The Glenn Beck Program - US Democrat Pledges Allegiance to Guatemala？! ｜ Guests： AG Ken Paxton & Sen. Tim Scott ｜ 8⧸5⧸25

00:00:00.000 Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.

00:00:02.080 I've been visualizing my match all week.

00:00:04.640 She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column

00:00:07.680 behind her car on her backhand side.

00:00:10.960 Good thing Claudia is with Intact, the insurer with the largest network

00:00:14.320 of auto service centers in the country.

00:00:16.320 Everything was taken care of under one roof,

00:00:18.320 and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.

00:00:20.720 I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.

00:00:24.240 But you got there on time.

00:00:26.000 Intact Insurance, your auto service ace. Certain conditions apply.

00:00:30.080 Let me talk to you a little bit about MyPatriotSupply.

00:00:32.400 There comes a point in some crisis situations where the truth settles in,

00:00:36.080 and it's not really comforting.

00:00:37.440 If you look around, waiting for help, expecting the system to kick into gear,

00:00:41.280 and then nothing happens, the power has been out for hours,

00:00:44.320 your phone's at 4%, the stores are all closed, the roads are all flooded,

00:00:51.520 and that feeling in your gut says, yeah, I don't think anybody's coming.

00:00:55.280 For all of our technology, for all the infrastructure,

00:00:57.760 we are never more than one really bad event away from empty shelves, long lines,

00:01:02.800 a system that just can't keep up.

00:01:04.560 And when that moment comes, the only thing that matters is what do you have in hand?

00:02:32.360 Now let's get to work.

00:02:38.280 Thank you.

00:03:08.280 Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.

00:03:14.960 Stand your ground when times get dark.

00:03:17.400 Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

00:03:22.000 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:03:26.140 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:29.640 Well, hello, America.

00:03:34.560 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:35.980 There's a lot on the plate today.

00:03:37.480 We have the story in Texas, which is really all about gerrymandering.

00:03:42.460 What is that?

00:03:43.060 We'll explain and why everybody is upset in Texas on both sides, both Republicans and Democrats,

00:03:50.280 and what the Attorney General is going to do.

00:03:53.060 The Attorney General joins us in about an hour on that story.

00:03:56.880 So you don't want to miss that.

00:03:57.980 Also, Jim Acosta spoke to a ghost yesterday.

00:04:02.400 Really kind of a terrifying thing.

00:04:05.500 New development here in America.

00:04:07.740 And hyphenated Americans.

00:04:10.060 America is not just a country.

00:04:12.960 It is truly a covenant.

00:04:14.240 And it's not sealed by race or bloodline, but just an allegiance to an idea that we are all one people, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

00:04:27.880 So what happens when somebody who is elected to serve under the very idea declares allegiance not to the United States, but to a foreign nation?

00:04:38.020 Because we not only have one, we have several now in Congress doing this.

00:04:42.600 What does that mean?

00:04:45.740 What's this story about?

00:04:47.680 And how do we fight it?

00:04:49.280 Well, that coming up in just a second.

00:04:51.580 First, our sponsor this half hour is Real Estate Agents I Trust.

00:04:56.460 So I'm broadcasting from Florida again today.

00:05:01.260 Tanya and I just moved.

00:05:02.380 Our kids moved out.

00:05:04.580 And we were kind of, you know, alone, walking around in a big house.

00:05:09.660 And we decided to move.

00:05:11.240 And we moved to Florida.

00:05:12.180 And I went right to realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:05:15.520 This is, I don't just tell you this.

00:05:19.140 This is my company.

00:05:20.320 So I don't just say this and then go do something else for myself.

00:05:23.080 I went to realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:05:25.220 And I found Lisa Drew.

00:05:26.760 Lisa, I've known her for a long time.

00:05:28.880 She was one of the first people that we vetted.

00:05:30.480 And she is one of the top real estate agents here in this area in Florida. 0.92

00:05:36.580 And she was absolutely remarkable.

00:05:39.580 It took us about two years, maybe.

00:05:43.540 We were going back and forth.

00:05:45.000 You know, I don't know.

00:05:46.280 And she would find houses for us.

00:05:47.680 She was incredibly patient.

00:05:49.960 And she listened to us.

00:05:51.360 She knew when we finally found the right house, it was because she called us up and said,

00:05:55.240 look, this just came on the market.

00:05:57.320 And I think it has your name all over it.

00:05:59.180 And because she listened to us, she knew exactly what we were looking for.

00:06:04.020 And she was right.

00:06:05.440 And so we moved into that house.

00:06:07.400 That's the kind of real estate agent that you're going to get.

00:06:09.900 Somebody that is there from the very beginning all the way through to make things really seamless.

00:06:15.500 You can find Lisa and others like her at realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:06:21.140 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:06:23.560 It's a free service to you.

00:06:25.100 And it is my company.

00:06:26.980 All right.

00:06:28.100 So what happens when somebody who is elected pledges allegiance to another country?

00:06:36.860 Well, first of all, it's a violation of your oath.

00:06:39.160 But let me get into the story.

00:06:40.440 Congresswoman Delia Ramirez stood this week on foreign soil speaking in Spanish at a summit in Mexico City.

00:06:50.080 And she said, and I'd like to quote, I am a proud Guatemalan before I'm an American.

00:06:57.080 Now, this isn't all.

00:06:59.000 Her husband also is in this country illegally.

00:07:03.960 That's not me saying that.

00:07:05.600 That's the Rolling Stone, which reported that a couple of years ago.

00:07:09.780 So let this sink in here for a minute.

00:07:11.940 This is a sitting member of Congress sworn to uphold the Constitution, says she's a Guatemalan before she's an American. 0.98

00:07:22.700 Meanwhile, her household, she does, defies the immigration laws that she just swore to protect and defend. 0.64

00:07:33.160 All right.

00:07:33.960 This is not a gaffe.

00:07:35.520 This is not a misquote.

00:07:36.920 This is intentional.

00:07:37.920 This is intentional.

00:07:38.260 And it is happening over and over and over again.

00:07:42.200 We have people, Ilan Omar, she is a Somali before she's an American. 0.97

00:07:47.860 Those are her words.

00:07:50.280 This is not about heritage or cultural pride.

00:07:55.200 You know, you can't say you don't love the country of your ancestors.

00:07:58.920 I mean, Tanya's family is so great, you know, because they're they come from Italy.

00:08:05.920 They're Italian-Americans, but they would never say they're Italian.

00:08:09.480 They're they're Americans.

00:08:11.060 Where's your family from Italy?

00:08:13.860 And they're proud of that.

00:08:15.380 And I love that they have mixed that.

00:08:17.980 And it has become very American.

00:08:20.900 I love that.

00:08:22.020 But when you separate yourself and you are an Italian first, there is no way anybody in Tanya's family throughout history would have ever said.

00:08:32.400 In fact, her uncle Leo, I've talked about a million times.

00:08:36.860 He was born here in America while they were on vacation.

00:08:40.800 They went back to Italy, but he was the only natural born citizen.

00:08:45.800 He was the only citizen when when the war came, they were afraid that the entire family was going to be wiped out.

00:08:52.420 So what did he do?

00:08:53.880 He came to America. 0.63

00:08:55.660 But instead of just sitting collecting things, he's like 18 years old.

00:08:59.800 He enlisted in the U.S. Army.

00:09:02.440 And because he had a heavy Italian accent, everybody thought he's a spy.

00:09:08.320 And so he got the worst of the worst.

00:09:11.400 He was on one of the first boats for D-Day.

00:09:14.320 When that gate came down, he was one of the first to try to make the mad dash to the cliff.

00:09:19.740 Why?

00:09:20.520 Because he's obviously a spy.

00:09:24.720 He was proudly an American.

00:09:29.320 When you serve in Congress, when you sit on the the committee for the Homeland Security.

00:09:36.420 You're not just representing voters.

00:09:40.300 You're representing the sovereignty of the United States of America.

00:09:44.180 You are part of the body tasked to defend our borders, its laws.

00:09:49.340 And yes, its identity.

00:09:51.940 And I am sick and tired and I won't play the game.

00:09:54.540 And nor should you that our identity is worse than anybody else's.

00:09:58.820 That our identity somehow or another doesn't matter.

00:10:01.320 Our identity as America.

00:10:02.900 We changed the world.

00:10:07.640 Now you can be proud of that.

00:10:09.680 While also being ashamed of some of the things we did when we beat our chest.

00:10:14.760 When we went awry.

00:10:16.140 When we went away from our Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. 0.96

00:10:20.920 When we get away from that, we're screwed. 0.88

00:10:23.300 We screw everything up.

00:10:24.980 Well, we're doing that now.

00:10:26.200 Now, she should be denaturalized. 0.97

00:10:35.480 Deported.

00:10:36.600 Maybe.

00:10:37.520 Maybe.

00:10:37.980 That's what some members of Congress are calling for.

00:10:40.380 She certainly should be kicked off the Homeland Security Committee. 0.58

00:10:46.060 She should probably be kicked out of Congress. 1.00

00:10:48.580 You cannot have your loyalty to another country over your loyalty to the United States of America.

00:10:57.180 I mean, when will we start taking allegiance seriously again?

00:11:01.880 When?

00:11:03.900 You know, the founders were really clear.

00:11:05.820 Let's look at this historically.

00:11:07.920 George Washington in his farewell address warned about foreign entanglements.

00:11:12.040 And we always think that that is, oh, well, we shouldn't get involved in foreign wars.

00:11:16.240 Yes, it is.

00:11:18.900 It is.

00:11:19.800 Do you know why you have to be a naturally born citizen of the United States to serve as president?

00:11:31.520 You can't be some Arnold Schwarzenegger.

00:11:34.280 You know, everybody's like, I'd let Arnold Schwarzenegger be president.

00:11:37.440 I don't know why Elon Musk be president.

00:11:39.260 I wouldn't.

00:11:41.040 Because they weren't born here.

00:11:43.960 Now, that is in our Constitution.

00:11:45.600 And why?

00:11:47.300 Because the founders feared that you would have an alliance that would be above the United States of America.

00:11:54.560 You would say, in Elon Musk's case, you know what?

00:11:58.560 I really am more loyal to South America or South Africa than I am the United States.

00:12:04.340 Or Arnold Schwarzenegger, I'm more aligned with Austria than the United States.

00:12:10.200 Neither of those guys will say that.

00:12:12.340 Neither of those guys believe that.

00:12:13.980 But we have members of Congress who say, I am more aligned and it is more the heart, the country that I have the heart for is Somalia or Guatemala over the United States.

00:12:25.520 Why are you serving?

00:12:26.340 That's what foreign entanglement. 0.99

00:12:27.340 That's what foreign entanglement is. 0.99

00:12:29.300 It's not just military alliances.

00:12:33.320 He wrote of the danger of foreign influence and corruption, noting that allegiance divided is allegiance denied.

00:12:42.380 Now, that's George Washington.

00:12:46.040 We all know Theodore Roosevelt.

00:12:47.860 Theodore Roosevelt didn't believe in hyphenated Americans.

00:12:50.620 There's only Americans. 0.98

00:12:52.860 There is no room, quoting him, there is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism.

00:12:58.600 Now, that is obviously not a swipe at immigrants.

00:13:01.740 It was a call to unify under one flag, one set of laws, one national destiny.

00:13:07.740 That's why we're the melting pot.

00:13:11.040 That's why we came together.

00:13:12.600 That's why we could do incredible things.

00:13:14.880 Because people came and brought the best of their culture with them, but they melted and wanted to be an American.

00:13:22.900 And when dual loyalties creep into the halls of power, that's when a republic crumbles.

00:13:29.260 That's when you're over.

00:13:30.820 And it's not from without, it's from within.

00:13:36.080 And as I said, Congresswoman Ramirez, her comments didn't happen in a vacuum.

00:13:42.000 They come at a time when Donald Trump has made immigration central to the campaign,

00:13:48.120 ending birthright citizenship, ramping up ICE arrest, deporting those who break our laws,

00:13:55.080 apparently except for her husband.

00:13:57.980 And what's the reaction?

00:14:01.160 Outrage.

00:14:02.760 Outrage from the same people who, you know, want our borders open, sanctuary cities,

00:14:08.320 policies that blur, if not erase the line between citizen and non-citizen.

00:14:14.180 They want that gone.

00:14:15.500 Again, this isn't political.

00:14:19.140 It's not a political line anymore.

00:14:20.960 This is a spiritual one.

00:14:22.320 This is a moral one.

00:14:23.460 This is a constitutional line.

00:14:26.600 And now with her own words and her own associations, she's drawn that line in the sand.

00:14:32.560 On one side is America.

00:14:34.580 On the other side is Guatemala.

00:14:37.040 And she, by her own words, made her choice.

00:14:40.560 Guatemala.

00:14:41.020 Guatemala.

00:14:41.780 Now the question is, does Congress even care?

00:14:46.500 Will Congress and the American people choose America over Guatemala or Somalia or any other place?

00:14:59.520 Will we say it matters?

00:15:01.420 So here's what, this is what I believe should absolutely happen immediately.

00:15:09.200 She needs to immediately be removed from Homeland Security or immigration-related committees. 1.00

00:15:15.400 If you don't believe in national sovereignty, you should not be managing our national sovereignty.

00:15:23.760 There should be a full investigation into her husband's immigration status.

00:15:28.920 No one in this country, not even the spouse of the Congresswoman, should be above the law.

00:15:35.320 If Melania Trump had been, had come here illegally, I would say exactly the same thing.

00:15:43.060 No one is above the law.

00:15:47.420 Citizenship loyalty review.

00:15:49.120 Boy, this really sounds scary.

00:15:50.940 You want a citizenship loyalty review?

00:15:54.520 Yeah.

00:15:54.800 Yeah, we've had one in the past, and I think we should reintroduce it.

00:16:02.020 Because that is the oath of office, the oath of allegiance.

00:16:06.020 And that has to be a binding standard for those who are serving.

00:16:12.380 Are you allegiance?

00:16:13.900 Do you pledge allegiance to our flag, our country, our constitution?

00:16:19.620 And if you can't say with real, full conviction, oh yeah, absolutely, of course, that your allegiance

00:16:27.080 is with the United States of America, well, then you don't belong in government.

00:16:32.620 If you can't say, no, my loyalty is absolutely behind the Constitution of the United States

00:16:38.220 of America, then you should not be in government.

00:16:44.360 And here's the biggest thing that has to happen.

00:16:46.120 This one happens with us.

00:16:50.040 We have to stop going, oh well, that's just politics.

00:16:54.240 Because this is not politics.

00:16:56.480 This is not politics.

00:16:59.060 This goes right directly to the soul of our nation.

00:17:03.620 A line now has been crossed.

00:17:06.840 And it was crossed with Ilhan Omar, and we said nothing.

00:17:10.480 And now it's been crossed with Congresswoman Ramirez.

00:17:16.620 And she crossed two lines.

00:17:18.940 Her husband, according to Rolling Stone, isn't illegal.

00:17:27.660 So are we going to hold the line or not?

00:17:29.960 Because if we don't know where our allegiance is, then we no longer know who we are.

00:17:34.620 We no longer believe in anything anymore.

00:17:38.320 Because America doesn't matter. 0.84

00:17:39.920 You can serve as a defender of the Constitution and our sovereignty

00:17:46.000 and not believe in the Constitution or our sovereignty.

00:17:50.900 You know what that means?

00:17:53.200 That means retardation has gone airborne. 1.00

00:17:57.100 That's what that means.

00:17:58.120 That we are so, we have become so susceptible to retardation 1.00

00:18:04.520 that we can't see our own suicide.

00:18:09.620 But that's what that story is really all about.

00:18:12.340 And we have a choice.

00:18:13.420 So, what are you going to do about it today?

00:18:16.380 I suggest you stand up and you let your voice be heard.

00:18:20.840 All right.

00:18:21.680 Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

00:18:22.920 Some days, pain just ruins your life.

00:18:25.280 It decides how long you sleep, what plans you cancel.

00:18:28.300 I have to tell you, I'm going back to Dallas

00:18:31.280 because I'm meeting with two back surgeons next week

00:18:33.580 because I can't take it anymore.

00:18:36.540 My doctor said to me years ago, they said,

00:18:38.560 I'm not going to cut into your back until you beg me for it. 0.99

00:18:42.580 That was 20 years ago, until you beg me for it. 0.95

00:18:45.160 I'm to the point of begging.

00:18:46.640 I'm absolutely to the point of begging now.

00:18:49.400 And there is some pain that nothing can touch.

00:18:52.900 Nothing can touch.

00:18:53.760 But I'll tell you, Relief Factor has given me

00:18:56.920 a long, long life away from pain in my back

00:19:01.480 and especially this weird pain that I had in my hands

00:19:05.020 that would just, I couldn't even pick up a pencil.

00:19:09.360 I couldn't put my fingers around a pencil

00:19:12.840 and write for more than a couple of sentences.

00:19:15.000 The pain was so bad.

00:19:16.600 That's still gone with Relief Factor.

00:19:19.320 Relief Factor, it is a daily supplement created by doctors

00:19:22.460 that helps support a healthy inflammatory response

00:19:24.820 to your body, which matters.

00:19:26.380 Because most of the aching and the stiffness

00:19:28.520 that slows you down, that's inflammation.

00:19:31.140 And Relief Factor is designed to go after it naturally

00:19:33.740 without prescriptions, without a bunch of side effects,

00:19:36.100 without giving up your sanity.

00:19:37.700 It's not magic.

00:19:38.680 It's not a quick fix.

00:19:39.800 But, you know, if you're ready to do something,

00:19:42.020 really do something, then this might be your moment.

00:19:44.420 Don't negotiate with your pain anymore.

00:19:47.020 Instead, make it sorry that it ever messed with you.

00:19:49.640 You can give their three-week quick start a try.

00:19:51.500 It's only $19.95.

00:19:52.620 Just visit relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:19:56.220 That's 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:19:58.740 It's relieffactor.com.

00:20:00.940 10 seconds, Station ID.

00:20:03.740 So, Stu, how do you read this Ramirez story?

00:20:17.080 It seems pretty obvious, right?

00:20:19.300 You really should have loyalty to the United States first

00:20:25.120 when it comes to being certainly a lawmaker.

00:20:28.580 And you'd think, I'm not surprised that this stuff happens,

00:20:31.420 but I'm surprised that it's being admitted, right?

00:20:34.820 I don't know if she thought, well, I'm on foreign territory

00:20:37.120 and I'm speaking in a different language.

00:20:38.800 No one's going to notice.

00:20:39.920 But, like, you're not supposed to admit

00:20:42.460 that you might just care about another nation

00:20:45.580 more than you do the one you're working for, right?

00:20:49.880 It's like, you know, if you're working at McDonald's,

00:20:51.700 you're not supposed to say, well, I mean,

00:20:52.700 I'm a Burger King guy first.

00:20:54.360 You know, that's...

00:20:55.420 It's insane.

00:20:56.940 I just love the Whopper.

00:20:57.860 You know, you're a priest.

00:21:03.460 Not just a parishioner.

00:21:06.760 You're a priest in the Catholic Church.

00:21:08.880 And you're like, really?

00:21:10.160 My heart is with the Methodist Church.

00:21:13.440 What?

00:21:14.680 Right.

00:21:15.420 You know, maybe you can go sit in a pew,

00:21:17.620 but you're not the one to do the Mass.

00:21:20.820 Yeah, and, like, you can care.

00:21:23.520 You can have a...

00:21:25.640 Certainly, you can even have an order of preference

00:21:29.900 when it comes to foreign nations.

00:21:31.980 You can say, you know what?

00:21:32.900 My heritage comes from this country

00:21:34.180 and I really do care about what happens there.

00:21:36.920 That's fine.

00:21:38.120 But to put it above America is really...

00:21:41.220 And I'm sure she'll say,

00:21:42.100 oh, no, I didn't mean I was putting it above.

00:21:43.880 I'm sure she'll...

00:21:44.720 There's always an excuse.

00:21:45.820 This is the one lesson I've learned

00:21:47.280 in all the years doing the show with you, Glenn,

00:21:49.420 is no matter what happens,

00:21:51.540 they always have an excuse.

00:21:53.280 There's always some justification

00:21:55.420 as to why they're not doing the thing they're doing.

00:21:59.260 But, like, quite clearly this has been said.

00:22:01.800 I mean, I would argue Ilana Mar

00:22:03.520 is a more egregious example even...

00:22:06.260 I agree.

00:22:06.760 ...than this person I've literally never heard of

00:22:09.940 until today, which is...

00:22:12.660 But she's on the Homeland Security Committee.

00:22:15.020 I'm not saying she's a nobody.

00:22:16.240 It's just, you know, she just isn't... 0.77

00:22:18.720 Hasn't been one of those people

00:22:19.680 who's necessarily tried to draw attention

00:22:23.140 to herself on MS...

00:22:24.460 You know, she's not Jasmine Crockett, right?

00:22:26.120 Like, where she's on TV all the time

00:22:27.520 talking about this.

00:22:28.640 Oftentimes, that's where a lot of the damage comes from.

00:22:31.280 Jasmine Crockett is a giant zilch. 1.00

00:22:33.240 She'll never amount to anything.

00:22:34.740 Right.

00:22:34.860 No one listens to her.

00:22:36.040 No one even...

00:22:36.840 You know, she is a... 0.99

00:22:38.160 She is more of a... 1.00

00:22:40.040 She's a clown. 1.00

00:22:40.820 She's a clown. 1.00

00:22:41.580 She's a social media personality 1.00

00:22:43.200 rather than an actual congresswoman.

00:22:45.320 A lot of these people go in there.

00:22:46.700 They don't look for the attention.

00:22:48.120 They don't want everyone looking at them

00:22:50.300 and what they're doing all the time.

00:22:51.840 And those are the people that are honestly

00:22:53.000 crafting a lot of the legislation

00:22:55.000 and the stuff that winds up bothering us the most

00:22:57.560 and we don't pay attention to them.

00:22:59.140 So I'm glad there's some attention being drawn here.

00:23:03.340 Well, we'll see whether anything's going to happen.

00:23:06.320 I mean, honestly, we as people need to stop saying

00:23:16.340 I'm hyphenated American.

00:23:19.020 That's the first thing that happens.

00:23:20.960 We got to stop saying that.

00:23:22.600 I've never said I'm German American.

00:23:25.060 You, I mean, out of your shame,

00:23:26.820 you've never said you're French American.

00:23:29.040 I mean, you know what I'm saying, Stu?

00:23:32.560 Brigier.

00:23:33.120 Look, you know,

00:23:36.780 neither Germany nor France have the best histories.

00:23:40.780 I know, I know, I know.

00:23:42.060 I'd argue.

00:23:42.840 Well, neither do Italians, 1.00

00:23:44.620 but Italians are proud of it.

00:23:46.260 That's true.

00:23:46.460 That's just because they're like,

00:23:47.580 yeah, spaghetti.

00:23:48.900 Yeah, be the food ready.

00:23:49.460 And you're like, yeah, you're right, you're right.

00:23:51.260 You know, you guys made some mistakes in that one war,

00:23:53.620 but gosh, lasagna?

00:23:55.480 It's just incredible.

00:23:57.780 And the Germans are like, 1.00

00:23:59.520 what about our German chocolate cake?

00:24:02.420 Well, it's pretty good, though.

00:24:04.340 This is Glenn Beck.

00:24:08.360 All right, let me tell you about our sponsor.

00:24:10.680 It's Patriot Mobile.

00:24:11.760 Now, picture this smoky, dim-lit room,

00:24:14.840 deep underground, leather chairs,

00:24:16.780 ominous laughter,

00:24:18.060 and sitting around a big conference table.

00:24:19.720 There are big mobile executives from Verizon,

00:24:22.140 AT&T, you know, T-Mobile,

00:24:24.380 and they're all huddled together like cartoon villains,

00:24:26.740 you know, twirling and twisting their mustaches

00:24:28.960 and petting their cats.

00:24:30.140 And you know what they're discussing,

00:24:32.100 how they're using the money that you send them every month

00:24:35.180 to fund woke political campaigns,

00:24:38.120 and how you're funding all the things you're against.

00:24:42.840 That's how they're donating to groups

00:24:44.480 that actively oppose your values, you know,

00:24:46.640 throwing money at causes that make you wonder

00:24:48.460 how you accidentally signed up to sponsor

00:24:51.600 the end of Western civilization.

00:24:53.820 Now, Patriot Mobile is the only one that doesn't do that.

00:24:55.920 Patriot Mobile is the only Christian conservative 0.99

00:24:57.760 wireless provider in America.

00:24:59.420 They use the same cell towers as the big guys.

00:25:01.520 You get excellent coverage,

00:25:03.320 but they support the values you believe in.

00:25:05.900 So right now, you can activate in minutes.

00:25:53.960 So here's a story that I think if we don't stop

00:26:00.300 and pay attention to right now,

00:26:02.140 this one small story,

00:26:03.500 it may seem like nothing to a lot of people,

00:26:05.560 but if we don't pay attention to it right now,

00:26:07.940 I don't think we recognize what it means to be human

00:26:10.860 in a generation from now, if that long.

00:26:15.280 Journalist, I shouldn't say journalist,

00:26:16.680 publicity hound Jim Acosta

00:26:18.640 just did an interview.

00:26:21.460 I can't even say that.

00:26:23.540 Just did, I don't even know what you would call it,

00:26:27.600 did a publicity stunt.

00:26:30.000 Not with a witness, not a grieving parent.

00:26:33.200 He sat down with an AI ghost.

00:26:36.760 It's an AI recreation of a 17-year-old kid

00:26:41.240 named Joaquin Oliver.

00:26:43.160 He was murdered in the Parkland Massacre.

00:26:46.020 And then he called it journalism.

00:26:48.640 He called it a conversation, but it wasn't.

00:26:51.340 It was neither.

00:26:52.720 It wasn't even human.

00:26:55.920 Let me play this grotesque pantomime for you.

00:26:59.720 Listen.

00:27:00.700 Joaquin, I would like to know

00:27:02.340 what your solution would be for gun violence.

00:27:07.080 Great question.

00:27:08.360 I believe in a mix of stronger gun control laws,

00:27:10.940 mental health support, and community engagement.

00:27:13.220 We need to create safe spaces for conversations

00:27:15.880 and connections, making sure everyone feels seen and heard.

00:27:19.200 It's about building a culture of kindness

00:27:21.140 and understanding.

00:27:22.040 What do you think about that?

00:27:23.440 I think that's a great idea, Joaquin.

00:27:27.000 You mentioned.

00:27:29.120 That is the worst thing I've ever seen in my life.

00:27:32.720 I had seen all the headlines.

00:27:35.260 I hadn't actually seen.

00:27:36.380 Now, it is so bad, it's funny at this point.

00:27:44.160 It is.

00:27:44.660 It's just horrible.

00:27:46.300 I want to put this into perspective.

00:27:48.040 This is a digital ventriloquist act. 0.67

00:27:52.680 He's a puppet.

00:27:53.580 It's the image of a dead kid, long buried, animated,

00:27:58.840 like a puppet for the politics of those who are still living.

00:28:03.340 Now, let me ask you something that, you know,

00:28:06.140 we haven't dared to ask out loud yet,

00:28:08.180 and that is, what does it mean?

00:28:09.780 What does it truly mean to be alive

00:28:12.580 if, in death, you're more useful?

00:28:16.240 What are the Democrats saying right now

00:28:24.920 to some of the people in Congress? 0.67

00:28:26.700 They're saying, you need to take a bullet.

00:28:29.160 Why? 1.00

00:28:29.860 Because you're more useful if you're dead, 0.99

00:28:34.540 if somebody assassinates you.

00:28:36.700 So what does it mean to be alive

00:28:38.800 if, in death, you're more useful?

00:28:41.760 What does it mean when your image, your voice,

00:28:44.500 your soul, as captured by a memory or photograph,

00:28:48.900 can be summoned back again,

00:28:50.580 not by God, but by algorithms and agenda?

00:28:55.800 I hate to go all religious on you, 0.96

00:28:58.020 but I have to tell you,

00:28:59.200 if this isn't the making of a graven image,

00:29:04.120 I don't know what is.

00:29:05.700 Thou shall not make a graven image.

00:29:09.340 You don't make for yourself an idol

00:29:11.660 or any likeness of what is in heaven,

00:29:14.760 above, or on earth beneath.

00:29:20.260 You know, the Native Americans used to, 0.97

00:29:22.780 they would never let you take your picture,

00:29:24.700 some of them, some tribes,

00:29:25.840 would never let you take their picture

00:29:27.080 because they thought it would steal your soul.

00:29:29.560 This doesn't have a soul.

00:29:36.620 This is taking your image,

00:29:39.000 bringing you back to life without a soul.

00:29:43.280 When man starts creating a likeness

00:29:46.020 to wield power or emotion,

00:29:49.400 we stop serving God

00:29:51.060 and we start serving ourselves.

00:29:52.860 I'm going to be generous here

00:30:00.540 and say I don't blame the parents.

00:30:02.980 I don't question their grief

00:30:05.840 in any way, shape, or form.

00:30:08.940 But this is no longer theirs.

00:30:13.220 This is not their son.

00:30:15.440 This is a political puppet.

00:30:17.460 The minute Joaquin's AI avatar

00:30:21.600 spoke political opinions into a camera,

00:30:25.160 it stopped being about grief

00:30:27.320 and became propaganda.

00:30:29.820 And this, my friend,

00:30:31.240 is only the beginning.

00:30:33.620 What happens when governments

00:30:34.900 use AI-resurrected faces for propaganda?

00:30:38.520 What happens when terrorists

00:30:39.980 use deepfake hostages?

00:30:42.920 Hostages who are already dead,

00:30:45.320 pleading for help.

00:30:46.280 You don't think that could happen with Hamas?

00:30:50.780 You don't think that Hamas

00:30:52.600 couldn't have made an image?

00:30:55.380 In fact, the video that we saw last week

00:30:57.500 could have very well been AI

00:30:59.340 and the kid could be dead.

00:31:02.060 Now it's not,

00:31:03.920 but that's what's coming.

00:31:06.620 What happens when we begin

00:31:08.360 to trust synthetic testimony

00:31:10.720 over human, actual human experience?

00:31:14.640 This isn't just immoral.

00:31:17.180 This is very, very dangerous.

00:31:18.740 This is soul-erasing.

00:31:20.560 This is post-human.

00:31:23.100 You are entering a world now

00:31:26.680 that is, it's post-human.

00:31:28.800 This is the dystopian world

00:31:33.020 and we're just beginning to step into it.

00:31:35.660 We're entering an age

00:31:36.640 where the dead can be programmed

00:31:39.120 to speak the words of the living.

00:31:42.060 Where grief is nothing more

00:31:44.340 than a marketing tool.

00:31:45.540 Where death is not your end.

00:31:47.440 But just a data set now

00:31:50.020 to be parsed and projected

00:31:51.720 and used politically.

00:31:56.160 And here's the real sick part of this. 0.80

00:31:59.720 The more meaningful your death, 0.96

00:32:01.840 the more valuable your ghost.

00:32:03.640 If that doesn't shake you to your core,

00:32:10.600 nothing's going to.

00:32:12.020 If this doesn't wake you up

00:32:13.700 to the dangers of AI,

00:32:16.800 nothing will.

00:32:18.380 If this doesn't wake you up to go,

00:32:20.740 oh dear God,

00:32:22.740 I've got to get back to the basics.

00:32:25.140 I have to start asking the questions,

00:32:27.420 what does it mean to be human?

00:32:30.600 Nothing will.

00:32:31.680 We have to draw

00:32:36.940 really strong ethical hard lines

00:32:40.220 in the sand

00:32:41.540 on the use of AI,

00:32:44.480 the use of likeness of the dead.

00:32:47.480 It should be codified in the law

00:32:49.380 internationally.

00:32:50.620 And I'm not saying,

00:32:51.880 you know,

00:32:52.120 you're not bringing characters back.

00:32:54.600 You know,

00:32:54.980 you're not bringing,

00:32:55.780 you're not bringing things back to,

00:32:59.880 you know,

00:33:00.100 show them in movies

00:33:01.000 or for entertainment

00:33:01.960 or whatever.

00:33:03.440 But when you're bringing

00:33:04.600 dead children back,

00:33:07.440 I don't know,

00:33:11.300 I think there's a problem here.

00:33:12.820 There's a problem.

00:33:14.600 And we also have to teach

00:33:15.960 our kids discernment here.

00:33:17.500 Critical thinking,

00:33:19.260 you know,

00:33:19.640 and more than critical thinking,

00:33:21.260 moral reasoning

00:33:22.300 has got to be taught.

00:33:24.100 We need a generation 1.00

00:33:25.600 that knows the difference

00:33:26.840 between the real

00:33:27.880 and artificial,

00:33:28.900 between the sacred

00:33:30.040 and the synthetic,

00:33:32.440 because that's going to be blurred.

00:33:34.460 All of it is blurred.

00:33:35.420 How long before 0.88

00:33:40.100 a Jim Acosta clown 0.97

00:33:41.860 isn't the one doing it? 0.95

00:33:43.960 But somebody serious.

00:33:55.140 Transparency

00:33:55.740 from media,

00:33:57.380 from tech,

00:33:58.300 not after the fact,

00:33:59.620 but before the images

00:34:00.880 even appear on the screen.

00:34:02.560 Now,

00:34:03.120 to his credit,

00:34:04.660 he did say this was AI,

00:34:06.540 of course,

00:34:07.120 but it's a ghost.

00:34:10.000 We have to reawaken

00:34:11.580 the soul,

00:34:13.000 the concept

00:34:13.940 of the soul.

00:34:15.540 This is why I've said

00:34:16.920 for years

00:34:17.780 that Ray Kurzweil

00:34:19.560 is one of the scariest guys

00:34:20.760 I've ever met,

00:34:21.860 because he doesn't believe

00:34:23.060 in the soul.

00:34:23.960 He believes

00:34:24.920 that that,

00:34:26.320 what you just saw,

00:34:27.560 is just as real

00:34:28.840 as the real kid.

00:34:30.300 The soul

00:34:32.660 can't be copied,

00:34:33.980 it can't be coded,

00:34:35.480 it can't be

00:34:36.320 commodified,

00:34:38.400 because we lose

00:34:41.680 our soul

00:34:42.300 in our culture.

00:34:44.220 If we lose it

00:34:45.460 in our culture,

00:34:47.040 in our politics,

00:34:48.400 in our mourning,

00:34:49.680 in our journalism,

00:34:51.200 then you've got

00:34:51.720 nothing left.

00:34:53.120 And doesn't

00:34:53.720 Joaquin Oliver

00:34:54.580 deserve dignity

00:34:55.660 in life?

00:34:56.440 Everybody knows

00:34:59.680 he deserved

00:35:00.340 peace in death,

00:35:02.020 right?

00:35:03.320 What he didn't

00:35:04.460 deserve

00:35:05.060 is to be

00:35:06.400 animated by code

00:35:07.960 to deliver

00:35:08.840 a political message

00:35:10.280 like a branded

00:35:11.620 mascot.

00:35:13.320 I'm sorry,

00:35:14.060 but if this is

00:35:14.640 the parents doing,

00:35:15.720 the parents,

00:35:16.720 the parents,

00:35:17.780 shame on you.

00:35:19.100 Shame on you.

00:35:20.760 I,

00:35:21.020 I,

00:35:21.580 I understand

00:35:22.640 your grief

00:35:23.320 as much as a parent

00:35:24.460 can that hasn't

00:35:25.300 lost a child.

00:35:26.120 I understand

00:35:26.880 your grief,

00:35:27.960 but this is sick. 0.52

00:35:32.980 You know

00:35:33.700 where this road

00:35:34.240 leads?

00:35:34.780 It leads to a future

00:35:35.880 where grief

00:35:36.560 can be licensed,

00:35:37.980 where every dead

00:35:39.420 child becomes

00:35:40.240 a campaign

00:35:40.940 and where being

00:35:41.740 alive no longer

00:35:43.100 requires a pulse.

00:35:44.620 Just a well-trained

00:35:45.640 AI model.

00:35:46.460 You never died.

00:35:48.120 That's not

00:35:48.720 compassion.

00:35:49.580 That is not

00:35:50.240 progress.

00:35:51.440 That is hell

00:35:52.780 wearing the mask

00:35:54.180 of empathy.

00:35:54.900 shame on you,

00:35:57.940 Jim Acosta.

00:35:59.920 Because

00:36:00.400 out of all

00:36:01.280 the people

00:36:01.760 that could have

00:36:02.360 done this,

00:36:03.100 you're only

00:36:03.580 doing it for PR.

00:36:05.480 You're only

00:36:06.140 doing it because

00:36:06.820 you need

00:36:07.800 the attention.

00:36:09.160 It's sick. 0.58

00:36:12.260 And Americans 0.95

00:36:13.060 have to stand up

00:36:13.840 and say no

00:36:14.660 more.

00:36:14.860 You have to

00:36:15.860 at least in

00:36:16.440 your personal

00:36:17.120 life make a

00:36:19.220 decision what

00:36:20.560 is life and

00:36:22.820 what is death

00:36:24.000 worth.

00:36:27.400 Back in a minute.

00:36:28.240 Alright, let me

00:36:32.700 tell you about

00:36:33.040 leaf filter.

00:36:34.060 So you could

00:36:34.580 keep drawing

00:36:35.200 straws every

00:36:36.340 time you have

00:36:37.660 to go up on

00:36:38.140 the ladder and

00:36:38.660 clean out the

00:36:39.100 gutters to see

00:36:39.680 who's going to

00:36:40.100 fall.

00:36:40.820 You could

00:36:41.240 keep accidentally

00:36:43.420 snipping your 0.86

00:36:44.540 wife's straw a 0.98

00:36:45.240 little shorter

00:36:45.680 when she's not

00:36:46.320 looking just to

00:36:46.880 make sure she

00:36:47.460 loses.

00:36:48.200 But here's the

00:36:49.200 thing.

00:36:49.900 She's going to

00:36:50.460 figure that out

00:36:51.160 and one day she's

00:36:51.900 going to grab that

00:36:52.400 tiny little straw

00:36:53.040 and look at you

00:36:53.420 and go,

00:36:53.760 okay, fun's

00:36:55.280 over, funny guy.

00:36:56.320 And then you're

00:36:57.120 up there on the

00:36:57.720 ladder and you're

00:36:59.580 wobbling on the

00:37:00.320 ladder trying to

00:37:00.980 scoop out the

00:37:01.620 gross slimy leaf

00:37:02.820 burrito while

00:37:03.620 trying not to

00:37:04.280 die.

00:37:04.660 Oh, I know.

00:37:05.300 I've been there.

00:37:07.200 You could just

00:37:08.060 call leaf filter.

00:37:09.400 That's easy.

00:37:10.120 They install a

00:37:10.780 simple permanent

00:37:14.380 gutters for good.

00:37:15.280 And the next time

00:37:15.940 your wife says,

00:37:16.600 hey, aren't you

00:37:17.400 supposed to clean 0.89

00:37:18.140 the gutters out

00:37:52.900 liable to catch

00:37:53.720 a hoof to the 0.95

00:37:54.660 face.

00:37:55.660 And trust me,

00:37:57.880 that ain't

00:37:58.660 pleasant.

00:37:59.640 Beck will be

00:38:00.660 right back

00:38:01.340 after this.

00:38:15.680 Well, you probably

00:38:16.580 think your home's

00:38:17.240 title is safely

00:38:17.920 locked away

00:38:18.580 somewhere.

00:38:19.700 Honestly, criminals

00:38:20.680 have already

00:38:21.100 discovered probably

00:38:22.360 where it is.

00:38:22.940 they've discovered

00:38:23.860 a way to take

00:38:24.880 it from you

00:38:25.380 and they're

00:38:26.560 becoming one

00:38:27.120 of America's

00:38:27.840 fastest growing

00:38:28.700 scams.

00:38:30.000 This is what

00:38:30.460 happens.

00:38:31.020 Thieves don't

00:38:31.600 even need to

00:38:32.240 set foot on

00:38:32.700 your property.

00:38:33.260 They just use

00:38:33.720 AI to perfectly

00:38:35.540 copy your

00:38:36.140 signature and

00:38:36.880 then fake a

00:38:37.580 notary seal.

00:38:38.420 And then they

00:38:38.980 file fraudulent

00:38:39.960 paperwork at the

00:38:40.720 county office,

00:38:41.320 which processes

00:38:42.320 it without ever

00:38:43.000 asking a single

00:38:43.780 question.

00:38:44.660 Nobody checks.

00:38:45.500 Nobody calls.

00:38:46.760 Your home's title

00:38:47.800 is quietly shifted

00:38:49.140 out of your hands

00:38:50.100 into theirs.

00:38:50.920 And once they've

00:38:51.480 grabbed your title,

00:38:52.640 these criminals

00:38:53.100 can borrow large

00:38:54.000 sums of money

00:38:54.600 against your

00:38:55.080 home's equity

00:38:55.660 and take the

00:38:56.220 cash and vanish.

00:38:57.320 And then where

00:38:58.160 are you?

00:38:58.640 Well, you've got

00:38:59.540 no idea that this

00:39:00.420 is even going on

00:39:01.080 until foreclosure

00:39:01.880 notices or loan

00:39:02.840 defaults start

00:39:03.760 showing up.

00:39:04.800 And the good news

00:39:05.400 is you can stop

00:39:06.020 it before it

00:39:06.560 happens if you

00:39:07.240 go to

00:39:49.580 Welcome to the

00:40:00.140 Glenn Beck

00:40:00.640 program.

00:40:01.540 So Stu and I

00:40:02.060 are just discussing

00:40:02.860 which one was

00:40:04.000 more lifelike,

00:40:05.420 Jim Acosta

00:40:06.700 or Joaquin

00:40:10.040 Oliver, who's

00:40:12.100 been dead now

00:40:12.840 since Parkland.

00:40:13.820 It's hard to

00:40:14.860 measure that

00:40:16.040 honestly.

00:40:17.540 Acosta is 0.68

00:40:18.560 you know

00:40:19.360 certainly 1.00

00:40:20.120 brainless. 0.99

00:40:21.540 I don't know 0.99

00:40:21.940 if he's lifeless

00:40:22.620 completely but

00:40:23.380 it seems that

00:40:24.360 way certainly

00:40:24.820 in this clip.

00:40:25.740 I can't

00:40:26.580 like Jim Acosta

00:40:28.300 should go back

00:40:29.240 and create an

00:40:30.140 AI version of

00:40:31.100 his younger

00:40:31.500 self and warn

00:40:32.540 himself about

00:40:33.180 what his career

00:40:33.840 is going to

00:40:34.300 become.

00:40:35.000 Like that he

00:40:36.360 should go.

00:40:37.180 I don't think

00:40:37.720 he'll care.

00:40:38.620 I don't think

00:40:39.060 he would care.

00:40:39.520 You don't think

00:40:39.600 his younger self

00:40:40.200 would care?

00:40:41.180 No.

00:40:41.880 Well now he

00:40:43.160 would.

00:40:43.620 Now he would

00:40:44.440 because now

00:40:45.140 it's like Jim

00:40:46.840 you're going to

00:40:47.200 do a big deal

00:40:47.920 in Washington

00:40:48.480 you're going to

00:40:49.040 you're going to

00:40:49.480 make the tickets

00:40:50.100 for free

00:40:50.640 you're going to

00:40:50.940 have homeless

00:40:51.460 you're going to

00:40:51.840 invite homeless

00:40:52.760 people to the

00:40:53.660 show in the

00:40:54.160 theater and no

00:40:55.620 one's going to

00:40:56.260 show up.

00:40:56.740 And no one.

00:40:57.280 I mean it's just

00:40:57.720 an absolute

00:40:58.400 failure.

00:40:59.060 I mean this is

00:40:59.480 a guy who

00:41:00.000 there's a certain

00:41:01.520 class of let me

00:41:03.440 just put in air

00:41:04.140 quotes journalist

00:41:04.920 that sort of

00:41:06.460 only survives

00:41:07.600 because of like

00:41:08.820 the network

00:41:09.420 structure.

00:41:10.440 Right.

00:41:10.920 Like there's

00:41:11.740 you know they

00:41:12.420 get a job.

00:41:13.300 they kind of

00:41:13.900 come up under

00:41:14.700 a big you know

00:41:15.580 company.

00:41:16.220 They never really

00:41:16.840 make a lot of

00:41:17.420 waves.

00:41:17.960 They never really

00:41:18.500 do anything

00:41:18.860 impressive but

00:41:19.680 you know they

00:41:20.480 need people who

00:41:21.200 be on the air

00:41:21.860 and report on

00:41:22.480 stories and they

00:41:23.100 kind of just

00:41:23.520 stick around.

00:41:24.820 And Acosta

00:41:25.420 thinks of

00:41:26.600 himself as like

00:41:27.780 above that

00:41:28.540 like a guy with

00:41:29.820 a dynamic

00:41:30.500 personality who's

00:41:31.780 really making a

00:41:32.700 difference that

00:41:33.380 people really want

00:41:34.260 to hear from.

00:41:34.920 and those people

00:41:36.140 do exist.

00:41:37.080 He's just not

00:41:37.820 one of them.

00:41:39.220 So I think

00:41:40.780 him trying to

00:41:41.880 he like this is

00:41:43.240 an incredibly 1.00

00:41:44.680 pathetic stunt 0.99

00:41:46.540 where he's trying 1.00

00:41:48.280 and demanding

00:41:49.380 people talk about

00:41:50.660 him and get his 0.67

00:41:51.200 attention and

00:41:52.400 any I mean

00:41:53.780 any normal

00:41:55.400 human being

00:41:56.360 would realize

00:41:57.100 this is just a

00:41:58.240 terrible idea.

00:41:59.200 Forget that it's

00:42:00.020 distasteful.

00:42:01.020 Forget that it's

00:42:02.140 you know this

00:42:02.580 grotesque thing

00:42:03.960 that you're trying

00:42:04.720 to do to make a

00:42:05.540 political point.

00:42:06.860 Everyone on

00:42:07.880 earth I think

00:42:08.600 would realize it's

00:42:09.580 just a terrible

00:42:10.360 idea and it's

00:42:10.980 going to go

00:42:11.260 horribly and he 0.60

00:42:12.840 is not apparently

00:42:13.600 smart enough to

00:42:14.660 do that.

00:42:15.300 It's not even

00:42:15.920 it's not even

00:42:16.620 that it's not

00:42:17.340 that I mean if

00:42:18.220 you could take

00:42:19.120 the essence of

00:42:21.800 who he was

00:42:24.560 it still would

00:42:26.400 not be him.

00:42:28.340 But if you

00:42:28.840 had you know

00:42:30.240 because we're

00:42:30.900 building a Glenn

00:42:31.720 AI.

00:42:32.140 for me and

00:42:32.860 it's it's

00:42:33.620 based solely

00:42:34.900 on the words

00:42:36.300 that I have

00:42:36.740 spoken or

00:42:37.640 written on

00:42:39.840 stage on radio

00:42:40.860 on television

00:42:41.580 for the last

00:42:42.260 30 years and

00:42:43.180 that's all it

00:42:43.900 can pull from

00:42:44.600 so it at

00:42:46.920 least it at

00:42:48.640 least is

00:42:49.320 reflective of

00:42:50.600 what I believe

00:42:51.760 but that's not

00:42:53.460 what they did.

00:42:54.420 They didn't

00:42:55.200 download.

00:42:55.860 I mean how

00:42:56.140 much did they

00:42:56.660 have that they

00:42:57.580 could download

00:42:58.160 not enough to

00:42:58.900 make that this

00:43:00.020 is a puppeteer.

00:43:01.200 he is a

00:43:02.200 virtual meat 0.99

00:43:03.360 sock.

00:43:04.380 Yeah I mean

00:43:04.960 it is so

00:43:05.940 unbelievably

00:43:07.220 distasteful.

00:43:08.760 The Parkland

00:43:09.280 was a it was

00:43:10.220 middle was it

00:43:10.840 middle school.

00:43:11.480 It's been so

00:43:12.200 long now.

00:43:12.860 I thought that

00:43:13.680 was high school.

00:43:14.200 Was it high school

00:43:14.720 is young high

00:43:15.320 school.

00:43:15.660 I just don't

00:43:17.060 believe you're

00:43:18.240 going to have

00:43:18.820 highly formed

00:43:20.320 opinions on

00:43:21.580 you know gun

00:43:23.440 violence policy.

00:43:24.560 Right it's a

00:43:24.900 parents.

00:43:26.260 I think you're

00:43:27.240 right to give

00:43:28.040 all sorts of

00:43:28.620 grace to the

00:43:29.180 parents and I

00:43:30.140 know probably

00:43:31.080 there's some

00:43:31.460 people who

00:43:31.760 would disagree

00:43:32.080 with us on

00:43:32.560 this but I

00:43:32.960 mean if you

00:43:33.180 think about

00:43:33.500 losing your

00:43:34.020 kid like you're 0.86

00:43:34.820 probably going

00:43:35.160 to do all 0.55

00:43:35.500 sorts of crazy

00:43:36.040 stuff for the

00:43:36.540 rest of your

00:43:36.900 life.

00:43:37.220 I don't know.

00:43:37.680 I mean I don't

00:43:38.000 even I don't

00:43:38.340 know I can't

00:43:39.260 even imagine

00:43:40.100 going through

00:43:41.600 something like

00:43:42.080 that and how I

00:43:42.780 would react to

00:43:43.340 it probably really

00:43:44.300 badly so I

00:43:45.200 hope I never

00:43:45.660 do.

00:43:46.080 Yeah God

00:43:46.900 forbid and if

00:43:47.760 you do there's

00:43:49.120 all sorts of

00:43:49.700 built-in excuses

00:43:50.540 frankly that I

00:43:51.500 you know I'll

00:43:51.940 provide you and

00:43:53.660 lots of grace

00:43:54.380 you know I

00:43:55.220 don't know you

00:43:55.720 I mean this to

00:43:57.640 me this is this

00:43:58.740 is the type of

00:43:59.280 thing you should

00:43:59.680 probably catch as

00:44:00.860 a bad idea but

00:44:02.160 it's really hard to

00:44:03.820 put yourself in

00:44:04.440 that situation so

00:44:05.400 you know it's

00:44:06.600 it's it's much

00:44:07.640 much worse to

00:44:08.360 talk about Jim

00:44:09.020 Acosta who's

00:44:09.760 taking their pain

00:44:10.740 their suffering and

00:44:12.040 their honestly bad

00:44:13.180 decision-making

00:44:14.000 and using it

00:44:15.860 for his own

00:44:16.960 like PR tour

00:44:19.620 it's he is

00:44:20.960 that's all it 1.00

00:44:21.440 is so pathetic 0.99

00:44:23.360 I don't know that 1.00

00:44:24.640 there's a more 1.00

00:44:25.380 pathetic figure in 1.00

00:44:26.800 the media today and 1.00

00:44:28.100 I'm including Keith

00:44:29.300 Olbermann in that

00:44:30.120 discussion I was

00:44:31.720 just thinking that

00:44:32.540 I was thinking this

00:44:33.880 is beyond Keith

00:44:35.020 Olbermann wow who I

00:44:36.580 just have zero

00:44:37.960 respect for this

00:44:39.380 is Glenn Beck

00:44:41.100 let me talk to you

00:44:55.060 a little bit about

00:44:55.640 uh Patriot Mobile if

00:44:56.900 I if I can for just

00:44:58.240 a second uh they

00:44:59.760 are our sponsor um

00:45:01.540 you know I don't

00:45:04.620 know what you did

00:45:05.040 this morning maybe

00:45:05.620 got up and read your

00:45:06.380 Bible said your

00:45:07.000 prayers whatever uh

00:45:08.620 you know maybe it

00:45:09.500 was taking a walk

00:45:10.460 instead of strolling

00:45:11.320 you know scrolling on

00:45:12.300 your phone um but

00:45:14.220 this week this month

00:45:15.780 what is the best

00:45:16.580 choice that you have

00:45:17.440 actually made that

00:45:18.900 has made a difference

00:45:20.280 uh of course the

00:45:22.400 religious stuff the

00:45:23.320 spiritual stuff is

00:45:24.180 really really uh

00:45:25.640 paramount but if if

00:45:27.420 you could add

00:45:28.280 switching to Patriot

00:45:29.500 Mobile to that list

00:45:30.500 because you might be

00:45:31.900 missing one of the

00:45:32.640 easiest most in most

00:45:34.780 impactful choices that

00:45:36.840 you can make because

00:45:37.680 Patriot Mobile is not

00:45:38.760 just a cell phone

00:45:39.500 company it is a

00:45:40.440 mission and they

00:45:41.420 provide affordable

00:45:42.300 reliable coverage on

00:45:43.580 the same networks that

00:45:44.580 the big guys use and

00:45:45.580 they don't spend your

00:45:46.240 money supporting

00:45:46.760 policies and causes

00:45:47.780 that undermine your

00:45:48.520 values you can switch

00:47:30.700 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:47:34.740 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:47:39.700 so i want to talk to you about something that is not a bug in the system it is a feature and it's

00:47:46.600 called gerrymandering and the term comes from eldridge uh jerry he was a founding father he

00:47:53.020 was from massachusetts i believe and he approved a redistricting map in 1812 and it was so

00:47:59.680 contorted in such a squiggly line it looked like a salamander hence gerrymandering jerry

00:48:08.560 governor of massachusetts mander salamander the irony is is that uh uh he opposed strong centralized

00:48:19.320 power but his name is now the brand of one of the most anti-democratic practices in modern politics

00:48:26.920 except it started in 1812 and every both sides do it now it is the feature of the system you want to

00:48:35.580 change that we can talk about that but what's happening in texas is the democrats uh the

00:48:42.340 democrats believe that you know they can do it wherever they are uh but the democrats the republicans

00:48:49.020 better not try it well that's not the way it works unfortunately gang for for you i know you like

00:48:56.320 special privileges but uh both parties are equal i guess ken paxton is here to tell us what is

00:49:03.780 happening with the texas democrats what's going to happen with the texas democrats and what should

00:49:09.940 happen talk to him in 60 seconds first let me tell you about our sponsor at z factor you're a regular

00:49:23.980 congratulations you either don't have kids yet or you're under 30 uh enjoy that while it lasts but

00:49:30.500 if you're not one of those people you toss and turn your mind races you stare at the ceiling for

00:49:35.540 hours as they slip away a third of your life isn't being spent resting it's being spent struggling

00:50:14.340 number four relief z factor from relieffactor.com ken paxton welcome to the program great to be back

00:50:23.540 glenn hope you're doing well the same by the way how are the polls going for you how's the uh race

00:50:29.500 you're running against cornyn well it's going well i mean the the numbers every poll i've seen even

00:50:36.820 polls i haven't done have me way up my own polls have me up 25 points and we just continue i just

00:50:42.760 continue to do the same job i've done over the last 11 years and he's uh obviously changed his uh his

00:50:48.300 focus from being what he was to being a all-in trump guy for the last few months it's a it's a

00:50:54.900 miracle he's a converted guy i know i know uh okay so ken let's talk a little bit about uh gerrymandering

00:51:01.620 and what is happening here in the state of texas uh the the democ go ahead no no you go ahead and ask

00:51:09.020 the question i should wait at least for the question yeah the democrats uh don't like the fact that the

00:51:15.340 republicans are going to do some gerrymandering here which is done everywhere else so they have

00:51:19.820 left the state this is the third time they've done it so what is their plan what is what should

00:51:27.600 happen and what are you as the attorney general and the government of the governor going to do about it

00:51:33.240 first of all it's pretty ironic that they're going to illinois new york and massachusetts three of the

00:51:39.180 most liberal states and some of the most gerrymandered states in the country i think illinois might be the

00:51:44.020 most gerrymandered if you look at illinois and how it's drawn i think 82 percent of the members of

00:51:49.340 congress are democrats whereas 48 percent of the population votes republican so it doesn't match up

00:51:55.560 even closely so they read texas as the democrats the 51 some of them go to chicago to a state that is

00:52:02.580 completely gerrymandered so it's really hypocritical in my my view what they're doing as you've already

00:52:08.400 mentioned in the prelude to talking to me so the goal here is i mean i honestly would have locked

00:52:14.020 them up when they were in the house texas speaker could have shut the doors and kept everybody and 0.99

00:52:20.100 we've done that we did that back in 2003 and once the doors are locked you can't get out and you spend

00:52:25.340 the night there and you vote and they could have done that they did not do that so they let the

00:52:30.040 what do they say the cat out of the bag the cat's gone so now you either arrest them which you're not

00:52:34.280 going to get help from jurisdictions like illinois boston and boston you're not going to get help

00:52:39.740 massachusetts or new york so arresting them is not likely scenario until they come back what has

00:52:45.820 happened in the past is our governors have waited them out because ultimately they many of them have

00:52:51.100 to come back they have jobs they have families they're not going to live in illinois it gets cold

00:52:54.320 up there and new york's cold boston's cold so they come back and we vote and every time we've

00:53:00.100 ultimately been successful another option we're looking at as a matter of fact when i get out of this

00:53:03.920 fall i'm meeting with a bunch of my lawyers to talk about this uh this quo puerento which is a

00:53:09.600 possibility that we looked into a couple of years ago we suggested it might be a way to take existing

00:53:15.860 members out of their positions if they fail to show up uh to perform their duties now you take them out

00:53:22.420 of the positions but then there has to be a special election so you can't go right to vote right yeah no

00:53:30.040 because you can that changes the quorum i think it'll change the quorum so you have less numbers

00:53:36.020 your quorum numbers change so abbott could also appoint i think could appoint and uh at least until

00:53:44.940 there's a special election some of these might be appointed positions as well for a period of time

00:53:49.340 so there's possibility it's definitely not a fast process although we're trying to figure out a way to

00:53:54.700 fast track it uh so that we can get an answer sooner rather than later otherwise it's just a

00:53:59.860 it's just a waiting game either way in the end we we know how this is going to turn out because

00:54:04.920 governor avid is not going to back down and he'll just keep calling them back until they show up

00:54:09.320 this is a nuclear weapon that they launched and all you're going to hear from the media is if you launch

00:54:18.280 back they're going to just say that you're using a nuclear weapon you're destroying the republic etc etc

00:54:25.000 but they're the ones that launched the nuclear strike you don't do that and this is the third

00:54:30.820 time they've tried this and it doesn't work well what's interesting glenn is i mean i've been i've been

00:54:38.220 i was in texas house starting 2003 served 10 years in the house two years in the senate been ag for 11

00:54:42.560 the only thing they've ever left on it's not abortion it's not you know welfare it's it's you

00:54:49.760 know what it's always this this is what they care about they care about controlling congress about

00:54:55.320 controlling things through manipulation and these are the rules of the game the supreme court laid down

00:55:00.880 the rules you can as you said you can gerrymander as long as it's political the legislature has every

00:55:06.620 right to draw the lines however they want to and they could be really bad lines for the other party but

00:55:11.680 they're allowed to do it under texas or under a u.s supreme court precedent and it is a state's

00:55:17.700 decision this is not a federal decision this is a state's decision every every state can do whatever

00:55:23.820 it is what do you think about new york which is already gerrymandered what do you think about new

00:55:28.820 york saying well if texas is going to do that then we're just going to gerrymander even more

00:55:33.340 well look they're they're entitled to do whatever their state constitution their laws allow them to do

00:55:40.280 there's always a risk you go too far and you stretch those seats too far there are republicans

00:55:45.920 in new york i know because my family's from there um there are republicans and if you draw those

00:55:50.780 seats too tightly you can you can end up losing some of those down the road i will uh i'll tell you

00:55:58.180 that uh you know the problem with gerrymandering in in my opinion and the founders you know both

00:56:03.640 jefferson and i think it was i think it was adams and jefferson wrote about this and uh this is about

00:56:11.060 1820 so after gerrymandering had started um and they talked about how this was a flaw in the

00:56:17.760 constitution that they wish they would have put in what are called stakes and it comes right from the

00:56:23.360 old testament where you know you start with uh you know 500 people and then that's a square

00:56:30.820 and then when that becomes you know a thousand people you cut it in half and it becomes another

00:56:36.420 square and so it just you don't you can't gerrymander everything just keeps growing and

00:56:41.840 you just keep cutting it in squares because the problem is when you gerrymander all of a sudden

00:56:47.820 your neighbors don't matter all of a sudden you might be represented by somebody who's way away

00:56:53.900 from your community instead of somebody who's living right in your community and the other thing is

00:56:59.540 you no longer care about the middle you're only playing to the extremes because you've cut

00:57:06.260 everyone else out that would help balance you at all it's really dangerous do you agree with that or

00:57:12.640 not no i absolutely agree with you it's just that's not the system the founders put in place

00:57:18.600 and as a result you know you the democrats are going to do it you can you can sit back and say well

00:57:24.880 philosophically i'm against this and the democrats are just going to control the house and the

00:57:31.740 senate forever because we're against this you can't let that happen so right right um i agree

00:57:37.380 with you it's it's not it's not ideal but you play by the rules just like in football you might like

00:57:42.600 all the rules but you play by the rules you got correct um so you're going to decide i mean

00:57:48.420 on a warrant or warrants have been uh have been issued right but it's it's one where they come

00:57:55.940 into the state and it's not they don't take you don't take them to jail you take them to the house

00:58:00.520 correct yes it's not a prison sentence i mean unless you consider being on the texas house floor

00:58:05.280 which i often did uh a prison sentence um but because you figure if you're if the doors are shut

00:58:11.080 and you're stuck with all those people sometimes you wish you weren't um right yeah it's just it's just

00:58:15.540 uh they're once they step into the state they'll be escorted back to the house and presumably

00:58:20.900 they'll do what i suggested and and either if they're not going to step there you know they're

00:58:26.760 going to if they come back they're going to stay they've made their decision so who knows when that'll

00:58:31.960 be but i think in the end it won't matter it'll happen the way the way the republicans have planned it

00:58:38.560 ken thank you very much are we you're going to be looking into who paid for these flights

00:58:45.380 it's my understanding that some of them were flying private jets and i'd like to know who paid

00:58:50.040 for those that that just has to be declared before the next election or at the end of the year

00:58:55.440 so um during special session we they have to report on their campaign expenditures and their campaign

00:59:03.480 contributions so that will all be seen by the public within i think a month after session something

00:59:10.000 like that so the special session last 30 days i forget exactly what day he called it

00:59:14.900 um sometime in i i would say sometime in in september we should know that information

00:59:20.100 wow thank you so much ken i appreciate it keep up the good work absolutely have a great day

00:59:25.660 you bet bye-bye so stew i mean it's nuclear war it's nuclear war it's a very pathetic version of

00:59:37.820 nuclear war where you run away to jb pritzker i mean it's not it's not the day after exactly 0.99

00:59:46.660 it's sissy yes it's sissy yeah it's nuclear war it's democrat nuclear war it really is pathetic 0.97

00:59:52.620 right it's it's this you know you're scampering away to hide behind a very large governor in another 0.99

00:59:59.300 state and and we should also highlight why it's illinois there's a reason for this right like you

01:00:07.120 know you could go there is a an indian native american reservation with a with the world's largest

01:00:14.680 casino glenn right over the border of texas they could go there and stay there and uh they'd be

01:00:22.560 across state lines they're in illinois because you know fundraising exactly they're looking because

01:00:29.560 they want jb pritzker to be their sugar daddy and they also realize that jb pritzker's likely going to

01:00:35.760 run for president in 2028 uh these people want to be uh close to that those types of uh that type of

01:00:42.860 money he's a billionaire and uh and that type of influence and so they're going there to sort of

01:00:47.980 scout whatever their next gig is or wherever the next donation is coming from it's got nothing to do

01:00:53.300 with uh you know caring about any of this like of course they care about the seats you know canon's

01:00:59.620 right like that's seemingly their most central interest is power but this is all this is this works

01:01:07.080 on multiple fronts for their continued power and this is why they're doing it even though they know

01:01:11.200 they're going to fail i mean there's no there's no way this ends with with texas not having a quorum

01:01:17.960 for the rest of uh the term like that's not that's not how this ends no no uh you know and it's it's

01:01:25.100 what's sad is they're supposed to be talking about uh property tax relief that if you really want to

01:01:30.340 help your constituents you pass that you you change the property tax rules the property tax in texas is

01:01:37.680 just like florida completely out of control completely out of control yeah i i certainly

01:01:46.040 agree with that uh but there's also the flood you know these flood victims you know and and it's funny

01:01:51.600 because the way the media is spinning this is that republicans are stopping it it's like what no wait

01:01:59.540 wait a minute the democrats are in another state what do you mean republicans are stopping the funding

01:02:03.820 they come back and then they can start talking about the funding for uh yes they're going to do

01:02:08.760 the maps that's going to be part of it and that's going to happen either way but this way would also

01:02:12.320 get the money to uh you know the people that need it in these flood zones that is and it's fascinating

01:02:18.060 that the republicans get the blame for that um just like the republic just like israel's getting the 0.81

01:02:22.800 blame for the starving hostages now you know where wait a minute hamas is starving the

01:02:30.200 hostages but it's israel's fault that they're starving like i it's hard to even follow the 0.85

01:02:36.460 logic but that's where we are with it i know i know and the other thing is is they were getting

01:02:40.840 rid of the uh uh the star tests which your kids have taken star testing stew uh maybe i don't know

01:02:49.280 i don't pay attention to it much they just you know they they come and go as they please

01:02:53.700 the star testing is the state of texas the standard standardized test and uh yeah everybody hates

01:03:01.280 it teachers hate it kids hate it because it's just you're teaching half of the year just to that test

01:03:06.920 and it's ridiculous you gotta stop teaching to tests that's what makes schools so depressing

01:03:15.240 is you're just memorizing for tests you're just memorizing and and what is that teaching you

01:03:20.600 that's not teaching you how to think that's teaching you what to think and how to answer

01:03:25.200 questions on a test uh that you've memorized it's it's ridiculous i don't know why we do it and that's

01:03:33.300 another thing that is on the uh on the list but you know the democrats had to get out of town so they

01:03:38.520 could gosh darn it so they could stand for their constituents yeah you know i mean i know this isn't

01:03:44.920 the topic but i'm not i don't hate them as much as everybody else does standardized testing 0.62

01:03:50.160 you know i get why it has a bad rep and i i understand okay what why that is okay hang on

01:03:56.320 but i just thought for a second i thought you were talking about the democrats there for a second oh my

01:04:00.580 god no oh my god no okay let me tell you about burna i carry a burna launcher and i do for one

01:04:07.860 very simple reason because i want options in a dangerous situation the choices that you can make are

01:04:13.340 everything and sometimes the choice between doing nothing and using lethal force isn't really good

01:04:19.200 enough the burner launcher will fill that gap it's a non-lethal self-defense tool that gives you

01:04:25.140 real stopping power without a single drop of deadly force it launches pepper projectiles that create a

01:04:31.480 cloud of irritant gas on impact or tear gas it disorients uh it stops them on impact and it buys you

01:04:40.120 time to escape or get help this is something that i so urge you to get for your family and your family

01:04:47.660 members especially if you're sending your kids off to college it is lightweight is convenient the the

01:04:53.160 new compact launcher is really easy to conceal it's legal in all 50 states you don't need a background

01:04:59.560 check or permit you can keep it in your bag your car i have it on my back all the time and something

01:05:07.060 that really matters is the fact that it is legal and it's not going to kill anyone look i hope i never

01:05:13.780 have to use it or my kids never have to use it but they have it they're prepared carry a birna launcher

01:05:18.820 go to birna byrna.com slash glenn learn more it's birna byrna.com slash glenn go there now or you can

01:05:27.200 try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse location near you it's birna byrna.com slash glenn

01:05:35.040 10 seconds station id

01:05:38.080 so could i show and this comes with a warning uh may i show the picture of the prime minister of

01:05:58.700 canada in vancouver uh prime minister mark carney known as a very serious man

01:06:06.780 hugging a guy at the gay pride parade now which one is carney uh carney's the one in the pink 0.58

01:06:17.160 who has the pink thing on his chest oh oh i should be right yeah because there's a pink thong in the 1.00

01:06:23.740 picture too i thought maybe you were saying yeah he that was him he's the so you're saying he's the

01:06:28.980 one in the suit not the one yeah that's probably a better way to say it he's the one in the suit

01:06:33.580 yeah right uh that is uh that's disgusting uh and he just wanted to go because you know he just wanted 0.95

01:06:42.660 to show his support uh for you know gay pride and you can do that without hanging out with guys in a 0.87

01:06:51.560 pink thong uh and nothing else out on the streets i mean i think you could be pro lgbtq uh and not do

01:07:02.200 that you know i don't think that's uh you don't think you have to have physical contact with a naked

01:07:08.620 man to support lgbt no i don't i really don't i really don't it might be a little demeaning i mean 0.97

01:07:16.620 even the canadians are mocking him for this really yeah i mean look at how pathetic he looks

01:07:24.400 yeah and he's like keeping his distance he's like okay i'm gonna give you a shoulder hug you know or 0.99

01:07:29.620 my shoulder touches your shoulder okay i'm not looking directly at you it's pathetic there's a 0.89

01:07:36.040 bit of disconnect from reality when it comes to politicians and these especially these parades 0.67

01:07:40.960 where like i think in their mind it's like oh it's a parade to support rights and like they like

01:07:47.380 i can't believe that that you know conservatives would highlight the you know the every sure there's

01:07:52.360 a bunch of people running around with sex toys or whatever but like that i can't believe they would

01:07:55.880 highlight them and then they go down there and they realize it's actually a big part of the festival

01:08:00.040 you know it's a oh yeah the festivities are basically yeah it's it's not like a wnba game you know

01:08:07.660 what i mean oh there's one it's the whole thing this is glenn beck civilizational collapse uh oh i

01:08:19.060 got something happy on that coming up in just a second hang on uh let me tell you about rough greens

01:08:23.580 think how many times a day your dog makes you smile maybe it's the way he greets you at the door

01:08:27.460 you've just returned you know uh just from you know being gone for an hour but it's like you came back

01:08:33.120 from war uh maybe it's the wet nose on your knee while you're trying to work the side eye he gives

01:08:38.500 you when you start talking to him like he's a person he totally gets it he totally gets it our

01:08:43.320 dogs don't ask for much just a walk and a treat once in a while you know a scratch behind the ears

01:08:48.440 they deserve more than the same old dry kibble food that we're giving them that really doesn't

01:08:53.720 have any or very little nutritional value because most of it is all uh cooked out of it when it is

01:08:59.720 it's made and preserved and sterilized so it can last two years on a shelf by law it has to do that

01:09:05.560 so rough greens is not a dog food it's a nutritional supplement you sprinkle it on top of whatever food

01:09:38.160 some breaking news uh scientists have now

01:10:04.580 come out with a new report that says the titan submergible the you know the the little submarine

01:10:10.680 they were taking down to the titanic that it imploded uh they say that it was it had design

01:10:17.120 flaws in it what so yeah i know what thank you werner von braun for bringing us up to speed i i didn't realize

01:10:26.180 that that was the problem no kidding oh i would say multiple multiple design problems uh weren't they

01:10:36.280 controlling it by like a playstation controller right i mean that's probably one of the things you know

01:10:41.940 you get into it it's like wait this is a playstation controller i don't think i'm going down under the

01:10:47.320 water i don't think i'm going to we really are trusting people um maybe to our fault we are i said

01:10:53.700 earlier today retardation has gone airborne we are just retarded we have become it's it's becoming a 0.93

01:11:03.520 national epidemic epidemic yes you did say that yes um so the uh

01:11:08.320 yes glenn you did say that um speaking of uh going back to the story we were talking about a second

01:11:19.240 ago with the canadian prime minister um i don't know getting felt up or whatever was happening in

01:11:25.020 that photo at the gay pride parade with a guy in a thong uh i was wondering if do you think

01:11:32.360 canada has had the same sort of no uh reawokening uh if you will that we've had i could tell right 0.59

01:11:40.900 where you're yeah nope nope yet when the when the prime minister is hugging a guy in a butt thong

01:11:48.680 no i don't think they've had the awakening at least at least um to that level you know this might

01:11:58.040 help with the reawakening because people in canada are like oh dear god what did our

01:12:03.120 prime minister just do um i mean this this would help but i don't think i mean you you saw here in

01:12:11.680 america pride parades were way down pride flags way down the pride days parades pride festivals they

01:12:19.400 could not get sponsors this year because it's over it's over and i don't know i shouldn't say it's over

01:12:25.000 yeah it's not over it's it's the the frenzy of it is over yeah i think there's a big we talked about

01:12:33.180 this at the time too and at the time it felt more controversial than maybe it does right now

01:12:37.560 but like there are in my mind sort of like three different categories of companies you've got like

01:12:43.940 real left-wing companies and you got a few real right-wing companies and then you have a bunch of

01:12:48.780 companies that are in the middle they're going to go wherever they think the the tide or the current

01:12:55.600 is going and if in the moment they think the best thing they should do is tweet about pride day 0.84

01:13:01.100 they're going to do that and if the next day it's uh the it's you know red white and blue and uh you

01:13:08.120 know and and pickup trucks and uh you know people having beer in the on the tail in tailgate then that's

01:13:16.020 what they're going to do like that is i think the majority of companies i think the majority of

01:13:21.400 companies are in that category they are looking to sell their product they don't want to be cracked

01:13:26.540 down you know by the government they don't want to be dragged through some crisis in the media and

01:13:32.600 they just want to do their own thing and i think you know now it's easy to kind of say well that kind

01:13:36.840 of seems like where it is i don't think we've seen a massive awakening like i don't know that

01:13:40.460 american eagle is some right-wing company right like they're just no putting their they're putting

01:13:46.300 their finger up in the air and saying oh okay this is the way the wind is blowing exactly there are

01:13:50.460 people who didn't really care in the first place yeah they right just they also didn't care about

01:13:54.860 the stuff yeah yeah they're just shallow and honestly like i know that sounds bad but like i can

01:14:00.800 deal with that from companies what i want them to do is provide a service i don't need to even know

01:14:06.820 what their opinion is about these things i don't care about it at all i'm not going to make my

01:14:11.360 decision based on what american eagle or bud light or patagonia tell me about a particular topic i get

01:14:17.820 i don't know who the people are that care about that um i know why and you've covered it in a couple of

01:14:23.540 your books why that was being done um because it was to it was much more than you know just dei it was

01:14:30.760 esg and and you know crt and all these other different uh things that were piled on top of

01:14:37.420 each other and it was kind of an end round around our normal systems of government right like it really

01:14:43.580 was a way to influence the entire culture by going around the normal ways we do things so i understand

01:14:50.320 why they were trying that but i don't care about it and i don't need that from my companies um you

01:14:55.260 know president trump uh highlighted the you know the sydney sweeney thing uh the other day i think

01:15:00.680 it was yesterday and was saying hey you know he said uh sydney sweeney a registered republican

01:15:05.300 is that has the hottest ad out there i think it's true i i oh that's fantastic it's bizarre like i

01:15:15.700 honestly when i saw it i was like probably not true there's probably somebody else with the same name

01:15:19.920 but it seems like multiple sources have now reported on this and said yes she is a registered

01:15:25.020 republican which is interesting in a couple of ways number one you wouldn't she does not seem like 0.99

01:15:31.180 the type that would be out there like making political statements she does she really doesn't 1.00

01:15:35.780 talk about politics at all she's not doesn't seem like a political person at all the the stuff that

01:15:40.360 she i mean she's she was in the handmaid's tale right like she it's not like she's been like

01:15:44.540 you know only been seen in religious pictures uh euphoria not exactly a conservative vehicle

01:15:51.400 i would say i was gonna say has she been in any religious pictures well yes uh the handmaid's tale

01:15:58.080 uh the handmaid's tale lots of religion in the handmaid's tale um you know she's in the pictures

01:16:04.780 in the moving pictures you know what i mean though i know i know i know you have that sort of like

01:16:09.900 cultural there's those signals that you get from certain people gosh uh he seems to be in all these

01:16:14.980 movies about good fatherhood and and you know sports right like that you have those types of

01:16:21.100 people and you can kind of say there's a good chance that they're conservative you would not

01:16:23.840 get that from sydney sweeney's past i mean that's not what you'd get so that is uh that's interesting

01:16:29.020 and so it's interesting that she would take the time again you're registering you make that choice

01:16:33.160 uh you're saying you can easily just be an independent and you know no one's gonna know and if

01:16:38.560 you're an actress like you'd think you'd you consider that and you're making a decision i know

01:16:43.880 this might be found out i'm going to do it anyway that's that's i think interesting i'll also add is

01:16:48.900 there any reason glenn why that should be public information why on earth should we be able to

01:16:55.540 search a database for an individual's party registration why do we need to know that other 0.95

01:17:01.720 than the fact that these dumb politicians want to text us constantly other than that what is it 0.51

01:17:06.720 what's the purpose of that why what good good does it do for america that i can pull up bob thompson 0.97

01:17:12.940 in des moines uh and find out that he's a des moines iowa and find out that he's a he's a

01:17:18.660 republican or a democrat well what business of that is mine i don't understand that well you said the

01:17:24.300 key word and you've already addressed it you've said the key word business you know it's it's all

01:17:30.560 about calling you getting money and you know it's business that's what that's about that's that's just a

01:17:35.540 terrible so everybody knows who to get business from it has nothing to do it's nobody's business

01:17:41.200 right but nobody's business there are that's why you should register as an independent because i

01:17:46.000 you know i'll vote for whoever has the best ideas uh democrats haven't had a good idea

01:17:53.180 oh for a long time um but you know i mean i would love to have john f kennedy be a republican i mean

01:18:02.100 with the policies that he had back then i would like him to be a republican i'd probably be more apt to

01:18:09.300 vote for him than most of the republicans today because the the republicans they're not that i mean

01:18:16.060 kennedy is a conservative in comparison to a lot of the republicans today it's a bizarre time

01:18:22.760 uh when it comes really bizarre it comes to that but i think you're right i think you're right that

01:18:26.760 the time this this the time of the wokeness is is over the and i can't say it's still going to be

01:18:34.040 there yes um but the the time of the craziness i think is over at least temporarily if if they

01:18:41.560 regain control uh can you imagine how the revenge the revenge that will happen oh yeah terrifying and

01:18:51.380 a lot of these companies that now are maybe seeming more sane will go the other way when when pressure

01:18:57.220 is going that way trump did highlight though in that same uh i guess truth uh that uh it was uh he 0.99

01:19:04.220 highlighted jaguar as well jaguar uh did a stupid and seriously woke advertisement that is a disaster 0.97

01:19:09.760 ceos just resigned companies in turmoil and it is true like thinking of those two moments 0.98

01:19:15.300 had me thinking about how how far we've come in a very short period of time you know i sometimes think

01:19:23.300 about the covet era like that let's say april march 2020 right they just had the 15 days to slow the

01:19:29.980 spread every restaurant in town is closed you can't go out to them you know that period where it felt like

01:19:35.800 your kids are maybe not in school and you're at home and it's weird right like the whole world feels

01:19:42.060 incredibly strange and you look back at that and say gosh i can't believe we actually went through

01:19:47.280 that and that's a normal thing to go through i think when you're thinking back to the covet era

01:19:51.160 we don't do it enough when it comes to like george floyd to 2023 right like that period

01:19:59.200 like the like the world went insane for a couple of years like i someone posted this over the weekend

01:20:07.040 and it went viral and i had totally forgotten about it but it was a tweet from the nhl the national

01:20:12.560 hockey league okay just a tweet from the nhl's main account that said um uh trans men are men trans women

01:20:23.360 are women um and uh some other ridiculous piece of ibram kendy nonsense thrown into a tweet with no 0.98

01:20:34.640 explanation from the national hockey league who i mean until recently like i don't even think they had 0.96

01:20:43.320 a player that wasn't like russian like they're like the least diverse organization in the world 1.00

01:20:49.840 and like you know i i just a bizarre moment like why on earth would they think that is an appropriate

01:20:59.060 thing for a hockey league to be talking about and there was just think this was all over the place

01:21:04.680 at that time just think how uh you know they they say your history is you're on the wrong side of

01:21:11.120 history i think you're beginning to see which side was the wrong side of history yeah yeah i mean

01:21:17.080 jaguar learned it oh yeah yeah because they they they missed the deadline right like the time ran out

01:21:23.200 when all that stuff was normal to just be like super weird and woke and then they were like well

01:21:28.100 what if we design our entire company around that image and a year later the ceo is fired right like

01:21:33.180 that is is is that where it really truly jumped the shark where is the jump the shark moment that's a

01:21:39.680 great question ah that's a great because that's when we all noticed it when jaguar did that we went

01:21:45.900 whoa it felt all of a sudden it was like whoa what are they doing yeah it felt like wait they did

01:21:51.260 they miss a memo like what why is this happening um you're right you know i'm trying to think of what

01:21:56.700 the jump the shark that might be the jump the shark moment like because you know you think about that

01:22:01.800 and if you don't know that reference it's from happy days uh when fonzie jumped the shark and everyone

01:22:07.020 was like that was the end of the series being good was essentially that line right and you know it was

01:22:12.660 over essentially after after that moment i mean i i maybe the jaguar thing is a good representation

01:22:19.120 of that because that would have been last year and it did feel like when that happened it was

01:22:24.800 we noticed it right and i can't that's part of the jump the shark moment it's not just that it's a bad

01:22:30.000 show it was like that was the moment everyone like oh god this this show is actually not even good

01:22:34.080 is it like that was kind of that uh and just like just like everything else it's not that you

01:22:40.420 didn't know that happy days was not going well you know what i mean everybody knew happy days

01:22:47.120 was not going well it wasn't like great and then jump the shark it was now this is really suffering

01:22:53.980 this is bad we should put it out of its misery oof this is getting really tough he's going to take

01:22:59.780 his bike and jump a shark huh it's over it's over just like just like the just like the woke moment

01:23:07.880 i think that might be the jump the shark moment because we felt it coming we all felt it coming

01:23:13.360 we're like this is not going well this is not gonna last much longer this is and then that happened

01:23:19.760 we're all like wow yeah this just stinks up the whole room yeah that feels like a good example i'd love

01:23:26.420 to hear what other people think of as that another one that popped into my mind was the was the the

01:23:31.180 major league baseball canceling the all-star team or the all-star game in in atlanta because of a

01:23:37.460 statewide voting policy that uh that wanted increasing voter turnout now that to me isn't right though it's

01:23:47.040 too early in the process it was you know it wasn't it was that's not the right one um you know you think

01:23:53.220 of all the the people posting things on on uh instagram for black lives matter but again that

01:23:59.120 was on the early side no it's got to be a little later that's that's an interesting question maybe

01:24:03.520 maybe we take phone calls on that tomorrow on tomorrow's show we've got uh some great guests

01:26:05.180 everything you get the timing just right and then all of a sudden something's overcooked on one end and

01:26:10.420 underdone on the other and then you know then it's just not even dinner it's not it's just

01:26:14.040 disappointment

01:26:15.300 chef iq sense changes that this is this thing is awesome technology is great i mean they sure you

01:27:30.160 right now you get 15 off chef iq.com promo code is blaze chef iq.com promo code blaze

01:27:48.000 by the way the cnn is trying to run interference for jaguar it's not it wasn't the woke ad campaign

01:27:53.480 that sunk them it was just the fact that they stopped making cars which i will say is a significant

01:27:59.340 hamper it's it hampers your your sales typically and they were down 97.5 percent which

01:28:06.320 sounds bad you know but if you read cnn you'll realize there's a real reason for it and actually

01:28:14.480 the ceo had a pretty good run uh as the jaguar ceo he just you know sure he ended it with selling

01:28:23.320 almost zero cars um but uh but they're making luckily they're making a transition and there was

01:28:30.800 a successful transition to uh evs i mean successful is you know in the eye of the beholder when you're

01:28:37.100 down 97.5 percent but at least they're not hurting the environment actually even better than electric

01:28:42.180 vehicles for global warming is not making any vehicles or selling any vehicles at all so i see

01:28:47.020 this jaguar thing as a big win

01:28:48.620 this is glenn back all right let me tell you about uh jace medical uh as a society we've gotten too

01:28:59.200 used to the idea that you know help is just a phone call away if something goes wrong you dial a number

01:29:03.680 somebody shows up supply chain breaks pharmacies close hospitals fill up and suddenly you're like wait

01:29:09.640 what do we do well that's where jace medical comes in jace provides emergency use prescriptions for

01:30:49.680 The shadows hide, feel the dark on every side, stand your ground when times get dark, gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

01:31:00.780 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:31:11.420 Well, hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We've got a great hour packed for you today.

01:31:17.620 We're going to spend just a few minutes on the idea of God and the role he has played in the country and is still playing in the country.

01:31:26.220 We have a couple of guests. We have Kirk Cameron coming up in just a second.

01:31:31.320 And next, Tim Scott, who is a Republican out of South Carolina.

01:31:35.100 He just wrote a book called One Nation Always Under God.

01:31:39.800 And he talks about the different stories where God really played a role in our country.

01:31:45.860 And we're going to talk to him about that here in just a second.

01:31:48.060 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Cozy Earth.

01:31:51.240 We spend our whole lives being taught how to work harder, to be more productive, to wake up early, stay late, grind through, never let up.

01:31:57.460 But nobody ever really teaches you how to rest.

01:32:00.960 And yet rest is where everything begins.

01:32:03.620 The healing, the growth, the clarity, the patience, the perspective, all of that.

01:32:07.920 And when you're sleeping well, everything else feels more possible.

01:32:11.900 But when you're not, you know that feeling.

01:32:14.320 This is where Cozy Earth comes in.

01:32:16.560 They just don't sell bedding.

01:32:17.980 They redefine what comfort feels like.

01:32:20.220 Their sheets are made from lightweight, breathable, and ridiculously soft material.

01:32:23.900 They regulate temperature so you're never too hot, never too cold.

01:32:27.880 They're designed to last for decades.

01:32:29.900 I mean, what else do you want?

01:32:31.540 And Cozy Earth just isn't about luxury for the sake of it.

01:32:34.040 It's about building a resting space that actually serves your life.

01:32:37.920 Because when your days are demanding, your nights need to be restoring.

01:32:42.380 You've mastered pushing through.

01:32:44.060 Maybe it's time to master letting go just a little bit.

01:33:00.260 Tim Scott, welcome to the program.

01:33:01.800 How are you?

01:33:03.460 I'm doing really well.

01:33:04.500 I hope you're doing fantastic.

01:33:06.220 I am doing great.

01:33:07.460 I'm doing great.

01:33:08.700 Tell me about One Nation Always Under God. 0.93

01:33:12.220 It is a story.

01:33:13.520 The way I look at it is if we're going to understand our future, we must have a great foundation in our past.

01:33:19.360 And America's foundation was a Judeo-Christian ethos.

01:33:22.960 And through the book, One Nation Always Under God, I speak a lot about these amazing Christians who dedicated their lives to being extraordinary, not because of who they are, but because of whose they are.

01:33:38.860 In God's hands, we can do the most remarkable things.

01:33:42.540 So there's a couple of books out that are, one of them is coming out, yours is out now, One Nation Always Under God, that is explaining this, I think, in the best way possible.

01:33:55.020 Because when a country loses its story, it loses.

01:33:59.280 You can't sustain it anymore.

01:34:02.480 And these are the stories where American Christians stepped up and needed God and moved our nation forward.

01:34:13.760 So let's talk about a couple of the stories.

01:34:16.260 Let's start with William Lloyd Garrison.

01:34:20.260 Who is he?

01:34:21.380 What happened?

01:34:23.140 You know, Glenn, one of the things that got me in trouble back in 2021, as I said the truth, which is that America is not a racist country.

01:34:30.580 And one of the reasons why we're not a racist country is because we've wrestled with race for so long, we've won.

01:34:36.720 And William Lloyd Garrison was an abolitionist who fought tooth and nail against racism and slavery.

01:34:45.220 And because of his fortitude and his faith in God that he was called as an ordinary person to resist the way that the world was at the time, he achieved a victory for other people.

01:34:58.640 You know, Proverbs 31.8 reminds us to stand up for those who can't stand for themselves. 1.00

01:35:05.940 William Lloyd Garrison and millions of Americans have taken that stand.

01:35:10.820 And today we celebrate the achievement of those who went before us.

01:35:15.280 And if we're smart, we'll remember that as we look to our future and celebrate where we are today because of the sacrifices of yesterday.

01:35:25.940 Apollo 13 astronaut Jim Lovell.

01:35:28.640 Yeah, what a great story.

01:35:30.800 Jim Lovell was a man of conviction and strong faith.

01:35:34.260 He was lost in space, 200,000 miles, 200,000 miles away from home, so to speak.

01:35:42.340 Running out of oxygen, he started praying.

01:35:45.580 This peace fell over him.

01:35:47.080 And he understood what he needed to do to save the lives of the astronauts that were with him by conserving oxygen, making some things happen that were nearly impossible.

01:35:57.560 But he was led by his faith and prayer that gave him a peace that allowed him to rely on the expertise he had inside him over years and years as an astronaut.

01:36:08.220 It's a tremendous story of victory, even outside of this world.

01:36:12.700 Dorothea Dix. 0.74

01:36:16.320 Dorothea Dix. 0.74

01:36:16.880 Dorothea Dix is a wonderful story of an amazing Christian who felt called to examine the institutions where those who were suffering from mental health and mental breakdowns were housed.

01:36:31.180 She found their fight to be disgusting and challenging.

01:36:35.000 She felt called by God, an ordinary, everyday woman who did something extraordinary.

01:36:40.740 She changed the way that the insane asylums of her time were housing everyday Americans. 1.00

01:36:47.340 And because of her, we have sanity, we have respect, and dignity in so many of the places that today, those who are suffering mental health challenges are taken care of.

01:37:00.380 Really an amazing story.

01:37:03.380 Go ahead.

01:37:04.280 Go ahead.

01:37:04.580 Finish up.

01:37:05.660 Just really an amazing story of a woman called by God, everyday person, to do something, frankly, groundbreaking around the globe.

01:37:14.120 All started here in America by one woman with a Christian conviction.

01:37:18.780 So we are, let me get off the book here for a second, but focus on this, what she did.

01:37:26.460 We are now, we have a mental health problem on the streets of our country.

01:37:30.080 Yes.

01:37:30.980 It is really bad.

01:37:32.940 And I don't know how to solve it.

01:37:36.160 Tim, there's, you know, the president says, you know, we've got to get these people back into care.

01:37:44.160 And that is absolutely true.

01:37:45.880 But I also remember what the government was like, what those government institutions were like, and what they became.

01:37:53.020 When I was a kid and Reagan stopped them, they were really bad and dangerous.

01:37:58.620 How do we stop this from becoming that again?

01:38:01.440 Well, that's a great question.

01:38:03.820 And one of the reasons why I wrote about Dorothea Dixon, I looked around and saw the flight of everyday Americans today.

01:38:09.880 A hundred thousand people have lost their lives because of fentanyl and drug overdoses.

01:38:16.160 During COVID, we saw a 30% increase in parents bringing their teenage kids to the ER because of mental health episodes.

01:38:25.980 We are, you're a hundred percent right.

01:38:27.420 We are living in a time of great mental instability.

01:38:30.800 The way that we solve this is, frankly, not by having the government take it over.

01:38:36.140 It is, however, by having programs like the one started by John Baker, who focused on Celebrate Recovery and church.

01:38:45.400 I believe the fastest way to solve the problems that we face today is by depending not on the government, but depending on each other.

01:38:55.020 And this program called Celebrate Recovery is in over 40,000 churches around the world.

01:39:02.500 And as a result, we've seen lives restored.

01:39:05.760 We've seen people healed.

01:39:07.260 We've seen families brought back together.

01:39:09.340 The one thing you and I both celebrate is the fact that the government will depend on the government because they don't do things well.

01:39:17.940 And frankly, the actual solutions are closer to home, in your local church, in your local community, in your family.

01:39:25.800 We need the restoration of the family as a bedrock of our society if we're going to solve many of the issues and the ills that we face.

01:39:33.260 That can't happen because of government fiat.

01:39:35.780 It only happens because a person convicted by the Lord turns to God for help.

01:39:42.620 Families restored because fathers and husbands see their rightful place in the family, and they find their common sense and return home to their families.

01:39:52.880 What does it mean, convicted by the Lord?

01:39:56.400 For me, the conviction, I'll talk about my personal experience.

01:39:59.660 As a kid growing up in poverty, I was lost as a goose in a rainstorm for much of my childhood.

01:40:05.320 I nearly fed out of school because I didn't see a way forward.

01:40:10.080 But Glenn, I'll tell you, I felt this growing need for something, and I had some really good Christian friends who taught me, by example more than words, that what I was looking for was a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

01:40:24.420 I felt this conviction, and I want to look at that compared to me speaking to condemnation.

01:40:30.120 So often people that condemn you are looking out for your best interests, but you do need to have this conviction in your own heart that there is a better way.

01:40:39.720 And that conviction for me led me to examine Christianity, and I came to the staving conclusion my life is better off in his hands. 0.98

01:40:48.660 And so when I talk about that conviction, I'm really talking about this understanding that something must change, and it must start in me, not somewhere else.

01:40:58.100 You know, it is, to me, it is the definition of evil.

01:41:02.740 What we're seeing happen in our country where people are telling you, you know, everything's stacked against you, you'll never make it, you've got to vote for this, or, you know, your life is wasted.

01:41:12.360 And it is so evil to convince people that they don't have everything in them to make it, because they do.

01:41:21.420 Absolutely, Glenn, this is one of the most important foundations of our country.

01:41:27.560 We were given our inalienable rights, not by government, not from government, but by God.

01:41:32.760 And if that's the case, then we should never see ourselves as victims, but we should see ourselves as victors,

01:41:39.900 because all things are possible in a country whose foundation is the Lord's.

01:41:45.820 We haven't gotten it right.

01:41:47.000 I'm not suggesting that we have, but I am suggesting that the closer we get to that more perfect union,

01:41:52.680 the more likely we are in consistent harmony with the principles that undergird the society that come from the gospel.

01:42:02.020 You know, we never have gotten it right.

01:42:04.900 And, you know, anybody who says America's a failure never gotten it right, never lived up to its principles.

01:42:11.140 Have you read those principles?

01:42:12.620 I mean, those principles that all men are created equal, you know, and endowed by their creator, life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness,

01:42:20.960 those principles are really, really, really super high.

01:42:29.780 Absolutely.

01:42:31.600 And I can't think of a grander mission statement than what our declaration lays out.

01:42:36.940 And we don't cut ourselves any slack as human beings and say, look, we're going to mess it up,

01:42:44.620 but you've got to get back up and reapply yourself to the mission again.

01:42:50.780 Well, you should keep preaching that, because that's exactly what the book of Proverbs reminds us,

01:42:55.320 that a man falls seven times, but a good man gets up the seventh time that he falls.

01:43:00.000 It's the same thing that we hear from Jesus in the book of Matthew, that how many times should I be forgiven?

01:43:05.100 Seven times is no, 70 times seven.

01:43:07.920 It's exactly the same thing that we see in the midst of great challenges,

01:43:11.740 and frankly, even in my home state of South Carolina at the Mother Emanuel Church shooting.

01:43:16.840 The believers of that church said to the killer, they said, Matthew 544,

01:43:23.340 you've got to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

01:43:27.420 They said, I forgive you.

01:43:29.100 Where does that come from?

01:43:30.360 It comes from the recognition that we are all flawed humans, and as flawed humans,

01:43:35.960 the most powerful thing that we can do is to give it to the Lord.

01:43:40.180 When we do that, we see this life come out of us and form around us.

01:43:45.760 That is what makes America in pursuit of this thing called perfection.

01:43:51.000 We will always, always fall short.

01:43:54.000 But ultimately, are you going to strive for mediocrity?

01:43:58.700 Are you going to strive for average?

01:44:00.560 Or do you want to get as close as possible to this notion that we are perfectible?

01:44:07.040 Well, we're only perfectible on the other side.

01:44:10.140 But until then, let us strive in the direction of perfection because we believe in absolute truth.

01:44:17.540 We'll miss the mark, but I'm going to continue to fight tooth and nail to be all that I can be until I am entered into heaven through the glory of God.

01:44:29.080 I want to ask you something because we're talking about conviction, and you've been talking about religious conviction.

01:44:34.020 But let me ask you about conviction to our own country.

01:44:37.340 We had Congresswoman Ramirez.

01:44:40.920 She was at a summit in Mexico City over the weekend.

01:44:44.460 She's speaking in Spanish, and she says, I'm a proud Guatemalan before I'm an American.

01:44:50.380 We've had Ilan Omar say that she feels like she serves Somalia more than the United States.

01:44:58.880 Can you be an official of the United States and hold up the Constitution if you are not convicted that America is where your heart is, that that's what comes first?

01:45:19.600 You could say God comes first, and I get that.

01:45:22.220 That's first citizenship.

01:45:23.220 But if your first citizenship is in Somalia or Guatemala, how are you in the government of the United States?

01:45:32.280 Should that be?

01:45:33.200 Well, Glenn, let's just be clear for all the listeners.

01:45:37.120 Anyone who has taken the oath of office, who says that their allegiance is to another country, they have betrayed their oath of office, and they should resign.

01:45:47.440 Period.

01:45:48.060 Let me go a little further.

01:45:49.200 Any American citizen who says that they are more beholden or more connected to their homeland that's not America, they, too, are as lost as a goose in a rainstorm.

01:46:02.180 The fact of the matter is to be an American requires, in my heart and my deepest understanding, you have to assimilate, acclimate to what it means to be an American.

01:46:12.620 You cannot hold an allegiance to someplace else while saying that, you know, I'm here because it's the greatest country on the planet, but I'm going to celebrate home.

01:46:22.100 The fact that you are here suggests that the most compassionate country on the planet has allowed you in, at least in response to our compassion and our love.

01:46:34.620 At least assimilate to what it means to be an American, and then go a step further.

01:46:40.040 Encourage everyone in your community to do the same.

01:46:43.900 It is not okay to get here and be, you know, to say that Somalia is where you're going to celebrate your real affection or that you're somewhere in Mexico.

01:46:53.980 That game has been played, and they all lose.

01:46:58.520 We, the United States of America, an incredible melting pot of people, but we have one single culture, and it is defined at our inception.

01:47:11.420 It is the unique place on the planet where we celebrate diversity, but not multiculturalism. 0.98

01:47:18.260 I think they're very different.

01:47:20.280 We have multiple cultures in our country, but unless they align under the banner, we can't survive. 0.57

01:47:28.560 You have to be committed.

01:47:30.360 And one of the things you'll read in One Nation Always Under God, available right now at Amazon.com or where books are sold,

01:47:38.220 the one thing you'll figure out pretty quickly is we celebrate America.

01:47:43.200 We don't celebrate any other country for one reason.

01:47:46.540 We are the city on the hill.

01:47:49.320 We are the greatest place on the planet to call home, and I believe we have an obligation, a responsibility to celebrate all the founding fathers who went before us

01:48:02.500 and the ordinary people who stood up for this American ethos embedded in the gospel so as to move us towards being a more perfect union.

01:48:15.720 It is a prerequisite for public service that you stay with all of your heart.

01:48:23.200 We are one nation under God and indivisible, period.

01:48:31.500 Senator Tim Scott, always great to talk to you, sir.

01:48:34.500 Best of luck with the book.

01:48:35.600 It's One Nation Always Under God. 0.90

01:48:38.060 It is available now.

01:48:39.180 One Nation Always Under God. 0.99

01:48:40.960 It's great to have – this is a reminder for your family, a reminder for yourself on who we really are and how God is just – is woven into our DNA.

01:48:52.840 Tim, thank you so much, Senator.

01:48:54.100 I appreciate it.

01:48:55.020 All right.

01:48:55.300 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:48:58.340 Our sponsor is the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

01:49:01.180 Every time things get darker for Israel, there's a group who always shows up carrying the light.

01:49:06.400 The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been there for decades, stepping in to provide food, medicine, security, and hope to Israel's most vulnerable people,

01:49:15.420 not just in moments of war or in crisis, but day after day, quietly doing the work.

01:49:20.820 I've seen it firsthand how deeply this organization cares.

01:49:23.660 They serve the Holocaust survivors living in poverty.

01:49:26.640 They feed families who have lost everything to rocket attacks.

01:49:29.520 They help Jewish immigrants return to Israel and start over with dignity.

01:49:33.780 And here's what I love most.

01:49:34.960 It isn't just charity.

01:49:36.900 It's a bridge.

01:49:38.340 It's a way for Christians and Jews to stand together shoulder to shoulder in solidarity and compassion in a time when division feels like default.

01:49:47.300 So if you've ever felt called to do something, to really help Israel, to bless the Jewish people, to be a part of something bigger than yourself, this is your opportunity.

01:49:56.420 God commands us to comfort his people.

01:49:58.980 The fellowship is one of the best ways I know how to do exactly that.

01:50:02.440 To learn more, just help by visiting ifcj.org.

01:50:07.880 Ifcj.org.

01:50:08.920 Go there now.

01:50:09.540 The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

01:50:11.920 Ifcj.org.

01:50:13.140 Ten seconds.

01:50:13.800 Station ID.

01:50:14.340 So just, what is it, next week, I think, Kirk Cameron is going to be, you know, taking his cultural movement to the libraries again, your local libraries.

01:50:37.080 Uh, and, uh, what he's been doing is been, he has been, uh, sending people out, celebrities, et cetera, et cetera, to read, uh, good, wholesome Christian books, uh, in the libraries, uh, and tried to take those libraries back from the radical left.

01:50:55.580 I mean, remember, it was, you know, trans story hour at the libraries, just, I mean, this is going to be remembered as a moment of insanity and now a moment of healing.

01:51:05.700 Um, but he's going to be, uh, with us here in just a second.

01:51:08.680 Also, Missy Robertson, uh, married to Jace Robertson of the Duck Dynasty clan, going to be reading at the Library of Congress on August 16th with, uh, Kirk Cameron.

01:51:17.800 And he's going to be joining us here in, uh, just a minute.

01:51:21.280 So stand by Kirk Cameron on the Glenn Beck program.

01:51:24.460 More in just a minute.

01:51:42.580 This is Glenn Beck.

01:51:45.280 We are at a point in history where telling the truth feels like a revolutionary act.

01:51:51.700 Everything right now is upside down.

01:51:53.400 Good is evil.

01:51:54.320 Evil is called good.

01:51:55.440 And anyone who tries to speak plainly gets shouted down or silenced.

01:52:00.020 Schools don't teach history anymore.

01:52:01.780 They teach shame.

01:52:02.800 Kids are graduating with heads full of ideology and no understanding of the values that actually built this country or can help them in life.

01:52:10.240 And this is why PragerU exists.

01:52:12.520 And this is why I'm so proud to partner with PragerU.

01:52:16.380 PragerU is a wake-up call with videos that tell the truth about America, about faith, about freedom, and courses, and documentaries, and kid shows that actually teach those values, not activism.

01:52:28.720 It's a whole library of knowledge designed to counter the lies your kids are hearing everywhere else.

01:52:34.620 So if you want to make an impact on the next generation, this month is the best time to support PragerU.

01:52:40.500 Every single dollar you give will be matched in August.

01:52:44.560 My foundation, Mercury One, has already donated.

01:52:47.440 I have donated.

01:53:08.300 It's at GlennBeck.com.

01:53:25.000 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:53:45.460 Glenn, we were talking earlier about jumping the shark.

01:53:48.720 And when, uh, this, uh, this crazy woke movement jumped the shark, uh, and I thought it, it might

01:53:58.260 have been the Jaguar commercial.

01:53:59.960 That's that, but it, it also could have been, uh, maybe the Bud Light commercial.

01:54:05.740 That's probably a better, better example still.

01:54:08.340 Yeah.

01:54:08.820 I mean, that, that, that's the most obvious one, right?

01:54:11.200 The, the Dylan, uh, Mulvaney, Mulvaney, Bud Light moment, if you will.

01:54:17.860 Yeah.

01:54:18.060 Uh, that one probably has to be up there.

01:54:21.000 Another one is, um, someone suggests, uh, when, uh, when Disney had a lesbian black space

01:54:28.260 witch in Star Wars, and then Disney blamed, uh, the Star Wars fans for being toxic, says 0.92

01:54:36.500 Rich.

01:54:36.880 That's, that's one that might work as well.

01:54:39.720 Uh, there's a lot of examples though.

01:54:41.800 There's a lot of nominees for this one.

01:54:43.280 You know, it was four years ago.

01:54:46.420 Only, I mean, think of this.

01:54:47.560 Kirk Cameron was on this program with me, I think four years ago, and he had put a book

01:54:54.120 out and he was banned from reading it in the library, uh, all across the country.

01:55:00.140 And that kicked off a movement back then, but it was wildly different times.

01:55:06.100 Just a few, three, four years ago.

01:55:08.120 Kirk is joining us now.

01:55:09.380 Hi, Kirk.

01:55:09.780 How are you?

01:55:11.380 Good morning, guys.

01:55:12.360 I'm doing great.

01:55:13.460 Great.

01:55:13.960 Thank you for having me on the show.

01:55:15.740 How long ago was it?

01:55:17.540 Tell the, tell the story where, where woke really just came down your throat.

01:55:21.860 Oh, well, yeah, that's, that's just, that, that, that's some disturbing imagery, uh, right

01:55:29.100 there, but you know, you're talking about the black lesbian space, which, um, I'm, I'm remembering

01:55:34.860 Buzz Lightyear and I'm remembering, uh, Bud Light commercial, just like you said.

01:55:39.380 But for me on a personal level, it was, it was four years ago when I went to public libraries

01:55:44.580 and was outright locked out of them, just straight up denied by over 50 woke libraries that wouldn't

01:55:52.040 let me read my wholesome children's book about faith, hope, and love to the communities that

01:55:57.940 wanted to hear it.

01:55:59.460 And when I told, uh, you and a few other friends who helped to spread the word, uh, I put them

01:56:05.260 on blast, uh, reminded them that's America.

01:56:07.460 Uh, this is unconstitutional.

01:56:09.300 This is viewpoint discrimination of the worst kind, religious discrimination. 0.63

01:56:13.440 And, um, they quickly reversed their judgment, gave me an invitation.

01:56:17.980 And when I showed up, there were thousands of parents and grandparents who were there to

01:56:21.180 support a movement of getting back to the values in education that lead to our kids blessing

01:56:25.840 and their protection.

01:56:27.520 So, uh, that, that was three years ago movement.

01:56:31.360 That was three to four years ago.

01:56:33.440 Yeah.

01:56:33.800 Right around Christmas time.

01:56:34.800 Look at how fast things have changed.

01:56:38.640 And now, now this year, you're going to be at the library of Congress.

01:56:44.360 That's nuts.

01:56:46.440 Isn't that great?

01:56:47.600 I love it.

01:56:48.640 This is the perfect plot twist in a great movie.

01:56:51.720 Just when you think all hope is lost, when you're up against the worst kind of odds, we feel like

01:56:57.880 we're on a freight train headed for a leftist brick wall.

01:57:02.080 Uh, all of a sudden the, the, the political winds change and opportunities open up.

01:57:06.980 So we went from being locked out of libraries to now partnering with the Trump administration

01:57:11.520 to lead story hour at the library of Congress.

01:57:14.480 And I think the key is it's you've got to genuinely have pure hearted motives behind what you do.

01:57:22.960 If you want heaven's help, you've got to have a clear conscience and a faith that doesn't

01:57:28.200 flinch.

01:57:28.740 And essentially what we need to say to those who are destroyers of our children's liberty

01:57:35.060 is that, um, we're not begging for a seat at the cultural table.

01:57:41.220 We're building a new one.

01:57:42.980 And now the Trump administration is pulling up a chair and we are about to change the cultural

01:57:49.860 narrative because you don't let faith and freedom falter.

01:57:54.600 Uh, you don't retreat when that happens, you rally.

01:57:57.680 And that's what parents are doing.

01:58:01.840 Are you concerned at all, um, about Trump losing to a Democrat for some reason, the economy

01:58:09.860 goes sideways or something and the vengeance that the left will come back with.

01:58:14.920 Hmm.

01:58:15.980 Yeah.

01:58:16.400 I'm sure they're chomping at the bit.

01:58:18.080 I mean, they just, they're, they're, they're, they're salivating at the opportunity, but,

01:58:21.600 but that has been the case for, uh, 10 years to just destroy the man and the administration.

01:58:28.180 And I don't know about you, Glenn.

01:58:29.880 I, I think you, you would agree with me.

01:58:31.780 I think that the divine hand of Providence has been behind this guy.

01:58:35.240 I don't know how else to explain it.

01:58:36.680 I mean, I'm, I'm not saying he's the epitome and moral paragon of, uh, everything that,

01:58:42.080 you know, we want our daughters to, to, to marry as a, he certainly, neither was David,

01:58:47.820 neither was King David, neither was Moses, neither was anyone in the Bible except for

01:58:52.300 Jesus.

01:58:53.640 Yeah.

01:58:54.160 And, and certainly, you know, I mean, do we want to say that Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden,

01:58:58.860 Obama, and Kamala, uh, were, were of higher, higher moral character or anyone else behind

01:59:04.620 the curtain for that matter.

01:59:05.640 I know of only a couple of people that I would say I think are really morally upstanding

01:59:09.380 people, uh, at that, those levels of power and influence.

01:59:13.380 Yeah.

01:59:13.620 But what I do know is more has been done for pro-life more has been done for families,

01:59:17.920 more has been done for opportunity and education and freedom.

01:59:20.500 And I'm so thankful to be on this train right now.

01:59:23.220 Um, so how is, uh, how is, uh, Iggy and Mr. Kirk doing?

01:59:30.040 It's doing so good.

01:59:31.880 You know, Iggy, my little five-year-old puppet iguana that I'm raising in my backyard tree

01:59:36.620 house, he's getting a little bit of a big head.

01:59:38.860 You know, he wants his name at the, at the, at the front of the title of the show.

01:59:42.140 It's Iggy and Mr. Kirk.

01:59:43.540 It couldn't be the other way around.

01:59:44.940 He's got a tough agent, but kids love him.

01:59:47.540 Uh, and that's on the brave, uh, brave plus, right?

01:59:53.520 Yeah.

01:59:53.880 It's streaming on brave plus, but it's also streaming on the angel network, which we're

01:59:58.120 really, um, grateful for right next to the chosen and it's streaming on pure flicks as

02:00:03.200 well.

02:00:03.520 Um, my sister, Candace Cameron is a big part of the great American family channel and it's

02:00:09.740 streaming there as well.

02:00:10.680 So people can watch it in all three places.

02:00:13.840 She's very concerned about, um, AI.

02:00:17.540 And she, my sister, my sister.

02:00:21.040 Yeah.

02:00:22.400 Yeah.

02:00:23.300 Yeah.

02:00:23.880 Yeah.

02:00:24.440 Yeah.

02:00:24.820 I, I, I, I get it.

02:00:26.380 I get it.

02:00:27.900 Yeah.

02:00:28.400 It's, uh, it's, uh, it's concerning.

02:00:31.220 It's very concerning.

02:00:33.320 Um, yeah.

02:00:34.160 So, uh, go ahead.

02:00:37.120 Well, I was just going to say, you know, it's, it's like so many other powerful pieces of

02:00:41.640 technology, you know, there's so much to love about it and there's so much to be terrified

02:00:47.040 about it.

02:00:47.600 And when Elon Musk says that he thinks it's a larger existential threat than nuclear warfare,

02:00:52.400 uh, you know, we gotta, we gotta take that serious.

02:00:55.820 Yeah.

02:00:56.560 Yeah.

02:00:57.020 Yeah.

02:00:57.980 Um, there was, um, uh, what was his name?

02:01:01.280 Stu from CNN.

02:01:02.360 I forget. 1.00

02:01:03.040 A total loser. 1.00

02:01:04.680 Yeah. 0.99

02:01:05.200 That's going to narrow it down more than that.

02:01:07.220 But Jim Acosta.

02:01:08.540 Yeah.

02:01:08.900 Jim Acosta.

02:01:09.480 Did you see Jim Acosta?

02:01:11.600 He just did a, uh, uh, an interview with one of the kids that died at Parkland, uh, through

02:01:18.640 AI.

02:01:19.060 And I saw that today and I thought of you immediately being on the show because I thought

02:01:23.260 this is making graven images.

02:01:25.960 This, this seems just so unbelievably wrong when you don't have, you know, it's soulless.

02:01:35.000 It's a literal digital puppet of whatever the parents are thinking.

02:01:40.140 It's not him.

02:01:41.920 Uh, it just seemed to cross a really dangerous line.

02:01:47.420 Yeah.

02:01:48.360 Yeah.

02:01:48.980 It does.

02:01:49.880 Right.

02:01:50.020 I mean, I think that's always our dilemma is, um, can we keep up morally with the things

02:01:58.540 we create technologically?

02:02:00.320 I mean, this is the stuff that makes for great movies.

02:02:03.000 It's when the mad scientist creates the thing and then it falls into the wrong hands.

02:02:07.940 Uh, and we're there.

02:02:09.020 I just did a, uh, an episode on, on my podcast where we talked about AI relationships and people

02:02:15.740 straight up have AI girlfriends, boyfriends, and virtual soulmates, and they're getting

02:02:20.720 married to them, at least in their hearts and ceremonially.

02:02:24.100 And they're in tears saying, I've never been so in love.

02:02:26.760 And you think, is this the future of relationships?

02:02:29.920 Uh, or is this just a dismantling of human beings and the beginning of transhumanism? 0.82

02:02:37.400 What, what, what will our sons and daughters marry in the future? 0.73

02:02:40.860 Oh, it's the end of it.

02:02:42.480 Obviously it's the end of humanity, end of humans.

02:02:45.500 If you're, if we all pair off with an artificial being, you know, we're not going to be making

02:02:50.980 a lot of other kids.

02:02:53.040 Uh, and, and, and, and, and, and, and it's a truly frightening world where, you know, you

02:02:59.860 don't have to deal with any messy downsides of a relationship at all.

02:03:04.720 You don't, you don't have to come home when you've had a really bad day and have the AI

02:03:09.180 say, Hey, you know, you haven't even asked me about my day yet.

02:03:13.000 I mean, that that's part of being alive, you know?

02:03:17.920 Yeah.

02:03:18.400 Yeah, I know.

02:03:19.420 I, I've, I've found nothing in my life to be more, uh, sanctifying or a character building,

02:03:25.900 uh, than being married because that's the, that's the ultimate school where I learn how

02:03:31.440 to be like Jesus and die to myself and, and, and lay down, uh, my preferences and, and serve

02:03:38.280 somebody else.

02:03:39.080 That's, that's really hard for human beings to do.

02:03:41.460 So, but with AI, um, you know, look, if you've ever wanted to program your husband so that

02:03:46.420 he has the perfect responses to you, now you can, uh, you're going to be with Missy

02:03:53.560 Robinson, uh, what is it?

02:03:55.320 August 16th, right?

02:03:56.440 That's next week.

02:03:58.340 That's right.

02:03:59.300 Yeah.

02:03:59.820 Uh, Missy and, and Jace Robertson from duck dynasty are going to be with me at the library

02:04:05.440 of Congress for see you at the library.

02:04:07.700 And this is the big event that we have been done doing the last couple of years.

02:04:11.800 It's the culmination of all these story hours and book readings, and it's going to be in

02:04:16.480 hundreds and hundreds of libraries across the U S led by parents and grandparents, singing,

02:04:22.180 praying, reading books of virtue and character and patriotism.

02:04:25.660 And I will be at kind of the mothership, which is the library of Congress with Missy and Jace

02:04:31.000 and the department of education center for faith in partnership with the Trump administration.

02:04:36.240 It's going to be awesome.

02:04:37.700 It is going to be awesome.

02:04:39.060 He's gone from in four years, gone from being kicked out of 50 different libraries to now

02:04:43.780 having over 500 libraries, uh, participating in this, including the library of Congress.

02:04:49.380 Kirk, always good to talk to you, my friend.

02:04:50.980 Thank you so much.

02:04:52.680 I'm so thankful for you.

02:04:54.120 God bless you guys.

02:04:55.260 You bet.

02:04:56.060 Uh, you can find out more by going to see you at the library.com.

02:05:00.020 See you at the library.com.

02:05:02.780 All right.

02:05:03.280 Let me tell you about relief factor.

02:05:04.600 Some people talk about getting their life back.

02:05:06.460 Like it's a cliche, but if you've lived with pain, real daily, unrelenting pain, you know,

02:05:11.120 it's not just a phrase.

02:05:12.080 It's a goal.

02:05:12.720 It's a milestone.

02:05:13.620 Sometimes a desperate prayer.

02:05:15.680 Um, you start making trade-offs without even realizing it.

02:05:18.560 Maybe you stay home instead of going out.

02:05:20.100 Maybe you pass on a family trip because you're not sure you can handle the walking.

02:05:23.960 Maybe you just start shrinking the size of your daily plans a little bit at a time.

02:05:29.400 But what if there was a way to push back just a little bit relief factor?

02:05:32.940 It's not magic.

02:05:33.760 It's science backed by doctors designed to target the underlying inflammation that causes

02:05:38.780 so much of our pain.

02:05:40.180 It is a daily supplement that helps your body do what it was made to do.

02:05:43.500 Heal, move and live. 0.99

02:05:45.220 And no, it won't happen overnight, but with consistency, patience and a little hope, relief

02:05:50.580 factor could be a step forward, a big step forward in taking back more than just your

02:05:54.680 mobility.

02:05:55.100 It could allow you to take back you.

02:05:58.700 So give their three week quick start a try for only $19.95.

02:06:15.220 You want the truth unfiltered?

02:06:17.880 Pull up a chair, my friend.

02:06:20.220 You're in the right place.

02:06:22.680 This is Glenn Beck.

02:06:45.220 It is Glenn Beck program.

02:06:56.120 Alex Stein, our own Blaze TV's Alex Stein, appeared on MSNBC last night, though not in the typical

02:07:04.880 interview fashion that you might expect.

02:07:07.900 Here's a bit of his appearance on MSNBC.

02:07:10.560 We just watched the speaker gavel out with a whole lot of anger, Kelly.

02:07:15.520 Here's the state of play.

02:07:17.100 Here's the state of play. 1.00

02:07:17.900 MSNBC sucks. 0.99

02:07:18.360 Hey, how are you? 1.00

02:07:20.120 MSNBC sucks. 1.00

02:07:21.160 Talk to you for a second. 1.00

02:07:22.080 MSNBC sucks. 1.00

02:07:22.960 You can see. 1.00

02:07:23.760 You can see the frustration.

02:07:25.040 Sometimes this happens, and we understand that that can happen.

02:07:28.660 And while we love free speech, we're going to keep control here.

02:07:31.440 Oh, yeah, of course.

02:07:32.720 Yeah, I do want to give full free speech, obviously.

02:07:35.960 Now, of course, they have the right to cut away from that particular moment. 0.96

02:07:41.200 But that's Alex Stein from Blaze TV just saying MSNBC sucks over and over again.

02:07:46.120 What we don't have is they went back to the conversation.

02:07:49.460 It went on for a couple of minutes.

02:07:51.560 And then they went back to the same guy. 0.99

02:07:54.520 And once again, Alex just walks in the background and just starts screaming MSNBC sucks again.

02:08:01.180 And some people will have a problem with the way Alex is acting there. 0.99

02:08:07.000 But I don't think you can disagree with the point, which is MSNBC sucks.

02:08:12.280 It's really hard to disagree with the foundational intellectual argument that he's making there.

02:08:19.920 And I think that is true.

02:08:20.920 Here is we have a clip about Donald Trump and the administration talking about banning soda and candy sales in certain circumstances.

02:08:31.300 Listen, since my confirmation, our department has encouraged states to think differently and creatively about how to solve the many health issues facing Americans.

02:08:41.080 One way is by not allowing taxpayer-funded benefits to be used to purchase unhealthy items like soda, candy, and other junk food.

02:08:51.440 The number one purchase by SNAP recipients is sugary drinks.

02:08:56.140 SNAP is a supplemental nutrition program meant to provide health food benefits to low-income families to supplement their grocery budget

02:09:04.720 so they can afford the nutritious food essential to health and well-being.

02:09:09.260 That is the stated purpose of the SNAP program.

02:09:12.080 So today, I'm proud to sign six more waivers for Florida, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, and Colorado.

02:09:22.240 This is in addition to the waivers we've already signed for Iowa, Indiana, and others across the country.

02:09:29.300 I continue to encourage states to be laboratories of innovation.

02:09:32.720 Think through how you can promote healthy families and healthy communities.

02:09:36.620 Now, I am not healthy at all.

02:09:39.620 In fact, I love sugary drinks, and I love candy cakes and all the delicious treats.

02:09:47.200 My house is basically like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory at this point.

02:09:51.040 I got just every run, every corner.

02:09:52.860 I'm starting to make furniture out of chocolate again.

02:09:56.440 And look, I'm fine with all of that.

02:09:58.220 It is a supplemental nutrition program, though.

02:10:04.420 This is supposed to help people who don't have enough money for food get the food that they need to survive.

02:10:12.120 It's not supposed to be Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

02:10:16.720 You know, if you're going to be on one of these programs, it's not the job of the program to make you have every desire that you imagine.

02:10:25.100 It's supposed to be just the basics.

02:10:28.020 You know, go back and read Ben Franklin's quote about doing good for the poor.

02:10:32.480 How do you do that?

02:10:33.240 The more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provide for themselves and, of course, become poorer.

02:10:39.200 And on the contrary, the less that is done for them, the more they did for themselves and they became richer.

02:10:44.340 It shouldn't be a situation where we are subsidizing every delicious item on the shelves.

02:10:50.560 It's supposed to be basic nutrition.

02:10:52.860 And you want to make it healthy?

02:10:54.220 Make it healthy.

02:10:56.500 This is Glenn Beck.

02:11:03.240 This is Glenn Beck.
