On today's show, Glenn Beck is joined by a very special guest who has never appeared on the show before: his grandkids. They talk about the drag queen show that Joe Biden hosted at a gay bar in Dallas, TX.
00:04:13.960It's a supplement that you sprinkle on the food.
00:04:15.960Dogs love it because it tastes amazing.
00:04:17.840And meanwhile, they're getting all the vitamins and minerals and other things that will contribute to a healthy life for them.
00:04:24.680The people at Rough Greens are so confident your dog is going to love it that they have a special deal for you at roughgreens.com slash Beck.
00:04:31.200They're going to give you a first bag free.
00:05:42.420I think the main issue here is why over and over again are the American people requiring drag queens to wait until four years old to dance in front of them?
00:06:46.020It was a lesbian thing that was happening there.
00:06:48.960Um, now the government is very, very concerned about what happened in January, on January 6th.
00:06:55.840Um, and they have turned to some help to make sure that America will really truly understand what's going on.
00:07:03.140Uh, they have, um, um, they've, they've turned to a former network news executive to hone a mountain of quote, explosive material into a captivating multimedia presentation for a prime time hearing Thursday.
00:07:22.400Then the love boat, you have James Goldston.
00:07:30.520He's the former president of ABC news and a mastery, a master documentary storyteller who ran good morning America and nightline.
00:07:40.580And he has now joined the committee of un-American activities on January 6th as an unannounced advisor.
00:07:50.960Now, if you'll say to yourself, gee, um, making this into a prime time special and hyping it like this, um, and having an ABC producer and former president, uh, that ran good morning America.
00:08:33.140He also wants it to draw the eyeballs of Americans who haven't followed the ins and outs of the Capitol riot probe.
00:08:40.920So he says it's going to be a mix of live witnesses and pre-produced video.
00:08:48.260And at the end, you can vote on a special one 900 number.
00:08:54.000The committee has gained access to the official White House photographs from January 6th that have never been seen publicly.
00:09:02.360And we will open Donald Trump's vault.
00:09:08.120Geraldo Rivera will be there to open it up.
00:09:11.680Um, now there's, I mean, I don't, you know, I of course think this is a great idea, you know, to, you know, make our, our hearings into a prime time made for TV special.
00:09:26.320Who could think that's a problem, but, um, I just want to point out, this guy has deep, deep experience on, on knowing what America needs to see and not see.
00:09:38.400For instance, um, he was, um, he was the guy apparently that said, Epstein, what Epstein stories?
00:09:52.420We don't need your stinking Epstein stories here.
00:09:55.900Uh, he was the guy that, uh, yeah, kind of, uh, buried that for ABC.
00:10:01.880Remember that being a kind of a problem.
00:10:04.580In a letter, ABC news, president James Goldston, the guy that, uh, we were just talking about, uh, wrote, they're deeply concerned that this victim in search of justice went to ABC news.
00:10:54.060Why do you think he's got those questions too?
00:10:56.200I've got an answer and love to hear yours.
00:10:58.560I don't know why he's bringing it up at this very moment per se, though, you know, considering he's getting really escalated criticism from many of the people who, uh, are around, have, were around Jeffrey Epstein when, of course, he was alive back in those days.
00:11:17.960Uh, those people seem to be highly critical of Elon.
00:11:20.480Um, like whom, like, is there any one person that might jump to the, to the head of the class on that one?
00:11:33.600He was so intertwined with the entire Democratic Party.
00:11:35.820Just throwing a name out, Bill Gates, he's been, he's been very, very critical of, uh, of Elon Musk, um, and seems to be leading the charge against him.
00:11:52.160And he also was the guy whose wife said, I can't live with you anymore, scumbag, because of what you were doing with Epstein.
00:12:02.260And the media, of course, responded, Epstein, what Epstein?
00:12:27.760He visited with him more often than almost anyone else.
00:12:32.180Uh, you know, when it comes to the high profile people, it was uncomfortable.
00:12:36.720When, when, when you're on the plane more than Bill Clinton, that's saying something.
00:12:45.720Didn't he say too, he was like a smooth guy.
00:12:47.000Hey, he was just trying to get his hard drive fixed.
00:12:50.000Didn't, didn't he, didn't he say something like, I mean, cause he met him, he met with him, even though some of the stuff had gone on.
00:12:57.520He continued to meet with him after a lot of those things were accused.
00:13:00.940And he also kind of, he almost complimented him as being like, he lives a crazy, crazy life.
00:13:10.020I mean, you know, while he's a wild guy, he's a wild and crazy guy, which, uh, I think was usually Steve Martin who would say that, but he, this, in this case, it was Bill Gates.
00:13:21.620And it does seem like a strange thing to say about a guy who's been accused and, uh, has already gotten in trouble for hooking up with underage girls at the time.
00:13:31.680It's especially when your wife, Melinda, uh, is saying to you, stop it.
00:14:03.740I do think that he has something to, to answer to on this.
00:14:07.000And he does not seem to, uh, to really be interested in doing so.
00:14:11.580He did come out and say, oh, these meetings were a huge mistake.
00:14:14.220Uh, yeah, it's easy to say that, you know, when, uh, when the guy has hung himself in prison, allegedly, uh, it's easy to say that now, but it doesn't seem like there's much, there's much scrutiny going on over that relationship other than by Melinda.
00:15:24.220He, he met with, I mean, this really would be an interesting thing to dive into and really look at closely.
00:15:29.780But he met with Gates multiple times, went to his condo multiple times, stayed late into the night at least once.
00:15:37.700Uh, his quote was, his lifestyle is very different and kind of intriguing.
00:15:42.880Although it would not work for me, said Mr. Gates in 2011, after his first get together with Mr. Epstein.
00:15:50.000Now, again, remember his townhouse is the one that has on the walls, like pictures of like naked underaged girls that are quote unquote art.
00:28:22.060You know, one of the interesting parts about how we've added so many guns in this country.
00:28:25.920And by the way, our our violence rate has dropped in half as we've added 150 million guns to
00:28:31.340the society, which is weird if guns are the ones causing the crime.
00:28:34.160But one of the interesting parts about all of these new guns is so many of them, a much
00:28:38.800higher proportion than previously, have come to women.
00:28:42.840Women are buying guns because they would like to defend themselves against stalkers.
00:28:47.780I mean, you know, the left is the one telling us that almost every male is a rapist.
00:28:53.200The left is the one telling us that every every male is going around attacking women constantly.
00:28:58.940The Me Too movement informed us that every woman is likely to be raped every three to four weeks in the society.
00:29:05.940Yet for some reason, those same people don't want women armed like I don't know.
00:29:11.420It seems like a really good way to defend yourself against these terrible crimes that are happening at a much less frequent rate than the left claims, but still are happening.
00:29:20.500And women should be able to defend themselves.
00:29:22.840I don't know why they're against that.
00:29:51.280As we all know, if there was to be, let's say, a boxing match between Leah Thomas and any of the other women on
00:29:58.820her team, the odds would be even money.
00:30:01.820There would be no favorite in the race because they're exactly the same.
00:30:06.460They have no difference in their body mass at all.
00:30:09.200And certainly it wouldn't be at all disturbing to the American people to see a boxing match between Leah Thomas and one of her female teammates.
00:30:56.420She is now saying that the police in Uvalde have warned her that she will be charged with obstruction of justice if she didn't stop telling her story.
00:31:09.920She's on probation for a crime she is said to have committed nearly 10 years ago and added that a local judge said there would be no legal repercussions for telling her story, but the police are threatening her.
00:31:54.900I'm just glad that instead of focusing on what the police may have done wrong in this situation, they're they're focusing on on the parents.
00:32:03.020I think that's the right focus right now, I think, to make sure that the parents of this particular community are held to the highest possible standard.
00:32:13.280And not not the police, not the people who who could have prevented some of the death, but the people who lost their children.
00:32:20.280Those are the people to focus on right now.
00:32:28.560I mean, it's almost like I have the head of the Justice Department in studio with me today.
00:32:33.960By the way, if Joe Biden really wanted to stop people that were buying guns illegally and everything else, he would start with his own son.
00:32:44.440Why is it that no one is mentioning Joe Biden's son, Hunter, who not only appears to have purchased a gun illegally, but then his I'm trying to figure out how to explain.
00:33:02.600Stu, how do you explain the person that was your brother's wife that you are having crazy heroin induced sex with after he dies and probably before he dies, too?
00:33:16.380You've identified a real problem here because there is no section at Hallmark for this.
00:33:25.580They have not come up with the correct.
00:33:26.680My hot sister-in-law, who's just lost her husband, what card is made for her?
00:33:32.700Anyway, he was very upset because she took his gun and threw it away in a garbage dumpster.
00:33:42.280And then the Secret Service went to go pick it up, which is really weird.
00:33:47.320I know if I would have committed that.
00:33:49.100I know for a fact the Secret Service or the state police or even my local sheriff would have absolutely gone dumpster diving for it and then just not said anything to me about it.
00:34:01.420Just written it off as a mistake, you know?
00:34:18.940So that is one reason just on its surface to live in fear.
00:34:23.720But I lived one block away from the river in between New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
00:34:29.500And so to commute to New York every day when we did the show in New York, I would have to cross that bridge and drive to the Trenton train station.
00:34:36.020And again, yes, I feared for my life there, but that was not – that's not what I'm talking about.
00:34:39.860What I'm talking about is as a legal gun owner in the state of Pennsylvania that has, you know, what you would say is probably moderate gun laws, a purplish state,
00:34:51.720if I happened to cross that bridge with my gun in my trunk and get pulled over, I would be going to prison.
00:35:01.240That – and, you know, when you live in that community, you run across a street all the time, especially for gas, because gas is the one thing that is cheap in New Jersey.
00:35:11.140So you go across the river, you go get gas.
00:35:13.240If you get pulled over while that's happening, you could be in real trouble.
00:35:17.800Yeah, I hear that you're right on the gas.
00:35:19.920I hear it's almost $18 now a gallon in New Jersey.
00:35:49.340So congratulations for living in, especially California, where did you, I don't know if you saw this, the price of gas was $9.56 at one gas station.
00:36:17.180Back in just a minute, our sponsor this half hour is Tunnel to Towers.
00:36:23.760Sometimes the people we send out to defend our freedom don't come back, and sometimes when they do, they come back forever different than the person they were before.
00:36:32.780As patriotic Americans, we not only have the privilege to enjoy freedom, it is our duty to fight for it,
00:36:43.700and it is our duty to uphold those who fight for it.
00:36:47.280And I'm not just talking about the heroes that die in the desert or, you know, someplace we don't even know we're fighting in, honestly.
00:36:55.780But also the first responders, I'm sorry, the second responders, the police and the fire.
00:37:04.060The fire and police that go out every day and leave their family and get crap for it every day and don't know what they're going to face or if they're even going to come home.
00:37:12.820And when they don't come home, just like our military heroes, if there's a family left behind and a mortgage, Tunnel to Towers takes care of that mortgage.
00:37:22.840And now through Operation Home Base, Tunnel to Towers is gifting tiny homes to homeless veterans.
00:37:29.400Our nation's heroes need our attention.
00:37:32.560While our freaking federal government is taking money from our VA hospitals and shipping that cash so we can have more doctors and medicine down at our open borders,
00:37:47.580maybe we can take care of things ourselves.
00:37:52.120Will you join Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good in honor of our heroes?
00:39:09.680As much as we understand spacemen, we will understand artificial general intelligence because it's not biological and it's completely different than us and it won't think like us.
00:39:23.060Well, they open AI has a site and they were using this.
00:39:30.300You could you could type in and say, hey, I want to you know, I want to see a picture of vegetables and farmers and it would come up with a picture.
00:39:41.620It would draw a picture of what you just typed.
00:39:43.980OK, well, the problem is, is as it went on, it was making like little captions for them and it and they didn't make any sense to the researchers.
00:39:57.460One of them was, let's see, vegetables.
00:40:42.300The very first time this has ever happened, there is a new study on rectal cancer and it's been given to all of the patients and all of them are in remission.
00:41:19.240I want to talk to you a little bit about sweat block.
00:41:21.020If you've not tried this yet, you need to.
00:41:23.980I will tell you, I use their antiperspirant and deodorant stick.
00:41:29.260I've used it all winter because I live in Dallas where it's the fires of hell hot and I'm up here at the ranch now and I'm going to be working outside.
00:41:39.080I'm using their wipes and it's incredible.
00:44:30.400In fact, just recently, the company information stolen from that breach was dumped on Telegram free for anyone to see and could be used for scams and phishing emails.
00:45:20.560Use the promo code BECK, 25% off 1-800-LIFELOCK or lifelock.com.
00:45:27.920So, I flew up to the ranch this weekend.
00:45:33.960I went into Park City Fine Art and brought all of the paintings up for the new art show that is happening this, well, I think it actually starts today in Park City.
00:45:46.360And I'm going to be there on Friday and Saturday.
00:45:48.420And I tell you, I just, I am in shock from the gas price.
00:46:33.640$5 a gallon gasoline is now in nine different states.
00:46:40.780Several other states are just a few pennies away from it.
00:46:43.980The average cost of a gallon of regular gasoline reached $4.85 yesterday.
00:46:52.060That's an additional $0.03 from Saturday and $0.24 from last week.
00:46:59.400If you're in Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, or Washington, you're now paying more than $5 a gallon.
00:47:10.360And in California, according to AAA, you are now paying $6.33 a gallon on average.
00:50:25.220It gives you the opportunity to explain it.
00:50:28.600And here's what you say to your friends.
00:50:30.340ESG is a very Chinese style model for the government and the financial system to rank us on who's being best with social justice and environmental and governance.
00:50:49.520How many women do we have on the board of directors?
00:50:52.320How many blacks do we have on the board of directors, et cetera, et cetera?
00:50:55.280Now, you might agree with all of those things, but this is forcing the companies to abandon their search for gasoline.
00:51:05.880They cannot build any new drill sites.
00:51:11.300They can't pump any oil because they're not getting the loans from the banks.
00:51:17.400So the capitalist system is now a shareholder system.
00:51:22.520And the first place you're seeing this or, sorry, stakeholder system, you're now seeing in the first place its results in gasoline.
00:51:37.480I think people still think that there's hope that this will go down.
00:51:42.040No, the left's hope is that you won't catch on until it's too late, that you'll continue to believe that this gas problem, our inflation problem, our food inflation problem, is caused by something else and it's only temporary.
00:53:33.560You know, when Biden canceled the drilling leases in the Gulf and then blocked energy exploration in the oil rich part of Alaska.
00:53:43.760Gas and oil prices creeped up for two straight weeks when he canceled our pipelines, gas and oil went up.
00:53:54.120If he really believed that this was for the planet and not to hurt our gas and oil explorers and companies, if he really was doing it for the planet, why would one of the first things he do is open a pipeline for Europe from Russia?
00:54:16.360And then go to war with Russia to try to stop all of that oil coming through a pipeline.
00:55:11.980Can you can you just look it up for me?
00:55:13.560Um, so the inflation rate, it is not that the actual shadow stat, meaning the way we used to measure it back when we were talking about Jimmy Carter.
00:55:25.540If you measure those same items, we are now up to about 17 percent inflation.
00:55:32.800Your food at home index over the last 12 months, it costs you 10.8 percent more than the same set of groceries that you had last year.
00:56:44.240So you will go out and buy a new electric car, but that will drive up the cost of your electricity because we are shutting down coal plants.
00:56:55.180We're shutting down or turning down nuclear plants.
00:56:59.320We are replacing this energy with an unreliable energy of solar and wind.
00:57:28.180This broadcast today is one hundred percent green.
00:57:33.040We never know if we are going to have enough energy day to day.
00:57:40.280There when I have the whole family up here with me, we have to turn things off beginning at eight o'clock at night just so we don't get rid of any more of the solar energy.
00:59:45.440So our sponsor this half hour is Patriot Mobile.
00:59:53.140Free speech, religious liberty, Second Amendment across the country.
00:59:57.240Your constitutional rights are under constant attack, both by the left and even by some of those who are supposed to be on the right.
01:00:04.780And it's getting worse by the day, which is one of the reasons I am proud to now partner with Patriot Mobile.
01:00:10.520They are not only America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider, but they are also one of the few companies that are fighting back every single day for the loss of our freedoms.
01:00:21.240They are fighting against those people who are trying to take those freedoms away, and they do it with their own profits.
01:00:29.620They have a plan now to fit any budget.
01:00:31.820They have 100 percent U.S.-based customer support team, gives amazing personal service.
01:00:36.300Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports organizations fighting for religious freedom, constitutional rights, sanctity of life, and our veteran and first responder heroes.
01:00:46.920You're paying too much already, and you're paying it to a company that is fighting against everything that you believe.
01:01:45.460And there is legislation that is evolving now in Congress, and they want to make sure that for middle and low income workers, there is a retirement plan.
01:01:57.780These retirement plans never work out because governments always take that money and they spend it elsewhere.
01:02:53.700I get up to the ranch and they had already sold three of them.
01:02:59.000I'm just I'm amazed and I am flattered.
01:03:03.140Go to Park City Fine Art if you want to see them.
01:03:06.960If you're thinking about purchasing one of the originals, you might want to think about doing it before Saturday if there's a favorite of yours.
01:03:14.940But I'll be there Friday and Saturday.
01:04:07.600With food prices going the way they're going, please, please, I urge you to not put yourself into a situation where you have to be one of those people that are looking for a handout.
01:04:20.180Not everyone is in this position right now.
01:05:52.560Now, in a historic victory for our commonwealth, I have become the first black Kentuckian to receive the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate.
01:06:03.500If you don't have the Blaze TV and you're not watching this, this is a guy running against Senator Rand Paul, and he is speaking, but he's standing with a tree behind him and a noose around his neck.
01:06:20.900It is one of the most outrageous, salacious, and quite honestly, just wrong ad I have ever seen.
01:06:59.440It kind of reminds me of Jussie Smollett.
01:07:01.920It's sort of an attention getter, you know, based on a hoax based on a lie.
01:07:06.680He says in the ad, oh, that I blocked a bill on lynching, which is absolutely untrue.
01:07:13.460I actually worked with the authors of the bill for over a year to make sure that it punished actual lynching and didn't punish minor brush up against somebody, calling people names, graffiti, things like that.
01:07:26.080The way they had originally written the bill was Black Lives Matter, remember, painted graffiti on the church in Lafayette Square.
01:07:32.740That, under their original writing of the bill, would have been considered lynching and punishable by 10 years in prison for conspiracy to lynch by doing graffiti, which obviously is not lynching and demeans the horrific thing that happened in our history.
01:07:48.300So anyway, I just want to get the bill right.
01:07:49.940So we did punish people who actually did this horrific crime but didn't punish people, you know, who slapped somebody or did something.
01:07:56.140Even if there is a punishment, it's not the same as lynching.
01:07:58.820But for that, this guy really does the whole Jussie Smollett thing, puts a noose on himself, pretends as if he's being lynched.
01:09:17.400And I was telling you that we also experienced, you know, recently a mom whose son was shot and lost both of his eyes, five-year-old kid.
01:09:26.380And so I think when you, you know, think you're Jussie Smollett and put a noose around your head and start doing that, you distract from the real violent problems that we do need to work with.
01:09:36.760You know, we need to figure out how to get more stability, more fathers in the home.
01:09:41.180We need to figure out how to get more police patrols.
01:09:44.720You know, this guy that I'm running against also wants to defund the police.
01:09:51.900And then he somehow thinks that putting a noose around his head is going to be something that's of use to making or allowing for less violence.
01:10:02.060And not to minimize racism, I lived in Kentucky for a while back in the 80s, and there was still problems with race, but it has been getting better.
01:10:14.520And I know I know you well enough to know you take race seriously.
01:10:20.720Let's talk about a couple of other things.
01:10:22.440This is really getting to me what we're doing in Ukraine.
01:10:27.860We just sent them more money than I think almost more money by about maybe five billion dollars than the country of Russia spends in a year in their Department of Defense.
01:10:45.100I don't see any accountants going with it.
01:10:48.260And then we keep like last week, we sent them another seven hundred million dollars just out of the blue.
01:10:53.780And then we sent them a missile system that Russia came out today and said, if any of these missiles land in Russia, we will strike America's homeland with a nuke.
01:11:58.300And so I think that we do need to rethink this.
01:12:01.600And I'm sympathetic to the cause of the Ukrainians.
01:12:03.760But, you know, charity begins at home and you can't give you can't give away money you don't have.
01:12:08.880So I know this sounds paranoid, but I just don't trust these people in any way, shape or form, meaning our own government.
01:12:19.540Are we are we anxious to engage in a war over there?
01:12:25.200Because it seems like it, you know, I ask one simple thing that the special inspector general for Afghanistan, who's been on the job for a decade, who's got a whole team and does a great job of trying to prevent people from stealing our money and stealing our weapons.
01:12:39.740I ask that he be put in charge of Ukraine.
01:12:42.720His team said they could immediately start doing it.
01:12:45.060They're used to dealing in a war zone and flatly rejected not only by Democrats, but also by the hawkish leaders in the Republican Party who want to get us involved and really think that somehow this is this is going to be our war.
01:12:59.520And they don't care where it goes from here.
01:13:01.720And nobody's cost, cost, counseling, caution as far as the possibility of this expanding into a much larger war.
01:13:09.780So, no, we should be we should be worried about not that.
01:13:13.560You know, the thing is, is we can all I think we're unified and having sympathy for Ukraine.
01:13:17.120But at the same time, if you put missiles in there and they launch them on a Russian city and the war expands into Russia, you know, I think really the reaction of the Russians is unpredictable.
01:13:31.720Perfect. Perfect. Let's see. I've got so many things to ask you.
01:13:36.200I want to ask you about the disinformation, Fauci, and I know you're you're unveiling the penny plan budget today.
01:13:45.500And I'll let you pick if you can squeeze two of those DHS disinformation, Fauci.
01:13:51.600And if you want to give us some preview of the penny plan today.
01:13:55.740Well, the penny plan balances a budget in five years.
01:13:58.600And the reason I've chosen five years to balance the budget is when we have introduced a balanced budget amendment, Mike Lee and I did this a few years ago.
01:14:06.500The amendment says that the budget must be balanced in five years.
01:14:09.400Every Republican votes for it. And then guess what?
01:14:12.980When I put forward a budget that actually balances in five years, like the balanced budget amendment would command, I get, you know, maybe 20 out of 50.
01:14:19.760And so we put forward as a litmus test, you know, which Republicans are big government Republicans.
01:14:24.860You want to see who the good guys are, see who votes for the budget that balances in five years that I'll put forward.
01:14:30.700Now, here's the problem. About eight years ago, you could free spending and balance in five years.
01:14:35.700Then it was the penny plan. You could cut one percent and balance in five years.
01:14:39.860Now it's up to six pennies. So it's actually a six percent cut each year for five years.
01:14:44.640And some people sound like, oh, my goodness, that's so much. How could we ever do it?
01:14:49.040You could eliminate the Department of Education tomorrow and you would never miss it.
01:14:52.700You wouldn't fire one teacher. Yes, you wouldn't miss it.
01:14:55.400If you fire if you got rid of the entire Department of Education, you could probably get rid of half of the Department of Interior, most of the Department of Commerce.
01:15:02.500But the thing is, is even a six percent across the board to everything.
01:15:05.880There's that much waste in every department.
01:15:09.280Oh, easy. But I'm with you on eliminating these departments.
01:15:13.020We have to run or we do not keep our our freedom.
01:15:17.460What what the administration is doing in weaponizing each one of these administrative arms is terrifying when you look at it all put together.
01:15:29.200Forty seven different federal agencies have SWAT teams.
01:15:33.100So I'm not for gun control unless we're talking about controlling the guns of the government.
01:15:36.940And I think we've got too many people walking around with SWAT teams.
01:15:40.620Look, police, you know, need to have it in big cities where there's a lot of violence.
01:15:46.940But I don't think, you know, the Department of Education needs a SWAT team and they've got one.
01:15:52.660I am I am growing my growing concern over the fact that the states have not put in any kind of legislation to stop what happened.
01:16:05.160The last time we had covid, nobody is paying for any any of the constitutional stomping that they did.
01:16:17.020Fauci, nobody's asking any questions except you.
01:21:38.720Since I've begun listening to the Glenn Beck podcast, I've noticed a few unusual things.
01:21:43.840I have lost approximately 40 pounds, and certain people are attracted to me, not in the sexual way, but rather they are attracted to my intellect.
01:21:53.160Inversely, liberals seem to be repelled by my aura.
01:21:57.040I've noticed that liberal women are driven to hysteria, and liberal men tend to be reduced to tears.
01:22:02.660I'm so much happier with this new life.
