Well, hello, Stu. Welcome to the program. We're glad you're here. Glenn, a mostly peaceful good morning to you. A mostly peaceful good morning to you, too. That is great. I feel somewhat insecure now, but it was mostly peaceful, your greeting. I also want to say hi to Jason Buttrell, who is up at the ranch this week, because we've been working on some stuff, including the...
everything that is going on in Los Angeles, what's coming on Saturday. Wait, I mean, just wait. I mean...
I think we had kind of the closest we'll get to a declaration of war from Gavin Newsom yesterday. I want you to play the Gavin Newsom, what he looked into the camera and had the balls to say yesterday. Listen to this. He's declared a war, a war on culture, on history, on science, on knowledge itself. Databases quite literally are vanishing. He's delegitimizing news organizations and he's assaulting the First Amendment.
Stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop. Is he talking about George Soros? Is he talking about the professors in our universities? Is he talking about the entire Democratic Party? No, he's just talking about Donald Trump. It is remarkable to me how he says this is an attack on science, on truth.
on our history, how he's delegitimizing that. I mean, are you kidding me? But wait, there's more. At threat, he's dictating what universities themselves can teach. He's targeting- Stop! Stop! Stop! Donald Trump is now dictating what universities can teach.
Well, yeah, because you got rid of all questioning of everything. I mean, I don't have a problem. You want to teach that there's 800 different, you know, uh, uh,
sexuality or whatever, you know, genders. You want to teach that? Fine. But don't tell me that's all I can teach. Don't tell me that I have to sit there and take it. No. You know, please, Gavin. But I digress. This isn't even the part I wanted you to hear. Go ahead. More.
The judicial branch that are the foundations of an orderly and civil society. He's going after the judicial branch. He's calling for a sitting governor to be arrested for no other reason than to— I mean, okay, can we stop? Stop. I'm sorry, I can't— We're never going to get to the important part, but go ahead. It's impossible to let that slide. They just spent four years trying to put the person he's talking about in prison.
And they're just shocked that any political figure would consider putting one of his political opponents in jail. They're considering arresting me. Yes, the governor of a state, not the guy who's actually currently president of the United States. I mean, it's absolutely, it's as if. It's bonkers. Yeah, it's bonkers. It's as if they believe we're,
We forget every day the next day. Like we're in an Adam Sandler movie or something. That's not how this works. Let me just say this to you. To all of the Democrats who are currently scheming and planning all these things and writing these speeches...
The American public is not Dory. Yes. We're not Dory. We remember what you did yesterday and what you did just a few minutes ago. We remember those things. By the way, he goes on to say, and they want to put me, just because I was elected. Okay. All right. Let's move on. What else? For getting elected.
And we all know this Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday. Just as other... Stop! What? Stop!
Oh my, I can't take it. Okay, so there's a military parade in Washington, D.C. Donald Trump has always loved these military parades. He's never done a military parade. You know why he's doing it this year? Because it's the military of the United States government. It is the 250th birthday. He's not putting it on for his birthday. It just happens to fall on the same day as his birthday. He's putting the military parade on
to celebrate the 250th birthday of the military. I mean, how stupid do you have to be? Well, you have to be dumb enough to live in California to believe this guy. I mean, but anyway, I digress. That wasn't even the point either.
He's getting to the point. Listen. Failed dictators have done in the past. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived.
That's it. That's the line I want you to hear. The moment democracy is under attack, the moment we have feared has arrived. So everything that they have been building up, that Donald Trump is a dictator, that Donald Trump is going to take over, that Donald Trump is going to take away everybody's rights, that Donald Trump is going to use the military to put people and have them disappeared in the streets, that he's a failed dictator, all of this stuff,
Everything they've been planting, he's just announced, has arrived. Now, if that moment has arrived, what are you supposed to do about it? This is the biggest problem with my job because I'm telling you, this moment has arrived.
So what am I telling you to do? To educate yourself on the Constitution, on civics. Know what you're supposed to do. Read. Double your effort on trying to find the truth. Don't believe everything you see on TV or on the internet, either from the left or the right. Do your own homework. I'm trying to make you independent. Make sure that you are not dependent on any system, that you're dependent on yourself.
and you're ready to serve others. What are they saying? Well, we know Hamas yesterday came out and said, it's time there is no red line for any Muslim in America. It's time to assassinate all those who like Israel, help Israel, will stand with Israel. Anybody who, you know, kill anybody in the family of Donald Trump, anybody in the family of
of our vice president to kill anyone in his cabinet and their family, anyone in Congress and their family, and there is no red line. Well, so we know that. Of course, I haven't heard Gavin Newsom. I mean, they're all in bed with all of these people. I mean, this is an Islamist, communist movement. They're in bed with them. Have you heard anybody come out and denounce that? Nope. What are they saying? Get to the streets?
Because they may not be saying that to you, but they are saying it behind closed doors. And we're going to show you tonight on TV my Wednesday night special. Jason and I have been working on this all week to try to get enough of this ready for you to show you all the connections. This is very well orchestrated.
We can show you who is funding it. We can show you where it's coming from, who's running it. It is disappointing to me that we don't have the administration working as loudly as they should be. I know that, I think it was Kash Patel came out and said they are going after the funders. But this is the only message that we should be giving people.
is don't believe any of this. This is not grassroots. This isn't just spontaneous. This has been planned for a very long time. This is part of the color revolution.
And in case you don't know, the color revolution is something that we have planted as a CIA. We do color revolutions all over the world. We topple governments all over the world. We've done it forever. And it's a very specific plan. It's called color revolution. We know how it's done. And I've been telling you for the last four years, five years, that a color revolution is happening to us.
And I showed you all of the evidence. I showed you the names of the people. I showed you how they were connected. I showed you USAID. I showed you everything before anybody was talking about it and showed you that this is a color revolution and it is coming here to America. Now, thank God, there are many people online now that have...
just as good information that I have, and they are starting to find it themselves and show it themselves, some of them with personal experience in some of these agencies, and those are the voices that you need to listen to, the ones who are telling you and showing you with facts, not just little speeches, but showing you with facts exactly what's going on. Now,
Who do you not listen to? Well, you don't listen to people like Nancy Pelosi. Remember, we have Nancy Pelosi on tape, filmed by her own daughter on January 6th, saying, this is my fault. I should have allowed the National Guard in. They warned us. The president we know as a fact
multiple times many days in advance and said, look, January 6th is going to be a tough day. I have the National Guard standing by. Just do you want it? And Nancy Pelosi in her office said no over and over and over again. So what does she say? When was this? What's the date today? Is today the 11th? Yes, she just said this. She just said this yesterday. Listen to this. In a bipartisan way, on January 6th,
With violence against the Constitution, against the Congress, and against the United States Capitol, we beg the President of the United States to send in the National Guard. Stop. Not true in any way, shape, or form. This is not a half-truth. This is a bald-faced lie.
Not true in any way, shape, or form. She did not beg on January 6th. Instead, the White House was begging them. They are ready. They're waiting. They can be there. No, no, no. Days before and on January 6th. Go ahead. He would not do it. Not true. Not only would he not do it. When law enforcement people were being harmed, some later died.
He would not send him from unrelated injuries when his an instigation that he is an insurrection that he incited was causing damage to those who protect the Capitol. Why wouldn't they charge if he incited an insurrection? He clearly cannot be president of the United States. If you had that evidence, why didn't you charge him with that? Because you have no evidence because that is not true.
You have to then present to a court, okay, this is what he said about the National Guard. He was trying to send the National Guard. His people were calling during the insurrection saying, please, do you want the National Guard? And nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Okay, so that's why you don't charge him with insurrection because it's not true. But they can say anything.
They can say anything. And the media laps it up. Good thing is, media is not that important. By the way, I have an announcement coming up in just a little while, at the top of the second hour, in just a few minutes, on the media and where they are. And gosh darn it, it couldn't have happened to a nicer group of people. But as they are lying to you and feeding you the Gavin Newsom thing,
Feeding you now yesterday the Nancy Pelosi thing where she says, and now, just like any dictator, California doesn't need it. And he's sending in the National Guard. It's fascinating how these people just think they can get away. We're not Dory. Again, we're not Dory. I remember. Okay.
It's not a coincidence. I think it's 225 or 255 times in the Bible the Lord uses the word remember. Whenever he says something once or twice, you should pay attention to it. When he says it 225 times, remember, it's probably important. That is our biggest problem. We don't remember.
That is the biggest thing you can do. You want to stop all this chaos? You want to stop this nonsense?
Remember, remember, it's the 250th anniversary of the military on Saturday. Remember that it also happens to be Donald Trump's birthday. So when they say he's doing it on his birthday, they're not lying, but they are leaving out the truth that it is the 250th birthday. So this is a celebration, a 250th anniversary anniversary.
What is coming up next year? Our 250th year anniversary. Anybody remember the bicentennial 1976? It was everywhere. Everything we did for a year was to celebrate the 200th anniversary. This is now the 250th anniversary. And so this is a 250th anniversary parade. You have to be informed.
With the facts, you have to remember it and you have to hold people responsible for it. Back in just a second. Stand by. First, let me tell you about the Berna launcher. This happens to me all the time. My wife goes out and she's at night and I think, is she going to stop and get gas? Don't stop and get gas. Don't.
I just, I worry all the time, but I know that, you know, my wife walking to the car parking lot, even in the daylight shopping bag in hand, just a regular day. Nothing seems off until a guy she's never seen before steps out from behind a truck.
Well, he didn't pull a gun. He didn't have to. His look in his eyes would say enough. But my wife, being my wife, she didn't panic. She just reaches in her purse and she pulls out her Burna compact launcher. Ames, one shot, peppered projectile or maybe tear gas. Non-lethal, but it hits him hard. He can't see. He can't breathe. And he runs away like a little girl. Oh, isn't that sad?
She's never had to fire a gun before in her life in anger to protect herself, and she didn't need a bullet to stay safe. She had options. The Burna Launcher. Burna is there for you because being able to protect yourself should never be a thing that's out of your reach. Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com. They are all legal in all 50 states. You don't need any permits. They ship it directly to your house. As long as you're over 18, you have a right to use it and carry it. Self-defense. Self-defense.

A Capitol Police Chief. Um...
Fact from the Chief of Police Capitol. I made 11 urgent calls requesting National Guard support on January 6th starting at 12.58 p.m. Approval was withheld for 71 minutes by the Sergeant at Arms who reported directly to Speaker Pelosi. So the Sergeant at Arms couldn't get this urgent message for 71 minutes.
She then caused critical delays and is now shifting blame to the real Donald Trump failures she helped create. But good news, the record is clear. That's from the chief of police from D.C. Now, what else are they trying to change? Well, yesterday on Capitol Hill, Pete Hegseth was giving testimonies and Minnesota Representative Benny McCollum tried to give Pete Hegseth a history lesson on riots.
And she said, Governor Walz made a decision to call up Minnesota National Guard in 2020. At no point did we need the citizens of Minnesota to request that the Marines be deployed. Our state and local law enforcement, along with our National Guard, who had worked on crowd control, they were more than enough. They were more than capable of handling this situation. History has proven that law enforcement and the National Guard are more than capable of handling situations more volatile than what happened this weekend.
So she's saying, you know, that we didn't have to do that in Minnesota. And Pete Hegsath, God bless him, says, well...
Thank you for that history lesson. You're right. We are both originally from Minnesota, and that's why I recall 2020 quite well when Governor Walz abandoned the police precinct and allowed it to be burned to the ground. He also allowed five days of chaos to occur inside the streets of Minneapolis. The police precinct, ma'am, was abandoned and burned to the ground. And because of that, he then had the National Guard far too late mobilized.
President Trump recognizes you shouldn't let a city burn for five days. That's what's happening. Thank God Pete Hegseth is there. By the way, an alumni of the Blaze. This is Glenn Beck.
So amazing to think about how many guys came out of the blaze, how many people that are now serving big roles. Pete is one of them. Let me tell you about Rough Greens. Dogs are loyal. They follow you anywhere. But when it comes to their health, most of us aren't leading them. We're just feeding them whatever comes in a bag. Now, think about that. If you ate nothing but dry cereal every day, how long would you feel healthy? Would you do that to your kids?
That's what most dog food is. It's dead. It's shelf stable. It's mass produced filler. It's missing the real stuff, the vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes, all of the things that keep your dog's body working like it's supposed to. That's where Rough Greens comes in. It's a nutritional supplement you sprinkle right on top of your dog's food. And I'm telling you, dogs love it.
I used it for Uno, and I love my dog Uno. We wanted him to be healthier, and we saw him get healthier. We saw him with more energy, better digestion, fewer health problems. I want you to go to Rough Greens right now. You get their free trial bag at RoughGreens.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're so glad that you're here. Thank you so much for listening.
There is something that is happening on Saturday along with the president's birthday. As I mentioned, it's also I think it's the Army's 250th birthday. And so they're having a big military parade, you know, because because Donald Trump thinks he's Kim Jong Un or it's the 250th anniversary. And.
All things 250 years old are going to be celebrated in the next year. But you'll have to decide on that. But Randy Weingarten and others, and when I say others, I mean others. Jason Buttrell is here to go over some of this. They're putting together this No Kings event in Washington, D.C. at the same time as the military parade.
The radicals are coming from the left to Washington, D.C. I'm sure I don't have anything planned that would be bad. But they're planning on being in Washington, D.C. during the military because they want to say, we don't have kings here. Really? Because I think the way you just coordinated Kamala Harris was kind of like a king thing, but maybe that's just me.
But who's involved in all of this, Jason? You remember the Tesla takedown event that was going on? Yeah, where they were burning things and setting cars on fire and protesting all around the world. Okay, so that's what's kind of fascinating about this because there was two separate things going on at that time. There were the radicals that were firebombing actual dealerships. But then you had this other part of the Tesla takedown, which was the nonviolent legitimate portion of it. Oh, okay. Now, both were going on at the same time. But...
The official version had a lot of groups that were, you know, very well known. There were people like Public Citizen. They were helping to coordinate some $13.3 million that they have in their war chest. Were they buying the legitimate stuff or were they making Molotov cocktails? So they were the non-violent legitimates. They were the non-violent legitimates. Okay. All right. As if...
But with legitimate people, like, well, I get air-quoted legitimate people. Ralph Nader, Bernie Sanders, people like that. Indivisible Project, $12.5 million and $9.9 million on their invisible action. They get all that money. Endorsed by AOC, other legitimate people at the same time. Well, they're all legitimate communists or socialists so far. Right. Okay, that's legitimate. I won't read them all off, but the Stand Up America Public Citizen Third Act Initiative says,
My point on this is if you go to the partners portion of No Kings, you'll see all the same damn people, all the same groups. They're all doing the same thing now for No Kings. Now, this is pretty much what they do. And Glenn, it's just very, I don't know how to describe it, fascinating, I guess, interesting, how it always coincides with this bottom-up thug movement that
Where they're trashing streets or firebombing or all that. So wait, are you saying that the top is coming down at the same time the bottom is coming up and turning everything inside out? It's weird. Glenn, what's going on right now is a case study. It's fascinating. They should teach this in universities. Oh, they are. Yeah, well, yeah.
But from the other point of view. Right, okay. Right? I mean, yeah, we have studied this. What's crazy is the things that you have done in different shows, on the radio, how all of this is crystallizing right now. Think, for instance, the special we did on Czechoslovakia. Yes. Remember that and not a shot was fired? Yes. If you read through that book on how they flipped Czechoslovakia from a capitalist country to communist...
This is how they did it. Yeah, I know. It's insane. There would be a legitimate move from the top. Then these thugs that would come up from the bottom. Activated by the top, just disconnected enough to where they could say, I don't have anything to do with that. And what happens to the people in the middle? Yeah, they get squeezed. It's crazy. So this is happening in Washington at the same time the president is celebrating the 250th anniversary of the military.
And I decided to launch, I have always on my letterhead and everything else for years and years, probably 30 years, I have had a logo of a skull and crossbones with a crown floating above the head.
And it's kind of a personal logo. My ranch logo is kind of a joke on the gate. It's got, you know, a bull's skull with the crossbones underneath and a crown hovering above the head of the skull bone. So cool. And it is an old colonial logo. And what it meant was no king but Christ. Okay. So,
It just meant I am not going to lose my first citizenship in defense of my second citizenship. My king is Christ. Now, I will abide by the laws of my country, etc., etc., but I will only answer to Christ on what I do. He is my guide, and I will render under Caesar that which is Caesar's. But, but,
This is who rules my life. And in our country, you know, during the American Revolution, that took on a whole different meaning. No king but Christ. Meaning, no, I'm sorry, King George. We don't answer to you. We answer to the Lord. And the Lord is telling us we need to go this way.
I decided to release these because we've been working on hats and T-shirts and jackets, and they're really, really cool. And I'm wearing one now. If you happen to be watching The Blaze, I'm wearing just the T-shirt, which if you can you take the shot from the back, you'll see take the overhead. That's the back of it. And it says no king but Christ and has the logo.
And I just love this. And I didn't know if anybody else, you know, I was making them for me and my family and everything else. And everybody kept coming up to me going, those are great. What is that? And so they're available now at glennbeck.com. The reason why I'm launching it this week is because while they're doing this movement of no kings, well, you have to have a king. So who is your leader? I agree with the first half. In America, we don't have kings. But then who do you answer to?
Their answer is to the elites, the cabal, the Communist Party, USA, I mean, whatever it is. Who do you answer to? You cannot just have half the statement, no kings. You have to complete that. No king, but, and in my case, it's Christ.
If you want to get one of these t-shirts or soon the hats and everything else coming out, you can get them at glennbeck.com today. Also in about 15 minutes, we're posting something I'm going to be talking to you about today.
an official press release will be going out here in just a, in a few minutes, uh, right after the monologue at the top of next hour, I invite you to, uh, to listen to that. We're going into the no Kings thing a little bit tonight, aren't we? A little bit. Yeah. Um, Jason came up over the weekend because we saw what was happening in, uh, Los Angeles and he's our chief researcher. And so we've been working side by side this week, going in and looking at all of the different, uh,
that are involved because this is really important. And I'm so glad there are others, really good, credible people. Data Republican is one of them. She's done awesome work in the last few weeks. I know she's done awesome work for a very long time. But on this one, she's way ahead of the curve and she has been showing people exactly what is going on. And I started this hour with that
with that statement from Gavin Newsom. Could we play that one more time? It's so important that you understand what he's saying, how he is distorting and out and out lying, and then the conclusion he draws at the end. Listen again. He's declared a war, a war on culture, on history, on science, on knowledge itself. Databases quite literally are vanishing.
He's delegitimizing news organizations and he's assaulting the First Amendment and the threat of defunding them. At threat, he's dictating what universities themselves can teach. He's targeting law firms and the judicial branch that are the foundations of an orderly and civil society. He's calling for a sitting governor to be arrested for no other reason than to, in his own words, for getting elected.
And we all know this Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived.
That is so... You agree with me, Jason? That's exactly what he's doing. That's exactly what he's doing. He is declaring the beginning of their endgame. And this is not just going to happen in Los Angeles. This will happen all over the country, and it's not just going to be short-lived.
This is going to be the way forward. They are going to try to balkanize us as much as they can. They're going to try to do to the United States what, you know, Hezbollah and everybody else has done to Israel. They are going to balkanize us and make the American citizens, the ones who believe in Israel, the ones who believe no king but Christ,
the ones that believe in the Constitution, the rule of law, in science, actual science, in actual freedom of speech, not actual hate speech. They will deem what I'm saying to you on the air hate speech every day they do it. This isn't hate speech. Hate speech is river to the sea.
Because, as I said earlier this week, most people don't know, the flag of Israel, blue, a blue stripe, white, blue stripe, at the bottom and the top, that means the river to the sea. And the Star of David in the middle. That is showing the whole story of Israel. It is from the river to the sea. If you take and say, no Jews from the river to the sea, there are no Jews there.
In that area. None. That means the entire state of Israel is gone. But people don't know that. Nobody's being taught. They're being lied to. Because in school, you're not allowed to speak your mind. Who's telling whom what you can teach and what you can't? What Donald Trump is doing with the universities is saying, I'm pulling your funding if you are teaching hatred teaching.
If you are not saying you can't say death to the Jew. I mean, he's not saying you can't say it. He's saying, I'm not going to give you federal funds if you continue to allow that to happen. And there's no right being taken away. You don't have a right to federal funds. It's not a violation of free speech in any way, shape or form.
But they are declaring everything, this is the important part of that, everything we have told you that is coming, these are his words, it's here. Our worst fears are here. He is declaring that it is official Donald Trump is a dictator. So everything is about to change.
And you just need to be prepared for it. You just need to be cool. You just need to be really well informed. And you need to know what your values are, what your principles are, what's worth fighting for, what's worth living for, what's worth dying for. You know, somebody says, hey, let's go get them. No, no. Why? Because my king is Christ. And Christ never said, get them, ever. I don't remember that.
And ye shall all remember, get him. He never said that. Vengeance is his. All right, more in just a second. Stand by. First, let me tell you...
You know who loves your house gutters? Who just loves them? Nature. Squirrels. I mean, they're like highways for squirrels. The birds treat them like tiny little swimming pools or like places to build their bird's nest. They treat your gutters like a final resting place with the trees. The leaves are there.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're glad you're here. Big day. Big day to join us. We've got a pretty decent-sized announcement coming up in just a minute. Is it true you've bought back all your masters, like Taylor Swift, and now you don't have to re-release all of your old shows by re-performing them? True. It's absolutely true. And I'm sending them to Taylor Swift Music. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
I'm happy to say, unlike Taylor, I was smart enough to keep my own masters. Not that anybody's clamoring for it. You're never going to see the Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, and Glenn Beck Library just sold. Oh, I've got tons of left-wing organizations that are dying to get their hands on your masters. Believe me, there is some want.
So this is going to be fun. Are we going to get any... I mean, is this a tearful... Are we going to get any... You're going to cry, aren't you? You're going to cry. No. Yes. No, I'm not. You know, it's really sad because I spent some time just working it out in my head and making some notes and stuff. And yeah, okay. It feels...
I'm turning a page on something and this is an expansion, not an ending of anything. And I just feel, but it's like, it's like a completed part of my life. And so I'm just kind of, I don't want, I don't want to be emotional about this because it'll send the wrong message. I'm, uh, this is not anything other than I just am proud to have completed something with you, with the audience, with, uh, and, and to do it with honor, uh,
And it doesn't mean I'm not continuing all of that stuff. It just means I've taken this moment to go, okay, done. Now what's next? And so we're going to talk about that a little bit here and there.
I would bet against me on the crying things too. Yeah. I say no, but I would bet against me. You know, no one's ever lost money betting that you are going to cry. Thank you. There's some, I think there's something seriously wrong with me. I mean, I really do. I think there's like, I don't know. I have an extra girl gene in me or just, I don't know what's, but. I mean, if we're being honest, it's not just one thing.
Thank you. All right. Thank you. Glenn Beck. Thank you very much. Let me tell you about the Berna launcher. I mean, you're seeing what's happening and it's just kind of happened all over the country. What's happening in Los Angeles happening all over the country soon. And, you know, you want to protect yourself and your family. And if you're carrying a gun for self-defense, you're
you know depending on where you are you better be you better know how the gun works you better know be a good really good shot and you better know uh all of the laws on um discharging a firearm because you even pull it and you can go to jail i want you to beat the berna launcher the berna launcher looks like a handgun feels like a handgun but it doesn't fire bullets it fires kinetic pepper projectiles powerful enough to drop an attacker to their knees
It also has tear gas. And there's no permit or background check, no Second Amendment, anything. It's a Burna launcher. Find yours now. Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com. Burna dot com.

This is the Glenn Beck rumor. So I want to share with you something that Governor Gavin Newsom just put out. He just tweeted on his ex-account, the founding fathers did not live and die to see this moment. It is time for all of us to stand up peacefully. And then he put it out for, you know, illegals. He put it out in Spanish so they could stand up peacefully and celebrate our founding as well.
He said something I played last hour, and I'm going to play it for you here and again. We're at the beginning of something, and I believe it is the beginning of their endgame. And it has put me in a position to where I want to announce something a little early, but...
But I want you to know where I'm headed, and I do that in just 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Patriot Mobile. You know, if I walked up right now very politely and asked you to give some money to Planned Parenthood, what would you say? Would you pull your wallet out and make a donation? Or would you say, Glenn, what, are you crazy?
I'm going to guess it's the second one. But here's the question. Why are you letting part of your phone bill do exactly that? Because if you're with one of the major carriers, wireless companies, you are. Verizon, Team Oil, Mobile, AT&T, they all donate to left-wing causes. Abortion providers, gender transition advocacy, anti-gun organizations, it's all baked into the system.
but not Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, and they donate a portion of every dollar to pro-life organizations, religious liberty groups, and Second Amendment defense. So...

He's declared a war, a war on culture, on history, on science, on knowledge itself. Databases quite literally are vanishing.
He's delegitimizing news organizations and he's assaulting the First Amendment and the threat of defunding them. At threat, he's dictating what universities themselves can teach. He's targeting law firms and the judicial branch that are the foundations of an orderly and civil society. He's calling for a sitting governor to be arrested for no other reason than to, in his own words, for getting elected.
And we all know this Saturday he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. That is Jefferson David. I'm sorry. It's Gavin Newsom.
And he is declaring that the time to defend democracy is here while he's got rioters in the streets, while they celebrate not Donald Trump's birthday, but the 250th anniversary Saturday of the United States military. That's why there's a military parade on Saturday. Look, if you watched any of the footage this week coming out of Los Angeles, you know something is wrong. You feel it.
You see it in the chaos, the organized protests that magically appear funded and networked, hitting some cultural pressure points, the same pressure points every single time. Violence in the streets, masked as justice. And I've said it before, but hear me with more urgency now. This is not organic. This is orchestrated. And on the Blaze TV tonight, my Wednesday night special, I'm going through all of that. And it is fantastic.
imperative that you know this information. But let me tell you about something that because of what is happening, about a year ago, I'd say, I started receiving in my prayers a feeling that something isn't right. And I tore myself apart. I looked at everything that I was doing. I looked at my business. I looked at how we were doing things.
I looked at, I looked, I looked at everything and I couldn't make sense, you know, of what this meant. It was, it was an overwhelming feeling. Um, and, and then I realized, oh, it's not just one thing that you're looking for. It's everything. Everything is wrong. Not meaning that we're doing something wrong. It just means the time is over for many things. Uh, almost everything. It's going to change. Everything is going to change. Um,
This goes to, you know, if I get a little emotional here, it's not for any other reason than I've been soul-searching now for a long time, and I'm looking back at the things that you and I accomplished together, and it's amazing to me. You know, when I first formulated what would become The Blaze, it was 2009, 2010, and Barack Obama was surrounding himself with the Marxist radicals, the
the people who were former revolutionaries, you know, people that were Islamicists. You had bill airs, Valerie Jarrett, Cass Sunstein care, George Soros, code pink tides foundation. Some, some of these names nobody had ever really heard of. Um, and nobody knew anything about the tides foundation. Um,
but we did our homework and we exposed it. One of the names that we exposed back then was Ron Gochez and said, look at this guy. He is a teacher. He is part of a revolutionary communist group. This is going to play into trouble here soon. You know, as I,
As I stood in front of those chalkboards and said, watch, watch how the socialists, the communists, the Islamists and the anarchists are going to work together, not because they love each other, but because they share a common enemy, the West. They're going to come together. And this Ron Gochez I mentioned back in 2009 or 10. And we went back to the archives and he is part of what's happening in Los Angeles right now.
All of these things are coming true. And I said Israel would be the first target, then Europe, and then the violence would cascade and come here to America. And when I laid that out, not a single voice in mainstream media, not left or right, no one took that seriously. No one engaged with that. Not one single host, not one outlet. No one said, wait a minute, wait a minute, Glenn, why would you say that?
Not one. Is there any truth in that? What is your evidence? Can you show me the evidence? Let me look at this and see what I come up with. It was like screaming in a hurricane while standing completely alone. Now, keep in mind, this is a time before podcasts meant anything. This is before Rumble. This is before Substack. This is while Netflix was still mailing movies to people. Before there was a serious media personality making any kind of impact online because they weren't online.
I left Fox to start the blaze and the day I did, somebody really respected looked at me in the eye and said, you're not seriously going to do that online thing, are you? I mean, that's ridiculous. That's a fad. Now, it's funny just a few short years later how no one said that when Tucker Carlson left or when Megyn Kelly left. No one called it a fad then. They took it seriously because it had become serious then.
But when I did it, everybody said my career was over. And honestly, there were many nights that I, in the middle of the night, in the dark and alone and quiet, I believed that might be possible as well. But I believed in this.
Because my goal was really simple, to break the barriers, to disrupt the mainstream media and create a safe haven, not just a single place where voices could be heard or just a single platform for those who had spent their entire lives working to tell the truth, but then ended up in the network system and were forced to play ball with the corporate media and big government, and they couldn't. What I wanted to start was a movement
And all that usually requires is one person to roll the dice and show others it can be done, and then others will do it. And that's what happened. I mean, look at the army of truth-tellers that have risen now.
The Blaze. You've got Ali Best Stuckey, Steve Dace, Nicole Shanahan. You know our Department of Defense, Pete Hegseth? You know he started at The Blaze? There's so many people that started at The Blaze. You have The Daily Wire, Megyn Kelly, Joe Rogan.
the Daily Caller, Tucker, Sean Ryan, Barry Weiss, Data Republican, all hundreds of independent creators, journalists, whistleblowers, citizen investigators, all standing where there was nothing but silence. Remember, the last election was not won by corporate debates, but by that fad called the internet and podcasts.
And to every single person, I meet them every day. People say I was one of the first subscribers of The Blaze. For every person who helped build this thing, thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. And let me just say to you, mission accomplished. You know, I used to say, this is the network that you are building. Let me just proudly say this to you today. Look at what you have built. Now,
I want to make this really clear. This is not an ending of anything. I am not done. There's all kinds of speculation, you know, with friends and people I work with, etc., etc. It's not an ending. It's not even close.
And it's not an ending for me. It's not an ending for the Blaze. I know some of their plans. I know what they're working on. And the Blaze is going to continue to grow and expand just as I will. This is an expansion of the mission, our missions. Just today, I'm announcing a new chapter for me. And it's not a departure from the mission at the Blaze, but an expansion of it because...
While we have cracked the back, I think, of the corporate media, there's another system that is just as broken, just as corrupted, just as dangerous, and that is education. And it is my mission now, I believe, in the next chapter of my life to do for American education what we did to legacy media.
and what I am building is not a new news network. It's not Blaze 2.0. The Blaze is the Blaze. The Glenn Beck radio program will still continue stronger than ever. All of this stuff remains the same. The Blaze will remain fearless and unshakable, but what I'm building is something new, an expansion. It is a mission designed to spark a renaissance in how we teach and understand American history and civics and faith and service. And let me tell you,
To everything there is a season and we are ready. Since 2008, I have been quietly collecting rare documents and artifacts that tell the true story of America, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Because we have to have a place where we can find honest history, unfiltered, raw, based on their own words.
And in partnership with David Barton and Wall Builders, we now hold the largest private collection of early American founding documents in the world. From the Pilgrims to about 1830, there's nobody bigger. I should say Library of Congress and the National Archives hold more. But as private, we're the biggest.
And for the last three years, we have been busy digitizing all of it, preserving it and building systems and tools where you can access it directly. No gatekeepers, no ivory tower historians, you know, rewriting our past. Just you, the truth and history that speaks for itself. Largely, this has been a private collection and not open to the public. That is going to change very soon.
And part of that, along with other things that I am building, I have hired a team that is working literally day and night. One team on this side of the planet, another team on the other side of the planet. So we don't stop working. It just goes from one hand to the other hand. So we're working 24-7 because there's not a lot of time. And, you know, nobody's sleeping now.
And we're all working towards one goal, putting this collection and so much more into your hands. What I'm going to unveil here in the next few months, I hope will blow your mind. Um, and yet what I will show you in the next few months is just, it's like a lottery ticket, just scratching off just a little bit of the search surface to reveal, you know, what's there. And it's, it's deep. Um, but that is my next battle. And, um,
I'd like to enlist you in helping. Something big is coming on both sides. But I don't want to be a revolutionary. I don't want to be battling on the streets. We need to win hearts and minds together.
Because what's coming is historic. And just like with the blaze, it doesn't belong to me. It won't belong to me in the end. It'll belong to you. And this is, I hope, a movement to rekindle curiosity, restore critical thinking, reignite belief in something higher than the chaos in our streets. You know, as I'm wearing my...
no Kings, but Christ t-shirt that has been a personal thing of mine for years and years, but I just decided to release them. And I'm releasing them this week because they're having a no Kings event as they're protesting the president on Saturday. Well, no Kings. Well then who is your ruler? This is an old, an old logo really from the founding of our country. It's the skull and crossbones with above floating above the head is a crown. And it,
always meant no kings but Christ. That's what the founders were all about. No king but Christ. I answer to Christ. If they're just doing a no kings thing, who do you answer to? If you want to be a part of this movement from day one and be the first to know all of the information, I would urge you to go to glennbeck.com. If you haven't signed up for my free email newsletter, please sign up because I'm going to need you to help me
build something new not a network i don't even know this is the blank that you are building i don't know what it actually would be categorized as because it's something entirely new but i hope just like we can now with the blaze stand back and admire and say my gosh what a difference our work has made because if los angeles is teaching us anything anything at all it's that the world that i have been
fearing and pointing out what's coming is here. And if history teaches us anything, it's that ordinary people led by truth can and will change everything. Will you join me again on this venture? More information to follow. Sign up now at glenbeck.com. All right, our sponsor this half hour.
It's good ranchers. Every day in this beautiful country, there are men and women who get up before the sun, before the coffee's done brewing, before the world even starts turning to make sure that America is fed. I know because I'm here with the cattle on the ranch and I'm not a rancher. I mean, I own the ranch. I'm not a rancher. You know, the actual ranchers and cowboys come and do all of that stuff on my ranch. I just admire. Wow, they were up early. They've already got what done?
These are the people that really change everything in America and make sure that we're not hungry. And they're out in the fields and the barns. They fight the weather, the regulations, the costs, sometimes even the bank just to put food on the table. But they don't get a lot of thank yous. But without them, everything else falls apart.

Exciting times, Glenn. Lots of, I mean, I know there's...
Lots of stuff to still be determined here, but it seems like you've got some big plans for the future. And, you know, you've been through this with me again. How's it feel?
Oh, it's always excellent, Glenn. Every experience I have with you is always memorable. How about that? Does that work? You're like, when I come in and say, hey, I have this really big idea. Stu is, I heard him say once to a new group of people that were working, said, listen, Glenn is going to say, basically,
let's build spaceships and you're going to go home and you're going to build a spaceship and you'll be halfway done. And Glenn will say, no, no, no, not spaceship spaceships. He's like, wait, wait until he actually formulates the whole thing before you start building the spaceships. And I heard him, I know I heard him say, you wouldn't believe how many unfinished spaceships I have in my backyard. But this one is, this one is done. And, and I'm really, I'm really excited to begin building.
And we'll have more on that in just a minute. If people want to find out more about this, they sign up to the glenbeck.com newsletter. Is that the best place to go? Yeah. Best place to go or listen to us on the radio because we'll have all this information. And we're, I mean, you'll see, it's just going to come out. I'm not ready to announce everything, but it's an expansion of, of what we do. And I'm really very excited about it. I've been, I, I,
I hate not to, because I view you, not used to, I view you, the listener, as one of my best friends. And it's sad, isn't it? It's really sad. Not you. Why was there a delineation there? I don't know why. Because I just think it's important to point out you're not one of my best friends. Anyway, but I view, and it's kind of sad in a way because I don't really know you. I just know you.
I just know who your values are because we're here every day and it kills me not to tell you everything, but, uh, it will be, we'll be, as we expand, we'll be showing you some really, really cool stuff. In the meantime, tonight on our Wednesday night special, uh, you want to know who is actually behind these riots. We're going to show you tonight.

Sheriff of Riverside County, California, joins us to tell us what's really going on next. Get all the details of what's coming next here with Glenn Beck on a Glenn Beck newsletter. Go to glennbeck.com and subscribe.
There are two points of view on what is happening in California. And one is that this is just a natural uprising because they're scooping people up and disappearing them off the streets of California, which is absolutely untrue. And even I think it was the New York Times had to retract and say, by the way, what we said about what was happening in that hardware store, that never really happened. You know, they're not there. They just were going after criminals.
But, you know, why let the truth stop you from a good riot? I don't know if you've seen the Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco yet. I love this guy. He's running for governor against...
Gavin Newsom, law and order guy, but quite frankly, just plain spoken and tells it like it is. He said the rioters are clearly not protesting immigration and customs enforcement and shouldn't be left free to facilitate the downfall of our civilized society. Gavin Newsom needs to stay out of the way of law enforcement. He knows nothing about this. He knows nothing about enforcement of law. He despises the enforcement of law, and he has encouraged this.
Joining us now is gubernatorial candidate for California and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco. Hello, Chad. How are you? Good morning. I'm doing great. It is good to have you on. Those are pretty intense words. Can you back this up?
Oh, absolutely. Not only do I have personal experience in what is going on right now, I have deputies. This was the two largest law enforcement agencies in the country were overrun. And they had to request in California, and I'm sure it's in other states, we request mutual aid from surrounding jurisdictions. And so there were three counties that had to send additional deputies in for this response. So this was not...
a and isolated little incident like the democrats want everyone to believe particularly the failed mayor and the failed governor this was in an overrun law enforcement by protesters who were trying to harm us destroy buildings destroyed downtown l_a_ and
That's what we're seeing. We're seeing that on TV, but yet the political world wants you to believe something different. And your opening to this was absolutely spot on. We shouldn't let the truth get in the way of anything. And this – it's all been a lie. It's all been based on a lie, and they're using this for politics.
So now the mayor from Los Angeles said, you know, we just put a curfew on, but it's only for a square mile section of downtown. And that's all it is. The media is now saying people like me, people like you are just fueling the flames because this is a very small part of Los Angeles. Well, aren't most riots, I mean, when the Rodney King riots, weren't they very small riots?
part of Los Angeles as well. I mean, Los Angeles is, I don't even know what 600 square mile. It's like ridiculously large. We, we know that. Why is this important if it's still just a small portion of Los Angeles?
Yeah, it's just another lie. It's what they lie on TV. They want people to believe. And then the media reports it. So the media keeps repeating their statements over and over. So it's the confusion part about who's going to believe what. Do you believe law enforcement when they're begging for more reinforcements? Or do you believe the mayor that says there's nothing going on and this is all peaceful? Just watch your TV. Look at social media and watch your TV and you can see what the truth is. And if this was no big deal...
I wouldn't have to worry about a couple hundred of my deputies being in Los Angeles and whether or not they're going to be injured or killed. In the last several days, they've taken rocks, they've taken bottles, they've taken large-scale industrial fireworks and gunfire. So this is not something minor that they want – that they're trying to make you believe. This is a paid-for political uprising that they are using somehow for their own political benefit.
So I have a whole show based on this tonight on where the money is and who the president should be going after and who law enforcement should be going after because there's big money, big names involved, organizations. You know, one 501C3 was handing out gas masks and everything else last night. I mean, this is, you know, you didn't see this with the Tea Party last
This is very well coordinated. What evidence do you have that shows that this is well coordinated? Everything about it shows that it's well coordinated. We know that there were people before this even occurred, before the very first night when it got extremely violent and police were being attacked, there were large trucks dumping off pallets of blocks and bricks to be used as weapons.
I mean, does anyone not think that's coordinated? That is someone buying those things and then distributing through the area and then coordinating with all the people responding on where to find your weapons. This is not a protest. And honestly, stop calling it a protest. We have to stop calling it a protest. It is not. It is a violent political uprising that is meant only to divide.
You said they are trying to violently influence something by political action. That's what this is. That's everything the Constitution stands against. This is what law enforcement stands against. And this is what will facilitate the downfall of our civilized society. A civilized society has an adherence to the rule of law. There is consequence for breaking that social compact. Newsom needs to put his phone down and be quiet because he's doing nothing but fueling this process.
Exactly. That is exactly what's happening here in Los Angeles. I will tell you this. There hasn't been a Democrat leader, including our governor, that has come out and said, stop doing this. Stop the violence. Stop the attacks on law enforcement. Stop burning cars. Stop burning buildings. Stop looting buildings. Stop harming our communities. None of them have said that. They've encouraged people to continue to protest, which...
Behind the scenes, the people that are watching and listening means come on down and participate in what's going on. This is not people walking up and down the sidewalk, holding signs, protesting against illegal immigration. And then we have to get back to the very beginning of this. It's all a lie from the beginning, exactly what you said. This has nothing to do with...
This has to do with ICE trying to deport hardened criminals who are victimizing us, particularly our immigrant community, and we are trying to get them or ICE is trying to get them out of the country exactly how they should. And we have this political movement that is fighting that.
The BBC just reported the protest erupted over rumors of a hardware store raid. The BBC had to correct this and say that's actually not what happened at all. Do you know when did you first hear about this? What did ICE actually do and how was it transmitted to the people and how did this organization just start pushing out into the streets? Do you know?
Yeah, there are political organizations, paid for political organizations that are doing nothing but traveling around our communities looking for Border Patrol vehicles or looking for ICE vehicles or anything that looks undercover. We've even had local law enforcement search warrant operations that have been disrupted
because they see our cars and they believe that it could be ICE and so these crowds come around us. They're driving around trying to find us. So what happened that morning was nothing but an absolute 100% targeted enforcement action looking for human traffickers,
People who have already been deported, robbers, gang members, drug dealers, they all had warrants. They all had deportation orders. And there was one building that is facilitating human trafficking and drug dealing through the drug cartels. And there was going to be a search warrant on that property. And...
this is what it turned into because it wasn't rumor it was the mayor going on television and saying that this was a a random raid from ice at a Home Depot and then that spread through every through every single policy into Washington was Washington politicians were reporting that ice raids at Home Depot's this is what they were protesting it was all a lie it was a coordinated lie through the Democrat Party through Democrat leadership and
and pushed through the media. We are talking to Sheriff Chad Bianco, who is running for governor. Let me ask you, how much of an uphill fight is that? I mean, I can't believe the people of California aren't up in arms today.
that it's I think it's Chirla, which is another one of these organizations we're going to talk about tonight. Like 72 percent of their funding is coming from the taxpayer. And I mean, it doesn't seem like Californians really care. I mean, what what is what are you hearing on the ground from the average Californian? Are they are they with all of this?
The answer is no. And if you would have asked me this three years ago, I would have, number one, I would have said I would never run for governor in California. You have zero chance. But over the last three years, there's been a drastic change in California because of a decades long, two decades minimum long movement in California that has just destroyed public safety. So the public safety aspect in California is exactly what we're seeing on television.
t_v_ it is criminals are in bolden's are are are the momentum and the direction of the current democrat party which completely controls california has done this on purpose and really this is what we're seeing today with these riots these people have been in bolden to do this and this is what happens when no one is held accountable so in the last two years there has been a drastic change in a drastic move
to move away from these far left policies even even from moderate democrats and that the the mainstream democrats uh... that or the the far left democrats i mean that are really there are there the ones that are running for governor against me in this next election they absolutely know that they're in trouble they're trying to distance themselves from progressive they're trying to move more more toward the middle and they're fighting me
Let me ask you, Donald Trump and the National Guard coming in, is that helpful? And what do you see coming towards us? Is this something that's going to burn itself out or is this just the beginning?
This will burn itself out in Los Angeles because finally Los Angeles PD and Los Angeles Sheriff have started arresting people. And I will tell you that part of that is because of the help that they have from the National Guard and the Marines that are on ground because those troops are guarding buildings.
that's all they're doing this lie about you know weaponizing the military against the people that are never going to happen law enforcement is doing the law enforcement part but if we are split and we have to we have to guard buildings then we're not doing the enforcement part so now that we don't have to guard buildings people are getting arrested and it's going to stop in l_a_ the problem is is it throughout the rest of this week
these protests are scheduled in all different neighborhoods including mine i have ten just in my jurisdiction coming on saturday alone so we're going to see how this happens i'm not going to handle it like l_a_ we will have an overwhelming response to these uh... these violent
protests and we will make sure they don't, they don't escalate out of control. I was talking to a community leader up here. I'm in the middle of nowhere, Idaho, just small little farming communities all around me. And, uh, I was talking to somebody yesterday and I said, um,
You know, how are things up here? Are you guys overwhelmed by all the protests? Kind of joking. And he stopped and he turned around and he looked at me and he said, let me tell you something. They ever tried that up in this community? We would meet them at the city line. It would not go well for them. And I have to believe, I mean, I really believe that. People would show up with their tractors and their hay balers and whatever else they had. And it wouldn't happen. I mean, you know, there are towns that are not fooling around with this.
and I'm glad to hear that some California towns are like that as well. I don't want to see anybody take action that is not with the law enforcement, but, you know, towns need to stand together and say, nope, not in our town, not in our town, and support the cops.
Absolutely, and I need to make this perfectly clear. From a law enforcement perspective, we will defend anyone's right to protest and anyone's First Amendment rights. We are there to guard, but we will not let it go into you violating someone else's constitutional rights and criminal behavior.
Yeah. Thank you so much, Sheriff. I really appreciate it. I hope you, I wish you the best. By the way, you can go to RiversideSheriff.org. Is there a place to donate to your campaign if people want to do that? Absolutely. Thank you. BiancoForGovernor.com.

I trust if you've noticed how every real estate agent says the exact same thing, trust me, I'm the best. No, I'll fight for you. Maybe, maybe, you know, just like every guy on every dating app says, you know, he loves dogs and hiking talk is cheap, but you know, what matters is why are you actually doing this?
Um, real estate agents I trust is not just a clever name. It is a company that I created years ago with my brother. And if the name came out of what I said, our mission was, you know, we were,
both of us having problems with real estate agents. We didn't know how to sell our house. We didn't know how to find a good real estate agent. I said, you know what? Let's find out. We started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country. And we grew from there. And that's not my hyperbole. That's from the Wall Street Journal, 500 best real estate agents in the country. And we started asking, what makes you so great? How can we find other people like you? And I said, I just want to find a bunch of real estate agents that I would trust and then pass that on to the listener. And
Well, that's what we've created. We've done all the hard work. We've vetted these people. And, you know, we've had about, I don't know, thousands of people on a waiting list. But we keep it very, very tight because we monitor these people. They don't work for us. We monitor them. We make sure they are what they say they are. So if you're moving here or across the country or wherever, just contact us. We'll help you find the right real estate agent and make all those headaches go away. Realestateagentsitrust.com.

Alrighty. Welcome to the program. Tonight, big show on Blaze TV you don't want to miss. These are really, really important because what we have talked about for years and years and years is happening. I'm going to lead.
I don't know if we have the clip of me or not, but we're going to leave the show with something that I was talking about in 2009. One person in particular and saying, look, this is what's happening. And I see his face around. And now it's showing up as one of the organizers of the riots in Los Angeles. By the way, you know, riots are just...
They're riots. They don't usually have community organizers with riots unless there's another agenda. You know, I don't see a bunch of corporate entities going around saying we've got to fundraise because we've got a riot. You know, we've got to burn some cars down. That doesn't usually happen, you know, but that's what is happening now. How do you fundraise for these riots? Well,
Well, we got to make sure that we give them gas masks. We give them shields. For what? For what? That's not a peaceful riot. Give them gas masks. Give them shields. And we're going to pass out numbers of attorneys that will represent in case they are arrested. Oh, okay. I don't remember that violent, violent tea party doing any of that stuff. But, okay. I guess. More in a minute. This is Glenn Beck.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Tonight on my Blaze TV Wednesday night special at 9 p.m., I have the Marxist revolution disguised as anti-ice protest. It's a really important program that you don't want to miss. It'll give you all of the insight, all of the truth on what's really behind this, what the real goals are, and who's financing all of this. I'm also going to put it up on my YouTube channel, Tonight Instead of Tomorrow.
So you can find it at youtube.com slash glennbeck and tonight at 9 on Blaze TV. Now, if you've been through this movie before, this riot looks a little suspicious. It looks a little more like the riots...
of 2000 in Minneapolis, less like 1992. The LA riots were slightly different, and while the city burned for a while, they finally got it under control after the president sent in the Marines. Well, there was another group of people that were defending the city, and if you have ever heard of the rooftop Koreans,
You know exactly who I'm talking about. If you've never heard of the Rooftop Koreans, you are going to enjoy the next segment because I have one of the Rooftop Koreans on with me that was there at the riots in 1992 and took place in making sure that that community remained safe.
We go there in just a second. Tony Moon is going to join us first. Let me tell you about Lear Capital. Imagine you'd sit down with your future self, not the flying car version, just you 10 or 20 years older, same voice, a little more gray hair, maybe a little bit wiser version of yourself. What do you think that version of you would say about your retirement plan? Would they thank you or would they maybe ask why you left everything riding on a stock market and hope?
Because the future knows something. Markets are not promises. Dollars lose value. Paper gains disappear really fast when things go sideways. That's the future.
You know, the future you wishes you had called Lear Capital and taken care of because you could have diversified, rolled part of your retirement into gold or silver, something real, something historically stable, something that won't vanish when the stock tech or the tech stock just takes the inevitable tumble.
So when the version of you that makes the smart call now, the future you is counting on the present you to build a hedge against the coming insanity. Does any of this make sense anymore? Just call Lear Capital right now. Find out about gold or silver and why you need to be in gold or silver. 800-957-GOLD. 800-957-GOLD.
From 1992, I believe this is the NBC report on the 92 riots in L.A. Listen. March 16th, 1991. Latasha Harlins, a black teenager, is shot and killed by a Korean store owner, Soon Ja Doo.
Du is convicted of voluntary manslaughter, but is sentenced only to parole and a small fine. The black community is outraged and remembers. What, six months probation? I mean, the people were pissed then.
Today, local Korean radio is broadcasting which stores in the area are threatened. Young men like Eddie Kim rush over to try to defend them. I don't care about the racism. I don't care anything. But it's not right, okay? It's not right to break inside and get any stuff. It's not right. I don't think it's right. He leaves spent last night and will spend tonight guarding his appliance store. A small battalion of employees and relatives will try to help. I only have one shotgun. That's all I have.
What do they have? They have hundreds of crazy people, hundreds of crazy young people with lots of guns. After the destruction, many Koreans have lost all faith that the authorities can protect them. We have one of those Koreans that we're protecting people, Tony Moon, a rooftop Korean from 1992. Welcome, Tony. How are you?
I'm doing well, Glenn. Thank you for having me on the show. It's a pleasure. I got to tell you what an honor to have you on. Um, can you take us through the experience that you had in the 92, uh, LA riots? Of course. Um, I was 19 at the time and, um,
I was fairly similar, a little familiar with Latasha Hogan's verdict, but being 19, I wasn't really plugged into politics or current events. And then when things blew up after the Rodney King verdict, it came down on a Wednesday is when we saw a
the outrage from the black community. And that's what it was in 92. It was basically a community that had legitimate reasons to be upset. And there was a rift between the black community and the Korean community because the Korean community actually went into these black areas that were predominantly black and open businesses there and were doing business in the community. And because of the cultural differences between the two, there was a lot of, I guess you can say, built-up animosity
towards each other. And that's where, I guess, that's the riots. A lot of the pent-up frustration was targeting Korean business owners because of that.
And it went on from Wednesday through the weekend until the National Guard showed up. But we were fending for ourselves by Thursday. And the call went out on Thursday. And once it went out is when many of us answered the call. A lot of the misconception that's online is that it was just Korean shop owners, which isn't true. There were a lot of young men like myself, 19, 20, 22-year-olds that went out there. And that's kind of what I'm writing in my book.
book right now from that perspective, growing up in Los Angeles at that time and what the culture was like and who some of these young men were, one of them being a
Eddie Lee, who gave his life that week for the community. And unfortunately, it was through friendly fire. And I detailed that in my book regarding why that happened and who some of these young men were like myself and my driver who was out there. And we weren't always, always on, you know, we weren't all on the roof, which is another misconception. Some of us were out there. We're
We were hunting. And I, again, I talk about that. What do you mean by we were hunting? You know, they think, a lot of people think we're just shooting at looters, which is not the case. In 90s LA, it was very, it's a very gang-rich culture in the 90s. I mean, there were a lot of gangs. One of the largest gangs that came out of LA is MS, which is short for Mara Salvatrucha, which is a Salvadorian gang that started in the mid-90s
mid 80s. And a lot of them were shooting at these business owners. And some of us who had a background in the streets knew their territory and knew who they were. So we actually went into some of these areas to basically let them know, put them on notice that it's
It's not just, you know, the older generation that's shooting at them, but we're actually going to be actively hunting them down too. And LA is very layered and complicated. There's a lot of different pockets and neighborhoods where, you know, you have different ethnic groups. And the rule is that you don't go into other people's area and mess around.
And you stay in your own neighborhood. You know, you would be respectful of other people's, you know, different neighborhoods. You don't go there and just start popping off shots. And that's kind of what they were doing. And I'm glad to say that it worked out. In the end, it worked out.
Well, I know I lived in New Haven, Connecticut, you know, that has a very rich Italian history. And that was the way it was. You know, the Italians protected their neighborhood and don't come into the Italian neighborhood and try to stir anything up or you'll be in trouble with the Italians. And they won't mess with you and your neighborhood. Just everybody take care of yourself. Yeah. So did you ever feel like a vigilante in any way? Did you feel that maybe this was questionable to take this on yourself? Yeah.
No, not at all. When you have, you don't have law enforcement out in the streets anymore. You know, the streets become the wild west. You know, it's everybody for themselves. You become, you kind of gain kind of a tribal sense of protecting your own, right? So it's no longer a sense of vigilantism, but just protecting your own and then making sure that there isn't any encroachment into, I guess you could say, your territory.
So I didn't see it as being a vigilante, but just maintaining law and order, somewhat law and order and some semblance of peace. And that was done through the barrel of a firearm. Compare what you went through, the Rodney King riots, the George Floyd riots, and this riot. Is there any difference?
Absolutely. Absolutely. The 1992 riots were organic. You had different parts of LA County that were upset and you had fires and looting because the black community was spread out through South LA, Compton, South Central, Ladera Heights, different areas. And you can actually see that, you know, when you looked at the city as a whole from, let's say, Hollywood, you saw the fires from different parts of the city.
These riots that are occurring now, like the 2020, what I call the Antifa BLM riots, and now the 2025 LA riots that are happening down, they're very centralized. And they're not organic. They're being funded by NGOs. And it's a leftist Marxist agenda that's being pushed to make it appear as if there's a widespread support for this. For example, the current riots that are occurring right now, it's just happening in downtown LA. And
and the curfew that was imposed by mayor bass is only for uh i would i don't know what off tomahawk but i think it's a two square mile radius yeah it is one square mile yeah i mean that's where it is i mean anywhere outside of that one square mile uh life is proceeding as it always has been and it doesn't look like anything is going on whereas the difference in 1992 whether you were in hollywood culver city which is uh further out west and
And then Hollywood is up north past downtown L.A. And obviously south of downtown L.A., you had fires, you know, looting. I mean, it was widespread. This isn't anything like, you know, what's going on back in 1992. And it just kind of shows the incompetence of the current leadership of not being able to get their arms around something like this. And they are, because of their lack of leadership and I would say common sense, they're letting these people,
these protesters spiral out of control because many of them, the, the playbook is for them to start in downtown LA at city hall and then make their way down to the one-on-one freeway, which really pisses off a lot of people because that's, uh, you know, it's, it's, it's a, uh,
It's a highly traveled freeway in L.A. It's a parking lot. You stop me from getting home. I don't care. I don't care if you're free for free candy bars, reindeer and Santa. I hate your guts if you delay me from on that highway. I hate you when I'm driving home. Absolutely. So there's no widespread support for this. OK, so tell me about how the feel what the feeling is on Trump and the National Guard coming in.
I think it's awesome. I think this should have been done back in 2020. But obviously, you know, during that time, it was his first administration, you know, first time going through this. But I posted it recently on Twitter that, you know, when you take a shot at a man and you try to assassinate him, he comes back different.
You know, and that's what he's showing. Yeah, yeah, it is. It is. Newsom and Bass both say the riots are contained. They didn't need the National Guard, that this is Trump just trying to turn into a dictator, that this is their communities having enough of these people being disappeared on the streets. What do you say? What is the average person that you talk to say about those kinds of things?
I would trust the meteorologists more than I would trust Newsom or Bass. They're in the same basket as Pelosi.
They lie about what's going on because of social media and because of the lack of reporting from the local news, which covers for the current leadership in L.A. County, including the mayor and the Board of Supervisors, the people that are not getting 100% of the news. And this is no different than what happened early this year with the fires.
with what was going on in Pacifica, Alta Dina. The news, in order to get coverage for the local leadership and to get on their good side, they're not going to report anything bad that's happening. But currently, there are, I believe, there's a class action lawsuit against the Board of Supervisors, the mayor. I think there's tons of lawsuits that are being filed right now. And the problem is that it's not these individuals that are going to be paying for these. It's the city and the county.
which is going to be a drain on the budget, and it's going to affect the social services that we need, like paramedics, firefighters, law enforcement. I can't imagine being those guys. Let me ask you for any advice you would give to mom-and-pop business owners that are vulnerable today.
A lot of them are in downtown LA. I would say board up. What I've noticed in 1992, the shops that were spared were the ones that had the steel roll-up doors.
Those do well. Otherwise, now, lock your doors. And deterrence is really a great way to keep looters out of your store. So you don't necessarily have to take shots at them. But displaying, I outlined it in my Twitter feed. It's pinned to my profile. Deterrence
deterrence is actually really great because these are these these individuals are looking for low-hanging fruit so they want their opportunity so they want to go for the easiest shop or whatever they're going to loot you know so if they go move they see you you're you know let's say you have a shotgun or or you know an ar right and they see that you're on they're going to think twice before entering and they'll move on to the next target
By the way, you can follow Tony Moon at RoofKorean7. That's his Twitter handle, RoofKorean7. When's your book come out? You've got to send me a copy so I can read it in advance because I want to have you back when it's out. Absolutely. You've been most gracious to me. I don't know if you know, but I did an interview with Morgan Zegers about three years ago in your studio that's been turned into a museum. I think you have some really great artifacts in there. Thank you.
Yeah, thank you. I didn't know that.
Yeah. I'm planning to release it. Well, I'm finishing it up by the end of, near the end of this month. My kids are going to read it because the book is tailored towards the next generation, like Gen Alpha, Gen Z. Because these are kids that weren't alive at that time. And they only see what, you know, online social media portrays and then also, you know, what they may hear from the news. So I want to give them an account.
from a teenage perspective at 19 in terms of what it looked like and how it laid out. So my kids are going to read it first. I have some really close friends. Some of them are in my book. They're going to read it too. And once they give their blessing and they're okay with it, I'm going to try to push it out before the end of the summer.
That's great. Well, do me a favor. As soon as you're comfortable, send a copy to me so I can read it because I'd like to be ahead on it. But Tony, best of luck. Thank you for coming on with me. I really appreciate it. Thank you, Glenn. Thank you for the time. Really appreciate it.

You know, some moments in life are small and change everything about your world. That first heartbeat, for instance, it's just a flicker on a tidy screen, a tidy, unmistakable sound like rushing waters on a monitor. It says, I'm here. I'm here. Welcome me to the world.
For a woman facing an unplanned pregnancy, that moment can give real clarity. It can inspire courage. It can be the seed of hope. But only if she hears it. This is why Planned Parenthood, they don't want any kind of laws passed that says you have to have an ultrasound. They don't want that because the chance of a woman choosing life doubles when she hears that. Then, if you couple that with real compassion, these moms, most of them are afraid. They're alone. They don't know what to do. They're poor. They can't make it.
When you couple an ultrasound with help after the baby is born, for the mom, you save two lives, the mom and the baby. Could you please help? I mean, one ultrasound is $28. $140 will help rescue five babies. Any gift will help.

Tonight on our Wednesday night special on Blaze TV, Los Angeles continues to spiral into violence and now more demonstrations are popping up in cities all over the country. Chicago, San Antonio, Atlanta, New York.
All over. And we're still in the opening phases of Trump's deportation plan. Remember, this was not scooping people up. This was a police action where people had warrants for their arrest. They had already been heard by a court and had deportation notices. And this is what the left is doing. And I really believe that Gavin Newsom is making this into his grand stand, if you will.
And he said some really disturbing things yesterday, at least disturbing to me and anybody who has been following what the left is doing. I think this is their plan for 2028 is just set the whole thing on fire. But I hope I'm wrong. I really do. Tonight, an old prediction of mine comes back. It is happening right now. Communists, anarchists, Islamists working together.
a movement that has cascaded all over the world and now is here on American streets. I've been talking to you about it all week on radio tonight. We put it all together so the facts can be in all one place. It's my Wednesday night special on Blaze TV tonight at 9. We're also going to put it up at youtube.com slash Glenn. This is a really important one. I want everybody to see it. So go to youtube.com slash Glenn back and on Blaze TV.
And Stu's very excited about it. I am very excited. I can't wait for the big show tonight. And I've got one as well, Glenn. It's going to be airing tonight. People might be interested. That's interesting. Okay, well. We'll be speaking on Greta. On Greta. Greta Thunberg. Oh, Thunberg. Yes, yes, yes. Hey, can I ask you, why didn't they stay?
Why didn't she just get on a plane right away? Yeah, that's a great question. Probably burning all sorts of fossil fuels to get her home. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Israel was not excited about them being there, so that's the main reason, I suppose, they did not stay. Did she expect them to bring a fruit basket and a Hawaiian lei at her arrival? Surprisingly, they did bring food. They did bring sandwiches and sustenance for them, which they happily accepted and then got on a flight back home. Unbelievable. More in a minute.

Well, there's been a departure of a very, very trusted source from the news. And today we mourn. Stu, do you want to take the eulogy on this one? You think? Do I get the honor? You get the honor. Gosh darn it. It couldn't happen to nicer people. Gosh darn. I'm a little ill. My throat is sore. Oh, well, just give us the highlights of what you would say.
Yeah, I mean, like Terry Moran, he's a bastard. That bastard is not always a bastard, but a lot of times a bastard when it comes to writing the news. He's leaving. Yeah, he got fired. Ah, shoot. I don't know if you're surprised by that. I mean, I'm moderately surprised by it. I mean, I think there was a time where, you know, journalists would do this and just get the suspension or maybe nothing at all. Now he got suspended and then he got fired. Yeah.
You know, I mean, of course, what did he get fired for? Did he get fired for believing that, you know, what's his face in the Trump administration? I kind of think it was Stephen Miller that he's like the most evil person in humanity. Is that why he got fired? No. The reason he got fired is because he told us about it because he mistakenly posted that on his main ABC News account instead of the burner account he was probably trying to post it to.
That is... Explain that, because I think this is a fascinating theory. Explain that. This is just a theory, I should point out. This is what I believe happened. But, you know, what I think happened is, and I think this is widespread among journalists, is they all know they can't say the things they actually mean because they're supposedly unbiased. So they have their main account where they tweet out links to their news stories and, you know, certainly give you tilted coverage, but not overtly biased coverage. Right.
And then they have their burner accounts, which they signed up under another name that probably a bunch of their friends know who it is, but they get to post whatever they actually really feel. And if I'm, I could be wrong in the time on this, but I believe this thing was posted in the middle of the night, you know, two, three in the morning, who knows me, you know, maybe, maybe somebody had a few too many and posted it under the wrong account.
That is what I, is a total, total speculation. I don't know that the man drinks or anything. It could not be that. But it is one of those things that's happened to a lot of people, right? Like this is not the first time this has happened. We've seen it with, you know, brand accounts, right? Like, you know, I don't know, some fast food restaurant tweets out some bizarre thing. And everyone's like, what happened? Well, the social media manager has multiple accounts.
And they tweeted it out into the wrong account. So this stuff does happen. That's my guess. I don't think he would be dumb enough to think he could post something like that about a public official and get away with it just because of the appearances.
The problem, of course, Glenn, is that he's getting fired for just admitting something, not because he's had decades of biased news coverage, not because he's been a bad journalist for a long time, which would be a valid reason to fire him, but because he told everybody who he actually was. He actually did a little bit of reporting and told everyone the fact that they needed to know for once. And he gets fired for that.
I think this is the worst reason to fire him. I mean, look, I'd rather know exactly who these guys are. I mean, we know already that...
But, you know, it's just speculation. I would rather be able to go, oh, no, this is who this person is. And so, you know, let me weigh that out. I hate the fact that all of them say the same thing. No, we are completely unbiased. Bull crap. Just read your own stuff. It's clear. You know, I mean, at least I have the balls to come out and say, yeah, that's not who I am. I would never have a burner account. Say it.
Say it or don't say it. You know what I mean? Just be who you are. The authenticity vacuum that is in the political realm and the news industry realm is crazy. It's just a giant vacuum.
There's nobody real. No, and look, we all understand it, right? I mean, at the founding, it was kind of more like what we're talking about, where people kind of, everyone just admitted their biases and then just said what they wanted to say. And like, it didn't always lead to the most balanced coverage, but it gave you
You got the perspective. You knew what prism you were seeing the thing through. Right. And you know what? If you look at the old newspaper names, you will see it's the Arizona Republic, right?
what is it, the Rochester Democrat, you know, they're still named these things because that's the way it used to be up until, you know, around the time of Woodrow Wilson, surprise, surprise, when they all started going undercover. It used to be, look, we're the Democratic paper. We're the Republican paper. This is our point of view. You subscribe to one, we recommend, I would recommend subscribing to both.
And that's the way it is. And then all of a sudden they started pretending like they didn't have an agenda.
Well, that's bull crap. And we all know it. Stop it. And if you'd listen to Terry Moran with any sort of critical ear over the years, you could just hear it in his voice. Like, you could hear the things that he was saying. He would frame things a very specific way. He would always kind of tell you what he was saying without saying it. And, you know, you were left to kind of use a decoder wheel to try to figure out what's he actually trying to do and what is really true. One of the things that we do for a living, Glenn, and this is, you know, people...
you know, oftentimes when we're talking, they'll ask about our work or whatever, and I'm sure you get the same question. It's like, where do you guys go to get news that you can really rely on? And it's so funny when they ask that question, my answer is always nowhere. Right?
There's nowhere I can go to find news I really rely on. What I do as a part of my job on a daily basis is read all sorts of things with a bunch of prisms that I've developed over the years to determine what is true out of this publication and what is not. Right. There are things that I can read that I believe are more true, more accurate, more along the way I think.
But that doesn't mean just because it agrees with me makes it true. And if you're not comparing everything, if you go in and you say, I trust, I've always said to you, don't ever trust me. I don't ask for your trust. I ask for you to do your own homework. Take the things that I say and then do your own homework. But not by going to some news source or, you know, God forbid, you know, is Glenn Beck a big fat liar dot com?
Go and do your own homework and look for as many original sources as possible and make the decisions for yourself. But hear the other side out as well. That's what we have to do. You must engage in critical thinking. The days of just taking somebody's word for it
should be over. And in a way, it is. Taking somebody's word for it is over real soon. Taking a machine's word for it is just about to begin. ChatGPT, all of these things, it's one answer. It's not hundreds of pages of answers. It's one answer. Don't take that one answer and go, oh, well, ChatGPT told me that. What are you, a moron? No. No.
You got to do your own homework. Yeah. And it's going to be really difficult for people to, to, I think it's difficult for people to do now. Right. With all the sources that are out there, they see something online. I mean, I can't tell you how many times I talked to people and they're just like, Oh, did you see this? And it's like something that,
It might even be good for our side, right? But it's something I've already seen. I've already seen the facts on it. You've already seen it being picked apart 20 different ways. It wasn't true. It was just a rumor, whatever. And that's like for normal people that go through a normal day and don't do this for a living, that it's completely understandable, right? It's how you would do it. It's how I would pick up some, I don't know, if I was reading a story about hockey and
I don't follow hockey on a daily basis. I don't live and die by it. If I just see a report on hockey, I'm probably just going to kind of nod my head and say, oh, wow, that's interesting and move on with my life without questioning it.
The fact that we all have to sit here and become these filters to try to figure out what's true and what isn't in the news, it would be great if we didn't have that responsibility as Americans. It would be great if we didn't have to put up with Terry Moran's. Right. It would be great. You know what? If we just get the information accurately and fairly without bias. And there are some people who do it. But, man, it's rare.
Right, and it always has been rare. Yeah. I mean, always has been rare. You know, you didn't trust people back then. You looked at certain sources and said, okay, he's more credible than the other. But it's always been your responsibility. That is the key to what used to be called civics. It's your responsibility. If you have a republic, when Franklin said, what have you given us, sir? A republic, if you can keep it.
He didn't say if we could keep it, if the government could keep you safe, if the news media could keep telling you the truth. He said a republic, if you can keep it, a republic requires you to be informed. You know, I'm reading the new, shoot, what's his name? He's a fantastic, just a fantastic playwright, wrote Glenn Ross, a
It's right on the tip of my tongue. David Mamet? Yeah, David Mamet. Have you read his new book yet, Stu? I've not. Oh, you have to. It's called, what is it, Disillusionment, I think? Let me look here. I just started reading it last night. Disenlightenment, Politics, Horror, and Entertainment. David Mamet is, I mean, he is brilliant. He's one of the best writers probably alive today. And
He takes apart what is going on in our country and just, I mean, just clarifies it so well. If you're looking for a book to read, read David Mamet, The Disenlightenment. It's really, really good. Really good. And it's written in a way to where it just feels like
I don't know, a Corbin McCarthy book or something. You're like, this is really well written. This seems like it's an important book. And it is. What he has to say and how he boils things down. I can't tell you how many pages I've went, I wish I would have thought of it that way to explain it to you, the audience, earlier. It's so well worth the read. All right, back in just a second. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

Wall Street wants you to believe that your investments are neutral.
But the truth is, your retirement dollars often end up supporting corporate policies at odds with your conservative values. Major investment firms typically keep quiet about this because transparency on this particular issue could threaten their profits. There's no reason to get you involved in this from their perspective. And they can't go putting their profits in jeopardy. That would be bad. Each share that you own when you invest in something gives you voting rights and real influence in corporate decisions.
But most financial advisors don't show you how to effectively leverage this influence. Because again, you know, why would they? It's much easier to kind of leave you in the dark and let them deal with it. If there is a way for you to get the transparency that you want, wouldn't you want to take that path?

Hey, the big No Kings event is happening in Washington, D.C. this Saturday. It is a very well-coordinated and very well-funded protest that is happening while the president is holding a military parade, not for his birthday, but because it is the 250th anniversary of the United States Army.
And so they're doing a big salute to the army and armed forces in Washington, D.C. But they have a no kings event. And I decided to release something early. I've been working on something. I've always had this as kind of like it's on my letterhead and everything else. And it's an old sign or an old image from the founding era. And they used to have the skull and crossbones with a crown floating above the head. And it meant no king but God or no king but Christ.
And so I've made these T-shirts and hats, and I was making them for friends and family. And somebody saw them and was like, you should make these. And so because of No Kings this weekend, I decided to unleash them. I don't know if we'll keep them up for sale for long, but you can get them now. And they're at glennbeck.com. No Kings, but No King, but Christ. And the old colonial meaning from that. We serve him now.
Not a king. We don't have a king here. But what king? Who are they serving, Stu, if we don't have a king? Who exactly are they serving? Because they're not serving the Constitution and they're not serving God. Who exactly? I love these. We're not doing this. Yeah, well, what are you doing then?
You can see that if you look long enough and find the hammer and sickle in the crowd a few times, you'll get a good idea. What was it? Is it David Horowitz that said the issue is never the issue. The issue is always revolution. Yes.
Yes. And that is, I think, the truth here, right? Like, that's what this is all pointing toward. Now, that doesn't mean there's not a lot of useful idiots. Plenty of them are useful idiots. They have no idea about the bigger picture there. Example of this, Simone Biles, the gymnast.
Did you pick up on her stuff at all? No, I've been following it a little bit, but not very much. So she came out because Riley Gaines, who we've had in the program, defending women's sports all the time, came out talking about a softball team who won a state championship with a male pitcher who was pretending to be a woman.
and completely dominated. I think this is the one that had pitched the last two games of the season, all seven innings, all shutout innings. Like, okay, gee, what could possibly be happening here? Now, I know USA Today said there's no scientific evidence, but you'll find some in the box scores of those games. So, you know, Riley Gaines just said, hey, like, this is, you know, this is to be expected when your star player is a boy, right? Right.
That was it. Right. Simone Biles lost it. She said, you know, Riley Gaines was truly sick. Long post about that. And then followed up and said, you know, bully someone your own size to Riley Gaines, which would ironically be a male, which is a weird thing, I guess, saying that she's large. I don't even understand the insult. I don't understand what that means. Now, Simone Biles is very small, so perhaps... Hang on. If there's no difference between male and female, what...
What does that even mean? Exactly. I don't understand. Yeah, it's weird. Zero consistency. And this is what I mean by useful idiot, right? Like this is, I don't think this is, I don't think Simone Biles is, you know, a thinker minutes about this in her life. She, and she then came out with this very PR based apology saying she shouldn't have gotten personal. She just wants to protect individual kids and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
you know, and this sort of goes back to, you know, this is sort of a, I think more of a thing on social media, right? Because she had come out with a, you know, a snap back at Donald Trump during the campaign about black jobs. Remember there was that controversy for a while. She was widely praised. What are black jobs? Yeah. What are black jobs? This is a black job. She's got like a gold medal. You know,
when you get that sort of praise, you think every time I make a statement like this, I'm going to get praised by everybody. And I think people are learning that the tide is turning a little bit on that. A little bit? I think a lot. Hey, make sure you don't miss tonight's Blaze TV 9 o'clock special.
