The Glenn Beck Program - The Worst Attack on Your God-Given Rights Is HERE ｜ 12⧸1⧸23

00:00:00.000 I don't have the latest number.

00:00:03.500 What was it yesterday at the end of the show for pre-born?

00:00:07.860 $566,000, I think.

00:00:10.140 $566,000, which would take us for how many days?

00:00:13.140 It was 113.

00:00:14.740 113 days.

00:00:15.580 We are approaching the number, and I think we can hit it if we keep doing this maybe one more day.

00:00:22.780 We can hit the number that just the law changes saved, the number of babies saved in the, I think it was the last six months, was $32,000.

00:00:36.800 $32,000.

00:00:37.420 I think to get to that number, we need to get to $8,000.

00:00:39.920 $800,000.

00:00:40.500 $800,000.

00:00:41.520 $800,000.

00:00:44.260 We're unbelievably close to doing that.

00:00:47.440 What a miracle that would be.

00:00:49.960 If you want to give, please go to preborn.com slash Glenn.

00:00:54.780 Preborn.com slash Glenn.

00:00:56.860 Every dollar you donate is being matched.

00:01:02.320 Somebody else matched the next $100,000.

00:01:05.400 And we still have matching dollars coming in.

00:01:08.360 So give, even if it's a buck.

00:01:19.960 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:33.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program. 1.00

00:01:39.360 Yeah, that's right, you sick, twisted freak. 0.97

00:01:41.900 We have a boatload to cover, so we're going to get right to it in 60 seconds. 0.98

00:01:46.700 First, let me tell you about American financing.

00:01:48.620 They're saving their customers an average of $825 a month.

00:01:53.060 That's this audience.

00:01:54.480 They're saving people, individuals, up to $3,000 a month.

00:02:01.360 That's a lot of debt.

00:02:03.360 Now, here's what they do.

00:02:04.660 If you own your own home, you can refi.

00:02:07.980 And I know, you might have a great rate now.

00:02:10.460 But your credit card interest is through the roof.

00:02:14.100 And it's going to go higher and higher and higher.

00:02:17.560 They can get that rate down to like 7%.

00:02:20.980 Then when rates do come down, you can refi and get the lower mortgage rate again.

00:02:26.980 But this will save you, on average, $825 a month.

00:02:32.360 Please call American Financing right now.

00:02:35.200 American Financing at 800-906-2440.

00:02:54.640 So, we have the latest on Elon Musk's work against censorship of social platforms.

00:03:04.900 It's getting ugly.

00:03:06.280 The end of the ceasefire.

00:03:08.100 It ended last night.

00:03:09.600 The United States is, I mean, we are, we're on the wrong side, guys.

00:03:14.240 We're on the wrong side.

00:03:15.660 But the ceasefire is over.

00:03:17.160 We'll get into that.

00:03:18.120 The clear and present danger that is happening and being exposed in Congress today.

00:03:27.940 The most, this one is it.

00:03:31.900 I've always, people are like, what's the biggest thing?

00:03:34.020 This is it.

00:03:35.300 If this isn't stopped, it does mean not only the end of the republic, but the end of free will.

00:03:43.500 And I'll explain later on in the program.

00:03:45.640 Also, we're going to cover the DeSantis and Newsom debate that happened last night with Sean Hannity.

00:03:52.100 But I wanted to start with something that was bigger.

00:03:55.480 Bigger in its scope.

00:03:57.360 Because sometimes, well, all the time, when you listen to this program, it can kick you to the curb.

00:04:04.780 It can just kick you in the head repeatedly and repeatedly, and you feel like everything is out of control.

00:04:11.360 Let me start with something that will give you perspective.

00:04:15.640 In 1978, at a time that was much like this one, see if this sounds familiar, the country was in shambles, stagflation, despair, energy crisis, rampant crime.

00:04:29.440 People were hopeless, disillusioned.

00:04:32.000 They stopped believing in America.

00:04:34.920 They stopped believing that things will get better.

00:04:38.580 The greatest city, as was declared in the early 1960s, Detroit, had fallen from its perch.

00:04:47.760 The car industry, once the greatest in the world, was in shambles.

00:04:53.260 America was now being clobbered by a country in the Far East, who were coming here, buying our land and our landmarks. 1.00

00:05:04.600 Americans felt America was over.

00:05:07.260 Does that sound familiar at all?

00:05:09.560 So, at that time, 1978, one of the greatest American composers, Aaron Copland, joined with Henry Fonda, just to remind Americans of who they were, where they came from.

00:05:27.200 Aaron Copland wrote, I mean, he's written some of the greatest American music of all time.

00:05:33.240 He had the Philharmonic, playing all of his beautiful music, and Henry Fonda took to the stage and spoke.

00:05:44.340 He spoke of the dark times and the hope of Abraham Lincoln.

00:05:51.800 I listened to that over the last few days.

00:05:55.380 And the feeling of 1978, because I remember hearing that when I was a kid, and the feeling of that time and the words that he was speaking rang true to me.

00:06:09.140 I don't have the license to be able to play the Aaron Copland thing with Henry Fonda, but you should look it up and listen to it.

00:06:16.440 Now, I don't have Aaron Copland backing me up, and I don't have Henry Fonda's voice or credibility, but I do have mine, and I do have my thoughts, and I do know history.

00:06:33.660 So, I took his speech as a model, and I wrote it anew.

00:06:37.820 In the early dawn of our nation, we stood at freedom's threshold.

00:07:07.820 That is what he said.

00:07:10.900 That is what George Washington said.

00:07:14.820 Citizens of a young nation, behold our path of freedom.

00:07:19.880 We, in this fledgling republic, carry the weight of a new world on our shoulders.

00:07:26.500 Our actions, humble or grand, will forge a legacy beyond our lifetimes.

00:07:33.180 The responsibility of freedom, the duty of honor, these are the burdens that we bear for future generations.

00:07:44.500 Let the standard of the wise and the honest guide us under the watchful hand of providence, he said.

00:07:51.340 This is what George Washington said.

00:07:54.340 In times of peace and uncertainty, our resolve must never falter.

00:08:02.220 The sacred fire of liberty, entrusted to the American people, demands our vigilance.

00:08:08.340 In this great experiment of government, our actions will echo through the ages.

00:08:16.660 Citizens of a young nation, behold the path of freedom.

00:08:23.980 That is what he said.

00:08:26.560 He was born in Virginia, a land of rolling hills and boundless skies.

00:08:34.720 And this is what he said.

00:08:36.740 This is what George Washington said.

00:08:39.340 Let us raise that standard to which the wise and the honest can repair.

00:08:45.300 The event is in the hand of God.

00:08:48.560 Duty, honor, country.

00:08:50.860 These are not mere words.

00:08:52.640 They are the foundations of a life well lived.

00:08:58.980 In stature and in spirit, he stood tall.

00:09:04.420 And this is what he said.

00:09:06.820 The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destination of the the destiny of the Republican model of government are entrusted to the hands of the American people.

00:09:18.820 If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will only be because we destroyed ourselves.

00:09:28.820 A leader, a reluctant general, a president, a man of deep honor and integrity, a father of a country.

00:09:38.460 George Washington was a man of few but powerful words.

00:09:45.100 But when he spoke of duty and honor, this is what he said.

00:09:50.380 He said, labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.

00:09:59.280 George Washington, the first president of these United States, forever etched in the annals of history.

00:10:08.200 In the winter at Valley Forge, this is what he said.

00:10:12.560 He said, perseverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages.

00:10:18.020 Later, amidst the turmoil to end an ancient evil and try to right the nation's wrongs, a voice rose again.

00:10:47.240 A beacon of hope amidst the sea of despair.

00:10:51.620 And this is what he said.

00:10:53.840 This is what Abraham Lincoln said.

00:10:57.340 Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge may speedily pass away.

00:11:05.440 Yet, if God wills that it continue until all of the wealth piled by the bondsman's 250 years of unrequited toil shall be sunk until every drop of blood drawn with a lash shall be paid by another drawn with a sword.

00:11:25.000 As it was said 3,000 years ago, still it must be said, the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

00:11:35.920 He said, with malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us the right to see it.

00:11:48.540 Let us strive to finish the work we're in and bind the nation's wounds.

00:11:55.300 The storm passed, but our nation's wounds were deep.

00:12:02.520 This time it took a king to pull us back together.

00:12:09.840 Not like the kings of old who claimed God gave them the right to rule and be master over men.

00:12:17.120 This king, quietly, meekly, peacefully, became the servant of God and man.

00:12:23.060 Martin Luther King, who taught us to love and forgive and live up to our own ideals.

00:12:31.820 To live as one, not seeing the color of skin. 0.99

00:12:35.800 Almost a century after that great and bloody war, evil in the heart of man dared showed its face again.

00:12:44.140 And this king joined Abraham Lincoln, as he too was crowned in glory as a martyr.

00:12:51.200 But this is what he said.

00:12:54.540 He said, when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence,

00:13:03.180 they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.

00:13:10.600 This note was a promise that all men, yes, black as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

00:13:22.560 And it is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned.

00:13:31.140 But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.

00:13:36.980 We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.

00:13:45.920 And so we come to cash this check.

00:13:49.100 A check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.

00:13:55.000 This is what he said.

00:13:58.540 This is what Martin Luther King said.

00:14:01.640 I have a dream today.

00:14:05.060 That all men can live together, live as one, and not be judged by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.

00:14:17.300 In the quest for freedom, we stand as one.

00:14:21.860 That is what he said.

00:14:23.260 That is what Ronald Reagan said.

00:14:27.740 In the quest for freedom, we stand as one.

00:14:31.440 Across the globe, wherever tyranny casts its shadow, here or abroad, it is the duty of every American to be a beacon of hope.

00:14:43.100 Our nation, conceived in liberty, carries the torch that enlightens the world.

00:14:48.720 In the face of oppression, we shall not waver.

00:14:55.460 Our resolve is strength.

00:14:58.300 Our unity, our shield.

00:15:02.260 Born in Illinois, who like Washington, Lincoln, and MLK, never lost his God-given optimism.

00:15:12.000 Reagan had found it in his upbringing.

00:15:13.700 And he, too, dreamt of a world unchained.

00:15:18.440 And this is what he said.

00:15:21.120 This is what Ronald Reagan said.

00:15:24.180 Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

00:15:29.280 We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

00:15:32.860 Standing firm, he looked beyond the horizon, and this is what he said.

00:15:47.600 He said, evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.

00:15:54.480 We are a nation that has a government, not the other way around.

00:16:02.860 This is what makes us special among the nations of Earth.

00:16:07.520 Ronald Reagan, once a Democrat, then a Republican.

00:16:11.340 An American president and leader.

00:16:14.860 A man who saw America not just as a country, but as an ideal.

00:16:18.980 But when he spoke of Americans' duty, this is what he said.

00:16:26.720 He said, we must always remember, we must always be prepared, so we may always be free.

00:16:35.420 Our cause is noble, and it is the cause of mankind.

00:16:40.840 In his words of the Brandenburg Gate, this is what he said.

00:16:47.340 Let us be a force for good, a force for freedom, a force that fights for peace and justice in a world too often scarred by the opposite.

00:16:57.080 And as the dream of freedom endures, its guardians emerge in new forms.

00:17:02.640 This is what Ronald Reagan said.

00:17:04.860 In the quest for freedom, we unite against darkness, the darkness of tyranny.

00:17:11.120 Our nation, a beacon of hope, stands resilient against the bullies of the world.

00:17:17.140 We inherit not just a land, but a legacy of freedom that we must defend with unwavering courage.

00:17:27.600 He said, let us be unafraid in the face of evil.

00:17:30.600 Our unity is our strength, and in that strength lies the power to shape a world that cherishes freedom and justice.

00:17:40.640 Our destiny is not predetermined.

00:17:44.300 It is only crafted by our own hands, our hearts, and our unwavering spirit.

00:17:50.780 But in the symphony of our nation's history, these voices blend into a single, enduring melody.

00:18:02.940 From the foundations laid by the vision of Washington to the unyielding resolve championed by Reagan and the enduring hope of justice that was articulated by Lincoln.

00:18:18.460 Our journey is one of continuous striving.

00:18:21.220 We as a people have weathered the storms of change and stood as a pillar against the tides of oppression.

00:18:29.360 Together, these voices echo.

00:18:32.820 Our legacy is not merely in the battles won, but in the unrelenting pursuit of a world where freedom reigns supreme.

00:18:41.800 The spirit of America, resilient, bold, inspires us to uphold the ideals of democracy and humanity.

00:18:51.760 So in unity, we must affirm, as heirs to this great legacy, we must carry forward the torch of liberty.

00:19:02.520 Let us here and abroad be the keepers of this flame, a light that guides the world towards a brighter, more just future.

00:19:14.440 For in unity, in our courage, in our commitment to the ideals that have always defined us,

00:19:21.480 we will find strength to build a world where freedom, justice, and hope flourish for all.

00:20:35.140 10 seconds.

00:20:35.700 Station ID.

00:20:36.140 All right, let's say hello to our good friend, Stu.

00:20:48.120 Hello, Stu.

00:20:49.180 Hi, Stu.

00:20:50.460 No, I mean, that's you.

00:20:52.100 So you would say, hi, Glenn.

00:20:54.200 Oh, hey, Glenn.

00:20:55.420 Hi, Stu.

00:20:56.100 How's it going?

00:20:56.840 Oh, man, it's great.

00:20:58.040 It's good.

00:20:59.220 It's an inspiring message to start the program today.

00:21:01.600 I thought so.

00:21:02.320 Yeah.

00:21:02.680 I thought so.

00:21:04.100 I mean, the words of our, the words of presidents left, right, in the middle, all throughout our history.

00:21:13.520 We should look at them again.

00:21:15.060 We are so focused on doing the opposite, aren't we?

00:21:17.040 We are.

00:21:17.660 You know, Reagan is a good example of this.

00:21:20.160 Like, everyone, and understandably wants to say, oh, well, Reagan was a long time ago.

00:21:26.100 We can't just sit here and just say Ronald Reagan over and over again.

00:21:28.480 And that's totally true, right?

00:21:29.780 It's true.

00:21:30.520 You can't just say Ronald Reagan over and over again.

00:21:33.100 It was a great period for conservatism, and things have changed.

00:21:37.020 Issues have changed.

00:21:37.480 But that was his time.

00:21:38.420 Right.

00:21:38.920 And he would have dealt with today's world in a different way, of course.

00:21:43.500 But those principles are everlasting.

00:21:47.640 The line that stuck out to me as I was writing this was, evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.

00:21:56.740 From Reagan.

00:21:57.580 It's true.

00:21:59.640 If we're all unafraid, if we all acted like Elon Musk, the world would be a different place.

00:22:07.700 Yeah.

00:22:08.040 He knows what he believes is right.

00:22:11.720 He knows what his purpose is.

00:22:14.980 And he doesn't care what anybody says or does to him.

00:22:18.320 And it's not just because he has money.

00:22:22.240 It honestly is because I think his childhood built him into that.

00:22:28.020 But that's what all of our childhoods were supposed to build us into.

00:22:32.300 But we let society and culture and our educational system teach us to, no, no, no, no, no.

00:22:40.340 No.

00:22:40.740 You stand up and march with a sign.

00:22:44.560 Come on.

00:22:46.220 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:22:47.680 We're going to talk about DeSantis and Gavin Newsom next.

00:22:53.840 First, I don't do the whole cell phone thing.

00:22:57.720 I don't need the hassle.

00:22:59.800 I don't want it.

00:23:00.960 But I made an exception.

00:23:02.040 I got one.

00:23:02.660 I don't carry it.

00:23:03.460 But I got one.

00:23:04.160 Because I wanted to support Patriot Mobile in every way I could because I believe in them and they support us.

00:23:10.260 Their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always.

00:23:18.000 They put that cause ahead of profits.

00:23:20.700 And that's the reason I'm so proud to sponsor them or have them sponsor us and me, you know, be a voice for them.

00:23:28.220 Now, Patriot Mobile has extended their Black Friday deal to become every Friday matters deal.

00:23:35.040 You can get a free smartphone if you switch today.

00:23:38.360 They offer nationwide, dependable coverage with access to all three major networks.

00:23:43.120 So you'll get the same coverage without sending your money to leftist causes.

00:24:17.060 So the New York Times, their big takeaway from the debate with Gavin Newsom

00:24:24.640 and DeSantis is that it was unfair, that it was stacked together.

00:24:30.980 Of course, it was on the Sean Hannity show on Fox.

00:24:34.980 That would be like me saying, you know what?

00:24:37.440 I'm going to go on and I'm going to debate Gavin Newsom on CNN.

00:24:43.420 And then the big takeaway from the Blaze was it was unfair.

00:24:48.100 Right.

00:24:48.220 Of course, it was unfair.

00:24:50.720 I don't even know if it's fair to say it was unfair.

00:24:54.020 No, but it was slanty.

00:24:55.000 It was slanty.

00:24:55.800 Hannity's a conservative, right?

00:24:57.080 He's a conservative.

00:24:58.180 And quite honestly, you've got DeSantis, who is really good.

00:25:03.500 Yeah, really good.

00:25:04.400 It's really good.

00:25:04.900 Well, the taking of this debate by Newsom is a high degree of difficulty, right?

00:25:11.280 It's not an easy task to go on the Hannity show and try to beat Ron DeSantis in a debate.

00:25:18.160 But I will say, like, it's one of those things that, like, you know going in.

00:25:23.820 Right.

00:25:24.120 If you don't think you can absolutely dominate, absolutely dominate Ron DeSantis, you do not take this opportunity, quote unquote opportunity.

00:25:33.500 And so a couple of takeaways from this, from the big picture, and we should play some of the clips.

00:25:38.580 Number one, Newsom basically blew up his career last night.

00:25:41.760 Well, he had a good chance.

00:25:43.320 I mean, this was, you don't take this on unless you're somebody that can actually, you know, do it, knock him out.

00:25:51.940 You had to be so confident that you could walk into an opposing field, you know, where things are going to be stacked against you just because, and take him on and have a couple of knockout punches.

00:26:07.040 Did he have any?

00:26:08.780 No, it was really a catastrophe for him.

00:26:11.580 And like, so you had that, the interesting part of this, and if you're going to take this in a way that is going to make you understand the Newsom choice.

00:26:20.620 Right.

00:26:21.580 This was basically the last wall here for the person who wants to say, we need to replace Joe Biden.

00:26:27.700 Like, this is not working with Biden.

00:26:29.380 We need someone who is going to do something different than lose with an 81-year-old candidate.

00:26:36.700 Right?

00:26:36.980 Like, you need somebody who's going to do something impressive.

00:26:40.280 Let's just, let me give you a different scenario here.

00:26:42.620 Okay.

00:26:42.800 You have a situation where Gavin Newsom comes into this very unfriendly room against a tough candidate and destroys Ron DeSantis in the debate.

00:26:53.380 Let's say that happens.

00:26:55.300 There would be people excited to say, guys, look, we love Joe Biden.

00:26:59.840 He served our party for 50 years.

00:27:01.980 But come on.

00:27:03.920 He's losing to Donald Trump.

00:27:05.680 Gavin Newsom would destroy Donald Trump.

00:27:07.780 We've got to make that move.

00:27:09.040 And this is about the last chance you have to make a move like that.

00:27:13.120 All right.

00:27:13.320 Let me go on a couple of things.

00:27:14.380 It didn't happen, though.

00:27:15.100 Right?

00:27:15.640 No.

00:27:15.980 It didn't.

00:27:16.180 So we had an opportunity here.

00:27:18.200 It didn't happen.

00:27:19.000 Right.

00:27:19.400 So here is a clip.

00:27:21.160 DeSantis versus Newsom.

00:27:23.220 Watch this.

00:27:24.260 The stats are very clear.

00:27:25.600 One at a time.

00:27:26.040 On a per capita, age-adjusted basis, California and Florida, basically the same.

00:27:29.720 Now, why is that important?

00:27:31.080 Because Gavin Newsom did huge damage to people in California.

00:27:35.240 He ruined livelihoods.

00:27:36.960 We reopened the state very quickly.

00:27:39.620 We saved thousands of jobs.

00:27:41.480 We saved hundreds of thousands of jobs, thousands of businesses.

00:27:45.180 We had our kids in school.

00:27:46.700 He had the kids locked out of school because of the teachers' union.

00:27:49.840 That is having a generational impact.

00:27:52.940 California has one of the lowest literacy rates in the country.

00:27:56.040 In the most recent NAEP exam, Florida came in number three for fourth grade reading.

00:28:00.260 California was far, far behind.

00:28:02.240 So you should apologize for not getting your kids in school.

00:28:05.400 Why didn't you get the kids in school in the summer of 2020 like we did?

00:28:09.160 The only person.

00:28:10.120 You bowed to the teachers' union.

00:28:11.400 The only person.

00:28:11.960 You didn't do the job you should have done.

00:28:14.220 I mean, that's what would happen in any debate.

00:28:16.880 Right.

00:28:17.240 So that's not unfair.

00:28:19.360 And I don't think Hannity was unfair.

00:28:21.780 No.

00:28:22.160 I don't.

00:28:22.900 I mean, look, he's a conservative.

00:28:24.420 Right.

00:28:24.560 Everyone knows he's a conservative.

00:28:26.160 It's just stacked against you.

00:28:28.200 It is going.

00:28:29.180 It's Gavin Newsom going into enemy territory.

00:28:32.640 But I got news for you, gang.

00:28:34.080 That's what Republicans do.

00:28:35.620 All the time.

00:28:36.140 Every debate.

00:28:37.080 Every debate is that way.

00:28:37.840 Every debate.

00:28:38.340 For conservatives.

00:28:39.380 Okay.

00:28:39.680 So here he is on the gender books in schools.

00:28:43.380 Cut five.

00:28:45.120 Or is it the role of the school?

00:28:46.340 What is the role?

00:28:47.040 The role of the school is to educate kids, not indoctrinate kids.

00:28:50.920 It's not to impose an agenda.

00:28:52.760 It's to do the basics.

00:28:54.360 And what we've said in Florida is it's inappropriate to tell a kindergartner that their gender is a choice.

00:29:00.080 It's inappropriate to tell a second grader that they may have been born in the wrong body.

00:29:03.620 Now, California has that.

00:29:05.560 They want to have that injected into the elementary school.

00:29:08.640 My wife and I have a 7'5 and a 3-year-old.

00:29:10.800 We don't think that that's appropriate.

00:29:12.060 And I know most parents do not think it's appropriate.

00:29:15.580 It's also important to respect parental rights to know what curriculum is being used in the classroom.

00:29:20.940 And everything should be age appropriate.

00:29:22.580 I actually have something that I brought that some parents have objected to.

00:29:26.260 So this is a book that's in some of the schools in California.

00:29:28.740 Florida, this is not consistent with our standards, called Gender Queer.

00:29:32.120 Some of it's blacked out.

00:29:33.300 You would not probably be able to put this on air.

00:29:35.120 This is pornography.

00:29:36.300 It's cartoons. 0.64

00:29:37.300 It's aimed at children.

00:29:38.640 And it's wrong.

00:29:39.400 So this should not be in schools when people like on the left say that somehow you're banning books by removing this from a young kid's classroom.

00:29:49.100 No, this is not age appropriate.

00:29:50.540 And so we're going to stand for the rights of parents.

00:29:52.700 I think we need to do that nationwide.

00:29:54.460 I don't think you can have a situation where some states just trample on the rights of parents.

00:29:59.260 Parents have a fundamental right to direct the education and upbringing of their kids.

00:30:02.680 I have to tell you, I think DeSantis should take this as a massive win.

00:30:10.500 What Gavin Newsom was trying to do to tell the Democrats, I'll destroy these guys, DeSantis just did.

00:30:20.920 This should be DeSantis' entire campaign right now.

00:30:24.580 Show people what it would look like if he were the candidate.

00:30:28.780 If he were in the general, this is what you would get.

00:30:31.280 Remind people that this is what he should do. 1.00

00:30:33.940 Now, look, you're not going to get idiotic governors to come and debate you. 0.99

00:30:37.120 And it wouldn't make any sense to do debates with other governors. 1.00

00:30:39.940 But you do have an entire liberal media.

00:30:42.460 You have the view.

00:30:43.700 You have a million opportunities where you could go and do these types of things.

00:30:47.820 And it's like, take those opportunities and show people.

00:30:51.020 Don't try to walk.

00:30:52.260 Like, it's difficult to walk the line, right?

00:30:54.440 As a Republican candidate in this primary, we've seen zero people be successful since Trump walked in.

00:30:59.620 And dozens of candidates have tried this, right?

00:31:03.400 It's really hard to walk this line because a lot of people really like Trump.

00:31:06.480 You can't really say anything bad about him.

00:31:08.440 It's just a difficult thing to do.

00:31:10.200 This is not difficult.

00:31:11.720 There's a million people on the left that are going to want to take their shot at Ron DeSantis.

00:31:15.700 Go in there and mix it up with the left constantly.

00:31:19.300 Act like you're the general election candidate.

00:31:21.220 Go there and show everybody how much better you'll be than any of the other candidates.

00:31:27.040 And that's probably his best path to actually winning this thing.

00:31:29.660 Let's go to cut seven quickly.

00:31:31.320 Here's Newsom.

00:31:33.120 You think he's 100%?

00:31:34.520 I've been spending plenty of time with Joe Biden.

00:31:37.180 Private and public.

00:31:38.580 You don't know.

00:31:39.020 And by the way, results matter.

00:31:41.240 Inflation now is down to 3.2%.

00:31:43.300 Wages are up to 4.4%.

00:31:45.200 The economy is booming.

00:31:46.680 5.2% GDP growth in the last quarter.

00:31:49.260 Those are facts you don't hear on Fox News.

00:31:51.720 14 million jobs.

00:31:53.400 10 times more in the last three.

00:31:54.440 Let me move on.

00:31:54.640 That was a lightning round.

00:31:55.960 Now, on March 31st.

00:31:58.220 Bidenomics, he's selling.

00:31:59.640 Good for...

00:32:00.020 Yeah, by the way, Biden has stopped saying this.

00:32:02.720 I know.

00:32:02.920 Have you noticed this?

00:32:03.460 Yeah.

00:32:03.720 He has not said it in a month.

00:32:05.740 I know.

00:32:05.880 He has not said...

00:32:06.640 He was touting Bidenomics constantly.

00:32:09.240 And all of a sudden, he's just completely stopped saying it.

00:32:11.840 Right.

00:32:12.280 Let me play one more here.

00:32:13.720 This is DeSantis showing a map of San Francisco.

00:32:19.440 Watch this.

00:32:20.400 This is a map of San Francisco.

00:32:22.380 There's a lot of plots on that.

00:32:23.940 You may be asking, what is that plotting?

00:32:26.060 Well, this is an app where they plot the human feces that are found on the streets of San Francisco.

00:32:32.220 And you see how almost the whole thing is covered.

00:32:35.280 Because that is what has happened in one of the previous greatest cities this country has ever had.

00:32:40.020 Human feces is now a fact of life, except when a communist dictator comes to town. 0.60

00:32:45.960 Then they cleaned up the streets.

00:32:47.740 They lined the streets with Chinese flags.

00:32:49.920 They didn't put American flags there.

00:32:51.460 They cleaned everything up.

00:32:52.780 So they're willing to do it for a communist dictator, but they're not willing to do it for their own.

00:32:58.240 Incredible.

00:32:59.080 Just...

00:32:59.600 He was stunning.

00:33:01.080 He was stunning last night.

00:33:03.060 And this is one of the things.

00:33:04.160 Gavin Newsom, in theory, is much better than Gavin Newsom in reality.

00:33:08.800 Oh, yeah.

00:33:09.080 This idea that this is, oh, he's a younger guy, he's a good-looking guy, he's well-spoken.

00:33:13.520 Watch him.

00:33:14.140 All you can say watching that television screen last night.

00:33:16.880 Any rational observer would look at Gavin Newsom and just think the word douche.

00:33:21.500 That is who that guy is.

00:33:23.480 I know it's not the nicest way to put it.

00:33:25.640 I got it.

00:33:26.660 But that is all you would think about watching him.

00:33:29.900 And the idea that this is their bench.

00:33:32.160 This is the guy that they're depending on for the future of the party.

00:33:36.660 Right.

00:33:37.160 It should give you incredible optimism for the future of conservatism.

00:33:41.780 All right.

00:33:42.000 Let me tell you about Tunnel to Towers, our sponsor this half hour.

00:33:45.380 Out of the tragedy of 9-11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation rises up like a phoenix from the ashes.

00:33:52.280 It's been delivering on its promises to do good and never forget the sacrifices of America's greatest heroes.

00:33:58.760 These are the people who put their lives on the line to protect our country and our communities.

00:34:03.800 Let me tell you about Sergeant Dustin DeMonte from Bristol, Connecticut.

00:34:07.740 Fatally shot in a domestic violence incident.

00:34:10.100 He left behind two children and a wife, pregnant with their third.

00:34:15.720 Thanks to your generosity and that of those like you, Tunnel to Towers paid the mortgage on the DeMonte family home,

00:34:22.520 helping them to not have to worry about,

00:34:27.240 Mom, how are we making the payment for the house?

00:34:31.180 Don't worry, kids.

00:34:32.260 We're going to be fine.

00:34:33.660 And she's awake all night, tossing and turning, thinking she's going to lose the house.

00:34:40.860 This is what they do.

00:34:42.860 And they do it with your help.

00:34:44.560 You can help by donating $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org.

00:34:50.660 T, the number 2T, dot org.

00:35:03.660 In case you didn't know, the things you do with your money matter.

00:35:16.200 You can often affect change in the country as much with your wallet or some big debate moment.

00:35:21.520 You know, elections matter, of course, but you can change things with where you put your money as much or more than where you put your vote.

00:35:29.180 One way of doing this is, of course, by buying things that are made in America.

00:35:32.700 And, I mean, actually made in America because a lot of people will say they make their products in America, but surprise, surprise, they're not actually doing that.

00:35:40.420 It's hard to know who to trust sometimes, but one place you can trust is American Giant.

00:35:44.600 Really good people, really good clothing, and stuff that's going to last for a really long time.

00:35:49.600 This is true American quality, a product with merit made by people in this country for a fair wage.

00:35:55.280 Every stitch of thread, every metal rivet, every drop of ink is made and assembled right here in America. 0.94

00:36:00.880 And you're not just buying the clothing, you're investing in the process that will help save our country.

00:36:05.480 We need to get back to the American spirit of American manufacturing.

00:36:08.860 And American Giant is doing their part.

00:36:11.360 The cotton, the milling, the cutting, the sewing, it's all 100% American.

00:36:14.760 And, look, you're going to look around and you're going to find a cheaper hoodie somewhere.

00:36:19.180 You can probably do that, but why would you want to?

00:36:22.220 You can get high quality and you can get the, you know, you can support the things that you actually believe in when you support American Giant.

00:36:29.540 The American Giant patch means something and there's an American Giant in all of us.

00:36:42.160 Man, I apologize.

00:36:45.040 We were so focused on Gavin Newsom's teeth and slime that we somehow or another missed Buddy the Elf, who apparently was in studio with us.

00:36:57.260 TheElf.net.

00:36:59.600 This guy has the mannerisms of Buddy the Elf like crazy.

00:37:04.920 He's got them all down.

00:37:05.840 Yeah, he's got them down.

00:37:07.320 He does.

00:37:08.320 TheElf.net.

00:37:09.320 So, uh, all right, let's see.

00:37:13.060 Um, coming up, I'm going to, I'm going to talk to you a little bit about cognitive, cognitive security.

00:37:20.180 What happened yesterday, uh, in Congress was truly remarkable.

00:37:27.020 Did you watch any of it?

00:37:28.000 Did you see any of it?

00:37:28.940 I saw a little bit of it.

00:37:29.860 Yeah.

00:37:29.980 Okay.

00:37:30.600 And read about it as well.

00:37:32.000 Remarkable on the, the plan of attack from the Democrats. 0.64

00:37:41.140 It was to say that all of this was a conspiracy theory and they kept bringing up how much Donald Trump was a Nazi.

00:37:49.340 And it was, it was, it was like two, it was honestly watching two worlds and one was in, you know, they were in parallel worlds.

00:37:58.960 They were both in session at a hearing, but one world was talking about Nazis and, uh, Donald Trump.

00:38:07.420 And the other one was talking about the federal government now not only spying on people, but, um, using cognitive surveillance, um, and cognitive technology to change people's minds without them knowing it.

00:38:28.060 And we're now at that point, we've, we've been doing this show together long enough that I can totally picture these roles being reversed.

00:38:35.940 Like if you go back to the George W. Bush era, there were these, these types of hearings and about how evil the government was and how they were spying on you and how they were looking, there was surveillance all the time.

00:38:50.040 And it was the Democrats who were saying, this is terrible.

00:38:53.300 We should never let this happen.

00:38:54.580 And it's like, I don't think it was as real back then as it is now, although there were germs of it.

00:38:59.740 And we talked about that.

00:39:00.920 Planted the seeds.

00:39:01.920 Yeah.

00:39:02.100 Well, there were, and that was a problem.

00:39:03.960 Yeah.

00:39:04.220 Um, I think it's much, much worse now.

00:39:05.940 And now the Democrats don't care at all because they're the ones utilizing the power. 0.74

00:39:09.640 And that's the deal.

00:39:10.420 I don't understand.

00:39:11.400 If you actually cared, if you actually cared, you, you would now be saying, yeah, told you so.

00:39:19.340 Thank you.

00:39:20.920 And for instance, on the Patriot Act and on all of this security, right after 9-11, I was dumb enough to be for it for a while.

00:39:30.260 And I was like, you know what?

00:39:32.320 It's not going to change.

00:39:33.120 We need to have these tools, blah, blah, blah.

00:39:35.580 But then I warned as well.

00:39:37.720 But remember, all they have to do is change the definition of terrorism or terrorist and they get you.

00:39:43.940 And you always, always argue for sunsets.

00:39:46.560 Yes.

00:39:46.720 You always argued for these policies to go away once we got past a, you know, the clear and present immediate danger.

00:39:54.620 And they didn't.

00:39:55.520 And now it's morphed and they've changed the definition of terrorist.

00:39:59.940 Now it's you.

00:40:00.960 Now it's you. 0.97

00:40:02.200 Not Islamic terrorists from overseas or coming across our border. 0.99

00:40:06.660 You.

00:40:07.140 And even the authors of the Patriot Act said, this is not how it was designed.

00:40:14.160 Like they, they, they took what was, you know, probably a overreach of a policy, but understandable, maybe in the context of the moment.

00:40:22.220 And expanded that to ridiculous levels.

00:40:26.880 And now it's gone way beyond even what we could have imagined back then.

00:40:31.600 You know that the progressives, the, the real hard left is joining the Republicans in the house saying, don't renew FISA.

00:40:43.180 Yeah.

00:40:43.560 I mean, look at it.

00:40:44.680 And I hope that, I hope that happens.

00:40:47.140 That would be a consistent, if they stuck with that, that would be a consistent view.

00:40:50.300 Yes, it would.

00:40:50.780 And, and they should, they deserve credit.

00:40:52.100 Like I, you know, I, even though I would disagree with a lot of the things, you know, the far, far left does.

00:40:57.880 Because unlike people like Biden and a lot of the people that are the more mainstream representatives of the Democratic Party, they are typically consistent.

00:41:08.360 I mean, you know, is Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib were anti-Semitic before October 7th and they remain October consistent.

00:41:17.920 They keep, they're just as anti-Semitic, maybe more than they were before.

00:41:22.160 That's not, that's not to their credit, but it does show that they actually believe something and will say it.

00:41:27.500 They will say that, you know, from the river to the sea before and after a big news event like this.

00:41:33.580 You see with people in, in the Democratic circles, kind of in the mainstream circles, they'll move.

00:41:39.900 I mean, Joe Biden has been basically at the center of the Democratic Party in every single era of the Democratic Party for 50 years.

00:41:48.100 That's, that's not reality.

00:41:49.820 Like that, no, you wouldn't just find yourself there over and over and over again.

00:41:54.780 I'm tough on crime in the 90s, you know.

00:41:57.500 And now I want to fund the police.

00:41:59.640 Like that doesn't just happen.

00:42:01.760 You know, yes, you can change your mind.

00:42:03.600 But the fact that he kind of always finds himself square in the middle, right in between the far left and the more conservative members, if there are any anymore.

00:42:13.300 That's not a coincidence.

00:42:14.380 Well, you're kind of, I think, giving him a pass for all of the policies that his administration is doing, right?

00:42:22.700 Because that's not in the center of, between us.

00:42:25.380 No, in the center of the Democratic Party.

00:42:27.640 Oh, okay, yeah.

00:42:27.980 Not in the center of America.

00:42:29.160 Okay, okay.

00:42:29.640 In the center of the Democratic Party.

00:42:31.160 Like, he'll always have that, like, well, I'm not quite AOC.

00:42:34.260 He's been saying that for 50 years.

00:42:36.540 Yes. 0.98

00:42:36.840 Who's the craziest liberal? 0.92

00:42:38.120 I'm not quite that guy. 0.92

00:42:39.520 I swear.

00:42:40.400 And I'm certainly not a conservative.

00:42:41.440 It's Jesse Helms, but I hug him.

00:42:43.580 I hug him.

00:42:52.320 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:53.880 I want to talk to you about college.

00:42:55.300 You don't have to go to college.

00:42:57.740 I was saying to my son, Hillsdale is online.

00:43:00.720 MIT, online, free.

00:43:02.880 Now, you're not going to get the credits for it, but you need the education.

00:43:07.460 That's all you need.

00:43:08.360 And I want you to, I urge you, I urge you to go to hillsdale.edu slash Glenn.

00:43:17.400 These are, these are courses that you can check out.

00:44:05.240 It's a new day of time to ride.

00:44:11.740 Got no room to compromise.

00:44:14.580 Get up.

00:44:16.460 We got to stand together.

00:44:17.920 It's the chorus of life.

00:44:19.820 Get up.

00:44:21.820 Stand up straight and hold the line.

00:44:24.900 Get up.

00:44:26.320 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment.

00:44:55.540 Enlightenment and enlightenment.

00:44:58.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:04.680 Hello, America.

00:45:06.240 Let me just give you some breaking news.

00:45:08.520 Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor has died.

00:45:12.200 She was 93 years old.

00:45:13.820 And we thank her for a life of service to the country.

00:45:20.680 I am always asked, Glenn, what is, what's the most concerning thing?

00:45:29.160 What is the thing that's coming that can kill us, that will knock us out?

00:45:33.940 I used to debate that until this week.

00:45:38.700 There was a story that broke this week that no one is paying attention to.

00:45:44.380 The mainstream media certainly is, and everything that is happening, this is dwarfed by it.

00:45:52.560 This will mean not just the end of our republic, but the end of sovereignty in your life.

00:46:02.520 No, beyond that, the loss of all free will.

00:46:08.400 This is happening right now.

00:46:11.480 And by the time we hit the election, it may be too late to stop it.

00:46:17.580 But this is the knockout punch for freedom.

00:46:21.540 And I'm going to tell you all about it next.

00:46:25.360 First, let me tell you about Legacy Box.

00:46:46.680 I honestly, I have had, I don't know what to call it, but like a video cassette recorder, little teeny thing.

00:46:55.340 I don't even know what format it was.

00:46:57.160 I really don't.

00:46:58.660 You need to make sure that all of that stuff is preserved.

00:47:02.280 And you can do that now in the best way and the cheapest way all year.

00:47:32.780 LegacyBox.com slash Beck.

00:47:35.540 LegacyBox.com slash Beck.

00:47:38.620 Okay, yesterday there was a very important hearing in Congress on the weaponization of the federal government.

00:47:45.360 And I knew it would be a wake-up call about how close we are to living Orwell's 1984.

00:47:53.440 But in a surprising way, it was even more disturbing to me.

00:47:57.320 And, you know, in the super boring way that all government hearings are.

00:48:01.120 I'm going to spare you from having to watch all of it.

00:48:03.440 I have clips from it and then go watch all of it.

00:48:06.940 I want to summarize what happened.

00:48:09.900 The hearing started with a speech from the Democrat ranking member about how there is absolutely, positively, none, zero evidence that the government colluded with social media to censor people.

00:48:26.780 Okay, this was the first five minutes.

00:48:28.560 My eyes were ready to pop out of my head.

00:48:30.460 But this is old news.

00:48:32.380 We already know there's evidence.

00:48:34.200 We've already seen the Twitter files and everything else.

00:48:37.360 But then she continued on that theme.

00:48:40.580 And then the Democratic committee members decided to talk about, instead of the government colluding with social media to strangle the First Amendment to death, they didn't want to talk about that.

00:48:51.300 They wanted to talk about Donald Trump.

00:48:54.340 Seriously.

00:48:54.860 They brought in a witness, a former Homeland Security and counterterrorism advisor to Mike Pence, to talk about how Trump is literally Hitler.

00:49:05.440 In your testimony, you cited violent language, increasingly incendiary language being evoked by President Trump about his so-called enemies.

00:49:15.620 One of the words he used was vermin.

00:49:17.160 What does that echo in your mind?

00:49:20.460 Anyone else come to mind historically who referred to enemies of the state as vermin? 0.80

00:49:26.460 Yes, the horrible Hitler. 0.89

00:49:28.120 And Goebbels.

00:49:29.520 Yeah, and Stalin and probably Mao.

00:49:33.260 Not good people.

00:49:34.620 Not good people. 0.91

00:49:35.260 But here she is echoing what every Democratic member said, other than that Trump is Hitler. 0.99

00:49:42.440 He wants to ban all Muslims, overthrow the government, and he's going to start exterminating people. 0.97

00:49:48.380 Now, here's the second part of her testimony. 0.98

00:49:53.560 Weaponization of the federal government is a serious topic that requires sober analysis.

00:49:57.960 Unfortunately, what we see here today, and what we have seen from this committee over the past year, is instead a politically motivated fantasy detached from reality.

00:50:08.960 Members of this committee and their witnesses make grand and vague accusations about government censorship, but those foggy allegations are refuted by the facts.

00:50:17.300 That private social media companies moderating content on their own, private platforms, is not government censorship.

00:50:23.740 Oh my gosh.

00:50:24.680 It is those private companies exercising their own First Amendment rights to rid their platforms of misinformation.

00:50:30.780 There is a treasure trove of documents.

00:50:34.860 You will not believe, when you go down this rabbit hole, and you must, you must go down this rabbit hole.

00:50:41.320 When you go down the rabbit hole of what was released this week, and I'm going to go into it here in a second, you will see the actual documents and emails.

00:50:50.660 It was like watching two unrelated hearings playing over each other at the same time.

00:50:57.080 At one moment, there were witnesses talking about how our government is using psychological warfare against its own citizens, and then boom, Trump is Hitler.

00:51:07.640 We live in two separate realities.

00:51:12.300 It's like half the country recently came from an alternate universe, which got melded into ours in some cosmic storm, or I don't know, maybe this is global warming or something.

00:51:22.620 And sometimes the portal rips open, and the two universes sit side by side, yet totally separate.

00:51:29.680 We're talking about how social media is colluding with the government.

00:51:36.280 This is not just censorship.

00:51:38.840 Colluding with the government, and the documents prove the U.S. intel and military industrial complex to literally change the way people in America think.

00:51:52.680 They are operating government psyops on Americans.

00:51:58.360 This is brainwashing.

00:52:00.100 This is Manchurian candidate stuff.

00:52:02.780 This is Ray Bradbury.

00:52:06.560 I mean, this is the worst of the worst.

00:52:10.920 And they didn't want to talk about it.

00:52:12.980 This is a major issue.

00:52:15.660 And we've got less than a year.

00:52:18.260 And if we don't solve this, we're done.

00:52:23.540 Now, I watched two men who both, I think, were both lefties.

00:52:28.480 They were both Democrats and lefties at one point.

00:52:32.140 But they are actual journalists.

00:52:34.820 Michael Schellenberger and Matt Taibbi, former Democrats, debating with a Democratic congresswoman who so helped me,

00:52:43.820 was arguing that because there was only 35% of URLs labeled, removed, or soft-blocked, that that was evidence that there's no censorship.

00:52:54.440 And you could hear Matt Taibbi say, kind of under his breath, 35% of the First Amendment.

00:52:59.520 Okay.

00:52:59.800 But at the same time, Pence's former advisor was saying, the only weaponization of the government we need to worry about is Trump,

00:53:10.120 who isn't even in the government right now.

00:53:14.880 And since he's Hitler, you know, wouldn't it be best to get a hold of this government censorship apparatus before your Hitler comes back? 0.95

00:53:25.560 I have to tell you, there was also this bizarre effort to equate free speech on the Internet with horrific crimes.

00:53:34.540 Listen to this.

00:53:35.120 This is one congresswoman, Democrat, asking Matt Taibbi if he was okay with having rape live-streamed online.

00:53:44.820 Here it is.

00:53:45.700 Mr. Taibbi, yes or no, should social media companies allow rape and murder to be live-streamed by terrorists on their platforms in order to create fear and incite violence?

00:53:54.000 I believe that would violate their terms of service, would it not?

00:53:57.460 So your answer is no?

00:53:58.620 They should not be allowed to do that?

00:54:01.320 Live-streamed rape and murder?

00:54:02.740 No, I think that would count as speech that would be prohibited under their terms of service.

00:54:07.800 Good, good.

00:54:08.320 It's not speech.

00:54:09.920 It's crime.

00:54:11.720 It's rape and murder. 0.92

00:54:14.880 That's not speech.

00:54:17.480 I have to play one more clip of a Democratic congressman calling the whole thing a conspiracy.

00:54:21.640 But in doing so, actually explained what was happening oh so very well.

00:54:29.020 If we really want to talk about the weaponization of the federal government, we should talk about it.

00:54:32.560 And that's Donald Trump.

00:54:33.740 That's not this grand, crazy conspiracy of how the administration has utilized the social media companies

00:54:43.340 against whom the First Amendment does not apply in order to suppress speech.

00:54:47.980 Thank goodness many of the committee members recognize that.

00:54:54.360 So an agency funded and created by the government, a partnership funded and created by the government's number one stated goal is to censor true information.

00:55:07.080 And whole narratives, whole ways of thinking.

00:55:09.760 That should terrify everybody, Democrat, Republican, Independent, young, old, anybody else.

00:55:14.480 This is so critical to understand in whole thinking.

00:55:20.540 This is not about the old censorship.

00:55:23.720 Twitter was censoring.

00:55:25.020 That's not this.

00:55:26.700 There is censorship.

00:55:27.980 But now we have added covert operations run and funded by the Pentagon, run by our military industrial complex in public-private partnerships

00:55:40.320 to destroy the lives, not only the narrative, but to then destroy the lives of those who the government needs to be silenced,

00:55:50.280 even if they know it to be true.

00:55:52.720 Then active disinformation run by puppet voices and bots to get you to think a different way.

00:56:02.000 And it's not just about misinformation that's out there.

00:56:05.940 They want to block anyone on any narrative that might disagree with the government's narrative and do that in advance.

00:56:16.080 Remember, Michael added something really important here, whole narratives, whole ways of thinking.

00:56:26.360 Let me take one minute, and then I'm going to come back and I'm going to explain that to you.

00:56:30.420 Jeffrey wrote in about his experience with Relief Factory.

00:56:33.100 He said, I just want to send a message of thanks.

00:56:36.360 I am free of pain in my knee and lower back, which means I can keep my auto detailing business going.

00:56:41.400 And let me tell you, it was touching the go there for a while, and I'm working hard.

00:56:46.360 Thank you.

00:57:31.200 Station ID.

00:57:39.600 Okay, what we're talking about here is different, and it is so—I'm telling you, this is the end of not our country, not just of freedom, but of your free will.

00:57:59.280 What the Lord sent you down here to explore and control your own free will.

00:58:11.560 We are talking about the very basics of evil.

00:58:16.780 Taking away man's free will, and it'll happen without you even knowing it, because this is about reshaping the story of your life.

00:58:27.240 Why?

00:58:27.680 Did they have us memorize dates and names in history?

00:58:30.740 To destroy the story of America.

00:58:34.180 Because life is made up of stories.

00:58:37.140 Our brain processes everything in a story.

00:58:41.360 That's why movies are so effective.

00:58:45.000 That's why books are so effective, because it's in a story form, and that's the way we remember things and process things.

00:58:51.800 All of these stories, all of our experiences, all of these things shape your thoughts, which shape your behavior.

00:59:01.420 So if you change the stories, you change everything.

00:59:05.800 Now think about this.

00:59:06.700 If the story in your head is that all brunettes are vampires, are you going to date a brunette? 0.99

00:59:17.800 I mean, unless you like the blood sucked out of your neck. 0.79

00:59:21.660 And I'm talking about actually believing things.

00:59:25.060 Not just, oh, I read that on the internet. 1.00

00:59:27.420 But you have been shaped to believe that all brunettes are vampires, or all Trump supporters are terrorists, or all Jews are vermin. 1.00

00:59:41.160 Don't tell me it can't happen. 1.00

00:59:43.700 It has, over and over again.

00:59:47.300 But we're not talking about the old style of Goebbels.

00:59:51.440 It's a silly example with a vampire, but you get the stories that we tell ourselves create the reality that we perceive.

01:00:02.220 If you control the story in a person's mind as an individual, you control the person. 0.94

01:00:09.440 If I could control everything that somebody saw, and I could tweak, and I could send them certain stories, I could get them to kill someone. 0.96

01:00:22.760 If they were unstable, or if I had unlimited means to all of their information, I could get them to kill. 0.72

01:00:32.080 And if you think that our government can't or won't do that, you're mistaken.

01:00:39.000 That is what they're doing.

01:00:43.360 This is what we're talking about.

01:00:45.400 Cognitive security.

01:00:47.320 Most important two words that you have to learn.

01:00:50.580 You've got to learn this right now.

01:00:52.720 Cognitive security.

01:00:55.300 Michael Schellenberger only barely got to speak about it.

01:00:59.520 It's very easy to see the line in CISA.

01:01:02.420 They say they're covering physical security, cyber security, but they added a third one, cognitive security, which is basically attempting to control the information environment and how people think about the world, including the stories that they tell.

01:01:16.120 Okay.

01:01:16.300 In the founding documents of CTIL, the group that started this as a public-private partnership and then funded by the military, and now right in bed with the government, they talk about how the government used to be able to control the media because you had three networks, and they can't do that.

01:01:38.820 And it is important for them to be able to do that.

01:01:42.100 Let me give you an example.

01:01:43.020 Now, this is old-timey.

01:01:44.340 This is the way it was working.

01:01:46.500 Do you remember the COVID death counters?

01:01:49.060 CNN, major media platforms, they all had those death counters.

01:01:53.660 Well, seeing that every day shaped the way people saw the world.

01:01:58.920 If you were on the right, you most likely weren't as affected by it because Fox didn't do it all the time.

01:02:07.760 CNN had it on the screen the entire time.

01:02:11.680 That shaped the world for you, the way you saw the world.

01:02:19.080 If you were watching that and saw that every time you were getting the news, the world became more dangerous.

01:02:24.080 You think more about death.

01:02:25.880 You think more about your own death.

01:02:27.820 You didn't want to take any risks.

01:02:29.420 You decided to play it safe.

01:02:31.180 Look how dangerous this is.

01:02:32.760 Anybody against anything the government is saying is a danger, is trying to kill people.

01:02:37.620 That's the story that changed our behavior.

01:02:44.340 That's the government, and that's why the government has interest in controlling all of the media landscapes.

01:02:50.840 Some people spend more time online than any place else.

01:02:56.440 More time online than they do in real life.

01:03:01.580 Online is their reality.

01:03:04.660 The people they see online are as formative as the people they see in real life and maybe more important.

01:03:13.140 Now, let me hash this out for you.

01:03:17.560 Let's say you're a young, insecure girl who wants to be popular, who's uncomfortable in her changing bodies, as quite frankly all girls are, and I would say many boys are at that age, and is watching TikTok all day. 0.88

01:03:32.040 And she is fed a constant feed of LGBTQ, transgender people, and everybody looks happier than she is.

01:03:41.700 They're popular, they're confident, they're affirmed.

01:03:44.160 And without the story of high levels of depression that they're facing, even after they transition, without the story of those once young girls who had been encouraged to have their bodies mutilated at their young age, and are now suing the adults that wielded the knife and killed that girl's hopes of ever having a reasonable life as a woman and a mother, without that part of the story,

01:04:11.700 of course they're going to decide to start taking hormones, because I want to be more like that person.

01:04:18.000 They're happy, they're affirmed, they're popular, they're not confused anymore about their body.

01:04:24.900 Because the story those young girls are being fed, that people who take hormones and have their breasts removed are happier, they believe it. 0.98

01:04:34.400 That's the power of stories.

01:04:37.100 So it matters who controls the media landscape.

01:04:40.300 Now, I do not want to control the media landscape in any way.

01:04:45.560 I am not for silencing of anybody's opinion, especially LGBTQ voices.

01:04:51.080 No.

01:04:52.640 But I am saying we need to stop pretending that 30% of our population is confused or LGBTQ or XYZ+.

01:05:02.680 Let's stop pretending that the reasonable argument that was, people sometimes are born that way, no longer is the argument.

01:05:12.100 Gender is fluid.

01:05:13.000 You can decide whatever and whenever you want.

01:05:15.500 Compassion and love cannot be given without truth.

01:05:19.700 Truth is paramount.

01:05:22.880 And that's what this program is trying to stop.

01:05:25.220 More in just a minute.

01:05:26.740 The ministry of pre-born is making a change in this country.

01:05:30.100 It will last throughout the generations of time.

01:05:35.360 For $28, you can help a mom choose life. 0.84

01:05:38.660 Now, all week, actually just a couple of days ago, Tanya and I offered to match dollar for dollar, $100,000.

01:05:46.840 If you would send in five and I'll match your five.

01:05:50.220 We blew through that.

01:05:52.980 Then somebody else came in and they matched the next $100,000.

01:05:58.720 Then somebody came in and matched the other.

01:06:00.980 We're at $500,000.

01:06:02.240 How much?

01:06:03.300 It was $566,000 as of yesterday.

01:06:05.360 As of yesterday.

01:06:06.220 Don't have an update today.

01:06:08.180 But if we can get up to the number of what?

01:06:10.680 $800,000.

01:06:11.580 $800,000.

01:06:12.540 We will save as many babies that were saved from the overturning of Roe vs. Wade.

01:06:20.140 Okay?

01:06:21.000 We will save as many as were saved in the last six months just because of all the laws changed.

01:06:27.240 Incredible.

01:06:27.720 That's an incredible thing to be a part of.

01:06:31.040 Go to preborn.com slash Beck and donate now.

01:06:34.300 It's a 100% match right now.

01:06:55.140 All right.

01:06:56.600 I want to give you some solutions and I want to continue our conversation about what is happening with our federal government.

01:07:06.000 It is not just about censorship.

01:07:08.940 This is about brainwashing.

01:07:12.100 This is about 1984.

01:07:14.900 This is because of social media algorithms.

01:07:19.960 AI coming AGI if we're not almost already there now.

01:07:26.100 And the way we can control the media, it's extraordinarily dangerous.

01:07:35.700 This is a power that is fire.

01:07:38.800 If you don't control it, it will control you and you won't even know it.

01:07:45.740 So, Michael Schellenberger referenced yesterday in a congressional hearing, a group called CISA.

01:07:56.140 That's an acronym.

01:07:57.440 It stands for Cyber Security and Information Security Agency.

01:08:02.240 It is under the Department of Homeland Security.

01:08:05.480 It's funded by the National Science Foundation.

01:08:09.720 Did you know that the National Science Foundation was funding brainwashing?

01:08:16.840 Cognitive security is what they're calling it.

01:08:20.860 They worked with big tech to censor Americans, sometimes directly, sometimes through intermediaries.

01:08:28.020 Now, there's the Cyber Threat Intelligence League.

01:08:32.000 This one is the C-T-I-L. 1.00

01:08:35.020 That's another name you need to be aware of.

01:08:37.500 In a nutshell, we just found out that they've been using PSYOPs against the United States citizen.

01:08:45.920 You.

01:08:47.040 PSYOPs.

01:08:47.760 This is what Michael Schellenberger said in his written testimony that after hours, they never even got to.

01:08:55.460 The U.S., and this is all backed by documentation.

01:08:58.920 The U.S. and U.K. military contractors were working in 2019 and 2020 to both censor and turn sophisticated psychological operations and disinformation tactics developed abroad against the American people.

01:09:17.760 Do you remember when the American Spring, or I'm sorry, the Egyptian, what was that, Arab Spring, when the Arab Spring happened, and I told you we were behind that, Facebook and others, along with our State Department, they were using the media, the social media apps, and we fomented that.

01:09:43.320 And everybody said, I was crazy.

01:09:45.540 The lady who is running, or one of the people that is running the Cyber Threat Intelligence League, she admits in some of her emails and documents that she was the one running the Arab Spring operation for us.

01:10:02.820 Then we took that, and we overthrew the former president of Ukraine.

01:10:10.520 And I said, when that was happening, they're going to use the same thing on us.

01:10:18.600 Here it is.

01:10:20.400 And this is the end.

01:10:23.500 This is what Schellenberger said.

01:10:25.040 It is a psychological operation and disinformation tactic developed abroad, Arab Spring, and the color revolutions, and now they're using it against the American people. 0.54

01:10:43.320 Matt Taibbi and Michael Schellenberger have labeled this not censorship.

01:10:48.000 It's the censorship industrial complex.

01:10:51.000 The online world is being completely weaponized against you.

01:10:57.640 The government is part of it, if not leading.

01:11:01.280 And it is not a conspiracy theory.

01:11:04.920 It is a fact.

01:11:07.240 And the Democrats, what they did yesterday, trying to change the subject and trying to say,

01:11:12.500 oh, well, this is just a conspiracy theory, it shows because they were in literal lockstep on this, shows they know and they're protecting it.

01:11:23.400 This is a war for your thoughts.

01:11:27.480 I don't want Trump to have it.

01:11:29.340 I don't want DeSantis to have it.

01:11:31.140 I don't want anyone to have this power.

01:11:33.080 The people we're up against are experts, and they will change your story, what you think, how you think, bit by bit, and you won't even notice.

01:11:45.660 It's mind control.

01:11:48.240 And it is so brilliant because it's boring mind control, and it's fingerprintless.

01:11:57.400 There are no mind chips.

01:11:59.420 You're not shocked into a hypnotic state.

01:12:03.160 They don't have to use drugs.

01:12:05.080 They control all of the little things that you see every day that seem insignificant.

01:12:10.180 But your life is actually just a blend of all those little things that you see and happen to you.

01:12:17.580 The food you eat, the things you buy, the movies you watch, the people you follow, the places you go.

01:12:23.880 That's your life.

01:12:25.340 And in the digital era, your life plays out on the backdrop of the media, social and otherwise landscape.

01:12:36.900 So who is it that is trying to control us?

01:12:39.340 Who's making these decisions?

01:12:41.560 This is a long clip, but I want to play it because in it, Matt Taibbi asks that very question.

01:12:49.780 Listen.

01:12:49.960 There's been a dramatic shift in attitudes about speech in this country, and many politicians now clearly believe the bulk of Americans can't be trusted to digest information on their own.

01:13:00.500 This mindset imagines that if we see one clip from RT, we'll stop being patriots, that once exposed to hate speech, we'll become bigots ourselves automatically,

01:13:10.120 that if we read even one Donald Trump tweet, we'll become insurrectionists.

01:13:15.980 Having come to this conclusion, the government agencies like the DHS and the FBI and the quasi-private agencies who do anti-disinformation work have taken upon themselves the paternalistic responsibility to sort out for us what is and is not safe.

01:13:31.660 While they see great danger in allowing others to read controversial material, it's taken for granted that they themselves will be immune to the dangers of speech.

01:13:41.260 This leads to the one inescapable question about these new anti-disinformation programs that is never discussed but needs to be.

01:13:50.460 Who does this work? 0.94

01:13:52.560 Stanford's Election Integrity Project helpfully made a graphic showing the quote-unquote external stakeholders involved in their content review operation.

01:14:00.760 It showed four columns, government, civil society, platforms, and media.

01:14:07.020 There's one group that's conspicuously absent from that list.

01:14:10.920 People. Ordinary people.

01:14:13.180 Whether America continues the informal sub-Rosa censorship system we've seen in the Twitter files or the Facebook files,

01:14:21.760 or whether it formally adopts something like Europe's draconian new digital services act,

01:14:27.100 it's already abundantly clear who won't be involved in this kind of work.

01:14:31.860 There'll be no dock workers doing content flagging, no poor people from inner-city neighborhoods,

01:14:37.580 no single moms pulling multiple waitressing jobs, no immigrant store owners or Uber drivers. 0.56

01:14:44.920 These programs will always feature a tiny, rarefied sliver of affluent, professional-class Americans

01:14:51.760 censoring a huge and ever-expanding pool of everyone else.

01:14:57.600 Take away the highfalutin talk about countering hate and reducing harm,

01:15:02.720 and anti-disinformation is just a bluntly elitist gatekeeping exercise.

01:15:07.400 You must stand for the First Amendment, and I'm going to shame you a little bit.

01:15:15.820 There are five, five rights listed in the First Amendment.

01:15:22.440 Do you know what they are?

01:15:25.520 If you can't name all five right now, I'm going to soft-shame you.

01:15:30.600 You should know that.

01:15:35.040 Find out what those are right now.

01:15:38.500 Find out what those first five rights are in the First Amendment.

01:15:42.960 You should know all of the Ten Amendments.

01:15:46.660 Because if you don't know them, you're going to lose them.

01:15:51.380 No one should want the government involved in shaping our stories.

01:15:55.580 Not left, not right, not Democrat, Independent, Republican.

01:15:58.980 No one, only fascists, communists, authoritarians, theists want that.

01:16:08.480 Your story is yours, and the government has no business being in it.

01:16:14.660 Now, I'm going to spend just two minutes on what Schellenberger says we can do.

01:16:20.780 Congress needs to defund and dismantle government organizations involved in censorship.

01:16:27.260 Totally dismantle it.

01:16:28.980 They need to abolish CISA.

01:16:31.220 That's the Department of Homeland Security, Cyber Security, and Information Security Agency.

01:16:38.080 You can only give Section 230 protections, which gives social media companies the ability to moderate content without liability,

01:16:46.220 to social medias who allow adult users to monitor their own legal content and tell the public their algorithms.

01:16:57.000 Be transparent on the algorithms.

01:17:00.860 You cannot allow the government to ask social media companies to censor speech.

01:17:06.180 Or at least, if they do, they must take all of those requests and publish them publicly at the very same time they're sending them to those media companies so you know.

01:17:21.120 Now, those seem perfectly reasonable.

01:17:25.360 Can Congress pull it off?

01:17:27.120 Well, I will tell you, no one in the mainstream media is on this.

01:17:31.360 No one, I have been reading strangely about the loss of free will because it fascinated me.

01:17:37.360 For the last 25 years, there has been this argument with these philosophers who saw this time coming.

01:17:46.000 And I read it 25 years ago, and I'm like, what?

01:17:50.620 I don't even understand this.

01:17:52.540 I do understand this.

01:17:54.360 And those philosophers that have been going back and forth on the loss of free will, does it exist in the future?

01:18:03.260 The future is now.

01:18:06.000 Now.

01:18:06.640 And there's no going back from the loss of it.

01:18:12.700 You've got to call your congressman.

01:18:15.220 You have to.

01:18:16.500 And very kindly, very politely say, please, please educate yourself on this.

01:18:23.720 Please look at all of the documents that Schellenberger has that they tried to bring in to the weaponization of government.

01:18:33.060 Please make this your priority.

01:18:35.740 We're done without this.

01:18:38.140 Please.

01:18:40.300 I may not have the will to vote you in or out of office next time if we don't have this.

01:18:47.700 Please stop this.

01:18:50.440 Call your Democratic representatives and say, look, you're against disinformation.

01:18:58.200 I'm against disinformation. 0.95

01:18:59.880 You didn't even say to them, if you believe this, Donald Trump is a Nazi. 0.70

01:19:03.240 I agree with you. 1.00

01:19:03.960 Donald Trump is a Nazi. 0.92

01:19:05.740 Let's stop these programs because there's a chance that Nazi takes control and nobody should have this power. 0.96

01:19:16.260 But if we're really concerned about Donald Trump, you tell your Democratic representative, then we should stop this dead in its tracks.

01:19:25.880 This is a government intelligence.

01:19:26.500 This is a government intelligence agency, industrial complex with not just us, but all five intelligence agencies from five eyes.

01:19:40.660 It's the five biggest countries that share information.

01:19:45.280 England is spying on us for us, and we're spying on their citizens for them.

01:19:52.940 All of the documentation.

01:19:53.560 All of the documentation is there.

01:19:55.460 All of the documentation is there.

01:19:55.480 It must stop.

01:19:58.900 Educate yourself and politely, kindly, softly.

01:20:02.820 Any way you can convince them, because they most likely don't know anything about this, call them and urge them to educate themselves.

01:20:13.340 This is the clear and present danger.

01:20:17.860 This is the end of free will, and it's happening right now.

01:20:23.860 Call them, please, today.

01:20:29.820 All right.

01:20:30.380 If you're a gun owner, you know as well as I do that there is nothing quite as satisfying as hitting what you're aiming at.

01:20:37.700 You also know that in order to do that on a regular basis, you have to practice.

01:20:41.900 And I mean practice a lot.

01:20:43.280 So the question is, how do you do that without dropping a fortune on ammunition and wasting the ammunition?

01:20:48.680 What you need is a way to get in some good practice, whether you're using live ammo or not.

01:20:54.360 What you need is a product called Mantis X.

01:20:56.980 There's a lot of great products out there.

01:20:59.160 This one is unique.

01:21:00.800 It's high tech.

01:21:01.560 It's easy to use.

01:21:02.900 It's widely used by the military, and that's what makes it unique.

01:21:05.880 It started with the shooters in the Marines, and now it's used all across the board.

01:21:11.180 It will help you improve your shooting quickly because you're going to attach this little device on the end of your firearm.

01:21:19.100 You're going to connect it then via Bluetooth to an app on your smartphone or your tablet.

01:21:24.260 You have your tablet sitting right there.

01:21:26.320 You can be in your house just dry firing, or you can be at the range.

01:21:30.300 Whether you're shooting actual rounds or not, doesn't matter.

01:21:33.720 It will give you feedback on how you're holding the gun, how you're aiming the gun, and what happens when you begin to pull that trigger.

01:21:41.740 94% of the shooters improve within 20 minutes of using Mantis X.

01:21:47.780 It's truly a remarkable system.

01:21:50.340 It shows you what you just did and how to fix it instantaneously.

01:21:55.780 It's amazing.

01:21:56.980 Start improving today.

01:21:58.140 Get yours at MantisX.com.

01:22:00.080 That's MantisX.com.

01:22:03.720 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:23.380 I'm running so far behind.

01:22:25.080 I was going to tell you a story.

01:22:26.300 I promised you yesterday that I would tell you a story at this time about a real-life scenario.

01:22:33.720 That just happened.

01:22:35.340 That's destroyed a whole family because they used the old-timey kind of system to get somebody to act in the way they wanted them to act.

01:22:51.100 We know this from what we do know and can verify from January 6th.

01:22:57.940 We know the FBI was involved.

01:23:00.560 We know that the FBI was there.

01:23:03.620 We know that some of the same FBI people that were with the Gretchen Whitmer case, which those people, they went away.

01:23:14.720 They went free because it was entrapment.

01:23:18.980 The FBI went in and was suggesting and helping and pushing it along.

01:23:27.060 The only reason why those people aren't in jail is because you actually had the physical evidence of these guys who were involved in it.

01:23:35.660 With this cognitive kind of surveillance, there's no evidence left behind.

01:23:43.000 There's no way out.

01:23:45.440 The person just does it and they think, well, it was just my thought, when it wasn't.

01:23:51.100 And it will destroy our freedom of will and our country.

01:23:59.780 We'll have more on this on Monday.

01:24:01.420 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:04.100 Let me tell you about Rough Greens, our sponsor this half hour for The Blaze.

01:24:07.020 Owning a dog is a huge responsibility.

01:24:09.180 Taking care of their basic needs isn't always as simple as it might see.

01:24:12.220 If you're feeding your dog kibble food, for instance, you're not giving them all the nutrition that they need.

01:24:19.600 I got up this morning.

01:24:21.300 Tanya is out of the house.

01:24:23.200 And I just, I fed Uno and took him outside for a walk and he was, he's limping so badly.

01:24:32.300 I just, it's killing me to watch him slow down.

01:24:35.420 But he has lasted longer than any of our other German shepherds and had a better, longer life of good without all the pain.

01:24:45.080 And I think it's because of Rough Greens.

01:24:47.160 I can't prove that to you, but I really think it's because of Rough Greens.

01:24:50.540 And I'm so grateful for the dog that they have preserved and given me for so long.

01:25:05.540 It's Roughgreens.com slash Beck.

01:25:07.360 Final hour of the week coming up.

01:25:20.540 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:25:37.880 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:41.100 I can't tell you how, reading the news yesterday on Elon Musk after he went on CNBC and said, you know, if you don't, if you were trying to blackmail me, you know, go F yourself.

01:26:00.040 I don't want you to advertise on X.

01:26:02.240 Well, oh, the media, most likely Media Matters, went and asked, wait a minute, wait a minute.

01:26:09.780 Did you hear what he said?

01:26:11.400 And now how do you feel about advertising?

01:26:13.140 And they said, now they for sure won't return because he said that.

01:26:17.600 Oh, okay.

01:26:18.800 That's news somehow.

01:26:19.760 Let me tell you the truth about Elon Musk, Media Matters, and what's really going on, and the strategy that has failed every time, however, could work for Elon this time.

01:26:33.140 I'll explain in 60 seconds.

01:26:35.100 First, alarm bells are ringing all over the U.S. economy.

01:26:37.760 Moody's just downgraded our credit outlook to negative.

01:26:41.900 That's not just number crunching.

01:26:43.800 It is a dire, dire warning about our growing debts and sinking ability to pay them off.

01:26:49.940 It is high time we wake up to the real state of our nation's finances.

01:26:54.120 Amidst all of the chaos, there is a glimmer of stability, and it is gold.

01:26:58.260 With the Middle East boiling over, we haven't even gotten to the story that the ceasefire is over. 0.65

01:27:04.300 It's back to going after Hamas and the United States. 0.79

01:27:07.860 I mean, I couldn't believe Blinken said this, that Israel doesn't have the credit to be able to have a long-range war.

01:27:20.100 Is that a threat?

01:27:21.380 What does that even mean, Anthony Blinken?

01:27:23.560 Anyway, world's unstable.

01:27:26.180 The best thing you can do is call Goldline right now and find out if gold or silver is right for you.

01:27:32.180 Just 5%, 10% of what you have saved.

01:27:38.400 Please look at physical silver or gold and find out if it's right for you.

01:27:43.640 The people that can handle this and help you with no pressure is Goldline.

01:27:48.580 Call them right now.

01:27:49.720 866-GOLDLINE.

01:27:51.200 866-GOLDLINE.

01:27:53.060 Or goldline.com.

01:27:57.380 So yesterday, I posted something on X.

01:28:02.100 And it's about Elon Musk.

01:28:04.800 You know, he's going after media matters.

01:28:06.340 And after I watched him on CNBC, I understood his viewpoint, been there, understood exactly what he is really saying.

01:28:19.960 I'm not going to sell my soul. 0.99

01:28:23.260 And as he's on CNBC, he is making the point of, screw you. 0.98

01:28:30.620 It's only money. 0.97

01:28:32.020 And I believe in things more than money.

01:28:34.440 So I posted something, and it's doing, I guess, well on X.

01:28:41.280 And I would ask for you to go to my X account and just go to at Glenn Beck and look for this post and repost it.

01:28:54.560 Because everyone needs to know the kill switches on free speech.

01:29:01.700 And they're not organic.

01:29:04.440 Okay?

01:29:09.460 Here's what I wrote.

01:29:11.280 Elon, keep fighting the system.

01:29:14.440 It is corrupt, and you are right about media matters.

01:29:18.580 I've worked at CNN and Fox.

01:29:21.240 You would not believe how many journalists base not only their stories, but also their worldview after the media matter emails and posts.

01:29:33.120 You should also look into the rat's nest of the rat's nest of the Poynter Institute.

01:29:38.280 If you're somebody that is interested in how the press works, you should frequent the Poynter Institute website.

01:29:45.840 It is a horror show.

01:29:47.660 It is a horror show.

01:29:47.980 An absolute horror show.

01:29:50.380 They have darn near been demanding that journalists tell a story over reporting facts.

01:29:57.460 What they preach, teach, and fund is straight-up propaganda.

01:30:02.480 And I also know how media matter works.

01:30:05.580 Cheryl Atkinson wrote a great book on how all of it works.

01:30:08.900 She explains how they developed their current strategies, the ones they're using against X, when they tried to destroy my voice years ago.

01:30:17.520 Example.

01:30:18.420 Let me introduce you to Angelo Caruso.

01:30:20.940 He's now the chairman and president of Media Matters.

01:30:26.580 How do I know him?

01:30:28.300 Because back in the day, he was just a loner in his mom's basement.

01:30:32.800 He was a guy who started the first advertiser boycott of my show.

01:30:37.700 He brags about it now on his Media Matters bio.

01:30:42.700 Media Matters latched on to this kid in the basement, and today he runs the place.

01:30:48.500 Many times, they gathered a list of the names of advertisers that would not advertise on my show anymore.

01:30:57.040 They never advertised on my program.

01:31:00.420 And many of them were, the demand was, I think, at gunpoint, that they promise never to advertise on the Glenn Beck program.

01:31:10.360 A great example is when Media Matters announced that Mercedes-Benz would never allow advertising on my program.

01:31:17.280 Well, at the time, my show had been on the air for 30 years, and they had never advertised with me.

01:31:24.740 Media Matters tried to make it look like they rejected me because I was some sort of Nazi.

01:31:29.760 Meanwhile, the world has pictures of Hitler riding around, waving while inside of a Mercedes product.

01:31:36.280 So I welcome the fight with Mercedes on who really loved the Nazis. 0.62

01:31:40.240 You said at the New York Times Dealbook Summit that this is blackmail.

01:31:48.520 I believe it's closer to economic terrorism.

01:31:51.880 Many times, companies go with Media Matters demands, not because they agree with them, but rather because they are being told,

01:32:00.580 if you don't, then we'll let our radicals loose on you as well.

01:32:06.140 Economic terrorism.

01:32:07.860 But Media Matters only exists because of a well-funded network of radicals and far-left donors continue to prop it up.

01:32:16.760 Keep following the money.

01:32:19.020 Soros, ActBlue, Arabella Advisors, 1630 Fund, New Venture Fund, Hopewell Fund.

01:32:27.820 In 2021, Soros Associated Groups gave, at a minimum, hundreds of thousands of dollars to Media Matters,

01:32:34.780 and they have likely given millions in total since it was founded in 2004.

01:32:39.020 In 2010 alone, Soros himself donated $1 million directly to Media Matters to be used to destroy my voice.

01:32:48.340 The Ford Foundation, another financier of radical causes, gave $4 million to Media Matters from 2010 to 2015.

01:32:57.900 Other far-left organizations behind Media Matters include the Tides Foundation, Soros, MoveOn.org, Soros, the Democracy Alliance, Soros,

01:33:09.000 which together have funneled billions to groups like Media Matters in the past decade alone.

01:33:15.320 Oh, and let's not forget Hillary Clinton. 1.00

01:33:17.900 In 2007, she bragged that she helped start and support Media Matters.

01:33:23.000 Media Matters is a mouthpiece for the far-left masquerading as a watchdog.

01:33:27.760 It is a business that is built on lies and money from very dangerous people like Soros.

01:33:34.580 If X wins the lawsuit, Media Matters may not survive.

01:33:40.900 Good.

01:33:41.960 It doesn't deserve to.

01:33:44.780 You can find that post to Elon Musk on X and please retweet it and spread it as much as you can.

01:33:52.600 Now, let me show you what Elon Musk is doing, in my opinion.

01:33:58.620 And why it has never worked before, and why it may work this time.

01:34:08.240 Elon Musk, as I told you yesterday, I believe, is the Tesla of our day.

01:34:13.660 Okay?

01:34:14.180 He picked the name Tesla, you know, for his car.

01:34:18.180 And I don't think it's just because of electricity.

01:34:20.820 I think he identifies with the spirit of Nikolai Tesla.

01:34:26.280 Nikolai Tesla believed in changing the world for good.

01:34:29.400 He believed in things that other people could not see.

01:34:32.320 He was either an absolute crazy genius, which he was, and that alone, or he was a crazy absolute genius that was also touched by God, which I believe.

01:34:46.840 He was, he was, he, we're still behind Nikolai Tesla.

01:34:53.180 He thought way beyond where tech was even capable of being.

01:34:58.180 And he was thinking about these things and not thinking about business or money.

01:35:04.960 Tesla worried about the future and was trying to make it better.

01:35:10.340 Then Tesla went to work for Edison early on, and Edison ripped his ideas off and never paid him for it.

01:35:19.160 There was a dispute on a conversation.

01:35:22.100 It doesn't matter.

01:35:22.900 But this was Edison's way.

01:35:25.800 He used people all the time.

01:35:27.760 He was a very bad man.

01:35:29.860 But Edison was the it girl at the time. 0.73

01:35:33.680 He was, he was the expert.

01:35:36.820 He was, he was the Elon Musk of our day.

01:35:40.280 Okay?

01:35:41.280 Media loved him.

01:35:42.880 Not this part of Elon Musk.

01:35:44.320 Media loved him.

01:35:45.520 The uber, uber rich loved him.

01:35:47.920 The powerful loved him.

01:35:49.280 Wall Street, Washington loved him.

01:35:51.500 He was the expert, but he also had the people behind him and then all the power.

01:35:58.600 That's what Tesla was up against.

01:36:01.260 Okay?

01:36:02.020 That's why Tesla is not remembered as well until recently as Edison.

01:36:09.440 There's another person that fought all of this kind of power because they were an entrepreneur that saw the future,

01:36:18.260 knew that it should be done this way, and was way ahead of his time.

01:36:24.860 His name was Howard Hughes.

01:36:26.960 He's the guy who started TWA.

01:36:29.940 When I was growing up, he was the richest man in the world.

01:36:33.120 He was into airplane design.

01:36:35.120 He wanted to make air travel, jet travel affordable and competitive.

01:36:39.320 So, who was he standing against?

01:36:43.480 What was the power that he was standing against?

01:36:46.300 A company named Pan Am that went out of business, I think, in the late 70s or early 80s.

01:36:51.800 Okay?

01:36:52.500 Pan Am.

01:36:54.300 To show you that they had so much influence on the media.

01:37:00.600 They controlled so much.

01:37:05.200 Let me ask you.

01:37:07.280 Pan Am Airlines.

01:37:10.980 Can you tell me the color of their stewardess uniforms?

01:37:18.160 Blue.

01:37:19.560 Light blue.

01:37:21.380 Now, I know why I know that.

01:37:24.700 Why do you know that?

01:37:26.520 Especially if you weren't around for Pan Am Airlines.

01:37:29.840 Either because of one movie, or because it's ubiquitous.

01:37:36.260 That was the stewardess. 1.00

01:37:38.760 Okay?

01:37:39.600 That's where the Mile High Club came from.

01:37:41.980 That's all the legendary times of stewardesses and everything else. 0.95

01:37:45.540 That's where this came from.

01:37:48.980 They had the people.

01:37:52.960 Howard Hughes went against them.

01:37:54.280 He had, Pan Am had control of all the big money.

01:37:59.900 Wall Street, Washington, the media.

01:38:03.780 Here's the film version of him fighting the machine of Pan Am in a congressional hearing.

01:38:10.340 This is from the aviator.

01:38:11.600 Listen.

01:38:12.240 My reputation's being destroyed, so I might as well lay the cards on the table.

01:38:15.780 Senator Brewster, if you hadn't have gone too far overboard, if you hadn't have put the red-hot iron in my side,

01:38:24.920 I might have been willing to take a shellacking in this publicity spree of yours.

01:38:29.660 I might have been willing to sit back and take a certain amount of abuse,

01:38:33.100 simply because, well,

01:38:34.100 well, I am only a private citizen,

01:38:38.580 whereas you are a senator

01:38:40.100 with all sorts of powers. 0.99

01:38:44.560 But I think this goddamn circus has gone on long enough. 1.00

01:38:48.100 White sufficient. 1.00

01:38:49.220 You have called me a liar, sir, in the press. 0.99

01:38:52.000 You have called me a liar and a thief and a war profiteer. 0.91

01:38:55.480 Witness will restrain his comments.

01:38:56.920 Why not tell the truth for once, Senator?

01:38:58.460 Why not tell the truth that this investigation was really born

01:39:02.340 on the day that T.W.A. first decided to fly to Europe?

01:39:05.660 On the day that T.W.A. first invaded Juan Tripp's territory?

01:39:09.300 Sit down, Mr.

01:39:10.120 On the day that T.W.A. first challenged the generally accepted theory

01:39:13.900 that only Juan Tripp's great Pan American Airways

01:39:16.800 had the sacred right to fly the Atlantic.

01:39:18.900 So I'm not here to make a speech.

01:39:21.900 Stop.

01:39:23.820 So, he lost.

01:39:26.660 He lost.

01:39:28.460 T.W.A. went out later.

01:39:31.680 So did Pan Am. 0.70

01:39:33.420 But Howard Hughes, and partly because he went crazy,

01:39:39.880 Howard Hughes is not remembered for the innovator

01:39:44.120 that he was by the general public.

01:39:47.000 Okay.

01:39:47.900 There's one other person that I want to compare

01:39:51.260 to Elon Musk.

01:39:53.360 And then I'll tie it together for the lesson

01:39:57.260 that all of us need to take.

01:39:59.740 And I learned this one when I was eight years old.

01:40:04.740 Back in 60 seconds.

01:40:06.880 Veronica wrote in about her dog's experience with rough green.

01:40:09.240 She says, I have a 12-year-old Labrador.

01:40:11.460 And after one week of giving her rough greens, 0.97

01:40:15.400 we saw crazy improvement.

01:40:17.440 Her eyes became clearer.

01:40:18.760 I had to look twice when she came bounding up the stairs. 1.00

01:40:21.940 She hadn't done that in a long time.

01:40:23.720 This product is amazing.

01:40:25.240 Thank you for spreading the word on rough greens.

01:40:27.420 Veronica, thank you for writing in.

01:40:29.160 Thanks for trying it.

01:40:31.020 Now, rough greens is not a dog food.

01:40:32.580 It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black.

01:40:35.420 You sprinkle it on your dog's food.

01:40:37.340 Remember, brown food is dead food.

01:40:39.000 You want the green stuff.

01:40:40.620 And if it's healthy for your dog,

01:40:41.840 it's probably in rough greens.

01:40:43.920 The folks at rough greens want you to have

01:40:45.500 the first trial bag for free.

01:40:47.200 You just pay for shipping.

01:40:48.660 All you have to do is go to ruffgreens.com slash back.

01:40:51.840 That's roughgreens.com slash back.

01:40:53.920 Or call 833-G-L-E-N-N-33.

01:40:57.980 That's 833-GLEN-33.

01:41:00.540 Or roughgreens.com slash back.

01:41:03.640 10 seconds.

01:41:04.480 Station idea.

01:41:05.420 Tesla, not really recognized until after his life.

01:41:19.240 Howard Hughes, kind of a mixed bag with him,

01:41:23.300 but up until the aviator, most people didn't know who he was.

01:41:29.360 So who do we have?

01:41:30.960 Who do we have left?

01:41:32.280 One more person.

01:41:34.400 Orson Welles.

01:41:36.300 Orson Welles became a joke by the end of his life.

01:41:39.920 Okay? 0.90

01:41:40.180 He was fat.

01:41:41.400 He never completed really any pictures.

01:41:44.900 Although he made what now for 50 or 60 years was the number one movie of all time.

01:41:54.620 The one that everyone says was the best.

01:41:57.920 But it was made in the 1940s and it wasn't until the 1960s that anybody recognized it.

01:42:08.880 Because most people had never seen it.

01:42:11.160 Somebody found a decaying copy in the vault of RKO and looked at it and went,

01:42:19.420 Oh my gosh, this is brilliant.

01:42:21.480 But it had destroyed Orson Welles' career.

01:42:25.380 Why?

01:42:26.220 Because he stood against the guy who literally owned the media.

01:42:32.620 He controlled the people who reported on movies.

01:42:37.780 He controlled the newspapers.

01:42:39.860 He also just destroyed the reputation of Orson Welles, who thought because he was a big radio star and people knew his name and liked him,

01:42:51.620 but they didn't actually know him, they liked him, they thought, Oh, he thought, I'll fight William Randolph Hearst.

01:43:00.040 He didn't realize how much of the media was controlled by William Randolph Hearst and what that really meant.

01:43:07.740 William Randolph Hearst was Jeff Bezos times 10 and he owned all of the major newspapers and everything else.

01:43:18.740 The fight was first from Citizen Kane and it was released.

01:43:24.020 All copies William Randolph Hearst wanted destroyed.

01:43:28.080 It opened and it closed.

01:43:30.440 It ran, but only because of this.

01:43:34.460 This is from RKO 281, which is a fantastic movie about the making of Citizen Kane.

01:43:40.180 This is Liv Shriver playing Orson Welles, talking to the board of directors, a Jewish board of directors of RKO.

01:43:49.000 Listen.

01:43:49.620 Today, a man from Germany invaded Greece.

01:43:55.660 He's already swallowed Poland, Denmark, Norway, and Belgium. 0.70

01:44:01.840 He's bombing London as I speak.

01:44:07.860 Everywhere this man goes, he crushes the life and the freedom of his subjects.

01:44:12.320 He sews yellow stars on their lapels.

01:44:15.400 He takes their voices.

01:44:18.660 In this country, we still have our voices.

01:44:23.800 We can argue with them and we can sing.

01:44:26.700 And we can be heard because we are, for the moment, free.

01:44:35.220 No one can tell us what to say or how to say it.

01:44:40.380 Can they?

01:44:42.660 Gentlemen, I am one voice.

01:44:47.580 That is all.

01:44:48.160 My picture is one voice, one view, one opinion, nothing more.

01:44:56.280 Men are dying in Europe now, and Americans soon will be so that we can surmount the tyrants and the dictators.

01:45:02.720 Will you send a message across America that one man can take away our voices?

01:45:12.300 Well, Mr. Hurst built a palace of brick and mortar and little wars and corpses piled high.

01:45:31.780 Mr. Wells built a palace of illusion.

01:45:38.420 It's what we call a matte painting.

01:45:42.360 It's a camera trick.

01:45:44.060 It's nothing.

01:45:46.740 So, what does this mean?

01:45:49.620 That everybody who has tried to fight power at this level,

01:45:54.220 they eventually were recognized as the great men.

01:45:59.000 But they generally failed.

01:46:05.000 Why?

01:46:08.380 Why?

01:46:10.460 Because Edison had the public.

01:46:16.100 Why did Orson Welles fail?

01:46:19.280 Because Hurst had the public.

01:46:23.340 Why do all these guys fail?

01:46:25.260 Because they didn't have the public.

01:46:31.280 Elon Musk has the public.

01:46:34.500 But unless he finds allies that will support him and keep his reputation alive and fight side by side,

01:46:44.260 I fear it could end up the same way and we will all regret it long after he's dead.

01:48:24.920 This is important that we report on this update.

01:48:27.580 Now breaking.

01:48:29.040 Dateline.

01:48:29.700 Washington, D.C.

01:48:31.060 George Santos.

01:48:32.200 A spell expelled from Congress.

01:48:34.840 Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

01:48:37.380 What?

01:48:38.220 Yeah.

01:48:38.920 George Santos.

01:48:39.660 The person none of us had heard about like three weeks ago.

01:48:42.800 He's out.

01:48:43.860 Yeah.

01:48:44.220 I can't believe it.

01:48:45.320 Yeah.

01:48:45.620 I'm stunned to hear it.

01:48:47.160 Yeah.

01:48:47.500 I also didn't know who he was three weeks ago, so I'm not exactly all that riveted.

01:48:52.420 No way.

01:48:52.800 I knew who he was after his election because he was lying or something.

01:48:57.340 He immediately turned into the biggest story in the whole world.

01:49:00.780 This unknown congressman suddenly became the biggest story in the world, according to the New York Times.

01:49:06.040 They're writing about him eight, ten times a day.

01:49:09.000 What did he say?

01:49:10.460 What were the lies?

01:49:11.600 He, well, allegedly.

01:49:13.980 Okay.

01:49:14.680 Allegedly.

01:49:15.000 Allegedly.

01:49:15.720 Actually, a lot of the lies he admitted to, which was he said he worked at, I think it was like Morgan Stanley or some big bank, and he didn't actually work there.

01:49:25.040 Okay.

01:49:25.380 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:49:26.440 So he said he had a job that he didn't have.

01:49:29.440 I think so, yeah.

01:49:29.700 So like if you said, I was a truck driver, and I used to drive these trucks, and I remember driving these trucks, and you didn't ever drive trucks.

01:49:41.380 So it would be kind of like that?

01:49:43.800 I guess, yeah.

01:49:44.540 You claimed to have a job that you didn't have.

01:49:46.320 Okay.

01:49:46.780 All right.

01:49:47.200 What other lie did he tell?

01:49:48.620 He allegedly lied to donors and said, and used their money that was supposed to go for the campaign for things like Botox and OnlyFans.

01:49:57.080 What's OnlyFans?

01:50:00.440 It's like the way, well, I mean, it's a, you know, first of all, it's a very honest way to make a living.

01:50:04.920 We should not look down on it at all.

01:50:06.940 Oh, is this the one where you perform for money or whatever?

01:50:09.820 Yeah, I mean, some use it that way.

01:50:12.680 You know, others, who knows what account of it.

01:50:15.120 You don't know what he did.

01:50:16.700 He maybe went on some gambling trips, allegedly.

01:50:19.720 Okay.

01:50:20.300 Personal travel.

01:50:21.760 All right.

01:50:22.080 He allegedly lied to collect unemployment benefits.

01:50:24.940 This is all from the left-wing media here.

01:50:26.740 He allegedly committed identity theft.

01:50:29.100 He allegedly lied to Congress.

01:50:30.600 So it's, I mean, that's.

01:50:31.980 He reimbursed himself for loans he didn't make.

01:50:33.820 If all of those things were true.

01:50:35.720 He lied about where he went to high school and college and that he worked on Wall Street.

01:50:39.820 If all of those things are true, it would be like, I took money in bribe money, called it a loan, washed it through offshore accounts, had my son, you know, take that money and deliver it and divide it up to the family and then I got some of that money.

01:50:56.620 They wouldn't need nearly that bad.

01:50:58.140 That's a terrible analogy because it would not be that bad at all.

01:51:01.080 That what you're talking about would be much, much, much worse, especially if the person you were talking about had some notoriety of some sort.

01:51:10.140 Like if he was an important person in our country.

01:51:12.420 All right.

01:51:12.820 And the person that used to drive a truck that he never drove.

01:51:16.940 There you go.

01:51:17.600 Okay.

01:51:17.860 Okay.

01:51:18.080 So I'm shocked that Santos is, you know, out.

01:51:23.660 Yeah, it was 311 to 114 was the vote.

01:51:25.800 I think they needed 260 or 280 to get him thrown out.

01:51:29.220 So he'll be thrown out.

01:51:30.300 They'll be doing a special election in New York.

01:51:32.020 Remember the guy who was pulling the fire alarm to stop a vote?

01:51:38.100 Oh, yeah.

01:51:38.520 Okay.

01:51:38.760 He's still there.

01:51:39.380 He's still there.

01:51:40.100 He's totally fine.

01:51:41.000 The Republicans were just too much of wusses to throw that guy out.

01:51:45.360 Okay.

01:51:45.600 Something that you and I would go to jail for.

01:51:48.920 Yeah.

01:51:50.160 They couldn't bring themselves to throw him out.

01:51:53.360 I don't even know who this Santos guy is.

01:51:56.160 He came from nowhere.

01:51:57.120 No one knows who he is.

01:51:58.700 No one knew who he was.

01:52:00.220 He's a completely invisible, but had no accomplishments.

01:52:07.260 He was not right.

01:52:08.060 He had been in office for like a week.

01:52:11.000 Is there a chance he's a Sacha Baron Cohen?

01:52:17.920 Yes.

01:52:18.600 I am a full believer in this theory.

01:52:20.260 I think this whole thing has been performance art.

01:52:21.800 I don't think George Santos exists.

01:52:23.720 I don't think he ever.

01:52:24.520 I don't think now he's a real person.

01:52:27.020 I'm not saying he's a fake AI person.

01:52:29.240 I'm saying he is an actor, an actor who has decided to do a big piece of performance art

01:52:35.540 where he's going to come out and make some big point.

01:52:37.040 He's about to reveal it now that he's been thrown out of Congress.

01:52:39.220 You know who Stu sounds like right now?

01:52:41.180 And I'm just saying, lawyers, line up.

01:52:43.280 You sound a little like Alex Jones in your performance art.

01:52:46.640 True.

01:52:47.520 Hey, there's a whole other theory on that one.

01:52:50.660 Let me give you this.

01:52:52.040 Tina Smith.

01:52:53.100 Tina Smith.

01:52:53.880 She is a senator from Minnesota.

01:52:56.300 Yeah.

01:52:56.480 She is on the Senate Committee on Health.

01:53:01.420 Pretty important role.

01:53:03.260 Okay.

01:53:03.720 Yeah.

01:53:04.780 She decided to make a little purchase.

01:53:09.480 She bought some stock, $250,000 of stock in a company called Tactile Systems, which, you know,

01:53:17.520 everyone's been talking about tactile systems.

01:53:19.960 That's a no brainer.

01:53:21.320 Now, there's a Twitter account that goes through all the stock purchases of the families.

01:53:26.920 I love those people.

01:53:28.000 And see, are they making suspicious purchases?

01:53:31.040 They call it one of the smallest companies they've ever seen a politician buy.

01:53:36.240 Has almost no volume.

01:53:38.260 No one knew anything.

01:53:39.120 It was just this little tiny, tiny company invested $250,000 in this company.

01:53:44.700 Since then, the stock has risen 43%.

01:53:49.560 Holy.

01:53:52.020 Now, that's, I don't know, strange.

01:53:56.100 Like, well, but she didn't have any knowledge or anything.

01:53:59.400 She was just a good speculator, right?

01:54:02.120 Right.

01:54:02.600 Maybe.

01:54:03.620 Who knows?

01:54:04.220 We don't have any evidence.

01:54:05.320 We don't know for sure.

01:54:06.320 That's just a little blip from a senator, not a random congressman who's been in office

01:54:12.280 for a day.

01:54:13.500 This is a senator in a purplish state.

01:54:17.480 This should be, you'd think, at least a story the media is asking questions about.

01:54:21.080 This Santos thing, you know what this is? 0.92

01:54:23.020 Persecution of a gay man and a gay congressman. 1.00

01:54:26.400 This is a gay man, gay congressman. 1.00

01:54:27.740 You're right. 0.99

01:54:28.480 This is, okay, so he's a, he comes out of nowhere.

01:54:31.240 No one knows who he is. 0.97

01:54:32.860 He's a gay Republican, gets elected, suddenly has all these very easily disprovable lies, 0.79

01:54:39.220 none of which come out until like a day before the election. 0.97

01:54:44.120 Hmm.

01:54:44.960 He is somehow then put on as the, basically the face of the Republican Party for two

01:54:53.060 years.

01:54:53.740 I've never even heard of the guy.

01:54:55.280 He just becomes the face of the Republican Party.

01:54:58.060 Right.

01:54:58.820 And then gets thrown out of Congress.

01:55:00.000 Now, my understanding is Bob Menendez is still in the Senate.

01:55:03.360 He is.

01:55:04.000 He's still there.

01:55:05.180 He is.

01:55:05.660 This story's been going on for a decade.

01:55:07.480 The guy's still there.

01:55:08.360 Okay.

01:55:08.680 Let me help you make sense of the world.

01:55:10.500 Okay.

01:55:10.840 Okay.

01:55:11.180 Let me help you make sense.

01:55:12.420 Because I know that story doesn't make sense, but this one does.

01:55:16.860 You know, McDonald's has been in the news lately, having some troubles, right?

01:55:22.420 I, well, yeah, there's been some, some talk.

01:55:24.820 There's been some talk.

01:55:25.320 Okay.

01:55:25.800 Well, they have announced today that they have been working on improving the Big Mac since

01:55:35.800 2016.

01:55:38.320 They are, they are announcing today after all of those years since 2016, how they've decided

01:55:48.420 to improve the Big Mac.

01:55:49.500 Okay.

01:55:50.020 So this must be, this is big, a big.

01:55:51.680 This is huge.

01:55:52.200 Development on a Big Mac.

01:55:53.620 Yes.

01:55:53.940 Okay.

01:55:54.420 So what they're going to do to the Big Mac, and I am not kidding you, they've been working

01:56:00.860 on it since 2016.

01:56:02.120 It's a long time.

01:56:02.820 What they're going to do to make it better is they're going to include two smaller cooked

01:56:12.360 all beef patties.

01:56:16.060 So they're going to reduce the amount.

01:56:18.360 They're reducing the size of the patties.

01:56:20.220 They're adding more special sauce than fresh lettuce, cheese, and pickles.

01:56:27.880 Wait, what were the, what was the, what was the, what was the lettuce before?

01:56:31.140 Well, apparently not fresh.

01:56:33.100 Okay.

01:56:33.980 Okay.

01:56:34.400 This is, this is not, they're not saying fresh.

01:56:37.060 They're saying fresher.

01:56:38.320 Fresher.

01:56:38.640 Fresher.

01:56:38.780 Because it came in a bag right before, like they came in a sealed bag.

01:56:41.900 Sure, and I doubt it does now.

01:56:43.460 I think they're going down to the farmer's market now.

01:56:45.400 Really?

01:56:45.800 To get it.

01:56:46.300 Yeah.

01:56:46.680 Locally sourced.

01:56:47.600 Love course.

01:56:48.800 Now, here's the big thing.

01:56:50.820 Yeah.

01:56:51.140 Here's the big thing.

01:56:51.900 You're saying to yourself, that doesn't sound necessarily like a good change.

01:56:54.760 Because you'd think you'd want to advertise making your beef patty bigger.

01:56:59.000 Bigger.

01:56:59.340 That would be something you'd be excited to announce.

01:57:00.760 I don't know if they're going to advertise that it's smaller.

01:57:04.600 Well, but.

01:57:05.540 Why do we know about it?

01:57:06.700 Well.

01:57:07.000 I mean, every other piece of shrinkflation, right, just happens.

01:57:09.780 They just do it and they don't tell you about it.

01:57:11.380 Why do we know about this?

01:57:12.220 Well, because they've been, they've got a big, a big makeover coming from McDonald's.

01:57:16.840 Okay.

01:57:17.060 And so, you know, they're making 50 changes to their foods.

01:57:19.860 Ooh.

01:57:20.240 Okay.

01:57:20.440 Yeah.

01:57:20.640 Okay.

01:57:20.880 And the first one is, hey, our, our namesake product.

01:57:24.680 We're going to make smaller.

01:57:25.720 We're going to make it worse.

01:57:26.780 And then.

01:57:27.720 No, this is the one.

01:57:28.980 But this is the one that, this changes everything.

01:57:31.500 Okay.

01:57:33.040 They're going to take the burger buns.

01:57:35.040 Okay.

01:57:35.560 Okay.

01:57:36.540 They're going to continue to be round.

01:57:37.960 Whole grain.

01:57:38.260 Don't be crazy.

01:57:38.820 Is it going to be whole grain now? 0.88

01:57:39.780 No, no, no, no, no.

01:57:41.680 It's going to be still round.

01:57:43.980 Okay.

01:57:44.380 Because they want to keep that.

01:57:45.760 That's important.

01:57:46.780 And buttery.

01:57:48.340 Because they want to keep that.

01:57:49.580 Good.

01:57:50.100 Okay.

01:57:50.500 All right.

01:57:51.440 But the sesame seeds, I am quoting, the sesame seeds will also be

01:57:58.740 more scattered to create a more homemade look.

01:58:05.580 Wow.

01:58:06.840 They've been working on this since 2016.

01:58:08.920 How do I buy some McDonald's stock today?

01:58:11.220 Is that available?

01:58:13.380 That's scattered.

01:58:15.400 If you come into my office as the CEO and you say, been working on this since 2016, here's

01:58:20.880 what we're going to do.

01:58:22.900 I don't throw you out of my office.

01:58:24.580 If I'm in a high story building, I might throw you out the window.

01:58:28.320 That's what you came up with?

01:58:30.340 Scattered sesame seeds and smaller beast patties.

01:58:32.840 Boss, boss, boss, boss.

01:58:33.960 Listen.

01:58:34.340 It's going to be great.

01:58:34.960 This is going to throw the whole thing.

01:58:36.320 This is a whole new curve.

01:58:38.380 You know the sesame seed bun?

01:58:40.980 They're going to be distributed not as evenly on the bun.

01:58:46.940 Ooh, it's going to look more homemade when it comes out of the chute, down the burger

01:58:54.060 chute.

01:58:54.600 It's going to look more homemade.

01:58:57.000 That is bizarre.

01:58:58.360 Yeah.

01:58:58.740 Why would they, why would, I mean, is it just a pitch to investors to say we're going to

01:59:03.380 be saving money on these things?

01:59:04.800 And I mean, what could possibly be the reason they would tell people about this?

01:59:09.880 I don't know.

01:59:12.220 I don't know.

01:59:12.780 That's really strange.

01:59:13.280 Big Mac changes are happening after McDonald's ranked 13th among U.S. change with customers

01:59:19.180 calling their burgers desirable.

01:59:21.840 So remember, it used to be the Whopper or the Big Mac.

01:59:25.620 Have it your way.

01:59:26.800 Now it's like, we don't want any of your ways.

01:59:29.460 Really?

01:59:30.060 Yeah.

01:59:30.580 You guys are way down on the pack.

01:59:33.200 I freaking love their food.

01:59:34.340 I don't care what people say. 0.56

01:59:35.580 I don't care.

01:59:36.140 I had Taco Bell last night.

01:59:37.540 It was delicious.

01:59:38.440 I'm sorry.

01:59:39.080 I don't, we can, I can sit here and complain about, oh, capitalism.

01:59:43.280 Chain restaurants.

01:59:44.920 There's two, look at every one of our, our areas now just looks like a giant strip mall.

01:59:50.280 Great.

01:59:50.880 I love it.

01:59:51.740 I love the fact that there's a freaking one of these restaurants on every corner.

01:59:54.440 It makes my life special.

01:59:56.000 I have to, I have to tell, I don't know if it's special.

01:59:58.380 It makes it special.

01:59:59.500 I love it.

02:00:00.760 It's incredible.

02:00:02.120 How, how can a society achieve so many wonderful things?

02:00:05.820 I have to tell you, anybody who can make a filet of fish, which I doubt has any fish

02:00:10.980 in it, tastes like that.

02:00:12.500 It's a miracle.

02:00:13.860 Thank you.

02:00:14.780 It's a miracle.

02:00:15.260 It is.

02:00:15.740 And the, that bun, which is now smaller, the whole thing is smaller.

02:00:19.700 And no sesame seeds on that bun.

02:00:20.840 And no sesame seeds on that bun.

02:00:22.100 It's just, it's perfectly smooth, just like hold made.

02:00:24.260 Yeah. 0.96

02:00:24.500 You could roll that up like silly putty in your hand. 0.60

02:00:27.700 It's, they're fantastic. 0.92

02:00:29.360 And you know what?

02:00:30.500 They're freaking delicious.

02:00:31.780 And they're delicious.

02:00:32.460 I do, I love it.

02:00:33.740 The McDonald's breakfast is delicious.

02:00:36.540 It's so good.

02:00:38.580 It is.

02:00:39.040 I love it.

02:00:40.040 It is probably made of heavy metal plastic.

02:00:42.280 I don't care.

02:00:42.460 But I don't care.

02:00:43.600 It's so good.

02:00:44.500 I don't care.

02:00:45.140 I know.

02:00:45.760 I know.

02:00:46.100 I just, we, we, we live in a society where we have to say, well, I mean, it's probably

02:00:49.960 not even, who knows what.

02:00:51.900 Stop it.

02:00:52.740 It's great. 0.96

02:00:53.500 It's a great freaking achievement.

02:00:55.420 The fact that you can churn out food that's delicious, that gives people an opportunity to

02:01:00.780 eat at a low price that they don't have to prepare.

02:01:04.100 Surely somebody who would pay $12 for a Big Mac will pay $17.

02:01:08.300 It's, look, it might be $12 now, but every other place is $80.

02:01:13.440 So, you know, relatively cheap.

02:01:16.460 How about that?

02:01:16.880 All right.

02:01:17.260 Let me tell you about real estate agents.

02:01:18.740 I trust.com.

02:01:25.920 You want a real estate agent on your side that you can trust somebody that is listening

02:01:33.540 to you.

02:01:34.200 Somebody that you trust is on your side, trying to get the best deal all around.

02:01:38.500 I don't know about you.

02:01:39.420 I really don't want to rip other people off.

02:01:41.640 I want them to get a good deal too.

02:01:43.200 I just want it to be fair.

02:01:44.920 You know, I don't, I don't, I want you to make money. 0.94

02:01:48.220 I'm not stupid to put you out of business and rip you off.

02:01:51.820 I want you to make money, but I also want a good deal.

02:01:55.960 Then we both walk away.

02:01:58.900 If you feel that way, if you just, if you want people who are really good, working hard

02:02:03.480 for you, but they're ethical and they have the best practices that really can sell your

02:02:09.360 house or get you into the right house in the least amount of time with the most money

02:02:14.260 on the sell and least on the end real estate agents.

02:02:20.520 I trust.com the Glenn back program.

02:02:42.240 All right.

02:02:44.360 Welcome to the program.

02:02:46.020 There is one thing I want to, I want to tell you.

02:02:49.140 We'll come out tomorrow on my podcast, wherever you get your podcast, you can download it

02:02:54.060 tomorrow.

02:02:54.520 Otherwise it's out right now for a blaze TV subscribers.

02:02:58.440 It is episode two Oh three of the Glenn Beck podcast.

02:03:02.920 I covered myself with bodies.

02:03:06.240 This is the story is told by Lee saucy.

02:03:09.600 She was in Israel.

02:03:11.040 She's an American was traveling over to Israel.

02:03:13.160 She was meeting her going to be fiancees, uh, family and mom.

02:03:19.140 Uh, he's Orthodox.

02:03:21.260 She's not, uh, she wasn't a practicing Jew.

02:03:24.640 Um, and so when the music festival came along, she decided to stay and go to the music festival.

02:03:31.700 And he said, I can't, it's, it's Shabbat.

02:03:34.780 So I can't go, she went, he didn't saved his life to say that she's a God person.

02:03:43.160 Now, uh, I think is, is, is fair, fairly easy to say she was screaming out to God.

02:03:50.060 She, when you hear what she went through for eight hours, hiding under dead bodies in a bomb shelter where somebody was coming in with, um, a grenade or, uh, a machine gun every 30 minutes for eight hours.

02:04:09.040 Only eight came out alive.

02:04:11.580 She's one of them.

02:04:13.480 We wanted her to tell the story.

02:04:17.600 We've had offers from other people that have survived.

02:04:21.120 Um, but when she reached out at first or somebody reached out on her behalf, um, and we started talking to her, she said, you know, I, I don't know.

02:04:33.400 I don't think I can do this.

02:04:35.400 It's also overwhelming.

02:04:37.120 And so she was reluctant to do it.

02:04:40.340 And you will see at the beginning of the podcast, uh, I ask her, you know, you can back out and it will stop at any time.

02:04:48.840 Then when she really starts to almost hyperventilate, it's amazing to see her when she starts telling the story.

02:04:55.620 Uh, I said to her, are you okay?

02:04:58.360 You want to stop?

02:04:59.580 She's like, no, no, no.

02:05:00.740 Cause she believes that it is important for you to hear the miracle and the heroes, but to do so, she had to tell the story of her survival in the face of pure evil.

02:05:17.220 That comes out tomorrow, episode 203 of the Glenn Beck podcast.

02:05:22.600 I covered myself with bodies.

02:05:25.480 Hamas attack survivor details evil face to face.
