What we know about the spread of MONKEYPOX so far

If you've read recent articles published about monkeypox, you’re probably scared out of your mind. But despite what the fear-mongering press claims, monkeypox is still FAR from rampant throughout the U.S. In fact, currently there are only 92 cases (and 28 more suspected) outside of Africa. But the origin of this disease — specifically, how and why it suddenly spread to the West — is something scientists are working hard to determine. Glenn gives the latest details on what we know so far…

GLENN: What are you going to do today, Stu? What are you going to do?

It could be our last day. This monkey pox is spreading like wildfire.

STU: It's everywhere.

GLENN: Everywhere.

STU: Every surface you touch is 80 percent monkey pox.

GLENN: Monkey pox.

STU: That is science.

GLENN: Okay. So let me just go through some of the articles that I read, just to prepare for this show today. And I warn you, they're very, very scary.

President Biden raised alarm on Sunday, about monkey -- I should do this. Monkey pox.

It's a viral infection fast spreading around the world. And he warned that the disease which can be spread as easily through handling a contaminated object, is something that everybody should be concerned about.

Monkey pox! Rarely seen outside of Africa, has found in recent weeks, a home in Europe and the United States.

Stu, do you know how many people have monkey pox right now in the United States?

STU: How many people in the -- it's 330 million. 329 million have monkey pox right now. Right now. If you're listening to this right now, you have it.

GLENN: Really?

STU: Yes. You have it.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. I'm so worried about it.

STU: I can see it on you. It's crawling all over you, the monkey pox.

GLENN: As of Saturday, the 92 cases, and 28 suspected cases, have been identified in 12 countries, outside of the African nations, where it happens all the time.

STU: Poor Africa. They're like -- it's a real panic now. Because it's no longer there. When it was there, we didn't seem to care about it much at all. Because it's hitting Africans. But now we're very concerned about it.

GLENN: I know. I know. There's been one confirmed case in the United States. A man in Boston was diagnosed last week. But public health officials believed case numbers will soon increase.

And even though it's only occasionally fatal, the speed at which the monkey pox virus is spreading. Has raised fear of another pandemic, that would further strain health services already stretched so thin, because of COVID-19.

And the CDC says there's no proven safe treatment for monkey pox. What are we going to do!

Now, that's the first story. Then you get into the next story. This one from the Daily Mail. Held between May 5th. And May 15th. The gay pride, the Canary Islands gay pride attraction, brings visitors in from across the continent.

It was attended by people who have tested positive for monkey pox.

STU: For what?

GLENN: Monkey pox.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: This is according to the public health service over in England.

The Canary Islands now investigating any links between the cases and LGBT plus celebrations. Among the 30 or so, diagnosed in Madrid. There are several who attended the event. Although, it's not yet possible to know, if one of them is patient zero of this outfit. Or if they all got infected there. There are two suspected cases of men in the Canary Islands. One with links to the LGBT plus festival. I don't know what happened to the two people --

STU: What about the IA? The double Q?

GLENN: Yeah, they're out too. They're probably all dead from monkey pox.

STU: What?

GLENN: I'm sorry. From monkey pox!

STU: It hit the two spirits first. That, we know.

GLENN: Okay. So here's the thing: The next story, three confirmed cases of monkey pox have been linked to a homosexual fetish festival in Belgium.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: The Darklands Festival in Antwerp.

That doesn't sound like a place to go -- hey. What are you doing this weekend?

Well, mom, I was thinking about going to the dark lands festival in Antwerp. You just know, it's not -- mom is not going to approve.

STU: There's not going to be any hotel rooms available. Both things are tragic.

GLENN: All right. So it's been linked to all three confirmed cases of the disease in Belgium, following four days of partying that began May 5th, according to AFP.

The festivals organizers said on their website, the Belgium government had asked them to inform attendees as the outbreak was likely caused by a festival goer bringing the sickness in from abroad.

So somebody was in Africa. Or apparently, in Spain. And they had the monkey pox.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: And then they started having sexual with people. And then at these festivals and other things that have not been identified yet.

They were having sex and -- and rubbing their pox on other people.

STU: They're rubbing their pox?

GLENN: Well, that's what has been to happen. You have to have the open weeping soars. And rub it on somebody.

It's great!

Now, the World Health Organization, says it expects to identify more cases of magic -- monkey pox.

(laughter)

GLENN: That was weird.

STU: That's also the actual fat finger problem, that you did. You did the Homer Simpson.

GLENN: It was. As of Sunday, ninety-two confirmed cases, twenty-eight suspected cases of monkey pox have been recorded, 12 member states, available information, suggests that human to human transmission is occurring among people in close, physical contact with cases, who are symptomatic.

STU: So my understanding of the monkey pox. I don't have the he can do zero on that --

GLENN: Monkey pox.

STU: Is that it's not a sexually transmitted disease, per se. Like AIDS.

GLENN: Yeah. No. You could have it -- you could have it. And go, give me a big hug. I haven't seen you in a while.

STU: It's close intimate contact. Not necessarily sexual contact.

But close contact where you're touching with them. You could have it with a hug or kiss.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: So sex certainly qualifies --

GLENN: So if we would just -- yes. It does.

Vigorous.

STU: Vigorous. Vigorous extended hugging.

GLENN: Here's the thing. You don't want the monkey pox.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: Stay away from people with open, weepy soars. Okay?

Don't have sex with strangers. Here's one. If you --

STU: Is that a hard and fast rule?

GLENN: That's pretty much, yeah. If you happen to have open, weepy soars.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: You should go to the hospital. That's pretty much how we're going to get around this, I think. You know.

STU: Yeah. So it doesn't have to -- honest question, here. Do you actually have to be showing signs of monkey pox to pass it.

GLENN: It's my understanding. However -- well, I am a doctor. So I can do speak with great authority on this.

STU: You won't -- you're not really a Doctor of Medicine. But you're more of a Jill Biden-esque doctor.

GLENN: No. I'm a doctor of humanities. Who is affected by this. Monkeys and?

STU: Humans. I don't think that's how that works.

GLENN: So, anyway, here's the thing, it's my understanding that the soars are the key here.

Now, maybe you can get it from kissing and saliva. I don't know.

STU: You will have to stop kissing strangers. No!

GLENN: Yes. We are. We're going to have to, unless you want the monkey pox. Then we're all going to get it, and we're all going to die.

Now, I think this is the important thing here. The council of Europe's parliamentary assembly voted late last week, to uphold a scathing report that announced virulent attacks against LGBTQ people, regarding the monkey pox. It's apparently, people are pointing out, I think it would -- I mean, if it's a fact. I would like to know, where else these things are being contracted. But so far, we know that those two places, the two festivals, one in the -- in Spain, or the Canary Islands. And one in Antwerp. Both fetish festivals. That's where it's coming from. So far. Now, there may be other places. But so far, those are the places that everybody knows. So it's not really a hate crime, when you're pointing out, where a deadly disease is being spread.

STU: People are -- these the people are so invested and obsessed with identity. Like this.

GLENN: No, I know.

STU: Everything turns into a race. It's a sexual preference type of issue. It's just infuriating. My understanding -- and I will say, it's limited. My understanding of monkey pox is limited.

GLENN: Shut up. Really?

STU: There's a limit to the knowledge I have about monkey pox.

GLENN: Well, we'll keep that in mind.

STU: So we'll take that with a grain of salt. But my understanding of the situation, correct me if I'm wrong on that, doctor.

GLENN: I worked hard for that.

STU: It's not like a covid. It's not one of these things that gets spread in mass numbers, from viral particles floating in the air. It's extended, close personal contact of some sort.

GLENN: Yeah. Let's say you had the pox. Which you're the most likely to have it. If we were giving each other, very long, expended naked hugs.

STU: That's true. Which I don't foresee at any point.

GLENN: Which I don't foresee either. But I would be the one who would be like, oh. You've got open, weepy soars.

I don't think I'm going to hug you today. At least for a long period of time.

STU: Right. Minimum contact. Totally fine.

GLENN: Reason. Maybe just a quick hug.

STU: But you don't want to extend that contact. Under any circumstances. Monkey pox is not --

GLENN: Now from the Associated Press in London, scientists, who have monitored numerous outbreaks of monkey pox in Africa, say they are baffled by the disease's recent spread in Europe and North America. Cases of the smallpox related disease have previously been seen only among people with links to central and West Africa. But in the past week, Britain, Spain, Portugal, Italy, U.S., Sweden, and Canada, all reported infections, mostly in young men, who haven't previously traveled to Africa.

There are about 80 confirmed cases worldwide. Fifty more suspected. The World Health Organization said, France, Germany, Belgium, Australia, reported their first cases on Friday. This doctor said, I am stunned by this. Every day, I wake up, and there are more countries infected. He's a virologist, who formerly headed the Nigerian Academy of Science, and who sits on several WHO advisory boards.

This is not the kind of spread we've seen in West Africa. So there may be something new happening, in the West.

So they don't see this spread in Africa. Like this. So somehow or another, it jumped from Africa, and mutated.

STU: Wait. Is that what they're saying?

GLENN: Doesn't that sound like -- this is not the kind of spread we've seen in West Africa. There must be something new happening in the West. So somebody got it. Uh-huh.

And then had sex, perfect cis sex. That icky kind of cis sex, and -- and then it mutated. And now it's everywhere.

STU: And your cis sex that you're calling icky, sarcastically is the C-I-S. Not the S-I-S. That one you actually do think is icky.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: It's hard to --

GLENN: Well, yeah.

STU: Clarifying our terms here.

GLENN: If you want to be a bigot and --

STU: That's true. Maybe it's not okay to say it.

GLENN: Yeah. It's probably not.

STU: Probably not. Because my understanding, again, of monkey pox is limited. But my understanding of monkey pox in the past, is that they could always trace it to travel to western Africa.

And they're like, okay. This person went. They got a time share. You know, in Ivory Coast.

GLENN: Who doesn't?

STU: Right. You know, I've got two.

And they went, and they visited. And they got the monkey pox. And they flew it back on some airline. And now here it is. We see now two people have it, because of that direct spread this is the household. And we'll stop that chain. And it goes away. That's the typical way, monkey pox goes. Not the way it's going this time. Now, is it possible that the travel just happened to alike with multiple fetish traveling sex parties.

GLENN: I don't know. But you would be bigoted to ask that question.

STU: I would be. That's why I would not ask the doctor.

GLENN: Right. You don't ask that question. How dare you. You're the same fellow, that I think was talking about the Wuhan labs and the China virus, which it had nothing to do with China.

STU: Nothing.

GLENN: Or the laboratory.

STU: Nothing.

GLENN: And you know what is shocking. In 2020, I think, or 2021, the WHO and the -- the WEF held a war game on the next virus. And it happened to be monkey pox. And they did it again, a few months ago. And they used monkey pox as the global outbreak.

GLENN: Really?

GLENN: Now, if that's true, which it is. We verified. If that is true, and they also war gamed the first ever, coronavirus, right before covid, these guys, we should listen to them. Because they're genius.

STU: They do seem to see the future.

GLENN: Right. They do seem to see the future. Which is weird. And that is your monkey pox update. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

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...

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.

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.
