GLENN: 888 727 BECK, 888 727 BECK. You have to hear NPR. You ready? This is the part of the Kennedy coverage on NPR. Oh, jeez, stop.

PAT: This is the open.

GLENN: I can't

PAT: This is good.

GLENN: Stop, I can't take it.

PAT: This is good. You've got to hear this. We should learn.

GLENN: It's just so snotty.

PAT: We should learn from this.

GLENN: I can hear the ratings just growing right now.

STU: How do we get more of this on the radio? How does that happen?

GLENN: How do we get more?

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Mark Lloyd, our new FCC czar will

(Audio playing)

GLENN: By the way, I'm not kidding you. This is what Mark Lloyd wants. Mark Lloyd is our new diversity czar. I pointed him out on Wednesday. He was the guy that we have on tape, on videotape again. No one responding to it. Extolling the important revolution that happened in Venezuela with Hugo Chavez. And if it wasn't for the United States and these big businesses and nonstate run radio, that revolution could have happened a lot easier. And that's that was his he's trying to make a case that we shouldn't, we shouldn't have free radio and television. It should all be run by the state. And he's using Hugo Chavez's first failure as a reason why because he hadn't controlled the radios yet. I mean, what?

STU: Well, did he say it over that music? Because I think it would be more credible.

GLENN: Do it again.

(Audio playing)

GLENN: You know that very start again, start again. You know that very important revolution in no, no, you know what, I can't do it. Do we have the Toll McClellan? Go ahead. Because I think we can we have our own.

VOICE: This has been Almost All Things Considered with toll

GLENN: No, wait, that was the ending. That's the ending. Do we have the beginning?

STU: Here's the beginning.

GLENN: Here's the beginning.

(Audio playing)

VOICE: Welcome back to National Public Radio.

GLENN: Yes.

VOICE: And now Almost All Things Considered with your host, Toll McClellan.

GLENN: Hello, I'm Toll McClellan with guests Biff Biffeson and, hello, Biff. Biff

PAT: Good to be here, George, good to be here.

GLENN: Biff, we are talking about this crazy thing called freedom of speech. And Mark Lloyd, the new FCC diversity czar that quite correctly pointed out that Hugo Chavez and his first attempt at revolution failed because of freedom of speech.

PAT: Bloody awful, Beck, bloody awful.

GLENN: See, we can do this. We've got jobs no matter what happens. We've got jobs.

PAT: Okay.

GLENN: So anyway, let's go hang on. Hold on just a second. I believe, Biff, we have a phone call.

PAT: Do we have? How marvelous.

GLENN: We have a phone caller coming through. Unfortunately our phone system here at NPR works as well as the private radio stations did. Yes, hello?

CALLER: Hello.

GLENN: Yes.

CALLER: I'm very interested in your program. Thank you now

GLENN: Please hold down some of the passion.

PAT: Your inside voice, if you will. If you wouldn't mind.

CALLER: I apologize. I'm very excited as you can tell from being on the program.

GLENN: Indoor voice, thank you.

PAT: Indoor voice.

CALLER: I just am invigorated by your commentary today.

GLENN: Slow down just a bit, please.

PAT: No reason to get excited, good fellow.

CALLER: Well, I'm very invigorated by your commentary. I just can't believe what you're talking about today because this is what I've been thinking for years and years, which is why do I have all these choices? When I turn on the radio

GLENN: Biff, very good point made here by the

PAT: Excellent, excellent point.

GLENN: Who usually we just look down our nose at and wonder why these people even are allowed to have phones.

PAT: Even exist, even exist on the planet.

GLENN: Even exist, yes, thank you.

PAT: Is there no population control anymore? What happened to the 1970s?

GLENN: There are no white houses, are there no prisons?

PAT: There are no prisons. It's bloody awful.

GLENN: All right, all right, stop, okay. So here is what NPR said. This is a conversation on NPR about Ted Kennedy.

VOICE: Sad at his passing and yet celebrating this huge life and his huge long list of accomplishments.

VOICE: I think he would be the last person who would want us, those he's left behind, to be morose and full of bathos.

GLENN: Oh, hang on. Morose and full of bathos.

PAT: Or partos or Arcadian for that matter.

GLENN: I am so full of bathos until I squeezed it out of me.

PAT: When you use the term bathos four times in a day, it belongs to you. It's your own word and you get royalties from it from then on. Bathos.

GLENN: You now own it! You've said it four times.

PAT: Oh, how marvelous!

GLENN: I may have to say it; I don't have enough money in my wallet. (Laughing). Okay, so anyway, he wouldn't want us to be full of bathos.

VOICE: He would come in with a big guffawing laugh and make us laugh, too.

VOICE: He would, yes.

STU: Are we going to ignore guffawing?

GLENN: Stop, stop, stop, stop. I mean, it's a normal word.

PAT: A big guffawing laugh. (Laughing).

GLENN: Oh, and we all would have, we all would have chortled over that for hours.

VOICE: At his own expense.

VOICE: Well, you know, he I don't know if you know this or not, but one of his favorite topics

GLENN: Ready?

VOICE: of humor was indeed Chappaquiddick itself and he would ask people, have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick.

PAT: That's such a scream!

GLENN: It is.

PAT: Remember that chick I drove into the creek? She was like 19, 20 years old, wasn't my wife! (Laughing). I went home, I'm out, you know, I'm a little wet, but I'm home relaxing with a beer; she's expecting me to come back! (Laughing).

GLENN: Oh, man. You're killing me! (Laughing). Just like her!

PAT: It was killing her! (Laughing).

GLENN: Oh, man!

PAT: That's rich, like me!

Peter Schweizer: Hunter Biden's jailed former business partner flips, grants access to NEVER-before-revealed emails

When Bevan Cooney — the former "junior" business partner to Hunter Biden and Devon Archer — went to jail in 2019, investigative reporter and New York Times bestselling author Peter Schweizer thought he'd never gain access to the damning emails Cooney had promised. That all changed three weeks ago when Schweizer was given complete access to Cooney's gmail account.

Schweizer joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Tuesday to describe just some of the business deals revealed within these emails — like Hunter working with an alleged Russian criminal and with Chinese communists to secure their assets, or to secure one-on-one time with his dad, then-Vice President Joe Biden. And all of this new information is completely separate from the emails allegedly discovered on Hunter Biden's laptop recently reported by the New York Post.

"So, I want to make this clear. This [Cooney's emails] has nothing to do with what's on the laptop … It didn't come from [Rudy] Giuliani. It didn't come from anybody else, right?" Glenn asked Schweizer.

"That's absolutely correct," Schweizer confirmed.

He briefly explained how Cooney, a former Los Angeles nightclub owner, is currently serving a prison sentence for his involvement in a fraudulent business bond scheme with Biden and Archer. From prison, Cooney gave Schweizer written permission to access his Gmail account.

"This is really important," he noted. "We're not looking at printouts. Not looking at PDFs. We're actually in his Gmail accounts themselves, sifting through these emails. And there's a shocking amount of information about deals involving China, involving Russia, involving all sorts of things they were trying to pull off."

O'REILLY: The Left HATES Trump so much, they'd rather vote for the 'senile, corrupt guy'

The king of "No Spin" and bestselling author of "Killing Crazy Horse," Bill O'Reilly joined Glenn Beck on this week's podcast to talk about the latest developments in Joe Biden's Ukraine and China corruption scandal. Now that some of the details are finally coming out in the open, does the average Democrat care? Maybe, but the Left doesn't seem to.

O'Reilly argued there's more hatred for President Donald Trump now than in 2016, and that some people hate President Trump so much that they'd rather vote for the "senile, corrupt" Joe Biden.

"Hunter got tens of millions of dollars from Ukraine, from Russia, from China because his father was vice president. I have no doubt in my mind," O'Reilly said. "But the hatred for Donald Trump overrides that in the minds of millions of viewers. They're saying, 'You know, we'd rather have the senile corrupt guy than Trump.'"

Asked by Glenn if any other Republican running for president would be met with the same level of vitriol, O'Reilly answered, "The Left is the Left. They don't like America. The want to redo the Constitution. They want to take some of our freedoms, like the Second Amendment and the First Amendment, and change them. And they want to destroy capitalism and replace it with a big centralized government in Washington that controls the economy … but I'm talking about the folks. I have liberal friends and I say to them, 'Do you not understand that when you vote for Biden, you're voting against your own self interest?'"

Glenn Beck: A message for Trump-haters who have 'forgotten' our president's MANY accomplishments

Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images

In a phone call with his constituents, Senator Ben Sasse (R-Neb) unleashed a torrent of criticisms about President Donald Trump, saying he "flirted with white supremacists," "kisses dictators' butts," and "spends like a drunken sailor."

On the radio program Friday, Glenn said he was disappointed in Sen. Sasse for apparently forgetting all of President Trump's accomplishments. Because, in reality, Trump has accomplished a lot more than many presidents before him.

Then, for anyone who may have forgotten President Trump's achievements — or who simply hate the man so much they've ignored them — Glenn listed just some of the many things this president has achieved during his three and a half years in the White House.

Watch the video below to hear Glenn's message for all the Trump-haters who have forgotten Trump's accomplishments, or you can read Glenn's list HERE:

A message to President Trump's haters

President Trump has given us great judges on the lower court, 3 judges far superior than Roberts and other bogus constitutionalists as SCOTUS and one just may turn out to be another Clarence Thomas. He kicked the ass of ISIS and came home.

He got us out of the disastrous Iran deal, killed their head of terror, boxed them in and is currently collapsing their economy while also brokering a Mid East peace deal that everyone said could never happen. He moved our embassy to Jerusalem despite the state department, something no president has done even though they all promised.

Yes, he met with the North Korean Dictator. I hated that, but I also hated the fact that no other president did anything and North Korea kept gaining power. He has gotten Europe to pay their share of NATO, brought the Arabs and the Jews together, while smashing the choke hold of the PLO, and stood up to the Chinese instead of selling them supercomputers (Clinton), accepting lead poison in dog food (Bush), or loving the CCP and taking millions in dirty money (Obama/Biden).

He also has defended religious liberty unlike any other president at least in the last 100 years, and is a true pro-life advocate that unlike most republicans backs it up with action instead of just talk.

President Trump has also opened doors that the GOP was too wussy to even try to open with Hispanics and Blacks. He again didn't pander. He instead cleared the dead wood and opened pathways up so they could get higher education, create jobs, and not get lost in the prison system.

He also has defended religious liberty... and is a true pro-life advocate.

President Trump also took on an economy that had been beaten down, a people who had been told "you didn't build that" and, in fact, Obama and Biden claimed that the economy was "as good as it would ever get," that we would never create jobs in sectors ever again.

President Trump gave us the lowest unemployment rate since 1969 (the year I celebrated my 5th birthday,) the lowest unemployment for Hispanics & Blacks ever, and the first real growth in pay that I can remember.

President Trump then responded to the largest pandemic in 100 years by doing a couple of things I have never seen a president do:

  1. America's biggest capitalist shuts down the entire economy and knowingly puts his re-election at risk in order to save people.
  2. Closes travel with China and Europe, only to be called “racist," "xenophobic" and accused of stirring hatred. Now everyone says they were for it, but he stood alone and took the heat.

When everyone bashed him because they thought he would seize control and become an authoritarian by telling states what to do, or taking control of companies and telling them what to produce, he simply asked the free market to step to the plate, because he trusts the people of this country to do the right thing. By not taking control, he was called a dictator and a Nazi. Meanwhile he has been blamed for the blood bath created by Gov. Cuomo's nursing home policies. They said 2 million would die, best case scenario 200,000 — if we did everything right. Gee, seems that we are now in the time period they told us would be phase two, it seems as though we seem to have hit that "best case scenario" at this point.

While all of this has gone on, President Trump has fought the lies that were started by Hillary Clinton's team to smear him as a Russian operative. It was enabled by the Obama White House and included the DOJ, CIA, Dept of State, FBI, and DNI. Did I leave anyone out? Oh, yeah we are now getting evidence that members of the Pentagon may have been involved as well. Not to mention the so-called "press" and Congress who did things that would embarrass not only "Frank Underwood" but also Kevin Spacey. He has single handedly exposed the press for who they are and have always been. Because of his tweets, personal style and frankly balls of steel, he has exposed those who truly are: "Enemies of the people." I hated that when he first said it, but it is true. Any person or group that knowingly lies to destroy our president, our Constitution and the free market, are not just enemies of the people, they are enemies of the freedom of all mankind.

As someone who didn't support President Trump at first (and that is putting it mildly) I remain honest enough to judge him on his entire record. He is perhaps the only man in America that can and has stood entirely alone, surrounded by enemies, surrounded by those who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who are now actively engaged in destroying it and any elected president who stands in their way.

Personally, I have grown sick and tired of spineless, do nothing, old, corrupt GOP politicians who are either part of the problem or too frightened to stand alone and speak up. The vast majority are all "Sunshine Patriots." History will condemn those who did nothing but complain and whine, while others not only rang the bell, but stood and took the hits, who risked it all and lost money, reputation and perhaps, God forbid, some who gave the ultimate sacrifice to fight the evil that rages so clearly against the light.

100 years from now history will judge all of us. So will our children's children. Most will be forgotten. Those who failed to show up on the battlefield or cower in the trees, will be remembered with shame and disdain. Others like President Trump, I believe will be seen as indispensable.
