The Glenn Beck Podcast

The Left has total control, and nobody wants to speak up. Luckily, Rep. Jim Jordan is willing to stand in their way. On this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Rep. Jordan talks to Glenn about the FBI, the swamp, the First Amendment, the Freedom Caucus, why he changed his mind on FISA, and his new book, “Do What You Said You Would Do.” What’s going to happen to Roe v. Wade? How much damage will...

Maybe Bernie AND Trump were right. Can "buying American" solve our political divide and supply chain problems? American Giant founder and CEO Bayard Winthrop believes so — and his company is living proof. He created what many in the press have dubbed “the best hoodie ever made,” and as others deal with a global supply chain nightmare, American Giant is doing just fine. But that’s not where his bus...

Like most people, science journalist Matt Ridley just wants the truth. When it comes to the origin of COVID-19, that is a tall order. Was it human-made? Did it leak from a laboratory? What is the role of gain-of-function research? Why China, why now? Ridley’s latest book, "Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19," is a scientific quest to answer these questions and more. A year ago, you would...

Wokeness has taken over the American Left — or at least the elite — and the corporate media is leading the charge. But the Left’s “Great Awokening” is actually fueling a great awakening of average liberals, this week’s guest included. Newsweek deputy opinion editor Batya Ungar-Sargon joins Glenn after taking CNN’s Brian Stelter to school about wokeness — on HIS OWN show. She reviews the biggest ta...

The events of January 6 have had constant attention from the mainstream media, yet so much about that day remains cloaked in mystery. So much just doesn’t add up. It doesn’t feel right. Darren Beattie wrote an article for www. Revolver. News titled “Meet Ray Epps: The Fed-Protected Provocateur Who Appears to Have Led the Very First 1/6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol,” which dives into some of the unex...

John Ondrasik started playing piano when he was three. Thirty years later, as Five for Fighting, he found himself playing beside his musical heroes at Madison Square Garden after his song “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” became an anthem for the fallen heroes of 9/11. On this episode of the Glenn Beck Podcast, Ondrasik and Glenn chat about music, fame, songwriting, freedom, and the strange power of “Let...

Author Michael Shellenberger knows the radical Left. In high school, he joined the Sandinistas. As an environmentalist, he worked alongside eco-anarchists. In the 1990s, he literally designed policy with George Soros. But the progressives of today scare him. The Left is attacking every single institution. These modern leftists want to destroy our country and everything that makes it wonderful. In...

Buckle up, this one is a wild ride. Author of "The Anarchist Handbook" and podcast host of "Your Welcome" Michael Malice wants to burn it all down, peacefully and with a smile. “My rights are NOT up for discussion,” he tells Glenn. He explains why his version of America will save America. He and Glenn also discuss why corporate media is shrinking, why Boomers love Martin Luther King Jr., how Trump...

The Left and Right agree: Social media companies like Facebook are abusing their power — whether through censorship or harmful, groupthink-creating algorithms. But is the solution really more censorship and regulation, like government fearmongers and leftist “whistleblowers” have insisted? Glenn sits down with the senior editor at Reason, Robby Soave, who has a much more refreshing solution laid o...

Donald Trump famously tweeted, “They’re not after me, they’re after you. I’m just in the way.” General Michael Flynn was also in the way, apparently, because the deep state has definitely gone after him, on every front. He’s been hounded by the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Democrat Party, and the media. But the hounding didn't stop there. Chase Bank canceled accounts because he was “a reput...

It takes a spine to say, “Being white doesn't make you a white supremacist.” But that’s Ayaan Hirsi Ali for you. She has experienced Islamist supremacy and lived to tell others the truth. Her life story is remarkable. Born in Somalia, she lived through indescribable hell, including forced genital mutilation when she was five years old. She later fled to Holland, eventually becoming a member of the...

One day, Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying were biology professors at Evergreen State College. The next, they were "campus villains" who dared to speak out when the school told white people to take a “day of absence.” Since then, they have become founding members of the “Intellectual Dark Web” and continued their fight for truth in a world gone woke. But with the world changing faster every day, a...

Tim Kennedy got a call about Afghanistan: “We have a few hundred orphan girls. They’re about to be executed. Can you come help us?” Without hesitation, he and three other special operations veterans were soon on the ground in Kabul saving lives. Tim joins Glenn to tell this incredible story, the truth about the Taliban and ISIS-K, what he saw at the Kabul airport on the day of the suicide bombings...

The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 made the world all too familiar with catastrophe, and the fall of Afghanistan in 2021 seems to be continuing that trend. So how do we make sense of all this chaos and disaster? Glenn has a conversation with historian and professor Niall Ferguson, whose latest book, “DOOM: The Politics of Catastrophe,” argues that there’s a human element to every catastrophe, from an e...

Thirty years ago, the world was a much different place and journalists used to be brave. Back then, Tucker Carlson built an impressive career writing for some of the biggest names in American journalism. But now, it would take a miracle for any of these politicized papers to feature his work again. The acclaimed Fox News host joins Glenn to discuss just how much has changed — as he’s documented in...

We need to talk about China. Seriously. It’s behind most of our biggest problems. Chinese President Xi Jinping wants to establish a new world order that does not have our best interests in mind. Human rights? Trade? Pandemic prevention? Just ask the 2 million people in concentration camps, just look at the damage COVID-19 has brought. While we're thinking about whether we can go to a restaurant wi...

America’s small businesses took a massive hit in 2020. But was this because of the COVID-19 pandemic, or is the government’s unprecedented response to blame? “Recovering investment banker” Carol Roth joins Glenn to break it all down, and the truth goes much deeper than we’ve been told. As Carol describes in her new book, “The War on Small Business: How the Government Used the Pandemic to Crush the...

Yeonmi Park experienced freedom for the first time at 13, when she watched "Titanic." She didn’t see it in a plush movie theater seat; she watched it over the course of several days because electricity is sporadic in North Korea, where she grew up. "We don’t have a word for oppression," Yeonmi tells Glenn. “There is no hope. There is no moving forward. You are doomed.” Against unbelievable odds, Y...

There’s a new “reality” spreading, and the mere act of questioning it is incredibly dangerous. Just ask Wall Street Journal investigative journalist Abigail Shrier. Her book, “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters,” exposes the radical gender activism that — just like critical race theory — has overtaken our children’s schools and culture. But even worse, Shrier argues...

We've heard a lot about the 1776 Commission over the past several months. From the mainstream media, you’ve heard lies and slander: It was a racist panel put together by President Trump to peddle a whitewashed version of American history. In reality, the 1776 Commission was established by President Trump in the fall of 2020 with the purpose of promoting “patriotic education.” Not to mandate it, no...

Critical race theory has taken America by storm. Whether it’s called social justice, racial equity, or anti-racism, progressives and the Biden administration embrace it and conservatives despise it. But do we actually understand what it teaches, and WHY it’s such a dangerous attack on America’s ideals? Author and former pastor Dr. Voddie Baucham Jr. does, and his new book, “Fault Lines: The Social...

As the Biden administration forces everything from education to the military to go woke, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has a warning: We’re distracted. And when we’re distracted, bad things happen — violence in Israel, a cyberattack on a major pipeline, and perhaps worst of all, China smells blood in the water. But what is the Republican Party doing to offer actual leade...

What is it about looking up at the night sky that fills us with hope and amazement? The beauty, the possibilities, or perhaps … aliens? In this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Canadian professor and cultural firebrand Jordan Peterson breaks down all three and ties this hope to something he and Glenn agree is being destroyed by the modern cancel culture: The ability to forgive and forget. Pete...

Civil rights activist and Woodson Center founder Bob Woodson has lived through segregation and been a victim of racism. But he doesn’t fit the Left’s mold. In fact, he’s providing an alternative narrative to their “equity.” With the Woodson Center and 1776 Unites, he is offering solutions that BLM rejects, but that are actually helping improve the lives of countless people trapped in poverty and i...

Do you know where your water comes from? Renowned historian and conservative commentator Victor Davis Hanson gets his water from a well on his family farm. He pumps it himself. And he believes that’s what more Americans need — to be grounded and stop taking so much for granted. Hanson joins Glenn to point out that this needs to happen soon, because as he describes in his new article, “The 10 Radic...
