00:03:12.680 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:03:18.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:25.260 Well, hello America.

00:03:27.120 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:28.500 We have a lot to talk to you today about.

00:03:31.280 I want to finish up on what happened over the weekend.

00:03:35.680 What happened yesterday, the day before on Ukraine-Russia.

00:03:39.720 Looks like things are moving positively.

00:03:42.740 Also looks like the press is just having a full-fledged meltdown.

00:03:46.720 I don't know what we're doing.

00:03:48.380 I don't know how to call them a dictator in a death match for us

00:03:51.840 because it looks like things are kind of working out from time to time.

00:03:55.060 Deny, deny, deny.

00:03:56.260 It's crazy what they're doing.

00:03:58.560 But I want to explain America first.

00:04:00.900 I had a guest on yesterday from England.

00:04:04.360 And, you know, she said, you know, Donald Trump is an isolationist, yada, yada.

00:04:08.500 And he's got a lot of isolationists around him.

00:04:11.120 No, he's not an isolationist.

00:04:13.160 And he might have some isolationists around him.

00:04:15.500 But that's not what America first means.

00:04:18.200 That is what America first meant during the Second World War.

00:04:22.960 Because that movement was going around before we got into, you know, war and declared war.

00:04:30.000 And it was, hey, we've got to stay out of everybody's business.

00:04:33.700 You know, I know Hitler's over there. 0.96

00:04:35.160 I know everybody's fighting.

00:04:36.420 I know we're about to lose Europe.

00:04:37.900 But we don't want war with anybody.

00:04:39.660 We're not involved.

00:04:40.620 Mind our own business.

00:04:41.380 That's not what Donald Trump is.

00:04:44.200 And I really want to explain this because I think it's really clarifying.

00:04:48.400 And I'll explain that here in 60 seconds.

00:04:50.240 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:04:52.080 It's the Berna Launcher.

00:04:53.500 My daughter is coming up, I think, this weekend.

00:04:57.900 Is it this weekend?

00:04:58.660 Next weekend.

00:04:59.420 But we're going to go through a couple of sessions with the Berna Launcher.

00:05:03.380 Because the Berna Launcher, I gave it to her.

00:05:05.200 She just moved out of the house. 0.89

00:05:06.660 She's living on her own.

00:05:08.840 Or so she thinks she's living on her own.

00:05:11.340 Oh, yeah, there might be a squad car or two that's...

00:05:15.060 Anyway, but as I, you know, helped her put the last box into her apartment,

00:05:23.220 I brought in the Berna Launcher box.

00:05:25.420 And I said, honey, this is now yours.

00:05:29.540 And she's like, dad, I'm going to be fine.

00:05:31.360 And I'm like, I know you will.

00:05:32.560 Because you are putting this in your purse.

00:05:35.400 You are keeping this by your bed stand.

00:05:38.420 You are going to be fine.

00:05:40.540 It's not a gun.

00:05:41.820 It's legal in all 50 states.

00:05:43.540 It looks like a gun.

00:05:44.800 I mean, it looks like a really powerful, spooky gun.

00:05:48.080 Oh, it's black, so it must be spooky. 1.00

00:05:50.280 What a racist thing to say about guns.

00:05:52.340 Yes, but it fires kinetic rounds.

00:05:58.220 But the best thing is, it fires pepper or tear gas.

00:06:03.100 So if you're out, she's out and about, and she sees something going on coming her way,

00:06:07.380 she can just hit them with pepper, pepper spray, or tear gas. 1.00

00:06:11.380 And it is really accurate, up to 60 feet away.

00:06:14.440 And it incapacitates people for about 40 minutes.

00:06:17.280 So you're okay.

00:06:18.180 Call the police.

00:06:18.840 All right, Berna, get one for you, your family.

00:06:22.860 Keep it on you.

00:06:23.980 I carry mine all the time.

00:06:25.520 It's the Berna Launcher.

00:06:38.200 Hello, Stu.

00:06:39.300 Glenn, how are you?

00:06:41.060 Oh, my gosh.

00:06:42.880 I'm just fabulous.

00:06:44.360 Just fabulous.

00:06:45.180 I'm actually in a really good mood.

00:06:46.240 Last night we cut the first special that we're doing.

00:06:51.380 It's a first podcast, very different than anything we've done before, you know, in my career.

00:06:57.560 This was a podcast that will be one of the first ones on the torch that launches in January.

00:07:03.300 And it was with Emma Nissen, who is this new singer-songwriter.

00:07:08.440 And she is amazing.

00:07:09.980 She's 25 years old and just really, really humble.

00:07:15.300 She's like, I don't know.

00:07:16.240 I'm 25.

00:07:16.960 She's like, you know, people are asking me, what do you think about this?

00:07:19.720 What do you think about that?

00:07:20.460 And she's like, I have no idea.

00:07:21.860 I'm 25 years old.

00:07:23.240 I'm just, I don't know anything yet.

00:07:25.460 I'm, you know, I think I might know a thing or two, but don't ask me.

00:07:30.520 I don't know.

00:07:31.360 I'm still figuring it out.

00:07:33.100 Really humble, really fascinating, very funny.

00:07:36.600 And she was up at the ranch yesterday and she sat down at the piano and it was like, I mean, Jason, you were there.

00:07:44.240 And you said it was like old days of MTV.

00:07:47.600 Back when MTV was cool, like Stuart will remember this, like Unplugged was must-watch TV.

00:07:54.040 Remember Nirvana when they sang all apologies?

00:07:56.660 That was like this, but for entire podcast length.

00:08:00.080 I was like fascinated.

00:08:01.360 It was so great.

00:08:01.940 Yeah, it was really good.

00:08:02.600 It was really good.

00:08:03.860 Anyway, so let me talk to you a little bit about America First and what America First really means.

00:08:11.320 I have always said that we have to protect our borders and stop letting people in because if we don't, we're going to end up like California. 1.00

00:08:20.860 California is out of money.

00:08:22.700 It's out of control.

00:08:24.080 They can't control their streets.

00:08:25.920 They can't afford their schools.

00:08:27.420 They can't afford their hospitals.

00:08:29.260 And so what happens?

00:08:30.720 California falls apart.

00:08:32.240 Well, California is a very important state.

00:08:35.400 It's like the eighth largest economy in the world.

00:08:37.920 You can't just let that fall apart.

00:08:39.900 But that's what's happening.

00:08:41.720 And they do it by making bad decision after bad decision after bad decision.

00:08:45.500 And many of those are because they're not putting Californians first.

00:08:50.980 In this case, they're putting foreigners first. 1.00

00:08:53.680 They're putting politicians first. 0.86

00:08:56.640 America First doesn't mean you don't like immigrants.

00:09:01.540 America First means let's have some order as they're coming in.

00:09:06.020 Because, you know, it's why the lifeboats on the Titanic, some of them were half empty.

00:09:15.740 Because they had to get away from the boat as it sank.

00:09:19.840 Early on, you could have filled the boats.

00:09:22.420 But everybody was like, I don't know if I'm going to.

00:09:24.560 It's unsinkable.

00:09:25.620 I don't know if I'm going to get on it.

00:09:26.860 And so they were launched and half the boats were empty or, you know, half empty.

00:09:32.440 And they couldn't go back once everybody was in the water because they would have been swamped.

00:09:37.680 People would have rocked it and turned the boat over and then everybody would have died.

00:09:42.140 You have to take care of the lifeboat.

00:09:45.180 We are the world's lifeboat.

00:09:48.020 Always have been.

00:09:49.740 You know, when push comes to shove, Americans show up.

00:09:53.300 When nobody's showing up to help feed people, we're the first to show up.

00:09:58.600 We're a lifeboat.

00:09:59.800 You're not going to help anyone who is truly in need if we swamp the lifeboats.

00:10:06.080 But let me explain America First because you just saw it in action this week with Donald Trump.

00:10:11.000 And the way I believe he interprets America First.

00:10:13.620 In 2008, what was America hoping for with Barack Obama?

00:10:20.500 What were we sold in 2008?

00:10:22.560 We were sold hope and change, right?

00:10:25.580 And what was that?

00:10:26.960 We were tired of the endless wars.

00:10:29.720 We were tired of being lied to because, remember, it was we were lied to about Iraq and, you know, the weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein had, etc., etc.

00:10:38.820 We were tired of the cabal running everything.

00:10:42.100 And so Barack Obama says, hope and change.

00:10:46.980 I'm going to be transparent.

00:10:49.360 We're going to stop all of these wars and everything else.

00:10:53.020 And then what did we get?

00:10:55.380 He didn't stop the wars.

00:10:57.820 He didn't stop the wars.

00:10:59.140 Instead, he started droning people, you know, killing people in drones from the sky.

00:11:05.800 And he just had a kill list.

00:11:07.420 Literally, that's what it was called, a kill list that he would go over.

00:11:10.580 And I think it was Brennan that actually was in charge of that kill list.

00:11:13.880 But that's a different story.

00:11:14.840 Then we also had Clinton and Soros.

00:11:18.520 Hillary Clinton and George Soros, they got together, started Media Matters, and then they were selling us out.

00:11:31.340 They were doing the NGOs that we now know about.

00:11:34.520 They were overthrowing governments at the time.

00:11:36.620 And it was all secret and secret deals and CIA operations and the Arab Spring and Ukraine, the Maidan revolution.

00:11:45.100 That was us.

00:11:45.860 If you've watched any of my specials on Ukraine over the years, you know the whole story.

00:11:53.660 That was us that did that.

00:11:56.220 Then we flipped the Smith-Munt Modernization Act, and we made it legal to do propaganda on the American people.

00:12:07.000 That thing has to be overturned again.

00:12:09.600 That's not transparency.

00:12:11.440 That's not hope.

00:12:12.760 That's not change.

00:12:13.760 And then it just started getting worse and worse.

00:12:16.680 Edward Snowden comes out.

00:12:18.580 He says the deep state, and the deep state, the NSA, is spying on you.

00:12:23.880 And they're collecting all of your information.

00:12:27.180 And the press, no hope and change there, no transparency there.

00:12:31.560 The press makes him into a monster, and you could still argue whether he did the right thing or not.

00:12:36.120 But the information was critical.

00:12:39.820 And then we find out later that they were changing.

00:12:42.300 The FBI was actually changing documents to get it past our last line of defense on privacy, and that is the FISA courts.

00:12:53.100 So they were lying about it.

00:12:54.300 Clinton was making money with Gazprom and Uranium One.

00:12:57.720 And then we had global warming.

00:13:00.080 And global warming, all that was, was again about more money and more power.

00:13:05.080 ESG, the Great Reset, the COVID cover-up, the U.S. labs that were involved in this, and Fauci coming out and saying, that's a conspiracy theory.

00:13:16.000 And all of the media saying it's a conspiracy theory.

00:13:18.680 Why?

00:13:19.020 Because all of their sources in the government, which we now know were liars, they were telling them, no, no, no, that's a conspiracy theory.

00:13:28.460 They cared more about their plan than they did about humans, not just Americans, humans.

00:13:36.880 Now we have the immigration problem on our streets. 1.00

00:13:47.180 Now we have crime on our streets.

00:13:49.120 We have crime.

00:13:49.980 And what's happening again?

00:13:51.780 Is there transparency there?

00:13:53.480 Is there hope and change?

00:13:55.480 No, the hope's been taken away from many minorities and youth because you're either going to burn to death in global climate change, 0.98

00:14:02.940 or the white man's going to keep you down and you're never going to be able to make it.

00:14:07.540 Where's the hope in that?

00:14:09.840 Where's the change in all of this?

00:14:12.960 You can't say that it's, you know, replacement theory.

00:14:16.360 They're trying to replace new voters and bring new voters in and replace us.

00:14:23.200 Okay, can't say that because that's racist.

00:14:25.480 Well, no, I mean, I guess you could make it racist if you go back and you look, you know, in the historical use of that.

00:14:36.720 But it's clear now they're even saying it.

00:14:39.820 Over in Europe, they're saying it.

00:14:41.340 The elites are saying it.

00:14:43.960 Or you can call it an invasion, but you can't call it that either.

00:14:47.320 Instead, it's just poor, downtrodden people that all happen to be in their 20s and men that are coming from the Middle East, 0.86

00:14:56.800 coming from Marxist countries, coming in with gangs.

00:15:03.720 What?

00:15:04.900 How is this helping America?

00:15:10.780 Because it's decaying and rotting everything.

00:15:13.380 You know, when Gavin Newsom said this week that it was Donald Trump's fault because back in 2016, he let that, you know, he let that immigrant in. 1.00

00:15:23.680 Well, yeah, in 2020, he was supposed to leave and he never did.

00:15:28.920 And they were going to go after him.

00:15:31.400 But then Donald Trump lost the election and Joe Biden made it fine.

00:15:35.260 And then Gavin Newsom, the guy, the guy can barely speak English.

00:15:41.040 How did he pass his commercial driver's test?

00:15:45.100 How?

00:15:46.260 He didn't recognize over half of the road signs.

00:15:51.880 How did you get a commercial truck driver's license?

00:15:54.820 How?

00:15:56.000 Well, he lived in California, which is anything but America or Californians first.

00:16:01.720 Okay?

00:16:02.260 It's not even humans first.

00:16:04.500 Because they're killing people.

00:16:07.320 This guy killed three people.

00:16:09.380 Well, there's a story today about in, where is it, in, here it is, in Baltimore.

00:16:21.660 Kid has a crime spree in Baltimore.

00:16:25.780 18 felony arrests.

00:16:28.020 18.

00:16:30.160 He keeps being released.

00:16:31.620 Why?

00:16:31.860 Because he's 13 years old.

00:16:33.220 Spree of armed carjacking, robbery.

00:16:38.960 Do you think if I walked into Maryland and Baltimore and I was caught with a gun, do you think I would be in prison or here behind the microphone today?

00:16:48.320 I would absolutely be in prison.

00:16:51.420 This kid, 18 times.

00:16:54.040 But he's 13, so we got to give him a chance.

00:16:56.680 You used your chances.

00:16:58.640 Now he's out again.

00:17:01.640 His punishment, he's got to have an ankle monitor on him.

00:17:05.940 Violent crime spree.

00:17:07.900 How is that helping the people of Baltimore?

00:17:12.040 How?

00:17:15.780 They don't care.

00:17:17.000 Drugs, crime.

00:17:19.120 Doesn't seem like the left seems to care at all.

00:17:22.360 Put Americans first.

00:17:24.800 The gerrymandering.

00:17:26.060 What is that all about?

00:17:27.220 Why?

00:17:27.720 How can the left see what's going on and then make their whole thing?

00:17:34.480 We've got to pack the courts.

00:17:37.240 They're talking to us about how there's a threat to democracy because of fascism.

00:17:42.160 You want to pack the courts.

00:17:44.520 You want to add states.

00:17:46.920 And what was the other thing?

00:17:47.840 All so they never, ever lose again.

00:17:50.780 That's a dictatorship.

00:17:52.780 That's not democracy.

00:17:55.120 So the whole time this is going on, who is speaking for the average American?

00:18:00.800 Now, so Donald Trump comes in, and that's why he won.

00:18:03.960 Because he actually speaks to the average American.

00:18:08.380 Everybody in the press wants to make fun of him.

00:18:12.180 Why?

00:18:13.300 Well, he talks funny.

00:18:14.580 You know, he's like your uncle that's in the bar and just talking to everybody.

00:18:19.500 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:18:20.920 Just like your uncle, just like your dad, just like a friend that you know, he's speaking the language of the average person because he's recognizing, look what's happening in Washington, D.C.

00:18:33.580 He's recognizing that crime on the street is not just about crime.

00:18:38.320 And it's certainly not about putting black people in jail.

00:18:42.520 Who are the ones that are saying there's no problem?

00:18:45.040 The white elites in Washington.

00:18:47.800 The black population.

00:18:49.300 They're the ones who are saying, thank, thank you, thank you.

00:18:54.280 Because it's not just crime.

00:18:56.440 It's quality of life.

00:18:58.080 So now, how does this wrap into America first?

00:19:04.920 How does this wrap up into the weekend?

00:19:07.380 I'll show you in 60 seconds.

00:19:09.520 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

00:19:11.340 It's Cozy Earth.

00:19:12.760 You might not know it to look at me, but I know comfort when I see it.

00:19:17.440 I know, I know.

00:19:19.240 You know, you look at me on the outside, I'm just this chiseled mountain of a man.

00:19:23.200 But, you know, I don't sleep on boulders and brush my teeth with pine trees.

00:19:27.960 No, I don't do it.

00:19:29.260 I don't do it.

00:19:30.040 I'm a real softy.

00:19:31.320 And I like comfort.

00:19:32.840 Sheets, cozier sheets, soft, cool, smooth, the kind of comfort that makes you wonder why you ever settled for anything less.

00:19:40.460 Look, a guy can split firewood all day.

00:19:43.320 He can fix his own truck, but he can still appreciate sheets that feel like they were made for a king.

00:19:48.320 When I say fix his own truck and split firewood, I'm definitely not talking about me.

00:19:52.080 I'm talking probably more about you.

00:19:53.600 You're more of a man.

00:19:54.740 But you still can appreciate great sleeps because when it comes to sleeping, when it comes to having something that wicks the sweat off of you at night or even their clothing that keeps you dry during the day and cool, Cozy Earth has it.

00:20:23.360 Ten seconds, Station ID.

00:20:24.480 So yesterday, around this time, I told you that American leadership is back.

00:20:40.940 That was very clear when you saw all the leaders of Europe sitting around, like they were called to the principal's office, sitting around the resolute desk in the Oval Office.

00:20:49.180 And I told you that the president now is keeping his own counsel.

00:20:52.840 He is counseling with others.

00:20:54.720 But when it comes time, he knows his own mind and he moves forward on things, which is very important in a president.

00:21:03.940 Let me talk to you now about America first.

00:21:06.600 America first.

00:21:07.780 Everybody says, oh, we're isolationists.

00:21:10.320 We don't want to get involved.

00:21:11.740 It's everybody else's problem.

00:21:13.140 Keep us out of it.

00:21:14.060 Well, yeah, that is part of it.

00:21:17.320 But Donald Trump also is taking a leadership role.

00:21:23.180 Right?

00:21:24.240 Is there any doubt he's taking a leadership role?

00:21:27.700 How is that America first? 0.96

00:21:30.140 It's clear.

00:21:32.320 America first does not mean we don't get involved.

00:21:35.400 It means we lead.

00:21:37.640 Yes, we sit down at the table when we can.

00:21:41.580 But what is he doing?

00:21:42.480 He's putting a coalition together where all the other presidents, and this last one included, they would have just given money to Ukraine.

00:21:52.320 They were doing it, bleeding us dry.

00:21:54.600 When you guys in Europe, you're closer to the problem.

00:21:57.620 It's more of a problem for you than it is for us.

00:22:00.100 Why are we footing the bill?

00:22:02.180 Why are we the ones that would have to send our troops in?

00:22:05.180 It's closer to you.

00:22:06.360 Every time we have had a coalition of the willing, it's a bunch of flags.

00:22:12.120 But we're doing all the heavy lifting.

00:22:14.360 France sent four soldiers as part of the coalition of the willing.

00:22:17.960 Donald Trump is building a coalition, and he's leading the coalition, but it's not our treasure, and it's not our people that are doing all the work.

00:22:31.260 So, that's America first. 0.97

00:22:35.340 Take care of the homeland.

00:22:37.280 Take care of our budget, which is another problem that we have to talk about.

00:22:41.600 Take care of our budget.

00:22:42.900 Take care of our streets.

00:22:44.260 Take care of our crime, our schools.

00:22:46.540 Make sure our borders are secure.

00:22:48.380 Pay attention to those things first, so we can be very healthy, while at the same time, be healthy enough to be able to lead the rest of the world.

00:23:01.740 If anyone thinks that Donald Trump is not engaged in the rest of the world, were you watching anything that happened this weekend?

00:23:15.800 Have you seen him flying all over the world and stopping and making peace in places that haven't had peace forever?

00:23:24.000 He's leading, and he's saying, this is good for America as well.

00:23:30.900 But what we can add is to sit down and talk to you.

00:23:35.660 We can sit down and try to broker the deal.

00:23:38.900 We can be the trusted third party here.

00:23:42.360 That makes America safe.

00:23:44.520 It makes the world safe.

00:23:46.140 It saves lives.

00:23:48.000 And that, indeed, I believe, is America first. 0.88

00:23:51.640 Take care of your problems at home so we can help others with theirs, but not doing it for them.

00:23:57.640 This is Glenn Beck.

00:24:01.060 All right, let me tell you about our sponsor.

00:24:02.440 It's Lear Capital.

00:24:03.280 I'm going to talk to you, hopefully, later today about inflation.

00:24:07.100 I'm very worried that inflation is coming.

00:24:09.220 You saw the producer's price index, which means how much does it cost to get the raw materials to make the things that you're going to buy in a couple of months.

00:24:18.880 And that has gone up, and it's disturbing to see that.

00:24:22.500 And so far, I don't believe that that is the tariffs, maybe a little bit of it.

00:24:27.440 I don't think the tariffs have kicked in yet, enough to know if that is going to be a problem.

00:24:32.860 Home Depot just said, you know, the tariffs, they got up, and I think we hit our limit on that, and so we are going to have to raise some of the prices.

00:24:39.860 That's inflation.

00:24:40.680 But there's also the underlying problem of all of our spending.

00:24:44.520 It's worse than it's ever been now.

00:24:46.860 Sorry, I love Donald Trump, but the Republicans have got to stop all this spending.

00:24:53.700 Inflation is coming.

00:24:54.900 Protect yourself, please, with Lear Capital.

00:24:58.180 I want you to call 800-957-GOLD, 800-957-GOLD.

00:25:23.360 And the crime spree just keeps coming.

00:25:41.920 Now we know, Brett Baer, Saturday, pulled over in Georgetown.

00:25:49.440 Why?

00:25:51.160 He was talking on his phone, and he wasn't supposed to be on his phone while he was driving,

00:25:55.880 which he pointed out clearly.

00:25:58.760 His Mercedes G-Wagon.

00:26:01.320 That's my wife's car. 1.00

00:26:02.900 That's my wife's car. 1.00

00:26:04.240 That was more, he was like, yeah, I got a ticket, whatever.

00:26:06.680 Yeah, I probably had some blow on me, but that's my wife's car. 1.00

00:26:10.040 That's definitely my wife's car, because it was a white G-Wagon. 0.99

00:26:14.920 And, I mean, it's clearly a girl's car, Brett.

00:26:19.240 Clearly.

00:26:19.820 I mean, G-Wagon.

00:26:21.000 Girl Wagon. 0.91

00:26:21.760 That's what it is.

00:26:22.540 You take it in.

00:26:23.480 You park it in the same parking spot every day.

00:26:25.480 It's the G-Spot.

00:26:26.940 We don't, you don't need a real big map on this one.

00:26:30.140 It's a JIC car.

00:26:32.160 At least in white.

00:26:34.140 I had so many additional jokes to add on to that.

00:26:36.620 I'm going to stop.

00:26:39.620 But, yeah, that was funny.

00:26:40.860 That did seem to be the focus of his statement.

00:26:42.600 I guess he was on the phone, and he wasn't supposed to be, so he got a ticket.

00:26:46.460 Yeah, that's illegal in D.C.

00:26:48.600 Yeah.

00:26:49.160 And, you know, good for them, pulling over Brett Baier and giving him a ticket.

00:26:55.000 Good.

00:26:55.440 I'm glad to see it.

00:26:56.380 I mean, you know, not that I want to see everybody.

00:26:58.320 You know what I mean.

00:26:59.460 Everybody, if you're breaking the law, you're breaking the law.

00:27:01.300 You get a ticket.

00:27:01.860 And it's good to see that they, that everybody is getting that.

00:27:06.920 They had 56 arrests on Tuesday night.

00:27:12.100 Don't have the number today, but it's probably about another 50, including an illegal MS-13 gang member.

00:27:20.760 Which, by the way, has MSNBC, you know, they're renaming it to MSNOW, right?

00:27:26.780 Yeah.

00:27:26.980 Have they thought about MS-13?

00:27:31.300 We give you the news headlines 13 times a day.

00:27:35.300 We are MS-13.

00:27:39.260 At least it'd be more accurate, really.

00:27:42.240 Really, it's pretty close.

00:27:44.400 It's pretty close.

00:27:45.220 That would be, it might be better, might be an actually a better name than MSNOW.

00:27:50.440 Right.

00:27:50.960 So, the stats in Washington, D.C., this seems to be working.

00:27:55.280 Robbery now is down 46% versus the previous seven days.

00:28:02.360 So, a week ago, the robberies have gone down 46%.

00:28:08.160 ADW, aiding dumb whites. 0.87

00:28:12.560 What is ADW?

00:28:13.880 Assault with a deadly weapon.

00:28:15.340 Assault, okay, okay.

00:28:17.220 Down 6%.

00:28:19.000 Carjacking, down 83%.

00:28:22.180 Car theft, down 21%.

00:28:23.280 Violent crime, down 22%.

00:28:27.320 Property crime, down 6%.

00:28:29.720 Now, here's what I don't get.

00:28:31.320 After all of those stats, all crimes, down 8%.

00:28:35.640 How do you have these huge numbers and then it's all crime is only down 8%?

00:28:41.500 Yeah, maybe, you know what, maybe, you know, people like Brett Baer with his phone is up

00:28:50.280 like 45% and that's offsetting it.

00:28:53.060 Yeah, maybe that's what it is.

00:28:54.760 Maybe that's what it is.

00:28:56.440 You know, of course, I don't know, because I'm sure there's a law in Washington, D.C.

00:29:00.860 You know, you can't hitch your horse to like a lamp post.

00:29:04.800 Right.

00:29:05.220 You know, I'm sure that's still on there.

00:29:07.220 Yeah.

00:29:07.380 And that's probably gone through the roof.

00:29:09.520 I was talking to Drew Holden yesterday, a writer, and he lives in D.C.

00:29:14.460 And he was talking about the crime problem, and he described a situation near his house

00:29:19.100 where a park was closed, one of their local parks that you could go and take a walk and

00:29:24.340 walk your dog or whatever, and it was closed.

00:29:26.400 Why was it closed?

00:29:27.720 Because several hundred teenagers decided to schedule a quote-unquote fight in the park. 0.63

00:29:34.880 So there was a massive brawl that broke out in this park, which meant they had to close

00:29:40.200 the entire park.

00:29:41.280 Now, that's not going to be 200 crimes, right?

00:29:44.500 That's not how that's going to be.

00:29:45.420 No, it'll be probably one or two.

00:29:45.880 It's probably maybe one or two.

00:29:48.140 However, it totally disrupted the lives of the people who lives around this park, right?

00:29:52.060 See, that's what people are missing.

00:29:55.040 You know, Ricky told us that a friend of hers was robbed.

00:29:58.740 Somebody came up, took their wallet.

00:30:00.980 He didn't even report it to the police.

00:30:02.560 He's like, what are they going to do?

00:30:03.600 They're never going to find my wallet.

00:30:04.620 I'm not going to waste my time.

00:30:06.160 So he didn't even report it.

00:30:07.300 I don't know what crime this would be, but I've told you the story last time I was in

00:30:12.140 Washington, D.C.

00:30:12.780 My wife and I are just walking down the street and a guy on a bike, a big black guy who looked

00:30:17.980 insane, and I think he was, seriously disturbed.

00:30:21.680 But he rides his bike around.

00:30:23.000 He's like, today's the day I'm going to kill me a white guy. 0.74

00:30:27.260 I'm going to kill me a white man today. 0.98

00:30:29.260 And he's pointing at me, and I'm like, well, too bad you don't see just behind me about

00:30:36.260 20 steps or two armed security guys.

00:30:39.340 So give it a whirl, Jack.

00:30:41.320 But I didn't report that.

00:30:43.860 And I think that kind of stuff happens to people all the time in Washington, D.C.

00:30:48.180 It's a quality of life thing as well.

00:30:50.820 You just become used to it, right?

00:30:52.640 Like, you know, New York is a good example of this.

00:30:54.760 New York's murder rate, by the way, is one-seventh of Washington, D.C., but we did live and work

00:30:59.580 in New York.

00:31:00.760 One-seventh.

00:31:01.940 We did live and work in New York for a while.

00:31:03.880 And there's just, it becomes part of your life to ignore things that everyone else in

00:31:10.300 the country would never ignore, right?

00:31:13.520 Like you...

00:31:14.240 I'll never...

00:31:15.120 The best example of this, Stu, is you and I on the subway.

00:31:19.120 We were waiting for the subway, and you and I were just talking about something.

00:31:23.580 And we didn't realize.

00:31:26.020 We stood there for maybe three or four minutes, and I think you said, I think the big one's

00:31:30.740 going to win.

00:31:31.400 And I'm like, I have my money on him, too.

00:31:33.320 And what we were talking about.

00:31:34.640 We had not discussed it before.

00:31:36.620 We had been sitting there talking to each other.

00:31:39.240 But both of us, while talking, were watching two rats fight over like a hot dog wrapper or

00:31:48.040 something.

00:31:48.360 And it just had become...

00:31:50.920 And I looked at Stu, and I said, we have been here too long.

00:31:53.460 Yeah.

00:31:53.740 We got to get out.

00:31:54.760 When that's just normal, we've got to get out.

00:31:57.080 Yeah.

00:31:57.440 And I think that is actually part of this.

00:32:00.320 If you want to give a little bit of a break to the crazy people who are defending, you know,

00:32:05.940 Washington, D.C. as this bizarre Disneyland, you almost start to delete these terrible experiences

00:32:13.920 from your mind.

00:32:14.640 It's the only way you can deal with them.

00:32:15.660 Like, I saw one guy actually post, he's like, you know, I'm sick of all these Republicans

00:32:19.680 and Trump and MAGA people saying, you know, how terrible this city is and how much crime

00:32:24.860 there is.

00:32:25.500 You know, sure, I've been mugged.

00:32:26.880 And yeah, I had my car broken into, but this is a great city.

00:32:30.120 And it's like, he had like really like just disjointed himself from those experiences as

00:32:34.880 if they didn't happen.

00:32:35.860 And as if that's normal for people.

00:32:37.980 Yeah, everyone goes through those things.

00:32:39.520 No, they don't.

00:32:40.620 Like, nowhere else I've ever lived did I expect that to occur.

00:32:44.200 But that's not the same, you know, which rat's going to win thing where you just get used

00:32:50.280 to it.

00:32:50.780 That's politics.

00:32:52.360 If you're mugged, if it were reversed and, you know, and crime was going out of control

00:33:01.280 and Donald Trump was not doing anything about it and this guy gets mugged, he'd be like,

00:33:06.000 of course, what do you expect?

00:33:07.360 The Republicans are in.

00:33:08.460 They don't care about us.

00:33:09.980 They don't care.

00:33:10.660 I mean, that's politics.

00:33:12.280 That's not just getting used to it.

00:33:14.080 Getting used to it is having to step over the homeless person or the drug addict or, you

00:33:20.740 know, walking down the street and seeing, you know, people that are all hunched over because

00:33:24.880 they're on, what, fentanyl or whatever it is, that's the kind of stuff you kind of get

00:33:30.920 used to and you just don't see it anymore until somebody comes to visit you and they're

00:33:34.940 like, you live here?

00:33:36.440 And you're like, oh, yeah, you get used to it.

00:33:38.860 You don't get used to being mugged.

00:33:41.020 No, no.

00:33:41.920 That's politics.

00:33:42.580 No, but, you know, like the person, was it a friend of Ricky's or talking about how

00:33:50.620 the wallet was stolen?

00:33:51.920 Like, it's an experience that you remember.

00:33:54.260 I mean, it doesn't necessarily ruin your life.

00:33:56.580 Like, it's an inconvenience.

00:33:57.800 It's a terrible thing to go through.

00:33:59.380 But you kind of just like work it into that city experience at some level, which is terrible.

00:34:05.540 Like, you know, I have friends who used to always talk about like the city and they appreciated

00:34:09.960 the grit.

00:34:10.780 The grit sucks, okay?

00:34:13.560 I don't want the grit.

00:34:14.640 The grit is nonsense.

00:34:17.040 It's a justification for what you have to deal with on a day-to-day basis.

00:34:24.340 Oh, it's a gritty city.

00:34:25.900 Yeah, getting mugged is, there's nothing, there's no charm in that.

00:34:28.700 I'm sorry.

00:34:29.720 You want to have a dive bar that you like attending?

00:34:34.020 That's grit, I suppose.

00:34:35.380 You know, going to a place where you're getting, you know, things stolen from you or you get

00:34:40.520 beaten or you get some weird fluid thrown at you and you don't know what it was.

00:34:46.160 Like, that's the type of stuff that happens in these cities all the time.

00:34:49.000 I know.

00:34:49.380 I know.

00:34:49.740 It's awful.

00:34:50.920 I know.

00:34:51.940 And that is the kind of stuff, you know, I was just, I just moved my daughter in.

00:34:56.260 I'm not going to say the town, but I just moved my daughter into a town.

00:35:00.560 Istanbul.

00:35:00.840 It's a college town.

00:35:01.780 Oh, I'm sorry.

00:35:02.800 I shouldn't have said it.

00:35:04.160 And it's this really nice, quaint, seemingly crime-free, I mean, it has other problems,

00:35:13.320 but I walked down the street with my wife.

00:35:17.180 We were going to pick something up at a restaurant and bring them back to the apartment as we were

00:35:20.840 all, you know, unboxing.

00:35:23.360 And I'm walking down the street and I said, this is what my childhood was like.

00:35:29.060 This feels like when I was, you know, late 1970s.

00:35:34.260 You know, as I'm coming of age, this is the way the country kind of felt.

00:35:39.620 It was generally safe.

00:35:41.220 In areas where I grew up, it was generally safe.

00:35:47.280 You know, it was clean.

00:35:49.400 People respected one another, generally speaking.

00:35:53.040 And I know that, you know, New York City was a hellhole at the same time that I was experiencing

00:35:58.140 that in the West Coast.

00:35:59.520 But you don't see that very often anymore.

00:36:02.540 And you forget until you go to one of these small towns and you're like, is, are they piping

00:36:10.520 in the sounds of birds and stuff?

00:36:12.880 Because it's like perfect here.

00:36:14.680 No, it's just a small town, you know, that hasn't gone to hell.

00:36:19.660 And you forget about it.

00:36:21.120 You really forget on how great that can be.

00:36:24.900 And you think about the people who are leading this country all live and work in a place where

00:36:32.780 they are justifying these terrible things occurring.

00:36:36.920 They're not living a life that so many other Americans are living in where their towns are

00:36:43.340 sane and they don't have to deal with murder rates seven times the rate of New York City.

00:36:49.160 So, you know, and this is the trouble with this, of course, in some way, is that Washington

00:36:53.860 has tools that no one else has, right?

00:36:56.960 Like they can call in the federal government to take over their town and bring a bunch of

00:37:01.140 troops in and do all these things that really that's not an option for a lot of cities.

00:37:05.360 They're stuck with the Mamdani's and the guy in Minnesota who, who is, you know, who is 1.00

00:37:11.720 now taking over their city and going to run it in the ground further.

00:37:14.420 It's going to get much worse.

00:37:16.860 Yeah.

00:37:17.260 One of the things that I thinking back to your story from Washington, D.C., just how prevalent

00:37:21.760 crime was there.

00:37:22.600 That guy that said that.

00:37:23.740 Because you were there.

00:37:24.380 I was there.

00:37:25.100 I was, I was standing near your security.

00:37:27.100 And he, you can tell they're so used to just, that's just the norm.

00:37:30.980 They can intimidate you.

00:37:32.140 No fear.

00:37:32.980 No fear.

00:37:33.600 And what cracked me up, maybe you didn't notice this, because we kept watching him.

00:37:37.660 He gave us that crazy eye, went across the street, looked back, and we were still glaring

00:37:42.420 at him as if we're not intimidated by this.

00:37:45.100 And he actually had this look for a couple seconds, like, did I not deliver the line correctly?

00:37:51.180 Did it not work?

00:37:53.300 And I, it just, it stuck out in my mind because if you refuse to be intimidated by this, like

00:37:57.660 the administration of Donald Trump is now, refuse to be intimidated by this.

00:38:02.620 And that is what they were doing it right now, essentially.

00:38:05.620 And their power goes away.

00:38:07.060 So in Washington, D.C., I don't carry a gun.

00:38:10.560 You know, I'll travel when I'm in a city like that.

00:38:12.960 I travel with somebody who has a badge and they can carry a gun.

00:38:16.260 And that was the reason why I wasn't really intimidated, other than, you know, go ahead.

00:38:23.900 But bring me the sweet silence, the sweet, bring me, please bring me the sweet relief.

00:38:28.640 The sweet silence of death.

00:38:33.540 Wouldn't it be bad if you get up to heaven and it is like, great, glad you're here.

00:38:37.380 There's an election next week.

00:38:38.780 But, you know, the average person doesn't have that.

00:38:46.940 Imagine, you know, you're walking your kids to school in the morning and they see that.

00:38:52.320 Did you see that guy?

00:38:53.160 Where was he?

00:38:54.340 That came up and he was homeless and clearly nuts.

00:38:58.100 I mean, that's part of it.

00:38:59.260 It's not just crime.

00:39:00.360 It's we have really sick people on the streets as well.

00:39:03.660 Um, and, uh, this guy comes up to a mom pushing a baby carriage on this, just on the street,

00:39:10.260 just walking by their own business.

00:39:12.140 And he gets in front of her and blocks the blocks are from moving.

00:39:15.460 And he's like, this is my baby.

00:39:17.620 Give her to me, give her to me and tries to take. 0.99

00:39:20.280 And luckily living in a town where others see what's going on and race to the woman's, 0.79

00:39:26.180 uh, defense.

00:39:27.480 I don't know if that would have happened in New York city.

00:39:29.700 I don't know if that would have happened in New York.

00:39:31.280 Um, you know, or Washington DC, uh, you know, it's, you don't dismiss the quality of life.

00:39:40.000 And I'm really anxious to see what happens in 30 days, because in 30 days, this is going

00:39:46.220 to Trump loses the ability to do this without Congress acting.

00:39:50.280 And I'm anxious to see, uh, what happens if he doesn't get that ability and it goes back

00:39:56.540 to the way it was.

00:39:57.480 I think the people in Washington DC are going to be really pissed at the Democrats.

00:40:02.660 All right.

00:40:03.260 Back in just a minute.

00:40:04.300 Let me tell you about Z factor.

00:40:05.740 A lot of time when people can't sleep, they just tend to shrug it off and say, it's fine.

00:40:09.600 I'll sleep when I'm dead.

00:40:10.720 It used to be my motto.

00:40:12.380 Um, but you really don't sleep when you're dead.

00:40:14.620 Do you?

00:40:15.260 No, you're too busy campaigning.

00:40:17.020 On those politics from heaven.

00:40:23.120 The, the whole horror movie starts with somebody that has spent too many nights staring at a

00:40:28.600 ceiling and thinking, you know, I'm just going to tough it out.

00:40:31.280 Your brain gets mulched.

00:40:33.540 I mean, it just becomes it.

00:40:35.020 You can't file the things away.

00:40:36.900 Your brain while you're working files things away quickly, temporarily until you sleep.

00:40:41.700 And then it cleans up the mess from the day.

00:40:44.780 But if you're not sleeping, you don't get that.

00:40:46.880 And so it just makes it worse and worse and worse and worse.

00:40:49.160 Thankfully, Z factor is there. 1.00

00:40:50.680 It exists to stop that apocalypse before it even starts.

00:40:54.380 It's a sleep stop supplement made from the makers of relief factor.

00:40:58.980 Uh, it is a formula that will give you the rest you need night after night.

00:41:05.480 When you sleep well, you wake up, refresh, refresh.

00:41:08.260 So sleep well.

00:41:09.740 First time Z factor buyers, you're going to get 46% savings.

00:41:13.460 It's $19.95 for a 30 day supply.

00:41:16.200 Go to relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-SLEEF, uh, for relief, 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:41:23.620 Call them now.

00:41:24.520 It's relieffactor.com.

00:41:26.200 You want the truth unfiltered?

00:41:30.940 Pull up a chair, my friend.

00:41:33.000 You're in the right place.

00:41:35.440 This is Glenn Beck.

00:41:46.740 We were just talking about crime and all the problems.

00:41:49.060 And, you know, there's a certain kind of crime that you don't see coming.

00:41:52.500 You know, nobody in a ski mask, no broken glass on the floor,

00:41:55.480 no sirens in the night.

00:41:56.660 And we're talking about just a quiet transaction buried in a courthouse record of a government

00:42:00.500 database.

00:42:01.580 And suddenly someone else's name is on your deed.

00:42:04.900 And the worst part, you probably don't even know until it's too late.

00:42:08.480 Imagine the feeling when the bank calls and they're going to saying, Hey, you're behind

00:42:11.820 on your loan.

00:42:12.860 You know, that you, you know, never took out.

00:42:14.700 That's not paranoia.

00:42:15.720 That's what happens when your home's title is stolen.

00:42:19.520 The truth is your whole house is really just as safe as the piece of paper that it proves

00:42:23.600 that it's yours.

00:42:24.500 And in today's world, that paper lives online exposed to cyber criminals who know how to

00:42:30.720 exploit a system that's weak.

00:42:32.400 Frankly, it's, it's, you know, this is an invisible crime.

00:42:34.500 It's silent.

00:42:35.100 It's, it's devastating.

00:42:35.920 And that's why home title lock exists to stop this.

00:42:39.320 They stand guard over the most important documents that you own.

00:42:42.660 They watch the digital records and flag the suspicious activity.

00:42:46.220 Make sure that the nightmare of losing your home on paper never becomes reality because

00:42:51.000 it's one thing to protect your house from someone breaking in.

00:42:53.680 It's another to entirely protect it from someone breaking in on paper.

00:42:57.740 And then with AI, this is just getting worse and worse and worse and worse and worse and

00:43:00.820 worse.

00:43:01.400 AI is changing the world.

00:43:02.800 Do not let it change the name on your home's title.

00:43:05.140 Go to home title lock.com right now and use the promo code blaze.

00:43:09.240 There's a certain kind of theft that you don't see coming.

00:43:11.400 So make sure you protect yourself with home title lock.

00:43:29.520 Well, the end of democracy is here.

00:43:31.660 Can we play cut one, please?

00:43:33.400 It's here.

00:43:34.040 The end.

00:43:34.400 The way to preserve redistricting in the future is to make sure that that doesn't become the

00:43:38.780 case.

00:43:39.660 If California is, if a year from now or a month from now or if a week from now, if your cousin

00:43:45.380 is kidnapped off the street, if UCLA closes down, if we announce that there won't be an

00:43:50.620 election, if the census that we're relying on for the commission's next stab at redistricting

00:43:56.240 doesn't include 1.5 million Californians in it, if we have no democracy left, if we look back and said, if only we could have done something.

00:44:05.720 Well, the nice thing about this is that we are in a time machine.

00:44:09.360 We can do something.

00:44:10.420 Yeah, it's called redistricting.

00:44:12.980 That's crazy.

00:44:14.000 If you're kidnapped, it's because we didn't count the illegals as Californians. 0.86

00:44:18.800 Hey, I want to talk to you about my Patriot Supply.

00:44:22.120 When, you know, the bombs fall and the world is collapsing all around you, there's still

00:46:49.520 The shadows hide, feel the dark on every side, stand your ground when times get dark, gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

00:47:00.740 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:47:04.920 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:47:11.620 You know, when I was a kid, eight years old, I wanted to be a magician.

00:47:16.700 That didn't work out well.

00:47:17.820 But I learned something at that time called misdirection.

00:47:24.380 And it has come in very handy in my job because I have always said, wait, wait, stop looking where they want you to look.

00:47:32.400 What is the other hand doing?

00:47:33.880 Well, this week, we've all been looking at Ukraine and the war and Donald Trump and everything else.

00:47:41.660 What is the other hand doing?

00:47:44.440 This is very important and nobody's talking about it.

00:47:48.760 We'll talk about it here in 60 seconds.

00:47:50.880 First, let me tell you a little bit about Good Ranchers.

00:47:53.820 You know, the thing I like about Good Ranchers is their shrimp are from the Gulf of America and they're not radioactive.

00:48:04.340 You know, did you hear that?

00:48:05.840 The FDA came out yesterday and said, you know, some types of great value raw frozen shrimp that sold at Walmart might be radioactive.

00:48:16.720 Might be radioactive.

00:48:19.060 I tell you what, just ask when you're in the shrimp department, ask them, can you turn off all the lights?

00:48:23.420 Don't buy the one that's the glowing bag.

00:48:26.980 It's actually with cesium-137.

00:48:30.040 Stu, you're going to love this.

00:48:31.780 Do you know why?

00:48:32.440 Do you know where cesium-137 comes?

00:48:34.160 Do you know why they?

00:48:35.020 Because I looked it up.

00:48:35.740 I'm like, how are shrimp radioactive?

00:48:40.420 Do you know where that comes from?

00:48:42.260 I mean, they do use that in a bunch of industrial uses, but what's the...

00:48:47.180 Now?

00:48:48.440 What happened?

00:48:50.920 They say it is the after effects of the Cold War, Chernobyl, and Fukushima.

00:49:00.400 They say that all of those released small trace amounts of cesium-137, and so it settles down sometimes onto the ocean floor, and that's where the shrimp get it.

00:49:16.940 It's been a while since those...

00:49:19.400 Chernobyl's 1986.

00:49:20.440 I know it has, but...

00:49:22.120 Are you a doctor?

00:49:22.940 I'm a doctor, man.

00:49:23.800 I'm a scientist.

00:49:24.680 Are you a doctor?

00:49:25.740 No.

00:49:26.020 No.

00:50:01.860 Welcome to the table.

00:50:03.760 All right.

00:50:04.140 I want to talk to you about something that's right on our doorstep that I don't think a lot of people are watching.

00:50:10.700 I think it was Sunday, Saturday or Sunday, I read an article, and I just kind of skimmed it quickly.

00:50:15.860 And I filed it away, and it was, the United States is moving like a battle group to Latin America.

00:50:24.480 And I'm like, what?

00:50:27.020 We're moving a battle group?

00:50:28.300 What are we doing?

00:50:28.820 What?

00:50:29.320 We're moving cruise missile ships, like 4,000 Marines.

00:50:36.140 I mean, this is what you have when you have an invading force.

00:50:38.980 You know, when you're worried about something, you want to keep calm in some area, you know, we send them over, I don't know, cough the coast of Africa because there's somebody doing something.

00:50:47.460 And we send this group over, and we're like, hey, knock it off.

00:50:51.600 What are we doing?

00:50:53.600 Okay, well, it's not just to Latin America.

00:50:57.360 It's someplace very specific.

00:51:00.720 Venezuela.

00:51:02.340 What's happening now is not some distant strongman.

00:51:05.900 This is, battle lines are being drawn right now between freedom and chaos, okay?

00:51:14.660 This week, Nicolas Maduro, who was indicted by the Trump administration, I think in 2020, and then Biden didn't do anything about it.

00:51:24.540 He was indicted by our own Justice Department for narco-terrorism.

00:51:28.440 And he just responded to us and mobilized four and a half million civilian militiamen.

00:51:37.140 So he's now just kind of drafted four million men and said, you're a citizen, but you're also a soldier right now.

00:51:47.460 And he says it's to defend sovereignty against America.

00:51:53.780 Here's what it is.

00:51:55.600 He's trying to protect himself.

00:51:58.040 He's a dictator, and he's conscripting an entire nation because he knows the United States is after him.

00:52:07.340 Why?

00:52:09.600 Why?

00:52:10.340 Well, we have warships, three Aegis destroyers, and they're anchored right off his coast, and we just doubled the bounty on his head from $25 million to $50 million.

00:52:23.500 And, you know, at first blush, you're like, can we, what are we doing?

00:52:28.540 What?

00:52:28.900 What's happening?

00:52:29.520 I mean, we've lived in a time my whole life where we're like, you know, the government can do two things at once.

00:52:36.040 It should be able to walk and chew gum.

00:52:38.600 Well, we're not just walking and chewing gum.

00:52:40.700 We're walking, chewing gum, putting out, you know, the fire of a burning house, juggling flaming bowling pins, stopping a nuclear war, dancing the Macarena because everybody in Washington is like 8,000 years old.

00:52:51.980 We're building a death-bought army at the same time, fighting people that want to behead us, oh, and the Islamists, and redistricting Texas. 0.97

00:53:02.520 And we're doing it all at the same time.

00:53:06.380 Why?

00:53:07.740 I mean, we're living mission impossible except our Tom Cruise is 78 years old, which I want you to think about this.

00:53:14.000 I think Donald Trump is exactly who Tom Cruise will be when he's 78, just not stopping.

00:53:19.580 He's still running that weird run that he's doing.

00:53:22.960 Anyway, so Donald Trump is going after Venezuela for two reasons.

00:53:29.600 One, drugs, fentanyl and cocaine, much of it laced, much of it deadly, and it is being trafficked here in the United States by people who are directly tied.

00:53:44.000 To Maduro's government, and it's the so-called cartel of the sons, MS-13 gang members, all of this stuff is coming from Venezuela, and they are poisoning Americans.

00:54:00.180 And this is not just a foreign security thing or a foreign policy issue.

00:54:05.540 This is homeland security.

00:54:07.480 This is actually affecting us.

00:54:09.120 The second one, and I think this is the bigger reason of the two.

00:54:12.920 I mean, they're probably tied, but this is a big one that most Americans don't know.

00:54:17.500 Venezuela is not some backwater place.

00:54:20.840 It's full of oil, and it is a staging ground now for Russia, China, and Iran.

00:54:28.780 Hezbollah.

00:54:29.720 It has some of the worst people.

00:54:32.480 It's a beachhead for those people who want to see the United States taken down.

00:54:37.980 Oh, Glenn, literally a beachhead.

00:54:40.560 This is insane because I didn't even know a lot of this.

00:54:43.140 We mentioned this maybe a couple months ago.

00:54:45.260 Yeah, we did a – it was part of another story.

00:54:48.440 The Trende Agua stuff?

00:54:49.860 Yeah, that's what it was.

00:54:50.560 Remember that was coming out?

00:54:50.960 And we were like, wait a minute.

00:54:52.040 What is Hezbollah doing in Venezuela?

00:54:56.240 Oh, my gosh.

00:54:56.940 So I actually dug through congressional testimony to get some of this information.

00:55:01.740 Now, this is information the American public doesn't really know, but the government knows.

00:55:06.560 So check this out.

00:55:07.600 This is from congressional testimony.

00:55:09.460 In 2011, Congress testified what Hugo Chavez was doing.

00:55:14.960 Listen to this.

00:55:15.780 Just the year before in 2010, Hugo Chavez hosted something called the Secret Summit.

00:55:22.840 Like, literally.

00:55:23.620 It was called the Secret Summit.

00:55:25.520 Okay.

00:55:25.880 Guess who showed up to Secret Summit?

00:55:29.220 The Supreme Leader of Hamas, the Chief of Operations for Hezbollah, and the Secretary General of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

00:55:39.560 Oh, I thought you were going to say Satan.

00:55:41.480 I might as well have.

00:55:43.540 I mean, this is absolutely nuts.

00:55:45.340 And we didn't report on – nobody was talking about that.

00:55:47.440 How can that happen right off our shore?

00:55:49.900 Glenn –

00:55:50.140 And nobody's talking about it.

00:55:51.240 Glenn, it gets so much worse than that, if it can.

00:55:53.980 So, Iranians right now, with connections to Hezbollah, are on an island off the coast of Venezuela.

00:56:01.860 It's called Margarita Island.

00:56:03.480 Everyone should Google this right now and check it out.

00:56:06.060 Is Jimmy Buffett involved?

00:56:08.240 Jimmy Buffett would be nowhere near this Margarita Island.

00:56:11.060 All right.

00:56:11.900 The whole world is about to crash.

00:56:13.680 Yeah.

00:56:14.320 It's not 5 o'clock anywhere on this Margarita Island.

00:56:17.520 These are some of the things they're doing here, okay?

00:56:20.460 Again, with the involvement of the Venezuelan government.

00:56:25.040 They are, quote, running money laundering operations, establishing paramilitary training centers.

00:56:34.600 They are recruiting Venezuelan gangs.

00:56:37.060 And listen to this.

00:56:37.840 This is sending those people – this is like Trenda Agua – sending them to Iran for follow-on training.

00:56:45.920 Jeez.

00:56:46.720 This is happening right now.

00:56:47.940 Our government knows about this.

00:56:50.040 This is the only time I've actually seen them doing something concrete to combat it.

00:56:54.360 There's known about it since 2010.

00:56:56.480 2010.

00:56:57.100 There's known it since 2010.

00:56:58.960 You didn't know that.

00:57:00.340 Nobody's saying that.

00:57:01.280 When, you know, we've argued that, you know, Venezuela and communism and, you know, they were eating the zoo animals.

00:57:08.520 That's what happens, gang, when you go communist.

00:57:11.820 And full-on democracy.

00:57:13.900 They wanted full-on democracy.

00:57:15.620 And that's what you get.

00:57:17.080 That's, you know, hello, Maduro.

00:57:18.780 So when Maduro took over, he was kind of the Mamdani, if you will, of Venezuela.

00:57:26.360 He's just a simple bus driver.

00:57:28.320 Uh-huh.

00:57:29.000 And look what he's done.

00:57:32.040 That's the part we've heard about.

00:57:33.860 Then, when the border crisis happened, we started hearing about, oh, well, they're sending gangs in.

00:57:41.440 And they're sending fentanyl and everything else in.

00:57:46.040 We still are not talking about their connections to Iran and Hezbollah and how they have been training people and sending them here.

00:57:56.500 This is really not good.

00:57:58.600 So Donald Trump clearly knows all of this stuff.

00:58:02.780 And that's why he's offered $50 million for anybody that will turn him in or can tip us off to lead to the capture.

00:58:12.260 And now the reason why we're doing that is, you've got to remember, we've done this before.

00:58:16.920 Noriega was a guy that we, you know, was a drug lord and he was running a country and we said we've got to get him.

00:58:24.240 And we finally did get Noriega and he went to prison for what he did.

00:58:29.500 But the other times we've done that, Saddam Hussein, and even worse, Muammar Gaddafi, that was a Hillary Clinton and a Barack Obama nightmare.

00:58:43.500 And they drug his body through the streets because we assisted the collapse and it became a vacuum.

00:58:49.980 And now Libya is just a nightmare, just a nightmare. 0.99

00:58:54.000 So is Iraq. 0.93

00:58:55.440 We can't let that happen to Venezuela.

00:58:57.900 So we have to be very careful.

00:58:59.540 You can't just say, go get him.

00:59:01.260 We have to be very careful.

00:59:03.360 Unless the people themselves rise up against Maduro, unless the people themselves do it, this is going to be a really tough one.

00:59:14.980 But we have to stop pretending that this is somebody else's problem because it is our problem.

00:59:20.560 It really is our problem.

00:59:21.980 Those people are already here.

00:59:23.860 And we are also, you know, this one reason why I don't like it when people blame their problems on others.

00:59:32.660 I'm an alcoholic.

00:59:34.100 Now everybody says, well, that, you know, that's a familial thing that runs in your genes.

00:59:38.700 I don't know.

00:59:39.160 I don't think they've ever found that.

00:59:40.640 There's no evidence of that.

00:59:42.580 But you make a good case.

00:59:44.820 I mean, we're riddled with alcoholism in my family.

00:59:49.420 So, yeah, maybe, maybe.

00:59:52.240 But I'm the one who makes the choice, okay?

00:59:56.560 Yeah, maybe I have that extra gene that's working against me, maybe.

01:00:00.940 But I went into the bar, I went into the store, and bought the booze.

01:00:06.640 So we have to start taking responsibility for some of our problems.

01:00:11.400 It's easy to say Venezuela is shipping all this fentanyl into the United States.

01:00:16.580 We have to recognize that Americans are buying it.

01:00:22.340 Now, there's one thing to say about addiction.

01:00:26.180 Once you start buying it, then you're addicted to it.

01:00:29.280 And it is a nightmare.

01:00:30.840 I mean, the first time I had fentanyl, I wake up, I've woken up on the operating table two times.

01:00:38.280 They cannot keep me down.

01:00:39.580 My body just processes stuff, like, so fast.

01:00:42.940 It's a fast, high-functioning liver.

01:00:46.100 And I was in pain.

01:00:48.140 You might remember this if you've listened to me for a long time.

01:00:50.300 I was in New York.

01:00:51.640 And they put me under.

01:00:53.560 And then I got out.

01:00:55.040 And they were giving me morphine, I think, Percocet, and fentanyl patches.

01:01:04.540 And my doctor after said, why would you let somebody do this to you?

01:01:08.280 And I'm like, well, I was a little high.

01:01:10.220 And my wife didn't know. 0.96

01:01:11.960 I mean, we listened to the doctor.

01:01:13.400 That's when we really learned.

01:01:15.060 Don't listen to the doctor.

01:01:16.180 They don't always know.

01:01:17.480 But they had good intent.

01:01:18.980 They were just trying to keep me out of pain.

01:01:21.380 But the box fentanyl, I don't know if it still does, but if you get a box of fentanyl from the drugstore, it says, black box, you know, warning, for end-of-life use only.

01:01:36.340 Why?

01:01:37.560 Because it is so incredibly addicting.

01:01:41.100 You take it for a day or two, and you're done.

01:01:43.900 You're addicted to it.

01:01:46.780 So addiction is one thing that we have to deal with.

01:01:49.620 But we also have to say, Americans are buying this stuff.

01:01:55.160 We have to change our culture and start prosecuting people who are buying this stuff and treating those who are addicted to it and understanding with compassion, yada, yada, yada.

01:02:08.240 But we have to also, if you're selling drugs, you're involved in selling drugs, you should have a very, very long sentence.

01:02:17.280 Very long sentence.

01:02:18.240 You know, don't tell Donald Trump this, but, you know, China does not have a drug problem.

01:02:26.240 Because if you sell drugs, you're executed.

01:02:29.100 I don't even think you get a trial.

01:02:30.300 They just kill you.

01:02:31.980 Let's not tell Donald Trump that, because he might like that idea.

01:02:34.620 But fix it quickly.

01:02:36.860 Fix it quickly.

01:02:37.780 But we have to take responsibility ourself.

01:02:43.960 We have to be resilient as people in our communities.

01:02:46.860 We have to have strong families.

01:02:48.880 We have to have a citizenry that knows the difference between liberty and tyranny.

01:02:52.980 We have to understand that freedom does not come when you're on drugs.

01:02:56.780 It doesn't.

01:02:57.720 That is the worst tyranny.

01:03:00.280 You're a pharmaceutical tyranny.

01:03:01.900 You are a slave to whatever it is that you're putting into your body.

01:03:07.560 That's the real battle.

01:03:09.480 But there is another one off our shore that could heat up.

01:03:12.600 What do you think is going to happen, Jason?

01:03:14.220 Because this is a significant battle group, isn't it?

01:03:16.520 It's significant.

01:03:17.240 I mean, including 4,000 Marines, I was on a battle group like that, where this is the

01:03:22.500 same kind where we would go and just sit off the coast of like a Middle Eastern country

01:03:26.620 and just wait for something to happen.

01:03:27.980 When you were in it, weren't you off the coast of like Australia?

01:03:30.240 You were one of the first in after 9-11.

01:03:32.400 Yeah.

01:03:33.020 In one of these battle groups doing exercises in Australia, we got the call, went straight

01:03:37.680 to Afghanistan right after that.

01:03:39.160 So this is like the firepower that could do that.

01:03:41.480 So it's very intimidating.

01:03:43.160 I would assume that is the reason for this.

01:03:45.780 I don't think they'll actually be doing actual conflict-type kinetic stuff, but I bet that

01:03:51.720 it's supposed to mean to be intimidating.

01:03:54.220 I'm curious if it's supposed to lend support to maybe some of the ground people in Venezuela

01:03:59.640 to finally tell them, look, we've got your back.

01:04:03.060 If you want to do something about this and finally take your country back, now would be

01:04:06.960 the time.

01:04:07.500 Yeah.

01:04:07.660 Maybe we'd be a peacekeeper.

01:04:09.440 Yeah.

01:04:09.760 Maybe it would be a peacekeeping force.

01:04:12.020 All right.

01:04:12.940 More in just a second.

01:04:14.100 Let me tell you about relief factor.

01:04:16.160 Listen, if you live long enough, one of two things is going to happen.

01:04:19.260 You're going to hurt yourself badly or something else is going to hurt you badly.

01:04:25.540 But one way or another, your body just gets the nicks and the dings.

01:04:29.000 If you're really lucky, they don't both happen at the same time.

01:04:31.640 Maybe it was a fall.

01:04:32.400 Maybe it was a sports injury, a car accident, or just years of wear and tear.

01:04:36.840 But the truth is, as we get older, those moments don't fade away.

01:04:40.460 They leave a mark.

01:04:42.100 And what they leave behind often shows up as aches and pains, and sometimes it gets really

01:04:45.700 bad, and it slows us down.

01:04:47.020 And I don't want to slow down.

01:04:48.780 You know, I don't care how old you are.

01:04:50.640 I can guarantee you, in your mind, you're still 20.

01:04:53.720 You're still 19 years old.

01:04:55.860 You think your mind can do anything.

01:04:58.880 But your body is reminding you, no, dude, you can't do that anymore.

01:05:03.300 Let's take some of that away so you can do the things that you really want to do.

01:05:07.120 Take Relief Factor.

01:05:08.480 Get out of pain.

01:05:09.500 Give their three-week quick start a try.

01:05:16.760 800-4-RELIEF.

01:05:18.860 It's relieffactor.com.

01:05:20.720 10 seconds.

01:05:22.120 Take a quick break.

01:05:28.220 Now, in other very important news today, you know that I'm a fan of ice cream.

01:05:46.920 I love ice cream.

01:05:48.560 So, Brooker's Founding Flavors is one of the best ice creams I've ever had.

01:05:58.400 It's tremendous.

01:05:59.860 Incredible.

01:06:01.100 It's incredible.

01:06:02.660 And if I lived near one, I would be 8,000 pounds because that's all I'd eat.

01:06:08.440 So, I can eat pretty much any kind of ice cream, but I know good ice cream.

01:06:12.000 But this is an ice cream I don't think that I would ever eat.

01:06:15.560 There is a new ice cream that is being sold now nationwide.

01:06:21.360 It's new breast milk ice cream.

01:06:29.780 Well, why don't we just, you know what?

01:06:31.620 I'm going to have some breast milk ice cream.

01:06:34.380 I'm going to make a loaf of bread with some vaginal yeast. 1.00

01:06:37.620 And let's sit down.

01:06:39.020 I mean, what the hell?

01:06:40.420 Breast milk ice cream?

01:06:45.560 The company, the parent product company has teamed up with Odd Fellows Ice Cream Company.

01:06:54.640 Yeah, yeah.

01:06:55.720 I think that's probably an appropriate name for people like, you know what, Bill?

01:07:00.100 What, Bob?

01:07:00.900 We should make breast milk ice cream.

01:07:03.040 That's a great idea.

01:07:04.560 Yeah, Odd Fellows doesn't go far enough.

01:07:06.380 It's a limited edition flavor.

01:07:10.840 And it has lots of nutrients that, you know, you get in breast milk.

01:07:17.540 So, no.

01:07:19.040 Mm-mm.

01:07:20.500 You know, and they say it tastes, because I don't know, I'm not sure it's made entirely out of breast milk

01:07:26.520 or just made it taste like breast milk.

01:07:27.920 I don't know what breast milk tastes like.

01:07:30.960 I haven't had it for a very long, long time.

01:07:36.200 Who's the one that says, you know what, that's great breast milk.

01:07:39.680 Do you have to try a bunch of different, you got to go to the bar belly up and pull the pump on that one?

01:07:45.780 What, my gosh, what is wrong with us?

01:07:49.000 All right, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.

01:07:51.240 If I gave you a choice, you know, between having to get ready to move, but with a terrible real estate agent

01:07:57.280 and having to get ready to move with no real estate agent at all, which one would you choose?

01:08:02.400 Right, right.

01:08:04.800 I choose death, because both of them are horrible, horrible.

01:08:09.760 Trying to buy or sell a house, you know, without the right help is a form of torture.

01:08:14.180 It really is, because it's so hard as it is.

01:08:16.680 Good news is, you don't have to pick between bad and worse.

01:08:19.320 You have realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:08:22.480 Over a decade ago, my brother and I started this company, and we started it because we didn't know how to find a good real estate agent.

01:08:29.880 We were both trying to sell our house.

01:08:31.520 And so I started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, and that's according to the Wall Street Journal.

01:08:37.940 And I learned from them.

01:08:40.360 I asked them questions.

01:08:41.440 What sets you apart?

01:08:42.660 What do you all have in common?

01:08:44.340 Then we started looking for those people that have those traits in common, and those are the people we're going to recommend to you to help sell your house or help, you know, find a new house for you.

01:08:55.160 It's a free service.

01:08:56.080 I don't charge you anything for it.

01:08:57.520 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:08:59.560 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:09:06.620 It's every story we talk about every day.

01:09:08.880 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:09:26.460 It's Wednesday, our Wednesday night special tonight.

01:09:28.920 Really good one.

01:09:30.180 You do not want to miss it.

01:09:31.860 Tonight we're tying a few things together even further than we did last week on the Russia, Russia, Russia, and why it really matters tonight.

01:09:42.060 You don't want to miss that, and especially with everything that has happened over the weekend.

01:09:47.220 I can't take the press anymore.

01:09:49.200 I just, that's what we lead with tonight.

01:09:51.360 We have a little collage of how the press just said, you know, Donald Trump, he just loves Russia, and nothing's going to happen.

01:09:58.360 They were rooting for nothing to happen, nothing good to come about.

01:10:03.880 And I, you know, it's one thing to get a story wrong.

01:10:08.660 It's one thing to misunderstand or whatever.

01:10:13.840 But it's an entirely other thing to intentionally take things out of context, intentionally leave things off the table,

01:10:23.580 intentionally paint a picture that you know is not true.

01:10:30.840 The Smithsonian story that came out yesterday.

01:10:33.880 This is prime example of that.

01:10:36.540 Yes, this one really annoys me.

01:10:38.620 And this is a certain thing that mainstream media does a lot, particularly with Donald Trump,

01:10:42.840 in that they, it's a certain form of resistance journalism, if you will, where they don't come out and say,

01:10:51.540 Donald Trump believes slavery is good.

01:10:54.360 That's not the headline.

01:10:55.180 The headline today was, this is the New York Times,

01:10:59.140 Trump says Smithsonian focuses too much on, quote, how bad slavery was, end quote.

01:11:04.980 Now, that headline is very specifically crafted to present a couple of thoughts in your head, right?

01:11:15.020 You're supposed to think, wait a minute, Trump thinks he, the Smithsonian is focusing too much on how bad slavery is?

01:11:23.400 Well, what he must mean is he thinks it's good, or there were good aspects of it that they're not focusing on.

01:11:28.600 Or it wasn't as bad.

01:11:29.660 It wasn't as bad as everything.

01:11:31.220 Right, like he's making some excuse for the horrors of slavery.

01:11:36.660 And of course, if he did do that, it would be a story, right?

01:11:41.800 Like it would be a story if Donald Trump came out and said, you know what?

01:11:44.340 Slavery actually wasn't that bad.

01:11:45.900 It was pretty good.

01:11:47.040 Overall, a positive.

01:11:48.660 That's a real story.

01:11:49.760 Of course, he didn't say anything like that.

01:11:52.540 And we know that, you know, if you have a couple of brain cells, you know this for multiple reasons.

01:11:58.940 Number one, you might note that politicians don't say things like that.

01:12:04.760 Nobody says things like that.

01:12:07.220 But he says everything.

01:12:09.320 He just says it.

01:12:10.520 That's right.

01:12:11.160 He's the worst guy in the world.

01:12:12.120 And of course, that's the person this headline is designed to lead that horse to water.

01:12:16.940 That resistance warrior who already believes everything terrible about Donald Trump, this

01:12:22.500 is another thing for them to make them hate him more because they're the only people who

01:12:28.080 could possibly believe the spin you're getting from the times.

01:12:32.960 That water, they're the ones that are going to drink after they're led to that water, right?

01:12:37.320 Those people are the targets.

01:12:38.920 We know that politicians, even if politicians believed something like that, which of course

01:12:43.280 most people don't, almost no one does.

01:12:45.960 But even if a politician did believe that, they don't just blurt it out.

01:12:48.680 That's not the type of thing people do.

01:12:50.320 So you're supposed to think in the parentheses of your mind, you're supposed to say, oh,

01:12:55.060 well, he just let that one slip out.

01:12:56.580 He does believe it.

01:12:57.740 He normally wouldn't say it, but he just lets it slip out.

01:13:00.020 Another reason you should obviously know this spin is wrong.

01:13:04.160 Donald Trump has said slavery is bad over and over and over and over and over again,

01:13:09.540 like all other human beings in 2025, right?

01:13:12.780 He said it over and over again.

01:13:14.140 Now, in parentheses, you're supposed to think all those times were false.

01:13:18.360 So he was lying all the other times, but this one time he let the truth slip out, which

01:13:23.640 is that he thinks slavery actually isn't all that bad.

01:13:27.060 Now, both of those things are insane to believe, but of course, it's not the main thing that

01:13:31.320 should convince you.

01:13:32.620 It's the context of how he was talking about this.

01:13:36.280 He wasn't saying that slavery wasn't bad. 0.96

01:13:40.100 What he was saying quite clearly was the Smithsonian, an American institution, was focusing too much

01:13:46.680 on the negatives about our history rather than the positives of our history, and that

01:13:51.620 we should instead have more focus on the positives.

01:13:54.440 We know this because he actually said it.

01:13:58.100 He said, quote, his complaint was nothing about success, nothing about brightness, nothing about

01:14:03.980 the future.

01:14:04.560 In other words, this American institution should talk a little bit more positively about America,

01:14:09.240 not erase everything negative about America.

01:14:12.820 It's like if you went to, you know, the New England Patriots Hall of Fame and Museum, and

01:14:19.500 every display was about Eli Manning and Nick Foles.

01:14:23.100 It's like, yeah, they did have a couple of Super Bowl losses.

01:14:26.300 Sure, that's part of their story.

01:14:28.180 But if you looked at it and everything was about, you know, the Eagles and the Giants

01:14:32.700 winning those games, you'd have no idea that they had a dynasty in there, right?

01:14:37.140 Like, that they're one of the best football teams of all time.

01:14:39.780 You would totally lose that.

01:14:41.320 And that's the real story of America.

01:14:42.740 I know you focus on this, Glenn, because you, in your museum, do have a lot of things that

01:14:48.040 are bad about American history.

01:14:49.880 No, I collect, David Barton has collected so much of the good stuff, and I collect the

01:14:54.820 dark stuff.

01:14:55.440 Because if you don't, if we don't teach our kids that these dark things happened in this

01:15:01.980 country, two things happen.

01:15:04.120 One, they don't believe us on the good things.

01:15:07.400 When they hear those dark things and they didn't come from us, they just automatically

01:15:11.080 think, well, you don't, you're lying to me in the country.

01:15:13.600 You never told me about any of this stuff.

01:15:15.240 Okay, so you have to tell the worst parts of it.

01:15:19.340 You have to.

01:15:20.900 The second reason it is really important is if you don't teach that, you will repeat it.

01:15:28.540 Even if you teach it, we generally repeat it.

01:15:31.120 But you have a better chance if you can teach it.

01:15:34.840 You know, history, here's the problem.

01:15:37.940 The Smithsonian and everybody else is trying to make history about now.

01:15:45.900 Right now.

01:15:47.460 What does this mean right now?

01:15:49.880 I'm going to judge it through the eyes of right now.

01:15:53.820 Well, history is about the past.

01:15:57.940 It's about the past.

01:16:00.040 How did people think back then?

01:16:02.760 Why did they think that way back then?

01:16:05.660 Who fought against that at that time?

01:16:08.780 What was the real argument?

01:16:10.240 I mean, there are people now, scholars, who will tell you that Frederick Douglass never, never said a good word about the Constitution.

01:16:21.700 Well, that's just absolutely dishonest.

01:16:26.360 Frederick Douglass was a guy who said the Constitution is a slave document.

01:16:31.360 And then he was told by, I can't remember who, but he was told by, because we have the book at the library, at our museum.

01:16:38.060 He was told, read The Unconstitutionality of Slavery.

01:16:43.080 When he read that and then went back and read the Constitution in that light, he was like, oh my gosh, this is the greatest freedom document of all time.

01:16:52.120 But people want now, in academia and in our museums, they want to say no, because their goal is to get rid of the Constitution.

01:17:03.640 My goal is to make sure we don't make these same kinds of mistakes again.

01:17:09.340 I want to know the truth.

01:17:10.840 Let me be the judge.

01:17:12.440 Tell me the good and the bad.

01:17:14.040 Tell me honest history.

01:17:16.080 That's what I want to know.

01:17:18.140 They don't do that.

01:17:18.980 I was up at the Portrait Gallery.

01:17:23.160 Tanya and I had to go to the White House for something.

01:17:26.080 Oh, it was the interview.

01:17:27.540 And so we had a couple of hours before the interview with Donald Trump, and so I went to the National Portrait Gallery.

01:17:34.340 And now, Stu, tell me what you think might be in the National Portrait Gallery.

01:17:41.580 I would maybe guess that they're portraits of important figures in American history.

01:17:46.820 Uh-huh, uh-huh.

01:17:47.580 Now, portraits, okay.

01:17:49.940 First of all, it was the dirtiest, most filthy museum I have been in.

01:17:55.480 It was filthy.

01:17:57.880 It's like, I mean, we walked in, I thought we were walking in like some sort of employee door.

01:18:04.040 Honest to God.

01:18:04.900 You were with me, weren't you, Jason?

01:18:06.340 Yeah.

01:18:06.480 Um, it was like we walked in like the back door.

01:18:09.620 I really thought we were in the wrong place because it was filthy.

01:18:13.660 Nope, that was the front door.

01:18:15.180 So we get in and we start seeing, and there's portraits and they've got some really great art.

01:18:20.440 But you start to notice things like, wait a minute, this is the National Portrait Gallery.

01:18:26.980 Why do you have a 1970s girls swinger bicycle with Cuban flags and stickers of Che on it? 1.00

01:18:38.260 What?

01:18:38.380 What is that all about?

01:18:41.740 Okay?

01:18:42.500 And there was a good portion of the portrait gallery that was like that.

01:18:46.860 They had one room, and if you've ever been to like a science museum and they have a big dinosaur, you know, and they have all the bones up there.

01:18:55.120 Okay, it was about that size, and correct me if I'm describing this incorrectly, Jason, you remember it.

01:19:03.200 It was in the last room, this big, huge gallery, and it was, it was, it looked like bones, like a vertebrae, okay?

01:19:12.040 And it came out, and it was across most of the room, probably 70% of the room had this in the center of it.

01:19:19.780 Agree with that, Jason?

01:19:20.700 Yep, perfect.

01:19:21.160 And it was bronze or gold or something, and they were fists.

01:19:26.700 Well, what are those fists?

01:19:28.380 That was the black power fist given at the 68 Mexico City Olympics, okay?

01:19:35.460 Black power. 0.99

01:19:39.500 Hey, what did that cost us?

01:19:41.980 What did that cost us to install?

01:19:45.240 And what does that say?

01:19:47.840 What is that?

01:19:48.860 Again, completely, for no reason, out of, you want to do a deal where you're talking about, for instance, not maybe in the portrait gallery, but you're doing an exhibit on, on pushback, on rebellions, on people who have moved the civil rights for whatever it is.

01:20:08.800 That's where that's, that's where that belongs.

01:20:11.140 But it seems as though everything is telling us it's a bad nation and communism is neat.

01:20:19.400 This is our government's pay for, our tax dollars pay for this museum.

01:20:25.220 People come from all over the world to learn about America.

01:20:29.420 And all they hear about America is we're a bad place and communism is neat.

01:20:36.200 What the hell is that?

01:20:38.340 That all should be, I mean, I would, I'd give my right arm to be on the council of the art museum.

01:20:46.520 It would drive them out of their minds.

01:20:48.340 Out of the art museums and the Smithsonian.

01:20:51.340 I would be, I'd give my right arm and maybe part of my left arm to be able to do that because it's everywhere.

01:21:00.220 It's everywhere.

01:21:01.340 And I'm a guy who wants to tell the dark side of America.

01:21:05.080 But that's like if I said to you, I want to tell the good side of America.

01:21:08.340 We beat the Nazis and so every museum, the point of every museum always led you back to we built the Nazis because of the, we broke the back of the Nazis because of the greatest American generation. 0.53

01:21:22.880 That's one story of America. 0.74

01:21:25.700 That's not the story of America.

01:21:28.360 That's one story.

01:21:30.360 You want to tell slavery, tell both sides of slavery, not just the horrors of slavery, but the miracle of those who were white, who stood up and tried to stop it. 0.61

01:21:45.660 Tell the story about how our founders sent out an armada.

01:21:51.280 This is 18, early 1800s.

01:21:54.180 We sent out an armada because we stopped the slave trade in America.

01:21:58.980 We said there's no more slave trade.

01:22:01.060 If you're born here, then that's fine.

01:22:02.840 But it was a compromise.

01:22:04.320 It was a progressive move.

01:22:07.200 Take it a little bit at a time.

01:22:09.360 And so what they did, because the slave trade was still going on, we, our Navy, sent ships off the coast of Africa.

01:22:17.540 And they were there for, I don't want to say because I'm going to get this wrong, somebody will fact check me, but a long time.

01:22:23.060 And all they were doing was, if there were slave ships that were coming out, they'd turn them around and say, go back to Africa.

01:22:31.320 Okay?

01:22:32.320 Do you even know that story?

01:22:34.360 Do you know the story about our pilgrims arresting the captain?

01:22:38.940 Our pilgrims arresting a captain of a slave ship and then taking up a collection amongst themselves, restocking that ship with more food, cleaning it up, taking everybody out of chains, hiring a new captain with their poor people, with their money, and sending them back home to Africa. 0.88

01:23:02.400 Do you know that story?

01:23:04.060 Why?

01:23:04.580 Why isn't our museum telling that story?

01:23:06.960 I absolutely want the story of slavery told.

01:23:10.580 But I want it to be told in context.

01:23:13.760 And it's not the story of America.

01:23:17.260 It is one of the stories of America.

01:23:20.920 That, thank God, we fought, we're the only country in mass where one race of people fought and died for the freedom of another race of people.

01:23:32.740 We're the only ones.

01:23:35.320 So please, give it a rest.

01:23:38.500 So dishonest.

01:23:39.720 So dishonest.

01:23:40.760 You know what?

01:23:41.140 I want to come back to the New York Times on this in just a second.

01:23:44.080 Jeez, Stu, you got me all riled up now.

01:23:45.920 Let me tell you about rough greens.

01:23:47.480 Ever notice how dogs have this magical ability to be happy with almost anything?

01:23:51.900 You throw them a stick, they're thrilled.

01:23:53.360 Drop a piece of a carrot on the floor.

01:23:54.860 They think it's a treasure until they actually put it in their mouth and then they go, oh, God.

01:23:58.160 The kibble food, kibble food, they eat it.

01:24:03.660 And they might even, you might even think they like it.

01:24:06.620 I never thought that with Uno.

01:24:08.240 He never liked any food that we put on.

01:24:11.740 Imagine spending your entire life and all you've been fed are crackers.

01:24:17.080 Yeah, it'll fill the belly, but it doesn't nourish the body. 0.92

01:24:20.320 That's what kibble food is like for your dog.

01:24:22.500 So you need the nutrition put back into that.

01:24:26.080 You need the supplement, and that's exactly what rough greens is.

01:24:29.700 It's a nutritional supplement.

01:24:31.180 You sprinkle it on top of whatever it is you're feeding your dog.

01:24:34.540 Vitamins, minerals, probiotics, all the good stuff that makes your dog's meal actually mean something.

01:25:04.680 We'll be right back.

01:25:21.840 You know, the New York Times has just stopped pursuing truth a long time ago.

01:25:28.640 It's why they can get away with headlines like this because the people that they have there now are just political robots.

01:25:36.860 I mean, the readers, generally speaking, are political robots because no thinking person could read that headline that we just shared with you and think, oh, well, that's true.

01:25:46.740 Unless you're a political hack or robot.

01:25:50.120 And the New York Times has made their readers into that.

01:25:54.660 We know it's because that's why they fire anybody who has a different opinion.

01:25:58.820 That's why they, inside, they say, we can't have that opinion on our pages of the newspaper because our readers won't accept it.

01:26:09.260 They are no longer open-minded on any front, which makes this even more nefarious.

01:26:16.020 I want to show you what's coming in October called Chat Control.

01:26:21.800 This is a really important story, and it jumps right off of the back of the New York Times story we were just talking about.

01:26:27.700 There's so much more to cover.

01:26:29.120 Stand by.

01:26:32.080 This is Glenn Beck.

01:26:34.640 Let me tell you, a pretty good rule of thumb in life is set it.

01:26:39.120 And forget it, whether it's automatic payments, smoke detector, insurance, having a plan in place for the kind of contingency that you need something in place because it gives you the extra peace of mind.

01:26:51.860 If you don't have that, when it hits, then you're in a panic.

01:26:55.820 I don't know if you've noticed, but peace of mind is kind of hard to come by these days.

01:26:59.140 We live in a world where supply chains snap, pharmacy shelves go empty.

01:27:03.440 You really know what's right around the corner.

01:27:05.680 That's why Jace Medical makes so much sense, at least to me.

01:27:08.940 They provide you with an emergency supply of antibiotics prescribed by doctors and ships straight to your door.

01:27:15.500 I have prepared my family for any eventuality, and this was the only piece that I couldn't get it answered.

01:27:22.580 I couldn't fix it because I'm not a doctor.

01:27:25.920 Well, technically, I'm, but anyway, you know, can't write prescriptions.

01:27:29.280 How do you keep drugs?

01:27:30.380 Jace figured all of that out.

01:27:31.800 I want you to go to Jace.com, enter the promo code BECK at checkout for your discount on your order.

01:27:59.160 You're in English.

01:28:01.960 Jace �ijn.

01:28:02.700 We'll be right back.

01:28:32.700 Entertainment and enlightenment, this is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:28:41.620 Stu, do you know who Jesse Owens is?

01:28:46.580 Sure.

01:28:46.980 And if so, who was he?

01:28:49.060 Olympian?

01:28:50.940 Yep.

01:28:51.220 American hero?

01:28:52.780 American hero, why?

01:28:54.140 Why was he American hero?

01:28:55.200 I mean, he won in the Hitler Olympics, if you will.

01:28:59.360 Okay.

01:28:59.660 Can you tell me who Tommy Smith and John Carlos are?

01:29:05.580 Tommy Smith and what was it?

01:29:09.220 John Carlos.

01:29:10.860 John Carlos.

01:29:11.680 I cannot.

01:29:12.120 I think you're exactly like most Americans.

01:29:17.940 And I want to show you why our lack of knowledge, because I couldn't remember, I know of them.

01:29:27.040 You'll know what they did as soon as I start telling the story.

01:29:30.460 But you don't remember their names.

01:29:32.820 Tommy Smith and John Carlos.

01:29:34.220 It proves a point. 0.83

01:29:36.680 Everyone knows Jesse Owens, but not these two.

01:29:39.180 And it goes right into what we were talking about with this smear on Donald Trump about the Smithsonian from the New York Times.

01:29:46.620 We go there in 60 seconds.

01:29:48.200 First, our phones are the Swiss Army knives of our modern life.

01:29:51.860 It really is.

01:29:52.400 It's our camera.

01:29:53.080 It's our map.

01:29:53.640 It's our wallet.

01:29:54.360 It's your calendar, flashlight, radio, TV, your alarm clock.

01:29:58.240 I mean, think of all the businesses that have been put out of business now because of our phones.

01:30:04.880 If they added a can opener, we'd never put the thing down.

01:30:09.080 Oh, wait.

01:30:09.720 We already don't put the thing down.

01:30:11.300 But here's the part nobody thinks about.

01:30:12.940 For all that power that little device has in your hand, the power behind it comes from the company you're paying every month.

01:30:19.240 And if that company thinks your values are outdated, they're using your money to push an agenda that works against you.

01:30:27.360 And you are a slave to that.

01:30:30.000 Patriot Mobile would like to free you.

01:30:32.760 Patriot Mobile is different.

01:30:34.500 They give you the same strong nationwide service, the same coverage that you rely on, but with a company that actually shares your values.

01:30:42.140 A company that doesn't just connect your calls, but connects with your beliefs and puts their money where their mouth is and their backs into it as well.

01:30:52.080 And switching is easier than ever.

01:30:54.240 You can activate it in minutes from the comfort of your home.

01:30:56.740 You can keep your number or your phone or both.

01:30:58.780 You can upgrade.

01:31:00.400 Time to make the switches right now.

01:31:02.240 You'll get your first month free.

01:31:04.300 Save money.

01:31:05.400 Work with a company that actually shares your values.

01:31:09.580 Freedom is a phone call away.

01:31:11.380 Go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT.

01:31:15.240 972-PATRIOT.

01:31:16.700 Use the promo code Beck to get that free month of service.

01:31:19.580 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

01:31:22.860 Okay.

01:31:26.160 We were talking last hour.

01:31:27.920 Summarize real quick, Stu, if you will, the New York Times article and how they are presenting this story about Donald Trump with the Smithsonian.

01:31:36.800 Their headline is, Trump says Smithsonian focuses too much on how bad slavery was.

01:31:43.240 And the controversy, of course, you know, I mean, that's specifically designed to make you think a specific thing, right?

01:31:51.440 Like, you're supposed to think he's complaining about how they're saying slavery was bad?

01:31:55.240 Well, what is he saying?

01:31:56.520 That he doesn't want them to talk about it at all?

01:31:58.700 Is he saying that it was good?

01:32:00.800 Are there good aspects of slavery, Don?

01:32:03.160 That's what they want you to do.

01:32:05.240 And, of course, there is a selection of our country that will dutifully do exactly that.

01:32:12.320 And it is really weird that a section of our country, much of it, has been led by the New York Times.

01:32:19.320 The New York Times is supposed to be the bastion of thought.

01:32:22.860 It's supposed to be fair.

01:32:24.480 It's supposed to be all the news fit to print.

01:32:26.620 What they just printed is not fit because it's not news.

01:32:30.100 That's a lie.

01:32:30.920 It's not news, period.

01:32:34.620 What he is saying is there should be balance, balance.

01:32:39.220 Why are we pushing this narrative that America is such a bad place and that we enslaved our people?

01:32:46.140 And that's the story of America.

01:32:48.160 That's not the story of America.

01:32:50.020 And it's not.

01:32:51.800 It's a part of it.

01:32:52.920 It's an important part of it.

01:32:54.280 But it's not the story.

01:32:56.860 So that's what he was saying.

01:32:59.440 That's the story they didn't want to print.

01:33:01.920 And they can get away with it because they know their readers want that hate on Donald Trump.

01:33:09.980 Okay?

01:33:10.140 And instead of having the backbone, the spine, and the integrity to say, I don't care what our viewers or our readers want.

01:33:18.140 I mean, how many times have we done this, Stu?

01:33:19.860 And it's caused us real problems.

01:33:21.360 I mean, we've lost millions of dollars over the years at different times because I have had a point of view and I know it's out of step with you.

01:33:31.040 And I've said it and I've said, you know, I know you're going to disagree with this, but this is, this is where I am because I believe that's what you come here for.

01:33:41.340 You don't, I'm not here to feed you what you want to hear.

01:33:45.280 You come here because you want to hear my opinion.

01:33:49.000 And it's just that, my opinion, my view of the world and its happenings and what it all means.

01:33:57.100 I don't expect you to agree with everything.

01:33:59.800 And the minute I want you to agree with everything or I want, I'll change my view so you will agree with everything.

01:34:08.980 I have nothing left.

01:34:10.800 I have nothing left.

01:34:11.840 And that's where the New York Times is.

01:34:13.620 Yeah.

01:34:13.780 What is the point?

01:34:14.580 Yeah.

01:34:15.200 That's, that's where the New York Times is.

01:34:17.180 Yeah.

01:34:17.400 And I think, you know, I, I, we obviously care about the country.

01:34:21.360 We care about these issues that we talk about every day.

01:34:24.140 And, and, and those are like, I don't know, macro concerns, right?

01:34:28.360 These are the high level stuff.

01:34:29.760 Everybody thinks about, you know, oh gosh, what's going to happen with the economy?

01:34:32.280 What's going to happen with our freedom?

01:34:33.300 What's going to happen with religious freedom?

01:34:34.680 Whatever the big issue we're talking about of the day is.

01:34:37.000 But there are also like micro things that you do that are part of your job.

01:34:40.400 And like one of the things that keeps me up at night is the idea of somebody in this audience walking to, walking into work and having a conversation with a coworker and repeating something that they heard on our show only for that coworker to say, what are you talking about?

01:34:59.820 That's not true.

01:35:00.600 And then prove it like that is a nightmare.

01:35:03.460 I've had a thousand times working on this show.

01:35:06.060 Yeah, me too.

01:35:06.520 I do not want to put our awesome audience in that position.

01:35:10.960 I hate that position.

01:35:12.000 I want them to know.

01:35:13.220 I want them to be the one who has actually you're wrong and here's why.

01:35:17.860 And then having them prove it because they have the facts and they, and they have it backed up.

01:35:22.540 And that's honestly why I have said over and over and over again, A, don't trust.

01:35:28.240 Don't take it from us.

01:35:29.120 Don't trust.

01:35:29.620 I don't want your trust.

01:35:30.640 I don't ask for your trust.

01:35:32.080 Your trust is nice.

01:35:34.100 I appreciate it.

01:35:35.380 I am honored by it.

01:35:36.720 But I'm telling you, I'll get it wrong.

01:35:39.320 And don't trust in men.

01:35:40.520 Men will always let you down.

01:35:41.980 Trust.

01:35:42.480 Trust in God.

01:35:44.580 Verify everything else.

01:35:46.020 And the only way that this truth, the only way you can fight for this truth is if you know it yourself.

01:35:51.520 So you might hear me tell a story and go, wow, is that true?

01:35:55.660 And then hopefully my ultimate view of what I do is I'm a gateway drug.

01:36:02.560 I get you interested in a story and you're like, that can't be true.

01:36:06.500 Or, wow, that's really true.

01:36:09.040 And you start going down this wormhole of history and you start looking at things and going, wow, you know what?

01:36:14.660 I didn't even know this.

01:36:16.020 Glenn, did you know this?

01:36:17.680 Because that's when life becomes exciting is when you're on a constant road of discovery and it becomes yours.

01:36:24.120 When people say, Glenn, I wish you were with me because I was talking to my friends and I couldn't remember.

01:36:28.800 You shouldn't have to remember.

01:36:30.780 And I know there's so much going on that you need us to do shorthand for you.

01:36:37.080 But the ultimate goal is to get you so you know it so well that you don't have to remember.

01:36:42.400 You'll know how to get on your phone and go, wait a minute, hang on just a second.

01:36:45.040 And you get on your phone and you can find the facts.

01:36:46.920 You can find the story.

01:36:47.980 You can prove it, as Stu just said.

01:36:49.960 Not with my words, but with the actual facts, with the documents, et cetera, et cetera.

01:36:54.540 And the New York Times is not expecting that from their audience anymore.

01:36:59.940 They're, in fact, expecting them not to do homework.

01:37:04.400 And it's doubly insidious because they are playing to their audience and they've sold their soul to that audience.

01:37:11.920 But then they also know that the New York Times sets the table for everybody.

01:37:17.500 Anybody who is a journalist, they look to the New York Times.

01:37:20.780 Is it in the New York Times?

01:37:21.920 Okay, then it must be.

01:37:23.100 Also, the New York Times, whatever they print, especially if it's got a catchy headline like that, it will go out and become very, very viral.

01:37:33.000 So they're not only scooping up the intellectuals that they've already scooped up that just want to hear that one side and point of view.

01:37:40.680 They're not really intellectuals anymore.

01:37:42.200 But also, they're getting the dummies on the street that only read that headline, who go, yeah, well, he's a racist.

01:37:49.040 He likes slavery.

01:37:51.120 Okay?

01:37:51.580 So it's just an insidious business that they're in.

01:37:55.620 Now, I just told you a minute ago what Donald Trump was saying, and I happen to agree with him.

01:38:02.780 The Smithsonian is a garbage can right now.

01:38:06.080 An absolute garbage can.

01:38:08.100 It's taken everything, and it has its own perspective, and that's what it's going to tell the world who America is.

01:38:17.800 I want to go to a museum where I learn something.

01:38:20.920 I learn something about the bad and the good.

01:38:24.060 We got it.

01:38:24.920 Slavery was bad.

01:38:26.220 We got that.

01:38:27.500 Tell me something else that maybe I don't know.

01:38:31.180 Okay?

01:38:32.680 Jesse Owens.

01:38:33.840 Jesse Owens, a hero.

01:38:36.140 Everybody loves Jesse Owens.

01:38:37.460 Why?

01:38:38.100 Well, it wasn't always that way.

01:38:40.620 You know, Jesse Owens, he didn't want to go to the Olympics.

01:38:43.980 He pissed everybody off because some people said he should go to the Olympics to show a black man can beat the, you know, the white god of the Germans.

01:38:54.640 And they wanted him to go to do that.

01:38:57.400 Others said he shouldn't be used as a tool of our government to do that.

01:39:03.500 And so, when he decided to go, he really didn't want to go because he just didn't want to go.

01:39:10.560 He wasn't, you know, he's like, I'm not a symbol.

01:39:12.820 I'm an athlete.

01:39:14.440 But he went.

01:39:15.800 And when he went, he became a hero to those who saw that and said, see, Germans, white supremacy, really?

01:39:24.300 Look at that.

01:39:25.140 Look at Jesse Owens.

01:39:26.620 But when he came back, he wasn't greed.

01:39:29.860 All the Olympic winners were brought to the White House.

01:39:33.320 Jesse Owens was not invited to the White House by Roosevelt.

01:39:40.760 Franklin D. Roosevelt, the god of progressives.

01:39:45.500 He wouldn't have that black man at the White House. 1.00

01:39:50.520 So, he was rejected.

01:39:51.920 He goes over.

01:39:53.160 He proves to the world that he is, that whites are not superior. 0.54

01:39:58.200 And then he comes back and he's rejected in his own country by his own president.

01:40:05.100 It's an incredible story.

01:40:06.960 He led a very tough life.

01:40:10.460 But as it went on, he became more and more a hero.

01:40:17.000 We recognize him now as a hero.

01:40:19.180 By the 1960s, the guy was absolutely known as a hero.

01:40:23.340 He was very patriotic.

01:40:25.520 He became an attache or a spokesperson or something for the State Department.

01:40:32.080 He would go around the world talking about America.

01:40:34.840 And yeah, America has its problems, but look at the progress we're making.

01:40:39.060 Okay?

01:40:40.160 That's what Donald Trump is saying.

01:40:42.480 Yes, look at the problems we have.

01:40:44.640 We should know that Jesse Owens was not invited to the White House by Franklin Delano Roosevelt at the time.

01:40:52.000 But he now works for the State Department.

01:40:55.840 And he's spreading the message that, yes, we did those things, but we're getting better.

01:41:01.760 Now let me tell you about Tommy Smith and John Carlos.

01:41:08.120 I told you that I was in the Portrait Gallery, which is a garbage can.

01:41:13.100 Not the art, but the building.

01:41:15.740 They have turned it into a garbage can.

01:41:17.960 It's disgusting.

01:41:18.820 And then some of the stuff is not about America.

01:41:24.940 Why, I told you, why is there that girl's bike, you know, with a Cuban flag and a Chase sticker on it? 0.60

01:41:31.540 What the hell is that?

01:41:32.960 And it's not just that one bike.

01:41:34.600 Because I could go into that room and go, okay, well, there's that bike.

01:41:37.320 And so let me figure out the context of it, et cetera, et cetera.

01:41:40.600 But by that time, I was so sick of all of the propaganda, I didn't care to learn about it.

01:41:47.520 And I went into one of the last rooms right before the bike.

01:41:50.940 And like the vertebrae of a dinosaur, there was these hanging from a ceiling.

01:41:57.400 They had taken the cast of, I think, Tommy Smith, who held up his fist.

01:42:04.140 It was one of them.

01:42:04.840 Maybe it was both.

01:42:05.520 But they held up their fist in 1968, say, Black Power, okay? 0.76

01:42:12.020 Black Power, that's Panthers. 1.00

01:42:14.640 They were terrorists.

01:42:16.760 So they hold up Black Power. 0.96

01:42:19.000 So some artists took the cast of both of their fists and their forearms and made it into this art sculpture where it's just an arm and that fist over and over and over again.

01:42:32.700 And they laid it out like a giant vertebrae of an animal.

01:42:36.260 And it takes up a good portion of this huge room.

01:42:39.820 It is the main feature of that room.

01:42:44.680 But you don't even know their name.

01:42:46.820 You don't even know their name.

01:42:48.960 Tommy Smith and John Carlos.

01:42:50.880 Why?

01:42:52.460 Well, I think you don't know their name because they weren't effective.

01:42:56.760 Why?

01:42:57.160 Because they were promoting Black Power, Black Panthers, terrorism. 1.00

01:43:04.720 That's not America.

01:43:06.320 That's not America.

01:43:08.120 Let me tell you another story that you don't know.

01:43:10.900 And if you want to put that vertebrae up, great, put that vertebrae up.

01:43:14.860 But I want this story told in the same room and prominently displayed next to the vertebrae.

01:43:21.060 Now, so Owens was not part, Jesse Owens was not part of the 1968 Olympics.

01:43:26.920 He was traveling around the world, but he was in Mexico City.

01:43:30.340 And I think he was at that moment in the stadium for the Black Power. 0.67

01:43:34.600 Okay?

01:43:36.460 And in Mexico City, here's what I, let me just say what I can verify.

01:43:41.080 I'm not going to tell you what I, the story I think how it worked.

01:43:44.620 Let me just, what I can absolutely verify.

01:43:46.360 After the protest, Owens met privately with Smith and Carlos in Mexico City.

01:43:54.020 Multiple accounts say he tried to counsel them, and his message was very different from theirs.

01:44:02.860 Owens urged them to avoid confrontation and to think how their actions would be perceived internationally.

01:44:09.720 He reportedly told them that they could accomplish more by working within the system rather than defying it so dramatically on the world stage.

01:44:18.380 Now, that sounds like let's have a cup of tea and just talk.

01:44:21.600 I don't think that's the way it happened.

01:44:23.620 This is my opinion.

01:44:25.540 I don't think this is what happened.

01:44:27.300 Because there are other accounts that said, while he understood the anger of the black American, because he had lived it, unlike they lived it, he had lived it decades before.

01:44:47.100 So he understood what they claimed they were going through.

01:44:53.820 In comparison to him, really not so much.

01:44:58.140 He was very upset that they embarrassed the United States and undermined the Olympics.

01:45:05.300 Remember, he's an athlete.

01:45:07.300 That's why he didn't want to go to the Olympics in Berlin.

01:45:09.060 He's an athlete.

01:45:09.740 He's not a politician.

01:45:11.420 He's not a symbol.

01:45:12.800 And he's like, you're undermining the purpose of the games in the first place.

01:45:17.700 It's the games, and it's a unifying thing where we bring all nations together.

01:45:22.660 And that's not what the Olympics are for.

01:45:25.440 They're not for political protests.

01:45:29.040 Okay.

01:46:42.760 Station ID.

01:46:43.140 So in 1968, Jesse Owens was seen as a model of racial progress, and progress had been made.

01:47:06.320 He was the African-American who humiliated Adolf Hitler and the Aryan supremacy narrative in 1936.

01:47:16.000 He then made progress from a guy who could not even go to the White House to now being part of the government, preaching patriotism and patience in the civil rights struggle all around the world.

01:47:30.200 Patience.

01:47:31.500 Patience.

01:47:32.860 This is what really hacks me off on this story.

01:47:36.320 Patience.

01:47:39.120 Why are progressives historically from the early 20th century, why are progressives called progressives and not communists?

01:47:46.680 Because you could call them communists or fascists.

01:47:49.160 In the early 1900s, that was the model they were going for.

01:47:53.180 Why aren't they called those things?

01:47:54.880 Because back in those days, that wasn't deemed a bad thing.

01:47:58.400 We didn't know yet.

01:47:59.300 They're called progressives because communism and fascism required a bloody revolution.

01:48:08.760 And so these guys were sane communists, sane fascists, if you will, that said, we don't want to have a bloody revolution.

01:48:17.420 We want to take it step by step, bring people along, have patience, and we will finally get there.

01:48:25.460 So that's the way to win, according to the progressive of the era.

01:48:31.700 What does he do?

01:48:32.820 He's saying, you can't do this.

01:48:36.380 You're embarrassing.

01:48:37.340 You're setting us back.

01:48:38.680 You're dividing.

01:48:40.040 Stop it.

01:48:41.960 Patience.

01:48:42.960 Which is a good progressive trait.

01:48:46.620 Hmm.

01:48:47.580 Which one won in the end?

01:48:52.300 Which one actually furthered civil rights?

01:48:56.380 The communist Black Panther Black Power guys that you don't remember?

01:49:01.220 Or Jesse Owens?

01:49:03.740 Because it's the same choice we have to make today.

01:49:06.940 Revolution or work within the system?

01:49:12.900 This is Glenn Beck.

01:49:17.580 You know, there's a ton of ways you can serve God every day.

01:49:21.700 You can sing his praises.

01:49:23.120 You can help the poor.

01:49:24.500 You can just live your life in a way that people look at you and say, wow, they're really a good person.

01:49:31.700 And they become curious of what makes you that way.

01:49:35.500 But saving one or two of God's children, a life made in his image, is one of the best ways I think we can serve him.

01:49:43.140 Every day, women in crisis, the first soul in crisis. 1.00

01:49:47.820 They're faced with a choice.

01:49:48.920 And many of them feel like they have no option but abortion.

01:49:51.880 Right now, nearly one in four pregnancies end in abortion.

01:49:55.320 One in four.

01:49:56.480 That's 3,000 lives lost every single day.

01:49:59.400 Pre-born steps in at that crucial moment and they provide a free ultrasound for mom, compassionate counseling, and the truth of what's really happening inside of her body.

01:50:09.200 And when a mom sees her baby, hears the heartbeat, everything changes and hope enters the room.

01:50:14.380 Life takes root.

01:50:15.280 The child is saved.

01:50:17.180 Double the chance of saving the life.

01:50:18.920 It's real tangible work here.

01:50:40.540 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:50:57.860 I want to play some audio from Stephen A. Smith.

01:51:05.000 We ain't going to act like he caused this now.

01:51:08.580 It's Democrats in office.

01:51:09.880 It was Biden in office when a full-fledged war against Ukraine took place, courtesy of Russia's instigation, no matter what they try to say to Trump.

01:51:20.180 It was Russia that invaded Crimea, and that was under the Obama administration.

01:51:27.040 It was Clinton in office when you made a deal that disarmed Ukraine.

01:51:33.560 And therefore weakened them, leaving them dependent on the United States.

01:51:37.140 And now, here they are, having to beg for support, that they're owed, because of what we promised them as a nation.

01:51:46.500 We promised them this.

01:51:47.880 I am so taken aback by the approach of the left right now.

01:52:07.400 I mean, here's Stephen A. Smith.

01:52:08.860 He's a Democrat, is he not, Stu?

01:52:10.320 Yes.

01:52:10.760 Yes.

01:52:11.440 Mm-hmm.

01:52:12.600 Yeah.

01:52:14.200 And he's just, he's losing his mind over the press.

01:52:21.920 What are you doing?

01:52:23.680 What are you saying?

01:52:25.560 Like, this is his fault.

01:52:26.700 And you don't want him to do well.

01:52:29.300 It's happening over and over again.

01:52:32.240 And I think we're coming to an end to this.

01:52:35.320 I really do.

01:52:36.920 Let me play cut three, please.

01:52:39.540 This is, oh, geez.

01:52:41.440 Joy Reid.

01:52:42.660 Listen to this.

01:52:44.100 They can't fix the history they did.

01:52:46.760 Their ancestors made this country into a slave, a slave hell. 0.99

01:52:52.780 But they can clean it up now, because they got the Smithsonian.

01:52:55.520 They can get rid of all the slavery stuff.

01:52:56.960 They got PragerU.

01:52:57.980 They can lie about the history to the children.

01:53:00.020 They can't originally invent anything more than they ever were able to invent good music.

01:53:05.340 We black folk gave y'all country music, hip-hop, R&B, jazz, rock and roll.

01:53:10.500 They couldn't even invent that.

01:53:11.880 But they have to call a white man the king, because they couldn't make rock and roll. 0.82

01:53:16.800 So they have to stamp the king on a man whose main song was stolen from an overweight black woman.

01:53:29.000 It's like racist GPT. 0.60

01:53:30.780 I don't think.

01:53:31.480 I mean, this is the same crap.

01:53:34.300 This is the most racist.

01:53:35.340 I mean, Stu, you've always said this, and it's so right.

01:53:39.000 Take the same phrase and just change the races. 0.88

01:53:42.240 And you'll know immediately if it's a racist statement.

01:53:44.980 Black people can't originally invent anything. 1.00

01:53:50.840 Yeah, I'm pretty clear that's racist, right?

01:53:53.340 That's racist.

01:53:53.960 Can you imagine making that statement?

01:53:55.740 Absolute racism.

01:53:57.800 She's just made it about white people, and she can get away with it now in this culture.

01:54:02.100 This is not going to age well, because this is all over.

01:54:07.920 It's such a bastardization of who Elvis Presley was.

01:54:12.000 I mean, Elvis Presley hung out with B.B. King all the time.

01:54:17.080 I mean, some of his best friends, his musical friends, were black.

01:54:22.420 Yeah, he was influenced by blacks.

01:54:26.060 And at the time, it was a very white country that really had a problem with blacks.

01:54:31.980 So, yeah, he was the king of rock and roll.

01:54:36.560 And she's right.

01:54:37.960 I can't remember her name now, but it is.

01:54:40.540 Oh, shoot.

01:54:41.260 I wish I could remember.

01:54:42.220 But she's this amazing black woman who, long before Elvis, was pivoting her hips and her pelvis and playing the guitar just like Elvis. 0.98

01:54:54.760 I mean, he really did get that from her.

01:54:57.660 But that's influence.

01:54:58.980 That's not stealing.

01:55:00.520 That's influence.

01:55:03.040 And, you know, when you talk about, I mean, let me give you this.

01:55:08.120 How hard is it to say, you know, they couldn't even invent rock and roll.

01:55:15.500 Black people gave them music, gave white people music. 0.97

01:55:20.880 Doesn't that seem like a little racist itself, that that's where you go?

01:55:26.240 It's like, they couldn't even get the ball in the hoop.

01:55:30.260 They needed black people to play basketball.

01:55:33.080 My gosh, really?

01:55:34.280 That's where you go?

01:55:35.060 So, let me, instead of saying what I think she would want us to say, which is, do you know all the inventions of white people? 0.98

01:55:44.340 Let me show you.

01:55:45.300 Let me show you how significant blacks have been in America.

01:55:50.960 George Washington Carver.

01:55:52.160 It's not just peanut butter.

01:55:54.000 Okay?

01:55:54.720 George Washington Carver, sweet potatoes, peanuts, soybeans.

01:55:59.620 He's the guy who first really started to talk about soil restoration and rotate the crops, which we all know now we have to do.

01:56:09.860 That comes from George Washington Carver, a black man.

01:56:12.940 You want to know the guy who really changed America in the 20th century and changed things really forever?

01:56:19.540 Frederick McKinley Jones.

01:56:21.640 Do you know who he was?

01:56:22.820 Frederick McKinley Jones invented the refrigerated truck in 1935.

01:56:32.460 For the first time, we could transport food a long distance.

01:56:39.020 You couldn't do that.

01:56:39.920 You had to have the dairy farm right here. 0.82

01:56:42.340 You could not do it without a refrigerated truck.

01:56:45.160 Traffic signal.

01:56:48.540 Garrett Morgan.

01:56:51.080 Let's see.

01:56:51.920 Charles Drew.

01:56:54.000 He's the guy who came up with ways to have large-scale blood storage and transfusion.

01:57:00.280 He's the guy.

01:57:01.240 This is World War II.

01:57:03.220 He's the guy that saved all of the lives of people who have needed a blood transfusion and needed to have blood there on the battlefield or anywhere.

01:57:12.160 Otis Boykin.

01:57:14.460 You're thinking elevator.

01:57:15.940 No.

01:57:17.520 He improved the resistor.

01:57:19.640 That gave us radio's television pacemakers.

01:57:24.320 The first home security system was developed by Marie Van Britten Brown, a black woman.

01:57:31.360 Okay?

01:57:31.780 She's the one who came up with the video doorbell, the forerunner of the video doorbell.

01:57:36.180 That was a black woman. 1.00

01:57:38.280 The reason why we have light bulbs.

01:57:40.160 I hate Thomas Edison.

01:57:41.240 The guy was a thief, an absolute thief.

01:57:43.480 He paid people, but then he took all of the credit, and I guess that's the way he did business.

01:57:48.100 If you did business with him, you just knew this.

01:57:50.040 But Granville Woods is the black Edison. 0.84

01:57:56.540 He invented the railroad telegraph.

01:58:00.500 Was he the guy?

01:58:01.560 No.

01:58:01.940 It was Louis Latimer that came up with the carbon filament.

01:58:07.340 Edison could not figure out what filament would last.

01:58:10.640 His light bulbs would last a minute, 20 minutes maximum.

01:58:15.680 Louis Latimer, he worked with Edison and Bell, and he came up with a carbon filament.

01:58:24.240 Dry cleaning.

01:58:25.920 Black man.

01:58:27.500 IBM engineer, co-inventor of the color PC monitor, Mark Dean.

01:58:32.060 Black. 0.93

01:58:37.420 Why is it she feels it's necessary to go to music?

01:58:46.060 Why?

01:58:47.740 You're not even willing to go further than something that everybody knows?

01:58:54.520 And, A, you got it wrong.

01:58:57.160 No, you didn't get it wrong.

01:58:59.760 Forerunners were blacks. 0.99

01:59:02.480 However, you know, she also took credit for country music, blacks, country music, et cetera, et cetera.

01:59:07.860 I want you to listen to Appalachian music.

01:59:12.220 Okay?

01:59:13.580 Listen to Appalachian music.

01:59:15.320 And I'm not stopping at Appalachian.

01:59:17.120 I'm not saying that's just, you know, influence of country.

01:59:20.760 No, no, no.

01:59:22.260 You want to go even more white than Appalachia? 0.83

01:59:24.980 Go over to Scotland.

01:59:26.920 Listen to the old Scottish music.

01:59:30.320 It's Appalachian.

01:59:31.880 Absolutely Appalachian music.

01:59:34.660 Okay?

01:59:35.800 That combined.

01:59:37.100 So, it's the white people in West Virginia.

01:59:39.680 It's the white people over in Scotland mixed with the black people in the south of America 1.00

01:59:44.900 that gave us this.

01:59:46.640 This is the melting pot.

01:59:48.460 That's the melting pot.

01:59:54.660 Have we completely given up on that idea?

01:59:57.960 Do we always just have to be pitted against each other?

02:00:00.800 Do we always just have to be your, that's your class.

02:00:03.980 You can only talk about that group of people.

02:00:06.520 I can only talk about this group of people.

02:00:08.660 But I can say things against you, but you can't say things against me.

02:00:12.680 That is, this is no life.

02:00:14.920 This isn't what we were.

02:00:16.000 We were born to live this way?

02:00:20.480 No.

02:00:22.000 No.

02:00:22.480 Should we have just ignored black influence in music? 0.99

02:00:25.940 Would that have been a better solution?

02:00:28.080 I don't know why that would be.

02:00:31.040 Having influence from other cultures is an ultimate compliment.

02:00:35.780 Right?

02:00:35.920 Like, that's an incredible compliment of saying how good it is, how positive it is.

02:00:40.940 It is something we should recognize.

02:00:42.280 But like, again, categorizing it that way of like, as if the most important thing is what

02:00:47.560 color invented this and what color invented that is just a horrible way to go through life.

02:00:53.660 And, you know, it kind of gives...

02:00:55.280 It just makes you angry and resentful.

02:00:57.460 Yeah.

02:00:57.740 And you're not going to make any progress that way.

02:01:02.000 No.

02:01:02.260 You're not.

02:01:02.600 Well, maybe in the way that Joey Reed wants it.

02:01:04.620 I guess maybe you make some, but not in the real progress sense.

02:01:08.360 And can we do a quick tale of two hosts here for a moment?

02:01:12.000 The two hosts you played, Stephen A. Smith and Joey Reed, is a fascinating side-by-side.

02:01:16.860 But there, I should note, there are massive differences between them in that, you know,

02:01:22.660 Stephen A. Smith is a...

02:01:23.360 No, there's not.

02:01:23.860 They're both, they're both black.

02:01:25.340 They're both black.

02:01:26.220 That's all we should care about.

02:01:27.200 That's all we should care about.

02:01:28.240 Unless Stephen, unless Stephen, yes, he votes Democrat, but he speaks out positively about

02:01:33.700 Republicans from time to time.

02:01:36.160 So maybe he's not really black.

02:01:38.180 I'm not really...

02:01:38.800 We should ask the expert, Joey Reed.

02:01:40.540 Right.

02:01:40.960 That's the only way we can get that answer.

02:01:43.140 Stephen A. Smith is a very talented broadcaster, whether you like him or not.

02:01:46.240 He's very, very successful.

02:01:48.020 And Joey Reed is a talentless zero.

02:01:50.340 She is a giant zilch. 1.00

02:01:52.420 So there is a massive difference between them.

02:01:54.960 But what's interesting about it is, like, I would say Stephen A. Smith shows up in our

02:01:59.440 show prep every six weeks or so, right?

02:02:04.340 Like, every six weeks or so, there's a Stephen A. Smith clip that goes viral with him saying

02:02:08.980 something, and it's typically something like that, where, like, he's a Democrat, but he's

02:02:14.680 saying something, like, really truthful.

02:02:16.600 And he's just saying, like, let's just be honest about this.

02:02:18.800 Let's just state the truth here.

02:02:20.920 This is true, whether it helps my side or it doesn't help my side.

02:02:24.580 And this is a sports broadcaster that occasionally delves into the world of politics that does

02:02:30.040 that type of thing, I would argue, occasionally.

02:02:33.380 Right?

02:02:33.580 Like, most of his opinions, I think if you listen on a day-to-day basis, are going to be, you

02:02:37.780 know, Democrat, you know, standards.

02:02:39.560 Right?

02:02:39.960 But he occasionally will say something like that.

02:02:43.280 The fact that he will occasionally, every six weeks, say something that's just honest,

02:02:50.880 admitting the other side is actually right on this one, has elevated him to a possible

02:02:56.260 presidential candidate.

02:02:58.800 Joy Reid is doing some podcast in a, I don't even think she has a basement, but like some 0.91

02:03:05.640 room in her home where she has now been fired and has no career whatsoever, Stephen A.

02:03:11.100 Smith is being considered and being polled in presidential races, not because he's great

02:03:16.820 at sports talk, not because he's the greatest Democrat communicator of all time, because people

02:03:23.060 see him as occasionally saying something honest and against his interests.

02:03:26.960 That is so rare in our society that we will embrace him and elevate him to a possible presidential

02:03:34.340 candidate because of it.

02:03:35.720 That is a, it's quite a commentary on where we are in the world and where journalism is.

02:03:41.760 So you, you, I, sorry, I went on to another track when you said that, you know, Joy Reid

02:03:47.320 lost her job.

02:03:48.140 I, I didn't know that she wasn't working for a MS-13 anymore. 0.90

02:03:51.660 I mean, MS, NBC, I guess, but I remember now she was, so she's, this is shocking to me.

02:03:58.940 She hasn't found a job, you know, no, their network is, you're going to be surprised.

02:04:04.420 Now, you know, I, I should, she certainly hasn't found a job of note.

02:04:08.200 How about that?

02:04:08.840 I don't know her entire daily schedule, but, uh, she seems to just go on the same network

02:04:13.540 with, with Keith Olbermann.

02:04:15.200 Yes.

02:04:16.080 Um, all right.

02:04:17.080 Let me tell you about our sponsor.

02:04:18.260 It's American financing.

02:04:19.840 I get it right now.

02:04:21.360 The odds feel stacked against you.

02:04:23.080 The mortgage rate is through the roof.

02:04:24.700 Your credit card interest rate is even worse by a lot.

02:04:28.380 The debt is piling higher and higher until it seems like it's just a mountain that you

02:04:32.420 just can't get around.

02:04:33.820 Okay.

02:04:34.100 But here's the truth.

02:04:34.960 You can move that mountain because believe it or not, you don't have to wait for the perfect

02:04:39.480 conditions to do something seemingly impossible.

02:04:42.180 When you have American financing on your side, they roll up their sleeves and they start digging.

02:04:46.500 In fact, their entire company is built on that idea.

02:04:49.640 They are a family owned mortgage company that works for you, not the banks.

02:04:53.480 And they can help you consolidate, refi, get control back of your financial life.

02:04:58.320 Every family that calls, every single, uh, listener that we have that does business with,

02:05:04.260 uh, American financing, when they do business, they are selling on average or they are saving

02:05:10.020 on average about $835 every single month.

02:05:14.600 That's a lot of money.

02:05:16.200 When you describe, just, uh, decide to climb the mountain, get to the top.

02:05:20.860 You can get there with American financing.

02:05:23.640 Call American financing now at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.

02:05:41.460 The meaty is peddling slop these days.

02:05:47.540 Better stay sharp or you might end up taking it on the chin.

02:05:51.980 Well, that's just nasty.

02:05:53.420 Glenn Beck is back in a sec.

02:05:55.340 Hello, thank you so much for listening today.

02:06:18.280 We are, um, we're really honored that you would choose us out of all of the options that you have

02:06:22.380 to spend a few minutes with us, uh, I hope we have done something useful today and, uh,

02:06:27.320 help you make sense of the world, um, a little bit.

02:06:31.080 I don't know if we have, but we try.

02:06:33.280 Um, I want to play something before I go with, uh, Carolyn Levitt.

02:06:37.920 Um, and you know, everybody said it can be done.

02:06:42.840 Uh, here she is announcing Putin and Zelensky.

02:06:45.720 Listen to this.

02:06:46.340 Cut five.

02:06:46.680 Following the encouraging conversations yesterday, President Trump spoke with President Putin

02:06:51.320 by phone and he agreed to begin the next phase of the peace process, a meeting between President

02:06:56.720 Putin and President Zelensky, which would be followed if necessary by a trilateral meeting

02:07:01.980 between President Putin, President Zelensky and President Trump.

02:07:06.100 As the president said, Vice President Vance, Secretary Rubio and Special Envoy Whitcoff will

02:07:11.180 continue to coordinate with Russia and Ukraine to make this happen as soon as possible.

02:07:15.660 It's very important to remember that before President Trump's landslide victory last

02:07:20.300 November, there was no end in sight to this bloodshed.

02:07:23.920 Now there may finally be light at the end of the tunnel and an opportunity for lasting

02:07:28.440 peace.

02:07:29.360 That's because President Trump is the peace president and American leadership is back

02:07:33.600 on the world stage.

02:07:34.940 It should not be lost on anyone in this room that world leaders are coming right here to

02:07:40.620 Washington, D.C. for help.

02:07:42.480 While previous presidents have traveled halfway around the world to apologize for America,

02:07:47.940 President Trump stands up for America and he has firmly restored America's status as

02:07:52.940 the undisputed leader of the free world.

02:07:56.280 Amen.

02:07:56.900 And I'm sure that Hillary Clinton is busy today, you know, riding out and filling out the forum

02:08:01.000 for the Nobel Prize.

02:08:02.520 This is Glenn Beck.
