The Glenn Beck Program - The Real Reason Hunter Biden Pled Guilty | Guests: Mario Nawfal & Bret Weinstein | 9/6/24

Episode Date: September 6, 2024

In a surprising move, Hunter Biden pled guilty to all charges regarding his tax evasion, which could land him in jail for several years. Glenn and Stu ponder whether all this was part of an elaborate... plan to give Kamala the presidency and issue pardons on behalf of Biden. Glenn goes through some of Biden's lies, including admitting that the "Inflation Reduction Act" has nothing to do with inflation but is about climate change. Glenn and Stu discuss the latest school tragedy, the FBI's knowledge of the suspect, and the suspect's father being the one who gifted the weapon. Why do we know everything about the Georgia shooter but not Trump's almost-assassinator? "Roundtable" host Mario Nawfal joins to discuss Brazil's dictatorial direction after it banned X in the entire country. Evolutionary biologist Bret Weinstein joins to discuss his political journey and why he's urging people to become fully "red-pilled."

Starting point is 00:00:32 Good, are you? Very well. Should we talk about Patriot Mobile? Patriot Mobile, a fantastic company, great people who have done incredible work around the community to be able to not only make our school boards more sane, but honestly, like anything that has to do with their motto, which is kind of the opposite of every other company that we talk about these days. Have you noticed that?
Starting point is 00:00:56 Yeah. You know, Disney What's their motto? Their motto is... I don't have it off the top of my head here, is it? See, Stu said before I went on the air, I could do this, I could do this. I could do it. I wasn't going to go through the motto.
Starting point is 00:01:11 You didn't need to quiz me on the motto. Oh, I've done this commercial 100 times. I love Patriot mobile. Do you know the name of the guys that run it? Patriotmobile.com slash Beck. PatriotMobile.com slash Beck, 972 Patriot is the place to go. Bled stories. Great man.
Starting point is 00:01:27 The code is Beck, by the way, even though he's a terrible person. You might not want to type his name. The code is Beck. PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or 972, Patriot. Gosh. Well, Hunter Biden didn't just spit in every face of Americans. No, no, no, no, no. He went and he told the truth yesterday in front of a judge.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Your Honor, I plead guilty. The judge said, what? I plead guilty to all counts. All counts. Wait, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. But he wasn't done doing this. He had a little more to spit out.
Starting point is 00:03:01 We go there in 60 seconds. Stand by. All right, let me talk to you about Lear Capital. Got up this morning and I was listening to a podcast about the everything bubble that is about to burst. We have, our global debt is just absolutely out of control. You know that we spend now, we borrow about $1.50 for every dollar of growth. That's good. No, no, seriously, that's good. That's good.
Starting point is 00:03:32 So we go in debt, 50 cents for every dollar we borrow because we're not really creating anything at all. That's not a way to grow an economy. It's not working. Hopefully, this will all end. soon, but who knows? Who knows what is around the corner? May I recommend you call Lear Capital right now? Lear Capital is the name in gold and silver that you can trust. Free 24-hour risk-free purchase, guarantee. They also will give you all of the information you need, a free wealth protection guide. But gold and silver are going to be the thing that are actually worth something, gold or silver
Starting point is 00:04:15 now from Lear Capital. Lear. They'll put $250 in your account just because you're a listener of mine, so call them now at 800-9-57 gold. 800-9-7 gold. All right. So, well, tell him to wait for a minute.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Have somebody from... We'll get to it in a second. First, let me tell you that Hunter Biden's trial in California ended before it started yesterday. Because he was charged with 9,000, tax charges. And he was facing, you know, a long, long time in prison.
Starting point is 00:04:57 And he decided, you know what, let's just cut to the chase. I did it, Your Honor. I did it. And he said, you know, after, you know, after the last five years where I've really sobered up, I realize that I have to make amends. And so I'm just going to, I'm just going to tell you that I did it. the judge said wait wait wait wait wait so you're agreeing that you committed every element of every crime yes yes your honor you did i do i do because i i really feel i've learned my lesson and i should
Starting point is 00:05:33 pay for my crimes so after five years uh of denying all of this putting us through this horrendous ordeal. The first son comes out yesterday and says, yeah, yeah, I did it. What? Hang on. What's his name? Who is this?
Starting point is 00:05:59 Who is this? Hello? Yes, hello. Yes. Alan Newman. Alan Newman. Hi, Alan. How are you? One of a hundred Biden's attorneys
Starting point is 00:06:12 heard you talking about the story. I wanted to contribute to the conversation. make sure that you got the facts accurately. You seem to be skeptical about what went on yesterday. Well, it seems kind of odd that, you know, he spent five years saying that he didn't do any of these things. And then he goes to trial and he says, all right, all right, I did it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Yes, he, well, he's guilty of these crimes. And he wants to take responsibility. You what? Hello. he wants to take responsibility for his soccer shoot are you
Starting point is 00:06:56 are you okay or uh good but a hundred Biden has spent his his entire adult years
Starting point is 00:07:03 trying to make good for the things that he did and the time in his life is season where he's able to do that and we just think it's a wonderful thing oh wait a minute
Starting point is 00:07:21 hold on just a second what are you laughing about I mean look it's a we wanted to make sure the legal system was treated with the respect that's deserved. Are you all right? You're all right. The American people deserve the truth.
Starting point is 00:07:52 So this is all on the up and up. He feels really, really bad. Hunter Biden is a loving... Hang on just a second. I'm talking to Hunter Biden's attorney. Case you haven't heard, he suddenly decided that he was guilty on all charges. This doesn't have anything to do with him just counting on his dad or Kamala to pardon him, does it? Absolutely not, Glenn.
Starting point is 00:08:43 All right, we thank Hunter Biden's attorney for joining us today's program. No, no, no, I mean, I don't think that's a problem. Hang up the phone. So we've wasted all of this money. How many times do they have to really honestly lie to you? How many times do they have to lie to you? He didn't do any of those tax crimes. He was absolutely innocent.
Starting point is 00:09:30 The laptop wasn't real. He wasn't working for the child. Chinese. Dad had no idea. Nobody in the family was enriching themselves. How many times does this administration, does Kamala Harris and the Democrats and the media, how many times do they need to lie to America? Look them dead in the eye and lie to them before they wake up. How many millions of dollars have we wasted? How much airtime has been wasted? How many, how many families have been driven apart because of these lies. And now spit in your face?
Starting point is 00:10:16 Oh yeah, I did them. Second spit in your face? And I'm not going to pay for it. I'm going to get away with it. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to go to prison for a very long time. It's not just the lies. It's the fact that they just think you're there. this stupid.
Starting point is 00:10:43 You would never allow a friend to do this to you. You would certainly never let a guardian do this to you. You would never let an employee do this to you. Why do you allow this to continue to happen? Why, America? Why? Do you know what they're doing right now? They're Trump-proofing the DOJ. this is a story from John Solomon and just the news.
Starting point is 00:11:17 They're hiring, using a hiring authority that is outside of the normal competitive process for hiring career officials. Normally, to be hired as a career civil service job, you have to list it in USAJ jobs.gov. Then they have several candidates. They go through them. They go through a competitive process to choose these people. and then the DOJ hires from that. But the DOJ is using a process outside of that, the non-competitive process.
Starting point is 00:11:49 And they're hiring hundreds of attorneys into areas that are going to be vital to protecting the Biden-Harris administration policies from a Trump administration or another future administration. So what they've done is they've taken everything that they wanted and they are codifying it now by putting, attorneys all around it that Trump cannot fire. I got to tell you, if Trump gets in, I really want him to utter these words. Just for me, it may not make a difference to anybody else, but just for me, I really want him to say, I've dealt in real estate my entire life. So I'm
Starting point is 00:12:30 pretty good at speculating housing prices and what's going to be a value and what's not. You know that $5 million house that you have in the Washington area? It's going to be worth dog crap very soon because I am firing so many people. Housing is going to be plentiful in the tri-state area. Jeez. He is going to have to fire so many people. And they're going to fight. and they're going to say, oh, this is my favorite word.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Drakonian. I love that word because I use it every day. Don't you use draconians, do, almost every day in your regular life? Absolutely, Glenn. Make sure I use it five, ten times a day. Yeah, it's draconian. It's draconian. You mean like Dracula?
Starting point is 00:13:29 They're already sucking the blood out of our neck. What are you talking about? Anyway, so we have that to, to, look forward to. By the way, a top Department of Justice spokesperson in New York was caught on a hidden camera ripping Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney, you know the one that went after Donald Trump. Now, this is the chief spokesperson for the southern part of New York. This is New York City, chief spokesperson for the Justice Department and the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Okay? He was, you know, trying to, I don't know, romance a woman and impress a woman, he says. And he said, I got to tell you, this case that Bragg brought up, it's nonsense, it's nonsense. He said he'd known Bragg for 15 years, previously worked with him, described the unprecedented hush money case against Trump as a perversion of justice. Listen to the bit of this tape from Stephen Crowder's people.
Starting point is 00:14:48 You don't have the cuts in front of me. Just play the cuts of the district attorney. Or the spokesperson. I think they're a little mystified as to what which clips you're looking for here, Glenn. I know. I'm sorry. We have a disconnect between the members. meetings sometimes and the show. Sorry about that. Okay, so he goes on and he says, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:16 this case is nonsense. This is a perversion of justice. Then he goes on to say, you know, he just wants to be something. I don't know. A mayor. I'm not sure what he wants to be, but I know he's just not happy being the DA of New York County. Before he decided to prosecute Trump, did you know who he was? Well, you do now. So he said, wait a minute hang on hang on just a second do we have do we have his attorney on the phone we have his attorney on the phone
Starting point is 00:15:47 because what he said was he didn't he was just trying to impress a girl and uh it was it was not it was it was nothing that hello who is this
Starting point is 00:16:02 by Glenn Alan Newman Allen Newman Alan, you're back. Yes. The arc line was, as you mentioned, just trying to impress a girl. So when he said it's a perversion of justice, he didn't... I came up with that one, yeah. He didn't mean that.
Starting point is 00:16:29 He was just trying to impress a girl. He was just, well, he meant it, but, well, he was trying to impress. And you, we've all said things. to the ladies. Well, we've never. No, no. Every once in a while, we've all stepped down that road. No.
Starting point is 00:16:48 He said at the federal level where I work, there's a 90-day rule where you can't make any decisions on cases that are going to affect an election within 90 days of the election. But the rule doesn't apply at the state level because the state level, it's like the effing wild west. They're like idiots. They don't care. They're all political. To put it mildly, it's a mildly.
Starting point is 00:17:09 mockery of justice. This whole thing is disgusting. They're just out to get Trump. It's travesty. It's a travesty. It's a sham. Yeah. It's a mockery.
Starting point is 00:17:25 It's a travis. It's a travis sham. It's a mockery. Okay. Well, he apparently is back in the good graces of everybody because he said, I regretfully made some statements in private in a social
Starting point is 00:17:38 setting that don't reflect my views about two local and state prosecutions. So I guess it's all right. Thank you very much, Mr. Duman. All right, let me tell you about Rough Greens. Kevin wrote in recently about his dog's experience with Rough Greens. He says, I finally decided to try this after seeing the ads over and over. I thought it seemed a lot of hype,
Starting point is 00:18:04 but I'm pleased to find out that it's everything that is advertised. My four-year-old dog was a picky eater, but not anymore. She had a huge increase in her appetite. We also gave it to her younger sister, and she loves it too. They play all day long now until they collapse and fall asleep. Thank you. Thank you, Rough Greens. This isn't a dog food.
Starting point is 00:18:26 It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black, one that you sprinkle on your dog's food. Remember brown food is dead food. You want the green stuff. You name it. If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in Rough Greens. The folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it, that they have a special deal for you. You just go to Roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 9, sorry, call 833-3-3-G-3-E-L-E-N-N-33.
Starting point is 00:18:52 They're going to give your first trial bag free. You just pay for shipping. Call 833 Glenn 33. 833 Glenn 33, R-U-F-F Greens, Rough Greens.com slash Beck. 10 seconds, station ID. Well, well, well, well. Stu, you weren't around there, strangely, for those two phone calls from the attorneys. I don't think there's a...
Starting point is 00:19:26 I don't think they're spitting in the face of the American public, do you? I mean... Not at all. No, this is exactly how justice is supposed to play out. Especially the way that... I mean, the Hunter Biden one is such a great example of it. Like, it certainly appears, Glenn, that Hunter Biden tried to come in. he tried to plead what was it, an Alford plea? I didn't even really recognize the term, but it was
Starting point is 00:19:53 basically to say you're guilty without admitting guilt, which I don't know why that's a thing, but apparently it's a thing. They tried to negotiate that. And then they're like, well, we're not going to accept that type of plea. They're like, give us a half an hour. And then they just came back and he's just entirely guilty and totally fine with it. Like every single thing in my mind points to he got a call from daddy. He called his dad. His dad said, all right, I'm just played guilty. And the second we get past this election, I'll pardon you. And that's absolutely going to happen.
Starting point is 00:20:26 And I remember when Ford did that with Nixon. And oh, man, everybody was pissed off. My dad who actually said, you know, Nixon does the same thing that everybody else does. They just got him because he's a Republican. I don't know if that's true. It just didn't feel right to me. But maybe it is. Now with some of the stuff that we know.
Starting point is 00:20:47 But still, he was pissed at Ford. He was for Nixon and he was pissed at Ford. He's like, that was a dirty deal. That was a deal made to get him out of the office. And it was. And the same deal has been made. If, you know, should I die in office, Kamala, you have to pardon every member of my family and me. and if I'm still in office, before I leave, I'm going to pardon everybody in my family.
Starting point is 00:21:20 It is a perversion of justice. Why would you have to pardon your family if you didn't do anything the whole time? This whole time, do you know how much money and energy has been spent? Do you know how many people have destroyed, have their reputations destroyed? Because you said the laptop wasn't real. because you said none of these charges are real. You had 50 former CIA and intelligence officials lie and say this was a Russian operative and a Russian op. And you threw the election, Trump would have won, according to all polls, had people believed the laptop.
Starting point is 00:22:10 He would have won. So you lied, you cheated, you stole, then you lied again to the American people. You employed 56 people from the CIA and intelligence who we don't longer believe anymore. You destroyed the credibility of anybody in intelligence. Then you had to spend millions of dollars on this. You tore families apart, arguing back and forth. The laptop's not real. You're a conspiracy terrorist.
Starting point is 00:22:41 all of that stuff, all of the damage done to our families, all of the damage done to reputations, all of the money that has been spent, and now you spit in our face and say, yeah, yeah, I did it. I did it, and I'm really, really, really sorry about it. How dare you? How dare you?
Starting point is 00:23:08 Damn America. Wake up! I'm sorry, I don't mean to yell at you. You're obviously awake, unless you're trapped in some nightmare where you're always listening to this show. Someday in the future, your house will come equipped with laser beams that will shoot through your gutter system and vaporize all the leaves in them. And it'll even manage to do it without burning your house down at the same time. But the future is not here.

Starting point is 00:24:30 plus a seven-day free trial to Blaze TV. All righty. All right. Now, you know, the first half hour of this broadcast, I might have been a little sarcastic about how much I admire the honesty of the the Biden crew but I wasn't being serious. I don't admire that at all. And I don't know if people picked up on that at all.
Starting point is 00:25:11 But let me tell you a couple of other things that, you know, they've lied about. You know that Inflation Reduction Act? The Inflation Reduction Act, which we told you was the Green New Deal. And they said, how dare you, you can speak? You're a danger. You've got to be put in little prison. Little prison, not real prison, but speech prison. Oh, wait, you're a Republican. No prison prison, the darkest prison we can find for you. And so it was all about inflation. Well, here's Joe Biden about what it was really all about. Cut one. My investments, that through my investments, the most significant climate change law ever. And by the way, it is a $369 billion bill. It's called the, we should have named it what it was.
Starting point is 00:26:05 But at any rate. Oh, I don't even think he knows where he is, but I'm glad he has his fingers on the nuclear buttons. I think everybody feels a little better knowing that this morning. Again, that is called sarcasm. So Biden now has just admitted that, yeah, it had nothing to do with inflation. It was the biggest Green Act ever. Oh, okay, all right. Yeah, you probably should have named it what it was, but here's why you didn't,
Starting point is 00:26:39 because you know the American people would have been against that. So you lied about what it was, and then you lied by naming it because you knew you couldn't win. America, when you say enough is enough, when do you say it? Here's another one. I don't know if you have noticed the joy that is attracting
Starting point is 00:27:02 so many Democrats to Kamala Harris's rallies. It's just J, capital J. O. Y. Joy, joy. In fact, they're so joyous that they can't seem to drive themselves to any of the rallies. Here's local news
Starting point is 00:27:20 from CBS Boston showing how joyful all these people are that go to our rallies that they have to be bused in. Well, behind me hundreds of invited Harris supporters are leaving and boarding shuttle buses. This was a departure for Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Huh. They're leaving and getting on to buses. Huh. See, I don't know of the buses that Donald Trump is using to truck all of his support. He's just like, hey, you want to come? Show up. Come. You know.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Go ahead, Stu. I mean, shuttle buses. It could be anything, right? I mean, that doesn't prove that they were like all fake people from out of town, right? Can I be the lawyer here for a second? What's that? Can I call up as the attorney and go, yeah, she's not a shuttle bus. They're parking issues.
Starting point is 00:28:18 No. No. I mean, you've been to any, you know, a fair, a state fair, a music festival, any big event, there are a lot of times shuttle buses to bring in people. Please, just do this as the attorney. Just get on to Mr. Newman and just, please, make that case as Mr. Newman, because it's more believable. Well, what I am to say. A lot of times when you have to park, there could be a limited parking and you need to have these shuttle buses. Right. Right. Okay. So I think we know where we stand. Hey, here's another one.
Starting point is 00:28:52 I don't think the mention of shuttle buses necessarily proves. Have you seen the 21 or 25 buses that were loaded up and came across state lines? I mean, it's not a shuttle. It's not like, hey, everybody. Hey, everybody, it's like a Disney shuttle tram. No, it's not. Okay. So another lie. But don't worry. It's this lie. has only affected our children for the rest of their lives. Some of our children can no longer have children.
Starting point is 00:29:26 They can no longer have babies. But, you know, as Bill Gates says, you know, when we reduce the population, we'll be able to get the planet under control. So it's not all bad Malthusians. But, you know, the lie
Starting point is 00:29:42 that they told you is that you can be any gender. And men can be women and women can be men. And your problems all go away if you just transition and hop on this party train. Well, here's a detransitioner. Cut three. When I was 19 years old, doctors led me to believe that I was transgender. I was told that hormones and surgeries were my only options.
Starting point is 00:30:07 They were wrong. Now I suffer from irreversible changes to my body and mind that I will live with for the rest of my life. Today, Kamala Harris is pushing children into these procedures, limiting their choices later in life. That's why I'm voting for Donald Trump, because he's committed to protecting children from these rash decisions. Yeah, but don't worry about it. Let's not talk about that. Let's not talk about that. Why have that discussion? Your country is under attack. We are being invaded by Venezuelan gangs. You know, let me just give you the latest. It's nothing really to worry about, really.
Starting point is 00:30:49 But apparently, uh, the Russian gangs are now starting to threaten our oil and gas industry in Texas. Texas-based oil and gas company issued a memo to employees informing them that police and FBI have warned that armed Cuban and Venezuela migrant gangs are committing thefts in this one area in Texas, the highest producing oil field. Industry peers and law enforcement, this is the memo. In the West Texas are aware of recent increase of organized criminal activity inclusive of violent crimes, gang activity, and oil field thefts in and around West Texas operational areas. Specifically, regional law enforcement and the FBI has advised that gang members emanating from Cuba and Venezuela are organizing and working in concert to commit thefts within
Starting point is 00:31:41 this basin. These individuals and groups are armed, violent in nature, and will not hesitate to use force. Oh, okay. Well, that's just happening. Why? Because of the open border policy that Kamala Harris has been for for decades. But now a spokesperson who is lying to you says, oh, no, she's not for that anymore. And then she comes out when asked, you're not for that anymore.
Starting point is 00:32:11 My values have not changed. Oh, okay. And are you dumb enough to buy that? Sorry, I don't mean to yell at you. I just have to yell it. You know, honestly, I think this is the sign of insanity. I'm sitting in a room by myself yelling. So, I mean, you keep bringing up these supposed flip-flops.
Starting point is 00:32:39 But I mean, there's been some changes. in positions, you know? Yes. I mean, she was for banning plastic straws. Yes, she was for that. And she's no longer for it. And she was for an EV mandate for automakers. And she's no longer for that. And she was for banning fracking. And I mean, she's no longer for that.
Starting point is 00:32:59 But other than, well, there was also the mandatory buyback program for assault weapons. But she's not for that anymore. Just like she's also not for decriminalizing crossing the border, which she was for previously, but now is not, similar to the reparations for slavery. That one we just don't know. She just won't even address it. I believe the quote was, but she's probably not for it. My favorite quote of this entire, maybe of this entire campaign was she will not comment on her current position. When has that been a thing? What do you mean you won't comment on your current position? You're running for president of the United States. When, when, can you imagine,
Starting point is 00:33:36 Can you imagine going in for a job interview? And they say, you're going for the work of the auto industry. So you have been anti-Ford. I mean, you have led campaigns against Ford, but you now are for Ford and you want to come to work for us and you think you'll be a positive influence? I can't comment on that right now. And then the person that's with you in the hallway just opens up the door a little bit and goes,
Starting point is 00:34:10 she's not for that stuff anymore and closes the door. Wait, wait, he just said, who is that? That's a spokesperson of mine. Okay, well, he just said that he's not, you know, that you're not for, you know, shutting Ford down anymore and you'd make a good employee. Can you comment on that? No, I really can't. I can't.
Starting point is 00:34:32 I can't make any comment. On my current position, no, I couldn't. You'd never hire that person. You'd never hire that person. Oh, geez. Somebody on the phone again? Hello. Hi, Glenn Allen Newman.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Listen, I was listening to your commentary on Kamala Harris. And I just want you to know that she no longer supports the Green New Deal. Okay. All right. Oh. It's Friday, America. Welcome. You got to laugh.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Otherwise, you're going to weep, open. in the streets. Let me tell you about Simply Safe. You know that guy's been sitting out in his van casing your house for the past week, making preparations to rob you? No, you don't? That's weird. It's really rude of him not to tell you so you can be prepared for it. You know what I mean? And if you ask him, I'm sure he would say, no, I can't tell you my personal and current position on robbing you blind. No, no, no. You should be prepared because things are getting worse. These Venezuelan gangs, all these gangs that are coming across, let alone all of the terrorists that have come across that we don't know about, we are going to pay a very heavy price for this at some

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I'm going to be out with Tucker Carlson tomorrow in Salt Lake City at the Delta Center. I think some tickets are still available, but they're getting scarce.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Join us tomorrow. It's going to be a fascinating conversation tomorrow. If you can't make it, then tomorrow make sure you're listening to the Glenn Beck podcast, episode 226. This is the former government UFO hunter. Are we alone in the universe? The guest that we have, Lou Elizondo, says, no, we're not. He said he has held unknown material recovered from Roswell in his. his own hands. He directed a secret government program, A-TIP, for the Department of Defense,
Starting point is 00:38:00 studied UFO, UAP sightings, connected to our military. He's even tried to create a honey trap for UAPs that was mysteriously scrapped by a high-ranking official. He's written everything down that he legally can in his new book, imminent, inside the government's hunt for UFOs. He is fascinating. I don't know what to think. How do we? know these sightings are real? What was recovered at Roswell? What's held in Area 51? Why do UAPs seem
Starting point is 00:38:33 to like water and nuclear sites? Are aliens demonic? What was Project Stargate? Is remote viewing real? Do UAPs use warp bubbles to travel? And why did he decide to go public?
Starting point is 00:38:49 It is a it's just round after round of just getting punched in the face with things that you don't know if it's true or not anymore. But it is fascinating. And we start with the soldiers that were injured in Coleris Brazil. Two military personnel were 100% medically disabled by UAPs. And he has the documentation. the foreign bodies resembling tissue-wrapped nanobots that have been removed from individuals.
Starting point is 00:39:28 These are not isolated incidents, he says, and this is all on tomorrow's Glenn Beck podcast. Are we alone? Nope, doesn't seem like it. Episode 2.26, wherever you get your podcast tomorrow. Let's see. What else do we have here? the payroll numbers are out you see this too economy
Starting point is 00:39:55 and bionomics is working I just want to say that it's just continuing to pump along and it's turning into Kamelanomics which is even better it's a better version of binomics if you can imagine such a thing more is always better
Starting point is 00:40:10 more is better and she only wants to raise the taxes I think my understanding is $5.3 trillion dollars just like that's it It's nothing. No, that's it.
Starting point is 00:40:22 No, she's going to be, no, it's going to be. Yeah. There's some stories in today's newsletter that you just have to read from reason the government's permitting regime is choking the economy. Mark Cuban says Kamala Harris will kill the stock market. Kamala wanted to give drug dealers three arrests before charging them. Oh, that's no big deal. the Netherlands have tried price control and rent control and it is tubing the Netherlands. Also, even CNN is saying, you know, I think this is a little hypocrite.
Starting point is 00:41:03 This might be a little too far to say she's tough on the border while showing Trump's border wall. Harris is trying to woo U.S. steel, but everybody involved knows she's the one pushing the policies that are hurting the steel industry. But she's going to meet with the Teamsters because they're not sure who they're going to endorse. And I'm sure there's no dirty deals going on there at all. She's, well, she might have been for dirty deals before, but she's, well, a spokesperson tells us that she's not for that anymore. And she's dead serious, too.
Starting point is 00:41:45 If you don't believe me, talk to her lawyer, Mr. Newman. The Glenn Beck program. Every day, we move closer to potential war with massive countries like Russia and China and even North Korea. There's a new report out that President Biden are, you know, I don't know, whoever is acting as president these days, signed off on a classified plan that is moving our nuclear strategy to focus on those countries. Because, you know, they would be the likeliest ones to team up with each other. if it ever came to it. There are a lot of things out there that you need to make sure are in place for you and your family.
Starting point is 00:42:21 And that's why we talk about the Jace case all the time.

Starting point is 00:44:48 but the main question is, why do we even have an FBI? And why are they allowed to spy on us? Because it doesn't seem to do any good. I'll make that point here in 60 seconds. First, I could be wrong, but I'm assuming that there will be no cybercrime in heaven. I mean, there might be some cyber criminals up there, but probably not, you know, many, but a few of them. You know, they retired, they found Jesus or whatever, and I won't hold it against them up there.

All right, let's just assume, okay, that you don't know anything about the Georgia shooter that went in and murdered a bunch of people just this week. Now, here's the headline. Now, Stu, I want you to do this with me.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Pretend you don't know anything about this story. Okay. Other than, you know, some kid went in and shot up. Terrible story. Here it is. Dad of alleged Georgia school shooter, Cold Gray, arrested, hit with murder and manslaughter charges. What's your first emotion? What are you feeling? Anger. Anger at the father.
Starting point is 00:47:05 Anger at the father. The father and the son, yeah. I mean, did he help plan this? Did he encourage it? Do they have texts of him saying, go do it, son? What do they have on him? Yeah. See, my first thought was crimes that the son commits you don't hold the father for or the crimes of the father you don't hold on the son. That was my first reaction. Like, what are we doing now? Okay. Colin Gray, 54, charged with four counts of manslaughter, two counts of second degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children. It's according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. This is the day after his four years. 14-year-old son, Colt Gray, was charged with murder. The charges come after it was revealed that dad purchased an AR-15-style rifle to give to his son as a Christmas gift last year. What's your emotion? What are you thinking? I mean, I can't believe he would do such a thing. Obviously, he wanted this to happen.
Starting point is 00:48:11 I mean, this is what I'm supposed to feel. I got my first gun from my grandfather when I was, like, 12. Try not to hurt yourself. Okay. Try not to. That's that. That was, you know, in my family, that's what, yeah, okay. That's the era where they built the playgrounds with the 42 foot ladders with, like, rocks on the side. Yes. With no nets. Right. Yes. That's, that was that era. That's when we live. That's when children lived. All right. These charges, now I'm thinking to myself, oh, now this is another way to get guns, okay? Because I can give my son a gun. As long as it's legal, I can give it a gun. I don't know what the laws are. are in Georgia. These charges stem from Mr. Gray knowingly allowing his son, Colt, to possess a weapon. Cold received the deadly present from his father just seven months. Now, here's the things are going to
Starting point is 00:49:04 change pretty hard. He got his deadly present from his father just seven months after authorities visited the pair when the FBI received tips about online school shooting threats. So wait, wait, wait, wait. Dad gave him a gun after the FBI was at the house. Now I'm thinking dad is a total dirt bag and deserves everything. Except I also wonder, now wait a minute. The FBI knew about this kid. This is a roller coaster ride.
Starting point is 00:49:42 Okay. Colin Gray told the police at the time that he had hunting guns in his home, but said Colt did not have unsurbed. supervised access to them. Okay. The teen also denied making the threats. Oh, so that didn't happen then. Cold Gray allegedly gunned down two fellow students and two teachers when he opened fire at the school on Wednesday morning. Those killed were students, blah, blah, blah. Nine other seven students and two teachers were hospitalized with gunshot wounds. Barrow County Sheriff Judge Smith said Thursday night he was happy to reveal that all of those injured will make a full recovery. Okay. The disturbed teenager came from a broken home. Now this is the information that the FBI had months before the shooting. The disturbed teenager came from a broken home where he and his sisters
Starting point is 00:50:38 were regularly abused by their troubled mother and visited frequently by police and child services. Colt's mother, 43-year-old Marcy Gray, 43, has a lengthy rap sheet spanning 17 years and four Georgia counties, including arrest for drug possession, driving under the influence, and domestic violence. Lauren Vickers, who lived next door to the Greys in Jefferson, said the children were always wearing dirty clothes and sometimes were hungry. It was constant abuse, she said. Colt's aunt, Annie Brown, told the Washington Post that her never. was struggling with mental health issues and had been, quote, begging for help from everyone around him before he shot up the school. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I think we know what happened here. Okay. Think we got a pretty good
Starting point is 00:51:36 handle. So I want to ask, why do we have an FBI? why do we have one? You know, they're spying on us illegally for our own safety. But I don't think it is for our safety, you know, because they're not protecting us. Listen, Georgia school shooting suspect on FBI radar since 2023. How about this one? FBI got a tip about shooting suspect before the day before the 2021 arrest. suspect shooter in attacks on Jewish men was on FBI's radar. I'm just reading headlines from the past. Iowa mass shooter on FBI's radar.
Starting point is 00:52:23 The Highland Park shooting highlights the FBI's limitations in pursuing disturbing content online. Ohio man was on the FBI's radar for months. Officials say Ricky Schiffler, 42, was killed after hours after trying to breach an FBI office. Maine police were alerted weeks ago about the shooter's threats. Suspect and double homicide kidnapping was on FBI's radar. What went wrong? FBI missed signals in four mass shootings. What the hell are they doing?
Starting point is 00:52:57 What are they doing? I mean, you know what? I think we should just have their radar. I think that's all we should have. We should just have something. Boop, boop, boop. Just show us the radar. That's all we need.
Starting point is 00:53:09 We don't need any humans to man it. You could be running by itself, that radar that's always on their radar. They could just be running by itself in a room locked up and nobody ever sees it. That's how effective the FBI is on this. So congratulations. I wonder what they're doing. You know, besides arresting grandma, you know, the true villains of the deadliest of all deadly days, January 6th. By the way, there's a new series coming out from the Babylon.
Starting point is 00:53:41 on B on January 6. Here's a here's a little preview. Do you have the preview here? It's cut to Oshima. Nagasaki, the heat death of the universe. These are some of the deadliest days
Starting point is 00:53:56 in history. But none of them compare to the most deadliest day. January 6, 2021. Coming soon in the most epic movie event Since robot jocks left behind, or maybe even son of the mask, the Babylon V investigates the darkest day in the history of democracy.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Where were you on January 6th? In January? I don't remember. Storming the Capitol, baby. No, no, no, no, no. Scary stuff like this happened. Okay. Just shows a guy moving the podium.
Starting point is 00:54:41 So on a scale up 9 to 10, how terrifying was what you just witnessed? Three? I don't know. go on location. We bring you 100% true facts. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was murdered over seven times. We ask the tough questions.
Starting point is 00:55:02 Is it true that you have a Jewish space laser? This is incredibly boring. Could you explain it to me using Marvel characters? We even go face to face with the scariest criminals you'll ever meet. Are you the dangerous insurrection, ma'am? Who's asking? We're in. Into the lure of darkness, I go.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Darkness because he's a Republican, not because he's, you know. This fall, the only way you can save democracy is by becoming a member of the Babylon B. So you can see January 6th, the most deadliest day. Where were you on January 6th? I was in that mob that, going into the capital. You know, they took something that we should be concerned about
Starting point is 00:56:09 and just made it into a joke. It's just a joke now. By calling it the deadliest day in the history of America, worse than the civil war. Really? The most dangerous day to democracy. By doing all that and then going out in arresting grandmothers and putting him in jail for two years,
Starting point is 00:56:36 you know, I think, I think they made a joke out of our justice department and our justice system. Well, that and Hunter Biden, you know, going to court yesterday and saying, I want to plead guilty without saying I'm guilty. And the judge saying, no, you can't do that. All right, then I'm guilty. I did it. What? I mean, the Justice Department is a total joke, a total joke.
Starting point is 00:57:03 And you know whose advantage that works out for? People that want to cause chaos? I don't know. I don't know. You know, when you can't arrest people, let me give you this cut. Cut 11. Here's cut 11. Answers about a weekend attack.
Starting point is 00:57:25 Police say they found the victim lying in a bed with a pickax embedded in his skull. A witness says that they saw 26-year-old Haineson Hernandez-Moran hitting the victim multiple times with the farming tool. Hernandez is charged with second-degree attempted murder. Now, we showed you these pictures of the large police presence. As KPD cruisers lined up outside the home where it happened in the 1,000 block of Morel Road. According to the report, Hernandez-Moran ran off, but later turned himself in to police at the scene. The victim was transported to UT Medical Center. with life-threatening injuries.
Starting point is 00:58:02 But is he a citizen? Yeah, no, you see, they don't know what to cover. This is an illegal. An illegal took pickax to somebody. But that's, that's, you know, that's no big deal. That's really no big deal. You know. Okay, so we have a few Venezuelan gangs.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Do you know that the Venezuelan gangs, do you know that they made themselves apparent to the police about a year ago? they're on the radar? Why are we just... Of the police? They were on the FBI radar. Why? Why?
Starting point is 00:58:38 Why has nobody come in and just said, yeah, we're going to take all of these guys out. We're either going to put them in prison or we'll kill them. But they're not going to do this. No. I mean, where is this story? Where has this story been for a year?
Starting point is 00:58:59 Answer? Not with them. media because they're lying to you. Just like that last story. She didn't say who that guy was. It is important to say, ah, he's not a citizen. Let me translate. This wouldn't have happened if we didn't have open borders.
Starting point is 00:59:22 That's why it's good that we have a prosecutor in chief that can come into the Oval Office. And he's, you know, she's the only one, Glenn, who's prosecuted cartels, the only one. and that is why we need her in there. The tough on the border, border hawkish Kamala Harris. Yeah, yeah. She's prosecuted the cartels. You know, I'm a little more for Donald Trump just sending planes with bombs over their compounds. That's what I'm for.
Starting point is 00:59:54 That's what I'm for. No prosecution. We don't have to prosecute them. We know where they live. We know who they are. Stop. you know, stop trading in children and stop making fentanyl and shipping it across our border, or we will deem you an enemy of the United States.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Bye-bye. Now, I would like a justice system, but I don't think we have one right now. Don't think we have one. And until we can scare the hell out of the bad guys, we're not going to have much time to go through. record, you know, for three or four years. Let's, uh, let's, let's make sure that our enemies know that we're serious. And I think Donald Trump will do that. I think he will do that. Can I ask a question on this entire series of stories? And perhaps maybe we take a break and come
Starting point is 01:00:51 back and you can answer it. But like the, the, like, for example, this case in Georgia, you know what I listened to this morning, Glenn? Um, what I listened to this morning was, the audio of the entire conversation that police had with this kid and his dad a year ago. I know about him. I know about his family's history. I've heard about the abusive mom. I've heard about her leaving. I've heard about the Christmas presents he's purchased.
Starting point is 01:01:25 I've heard an incredible amount of detail about this case. And great. Why have I heard almost nothing about the guy who tried to shoot? Donald Trump? Well, because he had no footprint. He had no digital footprints, too. None whatsoever. None whatsoever. Back in just a minute with a little more on that. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. I don't know about you. I'm a big fan of the free market when it's actually free. People who founded this country understood the best way to exist in a society and was to strive towards a balance of freedom and moral responsibility. You know what's great about America now is it doesn't have either of those things. I try to take my freedom and use it wisely.
Starting point is 01:02:10 I try not to take it for granted. I try to do business with people who feel the same. And that is why I am proud to partner with Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile shares our values. Won't send your hard-earned money in aid to the destruction of America. They will work for conservative causes, not against them.

Starting point is 01:03:34 very much about Nashville. You know, or the guy who killed president, or tried to kill the president. We all know he had no digital footprint. I mean, there are a lot of teens that have zero footprint. And even more teens that have secret encrypted accounts with foreign entities in three different countries. That happens all the time.
Starting point is 01:03:59 But the real answer on why we don't know is because they're taking this so seriously, Stu, they're putting the same guy that was, was and still is on the Vegas shooting. They got him on the assassination. And he also, I mean, he's got a lot of things going on. He also is looking into the pipe bombs
Starting point is 01:04:18 at the DNC. Oh, good. Yeah, an RNC. So they're on top of it. I was mistaken. Yeah, he's on top of it. He's, yeah, it's Bill. And he's just got a lot, he's like, oh, no, another massive case. All right, it'll take me a little bit longer to get this information out. But I'm the guy. I'm the guy. So we got our best
Starting point is 01:04:37 on it. Bill. Yeah. Bill. I'd like to tell you more about him, but I can't get that information from the DOJ or the FBI. But rest assured, it's on their radar. It's on their radar. Back in just a minute. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm thinking right now that what could possibly go wrong, right? I could think of a million ways. things just, you know, lead to a valley of buttercups in the next four months. I can't think of a single thing that could possibly go wrong with the economy or with society. I mean, really, I mean, why would you, our dollar is fine, okay?
Starting point is 01:05:29 Our dollar is fine. Our country is fine. We're, you know, we're only in, you know, debt now. about $200 trillion when everything that we've promised is paid off. But, you know, they're going to take the land and they'll use the land to be able to print more money. And that doesn't lead to inflation.

Starting point is 01:06:36 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Mario Nafal is, well, he is the biggest, the largest host on X spaces. And I've been on his space. several times here recently, and I have to tell you, it is, it seems to me to be the future. It is global, and therefore you can have people coming in from all over the globe to chime in. And it is the really realization of what the Internet promised that we could all connect with one another, somehow or another. And I think it's, I think it's doing that now.
Starting point is 01:07:19 And it's unlike a podcast, which is recorded. This is live and people can chime in. It's fascinating to listen to. Mario is joining us now, and we want to talk a little bit about the fight between X and Brazil as a part of this global battle for free speech. Mario, how are you? Glenn, pleasure to be here. Yeah, thank you. So are you in Brazil?
Starting point is 01:07:48 I know their independence day is tomorrow. Michael Schellenberger went down for it. And he got through the airport, so he hasn't been arrested yet. But I know that you're under investigation in Brazil as well. There is no way I'll be stepping foot in that country, one of a few now, despite it being an incredibly beautiful country, despite it being the third biggest democracy in the world. I was invited by a president of a neighboring country just a couple of weeks ago and I decided not to go either.
Starting point is 01:08:24 After what we saw in France with Pavel, again we're talking about France, not China, not Russia, not North Korea, and his arrest when he was allegedly going to meet the president there, I would unfortunately not be going to Brazil, but we are working with various journalists in the country to cover the rally tomorrow. We're doing a space, a large show on Sunday with a few politicians. and voices from that country, despite the ban. I've had President Bolsonaro on and our space was blocked. His Wi-Fi was blocked. We're going to do it again on Sunday with a few leaders from the West and from Brazil.
Starting point is 01:08:59 Mario, did you find it interesting that Bolsonaro was supposed to be, you know, the dictator? And then the system kind of came into play through court and just a really, I mean, the Darth Vader judges even. looks like Darth Vader. And Lula, who is a communist, it's amazing to me how they claimed that Bolsonaro was going to be the dictator. And so we had to go to save democracy. And then now we have pretty much dictatorial rule in Brazil. It always starts this way.
Starting point is 01:09:39 We saw that in the U.S. during the terrorist days and the fear after 9-11. You know, the stranglehold on power always begins with a cause that everyone stands for. So in Bolsonaro, there was a big movement against Bolsonaro in Brazil. And a lot of people on the left, they say, look, Justice Moray, the Supreme Court justice, has kind of become the almost dictator of Brazil. They agreed that he's abusing his power, but they said the cause is worth it. What's too important. And as soon as you go down that path, exactly.
Starting point is 01:10:10 As soon as you go down that path, you've crossed the line. You've broken the system that ensures a democracy. And then it gets out of control. You know, power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. And we're seeing that right now in Brazil. It's a perfect example. So are you concerned about how this is crossing international borders that we apparently, our government, is involved in advising them on how to get Elon Musk,
Starting point is 01:10:37 that you have Europe trying to do the same thing? I mean, this is almost revealing the New World Order and how they all will cooperate to crush free speech. Simple answer to your question, yes. I'm extremely concerned. Again, there's countries I would not dare travel to right now. I used to travel the world. I've been traveling for over a decade. Brazil, obviously, being one of them, Venezuela being another, you know, Pakistan. These things you'd expect to see in Pakistan. I was interviewing Prime Minister Imran Khan
Starting point is 01:11:14 and a few, I think two, three weeks after the interview he was arrested and X was banned in the country. I had a lot of people from his party on stage. And not many people talked about what happened in Pakistan or even Venezuela, which is kind of, it's difficult to call it democracy now. But for this to happen in Brazil to that level, what's next?
Starting point is 01:11:36 That's the third biggest democracy. How many steps? are we before this reaches the world's biggest, the beacon of democracy, the world's biggest democracy, and that's the United States. That's my concern. In terms of America's involvement, yes, America was involved. We saw the leaks that came out when it came to Pakistan, and the US at least gave the okay for the ouster of then Prime Minister of Mran Khan, the leaked messages the press didn't cover them. So if there, I know Mike Benz, who's a common friend between us, he's covered this extensively. Was the US involved? I wouldn't be surprised.
Starting point is 01:12:11 To what extent, you know, we'll find out over time. My bigger concern is what's next. Because, you know, what's happening in Brazil is being watched by other countries. You know, we saw what happened in the UK, obviously France, and we're seeing what's happening, the law fair that's happening in the US. So if Morayas gets away with it in Brazil, it's a massive country, hundreds of millions, I think 250 million people, if my numbers are correct, if that works in Brazil, again, I want to repeat the world's third biggest democracy, and it works. What happens to administrations in the US or other countries that also want that same stranglehold on the country that they stranglehold on free speech? Because they've already got in the media. We've kind of lost the battle for free speech when it comes to mainstream media.
Starting point is 01:12:55 And they've lost the trust of the people. So the only thing left is social media. They're already being targeted very heavily. And my concern is like what happened to the days of Google, you know, a couple of decades ago fighting for free speech against China. you know and the whole motto of do no evil where's google now where's meta now you know mark Zuckerberg apologized not long ago for for abiding by the censorship requests from the biden administration well why are they rallying why are they kowtowing to the supreme court in Brazil why aren't they rallying in support of Elon yes is very simple they're choosing money over
Starting point is 01:13:31 free speech and it's a shame that Elon and rumble which obviously is much smaller are the only two social media platforms that are standing up to centralization of power and our basic right of freedom of expressing our thoughts online. But aren't we doing the same thing? We're just doing it maybe perhaps a little quieter. I mean, the minute he bought Twitter and started opening it back up, they all, almost every department in the government started an open investigation on him. I mean, that's exactly what's happening with this judge in Brazil.
Starting point is 01:14:16 They just don't have the First Amendment to slow them down. But we're doing the same things here. Are we not? Look, it's not only the various three-letter agencies that are targeting Elon right now, from the STC to the DOJ to the SEC, Elon and his companies. We're seeing potentially women in Brazil, but more importantly, advertisers are doing the same thing. It's just starting to see more of a, a lot of people like to call it the establishment,
Starting point is 01:14:46 those in power, unelected officials, but it just seems like that cabal that's trying to maintain power and control. And they're targeting X in a very blatant way. So Linda Yakarino, who's done an incredible. job at X. She was initially the person that was brought in to kind of make peace with the ADL, make peace with other companies that were trying to, the Apple, for example, when they withdrew the advertising from X. And it worked for a while. And now we saw a leak a couple of days ago. I don't know how true it is. And I think it was politically motivated. I don't think it's true.
Starting point is 01:15:21 The advertisers are planning to, again, boycott X. No good reason why. And we saw Linda put out a letter to advertisers. They're going to start fighting advertisers legally through the U.S. justice system, which I hope the legal system in the U.S. does not go down a similar path to, it's already heading down a dangerous path, but not as far as Brazil. But if the legal system also goes down the path of centralizing power and censorship, then what's left? So advertisers are strangling Twitter's revenue, X's revenue. If the legal system is not there to protect a company like X, how far can one man go, despite him being the richest man alive, how far Can one person go social media companies need to stand up to this?
Starting point is 01:16:03 Yeah, they do. Let me ask a question. I've been asked if I would help with a political fundraiser. And because of the FCC laws, I can't do it on radio. But I was wondering if I could do it on spaces. Can you, what kind of latitude does spaces give? A lot of people listening to this might not know of what spaces are, even though they've been blowing up. So the fascinating thing about spaces, just don't introduce the audience to them, is that it becomes like a, you know, the old school CNN, Fox News live coverage when there's breaking news.
Starting point is 01:16:47 But essentially the audience participates in the coverage. So people could request to come up on stage. And, you know, I've had senators, I've had business leaders during the Silicon Valley Bank collapse. I've had Mark Cuban, Bill Ackman, come on stage. Obviously, Elon has been on my stage. I think about five, six, seven times, I think, by now. And so when we're covering a story, you have the people that, you know, the people that have influence come on stage and request. So, absolutely.
Starting point is 01:17:16 And the good thing is that there's no fears of censorship. And to reach, the audience size is staggering. We saw that in the Elon interview. Exactly, exactly. So. What was that? Do you have that number? What was the number when we were on together?
Starting point is 01:17:32 Any ideas? It was when we were on, it was during the Brazil censorship show. I think we were on twice so far. There was the DNC and the Brazil censorship. Both of them were in the seven figures, a million plus. I don't remember exactly how many. And that's just the original recording. Obviously, a lot of people snippet and post it in different places.
Starting point is 01:17:53 But that's just the original recording. The Elon 1 is sitting, my biggest was probably about 8. 18 million for one stream. And then the one with Elon and Trump is in the tens and tens of millions. Wow. Amazing. Amazing. Mario, thank you very much.
Starting point is 01:18:10 And thank you for bringing so much attention to what is happening in Brazil and is coming to all Western countries if we don't stop it and we don't change course quickly.

Starting point is 01:20:54 is on with us in about 10 minutes. He said something incredible this week on a podcast. He said that he didn't think that Donald Trump
Starting point is 01:21:03 was going to be allowed to be president again. I think he might be right. I mean, these people will put him in jail. They will put him in jail.
Starting point is 01:21:23 Do you know that New York is already talking to the Secret Service about how would they protect him in jail? They're serious. They'll put him in jail. They'll kill him. I'm, you know, hey, Stu, have you heard that? I have not had a chance to check this out. Have you heard that, you know, CNN never covers the President Trump rallies. But they had that one on wall-to-wall coverage. Is it true that this was the first one out of many that they picked up? I have heard that same thing. I turned on CNN after the shooting happened.
Starting point is 01:22:05 I wasn't watching it when it occurred. So I have heard that that was true. But I honestly have never fact-checked myself. Yeah, we got to fact-check that. Because, I mean, that's quite a stunning thing if it's true. But I'm not sure it's true. You know, you can't trust it. We used to be able to say, oh, that's most likely true.
Starting point is 01:22:27 Now, I have no idea. I have no idea. A space alien could have crawled out of the nostril of Kamala Harris and said, go commies. And now I'd be like, I don't know, could have. Maybe I don't. We have to fact check that one. Would it be K-A-M-M-I-E-S? That's really what they should do with her campaign.
Starting point is 01:22:50 K-A-M-M-E-S. I mean, even if the CNN thing is true, obviously it doesn't prove anything beyond the fact that, you know, it's an interesting coincidence, right? But there's so many of those things around that particular day. And honestly, also, I think one of the strangest things about this election cycle, and it is really saying something to make that sort of claim is that really that seems forgotten. We can all claim, oh, well, the media, of course, they wanted to memory hold it. And of course that's true. But like, it's not even like... Are we just slaves of the media?
Starting point is 01:23:27 Right. Number one, yeah. Are we just following the media? But I don't even hear it a lot from conservatives talking about it. Like, it really feels like something that was just so horrible. We all want to forget it. And like, it's still pretty central to what's going on here. Well, I had a bunch of friends over last night.
Starting point is 01:23:44 We spent a lot of time talking about it. You know, I would have had you there, but I tried to think of any other friends I could invite that would want to come. I was available. I didn't have anything going on. We had so much salad and vegetables. We were just dumping them that I thought, you know, I don't know, I don't have a good friend that's a vegan and could talk about these things to be interested.
Starting point is 01:24:05 I mean, I could have stopped by at any time. Just dumping all of those, all those good vegetables just gone. Land Beck program. All right, I want to welcome a new sponsor to the program. It is Up Phone. And I have to tell you, I love. Upphone. Upphone is a new phone system that is basically a digital fortress. Now, it's not going to stop the government or anybody else out of that, but it will stop Apple, Google, Microsoft, all of that,
Starting point is 01:24:35 because it doesn't exist in the Apple or Google mobile ecosystems. It also comes with its own operating system and App Store. So you can use all of the apps and everything else at its own messenger, which you can make end-to-end encrypted calls and video calls, send files and phones and and even create secure chat groups, plus a VPN and an antivirus. This is a great phone that when you turn it off, it disconnects from the battery. So it can't work. It's unplugged.com slash Glenn. Go there now for a discount.
Starting point is 01:25:08 Use a promo code Glenn. Unplugged.com slash Glenn. Oh, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Brett Weinstein came first on my radar, maybe. 2016, 2017, I think it was. He was teaching at Evergreen State College up in Portland. And I'm pretty sure the students arrested him and did a mock trial of him and held him against his will for a long time in the library.
Starting point is 01:26:41 And nobody did anything about it. He was one of the most popular professors at the college. he obviously doesn't necessarily agree with me on on you know politics etc etc but i think we probably have more and more in common every day that goes by his brother was just on a podcast this week and said he doesn't think that donald trump is going to be allowed to um allowed to be allowed to be president again they'll kill him um it was a really sobering thought now i don't know if brett believes in that. I do, but I wanted
Starting point is 01:27:22 to talk to him about it, and he's actually doing something really exciting in the positive way. He is holding an event called Rescue the Republic on September 29th. You can go to join the resistance.org. Join
Starting point is 01:27:39 the resistance.org. RFK Jr. is going to be there. Russell Brand is going to be there. Tulsi Gabbard. Matt Taibi, Laura Logan, a lot of really big names. Rescue the Republic. It's on September 29th. Go to join the resistance.org. Brett joins me in 60 seconds first.
Starting point is 01:28:00 You know what's going on in Aurora, Colorado? Well, we found out today that the Texas oil fields are also being threatened by gangs. These from Cuba and Venezuela. This is going to be happening more and more. I don't know where the law enforcement is on this, but they're taking over apartment complexes. One guy refused to pay his rent to the Venezuelan gang, and he was stabbed.
Starting point is 01:28:26 But other than that, you know, what's the big deal? You have a right to be armed as a citizen and protect yourself. Now, is this a life-threatening situation? Cops have to deal with this all the time. And they've always carried tasers as their first line of defense, but they're not carrying tasers as much anymore because they're carrying Burna launchers. Burn a launcher has tear gas in it, kinetic rounds. It'll stop somebody from the 60 feet, but it won't be lethal.
Starting point is 01:28:57 Burn a launcher has these powerful deterrence that can come in handy for you as well. Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn, made in Fort Wayne, Indiana by a bunch of Second Amendment nuts just like you and me. They believe in firearms, but they also know the consequences. firearms. They want to give you a choice. Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn. Burna.com slash Glenn. All right. Brett, my man. How are you? I'm doing well. How are you, Glenn? Very good. How's your wife? Quite well. Good. Good. Say hi to her for me, will you? I sure will. You have made some pretty incredible posts recently. You wrote you can't microdose the red pill, make peace with it, and then down the hatch.
Starting point is 01:29:53 What's brought you there, and what do you mean by that? I guess I'm just noticing a pattern amongst people who are waking up to the threat that the West is facing. And the pattern is that the degree to which they see the threat is proportional, not to the size of the threat. but to their willingness to look the problem in the eye. And that was my ironic attempt to alert them that they need to fast forward that process because they will lag too far behind to do anything about it if the question is one of how open they are to seeing rather than just simply looking at what's in front of them. it is um i think it takes a lot of courage to look at what you've always believed and then have to
Starting point is 01:30:52 reevaluate and say well i don't know is is what i'm saying true still is what they're saying true with what i believe um do i need to reevaluate and reevaluating i mean you did this brett i remember the first time you were on my show you you were a little skeptical uh of me And rightly so. I mean, you know, we were on opposite sides for a long time, or so we thought. And it was hard. I mean, look what you went through. Yeah, you're absolutely right. And, you know, this is happening now, I think, to anybody with an openness to investigating any of their cherished beliefs. We're discovering that our friends aren't who we thought they were, that some of the people that we had viewed. is as antagonists turn out to be on the same side motivated by the same patriotism and values.
Starting point is 01:31:51 And some of the people that we would have expected to join us in defense of the West are absent from the field. And so one has to be ready to just simply look at all of the information we have and say, well, which of these stories just simply isn't true or maybe was never true? You wrote, it's impossible to understand the Democratic Party in traditional terms. What does that mean? It means it's not a political party. It has been captured by something that has objectives that have no place in a democratic society. And it has engineered a,
Starting point is 01:32:42 a false coalition to demand preposterous things to rationalize the abuse of power that it exercises when it is in office. So if you think about it as a group of Americans who have a view of the way the country should be governed, you'll be scratching your head. If on the other hand, you think of it as a hostile force, one that has no interest in the well-being of average Americans or indeed in the meaningful continuation of the Republic itself, it makes a lot more sense. And the people who are vocally supporting it are in some ways victims of a psychological operation that has convinced them to support things that are, frankly, unholy. So, Brad, that's amazing coming from you, and I think you're right. As we try to wake our own families up, do you have any advice on how to do this? Yes, I mean, I think we are all facing this.
Starting point is 01:33:56 I certainly face this even within my own family. And I think the first thing is to look at your own journey and look back to a place where you were quite convinced of something that you no longer believe and imagine that the people you're talking to are simply standing in a location that they can't see what you see. So approach them with compassion, realize that, you know, it's a tiny handful of people who are orchestrating this and a large number of victims who have effectively been hypnotized. You have said that you're actually very optimistic. You're confident that, or more and more confident, that Blue Team won't win, in your words, they'll be defeated.
Starting point is 01:34:54 Why? Well, I have to maybe back you up from thinking that was an optimistic statement, because what I said was, I think the Blue Team will not, win the election. I believe they will be defeated both in the popular vote and the electoral count, but the second part of that statement is that it won't be reported that way. I'm concerned that the rearrangement of the manner of voting, the destruction of the mainstream press, or maybe capture is a better term, means that there's a a capability to just simply portray the result as different than it actually was. So, yes, I believe if I look at the interactions that I have as I'm traveling or even here
Starting point is 01:35:50 at home in a blue state, there are plenty of people awake to win this election and defeat this blue monster. But at some level, it has to be recorded as a loss for the blue monster. in order for it to be to be meaningful. So are you talking about election interference far as the vote count, or are you talking about, you know, propaganda that it was, you know, that it was illegitimate, however they want to spin it? Well, look, I'm an outsider.
Starting point is 01:36:29 I don't exist in the realm where I understand exactly what does protect. our vote count, but what I can see from the outside is that the deep state or whatever it is uses every trick in the book to bring about an electoral result that it finds favorable. And that is obviously illegitimate. So I see the blue team as perfectly willing to cheat in ways that are visible in public, you know, the suppression of the hundred Biden laptop story, for example, was election interference, and it was extremely broad. And, you know, who knows what effect it had.
Starting point is 01:37:20 But the question I'm left with is if you have a powerful force that is willing to cheat, is willing to destroy fundamental American values like freedom of the press in order to shape the outcome of an election, the only reason that I would think that that wouldn't extend to a phony vote count is that it would be too risky or too difficult. And I don't think it's either of those things. So I guess unless it was like a Reagan 84 kind of victory where it was overwhelming. But I don't think that's going to happen. But I think that's the only way that they couldn't pull something off if they if they have the capability they could pull it off unless it was just overwhelming would you agree that that is what i think we in the public have to ensure is that it is
Starting point is 01:38:18 such an overwhelming victory that any capacity to cheat is is drowned out by the organic uh impulse of the american public to retake their nation and put it back on course. Do you see any signs that that might happen? I do. Again, when I do an admittedly non-random sample as I travel through the world, I find a tremendous number of people alarmed, especially in light of what took place ushering Joe Biden out of the race and creating a phony picture of Kamala as some kind of heroic figure. So people are seeing that. But the question is, do they understand that this is not an election we must win?
Starting point is 01:39:17 That we, this is the election we must win. In fact, what Kamala has said across many years, in fact, is that she thinks that free speech has to be reined in by the platforms. and that she is intent on seeing that done in her administration. So the ability to return the Republic to the proper course is going to vanish on us if free speech is targeted in that way. It's already back on its heels. I've said that I think she's the, Kamala is the Chavez or Maduro of America. and we might still be America in name if she is elected,
Starting point is 01:40:09 but you'll never go back to what we were, because it'll be too late. This is it. You agree? I think you're giving her too much credit. I think what we've seen is a perfectly empty blue suit that has been portrayed as something significant. But really, this,
Starting point is 01:40:32 the Biden administration, the fact that we have a president who does not retain the capacity to do his duties, yet he's still nominally in the office. That was a place where we could see that whatever is in power is perfectly comfortable with some kind of governance that was never agreed upon. And Kamala is the continuation of that. She is, you know, an empty suit for a different reason, ambitious and perfectly willing to do the bidding of whatever. it is that's really in control. So she's not, you know, I think Chavez at least actually believed things. I think Kamel is really whatever it might be.
Starting point is 01:41:15 Yes, I agree. Elected. All right. Hang on just a second. I want to talk about what you're doing in Washington, but give me 60 seconds. We'll come back more with Brett Weinstein. Have you fed your dog yet today? Did he like it?
Starting point is 01:41:28 Did he rush to the bowl to eat? Or did you have to stand there? and do what I used to have to do with Uno, just like, don't move, don't move. Somebody comes into where he's eating. No, he's eating. Stay back, stay back. Your body is just like your dog's body in many ways.
Starting point is 01:41:44 It instinctively is searching for things that will make the body happy. It is looking for the nutrition that it needs. And if you're feeding your dog kibble food, all of that stuff's baked out and can sit on a shelf for two and a half years without going bad. That's not something I would feel. my kids every day. Why are we feeding our dog that? So we've come up with a supplement. It's called Rough Greens. Rough Greens was developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black. He came into my
Starting point is 01:42:16 office right after he invented this stuff and started putting it out. And I said, I just, I just want my dog to eat because he will never eat. He loves his food now. Rough Greens, RUFFFGreens.com slash Beck. And I've also seen huge improvement in his health. 833 Glenn 33, 833, GLEN, 33 roughgreens.com slash back 10 second station ID. So, Brett, tell me about rescue the republic. I'm assuming you're not going after people like my audience. You're going after people that have been Democrats that are waking up. Is that accurate?
Starting point is 01:43:07 No. This is the moment that the unity movement, the unity coalition, discovers its true dimension. So that's about people like you, people like me. It's the galvanizing of an important new force that is, I hope, going to make sure that the blue team is defeated in this election and then contribute to a vision of how to put the Republic back on the track that our founders set us on. God, I'm so glad to hear you say this.
Starting point is 01:43:46 Rescue the Republic. It is happening in Washington, D.C. I mean, you have RFK Jr., Russell Brand, Tulsi Gabbard, Matt Taibi, Lara Logan. Those are all movers and shakers and really instrumental in putting things back on. I've been so heartened by RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard. I think what RFK Jr. is talking about on health. and our own food and processed food and everything.
Starting point is 01:44:16 I mean, I think the world is changing. I think, you know, I wouldn't have been the guy to talk to about that 25 years ago. And I'm all on board with that now. I think we've done great damage to almost everything. And we just have to turn the corner and fess up to ourselves. Yes, I think we need to listen to Bobby Kennedy's wise words when he said that it is time. for us to show that we love our children more than we hate each other. And if we can simply follow that and show up in great numbers in Washington on September 29th
Starting point is 01:44:56 and demonstrate that this is a powerful movement and that their propaganda that pretends that the other side is somehow captured the imagination of Americans, that that's simply false. We do that and we do so visibly. We can win and we must. Rescue the Republic. Join the Resistance event in Washington, D.C., September 29th. Go to join theresistance.org for more information. These guys, I would love to hear all of them speak.
Starting point is 01:45:25 You're on the right track, and I wish you the best. Tell me anything I can do, just reach out anything I can do to help you promote or anything else. I think this is really good, Brett. Thank you. I really appreciate that, Glenn. Thank you. God bless you. You bet.
Starting point is 01:45:40 Bye-bye. as well. Weinstein, an evolutionary biologist, a co-host of Dark Horse, taking the red pill. It, you know, so interesting because the first time he was on my show, I remember he kind of sat back a little bit. He was on a podcast. And I think it was him and James Lindsay. And he said, let me ask you a few questions because he was, you know, atheist. I think he probably still is, although he was talking about evil there. And he said, would you, if I could prove, and I know I can't, but if there was a way to prove that God didn't exist, would you reconsider your position? And I said, well, if you could prove it and it was undeniable proof, I'd be stupid not to at least
Starting point is 01:46:30 look at it and consider it. And he said, and I said, same with you. If I could prove God, which I can't, Would you reevaluate your position? He said the same thing. And that's how we kind of came together. All right, let's hear from Stephanie in Santa Cruz, California, about her Genucel experience with the best in skin care.

Starting point is 01:48:33 isn't it? I'm going to be with Tucker Carlson and we're just going to be talking about things that is tomorrow. You don't want to miss it.

Starting point is 01:48:59 Salt Lake back in Salt Lake. And then the week after that is the American narratives in fine art. This is something that I have a passion for. I say it with air quotes. I'm an artist, but I have been smart enough to surround myself with really good artists and then sneak in the back door and go, yeah, and here's some of my stuff too. But I have met these artists over the years, and I have just enjoyed their work so much.
Starting point is 01:49:34 And the best ones, I think, are the ones that tell a story or bring you back to a time or make you feel something. You know, I was in where the, marry it in Washington, D.C. Oh, my gosh. All the art on the walls was just like splatters and, you know, scrapings. And it was just like, that doesn't mean anything.
Starting point is 01:49:56 I just hate this. And we need to start telling our story about America again and who we are. And so we got these 30 artists. They're some of the best in the country. Many of them would do Western art. and we brought them down and showed them at the museum and had them pick out some artifacts that would inspire them and then paint stories and I love this guy's work. Frank Ordaz he is an artist. He's from California, I think, still. And he has painted some really, really nice. I guess they look like old posters, but they're not. I'll let him describe them. Frank, how are you?
Starting point is 01:50:46 Hi, Mr. Beck. Thank you for having to go. You bet, you bet. I love the work you've produced for Hank Williams and Gene Autry and Johnny Cash. Can you tell me where you were going on this? Well, I wanted to do something different than all the other artists wanted to do. And, you know, one of my early passions growing up was music. always has been music. And that was actually my first love. Then I realized I really wasn't that
Starting point is 01:51:17 good at it. Even though I played trumpet, it's just, it's just one of those things where, like, you might like football, but if you don't have the body per football, you're not going to get too far. And so, uh, I, I put all my, uh, A's in the basket when it came to art and everybody just started encouraging me. And my, my dad used to, even though we grew up in East LA, my dad would play all sorts of music. He'd play country music. He'd play opera. He would play his salsa.
Starting point is 01:51:47 So I remember listening to Marty Robinson, you know, the western town of El Paso. And I learned about, I remember when I went, I did my vision quest, so to speak, out of school. And I went across the country and I couldn't find rock and roll because I was listening to rock and roll all the time. And all I heard was Johnny Cash, Doris Jones, Muriel Haggard. And I went into the gas station, so I thought I'd get some rock and roll. And I always saw were tapes and tapes at that time was all cassette tapes of Johnny Cash. I just got Johnny Cash. And I came back to one of my first loves because, you know, I'm old enough to remember the Johnny Cash show.
Starting point is 01:52:35 Remember that? That TV show? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And so I decided, you know, I listened to Hank Williams when I'm painting. I'm listening to Gene Autry because I love the old cowboy music. I was winged on Roy Rogers. And I decided, you know, I'm just going to, I'm going to go with that.
Starting point is 01:52:54 And hopefully that people will like it. And, you know, when I became a Christian, one of the first songs that inspired me was I saw the light. And I didn't know that Hank Williams, I'd heard in church, but I didn't know that Hank Williams had written that song. And I remember starting to weep when I heard that. It made such a huge impression on me. And as I read a book by Bob Dylan called Chronicles, he said his inspiration, one of the main inspirations was Hank Williams.
Starting point is 01:53:23 And I went full circle, started reading about his life, and didn't realize that he actually, because he looked old to me, it looked like he was in his 50s, he died when he was 29. He had spine to bed. Wow, I didn't know that. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:53:37 Wow. And synobitha, so many ways, I have a son who has some back problems and hip problems. So I know what it's like when you want the chronic pain to go away. So I'm empathetic to the fact that he just started drinking at an early age and got fired from the grand old offer because he was unreliable. But he produced all these. He was a storyteller plant. He was a storyteller. And I love that.
Starting point is 01:54:07 So I wanted to make my paintings about Gene Autry, who's really big in Southern California, because he owned the Los Angeles Angels who became the Anaheim Angels. And I love the Angels. You know, most people are Dodgers. But I was an Angels fan. So I would see this guy in a cowboy hat. And I'm like, who is this? And then I realized after, you know, I got a little bit older,
Starting point is 01:54:30 there would be no Roy Rogers without a Gen Otry. Yeah. The original singing cowboy. And your Hank, I don't know how to describe these because they look like posters or covers of, you know, songs or something. They're beautiful, beautiful paintings. But in the Hank Williams, you have in the back, and I'm guessing there is a story behind all of it. The Holy Ghost Revival. Then you have the bar in the background.
Starting point is 01:55:01 Then you have a big blue Cadillac. I'm assuming these all have meaning. Absolutely. And, you know, Hank Williams, at one moment he would sing, I saw the light, and then the next moment, you know, you're cheating heart or, you know, hey, good looking, what you got cooking. And so he was raised in the Bible Belt. He, you know, he played with his mom in church. And he also did these moral, moralistic songs and records as Luke the dress. And that was like a pseudonym, but he hit his most one of his most famous songs that people
Starting point is 01:55:41 always wanted to hear was I heard my mother praying for me. Now you cannot play that song. I cannot hear that song without getting a little weepy because these songs are all time. These songs are really, they're written from the heart. And I love Merrill Haggard. He's a California boy from Bakersfield. And so, you know, you're all talking about, you know, Mama prayed or Mama cared. and I didn't do it. And a lot of people put that down. But you know what? These are stories that we all connect to.
Starting point is 01:56:10 And sometimes, you know, we're a little too highfalutant, especially when we get out of college. You know, when I came out of college, I graduated an atheist. And because that's what we have to do to perform. And then when I became a born-again Christian, I just came full circle, realized there is a God, and I'm not him. And I have a photo control of my life. And so that song, that painting is a homage to I Saw the Light.
Starting point is 01:56:42 You could not go anywhere in the South during, you know, 30s, 40 without seeing these pet revivals. So that's what that's thought. So that's the historical aspect of, you know, the Holy Ghost revival. And there's miracles. When I got saved, I remember listening to Pastor Schaumbach. There were people in your audience who knew who I'm talking about. He was that, you know, Holy Ghost preaching.
Starting point is 01:57:09 So that is like, you know, expect a miracle today, brother. That's the thing. I know it. I know it. Can I ask you about your earlier life? Because you worked for George Lucas. You did the background paintings for Return of the Jedi and E.T. What a different time it was when we were doing matte paintings for films.
Starting point is 01:57:35 What did you take from that experience? Well, I always loved cinema. I loved music, art, and movies. And my dream after I graduated Art Center College of Design, which is in Pasadena, was to work on Star Wars. And I guarantee you, I was typical everybody of my age who was in art school. We wanted to work for George Lucas because they were just producing some incredible art, art, paintings, and just the whole look that he created a world. And so they called me,
Starting point is 01:58:10 and I got hired. And so back then, see, I love painting. And so we were painting these six-foot paintings that the opening to ET, which I painted, was one of the first paintings I did for Industrial Light Magic, which was George Lucas's special effects company. that was about a 10-foot painting. And a lot of the guys there helped me because I was just totally freaked out. And Dennis Buren, who was one of the supervisors there, said, you know, Stephen Spielberg's going to see this on Monday. And that was Friday. So I worked Saturday and Sunday just to make sure it look good because I was nervous.
Starting point is 01:58:52 I thought, you know, if this doesn't work, I'm going to get fired. So working there back in the early 80s, I learned to work. work every day. It helped me with my work ethic, because before that, I would do a painting and then go for the beach, right? I was a real lazy artist, but it really taught me how to perform at a high level every day because all the other painters around me were excellent. Everybody there was excellent. It's just, I'll tell you, Mr. Beck, it was a really powerful moment in my graduation, and what does it take to really be a pro? Right.

Glenn Beck program. So Trump
Starting point is 02:03:34 appealed the E. Jean Carroll verdict. I think the judge just kind of laughed him out. Yeah. That's the impression I got from the coverage, basically. They're very skeptical of the arguments he's making, which was basically that a couple of the witnesses
Starting point is 02:03:52 shouldn't have been able to testify and that they shouldn't been able to play the Access Hollywood tape, which I was watching a clip from MSNBC where the woman was explaining what the Access Hollywood tape is. And of course, obviously you don't need to explain that. Everyone knows what it was.
Starting point is 02:04:09 And she gets in the middle of it. She's like, I just grab them by. That's all you need to say. Right. Everyone remembers. Everybody knows. Right. But she says, and I will not finish it.
Starting point is 02:04:17 Don't worry. Stations. But she says, well, excuse the expression on national television, but grab them by the, and she goes for it. Which is strange. I feel like they hide so much information about what people say and what people do when it does not work for their interest. But they'll go full out and say whatever they need to to make Donald Trump look one-tenth
Starting point is 02:04:42 of a percent worse. Yeah. No, I mean, they talked about Hunter Biden's laptop and what was on there. They showed those pictures. Right, they didn't. They exposed that 100 percent. No, they didn't. They didn't at all.
Starting point is 02:04:56 They didn't read all of his text messages, you know, on the air. They didn't do any of that stuff. It's as if they're not actually reporting and maybe instead are advocates for one side of this particular campaign. What? I know. You're crazy. I know it's not true. I'm just saying it almost seems like it's true sometimes.
Starting point is 02:05:20 You might seem that way, but it's certainly not. What reality are you living in? I know. It's a crazy, crazy world. Excuse the expression on national television, but it's a load of... All right. Have a great weekend. Don't miss the podcast tomorrow.
