The Glenn Beck Program

GLENN: I want to give you the story that we were talking about in the first half hour. I want to read the actual story. The only one that really covered it and did a good job on it is Mediaite. Mediaite I'm torn on and I think that's what you should be on all media. You should be torn. You should think that some of the stories they get right and some of the stories they don't get right. When they're writing about you, you’re sometimes like, yeah, finally somebody has gotten it right and other times you're like, no, that's not the story. And to me it shows that they tried to get the story right.

Here is an honest piece of reporting that I think, you know, anybody with an integrity an ounce of integrity would have reported on this story. Here's what they wrote. Let's end the week with some Shirley Sherroding, editing of a clip to make it sound like someone is saying something that is exactly the complete opposite of what they are saying. In this case the offender is Media Matters when they try to prove that Glenn Beck's radio cohosts were saying Keith Olberman was responsible for the deadly Manchester workplace shooting. Here was Media Matters' headline. Quote, Beck's sidekicks Gray and Burguiere, Keith Olberman and Media responsible for Manchester shooting, end quote. That was the headline. The side kicks are Pat Gray and Steve Burguiere who cohosted without Beck today. And why did Media Matters write this? Well, that is because what Beck and Burguiere said at first. Quote, Gray, obviously Keith Olberman is responsible for those eight people dead. Burguiere, quote, a guy like that who's a little unstable, anyway, can't help but react to the constant pressure of Keith Olberman on the air and on MSNBC and all of MSNBC talking about the racism that is out there, end quote, but the problem is the cohosts were being sarcastic to make a point. One minute later they got serious and Stu says, quote, Keith Olberman was not responsible for any shooting, but that part is conveniently out of the Media Matters' audio because Media Matters cut the audio right before they started to make it clear. Right after the Media Matters' edit, Burguiere says, quote, Obviously we're making a point here. Let's move to the case against the Tea Party members. They're constantly convinced that the government is after them. They're going to come after their guns. Well, who is always talking about that? Glenn Beck. So, therefore, he's responsible for every time anyone does anything violent. Later Gray says, just like you can't blame Keith Olberman for this dumb racist thing and Burguiere reiterates, Keith Olberman ills not responsible for any shooting. Keith Olberman is not. It's not possible for him to sit there and inspire that by talking about a topic.

Update, at the end of the story: Media has updated their post. Here's their correction. Correction: The original headline on this clip did not make clear let me give you the headline again. The headline is: Beck's sidekicks Gray and Burguiere Keith Olberman and Media responsible for Manchester shooting. The original headline on this clip did not make it clear that Beck's cohosts were being satirical when they linked Keith Olberman to the Manchester shooting.

PAT: They're right about that. Didn't make that clear.

STU: Not clear at all.

PAT: No.

GLENN: Their subsequent statements that Olberman was not responsible for the shooting, Media Matters regrets the error.

STU: Error.

GLENN: In other words, says Mediaite, in other words, the exact opposite of Media Matters' post. Now, there's no error there. Media Matters made no error. Be very clear. This is the kind of things are you recording this, media matter? You can go ahead and well, if I say this, though, if I say that you are nothing but a smear machine funded by Soros, what you'll print is: Glenn Beck hates us. Please donate to the DNC.

The Media Matters does nothing but smear. This is a political organization only and all they do is provide disinformation, period. They're trying to smear and discredit anyone who stands against the Soros selected machine.

PAT: And in this case, I mean, have they not discredited themselves to the point now where

GLENN: For anybody

PAT: for anything they say.

GLENN: Anybody who plays attention, but they're not playing for anybody who pays attention. They're not playing to those people. They are playing to those who are who rely on Twitter feeds, because all that was

STU: True.

PAT: Right. Exactly. And if you go back they probably pulled it down at this point, but if you go back ad look at the comment, the original way they posted it, they were going, I can't believe these people. How can it be obvious that Olberman is responsible? The real people who are responsible are the right wring didn't question it for a second.

GLENN: Do me a favor. Do me a favor. Make sure you get all of those comments and you go back in because nothing is gone forever. You go in and get all of those comments so the next time there's any kind of violence, we have those comments that all we have to do is change the names

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: These guys are ridiculous and I'm glad that I've distanced myself from Joe Kerry who fired and I want you to know, too, that today, because I'm using this as a teachable moment, not only can America see how stupid America was and how brilliant I was, in this moment I have also created or saved four jobs.

PAT: Four?

GLENN: Four jobs

STU: Pat and I, right?

GLENN: I saved your job, but when I fired you when Joe fired you

PAT: Yes, uh huh

GLENN: okay? I wasn't going to replace you. So, I stopped I closed those jobs?

STU: Okay.

GLENN: So, when I when I found out that you had been wronged, you two princes of men, really, I came in and I said, no. We are going to create those positions. So, I have saved two jobs and created two jobs.

PAT: That's four altogether

STU: But it's just Pat and I.

GLENN: I have saved please.

PAT: Do you want to talk to Joe again?

GLENN: I have saved or created four jobs

STU: Wow. So, this is a triumph for you.

Will this SAVE America’s children? SCOTUS upholds trans ban in red states

You never know what you’re going to get with the U.S. Supreme Court these days.

For all of the Left’s insane panic over having six supposedly conservative justices on the court, the decisions have been much more of a mixed bag. But thank God – sincerely – there was a seismic win for common sense at the Supreme Court on Wednesday. It’s a win for American children, parents, and for truth itself.

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court upheld Tennessee’s state ban on irreversible transgender procedures for minors.

The mostly conservative justices stood tall in this case, while Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson predictably dissented. This isn’t just Tennessee’s victory – 20 other red states that have similar bans can now breathe easier, knowing they can protect vulnerable children from these sick, experimental, life-altering procedures.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, saying Tennessee’s law does not violate the Equal Protection Clause. It’s rooted in a very simple truth that common sense Americans get: kids cannot consent to permanent damage. The science backs this up – Norway, Finland, and the UK have all sounded alarms about the lack of evidence for so-called “gender-affirming care.” The Trump administration’s recent HHS report shredded the activist claims that these treatments help kids’ mental health. Nothing about this is “healthcare.” It is absolute harm.

The Left, the ACLU, and the Biden DOJ screamed “discrimination” and tried to twist the Constitution to force this radical ideology on our kids.

Fortunately, the Supreme Court saw through it this time. In her concurring opinion, Justice Amy Coney Barrett nailed it: gender identity is not some fixed, immutable trait like race or sex. Detransitioners are speaking out, regretting the surgeries and hormones they were rushed into as teens. WPATH – the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, the supposed experts on this, knew that kids cannot fully grasp this decision, and their own leaked documents prove that they knew it. But they pushed operations and treatments on kids anyway.

This decision is about protecting the innocent from a dangerous ideology that denies biology and reality. Tennessee’s Attorney General calls this a “landmark victory in defense of America’s children.” He’s right. This time at least, the Supreme Court refused to let judicial activism steal our kids’ futures. Now every state needs to follow Tennessee’s lead on this, and maybe the tide will continue to turn.

EXPOSED: Your tax dollars FUND Marxist riots in LA

Anadolu / Contributor | Getty Images

Protesters wore Che shirts, waved foreign flags, and chanted Marxist slogans — but corporate media still peddles the ‘spontaneous outrage’ narrative.

I sat in front of the television this weekend, watching the glittering spectacle of corporate media do what it does best: tell me not to believe my lying eyes.

According to the polished news anchors, what I was witnessing in Los Angeles was “mostly peaceful protests.” They said it with all the earnest gravitas of someone reading a bedtime story, while behind them the streets looked like a deleted scene from “Mad Max.” Federal agents dodged concrete slabs as if it were an Olympic sport. A man in a Che Guevara crop top tried to set a police car on fire. Dumpster fires lit the night sky like some sort of postapocalyptic luau.

If you suggest that violent criminals should be deported or imprisoned, you’re painted as the extremist.

But sure, it was peaceful. Tear gas clouds and Molotov cocktails are apparently the incense and candles of this new civic religion.

The media expects us to play along — to nod solemnly while cities burn and to call it “activism.”

Let’s call this what it is: delusion.

Another ‘peaceful’ riot

If the Titanic “mostly floated” and the Hindenburg “mostly flew,” then yes, the latest L.A. riots are “mostly peaceful.” But history tends to care about those tiny details at the end — like icebergs and explosions.

The coverage was full of phrases like “spontaneous,” “grassroots,” and “organic,” as if these protests materialized from thin air. But many of the signs and banners looked like they’d been run off at ComradesKinkos.com — crisp print jobs with slogans promoting socialism, communism, and various anti-American regimes. Palestinian flags waved beside banners from Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba, and El Salvador. It was like someone looted a United Nations souvenir shop and turned it into a revolution starter pack.

And guess who funded it? You did.

According to at least one report, much of this so-called spontaneous rage fest was paid for with your tax dollars. Tens of millions of dollars from the Biden administration ensured your paycheck funded Trotsky cosplayers chucking firebombs at local coffee shops.

The same aging radicals from the 1970s — now armed with tenure, pensions, and book deals — are cheering from the sidelines, waxing poetic about how burning a squad car is “liberation.” These are the same folks who once wore tie-dye and flew to help guerrilla fighters and now applaud chaos under the banner of “progress.”

This is not progress. It is not protest. It’s certainly not justice or peace.

It’s an attempt to dismantle the American system — and if you dare say that out loud, you’re labeled a bigot, a fascist, or, worst of all, someone who notices reality.

And what sparked this taxpayer-funded riot? Enforcement against illegal immigrants — many of whom, according to official arrest records, are repeat violent offenders. These are not the “dreamers” or the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. These are criminals with long, violent rap sheets — allowed to remain free by a broken system that prioritizes ideology over public safety.

This is what people are rioting over — not the mistreatment of the innocent, but the arrest of the guilty. And in California, that’s apparently a cause for outrage.

The average American, according to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, is supposed to worry they’ll be next. But unless you’re in the habit of assaulting people, smuggling, or firing guns into people’s homes, you probably don’t have much to fear.

Still, if you suggest that violent criminals should be deported or imprisoned, you’re painted as the extremist.

The left has lost it

This is what happens when a culture loses its grip on reality. We begin to call arson “art,” lawlessness “liberation,” and criminals “community members.” We burn the good and excuse the evil — all while the media insists it’s just “vibes.”

But it’s not just vibes. It’s violence, paid for by you, endorsed by your elected officials, and whitewashed by newsrooms with more concern for hair and lighting than for truth.

This isn’t activism. This is anarchism. And Democratic politicians are fueling the flame.

Glenn Beck's 'No King but Christ' merch: Will faith STOP the chaos?

On Saturday, June 14, 2025 (President Trump's 79th birthday), the "No Kings" protest—a noisy spectacle orchestrated by progressive heavyweights like Randi Weingarten and her union cronies—will take place in Washington, D.C.

Thousands will chant "no thrones, no crowns, no king," claiming to fend off authoritarianism and corruption.

But let’s cut through the noise. The protesters' grievances—rigged courts, deported citizens, slashed services—are a house of cards. Zero Americans have been deported, Federal services are still bloated, and if anyone is rigging the courts, it's the Left. So why rally now, especially with riots already flaring in L.A.?

Chaos isn’t a side effect here—it’s the plan.

This is not about liberty; it's a power grab dressed up as resistance. The "No Kings" crowd wants you to buy their script: government’s the enemy—unless they’re the ones running it. It's the identical script from 2020: same groups, same tactics, same goal, different name.

But Glenn is flipping the script. He's dropping a new "No Kings but Christ" merch line, just in time for the protest. Merch that proclaims one truth: no earthly ruler owns us; only Christ does. It’s a bold, faith-rooted rejection of this secular circus.

Why should you care? Because this won’t just be a rally—it’ll be a symptom. Distrust in institutions is sky-high, and rightly so, but the "No Kings" answer is a hollow shout into the void. Glenn’s merch begs the question: if you’re ditching kings, who’s really in charge? Get yours and wear the answer proudly.
