Chapter 1: What topics are introduced at the beginning of the podcast?
Father's Day is coming up. It's right around the corner. And every year we all go through exactly the same exercise. We try to find a gift for dad, even though most dads spend their whole lives, you know, insisting they don't need anything. The best gifts aren't usually the flashiest ones. They're the things that a man reaches for time and time again, over and over.
The things have become part of his daily life because they're well-made, they're comfortable, and they're built to last. That's why I think American Giant makes so much sense for Father's Day. They make premium hoodies, great T-shirts, sweatshirts, everyday essentials made right here in the United States. Their cotton is grown here.
Their clothes are cut and sewn here, and the people making them are American workers who still believe in doing the job the right way. The result is clothing that feels great the first time that you put it on, and it keeps feeling great years later. Buy American. This Father's Day, it's American-Giant.com slash Glenn.

Glenn Beck is on. Well, hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're glad you're here. Lots to do today. It is Tuesday. Yes, I do know what day of the week it is. Barely, but I do know what day of the week. It is Tuesday. I want to talk about the election and the nonsense that is going on in California. We are launching our Summer of 250, our education program.
We'll get into that a little bit. Also, you know, people ask me all the time, can you imagine, Glenn, What do you think America would be like if Kamala Harris would have won the last election?

Chapter 2: What is the significance of the House Oversight Committee's report?
You're stealing from us. We're the ones working. We pay your salary and you're stealing from us. I'm telling you, when the American people, when that really truly connects and they stop playing stupid politics, you are in trouble, my friend. Stop playing this game. To the people, this is our republic. Reclaim your republic. Demand transparency. Support real oversight. Build a strong family.
Build a strong community. Strong character. Feed hope every day. Reject all of the lies. Choose right, right now. Choose who you are going to serve. The God of truth or the failing gods of this age. Because only one of them is going to stand. The gates of hell are raging right now. They're not going to prevail because good always wins in the end.
Even if I don't see it in my lifetime, good will win in the end. Darkness will not conquer us if we stand as free men and women under God. Back in a minute. Let me tell you about our sponsor.

Okay, you never, when you were a kid, you're never like, you know what? I'm going to be in the construction business because I want to do the paperwork. Never. Never. You know, I want to start my own company because I want to deal with insurance providers. No, it didn't happen. So what are you doing? You run business. You run your business. You're trying to keep your head above water.
The last thing you need is somebody stealing the focus from you and saying, are we covered for that? And they're like, I don't know. We should check in to see if we're covered. We should know if we're covered, but you don't because it's all paperwork. This is why I like SuperSure.
They understand that business owners have better things to do than spend hours trying to figure out coverage and options and chasing down documents or sitting on hold listening to some stupid elevator music that sounds like it was recorded during the Carter administration.

America has been standing as a beacon of hope for 250 years all around the world. We have had good days. We've had bad days, good times, bad times.

Chapter 3: How does Glenn Beck address whistleblower retaliation?
They have made it so nobody's breaking any laws. Nobody's going to go to jail. It's all part of the system. We think you got a ballot. You got to get a postmark by certain. No, not in California. You don't. No, you have a pen and an envelope. You just write today's date down. No, sorry. You just write election day's date down, not today's date. Turn it in and you're fine. That's insanity.
And Jason was just talking to the insiders here during the break and he was saying he feels like this is the Rosetta Stone that we are going to finally wake up and see how this all works. Jason? Jason?
Yeah, I think what's interesting from the Rosetta Stone analogy is the reason why we have the Rosetta Stone is because in the king of Egypt's arrogance, in his arrogance, he decided that he wanted to glorify himself and he wanted to make sure it was in multiple different languages so everyone in the realm knew exactly how to glorify the king of Egypt.
And that was the tipping point, the final key so that we could translate Egyptian hieroglyphics. I see this moment right now as the Rosetta Stone for understanding and even talking about everything that's happening right now with our distrust in many of these states with some of their elections.
I mean, what Steve Hilton was just talking about right there goes right along lines with an election insider that we talked about in multiple other states. We both know him, a friend of ours. I just want to quote from how he said these elections work.
He said the reason why Democrats like many days of voting, no signature verification and ballots able to be counted after Election Day is so they can see the Election Day turnout, determine the deficit and immediately go out and find all the votes that they need. Now, this is exactly what we've been thinking about. But here's what we've been calling it fraud.
We've been calling it things like that. That lets election, you know, the mainstream media come out and say, provide evidence that's fraud. Provide evidence this is illegal. Well, the last point that this person that I was talking to said, now here's the kicker.
This is all perfectly legal in blue states because of blue state laws.
And I think that's where we're missing a lot of the, you know, I think the language and the thing that we really need to be focusing on here is the laws that are disenfranchising millions of voters in many of these states where they have just atrocious election laws.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Karmelo Anthony trial?
And that's the most important part, the part that you want to memorize. But then you have all the verses that give it that background and that build it.
I mean, I think if you listen to it, you can tell what I was driving for. I want them to be able to name the five freedoms. And that's why I just, I mean, I learned a lot from Asa Bass when they, when they did the song, what is it? All I want is a baby. And there was like seven words and that was the entire song. You got the point. All they wanted was a baby. And that's kind of the same thing.
Have you guys listened to the American story at all yet?
That is in our things to do. Let's go doing a couple of road trips. And so instead of debt and listening to dad's sound, you know, music selection, we're going to pop that in instead and have that.
Yeah. Yeah. You guys might, when are you going on the road trip?
We're going to be going later this month. So, okay.
So you might, I think later this month we release a chasing embers. And I don't know if you read that a couple of summers ago, but, uh, Yeah, Chasing Embers is a kind of a dystopian thriller for teens. And I think you'll really, really like it. I think you'll really like it.
It's interesting.
And that will come out right around the time. Yeah. Go ahead.

Chapter 5: How does the trial reflect societal issues?
I mean, he used to be a food and beverage guy and then he was a, you know, a general manager at great resorts and everything else. And so, He knows how to take care of people. And when we were talking about real estate, we didn't know how to find a good real estate agent. And he was like, it's got to be people who know how to listen and take care, all of his qualities.
So we went out, we found him. We started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal. And we've got this down for you. If you're looking for a real estate agent, somebody will listen to you, work for you, serve you. It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

All right, I want to walk you through two stories that ran this week side by side because together they'll tell you something about one of our major parties. And let's be honest, it actually tells us where any of us will end up if we decide that the cause is bigger than the principles. So let me tell you first the story about Graham Platner.
Democrat, frontrunner for the United States Senate in Maine, taking the seat of Susan Collins, and they're calling him Maine's Mamdani. That's enough to throw me off the path, but if you like that kind of stuff and you're a Democrat, fine. He sells himself as a working-class oyster farmer.
He is a regular guy, anti-establishment, but it turns out regular guy went to an $80,000 a year boarding school and comes from a family with a lawyer father and a world-famous architect grandfather. So not the average guy. And the average guy, if the average guy is a communist... that says billionaires just shouldn't exist. He's talked about deadly violence against political opponents.
He calls all police officers bastards. And he has said rural white Americans are actually racist and stupid. Oh, and then there's a little thing about that tattoo. He's got a tattoo on his chest used by the Nazi SS. It's inked on his body. He says, I didn't know what that was. Everyone knows what that is.
Now, on top of that, the New York Times reported that several women who dated him described him as disturbing and intimidating. With one of the ex-girlfriends saying he was rough with her. The reaction inside the party? Well, not a lot. Senior Democrat aide has come out and said everyone's apoplectic about it, but I haven't seen it.
His own supporters, Congressman Ro Khanna, said that his behavior is wrong and toxic. There's a second story I want to talk to you about, and it's the same story, kind of. This is about a woman named Geneve McDonald. Now, She is a former Maine state representative. She's a Democrat. She was the political director of Plattner's own campaign.

Chapter 6: What do the polls reveal about American sentiment?
She wrote one sentence that I think is the most honest sentence spoken in American politics this year. We have learned to excuse what we should condemn. And then enough is enough. So those two stories, who this guy says he is, what she says he is, hold these two stories in one hand, okay, at the same time. Now let me play a clip of what Democratic voters are saying. Cut five.
Well, I think, candidly, the Democratic Party's come up short in a lot of ways in terms of, like, whitewashing our candidates and being so morally elitist and kind of entitled at times.
We have to be willing to get dirty.
His baggage is nowhere near their baggage. We're talking about people that are felons and people that take bribes.
I really kind of think that we all have skeletons in our closet and we've all made mistakes, especially when we're younger.
And that was really a refrain we heard time and time again, this kind of redemption arc. We can have faith and forgiveness. Stop. Stop. We can have faith and forgiveness. Let me ask. This guy has not asked for forgiveness. This guy has been denying all of these things. To give forgiveness, you have to have somebody who is looking for forgiveness. He's not. He's denying forgiveness.
Let me ask you this. How does the party that built its entire moral identity on three pillars, fairness, ending racism, and believe all women, line up to nominate a man accused of frightening women, the women who loved him, a man who downplayed sexual assault, and a man wearing an SS image, from the most racist regime in human history. And then he lied about knowing what it was.
This is the hashtag MeToo party? This is the party that told us we should always listen to women when they come forward? This is the party that told us correctly symbols of hate are never just symbols? Okay. Yeah, but the Senate seat is online. Those same people are looking at a Nazi tattoo and credible accusations for women who loved him, worked for him, and were frightened by him.
And the response is, well, I don't know too many saints. That's a problem. And that is a human problem. This is not just a democratic problem. This is a human problem. It's going to come for all of us if we let it. And here's the lie at the very center of it. The lie is this. The ends justify the means. They don't. Well, yes, Glenn, we have to flip the Senate. We have to stop the other guy.

Chapter 7: How should we respond to the current political climate?
But to keep their candidates, somebody reaches for an envelope with $15,000 in it to buy somebody silence. I don't know. That's not defeating darkness. That's becoming a franchise of darkness. Here's the problem. When you set out to slay a dragon, if you live your life one excuse at a time, nobody's a saint, you will wake up before very long and notice, oh my gosh, I have scales.
You're the dragon. That's the warning that everyone should hear and know for voting for somebody like this. And it's bigger than his communism, which is enough, isn't it? Isn't it? It's bigger than his communism, bigger than the math on Medicare for all, a plan that would cost the entire state budget. I mean, bigger than any single policy. It's bigger than that.
The real danger is not what he can do to the state or to the country. It's what he does to you, your own moral immune system. Because the first time you train yourself to excuse in your guy what you would scream about in the other guy, You haven't just made one exception. You've reset the floor. And I can hear people right now. I can hear them. You are such a hypocrite.
Donald Trump, Donald Trump. I spoke out about all of the things about Donald Trump. I spoke out about all of them. I continue to speak out about the things that bother me about Donald Trump. I don't blindly accept them. I just don't buy the fact that you think he's such a horrible guy. I don't buy it. I know him personally. You don't, so I can excuse you. I know him personally.
I know his children. I know the way he treats people. I know all of his coworkers. They don't walk away. They work for him forever. They don't walk away and say, the guy is doing this at night. The guy's got a Nazi tattoo. You've told yourself your principles are all important. You've told us you've got to live by these principles. You force people. But they were never principles at all.
They were just weapons that you used when it was convenient. And you put those weapons down when it's not convenient. That's not a principle. That's a weapon. And people who can't tell the difference between a principle and a weapon is a people who will follow anyone, anywhere, into anything. Let me ask you, if it's all... If he starts to say, you know what, we need to round people up.
He's got the Nazi tattoo. We got to round people up. We got to stop listening to Israel or we have to stop listening to these MAGA people. We need re-education camps. Will you follow him there because the ends justify the means? What is your line? If you don't know what your line is, I won't vote for a Nazi. I won't do it. I won't do it.
I know that sounds crazy that I have to say that, but for half the country, apparently you do have to say it. I won't vote for a Nazi. Won't do it. I wouldn't have voted for Robert Byrd. If you don't know who he was, old timey days in the 1990s, The Democrats voted for him. He was a grand wizard or grand dragon or whatever the hell they are in the Klan. I wouldn't have voted for him.
This is the oldest trap in human history. Every moment, every movement in time that has turned into a monstrous movement or moment started out certain that they were the good guys. Bolsheviks were there to free the worker. The terror in France was going to perfect liberty. Everybody believed the cause was so righteous that the rules no longer applied to them.
