It's a new day. I turn around.
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment. Entertainment and enlightenment. Enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Hello, America. I have some very, have some very sad news for you today.
It involves media matters.
Looks like they're having to lay people off and they may go under. And I'm gonna try really hard not just to burst out in tears as we tell you that story in 60 seconds. And I can hardly wait. In fact, realestateagentsitrust.com is our sponsor. I own the dump.
I pay for the commercials. And for me, let me just say this. Realestateagentsitrust.com comma, go there, get a great real estate agent. You want to sell your house fast, top dollar. Great. Do it right now. Okay. End of commercial. Let's go.
I know the owner and he's not going to complain because he, too.
Oh, that's me. Is so excited to hear. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Is so sorry to hear that there is trouble in media matters land.
So sorry to hear it. Stu, can you please break the news to us?
Stu
This is a devastating day for all of us. It is, I would say, media. Now, if you don't know what media matters is, this does probably deserve an alert cause. Most people probably don't, but they're an organization that attempts to take conservatives out of context and hurt their businesses.
Glenn Beck
Basically, they were started by George Soros and Hillary Clinton. And who was the third one.
Stu
Anyway? I can't think of his name. Another, he was a, I can't think of his name. But he was a guy who was conservative at one point and then turned into a liberal and was, you know, very clintonite.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And then just turned into a monster.
I'm just saying, you know, I hate to speak ill of evil people, but I'm going to. I'm going to. So anyway, it's a sad story. Go ahead.
Stu
Media matters for America laid off over a dozen staffers on Thursday as former employees took. Took to act to announce they were out of a job.
Katherine Abu something or other, also known as cat Abu.
Again, I'm not familiar with this particular person, and I would not want to.
Glenn Beck
Cat Abu is out of a job.
Stu
Cat Abu out of a job.
Glenn Beck
Oh, that's sad.
Stu
And I'm gonna say they, cuz I just don't know.
Glenn Beck
But they most likely cat Abu is a they or them.
Stu
I'd say that odds or hi, I don't know anything.
Glenn Beck
Maybe she's a cat. He's a cat. We don't know.
Stu
I mean, there's an NBA player cat, Carl Anthony Towns. Could be. Could be a man. Could be. I have no idea.
Glenn Beck
Well, but out of work, they say.
Stu
Yeah, bad news. I've been laid off from media matters along with the dozen colleagues.
There's a reason far right billionaires attack media matters with armies of lawyers. They know how effective our work is, and it terrifies them. Parentheses him.
Right.
Glenn Beck
Either that or that billionaire knows that you're lying and has the money to take you to court to put you out of business. Yeah, it could be that one.
Stu
It's interesting because I think we have to allow, whenever you're talking about media matters as an organization, you have to allow for the most likely explanation that they're just lying.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Stu
Like, this has nothing to do with the Elon Musk lawsuit. You have to allow for this possibility. Hold on.
Glenn Beck
Let me just open it up to the phones. Anyone who can tell me a time when you read anything from media matters or media matters were quoted where it was true. Go ahead, speaker one. Yeah, call us up now.
Stu
Lines are lighting. Wide. Open line. Sure.
Glenn Beck
Okay.
Stu
But so we have to allow for that possibility that just, you know, again, they're just business is failing and they're just laying people off. But it also very well could be the Elon Musk thing, which makes me love him more than it really does.
I'm up and down on Musk. Some of the stuff he does, I like. Some of it I'm like, eh, I'm not such a huge fan of. But it's just satisfying that today that this is going on.
Glenn Beck
One of my favorite people in the world, maybe even quite honestly, the known universe.
I'm gonna go that far.
Stu
Now, this cat Abu appeared to be referring to Elon Musk, who filed a defamation suit against the progressive media watchdog last November over a report claiming that major corporate ads on x were being shown alongside white nationalist content. Again, it was just another one of their typical fraudulent, nonsensical reports, in my opinion.
Glenn Beck
What is she going to do? What is she going to do besides lick milk out of a bowl? What is she going to do? Gosh darn it.
Stu
Media matters president Angelo Carusone sent back to.
Glenn Beck
Oh, I know. I love him. You know who he is?
Stu
I'm sure he's great.
Glenn Beck
I'm sure he's wondering, oh, you don't remember him?
Stu
I do not.
Glenn Beck
He was nothing but a blogger who did everything he could to take me down. And then they made him the president of media matters.
Stu
Makes perfect sense, right?
Glenn Beck
Yeah, no, I know. Of course it does. Of course it does.
Stu
He has a quote here about how, you know, it's a meritless attack. He also released a statement regarding the layoff saying, we're confronting a legal assault on multiple fronts. And given how rapidly the media landscape is shifting, we need to be extremely intentional about how we allocate our resources in order to stay effective, which is an interesting framing. Nobody does what media matters does. Now. I mean, a lot of people do it.
You know, I will say a lot of people do it. They usually, at least they used to just take the media matters reports and report them in the mainstream media, which is why they consider themselves effective, let alone that they're just a giant scam to take money away from left wing rich people.
Glenn Beck
Now, is. Do you feel good about dancing on these people's graves?
Stu
No, I don't. I will say I don't. You know, they have a whole list, and I'm hesitant to read these because they have a whole list of different media matters, you know, drones that. That have been fired. And I feel bad for.
Glenn Beck
I don't. Oh, oh, you feel bad dancing on their graves? I'll build a dance floor. I'll build a dance floor on their graves.
You know, I know Jesus wouldn't do that. No, but I'd be. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'd bring the platform shoes and the dance floor and the lights. In fact, I bring. I bring this as we're. As we're dancing on their graves. I wouldn't have a problem with that at all.
Stu
So, I mean, I do feel I have a. I mean, the organization as a whole should, you know, dissolve into the you know, the depths of hell.
Glenn Beck
Yes.
Stu
But, yeah, you know, you have, like. I mean, these are obviously, you've got a bunch of, like, untalented hourly workers who have no marketable skills that are now we're gonna wind up paying for because of the programs they advocate for. Oh, you know, like, I don't.
Glenn Beck
You know, when you bring it to them personally, individually, I still feel a little, like. A little like that. So it's not. You're gonna have a hard time convincing me not to dance on their graves.
Stu
Well, I mean, again, yes, they are doing things that are hurting the nation on a daily basis. Basis. Like that is. I mean, yes, if they were effective.
Glenn Beck
At their job trying to destroy truth.
Stu
And the republic, yes, again, the organization is just built on constant lying, so it's hard to feel happy. But I feel. I feel the same way. I feel about, like, I was watching a documentary about, like, you know, Jeffrey Dahmer. No, don't disparage Dahmer in that way.
Glenn Beck
I mean, he had a whole. Okay, all right, you're right. You're right. I don't want to be unfair to Dahmer.
Stu
I was watching a documentary. Documentary about these pig butchering scams.
You know what I'm talking about with these? So basically, no, I am not up.
Glenn Beck
On my pig butchering scams. No, I'm not.
Stu
I'm fascinated by this stuff. So the pig butchering scam, the basic outline of this.
Glenn Beck
Hang on just a second.
This is how bored we get of news. Sometimes down in the dumps we get. We just can't do it anymore. Stu's now fascinated with pig butchering scams. Okay. And I appreciate that, Stu. I really do.
Stu
So you've probably been the target of a pig butchering scam. Almost everybody has, really? You get a text that says, hey, Bill, can't wait to see you tomorrow. And you're like, not Bill. And hopefully on their end, you reply to them and you say, my name's not Bill. You have the wrong number. And then they say, oh, I'm so sorry. Well, what a wonderful coincidence. Maybe we can be friends. How are you?
Glenn Beck
What's your name? Hang on just a second.
First of all, I thought you meant actual pig butchering, which I was a little more interested in.
Stu
Oh, really?
Glenn Beck
Because I don't know how you scam pigs into being butchered.
Stu
Yeah, you're like, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.
Glenn Beck
Kitty, and then they end up butchered. And it's a scam.
Stu
No, the way to do it, you need to let pigs know is to put the message in a. In a spider web, and then the pigs will think, oh, it's Charlotte. And then you just.
Glenn Beck
Next thing you know, you're eating bacon. That's right.
Stu
No. So, you know, so you get kind of scammed, and then you have a conversation with them. Sometimes it's a love interest, some. Some good looking woman on the other end of this. They. They say, you know what, by the way, I have some great investment advice. You should try what I'm doing. And they eventually get these people to invest.
Glenn Beck
Lots of questions here.
Stu
They invest in a fake investment app, right? They wind up putting 2030, $40,000 into this app. They think they're getting these big returns when they try to withdraw the money. Of course, it's not a real app. And one of the things that they do is they have these women who are employed in, like, you know, Myanmar or something, and they get on the phone on Zoom calls, and they actually, like, have calls with real people. They employ models. Now, all they do all day is they're good looking. And they talk to these, these guys who think they've got, like, some hot woman who's all of a sudden interested them out of nowhere and wants them to invest in crypto.
And they, they have these women who go through this whole day, and this is their process, and they talk to. They had some behind the scenes coverage of this, and they're talking to these women, and these women were just like, look, my other option is, like, I'm an escort. Like, I've got nothing. I've got a family. I've got nothing going on. And they're. And even though what they're doing is evil, I felt bad for them. That's how I feel about the media matters employees. I feel like they're the models that they don't want to be quite escorts. No, I feel slightly worked, really.
They are scamming the american. They're scamming the american people, just like the people involved in the pig butchering scams. But I feel bad for them.
Glenn Beck
They're giving fat, ugly people hope at the same time.
Stu
Yeah, that's true. So, yeah, those people in Myanmar are better. Yes, I will agree. It's just a generalized comparison.
Glenn Beck
No. And, you know, I also take umbrage with the. What is it? The pig butchering scam.
Why are the people who are giving their money referred to as the pigs?
Stu
I think, I mean, part, it's built on them being greedy. So they're pigs, and they keep going, and then they get butchered.
Glenn Beck
So only greedy people get scammed by beautiful women?
Stu
I mean, it's not entirely. No, I would say it's happened.
Glenn Beck
Okay, all right. A few other times it happened to you and me.
Stu
A few other times, it's happened to you and me.
Glenn Beck
Okay, all right.
Speaker 1
Okay.
Glenn Beck
All right. Go ahead. Or it could happen to you and me.
Stu
So you, you believe that, uh, you have no sympathy? You don't have the. No, here's the almost escort sympathy that I have.
Glenn Beck
No, no, no. Here, you hear? To be completely honest, these are people that have, you know, fallen and lost their way.
And I don't know why or how, but probably most of them, you know, deserve a dance floor and some lights. You bring the disco ball and I'll celebrate. I'm just, I'm just saying I feel.
Stu
Like we should do something for these people today. Really?
Glenn Beck
Like what?
Stu
I don't know. Maybe we can. I mean, maybe the audience would raise some money for their.
Glenn Beck
Oh, to help them out.
Stu
To help them out. You know, I'm sure there'd be a.
Glenn Beck
Lot of calls for, you know, they would consider me one of those pigs probably, wouldn't they?
Stu
It's possible.
Glenn Beck
You know what? I'm gonna dig deep. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go big, stu. I'm gonna go big. I'm gonna go all in.
Stu
You wanna.
Glenn Beck
I'm gonna reach into the deepest pocket I have, and I'm gonna pull all of that belly button fur out of that pocket and put it right there.
Stu
You're putting belly button fur.
That's what you're donating.
Glenn Beck
I wear a lot of sweaters. A lot of wear a lot of sweaters. And so it becomes. Yeah, fur.
Stu
And sometimes they get tight. I've noticed. And, you know, there's what?
Glenn Beck
The belly button.
Stu
Yeah. No button pushes out against the sweater. You're gonna get a lot of lint in there.
Glenn Beck
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, the belly button's not tight. It's not tight. It's the deepest pocket I have, I think, at this point, so. Wow. I'm willing to do it. I'm willing to do it.
Stu
The fundraising drive has started with belly button lint.
Glenn Beck
Yes. Yes. Wow.
Stu
That's incredible. Wow. I'm really proud of you.
Glenn Beck
Thank you.
Stu
That's very nice. Nice.
Glenn Beck
It's good, it's good. And it comes with disco shoes as well. So in case, you know, in case they're such good people, in case they want to dance on their own grave, they can do that as well.
Well, they are, you know, here's here's why I have no sympathy for these people, because they'll do it again. All that'll happen is media matters will be shut down, some other billionaire will come in, they'll rename it, they'll rehire all these dirt bags, and they'll do it again.
Stu
It's possible. I kind of think a lot of them will just go direct. Why not? Why would do this middleman dance they've been doing? Just go directly to MSNBC and work there.
Glenn Beck
Right?
Stu
Like, I guarantee some of these people will be hired there. They all consider themselves journalists, which is absurd. They're all mentioning that. They all think they have incredible research capabilities, which is just laughable.
But, like, what is the difference between media matters and, like, the average show airing in primetime on MSNBC? I mean, if anything, MSNBC is more liberal.
Glenn Beck
Speaker one. Yeah, well, I will tell you this. I mean, that's, again, a little more charitable, because I thought you were saying, why cut, why not just cut out the middleman and go work directly for Satan?
And I don't know if he's hiring right now. I don't check those wad ads, but, you know, he very well might. So strap on your disco shoes. We're not finished yet. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. This half hour. It's Mantis X. Mantis X. You've heard the old phrase practice makes perfect. Not true, but it does make you a lot better than you were. That's why it's so important. I mean, if. I mean, I've been doing this for almost 50 years.
You think practice makes perfect? Not a chance. Anyway, it's important to keep up with your shooting of your guns on a regular basis. You own them for a reason, and the reason isn't to miss when you really need to use them. But ammunition is expensive. Getting, you know, out to the range is a big commitment to time, but you need to do it. May I suggest a new way? It's called Mantis X. It's a high tech, easy to use system used widely by the military and helps you improve your shooting quickly. Now, 94% of shooters improve within 20 minutes. That is quite a claim.
Especially I am a good shot.
And, you know, I have shootouts with my. Well, I mean, not shoot. I have shooting competitions with some of my protectors. And quite honestly, there are times that I'm like, maybe I should protect you, but I'm a good shot. And when they said, you will improve in 20 minutes, I thought, okay, I dramatically improved in 20 minutes. And that is usually the case 94% of the time, it's like having a firearms instructor. I think, personally, it's better than having a firearms instructor right next to you. It's something you just attach to the barrel of your gun. Whether you're live firing or dry firing, it doesn't matter. It will download instantaneously in real time on your iPhone or, you know, on your. On your iPad or whatever. Just use an app and open it up, and it shows you exactly what you're doing. Aiming. It shows you what you're doing when you're pulling the trigger, after you pull the trigger. And it's. It's really hard not to improve. Be responsible. Try Mantis X. Mantisx.com. go there now. Mantisx.com. 10 seconds. Station ID.
All right, is we.
Do you want to read the names, or do you feel bad, Stu?
Stu
I mean, how about. I'll just give you their messages.
Bobby says, journalism milestone achieved.
Got laid off.
Now, it's a funny line, actually. However, can you imagine thinking you work at this, like, place and thinking you're a journalist? Like, it's.
Glenn Beck
I mean, I've convinced themselves. Remember, journalism taught in school now is activism. It's. It's not journalism, it's activism. So that's what they're being taught at these, you know, hallowed halls of Columbia University.
Stu
Yeah, exactly. I mean, look, we've done the show for a long time, talked about news for a lot. I'm never referred to myself as a journalist. Like, I'm not. I'm definitely not. And I don't care if you went to some college. I got a degree in journalism. What are you using it for? I mean, if you. You know, you get a degree in massage therapy and you're an accountant, you know, like, what does that mean? You're doing something completely different than what the skill should actually allow you to do.
Glenn Beck
But the problem is, just like everything else, the skill has been redefined. Yep, words have meaning. And the word journalism now means activism.
Period.
Stu
Alex writes, I got laid off from media matters today, proud of the five years of intense work I put into fighting right wing hatred.
Glenn Beck
I'm an.
I really think that maybe, you know, I've got a. I've got to put the dance shoes back on.
Stu
Yeah, yeah.
I will say it ends with a Jeb busheon line. I'm an incredible manager with superb research skills. Please hire me.
Glenn Beck
Clap.
Stu
Please clap.
Glenn Beck
Please clap.
Stu
I like that.
Then you have b, who writes, after nearly four years of working at media matters, I got laid off. So if anyone's looking for researchers with video experience. Drop a line.
No, I just.
Brendan got laid off. Let me know who wants research done, which.
Why would they go to you? Why would anyone go to anyone who worked at media matters in search of actual research?
Glenn Beck
Can we answer that one? Can we answer that?
Stu
No, I mean, you can.
I believe you have control of your account.
Glenn Beck
Uh, I do, and that's the problem.
Stu
Yeah, well, there's a bunch of other ones.
Glenn Beck
We'll.
Stu
We'll leave the rest of the people off. Sorry if you happen.
Glenn Beck
We don't.
Stu
That article.
Glenn Beck
But, I mean, I ended the.
Yeah, I sincerely, uh, don't feel bad about any of the comments that I just made. So. Couldn't happen to a greater group of liars, uh, people who distort and he. People who just destroy lives with glee and lies. So couldn't happen to a nicer group. Hope there's more to follow.
Thank you, Elon Musk.
Stand up, Glenn Beck.
Are you being tired of being told that, you know, you're what's wrong with America? Because I kind of am. I kind of am. And, you know, it's kind of like media matters. I think these giant woke corporations can't go out of business fast enough, and I'd like to help them do that. You know, to accomplish that with Verizon would be just a. Just a. Again, I'd be building a dance floor. I would.
America's only christian conservative mobile company. Which doesn't mean that they force you to be a Christian. It means they live as close to the principles of Christ that they can. They make mistakes and everything else, but they try, okay? That's what being a christian means. And a christian company doesn't mean that you want everybody else. They're on your phone going, you're going to be a Christian. No, it's like christian nationalism. That's not what it means. Anyway, affordable, excellent plans you're going to get with the offer.

We gotta get to some audio of Donald Trump in, in the Bronx yesterday.
He just.
He killed it in the Bronx yesterday, a lot like Ronald Reagan did back in his day when everything was falling apart because of Jimmy Carter.
Also, Michael Schellenberger has more on the Twitter files. This time it's the CIA, something that we have long suspected because it's just a revolving door.
But CIA, contractors, Department of Defense, they, they have been working now in and out of the, of Twitter. No longer now with x, I hope, but they are going in and out of Twitter and they were trying to take over the Twitter moderation.
What a surprise that is.
Also John Bolton unloaded on Wolf Blitzer over the Alito flag thing.
John Bolton is not really liked a lot by conservatives now who voted for Donald Trump.
I have grown to not like John Bolton's policies an awful lot and some of the things that he says, but I have personally found him to be a decent man. But I disagree with a lot that he says. But finally he said, you know, he's always been a guy who speaks his mind one way or another, but to take over the flag, brujah, he said, stop it. That's just over the line.
Stu
Yeah, it was an interesting thing because I talked about this on studos America last night and that, like this, the idea that hanging an upside down flag outside your house is some stop the steel symbol is not something that I've ever heard before.
Literally, I've never heard it before this past week.
Glenn Beck
It started with the Navy in Massachusetts, back at the colonial days ship in distress. Then it became, I think during the sixties, it became a protest of the Vietnam war. The left carries it upside down all the time in their protests. They know exactly what it means.
Stu
Hmm. And it's this, you know, it's a protest symbol and has been for a long time. This is what Bolton said. He said, I first heard of the upside down american flag as being a January 6 symbol. When I read it about, read about it in the New York Times about a week ago.
I had, and that's the same for me. But I literally never, same with the pine tree flag. Literally never heard that. Never seen it as a part of some stop the steel protest or anything like that. They found a picture of two of them at the January 6 rally and made a news story out of it.
How that ties in. I mean, this is, you know, Samuel Lito is a guy who's, like, studied history. He majored in history. Like, the guy is a constitutional expert. He, of course, he knows what the flag actually means.
Glenn Beck
You missed one of the things that he said that I thought was important. He said, but I'm telling you, it's getting to a point where people trying to take symbols of american patriotism and turning them against the country and the Supreme Court justice is just over the line. And that's what they're doing. They're taking everything that we have ever held sacred and turning it inside out. Wow. Upside down and inside out. Hmm.
Stu
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Who said that?
Stu
It is amazing. By the way, Glenn, I don't know if you remember, we didn't really talk too much about when the initial story came out of the New York Times. I know we wanted to get to it. We want to get sidetracked on other stuff. But in that story, which is about Alito having an upside down flag outside of his house that was put up by his wife for apparently less than a day in some sort of dispute with his neighbors, they wait till paragraph 19 and 20 to tell you about this flag. Now, at the top of the article, it's all this stop the steel symbol was used by Samuel Alito. Again, never heard of that as a stop the steel symbol. It's always been a symbol of distress. And honestly, like, seems kind of rational in the days after January 6. Whether you think probably one of two things, either a terrible moment in our history, you know, a riot at our capital, we are a country under distress. Right? Totally. What the left would say about that incident. Or if you are a stop the steel person, you think, I don't know, like, the country's in distress. I think my election just got stolen. Right.
Glenn Beck
So either. And hang on just a second. It's not a symbol of rebellion. It is a symbol asking for help. We are in distress.

This is paragraph 19 and 20 of the article. Turning the american flag upside down is a symbol of emergency and distress. First used as a military, so's historians said in interviews. In recent decades, it has increasingly been used as a political protest symbol, a controversial one because of all the flag rules. Over the years, upside down flags have been displayed by both the right and the left as an outcry over a range of issues, including the Vietnam war, as you pointed out.
Glenn Beck
That's a right.
I mean, I'm sorry, that's the left.
Stu
Gun violence, that's the left. The Supreme Court's overturning of the constitutional right to abortion.
Glenn Beck
Pretty sure that's the left.
Stu
That's the left, by the way, horrible phrase. Phrasing of that. And in particular, election results, they expand on that. In 2012, tea party followers inverted flags at their homes to signal disgust at the reelection of President Barack Obama. Now, again, I don't remember that per se, but if that is true, you might remember the Mitt Romney Obama election. I don't remember anyone on the right saying it was stolen. I mean, we didn't know Obama thing of the election.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And it was, again, I think conservatives would fly it almost like an appeal to heaven. Dear lord, help us. We are a nation that has gone insane.
We saw, some of us saw what the groundwork was that Barack Obama was laying, and it is now, we are now reaping that harvest. So if you like that harvest, great. But many tea party partiers saw this harvest one day having to be reaped.
Stu
That's exactly right.
Glenn Beck
Against the election. Speaker one.
Stu
It's not about the election. Like the result. We think the election results were incorrect. I mean, I think everybody agrees Barack Obama defeated Mitt Romney. Like that occurred. Like I.
So then it says four years later, some liberals advised doing the same after Mister Trump was elected. Now, that, of course, was an election that they said was illegitimate and have said it's illegitimate dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens of times by prominent left wing people.
And that was their vibe on that. They were doing that in 2016. Now, I don't remember any stories in the New York Times talking about these people as people complaining about stolen elections or anything else. No, it was just, it was just a smart protest of a really bad Hitler that just got, became president by mistake.
Glenn Beck
Speaker one. All they're trying to do is to get Alito discredited because they're discrediting the entire Supreme Court because they want to remake the Supreme Court. Nobody should be appointed for a lifetime. We should have, you know, every couple of years we should switch out, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But more importantly, they know there are challenges that are coming up to, and not because of the right, per se, but because of the left as well.
We have engaged now because of the left into nothing but non stop lawfare. And they want him off. They need him to recuse himself on anything to do with any kind of election law. That's all this is about.
Stu
Yeah, I think a lot of that is true. And I, I mean, they just also can't stand that they have, they don't have full and entire control of every aspect of the government. The fact that the Supreme Court occasionally rules against them, not all the time, but occasionally rules against them, and I think correctly, so they can't take that. They can't, they have to have everything. They have to have every, they want a dictatorship. They want this, this thing that they're just able to. Yeah, let me give you an example. Student loans. They want student loans and they think it's unfair that they can't get the bills passed that they need, so they just do it. And then the Supreme Court keeps telling them no. And that's. They want it. If they want it, they should get it. That's the rule. And the fact that the process and government of the United States and our system stands in their way is a reason to continually degrade the system's viability, make everyone involved that in it that disagrees with their opinion on these issues into people that are not viable characters. They're just, you know, they're just scam artists who are conspiracy theorists and secretly, which is a weird way to keep a secret, by flying a flag outside your house. But secretly, they're all, stop the steel people. And horrible, horrible human beings that are disintegrating our republic that they obviously don't actually care about.
Glenn Beck
I really want to go back to the pig slaughtering story.
Stu
I mean, you're a prime candidate for a pig pig butchering scam.
You're elderly.
Glenn Beck
Is that a fat. I'm an elderly fat.
Stu
You're an elderly, overweight individual who would be, you know, be like, wow, someone's talking to me like, I mean, if you weren't married, you'd be the target for this. You have a lot of money, and you're.
Glenn Beck
No, I gotta tell you, it wouldn't have to be a hot woman because I wouldn't be interested in that. I have a wonderful wife. But the way you just phrased it is more likely, wow, somebody wants to talk to me.
Fair.
Stu
It's fair.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. So, I mean, you may be right. You may be right. Okay, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
Oh, let's see. Who is it? It's Preborn. You know, I met with these guys this week. I love this organization. And one of my friends said, you know, in fact, it was Robert, my. My best friend since I was in school. He's like a brother to me.
He said, I've listened to you, Glenn, for years, and I have heard you do commercials for years and years and years. I've never heard you say, we on a commercial where you weren't, like, real estate agents. I trust. And he's right.
And he said that. And I thought. I say that all the time with Preborn. Join. Join us in this. I really feel like I am a part of these guys, and I say that with apologies to them, because they are the nicest, sweetest, christian, gentle people I have ever met.
Their sincerity in saving not only the lives of babies, but saving the lives and the souls of the mothers who are, if they have. If they feel trapped into an abortion.
Can you imagine living with that?
And I know, the Lord forgives absolutely everything, but there's sometimes that you do things and you're like, the Lord will never be able to forgive me for this. It's a lie.
But they save them from all of that regret and everything else. They're saving both the mom and the child.
And now they're working hard as well to stop this chemical abortion. Do you know, they told me two days ago, they were sitting in my office and they said, glenn, two times this week in Dallas, we have had a young girl come in who's had a chemical abortion and walk in with a towel. And in the towel is wrapped her dead child coming in sobbing by herself, saying, what do I do? What do I do with this?
This is a horror show.
And Preborn, we, you, me, them are going to put an end to it, and we're going to do it the right way. We're going to do it with love and compassion and information, because an ultrasound makes all the difference in the world. One ultrasound is $28. When mom sees the child or hears the heartbeat, she's twice as likely to consider life. We've got to shut these death houses down. And the way to do it is to show moms there's a better way. Hit pound 250. Say the key word, baby. I would like to ask you, it's a $28 donation. If you only have $5, they'll take that, too. But it's dollar 28 to save a baby.
I would like to ask you if you would consider dollar 28 every month and make it a monthly contribution. You can set it up so every month it just deducts $28.
That is a huge, huge help for them. It's 250 pound 250. Keyword, baby. You can visit preborn.com beck. Preborn.com beck. This message is sponsored by Preborn.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
There was a rather large rally in the Bronx yesterday for Trump. And one of the reasons why he has to rally in New York is because he doesn't have time. He's got to be back in court the next day.
But the only person that I've ever seen rally a real big crowd in the Bronx. It wasn't Romney, I'm trying to think. The others wasn't John McCain, George W. Bush right after 911, but not George Hw Bush. It was Reagan and it was during the Clinton years.
And now Donald Trump comes in, and here's CNN on yesterday's rally. What was the crowd like?
Stu
What kind of response did he get?
Glenn Beck
Well, certainly a bigger crowd than I think Democrats would like to see, particularly given this is one of the bluest counties in the entire country.
Harmeet Dillon
Now, one of the things that was.
Glenn Beck
Interesting to me is that the Trump campaign said, speaker three stop. You can barely hear her. What she's saying is particularly giving, this is one of the bluest counties in the entire country. You pay for, if you're in New York, you pay for your support for Donald Trump. It is not comfortable at all to be for Donald Trump. And I'm not saying he's going to win New York. He's not going to win New York City. He may not even win the Bronx. But I want you to listen to a couple of other things. Bronx Latinos rapping for Trump. Listen, so this is showing another trend. This is showing, if you happen to be watching the blaze, that conservatives are not just old white men, this is Latino Trump voters rapping about their support for him.
One more. Here's Bronx voters. A message for AOC.
Stu
Where you from?
Glenn Beck
The Bronx.
Bill Essayli
Actually, I'm originally from the Bronx and from New York.
Glenn Beck
I'm from the Bronx, right here in.
Bill Essayli
The Bronx, New York. This is home right here.
Stu
AOC says if you're not a Democrat, you don't belong here in the Bronx. What do you say? I disagree with that.
Harmeet Dillon
I don't think she should be here in the Bronx.
Glenn Beck
I actually don't know any Democrats living in the Bronx.
Bill Essayli
Look, AOC, look at the tremendous support.
Glenn Beck
For Mister Donald J. Trump. You need to tell her then she need to stay out the Bronx.
Bill Essayli
Cause look at all the people around.
Glenn Beck
Everybody safe for Trump. I am a Democrat and I belong here.
Stu
And who you voting for?
Bill Essayli
Donald J. Trump.
Stu
What has AOC done for the Bronx?
Harmeet Dillon
She's done nothing for the Bronx.
Glenn Beck
Nothing. Nothing's changed, nothing's gotten any better. Nothing.
Bill Essayli
Absolutely nothing.
Glenn Beck
I mean, and now this, this, and I know that that one came from Fox.
Stu
So, you know, at a Trump rally, we're obviously and correct, yes.
Glenn Beck
But the key there, and my overall message about the Bronx is the one guy who said I am a Democrat and I do belong here.
This to me is one little piece of the puzzle that may show Reagan Democrats, Trump Democrats exist again.
Stu
So do you know about House stealing? You know who does?
Graceland. This actually happened. This actually happened to Graceland. They tried to take away the House from the Presley family, the estate.
Why? Well, someone had filed, at least this is the accusation, someone had filed a false loan document in this particular case and they were going to take the house. And it's a little bit different, but it's basically the same concept. If it's happening to graceland, it could happen to you.

Welcome to the fusion.
Glenn Beck
Of entertainment and enlightenment.
Nellie Bowles
This is the Glenn Becky program.
Glenn Beck
Hello, America. Welcome. It's Friday. We have an amazing and packed show for you remaining the next 2 hours. Klaus Schwab Junior is joining us, believe it or not, Nellie Bowles, who is Barry Weiss's wife, who is somebody who is on the Uber, Uber left. And I wouldn't say she's on the right now. We still would, would politically disagree. But she has a new book out that is exposing her own self, honestly, about how she took glee in canceling people and explains all of it. She's an amazing woman and she's going to be on with us here in just a little while. Also, we have a congressman from, or an assemblyman from California that talks about the vote that honestly, there's been two votes today, this week from Democrats that tell everything you need to know. One in California that has, they have, every single Democrat voted to protect, not make a sanctuary state for those illegals that have, that have been charged and convicted with sex crimes against children.
That's how out of control California is. And the other vote was in Washington, DC, where the Democrats all voted to make sure that illegals could vote. That's something they've said. Oh, we're not for that. Every single one of them voted for illegals to be able to vote in the district of Columbia. And we also have Harmeet Dillon. She's got some good news. We're going to start there and then talk about the trial with Trump and so much more with one of my favorite people, Harmeet Dylan. She joins us in 60 seconds.
First, our sponsor.
Stu

Glenn Beck
I didn't get a 25th anniversary gift from you, but I have to tell you, that watch comes broken.
It's fantastic. Anyway, let's say hello to Harmeet Dylan. She's from the, she's the founder and CEO of the center for American Liberty, also a civil rights attorney. Welcome, Harmit. How are you?
Harmeet Dillon
I'm great. Thanks for having me, Glenn.
Glenn Beck
You bet.
First of all, let's start with some good news. Federal court has made a ruling that has overturned what Nancy Pelosi put in.
Tell me the story.
Maybe I'm on the, maybe I'm not. The federal court with the allowing prayer on the steps of the Capitol. Wasn't that Nancy?
Harmeet Dillon
Sorry. Yeah, absolutely. So the federal court, after three years of litigation, has ruled that in our lawsuit on behalf of Reverend Patrick Mahoney that the ban on prayer in the Capitol perimeter has been, is unconstitutional and needs to be permanently enjoined. Now, when we had the perimeter put up around the Capitol, that Nancy Pelosi's orders that prevented people from praying in what was typically known as a, as a public area for prayer, for demonstration, etcetera. So that perimeter barred Reverend Patrick Mahoney, who has come many times to DC to pray for the country, pray for the troops, pray for the people who need salvation, which as we all know, definitely DC is the hottest, hottest concentration of those people who need that prayer.
Glenn Beck
Oh, I thought you were going to say hottest, hottest ring of hell. But.
Harmeet Dillon
But what's striking, Glenn, is at the same time, members of Congress had actually been allowed throughout the last three years to hold demonstrations there. So, for example, Cori Bush has had sit ins there to protest the police and to cut for call, for cutting police funding.
Glenn Beck
Well, wait, wait, wait, wait. I want to make sure I understand that. So you couldn't organize one as a private individual, but if a congressman or a senator wanted to organize a group of people to come and protest, that could happen.
Harmeet Dillon
That's correct. Unbelievably and so, you know, but this just smacks of what all of us have experienced as citizens, which is that there's one set of rules for the elites, and they can do whatever they want, including on our people's house, and we can't access it for purposes that are protected by the First Amendment. So we filed this lawsuit after Reverend Mahoney was barred from praying there on the Capitol steps, something that he's done many times over the years. And then the court denied it time after time after time.
And finally last week, we got this positive ruling with a permanent injunction saying that the ban on prayer on the Capitol steps was unconstitutional. And it doesn't just benefit our client, it benefits all Americans who want to access these traditional First Amendment forums. So I'm really proud of you.
Glenn Beck
Can we protest on those, peacefully protest as well on those steps?
Harmeet Dillon
Yes, you have to get a permit, which is appropriate in a mixed use area like that. We have to let the people in Congress also access the steps. But it is no longer going to be the case that members of Congress can have giants and sit ins and lions there while the rest of us have to just stand outside the fence with our noses pressed against it.
Glenn Beck
Wow. So there was a district, a DC federal court.
Harmeet Dillon
Yes, that's right. And it's one of those same judges who's repeatedly ruled against the January 6 folks. And, you know, kind of been, we had, we had three years of negative rulings from this judge, and then, boom, on our motion for summary judgment. We did win it. So, really proud of that victory.
Glenn Beck
And do you think it'll go to the Supreme Court?
Harmeet Dillon
There is a chance that the Capitol police will appeal it to the DC circuit. And so the DC circuit would be the first court to rule on it if they do that.
And, you know, the judge, however, has left very little room for any argument on the First Amendment he cited. And, you know, it took us three years to get there with him. I don't think, I don't think it's a ruling that's capable of much attention, be frank. But yes, it is possible that it goes to the Supreme Court if one of the parties isn't satisfied with how the DC circuit rules, if there's an appeal.
Glenn Beck
Harmit, let me. We're talking to Harmeet Dillon. She's with Liberty Center. Libertycenter.org is the website you can go to. They do a lot of great work and I know would appreciate your support. But, harmy, tell me what you think is coming in the Donald Trump trials. I know it has now been indefinitely suspended down in Florida. I think officially yesterday or the day before the case in New York is, is just sheer craziness. I talked to Alan Dershowitz yesterday, and what he has seen, I mean, I'm hoping there's at least one person on the jury that just won't give and say, I'm not playing this game. But what do you think is going to happen to all of these court cases?
Harmeet Dillon
So it looks like the New York case is the only case that's going to go to a jury verdict before the 2024 election, starting with Florida.
I think the judge has actually flipped the tables and has actually put the prosecutor on trial. At this point, you know, they're effectively asking Jack Smith's team to account for evidence tampering and bias in and selective prosecution.
And this is, I think, the best possible way a case like that could go. And it's appropriate because far too often, Glenn, in our country, you know, I'm obviously in favor of law enforcement, but I'm also, before that, in favor of the Constitution. Far too often, what we see here in this country is selective prosecution because lazy lawmakers put too many laws on the books and there's no other, you know, that's what happens when people have so much power and there's no check on it other than the courts. And so you rarely see a judge step up and call to account some of these things. I've seen selective prosecution in pro life cases where I represent protesters and journalists who are exposing it. I've seen it in other cases like this. We've all seen it. And so it's wonderful to see that in DC, the special counsel's case is likely to have a wrench thrown in it by the Supreme Court over the issue of qualified immunity. And, you know, I think the most likely outcome there in the case is for the court to send it back down to lower courts, either the DC circuit court or the trial court in DC, and have them make findings about which of the allegations against President Trump in that case having to do with, you know, the January 6 issues concern his conduct as the president of the United States, which is, in my opinion, most, if not all, of his actions that are alleged, or candidate Trump. And so that's the same rule that actually was established by the DC circuit court in a case that I'm handling for President Trump involving civil lawsuits by other members of Congress and Capitol Police.
And then we have this case in New York, which is absolute miscarriage of justice from beginning to end, starting with selective prosecution he's being prosecuted for crimes that nobody is prosecuted for, particularly.
Glenn Beck
Wait, wait, wait.
Harmeet Dillon
People for anything.
Glenn Beck
It's not a crime that people aren't prosecuted for, I believe. Didn't the FEC say it's not a crime?
Harmeet Dillon
Well, yeah, I was going to get to that. But the paperwork, the paperwork part, there's two parts of the supposed crime. We don't know what one part is because they haven't really laid it out. But the other part is writing, you know, someone, bookkeeper, whoever makes records, writing down legal expenses in the wrong column, that's a misdemeanor, and it's also beyond the statute of limitations. Okay, so that's two strikes against that claim. They've tried to resurrect that into a live claim by saying that it's in furtherance of some other crime. They haven't. They've been, you know, jumping around as to what that other crime is. Michael Cohen, their star witness, alleged that the crime was trying to affect the outcome of the election and making it a campaign finance expenditure. However, campaign finance experts, I've got, you know, two people, two partners at my firm who worked at the FEC, campaign finance experts, all of them will tell you it is not a crime to make an expenditure that benefits you personally. And there's no question about that.
Glenn Beck
They didn't allow that expert to say that, though.
Harmeet Dillon
Did they allow the expert to say that? That's correct. That was one of the judges early rulings. And when the expert was finally allowed to testify, the judge again limited him to not being able to talk about the federal election law. The Trump campaign decided not to call him after all, because he was basically gagged to the point of not being able to testify on anything. And then you get to this series of rulings by this judge, starting with not recusing himself, as is required by New York law, when his daughter has a financial interest in the outcome of the case. Starting with excluding pro Trump people from the jury, like Orthodox Jews, by insisting on holding court on Fridays when most courts do not meet and have jury sessions on Fridays, excluding witnesses, refusing to throw out charges, excluding evidence, allowing the other side to badger and bring in evidence and stack the jury in their side. So there have been a number of, I would say, almost on a daily basis, the judge has made rulings that are susceptible to reversal on appeal, including clearing the courtroom and scolding witnesses for President Trump. I mean, there wasn't a day that it didn't just shock the conscience for me as a lawyer in the conduct of this trial. And so what we hope for, Glenn, just as you said, is a single juror or two jurors or three jurors who refuse to go along with this railroading of President Trump, and that would result in a mistrial, a hung jury, and then it would be possible for them to try to retry him.
But I just think it's, and by the way, if the judge properly charges the jury and allows them to go for the misdemeanor, only then he has to dismiss that at the end of the case because it's beyond the statute of limitations. So, you know, that case is falling apart.
Glenn Beck
Okay, so, harmony, hold on just a second, because I want to ask you about the election.
I was rooting for you to be, you know, the head of the GOP to, you know, maybe fix things. And I'm not sure what's happening with, you know, the GOP on, on securing the elections and everything else. And a couple of other things I'd like to just get your thoughts on, but we'll continue in 60 seconds. Back with army Dillon.
Stand by. Just a minute. First, let me tell you about rough greens. Kevin wrote in about his dog's experience with rough Greens. He says, I finally decided to try this after seeing the ads over and over and over again. I thought it seemed like a lot of hype, but I'm pleased to find out that everything is as advertised. My four year old dog, really picky eater, but not anymore. She had a huge increase in appetite. We also gave it to her younger sister and she loves it, too. They play all day long now until they collapse and fall asleep. Thank you, rough greens.
I have to tell you, Kevin, that is exactly the experience I had. Uno, I didn't think, ate very much. And when we did feed him, we had to almost feed him by hand.
We did. Almost every time. It was so obnoxious, we couldn't get him to eat. We tried everything. We put rough greens on the food and he gobbled it down and he became like a puppy again. Naturopathic doctor Dennis Black came up with this. It's not a dog food. It's something you sprinkle on your dog's food. And it has everything. I mean, if it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in rough greens, including the probiotics. They want you to try a trial bag free just to make sure your dog loves it as much as Uno does and Kevin's dogs do. Just go to roughgreens, ruff greens.com bec, roughgreens.com beck or call 833 glenn 33. They give you your first trial bag for free. 833 glenn 33 roughgreens.com beck 10 seconds. Station id I have to thank you for everything that you do and are involved in. I think you are really an unsung hero in many ways. Don't get the credit that you deserve. We just had you on for a special on the dark world of gender affirming care, and you're representing Luca, Hein. And we don't need to get into the story here, but I just wanted to ask you, how's she doing?
Harmeet Dillon
You know, for a young woman who has been absolutely tortured at the hands of medical establishment and betrayed by adults, she's doing remarkably well. And both Luca and my other client, Chloe Cole, who have been leaders in protecting the rights of girls to not be misled, mistreated and mutilated by american doctors, they have saved lives by going around the country and testifying in front of other various legislatures about laws that protect minors from unscrupulous doctors who want to cut off their private parts. And so I'm really proud of these two women.
Glenn Beck
I tell you, we have, first they came for the men and they destroyed manhood, and now they're destroying our women. And this whole thing is so well crafted by the left and those who want to destroy the western way of life that in some, in some ways, you have to stand back and admire how well thought out this whole thing was. It's evil, sheer evil, but it's brilliant the way it's been pulled off. Let me ask you about the coming election and what steps we have taken as a party.
I'm very concerned. I mean, yesterday, the district of Columbia, all of the members, all the democratic members of the House voted. Yep. Let illegals vote in the next election. That's insanity.
Harmeet Dillon
It's insanity. But believe it or not, Glenn, it's been the case in other jurisdictions as well. And what blows my mind, and by the way, illegal aliens have been able to vote in school board elections in San Francisco, where I live for many years on the theory that their parents, their kids go to school so they should be allowed to vote. It's nuts. And it's conditioning people to vote in all elections. And I'm sure that's happening around the country. So what I think is striking about this is that Congress can actually do something about it. This is the dirty secret. And by the way, Republicans control Congress right now. But we've had bigger. We've had bigger in 2017. We had the White House, the House and the Senate. And the dirty little secret is, I think there are a lot of Republicans who are perfectly happy with illegal aliens coming into the country, providing cheap labor, mowing their lawns, taking care of their kids and so forth, and they don't take steps against this. And so remember how there was a national speed limit and Congress required tied federal funding to having a speed limit in your state? Well, I'm not a big fan of federalizing issues and even some important cultural issues of conscience, but the federal government gives money to every jurisdiction pretty much to help run their elections, because they're federal elections. We could tie our federal funding for each of those jurisdictions at the congressional level to only allowing citizens to vote.
Glenn Beck
Yep. And we should meet. I'm sorry to interrupt. We've only got about 15 seconds left. I just want you to next time you see President Trump, tell him that millions of Americans are praying for him every day.
We know the pressure he's under, and I for one appreciate the way he's handling himself under such great and grave attack. So please say hi.
Harmeet Dillon
I'll do that.
Glenn Beck
Thank you. God bless you. Thank you, Army Dillon, back in a minute. Glenn Beck, if you had a nickel for every time Joe Biden or a member of his administration lied about the state of the economy, you'd have a lot of nickels. A lot of nickels. Unfortunately, they wouldn't be worth a nickel because Joe Biden's economy is wrecking the value of a nickel and a dime and a quarter and a dollar, making it worth less and less. Until, and I've said this for years, it is worthless.
You cannot trust the government to have your best interest at heart when it comes to your dollar. You have worked hard for that dollar. With taxes, they're going to take more and more of those dollars. With inflation, they will make it worth less and less. So you are.
How do you get a country to that is built on ownership, to own nothing and be happy? You bankrupt them and you do it with destroying the dollar, and that's coming.
Please, please, I want you to call Lear capital. I beg of you, please find out if anything, that you have just 10% of what you might have in a 401K or IRA. Put it in gold or silver. Call them today. 800 957 gold. 800 957 gold. Do it right now.

Before we get into our next guest, I want to remind you that I've written my very first young adult book and I've done it for a good reason.
The young adults are about to inherit the United States, and only about 40% of them have a basic understanding of America and american history. 40%. And that's a basic understanding. And it gets worse from there. They cannot inherit what they don't know it is.
It will automatically be destroyed. And so I wrote a new young adult fiction series called Chasing Embers. The first book is coming out this summer. You can get it now for your kids or grandkids at glenn beck.com. it's a great summer reading, honestly, for the whole family.
Glenn Beck.com. get it now. Make sure you get your copy.
Let's see. We have Bill Assailey on with us. He's been on with us before. He's a California state assemblyman. He's a Republican. And he put something up that he knew didn't have a chance to survive. I believe, however, he wanted, he wanted everyone to see that every single Democrat in the California house would, would vote against his bill. And I'm going to let you tell, let him tell what the bill was. It just failed this week. Bill, welcome to the program.
Hi, Glenn.
Speaker 1
Thank you for having me.
Yeah, so we, I put this bill up. First of all, it was inspired by two specific cases that we had coming out of the state of California. One, Bill Maligian reported colombian illegal immigrant raped a 14 year old girl, went to prison in California. Ice wanted him. They wanted him immediately after his sentence so they could deport him. Under California law or sanctuary state law, it is illegal for the sheriff or any law enforcement official to honor an ICE request or to cooperate in any way with immigration officials. See, they put him back in the streets and he was picked up later in Boston, Massachusetts, where they eventually deported him. And that's what first inspired this bill said, why does the state of California's laws protect pedophiles? Why would we do this? So that's what I wrote. The law is very specific. All the law says is we're rolling back sanctuary state as it applies to child sex offenders. If you've been convicted of committing a child, a sex offense against a minor, you are required to comply with immigration official orders.
Glenn Beck
So it doesn't open, it doesn't open up sanctuary state for anything else other than convicted pedophiles.
Speaker 1
Yes. And that was by design. Of course, if I was running a place, I'd reverse the whole policy. But I said, you know what? We're only 18 out of 80 in here.
We're not controlling policy. Let's get them on record. Let's expose the Democrat party for who they are. And I knew that putting this up, they would vote it down. And then we could show the public they are more concerned about protecting illegal immigrant pedophiles than they are about doing the right thing and protecting american citizens, that's who these people are. So I've said, people have started calling me. They do not believe this. Like, it's almost so crazy. People don't believe it. That's where we are. And then just last week, Glenn, we had a guy, legal immigrant, found. He had a rape van driving up and down the streets of LA, picking up women and young children and raping them in a van. He's an illegal immigrant and he is currently protected under our state laws from deportation. We will not deport him from California.
Glenn Beck
You know, I've.
California has just become depraved.
Hollywood is a big source of this to where it is honestly depraved and evil what's going on. And when you have a whole bunch of representatives of the people and they won't deport convicted pedophiles and cooperate with the federal government to get them out of the state, we're not talking about anything else. I'd like to evict all of them but pedophiles.
What are the voters saying? Is there any uproar about this at all in California?
Speaker 1
The problem with California, Glenn, is there's so many bad policies, so many bad bills. We voted on hundreds of bills just this week. It's hard for people to even keep up with what's happening. So that is why I try to concentrate. Let's just focus on one issue. Just one. Let's focus on this. And luckily, thanks to you, thanks to other media outlets, they are covering this issue now and people are being waking up to it. But if you watch the video of when I forced the vote on the floor, they wouldn't even let me describe the bill. As soon as I said this bill would roll back sanctuary state for pedophiles, they cut my microphone off.
It's like they don't even want the public to know what they're doing up there. That is when they talk about democracy. Show them that video. That's the democrat version of democracy.
Glenn Beck
Oh, I have to get that video. We will play that video. Bowie, one of our producers, if you can find that video, is it on your website or anywhere? What would we look for?
Speaker 1
It's on our Twitter.
It's. You can see it on our Twitter. We put the video up and what's.
Glenn Beck
Your Twitter handle here?
Speaker 1
It's, it's at Bill assailey.
Glenn Beck
Okay.
We will, we'll expose that and I'll retweet that. That, that's horrific.
It is.
The only way to describe what is, is happening is true evil. And then those who are intentionally blinding themselves because it's too horrific to look at and they don't want to believe their side is truly that evil.
Speaker 1
Yeah, that's, that's 100% right. You know, my takeaway was quite, I mean, I'm serve with these people every day in the Capitol. We did this vote unfazed, cavalier. It was just another thing on the day. And they just resumed walking around. They don't give a damn. They just don't. It is all about party and politics. And you know, the reason they voted against it. I bet you some of them did not even know what they're voting of. Just because I'm a Republican and I proposed a motion by instinct. They just voted down without consideration. That is.
Glenn Beck
Did you have any Democrat come to you in quiet and say, look, Bill, I understand what you're doing and, you know, this is sick, but it will open up the door to all other things. Did you get anybody to privately say that to you?
Speaker 1
No. In fact, I get disdain and looks and why are you doing this? And we, this is, you know, they get mad at me for forcing the issue. That's the response I get from, from the Democrat colleagues. And I'll be honest, not, not on this one, but when I do similar things, I'll be honest with you, Glenn. I get some pushback from my own side because we have weak republicans, too, who are trying to do deals or pass something. And why are you making them mad? We have to work with them. I'm not working with these people. I will not work with these people. I'm here to defeat these people, not to work with these people. And we have to wake up on what a real opposition party looks like in this country. We have controlled opposition in our party and I'm not about that.
Glenn Beck
Where are you from in California? Is your seat safe?
Speaker 1
I am from Riverside County. I was born and raised here in southern California.
My parents are immigrants from Lebanon. And I love this country and I love this state and I'm not willing to give up on it.
Glenn Beck
I hope your seat is safe because you are a crusader and we need those. I don't know if you saw what Tim Scott said this week. Did you read his?
You did or didn't?
Speaker 1
I didn't. I've been stuck locked up in the Capitol.
Glenn Beck
I know. I know. He said, because he put his hat in the ring to run for the head of the Senate, for the Republicans, and he said, no more working together. This cannot be done. He said, it is time for a sea change of the Republicans, or we will not save the republic. And you, you sound very much like him. And I agree 100%.
Thank you, Bill.
Speaker 1
I think there's a new type of conservatism rising, Glenn. I think it's, it's going to define generation.
Glenn Beck
Define it.
Speaker 1
I think the new form of conservative is like what you said, understanding what the principles of this country are, what the republic is, what a constitutional republic is, what limited power is, and then going into government, as for service, service to others, not service to yourself. And that's what I see a lot with politics. It should not be a lifelong career. You go there to represent the people and check the power of the government and check the power of the other parties. And I don't think that that has been the stance of the republican party. It has been to do the work of the donors or do the work of the business, not the work of the people. Every day up there going, I'll tell you, it's not easy. You're surrounded by lobbyists and big business and big money, and you forget who you are. You forget what your purpose is. And a lot of times I'm the lot, like, I'm the guy not liked in the room because I'm the one standing up for everyone who's not there, the public.
When everyone's pressuring you to do the wrong thing, it's not easy. But we need people with the right character, public offices. So if you're listening, I would say, please run. If you've accomplished something in your life, you have good character. You raised a family. Run for office.
I see. Glenn, up here, it is staffers. It's interns who become staffers who then run for office, or activists or Marxists.
I don't see normal, everyday people running for office anymore, and I think that's a mistake.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I know. In Utah, I talked to some people and they said they're now, the lobbyists are now running just to muck things up to get the weaklings in.
It's just disgusting what's happening. Bill, thank you very much for everything you're doing. Appreciate it. Keep checking in with us.
Speaker 1
Thank you.
Glenn Beck
Glad you bet. God bless.
I started this with talking to you about the book that I'm putting out this summer called chasing embers.
And there is a sea change happening.
There is a new group of conservatives that look at things differently than even my generation does.
They are rooted in a smaller government and the constitution, and they're beginning to understand the constitution. And it's a small movement, but it is happening.
And that is why chasing embers is, that is the reason why I wrote that book, because it's meant to be. And it's so hard to write it like this.
But my co author, Mikayla, who works with me, she did a really good job. She's from this generation, from that generation, and she can speak the language. And she's worked in little rabbit holes of taking you to the Bill of Rights, taking to you different parts of history, showing you different heroes of history that hopefully will excite the imagination of generation Z and make them go, is that true? What is that story about? And look for those stories. And we're building a website that will have all of those stories in there so they can do their own homework on what interests them. Because I have found in my own life, if you, if you find one story of history that interests you, it usually is. Well, it's always connected to something else that will also interest you. And it can take you a thousand different ways to learn about history. And it's so important, again, the book is chasing embers. And you can get it now. Glennbeck.com or wherever you buy your books. It'll come out. I think I said yesterday in June, but it is in actual July that it will come out. So it'll be a good summer reading book. All right. Back in just a second. 1st let me tell you about the Burna launcher, Stu. I know you're gonna, you're planning on coming up to the ranch.
Stu
Yes, I am. This summer.
Glenn Beck
This summer. And you want to burn a launcher or do you want to shoot real guns?
Stu
I mean, I love shooting the, burn a launcher. It's awesome. I got my wife one for her birthday.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I love it, too. And I think it's great. And it's, you don't waste any ammo because it's like you could just pick them up and use them again and everything else, and it's great. But I was just glad to see that, you know, you're afraid of real guns. Anyway, the, the burna launcher is the, is the go to defense weapon that I would have in my glovebox.
I would have it on me. You go into places if you're traveling, you don't want to bring your gun. It's a real pain in the neck if you're crossing state lines, etc. Etc. You have to be very, very careful. This is for anybody over 18. It is legal in all 50 states. There's no permits, no background checks. I saw a story. What was it in?
Oh, it was in the blaze yesterday. There was a story about how people are being just fed up with their cars being trapped by protesters and the protesters surrounding them and them feeling completely helpless. You roll your window down about an inch and you stick a burning launcher in and just shoot a few of the tear gas.
I think you're going to be able to get through the, the protesters. I think that will do it. You can put it in your luggage, checked luggage, without the need to declare it as a firearm because it's not. But it is very effective. It's Berna.

We'll be right back after these messages.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
I have to tell you, I am, I'm a little bit nervous, and I don't really ever get nervous. I've talked to prime ministers and, you know, former terrorists and I don't ever get nervous. But I have so much respect for Barry Weiss and her wife, Nellie Bowles, that, and you know me, if you listen, I'm prone to say giving, you know, compliments as like a slap in the face sometimes.
And I just have so much respect for this woman. She is, she was and probably still is a progressive, but not the way I think the world defines it right now.
She is, was a correspondent for the New York Times. She's won the Gerald Loeb award in investigations, the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Journalist Award.
And she and Barry Weiss have built the free press and they both are so brave. And she has a book out called morning after the revolution dispatches from the wrong side of history.
And she watched all this happen and then she saw it just, you know, become just this awful, awful movement.
And she admits she was part of it for a while. She, at one point in, she's talking about how she almost took glee in canceling somebody.
And she has, you know, she has changed her mind a great deal.
And this is like preserve this book that she's just written I will put into our museum of history because she has captured the moment and what gone through, and it is honest and raw. And we talk to her next.
The Glenn Beck program let me tell you about tunnel to towers. The blaze.
Oh, sorry, american giant. Sorry, american giant.
I'm wearing american giant today.
American Giant started, oh, I don't know, 15 years ago, ten years ago, because there was a company that was going out of business. It was a manufacturing company. And this guy who lives in San Francisco, who I absolutely love, was like, we got to get back to making things here in America again.
The limited edition rescue 22 classic full zip hoodie, modeled after their signature american made hoodie. All the profits go to fund dogs for veterans who need one. You can get it for Father's day. Do it now. Americandyne.com. gLENN welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck probably.
I have interviewed Billy Graham to Reverend al Sharpton. I've interviewed prime ministers and presidents and despots.
I've interviewed celebrities. And I've never that I can think of been really nervous because of how much I admire this person's work until today.
I'm going to, I'm going to interview somebody who I think is one earner, her spouse, are two of not only the bravest people, but then people who backed up their conviction with real action that is truly making a difference in our republic.
We're going to talk to Nellie Bowles in 60 seconds. Stand first. Our sponsor is tunnel to Towers. I want you to meet an american hero. His name is Army Major Jonathan Turnbull.
On his tour of duty, Major Turnbull was severely injured during attack from an IsIS suicide bomber. Left eye was completely lost. Right eye was punctured. He had 20 surgeries, countless hours of painful rehabilitation.
Jonathan Turnbull is still alive and well, thank God. But his life was completely changed. This is where tunnel to Towers comes in. They're an a charity. Ninety five cents of every dollar they raise go to people like Turnbull.
The tunnel to Towers foundation paid off his mortgage, gave him a specifically adapted smart home that was designed for his needs. He can now move around his home more easily now peace of mind that you know that he honestly deserves after defending our country at such a cost. And I don't believe the government should do it. I believe if we want a smaller government, then we have to do more. And that's what tunnel to Towers does. Tunnel to Towers foundation supports our heroes on our city streets. Firefighters, police officers, military. Anybody who loses their life in the, in the line of duty or is tragically injured, they take care of the family and they write off the mortgage. And it happens because of you. They're asking for $11 a month. I know that's expensive as times are getting tougher and tougher. But it is well worth, that's about, you know what, one happy meal now at McDonald's. It is well worth it. Tthe, that's t two. T.org go there now.
Nellie Bowles.
She is a writer living now in Los Angeles.
She has won the Gerald Loeb award in investigations, the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Journalism Award. She is also the wife of Barry Weiss, and the two of them are building the Free Press, a new media company which is, has dramatically changed the scene of journalism. And I think in many ways brought journalism some hope that maybe truth can return.
Nellie, welcome to the program.
Nellie Bowles
Thank you so much for having me. This introduction is way too kind, but thank you so much for having me. It's a pleasure to be on.
Glenn Beck
Thank you. I, honestly, this is the first time we spoke, and I don't know how you are, you know, how you feel about me or whatever, and it doesn't matter.
I just want you to know how much I respect you. And, Barry, you are truly making a difference.
Nellie Bowles
Thank you so much. And I listen to and very much.
Harmeet Dillon
Enjoy your work quite often.
Nellie Bowles
So thank you. That's how I feel.
Glenn Beck
Thank you. So, Nelli, your book, and I just said this to stu off air, your book is one that, I don't know if you know this, but I collect american history, and I'm trying to preserve both the good and the bad in case it ever is lost or destroyed. And I have the third largest collection behind the national archives in the library of Congress. And your book is going to be put into our vault because I read something somewhere that said that your book preserves this moment in amber. And it's true.
You've come from, quite honestly, I hope I'm describing this right, kind of enjoying canceling people because it was the thing to do to now looking at things, saying we are way off track.
Nellie Bowles
Yeah, well, I, the book is a little bit about my journey from being basically a very good progressive, a reporter at the New York Times doing features, a member of the progressive movement in many ways.
And it follows me first being kind of ousted from the times or finding it impossible to report on the most interesting stories of the day when there was basically a media blackout in 2020 and 2021 of anything interesting of antifa taking over american city neighborhoods of, you know, you name it, we couldn't write about it. And as I start reporting on that and as I start getting interested in that, the movement sort of says, you can't be part of us if you want to, if you want to be interested in that stuff.
And, yeah, there's a chapter where I describe canceling someone, canceling a friend.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Nellie Bowles
And, yeah, I don't think I come off as a hero in the book or as a heroic figure. I definitely don't.
Glenn Beck
And I come off as a human being and honest.
I so admire people who risk everything knowingly. Knowingly go out and say, you know what? I've changed. And I don't care if anybody believes me or not, but I can't live this way anymore, and I don't think it's right. And if nobody likes me, then nobody likes me. And that's usually where gigantic success comes and where heroes begin.
Nellie Bowles
Well, I.
That's very.
Glenn Beck
Sorry. Sorry. Just being honest with you.
Harmeet Dillon
But I'm blushing.
Yeah.
Nellie Bowles
I mean, with the canceling, I was thinking, I want to do a chapter about cancel culture. I want to report on how this works. And I was looking for some, you know, I'm a features reporter, done investigations. I was looking for someone to profile to do this. And I was thinking, you know what the most honest thing is to write about? When I was part of this and when I did one of these and.
And the feeling of it and the feeling of the pleasure of it and the.
I wanted to write something that wasn't a flat, that wasn't a flattening description of what it is to be part of that movement and part of canceling someone, because it's not just about rage. It's also about loving your friends, and it's a feeling of community and all of these things that make it complicated.
And so I ended up just writing about that. And then sort of the day that I didn't cancel someone, didn't cancel a friend was the day that my time was in the movement abruptly ended. Because being part of those mobs, we see them a little less frequently now, but being part of those mobs is a very important part of being with the new progressive moment. New progressive movement.
Glenn Beck
So you're right on saying that we're seeing maybe less. I think we're seeing some of the stuff with the palestinian movement. And I think in this next election, I hope and pray both sides will be reasonable and rational. But there are those who want to destroy the republic.
We are seeing less of it. And I think it's this culture of, I hope, hating each other and just destroying one another. It seems to be fading, and people seem to be waking up to common sense. But I know you agree it's not happening necessarily on the upper levels.
Nellie Bowles
Yeah. I think that there's two things with that. I think in part we're seeing the revolution has definitely quieted down. We're not seeing the BLM protests, riots in the streets anymore. It's definitely quieter. But I think in part that's because of the success of the revolution. I think it has so woven into our institutions and into our universities, our newsrooms, our sense making institutions that it doesn't need to be as loud, it doesn't need to announce itself. And actually it's beneficial to say it's over now. It's all really quiet, nothing changed. There's no, it's very beneficial to the movement to sort of pretend like it never even really happened. And so I think that's happening.
Glenn Beck
I think a lot has changed.
Nellie Bowles
Well, yeah.
Glenn Beck
Don't you think? I mean, when you mentioned the universities in media, we were just talking about this earlier.
Media is activism now. That's what a journalist is. And being taught in many schools that you're an activist that you know, you're fighting for, aside. No, a journalist is supposed to a be curious and not, I believe not walk in with, this is the story I'm going to get. Walk in maybe saying, this is a story I think I'm going to get. But be open to, holy cow, that's not the story at all. And I don't think that happens very.
Nellie Bowles
Often to maintaining your curiosity. I mean, it's the biggest challenge and the most important thing for a journalist to have is curiosity. And it actually takes a lot for people who are by nature are curious. The average journalist is a curious person who wants to learn about the world. It takes a lot to tell that person. Put on blinders. Don't look at what's happening around you.
Don't look into Covid's origins, for example. There was a media blackout on that for years. That was the most interesting story. I mean, in the COVID pandemic, to think you shouldn't look into the origins. It takes a lot, and that's where you have to see the success of the movement, because it's like, oh my gosh, this thing really won a lot of ways. It took America's best reporters and made them scared to write about the most interesting stories. It's amazing.
Glenn Beck
So what is going to, you know, you say that this is a human condition. You know, we're monkeys. What stops us from being monkeys? What, what is it that.
Nellie Bowles
I think liberalism like, broadly speaking, not conservative liberal, but liberalism, yes.
Glenn Beck
Is the heart constitutional living.
Nellie Bowles
Yeah. Being friends with people who disagree with you and having dinner with them and being curious to things that might not help your political party. Like, these are really challenging things. And I think we're backsliding a little into what is one part of human nature, which is tribalism, which is shouting and the threats of violence. And, I mean, you see it in the protests now, people chanting, intifada revolution. There's only one solution. I mean, these are called for violence, and that's human nature. The very hard thing is to maintain what we used to see on college campuses, where it was sort of peaceful protests and people disagreeing and talking in normal ways. That's really hard.
Glenn Beck
I don't think the universities or our schools, though, encourage that.
You can't politely disagree.
I talk to kids, conservatives in school all the time that are, I say this, but I believe this, otherwise I'm out.
And what's really, truly frightening is what's happening in our medical schools. Oh, man.
Nellie Bowles
Did you read that?
Glenn Beck
Yeah. It is terrifying what is happening. I mean, this is what happened in the 1920s and thirties in places like Germany and even here in America with our sterilization. You cannot do that in medicine.
Nellie Bowles
Well, the movement has very effectively, and I write about this in a couple of chapters, about how the movement has taken concepts like merit or individualism or hard work and turn those into inherently racist concepts. Is the idea what they'd say? And it's a very bizarre thing to say that, right, like, that individualism and merit are not racist ideas. And it's not. And it's actually sort of racist to say that they are.
These aren't, like, white ideas. That's a sort of racist thing to argue. But that is what the modern progressive has been arguing in very successfully. And so you saw, I have a chapter about San Francisco in the book, and you saw in San Francisco the banning of 8th grade algebra, that sort of accelerated math. Because to offer accelerated math to public school kids was to be racist. And that makes no sense. Like, if we just are honest and take it at face value, that's ridiculous.
And now we're seeing that ideology, not just, obviously, San Francisco is five years ahead of the rest of the country, but we're seeing that now basically in all of our institutions, including, yeah, medical schools. And the idea that the MCAT is not the be all and end all, and that, in fact, maybe the MCAT should be the third thing on the list that we look at, like maybe the fourth thing. And that's a really strange moment we're in. And I don't even think it's purely racial. It's not as though it's that there's just a preference for racial minorities. And it's the interesting thing, but particularly the free Beacon story is, I think a lot of it is just ideological. It's who writes the best, Dei statement, who writes the best, because the racial demographics, it's not like they're changing that dramatically a little bit. It's for sure, like, anti asian discrimination is something that you can track, but it's mostly that all of a sudden, ideology has become, like, the most important thing on your application.
Glenn Beck
I hate to say it like this, but I think it's true. Just as rape is not about sex, the cries of racism, most times are not really about race. It's about power.
Harmeet Dillon
Exactly.
Glenn Beck
Hang on just a second. Nellie Bowles is with us. The name of her book, well worth a read, is morning after the revolution.
And it is so well worth the read. Like I said, the only book that I know of, I think, that I've ever promoted on the air, that I'm putting in the vault at the american journey experience.
Back in 60 seconds with more standby.
Also, we have Klaus Schwab's son on in about ten minutes. Blinds.com dot blinds.com invented a better way to get custom window treatments by doing it online and getting rid of all the upfront pricing. That means no more annoying salespeople coming to your house, no more inflated showroom. Plus prices. They changed the game, and they've been doing it since the nineties when nobody was really buying anything on the Internet. Right now, during their Memorial Day sale, you can get up to 50% off their already amazingly low prices for the best blinds and other window treatments that you've ever seen. Blinds.com dot amazing products to choose from. Just have them help you out if you want. I mean, I'm somebody that has a fairly good eye, I think, on what, you know, looks good. And.
And I use their design people, and I did it kind of begrudgingly in a way because, you know, I got them on the phone, I said, look, this is what I'm looking for. And she said, well, this is actually cheaper. And I think it's probably more of what you're looking for. And I'm like, no, it's. That's not what I'm looking for. And she sent me the two examples and we got it. And I was like, yeah, that's exactly what I was looking for. They're amazing and they're there to help save you money as well.

I have considered myself almost a progressive hunter. And I don't mean progressive progressives, okay?
I mean the ones who identify with the early american eugenics.
I'll tell you exactly how to live. The ones who think they are ranchers and everybody else are cattle.
Tell me what the progressive movement means to you today.
Nellie Bowles
I define it basically against the liberal movement. So a progressive versus a liberal, that sort of is the most useful because a lot of the progressive movement has defied description. They don't want to be the revolution doesn't want to be named. Right?
Glenn Beck
You don't.
Nellie Bowles
Is it wokeness? Is it, what do you call it? But I define it against the liberal. And one good example that I think of is, let's say cops.
The progressive and the liberal. Look at the shared reality, which is that some cops do racist actions or use force when they shouldn't use force or something like that.
Glenn Beck
And as a conservative, I believe the same thing.
Nellie Bowles
And a liberal would say, let's fund the cops more. Let's put better training, let's make them more sophisticated. Let's give them higher salaries so it draws a smarter, or like, so it draws better talent. A progressive would say, let's abolish the cops. Let's get rid of the police force. Let's try something radically different. And you can look at each hot button issue through the progressive versus liberal. I think that's pretty useful.
Glenn Beck
Are progressives, I'm sorry, are liberals coming back? I think this was the turning point 20 years ago at least, because I kept saying how did we get here? Because I thought we all kind of agreed on the Bill of rights and everything else, and we don't.
And then when I started doing research on the early american progressive and people started saying I'm a progressive and an early american progressive, thats when I went, uh oh, were in real trouble because theres a difference.
Im more of a classic liberal than anything else. Do what you do, you know, just lets all agree on the bill of Rights and do what you do.
But that seems to be on the left largely gone.
Is it there with the Democrats? Is it making a resurgence?
Nellie Bowles
I think there is a push back towards normalcy. And you see it in, let's say I'm thinking about San Francisco a lot because that's the chapter of the book. But in San Francisco, you had a moderate revolt of people who said enough is enough. And these are San Franciscans, these are all liberals, all progressives and Democrats. And they said enough is enough. And they recalled the progressive district attorney, they recalled the ultra left school board members, and they took back the city. And so I think that you are seeing that in some pockets where people are standing up and saying, enough.
Glenn Beck
Thank you so much. I'm sorry, we're out of time. I would love to do an uninterrupted podcast with you sometime. The book is morning after the revolution. Glenn Beck, let me tell you about relief factor.
In fact, let me tell you about Michelle, who lives in Arizona, and her story on relief. Relief factor. She bought relief factor not for herself, but her, for her husband, for as aches and pains. And sure enough, it worked for him. And Michelle took notice of that. And she started taking, you know, for aches and pains herself at her own job. She cleans houses. She decided, I don't know, maybe I'll give it a try, too. She said it worked for her almost immediately, and it's been helping her and her husband out of pain ever since.
I know what it's like to have your life completely turned upside down by pain and then find something that you may not think will ever work to turn that thing right back in order again. If you're living with aches and pains, see how relief factor, a daily drug free supplement, can help you feel and live better every day. Join the over a million people who have turned relief factor.
Just like Mark and his wife, you can spread. Start feeling better in three weeks or less. Try it relieffactor.com 800 for relief relieffactor.com 1800 the number four relief.

You know, there's some really, actually big news that happened this week.
The World Economic Forum founder and executive chairman Klaus Schwab is going to be stepping back from his role running the global gathering since he founded it in 1971. I don't know. I mean, he's only had since 1971. Has he really had enough time to accomplish all of his goals?
He's going to be stepping down and transitioning to a role as a non executive chairperson.
The change in role is still pending approval by the swiss government, who I just love so very, very much. We are shockingly lucky enough to be able to speak to his son now. And just so you know, he was raised in a in a middle. He was raised, really as a middle class oligarch in a modest little castle in Bavaria. Klaus Schwab junior is with us now to tell us, for instance, what it was like growing up with Klaus Schwab as a dad. Klaus Junior, welcome.
Bill Essayli
Hello, my slave. Glenn Beckinghammings. How are you today?
Glenn Beck
I am good. I'm good.
It's interesting that you would agree to come on this particular program. I'm not sure how your father, you know, feels about people like me or Russell Brand.
Bill Essayli
Well, it's okay to talk to our position. And maybe I can make some conversions onto your side. To my side?
Glenn Beck
Sure, sure. And your side is.
Bill Essayli
Techno fascist dictatorship.
Glenn Beck
Okay. All right.
Bill Essayli
We're making efficiency for making.
Glenn Beck
Right, okay.
Bill Essayli
You're asking of my father, Santa Claus Schwab transitioning. But he will. So just like how the paper, let's be honest, paper money, even monopoly times, has a digitalization of the card.
Glenn Beck
Now, sure.
Bill Essayli
When you play monopoly, so that your dumb kids cannot make the massing to count the paper. Now, this is on card for you, just in the way. Now, you will make digital currency for efficiency, for making. For equitable access of. You will have your taxes out of deduct. So you don't have to get a cumbersome tax audit or anything like this. This will come out of just.
Klaus Schwab's brain is analog at this moment. And it will go to digitalization. So he was just kind of getting the upgrade. It's not really a. It's more of a lateral movement, really.
Glenn Beck
Okay. All right. So he's really kind of going to continue just in a digital kind of way.
Bill Essayli
Yes. I think that, you know, and also he said something about karma. And he does not want to face, like, the Golden Gate, so he will just loophole digitalization.
Glenn Beck
Right, right.
Wasn't.
Was it your father or was it your grandfather that was a Nazi?
Bill Essayli
Labels.
Labels. Okay, labels. The National Socialist Party.
Glenn Beck
Oh.
Bill Essayli
You look back during COVID time. Oh, you're Democrats. You're evil. You know what I mean? It's like, first of all, my great uncle Helmut. Great great uncle Helmut actually died from Auschwitz. People do not know this.
Glenn Beck
Really?
Died in Auschwitz?
Bill Essayli
Yes, he was. Some of the gypsies escaped, and so he was making installation of electric fence, and his foot was in muddy puddle, and he was electrocuted.
Glenn Beck
And that's a pretty tragic family story then. Really?
Bill Essayli
Oh, he was a great man.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah. Who knew? Who knew you had so much in common with the.
With the Jews? So how was your childhood?
You know, with. With Klaus Schwab being your dad?
Bill Essayli
Yes. Well, not always. Great. You know, he always gave me the carrot and the sticks, the silver under lead option. You know, for example, for Christmas side, he would take all of the neighborhood kids who would go into the castle, and some of them were from the lower classes.
And then for Christmas Eve, he would always wear this scary mask and he would not wear as a pants. And then he would always insist on bare bottom spanking of all my friends. And my friends would be like, oh, Santa Claus. Schwab makes spankings on my baton.
Woohoo. They're big. Crying.
But then the next day, he would be playing a harp near the Tannenbaum, the Christmas tree for you.
And then he would give the big gifts, like €10,000, you know, the PlayStation or you get the motorcycle.
They'd be like, well, I don't like this man, but he's not so bad, you know? So it was always, you don't know if he's coming or going.
Glenn Beck
Yes, yes. So what is the role of the world economic? You know, people say they just don't have any power at all because it's just a collection of people that get together.
Bill Essayli
That's really funny.
Good one.
Glenn Beck
Oh, I thought that was actually a question. I mean, you know, how do you respond to that?
Harmeet Dillon
No.
Bill Essayli
Well, we do certain rituals to ensure that we go up the food chain closer and closer and closer to the great architect of the universe, and we are the embodiment to inherit earth incorporated.
Glenn Beck
Right. And then people like, the average people, how are they going to benefit?
Bill Essayli
Well, their slavery will be more like digital token. They will have equitable access to making labor or jails.
Glenn Beck
Okay.
Okay.
Klaus Schwab Junior, thank you very much, I guess, for.
For joining us and telling us about what I have.
Bill Essayli
I'm beefing with you, Glenn Beckingham. We're beefing.
Glenn Beck
You have a beef with me?
Bill Essayli
Yes. I went down to Mercury Studios to make primetime without steining hamlings, and I sat at the front desk. First of all, nobody. There was no trumpets when I arrived.
Okay. Nobody made the feet kissing. Okay? No.
And then, insult to injury, they pointed to the public toilet for me, and I said, no, my pronouns are God, un deity. I will use Glenn Beckingham's toilet.
And they said, no, that's forbidden.
Glenn Beck
Yes.
Bill Essayli
So the next time I see you, Glenn Beckingham, at the Mercury studio, if you're sitting on the throne, I will sit on your lap and make.
Glenn Beck
Okay, well, I think your father has already kind of done that in in his own sort of way with everybody on. On earth. By the way, I want to introduce you to who we're really talking to. Eric. Holler. Holler. Bach.
Who?
Bill Essayli
No, he's loser. No, no, he's my intern.
Glenn Beck
He's your intern?
Really? Yeah, really.
Bill Essayli
I make. I make severe. You know, this friend who's like the beta who, like, no matter how much abusing you make for them, he keeps coming, you know, he's like this man.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Really. Really. And what does he do for you exactly? Because I understood that, you know, Eric's been doing stand up comedy in New York and everywhere else, you know, in screenwriting and things like that. But that's your intern that does that. Yeah.
Bill Essayli
You think this pays? No, no, I pay him under the table. But, you know, he stores adrenochrome for me. He stores his spacesuit, but I keep tabs on him. You know, we have a certain stasi cell in Friedrichsberg, and so I make following of him to make sure my adrenochrome supply is okay. And all this. And you should see.
You should see the heifers he brings home. Oh, my God. I mean, he does not respect himself. For example, he went to the Austin, Texas rodeo. And we make photographs of this to keep track on him. And it was very difficult to tell the difference between the plump, fat, goth, ugly girls that he likes and the cows in the rodeo.
The only way we could tell the difference is the fishnets own the eyeliner. But it was very difficult.
We took it back to the Bundesnachrichtendienst. The Germans, CIA, the Bnd for you.
We need forensic photograph analysis to tell the difference between the cows and the girls he was talking to.
Glenn Beck
Okay. All right. Well, Klaus Schwab junior, thank you so much. Future executive and chairman of the world.
Oh, the World Economic Forum. But I don't know if there's a difference. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
Bill Essayli
Goodbye, my slave.
Glenn Beck
Yes. God bless you, too.

wow. I, you know, talking to, talking to Klaus Schwab junior, you know, I knew his family were Nazis, but I didn't know that that story was really of losing one of the family members in a concentration camp as they were stepping in muddy water and putting together the electric fence. What a tragedy.
You know, not a lot of people remember that. You know, never forget, you know, don't be in water while you're putting the electric fence up.
Stu
Yeah. We have seen recently at college protests a lot of mourning of similar characters.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Stu
And that's. So it's coming back, apparently.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, we have, we really have.
Stu
Good to say. By the way, Eric is at the Vulcan gas company in Austin, Texas, July 11 and September 11, 2024.
Yes, central. If you happen to be in the area, go check him out.
Glenn Beck
He, he plays that role quite well, except when you actually see him do it because he looks, he looks almost like he should be on Duck dynasty. Yeah.
But that's, you know, that's, that's why he was, you know, in, in the, he was a middle class oligarch.
Right. He's kind of one of the trashy ones. Very, very funny. Also on Alix Stein, his program, which you can see on Blaze TV now, not to confuse Charles Schwab with Klaus Schwab.
And I think Charles would probably be, you know, pretty glad I said that. I don't know, maybe not. But Charles Schwab, the CEO, just. Just came out yesterday and said, we put out one of our regular studies, and our client sentiment has changed. Apparently, the clients of Charles Schwab say inflation is now their number one concern.
Wow.
That's weird. That's weird.
I don't even know what that is because it doesn't really exist, does it, Stu? It's not really happening.
Stu
No, no, it's. What was the word they kept using?
Glenn Beck
Transient?
Yeah, transient. Or. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, transient. Meaning that we'll all be transients once it really kicks in.
Stu
And I agree with that analysis, actually.
Glenn Beck
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Stu
Yeah, it's funny because I think it's unlike every, like, if you think about previous presidents going through election cycles, they. If they have to deal with a weak economy, usually that means something like a high unemployment rate. But, like, when you think about a high unemployment rate, that's something that even if it gets to eight or 9%, most people have jobs. Like, most of that problem is people feeling for others who don't have jobs when they do. Most people.
Glenn Beck
Really weird. In that particular case, it means only about 8% of people don't have jobs that are looking for jobs.
Stu
That's good bath, Glenn. You've really nailed that one. Congratulations. That was.
Glenn Beck
Did you work hard?
Stu
Okay.
Glenn Beck
In case anybody didn't notice.
Stu
But the point of that, though, is that, like, when it's inflation, it's not like that. It hits everybody, 100% of people. I mean, even. Even those who are wealthy, you know, see this and are at least angry what they're spending.
Glenn Beck
Oh, and. And, you know, I don't think there's a single american that is well off or wealthier. What? Well, there probably are, because wealthy people sometimes really suck. But there's.
I can't imagine seeing the prices at the store that you might be able to afford, but you're shocked by them and you're pissed off about them and not think I do this every time I go grocery shopping.
How the hell is the average person who makes $55,000 a year making it? How are they making it right now? And the answer is, they're not.
Stu
Have you seen.
Glenn Beck
They're just not.
Stu
Have you seen the credit card debt numbers recently? That's a good, good answer as to how they're making it.
Glenn Beck
And you know what? Have you seen the credit card interest rate lately?
25%. This is such a racket. These banks were bailed out on our tax dollars, and then they just kept getting more, more money. Infused into them, they're perfectly fine. And then when we're on the rocks, they raise the interest rates on us because, well, I don't know if you're really good for that money, and we may not be good for that money, but when is anybody going to bail us out?
Stu
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
I mean, when I say us, I don't really. I don't include me in that category, but I.
Stu
It is. And look, I. I hesitate on some of that because it's like, well, look, they're offering a service. You can decide I do, too, to use their cards or not. It's not. I don't. I'm not a believer in the predatory.
Glenn Beck
Loan idea, but we've already violated capitalism to save capitalism last time, and it only saved them. Speaker one.
Nellie Bowles
Yeah.
Stu
And it wouldn't be. It would be completely clean for me if it wasn't for the bailouts. Right? Like, it's. It's frustrating that, like, all these problems get caused by companies that we wind up bailing them out, and then at the end of the day, we're spending 25% interest on the, you know, the. The Burger King that we purchased last week.
Glenn Beck
It.
Stu
It definitely is a ridiculous thing. Which is why, by the way, you know, Joe Biden has the lowest approval rating in recorded history at this point in his presidency.
Glenn Beck
But strangely, he still might win.
Stu
He's competitive.
Glenn Beck
It. It boggles the mic. How many years did we say we wish we had a businessman that would run our country like a business? Because he could fix it. He does. He fix it. This guy screws it up. And they're like, nah, I don't know. I don't like the way he talks. The Glenn Beck program.
