[Jason]

How dare you?

[Glenn Beck]

Because yesterday we found out never. Well, I found out this morning. Jcina, otherwise known as the man formerly known as Jason or the girl formerly known as a man, a marine, even yesterday found himself going for back alley. Botox went in New York. I was tricked. How were you tricked? How were you tricked?

[Jason]

I mean, let me, let me, let me set the stage.

[Glenn Beck]

I thought they were putting heroin in my face. How are you tricked?

[Producer Matt]

If you're watching on the Torch insider show or [e-mail] torch. It doesn't look like it's yet taken effect.

[Jason]

Nah, it's supposed to take like a week or two.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay. All right. Okay, okay, okay, Marine. Go ahead. Go ahead, Marine. Tell me how you got Botox.

[Jason]

I totally have. Well, so my wife has been exploring New York City. She's like, she's crazy. She's like a master at this point. She's. She looks like you actually walking through the streets.

[Glenn Beck]

What does that mean?

[Jason]

You know, you know, there's rules when you, when you walk the streets of New York City. Like, you can tell when someone doesn't belong there. Like when they don't walk all the way out into the lane, you know, and then just blow past the. Do not walk. You can tell who the tourists are.

[Glenn Beck]

Yesterday I got into a fight with a biker.

[Producer Matt]

I'm shocked.

[Glenn Beck]

I'm like, this biker just whizzes by now. Yes, he had the right of way. Yes, I was walking when I shouldn't have, but he was like, what the hell are you doing walking? And I'm like, I'm just going to the other side. I can't take it. I can't take it.

[Jason]

The bicyclists are now, they're like the worst than the cabbies were back in the like 70s.

[Glenn Beck]

It's crazy. Anyway, go ahead.

[Jason]

So anyway, she was supposed to go do a procedure for herself on Wednesday but she gave me this story, like, oh, honey, I. I got lost. I ended up on First Avenue, and it was like 20 blocks away. I'd really need your help to find my way. This was yesterday.

[Glenn Beck]

Wait, wait, wait. Okay, Your second man card is being revoked. You let your wife, who has not spent any time here. You were just gonna. You were gonna say to her, just go find yourself on first half. Just go find it your way. It's only about 20 blocks away. You just go ahead and walk down the street yourself.

[Jason]

Okay, okay.

[Glenn Beck]

For all these. Wow.

[Jason]

For all the Torch insiders.

[Glenn Beck]

Everybody.

[Jason]

Insiders.

[Glenn Beck]

The.

[Jason]

The guys. Are you married to a Latina? Instruct him. Latina. What to do or not to.

[Producer Matt]

She is her own woman.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, no, I know she is. I know she is. But it wrecks the. She has a cut mark, scars on my arms.

[Jason]

When I said, don't. Anyway, so she said, I need your help.

[Glenn Beck]

I'm not saying say don't. I'm saying, honey, I will go with you. I would never let. If Tanya was like, I don't. Tanya is a big girl. She knows how to. She lived here. She knows how to navigate. But if she was like, honey, I can't find it. I got to go walk. And I say, it's 20 blocks. I would say, let me. I'll just go with you. I'll just go with you. But. But go ahead. Go ahead. Tell me how you stormed those beaches yesterday, Andy. Tell me about it.

[Emma Morris]

So.

[Glenn Beck]

So.

[Jason]

So I walk. I do my man duty, and I'm walking her to this appointment.

[Glenn Beck]

Good for you.

[Jason]

We show up.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Jason]

And this is like a back alley door.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Jason]

I feel like it was like three feet wide. I'm having to go sideways into it. We go up this, like, this very ghetto stairwell, going upstairs to, like, the fifth floor.

[Glenn Beck]

This is when I say to my wife, we're not going in here.

[Jason]

I'm. Yeah, I'm thinking there's going to be a saw angle or something. Something weird going on. So we get in and there's this. It wasn't bad.

[Glenn Beck]

It was a.

[Jason]

It wasn't a bad place. But she. My wife checks in and she goes, yeah. So we have two Jason, Estella, Butrel, you know, four, three o'.

[Glenn Beck]

Clock.

[Jason]

And I was like, jason, excuse me. Like, I. Honey, I know I've told you time again. I'm not doing this. She's been saying my. My expression lines are getting out of control, which they kind of are. But I feel like that's just character. That's. That's my point of view for it. Wow. So I'm fighting her.

[Glenn Beck]

Would never say that. She's too busy saying, you look fat in that. But.

[Jason]

But she knows exactly how to get to me. She says, but we're going to lose, like, half the money that I had to put up for, you know, the. The appointment.

[Glenn Beck]

So then again, that's when a Marine says, looks like we lose that.

[Jason]

Looks like we lose money. Well, I. That's how cheap I am. She knew exactly how to nail me, so I ended up getting suckered into this.

[Producer Matt]

Okay, but what a story. You got it. But you need to talk about your reaction after and how you, like, just. You couldn't come out to Francis Tavern yesterday where George Washington gave his farewell address to the troops because you were in a fetal position.

[Glenn Beck]

Ricky, shut up.

[Roger Love]

Who's doing this interview?

[Glenn Beck]

Tell me that part of the story. You didn't go to one of the. Where he gave his farewell address to his troops. You didn't go because your face had a little owie right there under my eyes. Ow, ow, ow. It was like a little bug bite all over my face.

[Jason]

Tell me this is not a normal.

[Glenn Beck]

It's embarrassing. It was like. It was like. It was like mosquitoes making love to my eyes.

[Jason]

Okay. For one, maybe it was the trauma, because this surgeon that comes out, I'm expecting, I don't know, like, a little petite, you know, cute woman to do this and so.

[Glenn Beck]

Sure. Why are you stereotyping?

[Ken Paxton]

What?

[Jason]

Yeah, I'm not stereotyping. Maybe this is what I was hoping for.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, you know, so get the porn music. He was expecting some cute woman to go, would you like a happy ending with this?

[Jason]

And, oh, gosh.

[Producer Matt]

Oh.

[Jason]

So instead. Instead there's, I swear, like a six foot, six large woman who. Who speaks in a Russian accent.

[Glenn Beck]

Of course, you went to a chop

[Jason]

shop, but could it be. Anyway, she goes, excuse. I don't know what. I don't know what she said, but what I heard was, you know, sit in the chair and I will poke you for, like, four or five times. I'm like, oh, my gosh. I'm like, honey, is this going to hurt? And she goes, nah, you won't hear it. I asked the, you know, the Russian lady if this was going to hurt, and she just scowled at me.

[Glenn Beck]

I swear, she just like you and Rush and the Russian military somehow losing to you people. That's what she was thinking.

[Jason]

Well, I don't. I don't know if this is a normal reaction or not, but I. When I stood up, I got Lightheaded. I was like. I had. I was doubled over. I was sick to my stomach for the rest of the day. I mean, tell me, is. Is. Is this got to be a normal reaction, right?

[Producer Matt]

Women and some men that we know on television, on me. No, no, not Glenn. He. He's had surgery, but it didn't fix anything on his face.

[Glenn Beck]

Wait, you know, that wasn't part of the surgery I had to have. I couldn't remember. I couldn't see. They were like, you gotta cut your eyes open. I was like, grog. Hey, Adrian cut me. So they did that. But you keep looking at this. I have the weirdest, most Phantom of the Opera face ever. It's like a Frankenstein. You've got a facelift.

[Jason]

That's what it's called.

[Emma Morris]

It's called a facelift.

[Glenn Beck]

And you're getting me.

[Jason]

Can we redirect now?

[Chef IQ Representative]

Back.

[Producer Matt]

He got a facelift, but it didn't fix anything.

[Glenn Beck]

No, it did. I can see it wasn't supposed to fix.

[Jason]

Fix the way I look, and I'm taking the abuse. Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. Because you know what? I've. Oh, I've never had a man card. You can't take it from me. I've never. True.

[Producer Matt]

This is a man.

[Glenn Beck]

You're a Marine.

[Producer Matt]

This is a man who went to a Broadway show every night this week.

[Glenn Beck]

What?

[Emma Morris]

You.

[Glenn Beck]

What?

[Producer Matt]

You are correct because you went to a Broadway show literally every night this week.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes, I did. And I'm. I'm proud of it.

[Producer Matt]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

Proud of it.

[Producer Matt]

Okay, so, Jason, let's go back to you being in a fetal position because you couldn't take a few pokes on your face.

[Jason]

Well, I love how you redirected the Glen. I think we should just kind of sit in that bed for a while.

[Glenn Beck]

Wait a minute. We're cooking with gas now, baby. Everybody's like, of course. Of course, Glenn. Yeah, we got that. We got that. Not the Marine. Not the. What is it? The cupcake motorcycle group that you're in. What was the name of that thing?

[Jason]

I'm not telling you. Jack now.

[Glenn Beck]

It's like, we're the hot dogs. We're the cocktail weenies. He's got this biker jacket, this big bike, but on the back, it's like. I don't even remember what it is. It's like the Marine Cocktail Weenies. And he's like, yeah, I'm in the Cocktail Weenies. You're like, I don't think that's a good, tough name.

[Jason]

Oh, my gosh. There's a poll up now for the Insiders. You gotta be kidding me.

[Producer Matt]

Producer Matt for the win.

[Jason]

Fired.

[Producer Matt]

Okay, so you want to take this poll? What's. Let's read the poll.

[Jason]

Would Jason have had a botched botok experience if producer Matt was there to supervise?

[Glenn Beck]

No.

[Jason]

Producer Matt would have kept Jason's. What? Kept Jason safe or. Yes. For retribution for all the slaps.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, no, he would have. He would have been fired if he would have stopped you. This is. This is. This is comedy gold for Friday. We haven't had to do any work for 15 minutes.

Yes.

[Emma Morris]

Any.

[Glenn Beck]

Any information they may have on his tour of duty. I mean, has there been a Marine that gets Botox? Honestly?

[Jason]

Pretty sure Chesty Polar did do Botox at one point.

[Glenn Beck]

Can I ask you Botox? Cause he got it all over his face.

[Producer Matt]

I, you know, may have. I'm an older woman. I may have, over the years, had

[Glenn Beck]

a little, you know, raise your eyebrows.

[Producer Matt]

I can do it.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay, you can do it. Okay.

[Producer Matt]

It's relaxed, but he is like.

[Emma Morris]

But, you know, he's not going to

[Glenn Beck]

be able to smile.

[Producer Matt]

Jason.

[Glenn Beck]

I got it all the way down to, like, his. The, like down his cheekbone.

[Producer Matt]

Jason. You get it. And you go to work, you get it. You go to church, you get it. You go do your duties.

[Glenn Beck]

You couldn't say that. Don't say that. You don't know what.

[Producer Matt]

Because you got Botox. Like, I have had a lot of respect for you over the years.

[Emma Morris]

Overnight.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, overnight. There. Was it.

[Jason]

Was there anything? Because I think they did go quite further down because she had me, like, smile when I was lying in the chair.

[Glenn Beck]

You're going to be able to smile.

[Jason]

I. I have they paralyzed, you know,

[Glenn Beck]

[Glenn Beck]

No, nobody should buy that. Nobody should buy that. They might buy you were a distraction to my ugly face. Wow. Glenn is. That's hideous. How do you put that? Oh, my gosh, Jason. I mean, that maybe that, but I don't think anybody's buying that.

[Emma Morris]

Oh, man.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, thank you, Jason.

[Jason]

Yeah, you're welcome for that.

[Glenn Beck]

Glad you're not on my detail anymore. I was busy looking for through my Perth. For my gun.

[Jason]

What?

[Glenn Beck]

I couldn't help. All right. Let me tell you about rough greens. Caring about your dog's health and happiness is a pretty good sign that you're doing things right. I'm just thinking of the shame my wife is going to have for you, Tanya, when she finds out.

[Jason]

Tanya better not find out.

[Glenn Beck]

She's not saying you're lucky. You're lucky. Because I may forget by tomorrow. She's on her way. My dear friend Chuck Norris passed away and my son and my wife are on their way to his funeral today. And I feel horrible that I can't be there today because of our responsibilities here. But keep Gina and his family in your prayers today, if you will. Anyway, rough greens, your dog needs more than just kibble food because everything good is baked out of it. So you need a Jumpstart trial bag just to first see if your dog likes it. Your dog will love it.

[Jason]

It's.

[Glenn Beck]

I swear to you, I think they think it's crack. It's like, hey, cut some rough greens over here for you. They love it and they'll eat if you have a problem. Like I had a problem with Uno just eating. They won't have a problem because they love this stuff so much. And then you will see a difference in your dog. They will be more active. You'll see it. They just become more healthy. Rough greens.

[Producer Matt]

[Glenn Beck]

But you need you. He needs to be wearing, like, the Marine uniform, but with a skirt. And not like. Not like. Not like a manly kilt kind of thing. An actual skirt. That's what he need. That's what the Jacina doll needs.

[Jason]

Nicole is one of my. One of my friends. There's no way she will do. I'll look. It'll be a cool American.

[Glenn Beck]

[Producer Matt]

Day, by the way.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, I know. I'm so excited.

[Producer Matt]

We actually had to reschedule our shoot at Wall street and Federal hall locations in lower Manhattan. We were scheduled to do it today, but we learned that there were going to be Mayday protests down there, you know, fighting the band, fighting capitalism, standing around the bull and, you know, showing them we workers rights or something. Anyways, we rescheduled Glenn's shoot for our America 250 special on Wednesday to avoid these protests. But there's lots of students that are walking out today, you know, to really show the man how much they hate math or something.

[Glenn Beck]

How pissed would you be as a parent if you're. You send your kids to school to learn and they're taking the day and joining May Day resistance riots or. Or, you know, parades or whatever the hell you want to call them? I would be so angry. Be so angry. Wait, wait, wait. You would study about Mayday? You can learn about the history of Mayday. You're not going out and protesting with my kid.

[Jason]

What if you're a New York City parent, though, you're probably just.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, yeah, they're just probably completely fine with it. They're all insane.

[Jason]

I mean, we did that show, I think, was that. Remember the Black Lives Matter curriculum that was in. Was going around schools where they were just teaching grade schoolers how to be activists. Yeah, that was part of the curriculum.

[Nick Daly]

Yeah.

[Jason]

Yeah, people were.

[Glenn Beck]

That's what it's about. That's absolutely what it's about. But, you know, they're getting. I mean, it's getting so crazy and so left. You know who Charlemagne the God is? Yeah.

[Ken Paxton]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay. So Charlemagne the God. We're in the I Heart Studio here for premiere here in midtown Manhattan, and right probably on the other side of this wall or maybe a couple walls down.

[Producer Matt]

Big fans of this space. Big fans of this space. Love sharing it with him.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes. Okay. I don't know what that. Anyway, so he's right down the hall, and I want you to listen to what he said about the Trump assassination attempt this week. Listen to this. The Trump administration has caused so much pain to people's everyday lives that some folks are fed up and willing to risk it all. Simple as that. And if you're going to talk about anybody toning down violent political rhetoric, start with the president, Donald J. Trump.

[Ken Paxton]

Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

Can I ask you, and it is a sincere question, what. What the hell pain are people going. I mean, I understand economic pain that started under Biden. What pain are people going through right now? That you can go, yeah, I can see why they want to kill him. That's an honest question. What pain is being applied by this administration that makes you say, I want to kill him?

[Jason]

I can answer that easily, Glenn. You know, when the president weaponized the FBI and DOJ and went after grandmas, that was a big thing. And then made a huge speech with a red background, basically talking about how he was militarizing the government, specifically at normal people.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, wait, wait. That was Biden.

[Jason]

That was Biden. I guess we're forgetting that even might have been.

[Producer Matt]

Whenever Trump forced people to take the jab or lose their job, that's a big thing. That was probably it.

[Glenn Beck]

That's a. Oh, maybe it was when. When Trump got us, you know, and said, hey, I'm gonna end the war, and then just. And just left all of our stuff on the tarmac. That was people behind, had people throwing themselves from play. That was a lot of pain. Oh, no, wait, that was Biden, too.

[Jason]

Okay, okay. Maybe it was when he weaponized SISA to strip away the First Amendment and, and censor and put under surveillance ordinary Americans for questioning the election.

[Glenn Beck]

That was Biden as well.

[Jason]

Okay, I'm coming up empty.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, yeah. No, I mean this sincerely.

[Jason]

I don't know.

[Glenn Beck]

What is phone line wide open. 888-727-BCA. What is the pain that would make Charlemagne say that he has caused so much pain in people's everyday lives that some folks are fed up and willing to risk it all? I understand economic pain, but that's not Donald Trump. Now, you could say the gas price is okay. All right. But you're. You get a hike in gas over 60 days and you're ready to kill somebody over it. I mean, I think maybe you haven't. You have some issues. Yeah.

[Jason]

And even gas prices are still lower than they were back under then the Biden administration, or even to go back to Obama, they're still lower. I mean, it's elevated from where it was. Sure. But I mean, I don't know. I don't know.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't get it. I don't get it. All right. 8 8, 8, 727, Beck, triple 8, 727 back. It is Friday.

[Producer Matt]

you can watch Glenn's speech from Ellis island live and free. But if you want to live chat with other Torch insiders, you got to join the community today@glenn beck.com.

[Glenn Beck]

It's a glamback program. I want to bring Botox butrel in for just a second to just. Have we tweeted the American Girl dolls that the audience is. I'm working on it setting in.

[Producer Matt]

I had to let. Nick Daly and your fabulous producer of the American Story series is here now.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, is he really?

[Producer Matt]

Yeah, he's right behind you.

[Glenn Beck]

I want to talk, I want to bring you in. I want to talk about the 60 day thing. Yeah. Because we're 60 days now and that is the place where, you know, the president has to say to Congress, you know, we're going to continue on war, blah, blah, blah, and then have to vote for it. But that doesn't, that's not how we do it anymore. I remember when I was young and naive, we don't do that anymore. We haven't done that forever. I mean, Kosovo, Clinton did the same thing. Barack Obama did the same thing. Where were we going?

[Jason]

Libya.

[Glenn Beck]

Libya. You know, we came, we came, we conquered, he's dead or whatever. Hillary Clinton said so the 60 day thing, this is all just media hype. It doesn't mean anything. But don't worry between the media and the Democrats, we could still snatch defeat out of the mouth of victory. Because we're close. I think we're really close.

[Jason]

Yeah, I do too. And I think time is what we need. Cuz you've heard the President talk about it, you've heard Besant talk about it. What they need to do is continue to enforce the block aid, sit back and wait because the economic situation, Iran is crumbling. I mean this will do it kind of on autopilot. So I. But you will see multiple different things being argued on this because we've saw it just like Glenn said. We saw it in Kosovo, I believe then I can't remember what the rationale was then. I think, I think the, the Clinton administration tried to argue the word hostilities in the, in all of the verbiage.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, this is why we went, this is why we, we did the ceasefire. Right? Probably one of the.

[Jason]

Probably. Yeah, yeah, it definitely helps.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I want to bring in Nick Daly. He is. Nick is. How long we worked together? Since 2000.

[Nick Daly]

2000.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, 2000. Nick is the best audio producer, bar none in the country and has done such an amazing job with the American story. You haven't heard the American story yet. It is a series telling the American story. We start at the. I think we do. We started Columbus or the Pilgrims. I think Pilgrims.

[Ken Paxton]

Right?

[Glenn Beck]

Pilgrims, yeah, we started the Pilgrims and go through. I think we're almost 1900. It's a 20 episode series, two seasons where we've just released the first full season for Torch members. You get it commercial free and you get it in advance. And I think wherever you get your podcast to Saturday tomorrow you will get episode four. And this is the young George Washington going into battle. And nobody knows this story, nobody knows how he became this invincible guy. I'm gonna play a piece of it, but if you're happening, if you're listening now in mono on, on radio, imagine what this sounds like in stereo. And I mean the whole thing. You feel the bullets coming through you or by you. It's incredible effect. But here is a piece of episode four on Just the. The unbreakable, unkillable George Washington at 23 or 24 years old. Listen to this. French troops and their Indian allies, masters of guerrilla warfare, melt into the trees like phantoms, their shots tearing through the British ranks with ease. Washington squints through the SM trying to make sense of the scene Musket balls zip out of nowhere, bludgeoning men all around him. Officers are struck from their horses, limp bodies dragged across the forest floor, limbs still caught in stirrups. General Braddock waves his sword, growling at 30 men to scramble up a hillside. But in the blind haze of battle, some troops panic, mistaking their own men for foes, and turn their fire toward the hill. Some officers think the redcoats on the hill are deserters and open fire. Braddock's victim voice is overwhelmed by the din of war. British bullets mix with those from seemingly invisible enemies, slicing through the smoke with brutal efficiency. Within seconds, all 30 troops on the hill are dead. A bullet finds General Braddock, ripping through his arm and into his chest. He crumples to the ground, blood soaking his coat. Washington wheels around and dismounts, kneeling beside Braddock. Washington feels lightheaded, his own body severely depleted. He's in excruciating pain from weeks long battle with dysentery and he tries to make out Braddock's words. Then with swift determination, he swings back onto his horse. No time to register the pain coursing through him as he settles into the saddle. The air is still thick with smoke and bullets and Washington is a tall, easy target. He draws his sword, charging ahead into the maelstro. A bullet then rips through his coat, yet somehow fails to graze him. He is at home on horseback and there is a strange calm about him in this wicked battle storm. George Washington is now 23 years old. He's in a war that will reshape empires. A war that is also a forge, shaping him for the destiny he cannot imagine. It's an amazing series. It's based on the arc from the book the American Story by David Barton and Tim Barton and then written by Nathan Nipper, who is our best history guy on staff. He was a. Wasn't he a history teacher? Yeah, he was a history teacher.

[Jason]

Can I say, Glenn, how he described George Washington right there is exactly how I felt coming off that Botox.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I bet. Yeah.

[Jason]

No, no, he channeled.

[Glenn Beck]

You've done a great service to your nation here. And then it's produced by Nick Daly. Nick, how many tracks was that?

[Nick Daly]

Especially episode four was probably about 400 tracks.

[Glenn Beck]

400 different tracks. How long does it take you to produce this?

[Nick Daly]

It's about, I want to say, 20 hours for one episode.

[Glenn Beck]

Maybe they're 40 minutes, 45 minutes long.

[Producer Matt]

Very expensive. Please.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, that's why whenever I have an idea, everybody who is a manager in this company is all like, dear God, do you know what that's going to cost us? And I'm like, they're gonna come. They're gonna come. It's a great, it's gonna be great. Yeah. So please come.

[Nick Daly]

But where else can you learn history like that immersively and not fall asleep? Oh, I mean, every history class I ever took in school, I just fell asleep. I'm so boring.

[Glenn Beck]

That's one of the main comments that we get from people who are listening to it is like, if I would have had history like this, if it would have, I would, I would have known history. And every episode is like that. It is really good. So you're here because we've got Ellis island tomorrow. Yeah, yeah. And we're going to be on Ellis island doing a, a private event and fireworks over the statue. Did you see this? The, the newspapers in New Jersey.

[Nick Daly]

I heard you talking about it.

[Glenn Beck]

Newspapers in New Jersey are like, they're going to be some conservatives moms for liberty or whatever in one of the

[Nick Daly]

most noise polluted cities in the country. By the way, they're complaining about.

[Glenn Beck]

I know. They're complaining about fireworks. It's going to wake your babies. And your

[Producer Matt]

complaints was. Let me tell you who's to blame for it. Your mom. They literally made a. Your mom joke.

[Glenn Beck]

I know. I mean, it's, it's crazy. It's crazy. So you've been working with Roger Love?

[Nick Daly]

I have, yeah. For the last month.

[Glenn Beck]

And so, you know, he said, I want people that, you know, have never done this before and can't, you know, can't sing. And I, I get to hear them for the first time, you know, in about three and a half hours. Can. Can they sing?

[Nick Daly]

Well, I'll tell you, Chrissy, Chrissy really surprised me. The one who's singing the French song.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Nick Daly]

Because she does not play a little

[Glenn Beck]

Sarah in the back and she learned

[Nick Daly]

French for this song and it's the most expressive. It's so good.

[Glenn Beck]

It's such a great story too. The, the words, if you understand it in English, hopefully we're going to have them translated. You, you'll be able to watch this if you're a torch member. Just beck.com torch and you'll be able to watch it. You'll be able to watch it even if you're not a Torch member. Right. But you'll be able to participate, you know, in the. Yeah. In the live chat.

[Producer Matt]

The schedule is insane. You were like, hey, we should just, like, go do some other things today. I'm like, glenn, we don't have one spare second in today because we're filming the second episode of find your voice with the Torch with the singers who are singing live at Ellis island one last time.

[Glenn Beck]

[Glenn Beck]

[Ken Paxton]

Yeah.

[Nick Daly]

Or something.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, like Margaret Sanger.

[Producer Matt]

Okay. These sin sinners, should I call them sinners? Should I take out the G altogether? Just call them sinners?

[Glenn Beck]

No, no, no. They're singers. Singers. But the. The G is silent. The G. The G. There's. There's. It's not a consonant.

[Glenn Beck]

So this will be interesting. And I hear this. I don't want to get into it, but I hear there's Some tension.

[Nick Daly]

There's a. There's been a little bit of drama leading up. Yeah. Just with learning the parts and getting.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Nick Daly]

Taking advice.

[Producer Matt]

It's like her own version of American Idol meets, like, one of those MTV reality shows.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, you mean the movie star. You mean the movie stars. Yeah.

[Producer Matt]

Nick was at dinner with me last night at Francis Tavern, and he was like, jason's coming, right? I'm like, no. Jason is currently in a fetal position for some reason that I'll let him disclose tomorrow.

[Jason]

Oh, that's why everyone is fired.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. He couldn't go.

[Jason]

Everyone.

[Glenn Beck]

He got sick to his stomach. He was just like, I feel so paralyzed. I don't know what to do. I'd like to storm a beach, but I can't.

[Nick Daly]

I can't even raise my eyebrows.

[Jason]

Nick, you are my boy.

[Glenn Beck]

[Glenn Beck]

We've heard.

[Producer Matt]

I can't say who it is.

[Glenn Beck]

So I have a. I have a surprise for the President, and the President is not coming. And, and so I, I think I, I have to. I, I. And I don't want to give it away on what it is because he doesn't know anything about it.

[Producer Matt]

His family does.

[Glenn Beck]

His family does. His family does. I had a painting made for him, and I think when he sees the painting, I think he's going to become emotional. I do. And it is spectacular. Spectacular. And it revolves around Ellis island and a story most people don't know. And as I did my research on this, it is. It's incredible. It is Absolutely incredible. Somebody he was close to left for Ellis island on the anniversary is tomorrow when they left for Ellis island to become a citizen here. And, and when you hear the full story, it is the American story. It is, it's absolutely incredible. Absolutely incredible. You don't want to miss that. It'll be tomorrow. Don't miss it. You can go to glyph.com torch thanks, Nick. All right, let me tell you about the burner launcher. You're walking out of a whole totel late at night, rolling your bag towards, you know, where you parked. It's quiet. Quiet enough where you notice a guy standing off to the side, standing a little too still and watching you a little too closely and maybe it's nothing. But then he moves and when you shift your path, he does too. And your instincts are doing the talking. That's the moment you know you don't want to. You don't want the worst case solution. You want to control over the situation. So you bring up the burner one shot, everything changes because now you know, he's a little disoriented, backing off, you know the way you needed him to do it all along. You needed your space. You get in your car, you're gone. That's what a burner is built for. Real world moments where you need distance and control. A way out without escalating. Something that you can't take back. And it has a 60 foot range, non lethal, legal in all 50 states, no permit required. You're over 18, you can carry it. Burner offering a hundred dollars off on The Berna Le Gen 2. This is their small compact. It's really Burna.com Secure yours now while supplies last at Burna B R n a.com Glenn Beck.

[Chef IQ Representative]

Ah, well, if it isn't my favorite audience in the whole wide world. I want to talk to you about food. Food, it's very important. If you're cooking an important meal, like a big dinner or a holiday meal or anything where people are actually counting on you, you don't want to spend most of your time cooking. You want to don't want to spend most of the time checking or opening the oven or poking at whatever you're cooking or second guessing yourself or wondering if whatever you're cooking is done. Or worse, wondering if it's already overdone. And then yeah, but there's a lot of stress to this, isn't there? That's the part nobody enjoys. And that's exactly what Chef IQ gets rid of because it is a wireless smart. Thermometer tracks your food in real time and sends updates straight to your phone so you know exactly when it hits the perfect temperature without guessing or hovering or constantly checking. And it works everywhere. It works in the grill, the oven, even the air fryer. So whether you're making a, you know, steak or a roast or a full on holiday meal, you can actually step away and trust that it's handled. Which means of course, instead of standing there stressing about the food, you can actually spend time with the people you're cooking for now. Also, if you don't like those people, you can and probably just use the chef IQ and hide in another room anyway. If you want to make cooking a lot easier right now, they've got a Mother's Day sale. It is the perfect time to get one. Give mom something that she'll actually love and use long after Mother's Day. Chefiq.com use the promo code BLAZE for 30% off. Right now it's chefiq.com the promo code is Blaze.

[Jason]

This is easy to use.

[Chef IQ Representative]

You're going to love it. Chefiq.com the promo code is BLAZE.

[Glenn Beck]

Welcome to the Glenbeck program. We're glad you're here. There's a couple of things going on that, you know, I, I want to wrap this thing up from the week, you know, everybody was, you know, saying that you can't get Jimmy Kimmel for joke, blah, blah, blah. And you know, I don't want the government involved in any of this, but I just, I can't leave this on the table without hitting this. Cut number 11, please. Here's Jake Tapper. A year ago calling out Aaron Rodgers for a joke about violence. Listen to this. New York jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is facing intense and frankly, well deserved criticism over comments he made on ESPN's the Pat McAfee show in which Rogers made false allegations about accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and a popular late night comedian. A lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel

[Ken Paxton]

are really hoping that doesn't.

[Glenn Beck]

False, defamatory, wildly irresponsible and not funny. If Rogers was trying to be funny, this is child sex trafficking. I should note CNN has reached out to a representative for Rogers and one for ESPN and one for abc. They've all declined to comment. Frankly, just the latest example of Aaron Rodgers using his platform to spread misleading and false information. So. Pass it on. Crank the game. Glam back is on. Glam back is on. The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Glenn Beck is our hello America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Just A few years ago, you could say the biggest scandal in America had to be the Hunter laptop story. The Hunter Biden laptop story stands alone in American political history. Never seen anything like it. Now, I'm not sure that that is the biggest story of corruption in our country. I mean, now you can. Now it's competing with COVID It's competing with the Biden administration, trying to cipher speech, trying to silence conservatives. I mean, things that we never, ever would have thought possible. And yet everybody's treating it like the Hunter laptop story. They just don't either believe it or don't care. For some reason. They are huge. One of the women that she was instrumental in this, she was the one that got the first phone call on the Hunter Biden laptop. And she. I had dinner with her yesterday, and she was like, I didn't even know what they were talking. I mean, like, what do you mean? What do you mean you have his laptop? She thought it was insane. Finally went and saw it, and she's looking through and she's like, oh, dear God, this is insane. She. She's one of them that went through all of the documents. I mean, did you rock back and forth in a shower like a Lifetime movie where you're like, I can't get myself clean? Yeah, Emma. Emma Morris is joining us here. You have to hear this story, because this is truly history. We'll talk to her here in 60 seconds. First, as Christians, we're called to be the light of the world. Not just what we say, but in what we do. You know, we said never again. We said that we would never forget. Well, now would be the time that that matters. Have you forgotten? Is it time to say never again? Part of our calling is a responsibility to stand with and support the Jewish people. I don't care what you think about Israel. You can argue with Benjamin Netanyahu and their politics all you want in the war and everything else. Stand with the Jewish people. That's what this means in Israel. There are people right now that need light in a very real and practical way. Families who have been displaced, elderly men and women who can't get to safety on their own. People who are just trying to make it through another day. And this is where the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews steps in. And they're on the ground providing food and shelter and emergency care to people who don't have time to wait. Do this as an expression of that calling that we all have. Call right now. Be a part of this movement. 888488 IFCJ 888-488-IFCJ. That's the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews Online. IFCJ.org Emma Morris. Hi, Emma, how are you?

[Emma Morris]

Hello. Good morning. Thank you so much for having me. It's an honor.

[Glenn Beck]

So you were at the New York Post and you get a call, right?

[Emma Morris]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

And it had to be surreal. Tell me about the call that came in.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah. So thank you. First of all, thank you so much for having me. And, yeah, so it's. I'm. I think, like, the context matters, too. Like, I was 20. I was 27. I had been working there for, like six months or so.

[Glenn Beck]

Crazy.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah. I was certainly under qualified. I think I probably got hired because I was a conservative with a pulse in New York City. And they were like, I guess she knows what she's doing. Let's toss her the keys. And then all of a sudden, yeah, I get a call from Steve Bannon in September of 2020 saying, I have a story that's going to change your life. And I didn't know him, so this is, like, really random. And I say, okay, like, what? And he says, I'm Hunter Biden's computer. And I was obviously shocked by that. I didn't, like, fully believe it. I didn't know what to think. And they start to explain, you know, I didn't know Ben, and I was connected with him through a friend of mine who was working for him. And he starts, like, saying, like, you know, he's addicted to crack and, like, forgot it somewhere, and now we have it. And, you know, you're listening to this.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, it's. Every reaction that even I had when it first came out, I'm like, okay, this could be. This sounds insane. Sounds absolutely insane.

[Emma Morris]

Exactly, right? Yes, exactly. It sounds like a lie, you know, And I'm like, thinking to myself, like, can you just not get me fired? Like, whatever. Like, whatever. Like, you entering my life is, can it not end with me being fired? You know, it's like, so it's quite unbelievable. And I'm kind of. They start sending me documents, you know, to like. Like, I guess bait me into it, like, get me interested. And I'm like, what is this? Like, the documents were making me feel better.

[Glenn Beck]

It was like, how make you feel better about the truth of it?

[Emma Morris]

They were not making me feel better about the truth of it. I'm like, how, like, what is this, like, Photoshop, like, job that you did where you made these up? Like, I didn't believe it. The story just, to me felt too Crazy. And at what point did you go, you smell a rat? You smell a rat? Listen to your gut.

[Glenn Beck]

At what point do you say it is crazy? But crack addicts are crazy, right?

[Emma Morris]

Yeah. So that's it. So the way that I got in touch, that Steve Bannon got in touch with me was I had a friend who was working for him as a producer on War Room on his podcast, and this guy. So he came from kind of a rough background, and, I mean, maybe you can gather. I did not. And so I went to a few private schools growing up, and I had a very, very charming little thing going on. And, you know, so I'm like. I'm like, this is insane. I don't believe it. Who would act this way? And my friend calls me up and he goes, emma, you just come from too nice of a neighborhood for this. You never met any crackheads? Like, I've met crackheads, and, like, they forget things. Like, it's not unbelievable, you know? So I'm like, okay. Like, that actually makes sense. It's so, you know, simple that it has to make sense. I tend to, like, simple, true. Like, simple stories. They feel true. And. And he's like, just go see it. Just go see it. It's at Rudy's lawyer's house in Long Island. So. And he was like, if you're not interested after that, then, like, whatever, it's fine.

[Glenn Beck]

So this is at the time. Because I remember when it first came out, I. I love Rudy Giuliani. Yeah, but this was coming out at the time. Remember he did that awful press conference where he was sweating.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah, yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

It was just so bad.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

And he had damaged his credibility so much.

[Emma Morris]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

That you were like. Like, I like Rudy, but I don't. I don't know what I can trust. Were you there?

[Roger Love]

Yeah.

[Emma Morris]

Well, so the press conference that you're referring to was after the election. So this was.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Emma Morris]

A few months before, but obviously, same kind of vibe, you know, And. And listen, like, I. I mean, I see Rudy and still see and still do. Maybe more. So as a patriot, I do, too. And. And somebody who wants the best for this country and will fight for this country and will give up everything for this country, actually.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Emma Morris]

Which he has, and he's proven. But he's also Trump's lawyer. You know, he is an operative for the campaign as far as I'm concerned. Basically, so is Bannon, and I think he would probably say that himself. I don't think that that's controversial. And I am a conservative, obviously. I'm Very openly conservative. My last job before the post was Hannity. My job after the post was Breitbart. You know, but at the same time, my capacity as an editor is to relay the truth as closely as I can, not to campaign for Trump.

[Glenn Beck]

Trump.

[Emma Morris]

So as much as I like Trump and I wanted the story to be true, I was obviously skeptical of the source because I could agree with them. It doesn't mean that I could just put out whatever.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Emma Morris]

So that was my concern.

[Glenn Beck]

And I. You know, I would have. If that laptop would have come to me, the first thing I would have said to my staff is, run this down every possible way, because this falling, this much of a gift falling into our laps and then just be handed to us sounds like a way for the other side to shut us down and destroy all of our credibility.

[Emma Morris]

Oh, 100%. I mean, right now, I'm sitting in front of you, like, six years later, and I'm eight months pregnant. the time, I didn't look like this. I didn't sound like this. You know, I was 27. I wasn't married. I just, like, was in New York, like, in journalism, like, moving fast and breaking things.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Emma Morris]

And I obviously had it cross my mind, like. And I'm sure this is partly true. Again, I'm sure if you called up Bannon and asked him, what did you think of the profile of the person that you were offering this to? He would say, this is someone who's gonna run it. You know, it's like, just. I was interested in taking risks in a way that, you know, another editor wouldn't have been, or maybe I myself wouldn't have been today. And, you know, like I told you last night, you were like, how did you know that it was all real? And I was like, I don't think I can have a way to know that. You know, what I knew was what I was reporting was real, and that was enough. And that was enough for our editors, and that was enough. You know, I think

[Glenn Beck]

what you were reporting were things on the laptop are real. You weren't saying the laptop is 100% real.

[Emma Morris]

Well, this is like, how could I confirm something that has been through a chain of custody? What I can confirm is what I'm reporting the way that I did that was, you know, and we're fast forwarding through the story, but, you know, it's good to get to the end. You know, I had to go through this thing. It's, like, thousands of documents, and I had to find, first of all, what the Angle is, what's the story? I remember I called my boss, my editor in chief, Michelle Gotthelf, no longer at the Post, but legendary person. And I was like, I don't know how to make sense of all of this. It's like too much. Like, it's. It's too high volume. My brain is, like, glitching. Like, I don't know what to think.

[Glenn Beck]

Think.

[Emma Morris]

And she's like, well, listen, like, we know that Hunter Biden is a consultant. We know he's sketchy. She was like, that's been reported. She was like, joe Biden's the one running for president. Like, find me where Joe Biden comes into this, if he does. And that was when it clicked. It's like, oh, yeah, duh. Like, this is about Joe Biden. This isn't even about Hunter. Why do I even care about Hunter? And then I just started kind of going through it, and we found, you know, couldn't have been more than 10 documents that were relevant to that.

[Glenn Beck]

That.

[Emma Morris]

And then you go from having to verify a. A hard drive that has been through a chain of custody that you believe or don't believe. It doesn't matter. It's. Are these documents real? And the way that we were able to do that was very simple. You know, I talked about this when I testified in Congress about this story, which I guess the real scandal isn't even the story itself. Right.

[Glenn Beck]

But never is.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah, like, there was, like, people cc'd on all this stuff, so. And other people involved in all this stuff. So, you know, we had the contact lists in his phone book, which was also on the laptop. It was all part of that icloud or the hard drive. And we just called them and said, hey, it's New York Post. I'm gonna read you something. Can you tell me if it sounds familiar? And that's it. I mean, and then you had, like, you saw, you know, 24 hours after we published, Tony Bobulinski pops up. It's one of those people who's involved. Like, there are other people involved. It wasn't Hunter, you know, scurrying around the world himself. There was business partners, and some of those partners had either been burned, some of them had gone to jail. Some of them had realized that this is too much. Everyone was receptive.

[Glenn Beck]

I'm so glad you didn't select the porn part to go over, because when it first came out, that was an angle from some people. And the porn was shocking and horrible,

[Emma Morris]

of course, as it would be.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. But the real problem were These sweetheart deals and these backroom deals that you exactly.

[Emma Morris]

Like, we're the New York Post, you know, we're not like, you know, we're not pearl clutchers, you know, it's like, you're going to show me sex stuff. It's like, okay, like, like, whatever. Like, I want to see it, but like, I'm not, like, you know, scared. It's like, it's not a scandal to me. The scandal to me is Joe Biden and the business.

[Glenn Beck]

So what did you expect to happen?

[Emma Morris]

I expected, like, conservative media to, like, pick it up. I was like. So I was like, yeah. Like, I went through my social media. I was like, there's nothing weird. There's something wrong here. There's something weird here. You. This won't be a big deal. It'll end up getting picked up by Fox News or something. Breitbart. And that wasn't what happened at all. As it turned out, the CIA was upset.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I bet. A little upset. A little upset. So nobody did pick it up, at least for a long time. And then by that time, what did it mean?

[Emma Morris]

Well, I mean, I think that there was a bit of a Streisand effect, actually about it. Like, I think that if it would have been how I predicted, where just conservative media kind of talks about it, you know, you pick it up and talk about would have been like a conservative media echo chamber, conspiracy theory, Benghazi, whatever, you know, thing that the left just dismisses. But because Twitter. So what happened to refresh the audience's memory? I'm sure they are familiar with this, but. But what happened was we published at 5am by like 7am latest, it was completely blacklisted on Twitter. To the extent that we found out later. It was two hours. Yeah, two hours. Within two hours, it was classified as child porn internally. So if you, like, sent it in a private, like if I DM'd you privately, the link it would disable, as it would if you were sending something criminal. So we found out again later that the reason why it was so immediate and so severe was because the FBI was briefing Twitter executives on a story that might publish around the election about Hunter and what to do in that circumstance. Because it's disinformation, we promise.

[Glenn Beck]

And that is because they had it.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah, they had it. The FBI had the laptop.

[Glenn Beck]

How long did they have it?

[Emma Morris]

Months. They had it from before the first impeachment, which was in January, before COVID They know I was publishing September after Covid.

[Glenn Beck]

More on this story here in just a Second, where Emma Morris. She's the one who got the laptop, the Hunter Biden laptop. Fascinating story. Let me tell you about our sponsor. It's realestate agentsitrust.com. this is my company. You know what, what are the things you wish you knew then that you maybe know now? If it comes to real estate, I know a lot that I wish I would have known then that I now know. And I know it because I started doing some work with the 500 Best Real Estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal. And I wanted to know what, what does that mean? How. What do you all have in common? Are there certain traits, certain things that you do? And there, there are. There's lots of. So we started going out and looking for more people that have those traits and have those habits. What we found was pretty shocking. They all are successful. They all. When you have these certain things that you do, you become a successful real estate agent for your clients. So we started recommending them. And I don't charge you anything for this. It's just a recommendation. But I want you just to interview them. If you're looking to buy or sell a house, now is. People will tell you not a great time. It is for realestate agents. I trust.com. these people are getting houses sold even in this tough market, and they're helping people buy at a great price. It's realestate agentsitrust.com realestate agentsitrust.com 10 seconds. Station ID. Coming on. So this is the other thing that we have to remember when they said, what was the date you guys published?

[Emma Morris]

October 14, 2020.

[Glenn Beck]

So you were a couple of weeks away. We were a couple of weeks away from the election. People we know now that people said if they would have known about that, it would have changed their vote.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah, polling shows that.

[Glenn Beck]

So. So the FBI was being nothing but a political organ.

[Emma Morris]

100%.

[Glenn Beck]

And that goes to me. I mean, that was what I thought made this the biggest political story in our nation's history. It was so deep and widespread, and it showed our president was making money with his family from countries that honestly we deem as enemies.

[Emma Morris]

Yes, 100% China.

[Glenn Beck]

Right. And yet still nothing has happened.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah, well, the one pardon that wasn't auto penned was hunters.

[Glenn Beck]

So what do we do with this now? Where does this sit in history?

[Emma Morris]

Yeah, I mean, I really, you know, I got. And people still kind of bring this up and laugh about how. How snide I was and how kind of like dismissive I was when I testified to Congress about, you know, overreach by the government in. In our political process. It was the subcommittee on whatever government. Yeah, exactly. Government. I'm pretending to care.

[Ken Paxton]

And.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, and I'm start calling all of the committees that.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah, I'm pretending to the committee on.

[Glenn Beck]

I'm pretending to care.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah, exactly, exactly. And. And so that's how I treated it. And I had contempt for the process because I'm like, you're parading me out here like a prop. This was something that was horrific. It was not only a scandal, but a violation of the most sacred right. That, by the way, isn't up to the government. It's up to God that is given to us. You know, and you desecrated. That right has been desecrated. And now I'm being brought out here so that you can go and tweet out clips of it.

[Glenn Beck]

It.

[Emma Morris]

But, you know, so, you know, that was my attitude about it, and that was how I felt. And lo and behold, I was right. Nothing had been done about it. But the thing that I came there to really stress and talk about and bring awareness to is aside from the fact that the government was, like, briefing these executives on, quote, unquote, national security issues or something, these companies are also staffed by spies. And that is something that I think is worth looking at and perhaps legislating about.

[Glenn Beck]

Can you go through that?

[Emma Morris]

So something that we found in the Twitter files that were released by Elon Musk when he bought Twitter, AKA X, which, by the way, was catalyzed by this event, was that there were huge groups of former feds that were now working in big tech. And I had looked into this a lot. I was fascinated by this. This one we found out about it. And, you know, it makes sense. It's not, you know, something sinister necessarily, at the outset. It's like, you work in the intelligence community, you have all these skills that you learn from the US Government, then you can get paid way more if you bring those skills to Silicon Valley. And so that's what a lot of these guys do. But it creates, you know, it become who you hire is what you become.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Emma Morris]

So, you know, they load up their companies. Like, there was a Slack channel called like, BU Alum or something, and it was Bureau, and it's just all FBI. It's like working at Twitter. And so, you know, when actually there was an FBI lawyer who was Twitter's senior counsel. So the FBI comes in and is like, hey, we want to open the hood on your company. And then you Go to your lawyer, of course, is the first move you make. And your lawyer is the FBI too.

[Glenn Beck]

It's amazing. It's really remarkable.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah, that needs to be illegal.

[Glenn Beck]

I have a letter from President Johnson. He's responding to somebody say we need to have a high tech area. And he said don't. In the letter it says don't worry, the CIA and the federal government are working on it. We call it Silicon Valley and it's the beginning of Silicon Valley. It's remarkable when you see that and you're like, oh, wait, the CIA is involved? Yeah, from the very beginning.

[Emma Morris]

Right. Makes total sense.

[Glenn Beck]

More in just a second. Hold on. I want to talk a little bit about Mom, Donnie and socialism today on Mayday next. It's incredibly important to be on the right side of history or at least to the extent that you can be. And that means many times that you're taking a stand against the things that you feel are wrong. And of course there are a lot of different ways to do that. Some of them come against great personal cost. But not every stand has to cost. In fact, the case of switching to Patriot Mobile is going to do exact the opposite. The Patriot Mobile service, the choice is really clear. You get the same reliable service at a lower cost and none of your money will go to leftist causes. They operate on all three major networks. You can keep the plan that you have, but it's more affordable and you can make it easy to bring your phone or get a new one, keep your number or get a new one so you end up with reliable coverage and a company you can actually feel good about supporting every single month and saving money.

Hands rough hearts thin as thread.

[Glenn Beck]

Leaving names carved into doorways and prayers

[Emma Morris]

they never said the ocean wasn't just

[Glenn Beck]

water it was goodbye made white and cold I promise that whatever wa. As we celebrate America's 250th birthday. I wrote these lyrics eight months ago and tomorrow they're going to be performed at Ellis island. And it is the story of America and coming here for not the golden streets but the opportunity just to be in an open sky without Everybody telling you you can't do it. You're gonna run into those people. But in Europe and around the rest of the world, you're told you can't do it because you don't have the right breeding, you don't have the right father, you don't have the right lineage, you don't have the right schooling in America. That's what was different. It never told you you can't do it because of who you are. Even though in every generation there become these arrogant. I mean, de Tocqueville talked about it. In Democracy for America, there will be these people that get up into power and they'll try to kick the door behind them closed so nobody else can go through. That happens in every generation. That's when you say, you close that door. I'm gonna go find. I'll find a window. I'll find another way to make it. Join us tomorrow from Ellis island. We begin at 7, 7pm Eastern. And you'll be able to see [e-mail] torch. You'll be able to see it even if you're not a Torch member, but you'll be able to participate in it if you are a Torch member. But watch it with your family. It is Ellis island like you've never seen it before. And the truth about America and what we should be expecting from immigrants. What, what that. What does it mean to come here? You're not coming here as a Frenchman and staying a Frenchman. The idea is you come here to be an American. It's the only country where you can come here as something else and become it. I can live in England the rest of my life, but I'm never going to be an Englishman. I will always in that country. I will always be an American in this country. You can come from Somalia and if you play by the rules, you do the right thing and you want to adapt and you want to make America better and bigger and you gain along with it. You're an American. You're not a Somalian anymore. We have. We have somebody who broke. You just heard the the Hunter laptop story. We have Emma Morris with us. She broke that. She was with the Post for a long time. And you can follow her. And at emmajo NYC on X. But we were just sitting here talking about New York City and Mamdani and how this happened.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Who voted for him? How did this happen?

[Emma Morris]

I know. I mean, you were talking about your Ellis island event and I'm like, yep, it's so true, so relevant. Who voted for him? Yeah. I was just saying over the break. So it's third world immigrants and yuppies, millennial yuppies, who didn't get the life that they were promised when they took out six figures of debt to go to university. And they never got their high paying job or at least a lifestyle that they thought would correspond with that job in corporate. They never got their marriage, they never got their two kids, they never got their car. And they're really resentful and they think that because they didn't get that stuff that they have to tear apart Park Avenue and tear apart Fifth Avenue because those people have it.

[Glenn Beck]

What does that do you?

[Emma Morris]

Good question. It's like catharsis.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, I just don't understand. First of all, who promised you anything? You know, that's a university lying to you. Maybe it's your parents actually believing, but that's not the way it was. Except for their generation. One generation had that and all of a sudden that's just the way it is. It's not.

[Emma Morris]

Well, exactly. That's exactly. That's it. I do have sympathy for the fact that it's hard. It is hard.

[Glenn Beck]

It is hard.

[Emma Morris]

And I understand because I also had this, this transition, I guess out of disillusionment or into disillusionment. Where I was born in the 90s, early 90s and whatever. My sisters were brought up in the 80s and you could have single income and houses were totally affordable. You buy a house and then you have your children and schools are super affordable and accessible. The country's really safe. You trust your community. You can go outside alone at 7 years old and nobody is worried about you. And, and there's like a certain, like lifestyle, a certain culture that you grow up in and you just assume that it's gonna be the same for you. And then as it turns out, you come up after the financial crash, you come up after mass migration, you come up after 9, 11 and Covid. Exactly. And the world, tech, the world isn't the same. There's been these obviously massive changes in the culture and in society from the time that our parents were bringing us up to the time that we're coming up up. And you can do one of two things. Once you realize that, you can insist that you don't realize it and then become angrier and angrier and angrier as you exert effort into nothingness. Or you can adapt. And I think that the Mamdani voters are the former and the latter are the people who want to hustle.

[Glenn Beck]

See, that is the difference in America, it has always been hustle.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah. Like, it's hard. Like. Yeah, it's hard. Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

Really hard. When people came over here, the ones who got disillusions were the ones who thought that the streets were paved in gold. They weren't. It's really hard. I just saw the Broadway show Ragtime this weekend, this week. Have you seen it?

[Emma Morris]

No.

[Glenn Beck]

It's the best. It's the best revival. It's really good. But it tells a story of an immigrant that is coming in. One of the sub stories is this immigrant comes in, and he comes from Latvia, and he's telling his child on the ship coming over, his streets are paved with gold and we're gonna make it. And then he gets here and he realizes how hard it is, and he starts to turn on capitalism and America. And then he finds the thing. He finds the one thing that he can do that nobody else can do, and it hits for him.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

You know what I mean? And that's. That's the thing. You can't just skate here. You can't.

[Emma Morris]

That's it. I mean, you can. And you're not gonna live a glamorous life and you're gonna, you know, kind of scrape by, and that's. You get what you put in, you know, but that's. That's what's great about America is that it abides by the laws of physics. You get what you put in.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, it's. I never understood the Frank Sinatra song New York, New York, where he says, you know, you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. I never understood it until I started doing television here. And I realized there were a thousand people, literally a thousand people right behind me that would stab me to death.

[Emma Morris]

100%.

[Glenn Beck]

Stab me to death for that job.

[Emma Morris]

100%.

[Glenn Beck]

And it's that when you understand that, oh, man, this is all competitive. This is. You are either all in or you're not going to last a day.

[Emma Morris]

Exactly.

[Glenn Beck]

That's New York.

[Emma Morris]

Yes, 100%. That's right. And listen, like, it's not for everyone. And, like, maybe that's part of the Mom Donnie voter, you know, profile too, is that they're not really cut out for it and they just want to be here because the restaurants are, like, really good.

[Glenn Beck]

Right, right.

[Emma Morris]

But it's not really for you. And that's okay, too. But again, like, the reaction to that is probably to find, like, a city that's a little more, like, you know, slower pace, that's a little less, like, intense, perhaps a little less machiavellian. And, you know, go live there. Don't try burn the city into down to size. That fits you.

[Glenn Beck]

So tell me what happens. What happens here? You know, my son was just at the new J.P. morgan Chase building, which is incredible. Incredible. He told me about it. We were invited to go see it. And I said, son, you just. You go and tell me about it. He went. He said in the. Have you been in there yet?

[Emma Morris]

No, I haven't. I walk past it all the time. I have a client nearby.

[Glenn Beck]

So inside the building, there is a flagpole, a giant flag pole with an American flag in the center of the building that actually flutters sideways in the wind.

[Chef IQ Representative]

Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

They've created this whole thing to where it's constantly waving in the flagpole in the center and these incredible restaurants and everything. Well, that's J.P. morgan Chase. I mean, you know, that's what that is. Now Mamdani is saying things like, you know, we don't want him.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah, that's it. Like, it's so sad because that building is a monument to exceptionalism.

[Glenn Beck]

It is.

[Emma Morris]

You know, that's what that is.

[Glenn Beck]

And you may not like him. You may not like, you may have a problem with him, with the bank or whatever, but what are you going to do without it?

[Emma Morris]

Well, even that. It's like, that's so. Like, that's so crazy. Like, that's so resentful. Like, that's nuts. Like, you know, if you're. If you're feeling that way, I presume you have a lot of debt. And it's like, do you want to have debt with the bank, or do you want to have debt with not the bank? Because I guarantee you it's the bank that you want to have your debt with.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, that's true. But, you know, I think the resentment comes from. The resentment comes from watching. If I'm your age, you know, I saw nine, 11 happened, whole thing changed. Then, you know, seven years later, the banks get bailed out. Mom and dad don't get bailed out. Then Covid happens. They don't get bailed out. Home Depot gets bailed out, but mom and dad don't. Banks keep getting bigger. You can see how that plays on people.

[Emma Morris]

Sure. Yes, of course. Yes, of course. And listen, I understand, obviously, I deeply understand the populist sentiment. I'm just really skeptical of the reaction to the feeling to be like, let's break everything in our path, because I don't think that's the move. I don't think that that's. And in fact, you Know, getting back to the Mamdani conversation and the socialism conversation, I think that is the reaction, you know, that is they are the natural reaction to the feeling that you're talking about. And it's a base impulse. It's not the right reaction. That is, you know, people ask me a lot. What do you, you know, what do you think he's looking for? Because, you know, isn't he concerned that, like, the rich are just going to leave? You know, like, he. He posted this ridiculous video on tax day. I don't know if you saw it, of him filming himself outside Ken Griffin's house, the CEO of Citadel, and saying, like, ha, ha. Like, we're gonna punish Ken Griffin with taxes. And it's just a really antagonistic video. And Ken Griffin obviously didn't appreciate it. And people. And Ken is in the middle of building a $6 billion project here, and people were like, isn't he concerned about Ken Griffin just pulling out? And. And the rich just leaving? What is he gonna do then? And it's like, no. Yeah, that's the point. They don't, like, they're hostile. They are hostile. This isn't, I don't think, very political. It's much more emotional.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, you know, what's amazing is in Chicago, the same thing is happening. I'm trying to remember who's the big guy. And he's the number one philanthropist in Chicago. He moves to Florida.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah. What kind? Girlfriend did that, too, in Chicago. Moved to Florida. His primary residence is in Florida.

[Ken Paxton]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

And so moved to Florida and now Chicago. The soup kitchens, you know, the homeless shelters, everything else are like, where's the donation? Why is he not giving? He's always given to his city. Because it's not his city anymore.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah, exactly.

[Glenn Beck]

You chased him out. That's what happened.

[Emma Morris]

Yeah. Bullied him out. Well, it's like, exactly like. It's like, why do I want to fund the revolution?

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Emma Morris]

I'm good. This seems scary, actually. Why do I have, like, a bunch of menacing millennials trying to burn my apartment down?

[Glenn Beck]

So what happens? What happens here?

[Emma Morris]

Yeah, like, that's the thing. It's like. I mean, I think about that a lot. Like, it's not like this is Cuba, you know, where you have to, like, build a raft to leave. Like, you can just leave. I mean, you can either move to Greenwich, Connecticut, or you can move to Palm beach or Texas. I mean, it's really easy. And I know JP Morgan is having people clamoring to work out of, you know, their Texas offices and their Miami offices. I think that perhaps there's this will to accelerate, to accelerate the revolution, to accelerate the change. And where that goes, I mean, nowhere good, because you can't control the movement of the people who need to fund the revolution. So it turns into a third world culture. It turns into how. Yeah. I don't know if you've ever been to Cuba. I have because I'm from Canada. So we were allowed to go there growing up, and I went like twice or three times. And, you know, Cuba is interesting, and I think that it's a great symbol for this movement and this ideology because you look kind of like into the. Into buildings, into a distance, and they're beautiful. And you can see that they were built with, like, craftsmanship and they're old and. And, you know, a lot of work was put into them and a lot of care was put into them. And then you get closer to them and they're decaying, they're dilapidated, the paint is peeling, they're rusting. Nothing has been kept. And they're just relics of the past. They're relics of a success of the past that has been killed. And now they're just decaying in front of your face.

[Glenn Beck]

This is the Glenn Beck Program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Well, there's some good news and bad news. The good news in Texas or sorry, the Bad news in Texas is that a judge has just said that Texas has to approve the paperwork for the big Muslim community, Epic City. It's now called, called the Meadow. Oh, is it okay now? I feel so much better. But it is an Islamic community and the governor and Ken Paxton have been saying, no, not, not here, not here. And he has sued them and said he stopped everything. They sued back yesterday. This judge came in and said, nope, the state has to go through with the paperwork, etc. Etc. There's some breaking news on this. He just came out and issued another one because they suspended. They suspended his suspension, right? This is so, so court riddled. He says, no, no, no, you're. You can't suspend it until this whole thing has been heard. You. You can't have the state fund this stuff yet because they're under investigation. Now, when I say under investigation, he's doing investigation. But one of the guys he's running against, John Cornyn, he requested a DOJ investigation into Epic City in April and he was all for it. And then that investigation was dropped in June. So, yeah, Cornyn, you're getting a job done in the typical way John. John Cornyn does. Our Attorney General, Ken Paxton is here to tell us the whole story and what it means here in just a second. His first interview since this court ruling. First, let me tell you about Lifelock. The day you walk out of your car and realize, you know, that some helpful fellow is walking through the neighborhood, has ransacked it looking for cash is probably the day you never, you know, you learn, never leave your car unlocked again. If that hasn't happened to you yet, maybe this is the day that you'll learn it. Hopefully not your security from people that you know you want it from people who take, you know, more. Take your security even more seriously than you do at times. I want you to check out because you don't. You're not going to see all the things that are obviously wrong, but especially when it comes to your identity, your bank accounts, your personal information, it can all be accessed without you ever knowing it's happening. Happening. This is why I like LifeLock. They monitor for signs that your information is being used in ways it shouldn't be and they contact you. I've been contacted by him a couple of times only.

[Ken Paxton]

Great. Primary is just about over. Run up. It's just about over me.

[Glenn Beck]

Whoop. You're breaking up.

[Ken Paxton]

People get to.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, geez. Can you find a better place? Can you find a better place? Stop moving. Can somebody take him off the air? Sarah. And see if you can find a better place for him to. To be so we don't. We don't lose him in the mid. In the middle of this. He is. He's running for Cornyn's job. And remember, he said, if Cornyn would push through the SAVE Act, I'll drop out. Out. I'll drop out. And Cornyn scores. Like, I want to do that. You bet I'll do that. He didn't do that. He didn't do that. We're still looking at the SAVE Act. Nobody's doing anything about it. And like I said, with Cornyn and, you know, his whole. You know, I'm gonna look. I'm gonna look into this Epic City thing until people stop paying attention to it, and then we're gonna drop it. That's exactly what Cornyn does. He's there now. Ken, are you there? We have a better connection. Yes.

[Ken Paxton]

Yeah. Better.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes, Better. Okay.

[Ken Paxton]

Okay, Good.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. So. So. So tell me, what is. Tell me. Tell me first on what's happening with this Epic City thing. The Meadows.

[Ken Paxton]

Yeah. So this. This group, whatever they call themselves, they actually call themselves Community Cattle, initially known as Epic City, a Muslim development, actually, in my county, next door, close to where you used to live in Collin. And they sued Texas Workforce Commission, saying that they were. That the Workforce Commission had agreed to certain terms and that they no longer were. EPIC was no longer committing any violations of fair housing laws. Unfortunately for epic, more complaints were filed, and the workforce Commission found more violations. And then HUD started investigating, and they're now reviewing this whole Epic City situation. And then, of course, we. You know how it is in Austin, Texas. We have a liberal Judge Amy Clark Meacham comes in and says, no, no, no. You. You have to go forward with this agreement despite these violations, you have to allow them EPIC to proceed with their. With their development. So we appealed, which you were discussing the little intricacies of the legal world. Our appeals. Stops for injunction until that appeal is resolved.

[Glenn Beck]

So good thing is it's a 15th Circuit Court. What are the violations that you see?

[Ken Paxton]

So the violations are actually determined by the workforce Commission, and the initial violations supposedly were worked out. But the problem is there. There have been new complaints, and I don't know what the new complaints are. I just know that people have filed complaints with the Texas Workforce Commission. They're now investigating those complaints, and HUD's also investigating. So neither the Texas workforce. The Texas Workforce Commission does not want to go forward with this agreement when there are other violations outstanding that have not been resolved by epic.

[Glenn Beck]

So, Ken, for people who don't know, I mean, there's a lot of people in Texas, they don't understand that the entire culture of Texas is being lost and that Texas is a major target of an Islamist movement. I mean, this is how you have no go zones in cities all over the world. Explain this to somebody who's really not paying attention to what. What your. Your problem is or what people are fearing this is.

[Jason]

Actually.

[Ken Paxton]

Yeah, I think it's interesting because it seems like it's been over. You know, it started out kind of slowly. Now there are more and more of these developments that are exclusively Muslim. And supposedly Sharia law governs well. You know, obviously people have the right to worship how they want to, but they do not have the right to have their own laws. And one of the reasons we sued EPIC separately from this workforce Commission issue is we felt like they were violating our state and federal securities laws. And we think there are other issues involved with how they structure the transaction that are legal. And we certainly think that they violated fair housing laws, which are not really ours to enforce the federal ones anyway. But, you know, if you live in our country, you have to follow our state, state and federal laws, and you have to follow our Constitution. You can't develop your own little community and then decide that you're going to determine your own laws that are separate and apart from the laws of the nation. And that was happening.

[Glenn Beck]

Why are they. Why. Why are they so intent on. On building a Muslim community this size, especially in. In Texas? How many developments are there there? And why is Texas such a big target?

[Ken Paxton]

Well, look, I mean, I don't know, but I mean, you can only surmise that this is a pretty important state, that if it doesn't stay strong, if it doesn't stay really conservative, if it doesn't stay as a Republican state, the country overall is going to be harmed by that. And potentially, you know, we may not ever elect another Republican Congress or another Republican president again. And of course that affects the Supreme Court. So all branches of government that are controlled by one party, which I think is the ultimate goal here. The ultimate goal, whether, you know, through these developments or just generally the progressive movement in this country is to have a one party system where the elections are rigged. But they don't. No one says they're rigged. They just are rigged through mail in ballots and illegal voting and you know, no photo id, all the things that we're trying to do with the Save America act. And it looks like we're having fair elections. Ultimately what the Democrats want and the progressives want is they want a one party country where most of the elections are rigged, but they never say they're rigged and they control the government through, you know, a few people. That's what they want.

[Glenn Beck]

And it is the Red Green alliance. You know, if you look at, I was just on with Piers Morgan. I'm going over to Tommy Robinson's rally here in a couple of weeks over in, in England. And you know, this is what's happening to England and all over the, all over Europe and it's becoming a real problem. And I was talking to Piers Morgan and he just said, well there's, there's not a real problem problem here. It's, you know, why, why does everybody keep single singling out the Muslims? I don't think anybody's singling out Muslims. You're singling out Islamists. 48% in a recent poll in Europe, 48% of those immigrants say they want Sharia law in Europe, that that's their goal, is to have Sharia law. You're running and I'm going to be encouraging every single person to ask their politician of this and if they answer the wrong way, way, don't vote for them. Don't vote for them. Ken doesn't know what I'm about to ask him, but I think it's going to be pretty easy. Will you support a nationwide ban on Sharia law?

[Ken Paxton]

Absolutely. It's inconsistent with our constitution. It's inconsistent with most of our federal and state laws. And there's no way we can have a dual operating legal system in our country and sustain that. We will crumble and we will have serious issues like Europe is having. I mean, the foreshadowing is already happening in Europe. Right. We already know that. We already know how this plays out. So if we're not diligent in Texas and we're not diligent our country, we will lose our country. We will not have our constitutional freedoms that, this, that our founders put in place.

[Glenn Beck]

I was at the 911 memorial, the museum here in Manhattan this week, I think it was on Monday. Went in and walking through it, the thoughts of everything that this country is going through right now and what we're debating or not debating because, you know, you're forced into silence is remarkable. That that was 25 years ago. And here we are.

[Ken Paxton]

Yep. And, and the fact that we haven't maybe learned our lessons from, from that incident, you know, it's a problem. And that, you know, look, I've spoken to, to Muslim leaders in Texas and I've said to them, you've got, you cannot expect us, the rest of this state, to allow you to push Sharia law and, or even to be in a position where you won't speak out against terrorism when it happens from your, you know, your, whatever your religion, you need to speak out against it and let us know that you're with us and that you don't support, support terrorist actions in our country and you guys don't speak out when it happens. Enough.

[Glenn Beck]

Ken, tell me about the race.

[Ken Paxton]

The race is going well. You know, we've got early voting starts May 18th through the 22nd. We've got five days of early voting and the day after Memorial Weekend. So it's going to be a low turnout vote. However, my opponent spent $100 million in the first round to lie to them, to the Texas people, to convince him that he's pro Trump and he's pro border wall, that he's not, you know, amnesty guy, which is all fucking false. He's an open borders, you know, anti Trump guy, and he's running, spent, you know, $100 million to tell people that he's, he's good and I'm bad and that I'm, I've adopted his positions, which is crazy. You know, some. I'm for LGBT funding, I'm for the transgender movement. You know, I let child predators off, you know, easy. I mean, just crazy. No, I'm not kidding. Look at his commercials. 100. He has spent $100 million trying to convince people that those things about me. And it's ludicrous. And the things that he is saying about him are ludicrous. But look, this is a guy that has no record. You cannot find anything that he's accomplished good in 40 years. You look, Glenn, nothing good in 40 years. But he has money from D.C. that he's taken from Republicans to tell them, to convince Republicans here that, you know, he, all of these things about him are not true. And Then he's, he's been a great. He's been doing a great job. He's awful.

[Glenn Beck]

How the polling. How's the polling look?

[Ken Paxton]

So the pulley's good, but I don't want to rely on it. Like, my polling is really good, like double digits. But I don't trust polling until. Because all that matters is what. Whether people vote turn out.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Ken Paxton]

Yeah. If I, if I tell people on my head, I don't want them to be overconfident. Not. But I need people to vote. I need them to take their friends, they need to take their family because no poll means anything until they actually deliver and show up and vote. And that's what I need. I need boats.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. Ken, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thanks for being on.

[Ken Paxton]

Thanks, Glenn.

[Glenn Beck]

He was known as this guy who was just absolutely invincible. This is his first battle. He's serving with the British, and I think he's a colonel, and he is there when the general dies. Everybody dies. It's just chaos. The Indians scalp everybody, kill everybody. George Washington is the only officer that leaves the field. And he comes back and tells his story and it becomes a big national story. And that's how people knew the British colonel, George Washington when he was in his 20s. They learned how invincible this guy was and how brave he was. This is the beginning of the story of George Washington that you've probably never heard.

If you're a torchmaster, [e-mail] torch glennbeck.com torch Ricky. Jason, before we get to the bottom of the hour, what else do we have to cover here in the next few?

[Producer Matt]

We need to talk about the fact that you are, for some reason, going to march with Tommy Robinson in London while there is a major security terrorist threat in the UK thanks to Islamists. You know, Islamists don't exist according to.

[Emma Morris]

To.

[Glenn Beck]

It's their highest. That's all it is, just their highest security alert. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.

[Producer Matt]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

But luckily my wife is on a plane going to attend Chuck Norris's funeral today, and my son is standing in for me because I couldn't make it. So she's not listening to this broadcast, and we don't tell her those things. Okay. We have good security and we're going, right, Jason? We have great security.

[Jason]

Great security. The interesting thing about the. I was just going to talk about that in the Insider segment coming up, they, they elevated it to severe after the most recent terror attack, and they are classifying it as a terror attack. But one of the reasons why they're upgrading it to severe. From CBS News, officials cited the increasing threat of Islamist and extreme white ring terrorism in the country.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, my God.

[Producer Matt]

Why, why was the guy who killed the Jews, was he a Tommy Robinson support?

[Glenn Beck]

You know, I was. When I did, when I did my event, I was called into the prime minister's office that morning and he said, this is no longer your event. And I said, what do you mean? He said, this is now an Israeli military operation because there were three suicide vests that were out that they were tracking, they couldn't find, and they were all targeting my event. And so I've been, you know, I've been through it before, and we live through it. And whatever God wants, God will do.

[Producer Matt]

It's a good thing. You are just, just a tiny man with, you know, very nondescript features and you don't stand out in a crowd at all.

[Glenn Beck]

George Washington had six white stallions shot out from underneath him in the, in the episode that airs, he, you will hear he had bullets go through his coat but didn't graze him. If God wants somebody to be alive, God will have it alive. We just have to do what we're supposed to do. We're supposed to take our own security measures to make sure we're as safe as we can be. But you know what? I could get hit by a bus here in, well, a bus driven by a Communist here in New York City this weekend.

[Producer Matt]

I'm still on the fence if I'm going to be filming your speech or not. I haven't decided.

[Glenn Beck]

What does that mean?

[Producer Matt]

Because I haven't put my will in order.

[Glenn Beck]

That is one thing my wife said Monday. We're meeting, meeting with, with attorneys to make sure our will is in order. And she was like, we're not going until your will is in order. And I'm like, wait, honey, it's real. It's okay. She's like, you're not leaving here until your will is in order. And I'm like, okay, all right.

[Jason]

You never know. You could get stabbed in the face by a Russian lady with Botox against your will.

[Glenn Beck]

And that happens, that happens to Marines or people who say they're Marines. Reads. All right, More in just a second. Stand by. It's Friday. Let me tell you about Relief Factor. Somewhere along the way, we started living, you know, our lives in chairs and Sitting to work, sitting to drive, sitting to eat, sitting to relax until, you know, it became so normal that we stopped noticing our body started to get fatter and started to feel stiff and tight and, you know, a little bit like we were, you know, rusting in place. Oh, we built a world that runs on screens and deadlines where our minds are constantly moving, but our bodies are not. And over time, that lack of movement is catching up with us in the forms of aches and joint pain and inflammation. You know, the dust doesn't seem to go away. Relief factor is there. It's a daily supplement. It fights inflammation that causes so much of our pain. And here's what stands out. Over a million people have really gone and tried it. Didn't know what it was going to do. Two thirds of them, including me, have gone on to order more. I take it every day. Relief Factor as we celebrate 250 years of freedom. Ask yourself, are you living with the freedom that you deserve from pain? Try the three week course quick start today. See how it works for you.

[Producer Matt]

Moms for Liberty is bringing fireworks to Ellis island tomorrow after Glenn's speech. And local media is losing it. Watch it all live for free at 7pm eastern@glenn beck.com torch.

[Ken Paxton]

Sa.

[Glenn Beck]

This is a song that I wrote to, to put people in the mindset people don't understand. The Statue of Liberty was not just a gift to us. It was to convince the Parisians not to go down the road of Marxism. And the same thing with George Washington crossing the Delaware. That was done by a German artist. It wasn't made for us, it was made for them. And they knew that America had the answer. And so they decided to build this statue and give it as a gift to America. They just dumped it off at our shore in pieces. And they're like, good luck with that. And we built, built it. But this was, this was built at a time the world was going through exactly what we're going through right now. And there's a choice, individual liberty or collective liberty. And so when they gave it to us, I thought, we are going to be broadcasting from Ellis island and we're going to do America's 250th birthday fireworks tomorrow over the Statue of Liberty after the event. And this song is going to be sung and I wanted it to come from a woman from France who is, who knows what it means, what America meant to the world. And now that her children, us are asleep, she's begging mother of exiles wake you, your children, remind them who they are, and it's gonna be sung tomorrow by somebody who has never, if I'm not mistaken, never really performed before in public. Roger Love is with us. He is a vocal coach. Coach that has coached some of the greatest voices in the world. In fact, you just last night were with Jon Bon Jovi and his group putting together his big Madison Square Garden.

[Roger Love]

Yes, Jon and the band. Bon Jovi returns to glory starting July 7th at Madison Square Garden. And this is his comeback.

[Glenn Beck]

And he's had a real problem with his. Medically. With his throat, right?

[Roger Love]

Yeah, there was a whole documentary about it. So I think the public understands that he had a really intense surgery for his vocal cords and the muscles around his vocal cords. So he's been working. He's been working very, very hard, and I can't wait to. To shine him on New York.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, it'll be great. It'll be great. So I remember Roger talking to you a couple of months ago and playing the music, and they're not easy pieces. And I said the least. We could hire some people, but I wanted to give the audience a chance. Some people who. Because that's what America is all about. Somebody who has wanted to have an opportunity to give him this opportunity, but it's daunting. Except for one, I think nobody has sung professionally. Nobody has ever done this before. And let's start with that song. The woman who is singing that song doesn't speak French. She learned how to speak French for this song, so she knows what the words are. Are. How'd she do? I haven't heard them. I'm going to hear them in about 40 minutes for the first time.

[Roger Love]

She did great. I was as shocked as you were that she didn't speak French because it sounded like she knew it. So real. And then when we got into it, she was putting diphthongs. She was saying liberty. And then you knew it wasn't French. You knew it was more southern French.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, it was southern, yeah. Very south of France.

[Roger Love]

Very south. And. But she did a great job, and she. She had that. The most positive attitude all the way through.

[Glenn Beck]

So let me. Let me ask you, the two others, they sing another song. Play a little bit of that one, Sarah, as we're talking. The other song is about immigrants and why immigrants have come here the whole time. Another hard song. And the two people that were selected, one, the person that the. The audience voted for, one of them who didn't sing it in rehearsal or sing it in audition anywhere, the way it was written. And the woman who sang it was also coming down an octave in some parts and not singing at those. And I thought, well, Roger asked for a challenge. So where are they now? After working with you, where are they?

[Roger Love]

Sometimes when you give the audience what they want, it's not what the song needs. So I had to take and merge those two desires. And he couldn't sing the high notes, and she couldn't sing the high notes. So my.

[Glenn Beck]

But they were both good singers.

[Roger Love]

Yeah, they both have lovely voices. But I. I. As a voice coach, I'm used to facing people that have problems and they want to sing hi, but they can't. And I teach them how to do that. They want to sing low, and they can't. I teach them how to do it. So I went into, let's fix it. Let's build the instrument mode. And it was a very small window, so I've built it. So does the piano have all the keys that a Bosendorf piano has?

[Glenn Beck]

So have we rewritten it somewhat to fit this? Okay. And my biggest concern is I know what it's like to stand in front of cameras. I remember the first time I had to give a speech, a major speech. It was in 2001, maybe. And all these important people were there. And I actually asked the driver to pull over to the side of the road. It was like my. My wife held my hair almost as I vomited on the side of the street. I was so nervous about it. Now I can do it, and it doesn't bother me at all, the confidence. They've never sung like this before. They've never. They're going to be. They're going to be very famous people in the audience. It's going to be carried live on television and on internationally on tour. How are you going to work on their confidence to keep them? Because I know you build confidence, but they've got to walk out knowing they're going to hit it. You concerned about? Because that would be the only thing that would concern me. If you say, I built the voice, I've got it. They have it. The only thing that will stop them is the confidence that they can do it.

[Roger Love]

You know the legendary story of Bruce Springsteen, who was always backstage, and some, like other artists who feel like they want to throw up like you did. I hate performing, and I feel nauseous. I'm gonna throw up. But Bruce Springsteen waited until he was gonna really throw up, and then he was like, I'm ready to be the Boss. He Knew that that was his trigger. So he was that sick. It was his body telling him that he was gonna do incredible things. So it's gonna happen. It's going to be beautiful. I'm going to slash, tickle slash torture them at rehearsal today.

[Glenn Beck]

Because then tomorrow they rehearse today at like noon or 12:15, right after this.

[Jason]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

And then they rehearse tonight at 8 o' clock on Ellis Island.

[Chef IQ Representative]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

And then they're gonna rehearse with you tomorrow.

[Roger Love]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

And then live tomorrow night.

[Roger Love]

Yes. So I've created children in less time.

[Glenn Beck]

You did. Your wife didn't, but you did.

[Roger Love]

Yeah, I did. Maybe that's not bragging. And I would like to go on for the rest of my life as a successful voice coach. So my reputation is totally on the line. So with today and tomorrow to have with them, my feeling is that I'll raise the bar. They'll make people cry or laugh.

[Glenn Beck]

They will. You know, if they hit it out. This is what I really wanted. My dream was to not only have that song, because these two songs are so emotional and so beautiful, just so beautiful. To be able to have those songs sung, but then to have them sung, and that's the singer's dream, is to be able to do that. That just. That alone, if they hit it, just that alone will make everybody cry. It will make me cry because it's like they're living. That's. That's the American dream right there. That's the American dream.

[Roger Love]

To that end, the songs are so beautiful. We didn't change the melody. And it's just the one song, the duet that we're talking about. We didn't change the melody. Somebody's taking the melody. Sometimes it's the girl, sometimes it's the guy. But I think if you get in your head when you're there and these people are, you know, don't think of them as singers. Think of them as immigrants and they've walked onto Ellis island and you're going to get the voice of a semi immigrant acclimating to this new world. And both of these singers are sort of an immigrant to the parts of the Voice that they didn't have before. And if you think of it like, hey, they just came from another place.

[Glenn Beck]

And the woman who is doing the French, she never sung in French before and she's never performed other than to her kids. Right.

[Roger Love]

She's a mom and the kids want candy while she's singing.

[Glenn Beck]

No. That was so funny. She was the audition where the kids were, like, talking to her and she like giving him candy and stuff and just doing whatever she could do just to keep them at bay while she was auditioning. It was really fun.

[Roger Love]

They wouldn't give her three minutes to audition in peace.

[Glenn Beck]

I know. It's amazing. Amazing. So, Roger, good to see you.

[Roger Love]

Lovely to see you.

[Glenn Beck]

And we'll see you tomorrow night.

[Roger Love]

I'll be there. Fingers crossed. Entos.

[Glenn Beck]

Thank you very much.

Okay. And by the way, we are taping today. We're filming part of this. We've been filming the whole time. Time for another episode of find your voice. If you haven't seen find your voice, you're not a Torch member yet. Is it up on YouTube yet? No. Okay. But you can see it at. I mean, you. You keep writing me Joaquin Philip Phoenix just saw this and he thought it was great, blah, blah, blah. I hope you don't mind I said that.

I mean, you will just feel great after watching it. It is one of the. One of the shows that when Roger and I were talking and I. He told me some of the things he could do and wanted to do, and I said, I'm building a something called Torch. That's what I want. I want those incredible moments where people are like, oh, my gosh, how great is that? How great is that? Where you just see the best of human beings and what they can accomplish

[Roger Love]

in a world where most people hate the sound of their own voice. We're showing that you could take your voice and turn it into a beautiful instrument, singing and speaking and change your life.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. The first episode was about a guy who has. Who stutters and he was friendless. I mean, it was so sad.

[Jason]

He was.

[Glenn Beck]

What is he, in his 30s?

[Roger Love]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. And like, didn't have a relationship, had very few friends, had started to discount, connect. And all of the. Just what you taught him just changed his world. And at the end, he is so. He's so full of light and joy. It's incredible. Anyway, find it@glenn beck.com torch that's where you also be able to see the broadcast tomorrow and participate with it. Otherwise, you just go to glenn beck.com event and it's tomorrow night. We go live at 7pm Eastern. You don't want to miss. Miss it. Okay. Our Sponsor is preborn. One of the most powerful moments on earth is when a young woman hears her baby's heartbeat for the first time. She may be scared, she may feel completely alone, but in that instant, something changes. It's no longer an idea or a possibility. It's real. Preborn clinics all around the country, they see that moment happen every single day where a woman walks in unsure, very alone and overwhelmed. She feels like, I don't know what to do. And probably everybody in her life has said, you know, take care of this. And most women don't want to, but they feel completely alone. So two things have to happen. You have to show them that it is real. It's a baby. And that's what happens with the ultrasound. And then you have to show them that we're not going away. We'll be there for the first two years of life. We can help you with clothing, we can help you with anything you need. Food, education, anything that you need. That is taking care of the baby and the mother. You're saving two people at once. It is such a great thing. $28 provides one ultrasound. 140 sponsors five ultrasounds for moms in crisis. Every dollar helps save babies and moms. Donate. Dial pound 250 say the keyword baby pound 250 keyword baby or go to preborn.com beck that's preborn.com beck sponsored by preborn. You're gonna have to hold that thought, my friend. Friend. We got a schedule to keep back. We'll be back. I want to go over something about what is happening today. It's May Day and there are mayday protests all over the country. Remember, May Day is a communist day and it's a revolutionary day. And so these revolutionaries are coming and they are funded, get this funded with $2 billion in resources. Do you know, maybe there was $10 million, maybe $10 million total for the, all of the Tea Party things and it was all raised, you know, little by little, $20 bills. Everything else, it was true grassroots. This is $2 billion. And it's just for the mayday. How many, how many things are they putting on today?

[Jason]

So it's 600 groups with a combined revenue of 2 billion. Okay, so not just so I don't know how much they're, they're put towards

[Glenn Beck]

those specific 600 groups.

[Jason]

600 groups. 3,000 mayday protests over the country. 3,000. And DSA chapters, groups funded by the China based tycoon Nevilloy Singham.

[Glenn Beck]

How is this still happening? I don't know, how is this still happening? I mean, this is. They're trying to overthrow the United States of America. They are doing political. This is political organizing with a foreign power. How is that legal? Why is this not coming undone?

[Jason]

I mean, you look for any kind of action whatsoever from our DOJ or wherever else could we start? Well, there's multiple places to start. Could we just get something on some of the foreign funding that's pouring out

[Producer Matt]

into the streets to care about foreign interference? Russia, Russia, Russia.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, but nobody says China, China, China. You know, I was talking to somebody the other day and they brought up, you know, the President's going to China. China, you know, can do all kinds of stuff to make the President sick, but not sick while he's in China. I mean, I don't know. I mean, China is not friendly to us. They are and they are an enemy of ours. Pray for the President. Pray for the President. Because that, that's a scary possibility. Not saying it's going to happen, but it just scary also.
