The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We have a lot on Charlie Kirk on what's happening this week. What happened last week we have some information now about what the FBI did, how they found this guy so quickly. It was a hint. Due to you, the public, they, Kash Patel decided to do something and break with FBI protocol and involve the pitted citizenry. And it was just like 12 hours later that we had the guy in custody because of the American people. We'll have more on that and who this guy really was coming up in just a minute. Stand by. First, let me tell you about Relief Factor. Turns out you don't have to be old to hurt. You know, you just have to have lived a little. Maybe tore your knee back in high school. Maybe you did, you know, many hours on concrete floors. Or maybe your pain doesn't even have a story. It's just been sneaking up on you one year at a time. That's why I take Relief Factor, and I recommend you do, too. It's not a. It's not a drug. It's a daily supplement developed by doctors and designed to support your body's natural fight against pain and inflammation. And it works in four different ways, targeting the underlying sources of discomfort, not just masking them. And unlike over the counter stuff, this is something you can take daily because it's actually good for you. Tons and tons of people have found that it changed their lives, not just for me, but for. Over a million people have tried this, and most of them are still taking it. 70% of them are still taking it every single day because it works. Before your pain gets worse, try Relief Factor. Will you please give their three week quick start a try? For $19.95, just visit relieffactor.com or call 800, the number for relief. That's 800 for relief. Welcome to the program, Mr. Stubergear. And Jason Butrill, who is joining us this hour to give us an update on a few things. Hello, Stu.
- [05:07]
Stu Burguiere
Hey, Glenn. How's it going?
- [05:09]
Glenn Beck
It was good. How was your weekend? Good.
- [05:11]
Stu Burguiere
You had a pretty busy weekend up at the ranch, I saw.
- [05:15]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah, I did. We. We did a, like a little fireside at my house. We invited about 20 people, ended up being about 70 people, I think. Jason, was that about right at the house last night? And. And I took them through history, and it was. It was for the youth. And, you know, it's weird because I did one last week with the youth, and we had about 40 people there last week. And this one was very different. You know, the Charlie Kirk things put a whole different feel on it. We talked about what it is to be a martyr. You know, what our political underpinnings are why this matters. Had a great conversation with these kids. Really, really sharp, sharp kids. I mean, Erica Kirk said it right. You have no idea what you've unleashed. You have no idea. These, the shooter and the left, they just don't know. And it's, it's not a movement of anger at all. It was an. It was. I saw determination. And I have in the last few days, online and in person, it's just determination. It's not. I'm not sitting down now. There's no way I'm sitting down. What do I have to do? I'm here, Lord. What do you. What do you need me to do? And it's, it's remarkable. But I posted some stuff just a few minutes ago. All of the participants in it were under what, 19, I think. And we went out at the very end, we went out to our front gate where we have a flag flying. And it was at half staff. And that ended yesterday at 6pm and so I brought everybody out and we stood around the flagpole and raised the flag to. Two young guys. Raised the flag. Some, another kid who was just, really, just this great kid, plays the trumpet. And it's like two hours before I'm like, hey, can you play Taps? And he's like, I don't know. I think. And so he played Taps and it was really a moving thing. And I know there were people that did stuff like this all over the country over the weekend. Huge turnout all over the country.
- [07:33]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, there's been a couple times this week where I was like, glenn, let's not do this right now. Let's, you know, just for security purposes.
- [07:42]
Glenn Beck
Let'S maybe take a step back a little bit.
- [07:45]
Stu Burguiere
And I'm glad you did not on both occasions, because what happened yesterday is.
- [07:53]
Glenn Beck
Exactly what we should be doing, is.
- [07:55]
Stu Burguiere
Exactly what Charlie Kirk would want us to do. And you put it in context and.
- [08:01]
Glenn Beck
You know, with what happened with Charlie.
- [08:03]
Stu Burguiere
And I, you've mentioned this. I've thought about it. The only time I've seen something or witnessed something like what happened last night was going to a church in northern.
- [08:16]
Glenn Beck
Iraq and seeing and talking to the.
- [08:18]
Stu Burguiere
People that had just gotten attacked by isis. Now those people stared, you know, evil in the face.
- [08:24]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. We were told isis, by isis. We were told ISIS was going to hit this church at 7pm and they had a mass at 7pm at that church. And I'm flying in from New York and I get onto the ground, it's about 5:30, and I said, so where are we meeting? And my Security said at the church. And I'm like, excuse me, what? And at the church and at 7 o', clock, mass started and it was packed and Isis wasn't fooling around. They were like, we are going to kill everyone in that church at 7pm And I walked in and I saw these people celebrating Christ and it was like, it was insane. I'd never seen anything like it. And I talked to him afterwards and I'm like, how do you. I mean, this wouldn't have happened in America. We wouldn't have gone. We would have gone someplace else. And they said, what do we have to lose? We have everything to gain. They kill us, we go to heaven, we're fine with that. We'd rather be with Jesus, you know, we're not giving it up. And I thought, Americans have never had to stand for their faith. We've never really had to stand for our faith.
- [09:27]
Stu Burguiere
Faith and action is what I saw out there in Iraq, and faith and action is what I saw last night. The looks I remember seeing on the children in northern Iraq, where literally it was life and death. Their faith was everything was what I saw from those kids last night as you told them about American history, put everything into context. You talked about martyrs.
- [09:47]
Glenn Beck
You walked them through from the first Bible that was printed, brought over from.
- [09:52]
Stu Burguiere
From, from England over to here, what it took and then the struggles that our founders took to ensure that, you.
- [09:59]
Glenn Beck
Know, that the citizens or citizenry will.
- [10:01]
Stu Burguiere
Be defenders of speech, defenders of freedom. And you took them all the way through it, showing them the documents. Their eyes were glued on you. The time I was like, this is exactly, exactly what we should be doing to carry on this torch and this legacy. And we saw it everywhere, from NFL stadiums yesterday, everywhere, this ranch, all over social media saying, I'm going to church for the first time in my life.
- [10:28]
Glenn Beck
Baseball, oh my gosh, nascar. I mean, it was everywhere this weekend. I mean, America has changed. It was a turning point. It was a turning point. Last night I was talking about martyrs and I talked about Abraham Lincoln and I read to the kids the Gettysburg Address. And I thought, if this isn't appropriate for today. Gettysburg Address. Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we're engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. Is that not what we're doing right now? We're in a cold war right now. It was hot last week. I pray that it doesn't continue to be hot. But we're in a cold war, and isn't that what we're debating right now, whether a nation so conceived that all men are created equal and can rule themselves, whether that can endure, whether that can survive. We are not met on a battlefield. We now meet on a battlefield of that war. We've come to dedicate a portion of that field, yada, yada, yada. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far beyond above our poor power to add or detract. Think of that as what Charlie Kirk did. How can we do anything that elevates that act? It's that act. It's not where it happened. It's nothing. It's that act. What he did makes everything else pale in comparison. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they fought and have so far nobly advanced. Think of that. Nobody's going to remember anything. I said. Nobody's going to remember anybody. Anybody says nobody's going to remember anything that was said at the eulogy. You might remember his wife's words. Those were powerful. But that is because that's part of the struggle that he just. He did. That's part of it.
- [13:00]
Liz Wheeler
That's.
- [13:00]
Glenn Beck
That's part of him. Everybody else is just nothing but words. Nobody's going to remember any of this. But we have to dedicate ourselves to the unfinished work. It's rather for us here to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from this honored dead, these honored dead, we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave their last full measure of devotion. And that we here highly resolve that he will not have died in vain and that this nation under God, shall have a new birth of freedom. And that the government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth. Do you know why we won the Civil War? Do you know what happened right after this? Abraham Lincoln said, I'm not a Christian. He wasn't his. His father was a horrible, horrible guy. Used to beat the scriptures into him. You know, those kind that get drunk and then take the belt. And Little Abraham Lincoln, 6, 7, 8 years old, he would get in trouble and his dad would get drunk and he would take his belt and he would whip him While quoting the scriptures. Well, there's nothing that makes somebody want to be a Christian more than that. And so Abraham Lincoln rejected Christianity. He rejected it entirely. And he said later in life, he said, when I was. When I. When I was. When I became president, I wasn't really a Christian. Now, there's some debate on that because he studied the Bible, he knew the Bible, he preached it in. In services before he became president. But in his own words, I wasn't really a Christian when I was elected. When my son died, I wasn't a Christian. I didn't become a Christian until Gettysburg. Now we think of Gettysburg. Gettysburg happened in the summer, and we think, oh, then Abraham Lincoln went up there right after. Or he went up a couple of months later. And, you know, after they cleared out all the fields and buried all the dead, the dead still wasn't. They weren't buried. It happened in the summer. He comes in November, and they were still stacking bodies up like cordwood. Imagine the scene. Imagine the smell of Gettysburg. He says, that's when I became a Christian. How many people on earth this last week became a Christian on the killing field? They saw Charlie Kirk and they thought, you know, I wasn't a Christian before. But I think I understand what it means to be a Christian today. Abraham Lincoln, that event brought him to his knees, where he begged the Lord and said, what do you. What do you want? What is it you want? I'll do it. Just tell me. We were losing the war like crazy. He issues a proclamation and a. And a request for the nation to go into prayer, fasting and humiliation, meaning asking God for forgiveness for all of our sins. And he basically said, you know, look, if the Lord wants every drop of blood that was drawn by the lash to be compensated for by taking all of our treasure and putting it up on a big pile, and all of us have to pay for it, not just in physical cash or treasure, but also with our own blood. Then God is just. Whatever God wants. He's just, this was wrong. We did it. Let's pray fast and beg for forgiveness. That's how we won. That's how we won. It was the moment of Gettysburg. And I contend this may be the moment of Gettysburg in our generation. This may be it. Because you've seen it. You're seeing. I ask Grok last night, I said, scour, scour social media and tell me, is there a difference between the left and the right and the way they're talking about Charlie Kirk? And is there. Is there an increase of people talking about God in a positive way. Turning, turning over their life to God. Grok said huge since Charlie's Kirk, Charlie Kirk. Huge. Big difference between the left and right. One is talking about revenge and politics and the other one is generally speaking. It did point out that there are bad guys on both sides, but generally speaking, the right is talking about God and coming back together, uniting, trying to stand against evil in peaceful ways. That's new. That's new. And the number of people who are saying, I'm committing to Christ, I'm going to church, I'm going to change. Do you know the number of. I think it was Saturday or Friday. I heard 36, 000 new TP USA charters for, for colleges. I think it's in the 70, 000 range now. It's sweeping the nation. It is sweeping the world. Did you see in South Korea, people chanting Charlie Kirk, I am Charlie K. In Europe, all across the, all across the world. This indeed was a turning point. Back in just a minute. Let me tell you about my Patriot supply. You don't have to be a doomsday prepper to know the world's getting less stable. Although I suppose it probably doesn't hurt. But over the years we've seen pandemics and lockdowns and grocery shortages and power grid failures, disrupted supply chains, and all of it happened without warning. You know, in England they've got the biggest power outage that has happened since World War II and it was done by a bunch of leftists. And it could take a year to get the power back on for that. Those, those people in England. I mean, that sounds like fun. There's a picnic for you, huh? Disaster doesn't send a save the date card. It just happens. That's why I keep emergency food from my Patriot supply. Each kid is packed with real meals. Breakfast, lunch dinners designed to last 25 years. And that means if there's ever a natural disaster or a blackout or even a financial hardship, you'll have enough food to take care of your family. And right now they've got a preparedness mega kit. It's a four week supply of emergency food plus the grid Dr. 3300. It's a power bank, a portable stove, a water filtration system, survival gear, fire starters, navigation, communication tools, everything you need. Look, being prepared is not crazy. Betting everything on normal, staying normal, that's crazy. Stock up. Now, with my Patriot supply, go to my Patriotsupply.com, you can get 90 preparedness essentials totaling over 1500 dollars absolute free. Just head over to my Patriotsupply.com Glenn and get all the details on how that can happen for you@my patriotsupply.com Glenn. 10 seconds and back to the show. So, Stu, have you seen the stuff from Tyler Robinson? He's the killer. He was joking with his friends on Discord, saying, this is my doppelganger. And the reason why he was saying that was because the FBI released the photos of him, and everybody started to see it. That was breaking with FBI protocol. Usually they don't do that. Apparently. They don't want to tip the person off that they're getting close. And Cash Patel said on. When was it? Thursday, we have it. Why are we holding it? They said, well, it could just do. It could let him know that we're getting close. And he's like, getting close. We're not close. We want to be right up close and personal with putting the handcuffs on him. Release it. And so the FBI released it and. And said, if you know this person, give us information. Led to an overwhelming vat of information coming in, and within 12 hours, they had him. That's there. There's. That's a huge difference in the FBI. Huge difference in the FBI. But then he goes on to say, this is my doppelganger. And people were like, yeah, it looks like you, dude, you better hide the gun. And he was on saying, yeah, it's a guy from California. I bet it's a California. Definitely not me. And it was him.
- [21:43]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. Trying to cover his tracks, I suppose. Yeah. I mean, it makes sense to release these photos of the second that you have them in a situation like that. Remember, this is, what, 33 hours? Which isn't in the grand scheme of things, that long of a time. It felt endless. But he was hundreds of miles away.
- [22:02]
Bill O'Reilly
Right.
- [22:03]
Stu Burguiere
I mean, this was not a situation where he. Once you get off that the area where an incident like this occurs, it gets really, really hard to track somebody down unless people have an idea what they're looking for. And that seems to be pretty obvious to, I think most people. I'm glad they did it the right way there. And that does seem to be the reason they found this guy. Right? Everyone's talking about, well, come on, the dad turned him in. Like, what do you mean? This is great police work. Well, there's an element of great police work that led to that, Right. Where if you don't have all those photos, if you don't have those. That imagery that goes out, the parents don't see it, they don't recognize him, they don't encourage him to. And you know, seemingly I don't call.
- [22:51]
Glenn Beck
In, you know, I'm not sure. Do either of you guys know, did he actually, Was he fine with turning himself in because he's not participating? He's not, no.
- [23:02]
Stu Burguiere
He, he said he would rather die than turn himself in, apparently.
- [23:06]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [23:07]
Stu Burguiere
The father tried to encourage him to do that. He said he would kill himself. They eventually brought in a minister. It's a little, it's a little shaky around this area with the details, but they brought in a minister that I guess talked to him and it seems like initially to someone, a family friend or something called in the actual confession that brought them there. So it's a little bit interesting on how it happened. We don't have all those details quite yet, but it was the pictures that alerted the parents and a relative to say, hey, this looks like your kid. And that's how that all started.
- [23:43]
Glenn Beck
So there is motivation possibly. Next. This is Glenn Beck. Let me talk to you about Simplisafe. You know, sometimes it's not the big emergencies that'll shake you up. It's the little ones.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. The Vice president today is going to be doing the Charlie Kirk show directly following this broadcast from 12 to 2. And he's going to be, I think he's doing it from Washington, D.C. you know, it's, it's going to be hard to secure TP USA for something like the vice president, but he'll be doing it today, two hours on air on the Charlie Kirk Show. I'm going to be doing it Wednesday from TPUSA. You can watch the Charlie Kirk show on the charliekirkshow.com rumble and also on his X account or America's Voice network. But make sure you join us. I found out today that they're not announcing I know who else is doing it this week. It's an incredible roster and they're not announcing it for security reasons. And I wish I would have thought of that before I said something, but, you know, and they're still doing the campus things. I mean, I find that amazing. How are you going to make that thing, you're not doing it outside, that's for sure. How are you making those secure and who's going to do it? I was supposed to be with Charlie in two weeks, I think on one of these campuses. And I don't, I mean, I said to Joe, I don't have the temperament for that one, Charlie. I, I'm not, I get testy fast. I, I don't, I don't, I, I have a hard time with stupidity. But Charlie didn't. I mean, Charlie was able to sit there through it and really talk to people. And that's not me. I just don't do that. But I don't know. They're still doing them. So I don't know if I know my daughter does not want me to go.
- [27:22]
Stu Burguiere
Was that something that developed over time, Glenn, for Charlie? Because my impression of Charlie early on was he was in there mixing it up maybe more aggressively. And then I noticed always respectful but was out there. The clips I saw of him were always him mixing it up with some liberal on campus. And then I was very impressed by him over the past couple years at least when I noticed it that how he was able to take time with people and try to explain things in a very calm, rational way is particularly around faith. I mean, he was a shining example of what you're supposed to be doing in those interactions. It's very difficult to do. Did that develop over time for him?
- [28:05]
Glenn Beck
I couldn't tell you. I noticed it the same way I noticed it that he became calmer and calmer, you know, as Things went on. I think he just. I mean, he was. Did he have a photographic memory? I don't even know. You know, a guy didn't go to college. That's probably why he's as smart as he was. But he never went to college. Everything he learned, he learned on his own, through his own, you know, research and homework and reading. He was constantly reading and, you know, through scriptures. And I. I bet you he mellowed with. As he became more and more mature in his faith. I bet he mellowed at that point and became just more confident in his faith as well.
- [28:51]
Stu Burguiere
There's a clip that went viral a few months ago. I think we played it on the air. I don't remember exactly if we did, but I know I talked about it off the air a lot with various people. I didn't know Charlie Kirk was this guy, and it was a clip of him doing a podcast with a bunch of porn stars. Do you know this clip?
- [29:10]
Glenn Beck
No.
- [29:10]
Stu Burguiere
And he's talking to them, and he's just like, you know, I just think God has something better for you.
- [29:17]
Glenn Beck
Oh, I do remember that.
- [29:18]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. And it was like.
- [29:19]
Glenn Beck
It was amazing. Yeah.
- [29:21]
Stu Burguiere
Like, it was, you know, when I saw, like, oh, right wing guy on the podcast with a bunch of porn stars, like, I almost didn't even click on the clip because, I don't know, I've seen a million of this type of stuff, and it's just. It's not the type of stuff that interests me. And then seeing the way he handled that situation was, like, really impressive. And also, it made you think, how can I be more like this person in a moment like that? And the reaction of all of the people around him was to be like, wow, you're really respectful, and we appreciate you having this conversation. And maybe he didn't win anybody over to Christ in that room that day. Who knows? Maybe someone will be changed by that interaction. But he was a shining light of what you were supposed to do, and I thought it was really, really impressive. I was very impressed by Charlie Kirk in person. You see so much stuff on social media, and it's like. I don't know, it's all. Everything on social media is trash. But meeting him in person and seeing him go through the detail that he had, he was really well read, as you mentioned.
- [30:28]
Glenn Beck
Let me play the clip here. Here's the clip.
- [30:31]
Stu Burguiere
Thank you guys for a respectful conversation, even though we see things very differently. And I hope the chat enjoyed it.
- [30:37]
Glenn Beck
Look, for whatever it's worth, if you're.
- [30:41]
Stu Burguiere
Engaged in the Creation of that content. I think God has a better plan for you. I know that might sound preachy and.
- [30:45]
Glenn Beck
Not what you want to hear, but.
- [30:47]
Stu Burguiere
Just maybe you'll have an encounter with God.
- [30:49]
Glenn Beck
And Jesus loves all of you, and.
- [30:51]
Stu Burguiere
He can transform your life. He transformed my life.
- [30:53]
Glenn Beck
I've had a lot of problems in my life. A lot of problems.
- [30:56]
Stu Burguiere
And Jesus solves everything. And every day is a new day. And it's a hopeful, beautiful life ahead of you. And I know that might not be.
- [31:04]
Glenn Beck
Something you even believe.
- [31:05]
Stu Burguiere
And you might think that all Christians hate you in your way of life and all those sorts of things.
- [31:10]
Bill O'Reilly
Most of them do.
- [31:11]
Glenn Beck
Well, I'll say this.
- [31:11]
Stu Burguiere
I'm a pretty firm, believing, outspoken Christian, and God loves every single one of us.
- [31:16]
Glenn Beck
We're all sinners, and Jesus died.
- [31:18]
Stu Burguiere
I mean, you've definitely been the most respectful one that I've seen. Well, thank you. That's very, very kind. And I can tell you, it's not me. If it was me, I'd be yelling and screaming.
- [31:28]
Glenn Beck
It's the Holy Spirit.
- [31:30]

That's fantastic. That's exactly how I want to remember him. That clip.
- [31:35]
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
He was a good man. He was exactly like that. He was a good man. Let me go back to the. The information that we have, it looks like now the FBI is investigating the social media post by at least seven different accounts that appear to have had foreknowledge of the assassination, one of which referred to the date of Kirk's assassination. September 10th, more than a month before it took place. All were deleted in the days following the killing. Several of the accounts appear to be transgender individuals. At least one of them followed Tyler, Robinson's roommate, with whom Robinson was allegedly in a relationship with. The FBI has received archive copies of the posts. The post don't establish that any of the individuals knew or conspired with Robinson. But, you know, it's pretty damning, pretty damning posts, especially from, especially from the, the roommate. You know, I, I, I don't know what. He apparently is cooperating with the police. Everybody around Robinson is now cooperating with the police. But, but we'll see. We, we just don't have any idea of what actually happened yet. There, there is suspicion that there might have been more people at least involved or knowing about it. And now there's also suspicion that possibly the, there was foreign influence on this. Now, I don't know if any of this is true yet. Did you see the two guys that were arrested for putting the bomb under the truck, the Fox 13 truck in Salt Lake? City. So authorities say that they arrested two men on putting a incendiary device under a Fox 13 news vehicle in Salt Lake City. Bomb squads responded. This was on Friday. They found this suspicious device under the vehicle parked near an occupied vehicle. The bomb had been lit but failed to function as designed. We don't know, we don't know why this was the target. We can, we can guess at it, but we don't know. But the two suspects identified neither one of them. It appears as though they had some sort of record because they were not supposed to be near guns. I don't know why that is. We know their names. They appear to be Arab of Arab descent. We don't know if they were here legally or illegally. It appears as though they may have been Muslim. Ages 58 and 31. Might have been a father, son. We. We just don't know yet. They went to the house and they found all kinds of bomb making materials and guns, et cetera, et cetera, none of which either of them were supposed to be anywhere near. Obviously, I don't know why you would be around bomb making, you know, it's like you're supposed to be around bomb making material, really, because I think that's pretty much a good rule of thumb for everybody. And maybe that's, I mean, unless you're in the bomb making, you know, industry, being being away from bomb making material probably might be a good rule of thumb, I think, you know, but we'll find out more about these two guys as the investigation goes on. All right. More in just a second. Let me tell you about ifcj, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. The slaughter of innocent men, women and children on October 7 was the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. And over 1200 people were murdered, hundreds taken hostage, entire families erased. And yet, less than two years later, their names are rarely even mentioned. The murderers are excused. The survivors are blamed. And instead of mourning with Israel, the world is marching against her. But not you. Not me. On October 5, just days from now, millions of Americans will join together in a powerful act of solidarity by planting an Israeli flag in their front yard as a part of the Flags of Fellowship movement organized by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. It's not a protest. It is a declaration that we haven't forgotten. That the lives lost still matters, that those still being held hostage still matter, and that we stand with Israel not in silence, but in love and faith and unity. It's more than symbolic, it's spiritual. So join us, will you? Let the world know that the light still shines in darkness. Get more information about how you can join the Flags of fellowship movement, Visit the fellowship online@ifcj.org that's ifcj.org history's got a warning label, and if we don't read it, we'll live it. Stay sharp, friends. Glenn Beck returns in a jiffy.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We are taking contributions for Charlie's family. 100% of the proceeds going to go to Erica and the kids. I mean, did you see Erica? I did. Oh my gosh. She said, you know how she told her three year old where daddy was? It was just heartbreaking, just heartbreaking. But we want to make sure the family is taken care of. And, and I think the family is going to be taken care of. I also want to make sure, however, that the tpusa, their mission goes on. And so if you give, go to givesendgo.com 912project. You know, it's, it's our way of saying thank you. And, you know, Charlie came out of that era of the 912 project. He. He started becoming politically aware, you know, the Tea Party sign side. And he watched and listened every single day. And boy, oh boy, did he surpass all of us quickly. But you can go to givesendgo.com 912project and donate. Every donation reflects the strength of this community and our resolve to stand together. And it'll go right directly to Erica and she can direct the funds to TP USA because they are going to need fundraising, etc. Etc. They just lost their biggest fundraiser raiser, at least until they get on their feet. You know, this is a massive blow, massive blow, obviously to that organization. And our thoughts and prayers are with everybody at tpusa. All right, let's see.

Stu Burguiere
Glenn, you mentioned.
- [40:23]
Glenn Beck
We were just talking. Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
- [40:25]
Stu Burguiere
I was gonna say you mentioned the. The developments is in the investigation, which is really fascinating because there was a lot of viral posts that people were, you know, kind of screenshotting and posting about people who seem to know something about this before it happened. And you can never tell whether those are manufactured, whether they're even real. Aaron Sabarium, who we've had on the show before, is, is reporting that many of them are real and the FBI is looking into them. One person posting on September 3rd. It would be funny if someone like Charlie Kirk got shot on September 10th. Okay, someone else.
- [41:02]
Glenn Beck
It's a weird date. Pull out.
- [41:04]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, September 10th will be a very interesting day. This is something posted on August 6th. And then as the shooting goes on, the person tweets their own tweet and says, I plead the fifth. Another one. Charlie Kirk is coming to my college tomorrow. I really hope someone evaporates him.
- [41:25]
Glenn Beck
Literally.
- [41:25]
Stu Burguiere
Let's just say something.
- [41:26]
Glenn Beck
That's the killer.
- [41:27]
Stu Burguiere
What's that?
- [41:29]
Glenn Beck
That's the killer. That tweet came from the killer.
- [41:32]
Stu Burguiere
Oh, did it? Let's just say something big will happen tomorrow. That's another one. Another person. Charles James Kirk, Mr. College Dropout, does not know it's coming tomorrow. Be ready. This isn't a threat. It's a promise. These are all posted in advance of the actual incident. And there's several other people cheering on that. We did it after it was done. What's fascinating about all this is there's also an organization I wanted to mention too, that was called Armed Queers Salt Lake City that had an account and several thousand followers that deleted their account immediately after this. So the FBI is actually looking into this and Seeing it's so common with this sort of stuff in whatever culture we're in, where people do oftentimes post stuff, they can't resist it. It's the reason they're doing it half the time is to get this sort of attention. So they can't stop themselves from posting little breadcrumbs and Easter eggs to try to show how proud they are of what they've accomplished. So the FBI is taking it seriously.
- [42:42]
Glenn Beck
Really disturbing. Really, really disturbing. If, if the, you know, what was it? The Trans with guns. Queers with guns.
- [42:53]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, Armed queers, Salt Lake City.
- [42:58]
Glenn Beck
And he apparently was a part of that organization. They took down their. They took down everything, all their, you know, posts and everything, you know, right after the shooting. But I mean, what, what, what, what, what is your point? You know, queers with guns or, you know, what. What is it called again? Like armed mentally Blocking.
- [43:17]
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah.
- [43:18]
Glenn Beck
What is your, what is your, what is your point of being armed? What does that mean? You know, what, what were you suggesting there?
- [43:27]
Stu Burguiere
Well, they're, they're. The description said something like they were armed to defend trans rights or something.
- [43:34]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, well, that's probably what the guy thought he was doing when he killed Charlie Kirk. You know, these, these groups, this is a Marxist group and a revolutionary group. They were also against capitalism and, you know, America and everything else. So this was a revolutionary group that had nothing to do with their sexuality. It's just another way to indoctrinate. Indoctrinate people and bring them into the fold, but very dangerous. And if they are involved at all, I hope they all go to jail. Is Glenn Beck. Let me talk to you a little bit about Good Ranchers. You know all that fresh meat you're buying at the grocery store, you think it's fresh meat and not so much, not so much.

Glenn Beck
The dog and embrace the fire. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello America. There is a lot going on today and I got to tell you, I've never seen anything like this in my lifetime. What is happening is truly a turning point and it all stems from what happened last week. And I'm going to go into some of the things I noticed this weekend and answer, I think a really tough question that a lot of people are asking about freedom of speech. The left is starting to say the right is, you know, engaging in cancel culture. Are we? Are we? We'll answer that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about Z Factor. Used to think sleep was something you just kind of fell into. You know, you closed your eyes and you counted, you know, a few sheep or whatever, but you drifted off pretty easily.

Visit relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief. That's 800, the number four relief. Okay, there was a lot of things that were happening over the weekend. First of all, let me play cut to please. These are the protests in the uk hundreds of Thousands of people on the streets in London from the Unite the Kingdom rally. And here are the protesters, if you will, on the streets chanting, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie. And holding up pictures of Charlie Kirk. Watch this. This thing has gone global. This was happening on the streets. This was happening on the streets in places far away as South Korea. Then you have Meloni, the prime Minister of Italy, coming out and giving a pretty fiery speech. Listen to this.
- [48:57]
Liz Wheeler
He would sit in public and allow.
- [49:00]
Glenn Beck
Anyone to challenge him in a debate on any topic because he was convinced of his ideas.
- [49:08]
Liz Wheeler
He did it with a smile on his face.
- [49:10]
Glenn Beck
He did it with respect. He was frightening for this, because when you have no arguments, those who have them.
- [49:18]
Liz Wheeler
I have seen it happen many times.
- [49:20]
Glenn Beck
Those who have no arguments are left only with the weapon of criminalization, the.
- [49:24]
Liz Wheeler
Weapon of insult, the weapon of making the opponent unacceptable, the weapon of violence that always starts as verbal violence, but sometimes also becomes physical violence.
- [49:36]
Glenn Beck
I say this also because in these days I have read many inhumane comments about the death of Charlie Kirk and I have read other frightening ones.
- [49:45]
Liz Wheeler
One of these is from Pier Giorgio Odifredi and Quereso Piay Forres, an intellectual of the left who said shooting Martin.
- [49:54]
Glenn Beck
Luther King and shooting a Maga representative.
- [49:57]
Liz Wheeler
Is not the same.
- [49:58]
Glenn Beck
Now I would like to ask this.
- [50:00]
Liz Wheeler
Distinguished professor what exactly he means. Does he mean that there are people it is legitimate to shoot based on their ideas, or that it is less.
- [50:10]
Glenn Beck
Serious to shoot them because we do.
- [50:12]
Liz Wheeler
Not share their ideas, or that it.
- [50:14]
Glenn Beck
Is understandable to feel like shooting them based on his ideas? It means. It means that we should imagine lesser penalties for those who shoot a right.
- [50:27]
Liz Wheeler
Wing figure, perhaps considering as a mitigating.
- [50:31]
Glenn Beck
Factor the fact that their ideas are unacceptable. Look, so this is. I mean, this went on. It was an amazing. An amazing speech in. In Italy. So, you know, this is a global movement of hatred because it's happening everywhere. And people are saying to those who believe in their country, who believe the rule of law, who believe in common sense, things that we all used to believe in. Look, I didn't change on. On, you know, mutilation of children. I didn't change on that. You. You would have never said that it was fine to have, you know, transgender people doing dances. It was, you know, erotic dances in kindergarten or first grade. You would have never said that. You weren't for that ever. Ever. What changed? I didn't change. You changed. What. What new evidence did you get? And I don't want to talk about your feelings. I want to talk about evidence. What evidence? Did you get. You didn't get any new evidence? You didn't. You somehow or another have been brainwashed into this. This thing where you are now. You are, for all the things that you knew five years ago, eight years ago, absolutely wrong. You were. You were against it.
- [51:48]
Bill O'Reilly
It.
- [51:48]
Glenn Beck
You're absolutely against everything's. You're against shooting people in the streets who are just trying to say, hey, let's have a conversation. Okay? You're against, quite honestly, the teachers who are applauding all of this. I got an email from somebody that says, glenn, in the wake of Charlie's assassination, dozens of teachers, professors, and professionals are being suspended or fired for mocking or even celebrating Charlie Kirk's death. Critics say conservatives are now being hypocritical because you oppose cancel culture. But is this the same as Roseanne losing your job over a crude joke? Or is it celebrating murder? And that's something more serious for many. This isn't about cancellation. It's about trust. If a teacher is entrusted with children or a doctor entrusted with patients publicly celebrates political violence, have they not yet disqualified themselves from those roles? Words matter, but cheering is cheering. A death is an action. Is there any consequence for this, Jonathan? Yes, there is. So let's have that conversation here for a second. Is every. Is every speech controversy the same? The answer to that is clearly no. I mean, we've seen teachers and pastors and doctors and ordinary citizens lose their job now just for saying they don't believe children under 18 should undergo transgender surgeries. Okay? Lost their job. Cha Tra. Chased out that opinion. Whether you agree or disagree is a moral and medical judgment, and it is a matter of policy debate. It is speech in the public square. I have a right to say you're mutilating children. Okay? You have a right to say, no, we're not. This is best practices. And then we can get into the science of it.
- [53:39]
Bill O'Reilly
It.
- [53:40]
Glenn Beck
And we don't shout down the other side, okay? Now, on the other hand, you have Charlie Kirk's assassination, and we've seen teachers and professors go online and celebrate, not criticize, not argue policy, but celebrate that someone was murdered. Some have gone so far and said, it's not a tragedy. It's a victory. Somebody else, another professor, said, you reap what you sow. Well, let me ask you, are these two categories of free speech the same? No, they're not. Here's the difference. To say, I believe children should not be allowed to have gender surgeries before 18. That is an attempt. Right or wrong. Doesn't matter which Side you are. That is an attempt to protect life, to protect children and guide society. It's entering a debate about the role of medicine, the right of parents, and the boundaries of childhood. That's what that is about. To say, Charlie Kirk's assassination is a good thing. That's not debate. That's not even an idea. That's rejoicing in violence. It's glorifying death. There's no place in a civil society for that kind of stuff. There's not, and it's a difference that actually matters. You know, our founders fought for free speech because they believed, as Jefferson said, that error can be tolerated where truth is left free to combat it. So I have no problem with people disagreeing with me at all. I don't think you do either. I hope you don't. Otherwise you should go back and read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Error can be tolerated where truth is left to be free to combat it. But when speech shifts from debating ideas to celebrating death, doesn't that cease to be the pursuit of truth and instead just become a glorification of evil? I know where I stand on that one. Where do you stand? I mean, if you go back and you look at history in colonial matter, in colonial America, if you were a dissenter and you were going against the Parliament, against the king, those words are dangerous. They were called treason. But they were ideas. They were arguments about liberty and taxation and the rights of man. And the founders risked their lives against a dictator to say those things. Now, compare that to France in 1793. Thomas Paine, one of our. One of our founder, kind of, you know, on the edges of our founders, he thought that what was happening in France is exactly like the American Revolution. Washington knew it wasn't there. The crowds, they didn't gather to argue, okay? They gathered to cheer the guillotine. They didn't want the battle of ideas. They wanted blood. They wanted heads to roll. And roll they did. You know, until the people who were screaming for the heads to roll, shouted for blood, found that their own heads were rolling. Then they kind of turned around on that one pretty quickly. Think of Rome. Cicero begged his countrymen to preserve the Republic through reason, law, and debate. Then what happened? The mob started cheering assassinations. They rejoiced that enemies were slaughtered, they were being fed to the lions, and the Republic fell into empire, and liberty was lost. Okay, so now let me bring this back to Charlie Kirk here for a second. If there's a professor that says, I don't believe children should have surgeries before adulthood. Is that cancel culture when they're fired? Yes. Yes, it is, because that is speech in pursuit of truth, however imperfect it is speech meant to protect children, not to harm them. You also cannot be fired for saying, I disagree with that. If you are telling, I disagree with that, and I will do anything to shut you down, including assassination. Well, then that's a different story. When a teacher says, I'm glad Charlie Kirk is dead, is that cancel culture if they're fired? Or is that just society saying, you know, I don't think I can trust my kid to. To that guy or that woman. I don't. I. That's not an enlightening mind. Somebody who delights in political murder. I don't want them around my children. Scripture weighs in here, too. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. Matthew, what does it reveal about the heart of a teacher who celebrates assassination? To me, you go back to scripture. Woe unto them. They call good evil good and good evil. A society that will shrug on speech like this is a society that has lost its moral compass. And I believe we still have a moral compass. Now, our free speech law, does it protect both? Absolutely. Under law, absolutely. Neither one of them should go to jail. Neither should be silenced by the state. But does trust survive both? Can a parent trust their child to a teacher who is celebrating death? I think no. I don't think a teacher can be trusted if they think that children. That it's right for children to see strippers in first grade. I'm sorry, it's beyond reason. You should not be around my children, but you shouldn't go to jail for that. Don't we as a society have a right to demand virtue in positions of authority? Yes. But the political class, and honestly, the educational class, has done everything they can to say that that doesn't matter. But it does. And we're seeing it now. The line between cancel and culture, the. The. The cancellation of people and the accountability of people in our culture. It's not easy. Except here I think it is easy. Cancel culture is about challenging the orthodoxy, opinions about faith, morality, biology. Accountability comes when speech reveals somebody's heart. Accountability comes when you're like, you are a monster. You are celebrating violence. You're mocking life itself. One's an argument. The other is an abandonment of humanity. The Constitution, so you understand, protects both. But we as a culture can decide what kind of voices would shape our children, heal our sick, lead our communities. I'm sorry if you're in a position of trust, I think it's absolutely right for the culture to say, no, no, you should not. Because this is not policy debate. This is celebrating death. You know, our founders gave us liberty. And, you know, the big thing was, can you keep it? Well, how do you keep it? Virtue. Virtue. Liberty without virtue is suicide. So if anybody is making this case to you that this is cancel culture, I just want you to ask them this question. Which do you want to defend? Cancel culture that silences debate or a culture that still knows the difference between debating ideas and celebrating death? Which one More in a minute. First, let me tell you about cyber criminals. Cyber criminals have a distinct advantage over most other criminals in the criminal business. You know, they don't need to break in, they just log in. And for example, if your personal information is online, it's been exposed in something like an online data breach, which, let's be honest, probably has. They can steal your identity without even knowing about it, you knowing about it until it's far too late. They can open up a bank account, they can rent an apartment. They can commit a crime in your name. Stu, what was it? The guy was partying on your name in Miami. I think you were having all kinds of, you know, brews and pizza and everything else. Awesome.

Inscriptions on the three unfired casings read, hey, fascist.
- [64:15]
Glenn Beck
Exclamation point.
- [64:17]
Bill O'Reilly
Catch.
- [64:17]
Glenn Beck
Exclamation point. Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?
- [64:20]
Liz Wheeler
Yes, I do.
- [64:21]
Bill O'Reilly
No one has ever been more dangerous.
- [64:23]
Glenn Beck
To this country than Donald Trump, and he is a fascist to his corps.
- [64:27]
Liz Wheeler
And shut down the Senate. We are at war.
- [64:32]
Glenn Beck
We're at a war right now. We are at war. So you have to be willing to do whatever is necessary in order to save the country. And that's why gloves are off. Donald Trump and the Maggie Republicans represent.
- [64:43]
Bill O'Reilly
An extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.
- [64:48]
Liz Wheeler
And yes, there.
- [64:49]
Glenn Beck
Okay, stop now. I have said things like, they are dangerous. They are going to. They're trying to overthrow our government movement, which is true. And I can prove it to you, and I have for several years, I have proven it to you that there are those factions inside the left that are revolutionaries. I mean, we have. It just. We just talked about it a few minutes ago with the transgender movement in Salt Lake City. You know, they are communist revolutionaries. By their own description. They're communist revolutionaries. Well, communist revolutionaries, you know, they don't like peaceful transfers. They want to destroy and have a bloody revolution in the street. And so when you're looking at somebody who is fomenting revolution, yeah, I think they're a danger to the republic. When somebody says, this person is a fascist, we're at war. And you have to do whatever it takes to get that person out. And you say that over and over and over and over again, what do you think's going to happen? Because if you really, truly believe that Donald Trump is a fascist, that he is Hitler, that he is rounding up transgender people, if you really believe Stephen King, the Charlie Kirk was for the stoning. Listen to this. The stoning of homosexuals. If you really believe that, what aren't you willing to do to stop that monster? The problem is it's lies. These are lies. Donald Trump is not a fascist. You could make the case the last president was on the fascistic road with his public private partnerships. But that would require you to know the actual definition of fascism, which nobody does. But if you keep calling somebody a fascist and Hitler and we have to do whatever it takes, what do you think is going to happen? This is Glenn Beck.

If you're carrying a credit card balance right now, you're probably paying about 20% interest or more. Think about that for a second. While you are struggling to make ends meet, the banks are getting rich off your interest payments. You make a payment and the balance barely moves because you're spending everything in interest, right? It's like trying to bail out a boat with a Dixie cup. It's not going to happen. You don't have to keep playing this same game. American Financing can help you consolidate that high interest debt into a lower monthly payment. And sometimes just by using the equity in the home that you've already built up. They're not a bank. They work for you. And they have salary mortgage consultants that walk you through the options that actually make sense for your life, not for their life. No junk fees, no pressure. Just honest, practical help from people who know the system and know how to help, you know, escape all of the pitfalls in it. It's not about taking on more debt.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're talking about the aftermath of Charlie Kirk and Cancel Culture. This is not Cancel Culture. You know, and especially, you know, I don't want it driven by the mobs. I think, you know, if somebody says they're celebrating somebody's death, I think that's somebody I don't want to work with. You know, Stu and I were just talking in Minnesota. If, if anybody on my staff would have said, oh, my gosh, this is so great. Do you see? They just killed those politicians in Minnesota. I would have fired them on the spot. Would have fired them on the spot. We didn't say those things. And, you know, that's, that's not what normal people think. And if you are on the right and you do think that way, you're not a normal person. You're sick, and you should seek help.
- [69:23]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, I understand the point with the Cancel Culture thing. It's bizarre that all of a sudden we're supposed to think that the left cares about Cancel Culture after they've been developing it as a weapon for all these years. It's such a shocking thing. But I actually am pretty sensitive to the idea of an excuse for one of these things being, oh, well, this one's different. And here's why. Because you can always come up with some difference. Right? That is a very standard thing that everyone does in their arguments. Oh, well, I'm disagreeing with a position I held a month ago. Well, this is different. And here's why. There's always a way to generate a why it's different. The question is, are you actually being consistent with your principles and your values? And in this one, I don't think there's anything inconsistent with what we're talking about here. As you point out, if I've never in my life, by the way, met a person who has cheered on a murder, I've never in my life met someone like that. And so here, if you have a situation where if there was someone working here or someone I was working with, God forbid, working at my children's school, who was cheering on a murder of literally anyone, right or left, I wouldn't want them around me or around my kids. It seems like a person who's pretty unbalanced and someone you don't want around. That has nothing to do with making an off color joke. In 1998. That's what cancel Culture was about. Hey, you made a political donation to a organization that was supporting a cause at the time that was backed by 70% of people. Now we're gonna cancel you. That is the type of stuff that was Cancel Culture. This really is different.
- [71:02]
Glenn Beck
And that was also mob driven. It was also mob driven. Yeah, yeah. Cancel Culture is also mob driven. And that's the problem. Another thing that they invented on the left, they invented this Cancel Culture. And you know, honestly read Cheryl Atkinson's book. It started with my program. I mean, they did all kinds of stuff they had never ever done before to a figure in the media. And they just ripped me apart. They thought they won, but they actually didn't. And B, what they did was they perfected it. And it worked for a little while. It worked for people for a little while. They were canceling everybody. If you had a different opinion on what you should put into your body for medicine, you were called a killer. No, you. No, I'm not. There's no fact based in any of that. And your argument was based on lies. And we said it at the time. We couldn't prove it at the time time, but we could. We could see all the dots and all the connections and go, I think you're probably wrong. Look, this, this and this. But now we can absolutely prove it. And they still will say you were wrong for not wanting to wear a mask or take the vaccine. They'll still say that. They still would like to cancel you. And you don't have any place in society if you don't agree with the COVID vaccine. I mean, that, that's, that's what cancel culture is. This is don't celebrate death. If, if I didn't want to take the vaccine because I said, yeah, cuz I just want to kill a whole bunch of people, it would be cancel culture. It would be common sense and decency to remove me from whatever it is. I'm, I, I don't, I wouldn't want to go into a McDonald's with a guy going, yeah, I just want to give as. I want to kill as many grandmas as I can. Hey, you see that guy that was in Mare's Mask and his greatest killing grandparents? I wouldn't want to be around that person. That's not cancel culture.
- [73:02]
Stu Burguiere
No. If you found out a co worker was secretly in the kkk, would you want them to be around you working? No. Now, I mean, there are so many stories that are going on with all these people who celebrated it, and some of them are being targeted at their places of work. People saying, hey, do you know this person worked for you? Many of them are getting fired. A lot of them, though, are at jobs that are specifically dealing with children. For example, like teachers at schools.
- [73:36]
Glenn Beck
Teachers, every single teacher should be fired. If you're engaged in any of this, if you didn't stand up in front of your class and then on social media and everything else and say, look, I disagree with Charlie Kirk, I strongly disagree with Charlie Kirk, but this is wrong. Now let's debate why it's wrong. You do that. But anybody who was like, yeah, I mean, at uvu, uvu, my son told me that classes cheered when they heard the news that day. They cheered. Every single, every single teacher should be fired. That didn't say to their students, knock it off. What is wrong with you? You're cheering for somebody's death. I hear another word like that and you're all flunked. I'm flunking all of you.
- [74:27]
Stu Burguiere
I mean, some kids were expelled from school because of this and deserve to be, frankly.
- [74:32]
Glenn Beck
They deserve to be.
- [74:33]
Stu Burguiere
And if I want to channel my inner Charlie Kirk here for a moment and give as much grace as possible to the people There is a culture right now of people who almost treat politics and human life as this sort of like, sport. And game after specific Eagles losses, I have said certainly things that are not appropriate. I may have encouraged them to dissolve the franchise and blow up the stadium. Those sorts of thoughts enter your head, and they're irrational, Right? You know, they're irrational. And because you're joking, it's. You know. But, like, you feel like I could almost see a person doing something like this that is so involved in politics and so crazy that they can't control themselves. I have not seen one story, though, yet, and I would love to see this. This would be an incredible story to be written by an actual journalist. Find a person who had that moment and stop.
- [75:31]
Glenn Beck
I'm just laughing, just trying to think of who the actual journalist is.
- [75:34]
Stu Burguiere
I don't know.
- [75:34]
Glenn Beck
There's so much busy right now. Okay.
- [75:38]
Stu Burguiere
I would love to find someone who had that moment where they actually did celebrate it and then saw the video of themselves and realized what a monster they had become. That is an actually interesting story. I would like to see it. There has to be somebody in that crowd that had that moment, because this is not about politics. As I said, Glenn, if the same exact thing happened to someone on the left and I knew someone on the right who cheered it on the exact same way, I would never want to talk to them again. You're a horrible human being if you react that way to anyone's murder. And to sit back and see that happen. There has to be somebody, I would think, who said, God, I am lost. I've gone down this road of turning my entire life into politics. And to the point that I'm now cheering on a young father's death, what have I become? There has to be somebody who went through that moment over the past few days. I'd love to read a story about them. Not necessarily me.
- [76:36]
Glenn Beck
Did you see Christian Chenoweth? You know, the Broadway star?
- [76:41]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, I know who she is. Yeah. No, I didn't see what she said.
- [76:43]
Glenn Beck
Okay, so she came out. I can't find it here. She came out and said what a tragedy this was. She feels for Charlie's family and his children. Yada, yada, yada. That's it. Not like, hey, he was the greatest political speech giver of all time. I, you know, I go, charlie, nothing. Just, this was horrendous. It's got to stop. And I feel for his wife and children. She's being canceled now. She's being canceled. I don't know. For standing up and saying, this was wrong. That's cancel culture. That's a bunch of people with a political opinion saying, I cannot work with her. Instead of saying, I don't care what anybody's political opinion is. I feel for the children. That's the difference. The difference in cancel culture and actually just standing up for what is right. We don't celebrate. I don't know a single person that when those assassinations, the assassination happened in Minnesota. I don't know a single person. And I wouldn't want to be your friend and I would definitely excoriate you if you were a listener of mine. They came out and said, wow, that was great.
- [78:05]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, that's what part of that. You know, it's interesting, Glenn, I didn't even see social media posts to that effect. Now, social media exists to give every voice to every opinion. You can find anything. And I'm sure there were a couple, but I didn't even come across any that were excited about that. That or cheering it on. I mean, and I don't know that's what I would expect out of human beings. You know, I was, I will say, at least somewhat encouraged by, for example, a decent amount of sports franchises having moments of silence for Charlie Kirk. I don't think that happens three or four or five years ago. Right. Like, I don't think that happens in the peak woke era. No, I was, that was good. I was glad that actually happened. And, you know, it's the, it's, it's a little bit. It's a small step, but I think a really good one that you acknowledge, hey, this is just a person who died in horrible circumstances and maybe we're going down the wrong road as a society if we think anything other than a moment of silence is appropriate.
- [79:05]
Glenn Beck
Did you see the mayor up in, I think it's Massachusetts that said to the fire department, raise your flag. We're not lowering the flag. I mean, I mean, you want to know you're on the wrong side of history. Imagine being the mayor of a town that said, don't you raise that, don't you lower that flag. Raise that flag for Martin Luther King. Excuse me? I mean, this is a political and I think religious as much as Martin Luther King was a religious and civil rights assassination. This was too. This was too. And I know there's a lot of people on the right that think Charlie Kirk, you know, Charlie Kirk was against the Civil Rights Act. Well, yeah, let him make that case. Let him make that case. And I think you can make a strong case on that, and I think that civil rights leaders have been, have been just race hustlers and money hustler. Blm. Blm. That's a civil rights movement. No, it's not. No, it's not.
- [80:12]
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, and I know you talked about that before. Like, it's not undermining, you know, what came out of, of that era. Right. Like, obviously you agree with all. You've talked about it a million times. Did you agree with that? There, you know, there have been arguments legally against that act and the way it was written and all of that over the years, I need to rehash. But that's what I think.
- [80:29]
Glenn Beck
Exactly right. And, and that's exactly what he was saying. And, and Martin Luther King was a deeply flawed guy. You know why he was so flawed? Because no one else would stand up and do it because they knew the cost. I mean, getting somebody like Charlie to stand up and do this, who's not deeply flawed is pretty rare. I mean, this guy was who he said he was. Uh, and he was absolutely a civil rights, now I believe a civil rights icon because he died proclaiming the civil right of free speech. He died proclaiming the rights given to us by God. I don't understand why we would not redefine what a civil rights leader is in this moment. Because that's a true civil right. You know, Jesse Jackson, he's not a civil. Al Sharpton, he not a civil rights leader. Blm. Not a civil rights leader. They may have been, you know, Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson may have been back in the day, but in the 80s and 90s and 2000, they're not civil rights leaders. The civil rights of our era is about freedom of speech, freedom of thought. That's, that's what the whole argument is about. That's why we're so afraid of our country. Are you going to be, are you going to be banned on social media? Are you going to be allowed to say anything? Are you gonna be allowed to work anywhere? Unless if you don't agree with dei, you're out. I don't know. That's a civil right. I, I have the civil right to be able to stand up and say, no, I don't want my children seeing that. I don't want my children indoctrinated that way. I don't want to take and put that into my body, because I don't think that that is what you say it is. I have a civil right to say those things. Things. How is Charlie Kirk not the iconic civil right leader of the day? I think, I think that ground should be taken by Charlie Kirk, taken back to what it originally was. When Abraham Lincoln and Booker T. And Frederick Douglass were fighting for civil rights and doing it for the right reasons. They believed in actual civil rights, as did Martin Luther King. Back in just a second. First, let me tell you about preborn, one of the saddest things in our country. Every day, hundreds of women walk into abortion clinics, not because they're evil, but because they're terrified. They are scared out of their mind, they're broken, they're completely alone, or so they feel. They're unsupported. They're told by everybody in their family, everybody around them that, you know, ending that life, it's not really a life and it's your only option. For a lot of them, it feels true at the time. And they're facing that family pressure and partners and finances and fear. All of that preborn exists to change all of that. They offer free ultrasounds, counseling and compassion to women in crisis. Right in that crucial moment of decision. When a mom sees her baby on that screen, hears that tiny little undeniable heartbeat, something powerful happens. Hearts change, lives are saved. And that child who just could have been another statistic gets a chance to be held, loved, named preborn doesn't just fight for life, they fight for the moms as well. Your donation goes straight to those life saving moments. No hidden politics, no hidden agenda, just simple, beautiful mission of defending life. That's it. $28 provides a life saving ultrasound.

We've got to talk about, like, what it means.
- [84:40]
Glenn Beck
Means when you're running for president or you're running for one of these higher offices and you go out there and you talk about beating people up. You go out there and you say things like, I could shoot somebody in the middle of the street in New York and I could still win.
- [84:51]
Liz Wheeler
We got to talk about, like that.
- [84:53]
Glenn Beck
That is next level. Me disagreeing with you, me calling you, you know, I want to be Hitler. All those things are like, not necessarily saying go out and hurt somebody, but when you're literally telling people at rallies, yeah, beat them up and that kind of stuff. Like, you are promoting, like a culture of violence.
- [85:11]
Liz Wheeler
So we need to talk about, like.
- [85:12]
Glenn Beck
What it looks like when you don't promote a culture of violence.
- [85:15]
Stu Burguiere
It's really interesting because it's hard when you go on social media. There's so many thousands of posts to figure out what the dumbest possible take is. And then you realize there's a way to find out every time, which is whatever Jasmine Crockett is saying, you know, automatically it's the dumb possible opinion on any given subject. So we thank Jasmine for existing and giving us that pathway to truth.

This is Glenn Beck. Let me talk to you about Moxie. So there you were, minding your own business. All of a sudden you noticed a parade of ants just marching across the kitchen counter like they own the place. And then, of course, you knew they're ants. There's got to be something much, much worse out there. Roaches and spiders, silver fish, I don't even know. But you did the right thing. You called Moxie Pest Control, and they're not some spray and pray company that blasts poison around and hopes for the best. They are trained, they're friendly, and they are professionals who know how to solve the problem, not just mask it. And they treat the interior and the exterior. They knock out the problem quickly. And here's what's really the best thing. Something creeps back in between visits. They come out again for free. And it's guaranteed. There's no bugs, no drama, just peace of mind. You don't have to live in a horror movie with bugs. All you have to do is celebrate 25 years in the business. With Moxie, you'll get your free your first pest control service for $25, 25 bucks.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn BECK program. Confronting evil. That's what we're doing. We are confronting evil. And if we don't confront evil, what is the price of that inaction? Bill O'Reilly here is here with to talk about that. That's in his new book, confronting evil. Bill O'Reilly joins me in 60 seconds. Also, Liz Wheeler. In just a few minutes, she's going to be joining me. She said something about this the killer and his parents. And I want to see if I understand her correctly because I think I disagree with her to a great degree. But she's going to be joining us hopefully here in a few minutes. First, let me tell you about the Burner launcher. If you're armed, you probably carry for the same reason I do. Because evil does exist. But what about those moments when a lethal response isn't legally justified, but it's still a threat? I mean, it's a real threat. That's where the burner launcher comes in. In it's a non lethal handheld device that is for self defense. It looks and feels like a firearm, but it shoots powerful pepper, tear gas and kinetic rounds that can drop an attacker in their tracks, giving you the time you need to escape and react. Now, here's the thing. It's legal in all 50 states. No permit needed, no waiting period. You can carry it in your glove box, your purse, your backpack, ready to defend you from the unthinkable. We train for the worst case scenarios, but sometimes the goal isn't to end a life, it's to protect yours without firing a bullet. And the Burna launcher gives you the options. Look, I don't know. If you have a kid in college, I got questions for you. Why do you use your kid in college? I understand, but the other thing is, if your kids are in college, they should have a burner launcher. They can carry it on campus. It's legal in all 50 states and it could be the difference between life and death. Burn a Byrna Glenn.

Glenn Beck
You know, last week was really tough. I know it was tough for you and everybody else, but, you know, it's just I haven't. I haven't seen anything.
- [90:01]
Bill O'Reilly
Family okay? All of that. I. Yes.
- [90:06]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, family's okay. Family's okay.
- [90:09]
Bill O'Reilly
That's the most important thing.
- [90:11]
Glenn Beck
It is. So, Bill, what do you make of this whole Charlie Kirk thing? What. What happened and where are we headed?
- [90:19]
Bill O'Reilly
So my analysis is different from everybody else. No surprise to you. You've known me for so long. About a year ago, I was looking for a topic for. Because I had a contract to do another book. And I said, you know, what's happening in America and around the world is a rise in evil. It takes a year to research and write these books. And not since the 1930s had I seen that happen to this extent. In the 1930s, of course, you had Tojo and Hitler and Mussolini and Franco and all these guys and it led to 100 million dead in World War II. The same thing, not to the extent, but the same thing was bubbling yet in the world and in the United States. So decided to write a book, Confronting Evil. A book comes out last Tuesday, and on Wednesday, Putin lobster missiles into Poland, ultra dangerous. And a few hours later, Charlie Kirk is assassinated. And one of the interviewers said to me last week, your book is haunting, is haunting. And I think that's extremely accurate because that's what evil does. And in the United States, we have so many distractions, the social media bubble that people create around their own lives, sports, whatever it may be, that we look away. Now, Charlie Kirk was an interesting fellow because at a very young age, he was mature enough to understand that he wanted to take a stand in favor of traditional America and Judeo Christian philosophy. He decided that he wanted to do that where, you know, when I was 31 or whatever, I was lucky I wasn't in the penitentiary. And I believe you were in the penitentiary. So he was light years ahead of us. Yes, and he put it into motion. All right. Now, most good people, even if you disagree with what Mr. Kirk says on occasion, you admire that. That's the spirit of America, that you have a belief system that you go out and try to promote that belief system for the greater good of the country. That's what it is. There's nothing else to it. That's what Charlie Kirk did, and he lost his life by doing it. So when you essentially break all of this down, you take the emotion away, all right, which I have to do in my job, you see it as another victory for evil, but it really isn't. And this is the ongoing story. This is the most important story. So when you read my book, Confronting Evil, you'll see that all of these heinous individuals, Putin's on a car cover, Mao, Hitler, Ayatollah Khomeini, and then there are 14 others inside the book. They all destroy themselves. The evil always destroys itself, but it takes so many people with it. So this shooter destroyed his own family. And Donald Trump, I talked to him about it last week at Yankee Stadium. Him and Trump is a much different guy than most people think. He destroyed his own mother and father and his two brothers. That's what this killer did, in addition to the Kirk family. So evil spreads. Now, if Americans pay attention and come to the conclusion that I just stated, it will be much more difficult for. For evil to operate openly. And that's what I think is going to happen. There's going to be a ferocious backlash against the progressive left in particular to stop it. And I believe that is what Mr. Kirk's legacy is going to be.
- [94:50]
Glenn Beck
I agree with you on all of these fronts. I wonder though, you know, it took three, or if you count JFK, four assassinations in the 60s to confront the evil, if you will, before people really woke up and said enough is enough. And then you got the big Jesus revolution after that. Is, I hate to say this, but is with as far gone as we are, is one assassination enough to wake people up?
- [95:23]
Bill O'Reilly
Up? Some people, some people are never going to wake up. They just don't want to live in the real world, Beck. And it's never been easier to do that with the social media and the phones and the computers. And you're never going to get them back, but you don't need them. So let's just be very realistic here in the Glenn Beck show. Let's run it down. The corporate media is finished in America. It's over. And you will see that play out in the next five years because the corporate media invested so much of its credibility into hating Donald Trump. And the hate is the key word. You'll find this interesting, Beck. For the first time in 10 years, I've been invited to do a major thing on CBS today. I'm gonna do it today with Major Garrett. Now, that only happened because Skydance bought CBS and Skydance understands the brand. CBS is over and they're, they're gonna have to rehabilitate the whole thing. NBC has not come to that conclusion yet, but it will have to. And ABC just does the weather. I mean, that's all I care about is there's a snowing in Montana, okay? The cables are all finished, even Fox. Once, once Trump leaves the stage, there's nowhere for FNC to go because they've invested so much in Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. So the fact of the matter is the corporate media is over in America. That takes a of the hands of the progressive movement because the progressive movement was dependent on the corporate media to advance its cause. That's going to end, Beck.
- [97:31]
Glenn Beck
Well, I would hope that you're right. Let me ask you about when have I been wrong?
- [97:36]
Bill O'Reilly
When have I been wrong? You've known me for 55 years. When have I been wrong?
- [97:43]
Glenn Beck
Okay, all right, all right, all right. We're not here to argue things like that. So tell me about Skydance, because isn't Skydance Chinese?
- [97:54]
Bill O'Reilly
No, it's Ellison, Larry Ellison, the second richest guy in the world. He owns lanai and Hawaii. The big tech guy and his son's running it.
- [98:07]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [98:07]
Bill O'Reilly
Okay.
- [98:08]
Glenn Beck
I thought Skydance. I thought that was you. Do you know them?
- [98:12]
Bill O'Reilly
Yeah, and they, they're not ideological, but they were as appalled as most of us who pay attention at the deterioration of the network presentations.
- [98:29]
Glenn Beck
I mean, so do you think that they could.
- [98:32]
Bill O'Reilly
60 Minutes used to be the gold standard and it just. Now, you know, I don't even watch anymore. You can't trust the word they say.
- [98:44]
Glenn Beck
I know. So do you think they can actually turn CBS around or is it just over?
- [98:49]
Bill O'Reilly
I don't know. It's very hard to predict because so many people now bail. I got a daughter, 26, and a son, 22. They never ever watch network television. And you got a bunch of kids too, right?
- [99:10]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah. They don't. They don't.
- [99:13]
Bill O'Reilly
They're not gonna watch the voice, the dancing with this, the juggling with that. And you know, I, I don't. I think they can do a much better job in their news presentations because. Yeah, what they did, all three networks, is banish people like Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly. Sane voices with huge followings. Huge. All right. We couldn't get on there. That's why Colbert got fired, because Colbert wouldn't refuse to put on any non progressive voice when they were talking about the country. Refused. I'm censoring it.
- [99:56]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, but it's not that he was fired because he wouldn't do that. He was fired because that led to horrible ratings. Horrible.
- [100:03]
Bill O'Reilly
Yes. It was his defiance. Fallon has terrible ratings and so does Kimmel. But Colbert was in your face F you to the people who were signing his paycheck. Look, evil can only exist if the mechanisms of power are behind it. That's when you read Confronting Evil. And I take them one by one. And Putin is the most important chapter by far. Because in my opinion, Putin would use nuclear weapons. He would. He's a psychopath. And on Thursday night, I got a call from the President's people saying, would you meet the President? Yankee stadium for the 911 game. And I know when a President calls and asks you to meet him, you meet him.
- [100:56]
Glenn Beck
Sure.
- [100:56]
Bill O'Reilly
Okay. Right.
- [100:57]
Glenn Beck
I'll be there.
- [100:59]
Bill O'Reilly
Sure. You know, it'll take me three days to get into Yankee Stadium from Long island, but I'll start now.
- [101:06]
Glenn Beck
Especially. Especially because the President's coming, but go ahead.
- [101:10]
Bill O'Reilly
Anyway, that was a very. I think that Mr. Trump values my opinion. And it was. We did talk about Putin and the change in Putin, and I had warned him that Putin had changed from the first administration where Trump controlled Putin to some extent. Now he's out of control because that's what always happens. It happened with Hitler. It happened with Mao. It happened with the ayatollah. It happened with Stalin right down, okay, they get worse and worse and worse, and then they blow up. And that's where Putin is. But he couldn't do any of that without the assent of the Russian people. They are allowing him to do this, to kill women and children, a million Russian casualties. For what?
- [102:06]
Liz Wheeler
For what?
- [102:08]
Bill O'Reilly
Okay, so that's why this book is just in the stratosphere now. It's taken off because people want to understand evil. Finally, finally, they're taking a hard look at it. And the Charlie Kirk assassination was an impetus to do that.
- [102:27]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And I think it's also an impetus to look at the good side. I mean, I think Charlie was just not a neutral character. He was a force for good and for God. And I think that that combination is almost the Martin Luther King combination, where you have a guy who is speaking up for civil rights, but then also speaking up for God and speaking truth scripturally. And I think that combination still, strangely, I wouldn't have predicted it, but strangely still works here in America. And I think it's changed everything. Bill, it's always good to talk to you. Thank you so much for being on. I appreciate it. It's Bill O'Reilly. The name of the book you don't want to miss is Confronting Evil. And he takes all of these really, really bad guys down one by one and shows you that what happens if you don't, don't do something about it. Confronting evil. Bill O'Reilly.

And because of those loopholes, they can still stamp product of the USA on the label. And it's deception. It's wrong. Plain and simple. Good Ranchers is the antidote. They sell 100% American meat.

Station ID. Welcome to the program. Welcome to Stupor Gear. I was reading, reading the Crisis number one last night from Thomas Paine. And that and the Gettysburg Address seem so apropos today. But listen to this. I mean, it is. You know, he's writing this around Christmas time, and he knows that everybody's abandoning the Declaration of Independence. Everybody's like, oh, you know what? I think we're going to lose this. I'm not for this anymore. And he writes, these are the times to try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country. Now think of that. I'm seeing the exact opposite. But it's usual and normal for people to shrink back. And they see trouble ahead, they shrink back. But he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered. Yet we have this consolation with us that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly. It's dearness only that gives everything its value. And heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods. And it would be strange indeed if such a celestial article as Freedom should not be highly rated. Towards the end, he says, you know, he outlines how bad things are, and he says, but I have hope. I have hope. I have hope because I know our situation and I know who we are. And I would go a little further in our situation. I have great hope. And not because I know our situation. I know our situation, and it's pretty dire, But I have hope because I know God. I know what God is capable of. And I'm telling you, we're seeing miracles on the ground right now. We're seeing them. You know, this. I don't even know. We have Tommy Robinson on tomorrow's program from London, and he just had that big rally up in London. I don't even know what's going on in England. But, my gosh, if they don't wake up soon. That is a failed state. But people are waking up and they're taking to the streets. And, you know, it's one thing for us to say, ah, you know, you can't, you don't have freedom of speech. Well, you kind of do. Charlie didn't. But far as the country right now, you do have freedom of speech. They're not going to round you up. They're not going to arrest you in England. That's not the case in if you're carrying literally an English flag, you go to jail. They're outlawing it. An English flag. It's insane. On what's happening, evil is sweeping, but people are waking up more in just a minute. This is Glenn Beck. You know, buying or selling a home isn't just some random transaction. It's a, it's a pretty big life event really. You're uprooting your family, you're moving your life, you're signing contracts that could make or break your future. And yet some people still pick a realtor based on, you know, face that they saw on a park bench or on a bus board or a billboard. Or better yet, well, I've got a cousin who's, oh, geez. I started a company called Real Estate Agents I Trust. It's a free service that will connect you with the top rated, most trustworthy realtors in your area. These are the vetted agents.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Today the vice president is going to be on. The Charlie Kirk show begins just a few minutes right after this program does. And, and then Wednesday I'm going to be Filling in for Charlie on his program. I don't know who they have tomorrow, Thursday or Friday, because they're not announcing them because of. I think they're letting everybody announce if they want to because of security reasons. But I'll be there Wednesday. And the president or vice president. It's going to be fascinating to hear the vice president do Charlie's talk show, but that happens today. Also, let me go to Skyla. She's in Utah and you have a suggestion for the people of Utah and uvu. What is it? Skyla?
- [110:47]
Liz Wheeler
Yes. Hi. Thank you for your voice, for all of us. I just want to say that I live near UVU and I've been to the campus this week several times. I have not seen anything regarding Charlie Kirk on the UVU marquee. I am hoping to change that by contacting you. I'm asking your listeners to contact UVU and demand Charlie Kirk's memorial be added to the UVU's marquee. I unfortunately don't have a phone number for UVU. They keep giving me the run around when I call them. Astrid Tuminez is the president of UVU and she is very liberal. She's trying to keep this far away from uvu and we need to stand up and make our voices known that she cannot hide. I also.
- [111:31]
Glenn Beck
Yes, no, go ahead, quickly.
- [111:34]
Liz Wheeler
There's also a petition on Change.org to rename the courtyard and add a statue of Charlie Kirk to UVU's courtyard. Utah Senator Daniel McKay also has a Givesend Go fundraiser to raise the money for the memorial. I plead with your listeners to sign the petition and get this done.
- [111:53]
Glenn Beck
Okay, thank you. I agree with. I agree with everything you said. And the. The university president is a coward. I believe she didn't say anything until she was forced to say something. A Friday afternoon. And you know UVU is going to be known as the place that killed Charlie Kirk. It's like Kent State. I mean, you think I'm going to go to Kent State? Oh, you mean wasn't that the place that there was the kids killed and everything back in the 60s? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's UVU. Congratulations. And by not standing up and not embracing Charlie Kirk and just trying to hide from this, you're making exactly the wrong decision. But I wouldn't expect less from a die hard progressive university president. Let me go to Liz Wheeler. Hi, Liz. How are you?
- [112:42]
Liz Wheeler
Hi, Glenn. You're my favorite. Glenn. Today. I can. I can sense this difference in you. When we spoke last week, we were both extremely emotional because our friend had been brutally assassinated. And I hear the fire, the righteous anger in you. And I feel so hopeful in the midst of grief today, Glenn, because this is our whole country. We're all rising up like a roaring lion, determined not just to post about this and talk about this, but to enact change, to make sure that our country is not captured by this evil anymore. And it gives us. Me so much hope.
- [113:15]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, me too. I mean, I. I have hope because I know God and I see what's happening. And this is a God movement. And you know, it's one thing if it was just about political change, but I think this is driving people to their knees and bringing people to God. And that's, that's the only way that all of this is going to be solved is if we, if we solve it through God. God. And I'm seeing some really, really positive signs. Liz, let me, let me talk to you about something that you wrote recently. I think it was on the Blaze. And you said, look, I don't understand the sympathy for Tyler Robinson's father. Yes, it's heartbreaking that his son is one of the worst people in the country he has ever known. I get that part. But let's be real. We're suffering a crisis in parenting in our country. You want to make this case?
- [114:08]
Liz Wheeler
Yeah, I do. And I want to first tell everyone that I say this with incredible love. I don't say this. I don't say this trying to pick a fight with anyone or to trigger anyone. I know the response online has been a lot of people have been saying, have been disagreeing with me, and that's okay. But I do encourage everyone to listen what I'm saying. We have a parenting crisis in our country. I mean, on Christmas Day 2013, Tyler Robinson's mother posted on her Facebook page. We just saw pictures of this because her Facebook page was public. Of What? He was 10 years old at the time, of her child, Tyler Robinson, deep in video games and gaming. And she made a joke about, now that he's got the gaming equipment that he likes, he can avoid us at all times. Well, you don't allow your 10 year old child to isolate himself from the family to game on the computer with full access to the big evil Internet and then expect us to say, oh, wow, you did everything right with him and he still turned out to be an evil murderer. It's not your fault. Well, we're so surprised. But the truth of the matter is, Glenn, and our country is ripe at this moment for accepting the truth. Parents are given A duty to shepherd their children's souls. And that doesn't mean just buying them food or buying them stuff or carpooling them to activities. It means forming their children's moral consciences and filling their minds with discernment of good and evil. And listen, my eldest is only four and a half years old and I already know this is no easy task. It requires constant presence. You can't outsource the formation of a child's moral conscience to someone that you pay. It requires tough decisions as a parent that might make you unpopular both with your children and with the culture at large. You have to live counterculturally. Your child might be the only one without a cell phone who has never even heard of TikTok. Or your child might be the oddball who goes to church every Sunday while his peers are, you know, watching porn or doom scrolling on Reddit. It certainly won't make you popular as a parent among your parental peers, because nothing sets other parents on the defensive more than when you tell your child no to something they permit. It means setting moral standards for your child, but also not just enforcing those, like a law enforcement officer, but teaching him or her long before enforcing those standards is necessary to make that right choice themselves. It means saying no to public school where the secular, anti Christian, anti American, morally relativistic, and honestly, often downright Marxist indoctrination begins. It means saying no to colleges that will indoctrinate him into a hardened communist revolutionary. It means saying no to video games and the Internet and cell phones and yes, even friends and peers who don't share his values, and instead teaching him that he must live with his eyes to eternity, that his life is not his own, that it's Christ. Glenn we have a parenting crisis in our country because parents think their children are boss. They pretend that their kids know more than they do so that they don't have to discipline, so that they don't have to acknowledge right and wrong themselves. Parents, especially my generation or one generation above, are godless themselves. And then they wonder why their children turn out captured by the demonic. So, yeah, Yes, I would not wish on my worst enemy the agony that Tyler Robinson's father must be feeling. But the time for truth is here. And the truth is, parents are the first blind guardians of their children's minds, bodies and souls. And parents like Tyler Robinson, they're not without blame for the way he turned out.
- [117:30]
Glenn Beck
Okay, so can I. Can I push back here with you? Because you know how much I respect you and I love you, Liz. So let's just have a good conversation here. How. What were your parents like? Were they good parents?
- [117:44]
Liz Wheeler
Excellent parents? So blessed by God they were present. They formed me morally. They were loving, sacrificial, the best people on earth.
- [117:53]
Glenn Beck
My dad was a workaholic and my mom was an alcoholic. And I. Honestly, Liz, I don't know how to be a dad. I have been faking it my whole life.
- [118:07]
Bill O'Reilly
Life.
- [118:07]
Glenn Beck
I have done my best, and I have fallen so short. And. And I think there's a lot of people like that. I don't know about Tyler's parents, but the other thing is 2013 was a different world entirely than it is now. I gave my son gaming stuff at 2013. Took it away from him a couple years later, you know, when we had the FBI at our house. House, you know, and I have seen the indoctrination of my children, and Tanya and I have fought for the souls of our children like crazy, like nobody's business. And both of us feel like we fell really, really short. I mean, we. We don't know what we could have done. And then there are other things. We're like, yeah, we could have done that. Why weren't we doing that? And. And honestly, a horrible excuse. We were tired and just. Just trying to keep our head above water with our kids so much of the time. I. I just wanted to talk to you because I agree with what you're saying, that we have a parenting crisis. I 100% agree with you. I agree with everything you said about being a parent. My first thought when I read your post today was you're a young parent, and you have no idea what is coming your way. You have more of an idea than I did in 2010, 2013, because you're now seeing it. But what our kids are going through you. And it's different again for you because you're a little younger. You can relate a little bit more to the culture that is going on. Tanya and I both looked at this culture and we were like, I don't even know. I don't even recognize any of it. There's nothing that I grew up with as a standard that I could go, oh, yeah, well, let's talk to the teacher. Well, let's talk to the principal. Let's do this, let's do that. Let's. You know what? Let's go get some counseling some place. None of them. None of them were talking common sense at all. At all. And so you only had the church. That's it. And, you know, you also have people telling you Your kids, your kids are going to commit suicide. If you don't do this, your kids are going to commit suicide. My kids, we didn't give them a phone until the school required them to have a phone. And I would have liked to gone. Gone to several, several private schools, but because we're from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, every school, every. Every Christian school but one turned us down. Every Christian school but one. And I know some of the good pastors that run some of these schools, and I went to them and I said, I'm not asking you to change your doctrine. I'm not asking you to make special, you know, dispensations. I want my kids to learn about your religion. I want it to challenge what they believe because they have to wouldn't accept our children because we were of a different faith and a faith that apparently was just too evil for everybody else. So, you know, I don't know what the situation is with parents, and I don't ever want to judge a parent. I feel horrible, just as I did when that, that shooter, the milkman, went with the Amish and shot up all of the children in the Amish community. That mom could have been the worst. That mom could have been the best, I don't know. But the Amish went and comforted her immediately because they said, you're suffering as well. I can't imagine, because, you know, you say what the father is doing, tearing himself apart. Imagine what the father is saying and the mother is saying about gaming today. The way they have got to be tearing themselves apart, going, I failed. I just don't feel comfortable dogpiling on that. I want to be the person that says to them, I feel for you. I really feel for you now. That doesn't mean I don't say as well to new parents. You have no idea what's coming. You batten down the hatches. You don't give your kids gaming, you don't give them phones, you don't give them an iPad. You're going to have to be with them all of the time. There is no such thing as the childhood that you grew up in. It doesn't exist anymore. I agree with that. Are we saying the same thing, just in different ways?
- [122:57]
Liz Wheeler
I think so, because I don't want my words to be misinterpreted in the sense that I am not feeling heartless towards these people. I literally wrote that I wouldn't wish the agony that I'm sure they're feeling on my worst enemy. I wouldn't Wish this evil on anyone. I can't imagine what that feels like. As a mother, I don't think that calling parents to a higher standard or encouraging them to open their eyes is an indictment or judgment on like looking down my nose at parent says large. I am a young parent. You're right. There are a lot of experiences I haven't had yet. As I said, my oldest daughter is not yet 5. I have no idea what it is like to have a 10 year old and a 15 year old and a 20 year old. And I fully acknowledge that. But what I do know is when there is brokenness and you are such a redemptive story, Glenn, you come from a family where there was incredible brokenness. One of the prayers I say over my children every day is for God to protect them from my brokenness and from my sin and from my mistakes. Because it doesn't matter if you came from a good family. It doesn't matter if you feel that your eyes are open. We are all fallen short of the glory of God and I'm no exception to that. So I don't mean to sound prideful or snobby either, but I do think that we need to not calibrate our expectations for parents to meet just the lowest common denominator. We need to call people to something higher. Because the fact of the matter is, even if you didn't know any better than to give your son gaming equipment, even if these parents can plead ignorance, we are in a culture now that has degraded the value of a mother and a father to just daycare workers. And that's not our role. Our role is to form the moral conscience of these children.
- [124:47]
Glenn Beck
Liz, I appreciate your, your point of view. I think we're saying much the same thing. I would just say leave the parents out of it. Let's look for the new parents to tell them because new parents are doing this every day and it's got to stop before your kid, you lose control of your kid. In this society, you got to do everything you can and then realize you might still lose your kid. Liz, thank you so much. God bless you. Always a fan and always great to have you on the program. You bet. Let me talk to you about Patriot Mobile. Well, you pay your cell phone bill every single month, but you have, have you ever stopped to ask where's all that money go? If you're using one of the big carriers, it might be funding causes you completely disagree with. Do you agree with abortion? Do you know that if you're with Verizon, you're funding abortion. You're they send money all the time to Planned Parenthood. Why would you do that? Are you for that? Of course you're not. So stop spend sending money to them. Patriot Mobile is different. They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider and they donate a portion of every dollar to organizations that fight for religious freedom, sanctity of life. The first responders are veterans. And the best part is the service is really good. It's excellent. It's on the same exact cell towers as the major carrier so you get the same exact nationwide coverage. 5G speeds US based customer service team that actually answers the phone and switching. Switching is easy. Keep your phone, keep your number or put both of them out and get something new. Now switching is easier than ever. Keep your phone number, your phone or upgrade.
