's going on.

00:45:37.380 How comfortable are you that we're going to find out what's really going on,

00:45:41.820 that the watchdog for the intelligence agencies are going to be fair and independent?

00:45:49.460 Well, I don't think it's a scandal.

00:45:51.000 I mean, it's totally – you should have the expectation when you live in America

00:45:53.680 if you criticize the regime, then they read your email.

00:45:57.540 I mean, I learned – so I thought that was illegal and un-American

00:46:02.760 and an assault on civil liberties, but I learned from the Daily Beast

00:46:05.480 that actually if you complain about it, then you hate America.

00:46:08.740 So just shut up and accept it.

00:46:12.280 You have no privacy.

00:46:14.180 The war on terror has been turned against American citizens,

00:46:16.680 but you deserve it because you're a white supremacist.

00:46:18.420 That's what I've been told.

00:46:19.540 Correct.

00:46:20.200 It is – it's pretty phenomenal what is going on in America,

00:46:24.860 especially with the intelligence agency.

00:46:30.320 I mean, you now have not only Americans being spied on, you're being spied on,

00:46:34.580 but you also have the Capitol Police becoming an intelligence agency, the post office.

00:46:41.680 Oh, it's so distressing.

00:46:43.760 I mean, I moved to Washington when I was 15.

00:46:46.540 My dad worked for the federal government.

00:46:48.060 He worked with the CIA.

00:46:49.560 I applied to work at the CIA when I graduated college in operations.

00:46:54.100 I thought it was a totally honorable thing.

00:46:56.260 We understood – and, you know, we're the same age about,

00:46:59.780 so you remember we understood the U.S. government and our intel agencies and our military

00:47:04.340 and our federal law enforcement.

00:47:05.760 Honorable.

00:47:06.860 Designed to protect us and honorable.

00:47:08.440 Exactly right.

00:47:09.380 If you – you know, the idea that your son would grow up to be an FBI agent,

00:47:12.240 you're thinking, wow, you know, I would be really proud of him.

00:47:15.060 I wanted to work there.

00:47:16.400 I mean, that tells you how I felt about it.

00:47:18.160 And the difference – look, you can't turn the awesome law enforcement

00:47:22.460 and intel-gathering powers of the federal government against American citizens

00:47:26.520 on a wholesale basis.

00:47:28.640 Like, that's the nightmare scenario.

00:47:30.480 We have a lot of laws in place designed to prevent it, and now it's happening,

00:47:34.980 and it's just bewildering to me that, like, no one says anything about it.

00:47:38.420 Like, this is totally cool.

00:47:39.620 This is the way it works.

00:47:40.380 No, it's not cool.

00:47:41.220 It's not the way it works.

00:47:42.660 If you care about democracy, you're opposed to this with everything that you have.

00:47:47.080 If they can do this, what they did to Donald Trump, and they can do this to you,

00:47:51.180 what makes the average American think they won't turn it on them easily?

00:47:55.340 Because you'll have no chance.

00:47:57.980 That's exactly right.

00:47:59.400 And I'm concluding things and saying things out loud that I just –

00:48:04.140 three years ago I never would have imagined I would say or think.

00:48:07.600 I would have thought, oh, that's paranoid.

00:48:10.220 That's crazy.

00:48:10.960 I think I'm the least paranoid, sunniest, most optimistic, naive person I know.

00:48:17.200 I mean, I never assume bad motives on the part of any American.

00:48:20.900 You know, I don't want to anyway.

00:48:23.140 But, yeah, I think if you're paying attention, you're deeply concerned about where we're going.

00:48:29.060 And that's on a partisan point.

00:48:30.960 You know, if you care about basic civil liberties, like the right to disagree, the right to speak your mind,

00:48:37.060 the right to follow your own conscience, the right to raise your family, you know, roughly the way you want to.

00:48:41.580 Nothing crazy.

00:48:42.400 This is not ideological stuff.

00:48:43.900 Let me – let me – wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:48:46.680 Let me come back to that for a second on that that's not an ideological point.

00:48:50.160 And just to ask you one last question on this, do you know who unmasked you?

00:48:54.640 I don't know.

00:48:58.400 I was in Washington for a funeral.

00:49:01.580 I moved out of Washington after 35 years.

00:49:03.840 I didn't have much choice, so I did.

00:49:05.620 And I was back, and I ran into a very old, very close friend of mine who said – who said, let's get together.

00:49:11.620 I've got to talk to you about something.

00:49:12.760 Who said in person, you know, you are planning this trip to Russia.

00:49:17.140 And I said, why?

00:49:18.100 I haven't told anybody that, so I don't know how you'd know because – and then this person told me that the NSA had been reading my electronic communications,

00:49:27.120 my texts and emails, and had unmasked me and was going to spread this to news organizations to suggest that I was somehow a disloyal American.

00:49:35.160 And it just – it actually scared me.

00:49:38.440 I'm not normally rattled by stuff, but that's so over the top that I immediately called, like, the only person in politics I would ever talk to is a U.S. senator who's wise.

00:49:47.720 And I said, this kind of – this kind of scares me, honestly.

00:49:51.080 What should I do?

00:49:52.440 And he said, you've got to go public with it because you don't have any other defense.

00:49:55.920 You don't have actual power.

00:49:57.980 You're just – the only power you have is to talk, which is true.

00:50:00.840 And you need to do that right away as – you know, prophylactically as a self-defense move.

00:50:05.800 Yep.

00:50:06.160 And so I did, and I felt like kind of a lunatic.

00:50:08.180 You don't want to go on TV – I mean, would you want to go on the air and say they're spying on me?

00:50:12.140 No, you sound like a nutcase.

00:50:13.380 Right.

00:50:13.520 But I didn't feel like I had a choice.

00:50:16.360 All right.

00:50:16.840 So let me go back to where you just said this is not a partisan issue because I think it is.

00:50:21.840 And I think your book is kind of evidence of that.

00:50:27.400 You talk about the 30 years in American journalism, the long slide, and you yourself say you couldn't do the things.

00:50:35.980 You couldn't report the things today that you were doing back then.

00:50:41.460 You couldn't – the system is no longer what it was.

00:50:46.900 When we thought at least we all agreed with each other and we were all seeking the same outcome, I don't think there – I don't think all Americans even agree on your right to privacy and your right of freedom of speech anymore.

00:51:02.520 Well, you're absolutely right.

00:51:05.480 And it's kind of – I mean, I'm sure you have this experience every day.

00:51:08.180 Things are changing so quickly you wake up in a brand-new country.

00:51:11.220 But it's hard to get perspective on how profound the change is because there are so few mile markers.

00:51:15.720 You know, you don't – it just seems like, oh, I guess it's always been this way.

00:51:18.420 Going back and reading 30 years of journalism, mostly magazine journalism, was just kind of a shock.

00:51:25.080 I mean, a lot of the pieces in the book I wrote for the New York Times.

00:51:28.000 Can you imagine?

00:51:29.460 Esquire magazine.

00:51:30.300 I wrote for the Washington Post.

00:51:31.960 You know, I wrote for GQ.

00:51:34.000 There's no chance I would ever – I wrote for the New Republic.

00:51:38.120 I know.

00:51:38.380 I also had a lot of friends over the – I mean, a lot of friends, not just a few, like a lot, who were Democrats.

00:51:44.380 I went hunting with them.

00:51:45.820 I went on trips with them.

00:51:47.360 I hunted with them all my life.

00:51:50.420 And now that's impossible.

00:51:53.640 I mean, they wouldn't have me.

00:51:54.900 I'm actually – I've never been very partisan.

00:51:56.940 I'm not super impressed by the Republican Party, that's for sure.

00:51:59.380 I don't like the Democratic Party, but I don't hate people because of their voter ID, you know, because of who they vote for.

00:52:06.020 I just – that's not my temperament.

00:52:07.600 And so reading this, you really – I really got the sense that, boy, you know, it's a completely different world.

00:52:13.940 We are polarized to the point where you wonder how we reach agreement on anything.

00:52:20.100 And to your point, you know, what do we agree on?

00:52:22.880 You know, what do we have in common?

00:52:23.960 This is a – has always been a multiracial country with no state religion.

00:52:29.820 You know, we've always been, in some sense, a diverse country.

00:52:33.960 And that's great.

00:52:35.580 I like that.

00:52:36.480 But you have to have something that unites you, something that we all agree on.

00:52:40.400 Like, why are we all living on this continent together, sharing a common federal government, if we don't agree on anything?

00:52:45.440 So what do we agree on?

00:52:46.460 What is the American creed that unites us?

00:52:48.340 And increasingly, it's hard to answer that question.

00:52:50.160 It used to be the Bill of Rights.

00:52:52.440 Yes.

00:52:52.740 It used to be the Bill of Rights.

00:52:54.460 And I contend you could get maybe a majority, a slim majority, to disagree with maybe eight of the first ten in the Bill of Rights.

00:53:09.940 You have nothing left if you don't have the Bill of Rights.

00:53:13.940 Well, I mean, that's exactly right.

00:53:16.900 I mean, it's – at this point, if you can't agree on that – I mean, let's just be totally blunt.

00:53:23.800 Countries don't hang together because they hang together naturally.

00:53:28.180 There's a – you know, there's a – centrifugal force is a physics principle, and this is a huge country, and it's diverse on every level, not just ethnically but geographically.

00:53:37.260 People – you know, the country won't hang together unless we work intentionally and ceaselessly to create a reason for it to hang together, and it can't just be forced.

00:53:48.060 It can't just be, you know, we control the Pentagon.

00:53:50.440 Obey.

00:53:50.960 That's not enough.

00:53:51.900 You need consent of the governed, and they have – the majority needs to agree that we're in this together for a reason because we share this in common.

00:53:58.900 And if you set out to destroy those bonds, if you set out to increase tribalism, which is what they're doing – no, your first loyalty is to your ethnic group.

00:54:08.980 Are you joking?

00:54:09.980 You're a Hutu.

00:54:10.720 You're a Tutsi.

00:54:11.380 Like, how do you think that ends?

00:54:12.820 It's so insane.

00:54:14.760 And so I just think we need a national movement starting, like, this afternoon to figure out what it is we have in common and to emphasize that because otherwise – I mean, it's just very clear where this is going to go.

00:54:27.100 So what – when you look at other countries, I mean, for a long time, we were – you know, we've got to be more like Europe.

00:54:35.380 We've got to be – I, in some ways, I'd love to be like some of the countries in Europe.

00:54:39.520 Some of the countries in Europe are preaching against us.

00:54:45.160 They're like, don't follow America.

00:54:47.320 Whatever poison is coming out of there, don't do it.

00:54:50.320 And I've heard you talk about Hungary and the way – the way that the government is now in Hungary, they are more free than we are.

00:55:02.400 Well, that's – I – I mean, it's just funny to be in your 50s because you dimly remember a life before this.

00:55:11.160 And what you just said just makes me laugh because I was in Europe last week, and I thought that the whole time.

00:55:16.320 We mocked Europe.

00:55:17.580 I mean, constantly mocked Europe.

00:55:19.120 And how sad is it?

00:55:22.020 I take no joy in noting what's true, which is when – if you're in Budapest and you disagree with the ruling party, you don't need armed bodyguards.

00:55:32.540 You're not going to be silenced.

00:55:33.960 The majority of media in Hungary are opposed to the ruling party.

00:55:39.140 The ruling party may lose in the coming elections.

00:55:41.320 And that's – you know, that's how things work in a representative democracy.

00:55:46.400 You know, like you have peaceful transfers of power, and people are allowed to say what they think, and store windows aren't smashed because they disagree with the COVID policy or the Black Lives Matter or the trans policy.

00:55:57.740 It's like, it's all right.

00:55:59.480 How is that not freer?

00:56:00.580 It is freer.

00:56:01.960 It is – and that just crushes me.

00:56:04.680 I know.

00:56:05.360 Me too.

00:56:05.800 Let me ask you, because I finished my – the last book I did, I've been with Simon & Schuster for 20 years, and I want nothing to do with John Karp, the CEO.

00:56:19.960 They started firing conservatives at Simon & Schuster, started closing things down, and it made no sense to me.

00:56:30.040 You have this publisher.

00:56:31.720 Simon & Schuster is your publisher for this book.

00:56:34.880 Yeah, that's right.

00:56:35.540 You go after them in the book.

00:56:39.320 I mean, that takes balls.

00:56:40.500 Yeah, I mean, they – and I told them I was going to.

00:56:43.220 I mean, there's something – well, they published it, so they know for a couple of what's in it.

00:56:46.580 In fact, I dedicated it to John Karp, effectively.

00:56:51.440 So, you know, they know.

00:56:53.820 But look, it's really simple.

00:56:56.080 They're one of the most powerful book publishers in the world.

00:57:00.020 They should not be abetting censorship.

00:57:02.120 The whole point of publishing and of journalism is to keep open this free exchange of ideas.

00:57:06.520 You don't agree with at least half of them, but it's important for people to be able to voice them.

00:57:10.260 In fact, it's essential.

00:57:10.980 You can't have a democracy without that.

00:57:12.720 So you can't be for censorship.

00:57:14.880 And they are.

00:57:15.800 And I was shocked when they canceled Josh Hawley's book because they didn't like his vote.

00:57:20.800 You may not like his vote.

00:57:21.640 Okay, that's all right, but Josh Hawley has a right to air his views.

00:57:25.540 They canceled his book.

00:57:26.920 They issued a press release calling him a terrorist.

00:57:29.540 And I watched this with my jaw open, knowing that I had a book due to them.

00:57:32.440 So I called John Karp and I said, what is this?

00:57:34.900 And I said, I feel a moral obligation to report this out because I'm getting paid by Simon & Schuster.

00:57:39.480 I'm participating in this.

00:57:41.200 I'm benefiting from your censorship, and I feel bad about that.

00:57:44.580 So I'm going to write about it.

00:57:45.920 And if you don't want to publish the book, you don't have to.

00:57:47.480 And I think they really felt trapped because they knew that they canceled my book.

00:57:51.660 I was going to go after them, which I certainly would.

00:57:54.400 So it was just one of these weird circumstances where I got to report out censorship in real time,

00:58:02.140 and I thought that I should.

00:58:03.820 I felt it was my duty to do that.

00:58:06.000 Well, good for you.

00:58:07.200 I'm no longer with Simon & Schuster.

00:58:09.340 My contract expired, and I couldn't be happier.

00:58:12.420 Although my next book is coming out self-published, and I don't know anybody of my size that has ever tried that before.

00:58:21.900 So we'll see how it works out.

00:58:23.560 When is that?

00:58:24.240 I mean, I would love to talk to you about that because that seems like the future.

00:58:27.700 I mean, why are we putting our ideas into the hands of censors?

00:58:33.260 I mean, why are we participating in the system?

00:58:35.100 It is the system.

00:58:36.780 I mean, I'm in the same place I was in 10 years ago when I started the Blaze TV, where it didn't make any sense.

00:58:45.320 All the tools aren't really there.

00:58:47.380 Nobody's actually breaking the molds on this.

00:58:51.080 But it has to be done because I'm not going to sit and be held hostage by a corrupt system.

00:58:59.760 It's ridiculous.

00:59:00.260 I look back, and I realize how stupid I – when you started Blaze TV, I was like, well, you know, you were like the biggest guy in cable news.

00:59:07.500 Why don't you just, you know, just stay in cable news?

00:59:10.380 Why make the effort to do this?

00:59:12.520 And I'm just so grateful that you did.

00:59:15.100 I really, really am.

00:59:16.240 And I'm grateful just as – I'm not saying this, by the way, as flattery.

00:59:19.920 I mean it totally sincerely.

00:59:21.540 The fact that you're self-publishing, that you built your own thing, those turned out to be incredibly prescient and important decisions because the current system is unsustainable.

00:59:32.260 It's just – we don't have freedom of the press.

00:59:35.060 We have to build our own.

00:59:36.220 And so thank you for doing that.

00:59:37.500 Yeah.

00:59:37.760 Well, as you know, because I write to you from time to time just to thank you for your monologues and your bravery.

00:59:45.000 Thank you for standing up.

00:59:46.500 I've been in your position.

00:59:48.340 I know what it's like.

00:59:49.460 I know what it's like for your wife and your children, and I truly pray for you and admire your courage, Tucker.

00:59:57.980 Thank you.

00:59:58.640 Well, I appreciate that, Glenn.

00:59:59.760 Thank you.

01:00:00.260 You bet.

01:00:00.920 The name of the book that you can get, it's out today, The Long Slide, 30 Years in American Journalism with Tucker Carlson.

01:00:10.760 By the way, Tucker is going to be doing a podcast with me in the next couple of weeks, so we'll have a good hour or so to be able to further our conversation.

01:00:19.460 Let me tell you about AMAC.

01:00:22.880 If you haven't joined AMAC yet, there's a few good reasons you should.

01:00:26.760 First and foremost is the advocacy for conservatives.

01:00:30.200 This is the Association of Mature American Citizens, and they are on it.

01:00:36.460 They are on it, and they invite you to be a part of it.

01:00:40.100 And they help shape things in Washington, and there is power in numbers.

01:00:47.400 It's why we need to support people that are on the right track.

01:00:53.040 We need to do business with people who are helping us.

01:00:56.540 You know, AMAC is, what, almost two and a half million members now.

01:01:02.620 That's a lot.

01:01:03.380 At the peak of the NRA's power, they had, I think, five million Americans.

01:01:08.940 And look how powerful that was.

01:01:10.760 There is power in numbers.

01:01:12.800 It's why Biden is trying to get everybody to unionize.

01:01:17.060 We need to be together.

01:01:18.680 Now, you'll get all the benefits and the information that you need that you get, you know, from any place else.

01:01:25.640 But I think you get it better, really, from AMAC.

01:01:29.420 Make sure your voice is heard.

01:01:31.160 Stand with the people who are standing with you.

01:01:33.060 You'll also get life insurance products, travel discounts, and much more.

01:01:36.440 It is AMAC, A-M-A-C dot U-S slash Beck.

01:01:41.200 Make sure you join now, AMAC dot U-S slash Beck.

01:01:45.500 10-second station ID.

01:02:00.840 Today, I want to talk to immigrants.

01:02:04.540 Yesterday, I spent an hour taking phone calls from people who had no reason to make it at all.

01:02:11.220 They had no reason to believe they'd ever make it because of their childhood.

01:02:14.480 The things that they went through, the things that they did, and yet they found their way to success, however they define it.

01:02:23.300 Today, I want to talk to immigrants.

01:02:25.640 I want to talk to people who have come to the United States and played by the rules and done the things that they would have never been able to do in their own country.

01:02:39.580 I think there is a high rate of success with immigrants that when they come here, if they apply themselves, they always say the same things to me.

01:02:51.760 Always.

01:02:52.660 You can't get any American to do this job.

01:02:55.620 You can't get anybody to actually care about the work.

01:03:00.340 And I'm talking about people who are stonemasons, like Tanya's grandfather was a stonemason.

01:03:07.140 He came from Italy.

01:03:07.940 And he was a bricklayer.

01:03:12.340 He was an artist.

01:03:14.740 Well, nobody in the family is that artist because nobody now wants to work like that.

01:03:19.160 And so the stone layers are coming from other countries.

01:03:22.760 And they can make it and start their own business so their kids don't have to lay stones.

01:03:28.340 I want to hear from people who came here and had no chance of success either here or in their own country.

01:03:38.400 And yet they found it here.

01:03:40.500 If that's you, call me now.

01:03:42.720 The number is 727-BECK.

01:03:45.140 I'm going to be taking phone calls on this in just a minute.

01:03:49.220 727-BECK.

01:03:50.340 I want you to share your story of where you came from and why you came here and what the difference is.

01:04:01.200 It's time to put some good stories out about America.

01:04:05.280 And these are truths.

01:04:07.680 I could tell stories, but why not just talk to the people who are living it every day?

01:04:13.880 Call me at 727-BECK.

01:04:20.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:04:26.440 American Financing NMLS 182334 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org

01:04:32.680 So Michael has written in about his experience with American Financing.

01:04:37.120 And he says, I have been working with Thea at American Financing since we made the decision to refinance.

01:04:45.400 She's been such a help from day one.

01:04:47.060 She answered all my questions and there have been plenty.

01:04:49.160 She's returned every call.

01:04:50.840 She works seemingly 24-7.

01:04:54.000 I am resting easy knowing that progress is being made.

01:04:58.240 A friend of mine started his re-enough financing processes a month before us.

01:05:02.920 We close tomorrow.

01:05:05.140 He's decided to go to American Financing as well.

01:05:08.340 He's starting all over.

01:05:09.840 Best of all, my wife and I don't have to go to the closing because the closing is coming to us.

01:05:14.240 Thanks, Thea and American Financing.

01:05:16.060 You rock.

01:05:16.620 Michael, thanks for writing in.

01:05:19.100 For the last two decades, American Financing has helped so many people just like you get their financial feet on solid ground.

01:05:25.520 I want you to call American Financing at 800-906-2440 or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

01:05:32.320 800-906-2440 AmericanFinancing.net.

01:05:38.620 Don't forget, tonight's Wednesday night special is all about the truth on Cuba.

01:05:44.260 What's really going on?

01:05:46.260 And where's America tonight?

01:05:48.840 BlazeTV.com.

01:05:49.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:06:00.180 We're really glad that you are here today.

01:06:02.520 Thank you so much for listening.

01:06:04.580 We have some really disturbing things that are going on.

01:06:08.000 YouTube has taken down a second Rand Paul COVID video, suspends him.

01:06:12.240 He was on the floor of the Senate and the well of the Senate when he said these remarks.

01:06:18.160 It is it is protected speech, constitutionally protected speech, doubly so because he said it on the well of the Senate floor.

01:06:30.100 That is the ultimate protected speech.

01:06:34.240 YouTube doesn't care.

01:06:36.640 And we are getting into a very, very, very bad place with all of this.

01:06:45.900 Also, I want to show you the pattern of the radical nominees.

01:06:52.300 Yesterday, they passed the infrastructure bill and everybody was saying,

01:06:56.600 infrastructure, infrastructure, what infrastructure is in there, the infrastructure of a different America.

01:07:03.460 It is the infrastructure of a very radically different America, one where we're going to be silenced and we will all agree or we won't be able to move around quite so much.

01:07:20.200 That's all coming up on later on in today's program.

01:07:24.340 Also, tonight is my Wednesday night special.

01:07:28.900 We need things that can unite us.

01:07:32.020 We need things that we can all get behind.

01:07:35.660 That's why I am so passionate.

01:07:39.540 One of the reasons why I'm so passionate about saving people who are slaves, whether they're in Thailand or they're in Iraq.

01:07:48.940 They could be in America or Jamaica.

01:07:54.360 We must.

01:07:55.940 I don't want to be around people who say, well, slavery isn't always wrong.

01:08:01.240 We all agree that we have to get down to the basics.

01:08:04.200 We all agree that's wrong.

01:08:05.820 All of us.

01:08:06.680 That's we need to find, as Tucker was just saying a few minutes ago, find the things we can unite on.

01:08:14.000 One of the things that I don't think we're going to be able to get all of America to unite on, but is so important that we do is Cuba.

01:08:21.960 And the people in Cuba, they were having all these protests, and then all of a sudden the Internet went out.

01:08:30.380 Hmm.

01:08:31.300 Strange, because Facebook and everybody else made sure it didn't happen in the Arab Spring.

01:08:36.140 But the Cuban Spring, eh, not so much.

01:08:39.400 So the communist regime, since the protests on July 11th, have taken hundreds of their citizens.

01:08:48.680 We don't know the number exactly.

01:08:50.780 We know for a fact of, I think it's 805 citizens that were taken through forced disappearances.

01:08:59.940 They would sweep people up and then try them 10 or 12 at a time.

01:09:05.880 This is not something where you were even allowed an attorney.

01:09:12.200 You were prosecuted without evidence.

01:09:14.760 Some of these people are in jail, prison.

01:09:17.540 Some of them we don't even know if they're alive.

01:09:19.520 Some of them were beaten.

01:09:21.520 Tonight, we are going to tell you what is going on, and we're going to get the real stories from people who have friends and family there.

01:09:31.680 And you don't want to miss tonight's show, The Crackdown.

01:09:36.640 It is a very, very important show tonight that you don't want to miss on our Wednesday night special, The Cuban Spring.

01:09:46.280 Debunking the left's lies about hashtag SOS Cuba.

01:10:07.320 All right.

01:10:07.600 Let me go to, it was Dennis in Missouri.

01:10:11.160 Let me go to Dennis.

01:10:12.160 Hi, Dennis.

01:10:13.000 Where are you from originally?

01:10:16.040 I am from South Sudan originally.

01:10:19.260 So I came to America in 1999, 99, 1999.

01:10:24.380 Wow.

01:10:24.580 And what were your thoughts and hopes and dreams when you came here?

01:10:32.920 Well, when I came here, I spoke really very small English.

01:10:36.840 Just like when you ask my name, I barely just can say my name and where I live.

01:10:40.500 But my dream is to learn English.

01:10:43.580 And because I knew that I am in, I am living now in one of the greatest countries in the world.

01:10:50.260 So I went to school for a program called ESL, English as a Second Language, for two years.

01:11:00.040 And then I went to community college.

01:11:02.060 And then I went to university, Benedictine University in Illinois.

01:11:04.940 And then one of the things that I learned in school is from one of my professors, he was attorney general.

01:11:13.280 His name is Jim Ryan.

01:11:14.420 And then he retired and then he came back to teach.

01:11:18.260 He said this statement from John F. Kennedy that asking what your country, asking not what your country can do, asking what you can do.

01:11:26.720 And I remember that vividly that what can I contribute to this country?

01:11:32.080 What can I contribute to myself?

01:11:34.180 And that's what the topic of yesterday, when you ask, like, you know, if you are born into a, you know, like...

01:11:42.720 A tragic situation.

01:11:44.060 A tragic situation.

01:11:45.880 What is your life now?

01:11:47.180 So now, you know, I graduated from university.

01:11:50.100 And then I went, I served in Iraq as a civilian translator.

01:11:54.140 I speak Arabic very fluently.

01:11:55.420 So I worked with our troops in Iraq.

01:11:58.640 I went to many, many places in Iraq for two years.

01:12:01.260 And then I came back.

01:12:02.460 I moved to Kansas City.

01:12:03.640 I work for, and I'm working with the city of Kansas City, Water Department.

01:12:08.140 I am a senior administrator.

01:12:11.380 Let me ask you this, Dennis.

01:12:13.260 Let me ask you.

01:12:14.980 In Sudan, we are told that America is the...

01:12:19.480 Are you white, black?

01:12:22.660 What color are you?

01:12:24.080 I'm black.

01:12:24.760 You're black, okay.

01:12:25.680 So we're told that this is the worst place you could come if you're a black person.

01:12:32.260 Why and what is the difference between America and every other place you've seen?

01:12:37.540 Well, what I have seen in Africa, even, you know, even I'm black and living, most of the people in Africa that are black, even, we've seen some treatment that is not the same.

01:12:52.140 They probably could see that, you know, you're from different tribes.

01:12:55.480 You are not the same tribe as the president is.

01:12:57.580 So you'll be treated differently or in schools, too.

01:13:01.860 You know, you treat differently because you are in not the majority of tribes.

01:13:06.540 So I think when I came to America, you know, people talked about racism.

01:13:11.060 I don't see it's there, but it's not really, you know, I haven't seen that, you know, really in my life living here.

01:13:18.600 So, as I said, again, this is one of the greatest countries, regardless of what is happening, you could make your way.

01:13:25.620 You know, when I was in Africa, I don't have shoes.

01:13:27.700 I don't have enough food to eat one meal.

01:13:29.320 You know, now I have five, I have like 12 shoes, you know, and you could make your life if you live right.

01:13:37.100 Dennis, I love your story.

01:13:40.080 Thank you very much.

01:13:41.380 God bless.

01:13:42.160 Let me go to Tom in Colorado, who came from Poland.

01:13:46.860 When were you in Poland, Tom?

01:13:49.460 Well, I was born in Poland in the 60s.

01:13:53.160 I'm slightly older than you are.

01:13:55.120 It's a longer story, but nothing as compelling as what you had on yesterday.

01:14:02.800 People that have gone through hell in their life, they were describing it yesterday.

01:14:08.300 I basically came through three different countries, immigrated when I was 22 with then my girlfriend to Germany.

01:14:16.580 I was not allowed to work there.

01:14:19.000 There was a possibility of migrating to Canada, and that's what we did after two years.

01:14:25.120 And you left communism then?

01:14:28.700 You would come here then in the 80s?

01:14:30.980 I left in 86, yes.

01:14:32.420 86.

01:14:33.040 So you know what communism was like in Poland.

01:14:36.900 Well, and that's where I now have a lot of retirees that admire friends, and I see that they're not basically have the same curiosity that I had when I was growing up in Poland.

01:14:50.300 And we used to live, we used to listen to Radio Free Europe, which was sponsored by American government.

01:14:58.440 And at that time, we were always seeking alternative news because what we were being fed on a daily basis was laughable.

01:15:06.880 Everybody knew that, but somehow everybody kind of went along to live along.

01:15:11.940 Boy, does that sound familiar.

01:15:15.520 Cuba.

01:15:15.980 Yes.

01:15:16.860 Right now, as you've mentioned Cuba, that's the main thing that I'm asking people is like, look what happened first.

01:15:22.600 They first shut down the Internet.

01:15:24.540 For what reason?

01:15:25.720 So you would not have access to alternative news.

01:15:28.640 We all have access to alternative news, but nobody is seeking it.

01:15:33.580 Everybody is used to what you've described, Cronkite and everybody else saying this is the news.

01:15:38.660 And everybody trusts what we're hearing on a daily basis.

01:15:42.180 And some singular voices like yours or Russia's or other talk show hosts, you have to seek those news.

01:15:53.600 You have to be able to listen to you.

01:15:55.120 You have to want to listen to the podcast.

01:15:57.060 Everything else is basically becoming what I've seen in communism and other places like Venezuela.

01:16:04.060 I've been here long enough to see what happened to Venezuela.

01:16:07.080 We're following the same pattern, but somehow being born here, and I have my daughter who actually was born here, so I'm exposed to what school is teaching right now.

01:16:16.580 I'm an older father having a very young daughter.

01:16:19.000 And it's hair-raising what they're teaching or trying to teach our kids and reversing everything that this country has established over the years.

01:16:28.560 So I am really worried of the path on which we're on and sort of surprised that majority of Americans kind of take this for granted and think that this is somehow going to get reversed.

01:16:41.220 And the last election actually showed us that people were thinking that voting for somebody who's familiar, doesn't matter which party, but somebody who has been in government for years, somehow is going to bring us to normalcy.

01:16:53.700 And there is no more constitutional follow-up of the structure of power when those three-letter agencies are able to write their own laws.

01:17:14.000 If CDC is allowing to write the laws, in a sense, to force us to do certain things, what happens when the Department of Defense write their own laws?

01:17:24.200 What happens when the Department of Homeland Security starts to write their own laws?

01:17:28.620 And we're on a very slippery path, and I'm surprised by the speed.

01:17:33.640 Actually, I was very surprised when they mandated masks and all these other restrictions on us as individual citizens, and nobody actually lifted more than a finger, with the exception of several people in small places.

01:17:48.900 I will tell you, Tom, that I think with regards to the speed, it's been happening for a very long time, but nobody really paid attention to it.

01:17:57.780 And I think it's going to come down just like the Berlin Wall did.

01:18:01.140 We are going to lose our freedom, as the people in Germany did.

01:18:05.780 One night, it's just going to happen.

01:18:08.700 And you'll be able to look back and go, oh, yeah, it was happening.

01:18:11.900 It was just building to this moment.

01:18:14.320 But now it's too late.

01:18:15.980 Now it's too late.

01:18:16.660 I understand.

01:18:17.340 But as our founding fathers said, we will have to steal blood to regain our freedoms.

01:18:22.440 And that's what I fear.

01:18:23.760 And people do not understand that that's the only other step possible.

01:18:28.120 Tom in Colorado.

01:18:29.400 I'm sorry we didn't get to your business.

01:18:30.620 But I know that you're successful and you started your own business.

01:18:32.980 And thank you for being a great American coming from Poland.

01:18:37.080 Back in just a moment.

01:18:40.480 Let me tell you about Bilt Bar.

01:18:42.980 Talk to you seriously about something.

01:18:46.040 To anyone within the sound of my voice, I need help.

01:18:50.260 I'm being hostage.

01:18:52.540 No, not my terrorist.

01:18:53.740 I mean, that would be really pretty easy.

01:18:55.100 I mean, it's my daughter.

01:18:58.720 She's she's she's really feeding me vegan food.

01:19:03.360 I don't know where else to turn.

01:19:05.120 The only constellation has been Bilt Bars, which are like healthy protein bars.

01:19:09.100 They're made with real chocolate.

01:19:10.280 So they taste great and everything.

01:19:13.640 I mean, in case she's listening, I love the vegan food, honey.

01:19:16.060 I really know.

01:19:16.700 I seriously help me.

01:19:20.560 Bilt Bars, in addition to be made with real chocolate, they're low calorie, low carb, high protein and high fiber.

01:19:27.280 They have nine amazing flavors, plus the occasional limited time flavor.

01:19:31.500 Get the mix box and you can try two of each for the nine flavors.

01:19:34.840 They have a new URL.

01:19:36.420 Super easy to remember.

01:19:37.620 It's Bilt.com.

01:19:57.280 This week, I am talking to people that have made it in America where the odds were against them and they have found themselves successful in America.

01:20:12.740 Things that just don't happen elsewhere.

01:20:16.340 Today, I'm talking to immigrants.

01:20:18.620 If you're an immigrant that came to this country because you couldn't succeed elsewhere and you came here and you did what?

01:20:27.640 And what did you find about America?

01:20:30.480 Tomorrow, I want to talk to people who have been at the very rock bottom, alcoholism, suicide, whatever, and have turned it around.

01:20:42.360 If that's you, that'll be on tomorrow's program.

01:20:44.980 Let me go to Aurora in Arizona.

01:20:46.600 You, your husband is an immigrant from Panama?

01:20:51.540 That's correct.

01:20:52.620 Yeah.

01:20:53.340 Tell me about him.

01:20:55.340 Okay.

01:20:55.900 He's actually right here.

01:20:56.980 I'd love to have him tell you.

01:20:57.940 His name is Carlos.

01:20:58.900 Okay.

01:20:59.180 Yeah, sure.

01:21:01.600 Blaine.

01:21:02.160 Very nice to meet you, sir.

01:21:03.140 Nice to meet you, Carlos.

01:21:04.520 So you were in Panama.

01:21:06.460 Did you live under the dictators?

01:21:10.360 I lived my entire life under a dictatorship.

01:21:12.860 I came here to the U.S. when I was about 25 years old.

01:21:16.600 But I lived through the invasion of Panama.

01:21:19.680 I lived through the years when Noriega was ruling Panama.

01:21:23.700 And I've seen a lot of some of the similarities that we live in our country that today we're having here in this country.

01:21:31.220 It's just incredible.

01:21:33.060 Incredible.

01:21:33.480 But I was in Panama when the invasion happened in 1989 and Noriega was removed.

01:21:40.620 And in 1991, I had the chance to come here to the U.S. as a student.

01:21:44.620 I went to Texas to study English.

01:21:46.860 I went to Houston, Texas to study English.

01:21:49.420 I mean, first of all, who goes to Houston, Texas to study English when everybody speaks Spanish out there?

01:21:55.680 Right.

01:21:56.080 How's your Spanish, Glenn?

01:21:57.360 How's your Spanish?

01:21:58.140 Not good.

01:21:58.660 Not good.

01:22:01.280 So, yeah.

01:22:02.040 So I moved to Utah because I met my wife's brother in Panama.

01:22:08.340 He was an airplane mechanic.

01:22:09.420 And he told me about my wife.

01:22:11.640 And I moved to Utah.

01:22:12.560 And then we got married.

01:22:14.560 And then I decided to join the military because I wanted to return the same thing that the United States did for me when I was in Panama.

01:22:22.060 I wanted to be part of something big.

01:22:24.720 So I joined the military in 1994.

01:22:28.580 And I served for almost 22 years.

01:22:31.180 God bless you.

01:22:31.760 So I went to Iraq, Afghanistan.

01:22:34.900 And I served a lot of many years in Colombia, you know, in counter-cognitive operations.

01:22:41.400 I have to cut you loose.

01:22:43.800 We're up against a network break.

01:22:45.240 But thank you so much.

01:22:47.320 Thank you for your success story and your travel from dictatorship to freedom.

01:22:53.480 Hopefully it's not a return ticket now.

01:22:56.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:11.400 Today, I've opened up the phones to immigrants, people who have come here from other parts of the world.

01:23:35.440 You know, especially those who came here because they couldn't make it in their own home country.

01:23:43.360 Maybe they were living under dictatorship or communism.

01:23:48.160 They came here from some situation.

01:23:51.140 And they came here the right way.

01:23:53.800 And now they've made it.

01:23:55.440 I want to hear your story of America because I'm tired of hearing all the other stories.

01:24:00.280 727-B-E-C-K is the phone number.

01:24:03.240 I'm going to go to the phones here in just a second.

01:24:04.900 Also, an update.

01:24:06.740 I've been talking to you about hitting franchises.

01:24:09.960 That is the way to send a message.

01:24:12.200 If you hit franchises.

01:24:14.140 Well, we go there in 60 seconds.

01:24:17.240 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:23.700 All right.

01:24:24.860 Let me tell you about Raycon.

01:24:29.160 Raycon wireless earbuds.

01:24:31.500 The best thing that I have heard in a long time.

01:24:33.560 How long do your earbuds last before they run out?

01:24:37.340 Oh, gosh.

01:24:38.700 I don't even know.

01:24:39.480 Yeah.

01:24:39.940 Can you make it?

01:24:41.220 If you're flying coast to coast.

01:24:42.680 Oh, yeah.

01:24:43.040 Can't even make it coast to coast.

01:24:44.060 Okay.

01:24:44.580 All right.

01:24:44.860 Raycon now has a 32-hour battery life.

01:24:50.080 Gosh.

01:24:50.780 32 hours.

01:24:52.520 You could wear those, you know, for two days without recharging them.

01:24:56.980 Yeah.

01:24:57.320 And they're great headphones, too.

01:24:58.820 They're really good.

01:24:59.440 They're great.

01:24:59.880 They sound great.

01:25:00.760 They fit flush against your ear.

01:25:02.340 They're not like dangling like your dopey earring things from Apple.

01:25:06.200 Yeah, but they're half the price of Apple.

01:25:08.160 Oh.

01:25:08.600 So.

01:25:09.260 And they come with a 45-day happiness guarantee.

01:25:12.060 So, what do you have to lose?

01:25:34.140 There's a movement for freedom underway in Cuba.

01:25:36.800 A demand to end the dictatorship.

01:25:40.160 But the American left says the Cuban suffering is our fault.

01:25:43.940 Glenn debunks the lies and asks big tech, where's your love of democracy now?

01:25:47.800 What can Americans do to help?

01:25:51.420 Watch Cuban Spring.

01:25:52.860 Debunking the left's lies about hashtag SOS Cuba.

01:25:56.020 Tonight, 9 p.m. Eastern at playstv.com slash Glenn.

01:26:00.180 Thanks.

01:26:00.580 All right.

01:26:02.280 I want to get to the phones here in just a second.

01:26:03.780 Talk to people who have come from other countries.

01:26:05.900 The stories are fantastic.

01:26:07.920 We'll get to that here in a second.

01:26:09.420 First, I want to just give you an update on something I've been talking about for the last few weeks.

01:26:13.540 And that is franchisees.

01:26:16.400 You've got to hit the franchisee.

01:26:18.560 If you want to make an impact now, everybody, you know, if you want to stop Coca-Cola from being so woke and training people to not be so white, you're going to complain to Atlanta all the time.

01:26:30.400 And they are not going to care.

01:26:32.080 They're not going to care.

01:26:34.520 You're not going to convince the woke board of directors to switch.

01:26:39.000 OK, however, you can go to your local Coca-Cola bottling plant.

01:26:45.100 Local Coca-Cola bottling plant.

01:26:49.440 This is like a franchisee.

01:26:51.120 These are people that they don't have anything to do with Coke.

01:26:54.320 They bottle Coke and deliver Coke.

01:26:56.920 And they're living in your neighborhood.

01:26:59.020 So many of them probably feel exactly the way you do.

01:27:04.460 And so when you go to them and say, hey, you know what?

01:27:07.060 I can't order any Coke from you as a company anymore.

01:27:10.760 I just can't do it.

01:27:11.560 And I want to.

01:27:12.720 But no chips.

01:27:13.440 No nothing.

01:27:13.900 I'm not getting any of the vending machines done by you because you're in bed with Coca-Cola and I'm just at a breaking point.

01:27:22.680 I can't have everybody teaching my children and teaching all the employees at Coca-Cola that they should be less white.

01:27:32.040 That's wrong.

01:27:33.180 And you know it.

01:27:34.720 And so I can't do it anymore.

01:27:36.660 I guarantee you enough people go to the local Coca-Cola bottling company and say things like that and you're going to see a change.

01:27:46.860 Now, I've already told you about Unilever and how Unilever now is in a tight spot between Ben and Jerry's and their franchisee owners.

01:27:55.520 Ben and Jerry's and Unilever, all Unilever does is just provide the ice cream.

01:28:00.940 They get it from Ben and Jerry's and they put it into stores.

01:28:03.380 OK, and then Ben and Jerry's sells these franchise locations where you can go and have your local Ben and Jerry's franchise.

01:28:11.580 Well, 40 of them, count them, four, zero, 40 of them have have said, I can't do it anymore.

01:28:22.300 You're killing us.

01:28:23.460 You're killing us.

01:28:24.340 And you got to stop with your boycott on Israel.

01:28:29.940 Well, Ben and Jerry's made it worse by having a conference call on Saturday.

01:28:34.720 And they said this is a learning opportunity for you to learn how bad Israel is.

01:28:39.440 They didn't like that.

01:28:40.820 They didn't like that.

01:28:41.840 Now, the franchisees are looking at how do I get my money back for my franchise?

01:28:47.500 And Unilever is going to have to make a decision.

01:28:52.420 Last story.

01:28:54.380 Subway owners, Subway, the franchise of Subway, that's not owned by corporate Subway.

01:29:01.600 That's a local Subway owner.

01:29:04.580 The Subway owners want kneeling Megan Rapinoe dropped as a spokesperson.

01:29:09.580 Subway is in charge of the advertisement.

01:29:13.600 But the local stores are the ones that are getting all the heat for it.

01:29:17.720 And so they had a North American Association of Subway franchisees meeting.

01:29:23.420 And a lot of these franchisees stood up and said, I'm tired of apologizing.

01:29:28.380 I'm tired of saying, I know, I know, I'm with you.

01:29:31.560 I know they were demanding that they fire her.

01:29:36.060 This is the key.

01:29:38.440 You have to act locally.

01:29:40.780 You can't think about these global corporations because they don't care, but they do care.

01:29:48.560 You want to you want to make a difference.

01:29:51.240 You start saying, I'm not going to buy any Nordstrom's.

01:29:55.740 You're selling Nike.

01:29:58.780 Until you stop selling Nike, I can't do business with you anymore.

01:30:02.320 You make the local franchise uncomfortable.

01:30:09.340 And then Nordstrom says, we can't sell Nikes anymore because all the people are coming into our store and saying they're not going to do it anymore.

01:30:16.080 The Subway example is such a good one because you pay part of your franchise fees for national advertising.

01:30:23.920 Four and a half percent.

01:30:24.560 Yeah, so like they are using that money to not promote your product, to take your customers and have them go somewhere else for lunch or dinner.

01:30:35.460 Yep.

01:30:35.880 And come in and complain to you.

01:30:37.580 So you're sitting out there trying to talk down some irate customer because they have a national company is running an ad with a crazy soccer player.

01:30:46.800 Which, by the way, soccer, why would you ever hire anyone who plays soccer to advertise your product?

01:30:52.500 That's right, I got it.

01:30:53.000 That's just an anti-soccer stance.

01:30:54.440 But, I mean, again, this is supposed to be helping you as a franchisee.

01:30:59.100 Not hurting you, not distracting you from your actual work because you have to talk down a customer.

01:31:03.800 So I just want you to know, they passed the infrastructure bill and then today they've passed the three and a half trillion dollar.

01:31:11.440 I have to look at you for a trillion, right?

01:31:15.120 Three and a half trillion dollar spending package.

01:31:18.500 That is the second half of the infrastructure in it.

01:31:22.160 It is going to fundamentally change American, the American culture, the American business landscape.

01:31:31.460 It is going to change us and it is going to be a fight between the big guys and the local store owners.

01:31:39.980 You need to support the local things and make your voice heard at the local levels so they are barking up that chain and saying, I'm sorry, guys, we can't do it anymore.

01:31:54.060 We can't do it.

01:31:55.060 That is your best, I think, plan for success and somebody needs to pick this up.

01:32:04.480 All right.

01:32:04.980 Let me go to the phones in just 60 seconds.

01:32:08.400 Let me just quick for an early break.

01:32:10.840 That way we can just talk to people who have fled from other countries and come to America.

01:32:15.540 I want to know why and I want to know what the difference is.

01:32:19.020 And you succeeded in America?

01:32:21.200 I didn't think anyone could succeed in America.

01:32:23.200 America, it's a lie.

01:32:25.320 It's a lie that you can't succeed.

01:32:27.800 We're going to talk to immigrants coming up in just a second.

01:32:30.420 First, they say what you they say, what you eat.

01:32:35.020 You are you are what you eat.

01:32:37.980 Well, I'm not eating a lot of fat and I am fat.

01:32:40.780 Anyway, built bar built bar is a great way for you to stay in shape.

01:32:47.420 Now, I may have built bars, but I also may have too many built bars and a cheeseburger or a slice of pizza and various flavors of ice cream that as long as it's not Ben and Jerry's.

01:32:59.440 I don't discriminate except against Ben and Jerry's.

01:33:01.340 Anyway, this is supposed to be a built bar in a health.

01:33:03.620 You know, it's a health segment here.

01:33:05.220 Built bars are low calorie, low carb, high protein, high fiber.

01:33:13.360 Nothing I would buy.

01:33:14.660 He just said all of the wrong words to get me to buy it.

01:33:17.820 Now, let me say this.

01:33:19.260 They are unbelievably delicious.

01:33:21.640 They taste like a candy bar.

01:33:24.240 They come in nine different flavors.

01:33:28.120 They're made with real chocolate.

01:33:30.060 Now, I'm interested built dot com.

01:33:34.360 It's kind of that sweet spot, if you will, right in between good for you and delicious built dot com promo code Beck 15.

01:33:44.740 It's built dot com promo code Beck 15.

01:33:48.320 Ten seconds station ID.

01:33:49.380 Oh, man, we have Michael calling in from California.

01:34:02.600 Michael, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:34:04.420 How are you?

01:34:06.260 Yes.

01:34:06.580 Hi.

01:34:06.780 How are you?

01:34:07.460 Very good.

01:34:08.100 You came from where?

01:34:10.780 I actually came from Poland.

01:34:12.680 And you moved to California.

01:34:14.920 You should experience freedom.

01:34:17.020 I'm just right now today in California.

01:34:19.200 Oh, OK, good, good, good.

01:34:20.460 I live in the Midwest.

01:34:21.300 OK, all right.

01:34:22.000 I was very smoky here.

01:34:25.700 So you moved from Poland.

01:34:27.960 And why did you move away and come to America?

01:34:31.380 So my family experienced quite a hell during World War Two.

01:34:34.820 So my grandfather was at POW, was murdered by the Soviet Nkavuda, so the precursor of the KGB.

01:34:43.640 So he was only 31 years old.

01:34:46.020 And so the rest of the family was either deported to Kazakhstan and Siberia.

01:34:51.560 The other grandfather was with the British Eighth Army.

01:34:56.280 There was a Polish unit there.

01:34:58.560 So he was stationed in Iraq, then Egypt and Italy.

01:35:04.380 After the war, most of these soldiers were actually prosecuted.

01:35:09.080 Well, he was staying in England until 1958, fearing for his life.

01:35:15.620 And so the family somehow lived in the communist Poland.

01:35:18.820 And so I was growing up in that place, and I couldn't believe you could live in a cage as a human being.

01:35:26.360 Yeah.

01:35:26.480 So I immigrated.

01:35:28.720 I was 20 years old.

01:35:30.100 I basically took a tourist trip and just fled and ended up in West Berlin, applied for immigration visa and to the United States, came as a refugee.

01:35:41.560 And when I landed, I had like $300 in my pocket.

01:35:47.820 And a country that was really, really free.

01:35:53.940 It was a huge difference.

01:35:55.780 And, you know, I'm calling.

01:35:57.700 It's the first time ever I would ever call a station.

01:36:01.000 Because what is happening in the United States today, it's scary.

01:36:09.460 I find it terrifying, but only people like you generally agree with me.

01:36:14.460 I was stopped in the mall the other day by a woman from, I think, Poland.

01:36:18.260 And she said, we came here for freedom.

01:36:21.060 And what's wrong with you people?

01:36:23.120 It's all falling apart.

01:36:25.180 You're doing what we escaped from.

01:36:31.000 You never know what freedom is until you lose it.

01:36:34.380 Yeah.

01:36:36.000 So you had $300.

01:36:39.080 And where are you now?

01:36:42.020 I'm in Midwest.

01:36:43.700 So just in Indiana.

01:36:46.840 When I came, I actually was working three jobs, all part-time, and going full-time to college on the East Coast, a very prominent school.

01:36:55.880 So I was the poorest kid in that school with, you know, friends driving, you know, Porsches and Mercedes.

01:37:04.300 And I was driving a beat-up Chevy.

01:37:06.700 But, hell, I, excuse me for the H-E-R.

01:37:09.300 It's all right.

01:37:10.180 But I made it.

01:37:11.900 Yeah.

01:37:13.340 College and then went to graduate school.

01:37:16.360 Well, then I ended up working for big multinationals worldwide in the United States, overseas, in Japan, in Asia, in Europe, all over Russia, and all the territories.

01:37:28.220 So, you know, I was very, very successful after being basically arriving with one suitcase with one pair of shoes to America.

01:37:36.880 Michael, thank you very much for calling in.

01:37:39.180 God bless you.

01:37:39.820 Let me go to Blanca, I think, in Illinois.

01:37:43.500 Blanca, welcome.

01:37:44.360 Blanca, are you there?

01:37:50.160 Okay, let's go to Poala in Pennsylvania.

01:37:55.180 Am I saying it right?

01:37:57.240 Paola.

01:37:57.840 Paola, okay.

01:37:58.800 Hi, Paola.

01:37:59.400 Yes, hi, Glenn.

01:38:00.680 How are you?

01:38:02.240 I'm good.

01:38:03.140 I'm just a little bit nervous.

01:38:04.680 I'm not a big, I don't talk a lot.

01:38:06.300 Yeah, no, that's all right.

01:38:07.880 Just me and millions of others.

01:38:10.220 Go ahead.

01:38:11.260 Yeah, yeah, that's not fair at all.

01:38:12.640 I came from Dominican Republic as a child in the early 90s.

01:38:18.100 I was seven years old when I came here.

01:38:20.660 My dad actually came seven years before when my mom was pregnant of me, and it took seven

01:38:27.800 years for him to bring his whole family over.

01:38:30.520 So we were separate, which damaged their marriage.

01:38:34.840 But basically, my mom wasn't going to leave us in Dominican Republic while she was here.

01:38:39.620 So we waited seven years.

01:38:41.800 Wow.

01:38:42.840 And my dad was a cab driver in New York City.

01:38:45.060 He worked 16-hour days and finally made enough money to put my mom into college.

01:38:51.960 She was a doctor, well, a dentist already in my country.

01:38:55.660 Couldn't find a job, didn't have anything to show for it.

01:38:59.200 She came here, was accepted into NYU, and she graduated.

01:39:03.460 And actually, the first year that she worked as a dentist was the first year we ever had

01:39:07.820 a Christmas.

01:39:08.800 We actually had toys.

01:39:10.820 It was amazing.

01:39:11.660 My brother and I always remember that because we had nothing, and I always watched my parents

01:39:17.740 pretty much bust in their hump working for us.

01:39:21.960 And I'm not bad now.

01:39:24.220 What a great story.

01:39:27.040 Seriously, you are really blessed to have that memory of your family and of your life.

01:39:34.660 I mean, I have kids that are older in their 30s, and they remember when dad was broke and

01:39:44.380 we really had nothing.

01:39:46.720 My younger kids, they were born, you know, around the height of my success, and they don't

01:39:53.120 have that.

01:39:53.900 And there is something to having the memory of nothing.

01:39:59.460 Absolutely.

01:39:59.660 It wakes you up.

01:40:02.240 Paula, thank you.

01:40:03.140 Take nothing for granted.

01:40:04.060 Thank you so much.

01:40:05.960 All right.

01:40:06.780 Let me go to, is Blanca there now?

01:40:10.240 Hello, Blanca.

01:40:11.460 Yes, I am.

01:40:12.720 Hi, man.

01:40:13.360 Thank you for taking my call.

01:40:14.940 You bet.

01:40:15.520 And first of all, I want to thank God for his grace.

01:40:20.520 And I was, because I was born in Colombia, South America, up in the mountains, where we

01:40:27.060 had no running water, no electricity, nothing, not even a radio to listen to the news.

01:40:33.640 And I came to this country at the age of 18 years old, with $10 in my pocket, no English.

01:40:40.960 I taught myself English, I taught myself English, I worked as a nanny, and I learned English.

01:40:49.060 I took my GED, and then I went to the university, and I was, by the grace of God, I was able to

01:40:56.620 get a job selling insurance.

01:40:59.660 So I started from zero clients, and I ran the office with grace and loving my clients and loving God.

01:41:10.860 And I was able to bring this company to be worth millions of dollars.

01:41:19.200 And here I am.

01:41:20.340 Do you run it?

01:41:21.080 Do you run it now?

01:41:23.120 No, I sold it.

01:41:24.560 I sold it.

01:41:25.420 I retired at the age of 59 years old.

01:41:28.320 Oh, my gosh.

01:41:29.100 And I retired, and now I've been retired for nine years.

01:41:33.160 So, Blanca, what do you say to people who are saying, you know, I'm so oppressed by a statue

01:41:39.480 that I can't function, or that America is such a racist place, you can never make it

01:41:46.320 unless you vote for these people in Washington?

01:41:49.900 Glenn, it breaks my heart, and I cry, literally cry when I hear this, because this is a land of

01:41:59.380 opportunities.

01:42:00.280 This is where you can come and be something.

01:42:04.080 I don't say it's easy, because I was working 14 hours a day when I started my company.

01:42:10.780 And if you work hard, and you believe in yourself, and you don't give up, the sky is the limit.

01:42:21.120 And I thank God, because without Him, you are nothing.

01:42:27.120 But if you trust in God, and you work hard, because God is not going to put it right at

01:42:32.180 your doorstep, but He gives you a mind, hands, and an opportunity that nowhere in the world,

01:42:40.580 there's no other country in the world like this country, where you can be free.

01:42:46.180 I would have never, ever been able to succeed in any other country, because I came with $10

01:42:53.760 in my pocket, and I was able to succeed, because I believe that there is an opportunity

01:43:01.560 for everyone, for everyone who wants to work hard and not depend on the government.

01:43:08.800 Government is not the answer.

01:43:11.280 Government gets in the way of people getting to be successful in this country.

01:43:16.480 And I am so fearful these days for our country, because this is my country, and I would die

01:43:24.080 for my country if I had to these days, because there is, it's freedom, but it seems like we

01:43:32.360 are being attacked, our freedoms are being attacked.

01:43:35.760 Well, I will tell you, Blanca, I am more and more, I believe that if somehow or another,

01:43:43.940 we could get all of the immigrants together, and they could become a pack, and they could

01:43:49.800 run commercials, and they could make their voices and their stories heard, that things

01:43:55.820 would change.

01:43:56.720 We're only hearing bad stories of, you know, immigrants.

01:44:01.560 We're only hearing, oh, they're living in poverty and everything else.

01:44:05.000 No, no, wait, wait.

01:44:07.080 There are a lot of immigrants to this country, because every single person that is here, unless

01:44:13.360 you're Native American, and then I'd argue the land bridge, is from someplace else.

01:44:20.960 You're from someplace else.

01:44:23.840 So how could we be a nation of immigrants that hates immigrants and doesn't provide opportunities?

01:44:30.200 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:44:32.060 There has never been a better time, and it was never been a better idea for you to take

01:44:39.500 a portion of your financial portfolio and put it now into gold and silver.

01:44:44.540 They just passed the $3.5 trillion budget package.

01:44:51.660 That is on top of the infrastructure package that they passed yesterday.

01:44:58.040 So we're now about $5 trillion, but wait, there's more.

01:45:04.320 Please, I want you to call Goldline and find out if gold or silver is right for you.

01:45:09.720 The dollar is on numbered days.

01:45:14.420 Goldline will ship you five free one-ounce silver Goldline bars just for completing the

01:45:19.680 application.

01:45:20.960 There's also bonus medals when you complete the buying process.

01:45:24.080 So make sure you ask them how to get those delivered directly to your door.

01:45:27.640 They're standing by.

01:45:28.860 They want to help you now at 866-GOLDLINE.

01:45:31.940 866-GOLDLINE.

01:45:33.260 Just call them for the information.

01:45:51.820 Promo code is Glenn to save $10 off your subscription to Blaze TV.

01:46:00.200 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:46:02.360 We're glad you're here.

01:46:03.680 Tomorrow, you don't want to miss tomorrow's radio program.

01:46:06.340 We are going to start piecing this together for you so you know what these infrastructure

01:46:12.200 packages mean.

01:46:13.240 They are building infrastructure, but it is infrastructure to combat the capital market

01:46:21.460 that we have always had, the free market that we have always had.

01:46:25.360 We are dramatically changing because of the $3.5 trillion package that passed today.

01:46:34.020 It is infrastructure.

01:46:35.880 We'll explain that to you on tomorrow's broadcast.

01:46:39.220 Tonight, you don't want to miss our show on Cuba.

01:46:43.020 We have to stand for the people in Cuba.

01:46:47.220 There are 800 plus people that we know of, that we know of, that have either been killed

01:46:54.840 or in prison and beaten.

01:46:57.120 And some of these are kids, and they're going in front of these tribunals, 10, 15 at a time.

01:47:02.700 No evidence, no lawyer for defense, and they're all just convicted and thrown in.

01:47:09.720 Some of them are just disappearing.

01:47:12.420 And the Cuban government is saying, if you ask about your loved one, or if you let people

01:47:20.760 know that your loved one is missing, a worse sentence for your loved one.

01:47:26.280 And we might come for you.

01:47:30.100 800 families have decided the world needs to know the names.

01:47:35.900 And so they have put together a secret document.

01:47:38.160 We'll show you that tonight and tell you what's really going on.

01:47:41.320 These are people we must stand for.

01:47:44.560 We today are talking to people who have moved from another country and had no chance of success

01:47:55.800 in their country, came to the United States.

01:47:58.100 We're told you can't make it in America.

01:48:01.240 I think that's a lie.

01:48:02.880 I know because I came from nothing and I made it in America.

01:48:06.340 America, I want to hear from people who have come from other places.

01:48:10.260 And you'll notice one of the things that they all have in common is they all learn to speak

01:48:15.700 English.

01:48:17.260 They all have said separately, the first thing I did was learn how to speak English.

01:48:24.500 Lucy in North Carolina.

01:48:26.120 Hello, Lucy.

01:48:27.940 Yes.

01:48:28.520 Hi, Glenn.

01:48:29.340 How are you?

01:48:30.120 It's a great honor to be on your show.

01:48:32.320 Thank you very much, Lucy.

01:48:33.760 Where are you from originally?

01:48:36.340 I am from Bulgaria and I escaped Bulgaria as a refugee, actually, and it was still communist

01:48:43.080 in 1990.

01:48:44.740 I was in my, I was 20 years old and I was an artist actually going to Academy of Fine

01:48:50.720 Arts there.

01:48:51.420 But of course, you know, Bulgaria was communist, super tyrannical, obviously no freedom.

01:48:58.420 So we escaped, went to Austria and we were there in a refugee camp and eventually got accepted

01:49:04.140 to the United States and went to New York City.

01:49:08.660 So it's been 30 years.

01:49:10.180 But I see what's happening right now here in this country.

01:49:13.380 I had only $30 in my pocket, started from zero basically, and went to college again, finished

01:49:21.080 my illustration degree, top of my class, gold medal, took basically two years into one

01:49:26.880 working at the same time and got accepted to Disney working as an intern for the Lion

01:49:33.860 King back in the days.

01:49:34.860 Geez.

01:49:35.860 Anyway, long story, long story short, now I'm an independent artist and I see what's happening

01:49:41.740 here in this country, which is so disturbing.

01:49:44.140 And so I started painting political work and I'm getting the backlash from the lefty art world.

01:49:52.600 Yeah, I know, I, I've, I'm living that.

01:49:58.520 Yes, I know, because I know you're an artist too.

01:50:01.160 Yeah, I'm living that.

01:50:03.000 You know what?

01:50:03.520 But I tell you, one of the reasons why I decided to start taking calls like this is because of

01:50:08.560 my experience.

01:50:10.360 There is no way Glenn Beck, no matter how good of an artist I could possibly ever be, there's

01:50:19.300 no way Glenn Beck could ever be a success in an art gallery world.

01:50:25.220 However, I've just proven that wrong.

01:50:28.220 Just what last week or the week before and tremendous success to the point to where the

01:50:34.720 gallery said, we've never seen anything like this before.

01:50:37.520 Uh, and if I can, if Glenn Beck can get his art carried in a gallery in a place like Park

01:50:46.680 City and it's a success, who's telling you, you can't make it, you can't do it.

01:50:54.820 Who, who would have credibility with that?

01:50:58.440 It's insanity.

01:50:59.380 Yes, this is, this is the place of opportunity.

01:51:03.340 And believe me, I was shortly an artist in Bulgaria and you cannot succeed there.

01:51:08.800 You could not in a communist regime.

01:51:10.640 They really expected you to paint propaganda and it was absolutely horrific poverty and

01:51:17.320 no, no freedom.

01:51:18.420 And when I came here with hard work, I really became pretty well known in my field.

01:51:23.840 Um, signature member of numerous watercolor societies.

01:51:28.280 I painted all in watercolor, but really I made it and I feel very successful, but I agree

01:51:33.780 with you.

01:51:34.280 This is the place.

01:51:35.480 And it really pains me to see the situation, uh, of where we are right now.

01:51:40.680 This is the last bastion of freedom.

01:51:42.720 And if you lose it, this is it, this is the end.

01:51:45.940 So I, I see kind of a merging, um, the merger of pretty much fascism and communism all into

01:51:54.100 one system.

01:51:55.460 It's what's happening.

01:51:56.840 Yes.

01:51:57.240 Oh yes.

01:51:58.540 Thank you so much, Lucy.

01:51:59.880 Hey, Lucy, would you just, uh, message me on Instagram?

01:52:03.480 I'd like to follow you and see your work.

01:52:07.860 Uh, she's gone.

01:52:08.840 Okay.

01:52:09.160 I guess not.

01:52:09.960 Uh, well, it would have been nice.

01:52:11.840 It was, she took a strong stand against Instagram.

01:52:14.100 No, I will.

01:52:14.980 I will never, never, never.

01:52:17.180 I don't want you to follow me.

01:52:19.400 Never.

01:52:19.840 Uh, it is, um, it's remarkable how, if you watch for patterns, it's usually the lefty

01:52:29.940 artists and the lefty, you know, artists of all types, stage screen, et cetera, et cetera,

01:52:36.760 that take a country and sell it down the river and, and tout these fascistic kind of leaders

01:52:47.560 and movements.

01:52:48.680 And then in the end, when they're all in prison, then, uh, you know, sometimes, sometimes 10

01:52:56.180 years, sometimes, uh, 80, 90 years later, they all start to go, wait a minute.

01:53:01.680 And wouldn't it be great if we all had opportunity and could live side by side and we could have

01:53:07.760 different opinions and we could just be free.

01:53:11.860 Yeah.

01:53:13.120 Yeah.

01:53:14.020 Hey artists, you should read some history because you guys always, always are leading in the

01:53:21.820 wrong direction.

01:53:22.520 And you know why I think it is because it's a bunch of elites that control your world and

01:53:27.900 you know it.

01:53:28.580 If you don't bow down to the elites, you're screwed.

01:53:33.680 I'm the only reason why I'm a success is because I can bring my own audience.

01:53:38.880 You have to gain an audience from the art world.

01:53:42.000 So you need the acceptance of all of these people in the gallery saying, Oh my gosh, it

01:53:48.340 is just so fabulous.

01:53:51.120 Is, is that Pantone blue number two?

01:53:56.080 Yeah.

01:53:56.640 Oh my gosh.

01:53:58.160 It just screams to me.

01:54:00.720 I don't have to do that.

01:54:02.740 I don't have to do that.

01:54:04.860 And you get trapped in that world.

01:54:07.000 How many people right now in all, in, in all business are doing things you don't want

01:54:15.440 to do.

01:54:17.500 Now there is some part of it where you don't want to do their parts of my job.

01:54:22.520 I don't want to do.

01:54:23.780 So we don't live in utopia.

01:54:25.200 There are parts that you just don't want to do, but I'm saying how many people are doing

01:54:30.380 things that go against them that go against what you believe.

01:54:36.460 How many things are you tolerating around you?

01:54:39.720 You can't, you can't anymore.

01:54:45.020 Times are too serious.

01:54:47.680 You can't tolerate it anymore.

01:54:50.240 You have to take a stand.

01:54:53.240 Let me, uh, do I have time for, uh, let me take one more.

01:54:56.460 Let me go to Romay in Florida.

01:54:58.660 Hello, Romay.

01:54:59.200 How are you doing Glenn?

01:55:01.820 I'm good.

01:55:02.460 How are you?

01:55:04.020 I'm doing great.

01:55:05.320 I'm an, I'm, I escaped Cuba when I was 15 years old.

01:55:07.940 I was nine months as a refugee in Guantanamo Bay before I made it to the country.

01:55:13.260 Uh, obviously at 15, 16 years old, there's nothing to my name.

01:55:17.520 Uh, currently, uh, I'm a business owner, great family on property.

01:55:22.040 You know, there's, there's no better place to be than here.

01:55:25.520 Uh, what's going on in Cuba.

01:55:27.000 It's, it's basically, uh, it's, it's, it's a dictatorship, communism, you name it.

01:55:32.720 And we're heading on the right.

01:55:33.820 We're heading right on that direction.

01:55:35.920 Um, so the right is being on the wall for a long, long time.

01:55:39.600 You see it happening a little bit here, a little bit there.

01:55:41.840 And it's just, it's, it's, it's coming.

01:55:46.660 Romay, that's not the way I want to end this segment.

01:55:49.600 Uh, uh, what do you, what do you hear?

01:55:52.760 Do you have friends in Cuba?

01:55:54.560 Uh, and I have very little family in Cuba.

01:55:57.840 Uh, the last time I went back was about five years ago before my dad died.

01:56:01.620 Um, and, and I experienced some of the medical stuff when I went back to Cuba.

01:56:05.780 Um, and, and I mean, I could write a book about the medical system that everybody calls

01:56:09.400 the greatest in the world.

01:56:10.880 Yeah.

01:56:11.120 It's so good.

01:56:11.780 And so on and so forth.

01:56:13.340 Yeah.

01:56:14.380 It's so good.

01:56:15.280 You found something different than so good.

01:56:17.740 Yeah.

01:56:20.560 Yeah.

01:56:21.260 Um, Romay, thank you so much.

01:56:23.640 God bless you and, uh, keep up the hard work.

01:56:26.100 Uh, tonight again, only on blaze tv.com slash Glenn.

01:56:31.200 Uh, you're going to be able to watch the nine o'clock, uh, episode nine o'clock Eastern of

01:56:37.140 my Wednesday night special.

01:56:38.620 And this time it is on Cuba and it is a really important.

01:56:44.960 So this is, this is like when we all said, you know what, we have to stand up for the

01:56:49.180 people who are enslaved by ISIS and we have to do something.

01:56:53.500 I don't know exactly what we have to do, but the first thing we have to do is decide that

01:56:58.500 this is right.

01:56:59.380 That Cubans standing up need to be heard that Cuba should be free of this dictatorship.

01:57:07.820 And tonight I hope, uh, that you will join me for our nine o'clock Wednesday night special

01:57:13.520 blaze tv.com slash Glenn use the promo code Glenn and save.

01:57:22.320 Sandra lives in Minnesota and she writes in about her experience with relief factor.

01:57:26.320 She says, I've been hearing you talk about relief factor for a couple of years now.

01:57:29.260 And I finally decided to try it because nothing was helping my back pain.

01:57:33.980 I can't tell you how much relief I have experienced that lower pain that used to be constant is

01:57:40.820 not anymore.

01:57:42.120 I honestly doubted relief factor was going to help.

01:57:44.780 I know same with me, but with the three week quick start available, I decided, what do I

01:57:49.220 have to lose?

01:57:50.060 I'm glad I did.

01:57:51.020 I feel like a new person.

01:57:52.460 Thank you.

01:57:53.020 Thank you.

01:57:53.420 Thank you.

01:57:54.380 Sandra, you have joined an elite group of people.

01:57:56.520 Those whose lives were once ruled by their pain, but discovered relief factor and were

01:58:01.360 able to take their lives back.

01:58:03.140 As a member of that group, I can tell you, I wake up every day thankful for relief factor.

01:58:08.040 I'm glad you do now to try the three week quick start trial.

01:58:12.020 It is, um, it's going to work for you in three weeks or not.

01:58:15.500 So you'll know in three weeks, if it's not working, don't order anymore, but 70% of the

01:58:20.940 people who take it go on to order more month after month.

01:58:23.400 It's relieffactor.com 800-583-84 relieffactor.com 800-583-84.

01:58:33.120 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:58:45.500 Early this morning in Washington, D.C., the Senate passed the $3.5 trillion budget.

01:58:57.440 Chuck Schumer is calling it the most transformational legislation in decades.

01:59:04.740 Is anybody concerned by that?

01:59:06.820 Is anybody concerned?

01:59:07.880 What he's saying is we haven't had something that transforms this nation like this since

01:59:16.140 LBJ and before that, FDR.

01:59:20.400 If you know anything about history, those were nightmares.

01:59:26.320 Those were nightmares.

01:59:29.020 LBJ's great society has cost us almost every dime until recently, almost everything in our

01:59:36.520 national debt has come from LBJ.

01:59:40.360 The rest of it pretty much came from FDR.

01:59:44.080 Not talked about often enough as the worst president in American history.

01:59:47.820 I mean, he's in the running for that.

01:59:49.680 He's in the running.

01:59:50.280 You might not be number one, but he's in that conversation.

01:59:52.680 Wilson, of course.

01:59:54.240 Woodrow Wilson, though, he took a country that was going one direction, foundational principles

01:59:59.220 still were hanging around and jolted it, like put it in reverse from like we were going

02:00:05.100 three miles an hour forward and he put it in reverse.

02:00:07.540 We started going backward.

02:00:09.620 LBJ, we were going backward already at 50 and he jammed on the gas even harder and we're

02:00:14.320 going 150.

02:00:15.880 Yeah.

02:00:16.200 He really accelerated our problems.

02:00:18.480 So, you know, what's interesting is Barack Obama was a transformational president, but

02:00:24.140 he is not going to be remembered as he's going to be a footnote to Joe Biden.

02:00:29.240 The Joe Biden administration, which is amazing to say, it's amazing because he was a footnote

02:00:34.240 to Obama's administration.

02:00:35.660 Yeah.

02:00:36.180 Yeah.

02:00:37.200 But I mean, Obama is running it.

02:00:39.800 I mean, his people are running the same administration.

02:00:42.680 Yeah.

02:00:42.940 Uh, and so, uh, what this is, what this is doing to us, I mean, this is this bill, it doesn't

02:00:51.740 really have anything except, you know, a bunch of structure that should scare the living daylights

02:00:57.280 out of people.

02:00:58.160 And then it's up to, uh, the, the three, uh, three letter agencies, FDA, et cetera, et cetera,

02:01:05.840 to put meat on the bones.

02:01:07.260 This just says, Hey, this is a framework we kind of want, and, uh, we're going to give

02:01:13.020 you all this money.

02:01:13.800 You work it out on how exactly you're going to, you're going to do that.

02:01:17.100 That's how insane this bill is.

02:01:21.160 It, it encourages and gives power to unelected officials.

02:01:27.200 We are living in Woodrow Wilson's dream time.

02:01:31.860 Uh, and you need to, you need to know about it and we will give you all of the details,

02:01:38.200 uh, on that in, uh, in tomorrow's broadcast.

02:01:43.980 Jeez.

02:01:45.240 By the way, um, Cuomo sexual merchandise is, uh, no longer for sale.

02:01:51.340 Uh, for some reason they've decided to, uh, you know, get off that bandwagon.

02:01:55.560 You know what it is for sale, Glenn?

02:01:57.340 What?

02:01:58.320 This mug right here that says Andrew Cuomo is awful.

02:02:01.240 It's available at Andrew Cuomo is awful.com.

02:02:04.280 By the way, one thing that might also be, uh, good for, to have in the future, Chris

02:02:08.920 Cuomo is worse.com because that one's the next one.

02:02:13.040 I think we go from Andrew Cuomo is awful.com to Chris Cuomo is worse.

02:02:17.640 Well, we started that because I kept saying Andrew Cuomo is awful.com and the people would

02:02:23.400 say, Andrew Cuomo, Chris Cuomo is worse.

02:02:26.200 So then we made Chris Cuomo is worse.com.

02:02:28.380 I want a Chris Cuomo is Fredo.

02:02:31.700 Mug.

02:02:33.160 He is.

02:02:34.040 He is that.

02:02:35.040 He is Fredo.

02:02:36.360 And he hates that.

02:02:37.180 So if you see him, make sure not to bring that up because he does not like it.

02:02:40.800 Or make sure you do bring that up.

02:02:42.840 Oh.

02:02:43.760 If you think that would be, he might be upset.

02:02:45.440 Maybe we could send him a mug.

02:02:46.740 Chris, Chris Cuomo is Fredo.

02:02:49.020 I don't want to encourage our listeners to be hit by his roid rage though.

02:02:51.520 This is the Glenn Beck program.
