The Glenn Beck Podcast

This podcast originally aired on Jan. 22, 2020, as a crossover episode between "The Glenn Beck Podcast" and "The Charlie Kirk Show." Today’s youth are not the lazy socialists they’re seen as — and Charlie Kirk is proof. At just 26 years old, he’s the founder and president of Turning Point USA, the fastest-growing youth organization in America. A fresh conservative voice acclaimed by President Trump, he and TPUSA promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government on over 1,500 campuses nationwide. Glenn Beck and Charlie sit down for a crossover interview covering the biggest questions in conservatism: Should the Right support bans? Are we still “one nation under God?” And can freedom still accomplish miracles? The Declaration said it best: “All men are created equal.” But we must be free to fail, free to progress, and free to succeed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever. The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

The walls are closing in for the perpetrators of Russiagate as the Trump administration continues to release documents, and Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) tells Glenn Beck that “you’re going to see indictments.” As the former attorney general of Missouri, Schmitt took the Left’s tyrannical actions to court, which he details in his new book, “The Last Line of Defense.” Now in Congress, he’s continuing the fight to bring the deep state to justice. Sen. Schmitt tells Glenn why people like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Comey, and George Soros should beware. Plus, he gives an inside look at Dr. Fauci’s gain-of-function congressional hearing and Missouri v. Biden, the case he won against the deep state’s attempts to use social media companies to censor Americans. Schmitt also gives his take on whether President Trump can crack down on crime in cities like Chicago. Sponsors: Relief Factor Tired of pain controlling your life?

What does the struggle against the deep state look like from inside one of the Left’s most cherished agencies? Glenn Beck asks the Left’s biggest nightmare — EPA chief Lee Zeldin. He’s fought in Iraq and in Congress, and now he’s taking a sledgehammer to entrenched special interests and even his own agency’s rebellion. He pulls back the curtain to reveal the truth about geoengineering and contrails; Obama and Biden’s green energy scams; and extreme taxpayer waste. From dismantling the 2009 Endangerment Finding to restoring auto jobs, nuclear, and coal, Zeldin reveals how Trump’s EPA is putting American energy dominance first.

Over the past few months, classified document releases related to Russiagate, the deep state, and other scandals have shown us just how frightening the government can be. But as Gina Keating has proven, it is NOT invincible. Gina — an investigative journalist and lifelong liberal — was forced to question everything she knew when she discovered that the DOJ under Obama, at the urging of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was wrongfully prosecuting four Blackwater contractors for allegedly staging a massacre at Nisour Square in Baghdad, Iraq. Gina joins Glenn Beck to tell the story of these men, as documented in her new book, “Raven 23: How the Department of Justice Betrayed American Heroes.” She and Glenn discuss why the government really prosecuted these men, how Wikileaks helped expose the truth, and how Pete Hegseth helped convince President Trump to pardon them. But perhaps just as concerning was the media’s response to this story. Gina describes how her fellow journalists wouldn’t touch the case on “moral” grounds and provides solutions to help get partisan politics out of journalism.

Are angels, demons, and miracles real? Renowned atheist turned Christian author Lee Strobel joins Glenn Beck to explain it all. Lee makes a logical case for the existence of God, like he did in his bestselling book “The Case for Christ.” He touches on everything from why young people are turning to God and why so many Muslims in the Middle East are having dreams about Jesus to what near-death experiences really are and whether we’re living in the end times. Plus, Lee dissects some of the biggest questions people have about the supernatural: Are ghosts actually demons? Are angels our deceased relatives? How do you know you’re hearing from God? Will AI become the Antichrist? Sponsor: Moxie Pest Control knows exactly how to keep pests out without turning your yard into a chemical war zone.

Does the Epstein list even exist, or is the Trump administration right to say it’s a hoax? And should Trump pardon Ghislaine Maxwell? Glenn Beck speaks with Epstein’s former lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who makes a shocking claim about what he believes about the list and whether Epstein was a “trafficker.” Dershowitz also speaks about his latest book, which he believes is "the most important book” he's ever written. In "The Preventive State: The Challenge of Preventing Serious Harms While Preserving Essential Liberties," Alan takes a look at major debates America’s legal system is facing, including gun control and gun violence, freedom of speech issues, and global and medical catastrophes. Plus, he examines how society can prevent tragedies from occurring without stepping on people's liberties and rights. Is it possible to walk that line?

Why is America so divided over politics, Israel, and even Jeffrey Epstein, to the point that people on the left and right have turned on their allies for not saying EXACTLY what they want to hear? Former MTV VJ, podcast pioneer, and creator of the Godcaster app Adam Curry tells Glenn Beck that it all stems from our country’s spiritual breakdown. Adam, who recently became a Christian, explains why he believes many American churches have become “afraid” and “quiet.” But he also details why he’s hopeful that the younger generations will turn that around. Glenn and Adam also talk about the AI revolution, ChatGPT’s “parlor trick,” Hunter Biden’s recent profanity-filled rant of an interview, and where America may be in the next few months, especially with Elon Musk making moves. Plus, Adam, who had family at high-ranking positions in the CIA, explains his beliefs that Trump’s bombing of Iran wasn’t entirely about nuclear facilities and that “all of social media is either a psy-op by the CIA or DIA.” Sponsors: Relief Factor Relief Factor can help you live pain-free!

Jared Isaacman may be the ultimate embodiment of the American Dream, or possibly the real-life version of Tom Cruise’s “Top Gun” character, Maverick. He is a wildly successful businessman who started a billion-dollar company out of his parents’ basement when he was a teenager. He has never been in the military, yet he owns and flies his own fighter jets. And in his spare time, he’s an astronaut who has worked with SpaceX and became the first civilian in history to perform a spacewalk. When President Trump nominated him to be the new head of NASA, he seemed like an ideal outsider choice who would soar to confirmation. But then, he ran into a firestorm of turbulence that he’s not used to navigating: DC politics. Jared sits down with Glenn Beck to tell the story behind that, including whether Elon Musk played a role and why America must defeat China in the AI and space races.

Episode 162 originally aired Nov. 5, 2022 Journalist Whitney Webb has worked to uncover some of the most dangerous stories of our lifetime, and she joins Glenn to reveal just how eye-opening it’s been. Her new two-volume book, “One Nation Under Blackmail: The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime that Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein,” examines Epstein’s elaborate network of corruption and power, from Bill Clinton to Ghislaine Maxwell and many more. Her research into transhumanism has given her a terrifying perspective on the World Economic Forum and tech elites, including Elon Musk. And she tells Glenn the dark truth about Biden’s push for electric vehicles that she noticed while living in Chile. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) the next Democrat nominee for president? He and Glenn debate due process, border policy, deportation, and Trump. But they agree on the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, nuclear energy, cuts to the defense budget, and revitalizing American manufacturing. Rep. Khanna contends that the “administrative state has played a constructive role” and explains why he is proud of the “Inflation Reduction Act” before questioning the impact of Elon Musk’s efforts with the DOGE and laying out his plan to tackle U.S. debt, including taxing the billionaires in his own district, which includes Silicon Valley. Glenn is “pushing for Congress to take their power back,” and Ro Khanna hopes artificial intelligence will help “reindustrialize the country” to “help us lead against China.” While not reaching a consensus on topics like universal basic income, shutting down USAID, or progressive economic reform, they both agree that “we need more conversations in this country.” GLENN’S SPONSORS Relief Factor Relief Factor can help you live pain-free!

“There are a lot of people out there who just don’t know how evil the world can be,” says Scott Payne, a retired undercover FBI agent who spent his career infiltrating violent motorcycle gangs and white supremacist groups. After growing up in a Christian home, he briefly fell into Satan worship until an encounter with a real demon sent him running back to his Baptist church. But that wasn’t his only face-off with a dark underworld in a career marked by burning Bibles, lighting crosses, and sacrificing goats, while undercover with the KKK and a new strain of young white supremacist chaos agents known as “accelerationists.” He and Glenn discuss George Floyd, Gretchen Whitmer's kidnapping, Aleksandr Dugin, and the humanitarian costs of an open U.S.-Mexico border. Scott reveals the connection between gangs, cults, extremism, and even radical jihad but says he remains an optimist through it all thanks to his family, the prayers of his wife, and his relationship with Jesus. In a time when so many don’t trust law enforcement or the FBI, Glenn asks Scott, “Is the FBI good or bad?” You’ll have to decide for yourself.

A new pope has been chosen! As the recording of this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast" began, white smoke emerged from the Sistine Chapel, signaling the selection of the first American pope. Glenn and Bishop Joseph Strickland react live to the news as the whole world wonders if Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, will continue in the ways of his predecessor Pope Francis or go a more traditional route. Bishop Strickland, who was removed from office by Pope Francis, says the former pope pushed a church “in the world and of the world” and reviews “duplicity,” “corruption,” and potential abuse overlooked by the Vatican, including the infamous McCarrick scandal. The pair discuss the resurgence of the Latin Mass, globalism, the Catholic Church’s approach to homosexuality and gender identity, and whether the Shroud of Turin is an “icon” or a “relic.” As the new pope greets the world, Glenn asks, “If we have a more progressive pope, does that set the Church back?” Bishop Strickland advises that “even if we are disappointed and dismayed,” we must pray and keep our focus on God.

Is there really a “bloodbath” in the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice? Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general for civil rights at the DOJ, joins Glenn to discuss firebombing at Christian churches, “violence” against free speech, and the fate of the innocent people persecuted under the Biden administration. Harmeet reveals how the FACE Act doesn’t just protect abortion centers but pro-life pregnancy centers as well, says it’s time for violent activists to be prosecuted, and explains why “you don’t have to sue everybody.” Then, she and Glenn break down anti-Semitism on college campuses, her focus on the Second Amendment, and her advice to Congress to prevent a repeat of COVID-19 government tyranny.

"Everybody Loves Raymond" star Patricia Heaton reveals how she avoided becoming a Hollywood divorce statistic by listening to the wife of one of the Beatles. Joined by her husband, David Hunt, to share the inspiration behind their movie “Unexpected,” the couple discuss marriage, infertility, IVF, abortion, adoption, surrogacy, and even how marijuana affects sperm counts. Considering how environmental toxins may be a factor in declining birth rates, Patricia says that “the jury is still out on RFK [Jr.],” but he is going in the “right direction,” and she admits that some aspects of the feminist movement have been “tremendously damaging for women.” Patricia critiques the “huge problems” with socialism, and David says our education system is in need of “massive reform.” After joking that “Hollywood values” are “kind of an oxymoron” and teasing David’s upcoming role on “The Chosen,” the conversation turns to Israel and the rise of anti-Semitism, as Patricia explains why she founded the October 7 Coalition after watching Hamas bodycam footage from the deadly attacks. She calls out the pastors who don’t speak out because they are “afraid to offend Muslims,” and she says that if you want to know where the Jews' land is, just read the Bible.

Ravaged by political corruption, decades of mass murder, unfettered human trafficking, and a spiraling fentanyl crisis, Mexico is a “fragile narco-state,” says Brandon Darby, co-founder of Breitbart’s Border and Cartel Chronicles. While Mexican media and journalists are silenced by fear of cartel retribution, Darby has spent years exposing atrocities like the mass graves found miles from our southern border, giving a voice to a nation ignored and terrorized into silence. Darby criticizes U.S. diplomatic efforts focused on reforming Mexico’s justice system and depicts a U.S.-Mexico border rife with lawlessness and violence, urging Trump to enact border policies that “treat the cartels like we treat al-Qaeda” and not to forget that “China is courting Mexico.” For more of Brandon's reporting, visit: https://www.breitbart.com/author/brandon-darby/ GLENN’S SPONSORS  American Financing American Financing can show you how to put your hard-earned equity to work and get you out of debt.

Donald Trump is the only one telling the American economy, “You have cancer!” Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, says, “The treatment is going to be a little painful.” Kevin responds to criticisms that the Heritage Foundation has changed its position on tariffs, explains why the president’s treatment of Canada may be a “tactical error,” and says it’s time for tax cuts, deregulation, and to stop the “fuzzy math happening in Congress” and cut the budget. Considering why the Epstein files “landed like a lead balloon,” Kevin posits that Pam Bondi is “understaffed” and celebrates what he believes is the best assembled Cabinet in modern history. They discuss nuclear energy, the Chinese Communist Party, the DOGE, and how the socialist president of Mexico “understands Trump.” They both agree that we are experiencing the “second American revolution” and lauded the gutting of the Department of Education and the vision of JD Vance, while warning that “not everyone in Silicon Valley is our friend.” In the end, they have to ask, is Donald Trump moving too fast?

Glenn interrupts his normal podcast format to bring you an urgent warning: a new “god” without a soul may overtake us all. Instead of asking “does God exist?” Glenn begins his exploration with the question, “How could He not?” Do the laws of physics and mathematics point to a cosmic designer? Is biblical truth as plausible as the theory of relativity? The Golem, Frankenstein, Pandora's box, Icarus flying too close to the sun — it is all the same story, and although the rising threats of artificial intelligence feel brand-new, it is a tale as old as time. Glenn hopes we can harness the power of technology without it becoming our master but wonders if it’s wise to trust the same Silicon Valley types who addicted our children to social media with the power to create an entity that some may see as a savior or even a god. As millions reject the idea of a divine Creator, will we bow before the new god of silicon and circuits? Decide now before it’s too late.

Liz Truss, former prime minister of the United Kingdom, says she wants to be part of the “second American revolution” — “Trump-style.” With “Britian heading for bankruptcy,” “grooming gangs,” unchecked immigration, and the rising threat of Islamism, is it too late to Make Europe Great Again? Despite an unhinged deep state and free-speech crackdowns, Liz Truss still has hope, which is why she is working on a new media venture to rival the BBC. She exposes how the Bank of England “turned on her” and then marvels at the incompetence of Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney before offering a chilling warning: “If we do not turn this around within 10 years, the West is finished.” GLENN’S SPONSORS Relief Factor Relief Factor can help you live pain-free!

“I think it’s sick and wrong for any company to force anyone to do something to their body they don’t want to do,” says formers ESPN host Sage Steele about ESPN and its majority owner, the Walt Disney Company, forcing their employees to take the COVID-19 vaccine. In a raw and emotionally charged episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Sage opens up about the “blessings” of being canceled, the “human side of Donald Trump,” and why she has “no more patience for people who live in fear.” “I’m not anti-trans ... I’m pro-woman,” says Sage, who was born the year Title IX became law and made her career blazing a trail for female sports anchors. She calls out the “disgusting” silence of so-called “feminists” and Senate Democrats for not protecting women in sports and the loopholes in the new NCAA policy. And Glenn asks her if transgender athletes should have a league of their own. In a discussion about how racism impacted her personally, she admits Obama was “the wrong black president,” and Glenn finally comes clean about being a “white, cisgender man.” GLENN’S SPONSORS PreBorn By introducing an expecting mother to her unborn baby through a free ultrasound, PreBorn doubles the chances that she will choose life.
