A DIRE WARNING for independent content creators

We have hit another Big Tech censorship mile marker. Glenn exposes the latest attempts by Facebook, Apple, AND YouTube to soft-censor conservative media during an election year. He warns that independent content creators who believe that they can rely on Big Tech platforms will soon find out the harsh truth: If they don’t fall in line with the narratives of the global elites, they will face the consequences. For political content creators on Facebook, that day has come, as it has made shadowbanning its company policy. And for those on YouTube, Glenn exposes how a shadowy “non-profit” connected to the White House may be pressuring the company to crack down on unapproved narratives.

GLENN: I want to start with something you need to know about. You know, I feel like somebody who is just telling you the mile-markers as we go. We are hitting another mile-marker here that you really need to pay attention to. Because it is all about information.

We have been witnessing a very disturbing trend in social media lately.

The giants of social media are attempting to control the narrative and dictate what information you have access to, by punishing people like me, or perhaps people like you, for wrong think.

Now, this is a blatant assault on your freedom and my freedom of speech.

And what do you know, they've decided to do this, during an election year. I mean, what a coincidence.

So I have three updates for you. And the first one is actually a kind of win.

I shared last week, when my team discovered, that Apple had raided everything in my Apple podcast library, as explicit content.

That's over 2,000 episodes of my radio program. Which I am FCC regulated. So I can't have anything explicit on.

And also the Glenn Beck podcast.

Now, the key here is, why did Apple change the rating from clean, to explicit?

Well, my team uploads the -- the episodes to the Apple podcast platform. And they have to rate it either clean or explicit.

The vast majority of my episodes fall under the clean category. But our standards are a little higher than everyone else. Every so often, a guest on my podcast will use colorful language. They'll drop the F bomb. Occasionally. It's happened twice.

And my team, making sure that we understand our audience, have flagged that episodes as explicit. That shouldn't affect every episode. It should affect that episode. So we reached out to Apple for comment, and Apple got back to us right away, and claims this is due to four episodes, that we in the 2,000, have labeled explicit.

Now, Apple claimed, that we didn't say they were explicit. I know we did.

Apple wanted me to delete those episodes to get the label removed from all the rest of the 2000 episodes. Uh-huh.

So censorship, well, I don't know. There's people that use content settings to avoid podcasts that are entirely based around explicit content like pornography. What Apple did was group my shows with those kinds of shows to hide all of my shows from you.

We pushed back. Yesterday, we got a notification, that Apple will remove the explicit label, within a couple of business days. We've got a lot going on here. So it was a big misunderstanding, as it always is. And time and time again. And I just love the fact that they -- they will take a couple of days and correct this right away.

Now, this is called soft censorship.

And these attempts happen all the time.

Let me give you another example. Earlier this week, I got a notification, that Facebook is making shadow banning company policy.

Now, shadow banning, in case you don't know, is when a social media company allows you to post all the content that you want. But then it limits the reach that the content can hit.

So it's -- well, I call it the digital ghetto. You know, they're just rounding everybody up, that disagrees with the government. And they put them in this digital ghetto. There's a wall around it.

Well, they can speak all they want. But nobody will hear them. Unless you too, if into the get zero.

Now, this time, at least Facebook was kind enough to tell us about it.

They posted an article last week, called, our approach to political content. Now, Facebook admitted that they will shadow ban all political content.

But that's for you.

That has nothing to do with like the WEF saying, we've got to silence people. We have to make sure that people aren't misinformed with things that disagree with our policy, and our direction.

Now, Facebook argued that, quote, the people have told us, they just want to see less million content.

So we've spent the last few years, refining our approach on Facebook, to reduce the amount of political content. Including from politician accounts.

In feeds, reels, watch groups. You should join. And pages, you may like.

Okay. That's interesting. Because my team started noticing, oh, a 95 percent drop in our penetration on Facebook, about a year ago.

Which is weird. Which is weird.

But it will be better for our sanity, I guess.

I remember a time, when Facebook begged me to I didn't even their platform.

So what changed?

Well, an election year, where they're scared out of their mind.

And they have to silence anyone, that is telling you, a different opinion, than the overlords.

I would like to know what Facebook considers to be political content. Is advertising, LGBTQ issues to kids considered political?

I'll bet not. How about content on the benefits of abortion?

Is that April?

Does Joe Biden get a pass since he's the president?

Despite the fact that he's running for reelection. Or is it just the right-wing candidates and issues, that are from the right-wing that are considered political?

Don't worry. Facebook isn't banning all political content.

Instead, it's just hiding it by default.

If you want to see the political content. Then you can customize your feed preference, and turn. Back on.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

You can also add people like me, to your favorites list, so you can add content to your feed.

Sounds great and easy, doesn't it?

Now, my team stumbled across a new form of shadow banning, and it could be tied directly to the global censorship regime that I exposed just a few weeks ago.

Just a few weeks ago, on the TV program.
I had exposed the shadowy nonprofit targeting Glenn Beck and other conservative media.

And I laid out how a small British nonprofit, with only one employee, has become one of the White House's go-to censorship experts.

I'm going to tell you what we found just happening, and how it ties to what I said was coming two weeks ago.

And how all of this affects you.

Because it is going to affect what you perceive.

Because it's just taking things away. It's not necessarily adding. It's just kind of falling off. And you don't see it anymore.

This is a way to control the way people think.

Okay. So in the episode I did a couple of weeks ago, I introduced you to the center of countering digital hate.

When I say they are the ones behind the infamous dozen report that the White House peddled back in 2021.

That report targeted so-called COVID disinformation. All the things that we now know are true.

Well, they now have a new report out, about climate disinformation. But not the kind that you may be thinking of. Now, when I say they, I really mean him.

Because there's only one employee, at this nonprofit. Earlier this year, British outlet called the independent, highlighted this new report. Apparently, it's the center for countering digital hate. And they are furious that social media companies, are allowing a new form of climate change denial to spread to their platforms.

It's no longer good enough for companies like YouTube to censor people who believe in climate change. Or believe it is fake.

They've been doing that. But that's not enough. That's the old kind of denial. The center for digital hate defines the new denial as anything that claims global heating is beneficial or harmless. That global elite's climate solution may not work.

Or that so-called climate science or the climate movement can't be trusted.

Now, I'm not sure how questioning the global elites is a form of digital hate. But apparently now it is.

Because that guy at the CCDH has spoken. And the White House will partner with him.

So now, people like me, who have never denied the climate is changing.

In fact, I say, the climate has always been changing. We're considered spreaders of hateful disinformation because we think, things like reimagining farming, might kill millions of people.

You know, like it has every time, it has ever been attempted in the past.

Now, the CCDH, made sure to specifically call me or Blaze TV out as spreaders of this new denial.

Now, this isn't just pointing the finger. This is a threat. Because the CCDH then demanded that YouTube demonetize any content that spreads new denial.

But, remember, this is one of the White House's go-to experts on disinformation.

It's a good thing the White House doesn't have a track record of telling social media companies who to censor. Right?

Oh, wait. We have just learned the Twitter files, that's exactly what they have been doing for years. So let's take a step back here.

Because it's more important for you to understand, what the CCDH's demand actually means.

Stu, do I still have your attention? Because this is really complex. But I just want to make sure that people understand it.

Can you -- I don't know. Do something that would bring in, the people that don't have a real big attention span.

STU: Taylor Swift. She's in the luxury box, watching the radio today. Look at her.

GLENN: Thank you.

So here it is. They want YouTube to limit the monetization of any content that goes against the global elite's narrative. And if I in general, are against the global elite's narrative, then you wouldn't want any of my content monetized.

The truth is, it's not really cheap or easy to produce content and maintain a team to keep all of the trainings running on time.

A subscription model is the best way for us to function.

And that's something that we pioneered here at the Blaze.

I knew working at CNN, and then at Fox. We could not rely on other companies. We couldn't rely on advertisers.

We had to rely on you.

Now, we take advertisers, because it's wildly expensive to do what we do.

But in the end, we'll continue to do it, as long as you are a subscriber.

That's why I ask you, all the time. Please, subscribe to TheBlaze.

Because I know what is coming.

In fact, it's already here.

We only answer to you.

So this -- I'm going to show you some of this. So you understand what it is.

But anyone who is -- is relying on making their money, from social media, is going to be over soon.

So they want you to limit the monetization of anybody that is going against the globally elite's narratives.

It is important for a people to be able to reach new viewers through platforms like YouTube and Facebook. Otherwise, we're only speaking to the choir.

How do you offset the cost for content, when you're putting it out for free?

Well, YouTube shares the revenue, that they take to run ads in our content.

The better the video does. The more ad are sold. The more money both YouTube and let's say somebody like me, makes.

That's how it works.

But late last week, one of my producers was looking through the YouTube analytics on a podcast with the rancher Shad Sullivan. The episode is called millions will starve.

Rancher sounds the alarm on the global food Jeopardy.

It was performing extraordinarily well. In just, I think a day, it had 320,000 views.

It had amassed, a watch time of over 88,000 hours.

Okay. That, if we cared about the money, should have made tons of money for TheBlaze, or for the Glenn Beck Program.

The -- the podcast had 14 YouTube ad breaks.

So they were selling advertisers. But we weren't making any money.

So we don't know what happened to the money, there.

We were searching for a potential problem.

We found a few things. First of all, YouTube had limited ads on this video. Which can take it to, you know, every thousand people, or I don't even know the numbers.

But it -- you get a certain amount for every -- everybody who is watching all of this. And then you split it.

But if you are banned in any way, then that number goes down.

Well, YouTube had limited ads on this video.

They claimed that it had firearms-related content. That wasn't friendly to some advertisers. We double-checked. We -- we didn't talk at all, about firearms. Nothing would have triggered this restriction.

Oh. But there is a catch to this.

And we did. And we made something more powerful than mainstream media.

Now, they want mainstream media and control of the internet, and they've been doing this, with the government, as we knew from the Twitter files.

They've been doing it in league with the government. Shadow banning people.

Well, we're about to go into shadow banning hell.

I called it a digital ghetto. I got in trouble for that.

Because they say, you just hate Jewish people. By saying, no. There's such a thing as a ghetto. The Germans did it. Now you can do it digitally and shut people up, and put them behind a digital wall, that you don't want to be heard.

Well, there's a few things that are going on.

First of all, the shadow banning has now become official policy of Facebook.

And they're a private company, they can decide to do this.

But they're saying, no politics anymore.

I'll be interested to see if that applies to ABC News. I'll be interested to see if they are shadow banning everybody consistently.

If so, then we're all in the same boat.

I think it's a mistake. But we're all in the same boat. Now, there's something else that I told you about two weeks ago.

It's called the CCDH. It's the Center for Digital Hate. In America, it started over in England. And then this guy moved it over to are America. So they have an office here. And it is now the go-to NGO for the White House, on what digital hate is. And how to stop it.

It has quite an -- an incredible roster of people behind it.

It has one employee.

Hmm. That doesn't seem like they could get a lot done with one employee. But, boy, are they doing it.

Okay. So I told you, that we are doing an episode, a couple of weeks ago.

About the -- what's happening to our farmers, and our -- and our meat. We told you, that this is a real problem.

What is -- what is being done in our -- in our ranching and food industry, is going to make a lot of people very, very hungry.

It was called, let's see, I can't remember. Where is the name.

But they were talking about a couple of weeks ago. This group, talking to the White House, about banning people that deny problems with global warming. Also, anybody who is denying the elite solutions. Et cetera, et cetera.

So we have never denied climate change. But they are targeting the spreaders of, quote, hateful disinformation. And that -- we are labeled that, because we believe reimagining farming is a very bad deal.

This is what they call the new denial.

Now, they're not just pointing the finger. They're making a threat. The CCDH demanded that YouTube demonetize any content that spreads new denial.

One of the White House experts remember, on disinformation, is this little -- this one guy, in Washington. So by limiting the amount of monetization, that content can make, it goes against the global elite's narrative. They say they're all for free speech, except for hate. But that hate is now anything that disagrees with them.

It is not cheap to produce content. And I'm telling you, right now, we developed this model of subscriptions for our content.

It is why you have noticed, maybe, TheBlaze has just doubled and quadrupled down, on all of our stories and everything else.

I have two huge breaking news from Blaze investigations today.

These things take weeks to do. They take lawyers and everything else lots of research and man-hours, go into these things.

We're doubling down on that, because we need you to understand, A, we do our homework. We know what we're talking about. We are trustworthy.

B, we need you to subscribe. And we will give you the information, you need.

So this -- this rancher, millions will starve. Rancher sounds the alarm. On global food agencies. It has tons and tons of views.

And they said, it was -- it was shadow banned and demonetized, because it was said by YouTube, that it had firearms-related content.

We went back. We looked at the texts. There was nothing. However, there was a read in there, for Byrna, which makes non-lethal firearm alternatives.

That's nothing that violates YouTube ad policy.

Byrna is, in fact, a verified advertiser on YouTube.

So we reached out to YouTube, to get the limited ads rating removed.

We're waiting for a response on this.

However, what happened to the revenue, that they sold?

Because we didn't make any of it. Now, this is the way. And this is why we are bringing this to you. And to all content creators.

If you rely on YouTube, Google, Facebook.

Any of those things.

That revenue is soon going to be gone.

According to the independent, the CCDH.

The Center for Digital Hate, uses an AI tool to discover YouTube has allegedly made up to $13.4 million in revenue, on videos that espouse new types of climate crisis denial. Remember, that's just a video that disagrees with the elites.

In the response, CCDH demanded that YouTube and other social media platforms update their policies to remove the financial incentive for content, that falls under this umbrella of new denial.

If you limit the ability to monetize, you also limit the content's ability to reach a broader audience, and you also limit the new content, because people can't afford to do it.

So does my podcast, with Rancher Shad Sullivan fall under this umbrella?

Yeah. Because in that episode, Shad told us very clearly, what the global elites are doing. They're waging a war on beef, in the name of saving the climate. And their solutions will cause millions to starve.

Now, how many millions of viewers could we have received, and reached, had YouTube not attempted to put a ceiling on all of our views?

So I guess guilty as charged. I'm a super spreader of the new denial, I guess.

And I imagine, anyone who told Stalin or Mao, that they're reimagining of farming would kill millions, was also branded a denier. Or how about anybody who spoke out about Sri Lanka's reimagining. Remember that?

The World Economic Forum held that up as the model for the future. Until 2022. When their model led to a massive food crisis that is still going on.

Are all the Irish farmers who have been warning, that they will have to slaughter their cows, to meet climate goals, disinformation spreaders?

What about the people who point out, while elites want to limit your beef consumption, Mark Zuckerberg is feeding his cows macadamia nuts and beer, so not only can the elites have their beef, you have a cricket patty. Or maybe lab-grown meat.

But they get beef that has been raised on beer and macadamia nuts.

Shadow banning. This is the new shadow banning. And its outcome is the same. Wrong think.

It's punished. This isn't the free market. They will pile these ideas on, one after another. I am telling you, TheBlaze is fine right now, because we built an entirely different model.

This is the time that I built TheBlaze for. We started in 2011. When Netflix and even Amazon wasn't streaming video. We were the first to stream a network.

And it was insane to do it. And I almost went broke doing it.

But it was the right thing to do. And it's the right thing to put all of our eggs in one basket. And that is you.

But you are going to have to start searching. I've told you this in the last year. All of a sudden, you're just -- unless you're looking for it. You won't notice that you're getting less and less from people like me.

So you have to seek us out.

We would really appreciate, we hope that you understand, we're on a mission. We're not here to make money.

We're on a mission.

We're on a mission to tell you the truth. Keep you informed. And show you the mile-markers. We just went through a very frightening mile-marker, this week, on shadow banning.

If you don't know the mile-marker, you're not going to know where you are. And where you are, is heading deeper and deeper into a place where your navigation system is being fiddled with.

I urge you, if you are not a member of TheBlaze, please support us.

Join us, at BlazeTV.com.

Use the -- the promo code free speech.

And you can get $30 off, of your subscription. That includes everything Blaze media is doing now.

Not only in video content, and opinion content.

But also, there are two big stories, that I want to get to.

The -- TheBlaze has just investigated how many people actually died of COVID-19. In the Michigan long-term care facilities. That's a breaking story.

Also, Capitol Police, we've just found. And we are showing you now, footage that has never been seen before.

Capitol Police diverted all of the CCTV cameras away from the DNC pipe bomb investigation. Except one.

And we will show you that video, that has been like pulling teeth to get it. In just a few. Stand by.

Glenn & Panel DEBATE Trump’s 10 Most Controversial Cabinet Picks | Ep 397

The last five years, including the pandemic, have destroyed trust in the federal government. The election handed Trump a mandate to do something about it — to root out the corruption and waste at the heart of this distrust. Trump has not taken the safe path with his Cabinet and agency picks: Kash Patel (FBI), Tulsi Gabbard (DNI), Pete Hegseth (DOD), Pam Bondi (AG), Kristi Noem (Homeland Security), Tom Homan (border czar), RFK Jr. (HHS), Dr. Jay Bhattacharya (NIH), Linda McMahon (Education), Lori Chavez-DeRemer (Labor), and Scott Bessent (Treasury). He has mostly gone for firebrands — nominees who are already sending the establishment into a panic. Will this strategy actually work? Or is the firebrand approach doomed out of the gate? BlazeTV’s Steve Deace, Liz Wheeler, Stu Burguiere, and Jason Buttrill join Glenn along with recovering investment banker Carol Roth and FBI whistleblower Steve Friend to break down the Cabinet controversies and debate these nominees. Will the swamp establishment let them survive the nomination process?

Why Trump’s MAGA Mandate is the REVOLUTION Our Founders Hoped For

Because of things like the COVID-19 pandemic, we now know how corrupt and out of control our government has become. But the American People have given Donald Trump a mandate to tear out the cancer and correct course. This, Glenn says, is what our Founders meant when they wrote in the Declaration of Independence: “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” This is the kind of “revolution” our founders wanted us to have: not a bloody one, like communism demands, and not a destructive one like Antifa anarchists want. Instead, it’s a peaceful revolution. That is the MAGA mandate. But the Deep State won’t go down without a fight. Glenn explains the “best thing” that Trump and his Cabinet could do to win.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Okay. So earlier today, we had Congressman Brad Wenstrup on with us. He is the chairman of the select subcommittee of the coronavirus pandemic. He's a Republican from Ohio.

They've been doing Yeoman's work trying to get to the truth about what happened with COVID. You're going to be shocked, honestly. Hold your chin, because your chin and your mouth may fall so far open, when you hear this news. It could go to the floor.

It apparently came from a lab, in Wuhan.
This -- what I'm going to tell you right now is nonclassified. And because I had such a short time with Brad on the air, because we were up against this network clock, we must get to everything.

And he -- he asked to hold on. And talk to my producers, after we got off the air. And he said, tell gren, this is just the declassified stuff, that has come you out.

He said, the classified stuff and it's going to come out, he said, is jaw-dropping.

He said, it is so far out of control, our government and big farm.

And gosh, wouldn't it be ashame, to have somebody like Robert F. Kennedy, say I think this should be declassified. I talked to the president yesterday about RFK.

And he's like, he said to me, Glenn. There is a problem with something.

I don't know what it is. He thinks it's food and pharmaceuticals. But just with autism. The numbers are staggering. It is out of control.

And he's convinced, and so I told him, give me the science. Show me!

Prove it, and let's fix it, if that's what it is. And he's also very clear about transparency.

And I think if Robert F. Kennedy comes out and says, you know what, the coronavirus pandemic thing really needs to be declassified.

I think Donald Trump is going to declassify it, and it is going to be expose everybody. Everybody is involved in this. The intelligence community, the Justice Department.

The cover-up alone from the NIH, and Fauci's office. We know now that they were shredding and deleting information and emails.

They were intentionally, and even during the subcommittee, in the last, you know, year or so, while this was going on, the -- the Democrats were still trying to block getting any information on this.

The senior adviser for Fauci, unlawfully deleted federal COVID-19 records. Okay?

You don't do that. He then shared nonpublic information, about NIH grant processes with EcoHealth Alliance.

This is everything we said, we were -- I think the first ones to come out with a special, and a giant chalkboard to show you exactly what happened.

We were -- we were almost dropped entirely from YouTube, because of it.

And then Steve Deace. And gosh. What's his name.

I feel horrible. That wrote the book about, you know, how we're turning into Nazis.

STU: Daniel Horowitz.

GLENN: Yeah. Daniel Horowitz.

Then they came out with the book. And almost all of this stuff now is being proven.

And that's just the declassified stuff. This is -- we have a real problem. Our government is completely out of control.

And I am -- I just want to remind you, the Declaration of Independence says, hey, Dear King George, we really feel bad.

You know, we tried to talk to you about some things. And we really have to break away. But we apologize, that we're wanting to do that. But we feel we have to tell you why.

This revolution that we started, is unlike any other revolutionary document ever produced in the history of the world.

Read BLM's revolutionary documents. We're going to end this. We're going to destroy the traditional family.

We're going to do this, and this and this. Ours started with, hey, we have a respect for God and mankind, and we think we need to tell you why.

And then it doesn't go into, because you suck. It goes into, because we see things completely different.

We hold things that we don't believe to be self-evident. That all men are created equal. Yada, yada.

And then it goes into, and governments are instituted among men, to protect those rights. And paraphrasing, whenever a government begins to injure those rights, or harm those rights, it is the right and the duty of the public, to overthrow that government. And replace it with a government, more likely to protect those rights.

That's what happened, gang. We -- just went through that paragraph of the Declaration of Independence.

What this mandate was, is we are overthrowing, this out of control government, that is inflicting damage on our rights.

And we're replacing it with a bunch of outsiders, hopefully. That will be better equipped to protect our rights.

Okay?

So we did this, the right way. This is fantastic news.

Our Founders saw the solution, and we actually did it.

Now we just have to make sure. Because these guys are going to fight with it -- there is so much money involved.

I mean, you want to -- just think of all the wars that are breaking out right now.

All of the wars.

You have South Korea.

You have North Korea. China. Violating South Korea.

You have China, with their drones. I don't know if you've seen the video of their drone armies.

Oh, my. Our aircraft carriers are over.

Mark my words. The next global war. The next serious war. Aircraft carriers are going to be the horse of World War I.

It's over!

They're going to take Taiwan. Possibly if Trump comes in. There's a chance of that stopping.

Or when Trump gets in.

But what are we doing?

We're depleting everything we have.

We built, rebuilt our armed forces under Trump.

Now, we don't have enough to fight a two-front war. We just don't have enough. We don't have it.

We've given it away. Why? Because the military industrial complex, says, you know what, we can -- why don't you give your stuff away.

We'll make more for you. You know the money that is involved?

This is -- think of Jason borne. Those movies where people are killed, because of small things like, you know, a billion dollars. Or power.

That is happening in almost every industry. And every big business around the world.

Pharmaceuticals.

Health care. Intelligence. The military industrial complex.

The education complex.

Everything!

When -- when these things are exposed, people are going to be in danger on both sides.

You're going to just start seeing people, oh, accidentally falling out of a window.

I'm convinced of it. Because it is so corrupt.

But the good news is, we are on it. And the best thing that can happen, is to release all of these documents.

And this is the one thing I do like about RFK.

RFK doesn't trust the government. The -- he does not trust the intelligence agencies. He doesn't trust the government, because he's seen two murders and assassinations in his own family.

He knows what Deep State can do. And I am absolutely convinced.

I was never convinced of this before. I am absolutely convinced, Oswald killed him.

But that was an operation. I'm absolutely convinced, that was an operation.

He was going to cut all of the endless wars that they were preparing for. Donald Trump is in that same situation.

The good news is, Donald Trump is not alone.

John F. Kennedy was kind of alone. Had his brother.

But kind of alone. But remember what -- remember what Hoover did.

That's why Kash Patel is so critical. In the FBI.

Kash Patel is -- they are -- they are pooping their pants, I mean, all day long.

I don't know how many changes of underwear they have to bring to the -- to Congress and the Senate. And to the FBI building every day.

But they've got to be changing their underpants a lot. Because that guy is serious.

I talked to his wife last night. And she said, Kash wanted to come up and make sure that I said hello. And I said, you make sure you tell him, I am 100 percent behind him.

Because we talked on -- on TV. Months ago, and he talked about, I wouldn't have released the JFK papers. He said, I can't explain why, but I saw them. I think that was a right decision.

But everything else, it just -- it needs to be declassified. Everything needs to be declassified.

This is -- this is too secretive.

So there is no accountability.

That guy is going to go in. And he is going to take things like this. And people are going to go to jail.

This is the kind of revolution, that our Founders wanted.

It is a peaceful revolution.

But they're not stopping their fight.

We are -- we are in for -- and I -- I hate to keep harping on this. But this is why I am so concerned about global war.

Because this isn't just an American problem. This is happening everywhere.

This is everyone. Every country. Every western country has this going on.

Look at Canada. Look at Trudeau. What do you think is hiding in the closet of Trudeau?

What do you think is hiding in the closets of the Labor Party, and even the Conservative Party over in England, or France, or Germany? That -- that doesn't have the kind of constitutional oversight like we have.

These secrets are everywhere. And they're connected. We have our work cut out for us.

But I just -- I have to tell you, I feel this from everything -- every part of my being. It is going to be very, very tough.

But God is with us. And Donald Trump is serious.

And he is looking for -- I don't get the feeling he is married to any one person. That he's appointing.

He is married to the mission!

And the mission is, get it done, get it done completely, and get it done fast! Before they can even react to cut our heads off.

Cut the heads of this snake.

And he's serious about it.

Inside Glenn Beck’s PRIVATE conversation with Donald Trump

Glenn recently traveled to Mar-a-Lago to attend a PragerU event, but got a chance to talk with President-elect Donald Trump as well. Glenn discusses everything he can about the shocking conversation they had, which covered a wide range of topics: What’s happening to South Korea? What’s really going on with the Russia/Ukraine war? Do Biden and the Democrats want that war? How much of a threat is Iran? Why is Trump worried about ‘nuclear proliferation’? Glenn also explains what made this meeting very different than the others he has had with presidents and why he now believes it was a blessing that Trump lost in 2020: He’s a changed man now and he’s coming back with laser focus to change everything FAST.

GLENN: So I don't know where to even begin with -- I just had the most amazing, surreal experience at Mar-a-Lago, last night. Just surreal.

I was there to help raise money for Prager University. And Dennis Prager, who, by the way, let me give you an update on him.

He was severely injured. He fell in the shower. Hit his head, and it snapped his neck back.

And he has injuries to his neck.

And he is making progress. And only Dennis would be as positive. I mean, somehow or another, he's still like, huh? I'm doing great.

And it's going to be a long process to get him back. But he had been -- he wasn't able to breathe on his own. But that is over. And he spoke for the first time, here the last couple of days. And he's fully there. His body just isn't working. But he has a long road.

But he is -- he is doing better.

And believe me, he appreciates and can feel your prayers. He obviously wasn't there last night.

But he still is in the hospital.

So we were there, raising money for Prager U. Who they're just doing amazing things.

If you want to give for education, what they're doing now, on education, and Prager U. And the impact that they're having, is incredible.

Just incredible.

Dennis Prager. You know, Rush Limbaugh, when my generation, and maybe the generation, you know, after me, when we would go, people will remember Rush Limbaugh, if they read about the history of, you know, people who made some impact.

But even Rush Limbaugh, for his important and his legendary and as game-changing as he was, will eventually be forgotten.

I don't think Dennis Prager will because of Prager University. That thing is making a huge impact. And well worth your support, and it would I think make Dennis feel a lot better, knowing that they raised a lot of money last night.

And they really need your help. They have huge plans. Just go to DennisPrager.org -- it's PragerUniversity.org. And if you have some money that you would like to invest in the future, that's a great place to invest.

So I get to Mar-a-Lago. And I have a few minutes with the president. And I ask him, what the hell is going on with South Korea, North Korea, China, Syria, Ukraine, Russia?

He is laser focused on this. And, again, he reiterated to me, the nuclear proliferation that is coming, is going to be our biggest problem.

He said, we had Iran, absolutely crippled.

He said, I hope we can get them there quickly. He said, but nukes are up for sale now.

North Korea has them. And he said, I don't have any -- you know, evidence that they've sold them. But they are up for sale. And he said proliferation of nukes are coming.

And Russia is still the biggest threat. I asked him -- I just want to be really careful. Because it wasn't. It was just a personal conversation.

But I asked him about the next 40-some takes. I said, I'm very concerned that Biden or whoever is the president of the United States right now, the military industrial complex. Barack Obama. I don't know who it is.

Wants war. And he didn't get into who was the president or anything else. He just said, this man is so incompetent. He said, he has absolutely no idea the history of even Ukraine, let alone Russia.

He said, this -- this -- this should never have happened.

And he said, it is a meat grinder.

He said, when this is all over, and the world can see what's happened, he said, North Korea -- I asked him about the North Korean fighters.

I said, you know, are they good?

He said, Glenn, it's a country of 5 million soldiers. He's like, it's a religion over there.

Their state is the religion. Their supreme leader, Kim Jong-un, is like their God. If he says, you're going to war and you are going to fight and tie, he says, 5 million. And they'll just keep coming.

And he said, it -- the way he described it to me, it almost sounds like colonial days when everyone was just in a line. You know, and, you know, okay. We want to be fair.

We will wear the red coat so you can see where to aim. We are just going to stand in a big line.

I got the impression that that's almost how North Korea.

They have so many people, that wave after wave is coming. And he said, there's no respect for life. None.

He said, it's unlike anything modern. The modern world has seen in a long time.

He said, I don't remember exactly how he said it. But basically, they don't even have tourniquets.

He said, if the guys are shot in the legs, they bleed to death. And people are just walking over them.

He said, you're wounded, you die.

There's no medics coming for you.

You just die because they got plenty of soldiers behind you. And he said, it is bloodshed like the world cannot imagine.

And I asked him, I said, I -- I think everybody wants peace.

And he said, hmm. I think so too.

And he kind of hedged his -- at least this is my impression, that he kind of -- my impression is, we're going to pay a very, very high price.

With Putin. Because we have violated every single red line, with Vladimir Putin.

Everything he said, don't do, we have done.

And I personally think -- this is my opinion. I didn't express this to the president.

But I personally think, one, they want war.

I don't know who they is.

The military-industrial complex. The Biden family to wipe out the corruption.

Ukraine is nothing, but a money-laundering system. That's all it is.

It's money being laundered. I don't know where it's going. Why isn't anyone concerned on how much money we're sending over? All these weapons.

They're being sold on the black market to our enemies.

What the hell is happening? Why is this happening?

And so my personal opinion is, either they're trying to wipe out -- remember, the Hunter Biden thing is for ten years.

For crimes that he's never even been accused of.

Statute of limitations runs out in five years, on most things.

Except for like murder, human trafficking.

Treason.

Things like that.

But he's been -- never before in American history, has this ever happened.

Never before. A blanket pardon for anything he did, from 2014.

Gee. When did he go over to Ukraine? 2014.

And so I don't know if they're just trying to buy their way out of trouble. They want a war to destroy all of any evidence, or anybody involved.

I don't know.

But somebody wants war. And it might just be the military-industrial complex, just saying, you know, we really need to upgrade our military. So let's just give them all this old stuff. And we'll make new stuff for you, America.

It could be that.

It could be the State Department. The State Department. And I won't give you his response.

But I said, you realize, you have the opportunity, because we did talk about how this endless wars are just insane.

And I said, it's the State Department. It's the -- and you can -- you can stop that nonsense.

You can just fire them all.

And get people in here, who don't think the same way Woodrow Wilson did over 100 years ago.

He's very well aware of that.

And things are going to change. I was -- everything we talked about, he was laser focused.

I mean, you know, I've met with presidents before.

I met with Ronald Reagan

I met with George H.W. Bush. I met with George W. Bush. And I met with Donald Trump.

I have more confidence in Donald Trump now, than any other president I've met with. The guy is super, super informed.

It is a blessing, honestly.

It is a miracle, that he lost in 2020. And I say that, you listen to this show. You remember what I was saying. We're all doomed. We're all going to die. Okay?

The country is over if we don't correct this in four years. We would not have had this president, the man he is today, if it wasn't for his loss in 2020.

He had four years to go, okay. What did I do wrong? How did they get me?

How did they thwart me? How do I stop it? And how do I reverse this machine, while dismantling this machine? He is laser focused on that.

And if he said it once to me, he said it a thousand times. Glenn, it's going to be breathtaking. It's coming. Change is coming.

And it is coming fast. They are not going to know how to deal with it.

I'm filled with confidence, and, again, I say this with the caveat, that, you know, the left will never say.

But I say this with the caveat that I would say on any president. As long as he's constitutional. As long as he's following the Constitution and the laws, he -- he is going to be remembered as one of the greatest presidents of all time.

Because he's at least going to give it a college try. I mean, he's -- he's going for it.

We talked about his appointments. And what he had planned. There's some things that -- well, recommend take a one-minute break.

GLENN: So when we're looking at the world stage, everything that's happening is happening because America vacated the leadership role. I hope Americans realize, without the consequences, at least so far, how close we are to seeing what happens to the world, if America leaves the world stage.

And I don't want to be the world's policeman. I don't want to be involved in foreign wars.

The president doesn't want to be involved in foreign wars. He wants to end them. He wants us to concentrate on us.

But somebody has to be there, to say, knock it off!

And he's the guy -- he's already doing that. It's conversations of some conversations he has recently. And the world is being put on notice.

I'm back, very soon. You might want to change your behavior. Because everything you have been doing, is not going to happen anymore.

And I wish I could express the things that he expressed to me. Because he would be so excited.

He would like, oh, my gosh. This is fantastic.

STU: Isn't this sort of hopeful about the whole Russia, nuclear war stuff too.

Why would Vladimir Putin with eight weeks left, start what winds up being a nuclear war, when he's got somebody who is going to be a lot more sane in office, just a few weeks away.

GLENN: So because this is my impression.

Because he's being backed into a corner by Joe Biden. Every red line. He does not want to do it. But he's getting pressure from the hard-liners, in his country.

STU: Right.

GLENN: To use just even tactical nukes. Which we don't know what that would cause.

STU: Yep.

GLENN: And what our response would be -- if he drops a tactical nuke, Joe Biden will launch. He will. He will. He will.

STU: Put that's a massive step. Tactical nuke. That will be a massive thing. Why would he do that, knowing that this whole situation changes?

GLENN: Again, things are so dynamic.

Look at what's happening.

I wish I could get the president on the phone, to just have the conversation, he explained it so well.

STU: Sure.

GLENN: Look what's happening with Turkey. With Syria. With Iran.

Ukraine, Russia, North Korea, China. And South Korea.

They're not disconnected. Okay? They're all connected.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: To each other. And he is -- he is confident that the Middle East will be solved. He's like, we'll get the Abrahamic Accords back.

They've dealt with me before, in the Middle East.

They know.

He said, everything else around the world is so on the edge. He was really pissed.

He was like, none of this -- I just would like to remind you, none of this was happening four years ago.

STU: Yep.

GLENN: He said, this is all because of incompetence, stupidity, and a complete misunderstanding of how the world works.

And he -- he, again, reiterated, nuclear war is -- I mean, every time I see him. And he must have said it three times last night. Nuclear war is real.

And it is endgame changing. And he said, at all costs, we have to avoid that.

GLENN: Brittany Patterson is on with us now.

And also her attorney. Want to make sure that she doesn't say anything that would cost her in court.

David Delugas is with the Parents USA.

He's an executive director, and general counsel. Brittany, tell this audience your story.

What happened to you?

BRITTANY: So basically I have two kids that homeschool. And two kids that go to public school.

And any time I leave the house to run errands, or take somebody to the appointment.

The homeschool kids always get the choice to stay or go.

So on this particular day, I had to take my older son, to an appointment.

And so I had to pick him up at school, and take him.

And I thought that both my homeschool kids were going to come.

But when I went back to holler for them. They didn't answer.

I waited for a minute.

Hollered again. Didn't answer. So I figured, he didn't want to come.

And he was somewhere out on the property.

Or somewhere in the House, where he couldn't hear me. Or something like that.

So, I mean, went ahead and left. And went and picked up my son.

Took him to the doctor. And while we were at the doctor, I got a call from a sheriff's deputy, saying that she had found Soren, less than a mile from our house. In a little tiny town of middle bluff.

GLENN: What's the population of that town?

BRITTANY: So I don't know exactly. But it's like 350, I think, 370 something like that.

GLENN: 370 people?

BRITTANY: Yes.

GLENN: Okay. All right. So huge metropolis.

BRITTANY: There's a four-way stop sign. That's all there is.

GLENN: Okay. Okay.

BRITTANY: So, anyway, she started asking me questions. If I knew he was there.

Of course, I said no. Because I didn't.

And, you know, she seemed very concerned that something terrible was going to happen to him.

I was not concerned.

So basically, she ended up putting her in her car. And bringing him back to my house.

And my dad just for some background. My dad lives in our basement apartment.

And he's pretty much here all the time.

Because he has a physical disability. So he can't drive.

GLENN: Okay.

BRITTANY: So there's basically always an adult in my house with my kids. Not that there needs to be. But there always is.

GLENN: Okay. And, I mean, want to make sure. Your kids are 11, 12, 14, and 16.

And at the time, Soren, the child that was out walking. Was ten. Correct?

BRITTANY: Correct. He was a few days from turning 11. But he was still ten.

So they brought him home, and dropped him back off at home.

With my dad down stairs. Which is exactly the same way that I left him.

And they left. And so he was here. You know, without me. Or without the police.

Exactly the way I left him, for about 20 minutes, before I -- and so, you know, of course, I had a talk with him. Because I do tell all my kids. You know, if you want to go somewhere.

Send me a text. Call me.

Let me know where you will go. So that way, I can kind of keep tabs on you.

And he obviously didn't do that. So I gave him a little talking to about that.

And then we just kind of went about our day.

And about five minutes later, around 6:30, is when they showed up to arrest me.

GLENN: Okay. I just -- hang on. I just want to bring people up to speed here.

So you know who you're listening to. She was a kindergarten teacher.

She has a master's degree in education leadership. And curriculum obstruction.

Professional teaching license in Atlanta and Georgia. Her husband, Josh. Been in an organization of 17 years.

At all levels. Has been the superintendent of schools, for seven years.

He has a doctorate degree in educational leadership. She left education to go into real estate, because the demands of the kids' competitive sports wasn't working with her teaching schedule.

And that's who you're dealing with. So you're not dealing with people who just -- who don't know what they're doing with children.

You know, they're teachers. They have a doctorate. They know so much more.

This is -- these are professional people.

That have spent their lifetime teaching children, and being around children.

So when they came to your door, in this town of, how many people again?

Thee hundred --

PETER: About 370.

GLENN: About 370 people.

So, you know, one of them leaving the other 369 at home in their beds. What did they say to you?

BRITTANY: They didn't really say anything, other than they asked me to step outside, and put my hands behind my back. So at that point, I asked why. And the female officer said, because you're under arrest. And so, again, I asked, what am I under arrest for?

And for the second time, I didn't get a straight answer.

She said for the incident we spoke about earlier. So then I asked again, so what am I under arrest for? And she said, child -- or reckless endangerment. Which my attorney has told me is not even a thing that exists in Georgia. It could have just been her misspeaking.

But the point is -- and at that point I was going to ask, you know, what -- what was reckless?

What led to this?

I was going to ask for a warrant, that they basically forced me to turn around. Put my hands behind my back.

And they weren't going to answer anymore with any more questions.

GLENN: That sounds like the Soviet Union. Yes, go ahead. David.

DAVID: Yeah. And Brit knows from the body cam. What we heard is Brit said, last time I checked, it wasn't illegal for a kid to walk to the store.

And remarkably, the deputy immediately says, it is when they're ten!

And I -- I assure everybody, it's not illegal for a 10-year-old to be out and about walking. Not in the state of Georgia, it's not. For a deputy to say, it is illegal when they're ten.

GLENN: I grew up in a different time. So make no mistake.

I'm 60.

I think at about six, I went to the store, for a pack of graduates, for my dad.

I mean, at ten. At ten, you could have bought a gun and bullets!

But now, you know, God forbid, in a town where, many my town of 450 people.

Kids can drive trucks, down the road, because it's a farming community.

Stop treating children, like they're morons. Anyway, go ahead.

BRITTANY: Yeah. Well, the point I was going to make is that when I went to jail, I still didn't understand even though I had asked multiple times. I didn't know really what I was being arrested for.

I didn't find that out, until I got to jail, had already been stripped down and changed and fingerprinted.

And body cammed. And all that stuff.

And then they hand me the arrest warrant.

So at that point, I was ready to read it, and understand what -- what they thought was the justification for arresting me.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

Could I just ask, what is this sheriff's name?

The sheriff. Not the deputy. The sheriff of your county.

BRITTANY: So the sheriff of Fannin County is Dane Kirby. And he's been the sheriff for quite some time. I don't know exactly how many years, but several terms.

GLENN: Probably time for him to go away. When is he up for reelection? Do you know?

BRITTANY: I think --

DAVID: Yeah, it's not necessarily -- matters.

I mean, you know, the people in the county can likely become informed, and decide what they will do. But we don't take a stance about his election, or his culpability.

GLENN: Oh, no. No, no, no.

I'm not suggesting you do.

I am. I am -- I am an advocate of sheriffs that follow the Constitution, sheriffs are there. To protect the people of their county.

From out of control government entities.

If they become out of control, the people have the right and the duty to remove them!

So if you happen to live in this county, and your sheriff is Dana Kirby.

I don't know what you're doing.

But I would be out -- I would be -- I would be -- there's only 300, what?

70-some doors to knock on.

I would be knocking on every single one.

Including his. And saying, we need to get this sheriff recalled.

But, anyway, I digress.

DAVID: It's a bigger county than 370. But I get your point. It's an extraordinarily valuable point.

Let me throw this in, while we're talking about following the Constitution. Really, really significant, the statute Brent was charged with violating, is actually called reckless conduct. And, hey, in 1997, the Georgia Supreme Court held that statute unconstitutional because it's too vague and gives law enforcement too much power. So how about that? 1997. You would think in what's -- 27 years? Law enforcement in Fannin County would figure out that that statute doesn't apply.

GLENN: What's the name of this county again in Georgia?
DAVID: Fannin. F-A-N-N-I-N.

GLENN: F-A-N-N-I-N?
BRITTANY: Yes.
GLENN: Fannin County in Georgia.

Okay.

So what's next for you?

BRITTANY: Well, right now, we're just kind of in limbo. There's not been any real communication from the county. There's been no offers put on the table, or anything like that.

So really, kind of it's up to them, you know, what happens next.

They have multiple options that they could, you know, decide on. But in the meantime, you know, David and I have just been kind of raising awareness. Because before this happens to me.

I was living in the dark. I had no idea that this was even possible to happen to anybody. Review and since I kind of went public, and, you know, I've just been getting comments.

I've even gotten some cards in the mail and emails, and stuff like that.

From people all over the country, who some of them have found themselves in a similar situation, you know, at some point.

And so it kind of opened my eyes they can't be this is something that does happen.

That I think just a lot of us parents didn't even realize it was a possibility that was happening.

And so I'm just trying to bring that to light. That, you know, we do still have to kind of fight for our parental rights. And make sure that those are something that we get to hold on to.

Because I found that no matter which side of the aisle, people are on. Whether they want to be overprotective. Or let their kids be wild and free.

Both sides don't really want the government involved.

They want to be able to make those decisions as parents. And so it's just been interesting to see. Even though we might have philosophical differences on how to approach parenting. That we can still agree on that same thing.

GLENN: I mean, if you're sending your kid out to go to the store, to pick up some extra ingredients, so you can cook crack in the basement. That might be a problem.

But letting your kid go for a walk, to the store is absolutely normal. The country is out of control, when it comes to everybody and everything is a danger.

It's not. We're creating a society, where kids are -- are still kids, when they're 30 years old. And they don't know what to do.

Give your kids credit.

DAVID: You're on point there.

Absolutely. Let me throw a plug in for an organization called letgrow.org.

And they published statistics and advocate for parents providing more responsibility and freedom for their children, because it's better for kids.

And one of the things they at that they do is dispel this notion, that kids are going to be kidnapped and snatched off the side of the roads. So you should never let your kids be alone.

CDC, to the extent that anybody protects the CDC. But the CDC far and away, the most danger that a child is in, is when they're in an automobile.

So what did this deputy do?

Put them in a car, and driving him, during which could have been an arrest.

And even maybe, more -- more dangerous. Could have been one of those calls. Shots fired.

Officer down. This deputy would have been wheeled right to the scene. And taken this kid right into an active shooter.

Don't put kids in the back of a car, because you will give them a ride home. Leave them alone!
