Hunter Biden pleads guilty to 9 counts of tax evasion and conspiracy to commit tax evasion, and is sentenced to 9 years in prison. Glenn talks about why Hunter Biden should have been sent to prison for the crimes he committed and why he should not have been sentenced to such a long term.
00:00:33.280Very well. Should we talk about Patriot Mobile?
00:00:36.280Patriot Mobile, a fantastic company, great people who have done incredible work around the community to be able to not only make our school boards more sane,
00:00:46.860but honestly, like anything that has to do with their motto, which is kind of the opposite of every other company that we talk about these days.
00:23:19.240Unless you're trapped in some nightmare where you're always listening to this show.
00:23:24.040Someday in the future, your house will come equipped with laser beams that will shoot through your gutter system and vaporize all the leaves in them.
00:23:31.660And it'll even manage to do it without burning your house down at the same time.
00:23:37.260In the meantime, you have to take that wobbly ladder out from the garage and make your peace with God and then climb up that wobbly ladder to clean out the leaves.
00:23:45.940Or you could just get the leaf filter from Leaf Home Gutters.
00:38:48.840It is a, whew, it's just round after round of just getting punched in the face with things that you don't know if it's true or not anymore.
00:48:18.160I don't know what the laws are in Georgia.
00:48:20.300These charges stem from Mr. Gray knowingly allowing his son, Colt, to possess a weapon.
00:48:27.980Colt received the deadly present from his father just seven months.
00:48:31.900Now, here's the things that are going to change pretty hard.
00:48:37.100He got his deadly present from his father just seven months after authorities visited the pair when the FBI received tips about online school shooting threats.
00:49:52.760The disturbed teenager came from a broken home.
00:49:55.920Now, this is the information that the FBI had months before the shooting.
00:50:03.980The disturbed teenager came from a broken home where he and his sisters were regularly abused by their troubled mother and visited frequently by police and child services.
00:50:16.360Colt's mother, 43-year-old Marcy Gray, 43, has a lengthy rap sheet spanning 17 years and four Georgia counties, including arrests for drug possession, driving under the influence, and domestic violence.
00:50:29.920Lauren Vickers, who lived next door to the Grays in Jefferson, said the children were always wearing dirty clothes and sometimes were hungry.
00:51:16.460You know, they're spying on us illegally for our own safety, but I don't think it is for our safety, you know, because they're not protecting us.
00:51:28.360Listen, Georgia school shooting suspect on FBI radar since 2023.
01:09:09.060You know, we saw that in the U.S. during the terrorist days after 9-11.
01:09:13.000You know, the stranglehold on power always begins with a cause that everyone stands for.
01:09:20.460So with Bolsonaro, there was a big movement against Bolsonaro in Brazil.
01:09:23.880And a lot of people on the left, they say, look, Justice Marais, the Supreme Court justice, has kind of become the almost dictator of Brazil.
01:09:31.400They agreed that he's abusing his power.
01:09:53.160So are you concerned about how this is crossing international borders, that we apparently, our government, is involved in advising them on how to get Elon Musk, that you have Europe trying to do the same thing?
01:10:10.340I mean, this is almost revealing the new world order and how they all will cooperate to crush free speech.
01:10:19.420Look, first, simple answer to your question, yes.
01:10:50.920I had a lot of people from his party on stage.
01:10:53.680And you wouldn't be, not many people talked about what happened in Pakistan or even Venezuela, which is kind of, it's difficult to call it a democracy now.
01:11:01.280But for this to happen in Brazil, to that level, what's next?
01:11:09.840How many steps are we before this reaches the world's biggest, the beacon of democracy, the world's biggest democracy, and that's the United States?
01:11:46.740Because, you know, what's happening in Brazil is being watched by other countries.
01:11:50.400You know, we saw what happened in the U.K., obviously France.
01:11:52.980And we're seeing what's happening, the lawfare that's happening in the U.S.
01:11:56.500So if Morais gets away with it in Brazil, it's a massive country, hundreds of millions, I think 250 million people, if my numbers are correct.
01:12:04.320If that works in Brazil, again, I want to repeat, the world's third biggest democracy, and it works.
01:12:11.100What happens to administrations in the U.S. or other countries that also want that same stranglehold on the country, that stranglehold on free speech?
01:12:19.020Because they've already got in the media.
01:12:20.500You know, we've kind of lost the battle for free speech when it comes to mainstream media, and they've lost the trust of the people.
01:12:27.560So the only thing left is social media.
01:12:29.380They're already being targeted very heavily.
01:12:31.800And my concern is, like, what happened to the days of Google, you know, a couple of decades ago fighting for free speech against China?
01:12:38.900You know, and the whole motto of do no evil.
01:12:59.460They're choosing money over free speech.
01:13:01.520And it's a shame that Elon and Rumble, which obviously is much smaller, are the only two social media platforms that are standing up to centralization of power and our basic right of freedom of expressing our thoughts online.
01:13:21.160We're just doing it maybe perhaps a little quieter?
01:13:25.000I mean, the minute he bought Twitter and started, you know, opening it back up, they all, almost every department in the government started an open investigation on him.
01:13:40.740I mean, that's exactly what's happening with this judge in Brazil.
01:13:46.040They just don't have the First Amendment to slow them down.
01:13:57.080Look, it's not only the various three-letter agencies that are targeting Elon right now, from the STC to the DOJ to the SEC, Elon and its companies.
01:14:06.160We're seeing potentially more women in Brazil, but more importantly, advertisers are doing the same thing.
01:14:12.120It's just starting to see more of a, a lot of people like to call it the establishment, those in power, unelected officials.
01:14:17.340But it just seems like that cabal was trying to maintain power and control.
01:14:24.000And they are targeting X in a very blatant way.
01:14:28.120So, Linda Iaccarino, who's done an incredible job at X, she was initially the person that was brought in to kind of make peace with the ADL, make peace with other companies that were trying to, the Apple, for example, when they withdrew the advertising from X.
01:14:55.580And we saw Linda put out a letter to advertisers.
01:14:58.280They're going to start fighting advertisers legally through the U.S. justice system, which I hope the legal system in the U.S. does not go down a similar path to, it's already heading down a dangerous path, but not as far as Brazil.
01:15:08.760But if the legal system also goes down the path of centralizing power and censorship, then what's left?
01:15:16.160So advertisers are strangling Twitter's revenue, X's revenue.
01:15:20.780If the legal system is not there to protect a company like X, how far can one man go?
01:15:25.960Despite him being the richest man alive, how far can one person go?
01:15:29.100Social media companies need to stand up to this.
01:15:36.280I've been asked if I would help with a political fundraiser.
01:15:43.760And because of the FCC laws, I can't do it on radio.
01:15:49.500But I was wondering if I could do it on spaces.
01:15:52.600Can you, what kind of latitude does spaces give?
01:15:58.040Spaces, a lot of people listening to this might not know of what spaces are, even though they've been blowing up.
01:16:06.640So the fascinating thing about spaces, just trying to introduce the audience to them, is that it becomes like, you know, the old school CNN, Fox News live coverage when there's breaking news.
01:16:16.180But essentially, the audience participates in the coverage.
01:16:20.380So people could request to come up on stage.
01:16:22.960And, you know, I've had senators, I've had business leaders during the Silicon Valley bank collapse.
01:16:28.840I've had Mark Cuban, Bill Ackman come on stage.
01:16:31.140Obviously, Elon has been on my stage, I think, about five, six, seven times, I think, by now.
01:16:35.420And so when we're covering a story, you have the people that, you know, the people that have influence come on stage and request.
01:17:40.380And thank you for bringing so much attention to what is happening in Brazil and is coming to all Western countries if we don't stop it and we don't change course quickly.
01:21:53.200I mean, even if the CNN thing is true, obviously it doesn't prove anything beyond the fact that, you know, it's an interesting coincidence, right?
01:22:00.880But there's so many of those things around that particular day.
01:22:04.540And honestly, also, I think one of the strangest things about this election cycle, and it is really saying something to make that sort of claim, is that really that seems forgotten.
01:25:14.640Brett Weinstein came first on my radar maybe 2016, 2017, I think it was.
01:25:24.260He was teaching at Evergreen State College up in Portland.
01:25:29.180And I'm pretty sure they, the students arrested him and did a mock trial of him and held him against his will for a long time in the library.
01:25:43.460He was one of the most popular professors at the college.
01:25:50.400He, you know, obviously doesn't necessarily agree with me on, you know, politics, etc., etc.
01:25:56.640But I think we probably have more and more in common every day that goes by.
01:26:00.180His brother was just on a podcast this week and said he doesn't think that Donald Trump is going to be allowed to be allowed to be president again.
01:28:39.060You have made some pretty incredible posts recently.
01:28:44.140You wrote, you can't micro dose the red pill, make peace with it and then down the hatch.
01:28:53.200What what's what's brought you there and what do you mean by that?
01:28:56.480I guess I'm just noticing a pattern amongst people who are waking up to the threat that the West is facing.
01:29:06.740And the pattern is that the degree to which they see the threat is proportional, not to the size of the threat, but to their willingness to look the problem in the eye.
01:29:20.980And that was my ironic attempt to alert them that they need to fast forward that process because they will lag too far behind to do anything about it.
01:29:34.660If the question is one of how open they are to seeing rather than just simply looking at what's in front of them.
01:29:43.980I think it takes a lot of courage to look at what you've always believed and then have to reevaluate and say, well, I don't know, is what I'm saying true still?
01:29:57.200Is what they're saying true with what I believe?
01:30:01.560Do I need to reevaluate and reevaluate?
01:30:26.440And, you know, this is happening now, I think, to anybody with an openness to investigating any of their cherished beliefs.
01:30:36.180We're discovering that our friends aren't who we thought they were, that some of the people that we had viewed as antagonists turn out to be on the same side, motivated by the same patriotism and values.
01:30:50.760And some of the people that we would have expected to join us in defense of the West are absent from the field.
01:31:01.420And so one has to be ready to just simply look at all of the information we have and say, well, which of these stories just simply isn't true or maybe was never true?
01:31:15.240You wrote, it's impossible to understand the Democratic Party in traditional terms.
01:31:27.760It has been captured by something that has objectives that have no place in a democratic society.
01:31:37.300And it has engineered a false coalition to demand preposterous things to rationalize the abuse of power that it exercises when it is in office.
01:31:54.600So if you think about it as a group of Americans who have a view of the way the country should be governed, you'll be scratching your head.
01:32:05.920If, on the other hand, you think of it as a hostile force, one that has no interest in the well-being of average Americans or indeed in the meaningful continuation of the republic itself, it makes a lot more sense.
01:32:23.160And the people who are vocally supporting it are, in some ways, victims of a psychological operation that has convinced them to support things that are, frankly, unholy.
01:32:37.720So, Brad, that's amazing coming from you, and I think you're right.
01:32:43.300As we try to wake our own families up, do you have any advice on how to do this?
01:32:50.840Yes, I mean, I think we are all facing this.
01:32:56.680I certainly face this even within my own family.
01:33:00.720And I think the first thing is to look at your own journey and look back to a place where you were quite convinced of something that you no longer believe.
01:33:11.500And imagine that the people you're talking to are simply standing in a location that they can't see what you see.
01:33:22.680Realize that, you know, it's a tiny handful of people who are orchestrating this and a large number of victims who have effectively been hypnotized.
01:33:34.760You have said that you're actually very optimistic.
01:33:40.900You're confident that, or more and more confident, that blue team won't win, in your words.
01:33:55.660Well, I have to maybe back you up from thinking that was an optimistic statement.
01:34:01.440Because what I said was, I think the blue team will not win the election.
01:34:08.840I believe they will be defeated both in the popular vote and the electoral count.
01:34:14.780But the second part of that statement is that it won't be reported that way.
01:34:19.960I'm concerned that the rearrangement of the manner of voting, the destruction of the mainstream press, or maybe capture is a better term, means that there's a capability to just simply portray the result as different than it actually was.
01:34:42.720So, yes, I believe if I look at the interactions that I have as I'm traveling or even here at home in a blue state, there are plenty of people awake to win this election and defeat this blue monster.
01:34:59.760But at some level, it has to be recorded as a loss for the blue monster in order for it to be meaningful.
01:35:09.140So, are you talking about election interference as far as the vote count, or are you talking about propaganda that it was illegitimate, however they want to spin it?
01:35:28.400I don't exist in the realm where I understand exactly what does protect our vote count.
01:35:38.100But what I can see from the outside is that the deep state, or whatever it is, uses every trick in the book to bring about an electoral result that it finds favorable.
01:36:01.280So, I see the blue team as perfectly willing to cheat in ways that are visible in public.
01:36:09.640You know, the suppression of the Biden laptop story, for example, was election interference, and it was extremely broad.
01:36:18.020And, you know, who knows what effect it had.
01:36:20.660But the question I'm left with is, if you have a powerful force that is willing to cheat, is willing to destroy fundamental American values like freedom of the press,
01:36:33.500in order to shape the outcome of an election, the only reason that I would think that that wouldn't extend to a phony vote count is that it would be too risky or too difficult.
01:36:48.780And I don't think it's either of those things.
01:36:50.780Unless it was like a Reagan 84 kind of victory, where it was overwhelming.
01:37:12.040That is what I think we in the public have to ensure, is that it is such an overwhelming victory that any capacity to cheat is drowned out by the organic impulse of the American public to retake their nation and put it back on course.
01:37:36.320Do you see any signs that that might happen?
01:37:43.500Again, when I do an admittedly non-random sample as I travel through the world, I find a tremendous number of people alarmed, especially in light of what took place ushering Joe Biden out of the race and creating a phony picture of Kamala as some kind of heroic figure.
01:38:10.820But the question is, do they understand that this is not an election we must win, that this is the election we must win?
01:38:20.300In fact, what Kamala has said across many years, in fact, is that she thinks that free speech has to be reined in by the platforms and that she is intent on seeing that done in her administration.
01:38:39.860So the ability to return the republic to the proper course is going to vanish on us if free speech is targeted in that way.
01:38:51.720I've said that Kamala is the Chavez or Maduro of America, and we might still be America in name if she is elected, but you'll never go back to what we were because it'll be too late.
01:39:16.100I think you're giving her too much credit.
01:39:20.400I think what we've seen is a perfectly empty blue suit that has been portrayed as something significant.
01:39:30.720But really, the Biden administration, the fact that we have a president who does not retain the capacity to do his duties, yet he's still nominally in the office.
01:39:42.660That was a place where we could see that whatever is in power is perfectly comfortable with some kind of governance that was never agreed upon.
01:39:53.180And Kamala is the continuation of that.
01:39:56.440She is, you know, an empty suit for a different reason, ambitious and perfectly willing to do the bidding of whatever it is that's really in control.
01:40:04.160So, she's not, you know, I think Chavez at least actually believed things.
01:40:10.880I think Kamala is willing to say whatever it might be.
01:40:40.560Your body is just like your dog's body in many ways.
01:40:44.000It instinctively is searching for things that will make the body happy.
01:40:51.540It is looking for the nutrition that it needs.
01:40:55.980And if you're feeding your dog kibble food, all of that stuff's baked out and can sit on a shelf for two and a half years without, you know, going bad.
01:41:03.180That's not something I would feed my kids every day.
01:43:26.380I think we've done great damage to almost everything.
01:43:29.760And we just have to turn the corner and fess up to ourselves.
01:43:33.720Yes, I think we need to listen to Bobby Kennedy's wise words when he said that it is time for us to show that we love our children more than we hate each other.
01:43:48.860And if we can simply follow that and show up in great numbers in Washington on September 29th and demonstrate that this is a powerful movement and that their propaganda that pretends that the other side is somehow captured the imagination of Americans, that that's simply false.
01:44:58.760And I think it was him and James Lindsay.
01:45:01.100And he said, let me ask you a few questions because he was, you know, atheist.
01:45:05.220I think he probably still is, although he was talking about evil there.
01:45:07.880And he said, would you, if I could prove, and I know I can't, but if there was a way to prove that God didn't exist, would you reconsider your position?
01:45:21.880And I said, well, if you could prove it, and it was undeniable proof, I'd be stupid not to at least look at it and consider it.
01:45:32.420And he said, and I said, same with you.
01:45:34.780If I could prove God, which I can't, would you reevaluate your position?
01:46:04.060What Stephanie is raving about is the Genucel Dark Spot Corrector, a must-have now after months of record heat and times in the sun.
01:46:11.980Sunspots, brown spots, discoloration, even red inflamed patches.
01:46:15.860You can watch all of them disappear before your eyes with Genucel.
01:46:19.080And the Genucel guarantee is amazing because if you don't buy it, you know, you're like, I don't believe these claims.
01:46:23.300Well, you'll see results the very first day guaranteed or your money back.
01:46:27.480So take advantage of the Genucel current most popular package, which also includes the classic Genucel bags and puffiness treatment and immediate effects, all at about 70% off.
01:46:38.960Just go to Genucel.com slash Beck, Genucel.com slash Beck.
01:46:43.120Start looking years, even decades younger tomorrow.
01:48:14.580But I have been smart enough to surround myself with really good artists, and then sneak in the back door and go, yeah, and here's some of my stuff, too.
01:48:25.640But the, I have met these artists over the years, and I have just enjoyed their work so much.
01:48:33.860And the best ones, I think, are the ones that tell a story or bring you back to a time or make you feel something.
01:48:41.820You know, I was in, where, the Marriott in Washington, D.C.
01:50:15.980Then I realized I really wasn't that good at it.
01:50:18.040Even though I played trumpet, it's just one of those things where, like, you might like football, but if you don't have the body for football, you're not going to get too far.
01:50:25.780And so I put all my eggs in the basket when it came to art, and everybody just started encouraging me.
01:50:35.880And my dad used to, even though we grew up in East L.A., my dad would play all sorts of music.
01:52:14.460And as I read a book by Bob Dylan called Chronicles, he said his inspiration, one of his main inspirations was Hank Williams.
01:52:22.040And I went full circle, started reading about his life and didn't realize that he actually, because he looked old to me, he looked like he was in his 50s.
01:52:40.940So in many ways, I have, I have a son who has some, some back problems and hip problems.
01:52:46.520So I know what it's like when you want the chronic pain to go away.
01:52:49.860So I'm empathetic to the fact that he just started drinking at an early age and got fired from the Grand Ole Opry because he was unreliable.
01:52:58.820And, but he produced all these, he was a storyteller, Glenn.
01:53:06.720So I wanted to make my paintings about Gene Autry, who's really big in Southern California, because he owned the Los Angeles Angels who became the Anaheim Angels.
01:53:17.900And I love the Angels, you know, most people are Dodgers fans, but I was an Angels fan.
01:53:23.140So I would see this guy in a cowboy hat and I'm like, who is this?
01:53:27.440And then I realized after, you know, I got a little bit older, there would be no Roy Rogers without, without a Gene Autry.
01:53:37.640And your, your Hank, um, I, I don't know how to describe these because they look like posters or, or covers of, uh, you know, songs or something.
01:53:49.340Uh, they're beautiful, beautiful paintings, but in the Hank Williams, you have in the back, and I, I'm guessing there is a story behind all of it, the Holy Ghost revival.
01:53:58.960Then you have the bar in the background, uh, then you have a blue, a big blue Cadillac.
01:54:08.280And, you know, Hank Williams, at one moment he would sing, I saw the light.
01:54:13.620And then the next moment, you know, you're cheating heart or, you know, Hey, good looking, what, what you got cooking.
01:54:19.640And so he was raised in the Bible Belt.
01:54:23.540He, you know, he played with his mom in church and he also did these, these moral, moralistic songs and, and, and records as Luke the Drifter.
01:54:35.200And that was like a pseudonym, but he, his most, one of his most famous songs that people always wanted to hear was, I heard my mother praying for me.
01:54:46.780We, I cannot hear that song without getting a little weepy because these songs are all, these songs are really, they're written from the heart.
01:54:56.780He's a California boy from Bakersfield.
01:54:58.800And so, you know, you're all talking about, you know, mom, mama prayed or mama cared and I didn't do it.
01:55:04.440And, and a lot of people put that down, but you know what, these are stories that we all connect to.
01:55:10.360And, and sometimes, you know, we, uh, we're, we're, we're, we're a little too highfalutin in, especially when we get out of college.
01:55:17.800You know, when I came out of college, I graduated an atheist and, and cause that's what you have to do to form.
01:55:26.060And then when I'd be a born again Christian, I just came full circle, realized there is a God and I'm not him.
01:55:33.040And, and, and I have total control of my life.
01:55:36.800And so that song, that, that, that painting is a homage to I Saw the Light because revival, you could not go anywhere in the South during, you know, 30s, 40s without seeing these tent revivals.
01:56:43.560And my dream after I graduated Arts Center College of Design, which is in Pasadena, was to work on Star Wars.
01:56:51.900And I guarantee you, I was, I was typical of everybody of, of my age who was in art school.
01:56:57.860We wanted to work for George Lucas because they were just producing some incredible, incredible art paintings.
01:57:04.040And, and just the whole look that he created a world.
01:57:07.800And so I, they called me and I, and I got hired and, and, and so back then, see, I love painting.
01:57:16.900And, and so we were painting these six foot paintings that, that the opening to E.T., which I painted was one of the first paintings I did for Industrial Light Magic, which was George Lucas's special effects company.
01:57:29.840And that, that, that was about a 10 foot painting.
01:57:34.560And a lot of the guys there helped me because I was just totally freaked out.
01:57:39.900And Dennis Buren, who was one of the supervisors there, said, you know, Steven Spielberg's going to see this on Monday.
01:58:06.980I was a real lazy artist, but it really taught me how to perform at a high level every day because all the other painters around me were excellent.
01:59:55.640I'm going to be giving a, an address and, uh, and also telling the stories of history as each artist will do the same as they show the artifacts and then show their art.
02:00:05.880It's something a whole family can enjoy.
02:00:07.480Make sure you get your tickets at glennbeck.com or American narratives in fine art.com.
02:00:15.800Real estate agents, I trust.com is, uh, is my company.
02:00:19.180If you're looking to buy or sell a house right now, you'd be forgiven for thinking that, you know, it's all just a big luck game.
02:00:25.000Uh, I will tell you that, uh, I spent the morning listening to a podcast on the, the popping of the everything bubble, uh, back in 2007, I think, uh, I called it the money bubble.
02:00:40.720I said, we would get through this crash, you know, eight, uh, and then they would just put, just start printing money and give it everywhere.
02:00:49.720Well, they're calling it now the, the, um, everything bubble bubble.
02:00:54.200I might, you know, you might, if you're looking to buy or sell a house, uh, especially, you know, sell your house, you might want to do it now.
02:01:01.580Um, we started this company, real estate agents, I trust.com to be able to find the best real estate agents for you.
02:01:07.620And you don't have to take our, this is, I don't charge you for this.
02:01:11.440Uh, so you don't, you don't have to take our advice, but I would advise you just to meet with these people.
02:01:16.120Cause I think you're going to see a real difference.
02:02:02.540So, uh, Trump, uh, appealed the E Jean Carroll, uh, verdict.
02:02:10.900I think the judge just kind of laughed him out.
02:02:13.720I, I, you know, that's the, that's the impression I got from the coverage.
02:02:16.780Basically they're very skeptical of the arguments he's making, which was basically that a couple of the witnesses shouldn't have been able to testify and that they shouldn't have been able to, uh, play the access Hollywood tape.
02:02:27.380Which I was watching a clip from MSNBC where the woman was explaining what the access Hollywood tape is.
02:02:34.420And of course, obviously you don't need to explain that.
02:02:48.560But she says, uh, well, uh, excuse the expression on, on national television, but grab them by the boop.
02:02:55.420And she goes for it on, which is strange.
02:02:59.100I feel like, uh, they hide so much information about what people say and what people do when it does not work for their interest, but they'll go full out and say whatever they need to, to make Donald Trump look one 10th of a percent worse.
