The Glenn Beck Program
Deep Dive
Why are some people comparing the man accused of murdering the UnitedHealthcare CEO to Robin Hood?
Some people are labeling the accused as a modern-day Robin Hood, suggesting he stole from the rich to give to the poor, but this misrepresents the original story of Robin Hood, which was anti-Marxist and anti-government corruption.
What is the true story of Robin Hood?
Robin Hood's story is about taking back wealth from a corrupt government and giving it to the people, making it an anti-Marxist and anti-fascist tale.
Why does Glenn Beck believe Marxism is behind the hatred for America's healthcare system?
Beck argues that Marxism has influenced government policies that have made the healthcare system inefficient and overly controlled, leading to public frustration and anger.
What did Brian Bergen find frustrating about the briefing on the drones in New Jersey?
Bergen was frustrated by the lack of effort and incompetence shown during the briefing, where officials claimed they knew nothing about the drones' origins or purpose, despite having resources to track them.
What is Glenn Beck's theory about the drones over New Jersey?
Beck speculates that the drones might be a message from the U.S. government to other nations, possibly related to military technology, rather than an external threat like Iran.
What is Mitch McConnell's secret war on Trump?
McConnell is reportedly working behind the scenes to undermine Trump's foreign policy and populist agenda, particularly by supporting continued funding for wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.
How does Chris Bedford describe Mitch McConnell's influence in Washington?
Bedford describes McConnell as a shadow operator with a vast patronage network in Washington, controlling mid-level staffers and access to power, which he uses to maintain his influence.
What does Glenn Beck believe is the reason for Trump's stronger position in the 2024 election compared to 2020?
Beck believes Trump is now more aware of the corruption in Washington and has a better understanding of how to navigate it, making him more effective in his second term.
