Are attacks against free speech meant to protect US— or the new woke 'religion'?



The New York Times recently published an op-ed titled “The First Amendment is Out of Control.”

The author, law professor Tim Wu, argues in the piece that free speech arguments are now used to protect corporate interests and harm everyday citizens.

Discussing the regulation of the internet, Wu writes, “Such regulation is not always perfect to be sure, but it represents a legitimate tool with which Democratic governments can stand up to private power.”

“The next phase in this struggle will presumably concern the regulation of artificial intelligence. I fear the First Amendment will be extended to protect machine speech at considerable human cost,” he continues.

“I one-hundred-percent agree with that,” Glenn Beck comments. “It’s something I’ve been warning about for about three decades.”

However, Wu then begins to steer into dangerous territory.

“Free speech rights have been hijacked to suppress the sovereignty of humans in favor of the power of companies and machines,” he continues.

“No, there’s a difference between individuals and the government and regulations and suggestions,” Glenn disagrees. “You want to regulate, okay, regulate. And let’s have that not go through the administrative state; let’s have that go through Congress. Let’s have that debate.”

“I think the right of the individual is what will win in that,” he adds, noting that Wu isn’t fully grasping what the First Amendment truly is.

“You can speak your mind without fear of censorship or persecution,” Glenn explains. “Now, that doesn’t make you popular, but it does mean that the government and those powerful institutions can do nothing against you, to stop you.”

“Would you like it if a church all of a sudden was in charge and said you can’t say these things? I mean, how many people on the left believe in burning the flag? You have a right to do that,” he continues.

However, the current powers are already behaving more like a church than a government. Most recently, teens and young adults have been getting charged with felonies for something as harmless as leaving skid marks on rainbow crosswalks.

“What is that other than a religion?” Glenn asks.

Glenn’s latest speech will leave you stunned: 'We won’t make it through the next New Year's'



At Jason Whitlock's "Fearless Army Roll Call 2.0" event, Glenn Beck delivered a speech that caused eyes to well and spines to tingle.

As our country hurdles toward what looks to be impending destruction, we all want to know what we can do to reverse course and restore America to the beacon of hope she once was.

Glenn’s resolution is simple: “Surrender to Jesus Christ.”

Not only will this save our country, but it will also redeem individual lives and break toxic generational cycles.

Sharing a bit from his own tragic past, Glenn revealed that the power of Christ alone was what transformed his life, which was initially defined by alcoholism, suicide, and child abuse, into the one you see him living today.

Likewise, Christ alone is the answer to America’s glaring problems.

“Surrender to Jesus Christ,” Glenn told the Fearless audience. “That's what our country needs to do.”

In addition to Jesus, however, there’s another person the men in this country would do well to emulate — a person Glenn says he can’t seem to find any dirt on.

“I can find bad things on everybody,” he said, “but I can’t find anything on [George] Washington.”

Washington, like all true heroes, Glenn explained, didn’t strive for fame or glory. In fact, “All the man ever wanted to do was be a farmer at Mount Vernon.”

But despite his wishes, America’s first president was destined for a level of greatness few have since achieved.

What set Washington apart from others? Two things, according to Glenn.

“He wanted to discover what it meant to be a good man,” and “he served his whole life,” he explained, sharing little-known details from Washington’s life, including his first book (written at age 8!), his insecurities, his alleged obsession with ice cream, and above all, examples of his character.

“If it wasn't for [Washington] and the honor that he built since he was a child, we wouldn't exist.”

And if we don’t do something about the current godless state of America, our future may not exist, according to Glenn.

“We won't make it through the next New Year's if men don't stand up — men of God and peace — people who understand the full armor of God,” he told the audience.

Whether people want to see it or not, America is already at war. But to win this war, we need a different kind of weapon — “the sword of [God’s] truth — his Word.”

“Why do you think they’re silencing everybody?” Glenn asked. “They are terrified of the truth.”

The ONE way to STOP the left from ERASING America



Our memory is not only the key to who we are as individuals but to who we are as a society as well.

“Entities, which lose their memory — people, groups, churches, nations — lose not just the mere knowledge of their past of who they were or have been, but they also lose the knowledge of themselves, the knowledge of their purpose, of who they are, who they’re meant to be,” Glenn Beck explains, noting that this is a massive problem today, as “we are memory holing things.”

When the past is erased, “It leaves people open to manipulation” and to “being reprogrammed with lies by whatever bad actor wants to use them for their own purposes.”

This is the open intent of many on the left — which is made clear by movements like the 1619 project and Howard Zin.

“It’s the logic behind the many reimagining policies,” Glenn says, before playing a clip of Michelle Obama perfectly illustrating his point.

“We are going to have to make sacrifices, we are going to have to change our conversation. We’re going to have to change our traditions, our history. We’re going to have to move into a different place as a nation to provide the kind of future that we all want,” Obama told an audience.

“These stories that tell us why we’re here and what we’re here to do, we have new stories for you. Stories that will tell us we’re all born in sin, that we’re all irredeemably evil, that we should be torn down forever,” Glenn mocks.

The way we fight this is to make a true effort to remember where we came from.

“Memory requires a conscious effort, a choice, a ritual. It requires that a story be told over and over and over again,” Glenn says. “The first thing we have to do is know the truth and then stand up for the truth. Stand up to say, ‘No, you have no right to memory hole an event.’”

What the Empire State Building can teach us about the Baltimore bridge collapse



Rumor has it that Americans across the country will feel the effects of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridges’s collapse for quite some time. Officials claim that it will take years for the bridge to be rebuilt, which will have dire effects not only on importation and exportation but also jobs, as “the Port of Baltimore creates over 15,300 jobs,” and “over 140,000 jobs [are] linked to the activity at the port.”

For those who don’t know, the Port of Baltimore is the nation’s “leading import/export site for cars and trucks,” so Americans waiting for a car to come in from overseas are in for a rude awakening, as the time of delivery is expected to increase exponentially.

But it’s not just the automobile industry that will be impacted. Last year alone, “A record 52.3 million tons of foreign cargo” was transported through the Port of Baltimore, but now the port has been entirely shut down due the bridge’s collapse that has left the only shipping lane blocked.

“An expert on property damage cases in the shipping industry told the New York Post that ‘the collapse will have a major impact on shipping and traffic routes on the East coast for the foreseeable future.’”

While many will hear these reports and fear what this means for the country, all Glenn Beck hears is a bunch of unnecessary doomsday-ing.

“Have we forgotten who we are? Have we forgotten what we’ve done?” he asks, calling attention to the spirit of America, which is “so potent and so vibrant that it has scaled towering mountains.”

America has “constructed marvels of engineering” and “buildings that scraped the sky,” he encourages.

In 1930, “The Great Depression had its icy grip on us. It was a time when everybody felt the flickering candle in the vast darkness ... yet it was in this crucible of adversity that Americans did great things. The Empire State Building rose. It wasn’t just a structure of steel and stone; it was a beacon of hope and American resilience and ingenuity,” says Glenn.

“In a record-shattering one year and 45 days, an army of workers ... transformed this audacious vision into a towering reality.”

So, what does the Empire State Building — a marvel that was constructed at a “feverish pace” and “defied the laws of time physics” — have to do with Baltimore’s bridge?

According to Glenn, everything.

The Empire State Building and other man-made marvels “are not merely historical footnotes. They are blazing torches illuminating our path forward. They remind us ... that when we are faced with adversity, we don’t just endure it. We overcome it. We don’t wait for history to chart our course. We write it with the sweat of our brow and the strength of our backs,” he says.

“That’s who we are.”

THIS lesson from the 1970s rings true TODAY



There’s no doubt that 2023 has been chaotic, and for those born after the '70s, it’s been the most chaotic year yet.

But Glenn Beck remembers the '70s, and their own struggles weren't a far cry from the trials and tribulations of today: economic turmoil, despair, an energy crisis, and rampant crime.

Not only that but a growing disbelief in America.

“People were hopeless, disillusioned. They stopped believing in America. They stopped believing that things will get better,” Glenn says, noting that in 1978, he heard something that inspired him and many others.

And it’s something that he believes still rings true.

That is Aaron Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait,” featuring Henry Fonda — which Glenn has revamped to match the current tumultuous times.

“One of the greatest American composers, Aaron Copland, joined with Henry Fonda just to remind Americans of who they were, where they came from,” Glenn says, adding, “Henry Fonda took to the stage and he spoke. He spoke of the dark times and the hope of Abraham Lincoln.”

Glenn embellishes the composition with a quote from Ronald Reagan: “In the quest for freedom, we unite against darkness. The darkness of tyranny. Our nation, a beacon of hope, stands resilient against the bullies of the world. We inherit not just a land but a legacy of freedom that we must defend with unwavering courage.”

“Let us be unafraid in the face of evil. Our unity is our strength, and in that strength lies the power to shape a world that cherishes freedom and justice. Our destiny is not predetermined, it is only crafted by our own hands, our hearts, and our unwavering spirit,” he continues.

Glenn ends the composition on a positive note.

“We will find strength to build a world where freedom, justice, and hope flourish for all,” he reads.

Glenn: What to do when it feels like the world is falling apart



No matter where you look these days, you’re inundated with advertisements telling you that you’re not enough and a news cycle that’ll have you feeling like you’ve had enough.

It can feel like the world is falling apart and turning inside out.

Glenn Beck knows this all too well.

“Everything is telling you you’re not enough; and then on top of it, it feels at times like the world is just turning inside out and doing all kinds of things to you,” he says.

The lack of control over what’s going on around you can be overwhelming, but Glenn has a solution.

“We have to accept the things that we can’t change; but we also have to look at the things we can change,” he offers.

He believes that it’s “important to spin things around and maybe think that things aren’t being done to you” but rather, for you.

“It will require sacrifice and suffering and faith and everything else, but maybe, if we choose to see it in a different light, we’ll be better,” he explains.

Instead of focusing on your own issues — your own struggles — you can look to helping others who are going through similar or worse trials.

“If we’re hungry, maybe we feed the poor. We care for the orphan. We protect the widow. We love the stranger. If we’re in such a bad, dark place, wouldn’t it make it easier for us to see others in that place and relate to them unlike anyone else can?”

FLASHBACK: Glenn's 2011 'Restoring Israel' speech will give you CHILLS



Glenn Beck is no stranger to the courage shown by Israel.

In a speech he gave in Jerusalem on August 24, 2011, Glenn challenged Americans to help Israelis restore this courage as people around the world turned against them.

Now, Glenn believes those words are more relevant — and important — than ever.

“I have been asked by the press over and over again: what is it you think you can teach Israel about courage? My answer is simple: nothing,” Glenn told the cheering crowd in Jerusalem.

He recalls the press then asking him, “So then why would you come to Israel?”

“Because, I say, in Israel you see courage,” he answered. “In Israel, there is more courage in one small square mile than in all of Europe. In Israel, there is more courage in one soldier than in the combined and cold hearts of every bureaucrat at the United Nations.”

Israelis, Glenn believes, “will stand against incredible odds against the entire tide of global opinion just because it's right.”

And today, the world needs that courage and principled strength more than ever.

“You don’t really have to be a prophet to know that things aren’t really going that well,” he continued. “The threats are mounting, and evil is growing. Darkness is falling. Too many politicians are just too willing to look away. The shapeshifters are working. They have turned day into night and good into evil.”

Glenn knows that the work that’s needed to be done won’t be done by those in charge, but by the people they’re supposed to be leading.

“Did a commission of men stop the Holocaust? Did a committee of Congress stop Jim Crow?” he asks. He then answers his own questions: “In each case, the work was done by individuals who would not abide by the convenient lies. They saw injustice and called it out and called evil by its name.”

“No matter where you are,” he continues, “I ask you today to link arms with me. Link arms with others. Link arms, stand with courage, and walk behind the pillar of fire.”

Glenn believed then, as he does now, that it's our duty not just to stand together, but to stand with the Israeli people.

“I stand with Israel. I will stand with the Jewish people, and if they want to round all of us up again, I will proudly raise my hand and say, 'Take me first.'"

Glenn's message for the CHALLENGES we're about to face



According to Glenn Beck, this past week was one of the best and worst America has experienced yet.

While it might not seem like anything that’s happened this past week could possibly be good at first, he believes we have a lot to be grateful for because of it.

“We have seen the lies that many of us knew were lies laid bare for the world to see,” he says. “We have seen the brave step forward with nothing to hide yet a ton to fear, but we’ve also seen the deaths of man’s depravity, the arrogance of the elite, and the corruption of justice.”

Those who tell the truth have never been more important, especially as the “arrogant” elites indict former President Donald Trump for a third time.

“The forces of darkness may feel powerful and in charge right now, but they are merely the whispers and the shadows and the echoes of ancient lies. They will be defeated again, but only when the truth is no longer held captive by fear,” Glenn says.

Like those who fought for freedom before us — and won — we can’t let the bad, like the Biden Crime Family, stop us from pursuing that freedom.

“What the government is doing in my lifetime is a reflection of me,” Glenn continues, “if they answer to the people, which they no longer do.”

Now is the time to double down on truth and restore what we know to be self-evident.

“We need a reset. We need a rediscovery. We need a re-commitment. We need a restoration of truth, of God, and the power he gives each of us to rule over our own lives and our passions and our feelings.”

“I promise you we’ll weather the storm if we understand that it’s temporary, that our fear is not real. If we curse the storm after the storm, we haven’t learned a thing,” he adds.

Glenn believes that if we are grateful and continue to see the light despite the dark, we’ll come out better for it.

“I thank God for the storm.”
