Meet Ellen Wheeler - Glenn's new hire to help tell stories inspiring people to change the world

October 13, 2015
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program

Today the staff met someone I have just hired to run content for everything I do. She will work by my side, helping me tell the stories that count, and trying to inspire people to take action, take a stand and change the world.

Her name is Ellen Wheeler. She was a soap opera star on The Bold and the Beautiful and then All My Children not long ago but wasn't fooled by the fame. She left acting to go into producing.

She became the executive producer of Guiding Light and changed the way everything was done. In fact, she was responsible for the first podcast at CBS. She realized that the story wasn't enough - if you really want to be a "guiding light" you should serve.

So, for the show's 75th anniversary, she decided to get the cast to go serve the community. For a year they went out and did massive service projects. I remember these at the time. It was huge. Changed the cast and the viewers. People were helped and hearts were changed.

She decided to leave TV because she saw what was happening and knew TV was not going to really change the world. She became an activist with FreedomWorks and ran all of their big events.

This summer, I was backstage at a FreedomWorks event in Vegas when I told her my plans for Restoring Unity. She wisely and bravely said to me: "Is this going to be like some of the other things you've done - you start it and then never really put the resources behind it to really have it thrive and change lives?"

Wow. Do you know how rare it is to have someone really tell me the hard truth? I smiled and said, "why don't you work for me?"

We have spent the summer and early fall together, trying to figure out if we really see the world the same way. We do! Big time.

I finally have a partner that can take all the things we are working on and tie them together with action. I am so proud of my team and all we have created. But now, it's time to turn the machine on and really do everything we have wanted to do. Get involved and roll up our sleeves and fight on the front lines.

Welcome to Ellen. We are all excited to see what you can do to make us into the team we have all have known we could be. Together, we are all clear: Our goal is to change the world!

This video is of her addressing my team in Dallas after being introduced by me. I hope you can hear and see what I saw in her. We are about to do all the things I have dreamt about doing for the last five years.

Alan Dershowitz: 'It's clearly UNCONSTITUTIONAL' to impeach Trump after leaving office

As the Senate prepares for former President Trump's second impeachment trial, many are asking whether it's constitutional to try a president after leaving office. Alan Dershowitz, lawyer and host of the of "The Dershow," joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to talk about the legal battles Trump still faces.

Dershowitz said he believes the Senate doesn't have the authority to convict Trump, now that he's a private citizen again, and thus can't use impeachment to bar him from running for office again.

"The Constitution says the purpose of impeachment is to remove somebody. He [Trump] is out of office. There's nothing left to do.
It doesn't say you can impeach him to disqualify him for the future. It says, if you remove him you can then add disqualification, but you can't just impeach somebody to disqualify them," Dershowitz said.

"The Senate can't try ordinary citizens. So once you're an ordinary citizen, you get tried only in the courts, not in the Senate. So it's clearly unconstitutional," he added.

Dershowitz, who served on Trump's legal team during the first impeachment trial, also discussed whether he thinks Trump is legally (or even just ethically) responsible for the Capitol riot earlier this month, and whether those engaging in violence could be considered "domestic terrorists."

SHOCKING POLL: Majority of Americans think 'other Americans' are greatest risk to US

A new, shocking CBS News poll shows that the majority of Americans believe they're facing a new enemy: other Americans.

More than two-thirds of poll respondents said they believe democracy in the U.S. is "threatened," and 54% said "other people in America" are the "biggest threat to the American way of life," rather than economic factors, viruses, natural disasters, or foreign actors.

Will it be possible to unite our nation with statistics like that? On "The Glenn Beck Radio Program," Glenn and Stu discussed the poll numbers and what they mean for our future.

'The cult of Trump': As Biden era begins, calls grow louder to 'deprogram' Trump supporters

Countless leaders on the left are now arguing that removing President Donald Trump from office won't be enough — they're now calling for the president's "cult-like" supporters to be "deprogrammed." And it's not just fringe politicians.

During an appearance on "Real Time with Bill Maher" last week, former NBC anchor Katie Couric said, "The question is, how are we going to really almost deprogram these people who have signed up for the cult of Trump."

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi questioned whether the nation needs "a 9/11-type commission" to determine whether President Trump was colluding with Russian President Vladimir Putin "the day that the insurgents invaded our Capitol." Clinton also made sure to include her favorite "deplorables" in her unsubstantiated conspiracy theory:

"But we now know that not just [Trump] but his enablers, his accomplices, his cult members, have the same disregard for democracy," Clinton said to Pelosi.

Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson and New York Times Magazine's Nikole Hannah-Jones agreed that there is a need for "millions of Americans, almost all white, almost all Republicans" to be deprogrammed and punished, during an MSNBC interview last week.

Now, a story from the Washington Post is also preaching that narrative and even added that we need more restrictions for conservatives on social media and in the broadcast industry.

"So now we have to be deprogrammed? We've heard this over and over and over and over again, for months," said Glenn Beck on the radio program Tuesday. He read through the shocking details of the Washington Post op-ed and discussed the extraordinary dangers of the latest anti-conservative movement in America.

'We are the Alamo, we will stand': As calls for censorship get louder, Glenn Beck urges Americans to stand together

As calls for censorship and restrictions against conservative voices get louder, Glenn Beck said he feels an "awesome responsibility" to speak, not the words he'd personally like to say, but those he believes the Lord would want him to share.

"It's an awesome responsibility, and one that I am not worthy of," Glenn said. "I want to say ... what He wants me to say. And I have to listen very carefully, because I feel the same way you do. But that will get us nowhere."

Glenn said it's time for Americans who are awake — not woke — to come together, no matter which side of the political aisle you're on, and stand with the truth.

"We are the Alamo, we will stand. But we desperately, desperately need you," Glenn said. "We need the people who are awake — not woke — awake. You may disagree with us. We are your allies, not your enemies. And if you will not stand with us in our hour of need, there will be no one left to stand with you in your hour of need. We must all come together, anyone who is awake."
