UPDATE: How much money was raised for Operation Underground Railroad in a single day?

After his emotional plea to the audience yesterday, Glenn opened the radio program this morning with a wonderful update on Operation Underground Railroad. In case you missed yesterday’s radio program, Glenn explained that there are nearly 2 million children worldwide currently trapped in sex slavery, and Operation Underground Railroad is a group of former CIA, FBI, Navy SEALs, and Green Berets who travel the globe liberating enslaved children and dismantle the criminal networks.

“I want to read a letter to me that I just received that I think is actually to you,” Glenn said. “This, in case you were listening yesterday, is from Operation Underground Railroad. This is an idea of a friend of mine who came to me and asked me to support them and to help finance them. And I think there is no better cause than saving children from the horrors of child sex slavery. And when you look into it, you won't believe how bad and how huge it is.”

Glenn read a portion of a letter from his friend:

Glenn,

Your listeners have done it. We made over $300,000 yesterday because you talked on the air and your listeners reacted. Because of the money that your listeners sent, we have already deployed two jump teams to rescue victims. That's how fast things can happen. I was ecstatic last night when I was able to call the father of a traffic child who is a U.S. citizen kidnapped and taken to Haiti. He is only 7 years old.

Last night, I called the father of this 7-year-old boy and told him, "We are on our way." He broke down and sobbed. Our first operation in that case has already happened. A second team was deployed to another country now in Central America to rescue children from an identified child brothel there. The target is an American citizen who has lived there for over a decade and produces child rape videos with children as young as 3-years-old. The jump team is wheels down in this country as I write this, and I am already working directly with the foreign officials. This guy's days are numbered. We will report on successes as soon as possible.

Please thank your audience. I am so proud to be counted among them. I am proud to have the report of great Americans who knows what it means to be a great American. It means we liberate the captives. That's what real Americans have always done from the beginning. I have attached a photo from the child that we are going after and also a message from his tearful and thankful father. I have met him a few times now and he is the salt of the Earth. His child was kidnapped from Sunday school during a church service. We have located the captors and we are working with the officials in the country to find the boy. They are waiting for a team to arrive as I write this. We will find him.

Glenn’s friend also included a message from the 7-year-old boy’s father:

Glenn and audience,

Thank you. Before you go to sleep at night, do you have to check on each of your sweet children? Do you have to know that they are safe and sound before you close your eyes? I do. It is why I have not slept since my son was taken. I walk the streets each night, I walk aimlessly through different neighborhoods each night trying to hear his cries. I come home and sit on my porch until I nod off for a few minutes. Then when the sun comes up, I go to work in my orphanage. I can’t sleep in my bed so long as my boy is not in his. I can’t explain the pain.

Months ago I saw some light when I was introduced to Operation Underground Railroad. They came to my home, they met with me, and they began to investigate… And now… They’re coming back, because you and your listeners sent them. Thank you. God bless you and your audience. May God bless you forever. We will find him. I know he is still alive.

- Gus

“This is one of the most remarkable and good things I think I have ever seen. Boy, I can't imagine how frustrating it would be, and I can't manual how satisfying it would be to dedicate your time, full time, to something like Operation Underground Railroad,” Glenn said. “Thank you. If you didn't get a chance to donate, you can now by going to OperationUndergroundRailroad.org and donate tax deductible. This is just a friend of mine. I am not involved in this charity. I have nothing to do with it other than I believe in the man who is running it, and I believe in the cause… We will bring you updates as time goes on.”

This week on "The Glenn Beck Podcast," civil rights activist and Woodson Center founder Bob Woodson joined Glenn to call out the leftists in the "race grievance industry," like the Rev. Al Sharpton and Black Lives Matter, Inc., who, he says, are "profiting off the misery of their people."

Woodson lived through the appalling segregation laws of the last century and has a much different message about what it means to be "oppressed" than the so-called "anti-racist" activists today.

Woodson said he believes the real struggle for impoverished minority communities "is not racial." He argued that leftists "at the top" derive "moral authority" by claiming to represent "so called marginalized groups," while they prosper at the expense of those "at the bottom."

"There's nothing worse than self-flagellating guilty white people and rich, angry black people who profit off the misery of their people," Woodson said.

"I call what Sharpton and some of those are doing is worse than bigotry. It's treason. It's moral treason against their own people," he added. "The only time you hear from them is when a white police officer kills a black person, which happens maybe 20 or 21 times a year, but 6,000 blacks are killed each year by other blacks. So, in other words, their message is black lives only matter when taken by someone white, which means you are betraying the black community when you turn your back on 20 children that are slaughtered and you don't march in that community and demand that those killers be turned over to the police."

'The problem is not racial," Woodson asserted. "The problem is the challenge of upward mobility. Any time you generalize about a group of people, blacks, whites, Native American, and then you try to apply remedies, it always benefits those at the top at the expense of those at the bottom. ... It's a bait and switch game where you're using the demographics of the worst of these, to get resources that helps the best of these, or those who are prospering at the top. So, if I was the president, I would say an end to the race grievance business, that America should concentrate on the moral and spiritual free fall that is consuming people at the bottom."

Following President Joe Biden's first joint address to Congress, Glenn Beck joined fellow BlazeTV host and author of the new book, "American Marxism," Mark Levin to expose what they called the "Liar-In-Chief's" radical plans for our country and to explain why the far Left's proposals and programs are really a "frontal attack" on our Constitution, our country, and our way of life.

"Substantively, this is a frontal attack on our Constitutional system of limited government. It is a frontal attack on our capitalist system. He's basically throwing out all the bromides for the radical left groups that now form the base of the modern Democrat Party. And I make the case that ... this is Marxist bullcrap in its broadest sense," Levin stated.

"Here we are, a country now where one man can get up in the middle of the night and make a list of everything he wants to do to the country," he added, speaking figuratively. "It's like an unreality where we're living in separate worlds ... the whole thing is a fraud."

Watch the video clip below to hear Levin expose the lies and misinformation in Biden's speech and explain why he believes the true message is absolutely chilling for the future of our nation:

After months of delays and COVID-19 excuses, President Biden finally delivers his address to the joint session of Congress. It is a truly historic moment, as only a few hundred members of Congress received an invite. While some have compared this speech to JFK's moon landing challenge, it will likely be more like FDR's New Deal nightmare. Will Speaker Pelosi continue her tradition of ripping up the president's speech? Will VP Harris cackle to a quiet audience?

Glenn Beck teams up with fellow BlazeTV host Mark Levin, author of the new book "American Marxism," to take on the progressive plans that could completely transform our economy and our way of life. Steve Deace, BlazeTV host and author of "Faucian Bargain," joins to discuss why it's not enough for conservatives to just lament the dangerous Democrat agenda; we must activate against the woke infection of our institutions. Plus, a power panel to rival CNN talking heads: Stu Burguiere, BlazeTV host of "Stu Does America," and Jason Buttrill, head researcher and writer for Glenn Beck.

The less-than-favorable reaction to Caitlyn Jenner's bid for governor of California as a Republican has shown that leftists and so-called "transgender rights activist" care more about political party than actual transgender rights. Despite the fact that if she wins, Jenner would be the first trans governor in our nation's history — and prove that Republicans aren't 'transphobic' — Leftist activists would rather back Gavin Newsom — a cisgender, white male.

"Make no mistake: we can't wait to elect a #trans governor of California. But @Caitlyn_Jenner spent years telling the #LGBTQ+ community to trust Donald Trump. We saw how that turned out. Now she wants us to trust her? Hard pass," tweeted Equality California, one of the state's largest LGBTQ-rights groups.

"With all due respect, @Caitlyn_Jenner, you are running as a Republican?! Republicans deny your existence and are trying to erase trans youth. HELL NO," tweeted leftist activist and actress Alyssa Milano.

"Well done Caitlyn Jenner, running for governor wins you the one medal you never got: stupidest mother***ker on earth. Running as a Trump Republican & entering a world that hates you," tweeted "Sons of Anarchy" star Ron Perlman.

In this clip from the "Glenn Beck Radio Program," Glenn and producer Stu Burguiere discussed the Left's hostile reaction to Jenner's candidacy for California governor and agreed that leftist trans activists are showing themselves to be more "leftists" than "trans activists."

"If Caitlyn Jenner did, let's say, run for governor and win as a Republican, wouldn't that go a long way to advance what [trans rights activists'] goal supposedly is? Like, if you really believe Republicans hate trans people and what you want is for society to have trans people accepted more broadly, what better way to accomplish that than having a Republican trans candidate?" Stu asked.

"Yeah, see, but you just said the key words: 'If you really believe.' They don't really believe anything. I don't think they even really believe that Republicans hate gay people. I don't think they actually believe that. That's just a slogan that's been drilled in their head," Glenn said. "It doesn't have anything to do with race or gender, or really anything else. It has everything to do with politics. That's it."
