Supreme Court Justice Makes CRAZY Argument for MORE Censorship?!

During the Supreme Court hearing on Murthy v. Missouri, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson tried to argue that the government’s First Amendment rights were under attack. According to her, the government should have the ability under the First Amendment to pressure social media companies to censor people. But Glenn had some other thoughts. If the government can violate your rights when there’s “trouble,” Glenn argues, then you don’t have rights. Glenn lays out how that’s NOT the US Constitution. That’s the SOVIET Constitution.

GLENN: Well, I don't know if you heard Justice Jackson yesterday.

But woo!

Was she -- she's in tune with our system of government. Here she is, yesterday, where free speech is on trial. The government is making the claim, that their free speech is being limited, because they want to tell social media what to do.

And their First Amendment rights, are being trampled on.

Just so you know, the government doesn't have First Amendment rights. The First Amendment right goes to the people. And it says, that the government can't tell you what you can say and what you can't say.

Here is justice brown Jackson yesterday.

VOICE: Justice Jackson.

VOICE: My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways, in the most important time periods.

I mean, what would -- what would you have the government do? I've heard you say a couple of times, that the government can post its own speech.

But in my hypothetical. You know, kids, this is not safe. Don't do it is not going to get it done.

And so I guess some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country.

GLENN: Right.

VOICE: And you seem to be suggesting that that duty cannot manifest itself in the government encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information. So can you help me?

Because I'm really worried about that. Because you've got the First Amendment operating.

GLENN: Okay. Sure. Uh-huh.

VOICE: In an environment of threatening circumstances, from the government's perspective. And you're saying that the government can't interact with the source of those problems.

GLENN: Okay. Sure.

I would love to help you with that. I would love to help you with that. Let me help you.

And I appreciate your asking for help. Don't usually experience that, you know, cry for help on understanding any of the amendments, let alone the first one from a Supreme Court justice. But I appreciate your willingness to say, I really don't have a clue as to what I'm doing here.

See, we have a Bill of Rights, that was built -- our country is built, up like any other country in the world.

And our Bill of Rights came from a -- a Founding Era, where they had been really living under the thumb of a tyrant. And so they knew tyranny firsthand. And it made them very, very skittish about governments, and what they could do.

Because when governments speak, that's one thing. The government can speak, and say, hey. This is bad. You shouldn't do this.

But when governments coerce people, especially businesses, well, they've got an awful lot of power.

And that can turn into tyranny quickly.

Now, the -- the Bill of Rights was written, and especially the First Amendment, was -- was written, for those bad times.

You know, you -- I know you're worried about, well, these -- I mean, freedom of speech is great. Unless things are, you know, troubled.

Well, okay. But that's why think wrote this down.

Our documents are a negative charter of liberties.

So it means that the Bill of Rights, apply to the citizens, but not to the governments. The government cannot do anything to violate these rights. And if, you know, it changes when there's trouble, or when the government feels there's trouble, well, then, you don't really have the right, do you?

And I really don't have any shackles, on the presidency. The administration, or the government.

What you have, actually, is another Constitution, written in 1936. It was really great. Because of the way it -- I mean, it was way advanced.

All voting restrictions were taken off. Universal direct suffrage. The right to work.

Guaranteed by the previous Constitution. In addition, to 1936, and, by the way, I'm not talking about Germany. Okay.

1936. The Constitution recognized the collective and economic rights. Including the right to work. The right to rest. The health protection.

Care in old age. And in sickness. The right to housing and education and cultural benefits.

It was really a cutting edge Constitution. Because everybody wants that stuff, right?

You have a universal right to it.

And all of the government bodies, had to help provide those things, because you, the citizen have a right.

And they want right direct election, of all government bodies. And they -- they reorganized it, at 36.

And they just -- they streamlined the government. You know, so there wasn't a lot of red tape. So Article 122, in the -- in the Constitution, said that women, are accorded equal rights with men.

Now, this is 1936.

Think about how advanced this is.

Women have equal rights with men, in all spheres of economic, state, cultural, social, and political life.

In fact, they were really the first one to make sure that there was, you know, kindergartens, and a universal right to kindergarten, and maternity leave, and prematernity, and protection of the mom and her interests.

It was really, really good. In article 122. In 123. That was the equal rights for all citizens.

It was -- it was equity for everybody. Irrespective of their nationality or their race.

In all spheres of life. And they wanted to make sure that there was racial inclusiveness, and no hatred, or contempt. Or restrictions of rights and privileges on account of nationality or race.

And if you did any of these hate crimes, it was punishable by law. So this is now the -- the Soviet Constitution of 1936. And it was the longest running Constitution of the Soviet Union. And it was great. Article 124, guaranteed freedom of religion.

Including the separation of church and state. And school from church.

And 124, it ensured all citizens the freedom of conscience. Freedom of religious worship. And freedom of any anti-reckless propaganda, recognized for all citizens. Which was nice, and in 124, Stalin, in the face of real stiff opposition there, eventually said, you know what, maybe we should talk to the Russian orthodox church. Maybe we should allow them to exist. And he did, kind of. But it was all within the Constitution. Because see, this Constitution is a Constitution of positive liberties. Unlike ours, negative liberties. Telling the government what it cannot do. Theirs is a positive liberty. All the things the government must do.

And article 125. Remember, this is 1936. Article 125 of the Constitution, guaranteed freedom of speech in the press. And freedom of assembly.

Then they said, look, the Communist Party really needs to come together.

And we can have diversity in the Communist Party. But it's only one party in the free elections. So you could -- you could do that.

Now, this Constitution, was written in 1936.

And it was thoroughly democratic. Thoroughly democratic.

I mean, yeah. Once the writers of the Constitution. And the organizers, you know, finished it. They were imprisoned, and/or executed right after. Because they were counterrevolutionaries. And, you know, you have to get rid of those people.

There were some people that were just too radical. And they were the writers of the Constitution. But, you know, that's an old dusty document.

Sure, it was written last week. But they didn't foresee everything.

So they started the great -- the great terror.

Is what it's called.

I don't know what happened during the great terror.

But it coincided with the signing of the new Constitution.

But everybody was protected. You could say whatever you want.

You know, you could look at the great terror, or the subcategory of the great purge.

And say, hey. You know what, they're stepping on those rights. There. Those people.

But they are people that the state really doesn't. You know, the state really needs some authority to be -- sure, you have a right to speak. You know, you have the enjoyment of rights and freedoms of citizens. But, I'm just quoting the Constitution, not to the detriment of the interests of society. Or the state.

So if you saw something, you know, like Ketanji -- whatever her name is. Jackson brown. Jackson -- whatever her name is.

I love her. And she is right.

When the state has an interesting, because the state knows best, then we have to, you know, restrain people from saying things. So let me just -- let me just quote article 39. Enjoyment of the rights and freedoms of citizens must not be to the detriment of the interests of society, or the state.

Amen! That's what she's saying. I mean, they've been saying this since 1936 in the Soviet Union. Article 59 obliged citizens to obey all the laws and comply with the standards of the socialist society as determined by the party. So if the party said, you know, let's just say, we can mutilate your children.

You can speak out about that. I mean, you're going to have to go to jail for it.

Because it will be a hate crime.

In fact, hate crimes were even mentioned specifically, in that 19 -- they were so far ahead.

They were just -- they were just way, way, way, way, way ahead. Because they were already on those hate crimes. You know, you don't have a -- you don't have a right to say, you know.

For instance, here it is. Quote, the Constitution prohibits incitement of hatred or hostility on any religious ground.

So you couldn't just, you know, say to the Bible. Bible says this.

If it incited hatred. So -- and the Constitution, you know, gave -- you have a freedom of conscience. You can do that.

You can profess or not profess any religion.

And you can conduct religious worship or atheistic propaganda. As long -- and I'm quoting. As long as it's in the interest of the state. You see.

Because they know better. They know better.

So Ketanji, I just -- I'm trying to help you. Because you asked for help yesterday. Which I find just so refreshing. That a talk show host, that is a recovering alcoholic and former DJ, who is just completely self-educated, you know, knows this stuff, better than a Supreme Court justice. But I think that's great, that, you know, you're humble enough to say, I don't know my ass from my elbow. I think that's great. I really do. I really do.

So let's just remember, the government, you know -- we have inalienable rights. What does that mean?

I don't know. Something about aliens from space, Ketanji. No.

Means no man can change those rights. Alter those rights. Or take away. That's what inalienable means.

And in the Soviet Union, they didn't that have, okay?

They didn't have inalienable rights. You as a citizen can, and I'm quoting. Enjoy rights. When the exercise of these rights, do not interfere with the interests of the state, and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, they alone have the power and authority to determine policies for the government and society.

What a utopia that is. Man, if we could just model our Constitution on something as open-minded as this, we would certainly be fixed. Kind of in the way, my dog was fixed. But we would be fixed all right.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

WARNING: The Fusion of AI with Human Beings Will Put Our Souls at Stake

Humanity is racing toward a future where artificial intelligence, brain implants, genetic engineering, and robotics merge into a new post-human species. Glenn Beck and Timothy Alberino warn this “upgrade” may cost us the one thing we can’t replace: our humanity. With AI soon operating inside the brain and artificial wombs being used for reproduction, the world is entering a hybrid age that threatens to erase what it even means to be human. This is not a tech revolution, it’s a civilizational crossroads.

Why Democrats' FAKE OUTRAGE over "The Epstein Files" is About to Backfire on Them

The fight over releasing the Epstein records has exploded into one of the biggest transparency battles in Washington. Republicans say Democrats deliberately blocked the vote to fast-track disclosure, raising questions about what the party is trying to hide — and why the timing matters so much. Glenn Beck breaks down why both sides are terrified of what might be revealed, how Trump’s call to “release everything” changed the political calculus, and why the banking records may hold the real truth behind Epstein’s power.

GLENN: Johnson. Can we bring this up, Sara?

Johnson is live. And he's talking about transparency.

VOICE: Concerned as we were about all this. As we've insisted from the very beginning. Republicans are the only party trying to ensure maximum transparency. By the way, I will just tell you, I put the bill on the floor of unanimous consent last Wednesday night. And guess who objected to it? The Democrats.

Okay?

If they were so -- if this was so urgent. And they were so concerned about getting this done, and seeing justice be done and all of that, they would have not blocked the request. Okay?

This is about politics. They -- they blocked our unanimous consent motion to expedite our bill and made us waste all of this additional time.

Republicans are ready to get the job done, to move forward so we can continue to get on these important issues dealing with what the American people demand and deserve for us to deal with.

And so I want to leave you with this thought: Everybody should think long and hard about who is acting truthfully, honestly, and in good faith. It is not in the Democrat Party that has obfuscated and blatantly lied the last four years about all these things. It's not the Democrats who shut down the government and for their own selfish political purposes. It's not the Democrats who blocked the passage of this discharge a week ago because they wanted to have a political moment.

It is the Republicans who are acting in good faith. And I believe the American people are going to see that. And understand that.

I'm going to vote to move this forward.

I think it could be close to a unanimous vote because everybody here, all the Republicans want to go on record to show they're for maximum transparency. But they also want to know, that we're demanding that this stuff get corrected before it's ever -- moves through the process. And is completed.

GLENN: I think that's fascinating.

JUSTIN: I sincerely hope my Democrat colleagues will show the same level of urgency and enthusiasm when it comes to tackling the real issues facing the country that we have to get to.

GLENN: Okay. Top.

Stu, how -- how do the Democrats vote against this?

STU: As far as the -- the bill to expose the Epstein files?

I mean, I don't think they will in the end.

I don't think they will.

GLENN: You think it will be unanimous?

STU: I don't think it will be unanimous.

But I do think that it will pass when -- when it goes through. I -- I do think, it will get a lot of votes too. Because now people are cushioned. Right?

It's easy. No problems, really. Now that Trump has said, release it. There's really nobody opposing it outside of -- they probably want to make sure that they get everybody on record. So they're opposing the unanimous consent vote.

That's my guess, of their strategy there.

But, you know, what a surprise!

JASON: Personally, I think the Democrats walked into a huge trap on this, personally.

I think it's too politically dangerous for them to vote against it.

Although, I do feel like there will be more pushback, than some people could expect on this.

I think a lot of people will flip and vote against it. To me, it's desperation. What they did, last week. Or the past couple of weeks.

Come on! Redacting certain names within these emails. Just blowing past certain journalists that are considered on their side. That were allegedly coaching Epstein.

I mean, being willing to put that out there, is massive desperation.

I think President Trump set a trap for them on this.

I think it was sprung when he flipped. And said, no. We're releasing it. It just feels all too perfect for me.

I think the Democrats are terrified of some of the things that could be coming out of this.

Not to say, that it would be, like, very, very damning. But very, very embarrassing for a lot of them. That's what I'm expecting.

And I'm fully thinking there will be a floodgate of a lot of this stuff. They made a huge miscalculation, in my opinion, on doing that act of desperation.

STU: Why wouldn't Trump then want to -- why wouldn't he want to release these previously?

I mean, seeming, it does seem like when Donald Trump has an opportunity to make Democrats look bad, he's pretty -- he'll take it. He -- he likes that. Why wouldn't he have been in favor of this from the beginning if they actually had stuff on the Democrats?

GLENN: I don't think anything bad on the Democrats is actually there. I mean, really bad.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: I think there's some embarrassing stuff from both sides.

But, you know, mainly for the Democrats. But there's not going to be a smoking gun on Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton or any of the big ones.

This is the way it always happens. The real kingpins always get away. It's just the underlings. And it will be the underlings that aren't real popular. That's what will happen. That are spendable. That maybe they want to get rid of in small districts.

The Democrats want to get rid of. Because the tells me could have cleaned all of this up, during Biden.

Whatever they wanted to do. They could have gotten rid of it.

STU: Glenn, can we talk for a second of how Trump is talking about this?

Because, obviously, we've talked about it as a big priority before the campaign. And now he's president of the United States.

And now he's used the term Epstein hoax. And all of that, several times.

I noticed in the clip we played earlier. That he started to clean that up, a little bit. And he said, the Epstein hoax.

It's a hoax, as it applies to Republicans.

And he started to kind of change his language on that a little bit. Which I find to be interesting.

I think smart. Because the American people don't think this is a nothing story.

They don't think this is a hoax. They don't think that the idea that that Epstein did these terrible things. Is something that is a nothing story to us right now.

But I think the way Trump thinks about it, is he's trying to deal with what's going on right now. And it's like, if we were -- if we unearthed a bunch of text messages from Jeffrey Dahmer to Nancy Pelosi. That would be a big story.

It would be important to find out why Jeffrey Dahmer and Nancy Pelosi were trading text messages. But that being said, it wouldn't be the number one issue of the president of the United States. Because it -- you know, Jeffrey Dahmer is long dead. Right?

Whatever was going on back then. We should know about it, but it's not necessarily as important right now as bringing down prices and making sure our economy doesn't spin out of control.

Or, you know, the Middle East. Or whatever else Trump is dealing with.

So I think Trump sees it. He keeps using hoax. I think to him, he really sees it as a distraction to the things he's actually trying to get accomplished. When at the end of the day, it's an important story.

About the, you know, they're lying about it constantly in the media. And it's just become a distraction from what he really wants to get accomplished. You buy that?

GLENN: I mean, look at what we accomplished over the last week.

Ever since the -- ever since the -- the -- the Democrats voted to open the government again. The very next day, it was Epstein, and we're still talking about Epstein.

And that's why he's changed. That's why he's changed. He knows, that this is just not going to go away. And I think he alluded to it in his statement yesterday, it's still not going to go away. It's never going to be enough. It's never going to be enough.

But let's just release everything. And show you what it is. And, you know, if there is anything there, about the Democrats.

I don't think it will be about Bill Clinton. I think it will be about smaller Democrats.

And Democrats that are passed their prime or out. You know, I just don't think they're going to be -- they're going to be anything that's big in it.

Maybe. But I don't think so. I think where you will find big things. Was yesterday. Or the day before. Was he was going to look into the banking records. He wants to see all of Epstein's transactions. And who was sending money where, et cetera, et cetera.

That's where you're going to start seeing some names. If they go into the banking records.

I mean, look what happened -- what was the bank? Was it J.P. Morning Chase, that was Epstein's bank?

I can't remember. I hate to say that. Because it may not be. Will you look that up real quick?

You know, they went into the banking records, and then, you know, there were lawsuits about that. And then all of a sudden, just kind of went away. I don't even what happened with that. Hmm. What?

You're banking. Huh?

JASON: JPMorgan and Deutsche.

GLENN: Yeah. And I think that's where you're going to find stuff. That's where the bodies will be find. Because the banking records will be the banking records, and you won't get rid of those.

Inside America's political institutions: Scott Jennings reveals the truth

CNN contributor Scott Jennings joins Glenn Beck to reveal what’s really happening inside America’s political institutions. Jennings explains why Trump still commands an unbreakable base, how AI and China may define the next Cold War, and why Democrats are pushing the country deeper into ideological chaos.

GLENN: Scott Jennings. Welcome to the program!
How are you?

SCOTT: Sir, I'm great. It's an honor to be with you. I've been a long time fan and an admirer of yours. To be with you today, it's very special for me.

So thanks for the invitation.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

Well, you are more than welcome.

I have to tell you, I was just about to say, I don't know what your life is like. But I know exactly what your life is like.

Because I worked there. And it was a lonely, lonely place, but you are doing an amazing job. Really, an amazing job!

SCOTT: Well, thank you for saying that. And I have to say, you know, I credit CNN for creating this 10 o'clock debating show, where I most often appear.

And giving conservatives a chance to fight it out. And I think PB is kind of boring, when it's just six people sitting around, congratulating themselves on increasing levels of smugness. I think a little debate and a little common sense injected into some of the conversations and a little reframing of some of these debates is exactly what they need. And I think there's a hunger for that kind of content out there.

I'm glad they're doing it, and it's a privilege to see right now.
GLENN: So are there days, you walk away going, I just can't do it? I mean, there has to be.

SCOTT: Well, I usually have to meet people who say crazy things. I was on not too long ago with a guy, who was a real-life ear truther. He did not believe that Donald Trump had been shot in Butler, Pennsylvania. And he said to me live on the air, "Well, I wasn't there, how am I supposed to know?"

And I thought, "This is who I'm dealing with." And I debate people who if not but for me, contractually obligated to do so, wouldn't know or interact with a single other Republican. I'm the only one they know!

GLENN: I know.

SCOTT: I think if you're interested in popping ideological bubbles like I am and like I know you are, it's a good thing to do. It does make me shake my head. I do think there's value. I mean, I believe in our ideas.

And I think if our ideas get out to more people, more people will gravitate to our cause.

GLENN: I agree. All right.

So let's talk a little bit about the book, Revolution of Common Sense.

You say that your dad was the first one that said, "Donald Trump is going to win."

And this is early on! You laughed it off.

Said that he's not going to win. Is that true?

SCOTT: I did. That's absolutely true. My father was the biggest Clinton Democrat I knew. I come from a family of Democrats. He was a factory worker and a garbage man. And even though, I was a Republican political operative. My father was a Democrat for a long time. In 2015, my dad was telling me, "It's going to be Trump." I, like everybody else, who had been trained in the old ways, was like, you know, come on, Dad. And he turned out to be right. But he was sort of the leading indicator for me about what was going to happen in Middle America.

All these working-class Americans, who live in hollowed out communities. That feel like the political elites that have left them behind.

That was my dad. And he was speaking to my dad. As you know, he was speaking to millions of people. And he defeated the Republican establishment. Then he defeated the democratic establishment.

And it was because of people like my dad who recognized in him, we're trying to hire somebody to smash these guys who had forgotten about us and be crushed us.

And my Dad knew it. It's not the only time in my life, where my Dad was right, and I was wrong. I can tell you that.

GLENN: Yeah. You spent a lot of time with Donald Trump when you were writing this book. Did you know him beforehand?

SCOTT: I did not. I met him, really for the first time in February when I pitched him on the book, and got to observe him in action in the Oval Office.

I flew with him. You know, it's funny. He kind of dominated, you know, every conversation I've had in my professional life for the last 10 years.

But I didn't really know him. But I did spend some time with him in the White House.

I flew to Michigan with him on his 100th day in office. He gave a speech in Michigan, that day. And he said something true to his inaugural address.

He said, whether you're on the left or whether you're on the right. Whether you're in the middle. It's just common sense.

And I think the rebranding of the party as the common sense party has allowed so many more people in.

I think it's one of the most genius, political marketing moves in American history.

GLENN: Yeah. It's amazing. Because he's not -- he's want saying -- he's not necessarily making a case for being conservative or anything else.

It's just, he is fighting for the things that we all used to think, well, yeah. That makes sense.

No. That's a dude. He can't shower with my daughter.

You know, it's that kind of stuff, that should be really uniting.

Why is he -- why do they hate him so much?

SCOTT: Because I think they believe, the left believes, that they had control of all the institutions. Universities. Media. They were either taking control of corporate America.

When you look around at all the institutional strength in our country, the left has been on a long project to co-opt, infiltrate, and paint these things over.

And Donald Trump, and, of course, while doing that. They make you believe things.

You have to accept that you can wake up and change your gender one day. You have to accept, you know, the DEI nonsense.

You have to accept our radical ideology. Or we'll ostracize you from this institution. Or we'll crush you.

Trump shows up, and says, I just won't put up with it. And there were millions of Americans who were dying for someone to try to restore sanity to these I think these conversations, that you rightly say, just used to be common sense.

He said what everyone else was thinking.

But everybody had been made basically too afraid to say. Because of punishment.

Cultural punishment.

Trump was their champion. And he still is today. And that's why he has a base that's never going to leave him.

Because he knows, they know, that he's never going to ever back down to this mob, that is going to try to turn everything upside down, and tell you right is wrong. Left is right, and red is blue. And up is down.

That's what they want. And he will not allow it. And whoever we nominate, next, will not allow it either. Because they will come right back.

GLENN: What do you think his strongest ability is, and the one that maybe is something you're seeing coming on the horizon.

Like, he's got to be paying attention to this. Got to fix this!

SCOTT: Well, I think this artificial intelligence conversation, he has a really strong handle on.

I think he knows, we cannot allow the Chinese to control this conversation.

I think he knows what we have to do on the energy front, to win this conversation.

I think his vision on that.

When we think about legacy. This may be the most consequently policy making he see.

I also think that --

GLENN: I told him, I thought he would be remembered as the AI president.

And he said, nah. I'm not going to be that's not my thing.

GLENN: I asked him a couple -- maybe a month ago. You know, to a consider the AI race to be your space race?

Is this that big?

Is it your Cold War?

And he said, it's all that wrapped up and more!

GLENN: Wow. Good for him.

SCOTT: He's increasingly understanding that the decisions he makes today. The course we set today.

Will determine. So in ten years, 15 years, when we control this. It's the free world, that's on top of the AI situation. And not the communist Chinese, it will be because of Donald Trump. And so I think he's setting all that in motion today. I also think what he's doing in the Middle East, and standing up to the barbarians. I mean, it's amazing to me, the propaganda campaign that went on after October the 7th. And how the west. Western governments and western media sided with the barbarians. If you go there and listen to what happened. And it's been total propaganda. But Trump had total moral clarity on this. He's standing up to the people who would leave this world in darkness, ideologies that are the enemy of human liberty, and he knows it. And he's been totally clear on this.

And so I think too, occasionally someone has to stand up and say, no. Enough is enough.

And he did that. And he it did strategically at the right time. I think it will pay dividends for years to come.

GLENN: Spending the time with him, what did you feel was something that maybe surprised you and something that you think, gosh, if America just understood this one thing, it might change things.

SCOTT: Well, the caricature of him, would lead you to believe that he's not a good listener, or that he's not someone that absorbs a lot of information that informs his opinion. I came away with totally opposite review.

I watched him, listened to people having debates. He asked questions. He kind of lobs in his views.

But he really does absorb I think these debates among his excellent cabinet. And the excellent staff that he has. And then he makes the decision.

What's great about this president. Versus the last one. He's decisive. Once he listens and takes in everything, he makes a decision, and that's what they do. Biden was famously indecisive, which leads to weakness. Which of course leads to the disaster of that administration. But Trump doesn't suffer from that.

That's myth number one. Myth number two.

This man is genuinely funny. He is warm. He is hospitable. You know, talking about my Dad. When we were together once, he had his hat on. His famous red hat. And he said, you want my hat?

And I said, no. But I know someone who does. It was the first man to ever tell me you were going to be president. And he said, "Sounds like a smart guy."

GLENN: Wow. Wow. That's cool.

SCOTT: He took the hat right off his head. So he's actually a warm, nice, funny person. And of course, the caricature of him painted by the media is that he wouldn't believe it. Hey, I lived through this, when I worked for President Bush. They caricatured him. And as adults as well.

Totally not true. They caricatured Dick Cheney. The caricatured Mitt Romney. They take our Republicans, and they turn them into something they're not.

And, of course, that's -- that's the power of the left, when they control cultural institutions.

So I think they've done it to Trump to some degree. Of course, his personality tends to cut through the clutter sometimes.

GLENN: You would be surprised. Next time you see him, it could be a year from now. And he's going to ask you how your Dad was. You watch.

SCOTT: I know. I watched him interact with people in that way. It is an innate political talent. And the good ones have it.

And he has it. He does care about people. I watched him do it. And he's loyal to people too.

GLENN: He does.

What do you think the -- the -- the thing that is happening now, that should be paid attention to, that maybe the media is missing.

What's thing that is most overblown and most underplayed?

SCOTT: Oh, gosh, well, I think the thing we ought to be paying attention to on the left is the energy and radicalism on the left.

You know, the elections the other day.

I said on CNN the other night. I thought this was the beginning of the ending of Chuck Schumer.

It's really the beginning of the end of any semblance of any shred of the possibility of returning to sanity in the democratic party. I mean, look at how they treat John Fetterman for simply occasionally saying something that is basic common sense. Or having a back bone. The energy in the socialist -- radical socialist movement on the left is real! Happened in New York. It happened in Seattle. They elected a mayor out there. Who lives in her parents' basement. That got elected on the power of the socialist agenda. AOC is the leader of this faction. Bernie Sanders is the intellectual godfather of it. And these people will change America. They think the American experiment was rotten at its core. They think it ought to be ripped out root and branch and replaced with something that neither you nor I would recognize as American. They fundamentally hate the system that we have lived with for 250 years in this country.

And I don't think we can understate how much energy they have on the left right now. How much momentum they're feeling.

And so I know we talk about it. And, you know, we've talked about the rise of socialism before. The urgency right now, as we head away from the Trump era. And we get into an open presidential election in '28. We cannot allow our country to be taken over.

So that's -- that's number one. Number two, it's being overblown.

I think the Democrats trying to pin the affordability tail on Donald Trump is the most laughable thing I've ever heard.

They took prices to the moon. Gas was $5. Grocery prices. Health care, craziness. They took prices to the moon. And they want to pin this on Donald Trump. And pin this on Republicans.

Give me a break. And so the media buying into this is totally overblown. But we have to fight back hard, or we will have a rough ride in '26.

The Book of Enoch: Did Extraterrestrial Beings DESCEND in the Days of Noah?!

The Book of Enoch tells a story the Bible only hints at: A story of heavenly beings who descended to Earth, took human wives, created hybrid giants, and unleashed forbidden knowledge that corrupted the world before the Flood. Glenn Beck and researcher Timothy Alberino break down how the ancient Hebrew worldview explains the Watchers, the Nephilim, the origins of demigod myths, and why Peter and Jude referenced Enoch directly in the New Testament. From extraterrestrial terms in Scripture to the cosmic “family of God” and the divine rebellion that reshaped human history, this discussion reveals a forgotten narrative that once defined early Jewish and Christian theology. What really happened in the days of Noah, and why does it matter now?
