Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 3.519 Glenn Beck

Great podcast today. You don't want to miss. First, we have Jennifer Sayon.

0

Chapter 2: What happened during the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner?

4.36 - 22.097 Glenn Beck

She was actually at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. She's the woman, remember, she was with Levi's, and then they started saying, we're the uniform of the revolution, and you know what? We should make all guys girls, and she She's like, wait a minute, hang on just a second. And she started her own company.

0

22.117 - 44.303 Glenn Beck

Well, she happened to be just as a regular citizen as an invited guest at the White House dinner, you know, the correspondence dinner on Saturday. And she has quite the story to tell. Also, we are being duped. There is. You know, we're being lied to, and I mean both the left and the right. I shouldn't say that. The Democrats and Republicans are being lied to.

0

44.904 - 69.217 Glenn Beck

The Republicans are now just starting to go down this trail where you have crazy right-wing nutjobs telling you things, and it's pulling you away and pulling you into the fringes. This has been happening for a long time on the left. I want to reset. I want to show you what we actually... should agree on and what we should be talking about and why we're not.

0

69.778 - 83.313 Glenn Beck

Also, Camille Foster, a libertarian, great, great guy. We talk about freedom of speech because, you know, it's not real popular with kids today, those crazy kids.

0

Chapter 3: How does Jennifer Sey describe her experience at the dinner?

83.354 - 105.286 Glenn Beck

And we would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for that dog and that shaggy guy in the mystery van. But anyway, Camille Foster is going to join us as well, all on today's podcast. You know, you think it's never going to happen to you, but one day it does. All of those times in the movies, seeing somebody get mugged, nothing to prepare you for experiencing it in real life.

0

105.787 - 126.448 Glenn Beck

Because in real life, it's faster, it's closer, it's a lot more confusing than you expect it to be, and it's also terrifying. It's scarier than you imagine. There's no scary music building up to it. So you don't have a soundtrack in your life. You don't get a warning. You don't get a second to think through all of your options. That moment, whatever you have with you is what you have with you.

The burner launcher matters. It gives you a non-lethal way to respond using kinetic and pepper projectiles that can stop a threat from up to 60 feet away. It allows you to create distance and get yourself out of a bad situation, and it's legal in all 50 states. If you're over 18, you can carry a Burna launcher.

145.881 - 164.058 Glenn Beck

Buy one at a sportsman's warehouse located near you, or you can just go online, find out all about them, and get one online at Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn. Hello, America.

208.927 - 213.011 Kmele Foster

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

0

213.031 - 234.394 Glenn Beck

I want you to look at everything that is happening right now. You just go on to X or whatever and scroll down. Scroll on your phone, turn on the TV, listen to the noise that you're hearing, maybe even in your own offices. You will hear labels being thrown around all the time. Fascist, traitor, threat to democracy, radical, yada, yada, yada.

0

235.775 - 263.065 Glenn Beck

And it is a really strange way to run a country, especially in a country that was built on argument and free speech. That's what built us. People on the left will say it was revolution. No, it's a very different kind of revolution. Our Declaration of Independence is what made our revolution work, where every other revolution in the history of man ends poorly.

264.142 - 291.702 Glenn Beck

this one ended with the people who started it because they had a very clear vision of what they were trying to build okay and we're sitting here um arguing about things that you know we're not we don't neither neither side i don't believe that either side of the average american believe in some of these things okay

293.032 - 317.078 Glenn Beck

We should be laying our cards face up on the table and say, this is what I believe, this is what it costs, this is why it's worth it, and argue about that. You strip all the names and the labels off of it. The truth is we have real disagreements, serious disagreements. The country is in bad shape, okay? But the question now is, do we want it to come apart?

Chapter 5: How does Kmele Foster view the future of conservatism?

317.659 - 341.691 Glenn Beck

Do we still believe that it's worth saving? I am maybe perhaps too naive, but I happen to believe that most Democrats do not get up in the morning and say, I just want capitalism dead. I want the president dead. You know, I want a dictatorship. I want I'd rather have China run. I just don't believe any of that.

0

Chapter 6: What are the differing perspectives on freedom of speech?

341.711 - 368.646 Glenn Beck

OK, so what why what is it we should be talking about? I jotted some notes down last night, and I want to go over them on the things that we should be talking about to show you that we're really not that far apart. Let's start with money. One side looks at the national debt and says, real danger. Too much spending, too much borrowing, interest payment, eating away at the future.

0

368.806 - 392.044 Glenn Beck

It's going to collapse. And their answer is cut spending, limit government growth, try to stabilize the dollar before it slips and crashes and burns. The other side doesn't deny all of those things. They also see the same thing. They're like, we're never going to make it. You cannot do this. But they see a government that still has room to act, especially in crisis.

0

392.584 - 420.359 Glenn Beck

They argue about, you know, pulling back will stall the growth, hurt working families, weaken the safety net. So they still believe spend more, but maybe we spend less on defense, whatever. Are those that different opinions? Yes, they're talking about higher taxes, spending, yada, yada, manage the debt instead of slamming on the brakes. We're all dealing with the same number. This one's math.

0

421.602 - 441.765 Glenn Beck

But what you learn when you look at this particular thing, and this is a huge crisis. Both the Democrats and the Republicans know, I mean, people who vote for them, they both know my side's not serious about debt. They're not serious. This is all bull crap. I know that debt is a problem. My Democratic neighbor knows that debt is a problem.

0

442.205 - 468.308 Glenn Beck

Shouldn't we be uniting on that one, that both parties are lying to us about it? Right? But that's something that we actually all believe in, and that's one thing that we say we're arguing about. Hear me out. Let's talk about the border. One side sees a system that is completely out of control, too many people crossing illegally, too much strain on cities, schools, and hospitals.

469.269 - 494.971 Glenn Beck

They argue that law enforcement has to come first, physical barriers, stricter asylum rules, faster removals, yada yada. The other side, and I'm talking about the honest people, the other side see an economic system under pressure. They see problems, laws that are outdated. Workforce needs immigration. Enforcement won't fix it, blah, blah, blah.

494.991 - 528.083 Glenn Beck

They push for legal pathways reform, a structured system that still allows entry, etc., etc., Both sides are reacting to the same problem, the same reality. What we have right now is not working. But they each have different levers. But both sides are reasonable to a degree. I happen to disagree, but I can see reason in the argument. Remember, I'm talking about the average voter. Energy.

528.183 - 528.323

Energy.

528.877 - 551.508 Glenn Beck

One side says we're sitting on resources. It'll make us dominant. Oil, gas, natural reserves. We should dominate. We can use them. We can drill. We can drive prices down, reduce the dependence on unstable regions, get out of the Middle East. growth will come from abundance. It's a way to be able to pay down our debt. It's a way to stop the endless wars.

Chapter 7: How do Americans perceive the national debt crisis?

1483.208 - 1509.211 Glenn Beck

I think if I was running ABC, I would fire him, but not because the government told me to, I am absolutely dead. If the FCC started coming after ABC on this, I would lead the campaign against the FCC. It is wrong. Um, I don't like the, you know, I don't like the mob cancel culture or anything else, but there's gotta be some standards. He has a right to say these things.

0

1509.932 - 1520.285 Glenn Beck

ABC has a right to air these things. How do you balance free speech with decency? If your culture doesn't have decency, what do you have?

0

1520.445 - 1531.881 Kmele Foster

I mean, I think it has to be culturally enforced. And I think the Kimmel situation and the timetable seems to be on Thursday, he makes a joke. Yeah. On Saturday, there's an attempt on the president's life. Correct.

0

1531.901 - 1543.441 Glenn Beck

However, wait, wait, wait. But however. Mm hmm. Remember, the last time he was in trouble, it was because he was mocking Charlie Kirk being killed. You know what I mean? At some point, a decent person says, you know what, that's just off the table.

0

1543.481 - 1563.469 Kmele Foster

Maybe not the jokes I want to make. And I can totally understand that. But also, comedy is comedy. And comedy is about saying things that people expect you not to say. It is uncouth. It's unacceptable. Yeah. The trick is landing the punch appropriately. And did he manage to do that on Thursday? Maybe. By Saturday, that joke didn't make as much sense.

1563.569 - 1578.983 Kmele Foster

And if he were telling that joke on Monday, that might color things differently. But on Thursday, it seems like a joke about a younger woman married to an older man. Perhaps you don't find it funny. You can always turn the channel. And plenty of people have already done that.

1579.003 - 1606.028 Glenn Beck

I know that's his excuse, but I don't buy that at all. So... So how do we balance this? Because I don't want government, but I said earlier, a good thing for ABC, because I've done radio, I'm 49 years in radio now. Next year will be my 50th anniversary. Wow. And so I remember at 13 years old having to take the FCC test to be able to be on radio.

1606.008 - 1633.236 Glenn Beck

And one of the things I know is the FCC, it has certain guidelines, but a lot of it is community standards. And so what's happening in ABC's favor is we don't have any community standards anymore. It's almost like there are no standards anymore. How do we encourage standards to come back without... without forcing things, without the government. How do we do that? How do we fix this hole?

1633.416 - 1643.811 Kmele Foster

Yeah, just one, I don't think the government can meaningfully enforce standards here in this country. You just cannot do it by fiat. It has to be cultural, in which case it's the people who are listening to the show.

Chapter 8: What are the contrasting views on immigration and border control?

1847.552 - 1856.329 Glenn Beck

She's not in everybody's face. She's not Hillary Clinton. She's not talking about policies or anything else. She's just... Yeah. A first lady.

0

1856.469 - 1868.171 Kmele Foster

Leave her alone. Yeah. Not not a particularly divisive figure. Like the phrase that comes to mind when I think about her is be best. Yeah. Yeah. Right. It's not innocuous. Right. Right. That's just good. Right.

0

1868.472 - 1874.543 Glenn Beck

Right. So what are your thoughts on that? On on which dimension of on on what they said yesterday?

0

1874.759 - 1894.049 Kmele Foster

Again, I think I can I can offer I think you put it in the right context, at least with Melania, with she's speaking out publicly about this. She has every right to. She is a private citizen. And as much as she happens to be the president's wife, she can say whatever she likes. And if she if she believes that this person ought to be terminated, she can say that, too.

0

1894.069 - 1904.982 Kmele Foster

I do think, however, that it would serve her well. And it would serve the interests of the presidency in general and perhaps the country to set some of that stuff aside.

1905.142 - 1908.886 Glenn Beck

So let me tell you a story about what happened with me and Barack Obama.

1909.066 - 1909.367 Kmele Foster

OK.

1910.268 - 1913.331 Glenn Beck

Because it's the flip side of this.

1914.272 - 1921.54 Unknown
