Stu Burguiere (1:54)

Well, hello, America.

Glenn Beck (1:57)

Hello, and welcome to The Glenn Beck Program. We are really glad that you're here. There's a lot of weird stuff going on today.

Some stories that I'm not sure make total sense, and I want to talk to you about those. We're going to talk about what is the message that we're giving Russia. Why did we talk about what we're putting up in space? That's for China. We have a lot to talk about, all of it coming up in just a minute. And I want to talk about the Sheeran debacle again, because I don't think we're all learning our lesson from this. And I haven't heard anybody take an angle that I think we need to talk about, at least. That's coming up in 60 seconds. Please stand by.

First, let me tell you about Simply Safe. A burglar really doesn't want a confrontation. He doesn't want somebody saying, hey, I see you. He wants the house to be empty. He wants time. He wants to get in, get what he came for, and get out before somebody realizes what happened. Simply Safe is designed to take those assumptions away from him. They are AI powered cameras. They can detect suspicious activity at the perimeter of the property and alert live US based agents. And that's where this gets a little interesting because right now, before a window has to be broken or a door forced open, there's a real person assessing what's happening on your property. Agents can speak through the cameras and let the person know, hey, dude, we're watching you. We've already got pictures of you. 911 has already been called or 911 has already been called in and they're coming. Think about the psychology of that. The person approaching your house thought he had time. He doesn't. Suddenly, he's on the lam. New Simply Safe system. Get one and get 50 percent off right now. simplysafe.com/beck. That's simplysafe.com/beck. For 50 percent off when you order right in this show, when they say, how did you hear about us? Make sure you put, I heard it on The Glenn Beck Program. There is no safe like Simply Safe.

All right, all right. Let me start with this audio from AOC.

It's cut four, I think.

SPEAKER_4 (4:15)

Comes on the radio while you're driving along.

Jason (4:17)

Are you changing the channels?

Pat Gray (4:19)

I am.

SPEAKER_4 (4:19)

You are?

Pat Gray (4:20)

Yeah.

Why is that? I think that what we've seen, especially it's not just what has happened with the act and not just in removing Macklemore from the line up, but when you see what Robert Kraft did to line up all of the stadiums to censor speech in that one specific way, it's become clear that this is not just about one music artist or two music artists, but this is about how just a handful of stadium owners and the elite can prevent an entire massive issue. In this case, the genocide in Gaza, but it doesn't stop there. It could be speaking out about AI. It could be speaking out about any issue that you can now just get a handful of stadium owners to ensure that an entire person's career can be jeopardized if they speak out about any issue.

Glenn Beck (5:21)

So it's like cancel culture. Is that what you're saying, AOC? It's cancel culture.

Yeah, it sucks, doesn't it? When you can get a handful of groups together and they can put pressure on, let's say, I don't know, advertisers and get people pulled from the air, kind of sucks, doesn't it, AOC? My gosh, I'm going to lose my mind. I'm sorry. Blood might chew through my eyes at any moment.
