 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program

Tales from the Dad Side

GLENN: We have Steve Doocy on the phone from Fox and Friends. Hello, Steve.

DOOCY: Hey, Mr. Beck, how are you doing?

GLENN: Very good. I feel like I know you because when I drive in, I listen to you every morning.

DOOCY: Shouldn't you be concentrating on the people who are trying to squeegee your window?

GLENN: It's coming back, I'm sure, with you we done have that anymore.

DOOCY: I'm talking about those guys from Lehman Brothers.

GLENN: It's weird, isn't it, all of the stuff that is going on? I drive by Lehman Brothers every day and they used to have that big, the whole side of the building was, you know, lit up and everything and now it's -- you know, it's a ghost town. It's bizarre, isn't it?

DOOCY: These are challenging times. I mean, it would be easy just to get up in the morning and not actually get up. No reason to leave the bed because look at what is going -- I mean, have you -- tell me the truth, Glenn. Have you looked at your 401(k) or any sort of a statement from a big house that keeps your money?

GLENN: Well, I actually have been on the air for two years saying this was coming. So I actually was in a position to not lose any money.

DOOCY: Yeah.

GLENN: But I was with -- I mean, you can count those people on, you know, one hand.

DOOCY: No, you know what? I'm a lot like you. We've got, just like you at your place, we've got a lot of people saying, look, this can't go up all the time; you're going to have to bail out, be in cash. And so you know, I got really defensive.

GLENN: Did you really?

DOOCY: Sure, absolutely. I have a lot of cash, and it's burning a hole in my pocket.

GLENN: Hear that all the time. Joe the plumber's talking about, I've got a lot of cash.

DOOCY: Oh, you know what? Speaking of Joe the plumber, you know, who -- you know how a lot of people with their debate parties, they have those drinking games where if you -- the first time McCain says "My friend," you've got to do a shot of something? Or the first time Obama says, you know, the wheels of the Straight Talk Express are coming out, you do a shot. Whoever picked Joe the plumber as the word for the drinking game.

GLENN: Yeah, you were hammered in the first five minutes. You were just hammered. You may have died from alcohol poisoning last night. What do you -- Steve, what do you think is -- what do you think's going to happen in this?

DOOCY: I don't know. Everybody said McCain had to step up to the plate and he had to talk about the relationships with Ayers and ACORN and stuff like that, and he did.

GLENN: I don't think he did a good job of it.

DOOCY: Well, he mentioned it, but he just didn't -- I know he's mavericky, but he did not look -- he did not look comfortable doing it. I think he's -- you know, he's got a code of conduct. He's a military man from way back, and I just don't know that it's in his soul to do that kind of stuff. It just seemed -- didn't it just seem like --

GLENN: What is in his soul that he wants to do, do you think?

DOOCY: Look, I think he's a man of honor and this is something new. You know, they were very direct talking about this kind of, it's a rough-and-tumble business sort of a thing.

GLENN: Do you think it's dishonorable to bring up somebody's -- look, I mean, you know, look, I don't care --

DOOCY: No, I don't.

GLENN: I mean, so why would he have a problem with that? I mean, a man of honor, if he loves his country -- and I know he does, and I know both of them do.

DOOCY: Sure.

GLENN: They just see the country in a different way. If you really love your country, it's dishonorable not to bring it up and say, look, you've got a guy, you've got several people in your life that are Marxists, they are Marxists. And Senator Obama, I'm sorry, but Joe the plumber, what you were saying to him, is Marxism. So don't talk to me about what he did at 8 years old. Tell me your pivot point where you thought, "Well, Marxism is a good idea or Marxism isn't a good idea.

DOOCY: Yeah, I know. I am with you completely on that but I wish -- I'm with you. I wish he would have gone a little further. You know, he got about halfway through the argument and then just --

GLENN: Petered out.

DOOCY: And stopped, petered out, exactly right. I wish he would have brought out Reverend Wright. I still don't get why Reverend Wright is not something to go after him about.

GLENN: Especially, again with Marxism.

DOOCY: Yeah.

GLENN: The philosophy of the Trinity church, look on their own website, is Marxism.

DOOCY: I know. Did you see -- and I'm sure you did because you see everything. Yesterday or the day before a reporter --

GLENN: I think you are making fun of me.

DOOCY: No, you just do see everything, when you're shopping online. Did you see a couple of days ago the Chicago Tribune sent a reporter out to the university where this Bill Ayers guy is a professor and he said -- the reporter said, "So what would you like to say?" And he goes, I have nothing to add. Then he goes, "Life happens." Really, he has nothing to add? You know, I think he has a lot to add. He could add, what exactly do you think Barack Obama realized the extent of your history of trying to blow stuff up? When -- you know, I want to know about the friendship or if there was one.

GLENN: I just want to know, you know, Barack Obama -- and I haven't seen anybody take this one apart yet, that Barack Obama said last night that he didn't go over to William Ayers' house and launch his campaign. There's -- I mean, CNN and Anderson Cooper had that piece on where the Obama campaign is saying, that's not true, that's not true. Anderson Cooper and CNN said it was true!

DOOCY: Well, I wonder if he was parsing because maybe that particular thing wasn't the kickoff?

GLENN: If you want to play the typical politician game.

DOOCY: They do, they do.

GLENN: But we should call people out on it. You know, with all the things that are going on, Steve, you know, the Tales from the Dad Side is your new book. Has it come out yet?

DOOCY: It came out this week. Thank you for asking.

GLENN: And I don't know about you but I mean, you've got a perfect timing for it. I have -- this particular weekend, in fact, I was thinking to myself, you know, nobody knows who to trust and it's right there on our money, in God we trust.

DOOCY: Right.

GLENN: We've lost our trust and our faith in God, and when you do that, it comes pack to our family. I think we're on the verge of realizing that a financial 9/11 has happened to us and when we do, we'll bring our families, bring our families back together. Is there anything more important than being a dad to you?

DOOCY: Well, you've got a good point because we know that jobs can be capricious. I mean, look at those guys at Wall Street: "I think this job's going to last forever." A lot of those guys don't work for those firms anymore and a lot of them suddenly are going to be working for the government. And at the end of the day what do you always have? You've always got your wife, your husband, you've got your kids and your relatives.

GLENN: Get rid of your relatives. You know what I mean? Just stop answering the phone.

DOOCY: Fine, look at the bad side. You got in-laws, too.

GLENN: I have caller ID. So... "Hello? I'm sorry, they don't live here anymore."

DOOCY: With my in-laws it's not caller ID. I just got a red siren that just starts. It's like a beacon. It starts flashing on top of the princess phone in the den.

GLENN: I'm painting my house camouflage. You have two kids in college, don't you?

DOOCY: I do. I've got one out at Villanova and one up in Boston.

GLENN: What, are you crazy? What's their exact address? What are you doing, man?

DOOCY: I'm not going to tell you -- well, actually my son's been on the show talking about the particular school he goes to and I'm not going to mention where my daughters go. So I've got three kids: Peter, Mary, Sally, or as we refer to them for family archival purposes, P, M, S. Peter, Mary, Sally. No, it's true.

GLENN: How unbelievably appropriate.

DOOCY: It just happened that way.

GLENN: There's a chapter in your book that I love about taking your kids to college and trying to figure out and, you know, jeez -- please, please don't do this, please?

DOOCY: I will tell you, I mean, it is a funny book because times are tough and we need to laugh about something. And the book does start with the birth of my son Peter and goes right up to where I tried to pay for college with bonus miles and that never worked well. But I will tell you, Glenn, that the hardest thing as a parent who worries about his kids, the hardest thing to say in the English language is "Goodbye" because when you cart them off to college and their entire life history is contained in some Tupperware or Rubbermaid containers and a whole great big pyramid of cheesy crackers and water from Costco, that is -- you have just downloaded from the family station wagon in front of their dorm, when you say goodbye and you look in the rearview mirror as you pull out and that is as hard a moment as you'll have.

GLENN: You know, I think there's only one time that I cried more on that day, or more than that day and I think it's when the phone rang and my daughter said, "Dad, I'm moving back in."

DOOCY: (Laughing).

'Scheduled for EXECUTION': Unvaxxed COVID patient flown to Texas after being denied life-saving care in Minnesota

Image source: Video screenshot

Scott Quiner was transferred over the weekend to a hospital in Texas after doctors in Minnesota threated to terminate life support measures as he battled severe complications from COVID-19. Scott's wife, Anne Quiner, appealed to the courts for a restraining order to prevent the hospital from pulling the plug as she sought a new facility to provide medical care for her husband. Scott was unvaccinated when he tested positive for COVID-19 in late October, 2021.

Anne and her attorney Marjorie Holsten joined "The Glenn Beck Program" Thursday to describe their frantic efforts to halt the hospital's decision to turn off Scott's life support — allegedly because he was unvaccinated — and just how difficult it was to get him the medical treatment he needed.

"It was absolutely stunning," Holsten told Glenn. "[Anne] came in and she has this order, I saw the screenshot from the [online medical] chart that said [Scott] is basically scheduled for execution at noon the following day."

According to Holsten, the Minnesota hospital responded to her appeal for a restraining order by claiming that the "position" to keep Scott alive "is not supported by medical science or Minnesota law. As a result, Mercy will ask the court to issue an order that Mercy has the authority to discontinue Mr. Quiner's ventilator and proceed with his medical care plan."

"The 'medical care plan' was the plan to discontinue the ventilator at noon, which leads to death very shortly. So that was at 10 o'clock, but then at 11 o'clock, before the 12 o'clock execution, the judge did, in fact, sign an order saying the hospital is restrained from pulling the plug," she added.

Anne told Glenn that doctors in Texas were shocked by Scott's condition after he arrived from the Minnesota hospital. Not only had he been given dangerous drugs, he was also found to be “severely malnourished."

"The doctor [in Texas] spent two hours with Scott and when he came back out, he said, 'I don't know how he even made it, how he even survived that other hospital ... but I will do everything I can to try to save his life,'" Anne explained.

"And the doctor [in Texas] said Scott was the most undernourished patient he has ever seen," Holsten added.

"Glenn, we are first bringing this battle to the court of public opinion," Holsten continued. "What we are showing the world is that Scott was near death because of the protocols used in that [Minnesota] hospital, but now he is recovering. He is getting better.... Now, we're not planning a funeral, we're planning for his release."

WATCH: The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of 21st-Century Fascism

The Great Reset is not just an elitist idea — it’s not even a socialist utopian concept. It’s a real-world fascist threat to every American from Wall Street to Main Street. It’s happening now in policies and cultural shifts big and small, obvious and subtle, from environmental promises to corporations going woke. But the mainstream media, global elites, and politicians brushed off the Great Reset as “nothing to see here.” Another myth they push: “The World Economic Forum is just a conference for elites who have no REAL power.”

Glenn Beck first exposed the Great Reset almost two years ago, and the globalist cries of "conspiracy theorist" soon followed. They said he believed the WEF was a “master cabal calling the shots from some evil underground lair.” But Glenn Beck never said that. Instead, he uncovered the true intentions of global leaders in finance and politics by simply highlighting their own words.

This week, the same global elites are doubling down on their agenda at the World Economic Forum’s Davos Agenda virtual event. But still, the global elites — like Twitter’s Jack Dorsey — are trying to downplay the WEF’s influence to stop people like us from interfering with their plans. The oligarchy will prosper in the new world order they’ve designed. You will not.

So Glenn unveils a master chalkboard based on his best-selling new book to outline the threats from globalists and why we must stop their agenda if we hope to keep the precious freedoms we still have.

'This isn't such a crazy conspiracy theory after all': Journalist concedes 'loony' Glenn Beck is RIGHT about the Great Reset

Kim Iversen, journalist, YouTuber, and host of "The Kim Iversen Show," reacted to Glenn Beck's appearance last week on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" by conceding that, while the subject of Beck's new book, "The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of Twenty-First-Century Fascism" might at first sound "a little bit loony," closer analysis confirms "this isn't such a crazy conspiracy theory after all."

"Glenn Beck was on Tucker Carlson's show last week touting what has been called a right-wing conspiracy theory and discussing his new book, 'The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of Twenty-First-Century Fascism'," began Iverson on The Hill's "Rising."

"Well, maybe that all sounds a little bit loony — and believe me, I do think Glenn Beck tends to be a loon," she quipped. "But, maybe this isn't such a crazy conspiracy theory after all. And after seeing everything we've seen with the governments enacting all sorts of authoritarian controls and many other conspiracy theories coming true, maybe there's something to be concerned about. So, what is the Great Reset? The name even sounds conspiratorial, but believe it or not, it's a real thing."

Iverson went on to explain exactly who is behind the Great Reset, what their agenda entails, how they are using the COVID-19 pandemic to "to rebuild society in a way the global elites see best fit."

"You'll own nothing and you will be happy: That's what they're saying," Iverson explained. "And with inflation sky high and no signs of it slowing down, they might be right. We are on our way to becoming a nation of renters, but don't worry it's nothing to fear ... don't worry, everything is being done under the premise that this is all ... being done for our own good, the benefit of a collective society, and we will be happy," she added sarcastically.

Iverson concluded by asking, "Who thinks it's a good idea that a bunch of corporate millionaire and billionaires and world leaders are getting together and coming up with what's best for we the little people? I mean, who thinks that that's a really good idea? And who thinks that they are going to be doing it for our benefit? But, of course they're going to frame it like 'Oh, this is good for you. You're going to rent. You'll own nothing and you'll be happy. Don't worry about it' ... When you look at the actual list of partners with the World Economic Forum, they control everything. They control media. They control health. They control business. They control everything, and so then it does become, how do we people fight against that?"

Watch the video clip below to hear Kim Iverson break it down and don' t miss Wednesday night's special episode of "GlennTV" on BlazeTV’s YouTube channel.

Iversen joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to discuss what The Great Reset is and how YOU can help stop it. Watch the video clip from "The Glenn Beck Program" below:

Bill O’Reilly: PROOF Biden may be the worst president in HISTORY

President Joe Biden just had the worst-rated week in the entire first year of his presidency, but his latest poll numbers are the icing on the cake, Bill O'Reilly told Glenn Beck on the radio program.

Given that polls aren’t always correct, O’Reilly explained another way to prove that Biden's first year may be worse than any other president's before him: It’s impossible to name one single contribution Biden has made to move America forward.

"Biden: There isn't anything you can point to. Not one thing ... that he's done to improve the nation. That's the test. You just step back, take emotion out of it, politics out of it, and say, give me one thing that Joe Biden has done to improve the country. Just one. And you can't do it," O'Reilly said. "And if there is, I want your listeners to contact me at BillO'Reilly.com."
