You know, it's becoming exhausting buying food from companies that want your money but don't want to tell you where anything is made or anything much about it.

This is the Glenn Beck Program. Glenn Beck is on. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. I'm going to spend some time talking about sports today. And you know how good that gets. You know you're listening to the Glenn Beck program. If your first day, you're like, okay, that's cool. If this is, you know, your regular listener, you are terrified out of your mind on what's going to happen because I don't Know my ass for my elbow when it comes to sports. Well, let's just put it this way. I was watching the Knicks game with the Spurs. You know, I don't know how many home runs it took to finally win, but my watching with my son as we were watching a play. My daughter was in a play this weekend, so we were kind of watching that off to the side. There might have been some inappropriate. Yeah. You know, from my son from time to time during the play, but he made it work anyway, so I've got a lot to say about that. And last night, my wife explained the UFC fight to me as we watch. As we watch that together. So some. Some. Some perspective on all of this coming next. First, let me talk to you about Rush Tax. You know what the IRS eats for breakfast? Puppies. Puppies. And people that make mistakes. They love both of them. Cute little puppies with big eyes. They will eat them. And then you. You've missed a form. You got a number in the wrong box. They'll eat that puppy while questioning you. And little puppy blood running down their cheeks. That's who they are. Okay? You have a job. You have family. You have responsibilities. God help you if you have puppies and you've made a mistake on your IRS form because it'll. They'll go for your puppy dog first. Anyway, something goes wrong, you need somebody that knows how to get the IRS from stop eating your puppy and taking you to jail. Here's the thing. They want to help people that are dealing with tax debt. IRS notices, levies, garnishments, any other problem that grows out of a simple mistake. Maybe you didn't even realize you made it. Rush tax resolution is A plus rated by the Better Business Bureau, and they're the only company that I trust or recommend for this. They offer a free IRS transcript investigation, and they will tell you up front and for free if they can help. And they'll only take their. Your case if they know they can help you. So call them at 877-554-7874. That's 877-554-7874 or go to rush taxresolution.com all right, so last night on the south lawn of the White House, it was. It was amazing. 100,000 people gathered around a cage. There was a rig the size of a spaceship. They call it the claw. And it was throwing shadows and. And lights and everything else right. Right behind the White House. It was. It was an amazing look. It was the president's 80th birthday. And as they were preparing for this, I have to be honest with you, as they were preparing, a little voice in the back of my head, keep whispering, kept whispering two words. And those two words were breads and circuses. Bread and circuses. Bread and circuses. And that phrase, you know, comes from the Roman poet that was, you know, writing while he watched his empire rot from the inside out. And his complaint was, you know, the people who once chose their leaders, who once argued about the fate of the Republic, now only wanted two things, just to be fed and entertained, and the empire was more than happy to give them both. Okay. And so I'm. I was wondering, you know, once this thing was announced, I immediately thought of bread and circuses. And I thought, we are a crowd now that, you know, wants to be full and amused because, you know, then we won't ask any hard questions. We'll just be fine. So here's what I was looking for last night when I started watching this. The circus was not a celebration, the Roman circus not a celebration. It was. It was anesthesia to make you forget. So when I saw a cage match on the lawn where the President decides the question of war and peace, the historian in me kind of flinches a little bit. However, it was the 250th birthday of the United States of America. If you can't throw a party at 250, when can you? Okay, a celebration is not decadence, and it is not anesthesia. Joy is not decline. So which was it going to be? Remembrance, joyous and entertainment? Are we Rome handing out a circus, or are we a free people throwing a festival that we have every right to throw? I watched it last night, and it was super clear, at least to me. I don't. I don't know if you saw it. It was so well worth watching, even if you don't like UFC in the fight or whatever. I mean, I prefer boxing myself, and I don't like it when they're down on the ground and they just keep wailing on each other. But it was okay. But it. It was remarkable, all of the videos that they were putting in between, the way this whole thing was staged. I mean, just the flyover. Do we have the. The audio of the flyover? Right. I mean, I've never seen a flyover like that. I've never seen. I mean, it was. It was stunning. I will tell you. Reagan was an actor. Donald Trump is a showman. Donald Trump is the best showman we've ever had. I mean, I think America, the only one I can Think of that might have been. Maybe in his league is PT Barnum. The guy knows how to throw a show. He does. But the point of this is it was a celebration. It was a celebration of America. It was a celebration of our past, and it was a celebration of our heroes. The difference between a circus and a festival is the difference between forgetting and remembering to build. Rome's circus was designed to make you forget. The great festivals of the modern age are designed to make you remember what you're capable of. And let me give you a couple of examples. Donald Trump called this cage the claw. He said, you know, maybe I'll keep it up. Maybe we should keep it up. Because, you know, they. They built the. The Eiffel Tower, and that was supposed to come down. Eiffel tower happened in 1889. Same guy who helped build the Statue of Liberty and Paris was throwing the World's Fair, and so they built this Eiffel Tower out of iron. Everybody said it was horribly ugly. It was a scar on the city was. And they all say it's. It's temporary. It's temporary. Temporary. Okay. It wasn't temporary, as it turned out. People had it, and now you can't imagine without it. The point is, the Eiffel Tower was not a distraction. It was a dare. Okay, Same thing with San Francisco. 1906, there was an earthquake. And then the earthquake set off a fire, and it almost erased all of the city. I mean, the heart of the city was completely gone. It was nothing but rubble and ash. People said, san Francisco is over. It'll never come back. Nine years later. Nine years, that city threw the biggest party the planet had ever seen. They called it The Jewel City. 18 million people. This is. This is what, 1805 or 7? Sorry, 1905. Sorry. 1915, I think. 18 million people came. 18 million people. And the whole point of it was to say, we're not done. We're not done. Look what we can do. Now, here's the part that most people don't know of. That entire, entire jewel city, the glittering city, they kept one building. It's called the palace of Fine Arts. If you've ever been to San Francisco, I can guarantee you you've been to the palace of Fine Arts. It's an outdoor park, and it was made by the famous architect at the time, Bernard Maybeck, and he built it on purpose to look like it was a Roman ruin that was crumbling. And it was. It was to express that all great civilizations, you know, and all great ideas and vanity of human. You Know wishes it all declines. Okay, so he builds an monument to the idea that everything falls. But the people of San Francisco loved it so much, they didn't want it to fall. So they rebuilt it in permanent concrete. 111 years later, it's still standing as a park, still full of families and swans and the afternoon light and people taking their wedding pictures. The monument to mortality became proof that. That a city can refuse to die. Okay, that's the opposite of a circus. A circus distracts you from the rot. These things point straight to the rot and say, now watch what we're going to build on top of it. And that's, you know, what I saw a couple of nights before in Los Angeles when the World cup came home for the first time in a generation when they were singing the Star spangled Banner. I mean, not a can instrumental, the real thing. Men stood with their hands, you know, over their hearts and their hats off, and it was beautiful. It was beautiful. The visiting side, little Paraguay, you know, brought two of their own, a couple who met in a college music seminar. And they sang the Paraguayan anthem, which, if you read the words, is about a people who live, you know, who lived three centuries under somebody else's scepter, and then one day said, you know, enough, and broke it. I mean, two nations, two anthems, pride on both sides of the field. Nobody said we're living on stolen land. Nobody lecturing anybody, Nobody, you know, handing out a list of reasons why they should be ashamed of where they just came from. It was just gratitude out loud all in front of the entire world. That's what a healthy country sounds like. Now, according I told you this last week, according to brand new polling, 59% of us, clear majority now say America's best days are behind us. In 1976, at the bicentennial, pollsters ask Americans if they were pessimistic about our future. 15% said yes. Today, that number is 41% tripled in 50 years. Half this country is standing right here at the 250 yard line looking at, at the wreckage and things that are genuinely broken and just saying, I don't think it's worth rebuilding. Let me say this. It is worth rebuilding. Celebrating it is worth it. Fixing what doesn't work is worth it, and plenty doesn't work right now. And pretending otherwise is kind of a lie. And I don't want to. I don't want to live a lie. But rebuilding it for a new century is absolutely worth it. You know the survey that I just told you, you know who the optimistic ones are in the survey? The most optimistic are the young ones, the youngest ones. The generation everyone swears has given up, still believes something great can come out of this. Maybe they just know something that we cynics forgotten. Before you let anybody talk you into a funeral, answer this question. Name the country that would be better to lead the world than this one. Go ahead, try. Try. What is it? China? They bury their own history and they jail pastors for giving the wrong sermon. Russia, A gas station with nuclear weapons and a birth rate in free fall? I don't think so. Beautiful, exhausted Europe that's now asking us to defend it. Name the nation that was not built on blood, you know, on soil, not on a strong man. Name the. Name the other country that was built on a single revolutionary sentence. That all men are created equal and that a creator gave us certain rights. Name the great power on earth that has that. You can't name the power on Earth that doubts itself as much as we do. You know what you know. You know what's good about doubt? Doubt shows we still have a conscience. We're misguided a lot of times, but it shows we have a conscience. Conscience. Proof that there is a soul still in there fighting. There's. There's no other country like this one. Never has been. So I watched the fight last night. I really loved it. I loved it. 250 years, we've earned a party. Just keep the difference in your head. Just keep the difference straight in your head. There's all kinds of things going on in Washington, D.C. and I, for one, I'm going in a week or so. I'm going to be broadcasting up there for the week of Fourth of July. And I can't wait to be there. There's some great changes that have happened. Just remember, Rome handed out circuses to help a dying civilization forget. We're not Rome unless we choose to be. But I have to tell you, I'm going to show you some things in the next couple of days. I honestly, I probably slept probably 90 minutes last night. I was laying in bed, I was writing some stuff, I was doing some research, and I was just filled with what I saw over the weekend. And I saw some really bad stuff. I'm going to get to the Knicks here in a second. I saw some really bad stuff, but I also saw some amazing things. And I was so excited to come on and share some things with you. I'm gonna break it up over the week because there's a lot. There's a lot But I have a feeling that we are turning a corner. I think we're turning a corner. I think we're beginning to wake up. I think, I think, I know we at least have the opportunity to say, yeah, I'm done with that. I'm done with that. You know what I mean? I'm going to take a page from a city that burned to the ground and built a jewel out of the ashes on purpose just to tell the world, we're not beaten.

We're.

Glenn Beck
We're san. We're from San Francisco. We're Americans. I'm going to take a page out of that book. So celebrate, then fix it, and then go build the thing your great, great grandchildren will refuse to let fall. That's who we are. It's going to be an exciting week. All right, let me tell you more here in just a second. First, let me tell you about Relief Factor. I talked to you before, you know, about my ranch. I'm up here in the mountains and rolling hills, open sky in every direction. I mean, it is really, it's a place that makes me feel closer to God, closer to things that really matter in life. And, and there was a time where I thought I was going to have to let it go because the elevation and the cold, the physical pain that that was doing to my body, I, every time I came to visit, it was more and more difficult. I just, I couldn't do it. And I thought, oh my gosh, I've built this whole place and now I can't even enjoy it with my family. It's absurd. I don't have pain anymore. I have mountain lions. That's a little frightening. Grandkids don't really like the mountain lion idea, but hey, if it's a big scratch, I've got some relief factor for them and a band aid or two. Anyway, Relief factor helped at least a million people. Two thirds have gone on to order more month after month, just like me. I take it every day because it got rid of the pain in my hands that just. They were. It was claiming me and I'm like, I don't want to live that way. This worked. To commemorate, they're offering a special patriotic price. 250 years. 1776. $17.76. You can get pain free or at leave try their 3 week quick start for 1776. Try it. Take it as direct for 3 weeks. See if it doesn't make a difference with you like it did with me. Reliefactor.com 800 for relief 1, 800, 4 relief. 10 seconds. Station ID.

I am, I'm really scary because I'm not optimistic very often, but I'm very, very optimistic on what I am seeing. We're going to talk a little bit about Iran here as we go. In fact, let me just touch base on this one, Jason. Do you have any, anything from a source that you trust that is telling you what's in this deal that supposedly we're going to sign on Friday?
- [19:52]
Jason Bartlett
No, not from a source I trust. Apparently all the mainstream media trusts every Iranian source they come across, which is absolutely ridiculous.
- [20:01]
Glenn Beck
Right? Not only, not only every media source, every Democrat, every Democrat is saying, this is horrible. We don't know what's in it. We don't know now it may turn out to be horrible. I hope not. But we don't even know what's in it. And they haven't signed it. They're supposed to sign it. Guess when. Guess. Take a guess. When are they supposed to sign? This Friday. Every Friday. We've got a deal. Okay, so I'll talk about this when we actually know what's in the deal. Because if some of the things that Democrats are saying are in it, I'm going to be pissed. I'm not going to be happy about that. But why, why do we borrow trouble? You know, I really, I think it's because I'm getting older. I, maybe I, maybe some would call it wisdom. I just call it just getting hit in the head so many times. You're like, I gotta stop doing that. That just hurts. But I question myself. Why did I worry about so much stuff that it's good to market and say, okay, this is what it could be, but it's not yet. Let's just be aware of that and then we'll deal with it. If it comes, let's just be ready to deal with it. I'm ready to deal with the Iran deal. If it's good or bad, I'm ready, but I'm not gonna deal with it today. And I don't understand why the press and everybody else, other than Trump derangement syndrome, and I think they think that bad news sells. And I, and maybe it's just me being too optimistic. I, this is weird for me. I'm not usually like. But I think those days are over. I think people are sick of hearing nothing but bad news. I think they're tired of hearing about stolen. I'm, I'm, I just want to recognize that my studio is on stolen land. No, it isn't. I, I didn't Steal it? I didn't steal it. I purchased it. Now, it might have been taken in a war, but that's the way all land has been taken forever. And by the way, this wasn't stolen from Mexico. We bought it. We did it through a negotiation with the Spanish. Where was it? The Mexican American War? It was all negotiation. We did all of that and the Mexicans were happy to do it. So please stop with that. I think people are just so sick and tired of hearing all of this bad news, they don't want to borrow any more trouble. I got enough problem. Have you gone to the gas station lately? I got enough problems. I'd rather. I'd rather. I'd rather be happy for the next couple of days going. You know what? Gas last night was at 76.$76 a barrel for oil. That's really good. It was like 80 before the war. It was at 76, I think last night. It's about 82 today. I'm good with that. We get gas back down to about 275, $3 a gallon. I'm good. I'd rather spend the week thinking about that. And then if it turns out to be a crappy deal or we go back into war, well, then we'll deal with that. You know, I already know how bad that can be. I like to spend the week kind of feeling good that maybe things are getting better. Now, when it comes to the Knicks and the Knicks fans, things aren't getting better, but they need to. And I'll talk about that next. First, let me tell you about burn a launcher. If someone attacks you, you want them, you know, you want them to know and find out that they've gone after the wrong person. And in most cases, you want them to live long enough to realize it. Not every dangerous situation requires lethal force. Not every threat is life or death. But you still have a right to protect yourself and your family and the people you care about. I have to tell you, if I were wearing a Spurs jersey up in New York and I had a burner launcher which I could carry in New York, oh, I would have taken great, great, great delight in hitting those people with a burner launcher. Oh, Johnny, have a boo boo in their eye. Oh, a little tear gas. I'm so sad. Well, you'll feel better. 45 minutes later and I'll give time for the police to get here. Look, that's what a burner launcher is, real peace of mind. And you're able to give people bad boo boos without killing them. Legal in all 50 states. No permit, no background check. Gotta be 18, you know, to carry it and to be, you know, legal with that. I, I want you to check this out. I want you to go to Burna.com Burna.com don't be a victim. Burna.com secures your.

Torch's Summer of 250 is on songs, lessons, and stories that empower the next generation of Americans. Learn more@torch250.com I can't wait to show you in just a couple of minutes the difference there that something is happening and it's really good and exciting. And I'll show you. We saw it this weekend. We saw it this weekend. Let me give you this. Last night, the sports event in with the ufc. If you saw any of it, it was spectacular. It really was. So well done, so uplifting. I mean, except for the fighting till you're a bloody, you know, a bloody stump. You know, the, the imagery and the lessons and the music and everything was about America. And it just made you feel good. Okay, compare that to how you felt after the Knicks. My mom used to say, she had this line and she would always say it. She, whenever as kids, if we would start roughhousing at all, you know, you knock over a lamp and you crack something that wasn't yours to crack. And she'd stop and she'd put her hands on her hips and she would say the same six words. And I bet your mom said the same thing. What did she say? Kids, this is why we don't have nice things. I'm like, well, if they're not nice, you don't, you shouldn't. Don't say that to my mom. You get beat for that. But I heard her voice this weekend. I heard it clear, this. And I meant it. Just like my mom. This is why we can't have nice things. Because in New York City, a basketball team wins its first championship in 53 years. 53 years of waiting, of loyalty, of fathers taking their sons to the garden. And what does, what do the quote fans do with that joy? Well, somebody was shot. They set a school bus on fire. You know, people tried to hitch a ride on a moving fire truck. They kicked out windows of police cars, climbed statues. Around two in the morning, somebody opened fire in Times Square. Seven shots. Crossroads of the world 17 year old girl hits the ground. That was the celebration and that was Saturday. This thing started earlier. A Spurs fan, grown man, 40 miles from home in spirit, 1500 from home, in fact, walking back to his hotel after game three. Mob surrounds him. They beat him. They tear off his jersey off his back like a trophy. After game four, 10 police officers were hurt. One of them taken, you know, taken a glass bottle to the face. Teenager ends up in the hospital. Somebody thought it would be a clever idea to idea to throw eggs at the other team's players at their own hotel. This isn't passion. Passion built the garden. Passion fills the seats. This is something else entirely. This, you know what this is? This is a society that has forgotten how to be a civil society. No regard for anything or anyone. Okay? This is why we can't have nice things. And I'm telling you, when we lose this, when we lose the simple ancient understanding that the stranger in the other jersey is still a human being walking home to his family. We're not fans anymore. You're not even a citizen anymore. You know what you are? You're an animal. You're an animal. And that's what I saw on the streets of New York, animals. And the most chilling part is how fast it happens. How thin the floor turned out to be. Because everything is tribal now. Absolutely everything. Your team, your party, your flag, your side. And the other guy, he's not a rival, he's prey. Did he call them animals? Yes, I did. I don't care what color anybody is. Don't care. Don't care anybody who is doing that. You're an animal. Tell me, how else do I describe somebody who just does not see another human being and they are so excited that they just want to beat somebody with a chair at a five Guys, you know, And I want to ask a question, you know, that nobody in a position of influence seems willing to ask out loud. If the so called influencers and the leaders and the famous faces won't step forward and condemn this in the harshest possible terms, who will? Because here's the easy step you think I know nothing about. Here's the layup. I think the Knicks, the coaches and the players, especially the players, the players that the kids worship, they all should have walked out the first time this happened. They should have walked out together and said, if this is how you celebrate with, we don't want you as fans. You are not our fans. You shame our team, you shame our city. You shame this game. You know, a few players muttered something respectful into A press conference microphone, and good for them. But a sound bite is not a stand. A stand is the team coming out shoulder to shoulder, looking the camera and telling the mob they not in our name. That's what you know. And, and the Knicks can still do it. It's got to be done today. But they should say, you did any of this. You are not a fan. You are not worthy of wearing a Knicks jersey because that's not who we are. We'll have nothing to do with any of this. And you know what? We want everyone prosecuted to the utmost. You were involved in this. You should go to jail. And if the teams won't do it, then the city should. Let me ask you this. How much money has New York paid? Or any other city? How much have you paid for those stupid franchises to be in your city? And what do they say? It brings money into the city. Well, really, does it? I mean, you built the stadium with public money. You pay the police to clean up after the riot. You pay for the burned out bus, the broken windows, the hospital bills. Why, why, why is the taxpayer on the hook for this? I think the city should start finding the franchises. If the franchise won't stand up against this stuff, then the city should start fining them. Your. Your fans. And they'll all say, these aren't our fans. Well, they're doing it in your name. So what are you doing to make sure you say you're not a fan of ours? What are you doing to say not in our name? Don't do it. You know, let the people who profit from the passion pay for the carnage that the passion is now producing. The people who beat that guy who threw the bottle, who fired the shots, find them, prosecute them, put them in prison. If that's what the facts warrant, then that's, you know, you put somebody else in a hospital bed, I think you should charge it, like attempted murder. That wasn't a crime of passion. You're just an animal. That's it. It's not a riot. It's a crime against another human being. And I don't really count you as another human being. Here's the warning, and I want you to really hear it. A free society cannot survive if it requires a police state to hold it together. That's the whole game. That's it. That's it. You cannot have a free society if every time your team wins, you go out and try to kill people. You decide, I'm gonna tear the whole city down, I'm gonna set things on fire. I'M gonna shoot people. I'm going to go into a five guys and I'm going to steal the food, and then I'm going to beat the people behind the counter with a chair. You can't have a free society. Liberty depends on you governing yourself. You'd have a. You can have a bottle. You can even have the worst thing inside of you, say, oh, I got a bottle in my hand. I should throw it at that guy because I'm celebrating. And then the human part of you should say, hey, dummy, don't do that. What are you doing? And not because a cop is watching, but because that guy knows better. The moment you have a society where they just don't know any better that the people on the street just don't know. And I don't buy that at all. Here's what they know. Nobody's going to do anything about it. I can get away with this over and over and over again. We taught everybody at blm. Ah, you can march. Oh, that's not marching. That's burning cities down. What Martin Luther King did was march. What BLM did was burn cities down. What the Knicks fans did is not celebrating. That's burning cities down. The days of burning our cities down to the ground, they got to come to an end. Enough is enough. And if the decent people, the leaders, the athletes, the ones who make millions of dollars because people go to see them, if they don't get on those megaphones and end it now, you know what then I guarantee you some authoritarian with a badge and a boot will end it all for all of us. And maybe there's a few people that want that, but the vast majority of Americans don't. You know, if you act like an animal, I guess you need to be kept in a cage. You know, I keep coming back to the people who changed the world. It was King, it was Gandhi, it was a carpenter from Nazareth. Every one of them faced violence, real violence. Far worse than a lost basketball game or even less understandable, a win. And every one of them refused to pick up a chair. They refused to become the thing that they were fighting. This isn't even that they're fighting. They're not even fighting. The Knicks won. They're not fighting. They're not sad. This is their happy. I'd hate to see them off. The refusal to act like an animal is what built every nice thing we have. The mob in Times Square is what tears it down. So enough. Enough is enough. On almost every front. I think America has had enough. But this one Is easy. This one's right there. Athletes. The NBA. Stand up. Do it today. Do it today, you cowards. Say it clearly. Say it now. Mean it. We will not be celebrated this way. Do that much. Just. Just. Just the basics. I know you're busy lecturing us about all kinds of other things. Love. You gotta lecture us about love all the time. Why don't you just take a day and stand up and say, hey, we'd like to have nice things, and we can't have nice things, kids, if you behave this way. So don't behave this way or you'll become my father. You don't want me to stop this car? Do I need to stop this car? You don't want me to stop this car. That's what the NBA should say today. The players should be out front. Will they? No, no, no. Because the NBA can't police their own. Back in a minute.

Let me tell you about the International Fellowship. I think one of the most important questions a Christian can ask is, you know, if I had been there, what would I have done? If I had been there when the Good Samaritan found the man on the side of the road, would I have stopped? If I had been there when people were hungry, would I have shared what I had? If I had been there when somebody needed help, would I be the person who showed up? We all like to think we would, but the truth is, I don't know. You kind of have to wonder because, you know, those opportunities don't exist. Or at least that's what you think. They actually do exist. Right now, there are people in Israel living in extraordinary circumstances who just need to know, hey, you're not alone.

That's it. You're not alone. So I'm proud to partner with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They give Christians a chance to put their faith into action by caring for God's people in tangible, meaningful ways. As America celebrates her 250th birthday, isn't it amazing how we want to build it up and the left wants to burn it down? Seems to be a trend with them. But anyway, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews reflects on the friendship between the United States and Israel. Sign up to receive a free USA Israel flag pin. Go online now.

There's something exhausting about the way everything today has to come with some sort of, like, crazy gimmick attached to it. Every product needs a backflip and a laser show and a celebrity endorsement or some ridiculous story about how it's disrupting the space. It's honestly pretty exhausting at this point. And sometimes you just want something that's good because it's actually good. And that's what Flying Ace straight bourbon is. It's not trying to reinvent bourbon. It's not trying to turn it into some science project. It's just a really solid, well crafted bourbon that delivers the way that you want it to. You get those classic notes. You expect the, the caramel and the vanilla, the toasted spice. But there's real depth to it, too, because it's made from a blend of carefully aged bourbons selected for flavor. This result is a smooth, balanced and bold result without, you know, punching you in the face on the first sip. I think some of these bourbons like they were meant for flavor, but they just basically act like they're going to wake you up out of a coma. Whether you're just kind of relaxing, sitting around with friends, unwinding after a long day, or just enjoying a quiet evening. Flying Ace is one of those bourbons that feels dependable in the best possible way. And if that sounds like you're kind of poor, it's time to level up.

So you know what I really love about, I love about sports. You know, they do this a lot with Olympics. I like it when there's a story behind it. So you know what you're rooting for. You know what I mean? I mean, the, the idea that, you know, they haven't won A championship since 1973. And the Knicks won against the spurs, did they? Not in 73, but they haven't won for over 50 years. So they. Here they are in the, in the finals and they got a guy on the team, Jalen Brunson, I think his name was. He becomes mvp. This guy. This, this should have been the story, but it wasn't the story because all we were talking about the next day was, did you see what the Knicks fans did? This guy, he is, he signs to the Knicks in 2022. Everybody lambasts him because he's undersized, unathletic. He's a guard who's never been a true number one option. Everybody was like, he can't handle the pressure of Madison Square Garden, blah, blah, blah. But everybody overlooks all the intangibles and his integrity and his pedigree. His dad. His dad is Rick Brunson, former Knicks player and current assistant coach who was in the 1999 finals run and taught his son resilience. Resilience. Resilience. So now Jalen and Rick, father and son, the first father and son duo to both play in Finals for the Knicks. He they win because father and son, heart, skill, family legacy, working together, overcomes the. The physical limitations and the external noise and all of this stuff. And they bring as a family, father and son get to help bring a win in the the kid that was just too small to do it, not talented enough to do it, becomes the NBA or the MVP of the game that brings the championship home to the Knicks for the first time in 55 years. That's what the story should have been. But nope. Nope. Because they're fans. And I know the Knicks will say, they're not our fans. They're not our fans. Well, they claim to be your fans. You imagine if my fans were doing that or somebody who claimed to be my fans? You think the press would care? You damn right they would. Finding the right Father's Day gift, always a little complicated. I mean, most dads, I don't. We don't know what we want. And you know, we won't tell you when you ask us.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. It's Monday. I have a message for. For Elizabeth Warren. I would be nice about it, too. She doesn't understand how anything works. You know, it's the way these people are. Most of them are attorneys. I don't know what she is besides somebody who fakes that she's a Native American and a politician. But, you know, a society like ours requires people because not everybody is like this. Not everybody wants to. You know, some people want a 9 to 5 job. They don't want to think about it when they leave work. They don't want to work too hard, et cetera, et cetera. And there's nothing wrong with that. Everybody is cut from a different cloth, but there are those who are driven. And, you know, sometimes being driven can lead you into some really bad places, and sometimes it can, you know, lead into really good places. And there's been a few people like this, like Benjamin Franklin, that was an entrepreneur and an inventor. That was an amazing man. I think Nikola Tesla was an amazing guy. Cut from the same cloth and the same thing with Elon Musk. But Platner has now said, gee, do you see that? Elon Musk just became the world's first. First trillionaire. Let's make sure he's the last. Okay? Platner, you're a too. I'm sorry, that's not what Jesus would say. But I don't know if Jesus had to deal with so many morons, but Elizabeth Warren said pretty much the same thing. This should be a wake up call to all of us. He's a trillionaire. Okay? I want to go through this for their. For their benefit. We'll do that here in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Our sponsor is real estate agents I Trust Dot Com. You know what people are really looking for? They're looking for certainty, a feeling that, you know, somebody knows what they're doing. That's why we, like experienced pilots, like good surgeons. You know, when they're putting you under, you don't want him. You don't want to hear him say, okay, let's give this a whirl. This is the first time I've done this. Let's. Let's give it a shot. No, no, no, wait. What? Don't put me asleep. There's a lot of money involved when you're selling a house. A lot is at stake, a lot of emotion Involved. And there are about a thousand details that could go wrong if the person guiding you doesn't know what they're doing. That's why I started a Real Estate Agents I Trust dot com. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work with some of the best real estate professionals in the country. According to the Wall street journal, the 500 Best Real Estate agents in the country. And they have proven that they can deliver results for their clients. And when the stakes are high, confidence is worth an awful lot. So I want you to find these people with us. We've already vetted them. We can tell you who they are in your area who can sell your home or help you buy one, even in a tough market. Realestate agentsitrust.com no obligation. I don't charge anything for the name. You interview them, you decide. Realestate Agents I Trust dot com. All right, this weekend, Elizabeth Warren stood out in front of a camera and told you that a man becoming wealthy should be a wake up call. Okay, Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. On Friday, SpaceX went public stock price, wealthiest man on earth crossed a line no human being in history has ever crossed. It's a huge responsibility. Huge responsibility. And, you know, fame and fortune generally are battery acid to the soul. But, you know, let's see what happens here. So the senator from Massachusetts and also Platner comes out. She posts a video, says the typical American family will have to work 11 million years to match his fortune. Okay, Impossible. So she called it a feature of a rigged economy. How is it that it's rigged? Well, doesn't matter how she got there. The point is we need a wealth tax. Okay, so let me do something that Washington never does. Let's actually think, because I'm going to tell you something, and I want you to stay with me because where I'm going is not where you think I'm going. There is a problem here. There really is. Elizabeth Warren is right that there is a problem. Okay, so she's half right. Maybe she has the wrong half. You know, she's missing the only half that matters. But let me start the story, okay? Where it actually starts. Rewind back to 2002. A guy makes some money on the Internet. He decides he's going to build rockets. Not buy a rocket company. Build rockets. Compete with Boeing, compete with Lockheed. Okay? Compete with governments like Russia, China, the EU, the established launch industry, an industry that for 50 years had exactly one direction of travel. And that was up and to the right on cost. Every rocket more expensive than the last. NASA didn't even. When he asked him, well, what's your budget? They said, what do you mean, what's our budget? Well, what is your budget? We just want it to work. Yeah, but there's got to be some budget. They didn't even know how to put a budget together, okay? And what the industry had given the world was every rocket would be thrown away after one use. It was like. It was like tearing up a 7:47 after a single flight to London. And then it's Kleenex and you throw it away. He was asked more than once, what are your odds? I mean, you don't. This is not what you do. What. How are you going to do this? And he didn't lie to himself or anybody else. He said he figured he had maybe a 10% chance, 90% chance he would lose everything and go back to being broke. He said, I expect to fail. And he nearly did. First. I think I said two earlier, but I think it's three. The first three launches blew up, okay. The fourth launch was the last dime he had. If it failed, he was over. Guess what? It didn't fail. Then watch what that one stubborn man did to an entire industry. That the smartest, the actual rocket scientists say could never be changed. He builds the first privately developed liquid fuel rocket to reach orbit. Now you're not going to space. I'm not going to space. You might think, well, I don't care. Oh, you do. This guy has changed the world. First private company to dock a spacecraft with the International Space Station. That's something only national governments had ever done. And then when Boeing tries to do it, their rocket gets them into space and then they can't get back. Guess who rescues. Yeah, yeah, okay, then the big one. The big one was the one that everyone said was impossible. He landed a rocket booster back on its legs. Remember the first time you ever saw that? The rocket coming back down, controlled. And then landing on a landing pad, why is he doing that? So you're not taking a 747 and throwing it away. After a flight to London, it could fly again and again and again and again. Do you know how much money that has saved you? Do you know how much money that is saved every time somebody has to put up a communication satellite up into space that requires a rocket? Go ahead, pay for that 747. You're going to pay for it when you're paying your phone bill or whatever it is that you know, whatever company Put that satellite up into space or you're going to pay for it with your taxes. Okay, I'd like it a little cheaper. He took the single most expensive part of going to space and turned it into something you reuse like a plane. Launch costs, they didn't go down, they collapsed. He didn't trim the industry, he completely reset the industry. When American astronauts needed a ride to space, you know what we used to have to do? We used to have to buy seats from the Russians, pay Moscow hat in hand to get our own people up into space. He ended that. An American company. American rockets, American crews. He gave this back to the country almost single handedly. Now that's space. Okay, that's space. Let's come back to Earth here for a second. He also changed the world. And then he gave it away in a completely other way. Everyone, everyone said a mass market electric car was a fantasy. It was a toy for rich people. In California, the legacy automakers had a hundred years of engineering, billions in capital, armies of lobbyists, and they all agreed couldn't be done at scale, shouldn't be tried. And every time they tried, they made a crap car. Remember what Chevy came up with? It burst into flames. He did it. And in doing it, he dragged the entire global auto industry behind him, kicking and screaming. They did everything they could to put this guy out of business. They say this was impossible to do. Every electric vehicle on the road today, from every manufacturer on Earth exists in the world, he forced open. And then he did something that should stop Elizabeth Warren from bitching all the time because it's the opposite. She said that every billionaire is. In 2014, he starts Tesla and he's inventing all of this new technology and what does he do? He's like, yeah, I'm not going to patent it. Wait a minute. What?
- [56:20]
Ricky
You.
- [56:20]
Glenn Beck
Wait, hold it. What? That's how you make money. He pledged the company would not sue anyone who used its technology in good faith. He gave all of his technology to his competitors. The patents are crown jewels. The everything every corporate lawyer on the planet tells you to lock in a vault and defend till death, he just opens them up and gives them away. By the way, just so you know, Coca Cola, Coca Cola still has their recipe of soda pop locked in their vault. He took a car, all brand new technology. He's like, yeah, whatever, do whatever you want with it. Just do it in good faith.
- [57:02]
Jason Bartlett
Wow.
- [57:03]
Glenn Beck
You see any, do you see any pharmaceutical companies doing that? You see Mr. Pfizer doing that? He did it for the good of the whole industry. Because he believed in something for the good of mankind, to speed the world toward a goal he believed in more than he believed in squeezing the last dollar out of a monopoly. A greedy man doesn't give away his patents. A greedy man doesn't do that. Remember that. And like it or not, and I know some do not, he is the reason that voices that powerful governments and corporations all around the world wanted to silence are still being heard. When, you know, when he put up a satellite network, do you know how he changed the world? You think he doesn't affect you? Suddenly people in war zones and dictatorships and dead zones and people who live out in the middle of nowhere here in America have a connection to the world that no regime could pull the plug on. Every time there's a problem and a thugs and dictators start to march in, what does he do? He sends his. His technology in for free. Then he also brought a. You know, bought the town square that had quietly become a place where the wrong opinions disappeared, the wrong people were locked out. He reopens the doors. Now, you can argue about how he did it, but you can't argue about which direction he pushed. He pushed towards more speech, not less, towards louder, not quieter. In an age where the instinct of every government and every corporation is to manage what you are allowed to say, one man said, no, I think you should be able to say whatever you want. I mean, if that isn't the whole idea of America, I don't know what is. This is the combination of Edison and Tesla. For our generation. The inventor who builds the thing, the visionary who sees the. The current that will power the next century, both in one man. I don't think we're ever going to see another one like this in our lifetimes. We won't. Now let me tell you about a guy that Elizabeth Warren will never tell you about. It happened this weekend. It's. It's just the headline. Just the headline. She won't even mention. Okay, Elizabeth, we'll go there in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Z Factor. There are only. There are only two types of people who talk about sleep. The ones who get it, you know, and the ones who aren't. Nobody ever says, you know, I had a completely average night of sleep last night. They don't say that, okay? If they're talking about it, it's because they slept like a rock or because they spend half the night lying awake wishing for the sweet release of E. Rest or death, whichever comes first. That's why I'm excited about Z Factor. I have been for years. I take it, I take it every night. My wife takes it every night. She yells at me when I don't take it every night. She's like, you're gonna be up on every day. Let's take it every night.
- [60:17]
Ricky
All right?
- [60:18]
Glenn Beck
And it helps me fall asleep. Helps me fall asleep faster, helps me stay asleep longer, wake up feeling refreshed. My wife is always, I mean, could be, she could be pretending. Yeah, honey, I'm awake. Anyway, Z Factor, you know, instead of getting up and wanting to put a, have a, you know, get a nap in right after you put your socks on, take Z Factor and see if it doesn't work for you. Save 46 on your first order. It's 1995. 30 day supply. Call 800 for relief 800, the number four relief or visit relieffactor.com Better sleep better days from Z factor at relieffactor.com 10 seconds stationary. So what happens? SpaceX goes public on Friday. Elon Musk becomes a trillionaire. But he's not the only one who got rich. On Friday morning. Thousands of SpaceX employees became millionaires in a single morning. Thousands. People you'll never hear of, never meet, never will, never know their name. Let me just tell you about one of them. I don't know his name. He's a welder. Twenty years ago he had a good union job, steady, safe, Strange company with a strange weirdo founder and a 10 chance of survival. Often offered him less money. Come and weld these rocket parts for me. It's going to be less money. You're going to work hard, really long hours and I'll give you stock, paper, options, okay? A piece of a company that the smartest people in the world said was literally going to blow up. Literally blow up. His wife thought he was crazy. His father in law definitely thought he was crazy. Take the safe job. What are you doing? Betting on a man's dream. This guy is crazy. He decided he'd do it. He'd work for less, he'd work for stock. He worked nights, he missed dinners. He welded the seams on rockets that exploded on the launch pad. And then he'd show up the next morning and he'd weld the next one. And he prayed that together they were going to build something amazing. Well, on Friday morning he woke up a millionaire. That's capitalism. That is exactly how it is supposed to work. The man who risks and the man who risks everything gets a big payday. He pulls others up with him, who also risk. Who bet on him, who when the betting was insane and when it pays off, it pays them to. The reward was enormous because the risk was enormous. These people in Washington have never risked anything in their entire life. This guy was willing to risk everything over and over and over and over again. You don't fix that. You don't tax that into oblivion. You celebrate that. You get on your knees and you thank God you live in a country where a welder can become a millionaire because he believed in something before it was safe to believe in it. And here's where it goes wrong. So what is the problem? I told you she had it half right. Because there is a problem. But it's not the trillion dollars. It's never been the trillion dollars. It's where capitalism goes wrong. And listen carefully, because this is the whole thing. It goes wrong the moment the rich and the powerful stop competing in the market and start competing in Washington. It goes wrong the moment a corporation realizes it's easier to buy a senator like Elizabeth Warren than it is to beat a rival. It goes wrong when the people who run an industry start writing the laws that govern their own industry because the senators like Elizabeth Warren are too stupid to write a law on their own. So they go to the experts and. And say, hey, regulate your own industry. That's the corruption. It's not the wealth. It's the fusion. It's the handshake between the boardroom and the capital. When the money buys the rules, the rules stop protecting you and start protecting them. And if you think this is new. Have you ever read about the railroad? In 1800s, railroads were the SpaceX of their day. Great machines reshaped the entire continent. They competed brutally. Vicious price wars. The biggest railroads kept losing control of everything. They tried to fix private prices privately and failed. So one of the railroad guys gets a better idea. Wait a minute. If we can't win the market, why don't we buy the referee? So in 1887, Washington creates the Internet, the Interstate Commerce Commission. And they're going to regulate all the railroads on behalf of the public. Sounds great. People demanded oversight, and they got it. Except a few Years later, the U.S. attorney General, a man named Richard Olney, who had come right out of the railroad industry, wrote a private letter to a railroad executive who wanted the new commission abolished. And he said, don't be foolish. Don't. What are you doing? Keep the commission. Because the commission satisfies the public demand for somebody to watch the railroads while it leaves. In practice, it leaves the railroads largely alone. And over time, the commission will become a shield for the industry. Okay? It will protect you from the competition and from the public's anger. Excuse me, what did he just say? Yeah, that's the problem with capitalism. The problem is not the dreamer, is not the trillion dollar dollars. The problem is the referees. The referees, they're on the take and they partner. The minute that Elon Musk says, you know what, I want to put my people, my competitors, out of business as long as he's still willing to honestly compete. Capitalism works fine and we should be grateful for it.

All right. Every business owner has this experience. You sit down and do one thing, just one thing.

Prepare for the next 250 years with Torch's Summer of 250, designed to teach our history like never before with music, stories, lessons, plans and more. Find it@torch250.com you know, I can't, I can't wait to see Go home is John Cornyn. I just. That guy can't get. That guy can't be gone fast enough. He and Mitch McConnell, they just go away. Go away. And that's not a comment on Mitch McConnell's health. You know, sorry to hear about his health. He's been sick for a very Long time. But, you know, I can't wait for their terms and them to be replaced. John Cornyn came out with a tweet this weekend to Mike Lee. Mike, I'm a co sponsor of your Save America act and repeatedly voted for this, but you just don't have the votes. And John Thune can't change that. You know, it's math. Try focusing on Democrats instead of the Republicans. Republican on a Republican attacks are hurting our chances to win the majority in November. Yeah, like you have a clue on how to win. John Cornyn, this guy is going to. This guy has it out and he is going to do everything he can to stop the Save America. I mark my words, he is. He and Mitch McConnell are going to do. They're going to do everything they can as their last hurrah to make sure that thing doesn't pass. And Donald Trump came out over the weekend in a true social post. Thank God. He said the renewal of section 02 of the Save America Act. He said, I'm against FISA if it doesn't come with the Save America act, the full version firmly attached to it. So he's telling them, and I'm so glad he is calling their bluff because it is a bluff. It is a bluff. Bill Pulte, he is the interim acting Director of National Intelligence now, not forever. And he's not some radical overhaul overnight. You know what I mean? He's just a guy who has been with Trump for a while, trusted set of eyes for a few months while we get the new guy in to replace Tulsi Gabbard. And what happens? The establishment voices, the Democrats, some of them Republicans, you intel lifers, they threatened to let FISA section 702 die. You tell me these are the guys who pull for every war. They pull for every, every spy thing that they can possibly get their hands on. They. They pull for that. They are the ones that have said hands off section 702. They're the ones. It's vital for national security. They won't even let you talk about it one day. They don't want it even opened up. Nothing. Just pass it, pass it, pass it, pass it, pass it. And now they're saying if this guy gets in as the acting director of DNA dni, he's so dangerous at this time that we will tell Donald Trump he can't have. Really? You're not gonna let Donald Trump have section 02702? Really? You guys, you guys will know. No, no, we can't. Bill is just too dangerous for The American people. Really? So you say Section oh two FISA is, is so important and we're dealing with threats from China and Iran and the cartels across the border. Really? You'd stab your own mother to death for a clean renewal? In normal times. But an outsider comes out, suddenly it's a crisis. Ditch that. We'll, we'll. We won't pass that. We won't give that to you, Trump. Yes, you will. Yes, you will. You will. Okay, now, I want to be fair. Qualifications matter. Experience and intelligence is serious business. But he's interim. He's interim. Oh, he's too weak, is he? Is he? Because I think your reaction shows to me that you're in a panic. I don't know what you're panicked about, but you're panicking. You're willing to give something up. That literally, I think you really would stab your mother to death for section 702. I don't know why. But now, all of a sudden, what are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? Exposure? You're afraid that this guy is going to come in and expose something? You remember the Church committee in the 1970s after Watergate? It revealed that the FBI and CIA were spying on civil rights leaders, Martin Luther King, anti war voices, even sitting presidents and their opponents. Congress created FISA to check our intelligence community, okay? To restore trust. But what happened? The tool meant for protection becomes the weapon. Okay? We've seen it. The backdoor searches, the political queries, the house of cards of selective leaks and protected narratives. Okay? So Tulsi Gabbard releases, you know, information on this, then she leaves, and then this guy comes in and they're like, yeah, we're not going to do it, Trump. Stand your ground. Be a badass. Be the badass we all know you are. Stand your ground. They're bluffing. They're bluff. What are they so afraid of? What are they so afraid of? So Tulsi comes out, same people, by the way. Tulsi comes out, what was it, Friday? And she releases, she declassifies slides of these, of these documents about US funded bio labs in Ukraine and beyond. Over 40 labs, hundreds of millions, dangerous pathogens, anthrax, plague, Ebola. Okay? And we've known about these places, they've been known about broad strokes for years as, quote, threat reduction, okay? But transparency? No, no, they're just, they're just reducing our threat.

And now it's a Russian conspiracy theory that those exist. Well, can I just ask you. Just. Just let me just ask you before I get into any of the other parts of this, do you think it's a good idea? Does it make common sense to you? If we have anthrax and Ebola sitting in a laboratory in Ukraine that is currently at war with Russia, do you think it's a good idea? Or should we just go take a flamethrower and burn all of those dangerous pathogens out of those buildings? Should we just destroy all of those pathogens? Why do we have them sitting there in these biolabs that are in a war zone now? Look at the loudest people shout, shouting about this. Okay? The ones who are saying, you know, she's just. She's a conspiracy theorist with the documents, their embedded Ukraine correspondence. Strong advocates to send more money to Ukraine in Congress, and defense analysts that are tied to the status quo. The same crowd clutching their pearls. Same people clutching their pearls over the new DNI chief. They don't like what she did with Ukraine. And then this new guy, he's got to be stopped, too. I'll get rid of Faiza. I'll tell you. I'll do it. I'll do it. Go jump off that cliff. Okay? You've got. You've got all of these. All of these people that are coming. I just read the story. At glennbeck.com you'll find all of the names of these people, but they're all the same. And you know what? They're. They're framing this whole thing as Kremlin propaganda. Like Tulsi Gabbard is now working for the Kremlin. Have you ever noticed when outsiders get close to auditing foreign entanglements, surveillance powers, risky overseas labs, the defenses go nuclear. All of a sudden. All of a sudden, it's gotta be stopped. It's the worst problem ever. They just go crazy. To me, it feels like fear of exposure. And maybe not all of them, but somewhere, somebody, somebody in that web is applying enormous pressure. Stop this. Stop this. Stop this. You know, because real sunlight on how FISA has been used and Bio. Biolab funding, past ops threatens the whole machine. The one that kept us entangled. Spending billions while Americans are struggling at home. Yeah, I'd like to know how that happened, wouldn't you? Yeah. Kind of reminds me of, you know, what I learned the hard way in my own life. If you want to fix yourself, just talking about you, not the country or anything else, just you. Radical honesty is required when you live in lies, which, as an alcoholic, I was absolutely living in. Absolute lie. I was lying to myself and everybody else. I'm not an alcoholic. I don't have a problem. What are you talking about? I'm fine. Uh huh. When you protect the addiction or the COVID up, you'll burn everything down before admitting the truth. You will. I tell you what, I'm not gonna. I won't pass.0 to that section is gone. I'll tell you that right now. Really? Uh huh. Those who change, those who heal, are the ones who surrender to the light. And that's what America needs right now. No more secrets, no more trust us. Trump, call their bluff, don't blink, be the badass. They're not going to let FISA actually lapse. And I'd applaud if they did. They need it too much. Use this moment, leverage it for real reform, tie it to the Save America act priorities like you just said you would. Border security, spending restraint, ending endless foreign adventures without any kind of accountability. Audit these programs properly. Pressure for what we need. Transparency, declassification where it serves the people. Reforms that protect Americans first. It's not zero sum. This could be a very, this could be a win win. Kind of the hard kind. They'll get their surveillance tool with real oversight and warrants. And we get sunlight on the bio labs, the foreign funding webs, the surveillance abuses. The American people win when the powerful are afraid of us knowing the truth, not the other way around. And history, I mean it shows the cycle over and over again. Church committee, post Snowden, Russiagate. Every time, every time the people demand answers, the machine fights back. This is the machine. Courage breaks it. Being willing to lose breaks it. Look at the persecuted Christians. Many times they're the happiest people. The gates of hell have opened up against them. You know why? They're happy. They're standing in the truth. They know what the truth is. Or the founders that risked everything against tyranny, lives, fortune, sacred honor. Some of them lost everything. They weren't complaining about it because truth gave them the courage to do it. And the hope. Kind of like you know, you were born for times such as this. That's you. You can admit it or not, but that's the truth you were born for. This time, these problems, we don't need more idols of power or endless wars. We need truth. We need self reliance, we need faith. Faith in God, faith in ourselves. Faith that you know we'll get our crap together one of these days we'll get our crap together and we'll stand up and go, you know what I'm Kind of tired of this stuff, you know, we'll create a neighborhood that. That prepare. Treat each other right. A country that rejects living by lies. One of these days, we're going to get it. It's going to happen, and it's going to happen. We're either going to do it the easy way or it's going to happen the hard way. Believe me. Believe me, God wins every time. When you're living a lie, it always comes down. It always comes down. The longer you wait to go, okay, okay, baby, I'm an alcoholic. The longer it takes you to say that, the harder it's going to be to get back up on your feet. But you'll get back on your feet. I just rather do it before. I mean, I've done it before. It sucks. It sucks. But the longer we wait. Keep investigating, Mr. President. Appoint the disruptors. They're afraid of him. Threaten that you're going to make him permanent. And you call your representative. Demand they choose America over the machine. Tell, you know, send. Send a strong message to Cornyn. You don't have to go after the Republicans. They got 50 votes. You need to talk to Thune. Hey, Thune, what are you waiting for? Pass it with 50 votes and then feed hope. This is coming. It's coming. Good stuff is coming. Reject the fear. This isn't the end. This is a reckoning. It's going to be ugly. It's going to be an ugly reckoning. But you know what? On the other side of reckoning? Restoration. A healed republic, happier families, free people. I don't know. That sounds pretty good. I say they're bluffing. Caller bluff. More in a second. Rapid radios. It's annoying that everything has to be so complicated now. You know, every device needs an app, and of course every app needs an account, and every account, it needs a password verification code. Security question. Apparently the name of your first grade teacher. I don't even. God, I just. I just bought a new camera recently and it's got an app for it. I'm just like, I just want to load it into my phone. That's all I want to do. Just into my pick. Can we just do that? Nope, nope, nope. Apparently I signed in once. Now I don't know what the password is. I don't even know what email I used for it because it didn't come to me. Is that. Would you like to send us you to send us to send you an email? Yep. Yep. I didn't get it. I don't get it. All right, so I guess I guess Bag is going to go back to using my phone for pictures, I guess. Look, you. You don't need all that complexity in your life. You don't. I want you to talk. I want you to talk about getting some rapid radios, okay? If you're in business, it's great. You have family, have a farm, you have a ranch like we do. You, you're traveling with your family anywhere. You're going to the 4th of July with your family. Oh, they're going to get lost. Somebody's going to go for ice cream or something, and then they're going to be gone. And you're gonna be like, I don't know where they are. And you'll get lost. And it'll be two days later. It'll be like Gilligan's island for a while. You'll be eating coconut cream pie that Ginger made for you or whoever. I mean, it'll get ugly. Unless you have maybe something simple like rapid radios. They ship fast. You just. You turn them on out of the box, turn them on, push to talk, done. And they'll ship from their headquarters in Michigan. It's rapid radios dot com, rapidradios dot com. It's communication redefined. Underneath left and right labels is a common craving for truth. Feed yours@glenn beck.com.

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's for John Thune. He walks in big, talks like a king but the room stays cold. When it's time to bring. He points at the board then ducks the fight. All soup, no spark and the words all bite. He says, I got this. Then shift the blame. The same old grin with a different name. Say it loud, say it plain. You had the chair but lost the game. Too much pose, not enough drive. You keep the crowd but you never arrive. Yeah. Oh, Thune, the balless rhino. More in just a minute. It's Monday. We are living in a time where it's really easy to forget what this country is actually about, how it came to be. And we talk about the founders like they just appeared fully formed out of history. But that's not how it happened. That's why I think young George Washington is so important right now. This is a film that takes you back before he was president, before the revolution was won, before George Washington was George Washington, that symbol. And it shows you the young man he really was. Not perfect, not polished, but somebody who is shaped by failures, hard decisions and courage, and by a sense that there was something bigger than himself at work. Great leaders are not created in comfort. They're forged when things are hard when stepping forward cost you something. With the 250th anniversary of America right around the corner, this is a powerful way to market.

Pass it on. Crank the game back is on. The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Glenn Beck is our hello America. There's a lot going on tomorrow. I'm really excited for tomorrow's show because tomorrow I'm gonna, I'm gonna build a case that we're at a turning point, and it's a good turning point, should we choose to accept it, Mr. Phelps. But it's a good turning point. It is something that I think. I mean, I re. I had a hard time sleeping last night. I probably slept 90 minutes last night because I was thinking about this all night. I'm like, I'm trying to work it out of my head. I'm like, I know. I think this is actually a good. I think something miraculous is happening, and I, I want to build this case today and, and share it with you tomorrow. So you don't want to miss that. And it, it, it's something I've learned from foreigners. You know, there's a lot of foreigners here now, and they are pointing out all of the good things that are happening in America. And it got me to thinking and connecting some dots, and I want to show that to you. There is a. There is somebody that I wanted to come on today. He is a guy who is seeking asylum here in the United States, and he says Americans are taking the US for granted. And I think we are. We just, we don't realize what we have. And he's a guy who came from South Africa and trying to stay here and become a citizen, or at least get asylum, actual asylum, because of what is happening to the farmers in South Africa. And a lot of people say this isn't true. I'm going to ask him. Let him tell you. Hear it from the horse's mouth. Hear from a guy who's experienced what's happening with the white farmers and the genocide that some say are happening in South Africa. I happen to believe it, but you can decide. We're going to talk to Jason Bartlett in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Lifelock. There's something particularly infuriating about the modern criminal. They don't even have the decency to rob you a person. You know, they Sit behind a keyboard somewhere stealing identities, opening account, making purchases with somebody's information, you know, and it could be you. They don't know you, they don't care about you. They're just, you're just an opportunity to them. And if they get away with it, they move on to the next person. You know, I'm a big believer in making their job as difficult as possible. And that's where LifeLock comes in. LifeLock helps monitor for signs of identity threats and will alert you to some suspicious activity. And if you ever do become a victim of identity theft, you're going to have access to a US based restoration specialist that'll help you untangle this mess because it's a real knot. You know, I can't promise your cyber criminal will end up in handcuffs, but I can tell you this, the more people take their identity security seriously, the harder we make it for these guys to succeed. And that's a pretty good start. So protect yourself now with LifeLock. Join up now and save 30% off your first year with a promo code BECK Call 800LifeLock 1. 800, LifeLock. Head to LifeLock.

Guest (Jason Bartlett or other guest speakers)
I'm great, thank you for having me. Glenn. I'm living in the land of the free and so much opportunity. I am ecstatic to be in the United States. It is a great time to be here. Like you say, something miraculous is about to happen.
- [90:34]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I think so too. So you are a sheep and cattle farmer now in Alabama?
- [90:39]
Guest (Jason Bartlett or other guest speakers)
Yes sir, I am. I started with a small amount, like five sheep and I've got up to the hundreds now and I've got about 25 cattle too, and four horses. And I, you know, I started with, I think I had my first job in the United states. I had $12 an hour. I now earn a six figure paycheck, paycheck every year. And I'm thriving. And I'm not based on the, not discriminated against because I'm white. I'm, I don't have 146 race laws against me. I just work hard and play hard and I'm earning money and just going
- [91:11]
Glenn Beck
forward and just looking you on zoom. You seem to have spent some time out in the sun recently. Maybe a little too much time in the sun.
- [91:22]
Guest (Jason Bartlett or other guest speakers)
Yes, I was walking around DC because I've been to dc, not under the Trump administration. And then I went back to D.C. because I was meeting with the Trump administration in person the past week and I walked around making these videos because this place is so clean. It's like a transformation. I had no idea it was so clean. And I forgot to wear my hat that I've always got on. And now we can see why. Thanks for noticing.
- [91:47]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, well, it's, it's not subtle. So tell me what is happening in South Africa and, and tell me what has happened to you or your family personally and, and give us some evidence because there's a lot of people in America that either A, don't know what's going on or B, have been told this is just, it's a lie.
- [92:12]
Guest (Jason Bartlett or other guest speakers)
I mean the South African government really has a actual war room that they are creating to try spread misinformation and hide this. South Africa is in turmoil. It's anarchy. It's not the rainbow nation. It is one of the most hateful nations towards minorities, including myself. There's 146 race laws. That's why Elon Musk can't get Starlink over there. And with the farm murders, there is a more than 180 farm attacks every year. Dozens and dozens of murders. There's approximately a murder every seven to 10 days. And it's not just normal murders, it's torture. It's where a 12 year old gets boiled alive in a bath or they cut your Achilles off while they tie you to a chair and they make you watch them rape 10 people, rape your 5 year old daughter. Things that are there are barbaric and inhumane and I'm sorry that I have to be so abrupt, but like I told the Trump administration, I'm going to be raw. For example, a story of my, my cousin named Dion. He lives on a small farm near Pretoria and he was having a briar. It's like a cookout that we, it's our cultural thing. At 11 o' clock at night and with his two young girls. This is just after I left and why I pleaded for asylum, that I don't want to go back. I always went to go visit them and eight black men broke in and it was deemed a normal break in. And they shot him through the back of the head. The bullet came out the front of his face. They then threw him in the fire, burned him with a grid and urinated on him while they sang Die White bastard. And his little girls had to witness this. And he doesn't get a news article. It doesn't get anything. I have got a cousin who was kidnapped and put into the trunk of his vehicle and driven around for hours and then beaten and thrown up. My other cousins have been hijacked, I've been attacked, and there's been two attempts on my life before. So they don't look at what you've got, they look at what you look like and they attack. And the government stands up and sings, kill the boy, kill the farmer, which is direct translation to kill the white man.
- [94:18]
Glenn Beck
Why is it we can't get any, any real evidence? I mean, I know, like, I've wanted to go over being able to go over a very dangerous. If you're going to report on this and they'll do everything that they can to shut you down and say that you, you know, this doesn't exist. Why, why can we not get this information out? Why? Or is there all kinds of evidence and we just don't see it?
- [94:47]
Guest (Jason Bartlett or other guest speakers)
Glenn, there is evidence everywhere. And the problem is South Africa is a DEI project that has failed tremendously. So the American hiding it with the South African media, I mean, they literally dismantled a thing called the Commando, which used to help protect the farmers. That's the first thing they did. And then in 2007, they stopped recording, the police stopped recording it as farm murders and made it home invasions. But a home invasion, nothing gets stolen in these home invasions, just hours of torture and brutality. So the evidence is out there, but you have to get it from people like me and people on X and people on Facebook who tell the truth. But also remember the people that are in South Africa, if they speak up, they will suddenly be disappeared or doxed, lots of them. The main news come out and actually state that we are going to be canceling you and they show your home address and then all of a sudden you've got to be quiet for your safety. But Ernest Roots is actually coming up to the White House, I believe in September with a wonderful initiative. And each and every farmer that has been murdered, a white cross is going to be put on the lawn of the White House so that the world can actually see. Because President Donald Trump is the only man in this universe with power that's willing to stand up and fight against these atrocities. Because what people need, need to remember and realize in America, this is the type of stuff that is coming your way if you let in migrants at the degree that they were being let in. So I'm so happy President Donald Trump is, has closed the border and decided to help people that look like me assimilate with Americans who are Christian, God fearing people who want to work hard.
- [96:29]
Glenn Beck
So wait, so you said this was a dei. And that's, that's the way I view what's happening in South Africa is they just started putting DEI in. And, and you know, it's not enough to not be racist. You have to be anti racist. You have to exact revenge. And I mean, that's, that is truly what I believe is happening there. There is DEI played out to the fullest extent and it's completely out of control. But you, you, you, you also just stated another problem there. It wasn't dei, you said, now it's immigrants. What, what did immigrants have to do with this in South Africa?
- [97:11]
Guest (Jason Bartlett or other guest speakers)
No, they. Currently in South Africa, the immigrants are getting blamed for the crime. But if you go over the border from South Africa, Africa, and you go into Botswana, into Zimbabwe, nobody harms you, nobody hurts you. So they're trying to portray that it's immigrants coming into South Africa doing these crimes, but that's not the truth. That's just an excuse because there's no such thing as accountability in that nation. What I'm talking about, immigrants in America. Look at the amount of hate towards America from people who come here. They come and I come here and I fly the American flag where the other immigrants from Somali come here and steal your money, rape your children, kill your people, and burn the American flag. That's what I mean by America needs to invite the right immigrants.
- [97:57]
Glenn Beck
How did you, how did you get here and how. I mean, how worried were you that you wouldn't get asylum?
- [98:07]
Guest (Jason Bartlett or other guest speakers)
To be honest, I thought I would get it much quicker because I now realize, and I'll explain to you how the illegals are actually playing the system. As a law abiding citizen. I entered the United States legally. We were. I was working on a cruise ship because I needed to get out of South Africa. I needed to get out. I needed something. And I used to go back for four months and I used to run my capital with my family and so forth. And then I get back on a cruise ship. And then when I left for my last cruise to my last contract out of Miami, when I got to Miami, three or four days after I'd landed, my mom called me and told me about the attack on Dion and his family. And I put the phone down and I looked at my wife and I said, we are going to be killed and I am going to do something about it. I am going to stop this. And the Lord put it on my heart that I can't just save myself. I have to save my people. And what I did is on 2020, the 1st of January, I started walking with an American flag and a keep America great hat on from Austin Capitol building to the White House. And I started walking and I said, if this is your will open doors and the doors flung open. And that's how I arrived and that's what I started to do. So I'm not going to give up until my people are safe.
- [99:24]
Glenn Beck
Tell the American people what they can do to help and where they can find the information. Give me, give me a reliable place where they can go and find all this information.
- [99:33]
Guest (Jason Bartlett or other guest speakers)
Well, I don't stand with any firms. I'm by myself. However, someone like Afriforum would be the best bet. Best bet, they've got documented details about all the murders, the brutality of the murders, etc. As well as follow people like me on, on Twitter so you can actually see what's happening firsthand because I get a lot of messages. My Facebook is full, my X account inbox is full of these horrific attacks and murders of people. So it's difficult to share this stuff. But I do share everything I do with a smile because I know the end goal is I'm a Christian man, so I know what the end is. But we do need to do something. So Americans need to use discernment because there's a lot of misinformation. It's the same about your president. Your president could cure Ebola and cancer and they would literally stand up for cancer. So white people are being murdered in South Africa and that does not fit their agenda. So go on to X, go on to Facebook and look and start delving and looking for these and look past the parts where they praising the people killing the white people and use discernment to realize that these people are really suffering and Trump has opened a door for them. And you can get people like me who want to come here, raise sheep, raise cattle, be doctors, be pilots, BE engineers, etc.
- [100:55]
Glenn Beck
What's, what's the thing that stands out to you most about America being here?
- [101:01]
Guest (Jason Bartlett or other guest speakers)
Man, this, the amount of safety, just the general safety. Like I, I bought my first house ever and I'm, I don't have a 10 foot fence around it. I mean, I understand that there's crime, but those places have got a big blue mark on it like a big democratic city. Those might have crime because you've also got criminals living there. But like in Alabama over here, everybody carries, so everybody is safe. I mean if you go to the general store, nothing has got fences around it or bulletproof fencing around it. I can my wife go for A walk. I mean, you see women walking around, you don't see that in South Africa. You see children playing out in the front yards. That's not possible in South Africa anymore, especially if you look like me. So the safety is just. It's unfathomable how fun and awesome it is just to feel safe.
- [101:50]
Glenn Beck
When do you find out about your asylum?
- [101:53]
Guest (Jason Bartlett or other guest speakers)
We meant to find out next year. However, I had a meeting with the Trump administration as well as many. I wish I could say some details on that, but they've asked me to keep it private. People that can make a change. And I'll be meeting with more senators in the upcoming week and hopefully with Governor K Ivey as well, and to create a farm initiative, because the South Africans that are coming over, I want them to be a strong community, not dispersed to places like New York and Chicago. They belong in the south and we want to rebuild the south and help the agricultural sector. So hopefully, no later than last year, next year, I will be approved for my asylum case, but I won't give up. Even if we get denied. I will walk across the country again if I have to raise awareness and do what I have to, because it is about time that America and Americans have follow President Donald Trump's orders and let people that really are being persecuted, like myself and my fellow countrymen, into the country so we can help you keep America safe and great and healthy.

This is something that has been on my heart and keeps going away, you know, busy on other things, and it just keeps coming back, going away. And I, I sincerely hope the Trump administration follows this and. Because if this is, if this is as true as I think it is, but I, I can't tell you for sure if this is true, what's going on. This is, this is a. Another holocaust, just with white farmers. And the world is doing exactly what it did the last time. You don't know for sure. And we'll find out later and we'll, you know, we'll find out, you know, if it is happening, we'll find out and everybody will go, I told you this, you know, they knew. They just didn't want to look into it. And I've tried to look into it. It's it's very difficult. You don't know who to trust. But follow Jason Jason to Bartlett. All right.

You know, use a hammer for nails, use a wrench for bolts. Use the right tool because, you know, on the job the wrong tool usually makes things a lot harder. And for some reason, though, a lot of people don't think that. They don't think about debt that way. They have high interest credit card debt and they just keep throwing money at it month after month after month, even though the interest is working against their, their entire plan, you know, for life. It's like trying to dig a hole with a spoon. You can do it. It's just going to take you a lot longer than it should. That's why I want to talk to you about American Financing. They have a smart equity loan. And if you're a homeowner, you may have built up substantial equity in your home over the years. The smart equity loan is designed to help you use that equity to pay off the high interest debt without touching your existing low rate on your first mortgage. Nobody wants to get rid of that rate. There's no upfront fees to find out if you qualify for it. So just talk to a salary based consultant today, experts who are paid to help you save, not to sell you more than you need.

Oh, goodness, my heart was going to explode listening to that interview because it just reminded me once again that it's going to take immigrants and visitors from Europe to remind us that we need to get over our PTSD from being the worst country in the world, the laughing stock of the world. These people are coming here and reminding us of why America is so great. I was, my heart was exploding. I was thinking about the Dan and Shea national anthem at FIFA and all of these white pills that we're getting this summer during these sporting events and these visits from people who have been led to believe that America is this awful country. So encouraging.

I will tell you that that's what I want to talk about tomorrow. I just think there's so many encouraging things happening. And we have an opportunity to

this off, you know, and they're not the, the left has just lost it. Do you have the, do you have the video or does Jason have it? Maybe Jason can play who has the video of the counter programming from last night and the fight. The fight was amazing last night and it was so well done. And it had these great video packages of history and heroes and just beautiful and really uplifting. And the Democrats were running counter programming and honestly, it was like put together by my dog. I mean, it was really bad. And I, I really, I want to show you the difference because gang, we're winning. We're winning. You just don't know it yet, but we are winning. They have, they've lost the narrative. They've jumped the shark and it's, it's nutsville. More on that coming up. We tell you about simply safe. You know, I like about the lock on my front door. It doesn't care about politics, doesn't care what's trending on social media, doesn't care, you know, what the crime statistics are, what they were last month, what the experts are arguing about on television. The entire job is just to answer one simple question. Do you belong here? Yep. If the answer is yep, then you have a key. Come on in. If the answer is no, we got a problem. That's really what home security is about. It's like drawing a line between the people you love and the people who wish them harm. And in that world, often it feels more chaotic than it than it used to. And the peace of mind is worth an awful lot. That's why I recommend Simplisafe. They have features like active guard outdoor protection. Simplisafe can help identity identify threats before they become break ins. Using AI powered cameras and trained agents who can actually intervene when the trouble starts brewing. They get on, you know, the system and they talk to somebody who's in your yard. Excuse me, what are you doing in the yard here? It's a whole new level of security and right now you get 50% off your new system just by visiting simplisafe.com Beck it's half off@simplisafe.com Beck there is no safe like Simplisafe.

I just, before I get into the something that's happening over in Europe, I just, I want to give you a little bit of a preview of tomorrow. And one of the things that I'm, I'm thinking about that, you know, we are on the verge of winning. We just have to be really careful and focus. And tomorrow I'm going to give you some, some, some things that you can do to help this. But there is something happening, I feel there's something happening in America and it's good. And, you know, I just said we're winning because we've, we've taken the storyteller position. Once you have the storyteller position, you win. And the reason why America has been up against the ropes for so long is Hollywood was in the story position. They knew how to tell a story and they were very, very good at it. And they've lost it. They don't know how to do it anymore and celebrate because we're not, we're not just standing around. It's not like we've lost storytellers. Storytellers have been grown on our side, not on theirs. And let me give you an example. Over the weekend, you had the UFC going on. If you didn't see the UFC fight, you really missed something spectacular. I didn't know how I was going to feel about it because, you know, if it was just a fight on the lawn and it was, you know, I don't know if it was just that I wasn't, I wasn't thrilled about it, but the president said it was a 250, you know, anniversary celebration, blah, blah, blah. So I wanted to watch it. So I watch it. And it was absolutely everything he said and more. It was so well done. Meanwhile, the left is doing counter programming now. We've got this amazing show going on in the White House on Paramount. And what do they do? They Do a no Kings. They're still doing the no Kings thing. You want to talk about losing? They're still doing the no Kings thing. And let me just give you a couple. Just a couple of clips from it. Here's Bette Midler yesterday on the counter programming to the ufc. Listen to this. Hey, there, all your fascists. Let me put you straight. When you come for the rest of us, we'll fight you at the gate, and you will lose, you fascist Badaloo. Wow. I mean, that's all you can say? That would be my whole review. If I was reviewing that for a pay, it would just be that Glenn Beck says, wow. I mean, what else do you say of that? That's awful. Awful. You gonna watch that? Do you want to hang out with people who are watching that? You want to know people who are like, did you see Bette Midler and the. You fascists are gonna lose that song? I just. That was. We were tearing it up last night. Wow. Let me give you another one. Here's. Here's cut. Here's cut three. We get there together this time. No one is getting left behind this time. No one is getting left behind. Not this time. No one is getting left behind this time. How do we get there together or never get there at all? I could have a team of Special Olympians put together a better show than that. Okay. They would. They would. It would make more sense. It would make more sense if I had. And it would at least have heart to it. You'd be like, oh, man, that was so beautiful. Not this. Nope, nope. Okay, so that's what they're doing. I think we're winning. I think we're winning because nobody wants to be a part of that. No American is going to look at that and go, oh, yeah, that's where the cool kids are hanging out. That's what I want to do. I'm going to give you more on this tomorrow. And, you know, hear me out, because I have some good news for you. I really do. I think I have good news for you. Let me take you over to England, where there's something that I think a lot of people are going to blow off, and it's. This is the kind of stuff you have to watch for. And this is where we would be if Kamala Harris would have won. Keir Starmer has come out and said that, well, they got a problem with kids. They got a real problem with kids because they're. They're watching things on social media, and they're going crazy. And look at what's happening in Ireland. Here's the Northern Ireland leader blaming social media for the violence on the street. Now, remember what, what caused the violence on the street. Quick, somebody chopping the head or trying to chop the head off of somebody else, right? And then everybody going, I didn't see that. What are you talking about? That was just a regular. That was an Irishman. That wasn't an Irishman. When's the last time they had to be heading in Ireland from an Irishman? 1612. We all know what that was. And so the, this, the, you know, the government denies it. And so everybody's like, you know what, I got a problem with this because they're lying to us and I've warned you about it. The Bubba effect starts to take. Now here is the leader from Northern Ireland. Listen, what he has to say. Social media companies have a very heavy responsibility is why we're going to bring forward new powers next week to make it clear that social media companies need to take down illegal content, particularly when we are facing circumstances such as the ones we've seen in Northern Ireland over the last two days. And I just want to convey to you the sense of fear that has spread amongst ethnic minority people in Northern Ireland because they saw the scenes that you and others reported on their screens and they've also heard about, for example, people being stopped in their cars on the way to work to be asked what their nationality is. Maybe you, maybe you potato heads should have done something, you know what I mean? I'm sorry, he didn't mean to call. He was English. He's not a potato head, he's just a drunken sot. But maybe he should have done something, you know, about it because when you don't, this is what happens. And so what are they going to do? They're going to put in new powers. Oh, that's going to make things better. Yeah. When an out of control government that's not listening to its people not doing the right thing when they enact new powers, people calm right down. One of the new powers is they're gonna. Well, let me have Keir Starmer tell. Do we have the audio of Keir Starmer?
- [117:33]
Guest (Jason Bartlett or other guest speakers)
I think back to when I was growing up and I have to say I think we had it easier. These days kids have to find their feet in a world that changes so quickly, where technology intrudes into every area of their lives and we know that harms them. That is why today the Gulf has decided to ban social media access for children under 16. It's a big step for our country.
- [118:04]
Glenn Beck
It is now. How are they going to do that?
- [118:05]
Guest (Jason Bartlett or other guest speakers)
It's not an easy thing to do, I'll be honest. Rushed into it. We've looked carefully at the evidence and we'll have to adapt to our approaches. Technology changes.
- [118:19]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. What could that possibly be, Keira? What could that possibly be that he's come up with? Because they've been thinking about it for a long time. You know what it is? Facial id. Yeah. All the kids, all they have to do is just. When they. When you want to go to a website, you just have. You just have facial id. That's it. Not a problem. Jason, I'm trying to remember. There was something like that that Keir Starmer has been trying to get for a long time. What is that called?
- [118:57]
Jason Bartlett
Digital id.
- [119:00]
Glenn Beck
Digital id. Wow. So all they'll need is digital id, and that will let them on to the. Right now he's not doing. You don't think he's doing this because he's been trying to do this and they've used every excuse in the book and they just want to absolute control of him. Everybody. What you do, what you. Where you go, what you buy, who you talk to. They can track you at all times if you have digital id. But he's not doing it because of that. He's doing it because there's a kid problem with social media. Right. Because of what happened in Ireland.
- [119:37]
Jason Bartlett
100%. That's why he's doing it. Yeah. And that's also. I'm sure that's why he's dressed up as Mr. Rogers, because he just wants to show that he's. It's for the kids safety, you know, look at. Put that picture up if you can. Again. I think even his wardrobe was crap. He's Mr. Rogers. Look how innocent that looks. He's just for your kids safety. Shut up, Keir Starmer. The reason they're going for kids is because everybody can get on board with that. Right. That's the easier way to accept it as a populace. It's like, oh, it's for the protection of our most vulnerable.
- [120:11]
Glenn Beck
Ricky, what is his popularity Rick rating? Doesn't he have a popularity rating of like 4?
- [120:18]
Ricky
Let me look that up. Stand by.
- [120:20]
Glenn Beck
I'm sure it sounds like a joke, but I think it's sigil. I think it's single digits. I think it's single digits.
- [120:25]
Ricky
Oh, I think you're right. Let me look that up while you guys continue to bash Kierstrom.
- [120:28]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, okay. We're not bashing him. We're saying he's. What a hero he is. He studied this for a long time and all they need is digital id and they got it. They got it fixed.
- [120:43]
Jason Bartlett
So from Politics uk, they, they pulled out a few more, I guess, details of this. It says user, user apps where people create, share and interact with content. So they're including Tik, Tok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, X. Facebook will be banned for anyone under 16. Now they, they put in the caveat here. Don't worry, adults can still access social media through age checks like facial recognition, digital IDs, passports and credit cards. Oh, I wonder what they really want out of this. Glenn, could it be any more obvious?
- [121:18]
Glenn Beck
No, I can't think of any. You know what? They won't be able to access guarantee you, even though they just said you can, they will not be able to access X. Guarantee it because Musk is not going to put play with this. He won't. He won't. Really? You want me to do what exactly? No, and we gotta focus. But anyway, he's, he's not gonna play that game. And they're gonna, because they've been after him. They want him done and so they're gonna come after him.
- [121:50]
Ricky
You watch, he stands between an 18 and 23% favorability rate.
- [121:54]
Glenn Beck
Shut up. I thought it was single digits. Really? He's that high?
- [122:00]
Ricky
I don't think that's high.
- [122:02]
Glenn Beck
No, I meant, I meant that you have to be high. If you, if you were part of him and said, yeah, I'm for him. I'm for him. Yeah, I get it, okay? It's. It is, it's amazing how many people fall for this stuff. Even though it is so obvious. You know, it used to, it used to be kind of subtle. Now it's so obvious. He's been talking about digital ID forever. He has used every excuse under the sun. But now we're going to get it with your children. We're just going to do it because we want to protect your children. Because it's just wrong what's happening. These companies, they have to be held accountable because. Did you see that? That, that poor man, all he was trying to do was just. Just help that other man breathe by putting a big slit in his throat while pinning him down on the street. That's all he was doing. That's all he was doing. Because I heard somebody on the street said they couldn't breathe. And so I think that was the same story. And if it's not, we'll just go with that because that's what he was trying to do. He was trying to just, you know, just put, like, a little trach in his throat so he could breathe. I'm sure that's what it was. And then social media turned it into something, you know, horrid and tawdry. And that's why we need digital id so we can track your children for the rest of their lives. And you, too. Okay, Here. That's great. God, I'm glad I am American. All right. Back in just a second. Feels like the country has a little momentum again. But if there's one thing history teaches us is momentum is not the same thing as victory. As conservatives, we've. We have a really bad habit of relaxing the moment things start to go our way. We start thinking, oh, the fight's over. I got that guy in, so everything's gonna be fine. Yeah. Yeah. The other side never stops organizing. Okay. They never stop funding their causes. They never stop playing the long game. It's why I believe, you know, it is so important to support companies that share our values, companies that understand this isn't just about selling a product. It's about preserving a country. That's why I'm proud to partner with Patriot Mobile. Yeah. Provide great wireless service on all three major networks. Yeah, you can keep your phone, keep your number, get all the features you expect, but they're also building something bigger.

Ricky, is there anything that we've missed that we need to hit here? On their way out, did you want
- [125:26]
Ricky
to hear from Torch insider? Nicole who?
- [125:29]
Glenn Beck
Always take that as a no.
- [125:31]
Guest (Jason Bartlett or other guest speakers)
I don't know.
- [125:32]
Glenn Beck
I can't hear you. Again. We didn't fix that. From Friday. Can we find out why? I can't hear her. I can hear her off the air. Can't hear her on the air. It's not a problem. Not a problem for me. All right, let's have that fixed if we can, for tomorrow. We are going to bring some good news to you tomorrow. I've got a new theory that I'm working on, and I think you're going to like it. Also, we'll tell you about how the Somalis all across the U.S. including the Minnesota Daycare center, fund 85% of the donations to the Utah Democrat House hopeful Liban Mohammed Somalis. And they're wow. Because there's so much poverty with the Somalis in Minnesota, yet this guy's getting 85% of his donations. And they're coming from a Minnesota daycare center as well to a Utah Democrat that's running for of the House.
- [126:32]
Ricky
Huh.
- [126:34]
Glenn Beck
That's interesting, isn't it? More tomorrow. May God save the Republic.
