00:00:12.120Feel the arrow bubbles melt. It's mind-bubbling.
00:00:15.120Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day.
00:00:17.880We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:00:24.160We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:00:28.940But to keep this fight going, we need you.
00:00:31.620Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:00:35.280Give us five stars and leave a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:00:44.100This isn't a podcast. This is a movement. And you're part of it. A big part of it.
00:00:48.940So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
00:00:54.040Rate, review, share. Together, we'll make a difference.
00:27:24.680I think you need to prove you're an American citizen.
00:27:26.620I think if I need to show ID to buy some cold medicine at the drugstore, well, you ought to be able to find it and present it to vote.
00:27:37.040I don't really think making it harder to vote is a bad thing in a lot of ways.
00:27:42.420I just think there ought to be a little effort, especially if you consider what all went into founding this country and, of course, for keeping us free all of these years.
00:27:53.420So, anyway, this is a massive piece of what needs to happen behind the scenes.
00:28:00.680And we do have some updates on nationally what's happening.
00:28:04.080But let's go to Georgia right now because they're looking at doing this, in fact, on a state level in Georgia, a state who's, let's be honest, no stranger to some shenanigans.
00:28:45.620Well, you know, it's not much worse than what happened here in Michigan, you know, where I'm at, in Detroit, at the TCF Center at the time where they're counting these votes.
00:29:25.120So we want to amend the Georgia Constitution to do what D.C. seems incapable of doing, which is to take a lead on voter ID in the Constitution, the state Constitution, and requiring people to prove that they're an American citizen to register to vote.
00:29:40.260This should be low-hanging fruit, but it's going to be incredibly controversial.
00:29:43.660I believe every Democrat will probably vote against the bill on the floor, just like they did in committee.
00:29:49.320But the second piece of what I'll move to tomorrow is to get rid of the Dominion machines in Georgia and move to a hand-marked paper ballot so that we'll vote in Georgia the same way they vote in Florida, which is on a hand-marked paper ballot.
00:30:01.380And then we put a number of other audit provisions and other kind of back-end election security into place.
00:30:08.020The bill would levy significant fines on counties like Fulton County that refuse to clean their voter rolls.
00:30:14.660I've traveled around Fulton County and done some X videos showing that we've got thousands of people illegally registered to vote in Fulton County using UPS stores, abandoned buildings, parking lots, homeless shelters that have been closed for a decade.
00:30:29.140And Fulton County just refuses to clean up their voter rolls.
00:30:32.360So we've got to put the force of law behind that to force their hand on cleaning those rolls.
00:30:39.740When you look at this and we've got the same problem here in Michigan, our Secretary of State, who I believe is one of the most lawless in the history of the state, she's been told a number of times by judges that she's breaking the law, breaking the law.
00:30:53.280One of the things that we go back to 2020 where she told them we had this massive, you know, these ballots coming in, absentee and whatnot, mail-in, in historic levels, she told the local clerks, the county clerk, you don't have to inspect those signatures on that debt.
00:31:08.480Wouldn't that be the time you'd want to take a closer look just to make sure that everything's on the up and up?
00:31:14.440So we've got that and we've got her padding the voter rolls, refusing to clean them up.
00:31:22.660Sounds like they're all running the same playbook.
00:31:25.820Yeah, I do think it's the same playbook.
00:31:27.580Like, you know, Fulton County currently, they're required by law to have two Republicans, two Democrats, and one person nominated by the Fulton County chairman on their board of elections.
00:31:40.220So you're supposed to have essentially two, two, and one.
00:31:42.520And the reality is in Fulton County, the one is always going to be a Democrat.
00:31:46.200So they already have a three to two structural advantage on their county election board.
00:31:51.880But they are refusing to confirm the appointment by the Republican Party of one of the Republican nominees.
00:31:59.840So you've got now a three to one advantage because they refuse to seat one of the Republicans.
00:32:05.720They've been ordered by a judge three separate times to seat the Republican.
00:32:20.240So this is banana Republic level stuff happening in Fulton County.
00:32:23.720I've actually called on the state election board to take over the Fulton County elections because they refuse to follow the plain reading of Georgia law.
00:32:33.960And we've got to restore confidence in these elections.
00:32:36.460And we're, you know, we're one of these states that has, you've got essentially one massive city and then everyone else.
00:32:43.480And that massive city for Atlanta being in Fulton County, that one county sways the election statewide.
00:32:50.680And so if that county ignores the law, you really end up in a situation where no one trusts the outcome of the elections because Fulton County refuses to play by the rules.
00:33:00.880Let me switch gears if I can just a little bit here because, Greg, you're in Georgia.
00:33:19.120It's definitely not Michigan or Texas, but you do see attempts really in every state in the union to allow parallel legal systems through these tribunals.
00:33:31.120And I introduced a law to ensure that we only have American laws in American, well, in Georgian courts.
00:33:37.020And I think that's something we should be looking to do statewide because a lot of times, or sorry, nationwide, every state should be looking at doing this.
00:33:44.040Because oftentimes what you see is a parallel legal system gets set up through these tribunals where they will adjudicate cases based on Sharia law.
00:33:53.720And in some of those cases, the outcomes of the ruling will violate constitutional rights given specifically oftentimes to women under the United States Constitution that is not protected in Sharia law.
00:34:07.180And so that is just the camel nose under the tent.
00:34:10.640And we need to ensure that we push back against that injection of Sharia law into American courts in every state in the union.
00:34:42.020You guys may have like a co-ticket where the governor picks the lieutenant governor.
00:34:45.200Yeah, we actually have two – it's a completely separate constitutional office.
00:34:49.480So conceivably, you could have a scenario where the lieutenant governor and governor are from opposite parties.
00:34:56.820And so I'm running for lieutenant governor, and I believe that we're in a fight to save Western civilization.
00:35:02.840I think that we save the West by saving America.
00:35:05.340And providentially, I think that we save America by saving Georgia.
00:35:08.780Georgia is ground zero really for every nationwide election right now.
00:35:12.920The control of the United States Senate runs through Georgia.
00:35:15.860The road to the White House runs through Georgia.
00:35:18.020Georgia, we've got – every single constitutional officer in Georgia is a Republican, and we've got two Democrat United States senators, largely due to what happened in the 2020 election.
00:35:29.100And so we are a hinged state, I believe, in the fight to save the republic.
00:35:33.360I don't have enough time to talk to you.
00:35:35.960You sound like a very interesting individual, Greg.
00:35:39.120I just read in your bio, probably the piece that is one of the most interesting is that you spent 11 years working as a tour manager for Christian artist Chris Tomlin, who I'm familiar with.
00:35:53.540That's got – I bet you've got some stories.
00:35:57.900I tell people I spent 10 years sleeping two feet away from Chris Tomlin, but we were in separate – we were separated by a curtain and a piece of plywood.
00:36:04.800So nothing nefarious there, but, yeah, I had the opportunity of a lifetime to be on the road with Chris from 2005 to 2016, really, as his career was getting started and then was a rocket ship.
00:36:17.080And got to see him share the gospel all over the world, and it was really, really a lot of fun.
00:36:22.540Yeah, there's so much happening right now, even in Iran as we speak, as we've heard about Christian revival happening there and all over the place.
00:36:32.720Well, I bet we could talk for hours about some of these things.
00:36:36.940Before I let you go, what's the best way people can catch up, maybe stay up to date with things that are happening, whether they're in Georgia or beyond with you?
00:37:52.380Unfortunately, Republicans, folks on the right, I don't think want to save the country as much as Democrats, progressive and the left, mostly the radicals really, want to destroy it.
00:38:03.360And it's time for us to get into action.
00:38:06.520So we'll talk more about that coming up today on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:38:09.240Justin Barkley in for Glenn today, back after this on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:38:15.940You're going to have to hold that thought, my friend.
00:39:50.500In fact, that's some of what we have on the radar today to keep an eye on with everything that's happening, obviously, in Iran.
00:39:59.220And I think it ties into China and what I want to talk about.
00:40:01.820In fact, coming up, we'll do just that in the next hour.
00:40:06.860But this is what the press secretary had to say about oil prices yesterday.
00:40:13.980To your first question about oil prices, thank God we have a president who has exuded American energy dominance over the past year,
00:40:21.880an administration that is wholeheartedly focused on keeping prices stable as best as we can.
00:40:27.380Of course, this operation is temporary to protect the homeland, but crude oil prices did fall yesterday.
00:40:33.600They remain stable today after the president announced steps to ensure the stability in global energy markets.
00:40:39.480Again, those include the DEC offering reasonably priced political risk insurance and the potential for the U.S. Navy to provide protection for the flow of energy through the state through the Strait of Hormuz.
00:40:50.700It is the president's belief and his economic team's belief that the economy continues to be very strong.
00:40:56.620It's robust and will be able to weather any of the temporary impacts of Operation Epicure.
00:43:30.540Rough Greens is a nutritional supplement that you sprinkle right on top of your dog's existing food.
00:43:35.440And it helps support digestion with probiotics, joints, and skin with omega oils.
00:43:40.080And overall vitality with vitamins and minerals that the dogs need that they're not getting.
00:43:45.080If you love your pet, people all across the country are using Rough Greens as an easy way to support energy, mobility, and a healthier looking coat.
00:45:53.020So you are going to, I am sure you're going to see a lot of what I'm about ready to tell you.
00:45:58.460And some of this may be me preaching to the choir, but I'm going to endeavor to do this because there are people listening, believe it or not, who don't always agree with what we agree with.
00:46:10.700And we welcome them in, you know, with open arms.
00:46:49.280They do a lot of talking about things that you don't necessarily, you may even call them distractions.
00:46:55.120And they see surface on a lot of it and we're pulled around very easily because the algorithms that's talked about that earlier in the program.
00:47:03.740But there are things that we must consider and there are things that need to be talked about.
00:47:40.180I'm not using that word in a pejorative, but I'm saying that because we don't know, and quite often, now more than ever, and we've got access to all kinds of information.
00:47:51.560But because we don't know things, we're always looking for answers and it just doesn't feel good.
00:47:56.240You know, it doesn't feel good in your bones.
00:47:59.240It hurts your brain, in fact, when you don't have answers to things.
00:48:04.960There is a piece, and by the way, this is a faith thing for me, but there is a piece beyond understanding that only comes when you sort of rest in the fact that you can't know it all.
00:48:19.780In fact, that's a whole other conversation for a whole other time, but it's the subject of the book that I wrote, Good News, Hope and Encouragement for Trying Times.
00:48:34.520So I won't get into all of the machinations of it, but I will tell you that that's part of why we see so much of the rise.
00:48:41.180And you see people, you know who I'm talking about.
00:48:43.060You see people on a daily basis, you go, what happened to them?
00:49:13.020I mean, it's the phone that you're carrying, it's the TV that you're watching, it's the radio every now and then you'll get things that'll come through.
00:49:20.680And, you know, I'm even guilty of it every now and then we try our best.
00:49:24.360And I know Glenn goes above and beyond to make sure that everything you hear is right and everything you hear is accurate.
00:49:30.840But in the fog of war, sometimes we don't get it.
00:49:32.560I think I posted something the other day.
00:51:55.160And let me just, if I may, suggest another piece of the puzzle that hasn't been talked about as loudly in the news, and I think there's a reason for that.
00:52:05.220But I want you to understand so you have a full grasp of what we're dealing with and what the president is trying to accomplish.
00:52:25.040Nuclear facilities, you got missile factories, naval bases, and like I said, the DTAP capitation, you got those 49, 50, whatever it was, people that worked at the very top, the very top of the whole thing.
00:52:49.000I saw the meme the other day, the black smoke rising from the building there, and they said, black smoke means, kind of like they picked the Pope.
00:52:57.860They have not picked another Ayatollah.
00:55:46.820I want to dig in a little bit further to explain what happened over the weekend and what continues to happen.
00:55:54.760So that you can understand when you hear the argument, this isn't America first.
00:56:01.720You can understand what really is going on behind the scenes and why it matters.
00:56:09.720Back after this, Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:56:13.740When an emergency hits, it doesn't send out a warning.
00:56:17.660The power goes out, cell towers overload, and then suddenly your phone is nothing but a flashlight.
00:56:21.820The one thing you need most, communication, is gone.
00:56:24.480That's why you need Rapid Radios, and especially the new RAD-1.
00:56:27.640It cuts through the chaos with long-range, crystal-clear communication.
00:56:31.300So during a blackout, evacuations, or any severe weather, Rapid Radios keeps you connected to family, neighbors, and help when it matters most.
01:11:49.920I mean, they can reach Israel, but they can also reach Eastern Europe.
01:11:53.320For anybody who's saying this is about Israel, you know, bite your tongue.
01:11:57.400You have no idea what you're talking about.
01:11:59.000If you're that naive, you haven't done any research on what Iran can actually do, because they can actually reach Eastern European countries.
01:14:16.040But the damage some of these folks are doing, well, it could have tremendous consequences.
01:14:22.720You know, I think this is a good moment for people to believe that there is a chance of that happening because we're early on it.
01:14:30.040And politics is like things happen overnight in there and they're also stretched out for years.
01:14:35.320Right. So right now in the world of elections, I mean, when you think about the general election, there's a lot that can happen between now and then.
01:14:42.980And what I think you are going to see happen is right now the Democrats are trying to use this to divide us.
01:14:49.380And you do have some of these rogue people that claim to be a part of the GOP or the Republican Party in the past who clearly haven't been and aren't and are just rabble rousers.
01:14:58.780And they're not actually bringing any good facts to the table.
01:15:02.120And potentially they're getting paid by certain countries to do this.
01:15:05.380So I don't think that I think people have caught on to that as well.
01:15:08.740And they're not taking that as seriously.
01:15:10.060But then look at what you have in the Democrat Party.
01:15:12.880They're about to elevate a guy who believes there are six genders in Texas that tells us that your neighbors might have a uterus and then therefore they're being discriminated against.
01:15:23.920I mean, this is a guy who says he can't define a woman.
01:15:26.760This is a man who says that the story of Jesus' birth and the immaculate conception is a story of abortion and why God supports abortion.
01:15:39.580I mean, James Tallarico is a total lunatic.
01:15:42.500And I'm so glad that they elected him.
01:15:45.680I mean, you know, I think Jasmine would have been just as great.
01:15:48.400I would have taken Jasmine Crockett, too.
01:15:49.960But this guy is such a radical extremist that if the Democrat Party embraces him and they say, yes, we're about his trans agenda and we're about his radical gender and everything else that he stands for.
01:16:06.340And his blasphemous approach to the Bible.
01:16:09.700If they stand behind the the absolutely demonic things that James Tallarico puts out on a regular basis and that we have him on film and on tape saying there's no backing out of the crazy things that he said.
01:16:24.840If the Democrat Party is going to stand behind him and the AOCs of the world that go on the world stage and cannot even talk about foreign policy and fall flat on her face and does it can't even say who brought horses to North America.
01:16:40.220A woman who shares the same name as the Spanish conquistador who brought them to Mexico and she doesn't know this.
01:16:49.680I mean, if this is what they're going to do, then yeah, I'm telling you, we've got this in the bag.
01:19:17.260Last year, the IRS flagged over $16 billion in refunds for identity fraudsters.
01:19:23.860That's billions of dollars that could come from your salary, overtime, or second job.
01:19:28.160But this year, you don't need to stay a victim.
01:19:30.460LifeLock monitors millions of data points per second for your personal information, and it will alert you to a threat that you could easily miss on your own.
01:19:37.580Tanya and I have been saved by LifeLock several times, so we know the monitoring works.
01:19:41.100But if your information ever does fall into the wrong hands, only LifeLock has the U.S.-based restoration specialists who are backed by the million-dollar protection package.

01:20:19.020Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.
01:20:21.600I just, going through some of the things that are out there, thinking, okay, gotta make sure we get to this, gotta make sure we get to that.
01:20:28.180Here's one of the, I don't know if you saw, this was insane.
01:20:31.340They had a hearing yesterday in the Senate, and the senator there actually has to jump in.
01:20:37.060And one of the protesters, the guy just lost his mind, is a Marine.
01:20:42.920I don't know for how long, because this is, this is way above and beyond anything you'd expect to see.
01:20:51.620Getting an altercation, fighting with U.S. Capitol Police, and this is the back and forth.
01:41:40.340All of those, I do believe, are all good reasons and part of the reasons why we may take action there.
01:41:50.220But when you start to look at some of the other pieces that may, in fact, play into this, yeah, I think it's clear there's much more than meets the eye going on in some of these cases.
01:42:01.440And it's important to note that what we're watching is historic.
01:42:06.940And so there are folks out there that are criticizing.
01:42:10.520There are some folks out there that are, you know, that are leading that charge.
01:42:15.420I just don't think that's the right way to go about it.
01:42:18.220I think at some point you have to trust the president you elected, and many of these folks did, in fact, vote for him to get that job done.
01:46:52.700I understand there's got to be, got to be a little bit of prudence to it.
01:46:55.180But all these Democrats and folks have been wagging their finger, all of us, interested in this case in these files, you know, because it's politically expedient now.
01:48:21.220But what I will say is that it's never been more obvious, I think, today, the way Congress voted yesterday, that these Democrats, they never really cared.
01:48:33.780They never really cared about getting down to the bottom.
01:49:12.840Well, that's, I think that's what a lot of people are asking is, what are we missing?
01:49:16.260Why would these 350-some members of Congress not stand up for people who survived pervert members of Congress and release this information?
01:49:30.160Because what has been happening, and this really, I think, this really sort of came to light during the Me Too, the whole Me Too thing, which was in what?
01:49:42.420And people were saying, you know, there is this fund that members of Congress can use to pay off and basically pay settlements for people who are accusing them of, you know, terrible things, assaults and harassment and all kinds of things.
01:50:03.380And what sort of justice is that, first of all?
01:50:07.200Secondly, why are tax dollars being used for that?
01:50:11.200And thirdly, why aren't taxpayers and voters allowed to know what these members of Congress are doing?
01:50:18.400And my calculations were that over a period of about 20 years, nearly $20 million was spent this way.
01:50:29.720After Me Too, they sort of, you know, tried to make it go away.
01:51:06.900And so the vote yesterday, Nancy Mace and Tim Burchett sort of took the lead.
01:51:12.000And they wanted they they had a they wanted a floor vote to force all of these files, which, again, they typically there's there's non-disclosure agreements involved.
01:51:22.760There's, you know, a lot of secrecy to keep it away from taxpayers.
01:51:27.480They wanted all of these files from the last 30 years to be made public.
01:51:34.220But but what happened was there was a it was sort of fashioned as a procedural vote where actually what they were going to do.
01:51:41.240And when I say they, I mean, the majority that voted to do this, they voted to send it to the ethics committee.
01:51:48.200And so then the ethics committee would decide, well, all this is is bad actors protecting bad actors.
01:51:55.920And so the public taxpayers voters don't actually get to know what's going on.
01:52:02.100And so Nancy Mace and Tim Burchett and the others who who voted to not send it to the committee, but they wanted it to, you know, they wanted these records out there.
01:53:05.720And when it comes to these the the allegations in Congress, this it knows no party.
01:53:12.160There's Democrats and Republicans who are scumbags and who treat people like this.
01:53:16.680And so, you know, the people and so I think Representative Mace and Burchett and the others were saying these the taxpayers and citizens of America deserve to know who is doing what in Congress and and then hold those people accountable.
01:53:35.680And there was a moment to do that yesterday.
01:54:25.700Well, in this case, the taxpayers are the shareholders.
01:54:28.180And so the Congress for decades has been able to cover this up, you know, abuse people and then pay for it to go away and use our tax dollars to do it.
01:54:41.820Kyle Olson is a founder at the Midwestern or the Midwestern or dot news.
01:54:46.200You've done extensive coverage on the national story that was Goshen, the Chinese Communist Party linked battery plant in Michigan where they were trying to put in this.
01:54:56.160And of course, it was another one of these snow jobs.
01:54:58.420And now you're seeing this kind of transition into, in fact, Goshen is doing the very same thing, trying to transition into this data center fight, which is happening.
01:55:09.700People in little old Mecosta County in Michigan stood up, fought back against the not just the Chinese Communist Party, but also the state of Michigan.
01:55:17.780Lots of folks wanted to push this project through so they could, you know, take their pictures and get their campaign photo ops and cut ribbons and things like that.
01:55:27.560But those folks stood up and they fought back in an historic way.
01:55:31.700Right now, we're watching a very similar issue happen with data centers.
01:55:35.860And I just, you know, we don't have a lot of time here, but I just thought maybe I'd open that up for you is what you're seeing, in fact, play out.
01:55:42.740There have been moratoriums, people starting back, and they're sort of saying to themselves, hang on, we've got to wait.
01:55:47.880These township level folks are saying we've got to do a little more digging on this, which I think is a really good sign.
01:55:53.320I know President Trump says we need data centers.
01:55:55.460We need to win the fight AI against China.
01:55:58.060We obviously need to take a closer look at these things.
01:56:01.900But the way that it's happening, as fast as it's happening, I believe there's got to be making sure that we're doing the right thing here.
01:56:08.040And it's an interesting tightrope to walk.
01:56:13.420Yeah, and to me, that's the fundamental issue is we've got to make sure we're doing it the right way.
01:56:19.160And to me, candidly, because one of the problems is that the vast majority of these are not being proposed in industrial areas.
01:56:27.860They're being proposed on farmland and hundreds of acres of farmland.
01:56:32.040And then, of course, once you've got a massive facility like that in farmland, you're not going to get rid of that.
01:56:38.040But to me, one of the biggest scandals – so if a township wants to have that, then I think that they should be able to go through that process, just like what happened with Goshen.
01:56:49.220The local residents were very clear they didn't want that.
01:56:52.720And they didn't want that massive facility that had the potential to spy on the Air Force base.
01:56:59.360They didn't want that to disrupt their rural environment.
01:57:03.900And the local township said, well, we're going to do it anyway.
01:57:07.340Well, then they threw those people out.
01:57:09.600And the residents of Green Charter Township ultimately won.
01:57:13.680And I think one of the bad lessons that the Gretchen Whitmer administration took away from that was, well, we know best, and so we're going to take local control away.
01:57:24.660And so if there is a developer of a solar power plant or a wind farm or a data center and they want to put that on that farmland, they can come to Lansing and get the people she appointed to approve that.
01:59:58.540And today, with anti-Semitism rising around the world and here in our country, that calling is more urgent than ever.
02:00:03.620It doesn't mean that you have to agree with the policies of Israel or defend wars or anything else.
02:00:08.000But at a time when Jewish communities are experiencing more hostility, more threats, and more violence than ever, Christians have a powerful opportunity to respond with God's love and to say, you're not alone.
02:00:17.420When Christians choose to bless Israel, they are not entering a political issue.
02:00:21.320They're honoring the root of our faith and standing against hatred.
02:00:24.480Supporting Israel is more than just a belief.
02:00:28.020And by partnering with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, you can push back against the darkness and be a light to God's people.
02:00:34.140Learn how you can bless the people of Israel and be blessed in return.
02:00:47.420Lost a legend yesterday, Lou Holtz, former football coach, but left a legacy much bigger than that, obviously, at Notre Dame and so many other schools.
02:01:09.080Just like any other newspaper, you have front page for people who want to read the news.
02:01:14.160This is Lou doing what's called the newspaper trick when he was speaking with, I believe, a football team down in Texas.
02:01:20.860You have the comic where people can't read.
02:01:24.460And you have the editorial page where people can't say.
