Man, hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program. There is a lot to report on today. First, I mean, Adam Schiff weeps and the world laughs. It's the January 6th hearings yesterday. Two congressmen could not control their emotions. They were so upset by it. And I think that's fantastic. I really, I really do.

I'm not one to make fun of people crying unless you really don't have anything to cry about. I don't know what I'm saying. I'll give you something to cry about. That's what my father would have said yesterday. We're going to talk about that this hour. Ben Shapiro is joining us on the show. We're going to talk a lot about authoritarianism. And we begin with the growing state.

in 60 seconds. All right. If you have a mortgage on your home, there is a good chance. You can find a better rate or, you know, more comfortable loan terms right now. The market is still in your favor and getting rates under 3% is still possible. Federal Housing Finance Agency has gotten rid of the adverse market fee. So you have even a better chance of saving the kind of money that can really make a difference in your monthly savings. If you're the fiscally responsible type, you know that a comment. constant worry during your working years is that by the time you're ready to retire, you won't be

able to. And there's a ton of reasons why that's a healthy fear to have. I don't know if any of us are going to be able to retire. Right now, the government wants you to take loans out. They want you to take loans out. And so they're making it very, very easy to take loans out because what they want you to do is save $200, $300, $300, $500, even $1,000 a month and then go take that money and go spend it. Here's what I'd like you to do. I'd like you to take those greedy SOBs and I'd like you to borrow the money at a lower interest rate and then use that money to pay things off. Imagine if you had $1,000 a month how fast you could pay your mortgage off if you just took that $1,000 and you applied it to the mortgage without the interest. Just write pay down the principal. You can do this

with your credit cards, your home mortgage. It is a really, really good thing that I think you should look into today by calling American financing at 800906 2440. 89062440, Americanfinancing. American financing, NMLS-182334, www. nmLS Consumer Access.org. Tonight on the Wednesday night special at 9 p.m. This is a must watch on Blaze TV. I am focusing on an alarming new strategy from the White House. It's something that America barely even noticed when it was released last month. We did, and we started our researchers looking into it. Big media just rubber-stamped it with their approval.

But it was put together by the National Security Council, and it is a blueprint for sweeping government action called the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism. with zero focus on movements like BLM and Antifa, which has caused over a billion dollars in physical damage in the last year and how many people have died, zero focus on ransomware attacks from Russia and China, and zero focus on the ongoing threats from radical Islamic terrorist groups. This national strategy declares America's greatest national security threat to be violent extremist, principally those who promote the superiority of the white race. Now, those guys have always been a problem.

And I'm not for white supremacy. You're no friend of mine if you're a white supremacist. You're an idiot. And if you're a violent white supremacist and you'll get your, you're a Nazi. So I don't really know what to say about those guys other than I've always been against them. And I think most people are. This White House strategy, however, has disturbing implications for the constitutional rights of all Americans, as we're already seeing governments as if surveillance systems turning their focus on us, the U.S. citizen.

The Capitol riots on January 6th, foolish, tragic, awful. Everybody I know was against it. But predictably, the White House and the U.S. national security apparatus are seizing that event to, redefine domestic terrorism. That is exactly, that's all this thing this hearing is about. To expand the powers of government to prevent you from speaking. You need to know about their new blueprint for big government and big tech to surveil, root out, and silence all of America's quote unquote deplorables, all in the name of national security.

Now, let me go through a couple of things that we're not going to have time to cover. And this should tell you something. Big Tech has now partnered with the government. The biggest U.S. tech companies, including Facebook, Microsoft, they are expanding the types of extremist content shared between firms in a key database. This is part of the national strategy. So here's what they're doing.

The group will add attacker manifestos, often shared by sympathizers after white supremacist violence. Can you tell me, Stu, the last white supremacist violence that you saw in the news? Maybe Charlottesville. Other than a few of the people of January 6th. Yeah. Okay. But yeah, there's not a big factor in our country. There are not a lot of white supremacists in our nation.

I know this is shocking to the mainstream media. So here's the thing. They are now, they're now working. together and they will use lists from intelligence sharing group Five Eyes. Do you know what Five Eyes is? Come on. Five Eyes. Anybody? Five Eyes are, and I'm going to blow this here, but it's France, Australia, England, the United States, maybe Germany. I can't remember, but it's the biggest Western intelligence group. So our CIA. you know,

MI 6. They work together and it's five eyes. Canada is one of them. And we share all of the information as much as we care to share. Well, now we're sharing a database of extremists and those who are anti-government. It's Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK, and the United States. Okay. All right.

Anyway, so we are now playing with counterterrorism organizations. And they are now starting to access a global database. And they're getting input from Reddit, Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, Verizon Media, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Dropbox, all of that is going to a global database. Is this a problem? Is this a problem? And by the way, at the same time, these high tech companies are saying that you're lying. And if you're lying about things, they're going to make sure that your disinformation

or misinformation specifically about the virus, that if you're not telling the truth on that, going to be banned. Well, you know, it's really, really weird. If you were looking at, if you were watching the internet at all, you might have heard about this person that just left the ER and that when they were in the hospital there for COVID, they saw that we are officially being crushed by this Delta variant. It is it's much more dangerous than ever before

And it's it's somebody who wrote this just left the ER Unfortunately, that's not true Because that exact message is being tweeted out by several people And we're kind of wondering who did that And where are the fact checkers on this one? Who is who is putting out propaganda and pushing that out so everybody goes and worries about the delta virus.

Who's doing that? Because Twitter is all over misinformation. In fact, yesterday Twitter suspended the 2020 election audit accounts. Now, these for multiple states, they banned accounts linked to the official 2020 election audits. These are the official state accounts. So they just thought that they should

ban the audit war room in Wisconsin, in Nevada, in Pennsylvania, in Georgia. But other than that, don't worry about it. And I guess this happened because Ken Bennett, who is the GOP

Secretary of State in Arizona, he is the liaison to the ongoing audit. And he came out last week and he said, I can't be a part of a process where I'm kept out of the critical aspects along the way to make the audit legitimate and have integrity when we produce the final report. He said, I've been asking, how are you coming up with these numbers? What are the things?

And he's now been banned from this. He said, I can't vouch for a final product unless there's transparency. And I can see how they're coming to these conclusions. I don't know if that's what led to the Twitter ban, but Twitter wants to make sure that you don't know what is happening with the audit. The UN has just a greenlit big tech mega database to censor American extremist online. Big tech, it was a group led by the most powerful and the most influential online. they are going to broaden now their shared censorship data to curb extremist content

and collect video and images deemed white supremacist, according to Reuters. The expansion comes after the group took on renewed urgency after January 6th. Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, YouTube, tech oligarchs trigger-happy to de-platform political dissidents, founded the Global Internet Forum to Counterterrorism in 2017. It's a new, according to them, collective effort to prevent the spread of terrorist and violent extremist content online. You know, we never did any of these things for anybody else. Anybody else. Antifa?

Over a billion dollars of damage they have. Could you look up how many people have died in all of these Antifa riots? It's dozens. Yeah, dozens. It's dozens. Dozens. Dozens. Airbnb is now in this pledging to prevent hate groups from visiting Washington, D.C.

Mailchimp is using its power to de-platform opinions it doesn't like. Pinterest and Instagram have banned Donald Trump. This is a growing problem in the United States. And the problem really stems from people who absolutely believe that they are right. New York Times, a New York Times reporter. This is not an opinion person. Her name is Katie Benner. She yesterday deleted tweets calling for Trump supporters to be considered enemies of the state.

Enemies of the state. Trump supporters. She said that the January 6th committee has to do this to combat the national security threats within the country. And the solution is to target the voters of the former president. Now, she deleted because she said they were, you know, unclearly worded. Well, here's what she wrote. Today's January 6th Select Committee underscores America's current essential national security dilemma.

Work to combat legitimate national security threats now entails calling a politician's supporters enemies of the state. As Americans, we believe state power should not be used to work against a political figure or a political party. But what happens if a politician seems to threaten the state? If that politician continues to do so out of office and his entire party supports that threat, that's not unclearly worded. We know exactly what she means.

They're also going back now and talking more about mask mandates. A good portion of America is not going to do it. They're just not going to do it. Here's the truth. We are a nation clearly divided. We are a nation that doesn't believe in blind justice anymore. If we did, this hearing would have people who disagreed with each other on the panel. And Adam Schiff would be nowhere near it.

We're being told now we have to vaccinate, which I have no problem with vaccination. I currently have antibodies. And the antibodies are shown by science to be better. than the, then the, um, uh, uh, inoculation. So when I feel like I need it, I'm going to take the vaccine. It's not a problem. I'm not giving it to my kids, but I don't have a problem taking the vaccine.

But see, this is not about the vaccine. This is not about saving people. None of this is. This is not about stopping violence on the streets. This is not about stopping people who don't, like the government in power. It's not. Otherwise, you'd be going after Antifa as well,

because they are claiming they want an end to the Constitution and an end to capitalism and an end to this government. All right. So why are we looking into them? Because that's not what we're looking for. We're not looking for the truth. We're looking for a political viewpoint that is being deemed the truth and anything that stands against it is evil, is wrong,

is a danger to society. And you have to fear whatever it is. You fear that. You notice, as we have said almost every day this week, it is black and Hispanics for the most part that are not getting vaccinated. It's not Trump supporters alone. And many Trump supporters have already. gotten the vaccine.

But why are we made to feel that it's white extremists, that it's white people who voted for Donald Trump that are the problem here? That's not. This is all about fear. Everything they do is about fear. And the lockdown has turned fear into a virtue. I want you to listen carefully to this, because this is the problem. Those who are afraid to believe they're better people than those.

who aren't and will subconsciously look for ways to multiply fear because that is their virtue. They believe they're better people. And everything in our society is saying, yes, if you agree with CRT, if you agree with Marxism, if you agree with, you know, anti-white, whatever, that's a virtue. Fear. Fear is their virtue. virtue. That's why when you go up into places where they are like New York, they are terrified when you walk in without a mask.

Terrified. They're completely irrational, but it's a virtue. Let me tell you about built.com. Did you hear what Boris Johnson is doing in England? He is now putting together his own little. junk food credit score. Wait until you hear this. You want to talk about authoritarian.

And it's all because he's getting in shape. And so he wants to lead the nation into getting in shape. Oh, so he can force everybody. Hmm. I want you to know, Build Bar is good for you. It will help you lose weight. It'll help you keep the weight off.

You'll help you keep healthy. But it does it in a candy bar. It does it in a. really, really good 100% chocolate candy bar is the only way I can describe it. It's not right to say it's a protein bar, even though that technically is what it is. I think it's a candy bar. Here is the great thing. Right now they have nine different flavors.

You can get a mix box. You can try two of each of the nine flavors. And they are really, truly amazing. I mean, you should do it. They should do a mounds test. You know, almond joy has nuts, mounds don't. So it would be mounds. Their coconut bar.

I don't think you can tell the difference. Built bar. You can find them at built.com. Use the promo code Beck 15, say 15% off your next order. Your mouth and your body is going to thank you for it. It's built.com promo code Beck 15. 10 seconds, station ID. I want to tell you about what's coming starting in England now.

And it is coming our way, but I'm going to run out of time. Let me tell you about first what happened. with the U.S. Court of Appeals, the 10th Circuit on Monday, said a Christian web designer who lives in Colorado has to create websites that she says violates her religious beliefs. This is so un-American when you say, I have a right to my own conscience, and they say, no, you don't. And the reason why the court is saying is because she's the best. she's the one everybody wants and if she doesn't do it then they're going to get something

you know not quite as good well couldn't I say that about Starbucks when Starbucks says you have to wear a mask and they say well then you just can't come in if you don't want to wear a mask or you're not vaccinated yeah but Starbucks is the best I'm I'm relegated to a substandard

coffee shop really I am not a person who believes in censorship from the outside. I do believe in censoring my own stuff, you know, what I'm watching, what I'm listening to. It's our responsibility as an individual, or in the case of kids, it's the responsibility of parents. I don't know if you've noticed this or not, but Hollywood loves to make things that are great, but the language, the violence, the adult content, I'm a little overwhelmed.

I don't know when everything became pornographic. There is a service out there called Vid Angel, and they give you control over the content in your home.

Don't miss it, blazattsdbac.com slash Glenn. This is the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to Mr. Pat Gray. We want to talk a little bit about the hearing yesterday in Washington, D.C. which I have a really very difficult time. Could we please play Adam Schiff? I have a problem with Adam Schiff even being on this committee or even being in Congress at this point.

But here he is with all of the credibility on what January 6th was really all about. Better the next time God help us. And if we're so driven by bigotry and hate that we attack our fellow citizens as traitors, if they're born in another country or they don't look like us. Sorry, I'm so emotional. He's actually crying here. Is he? Yeah.

Is he squeezing out the tears? God help us. God help us. Exactly. I have faith because of folks like you. Okay. So he has faith because of people like there are testifying yesterday. Are you okay, Pat?

I'm not. I'm not. Pat does not look okay. It's too emotionally. So do you know that they actually moved barricades? Okay, okay, okay, hang on just a second. A podium! A podium was taken! Don't take our podiums, please, by all that is good, right, and holy,

don't abscond with the podium. There was a lot of absconded. going on. Here's the thing. First of all, I think both sides are in a state of delusion. And I think because everybody has whipped everybody up into a frenzy, and it's not when I say everybody's whipped up. No, really only the media and the politicians in Washington have whipped everybody up.

By calling this the worst attack on American institutions since the civil war is, is so ridiculous. We all, I was horrified. My wife was horrified. Everyone I know was horrified while this was going on. We were horrified that we're like, where's the president? Where's the president? Why isn't the president coming out?

We were horrified that he didn't immediately get on and say, stop it. We don't do this. Stop it. Okay. That's true. Now, this is from the group of people who also were horrified. that nobody in Seattle, nobody in Portland, nobody in the rest of the country, it seems,

actually stood up in their own cities and said, stop it right now when it comes to Antifa. Now they're trying to prosecute and persecute anyone, anyone who voted for Trump because of what, honestly, maybe, let's get,

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Maybe 200 people did. I think there were probably 50 that were committed to it and the rest were hapless dupes that just followed in and got tied into it. And some people just, you know, caught up on the emotion, got very angry and committed crimes. Committed crimes. And they should go to jail.

Yeah. Or be fined. I mean, a lot of them were, again, absconding with a podium might not necessarily. I'm sorry, Pat. I didn't mean to bring you back to that place. Wow. That's dark, dark place. All I can think of

sodium under his arm walking through the rotunda. You know, the reason why these guys care so much is because it happened to them for the first time. Right.

It happened to them. They're not small business owners. They're not worried about the police being defunded. Nobody's defunding the police in Washington, D.C. No. Imagine if those people

did that to the Capitol and then the rest of America said, you know what we need to do? Defund the police in Washington, D.C. Imagine how those people in the Capitol would feel. That's exactly what they have been encouraging for the rest of America. Yeah. If there's a defund the Capitol police movement right now,

maybe we could take them seriously on their other claims. But they don't care if people in Minneapolis die because the police don't show up. They don't care. They don't have nothing to do with it. Nope. They don't care at all. And, you know, this, remember, during the George, Floyd riots, places all over Washington, D.C. were on fire.

There was all sorts of violence that happened when that was going on in the same place. It wasn't aimed at them. It wasn't aimed at them. So, they didn't care about it. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Absolutely every time. There was one guy that actually said the truth. I don't think he noticed that he was saying the truth.

Can you play the police officer? I don't remember which one he is. Yeah, that one. Listen to this. had marching orders, so to say. When people feel emboldened by people in power, they assume that they're right. Like, one of the scariest things about January 6th

is that the people that were there, even to this day, think that they were right. They think that they were right. And that makes for a scary recipe for the future of this country. I know. Ask Seattle. Ask Portland. Ask Chicago.

Ask any place in America where defund the police. Ask the people in Minneapolis. Do they feel that they were wrong? They were emboldened by the system, by the local community, by the mayors, by the city council. Now by the president. They were emboldened when they were being bailed out by our now vice president. I mean, think of that. Think of that.

Donald Trump hasn't provided bail for any of these people. Kamala Harris provided bail for people in Antifa and Minneapolis and all over the country. And some of whom were attacking federal buildings. Yes. So, yeah, I don't think that police officer really understood what he said. And from the beginning of the hearing yesterday, Benny Thompson, I guess he's the chair of the committee. Yeah. started out by saying we are here to deal only in fact.

We will only deal in fact. And the first thing he did was lie about how many people died. Seven people. Seven people. Seven people. That's sick Nick. We know sick Nick died. And they lied about that as well.

What do you mean? He was beaten to death. He died as a result of the injuries incurred in the riot. Yeah. No. Oh, yeah, he must have. The day after he must have. He had two strokes.

He had two strokes. Yeah, but doctors say that those strokes were certainly caught on by the... Yeah. It did say tied to the events, right? No, they didn't. No. They came out and said it had nothing to do it. Corner said the opposite.

This was a ticking time bomb would have happened anyway. I thought in the report, they said that while it was a stroke, it was... Look it up. Look it up. I think I remember the coroner coming. I'm almost positive. Yeah, I am too. The coroner did not blame.

But regardless, it was not a traditional, how you... We think of a traditional, like, you know, David, was it David Dorn who died in the riots, the police officer, retired police officer? He was shot. That's how you, that's how you think of death in a riot, right? Like, you beat over the head with a fire extingu. Yeah, there were no injuries that caused Sicknick's death. Maybe blood pressure? I mean, he had high blood pressure because of the event.

That's about as good as you can get. That's about as good as you can get. Then two officers died by suicide. word. In the following week. Yeah. Okay. You can't blame that on the... You can't blame that on the riot. How do you blame that on the riot? Right. A protester was shot by police. Two protesters suffered fatal heart attacks and another died of a suspected drug overdose. Yeah. The only person actually killed as a result of what

was going on was Ashley... Ashley Babbitt. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. Yep. And she shouldn't have been there. No. She shouldn't have been there. That's right. But I, And I feel bad for her. I feel bad for her family, but she shouldn't have been there. And, and, you know, she knew a gun was pointed at her and climbed through a barricaded building. I mean, like, it's true. It's wrong. Go through the, the, you know, the justified shootings that have happened.

And we've talked about on the air from police officers to African Americans and communities. Like, this one was worse. By her actions was worse than many of those that were justified. I mean, like this is, I don't know. know how that became this like cause celeb among some conservatives where we're supposed to say that police officers are not allowed to shoot people who are

going through barricades in the middle of an ongoing riot inside the Capitol building like I don't I don't understand that particular point of view all that well especially when we have I think correctly argued over and over again if you go and you're charging at an officer

they have the right to shoot you right like we've how many how many videos have we talked about where the left is coming out and saying, no, they should have just let that girl stab the other girl and they shouldn't have done anything. I mean, that's the left's arguments constantly. And for whatever reason that is surrounded this particular case. They did, you know, look, she did something that I'm, you know, I feel bad about because I don't want people to die. But that is, the officer in that case, I believe, acted in a justifiable manner. That being said, it's tragic. And, but it also

supports what conservative say, which is like, this, this was the one. death that occurred in this riot. There's another, like, there's a woman, it's terrible. A woman who's in the middle of all this wound up having health problems, collapsed on the ground, and was basically trampled while she was having some sort of heart attack. That's a terrible, terrible story.

However, it is not just a fire. I haven't either. It's a terrible thing to say, oh, well, this many people died. Right? Like, okay. Yes, she did die in the incident. But it had nothing to do with it. But it was not like murderous people came up and tried to kill.

Like that was not what happened here. It was a terrible tragedy. Yes, exactly. No one died in the way they mean it. Yeah, I think that's a, that's an appropriate. Yeah, because Ashley Babbitt, that's not their example of what went wrong. One of the protesters that they didn't like that shouldn't have been there died. So nobody died defending it.

Nobody died in Congress. Nothing happened in that way. Like if you were to say a mass shooting occurred and. one person died, it was the shooter. Yeah. Right. Like that was not, that's not how they would summarize that story. That's how they're summarizing it here. They would have said injured and only one fatality and it was the shooter. Right. And so look, look, again, was it a good incident? No. But like, you know, as we were talking about this a little bit before we went on the air, there are some people on the right, very few who are

basically saying it was nothing. It was just a, I think this is honestly, this is where I started. That's coming from. It's pushback. Push back. It's like, how dare you say that? Right. Because on the other side, the media has been telling us for a very long time that this was the civil war. Just like with the voting stuff, they say it's Jim Crow 2.0. Everything's the most extreme thing that's ever happened.

And it's like, it is closer to nothing than it is to the civil war. No question. It's not a controversial. Or 9-11. Or 9-11. People are just sick of this. Romney, Romney, might have been Genghis Khan. Romney was the worst ever.

That's right. He was going to be so draconian. He would be so anti-Democrats. Are you kidding me? He practically is. He is a Democrat. He is a Democrat. Everybody.

Everybody. They play this nuclear card every time. Every single time. Let me tell you, this is how this is going to end. It's going to end with nothing except an impression. It's going to be a big impression. But it will be. played again. There's going to be something because they, history is not, you know, people say,

history always repeats itself. Let me say it differently. History is repeating itself. This is exactly like the Black Tom event, which pierced and broke every window in lower Manhattan. It's the reason we can't go up into the torch anymore of the Statue of Liberty because the explosion was so big, it actually broke the arm of the Statue of Liberty. And Woodrow Wilson knew exactly what it was. Everybody who was involved knew what it was. It was German terrorism. They came over here to blow up the munitions that we were sending to the Allies for World War I.

They couldn't have those munitions come. So they blew them up just in New Jersey. It destroyed so much. It was a big, big deal. Woodrow Wilson said it was the capitalist that did it. And then it was just brushed aside for a while. And we're looking into it. We're looking into it.

But nothing really happened. And then when FDR needed to round up the Japanese, he used that fear and said, we've just found out what happened in like 1916. We just found out what happened with Black Tom. And it was the Germans. And if the Germans can do that, the Japanese will do it here. So we've got to act on this now. this is just the predecessor of something bigger that is coming and they are building the foundation. Thank you so much, Pat.

Pat Gran leashed, by the way. We do have the Cicnic thing. Do you want to hear this real quick? No, wait until after the commercial, yeah. I want to talk to a little bit about life lock.

clarification on Brian Sicknick, the officer who died from injuries suffered in January 6th riot, which is what they said yesterday. And that's definitely not true. That is not true. Read what the coroner said. Yeah, the chief metal hood examiner

Francisco Diaz told the Washington Post that the autopsy found no evidence that Mr. Sicknick suffered an allergic reaction to the chemical spray or evidence of internal or external injuries, but said, quote, all that transpired played a role. in his condition. Okay, a role in his condition. Right. So there were two people that died of a heart

attack on the protesting side, okay, while they were in the Capitol. They died because they shouldn't have been there. They were not healthy enough for something like this. They start, their heart starts to race. They have a heart attack. Yeah, had heart condition. This guy has, obviously, was prone for a stroke, probably had high blood pressure. It didn't happen to him at the Capitol. It happened to him the day after. So the guy was most likely going to have a stroke anyway because he was prone to that. He could have been out in a, you know, in a situation where he was just arguing with somebody and dropped dead later. Right.

You know, if he had gone to work and stood there and nothing occurred all day, would he have had a stroke? Maybe not. Maybe, maybe not. I think what the coroner is saying, but also saying that, like, he was predisposed to this, something like this happening anyway. Yeah. All he had to do is get his blood pressure to spike. Yeah. And that can happen in today.

Today's world just by listening to the news. So, you know, there was only one person that was killed, and that was a protester killed by a cop. Billed Bar is our sponsor this half hour, and I have to thank Stu. I have to thank Lisa. Well, but you wouldn't know who Lisa was if it wasn't for me. Really? Really? She only married you to get closer to me.

That's a terrible idea. Do not ask her about it because she'll lie to you. She'll lie to you about it. Probably. Anyway, Lisa was turned on to built bars. She turned my wife on to built bars and my wife yacked at me forever. You got to try these built bars. They're really good.

And I don't listen to stuff like that because she's healthy and blah, blah, blah. She's not the person who's going to give you good advice on food or food. Right. Unless it's Italian. This is candy. Yeah. Italians do not make good desserts. So I don't listen to her on anything sweet.

Yeah, not their specialty. No, not their specialty. So I don't listen to her on things that, you know, are sweet and taste good. But everything was out and she was gone someplace and I was hungry. And so I took a Bilt bar out and I ate it. And I was blown away, blown away. And then I hid the fact for a while that she was. Anyway, this is getting far too specific.

Biden's new domestic terrorism threat. you. You need to see something that has just been rubber-stamped and nobody really talked about it. The plan to combat domestic terror from the White House. It is truly terrifying what they're doing. And somebody who has been on this for a long time is a guy who hasn't been on Twitter since January 8th because he was suspended for tweeting about hydroxychloroquine, which I've taken hydroxychloroquine. When I stopped taking it, I got COVID. I don't know. Maybe it's a coincidence.

I don't think so. Anyway, he hasn't been on Twitter, but he has been busy. Why was the FBI monitoring the bank accounts of D.C. residents on January 6th from JudicialWatch.org. Tom Fitton joins us in 60 seconds. Sally wrote in a couple of short but sweet lines about our dog's experience with Rough Green. She says, my dog Bruno now cries because he loves his dog food so much. Rough Greens is amazing. I don't know what that means.

Does he like he's like Adam Schiff over his bowl? He's like, this is so good. Thanks for riding in. But I do want to talk to Bruno here for a moment. Bruno, I don't know exactly what it is with you, but I do frequently cry because I love my food so much. so I don't even put rough greens on my food and I still do that. So I can't imagine what you're going through and just keep it up. It's not dog food.

It's something you sprinkle on the dog food, the supplement that's filled with all of the things that make your dog healthier and happier. Get a free bag of rough greens just for your dog to try out. It's a small little bag. They just want you to try it for a few days to make sure that your dog will eat it and like it. And if they do, then just get a real bag of rough greens and watch the change in your dog over a couple of months. roughgreens.com slash Beck. Roughgreens.com

and Tom, I don't think there is a better phrase than that for what is happening to our country right now. Yeah, it's been ongoing and it's accelerated. with the beginning of the Biden administration that, as you've highlighted, is used January 6th as an excuse to target and spy on all of this political opposition.

And I just don't mean Donald Trump. Their theory of the case is everyone who has questions about the legitimacy of the Biden election, that has questions about election integrity generally or supportive of Trump, conservatives. All these should be treated as if they're terrorists and, quote, enemies of the state as the left-wing New York Times lawyer, excuse me, writer admitted in Twitter yesterday. So let's go through some of the things that the government is doing that are absolutely unconstitutional. and also things that should horrify Americans. I don't know if they don't know about it or if they do, they just don't care, but this is a different country. Talk to me about the different things they did, for instance, Bank of America.

Yeah, and it's not clear if Bank of America did this because they were asked or because they were excited to do it and just volunteered. But they sent over reportedly the financial transaction data, meaning if you use your debit card in D.C. on January 6th or the surrounding area, it was sent over, presumably to the FBI. Airbnb data was sent over. Hotel transaction data was sent over, it looks like. These financial records were poured over by Bank of America and sent to the FBI,

and who knows how many other banks. So we've asked for information from the FBI about what was going on here. and Glenn, they gave us the, they can't confirm or deny the, after denying, after refusing to respond to the request, as the law requires, we sued and they said, well, we can't confirm or deny this information exists, which to me is a non-denial denial. Right. And what right do they have to withhold that information? Well, you know, admitting they have the information is going to be a scandal. The detail of it is another issue. Here we can't even get them to fess up that they were spying on us. We also have a lawsuit against the post office that was targeting social media profiles of individual Americans and examining them.

Who knew your post office had the ability to spy on your social media content? So when they're talking about this select committee on the hill, that's what this is about. And one of the other angles of select committee we all should be concerned about is the fact that Adam Schiff is on it. And they've taken the legal position and litigation with judicial watch that the House of Representatives, specific and Congress generally, has the unbridled ability to subpoena and take your private information, whether it be phone records. In the case of Giuliani, that's exactly what they did or financial information and who knows what else. And without court authorization. So this isn't like how, when did this happen? I mean, this is not legal, right? It's not legal.

Well, they say it is, and no court has restrained them yet. So I fear this January 6th committee, which is a never-ending committee, it's going to be a show trial. There's no date for which it's going to end, so it's going to be a go-to committee for a Lord knows how long, is going to target citizens and groups who oppose. Biden and spy on them by taking their records unconstitutionally, in my view. What are the odds that I'm being spied on? I think the odds are high that you're on the target list. You know, Tucker, the story with Tucker Carlson shows that you should presume you're

being spied on. I tell you what, in my operations, I just presume every phone conversation I have, every email I send is subject to monitoring by the government. I just, I think, you know, it just makes it, and Americans who are active in politics should dissimarily presume it. You just don't have to be a leader. Now we know they're going after citizens. Well, I know that there are senators that I have spoken to that are so paranoid now. They won't speak around any kind of, any kind of device. And they'll only really kind of talk to you outside. And they believe they're absolutely being monitored by our national security apparatus.

Well, we know the NSA is able to pick up virtually everything. Yeah. And the issue comes down to who utilizes the intelligence that the NSA has in a box. Who goes rooting around in that box? We already know that the Biden administration is run by a man who did it to General Flynn in unmasking him. There's been no, there's been, there's been no sanction for anyone who's unmanned, anyone during the Obama administration in abuse of the law. And that's actually what happened to Tucker Carlson. We found out now that he was unmasked.

But that's a very big deal. To unmask someone is a very difficult, should be a very difficult thing to do. Used to be. Well, under the, excuse me, under the Obama administration, they treated that information as, a Google-type search function to go through on issues related to their political enemies. So if you pop up on the radar, if you say or do the wrong thing that gets the intention of the wrong people in Washington, D.C., we now know they have access to information, and they can use it with virtually no check. Even when we know catch them doing it, we can't get the Justice Department to do anything about it.

Where's, you know, it goes back to where's Durham, which is a shorthand way of saying is, where's the Justice Department, where's law enforcement, and why is it that they refuse to enforce the rule of law against the corrupt political class here in Washington, D.C.? So we know that Bank of America, whether they volunteered or were asked to do it, they looked into all of the transactions, bank account, debit card, credit card purchases in Washington, D.C., purchases made from hotels or Airbnb, RSVPs in D.C., Maryland and Virginia, any purchase of weapons or at a weapons-related merchant between 1-7 and the upcoming suspected stay in D.C. Airline-related purchases since 1-6.

And they put all these together. You know, I remember when they told us we could do this probably about 2006 that they could they could string a whole bunch of information together that was supposedly anonymized for terrorists. And they could just put it all together and they could tell when somebody had moved from one house to another because of the water usage went down. That's what they're doing to these people, to anybody who is in Washington, D.C. And it's one thing to say, we saw this person commit an act,

or we have information that this person committed an act. It's another thing to do this dragnet where everyone gets caught up in the surveillance state and has their information perused. And, you know, we've seen the stories that I'm sure you've covered of people having difficulty travel, traveling, even though they've done nothing wrong other than maybe attend the rally on January 6th. We are becoming China. China is the model. we are putting in restrictions where they can control every part of your life.

Have you? And we have a committee in the House that is a one-party committee. So when we worry about one-party states, we have a one-party operation that is now investigating the exercise of civil liberties by American citizens in terms of right to assembly, right to freedom of association, and other First Amendment protected rights. there's no representative of the other party in our system on that committee. And the folks who are responsible for some of this China-like surveillance, i.e. Adam Schiff, are on the committee and they know what to do. Is there a way to turn this around? I think we need a change and approach from our leadership in the elected level. My concern is the leadership of the House and the Senate don't care about these issues.

They talk about them, but they don't care about them. McConnell doesn't even talk about them. And we don't have effective leadership on the hill to highlight these issues in the grave way they need to be highlighted. I mean, I just saw a piece in Politico the other day when a national security official, I think in the White House, was talking about how Second Amendment gun rights are a national security issue. I know. We don't want the wrong people. We don't want the wrong people getting guns. guns. And we know, and their definition of the wrong people is people who don't vote for Biden.

And zero interest in Congress for doing this. And there's got to be an escalation in Congress, an accountability, and a penalty for abusing, for, A, the government abusing our rights from the executive branch and policing Congress. Have you been following the... Why isn't there a demonstration in front of the Capitol Hill Police Department? Be transparent. the Whitmer kidnapping case and the FBI's involvement there is no way anyone reasonable can read that and think that that was anything other than a plot hatched and and furthered by the FBI have you looked into that case is there much credibility to that and were they doing that on January 6th. Well, we are looking into it. And what's interesting about January 6th is that the

information is kind of already out there. I went and looked on the Justice Department's website, and you can read the documents they post, and one of the folks they targeted the information that was presented to the court by the Justice Department discussed a D.C. undercover police employee monitoring the riot. Not only was he there beforehand talking to the targets, but he was also on the Capitol grounds. So they had an undercover informant for the D.C. police on the grounds during the riot. I haven't seen that anywhere. And to me, where there's more, when you have that type of activity, you can bet there's additional activity that's not disclosed. Sure. And that would also make you question, then why weren't you prepared for it?

Well, and that's why Nancy Pelosi, if I were in Congress and with Democrat or Republican, and I was in fear for my life for one minute because of a failure of security that that person is responsible for, the Speaker of the House, she wouldn't be Speaker of the House. Tom Fitton, thank you so much for all that you guys do. Keep fighting. By the way, are you still off Twitter because of your choice or because they just not letting you? back on Twitter? It's partly choice, partly I'm locked out.

They tell me if I delete the accurate and truthful tweet, I can go back on in theory. And what did you tweet about hydroxychloroquine? I said hydroxychloroquine is a safe drug. It is a safe drug. It's been around for 100 years. It is a safe drug. They had told me that tweet was fine. They had previously analyzed the tweet and said it wasn't in violation of the rules.

And they since decided it's in violation of their rules. and they've called me an abuser of the system. I don't even know how to respond to that other than, you know, if I go back on, will they destroy my account completely? Unbelievable. Tom, thank you so much. Appreciate it. God bless.

American financing NMLS-182334, or www. nmLS consumer access.org. So Brian just wrote in after hearing me talk about American financing, and he wanted to share how gratefully was and what his experience was like with American financing.

He said, I heard about American financing on Blaze TV, made my inquiry on the web, and was contacted by Scott. He and his associates were extremely helpful in accommodating. He answered all of my questions. He made me feel comfortable during the entire process of refi. in the end, I lowered my monthly mortgage payment and got a lowered interest rate. I'd recommend American financing to anyone who needs the services that they are offering. Thank you so much.

Brian, thanks for writing in. Thank you for giving American financing a chance to help you reach your financial goals. It's really that easy. You want to save money? You're probably overpaying. When's the last time you had a free mortgage review? Please do this. You can save hundreds, if not $1,000, every single month.

It's American financing. 800 906 2440, 8009062440 or Americanfinancing.net. 10 seconds, station ID. This police state is being built as we speak, and it is happening rapidly, rapidly. Tonight, on my Wednesday night special, only on Blaze TV, I'm focusing on an alarming strategy from the White House. It's not a conspiracy theory. I don't have to put it all together. it's right there.

Something that America barely even noticed when it was released last month. The media just rubber stamps everything. But it was put together by the National Security Council, and it is a blueprint for sweeping government action called the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism. It doesn't focus on BLM and TFA, doesn't ransomware, none of that stuff. it is just focusing on the greatest national threat, quote, violent extremists, principally those who promote the superiority of the white race, end quote.

Well, I want violent extremist and anybody who's promoting the superiority of the white race or the black race, hmm, seems to be a few of those too. I think they're dangerous. And if they are violent, they should be arrested. but this White House strategy is disturbing because it is as if we have no constitutional rights. They are already using surveillance systems and turning their focus on the U.S. It talks about how they're going to use high tech and gives all their rationale, and it is truly, truly terrifying, and you must be aware of it.

I want people who commit crimes to go to jail, and I don't care who they voted for. I want them to go to jail. This is a blueprint for big government and big tech to surveil, root out, and silence America's, quote, deplorables, all in the name of anti-terror.

Axios calls this guy the FCC's 5G crusader. He has led the FCC's work to modernize. the infrastructure rules and accelerate the build out of high-speed networks. His reforms have cut billions of dollars in red tape and enabled the private sector to build these high-speed networks in communities all across the country and extend America's global leadership in 5G. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a lot of people in Washington, at least with this

administration that want to see America win the 5G race. That's a topic for another broadcast. His name is Brendan Carr, and he is an FCC commissioner, and we need good commissioners on the FCC. A jeet pie has left. Brendan, how are you? I'm doing great. Really good to join you.

Thanks for having me. Thank you. Thank you. You are suggesting something, and I think this, I don't know if it started. with you or who it started with. I know that Marco Rubio has been talking about restoring the internet to Cuba. And there is a way we can do this, but it requires the government and Google to participate, correct? Yeah, some of that is right. So, you know, look, in Cuba, we're seeing unprecedented protests. And what we see around the globe now is the first thing people do when they

take to the street to fight for liberty is they take out their smartphone. They take pictures. They take video because the thing that brutal dictatorships like least is the attention of the world. Correct. Spotlight on their brutality. So we've seen this in Iran. We've seen it in Venezuela. We've seen it in Myanmar. So the first thing that people do is they take their phone out. The first thing the dictators do is they shut down the internet. Now, they don't cut the internet entirely because that would cut off their own communications. They block access to WhatsApp and Facebook and messaging services so those pictures and videos can't get out there. So what I said, what others have said,

like you mentioned, Senator Rubio, Governor DeSantis, is we should look for ways to restore the nation of the brutal Cuban regime, which is its end. And there's two ways we can do it. We can introduce new services, new internet services from off island. That can take some time. There's some logistical challenges to be sure, but we have the technical capacity to do that. And track two is we should bolster support for circumvention tools so that people can continue

to use the internet services on the island and just get around the filtering, which, by the way, the filtering has all the digital fingerprints of the communist regime of China. So they were very much involved in helping Cuba shut down Internet services. And didn't Facebook and everybody else, they did this in Egypt. They did this for the Arab Spring. They actually helped foment that revolution and made sure that people knew how to use it and gain access to it. Now it doesn't see, is anybody, have you heard of any high tech, I mean, of the biggest, high tech, are any of them saying we got to join in and help these people?

It's been pretty quiet from what I've seen. You know, former Secretary Pompeo sent out a tweet a week or so ago saying that the government and others went in in Iran and helped bolster internet services during the protest there. I mean, we have the technical capacity to do it. And it's simply a question of, do we have the political will at the highest levels of this administration to green light these efforts? If we do that, American enterprises can deliver these solutions to the Cuban people and show our support for them. And President Biden initially came out with some positive words. We're going to look at this.

But it's over two weeks. And we haven't seen any action at this point. And, you know, I'm very concerned that we're not going to see action. So, you know, this is just a question of political will. It's not a question of technical capacity. Yeah. And is Project Loon, which was a Google project, I believe, in Kenya, which sends this like you know,

tennis court-sized tower up over the country, way above where airplanes are flying. And it just kind of hovers there and kind of acts as a receiver to pass that message along.

Easily, we could probably do it with two of these things because Florida is so close. Do I have that right? You're exactly right. So this is what I call that Track one idea, which is how do we introduce new services into Cuba from off island? There's a variety of technological ways you can do it, and you put your finger on one of them. Google Loom had this operation where they put up stratospheric balloons. These go 60 to 75,000 feet above the air.

You can actually keep them relatively static over a geographic area, given the way that the winds circulate at those levels. I've been to Kenya myself to see this technology in action. It works. We at the FCC authorized this technology. in 2017, after a hurricane wiped out communications in Puerto Rico, seven to eight of these balloons went up, circled around Puerto Rico, and helped beam services into that community. And we saw it in Peru, after some natural disasters, these balloons went up.

There's other technologies. We could beam Wi-Fi off of the U.S. Embassy in Havana. Previously, we had inserted satellite-powered internet devices into Cuba. The advantage of these high-altitude balloons, as you point out, as you can stay, in international airspace can beam directly from the balloon to a handset back from the handset to the balloon. And to your point, given the geographic distance to marathon or the keys, you can beam right from the balloon back to the internet in the U.S. So that's the advantage of the balloon. And frankly, we need it now in Cuba.

But we also need this, I think, as a strategic capability for this country. We've always had, you know, Radio Free Asia, Radio Marti that broadcast into Cuba. but the modern day equivalent of broadcasting information into countries that aren't free is to enable the free unfiltered use of the Internet in those countries. So I think we need this as a long-term strategic capability as well. It's a lot better than obviously putting troops on the ground as well. Sure. And it's, I mean, with the way things are going, quite honestly,

we might need one for, you know, suppression here in America. What is being done is craziness, craziness. This is amazing. I mean, look, we cannot be speaking out of both sides of our mouth. At the one point, we're saying brutal regimes like Cuba, you can't filter, you can't censor the internet. At the same time that we have this White House, Jen Saki, out there saying, oh, yeah, we've been coordinating with big tech to censor American speech.

We can't do that. We need to be very clear that we believe in a free, open, uncensored internet for our own American people here and for other people abroad. And so I think we should go forward, and whether it's through legislation or otherwise make very clear that government official should not be calling up big tech companies and asking them to put a thumb on the scale against speech they don't like because let's get real. It's not about misinformation. It's not about disinformation. It's about political speech that doesn't fit the narrative of the people that are bombing in with these phone calls. Is it possible to privately do this?

I mean, you know, we can just this audience, and that's not involving the Cuban population in America, We could fund that privately. I doubt Google would take our check, but is there a way to do this privately? Well, on the track one stuff, so Google shuttered Loon in the beginning of the year because it wasn't a great commercial product. People weren't going to drop Verizon or AT&T for these balloon services, but I think it's a strategic capability for the country, the commercial viability is less of a concern. But the track two stuff we talk about, which is the circumvention tools.

There's a lot of open source applications out there that the Cuban people are using right now. Those technologies need additional funding. And we're not talking billions of dollars. We're talking one to three to six million dollars. So there are some efforts underway to try to use private sector funding to bolster these technologies. I can't endorse any one particular company or direct people towards those crowdfunding sites given, you know, limits on me as a government official. But there are private sector ways that people could donate money so that these circumvention tools continue to work. and the people of Cuba can continue to get those pictures and videos out to the world.

You know, I loved Jeet Pie, and I've done this, I've done broadcast for 45 years, and I can't even remember a name of an FCC chairman before. Maybe I did during Reagan, but Ajit was amazing, and I thought we were headed in the right direction with the FCC under Donald Trump. And now it looks like, you guys are the only. one standing between real freedom of the internet and net neutrality, because it's back, isn't it? You know, look, President Biden issued a quote-a-quote competition executive order a week or so

ago, and it included a direction, basically, to us at the FCC to go back to Obama-era net neutrality rules. The reality is, you know, 2015, 2016, America had flatlined in terms of the United States. of our buildout of high-speed internet infrastructure, including cell sites. In 2016, we had something like 7008 new cell sites go up in this country. After we engage in reforms under, you know, Ajit's leadership and me working with him, we had 46,000 new cell sites go in in 2019. So it's 65-fold increase because we got, you know, all of that regulatory red tape out of the way. So I'm very concerned that we're going to go back to this Obama-era approach. And it's as if they don't

understand the real threat to a free and open internet today. It's not coming from the ISPs. We don't have neutrality today, at least under their conception of it, and we don't see blocking and throttling by ISPs, but we do see is blocking and censorship by big tech. And if you really care about a free and open internet, the problem you need to tackle today is a censorship happening by Facebook, by Twitter, by these providers, not by the ISP. How close are we to really being a leader in 5G compared to? I can't remember the name of Huawei. I mean, we are in the fight of our life with Huawei.

You know, we were behind. Again, 2015, 2016, people were basically counting the U.S. out. But when we modernized our infrastructure rules because it had been costing too much and took too long to build infrastructure for the Internet here, things boomed. And we leapfrog ahead of many, many countries. And we now have the strongest 5G platform in the world. If you don't have it in your particular community, the data may be meaningless to you, but the data does show us that we're doing well.

But I am concerned that we are not going to continue to keep the pedal down when it comes to allowing new internet infrastructure bills, when it comes to getting the spectrum out there that we need to power these 5G services. So the good news is we made great progress. We're in good shape right now. but I'm worried that we're going to let off the gas, and then, you know, China's going to take advantage of that. Elon Musk's satellite service is amazing. Absolutely amazing. Is this, what do you think of that business? Does that have a future far as litigation? Is there anything that can shut him down on this?

This is a really interesting technology. I was just out in Washington State visiting the manufacturing plant where they make. these low-earth orbit satellites. And the idea is that you can put these, you know, satellites up hundreds of them, and they're going to get you almost sort of fiber-like speeds anywhere, almost anywhere in the globe. And we are pretty hopeful. We're not putting all our eggs in that basket. We're looking at other technologies, other ways to bridge the digital divide. But we think this could be a good technology. We've authorized them. We've funded them in terms of building out in areas where they're sort of rural and remote. So, It could be a game changer.

We'll see. It hasn't quite gone to scale yet. It just isn't there as a timeline. They're still building it out. But we're hopeful that it's going to be a key part of bridging the digital divide. Brendan Carr, the FCC commissioner, it is good to talk to you. And please let us know about any threats to our constitutional protected rights to free speech and petitioning our government. We need good guys on the inside.

that are alerting because there's just so much going on that nobody can pay attention to all of it. Thank you so much, Brendan. Appreciate it. Thanks, Glenn. You bet. You can follow him at Brendan Carr, FCC, or find him at FCC.gov. Brendan Carr, the FCC commissioner. I think this is something that we really need to pursue. I think the Project Loon is a really, really, I don't know why.

I mean, I think we should be speaking up and asking, congressmen and senators like Rubio, how can we help you? What do we need to do to get the government to approve that? We've already done it before. Why are we not doing it for Cuba? More in just a second. First, let me tell you about AMAC. I'm a proud member of AMAC.

That's the Association of Mature American Citizens. And I want to tell you why. There are a couple of things that are going on. Amac, you get the benefits. You'll get the benefits that you'll get any place else with a seniors group, if you will. Or mature Americans. I don't call them seniors anymore.

And welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Mr. Ben Shapiro. Talking about the growing authoritarian state and his new book in 60 seconds. Real estate agents, I trust, is the place to go if you're going to take a plunge into the real estate game anytime soon. It is crazy. What's happening in the market is crazy. The new homes are not selling anymore. They're kind of back to the way they were when we were first getting into COVID. Nobody is buying them because they've gotten so overpriced. However, your home, an existing home, those sales are still up. So, you're

You have to be careful on the buying and the selling of your home. Simple fact is this. You need more than just a real estate agent. You need somebody who's going to do more than just, you know, show you listings or show your house. You need somebody who is full-time driven to succeed, helping you succeed, who knows the best practices that make that happen. We have a whole list of those people all over the country and it's a free service to you. If you're buying or selling, whether you're moving across the street, across town, or across the country, real estate agents I trust can find the right real estate agent for you.

Real estate agents I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust.com. Mr. Ben Shapiro is joining us. He is the intellectual powerhouse of the right now and been a friend for many, many years. I respect him. And he is the one guy who writes a lot of books. that I will always read his books because they are always really well thought out, intellectually solid, and never go for cheap shots. Mr. Ben Shapiro, how are you, sir? Hey, June. Okay, how are you? I'm good. I'm good. I'm excited. I haven't read your new book, but I've heard you talk about

it an awful lot. I listened to your podcast. When was it last night when you were doing the book signings? And I want to actually take you through some of the things that you played, some of these authoritarian moments as we go. But first, give the setup of the book. What are you talking about in it? So basically, the book begins with looking at January 6th, which the left has declared is the authoritarian moment in modern American history, that the democracy is on the verge of being overthrown,

that Donald Trump is this great authoritarian figure, and that the right is the true threat to American freedom. And then I ask people to analyze, you know, what exactly happened on January 6th and beyond? because what really happened is that a breakway group, a much larger group, committed criminal activity. They were all arrested. They're all going to go to jail. And within three hours, order had been restored and the government went on as though nothing had happened.

Then in the immediate aftermath of that, AWS Amazon Web Services, be platformed power alert completely. Most major Democrats started calling for significant curbs on First Amendment freedoms. He started to see neutral service providers talking about cracking down on quote unquote extremism. Donald Trump was thrown off all the social media platform. corporations started to put out statements basically suggesting that you had to mirror particular political viewpoints on January 6th, or corporations said we're just not going to give donations to anybody who questioned the results of the election, even though they would certainly not be the same with Democrats. So the question is, if you're talking about actual authoritarian threats, then who's actually threatening, right?

Who are the institutions that are threatening? And I think that we know the answer, and the answer is not the capital building. the people who are a true threat to your way of life right now are the people at the head of every major institution, ranging from the scientific institutions to the educational institutions to your corporate bosses, they wreck their life in some pretty significant ways even outside of the offices of government. You know, we have been pretty close to this point before with Woodrow Wilson, but you can excuse the American people at the time to some degree because authoritarianism was this new idea. and with the progressives using science and saying, look, it's a whole new age.

You know, we came from farmers and now we're in the scientific age and anything is possible. You can kind of dismiss it. But what Joe Biden is doing right now, a lot of this really comes from the Woodrow Wilson playbook. And I think it's just as racist and just as nasty as when he was doing it. I mean, I think that when Joe Biden goes around saying, knowing full all that he's lying, that voter ID laws are akin to Jim Crow racism, or that what happened on January 6th is the worst insurrection that we've seen in the United States since the Civil War, or that Republicans Broad Ridd are just trying to return us to the days of the Civil War.

I mean, this kind of stuff is extremely ugly. It's extremely divisive. It is the opposite of what he promised that he was going to be when he became president, right, which is this sort of unifying moderate figure. He's not been any of those things. I think what's going on truly unjustifiable is not just that we've seen the consequences of this sort of activity before. It's that at least you can say that during Woodrow Wilson's administration, we were in the middle of a world war. And during FDR's administration, we're in the middle of another world war.

Right now, we are involved in zero major wars anywhere around the world. We're the unchallenged global hegemon. And yet we're carrying ourselves apart internally going after dissenters, which is kind of a unique thing. Oh, I think we are at war. The America is at war, but it's at war with itself. I mean, it's completely lost its way. because we've had people teaching our children for a while now that we're a horrible, horrible place.

And I don't know if people are buying it or not. I mean, they usually buy these things. I want to take you to one of the authoritarian moments. This is from 1933. It's a parade. Tell me why this is important. In September 1933, the government sponsored a spectacular parade of New York's Fifth Avenue to promote an unprecedented federal effort,

the National Recovery Administration. Roosevelt called the NRA a partnership in planning between government and industry. Its goal to speed recovery by establishing profit levels for business and wage levels for labor. In a show of national solidarity, more than 2 million employers across the country

promised to abide by the NRA codes. Russia hails victory in Moscow's Red Square during her Mayday parade. We'll get to that other clip in a minute. So tell me why that parade was important. So the General Goldberg talks a lot about this in liberal fascism, but the sort of economically fascist system was reliance on private businesses being overseen and working in cahoots with big government. And big government would essentially charter these industries and then tell them what to do.

An industrial magnates said, well, I guess better than the communists. and then they would go along with it. Well, the National Recovery Administration was an effort overtly by the federal government to force businesses into doing what they want, and you were supposed to put a symbol up in your window, the Blue Eagle. You were supposed to put it up in your window, and Americans were literally supposed to boycott businesses that think that we can see some pretty resonant echoes of that today in modern American politics

when you have the going on corporations, social media companies, for example, to know maybe there needs to be an astroof-buoycott of particular businesses if they refuse to do that. We saw results of this when Major League Baseball just, pulled out of Georgia, for example. We're talking to Ben Shapiro, author of the brand new book that's out today, The Authoritarian Moment. I think it's even more clear with ESG scores.

I mean, this is the government getting into bed with global corporations, banks now providing a ESG score. And if you're not playing ball with the government and with, you know, the environmentalist and social justice members, your score will go down. And in Europe, they're now proposing that, you cannot do business with any business that has a lower ESJ score than you do. Yeah. I mean, you see it also in places like California that have attempted to actually pass

laws leveraging people onto boards of corporations. If your corporation is large enough, then we now have to put a certain number of people of particular races or sexual orientations on the board of the corporation. This is truly totalitarian stuff. And what's even more totalitarian in effect is that the corporations then shovel this garbage down on the people who work for the corporation. corporation. So it's easy, you know, Glenn, you're able to speak freely because that's what you do for a living. I'm able to do it because that's what I do for a living. They can threaten

our living, but they're never going to be able to take away all of our livings. We have too many people who are interested in hearing what we have to say. But if you're just a guy working in a corporation, it's very easy for the corporation to get you to mirror their prescriptions because you've got to put food on the table for your family. Well, that's the thing that I like about this book is you're not just coming with the problems. You actually have the solution. And I think the way you have phrased this is really appealing. I've been talking about Martin Luther King, I hate boycotts. And I know you do too. Stu does. But Martin Luther King says, if we wouldn't have done the boycott, if we wouldn't have had the teeth, it wouldn't

have worked. We wouldn't have had the Civil Rights Act passed. And they are coming after us. And we just keep taking it. And we don't come after any of the companies that are shoveling this crap. Explain your position on this. So I'm with you. I hate boycotts. I mean, I'm in an industry where you and I are routinely hit by people trying to go after our advertisers. But here's the reality. There has to be a mutually assured destruction here. These corporations are only caving to one side. There's a tremendous asymmetry.

You'll see a corporation that receives 10 tweets. And then you'll get a call from your ad broker saying, well, they've removed their advertising because they got 10 tweets. And the answer to that isn't, oh, well, you know, their private business, they can do what they want. They can. But they can also feel the blowback from the other side. And so what we've done at our company, for example, is we've said to advertisers, openly, quite openly, that if you want to advertise on our show, you can pull your advertising

any time you want, but you're not allowed to announce it publicly. If you do announce it publicly, you're going to have to pass out. And not only that, you understand that if you make a public statement about our shows or our audience, we'll go to war with you. I mean, this is, we cannot, when we think our brand value in, you know, dealing with advertisers that we believe in, and you don't get to just undercut us that way with our own audience without us blowing back on you. And I think that broadly speaking, that's what the right needs to do at this point. If you're going to see MLB pull out of Atlanta, then they need to feel it in the ratings. If the NFL starts to go woke, they need to feel it in the ratings.

Because I would prefer that we go back to neutrality, but we're never getting back to neutrality unless the left learns that this stuff is bad. And this really is important. You talk about this with offices. You know, so many people just feel they're alone, and they're not alone. They're in the majority. but nobody's afraid, everybody's afraid to say something and you don't know who to trust. And so they just go in and they abide by these stupid things that they have to do, you know, examine their whiteness at Coca-Cola, et cetera, et cetera.

And you're suggesting that they form a coalition. Right. I mean, this is what we have to understand about how these institutions weren't left in the first place. It wasn't because of the broad majority of these institutions in favor of these radical left policies. because you have to be 10, 15, 20% of the people at any given corporation who are very loud and very intransigent. And then you have a bunch of people in the middle who just say, well, it's easier to give in to them than to fight them. And do we really want the headache? Well, you can do the same thing from the opposite point of view.

You can renormalize an institution. If you have 20% of the corporation that says, listen, we just want to be neutral here. And it won't be 20. It'll be more like 50. And you get those people to sign a letter to the corporate head saying, listen, we're not doing this, this whiteness is bad, diversity training with Robin DiAngelo, down since. we're not going to do it. We think that it's bad and we're not willing to do it. Then the corporation has to decide between the 50% and the 20% right now, the corporation is deciding between the 20% and the 0% if people don't get mobilized and unified. Explain your theory on veganism because I think this is a great example.

Yeah, so I mean, to give full credit to the person who kind of gives this metaphor, Nissen Nicholas Talib, his metaphor is basically, let's say that you have a family of four and one of the members of the family, usually the daughter, comes, comment says, I'm a vegan today. And because I'm a vegan, mom, I need you to make me a vegan meal. And so mom now has a decision. She can make a meat meal for the rest of the family and a vegan meal for the daughter. Or she can say to the whole family, listen, I don't have time, we're all eating vegan tonight. Well, now the daughter has successfully renormalized the family. The entire family is now eating vegan because you had one intransigent person who just refused to budge. Now you can take that entire family. There's a block party that night. Maybe three other families there. They go to the people throwing the block party. They say, listen,

we're all eating vegan because our daughter is eating vegan. You can give us a separate meal, that's fine, but we're just not going to eat the meat. Now the person who has to decide whether to make a couple of separate meals. And maybe she says, it's one night who cares. People can deal with vegan for one night. And now you've got 16, 20 people who are all eating vegan because one person wasn't transgender about eating vegan. The same thing holds true in politics, and you see this all the time. This is true in corporations. This is a tyranny of the minority. Support for the thing, usually about 15, 20 percent inside an organization. Two, you need to have them asking for incremental, non-supremely radical things. So this is what the left does. They don't go

right away to. We need Robin DeAngelo teaching you the whiteness is bad. They start with, we need diversity training. Are you against diversity? Why don't you like diversity? Diversity is good. Are you racist? Diversity training really has to encompass teaching about the systemic racism of the American systems. And don't you think that systems have histories? And then they move from systemic racism to, well, you know, if we're going to acknowledge systemic racism, we'd be a beneficiary of white privilege. And if you're a beneficiary of white privilege, this means you suffer from whiteness. You can see the sort of step-by-step in growth. But the key is you don't go zero to 100 all at once. You start by slowly the pedal gets to the metal. Most people have to be acclimated to it.

And if every concession seems like a minor concession, pretty soon you move the really long way. And this is true for virtually every social issue in the United States. I mean, how many go from a time when Americans were, you know, thinking that no fault divorce was controversial to, men can be women and women can be men. I mean, it doesn't happen overnight. That takes a while, but it takes a lot of conciliation. It takes a lot of cowardice, and it takes a lot of incrementalism. The book that is out today is the authoritarian moment with Ben Shapiro, more with him in 60 seconds.

I buy precious metals like gold and silver for a couple of reasons. I'm a collector of antique things, and these are antique coins, but also as a hedge against insanity. gold always is the is the the the the fault or the default when everything has gone insane and there's nothing left we were set to gold case you haven't noticed there's an awful lot of insanity on the menu these days federal government is spending the US dollar into the ground and it's I mean it's predictable we're not the phrase history repeats itself is not the right phrase history is not the right phrase history is repeating itself right now. Goldline is giving away free silver with their extremely popular $5 gold Indian coins. With every qualifying order, you'll receive 10 brilliant, uncirculated

Silver Kennedy, half dollars at no additional cost. It's a great special on an already low-cost item. If you're thinking about gold or silver, this is the perfect promotion for you from Goldline. They're standing by to talk to you about it. No pressure. Just get the information. 866 Goldline, 866 Goldline, or go to goldline.com. 10 seconds, station ID. Robert Reich just tweeted out, in November 1923, Hitler's attempted coup failed, but no one was held accountable.

Yeah, they were. He went to prison. Ten years later, he took over Germany. Trump's January 21 coup failed, but six and a half months later, Trump faces no consequences, and his co-conspirators are still in Congress. Is Trump an authoritarian, I mean, it was what he was actually able to get done.

I think that Trump has, he tends to use some strong man rhetoric because that's just how he talks. Right. But, you know, in terms of what did he actually do, the answer to is no. I mean, this is why I was hysterically funny and pathetic when General Millie was talking about how this was like a Reichstagfire situation and he's a Hitlerian figure. It's like, what? I mean, you know how historically ignorant you have to be in order to come up with that? First of all, it doesn't even make any internal sense. The Rasstagfair was set by a deranged communist.

and used as an excuse by the Nazis in order to pass the Enabling Act. So what was Trump's theory there? I'm going to send some of my friends over to set the Capitol on fire so I can then, what, declare myself total dictator? That doesn't even work internally. Beyond that, there was no institutional support for anything that Trump was saying or doing. And beyond that, this is not Nazi Germany, circa 1932. I mean, the reality of Hitler's rise is so wildly misunderstood.

People have to understand that when it comes to Hitler's rise, the key factor in Hitler's rise, There were two major key factors in Hitler's rise, but people tend. Hitler was pushing against the communists at the time, and so there were a lot of people who felt the necessity to choose one and the other. And the other is that it had already been centralized, a term dictator. They'd already been operating under the auspices of minority governments

with nearly dictatorial powers. Right. Several years, but in time, not the case with regard to President Trump in any way, shape, or form. So the historical analogy just doesn't work in any way, but I guess if you say Hitler and over and over, then a president who was attempting to, cut regulations and lower taxes.

It suddenly looks like the guy who was trying to imprison every Jew and gaspum and invade half of Europe. I mean, that's a, it's the God's-in-law argument. You know you've lost when you started voting Hitler. I want to take you to the Old Testament here for a second. And when God wants to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, two angels go in. And the amazing thing about this story is they're taken in for shelter. And the mob doesn't, the mob is in.

not that they come out and and say everything is okay what you're doing instead they must participate in what gomorrah and sodom and gomorra are doing and we're at that point now it's it's it's no longer hey just let's be good to each other hey that kind of hurts my feelings maybe don't say that now it's you must say the things i believe and you must participate in it yeah that's one of the more disturbing things that happened is the way the left is one here is, again, a sort of incremental three-step process. Step one was saying to people, you know, you need to be civil. Just be civil.

You know, like when we have a political conversation, don't mention this inconvenient fact because it really insults me and I feel bad about it, so just don't do that. And people on the right, and Americans generally tend to want to be civil. And so they're like, okay, I guess I just don't say this quote-unquote offensive thing. Then it turned into, well, speech itself is violent. If you go ahead and you say that, it's not just that I'm offended, it's that you have done an active violence against me and you must be shut up. You must be silenced.

And then that turned even further into silence. is violence. This is a nonsensical, ridiculous thing that you heard during the Black Lives Matter protest last year. If you don't mirror exactly what I am saying, word for word, and I can change it on the dime, by the way, right? It doesn't have to be consistent. There doesn't have to be an internal logic. If you don't mirror that word for word, you've committed an act of violence. So in other words, if you're not part of the mob, then you ought to be targeted by the mob because we're constantly looking for the through line for the left. We're constantly saying, like, what's their internal logic? What are they trying to accomplish? And the answer is power.

There is no internal logic. Yeah, yeah. Ben Shapiro, thank you so much. I'd love to have you on for a podcast about the book when we have more time. I know you're busy today. The book comes out today, the authoritarian moment by Ben Shapiro. Ben, thanks so much. God bless. Thanks, Glenn. You go. Bye-bye. A really good book. The things that I've learned just from hearing him talk about it. And he goes into history in the book. Pick it up today. Now, exactly what Ben was talking about was we have to have them hear our voices. We have to have these people who are working against us. Here are voices. And it's hard to do in some categories, but not when it comes to your mobile service.

When it comes to your mobile service, why are you still using Verizon? Why are you still using the people that take their money and fund anti-second amendment, pro-abortion stuff? Why are we doing this? Patriot Mobile has the broadest nationwide coverage. It uses the same cell towers as the major carriers. So you're getting the same service. But they also have plans that fit any budget. You're going to get better customer service.

You're going to save money. And you're not, you're sending a message. Do you hear me now? Stop it. I'm not with you. PatriotMobil.com slash back. call 972 Patriot. Patriot mobile.com slash back.

This is the Glenn Beck program tonight on my Wednesday, special only on Blaze TV. I'm focusing on an alarming new strategy from the White House. It is something that no one is really talking about and everyone should be talking about. Big media has just rubber-stamped this idea and it was put together

by the National Security Council under Biden and it is a blueprint for sweeping government action and it's called the National Strategy for countering domestic terrorism. It's on the Whitehouse.gov website. And what it spells out is terrifying. It focuses really only on, quote, violent extremists, principally those who promote the superiority of the white race. This has untold implications for the constitutional rights of all Americans. We're already seeing government surveillance systems turning their focus on U.S. citizens.

what has happened because of January 6th is obscene. They have used the banking system. They have used the airlines. And only if you were in Washington, D.C., not because you were suspected of something, but anyone who bought an airline ticket and was in Washington, D.C., anybody whose credit card went through to process anything in Washington, D.C. They got Airbnb to be involved.

This is all unconstitutional. tonight Biden's new domestic terrorism threat you tonight 9 p.m. Eastern only on blaze TV.com and blaze TV YouTube don't miss this make sure you use the promo code back or is it Glenn Glenn yeah Glenn Glenn use the promo code Glenn and safe

right after a brand new stew does America oh my gosh by the way is it must be an important show you look kind of nervous. I've noticed you got the jitters. You don't normally have that before broadcast. You know, you're not really a friend. Do you know that? You're not really a friend. I share things off air and you take it right on air. Well, I am a friend and I'm concerned because I've been doing a, I've been doing the show with you for over 20 years now. Yeah. Yeah. I was with you in the lead up to a speech in front of 500,000 people in Washington, D.C. Right. And I remember being in the room as you as you wrote that speech.

Uh-huh. And you were incredibly calm. She didn't show one side of nerves. And then here's a show, a Wednesday show on Blaze TV. I know it's a good show right after a brand new studios America, but you seem a little nervous about some upcoming event. I can only assume it's this

Wednesday show. Is there anything else? Well, it is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. So nothing else going on this week. I know you got a Friday show. Is it the Friday show, maybe? You're such a jerk. I tell Stu off the air. You know I'm a next event guy. And I don't know if any, I have to explain that.

I only am concerned about what is next on my schedule because my schedule is usually so full that I can't worry about stuff. I've got to focus on what I'm focused on. So I only get excited or anything when it's next on my schedule. Right. This is so far from next on my schedule. It's ridiculous. I have three shows to produce and two charity events before Saturday. Why, what Saturday?

Is there something going on Saturday? Yeah, I'm having my first gallery showing at Park City Fine Art. And I may need a bucket, a barf bucket, because I am so nervous. This is hilarious because Glenn is, I've done shows with Glenn for a million years. You're never nervous before shows. Like when you have to go out and talk in front of a big audience, you've done it a million times. I just did it at CPAC. I just did it at CPAC.

Two hours before I hadn't written my speech and they were like, are you going to write anything down? I'm like, nah, I got it. I got it. You do shows in front of millions of people, obviously on the radio,

on television all the time. This show is going to be in front of a few people. And I'm terrified. And it's selling your art and showing your art to people who may want to purchase it. You want to enjoy it. They can get a, they've got prints and,

all sorts of things you could do you rightly get. Yeah. But your art is is really good, unfortunately. I would like to say that it sucks. I would like to say this is a Hunter Biden situation that you're clearly selling this for some sort of influence. But your art is really good and people seem to really like it, which I don't like that.

Right. To be clear. I don't like that. That goes to why you're saying this, what you're saying now. This is why I'm legitimately curious why you're worried. I mean, you've, people have, the reaction is already. really positive to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't know if people are going to show up. I don't know

if people show up are, I know people will show up to be supportive and I love that. Thank you. But I'm going to, you're going to make me barf. I don't know if anybody's going to buy it. I have no idea, no idea. And it's like, this is so personal. I have no experience at this at all. I was talking to somebody and they said, do you have like business cards away for people? to get in touch with you to be able and I'm like no I've worked for you for you for 20 years I don't know how to get in touch with you I know do you do you have a sheet an artist sheet on you know what you're no I mean I have no idea what I'm doing I just I went into my house two years ago started taking lessons because I was so frustrated I painted my whole life and I've I've hated

them my whole life and and then I started taking lessons and I got good good and much to my surprise, much to my surprise. And mine. And everybody, really. They're for sale in a legitimate gallery. Yeah, legitimate gatherer. What's the name of it again? Park City Fine Art.

Park City fine art. I mean, this is pretty impressive. And like, what I like about this moment is there's potential here that this could fail spectacularly, and then I will have an incredible amount of material to torture you with. That is what I'm excited about. It really does it. You are rooting for the... You can't.

You have not stopped smiling this whole entire break. Because I know there's at least the potential of it. My guess is it's going to do really well, and I don't like that. But I think there's a potential that may be... I mean, how many people are out there? I mean, all my proceeds go to charity, okay? For this event, everything that I've produced for this event, it's all going to charity. Terrible idea, by the way.

I totally don't understand. My wife is like, how long is that going to go? Because you know how much time you're spending on this? And I'm like, well, but yeah, but she's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm like, okay, okay, I don't know what yeah means, but okay. Whatever it meant, I'll do. Whatever you say. So anyway, so everything this weekend is going for charity.

But the art world is weird and they set just prices and I didn't have anything to do with it. And it was like, wow, okay. Yeah. I mean, it's going to, you know, to buy one of these things. And I think how many, how many Glenn Beck art fans are there? Three? Well, I've sold three paintings so far. I guess there's three.

I don't know. And look, they're not Hunter Biden level prices, but they're way up there. Now, there are ways for regular people to buy these two. Because, I mean, the ones you're selling, the actual originals are out of the price range of basically everybody. But, well, I mean, I would say. Not people who run Amazon. Jeffrey Bezos. You did it.

You did it. Maybe he could come in. Yeah, no, I mean, I know there are lots of listeners that are on the wealthy end, but it takes a wealthy end to buy them. the originals. Right. But it's a tax write-off this time, I just want to say. The other part of that is you can buy, I had them do posters and, you know, limited run stuff. And then what's called a G-Clay, which is like a limited run.

It looks just like the painting, except it's not the original. And those are available as well. So there's ways for people to be involved in it. I don't know for sure, but you can call the art gallery or you can come up and get it. And this is a very aboveboard art show. What is that mean? I want to be. I mean, we're not making the paintings in the back with like Asian gulag people.

I mean, it's not what's happening. They're not from Uyghur death camps. No, there's no, none of this. The canvas has not been produced by Uyghurs. No. My point, though, is, I'm interested in your perspective on this because you have basically the only

unique perspective I think in all of conservative media on this topic which is you are with a very legitimate gallery and all of this is these are you know you've gone through this process in a somewhat similar way to the Hunter Biden situation separate I don't think so let me

let me separate it for a very long time and there's reason that people would want your art so that's totally different but like would it be easy for some Russian oligarch that wanted to influence someone close to you to come in here and throw a bunch of cash at your paintings and make it seem like they were art fans. I welcome it. By the whole thing. If I come on Monday and I'm like, you know what, authoritarianism, not so bad.

Putin's a pretty good guy. Vladimir P. You should know that I don't mean it. I'm just saying because some guy bought up all my paintings. I'm totally cool with that. But let's just put you in it. Like, you're well-known. for let's say being a relative of a highly powerful person here in the United States.

This is a way that this is not like something conservatives are making up. This could happen in this scenario. This is happening. The art gallery or the guy who runs the gallery, he has for the longest time trying to break in to the Chinese market. The Hunter Gallery, not your gallery. Yeah. The Hunter Gallery guy is the moment I've been wanting to break into the Chinese market.

they are marketing Hunter Biden's paintings. Not here. They're marketing them in China. Yeah. That's a big red flag. Like so I mean... And an actual red flag is what I'm talking about. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, that's clear what's going on there. Right. Because there is, they make the argument, some of the people that defend Hunter Biden on this and they'll say, look, he's a celebrity. And celebrity art goes for more than you'd normally get from a normal artist. And like, that might be true. However, like, I'm a bigger celebrity.

celebrity. First of all, you're a much bigger celebrity. But secondly, like, if Hunter Biden is a celebrity, first of all, it's a infamous variety. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like he's a celebrity in the United States of America. Why are you marketing to China and probably the Ukraine and Russia? Oh, yeah. I mean, it makes no sense. It makes no sense. And this old thing with him, you know, I'm doing some meet and greet thing with a bunch of the gallery's clients that buy this kind of art tomorrow night and they're closing down the gallery and a few people are coming. Well, that's what Hunter Biden is doing with the buyers at his gallery. But you're not supposed to know who's buying the art.

Well, the only people that are going to that, you know, little sworee are the people interested in buying your art. and they're coming by invitation. It's not like, I'm just going to stop by the, they're coming by invitation. So how is it that Hunter Biden is not going to know the people who are buying his art? You know, maybe there's somebody who walks in off the street and's like, I've got to have one of those $500,000 paintings.

I doubt it. I doubt it. But maybe there is, and he wouldn't know that guy. But if you're going to the cocktail party beforehand, that is by invitation for people. who are going to buy the art. And you don't come. You already know what the art looks like.

You're not coming to the place. Usually. I mean, you have interest. Right. You have interest. Doesn't mean you're going to buy it. You have interest. This is so bad.

It's so bad. And I will say this. There's absolutely no chance. He does not find out who bought this art. Absolutely. No, it is no chance of it. It is the most crass and obvious. scam, money laundering scam.

I mean, it's so obvious. Yeah. And I would expect Joe Biden in this situation. Honestly, even though I think nothing of the guy, I would think Joe Biden would be on television saying, look, I love my son. He's obviously had massive problems throughout his life. He should know the problems this creates for the work I'm trying to do in Washington that we all believe in.

It creates all sorts of. of problems and for a little bit of money in a short term that he's probably going to spend on crack, it's not worth it. Instead, he's coming up with justifications as if it's legitimate. If your paintings are $500,000 apiece, okay, you're going to walk away with $5 million. You're going to walk away with $5 million when it's all in a sudden done. That's a lot of money. And if Joe Biden's getting half of it, which apparently the Hunter Biden laptop proves if he's getting a, if he's getting part of it, that's a lot of money for his retirement. And remember, Joe Biden is not the guy. We used to think he was. We used to think he was a very liberal guy, but he was a goofball,

etc. He's not. No, he's very corrupt. He is a very corrupt. And I think the way he's handled this situation is such a strong signal that proves that. All the work that Peter Schweizer's done previously, Remember, before all of this, he was saying Joe Biden was the most corrupt vice president in American history. Before any of this with Ukraine or anything ever came out. If you're interested in any of the details, it's parkcity fine art.com. They don't sell anything from Hunter Biden. Relief factor.

This is the Glenn Beck program. We are very concerned about one of our own, and we would ask for your prayers for Stephen Crowder. Stephen tweeted something last night. He had a minor lung collapse. He has been in the hospital now for a while. He had to have surgery where they put titanium rods into his chest because he has some connective tissue disorder that causes his chest to cave in on his heart. And so he doesn't have the blood flow that he needs.

So they put these titanium rods into his chest. And he was recovering in the hospital. His lung collapsed. He's having more surgery and we just, we would ask that you would keep him in your prayers. He is a tremendous force for good and works all the time, all the time. He is a hardworking man and we're concerned about him. He says last night it was a minor lung collapse. I don't know, I ever called those minor.

Minor lung collapse, and he's going to be on the road to recovery. It's just going to take him longer. We'll say, in the phone, all the world can be a guy of the finance.
