Glenn Beck
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Thanks so much. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
We're going to show you one of the most dangerous, the most dangerous kind of thinking for a democracy or for a republic or for any society that wishes to be free and wishes to think for themselves.
It's a cute little story from CNN. We'll share that with you in just a second. Tell you why it matters as well. Let me tell you about Mark, who lives in Washington and his relief factor story. Mark was involved in a bad injury.
He afterward found himself living with daily nagging back pain. Even worse, it often came with a side odor of pain and numbness in his leg. I love that, don't you, Pat? Awesome.
Pat Gray
Love it.
Glenn Beck
That's the best. He was desperate for some kind of relief, something drug free. Thankfully, he found relief factor and the pain went from unbearable to minimal. And a blessing, he said, noting that he loves the fact that he can adjust how much he's taking according to what he needs, you know, for managing his aches and pains. I've been where Mark was, and I tell you, it worked for me. It doesn't work for everybody, Pat, I think you took it. It didn't work for you. Right, right.
Yeah.
But it doesn't work for, they don't claim that. It's 70% of the people who try it go on to order more month after month. I'm one of them. You can be one like me and Mark and be out of pain. 800 for relief. 800 the number relief. Save on your first order. 800 the number four. Reliefrelieffactor.com now, I want to share something with you, and I want to show you one of the most dangerous articles and irresponsible so called journalists that I, that I know. And I mean, I know him. He worked at the blaze for quite some time, and then he went to CNN and his name is Oliver Darcy. And I don't know what happened to Oliver, but he has gone very, very dark and is a danger to our democracy. Now with that being said, our republic, with that being said, I would, I cheer on that. Oliver Darcy can say what he wants to say.
I think it is irresponsible.
I think he is. Well, let me just read the article and you'll see. Okay.
CNN Ticketmaster under fire for promoting Tucker Carlson's conspiracy laden tour.
Now, Ticketmaster under fire from whom?
Ticketmaster is linking arms with right wing extremists, boosting their ability to reach mainstream audiences and profiting off their dangerous and hateful rhetoric ahead of the November election.
Ticketing sales giant is the distributor of the forthcoming live speaking tour from Tucker Carlson, who announced plans this week to crisscross the country with a 15 city arena tour, inviting fellow conspiracy theorists such as Alex Jones and Marjorie Taylor Greene to join him along the way.
Yeah, in two cities. Those are the guests. I'm a guest in another city. Megyn Kelly is a guest in another city.
Yeah. I don't know what to tell you. I'm sorry. You think they're all so dangerous and their voices should be silenced.
So what is he doing so far?
Listen. On Ticketmaster website, Carlson is referred to as the leading voice in America politics and an alternative to corporate media dedicated to telling the truth about things that matter clearly and without fear. So he's doing a couple of things here. First of all, he is attacking Ticketmaster. The approach is not to just say you shouldn't go, and here's why. The approach is go after Ticketmaster.
Force Ticketmaster through pressure campaigns to drop Carlson. He is then also making his reality and his opinion, your opinion, America's opinion, the only correct opinion that Carlson is not one of the leading voices in american politics. He absolutely is.
And an alternative to corporate media dedicated to telling the truth about things that matter clearly and without fear. That's what he sets out to do. And he is an alternative to corporate media and speak without fear.
Yeah. You know what? You have to fear people like Oliver Darcy smearing you and making you into a monster.
He does it anyway because he doesn't care.
While it's hard to imagine that Ticketmaster conjured this glowing description of Carlson itself, it's remarkable that the company would approve of it and promote it on its site.
This is the ESG mentality.
This is the way business will be done in the future in this new corporate public private partnership with our governments. This is the way things will be done. You will be shamed into doing something.
That's because there's not a morsel of truth to how Ticketmaster is presenting Carlson to its customer.
Wow. Not a morsel of truth. Carlson, a former mainstream conservative who over the course of Donald Trump's pregnancy presidency, traveled to the fringes of american politics, has for years promoted dangerous disinformation and damaging conspiracy theories. Carlson lied about the Covid-19 vaccines.
Did he?
Did he?
He discouraged his fans from receiving the life saving shots.
Okay, well, that's kind of looking like a smart move at this point. He so doubt about the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
Well, wait a minute. What is CNN doing every time they have Hillary Clinton on or Al Gore on or anybody else?
Don't, don't you often have, what's her name, the governor of Georgia? Isn't she often on CNN sewing conspiracy theories that she lost the election in Georgia?
And then he reprehensibly peddled the false notion that January 6 insurrection was a so called false flag operation staged by the deep state.
Okay, he pedaled that theory. What, what does that mean exactly? Peddled that theory that, by the way, all the things that he's pointing out here seem to be more and more true.
I don't know. There's still theories haven't been proven. But in America, in a free society, you must be allowed to conjure up theories like, hey, the sun doesn't revolve around the earth.
Controversial at the time, not controversial. Now.
If you are not allowed to question the official narrative of what's happening in your society, you do not have a free society.
And as I pointed out, more and more of these things seem to be true. And you have to go back and say, all right, who's telling me this? Do they have any credibility at all?
I always tell you, I don't ask for your trust. I don't ask for it ever. I want you to listen to me as a different opinion that brings different facts to the table. But I don't want you to just take my word for it. I encourage you. Last night, I did another show, and I put all of the information, all of the facts, all of the original documents there on Glenn Beck.com. so you could do your own homework and you could decide, it is in a free society essential that you question in this case. Now, more and more, the government slash, uh, media narrative, uh, the hunter Biden laptop, does that come to mind? That's a conspiracy theory. The New York Times still cannot admit that that's really his, the russian Trump bank link. Link that, you know, he was, he was pinging a bank from, right? That was all false. CNN reported on that. The Steele dossier, the masks, you gotta have the masks. The Covid-19 it will stop it in its track. You will kill people if you don't have the vaccine, by the way, let alone everything that the governor of New York was doing with his brother on CNN.
But those aren't dangerous conspiracy theories. No, those are truths that we still kind of think are true, but we're not going to look into them.
Their own people are afraid to look into things because they can't. What they'll find is they're being duped. At best.
They are partners in duping America, most likely.
In addition, he says, to those corrosive lies, Carlson has been one of the top promoters of the great replacement theory, an idea favored by white supremacists that falsely accuses the Democratic Party and wealthy jewish figures such as George Soros. Okay, so now he's making his victim here. He is making Carlson into a white supremacist and anti jewish because he talks about George Soros. Let me tell you, the only person in this narrative that is anti jewish is George Soros.
They, the theory is that they're importing third world migrants into the US to shift the country's demographics to win elections.
That's a corrosive lie.
No, that's a theory.
You can, you can look at it that way. I personally don't think that that's what that is. I personally think they're doing it to collapse the entire west.
For his repugnant promotion of such lies, the New York Times noted that while Carlson was at Fox News, he constructed what may be the most racist show in the history of cable news. Well, I'm glad I don't have that now.
Thank you, Tucker. Thank you, New York Times, for releasing me from the position of the most racist, hateful show ever on cable news.
Ultimately, Carson grew, Carlson grew to be too much of a problem for even Fox News. Where have I read this for?
Ask the ask for comment this week? Representatives for the Live nations subsidiary. Okay, notice this. First, it's Ticketmaster.
But if you can't get Ticketmaster, go to its corporate master, Live nation.
So not getting any answer from Ticketmaster, I'm going to go to their parent company.
And they chose not to respond. So now it's Ticketmaster and Live Nation.
In fairness to the company's public relations division, it is difficult to see how they could defend such conduct. How could any decent person not only participate in enabling Carson Carlson's poisoning of the public discourse, but also justify profiting off of his hateful rhetoric in the process?
We posed that question. Now, Ticketmaster, Live Nation, we pose those questions to the venues hosting Carlson, the Honda Center, T Mobile Center, Delta Center, Dickey's Arena, Intrust Bank arena, and others.
The spokespeople didn't respond.
These are uneasy questions that major businesses will be confronted with in the years ahead.
As I said at the beginning, this is the ESG plan as the republican party veers further and further toward the fringe.
Let me ask you something. Who is fringe? The one that says, I believe in the absolute right for freedom of speech.
I believe in the right that you can question the government, you can question authority, and you have a right to your opinion.
That's called the first amendment here in America.
So am I fringe or Oliver Darcy and people like him on the left that are saying, no, you don't have a right to freedom of speech? We do.
Okay.
Companies with basic ethics should, of course, reject doing business with dishonest figures who profit by dumping toxic waste into the country's information environment.
Well, you know, Oliver, be careful what you wish for, because that sounds like you, by doing so, puts them at risk of being targeted by those very same people like Trump, who have tremendous sway over the vast majority of Republicans. And a lightning rod for painful boycotts.
Hmm. Okay, wait a minute.
Painful boycotts? Now, again, he goes back to threatening businesses. But while the politics of 24 make for thorny business environment for companies to navigate from an ethics perspective, and he knows ethics, the questions that lie before them come with clear and obvious answers. Those uncomfortable decisions risk catapulting them squarely in to the center of the information wars, where grifters like Carlson thrive.
You know, I don't agree with everything Tucker Carlson says. I certainly don't agree with anything that Oliver Darcy now has become and says, but I don't want him shut down. I don't want a boycott of CNN.
I'd like people to recognize reality. You know, American Airlines and all you big businesses. Why are you advertising on CNN?
Literally no one is watching.
So what is it that you're trying to signal and to whom? Because it's clearly not the american people. Because the american people aren't seeing their ads.
I don't want them boycotted or anything else. I don't want Oliver Darcy to be silenced.
I just think that someone with a different opinion should have the right to say, this guy's a jackass.
This guy is trying to use absolutely every tool in the Sololinski book. This is. This article is 100% Solilinsky.
He's using every Solilinski tool in the. In the book.
To do what?
To create fear in the corporate world. To create fear with you. To create fear of Tucker Carlson and anyone like him and anyone who has a different opinion. You should fear and push away from you.
The opposite is what you should do for a free nation. You should listen to other people's points of view and then decide for yourself who has credibility here? Who doesn't? Back in a minute.
There's a house somewhere out there right now. And it's not just a house. It is the house, the house for you and your family. But it is hard right now. It is so hard. Not too big, not too small. It's the Goldilocks zone of houses.

If you don't have freedom of speech, the freedom to question, then you are going to stagnate, and as a society, die.
This fundamental right allows you to express your thought, your opinion, without fear of censorship or persecution.
That way, innovation and progress can flourish. Know anyone who says, I'm for. I'm for. Progress, could possibly be for, uh, the end of freedom of speech and questioning.
Any company that just says, just do it.
I don't want to hear your ideas. That's not a company that is going to innovate anything, by the way, historically speaking, most of the ideas that brought us to truth seemed crazy or were deemed dangerous at the time. And those are the ones that profoundly shaped our understanding of the world and propelled humanity forward.
The earth is flat.
No, it's not, said Magellan.
No, and I think I can prove that I'm going the other way, said Columbus.
That was dangerous.
How about the sun revolves around the earth?
That's the way the government at the time, the church, believed things were.
What happened?
Well, no. A couple people said, no, I think it's the exact opposite. Copernicus and Galileo, they had that revolutionary idea. They supported it. And what happened? Galileo had some kind of severe consequences from the catholic church in 1633, tried by the inquisition, faced torture. Wait a minute, hang on. The inquisition, what was that? A quasi government organization, a public private partnership decided you can't question. And if you do question, then you're ours. We can shut you up, kill you or torture you.
All right, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Carshield. Trying to make it to the breakdown lane in the middle of morning traffic is not the best time, you know, to suddenly realize, crap, I don't have coverage for whatever just started smoking beneath my hood. That check engine light that came on that you ignored a few weeks ago.
Yeah. Should have been a tip off, but it wasn't because you knew you were in trouble because you didn't have any coverage on your car and it was going to be really expensive.

Pat Gray
With election night right around the corner.
Glenn Beck
Can we trust the system?
Pat Gray
Sarah Gonzalez and the blaze original team find out. Don't miss voter fraud exposed, how elections can be stolen only on blaze tv.
Glenn Beck
There are so many things that we have to get to today.
Russian warships have docked in Cuba. I keep getting emails from friends going, is that true? Yeah. Yeah, that's true. You should probably pay attention to the world. That's. That's absolutely true.
Record prices now. Gold, coffee, copper, cocoa.
You look at the news in our show prep today, they talk about, well, you know, the Fed says they got this under control and maybe it looks like they don't know. You know who the Fed doesn't have under control is the spending at the United States government. The United States government is printing $1 trillion every 100 days. $1 trillion every 100 days. Just put that in your pipe and smoke it for a minute.
What do you think is going to happen to inflation when they're dumping $100 trillion, I'm sorry, $1 trillion into the economy every 100 days?
Of course we're going to have inflation and it's only going to get worse. But it's, it's, you know, it's so amazing that we, we keep looking for answers from the people who caused the problem.
You know, people still look at the New York Times and go, oh, you know, New York Times. Well, what, what do they say? What do you, what do you mean, what do they say? How does the New York Times have any credibility at this point?
They were, you know, leading the way. They still can't admit the hunter Biden thing. They still can't admit it.
What?
How, how, you know, you're, you're, you were peddling the nonsense that that was russian disinformation, and you, you weren't even offended by it when you found out that that wasn't true, you weren't even offended. You didn't ask the people who told you, you know, in the intel industry.
You didn't say, hey, dude, you really led me astray on this one.
How do these people have any credibility?
Pat Gray
There's a time list about that. How about the Economist just did a story on how conservatives are short changed by the New York Times bestseller list. Course, this is something you've been going through for decades now.
We've known about this for a long time, and it's a much worse problem than the Economist even knows. I mean, they say that their analysis found that books published by conservative printing houses are 7% less likely to make it onto the New York Times weekly bestseller list.
It's a lot worse than that.
Glenn Beck
It's a lot worse than that. I mean, I said this example earlier, that my last book, which was not the great reset, it was dark future. When dark future came out, we sold twice the number of books I think was dark future. It might have been great reset. I can't remember twice the number of books as the, the author that was given the number one status. And it used to be that they would hold you out of the number one slot.
You know, they might make you two or three if it was even close. But if it was that different in the old days, you'd still get the number one spot. Now, I went from double the sales of the people they put in number one, and I made 15th on the list.
Pat Gray
I mean, how do they justify that? That's crazy.
Glenn Beck
Their own algorithms. Their own algorithms?
Pat Gray
Yeah. Don't they? Wait. Certain bookstores, more than others, is that part of their deal?
Glenn Beck
Stores? Yeah, but they're also. But that. That's not enough. To do what? That. What happened there. That's just not enough.
You know, they have their own agenda, and that's fine. I just wish they would be open about it. You know what I mean?
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Stop lying to people and saying that. That is, you know, book scan is the real number one. Number two, number three, you know what I mean? It just scans the books that are sold still, however, you know, sold, you know, through the traditional things. For instance. I don't care about this anymore.
And we are doing everything we can with Mercury, Inc. To print and distribute ourselves, and we still can't get away from a big publishing house distributing because it's just. It's almost a monopoly at this point. You just don't have the ability to distribute into bookstores.
And then Amazon takes 50%.
I mean, did you do 50% of the work? Amazon? Really?
Pat Gray
Wow.
Glenn Beck
I just don't find that reasonable at all. But they're Amazon. So we're selling my latest book, chasing embers, through Glenn beck.com, which will not go through book scan. Will not do, you know, any of.
Pat Gray
The logged by New York Times won't.
Glenn Beck
Be logged by the New York Times or anybody.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Because we're not a part of book scan. So. And I don't care. I really don't care. I want to. I'm tired of putting my money and my effort and, and then putting it into institutions that are trying to kill us. Do you remember, Pat, when we used to go on tour bookstores and how many hostile bookstores we would walk into?
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
That just.
Most found me. Yeah. Found me despicable.
But they did it because they knew they'd sell a lot of books.
Pat Gray
Yep.
Glenn Beck
Just tired of it.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Don't have to do it. Don't have to do it.
Pat Gray
It's interesting because in this, in this economist article, they say that leading conservative authors like you and Bill O'Reilly are frequently listed on the New York Times bestseller nonfiction list. But less prominent writers have a more difficult time making the cut. Yeah. And like you just explained, though, while you're on the list, you're not where you should be on the list. It's not accurate because they fudge even those numbers.
Glenn Beck
So, you know, because you probably think this is a lot of whining about, you know, trophies. It's not the New York Times. If you get in the top ten New York Times, then your book is automatically put in every airport.
It's automatically put in the front of the stores. Otherwise, it just kind of languishes on a back shelf someplace. So. And that's what they want. That's why they don't put, you know, that's why the great reset and dark future could not be a top ten best seller. It had to be 15.
It could not be a top ten. Why?
Because then it would get the exposure that they didn't want it to have. So it's, it's not, it's, you know, by the New York Times doing this. It's not about money and it's not bragging rights.
It is, it is about exposure and having your book placed in places like airports where people go in to buy a book and they're going to, you know, go take a flight or take a vacation, and they'll see your book. They'll carry ten, the top ten best sellers. And if you're not in that, you don't, you're not seen, so you don't get discovered.
That's the problem. And nobody's really, nobody's really articulated that. They make it seem like it's a, I don't know, it's petty, that it's a, I want to be on a top, top ten New York Times bestseller list because that says something about me.
It says nothing about anybody.
Let's see, California's minimum wage, the $20 minimum wage for fast food workers.
Yeah, kind of putting people out of business.
First of all, McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, hiked prices to offset the higher cost.
Who would have seen that coming? I mean, how many times does it take before people understand basic economics?
The price of the goods or service goes up when it costs the company that is providing those goods or services, when it costs them more to get that to you, they raise the price.
That's the way business works. Communism doesn't work that way. Communism, it just, they just do what they want to do and price doesn't matter. And that's why you have crappy stuff, you have crappy distribution and supermarkets that, you know, I would feel safer, I'd feel safer in the streets in eating the food off the streets in China than I would in Venezuela, in the grocery store.
Pat Gray
It's a really hard decision, too, for a lot of businesses. I have a small business, and when the price of the ingredients goes up for a while, you just eat that cost, you know, and then eventually you can't any longer. You can't. So when butter goes from $70 for the, for the, in the volume that we buy it in, from $70 to 143, then eventually that price is going to go up, you know?
Glenn Beck
Well, that's the same thing. We talk about this at the blaze all the time. You know me, Pat, I hate, because I grew up in radio, which is free, I hate charging for stuff. I go, I would so gladly go on tour and not make a dime if I didn't have to pay the money. I wouldn't charge people to come in. And I'm always arguing, can we get the price lower? Can we get the price lower? Because I remember, and so do you, what it's like when you are on the edge.
And I don't want to, I hope to God I'm not there again.
But there's a chance that all of us are there again. And it kills me. It just kills me. And I think that the owners of stores and makers of products that actually see the end user, I don't think Nike doesn't care. You know what I mean? They don't care.
There are companies that actually care about the end user. And think about them.
We're one of those people. And every time we're, I mean we pay above industry standard at the blaze, okay, we're either competitive or just above industry standard. Well you can't live on industry standard now, but what do you do?
You keep raising it so everybody, and then not raising the price. And then if you raise the price then the customers can't afford it and it goes away. And the whole thing, this is what every business is going through right now.
And you know, I really, I will be, I will absolutely be convinced that this is a fraudulent election. If for the first time in history the, the economy doesn't play the major role.
Look at can, can America survive another four years? Can you survive another four years going down this road? Can you, can you afford it? Just let's ask that. Can Americans afford another four years? Because everything is going up. You're not able to buy a house. You're not able to get a loan on anything that is reasonable and it is only going to get much, much worse. And I don't know if you saw the jobs report yesterday.
So in the jobs report, the, the Fed, Chief Powell came out and said, yeah, these, these jobs reports there, the books are being cooked a bit.
Wait, what?
All of the jobs that have been created are part time jobs, and I shouldn't say all the vast majority are part time jobs and almost no american citizens are getting the jobs that are actually being reported as being created.
It's almost all illegal aliens now.
What? Gee, I mean, you know, you hear, well, it was pretty good jobs report. Yeah. For illegal aliens.
Can you afford another four years of this?
Okay, now I know you think that dad wants that 500th pair of socks or that 900th flashlight or tie for father's day, but no, what dad would really like. Meat. Delicious, all american, top shelf meat.

This is this. Amazing. When you look at the job market and you know what you're looking for, the Fed chair Powell, head of the Fed, admitted yesterday that Biden was rigging the jobs data. And when you say rigging the data, wait until you hear the establishment survey. It reported 272,000 jobs were added. Okay, this number included multiple job holders. If you take the people out for that are taking on two or three jobs, you get the number of actual employed workers plunging by 408,000.
408,000 down.
It hasn't, it hasn't made, it hasn't, it hasn't gone up. It is flatlined or gone down in May alone.
When you take the part time worker and you say these are part time jobs, and then the elimination of full time jobs. Part time jobs in May were 200 and some. And the lost 286 part time jobs and 500, sorry, 625,000 full time jobs lost in May. So everything that's being created is a part time job.
We are hemorrhaging full time jobs in America. We've lost 1.2 million full time jobs. The Glenn Beck program, you know that emergencies usually come as a surprise, right?

Coming up, Sarah Gonzalez. We have a really good documentary that she has just finished on voter fraud.
And it is tough, but if you know the reality, then maybe we can do something about it. But voter fraud is going to be a problem this time around. Sarah is here to tell us what she found in the new documentary.
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment, entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
I don't know if you know this. I didn't. After 2016 in Michigan, when Trump won Michigan, after that election, they went in and completely changed the way the voting system worked in Michigan. Not gonna let that happen again, I'll tell you that right now. So after 16, after 2020, has anything changed? The election's right around the corner. Both sides are saying, you know, can we trust the system? Both sides, whoever wins is going to say the other side is just a sore loser because now no one trusts the voting system.
Is it secure?
Blaze TV has a new documentary out. Voter fraud exposed. How elections can be stolen.
If you don't, you're not a subscriber to Blaze TV. You're going to want to be to see just this documentary, voter fraud exposed. Sarah Gonzalez went out all over the country and she talked to the people that, you know, either are or were running the states and looked into what's been done since 2020. Is it good or bad? And what do we do about it? She joins us in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about american financing. American financing is now saving their customers an average of $825 a month. That's $10,000 a year.
What kind of a change would that make in your life if you had an extra 10,000? Your boss came in today and said, I'll give you a $10,000 raise.
Inflation is up 24%. Your dollar has lost 24% of its value in its purchasing power since 2020.
So your dollar of 2020 is now only able to purchase seventy five cents, and that's not going to buy you a lot.
So if you're in trouble and you've been putting things on credit card, then your rates keep going higher and higher and higher. The average credit card now is over 25%, some as high as 35%. You're never going to be able to pay that off. If you own a home. Would you please call american financing? It's not right for everybody, but it might be the thing that saves you and your house. American Financing, 8090 624 40. Ask them about, well, just tell them your finances and your problem, and they have experts there that can help work things out for you. It's American Financing, 8090 624 40 or americanfinancing.net nmls 182334, nmlsconsumeraccess.org dot apr for rates in the five starts at 6.799%. For well qualified borrowers, call 8090 624 40 for details about credit costs and terms.
Blaze TV host of Sarah Gonzalez unfiltered it was really hard. We started with the name and then we're like, we got to find a Sarah Gonzalez to be able to do this show. We might have thought about doing it a different way, but we found her and she's perfect. She is the perfect Sarah Gonzalez to host unfiltered.
Sarah, welcome to the program. How are you?
Stand up straight
Thank you. Thanks for having me. I'm good. I consider that job security. Glenn, you're not going to find another Sarah Gonzalez. And we've already named the show.
Glenn Beck
So, yeah, we looked. We looked. So anyway, you're doing another Blaze original. We've all been doing this. This is episode five.
The documentary is called voter fraud exposed how elections can be stolen. I have to tell you, I saw a rough cut of it. I don't even know, a couple weeks ago.
Oh, my gosh. Sarah.
Stand up straight
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Oh, my gosh.
Stand up straight
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Just Michigan alone is, I mean, you sat down with the woman who was the secretary of state, right?
Stand up straight
Yes. Yeah.
Glenn Beck
And she, I believe she was replaced by a secretary of state that was part of the George Soros thing, correct, correct.
Stand up straight
Jocelyn Benson. Yes.
Glenn Beck
Uh huh. And give people a clue on just Michigan.
Stand up straight
Sure. So, yes, in 2018, Jocelyn Benson replaced Ruth Johnson. Ruth Johnson was a, you know, Republican who more importantly, was interested in doing the right thing when it came to, you know, protecting the voter rolls and keeping them secure and fresh and, you know, dated. And so, or I should say, you know, not outdated. And so what Jocelyn Benson did, she is, as you pointed out, Soros funded. She is former SPLC. Just to give you an idea of who she is and what she's about.
Sarah Gonzalez
Yeah.
Stand up straight
And so she is one of these.
Glenn Beck
In case you don't know, that, that southern poverty law center, which is the worst of the worst.
Stand up straight
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Okay, go ahead.
Stand up straight
Yeah. So she is part of the secretary of state project that George Soros is funding. So she comes in to the state of Michigan and she tries to allow Michigan to count ballots that were received after election day. She was luckily sued and lost that battle. But since then, we've had ballot referendums that you can have same day registration. This is proposition three in Michigan. You can have same day registration and you can register without showing a photo id in the state of Michigan. And your vote counts. Yes, yes, yes.
Glenn Beck
I mean, you need a photo id for anything. Everything except for the most important thing a citizen can do.
Stand up straight
Right. Right. And, well, and we point out in the documentary, it's like, like, if I were not just in the state of Michigan, but I would imagine most other states and cities, if you go to your local library, you can't get a library card without showing your id. It is insane that you shouldn't have to show your id in order to participate in the voting process. And by the way, this is something else we point out. It's like almost 80% of Americans, both left and right, agree that you should have to show a photo id in order to vote. This is not a partisan thing.
Glenn Beck
I go down the street from our ranch, there's a big lake across the street, and I have to go about, I don't know, 5 miles to this little crate, little kind of general store.
I had to get a. I had to get a fishing license.
I needed id.
Everybody in there knows who I am. I needed id to be able to get a fishing license.
Pat Gray
You guys see Texas representative Wesley hunt talk about this?
Stand up straight
No.
Pat Gray
Yesterday. It's brilliant. He shows all of his government issued. He's black. He shows all of his government issued ids, including a driver's license and, you know, a passport. And he's got like six different forms of id showing how insulting it is that the left is saying that blacks don't have id. It's ridiculous.
Stand up straight
Well, this will give you kind of a clue into how sinister this, you know, this initiative is, is that Republicans in the state of Michigan, actually, they had a bill that they passed that was going to expand and allow free photo id for people. So there would be no excuse to say, well, it's too expensive. And, you know, the idea is that minorities can't afford it. I guess which is inherently racist.
Pat Gray
And we've been told they don't know where the DMV is.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Stand up straight
Right. Which, again, seems a little racist to assume, but. So Governor Gretchen Whitmer actually vetoed that bill.
Pat Gray
Oh, geez.
Stand up straight
Just to give you an idea of where, I mean, what possible reason, as our friend Steve days likes to say, what is the innocent, benign explanation for vetoing such legislation?
There isn't one.
Glenn Beck
So they, they can't even now, because of this new legislation, they can't even ask for id.
Stand up straight
Correct.
Glenn Beck
So you go in, right to the voting booth.
You want to go into the voting booth? You go in and you say, my name's Glenn Beck. And, you know, they'll probably, maybe, I don't even know. Do they ask for an address? And they look you up if you're on the rolls or in the case of Michigan, you can now just register. You can go in and say, I'm not registered. I want to register right now. But none of it is hooked up to the Internet, so they can't verify anything.
Stand up straight
Right.
Glenn Beck
And so you can go in and register and then just get a ballot and vote.
Pat Gray
What could go wrong?
Glenn Beck
What could wrong? What could possibly go wrong?
Stand up straight
You know, and it's always from the left who claims that they care so much about democracy, which is just so laughable at this point. Not that we have a democracy, but if you did care about democracy and you did care, you know, about the state of your country, you would want election integrity and security. That would be at the top of your list. And instead, they are trying to, you know, in the state of Michigan. I'll go back to Michigan again. In the state of Michigan, they now have a constitutional right to vote by mail. I mean, you are talking about such an outdated system. I think France banned it in, like, 1975. France uses paper. All of these other first world countries, civilized countries, have decided that mail in voting is terrible, a horrible way of doing things.
Glenn Beck
Of course it is.
Stand up straight
Jimmy Carter co authored a bipartisan report that said, we cannot have mail in voting because it makes it more likely to, you know, to have fraud and all sorts. I mean, this was something that we all agreed upon decades ago. And now all of a sudden, there are states that are run by these left wing secretary of state, you know, secretaries of state, and they are going in and changing the system to allow these types of things.
Glenn Beck
Let me ask you, let me ask the average, the average person you're driving in your car, and you hear about Glenn's bank say that you knew a Glenn that had any kind of credibility at all.
And we, yeah, we invite you in to put your money in our bank and we're going to make it easy for you to write checks. We're going to make it easy for you to come in, withdraw your money.
We're never going to ask you for id.
Would you put your money in that bank?
Stand up straight
Absolutely not. Absolutely not.
Glenn Beck
So why would we do this with elect on anything? On anything. It's crazy.
So give me some white pill news, can you?
Stand up straight
Yeah, I think so. I mean, everyone will see when they go and watch this new blaze originals that they can go watch right now. They will see some hope in the sense that there are organizations that are working around the clock to prevent these types of things from happening. They are largely successful in the courts. One of them is, of course, PilF, the public interest legal foundation. I spoke with them. They are suing the crap out of these states and out of these secretaries of states who are engaging in this business. They are suing about the, you know, all of the dead people on the voter rolls in the state of Michigan. The RNC is now suing the state of Michigan for the, you know, it's just that there's 105% of Michigan population that's currently registered to vote. And, you know, I'm not great at math, but I'm good enough to know that there's something a little bit wrong with that, so.
Glenn Beck
Right. It's, it's hard to have 105% of anything. You know what I mean?
Stand up straight
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
I'm going to have 105% of that pie over there.
Wow, that's a skill. Right?
Stand up straight
So, I mean, you know, in talking to these experts, they say vote, don't be discouraged and not vote because we can still blow them out. We can still overwhelm the system and we should. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Knowledge is power. I mean, we are exposing these people for what they are doing, and the more exposure that we can give them, the less likely it is that they are able to just commit this in broad daylight. And like I said, we have these, these legal foundations who are suing these states. And in most cases, in a lot of cases, they are largely successful in that. So if Secretary of state Benson isn't going to remove dead people from her voter rolls until the courts force her to, well, you know what? At the end of the day, she's still going to be forced to remove these people. So we are making moves. We have organizations that are tackling this, but we have to expose this for what it really is.
Glenn Beck
I will tell you, I think that there is a, a good chance that a landslide does happen.
I mean, I just can't imagine going into the booth and you being a Democrat and pulling the lever for more of this and saying, yeah, I want, I know. And I think Joe Biden is the guy to trust with possible World War three. I think he's got the economy right. I think, you know, all of the things that he has done, you might pull it for RFK junior or Trump, but I just cannot see people voting for him. And, and honestly, when people ask themselves, am I, am I, was I better off four years ago? Like a lot better off, the answer is yes.
And, you know, we've always asked, I wish somebody would just run this place like a business. Well, that's, that's what Donald Trump was doing. And look at the results until Covid happened. So go out and vote. I think if everybody, they're going to try to black pill you, but if, if you don't listen to that and you go out and vote, I think the numbers will be overwhelming.
But what do I know?
Stand up straight
Well, I would tell you this too, Glenn. There are certain states that have already passed election integrity, you know, and voter security laws. So states like Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Florida. I mean, the more states that are passing these voter integrity laws, which I know the left will tell you is racist and they'll tell you they're, they're not allowing you to drink water in line. And all of these other laws, the fact of the matter is these are states that are making elections more secure. And, you know, we can have other states follow suit in that.
Glenn Beck
All right. Blaze original episode number five, voter fraud exposed, how elections can be stolen. It's a new doc, and it's out. Now, if you are a blaze tv subscriber, if you're not, go to Blaze tV.com.
glenn. And what is the promo code? Is it voter fraud?
Stand up straight
Voter fraud, yes.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, voter fraud.
And you can watch it now. It's available on Blaze tv. Sarah, thank you so much.
Stand up straight
Thank you.
Glenn Beck
Back in just a second. 1st, you know, the terror attacks on October 7, ever since that happened, anti semitism has become, I mean, Pat, we have talked about anti semitism happening in our country for I don't know how many years.
I can't believe how fast we have just become this anti semitic country that is like. Yeah, yeah, so what? They're just saying they want to kill all the Jews. I mean, this is why I've partnered with the international fellowship of Christians and Jews. And today I'm coming to ask you to stand with the IFCJ and just take a pledge, raise your voice.
You, you can be as important as an Oscar Schindler or Corey ten boom were. You have to just take the first step. And that is pledge, pledge that we will stand with our jewish brothers and sisters to never be silent. You don't have to be for this war against this war. It doesn't matter.
Just when, when they start coming for the Jews this time, will christians stand up and say, nope, I will not be silent. Show the jewish people that they are not alone. I can't imagine being jewish in even America. Today for the month of June, we're just asking christians to sign the pledge, which will be delivered to the president of Israel, will show that christians in America not only stand in solidarity, but they're speaking up as well. Let's make that stand today with the international fellowship of Christians and Jews. You can sign the pledge. Go to support ifcj.org support ifcj.org dot take a stand today.
10 seconds. Station id so coming this weekend, wherever you get your podcast, the first two episodes of my brand new podcast series, the Beck Story, is in the back story, but it's Beck, I guess it's a historical podcast that I've been wanting to do for a very long time. This podcast is, I think, six or eight parts, and it is finally rolling out this Saturday. The first two episodes, the pilot, which aired a year ago, will be coming out, and then right after that, you'll get both episodes. Episode number two, this is something that will explain, how did we get here? Why do we keep not listening to ourselves, but listen to the experts?
How did this happen?
It was the progressive movement and it was also the movement of science. And soon as we said, oh, we're scientific, we can, you know, eugenics, and we can measure how everything and how long it should take a person to build a house or build a car.
The experts took a sledgehammer to our constitutional system of government.
Far reaching consequences. We take you through all of the experts and how we got here.
It is really amazing. We're digging into eugenics, government surveillance, judicial activism, how education and the media became dominated by the left and so much more. Each episode is jam packed with true stories of our past that you probably have never heard before. I didn't know a lot of the stories that are in this until we started doing research on it. The series is chock full of fascinating history that, you know, you're not going to, you're not going to get on the History Channel. I can promise you that you can catch the first episode of the Beck story on Friday night. That's the pilot episode that we tested last summer. You can also watch it on my YouTube channel. Episode two is about Madison Grant, one of the most uninfluential fathers in eugenics.
It was embraced by the progressives as legitimate science. It is still the science that the progressives in many ways, still hold on to.
It was embraced by the Nazis as well.
You will hear its sinister roots and how it affects us today, because the experts tell us it's so. Don't miss the backstory. My new history podcast series, available this weekend. Wherever you get your podcast.
Oh, my gosh, Pat, we have. I feel like we haven't even. Even begun to talk about everything that is happening in. In the world. Did you see the householding attorney general Gar Garland in contempt?
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
And they're threatening to. Out to.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
It's not gonna happen.
Pat Gray
I say nothing's gonna come with that. Nothing.
Glenn Beck
Nothing's gonna.
Pat Gray
They like to throw this out for, you know, showman purposes, but nothing ever comes of it. Holding him in contempt of Congress is a good move, but to actually have him arrested, that's not gonna happen.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And look, holding him, contempt of Congress, you know, that. That doesn't seem to work.
It doesn't do anything for people on the left. Instead, what it does is it puts people like Steve Bannon in jail. Yeah, because he was in contempt of Congress.
So was the. The other guy that was with Trump. He went to jail for contempt of Congress. But Holder, he never went to jail.
Pat Gray
No.
Glenn Beck
No one on the left ever pays for that, and they won't this time.

Pat Gray
Out my show pac ray unleashed every weekday, seven and nine Eastern, six to eight, live or anytime, anywhere you get your podcast.
Glenn Beck
I want to introduce you to a very good friend, first of all, Pat Gray. I want to thank Patrick for sitting in for stu for the next few days.
But I also want to introduce you to Nathan Nipper. He's one of the chief writers of the television program.
Fondly. We like to call it the Glenn Beck tv thing.
That's its official name. But he is also the writer and researcher for the new podcast that the Beck story. And it's unbelievable, Nathan, what you did with that. Unbelievable.
I learned so much, and I know you did, too, researching. Yeah, absolutely.
But you also have a new book, and I don't know exactly how you have done the podcast, the writing on the show, and a really good book.
Nathan Nipper
Oh, well, thank you.
It's not easy. I don't recommend it.
But, you know, and it's also, obviously, I enjoy it to a certain extent or I wouldn't do it. But it's, it was a, it's a hobby, you know, on the side as well, this fiction writing. And so over time, if you do it a little bit, you got a book.
Glenn Beck
Right, right. And I'm sure chat GPT helps you write the tv show.
Nathan Nipper
You wouldn't believe how much it helped.
Glenn Beck
Okay, so tell the story. I think this is a fascinating book because when I first started reading it, I'm like, wait, what? Because it starts in, is it Berkeley or San Francisco?
Nathan Nipper
San Francisco, yeah.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And it's eye bleed. Agonizing liberals would recognize it as, oh, home.
Nathan Nipper
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Tell, tell the story.
Nathan Nipper
Sure. American inheritance is about Tom Brock. He's a young guy in his twenties, graduate student in San Francisco. He has a mountain of student loan debt, and he really buys into the whole left wing worldview about America, you know, that it's irredeemably racist and oppressive and the whole nine yards.
And Tom has a grandfather whom he's never met for reasons that become clear in the story. And his grandfather is, his name is Bob, and he's the political polar opposite from Tom. He's very conservative. He's a veteran of Vietnam, wealthy entrepreneur, believes in the american dream, you know, and is really upset about what he perceives as the left tearing down the nation that he loves. And so when his.
Glenn Beck
I'm sorry, but the grandson has been, the grandson has been told by his mother the whole time, he's a vicious, awful man. So he has no love for this grandfather. Yeah.
Nathan Nipper
He's a complete stranger. They've never met.
And so the grandfather, though, when he gets wind of Tom's kind of radical politics, he offers him a deal that Tom is in no position to refuse, and that is that he can earn a massive inheritance if he will complete this very long road trip following an itinerary designed by the grandfather specifically to try to alter his grandson's cynical view of America. You know, and so the story is about Tom's journey and the people and places he encounters along the way and how it affects his view of America's past, present and future.
Glenn Beck
And you take at one point somebody from Great Britain, and that hastens his love for America.
Nathan Nipper
Yeah, it's a third wheel sort of character that, I won't give away too many details of the plot, but the way that they meet. And she ends up accompanying him on a lot of this trip. And it was, I needed a third perspective sort of for the story because the grandfather and grandson are constantly having these very current, you know, political fights about everything that's going on. And she's sort of this outsider fan perspective. She has her own reasons and her own past for why she's interested in America, but she's here for the first time and she believes in the best things about America, and that sort of helps him to see them as well.
Glenn Beck
Who did you write this for? Because, like I say, when it starts, you nail. I mean, you know, that, that scene where he's making out on a couch with a very liberal girlfriend and, you know, he just really wants to make out and she wants to talk about, was it RFK?
You know, and, I mean, it's just, it is it, you will recognize it. If you're liberal, you would recognize, I think, that kind of mentality. Or if you live in New York, you've seen that a million times. Who's your target audience for this?
Nathan Nipper
Yeah, well, I mean, the target audience is really everybody. It's, it's not for, for kids. It's not a young adult book, obviously, but, you know, I think older teenagers could benefit from it, but it's really, I tried to write it for everyone, so I tried to have a believable left wing character. Believable right wing characters and then this sort of neutral, in a way, middle, you know, as well, perspective.
Because I was hoping that, you know, people would be interested in reading this and passing it along to someone that they know doesn't believe the same as they do politically. And the interesting thing is you write something like that and you hope that that's going to be the response, but you don't know. Right. It's kind of a risk.
But I've already received some, actually got some emails. I got an email last week from a dad who sounded like he was a veteran himself. He really enjoyed the book. And he was saying that he hoped to pass it on to two of his daughters who he can describe as very left leaning. And I thought, wow, that's amazing. That's exactly what I was sort of going for with this. So it seems to be happening.
Glenn Beck
Nathan, you wrote a Christmas book. What was that, two years ago? That's really good. I know you've written scripts and movies and all kinds of stuff. I just love working with you. You're truly one of the good guys. You're actually. Didn't you used to teach history at one point, too?
Nathan Nipper
I did. That was a dark time.
And obviously, obviously it didn't.
Glenn Beck
What grade were you teaching?
What grade were you?
Nathan Nipper
I taught 8th graders and a couple of times I taught seniors, actually, so. And I actually really enjoyed those students. I really enjoyed the 8th graders. They were, they were my favorite, actually, because they were still so interested and kind of wide eyed about it, you know, without the sentences. So.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Well, you must have been good because you're a great storyteller.
Nathan's book is out now. You can give it. We get it wherever books are sold. It's called american inheritance. American Inheritance by Nathan Nipper. Nathan. Thank you.
Nathan Nipper
Thanks, Glenn.
Glenn Beck
Love you, brother.
You bet. Bye bye.
All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this f hour. It's rough greens.
Here's what Barbara has to say about her dog's experience with rough greens. She said, I have six year old cocker spaniel that has some behavior issues over food. Never seems satisfied. He also has allergies. We're only a few days into our supply, but we can already see an improvement. He's eating well, licking his bowl and my fingers. If they have any rough greens residue on them, he rests more soundly, seems to have more energy. So far, so good.
You know, I will tell you, I never thought uno would eat without us hovering over him. He's just always like, where are you going? Where are you going? Why? Well, you won't stay here. I sit. I sit next to you while you eat. Why won't you? Oh, my gosh. He was such a finicky eater.
Rough greens. I just wanted him to eat. I thought he was healthy and, you know, like a puppy. Uh, no, he wasn't. I saw him become a puppy again because of rough greens. The energy and all of the stuff that he gets from it. And he eats his meals and licks his bowl. It's rough greens. Ruff greens.com. bet they're going to give you the first trial bag for free just to see if your dog likes it. Ruffgreens.com Beck, you just pay for the shipping of that trial bag. 833 Glenn 33.

Pat Gray filling in for Stu today. He's with his son in, what is it? Coopers?
Pat Gray
Cooperstown.
Glenn Beck
Coopersville.
Pat Gray
Cooperstown.
Glenn Beck
Cooperstown. That's right.
His son is in a baseball playoff. And so we wish him well. We hope dad, somehow or another, is out for popcorn, just so he misses it. You know, he can lie to his son and say, I saw it. It was great. So his son's not affected, but we do kind of hope that something disappointing happens for Stu, but not his son.
Let's.
As Pat Gray joins me. Have you been following what's happening in Portland with the.
With the felonies over the pride flag?
Pat Gray
I think that's Spokane, but close.
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Okay.
Pat Gray
Three kids. I mean, I don't know how old they are. Teens, I guess, are riding around on these little scooters, and they leave tire marks on a pride flag that's been, you know, painted into the. Into the pavement.
Charged with felonies for that.
Glenn Beck
Felonies.
Okay, so this is a no go zone. You can drive over it. You just can't leave any tire tracks on it.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Now, I just. I just want to give perspective to this and. And to show you this is a religion. Absolutely, positively religion.
Imagine if somebody in, let's say, Texas, Tyler, Texas, decides they're going to paint the face of Jesus on the main street.
Then they say, if you leave tire tracks on that face, it's a felony.
Can you imagine? Imagine the calls of fascism. Immediately they. You can burn a flag, an american flag, and people. But you cannot write. You cannot leave a mark on the pride flag, which has been painted on the road.
Pat Gray
Never seen.
Glenn Beck
Do you hear the scooters?
Never. Have you seen the scooters that they're. You know, that you can rent? You know, you can just pick them up and take them. They now have gps coordinates to shut the engine off at the pride flag. If you get close to the pride flag, it shuts your engine off. So you can't take the scooter over it.
Pat Gray
You have to go around it. Yeah, yeah.
Glenn Beck
It's.
Pat Gray
It's incredible. It's incredible. Something similar happened last week with a guy doing donuts on a pride flag in a different city, and he left tire marks on it, and that guy was also arrested.
Glenn Beck
Well, Pete Buttigieg explains the lgbt pride flag and the appeal to heaven flags.
Here's what he said. I also hope that most Americans can understand the difference between a flag that symbolizes love and acceptance and signals to people who have sometimes feared for their safety. They're going to be okay. And insurrectionist symbology.
I'll just leave it at that.
Pat Gray
Oh, my gosh.
Glenn Beck
Insurrection. Okay. Wow. To heaven. An appeal to heaven. You're asking for God's help. Okay. To be free.
Pat Gray
My gosh.
Glenn Beck
By the way, you know, that started in Massachusetts, which. Who else arrived in Massachusetts? Oh, the pilgrims that were afraid for their life and faced persecution.
Oh, my gosh. This guy is crazy. And by the way, it does not promote love. This whole thing has gone so far. It is promoting hatred.
Hatred of anyone who doesn't will not parrot exactly what you say.
That's not love.
That's fear. That's intimidation.
It's fascism.
And the appeal to heaven flag was not an insurrectionist flag.
I don't know if you know that. It was actually.
It was actually a call to save the state. And the reason the tree was on it is because it was known for their lumber, and their. And in England was coming over and taking all the lumber, and the colony said, that's our lumber. We want to use this to make masts of ships.
That's what that flag is all about. But I'm sure he knew that. Here's a border agent on CNN yesterday talking about his job keeping illegals from crossing the border. Listen to this. What do you think this executive order, is that going to do anything? Well, it only took, what, three years and seven months? In a rare encounter, we meet a border patrol agent eager to vent.
Nathan Nipper
He asks us to mask his identity, worried he'll be fired for talking so openly.
Glenn Beck
Cleared the border we didn't have to babysit. Does it frustrate you. When you hear that, when you hear the narrative, like, why aren't border patrol doing anything?
Hands are tight. If I don't allow them across and they call me for plane, no, I'm in trouble, I'm gonna lose my thing.
Pat Gray
Believe that. Gosh, they're there to prevent illegal border crossings. And if they do their job, they're gonna be fired for doing it.
That's where we are, though, under this administration. That's where we are.
Glenn Beck
Wow.
I just, again, I just, I'm filled with this feeling that this is all coming apart.
And the average american, by the time we get to November is, is. I mean, they're already seeing it. Another six months of this kind of degrading, even of Joe Biden's, you know, his, his age and his mental acuity and, and, and his physical abilities, I just can't imagine.
But then again, you know, I believe in fairy tales and the, the right win and everything else, you know.
See, there was a couple of other things I wanted to hit with. Oh, here's, here's one of them that kind of makes me feel this way. This is from Ohio.
Listen to this about Ohio voters.
Stand up straight
59% said they and their families, though, were better off while Trump was president, including 13% of Democrats.
Glenn Beck
13% of Democrats.
Yeah.
Sarah Gonzalez
Wow.
Glenn Beck
59%. 13% of Democrats saying they're better off. If you just depress by 13%, you know, in, in states, you just depressed by 5%. He loses. He loses. There is all kinds of enthusiasm and a lot of passion to stop the insanity and to get our economy and our country back on track. There's not a lot of enthusiasm to do anything other than stop Trump. That's not enough to win. Just don't think it's enough to win.
The Glenn Beck program.
Compromise.
We gotta stand together.
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Do you remember the book lies? My teacher told me it was a left leaning book, but it was going after things that were just sanitized, taken out of american history. The teachers never taught it. And the bad things about America need to be taught, as well as the good things about America.
If your kids are surprised, wait a minute, we did what?
If they're surprised by the bad things that America has done? You haven't done your job as a parent or an educator, quite honestly, have to present both sides. And so that was correcting some of the things, and then it just kind of flew out of control. And now correction needs to be happening on the other side, the, the lies my liberal teacher told me. Well, that's a new book out by Wilfred Riley.
He is a Kentucky State University associate professor, so I'm guessing he doesn't have tenure. Writing this book and then being on this show, probably not going to help his career an awful lot, but hopefully it will help you and your kids know more about american history. We join him in 60 seconds.
First, let me talk to you about Patriot Mobile. The convenience of modern american life sometimes complicates our efforts to maintain our values.
Until not long ago, if you wanted to have good cell phone coverage, you had to go to the big guys, the companies like Verizon, and you didn't really have any choice. I mean, in Verizon, I mean, donates to not just leftist causes, but Planned Parenthood, things that you're just dead set against.
We don't have to live that way anymore. We don't have to do business with people who don't like us, don't respect us, or just have values that are on the opposite end of the spectrum. Why would we do that?
Because it's not like we disagree on a few things. That one is really kind of important.
You know, some people want to destroy America. I think we should save the American Constitution, declaration and Bill of Rights. But I don't get it. I'm not going to give my money to people that are trying to destroy us. Patriot mobile, you get great phone service. You're going to get a whole month for free. If you start and sign up today, they offer dependable nationwide coverage, access any of the three major networks that everybody's on. Excellent plans. Patriotmobile.com Beck or call 972 Patriot. Get a free month when you use the offer code. Beck, join me now. Patriotmobile.com Beck, 972 patriots.
Wilford Riley, welcome to the program. How are you, sir?
Sarah Gonzalez
Good. Good to be back on the show.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, last time you were on, we were talking about the 1776 project, if I remember right.
Sarah Gonzalez
Yeah, we were talking about a 1776 unites and some of the issues with the 1619 project, which also come up in this book a little bit.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. So talk about the lies my liberal teacher told me.
Sarah Gonzalez
Yeah. So the new book, I mean, you just named it. It's called lies my liberal teacher told me. And it's a response to not just really one book, but kind of a trend in american education and american media. So there have been like eight or ten of these books over the past couple decades. I mean, the one you mentioned, it's actually pretty good is James Lowen's lies. My teacher told me it came out in 1995.
But I mean, you also have the 1619 project book 1619, a black history of America and the lives that telling you that came out a couple years ago.
You have bury my heart at Wounded Knee, a native american history of the United States, which is literally just a chronicling of all the battles the Indians lost and none of the ones they won, which came out in 1968. You kind of wonder why the war went on for 400 years when you read it.
But I mean, that old communist Howard zins, a people's history in the United States and the lies they're telling you. And you kind of. I mean, we've all read these in high school or college, and you kind of get the theme as you go through them. But reading them as an academic scientist, there are social scientists. There are two points that they really keep making, and one is kind of western culture, white descent culture. American culture is the worst society in history. Like, we oppressed women and we kept slaves. We treated battle captives horribly, and no one else really did. And .2 is, if you know this, you are one of the elect. Like, the books will actually include lines like, your parents probably don't know too much about feminism or don't know what happened to the. And so you're kind of one of the smart new kids. And when you think about it, that's what woke means. Like, everyone was asleep and now you're awake. You're aware of what's really going on in this filthy society, right? So, to me, the basic perspective that these authors were coming from was just B's. Like, the idea that the american academy is too patriotic and leans too far to the right and spends all day complimenting the USA was just crazy, right? So I decided to actually read the textbooks we've been using for the past, like, 20 years, populations of people and all that, and see whether there was any element of truth to that at all. And what I found is there's some jingoistic stuff. Our troops get praised, quite appropriately, but that most of the big lies in society are told from the other direction.
And so in my book, I counter the two themes.
One, obviously, I don't think western culture is any worse than any other human culture. Arabic, Chinese, so on. In fact, I think it's way better. And I make that argument. But at very least, if you put our society in context, you can't claim that the other great societies didn't also have slaves, which is something most Americans no longer know.
You can't claim that women's rights existed, really, anywhere in the world outside of certain tribes before the last 100 years or so, if battle captives in general were blinded or castrated or whatever, and then they got to practice your boat rowing skills for the rest of your life. So these points I just make, and it's important because we've almost forgotten that. But then I think the second point is more important.
I make the point that the narrative that's presented is kind of edgy and rebellious, like Marxism, light mainstream feminism, the left wing of the democratic party is not, in fact, some rebellious thing that only cool high school kids know about. It's the absolute mainstream of society.
AOC is in Congress. Joe Biden's in the White House. You know, pride parades are sponsored by Halliburton. So this is the educational curriculum. It's not some occasional supplement you get. And what I'm pointing out in the book is that most of the things that we are teaching are empirically wrong. Like the resistance is sort of the center right, dad? Who's looking at this and thinking, wow, this is all b's, isn't it? So I try to write a book for that guy.
Glenn Beck
So let me. Let me take you through a couple of the topics in the book. Native Americans were peaceful people who spent all day dancing.
You know, I love native american culture in history, and some of them were really good, you know, like us. They were people, and they would war from time to time, but they were really good and tried to be fair and honest. And some of them were. Were horrible monsters, just like, I don't know, us.
Sarah Gonzalez
Yeah, well, that's a point that I make that. So someone once said, actually, I think, interestingly enough, this was the slave trader Tipu tip, who would have known? But he said that the great weakness of the liberal or of the white man was the belief that other people were different from and better than you.
And the great weakness of what he called the warrior the barbarian was the belief that other people were different from and worse than you. And today, we could probably sub in the liberal and the conservative. But his comment was that all people are pretty much just the same.
Yes, all groups of people everywhere in the world have the exact same vices. If you went to a stable, black african country, Nigeria, Ghana, people would just be people. We went to a business meeting, they'd be people. You went to China, you know, a little regimented over there, but people would just be people. Certainly that'd be the case in Thailand. So on down the line and that's what we found with Native Americans when I did serious research. Yeah, there were tribes that were peaceful.
Most of those were in the process of being conquered when the white incomers arrived, by the way. But there were also a lot of warrior tribes that were brutal by any standard because you didn't have the regulations that existed in the old world. You didn't have the laws that had descended from Rome. You didn't have nations around you where a christian king might check you if your behavior became too extreme. So you had people like the Aztecs who actually built a cannibal kingdom. It was about the size of Mexico.
And if you lost a war with the Aztecs, they'd eat you. The surrounding nations would send in sort of hunger games style tributes to the aztec empire every year, and there'd be an annual ceremony where they'd kill and eat 50,000 people. And none of this is disputed. It's widely accepted in anthropology.
Glenn Beck
Talk to me about the red scare.
Talk to me about the red scare here. The. You know, it didn't catch any communists. You know, it was a horrible blemish, and in some ways, it was a horrible blemish, but in other ways, that story that it. That there weren't communist infiltration, you know, that they didn't catch anybody. That's not true.
Sarah Gonzalez
No, it's not true at all. So one of the things I do in this book is contrast, kind of the first glance public perception that the average upper middle class american or blue collar aristocrat, and certainly their kids have of historical incidents with reality. And very often the two don't even resemble one another. So the Ritz scare, I mean, now, Joe McCarthy had some problems personally. Drank a little too much. He mislabeled some people.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Sarah Gonzalez
But I mean, like who? For example, the House on american activities committee correctly identified a large number of people who were communist spies as communist spies. The idea that we were just pointing out random citizens who happen to be black or left leading and accusing them of communism is false, and we now know that. And by the way, kind of getting to the point, we know that for a specific reason. Like in the 1990s, we finished the declassification of what are known as the Venona cables, which are the venon for the listening audience. Yeah. And a lot of smart people on the right know that, but this isn't widely known in general. These are the decrypted exchanges between Russia and her agents over here. So we now. And we were friendly with Mister Putin in the late 1990s. So we have this. I mean, we know who they were.
And you can just go to Wikipedia or Britannica and look up Venona cables and see who the russian agents in the USA were. And as a political scientist, I mean, you're often expected to work on these. I've looked at them. So, long story short, many of the people that were accused of russian espionage in the fifties and sixties. I mean, you're talking about the Rosenbergs, Elger Hill, this. All these people who became cause celebs for the global left, Dalton Trumbo, all of those. All those three were, in fact, russian spies.
And we've known that for decades. It's just sort of been minimized as part of this narrative where McCarthyism has become a word for unprovokedly, baselessly accusing people of crimes. And I don't think that's valid. And I go through this whole scare chapter where I named the spies, and I point out, look, we can say that one or two of these congressmen overstepped, but there was another global empire at this time, and they were communist, and they did have the country full of spies. And here are the spies.
Glenn Beck
But I feel a little. When it comes to the red scare, I don't like.
I don't like the fact that, you know, we were reporting on each other and that we were, you know, forced to give lists.
You know, that's. That's. That's really what wokeness is doing right now. You know, turn people in who have a different opinion. There were. There were people that were communists or had attended communist meetings that weren't necessarily spies. Going after spies, that's one thing. But having the entire country, you know, turn around and.
And just hunt for people I don't think is a good thing. Do you?
Sarah Gonzalez
Well, no, I generally agree, but I mean, to put that in context, we did this under Covid. I mean, you know, there's a hotline in the airport. Yeah, I know, right? Yeah, I totally disapprove, but just. There's a hotline in the airports right now. If you see something, say something. I mean, I don't think I've ever called it, but, I mean, my fiance called it once to report suspected trafficking. You know, so we. We do this for a large number of things, and, of course, we can criticize, and I think guys would be more likely to criticize that prevalent kind of a long house snooping in society. But the reality is that we do essentially what happened during the red scare for a lot of relatively inconsequential things.
Communism was actually an existential threat to the USA at. Oh, it was the USA.
Glenn Beck
I think it is still.
Sarah Gonzalez
Yeah, I wouldn't dispute you on that one. But the USA and the USSR almost fought a nuclear war. So, I mean, this idea. Well, if there's a one in ten chance of nuclear war or, you know, we're going to put the boys out there, we're going to have agents following people around if we think there's a chance that you're a. You're a russian asset.
I do think there were some violations of liberties. I think some of those were justifiable. But the main point is that the story that's being told is that almost all of this was sort of made up. And I open each chapter with quotes from the textbooks and from major journals. And those about Joe McCarthy are almost all along the lines of. Of, he never found a single communist. He made up a list of communists, never identified a single person. I just don't think that's accurate. I think he was among the worst of the people doing this. But we found four or 500, according to Vedanta.
Glenn Beck
Did you. Did you ever read blacklisted by history?
Sarah Gonzalez
Yes, I did.
Glenn Beck
What did you think of that?
Sarah Gonzalez
Yeah, I think that that is a lot of the. I think it's largely correct.
That's actually referenced in the McCarthy chapter, actually.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, it is. It is, really. When I read that the first time, I actually.
I set the book down because I thought if I read this, I better find out if this author is, you know, a stable guy or a nut job, because I knew it would change my opinion of things that I had always thought were true.
And it did change my opinion on the red scare. And McCarthy, like you said, he was, you know, he was the worst one out there, and he was not a good messenger, but he's not the guy that everybody tried to make him out to be.
Or at least, you know, the. He wasn't the guy who was on a witch hunt without any evidence.
Sarah Gonzalez
No, I think that's correct. Yeah. I talk about this on page 29 of the book, where I actually provide a link to the book. So. Yeah. The 2007 book blacklisted by history, the untold story of Senator Joe McCarthy and his fight against America's enemies. Renowned conservative historian M. Stanton Evans argues that much of the strong, immediate backlash to McCarthy's allegations occurred because the government wasn't about to admit how real McCarthy's worries were about infiltration. Last line. But uS officials from both parties. This is a quote. Weren't eager to have the reality of communist penetration on their watch and their failure to do much about it broken down in front of the general public. So that was one of the reasons. And I think, again, we see this with a lot of stuff, including the recent backlash to Covid, including the debates about the border. Like, you're in a dangerous position. If you point out a systemic failure by the government, especially a bipartisan systemic failure, like, even in the USA, you might disappear. And in much of Europe and all the rest of the world, you would, because you're pointing out that the organs of state screwed up.
Glenn Beck
Wilford Riley is the name of the man I've been speaking to. He is the author of lies. My liberal teacher told me. It's available everywhere. Wilfred, as always, good to have you on. Thank you so much.
Sarah Gonzalez
Thank you, Glenn. Thanks for having me.
Glenn Beck
You bet. So if you are a shooter, you know how expensive it is when you go to the gun range. I mean, every time I fire a bullet at a range, I think, well, how much did that bullet cost? And can I get another one eventually to replace it?
There is a different way of doing it. And you can use it for dry firing or live firing. It's called Mantis X, and it is really, really good.
I'm a pretty good shot, but skills perish. You know, I usually only live fire shoot when I'm up at the ranch in the summer.
And, you know, that means for nine months out of the year, I haven't shot a gun. And you lose it quickly.
You can dry fire practice or live fire practice. And, and this is used widely by the military now. I think it started with the marines. It's called Mantis X, and it's a little device you put at the end of your barrel. And whether you're at the range or in your home and you're pulling the trigger, it will tell you exactly what you're doing wrong when it's happening, how you're moving the gun.
And I improved within 20 minutes. I think I went from like a 85 to a 95.
And most people can do that in 20 minutes.
X. Mantis X. It's like having a firearms instructor right in your front pocket. And it'll save you a ton of money as well. Mantis X.com dot 10 seconds station id.
You know, history is so fascinating, and if you are curious, you constantly learn. I'm reading a whole series of books from Annie Jacobson. I think it's her name. Yeah, Jacobson. She is fantastic.
And she's written a lot of books, and one of them that I'm reading right now is Operation Paperclip.
And, Pat, I honestly, I'm wrestling with this so much on, you know, operate. Do you remember what operation Paperclip was?
Pat Gray
Not right off the top of my head, no.
Glenn Beck
So it was bringing the, the Nazis in, the scientists in and those who are making, you know, weapons of death, you know, even Wernher von Braun. But we brought some really, really bad guys in to our country and we didn't tell the people about it. And I'm convinced that that did possibly more damage to our country than good, especially in the medical field and the scientific field.
You've worked with people who are like, you know what? Life doesn't matter. Matter. Just doesn't matter. You know, back in Germany, we would, whatever.
You don't want those people influencing your medical fields.
And so I'm reading this and I want to talk to Annie about her feeling on was it a good thing or bad thing? I've not heard from anybody yet that I found that has a real strong case one way or the other.
The case they were making there is if we don't take them, the Russians will take them. Well, no, not if we hang them.
You were doing crimes against humanity. What do you say? We hang them and then God gets them? Glenn Beck all right. We are seemingly living in a time with endless money printing, which is chasing a growing and terrifyingly huge national debt. Even if you're not angry for how much of your wealth is suffering in this economy, for instance, your dollar is worth $0.24 less than it was in 2020. So when Joe Biden came in, he has lost a quarter of every dollar you have. Okay, so what are you going to do about it? How are you going to, how are you going to protect your wealth? Well, the one thing that keeps going up is gold. And this is what the central banks all over the world are investing in. They're buying it like crazy right now, over $3 billion in trusted transactions. Lear capital is there to help you look at how you can protect the wealth that you have.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It is Thursday.
We got a lot of stuff to share with you, bits and pieces here of things that are in the news.
The, the record for gold, coffee, copper and cocoa.
That's not just because of, you know, storms and the, the cocoa, you know, the coffee trees, the coffee beans. You know, the trees are very old now.
There's a lot more going on. Also, the Russians. Yes, it is true.
People are spotting them off the coast of Florida and saying, wait, what?
They are, they're doing a military exercise and trying to give us a taste of their own medicine. They'll be there through the summer. They're in Venezuela and in Cuba. Cuba.
Yay.
Yeah.
Pat Gray
Just a nuclear powered submarine, though, with hypersonic missiles on it. Don't worry about it. Nothing to worry about.
Glenn Beck
And, and, and big warships, too.
Pat Gray
Yeah. Did you see that? Piers Morgan had Candace Owens on, and she is promoting the theory that Brigitte Macron, the first lady of France, was born a man.
I, this is the first. I'm here to this. I didn't, I didn't realize so many first ladies have, have been, yeah. Men either.
Glenn Beck
Why would you, now, why would you take on Macron's wife?
Pat Gray
I don't know.
Glenn Beck
You got Big Mike.
Pat Gray
That's a good question.
Yeah. Can we focus on Big Mike first? Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Let'S clean up our own house here first. Ken. This ridiculous piers was, by the way, the big mike thing. Hang on just a sec. The big mike thing is absolutely not true. I don't believe it in a second. But it is such a fun one.
Pat Gray
It just is fun. There's no doubt about that.
But Pierce was pissed off at Candace and said, you've produced zero evidence that she's a man. It's been deeply offensive to her, her, her husband, to all her family. You keep promoting it to millions of people that follow you. And she said, I think Brigitte McCrone is a trans woman. And I think the fact that Brigitte. And then he was, then he interrupted again, but she's not.
So then she just got frustrated and she.
Glenn Beck
Like a former model or something.
Pat Gray
Brigitte.
Yeah, I think, no, I think I. Isn't she the one that's quite a bit older than him? And I think she's a teacher.
Glenn Beck
Okay. Yeah, there's one of them. One of them was like a hot model, you know, for the president of France at one point had a hot model, which you do expect from the president of France.
Pat Gray
You would expect that.
Glenn Beck
Or Donald Trump.
Yeah.
Pat Gray
Yes, yes. Who's still married, in fact, to a hot model that has clearly never been a man.
But eventually, Piers offered $100,000.
Glenn Beck
Not big Jeff.
Pat Gray
No.
Glenn Beck
You don't think she's big Jeff?
Pat Gray
No, I do not.
Glenn Beck
Okay, so we offered a hundred thousand.
Pat Gray
Dollars to $100,000 bet on the upcoming libel trial because Brigitte McCrone is actually suing somebody right now for this claim. And so Morgan is trying to bet Candace Owens and I guess anybody else that believes in this theory, $100,000 that, that she is not a former man. So that'd be interesting to see if what comes, what comes of that? If anything, they'll probably just sweep it under the rug like they've done with the big Mike thing, and then I'm going to be really disappointed.
You know, we can't get Big Mike to address it, and I don't know why. Wrong. It's wrong.
Glenn Beck
Oh, my gosh. Oh, it's so funny. By the way, I don't know know if you've seen this at the museum, which we're going to have a grand opening of our museum in Dallas this fall. No date yet, but this fall we're going to be doing a grand opening, and you'll be able to see it for yourself in the museum. We do have Barack Obama's birth certificate. Oh, wow.
Pat Gray
From the hospital in Nairobi. That's great.
Glenn Beck
No, stop it. Stop it. It was Moscow.
Pat Gray
Oh, that's right.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Pat Gray
That's right.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
No, you know, from Hawaii. And it's, it's, I mean, and it's pretty cool. Things are just. Yeah. Do you know that Hoover, they did the same thing. Hoover did the same thing to.
Who is he originally running against? I can't remember. But no, no, no. It was against Hoover. They said that Hoover was not born in the US and his birth certificate was at a, you know, had a different location on it other than the US as well. And it was a big deal back then. They did the same thing to Hoover.
Pat Gray
Wow.
Glenn Beck
And you know, you don't do that to the guy who invented the vacuum. That's just not right.
Pat Gray
I mean, look at, look at the good he's done for society.
Well, what would you do with your carpeting?
Glenn Beck
Right?
Exactly.
Pat Gray
Yeah. You'd have to use a broom, and that just wouldn't work very well.
Glenn Beck
So there's a couple of things here that I want to hit on. There's a great story today in the Glenn Beck show prep. You can get it and sign up for it, and you get it free every day delivered to you.
And it's all of the stories that we cover. And then I don't even know how many more that we don't get a chance to talk about. But there's a couple of fun stories in there, like what happened to Dylan Mulvaney?
You know, he's. He kind of just disappeared. Disappeared. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And do you know that he doesn't live in the United States now?
Pat Gray
Yeah. Is it. Is it Venezuela? Peru.
Glenn Beck
Peru, yeah.
Pat Gray
Okay, Peru. Yeah.
Glenn Beck
And he moved there because he felt it. He felt very, very safe there. There.
And he said I had to leave my country to feel safe, which is really. Honestly, that's sad. If true. That's really sad.
But I wonder how safe he feels, because last month, the peruvian government officially classified transgender, non binary, and intersex people as mentally ill. Oh, my.
Yeah.
Pat Gray
Incredible.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Pat Gray
Mmm.
Glenn Beck
So I'm wondering, you know, is he.
Pat Gray
Is he still feeling safe? Yeah, she.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Pat Gray
That's amazing.
Glenn Beck
You know, this stuff that, you know, maybe. Maybe it happens on a small scale where, you know, trans men are or trans women are beat up.
And I can imagine that it would happen. You know, you. You pick up a woman in the bar, and then, you know, you. You're. You're, you know, in a compromise, and then you notice that she has a little friend downstairs, and you're like, there's.
Pat Gray
A dangling chad there or something.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right.
And, you know, I can understand, you know, that a little bit, being a little shocked, but I just don't think we're those people. And all of this militancy on. On LGBTQ plus plus, I. To whatever it is, I think it's made things worse. You know, I was talking to a friend, a black friend, Pat, because I have a black friend.
But we were talking about racism in 2007, and he's about my age. And he said what I've always felt.
He's like, you know, we were a product of Martin Luther King. We weren't a product of the forties and the thirties and the fifties. We. We grew up at a time where Martin Luther King was right. And, you know, he said, I felt we had made so much progress, and I did, too. I really thought that we were coming to a place to where we were colorblind up to Barack Obama. Just.
Yes. And then colorblindness wasn't good enough.
Pat Gray
Right.
Glenn Beck
You now had to recognize color, and Martin Luther King was wrong. And it's just.
It's all of that great work and progress we made. Real progress was just hacked at. And now I don't.
You know, I don't. I know in. In official groups, you know, political groups, you know, there's real tension and real people that really, you know, think the other side is bad. I guess, but I don't think the, I don't think the american people are, are on that side. You know what I mean? I don't think that they're there.
Maybe I'm wrong. I just don't feel like people feel like, yeah, my neighbor who's a Democrat, or my neighbor who's a Republican or, and maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't feel like they feel their enemies, the people that know, in, in the regular, you know, the non coastal areas of America.
Pat Gray
Yeah.
I mean, with the left, it's, you know, you bring up Martin Luther King, they've almost disowned him and his beliefs at this point.
Glenn Beck
Oh, yeah.
Pat Gray
It's like they don't subscribe to that at all anymore, that, that it's your character you should be judged by, not the color of your skin. If you're colorblind, that to them is now racist. So they've completely flipped it upside down.
Glenn Beck
I just, I keep coming back to this today, but I just think this is why America is really ready for a change. And, you know, the, the odds, the, have you seen the sports handle, the, you know, the betting place?
Pat Gray
I did see that, yeah.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Well, I believe these places so much more than polls because you don't have any stake in that. You know, you don't have anything on the line. But people will tell the truth when they're betting of what they really believe. Right now, it's, he's at a record high. Donald Trump is at a record high of 58% of winning the White House.
And it shows the odds of winning re election for Joe Biden are at 39%.
That's not good for. By good.
Pat Gray
Yeah. Right. He's up by 1919 points. That's impressive.
Glenn Beck
So, so let's, so listen to this. This is according to people who bet Donald Trump, 58, Joe Biden 39. Who's next?
Pat Gray
I am.
Glenn Beck
Who's next?
Pat Gray
Do you think I'm going to say RF. RFK junior.
Glenn Beck
Nope. He's in fourth place.
Pat Gray
Always it Big Mike place.
Glenn Beck
It's Big Mike.
Pat Gray
What, what are his odds?
Glenn Beck
Don't dead name him. Don't do it.
Yeah.
Her odds are 4.5%.
Wow. RFK is 3.1.
Pat Gray
Yeah, that tells you something.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Hillary Clinton is still pull, still pulling 1%.
Pat Gray
Wow.
Glenn Beck
I read an article the other day that said, you know, everybody think everything's going to be Big Mike. Everybody thinks it's going to be Michelle Obama, but the one they're going to pull the trigger on is Hillary, and it'll happen, you know, right around convention time.
Pat Gray
Oh, wow.
Glenn Beck
Because. Yeah, because he's getting too seriously ill.
I just, I don't think you can get around Harris.
Pat Gray
No, you can't.
Glenn Beck
I mean, you've just.
Pat Gray
She's next to.
Glenn Beck
Trapped yourself. Yeah, you've trapped yourself because of the.
Pat Gray
Reasons he chose her. He can't go away from her now and he chose her because she's exactly right.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, exactly right. So now you have the opportunity to hand it to a black female, you're going to give it to a white politician.
Pat Gray
You can't.
Glenn Beck
No way. No way. All right, back in just a second. Sadly, no matter how much we want it to not happen, there comes a day when first responders or military service members just don't come home. Or maybe they do come home but they're so severely injured that their lives and the lives of their families are never the same again. This is where the tunnel to Towers foundation steps in. They're there for these people, for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders. They build mortgage free smart homes, homes allowing those heroes to move around more independently and more financially securely. Their homeless veteran program. This is shameful that we have so many homeless veterans.
They helped 3300 people just last year.
There are so many more out there that really need help, but they need your help to do it.
Join the tunnel to Towers foundation on their mission to do good and never forget the sacrifice of this country. Heroes. More than ninety five cents of every dollar you donate to tunnel towers goes directly to its programs. Could you donate $11 a month to tunnel to towers at t two t.org dot? That's tthenumber two t.org dot.

We'll be right back.
Don't forget our Blaze originals team has done a new documentary. It's available now on Blaze tv. Voter fraud exposed, how elections can be stolen and what to do about it on Blaze tv right now.
Pat Gray
Glenn, before we end here, we got to play this Wesley Hunt. He's a black congressman from Texas talking about id for blacks. Watch this.
Wesley Hunt
Sitting with me today is my global entry card, my military id card, my Texas driver's license, my Texas license to carry because that's how we roll in Texas. My congressional card and of course the good old fashioned american passport.
What sorcery is this?
What am I, the black Houdini? How was I able to pull off the impossible and attain not one, not two, not three, but six government issue ids?
Impossible personal responsibility in this country.
I fought for this country as an Apache helicopter pilot to protect free and fair elections and have a government issued id isn't racist. It's american.
You need to have an id to drive a car, to check into the airport. Open becca counter. You need an id for basically everything to be a responsible adult in this country, except for voting. Apparently, according to the left, black America does not need well meaning liberals putting their arms around us and telling us how we should go to the polls. In fact, if you look at recent headlines and polls, you will find that black men, specifically in this country, are more fired up than ever to participate in the next presidential election.
And I think I know why. And I'm really looking forward to these results.
For the record, in 2020, in the 2022 midterms in Georgia, it proved that election integrity and ballot accessibility can be achieved hand in hand.
Pat Gray
That's great stuff. I mean, 80% of blacks feel the same way.
Glenn Beck
Way.
Yeah.
It is one of the one subjects and policies that both sides agree on overwhelmingly. It's over 70, 75% for all, for everybody except for politicians. That's it. They're the only ones that don't want to have, you know, voter id and credible elections.
All right, we. We will see you tomorrow. Tomorrow. Also, the brand new podcast that I've started on history comes out. We'll tell you a little bit more about that, but we'll see you back here Friday.
