The Glenn Beck Program
September 10, 2026
One year ago today, a lone gunman took the life of TPUSA founder and president Charlie Kirk. Where are we as a country, as a political party, one year after Charlie was assassinated? When it first happened, there was a sense of unity. What happened to that?

You know, there's a certain kind of confidence that only parents have. You walk into a bedroom, you take one look at your kid and go, yeah, he's getting sick. You don't need a thermometer, you don't need a doctor, you just know, right? Unfortunately, knowing they're about to get sick is the easy part. The hard part is discovering that half the town has the same bug. The pharmacy is out of the medication they need. And now, you're driving all over town hoping somebody has it in stock. That's why I advise you prepare before the first cough starts.
The kids' case from Jace Medical provides physician-prescribed emergency medications and antibiotics designed specifically for your children. And you can also include essentials like albuterol, EpiPens, Zyrtec.
So when a school germ makes their annual appearance, you're not scrambling to find out what your family needs, you already have it. And having it when you need it, when the time comes gives you true peace of mind. Go to jace.com, use the promo code Beck at checkout, get a discount on your order.

Today, I'm flying into Utah, where there is a controversial memorial service. I was listening to those words that we used to play on the show every day as the theme for a while.
And are we one?
You know, I've known this day was coming for months, and I didn't know exactly what I was going to say when it got here. But I do know now, it's going to be quite a journey over the next couple of days. Today, the one year anniversary of the death of Charlie Kirk, and tomorrow, the 25th anniversary of 9-11. And I see them as mile markers. I know where we were. Where are we now? And I don't...
I want to focus on you. Tomorrow, maybe, we'll focus on the bigger picture. But I want to focus on what I think actually is the bigger picture. You and me.
I'll get into it here in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. There is a spiritual war going on in this country, and you can see it in what our culture celebrates. What it ridicules, what it teaches our children, and the institutions that have decided faith and traditional values are something to be pushed out of public life. And if you believe that, well, then at some point you have to ask yourself, you know, am I a part of this? You know, am I a part of this in any way? And yeah, the answer for all of us is yeah, we are part of it. We are part of it in ways that we don't even know. Where's our money going? I've talked about the parallel economy for a very, very long time and that we have to have one. And, you know, part of that, one of the reasons I built Blaze and the reason why I do what I do and I left Fox at the Apex and took this giant risk and everybody said, don't do it, don't do it. Nobody was doing this at the time was because I realized they control everything at the network level. They control voices. People work their whole life to get that job. And then somebody in a corner office tells them, no, you can't say that. We needed a parallel economy. And somebody else who believed that was Patriot Mobile. This is a parallel economy.
I wish they would use the slogan, do you hear us now? Because we have to send a message to all of these companies, all of them, but, you know, the big three mobile, you think you're trapped into it, you're not. patriotmobile.com/beck, 972 Patriot. Make the switch today. They've poured millions of dollars into the causes that we believe in, and it's more than money. They actually believe these things, and they volunteer their time for it. I know these people. I love these people. Switch, 972 Patriot, 972 Patriot or patriotmobile.com/beck. You get 50% off all wireless plans for three months. patriotmobile.com/beck, 972 Patriot.
I can't tell you how many scripts I have written and thrown out. How many ideas my producers have come to me with for this speech tonight for the Charlie Kirk Memorial. By the way, you'll see it at glennbeck.com. It'll be live. You'll be able to watch it. It'll be in front of the paywall, so you don't have to be a torch member, but you can see it begins at 830 Eastern, glennbeck.com.
