Forever. I just love my job. Get tickets now. The Devil Wears Prada 2 in theaters May 1st, directed by David Frankel. Well, on today's podcast, Stu is very upset with this program because it took 40 minutes to get to, you know, dunking on Andrew Cuomo's choke job in the New York City mayoral race. And we have to point out, what a pathetic loser that guy is, huh? But also a warning on the new guy. Now, something new is also coming in 2026, new for me, hopefully new for you, a new way to view and learn history and the news.

and I'll have much more information on that as we get closer to launch, but some vital information on today's podcast. Also, a guest who ended up taking half the show. I had her schedule for about 10 minutes. Her name is Yasmin Mohammed, and she has the most compelling story of childhood. And because of that, she has a great warning to the Western world that you need to hear. And that leads us right into tonight's TV special tonight on Blaze TV,

and tomorrow available Thursday on YouTube.com slash Glenn, my Wednesday night special on what is coming to the Western world. Hmm. Actually, it's already here. All in today's podcast. First, let me tell you this. The story of America is written in the hands of the people who grow things, who raise, harvest, and work the land. You want to know what kind of country you'll really live in? Look how it treats its farmers. right now American ranchers are being pushed to the edges. Farmers are being pushed to the edges. By the time I end this program, another farm or another ranch is going to be lost here in American. And it's strangulation by regulation. It is strangulation, quite honestly, by the meat packing industry and everybody else. The way to push back starts at your table. Good ranchers sells 100% American meat. It's all sourced from local farms and ranches right here at home. And every box supports American. agriculture. Every order helps American families who refuse

to sell out or sell off. Let me tell you, let me tell you, when you try good ranchers, you're not only going to do the right thing, you're going to also taste the difference. It's more than just eating well, but eating well

is a big part of it. Invest in America. The America you want to live in. Right now, when you subscribe to any good ranchers box, you're going to get free meat for life.

Indian nationals have just been arrested by ICE, but don't worry about it. Mehran Salihi, former member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,

but that's nothing. With admitted connections to Hezbollah was arrested in, what a surprise, Minnesota. Now, he was previously arrested on being a felon in possession of a, a firearm and he was supposed to be removed in 2022, but yeah, well, you're going to get around that one. And then ICE in Atlanta just arrested another guy reportedly carrying around his Islamic Republic of Iran Army identification card, but don't worry, he was low member. He was just a sniper in the, oh boy.

Yeah. So he was, he got here. He entered the U.S. on the marriage visa, and then he didn't adjust his immigration status and so he's got to go. The sniper, we're going to take the sniper out? What? And then another guy who was reportedly arrested carrying a loaded firearm

when ICE captured him in Houston. He entered the country on a student visa and was arrested the following year for assaulting his wife for, you're ready? You know what the charge was? Impeding her breathing. Really?

That's all he was doing was impeding her breathing. Huh. Apparently he had threatened her and her family in Iran, and he was supposed to be removed from the country in 2019. But, I mean, we couldn't get around to that one. So 11 of these guys, don't worry. There's only 8,000 more. So we got that going for us. Now, I want to also tell you, yesterday I was talking to Steve Bannon on the program,

and he was saying the war between Israel and Iran could be part of the first kinetic moves toward World War III. I happen to agree with him on this. But, I mean, is Iran the threat to America here or is it something else? Tonight I'm going to explore this on my Wednesday night special. You don't want to miss it because it's weird. This threat is spreading all across Europe. And the new relationships that are now being exposed between communist, radical leftists and Islamists, I want to play this.

This is from a Muslim Imam. in, I think, Michigan. Ready? Remember what the leader told us. Free Palestine, free the world. What did he say? The key, that mysterious key to the Farage. That's in Palestine.

So, free Palestine, free the world. We need to expose Western civilization. The world needs to know. This system is no longer a solution. These institutions are morally bankrupt. There is no other way, but God or technically oriented, God-based resistance and rejection of this system.

Okay, so overthrowing the system of Western civilization, not a big deal. When he said, you know, what the leader told us, he was talking about the supreme leader of Iran. This is being preached in the mosque, I believe in Michigan. So don't worry about it. You know, what's weird is now that you're seeing how the radical Islamists,

the radical communist and socialist and anarchist all seem to be, where have I heard that before? Radicals, Islamists, communists and socialist will work together against Israel, against capitalism, and work together to overturn stability. There are radicals, globalists, Islamists, all working together. Radicals, Islamists, communists, and socialists will work together against Israel, work against capitalism, work together to overturn stability. Let it be my tombstone.

I was hammered for it. Radicals, Islamists, communist, socialists all working together against Israel. This has nothing to do with Israel. This has everything to do with freedom. Yeah, the rest of that statement was overturned stability to end the, to end. Western civilization. Okay. All right.

Well, that's not happening. What did that? What did that a mom just say in Michigan? I try and remember. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we got to put Western civilization on alert. It no longer works. Okay, good, good, good.

So it's a good day in America. We've got a new candidate for mayor of New York, free buses, grocery stores run by the city, a $30 minimum wage, higher taxes on the wealthy and businesses, of course. You don't need business in New York. That, I mean, that's going to be good. It's, I mean, it's a new day.

All right. All right. I've had enough. I've frankly had enough of this and you today. I can't. What does this show even stand for anymore? What is this? What are we doing here?

do we come to do this show every day? Why does this exist? I don't know. I thought to point out the truth and say the things that most people won't say, you know. I think that's what we're supposed to do. Why? What is it? We are 40, 40 minutes into the show.

And we have not bashed Andrew Cuomo one time. What the hell are we doing here? Why did I come in today? You know, I, you know what? When you say it that way, I understand what you're saying. I get it. I get it. I, I.

Wow, how could I be so misguided? This? And I appreciate you admitting it, but I honestly am questioning how you didn't feel it in your soul when you woke up today. Wow. You know. I want you to think of how pathetic this is. Andrew Cuomo. Me or Andrew Cuomo's loss.

I'm going to go with both, honestly, at this point. Right. Andrew Cuomo is one of the most famous people in the state of New York from one of the most famous families in the entire state of New York. He was nationally famous not that long ago. He went from a governor job to try to pick off a mayoral job. And this man lost to a 30. three-year-old Zilch that nobody

had any awareness of two weeks ago he was a rapper at one point he was a rapper he's actually better known for his rapping than he is his legislative record he's accomplished precisely

nothing in his entire life no one knew who he was at all it's starting to sound like you're you're me on, you know, talking about the new candidate. Oh, I just want to set the stage here because sure he's bad, but like, that doesn't tell you anything about what kind of giant failure this was for Andrew Cuomo. A person who was gifted this race, no one stepped in against him.

It's like one of those races where he was running unopposed. There's basically no one who had a chance to win in this primary. Look, just because he blew a 70-point lead. A 70-point lead and 35 million dollars of spending in excess of his opponent. Right. He got every endorsement, he got every piece of party apparatus outside of the hardcore pro-Hamas wing of the party to back him. He got all of the establishment, the youths. unions. He got everybody on his side. And for some reason, the people of New York City decided,

you know, maybe we shouldn't select the person who murdered our grandparents this time. Maybe, maybe we all make jokes about how our relatives drive us crazy at Thanksgiving, but maybe we shouldn't vote for the person who killed them. That was the decision apparently made. Hey! Hey! What are you talking about? Thank you. Killing people.

What are you? What, I saw a part of the family. What do you mean killing somebody? Of course, I am thinking about killing myself today, but they... Now, I will say, the people of New York might be surprised once this socialist becomes mayor of their city that he may also kill a lot of them. That's usually what happens when socialists take over places. But I get, and like the people of New York had built themselves up to say, you know, socialism's pretty crazy.

He's way out there. He wants, this is a man who's literally proposing city-owned grocery stores, as you noted. And they may have convinced themselves that, you know what, hey, the constant corruption, the murdering our grandparents, the Gropath. that's going to happen apparently in Manhattan is okay. We're going to take Andrew Cuomo anyway. You can't hang on just a second. Let's just not throw out city-owned grocery stores. Hegelty-piggledy just on your word.

He never said that. You don't think so, huh? Hmm. Where is it? Grocery prices are out of control. The cost of eggs and milk has skyrocketed. Some stores are even using dynamic pricing, jacking up the cost over the course of a day

depending on what they can get away with. It doesn't need to be this way. I'm Zahran Mandani, and as mayor, I will create a network of city-owned grocery stores. It's like a public option for produce. We will redirect city funds from corporate supermarkets to city-owned grocery stores, whose mission is lower prices, not price gouging. These stores will operate without a profit motive, or having to pay property taxes or rent, and we'll pass on those savings to you.

This proposal is so insane. By the way, it's likely happening some version of it in your town. If you happen to have a city rec center, a beautiful rec center they've built, and there's just a gym and all these things. And then there's other businesses trying to compete with that by renting their own properties and building gyms. They already know this, by the way. This is happening all over the country. It just doesn't have it happening in grocery stores. This seems wildly specific that example.

It's one of my personal jihads. Now, when I say jihad, I don't mean actually people exploding, which I know is different than some others in the news today. But what I will say is like, I've always noticed that it's like such a, what he's describing there sounds completely insane until you realize that local governments do it all the time. They do this stuff all the time. Oh, so the new work.

Yeah. Hey, we'll give you a lower membership to the gym because we can build something with taxpayer dollars and we won't charge them taxes or make them pay rent and so we'll undercut all of the competition. It's just a fascinating dynamic. I guess you. Wait a minute then. I mean, I know a lot of your neighbors, because again, this is a very specific jihad you're

on. But a lot of your neighbors would love that. They love that. They love the fact. Because you know why? Because it works, Stu. It works. So what is your problem?

What is your problem with these grocery stores? I don't understand it. New York, grocery stores. What could possibly go wrong? You know what? If you are looking for some government cheese and you don't think the government cheese thing was a joke that expired 30 years ago

and you want it to come back as a real part of your life that go with this guy. By the way, you shouldn't go with the guy who's murdering your grandparents either. That's a bad option as well. and, you know, at the very least, we should at least understand what we're getting into here. Sure, you've got a socialist who's out there, but why aren't we instead, instead of worrying about the oncoming socialism and how, you know, the financial center of the world may soon very well be run by a guy who's basically a communist, sure, that should worry you. But shouldn't you instead be basking in the glory of Andrew Cuomo's failure?

isn't today really the day to sit back and enjoy this pathetic failure of a man who is so horrifically terrible, not only for the people of New York, but really the entire country, a man who imported COVID positive patients into nursing homes. A man. I believe that what we're seeing here is somebody who has, is really working hard to globalize the intifada against Andrew Cuomo. It's just a struggle, Glenn. It's just a struggle. They talk about it at the Holocaust Museum. I'm wondering if the dead Saddam Hussein could have won in New York City yesterday.

Let me tell you about the Burnet Launcher. I believe in being prepared. You do too. Not paranoid. Not aggressive, but capable. I believe in options and tools that give you a choice. before a situation spirals out of control. And I believe if it is possible to avoid taking a life,

we probably should. That's why I carry Burnah. The Burna launcher is a non-lethal self-defense tool that fires high-speed pepper and impact rounds, also tear gas rounds, designed to disorient and incapacitate and end a threat without ending a life. It's not a toy.

It's not a gun either. It's something different. Built for people who refuse to be caught off guard. You don't need a permit. It's legal in all 50 states. And it is simple to learn, easy to carry, and ready when you need it. Whether or not you ever have to use it or not, it is great to have. In a world that feels less predictable every day, Berna isn't just a device, it's a strategy, a way to walk through life. Burna, B-Y-R-N-A-D-com, use their retail store locator to find the nearest location offering live demonstrations, including select

sportsman's warehouse stores, Burna.com. Now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening. Welcome to the program. We're glad you're here. There's a human rights activist from Canada

that I really, really want you to meet. Her name is Yasmin Mohammed. She is the author of Unveiled, and I want to talk to her about the real battle that the West is facing. Now that we're in it, I think we are in, I think we're in for a real, well, no, no, only those who have closed their eyes are going to be surprised by this. We're not in for a shock. We're in for a great awakening, honestly, because if you haven't seen what's happening in Europe, if you haven't seen what's coming on our own streets, if you're not reading the tea leaves and seeing how this is going, hello, New York City, you're a fool. You're a fool. You're blind or you're just, I don't know, incompetent. But Yasmin is here.

She has written a book that is unbelievable. It's called Unveiled How Western Liberals Empower Radical Islam. Yes, are you on with me tonight, or is it just this radio hit here? Hello, Yasmin. I think it's just the radio hit, but I mean, I'd love to be on with you tonight, if possible. Well, may I suggest something different? Are you, can you, do you have an open, do you have about an hour that you can spend with me right now? I'd like to extend this.

Sure, let's do it. Absolutely. So, because it's important, I want to talk to you about, I want to talk to you about what's happening with Iran and everything else, but I really think that we should start with your childhood. I mean, it is, it's remarkable the life that you lived and have lived through and with no help from Canada, you know, had to endure as a childhood. Can you start?

You were born in Vancouver to an Egyptian mom and a Palestinian father. And then your parents got a divorce at six. You stayed with mom. And then mom married an Egyptian who she was one of two wives, right? Did he have more than two wives? Well, he could have up to four, but he only filled up two slots. Yep. My mom was a second.

Okay. So tell me about your childhood. What was your childhood like? So first of all, Glenn, thank you so much for having me on and thank you so much for reading my book and for helping to bring light to this darkness. My childhood was unfortunately something that is quite common around all over North America, Europe, obviously the Middle East, but we don't hear the stories because people are afraid to speak. So as you mentioned, my parents were that, you know, they grew up secular Muslims, my mom in Egypt, my dad in Gaza, and they moved to San Francisco, got married, you know, had my sister and then eventually moved to Canada where their marriage fell apart. And like you mentioned, my mom married an Egyptian man who at this point was what people are calling an Islamist or a political Muslim. Basically, he was just religious.

Can we stop on this for a second? Because this is something I'm going to talk about tonight, and it is so important to understand the difference between a Muslim and an Islamist. Islamists are wickedly dangerous because it is political in Islam and does not necessarily have anything to do with regular Muslims, correct? That's right. So a regular Muslim could be somebody who was open to democracy and freedom, somebody like Dr. Zudy Jasser, who I co-founded the Clarity Coalition with.

Yeah, he's an amazing man. He's an example. But then, of course, there's Islamists which could go, you know, anywhere from a political Islamist like Mamdami in New York all the way to jihadis like ISIS and Hamas, et cetera. So those are people who are wanting to... You would put this new mayor of New York or the new mayoral candidate that won his primary last night in the category of an Islamist?

I absolutely would. Yes, I absolutely would. Why? He is somebody who is extremely dangerous. He's built his entire platform on Islamist talking points. I mean, let's just start with the fact that Care put $100,000 behind him. Care is a group whose leader said that they were happy about October 7th. So it's very clear that these people follow the same.

ideology and the same goal as groups like Hamas. They're doing it in different ways. Hamas are more like their jihadis because they're using violence. But an Islamist won't necessarily use violence, but they will use duplicitous, insidious what Mabdani is doing, which is using secular laws against itself, which is, you know, these thin, you know, calls to to, to globalize in taffada. That is a thinly veiled and incitement to violence. You know, I've spoken to people who have survived the Intifada in Israel. And what we're talking about here are people riding on a bus and the bus is blowing up. People sitting having a pizza and then the pizza parlor gets blown up. This is what they're asking

for. This is what they're saying they want to globalize. So I don't even know how thinly veil that is. But when somebody is your mayoral candidate and is calling to globalize the Intifada and then for that person to win is really disheartening, it really makes me feel. so sad and angry and terrified about the future of our world. Okay, so let's get back to your childhood. So you are, you know, with this new father riding a bike, listening to music, celebrating birthday, swimming lessons, playing with non-Muslim friends, not happening. Yeah, absolutely.

Everything became harm. Everything became forbidden. So all of those things you mentioned. And then, of course, hijab was put on me, which is the head covering. I had to cover everything except for my face and hands up until I was 19, where even my face and hands got covered in black as well. So, yeah, it was a complete shock.

I hated every minute of it. But, of course, I was terrified. There was nothing I could do. I was scared. And at one point, there was just a brief moment of time where I was able to go to a public school because the Islamic school did not yet have a high school in place. And in that year, I was able to connect with one of my teachers, Mr. Fabro, who wrote the foreword for my book.

Okay. Wait, before you get there, tell people, when you failed at home, tell people what happened to you with your feet and your ankles and everything else. So they have an understanding what you were going through when you met this teacher. Yeah, so you talked about not being allowed to have non-Muslim friends. That was, you know, I cannot overstate how important that was for us to understand the difference between us and them. Muslims and non-Muslims, good and bad, good and evil, actually. And so in one of my books, I had written my name as Jasmine instead of Yasmin. I just changed one letter.

And when my mom and her husband saw that, they interpreted, oh, this. girl wants to be Western. She wants to be Canadian. She doesn't want to be Muslim. She's preferring their way of writing the name, her name instead of our way of writing it. So we need to teach her a very strong lesson so that she learned and understand that they are evil and we are good. And so their way of doing that was to hang me upside down in the garage. And, you know, Muslims have the celebration of Aide where they slaughter an animal every year and they hang it up in the garage. And that was the hook that they used to hang me up on and whipped me. And they whip places where it will be hidden.

When I was younger, it was the bottom of my seat. But later when I started wearing hijab and my body was covered anyway, then they could whip more, you know, more comfortably wherever they wanted. And her husband hung me upside down and whipped me to the point of me passing out because I was crying so much and I couldn't breathe my whole, you know, my face, my nose, my throat, my eyes, everything was still just me okay. and I woke up from my being from passing out and I could hear them talking and my mom was was upset she was freaking out she's like what are we going to do if you killed her we're going to have to explain this like like she was she was concerned that they would be in trouble with the authorities if they had killed me you know what I mean like it wasn't even they were concerned concerned about the fact that they had killed me. What was that like to hear that from your mother?

I mean, I can't forget it. I can't forget a lot of the things that she's said and done. It's really important for me to highlight here that she wasn't like this. She was, nobody in her family was like this. Nobody in Cairo where she grew up was like this. But once she became indoctrinated into this ideology, and once she'd be married this Islamist man, she turned into this monster who her, she was so, such a zealot. And her ideology and her, you know, anti-West pro-Islam, you know, it just possessed her mind. And that's all that mattered to her.

And even her own kids were nowhere near. Like we didn't even register in her, you know, in the things that she cared about. All she wanted was to, for Islam to win and for the West to be dismantled. And if it meant that she had to, you know, beat her daughter up to get her daughter to understand that that's what needed to be done, then she was fine to do that. And in fact, she was fine to kill me. When I took off my hijab, I had to escape from her and run from my life because she was so angry at the fact that I would take off my hijab and act like the infidels, act like the non-Muslims and to be like them. so it was you know it's so hard to explain how somebody's mind can be so brainwashed so indoctrinated so

possessed with an ideology but hers was so he has been i have to tell you my heart just breaks for you and all of the people that are in the situation because you know we hear these stories you know they're bad parents really bad parents really really really really really dark people that have children. But this is not the same. That's, this is, explain the difference. Well, I don't, you know, I guess the best way for me to describe it was, this was an analogy that San Harris made one time, and I thought this was, this was a really good way of describing it. So I'm going to borrow it from him. But he was saying, when you have a Jehovah's Witness family, for example, and they've got a little daughter, and she's going to die if she has never blood transfusion, if they were

refuse for their daughter to get a blood transfusion. You don't look at those parents and say, those are evil people. Those are bad people. You say, oh my God, they have been, they have been indoctrinated to believe that killing their daughter is the right thing to do, that allowing their daughter to die is the correct thing to do. So you recognize that they have been possessed by this ideology and it is making their humanity, it is suppressing their humanity. And it is suppressing it to the point that they're willing to watch their daughter die. And that's really the best way to describe this Islamist ideology is the exact same thing. It is, it is coming from a religion, but it is so toxic. And it forces people to completely diminish their humanity and put this

ideology first regardless of who's going to be a victim. You're streaming the best of Glenn Beck. To hear more of this interview and others, download the full show podcasts wherever you Good Podcasts. So I've been talking to the last few weeks about some stuff, and you'll understand. I don't mean to be coy about things, but, well, let me just get into it here. You know, the news has been tough, a tough news week, a tough news month, tough news a year. I mean, you know, more and more people are tuning out to the news. It's almost 50% now that don't even watch the news anymore, and that's really, really

dangerous. But let me start with you. you are here every day for a reason. Maybe it's just, you know, William Shatner told me one time, I just love watching you because it's like an arsonist watching a fire. But generally speaking, the people who watch and support this show, I want you to know how extraordinary you are. You know, you're not just consuming information.

You're using that information. You act, you prepare, and you don't just care. This audience sacrifices. over and over and over again, and I have all the receipts for it. In the last decade, let me give you some stats on just you. In the last decade alone, you have given over a quarter of a billion dollars through Mercury 1 to help people in crisis. We are now the first in and the last out, almost every time. And the great thing is you don't just write checks.

Those checks are not big. They're not coming from corporate sponsors. They're coming from people who send us 20 bucks. and you didn't just write checks. You show up. I asked you one time a few years ago if you would just join me in a volunteer event over the weekend. 45,000 people showed up

driving across the states, the country, all over, organizing your churches, bringing your kids, and you took part in what became the single largest volunteer effort ever completed in the United States over a weekend. It was crazy. That's not normal. I want you to know that. You're not part of it.

of a normal crowd. It's rare and it's powerful. When people call you haters or anything else, you know you're not because you're engaged every day. You know when I asked you, could we do something to help these Christians that are being deserted and are dying? Do you know that the Nazarene Fund, which we started just a few years ago, because of you, you have rescued 260,000 people from persecution. Did you know that? I didn't even know that. Like I saw that number the other day. I'm like, you've got to be kidding me.

You funded the largest civilian airlift in history to get Americans and our allies out of Afghanistan. You have completely changed lives. You shaped history. And what amazes me is every day when I meet listeners of this audience, they say the same thing to me. What else can I do? I mean, I just don't know what to do. My answer is always the same. First of all, look at what you've already done.

Look at what you've already done. This audience is the reason the news media is no longer the same because you built a network called the Blaze. Do you realize how far ahead you are of most Americans? Even most people of faith, they're lost. They don't have all of the keys. They don't know what is happening, what's true, what's not. they're not seeing what's coming over the horizon.

So you're way ahead. So if you want to do more, all you have to do is just start where you are, you know. I think another thing that is really unique about this audience is you have a feeling, and I think we all do. Some just dismiss it. We have a feeling inside of us, and it's not restlessness. It is a pull to something more, something real, something really important. It's not random.

And I believe it's a calling. And we all have one. It just depends on who listens to it. With everything that is happening in the world, it is hard to keep, it's just hard to keep up, let alone keep your chin up. And I know, I am so sick of the bad news. I am so sick of all of this stuff. And I spent my life digging through it so you don't have to. But we have to know what is happening and what is coming.

because we have to be ahead of it. So I've been talking to you a while about something that I'm building, and I want to give you a little bit more information on it today. Next year, just so you know, I'm not walking away from radio or the stories that matter. In fact, I'm going to be doubling down on that. But I have told you now for nearly two years that something is shifting inside of me,

and I feel like my calling has changed, and I feel like I'm being called to something different. and I've only felt this twice in my life. I felt it after I sobered up and I just knew. And then I felt it again when I left Fox News and I just knew. On January 1st of 2026, something new begins. And I have named it the torch. You know, we started the blaze together and I think it's time now that we take a bit of that fire and light and we put it

a torch and we lead lead our kids out of this darkness into a brighter future. And I wish I could tell you every detail today, but the truth is some things are still being built. Some things are in beta testing. I tried something yesterday that is the first beta test. I tried it. And I was shocked. I mean, I tried to make this thing fail. And it's, it's incredible. You're going to be blown away, I think. And there are some things that I just can't tell you until later this year. Things are still in testing,

being built and being negotiated. But at its core, the torch is all about education, but not the kind that comes from textbooks or bureaucracies. It is self-directed. It's self-directed learning rooted in history, in liberty, in faith, in philosophy. the things that built this country, personal responsibility, and it is the kind of education that I think changes lives and civilizations.

You know, I've said it so many times before. If we want stronger communities, we have to strengthen ourselves. So if we want better kids, then we have to be better parents. If we want the truth to survive, then we have to know it and fight for it and make it ours. And we have to do it intelligently. faithfully. We have to do it every single day. And that's what the torch is going to be. It's a daily connection. It's a movement. It is a mission. It is a place for like-minded people. And one part of it that I'll share with you today is the culmination of almost a decade of hard work, actually over a

decade of hard work. It is going to include a new kind of museum, a physical and a digital museum, preserving the story of America in ways that we never thought was possible just 10 years ago. And it will give you and your family the opportunity to learn through original artifacts, original sources, real stories from real people who are doing real things. You know, right now, I don't know if you know this, we handpick about 100 young adults from over a thousand plus applicants to spend two weeks with us in an immersive learning thing. at the American Journey experience. Now for the very first time, we have built away for anyone, anywhere in the world, in any language, to do the same thing.

And I have seen this transform young adults, totally transform them. We're also partnering with people of faith and business leaders and educators and innovators, people who know the truth and know how to live it. and we're all coming together in January for not to sell you something, but to empower you. And I want you to know I'm not asking you for anything today. I'm not asking you for any money. I'm not asking you to sign up, I don't download anything. I just want your attention. I want you to stay connected and watch what's coming because I promise you, this will be worth your time.

What I want is renewal of the human spirit. and that is honestly what the torch is. That is my next mission.

And for those of us who have courage and see the writing on the wall, it's going to be a very dynamic and exciting. times and the world is going to need people that can lead is that you join us at glenbeck.com.

Today I wanted to tell you a little bit about the history and education, but there's so much more to come and we'll tell you about it as we go. I'm so excited for this. At the same time, I'm scared out of my mind.

But I just know when you do the right, when you try to do the right thing, no matter how hard it is, when you just, no, I shouldn't say that. When you try to do the right thing and then you pray about it. You know, I told you a couple of weeks ago, you have to make the decisions. God just told me about a year and a half ago. It's not right. It's not right. It's got to change.

Things are going to change. I didn't know what that meant. And it took me about a year to figure it out and, you know, I've been working on this for a long time. And then I brought it to him and said, is this right? Because this could be really crazy bad. And you always know that it's from him when it's like, it could be crazy bad. And he's like, yep, that's me. Go ahead.

Go walk off that bridge. But I just, I have real faith, and I know that you're here for a reason. I know that I'm, I'm with you. And maybe it's just for me to gain hope from you, because I was going through the stuff that you've done, and I just can't believe it. And wait until you see in January how we are going to turbo all of that. We are going to be a very, very bright light, very bright light. But it won't happen unless you're with us.
