The Glenn Beck Program




Glenn Beck is seen here on the Insider Webcam, an exclusive feature available only to Glenn Beck Insiders. Learn more...

GLENN: What does this ACORN T‑shirt make you feel and why does it make you feel that way?

CALLER: Well, just, I was very, very surprised when I turned it on this morning and saw you wearing it because they're destroying our country and it just, you know, it breaks my heart.

PAT: You know what Bev needs is a behavioral psychologist.

GLENN: Some sort of behavioral ‑‑

PAT: Yes.

GLENN: Hang on just a sec.

PAT: Someone who can sit with her in her living room.

GLENN: Oh, wait, wait, wait, I have one. From Washington representative Brian Baird introduced a bill yesterday, H.R. 3247 that will establish a social and behavioral science research program. What would the program do? It would be set up to identify and understand social and behavioral factors that influence energy consumption to promote the utilization of the results of social and behavioral research to improve the design, development and demonstration and application of energy technologies policies and programs, and it's going to create a director of social and behavioral research.

STU: That would be helpful.

GLENN: Wouldn't that be great?

STU: That would be great for us.

GLENN: Because then we can find out what's going on with Bev and the way we can get Bev to stop with the hatred of ACORN. Just because they're different than you, Bev.

CALLER: See, I don't believe anything I hear out of any of them.

STU: Stop screaming, Bev.

CALLER: I got an e‑mail from someone this morning and it had a newspaper article from Russia.

PAT: Please use your indoor voice, Bev.

CALLER: Oh, I'm sorry. I just get very heated when I talk about it.

GLENN: See, there's the anger we were talking about. I mean, you let these kooks like Bev talk and they immediately hang themselves.

STU: Sounds like a Bev problem.

GLENN: I mean, here she is. All right, go ahead, Bev, tell us about Russia.

CALLER: See, there's a newspaper article in Russia and it's verified by Snopes how they are making fun of the United States, how we're just letting our democracy slip away and not doing a thing about it and that's just ‑‑

GLENN: No, that ‑‑ Bev, can I tell you something?

CALLER: Sure.

GLENN: You know what article I'm talking about? How old is that article, Pat? Do you remember? That was when I was ‑‑ I gave that speech at the capitol, when was that?

PAT: About three months? Three months ago?

GLENN: That's ‑‑ Bev.

CALLER: Oh, that's old news?

GLENN: That's old news.

STU: Tired old arguments of the past.

GLENN: Why are you bringing up the tired old arguments of the past?

CALLER: I'm sorry, that's my mistake.

PAT: We're talking social justice now.

CALLER: See, I guess I'm a former drinker as well. So maybe I should have a beer and I'll feel better about everything.

GLENN: There we are. See, we ‑‑ if we all just have some beers, then it will all start making sense to us.

CALLER: Oh, there you go.

GLENN: Thank you very much, Bev.

CALLER: Thank you, Glenn. Have a good ‑‑

GLENN: You know what? Look, America, you have to learn this lesson. It's going to be very hard to become sane. See, you're insane right now. You're crazy. May I just quote Winston Smith writing in his diary? With the feeling that he was speaking to O'Brien, he was setting forth this axiom. He said freedom is the freedom to say that 2 plus 2 make 4. If that is granted, all else follows. And then later Winston, for his own good was being administered a therapy session and he's crying out and he says, how can I help it? How can I help seeing what is in front of my eyes? 2 and 2 are 4. And he starts to cry and then the person who's just there to help says, sometimes, with Winston, sometimes they're 5. Sometimes they're 3. Sometimes they're all of them at once. You must try harder. It's not easy to become sane. That's from the book 1984. We don't understand yet, you see. You're insane. Gee, where have I read that about me? Oh, in all of the media, especially any media owned by General Electric. That's weird. General Electric? Why would the media, why would the media arm of General Electric, CNBC, NBC, why would they try to paint me in any other way? Why would they do that? Sure, sure I am a big competitor but, wow, so are you saying that just for money a competitor will try to destroy, just for the small amount of money that GE would make if they took me off of Fox News? Is that enough money to make the system, from all of MSNBC yesterday and then the Today Show and the Tonight Show. What would be their motivation for doing that? Unless maybe GE is just an extension of this administration. Unless GE is just somehow or another a propaganda arm of this government. Only because they can't make a ‑‑ they will make a small amount of money destroying me, but if they're in bed with the federal government and the administration, well, my gosh, they're in aerospace. They can continue to get all these great contracts. They're in green energy. That's fantastic. They're in broadcast you know it's pretty dicey right now if you're in broadcast. Look at all of the great things that they can accomplish for the good of humanity, for the good of the collective. Oh, you know, I've been insane, I guess. I have been insane.

STU: Do you see what's happening here? He's starting to sound like Bev, the caller.

GLENN: No, I'm waking up. That's why I'm wearing the ACORN shirt.

'Lord, we are SORRY it has taken us this long': BlazeTV hosts react to historic Roe v. Wade decision

The Supreme Court of the United States officially overturned Roe V. Wade, and the debate over abortion rights has been given back to the states. On this historic day, BlazeTV hosts celebrate the Supreme Court's incredible decision and take a look at some of the insane reactions as the left comes completely undone.

Jason Whitlock: Today will forever stand as a pivotal moment in our nation’s history

The Supreme Court of the United States overturned Roe v. Wade. The decision and the reaction to it have already revealed a lot about our people and politics. Pro-life groups celebrate, pro-choice groups call for “a night of rage,” and Nancy Pelosi just seems completely confused by the United States Constitution.

Glenn Beck reacts LIVE to Roe v. Wade ruling: 'Lord, we are SORRY it has taken us this long'

I never thought that in my lifetime, I would see Roe v. Wade be overturned. But today, that day has come. The Supreme Court has voted 6 to 3 to return decisions about abortion to the states. But this fight isn't over. We are about to see good versus evil side by side. Many states will stand with the unborn. But others will become abortion mills. It's your turn to choose now, America!

Allie Beth Stuckey: 'Praise God, Roe v. Wade is overturned!'

I don't know about you, but I just had the most euphoric feelings. It almost seems too good to be true. I didn't think there was any way that this would actually happen, especially with all the backlash, intimidation, and violence toward the Supreme Court justices. And yet, here we are. Roe v. Wade has been overturned. This is an amazing day!

Dave Rubin: Big disagreement on what happens next now that Roe v. Wade is overturned

Dave Rubin, Libby Emmons, Jeffrey A. Tucker, and David Reaboi debate what will happen in the wake of the Supreme Court’s breaking decision on Roe v. Wade. Now that abortion rights have been pushed back to the states, will there be a summer of massive riots or not? Will the Roe v. Wade ruling make America’s political polarization significantly worse?

Stu Burguiere: Here are the reasons SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade

I never thought this would happen. I never thought I would see this day. I just never ever ever ever never ever believed that Roe v. Wade would actually be overturned. I really didn't. But let's take a look at the reasons this day has finally come ...

The Rick & Bubba Show: 'This is history! Unfortunately we're 60 million lives too late'

We were live on the air when news broke of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Parkland survivor tries to delete 'inciting' tweet about SCOTUS justices — but the internet is forever

Photo by Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for WE Day

Today, the Supreme Court of the United States overturned its controversial 1973 Roe v. Wadeopinion, concluding that there is no constitutional right to an abortion.

"The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives," the syllabus of the decision reads.

As expected, the leftist outrage erupted instantaneously, fueled largely by the misinformed idea that overturning Roe v. Wade means abortion will be banned nationwide. But, as stated in the above-mentioned Supreme Court syllabus, the authority has actually been returned to individual states and their duly elected lawmakers.

One such misinformed leftist, Parkland shooting survivor Cameron Kasky, was infuriated that those awful Supreme Court justices "just voted to kill women." So he took to Twitter to urge people to go to the homes of said Supreme Court justices to "let them know how you feel."

"Go to the home of every Supreme Court justice who just voted to kill women. Let them know how you feel," Kasky tweeted.

The backlash was immediate:

Kasky decided to delete his original tweet because he is apparently "sick of republicans talking to [him]." But, unfortunately for Kasky, the internet is indeed forever:

Speaking from the White House, President Joe Biden dutifully helped spread the misinformation about the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, and took the opportunity to prompt voters to elect more Democrats in November so that Congress can write abortion protections into law. Did the president just let slip the real reason Congress hasn't made any effort to start writing such laws in the nearly two months since Justice Samuel Alito's draft opinion was "leaked" in early May?

Watch Glenn Beck and producer Stu Burguere discuss how Biden's speech reveals that Democrats are absolutely terrified of the upcoming midterm elections. Can't watch? Download the podcast here.

CNN reporter tries to 'ambush' GOP candidate Kari Lake, IMMEDIATELY regrets it

CNN senior national reporter Kyung Lah thought she'd caught Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake off guard when she asked for an impromptu interview outside an event, but ended up sorely regretting her decision.

Lake, a former Fox news anchor, shook hands with Lah as she approached and immediately pointed out that the CNN reporter wasn't wearing a mask any more, a barbed reference to a contentious interview in October 2021, in which Lah smeared the GOP candidate as a “rising star of the right-wing and proud spreader of lies." Lah asked if Lake had “a minute to chat.”

“I’ll do an interview," Lake answered, "as long as it airs on CNN+. Does that still exist? I didn’t think so, because the people don’t like what you guys are peddling, which is propaganda. Thank you.”

Lake then walked into the event, leaving Lah utterly speechless.

It looks like Lake gained quite a few fans on Twitter:

Kari Lake has been a longtime friend to "The Glenn Beck Program." She joined Glenn last August to tell Glenn why she left the corrupt world of media, what prompted her to enter "the even more corrupt world of politics," and how she plans to make a big difference in her battleground state of Arizona.

Hunter's Biden's latest BIZARRE scandal reveals how red-flag laws REALLY work

Photo by Demetrius Freeman/The Washington Post via Getty Images

Even if red-flag laws weren't unconstitutional (which they are), they've never been about your safety. They're about your submission, argued Glenn Beck on the radio program. Think of it this way: If red flag laws became the law of the land, do you think President Joe Biden’s son Hunter would lose his guns or face charges for violating the gun laws we already have?

You may have heard that he once "lost" a gun in a dumpster by a school. But there's a whole lot more to the bizarre tale. Newly revealed texts from Hunter's abandoned laptop detail the strange drama that unfolded when Hallie Biden, Hunter's sister-in-law-turned-lover, threw his handgun into a dumpster near a Delaware school in October 2018. The gun was found and turned in to police, but like so many of the Biden family scandals, the chaos created a sandstorm that conveniently helped cover Hunter's tracks. Only tidbits of information have emerged, the most significant of which is that the gun in question was purchased by Hunter illegally and, of course, no charges were filed as a result.

Glenn broke down the details of the most recently revealed Hunter Biden scandal, noting in particular that no charges or arrests were ever made as a result.

"If you voted for Joe Biden and you believe in all of these red-flag laws, then why isn't Hunter Biden in jail today?" Glenn asked.

"You and I both know that the ramifications of Hunter Biden's activities and his tragic saga go well beyond Hunter Biden, because they are teaching people a lesson. We are moving towards a society that has a ruling class that lives above their own edicts. They tell us they know better. They tell us that our neighbors and even some of us are dangerous, while ignoring the dangers in their own lives or in their own families ... We saw it during COVID-19 and we will see it again with gun regulations, 'The rules are for thee and not for me.' This is why Americans cannot give an inch, not one inch of our liberty away on the grounds of the government's good faith. They have no good faith left. They have violated every single principle of liberty and they've done it in a name of they know better," he said.

"Don't be fooled," Glenn added. "Just as we saw during COVID-19, just as we saw with the Patriot Act that is now being horribly abused by the people in power that swore they'd never abuse it, red-flags are not about your safety. Period. They are about your submission."
