Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Well, hello, America. Welcome to Thursday. It's going to be a great one. We have all of the news you
00:02:09.960
need coming up in 60 seconds. First, Eddie wrote in about his experience with the relief factor
00:02:14.500
about a year or so ago. He said, I was bent over like an old man. I could barely stand up straight.
00:02:19.700
I had really heavy back pain. The point is that I, I dreaded even going to the mailbox.
00:02:25.520
This went on for months and I was losing hope. But once I started taking relief factor within a week,
00:02:30.720
the back pain was completely gone. No more pain. Thank you for everything. I'm one happy customer.
00:02:35.660
Yesterday, somebody was, uh, um, on a, um, on the tour of the museum and I was talking to him.
00:02:42.480
They said, Hey, tell me you really take really. And I'm like, yes, I really, yes, I do what I say.
00:02:48.840
I'm doing. I say what I mean and mean what I say. Relief factor is a daily supplement that helps your
00:02:54.440
body fight the pain by fighting inflammation. And I told him it doesn't work for everybody,
00:02:58.280

800, the number four relief that's 800, the number four relief. When you feel the difference,
00:03:23.060
you know, it works. All right. I just want to go through some of the, uh, headlines today. Cause
00:03:30.160
we have a president who is absolutely on the ball, uh, and he's done everything he could for the
00:03:36.380
border and, uh, he can do no more without a special emergency powers. And I think the president
00:03:42.140
is, yes, he is wonderful. And no, you're exiting the wrong way. No, sir, turn around, turn
00:03:53.020
around. No, not towards the back of the, okay. Anyway, uh, let me just tell you the America that
00:03:59.140
we have today. Let me go through some of the, um, uh, some of the headlines today. Uh, Biden gun
00:04:06.640
rule being drafted to effectively ban private sales of all guns. That's good. Federal judge rules,
00:04:13.860
California ammunition background checks, unconstitutional. Thank God. Speaking of that,
00:04:18.660
Sotomayor has, uh, has admitted now that she's traumatized, quote, traumatized every time
00:04:25.620
conservatives win a court case. I live in frustration. Wow. That doesn't seem really
00:04:31.620
impartial there. Uh, does it? And by the way, Sotomayor, it's definitely, it was absolutely
00:04:39.340
positively, definitely not her, uh, office. That was the source of the leak of the Dobbs abortion case.
00:04:45.600
I just want to point that out. Definitely not Sotomayor's people. Uh, uh, Biden finally getting
00:04:52.520
around to visiting East Palestine, which is great. I think again, he was probably a little confused on
00:04:59.920
the palace. I love the Palestinians and, um, but, uh, what I'm, what I didn't know they had a train
00:05:07.720
accident there. Uh, he will not say, however, if he's going to drink the water in East Palestine,
00:05:14.380
a verdict in the New York, uh, civil fraud case is coming next week. I'm all a tingle. Everybody's
00:05:21.600
talking about it. We've, we've got our champagne Reddit open up when, when the judge says, yes,
00:05:27.960
yes, Donald Trump committed fraud and they give him, they go like a, I don't know, take like another
00:05:33.800
$350 million from him. Oh, I'm so excited. Let's all go shopping. Oh, wait a minute. No, I'm on the
00:05:41.420
other side. Trump's next legal challenge could be about his Chicago skyscraper. Don't worry. Don't
00:05:47.980
worry. If they can do this to the president, I'm never going to do it to you. Never, never.
00:05:56.500
Fannie Willis. Uh, meanwhile, she's great. Uh, she apparently fired the whistleblower,
00:06:02.760
uh, who blew the whistle on the misuse of federal funds. So, uh, whoops, but don't worry about it.
00:06:09.300
Nothing will happen. Business partners of Fannie Willis, uh, alleged lover bankrolled her campaign
00:06:15.540
and then she gave them lucrative contracts, but she's out doing the people's work. The, uh,
00:06:22.840
former Trump official was a shot in the district of Columbia amid a crime surge, but the DCAG said
00:06:31.240
yesterday, the district can't prosecute or arrest our way out of crime. Yeah. Or you're right.
00:06:36.980
That's never worked. Uh, no, our work. I mean, let me just say this, and I'm not advocating for
00:06:43.480
this. I actually warn against stuff like this, but there's not a lot of crime in China, you know,
00:06:50.560
there were Philippines for a while. No real drug problems. You know, all you have to do is just
00:06:56.620
execute the people, you know, not exactly an approach to advocate for. No, I'm not advocating for it,
00:07:03.580
but I'm saying you went since when can't you arrest and, uh, and, and prosecute people for crime and
00:07:11.240
it doesn't help crime go down since when isn't that the whole purpose of law enforcement? Like why do
00:07:15.940
you arrest anyone? Why is there ever, ever law enforcement at all? Correct. Meanwhile, in San
00:07:21.560
Francisco, they're now locking up dollar 99 packs of gum, dollar 99. I'm sorry. You're going to have
00:07:32.360
to wait for the man with a key to get the pack of gum. Gavin Newsom, uh, is now targeting a target
00:07:40.340
clerk because he went in and is like, Hey, why, why didn't you stop that person? I just saw him stealing.
00:07:45.180
And the clerk said, well, cause of the stupid governor, the governor said, and that got him
00:07:50.400
angry. And so now he's targeting this target person. It's too many targets in this. Um,
00:07:55.720
oh my gosh, did he say the word target? Call, get Sarah Palin into court. Wife tries to kill
00:08:02.300
husband after his ex from 60 years ago, sent a card. He was 71 years old. He had a relationship
00:08:09.440
of this girl in the 1960s to say they're a good looking group of people, uh, is kind of a little
00:08:17.020
misleading. Uh, but, uh, at 71 years old, he gets a card from a girlfriend in the night in the 1960s
00:08:25.580
and his wife tries to suffocate him with a pillow. And I think that's perfectly reasonable. And you know
00:08:30.740
what? Don't even call the police. Don't even call the police. There's nothing we can do. Uh, CNN
00:08:38.800
has now just said that the key democratic demographic is trending toward Donald Trump.
00:08:46.300
James O'Keefe. Now this is going to come as a shock, uh, has a white house official caught on
00:08:51.820
camera admitting that Biden is in mental decline. What? New York community bank corp stocks plunge 38%
00:09:04.300
reigniting fears for regional banks, but don't worry. The fed says, perfect. And they're going to
00:09:12.420
hold the interest rate steady. They're not ready to cut them yet. Maybe this summer, maybe this fall,
00:09:20.380
you know, like right before the election and the printers are going to be print. I'm sorry.
00:09:26.240
We don't print money anymore. We digitize it. Glenn, it's entirely different.
00:09:30.620
New York Times has done a study. Sit down for this one. One big reason migrants are coming in droves to
00:09:40.740
the United States. New York Times confirms now, and who saw this? They believe they can stay.
00:09:48.960
What? Nikki Haley says, Texas has the right to secede from the U.S. Governor Hochul suggests
00:09:59.660
deporting illegals who attack. Wait a minute. Hold it. It says the governor Hochul, Hochul, Hochul.
00:10:04.020
Which, which state is Hochul from? Must be a hate monger state. She wants to deport illegals. Hochul,
00:10:09.620
Hochul. Can't remember what state she's. Oh, wait a minute. Huh? Anyway, uh, she says that they should
00:10:15.940
deport the illegals that attacked cops in Times Square. If you haven't seen it, it's, you know,
00:10:21.540
it's, it's great. It's really, it's, uh, well, it ended with one of, do we have the full screen here?
00:10:27.060
There's the, there's the confrontation and just doing a beat down, kick down. Uh, these illegal
00:10:32.340
immigrants are just beating the snot out. And then let me just show the picture of one of the illegal
00:10:37.940
immigrants that were leaving. Uh, yeah. Oh, there he is. He's, um, some would say he's a bird lover.
00:10:45.940
Because on the ends of his hands, he's showing two birds and, uh, that's, that's flipping it in a
00:10:53.540
way. Yeah. Flipping the bird, uh, which is nice. Uh, democratic governor slammed for closing rec
00:10:59.800
center in black neighborhood to house illegals in Boston. Eh, don't worry about it. Chinese hackers
00:11:06.140
ready, ready to wreak havoc on U S critical infrastructure. According to our FBI director.
00:11:14.020
Okay. That sounds really bad. Uh, but the DOD is holding an event, uh, about the rise of far
00:11:24.120
right terrorism in America. It's one of their brown bag, uh, uh, you know, uh, get togethers.
00:11:29.960
They, they have these brown bag things where you just bring your brown bag. It was like, why,
00:11:34.000
why is it? Are you racist? And they're like, no, that's, that's old timey talk for, you know,
00:11:39.120
bring your lunch. And then we're just going to sit around and talk. And this time the rise
00:11:44.080
of far right terrorism, pay no attention to the quote Chinese hackers who are now ready
00:11:51.200
to wreak havoc on critical U S infrastructure. Don't worry about that one. Now, another news
00:11:58.020
that makes total sense. Five men dominate women's college volleyball. Hang on. Five men dominate
00:12:08.980
women's college volleyball game. They injure two female players. Why are the men playing in the,
00:12:16.980
Oh, that's right. Because we're protecting women. That's right. We're, we're really holding up women
00:12:23.300
and we're protecting women's rights. And that's why we have five men playing women's volleyball.
00:12:30.780
And what a surprise they won. They won. Uh, I didn't see it coming. It was, it's crazy. It's
00:12:35.680
almost the New York times should do some analysts, uh, get some analysts together and do an analysis
00:12:41.220
on what exactly happened there. I don't know. I don't know. The new state mandated tampon dispenser
00:12:48.500
in Connecticut high school, uh, in I should, this is the boys bathroom. Okay. I mean, it's not just
00:12:55.940
the, you know, the boys didn't go into the women's tampon. They have their own now. What's wrong with
00:13:03.120
you? But some hate mongers ripped it down in just 20 minutes. That's crazy. Christian private school
00:13:09.440
has now banned a mom from dropping off her kids in a car that has an ad for her only fans account.
00:13:16.180
These bigoted Christians, here's one that'll make you happy. Make you say, you know, grandpa,
00:13:23.980
I know what you fought for. I know, I know, I know you live through the depression. You warned me,
00:13:29.480
you told me things could happen, but I told you sit down, old man, you don't know what's coming.
00:13:35.380
We're the greatest generation. The new adult diaper therapy spa has now opened in New Hampshire
00:13:44.180
amid community backlash. A bigoted community. You think there's what, what, what? You don't want
00:13:53.780
to go back to be treated as a baby, as a 50 year old man and have somebody put a diaper on you and
00:13:59.560
then you go poopy in the diaper and then somebody gets to clean it up. That's great. I can't wait until
00:14:05.560
I'm 95 years old and I get to have people do that. Oh, it'll be such a sexual turn on. Baltimore
00:14:12.240
principle has, uh, there's a recording out where he said black kids can't test their way out of a
00:14:18.960
paper bag and all kinds of other horrible, horrible stuff. Well, they don't know if, uh, it was really
00:14:24.960
him. He says it was AI. I never said any of those things. It's AI. Oh, are we getting to that
00:14:32.000
conspiracy theory time that Glenn Beck talked about? Oh, I don't know. 15 years ago where
00:14:37.780
things will start to be disrupted because you won't be able to believe your eyes or your ears
00:14:41.740
because of AI and deep fakes. Oh, did you hear last week? I don't know if you saw this. They took
00:14:48.420
it down right away because it was misinformation, but they took it down right away. Uh, it was the
00:14:54.040
president apparently in an off mic moment at a speech where he, the, he didn't realize the
00:15:02.060
microphones were on and you hear the crowd in the background and he's apparently backstage and he's
00:15:06.980
like, you know what? I don't care about these Texans. I'm going to send the F-15 fighters over.
00:15:12.820
You're like F-15s. Well, it's a classic. He's sending at least the classic planes.
00:15:17.660
Uh, we'll just bomb the crap out of those Texans. Wow. He said what? No, he didn't say it.
00:15:26.080
Wow. It's weird. I think I might've said this would be the election where deep fakes would play a role.
00:15:34.680
Huh? Well, there you go. Uh, so, uh, Frontier Airlines, um, had a flyer, just a normal American.
00:15:42.140
I don't even know why this is news. Frontier Airlines flyer, 60 year old, uh, woman. She, uh,
00:15:49.380
she got up and she announced to the plane, she was on her way to Philly and she said, I gotta pee.
00:15:57.460
And then she, um, she flashed, I'm quoting, she flashed her anus and genitalia on the plane.
00:16:06.100
But that's what makes the jet setting groove. Just, I mean, it's exciting to get on a plane now,
00:16:14.040
isn't it? It's like, Whoa, where are we going to go? And the stewardesses, they're all so nice and
00:16:19.300
happy and sexy. And you're like, Whoa, this is what it's like to jet set. And then the next thing you
00:16:25.580
know, some 60 year old woman is just showing you her anus. She's like, look, it's like a cyclops with
00:16:33.180
one brown eye. And you're like, okay, this is great. But that's America today in a nutshell.
00:16:41.960
So I don't know what you people are complaining about. Seems like everything is going great today.
00:16:50.180
Now, when it comes time to sell your house and I don't know, move.
00:16:55.700
Well, I can't think of any place that you could move to that makes more sense.
00:16:58.840
And this one makes no sense at all. But anyway, it's a three ring circus to sell your house and to
00:17:05.320
buy a new house. You have the right real estate agent. And it's a lot easier that somebody who
00:17:12.480
can navigate the whole process from beginning to end, whether you're moving across the street
00:17:16.440
or across the country. What do you know about where you're buying? What do you know about the market?
00:17:24.040
I mean, if you're a real estate agent, you probably don't have a problem. But the most of us, what we
00:17:29.060
have maybe a couple of times that we buy a home. We don't we have no idea. And it's our biggest
00:17:34.360
investment. You need somebody there that is right, knows the best practices, knows the markets, knows
00:17:41.140
the bankings, the rates, everything else. Somebody at that negotiating table, make sure that you are
00:17:47.120
going to end up where you want to be. That's why I started real estate agents. I trust make sure that we
00:17:53.060
could put you in touch with that kind of agent. We only work with the best top sellers in your area.
00:18:00.820
They are people that we have vetted. They're, I think, entirely people who are fans of the show.
00:18:07.220
And that's important to me because I just don't want somebody to go, oh, my gosh, I had to take these
00:18:11.080
people who actually, they were mega people. They were people that actually believe that taxes are
00:18:20.020
too high and the government has too much control. I couldn't stand it when they said, where's the
00:18:25.900
master bedroom? Shut up. You're going to get a real estate agent that relates to you and is the
00:18:33.220
best in your area. Realestateagentsitrust.com. Realestateagentsitrust.com. 10 seconds, station ID.
00:18:49.700
You know what? I forgot to mention a couple of other things. You know, some good news. I want to
00:18:54.920
mention some good news. Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib voted against a bill. Thank goodness. We have some
00:19:03.320
common sense people. They were trying to push this bill through yesterday. Hate mongers. Any alien who
00:19:11.320
carried out, participated in, planned, financed, afforded material support to, or otherwise facilitated
00:19:19.720
any of the attacks against Israel initiated by Hamas on October 7th is inimissible in our country.
00:19:29.560
Thank goodness they were there to raise the flag and say, oh, you bigots. You bigots. You just have
00:19:37.280
a problem with people who just burned people to death, shot their children, beheaded people, and then
00:19:44.060
raped them. I mean, you haven't raped until you've raped somebody who doesn't have a head anymore.
00:19:49.720
Oh, and we don't want those people in. Well, that's, that's weird. That's weird. Uh, the act
00:19:57.500
was no immigration benefits for Hamas terrorist acts. I mean, can't we take them on a case by case
00:20:02.940
basis? You know, I mean, sometimes you, sure, sure. There might be someone who murdered a bunch of
00:20:08.740
Jews who's bad, right? But what about the ones that are like there, they might be really funny or
00:20:15.000
really, um, caring, maybe nurturing, maybe they have a special skill. What? What? I don't. Anyway.
00:20:25.560
You need to think about this, Glenn. It can't be, you can't have a blanket rule. Everyone who killed
00:20:30.980
Jews that was in Hamas can't come. Everyone. We can't find one exception. How do you find Palestinians
00:20:38.340
that, you know, I mean, you're just going to blanket, say all Palestinians that hate Jews or
00:20:42.680
want to kill them. I mean, that's a pretty big blanket. It's a pretty big blanket. By the way,
00:20:48.860
um, Joe Biden is now, uh, planning on recognizing a Palestinian state. And I think, no, no, no,
00:20:57.580
hear me out. I think to be able to get the Muslim or Arab vote in Michigan, uh, and in Minnesota,
00:21:05.460
I think, I think rewarding people who beheaded, you know, children and burn again, burn families,
00:21:13.420
uh, to death. I don't know. I think that's okay because he needs the, the Muslim and, uh,
00:21:20.720
and Arab vote in a couple of States. So for him just to recognize a two state solution, which by the
00:21:27.520
way, uh, they don't want, because they just like to behead all of the Jews. Uh, I think that's okay.
00:21:34.400
I don't think that's a betrayal. Do you? Not at all. Uh, not at all. No, not a bit, not one. Hey,
00:21:42.780
by the way, speaking about betrayals, finally, the Republicans are doing something. They have a new
00:21:52.240
tax credit package that's going through, uh, and it's great. It's for the families. I gotta, let me see
00:21:59.060
if I can find the name, uh, of this bill. Cause it is just, it's wonderful. No, seriously, it is
00:22:05.660
wonderful. And, uh, what it's going to do is going to cut taxes for families with children. Yeah.
00:22:13.360
Yeah. I mean, who doesn't love that? Right. Oh, I mean, I got a problem with it. Uh, I'm going
00:22:23.140
to show you what the Republicans have done today along with the Democrats. It's a very bipartisan
00:22:30.000
bill. So, you know, it's, you know, it's fair and balanced. It's fair and balanced. I'll give

Yeah. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. You know, what is the thing that you really want to happen
00:24:21.760
in Washington? Right? What is the thing that you're just clamoring for? I know I have been looking for
00:24:29.740
more tax credits, you know, for a large corporation, you know, or for really anybody, just, just more tax
00:24:36.120
credits. Um, and especially the tax credits that could, you know, open up the tax world and the
00:24:44.340
welfare state to illegals, you know, and that, and the giant, giant corporations, cause I'm a big fan of
00:24:51.940
corporate welfare. I just, I just think these corporations, they've done so much for humanity,
00:24:57.760
uh, and they just are paying way too much in taxes, even though it's usually zero. Uh, can we
00:25:04.060
give them some money on the taxes that maybe they didn't pay, you know, or can we give our people
00:25:13.320
that are not working, choosing not to work, uh, not, not even really kind of make it an effort,
00:25:19.260
you know, um, is there any way we can give some of my tax money to them? Because I feel all of the,
00:25:29.500
all of the things this country is doing, you know, like giving money to Ukraine, uh, giving money to
00:25:36.340
Planned Parenthood, uh, you know, using my tax dollars for that just great justice system, which
00:25:43.100
is putting, you know, people who are praying in jail and then saying, you know, we can't, we can't jail
00:25:48.960
our way out of crime in DC. I just feel like my tax dollars are in such a safe hands. I'd like to pay
00:25:57.900
more, quite honestly. Um, the new, uh, bill that, you know, flew through Congress yesterday was a bill
00:26:06.280
that was sitting on the shelf and they said, you know, just a few days ago, if you would have asked
00:26:10.040
anybody, they were like, Oh no, that's a dead bill. That's not going to happen. But somehow or
00:26:13.880
another, somebody, I don't know if it's Dobie the elf that comes in and he's like, Mr. Potter,
00:26:20.020
we got this bill. Uh, and they were like, Oh my gosh, this is such a great bill. The Republicans
00:26:25.720
and the Democrats got together and, uh, did this. Now in the house, there were what? 70 Republicans,
00:26:33.000
70 total votes against it. Oh, 70 total votes, 43, 47 Republicans, 23 Democrats.
00:26:39.520
Ah, okay. Democrats seem to be of the far left variety. Uh, the AOCs of the world,
00:26:44.720
Cory Bushes of the world. The Republicans is a kind of an odd mix. I would say some of the people
00:26:50.600
you'd say maybe are like, you know, Matt Gaetz and such, uh, on that. Massey. Um, Massey is against
00:26:57.960
it. Yeah. Um, uh, but then it's not all, it's like a Chip Roy was against it. Yeah. Um, but again,
00:27:05.800
it's a hodgepodge. They're not all, I wouldn't say it doesn't look like a, a pure ideological set
00:27:10.680
of Republicans. Well, I have to tell you anybody who could give more of my money away and your
00:27:17.020
money away, you know, the people who get up every day and they're just like, we pay our taxes. We
00:27:21.460
live our lives. Right. And you feel like you're getting squashed. Anytime we can take any of that
00:27:27.620
money that honestly, none of us even miss, uh, if we can give it right to like two, again,
00:27:34.800
illegal aliens, I'm for it. I'm just, I don't know. Call me, call me a hero, call me a hero.
00:27:41.840
Um, but I'm just for, uh, you know, making people who are working hard poorer and people who are
00:27:49.980
coming in for a free lunch richer. Now this would be the exact opposite sell they would make for this
00:27:54.740
bill. They're saying, Oh, I know it is. I know it is. It's me. It's actually helping working
00:27:58.340
families. That's the whole point of it. Right. Right. That's what they would say. Well, you know,
00:28:03.900
what is the definition of welfare? Um, let me give you that. Uh, welfare,
00:28:11.780
commonly social welfare. Uh, it's a type of government support intended to ensure that
00:28:16.560
members of society can meet basic human needs such as food and shelter. Wow. Food and shelter.
00:28:23.260
Wow. That is great. Okay. Now who generally gets welfare? Taxpayers? Uh, generally no. Yeah.
00:28:31.480
Generally no. Because if you were a taxpayer, typically you, you, you'd be earning enough
00:28:35.640
to not be on welfare. Yeah. Or, you know, some people are just right at the, at the line
00:28:41.600
and they'll get a tax break. Um, but wait, wait a minute. Hang on just a second. You get a tax
00:28:46.560
break, but if you haven't paid taxes. So if you pay taxes and you're like, okay, you know what?
00:28:54.480
You're at the bottom of the line. You pay zero this year. That's not welfare. You pay taxes and
00:29:01.320
you, they say you, you only, you pay zero this year, but we're also giving you $2,000 a month.
00:29:07.900
Then that's, that's welfare. You know, you see what I'm saying? You can't, the government
00:29:13.300
can take you to zero. They can take you to zero, but you can't call it a tax cut when
00:29:20.960
you're already at zero. For instance, illegal aliens. Yeah. But I'm here with the good news
00:29:26.880
is none of these people are here with families. Um, but, uh, or filing taxes. Yeah. Uh, but
00:29:32.420
if you've got a family, you're here illegally and you're not paying taxes, I can't give you
00:29:38.160
a tax break because you haven't paid taxes. So that's a problem. And you know, I really
00:29:46.180
love, there was a couple of things in here that I think are overlooked that I, I think
00:29:50.600
everybody understands. I don't know why you would overlook them. Uh, for instance, uh, we've
00:29:56.440
just given a, uh, a tax break, uh, to the people in Taiwan, which I didn't, did you, huh? I
00:30:07.260
didn't even know. I mean, I just thought it was Americans that were paying tax, but no,
00:30:12.040
no, we're going to give a, uh, a tax break, uh, to, uh, to Taiwanese corporations, which I
00:30:19.860
think is what you had in mind. Does anybody feel like maybe they're not listening to you?
00:30:26.440
Have you had that feel? I know it's crazy. I'm way out on the limb here. I'm probably
00:30:31.720
by myself, but has anybody thought, I, I'm not for any of this stuff. Um, you know, the
00:30:39.100
war in Ukraine. No, no, not, no, uh, no, I, I don't really want to send my kids off to
00:30:44.640
war. Another long, uh, endless war. Uh, I'm not, I'm, I'm not for giving, you know, more
00:30:52.660
money than we gave to all of Europe for the Marshall plan. Uh, you know, um, income adjusted,
00:31:00.200
I mean, you know, inflation adjusted. So it's, I mean, we're comparing apples to apples. We're
00:31:05.080
giving Ukraine more money than we gave all of Europe to rebuild all of Europe. I'm not for that.
00:31:13.640
I'm not. Okay. Vladimir. Yeah. I mean, sure. You're not for it. I'm really not for the $6
00:31:19.500
billion to Iran. I'm also not really for bombing Iran at this point. Uh, I wasn't for, you know,
00:31:27.600
I was for getting out of Afghanistan, but not leaving our airport and all of our equipment
00:31:33.920
behind. And then, and then also putting the Taliban in charge. I thought that's what, I mean,
00:31:39.500
they didn't consult me, but I'm sure you feel your representative has consulted you because I've
00:31:46.200
been, been big on this. Hey, no one should eat any meat thing. We should all eat bugs. And thank
00:31:52.520
goodness. They're all representing all of us on that one. Right? Oh no, wait. I was against that
00:31:57.880
one too. Who are these people? Who is actually making the decisions? Because there are a few people
00:32:04.540
and we see it here, 70. And I don't know the reasons for all 70. So let's bring it down to,
00:32:10.280
I don't know, five who actually are using their bean upstairs. And they're like, whoa,
00:32:18.180
wait a minute. That doesn't make sense. Yeah. The, the, the democratic opposition to it seems to be
00:32:22.960
that it's not big enough. Right. Like the AOC is saying, what do you mean? You're only expanding it by
00:32:28.020
this much. Right. Right. And we should listen to them because they were also the ones that said,
00:32:32.060
hey, we, we shouldn't say that you can't come into the United States if you helped behead people
00:32:36.740
in, on, on August 7th, you know, or October 7th or October 7th. Yeah. One of the sevens. Yeah.
00:32:42.420
So, um, you know, I think that's, I think we should listen to them. I just, you know,
00:32:48.300
the whole taxation without representation thing, they don't seem to be asking us anymore or having
00:32:55.240
our representatives debate anything anymore. So when we hire a representative, you know,
00:33:02.340
if they stay true and just aren't so prone to corruption, uh, bribes, or they've got skeletons
00:33:10.740
in their closet. So they're now under blackmail, uh, or just aren't obsessed with power. Those,
00:33:16.760
let's say five that still hold true to the American values, uh, I think the rest of them
00:33:25.480
are representing somebody else, but the American people, you know, I'm just, well, let me give
00:33:32.460
you that. I mean, this is a crazy example, but Ilan Omar, uh, she's saying my job and, uh, is
00:33:40.000
to protect Somalia. No, that's, that's, that's not your job. In fact, it's not the job of anyone
00:33:46.100
who is voting for you thinking that is your job. Uh, you know, she took an oath to be an American
00:33:53.540
citizen. Not everybody has done that. That's why they don't vote or aren't supposed to vote.
00:33:58.280
Um, but she did. And, uh, I hereby declare on oath that I absolutely and entirely renounce
00:34:05.160
and abjure, I don't even know what that means, uh, all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince,
00:34:12.340
state sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or a citizen.
00:34:19.940
And I will support and defend. So when you take that oath, you're supposed to say, I'm not
00:34:26.500
working for, or have any allegiance to that other country. Don't have it. Um, and yet she's saying
00:34:34.580
that's why she's in Congress, uh, to help a foreign government. And I'm just thinking again,
00:34:41.380
I don't think she's representing the United States of America. Uh, she, I mean, she is representing
00:34:48.380
her constituents, but, um, a lot of them probably are not Americans or they misunderstood the oath
00:34:55.240
they took. You know, you can't, um, you can't keep doing this to a country. You can't. Uh,
00:35:04.120
otherwise, you know, next thing, you know, this is crazy. Next thing, you know, they're in San
00:35:07.880
Francisco, they're locking up $1.66, uh, gum and you got to wait for the key to come to the front
00:35:13.680
of the store to open up that cabinet so you can get gum. So I'm just, I'm just, you know, one other
00:35:23.420
thing that kind of is bothering me just a little bit, um, is this Elon Musk thing now count, you
00:35:29.400
know, color me, color me thrilled that, uh, a judge is now overturning what a corporation board of
00:35:37.260
directors and the shareholders voted by 70%. They voted in, you know, the CEO's, uh, salary and they
00:35:46.640
made a, uh, and everybody on TV, every, everybody was saying, Oh my gosh, well, he'll never get that
00:35:53.140
money. Cause, uh, that's crazy. That would, that would, that would make Tesla bigger than Toyota.
00:35:59.420
If he did that, that was five years ago. Now he did that and he's ready for his payday and a judge
00:36:05.700
has come in to say, yeah, that that's not really fair. That's not that he shouldn't get that. Now,
00:36:11.520
if I were Elon Musk, I'd say to you, um, what would you say? I would, what would you say in this
00:36:20.280
audio format that we do? I would say, cause you made a hand gesture, which is not as effective
00:36:25.360
on the radio. It was more of an arm gesture. It was an arm gesture. Um, but I, it was not quite
00:36:30.780
exactly what the illegal immigrant was doing to the cameras in our previous story. I think if we were
00:36:36.120
on, you know, the newlywed game or, you know, password or whatever those shows were, if I said
00:36:42.260
blank you, I think, you'd know what it was, but, uh, but I digress. Um, I, uh, I, I, again,
00:36:52.160
don't worry about it. It's just the government coming in, in a very fascistic way, but Donald
00:36:58.780
Trump's the fascist coming in, in a very fascistic way and saying, Hey, they didn't mean what they
00:37:06.000
thought they meant. Um, and, uh, and even if they didn't mean that, I think it's a little,
00:37:11.220
a little cray cray to give him all of that money. Cause who knows that kind of money?
00:37:17.700
Oh, I don't know. Uh, maybe the guy who built the company, the guy whose vision it was,
00:37:26.380
I hate to point out that that is the American way. Uh, but, uh, don't worry. He's just the guy
00:37:34.720
who has done more for the green movement. Uh, but he's taking us into space again. Uh, he'll be
00:37:41.740
the guy who goes to Mars. Don't worry. Don't worry. We're just taking the Nikolai Tesla of today
00:37:48.980
and treating him like the Nikolai Tesla of the past, throwing him under the bus. Yeah. Don't worry.
00:37:56.300
That's the American way. I think now. Oh, people, we wouldn't have all these problems with people.
00:38:06.440
If there just weren't so many people, uh, I should join the W E F. No, instead I'm going to go the
00:38:14.200
other way. Hey, pre-born. I want to talk to you about pre-born abortion, uh, has been the world's
00:38:20.120
leading cause of death. Now, five years running. Think of that. That's the leading cause. In fact,
00:38:30.900
the total is greater than the number attributed to the next seven causes of death.
00:38:39.940
Before I even get to end this commercial, two babies in the United States alone will have been
00:38:44.080
aborted. And I'm about 40 seconds away from finishing the commercial. If you have the means,
00:38:50.820
could you help pre-born rescue 280,000 babies from abortion already?
00:38:57.920
Every day that number increases about, by about 200. When a woman's considering abortion,
00:39:03.140
she hears the baby's heartbeat, sees the precious little face on the ultrasound.
00:39:07.040
The chance that baby's, uh, life is going to be saved or the mom will change her mind is doubled.
00:39:12.180
Then pre-born steps in and says, we know you're alone. We're going to help you for the next two
00:39:17.240
years. We'll help you. We're there for you. If you have the means, would you consider a leadership

00:42:13.760
rappers in the world. He is. You ready? I tie iTunes worldwide iTunes chart. The number one song
00:42:23.140
in the world on the iTunes, uh, chart. What is happening is Tom McDonald and, uh, Ben Shapiro's
00:42:30.780
facts. I mean, if you thought you understood America and the world, you thought it was upside
00:42:37.280
down. Ben Shapiro doing a rap number one song in the world, obviously as everyone predicted
00:42:46.380
at the beginning of the year, you know, it was like the year that he's going to finally break
00:42:50.720
through a rap. Yeah. He's next. The Glenn Beck program.
00:43:21.580
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:43:41.640
If you happen to be watching, uh, today on the blaze, you'll see that I'm in my, in my hoodie,
00:43:47.280
you know, cause I'm one with a street and, uh, it's the, uh, STF logo, which is sick, twisted freak,
00:43:55.040
which is of course my rap label. Everybody knows about it. Everybody's been talking about it. And,
00:44:00.900
uh, who comes in somebody who's claims to hate rap more than me, uh, which I don't think is possible.
00:44:08.320
And he's now number one in the world, you know, not, not just for rap for all music. Number one
00:44:15.600
on iTunes in the world, a guy who is, is not down with the streets like I am, but I'll call him,
00:44:25.180
you know, my homie, like I called Patrick, you know, when we're hanging out together in the,
00:44:30.760
in the neighborhood, I like to call it the hood. Um, but, uh, my homes, Ben Shapiro in 60 seconds.
00:44:39.420
Imagine if you had the opportunity to save tens of thousands of dollars over the course of say,
00:44:43.160
you know, your mortgage, think about that for a second. What could you do with that extra money?

What would you do with it? There's not much of a question. Uh, it would make some things a little
00:44:52.900
better, wouldn't it? You could be paying off high interest debts, like the kind you get from

00:46:08.660
program, Ben. How are you? Yo, yo, yo. What's up, Holmes? Hey, I would respond, but I'm a little
00:46:15.560
uncomfortable. How are you doing, man? You know, it's been a journey. It's been a journey. There have
00:46:24.280
been so many iterations of my art over time. Yeah. From playing classical violin now to this. And
00:46:30.500
I, there, there's just so many genres I've yet to explore. I can't wait to explore all of them.
00:46:36.940
What are you going to do next? Uh, heavy metal. Really? See, while you're, while you're dabbling
00:46:43.700
in this kind of stuff, I'm learning new languages. I, I'm learning currently,
00:46:48.020
which is like rap legend, Ben Shapiro. I just said that. And the people who speak that language
00:46:57.080
know it, but anyway, uh, some of us are amazing. Listen, it's just a, it's a testament to the magic
00:47:03.340
of my magnetic personality, my insane levels of riz, as they say, as the kids say, you know,
00:47:10.220
everyone, everyone can't get off the rap train. Now it's a station. Right. And we will not be,
00:47:16.400
we will not be denied that number one status on billboard. Number one, even billboard is now
00:47:20.920
admitting, by the way, that we're probably going to make the digital song downloads number one this
00:47:25.940
week, uh, just in time for the Grammys. So I can only hope that next year we get inspiration for a
00:47:35.480
Superbowl halftime show. Oh, that is so funny. Will you be showing your nipples on that? If you do,
00:47:42.040
uh, get into the halftime show, I'm going to go no on that. Okay. I think
00:47:46.340
something has to be left to the imagination. That's really the message. Yeah. So I'm,
00:47:52.480
I'm wearing my, uh, I'm wearing my hoodie today. Cause you know, you were wearing your hoodie in
00:47:56.860
the video and, uh, uh, and you, and you look good, whatever I see you in a, you, you look,
00:48:01.700
you pull it. I put the hoodie on and I either look like Kenny or I look like the emperor, uh,
00:48:10.780
from star Wars. I cannot make it. I don't, it's strange, but I can't make it cool. Ben,
00:48:16.560
it's very strange. Um, yeah, well, you know, I didn't know that I could do it either. So the way
00:48:21.520
that happened is that we were, we were just filming that, that portion of the wrap and I
00:48:25.000
looked around and I was dressed as I normally do as a dork. And, uh, and I said, do we have a hoodie
00:48:30.560
in the office? And like, actually we do somewhere in the back here, we have like a fact hoodie that
00:48:34.280
we once marketed and I was like, bring it out. And, uh, and that said that of, of drip that is,
00:48:41.620
that is possible on planet earth right now. We have sold more of those hoodies and it's basically
00:48:46.240
funding my entire, my entire mortgage at this point. Uh, hang on just a sec. Let's play a
00:49:04.280
So funny. So funny. The pure, the, the, the joy that my art brings to others is really the reason
00:49:14.300
I'm in the game. Uh, so Ben, let's change the subject here for a second. What is the biggest
00:49:21.200
threat to our country right now? Um, I think the biggest threat to our country is that there's a
00:49:28.700
widespread conspiracy theory that's held on virtually every side of the aisle, which is that success in
00:49:33.760
a, in a free market, free system is somehow emblematic of exploitation. You see it mostly
00:49:40.060
on the left is basically what DEI is, is the theory that the powerful in society control everyone else
00:49:45.680
and that you can tell who the powerful are by their, by their success. And then you can group
00:49:49.420
them by race. And so DEI basically says that if you're a white male, you're on the top of the power
00:49:53.160
hierarchy, you're unfairly exploiting others. And therefore you need to be brought low.
00:49:57.120
That tends to cross streams with, with antisemitism, obviously, because once you start talking about
00:50:02.020
groups that are disproportionately successful in the United States, you get into Asians,
00:50:05.520
you get into Jews, it gets into really ugly territory. But I also see some elements of this
00:50:09.580
on, on sort of the far right, this idea that everything is conspiracy. Everything is a group
00:50:13.820
of elites who are seeking to keep you under, under the boot. And success is therefore belonging to this
00:50:21.520
elite cadre of people. Now that doesn't mean there aren't institutions that aren't run by people who
00:50:25.920
really do have your worst interests at heart. I mean, the media are run by people who do not agree
00:50:29.980
with your vision of America, the universities. But we're talking just broadly speaking,
00:50:34.060
the implication that success is unachievable in a free market society or in a free speech society,
00:50:40.560
that is enervating to the American public. It leads us to see each other as enemies. It's really
00:50:44.980
ugly. It's destroying us domestically. I think it's destroying us in terms of foreign policy as well.
00:50:48.860
So it's that sort of, it's that ideology, I think.
00:50:52.300
So I tell you, I don't know exactly what you're pulling from. There's a couple of things,
00:50:56.560
like this, this horrible ruling, I think, about Elon Musk and the attacks on Elon Musk. They're
00:51:03.160
trying to destroy him, but that's because he doesn't agree with policy. I have no problem with
00:51:07.460
people making money and being successful. My problem is with the elites that are, it's not a
00:51:14.180
conspiracy. We know who they are. The World Economic Forum and all of the leaders around the world that
00:51:20.680
are saying things like, we got to ban meat. We have to, you know, we have to take control of
00:51:28.080
private property and we have to do public-private partnerships. I mean, those people, that's not a
00:51:34.880
No, I agree with that. And so that's why I was distinguishing between institutions that are
00:51:38.640
absolutely doing that and they're saying it openly. I distinguish between sort of the conspiracy
00:51:43.040
theories and the actual just people who are saying the thing. The WF is not hiding the ball.
00:51:47.580
They're saying exactly what they want to do and they're doing it out loud and they say that they
00:51:50.900
control certain businesses, they control government. And again, they're doing it right out in the open.
00:51:55.180
That's why it's always weird to me when people say that the right is so focused on this WF
00:51:58.740
conspiracies. It's like, that's not a conspiracy when you just say the thing. But that's a little
00:52:03.660
bit different than a sort of, I think, internalized sense that we're getting from a lot of Americans on
00:52:09.680
all sides of the political aisle that success is not possible in the United States, which I don't think
00:52:14.340
is reality. I think success is possible. I think there can be institutional obstacles to that
00:52:18.600
success that are largely discriminatory. But again, this is an amazing country. And I think
00:52:24.720
that it's worthwhile for us to remember just how amazing this country was. What makes it amazing
00:52:28.220
is the fact that we have a shared set, or we used to at least have a shared set of Judeo-Christian
00:52:33.040
values and free market principles that have created the largest commercial republic in the history of
00:52:38.840
mankind, most powerful military in the history of mankind, and the most powerful spreader of
00:52:44.300
morality and decency in the history of mankind. We are all part of that project. There are obstacles
00:52:49.800
to that project, but those are not insuperable. And I think telling people that they will lose,
00:52:55.120
that whatever is the next thing that happens politically will cause them to be cast into
00:52:59.220
the outer darkness forever. I'm not a big fan of catastrophism in this country. I don't think that
00:53:04.860
when we say that the next election is the last election, I don't believe that. I think it's really,
00:53:08.460
really important. But I think it's also more important to build up from the local level. And
00:53:11.780
I prefer that we all start to focus on that, as opposed to sort of the catastrophic thinking
00:53:17.300
that if the next election doesn't go the way we want, then civil war is going to break out or
00:53:21.900
something. Now, I mean, as America's leading catastrophist, I do feel like that was a little
00:53:34.240
I don't mean it to be. I mean, it really is not about it. It really is not about, you know,
00:53:38.940
the idea that that there aren't serious threats lurking around the corner. But I think that it's
00:53:43.520
easy and not not just lurking like here. I mean, we're living in a country where a significant
00:53:48.400
percent of the population doesn't know the difference between male and female. I mean,
00:53:51.440
that's a serious crisis that is present right in front of us. We're in a country where, again,
00:53:56.080
a significant percentage of the population believes that free market capitalism is actually evil
00:54:00.080
and wrong. It needs to be curbed. That's a serious crisis right in front of us. I guess the point
00:54:04.060
that I'm making is that in our personal lives, in our daily interactions, the things that we should
00:54:07.960
be focused on are what can bring us success. And I think that we can we can fight the crises that
00:54:13.580
are political at the same time that we build success from the local level. And what I'd prefer
00:54:18.160
conservatives to do is do both at the same time. We can walk and we can chew gum. And I think
00:54:22.240
there's been a lot of focus that's been poured into, you know, the crises that face us. And yeah,
00:54:27.240
those are crises that we have to fight because otherwise we won't be able to do the things on
00:54:30.540
a personal level we want to do. But, you know, what I'm seeing right now is people feeling
00:54:34.660
enervated about things like getting married, people feeling enervated about things like
00:54:38.720
getting a job or if I work hard, will I succeed? And we have to keep saying to people over and over
00:54:44.640
that if you work hard, you will succeed. And we are going to make sure that nobody stops you from
00:54:47.980
succeeding if you work hard and make the right decisions. Okay. I understand. I understand what
00:54:51.760
you're saying there. I'm surprised that you picked that. I'm glad you did because I hadn't thought of it
00:54:56.960
the way you're thinking. But I would say most people right now would say biggest thing that
00:55:02.860
is the biggest problem we have to address quickly is the border. Yes. I mean, on a political level,
00:55:08.580
absolutely the border. On a political level, 100% the border. You know, when we're talking about
00:55:12.360
the crises that face us right now, I think this is the crisis that's going to define not just this
00:55:16.420
year, but maybe this generation, not just on America's southern border, but all over the world,
00:55:21.200
this mass migration of peoples from areas that are not particularly friendly to Western values
00:55:26.120
into places in the West is obviously breaking politics in Europe. But in the United States,
00:55:31.060
this idea that we can have an open border that is being openly pursued by Joe Biden. I mean,
00:55:35.100
there's just no question that Joe Biden has crafted the policy that is specifically designed to keep
00:55:39.660
our borders open. I was just down on the border and I was talking with Brandon Judd, who's head of
00:55:43.800
the Border Patrol Union, and he was showing me the border. I mean, we went 25 miles without seeing a
00:55:48.940
single border patrol agent. And that was in an area that did not have border gate. I mean,
00:55:53.400
that did not have border wall. That was on a Native American reservation in Arizona.
00:55:56.880
And I mean, that place is so unoccupied by border patrol. When we sat there at night,
00:56:01.420
and we looked out the window of the car, there's a drone flying over us monitoring us. I assumed that
00:56:05.320
it was an American drone. It was not. It was a Mexican drug cartel drone that was monitoring our
00:56:08.920
car because, and it was on American territory. And I asked the border patrol agent, why don't you
00:56:13.120
shoot it down? He said, we would have to get direct commission from Alejandro Mayorkas directly
00:56:16.620
to shoot that down. So it's not to create an international incident on the border. So the border,
00:56:21.580
the drug cartels are in control of the border. They're playing this game that is fully taking
00:56:25.740
advantage of what Joe Biden is doing. So to understand what Biden has done, the basic
00:56:29.200
answer is, Joe Biden has now declared that if you say the magic words with regard to asylum,
00:56:34.560
you will be allowed into the country. Not only that, Border Patrol's first duty is to take you
00:56:39.460
at the border and to process you and release you into the interior of the United States. So what the
00:56:44.360
drug cartels are doing is they will literally drive up in a truck yards from the border,
00:56:48.860
unload a bunch of illegal immigrants. These illegal immigrants will literally walk across the border
00:56:52.840
where we were. There was a sign with a button on it. And if you push the button, it says push for
00:56:57.340
border patrol help, like they're bellboys. And you would, and you push the button, the border patrol
00:57:02.240
all rushes over to do what Joe Biden wants them to do, which is busing an administrative duty.
00:57:05.520
That leaves the border wide open for the actual scary people, because there are two groups of people,
00:57:09.820
right? There are people who shouldn't be in here because they don't actually have legal asylum
00:57:12.800
claims. They may be on the welfare system, but they're not necessarily, you know, people who are
00:57:16.760
seeking to do violent crime or smuggle drugs or something. And the drug cartels make money from
00:57:20.720
from coyoteing them up, obviously. But the drug cartels are making the real money from smuggling
00:57:26.160
fentanyl over the border, from smuggling people with criminal records over the border, terrorists
00:57:29.780
over the border. And Joe Biden is leaving those swaths of the border completely unoccupied so that he
00:57:35.000
can process more people who are claiming asylum. I mean, it's not a shock that the criminals who just
00:57:39.720
beat up the cops in New York the other day, they were claiming asylum. I mean, that's literally what
00:57:43.440
they said. They said, we are here, we are claiming asylum. They don't have a legit asylum claim. And
00:57:47.000
that is purely on Joe Biden, because under Donald Trump, we had a remain in Mexico policy, which was
00:57:51.340
if you arrived at the border and said, I claim asylum, we'd say, great, now you wait in Mexico.
00:57:55.580
And then we'll adjudicate your case. And then their case would be adjudicated. They wouldn't have an
00:57:59.340
asylum claim, and they would have to go back home. Well, that's a pretty good incentive not to show up
00:58:02.600
at our southern border. Joe Biden has done precisely the reverse. Ben, obviously, is with the Daily Wire,
00:58:08.400
and he's got a new documentary out about his trip to the border and shows you all of these
00:58:14.320
things. And you can watch it on the Daily Wire if you are like me, and you are a member of the Daily
00:58:22.120
Wire. Ben, as always, great to talk to you. I appreciate talking to you and keep the spark alive

You know, I'm a, I'm a little upset, not at Ben. I love Ben, but I'm a little upset at Tom McDonald,
01:01:01.980
who's been on this program before. And, uh, he's the, you know, he's the weight behind the,
01:01:07.500
the Ben Shapiro. And speaking of weight, who's better on weight than me? Really? Honestly.
01:01:12.220
You mean higher? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Higher. And I'm thinking to myself, you know,
01:01:18.620
Ben, you really missed the boat here. Uh, Tom, by going, by going with Ben, and Ben's great and
01:01:25.960
everything, but you missed the legend, okay, that I am. I mean, I, I have been doing rap for,
01:01:33.640
well, forever, honestly. Since the Sugar Hill Gang. Yeah. Yeah. I go all the way.
01:01:38.440
Did you precede the Sugar Hill Gang? Uh, no, I, I was right there with the Sugar Hill Gang. You know,
01:01:44.100
I, I, my own interpretation of rap, which, uh. Tom McDonald and Ben Shapiro. Facts.
01:01:57.300
Let's look at the stats. I've got the facts. My money, like Lizzo. My pockets are fat.
01:02:09.380
Homie, I'm epic. Don't be a wap. Dog. It's a yarmulke, homie. No cap. Look at the graphs. Look at my
01:02:18.780
charts. You're blowing money on strippers and cars. Which really doesn't work. You're going to go to
01:02:25.120
prison. And I'm on television. Dog, no one knows who you are. Keep hating on me on the internet. My
01:02:32.940

parents. Nikki, take some notes. I just did this for fun. All my people download this. Let's get a
01:02:49.340
billboard number one. I mean, Tom, you could have had it. You could have had it all. You could have
01:02:56.440
had all that talent. Gosh, what a missed opportunity there. Missed opportunity. Yeah. I mean, sure,
01:03:00.220
you're number one worldwide, but still, what could you have been? You know, what could you have been?
01:03:06.540
What's this song doing in other galaxies? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Zilch. Nothing. Not one download.
01:03:11.620
And, uh, you know, and I know, universal rights are all the rage now. Why? Just nobody's broken that
01:03:17.600
barrier yet. You know, what, what, what rap songs are selling on Pluto? I don't know. You don't know.
01:03:23.800
Uh, but it could have been your song. Your song. So. Devastating. Devastating. Devastating.
01:03:30.380
Missed opportunity there. Yeah. Yeah. That's a fascinating, uh, cultural. We're in a fascinating
01:03:35.280
cultural moment, aren't we? Well, you know, nobody really, uh, nobody really notices on the left.
01:03:42.500
Maybe they do. You know, you don't hype your way to number one. That has to be kind of a movement.
01:03:51.820
You know, it's hard to do. That's for sure. It has to be a lot of people. Uh, and, uh, and gosh,
01:03:57.580
darn it. You would think that maybe somebody would go, wow, that's a, that's a, that's a lot of people
01:04:02.100
that might disagree with us. You know, it's a, I mean, this is a political song. Uh, it might be
01:04:07.840
worldwide. Hmm. Might, might, might mean something. Maybe we should take note. Lots of people disagree
01:04:16.080
with us. Maybe we should not jam everything down their throats. Uh, maybe listen to them
01:04:22.360
or round them up. I don't know. I mean, one of the two, you decide.
01:04:29.840
Glenn Beck. Lights are out. House is quiet. Everybody's tucked neatly into their beds,
01:04:35.520
peacefully dreaming as their bodies get the rest they need, except for you.
01:04:41.640
If this situation sounds familiar, I, I bet you really wish it wasn't. There's nothing more
01:04:46.960
frustrating than having to go through your day all blurry eyed from a lack of sleep the night before.
01:04:51.540
I don't always have troubles sleeping. Sometimes I do, but on the nights when I do,
01:04:56.440
I reach for a relief factor sleep. You know what happens? I sleep. And then the next day I wake up
01:05:03.440
feeling refreshed. It's crazy. Just like the regular relief factor that you take for pain,
01:05:08.500
relief factor sleep is a hundred percent drug free with its blend of natural ingredients. It's
01:05:12.800
designed to promote healthy sleep by reducing anxiety and distress, improving mood and promoting
01:05:18.020
relaxation. I know from experience it works. It's relief factor sleep. Unleash the power of great
01:05:24.600
sleep by calling 800, the number four relief. That's 800 for relief, or you can get it at
01:05:32.120
relieffactor.com. That's relieffactor sleep at relieffactor.com. Drink big and sleep tight.
01:05:40.940
You too can own Glenn Beck's cool wrap hoodie. Actually, it's just a nice hoodie. You can get it
01:05:45.580
at glennbeckmerch.com. glennbeckmerch.com. Look as cool as Glenn Beck.
01:05:51.080
Well, now let's not exaggerate. We have, I think one of the most shocking stories of the week,
01:06:09.180
and there's a lot of them, was the story of the pro-life advocates that were convicted for the
01:06:16.120
face act violation. I've seen the video. They're, they're not, they're not taunting. They're not
01:06:22.320
stopping anyone. In fact, police went and investigated this because the abortion clinic
01:06:27.440
said, they are harassing. Police came, there was no charges made. Then the Biden administration
01:06:33.680
finds out about it and charges them for a violation of the face act for peacefully protesting outside of
01:06:42.580
an abortion facility. And, uh, this week, a, a jury in Tennessee, uh, convicted them. They're all
01:06:52.560
getting 10 plus years, or that's what they're being told at this point. Thomas Moore society is, uh, one
01:06:59.680
of the, one of the groups that's really behind them and been helping them out legally. Um, Steve
01:07:04.820
Crampton is on and then Paul Vaughn, he's a pro-life activist. He's just been convicted, uh, and is
01:07:12.480
possibly going to prison for a very long time. First of all, let me start with you, Paul. How are you
01:07:17.520
feeling? Oh, Glenn, we're doing great. You know, there's a, there's no losing when you're a Christian.
01:07:24.800
They can persecute you and they can beat you, but, but Christ is still Christ. He's still on the throne.
01:07:29.120
I so admire what, because I knew that's how you were going to answer. Um, because I, I heard you
01:07:37.340
guys after, um, and you're singing praise and, uh, you are the kind of Christian, uh, that I want to
01:07:46.860
be and hope to be if I would ever be in your situation. That is hard. You're facing, how old are
01:07:53.660
you, Paul? Um, 56. You're 56. You could be 66 by the time you get out of prison. Um, it's a remarkable
01:08:03.840
thing, and this is why they have to shut Christians down, because they stand up, they have a spine,
01:08:09.940
and they take it because that's what Christ did. It's amazing. You bet. Uh, Steve. Steve is the, uh,
01:08:18.420
counsel for Thomas Moore Society. You guys represented them, and you guys are really good at these. Uh,
01:08:25.640
how shocked were you were, were you at this case? Glenn, it was a great shock. Uh, as you pointed
01:08:33.640
out, we're in the middle of, uh, the so-called Bible Belt in Nashville, Tennessee, uh, a jury genuinely
01:08:40.880
of our peers, and yet, uh, they didn't take very long under the instructions as the court, uh, gave
01:08:49.500
them to find everybody guilty. I mean, our client, Paul Vaughn in particular, here's what he did. He
01:08:57.620
went back and forth helping the police as a messenger, carrying their instructions and requests to the
01:09:05.340
pro-life group that was down close to the clinic door, and then vice versa. He's bringing the, uh,
01:09:12.220
pro-lifers responses back to the police. The police described him as definitely helpful, and yet here
01:09:19.700
he is convicted of, uh, conspiracy to violate civil rights, which in itself is a joke, because the civil
01:09:27.420
rights that are being violated are the rights of these defendants, not the rights of the, uh, abortion
01:09:32.800
clinic workers, as well as the face violation. So it's truly outrageous. Explain face exactly what
01:09:40.520
you have to do to be in violation. Yeah, face is the, uh, Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act
01:09:48.980
passed during the Clinton administration back in 1994, in the day you may recall when Operation Rescue
01:09:56.900
was at its zenith, and Christians all across the country were peacefully coming to the clinics
01:10:04.080
and sitting in front of the door. It was a sit-in, and they were only being, uh, charged with criminal
01:10:10.500
trespass kind of stuff, would go and spend a couple hours in jail and go home. And, uh, Congress, in its
01:10:16.960
wisdom, decided that just wasn't enough punishment. So they enact this federal law that imposes a minimum
01:10:24.140
of a six-month prison term and statutory fines and so forth. Uh, and then you, you come fast forward
01:10:32.780
to today and the Biden administration decides even the six months is not enough. By the way, all of
01:10:39.680
this, Glenn, takes place only after the Dobbs decision in 2022 reverses Roe. And Biden decides to throw
01:10:49.280
everything he's got at the pro-life movement. And so they tag on this conspiracy against rights
01:10:56.020
statute, which has nothing to do with faith, and manages to add another 10 years and a felony charge
01:11:03.660
against him. If you don't remember Paul, Paul was the guy whose wife was videotaping when they came,
01:11:12.620
you know, early in the morning to his farmhouse, uh, and dragged him away. You remember this? They,
01:11:18.480
I mean, it was so shocking to see, uh, and apparently there was, there was, you know,
01:11:25.400
nothing said about that either. Was there? Did anything change with the, with the, uh,
01:11:30.640
justice department because of that video? Not a thing. Go ahead. Nothing, nothing on my side,
01:11:39.380
nothing that I've been, uh, privy to know. And, uh, and, you know, he can't even come up in trial.
01:11:44.480
He can't talk about the way you're arrested, the way the government treated you or anything. So
01:11:47.780
you know, that's the, the, the scoop on that front. And, uh, hopefully when this is all done
01:11:53.320
and through the appeals process, we'll be able to address that, uh, you know, with the department
01:11:57.020
of justice and probably with Congress. So are you still hopeful that this will be overturned,
01:12:01.840
Paul and Steve? Well, I'll put it this way. Glenn, I, I'm here for the fight and not, you know,
01:12:10.580
they, I didn't ask for this. I didn't start this. I was obeying the laws, doing everything I was
01:12:15.220
supposed to do as a citizen of the United States. I was simply exercising my first amendment rights
01:12:20.260
in the hall and standing up and let's not miss the injustice to the unborn. So many times we get
01:12:26.040
caught up in the, in the wrestle between the department of justice and the pro-lifers or the,
01:12:30.180
this group or that group. But these are literally, you know, humans, uh, that these people in the
01:12:36.120
hallway were trying to defend. And, uh, and we miss that so many times in our narratives,
01:12:40.720
but, but I'm going to fight for them and I'm going to fight against injustice, not because I'm mad at
01:12:47.560
the DOJ, but because it's wrong. And to allow them to continue to do this to other citizens is just an
01:12:52.940
absolute travesty. And Steve, correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember watching the video. There was
01:12:59.940
no yelling, screaming, calling people, baby killers. There was no pushing, shoving. They weren't
01:13:05.700
blocking the entrance. They were just on the side of the wall praying, correct? Well, not exactly.
01:13:13.400
Many were along the side of the wall praying, singing hymns and so forth, but there were a few
01:13:19.380
that actually took up a position in front of the clinic entrance. So there were a handful of folks
01:13:25.760
that arguably violated face to the extent they engaged in physical obstruction. But let me throw
01:13:32.200
something else at you here, Glenn, two things, really one on appeal, which of course we are
01:13:36.780
certainly going to pursue. We are going to attack and have attacked below unsuccessfully the
01:13:43.480
constitutionality of the face act itself. When it was first enacted, it had its own issues because
01:13:50.240
really it targets only non-economic activity, a peaceful sit-in, but the courts kind of hung on and
01:13:57.760
said, no, we think it's close enough to stopping economic activity, that it is constitutional under
01:14:03.840
the commerce clause of the constitution, Congress's power there. But now after Dobbs, abortion is no
01:14:11.500
longer recognized as a federal right. And so you have no real basis, no foundation for Congress to have
01:14:19.740
any interest in enacting a federal law or maintaining a federal law that prohibits access to one business
01:14:26.420
alone, reproductive health facilities. And so we're attacking it on that ground. But the other thing I want to
01:14:32.860
point out is, in the enactment of face back in the 90s, they had a hard time convincing the conservative
01:14:40.420
Republicans that they ought to do this. So they tagged on sort of a throwaway that it also protects access to
01:14:47.840
religious facilities, right, and the right to worship. Well, guess what? After Dobbs, remember, there was this
01:14:55.560
incredible campaign nationwide by the folks called Jane's Revenge. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Something about
01:15:03.980
Ruth, too, right? Yeah. They're bombing pregnancy resource clinics, defacing Catholic churches in
01:15:10.940
particular, just ripping and tearing, vandalizing across the country. Those are still going on to the
01:15:17.300
tune of hundreds of facilities. And guess what? You've got a handful, maybe five folks ever prosecuted by
01:15:24.280
this DOJ. And yet they go back years. This event occurred three years ago to find peaceful pro-lifers
01:15:31.180
they can prosecute, but they don't seem to have any interest in going after the pro-aborts. So there's
01:15:36.540
this whole two-tiered justice system. So I just have to go back. If this verdict came back in
01:15:41.500
Washington, D.C. like this, I would understand. And it did, by the way. That was a few months ago.
01:15:46.540
Right. But why do you think it came? You just said, jury of our peers, truly a jury of our peers.
01:15:58.920
Well, yeah, hard to say. Of course, they won't let us interview the jurors. But I would say it like this.
01:16:04.940
Folks in the heartland of America still believe in law and order. And you give them very strict,
01:16:11.200
very narrow instructions, as was done here. They're going to follow the law and not allow
01:16:18.160
their conscience and their, you know, the kind of questions that arise like, what is the purpose
01:16:22.940
behind this law? What are we doing to ourselves here? And just sort of follow instructions very,
01:16:28.980
very tightly. And of course, they weren't allowed to be told that they actually have the power
01:16:35.140
to nullify even a law that's on the books like this. Jury nullification is verboten in these contexts.
01:16:43.100
It is interesting to me. I find that explanation probably the most likely explanation. I was on a
01:16:54.000
jury, really, it was horrible. And this guy, we all knew he was guilty. But we kept asking the judge
01:17:02.880
and asking the judge to come back in. He's like, only on these things. And we're like, but what if
01:17:09.700
we only on these things? And we, unfortunately, had to vote in a way that a lot of us disagreed with.
01:17:21.340
Yeah, I would suggest, Glenn, that one of the things that we need in this nation
01:17:25.240
is a kind of a re-education campaign on the rights of American citizens in serving on juries.
01:17:33.020
You know, if I can harken back to the O.J. Simpson days, that jury, Johnny Cochran, in his closing
01:17:39.660
argument, really almost made an outright explicit call and urge to just disregard the law and engage
01:17:47.440
in nullification. And he was allowed to do that. We are handcuffed. And so the jury goes in,
01:17:53.300
not knowing what authority they really possess.
01:17:57.400
Paul, I appreciate Steve. Thank you so much. Paul, we will continue to pray for you all. Steve,
01:18:06.480
Not until July the 2nd is sentencing. So we don't get to commence our appeal and
01:18:15.560
You guys are true heroes, Paul. Pass our respect on to everybody involved. Steve,
01:18:26.120
You bet. Thomas Moore, you bet. ThomasMooreSociety.org is the web address. If you want to help them,
01:18:33.900
they always are in need of contributions on people who want to help fund these kinds of cases.
01:18:39.840
It's ThomasMooreSociety.org, ThomasMooreSociety.org.
01:18:44.460
Standing up for what you believe in can be challenging at times, but there are basic things
01:18:48.660
you can do that aren't really challenging. Things like buying from companies that you believe in
01:18:52.620
and believe the same things that you believe. We need to stick together now more than ever. And
01:18:58.960
there is one company that is willing to stand with you in defense of liberty and religious freedom.

The following content identifies as a commercial. Isn't that lovely? The Glenn Beck Program
01:20:31.240
Glenn, the wrap hoodies flying off the shelves.
01:20:33.960
Yes, it's really a wrap hoodie, but I mean, no, it's...
01:20:38.340
Yeah, it's a hoodie. And, you know, we have t-shirts and everything else available at
01:20:43.960
glennbeckmerch.com. It's the Sick Twisted Freak, brand new, soon to be a legend. And they are
01:20:53.220
And you better hurry if you want one, because we have an unlimited number of them available.
01:21:02.500
The second demand dries up, these things will be gone.
01:21:07.540
When somebody says, I don't want to buy those anymore, I'm sick of looking at them.
01:21:12.380
And you won't print them. We won't print them again until there's some demand.
01:21:15.180
Yeah, if someone else asks for one, we'll just print another one.
01:21:19.220
So very, very special Sick Twisted Freak hoodies, sweatshirts, and t-shirts available now.
01:21:26.440
And there are several different ones. So you can see that right now.
01:21:31.820
I'm pretty excited, but they're actually really cool.
01:21:35.460
So let's see. There's a couple of things here that I think we should probably mention.
01:21:39.700
And according to Christopher Wray, the FBI director, the guy who just said,
01:21:45.500
we have terrorists here in the United States and all of the warnings are flashing red.
01:21:54.000
He just said yesterday, China is preparing its legion of hackers to wreak havoc on critical U.S. infrastructure.
01:22:04.180
So he said that yesterday, which I think he specifically said, and don't worry about it,
01:22:10.040
American water treatment plants, the electric grid, oil and natural gas pipelines,
01:22:18.220
But other than that, the bakeries are going to be okay.
01:22:22.640
So, I mean, unless they were waiting for a shipment of flour or something,
01:22:28.000
But if the bakery is fully stocked, you'll get your donuts.
01:22:37.460
Maybe we should start working on those things, you know, a little harder.
01:22:42.340
And it might be a little easier if we're not just letting, I don't know,
01:22:52.660
I'm an expert in Homeland Security, but we should probably get this one figured out
01:23:01.560
You know, although maybe we could take some time.
01:23:31.140
We've got to stay together if we're going to survive.
01:23:52.540

So I want to ask you some questions that, you know, most people roll their eyes at and
01:25:42.160
you know, just they haven't thought about it and they think they know and they don't.
01:25:53.600
Not the question that most Americans, you know, are spending any time thinking about,
01:25:57.180
but we must, we must begin asking our families and our friends these questions because you'll
01:26:04.280
be surprised how many people don't have any idea.
01:26:08.300
When you grow up in America, freedom, individual freedom, it's really all you know.
01:26:14.460
And it's easy to assume that it's, you know, just kind of like water.
01:26:20.640
Ask people at the grocery store, where's that meat come from?
01:26:28.600
We've completely disconnected from the source of all things.
01:26:42.860
Earlier this month, Rasmussen did a survey for the committee to unleash prosperity and they
01:26:48.940
divided respondents between elites, super elites, and the general public.
01:26:53.280
They defined elites as Americans who have at least one postgraduate degree and earn over
01:27:02.980
The super elites are the same, $150,000 a job a year, plus one postgraduate degree, but
01:27:14.740
They found that 47% of elites and 55% of super elites believe the government allows Americans
01:27:29.880
Half of these people believe the government allows Americans to have too much individual
01:27:38.920
70% of the elites say they trust the government to do the right thing most of all the time.
01:27:44.840
That's twice the national average of any other category.
01:27:50.360
77% of elites and 89% of super elites would also support, quote, the strict rationing of gas,
01:28:06.840
Because these are the people that are running our corporations and our government.
01:28:12.960
The strict rationing of gas, meat, and electricity?
01:28:18.460
This is an anti-American trend, and it's happening because we don't know.
01:28:27.760
And let me show you some of the garbage that's being shoveled.
01:28:30.220
One of the guys who is the elite and super elite, WEF member, everybody who's anybody, loves him.
01:28:41.040
At the World Economic Forum, while it was in session this year, there was a clip from a TED Talk
01:28:52.200
It's several years old, but during this, people were starting to go,
01:28:56.020
what is the WEF, they looked for who is part of it, and what are they saying?
01:29:03.920
I want you to listen very carefully to what a super elite talks about when he talks about freedom and rights.
01:29:15.380
Today in the world, many, maybe most legal systems are based on this idea, this belief in human rights.
01:29:24.820
But human rights are just like heaven and like God.
01:29:28.780
It's just a fictional story that we've invented and spread around.
01:29:46.200
Just as jellyfish and woodpeckers and ostriches have no rights,
01:29:52.720
The only place you find rights is in the fictional stories that humans have invented and spread around.
01:30:02.060
And the same thing is also true in the political field.
01:30:05.460
States and nations are also, like human rights and like God and like heaven, they too are just stories.
01:30:21.300
But Israel or the United States, they are just stories.
01:30:40.760
I've been in many parts of the United States that you could absolutely smell.
01:30:59.040
And if you don't believe that there is anything higher than man, then you probably would believe that.
01:31:18.520
And he says there's no biological proof of rights.
01:31:21.700
Well, it's weird because there is biological proof of sex and gender, but you don't want to recognize that.
01:31:32.860
So you reject that science while taking scientific avenues and shortcuts to back up something that you believe over here.
01:32:03.300
A lot of people now believe that if we have any rights, it's given to us by government.
01:32:07.040
Now, that's a little terrifying because a government that can issue rights can take all rights away.
01:32:15.580
According to that new survey I mentioned, America's elite class already thinks we have too much freedom,
01:32:21.240
and they trust the government to figure out the right balance for our rights.
01:32:27.040
His commentary on human rights is the polar opposite of the view of natural rights in our declaration.
01:32:45.220
If you can't do it in the animal kingdom, you can't do it.
01:32:50.360
And then God also sets aside some certain rights and some rights and wrongs.
01:32:57.600
Our mission statement as a country is our Declaration of Independence.
01:33:08.020
But they've intentionally, since the 1920s, stopped teaching it.
01:33:27.540
God gives all people certain inherent rights that cannot ever be changed or denied by anyone.
01:33:35.920
These essential rights are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
01:33:51.520
Then it goes on, when a government fails to protect these inherent rights, the people have the right and the responsibility to change or replace it.
01:34:01.120
Now, these are the principles that make the Declaration just as relevant today as it was when it was, before it was an old dusty document.
01:34:10.160
Government exists to protect humans' basic rights.
01:34:19.960
The existence of these inalienable rights, that's what led to the Constitution, not the other way around.
01:34:29.920
The Declaration of Independence is our mission statement.
01:34:34.720
The Constitution is the operator's manual or the how-to blueprint to implement that mission statement.
01:34:43.560
And our founders were so freaked out by government and people who were corrupt and just felt that they could lord over you, literally.
01:34:53.160
They wrote the Bill of Rights, which was the insurance policy.
01:35:00.440
By the way, I know you just read the instruction manual, but just to reinforce, you can never violate these things.
01:35:08.740
And it's worked remarkably well, all over the world, imperfectly, but it's worked.
01:35:25.600
It's the progressive idea that the truths change over time.
01:35:37.780
There is no such thing as my truth or your truth.
01:35:45.200
We may evolve in our understanding of that truth.
01:35:57.640
And if, according to progressivism, the truth changes over time, then so can rights.
01:36:04.940
According to this my truth, your truth world, rights are not inalienable.
01:36:09.980
Rights of a child to be free from sexual predators.
01:36:16.080
Well, no, if we change the meaning of pedophilia and say, no, you know what, that's their right,
01:36:24.620
then that child doesn't have the rights that you and I always thought they had.
01:36:31.940
Post-modern progressivism would have you believe that we, as people, have evolved so far past
01:36:39.120
the America of our founding documents that they're irrelevant.
01:36:43.900
We have science, we have experts, we have AI to guide us now.
01:36:51.680
Except for AI, that's exactly what the Germans had.
01:37:03.540
President Lincoln wrote that the truths that are found in the Declaration of Independence
01:37:16.760
That today and in all coming days, it shall be a rebuke and a stumbling block
01:37:21.760
to the very harbingers of reappearing tyranny and oppression.
01:37:27.800
We need to renew our commitment to the essentials of our founding.
01:37:33.800
There are people on both sides now that are saying, you've got to get rid of the Constitution.
01:37:39.140
We have to do things that are not in the Constitution.
01:37:42.220
There are people that don't even know what real religious nationalism is, Christian nationalism.
01:37:57.200
And if you're with somebody who says they're a Christian nationalist,
01:38:00.740
you need to know if they understand what that means.
01:38:10.540
We have to have a government that enforces our Judeo-Christian values
01:38:58.440
Tyranny and oppression are scratching at the door.
01:39:01.400
I don't want a strong man from any political party to fix things.
01:39:10.460
It's in the blueprint, instruction manual, and the Bill of Rights.
01:39:15.660
That restrains government from getting a strong man.
01:40:10.500
As, yeah, people say that there was this country once,
01:40:17.560
They didn't have the right to fly in an airplane
01:41:21.220
the iPhone is made by a bunch of slaves in China,
02:01:55.700
There's no political message one way or another.
02:02:45.180
you've just been watching free or reading free books.
02:03:00.660
And the other one, and I'll have to look up the name for this,
