Mom ARRESTED for letting son WALK TO STORE speaks out



Georgia mother of four Brittany Patterson was blindsided when police showed up at her home to arrest her after her 10-year-old son was found walking alone. It began when she received a call from a sheriff’s deputy who had found her son, Soren, less than a mile from her home while she was at the doctor with her older son.

“She seemed very concerned that something terrible was going to happen to him,” Patterson tells Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program.” “I was not concerned.”

The police officer dropped him off back at home with Patterson’s father, who lives with the family. However, that’s when things took a turn.

“They asked me to step outside, and put my hands behind my back. So at that point, I asked why. And the female officer said, ‘Because you’re under arrest.’ And so, again, I asked, ‘What am I under arrest for?’” Patterson explains, adding, “And for the second time, I didn’t get a straight answer.”


The officer then explained it was “reckless endangerment,” which Patterson’s attorney told her “is not even a thing that exists in Georgia.”

“That sounds like the Soviet Union,” Glenn comments, disturbed.

ParentsUSA executive director and general counsel David DeLugas watched the body cam footage of the incident and overheard Brittney tell the police, “Last time I checked, it wasn’t illegal for a kid to walk to the store.”

“And remarkably, the deputy immediately says, ‘It is when they’re 10,’” DeLugas explains. “And I assure everybody, it’s not illegal for a 10-year-old to be out and about walking. Not in the state of Georgia, it’s not.”

“The statute Britt was charged with violating is actually called reckless conduct. And, hey, in 1997, the Georgia Supreme Court held that statute unconstitutional because it’s too vague and gives law enforcement too much power,” DeLugas continues. “You would think in what — 27 years? — law enforcement in Fannin County would figure out that that statute doesn’t apply.”

Billionaire shocks Joe Rogan with stories of right-wingers being ‘debanked’ for their political views



Joe Rogan recently interviewed Marc Andreessen, and what the tech investing legend told him was enough to make Rogan audibly gasp.

Dave Rubin plays the clip of their conversation about right-wing tech entrepreneurs being “debanked” for their political views.

“Under current banking regulations, after all the reforms of the last 20 years, there's now a category called a ‘politically exposed person’ — PEP. … You are required by financial regulators to kick [PEPs] out of your bank,” Andreessen said.

“What?!” Rogan gasped. “What if you’re politically on the left?”

“Well, that’s fine,” Andreessen explained.

“So no one on the left gets debanked?” Rogan asked in disbelief.

“I have not heard of a single instance of anyone on the left getting debanked,” said Andreessen.

He then pointed to David Horowitz as an example of someone who was debanked for being a conservative.

“He's pro-Trump. … He's been very anti-Islamic terrorism; he's been very worried about migration — all these things. And they debanked him for that,” said Andreessen, clarifying that being debanked means “you get kicked out of your bank account” and “you can’t do credit card transactions.”

“How is that legal?” Rogan asked next.

Andreessen explained that while there is an amendment that protects free speech, there isn’t one that prevents the government from pressuring banks to debank the people they don’t like.

“The private company banks do it because they're expected to, but the government gets to say, ‘We didn't do it; it was the private company that did it,’ and JPMorgan can decide who they want to have as customers, of course, because they're a private company, and so it's this sleight of hand that happens,” Andreessen told Rogan. “It's a privatized sanctions regime that lets bureaucrats do to American citizens the same thing that we do to Iran.”

Andreessen went on to explain that during the Obama administration, certain legal businesses were debanked simply because of the industry they were in. The initiative was called “Operation Choke Point 1.0.”

“So if you're running a medical marijuana dispensary in 2012, guess what? You're doing your business all in cash because you literally can't get a bank account; you can't get a Visa terminal; you can't process transactions; you can't do payroll; you can't do direct deposit; you can't get insurance,” he said. “You’ve been sanctioned.”

“And then [the Biden] administration extended that concept to apply it to tech founders, crypto founders, and then just generally political opponents,” he added, noting that this initiative is called “Operation Choke Point 2.0.”

“We’ve had like 30 founders debanked in the last four years,” he told Rogan, who was flabbergasted, adding that this is why he supported Trump.

This montage of Kash Patel speaking truth (and naming names) is a MUST WATCH



If you Google Kash Patel — Donald Trump’s pick for FBI director — you’ll see that the word “controversial” comes up over and over again.

What makes Kash Patel so controversial? Could it be because the man fearlessly speaks the truth and names names while doing it?

Dave Rubin plays a video montage of Patel doing interviews on various podcasts during which his brutal candor is on full display. And let’s just say it’s crystal clear why the media insists he’s controversial.

In the first clip, Patel detailed his plans to let the American people in on the truth that the current government keeps hidden from them.

“We need a 24/7 declassification office rolling papers out 24/7, and not just like JFK and not just 9/11,” he said.

He then clarified that he “believes wholeheartedly in the classified system of information,” but he also knows that it has been “abused by these corrupt officials in government to hide the truth and enact more corrupt activity.”

In the second clip, Patel met with Blaze Media’s very own Glenn Beck. The subject of Epstein’s little black book came up.

“Who has Jeffery Epstein’s black book?” Glenn asked bluntly.

“The FBI,” said Patel, clarifying that it’s “under direct control of the director of the FBI.”

In the third clip, Patel went into even more detail about the FBI’s refusal to release the Epstein list.

“Why is the FBI protecting the greatest pederast — the largest scale pederast — in human history?” the host asked.

“Simple — because of who’s on that list. You don’t think that Bill Gates is lobbying Congress night and day to prevent the disclosure of that list?” Patel said plainly before lambasting House Republicans for not being able to get the list released.

In the fourth clip, Patel disclosed his plans for the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C.

“I'd shut down the FBI Hoover building on day one and reopen it the next day as a museum of the Deep State, and I’d take the 7,000 employees that work in that building and send them across America to chase down criminals. Go be cops,” he stated.

“Same thing with DOJ. What are all these people doing here? Looking for their next government promotion; looking for their next fancy government title; looking for their parachute out of government,” he added, emphasizing the need to “shrink government.”

4 MAJOR cover-ups Kash Patel would EXPOSE as FBI director



Intelligence community veteran Kash Patel, whom Donald Trump has tapped to replace Christopher Wray as the next FBI director, is going to flip the agency on its head with his plans to declassify documents that have long been kept secret.

Glenn Beck, who interviewed Patel last year, lists four cover-ups he believes Patel would expose as the next director of the FBI.

1. The Epstein list

“Who has Jeffery Epstein’s black book?” Glenn asked in the interview.

“The FBI,” Patel stated bluntly before clarifying that it’s specifically “under direct control of the director of the FBI.”

“All these local law enforcement communities get funding from the DOJ and FBI for local programs, and if you don't cooperate, you're not getting your million dollars. ...That's how they play the game. That's why you don't have the black book,” he added.

“On day one [of Trump’s second term], roll out the black book,” he said.

2. The January 6 pipe bombs

In regard to the still-missing J6 pipe bomber, who was captured on CCTV cameras, Patel says, "Release all of the footage."

“On day one, play the rest of the video of the pipe bomber,” he told Glenn, reiterating that we “need a central node to be continuously declassifying.”

“I'm telling you as the former number two in the [intelligence community], they over-classify 50% of the stuff there to protect the Deep State.”

3. The 'deleted' J6 text messages

Patel told Glenn that he is also in favor of releasing the mysteriously deleted text messages between Secret Service agents surrounding the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots.

“On day one, roll out all of the text messaging communications we were told were deleted,” he said.

4. Russiagate

“We still haven’t seen half of the Russiagate report that we wrote. It’s still under lock and key,” Patel told Glenn.

“We put 10,000 man hours against John Brennan’s team that did it, and we found out why they came up with their bogus conclusion, but we couldn't sell it to the world because we couldn't talk about it, and the government gangsters came in and buried it,” he explained.

Needless to say, Glenn is excited for Kash Patel to head the FBI.

To hear Glenn’s commentary on Kash Patel and what he hopes he will achieve in the role of FBI director, watch the clip above.

Old Biden tweet — 'No one is above the law' — gets fact-checked on X, and Elon’s response is hilarious



On Sunday, December 1, President Biden did what he vowed repeatedly not to do and pardoned his son Hunter for his federal crimes and any additional crimes he might have committed over the last decade.

Or — in the words of Dave Rubin — “Joe Biden, the elderly man pretending to be president, pardoned his crackhead son.”

As upsetting as it might be that Joe Biden lied when he pledged to accept the jury’s decision and not use his executive power to pardon Hunter, the decision should not come as a shock.

“Everything Joe Biden has done for the past four years has been a lie,” says Dave.

However predictable Biden’s decision was, it doesn’t mean that the nation is going to stomach it well.

Already, the backlash has been swift. Some of it has even been funny.

Dave displays a tweet from Biden from several months ago with a recently added community note beneath it.

“By pardoning his son Hunter, not merely for a single crime, but for all actual or potential crimes he may or may not have created over an eleven years period, Joe Biden has made it clear that some people are, in fact, above the law,” the note read.

However, Elon Musk’s response to this community note was perhaps even funnier.

Reposting Biden’s tweet with the note beneath it, the tech mogul wrote: “Community Notes slays.”

Dave agrees — community notes does indeed slay.

“The beauty of community notes, as you can see, [is that] they reference articles that you can then click into and see,” and then “you can rate it” based on its helpfulness,” says Dave. “This is sort of the fact-checking apparatus we've wanted for a long time.”

Why Joe Biden’s pardon of Hunter doesn’t have to be the end



Despite repeatedly pledging not to, President Biden has chosen to pardon his son Hunter for his federal crimes.

“This is the least surprising story of the decade,” says Glenn Beck. “We all knew it was coming.”

Even though it’s upsetting, Glenn admits that Joe Biden is well within his constitutional rights to do this.

“It's one of the few powers that we grant the executive office for which there is no check and balance process outlined in the Constitution,” he says.

But despite the constitutionality of Biden’s blanket pardon, people are still very upset, as they should be.

“If this was just cocaine and prostitutes, I don't think we'd care that much,” says Glenn. “However, we're talking about money laundering charges to the Biden family.”

“What about the violation of the State Secrets Act? ... How about Chinese prostitute spies?” he asks.

In a statement explaining his decision, Biden said, “I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice — and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a president would come to this decision.”

Glenn actually agrees — mostly.

Before the scandal went public, the DOJ, IRS, and FBI were trying to give Hunter “a sweetheart deal” that would effectively sweep his crimes under the rug. So in that sense, yes — Hunter’s case was indeed a miscarriage of justice from the start, making the pardon even more egregious.

However, just because Biden pardoned Hunter doesn’t mean it’s over.There is still a way that at least some justice can be served.

“If Trump is who we think he is ... he can completely blow the lid off of this,” says Glenn.

“Even if he can't prosecute Hunter or Joe, that's fine. But he can declassify every single document in the Biden investigation from cocaine to China to the Middle East and destroy not just the Biden legacy ... but he can destroy the press; he can destroy everyone that was involved in this — the entire apparatus around it,” he proposes.

“Biden only granted Hunter immunity — only Hunter, and by extension, himself, but not the gross military and intelligence industrial complex and the team around them. All those people can be exposed; all of those people can go to jail, and with the appointment of Kash Patel, I predict it's going to happen,” Glenn hypothesizes.

‘The View’ host worried about her mental health after Trump victory



President-elect Donald Trump won the presidency in a landslide against Vice President Kamala Harris, and liberal women everywhere are in shambles.

Particularly, the liberal women like Ana Navarro of “The View.”

“In 2016 at this time, the Women’s March was being planned. That began getting planned the election night and it began with a Facebook post of a housewife in Hawaii, and it turned into millions of women marching all over the country the day after the inauguration,” Navarro explained to the distraught panel.

“We’re all eight years older. I think a lot of us are still apoplectic that America voted against a qualified woman again and put in this racist misogynist, and they don’t care,” she continued. “And so it’s, like, it’s tiring. It is exhausting. It is disappointing.”


“This election cycle was like an emotional roller coaster, right? We had Joe Biden, the debate, two assassination attempts, Kamala coming in and running hard, leaving it all on the field for 107 days, and then we thought she was going to win like we did with Hillary in 2016 and she didn’t.”

“So I think people are exhausted. I think they are looking at taking care of themselves before they care of America,” she said. “I got to breathe. My mental health has got to be in a good place. My physical health has got to be in a good place. That doesn’t mean we’re going to tune out for four years, but it means we’re going to take some bubble baths for a little bit.”

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” is endlessly amused by the women on this particular show.

“First off, Donald Trump is not a racist, and he’s not a misogynist,” Rubin says, adding, “judge the guy by what he actually does, and then I think you’ll find yourself on the right side of history. And Ana, you will find yourself miserable and alone.”

Is Europe close to being conquered? These statistics paint a harrowing picture



When it comes to progressivism, Europe is just a few steps ahead of the United States. While there are many insidious policies contributing to its decline, such as the criminalization of hate speech, its immigration policies are the most outwardly destructive. Several European countries have opened their borders and allowed in millions of immigrants, many of whom hate Western values and the Westerners who live by them.

France specifically is going downhill at such a rate that in many ways, it’s beginning to look like a conquered nation.

Glenn Beck lists some terrifying statistics.

  • “Over 260 French citizens have been killed in terrorist attacks since 2012.”
  • “There were almost 1,000 anti-Christian hate crimes in France in [2023] alone.”
  • “Earlier this year, a cemetery in Southwest France was vandalized with graffiti written in French and Arabic. The messages included ‘Submit to Allah’ and ‘France is already Allaha’s.”’
  • “In May at a church in Western France, benches were set on fire and a statue of Mary was beheaded.”
  • “Last week in a town in Northern France, an arsonist burned down another church. This one was built in the 1800s.”
  • “In 2021 the president of the Paris-based Observatory of Religious Heritage reported that a church is destroyed in France every two weeks, with two-thirds of them caused by arson,” but “a new mosque is built every 15 days in France.”

Given that there are roughly 6.7 million Muslims in France, which is “about 10% of the French population,” something must be done about these alarming figures.

Luckily, President Macron has a plan. Unfortunately, it’s a terrible one.

“The centerpiece of Macron’s proposal is to certify and train imams in France. The proposed measure also included offering Arabic instruction in public schools, tightening control on private religious education, limiting homeschooling, and cracking down on speech or activities that contradict so-called Republican values such as gender-segregated hours at municipal swimming pools,” Glenn reads from Foreign Policy.

“The Muslims are going to line up for the government teaching … and everything’s going to change,” he says sarcastically.

Unfortunately, it’s not just France that’s spiraling toward disaster. It’s Europe as a whole.

From a Qatar charity that funds mosque-building in Europe and the conversion of churches into restaurants, gyms, and nightclubs to the catch-and-release policies that are putting illegal immigrant criminals back on the streets, Europe is looking more like a conquered continent with each day that passes.

Glenn Beck’s 2023 interview with Kash Patel is a MUST SEE before Patel assumes new role as FBI director



When Trump was first elected in 2016, he pledged to “drain the swamp” — that is, the Deep State that permeates the federal government and actively works to ensure certain agendas are pushed and others are squashed, its opponents are persecuted, and the nation heads in the direction it sees fit.

Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. The Deep State is alive, but it isn’t necessarily well as an older and wiser Trump gears up for a second term.

His recent pick for FBI director — Kash Patel — is a surefire sign that he intends to root out the corruption this time around.

Almost a year ago, Glenn Beck sat down for an extended interview with Patel, and now that he is headed to the most powerful seat in one of the most brazenly corrupted branches of the DOJ, their conversation is well worth a revisit.


“I wanted to speak to somebody who has seen [the Deep State] firsthand, knows how it works,” said Glenn on December 13, 2023.

As the “principal deputy to the acting director of the national intelligence agency … under President Trump,” Patel “oversaw all of the operations of all 17 intelligence community agencies.” On top of that, “he also worked with the National Security Council, the secretary of defense, and the Department of Justice.”

All that to say Kash Patel was exactly the person Glenn was looking for to expose “what the Deep State is, how it works, and what its real goals are.”

Glenn’s first question for Patel was simple: “How bad is it?”

“It’s way worse than I thought it could ever be,” Patel, who documented his experience in a book, admitted. “It’s not just one guy; it’s not five … it’s like a thousand.”

The Deep State “just webs out into government, and it secretes in distinct places and kind of just hides there for a while. And then when they want it to activate, the media and others come in with their leadership and say this is what we need,” Patel explained. “These people who run these institutions — DOJ, FBI, DOD, what have you — they are part of this entrenched class in Washington that all respond to one thing: their self-advancement.”

“The only way they do that is if they glorify and protect the institution that's been corrupted,” he added.

EXPOSED: The globalists who control the legacy media



In 2024, 90% of the media is owned by just six giant global corporations — while just four decades ago, 50 companies controlled 90% of the media.

“This is the media-industrial complex. The propaganda-industrial complex,” Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” comments.

Currently, National Amusements and the Redstone family control CBS, CMT, MTV, Nickelodeon, and so much more. Disney and “the far-left whack job” Bob Iger control ABC, ESPN, the History Channel, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, video games, and again, so much more.

TimeWarner and CEO Jeff Bewkes control CNN, Warner Brothers, HBO, Turner, video games, internet, print media like Time, and dozens more. Comcast and CEO Brian L. Roberts control NBC, MSNBC, CSNBC, Telemundo, and the internet.


NewsCorp and the Murdoch family control Fox and National Geographic while Sony controls an incredible amount of music, television, movies, and more.

“These are just a few examples of what these conglomerates own,” Glenn says. “Remember, almost everything you use and consume and eat are owned by, what did I say, 12 companies? And six own what you’re talking about every day.”

“Who’s controlling the information? The big six, taken all together, are valued at nearly $500 billion dollars. You want to know why they fought the little guys so much, and lost by the way, this Tuesday,” Glenn continues, noting that all that money they’ve invested “isn’t working.”

However, he says, “the result of their work is devastating.”

“The way we cut out this cancer is by more competition, more options, ending the partnership between the government and their surrogates, their corporate board members that are all sitting at the tables of the big six,” Glenn says.

“Increase the amount of independent media. No government bailouts. No government startups. Let the system work. Halt the cronyism between the government and the media companies,” he continues, adding, “And the great thing is, that’s Donald Trump’s plan.”
