Summary

With a struggling economy, interest rates through the roof, a constantly confused President Biden, and an intense GOP battle for the House speaker role, it’s hard for many Americans to feel hopeful about our nation. But that’s not the case for journalist Walter Kirn. In fact, the author of "Into the Air" tells Glenn he’s optimistic about the U.S. thanks to the small towns that fuel it. Kirn, who recently launched a podcast — “America This Week” — with Matt Taibbi, joins this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast" to hash out his thoughts on the world today: from the rise of post-COVID totalitarianism and his biggest fear concerning the elite class to the recent Hamas terror attack against Israel, which he says took his breath away. Kirn warns that America may soon witness firsthand the same kind of anti-Semitism that eventually culminated in the Holocaust, and he calls out college campuses for helping to fuel the fire. Plus, Glenn and Kirn examine the growing suppression of free speech, the increased censorship of dissenting voices, and why he’s "emotionally ready" for the apocalypse.

0:00.0	Too many reporters are terrified to be exposed as a conservative, or a centrist, or even just
0:05.3	unliberal, I guess. It's a creative industry. So, of course, it tends to lean left politically,
0:12.8	but I can tell you that underneath all of the division in the media, there lies a pile
0:18.5	of industry gamesmanship. And in this media hell pit, the true hero is the person
0:26.0	willing to expose all of it, no matter what the cost is. The Wall Street Journal described
0:31.6	today's podcast guest as Middle America's defiant defender, probably because of his work to
0:38.0	examine the real America, a country that seems to have forgotten itself. He recently launched
0:43.9	America this week, a podcast with Matt Taiibi, where they perform an autopsy on the news of the day.
0:50.8	His latest major project is as a founder and editor of large of county highway,
0:58.8	a newspaper, a newspaper without any digital footprint at all. It is storytelling for the real
1:06.4	America. Like, you know, if the New Yorker didn't portray the middle of the country as a
1:11.9	breeding ground for inbred morons, and then also didn't have political cartoons that nobody
1:19.7	understands. Ultimately, he's a rebel, not because it's cool or fashionable, because it's in
1:26.3	his bones, it's who he is, a rebel in a constant search for truth in an age when we need it most.
1:33.0	Buckle in for this one, Walter Kern. I can't wait to get to the podcast some big fan of
1:39.5	Walters, and I hear he listens to the show. So we'll see what this could be very interesting.
1:46.0	Every Halloween, you hear about the dangers of candy your kids will get, but this year,
1:50.4	the real tricks are in the meat aisle. Good ranchers want you to take the trick out of your meat
1:56.8	that they're throwing in, you know, whenever you go into the meat aisle, and they want to give you
2:01.6	the treat. Lab-grown meat is growing more and more popular. Foreign meat dresses up as a product
2:09.6	of USA, a little label there, and M-RNA vaccine development is on the rise for agriculture.
2:16.2	What's in your food and your meat? It's more important than ever before. It
