The Glenn Beck Program is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. Glenn Beck is back on the air talking about the President's speech and much more! Today's episode features: - Glenn Beck's take on President Trump's speech on the economy and the economy as a whole. - A new segment called "The President's Speech" - where the President gives us a chance to listen to the audio from his speech. - Glenn's thoughts on the impeachment of Donald Trump.
00:03:26.700Let me just share some of the audio in case for some reason, I don't know, you have a life and you live in that strange world where you think the president of the United States doesn't have enough power to actually control your life.
00:11:24.840So, tonight, I'm announcing that the Department of Labor is developing an emergency rule to require all employers with 100 or more employees that together employ over 80 million workers to ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated.
00:11:57.120If you want to come and visit, you want to work here in the studios, and you're afraid of anybody who's not vaccinated, you should find another job.
00:12:08.520I'm not going to fire you, but you should find another job.
00:12:12.700If you think that everyone around you has to live life the way on your terms, the way you think, I think you should find another place to work because I'm not going to enforce that at the Mercury Studios.
00:12:29.040And I saw a tweet from the CEO of the Blaze, Tyler Carden, and he said, I sure as something am not going to be putting in a vaccine mandate.
00:12:44.740That's going to be really common, right?
00:12:46.800I mean, that's going to be – there's going to be a lot of companies who just say no to this.
00:14:17.400So, Stephanie Rule from the White House, chief of staff, they might regret this tweet.
00:14:26.960Quote, OSHA doing this vax mandate as an emergency workplace safety rule is the ultimate workaround for the federal government to require vaccines.
00:15:19.380I think one thing that is worth talking about, though, is people ask us all the time, why do we talk about, like, these foundational issues?
00:15:55.440But when you ignore that stuff over a long period of time, and, for example, give power to a group like OSHA, I don't know what's going to happen with this rule, honestly.
00:16:03.020Normally, I would say, ah, this is going to get overturned.
00:16:05.200OSHA has a ton of power to regulate workplaces.
00:16:08.520Think of every dumb sign you've ever seen on the wall of a factory.
00:16:37.480This is what they can do with that power.
00:16:39.220This is the – that's why I've said we are now past the progressive era.
00:16:44.320We're now headed towards some sort of a dictatorship, authoritarianism.
00:16:48.640This is the progressive said they want to build a state so powerful with all of these offices and all of these unelected officials that the president can just say, yeah, go ahead and do that.
00:17:03.060And it would erase all of the constitutional boundaries.
00:17:10.340There's been a trendy sort of thing with some conservative thought in that we need to stop talking about that we need the government to be smaller or less powerful.
00:17:20.060Let's just do the right things with the government.
00:17:21.880Now look, there's something to making sure you can govern well.
00:17:25.920And when you have a program, it runs well.
00:17:30.380Because now this 95-year-old senile buffoon can do whatever he wants because all of this power has been sitting in his hands all this time.
00:18:03.600And by the way, you know what else he wants?
00:18:05.740For you out there on the weekend of September 11th to forget about Afghanistan.
00:18:10.860And if you don't like to tell me that, at least this is partially because he wants to gaslight the audience and have everybody forget the bipartisan disaster of Afghanistan.
00:18:21.780Here, he's going to piss off conservatives and liberals will like him.
00:18:24.700Well, with Afghanistan, everybody was saying what a bad job he was doing, and he wants that off of the front page, off of your devices.
00:18:32.860Well, I just have somebody coming up in about eight minutes.
00:18:35.400So use this time to forget completely about Afghanistan and the anniversary of 9-11 tomorrow because in about eight minutes, I'm going to remind you because there's somebody who went to Afghanistan, did some really good stuff.
00:18:48.660And the president didn't like it at all.
00:19:08.820In one of my last updates of the day yesterday from Afghanistan, we might have to wait a couple of days because there's a couple of holidays for the Taliban, and they may not be able to get anything done.
00:21:49.080My plan also takes on elected officials in states that are undermining you in these life-saving actions.
00:21:58.960Right now, local school officials are trying to keep children safe in a pandemic while their governor picks a fight with them and even threatens their salaries or their jobs.
00:25:59.560It's an honor to have you on the show.
00:26:01.840I'd love for you to tell the audience exactly what you did and how difficult it was for a U.S. congressman to go into Afghanistan and try to save people.
00:26:16.100Well, first of all, I just want to make it very clear.
00:26:19.640I went in as a citizen, not as a congressman.
00:26:22.780I went on a blue passport or so to say on a blue passport.
00:26:26.120Now, you need to have a passport to get in Afghanistan right now.
00:26:28.420But and the State Department literally fought us every way.
00:26:32.360And every time I hear the president, I hear Secretary Blinken, I hear General Milley or General McKenzie go out there and talk about every American that wanted out, could have got out and how they were negotiating with the Taliban.
00:26:43.260Which when when did we as a nation negotiate with a terrorist organization?
00:27:01.340It was my team and I and really my team that I was blessed to be able to work with because I'm the low man on the totem pole that worked tirelessly for three weeks to get her out.
00:27:10.160And not one time did the State Department help us.
00:27:12.420In fact, at one time they told us that they weren't going to assist me in any way.
00:27:17.120And and so it's it's it's a it's not even it's a it's a bold face lie when they're saying this stuff and they have to be held accountable.
00:27:26.640But what's amazing to me, Glenn, is how many Americans, true Americans, veterans and non-veterans and private individuals and companies and nonprofit organizations, including yourself, that has stepped up in a big way.
00:27:43.480And I want to thank you because we know you're out there and you're helping.
00:27:46.320We know that you have you have put finances behind this and because there's all we're a small group that's over there working still.
00:29:52.820If we say we can't do it, you're not doing it, which is unbelievable to me.
00:29:59.800The other I mean, then you get down to things like, I don't know, they're evil.
00:30:04.220I mean, the some of the stuff that's going on is when you're mocking people who are trying to save American lives, as well as the lives of women who have been promised to be brides of the Taliban.
00:30:23.520Doesn't that kind of fall into the category of evil?
00:30:27.960I I I will be real quick to say it has to be because who who could do this?
00:30:33.580You know, we got we got we have we've got four Americans out.
00:30:36.780The team that I've been blessed to work with, we're the only ones that's actually got the Americans out so far.
00:30:41.460And we had to take her over 300 miles and her three kids across the land through Afghanistan, which isn't easy to do to finally get her out.
00:30:48.540And three o'clock in the morning on Labor Day, I'm on the phone with her.
00:30:51.740What's the Taliban is threatened to kill her, to kill her if she came, if she tried to approach again.
00:30:56.000We have guys on the other side of the bridge negotiating with the Taliban.
00:30:59.400And I hate to say it, but trying to trying to get her released, trying to convince them that they're American citizens and they should release them.
00:31:05.280Right. And the State Department said that they did that, which they didn't.
00:31:08.220But here's another thing. Right now, as we speak, we have 23.
00:31:11.100The team that I'm working with, we have 23 AMSETs, American citizens and safe houses.
00:31:15.060And, you know, a safe house in that area is only safe until the first time we use it.
00:31:18.620Getting supplies is nearly impossible.
00:31:23.680I've got a mom and two and two young ladies, two young girls that one of the young girls has severe infections in her legs.
00:31:31.160The State Department knows this because we she was in Kabul and we were trying to get the State Department to help us get her through the gate because for severe medical need and they couldn't help us.
00:31:40.580We've had to now transport her to another country.
00:33:36.740And you're like, are you rooting for the man to die?
00:33:40.980Yeah, I mean, what what ended up happening to me is that I had to immediately get away because all of a sudden my face gets plastered all over international news.
00:37:36.020These guys, when they're not doing what they're doing right now, what their what their real job is, which they volunteer their time for is to go get young men and young women out of sex trafficking that had been kidnapped or sold into to the rings.
00:37:49.600And they do it all over the all over the world.
00:37:51.480And that's what it's called the Sentinel Foundation.
00:38:18.420I will tell you, I've never seen senators and congressmen as powerless as they are in the government.
00:38:26.620The State Department's not afraid of no packs of senators and congressmen working together.
00:38:33.060No, I truly believe the reason why they had they released that ridiculous story and even said that I was lost in Afghanistan, which wasn't true, was because they wanted to get a headline.
00:38:44.460They wanted to put the pressure on me and make me leave because they knew what was going to happen.
00:39:28.500And when they strip away the power of the people and they take it and they centralize it.
00:39:34.080And which is exactly what this administration is openly trying to do.
00:39:37.780I mean, they are embracing socialism and they will use anything possible, including the sold out media.
00:39:45.580That is not you, but the sold out, you know, the media going to corporate media, just do whatever they want to and put out their message.
00:39:52.720I will MSB and BC shouldn't even be on the air.
00:39:54.900I will tell you, well, they have a right to free speech.
00:39:58.340The what's what's crazy to me is Joe Biden being so bold yesterday, saying he will get those governors like Greg Abbott out of the people's way on his new vaccine mandate.
00:40:14.320You have quite a job ahead of you to hold the hold tight to the Constitution.
00:42:38.560I'm going to ask somebody, somebody who is very fair, very honest, very frank, to comment on this particular phrase that came from the president last night.
00:42:52.920My plan also takes on elected officials in states that are undermining you and these life-saving actions.
00:43:01.120Right now, local school officials are trying to keep children safe in a pandemic while their governor picks a fight with them and even threatens their salaries or their jobs.
00:51:00.240Number two, he has the right as the leader of the executive branch to tell all his employees who work for the federal government, you got to get vaxxed.
00:55:31.280If you don't, you know, and as long as you're not sick.
00:55:35.580I mean, when people get sick, they go away and they get tested and they're away until they have clean tests just because that's what we do.
00:56:12.700But if you don't follow the executive order, then the Department of Labor can find Mercury.
00:56:20.780And so they and that's what they might do if they find out.
00:56:24.160Well, as long as I can find a John Adams that will stand up and defend this despicable human being and his company called Mercury, as long as there's a John Adams within the sound of my voice that will defend us, I will fight it in court.
00:56:41.780Because you don't have someone to do that for you.
01:02:09.760What we don't know is how the whole thing can be fixed, because you can expect for the next three and a half years and into the campaign that the corporate media will be in the tank for Joe Biden.
01:02:22.100And they are not going to report things like this.
01:02:48.420So the low information voter, the people who don't know anything, the people who smoke pot around the clock, they're going to hear these ads.
01:04:07.300If you have a MyPillow and some of those Giza sheets.
01:04:10.740Now, I don't know if our president is sleeping in that kind of luxury, but he should be because he spends a lot of time seepy-seeps.
01:04:20.800Giza Dream Sheets are on sale now for a limited time at 50% off with the promo code BECK, made with Giza cotton, softest cotton in the world.
01:04:29.040And they just got softer the more you use them.
01:04:31.760Every time you sleep on them, every time you wash them, they're softer.
01:05:06.800Bill, I want to ask you one more question about the vaccine mandates as it relates to Afghanistan.
01:05:12.960You said earlier that this is clearly just him trying to distract people.
01:05:19.860However, I see everything that is going on, and again, I watch the news differently than most people, but I see things that are going on and the way Afghanistan went.
01:05:32.860And everything that they do seems so minuscule.
01:05:39.840We're worried about the kids in the school with the mask.
01:06:58.640If you look at the whole world, all right, which I do because that's my job, all right, there has never been a socialist country that has not been run in a fairly totalitarian way.
01:07:32.060All right, Bill, let me switch to Afghanistan.
01:07:35.420I've never seen our government openly, openly standing on the wrong side of the lives of American citizens like they are now.
01:07:53.220The State Department has crossed the Rubicon into I don't even know what.
01:07:59.260There are many, many Americans that are still trapped there, and the State Department, by all accounts, I have not seen anyone that is a private group that is trying to get these people out.
01:08:15.940There's no nonprofits, NGOs, not a single one that I have seen says anything other than this White House and the State Department are obstructing us every step of the way.
01:09:19.860You know, 9-11 anniversary tomorrow, and I'm doing a lot of interviews.
01:09:23.020And the question is, are we safer now?
01:09:27.780And I say, yeah, tomorrow we're safer than we were 20 years ago because the USA was successful in eradicating Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.
01:09:37.120And booting the Taliban out so we had some control over that terror haven.
01:09:42.300And then, of course, we got bin Laden, and then Al-Qaeda collapsed.
01:09:45.480So, yeah, right now we're safer than we were the day before, 9-11, 20 years ago.
01:09:51.100But in six months, when ISIS will reconstitute inside Afghanistan, so will Al-Qaeda, training camps will be set up, recruiting camps will be set up.
01:12:33.160So, are you saying that the people that actually, you know, the thing I like about David Horowitz is that he was a radical in the 60s and changed because he saw what his policies, what he was screaming about, led to the deaths of all of the people, you know, in the Far East after we pulled out.
01:13:01.940And he saw that and he realized you people don't actually care about anybody.
01:13:07.140Do you do you think that there are any women that are looking at this and saying, wait a minute, I thought you guys believed in something or is it?
01:13:22.260I'm sure there are times up women and whatever else they're doing.
01:13:27.020But, no, I really believe that people who allow ideology to consume them, and this is on all spectrums, they lose sight of what's real, of what actually is happening because they're lost in their ideology trying to justify everything they do.
01:13:48.920And so, you don't hear women's groups in America saying, oh, these Afghan women.
01:14:18.62020 years ago tomorrow, 9-11, your reflection on this.
01:14:24.900Well, I ran a clip of my report on Fox News last night on the No Spin News, and I wouldn't change a word of it, what I reported on 20 years ago.
01:17:10.260It's the guy who is working the ticket counter on September 11th, and he checked in everybody into the flight that eventually plowed into the Pentagon.
01:17:26.940And he, a couple of guys came up late and said, like, we have to get on the plane.
01:18:35.680So we're going to share a couple of stories that you've never heard before coming up at the top of the hour as we reflect on September 11th.
01:18:46.080As we are, as we are reflecting tomorrow on September 11th, trying to teach our kids, there are interviews and stories that you have to hear that we have done over the years that are posted at glennbeck.com.
01:19:05.860And I urge you to share them with your kids so they know what happened.
01:21:05.420By the way, it's now a holiday in Afghanistan.
01:21:11.480Please take the time to remember and gain some perspective on not only, um, what this event means, but, but what your life means, um, what America means and how fragile we really are.
01:21:31.420You'll find that all at glennbeck.com.
01:21:34.500We share some of those stories that you've never heard before coming up in just a minute on this program.
01:22:08.740And, and these guys fight really hard to protect, uh, the constitutional values we all care about.
01:22:14.780The Supreme court could take that away, obviously, as we've seen so many times, uh, and packing the court is just a path to, to put in every liberal fever dream.
01:22:25.040They've ever wanted, um, a lot of big organizations are fighting against this, uh, but real, real power player here is first Liberty Institute.
01:22:33.820Um, right now, um, you can join them, uh, go to, uh, Supreme coup.com Supreme coup.com, uh, sign your name to help these leaders by September 15th.
01:23:49.160The most powerful stories are the stories that are real and told by the person that actually experienced them.
01:23:59.840This hour, we're going to give you an update on our, uh, rescue, uh, attempts in, uh, Afghanistan, but we're also going to take you right to where it started September 11th.
01:24:14.840Some reflections and personal stories around our electronic campfire in 60 seconds.
01:33:49.720Once it became known, people didn't talk to me.
01:33:53.520And I, I had this wild kind of thing in my mind that everything that happened on September
01:34:04.26011th was my fault personally, that I could have changed it.
01:34:08.760I, I felt there was no place for me in the world.
01:34:14.440There were all these support groups and I didn't belong there because how do I sit in a room with people that are, that are mourning and crying and they're like, you know, what's your role in this whole thing?
01:34:28.400Well, I checked in, well, I checked in a couple of the hijackers and made sure they got on the flight.
01:34:31.520I might go weeks or months and everything would be just going along fine and then there would be something that would trigger it.
01:34:40.520I was checking in somebody and what she said was, my husband got killed on September 11th.
01:34:50.520And what I heard was, you killed my husband on September 11th, you know, you don't really move past it.
01:35:02.960It's still always there in some form, but now, you know, I'm able to talk about it.
01:35:12.200I mean, I feel like in, in some ways I've, I really have come out of a shadow and I'm, I'm back in the light now.
01:35:33.500We're going to try to reach out and, and see if we can get ahold of him.
01:35:37.320You know, I, I don't think I've ever, I don't think I, I can recall a story that is as big and profound as this,
01:35:46.940where I didn't even think of the people at the, at the counter checking in maybe in the, maybe around that time.
01:36:01.500I, I might've in a passing thought thought, wow, how would it be if you were, but I never really thought how alone those people were in their grief.
01:36:56.440And, you know, part of, part of what we try and do, it's so, it's, it's hard for, you know, there's the saying that, you know, that, that one death is a tragedy.
01:37:07.020A thousand deaths is a, you know, is a, is a, is a statistic.
01:37:12.100And what we try and do with story core is, is remind people, you know, the, the sanctity of, of every single life and of every single story.
01:37:20.440Dave, I, I, I, I can't thank you enough for what you're doing.
01:37:24.360I mean, it, it is, you know, when, when societies begin to separate themselves and they no longer see themselves as one, um, those societies are, are headed towards really bad things.
01:37:40.540And we've so demonized one another and we have isolated ourselves, even though we have connections like we've never had in the history of all mankind.
01:37:50.540Um, and we don't know each other and, um, keeping our humanity is going to mean the difference between the horrors of what we know man can do, uh, and the great things that we know man can do.
01:38:10.860And I think you're playing a big role in that.
01:38:14.920You know, we, what we, what we usually talk about when I come on is, uh, one small step, which is this new effort of story core.
01:38:22.420You know, we've had 750,000 people who love each other come to story core and with one small step, we're putting strangers across the political divide together.
01:38:29.720And, and your show has become the number one, number one refer for conservatives in the country.
01:39:10.840Um, the idea is to have a conversation with someone who, um, is on the opposite side of the political divides, not about your politics, but just about who you are as human beings so that we can begin to see each other again.
01:39:22.400Mother Teresa said, we've forgotten that we belong to each other.
01:39:25.140Um, and we can, we, you know, either, either we keep going down the path we're going.
01:39:31.840Um, and if that, if that happens, the only thing we know for sure is it's not going to end well.
01:39:38.760And I hope that your listeners will help us, um, you know, lead the country down that other path where it can be like September 12th, where you can begin to see each other again.
01:39:47.560And, and we can, you know, be the greatest country that we can possibly be.
01:39:56.480Um, come sign up, be a part of this, get to know, uh, through a conversation over, um, a secure, uh, portal that goes to the library of Congress, get to know someone on the, on the opposite side of the political divides.
01:40:09.880Um, everybody who's done this has had a good experience.
01:40:12.720It always ends with people asking for the phone numbers of the people that they talk to.
01:40:16.920In fact, I have to say the last time it was on, we played a story of a mother and her son, the kid had Asperger's syndrome.
01:40:24.420And afterwards, um, she is a newspaper columnist and someone from your show reached out and said, I don't believe, uh, I don't, I don't agree with anything you say in politics, but we agree on the most important things in life, which is about how to raise a family and how to raise our children.
01:40:39.260I want to do a one small step recording with you.
01:40:41.560So hopefully next time I come on, they'll have, Oh, that'd be great.
01:40:56.280It has been, uh, it's been crazy talk to say that the dollar was going to, uh, uh, be devalued that we would, you know, enter into some sort of inflationary period because we would just go crazy spending money and printing money.
01:41:20.000Now that's, uh, for, uh, production inflation.
01:41:24.140So all the producers on what it's taking to produce in August, it is taking 8.3% inflation in, which is going to be passed on to you.
01:41:35.280So it's the leading indicator of what you're paying.
01:41:38.440Um, I'm telling you now, bad inflation is coming and you're going to, you're going to be, they're going to, they're moving towards a digital dollar.
01:41:48.460Um, and when that happens, you could take a 60 to 40% haircut.
01:41:54.980Um, it's happened before in America and it's going to happen again and it's not good.
01:41:59.980Please protect yourself with an investment in something that is a collectible.
01:42:05.020That is, you know, people, rich people are now buying cars, old cars and stuff because they don't believe in the value of the dollar.
01:42:26.000They're extending their special on these coins and giving you a free silver maple flex bar and a free one ounce silver gold line branded bar, which each tube of Indian coins purchased.
01:43:15.140I gave a speech last night here in Texas, um, to a few hundred people that had gathered to, to, uh, help raise money for Louie Goelmert, congressman from Texas.
01:43:40.100They're simple, but they are not easy.
01:43:43.540And because they are so simple, um, too many reject them or roll their eyes.
01:43:50.580But I'm telling you, just by reaching out and being charitable in any way that you can, being kind to one another, remembering what your mom taught you was right and what was wrong.
01:44:04.660And not what this social media era is teaching you, right and wrong.
01:44:11.640Um, and I thank you so much for your prayers.
01:44:15.040We need them, uh, especially over the weekend for the Nazarene Fund.
01:44:24.500So, it's that time of the year where I, uh, you know, have beautiful, beautiful weather where we can cook outside and I can invite some of my oldest, dearest friends to come over to the house and, and, uh, have a, you know, barbecue.
01:44:40.600Um, and I might even invite stew this time.
02:01:00.080How can I be part of the solution and not make things worse?
02:01:03.680Who can I reach out to and heal the wounds of this broken nation?
02:01:14.880With charity for all and malice toward none.
02:01:18.200A few years ago I started a business off the side with my brother and it was really kind of a personal passion thing because we both had really bad experiences with trying to sell our house.
02:01:34.400How do you even interview a real estate agent?
02:01:40.120I was doing work with the 500 best real estate agents in the country according to the Wall Street Journal and I learned from them and I know there are things that you look for.
02:01:49.680So what we did is we started a company that could be a referral service for those kinds of agents.
02:01:55.340The best of the best, the ones who know how to get the most dollar for your house or the cheapest price for the house you're moving into.
