Glenn Beck
It's going to be a very different show today.
And I'm going to start with american giant. I mean, here I'm going to talk to you about our sponsor, american giant. But that is what today's show's theme is. What is an american giant?
An american giant is somebody who does the uncommon some, somebody who does what's right for the country.
And honestly, that is the guy who runs american giant. He took over a clothing manufacturing facility that was going to close, and it really meant the end of the town, and he couldn't sit around and do nothing. So he went out, he bought all the old machines to make, like, the sweatshirts that we used to have in the sixties. He bought them, brought them back from Japan, and now makes the best sweatshirt and the best american clothing, all made here in America. American dash giant.com glenn. Save 20% when you use my name.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment, entertainment, entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
I thought all day yesterday, what am I going to say to you today?
What advice could I possibly give?
I feel exactly the same way. I did the week of 911.
I was supposed to go national on my first national. I did comedy, and we were supposed to go national and replace doctor Laura on January 1, 2002.
And September 11 happened, and I got a call on Wednesday, September 12, and they said, we need you on the air by the end of the week.
And I went home and I got down on my knees and I said, lord, I have, I don't know anything about this. I don't know. I have nothing to say to the american people of any value.
I pray that he did, that he does today what he did on that first broadcast and allows me to find the right words to share with you today. We begin in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about relief factor.
Sometimes, you know, you're a two bit rent a judge presiding over a kangaroo court, and your political opponent is getting railroaded by your mishandling of the law. Ever been there? I mean, that's oddly specific.
There's no fix for that, at least the next day.
But if you're living with pain in your life, that you could try relief factor. If it worked on stupid judges, oh, I'd be smearing it all over that guy today. It's a hundred percent drug free daily supplement. Helps your body fight pain naturally. It was developed by doctors. Try it for three weeks. If it's not working for you in three weeks, it's probably not gonna work.
I was stubborn. I. You know, my wife, she told me, you gotta take the sunrun. I'll listen to you. Any more wine? And I'm like, after three weeks, I don't think it's working for me. And then I stopped taking it and I'm like, okay, it's working for me, but only because I chose that. It's working for me. Nothing to do with you anyway. Don't be stupid.
Drug free supplement. It will help you feel better every day. Join the 1 million people who have turned to relief factor. Just like me. You too can get out of pain with relieffactor.com comma, relieffactor.com comma. 1800 for relief. 1800 for relief.
Yesterday I asked myself something that Ben Franklin asked himself as they were writing the Declaration of independence and as they were going through what they went through.
He sat in his chair after the constitution and he had been looking at John Hancock's chair and it had a son on it, half a son.
And he said, this whole time I have been sitting here thinking, wondering, praying, is that a setting sun or a rising sun?
He deemed at the end it was a rising sun.
I asked myself yesterday, is this a setting sun or a rising sun? Is this the day historians will write down as the end of America, where its people were still asleep and just didnt really recognize it?
Or is it the beginning of a new chapter?
We are, in our history and in our lives, faced with challenges that test our resolve all the time. Push us to the limits.
And it's in these moments where everything seems unwinnable, everything seems so steep, the odds are all against us.
And those are the times you discover who you really are.
Those are the times you forge your character.
We as a nation, because we have been fat and lazy and we have had everything handed to us. Don't really know who we are.
Most people never change because they're afraid.
Lisa, I'll speak for myself.
When I was at my worst, I was afraid there was nothing good in me. There was nothing good to discover, to look.
But you'll never find those things unless you look and unless you embrace the hard things. You have to understand that every trial, every setback will make you stronger, will make you wiser, will make you more gentle.
America, today is the day of choosing.
Today is the day. It is now our turn to step up and save the republic and the world.
Make no mistake, the world is watching.
And I hope you feel the weight of that expectation.
I hope you realize the sting of failure that will come if we don't step up.
I thought a lot about Rudyard Kipling last night. I thought a lot of Teddy Roosevelt.
If I may paraphrase his poem, in the man in the arena, it is not the critic who counts, but the one who dares to step into the ring, to risk everything, who will fail over and over and over again, but continues to get up, tired, face marred with blood and mud.
But he goes up again and again and again.
It's really easy to quit. It is. It's easy to say, well, we have no chance.
Easy to be knocked down. And as humiliating as it is to lie face down in the dirt, that's exactly what every bully wants you to do.
That's why every bully they command, stay down.
Don't get up against. Stay down, or I'll give you a bigger beating.
But the man who inspires others to stand continues to get up, wobbly, barely able to fight, but he refuses to bend the knee, refuses to send surrender to the bully.
Failure is not the end, nor was this stain on american justice yesterday. It is simply a stepping stone to the path of greatness. A stepping stone to make America great again. That's not just a slogan for a campaign.
That is true. We have lost our way. We have become an embarrassment for everything we say we stand for.
Each fall teaches us resilience. Each setback strengthens our determination. Every time the bully knocks us down and says, stay down. Every time we get up, there's someone in the crowd watching, who then turns our way and sees the bully for who they really are.
O lord, hear the words of my mouth.
Save our republic.
But he will only match us if we don't get up. He will not help us if we don't follow him. He will not. He cannot help us. So what we have in front of us today is a decision.
Do we get up, or do we lie down face down in the dirt?
What is possibly worth taking these beatings?
Donald Trump is just a symbol.
He's a symbol of what bullies do to anyone who refuses to play it my way to stay down. Police come to town all the time, and they teach everybody in town, go along. Get along. Whisper. Don't you even whisper.
Don't you try to help that beaten man stand up. Don't do it. We must decide.
Will we stand idly by while the crowds chant barabbas? We want Barabbas.
Building anything of value, whether it's a country, a career, a relationship, or simply our own character, requires unwavering dedication.
We have to be willing to get back up time and time again, to face our fears, to face our doubts, to press on. No matter what happens to us, it is through that relentless effort that we become Americans.
We discover our true potential, not just as people, but as a people the world has always known as Americans. Not the kind of Americans we've become, but the kind of Americans we've all striven to be or thought we did.
I've always believed the American was defined by a can do spirit.
The people who crossed the Rockies, tamed the west, changed the world, rescued and healed.
I didn't realize how much until I studied history. Real history. Not the crap they teach you in school. Real history. I never really understood how stained our name is from those in power, those who only serve through corruption and greed and sometimes out and out evil.
But I have truly, always believed, and I. I still do today, that the American truly believes in honor and integrity and truth and justice. That that is the american way.
I will tell you this yesterday for those who live in the shadow of fear around the world.
Yesterday may have changed that belief for those people, but it did not change it for me.
I will not surrender to those words.
I will not surrender to the belief that puts me and other Americans into action. Yesterday was a defeat, but we are not done.
Each of us coming together.
You're not going to do anything grand. I'm not going to do anything grand.
I'm not telling you today anything you don't know.
We just have to remember every step forward, no matter how small, contributes to the journey.
We're people who continue to stand up.
Those people who refuse to give in always end up winning.
The value is not in just the destination, but the courage and perseverance that we show along the way. It wasn't that we always won with no cost.
Americans have always paid a high cost for what we believed in. That's what's admirable.
And quite honestly, I think that's what Americans have lost that put us into this position.
By doing the hard things, by refusing to give up, we build a legacy of strength and integrity. And I fear we've squandered it because we didn't understand it. That's what we've lost.
That is what the world will lose should we fail. Should America fail.
I have so much to say. Let me take a 1 minute break and I'll come back and we'll talk some more.
Let me talk about.
Let me talk to you about cleaning out your gutters.
You clean out your gutters. And if you do it it's a pain in the butt. If you don't do it, then your house rots, metaphorically speaking. We haven't cleaned out our gutters for a long time. It's time before the foundation of our house is completely rotted away.
Speaking to you non metaphorically, there is a solution. It's leaf filter from leaf home gutters.

Ten second station id in today's world, everyone seems to get a trophy, which makes the trophy absolutely worthless.
Because unless it's fought for, unless you struggle to earn it, it doesn't belong to you.
The same for freedom. Unfortunately, I've never earned our freedom.
I fear I spent much too much of my life squandering it.
And for what ease?
Money?
Just to get along. To go along.
A trophy that everybody gets.
There's a few statements that I want to make today that I hope you will echo.
I do not accept, nor do I want that damn trophy.
I want one that means something.
Scriptures tell us there must very important word. There must be opposition in all things. That means freedom of speech is something that God commands us to do.
There must be opposition in all things. So let us be led by the principles of the gospel and be that opposition and worthy and ready to fight the darkness.
I will never say we are finished. I will never utter the words we have lost.
Because defeat is not an outcome. Defeat is a choice.
It always sucks. Before you get to the summit, the question is, as you're driving your wagon train over the Rocky mountains, do you give up or do you press on?
Let me ask you this. Do you actually have an unwavering belief in our republic? Do you even really know the Bill of rights? The Declaration of Independence? The constitution? Do you know why we fight? Because if you don't know, you will lose.
Will enough of us call upon that something that has always been said is bread inside of us, and I no longer believe that.
Will you call on whatever it is deep inside of you, that unyielding spirit, to stand for those values that we've been told our whole lives are self evident. Well, apparently they are not self evident anymore.
It is the greatest mission statement the world has ever seen.
When you tell me and give me a choice, I will drop America in a heartbeat if you can tell me. We are fighting for something greater than the opportunity to create a country where all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, and among them are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, where justice and freedom can be had by all. We've never, ever gotten there. So here we are on the side of the mountain, and we're asking ourselves today, do we just go back down?
Is this as far as we go?
Or do we say it's just over the next hill?
Press on, America.
Press on.
More in a minute.
Stand up.
Glenn Beck, sometimes you, you just need to get out of the state you're living in. Oh, did I say that out loud?
I mean, especially if you know, your state is incredibly blue and filled with corrupt judges and biased juries and whether just bend the law and make up laws. I can't imagine living in New York today. Honestly.
Honestly.
There is if they'll do it to him. What do you think? They're not going to do it to you when they want to anyway. If you need to move out of your state, like New York, or if you just are going to move, you know, across the street, you need a real estate agent you can trust. Somebody dependable, knowledgeable, filled with integrity. All the qualities that she seems incredibly lacking in judges in places like New York, Washington, or where else are they trying him? Oh yeah, in Georgia, where they apparently will just perjure themselves.
We work, I started a company and we work to find the great agents that you can trust.

Code Fauci lied for $30 off your subscription@blazetv.com. glenn check out Blaze TV's newest docuseries with Matt Kibbe. The COVID up exposing Fauci. He's a liar.
Glenn Beck
Stu is out today and so is Pat.
And quite honestly, I did not want to have 3 hours of just me and my mouth. I didn't think that was a good idea, so I invited a couple in to join me. First of all, Jason Butrill, who is my chief researcher, has been with me for a very, very long time, an expert on the intelligence community, et cetera, et cetera.
And incredibly bald.
And the other side is somebody that you may know, you may not. Jill Savage.
She is really super smart. And I am so happy that she is joined. Has joined the blaze. She's going to be hosting a new show of serious news and commentary.
I just got to say it. It's blaze news tonight and it's coming out later this month.
Yeah. That way they. They have to do it.
That way they have to do it. Jill, welcome to the program. How are you?
Jill Savage
Thank you so much, Glenn. And I guess. I guess we just make the announcement. Cause you're Glenn and you can do whatever you want here.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, no, I just. You can't. You can't imagine how many things I've spoken into existence. So I'm glad you're here. Thank you so much. So let me ask you, 34 counts yesterday against Donald Trump.
How you feeling?
Jason Buttrill
Well, is it out of the realm to say I'm pissed off? Oh, is that.
Donald Trump
No.
Jason Buttrill
Okay.
Glenn Beck
I am. I am. I was. I couldn't even.
I saw it. And there was a good portion of last night, I honestly thought about calling in sick because I thought, I'm going to be so angry.
Jason Buttrill
Can I tell you? So we were taping the news and why with Sarah Gonzalez yesterday, we had to completely just stop, uh, because we heard out of the blue that the verdict was coming down. And immediately, because everyone was predicting that this, the best case scenario was a hung jury. That was the best case scenario. After the crazy instructions and rules that the judge had set. Right. Okay.
Glenn Beck
The.
Jason Buttrill
The best case scenario is hung jury. He's not going to get acquitted. But when it came that fast, instantly I knew the only possible outcome was he was getting convicted. And I could. I couldn't even explain 34 count felony counts over something that shouldn't. Even, as in the history of law in New York, has never been tried like this, has never been handled like this. Completely unprecedented. The only thing that made sense was, like, the John Grisham, you know, novel runaway jury. That's the first thing that popped into my head.
Glenn Beck
Well, you had two attorneys on the jury. Yeah. You had two attorneys. And you know that they were sitting there and they were advising and they were the ones going, no, really, honestly, this is the way it works. Yeah.
And I think they made a big, big impact. This is, to me, this is the OJ Simpson jury.
They just. OJ Simpson jury didn't matter what the facts were, they wanted him freed.
This jury, no matter what the facts were, they wanted him in jail.
Jill Savage
This outcome was predetermined.
Glenn Beck
They.
Jill Savage
They went through all of the steps to get to where we were yesterday afternoon. They raided Mar a Lago. They went through and tried him and put him on court. And you knew that. Even if they didn't get it this time, would that stop them? No, they would keep going until they got this. Because the end goal was to be able to say, Donald Trump, convicted felons, sentencing at July 11.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Jill Savage
The Republican National Convention, July 15. That is not an accident, I will tell you that.
Glenn Beck
I think that it also will be used as the excuse for Joe Biden not debating him. I don't debate a felon.
You know, yesterday I was thinking, wow, look, they're already moving on to the Supreme Court. They're already. They're moving past this and they're moving to the supreme Court. I was dumb enough not to figure, wait a minute, they are launching cannonballs at the ship saying, don't you dare get involved in this trial.
Jason Buttrill
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Because the Supreme Court is. It may end up there.
Jason Buttrill
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
And quite honestly, this is such election tampering. They should make a decision one way or another. Make a decision. Yeah, but they sent the message to Alito and Thomas and everybody else, back off, stay down. Yeah.
Jason Buttrill
That's the entire point of this process, in a nutshell, is intimidation.
Telling them to back down. Do not stand in our way. I mean, this was, I mean, not only intimidation, this is.
I mean, this is humiliation. I go back, go back to Mar a Lago.
Glenn Beck
Not for Trump.
Jason Buttrill
They went through his wife's bedroom and logged everything meticulously. They went through a minor child's bedroom and then made notes about it that they wanted to, they wanted to humiliate Donald Trump. And I'm glad you talked about like this, going to the Supreme Court, this absolutely getting appealed talk process. Just for a quick second. What happens next? This is absolutely going to get appealed. But first, he has to go to sentencing. Now, normally, in a sane world, I would say, you know, he's only gonna get probation, maybe at the very worst.
Glenn Beck
Like house arrest, a fine.
Jason Buttrill
But is this normal?
Glenn Beck
Is this put him. No.
If they put him under house arrest, where he can't go on the campaign trail. Are you out of your mind?
Jason Buttrill
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
I mean, I keep hearing this and I see the numbers of the people who are stepping to the plate. I mean, people who didn't vote and don't like for Donald Trump or don't like Donald Trump. I seen them yesterday give and commit to voting for him. There is a chance this works out horribly. Oh. However, isn't it interesting that it fits right in to one of the seven steps to a color revolution?
You've completely, no matter, even if it was a blowout even it was a blowout for Donald Trump.
You now have some illegitimate president because he's a felon.
Jason Buttrill
Oh, yeah.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Jason Buttrill
Oh, and then take that even further because, and again, this goes back to process.
If they just hand him down, let's say a probation, you know, sentence, then that's a state level case. So Trump cannot pardon himself in a state level case, but the judge can change that to a more serious sentence after other crimes have been committed. So he still has to go through how many other trials? There's the classified docs trial, there's the election tampering charge, all that. Those are going to come, probably come, come down after the election.
Glenn Beck
Oh, yeah.
Jason Buttrill
So you could, they can tack on more and more. I mean, they could probably say after that, if he just gets probation, well, after these other crimes, now he can go to jail.
Glenn Beck
You see Megyn Kelly yesterday.
Jill Savage
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
What'd you think of what she said?
Jill Savage
She wants, she wants to have the retribution is what she's saying. And that is what a lot of people are feeling. What, as republicans out there today, if you can hear us, what are you going to do leading up to the elections to make sure that they are free and fair?
We see what's happening. We see what they're doing to Donald Trump. So at the state level, which is all you can control right now, what are you going to be able to do to ensure that you can give voters some peace of mind that it's going to be legitimate going into speaker one?
Glenn Beck
That has to happen. Everybody has to be out watching and recording and everything else. However, what she's talking about is when you do get power, take them out.
Legally take them out. And I'm all for that. I mean, I've been for that since Nixon. I remember my father saying to me that, you know, he hadn't done anything, that all the presidents do, and he just got caught. And I remember feeling as a kid, that doesn't seem right. Why wouldn't we put a criminal in jail?
And, but a real criminal in jail. Think of this. This guy is the most investigated man in all of human history.
That is, that is not hyperbole. Every single intelligence agency on the planet has gone through everything and everybody trying to find anything on this guy, and this is all they could come up with. I mean, I'm shocked. Quite honestly, I'm shocked. I've told him this to his face. I think you might be the cleanest guy ever to be in the White House. I mean, how this is all they have on you.
That's remarkable.
So they take all of this and they can't get anything.
And so they have to make things up. And they, and honestly, if these polls continue to be like they are, I think they'll kill him.
I really believe these people.
No, let me just ask this.
You remember when they said Sarah Palin said the word targeting these people 24/7 for seven years have said, this guy is Hitler.
Hitler.
What, you don't think that there's somebody within the sound of your voice, you leftist, you people who broadcast with differing opinions than mine, you really haven't thought, or have you?
Or have you, and you're fine without outcome.
Jason Buttrill
I think there's been a, like a gentleman's handshake for certain peoples in power, especially within the government of going back to Nixon, but probably even before that where, yes, there is a law to land, but, yeah, we're not really going to enforce it on certain.
Glenn Beck
No, you know, you know what? I've always felt that, too. Afterwards, after that, I thought, you know, it's, it's just a gentleman's club. They're all going to, they're all in.
Mike Lee said this was when Hillary Clinton, you know, erased her servers. Okay? And I said, that woman has got to go to jail. That Mike, everyone would go to jail on that. I mean, prison, hardcore prison for that.
And he said, we don't put our political enemies. And I said, it's not just that she's a political enemy.
She's broken the law, like six ways to Sunday and put our nation in peril because of top secret information on her frickin server.
He said, glenn, once you open that door, it never closes and you become a banana republic.
Jason Buttrill
And here we are today.
Glenn Beck
And here we are today. And what did Megyn Kelly say?
Get him. Yeah, and you know what I feel inside?
Get him.
Go after Hillary Clinton with everything this, because honestly, she's right about one thing. It will never stop unless their hands are burned by the same fire.
Really? You think you can get away with this? Let's take a look at the Clinton foundation and just Somalia.
Let's take a look at your gazprom leases, Hillary. Let's reopen a few things. Oh, the statute of limitations. Well, we'll find a way around that.
Jason Buttrill
They did for Trump in New York.
Glenn Beck
Did for Trump.
Back in just a minute.
All right.
Freedom, freedom.
Freedom comes at a high cost. And sometimes that cost is not doing what feels good but doing the right thing.
You have an absolute right to protect yourself and your freedoms, but we must. And I know I don't have to say this to you, but I'm doing a commercial for Mantis X and on today I have to vocalize, we must not do what they want us to do, what they expect us to do and we haven't done, because we're better than them and they don't unders. The darkness doesn't understand the light.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Let me go to Chris.
Hello, Chris in Missouri. How are you, sir?
Chris
Chris? Michigan.
Glenn Beck
Oh, Michigan. I'm sorry, sorry. How are you, Chris?
Chris
Well, first of all, I'm great. How are you doing, sir?
Glenn Beck
Yeah, good, good.
Chris
Well, first of all, I would like to thank you for the words of encouragement, the beautiful words, as always, Glenn. Thank you.
I am proud Polish American, proud Paul and proud american.
Poles lost independence for 123 years.
What's happening right now in America? I call it the second Bolsheviks revolution. This is the great reset.
We have a leader and we have to stand behind our leader. We have to get strong, we have to get united.
Poles fought all over the world to get their country back.
I hope we don't fall that deep, but we have to fight. We have to get united, we have to get smart and we have to realize that these people want to destroy we the people. This is the war against the human and we have to fight.
Glenn Beck
So did you feel like we lost the war yesterday?
Chris
No, no, no. This is how I take this, Glenn, is simply to the call to wake up more people.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Chris
I strongly believe that this nation will defend the world. The revolution is happening here and we Americans are standing on their way. And we have to win this not only for ourselves, not only for our children, but for the children, for the next generations in the rest of the world.
Glenn Beck
Chris, thank you very much. God bless you and may God save the republic. I think I'm going to announce something next hour that I wasn't going to announce until July, but I think today is a good day to do that.
We'll do that and bring you more updates and some of the people involved in all of this coming up in just a few minutes. Stand by the Glenn Beck program.
Room to compromise.
We gotta get together.
Stand up straight.
It's a new day. I turn around.

You know, I am. I'm really reminded of the scripture over and over and over, today and yesterday, and the darkness does not understand the light.
Look, we're gonna talk here for a minute about the Donald Trump verdict and the persecution. I mean, honest to God, I'm watching Twitter and CNN, and it's like they're just screaming, we want barabbas. We want barabbas. It was insane to me. And they're all celebrating, and I. I don't think they really understand what they are doing to America.
I mean, the psyche of America. They think they're depressing you.
I don't think it's gonna work out that way. I just don't. And we'll explain and talk about it here in just a second. Stand by.
Pretty obvious right now, Americans need to get back to our roots. We need to remember who we are, what we stand for.
Hard times made us.
So let me talk to you about american giant.
The owner of american giant is an incredible guy, and he started american giant by rescuing a clothing company that was about to be shut down in North Carolina. And they started producing quality american clothing with american grown cotton. American workers, they brought some of the machines back, the textile machines that had been lost back in the seventies. Not lost. They were sold to Japan, where Japan could make the things that we could no longer make. So he went and found them, brought them back, restored them, and trained Americans how to use them again. That's why their hoodie is the best, best made in America, I think, since the seventies. Jobs were saved, more jobs were created, and we're making things in America. And if today is not the day to realize that we need to support America and, gee, make America great again.

All right, we have Jason Butrill on with us today. He's my head researcher.
He is a guy who has been. We have been researching the great reset and the color revolution and all of this crap for, gosh, over a decade now together, haven't we?
Jason Buttrill
How are we sane right now from that?
Glenn Beck
Oh, we are.
Jason Buttrill
Yeah, that's true.
Glenn Beck
That's a good point. And Jill Savage joins us. There's a new program starting on blaze at the end of June, and I can't tell you how excited I am for this.
I've seen this in the works here for eight months to a year, and we're really doing this one right. And it's great to have you with us. You're going to be the host of the new program that begins in late June. They'll make an official announcement, I'm sure, soon, but welcome.
Jill Savage
Thank you. And a huge viewer of all of the chalkboards. I love them, and I still somehow have my sanity, even as a viewer of all of these years, watching them.
Glenn Beck
So you came from the sports world, right?
Jill Savage
I did, yeah.
Glenn Beck
What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you here? Why have you chosen to?
You know you're gonna end up looking like me.
Jill Savage
I hope not, Glenn. No offense.
Donald Trump
I hope not.
Jill Savage
But I think this was always part of my plan. I grew up sitting next to my dad, and whatever he liked, I liked. So it was sports history and politics.
I knew I would say things before the announcers would say them on the game. And I was in junior high, and I was like, that's so easy. I'm gonna do that. Not realizing all the work that you have to put in behind the scenes. But then I always knew when I was 18 years old, I said, at some point, I will turn over to politics. And I grew up watching your show. And, you know, Buttrell was one of the first people that I saw when I got to come in here as a contributor for the first time. And just talking with you guys and seeing that, this is what I feel like I was meant to be doing the whole time. Sports was fun, and I got to do really cool things. But at the end of the day, if there's not a country left. Yeah, the sports don't matter, right?
Glenn Beck
I have almost the same story, except it was alcoholism, not sports. Alcoholism was fun, but I had to give it up and do something of painting.
Jason Buttrill
Can I go in reverse and get the job you left?
Glenn Beck
Can I go to the sports world?
Jill Savage
I'll give you my connection.
Jason Buttrill
Don't worry.
Jill Savage
We'll put you in contact.
Glenn Beck
You know what it is? I mean, this. The blaze. And I want to start with this and make sure this is. You understand, this is. I am not comparing myself or my situation or our situation in any way to the situation of Donald Trump. This is a little teeny example of it. But one of the things that has happened at the blaze is we have started so many careers here. I mean, a lot of people started with the blaze, and the influence is tremendous. Now we are the largest conservative.
Video, what is it? Video platform or video consumption? I can't remember what the stat is in the world. In the world. It's crazy.
Here's why I bring this up.
What they did to Donald Trump, Cheryl Atkinson in her book will tell you, all of these things started and they thought they perfected it when they took me down, tried to take me down. Okay. And one of the things I said, the last show on the air, you will wish for the days when I was only on at 05:00 on Fox because I knew what we were going to build.
Now, it's not just my voice, it's your voice. It's your voice. It's hundreds of voices, daily wire. All of these things sprouted up because we made that first move that they don't understand.
And they showed it again with what they did with Donald Trump. Every time they throw another charge at him, his ratings went up. Yeah, every time with this. Do you think that's going to shake his voters? No. And I saw person after person after person last night on Twitter saying, I don't even like Donald Trump. I never voted for Donald Trump, but to hell with this. I see who they are now. I'm voting for Donald Trump or I'm contributing to Donald Trump.
Jill Savage
Yeah, absolutely. And I pulled some of these tweets. Christine Flower said, breaking news, Donald Trump just won race not because of him, despite him. My vote is going against the people that destroyed my faith in our judicial system.
Glenn Beck
Wow.
Jill Savage
Daniel Bosik said, I'm an RFK guy, and I can't believe I'm saying this. I just donated to Trump 24. I can't take this anymore. These freaks are destroying our country more. When, when you look at Jeremy Tate, he says, I don't love Trump, but the far left just pushed me into his camp. What a joke. And this was echoed all night long. People who, who don't like Trump.
Glenn Beck
Right?
Jill Savage
We know Maga is out there. We know that they're in his corner. People who didn't like him are now saying, I can't believe what I'm seeing, what my country has turned into.
Glenn Beck
I have to tell you, I wrote last night a couple of things on X. One for a group of people who seem to love jihad.
They seem to be in bed with Hamas and al Qaeda and everything else. What is this the worst thing you can do to a movement like that? What's the worst thing you could do?
Jason Buttrill
Silent. Try to silence it, suppress it?
Glenn Beck
Kill their leader?
Jason Buttrill
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Okay. Wipe their leader out. You make them into a martyr. It's why we dumped Osama bin Laden's body into the ocean, so there would be no body to go and worship. Okay, what are they thinking?
You guys love that. You know that jihadists are like, go ahead, kill our leader. Do it, do it, do it. Yeah, I tweeted the same kind of thought yesterday with watch episode five of Star wars. Go ahead, strike me down. You will only make me more powerful.
These people are morons.
Jason Buttrill
Well, are they? And that's what's even more concerning. Well, two things happened yesterday as a result of this. One, the biggest online, you know, source for, you know, for funding the GOP was, you know, win red crashed because of this outcry and all the people donating.
Glenn Beck
Now, now, wait a minute.
Jason Buttrill
Oh, is that.
Glenn Beck
Not now, wait a minute. I heard on a news broadcast. Oh, and I say news in quotation marks, a cable news outlet, I think it was c. I don't remember who it was. I don't want to blame anybody.
But they said, well, that website crashed because the, they added a comment from Donald Trump and it, it just hadn't reset. And so it caused it to crash. And I'm like, yeah, that happens to news websites and big websites. All the happens to Glenn Beck.com all the time. We'll add a line that I said and the whole thing crashes for an hour. I think.
Jason Buttrill
Well, I think it was either that excuse or the intern tripped over the power court.
Glenn Beck
Right? Either. Or if it wasn't because of all of the donations coming in, it was because the deep state shut it down. Yeah, there's only two answers to that.
Jason Buttrill
The other thing that happened was, have you noticed that CNN, MSNBC, they refused to show anything from Donald Trump or their censor it and say, oh, there's this too much, you know, inaccurate. So we're not gonna, we're not even gonna give him the time of day. We're gonna platform. Every single one of them was covering his speech as he walked out of the courtroom. Yeah, every single one. So the entire country got to hear directly from President Trump what is happening to him, that he's a political prisoner.
Glenn Beck
You know, it's an amazing thing to see that this, the most important OJ Simpson wasn't the most important trial of the century to America. Not even this one really decides the health of the Republican. And they were so confident in what they had, but you can't watch it, and none of them are. You heard Dershowitz. He's like, I was in the courtroom and he doesn't vote for Donald Trump. I was in the courtroom, and then I saw the reporting from the mainstream media. It's two different worlds.
Jason Buttrill
Dershowitz said this was the weakest case he had seen in 60 years of teaching and practicing.
Glenn Beck
You know, last time I talked to Dershowitz, you know what he said?
You know, I voted for Biden before, and I've always voted for democrats. I haven't made up my mind yet who I'm voting for.
Excuse me. Yeah, I thought that was massive.
Jason Buttrill
Massive, Glenn. So you said, are they morons? I think the scariest part of this is you talk about color revolution. You talk about what I pointed out earlier when after the other cases get tried and if this state case, which he cannot pardon himself for, will the sentencing get upgraded once he gets convicted of other crimes and they try to put a sitting president in jail, that goes right along the color revolution steps.
Glenn Beck
Yes.
I mean, I think I said at one point, and you came in, I think, during a break on Wednesday night show because I ad libbed something when we were looking at the seven steps and I said, you know, Biden and unpopular, but it also works to Donald Trump or something. I don't remember exactly what. And I had, didn't have time because it was so tight of a show to really explain. And you said, what did you mean by that? And what I meant was they might actually want him to win because color revolution is almost guaranteed if he wins. And you don't even need to have, you could have him win 70 30, but you could have color revolution because people would, they would riot in the streets and say, he's a felon. You can't have a felon as president, whatever it is.
And this law fair stuff is just going to continue and continue and continue. And people don't understand. On the left, they think. Not on the left, in the Democrats, the average Democrat actually thinks that maybe justice was done here.
Are you that blind that you cannot see what's happening?
And, and you really think we'll have a two party system? I mean, we barely have a two party system now, but you, the, both parties are happy with him going away.
Have you ever seen anyone, anyone, serial killers ever been hunted like this before?
Jill Savage
No. And they would absolutely be rioting in the streets if this was reversed, if this was against Joe Biden today, we would see rioting and looting.
Glenn Beck
No, I think if he would have been found innocent of the 34, they would have been rioting yesterday.
Jill Savage
Absolutely. And I would say that this is probably Soros's money paying dividends this week, right? He put in all of the money to get the das in all of the different states, right? He, he's out there. He has so much money to, to go ahead and, and use at his, his discretion. But this is what is paying off the most for him because we see the illegals going out there and beating up the New York police officers.
Glenn Beck
Yes. They don't go to jail.
Jill Savage
They aren't going to jail. Donald Trump is going to jail today. So that is exactly the outcome that he wanted with his money when he put them in place.
Glenn Beck
I can't believe. Cause I lived in New York and Donald Trump was revered by everybody. Everybody loved him. Everybody loved him. And the reason why was he got crap done.
You know, when something, when the city would fail, he would step in with his own money and be like, oh, God, let me just finish this. And it'd be finished and it'd be great.
And everybody loved him. And now New York hates him that much. It's, it's an incredible pr job that they have done on him.
Jason Buttrill
Not only that, Hollywood loved him, the music industry loved him.
Glenn Beck
Everybody loved him. Everybody loved him. All right, back in just a second.
All right, welcome to America, home of bananas.
Sometimes banana republics show up and you have to stand up against it or you become Cuba or you become Venezuela. You know, we're 20 years into this at least. You know how long it took to take Venezuela and take it from a great wealthy country to a crap hole? About 20 years. Great.
Here's the thing. We have to stand together.
Today is the day you take the easiest step in the right direction to support people who are supporting the republic. This is the easiest one. Patriotmobile.com beck, make the choice today. If you haven't fully dedicated yourself to the cause, this is the easiest way.
All you have to do is say, I'm not doing business with Verizon anymore. I'm not going to do business with the big three anymore. I won't do it because they take some of their profits and they give it to things that are destroying the republic.
Patriot Mobile doesn't do that. Now they are on the same cell towers, so you're going to get the same service, but you're going to get at a lower cost. In fact, if you join today, you will get your first month free.
Patriot Mobile, they're in fighting with you.
Patreon mobile.com Beck, join them. Nine, seven, two. Patriot 972. Patriot or patriotmobile.com? beck, 10 seconds. Station id so what's the guy's name that. That left the DOJ took a step down. I mean, it's one thing to take a lateral move.
You're stepping down from the DOJ to go to New York.
Yeah. What was that? Eisenhower?
Jason Buttrill
No, that's not him.
Glenn Beck
No.
Jason Buttrill
It was Matthew Colangello.
Glenn Beck
Matthew Colangello?
Jason Buttrill
Yeah. He was a DNC political consultant. He was third ranking member in Biden's DOJ and then said, screw that. I'm gonna go work with Bragg specifically on this case.
Glenn Beck
Gee, wait a minute. Really?
Jason Buttrill
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
That seems like collusion.
Jason Buttrill
I'm sure the Biden administration didn't even know what was going on.
Glenn Beck
No, he was just like, no idea.
Jason Buttrill
I'm gonna do this pro bono.
Glenn Beck
That's what I'm gonna do. Right, right.
Can we play the audio of Eisen, please?
You have it? Listen, from CNN, I think.
Donald Trump
And here's what I discovered. Yes. That in the most serious FBR cases.
Glenn Beck
A sentence of imprisonment is routinely imposed. This is the most serious falsifying business records case in the history of the.
Donald Trump
State of New York.
Glenn Beck
I think Alvin Bragg is gonna ask.
Donald Trump
For a sentence of incarceration, and I.
Glenn Beck
Think Judge Marshawn will very seriously weigh that.
Donald Trump
So the special treatment, you're saying would.
Jason Buttrill
Be if you were not given a prison sentence.
Glenn Beck
Right. And I think Judge Mershon will look at the case.
We've debated this.
Uh huh.
Do it.
Strike me down.
Jill Savage
Listen to the excitement in his voice.
Glenn Beck
Oh, I know. Yeah, I know.
Jason Buttrill
He's. So. Do we have time to go through his background? Just who that guy is. So, Norm Eisen, he is a political hack of all political hacks. He was a classmate with Barack Obama.
Glenn Beck
Oh.
Jason Buttrill
Went directly to work after Obama won at the White House, was given an ambassadorship by Obama. Then he was also quoted in that Time magazine piece of the secret cabal, saving the democracy. Saving democracy. If you're saving democracy, you're usually called a. A secret cabal.
Glenn Beck
Time magazine quoted them as saying it was a secret cabal.
Jason Buttrill
Yeah. Never mind the fact that it's talking about the transition integrity project, fight back, table, the origins of color revolution that were about to happen.
But we're gonna listen to this guy over the credibility of this judge in this case. Shut up.
Glenn Beck
And that's quite a statement. We're gonna listen to this guy over the cred, the credibility of this judge.
Oh, wow. That's our choice here, America. Back in just a second.
Stand up, Glenn Beck.
You know, you wouldn't think that getting to sleep at night would be all that hard then again, you probably wouldn't have thought that you'd have to put things like show trials on your american presidential politics bingo card.

Listen to all of your favorite conservative voices@blazetv.com. glenn use promo code Fauci lied.
Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Glad you're here. I want to announce something that I was not going to announce until around July, but next week, or actually today, I get on a plane, I'm going to Nashville, where I'm going to be speaking in Nashville at. What is that thing called?
Jill Savage
Roll call.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, roll call. Thank you.
You know more than I do. Roll call. It's roll call with Jason Whitlock. And it is to help men become men, help boys become men and reclaim our rightful place at the table. And that is to be the protector of our families and our freedom and our God and not cower in the corner anymore.
And he's got a ton of speakers. And I'm honored to be there tomorrow at noon where I'm going to be giving a speech.
You can get your tickets. I think there might be a few left@fearlessarmyrolecall.com. if you're a man and or, you know, you're a single, even single mom and you want your son to come, come tomorrow and experience that weekend with us. So I'll be there tomorrow. Then I'm flying to Prague, where I'm working. And this seems so almost ridiculous now from yesterday, but I'm putting together a traditional Christmas album. I'm producing it. I'm not singing in it or anything else. I'm just producing it. So I'm going over to Prague to work with the Prague symphony orchestra to record the string tracks and the orchestral tracks. I'll be doing that for about three days. So I'll be off next week. Then I fly back to New York, where I'm going to be giving a speech at the talkers convention. And this is to, I'm just going to be talking about story.
We have lost our stories, and those who sit behind a microphone of any kind need to learn how to tell stories and the importance of stories.
And so I will be gone all next week, but then I will be back from, from that vacation, as my wife says, I'll be back the following Monday.
But believe me, I will be paying attention to everything that is going on.
One of the things that we have been working on here at the museum for the last two months is, I said, by June 1, I want copies made of absolutely everything.
And the important pieces are going into a mountain vault. And because that's what I felt called to do back in 2009. We have the largest collection of Jamestown and pilgrim documents and artifacts. We have the third largest, only outside of the Library of Congress and the national Archives of founding documents. We have an enormous civil war artifact and document treasure trove. And soon we will have the largest progressive eugenics, abortion, final solution documents, probably outside of the Holocaust museum in the world. And we are doing everything we can to preserve them. I also have an enormous library of books and papers from the radicals in the 1960s, and we are currently collecting things from today.
And it has been my calling, I have felt, to spend my time and my effort and my money and my attention on preserving these things. And I believe that, and I have felt this way for a few, well, probably six or eight months that this summer and until the next president is sworn in and is stable, things are going to get a little dicey, and I want to make sure that they're preserved. In doing so, I and my team have prayed a lot. How do we preserve these things?
And, you know, I thought, well, you know, a granite, you know, a granite mountain vault would be a really good place to keep them.
But that's to that. That would preserve things for a nuclear war. It wouldn't necessarily preserve them from an out of control government that wanted to destroy our history.
So through prayer, we have decided that we are going to put packets together and we're going to seal them. We haven't decided yet if we're going to seal them. We're going to ask you to vacuum seal them, but we're going to print them on acid free paper. We're going to print copies of all of the important documents, and we're going to put them in bunches. For instance, you know, we'll have the Jamestown pilgrim, and then we'll have the founding era, and then we'll do, when we first went wrong with Jackson up to the civil War and then the Civil War and the progressive era. And you'll be able to buy whatever packet you want, and you can use it to teach your children, but more importantly, you can preserve it yourself. I think it's a lot easier to preserve a million documents than one.
You'll never be able to find all of them. And I would ask that you would be a part of this, putting them together. Now, I wasn't going to announce it until in July, but I want you to know how serious yesterday was and how we have seen these times coming. It's not a surprise, and it's not a surprise to God.
The details may be a surprise to us, but never surprise to him.
And everything that we have talked about since I was on radio after September 11 and started doing television, it's all here. It's all here. And I am asking you to pray on if you would play a role in preserving our national treasures and documents.
And I'll give you more on that, exactly how that's going to happen later, probably later this month or early in July. The other thing I wanted to mention, and I'm sorry to go on here, because we're waiting for Donald Trump to come up, and he's going to be speaking in a few minutes. We'll be carrying that live station. So, you know, but the other thing I want to tell you, because I think it's important in some ways today, if we want to preserve our republic, we have to teach our children, and they have to know both the good and the bad. And in those packets, there are going to be bad things that our country did, a lot of them, especially when we get to the progressive era and the Jackson era, really bad things have been done, and we have to know them.
But only 40% of generation Z could name a right in the Bill of rights from multiple choice.
They don't know our history. They don't know who we are. So the other thing I've been working on with Michaela Hedrick is chasing embers. It's a, it's a new series. It's young adult, and it's coming out, I don't even know, July 23. And it is, it's full of secret codes and everything else. If you want to go that deep. You'll be able to find out all kinds of different things in it, but also it's filled with pieces of history. And hopefully enough that we'll get your child, your teenager, you as an adult, to go, ooh, what is that? What did they. I didn't know that. Or what is that? And you can go to the website and we will have the documents and we will have the story, in a way to creatively teach our kids important people and history. Not dates and places, but stories.
It's not a history book. It is an adventure. And it is a dystopian thriller for young adults called Chasing Embers.
And if you want to pre order it, you can do that now at glenn beck.com.
one other thing I want to tell you, and then I'm just. I'll leave you alone on all this. I'm sorry, is the last two books have been published under Mercury Inc.
Distributed by Simon and Schuster. But I don't have a contract anymore with Simon and Schuster. I don't want a contract with anyone.
I want to do it ourselves. But distribution into bookstores, you have to have a major distributor like Simon and Schuster that can handle it.
The other way to order books is always through Amazon. Amazon takes about half of the profits.
I think Jeff Bezos can, well, do things that I can't say on regulated radio.
So I want to get away from everyone. That is part of the problem.
So you can order, pre order the book right now at glenn beck.com. and we are fulfilling all of that. But you can also go to Amazon or wherever if it's convenient. But I would ask that you don't put more money into their pockets, because I don't want to put more money in their pockets. And believe me, everything that we do, we reinvest in history. So you can order it at glenn beck.com right now. It's called chasing embers.
And you can, you know, get it wherever books are sold on July 23. This may be the last time we use any other distribution or any other bookstore, unless they're a bookstore that, you know, doesn't put my book in the back.
So all of that and more coming up. Thank you so much for giving me that time to say that. I apologize on such an important day. But I think this is important information for you and for your kids, because if we are going to save the republic, we must know our history.
All right. I don't want to alarm you, but, you know, the guy at the top of the administration and.
And everybody in his administration that is now borrowing $1 trillion every 100 days and at the same time destroying our economy and the free market system. Yeah, it's, it's not going to end well. It's not going to end well. And I hear all the time people say, I'm not rich. I don't have enough money for gold. I get it. I get it.
But when I first started saying this, it was $300 an ounce. I don't even know what is it today.
$2,300 an ounce, I think. And silver is $31 an ounce.
You can still afford silver. And no matter how much you have, just 10%, please. Because they are destroying the dollar. And when that dollar is destroyed, you know what your choice will be? A CBDC, a central bank digital currency that will track absolutely everything you do. They control it. You can never withdraw it from the bank.
If they want you to spend it, you'll have, it will expire if you don't spend it. It is total and complete control. Or you can have some cushion and maybe have 10% of what you had left and you can have some freedom as we figure out what to do next. 809 five seven gold. 800 957 gold. Gold or silver? Now from Lear capital, it's 809 five seven gold. Do it now.
Our opinions weighing you down.
Call in and let it out.
888727 B E C K. This is the Glenn Beck program.
Welcome back to the program, filling in for Stu. And do not tell him that I have both Jason and Jill here, because then he'll say it took two people to replace me.
Jill Savage, who is, is going to be doing a really good news show soon. We're going to be announcing soon on Blaze tv. She's joining us. And Jason Butter is also with us. Last night, the donations were crazy to the Trump campaign.
Jill Savage
Yeah, we heard about how they crashed the site. Now we have the actual numbers that came out. Trump war room. The official account for the campaign said that they had a record shattering small donor fundraising haul that amounted to over $34.8 million.
So basically a million dollars for every felony.
Glenn Beck
A great way to look at it.
Jill Savage
Around 30% of them were brand new donors. They'd never donated before. But that was the action item.
Glenn Beck
You know, what you brought to the table. I think it was last hour of the people that are saying, I'm, I've never voted and I can't believe I'm donating. I, I don't even like Trump. Yeah, but I'm voting. I, there's a chance that this will help overcome all of the cheating that will probably happen in the next election.
Jason Buttrill
Alvin Bragg could have handed the GOP the Senate, the House and the presidency.
Glenn Beck
I hope. I hope so. And not because I'm a fan of the GOP, but I hope people are waking up and seeing these, the people that want to protect democracy.
These are the people that are trying to say, our republic is under attack by Donald Trump.
This is what they do.
I mean, to me, it has been so obvious for so long, but, but hopefully this is woken more people up.
Jason Buttrill
It absolutely has. I mean, all the independents that Trump lost in the last election, that's what lost him the last election. The independents that just switched from side to side, that gave him the election in 2016 but lost it in 2020. What are they thinking right now? If you have RFK junior right now, if he's saying, okay, what they did was bad, if he's admitting that while also running against Trump as president, if you have all the other people that I saw on Twitter last night, it was insane.
Glenn Beck
Insane.
Jason Buttrill
Unless they were like an MSNBC hack or one of their in the bag lawyers, they were the only ones that were saying, oh, yeah, this is legit. And every other person is recognizing the danger that we're currently in. And this was country ending stuff.
Glenn Beck
And you have to ask yourself, why have they spent this amount of time and money trying to destroy him?
You know, everybody's born for a reason. And, you know, Ronald Reagan said, I've been saying the same thing since the 1960s. And then all of a sudden in the eighties, I'm popular. He said, there's a window of time for everybody, and you just fall into that window. And then when your time is up, you just kind of, it just moves on. Life moves on. Donald Trump, he is the right man for this season only, because if this wouldn't have happened yesterday, I'm not sure how many millions of Americans that woke up yesterday would have woken up. I don't know if they would have woken up. He is, because of what they're doing to him, he is again exposing the dangers of our own government. Glenn Beck program.
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment.
We interrupt this really clever song for Donald Trump, who's just stepped to the microphone in Trump Tower.
Donald Trump
Thank you very much, everybody.
This is a case where if they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone.
These are bad people.
These are, in many cases, I believe, sick people.
When you look at our country, what's happening, where millions and millions of people are flowing in from all parts of the world, not just South America from Africa, from Asia, from the Middle east.
And they're coming in from jails and prisons, and they're coming in from mental institutions and insane asylums.
They're coming in from all over the world into our country.
And we have a president and a group of fascists that don't want to do anything about it because they could, right now, today, he could stop it. But he's not. They're destroying our country. But right now, today, stop it. They're very much destroying our country. Our country is in very bad shape. And raise your tax.
Glenn Beck
This is amazing what is happening. This is from his own website.
Can you. We, can we switch sources or just keep it up so we can hear it? Sorry for the difficulty.
Donald Trump
Serious problem.
Glenn Beck
There we go.
Donald Trump
That we have. We just went through one of many experiences where we had a conflicted judge. Highly conflicted. There's never been a more conflicted judge. Now I'm under a gag order, which nobody's ever been under. No presidential candidate's ever been under a gag order before.
I'm under a gag order, nasty gag order, where I've had to pay thousands of dollars in penalties and fines and was threatened with jail.
Think of it. I'm the leading candidate.
I'm leading Biden by a lot, and I'm leading the Republicans to the point where that's over.
So I'm the leading person for president, and I'm under a gag order by a man that can't put two sentences together given by a court, and they are in total conjunction with the White House and the DOJ. Just so you understand, this is all done by Biden and his people and maybe his people. More importantly, I don't know if Biden knows too much about it, because I don't know if he knows about anything.
But he's nevertheless the president. So we have to use his name.
And this is done by Washington, and nobody's ever seen anything like it. So we have a judge who's highly conflicted. You know what the confliction is? Nobody, nobody wants to write about it, and I'm not allowed to talk about it. If I do, he said, I get put in jail.
So we'll play that game a little bit longer. We won't talk about it, but you're allowed to talk about it. I hope you do, because there's never been anybody so conflicted as this.
Glenn Beck
We will in a minute.
Donald Trump
As far as the trial itself, it was very unfair.
We weren't allowed, allowed to use our election expert under any circumstances.
You saw what happened to some of the witnesses that were on our side. They were literally crucified by this man who looks like an angel, but he's really a devil.
He looks so nice and soft. People say, oh, he seems like such a nice man. No. Unless you saw him in action and you saw that with a certain witness that went through hell.
And when we wanted to do things, he wouldn't let him. He wouldn't let us do those things. But when the government wanted something, they got everything. They got everything they wanted.
It's a rigged. It was a rigged trial. We wanted a venue change where we could have a fair trial. We didn't get it. We wanted a judge change. We wanted a judge that wasn't conflicted.
And obviously he didn't do that.
Nobody's ever seen anything like it. We had a Da who was a failed Da. Crime is rampant in New York. Violent crime. That's what he's really supposed to be looking at.
Crime is rampant in New York.
Yesterday, McDonald's, you had a man hitting him up with. With machetes. A machete.
Whoever can imagine even a machete being wielded in a store, in a place where they're eating and he's going rampant and Bragg is down watching a trial on what they call crimes. Crimes. They're falsifying business records. That sounds so bad to me. It sounds very bad. You know, it's only a misdemeanor, but to me it sounds so bad. When they say falsifying business, that's a bad thing for me. I've never had that before. I'm falsifying. You know what falsifying business records is in the first degree. They say falsifying business records sounds so good, right?
It means that legal expense.
I paid a lawyer, totally legal. I paid a lawyer, a legal expense and a bookkeeper without any knowledge from me, correctly marked it down in the books. A very professional woman, highly respected, she testified, marked it down in the books as a legal expense. So a legal expense paid a lawyer is a legal expense in the books. It's not sheetrock construction or any other thing. It's a legal expense. Think of that. This is what the falsification of business records were. And I said, what else are you going to call it?
What else are you going to call it now? I would have testified. I wanted to testify.
The theory is you never testify because as soon as you test for anybody, if it were George Washington, don't testify because they'll get you on something that you said slightly wrong. And then they sue you for perjury. But I didn't care about that.
Glenn Beck
I wanted to, only him.
Donald Trump
But the judge allowed them to go into everything that I was ever involved in. Not this case, everything that I was ever involved in, which is a first. In other words, you could go into every single thing that I ever did. Was he a bad boy here? Was he a bad boy there?
And my lawyer said, what do you need to go through? And all you wanted to do is testify simply on this case.
Because I would have loved to have testified to this day. I would have liked to have testified. But you would have been, you would have said something out of whack, like, it was a beautiful, sunny day and it was actually raining out. And I very much appreciate the big crowd of people outside. That's incredible what's happening. The level of support has been incredible.
So the whole thing is legal expense was marked down as legal expense. Think of it. This is my, this is the crime that I committed that I'm supposed to go to jail for 187 years for.
When you have violent crime all over this city at levels that nobody's ever seen before, where you have businesses leaving and businesses are leaving because of this, because heads of businesses say, man, we don't want to get involved with that. I could go through the books of any business person in this city, and I could find things that, in theory, I guess, let's indict him, let's destroy his life.
But I'm out there, and I don't mind being out there, because I'm doing something for this country and I'm doing something for our constitution. It's very important. Far beyond me.
And this can't be allowed to happen to other presidents. It should never be allowed to happen in the future. But this is far beyond me. This is bigger than Trump. This is bigger than me. This is bigger than my presidency.
And the people understand it because I just see a poll just came out, the Daily Mail, that was the first one came out, was done last night right after the verdict, where I'm up six points, six points from what we already were. We were leading fairly substantially.
We're up six points in the Daily Mail poll. Now, maybe other polls come out and say something differently, but a lot of people have predicted it because the public understands and they understand what's, what's going on. This is a scam. This is a rigged trial.
It shouldn't have been in that venue. We shouldn't have had that judge.
He should have allowed us to have an election expert. We had the best expert, most respected expert, head of the Federal elections commission. He was all set to testify. He was waiting for two days, and when it was his turn, Bragg's people protested, and the judge knocked him out, said, you can't testify. He actually said, you can't testify for anything having to do with the trial. You can say what the federal elections is. Well, that doesn't help. Everybody knows that, but you can't testify. So essentially, he wasn't able to testify. Other people weren't able to testify. But with these people, they were able to use people. Salacious, by the way, and nothing ever happened. There was no anything. Nothing ever happened. Did they know it? But they were as salacious as they could be. And it had nothing to do with the case, but it had to do with politics.
And do you notice the timing? The timing was perfect.
This case was dead. It was dropped by every agency, every governmental board.
It was dropped by the highly respected southern district.
They said, no, there's no case here.
It was dropped by federal election. And that's what it's about. This is about a federal election, not a state election. You're not even allowed to look at it.
They took the state and the city, and they went into a federal election. They're not allowed. The people from federal election, southern district, and Washington dropped the case. Everybody dropped the case. There was no case.
Saivantz dropped the case.
And when Brad came in, he said, this is the most ridiculous case I've ever seen. And who would have a certain person again, gag order.
Who would have a certain person like this ever testify?
He said, this is essentially one of the worst people I've ever seen ever to testify.
He said, the craziest case I've ever seen. This is Bragg.
Then when I announced I was running for president, long time later, they decided to revive this case, and they got a judge, Judge Marshan, who was responsible for another case that was also brought. It destroyed the life of a very good man, by the way, destroyed the life of a very good man who went to prison once.
And then they just put him in prison again because they said he lied. He didn't lie. I looked at the statements he made. In fact, he didn't remember something, and they put him in jail again. They've destroyed him with me for many years. He was an honorable person. He was an honest man.
And if you look at what he did, supposedly it never happened. There's never been anything like this over the education of his grandchildren, over. He didn't report that he had a car or two cars on his income. I don't know. I wonder how many people here have cars. I wonder how many people said, oh, gee, I have a car that's worth x dollars. How do you even figure it? And I guess you do have to report it. But I would say probably almost nobody does. Nobody even thinks about it. They put this man, they destroyed this man, but they put him in jail again because they didn't want him to testify.
They didn't want him to testify. That's why he went to jail.
Put him in jail twice.
He's 77 years old now. Normally I'd say that's an old guy, but I don't feel 77.
Nobody ever says that about me. I'd like them to say, gee, we have to have a little sorrow for this man, because they don't. They just don't say that about me. But maybe I'm better off that way. I think I'm probably better off that way. But they put him in jail twice and you have to see what. They put him in jail. And he was threatened by the judge.
This man was told, you're going to get 15 years in jail if you don't give up Trump.
And he was told that you're going to get 15 years in jail.
And he made a plea deal because he didn't want to spend the rest of his life. And he was told that viciously, we're living in a fascist state.
He was told that viciously.
So you can go to jail for four months, five months, or you can get 15 years in jail. So do a plea almost. Who wouldn't do that plea? Everyone does those pleas. It's a horrible thing.
There's a whole group of lawyers that fight that. It's so unfair. It's so unfair.
But they destroyed his life. So many other things. You look at Southern District, didn't want to bring the case.
Nobody wanted to bring the case.
And then, you know who didn't want to bring the case most of all is Bragg. Bragg didn't want to bring it, but then he brought it and they tried to make it a different case. They didn't say legal expense equal legal expense. Again, if I wrote down and paid a lawyer, and by the way, this was a highly qualified lawyer. Now, I'm not allowed to use his name because of the gag order. But you know, he's a sleazebag. Everybody knows that. Took me a while to find out.
But he was effective. He did work, but he wasn't a fixer. He was a lawyer. You know, they like to use the word fixer. He wasn't a fixer. He was a lawyer. At the time, he was a fully accredited lawyer. Now he got into trouble, not because of me. He got into trouble because he made outside deals and he had something to do with taxicabs and medallions and he borrowed money.
And that's why he went. And then he pled to three election violations.
And as soon as I saw that, I said, I wonder why he did that. He pled. He took a deal.
Now he took a deal because he wanted to get off.
In other words, I'll take a plea deal and I want to get off. And he wanted to make a deal with the southern district. And they wrote the worst report I think I've ever seen on any human being, other than the report that was written on James Comey by the inspector general. A very great inspector general actually wrote a report that was so bad, this one was possibly worse.
The southern district, the judge didn't let us use it. He said, it's hearsay. I said, it's not hearsay. Wouldn't let us use it. This is about the man.
But he got in trouble for a very simple reason, because he was involved with borrowing a lot of money and he did something with the banks. I don't know if it's defrauded the banks, but something happened. You guys know what it is. And then in addition to that, he gave up on three things where he wasn't guilty. In fact, they were going to testify in that. The head of the FEC, the Brad Smith, the election expert rated in the country, was going to testify.
He took a plea on three things. He just added them in because that gave him more bargaining power with respect to me. But the three things that he pled on having to do with the election and having to do essentially a little bit with me, they weren't crimes.
They weren't crimes, nor is paying money under an NDA.
So we have an NDA non disclosure agreement.
It's a big deal in nondisclosure agreement. Totally honorable, totally good, totally accepted. Everybody has them.
Every company has non disclosure agreements.
But the press called it slush fund and all sorts of other things.
Hush money, hush money. It's not hush money. It's called the non disclosure agreement.
And most of the people in this room have a non disclosure agreement with their company.
It's a disgrace.
So it's not hush money. It's a non disclosure agreement. Totally legal, totally common.
Everyone has it. And what happened is he signed a non disclosure agreement with this person, I guess other people, but it's totally honest. You're allowed to make the payment. You don't have to make it. You can make it any way you want. It's a non disclosure agreement.
And he signed that and there was nothing wrong with signing it. And this should have been a non case. And everybody said it was a non case, including Bragg. Bragg said, until I ran for office. And then they saw the polls. I was leading the Republicans, I was leading the Democrats, I was leading everybody. And all of a sudden they brought it back.
It's a very sad thing that's happening in our country.
And it's a.
It's a thing that I'm honored, in a way. I'm honored. It's not that it's pleasant. It's very bad for family, it's very bad for friends and businesses.
But I'm honored to be involved in it because somebody has to do it and I might as well keep going and be the one. But I'm very honored to be involved because we're fighting for our constitution.
The money that was paid was paid legally. There was nothing illegal.
In fact, the lawyer in creating the NDA, because at that time he was a fully accredited lawyer. He wasn't a fixer.
I never thought of him as a fixer. The media called him a fixer or the prosecutors called him a fixer. He was a lawyer and he was fairly good.
Later on, I didn't like what he did. I didn't like, for instance, I didn't like that. When I became president, he went around and made deals with companies. When I heard that he was gone, he was gone.
And he had payments coming to him.
And a lot of this involved things that are very simple. There was nothing wrong. These were standard. This was standard stuff. All standard stuff. Everything involved was standard. There was no crime here. In fact, I just watched a couple of the reports. You watched Jonathan Turley, Andy McCarthy, Greg Jarrett. You look at all of these people, Mark Levin, all very talented people, great people. Many more.
Many more.
And they don't know me, essentially. They don't know me. They're legal scholars and experts.
But I looked at them. I watched Turley this morning saying, there's no crime here.
Everybody says there's no crime here except for this DA that's got the city out of control with crime. It's out of. It's absolutely out of control. So we have an NDA that was signed.
We have legal expenses. And here's the thing. On legal expenses, you have 100 where they say they do a charge. I just recorded this out, falsification of business records in the first degree. It sounds so bad. I said, wow.
And even my own lawyers, I get very upset with them because they don't say what it is.
They say, well, falsification of legal records is only a felony. Well, that's a lot. Is only a, they say a misdemeanor, but they try and bring it up to a felony. If there's two crimes. They have all these different things. The other thing is they missed the statute of limitations by a lot because this was very old. They could have brought this seven years ago instead of bringing it right in the middle of the election.
So they missed the statute of limitations. They did everything. Now let me give you the good news. The good news is last night, we just got a report this morning in the history of politics, I believe maybe I'm wrong. Somebody will find that I'm wrong. Maybe. But I don't think so.
They raised with small money donors, meaning like $21, $42, $53, $38, a record, $39 million in about a ten hour period.
No, think of that.
I like those people because so far, I guess it's backfired. Now, I don't know. I'd rather not have it happen. I don't want to have it backfiring. I don't want to win this thing legitimately. Not because they were stupid and did things that they shouldn't be doing. They shouldn't have brought this case.
They were saying it this morning. This is a case that should not have been brought.
I watched Andy McCarthy say this is a case that should not have been brought.
And that was this morning.
But they all say that. Every legal scholar has said it. Every legal, and these are great people. They really understand the law.
The other thing, a poll just came out, the first poll, I don't know, maybe others will be bad.
But a poll just came out a little while ago, the Daily Mail, does anybody read the Daily Mail? It's very good. They have a good poll. At least I like it today.
And the Daily Mail just came out with a poll and it has trump up six points in the last 12 hours. Six points. Six points since this happened. Who thought this could happen?
Because the people of our country know it's a hoax. They know it's a hoax. They get it. You know, they're really smart and it's really something. So we're going to be appealing this scam.
We're going to be appealing it on many different things. He wouldn't allow us to have witnesses. He wouldn't allow us to talk. He wouldn't allow us to do anything. The judge was a tyrant.
And you got to see that with Bob Costello, a fine man.
I've never seen anything like it, and neither has anybody that was in that courthouse where he demanded that the courthouse be cleared. Now, the good news is most of the people in the courthouse were the media.
And anybody that was in the media of your fair, you'll say, wow, that was anger. That was crazed. He was crazed.
And the reason that Bob Costello acted a little bit upset, which I think he has a right to, was that every question he was being asked was being objected to by the other side and sustained by the judge. Sustained, sustained, sustained. I think he did it many times. I don't know what the number. Many times even I was sitting there saying, and these were basic questions.
And he, I never saw anybody treated that way by a judge. And I've been treated very badly by two other judges also, because it's all the same thing, and it all comes out of the White House. Crooked Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of our country.
Glenn Beck
Just so you know, we are blowing off all of the commercial breaks so we can continue to carry his message.
Donald Trump
Crooked Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of our country. He's the worst president in the history of our country. The most incompetent.
He's the dumbest president we've ever had.
He's the dumbest president, most incompetent president, and he's the most dishonest president we've ever had. And so many of the. He's a manchurian candidate. You take a look at the way he treats China, Russia, so many others. You know, I ended the russian pipeline. It was dead. He comes in and he approves it, and he gets 3.5 million, meaning three and a half million is paid to the family, his family from the mayor of Moscow's wife.
And I said, where did that come from? Nobody wants to talk about it, but he's a very big danger to our country.
And the only way they think they can win this election is by doing exactly what they're doing right now, win it in the courts, because they can't win it at the ballot box.
So we're going to show them that, oh, we're going to fight. It's actually, I don't know, it's something where I'm wired in such a way that a lot of people would have gone away a long time ago, they would have gone away after Peach Ben. Hoax number one. That was a total hoax.
I had great support from the Republican Party, though. Then you had impeachment hoax number two.
And then they formed the committee. How about they formed the committee of thugs, the j six committee of thugs, and they took their records and they destroyed all of the records after the committee was abandoned because those records were great for us.
Now, can you imagine if Republicans did that? Everybody would have been in jail by now.
Think of it. The unselect. I call it the unselect. They call it select committee. I call it the unselect committee of thugs. They meet, it's 100% Democrat and two past Republicans that are no longer Republicans, that are no longer in business anymore. Thank you.
But it was all Democrats and two wayward Republicans, Liz Cheney and Kryon Adam Kinzinger. He cries every time he goes on television. He's the most emotional human being I think I've ever seen.
And that was our representatives. These two people were our Rep.
So they had all this stuff that they're leaking.
And then when it came time to look at the records, like where the police said, and the Capitol guard said that I supplied, think of it, that I recommended as many soldiers or National Guard as you want, 10,000.
If you had 500, you wouldn't have had a problem. There wouldn't have been a j six. But Nancy Pelosi and the group didn't want it anyway. So they have testimony to all of that, that I did not attack the Secret Service agent in the front of a car. You know, these are strong people.
And I supposedly went to the driver and I grabbed him around the neck and he rebuffed me. And then I went to the other guy, who I think is a black belt in karate, and he's slightly younger than me, maybe 35 years, 40 years, 50 years.
And I grabbed him around the neck and said, he's a black belt in karate. They know how to get somebody from around their neck.
They would have gone like this, and that would be the end of that.
Actually, I had a friend that said, you shouldn't dispute that. That makes you look like the toughest cookie we've ever seen. You should have let that go on. But the fact is, it never happened. It was all made up.
And that was proven to be made up. It proved to be a false story. And they deleted and destroyed all of that information, every ounce of it.
We're dealing with a corrupt government. We have a corrupt country. Our elections are corrupt, our borders are open, our borders are going to be closed very soon.
November 5 is going to be the most important day in the history of our country.
Now when I say that because my people are always saying, do this, do this because we're fighting for America. Donaldjtrump.com dot I hope everybody watching right now. Donald J trump.com because it really makes a difference.
They have a lot of money on the other side. I don't know where they get it. Nobody knows where they get it. But for some reason, they get money.
But they're not on the side of our country.
In many ways, I think they hate our country.
Who on earth can want open borders where people are allowed to pour in from countries unknown, from places unknown, from languages that we don't even, that we haven't even heard of? We have people sitting in schools with languages where very few people have ever even heard of these languages.
It's not like Spanish or French or Russian.
Language is unknown.
We have people coming from corners of the globe, and many of them are not good people.
Many terrorists, record levels of terrorism. Record levels of terrorists have come into our country. Record. They've never seen anything like it. You know, there was a report that in 2019, I don't believe this, by the way. The media gave it and it was good for me. Believe it or not, they said in 2019 there were no terrorists recorded that came into our country. I don't believe that. I don't think that's possible. But they actually, 2019 was a Trump year.
I don't believe that that could be possible. But they said no terrorists came into our country. So let's say it was close.
Let's say it was close.
But now record levels of terrorists. Record levels. The highest level we've ever seen of terrorists are pouring into our country.
You have China with just in the last few months, 29,000 people came in. And I looked at them on a line and they look like perfect soldiers. They're almost all male, from 19 to 25. It looks like a recruiting exercise. They have beautiful tents, they have propane stoves.
They have cell phones, the best you can buy. I said, what's going on? It looks like they're building an army right in our country.
Now, I don't think that would happen. Right?
We're losing our country.
And I really think that this is an event what took place yesterday with this judge. Look, we have conflicted, but he's a crooked judge, and you'll understand that. And I say that knowing that it's very dangerous for me to say that. And I don't mind because I'm willing to do whatever I have to do to save our country and to save our constitution. I don't mind.
So.
So thank you.
So we will continue the fight.
We're going to make America great again. Very simple.
When people fight Maga, they say, we're going to fight. I watch Biden. We're going to fight Maga. We're going to stop Maga. It's make America great again.
That's all it is, Maga. Make America great again. Our country is in serious trouble.
We owe $36 trillion.
We were going to be, we were energy independent for the first time ever, and now we're begging Venezuela for oil. One statistic you have to hear, Venezuela was crime ridden. Caracas, their cities crime ridden.
Two years ago, three years ago, they just reported a 72% drop in crime in the last year because all of their criminals, most of them and the rest are coming in now.
The ones that didn't come in in Venezuela, their prisons have been emptied into the United States. Their criminals and drug dealers have been taken out of the cities and brought into the United States. And that's true with many other countries.
The Congo has just released a lot of people from jail. Congo, Africa just released a lot of people, a lot of people from their prisons and jails and brought them into the United States of America.
This is what's happening to our country, and it's not sustainable by anyone.
Little things like our kids can't have a little League game anymore because you have tents and you have migrants living on the fields.
That's the least of it.
People are taking over our luxury hotels. Migrants, and yet our veterans, our great veterans are living on the streets like dogs. They're living on the streets, but migrants are living in luxury hotels in cities all over our country run by democrats. So it's my honor to be doing this. It really is. It's a very unpleasant thing, to be honest.
But it's a great, great honor. We're going to, we're going to do what I have to do. I'm going to do it. And the support has been, that's why I mentioned the number of $39 million. That's why I mentioned we're up six points.
And we went up a lot over the last month because everybody saw it was a rigged deal, it was a rigged trial.
But we're going to make America great again. We're going to make it better than ever before. November 5. Remember, November 5 is the most important day in the history of our country. Thank you very much, everybody.
President Trump.
Glenn Beck
Well, let's, as he walks away in the Trump Tower, I think there was one miss, and that was right at the beginning. He should have walked down with Melania down the escalator exactly the same way he did in 2016.
I noticed that that speech ran about 34 minutes, and within the first ten, the mainstream media had already broken away, except for Fox.
He was telling a story and doing what Trump does best, just goes out and just wings it.
I wish he would have been a little more focused towards the beginning when everybody was watching, but it was a real embarrassment for our country, the things that he was saying. And I took pages and pages of notes here of it. And we're not going to have time to go over it all, but we're going to move the three of us, into the tv studio after this. And we'll record a special Friday episode of Glenn Beck TV. And you'll be able to download that as soon as we're done with it. Steve days coming up next. So we can't do it live.
What were your impressions?

I loved the way that he did come out and say, you know, they were coming after me, and he called them a group of fascists. And he was, he was using very strong language at the beginning, but then it felt like he hasn't been on the campaign trail for so long and he wanted to get back out there, that it felt like everything was just spewing out of his mouth things that he wished that he could have been saying instead of talking about the trial for the last month, we got all of it in one speech. But this wasn't necessarily the time for that. This was, I am a political prisoner.
Glenn Beck
I thought the first few minutes, maybe the first five, were very effective because he said things that were powerful, like fascist.
I can't talk about this because of a gag order.
You know, what's happening in the country between our finances, our economy, and the border.
I thought those were all really, really strong.
Jason Buttrill
He said, this is bigger than my presidency, which is really strong. That was really strong.
Glenn Beck
Several times he said, it is my honor. It's not pleasant, but it is my honor to do this because somebody has to.
Jason Buttrill
Somebody has to.
Democrats and Bragg released the Kraken. Absolutely did. I saw a couple of Twitter posts, I think one from the Trump campaign, that it took screenshots of every single network and, uh, that was covering this. And they said wall to wall. ABC, MSNBC, CNN, CNBC, everyone had, this was at least the first ten minutes of this. Everyone.
And it's been complete blackout on him for what, years now since he left office. A complete blackout. Now they, they're forced to cover it. They're forced to allow the american people to listen to what they did to him. It's a big screw up, in my opinion.
Glenn Beck
It's, you know, the one thing that would have made this much more fair is if they would have covered the trial. I, that one thing I would like to, to see if it could ever be done is to release the video footage that we know was taken in the courtroom. They were, they were watching it, that, some of the press watching it in the hallways, but we weren't allowed to see it. What, what could be more important to the american people? And, and that is why they didn't do it, because they, they know if Americans actually pay attention to this and go, well, is anything that he's saying, is that true? And they go and they actually look for the information themselves. They'll be horrified and they will understand how, how much trouble the republic is in. We're running out of time.
Jill Savage
It goes back to your point of storytelling and why that is so important.
Glenn Beck
Correct.
Jill Savage
If you were able to sit there and watch it for yourself, you have a completely different view of what this trial would have been. But they have the ability to manipulate it and spin it in a way before they present it to you. And that is a completely different viewing experience. You know, when you're, when you're watching somebody with a biased agenda giving you the facts, quote, unquote, facts of the case, you're not going to say, okay, this is, this is exactly from the mouth of the judge, from the mouth of the witnesses, from the mouth of Donald Trump, it's, it's completely different.
Glenn Beck
You know, and I found it interesting that because he just speaks and you can show that. You can see that there was so much for him to say.
You know, I had an experience with George Bush towards the end of his presidency, and, you know, we were, we were just, he was underwater and, you know, he was like, and another thing, shoes. And you were like, what? Every time he would talk, he was just all over the board. And he said to me, because he was talking in the Oval Office privately, and there were a few of us in there, and I was sitting right next to his chair on the couch. And, man, he was strong and told me what was going on in the ground and everything else. And I said, no offense, mister president, but this is what the american people need to hear, what you just said.
And he gave a couple of caveats that aren't worth getting into now. But the one thing he said was everything a president says is watched and monitored by intel all over the world. And they interpret my shift of my eyes, the shift of my weight when I say it. He said, there are so many things that I can't say that I'm calculating all the time.
Donald Trump never seems to calculate, however, you could see the subtle calculation there. He, when he was talking about, when he was talking about, you know, that very great guy that, that was just raked over the coals and yada, yada, yada, that was Bob Costello. He said it later, but I think that is, again, him. Where is the line on what will get me in trouble? Bob Costello? When they cleared the courtroom, I talked to Alan Dershowitz the very next day. He was sitting in the front row, and he was allowed to see what nobody else saw. They cleared the courtroom and he berated him because when the judge made a ruling, that was an unusual ruling, uh, in fact, uh, Alan Dershowitz said one of the only. I've never heard a ruling like that. It just, it made no sense.
He said, bob looked up at the judge and raised his eyebrows, like, really?
And then he cleared the courtroom and berated him. You will, you will not do that. I think even might have threatened him with jail if he rails. It raises his eyebrows again.
This guy is unhinged.
Just unhinged. And, you know, Donald Trump is going to continue to tell the story as much as he can, but the american people should have seen it themselves.
The other things that I think were important that he said, he continued to come back to the border. He continued to talk about the terrorists that are in. He said something I've never heard him say before, you know, 2019, and this was good for me, but they said in 2019, no terrorist entered the country. But I don't believe that to be true. I've never heard him take a compliment and say, I don't believe that.
But I agree with him. I don't either. But now we're at the highest level.
He also talked about our debt, our dependence on oil. He called, he not only called Biden stupid and worse, the worst president we've ever had, he referred to the president and those who are in the administration as fascists, which I thought was really strong language and appropriate, but shocking to hear.
Jason Buttrill
It'll be shocking for many people on the left. I don't even know the definition of that word, that had been throwing it around willy nilly to hear that about themselves. Yeah, I hope there's a little bit of self reflection.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, there won't be.
Jason Buttrill
There won't be.
Glenn Beck
But the definition of a fascist is an authoritarian state that partners with corporations and the media to control.
And that's exactly what we're doing. It's exactly what Biden is doing. He is technically 100% accurate on his labeling of this administration fascistic.

You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck. Sit tight, boys and girls. We'll be right back after these messages.
The beginning of the show today, I asked you if this was a beginning or the end of the United States of America.
It will.
It will be the end of the United States of America if we, if we say we're losing, we're out.
We need to resolve in our own hearts and mind. We're not going to let it slip by and slip into the darkness on our watch.
We have the power to shape our own destiny.
All it takes is saying, we're not finished. We will not concede defeat. We will press on.
We know that victory is within our grasp. I think we are much closer to victory than we know.
It's, you know, the outcome is is never handed to us. It's a choice we make.
And the choice I make, and the choice I ask you to make with me is rise up. Educate yourself. Fight the good, fight the righteous. Fight the right way. Never become them. And never, ever, ever give up the Glenn Beck program.
