Glenn: Biden’s most recent LIES are 'DISTORTING' OUR HISTORY

President Biden took time on Sunday to remember Martin Luther King Jr., which is ironic, considering how much the far-left vehemently fights against so many principles that MLK preached. During his speech, Biden spewed SEVERAL LIES, some of which are ‘gravely' distorting American history, Glenn says. In this clip, Glenn goes through the most recent Biden lies. He questions why SO MANY (especially in the media) are so quick to ignore them, and he urges YOU to stand for truth in your own, personal circles now more than ever. Why? Because ‘you are the keeper of the flame of liberty,’ Glenn explains. ‘And right now, [for] most of us, that flame is either out…or there is just a few embers of coal left.’

GLENN: Well, it was good to see the president out celebrating Martin Luther King day. I don't know how I feel about all of this, because I'm not sure if it's politically correct to like him, except on Martin Luther King Day. You know, are other days acceptable?

I'm not sure. Because he said, you should judge people by the content of your character. And now everybody is saying, Martin Luther King was wrong.

So I don't -- do I drive on his street? His boulevard today? Or not. I don't know.

STU: They seemingly, typically, don't say Martin Luther King was wrong. They say, the things Martin Luther King said, they'll say content of the character, not the color of the skin.

They'll say that idea is wrong. But they typically will just stand by and act as if they didn't say those things.

They like having the brand name of Martin Luther King.

GLENN: Right. If you act like, he didn't say these things. And put other things around him. Eventually, people will feel like he didn't say those things.

Isn't that great? That didn't really work for Joe Biden. Because he's been saying things for a long time, that are absolutely not true.

Here he's talking at church yesterday, about two political heroes, that he had his entire life.

BIDEN: Inspired by one of my only political heroes. I've been saying, and I've been saying it for years. I have two political heroes my entire life. And I started off as a 22-year-old kid in the east side, in the civil rights movement. And got elected to the United States Senate when I was 29. I wasn't old enough to take office.

And I had two heroes.

GLENN: Got it.

BIDEN: Bobby Kennedy. I admired John Kennedy. But I could never picture them at my kitchen table.

But I could Bobby -- and Dr. King. Dr. King.

GLENN: Dr. King.

Okay. He's 22. And one of his heroes was Dr. King.

No malarkey.

STU: So malarkey was not the hero?

GLENN: I don't know who malarkey was.

STU: He was not the hero.

GLENN: It was Martin Luther King.

Then he talks about, how Martin Luther King so influenced his life. That he kept fighting. Apartheid, South Africa. He was there on the front lines.

Listen.

You and I took on apart side in South Africa. And a whole lot else. They didn't want to see him coming.

GLENN: They didn't want to see him coming. And he knows because Andy was there. And he was there. And Andy will tell you the truth. Now, there's something else about his childhood, that you probably don't know, that you should.

I mean, he's a practicing Catholic. And he would go to church every morning. However, he went above and beyond. Listen to this. Here he is.

BIDEN: I may be a practicing Catholic, I used to go to 7:30 mass every morning in high school, and then on into college before I went to the black church.
(laughter)
Not a joke. Andy knows this.

GLENN: Not a joke. Not a joke.

He would go to church and then he would go to a black church.

That's pretty amazing. And then in the middle of his Martin Luther King speech, he saw a little girl in the front, and just had to stop. It wasn't awkward or anything.

BIDEN: So many young people are going to do so much more than we ever were going to. What's your name, honey? Well, it's good to see you. Maybe I can have a picture with you, before I leave, is that all right?

GLENN: Oh. That's really creepy. Thank you. But then he's right back into the speech. And I think this really says it all.

BIDEN: Hearing these words, and I quote. It took just one generation from segregation to the Supreme Court of the United States, end of quote.

Those are the words of Ketanji Brown Jackson, our Supreme Court justice.

GLENN: Uh-huh.
(applauding)

BIDEN: Took just one generation of segregation to the Supreme Court.

GLENN: You're right. It took only one generation to get there. To get there.

That is great. Who was -- because she's our first black Supreme Court justice, right? A

STU: No.

GLENN: No?

STU: No.

GLENN: Who was our first --

STU: Well, there's another one currently on the Supreme Court. We can start there.

GLENN: Oh, wait a minute. So he was on the Supreme Court?

But he was on our first. That was back in the '80s. No. No, he's not.

Will you look it up?

Because I'm pretty sure, it had to be Clarence Thomas was the first.

No. You got to look it up. Because -- and I don't think we really count Clarence Thomas, as a black person. You know.

STU: No?

GLENN: No. No.

I'm pretty sure we would have to say, the first one was Ketanji Brown Jackson. What?

STU: You mean --

GLENN: Yes. Right. That lady.

STU: That guy. Lady. Uh-huh.

GLENN: Okay. Who was the first --

STU: Thurgood Marshall.

GLENN: Thurgood Marshall. Wow, that's a good old-timey name. When was Thurgood Marshall on the Supreme Court? Had to be a generation after the civil rights movement, right?

Because it was just one generation from the civil rights, right to the Supreme Court.

Which, if you're doing that, that would be Clarence Thomas. But that would leave out Thurgood Marshall.

STU: 1967 to 1991.

GLENN: 1967 was Thurgood Marshall. So that's not even a generation. That's like ten minutes after the civil rights movement. Why -- why? Why?

Why?

Seriously, why? It took America, really, ten minutes to -- not a whole generation. A guy who was most likely. I don't know enough about Thurgood Marshall. But most likely a part of the civil rights movement.

And he's there. He's on the scene.

He's an attorney. He's qualified, but no way he's going ton a Supreme Court justice. Because he's a black man.

And America says, you know, enough of this. And boom! There's a black man on the Supreme Court.

Why are they making this like it's just happening now? Like he's taking a victory lap. I want everybody to know. Not only was I there. Which he wasn't. Not only was I in South Africa, which he wasn't.

But I also am the guy who brought it all home. We've waited a full generation. Not true.

What is this -- why? Why?

Why are we putting up with this?

Why?

We know it's not true. Do you think that the truth has no consequence?

I mean, the lies have no consequence. If you speak lies over and over and over again, what did that just do?

That distorted our history.

Gravely distorted our history.

Everybody will say, well, he didn't go to the black church. And he didn't even meet these guys that he's saying he met.

What are you -- I mean, he has been called on this over and over and over again. All of the people involved are like, no. It's not true.

It's not. Even the church he was speaking at, pastor is like, no. That's not true. Andy knows it. Nah. Andy is here to say, nope.

STU: I see what you're doing. You're trying to cover for George Santos.

George Santos, who is obviously, the number one guy. He's been in a leadership position for -- in our lives for many, many minutes, and you're trying to cover. This is what I'm amazed about here.

The New York Times wrote another, I don't know. Three stories this weekend about George Santos? A guy, who -- does anyone know who George Santos is?

GLENN: Yeah, I thought maybe it was just me. I know I know the name. And I'm like, who the hell is George Santos?

STU: He was the guy recently elected in New York. He just got sworn into office.

And he fabricated parts of his resume.

And this has been non-stop coverage from the New York Times for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks.

They want this guy to resign. He lied about where he worked. He lied about committing a crime when he was 19 years old in Brazil.

All these things.

And yet this guy, Joe Biden, continued to go of up in front of church after church after church, and tell this completely fabricated story over and over and over again.

They have fact-checked this with people who were in the church at the time.

Everybody who was there. No one remembers him being there. The guy he says was pastor, wasn't even pastor, when he's telling this story.

All of this is going on. He's the president.

The president of the United States does this all the time, the New York Times does not care. And then they've written 78 articles about George Santos.

How is this possible? How can they be so transparent about this?

How can they be so transparent about all of their lies?

GLENN: No. Nobody -- see, here's the thing: I was going to say, nobody cares.

But that's not entirely true. I think the majority of America actually cares, but they don't care about all of the politics that go with it.

And they're no longer going to care about things they think no one is going to correct. No one is going to pay for it. You know, oh, Joe Biden. He lied about this. And now he's -- now he's going to give away all of our money. And, you know, it was all based on. Whatever.

It's unconstitutional.

He can't do that. Yeah. I don't really care. That's what the average person says. I don't really care. Now, when indeed, they actually do. They just don't think it will change anything. And so they're like, I'm not putting any of my time or energy in any of this.

That is exactly what I told you Obama was trying to do to us, in 2008.

Do you remember when the news cycle all of a sudden became breathless? Where it was like thing after thing after thing, and you couldn't keep up with it?

It hasn't stopped since 2008. Well, that's what you're feeling. They've worn you out, on look at that double standard.

They've worn you out on absolutely everything, nothing ever changes. The Republicans are part of it. They get into office.

Nothing changes. They do the same thing. It is natural for humans to go, well, why the hell do I even care?

It's not going to change anything.

Imagine the people in Phoenix. Imagine the people in Arizona.

Who actually believe that it was stolen from them.

Okay? Two times in a row. Stolen from them. Do you think they'll care about voting next -- next time?

Which is the worst thing that could possibly happen. This is why I'm giving you this. The worst thing that could happen is you go, I'm not voting -- I don't really care. It's not going to change. They're just stealing it. If you retreat, it's over. It is officially over.

If you see this, and you're like, this guy is lying, over and over again.

You may not get him, you know, kicked out of office. You're not going to change the media's mind, but you have to stand as a sentinel of truth in your own life and in your own sphere of influence. Because we can't let these things just become true. And they will become true, if no one stands to challenge them. And I'm not saying you're going to win nationally, you've got to win in your own homes.

You've got to keep -- you are the keeper of the flame of liberty. And right now, most of us, that flame is either out for most Americans, or there is just a few embers of coal left.

You've got to blow that back into life, in yourself.

I'm not saying, that you have to worry about every single thing, and politics. Because I'm tired of it.

I have resigned myself. I really believe, the Lord is the only one that can work this out. So when I say that, I'm not like, you handle it, Lord. I'm going to vacation. Oh, he's got it. He's got it. I'm just going to go to a movie.

No. I believe the only thing that will save our nation, is God almighty. And it is going to happen in a Biblical sized miracle in the end.

And he'll get credit for it. But I will tell you, that ain't going to happen if we all just go our own way and do nothing.

We have got to stand up and just say, hey, just want to let you all know. I mean, want to post this from Joe Biden on Martin Luther King day, happy birthday. Or, you know -- was it? It's not officially his birthday. But happy Martin Luther King day. Isn't this actually -- no. I think it was Washington's day or something.

But, anyway, you know. Happy Martin Luther King day. I still believe in the words of the Declaration of Independence, which Martin Luther King called America back to.

This stuff, from Joe Biden, is a lie. I'm not saying it.

CNN said it.

CNN said it.

You know, they said it once.

Has THIS Islamist organization BROKEN state laws for YEARS?!

A new report accuses CAIR Action, the political arm of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, of breaking state laws with its political activism. Glenn Beck reviews this story...

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So let me go over what is -- what's happening with -- with CAIR.

You know, the Founding Fathers were obsessed over accountability.

Because they knew one thing. You know, they did. They must get suggestions from people on, you know, through tweets. They studied every single system of government.

Every single republic that survived. That didn't survive.

Why didn't it survive?

They studied all forms of government. They were trying to come up with something that could -- could set people free.

And they -- they worked really hard on putting our checks and balances in place, because they knew, once power slips into the shadows. They knew, once power slips into the shadows, once influence becomes unmoored from law, what rises is not a republic.

It's a machine. And that's what you're seeing right now. We're not living in a republic. We're living in a machine.

We -- I think we're staring at one of the largest unregulated political machines operating in the United States ever! Okay.

There have been a couple of groups that are doing sweeping investigations, two watchdog groups. One of them is NCRI and the Intelligent Advocacy Network.

And they have concluded now that the political arm of CAIR, he known as CAIR action, has been operating nationwide with no legal authority, to do the things it has been doing for years now.

They're not allowed to raise money. They've been raising money. Coordinating political campaigns.

Not allowed to do it. Endorsing candidates. Not allowed to do it, they're doing it. Mobilizing voters, shaping policy, functioning as a national advocacy network.

They don't have the legal authority to do any of it. And no one has said anything.

Now, according to the report, CAIR action doesn't just have a paperwork problem.

Investigators found, state by state, that it lacks the license, the registrations. The charitable authorizations, required to legally solicit money.

Excuse me. Or conduct political activity, in any of the 22 states in which it operates. Think of that!

I know how serious this is, because I remember what it took to get the license in each and every state, for Mercury One.

So we could operate. We could raise money. We could do things in those states. It's a lot of work. And if you don't do it, you go to jail. And they find out pretty quickly.

Okay?

22 states, they operate not one, zero legal authorization.

In Washington, DC, the city where CAIR action is incorporated, the department of licensing and consumer protection told investigators, they have no record of CAIR action ever obtaining the basic business license required to solicit funds or to operate.

Imagine how long would you last in business, especially if you were controversial.

How long would you remain in business, if you never had a business license?

You think somebody would figure that out?

In a sooner time than I don't know. A couple of decades!

This report means, that the organization if true, is engaging in unlicensed inner state solicitation.

It has exposed itself to allegations as serious as deceptive solicitation. Wire fraud and false statements to the IRS. These are big things.

And this is not political rhetoric.

Are these phrases written in black and white. In the law.

And by investigators. In California, one of CAIR's most active hubs. The state attorney general has said, the state attorney general of California has said, same pattern here!

The state of California, to say, yep. That's what's happening here.

CAIR action has never registered with California's charitable registry.

Never filed the required CT1 form. And has no authorization whatsoever to request donations. But they've been doing it in California anyway.

Fundraising, selling memberships. Issuing endorsements. Mobilizing voters. All of that has been done by CAIR action. There's no record of any license. Any permission, ever. Going to CAIR. From California. That's according to their attorney general.

Wow!

That's pretty remarkable, huh? How does that happen?

It's not just the coast. It is also happening to the Midwest, the South, the Mountain West. Every state hosting its own CAIR action fundraising page, complete with the donate now and become a member portal, despite no trace of the legal filings required to operate. That's bad!

Now, here's where the stakes rise.

Because CAIR action presents itself openly, as the political arm of CAIR National.

Investigators are now warning that any unauthorized fundraising or political activity.

Could become CAIR's national responsibility as well.

So, in other words, the parent, CAIR itself, might be held responsible.

Meaning, this is want just a rogue subdivision.

This could implicate the entire National Organization of CAIR.

Now, this is happening at the same time it's coming under national scrutiny. It's also Texas.

And I think Florida have designated the group a foreign terrorist organization. Members of Congress are now asking the IRS, the Treasury, the Department of Education to investigate all of its partnerships, all of its financing, all of its influence operations. I mean, I think they're going to be in trouble.

How long have we been saying this?

But every time, I have pointed out anything about CAIR, I have been called an Islamophobe, which shuts everything down. That is a word, developed by people like CAIR, to shut people down, so you'll never look into them.

So what happens next?

First of all, the reports have to hold up.

Regulators now have an obligation. Not a choice. An obligation to act!

State attorneys general in these 22 states, they might pursue fines, injunctions, criminal referrals.

All of them need to take action!

The IRS, needs to take action. Investigate tax exempt fraud. Treasury Department may review foreign influence or money flow violations.

Anything coming from overseas.

Oh, I can't imagine it. They're so buttoned up, right now.

DC regulators may determine whether CAIR actions entire fundraising operation has been unlawful from the beginning.

But here's the deeper question. And it's not bureaucratic. This one is constitutional.

Can the United States tolerate an influence machine, that operates outside of the legal framework, designed to prevent corruption, foreign leverage, and untraceable money?

If I hear one more time, talking about how AIPAC has just got to be investigated. Fine. Investigate.

I'm not against it.

Investigate.

Why aren't you saying anything about CAIR?

It feels like it might be a tool in the hands of a foreign operation.

Why aren't you saying anything about this?

Because here it is! It's not like, hey. I wonder why.

This is it! This is it! This isn't about silencing CAIR. Muslim Americans are -- that are full citizens, they have every right to speak. Every right to vote. Every right to organize. Participate in public life. No question! They can disagree with me, all they want.

But no organization. None! Not mine. Not yours. Not theirs. None. Should operate a nationwide political network, in the shadows and be immune from all of the guardrails that every other group must follow!

That's called a fourth branch of government!

That's how a fourth branch goes.

By the way, CAIR has placed all kinds of people in our Department of Homeland Security. Et cetera, et cetera. This organization has done it!

This is -- you cannot have a fourth branch of government.

They must abide by the laws.

No -- you can't have a branch that nobody elected. Nobody oversees.

Nobody holds accountable.

We talked about this yesterday, on yesterday's podcast. So what needs to happen is total transparency. CAIR action has to release its filings. Its donor structure. Its compliance records, if they exist. Equal enforcement under the law. I don't want them prosecuted in special ways.

Look, if AIPAC is doing the same thing. AIPAC should be prosecuted exactly the same way.
I want it equal. I want constitutional rule.

If conservatives, if Catholics, pro-Israel, environmental, Second Amendment groups, if they have to comply by the state law, so does CAIR action.

And if CAIR action has to do it, so do the Second Amendment groups and environmentalists, and pro-Israel and conservative groups. The law cannot be selective. It can't be!

I don't know how that's controversial in today's world. But somehow or another, they will find a way.

The Feds have to review all of this. If the report is accurate, the IRS and the Treasury have to determine whether false statements or unlicensed interstate solicitations have occurred.

Americans deserve to know what exactly, who is influencing our elections. Who is shaping our policy? Who is raising money in their state?

Especially physical the organization claims political authority, that it doesn't legally possess.

Because history will teach us one unchanging lesson. When a republic stops enforcing its own laws, someone else will always step in to fill that vacuum because power abhors a vacuum!

Unregulated, political power abhors a free people. So while it's about CAIR, it's not about Muslim Americans. It's not about religion.

As always, at least on this program, we try to make it about the rule of law.

One standard for everyone or no standard at all!

And that more than anything, will determine whether or not our institutions remain worthy of the freedom and responsibility that we have entrusted to them.

Glenn Beck WARNS Democrats Will Return with VENGEANCE in 2026 | Glenn TV | Ep 473

America is entering a year of historic upheaval from Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the spiritual shock that followed, to Trump’s tariff revolution, China’s rare-earth war, collapsing energy grids, AI displacement, and the looming fights over Taiwan and Venezuela. Glenn sits down with BlazeTV hosts ‪@deaceshow‬ and ‪@lizwheeler‬ along with his head researcher Jason Buttrill, to break down the biggest stories of 2025. Plus, they each give their most explosive prediction for 2026 that could shape our politics, economy, national security, and civil rights in ways Americans have never experienced before.

Trump Just SHATTERED the “Expert Class” - And the Deep State is in Total Panic

For nearly a century, Washington DC has been ruled by an unelected “expert class” operating as an unconstitutional fourth branch of government — accountable to no one, removable by no president, and shielded from all consequences. Glenn breaks down why Trump’s firing of the Federal Trade Commissioner could finally dismantle the 1935 precedent that empowered technocrats, how Ketanji Brown Jackson exposed the Supreme Court’s embrace of expert rule, and why America cannot survive a government run by people who never face the voters and never pay for their failures.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Okay. So President Donald Trump fired the federal trade commissioner Rebecca Slaughter. Federal Trade Commission is an administrative position. I mean, this is under -- the head of the federal trade commission is a cabinet member.

And if the justices uphold Trump's firing of Slaughter, that will overturn a precedent that was horrible, that was set in 1935. Remember, 1935, we're flirting with fascism. You know, everybody thinks. Because they haven't seen the horrors of fascism yet.

Everybody thinks fascism is neat, blah, blah. So what they do is they say that this is an independent person. And the president can't fire them. Because they're, you know, an independent agency.

Well, wait. That would make a fourth branch of government. Our Constitution is really clear.

There is no such thing as a fourth branch of government. Right?

So that's what they're deciding. Now, here is Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is talking about how we really need to listen to the experts. Cut four.

VOICE: Because presidents have accepted that there could be both an understanding of Congress and the presidency. That it is in the best interest of the American people to have certain kinds of issues, handled by experts. Who, and I think you -- in your colloquy, Justice Kagan, have identified the fact that these boards are not only experts, but they're also nonpartisan. So the -- the seats are actually distributed in such a way, that we are presumably eliminating political influence because we're trying to get to science and data and actual facts, related to how these decisions are made.

And so the real risk, I think, of allowing non- -- of allowing these kinds of decisions to be made by the president, of saying, everybody can just be removed when I come in, is that we will get away from those very important policy considerations.

VOICE: We will get away from US policy considerations, and it will create opportunities for all kinds of problems that Congress and prior presidents wanted to avoid, risks that flow inevitably, just given human nature, the realities of the world that we live in.

GLENN: Okay.

Now, remember, what she's saying here is, we have to have experts.

We have to have experts. We have to have experts that don't really answer to anybody. Okay?

They're appointed. And then they're just there. This from a, quote, judicial expert, who cannot define a woman, because she's not a doctor.
She's not a scientist.

She needs an expert to define a woman.
That's how insane her thinking is. Okay?

Now, I would just like to ask the Supreme Court, when you want things run by experts, do you mean things like the State Department, or the counsel of foreign relations, that have gotten us into these endless war wars for 100 years?

Because these are the things that Woodrow Wilson wanted. He wanted the country run by experts.

Okay. So is it like the Council of Foreign Relations, that keep getting us into these endless wars.

Or is it more like the Fed, that directs our fiscal policy, that has driven us into $38 trillion of at the time. We have all powerful banks. That strangely all belong to the fed. And endless bailouts for those banks. Are those the experts that you're talking about?

Or are you talking about the experts that are doctors, that gave the country sterilizations, lobotomies, transgender surgeries. You know, or should we listen to the experts, like the ones that are now speaking in Illinois, to get us death on demand like Canada has, with their MAID assisted suicide, which is now the third largest killer in Canada. MAID, assisted suicide, third largest killer in Canada. Experts are saying, we now need it here, and they're pushing for it in Illinois. Or should we listen to the experts? And I think many of them are the same experts strangely, that brought us COVID. Yeah. That was an expert thing. They were trying to protect us. Because they need to do this for our protection. So direct from the labs in China with the help of the American experts like Fauci. We almost put the world out.

Should we listen to those guys?

Or the experts that brought us masking, and Home Depot is absolutely safe. But Ace Hardware wants to kill grandma. Which are the experts that we want? That we want to make sure that we have in our lives? That they don't answer, or can't be fired by anybody. Because I'm pretty full up on the experts, myself. I don't know.

But you're right. These experts would keep the president in check, and they would keep Congress in check. And you in check!

And the Supreme Court, which would be really great. You know, and you know who else they would keep in check? The people.

So, wow, it seems like we would just be a nation run by experts, and our Constitution would be out the window, because that's a fourth branch!

And if you don't believe me, that, you know, these experts never pay a price. Can you name a single expert?

Give me a name of an expert, that gave us any of the things that I just told you about.

Give me the name. I mean, give me the name of one of them. Give me the name of one of them that went to jail. Give me the name of one expert that has been discredited.

You know, where your name will be mud in this town. Do you know where that came from?

Your name is going to be mud. It's not M-U-D. It's M-U-D-D, that comes from Dr. Samuel Mudd. Okay? He was a docks man. He was an expert. He was that set John Wilkes Booth' broken leg. He made crutches. He let him stay there for a while. He claimed he didn't know him, but he did know him.

In fact, one of the reasons they proved it.

Is because when he pulled the boots off -- when he pulled both of his boots off, right there, in the back, you couldn't have missed it. It said "John Wilkes Booth."

He's like, I have no idea who he was.

Yeah. Well, you knew him in advance. This was a predetermined outpost where he could stay. It's clear you could know him.

The guy was still discredited, we still use his name today. Your name will be mud in this town.

And we think that it's like dirt, mixed with water kind of mud. No, it's M-U-D-D, Dr. Mudd. The expert that was so discredited, went to jail, paid for his part of the assassination of -- of Lincoln.

Give me the name of one of the experts in the last 100 years, that has brought us any of the trials and the tribulations. The things that have almost brought us to our knees. Give me the name of one of them. Can't!

Because once an expert class, they don't answer to anyone. So they never go to jail.

Wow! Doesn't that sound familiar. People never going to jail!

There's a rant that's going around right now, that I did in 2020. And everybody is like, see. He's talking about Pam Bondi.

No, no. I got to play this for you, a little later on in the program. But I want to get to the experts and what the Constitution actually says about that. Because you don't need my opinion. What you need are the actual facts. So you can stand up and say, yeah. I think Ketanji Brown Jackson is an idiot. Okay?

And she's really not an expert on anything. Especially the Constitution. You need the facts, on what the Founders said. Because the Founders would be absolutely against what they did in 1935.

Because that just -- what does it do?

It just sets up a fourth branch of government.

EXPLAINED: Why the Warner-Netflix/Paramount Merger is DANGEROUS for All of Us

The biggest media merger in modern history is unfolding, and Glenn Beck warns it’s the most dangerous consolidation of power America has faced in decades. With six corporations already controlling 90% of the nation’s news and entertainment, a Warner-Netflix or Warner-Paramount megacorporation would create an unstoppable information cartel. Glenn exposes how “too big to fail” thinking is repeating itself, how global elites and “experts” are tightening their grip, and why handing our entire cultural narrative to a handful of companies is a direct threat to freedom. The hour is late — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

GLENN: By the way, it's never good when you consolidate power. It's never good.

And what is going on now, with this Netflix Warner Brothers paramount stuff, I don't care if Larry Ellison is a conservative or not.

No one should have that much power.

I did a show, gosh, four years ago. I don't even remember when I did it.

We looked it up. In the 1980s. 19 percent of American media was owned by over 50 companies.

Forty years later, 90 percent of the media is watched and controlled by six companies.

National Amusements, the Red Stone Family controls CBS, CMT, MTV, Nickelodeon, gaming and internet. Simon & Schuster Books. That's all one.

Disney, ABC, ESPN, History Channel, Marvel, Star Wars, video games and print.

TimeWarner controls CNN, Warner Brothers, HBO, Turner, video games, internet, and print media like TIME. Comcast, MSNBC, NBC.

CNBC, Telemundo, the Internet.

New Corp. Fox. National Geographic. Ton of others. Sony, with a ton of movies, music and more. The big six. They're valued at nearly $500 billion.

Now, this is something I put together five years ago. So I don't even know. This is probably not even valid even today.

And now we're talking about Netflix, Warner Brothers. Paramount, into all of these one giant corporation. It's wrong! It's wrong!

We can't keep putting all -- everything into the hands of just a few! It's what's killing us!

We've got to spread this around. We can't -- the government cannot okay mergers like this.

They're big enough he has

What happened -- what happened when the banks went under, or almost went under in '08. What did they say the problem was?

They said the banks are too big to fail.

Too big to fail.

Because they were providing all of the services, everybody needs. All the time. And there's only a handful of them.

So if they fall, then everything falls.

Right?

That was the problem. So what did we do to fix it?

We made them bigger!

We let them merge with other banks, and gobble up other things!

And started taking on the local banks.

And so now, your banks that were too big to fail. Are now even bigger. And their failure would be even worse!

What is wrong with us?

Seriously, we're not this stupid.

We're not this stupid.

I think we're just this comfortable.

We just think the experts have a plan. No. The experts don't have a plan.

Their plan is stupid. Their plan is to make it bigger.

Every time it fails. Make it bigger. Push it up.

Make it more global.

No. Haven't you seen what the entire world is like?

The entire world is over-leveraged. The entire world is on the edge.

The entire world is being redesigned.
So what do we do? We don't allow them to make things bigger! We need to start taking more individual and local control of things. They're making it bigger. Which will make the problem bigger. And make the problem so big, you won't be able to do anything about it, because all the experts. All of the heads. They'll all -- there will be six of them. And they will all be sitting in one room.

And they will all be making the instigations. And with them, making those decisions will be all the heads of all the countries around the world, that you're not going to have a say in any of that. They're already trying to do it with the WEF.

But if -- if the Supreme Court says, no, experts matter. And the president can't fire them. You will not have any control over anything!

We're at this place, where we can back out. We can turn around.

We can do it.

It's not too late. But the hour is growing very late.

I don't know about you, I don't like being this.

Up to the edge, you know what I mean?

I would rather have lots of breathing room, between me and the edge of the cliff.

But we don't have that anymore.

Everything has to be done right.

And we have to pay attention.

And the worst thing we can do is make things bigger.

Dream big, think small.
