Summary

The Glenn Beck Program – April 29, 2026

Episode: Glenn's Controversial Take on the Comey Seashell Indictment
Guest: Benny Johnson
Theme: Navigating American media standards, the FCC, political outrage, and the Comey indictment

Episode Overview

This episode features an in-depth, candid discussion between Glenn Beck and Benny Johnson about the intersection of morality, free speech, federal broadcasting standards, and partisan controversies. The main focus is the fallout from Jimmy Kimmel’s controversial comments about Melania Trump, public outrage at the lack of media accountability, and a passionate debate on whether the FCC should intervene. The program also addresses the indictment of James Comey (“the seashell thing”), government fraud, and political hypocrisy.

The tone is classic Glenn Beck: irreverent, passionate, and rooted in his long broadcasting experience, with plenty of humor, direct listener engagement, and rousing calls to action.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Glenn vs. Benny Johnson on Jimmy Kimmel, FCC, and Media Standards

Moral vs. Regulatory Obligations:
- Benny opens by breaking the issue down into the moral obligation, regulatory obligation, and movement-building obligation.
- Both agree that Kimmel’s comments (“Melania Trump has the glow of an expectant widow”) would be immediately career-ending if made about Jill Biden or any Democrat (07:50).
- The outrage centers on the double standard of allowable speech, especially regarding the treatment of conservatives.
FCC's Role & Technicalities:
- Benny’s Argument: Because ABC is a federal broadcast licensee (using public spectrum), there are enforceable standards—profanity, obscenity, incitement, and operating “in the public interest”—that Kimmel’s comments may have violated.
- “Jimmy Kimmel shouldn’t be able to use my tax dollars at force, which is what’s going on.” — Benny Johnson (13:31)
- Glenn: Pushes back, noting the difference between cable and network TV, the historical context, and doubts about the direct taxpayer subsidy argument.
Taxpayer Subsidy Debate:
- Benny argues that broadcast licenses, spectrum access, and government regulatory resources represent a public subsidy.
- Glenn and callers clarify: while it is a privilege and a public resource, local stations—not networks—hold the license, and station infrastructure is privately funded (17:06–19:17).
Activating the Movement:
- Benny calls for the right to “wield power with an iron fist” and to pressure local ABC affiliates via complaints, referencing recent successful campaigns that led to Kimmel being pulled off-air in some markets (21:45).
- “When the left gets an opportunity to exercise power over us, they take it and they wield it with an iron fist. And I’m calling for the right to do the same thing.” — Benny Johnson (22:14)

2. How the FCC and Public Complaints Work

Local Station Licenses & Public Files:
- Glenn and former station executive “Dom” explain: local stations are required to maintain public inspection files (now online) of community complaints, correspondence, and programming records (25:21–34:31).
- High volumes of letters/complaints citing violations of “public interest” could trigger FCC scrutiny of a station’s license.
- “The one thing that makes them sweat is records. If you don’t keep those logs...the FCC can pull our license at any time.” — Glenn Beck (33:58)
Strategies for Listeners:
- Glenn encourages listeners to write specific, standards-based complaints to their local stations and cc the FCC (58:53–60:00).
- Organizing at the local affiliate level is more effective than targeting national networks.

3. Comey Indictment (“Seashell Thing”)

Beck’s Evolving View:
- Glenn reviews his past comments: initially thought Comey's "86" metaphor regarding the president was just about removal, not violence, but changed his view after hearing from experts on criminal language (69:24).
- He’s skeptical the indictment (threatening the president via an Instagram seashell post) will hold constitutionally—feels it's too flimsy unless more evidence emerges (73:24).
- “If this is the best the FBI has on Comey, we’re in trouble.” — Glenn Beck (75:47)
- Glenn does not want justice pursued through weak or ambiguous legal channels that could backfire and erode trust further.

4. Broader Frustration with Institutional Corruption

Beck voices outrage at ongoing fraud (SNAP beneficiaries with luxury cars, government waste in California’s high-speed rail, etc.) and the general sense that lawbreakers “on the left” never face accountability (95:17).
He presses the importance of fair, principled law enforcement, not weaponizing justice for partisan payback.

5. Other Notable Topics

Political Manipulation of Media Classifications:
- Networks allegedly reclassify late-night as “news” to skirt equal time rules, but present as entertainment when convenient.
- “You don’t get to move back and forth between the categories depending on the benefits of the moment.” — Glenn Beck (58:37)
Action vs. Catharsis:
- Beck repeatedly urges listeners not to just vent but to engage tangibly—writing complaints, boycotting, choosing better media, and holding local broadcasters to account.
- “I don’t want the government to have more power…But we’re in a fight.” — Glenn Beck (63:10)

6. Listener Calls & Expert Q&A

Listeners bring anecdotes and clarification about FCC procedure and subsidies, with Glenn and Dom answering in detail about the current requirements for public files and station responsibility.

Memorable Quotes & Moments (With Timestamps)

Moral Standard Double Standard

“You wouldn’t even have been able to finish your opening monologue if you had said Michelle Obama deserves to be a widow.”
— Benny Johnson (07:50)
FCC & Taxpayer Subsidy

“Jimmy Kimmel shouldn’t be able to use my tax dollars at force, which is what’s going on.”
— Benny Johnson (13:31)
On Outrage as a Political Weapon

“When the left gets an opportunity to exercise power over us, they take it and they wield it with an iron fist. And I’m calling for the right to do the same thing.”
— Benny Johnson (22:14)
On Local Station Vulnerability

“The one thing that makes them sweat is records. If you don’t keep those logs, you don’t keep the records, the FCC can pull our license at any time.”
— Glenn Beck (33:58)
On Weak Indictments

“If this is the best the FBI has on Comey, we’re in trouble.”
— Glenn Beck (75:47)
On Movement-Building over Mere Outrage

“I don’t want president. I understand him. I feel for him and especially Melania...But this is the way to do it with the FCC. It must come from you.”
— Glenn Beck (63:01)

Recap & Takeaways

Glenn Beck and Benny Johnson offer a robust debate and a united front on the need for media standards and accountability, pushing listeners to act locally rather than rely on government overreach.
The episode blends outrage at current events (Kimmel’s comments, Comey’s indictment, rampant fraud) with practical advice on influencing the system via local activism, complaints, and shaping public files.
Beck’s consistent message: Do not cede the moral high ground and do not invite government censorship. Instead, demand enforcement of existing laws and use the tools and levers available—especially local station complaints.
The broader context: This isn’t just about speech or outrage; it’s about trust in institutions, fair law enforcement, and reclaiming public standards from partisan manipulation.

For listeners: If you’re concerned about media bias or misconduct—get active locally, document your complaints, and demand accountability from your own community’s broadcasters. And, as always, stay principled, vigilant, and creative in your activism.

What happened yesterday at the White House was pretty remarkable. But what a snot that guy is. I'm sorry. I know he's the king. I know he's the king. But I'm glad we're away from him. We'll get into that here in just a little while. First, let me tell you about ruff greens. Listen. Oh, by the way, Benny Johnson's gonna be on with me in a second because we have a disagreement and I, I have real respect for Benny and, And he disagreed with me online yesterday and I wanted to have a conversation with him on that. We'll talk about it coming up in just a second. Look, if you. If you don't want your dog to have more energy, I mean, I guess I sort of get it.

Benny Johnson (10:28)

I get my. I get my ass kicked across the street and into the soybean field. That's what would happen in Chewyville, Iowa, where I'm from, probably where you're from too, I would assume. Right. Nobody would ever like. In no universe is Jimmy Kimmel's explanation of this logical. Not with other first Ladies, not with your wife, not with anyone's wife. So. And on every level, this should be knocked down. And the FCC is going to. The FCC took action against ABC News in their own station yesterday. And I want to talk through why this is different than what we could say on this program or what we could say anywhere else. Because you are free to say that you are free. I would be free is. I would be free to walk into that bar and suffer the consequences of the farmer punching me in the mouth. Jimmy Kimmel is free to stand on a street corner, pick up a cardboard box, scribble on it and yell whatever he wants. He's gone to no Kings protests. He's done this. I'm not saying Jimmy Kimmel shouldn't do this. I'm not against Jimmy Kimmel's free speech. That's free speech. What I am against is taxpayer subsidized calls to assassination, which is what we are doing right now with Jimmy Kimmel. Let me explain. Jimmy Kimmel operates on a federal broadcast license. This is from the fcc. These are authorities that were granted to specific networks in 1923. These specific networks have an option to operate on an electromagnetic spectrum that is considered a scarce public resource that the FCC manages and licenses specifically to prevent interference between stations so that they can have licensures and broadcast in times of emergency. These broadcasters must serve in the public interest and convenience and necessity and have core legal standards and obligations under the 1924 Communications Acts. These licensees do not own the spectrum. The government owns the spectrum. The government gives them a temporary privilege to use that spectrum. This applies to some am, FM radio stations. It applies to all major public broadcasters. That would be pbs, abc, NBC and cbs. They have to exist under a fair time, equal time in the public interest broadcast viewers. And they can be penalized or have their licenses stripped if they are found to be broadcasting profanity pornography, if they are found to be broadcasting untruths, things that they know are verifiable lies. If they're found to be operating outside of the public interest, which is a broad legal descriptor of what your broadcast should be. And I would argue, Glenn, that since Jimmy Kimmel is using this billion, if not trillions of dollars of infrastructure that was built by the government, that's maintained by the taxpayers, that has been serviced by our federal dollars, that he should have to apply for these standards. And these standards do not cover him making fun of Charlie Kirk's assassination, calling for the assassination of a duly elected president. In no universe should that be allowed. So that is impermissible under the operations of Jimmy Kimmel's and ABC News's lavish privileges that they get from the federal taxpayer dollars. Jimmy Kimmel can do what every other bum does and get on, get on a street corner with a cardboard. He can start a YouTube, he can go on Spotify. Jimmy Kimmel can do whatever the hell he wants. He can do smoke signals up in the mountains. That's also free speech. But Jimmy Kimmel shouldn't be able to use my tax dollars at force, which is what's going on. Because if you don't pay taxes and I don't pay taxes to Jimmy Kimmel, we go to prison. So that's force. With that force and with that privilege comes standards. Therefore, Jimmy Kimmel should be ripped off air and the FCC should do a full investigation of ABC and their broadcast licenses. And sure as shooting, Glenn, that's exactly what they're doing right now.

Glenn Beck (14:21)

All right, let me take a one minute break and I come back and I want to talk to you about the regulations because I think you're incorrect about the regulation. I want to, I want to understand what you're saying about taxpayer subsidies because there is no maintenance to the public spectrum. However, you are absolutely right on the standards. But I want to understand what you're saying about taxpayer subsidy. How you're, how you're getting, how you're getting there. We'll do that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about Super Sure. If you own a business, I'm, you know, I'm guessing anytime somebody says the word insurance, you immediately, you know, reach out for the crucifix and garlic. Because a lot of business owners look at insurance like some kind of curse that is passed down through the generations. Mysterious. It is endless. And terms, no conditions. Terms and conditions that no human has ever actually said out loud. They, they cause more questions than give answers. This is why I want you to know about Super Sure. It is built to make commercial insurance clearer, faster and less painful for business owners who already have enough to do. You look, you do everything already. The last thing you need to do is look at somebody go are we insured for that? I don't know. What do you mean you don't know? You, you'll be able to understand all of your policies. You'll be able to get the best pricing on all of the. This is, this, this system can look through AI all of the policies. Your insurance agent can't do that. They can look through all of the policies and find the right one for your specific business and exactly what you're looking for. So somebody comes back and they're like, hey, can we file a claim for this? You'll know immediately. Find out, no obligation. If you're overinsured or underinsured. Just go to supersure.com beck that's super sure.com Beck One super agency, one powerful platform and all of your policies in one place. Supersure.com back page four by Super Sure Insurance Agency LLC, a licensed insurance agency. 10 seconds. State station ID. Okay, so tell me about the taxpayer funding. Go a little deeper on that for me, Benny. And then let's talk about the movement. Because you said it was moral. I think you've made the case on that. Regulatory. I'm not sure. And then what it means for the movement. So let's go back to the. The funding.

Glenn Beck (26:37)

I don't believe. I don't believe that to be true. I would have to check into it with an attorney, but I don't believe that to be true. Look, this is. This is what is called the public inspection file. When. When Benny was talking about, you know, the network, and the network benefits from this. It's that. Forget about the network. The network doesn't matter. The network doesn't care about anything. It. Because the network is, you know, NBC is already doing Peacock and everything else. They're going online. It's the local stations that matter. The network does not get a license from the federal government. What gets a license from the federal government are the local stations. And the FCC has always demanded that there is a public inspection file. Now, it used to be literally a file cabinet. And anyone could walk in and say, I want to see your public inspection file. And you could walk into your local station and they would have to put you in a room with that cabinet, and you could go through everything in their file. Okay? Because it's. It's your public. Right. And that has changed in this regard. They don't have to keep a literal file cabinet. It is now mainly kept online. And it is. It's hosted through the FCC database system. So there is a database that they have to keep. And what they have to keep are the political advertising records, who bought ads, how much did you charge, etc. Etc. Any request for airtime that was denied, they have to keep record of that. Programming obligations. Which things have you done that are in the public interest? Where did you go the extra mile? You have to keep all of the ownership information. And this has been limited, but not erased, the complaints and correspondence. So. And this is where. This is where you make local stations sweat. If you know that you're going into the public inspection file. And I will do some more homework so I can give this to you tomorrow to make sure that it is exactly right. But when you go in and you write a letter and you are using specific language like, this is not in the public interest. This is a violation of our community standards. When the FCC walks in, and believe me, they will walk in, because that's what they're talking about doing now is walking in and looking at those inspection files or those public files and inspecting them, when they see 500, 600, a thousand letters saying, this is a violation of our community standards. This is not in our public interest. You're in violation of serving your own community. The FCC then has an obligation to say what did you do about these? How did you respond to these? If at least in the old days, I will again check out to make sure I know it is required to keep these things online. I don't know what the limiting factors are now I have to check. But if you have destroyed anything, if you, because you want to always CC the FCC on this, if they haven't kept something that you sent to them and to the fcc they're in real trouble. And this is the only thing that makes a, a television station or a radio station sweat. Can you get Dom on the phone for me? He'll know this about radio. What are the public inspection files required to do? Yeah, have him call. Yeah, Dom, if you're listening. Dom is the program, program director of the, of this program and all the other programs that we do on, on audio. And he is, he was, he was a vice president of cbs. He'll know this answer right off the top of his head. And he owns stations now, so he'll know. But yes, it is my understanding they have to keep it. And that is the Achilles heel. Forget about the network. The network does not care. The network doesn't care. Now the local stations, when they pull something like Jimmy Kimmel now they're going to be in trouble because let's say they say this is not in our, in our interest. Now CBS can say really good, well then you're in violation. Unless it's in their contract, you're in violation of the network. You have to take our prime time, you have to take our commercials and our prime time. And you may have to be, you may be required to take certain other elements to be able to keep your contract with the network. You lose the network. Now that local station is going, I've got to fill 10 hours every day or 12 hours. I don't have the programming. So the local station is right in a crap storm on all of this. But that's the Achilles heel. I hope that answers your question. Let me see. Let's go to Colt in Texas. Hello, Colt, a great name only from Texas.

Glenn Beck (38:39)

Oh, yeah. I mean, it was abc, Disney. The one thing Disney did not do is screw around with lawyers, man. I mean, they were just. They were ruthless and they knew the law. And if you were violating and you're in the inside, they don't protect you. They would throw you onto the electric fence. It's. It's quite a different world. Dom, I want you to listen. I'm gonna. I'm gonna give my analysis of all this and where I stand on this, and I'd love for you to just listen to it and check back with me and. And see, because Ricky just said. I think Dom is saying that you're wrong, Glenn. And I don't think he is. I don't think he is. No, but. Well, we'll get into the here in a little. Maybe we'll talk to you a little later. Thank you, Dom. Appreciate it. Let me tell you about rapid radios. And you're thinking about preparedness. It is important to remember that you, you know, you don't want to just kind of be prepared.

Glenn Beck (42:38)

All right, so I want to give you my final piece on this and then we're going to move on because we also have to talk about James Comey and what happened with James Comey in the shell thing. Oh, God. I mean, let me just say this here. One thing is very clear. Either Pam Bondi was not doing her job or we have somebody in as the acting Attorney general who really wants the job. Because things are changing and, you know, you'll have to decide whether that's changing in a good way or a bad way. I'm looking at the James Comey thing and, you know, I wish we were going on something a little stronger, but let's look at this. We'll talk about that coming up in just a second. Also, the Clinton foundation, the TSA, and the speech Trump gave with the king yesterday. Unbelievable speech yesterday in Washington. Coming up, one of the most frustrating parts of hearing loss is that it can make you really feel disconnected without ever announcing itself. You're still in the room, you're still nodding along, still showing up, but you're working a lot harder just to keep up. And sometimes you're guessing more than you'd like to admit and you're just hoping, don't ask me anything because I don't know what we're talking about anymore. What stops a lot of people from doing anything about it is not denial. It's the process. It's the doctor appointments, the multiple visits, the adjustments, the price tag that makes you go, how is what? So people wait and you shouldn't have to. Audien was built to remove those barriers. They have the Atom X. It is an over the counter hearing aid designed to be straightforward and approachable without prescriptions or complicated setups.

Please try it. Audienhearing.com take control of your hearing today. Crank the game. Glamback is on. Glamback is on. The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Glenn Beck is on America. For years now, we have watched as the foundations of our country the very idea that no one is above the law being chipped away day after day after day. And you feel betrayed. You're exhausted. Quite honestly, you're furious. I am. Justifiable anger. Because you're seeing what happening, and then you see all the lies. I mean, you know, just. I mean, just look at the, you know, World Economic Forum and the Great Reset. That's not happening. That's not happening. That's not happening. Dei. That's not happening. That's not. And then it happens. And they're like, okay, well, maybe it is happening, but it's no big deal. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of. You are good, you're decent, you work hard, you pay your taxes, you. You want fairness, actual fairness. And then you see these officials come in and treat the law like it's optional for them, a requirement for us, in fact. We have to live beyond the law. Ironclad for us, but optional for them. The Russian collusion hoax, the Clinton foundation, which is back in the news. Epstein, Joe Biden's corruption, his son's corruption, the laptop, China, Ukraine, Anthony Fauci and the COVID nonsense, All of it. And this is just scratching the surface. I get it. I feel exactly the way you do. I have had a front row seat and so have you, watching the slow erosion of trust in our institutions, wondering if anyone in power is going to be held accountable. And that sinking feeling that everything in our system is rigged against the very people it's supposed to protect. So we find ourselves today looking at a couple of things with James Comey and then with Jimmy Kimmel. And the feeling is, get em take the gloves off. I just gave a speech in Washington D.C. the other day where I said, take the gloves off. It is no more Mr. Nice Guy. Take the gloves off. But what does that mean? I'm going to talk about that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about Realestate agents. I trust.com. this is my company. This is a company that I started. We started working with the 500 Best Real Estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal. And we found out what do they do? What do they do that makes them the 500 best real estate agents in the country.

Glenn Beck (48:14)

And then we found that pattern. We learned from them, and we started finding more of those people. And now I'll turn you on to those people. It's a free ca. I don't. I don't charge you anything for that. You just interview them. If you like them, then you can hire them. But this is a Group of people that, hey, they're all fans of the show. We have vetted six ways to Sunday and we watch them. They don't work for me. We just monitor. If they are not what they said they were, if they're not performing, if somehow or another they start sliding, we know it immediately and we don't recommend them. Even in a tough market, these people can help you buy or sell a home. And the name says it all. It's Real estate agents I trust.com realestate agentsitrust.com okay, I want to talk to you about Jimmy Kimmel. And last hour I had Benny Johnson on. We had a great conversation with Benny because he disagreed with me yesterday when I said, look, I understand. I understand how the President feels, Melania feels. I mean, I feel that one deeply. I feel it because my own family has come under attack and my own family has been in danger. Not like the President, not like the first lady, but we have been in danger. And enough is enough. Enough is enough. And I'm tired of the lies. I'm tired of them getting. I am tired of Jimmy Kimmel being on the air and lying. Lying to the American people right after Charlie Kirk dies and says this was their own side. No, he wasn't. No, it wasn't. Never corrected that. Never held accountable for that. You can't do that. Well, you can if you're an entertainment program, because then it's just your opinion, your entertainer, you know, I'm just making people laugh. Really? So then, wait a minute. What are you doing now? What are you. What, what are you doing now? You're just making people laugh? Is that what's happening? Because a lot of people aren't laughing. And the solution is, in a, in a decent society, the solution is Jimmy Kimmel feels like dog crap. When he gets up. He doesn't say. Then I open up my email to a bunch of vomitus comments. He gets up in the morning, he's like, I made this joke. I feel so horrible about it. It. You know, in a, in a real world, he would have called Melania Trump and said, I didn't mean any of that. That's not what I meant. I am so sorry. What an ill time, Joe. I will never do that. But he's not going to because that's not who he is. And we don't live in a decent society anymore. And that is the real problem. You can only regulate so much. We are living in a system that is wholly inadequate for a non religious, irreligious and immoral people. You can't. There's not enough laws. Now, what Jimmy Kimmel said, you know, he doubled down on it. Play a little clip of Jimmy Kimmel the other night where he's doubling down on this.

It was clearly not. If I would have said that about Jill Biden, I would have been fired, and I should have been fired. Jill Biden, you have the look of an expectant widow. I would have never even thought of that. I would have never said that. You know, look, if you're gonna be Lenny Bruce, at least be funny and clever. You're not. You're not. This guy is a radio morning show hack. That's what he is. Okay? And he loves this. Now, let's look at the speech here. On the surface, this looks like a speech fight. Can the government go after ABC for something Jimmy Kimmel said? On Jimmy Kimmel Live, carried by abc? The instinct is, this isn't funny anymore. This is just political messaging. This is. This is somebody who has repeatedly helped call in the assassin culture. No, no, you can't do that. But if you go straight for the speech itself, you're gonna lose, because the First Amendment is super strong, as it should be. Satire, comedy, commentary, opinion, all protected ground. And the government doesn't get to referee jokes and decide which one went too far. And I don't want it to ever, ever, ever. The do stay closed on that. It has to. Yesterday I said that I don't like. I feel for the President and I feel for Melania Trump. I know to a very small degree what they're feeling. Very small. Degree. None of us can relate to it, cuz no one has ever gone through this. And I can understand him going enough is enough. But I don't want the government reacting to the individual. We are a nation of laws and not men. Okay, but this isn't what is. This isn't about what's being said. It's about what the networks say it is. Buried in the communication law is an idea of equal time. Now this is a requirement that if a broadcaster gives airtime to one political candidate, it has to offer comparable access to others. Now there is exemptions and this is where this becomes very important. And I believe this is the path for the FCC if they want to take it. There are two paths and it's as this or nothing gang if something. Back in the Communications act of 1936, they put all kinds of fairness doctrine and everything else that we don't want. However this one remained and it is important. 1984, Ronald Reagan came in and said, look, I took my for. In 1978, I took my first FCC license test. Okay? I know this inside and out. Um, I've dealt with the FCC my whole life and I hate the FCC my whole life. So let's just, let's think this one through. 1984, Ronald Reagan comes in and says look, they're, they're. The networks aren't the only game in town anymore. So we can relax. A lot of these rules, we're not going to regulate what's happening on cable because those are not airwaves. So that's why you get cable swearing and everything else and you still can't get it on cbs. But there are standards. And one of the things that was left in place but never enforced was equal time. And here's what this was back in 1936, they realized that, you know, broadcasters could become very nefarious and very clever if therefore fdr, let's say they could have FDR on, you know, their version of Friends or whatever. They could have them on a really cool show. You could have Arsenio hall have Bill Clinton on and he'll play the saxophone. And if you wanted to, you could take a really uncool person if you just wrote it, right? And you could have him on series of episodes and you could make him popular. And so they, they realized you cannot have equal time for news. News is just news. I can't say here's what the President said and then go have to find the other side of everything because news is happening. So news was exempt from this. But entertainment Was not equal time. You're gonna put him on. You have to have the other side, okay? That's the key to make sure that no one could gin up the support. But that's not enforced anyone. So the allegation, the claim that people are circling right now is that networks have, over time, blurred the line. And in fact, they've done more than that, I would bet, and I don't know, but I have heard that late night is now classified as a news program. I know the View is. And the View part of it is because it started with ABC and so is produced by the news division. But that doesn't make it a news show. But that's closer to a new show than anything on late night television, if late night television. And it is my understanding, and I'm not sure about Jimmy Kimmel, we'd have to check. But it's my understanding that these are classified with the FCC as news shows. Is it news? Is Jimmy Kimmel news? No. It is taped hours before it airs. It doesn't operate like a newsroom. It doesn't cover breaking developments in real time. It's built around monologues and sketches and entertainment and political commentary layered in. But it is not a news show, okay? In fact, the only newsmaker that they've had on political newsmaker in the last two months was Gavin Newsom. That's it. Same question for the View. Is that straight news or is that a panel of host offering opinions, reactions, arguments to the day? Uh, and it's mainly entertainment, I think, with the View.

Glenn Beck (58:37)

I'm not sure if that's mainly entertainment because they are talking about the news every day in ways I despise. But is it a new show? I dunno. Be careful because am I a new show? Now? Here's where the FCC might have a legitimate lane. Are broadcasters accurately representing what their programming is when, if, if Jimmy Kimmel or any of the late night shows on any network is labeled to get around the FCC rules. Rules that the FCC still has, but has not enforced for a long time. If a show is truly news, then it gets certain consideration. If it's entertainment, that's different entirely. And you don't get a move back and forth between the categories depending on the benefits of the moment. This is the argument. And if that argument holds, if the network is effectively saying this is news when it protects us and entertainment when they want freedom, then there is something a regulator can do. And not just for one show. Again, all of them across every single network. I am not for inventing new laws. I am for enforcing the laws already on the books. Now, I don't, I can't tell you. Brendan Carr could tell you how it's classified with the fcc. But my guess is that ABC is doing this and I've heard that other networks are doing it as well, that they have reclassified, reclassified late night TV as news. No, Nightline was news. You know, Jimmy Kimmel is not News. Now, the FCC's authority is not unlimited here, but they do have a case on this. If that's the case, then they should make it. Now, there is another one, another case that I think is just as strong, if not stronger. I don't want the FCC shutting down comedians. I don't want them pulling a license over a monologue. Okay? But what's already on the books. What's already on the books needs to be enforced. Now here's the other thing. Shoot. It's late. Let me give it, give me one minute and I'm going to come back and I'm going to tell you the other thing that makes a difference. I do not want this led by Washington and the fcc. I want this to be led by, by the people. And there is a way to do this. It's going to take time, but it is the right way without inventing new powers or anything else. I'll give that to you here in 60 seconds. First, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Sometimes is the important thing to know is that another human being you know is there for you. They're there. The knowledge that somebody has that I haven't been forgotten, that does every. That's hopeful. Right now in Israel, there are elderly men and women and families with children, people living under a constant threat of rockets and violence. There are people who wake up every day to siren several times in the middle of the night and have to run to a shelter. And in moments like that, isolation can feel really heavy. This is why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews matters so much. They bring food to the hungry. They help with urgent needs. They care for the elderly. They help families get through days most of us can hardly imagine. But. But just as importantly, they send a message. You're not alone. You're not abandoned. Somebody across the world sees you, cares about you, standing with you. I don't care what your government is doing. I care about you. Give the gift of hope to God's people because we're God's people too. And we need to stand together. Don't wait. Call 888-488-IFCJ, 888-488-ICCJ. Or go online to ifcj.org that's ifcj.org 10 seconds. Station ID. All right, I want to give one more thing on this, and then I'm gonna move on. This is the thing that I talked about a little bit last hour, and I've talked about this before. If you want to make a difference, especially with abc, there's two things. Stop going to Disney World. Get your churches and everybody else to organize and boycott Disney World. I mean, it's really easy to do. Who can afford to go there in the first place that they care about that? If you want the FCC to do something, you must write a letter to your local station. And the letter to the local ABC Philly affiliate says, you have a public interest. You're violating the public interest. You are violating our community standards. You are not serving your community. You say those things and that. That puts a station on high alert. You have. They have to keep that file. You have to send it to your local station and CC the fcc. When those things start to stack up, you got a thousand letters like that. The FCC then can go in and say, we're looking at your license. What did. How did you respond to these people? What did you do? How did you react to that? Did you just dismiss this? That gives the FCC reason to look into these things. Because you know what? In New York City, Jimmy Kimmel is not violating community standards. He's not. But in a lot of cities, he is violent. He is. And ABC doesn't care about anything. The local stations, that's what they care about. That's what they care about. And the local stations, if you pit them against abc, ABC is just a network. They're hiring to provide programming. Okay? They could do that for anybody. They just happen to have the abc, you know, catalog. If ABC becomes a problem for the local stations and the local owners are like, we're going to lose our license, they begin to act and they begin to push back on ABC and say, you're not losing our license for us. That's what causes the turmoil. It has to be done by the local stations. That just requires the FCC to enforce the law. Both of these things require the FCC to do nothing except enforce the law that is already there. You're not making up new rules. You're not doing anything. You are just asking the federal government to enforce the law. And isn't that our frustration? Is it not? I don't want the government to have more power. I don't want the FCC to have more power. I want, honestly, I want them to have less power. But we're in a fight. You don't leave any tool in the box unless it's so disproportionate that you, you know, it's crazy to use. You don't bring a nuclear weapon to a knife fight. But we are at war. And it's a war for our country and our civilization. These are two ways I don't want president. I understand him. I feel for him and especially Melania. This has got to stop. But this is the way to do it with the fcc. It must come from you and the, the rest of it, they just must enforce the law because Jimmy Kimmel can't get away with this if he happens to be classified as news that's not news. And that they can change tomorrow. All right, let me tell you about Simplisafe. Peace of mind is one of those things that you don't fully appreciate until you don't have it. And it's hard to relax in your own home when every strange noise makes you wonder. It's hard to travel comfortably when you're checking cameras every 10 minutes. That's why Simplisafe is so great.

Glenn Beck (69:24)

So that's the way I remember it. I remember at first saying 86, because I believe 86. It came from something in New York. I'm pulling this way out of my butt. Somebody in New York during. During Prohibition. And one street address on one side was like 125th, and on the other side of the block, it was like 86. And it meant get out of that. Go 86 it. So go through the 86 exit because the cops are coming in for the other exit. And so I interpreted it more like that. But then I remember hearing Tulsi Gabbard talk about it, and she talked about him with the mob and how the mob uses 86. That is the order to kill. And. And I. So I. I adjusted and was like, well, no, he's not more of a historian. He's more of a prosecutor with the mob. He would know exactly what that means. Okay, so I'm still there. He knew what that meant. This whole innocent bull crap. Okay. But now let's look at what he was indicted on. Here are the charges. Count one, threatening the president, a violation of US code 18 8. 71 8. I'm not going to read all these codes. It makes it a crime to knowingly and willfully make a threat to take the life of or inflict bodily harm on the President of the United States. Is that what he did? Is that what he did? You got to go back to the Vietnam War. The Supreme Court, There was a kid, this Jonathan Turley pointed this out the other day. There was a kid in the Vietnam War who said, if they give me a rifle to fight and I have the opportunity, the first one I'll shoot is lbj, okay? And the Supreme Court said that wasn't a violation. If that wasn't a violation, certainly Seashells is not. And I'm not saying that's right or wrong. I'm just saying that's where the court decided with lbj. And we were living in exactly the same kind of thing. People had been killed, et cetera, et cetera. Count two, transmitting a threat in interstate foreign commerce. I love this one. This prohibits knowingly transmitting via Instagram, which crosses state lines, a communication containing a threat to injure kill another person. The indictment uses similar reasonable recipient language as above. Maximum penalty is up to 10 years, five years for each count. Now, It's not going to make me popular with you today, but that's okay. My job is to tell you what I think and how I'm looking at it. And I'm not here to convince you of anything. I'm just here to tell you this is what I think. And this is not going to be popular with people who are sick and tired, because I am too sick and tired of these people getting away with anything. Um, and you know what? You could make a case to me that going after Al Capone for income tax was the right thing to do, but I wish we could get people on actual things that they did and not income tax. But. But I don't think this is income tax. I don't think you can prove anything now. Now, let me say this, Jason. What did I say earlier this morning when I first came in? We first talked about this. It's important that I preface it, and I didn't, so let me do it now. It is important that I preface it with. With what we know right now. For them to file this indictment with the Seashell picture seems pretty light, you know, I mean, that seems like anybody in the. In the office would go, yeah, that's not going to work. That's not going to hold. That'll be rejected immediately. So with what we. Other things that are in the indictment that we don't know of. And is there any indication of that, Jason?

Glenn Beck (80:03)

I'm not going to throw you under the bus. I want you to express your concerns. Keep it nice. Otherwise you have fat loser. But you go ahead and express those concerns. I'm not going to drag you into this in case it goes poorly. But here's what I want to do. I'm going to give you a. I'm going to give you a real task force, because when it comes to the election, people will forget a lot of things. They will forget and they will forgive. They will not forgive you for not paying attention to them. If they feel this administration has abandoned them and is no longer responding to them. It's just all about. It's just all about oil and the gas and all of this stuff. They are not going to have any patience for it at all. Donald Trump has taken and. And said to J.D. vance, go get the fraud. Go get him in Minnesota. More importantly, go get it in California. You get that fraud and you start nailing that and you start putting people away. A, you're gonna start feeling good about the government's doing stuff and putting bad guys away. You're also gonna go, hey, thank God somebody is looking out for the little guy and not giving all of our money away to all these fraudsters. And you're the guy who's doing it is gonna be running for President of the United States. It's a brilliant move. I think that's what he's doing. So fraud in Minnesota. Great move from our assistant Attorney general or acting Attorney General yesterday. The comey thing. Let's just watch to see if they have anything else. And the, the other fcc, we just covered that and told you exactly what has to happen there. I think that clears all of this up and lets people who are maga, people who believe in Donald Trump, keep their values, keep their principles, not be somebody who's out for blood and just head hunting, but demanding actual justice, using actual law. I think that's a win. I think yesterday was a win. All right. More in just a second. Let me tell you about American Financing. Some people get sideswiped in life. You know, medical bill, you never saw that one coming. Or a job change changes everything in life. You, you thought you understood your finances and then it's completely upside down. Higher prices are like that. Covid was like that. Gas prices are like that. And you're in a position where your credit cards become that bridge between paychecks and those are high interest rates. And they're not forgiving. I don't know if you know this. I don't think there's a lot of good people that work in the, in the credit card industry. You know what I'm saying? I don't think they actually care about you. That's why I wanted to tell you about American financing, because they do care. If you're a homeowner, you have options to consolidate your high interest debt, lower your monthly monthly payments, or put your home equity to work in a smarter way without resetting your low mortgage rate. This is the one thing I want you to call them and ask them. I've got a great rate on my mortgage. I don't want to reset that, but I've got these high interest. How can I keep my low interest rate and fix this with my credit cards? Call American Financing now. 8009-0624-4809-0624 440 or go to americanfinancing.net nmls182334nmlsconsumeraccess.org

Glenn Beck (87:05)

I can guarantee it. Have you ever been in a situation where somebody says, no, I'm sorry, you just need the paperwork. No, I'm sorry, you just need the paperwork. And it just goes on, on and on and on and on and on. And you can't get anywhere with anybody and you just lose your mind. This happened to a guy going into a bank and I want to tell you the story, tell you the story. He lost his mind. And it's going to make you feel good about yourself. It's going to make you see your life could be in complete chaos. And you'll be like, I'm not there. I'm not there. Wait till you hear this story coming up in just a second. First, let me tell you about chapter. You know, turning 65 should feel like a milestone. Instead, for a Lot of people, it feels like a millstone, you know, confetti cannon loaded with Medicare mailers. And you're like, what? Suddenly your mailbox is full? Your phone starts ringing. Every commercial promises something different. Everyone claims to have the perfect plan for you. And somehow the more information you get, the less clear anything becomes. This is, this is why I want to tell you about Chapter. These people who are selling Medicare programs, they'll all say they have the right thing for you, but they, none of them, none of them can look at the full spectrum, okay? None of them are using AI and they're all paid by those insurance providers to sign you up for whatever insurance that they are replaced. You need somebody like chapter. Chapter wants to make sure your, you know, 65 plus years are the best chapter in your life. They have helped listeners in this audience just in the last few months find better fitting plans and saved, I think it was like $1.5 million just in this audience. Just knowing that you're not getting steamrolled by a system, you know, kind of helps make sure that you don't feel so overwhelmed by things. Look, if you're 65 or it's on the horizon, you're wondering if your current plan still makes sense, don't wait. Give him a call. Call is free. Dial £250. Say the keyword chapter. £250, keyword chapter. Okay, this happened in India. Now all the way through, I want to show you how you count your blessings instead of sheep. You want to sleep at night. Count your blessings instead of sheep. First blessing, you don't live in India. Now, maybe you like curry, I don't know, but you don't live in India. And I'm just going to leave it at that. You might have a bad day, but it's not this bad. 50 year old guy walks into the bank

Glenn Beck (95:32)

Yeah, it's not. It's not. Do we have any idea? No, I'm telling you, I hope I really. You want to have credibility, Brooke, you want to have credibility? Make sure you go after a red state as well. Go after a red state. Make sure that you are looking at red states and blue states. Because I want their asses in prison as well. I want any politician who is stealing from the American people. Is there anything? Yeah, yeah, yeah, there is. Stealing from a church, going in and taking the tithing money and stealing that. Because then you're messing with God as well. Is there anything worse than taking money away from people who are struggling every day to pay their taxes, doing the right thing, paying their taxes, not looking for shortcuts, not trying to get out of it, not trying to scam anybody. They're actually working hard every day and paying their taxes and you steal from them. I gotta tell you, this is the winning angle on the election. This is 2028. If J.D. vance and his group or, you know, the MAGA group can actually expose all of this and begin to put people in jail and their. It's an estimated, an early estimation of $2 trillion over the four years of 2018-2022 for. I'm sorry, $2 trillion. $2 trillion. That's 5% of our national debt over four years. Can you imagine what happened between 2022 and 2026. You think it got better? Oh, man, I. I gotta tell you. I gotta tell you. I gotta tell you. Sorry. I can't give you your snap payment unless your sister shows up. Oh, I'll dig my sister up for this one. Yeah, you put these people in jail. Oh, I'll dig them up. I'll come with the bones on this one. And I don't think I'm alone in that. I think. I mean, I've just had enough. And I don't understand Californians. What is wrong with you? Seriously, what is wrong with you? I'm really. I want to know. I'm begging you. I'm not. I'm not trying to point fingers. I'm not pointing and laughing. I'm not accusing. I'm just. I'm seriously begging for information. Do you have a mental illness? Is it. Is it the weather? Is it the weather? Is the weather just so good? You're like, I don't care. They could set my children on fire. I don't care. It's 75 today. I can keep the windows open. There's no bugs. Is that what it is? Because I don't. And that does. And. And if that is what it is, Illinois, what the hell is wrong with you? Because you can never open the windows there. I mean, what is happening? What is happening? Okay, so the latest, and this comes from Blaze News, the splc, remember? They were. They were. We've got some informants on the inside. We have some inside. We have some inside for that. We've. Clansmen. Yeah, okay. They're Klansmen, but they don't want to be. They don't want to be Klansmen. But they are Klansmen. Yeah, but they're going to help us, you know? Okay. Okay. Apparently. Apparently, the one that they were bankrolling, one of the organizers, you know, of the rally in Charlottesville. He. He was. He was a true. He was a true believer. He was like, I don't know about you, but I love wizards and dragons, and if I can dress up as a grand dragon or wizard, I'm. I'm. I'm all in. Congratulations on that one. I can't wait until. Here's the good news. All of this stuff is falling apart. We need more time. We need a lot more time if we don't win. Can you white pill me a little bit on this one, Jason, on the election? Because it looks like now everything that the media is saying, at least at this point, at this point, it Looks like the Republicans are not in as much trouble as they thought they were or we thought they were.

Glenn Beck (105:47)

Some things have happened that have just fallen into place. I was telling Jason about earlier today. Some things that I've been working on for literally 10, 12 years and could not get anything to happen, all of a sudden went boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Everything fell into place. And they came to me like, Glenn, you'll never guess who just called us, wants to help. And it's the person that I've been trying to get for 12 years. We're going to reinvent the. Anyway, anyway, watch that. You can find it@glenn beck.com right now. And what's important about that is that's in Irving, Texas. And Irving is this great town. It's the most diverse, diverse zip code, I believe, in America. Okay. So it's very. It's great. But it also has some issues with some Islamists. And we're going to be taking care of some of that. We're planting a stake right in Irving. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor. Right? Is that where we are? No, we're not there yet. Sorry, Sarah. I'm hearing all kinds of different things in my ears. So anyway, you can. You can find out about the that@glenn beck.com. you don't want to miss that. Watch that. And I explain the American Journey Experience. You're going to love it. And it's going to open sooner than you think. Sooner than you think. All right, stand by. We have more of the news that we have to cover today. Gonna cover everything that we've got left on the table before we get out of here. And there's still a lot, lot to go. So standby. All right, Z Factor. Human beings are the. You know, they're the only creatures who are aware of what they, you know, that they sleep and they treat sleep like, you know, it's an optional hobby. I mean, I think I don't see a lot of cats laying down, you know, having a hard tossing and turning. You know, I got so much work to do. I just got to get all this work done. We're like a phone battery. Once it goes down, it's bad. And, you know, once you keep draining that battery, it just doesn't come back up. You need to sleep. You can't just catch up on it on, you know, some weekend. You gotta get sleep. Regular maintenance, if you will, on your body as a human being. So here's what I want you to do. I want you to go and get some Z Factor if you're having a hard time sleeping. This is a supplement made from the makers of Relief Factor. It's designed to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and then wake up feeling refreshed. So maybe it's time to start treating yourself at least as well as you treat your phone. Z Factor right now from relief factor 1995. 30 day supply. 1, 800 for relief. 1, 800 for relief or relief factor dot com. I gotta tell you, it's a dark. It's a dark, sad day. Just a dark, sad day for anybody who loves the Fed. Jerome Powell, he's gone. Yeah, we lost him too soon. He's gone. 2 30s last. His last speech today at 2:30. Because the new guys going in, he's just been approved by the Banking Committee. Now he's got to face the full Senate vote, but that'll happen. And so you got it. You got a new Fed chair coming in. Now that's kind of like, oh my gosh, Amy Coney Barrett, she's gonna be great. And then you're like, I don't know if she's going to be great. You know, it's kind of like the Supreme Court. You never know what you're gonna get. You know what? Life's like a box of chocolates. Actually, Washington, D.C. the Supreme Court and the Fed is like a box of chocolates, but they're usually moldy old, been up in the attic, and they all suck when you bite into them. But we'll see. This guy might be different. Can you give me a little bit on him, Jason?

Glenn Beck (118:30)

Of course. Does that make sense to you? Do you know why I think. I think this is because we used to be. You go to. Is it Yale? Luxette? Lux et veritas. Light. The truth. If you look at that logo, that's the scriptures, okay? It's the scriptures. All of these universities used to teach from the scriptures and then they would teach other things, but the basis was the scriptures. Now you go into universities, you're not learning universal truth, you're learning the philosophies of man. And the philosophies of man are so rotted to the core now because there's no universal truth. There's no universal truth in science. They've made it so. Science is the exact opposite of faith and of God. God, if he exists, is the greatest scientist ever. Look at how exact everything is. You may not want to believe in God, but tell me, how is it you change by a tenth of a degree, you change the temperature of space and the entire thing collapses? That just happens to be that exact. Everything. Everything that you see is exact. Explain the human brain. You can't, but you certainly will. Just say it. Just. Well, we all started as snakes and our brain just turned into what it. That doesn't make any sense at all. And so you're not going. You're. There's no humility in it. There is no eternal truth. There's no real questioning that maybe we could be wrong.
