The Glenn Beck Program



Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10


by Marcus Luttrell

GLENN:  Yeah, it is strange, but -- we have Marcus on the phone?  Marcus Luttrell is joining -- you must be so proud, Marcus Luttrell, to join us in this conversation.

LUTTRELL:  I am.

GLENN:  Hey, Marcus, I tried to call you the other day.

LUTTRELL:  I was fishing.

GLENN:  You were what?

LUTTRELL:  I was fishing.

GLENN:  You were fishing?

LUTTRELL:  Yes, sir, I don't take my phone out there.  Sorry about that.

GLENN:  What do you mean?  Okay, hang on just a second.  I believe I learned in your number one New York best times -- New York Times Best Seller Lone Survivor that a cell phone is kind of important.  You never know when you might need one for a helicopter to come pick you guys up.  Marcus, I wanted to talk to you because remember we talked, what was it, about two, three weeks ago and I was getting ready to go on vacation and I called you, and if I'm not mistaken -- I just want to make sure I understood this right -- you said, "Glenn, you can call me anytime.  If you ever need anything, you let me know.  Whatever you need, I'm there."  Right?

LUTTRELL:  Yes, sir.

GLENN:  Now, that wasn't just like, hey, Glenn, if you ever need any radio thing.  That was kind of like, hey, if your family or you need anything personally, right?

LUTTRELL:  You need anything, you just call.

GLENN:  All right.  Here's what I have.  You ready?

LUTTRELL:  Yes, sir.

GLENN:  All right.  The night before the NRA speech -- by the way, are you coming with me or are we going to meet there?

LUTTRELL:  Yeah, I'll be there.  Oh, yeah.

GLENN:  Are you going to come with me or are you going to meet me there?

LUTTRELL:  (Inaudible).

GLENN:  What did you say?

LUTTRELL:  I'll come out there with you.

GLENN:  Okay, good.  On the way to the airport I might have to make a stop, and I was wondering if you wanted to come in, you know, and meet somebody.  I'm sure he's going to be a fan of yours.  Here's the thing.  Here's the thing.  My daughter has a prom the night that we're supposed to go to the NRA convention and I just thought, totally unconnected, I just thought the guy that's going with her to the prom might enjoy meeting somebody who fought 400 Al-Qaeda members and lived.

LUTTRELL:  Oh, we can definitely do this.  We can have a blast with this ole boy.

GLENN:  Oh, I just thought, I just thought since we're going to be together, I might as well take The Lone Survivor just -- I mean, just, you know, I would recommend -- what do you think, Marcus?  She should be home at 10:00?

LUTTRELL:  Yeah.  Whatever time you pick her up, we'll start from there, pick her up at 8:00, you better have her home by, you know, 9:00.  An hour, we better get moving then, boy.  Whatever happens to her tonight is going to happen to you.  Do you understand what I'm saying?

GLENN:  Have you ever -- I mean, I just want you to know I'm not above using you to protect my daughter.  Do you have any friends that are as slimy as me, they are just willing to use you as a prop?  "He'll kill you if you touch my daughter."

LUTTRELL:  What's this guy's name?

GLENN:  I'd rather not say.

LUTTRELL:  All right.

GLENN:  Unless I have to.  What did you say?

LUTTRELL:  I'll stay on him right now.  Just sit in front of his house every day, don't say anything to him.

GLENN:  Are you back in New York?

LUTTRELL:  Yes, sir.

GLENN:  What are you doing --

LUTTRELL:  It's the one day of the year that I come up here.  You said yourself before I got on the show.

GLENN:  It's nice, isn't it, Marcus?  Have you been out on the streets yet?

LUTTRELL:  Yes, sir, it's a great day.  I mean, everybody's walking around here, beautiful women everywhere.

GLENN:  I know, I know.  Hey, listen.  Take my advice.  Some prostitution rings are safer than others.

LUTTRELL:  57th, right?

GLENN:  Yeah.  I don't think that's a good -- I don't think that's a good -- I think they are all unsafe but maybe that's just the prude in me.  Marcus, we'll talk to you, my man.

LUTTRELL:  Yes, sir.

GLENN:  Thank you.  We'll see you soon.

'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."

WATCH: This is why Eric Weinstein is FINALLY talking to Glenn Beck

Eric Weinstein, managing director of investment firm Thiel Capital and host of "The Portal" podcast, is not a conservative, but he says conservative and center-right-affiliated media are the only ones who will still allow oppositional voices.

On "The Glenn Beck Podcast" this week, Eric told Glenn that the center-left media, which "controls the official version of events for the country," once welcomed him, but that all changed about eight years ago when they started avoiding any kind of criticism by branding those who disagree with them as "alt-right, far-right, neo-Nazi, etc.," even if they are coming from the left side of the aisle. But their efforts to discredit critical opinions don't stop there. According to Eric, there is a strategy being employed to destroy our national culture and make sure Americans with opposing views do not come together.

"We're trifling with the disillusionment of our national culture. And our national culture is what animates the country. If we lose the culture, the documents will not save us," Eric said. "I have a very strongly strategic perspective, which is that you save things up for an emergency. Well, we're there now."

In the clip below, Eric explains why, after many requests over the last few years, he finally agreed to this podcast.
