Starting point is 00:02:27 that matters to me is that Stu is very sad today that the Eagles lost. So it's a personal victory for me. We begin the program with a quick look at the Super Bowl, and then We have some new news on the FBI and the Secret Service and Biden. No, no, no, no, nothing corrupt is going on. Pay attention to the aliens from space that are attacking us with balloons. Oh my gosh. We begin there in 60 seconds. So you're going through every day.

Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800 the number four relief. 800, the number four relief. It's relieffactor.com. Okay. Well, good news. Good news. for you. We're finally getting down to the bottom of it. CNN is reporting now on the truth behind the he gets us ads. Yeah, I don't know about you, but when that he gets us Jesus ad, I was like, Jesus on the Super Bowl in America. What is happening? I, he gets us. They're promoting Jesus, it's completely out of control.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Yeah, I'll give that to you here in just a little while. Also, another unidentified object was shot down over the Great Lakes. Yes, this is the third time we've done it in three days. Yeah, today, will the aliens come in the big, big balloon? I mean, they're all singing, up up and away in our alien balloon. You really think that they came from another planet and they're using a balloon.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Here's the story from the New York Post. U.S. fighter jets shot down an unidentified object over Lake Huron on Sunday, making it the third time such action was taken in as many days. And coming on the heels of last week's China spy balloon, saga. The spy balloon, but I thought that was completely innocent. In fact, can we please play that Joe Biden clip where he was, he's doing an interview and he so eloquently explains how it is just no threat. Listen. Wasn't it a major security bridge for the United States? Just the fact that the balloon came into the airspace and flew over the country for so many days. No, look, the total amount
Starting point is 00:06:40 of intelligence gatherings going on by every country around the world is overwhelming. Yes, Spector. And the idea that a balloon could traverse, break American airspace is, is what is. Anyway, it's not a major breach. Who doesn't feel better? Our commander in chief in total command there, it's, you know, whatever. So I feel better about that.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Now, it was an octagonal object and it was tracked by radar over Montana Saturday. But then it began to fly in proximity to sensitive Department of Defense sites. Who knew even had those? They said it was not a kinetic military threat or, you know, threat to anything on the ground. but it was a safety hazard and a threat due to its potential surveillance capabilities. The Chinese balloon had none of that, none of that. The Air Force officials say the latest three objects in the airspace are different, however, from the Chinese spy balloon. Yeah, yeah, they're different.
Starting point is 00:08:02 We're called this according to an Air Force general. Telling reporters, we're calling them objects and not balloons for a reason. Ooh, they're objects, like unidentified, flying objects. Well, here's the reason. They're calling them that so President Biden can look tough on balloons. But they're not balloons. I mean, you know, it wasn't. my birthday over the weekend and there were a lot of unidentified objects up by the ceiling of my
Starting point is 00:08:43 house. I shot them all down. I took out my gun and I shot them all out of the sky because they were hovering over sensitive sites in my house, mainly the plate of meat. And God only knows. God only knows. So we got that going for us. Now, um, Just to give you a little extra trust, you know, for people in Washington. By the way, did you see that I'm on the government list of disinformation? I'm a purveyor of disinformation. We're going to get into this a little later. I found this interesting because I thought, yeah, well, it was probably the ESG thing.
Starting point is 00:09:29 You know, the Great Reset or, you know, you know, the, you know, The world economic forum has any power to, quote, infiltrate, you know, cabinets, you know, all around the world. It was probably that. Or, or, or it might have been all the way back to Benghazi, you know, when I told you what really happened and how that was going to lead to a caliphate, which it, it course didn't. ISIS, sure, they declared it, but it was not. That's a conspiracy theory. Okay. Or the fact that our federal reserve is just printing money and you're going to have inflation, you know. What a dangerous disinformation puppet I am.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Anyway, we can trust the government. We have a story now from Judicial Watch. They have received the records from the Secret Service related to the investigation of Hunter Biden's gun, which was thrown into a dumpster, you know, right across the street from a high school. But no big deal. These new records suggest that maybe, perhaps, we shouldn't take a face value, face value, the Secret Service denial that it wasn't involved in the Hunter Biden gun cover-up. What?
Starting point is 00:10:59 Wait a minute. A federal agency possibly helping out the president of the United States a Democrat and covering? What? Record show agency officials discussing media reports of its alleged involvement with one finding it, quote, odd. So this is a secret service guy writing to another secret service guy. Don't you think this is odd that we're involved in this investigation? Yeah, yeah. And this is at a time when, quote,
Starting point is 00:11:33 Joe and Hunter were not receiving secret service protection. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Another official respondent, maybe, maybe one secret service official says to another, maybe we were asked for a favor. Huh. Now I can't imagine that happening at all. The records show the agency alerted the Biden,
Starting point is 00:12:00 White House and crafted a public statement insisting it had no involvement in this alleged incident. In September 2022, Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act, a FOIA lawsuit for the records and communication about their reported purchase, possession, and disposal of a firearm owned by Hunter Biden found in a Delaware dumpster. The Judicial Watch reported, December 22 that Secret Service repeatedly had changed its position on whether or not it was in possession of records related to the investigation. Where did we put those records? No, we threw them out. Are you sure? We might have thrown them out. Or I have them in another pocket and another suit. The newly obtained records show that on October 29, 2020, a person whose name is redacted
Starting point is 00:12:56 emails a secret service official in the protective intelligence and assessment division with a link to a blaze article published earlier that day. Now, the good news is not only is glenbeck.com on the misinformation list, the official government misinformation list, but you should know the blaze.com is on that. list as well. And here's probably why. The Secret Service official sent a link to a Blaze article that was published earlier that day reporting that Hallie Biden had taken a handgun owned by Hunter Biden in October 2018 and thrown it into a trash bin. The official then forwards the article to another official in the Secret Service. That official's name also has has been redacted.
Starting point is 00:13:57 But later comments in the chain, oh dear. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, dear. Like, oh, dear me. Right? Like, you say that when you're not involved.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Right? Don't you? After being forwarded, the same Blaze article, an unidentified protective intelligence research specialist responds to his colleagues, it's kind of odd that we're involved in the missing gun investigation when neither Hunter or Joe are receiving U.S. Secret Service protection
Starting point is 00:14:33 at the time. Dot, dot, dot, HMM, otherwise known as hmm. To which another Secret Service official replies, maybe we were asked for a favor. But remember, they're not involved in any of this. Senior Secret Service officials who names were discovered in the record were also notified of the Blaze article. So they read us. They really, really read us. I feel so, so happy about that.
Starting point is 00:15:08 I mean, I read this article today and I was like, yeah, Lord, thank you for telling me to do the insane thing and start the Blaze. Maybe it was just for this. They include the people that got the email, James Henry, then Special Agent in Charge of Philadelphia Field Office, Michael Ambrosio, assistant director of the U.S. Secret Service, the Stephen Stanford, the then Deputy Assistant Director of the Secret Service. Luenzo Newsom the third then deputy director, Douglas Henderson, deputy assistant director, an office of investigations for the Secret Service. So for a group of people that was just not involved at all,
Starting point is 00:15:57 it seems as though a lot of people were interested in this story. In a response to a February 24th, 2021 inquiry from Politico, regarding the Secret Service involvement in the investigation. The Communications Department asked for more information and documentation. And the Politico writer says, sure thing. Sure thing. Can you get that for us? Agents visited StarQuest Shooters and Survival Supply
Starting point is 00:16:30 and asked to take possession of the paperwork. Hunter had filled out to purchase his gun there. The FBI seemed to have some involvement in that investigation too. Well, when he asked that, they immediately said, I don't know what you're talking about. Now, unfortunately, the gun store specifically remembers, and I believe they have surveillance tape, you know, in a gun store. They specifically remember a visit from the FBI.
Starting point is 00:17:07 FBI and the Secret Service. And they turned over that documentation. In it weird. But there's so much more. Back in 60 seconds. All right, let me tell you about Rough Greens. Meet naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black. Hello.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Dennis, I understand that you are the guy who came up with Rough Greens. Yeah, yeah, I did. Rough Greens, you know. It's good stuff. Now, that doesn't sound very technical. I don't want to get all doctory with you. Okay, thank you. So he put in probiotics, antioxidants,
Starting point is 00:17:46 vitamins, minerals, all that stuff. It's healthy for your dog. If it's healthy, it's in Rough Greens, most likely. And most dogs will love it and go crazy for it. Now, here's what I want you to do. I want you to go to Rough Greens. RUFF Greens.com slash Beck. They're going to give you a free trial bag,
Starting point is 00:18:03 just for it's a couple of days worth of you sprinkle on your dog's food. And if they like it, as much as Uno, does, you're going to be amazed just how they wolf this stuff down. Then you'll get the full bag. And after you get the full bag, you just watch the changes in your dogs over the coming months. 833, GLE and N-33, 833, 833, or RUFFGreens.com. That's roughgreens.com.
Starting point is 00:18:29 And you can go there now, roughgreens.com slash Beck. 10 seconds, station ID. Well, this story goes on and on. You can get it by going to judicial. watch if you'd like, or if you get my free email newsletter. It's one of the main stories today. The Hunter Biden Gun Update. Gee, it seems as though there might be some corruption going on in Washington.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Strange. Oh, by the way, one more thing that seems to indicate some corruption. The National Archives coordinated with President Biden's attorneys, for the discrete collection of classified documents. Now, remember, they found them at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C. Now, the Penn Biden Center, you will know because we've done episodes on TV about China and their influence on politicians and also on universities. Penn Biden Center, wow, a lot of Chinese cash there.
Starting point is 00:19:48 But hey, nothing to see there. They're not involved at all. And that's where a lot of these top secret documents were hanging out. However, we find out now that they also ship some boxes to the Boston office. So we know he had top secret documents at the Penn Center. And then he had that one. But it was next to his Corvette, which nobody could even get close to. I mean, that thing is tripwired with alarms like crazy.
Starting point is 00:20:20 You look into somebody's garage. Sure, they have a Sears garage door opener that pretty much anyone could hack. But, you know, you look in there and you're like, oh, it's a Corvette. That's a classic Corvette. That's got to be the safest place in the world. Sure, they found them there and it is vacation home. But now we also know that they grabbed a bunch of these documents and then sent them up to the Boston office, which is another completely safe place.
Starting point is 00:20:50 You know, any place in Boston is safe for classified documents. Anyway, apparently the archivist, who's such a stickler on these things, wasn't such a stickler on this. They were like, hey, can we just come over to Boston? I hear some are in Boston. Can we just pick them up? We'll just bring them over to the Kennedy, you know. political, whatever bull crap at Harvard.
Starting point is 00:21:19 And we'll just keep them there for a while. Oh, okay. Well, maybe the students could learn from them. Ooh, I wonder if they have any foreign students over there. Well, let's not hope. By the way, one other thing that I want to give to you here is apparently, you know, that big lump that was on John Federman's neck? It's not there anymore.
Starting point is 00:21:43 So he's good. He's good. Well, not exactly good. You know, he was in the hospital because they thought, oh, he might have had another stroke. Apparently he didn't. He's back to work today. But the New York Times has just, now this is going to come as a shock to you.
Starting point is 00:21:59 The New York Times, which said he was fine. New York Times reporting now that Federman, quote, has been left with a serious mental health issue, mental health issue and cannot understand often the words that others are saying to him as a result of the stroke. It also says that according to the New York Times now, that he struggles significantly worse when he's under any kind of stress. The times are now saying that he says that it's like trying to make out the muffled voice of the teacher. in a Peanuts cartoon where words could never be deciphered. Well, thank you, New York Times, just in time. Hey, let's welcome his wife as the new senator.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Yeah, before the end of the year, mark my words. Commies are coming to the Senate. The Glenn Back program. When you woke up this morning, you felt it, didn't you? You've forgotten something. Oh my gosh, this is the time for Valentine's Day. Is it tomorrow? Is tomorrow?
Starting point is 00:23:12 Yeah, it's tomorrow. I've done nothing. Nothing. Now, here's what you do. You turn that around and go, yeah? Well, what did you do for me? Yeah, okay, a card and some other stuff. Yeah, but where are the stakes?
Starting point is 00:23:28 And hopefully she doesn't have a steak or a steakhouse in mind. Good Ranchers is the way for you to ditch the usual gift that just don't cut it, all right? Say it with American meat. Snag $30 off with the promo code back at good ranchers.com. We just had good ranchers for our Super Bowl. We had chicken and meat. Ooh, it was delicious.

Starting point is 00:24:38 Some say this might just be a ruse. I think aliens are attacking us by using balloons. But maybe that's just me. Have you not seen Stephen King? I want to introduce you to somebody. His name is Kyle Serafin. He has been indefinitely suspended as an FBI special agent. He's also a U.S. Air Force veteran. He was working counterintelligence investigations for about two years. And then he went to a specialty surveillance team after about three years on the team. including time as assistant and primary leader.
Starting point is 00:25:18 He transferred to Los Cruces, Mexico, to work criminal cases. Now, during that time, he provided a number of protected disclosures to the House and Senate. He was a whistleblower. Then he had his suspension in April 22, and then his security clearance in June 22 went away. he is a Catholic, a practicing Catholic, and here's what led to his suspension. His pro-life stance, his belief in the oath of office, led him to refuse the COVID-19 jab and blowing the whistle on the FBI's misuse of resources to target parents protesting school board meetings. Also, he blew the whistle disclosing sexual misconduct by senior FBI management,
Starting point is 00:26:08 the abuse of the FISA authority by the FBI. There's so many things. Document showing the FBI was participating in election interference under the guise of policing misinformation, blah, blah, blah. So he has just blown the whistle on something else now. This is something we covered on Friday. FBI's Richmond Division would like to protect the people in Virginia from the threat of white supremacist in the forms.
Starting point is 00:26:43 I'm not making it in the form of Roman Catholic parishioners that prefer the Latin Mass. Yes, there, I said it. As ugly as it is, I said it. Kyle is with us now. Kyle Serafin, welcome. Glenn, thanks so much. That was a very kind intro.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Well, I just, I had to get the ugly truth out there, Kyle. So federal whistleblower, thank you for that. And thank you for the service that you did do as an FBI agent. So are you a Catholic? I am. You are a Catholician. Are you an extremist? I think the FBI would think so at this point.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Yeah, I think so too. I'm a constitutional. Yeah, I'm a constitutional extremist. I think that the government should stay out of our First Amendment rights and should stay off our Second Amendment rights and should get a search warrant if they want to go and search us under the Fourth Amendment. I mean, it goes down the list. I'm a Bill of Rights extremist, and I just think the government should stay in its own lane.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Yeah, but do you want the Mass in Latin? You want the Catholic? I love the, yeah, it's not easy to find where I am, actually. I'm in kind of a remote part of Arizona at the moment. But I love the Latin Mass. I actually grew up learning Latin. I went to Cistercian schools and had a couple years of that, and then I went to Jesuit schools and had four more years of Latin,
Starting point is 00:28:02 and it's a beautiful ceremony, so why not? All right. Well, it sounds extreme to me. So, Kyle, they are, it appears in the information that you leaked to Congress, it appears as though they are now infiltrating traditional Catholic places of worship and I guess Catholic traditional traditional clubs or I don't know what they have. but they're actually targeting and infiltrating now to find these rebels. That's right. Well, so what the document showed, and this was an intelligence product coming out of Richmond's field office, as you noted. It's an intelligence analyst's recommendation that there are, quote, unquote, mitigation opportunities using source recruitment within the church to ward off these, you know, white supremacists, the what they call racially motivated violent extremists.
Starting point is 00:29:04 and by doing something like that, they're suggesting source recruitment within the church, 100%. Now, to the FBI's credit and maybe also to its condemnation, it withdrew this document, or at least they've said that publicly to the number of news sources that have reached out to them. They said, well, this was not meeting our exacting standards. Here's the thing. It was sourced under three different publicly available sources. Number one, the Southern Poverty Law Center, which we all know is probably actually a hate group. And then secondarily, they've got the Atlantic, that bastion of right-wing conservatism, and the salon.com magazine, which had two hit pieces basically suggesting that Milo Unopolis represents the views of the Catholic Church.
Starting point is 00:29:45 I don't think that's the case as a Catholic. I'm open to being corrected, of course. Sure. Now, let me ask you, Kyle. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Alexander Dugan, but he is from Russia. He's one of the main brains. he was the brain behind Crimea, the invasion and everything there. And he is what's called a traditionalist.
Starting point is 00:30:05 He's not Catholic. He's a traditionalist with a capital T, not small T. And there is a traditionalist movement capital T that is very dangerous. And it's pushed by Dugan and financed by many Russians. And it is here in America. And it has infiltrated many churches. not necessarily the Catholics, but many churches have been infiltrated by this. Is there any chance that that's the traditionalism that they're talking about?
Starting point is 00:30:43 I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. Well, you can look at the analyst's note, and the analyst basically says, we're talking about Catholics here that sort of reject the post-Vatican II Council reforms, which is to move the mass into the vernacular and to be more accepting of other. world religions and that there's, you know, this sort of, this concern that they put in quote, with a lower case tea, traditionalist Catholics, you know, have the potential of being recruited to ideologies like white supremacy and anti-Semitism and some other things. So it'd be nice if we could give them the benefit, but they don't seem to deserve it in this case, at least this particular
Starting point is 00:31:17 write-up. So can I ask you, Kyle, is this the, it just had this discussion with somebody over at the house last night in the Super Bowl. It's always fun at my house. And somebody said, you know, the stuff going on with the FBI, I don't trust the FBI at all as an agency, but do you think it's all the way down to the individual agents? And my guess is no, that the local agents are pretty good. This poison's coming from Washington, but I don't know. Can you give light on that? It's a little bit of both.
Starting point is 00:31:55 So I've got a little podcast. I did an interview last night with Mark Hout. And so he was famously arrested by 20-plus agents and some state troopers in Pennsylvania for protesting outside of an abortion clinic and defending his son. Pretty much a pretty standard fare in America. If you come up and say a bunch of horrible things in front of a 12-year-old, if you got it shoved to the ground, that's probably a pretty light punishment. And it's a pretty reasonable action I think most people would agree with.
Starting point is 00:32:20 And so he had agents at all levels. And the fact of the matter is that when you have agents that are given an opportunity to carry out a search warrant or arrest warrant, and they see the probable cause statement, and they're okay with what was said about people like Mark. And then when you also look at sort of the deeper level, which is that I had agents in my office in Las Cruces, New Mexico, which is a tiny little place.
Starting point is 00:32:41 There are only two abortion clinics in the state of New Mexico. At least there were in 2021 when this went down. There was a pill mill where they literally only did pharmaceutical interventions, and then there was a surgical facility up in Albuquerque. We sent two agents from my little office, and my office only had something like 12 or 13 agents total working there. for, you know, 100 plus miles of Mexican border. And they went down and interviewed a couple of Catholic ladies who had an ultrasound trailer
Starting point is 00:33:05 who tried to talk women out of aborting their babies. Oh, my gosh. And they did an interview on that. So these are GS-13 level. This is what we call the brick agent level or what people often call rank and file. You know, they went out there and did that. And why did they do it? They did it because the field office had stated that the number three counterterrorism priority
Starting point is 00:33:23 in the state of New Mexico. Like I said, hundreds of miles of Mexican border and cartels left and right, The number three national security priority was enforcement of the FACE Act, which is this free access to clinics piece. So I don't know that you can say that it's just Washington. I think a lot of people are willing to put their head down and do their job and bury themselves in work, but they're not willing to step up and go, you know, this doesn't fit what I signed up for. And this is really antithetical to the oath that I swore. So I'm not going to do that thing that you just asked and then face whatever those consequences are. I felt that way about the COVID shots.
Starting point is 00:33:55 I felt like they really rooted out and found sort of a completely. appliance opportunity, and they found everybody that was not willing to comply. There's about 3,000 people in the bureau. And now they're slowly targeting them. And every whistleblower that I've dealt with is an unvaccinated Christian for whatever that's worth. Unvaccinated against COVID. Wow. Have you read ordinary men, the book? I can't say that I have. Okay. So it's about the police battalion, 101. And I had been briefed on this by my buddies who have read the book. Oh, you need to read it.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Every law enforcement or concerned citizen should read this. It's about what happened in Poland in 1942. One of the spectacular battalions of police, and they were turned internally, quickly overnight. And they became more ruthless than the SS. And this book is just a study that was done after the war. how did that happen? And I think that's happening to our FBI right now. And you just, you know, small little steps and you just keep going with it,
Starting point is 00:35:05 even though you're like, I don't think this feels right. You just keep going. That's right. Yeah, my first public interview I did with Dan Bongino, and there's a poignant piece at the end of the second hour, which is a long interview to do with anybody. But we talked about the FBI trip to the Holocaust Museum. And all agents are required, or at least they were,
Starting point is 00:35:23 there's some rumor that they may have actually discontinued this trip. But there's a Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. We all go through and walk it, and they have a very particular law enforcement-only program. And it's meant for any law enforcement at any level, state, federal, local, doesn't matter. The whole point of it is that if you get federal officials, you get your state, your local, and your federal law enforcement, and usually the military as well, on board with whatever it is you're doing, then you can carry out all kinds of atrocities. But every single level there has the opportunity to throw that flag and say, no, this is wrong.
Starting point is 00:35:52 This is immoral. This is unjust. And I'm not going to participate. And when that happens, you put, you know, things like the genocidal actions that happen in the Holocaust, you know, you freeze it in this tracks. That's the goal of that of that trip is to teach us that that is an opportunity to say no. And what we saw in 2020 and 2021 was that a lot of people knew things were wrong. And my own supervisor was a great example. He said, I believe that what you're doing is correct. And I believe in your right to refuse this, you know, this vaccine shot. And yet I have a mortgage. I have alimony. I've got to pay my money. ex-wife and I can't agree with you. So do what you're told. And the answer was, well, no, I'm not going to do that. Wow. So I've got about a minute left. Is this, are we able to fix this or do we have to, you know, turn it on or turn it off and turn it back on again and reboot the entire system? I think the latter. As you probably know, I'm friends with Stephen Friend in Florida. And we talk about this all the time. But I don't think that you can save the agency without, there's only one, you know, narrow path you could remove the domestic intelligence mission and remove sort of the intelligence component. But in reality, so many people are compromised because of their own decisions at this point. Yeah. In the last two years, maybe three
Starting point is 00:37:05 years, that, you know, they've really tipped their own hand and they have to doubt themselves. Like, they haven't, they've walked over probably their own personal line in the sand and walked into territory that is, that is antithetical to their own oath. And they probably feel it. And I don't know that you can reboot an agency that easily. So, you know, I don't know if Congress has the stones to do so, but that should be what's on the table discussing a total teardown and either a renovation or maybe just move the mission and build it somewhere else with a brand that's not been so corroded. Well, I will tell you that I've talked to several people in Washington and the ones that I know and respect are in for a reboot, whether all the
Starting point is 00:37:41 rest of the weasels will do it or not. I don't know. Thank you. Thank you so much, Kyle. Again, thank you for your service. Thank you for any, any F.

Starting point is 00:40:00 These people are talking. Now they're starting to yell at each other. Oh my God. Look at this. All these people protesting. Politicians yelling at each other. Oh, people on a plane rushing to get out. Old people, yelling at young people.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Young people olding and yelling at old people. People of different color arguing. Oh my gosh. What is happening? Jesus loved the people we hate. He gets us. Now, I don't know how that got past the censors. This is disturbing preaching love.
Starting point is 00:40:51 So it's part of a hundred million dollar media investment. And it is, oh, the camera. campaign, quote, is arresting. I think that's code language to the FBI. Yeah. Came from a bunch of philanthropists who believe that we should probably start listening to Jesus. And it's what's weird is the people, a lot of Christians believe it's a woke campaign. And the left believes it's a dangerous Jesus campaign. So it's working out well. We're listening like Jesus did.
Starting point is 00:41:32 The Glenn Beck program. Already Philadelphia is hell. And I say that just as somebody who lived there, so I know. But it's tragic, tragically sad. So coming up in just a minute, we have one of the guys who broke the story about the disinformation that the government is giving on disinformation. They've put Glennbeck.com
Starting point is 00:42:04 and also blaze.com as false and misleading. So they're ones that really social media should watch and maybe you shouldn't watch as much because we're on the naughty list. It's so naughty. We're going to get coal.
Starting point is 00:42:22 Not coal. That's CO2. Why do you want to kill the Earth's Santa. There's something else here now. Something new. From exclusively on Paramount Plus. It's the series Stephen King calls scary as hell.

And gosh, I'd hate to rub salt in the wound. but I think I just might have to. Congratulations to Kansas City.
Starting point is 00:44:18 Let me bring you to a very important journalist, what works for the Washington Examiner, which if you don't read the Washington Examiner, you should read that every day. Gabe Kaminsky, he's an investigative reporter, and he does him digging into this foreign group that is making all kinds of cash secretly blacklisting people like me.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Bledbeck.com, blaze.com, and a whole host of others working to get people to cancel all of the commercials, so then we go out of business. And you know what? They're doing a pretty terrible job because business is booming right now. Of course, I can't say the same for traditional media.
Starting point is 00:45:16 And we're doing it without a campaign. Because they're doing it to themselves. Gabe Kaminsky joins us in 60 seconds. All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about preborn. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. And that should get you thinking about hearts and sweetness and little cherub-looking. angels and cherub-looking angels. Ah, maybe make you think of babies. Before my, before my son was born,
Starting point is 00:45:50 Tanya and I tried to have a baby really for a long time. And there is nothing more fun than, you know, two years in trying, and you're like, hurry up. I got to put my legs up by 2 p.m. Oh my gosh, it's so romantic. Anyway, we adopted, Ray. And his mother was a teenage girl who could have aborted the baby, but she didn't. God bless her, she didn't. And she's a superhero for doing that. Saving babies, there's nothing better than saving babies. I can't imagine my world without my son.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Well, how many babies have been killed? How many babies are not being born? Just today. Preborn is a system of clinic. around the country and they're in some of the biggest abortion centers and they are working to save babies. They're the largest provider of free ultrasounds in the nation because once a mom comes in who's considering an abortion, she comes in and she sees the baby on ultrasound. She is like, I think it's like 80% more likely to have the baby and not abort the baby.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Share a heartbeat, will you? Dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby. Pound 2.5. 50 keyword baby or go to preborn.com slash Beck, sponsored by Preborn. Gabe, what a tremendous series of articles that you have written. Thank you for being on the program. Thank you very much, Glenn. I appreciate that. And thank you for having me. You bet.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Okay. So explain what you have uncovered and why it's important. Essentially unpacked in a multi-part series that, we are still working on about how essentially these organizations, particularly we highlighted a group called the Global Disinformation Index. And these organizations are feeding secret blacklists to advertising companies with the intent of shutting down and defunding disfavored speech. In this case, certainly conservative media. And so we actually learn that the Washington Examiner, among other outlets, is a, on this blacklist and that this process is playing a very major role in how media outlets are
Starting point is 00:48:21 gaining access to advertising dollars. The second part of our series, sort of the most important part of this, I think, is that the United States government has funded the disinformation tracking organization that is, as we said openly taking steps to defund and be platform disfavored speech, certainly raising First Amendment issues. Okay, well, hang on just a sec. First, global disinformation index sounds very official. Who is this group? Information index is a British organization that is two affiliated American nonprofit organizations that have both been reaping hundreds of thousands of kind of as this disinformation tracking space accelerates.
Starting point is 00:49:14 And so global disinformation index, they compile a secret dynamic exclusion list, essentially a blacklist. And this list compiles groups that they determine to be peddling alleged disinformation. So this organization has said publicly that the outlets that it deems the riskiest are outlets like the American Spectator, the American Conservative, the Daily Wire. the Blaze, Newsmax, and several other outlets. And so their blacklist separately is something that they provide to advertising companies, like the Microsoft owned Zander, in order for those advertising companies to have insight
Starting point is 00:49:59 into the outlets that they should allegedly de-platform and defund. And what gives these people the experts? to make that determination. The question. You know, that's obviously a question. A lot of people's mind, certainly, Glenn. You know, these organizations are heavily staffed with an oversaw. They're oversawed by people, university professors, writers, and journalists.
Starting point is 00:50:32 One individual on the board of the Global Disinformation Index is Ann Applebaum, a left-reveined journalist who admitted the Hunter Biden laptop story. Other individuals are involved with groups like the Pew Research Center, the Open Society Foundation, and Navidia notably. Yeah. Okay. So they're going around. And I mean, this is something that Media Matters was doing.
Starting point is 00:51:01 And really, despite what it is said in the papers quite unaffectively with me when I was on just radio and Fox. And they would target and target and target and target. But now you're looking really at Google and Amazon as the big advertisers. And they're targeting all of these agencies, if you will, that are really media platforms, correct? which obviously, you know, has certainly thrown under the radar has developed major influence clearly in the advertising space based on the fact that Microsoft we learned was subscribing to this list. Microsoft obviously one of the most, one of the largest corporations throughout the world.
Starting point is 00:52:04 I'm just looking at the review of the Huffington Post. The this is, their risk level is low. So feel free to. advertise. The Huffington Post largely features fact-based, unbiased content free of sensational text or visuals. The domain also refrain for perpetuating divisive narratives via the negative targeting of groups or individuals, you know, unless you're conservative or Republican. The outlet scores for the operations pillar indicators are imperfect, but it is better than most. Wow. Wow. So that's good. Yeah. And what I would like to flag, Glenn, is that the organizations, the news outlets,
Starting point is 00:52:51 that the Global Disinformation Index ranks as the 10 least riskiest, they all skewed to the left, notably except the Wall Street Journal, but notably they flagged Huffington Post, now Huff Post, and BuzzFeed News as allegedly the 10 risky outlets. As your listeners may remember, these are two media outlets that heavily peddled the steel dossier that intended to link Donald Trump to Russia. They also peddled the false notion that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation. These are two very problematic, legitimate disinformation campaigns that seeped into the American consciousness. Well, and I don't think people understand. The Wall Street Journal is actually used to be.
Starting point is 00:53:35 I don't know if it is anymore. It used to be more liberal in its news. pages than the New York Times. But because of the editorial section being so conservative, it just kind of got this rap that it wasn't. But it, it, it's a very liberal newspaper when it comes to the news. Yeah. I mean, I, you know, what we tried to highlight again is the fact that, uh, the 10, the 10 allegedly least risky outlets, uh, that, that certainly is problematic, given the stories that they've promoted in the past, whereas when you look at the outlets labeled the riskiest outlets essentially like the Washington Examiner or the Blaze, these are
Starting point is 00:54:18 outlets that actually were right on this material first. You know, the Washington Examiner verified the contents of the Hunter Biden laptop, and so did several other outlets long before Legacy Media actually took an honest attempt to take a look at that information. You know, it's funny because I don't see, I don't see. I don't see any on the riskiest, on the riskiest domains or apps. I don't see a single liberal on here. And I see almost every single conservative.
Starting point is 00:54:51 It's quite a list. Can we go back to now where the government is funding? Because even our State Department is funding this. It's granted $330,000 to the Global Disinformation Index through two specific entities. is one, the Global Engagement Center, which is essentially a grant making arm through the State Department that actually came under fire in Twitter files reported by journalist Matt Taibi
Starting point is 00:55:23 because that same organization was contacting Twitter and asking them to engage in content moderation related to the coronavirus and vaccines in particular in 2020. So that's one entity that is funded the Global Disinformation Index. The other State Department entity is the National Endowment for Democracy, which is a nonprofit group that was authorized through Congress, that is funded almost entirely through congressional appropriations.
Starting point is 00:55:55 And I would really flag that the Board of the National Endowment for Democracy has oversight over who receives grants. And their congresswoman Elise Stefaniq, a Republican, a staunch Trump advocate, in the line of former President of Donald Trump, She sits on the board of that organization. It's quite a mess. How is this going to be cleaned up? Word from a few members of Congress who have said, you know, this raises major issues,
Starting point is 00:56:30 and they would hope to investigate this. One is Representative Michael McCall, who is the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which oversees grants to the State Department. Another is Representative Jim Banks of Indiana, who has been a staunch advocate for First Amendment, and anti-censorship operations. But certainly, you know, certainly, you know, a lot of Americans are hoping that members of Congress can take adequate steps to investigate this situation, in particular,
Starting point is 00:57:00 because this really feeds into a lot that was revealed with the Twitter files between public and private partnerships. And I think that does raise a lot of concerns with American voters. Gabe, I thank you for exposing this. and all the work you guys do at The Examiner, you're a really reputable site, and you do a lot of great work. So thank you.
Starting point is 00:57:23 Thanks for bringing this to our attention. You bet, bye-bye. All right, let me tell you about American financing. You've been putting off doing a cash-out refi of your home's mortgage. Maybe it's time to look again. Everything costs more right now. And if you're counting on people like Jerome Powell and the Fed, pull us out of this.
Starting point is 00:57:41 They got a, boy, they got a plan. Do they? You're betting on the wrong horse. Right now, the Fed is trying to stabilize the housing market, which means home values are going to go down. If you're a homeowner, maybe it's time to find light at the end of the tunnel in the form of a cash out refi at American financing. You can take some cash out of your house and pay down some of this debt that if you have credit card debt,
Starting point is 00:58:09 man, you're paying like 20, 21% interest rate. That's insane. That is almost loan shark territory. American financing is a family-owned mortgage company that's in it for you, and they're saving people just like you an average of $700 a month. Plus, you might be able to delay up to two mortgage payments and close in as little as 10 days. So I want you to call American financing now 800, 9062440, 800, 9062440, or go to Americanfinancing.com.
Starting point is 00:58:45 S-18, 28, 23, 34, www. nmls, consumer access.org. 10 seconds, station ID. This is quite amazing. The Washington Post. Now, this is going to take you as a complete surprise. The Washington Post has an article today. The conservative challenge to liberalism goes deeper than self-interest. What?
Starting point is 00:59:20 What are you crazy? The political analysis, Mike Barone, once quipped, All process arguments are insincere, including this one. He meant that political fights about the rules of the game are really not about helping, you know, one side win, that they are just about that. But now the Washington Post is reporting that's not always the case, at least not entirely. Two new high-quality studies suggest that American conservatives are more committed than liberals to two important procedural norms. Now, this is going to come as a shock.
Starting point is 01:00:01 But conservatives, they have found in two separate studies, actually believe in state rights and freedom of speech. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy. Thank goodness the Washington Post is here to shed some light on this that maybe possibly some people believe it. These findings support the theory that conservatives are more focused on the means of distributing political power, while liberalism is more focused on the ends to which that political power is used. So, wait a minute.
Starting point is 01:00:38 So a group of progressives that say, the ends justify the means, they're not as concerned with the process that gets you to the end? Wow, what a shock. Modern populism on the right, which aims to set aside traditional guardrails and achieve conservative ends by a wider range of means, can be thought of partly as responsive to this gap. Based on the analysis of survey data since 2000, it found that conservatives are more likely to prefer a devolution of power to state and local jurisdictions, even if doing so might make it harder to achieve conservative policy aims. Wow. So, let me see if I have this right. Conservatives are actually trying to conserve the principles
Starting point is 01:01:38 of our Constitution. So it's not like we're like, yeah, everybody loves the Bill of Rights, but we're actually like, we love the Bill of Rights. But we're actually like, we love the Bill of Rights. and we stand by it. Wow. Again, liberals are more likely to prioritize policy aims and to support whatever level of government seems most likely to achieve these things. That is crazy. On issues where state-led policy making can advance liberal priorities, meanwhile, liberal support for federalism surges. In 2018, 83% of liberals supported California's prerogative to set especially progressive vehicle emissions, while conservative views of federalisms also shifted depending on ideological implications.
Starting point is 01:02:31 The effect is less pronounced. 58% of conservatives also say California should be allowed. So almost 60% of conservatives say, yeah, California should be allowed. it's a state right, even though we want smaller government, we'll allow the state to decide. Wow. That's, this is changing my whole view. I didn't even. Wow.
Starting point is 01:03:03 People mean what they say occasionally. In January, another study from Stanford University in University of California, San Diego, measured the propensity of Democrats. and Republicans to remove partisan misinformation on social media. The difference was stark. Even when Republicans agree that the content is false, they are still half as likely as Democrats to say that the content should be removed and more than twice as likely to consider removal censorship.
Starting point is 01:03:40 Now, I'm just trying to get a hold of that last sentence. Some people believe that removal of content is censorship. How does that even work? Do the math. That's not what censors do. They don't remove, you know, content. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:09 Apparently, 1,100 people had false headlines geared up to support partisan priors of one party or the other. And it looks like the Republicans were consistent in values and Democrats weren't. Wow. Thank you, Washington Post. I'm sure no eyes will be opened. But there's more. Another study.
Starting point is 01:04:39 The Glenn Beck Program. All right. Once in a while, good things. it even better. Take my pillow, for example. Now, this is the product that I would have never seen myself buying, really, honestly. If I hadn't, if Mike Lindell came down and gave it to me, and he was like, you try this. Okay. And I'll see you tomorrow. Okay. So I tried it. And I didn't like it. And all morning, I'm thinking, how am I going to tell him I hated this pillow? And I walk into the office. And he said, well, I'll just sleep. And I said, well, and he said, you don't like it.
Starting point is 01:05:13 And I said, no, actually I don't. Nothing personal. And he said, you're sleeping on the wrong one. Let me get you another one. I think he got me the bigger one. And I love it. And I sleep with it every night. And I couldn't believe there was a difference between the two.
Starting point is 01:05:28 Now they have upgraded My Pillow 2.0 and you can buy one, get one for free. It has temperature regulating technology. And it's all made here in the United States.

Starting point is 01:06:12 Now, I, I, look, I think. love grinding and the football field full of humping as much as the next person, sure. But I was maybe just a little off put, just a little off put by the Beyonce. I don't know were they umpalumpas? I walk in and I thought, oh my gosh, there's been some sort of hazardous chemical spill in the stadium. And then I realized, no, because they wouldn't be showing their chest and their bellies. And I thought that was tasteful, hot, sure. when Beyonce grabbed her junk and then smelled her hand and then put her hand in the mouth,
Starting point is 01:07:15 I thought, she is classy. Or yeah, Rihanna, sorry. Beyonce, Rihanna, whatever, whatever. She's that super huge star that does that, oh, her super, super classics that she was doing last night. And I think, you know, I saw the picture of her, you know, and I thought, you know, that's, she should have combed her hair before, you know, when you get out of bed, your hair standing straight up like that and you shouldn't. But, you know, hey, to each his own. I just thought it was classy. And I want to thank, no, no, no, I'm going to tell you the truth.
Starting point is 01:07:58 my children would like to thank the NFL for them seeing her grab her crotch and smell her fingers and lick it in front of her in front of their mom and dad. They enjoyed that as much as we did, as much as we did. It's a great family event. And so thank you. Thank you so much for that. Now, let me go back to a couple of studies that I find. very interesting.
Starting point is 01:08:30 You know, I just gave you the two studies from the Washington Post that that shows that liberals are more interested in the ends and they don't really care about the means, where conservatives actually do care about freedom of speech and, you know, the Constitution and Bill of Rights and stuff, which is weird. And it explains why liberals always say, they don't really care. No, we actually do. We actually do. We care about the process a great deal, even if it goes against us.
Starting point is 01:09:08 We believe that's the American way. But very few liberals believe in that. And that's the difference. Those are the people you're seeing peel away now. You're seeing people peel away from the left that are actual classical liberals. they are people that believe in the Bill of Rights and believe in America and the process matters. Those are the people who are coming over and they're not becoming conservatives. They're just recognizing, wow, I'm not progressive like that.
Starting point is 01:09:45 I actually love my country and would like to have it get better in the way to get, you know, to be better is to, I don't know, live by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. All right. So that was the first one. Now I've got another shocking, shocking report. Apparently, a new study from the Survey Center on American Life found that Republican men and women are significantly happier in their marriage than their Democratic counterparts. according to the survey, Republican men report being most satisfied in their relationships. And men, can I just say, of course, because we got the little woman in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant. Am I right? No, actually not so much. Democratic women, you know, the ones that Democrats empower and are always trying to say, oh, you are the best. And I'm not. I'm not.
Starting point is 01:10:50 not going to call you a sweetheart you are the best you go out there and you get a job you go and do all that you can do babe because that's who you are you're just like me you want to have a thing in your pants that's great with me too there's no difference between the two of us and that might explain the man you found in my bed last night but i thought it was you sweetheart i did so 48% of those surveyed republican men 48% stated they were completely satisfied in their marriage. 42% of Republican married women say they're completely satisfied. But see, these bless their heart.
Starting point is 01:11:32 They're so cute. These are just those people that have been hypnotized by religion and politics that are just being abused. These women are in abusive relationships. Trust me, you ask any professor at any college. You ask anybody who studies women in women's... studies, and they'll tell you that's the truth right there. Now, only 36% of Democrat married men and 29% of Democrat married women say they're satisfied with their marriage. Huh, Republicans, and this is going to come as a shock to you, Republicans and Democrats view gender roles
Starting point is 01:12:09 dramatically differently. Well, of course we do, because we understand there are only two genders. So it doesn't get all murky, you know. Once you start adding the, the magic, fire-breathing, unicorn, she people, and it just gets complex. Republicans tend to embrace traditional gender roles while Democrats tend to question them. Modern liberal Democrats attribute gender roles to establish social norms they deem to be oppressive. Right? Am I right? Like moms and dads should take care of their kids.
Starting point is 01:12:55 You know, the government shouldn't be the ones making all the decisions. You know, each person has a responsibility. For instance, one brings the eggs, one brings the, and you put those two together. And it's like, you got chocolate in my peanut butter. And it turns into a baby. Isn't that weird? Anyway, they said, This leaks into the relationships for the Democrats, often causing some to purportedly flip traditional gender roles on their heads on TikTok videos titled,
Starting point is 01:13:31 Life as a Stay at Home Husband or Life of a Trophy Husband are an entire genre. Now, wouldn't you love to be called a trophy husband or a trophy wife? I think, now I hate to be consistent, you know, consistent. I hate to say something that could hurt my own side, but I think trophy wives are just as bad as trophy husbands. Masculinity in Democratic homes is more likely to be toxic and stay-at-home mom is code for slave. I'm glad we know that now.
Starting point is 01:14:17 I'm glad we know the dog whistles. That way we can point it out when a liberal says, stay at home mothers. We know now that they're really meaning slaves. Unfortunately for progressives, men and women's differing, yet complementary skills and talents are not a construct,
Starting point is 01:14:38 but rooted in human biology. What? nature and biology? Next thing you're going to tell me you know what a woman is. What? Yes, they say that's not a social construct, but rooted in human biology and fighting human nature will never make one happy. Okay, so this is the problem with all the ideas that are coming from the left right now,
Starting point is 01:15:10 based in Marxism. What does Marxism do? it fights nature. That's why they have to enforce it. That's why you have to, it only happens at the barrel of a gun. And when it's not a barrel of the gun, like it happened here in Texas in 1840, I think, 1850,
Starting point is 01:15:36 there was a big, here in Dallas, there was a big commune of people they came over, of course, from France, and they were like, we're going to try this Marxism thing. And they moved out in the middle of nowhere. And they started a socialist, an honest to God socialist community. That's what the big ball. What is the thing called the big ball here?
Starting point is 01:15:59 And yeah, reunion tower. That tower reunion is named after the town that was built right underneath that tower. It was a huge socialist experiment. and it didn't work to say the least. Well, I mean, it did until they, instead of killing the old people and the sick people, they just expelled them because society couldn't pay for it. And then when people wouldn't work to pull their fair share, which was a lot, they expelled them too.
Starting point is 01:16:36 That's what happens when it's a volunteer society. It doesn't work. So what do you do? Well, you're not going to give up your power and say, oh, well, it didn't work. You're just going to have to liquidate those people. That's why it always goes wrong. Anyway, back to the study. Conservatives comparatively greater happiness goes beyond marriage, they say.
Starting point is 01:17:03 In a 22 American family survey, they found that 37% of conservative men reported they're completely satisfied with their life. versus 21% of liberal men. How can you, I'm surprised that 37%, only 37%, that's the high number, is happy with their life. I mean, how would you answer that? And what would make you say that you're not happy with your life? Success, money? I mean, what, I mean, if you're happily married, I don't understand.
Starting point is 01:17:46 I mean, maybe it's just me. But, you know, the one thing that Tanya and I have learned is, and we've known this for many, many years, the importance of our faith. But our family has been under attack from, I believe, dark forces, you know, in the last year. And it has been, I mean, we have had everything thrown at us. and Tanya and I have gotten to a place to where, especially with the kids, it's kind of like, oh, well,
Starting point is 01:18:24 that's going to leave a mark. But, hey, it's their mark to be left. And, you know, we find ourselves, you know, kind of with the kids in slow motion. And first we're like, don't do that. Don't, you don't want to do it. Don't stop. Don't.
Starting point is 01:18:38 You really don't. And then they just kind of go into slow motion. And then we look at each other and go, wow. Wow, that's going to take. a lot of therapy, but the good news is they'll be paying for it. So we've kind of come to this place to where we're fine and we know that in the end, the family will be fine if we all just try to do the right thing. And if they don't do the right thing, well, they're going to learn one way or another and we can't control everybody. We can't, they're adults. You've got to
Starting point is 01:19:11 make your own decisions. And it leads to such habits. I mean, Tanya and I, in our darkest times, have been able to laugh. I don't think that's ever happened before because we never had times this dark. But she hasn't found me funny since about two weeks after we got married. All right, blinds.com. It's the new year.

Internet searches for canceled golf membership have jumped. Now, could be for many reasons. Could be people are finally waking up that golf is nothing but a frustrating game.
Starting point is 01:21:40 Could be that it's just more popular to use clubs now to defend your something. or it could be that even people who have golf memberships are like, ah, how do I get out of this? I'm starting to be low on money. Now, I don't know which one of the three it is because I'm not a golf expert, but private courses have seen a boom. And now it's starting to fade and people are trying to cancel. Okay.
Starting point is 01:22:19 The only other time we saw this was 14 years ago. The headlines were citizens beginning to cancel golf memberships. That is exactly what happened in 2008. So congratulations on that. But we are fine. This. This economy is, I mean, it's going like hell or going to hell. I can't remember which one he says, but Biden's on top of it, and so is the Fed.
Starting point is 01:22:58 All right, I want to talk to you about balloons and aliens. Yeah. And what we're shooting down this weekend. The Glenn Beck program. Yeah, Stu's coming back tomorrow, and so it'll be thrilling, and we'll pretend that we're excited. excited for him to get back and we missed him and blah blah blah blah blah blah all right so I'm going to come out with kind of a surprising I think the audience is going to be shocked a surprising take on the UFO balloon talk it's going to be shocking to you because the Pentagon is saying you know maybe these are maybe these are UFOs well maybe they are and maybe monkeys will fly out of my butt this hour too. So we'll
Starting point is 01:23:47 we'll see. Coming up in just a second, the national radio program begins. 15 seconds. Fusion of entertainment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if you heard this, but the Pentagon has come out and said
Starting point is 01:25:09 we're not ruling out that these balloons are aliens. I'm going to take a pretty crazy stance on that one. And I'm going to rule them out entirely. I don't think aliens arriving in balloons that we're able to shoot out of the sky. Just don't think it's happening. I know. I know. I know. What a hothead, right? Right? Well, I'll give you some facts behind all of the balloons that we seem to be shooting out of the
Starting point is 01:25:37 sky in 60 seconds. Look, you got to take care of your family, and I'm going to do an expose on what is actually happening with our energy supply. I did, I had some people over my house that we, all we talked about was energy on Saturday. Exciting. You bet. My wife is like, oh, when you talk energy, Glenn, I'm so hot. Anyway, so I had some guests over to the house and we're talking about what is actually in the Inflation Reduction Act. You're not going to believe what they're doing. You're not going to believe, well, you might. Well, no. I don't, I, I think when I tell you this, you will even say that is too far. But unfortunately, it's not. I would suggest that you have some food on hand, supply of food, so you're, you know, not left empty handed and empty stomach. Also,
Starting point is 01:26:40 that you look and least consider getting a Vesta. Now, Vesta is a product from my Patriot, And Vesta is a self-powered heater that you can use safely indoors. They've been working on this thing for years, trying to come up with the best kind of fuel, et cetera. And when you see it, you're going to go, oh, I've seen something like that. Yeah, that's where they got the idea. And then they perfected it and made it so there's no toxic fumes, no harmful smoke. There's no electricity.
Starting point is 01:27:14 And they built this little, it's a heat. heater really. It's got a fan that will heat up to like a 200 square foot room. You can boil water on it. It's really amazing. Get a Vesta today. Even just for camping. I mean, assuming you're camping out in the
Starting point is 01:27:31 cold. I mean, why would anybody... Well, I don't know why anybody camps in the first place. Anyway, mypatriotsupply.com. That's my patriot supply.com. All right. Now, prepare yourself. Prepare yourself. the unidentified flying object shot down 10 miles off the coast of Alaska
Starting point is 01:27:53 had no identifiable propulsion and it interfered with the sensors of U.S. military fighter jets. Well, some of them. Others, it didn't. Might have been like, oh, it's back on again. I don't know. But some of them it affected. Others, it had no effect. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Starting point is 01:28:20 Certainly men cannot do that. The unidentified object, the size of a small car, with a cylindrical shape, and flying at 40,000 feet off the coast of Alaska, they shot it down. Now, senior military official said the object was initially detected by radar. then we dispatch the F-35, the stealth fighter jets, because you don't know what a balloon the size of a car can do. You need the stealth. So National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, John Kirby said,
Starting point is 01:28:59 flybys of the object happened on Thursday night, Friday morning, but both encounters provided limited information about the unidentified object. But after determining, determining that it was indeed a UFO and it was unmanned, or was it? Or is this the Pentagon's way of saying, no, there were no men inside? Meaning they could have been Venetians, we don't know. They made the decision to shoot it down, and so this balloon was shot down by our brave, brave Pentagon officials. How they do it? I don't know. Now, citing a source briefed on
Starting point is 01:29:49 intelligence, some pilots said the object interfered with the sensors on their plane, but not all pilots experienced that. Some pilots also claimed to have seen no identifiable propulsion on the object and couldn't explain how it was staying in the air. Others said it was a lot of balloon. Okay, I don't know who to believe. I don't know what's going on. The conflicting eyewitness accounts are partly why the Pentagon has been unable to fully explain what this first object was. We're calling this an object because that's the best description we have right now. We don't know who owns it, whether it's state-owned or corporate-owned or privately owned. It is, it, it, is, It looked almost like, I hear, like a flying spider.
Starting point is 01:30:47 And it had like six or eight legs off to the sides of it all around. And then it had like little helicopter blades on each end of one of those legs. Now, some people are saying, that's a drone you can get like at Best Buy? No, no, I don't think so. I've never seen that before. So on Saturday, a U.S. F-22 Raptor shot down a high-altitude airborne object also in Canadian airspace. U.S. fighter jets took off from a joint base in Alaska to monitor the object as it crossed over into Canadian airspace. But when Trudeau saw that coming his way, he said, I've got, we got to get, we got to get the
Starting point is 01:31:37 the planes up in the air and seeing that they really didn't have any, they called us. And we sent our planes over Canadian airspace. But here's where it gets good. The Pentagon says, as Canadian authorities conduct recovery operations, it will help our country learn more about the object. And our FBI is going to be working closely with the Canadian mounted police. So you've got the mountain. he's involved now.
Starting point is 01:32:08 You don't just pull the Mounties out for nothing, you know? You get the Mounties out when you're like, I think it really is an alien. And they're like, okay, I'm going to call the Mounties. Don't make me call them unless you're pretty sure it's an alien. And we're like, we're really pretty sure it's an alien in a balloon. Now, they say that there were three of these things that they had to shoot down. over the weekend. And it's, you know, it's, it's, it's pretty dicey.
Starting point is 01:32:44 It's pretty dicey. CNN reported that the UFO that was shot down over Alaska may have been, and I'm quoting, an alien spacecraft. No identifiable propulsion, no flag on the back of it. And surely China would have put a flag on a balloon or somebody else, you know, or it would have said remax if it was from Earth, but it doesn't. It doesn't say that. Now, let me give you some perspective on this.
Starting point is 01:33:23 I don't believe at all for a second that it's a UFO, okay? The small balloons carrying a payload. What does that mean? Last week we had a balloon with a payload that was completely innocent. No, he's completely. I mean, it's not going to budd it. I mean, how are we going to possibly shoot it down? I mean, what are we going to do?
Starting point is 01:33:47 We're going to think that we can blow that balloon to smithereens with a missile? No, we can't do that. Not over Montana or Wyoming or South Dakota or North Dakota. My gosh, the population center, the sheep that might have something in their wool down on the ground at the end. You know? And we, who knows? That balloon could come down. Now we shot it over the water.
Starting point is 01:34:12 How many dolphins are going to die from eating that balloon? How many? It's so dangerous. But the Chinese balloon was not dangerous. Didn't have, quote, a payload. Had something underneath it. We didn't know what it was. But these have a payload.
Starting point is 01:34:32 Here's what's happening. We're not sure what, who has what? anymore. We don't know. We don't know what China is doing. We know that they're hostile. We know that they are probing us. We know that Russia is doing the same. We don't know exactly what they have, what they don't have, because these, quote, UFOs have been following us. And these, no, seriously, I'm not paranoid. No, the UFOs are, I'm telling you the aliens are following us. No, actually, they are. And the Pentagon has confirmed this. It was confirmed during COVID. So, I don't know, maybe, maybe they were high on vaccines. I don't know, sniffing the vaccines at the Pentagon.
Starting point is 01:35:22 They're like, let's say that the aliens are there. But apparently the alien ships, they're saying they're not of this world, but they don't look like balloons. Okay. I'm just saying. and they do think that there's a possibility that somebody, you know, China or somebody has something like this, but they don't think it's likely, but they don't know. So now anything that comes over with, you know, Dr. C. Nile in office, who's like, you know, have you seen the video of him giving the, can we play that again? the video of him giving an interview about this, like one eye is swollen shut, he's like, you know, got crusties on the other eye from being woken up. He looks absolutely senile, but at least he sounds presidential.
Starting point is 01:36:20 Listen. Wasn't it a major security bridge for the United States? Just the fact that the balloon came into the airspace and flew over the country for so many days. No, look, the total amount of... intelligence gathering is going on by every country around the world is overwhelming. And the idea that a balloon could traverse the country American airspace. Traverse it? Anyway, it's not a major breach.
Starting point is 01:36:52 Okay, not a major breach. And the idea that it could traverse our airspace, which I don't think really works, but I'm not the president, traverse our airspace. You mean go from one side of the country to the other? in our airspace the entire time. If that's what you mean, I see why you stop saying anything because you were like, I mean, that's...
Starting point is 01:37:14 Well, okay, it just happened. So, you know, you know what I mean. Uh-huh, I do know what you mean. Here's what I'm concerned about. The tit for tat that is going on with the Chinese right now, they're already saying that we're guilty of sending balloons over their country. Can we stop?
Starting point is 01:37:35 It was an old-timey kind of idea when it was used by the wizard in the Wizard of Oz movie. Okay. Old-timey. We're not using balloons. Can we stop with the balloons? Now, what happens if we start shooting down everything that we can't immediately explain? What happens if China follows that lead? You know, the Soviets forced a passenger jet to land in 1978.
Starting point is 01:38:03 Two people died in the emergency. landing. Then in 83, the Soviet shot down KAL-O-7. I'll never forget it. I was in Washington. I thought we were going to be vaporized. We got so close to being vaporized. U.S. congressman was killed 268 other passengers, and they said it was obvious this was a passenger plane. The Soviet military still says that it was the CIA. I don't know who to believe anymore. I'm just glad we're not all dead or have two heads and only four fingers. I don't know if you know this. Radiation's not healthy. Right now China is looking into ways to respond.
Starting point is 01:38:50 There are no doubt elevating their air defenses and looking into a measured tit for tat. And the stakes just keep going up higher and higher and higher, especially when we have their planes coming into our air. and our planes going into their airspace. We should have taken out the first balloon. But now, I don't know. Are we just firing on birthday party balloons and then calling it like it could be a danger? Because we're trying to act tough.
Starting point is 01:39:21 And if we're operating like that, why would we expect the rest of the world to operate differently? This is stupid and dangerous. And I'm pretty sure. I can't, I won't rule anything out anymore. But I'm pretty sure. It's not an alien spacecraft. All right. Let me tell you about Micah.
Starting point is 01:39:43 He's a neighbor right down your street, you know, the friendly, helpful guy. You keep meaning to get to know better. Micah is an Army veteran, solid family guy, three beautiful kids. And speaking of kids, while back, Micah found other schools were teaching, you know, graphic sex curriculum. You know, you know. He wasn't the kind of guy to sit back. And he and several like-minded friends ran for school board positions, and they won enough spots to overturn the curriculum.
Starting point is 01:40:17 Oh, other tiny detail about Micah. He's a real guy. He's a real estate agent. And he works with real estate agents, I trust.com. I mean, if the guy can stand up to the woke mob infecting our schools, I mean, and fight until he wins, imagine what he's capable of doing, you know, in his own real profession and helping you sell a home or buy a home.
Starting point is 01:40:39 My company works with people like Micah all over the country that are just like you, except they're a professional at buying and selling houses. Real estate agents, I trust.com. The name says it all. Real estate agents I trust.com. Go there now. Free service to you. Real estate agents I trust.
Starting point is 01:41:01 com. 10 seconds. Station ID. Wow. Now, I don't know if we're shooting these out of the sky, but the Department of Homeland Security is reducing its fleet of surveillance blimps because we are a nation that is on the edge financially, and we don't have the money to run those blimps anymore.
Starting point is 01:41:32 And so we're going to get rid of them. Now, good news is these are the blimps that are on our southern border. These are the ones that have counted 770,000 encounters and the getaways. So these are the blimps that are actually capturing everything on footage so we have some idea what's going on. But again, like I said, hey, we have to make tough choices, you know. And we've got to, you know, we've got to make sure that New Zealand has some. some money from us so they can shut down their power plants. But we don't have money for the border and the blimps.
Starting point is 01:42:15 What? I mean, we don't know. They could be spies. Could be spy satellites. We don't know. We don't know. Could be birthday balloons. Could be pin the tail on the donkey.
Starting point is 01:42:23 Could be a deadly weapon from China. We don't know. What else? Oh, by the way, China is a friend. They are not an enemy of ours. Border Patrol apprehensions of China. Chinese nationals at our southern border up 800%. So, you know, and that's quite the walk from China, you know.
Starting point is 01:42:51 I've heard about the border tunnels. Because I started one when I was a kid, I was going to tunnel all the way to China. Do you think they've done that? And it comes out right at our border? Wow. Well, those are just ambitious kids. That's all that is. Don't worry about those kids coming up through that tunnel all the way from China because they deserve it.
Starting point is 01:43:17 You know, if you've done that, you come on in. We need entrepreneurs like you. So we got that going for us. All right. There's one other thing. The Chinese are coming out now and they're reporting how much gold they are buying. And one would have to ask themselves, gee, why would one do that? You didn't want to report it before.
Starting point is 01:43:46 Now you're buying up all this gold and you're reporting that you have that in your treasury. It's almost as if you're like going to start a new international currency and you want everybody to know that it's backed up with gold. but I'm sure that's not it. You know, they're busy with water balloons. Next, they're going to come over here and they're going to hit us with water balloons. Anyway, we have the details on that and so much more from Carol Roth, who is watching this. And we saw this last week. And I'm like, Carol, she's like, I know, I'm on it.
Starting point is 01:44:30 I got it. I got it. So Bank of China has just bought another 15 tons of gold. And this is the third straight month of buying. And the first time they've released, yeah. Yeah, that's us at the Treasury. We're doing that. Before it was like, oh, no, we like golden elephants and stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:44:56 And we like, we're like India. We like to make a lot of jewelry. Uh-huh. with 15 tons of gold? Oh, lots of people over here. Mm-hmm. Okay, okay. So are they preparing an invasion of Taiwan?
Starting point is 01:45:15 Are they just getting ready to join up with Russia? I've got something that China and Russia are doing that will boggle your mind coming in the next couple of weeks. Just got to get it all buttoned up, so I have it all for you. but Carol's going to be here next and give us her point of view on what's really going on and what's coming in our own economy. Next.
Starting point is 01:45:43 The Glenn Beck Program. So John wrote in recently about his experience with Relief Factory. He said, I've used Relief Factor for about six months now and I was really skeptical at first. I put off trying until my brother loaned me a few days worth. Oh my gosh. I hope the FBI and the drug police are all over these people. Yeah, we got border problems, but these guys were sharing a non-prescription all-natural relief thing.
Starting point is 01:46:14 Forget fentanyl. Relief factor, he said, I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't know if it would help. It does. I don't know if it helps everybody, but it helps me. John, thank you for sharing that story. And we are sending your email right directly to Department of Homeland Security. Three-week quick start. It's 1995.

Starting point is 01:47:17 It is Monday. I am feeling very, very good. Kansas City won. And while I'm not a huge sports fan, I am a fan of just making stew miserable. And of course, you know, he lives and dies for the evening. Eagles and he was at the Super Bowl with his son and I hope his son had to hold him while Stu cried himself to sleep.
Starting point is 01:47:46 But he'll be back tomorrow and there won't be a word said about the super. I don't want to make things worse for him. So it's not like I have any plans or anything for his triumphant return. Get some sleep, Stu, because you're going to need it. Carol Roth is with us and Carol Roth is She's my favorite advisor on anything the economy Because she's a former investment banker So she understands it at the highest level
Starting point is 01:48:21 And then she realized, wow, I think all of these people Might be in league with Satan. My words, not hers. But she got out of that And now she's trying to help the average person. She wrote the war on small business and she has a new book coming out. We'll talk about it in a second. Carol, welcome. Thank you, Glenn. I'm very feisty for a Monday morning. And as somebody who went to school in Philadelphia, they do have a really repugnant fan base. So it is somewhat hard to
Starting point is 01:48:52 root for them. Yeah, it is. I mean, they were, the game hadn't even started and they were tipping cars over. I mean, you know, they just, and there's it, to have a fan base, that wants to burn your city to the ground, there's no city better than Philadelphia to burn down to the ground. So I'm just saying, you might want to have a fire hydrant near some of the historic places,
Starting point is 01:49:18 but the rest of it pretty much can go. Anyway, Carol, we were talking last week about what's happening with China. And I know you have been watching the gold reserves from the central banks because it's kind of a tip-off. You know, my grandfather used to say, if we only knew what the rich were doing before the depression, we could have done that ourselves. And so we're watching all those things. And the rich of the rich, the central banks, seem to be buying a lot of gold, except for us.
Starting point is 01:49:56 Well, to be fair, we, and again, this is all supposed. This is based on what's reported. Who knows what's actually true, whether it's us or China. know, but central banks around the world have bought a record amount of gold in 2022. Why? Hang on just a second, Carol. I'm just, is there a god? As soon as she starts to give me the information, the connection goes.
Starting point is 01:50:24 Should we reconnect? Do you want to reconnect real quick? Can we do that? Let's reconnect, Carol. Your feet is really bad all of a sudden. So reconnect so we can actually understand what she's saying. But don't worry, it's probably nothing important. It's just like collapse of the dollar stuff.
Starting point is 01:50:42 So that can wait. Oh, golly. Okay, you get her reconnected. Let me see. Let me, while we're waiting, would you just play cut three? This is one of our generals at the Pentagon this weekend. night sure I thought was great. Have you ruled out aliens or extraterrestrials?
Starting point is 01:51:10 And if so, why? Because that is what everyone is asking us right now. Thanks for the question, Elaine. I'll let the intel community and the counterintelligence community figured that out. I haven't ruled out anything at this point. We continue to assess every threat or potential threat unknown that approaches North America with an attempt to identify it. Uh-huh. Okay, so that's a serious general.
Starting point is 01:51:36 Being asked by a serious, I guess, journalist, because that's what everybody's asking her? No, everybody's asking. Is it aliens? Come on. All right. Carol, you're back? I am back. I think it was the Chinese spy balloon that said. It was. I think it was. We're talking about China buying gold, and they obviously didn't want you to have this information. Well, now we're safe. We're on a landline.
Starting point is 01:52:01 So we have some of those old-timey things here. So Carol, tell me what's happening with China buying up the gold. Yeah, the central banks around the world record year last year, 2012, 1, 136 tons of gold. The interesting data point was China. For the first time since 2019, they announced that they had increased their purchases, their net holdings of gold in November.
Starting point is 01:52:30 and now there has been three consecutive months of them buying gold. And I really believe that this is meant as a signal that could be one of a couple of signals, but they all boil down to signals that relate to a new financial world order. Hmm. Hmm. Would you do me a favor? Yes. I don't mean to put you on a spot, but could you explain how this is so out of your wheelhouse?
Starting point is 01:53:00 and it's going to come out of left field. Can you explain how electricity is made? I'm the daughter of an electrician, and you're going to put me on the spot in terms of how electricity is made. But obviously, we do know that it's powered by all different sorts of, you know, different sorts of fuels, including particularly in the United States and other places around the world fossil fuels. But what do the fossil, you burn the fossil fuels to move a turbine, right?
Starting point is 01:53:30 And the turbine is moving and it's moving, you know, around copper wires. And the copper wires, that is actually inside a magnet. So without magnets, you cannot make electricity. Right? Correct. All right. Would you do me a favor? Yes.
Starting point is 01:53:53 I believe there's two particles or whatever. minerals or whatever that make magnets. There's two different materials that make a magnet. I believe that like 100% of one of those comes from Russia and 100% of the other one comes from China. And I have read, but I want you to look into this. I just read this weekend that both of those countries just signed an agreement
Starting point is 01:54:33 that they are working together now on the magnets and that this is going to be another source of like gold for them that they will trade based on those materials as well I don't know about magnets as a hard asset yet no no I know no I know no I know
Starting point is 01:54:59 But the only reason why I would bring this up is because when you look at what was being done to our electricity all over and you look how we are just, we're being torched all over the country and all over the world, things to make electricity are going to become much more valuable. And I don't even care if it's backing up their money. I want to know if it's true that they are the main source for all magnets and if they just did an agreement between each other that they're working together on magnets. What I can tell you is that there are a whole slew of commodities that need to be dug up from the earth that these green energy folks are relying on for electricity and for these other components that they have that you are not. only, you know, heavily available in China and Russia, but also all of the countries where China has been investing through its Belt and Road initiatives. So it would not be surprising that, you know, this would be one of many of them. But do we want to go back to the gold piece? Yes. Yes. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. No, this is important stuff, and I think that it's all related.
Starting point is 01:56:18 basically, you know, we really have to blame the government and the Federal Reserve. We have had the privilege of King Dollar being the World Reserve currency. And, you know, not to say that it doesn't have downsides. One of the downsides is that you have to manage the dollar for competing interests, the benefit of the people in the U.S., as well as global stability. Our Fed and government have managed to do neither. We have eroded purchasing power here in the U.S. And we have not had global stability.
Starting point is 01:56:51 So looking at China announcing, okay, we're signaling that we are increasing our reserves could very well be a signal to say we're trying to enhance the death, the natural death of King Dollar that the U.S. is putting forth. And they have been talking to all different kinds of countries about settling in their current, the yuan, which given the fact that they're a communist country, people aren't really excited about, but if they can then say, well, we can swap that for gold, we're increasing our gold, that might give more stability to their currency. On the other hand, it could be a signal saying, we're getting ready to invade Taiwan,
Starting point is 01:57:36 because if you look at what happened with Russia before they invaded Ukraine, they were shedding U.S. Treasury securities, and they were stocking up on gold, which is exactly what China is doing right now. And, you know, so that could be a signal, but that relates back to a New World Order as well from a financial standpoint, because we have never had a changing of a financial guard without a war preceding it. So, you know, those two things are somewhat interconnected with, you know, the dollar and, you know, kind of the U.S. global financial standing right in the middle of it. Are you following this balloon nonsense at all? I love balloons, so of course I'm following a balloon nonsense.
Starting point is 01:58:22 So are you in Chicago now? So I'm actually not in an undisclosed location where the spy balloon right. I understand that. So they shot one over the Great Lakes. They brought down three of these things. And, you know, the Pentagon is like, well, like we're not ruling out that that might be an alien ship from outer space.
Starting point is 01:58:46 And you're like, what? I mean, this is so ridiculous. What? And I'm just trying to think, what would the advantage be for China if it indeed was a Chinese balloon to keep sending these things? That wouldn't make sense, would it? Do you? I mean, listen, I'm a financial person.
Starting point is 01:59:07 I'm not a foreign policy person. So, you know, my. The interpretation of this may make no sense, but it does seem, you know, a test. You know, how strong is the U.S. going to react when we push them, when we look at this administration, how far can we push the envelope without them pushing back? So that is the idea. And I mean, all of a sudden, we're tough guys on balloons. I mean, don't blow one up for your kid's birthday party because it might come under attack.
Starting point is 01:59:38 but the you know every and they're made in China and so they might not be great right and you know everything that is being done now is to fight a war at least a financial war and I just I don't see this going you know we had not great relationships with China under Donald Trump but they were better than this and this is just not going well and I'd rather not be on the receiving end of balloons for my party from Russia and China at the same time. Yeah, no, it's not a good scenario and whether that war plays out, you know, purely on a financial basis where you get these different blocks that decide to do trade in a different way. You know, Saudi Arabia started signaling that they are open to settling oil and currencies
Starting point is 02:00:37 other than the dollar. We weaponize the dollar, obviously, against Russia during the Ukraine. So it could be financial. You know, God forbid, it could end up having some more, you know, physical, actual war components. But all of these things, you know, speak to the deteriorating strength of the U.S., you know, in general and as a financial powerhouse. And I think that's the concern for your listeners in terms of protecting their assets, because the U.S. dollar is not what it used to be.

Starting point is 02:03:03 All right, the New York Times, definitely not an engine of disinformation, has now changed their story on the balloons. Earlier, it read, they still haven't been able to tell us what these things are, you know, shooting out of the sky, that we're shooting out of the sky. Have you ruled out aliens or extraterrestrials?
Starting point is 02:03:32 The general said, I'll let the intel community, and counterintelligence community, figure that out. I haven't ruled out anything at this point. We assess every threat and potential threat, blah, blah, blah. Now it reads, I haven't ruled out anything. However, no one, not one senior official said,
Starting point is 02:03:56 think that these things are anything other than devices fashioned here on Earth. So now the New York Times is being told or whatever, whatever, that you have to correct this, take the alien thing out. Why was it there in the first place? The Glenn Beck Program.
