Starting point is 00:00:00 First, let me tell you about rough greens. My dog, Uno, we love. And first we married him off to, and I mean this literally and figuratively, a bitch. And he was really unhappy and really unhappy. It was an arranged marriage. It was an arranged, a forced marriage. And, ooh, it was not pretty. Anyway, now that she's dead, he's happy.
Starting point is 00:00:26 But then we started feeding him rough greens. and he has changed as a dog. I mean, literally changed. I sat down yesterday on the couch, and he just would not stop bringing his ball, and he's so frisky and fun. And it's because of rough greens. Has probiotics in it,
Starting point is 00:00:42 all the things that your wife feels at you about, you know, make sure, you're going to have to it. It's all that in the dog bowl. It's not a dog food. You just put it on top. It's an additive. Try it for two weeks.
Starting point is 00:00:54 Make sure your dog will eat it. Then get your rough greens and give it to them. And I'm telling you month after month, you will see huge differences. It's RUFF Greens, RUFF Greens or Rough Greens.com. Is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. We may have passed the point of no return when it comes to big tech, Google, Facebook, Twitter. Yesterday there was a hearing.
Starting point is 00:01:55 and senators from both parties confronted the CEOs of Twitter, Facebook, and Google. We have a recap on that, and why so many people are, in my opinion, just flat out wrong on it. We'll go there in 60 seconds. This is the Glenn Beck program. Such an important question that we're facing. I mean, everything that we're facing right now is beginning of freedom or end of freedom. More in just a second. If, you know, if you take ibuprofen, I guess there are, you know, certain things that it helps.
Starting point is 00:02:34 It's never helped. Is ibuprofen ever helped you? Have you ever taken ibuprofen and they're like, oh, I'm going to give you the 800 ibupro? Well, you're talking about 800. That's the big stuff. That's the big stuff. That's like, no, no, I can't get addicted to that stuff. I've been mainline.
Starting point is 00:02:49 I've been shooting ibuprofen 800 into my veins in my eyes now for a while because I fall my veins of collins. ibuprofen 800. Anyway, I am not a big believer in, you know, things like ibuprofen that reduce your inflammation. That's why one of the reasons why I didn't take relief factor for a long time. And I ran out of excuses and I ran out of options. Finally, my wife said, I'm not going to listen to your wine anymore. Every day and just try everything. So I tried it, begrudgingly.
Starting point is 00:03:22 And I went into it with a bad attitude. It's not going to work. I took it for three weeks. I didn't tell her that I was actually feeling some effects. And because I had dismissed it, I'm like, it's not the ibuprofen. This stuff just reduces inflammation. It's not that. And then I stopped taking it.
Starting point is 00:03:40 And I had to go to my wife and say, I think I should probably order some more relief factor. And I've been taking it now three times a day for almost three years. And it is, it's changed my life. Go to relieffactor.com or call 800, 5883. 384, 800, 500, 8384, it's relieffactor.com. All right. So senators from both parties confronted the CEOs of Twitter and Facebook and Google at the Section 230 big tech hearing.
Starting point is 00:04:12 I don't think anything was, do you think anything was accomplished still? No, no, not really. They're trying. Everybody involved was excessively prepared except for Jack Dorsey. I think he spent more time making sure that his nose ring. look good on nose, grow up. You don't have a nose ring? No, I don't.
Starting point is 00:04:33 And his foo man chew beard, stop it. Just stop it. So that morning, I mean, he found himself in the hot seat because that morning on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, page A1 was a story about how a feckless Dorsey was essentially ambushed by his own company when with little explanation, the platform he leads just began blocking its millions of users from sharing links to a pair of New York Post stories about Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden. Within hours, lawmakers said they would subpoena Mr. Dorsey to explain his decision, but it wasn't his decision. His company did it without him even knowing.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Maybe. I mean, maybe he was getting his nose pierced that day. So he was fighting off embarrassment just a few days ago. He rightfully criticized. his own company for their poor response to the Hunter Biden story, but he was trying to have it both ways. Now, Democrats bemoan the fact that the hearing was being held less than a week before the election as if they were actually doing any campaigning or anything else. They kept up their usual gaslighting, accusing conservatives of being unstoppable conspiracy theorists. Really? Really? You know, it's weird. Last night, we put something up on YouTube, and it outperformed on YouTube live.
Starting point is 00:05:59 As we're doing it, it outperformed all of our other videos that we've posted on YouTube. And then suddenly, like all the views stopped. It's just like it's just all the people that wanted to watch it watched it live. They were all set. They were all. Did not. No one else needed to tune in. Not another soul that people were sharing it.
Starting point is 00:06:19 And everybody said, nope, I don't want to watch that. That's a well-targeted video right there. You got everybody, 100% of the audience. It's weird. Mike Lee, who's joined. Joining us in about an hour was a bulldog. Ted Cruz, I think, was like Zorro jumping off his horse, carving a Z, just underneath the nose ring. Senator Marsha Blackburn, fresh off the Amy Coney-Barrid hearings, even fresher than she was last week.
Starting point is 00:06:45 But here's what it was really about. The figurative public execution didn't happen because everybody was too well prepared. It was less of a Senate hearing and more of a peek into like, I don't know, New York City. Everything was boarded up, you know, and ultimately you're walking around going, okay, what happened here? Where do we go next? You know, it used to be something that liberals were concerned about. these giant corporations just taking over. Now it seems like you're a conspiracy theory if you believe everything the left ever said prior to like 1999.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Now they're no problem. Do you remember the flags with the corporations on the flag? And they're like, it's the United Corporations of America. Remember that? There are only three stars on that flag now. Google, Twitter, Facebook. They control so much of America. The hearing focus mainly on Dorsey and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Mark Zuckerberg always comes off the way he's come off to me in person. It's like, I really want to help. I really don't. I just, this is wrong. Isn't it, Senator? Man, can you just tell me what to do? I think Mark Zuckerberg is playing a longer game of Jack Dorsey being the jerk. Mark Zuckerberg is going to be the good guy.
Starting point is 00:08:32 That way, he has a seat at the table to try to design, you know, some common sense regulations. That's what's really going on here. Going into the 2020 election, social media CEOs have been worried about a hack and leak data dump of hacked material that goes viral on their platforms, like Goosephor 2.0 in 2016. Those were the Democratic National Committee numbers and emails. Facebook and Twitter, nervous about an October surprise, a last-minute dump of leaked documents that had the potential to sway the election. Well, we got that, except they're not leaked documents.
Starting point is 00:09:12 We have all kinds of documents. In fact, we have all kinds of witnesses that have the same documents. We know they're true. Nobody wants to report on them. And what does that say that they hate Donald Trump so much that they will take somebody who, quite honestly, you could make the case betrayed his country? Joe Biden, if this stuff is real, and I believe we have enough evidence to maybe not convict, I think we do, but maybe not convict, but there's at least a grand jury. would be convened. If it was anybody else, a grand jury would be convened, and I believe they'd go to prison.
Starting point is 00:09:58 He betrayed the nation, and nobody seems to care. I keep waiting for somebody drop the hammer on these guys, but they're not going to drop the hammer on them. They're all getting too much money. I don't think Mike Lee, and I don't think Ted Cruz are getting money, but too many people in Congress on both sides of the aisle are getting money from, you know, Google and Facebook and Twitter and what they did what they're talking about now is an extortion racket even harpers said that the left big tech extortion racket remarkably the author compared the fight against
Starting point is 00:10:38 big tech to the Boston Tea Party which I understand and I think you're probably right but I want to I want to focus on something that John tester said yesterday he's from Montana John Tester called Big Tech the unregulated Wild West that needs to be dealt with. The problem is, first of all, I mean, most of it was babbling incoherently. I mean, it was, I had a better chance of understanding a full speech of Joe Biden than Tester yesterday. Made no sense. First of all, you're from the West.
Starting point is 00:11:13 What are you talking about the unregulated Wild West? People in the West like the fact that it's not regulated. but he was trying to make this sound like there's a you know there's there's there's just shootouts all the time you know what the wild west if you remember all of the stories of the wild west were because there was one outlaw and no one could stand against them there's one guy that has all of the money all of the power or he's just an outlaw with a big gang and no one can do anything about it and he sets all of the rules, and he suppresses, and he hurts, and he steals from everybody. And no one has the guts to take him on. It's High Noon. Do you remember High Noon? Listen to this. The judges left town,
Starting point is 00:12:04 Harvey's quit, and I'm having trouble getting deputies. People got to talk themselves into law and order before they do anything about it. Maybe because down deep, they don't care. They just don't care. I think you better go while there's still time. It's better for you and It's better for us. Amy. I mean it. If you won't go with me now, I'll be on that train when it leaves here. I've got to stay.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Why must you be so stupid, if you've forgotten what he is, if he's forgotten what he's done to people, if you've forgotten that he's crazy? Don't you remember when he sat in that chair and said, You'll never hang me, I'll come back. I'll kill you, Wilkins. I swear it, I'll kid you.
Starting point is 00:12:45 A terror-stricken town left him to face four killers. single-handed. Alone. That's what's happening. Jack Dorsey and Twitter. Zuckerberg and Facebook. Google. And their algorithms.
Starting point is 00:13:09 They're nothing but street gangs that have come to our town posing as a friend and now are trying to run our town, trying to tell us what we can believe in what we can't believe in. And no one is willing to stand up because they've either been bought off or they are standing
Starting point is 00:13:34 alone and no one will join them because everybody's too afraid. I truly believe courage is contagious. And I know I'm not alone in saying this. Come and get me. You are not going to frighten me into silence. I will speak as long as long as. as I have a voice. I'm not afraid of the government.
Starting point is 00:14:06 I am not afraid of social media. I am not afraid of death. I've made my choice on who I serve. And my king believes in freedom of speech. My king believes that each of us are an individual. My king understands individual salvation and not paying for the sins of others. My king teaches me love. My king teaches me common respect for the law.
Starting point is 00:14:44 But my king suffered and died and was whipped and scourged and mocked by the law. and even by those who followed God's law. Come what may, I will give my children and my grandchildren a legacy they can be proud of, that when the bullies came to town, I stood, even if I have to stand alone, which I know I won't have to, because there are millions of us. It's more than just you and me. Our sponsor, this half hour, is Norton. Whether you know it or not, you're connected to a whole lot of dangerous people.

They have a message for their investors, buckle up. The head of macro strategy warned that Wednesday's market turbulence may be a preview of what is ahead. When you think about the U.S. elections, COVID worsening, and all sorts of other news items coming out in the next couple of weeks, It could be a fairly scary time for investors. I completely agree.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Please. Please do the things that you need to do to be prepared for whatever may come your way. You know, we have some good news on the economy. We're going to give you that coming up. This is the kind of, you remember when the press was saying, how many jobs were saved or created? How could the government possibly count jobs that were saved? It wasn't even possible.
Starting point is 00:18:15 We just got economic news that the annualized GDP for the third quarter is the highest ever on record. It's up 33%. That's the highest jump ever. Now, we came from a stalled economy and almost a completely shut off economy. economy, but it's coming back. And who do you trust to bring the economy back? The guy who has done it or the guy who said it couldn't be done in 2016. The guy who says, let's encourage people to create jobs or the person who says, I need more regulation on companies and businesses.
Starting point is 00:19:02 I mean, I've never seen, have you still, a choice as clear as this? And this is his best argument, right? The him, President Trump talking about the economy, I think he had a signal that this was going to be a really good quarter. We all knew it was going to be a big number. But it performed well and we're going back toward normal, we hope. But like this is the thing he needs to be focusing on, right? This is his best argument. You know, even through all of the worst times of his approval rating, the worst times of his COVID handling, all of the things that dropped in the polls rarely ever did his handling of the economy dropped near those levels.
Starting point is 00:19:50 And in fact, he's ahead of Biden in almost every poll on that metric. So I just keep thinking that when people go into the voting booth, that they look at the, the, economy and they look at where they were before COVID and ask themselves, can he do it again? Or should I trust Biden? And I just can't imagine it. But I have no idea anymore. I don't know who the American people are. I think if people were actually going through the process you just described, they would pick Trump. The problem is they're not going through that process. They're just picking, do I like Trump or do I not like Trump? That's insane. You know, they're not, they're not considering Biden. I mean, this is a one-person election. It is completely a referendum on Trump
Starting point is 00:20:37 and whether people want four more years of him or not. And, you know, look, you can't, you can't do it that way. You should be thinking about what's going to happen. If you say no to Trump, what does a presidency of Joe Biden actually look like? And, you know, it's not going to be one where we hit our economic potential. I mean, it's almost, it's almost impossible to argue that side of it. You know, You saw the show last night that I did at 9 o'clock. It's on YouTube. It's also available at blazedtv.com. It was on my Wednesday night special.
Starting point is 00:21:09 And it was on the first 100 days. And I showed you the answer to the questions that they won't answer. Are they going to pack the court? Are they going to add states? Are they going to get rid of the filibuster? And I showed you where these ideas came from. from and how long they've been in the works and who's involved in all of these things and how the media started spinning these things a long time ago right after two weeks after the election
Starting point is 00:21:45 they started spinning the electoral college thing and now i think it's 68 percent of americans believe we shouldn't have the electoral college do you understand what the electoral college does if you're living in a big city, you probably don't care because everything is regulated and it's good for you. But you should not dictate what happens in Nebraska. You should not dictate what happens on farms, et cetera, et cetera. You can't dominate. That is majority rule. Majority rule always leads to tyranny.
Starting point is 00:22:29 What happened to America loves the little guy? What happened to that? We've lost our heritage, our history, and we've lost all of our principles. This is the last grab for the Golden Ring. This is the Glenn Beck program. I was talking to you just a minute ago about the toolbox of Norton. In the toolbox of Norton 360, you can put LifeLock.

It's vital. You don't give them this opportunity. You have to be really careful on how you do business and do things online. It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives. Now, Norton 360 is that toolbox. the same company has LifeLock,

Starting point is 00:24:49 Into the Radio Hall of Fame. Well, not yet. Not yet. They have until tonight to change their mind. Right. And we do think they will. Yeah, I really do. I think they might.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I think they might. I mean, they should. Pat and I have been lobbying. I'm hard. Behind the scenes. We called Craig Kitchen and said, what do you think it? I have been thinking, you know, where in the Radio Hall of Fame is my stuff going to be? And I figured out probably in the broom closet.
Starting point is 00:25:15 If you're lucky. If I'm lucky, the broom closet. Might be in the round receptacle in the broom closet. There is a physical Radio Hall of Fame, though, right? Yeah, in Chicago. Yeah, in Chicago. Okay. I mean, people are featured like Bob Hope.

Starting point is 00:25:40 You know, I don't know why you'd be. Great. I know. I know. And then Glenn. In the brew closet. I mean, you're more of a guy. Longevity, right?
Starting point is 00:25:51 You've been around for a long time. They're like, we've got to put them in. That's kind of, I think that was the decision making process. Is it really? I mean, how long it was 40? 42, 40. I don't even know. 40 some years.
Starting point is 00:26:01 A long time. I think we got into the same year. I was just. three years older than you. Yeah. And that was that 1977? 78. 78.
Starting point is 00:26:11 78. 78. So we were trying to put together something that would look back at the Glenn Beck career from 1978. So basically, about 42 years. We combined it into 90 seconds. This has got to be good. This is the best 90 seconds of Glenn Beck's career.
Starting point is 00:26:30 No, I mean, this is actually, listen to this. This is going back. Some of these. Glenn is like. Did you get anything from like the really, really? early years? Oh, there's some, yeah, there's some really early stuff in here. Excited. Looking back at the career of one, Glenn Beck.
Starting point is 00:26:42 WPGC, G.C.101. 970 WFLA. My name is Glenn Beck. Kick it. We started with Humble Beginning. Good morning to you with us. Glenn and Jim. It's the Glenn Beck Morning Show. Little did I know it would catch on. I think you are nuts. I'll tell you what. If I give you $50, will you go away happy?
Starting point is 00:27:02 There was a time when I first got on that Everybody hated me, man. Mr. Rush Limbaugh. The man. The evil one. Carl Rowe. Hello, Mr. Vice President. How are you? John McCain. Let's see. Hello to Don Imus.
Starting point is 00:27:15 It is Tuesday, September 11th, 2001. We will talk and listen to each other, maybe in a way that we haven't done for quite some time. How can you just sit there? You know who has the right for free speech? I do. Pull flat, Duke, Dave, Alert. That's all about. power and manipulation.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Sniper on the list, did we tell you? Okay, we get at CNN. Thank you very much. I don't think so. I think this guy is some sick freak. Get on my phone! Too much opinion on radio. That's the problem.
Starting point is 00:27:48 What is a peninsula? It's an island surrounded by land, right? I just got back from Iraq. We have moved or fed 11,450 Iraqi Christians out of the Middle East. hopefully in a couple of years you'll hear an old show of mine and you'll say wow it's just it's different and you'll mean that in a good way and so will i wow how long did that take to make there's actual people who belong in the hall of fame i put it together yeah oh my gosh i can't even i'm glad you didn't concentrate on anything from w pgc or i think there was a kupy y in there
Starting point is 00:28:31 which is like I was 13 years old. Oh, there were some really old. We had even more that had to be cut. Cut out. Because they had to be limited to 90 seconds. But, you know, like, it's been pretty amazing. And an amazing run when you go back to through your career. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:43 All the different things that have happened, all the huge guests that you've had. All the, that's amazing. I think if you was such an underachiever and in reality, you've overachieved well past your time. Well, there you go. The Hall of Fame is tonight, the induction ceremony. and you can hear it, the broadcast at 7 p.m., just go to the IHeart radio app
Starting point is 00:29:07 and search for Radio Hall of Fame. Also, it's going to be on SiriusXM, the Triumph Channel, tonight at 7 p.m. Eastern time. I'm going to play that on the Blaze? Are we not allowed? But I don't, we are playing it on the Blaze? Yes, we are playing it on Blaze Radio or?
Starting point is 00:29:25 Yeah, Blaze Radio. So it'll be there. I don't know. I, you know. This is, you know, this is my party. So I don't cry if you want to. Yeah, and I didn't plan it. Do you think they canceled it so they didn't have to have a ceremony with you in person?
Starting point is 00:29:38 Yes, I do. Yeah, I screw because of COVID. I just don't want them here. I guess though next year, everybody who's inducted is supposed to go next year to the big dinner. Oh, okay. But there won't be a big dinner. The world will be on fire by then. I mean, this will all be over and we'll have of us will be dead.
Starting point is 00:29:54 That's happy. Yeah, well, I thought so. It's about as optimistic as he's been off the air, too. So, Pat, what are your thoughts on, you know, here we are just a, oh my gosh, we are five days away from the fundamental transformation of the United States of America. That's today. Yep. Five days away. It's scary.
Starting point is 00:30:16 It's scary. I'm trying to inject a little hope, though, into this madness every day just so we can survive it, just so we can be sane. And there's actually some things, you know, that leads. you to believe that maybe there's hope. Okay. Okay. Let me give you a few headlines. Yes, yes, yes, yes. From 2016.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Oh, boy. U.S. News and World Report. Seven reasons why Hillary Clinton's win over Donald Trump is a done deal. Oh, okay. Didn't work out very well for him. Also, this survey finds Hillary Clinton has, quote, more than a 99% chance, unquote, of winning election over Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:30:57 99% Well they're saying 96% now So she lost After a 99% chance They were predicting she would have 312 electoral votes She came up with 232 Then there was this from Reuters
Starting point is 00:31:15 Clinton has a 90% chance of winning According to a Reuters Ipsos poll And then another chance of winning graph Hillary Clinton This was the I think this was real clear politics overall average. Of all the polls together, Hillary Clinton had a 71.4% chance to 28.6 for Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Did you read what Hillary Clinton said this week? I was born to be the president. She believes it's her birthright. Right. She does. I was born to be the president. And that's what has made this so upsetting to me. Since when, excuse me?
Starting point is 00:31:51 Are we doing royalty now in the United States of America? I was born to be the. greatest television star of all time and it was taken from me oh my gosh what kind of out of control egomaniac is that one that isn't the president yeah that's the kind okay i i like that we'll go there um did you see one last thing i want to talk to you about did you see the tucker video last night yeah i saw i saw i thought you're talking about the one where he they lost the yeah can we play this real quick this is is the Tucker, the Hunter documents have vanished.
Starting point is 00:32:30 This is from Tucker Carlson last night. There's always a lot going on that we don't have time to get to on the air, but there's something specific going on behind the scenes right now that we did feel we should tell you about. So on Monday of this week, we received from a source, a collection of confidential documents related to the Biden family. We believe those documents are authentic, they're real, and they're damning. At the time we receive them, my executive producer, Justin Wells, and I were in Los Angeles
Starting point is 00:32:55 preparing to interview Tony Babelinski about the Biden's business dealings in China, Ukraine, and other countries. So we texted a producer in New York, and we asked him to send those documents to us in L.A., and he did that. So Monday afternoon of this week, he shipped those documents overnight to California with a large national carrier, a brand name company that we've used, you've used countless times with never a single problem. But the Biden documents never arrived in Los Angeles. Tuesday morning, we received word from the shipping company that our package had been open and the contents were missing. The documents had disappeared. Now, to its credit, the company took this very seriously and immediately began a search. They traced the envelope from the moment our producers
Starting point is 00:33:36 dropped it off in Manhattan on Monday all the way to 3.44 a.m. yesterday morning. That's when an employee at a sorting facility in another state noticed that our package was open and empty. Apparently, it had been open. So the company's security team interviewed every one of its employees who touch the envelope we sent. They searched the plane and the trucks that carried it. They went through the office in New York where our producer dropped that package off. They combed the entire cavernous sorting facility. They used pictures of what we had sent so that searchers would know what to look for. They went far and beyond, but they found nothing. Those documents have vanished. As of tonight, the company has no idea and no working theory even about what happened to this
Starting point is 00:34:23 trove of materials, documents that are directly relevant to the presidential campaign just six days from now. We spoke to executives at that company a few hours ago. They seemed baffled and deeply bothered by this. And so are we. I'm going to comment on this in hour number three, but I wanted to get your thoughts. Did you, because I saw this last night, and then I went online, and I saw comments about it. And it's the stereotypical, you know, leftist stuff saying, because they didn't exist. You're just making this up, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Any first thoughts on this?
Starting point is 00:34:59 I mean, it's incredibly strange, right? I mean, obviously some packages do get lost. They're not usually opened, though, and then the contents removed. I don't know exactly what would happen. I mean, I assume they didn't write Tucker Carlson, big hunter documents inside on the outside of the envelope. So, I mean, unless, I mean, it's hard to know exactly what, if it made it all the way across the country until three, four, 4 a.m. the day before. Someone would have had to know maybe the producer's name and like it's just a,
Starting point is 00:35:28 it's a weird string of events that would lead to these things disappearing. But I mean, if this, if the documents, if the company went through all the records and they could find it all the way here and this doesn't happen normally, it is very, very strange. I assume, please tell me they took pictures of the documents and they still have them, right? I mean, like they got copies. They got copies, I hope, across the deal, right? that would be taken in the facility, wouldn't you? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:35:56 You would think there'd be video surveillance. Here's why I think this is absolutely real. Did you notice he didn't say UPS or Federal Express? He believes the company. He believes the company and the company is upset about it. Otherwise, he would have named the company. He'd have thrown them under the bus. He would have thrown under the bus.
Starting point is 00:36:13 And he believes that there's a chance that they will find out who did this. And I have some, I have some. I have some comments coming up in the third hour because my wife and I talked about it last night and she was like, come on. And I just reminded her of a few things. And she was like, oh yeah. So I will comment on this on hour number three coming up.
Starting point is 00:36:37 You guys how Tucker didn't call out the company, but Glenn did call out his wife. That's right. And I have her, I put her in a federal express bag. Now she's missing. The bag, I got the bag. Wow, there are so many jokes in there. So, let me just say this.
Starting point is 00:36:57 You've made one of the classic blunders. Can you do this? You've made one of the class of Pat. Pat, give me your best Vincini. The best Vincini. You've made one of the classic blunders. You've made one of the classic blunders. That guy?
Starting point is 00:37:13 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. What classic blunder is this? Is it never to have a land war? Asia. Never get involved in an energy company's business in Asia. Never get involved in an energy company's business in Asia. While smoking crack. Or something while smoking crack. Only slightly less known. Only slightly less known is purchasing a timeshare.

Last night, we did a show that I think you could share with your friends who are undecided about what's really going on in the Democratic party what's really happening and and the democrats have been sold out and it's it's not the democratic party that you you have come to believe it is anymore and we laid out how the change happened and what they really are planning on doing in the first 100 days with all of the evidence and we urge you to watch it you can find it on blais tv.com slash glen if you use a promo code glen you can save

And then it just kind of stopped gathering steam. It's weird. You should be thankful that they even let it on there. Your lies. I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:39:44 There's a story from the Federalist about how many people in the GOP and in the institutional GOPers want the GOP to go back to normal. And they think that it will go back to normal if Donald Trump leaves. I got news for you. The GOP is dead. The one that we know is dead. The fighters are not. The people who are fighting for the Constitution.
Starting point is 00:40:14 But I think they're going to have to find a new party or it's going to have to transform. The Democrats, here's what happens. Listen, hope and change. What was that all about? During the Bush administration, endless wars, you wanted to be told the truth, that you wanted transparency on what was really going on, right? And so Barack Obama won for a couple of reasons, historic election, and he promised hope and change. People defined that a little bit like they defined Joe Biden. He's everything to everybody. It's not really about him. It's about something else. And same with Barack Obama in many ways with hope and change. I'll tell you how this all fell apart coming up yet to come on today's show.

This is the Glenback program. I want to talk to about Not Free America. This is a great book written by Mike Donovan. It is written by.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Mike is a guy who fought tyranny for years. He's the founder of the nation's largest pro bono civil rights law firm. And as he puts in the new book, Not Free America, our Bill of Rights has been under attack long before COVID-19 or George Floyd's murder. If you refuse to surrender your liberty to any earthly power, this is a book that you need to read. Not Free America. It solves the issue of citizens being used by the government,

There are two walls of fire that we have to make sure keep lit so those who want to destroy our Constitution cannot cross them. One of them is the presidency. The other is the Senate. If you lose both the House and the Senate, you got nothing.
Starting point is 00:44:03 You got nothing. Sorry, not the House and the Senate, but the presidency and the Senate. We must hold on to the presidency and the Senate. We're going to talk to Mike Lee about what the Senate has been up to, including what happened yesterday with the hearing on big tech censorship. This is so critically important, and I don't know how only one side seems to care about it. Mike Lee joins us in 60 seconds.
Starting point is 00:44:34 This is the Glenn Beck program. When you're playing a team sport, it is critical that you don't go out onto the court and try to win the game all by yourself. At least that's what people who watch sports tell me all the time. Let me tell you something. Buying and selling a house is a team sport. You try to do everything by yourself and you're going to miss a lot of things, not to mention how exhausting the whole process will be. What you need is the best set of teammates you can get,
Starting point is 00:45:03 which means you need the best real estate agent you can get, because the good ones come with an entire team. The agents who work with real estate agents I trust, my company, they're the best and the best in your area. They know all the right people to get a hold of people to help you, and they know all the best practices for buying and selling homes. They have the best track record. And I don't want you to take my word for it.
Starting point is 00:45:27 I want you to interview one for yourself today, and you'll see what I mean. It's real estate agents. I trust.com. The name says it all. Real estate agents I trust. Senator Mike Lee, one of the bulldogs yesterday as the senators were grilling the chief executives of Google, Facebook, and Twitter. Welcome to the program, Senator. Thank you, Glenn.
Starting point is 00:45:55 It's going to be back on your show. So first of all, can we just, can I ask, are we going to hold the Senate? We are going to hold the Senate. I believe we're going to because I believe in Winston Churchill's words that the American people will do the right thing after they've exhausted. every other alternative. There is no reasonable alternative that involves giving this thing over to the Democrats. When they've promised to pack the court, when they have promised to add two states to keep a perpetual Democratic majority, when they promise to enact Green New Deal policies and decimate the fossil fuel industry, we can't allow that to happen. So look, I can't see the future, Glenn, but I can see that the future under Democratic control of the Senate is a dismal one.
Starting point is 00:46:39 And we're not going to accept that. And it's not just, it's not like the usual, hey, you can't let Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. This is, these are constitution busters. Are they not? Absolutely. They are constitution busters. These are things that would do irreparable harm to our system of government. Take packing the court, for example, Glenn.
Starting point is 00:47:02 It's not technically unconstitutional, but it would undo the constitutional fabric. It would completely decimate the way we undertake We undertake Separation of Powers in this country. It would become a political body more than it would be a judicial body. And that's really tragic. If I'm not mistaken, FDR tried this, And he just wanted a rubber stamp for all of his New Deal policies. And only 34% of the Republicans or the Democrats back then stood against it.
Starting point is 00:47:33 But it failed. They had control. but it failed. Do you see that kind of spirit at all in the Democratic Party of standing against it? No, no, no, I don't. I don't. And Glenn, here's the really upsetting part to me. When FDR wanted this thing out in the fall of 1936 and then introduced the legislation
Starting point is 00:47:56 in early 1937, yes, it technically failed. Yes, he technically didn't get it passed, but it ended up leaving a, a serious dent made a tragic mark. It resulted in one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse switching sides, Justice Owen Roberts. And they were so scared by this thing that Owen Roberts started rubber stamping his New Deal era legislation. And to this day, we're suffering under the consequences of a Supreme Court that basically relinquished its duty to draw a line between what the Congress has authority to enact under the Commerce Clause and what it doesn't. So they're also talking about Joe Biden said that we're not only just looking at that.
Starting point is 00:48:44 We're also looking at other options like the fact that we wouldn't mess with a lifetime appointment, but maybe we would switch Amy Coney Barrett to another court. What is that? Yeah. Yeah, that's a simple word for that. I think the word is unconstitutional. It doesn't work. That's too cute by half.
Starting point is 00:49:06 And Joe needs to go back to Domino's in the basement, Delaware. This constitutional analysis while in the condition that he's in much of the time doesn't work. And that logic certainly doesn't work. Let me, could you explain to the American people why the electoral college is so important? Okay. So we're not a direct democracy. We have embedded within our system, certain mediating institutions that are there to make sure
Starting point is 00:49:45 that we're not run by the mob. And so we have counter-majoritarian features, including things like the First Amendment and the Fifth Amendment, and including things like the Senate, where each state is equal represented. And where that equal representation among the states is all. represented in the way our presidents are chosen. It's not a direct presidential election. If you get rid of the electoral college, small states like mine become flyover country. They become almost irrelevant because all of a sudden everybody would spend all their time
Starting point is 00:50:17 campaigning in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and a couple of other cities. And that's it. That's all they would need to win a simple majority is to campaign in a few very major media markets. And why is that? Why is that so bad, Mike? I mean, that's where the majority of the people live. Yeah, it's bad because it overturns the fact that we are a constitutional, federal republic. We're not simply a single nation. Yeah, but what does that really mean? I mean, we all live by majority rule. What's bad? What's wrong with majority rules? Well, majority rules is a terrible, terrible path to take because it always leads to tyranny. The founding fathers knew this, and so they sought to mediate at every step the implications of mob rule.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Well, wait, majority rules on the Supreme Court. What's the difference? Yeah. Although the Supreme Court's not a policymaking body, at least for now, at least until Joe Biden gets into office and implements his court packing plan, it's not a political body. And so, yes, the majority rules among them, but among the citizenry generally, you need principles governing and you need local government governing. You get rid of the electoral college. That is a very serious step toward us no longer being 50 semi-sovereign entities operating
Starting point is 00:51:49 as one for limited purposes. Mike, let me switch to deseret.com, which is So unbelievably pro-America and pro-constitution, said Senator Lee and other Republicans accused tech companies of partisan censorship. We know that the Democrats did the opposite and said, that's ridiculous. You're just living in a fantasy conspiratorial world, if you believe that. Tell me what you think happened yesterday. And did anything important happen when you had the CEOs of Google, Facebook and Twitter sitting in front of you guys.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Yeah. Let me tell you what happened. I sat them down and I said, look, you're all acting as if this bias doesn't exist and just as importantly as if it swings both ways. They all are really fond of saying things like, you know, we've got our detractors on both sides of the aisle. Neither side's really happy with us.
Starting point is 00:52:55 That's sort of the progressives way of pretending like they're not batting for the socialist team. And they said to them, okay, I want to ask all three of you. All three of you have told us. All three of you have said to the American people, on the record, we don't tip the scale for partisan ideological reasons or along political lines. Can you back that up? And can you give me a single instance of a high profile conservative individual? individual or entity who's been censored, meaning whose content has been disfavored, whose ad has been taken down, whose blog or website has been demonetized or has otherwise received negative adverse
Starting point is 00:53:38 treatment from him. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, couldn't come up with one. He said, well, we've got a whole lot of them on both sides of the aisle. And I said, I don't need to know all of them. I need to know one from the top of your head. We can all think of probably dozens. on the Republican side of the L. Most Americans can who have had that happen. I just want one on the liberal side that that's happened to. Couldn't name one. Jack Dorsey, couldn't name one.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Again, he tried the same technique as Zuckerberg. Oh, there are lots. I'll get back to you. And I said, no, I want one, and I want one right now. He couldn't give me one. Then we had Mr. Pekai from Google, who by that point had had two or three minutes, and I'm sure they probably passed him a note.
Starting point is 00:54:25 He identified a couple of relatively obscure ones that I haven't heard of. I haven't been able to verify yet. Otherwise, couldn't name any. And so my point there was you cannot claim publicly that you're even-handed and you're not waiting the scale and get continuously discriminate only against high-profile conservatives, Republicans, pro-life groups, and candidates. You can't do that. That, in turn, is at least incompatible with the spirit, if not also the left.
Starting point is 00:54:55 of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, and I think we need to look into that. So, Mike, I think it's important what you and particularly you and Senator Cruz did yesterday, you put them on notice, we're not going away, and we don't believe you. However, where's the teeth? When do the teeth actually bite into the meat? When is something going to be done? One of the most immediate direct ways that we could achieve action. We know that we don't have, there's no 230 proposal that exists out there right now that we know would fix the problem or that comes anywhere close to having, being able to pass in either House of Congress.
Starting point is 00:55:45 I'm working on one. There are several other members who are working on their own. I have yet to see one that actually does the job. It could happen. In the meantime, there are a few tools that, We have at our disposal under existing law. One is Section 5 of the Better Trade Commission Act that deals with deceptive, unfair trade practices. Another consists of our antitrust laws in some instances.
Starting point is 00:56:12 One or more of these companies may have involved in antitrust violations. I held a hearing on this just a few weeks ago as chairman of the Senate Antitrust Subcommittee. And we've got ongoing investigations. We've got ongoing legal actions brought by the Department of Justice against Google on that front. So it's not as though we're unarmed currently, but we are looking for ways to update and modernize the law to make them more accountable. It's not necessarily easy to get anything passed in Congress right now, but we're going to try. If Donald Trump loses, God forbid, does this Hunter Biden stuff just go away and has. Have you looked at the documents yourself and do you believe them to be verified?
Starting point is 00:57:03 As to the Hunter Biden documents themselves, no one from the Biden campaign is saying these are not Hunter Biden's emails. If they are, then I want to be corrected. But to my knowledge, Glenn, not a single person connected to the Biden campaign has said these aren't real. Hunter Biden himself, to my knowledge, has not said they're not real. So there's not even an inference of their fraudulence at this point. There's not even a suggestion of that. As to your first question, if Joe Biden gets elected president of the United States does this go away, probably, probably, yeah. Because I doubt that there is any federal office that would look at it at this point.
Starting point is 00:57:55 I mean, it's gone away from for this long. The media hasn't covered it, with the exception of Fox News, Wall Street Journal, you and a couple of other people out there. It's been crickets. It really is tragic. And yet the news media is not holding him to account for the fact that there are some very serious questions here. And he's dismissing it as if it were nothing. Well, it seems to be a problem, you know, when the police are bad, and I say that about the FBI and those investigating this, if the police are bad, there's no one to run to.
Starting point is 00:58:36 And there seems to be a real problem in the Justice Department and FBI. Look, I've been concerned for some time about the FBI. The leadership of Chris Ray has not brought clarity. to the dark and murky deep state. And it needs to happen. I strongly suspect that there will be changes within the FBI leadership structure immediately after the election if President Trump wins. And I look forward to that. Thank you, Mike.
Starting point is 00:59:14 I appreciate it. Senator Mike Lee from Utah. Thank you for guarding our Constitution. All right. I want to talk to you a little bit about American financing. If you are looking to buy property, if you're looking to refi or consolidate, please talk to American financing at Americanfinancing.net. There was just a story today from Wells Fargo, I think, that said,
Starting point is 00:59:42 after the election, things could get really dicey for the dollar and for Wall Street. You think so? Please, please. We are five days away from the possibility of fundamental transformation. We have got to have our ducks in a row by Tuesday, and American financing can help you do that. Get your house financially in order before you just aren't qualified for a loan anymore. American financing, 800, 906 2440, or go to Americanfinancing. net.
Starting point is 01:00:24 American financing NMLS 1-8-2334, www. www.mLS consumer access.org. Let's do 10 seconds station ID. You know, what's really frightening to me is how the left now views the average American. I don't think, and if this is you, you need to go back and check yourself. But those on the left, I'm not talking about Democrats, those on the left have no time or space for those who think differently. And they have just whipped everybody up into this frenzy to where they are talking about.
Starting point is 01:01:30 Now, what do we do? How do we deal with these Republicans? What do you mean? How do you deal with these Republicans? What does that mean? How do we, we just can't let these Trump supporters just go. What are you talking about? Can you imagine if Donald Trump would have said that about Hillary Clinton supporters? What would be your, what would be your option? What, what are you planning on doing?
Starting point is 01:02:02 This, we are changing fundamentally to a banana republic. when one side wins, they have to wipe out everyone else. That's the problem with not accepting the results of an election. If the election is fair, if there's no funny business going on, if there's no cheating going on, well, then Americans accept that. I mean, honestly, even there's always some level of cheating in these events. Yeah. And we've accepted elections before that I, you know, you could totally. Yeah. I mean, you could totally look at and say there was massive fraud going on, massive shadiness.
Starting point is 01:02:50 What sets us apart, because everybody can always have this qualifier at the end, right? Well, you know, look, I just think there was, there was lots of fraud. That's what every dictator that loses says, right? we have to have a system that people have faith in, that people are treating correctly, that are not motivated to win at any costs and overrun all the rules to get their way. And we've accepted losses that I hate it.
Starting point is 01:03:23 I mean, you know, I think I wanted Barack Obama to be president in the United States. I thought he was a terrible president. But we accepted it. Bill Clinton, we accepted it. There's not there's not it's been the opposite for Democrats. Every election in my adult life they have lost, they have said was stolen from them, every single one of them. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:03:42 How do you deal with the side of the aisle that acts this way? Oh, well, the Ohio voting machines were hacked. That was 2004. Oh, 2000 was well covered. Yeah. Obviously. We saw it. We see it every single time they win.
Starting point is 01:04:00 I mean, they've spent the last four years telling us that Russia stole the election from Hillary Clinton. They're still telling us that and they're saying new things about Russia. Yeah. This Hunter Biden thing is Russia. You can't take a side seriously when they can, they go on television all the time and complain about how they're so worried Donald Trump won't leave the White House. Well, you know, you guys have complained about this every single election, every one of them. Every time you lose, you say it was unfair. Every time you don't have a leg to stand on in this case.

You can hear it on the I-Heart Radio app 7 p.m. Eastern or on Blaze Radio. This is the Glenn Beck program. Seth Dillon, may he live forever, is the CEO of the Babylon B. the world's most trusted, factually accurate news source. We have Seth on the phone with us now.
Starting point is 01:06:33 Hello, Seth. Hi, Glenn. Thanks for having me on. You bet. So I think one of the funniest things, I mean, you guys are funny every single day, and I love what you do. Thank you. But one of the funniest things I've seen in a while,
Starting point is 01:06:47 and it was because of the reaction was the post where, you know, You said Senator Hirono demands that Amy Coney-Barrid be weighed against a duck to see if she's a witch. Yeah. And the quotes were all from Monty Python. I mean, it was really brilliant. And you had a picture of her in the committee hearing with a duck in a burlap bag next to her. And you were banned by Facebook. We were demonetized.
Starting point is 01:07:19 They didn't take down our page, but they threatened us. Well, they didn't threaten. They penalized us with demonetization and said that this was an incitement to violence because there was a line in that article that said we must burn her. And anybody who can't just say that. You have to say the entire line. Do you have the entire line from it? Because I think I have it here someplace. We do.
Starting point is 01:07:47 Yeah. You want to read her door. No, go ahead. Go ahead. I got to find it. Hold on one second. I just love this. I just love this line. I'm looking for it too. Absolutely, absolutely absurd. Oh, she's a witch all right. Just look at her, said Senator Herono.
Starting point is 01:08:03 Just look at the way she's dressed and how she's so much prettier and smarter than us. I just know it. We must burn her. I mean, it's just absolutely ridiculous. And the line about, I know, not only am I a senator, I know a few things about science. And wood floats, so do ducks. And so if she weighs. the same weight as a duck as she can be burned because she's, I mean, it's great stuff and there's no way
Starting point is 01:08:31 anyone took that seriously. No, no. And this is, we've had this happen before where there's just stories that, I mean, if you remember what happened with CNN, the CNN story we did and Snopes fact-checking it, you know, we did a piece about how CNN
Starting point is 01:08:47 had bought an industrial washing machine to spin the news in before they published it. And it was just like on the face of it's so absurd. Obviously, they're not going to spin. It doesn't even make sense. It's just silly. It's just a silly joke about their bias and their agenda, right?
Starting point is 01:09:04 But they fact checked it, and Facebook threatened to penalize us for that because we were putting out misinformation. So it was a similar situation where, I mean, there are stories that we publish that are close enough to the truth. Reality, everything is believable today, right? So, I mean, it's very frequent that will become. close to the truth and that will even prophesy, prophesy the truth because these things come true all the time. But in these cases, these are two examples where we've had run-ins with Facebook, and these are the most outrageous stories you can imagine. And plus this one, this is a common reference. I mean, Moni-like is a classic, popular film. So, you know,
Starting point is 01:09:42 people who are reading this understand that this is a joke. So when you said to Facebook, well, hang on just a second, you allow leaders of Black Lives Matters. say, if we don't get our way, burn this system down. That's allowed. But this is a violation of your violence portion of your rules? Yeah, this is the point that I make. It's not that we're actually violating their community standards. You know, they did apologize and reinstate us, whatever.
Starting point is 01:10:13 We made us think about it. But we're not, we're never actually violating their community standards. But they're always reaching to try to treat us as if we did. And my question is, and the question that they won't answer is, why? Why are they treating us that way? You know, there's plenty of other sites out there. There's movements. There's groups.
Starting point is 01:10:30 There's groups that call for violence, promote violence. They consider violence a justified option instead of discourse. And we're just simply, we wake up every day, Glenn, in the morning. We look at the headlines and we think, what would be a funny take on that? What would be a funny take on that? And that's what we do. We go and write a funny, you know, satirical take on the issues. whatever they are. So that's how, I mean, we have no ill intentions whatsoever. But it goes beyond
Starting point is 01:10:58 the social networks. You have media coverage of us too. I don't know if you saw the piece in the New York Times recently. It was, you know, one more instance of them questioning our motives and saying, are they, are they trying to misinform people under the guise of comedy? And this is how they circumvent Facebook's rules. Imagine saying that about NBC's Saturday Night Live, which I do believe is biased. But I just did. I don't watch. it. If I don't like it, I don't watch it. Right, right. But it only, they say those things about us, but I mean, look, you've got, you've got a lot of political statements being made over at the Onion. The Onion is the most
Starting point is 01:11:33 popular satire site that's on the other side of the aisle from us in terms of, you know, political meanings. And, and their motives are never questioned. They're just considered a funny satire site. And we see that all the time. The media's treatment, the media is silent on, on their stuff. And then the fact checks that are done of the Onion, which are fewer and further between than ours are so friendly. They're with kid gloves. It's, oh, this is a satire site. The best satire site on the internet.
Starting point is 01:11:58 It's funny stuff. Just laugh at it. That's the way they handle those back checks. So we are certainly treated differently. There's double standards all over the place, and I'm not sure how people don't see it. We're talking to Seth Dillon, the CEO of the Babylon B. So you won this. They re-monetized you, but that doesn't help for the lost money and the lost
Starting point is 01:12:21 exposure that you have, you suffered during that time. My problem is, um, with this system, you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent. Right. This flips American, the thought of American justice and fair play completely on her head. Well, I'd say, let me say it's even worse than that. It's worse than that because we are only out of Facebook jail because we have a platform. We are able to make noise. We have a huge following, a very vocal following that's loyal and devoted to us. We have reporters, people in the media, people like you, that follow us on Twitter and Facebook and we'll talk about this stuff when we make people aware of it. So we're able to bring negative attention to Facebook's doorstep when they do this kind of stuff to us. But what about the little guys? What about people who don't have a large following? What about a small business who posts, you know, a blog article that was deemed, you know, an incitement to something. violence and they get shut down, they have no recourse whatsoever. So they don't even have the opportunity to appeal or make noise or prove themselves in a sense. So it, it, you, you have no, you need a platform in order to do that. We found that we're only successful in this case. This is a
Starting point is 01:13:38 great example of this. We, we went through the formal channels of appealing with Facebook. They give you that option when this stuff happens. And the person who manually reviewed this article upheld the original ruling that it was an incitement to violence. So we got a firm no from Facebook. They said, no, you're demonetized until you fix this. You've got to edit that article. And that's when we went public with it and brought attention to it because that's just ridiculous. But we're fortunate enough to be in a position where we can do that, but not everybody is. How many people do this happen to and they have no recourse? Well, they did this to me when, you know, when I was on Fox, you know, this show started as a comedy show. A lot of the stuff I do.
Starting point is 01:14:18 you know, I've done in the past has been, you know, with a comedic bent to be able to make the point. They took everything that I did, took it out of context, made it seem like I really actually meant those things. And it was just not worth the hassle anymore, which is so damaging because I think they know the power of comedy. Yeah. Yeah, they do. It's a threat. I mean, look, We love this quote from G.K. Chesterton. He puts it brilliantly in the framing the effectiveness of humor. He said, humor can get in under the door while seriousness is still fumbling at the handle. And I love that because it's true. I mean, humor's disarming. When you wrap a message in the package of humor, it's easier to deliver it. It's more easily received. This stuff that more easily goes viral, even on really controversial or heated topics. So, you know, when we're making our points really effectively using it, then, yeah, they try to find ways to, to to denigrate us, to smear us, to shut us up. And it's clearly, you know, a building of the predicate for censorship in our view and certainly dangerous.
Starting point is 01:15:31 Have you, have you been following it all the truth and reconciliation trials and committees, suggestions that the Democrats are seemingly wanting to pick up? Have you been following that? Truths and Reconciliation, you're talking about identifying people after this election is over, you know, picking out these people who are problematic. Yes, yes. Anybody in the media, you know, anybody in... I've heard mentions of that, you know, trying to build lists.
Starting point is 01:16:02 This is not over. You know, we're going to come after you kind of stuff. And a lot of that, I don't know how much of that is an empty threat, but I certainly wouldn't put it past them to think in those terms and try to do something like that. I think it's awful. Seth, I'll have my research team send you some information on this and their white papers on it. It's not an empty threat. The extreme left is really pushing for this. And that puts all of us, especially you.
Starting point is 01:16:32 I don't know if you know who, oh, shoot, what was his name? I can't remember now. He was the famous actor in Germany. He was probably the number one box. office comedy actor and he took on the the Nazis for a long time finally escaped because they shut him down but he really thought he could get away with it in the end he his story is remarkable those people who don't appreciate the the fact that they're not infallible when they want to shut people up they become very
Starting point is 01:17:14 very vindictive and they go after people who can rally or people that can make people laugh. Yep. Yeah, well, I mean, it's all the more reason for us to be more vocal, right? Yes, it is. You know, it's not that we relish this fight, you know, that we enjoy it. But we certainly, we won't back down from it. That's for sure. Thank you so much. Yeah. Thank you. God bless you. Yeah. Thank you, Glenn. You bet. That's the CEO of the Babylon B, which if you don't fight, follow you should. It's very, very funny.

My dog, Uno, know, is such a changed animal ever since I started putting rough greens on his food.

Starting point is 01:26:57 You know, he's healthy. He's happy. Come on, no, no. Slow down. Slow down. Your owner's not exactly happy and healthy. So don't try that. Hey, let's go out and play.
Starting point is 01:27:07 Let's go and throw the ball. Come on, throw the ball. Throw the ball. find somebody else bud or i'm tapering it down uh he has gained weight which is what we were trying to get him to do some dogs you put this on and they lose weight uh and it's because their activity level goes way up they they have such energy it's like they are kids again it really is and it all comes from the probiotics and the digestive enzymes and even the omega oils and antioxidants All this stuff that you're supposed to have, your dog's supposed to have too.
Starting point is 01:27:43 Rough Greens, not a dog food, you put it on top, and it changes your dog. See your dog, turn into a healthier and happier dog. Watch them thrive again. Go to Rough Greens. RUFF Greens.com slash back. RUFF Greens.com slash back. All right. I want to play a cut from last night's Tucker Carlson show, which, by the way, pray for Tucker Carlson.
Starting point is 01:28:20 Pray for him, pray for his staff. He is one of the bravest people on television. I think he is, quite honestly, I know I'm going to leave somebody out on this, so I apologize in advance. But I think he's the only one on cable television actually telling the whole truth, the truth that you need to hear. He is, he's doing a fantastic job. Tucker and I are not, you know, I think we're friends now, but we were never, you know, close or anything else. And I think there was a time when Tucker didn't like me, but that's most people. I went through that time with you.
Starting point is 01:29:02 There's the defense. So anyway, you know, and I'm not saying this because I have anything to gain with Tucker. I just really respect the job he's doing right now. And I know what it is like to be in the position that he's in right now. It is a dangerous world that he is living in on. I mean, there are booby traps all around him. So please pray for him and all others that are speaking the truth because it's going to get a lot more difficult should the president lose next week, which I am not willing to accept, but God's will be done. All right.
Starting point is 01:29:44 Let me play what he said yesterday on television. because it was pretty shocking. There's always a lot going on that we don't have time to get to on the air, but there's something specific going on behind the scenes right now that we did feel we should tell you about. So on Monday of this week, we received from a source, a collection of confidential documents related to the Biden family. We believe those documents are authentic, they're real, and they're damning. At the time we receive them, my executive producer, Justin Wells, and I were in Los Angeles, preparing to interview Tony Bob Alinsky about the Biden's business dealings in China, Ukraine, and other countries.
Starting point is 01:30:20 So we texted a producer in New York and we asked him to send those documents to us in L.A. And he did that. So Monday afternoon of this week, he shipped those documents overnight to California with a large national carrier, a brand name company that we've used, you've used countless times with never a single problem. But the Biden documents never arrived in Los Angeles. Tuesday morning, we received word from the shipping company that our package had been opened and the contents were missing. The documents had disappeared. Now, to its credit, the company took this very seriously. It immediately began a search.
Starting point is 01:30:53 They traced the envelope from the moment our producers dropped it off in Manhattan on Monday all the way to 3.44 a.m. yesterday morning. That's when an employee at a sorting facility in another state noticed that our package was open and empty. Apparently it had been open. So the company's security team interviewed every one of its employees who touched the envelope we sent. They searched the plane and the trucks that carried it. They went through the office in New York where our producer dropped that package off. They combed the entire cavernous sorting facility. They used pictures of what we had sent so that searchers would know what to look for. They went far and beyond, but they found nothing. Those documents have vanished. As of tonight,
Starting point is 01:31:38 the company has no idea and no working theory even about what happened to this trove of materials, documents that are directly relevant to the presidential campaign just six days from now. We spoke to executives at that company a few hours ago. They seemed baffled and deeply bothered by this, and so are we. So I said to my wife last night, I said, did you see this? And she said what I think many Americans will think. And that is, they didn't make a copy? Why didn't they make a copy?
Starting point is 01:32:19 Come on, wait a minute. You think that somebody was, I mean, how did somebody even know what was in there? So let me give you the conversation that I had with my wife last night. And that is this. We have sent her wedding ring, a diamond ring, through Federal Express. We have sent things of great value. I just bought some silver a month ago, and it was shipped UPS. I've never had, I've had packages not arrive, get lost or late, but it's always arrived.
Starting point is 01:33:09 And I've never had anything opened on the way. Has, have you? Never. Never. So, as he said, it was opened. It was in one of their facilities, and it was opened. Now, what did he have? A big Tucker Carlson sticker on it. Hey, top secret documents that might hurt Biden.
Starting point is 01:33:40 Don't open this. No. Somebody had to know that package was on its way. The first thing I said to my wife last night, do you not recall the night that you said to me, dear God, we're living like a Jason Bourne movie when we were at Fox? So do you remember what that was like? Do you remember? Do you remember how many times we had our offices swept for bugs?
Starting point is 01:34:21 and not just because we thought somebody from the left was doing it. Yes, they were going through our garbage, but not just because we worried about Soros kind of people, but because we also had credible reason to suspect that there would be someone that would want the information that we were going to go through and have and have it before we broadcast from the right. Well, why didn't, why didn't they make a copy? How many people, honey, do you trust?
Starting point is 01:35:05 Do you trust? My wife is not a conspiracy. She doesn't, I mean, honestly, she just, she's not impressed with politics, politicians, celebrities, money, fame, none of it. I am the luckiest man in the world because if she were, I'd be out of control. But she is not impressed with any of it. She doesn't like most of it.
Starting point is 01:35:39 She is always the first to me to say, wait a minute, wait, wait, you think what's going to happen? She's a great check on me. She's my soulmate. she's my other half. We don't have people over at our house anymore. Anyone over to our house anymore. We don't have, we have probably maybe four people that we know that we trust,
Starting point is 01:36:19 that are, that she will say they can come over. And, and we have many, I mean, everyone I've worked with, Stu, Sarah. She doesn't, it's not that she doesn't like people or doesn't trust individuals.
Starting point is 01:36:36 She just no longer trusts people. And it's the worst thing that has happened to my wife because of what I do. It's the worst thing. And I try to say to her, honey, you got to separate. And she's, we've just been burned too many times. And she just doesn't want it. it around the family and in the house. So if you are working exposing something as dynamic as this Hunter Biden story, this is the most,
Starting point is 01:37:15 if the press knows it or they would allow it to be get, they would they would follow up on it. They would at least ask Biden, is that his laptop? Are these real? They won't even ask it. They know how damaging this is if they even recognize it. A good friend of mine who was there at one of my Jason-born moments and actually was, I mean, one of the guys that I've always thought was the sanest, calmest man I've ever met. Encourage me to do some things to take precautions. And I went, are you kidding me?
Starting point is 01:38:01 and this is a guy who had been around Washington and been around the media a lot and was not a paranoid guy at all. I was shocked when he said this to me. And he said, after he suggested what he did, he said, do you think the movies are all fiction? This stuff is real. It happens. What do you think Watergate was all about? we are so quick to accept things like aliens are flying around our world right now. We're so quick to 13% of the American public now believe that we didn't go to the moon.
Starting point is 01:38:56 That's insanity. And yet when we know politics and billions of dollars are at stake, We refuse to believe that there might be somebody that is monitoring. He text messaged someone in his office. He text messaged, uh, hello. That's on the servers. That's open from somebody inside the building or outside the building. How many people would you trust with documents standing there at the Xerox machine?
Starting point is 01:39:39 copying them. Honestly, if it were me, and I didn't trust the people that I work with, thank God I do, but I didn't know who would see it or where they would be in the building. I would honestly say, take this envelope and just put it into another envelope and send it to me. We're entering a different world, and you're not going to recognize this world. our FBI is compromised. Our government is compromised. And until somebody cleans it up, it's going to remain so.
Starting point is 01:40:25 And they're going to call you a conspiracy theorist and everything else. Well, they're out in the open saying the kinds of things that they will do. They're out in the open. We're dealing with people now that will do. whatever it takes. Pray for people like Tucker Carlson. Our sponsor is Raycon. I don't generally enjoy jamming a pair of bowling balls into my ears, but, you know, it's just not my thing. I mean, I suppose you could do it. But that's what it feels like every time I put on a pair of wireless earbuds in, especially Apple AirPods. They hurt my ears. They're always falling out while I'm trying

Fortunately, since I discovered Raycon Wireless earbuds, I don't have any of those problems while I'm, you know, sweating with the oldies.

Starting point is 01:42:47 of the Joe Biden administration it is quite a list and by the way have you heard the latest on what they're saying now about Amy Coney Barrett that if she doesn't if she sits on the Supreme Court and doesn't recuse herself from the Pennsylvania court case, what court case in Pennsylvania? What are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:43:13 If the Pennsylvania court case goes to her and there's a disagreement in Pennsylvania, if she doesn't recuse herself, the whole thing is illegitimate. Why would she recuse herself? That makes no sense. It makes no sense. None. at all. None whatsoever. Except for the fact that the left wants something. So therefore, they say that's the only thing that can be done. Yes. So what they do all the time. They say when they want something, they say it's constitutional. When they want something else, they say it's unconstitutional. That is their defining characteristic. When they want something, they say listen to the Supreme Court. They just ruled on it because it rules in their favor. And when they don't, they don't like it. It was unjust. and it's wrong and it's got to be changed. It's a safe thing to think about every time they say something,
Starting point is 01:44:06 you shouldn't listen to it. But other than that, they're great. It's really worth your time to listen to their nonsensical arguments. You know, to hear Chuck Schumer go up in front of the Senate and say, like, this is the worst thing we've ever seen. They're forcing this justice through. I can't believe this. After they said 2016, then Merrick Garland couldn't go through.
Starting point is 01:44:27 Well, what did you say in 2016? Because I remember you quite clearly saying it should go through. So now you're disagreeing with yourself. You never agreed to the standard that the Republicans were suggesting back then. You were on the complete opposite side of it. You were saying it was blatantly obvious that a president, they go for four years, not three years. You said these things over and over and over again.
Starting point is 01:44:50 And now you say the exact reverse and act as if no one else heard it. Last night I showed you on television, this amazing thing, how they're saying, you know, because of what the Republicans did with the Supreme Court, with all of the things that they did with Amy Coney-Barritt, it's just illegitimate and we have to pack the court. The problem is they came out and they were saying that and left-wing magazines and left-wing news sites were encouraging them to pack the court as the only way they could get things through if they win in. in the election. And they said the only way to do it is to pack the court. So this was out there, had nothing to do with Amy Coney Barrett.
Starting point is 01:45:37 It's exactly the same with Black Lives Matter. It had nothing to do with George Floyd. Nothing. They had already tried to start these things for years before. Black Lives Matter started in St. Louis. It started with what's his name that was, and it started in the riots in. Michael Brown.
Starting point is 01:46:00 Yeah, Michael Brown. Yeah. It started with that riot and then they tried to do it a few other times and they just waited for the right opportunity. It's the same thing. They waited for Amy Coney Barrett. Yeah. They were pushing this before Ginsburg was even dead. Yep.
Starting point is 01:46:19 I went back to, I was doing something on the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. Yeah. I think last week. And you go back and you look at the counter protest groups, these peaceful protesters. Guess who they were? The Socialists, you know, Workers Party, Antifa, Black Lives Matter. It was all the same groups that are doing it now in city after city after city after city. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 01:46:41 It was the same stuff. You know, like it's shocking that when they're around, things seem to burn to the ground quite frequently. Keep listening to us.

This is the Glenn Beck program. We're five days away from the possible fundamental transformation of the United States. We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America. Jeez.
Starting point is 01:48:43 That was scary then, and we're five days away from it possibly happened. happening now the final chapter. It is important that you talk to your friends that still haven't made up their mind or are sitting on the fence or thinking, I can't vote for either of them. It's really, really important that they vote. They're a vote for the Constitution or a vote for something brand new that we haven't seen. We've seen some of it, and you have to take them seriously. You know, they're saying that they're not going to ban fracking. but they are. In fact, don't listen to me.
Starting point is 01:49:20 Here they are in their own words. First said I oppose fracking. You said it on tape. I did show the tape. I'm talking about stopping fracking as soon as we possibly can. I'm talking about telling the fossil fuel industry that they are going to stop destroying this planet. No ifs, butts, and maybes about it. I'm talking about speaking.
Starting point is 01:49:42 I am not banning fracking. Let me say that again. I am not banning fracking, no matter how many times Donald Trump lies about me. I have a transition from the oil industry, yes. Oh, that's a big statement. It is a big statement. Let me be clear. No matter how many lies, he tells, I am not, not, not banning fracking, period.
Starting point is 01:50:06 What about, say, stopping fracking and stopping new pipeline in infrastructure and ends in it? I'm not banning fracking in Pennsylvania or anywhere else. Would there be any place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking in a Biden administration? No, we would work it out. We would make sure it's eliminated and no more subsidies for either one of those, any fossil fuel. Yeah, okay. So I think we're all clear. There is something going on in America, and it is a wake-up call for many people.
Starting point is 01:50:43 And I think it started with Barack Obama. I think the hope and change that a lot of people, both Republican and Democrats, wanted, was a more transparent government, one that wasn't always bickering, one that could just do their job so we could do our job. Well, that didn't happen. And a lot of people were very upset with Barack Obama. It's why he's not drawing big crowds anymore and he's not, you know, a Greek god. because his real support came from the Marxists, and they wanted the fundamental transformation of America.
Starting point is 01:51:20 He started it, but he didn't go far enough for them. The GOP, they didn't get it. Every time you would elect somebody new, we wanted Hope and Change, too. Every time you'd elect somebody and the Tea Party went out, they would mock the Tea Party, and then they would get the candidate, and they would just bring them in.
Starting point is 01:51:42 to their den of thieves, and they were not responding to the people. That's why Donald Trump is so successful on both sides. People that are, we're voting for Barack Obama, voted and will vote again for Donald Trump, because they see him as the only guy who's actually standing up and at least taking on the political mobs, the media, the, the, the machine. of the GOP and the machine of the DNC. He's willing to do it, and they don't see anybody else doing it. And it is changing people's mind because it is actually changing people's lives,
Starting point is 01:52:26 especially in the African-American community, but all over. I saw this great video series just this weekend. Prager You has done stories of us, and they are so important that each of us share them immediately today. I wanted to get the person that is kind of responsible for some of these, and her new video from Stories of Us is now up at glenbeck.com. She's a manager to Candice Owens and a presenter for Prager, you, and I wondered why I didn't hire her at some point,
Starting point is 01:53:04 and it's because she's also a fitness coach, and we just can't have any of those around here. Gina Bon Tempo is with us now. Hi, Gina, how are you? I'm doing great thanks how are you glad very good so tell me about what stories of us are and why they're important sure um prager you did this fantastic series called stories of us where um you know they just elevated personal stories of people who have realized uh the lunacy of the left um who have come face to face with what the radical left is really trying to accomplish in america
Starting point is 01:53:41 and we have seen the light, so to speak. So it's a series of people who tell their personal stories of how they were once liberal or leftist or maybe even, not necessarily even an Obama voter, but someone who identified as a liberal before. And the veil was sort of pulled back over the last three to four years with the rise of President Trump.
Starting point is 01:54:04 And, you know, there's a shift happening right now. So the series is such a great representation of certain people, including myself, who have really come around and seeing all the ways that the media has been lying to us, all the ways that we have been brainwashed and indoctrinated in higher education. I tell that as part of my story as well. As someone who went to college and graduate school, I left school truly hating America and hating the country that gave me and my family so many opportunities. So this series is really a testament to how people can change their minds once they see the light. I mean, you hated it so much.
Starting point is 01:54:43 You moved. I did. I was on the road for almost three years, Glenn. I was on the road internationally. I said to myself, at the end of 2014, I believe it was 2014. I said to myself, I said, I'm out of here. Maybe it was in 2013. I left.
Starting point is 01:55:01 I went to Australia for a while. I went to South America for a while. I jumped around from Peru to Bolivia to Chile. And, you know, it's funny is that I was in all these different countries. and especially developing countries in South America and seeing how they lived. And actually down the line, what's funny is that all those experiences really helped me understand that the United States of America is truly the best country to live in. And it really brought me back to realize what a blessing it is to even be born in this country.
Starting point is 01:55:28 So besides that, what was it that opened your eyes? What was it that started really making you say, wait, I'm wrong about all of this stuff? I was working as an editor and as a writer for mainstream media publications. A lot of digital publications that were geared towards women. You know, these lifestyle slash news hybrid publications are actually really the machine that's producing the most information that's being released to millennials in Gen Z. And I was working in that industry. And I realized after working full-time in the office day-to-day,
Starting point is 01:56:06 seeing how editors and editorial directors will censor content and how they will frame all of their content depending on clicks, views, because that's exactly how these companies make money, is that the advertisers will buy ads depending on how many clicks and views they get. And I watched day by day in the office how it was almost like a cult. If you were working in this industry, there was just no doubt that you were a leftist, you were liberal. And I actually had a coworker come up to me, this young lady who said, she whispered to me, she said, I am terrified that our boss will find out that I'm a registered Republican. And all these little things bit by bit and seeing how they would censor my own
Starting point is 01:56:48 content, whether it was, whether it had to do with culture and politics or whether it even had to do with health and fitness. And that really started to wake me up. And then early 2017, I watched a full unedited speech of President Trump. And that's, in that second, I said, said to myself, we are being lied to, and that's what it all started to change for me. You actually said or wrote 10 New Year's resolutions for people of color that they have for white people. That's right. I did write.
Starting point is 01:57:22 And it's not. I did write that. Right. But that didn't come from you, right? No, no. This is actually a really interesting point that I like to tell people is that when you're an editor and a writer for these mainstream media publications, what the directors do is they give you a long list of posts and articles that they want you to write, right, because they have very
Starting point is 01:57:43 specific traffic goals that they need to hit every day and every week, every month. And so the list would be, you know, just some of the most radical stuff I've ever seen, like, you know, 10 New Year's resolutions that intersectional feminists have for men everywhere. Ten ways that cultural appropriation hurts everyone, especially minorities. You know, 10 ways that President Trump is causing mental illness in the United States of America. And these are the kinds of things that we were assigned and we were told to write. And really, there was no choice in the matter. You either wrote this or you didn't have a job.
Starting point is 01:58:17 So give me the chicken and the egg. If you're writing this because the editor says to, but the editor is only looking at what people are consuming what they want, who's leading who? That is, that's the question. That's really the question, and that's something that I found myself asking, too. And, you know, the funny thing is once you start to ask these questions in media, once you are a person who works in the industry and you start to just raise some questions to your director or your boss, whoever it might be, you're shut down very quickly.
Starting point is 01:58:51 And I remember asking very specifically, there was one year at the last media company I worked for, they had a ton of layoffs. We weren't hitting traffic goals. They had to lay off a ton of people, and they told us specifically, we're not going to spend any extra money, guys. We need to tighten up on everything. And the next thing I knew, they hired an external team to come in and teach you about unconscious bias and diversity.
Starting point is 01:59:11 And I asked the question, I just posed the question, I thought we were supposed to cut back on unnecessary expenses. And I asked them, I said, how does this unconscious bias workshop directly contribute to revenue growth in our company, directly contribute to ensuring that we don't have more layoffs in the company. And as soon as you start asking these questions, that's when, you know, they either tell you to shut up or leave. How important is this election? And can you believe that you are fighting for the exact opposite side you ever thought you would?
Starting point is 01:59:48 Sometimes I wake up and I have to pinch myself because I did spend, you know, several years in the machine of higher education. And I know that people say this. I feel like people say almost every election, but I do truly believe that this election is the most important that we have seen, because it really is, we're at a crossroads where we're asking ourselves, do we want to preserve America? Do we want to preserve American ideals and values? Or do we want to create destruction and chaos and tear it all down? And a lot of women, a lot of women, especially in the suburbs, believe that that's what Donald Trump brings is just nothing but chaos. They do believe that. that's because of the content that they've been consuming and that the content that's been
Starting point is 02:00:34 shoved down their throats for so many years. And that's really the sad thing. That's why I did the series of Prager You, because I really, I wanted young women especially to understand that we have been lied to so much, especially when it comes to President Trump, who objectively, when you look at his record, when you look at the fact that he was a billionaire who then decided to go into public service and work for free to serve our country, that's when you can really see that President Trump, he is the man who cares about America. He is the man who cares about law and order, and he's the man who's going to preserve American ideals and values. And so that's why I say that this election really is the most important. And now's not the time to back down
Starting point is 02:01:12 or, or, you know, be scared at these threats of being racist or sexist or misogynist, whatever it might be, because at this point, the left is overplaying their hands, right? They're doubling down on the same thing they did four years ago, and I think people are really starting to wake up to it. I hope so, Gina. And thank you for helping that. I watched your video this weekend. I thought it was just tremendous, and I retweeted it. It's Prager You, new series, Stories of Us, people who have been in the system and have spat themselves out because something's not quite right.
Starting point is 02:01:47 I mean, you'll go down a wormhole or a rabbit hole of just watching one after another after another. They're very inspiring. And yours is available now at glenbeck.com. and I ask that you go down that rabbit hole and share as many of these as you possibly can. Thanks, Gina. I appreciate it. Great.
Starting point is 02:02:03 Thanks so much, Glenn. Bye-bye. God bless. So what is it you miss getting out and doing the most? And I don't mean getting out of the house these days. I mean, you know, what do you miss because pain keeps you from doing it? Not Bill de Blasio. Of course, he is a pain, but that's a different thing.
Starting point is 02:02:27 I love to paint. And if you happen to be watching this, I think you know I love to paint. it is a joy that I almost lost. I love to handwrite letters, and it's a joy that I almost lost because my hands were in so much pain all the time. Relief factor changed that. I can paint again. Relief factor is not a drug. Developed by doctors, and 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.
Starting point is 02:02:55 You can order the three-week quick start for only 1995. So what do you have to lose? Time to kick the pain out of your life. right now go to relieffactor.com. 800, 500,883.84. 800, 500, 8384. It's relief factor.com. Hey, tonight, don't miss the Radio Hall of Fame, the broadcast tonight at 7 p.m. Eastern.
Starting point is 02:03:28 I'm being inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. And I'm excited to, I'm thrilled to be associated with it and to be inducted in the Hall of Fame. It's quite an honor. But you can hear it on the IHart radio app. Just search for Radio Hall of Fame. You can also find it at Sirius XM on the Triumph channel. And you can find it on the Blaze Radio Network if you are a Blaze subscriber. So that's tonight.
Starting point is 02:03:56 Really cool. Yeah. Really cool. Yeah. But if the Radio Hall of Fame was traded on the stock market, I think you would see a giant dip in its price. It is weird. I mean, you think starting your career a million years ago when you were, what, 13 years old? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:04:14 Did you ever picture? No. You don't even think about that, though, you know? Yeah, you think about, I mean, obviously, you do spend a lot of time in radio thinking about your success and growing the show. And you don't think of it's weird. I mean, Don Imis is one of the greatest broadcasters of all time in my opinion and an idol. And he's in the Radio Hall of Fame. You don't, when you're there, you don't feel.
Starting point is 02:04:39 It's kind of cheapens it. You're kind of like, oh, well, if I'm in it, it can't be that good. So anyway, that happens tonight. Don't forget our special that we did last night on the first hundred days of the Biden administration. You can find that on YouTube or on Blaze. And this afternoon or this evening, we will be releasing my podcast. I'm about to do it in here in a little while. My podcast, an hour with Dave Rubin.
Starting point is 02:05:09 talking about how serious is the left and what changes people's minds. This is the Glenn Beck program.
