Glenn Beck Drinks the Blood of Small People Who Are Different Than He Is

GLENN: Here's something that is up on the website at GlennBeck.com and you would only get if you were, I guess if you were from New York the New York Magazine, have you ever seen that, New York Magazine? Yeah. Seen it on the shelves. I've never actually purchased one. I don't think I ever would. But it's always got some highfalutin -- it's always like, "Good news! The ballet has added two new performances." And you're like, oh, great. And it's -- I don't know if this is their official slogan. It might be. I'm not sure. The magazine for snobs. I shouldn't say that out loud? Okay.

They asked me to answer 21 questions and so I did over the weekend. Not thinking that they would actually run any of them, but I went to their website. I haven't seen I want in the magazine yet, but I went to their website. We've posted it at GlennBeck.com and it's all like -- I don't even know how to say his name. It's Suri or whatever his name is, a designer, it's all these people. Oh, my favorite drink? It's got to be a '71 Cabernet Chateau Lafite. It's all the, you know, snobby stuff.

So I was a little squirrely this weekend and I decided to answer the questions and here they are. Who is your favorite New Yorker, living, dead, real or fictional? I thought the answer that would set most New Yorkers on fire and the one that was actually true would be Teddy Roosevelt. In one sentence what do you actually do all day in your job? Same thing as you except my cubicle is connected to radio and television networks. Would you live in New York on a $35,000 salary? My answer? I couldn't afford the bug spray on $35,000. Do you give money to panhandlers? No, except when they're actually handling pans. I think it's a lost art. What is your favorite drink? And this is what they actually use as the headline. What is your favorite drink? My answer? As a conservative, I guess it's just what you would expect it to be. I drink the blood of small people who are different than me.

DAN: They probably didn't think you were kidding, did they?

GLENN: That's the headline. "Glenn Beck drinks the blood of small people who are different than he is." (Laughing).

DAN: At least they weren't being salacious with their headlines.

GLENN: Oh, I know. That's the only time a salacious headline is accurate.

How often do you prepare your meals? I just thought this was -- I just thought this was so snotty, it was great. How often do you prepare your own meals? Who asks that question? How often do you prepare your own meals? I put, if by "You," you mean "My people," then, well, all the time. What's your favorite medication? What kind of question is that? What's your favorite kind of medication? I'm a recovering alcoholic. All of them. This is my favorite answer. What's hanging above your sofa? In your wildest dreams, how boring does the conversation have to get before you say, "So what's hanging above your sofa?" I mean, you're just, you're searching for something to say at that point. "So what kind of toilet paper do you buy? What's your favorite color? What's above your sofa?" My favorite answer of the whole thing is what's hanging above your sofa? Just to drive the Central Park West crowd crazy, I have furs, lots and lots of furs. This interview just makes me happy. I just love this. Who is your mortal enemy? Almost everyone between 63rd and 86th Streets.

You can find it. It's entitled "Glenn Beck Drinks the Blood of Small People Who Are Different Than He is" in New York Magazine. You can find it at GlennBeck.com. Dan, do you think that will make me popular in New York?

DAN: They already love you here, Glenn, and I think after reading that, they are really going to come to a new appreciation of you.

GLENN: I was walking down the street with my wife. I don't know if I told you this story. I was walking down the street with my wife, like, three weeks ago and this woman looks at me and I can tell she recognizes who I am and she body slams me. I'm not kidding you. She's like 40 years old. Body slams me as she walks past me and as she does, she says, "I hate you." Furs, lots and lots of furs.

'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.

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?

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.

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 ...

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

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."
