The Glenn Beck Program - Prince Andrew ARRESTED After Epstein Files Release？! ｜ Guests： Buck Sexton & Brendan Carr ｜ 2⧸19⧸26

00:00:00.000 When you let aero truffle bubbles melt, everything takes on a creamy, delicious, chocolatey glow.

00:00:06.320 Like that pile of laundry.

00:00:07.800 You didn't forget to fold it.

00:00:09.240 Nah, it's a new trend.

00:00:10.720 Wrinkled chic.

00:00:12.100 Feel the aero bubbles melt.

00:00:13.900 It's mind bubbling.

00:00:15.160 Will you ever get that weird feeling that you're paying for something and somehow you're paying again without knowing it?

00:00:21.740 I mean, you hand your money over every single month to a service that you just handed over to people

00:00:27.260 who you just assume that it stays in the lane of, you know, providing the service.

00:00:31.700 But more often, the big mobile companies, your bill doesn't just cover talk and text and data.

00:00:39.260 Part of that money ends up funding causes and organizations that don't line up at all with your values.

00:00:44.840 Well, Patriot Mobile was built as an alternative to that whole model.

00:00:48.480 Same nationwide coverage that you're used to.

00:00:51.100 Competitive pricing.

00:00:52.740 Customer service based right here in the U.S.

00:00:55.080 with a completely different philosophy about what your dollars should support.

00:00:58.880 So go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT.

00:01:02.180 Use the promo code Beck for a free month of service.

00:01:11.840 Hello, America.

00:01:13.100 You know we've been fighting every single day.

00:01:14.840 We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.

00:01:20.860 We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.

00:01:26.100 But to keep this fight going, we need you.

00:01:28.600 Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?

00:01:32.260 Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.

00:01:41.060 This isn't a podcast.

00:01:41.960 This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it.

00:01:45.880 So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.

00:01:51.000 Rate, review, share.

00:01:52.600 Together, we'll make a difference.

00:01:54.720 And thanks for standing with us.

00:01:55.980 Now let's get to work.

00:01:56.920 We'll be right back.

00:02:26.920 Glenn Beck is on

00:02:28.480 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:02:46.140 This is The Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:49.980 Glenn Beck is on

00:02:51.280 Hello, America.

00:02:54.180 We've got a lot to talk about today.

00:02:56.200 I've got the chairman of the FCC on who is getting it from all sides.

00:03:02.420 Are we now censoring, or is this what the FCC should be doing?

00:03:08.760 Brendan Carr is going to be joining me to answer those questions.

00:03:12.600 We also have Stephen Shaw on the population collapse that is coming. 0.66

00:03:18.320 Apparently, everybody is gay now, or bisexual, or transsexual. 0.96

00:03:22.780 That's what everybody is. Yet, no youth is having sex now. 0.96

00:03:27.520 And our population is absolutely collapsing.

00:03:31.020 And it's happening all over the world, why that matters.

00:03:34.880 I'm a little pissed off at Hershey for Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

00:03:38.780 I'm glad to know that I'm not insane.

00:03:41.060 I had one last week for Valentine's Day.

00:03:44.660 And, you know, you put things in your mouth and you're like,

00:03:47.400 and you almost want to spit it out because you're like, what is that?

00:03:51.320 That's not what I was expecting.

00:03:52.780 I thought it was just me.

00:03:54.920 I thought it was just me.

00:03:56.680 Sarah said the same thing.

00:03:58.520 We want to talk about this because Mr. Reese's has come out and he is pissed.

00:04:05.120 He's like, I've had Reese's Peanut Butter Cups my whole life.

00:04:08.240 Obviously, none of this is real.

00:04:11.020 The chocolate isn't real.

00:04:12.280 The peanut butter isn't real.

00:04:14.280 I mean, what is happening?

00:04:16.360 What is, can we just, please, can someone just, just anchor us back to something that we grew up with that hasn't changed anything?

00:04:28.820 Please, something, can something be real?

00:04:31.820 Well, but I want to start not with Cornyn, who is pissing me off, and the Republican Party, who is pissing me off.

00:04:38.980 I want to start with King Charles' brother, Prince Andrew, the former prince.

00:04:43.540 They arrested him.

00:04:45.980 Apparently, apparently they have arrested him today.

00:04:49.420 Why?

00:04:50.060 It's in connection with Epstein.

00:04:51.680 We're going to get to that here in just a second.

00:04:53.400 First, rapid radios.

00:04:55.300 When you are out hiking with your friends, sometimes you get separated, you know, or so I've heard.

00:05:00.900 I don't, I don't actually hike.

00:05:02.620 You know why?

00:05:03.120 I have good reason.

00:05:03.820 I don't hike, because if God wanted us to hike, he wouldn't have allowed us to invent ATVs, okay?

00:05:12.660 And then, also, just to stop you from hiking, like, oh, it's so healthy.

00:05:16.960 Really?

00:05:17.580 Two words.

00:05:18.400 Mountain lions.

00:05:20.000 Okay?

00:05:20.440 That's all I need to say.

00:05:21.720 But if you want to get eaten by a mountain lion, hope you have a rapid radio with you.

00:05:26.100 You know, when you mix trails, trees, mountain lions, you know, distance.

00:05:31.600 Hey, let's split up.

00:05:33.000 We'll meet at the car.

00:05:34.080 It's a really bad idea.

00:05:36.040 I'm just saying.

00:05:36.900 This is why I stay out of the outdoors.

00:05:38.680 Anyway, Rad1 from Rapid Radios, built for exactly these kinds of situations.

00:05:43.560 You can charge it, turn it on, you're connected, no fiddling with apps, no praying for bars, you know, on your phone.

00:05:49.020 Just clear, direct communication.

00:05:50.700 Hey, I've just been half eaten by a mountain lion.

00:05:54.100 Can somebody come find me?

00:05:55.640 Or, I'm running towards the car.

00:05:58.400 I'm not sure where I am.

00:06:00.440 Can somebody help me?

00:06:01.400 Yeah, Rapid Radios can.

00:06:02.640 RapidRadios.com.

00:06:04.060 Rapid Radios, the radio built for real life.

00:06:06.600 Communication redefined only at RapidRadios.com.

00:06:09.960 So, I'm guessing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

00:06:20.520 Oh, God.

00:06:21.760 Even that just sounds so snotty, doesn't it?

00:06:24.180 I just, I'm glad we don't.

00:06:26.520 I like watching them from afar. 0.99

00:06:28.480 I'm glad we don't have any of this crap. 0.99

00:06:30.540 Or do we? 0.99

00:06:31.400 Or do we?

00:06:31.940 Um, the, uh, the Windsor family.

00:06:35.100 I mean, really, you should look up, you should look up inbreeding and it should have their pictures there. 0.95

00:06:43.140 I mean, this is what happens when you are so inbred, uh, that you just kind of, you know, you start falling apart and you look insane and you're probably a little retarded. 1.00

00:06:51.380 And then you start thinking, maybe I could get away with having sex with kids. 0.99

00:06:54.960 Anyway, um, he's, you know, still under scrutiny for, uh, his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, but notice nobody is going to jail for actually having sex with children. 0.97

00:07:07.560 Okay.

00:07:08.740 Nobody is nobody.

00:07:11.560 No, that that's not the accusation with anybody.

00:07:14.520 Why, why is he, why was he arrested?

00:07:16.940 He was arrested for wrongdoing. 0.92

00:07:19.940 Well, I think having sex with underage kids is wrongdoing, but that again is not the wrongdoing.

00:07:26.800 He apparently, uh, was, uh, had some sort of misconduct with, um, with Jeffrey Epstein on possibly, is it secrets again?

00:07:42.600 Cause that's why the UK ambassador is in trouble because he was, he was releasing secrets to Jeffrey Epstein.

00:07:51.960 Um, and then the prime minister is in trouble because he knew that, uh, the UN, uh, the U, the UK ambassador to the United States was still friendly with Epstein.

00:08:04.560 And it came up in the security search and he said, ah, just, just dismiss it.

00:08:10.000 And then he later said, no, I didn't know anything about that.

00:08:12.980 He was friends with it.

00:08:13.840 And now we have the document show.

00:08:15.160 He did know.

00:08:16.820 So nobody's going to jail at all for any of this, uh, stuff.

00:08:21.060 And there's a new poll out that most Americans say, uh, that in fact, seven out of 10, 69% of Americans, this is a really quite large, believe their views were captured very well or extremely well in the statement that, um,

00:08:42.960 um, the way the hand, the files have been handled with convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein show that the wealthy and powerful people are rarely held, held accountable.

00:08:56.060 That's a problem.

00:08:57.100 When you have 70% of the population of the United States of America saying, if you're powerful or you're wealthy, you get away with anything, including raping children.

00:09:07.200 17% of the respondents believe the statement aligns with their views somewhat well.

00:09:14.580 Okay.

00:09:15.060 So you got nobody left.

00:09:16.920 I don't even think in this poll, you have anybody going, I don't know.

00:09:19.940 And you can't take a poll about anything with people having an opinion.

00:09:23.160 I don't have an opinion.

00:09:24.440 I don't know.

00:09:25.220 I can't comment on.

00:09:26.840 Nope.

00:09:27.400 Everybody is.

00:09:28.320 Everybody's cleared.

00:09:29.560 Everybody's clear on this one.

00:09:31.040 It's not good.

00:09:31.840 53% of respondents strongly agree that the files have lowered my trust in political and business leaders, along with 24% who say somewhat agree with it.

00:09:44.420 Republicans, 33% strongly agree.

00:09:47.560 35% somewhat agree.

00:09:50.120 So you're almost at 70% just with Republicans.

00:09:54.900 71% Democrats strongly agree.

00:09:57.740 17% somewhat agree with Democrats.

00:10:01.840 I mean, this is, this again is a little like, Hey, should we ask for ID before you vote?

00:10:10.240 This is universal.

00:10:12.940 And yet all that we're seeing is people playing politics with it.

00:10:17.560 That's it.

00:10:19.180 They're just playing politics with it.

00:10:21.040 They're saying one thing and then they get in and they do it.

00:10:23.480 We're going to do some investigations.

00:10:25.180 And then what happens to those investigations?

00:10:27.160 I mean, how long do we have to go with these unanswered questions with Jeffrey Epstein?

00:10:33.600 Honestly, UN panel on Epstein.

00:10:38.560 UN panel says that Epstein, his crimes may constitute crimes against humanity.

00:10:47.440 That's the UN crimes against humanity, but who was having sex with kids? 0.83

00:10:56.540 Who was it?

00:10:58.140 I don't have that answer.

00:10:59.500 Do you have that answer?

00:11:00.460 Have lots of suspicions, lots of suspects, but nobody's been named as doing that.

00:11:07.640 Here's a guy who ran in the highest circles of power.

00:11:11.940 The UN now says his crimes are crimes against humanity.

00:11:15.120 A man who trafficked minors or did he a man who somebody was operating in plain sight.

00:11:22.080 Everybody seemed to know it.

00:11:24.700 A man who died in federal custody or did he was his body taken out or was that just a bunch

00:11:33.200 of boxes underneath the sheet?

00:11:34.720 What the, what the hell at a time when we need trust more than ever, this is happening.

00:11:43.600 Well, we're going to get to the bottom of it.

00:11:45.380 Well, really?

00:11:45.840 Cause what's following is not clarity at all.

00:11:48.400 Not is anybody.

00:11:50.440 I have more and more questions on this.

00:11:53.420 Every time I think we're, we're getting going to get the answers, but they release stuff.

00:12:00.600 And you're like, wait a minute.

00:12:01.320 Well, that just opens up more.

00:12:02.620 It's not clarity.

00:12:03.500 It's fog.

00:12:04.720 And it's happening everywhere.

00:12:06.320 All both sides of the Atlantic investigations into child exploit, uh, exploitation rings.

00:12:12.340 You hear about that?

00:12:13.240 The grooming gangs in England.

00:12:15.600 We care so much about our children.

00:12:18.460 Well, you know what?

00:12:19.660 The problem with the Republicans, the problem with the, with the conservatives is they don't

00:12:24.040 care about your children.

00:12:25.140 Okay.

00:12:25.640 Okay. 1.00

00:12:25.680 Here's a group that is, they're grooming children to rape them. 0.99

00:12:31.320 It's a massive problem. 0.99

00:12:34.920 Fierce debates going on.

00:12:37.020 The grooming gangs are all there.

00:12:39.280 Should we investigate it?

00:12:40.920 I don't know.

00:12:41.640 Let's have parliament vote on it and parliament votes.

00:12:44.160 No, we shouldn't look into this.

00:12:46.880 Wait, what?

00:12:48.980 What?

00:12:52.040 I don't think you care about our children.

00:12:54.780 I'm beginning to think you're not really human.

00:12:59.400 I mean, really, I mean, how much, what happened to your humanity?

00:13:04.240 Do you have any humanity where, uh, you know what? 0.67

00:13:06.900 I think we should get down to the child rape stuff here in the United States, unresolved

00:13:11.720 questions about Epstein's network, missing records, you know, destroyed, they've destroyed,

00:13:17.660 uh, you know, who knew what, when they knew it, who was, uh, who was involved and the Republicans

00:13:24.620 and the Democrats, I think have both done it.

00:13:27.100 And then there's the border.

00:13:29.920 Tens of thousands of migrant children crossed into the United States over the last several

00:13:34.420 years under Biden.

00:13:35.680 Nobody said anything about it.

00:13:39.060 The government reports have acknowledged that many were released to sponsors with no real

00:13:45.140 follow-up and then they just kind of disappeared.

00:13:49.920 Now, what, what was happening there?

00:13:53.140 Okay.

00:13:53.580 This is not partisan rhetoric.

00:13:55.100 This is documented failure.

00:13:58.120 Now we found them and nobody seems to care that we found what a hundred thousand of these

00:14:02.620 kids.

00:14:03.080 Where were they?

00:14:03.860 What was happening to them?

00:14:04.840 I don't see any follow-up and the outrage that we all have on any topic lasts about 72

00:14:09.820 hours.

00:14:10.160 And then we move on.

00:14:11.020 Have you noticed that one?

00:14:13.620 I don't know what that says about us.

00:14:15.560 Is it say that we're overwhelmed, that there's just a new thing to be outraged on every 72 hours

00:14:20.900 that we're exhausted.

00:14:22.140 That's all we can do.

00:14:23.040 Does it say that we were fragmented into so many tribes that we're only pursuing accountability

00:14:30.200 when it hurts the other team?

00:14:33.020 Or does it say something even darker that we've become totally accustomed to scandal or worse?

00:14:40.320 This is what I, this is what I, this is what I, this is what the one I really fear.

00:14:45.760 Nothing's real anymore.

00:14:50.440 Child rapes, not real anymore.

00:14:52.280 Our, our, even our, our outrage isn't real anymore.

00:14:58.780 Because why do we have to have the media, both new and old, keep fueling our outrage?

00:15:09.540 If we didn't have social media, Epstein would be gone.

00:15:13.000 It would be over.

00:15:14.000 Because the, the, the mainstream media would not be covering it.

00:15:17.240 Okay.

00:15:19.500 So what does that say about us?

00:15:24.400 You know, there was a time in Great Britain and in the West, in the entire West.

00:15:31.520 If there was a whiff of corruption at high levels, national reckoning, I mean, Watergate

00:15:37.820 for the love of Pete, when's the last time Clinton, I think changed all of that.

00:15:42.200 I did not have sex with that woman. 1.00

00:15:44.580 Yeah, you did. 0.90

00:15:45.360 You did.

00:15:45.880 Well, it depends on what your definition of sex is.

00:15:48.960 And we just moved on.

00:15:50.840 And I don't think we've ever recovered from that.

00:15:56.100 Now, as long as you just wait it out, it just goes away.

00:16:02.020 But now there's something new.

00:16:04.320 It's not going away.

00:16:05.920 It's becoming worse.

00:16:08.320 It's becoming this, this national poison that is turning into something much bigger than it

00:16:15.380 probably is.

00:16:16.260 It probably is.

00:16:16.880 I'm not saying that it's not big.

00:16:18.300 It's huge.

00:16:20.460 But because nobody's doing anything about it, it's only, I mean, you're going to, I mean,

00:16:26.860 eventually you get to, you know why?

00:16:28.620 Because they're actually lizard people that come from space and they're eating our children 0.99

00:16:35.020 after raping them. 0.95

00:16:36.360 That's what it'll turn into eventually because it just gets worse and worse and worse and 1.00

00:16:41.480 worse.

00:16:41.880 And if nobody addresses it, people just go off the deep end and nothing changes.

00:16:49.640 If powerful people abuse children, aren't we all kind of live in a place where like, yeah,

00:16:55.240 they should face justice.

00:16:56.280 I don't care if it's a Republican.

00:16:57.860 I don't care if it's a Democrat.

00:16:59.200 I don't care if it's an independent.

00:17:00.580 I don't care your title, your party, your passport.

00:17:03.760 I don't care.

00:17:04.840 I don't care. 1.00

00:17:05.700 You're raping kids. 1.00

00:17:06.720 You go to jail. 0.99

00:17:07.480 And part of me kind of hopes that the institution, you know, that you're sitting in, they still

00:17:15.100 hate pedophiles as much as they always did.

00:17:17.880 You know what I'm saying?

00:17:20.800 If any institution covered them, why aren't we exposing that?

00:17:25.120 And not selectively, not strategically, completely.

00:17:28.420 Is there no one that is really fighting for this?

00:17:32.520 Cause I don't see them at least high up.

00:17:40.100 And the other problem is what are you fighting for?

00:17:43.560 Because I, as I've said for two years now, I don't believe any of this stuff actually

00:17:49.740 exists anymore.

00:17:50.980 The Democrats had it.

00:17:52.540 The Republicans had it.

00:17:54.480 The Republicans, uh, the Democrats didn't use anything against Donald Trump when it was

00:17:59.460 in their possession and they'd use anything.

00:18:01.820 They make, they make stuff up about Donald Trump.

00:18:04.380 If they actually had stuff on him with Jeffrey Epstein, you don't think they would have used

00:18:08.680 it.

00:18:09.360 So they don't have it.

00:18:11.220 Now that the Republicans have it, now they can just fuel Trump rumors.

00:18:15.500 You know what?

00:18:16.000 He's in the Epstein files.

00:18:17.520 He, it appears that what's in the Epstein files, it appears as though he was one of the only

00:18:22.520 guys that was standing up against him that were in those circles.

00:18:26.260 So they had it, they didn't use it.

00:18:31.900 Now when they had it, they probably cleaned their own closet out and then the Republicans

00:18:37.400 got it.

00:18:38.000 And there's been enough time for the Republicans to have it that they clean their own closet 0.64

00:18:42.000 out.

00:18:42.360 So I don't know what you're going to get out of this because accountability has to be rooted

00:18:49.300 in evidence, not headlines.

00:18:51.200 But when the public believes that elites operate under different rules, when governments fail

00:18:58.860 to explain themselves clearly, when investigations just disappear into bureaucratic silence, trust

00:19:05.800 implodes.

00:19:07.380 And when trust collapses, societies fracture.

00:19:10.960 You cannot build a free republic on suspicion.

00:19:15.460 You can't.

00:19:16.100 And you can't preserve it if the powerful are shielded from the consequences.

00:19:20.840 The issue is not gossip.

00:19:22.540 It's not tabloid thrills.

00:19:23.920 The issue is this.

00:19:24.860 Do we still believe that justice applies upward or only downward?

00:19:30.460 If children were harmed anywhere, that demands relentless, transparent investigation.

00:19:38.060 It demands consequences.

00:19:39.940 If governments lied, consequences, exposure.

00:19:43.660 If claims are unverified, you have to say that too, because abandoning the truth in pursuit

00:19:49.720 of justice only destroys both of them.

00:19:52.180 And this moment matters because a society that stops demanding accountability decays.

00:19:58.620 A society that stops caring about vulnerable children, whether trafficked abroad or lost in

00:20:03.460 bureaucratic systems at home, it's lost its moral compass.

00:20:07.120 The question is not whether one country is worse than another one party is worse.

00:20:11.220 The question is, do we still have the courage to demand the truth, even when it implicates

00:20:17.120 our side?

00:20:18.460 Justice without favoritism.

00:20:20.320 Truth without hysteria.

00:20:22.040 Protection of children without politics.

00:20:24.400 If we can't manage that, then the scandal is not under one name, Epstein, anymore.

00:20:29.660 The scandal is us.

00:20:32.720 More in a minute.

00:20:34.580 Legend has it, Chuck Norris once fell pain.

00:20:37.980 Yeah.

00:20:38.920 Pain cried uncle.

00:20:39.720 Uh, and that's the way it is.

00:20:41.580 Uh, I can't confirm that story, uh, for sure, but I can confirm that most of us are not

00:20:46.660 Chuck Norris.

00:20:48.320 Most of us shift in our chairs and avoid certain movements.

00:20:51.360 But the truth is you don't have to be a martial arts legend and bonafide TV superstar from

00:20:56.940 the nineties to decide you're tired of living that way.

00:20:59.460 Relief factor was developed by actual doctors to support your body's natural response to

00:21:04.580 inflammation.

00:21:05.060 It's not about, you know, toughing it out or pretending it doesn't hurt.

00:21:09.000 It's about giving your body what it needs so it can move forward comfortably and get

00:21:12.400 back to living your life.

00:21:13.500 Over a million people have tried it.

00:21:15.560 Three quarters of them have gone on to take it every single month, order it time and time

00:21:19.540 again.

00:21:19.840 I'm one of them because I'm not going to have the pain win in my life.

00:21:23.960 If you're waiting and you're dealing with daily pain, stop waiting, launch the three

00:22:01.760 So did you see there's a story in the blaze today?

00:22:07.500 Boy Meets World and Mrs. Doubtfire actor Matthew Lawrence has some knowledge to drop.

00:22:12.880 Hollywood's superficial obsession with inclusion and compassion masks one of the most ruthless

00:22:17.600 businesses in the world, especially if you're a child star.

00:22:23.120 He's saying they'll eat their own.

00:22:27.400 And we all know this.

00:22:28.880 This is another one of these scandals.

00:22:32.240 Why does no one seem to care about what's happening in Hollywood?

00:22:37.800 What's happening to these child stars?

00:22:40.760 How they are. 0.98

00:22:41.600 I mean, everything that you, everything that you hear from child stars is, yeah, I was raped. 0.97

00:22:50.300 I was used. 0.99

00:22:51.760 I was sexually abused. 0.99

00:22:53.600 I was drugged. 0.86

00:22:54.520 I mean, again, why do we care?

00:23:00.580 Why do we not care?

00:23:03.680 Why does it seem that the rules apply to us and not to the elites?

00:23:10.000 That's got to stop.

00:23:12.440 It's got to stop or you will not have a civilization anymore.

00:23:16.840 All right.

00:23:19.360 I want to turn to Congress and the Republicans next.

00:23:24.760 All right.

00:24:54.160 Get in now at glenbeck.com slash torch.

00:24:56.380 I'm just looking at the latest polls here on, uh, voting and it is, it is absolutely insane.

00:25:20.980 It is insane.

00:25:23.220 Um, let's see, nearly six in 10 Americans, but it's not a lot of people.

00:25:26.380 59% disagree with president Trump that Republicans should take over the voting in 15 states in order to nationalize the 2026 midterm elections.

00:25:37.720 19% say they would favor the idea.

00:25:40.300 I'm, I'm with the six in 10.

00:25:42.100 I don't think we should do that.

00:25:43.480 I don't want to nationalize it.

00:25:44.680 That's only going to lead to trouble.

00:25:45.840 And that is not, uh, what the, uh, constitution says.

00:25:50.520 It's got to be run by the state.

00:25:51.820 The federal government needs to oversee it.

00:25:53.660 That's also in the constitution, but I don't like nationalizing elections.

00:25:58.080 Um, asked who is more likely to rig November's midterm elections.

00:26:02.940 How do you think that goes?

00:26:09.420 44% say the Republicans.

00:26:13.380 33% say the Democrats.

00:26:17.040 11 point margin.

00:26:19.120 Wait, it gets worse.

00:26:22.940 Far more Americans disagree.

00:26:24.480 50% than agree.

00:26:26.740 34% with the statement.

00:26:28.400 Democrats bring undocumented immigrants to our country to vote and help them vote illegally. 0.93

00:26:35.600 Republicans agree.

00:26:36.700 73% rather than disagree.

00:26:39.440 11%.

00:26:40.240 Americans are more divided over the question, whether fraudulent voting by undocumented immigrants is rare.

00:26:47.260 And it does not influence the outcome of elections.

00:26:50.340 42% agree.

00:26:56.060 36% say it is common and it does influence the outcome of elections.

00:27:00.100 And then they split right down the middle when asked the same question about fraudulent voting, mail-in voting.

00:27:06.960 Okay.

00:27:07.680 40% to 40%.

00:27:09.480 Far more Americans say they would favor 62% than oppose 23% requiring proof of citizenship.

00:27:16.420 The number is 62 now, usually in the form of a passport or a birth certificate in order to register to vote.

00:27:23.840 Nearly all Republicans, 89% favor the idea.

00:27:27.340 Democrats are divided.

00:27:28.640 39% now in favor.

00:27:30.600 45% opposed.

00:27:32.080 That is completely different than what we have been seeing.

00:27:37.860 Making it harder to vote by mail.

00:27:40.040 46% opposed.

00:27:41.780 38% favor.

00:27:42.960 Making it harder to vote early in person.

00:27:44.880 57% opposed.

00:27:46.300 21% favor.

00:27:47.800 Banning or cutting back on mail-in ballot drop boxes.

00:27:50.800 42% opposed.

00:27:52.320 Shortening the early or absentee voting period.

00:27:55.160 41% opposed.

00:27:56.860 I don't believe this.

00:27:57.920 I just don't believe this.

00:27:59.200 Uh, I, I find this really hard to believe, but if those numbers are true, I mean, you're

00:28:10.540 going to see, you're going to see, this is what they're going to, this is what they're

00:28:17.020 going to go after.

00:28:17.780 If they try to, you know, drag this, you know, uh, vote out, this is what they're going to

00:28:25.460 go after.

00:28:26.460 They're going to go after, you know, the Republicans are rigging it, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:28:30.500 So far that's not working.

00:28:32.360 If this is true, maybe it is working, but I, I don't, this just doesn't feel right to me

00:28:37.940 because it's too much of a swing, but God only knows America changes on a dime.

00:28:44.700 Now, John Cornyn is warning that there is going to be a GOP massacre, John Cornyn of

00:28:54.840 all people, a GOP massacre.

00:28:56.800 If Texas votes for Ken Paxton as the AG, he wins the primary, he says it's going to be

00:29:02.820 a massacre.

00:29:03.700 Okay.

00:29:04.160 I'm not listening to you, John Cornyn.

00:29:06.480 I'm not listening to you. 0.98

00:29:08.400 You, you are the reason the GOP is going to be massacred all over the country.

00:29:15.060 Not Ken Paxton.

00:29:16.520 Now that's a separate issue.

00:29:18.600 Maybe, maybe not, but I'm not listening to John Cornyn.

00:29:22.600 Tell me anything about what the Republicans can do because it's people like John Cornyn

00:29:29.180 that has, that has gotten the Republican party where it is.

00:29:32.960 Remember Donald Trump is not a Republican.

00:29:36.140 He's not a Republican.

00:29:37.440 He's, he is a guy who's turning the tables over.

00:29:41.740 He's not going with Republican policies.

00:29:45.780 He's, he's spent the last 10 years trying to get enough momentum so he can actually change.

00:29:52.500 Republican policies are, let's go to war.

00:29:56.040 Let's spend even more money.

00:29:57.580 I mean, it's all progressive.

00:30:01.000 It's all progressive.

00:30:02.240 And John Cornyn is one of the main leaders of that.

00:30:06.520 So please give it a rest.

00:30:09.060 You know, Republicans this time around, if they don't stand for the things that they've told us

00:30:16.280 they were going to do, and I'm telling you, the SAVE Act is one of them.

00:30:20.360 It's critical.

00:30:21.420 Look at what you've already done.

00:30:23.280 Look at how you've handled the Epstein thing.

00:30:26.480 You think that helped you?

00:30:29.740 You're, you're not only risking the midterms, you're risking the, uh, the party.

00:30:38.220 If you keep pretending that procedure is principle, you're, you're going to help lose the Republic.

00:30:43.760 And this time, if you fail this time, you're not going to be just blamed by the left.

00:30:49.000 You're going to be blamed by your own voters.

00:30:52.580 It's going to happen, John, your own voters.

00:30:55.660 They've had enough.

00:30:57.280 You will be blamed by your own voters and you'll deserve it.

00:31:02.000 Look at, look at the difference between John Cornyn.

00:31:04.300 How long has he been in office and what has he accomplished?

00:31:06.740 Look at the difference.

00:31:07.800 President Trump comes into office.

00:31:09.960 He moved like a man who understood the clock was ticking executive orders.

00:31:16.660 Why?

00:31:16.960 Because he couldn't get Congress to move regulatory rollbacks.

00:31:20.200 He moved faster than any other president in U S history.

00:31:23.940 He has a clear vision.

00:31:25.980 He is literally reshaping the entire world, trying to get rid of the people who are trying

00:31:32.200 to force the U S taxpayer and citizen to live under their unelected officials and rules.

00:31:38.240 He's changing all that.

00:31:41.940 He's done all the heavy lifting.

00:31:43.680 He's taken all of the arrows.

00:31:45.060 He's forced the fight.

00:31:46.380 And what is it, John Cornyn, you and the Republicans have done.

00:31:50.340 You passed one big, beautiful bill that he practically had to jam down your throats.

00:31:57.540 And you want to run on that?

00:31:59.220 That's, that's, that's not leadership.

00:32:02.880 That's hiding behind a man doing your job for you.

00:32:07.780 So let me, let me talk about the excuse of the hour.

00:32:11.240 If I read one more time from a conservative, you can't touch the filibuster.

00:32:16.380 Demanding a talking filibuster is dangerous.

00:32:18.640 You're changing the rules.

00:32:19.800 I'm going to lose my mind.

00:32:21.460 Do you ever read?

00:32:22.880 Do you even know what history is?

00:32:25.300 Enforcing a talking filibuster does not eliminate the filibuster.

00:32:29.360 It actually restores the filibuster.

00:32:32.300 The modern filibuster is the silent one.

00:32:36.640 It's a 20th century convenience.

00:32:39.500 Cloture, a word nobody knows about that was added in 1917.

00:32:44.520 Gee, who was the president in 1917?

00:32:47.240 Cloture gives you the 60 vote threshold and they weaponized it in the late 20th century.

00:32:54.080 What we have now is not tradition.

00:32:56.780 It's drift.

00:32:57.800 And that drift was, that ball was starting to drift.

00:33:01.700 From whom?

00:33:03.100 Woodrow Wilson.

00:33:05.020 From 1806 forward, if you wanted to block a bill, you had to stand up on your feet and

00:33:10.920 you talked, you held the floor, you sweated, you read, you read from cookbooks if you had

00:33:16.800 to, you physically sustained opposition.

00:33:20.220 That's not nuking the filibuster.

00:33:22.340 That's requiring it.

00:33:24.020 That's requiring courage.

00:33:25.620 It's requiring that the Democratic or whoever uses it, the senators who literally can barely

00:33:31.540 stand, have to stand.

00:33:34.720 You can't sit while delivering a filibuster.

00:33:37.360 How many of the 90 year olds can stand that long?

00:33:40.660 Hmm?

00:33:41.360 And here's the real problem with the Republicans.

00:33:43.300 And I'm going to say it.

00:33:44.900 The reason why the Republicans are trying not to do it is because it's going to require

00:33:49.340 them to show up in the middle of the night.

00:33:52.280 It's going to require them to do hard things.

00:33:55.760 And they don't want to do that.

00:33:57.260 They just want to go home.

00:33:58.760 Historically, the talking filibuster was used to delay banking legislation in the 19th century.

00:34:06.620 It was used during World War I.

00:34:10.020 It was infamously used by the Southern Democrats to try to stop civil rights legislation.

00:34:15.560 And they did in the 50s and early 60s.

00:34:18.160 Strom Thurmond had his 24 hour speech against the Civil Rights Act in 1957.

00:34:23.720 Notice something?

00:34:24.840 Notice anything?

00:34:25.960 They're all standing.

00:34:27.880 When somebody believed that something mattered, whether they were right or wrong, they had

00:34:33.080 to stand there and they had to pay the price.

00:34:36.840 Today, a senator just sends a little email to leadership.

00:34:40.720 I object.

00:34:41.560 And then suddenly it's 60 votes to get this thing on the floor to vote.

00:34:45.260 That's not constitutional reverence.

00:34:47.840 That's laziness.

00:34:50.240 The Save America Act has passed the House multiple times.

00:34:54.520 It's overwhelmingly popular with the U.S. population.

00:34:58.740 Voter ID pulls through the roof, including among Democrats.

00:35:02.520 And yet the Senate Republicans whisper, yeah, but we don't have 60.

00:35:06.220 You don't need 60.

00:35:08.160 Make them stand up and talk.

00:35:10.940 Make them hold the floor.

00:35:12.880 Make them defend opposing voter ID in front of the American people for days, weeks, months.

00:35:18.820 I don't care how long it takes.

00:35:20.240 That's not destroying Senate norms.

00:35:23.900 Republicans, conservatives, pundits. 1.00

00:35:27.960 You're not this stupid, are you? 1.00

00:35:30.800 This is not destroying the filibuster. 1.00

00:35:34.940 If they wanted to destroy the filibuster, I'd be with you.

00:35:38.680 But I did my homework because I thought originally, wait a minute, we're changing the filibuster?

00:35:43.060 I don't want to change this filibuster.

00:35:44.800 I want the filibuster to go back the way it was with, you know, Jimmy Stewart.

00:35:49.460 And Mr. Smith goes to wife.

00:35:50.680 That's what this is.

00:35:52.720 That's what this is.

00:35:55.500 And either you don't understand Senate history, which is unacceptable, or you do understand it and you're choosing comfort over confrontation.

00:36:04.540 Both are failures.

00:36:07.900 Meanwhile, what do the voters who want to vote Republicans see?

00:36:12.600 Republicans joining Democrats on bloated appropriations.

00:36:16.100 Millions for gender transition clinics while you're telling us you're against it.

00:36:21.640 Billions for refugee resettlement.

00:36:24.820 A refusal to strip pork.

00:36:27.260 Votes to protect activist judicial judges.

00:36:30.420 Votes to protect agencies that Americans now see as ideological enforcement arms.

00:36:36.340 And then, of course, we get the speeches on fiscal discipline. 1.00

00:36:41.280 You think the voters are stupid. 1.00

00:36:44.180 They're not stupid. 1.00

00:36:45.900 And they're growing pissed. 0.99

00:36:48.860 They see the stall tactics.

00:36:50.720 They know what it is.

00:36:51.640 They see the spending.

00:36:52.800 They know what it is. 1.00

00:36:53.640 They see members who are more afraid of a nasty op-ed in the stupid Washington Post than a primary challenger back at home. 0.99

00:37:01.820 And here's the fatal miscalculation, John Cornyn, and all you like him. 0.99

00:37:08.400 Republican voters are done being managed.

00:37:11.300 They're done being told to wait.

00:37:13.780 They're done being told, well, now is not the time.

00:37:16.260 When is the time?

00:37:18.720 We're done watching the left use power ruthlessly while we don't even want to use anything that's legal.

00:37:27.600 If Republicans lose the majority, you are going to be blamed by the left for extremism.

00:37:36.400 If you lose your base, you're going to be blamed by constitutional conservatives for cowardice. 1.00

00:37:44.460 Go ahead, cowards. 0.99

00:37:47.740 When you're blamed by both the left and the right, history tends to be a little unkind to you. 0.99

00:37:54.580 This is bigger than one bill.

00:37:56.440 This is truly about whether the Republican Party still believes it's an instrument of constitutional government or just a speed bump in front of progressive expansion.

00:38:07.500 Trump has done all of your heavy lifting.

00:38:10.320 He's taken the hits.

00:38:11.520 He's reset the board.

00:38:13.020 Now the question for you is simple.

00:38:14.960 What did you do other than protect procedure, other than protect comfort, other than protect incumbency?

00:38:24.880 It's not too late, but I'm telling you the clock is ticking.

00:38:28.180 There's time before November.

00:38:29.960 Reconciliation exists.

00:38:31.540 Talking filibusters can be enforced. 0.74

00:38:33.800 Spending can still be cut.

00:38:35.560 The SAVE Act can be forced to the floor.

00:38:37.740 And you can win.

00:38:38.980 But that requires energy.

00:38:41.500 Backbone.

00:38:42.480 It requires senators who are willing to sweat on the floor instead of sweat in the green room explaining why nothing can be done. 0.98

00:38:50.120 Because here's the reality.

00:38:51.740 If you as a Republican, if you keep running out the clock, you're not going to just lose the chamber.

00:38:58.220 You're going to lose your primaries.

00:39:00.060 You're going to fracture your party.

00:39:02.280 And in the vacuum created by inaction, something far worse always grows.

00:39:07.040 History teaches us when institutions refuse to act while the public loses faith, republics don't stabilize, they destabilize.

00:39:15.360 And this time, if it collapses, nobody's going to believe it was an accident.

00:39:20.680 They will say to you, you had the House.

00:39:22.660 You had the Senate.

00:39:23.460 You had the presidency.

00:39:24.660 You had the mandate.

00:39:26.340 And you chose alibis over action. 1.00

00:39:29.000 Finish the damn job. 1.00

00:39:31.500 Or I warn you, history will finish it for you. 1.00

00:39:37.260 Done in a minute.

00:39:39.100 All right.

00:39:40.020 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:39:43.600 It's LifeLock.

00:39:44.960 You know, unless you're planning on moving to the moon anytime soon, and even then I'm not sure it would help, but it's a pretty safe bet that cyber criminals are out there.

00:39:53.020 And they have far more access to your data than you'd like to think about.

00:39:56.600 Pieces of your life are floating around in databases that you've never even heard of.

00:40:00.600 And the scary part is a lot of data breaches don't happen because you did something wrong.

00:40:04.980 They happen because some company you once gave your information to got hacked.

00:40:09.960 You can't control every system.

00:40:12.220 You can't monitor every database.

00:40:13.840 But that's where LifeLock comes in.

00:40:15.180 They monitor millions of data points every second for threats to your identity and alerts you to suspicious activity that you might never see on your own until it's too late, like loans taken out in your names or crimes committed by somebody pretending to be you.

00:40:30.860 And if you do become a victim, a U.S.-based restoration specialist will work to fix it.

00:40:36.260 Guaranteed.

00:43:06.820 I have to tell you, this community that we're building at Torch is so helpful to me.

00:43:13.120 I am learning so much.

00:43:14.420 You know, I don't get anything from reading acts or anything else, you know, reading comments, because I don't know who those people are.

00:43:20.540 But being able to read every day and hear the comments during the show helps me so much.

00:43:25.180 We have something I'm going to announce here in about five or six minutes that I've never heard a national radio program or podcast ever do, ever.

00:43:36.140 I think it's never been done before.

00:43:38.320 Insiders, you're going to hear about it here in about six minutes.

00:43:50.240 Join the community.

00:43:51.160 Do it today.

00:43:56.420 Here's something uncomfortable.

00:43:58.380 You don't always realize that you're missing things.

00:44:00.480 You just notice you're working a little harder.

00:44:02.160 You lean in a little bit more during conversations or you ask people, can you say that again?

00:44:07.660 You've then pretend you caught it the second time, even though you didn't.

00:44:11.020 By the end of a long dinner or family gathering, you're worn out, not from talking, but from straining just to keep up.

00:44:17.360 This is what gradual hearing loss feels like for a lot of people.

00:44:20.620 You're still present.

00:44:21.620 You're still engaged.

00:44:22.400 But everything takes more effort than it used to.

00:44:25.480 What holds people back from doing something about it isn't just pride.

00:44:29.080 It is honestly the hassle, the appointments, the tests, the follow-ups, the price tags that make hearing feel like a major medical product.

00:44:36.540 Audion Hearing is trying to make that first step a lot simpler.

00:44:39.900 Their Atom series over-the-counter hearing aids are designed to be approachable, easy to use, without prescriptions, no complications, no fittings.

00:44:47.220 You just get started.

00:44:48.680 You put them in, charge them, and then you're hearing better than you have in a long time and you hear what you've been missing.

00:44:53.740 Don't wait.

00:44:54.100 Go to audionhearing.com.

00:44:59.080 Go to audionhearing.com.

00:45:29.080 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:45:45.460 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:49.360 Glenn Beck is on.

00:45:50.720 So there's been a lot of people who have written books about indoctrination and how it happens.

00:45:58.900 But a guy who really knows where to look and knows the history of the CIA and other countries and their spy operations is Buck Sexton.

00:46:11.580 Buck is a former CIA operative who then strangely wanted to go into banking, and I convinced him,

00:46:21.220 No, no, no, no, no, you should do radio.

00:46:23.180 You should come over to the Blaze, and he did.

00:46:25.540 And now he is on the premier radio network and killing it every day, replacing the Rush Limbaugh program.

00:46:35.260 But no hard feelings there, Buck.

00:46:37.720 No, none at all.

00:46:38.360 Anyway, so he's written a book called Manufacturing Delusion.

00:46:44.420 Manufacturing Delusion is a book that will explain historically how did these dictators do this?

00:46:55.300 And then he's going to tie it together on what did they do that we're now doing in our own classrooms, in media?

00:47:04.760 What's happening, and how do we break it?

00:47:06.880 Buck Sexton joins me in just about 60 seconds.

00:47:09.960 First, Rough Greens.

00:47:10.840 Imagine if you ate one heavily processed meal every single day for 10 years.

00:47:15.940 How do you think you'd feel?

00:47:18.060 I mean, I had a McDonald's hamburger the other day.

00:47:20.420 I'm not even sure that was meat.

00:47:21.800 I'm being serious.

00:47:23.740 I'm not sure anymore.

00:47:26.060 You'd probably feel a little crappy.

00:47:28.420 You'd move slower.

00:47:29.340 Digestion wouldn't probably be great.

00:47:31.140 Your skin wouldn't look the best. 0.99

00:47:32.660 You'd probably notice something wasn't quite right.

00:47:35.360 Now, think about your dog.

00:47:36.960 Your dog will eat the same dry, highly processed kibble day after day, year after year, and it might keep them full,

00:47:42.400 but that doesn't mean it's giving them what their body needs to thrive, and that's where Rough Greens comes in.

00:47:47.740 It's not a new food.

00:47:48.760 It's a daily nutritional supplement that you put right on top of the dog food that you're already feeding your dogs.

00:47:54.360 They love it.

00:47:55.340 Uno used to run to the bowl to eat, and we used to have to hand feed him.

00:47:59.720 It was like feeding a baby.

00:48:01.160 Open up.

00:48:01.840 Here comes the airplane.

00:48:03.160 It was crazy until we started putting Rough Greens on his food, and then he loved it, and he changed.

00:48:08.120 More energy.

00:48:09.080 He felt better.

00:48:09.880 You could just tell.

00:48:25.020 Buck, my man.

00:48:25.920 How are you?

00:48:27.940 Glenn, I'm great.

00:48:28.860 Thank you so much for having me on, and thank you for convincing me 15 years ago not to go to an Ivy League business school

00:48:35.780 and to come work for you instead at your company.

00:48:39.180 It all worked out, Glenn.

00:48:40.420 It all worked out.

00:48:41.600 I mean, imagine how different you would be if you had gone to that Ivy League education.

00:48:48.800 Maybe it would have been different for you because, I mean, you talk about it in Manufacturing Delusion.

00:48:53.540 You know the tricks of indoctrination, so maybe it would have been different from you.

00:48:59.160 Yeah, I would hope that I could have continued to stay sane.

00:49:02.600 I mean, look, the basis of this book, the basic idea, it comes out of the madness of COVID, but it's not a COVID book.

00:49:10.940 It's, okay, everybody, we know we read about these other places.

00:49:14.380 We're familiar with mind control in the Soviet Union, with the culture revolution in Maoist China 0.55

00:49:22.340 and how insane that got, with the reality of North Korea today.

00:49:27.340 We know that that all exists and that all has happened.

00:49:29.680 But how is it that in this country, we basically collectively, not all of us, but as a country, went insane during COVID?

00:49:37.380 And I was like, well, if it's possible on that, you know, it's possible on other things, too.

00:49:41.780 And there's actually smaller bouts of politicized insanity, BLM, climate change, the gender madness.

00:49:50.740 I mean, I have a whole chapter, Glenn, and you would love this, but legitimately, I'm sure people say, Glenn, you will actually love this book.

00:49:57.520 I go back into the writings of a World War II Dutch psychiatrist named Dr. Juist Mirlu, and he coined the term menticide.

00:50:05.300 He wrote a book called Rape of the Mind.

00:50:07.140 He sat down with Nazis, Nazi prisoners of war to say, how did you do this, basically?

00:50:13.440 How did you make a whole country go insane?

00:50:16.980 And he approached this as a psychiatrist, as a practitioner, and came up with this framework.

00:50:21.840 Well, the framework, Glenn, is applicable to some of the brainwashing, some of the things we see going on here in America today.

00:50:28.840 And so that's why the book, it's history, but it's a history that informs what's happening right now.

00:50:33.660 And the gender madness we're seeing is a huge part of chapter two. 0.87

00:50:36.860 So, Buck, I just want you to know, you had me at former German scientist.

00:50:43.980 I just want you to know, you had me there.

00:50:48.320 So, where are we seeing this really?

00:50:53.640 Because I think we're being hit by education.

00:50:57.360 We're being hit by jihadis.

00:50:59.280 We're being hit by Marxists.

00:51:04.420 Are they all using the same tactics?

00:51:09.900 Yes, there is a similarity.

00:51:12.260 Now, the reason I broke it down into the chapters, the chapters are essentially all variations on the theme of what we call brainwashing.

00:51:20.840 That's the most general term.

00:51:22.640 Practitioners, Glenn, psychiatrists, they'll actually call it mind control or coercive mind control.

00:51:27.420 And that will include things like cult indoctrination.

00:51:30.540 In the book, I get into under the identity construction chapter.

00:51:34.060 I'll get into jihadis. 0.90

00:51:36.340 I get into some of the cult stuff.

00:51:37.840 Om Shinrikyo.

00:51:39.180 And that's stuff that people should be very aware of as well because it's effectively a totalitarian state without the state.

00:51:45.840 It's the full control of individuals that is achieved through this mind control process without having a massive secret police.

00:51:55.240 You know, it's one thing for the Soviet Union to do it.

00:51:57.320 It's another thing for Maoist China to do it. 0.98

00:51:59.040 But to operate on an individual or a much smaller basis, that's obviously what you see going on in cults.

00:52:05.720 But I break this down into conditioning, and I start with Pavlov.

00:52:09.600 Fascinating stuff about Ivan Pavlov, Nobel laureate, and really the beginning of our scientific conception of understanding that what your brain is taking in affects your body directly.

00:52:23.860 And you get into sort of the reflex and the conditional reflex, which is initially what it was called.

00:52:29.820 We call it conditioning now.

00:52:31.260 It's a whole series of behavioralism training, but conditional reflex.

00:52:36.080 But here's what Pavlov learned that was really interesting, Glenn.

00:52:38.960 There was a—at the time, it was Leningrad, St. Petersburg.

00:52:42.660 They've changed the name a bunch of times.

00:52:44.240 But there was a flood at his lab, and the dogs in the lab almost drowned.

00:52:48.840 And it was one of these things where the water was rising, the water's rising, these dogs.

00:52:52.480 And I'm a huge dog person, so I get, like, upset just thinking about this.

00:52:55.840 But the dogs were freaking out and freaking out.

00:52:58.560 The lab technician, not Pavlov, got there, freed the dogs last minute.

00:53:03.420 And they had not only a complete erasure of the conditioning that they had had because of this trauma,

00:53:10.780 they also had extreme behavioral changes apart from that, meaning some that were docile became aggressive.

00:53:17.100 Some that were aggressive became docile.

00:53:18.840 So this set this light off.

00:53:20.920 And you know who thought it was really interesting that there was this new series of behavioralism training going on?

00:53:26.360 Stalin. 0.56

00:53:27.240 himself.

00:53:28.060 Lenin.

00:53:28.500 Yeah, Stalin, the Soviets.

00:53:30.680 And they started paying very close attention to this.

00:53:33.640 And they came up with, Glenn, some step-by-step and some here's-how-you-do-it.

00:53:37.740 And that's a lot of the meat of the book is looking into those practices, you know, isolation,

00:53:43.640 keeping people confused, keeping people atomized in society.

00:53:48.000 There's all these different things.

00:53:51.040 You know, I've heard from, because I've changed my approach to the show recently, you know, in the last,

00:53:58.040 it's been happening over the last three, four or five months.

00:54:01.820 And I'm trying just to explain things more than anything else.

00:54:06.540 Just try to help clarify things so people can understand it.

00:54:11.320 Less opinion maybe, and more just, here's what's actually happening and how it works.

00:54:16.400 Um, and, and my gut has told me that is so important because the world doesn't need more opinions and it doesn't need more electric shocks to it.

00:54:30.200 Um, the only way out is through reason.

00:54:33.260 Um, is, am I accurate on that at all?

00:54:37.700 Do you see any evidence?

00:54:38.700 Yes.

00:54:38.960 Well, this is it.

00:54:39.680 I mean, how do you get out of this?

00:54:41.500 This is where I go.

00:54:43.360 This is where the book, uh, sort of finishes in the last chapter.

00:54:46.720 And, and the, the final arguments are people need to understand that the, uh, the city advice, uh, the call to arms, if you will, uh, from souls and needs in the great Soviet dissident of live, not my lies.

00:55:01.840 You have people ask me, how do we avoid this stuff?

00:55:04.100 Cause this lays out the different tactics.

00:55:05.920 It lays out confusion and degradation as the twin pillars of menticide.

00:55:09.860 For example, it lays out, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, just wait, explain each of those as you go through them real quickly.

00:55:16.500 Just explain them.

00:55:17.540 So, so, so in the mental cycle process, in order to unmoor you from your ethics, your sense of self, your sense of reality around you, um, they want to keep you confused.

00:55:28.080 Now they can lock you in a cell, cut you off from all daylight and, you know, blast music in.

00:55:34.640 There's things that they can physically do, but also there are ways that you can just try to keep people confused through propaganda, confused through messaging.

00:55:42.880 So they don't have the basic moral understanding and degradation is really a degradation of your ability to understand the most fundamental truth.

00:55:51.800 And this is why I get into the transgender madness that sees this country because Glenn under a menticidal framework, if you are willing to affirm the most obvious madness, which is that a man can become a woman and that there's no biological advantage, these sorts of things. 0.99

00:56:09.260 You are not just conceding on that issue.

00:56:11.880 You are degrading your own brain's ability to make the most basic distinctions and undermining the confidence that you have in your perception of reality.

00:56:22.100 This is a key step in mere lose menticide.

00:56:26.100 This is a key step in how, and this is why it can be done with extreme force, but it can also be done with extreme messaging all throughout the society around us.

00:56:34.860 And so that's what we get into.

00:56:35.780 It was, I mean, some of, some of that is through extreme force, because if you didn't, if you didn't go along with it, you were ostracized, you were out.

00:56:46.860 Yeah.

00:56:47.600 It's just a difference of what the punishments are.

00:56:50.800 I mean, one of them, there's a whole, uh, there's a whole chapter, Glenn, where I get into, uh, what really happened in China and the incredible amount of the Chinese, the Maoists borrowed from the Stalinists who of course were like, Hey, we have this new Soviet man that we're going to build.

00:57:05.780 This guy Pavlov, you know, Pavlov, by the way, actually hated the Soviets, the whole other thing, but this guy Pavlov, we can build on his scientific knowledge and we can just basically turn people into robots.

00:57:15.440 Not really that easy, right?

00:57:16.840 That's, that's a, one of the good news parts of this is that every human being, you could say, because of our underlying makeup, you could say, because of our soul, you can't just flip a switch and get the same outcome.

00:57:27.240 It's not actually a machine, but there is a process here.

00:57:30.720 And what they would do in Maoist China, and there was a psychologist, Robert Lifton, who traveled there right at the early phase of the Chinese culture revolution.

00:57:39.360 And, and he said, one of the things that they would come up with is people would have to, they would force confessions, Glenn.

00:57:45.260 This also goes to degradation, force confessions.

00:57:48.060 No.

00:57:48.560 And the people would write things that were crazy.

00:57:50.180 And the point was they had them go through it over and over and over again.

00:57:53.960 And they would tell them your confession is not sincere enough.

00:57:58.060 So they would know that they're lying.

00:58:00.140 Everyone knows that they're lying.

00:58:01.360 They're confessing to crazy crimes, you know, treason that they never could have done.

00:58:05.380 It'd be like me sitting here writing that I assassinated Abraham Lincoln.

00:58:08.120 They're like, well, that is not a sincere enough confession.

00:58:10.180 Try again.

00:58:10.860 Try again.

00:58:11.540 This is how they break people down.

00:58:12.900 Glenn, this is to your point.

00:58:15.020 When you don't use the preferred pronouns, maybe you get fired.

00:58:18.820 You say man up.

00:58:19.900 Maybe you get an excuse from the corporate meeting.

00:58:21.920 Like these, these are threads.

00:58:24.740 These are, are trends in mind control that have seized this country.

00:58:28.640 And Pavlovian conditioning, wear a mask, even when everyone knows you're outside.

00:58:32.580 I mean, all these things that we did, these physical manifestations of obedience are meant to train our minds into a way that we can be molded and weaponized for politics.

00:58:42.520 And to what you're saying about all the messages everywhere and why it's so important not to live, to live not by lies now.

00:58:48.220 Now, because of technology and AI, I'm glad I'm sure you come across this too.

00:58:53.220 Sometimes even among my own staff on the show, we'll say, oh, guys, is this, is this AI?

00:58:58.660 Is this real?

00:58:59.420 And we do this for a living, trying to figure out what's real, what's not.

00:59:02.100 I know this is only going to increase.

00:59:04.720 And once you add neural implants, which are just over the horizon into the game, mechanistic mind control.

00:59:10.740 I mean, really controlling the synapses becomes more of a scientific reality.

00:59:14.960 So the ultimate control is control over your mind.

00:59:18.140 And in manufacturing delusion, you will understand how the bad guys do this and how you avoid this.

00:59:24.440 Glenn, it took me 18 months to write.

00:59:26.040 It took the CIA six months to clear.

00:59:28.660 So this is a true labor of love.

00:59:30.700 And I really think that everybody it's meant to be read and it can even be read chapter by chapter.

00:59:35.160 You have to read the whole thing at once, although I think some people get through it quickly.

00:59:37.700 It is readable more than once.

00:59:40.940 It is readable as a reference.

00:59:43.220 And I throw some cool CIA stories in there that I've never told before because the time has elapsed and I can talk about it now.

00:59:48.180 So there you go.

00:59:49.260 Can I hold you over for a break real quick?

00:59:51.080 One minute?

00:59:51.660 Of course.

00:59:52.080 I love it.

00:59:52.560 Absolutely.

00:59:53.280 OK.

00:59:53.500 Yeah.

00:59:53.820 All right.

00:59:54.680 More with Buck Sexton here in the six.

00:59:56.300 I want to get into the solution here.

00:59:58.660 But first, let me tell you about the burner launcher.

01:00:00.280 Let me paint a picture for you.

01:00:01.500 It's Saturday afternoon, youth soccer game.

01:00:03.660 Dozens of parents lined up along the sidelines.

01:00:06.140 You know, they got chairs and coffee cups and, you know, everybody's trying to pretend they're they're not more competitive than their kids.

01:00:13.140 Everything is normal, right?

01:00:14.440 Until two dads, two dads decide, you know, it is, in fact, the World Cup voices rise and shoulders square.

01:00:20.580 And one of them takes a step forward, a little too aggressive.

01:00:23.180 And now you got a crowd.

01:00:24.480 You got kids watching situation escalating faster than it should.

01:00:28.340 Here's the thing.

01:00:29.980 Moments like this can get out of hand and go from that to life and death at a drop of a hat.

01:00:36.140 It starts out sometimes as ego, as heat and somebody who doesn't know how to back down.

01:00:40.940 And that is the situation to where, you know, you do not want to get involved.

01:00:46.200 But if it starts to really get out of hand, you have a burner launcher, chemical irritant projectiles that will stop the threat coming at you and create distance without using any kind of deadly force.

01:00:58.640 It's legal in all 50 states, doesn't require a permit.

01:01:01.600 Right now, Berna is offering 10% off site-wide in honor of President's Day.

01:01:05.680 Just go to Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

01:01:08.420 Learn more about it.

01:01:09.180 Try before you buy it at a sportsman's warehouse located near you.

01:01:12.160 It's Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

01:01:15.480 Ten seconds.

01:01:16.020 Station ID.

01:01:16.460 From the Pilgrims to the Bill of Rights, The American Story, The Beginnings, is an immersive audio series on the founding of America, exclusively for Torch members at GlennBeck.com.

01:01:38.600 So, Buck, I want to first teach you how to sell a book.

01:01:44.280 Whenever you're doing an interview, you should say in, like every other sentence, as I say in Manufacturing Delusion, as I talk about in my book, Manufacturing Delusion, make sure you keep hammering the name of your book.

01:01:56.360 Oh, sure.

01:01:57.360 I will.

01:01:57.880 But here is the, here's, you were just talking about with AI.

01:02:05.640 You know, I've been thinking about this.

01:02:06.560 Because Gutenberg, he, when the press was done, he made, he gave ownership to the truth.

01:02:14.420 People could own the truth because really only the very, very few had the truth because it was written down.

01:02:21.420 But then this started to spread the ownership of the truth.

01:02:24.540 And then radio comes in and we start to hear the truth and we relate to it differently because we've heard it firsthand.

01:02:31.900 Then television, and now we see and hear it.

01:02:34.940 So we relate to it again differently.

01:02:36.560 The internet comes in and it starts to destroy credibility.

01:02:42.840 Now AI.

01:02:43.860 AI, I believe, is going to make the truth irrelevant if we're not careful.

01:02:49.080 Because why tell one big lie when instead you can tell a hundred million little lies, each one built for that individual that will take them way off track.

01:03:01.960 I mean, truth is something that is becoming very slippery, very slippery.

01:03:08.240 Well, it's absolutely the case that we're entering a realm now where, first of all, you have people that are claiming to have an absolute control over the truth as part of living in a free society, which is, of course, contradictory.

01:03:26.160 But we just went through this with the disinformation czar.

01:03:29.420 I was calling her Marxist Mary Poppins.

01:03:33.140 Remember her under the Biden administration?

01:03:35.340 This notion that we are going to be able to have government bodies and bureaus that are the gatekeepers of conversation and what is allowed to be said and what's going on.

01:03:48.000 That we're already there.

01:03:50.000 And you see this in other places.

01:03:51.280 And one of the reasons I talk about North Korea a bit in the book is just so people understand.

01:03:55.220 In what book was that?

01:03:56.100 In another one.

01:03:56.900 What book was that?

01:03:58.200 What book is that?

01:03:59.340 I'm sorry.

01:04:00.980 Thank you, Glenn.

01:04:01.960 Manufacturing Delusion, which is a fantastic book, which you should all get right now.

01:04:07.240 I am behind on the list right now, Glenn.

01:04:12.660 As I say in my book, as I wrote in my book, Manufacturing Delusion.

01:04:17.280 That's all you have to add.

01:04:18.440 Anyway, so go ahead.

01:04:20.340 As you write in your book, Manufacturing Delusion, what?

01:04:22.540 I need the massive audience of Glenn Beck to help me because I'm stuck behind a woman named Bunny XO on the list right now. 1.00

01:04:30.560 I'm sure she's lovely, but I want to get ahead of Bunny XO, who I think is Jelly Roll's wife. 0.98

01:04:36.460 So her memoir is rocketing up the charts.

01:04:39.480 Anyway, I was like, Bunny XO, wow.

01:04:41.580 Point being, look, the reality here of the technology that we're facing and what this is going to do to people's perception.

01:04:50.460 We are running an experiment right now that has never been run before with humanity where we are subject to, and that's why it's brainwashing, indoctrination, and propaganda.

01:05:00.380 Propaganda is the stuff that's just, it's everywhere, it's anywhere, it's anytime, all the time.

01:05:06.900 And we carry around, you know, you're obviously, Glenn, a radio guy for decades now.

01:05:13.900 We carry around these multimedia propaganda devices with us 24-7 and are subjecting ourselves.

01:05:21.880 So in Manufacturing Delusion, I get to how you need to view, first of all, propaganda didn't even start out as a bad thing per se.

01:05:30.320 It actually comes from the Catholic Church, which I think is particularly interesting.

01:05:33.100 It was for the propagation of the faith.

01:05:36.600 There was a Latin term, and that's where we got propaganda from.

01:05:40.120 It was the true faith was being spread by the Catholic Church.

01:05:43.300 That was the origins of the term.

01:05:45.640 And then in the 20th century with the rise of mass media, most notably radio, but also, I mean, in Stalinist Russia, the Soviet Union,

01:05:54.000 there was a massive effort of using posters and cartoons and things like that.

01:05:57.660 Now we're at a place where they can make a video of some figure that you think is on your side who's saying something you hate.

01:06:05.460 We have to be more attuned to the truth.

01:06:07.800 And in Manufacturing Delusion, Glenn, that is the mission, and that's why I need everybody to go get the book.

01:06:14.300 All right.

01:06:15.180 Thank you so much.

01:06:16.200 See, you know, he's been teaching me for 15 years.

01:06:18.120 You know, it's good.

01:06:18.940 It's good.

01:06:19.860 Buck Sexton, get the book, Manufacturing Delusion.

01:06:23.680 I will be ordering it when we go into the break.

01:06:26.320 Manufacturing Delusion.

01:06:27.240 Get it now.

01:06:28.480 Buck, always great to have you.

01:06:30.000 Thank you.

01:06:31.800 All right.

01:06:32.360 Let me tell you about pre-born.

01:06:33.340 Pre-born helps save 80,000 lives last year alone.

01:06:37.760 80,000.

01:06:39.620 That's not a talking point.

01:06:41.200 That's not a theory.

01:06:42.500 80,000 babies who are alive today because a mom, in a moment of fear and uncertainty, was given a chance to see and hear the life she was carrying.

01:06:50.500 I like to double that number because I think it saved not only the life of the baby, 80,000, but also 80,000 moms who are not walking around with that kind of weight on them.

01:07:03.760 And that kind of regret, you know.

01:07:06.620 Now, pre-born is not trying to make a statement here other than it's a baby.

01:07:12.400 It's a baby.

01:07:13.040 And when moms see that baby and they see that ultrasound and they hear that heartbeat, it changes the conversation, changes the atmosphere, and it turns the abstract decision into a human reality.

01:07:24.140 Pre-born connects women with local clinics that provide free ultrasounds and compassionate care so they can slow down, breathe, and make an informed choice.

01:07:32.600 80,000 children in one year.

01:07:34.680 That's what happens if you get involved.

01:07:37.080 Please give.

01:07:38.040 Dial pound 250.

01:07:39.000 Say the keyword baby.

01:07:40.320 Keyword baby.

01:07:41.360 Pound 250.

01:07:42.480 Or go to preborn.com slash Beck.

01:07:45.580 One week left to join the Torch Insider community for our special Inflation Proof Membership for Life.

01:07:52.080 Join today at glennbeck.com slash Torch.

01:07:54.980 Don't wait.

01:08:10.540 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:08:12.500 Thank you so much for listening.

01:08:14.620 Let me go to Tracy.

01:08:16.400 Hello, Tracy.

01:08:17.180 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:08:18.200 Hello, Glenn, Jason, and fellow insiders.

01:08:24.420 How are you, buddy?

01:08:26.980 I'm good.

01:08:28.420 I just, I had a question or get your opinion on something.

01:08:33.940 Republicans sit on all these committees that are led by Democrats.

01:08:38.580 I guess that's how it works.

01:08:39.640 Um, do they fear retaliation and losing certain perks if they've voiced their opinions?

01:08:47.240 Yes.

01:08:47.920 And is that why they stay quiet?

01:08:50.380 Yes.

01:08:51.520 Yes.

01:08:52.720 Um, they, they, you know, you always, uh, you will always sell your soul.

01:08:57.640 You'll know when you're talking to somebody, uh, who has sold their soul and they've done it.

01:09:03.480 Honestly, they think they're doing the right thing, but they've ended up selling their soul.

01:09:07.540 They will say, I had to make this compromise because I wanted to get onto this committee because it's so important that I'm on this committee.

01:09:14.580 When you hear that, they'll mean it honestly, but you can look them in the eye and say, dude, you sold your soul.

01:09:21.300 Um, once you take that first step and compromise like that, it's just, now it's just, now it's just going to keep going downhill because now what will you do to stay on that committee?

01:09:31.840 Um, and you know, the other, the other big thing you'll hear from, uh, representatives and senators is I got to stay here because if I'm gone, who's going to wait a minute, you, I mean, you're the, you're the one.

01:09:44.840 I can't tell you how many times Mike Lee has called me and went, oh, glad I'm leaving.

01:09:48.900 I can't do it anymore.

01:09:50.100 And I'm like, Mike, you got to stay.

01:09:51.460 You got to stay.

01:09:52.540 I mean, there are, there are those, those senators and congressmen that I do know that just do not want to be there.

01:09:59.840 Um, because they at times feel like it's a huge waste of time and they're the ones usually that will stand up against all odds, all odds.

01:10:10.000 Thank you for being a torch insider, by the way, Tracy.

01:10:12.340 Uh, let me go to Scotty, uh, in Kansas, who I think also is a torch insider.

01:10:16.860 Hello, Scotty.

01:10:18.900 Hi, uh, I am Colin.

01:10:22.180 I just wanted to give a big thank you, um, to you, Glenn, and all of our, our torch family.

01:10:28.920 Um, it's been a rollercoaster, um, recently, and I have found so much strength, um, from you.

01:10:37.220 My wife and I are about to celebrate our 10 year anniversary.

01:10:39.880 Um, and we now have three children.

01:10:45.560 Our twins were, were born, uh, just back in November.

01:10:49.020 Um, and has been so great to hear from you and to, uh, just be uplifted every day, to feel empowered, to know what might be coming down the line and to be able to prepare.

01:11:00.620 Um, but I, I just wanted to share some, some good news.

01:11:05.540 You know, families are being built.

01:11:07.040 Uh, my wife and I just bought, um, our first house back in September.

01:11:11.240 And, um, it's a lot of hard work, but it's worth it.

01:11:15.040 And I'm just so grateful for everything that you do.

01:11:19.400 Thank you, Scotty.

01:11:20.240 I appreciate it.

01:11:20.920 Happy anniversary.

01:11:21.780 What's your wife's name? 0.99

01:11:23.600 Uh, my wife's name is Jenny.

01:11:26.180 Jenny.

01:11:26.840 Well, Scotty and Jenny, happy anniversary.

01:11:28.720 Thank you so much.

01:11:30.200 Um, I want to talk to you about, it is so easy to get lost.

01:11:34.380 It is so easy to be down and Scotty is right.

01:11:37.340 I'm going to talk to a guy, uh, here about 20 minutes.

01:11:40.400 He's talking about the population, uh, collapse that is coming our way because nobody's having

01:11:46.040 children for a myriad of reasons.

01:11:47.720 And we don't even understand all of the reasons.

01:11:50.360 Um, but it's easy to get down.

01:11:53.400 You just have to focus and do the next right thing.

01:11:56.560 Live your life, raise children, get married, love your wife, love your husband, make God

01:12:02.260 the center of your universe.

01:12:03.780 And it's, everything is going to work out the way it's supposed to work out.

01:12:07.400 It may not be easy, but it will work out exactly the way it's supposed to work out.

01:12:12.160 Um, let me, let me, I want to take you to New York.

01:12:15.160 Now they're giving you a little positive.

01:12:16.260 Let me take you to New York and mom, Donnie.

01:12:18.360 This is insane.

01:12:20.480 So, um, mom, Donnie has just released his budget.

01:12:25.900 His new budget is $127 billion for New York city.

01:12:30.900 So, you know, that is $10 billion higher than the entire budget of Florida.

01:12:39.420 Okay.

01:12:41.700 That's Florida is three times the population.

01:12:46.160 New York city has 8.5 million.

01:12:48.800 Florida has 23 million people.

01:12:51.460 And there's somehow or another getting, getting by with $10 billion less.

01:12:57.020 How's that possible?

01:12:58.280 New York city, um, is so small.

01:13:03.000 You can fit 178 New York cities into Florida and somehow or another, Florida is able just

01:13:12.040 to get by now.

01:13:14.020 He's, he knows, even though his budget is going to be $127 billion, he knows he now has

01:13:20.440 to raise taxes.

01:13:21.660 What a surprise, but he also has to cut the budget.

01:13:25.060 Here's his latest proposal on cutting the budget.

01:13:28.300 By the way, I wish I would have bought more property in Florida.

01:13:32.340 Cause I mean, if you have the money by laws, all kinds of Florida property, cause you're

01:13:36.480 going to become very, very wealthy because Florida and Texas land is going to go through

01:13:41.100 the roof.

01:13:44.040 Here's what he's doing to New York city to cut the budget.

01:13:46.340 He is, uh, he is going to cancel the hiring of 5,000 policemen.

01:13:58.660 New York city was putting an extra 5,000 police officers onto the streets, hired him.

01:14:05.980 He's now canceling all of that.

01:14:08.660 And he's proposing cuts to the police, not, not just in personnel, but to the police department.

01:14:17.320 He's going to propose cuts.

01:14:19.020 That's where he's going to save money.

01:14:20.980 Get the hell out of there, get out of there, get out of Washington state.

01:14:26.120 I think get out of California.

01:14:27.700 They are going to trap you and your money there.

01:14:30.740 They are, they are, it's just, it's a matter of time.

01:14:34.380 Look at what else he has done.

01:14:36.360 Mom, Donnie has hired another three founders of the Muslim group that blamed October 7th 1.00

01:14:43.180 on Israel on October 7th.

01:14:47.360 Not like months later, they were saying this day one, you, he has just appointed three officials.

01:14:55.600 Um, uh, let's see.

01:14:57.540 They said all kinds of crazy things.

01:14:59.700 Um, I don't need to go through that.

01:15:02.000 One of them is, uh, Aaliyah Latif.

01:15:07.480 She is good friends with Linda Sarsour, notorious anti-Semite.

01:15:13.140 She became the executive director of the mayor's office of faith-based partnerships.

01:15:17.980 Okay.

01:15:18.640 That's good.

01:15:19.160 It's going to go over really well.

01:15:20.740 Um, her, the mayor announced it at an interfaith breakfast at which she urged city clergy clergy

01:15:26.540 to resist immigration enforcement.

01:15:30.280 Um, she also has just reposted accusations that Israel is committing genocide.

01:15:36.240 Um, she also was reposting support for, uh, Marcellus Williams.

01:15:42.120 He is a Muslim convicted, uh, of murder who was executed in September of 2024. 0.98

01:15:48.940 He was found guilty of stabbing a reporter with the St. 0.98

01:15:52.420 Louis post dispatch, but it happens to everybody, especially when you stab them 43 times.

01:15:57.620 Um, she was standing with that guy.

01:16:00.320 Um, you also have Alvarez, um, Alvaro Lopez.

01:16:05.260 He's a former official with a democratic socialist of America.

01:16:09.240 Lopez called people who ripped down flyers of Israeli hostages heroes.

01:16:13.860 He wrote a socialist strategy for Palestinian solidarity in 2024 that included convincing voters that USAID to Israel causes declining living, living standards.

01:16:26.620 Momdani also hired, uh, Drashti Bombat, who led a campus movement calling on Brown university to divest from companies that do business with the Jewish state, uh, as a college student.

01:16:39.220 And, uh, uh, he was an advisor on the 100 day planning and implementation of that.

01:16:44.900 Also, he replaced the executive director of the mayor's office to combat antisemitism with a left-wing activist who has openly bashed Israel.

01:16:55.780 So you're there in charge of antisemitism, stopping antisemitism.

01:17:00.160 Huh?

01:17:00.460 That's really interesting.

01:17:01.940 Another co-founder of the Muslim democratic, uh, committee in New York, uh, Fiza.

01:17:09.220 Ali became commissioner of the mayor's office of immigrant affairs on Tuesday between 2007 and 11.

01:17:17.200 Ali worked for the New York branch of the council of American Islamic relations, otherwise known as care.

01:17:24.200 This is the same care that was happy to see on October 7th, happy to see the attack on Israel. 0.97

01:17:32.100 Um, during Ali's time with care, she was a, uh, vocal supporter of the proposed ground zero mosque.

01:17:39.520 Do you remember that?

01:17:41.100 She dismissed anybody who was against the building of that mosque near ground zero, uh, as an anti, uh, Muslim, uh, hater.

01:17:50.800 Uh, uh, she also represented care at a 2010 press conference.

01:17:56.020 She was one promoting that project.

01:17:58.420 Um, Ali also defended Zara Bilou, the leader of San Francisco Bay area care chapter who refused to denounce jihad or Sharia.

01:18:07.580 Does any of this sound like maybe the Islamatization of New York? 0.80

01:18:17.380 I told you this before he was elected, what this really has to do.

01:18:22.540 In fact, I'm going to give you what Linda Sarsour said.

01:18:24.600 Linda Sarsour, uh, she is, she is a raging anti-Semite and, you know, Muslim brotherhood style, uh, Muslim Islamist. 1.00

01:18:37.540 I put her into the Islamist category. 0.99

01:18:39.760 Um, she said right before the election, the story is not that it's random.

01:18:46.160 It's not a random story that Zoran ascended to the mayoral, uh, race.

01:18:52.800 It's Muslim money. 1.00

01:18:55.180 I'm quoting.

01:18:56.460 And she said, um, uh, if the anti-Israel extremism actually sends you to city hall, I will hold mom, Donnie accountable.

01:19:08.520 He will not do whatever the hell he wants when he gets to city hall.

01:19:13.140 So we now know, I mean, I don't think he's going to have to be held very tightly to the Islamists, uh, you know, dealings.

01:19:22.800 And everything that they want mom, Donnie to do as well as the socialists.

01:19:26.800 Cause I think that's who he is, but this is the Islamization of, uh, of, uh, the West and of New York city. 1.00

01:19:34.340 And that is going to happen in city after city.

01:19:36.640 You've already seen it.

01:19:37.620 It's, it's happening in Dearborn.

01:19:39.460 It's happening in Minnesota.

01:19:40.740 It's happening all over and it's, it's well planned.

01:19:44.920 It's out in the open.

01:19:46.940 You know what?

01:19:47.580 I was with Peter Swiser last night.

01:19:49.820 He was giving a talk, uh, in, um, in West Palm.

01:19:54.720 And, uh, he was talking about his book, the invisible coup.

01:19:58.460 If you're buying Buck Sexton's book, you should also buy this one as well.

01:20:03.600 The invisible coup.

01:20:04.660 I think this is one of the most important books to understand what is actually happening with our border.

01:20:11.220 What, why they are protesting so hard, um, to make sure that we don't pick any of these people up off the street, that this is not ended and exposed.

01:20:21.920 This is the book, you know, I saw that, uh, the FBI and, and, uh, Trump now is reaching out to the Mexican government because they think that Nancy Guthrie, um, Savannah Guthrie's mom is actually maybe over the border in Mexico and they're looking for help.

01:20:38.480 The Mexicans aren't, they're a hostile nation. 1.00

01:20:42.020 And I know that sounds crazy because I've never considered them a hostile nation until you read this book and you see the, the facts that Peter has laid out the, the president of Mexico and, and, and so many others in their Senate are saying, this is a hostile takeover of the United States.

01:21:03.260 We are going to take our territory from the Mexican line, all the way to Montana. 0.95

01:21:10.620 We're taking that territory back and they're openly talking about it, but we're not talking about it here.

01:21:17.740 Nobody's talking about it here.

01:21:20.640 You need to know these things because we are, we have hostiles in our own country.

01:21:26.900 And until we can name the problem, we're never going to solve it.

01:21:31.100 All right, more in just a minute.

01:21:32.360 Let me talk to you about Patriot mobile.

01:21:34.860 Let me ask you something strange.

01:21:36.180 If you found out your grocery store was donating a portion of every purchase you, you, uh, um, everything that you buy there and they were donating it to something you completely disagreed with.

01:21:47.600 Would you keep shopping there just because it was right around the corner or would you go find one that was maybe a few blocks down?

01:21:53.700 I mean, I, that's what I would do.

01:21:56.300 I'll take my business elsewhere.

01:21:57.860 Yet every single month, most of us pay a cell phone bill without ever thinking about what the company is funding, who they support, or what ideas they're actively promoting.

01:22:07.220 Patriot mobile exists for people who don't want their money drifting into places.

01:22:10.940 They'll never personally walk into.

01:22:12.800 They would never support it.

01:22:14.660 This is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

01:22:17.780 And they are very intentional about, about supporting the first amendment, second amendment sanctity of life.

01:22:23.820 The men and women who are serving this country, you know, they're, they're, uh, probably not with mom, Donnie on the cop thing.

01:22:31.360 You know what I'm saying?

01:22:32.980 You're not sacrificing service.

01:22:34.820 You don't have to go a couple of blocks away.

01:22:36.860 All you have to do is pick up the phone.

01:22:38.220 They'll make it really, really easy.

01:22:40.520 It's not a protest.

01:22:41.620 It's just consistency.

01:23:29.820 You know, the conservatives, we're not used to using every tool in the toolbox.

01:23:36.500 You know, that's the big problem with the standing, what do you call it, the standing filibuster.

01:23:46.380 We're not used to it.

01:23:48.220 That's the way the filibuster is meant to be used, but nobody wants to use it because they think it's going to be changing things.

01:23:54.660 It's not changing things.

01:23:55.600 It's actually using it the way it is supposed to be used.

01:23:59.060 Woodrow Wilson changed it.

01:24:00.420 It still stands that if you have the backbone and spine and the will to say, okay, well, Senator, you can filibuster all you want, but we're not going to have 60 votes.

01:24:11.440 We're not going to vote on cloture.

01:24:12.680 You can filibuster as long as you want, and then we'll go back to 50 votes, and we'll vote on this after you're done filibustering.

01:24:19.620 That's the way it works.

01:24:20.900 Think of Mr. Smith goes to Washington.

01:24:23.940 But they're trying, Republicans are trying to make you feel like this is changing it.

01:24:28.260 It's not.

01:24:28.920 It's just requiring to do some work.

01:24:31.960 The same thing is happening, I think, with the FCC.

01:24:37.060 He is enforcing, Brandon Carr is enforcing some laws that are on the books that we haven't done before.

01:24:44.840 Now, I like fewer laws on the books, but Brandon Carr is going to be with us.

01:24:50.280 He's the chairman of the FCC to talk about what's happening with The View and Stephen Colbert,

01:24:55.900 and I want you to hear him, and then you decide, where should we fall on this?

01:25:01.680 That's coming up next hour.

01:26:15.760 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:26:19.240 Glenn Beck is on.

01:26:21.060 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:26:27.480 There is a...

01:26:29.820 There's something going on with humans all over the world, and we don't understand it.

01:26:38.220 There's lots of supposed reasons for it, but let's...

01:26:42.060 Before we even get to the reasons, let's understand what this is, this population implosion.

01:26:52.400 We are not having children.

01:26:55.180 There is declining birth rates everywhere in the world.

01:26:58.720 And a guy who is a data scientist, Stephen Shaw, who has been studying this, and probably the leading expert on it, is going to be joining us here in just a second.

01:27:08.560 What is actually happening?

01:27:10.860 Why does he think it's happening?

01:27:12.680 And what does it mean to us in our everyday life and for our children?

01:27:17.960 We'll get to that in 60 seconds.

01:27:19.280 First, let me tell you about Real Estate Agents I Trust.

01:27:21.860 This is one of my companies, and it is something that was born out of frustration.

01:27:27.000 My brother and I were both trying to sell our house at the same time, and neither of us knew how to interview an agent and know that we had the right person.

01:27:35.100 And we were both having problems selling the house.

01:27:37.480 So we started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country.

01:27:43.120 That's according to the Wall Street Journal, and we learned from them.

01:27:45.660 I remember asking them over and over again, so what makes you different?

01:27:49.280 Why are you so successful?

01:27:51.920 What do you do that others don't?

01:27:54.760 And I learned so much, and my brother and I started talking, why don't we do a referral service, and we'll go and seek these people out beyond the 500 best.

01:28:05.140 Just let's use their own set of what made them great and look for those qualities in other real estate agents, and that way we can recommend them to people.

01:28:15.580 It's a free service to you.

01:28:17.120 I don't charge you anything.

01:28:18.120 Just go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:28:20.620 We'll show you the best real estate agent in your area, at least according to our standards and what we look for.

01:28:26.980 They're all pretty much fans of the show as well, and there's only, I think, maybe 3,000 of them, 4,000 of them around the country.

01:28:34.980 We have a waiting list over 10,000.

01:28:37.600 We just can't monitor that many people because we want to make sure that they do what we're telling you they're going to do, treat you right and sell your house and buy your next house with the best experience you can have and save the most amount of money.

01:28:50.940 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:28:54.200 realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:28:58.440 Steven, welcome to the program.

01:29:01.080 I don't even know where to begin with you.

01:29:02.540 Well, I like your introduction because this is a crisis unlike any other crisis that we're facing.

01:29:10.260 We're facing a lot of crises, Glenn, and this one, I think, should be at the top of the agenda simply because we don't know what the solution is.

01:29:17.660 I think every other crisis, we could kind of come up with ideas of solutions, nuclear proliferation.

01:29:23.680 If you want to go down other avenues in the environment, you can at least have a conversation.

01:29:27.120 But this one, really, there's no example of a nation that's ever recovered from this.

01:29:33.580 I'm going to get into the stats here in a second with you.

01:29:36.100 I want you to explain how bad the problem is.

01:29:39.180 But do we even know what's causing the problem?

01:29:44.520 Well, we have a pretty good idea of what it's not.

01:29:48.720 Okay.

01:29:48.900 So that's a good starting point.

01:29:50.900 All right.

01:29:51.100 So let's get into that.

01:29:52.040 Let's get into that here in a second.

01:29:53.680 Tell me what is the problem?

01:29:56.340 What are the numbers showing?

01:29:58.220 The numbers are showing two things that, to me, really take us down to a much deeper understanding than saying that we've got a birth rate problem.

01:30:09.620 That's much too generalized.

01:30:11.620 What are those two things?

01:30:12.900 Mothers have been remarkable.

01:30:15.080 I guess fathers too, but we got so much data on mothers.

01:30:18.780 That's what we talk about.

01:30:20.260 Do you know that mothers in the U.S. are having more children now than they were in the 80s?

01:30:24.740 Because even mothers in Japan are having the same number of children as 1970, same across much of Europe.

01:30:32.620 So once you have your first child, you're actually going on to have two, maybe three children, just as much as your mother's generation and even in some cases grandmother.

01:30:43.060 So it's not about mothers.

01:30:44.500 Yeah, I mean, this is through incredible shifts in education opportunities for women, political shifts, cultural shifts, and many parts of the world.

01:30:55.460 Mothers are, to me, incredibly resilient and by inference, fathers too.

01:31:00.380 No, this is about childlessness.

01:31:02.000 It's about those people.

01:31:04.040 And I believe the majority of them did plan to become parents.

01:31:08.200 In fact, I'm quite certain of that.

01:31:09.800 This is about the people who probably would have wanted to become a parent, but things didn't work out.

01:31:18.780 And that really takes us down to a much deeper understanding of why is it that many people who plan to become a parent, and I know this will resonate with many of your listeners.

01:31:30.520 And to be honest with you, the people I have met who have been in this category, they often talk of grief.

01:31:37.820 So my heart goes out to any of your listeners who dreamed of a family, and for whatever reason, not meeting the right partner, things not lining up, divorce, breakup.

01:31:48.600 And if you look at the data from Japan to Europe, U.S., even now Southern India is saying the same thing.

01:31:55.820 You're finding the number of people with no children who dreamed of it is the real heart of this issue.

01:32:02.000 Okay, so is that possibly linked at all with the way our society now is saying, don't get married early, do your career.

01:32:12.660 And so you're in your 30s sometimes before you get married, and then you just wait a couple more years, and all of a sudden you've just timed out.

01:32:22.040 Does that have anything to do with it?

01:32:24.600 I mean, you're exactly on the money.

01:32:27.720 It's not only linked to it, from data.

01:32:32.620 We can take data now from about 40 different nations where we've got good data.

01:32:38.340 And all we need to know is what's the average age that a woman is having her first child.

01:32:45.480 And a little bit about how early are people starting family, how late.

01:32:49.180 But it's really that middle age.

01:32:51.560 And for the U.S. right now, that's 28 years old.

01:32:54.540 For many countries, that's 30 or older for first child.

01:32:58.180 That alone predicts about 80% to 90% of birth rates.

01:33:03.540 So it's all linked to age.

01:33:06.160 And again, to me, what's quite remarkable, we're very good.

01:33:09.900 Every nation talks about its own issues.

01:33:12.600 It's the price of real estate.

01:33:14.780 It's work-life balance.

01:33:16.680 It's, you know, Southern Europe.

01:33:17.960 It's youth unemployment.

01:33:18.800 It's gender issues in Korea.

01:33:21.920 But no, you look at the data and it cuts through all of this.

01:33:25.880 The reality is, without exception, every nation has a straight line in terms of the age of motherhood.

01:33:33.700 It goes up every year, up and up and up.

01:33:37.060 And with it, birth rates come down.

01:33:39.880 And we're noticing this right now, Glenn.

01:33:43.820 You know, it's in the news almost daily in some cases.

01:33:46.460 The reality is, this started in the 70s.

01:33:50.080 But we didn't really know this because people who delayed parenthood in the early 70s mostly had a chance to catch up and have a child mid-20s, late-20s.

01:34:00.420 We're now at a point where people are starting so late.

01:34:03.980 It gets more and more challenging for different reasons to really have your first child, you know, 33, 35, 37.

01:34:10.640 Of course it can happen.

01:34:12.420 But for more and more people, it simply doesn't.

01:34:16.780 So where is it the worst?

01:34:20.660 And why?

01:34:23.460 South Korea.

01:34:25.700 South Korea.

01:34:26.380 South Korea.

01:34:26.980 South Korea have, yes.

01:34:28.960 So the average woman in South Korea is having 0.7 children. 0.91

01:34:37.260 Oh my gosh.

01:34:39.500 The U.S. is 1.6.

01:34:40.880 That's not good because we need around 2, 2.1 children per family. 0.99

01:34:45.480 Right.

01:34:45.720 Basically everyone having two kids on average for a population to remain stable.

01:34:51.780 South Korea is at one-third of that level.

01:34:53.920 So why, why, why is South Korea so bad?

01:34:58.480 Well, they've got the double, triple whammy going on.

01:35:02.500 What has happened is not only has the age of motherhood now reached nearly 33 years old.

01:35:08.840 That's for first child.

01:35:10.580 It's reached so late that the likelihood of a woman ever becoming a mother in South Korea is now less than 50%.

01:35:19.420 Only 45% of women there ever become mothers. 0.87

01:35:23.920 And the extra challenge they now have, because it's happening so late, 40% of women there only have one child. 0.98

01:35:33.740 Usually it's around 20% of most nations.

01:35:36.600 Even neighboring Japan, it's around 20%.

01:35:39.320 So not only is it incredibly unlikely now for a woman to have a child in South Korea, it's more and more likely that she'll only have one.

01:35:47.880 So is this at all caused by Western civilization?

01:35:55.840 I mean, the way we have, the way we've prioritized our lives now, and in many cases away from creationism, away from the family is sacred, that humans are supposed to multiply and be fruitful.

01:36:15.480 Instead, you know, put yourself first, put the, you know, your, your, your, um, your business first or whatever, because is this happening across all cultures or is it just the Western culture?

01:36:30.260 Glenn, this is every culture you research and even Southern India now has birth rates as low as 1.6, the same as the U S and has been at that level. 0.93

01:36:40.480 So, uh, in some cases, it's not, it's not, it's not Islam, is it?

01:36:45.900 No.

01:36:46.420 Uh, well, do you know, I, I get to, you know, I'm lucky I get to speak in places around the world.

01:36:51.680 I get to meet governments around the world.

01:36:53.860 And I've been to the Middle East three times in the past year with governments deeply worried about the rapid falling birth rates in the Middle East.

01:37:02.920 So what's the common link?

01:37:04.760 Because you're not too far from, well, to be honest with you, you were, you were, you were really right.

01:37:08.240 We've lost something in all communities.

01:37:11.740 And what is it driven by perhaps innocently, perhaps otherwise, we have turned our twenties into a decade of education, education, education, without thinking about family, future family, and then career development, career development, career development.

01:37:29.300 And when you, when I get to talk to young people that in the U S today, a woman turning 30 without a child has at most a 50% chance of ever becoming a mother age 30.

01:37:44.760 If you haven't already had your first child, and that's the same in all of these countries.

01:37:48.580 In fact, in Japan, it's even younger, it's only 26.

01:37:52.060 So we have put so much focus on other things other than family.

01:37:58.980 And frankly, haven't been honest to ourselves, partly because few people have known the data.

01:38:04.820 I hope that changes that unless the societies, yeah, I get the reality.

01:38:10.280 CDC data will tell you that around 90% of women either have or want kids.

01:38:15.440 And that really hasn't changed very much.

01:38:18.420 It's come down a little bit, but not what you might hear in the press.

01:38:22.960 Nobody wants kids.

01:38:24.000 Really.

01:38:24.400 That's twisting certain facts.

01:38:26.500 I see all the time.

01:38:28.120 90% or more of women do want children one day.

01:38:31.880 But when you hear the reality today for the U S is we're looking now close to as few as six out of 10 ever becoming mothers, you know, that gap in, I think, people's dreams for family and young people's assumptions that, hey, society's got me covered.

01:38:48.860 They're telling me to get an education.

01:38:50.520 They're telling me to work hard.

01:38:51.840 And of course, then I'm going to be able to meet someone and settle down because that's what most people want to do.

01:38:57.500 And then finding out as many as 30% of women dreaming of a family end up childless.

01:39:06.040 Steven, um, does the, the fact that for some reason, this new generation is not having as much sex, uh, as every other generation before, is that going to pile on to this and make it worse?

01:39:23.820 We haven't seen that yet.

01:39:26.520 And I'm not sure it will, but when I, when you look at all of the challenges, my kids are in their twenties, you know, you see the challenges of this generation, um, you know, relationship, sex, certainly in terms of devoting time to, you know, spending time alone and perhaps gaming, et cetera.

01:39:46.840 To me, those are not causes.

01:39:49.420 They're actually consequences.

01:39:51.080 It used to be in all societies that a young man and woman would have a family by mid twenties.

01:40:00.140 They'd have different responsibilities.

01:40:01.900 They would mature in certain ways.

01:40:04.840 Right now, let's say you're 20 years old and there's someone you're quite interested in.

01:40:10.040 You're not thinking at that age, mostly they might be the person I settled down and have family with because for many people that's 10 years away.

01:40:18.120 So what do you do?

01:40:19.900 You fill up your twenties with other things.

01:40:24.020 What's the point of investing in a relationship?

01:40:26.600 What's the point of, you know, developing a path in life that would prepare me for our children that comes in the thirties.

01:40:34.720 And I think, you know, my speculation is a lot of the current issues and challenges with, with younger people stem from the reality.

01:40:44.560 We're no longer doing what we used to do in our twenties, which was start to raise a family.

01:40:50.780 Yeah.

01:40:51.580 Hold, you hold for one minute.

01:40:53.200 I got to take a quick network break and then we'll be back.

01:40:55.720 Um, it was Stephen Shaw talking about the population implosion that is coming and what does this mean for the future, near future, uh, and what can be done to correct it?

01:41:05.900 NMLS 1-82334 NMLS consumeraccess.org APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.

01:41:12.840 Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

01:41:16.420 There is a difference between making money and keeping it.

01:41:21.080 Uh, a lot of people work hard, they budget, they try to be responsible yet every month you feel like, you know, money is leaking through your fingers, you know, with the interest payments and the debt that now never really shrinks.

01:41:31.460 That's not necessarily a spending problem.

01:41:33.580 It could be a structure problem.

01:41:35.320 If your mortgage isn't aligned with your current financial reality, if you're carrying high interest credit card balances while sitting on equity, you could be working harder, much harder than you need to.

01:41:45.180 And that's where American financing can make a real difference.

01:41:48.320 Their salaried in-house loan consultants take the time to look at the whole picture and walk you through the options that may help you lower your monthly payment, consolidate debt, or restructure your loans.

01:41:58.360 So it actually works for you.

01:41:59.720 It's not about a quick gimmick, uh, or a quick fix.

01:42:02.240 It's about making sure the money you've already earned isn't quietly working against you.

01:42:07.920 If you have problems with your financing, uh, you just need some help.

01:42:11.400 You need somebody, just a fresh set of eyes to look at it.

01:42:13.640 No obligation.

01:42:14.940 Contact Americanfinancing.net, Americanfinancing.net, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.

01:42:23.340 10 seconds and back with Steven.

01:42:25.220 You know, it's really amazing to me how many people have an opinion about what's going on with the FCC and they have no idea. 0.97

01:42:53.200 They don't know their butt from their elbow.

01:42:54.800 I've been in this business radio for almost 50 years. 0.98

01:42:58.380 Um, and, uh, I don't really even understand all of this.

01:43:02.180 The guy, before you form an opinion or go off and, you know, blast and tweet something, why don't we get the facts from the chairman of the FCC on what is actually happening?

01:43:11.700 And I'm not sure which side I'm even going to come down on, but, uh, he joins us here in about 10 minutes.

01:43:17.060 So stand by for that.

01:43:18.380 Um, Steven, um, what does this mean?

01:43:23.820 Uh, and when are we, you know, you say this started in the seventies and we didn't really see it cause it was slow.

01:43:29.440 So now it's starting to creep up and people are starting to be aware of it, but when do we see it actually where it's take your breath away impact?

01:43:39.240 Yeah.

01:43:40.100 Well, focus on the U S for a moment.

01:43:43.300 We're already seeing the impact in parts of Europe and Japan and Korea, uh, U S has benefited from, you know, more open immigration than many countries.

01:43:51.640 And that is a balancing factor, but the low birth rate is now at a point really where balancing this with immigration will be a challenge even for the U S.

01:44:01.840 So if you look forward, I like to look at the timeframe that the total number of births in the country will half for the U S births are going to half.

01:44:11.240 If they stay the same as they are now, and I found a thing they're going down.

01:44:15.680 Births are going to half in the U S every 80 years.

01:44:17.800 So by the end of the century, instead of something close to 4 million births, you're going to have around 2 million births per year.

01:44:25.860 Now you, even in the year 2100, you may not notice that in New York city or Chicago, because you know what people most likely will still flock to cities.

01:44:36.000 There will still be congestion.

01:44:37.400 It will feel crowded, but you go to the slightly more urban, uh, slightly more rural areas, and you'll find those are communities that will be decimated.

01:44:46.900 Communities with the first thing that happens is the schools closed down.

01:44:51.300 What happens when schools closed down?

01:44:53.400 Young parents, potential parents move away.

01:44:56.000 They move to other areas that become more expensive because that's where the jobs are.

01:45:00.240 And the older people get left behind in the decaying towns, social security. 0.96

01:45:05.080 Well, we already have issues with national debts and being able to afford social security and healthcare.

01:45:10.640 These are the good days when it comes to that.

01:45:14.380 I just can't imagine how we're going to, you know, face the mounting debts from the shrinking number of workers that this implies.

01:45:22.200 And yes, it may be the AI and robots will help our efficiency, but the scale at which we're going to need to increase productivity to counter that, to keep our societies maintained the way they are, is a very big question indeed.

01:45:35.640 Indeed.

01:45:36.520 So basically all the cards are against this in terms of how government functions, how we look after society, as well as the idea of, you know, I spent about seven years in Detroit city, uh, in the suburbs, of course, because at that time, anyway, uh, around the time of the bankruptcy in 2013.

01:45:54.860 And no one lived in the center then you, everyone lived in the suburbs because you know what happened now that wasn't because of population decline, but the exact same impact of decaying, the imploding cities and bankruptcies.

01:46:08.560 Yeah.

01:46:09.020 We're talking multiple city bankruptcies and not being able to, to, yeah.

01:46:14.280 Steven, I, I'm fascinated by this.

01:46:16.820 My, my staff said, Glenn, you're the, once you talk to Steven, you're, this is all you're going to think about.

01:46:21.300 I'd love to have you back and I'd love to spend a podcast with you, um, and talk about, you know, the rest of this, but also what can we do besides go out and have sex and have children, go have children.

01:46:34.840 Um, and you can educate yourself, go to birthgap.org, birthgap.org.

01:46:41.080 Um, Steven Shaw is the writer and producer of birth gap.

01:46:44.580 Um, check out the information, check out his website and, uh, Steven, I'd love to have you back.

01:46:48.900 Thank you so much.

01:46:49.780 Thank you.

01:46:52.380 You bet.

01:46:53.140 Um, we have the chairman of the FCC on with us next.

01:46:57.460 Um, interested to see how this is going to play out in America.

01:47:02.800 Uh, first, let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:47:04.340 It's relief factor.

01:47:05.380 You know, when did you start accepting pain as just part of getting older?

01:47:10.160 Okay.

01:47:10.560 Cause that is your first thought as you're getting older.

01:47:12.740 You're like, ah, it's just getting older.

01:47:14.440 Don't, don't do that.

01:47:15.540 Don't do that.

01:47:16.160 Um, you know, you things, your body starts to reject, you know, the stairs or whatever,

01:47:20.740 um, you know, just standing up somewhere along the way.

01:47:24.480 A lot of us just shrug and say, okay, that's how it is, but it doesn't have to be.

01:47:28.480 Does it relief factor developed by doctors to support your body's natural response to

01:47:33.480 inflammation because inflammation is often the real culprit behind that daily aching

01:47:38.760 and stiffness.

01:47:39.320 This is not about masking discomfort for a few hours.

01:47:42.160 It's about giving your body consistent support so you can move more comfortably over time.

01:47:47.160 And the track record is strong.

01:47:49.020 Over a million people have tried relief factor.

01:47:50.760 Two thirds of them go on to take more month after month, uh, because pain is just, it stopped

01:47:55.120 negotiating with it.

01:47:56.100 Okay.

01:47:56.560 You don't have to live that way.

01:47:58.420 Don't wait.

01:47:59.060 If you're dealing with daily pain, launch your three week quick start.

01:48:01.580 Now see what relief factor can do for you.

01:48:04.200 Go to relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief, 800, the number four relief relief relief factor.com.

01:48:11.260 How will it feel to be out of pain?

01:48:16.660 Torch insiders get the Glenn Beck podcast before anyone else tonight, the special forces vet

01:48:21.540 who pulled off an insane rescue mission from Maduro's regime.

01:48:24.860 6 PM Eastern only at glennbeck.com slash torch.

01:48:28.180 You know, um, I find this next topic so fascinating because there is a difference between equal time

01:48:48.860 and the fairness doctrine and people always confuse the two.

01:48:51.920 Um, and you would only know about either of those.

01:48:55.060 I think if you've ever been, you know, regulated by the FCC, most people don't even understand

01:49:00.020 what they are, but there are rules on public airwaves and they're different, um, than cable

01:49:06.700 and, and everything else because those are public airwaves.

01:49:10.460 Um, and me, I love deregulation.

01:49:14.100 I'd love to see the FCC pretty much go away except for very few things to make sure that

01:49:19.760 we are, you know, you know, that we're still safe.

01:49:22.920 Um, but, uh, at the same time, we are living with a bunch of conservatives that always say

01:49:31.740 the same thing.

01:49:32.420 And that is, you know, the left uses every weapon in the chest and then, and then, then

01:49:36.980 they, they make up other weapons that aren't even in the constitutional chest.

01:49:41.420 You know, we got to fight back and use our, well, here's the FCC using the actual law,

01:49:47.320 the way it is supposed to be, um, applying those.

01:49:50.880 And then conservatives get upset.

01:49:53.440 I, I want you to hear it from the horse's mouth on what is actually, what is the law,

01:49:58.940 what is actually happening, and then we can have the conversation of, should that be that

01:50:04.560 way or not?

01:50:05.800 Brendan Carr is with us.

01:50:07.040 He is the chairman of the FCC.

01:50:09.060 Um, and, uh, he is here to talk to us about what's happening with the view and Colbert.

01:50:14.720 Brendan, how are you, uh, sir?

01:50:17.200 I'm doing great.

01:50:17.980 Good to be with you again.

01:50:18.900 Appreciate it.

01:50:20.020 Yeah, good.

01:50:20.560 You bet.

01:50:21.200 Okay.

01:50:21.540 So did the FCC give CBS legal guidance about the interview, uh, with, uh, Tallarico?

01:50:29.500 The equal time.

01:50:30.400 No, not at all.

01:50:32.900 I woke up, uh, Tuesday morning and logged on to, uh, social media.

01:50:37.180 And that was the first time that I'd even heard about this.

01:50:39.900 And I woke up to a politician claiming, uh, that the FCC had somehow not aired is what

01:50:46.240 they said.

01:50:46.660 The FCC refused to air this segment.

01:50:49.560 And that wasn't true at all.

01:50:51.040 Not only was that not true, but the subsequent claim that, well, it was CBS that refused to

01:50:56.220 air.

01:50:56.380 It was also proved to be a hoax as well.

01:50:59.280 That in fact, CBS apparently had advised Colbert they could run the exact interview that they

01:51:03.980 wanted.

01:51:04.580 And they just need to be mindful that it could trigger an equal time obligation for other

01:51:10.260 candidates.

01:51:10.900 And again, that would be a circumstance in which Colbert himself wouldn't even have had

01:51:15.040 to conduct the interview.

01:51:16.360 But to your point, you know, step back.

01:51:18.800 Broadcast TV is fundamentally different, as you noted, than cable, than streaming, than social

01:51:22.960 media, because you have a license by the government.

01:51:25.020 And the reason you have a license is because we can't have multiple people on the same airways

01:51:29.660 at the same time.

01:51:30.360 So the government in broadcast, but not cable, not streaming, picks winners and losers.

01:51:35.040 They say, you get a license.

01:51:36.940 And necessarily that means your friend or your neighbor don't get the license.

01:51:41.160 And so when you broadcast, you're supposed to stand in the shoes, not just of yourself,

01:51:45.740 which is what you do on cable and everything else.

01:51:47.380 It's a public trust model.

01:51:48.660 You're supposed to operate in what we call the public interest and to look out for the

01:51:53.020 views and interests of those that were denied by the government a license.

01:51:57.300 And so one of those specific stature requirements is called equal time.

01:52:01.560 And the idea here was that Congress didn't want media gatekeepers picking winners and losers

01:52:08.640 in elections.

01:52:09.860 They wanted individual people, the voters, to make those decisions.

01:52:14.000 But they knew that the powerful broadcasters could put a thumb on the scale and tip elections

01:52:18.920 by putting preferred candidate on the airways and denying others.

01:52:23.600 So they said equal time.

01:52:25.100 If you're going to have one candidate on, provide equal time for the other.

01:52:28.740 And it's funny for me to see people claiming that this is censorship.

01:52:32.360 It's the opposite of that.

01:52:34.420 There is nothing about the equal time rule that would ever prohibit anybody from having any

01:52:40.040 candidate on the air.

01:52:41.440 It simply says their opposition candidates should get an equal opportunity potentially

01:52:46.780 down the road.

01:52:48.400 Now, Congress then stepped in.

01:52:50.200 Hang on, hang on.

01:52:52.140 Let me, let me just speak as a broadcaster, but what it does do this, what the fairness

01:52:55.580 doctrine did.

01:52:56.360 And again, they're separate, but what the fairness doctrine did is it made broadcasters,

01:53:01.600 I know because I lived it, say it's not worth the hassle.

01:53:04.500 I just don't want to just forget the interview.

01:53:06.940 And so it is limiting only because they choose to limit.

01:53:11.400 I mean, you're going to have to have three different candidates on.

01:53:14.100 If you do that candidate, you're going to have to have three candidates on for the equal

01:53:17.860 time rule.

01:53:18.900 And then they get to decide, is that worth it or not?

01:53:22.600 Correct?

01:53:23.540 Well, one reason that's slightly different than the fairness doctrine is the fairness

01:53:27.840 doctrine said, if you're going to cover a controversial issue of public importance right then and there,

01:53:32.980 you got to give the left perspective and the right perspective with equal timing is you

01:53:37.880 can have just one candidate on your broadcast TV or radio program, but at some point in

01:53:44.500 the future, a different coast, a different time, they get equal comparable airtimes.

01:53:51.440 It doesn't require you to do it in the moment the same way that the fairness doctrine would

01:53:55.580 have done.

01:53:56.420 But Congress committed and said, you know what?

01:53:58.160 Let's create some exceptions to this.

01:53:59.540 And they create exceptions for what are known as bonafide news programs.

01:54:03.460 So if you're a bonafide news program, Congress was thinking about Meet the Press and different

01:54:07.980 programs like that, that you're just actually doing sort of journalistic work.

01:54:13.100 You're not trying to put a thumb on the scale for a candidate.

01:54:15.600 You're just trying to interview someone with, you know, normal journalistic questions.

01:54:20.200 You don't have to abide by equal time.

01:54:22.320 Okay, flash forward.

01:54:23.160 Over the last 30 or 40 years, everybody came to the FCC and they were getting dexterity

01:54:29.920 rulings to say that they were bonafide news programs and therefore exempt.

01:54:34.320 And people effectively read the exception as swallowing the rule.

01:54:38.280 And they said, anything goes.

01:54:39.580 Any TV program, any radio program is now bonafide news.

01:54:42.860 The exception swallows the rule.

01:54:44.500 And what we did at the beginning of the year was we said, listen, that's not what the statute

01:54:48.360 says.

01:54:48.880 That's not actually what the FCC case law says.

01:54:50.860 So just be mindful it's political season.

01:54:54.100 There's legally qualified candidates that you're going to have on and be mindful of the equal

01:54:58.000 time rule.

01:54:59.580 And again, on the Colbert episode, they were apparently given advice that they could do

01:55:04.200 this, but Colbert apparently did not want to have Jasmine Crockett on who's running in

01:55:08.640 opposition in the Democrat primary to James Tallarico.

01:55:12.940 And it appears to be that he ran a hoax that he knew he could fool the mainstream media,

01:55:17.320 the legacy media, by claiming he was censored and he could drive clicks and donations and

01:55:23.080 get a leg up on Jasmine Crockett.

01:55:24.960 And the national news media just went along hook, line, and sinker because it fit with

01:55:29.840 all their priors that this was Trump censorship.

01:55:33.000 But this was a decision by Colbert and by Tallarico to put a hoax out there that they knew

01:55:38.120 the media would run for purposes of Tallarico apparently scoring political points against

01:55:42.820 Jasmine Crockett.

01:55:43.580 If I was Jasmine Crockett, I'd be pretty upset by that.

01:55:46.660 All right.

01:55:47.380 So tell me about the view.

01:55:49.760 What's happening with the view?

01:55:52.980 The view is similar.

01:55:54.220 So the view apparently is claiming that they are a bonafide news program and therefore can

01:56:01.500 have one political candidate on and not afford equal opportunity to other candidates.

01:56:07.280 And what we have said is that the view has not established, they've not made the case

01:56:11.960 to the FCC that they do in fact qualify for the exception to the rule.

01:56:17.240 And so we have started an enforcement inquiry, taking enforcement actions to explore this

01:56:24.060 issue with them and move forward.

01:56:27.000 Again, they have not made the case that they are a bonafide news program and we're actively

01:56:31.620 looking at that.

01:56:32.320 So the one thing, Brendan, that I've always loved about you is you're a small government

01:56:39.000 guy.

01:56:39.660 And I will tell you one of the effects of this, I don't know if I'm sure you saw it, the

01:56:44.900 Washington Post editorial today about the abolition of the FCC rules.

01:56:51.080 I mean, it is, let me see if I can pull it up here.

01:56:53.360 It is absolutely incredible.

01:56:55.860 They are now talking about how maybe, listen to this, the Trump presidency ought to be an

01:57:03.820 education for progressives in the ways government over and the way government over regulation

01:57:09.080 can distort politics and business.

01:57:12.420 Passed by Congress as part of 1934 Communications Act, equal time rule says, blah, blah, blah, blah,

01:57:16.720 blah.

01:57:16.900 The FCC is charged with enforcing it.

01:57:19.160 The government shouldn't be dictating the political content of late night television,

01:57:23.200 nor any other entertainment Americans choose to consume.

01:57:26.580 But that's exactly what the equal time rule does.

01:57:29.240 It says that it is outdated and needs to be deregulated.

01:57:36.220 Could we maybe have an opportunity here where we can get rid of a lot of this regulation because

01:57:41.640 they're suddenly for it?

01:57:43.160 Well, I don't think everything they're saying there in terms of their understanding of the

01:57:47.740 way this rule operates is right.

01:57:49.120 But listen, if a collateral unintended consequence of me doing my job is we've got a lot more

01:57:54.520 converts to a small government conservatism, I guess I'll take that as a win.

01:57:58.920 But to your point, think about it this way.

01:58:01.400 A lot of times the Republicans are in government and they get gavels.

01:58:04.340 They take their gavel and they go to the farthest flung corners of the earth and they bury the 0.56

01:58:10.660 gavel in the sand.

01:58:11.660 And they say, if we were to actually just apply the law in an even-handed way, then Democrats

01:58:17.200 will get the gavel again and they'll weaponize it. 0.99

01:58:19.500 And what that fundamentally misreads, among other things, is we have a job to do.

01:58:23.280 The statute requires this.

01:58:24.560 Let's apply it.

01:58:25.040 Let's not weaponize it.

01:58:26.700 Let's not abuse it.

01:58:27.720 Let's not be biased about it.

01:58:28.820 But let's apply it in an even-handed way.

01:58:30.560 And that's what I'm doing.

01:58:31.540 Now, what Democrats do when they get gavels is they weaponize it.

01:58:34.380 And we saw this at the FCC.

01:58:35.920 When the Democrats were charged in the FCC during the Biden years, they went after Fox

01:58:40.520 broadcast TV station and threatened to not renew their license for programming they didn't

01:58:46.320 like on Fox News cable, which is not regulated by the FCC.

01:58:50.300 You had Democrats that pressured cable companies to drop Fox News and OAN and Newsmax.

01:58:54.760 And that campaign worked.

01:58:56.160 You had senators on the Democrat side calling for the FCC to investigate.

01:59:00.500 Sinclair, a broadcaster, for news distortion because they were viewed as a conservative

01:59:06.320 outlet.

01:59:06.940 And so Democrats actually weaponize.

01:59:09.160 Whenever Democrats get gavels again at the FCC, let me tell you something.

01:59:12.140 They're going to weaponize.

01:59:13.860 What we need to do is that when we're here, let's just apply the law.

01:59:17.640 Let's not weaponize it against Republicans or Democrats, but the law is on the books.

01:59:21.420 If people want to get together and go to Congress and say change the law, then they should do

01:59:26.060 that.

01:59:26.460 But up until then, we're just going to do this in a fair, even handed and balanced way.

01:59:31.020 Honestly, Brendan, if you said to me, Glenn, you know, you haven't applied for news status

01:59:37.640 or whatever has to be done.

01:59:39.720 And, you know, it's in question that, you know, the Democrats are saying it's in question

01:59:43.880 that you're a legitimate news program.

01:59:45.980 And I say, well, what does that mean?

01:59:47.460 And you'd say, you can't have just one politician on that's running for office.

01:59:53.080 You, at some point would have to have, you know, the others on as well.

01:59:57.680 I, I would take that as a giant blessing.

02:00:00.300 Really?

02:00:01.180 Thank you.

02:00:02.420 And I don't, I wouldn't have them on anymore.

02:00:05.140 I just, I wouldn't, I think it might make the show better.

02:00:07.940 I think it might make Colbert even better by not having them on.

02:00:11.700 Um, but that's the only consequence of this, right?

02:00:16.460 Is just candidates running you, if you air them and you're not a legitimate news source,

02:00:24.260 you or the network has to have the other candidates on in an equal kind of time, uh, uh, scenario.

02:00:34.520 Correct.

02:00:35.900 That's effectively right.

02:00:37.120 That's how the rule operates.

02:00:39.160 And again, the idea here is let's let individual people, voters get more information and they

02:00:45.380 pick the winners of primaries and of generals.

02:00:48.320 Let's not have the media gatekeepers abuse their position of power, the position of public

02:00:54.440 trust of being on the airwaves to unfairly advantage one candidate or party over another.

02:01:00.020 So it's a leveling of the playing field.

02:01:01.760 It's about more speech, not less, but again, people can go to Congress and try to change

02:01:06.500 it.

02:01:08.200 I would love for anybody who wants to make the FCC smaller or any government agency smaller.

02:01:12.820 Um, and well, you're right enough to know that you're the same guy I am and we're, and we

02:01:18.100 are doing it.

02:01:18.580 We're actually running the largest deregulatory initiative in the agency's history.

02:01:23.080 We've gone through our big stack of code of federal regulations and we are deleting and

02:01:28.020 deleting and deleting.

02:01:29.020 We've getting rid of hundreds of regulations at this point, a lot of dead wood, a lot of

02:01:34.120 regulations we don't need on the broadcast side though.

02:01:36.580 Again, it's just, it's a fundamentally different medium.

02:01:38.620 And on social media, my position is very clear and continues to be, we want wide open, robust,

02:01:44.480 uninhibited debate.

02:01:46.140 Um, and that's what we want to see.

02:01:48.560 But if you want to be on the unique medium of broadcast TV, you've got to comply with

02:01:53.320 the rules of the road there.

02:01:55.080 Yeah.

02:01:55.700 Uh, Brendan, thank you very much.

02:01:57.700 I appreciate it.

02:01:58.900 FCC chairman, Brendan Carr.

02:02:01.100 Good talking to you.

02:02:01.820 Uh, all right, take a final break here.

02:02:05.240 Uh, my Patriot supply thought experiment, flip a switch in your house right now.

02:02:10.340 And imagine it doesn't work.

02:02:11.900 No lights, no hum of the fridge, no wifi, no heat, no way to charge your phone.

02:02:16.280 Just silence.

02:02:17.320 For the first hour, it's an inconvenience.

02:02:19.440 And then it starts to get dark and you light a candle and you check the breaker and you'll

02:02:23.060 assume that's going to be on soon by hour.

02:02:25.200 Six is starting to become a real problem.

02:02:27.100 Day two.

02:02:28.020 It's a different world.

02:02:29.120 Modern life is built on systems we never see until they fail.

02:02:33.580 And we trust that they're not going to fail, but they do.

02:02:36.640 Most people don't realize that our world has been built for comfort.

02:02:41.240 Uh, and when that fails, uh, the world gets very uncomfortable very quickly.

02:02:46.700 That's why I talk about my Patriot supply, whether it's long-term emergency food that doesn't

02:02:50.880 depend on the grid or backup power solutions like the grid doctor 3,300 solar generator.

02:02:56.060 Um, that thing is made so your home can function even when the system can't go.

02:03:01.460 If you go to prepare with Glenn.com, when you order a grid doctor generator, you're going

02:03:05.740 to get over $800 in free preparedness gifts, including a four week survival food kit, water

02:03:11.300 filtration, cook stove, and so much more.

02:03:13.600 This is the basic of what you need.

02:03:15.800 They're not going to be around long.

02:03:17.120 So go to prepare with Glenn.com right away.

02:03:19.760 That's prepare with Glenn.com.

02:03:23.480 Glenn Beck.

02:04:01.180 Um, and I can't seem to find it.

02:04:02.620 It's the story about Reese's, uh, Mr. Reese's as in Reese's peanut butter cups, very upset

02:04:08.520 at Hershey chocolate because they've changed the recipe.

02:04:11.120 And I'm reading this today and I'm like, oh my gosh, I thought it was just me.

02:04:16.180 I had one last week for Valentine's day and it was absolutely awful.

02:04:20.620 And Sarah, how long have you been living like this?

02:04:23.100 Probably like not sharing this information.

02:04:24.860 Seven, eight months.

02:04:26.240 Maybe.

02:04:26.860 Really?

02:04:27.160 I just stopped eating them. 0.83

02:04:28.240 They're disgusting.

02:04:30.100 Right.

02:04:30.920 I mean, I took it out of the little, I mean, and I mean little, cause they're not the same

02:04:34.420 size anymore, but I took it out a little pack and it even like almost disintegrated in

02:04:39.000 my hands and it, uh, it's not even, I read this article today.

02:04:43.920 It's, it's chocolate candy, which means it's not actually chocolate.

02:04:51.000 Okay.

02:04:51.640 It used to be milk chocolate, which by law has to be a certain formula.

02:04:57.560 And this is chocolate candy and it's not even peanut butter.

02:05:01.720 They're calling it like peanut butter flavored or I don't know what they're calling, but it's

02:05:08.240 not, it's nothing is real in it.

02:05:10.200 It's awful.

02:05:11.600 It's awful.

02:05:12.900 And can I jump in?

02:05:14.340 Thank you.

02:05:14.840 Yeah.

02:05:15.380 Brad, Mr. Reese.

02:05:18.980 Can we maybe go to a better social platform so that everybody knows that this trash, I 0.97

02:05:24.280 need to troll this now. 0.74

02:05:26.840 I have, I've had a jihad against LinkedIn since the very beginning of LinkedIn.

02:05:32.300 And I actually thought of joining LinkedIn just to be able to reach out to him and say,

02:05:38.240 I'm with you, brother.

02:05:39.600 We grabbed the pitchforks and we head to Hershey, Pennsylvania.
