of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. A lot of people were very upset. set on the left. How? I mean, why would Ronda Santis? He just, it's a joke. It's ridiculous that he would go on Twitter and announce his presidency. Really? Really? Um, I have a pretty good comparison

that I'd like to pull out of the history archives and just show you exactly how smart Ronda Santis was on Twitter last night. We'd do that in 60 seconds. First of all, let me tell you about pre-born. You and I have to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. And that is seemingly beginning to be a very large number. It's a good description, of course, for the unborn, and that's where pre-born comes in. I don't think there is anything that we could do that would garner God's protection and God's forgiveness on us more than saving his children. And that doesn't mean just the babies. That means the mothers as well and loving the mothers.

Because of your generosity, Preborn's network of clinics has rescued over 200,000 babies by introducing their mothers through ultrasounds. Preborn receives no government funding. They are completely dependent on you and me. And it's $28 for an ultrasound. They offer them to these women who are considering abortion. They offer them for free. It's about an 80% chance that mom changes her mind. That's amazing.

And it is life-saving work, and it goes on after the birth as well. They take care of mom and the baby. This is the work that we should all be involved in. Preborn.com slash back. You can go there and find out more about it. You could also make a donation, if you would. $28 could save a baby. Make a donation now.

Ron DeSanis got a little taste of that. Yeah, he did.

That was fun. I got a little taste of it too because, you know, I don't have a phone. I mean, I have a phone, but I never use it. I had to go look for the phone last night because the platform is not available for iPads. Really? Yeah. So I couldn't get it. I had to go find my phone and then try to find platforms.

And I'm, look, I am not a spring shaking here. Right. We, you know, I started to take. tech company? And I have no idea how to use this tech. No, you do not. You do not. And I wear it as a badge of honor, quite honestly, that I don't have a phone. There was about 20 minutes there where it didn't seem like Elon Musk knew how to use it either. Yeah, it was, it was kind of really, really bad for DeSantis in a way. I mean, I joke about it. No one remembers this if DeSantis does well. Right. Like, this is, you know, it's the same thing. Nobody's going to remember this anyway. Yeah. They're going to

remember him. We have a second attention span. They're going to remember him. They're going to remember him as the first guy to ever use social media to announce a presidency and go directly to the people and not to either a crowd covered by mainstream media and take questions from those people on day one. In a live event. I mean, live. There's not a lot of people who announce in an event where they take questions at all.

Right. Right. I mean, that's not usually what you do. you, it's very, very planned. You roll it out perfectly, and that didn't happen last night. You see the reason why that doesn't happen, right? A 20-minute tech delay is one of the reasons why. People don't do it that way.

But again, who cares at the end of the day? It's a minor blip on the radar. I mean, they had hundreds of millions of dollars poured into Obamacare and years to prepare, and they launched the site and it didn't work for weeks. Well, it's working as well. It's working as well as the, uh, the, uh, the, electric buses that schools are getting all over the country. Exactly.

Okay. So let me just say this about DeSantis and what he just did. I think this was a brilliant move. Elon Musk is not a Republican. I'm not even sure if he's a conservative, but he believes in the Bill of Rights, at least so far. I mean, he describes himself as a moderate. I mean, how many conservatives do you know that describe themselves as moderates? Yeah.

Very few. Very few. And Elon Musk is exactly the kind of guy that you need to be able to expand the base. You have to take the base from conservatives and get the independence and also get the youth. Here is, do you remember what, let me pull this out of the history vault, do you remember what? what the genius move was by Bill Clinton. Arsenio Hall. Arsenio Hall.

Yes, I remember that. Arsenio Hall and MTV. And he was the first president to go on MTV. He was asked about boxers or briefs. And I remember at the time, we're like, you're asking the president, what? And of course, the left loved it.

Oh, my gosh. Why did they love it? because he was going to the new tech. He was going to the younger base for the first time. Bob Dole wasn't going on MTV. He wasn't going on Arsenio Hall. And he went on Arsenio Hall and what did he do? He played his saxophone.

This is the Arsenio Hall or the MTV moment. And it's a conservative that is doing it. It is a conservative that is getting rid of this is the exact. This is what conservatives should be. Conservatives are supposed to be the guardians of all of the things in our society that are traditional and have value. Progressives are the ones that are supposed to be looking towards the future. Okay. You need both sides because it is.

if you just jettison all of the things that are good in a society, you get America 2023. We are jettisoning everything that is good. There's some things that should be thrown out. Here is a conservative saying, you know, the mainstream media is not needed anymore. I don't need to talk to both sides when it come to the media. I'll talk directly to the people. You know, he's the really, I think, the first politician that just ignores the mainstream media.

He's not trying to get in with anybody. He doesn't, you know, he's not like, oh, maybe this time the New York Times is going to be nice to me. He's just like, screw you. I don't need you. That's a massive shift. And if it works, that is the end of the network system and the big media. Because if it works and he becomes the president of the United States, I don't think he's calling on them. It'd be nice.

Kick him out of the front row for once. You know, it was interesting watching the coverage of this thing last night. I mean, let me give you some of the just, it's all snark. This is just from the New York Times reporters. Like, listen to some of these points that they made during the Twitter spaces conversation. DeSantis is a no on central bank digital currency for the Americans wondering about that. That's Jonathan Wiseman. A lot of Americans are wondering about that.

And like, I will admit, and I think it's true, that the American people generally are not talking about a central bank digital currency. No, but anyone who is informed. Yeah. And you know who is? people who are definitely voting in the Republican primary, right? That's who he's speaking to. He wants people who might vote in the Republican primary to know he's on top of these issues, right? This whole audience here, Glenn Beck Program, knows a lot about it.

You talk about it all the time. And a lot of times, this is where these stories start, right? They start as something that, you know, you bring up and we talk about for a while and no one knows what it is. I mean, common core, you know. Common core, which was nobody was talking about. It's a conspiracy theory. Oh, turns out. to be true and you have ESG in the Great Reset. It's a conspiracy theory. It's not happening. Oh,

it's true. It doesn't matter. Done. Everything over and over and over again. And now they're doing it with cryptocurrency. Yeah. That was another one they talked about in here. If you're wondering how this event is going, now they're talking about Bitcoin. This is the coverage from New York Times reporters that are supposed to be telling you the facts about what's going on. could go on for hours here, SAC says, in what is hopefully not a warning. Oh my gosh. It's incredible. Like, it was all, uh, so would not have had debanking on my DeSantis presidential campaign kickoff bingo card.

Like, what, what is this? Is this coverage? Dana Lash, a major gun rights activist is speaking about the activist guided financial institutions and ESG investing. A little niche. A little niche. I mean, I'm not. These are basically all in a row from these reporters. I'm not even cherry picking here.

DeSantis denounces the accreditation cartels, which I'm guessing is the first time that phrase has been used in a presidential announcement. These are really important issues. They're just mocking them. I think half of them have no idea what they are. This is the New York Times. This is not some, you know, some left, this is not some bunch of left-wing bloggers supposedly,

but you know what? Maybe they are. You know, I have to tell you, you're going to love the show. If you're with Stu's mindset today, because we've apparently done some sort of Vulcan mind meld today because we're on exactly the same page. And I think there is time to revive the scientific method.

And I'm going to take you through that. It's really time to start using the scientific method because you will see how, wrong they are and why everything is falling apart now in America. I also am going to go in quite deep next hour with the Hunter Biden. Did you see the Hunter Biden whistleblower from Monday? It's amazing. I can't believe that's happening.

Yeah. So this is a new whistleblower from the IRS. CBS News, the evening news, the evening. News did like three and a half minutes on it. They haven't even mentioned Hunter Biden. They did three and a half minutes and this guy, CBS presented him as credible, presented it as a big deal. And it is, this could be the thing that makes all of it come undone because this involves the DOJ. The IRS is saying the whistleblower at the IRS said, I can't, I just couldn't live with myself

anymore. He said every time we would start doing our job, the DOJ would come in and say, you've got to do this. And it would always fall in favor of the suspect. He couldn't say it was Hunter Biden. He said, of the suspect that we were investigating every single time. He said, they finally, he said, I had a red line in me, and he said, they crossed it. And I said, I'm done. I'm done. This is corruption now. And this thing could take the entire administration down.

You know, we said this before. This is the type of weird thing. It's the type of weird story that no one pays attention to when it happens, but could wind up blowing up an entire administration. Because you know what? We talked about the press conference that they had with the committee, and it was like, okay, here's the flow chart and here's the banking records and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Here's the easy thing.

You can summarize it for everybody and everybody understands it. You don't fire people that are investigating your son, right? It's so blatantly obvious. Well, why? He got away with it in Ukraine. He got the prosecutor fired and. Everyone cheered. I know, but this is different.

The prosecutor in Ukraine, people don't understanders. This is a story where, like, it's his own son. He controls the people who were investigating them, and he fired everyone responsible for it. I mean, that is, it's so clear to everyone that that is wrong. I know. And it's not the worst thing he's ever done. He's done much worse stuff than that.

But it's so clear to everyone, you can explain it in one sentence. I mean, I bet they're scared of this one. If it played out the way it seems like it did. So Ron DeSantis is joining us in just a few minutes. I want to talk to him about the economy. I want to talk to him about the deep state and all of this stuff. When I show you next hour, what is coming down the pike? The Democrats have coming against them.

It's shocking the corruption that is happening. that will do next hour. Ron DeSantis joins us in just a couple of minutes. Stand by first. Let me tell you about rough greens. How often do you find yourself just going through the motions when it comes to feeding your dog? Bowl is empty. Grab the old bag of kibble and just fill her up, right?

But is that healthy for your dog? You can be buying really good kibble, but everything that is in a kibble bag has to be sterilized to the point to where it can sit on a grocer's shelf for two years. There ain't anything alive in that. So Rough Greens puts all of that stuff that's been cooked out back into your kibble food. Rough greens, full of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants. Your dogs love it. At least my dog does.

Everybody I know who has a dog who has tried this, they say the same thing. My gosh, my dog just wolfs this stuff down. It's not a dog food. It's a supplement you put on your kibble food. You'll get your first bag free. All you pay for is shipping. Just go to Rough Greens, RUFFGreens.com slash Beck. Or call 833, Glenn 33.

That's RUFFFF Greens.com slash Beck. Roughgreens.com slash Beck, 833, Glenn 33. 10 seconds, station ID. Now, let's not kid ourselves if you are, we're excited about Ronda Santas yesterday. he has a lot of work in front of him to get past Donald Trump in the primary. Oh, yeah. Every poll shows that he is way behind Donald Trump.

The polls aren't all that important right now. I mean, he's just announced yesterday, and it's important to keep that in mind. But Donald Trump has proven to be a very good campaigner, especially against Republicans. Yeah, and, you know, just fundamentally, the guy is the former president of the United States. Yeah. He enters this race as the overwhelming favorite. Overwhelming. I mean, he comes in with, what's the floor for Donald Trump in a state?

35%. If you're starting at 35% in a field of what is going to be probably 20 people, you have a really good chance of winning. Oh, yeah. It's going to be really, really hard to defeat Donald Trump in this primary. And if he loses, you know, it's his to lose. it that way. I agree. He can lose this thing. But like, if you were to say this, Glenn, if you were going to do a draft pick here and pick the best month of campaigning that Donald Trump ever put together, I would argue the first pick of that draft is the last month of the 2016 election

cycle where he had the tape, the access Hollywood tape, and then he was like, holy crap, I better button myself up and not make any mistakes. And he, that last month, he was solid. And he won that election. If he ran this primary like that month, he would have no chance of losing. So this is what I'm saying. It is his to lose. He can easily lose it if he's sloppy, if he makes mistakes, if others are able to cite his weaknesses, it would be hard for Ron DeSantis to overcome that. But, you know, look, we know Donald Trump has not had every month like that. And so he is vulnerable. He can lose. But man, he can't people, I think look at this. like, oh, it's DeSantis versus Trump, and it is in some ways because no one else seems to have a chance.

You remember what the Democrats did with Bernie Sanders? They cleared the field. They cleared the field. Everybody off. So they could get the candidate they wanted because they were bifurcating all of the vote. And we're walking in with about 20 people. And that could bifurcate. It will bifurcate the vote. Now, how long does that go on? if you have people that are hanging on till the bitter end, you could hurt DeSantis. You could hurt Trump. And remember, the media cycle itself is a wholly owned subsidiary of Donald Trump. He runs it.

Whatever he says is the media cycle. If he says something controversial, Ron DeSantis will spend the rest of his day answering for whatever Donald Trump said. Yeah. It is all, he controls this media cycle. And that is such an incredible advantage. So, I mean, it's going to be difficult for DeSantis. The poll numbers stand at 56 Trump, DeSantis, 25. However, if you go head to head with Biden, it shows a different story.

In the general election, Biden, I don't believe. just don't believe this. But Biden still beats Trump 48 to 46. Two percent point margin, unchanged since the last time Quinnipiac did the poll. Meanwhile, DeSantis narrowly edges out Biden, 47 to 46 in the general, and that is up. Again, when you have a poll this early general election, there's very little value of it. I will say this. You know, DeSantis could go way up from that or way down from that. That 48 number for Biden in a Trump Biden campaign is pretty solid. It's not going to move much from 47, 48%. Obviously, you can win when your opponent has 47 or 48%. But the window is small. Desantis could do much better than that, but also could do much worse. He hasn't been tested

here. We're about to see, he's about to jump into that fire as he did last night. And it's going to be an amazing next year of this as he jumps into our skillet. There we go. Next. Next.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Governor Ron DeSantis from Florida announced yesterday. He is formally announced that he is running for president of the United States. And so it begins.

And it's going to be an interesting 18 months. Welcome to the program. Governor DeSantis, how are you, sir? I'm doing great, Glenn. Thanks for having me. How are you? I'm good. I'm good.

Enjoyed it in not the first 20 minutes. That must have been incredibly frustrating for you with the technical problems. but it was the largest audience gathered on Twitter. Yeah, I mean, I was just kind of sitting in Telassi. I didn't really know what was going on because they Twitter handled all of that. And they were just getting so many people above and beyond what they've ever gotten that I think it kind of melted the servers, but they were able to correct it.

And we were able to do an announcement that I think, you know, obviously I laid out the case at the beginning for five or six minutes. but then we were able to talk about action. And I think it's now up to 8 or 9 million people have viewed it across some of the platforms that have featured it. And obviously, when Elon's involved, you get a lot of buzz out of it. So we're getting huge feedback and raising money and doing all that, which is great. We were talking earlier today, Stu and I, about this choice, that you have always had this approach where you don't care what the New York Times says. You're not sitting down trying to get a puff piece out of the,

New York Times. You know you're not going to get one, so you just ignore them. And I think that's really, really smart, but very different. This too, I think, is going to be remembered as the Clinton MTV or Arsenio Hall program. This is really smart to do. Does this, is this assigned the end of the mainstream media, going right straight to people? Well, I think what Elon's done is he's opened up Twitter. I mean, the social network when they first came on the scene had a lot of potential because we could go around legacy media and we could converse with ourselves. And that was a big threat to them.

And so they really helped lobby companies like Facebook to start censoring. And then it got to the point where not only were they tried to enforce a narrative, the tech companies were colluding with federal agencies like the FBI and the CDC to censor and stifled dissent. And so Elon, I think, has put his money where his mouth is. gotten one of those platforms and opened it up. So I think open platforms are good for conservatives because it allows us to go around the filter. But I do think we have a huge battle on our hands about tech censorship writ large. What Elon's done is great, but how many people are worth

$250 billion or they could afford to just put $54 billion down to buy a social platform? And so tech censorship, I think, is going to continue to be an issue. I think we've not dealt that in Florida we're going to do more as president, of course, to make sure that the First Amendment actually means something because you can't let the government subcontract out censorship to Silicon Valley and say you still have a First Amendment. Okay, so let me talk to you about the government, FBI, DOJ, IRS, NSA, CIA, ATF, everything, even the Capitol Police now are an intelligence gathering agency. how do you even run a campaign when you know the all of government approach to the last election? How do you, if you win, how do you dismantle this?

Because it's almost like a unplug it and plug it back in and reset it to factory settings. I mean, it's cleaning house. A fundamental problem. So we will look at like an example of weaponization. which is obviously many examples. But that's kind of the end point. Like, why are we here? And the reason that we're here is because we have these agencies that have been detached from constitutional accountability.

There was never supposed to be a fourth branch of government, but Congress has not held them accountable with the power of the purse or with legislating more precisely. And presidents have not been willing to wield Article 2 power to discipline the bureaucracy. So I think I'll come in and on day one, we'll be spitting nails. I understand and all your listeners should understand that if we do everything right, if we're disciplined, if we're strong as anyone could be, it still takes a two-term project. I think it takes eight years to be able to reconstitutionalize this government.

But the question it raises is do we govern ourselves or do we not? Because right now, the most significant issues tend not to be resolved by our elected representatives. is they're done by these bureaucrats and through these agencies. And so it's really, I think, a crisis. What you have with lack of accountability, you just have a consolidation of power amongst people that all have the same worldview. And so their worldview is different than our worldview, and they view people like us as factions that they want to exert power over.

And so the weaponization, I think, flows from human nature. So what would I do, you know, day one? First of all, I already said new FBI director day one. That is a no-brainer. You've got to do that. I'll have an attorney general that has a backbone, an attorney general that recognizes if you are doing your job properly, you are going to be pilloried by the Washington Post and the New York Times and CNN.

And so if that's not something that you're comfortable with, then don't even apply for this job. Understand you're going into the Lions then. these people do not want to give up this power willingly, and so they're going to smear you, they're going to attack you. So I think getting the person, if you can't do that, then it's just not going to work at all. Second thing, I think, is you've got to be willing to use Article 2 to extend. The idea that some FBI agent can collude with a tech company to censor like Hunter Biden, you should be firing these people. You have the authority to do it. Yes, it'll be contested.

they'll sue you. But who gets the Article 2 power, the person that wins the electoral college or some middle managing bureaucrat in the IRS, asserting that authority, making sure that you have political control over those agencies. That is a huge battle. It's something you've got to be disciplined about. It's something you've got to be strategic about. And it's not something that anyone's really tried to do because, I mean, it's like trench warfare. And you've got to be ready on day one. And we will, And incidentally, you know, a step or two below that across all these agencies. And I think you need to have thousands of people ready to go. So are you –

You know, one of the things that really bothers me about the Republicans is the Democrats were gaming and putting everything into, you know, the Obama bill. When he walked in, that thing was 2,000 pages long. They had worked on that for years. Are you assembling teams and talking about what to do and so you could just launch if you would win? Absolutely. And so conservative organizations who are already collecting resumes from people around the country. And I will have a message if I'm in Nevada. I'm going to say, look, some of you who are in this audience, you may need to pick up your family and move to Washington, D.C. for two, four, six years.

because you can't just recycle everybody from D.C. It's not going to change if that's the case. And so you really need to have most of these people descending on D.C. From outside the country, what we're also going to do is I'll issue a directive to all these agencies that they need to reduce the footprint of their agencies in D.C. by at least 50%. Oh, my gosh. Because I think what's happened is, you know, the government, the size of it is one thing, of course, but the consolidation, I think, has been totally toxic.

You know, you have a place in Washington, D.C. It votes 95% Democrat. I think Trump got 4% or 5% of the vote in 2020. And so this is totally not representative of the public as a whole. And I think the founders would look at that, and I think they would see that that is a huge, huge problem. So it's reducing the government overall. But whatever government you have, we want less consolidation in D.C. think that that will make a difference. So, Governor, the one thing that Donald Trump will have

going for him in spades is the economy. People will trust him on the economy. He's already done it once. He's known as a businessman. What are you bringing to the table to this all-out war on the American dream? Corporations have been weaponized, red tape, all of the stuff that's going on. you'll have the Fed against you, the big banks. How do you change the economy? Well, look, I would I would just say push back a little bit. I mean, I think he did great for three years, but when he turned the country over to Fauci in March of 2020, that destroyed millions of people's lives. And in Florida, we were one of the few that stood up, cut against the grain, took incoming fire from media, bureaucracy, the left, even a lot of Republicans, had schools,

open, preserve businesses. And so Florida, since COVID, has outperformed virtually any state in the country when you look at all these significant metrics. I mean, we're booming. We've got people moving in here. Wealth is coming in here. And so I think when people look back, you know, that 2020 year was not a good year for the country as a whole. It was a situation where Florida started to stand alone. So I think that that's important contrast. Now, going forward, yes, you rip up what Biden's done on day one with things like energy. They are trying to price middle class people out of having a middle class standard of living. We're not going to force people to buy electric vehicles. We're going to make sure that people have a choice to have affordable transportation.

We absolutely reduce federal spending. We're going to fight with the Congress on that. I mean, I think the debt has gone up under both Republican and Democrat. I mean, we act like it's just Biden. and went up $8 trillion the debt under Trump as well. And so we've got to stop doing that. That is absolutely driven the inflation since March of 2020 with all the borrowing and spending. I also think we need to have the Federal Reserve focus on stable money and stop trying to be the economic central planner. You look at how much money they've printed since COVID. Of course you're going to get inflation when that happens.

So you need a major overhaul with the Federal Reserve. And so, and then, yes, fighting woke capital, woke capital is absolutely bad for the average American because they're pursuing an ideological agenda to achieve ideological left-wing goals that are going to make it harder for the average American family to make ends meet. May I ask you a question? First of all, we are doing sit downs with each candidate. You've already done one, but as governor not, as a candidate. Will you sit down and just talk about your policies with me?

Oh, yeah, of course. Absolutely. Would you be for a debate or a roundtable hosted by, for instance, us that would not necessarily get the backing of the Republicans? I think the Republican Party controls these debates so much, and we keep going back to the mainstream media. And I don't understand why. You guys should absolutely do a debate, and the RNC should sanction it.

I mean, here's the thing, Glenn, with corporate media. Some will say, because I say they shouldn't be involved in our process because they're hostile to us as Republicans. They have a partisan agenda, which is fine. it's a free country. And people say, oh, well, you just don't want them to ask Republicans tough questions. No, their gotcha questions are not tough questions. Their questions are designed to further a narrative.

Correct. Their questions, though, are not illuminating to Republican primary voters because they're not one of us. And so when you have people who live in kind of our world, you are going to be asking the tougher questions. They're not going to be gotcha questions, but they're going to be substantive and they're going to require candidates to actually go beneath a talking point to talk about their vision for the country on these various issues. And so I think you guys should do it. I'd love to be a part of it, but I absolutely think the RNC should sanction it because you've seen what happened in 2015 or 16 with some of those debates. It was a mockery what these legacy media outs are doing. And their whole goal is to try

to make the Republican candidates look as ridiculous as. possible. They do not want us to be to look like, you know, we're serious people. They want to be able to plow the field to get Biden reelected. So we know that that's their agenda. So why would you want to give them a platform to be able to be involved in our process? I could tell you in Florida, we had four congressional seats that were open seats. Republicans ended up winning, and there were primaries in all of them. We sanctioned debates with the state party, and we had conservative journalists and moderators doing debates and guess what? They were great.

Sub people actually care about in our party. We're discussed. Well, I will tell you that as we took a stand for Harmeet Dylan, we didn't make any friends at the GOP national level. But thank you so much for coming on. Congratulations on the rollout yesterday.

My just initial thoughts, rock solid. Yeah, this is a guy who deserves to be taken seriously and deserves to be in this conversation. He does not avoid hard questions. I loved his answer about the debates.

Ask not gotcha questions, but hard questions. Yeah. I think that's fantastic. Yeah. He's smart. He knows these issues. And look, his record in Florida deserves, you know, this type of attention. This show went national because we were.

in Florida during the election, during the hanging Chads. Yeah. And how much did he win that district? Oh, I don't remember the district, but he won the state by, what, 537 votes. Oh, yeah, but I think in Palm Beach County, I think he creamed Chris. Oh, you're talking about now with DeSantis. I mean, yeah, he was a guy. We started the show talking about hanging Chads in Florida, and then DeSantis just won the state by 20 points.

All right, Stu. So I've got a few questions. Speaking to CBS News, the IRS whistleblower revealed himself. Now, this just happened. This is a new guy since Monday. Okay. Has revealed himself as a supervisory special agent, Gary Shapley. He is part of the IRS's criminal investigations department. He is a 14-year veteran at the agency and currently oversees a 12-man team that specializes in international tax and financial crimes. He told CBS News that he began documenting his concerns about the Hunter Biden investigation in June 2020, five months after being assigned the sensitive investigation.

There were multiple steps that kept being slow walked. They were just completely not done, and it was happening at the direction of the Department of Justice. When I took control of this particular investigation, I immediately saw deviations from the normal process. It was way outside the norm of what I've experienced in the past. So this is his first interview. He sits down with CBS and, uh, They take him seriously and treat him seriously. He said each and every time it seemed to always benefit the subject.

And I got to the point where that switch was turned on with me and I couldn't stay silent anymore. So we now know we have the IRS, along with the Department of Justice, doing all kinds of things that they shouldn't be doing. on the Hunter Biden front. But it's not just Hunter Biden. IRS investigation into Matt Taibi. Here's the latest on that. On Wednesday, yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee sent a letter to the IRS commissioner demanding all documents and communications related to the agency's decision

to launch an investigation into Matt Taibi. Now, who's Matt Taibi? Matt Taibi is a journalist. He's always been kind of a left kind of guy, wouldn't you say? Yeah, I think that's fair. And he has, you know, been red-pilled. And he's not a conservative. He's just telling the truth.

And he's being a journalist. He is the guy that really tried to make sense of the Twitter files. He was one of the leaders on that. According to the letter, the IRS's inquiry was initiated December 24th, 2022. That is the same day that Taibi released the report detailing the collusion between Twitter and the federal government. Subtle, guys. Yeah, very subtle. Well, it was not only on the same day.

It was December 24th. so it was Christmas Eve. I don't know about you. There are not a lot of work going on on Christmas Eve, but the IRS are busting their ass, okay? December 24th. And it was a Saturday. So somebody was burning the midnight.

It might have been Bob Cratchett because he was afraid and he wanted the extra scuttle of coal from the IRS. So the documents passed on to Twitter by the FBI led foreign. Influence Task Force, Taibi revealed Twitter was receiving content recommendations, blah, blah, blah. Joe Biden and the energy company Burisma, the report also showed that Twitter, along with Facebook, and dozens of other tech-related firms regularly attended FITF-led gatherings where companies often received an OGA briefing. What is an OJA briefing? That is a euphemism for intelligence services in general.

in particular the CIA. So the IRS has said, yes, we sent the letter on the 24th. Okay. And that was nine days after he filed his 2018 tax return. But they said we called him over and over again to verify his return because it meant identity theft criteria and we couldn't process it. nine days after they get this return to them, nine days on Christmas Eve, on a Saturday,

the IRS is like, we just can't wait any longer. We just, we can't do it. We've got to process this because we're concerned about him. This, this IRS form looks like it might have been identity theft. So he says they never reached out to call them,

uh, to call. They said, we did it twice. And then we just had to send agents over to... These guys are bending over backwards. It's really nice to them to spend all that individual time on one person like that. Very nice. Now, the tactics in which they used, apparently now we know,

to dig up any dirt they could find on Taibi, the agent assigned from the IRS was instructed to perform an extensive investigation, which include using publicly available search engines, commercial investigative software, consumer affairs, Lexis, Nexus, and Google. The documents provided to the committee also purportedly show the agency kept a dossier on Taibi, including information such as his phone number,

voter registration records, whether he had a concealed weapons permit, and whether he had hunting or fishing licenses. I don't know. that seems like maybe they weren't concerned by identity fraud. So you have now two cases of the IRS just today that I can report on. Now, the FBI has just demanded answers from, or sorry, the Republicans have just demanded answers from the FBI on the January 6 pipe bomb,

investigation. Andy Biggs, Jim Jordan, and Bill Posey wrote to the FBI and Director Ray saying, we have been asking for an update on the pipe bomber. We have witnesses or we have whistleblowers that are saying, you ain't doing jack on this. In fact, the whistleblower testimony on the investigation on the unusual character, including one disclosure that revealed that the Washington field office asked the FBI field offices to canvas all confidential human source nationwide for information about the individual that might have put the pipe bomb out a year after they laid the bomb. Now, you would think that this would be something they were all on top of. But they waited a year.

Still no motive. Still nothing. A former FBI assistant director said they should have yielded some results by this point. But gosh darn it, they just can't find it. Now, couple it with this last story. And tell me you've seen anything like these stories. so far. Okay, I've seen people in the Tea Party

targeted during the Obama administration. Before that, I had never seen it before in my life. Okay? So I had seen that. Got it. I have not seen the Justice Department go in and stop an investigation by the IRS.

That's totally new. I have not seen anything like what the FBI has been doing lately. And the pipe bomb, and the January 6th, and they can't find the people who are burning churches, but gosh, darn it, they can find those peoples that have violated the Face Act. Now this one. The alleged neo-Nazi accused of ramming a rented U-Haul truck into the White House security

barriers being held in federal jail pending a detention hearing next week. Sai Candula, 19, not an American citizen, I believe from India. He appeared in federal court yesterday. He is from Missouri. If you don't know this story, it is bizarre. He slammed a box truck. Now, a box truck, it was either a writer or a U-Haul, and clearly marked it's a moving truck.

Now, when I think of somebody going after a federal building in a moving truck, in a moving truck, especially with the information that the FBI knows that 60,000 tons of ammonium nitrate have just disappeared from the railway. Have you heard that story? 60,000 tons, it's on the loose. and somebody pulls a giant U-Haul van and is trying to break through the fences of the White House and get close to the White House.

As a police officer, investigator, secret service, what is your first thought? There's fertilizer in the back of that U-Haul truck. Okay? When I saw the U-Wall truck, that was the first thing I thought of was Timothy McVeigh. Okay? and I know that 60,000 tons of that fertilizer has just gone missing.

Okay, so he slammed it into the barriers along Lafayette Square. He allegedly has planned this attack for six months. We know because of his writing has been released. Can't get anything from Nashville, but this guy, he had to get to the White House, seize power, and be put in charge of the nation. So immediately, I think the guy has mental problems. He was accused of threatening, accused of threatening to kill the president if that's what I have to do. He praised Hitler and Nazism.

He is not a white guy. He was originally charged with threatening to kill, kidnap, or inflict harm on the president, vice president, or family members, as well as an assault with a dangerous weapon, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, trespassing, and destruction of federal property. That's what he was charged with. Does all of that make sense so far?

I can't place the Nazi flag. And the other thing that bothered me was the fact that, if I am in charge of the White House and I have access to all of this information, if Glenn Beck knows that 60,000 tons of ammonium nitrate is missing, and I see that rider truck or that U-Haul truck, I immediately say, get the hell away from that truck, back everybody out, get everyone out of Lafayette Square. Now, we have seen pictures of what happened.

next because they only backed people up a little bit. And this is where it really gets hinky. We'll talk about it in 60 seconds. First, when do you think Mike Lindell is done? He goes on, comes up with something else better. I am wearing his slippers. I have, I bought a pair that looked like moccasins because I think I can, I think I can get away with it. You pull it off?

I can pull it off wearing slippers all the time. these things are so comfortable, so comfortable. If you haven't tried them, you need to. Now, they not only are great and everything else, they usually go for, I don't know, a lot of bucks. But he's got them on sale. I think they're still on sale. I know he's going for the towel set, which I use this morning.

He's going for the towel set, blah, blah, blah. You can get $25 bucks, a six towel set. but if you haven't gotten the sneakers yet, if they're still on sale, you need to get those. You'll find out all of the sales, all the deals they have going on. MyPillow.com.

10 seconds. Station ID. So my first question. is the park police that are guarding Lafayette Square and the Secret Service at the White House, everybody involved in protecting the White House, they see this truck, they got a guy who's pulled out a Nazi flag out of his backpack, they put him to the ground, then they display the Nazi flag. Never seen that before. They lay it out nicely on the ground because they've only backed the people up a little bit so people are taking pictures of it. Then what? What do you think would be done with that truck? I would think you would call the bomb squad. And you would say, get to the White House. We have a truck.

There may be a bomb in it. And you would have video of that little robot coming to open that door, right? And you probably wouldn't have video except from the robot because you would have moved people out at least a block away. They didn't do that. Instead, they just open up the door. And then they start rifling through stuff and taking stuff out and putting it out almost like you do when you, you know, you've confiscated drugs. So the media can come in and take pictures of it. They lay it out.

I've never seen that before. Never seen that before. Okay. So we either have out of control police that are working for those. safety of our president who should not be there because what the hell are you doing? Why are you? Where was the bomb squad? But then it gets really weird.

Yesterday, the DOJ takes his charges, remember, charged with threatening to kill, kidnap, or inflict harm on a president, vice president or family member, as well. is assault with a dangerous weapon, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, trespassing and destruction of federal property, he planned it for six months. They downgraded his federal charges to a single count of destruction of federal property. Can somebody help me with that? They have been trying to put people who are trying to, who are extremists, white nationalists, they say, extremists, here's a guy, he's not white, but he has a Nazi flag. He loves Hitler.

He said he's going to kill the president. He actually takes a truck and tries to get it close to the White House. And you're only charging him? Didn't you put grandma in prison for the rest of her life for parading? You're going to charge him with destruction of property? Now, I'm not alleging anything because it could just be, this is a POC thing. Oh, he's a person of color. He's a minority. He shouldn't be charged.

I don't know. It could be that everybody in Washington is on drugs. They're zombie robots. I don't know. But this isn't right. Something is wrong. And I think all of these stories tie in to the same thing. The same thing.

You cannot have a justice system and Capitol Police who have been weaponized, who had this guy planning for six months to kill the president and they let him go on a destruction of property crime. When you're putting everyone in jail that you can find

claiming they're a white supremacist, you can't have it both ways. What the hell is going on? I hope to have Jim Jordan or Andy Biggs on with us soon to help us answer some of these questions, or at least hear the questions that they are asking about it. Things are, I think, about to come completely undone. Stand by. The Glenn Beck Program.

I'm going to teach the scientific method. next. It's very complex. Do that next. Show you how to look at the news. Real estate agents, I trust. This may come as a shock to you. I'm not an expert on everything, but I am a doctor. For the love of Pete, Jim, I'm a doctor. There are some areas of my life I am completely clueless about, and one of those used to be how to buy and sell homes. No idea. You look at a bus board or a bus bench and you're like, that real estate ad says they're the best in the city. I got to call them. Well, that's not what you do.

You actually have to have somebody who has a real plan to sell your home, who has a website that is really trafficked. So they already have built up demand. So when your house goes up on that website, there are people looking for a house like yours already. Best practices of what we look for for agents. that we can tell you about. Real estate agents.itrust.com. The name says it all. Real estate agents I trust.com. We think they're the best of the very best. If you're looking to move, buy, sell, real estate agents, I trust.com.

Let's not be hasty. Let's not move too fast. It requires a balance between a conservative and a liberal, not a progressive. Progressives are some entirely different thing.

A liberal is somebody who is a little more, hey, let's push the envelope here. Let's go. You need both sides to be able to thrive as a human, as a company, as a country. There are two wings of a bird. If it only has one wing, it will not fly. Okay. So let's conserve something. It's already been destroyed, but let's see if we can bring it back.

And it is called the scientific method. Now, it's kind of a new concept. It just started in the 1600s. And it looks for empirical evidence. It looks for things that are true. Well, who's truth? Well, this is how we find out the truth. This is a procedure that consists in systematic observation, measurement, and

experiment and then the formulation of a hypothesis so i think glen is too fat that's my hypothesis he's very unhealthy that's my hypothesis all right glen let me measure how tall you are now step on the scale holy mother i think my hypothesis is correct. Glenn, get on that treadmill. Forty-five seconds into it. My God, man, it's a shock you're even alive. My hypothesis is correct. My hypothesis also, he's not only fat out of shape, but he's also a male. Glenn, pull down your pants. Jeez, pull him up, please, quickly. He's a male. That's how the scientific method works.

Now, if something says, you know, I step on the scale and I'm filled with helium and I'm like 112 pounds, then the scientist goes, holy cow, that doesn't match. My hypothesis is that he's fat and

overweight. But he looks overweight, but he weighs 112 pounds. The guy looks like he's 450 pounds. This is how it works. And when it comes back that way, then you have to change your hypothesis. Okay. Otherwise, if you keep going with all of the facts disproving your hypothesis, you're not scientific.

You don't have any brain. You know what you are? Part of a cult or a religious cult because you are denying the scientific fact. All right. So let's go through some of this. Using the scientific method, let's see who's lying to us. Hillary Clinton has come out and said, Ultra MAGA Florida isn't safe for people of color and LGBTQ plus, even Disney.

Okay, well, that's quite a charge, and I would like to know if it's not safe for black people, then I am really upset about it. So let's start gathering some evidence. Her hypothesis is Florida is not safe for people of color. Great. Let's look at some of the facts. the head of the NAACP has a home there. Okay, well now, wait a minute.

Maybe he's not there and he just bought a home when it was safe. Okay. The stat show that Florida is the leading state for black businesses and black entrepreneurs. Well, that's weird. Here's another one, that they're banning. black history. That's why it's so unsafe. They're banning black history. No, they're going after things like the 1619 project, which by its own admission is not history. It's a reimagining of history. So so far, her hypothesis is not going well. Well, they're, they just, they just

banned another book. Amanda Gorman's poem that was used at Biden's inauguration has been banned in a Florida school. Associated Press, LA Times, USA Today, MSNBC, Rolling Stone Politico. Is that true? No. A parent filed a complaint about the hill we climb and it's, uh, and the school K through eight in Miami Lakes took action in response to that complaint. What did they do? Well, they got together not with some crazy parent, but with teachers, teachers, and counselors and went and looked at the book and they reclassified it and said, you know what, it's for middle school. It shouldn't be for elementary. And the book was moved from one part of the library to another part of the library. So which is telling you the truth? Which one is sticking to a false hypothesis that the

evidence shows is not true. This has to be done on absolutely everything. Here's the story for you today, Major Journal retracts a study on socially contagious transgenderism among kids. Now, there was a study done on the rapid onset gender dysphoria.

That is a hypothesis. The hypothesis there is we think that girls going from gender dysphoria of 0.5% a year later having it at 30%

we should look into because there's a rapid onset of gender dysphoria mainly affecting little girls. Why? So they did a study. They talked to 1655

possible cases from parents. And these parents, parents went to the doctor and their kids are either in, you know, transition or not, whatever. But what they found with these parents was the parents were concerned about their children, concerned enough to take a non-brief survey about the issues and find out what they thought was going on and their experience with this. Well, they found out a lot. that it looks to be social media that is pushing a lot of this, that is captivating and

changing our children in a really bad way. So the paper found evidence that youth experiencing rapid onset of gender dysphoria were involved in transgender social media groups and peer groups. It also found youth with mental health problems were more likely to have socially and medically transition than those without. That's the fact. So now this is just one study, but this one study showed the rapid onset of gender dysphoria is real and it's connected to social media.

Okay? And mental illness. Well, it was published in a very credible magazine or, you know, a journal. It had been peer reviewed. Once it's published, you get an explosion of people who are on the other side and saying that that is not true. They go and say, we will never publish anything and we will tell everyone who you are, you bigots, if you don't retract and apologize. They did. Now, the way the scientific method works is you look at all of the evidence.

Here's one piece. This is stopped now by someone who says, you can't even look at that. They don't go to disprove it. They say, take it and burn it, which. Gavin Newsom says that the target CEO is, going to come for blacks and Asians and Jews and women are the next victim of a systemic attack by white radicals. These are extremists in our community. Now, there's this hypothesis.

The people that are protesting are the extremists in our society. Okay. I know my wife, she is pretty even cute. Otherwise, I'd be dead by now. She's very even keeled. She's not an extremist. And she shops at Target. I know a lot of her friends.

They shop at Target. And they were all horrified that satanic transgender crap was being sold right at the front, you know, where all the Halloween candy is when it's Halloween. For a month, Target makes this. transgender, LGBTQI2 plus, whatever, all of that stuff, right at the front, including girls swimsuits made for men so they can tuck it. Now, are the people who say, no, no, no, no, no. This is not something as a society we should be, look, if you want to buy a swimsuit, I'm sure you're an adult, you can go find a swimsuit with the tucket pocket in it.

We do not need this in front of the store of Target. And we're not doing any, your name, by the way, is Target. So don't talk to me about being dangerous with language. We're not saying, you know, we're going to burn your store. We're saying we're just not going to shop there anymore. Just not going to shop there. Just like we don't drink light beer anymore, you know, bud light beer anymore. Now the other extremist is saying the other side,

is saying these are dangerous extremists. That doesn't fit in the bucket. You have to dismiss the evidence of who is saying this. They say it's good for business, but we know they lost share. They lost money on the stock market here just recently, like 3%, and they're losing customers. So how is this association with the transgender,

or Satanist, how is this good for business? Well, I have a hypothesis. It is good for business. But see, if you only measure the things that are obvious, you may not be able to see the full picture. How is this good for business? Well, who owns Target? Who are the major shareholders Here are the top 10 holders of Target Corporation stock. Number one, Vanguard, 9%. BlackRock, 9%. State Street, 8%. Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund, 3%.

Wells Fargo, 2.5. Bank of America, 2 and a half. another Vanguard fund with another two and a half. It is good for business. These are all the people that are voting with their shares, ESG. And if you have these people owning your company, of course you're going to do that. And you're going to say it's good for business in the long term because they've already made the decision where the American people and the people of the world,

where they're mentally supposed to be on issues like this. And it's just a matter of time until we get all of these bigots to accept it. By the way, Ali Suckie's going to be on with me about an hour to talk about this. This boycott, if it stops, you will fail. If it continues and it becomes Bud Light, oh my gosh. You're on the verge of a massive win. More in a minute. Feeling trapped by the amount of credit card debt that you're facing each month.

If you're tired of making the minimum payments, only to see the needle barely moving on the actual balance, a little stressful, if you own your own home, there may be a smarter way for you to tackle it. This is not right for everybody, but consider unlocking the power of home ownership. see what using, you know, $10,000 if that's what your credit cards are maxed out at or whatever it is.

See if you can use some of the equity that you have in your home to pay that debt off once and for all. You can get from 15 or 20 or 25% interest to 6% interest. Plus, you could end up being able to delay two months of mortgage payments and close in as little as 10 days. Call American Financing 8009062440 or Americanfinancing.com.

And, you know, Father's Day is coming up. And I think about him a lot. You know, he's a blue-collar guy, you know, when he worked on cars. And he would bring me when I was little to the store where he worked. And I'd hang out in the office and, you know, do whatever I was doing. And I just remember, you remember the smell of that room. And every time I go back to get my car fixed somewhere and I go to get through tires or something, I think that same smell kind of takes me back to that place back in those days.

I'm like, holy cow, this guy is brilliant. And I keep reading it. I'm about halfway through. And I come into a meeting and I said, we got to get Spencer Claven on how to save the West. It's really brilliant. And one of my producers said, oh, I love him. And I said, really? What else is he written or how do you know him?

And she said, it's Andrew Claven's son. Andrew, amazing job of raising this boy. The logic that he demonstrates and how to save the West, he's on in just about five minutes. You're going to love this. How to save the West. It's deep, but really good. The Glenn Back Program. When you were little, you were

braced some of course of recreat, always in trying to negotiate and do and make a change. The apply Negoti-Titre TD you can't to renouing with this instinct with without operation gratuit, no amount of minimum, and no free mensuel.

You're made for negotiate, and the TD is there for you What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Stu and I talk about all the time how we know names, but we're both so freaked out about names, getting it wrong, forgetting whatever, that we just don't do it. We just, we're like, uh, here's a person. What's their name? I don't know.

Ask him. I don't know. And I think a lot of people are like that. George Washington always felt disadvantaged and was always really weird around people like Thomas Jefferson who were formally educated and, you know, had gone to university and everything else. Washington was a brilliant man, but he always felt inferior in a room and it bothered him a lot. I am about to step into a room with one of the smartest guys I've run into. I had no idea that his father was Andrew Claven, a very good friend. I didn't even, when I looked at the name, Spencer Claven, it didn't even register with me.

And I just pick up this book. It was recommended. And so I like, that sounds good. The American, or how to save the West. How to Save the West. I've read a lot of these books and it's like, yeah, yeah, I got it. I got it. thing is brilliant, absolutely brilliant. And I come in, about halfway through the book, and I

come in and I said to my producers, we got to get Spencer Claven on. And one of my producers says, oh, man, he is great. So glad. If you write his book, and I said, yeah. And she said, you know who his dad is, right? And I'm like, no. She's like, Claven. I'm like, you've got to be kidding me. So I'm a little, this could go awry. Still, you may have to help me out because the guy's brilliant, a little intimidating, but his book is so great and so easy to read and spot on. I'm excited for him to share it with you in 60 seconds. Love working with companies that not only provide the highest level of service, but also are on the same page as the Republic.

Patriot. Spencer. How are you, sir? Glenn, I'm doing so well. It's great to be here. I was listening to you talk about me before the break. I was thinking, who's this guy he's talking about? Terrifying. I promise, I'm not that scary. I know we've met

before. Haven't we? We met at your dad's house, dad and mom's house. That's right. Yeah. That's great. Years ago, and I remember thinking, boy, these parents of this man, they are amazing. And now reading your book, I have to tell you, I love your father. I love him to death. He has got to be just beaming with what you have written. This is brilliant, Spencer, really is.

I'm very touched by that. Thank you. I was extremely lucky in both of my parents, my mom and my dad. My father, of course, disavows all ownership over me, and we like to joke that we're not related to one another. But no, he's done. No, I learned a great deal of what I know from him, and in part I wrote this book out of the love that he instilled in me of great literature and of Western since. So let's talk about it. you break up the saving of the West into five different categories.

The crisis of reality, the crisis of body, the crisis of meaning, the crisis of religion, and the crisis of regime. You start with reality and it's just, it's so spot on. Can you take us there first? Absolutely. Yeah. Let me say a little bit for a second about what I mean by the word crisis, because I think that's one of the most overused words in the world. You know, you wake up every morning and there's a

supply chain crisis and a COVID crisis and any number of other things. And, you know, of course, many of those things are quite serious and troublesome. But when I use the word crisis, I'm drawing on this Greek idea, which is where the word comes from. The Greek verb crino means to judge or to make a decision. And so a crisis, a crisis, is a time for choosing. It's a moment of being presented with two fundamentally unreconsalable ways of looking at the world. And so when I- Let me hang out just a second. Let me just say to the audience. The whole book is like that.

And it's fantastic. Anyway, go ahead. That's, here I am. This is my jam. No, I, yeah. Absolutely. I mean, you know, this, once you start to see this, the reason that the book is, is written this way.

So once you start to see this, you understand that underneath the kind of daily news cycle stories that were constantly inundated. We haven't really connected ourselves to the deeper question. You know, you hear about things like the metaverse and virtual reality, which is how the book starts. So you hear about, you know, all this new kind of tech and the strange things that are happening. And what this stuff is really doing is, it's forcing us to grapple with some of the most fundamental questions that these minds that have ever lived have wrestled and thought with this stuff. We don't have to face it just based on what the CDC or the W. FAC says tomorrow or Dr. Fauci comes with five minutes ago, we actually have resources for dealing with this. And the very first,

when whenever we start to think about these profound questions, is the crisis of reality? And that's, is there anything that is absolutely true and absolutely false no matter who says otherwise? Or is it all just kind of my truth, your truth, and that's sort of how we feel about it? And this is one of the most ancient questions in philosophy. It's how the book begins, because I think it's the first question you have to answer before you can proceed in any sort of meaningful direction. So can you, I mean, you lay out the case so well, can you give a two-minute version of reality and the collapse of reality and what we're really, we should be asking ourselves? Yeah, Abba has been this temptation to say, well, how can we really know anything that's true or false? And the temptation is always

that if you don't, you know, have to acknowledge reality, if you don't have to say that a man is a man as a woman is a woman that, you know, good is good and wrong is wrong. Then you can do what I argue in the book is there is no halfway house on this stuff. People think that they can say, oh, well, it's just my truth and your truth when it comes to, you know, morality, but I want to fight for social justice and I want to believe in the good and the virtuous. Well, the thing about it is, if you're talking about, if you want to do anything good or virtuous, you have to believe there's such a thing as goodness and virtue. And that means that there actually is truth. We can know it. And unless we believe that with one another, and that's what we're seeing right now.

So the crisis of meaning, we have lost meaning of words and of life. Talk about that. Yeah. Talk about meaning we use. They're not just for fun. They're actually referring to something outside of ourselves, outside of the human body, outside of just our little minds and the way we happen to want to live our lives. And the reason that this is so difficult for people is that if you're talking about

things that are outside of yourself, you're ultimately going to get to the thing that is highest above you, that is most outside of you. That's the supernatural, and that's the divine, the divine. And we've been sold this bill of goods that, you know, God and theology, this is a kind of backwards, outdated superstition. Nobody believes in that anymore. And the more we do that, the blinder we become to existing just because we don't realize what we're doing. And so we become these kind of blind worshippers of, you know, the science or BLM or whatever we want to bend the need to. And we don't realize that we've just become pagan worshippers by another name. And so to really recover a sense of meaning that won't inflave us, but will set us free,

we've got to let the divine back into our lives. So we have just, you know, we see half the country. And there's a lot of people, like, for instance, I think Elon Musk is one of these. you have a lot of really great people who are probably more classical liberals that have looked at things and went, okay, wait, there's no evidence. In fact, all the evidence goes in the opposite direction. We've got to stop this. And they're not changing, you know, they're not suddenly becoming conservatives.

But half of the country is just locked in on things that do not make sense. they didn't make sense in theory, and now we're seeing the fruits of it all across the country. What is happening to them and how do we reconnect? Well, I think that those people that you're describing who are, you know, I would say enthrall to a kind of woke dogma, those people are being offered in alternative religion. And it doesn't call itself a religion, but it has all the characteristics of a religion. It involves begging for forgiveness. It involves this ultimate kind of quest for apocalyptic utopia where everything is going to come out okay and the world is going to be cleansed in a divine fire.

It has all the hallmarks of religion because people are craving, craving something that gives meaning and direction to their lives. And I think that as conservatives, as people that think this stuff doesn't make any sense, we have to recognize that we're not just going to argue people out of this by, you know, presenting them a budget sheet by saying, oh, the economy is going to go better if you do it this way rather than that way. What we actually have to say is the thing that you're yearning for, the meaning, the significance, the passion that you are yearning for in this woke madness, the reality of it, the truth of it is in the great tradition, is in the divine truths of scripture, is in the great adventure of philosophy. We've got to present this stuff as the joy that it is. And that's cultural. That's spiritual. That's not just political. So I think that, you know, the

right and even just normal people that can see this stuff is going terribly wrong, we're going to have to offer a countervailing vision, a vision of the great tradition and the great adventure that we're all on of carrying that flame forward because that's the only thing that can answer the real needs of the human heart. Spencer Clavin, the name of the book is How to Save the West. Spencer, if you don't mind, hang on for 60 seconds.

10 seconds. Station ID. Spencer, you're my favorite kind of intellectual. you don't lord it over anybody's head. And even though there is one sentence in your book that I think has three words that I've never heard of before, I still, I get it. You're not talking over people's heads. You get it. And I just, go ahead. I actually did not go to grad school for the purposes of feeling better than everybody else.

I think that puts me in a vanishingly small minority. Yeah, it does. Yeah, it does. It does. You're not spouting knowledge to show everybody how smart you are. You are connecting the dots and telling stories that, you know, most of us haven't learned or we learned a little bit and forgot. And you've thought deeply about them. And we are at a time.

I've been saying this forever. We have to define what life is because AI is coming and people will say that's alive. So what do you do? But if it's alive, are you a slave owner by keeping it and we're having it work for you for free? Should it vote if it's alive? I mean, we are going to have to re-answer all of the most basic questions. And I think that's what your book gets to. Yeah, well, it speaks actually to what you were saying about not lording the great books or the canon over people.

that's incredibly important to me. That's, you know, really personal from my perspective, because these things, these books that sit up on the shelf and we kind of think of them as, you know, big, scary words, Plato's Republic, Aristotle's Nikon Key and ethics, you know, we treat them as if they're beyond us or even maybe they're kind of, you know, outdated or they're not worth reading. And we've been told this by our kind of cultural legislators, by the people that said, hey, hey, ho-ho, Western Civ has got to go. And for me, growing up, been a house filled with these books, one thing I really quickly realized is that these great minds are not there to intimidate us. They're actually our greatest friends in the world. They're

there to teach us about what it means to be human and how to be good at being human. And that's not something for eggheads like me to specialize in. That's something for everybody to take up like that. You'll find so much more sanity and common sense than you will from our kind of modern gurus on a lot of this stuff. And what's amazing is you find that you are not alone. That I mean, I remember when I first, I

had to be 30 when I first started reading Plato. I mean, really reading it to learn something. And I was shocked at how relevant it was. It was like, oh my gosh, I'm struggling with that now. Oh my gosh. I understand that problem.

And we we lose that because our history has been so poorly taught that we think these things are just incredibly boring, but the answers are all there because these are eternal truths, or at least the search for an eternal truth. You say, save the West, and we are looking at a time where it looks like America could, I mean, just go down at any time. is there is there anything about this time that gives you hope that you're seeing that we are different than the past or is it kind of inevitable you know this is one of those questions that I have wrestled with myself and I know probably everybody listening to us right now is worried about this very thing what's going to happen to us and a lot of the times this gets

framed in terms of like, are you an optimist or are you a pessimist, right? Do you think everything is going to go great or everything is going to go poorly? And one thing I've realized is that both optimism and pessimism are kind of mistakes because they're predictions about the future. If you're an optimist, you think everything's going to go well. Maybe you don't work hard to preserve the great tradition. If you're a pessimist, you think it's going to go badly. Why would you do anything? And so my question always is where do you put your hope? Where does your hope why? Because hope is a virtue. It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a very question. It's a actually one of the central Christian virtues. And my hope is in this tradition that I am delivering,

which has endured both the rising and the falling of great nations. Doesn't matter, it's a matter of indifference. It doesn't mean it's a matter of indifference what happens in our politics. It just means that the things of the world, which are beyond our control, are going to transpire, you know, whether we choose them or not. That's how it works. What's in our control is the preservation of the Western tradition of virtue of the small, human-sized, face-to-face practice, of courage, integrity, reason, prudence, these sorts of things, which people like Plato talk about, they take place at the dinner table. They take place in neighborhoods. They take place in schools. And that's why we're seeing so much energy in these local communities, even as everything seems

to be going terribly wrong on the world stage. The more people invest in their states, in their towns and their families and their churches, the more we start to see that actually, you know, the West is not some grand narrative that's outside of our understanding or control. The West is us. I have to thank you. Please tell your father he should have laid claim to you and then tell your mother she did a great job of raising you. It's fantastic. Fantastic.

The Glenn Back Program. Brian lives in Alabama. I have to have him back for a podcast. You need an hour to listen to him. My gosh, it's just so well thought out. Brian lives in Alabama. Over the past few years, he's been suffering from pain so frequent and debilitating that it has limited his mobility. He was barely able to get around the house, let alone out and doing a normal daily life. He was beginning to despair. He had tried what he thought was everything, and it didn't work or it left him feeling so, you know, non-lucid that he just couldn't take it. Brian heard me talking about Relief Factor, decided to try it, but they have to lose.

Turns out what he had to lose was 90% of his pain, he says, in the first three weeks, Brian got his life back, and so could you. The three-week quick start, 1995. It's a trial pack because it's not the same for everybody. Everybody's different. But hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor and about 70% would go on to order more.

They're asking, should businesses back away from this? Because what happened to Bud Light and what's currently going on with Target? Listen to the analysis. What advice could you give companies that sort of get swept up in this? Well, the issue is who are you beholden to? Are you beholden to many different stakeholders, but in particular you're beholden to. investors and investors are not showing are not pulled back from looking at how companies

there's a lot more on this but let me just let me stop it there you're beholden to many stakeholders okay that's esg talk and uh you're really you have to answer to the shareholders so who are the shareholders of target you ready vanguard with nine percent black rock 9% State Street, 8%, then another Vanguard fund with 3%, then Wells Fargo, then Bank of America,

then another Vanguard 500 index fund. They're only talking about 12 people. You've got maybe 12 people that are really die hard into ESG at the top of these companies and they're the ones telling these companies, you do this. Good luck with that Target.

Ali Stucky is with me now from Blaze TV. Hi, Ali. How are you? I know you've been all over this and it has been shocking. I walked into Target last Friday and I didn't know if it had been going on. Apparently it had just gone up. And I looked at my wife and I said, we are not shopping here. Yeah.

This is way over the line. Right. And apparently I wasn't alone with that. Yeah, you know, some people started boycotting a long time ago. I started boycotting a year ago. So I was even kind of late to the game in some ways. Some people were boycotting when they were allowing men into women's restrooms, which they were ahead of the game on that. But I started boycotting last year when I saw that they were selling in the name of Pride Month these compression tops, which they're selling again this year, for young girls who want to pretend to be boys, to look like boys.

And I just thought, there's really no more wicked message than that, that your body is bad, that God made a mistake with you. And we will help you cover up the body that God gave you so that you can pretend to be something else. Like, how self-loathing is that? And then now, as you've already talked about, they have the same thing for boys with the tucking swimsuits and all that. And I just said, you know what, I don't boycott everything. I don't divest from every corporation that doesn't agree with all my values. But I'm already spending too much money at Target.

Those Target runs end up, you know, racking the bill with things. that you don't really need. And I can't spend that much money on a company that is directly opposing everything that I am fighting for. So I know it sounds difficult, but I stopped shopping there a year ago and I haven't looked back. I have to tell you, I think if this becomes a Bud Light thing, the entire thing begins to fall apart. Because Bud Light expected a hit and then turn it around.

but if people start to look at Target, like I now look at Target, and go, you are an enemy to my family. Yes. Then things begin to change. When somebody walks into the kitchen with a Target bag and somebody else says, you shopped at Target, that's when it's over. Yep, absolutely. And they just took it a step too far. Even for the people who are like, okay, I can tolerate the rainbows. That's fine.

It's one segment, whatever. But when you're talking about bathing suits, meant to cover up male genitalia, for pretty young boys it looks like, depending on, you know, the product that you're looking at. I mean, really, if you're associating with that. And I just want to say because it's really suburban women, suburban moms that are propping up Target. And I would say a lot of Christian women, a lot of women go there specifically for Chip and Joanna's Magnolia line. That's another one. Yes. People should be writing to Chip and Joanna and saying, are you seeing what's going on?

How can you remain silent with a partner that is doing this? I mean, I know they have contracts and it, you know, something you walk away from, but you should at least speak out. Right. And, you know, it's not like they don't speak out about other things because a few years ago after the whole George Floyd debacle, they did make statements about, you know, the dangers of racism and white supremacy and do. doing better and doing the work. So they're okay with speaking out about some social justice issues. But guys, you have represented yourself as strong Christians, as defenders of the Christian faith. And family. And family. And so at this point, I do think that their silence is strange. Yeah. So do you think this is something that we've seen the biggest part of? Or do you think this becomes a bud light thing?

I think that as long as those of us who have a microphone or anyone who has influence, whether it's small or large, continues this, continues to double down. Don't take their little statements. They're moving the segments to other parts of the store as, oh, we won. No, you double down. I'm asking people at least for the month of June. And I know some people think that they're totally dependent on Target and that's another conversation for another day. At least for the month of June, women, Christian women, suburban moms, do not shop at Target, at least for the month of June. I think that can make a difference. I will tell you, they, will wait it out.

But Bud Light is now six weeks into it. Is that right? Six, seven weeks? Yes. Six weeks. And they're down 30% or 29% now. And they're freaking out now.

They expect us because we don't do this. They expect us just to go along. And I think we've hit a turning point in all of this to where people with Bud Light, They were, it doesn't make sense that we didn't do anything about Nike. And yet here comes Bud Light and all of a sudden, there's something that has happened in the minds of Americans. Yeah. And I'm hoping that this is the next shoot-a-fall because if it happens to Target and Bud Light, the number one beer in America, it happens to those two, it will put all corporations on notice something's changed. changed, we're not, they're not going to take it.

Look, the idea of boys being able to become girls and vice versa and all of the bodily mutilation that we've seen come from that. Whether you consider yourself an independent or whether you're a Christian or not, that's just too far for people. I mean, obviously as a Christian, I'm for a traditional marriage and all of that. But even just for the non-religious, non-conservative person, the idea of a little boy being told to talk is just too far. It's insanity. And I think that's why. I think that's why it's changed to this year. I think that's why there's more vitriol and because there's a lot of disgust and a lot of depravity that people don't want to be a part of. It's evil. It's evil. And it is so, it is a slap against the face of every

woman, every girl to bind. Would anyone go to a place that's like, hey, women, you should bind your feet like they used to in China. Right. No, we know that's horrible. You now want to bind women's breasts. This is so far over the line that, and then on top of it,

the fact that they are doing business with a designer who is a Satanist and has no problem saying it. And some of his designs are like, what was it, Satan? Satan respects pronouns. Also, murderous things of like times up for homophobes or a homophobe headrest, which was actually a picture of a guillotine. Yeah.

So, I mean, this is a murderous person that the people at Target were like, yes, we want to partner with you. I can't believe how deeply it goes. Because that's not just a corporate decision to say, hey, let's get into the LGBTQ because of the S in ESG. no, no, no, this is a fundamental problem in Target. If your company has now started to bring Satanists in, known Satanists, and you're selling their product that talks about Satan, you've got a deep, deep problem at the core of you, and by ignoring it, it doesn't get better. It will only get worse.

Don't. Do not shop at Target. Don't. Tell everybody you know. Don't. I'm telling you, this is a big moment. If we actually take this moment seriously and start drawing lines in the sand and saying, no, you might make all your money on Wall Street, but you will not make it from me. You'll change the world. You'll change the world. Yes, and amen. Keep the fight going. Thank you.

You too. You bet. All right. Our sponsor this half hour is gold line. We are looking at, if Stu was saying earlier today on the Ron DeSantis Twitter thing last night, that they were talking about the central bank digital currency and, you know, where he stood on this. And they were mocking it. The New York Times. Mocking the idea that they would even discuss something like that.

Like it's crazy. I mean, who doesn't, if you have your eyes open just a little bit, by the way, count yourself way way ahead of everybody else. I think this audience is more prepared for what is coming down the road than any other audience, maybe in the world, because you've had your eyes open for a long time. Now, when it comes to a digital currency, I'm not saying it's the mark of the beast, but I'm not not saying it either. It'll be the technology that the beast will use. And it will any change in our currency, you will lose, well, historically, you lose between 40 and 60% of your dollar, just changing currencies out. It could be worse because we're losing the world's reserve currency. what are you doing to have money in the end?

Look, Air Canada, does a sold world. Super, an offer for the assort. Station thermal, volcano. You've seen the price for the Japan?

endurisuris limited. Reserved to R-Canada.com or at your agent of voyage. The conditions apply. Hello, you sick,

twisted freak. Get up my phone. Welcome to the program. I'm glad you're here. I don't mean that to you to use to. I thought I was looking at you when I said it.

I didn't mean it to you. I appreciate that. Yeah. What do you think about that you mentioned earlier that you went through a monologue on the scientific method and applying it to news gathering and what's the truth and what narrative is going to be true? And I think now it is so easy. Now it maybe eight years ago it wasn't because everything was a hypothesis.

Let's reimagine the police. Okay. No, it's not going to work, but it was my word against your word. Now we have the evidence. Now we know. So everything that is happening right now, you can look at the scientific method, which is if you look at every story that you see as a hypothesis, then you gather the facts. And you gather the facts and you'll see really quickly. No, that story's not true.

and the honest people then change the hypothesis because the scientific method proves that hypothesis wrong. This is the problem with our society. Everybody's doubling down. Crime is through the roof. What are they doing? Doubling down. Why?

Based on what evidence? Your hypothesis was we can help people. No, you're getting people killed and robbed and raped. we know that. So you got a new hypothesis. I'm less likely to listen to you this next time. But do you have a new one? Because the old one you're still operating on is wrong.

Is wrong. I think looking at the news through that lens is really helpful. Because we often, I think, just kind of go into our own little circles and talk to people. But like you don't, I mean, you know, the average person doesn't sit around and like, analyze every motivation behind every news story. That's not supposed to be their job, but the media is supposed to be there to serve people and to help them understand things. Instead, it winds up being the opposite. They're trying to hide the truth from people. So let's just go with this. This Fox News banner right now, Democrats mock GOP hearing on gas stove ban. The GOP,

their hypothesis, is you're banning gas stoves. The GOP or the Democrats are saying, that's ridiculous. Well, let's see. if the GOP hypothesis is correct. What do you have? 14 states that are now banning all new construction of gas stoves. You have the federal government and the EPA trying to pass regulation and get things done because they say it's indoor pollution. What do you think? I mean, how is that their hypothesis is right, the GOP, the hypothesis, the hypothesis of the Democrats mocking and saying that's ridiculous.

list is clearly wrong. Yeah, it's funny too, because there's just this like trail of these narratives that they often bump into each other. Like, the narrative of this is a conspiracy theory is from two months ago. When this all started, they said it was a conspiracy theory. Of course, we're not going to do that. Well, in the interim, states like New York have come out and banned gas stoves in new construction. Correct. Right. So, California. California. They're either moving or have done it. So now this old narrative whose time has run out is still being repeated by the left. Right.

And you can tell the hypocrisy very easily because they're doing both of them at the same time. And so this should build on itself. Like you said, they're connected. This should build on itself. Once you see, oh, that hypothesis is wrong. Wait a minute. That hypothesis earlier also wrong. And then you said the same thing about this one and that was wrong.

Then you tie it together and you know what source to go to. Yeah. Maybe I shouldn't be trusting. the source. Yeah, this source is unreliable. And they just think, and look, I think right, I think they're correct in this, unfortunately, but I think they just assume people won't do that work. And you shouldn't have to do that work. But if you don't, you will get taken by a bunch of people who want to take you. May God forget all of us who are exchanging our convenience for the death of our country. It's time game. We're no longer playing a game here.

You have to choose. What is most important in your life? If freedom for your children is important, and I put that right at the top, that's how I prioritize my time. What you have been doing clearly isn't working. So now my hypothesis is we should get engaged.
