The Glenn Beck Podcast

Behold Ben Shapiro, the Great Wrecker of Libs himself. From the growing contempt for free speech to the fatal excesses of cancel culture and the forcefulness of so-called racial equity, Ben smashes claims that conservatives don't battle censorship. All of it is fueled by the Left’s need for constant revolution and their habitual gaslighting. Seriously, the gaslighting is nonstop: At this very moment, makeshift fencing (aka a wall) surrounds the Capitol. Democrats used to hate walls and borders, but thousands of National Guardsmen occupy Washington, D.C., for unclear reasons, for an indefinite amount of time, and the Democrats are happy about it? Ben also addresses some of the more "creative" conspiracy theories of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, like Jewish space lasers. And what about the obsession to rid this "cancer" from Congress? Ben says it's all politics: "We're all old enough to remember [before] Marjorie Taylor Greene, it was Steve King, and when it was not Steve King and it was Christine O'Donnell, and when it was not Christine O'Donnell, it was Todd Akin. Meanwhile, I got Nancy Pelosi on the cover of a magazine with Ilhan Omar, and it's like, well, 'that's just the way things go' five minutes after she was about to censure her for her anti-Semitism." Ben ends the show on a strategy to help Democrats and tearful journalists at Politico stop treating conservatives as domestic enemies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are UFOs real? Are we not alone in the universe? You're not a kook to ask those questions, says Avi Loeb, renowned Harvard astronomer and author of "Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth" — especially in the face of new evidence discovered in 2017. Scientists at a Hawaiian observatory found an unexplained object in our solar system, moving so quickly that it could only have come from another star. Was it space junk, an asteroid, or a relic from a distant civilization? Avi makes the scientific case for why we should consider the possibility that it came from alien life. Glenn and Avi discuss how scientists have traded wonder for cynicism and robbed us of a true sense of curiosity. They challenge the academic snobs within the scientific community and all of us to approach our existence in the universe with a little more humility. Learn more about your ad choices.

Over the last three decades, veteran sports journalist Jason Whitlock has worked his way up from local newsrooms to major networks at Fox Sports and ESPN. He’s become one of the most respected — and one of the most hated — sports journalists in the country, especially for his opinions on race. In this episode, Jason and Glenn discuss how the Left uses sports to divide America, Big Tech, China, Nike’s hypocrisy, how LBJ's policies ruined black America, and why President Obama disappointed him. He tells Glenn how a new generation of woke activists have tried to undo his accomplishments and reacts to Deadspin calling him “the racist right’s unwitting attack dog.” While his habit of "wrongspeak" has landed him in trouble throughout his career, Jason says he just loves Jesus, America, and football — in that order.

Eric Weinstein is not a conservative, but he talks to conservatives because he says, more often, they’re the ones who let him speak his mind without branding him (a Jew) a Nazi. He tells Glenn why, after many requests over the last few years, he finally agreed to this podcast. In the aftermath of the U.S. Capitol riot and President Trump’s second impeachment, Eric and Glenn probe the historical, economic, social, and even scientific reasons for the events of the last week. They also tackle some of the hardest questions our country faces: What do we do about a power-grabbing Big Tech, a dishonest media, Wokistan vs. MAGAstan, and the destruction of American culture? How do we restore civility between the Left and the Right? How do we save the UNITED States of America? In an honest conversation that will stretch your comfort zone, Glenn and Eric show us where to start. This Week’s Sponsors: Protecting his family is Glenn's No. 1 priority.

The nation was shocked as the “Save America” rally in Washington, D.C., devolved into a siege of the U.S. Capitol. The day after, as heads were still spinning, Glenn sits down with Matt Kibbe, host of BlazeTV’s “Kibbe on Liberty,” to look at what led to this: Woke authoritarianism is in power, lockdowns are unending, and the Left has finally found out how to weaponize fear. The media is all too happy to watch the country burn, as long as the Left is holding the torch. But Glenn and Matt remember the lessons learned from the Tea Party, Martin Luther King Jr., and other movements that found success through peace. Conservatives and libertarians must find a path forward so we have more 9-12 marches, fewer stormings of the Capitol, and real change from those who believe they rule over us.

Nicole Arbour is an actress, influencer, comedian, and former NBA cheerleader. After a bad car accident left her disabled for most of her 20s, she overcame depression and constant pain. She tells Glenn how she found her way back to laughter to become the cheerleader, self-help version of Jordan Peterson. On this episode, Nicole and Glenn discuss the future of comedy, why SNL sucks, the dangers of a Harris-Biden administration, how to bypass the threats of cancel culture, and the ridiculousness of the women at "The View."

Veteran award-winning investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson has watched from the inside as the mainstream media replaced news with activism. As a leading correspondent at CBS News for 21 years, she argues that there’s a new definition of censorship, and it involves the media, Big Tech, and the government working together to define what “truth” is – and their suppression of the Hunter Biden story in the months leading up to the election is a prime example. Sharyl and Glenn cover a range of topics: the “Digital New Deal," YouTube’s new ban, big brother, coronavirus restrictions, Dr. Fauci, and the great reset. She also gives her expert advice on how we can reverse what has happened to journalism, because America desperately needs to be able to trust again. This Week’s Sponsors: Losing your hair is no fun.

The state of America is worse than we realize: The Left’s obsession with rewriting history has ushered in guilt, fear, and a “silent majority.” But British author Douglas Murray asks, “Why should the majority remain silent?” In his latest book, "The Madness of Crowds," Murray warns that something dark has overtaken Western society. And having viewed the American Left firsthand, he now warns that we’re heading down the same path as much of Europe did – and leading the rest of the world with us. He and Glenn discuss what he learned from marching with Antifa, the dangers of focusing on race and eroding masculinity, and whether it’s actually time to be more like France as even President Macron warns that we’ve gone too far. But ultimately, Murray stresses with cautious hope that it’s always possible to return to truth. This Week’s Sponsors: Losing your hair is no fun.

As America grows divided and afraid to disagree with the Democrats’ woke plan for America, Megyn Kelly is ready to fight back for the truth. For nearly two decades, she navigated the volatile and broken world of the media. But as America leans on independent voices more than ever, she’s breaking new ground with "The Megyn Kelly Show." Now, Megyn and Glenn break down what’s coming next after the election: Black Lives Matter is mainstream, Leftists are making lists of Trump supporters, the Hunter Biden scandal is on the back burner … and is Fox News finished? Megyn and Glenn reminisce on their cable news days (including her infamous run-in with Donald Trump) and also give a look into the chaotic and shady world of journalism and the growing entitlement it's bred. And the best takeaway from her time at NBC? “Jane Fonda was an ass.” This Week’s Sponsors: Plan now for how to protect yourself and your family.

In the 2016 presidential election, Dave Rubin voted for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. He said he wasn't sold on Trump, was worried about his chaos, and the unknown of how he would govern. Absolutely no one could have predicted any of the insanity that the future has brought — and the war the Woke Left would wage on our freedoms. The last month alone has had more plot twists than a cocaine-fueled Stephen King novel. Four years later, Dave's pulling the lever for Trump without hesitation. He tells Glenn about his evolution from "Trump isn't for me" to "Trump HAS to win to get our freedoms back." They also discuss why more liberals are becoming conservative, tyrannical overreach on COVID-19 lockdowns, and Kamala Harris' fake laugh. It's the last episode of The Glenn Beck Podcast before the election, so naturally Dave and Glenn find a way to make a Star Wars analogy. Dave says the Trump-hating Left have got it all backward. "They aren't the Resistance! WE are the Resistance!"

The king of "No Spin" and bestselling author of "Killing Crazy Horse," Bill O'Reilly, dishes with Glenn about his time at Fox News. He explains why he believes he got labeled as "being difficult to work with," what happened when he asked executives if he could moderate a presidential debate, and what the first words he ever said to Glenn were (hint: It was typical O'Reilly). He also reveals how he would've handled the Hunter Biden email story if he were the editor of the New York Post, gives his predictions for the final debate (if it even happens), and imagines what Donald Trump will do if he doesn't win a second term. "He ain't gonna get down to Dallas and paint," O'Reilly says. "He'll probably buy the L.A. Lakers and fire LeBron James!" This Week’s Sponsor: Losing your hair is no fun.

If you’ve ever worked in an office setting, no matter what your role is, you can relate to Glenn's guest. In fact, he has probably made you laugh more than once at the absurdity of the personalities and situations you encounter at work. Until late 2015, he was best known as a wildly successful cartoonist and bestselling author. But a certain larger-than-life presidential candidate changed all that. While the media drove itself and the rest of America insane trying to figure out the how and why of Donald Trump, he had an articulate explanation that to him seemed very obvious: Trump is a master of persuasion. Still, he does not call himself a conservative, nor a Democrat. He is one of the leading voices of what is becoming an endangered American species: People who dare to think for themselves. He is still a cartoonist and bestselling author, but has now added blogger, podcaster, and political commentator to his day job. He is creator of the worldwide comic strip phenomenon "Dilbert" – Scott Adams. This Week’s Sponsors: AR500 Armor makes buying ballistic body armor easy, approachable, and affordable.

Legal scholar and defense attorney Alan Dershowitz has a message for partisans dividing America: "A plague on both your houses." He voted for Hillary Clinton. He endorsed Joe Biden. He’s a man who is basically the Forrest Gump of American judicial history. Look up a big court case over the past few decades, and you’ll probably see him standing in the background. He’s represented notorious clients like Mike Tyson, Patty Hearst, Harry Reems, Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, and yes, Donald Trump. It’s made him a target for both the Left and Right. He describes himself as a “civil libertarian," and that's probably why he and Glenn get along despite their opposing politics. His story is like a history lesson, spanning half a century. It also just might be the key to bridging the political divide. Alan explains why he trusts the Supreme Court despite losing high-profile cases there and how he played a "teeny tiny role" in Trump's Middle East peace process. At 82 years old, Alan is still a fighter, and while it annoys him that he has to defend his legacy and reputation against accusations surrounding the Epstein case, he says, "I will win!"

The tongue-in-cheek working title for this podcast was “Dangerous Conversations.” But two years later, our growing inability to get along has mutated into something truly dangerous: All the more reason to have conversations like this one. Glenn sits down with Vox co-founder Matthew Yglesias, who’s supposed to be a bitter enemy. But while they still disagree on plenty, they really aren’t that far apart. For starters, Yglesias lays out in his new book, “One Billion Americans,” that America IS a great land of opportunity, and the immense threat of China should refocus our efforts from fighting each other to working together for all of our benefit.

For the first two and a half years of Donald Trump’s presidency, Sarah Huckabee Sanders faced an unprecedented media assault on the administration, herself, and her family. She was infamously kicked out of a restaurant just for daring to show up and was the first press secretary to require Secret Service protection. Now, as attacks against Trump only grow more intense, she joins Glenn to give a firsthand account of the hatred and hypocrisy the media shows toward the president and those who side with him. And she provides what the media refuses to do: an honest, truthful look at Trump. From his successes in the Middle East to REAL stories of how highly he speaks of our troops, she knows, “This is someone who loves America.” This Week’s Sponsors: Losing your hair is no fun.

"You should only seek to be loved by your spouse and your friends.” "Matzah is not sexy." "Humans want to be taken care of much more than they want to be free." These are just a few of the Prager-isms Glenn discussed with Dennis Prager, the legendary talk radio host and co-founder of Prager University. His accomplishments range from YouTube seder host sensation, orchestra conductor, to Reagan-appointed delegate to the Helsinki Accords. As a witness to the Soviet crimes of communism, he warns the ideology is making its first serious inroads into the United States. They also discuss one of his biggest professional regrets, and what he believes is the single greatest criminal mistake in the history of the world.

Glenn interviews James Lindsay, the "world's best woke interpreter" and author of the new book, "Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity―and Why This Harms Everybody." Despite his Ph.D. in math, Lindsay would fail a simple equation because he says our "woke betters" decide what is true and false and it doesn't matter what 2+2 equals. He argues critical theory has become an intolerant, parasitic ideology with its own language system and reveals the moment that became his "woke breaking point." Lindsay breaks out his social justice dictionary to teach Glenn what fake words like "responsibilize" and "medicalizing" mean and that "fascism" doesn't mean what you think it means. An exasperated Glenn says Orwell's "1984" novel now reads like today's newspaper. This Week’s Sponsor: Tommy John's: Want to know the secret to staying sweat-free this summer?

The world may know him as a Heisman Trophy-winning NFL star, MMA fighter, and all-around athlete. But the world’s got it wrong: Herschel Walker’s not an athlete. He’s a “competitor.” After growing up a “goofy little kid," a bully’s beatdown turned his life around in a single summer. He graduated valedictorian, gained fame in football, and was so competitive that he’d play Russian roulette just to challenge death. But after his anger led to a split personality diagnosis, he turned to God and realized “we all fall short of His glory." Herschel and Glenn discuss the anger that’s destroying our country, how we need real solutions instead of violence, and why Americans must stand up to preserve a free future for all American lives.

What happens when Glenn tells sexual orientation expert and neuroscientist Dr. Debra Soh that he feels like a woman today? Well, he gets a hard dose of objective truth based in science. In Soh's new book, "The End of Gender: Debunking the Myths about Sex & Identity in Our Society," she gives parents the tools to fight back against the lies their children are being taught in school: "Gender is a social construct. There's no such thing as boys and girls." She says it's anti-science to encourage children to transition to the opposite sex. Soh explains why she had to leave academia to speak freely about sex and identity, and why as even as a liberal, she and Glenn have a lot more in common than one might expect.

He discusses his evolution on Trump, his prediction for the election, and what it means to be an agnostic-atheist. Plus, he shares what he calls his first great epiphany: “Cancel culture is the first successful work-around of the First Amendment." Greg also reveals his secrets on how to stay "plus" when the world is a big fat "minus" right now and encourages Glenn not to despair: "If you read my book, you'll feel a lot better."

In this crossover podcast with the Charlie Kirk Show, Glenn answers one of the biggest questions conservatives are asking in this era of AOC, Bernie Sanders, and grotesque government overreach: What arguments against socialism actually WIN? Whether on college campuses, at home, or anywhere where Americans are searching for truth, Glenn lays out the facts that you can use from his new book, “Arguing with Socialists.” Are the socialists really winning? How do you define “socialism”? Why is it so popular with the younger generations? And is there any common ground to be found? At a time when socialists are already grabbing up power, it’s more important than ever to know the winning argument. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Most people don’t know this, but the “MyPillow guy” from TV commercials used to be a hard-core crack addict! Once considered so bad that even his drug dealers cut him off, MyPillow inventor and CEO Mike Lindell has done the impossible and turned his life around: born-again Christian, successful businessman, friend of President Trump, and most recently, patriotic face mask manufacturer. But as he proudly states, all these are just steps toward a much greater calling: building a nationwide network to help others like him overcome addiction and have a second chance at life.

"Is what I’m doing making the world a better place? Yes or no?" When best-selling author Ryan Holiday took a good look in the mirror and answered "no," his whole life changed. Now the author of ten books, including “The Obstacle Is the Way” and his latest, “Stillness Is the Key,” Ryan joins Glenn to discuss becoming the good man you’re striving to be, even in a chaotic world. A student of history and philosophy, he explores how bad times call up the best in us and debates what America looks like at some unknown, never-before-seen "rock bottom." Although some have tried to get rid of America’s heroes and legacy, Ryan sees a glimmer of hope in each of us. And stillness, he stresses, is key to finding meaning in the chaos.

You would think that jumping on a grenade to save the lives of his fellow Marines would be the defining moment of Kyle Carpenter’s life. But anyone willing to sacrifice his own life must have had quite the story to tell already. And miraculously, he’s survived to tell it. The youngest living Medal of Honor recipient, Kyle can’t remember his heroic act. He recounts his life before the grenade, the surreal moments right after the explosion, and the amazing things he’s chosen to do with his second chance at life. The author of “You Are Worth It: Building a Life Worth Fighting For,” he’s chosen to embrace his scars and spread hope and kindness across the nation.

Today, journalists are expected to fall in line with the media narrative. But if they dare to do real journalism, they’d better watch their backs. South African-born investigative journalist Lara Logan has built her career on the front lines of history, and she’s paid a heavier price for truth than most can imagine — targeted and smeared by the media, not to mention the brutal atrocities she’s lived through in the field. It takes a special breed to stand back up even once! Lara recounts her unbelievable career reporting from active war zones and everything she’s learned about the Left’s disinformation, the world’s radicals, and the true American dream.

America has forgotten how blessed it has been throughout its history. But Michael Medved hasn’t just studied history – he’s lived it. He worked on the Robert F. Kennedy campaign on the day he was shot. He went to Yale Law School with Bill and Hillary Clinton. He’s a former liberal activist who argues what the modern-day Left adamantly refutes: America is a kingdom of kindness, blessed by God. Film critic, best-selling author, acclaimed conservative radio host, and proud American, Michael sits down with Glenn to discuss his latest book, “God’s Hand on America: Divine Providence in the Modern Era.” From freedom to electricity, America has made the world a better place.

The leftist media has tried to whitewash her, paint her as privileged, and call her a traitor to her race. But conservative activist and BLEXIT founder Candace Owens has had enough of the games and victimization. Once a leftist herself, she watched as the Left demonized cultural icons like Donald Trump and Kanye West and realized how dependent the Left is on black America. She has experienced firsthand how desperately the Left insists that black Americans are victims in the Trump era, especially when they disagree. But her rough upbringing and strong work ethic have led her to a different calling: to free black America from the bondage of progressivism.

Ruth Graham speaks with Glenn about the life she hid and the life of Christ she believes can work miracles in everyone. She reveals her deepest lessons learned growing up as the middle child of the pastor to the presidents, what Christians see in President Trump, and why she praises the Lord for Kanye West.

American war hero, CIA contractor, serial entrepreneur, and the face of the most freedom-filled coffee America has ever brewed. Black Rifle Coffee Company executive vice president Mat Best wasn’t always the bearded, gun-toting, whiskey-drinking war veteran YouTube has grown to love. In high school, he was a scrawny kid in the botany club! Glenn and Mat dive into his untold history, his years as an Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan, and his mission to serve our veterans and help them overcome PTSD through comedy and community — not to mention plenty of caffeinated insight into coffee, filmmaking, and, of course, America, the Constitution, and being a patriot.

On the surface, Kamal Ravikant has lived an impressive life. He’s traveled the world, served in the U.S. Army, and started several companies and a venture capital firm. But when his business ventures took a steep nosedive, he spiraled into a wild depression, fueled by drug addiction and an abusive childhood. But instead of giving in to destruction and suicide, he wrote a vow: “I’m going to love myself.” Those simple words transformed his life. And he wrote a best-selling book to teach others how to do the same: “Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It.” Kamal and Glenn sit down for an honest conversation about self-help, mental health, the reason why addiction exists, and the importance of having a purpose bigger than yourself.

The Russia probe spent two years trying to prove that President Trump had colluded with Russians to rig the 2016 election – only to find nothing! But while it further divided the nation, one former Trump campaign adviser had his whole career upended. Carter Page was falsely called a Russian agent, relentlessly battered by the media, and illegally spied on by the FBI. Now he’s striking back against a corrupt permanent bureaucracy by suing the DNC for funding the debunked Steele dossier that started it all. Hear the story of the real costs of the Mueller probe and the steps Carter Page is taking to make sure no more Americans are attacked by a government only concerned with its own survival.

Today’s youth are not the lazy socialists they’re seen as – and Charlie Kirk is proof. At just 26 years old, he’s the founder and president of Turning Point USA, the fastest-growing youth organization in America. A fresh conservative voice acclaimed by President Trump, he and TPUSA promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government on over 1,500 campuses nationwide. Glenn and Charlie sit down for a crossover interview covering the biggest questions in conservatism: Should the Right support bans? Are we still “one nation under God?” And can freedom still accomplish miracles? The Declaration said it best: “All Men are created equal.” But we must be free to fail, free to progress, and free to succeed. Today’s episode is a special cross post brought to you with our friends at The Charlie Kirk Show.

Rarely has there been a politician as honest, bold, and humble as Nikki Haley. A true role model, she never wanted to be a politician. But as governor, she led South Carolina through one of its worst tragedies. And as ambassador to the U.N., she used her famous “taking names” approach to reclaim America’s strong reputation of leadership. One of the only Trump officials to leave without a tweet, she wasn’t always a Trump fan. But by simply speaking the truth, the two quickly gained a strong trust. Nikki Haley details how she saw firsthand the Deep State’s attempts to circumvent Trump, as well as Trump’s true support for Israel and “soft words, but strong actions” approach to Russia and China. And as for her own future, she’s not done yet. This Week's Sponsors: Quip dental products are intentionally designed to make good habits simple.

Despite how progressives may try to rewrite history, the truth is the Pilgrims were America’s first abolitionists. In fact, they also planted seeds for our equality, free market, freedom of religion, education, due process, private property, and much more! One year shy of the Plymouth Rock landing’s 400th anniversary, America has embraced Jamestown as our nation’s birthplace. Glenn sits with historians Leo Martin and David Barton, and Tim Ballard, CEO of The Nazarene Fund, in a house known as Plot No. 1, where the first Thanksgiving was held. Together, they tell the true tale of the Pilgrims – why they came here, their personal relationship with God, and their strong emphasis on family. THESE were the seeds of our nation.

David J. Harris Jr. came to know God in a very personal way. Once an alcoholic, womanizer, heavy drug user, and severely depressed, he now knows he’s here for a reason and even calls God “Papa.” And he saw a similar transformation in Kanye West. Harris believes God is doing great things through Kanye’s album, “Jesus Is King,” and with his influence on race relations. Harris argues that the racial division put front and center by Obama has left our nation unforgiving and afraid to speak. But voices like Kanye West and Candace Owens echo Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the fight against oppression and socialism. Our nation needs a revival of humility and to once more see God as the Good Papa he is. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Federalism is the partition of power between state and national governments, with an emphasis on the states – a core American principle that attorney Josh Hammer believes we are leaving behind. Hammer is the editor at large at the Daily Wire and of counsel for First Liberty Institute, specializing in religious liberty and First Amendment cases. He is a steadfast advocate for America’s return to the federalist principles of our founding and, just as importantly, the Judeo-Christian values of our Constitution and Declaration of Independence. In a country divided against itself more and more, Hammer urges us to hold Abraham Lincoln over Woodrow Wilson, Plymouth over Jamestown, and Americanism over socialism.

David Mellor considers himself “one of the luckiest people in the world,” and his story is AMAZING. He was hit by two different cars in two different cities – and both smashed his knee. He has had dozens of surgeries and suffered from severe PTSD for 29 years without even realizing it. But through it all, his love for his family and Red Sox baseball kept him going, and he became the leading innovator of creative turf patterns. David’s new book, “One Base at a Time,” tells his unbelievable story of overcoming PTSD, from a life of nightmares to a life of wonder. But most importantly, he gives hope for everyone feeling broken that life can still be fulfilling. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

David Barton has been described as “America’s historian.” He is a best-selling author and the founder of WallBuilders, and he sits on the board of Mercury One, Glenn’s humanitarian and educational charity. And if combined with Glenn's, his private collection of founding-era documents would be rivaled only by the Library of Congress. Barton and Glenn take a look at a few artifacts on both the good and bad sides of history. Most importantly, they emphasize knowing WHY you believe what you do. History has been dulled and politicized in our schools and government – and our Bill of Rights is suffering from it. But organizations like WallBuilders and Mercury One are dedicated to preserving and teaching the truth. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Andrii Telizhenko is calling out the DNC for corruption in Ukraine, but the mainstream media will not listen! As a former adviser to both Ukraine’s prosecutor general Victor Shokin and the Ukrainian embassy in Washington, he refused to work with the DNC to dig up dirt on Trump. He describes how Alexandra Chalupa introduced herself as a DNC worker, how conservatives were blocked from communicating, and how it’s no secret in Ukraine why Biden demanded Shokin be fired. According to Telizhenko, this meddling was one of the main reasons the Ukrainian people voted a COMEDIAN into office instead of another politician. He has seen firsthand the how the mainstream media is rewriting this story, but the facts WILL be set straight! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Zuby is a British rapper, author, and podcast host who went viral after claiming he broke the British women’s deadlift record because he “identified as a woman whilst lifting.” Raised in Saudi Arabia and working in the U.K., Zuby sees the United States as a country that raises its flags high even while plagued by the religion of social justice. Glenn and Zuby compare the U.S. and the U.K., from Boris Johnson and Brexit to the Second Amendment and homelessness. But on both sides of the pond and around the world, people are tired of corruption and want to be heard. Above all, Zuby strives for authenticity and truth in a world that would rather make everything political and polarizing. And he’s using his music and life to spread the message.

Tania Joya grew up in a British Muslim community believing that she was only half as valuable as a man. She was radicalized by a college friend who told her America “deserved” 9/11 and soon after became a mail-order bride to an American who would rise in the ranks of ISIS. But through it all, she sensed something truly evil about the oppressive, hate-filled culture of Islamism that told her she had no rights. She now proudly says that the FBI and America saved her life – and gave her the freedom to tell quite a story. Tania doesn’t hold back as she lays out exactly what jihadism is and what she’s doing now to deradicalize the individuals it has enslaved. Learn more about your ad choices.

Imagine if free will just disappeared – and we didn’t even notice. Author and psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein started researching Google before the 2016 election and has since found chilling evidence that this is now the reality we’re facing. A Clinton supporter himself, he was disturbed to see how bias in Google’s search results was shifting votes to the left – and it didn’t stop there. Epstein warns about how everything from Google’s “free” tools to its work with world governments is part of a massive data-collecting surveillance system. He predicts that if this continues, in 2020 we won’t be able to distinguish between reality and the suggestions we’re fed. That is, unless we fight tech with tech. Learn more about your ad choices.

Author and attorney Philip K. Howard is at the forefront of legal reform and the fight against government micromanagement. His latest book, “Try Common Sense: Replacing the Failed Ideologies of Right and Left,” takes aim at the bloated bureaucracies of both parties and proposes a practical government that allows Americans to live WITHOUT all the red tape. In this interview, Glenn and Philip discuss how our overstuffed rule books – mixed with modern fears of failure, pain, and lawsuits – have created a less free society. From teachers burdened with paperwork to men afraid to mentor, our regulations need a massive overhaul. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Author and National Review correspondent Kevin Williamson doesn’t fall neatly into any political box. He was a conservative diversity hire at The Atlantic – fired three days later for that exact reason. He wrote a book called “The Case Against Trump,” but is definitely not a fan of leftists. He isn’t afraid to speak his mind, and his not-so-family-friendly newest book, “The Smallest Minority: Independent Thinking in the Age of Mob Politics” hammers it home. In this interview, Glenn and Kevin sit down to discuss how capitalism has massively boosted the quality of life even in the last 50 years, why we’ve traded our sense of purpose for Twitter bickering, and the unimaginable freedom the future will bring – if we don’t mess it all up first.

Comedian Jamie Kilstein had his whole world turned upside down by the #MeToo movement. Once a self-described far-left feminist, he was surprised at how quickly his own people disowned him over claims he knew were very skewed — and the support he got was from the people he once mocked. Now he’s sitting down for an interview with one of them, the notorious Glenn Beck himself. They discuss life for a comedian who’s tired of selling out to political correctness, the humbling rock-bottom experience that brought him here, and the honesty that the American people want so much.

In all modern logic, Tim Pool and Glenn Beck should not get along. But after Trump’s election, this anarchist, avid environmentalist, and former Bernie-supporter saw the Democrat Party shift radically before his eyes. Now the left calls him a conservative, just for holding on to American values, reality, and individual rights. In this interview, Tim joins Glenn to show how two people can disagree on politics, yet still hold the same principles, including free speech, nonviolence, and hearing people out. With this common ground, they dive in to everything from socialism, open borders, and the alt-right to Elon Musk’s NeuraLink, Facebook’s Libra, and the frightening future of AI algorithms.

Glenn and the “notorious” former NYU professor, Michael Rectenwald, both believe that Big Tech, China, and the Left share similar - authoritarian - goals. Rectenwald’s newest book, “The Google Archipelago,” explores just that. In it, he imagines a world that’s sounding more familiar each day: 5G, AI, transhumanism, constant connection to the internet, and all the possibilities that opens up – digital erasing, book burning, Revelation-style marking, and the creation of what he calls “digital gulags.” In this interview, Glenn and Rectenwald discuss the power we give to Big Tech companies, why they’re helping China control its people, and what’s in store for us. Because, as they note, evil comes dressed fashionably, saying it’s for our own good. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
