Starting point is 00:01:54 Rate, review, share. Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck. program. I'm going to start a personal place today because I did something that I should not have done last night. I couldn't sleep. I got up. And for the first time in a long time, I just went down that
Starting point is 00:03:17 ex-rabbit hole. Good heavens, man. What a cesspool. What is happening to us. At some point, I recognized it. And then I thought, oh, I got to shut this off. And then the talk show host in me, is like, no, I'm just going to keep going, so I want to see if does this ever get, no, no, no, like no hope. Like, that's kind of where I'm starting from today and not a good place to be. So I want to give you some of the stories and put up with me here for a minute. I got to get this out of my system. We'll do that here in just a second.
Starting point is 00:03:57 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Our sponsor is the burn a launcher. Most people go through life assuming nothing bad is ever going to happen right up until the moment that something does. And when that moment arrives, you know, it's not the headlines or the statistics that matter. It's whether you have a way to protect yourself without making that terrible situation even worse. That's why I love the burner launcher. It is non-lethal.
Starting point is 00:04:19 It is effective. It doesn't require a permit or anything else. It uses pepper and tear gas projectiles to stop a threat long enough for you to get to safety. I want to say long enough, 45 minutes. I mean, you could stop, have a quick sandwich. and then get out before they're back up on their feet. It's legal in all 50 states. This is about having time and distance and control
Starting point is 00:04:43 in a moment when everything else feels out of control. It should be in your purse, should be in the smaller your back, or it should be on your hip or in a backpack. Order on Amazon and get your Burna before Christmas, or you can visit Burnah, B-Y-R-N-A-com slash blend, and find a retailer near you like Sportsman's Warehouse. pick yours up today at Burnab, B-Y-R-N-A-com slash Glenn. I'm going to take you to Chico, California.
Starting point is 00:05:12 An elderly target employee. Found herself at the center of national attention recently over the weekend. Yesterday, it really kind of came to a head. She was being filmed by somebody who, I mean, I don't know how you described this person, honestly. The individual berated her because she was wearing a red shirt.
Starting point is 00:05:35 I guess everybody at Target needs to wear a red shirt, but you can wear whatever red shirt you want in this red shirt, you know, just said freedom on it and had the flag on it. And then said Charlie Kirk. Well, that apparently is enough in Chico, California, to have the target customers come at you with a vengeance. Listen to what happened. Why? Do you let you wear that shirt here? Yes. Why?
Starting point is 00:06:01 Why are you taking my picture? Why are you wearing that shirt? You're working. It's not a Target shirt. I can wear any red shirt. It's not a plain shirt. It doesn't have to be a... Is Charlie Kirk's shirt?
Starting point is 00:06:14 Yes. Oh, yes, I know. Are you fucking stupid? No. Why the fuck would you wear that? You're at work at Target. That's not a Target shirt. It's not a plain red shirt. You support a racist.
Starting point is 00:06:27 It's not racist. You support a racist. He's not a racist. Yes, he is. Yes, he fucking is. I'm sorry. but I'm not going to stand here and argue with you're not you should go get your manager you should not be allowed to wear the at work unacceptable unacceptable unacceptable that's your opinion is he's a racist and you support him that's your
Starting point is 00:06:49 yes it is sir and you should you should not be allowed to wear that this is going to be taken above your head that's insane all right insane okay i i stop i just let me take you to a long fellow poem written around this time of the year. That's what makes this show different. Who else is going to Longfellow from that? I heard the bells on Christmas Day, their old familiar carols play, and wild and sweet the words repeat of peace on earth, goodwill to men. And thought how, as the day had come, the belfries of all Christendom had rolled along the unbroken song of peace on earth, goodwill to men, till ringing, singing on its way, the world revolved from night to day, a voice, a chime, a chant sublime of peace on earth, goodwill to men. I woke up this morning with that poem on my mind. After spending, I don't
Starting point is 00:08:01 even know, an hour, going down this rabbit hole and seeing poison, absolute point, you don't want to know what's wrong with our society? We're all going down that rabbit hole. I haven't done that in a while. good heavens. Don't go down that rabbit hole. With ringing and singing on its way, I don't feel that at all. Today, I feel as though the world has revolved from day to night, not from night to day. Despair is what I feel. But that's what the algorithm wanted me to feel. If you're watching that algorithm, you are, you see a world, you see a civilizance. You see a civilization. that is coming apart at the seams. Our children are lost.
Starting point is 00:08:58 So suicide is at record levels. An enemy that once tried to stamp out the Christian world a thousand years ago is back and this time with a vengeance. And we barely understand it. We refuse to even name it. We refuse to even look at it. We excuse it. Meanwhile, we're building our own cage, brick by brick, of debt and ignorance and hatred.
Starting point is 00:09:23 My gosh. hatred, then from each black accursed mouth, the cannons thundered in the south, and with the sound the carols drowned of peace on earth goodwill to men. The canary in the coal mine, the Jewish people are spiritual kin, under attack in a way, I prayed we would never see again. We all promised it would never happen again. We haven't seen this since the dark cloud started to form in the 1930s, things we all swore never again. And yet here we are. Half the population is cheering, it seems. A quarter is excusing it. Well, I don't know. They do make a good point, but I don't think they should be killed. And the rest of us are standing frozen looking at each other going,
Starting point is 00:10:18 what the hell is happening? How is this happening? What is wrong with the people I once called friends? Longfellow wrote, it was as if an earth cake. It is, it is, it is, it is, is as if an earthquake rent the hearth stones of a continent and made forlorn the households born of peace on earth goodwill to men. Feel like an earthquake? Does anybody recognize? How many will even recognize that I believe we're in the early days of World War III? It is so clear if you take a step back and you look at the big picture,
Starting point is 00:11:02 it's clear. We are at the beginning of massive civil and civilized. change that usually includes collapse and world war, except this time there is no America riding to the rescue because America is just tearing itself apart. There's no rising power in the wings. We're all in the same boat and we're all lost in a fog with no apparent lighthouse. This is how it always happens. Civilizations that follow this path always, always bring about their own destruction. As I'm going down this rabbit hole last night, I'm looking,
Starting point is 00:11:50 what, what are people even talking about? Why is everybody hating one another? The petty politics and the petty politicians. And meanwhile, I last night I'm like, this is what we're arguing about. This is what we're arguing about. It took a lot for me to get out of bed this morning and come in because I don't want anything to do with this.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Because while we are doing all of that, we are failing to see our neighbors, the ones who have lost their jobs, people who are barely holding on to anything before COVID. Those are who are forgotten in pain, suffering in silence. Or worse, those just living a few feet away that are trapped in the shadows of their own minds.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Man, I related deeply to long. fellow this morning and in despair I hung my head. You know when he wrote that poem he was going through the nightmare of the civil war. His son Charles had run away to join the Union Army. He was just coming home around Christmas time. He was gravely wounded. They carried back his broken body and his broken spirit and he was in despair over this. And then his wife, Fannie, was in the kitchen cooking. And remember, it was all open fires and she was wearing a big dress. He's in the other part of the house and he starts to hear her scream. By the time he gets into where the hearth is with cooking, she's completely engulfed in flames. He grabs her, he throws her down to the
Starting point is 00:13:40 ground, rolls on top of her, does everything he can to put her out, and that's when he confesses, and in despair I bowed my head, there is no peace on earth, I said, for hate is strong, mocks the song of peace on earth, goodwill to men. I've lived long enough and survived enough seasons of life to know that when you reach this place, there might be a glimmer of hope, but the heavens don't suddenly open up. You don't always see the light. You don't always feel the warmth right away. You just have to choose.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Peace on earth will come. Just probably not today. And it's the kind of peace that he promises, a deeper piece, the peace we search for in the quiet moments when we're alone, the peace that allows us to smile and perhaps shake our head even in despair. A piece that lets us see his hand moving in even the most bleak and messiest situations.
Starting point is 00:15:07 The knowing deep down somewhere in your bones that no matter what is happening right now, it's going to put us exactly where I need to be. And as I hung my head in despair, I thought of you, the millions in America, the millions more around the world, who have it far worse than any of us can imagine. Yet you still carry hope. You're still carrying the light. I've seen it myself. Just in the kindness that happened in the last week,
Starting point is 00:15:47 just on this show, people coming together to help save a woman's life. The courage of the man in Australia who stopped a shooter at the risk of his own life because he just remembered the ancient truth that if not me, who, if not now, when, this is wrong. Stop it. I see it in my own children who are facing a world I never had to. I can't relate to. Not knowing what tomorrow holds. In parents who are struggling every day just to keep their family
Starting point is 00:16:16 together, keep the house standing, pay the bills, but food on the table. Yet they get up every morning because despair, quitting, self-pity doesn't have a home in them. The Lord is changing hearts. There is light. Those stories just don't trend on TikTok or X. I don't know how Longfellow got there. But I know how I got to the end of his poem. Then peeled the bells more loud and deep. God is not dead, nor doth he sleep. The wrong shall fail. The right prevail. With peace on earth, goodwill toward men. God's not dead. He is so active right now. He has not abandoned us. He has not abandon you. We just might not see it yet. For surely, he is not finished yet. Lifelock is our sponsor, and around Christmas, we spend so much time thinking about gifts, things to buy, things to
Starting point is 00:18:02 wrap, things to check off a list. But one of the most meaningful gifts you can give somebody that that you love is protection. And I'm talking about real protection against a threat. Most people never see coming because when your identity is stolen, it doesn't just ruin a week. It can turn your entire life upside down. Lifelock makes that kind of disaster a lot less likely. They monitor for unusual activity, the strange accounts, the dark web trading, the things
Starting point is 00:18:26 that signal somebody's trying to become you. And if there is a problem, you've got a restoration team here in America that works to fix it. And it's not just an alert. It's support from real people who know. know how to untangle this mess because they've seen it before.

Starting point is 00:19:21 episode of Glenn TV. For the past 14 years, we have been spending our nights together, learning the truth, good and bad about our country. We've exposed evil, you know, putting a billion, we should count how many magnets we have made and put on our chalkboards over the last 14 years. And tonight, I wanted to take a look back and to show you what we've been through, what we've discovered together from 2011 until now. What's changed? What's stayed the same. What stupid things have we done? What stories where we weigh ahead on and how far has America come? My staff will not tell me what clips that they have chosen. They want my raw reaction. Okay. So I'll be watching them back with you at the same time and commenting on them. I did request
Starting point is 00:20:11 one clip and that is the time I laid out the entire Elon Omar marriage scandal on the chalkboard. yes, she absolutely married her brother. I don't know if that might come in handy in 2026, but maybe we should brush off that super, super classic. I often say this, but this time it feels a little different. This is the end of a chapter. New chapter begins January 5th, but this is the end of a chapter is a show you don't want to miss. An end of an era and the start of a new one tonight. 6 p.m. Eastern. Is it 6? Or is it not? Is it six tonight? On Blaze TV and on my YouTube channel.
Starting point is 00:20:53 I think it's 6 p.m. on YouTube and 9 p.m. on Blaze TV. So we'll see you there, America. Legitimately a perfect way for you to end your reign of television shows here in the Blaze, not knowing when the show airs. Yeah, that's perfect. So I know when the show airs. I know it airs on the Blaze at 9 p.m. But my copy in front of me says tonight at 6.
Starting point is 00:21:14 I think Blaze TV is at 9. YouTube is at 6 tonight. Okay. I miss it. There you go. Hey, can I give you a little bit of good news related to your monologue? Jeannie, our girl from Target, which, by the way, just watching that video, she's so patient and kind and... So patient.
Starting point is 00:21:30 She doesn't get angry at all. She doesn't try to push back at all. She just, you know, I mean, I just wish I had that patience in a moment like that. But there was a give-send go that was started for her. And it said fundraising to give Jeannie from Target a vacation. Which she will get a pretty sweet vacation with $71,548 so far. Really sweet. And that's obviously just beginning.
Starting point is 00:21:57 I mean, this is a video people probably just saw. So check it out. It's give send go.com. And it's Jeannie from Target, J-E-A-N-I-E from Target. If you search there, you can donate if you like. She deserves a nice vacation. She does. We're reaching out ourselves.
Starting point is 00:22:18 I've got something special. I want to do for her as well myself. But if you go to give and go, if you'd like to send her the message that, Hey, Jeannie, Woo! Congratulations, you are a better person than I am. You really are. I'm going to talk about the person that filmed her doing this.
Starting point is 00:22:43 A little later on in the program. I just need to get out of this kind of mode. You know what I mean? otherwise I'll say things that I don't want to say. Maybe should be said. I'm not sure. Jesus wouldn't say him, so I'm not going to say him today. But we'll give you some more information on that.
Starting point is 00:22:59 And give send go. It's genie from Target. Givesendgo.com, genie from Target, if you'd like to help her out. Also, we are still doing our Mercury One fundraiser for families that are in need this holiday season. It is for gifts. It is for food. All you have to do is go to Mercury1.org. and give now mercury1.org food delivering groceries and gifts directly to households that are facing things that thank God we don't have to face.

Call 800906 2440 for details about credit costs and terms. You know, most families don't sit around, you know, looking at their mortgage or their debt until one day it hits them. You know, these numbers are not moving in the right direction, you know, maybe it's the credit cards, maybe it's the rate that they locked in years ago. Maybe it's the cost of living that is just piling up quietly in the background.
Starting point is 00:24:02 But there comes a point when you realize, you know, I think, I think my money should be working for me. This is where American financing comes in.

Get all the details by signing up to the email newsletter. It's free at glenbeck.com. I haven't talked about Hanukkah yet. Today is the best day to talk about Hanukkah, I believe. It is the fourth night of Hanukkah.
Starting point is 00:25:45 At least this is the one where I think it means the most to all of us. I don't care if you're Jewish or Christian or, you know, atheist. Today, the fourth day of Hanukkah sends a really important message because the fourth day is not the beginning when the miracle is still an idea. It's not the end when the light is undeniable. It's the middle. When the darkness hasn't surrendered, the light is still being tested. This is the hardest night. This is the hardest place to stand.
Starting point is 00:26:21 History isn't decided at the beginning of a fight. and it's rarely remembered at the end when history is truly decided is right here in the middle when the cost is real and the outcome is unclear. Do you know how this is going to end? Because I don't.
Starting point is 00:26:38 I have hope, but I don't have as much hope as I did at the beginning. And I'm certainly not going to have as much hope and joy as I will in the end when the light's still there. Right now it's unclear and endurance matters more than enthusiasm. Just endure. Hanukkah is not a children's story. Hanukkah is not a, just a Jewish story.
Starting point is 00:27:03 It's not about presence. It's not about sentiment. It's about a small group of exhausted people who refuse to surrender their faith, who refuse to surrender their identity or their God to an empire that demanded conformity, not conversion, conformity. bow a little, blend in, be reasonable, be quiet, sit down. Their temple had been defiled. Their language was erased. Their calendar was outlawed. Faith itself was declared incompatible with progress.
Starting point is 00:27:39 And their oil was insufficient. It wouldn't last. By every practical measure, the story should have ended there. They had no army, they had no allies, they had no numbers, no time. and yet they lit the lamp anyway. That to me is the center of Hanukkah. Not the miracle that followed, but the decision that preceded it.
Starting point is 00:28:09 They didn't light the lamp because they knew it would last for eight days. They had no idea. They lit it because they knew who they were. Can the same be said for us? Do we know who we are? to my Jewish friends, I know you've got to be feeling something painfully familiar, alone and exposed, watching old lies return with new confidence, hearing chance that we're supposed to have been buried in the last century, we all thought that had happened, seeing the masks come off now and realizing how thin they really were,
Starting point is 00:28:48 how fragile civilizations really are. Meanwhile, you're being told you're exaggerating, or it's complicated. Or the outrage, your outrage has to be carefully rationed here. They're asked to explain their own fear to people who have never had to carry that fear. And they look around and they notice something chilling. The loudest voices often on their side. A quarter cheer. A quarter excuse. And too many that just look away.
Starting point is 00:29:20 realizing that never again, apparently kind of conditional, you know, unless we have some new information about, you know, wait a minute, Hitler might have been a good guy. Christmas brings us the hope. Not at Christmas. They had to wait 30 plus years to Easter, the resurrection. Christmas is the beginning. It's what he did in the middle.
Starting point is 00:29:57 for 33 years that got him to the end of the resurrection that changed our lives. Hanukkah doesn't promise safety. It promises meaning. It doesn't say the powerful are suddenly become, are going to become just all of a sudden overnight. It doesn't say anywhere. The crowd's going to wake up. It doesn't say, you know, you're faithful. You're going to be spared. You're going to be spared pain and death and everything else. It says this. You light the candle even when you think it feels pointless to do it. You guard the flame even when the world looks away. You refuse to let desecration have the last word. You don't measure truth by numbers or applause or power, but by faithfulness. You light the lamp
Starting point is 00:30:53 because it's who you are. Empires always believe they're permanent. And never having, and never, ever-ending Roman Empire, a thousand-year Reich. But that arrogance always underestimates one thing. And this is why they do everything they can to make sure you don't become this. They always underestimate a people who remember who they are. That's why traditions are so important. Here's a promise for them and for us. darkness has never defeated all at once.
Starting point is 00:31:56 It's pushed back. It's pushed back into the corners and the cracks from which it crawled. It's pushed back one deliberate act of light at a time. One candle. Then another. Then another. Not some garish performative light that we see all the time now. not fashionable light, but costly, stubborn, defiant light.
Starting point is 00:32:34 The fourth night of Hanukkah, this is why it's one of my favorites. It's the middle. You're not really hoping anymore. It's not the beginning. I'm going to light and I'm going to hope because I know it's going to end out that way. People who started, they didn't know it was going to end out that way. By the fourth night, you're committed. You're committed.
Starting point is 00:33:01 On this far. there's no going back. You've stopped asking if it will be easy. You've just decided it's going to be done. And that is how a civilization survives. It's committed. It's going to be done. I don't know what comes my way.
Starting point is 00:33:22 I don't know how hard it's going to be. I don't know the true cost of this. I don't know the ending. But I will stand. because I know who I am and it will be done. And I'm not going to pretend the darkness isn't there because it is.
Starting point is 00:33:44 But I'm going to light the flame anyway. I will stand there and protect it and dare it to go out. Happy Hanukkah. More in a minute. Let me tell you about my Patriots apply. There are moments in history when the world just feels really,
Starting point is 00:34:11 really, really unstable, you know? Little, I mean, does it feel that way a little bit? You read the headlines in the news. You can watch the markets. You can, you know, look at all the other countries and the way they're moving. My gosh, doesn't it just see? I don't want to do this today. I just want to get to Christmas.
Starting point is 00:34:29 I don't want to talk about all this stuff. This is not the time to be caught off guard. One of the simplest, most practical steps any family can take is to have emergency food put away just in case because then you're not thinking about it. My Patriot supply makes that easy.

You get the juice cleanses, the soup diets, the raw only phase. There's a lot out there. And if you stick with that pattern long enough, you eventually really on a couple. You know, you lose the weight and then it finds its way back. Doctors call that weight cycling and half of Americans deal

Starting point is 00:37:44 like we just had off the air. He said, as soon as I get off the air, he said, so if hope is what you were trying to give people in the last 45 minutes, I'm not sure you landed that plane. Good, thank you, Stu. I appreciate that. It's the, you know, look, it's a tough, I will say it's a tough time,
Starting point is 00:38:03 especially if you spent some time on X, I can understand why you're maybe feeling this way. Any of them. Yeah, I mean, it's not a knock on an X in particular, but that one does seem to be politically the most toxic at times. Because it's the one that is the most political, unfortunately, but it is nasty. It is. It really is. I've noticed, too, I don't know if they made a switch on the website or the software or whatever, but when I go on Twitter, I feel like I actually have a relatively good experience. I mean, we joke about it being the worst thing in the world sometimes. But sometimes, you know, I get a lot of interesting information. And sometimes I'm hearing for people that I think are interesting and smart.
Starting point is 00:38:43 And I've realized lately, I think they've made a change where maybe when I'm reloading it or something, it's kicking me into the for you tab. So there's for you and following are the two tabs. If you don't use Twitter, those are the two things. And so following is just a straight feat of the people you've chosen to look at. You've chosen to follow. And then 4U is the algorithm's recommendations. Here's a bunch of content. And it's like, when I'm in the following tab, which is where I am all the time,
Starting point is 00:39:12 it's where I always live, it's pretty good. Like, you know, there's some crazy stuff in there, of course, but generally speaking, pretty good and I'm pretty happy with it. But when it's been kicking me into the 4U tab, I don't check, so I don't realize it. I'm like, what is going on? This is insane. It's all really terrible, and it's all, half the content is about how bad Jews are.
Starting point is 00:39:30 And I'm like, what is this? and that's in the for you. When I go to the following, that is exactly what happened to me last night. I didn't even check. I didn't even let's up at the top. I bet. It just opens into the four you, not following.
Starting point is 00:39:44 I don't want the four you. No, the four you sucks. It's some, you know, it's the content that I guess the company wants you to have because it's the most infuriating and the most outrageous and the most likely to make you engage or throw your computer across the room. And it's like,
Starting point is 00:40:00 if you curate your own group, group of people that are smart and interesting to you that bring value, it's a pretty good service. You know, there's a lot on there that I really like. The 4U is as if I'd rather light myself on fire. That is basically how I feel about the 4U tab on X. Oh my gosh, Stu. I mean, I haven't been on X for more than probably five minutes, maybe in the last two months.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Okay. And, yeah, and just, I'm just trying to stay off them. I'll get on. I'll post something. I'll get off. And oh my gosh. I was like, has it always been this way? Because it just sucks you down into a place where we're like, we are doomed as human beings. And we're not doomed as human beings.
Starting point is 00:40:47 We're not. We are, if we all go down that rabbit hole. I could not believe the things that were being said about people and about each other and each side. And it was the, it's the worst of humanity. and you know, we have a responsibility. One of the things that I'm trying to do with the torch next year and we'll be doing a lot of different things is I don't want to start. I don't, I'm tired of making it about people. And we've tried not to make it about people,
Starting point is 00:41:15 but it is always just about people and politics and, you know, personalities. I'm tired of that. I want it to be about facts. And then I want it to be about something that is uplifting, true things that help me get through the day. I don't need something that says, oh, by the way, you want another load on your back? Here you go.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Let me throw this concrete bag on your shoulder as well. I want something that will tell me the truth, that, yeah, you've got a lot of concrete to haul, but also then we'll give me some. We have to stop shoveling garbage into our own heads. God, we have to. We have to. It's each of our responsibilities.
Starting point is 00:42:01 And if we don't stop shoveling the garbage in our head and start shoveling good things into our head, we're in trouble. I mean, you know, the old adage, you know, as a man thinketh, or, you know, you are what you eat. It's a universal truth. That which you stare upon or gaze upon, you become. We're gazing upon garbage, just garbage. And it's, it was breathtaking, just breathtaking. Yeah, it's, it's a situation, especially when you pull yourself out of it for a while and then go back in, you realize it's really like, it's not helpful in most sense. And I feel too, like I look at, you look at your, I think it's your profile or something where they show you, you know, how many tweets you've sent or whatever.
Starting point is 00:42:52 And I'm just like, I look back at that because we, I remember being in the studio in New York when Twitter kind of was first coming out. out, and as is with all these trendy things, I resist them for a very long time. And then I remember signing up on the air, we kind of joined it, and we were being, you know, talking about it. It was in May 2009, apparently, May 2009, when we did that, think about how many tweets I've sent, how much time I've read this stuff, and a lot of it's for work, and there's reasons I can justify it, but God, I cannot, I cannot possibly claim that that time was worthwhile. There's just, it's impossible to describe what a giant waste of time. now over 16 years of me to hop it on this website a couple times a day.
Starting point is 00:43:33 Just a total, you know, again, no knock on Elon Musk. I think he's great. He's made it better. It's been important for free speech. There's a lot of things you could say about it. But just personally, man, I just feels like a giant waste of time. It is. It is.
Starting point is 00:43:48 And it's creating something in all of us that we're, that's not real. It's just not real. Get off it. get off and start putting good things in your in your head this the torch comes january 5th jace medical is our sponsor you know most of my emergencies don't wait for the dramatic music and the movie you know scene it's like okay places everyone here it comes they happen in the middle of real life in a kitchen in a driveway on a holiday trip in that moment you don't get extra time to figure out what to do you either have the right tools or you don't this is why jace has been building

We're going to talk a little bit about his bill about, you know, because the problem is not. just illegal immigration. It's legal immigration as well. And if you haven't heard the story about the guy from China who is just fathering children just to get him here in the United States
Starting point is 00:46:41 and I think he's got 100 children now, he's just surrogates. And he keeps sending him over here and they're all now citizens. Oh, that's good. Such craziness. We'll talk about that with Chip here and so much more in just a second. First, let me tell you about Rough Greens. One of the strangest things about having a dog is how much their energy changes over the years. They slow down a little, they sleep more. They don't run to the front door quite as fast.

Rough Greens is designed to give you your dog back. What processed food took away from your dog. It's not a new brand of kibble. It's a powdered blend of
Starting point is 00:47:28 vitamins, minerals, probiotics, any oxidants that you add to their food that they already eat. And when their body finally gets what it's been missing, you start seeing little changes first, then bigger ones, more energy, better mobility, brighter attitude. Your dog doesn't have to slow down long before his or his or her time. Don't change your dog's food. Just add rough greens.

I mean, not in the literal sense. Your dog's not going. Anyway, let me go to Chip Roy. Hello, Chip. How are you, sir?
Starting point is 00:48:10 How are you? Merry Christmas, brother. Merry Christmas. This is our congressman from the great state of Texas. He is also a candidate for Texas Attorney General. Talk to me about your bill on immigration. Does it have a chance of even pat? Tell me what it is.
Starting point is 00:48:28 I want to know if it has a chance of passing. Sure. I mean, you know, you opened this segment by talking about our need to focus on not just illegal immigration, but legal immigration. And I strongly believe that that is true. I think for way too long, we have been getting loose, fast and loose, overly corporate, overly driven by, you know, your kind of chamber of commerce crowd. And all of a sudden we've now got a situation where we have millions of people in our country. that are not seeking to assimilate, not seeking to be the, quote, melting pot, but rather trying to kind of reestablish their cultures from other countries here
Starting point is 00:49:08 rather than becoming fully American. And that's been a long string of decisions. And to go back and put it in perspective, we have 51.5 million foreign-born people here in the United States. The vast majority of whom did not come here illegally, right, but legally. and then they, but they've been abusing the process in the system because we've got this broad use of H-1B visas,
Starting point is 00:49:33 we've got these things called diversity visas, we have chain migration where you've got everybody's cousin, uncle, aunt, whatever, and they're just growing the population here. And this is now, unlike it was a century ago, right, when we had the mass migration, the late 1800s, and the early 1900s, and at that point we didn't have a welfare state,
Starting point is 00:49:52 we had schools that were teaching America was great and believe in the Constitution, and we had, you know, God in the schools, and we had our culture being elevated, not being criticized. And at that point, we still froze immigration in the 1920s, right? We still flatlined it because everybody said, whoa, whoa, whoa, we've had so many people come in. And I think our country was stronger for it. Today, it's worse, because we've got so many people coming here who are not assimilating. We have schools that are not teaching people that America is great. And we certainly are continuing to have a welfare state now that is causing a big problem. So I think we should pause it. It's called the Pause Act. We should pause the Legal Immigration
Starting point is 00:50:30 until we fix a lot of things. Fix diversity visas. Fix chain migration. Fix H-1B. Can you tell me what a diversity visa? What is a diversity visa? I don't even know if I know what that is. Right. So diversity visas, chain migration, these are all things that are being used currently to have expansive use of the ability of people to come into the country and say that they're, you know, a family member, right, an extended individual through what we call chain migration. So you'll have a person come in and instead of it being a close-knit family member, right, instead of it being, okay, this is my spouse or this is my child, it's cousins and aunts and uncles and so forth. And, you know, this is the kind of thing that we've got to reform.
Starting point is 00:51:19 including H-1B visas and including all of the problems we have here with birthright citizenship. Obviously, the Supreme Court is going to hear the Trump administration's, you know, executive order on that. But we should codify a new view of how we deal with birthright citizenship. You should only be a citizen that you're born of citizen parent, not because you came and were on our dirt. So these are things that if you don't fix, or like Plylea V.O in Texas, right? We had a Supreme Court opinion in the 1980s that said we have to educate the show. children of illegal aliens, illegal alien children. We should challenge that, overturn it, and we should fix it.
Starting point is 00:51:55 And to fix the magnets, fix culture. And I think we need to do that. So that's why I introduced the bill deposit. I just talked to a police officer day before yesterday. I was walking down the street going into the store for Christmas, and he said, hey, Glenn Beck. And he had this slight accent. I couldn't tell exactly what it was. and then he said eventually said, I'm Irish.
Starting point is 00:52:26 I came from Ireland. He said, I've been here for 20 years, but my wife and Ireland to Ireland. And I said, my gosh, does Ireland even exist anymore? And he said, Glenn, it used to be, he said, I go back every year. He said, it used to be you could go anywhere and you'd have the Irish pub and, you know, you'd see Irishmen everywhere. And yes, there were people from other parts of the world, et cetera, et cetera, but it was Irish. He said, I can go now into my hometowns, small ones.
Starting point is 00:52:50 And he said, I don't see another Irish. Irishman. He said the Irish culture is completely annihilated. He said, it's all mosques and Pakistanis and whatever. And he said, you know, is there ever anyone going to say, hey, wait a minute, the Irish culture, the American culture, the English culture, the whatever culture, that that's important too. When is anybody going to step step up and say, you know what, we don't want to lose this by embracing that. We can have both, but not like this. Well, Glenn, and you know, and by the way, the thing I left out on the diversity basis, I got up and I started talking about chain migration, but just so you know, right, that's a program
Starting point is 00:53:36 very specifically designed to bring people in from countries that we don't have significant immigration from. It's literally designed to, quote, diversify our immigration population. So, so that's, and it's on the sense of, right. And that's, That's my point. And this is what's so wrong about our immigration system. And it's being done that way. And the SIV program from Afghanistan, all of it's been being abused. And we've had this mass migration. And again, you are an ardent defender of the First Amendment. So am I. You can believe what you want to believe, right? And we would never want to insert the federal government into your belief system, like between you and God. But what we have to remember about Islam is that it is a politically, most important.
Starting point is 00:54:21 motivated group of individuals, right? This is when we look at the core and we look at what you look at what the Muslim brother is talking about when you look at Sharia law When you look at the tenets of Islam then there is a massive political component to it and we have to remember that We have to remember and actually read the words read what's being said and go look at what's happening in Dallas like Epic City is not just an accident what's happening with the growth and the promotion of Sharia law in the United Kingdom, in France, now in America, it's not an accident, okay? And this is well beyond, hey, you can believe what you want to believe. You can be an atheist and agnostic. You can be Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, right?
Starting point is 00:55:05 We stand for that principle. But when you come here to annihilate and change our culture, then you've got to approach that. We, we Americans, have to approach that in a different way. and I believe we should pause immigration, doing what the president is doing, remove a whole lot of the people dumped into our country under Biden, you know, illegal immigrants asylum that were abused for all that was abused by Biden and Majorcas, and go around and make sure that we're resetting the table and reset our laws, and we should just pause for a lot and reclaim our American culture to your point about what you just said about Ireland.
Starting point is 00:55:43 You laid out, I saw your press release and you lay out what this bill would do. And I got to read this to the audience because I can't believe you actually have to say this. It would end the practice of automatic citizenship. Yeah. And chain migration. Yep. That's not what the 14th Amendment says. That's not what it was about.
Starting point is 00:56:02 That's not what it was written for. Anyway. And the H-1B visa program. Got it. Ensure immigrant assimilation. Got it. Now listen to these last three. This is what he's proposing.
Starting point is 00:56:13 We do. Okay, we're not doing it. He's proposing we do this. Deny entry to Sharia law adherence. Oh, I don't know. Yes. I can't believe we have to even say that out loud. Deny entry to Chinese Communist Party members. I don't know. Yes. And the third one, deny entry to terrorists. This is a civilization that is on a suicidal path. If that can't happen. not, it's crazy that that's not already happening. Suicide.
Starting point is 00:56:49 Well, the other, the other element to it that we must factor in is the welfare that is being doled out to non-citizens in the form of not just food stamps, Medicaid, all of the social programs of the federal government, but also our local schools and local hospitals to get inundated by people that are coming into the United States knowing. that they'll get free health care, a free education, and they might be able to then use birthright citizenship to get a hook and come here and grow here. And none of this is about the melting pot.
Starting point is 00:57:25 And Glenn, that's what I'm trying to make the case here to people. When we had people who came here who largely shared our values, and when they came here, they wanted their kids to learn English, they wanted their kids to love America, they wanted their kids to understand our history and our founding. They appreciated what this country stood for. By the way, that math, migration occurred right after the Civil War. So our country had literally been at war, and people
Starting point is 00:57:49 said, I want to go there, because this country, country stood for something bigger and better, and people knew it, but they wanted to be a part of it, and they wanted to embrace it. They didn't want to change it. And that's not true now, right? That's definitively not true. When I have colleagues in the United States Congress, like Elon Omar, who are openly in a home country, we don't record you can't win a war that you don't acknowledge exist, Glenn. And there is a war being waged against our way of life and against our culture. So look, I'm introducing legislation here, but it's also why I'm running for attorney general, right? And I'm not going to go to a campaign speech here, but we've got to have states that are standing up and leading this fight as well
Starting point is 00:58:38 if we're going to save America. You brought up, you know, there's a war being waged. every alarm bell in me is going off. Every alarm bell in me. We are, we're in a war. We won't even recognize it. I think the president has, but I think it's going to take a lot more than what we're doing right now.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Look at what's happening in Europe. France just canceled their ball drop, you know, for New Year's Eve. They have it at the Arctic Triumph every year. They canceled it and said, just stay at home and watch a rerun of it. from another year. That's insanity. They've just surrendered.
Starting point is 00:59:23 How serious are we at preparing for a civilizational war? Well, I think on the positive side, we have an increasing number of people in leadership who are understanding
Starting point is 00:59:44 the threat in a way that they didn't a year ago or five years ago. That being said, We also have a long way to go in a very short time to get there, right? We have got to move quickly. If you see what's happening in Europe, right, and we go, well, they're 20 years ahead of us. I don't think that's true. I think Europe is a mere, you know, months, years, a few years ahead of us in terms of how bad it's gotten.
Starting point is 01:00:12 And I think we're now realizing how much damage we've done over the last decade in particular, certainly the last two decades, in terms of the mass influx of people that do not ultimately share our values. So I do think it's important that we support the president on what he's doing and removing bad actors and making sure that we're removing people that need to be removed or here legally. But if we don't reform our legal immigration system immediately and pause it and freeze it and reset who we are as Americans and get people to understand that when you're here, You're going to embrace him being an American. Then we're not going to save the country, right?
Starting point is 01:00:50 So that's why I wanted to introduce this bill. It's why I'm going to introduce more. It's why I introduced several legislation to vet people for Sharia law. It's why introduced bill to take away the tax status for care. Like, we've got to get people to realize that we need immediate change. We can't wait. Right now, Congress, all due respect, is not codifying or advancing the ball on this front yet. The president is doing it unilaterally.
Starting point is 01:01:14 And I think that's a problem. Can the House actually get it done? Are we going to pass it? Is it have a chance of ever getting to the president's desk? Right now, we are socializing it, and there's a growing number of people who support the concept, and you see it not on social media. But we've got to get it socialized between the White House and the leadership in the House to get it to the point of trying to force a vote.
Starting point is 01:01:37 There's going to be a lot of resistance, okay? There's a lot of people that are going to be listening to business interests, a lot of people who are going to say, well, I've got a group of a certain culture in my particular district and so forth. And we've got to rise above that and recognize if we don't do this, then we have no chance to save the country. Because if another 55,000 people come in on diversity visas this year, and another 55,000 come in next year, and then another 55,000 the following year, all from these supposed, you know, low immigration countries, for purposes of diversity in addition to the chain migration, in addition to H1B visas. Like, do the math.
Starting point is 01:02:18 See what's happening. And then how many kids are having. And so we've got to freeze that and reset what we want to do for our country. All right. It's called the Paws Act. Get online, support Chip Roy and the Paws Act. Ask your congressman, your senators to join with Chip on the Paws Act. You can follow him on X at Chip Roy TX.
Starting point is 01:02:46 He is also running for a candidate for attorney general. What is your website, Chip. Chipproy.com. It's pretty simple, pretty straightforward. I appreciate it. And look, you know, this Christmas season, just for everybody out there, Merry Christmas. We live in the greatest country in the history of the world.
Starting point is 01:03:03 We've got to keep our heads up and put our faith in Jesus and remember that it is upon us to pass this down to our kids and grandkids. Thank you so much, Chip Roy. Let me tell you about the International Fellowship. What happened on Bondi Beach supposed to be impossible, right? Festival of Life, children, families, people of faith, celebrating one of the oldest traditions in Scripture, a celebration that, honestly, Jesus observed. And yet in that moment of prayer and joy and singing, darkness stepped forward with a gun or a couple of them. And a world saw something it did not want to believe. Even on the other side of the globe, Jewish people are still being targeted, not for their politics, not for any action they take. but because they're Jewish. Even with a ceasefire in Israel, the hatred has not stopped and it's going to get worse.
Starting point is 01:03:51 This is why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews exist. To stand in that gap, when the world reminds us how fragile peace really is, they will provide safety, food, shelter, and security for Jews and Israel, the former Soviet Union communities all over the world where fear has become a daily reality. They need to know there are Christians that stand with them. you and I are called to be part of that light. Your gift today will help provide the security that God's people so desperately need. Rush your gift now.

Hey, let me, last night I was using my chirp. Because sometimes I have just really bad back. And, you know, you can't always have a masseuse on call.
Starting point is 01:04:56 Where's my masseuse, please? And just really bad. Got on my chirp last night, started using it. And I thought, there are so many people with bad backs. Could I give away a chirp today? This is 888-727 Beck. I'm asking, we're just going to ask for, you know, be cool. if you have a really bad back call.
Starting point is 01:05:21 If you don't, I mean, this is something, not where you can afford a really expensive massage chair, but you can get the chirp, and I want to give it to somebody who has a bad back just for Christmas, 888-727 Beck. I never, ever, ever do things like this, but I want to give a couple of these away. So if you have a really bad back, honor system, please, honor system.
Starting point is 01:05:41 Would you want the chirp if you didn't have a bad back? Would there be any reason to have it? Yes. It's just a nice massage. That's not who I'm giving it to. Yeah, it's a great massage. It's a great massage. I happen to have a little influence as to how these calls get screened.
Starting point is 01:05:56 I mean, I can make sure maybe I get that. My back's fine. No, he doesn't. No, he doesn't. He has no influence. Sarah, does he have any influence on this program? No. Yeah, a little bit.
Starting point is 01:06:05 Oh. No, I think the answer is none. Yeah, you should say, none. Remember, I'm leaving. You should say no. Yeah. He has no juice anymore, Sarah. He has no juice.
Starting point is 01:06:15 He's on Santa's naughty. list. No, that's great. Very nice. That's interesting because you're acting like Santa Claus, but you look much more like the colonel today than even normal. So Santa KFC can give you a back ailment device. You don't, you don't, you don't, such a jerk.

You know, I don't know what they were doing, kicking rocks in the snow, you know, in Rhode Island. But it didn't fill me with confidence when I saw the FBI, you know, using their foot to scrape away the snow. Again, probably the best thing you do, whatever, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:08:59 But it just didn't fill me with confidence that we have any idea. We're still looking for the shooter at Brown University. It was a fat tub of lard, quite honestly. looks like it and he looks like he's white maybe because he could see the you know the base of the neck is you know pretty pasty but you know I don't know um can't see his face that's for sure can't see anything about how is it that we can't I mean really that that is the most observed campus I think of all campuses is Brown University and this is as good as it gets really it's bizarre that in 2025, we can have cameras everywhere.
Starting point is 01:09:43 So we can be monitored when we're just doing our general lives. But if we need to see the face of a criminal, we can never get a clear shot of them. Never. We can never see any detail on their face. It's always blurry. These cameras, you can get all 70 zillion pixels can't capture anything of value. I mean, it does seem like you don't have to worry about, you know, the big deep state. All you have to have is like a black hoodie and a ball cap.
Starting point is 01:10:13 And they'll never find you. They'll never find you. Well, luckily, we didn't create an entire culture where it's okay to wear surgical masks all over the place because that hasn't caused any problems at all. Right. No problems whatsoever. No problems whatsoever. Jason is joining us, our chief researcher. Jason, do we have anything on the murder of the MIT physicist?
Starting point is 01:10:37 very very strange not hardly any information at all except surprise surprise there's no suspects we're not being told any any motives i mean it's mirroring that's what's so eerie it's it's mirroring the brown thing even though in the brown shooting we have a whole lot more information did you see yesterday the fbi released like kind of like a tic-tok version of CCTV cameras where they show the alleged shooter walking around And include, and some of them, and a lot of, there's, there's speculation, going crazy online right now, people talking about who it could be. Yeah, be really careful.
Starting point is 01:11:18 Don't get involved in any of that, please. Yeah, not going to, yeah, not going to do it. The thing that's kind of infuriating about it, though, is that on that, you know, release from the FBI, they show the alleged shooter walking in front of police cars, first responders. I know. There's got to be dash cam footage, but we're, They didn't show any of that. He's just walking right past him.
Starting point is 01:11:42 So I suspect that they probably know more. They're just not giving out because that information out because it's an active ongoing investigation. But in the meantime, you're going to get that wild speculation. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem, you know, you could say he looks like a big fat tub of lard, but so does 80% of men in America. So you're not narrowing it down. Yeah. He just got a big pot belly and just looks like a.
Starting point is 01:12:07 tubelard. I tell you, Glenn, I'm never going to criticize the Superman disguise ever again. Because apparently that's all you need. It's just some glasses or a hat. We always thought that like there's no way Clark Kent, they didn't know that Clark Kent was Superman. He put on glasses. That's it. Accurate. Yep. Apparently that works. Apparently that absolutely fools everybody. It's stupid. Crazy. So we don't, I mean, we don't, other than the timing, There's nothing that ties these two together, right? MIT and Brown. I don't think so.
Starting point is 01:12:42 Not that I've seen. So, you know, this is, this is, be careful on speculation. If you think you know something, call the FBI. Don't, you don't need to post it. Call the FBI. But it's, you know, you have to be really careful. You know, some of the things that have come out now that, you know, are all kinds of conspiracies is that they knew.
Starting point is 01:13:07 that they knew this guy, you know, when he was shooting in Utah, they knew it was a plan and it was a bigger plan and blah, la la, la. And then they never, then they never followed up on any of that stuff. No, here's what they knew at the time. Hey, this might be bigger than just the one shooter. We don't know. We have no idea. So in case it is, what should we look for and what should we do to prepare? Number one, is there, are there any other hosts that are, you know, Charlie Kirk's size that, you know, might be around the area within, I think about an hour of Charlie Kirk, maybe two hours. We got a call. The FBI was concerned because I was two hours away. And the guy could have easily hopped on the freeway and just gone up into Idaho and, you know, found me.
Starting point is 01:14:00 So they alerted, hey, just be aware, we don't, we don't know, we have no idea, we just want to take extra caution, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And we also think that anybody, you know, Megan and Tucker were on this list as well as me and, you know, reach out to everybody, let everybody know. Yes, so we took precautions. I had a, I hired police to sit outside of my house for a week until they caught the guy until we knew that was the only thing that was going on. it doesn't there's a lot of things i don't know if you notice this a lot of people want to shoot people right now for some reason or another uh i don't know what it is there might be one in rhode island and yes one right in the next state of massachusetts might be two different guys no connection at all just until they find these guys just be careful just be careful
Starting point is 01:14:50 but that doesn't mean it's some grand conspiracy not everything is a conspiracy or is that what they want us to believe? That's the real question. By the way, we haven't mentioned the stabbing of the Bellevue officer just outside of Seattle. A guy made a bogus 911 call, sent a officer or two. Two officers arrive. They speak with the guy. Did you make the 911 call?
Starting point is 01:15:22 Yeah. He stabbed the officer. It was not a, I mean, what is happening? What is happening? The acid attack that happened in Savannah, in Forsyth Park just recently. I mean, I don't want to racially profile here, but I know one culture that likes to throw, you know, acid on women's faces. That doesn't mean they're the only ones that do, but, I mean, that's kind of a thing over in the Middle East, I guess. You know, if you have somebody who is just too sexy, just too sexy, their eyes.
Starting point is 01:15:56 aren't completely covered. Well, we've got to throw some acid on them to disfigure him. So that'll teach them. That'll teach him. My gosh, the things that are going on. And then I want to ask, Stu, Jason, here's headline. Emails detail how Joe Biden's DOJ bold over FBI concerns in raid of Donald Trump's Florida home.
Starting point is 01:16:23 Apparently, the DOJ was saying, you can't raid the Marlago home. you don't, you know, there's not probable cause, yada yada. He, let's have a reasonable conversation with him. His lawyers are saying that he can come in. Let's try to reach an accommodation. But nope, nope, they just went in guns of blazing and made that whole, you know, scene. Now here's the thing. I started reading the article and it is there's nothing new to me.
Starting point is 01:16:55 I mean, other than the actual facts of the case. now. This is what I suspected, but now they have the facts of the case. I mean, I stopped reading halfway through because I thought, nah, not going to make a difference. Nobody's going to go to jail for this. Nobody's going to, they're going to have these findings, and then they're going to say, take care of, we're looking deep into it. And nothing will happen.
Starting point is 01:17:25 I mean, this has got to start. Stop. What is the point of Pam Bondi's position if we don't start seeing some of these people go to jail? Is it just me? I mean, the frustration is certainly not just you. I mean, I guess in this particular case, what would be the argument for them going to jail? You know, that they just ignored some recommendations when they still had the power to do whatever they wanted? I mean, this is the problem with government power. Okay, how about fired? How about fired?
Starting point is 01:17:57 about being fired. Some of them might be gone already. I would hope the people that made decisions like that in the Trump administration are along there. Here's what I'd like to know. Here's all the people that were involved. Here's where they are today. I don't need to know. I just need to know in government, out of government.
Starting point is 01:18:15 You know what I mean? Fired, left on their own. I don't need to track them or anything else. I want to know what happened to these people. So they don't just go back into the system. You know, the same thing with the Hillary, Clinton, you know, Russia scandal. We now have memos.
Starting point is 01:18:32 Jason, how many shows did we do on Uranium 1? Oh, gosh. During that Clinton time. Yeah. And it was clear. I mean, clear. The evidence was there of what the Clintons were doing. Nothing is going to happen.
Starting point is 01:18:50 They have the memos now, you know, on how this, you know, the whole Clinton foundation was nothing but a front. and they know it. They knew it then. They know it now, but is anything going to happen? No. That's the biggest problem our government needs to solve. Go ahead, Jason. Just speaking from, you know, not a researcher, not someone that works for you, just a regular American, I would like to think that you just can't be the party in power at the time and decide that you want to try and throw your opponent in jail.
Starting point is 01:19:26 That just sounds like a crime was committed. It's a really low hurdle to clear. I'm going very basic here. You know, like that is when you say, why hasn't someone been arrested? Well, that just, it just sounds very obvious that someone should. But you point out a point to where, you know, a good point to where are there, do we have laws? There may be. There could be.
Starting point is 01:19:46 But I mean, I don't know. It just, I am so sick and tired of, like you say, Glenn, we all knew this was bogus. we all knew, and little drips of information would come out. Like, you remember the photo of Mar-Lago that they staged the classified, you know, air-quitted classified information out. That was apparently from the FBI agents that maybe were on board with doing this. But then clearly, from these new emails, there were another part of the FBI that were like, wait a minute, guys, we don't agree.
Starting point is 01:20:18 It said in those, we do not agree on the precedent for going in on this. We do not agree. So, but then the GOJ was apparently, no, we're doing it. So, yeah, I mean, like, you know, again, because I agree with you. The frustration is high. And the fact that they denied this the entire time and we now finally have evidence that this is the truth. That they weren't trying to resist getting involved in politics. They were doing the exact opposite.
Starting point is 01:20:43 They were doing this because they were rolling over the recommendations of their own people. I mean, the left would say, though, right, they would make the same argument about Trump and Tish James. right? Like they had prosecutors who didn't want to pursue these cases and they recommended not to. And then he put in a lawyer that would do it. Right. And I don't, the problem at the core of all of this is we used to be able to be above this, right? We used to be able to get above all of this stuff and not just target our political enemies. And we should really have restrictions on the power of these institutions to be able to do these things. But I don't know that we do. That's my concern. need people when they raise their hand to say they will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. We just need people who actually mean that. The reason why we didn't have this problem is because that the law was bigger than man. It was bigger than any one man. The Constitution was bigger. It was an idea. It was a goal that we're going to make a more perfect nation by following these things. We don't. How many people? I think I could fit them all in a Volkswagen.
Starting point is 01:21:52 How many people do we have serving in the FBI in, you know, in Washington, in Washington. How many of these people do we have that actually believe that anymore? It feels like, I mean, sure, it might be a, it might be a Volkswagen, you know, Vanagan or whatever. But there's not a lot. It just doesn't feel that way. And that's what we've lost. We didn't have to enforce these things. We didn't have to have the laws to say these things because people just had honor and integrity. And they believed in the Constitution.
Starting point is 01:22:30 We don't even teach it now. Why, how could you possibly believe in it? All right. More in a minute. Right around the holidays, we put a lot of care into the meals that we make. And if you're going to put that much heart into what you have on the table, you should know that the meat your cooking is actually coming from American farms. You know, they still do the things the right way.

If you know, you know,
Starting point is 01:23:47 and back. You've been watching Pluribus on Apple. Stu, you're watching it, aren't you? Yeah, I'm only two episodes in, though. But I do really like it so far. I mean, Ben skilled. Yeah, Tanya and I watched another two episodes in the last couple of days.
Starting point is 01:24:37 I think we're in episode four. It is, you said to me, you wondered if it was about AI, right? I wondered if it was sort of an analogy for AI, the dangers of AI. Did you get that at all in any sense? What do you think that danger would be? I've been looking, and I don't think so except maybe one warning. What do you think the warning would be?
Starting point is 01:25:00 What is the message then? Well, I mean, I'm only two episodes in, and I don't want to give any spoilers. Yeah, I know, I know. But there is a feeling that the main character has of, you know, all the world sort of losing its individuality. and how, you know, she's trying to suck her into this giant thing that she doesn't want to be part of. And I don't know. I feel like the resistance to AI has some similarities to that. So I've been thinking about it.
Starting point is 01:25:31 I don't think it is a story about machine thinking, as much as it is about people no longer thinking. The group doesn't think. They comply. They do it because it's easier. It's just better. It's more efficient. They're not thinking, not about machines thinking. It's more of a commentary on people, I think.
Starting point is 01:25:53 Pluribus, Apple, really good. Glenn Beck. Most of us think about safety and big, broad terms. We think about locks and lights and alarms, but the truth is when something goes wrong, it's often just you and the moment in front of you. And in that moment, you don't want options that don't, you want options that don't escalate the situation,
Starting point is 01:26:11 but give you control. And that's what a burner launcher does. It's not a firearm. It's a non-lethal self-defense tool that fires pepper and tear gas projectiles 60 feet away. It'll stop a threat long enough for you to get to safety. No permits, no background checks, legal in all 50 states. Now they have the burn a compact, which slips right into your bag or glove box. You put it in the small of your back.
Starting point is 01:26:35 It's really, really great, just as powerful as the standard launcher for people who don't ever, ever, ever want to feel helpless but don't want to carry a gun.

She's working in Target in Chico, California. And she was wearing a red shirt. Had the flag on the side, said Freedom and Charlie Kirk
Starting point is 01:28:22 underneath that. And another woman came in and just went nuts on her. I want to talk about that.

Starting point is 01:29:46 972 Patriot. All right. So let's play the the scene in Shiko, California, in a target of all places. Go ahead. Why? Do you let you wear that shirt here? Yes. Why? Why are you taking my picture?
Starting point is 01:30:06 Why are you wearing that shirt? You're working. It's not a Target shirt. I can wear any red shirt. It's not a plain shirt. It doesn't have to be a... To Charlie Kirk's shirt. Yes.
Starting point is 01:30:17 Oh, yes, I know. Are you fucking stupid? No. Why the fuck would you wear that? You're at work at Target. That's not a target shirt. It's not a plain red shirt. You support a racist.
Starting point is 01:30:30 It's not racist. You support a racist. He's not a racist. Yes, he is. Yes, he fucking is. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to stand here and argue with people. You're not. You should go get your manager.
Starting point is 01:30:42 You should not be allowed to wear the at work. Unacceptable. Unf-acceptable. That's your opinion. The opinion is he's a fucking racist and you support him. That's your opinion now. And you should not be allowed to wear that. This is going to be taken above your f***ah head.
Starting point is 01:30:59 That's insane. Insane. Hats off. Hats off to Jeannie for just being so cool about it. So I've gone back and forth whether to say the woman's name or tell you anything about her. But she's already done it on her Facebook page and everything else. I'm not going to give you all of the information. I'll just say, you know, I'm not going to give your name.
Starting point is 01:31:33 If you want to really find it, fine. You're saying the name of the woman who was kind of accosting the target employee? Kind of a costing, yeah. Well, I'm just that one. There's no physical contract. But yeah, okay. Yeah, I don't think the name is important. But I am, I was, I will say, interested in what this was, who she was.
Starting point is 01:31:52 Why was she doing this? Is she just an annoying liberal Karen? or is there more to it? So, so I can tell you this. People are calling for her dismissal letter job. And I don't want people fired. I mean, if I were her boss, I would see this and go, Karen, we can't have you working here. Not because I'm getting all kinds of pressure, because that's just not who we are.
Starting point is 01:32:18 We're just not that. Here's why. She is working at a nonprofit health care. system. And she has patient care roles. Now, I don't know what kind of patients, but if, what is she going to say to somebody who comes in and is wearing that shirt and she's a nurse? Is she going to do that? But I mean, nurses have to be filled with compassion. And I'm sorry, but there's no, there's no compassion here. The lady was minding her own business, doing her work. Hey, that's not a red shirt. It's not just a red shirt. No, I know it's Charlie Kirk's shirt.
Starting point is 01:33:01 Okay. Can I see your manager? That's what you do. That's what you do. There's no reason to accost her. There's no reason to film it and say, I'm going to go over your head. You're going to be sorry. And then post it. I mean, what kind of activist are you? What just, it's just, I hate this. I just hate this. so people have been raising money to send Jeannie on a well-deserved vacation at Gibbs & Go. And she's going to have a nice vacation where I'm trying to get a hold of her. I want to actually add to that a bit myself because I just thought she handled it so well. I just love her. But let me just let me just pause here on this woman.
Starting point is 01:33:58 How sad and tragic her life must be. She's posted this video. and then in another video, she's lashing out about her mother wanting to buy a Bible for her teenage son. She says he lives in a military house with two lesbians. Now, I don't know who that is because she's also done videos where she says she's married to a Mexican man. So I don't know if it's a woman who identifies as a man, but still is a lesbian. I have no idea what's going on. But, I mean, now you're going online to take.
Starting point is 01:34:33 on your mother about him, her wanting to give your son a Bible. I mean, how sad and pathetic is your life? And I don't mean pathetic as a pejorative to you. Just sad. It's really sad. I would love to raise her last name is Ponce. I would love to raise prayers for Madame Ponce. Because boy, oh boy.
Starting point is 01:35:05 Is she empty inside if that's all she has to do? So empty inside. I mean, it's so awful. I mean, this poor, you know, older woman who's just trying to do her job at Target and you're just harassing her over her shirt. And you listen to the conversation and there's a mistake made multiple times by both of them actually when she says, you know, he's a racist. And she says, no, he's not a racist. Actually, it would be was because he was brutally murdered by someone who probably. agrees with about a hundred percent of the stuff that liberal Karen said and is probably and seemingly
Starting point is 01:35:42 allegedly if you want to put it in legalistic terms someone who who was lockstep with the types of beliefs being presented to this poor woman at Target and he was murdered this is not just some normal you know conservative that you're just going to call a racist do you have any heart to think that this is a father that was just murdered in front thousands of people very recently. It's just insane. People really connected. I mean, it's, it's, it is insane.
Starting point is 01:36:11 It is insane. We've forgotten, and this kind of goes to what we were talking about a minute ago, about, um, Pluribus on Apple. And I want to get back to that here in a second. And it also goes to, you know, yesterday I told the story of the Christmas truce letter. I just,
Starting point is 01:36:27 I just purchased for the museum, the World War I Christmas truce letter. The letter from, a soldier saying, it was Christmas Eve, the Germans put up a tree and they were singing carols and we were seeing carols. And so we put up some candles on top of the trench. And they did it too. And one of us said, maybe we should just get up on top. And so four of these guys in kilts, they get up on top.
Starting point is 01:36:56 And they're not shot. And pretty soon they're like, we should walk over and just greet him. Merry Christmas. And the war ended for like 24 hours. There was no shooting. There was nothing. They didn't kill each other. In fact, in the end, they had to replace those troops that did this because they refused to shoot the other people because they had made friends.
Starting point is 01:37:13 And all that happened was they remembered that they were human. And that's what we're missing. We're missing that we are humans. By the way, this song is going to be put out on Apple Music on Saturday. You'll be able to get it on Apple Music. And it's getting quite the response. The comments on it are amazing. This is the song I debuted yesterday.
Starting point is 01:37:36 This is, you know, a torch history song that we are going to be doing some of these things. And we've got a lot of them. I've got about 12 of them I'm working on right now. But this is the first one that I wanted to give you a sneak peek on some of the things we're going to be doing at the museum and also at the torch to help people learn history in a new way. Here's this story of the Christmas truce letter and what really happened and what the real meaning of Christmas is all about. Somewhere on the Leaves River in the frost of four A weary German officer Riots home of what he's seen
Starting point is 01:38:44 Gifts from home in midnight Gingerbread and woolen thread Artillery still thunder counted up And just past Christmas morning Through the smoke in winter gray Came a shout from Scottish men Wishing us Christmas once again Met a scott with sicker
Starting point is 01:40:28 Mud met the fire Soon the trenches empty Men shook hands in no man's land Candles traded for cigar As they helped each other stand And said war was suspended The piece of Christmas had come Otters gifts in home
Starting point is 01:41:13 They sang silent night To fragile holy 26 Rattled he wrote As command reclaimed the men He confessed to his dear he it is hard to shoot them now. The heart says no,
Starting point is 01:42:45 this night. Soldiers. Welcome to the Lenbeck program. That is on the Christmas truth. A truce. It will be on Apple music. On Saturday, you'll be able to get it. We were human for a night.
Starting point is 01:43:59 Trying to remind us of our humanity. That is my goal. And we'll be something. Also trying to get us to go down the right kind of rabbit holes. If you don't know the Christmas truth story, just go down the rabbit hole on that story. It is fascinating. And the people that were involved in it and what they did and went on to do later, it's really an incredible story. And it also happened in 1862 in America during the Civil War. Did you know that? Go down the rabbit hole. Let me tell you about Z factor. The older I get,
Starting point is 01:44:33 the more I realize how much of my day is decided the night before. I hope you don't know what I mean by that. If you sleep well, everything feels possible. If you don't, it's like pushing a boulder uphill from the moment you wake up until the next night. And I'm guessing you do know exactly what that feels like, lying there, staring at the ceiling, wondering why your mind and your body just won't shut down. Just let me go to rest. Let me have sleep, please.
Starting point is 01:44:57 Z Factor was created by the makers of relief factor to fix all of that. It's a natural sleep supplement, not testosterone product.

Starting point is 01:46:44 We've done 12 already. And you know what? The idea came to me. Has anybody ever heard of Johnny Horton? I think it was named Johnny Horton. I remember him because when I was like 13 years old, I worked at a country music station. And I was awful. And there was this guy, Johnny Horton, and he did North to Alaska.
Starting point is 01:47:05 It was one of the songs. and it, I think it was in the 50s or 60s, and it'd become a big hit. And if my recollection is right, he was a history teacher. And he would teach his class about history. And that one was about the gold rush. And then he would put all the pertinent facts. So they would learn the story. And then he would sing the song to them.
Starting point is 01:47:24 And I've always loved that. I've always thought, what a great way to learn history. What kid would not want to learn history if your teacher was like that? Well, your teacher can't be like that. But we can be. We can be. And so we're going to be trying all kinds of different ways. And I'll let you know on this.

Starting point is 01:49:58 Sign up for the free email newsletter at glenbeck.com. Welcome to the program. Yesterday, Donald Trump put out on true social, I'll be giving an address to the nation Wednesday, live from the White House, 9 p.m. Eastern. I look forward to seeing you then. It's been a great year for the country, and the best is yet to come.
Starting point is 01:50:49 Now, there's speculation on what he's going to talk about. I think he's going to do just that. He's going to say, this is what we've accomplished in the first year, and this is what is coming. And if he is just doing the accomplishments, They are remarkable. They really are remarkable. No president has ever done what this president has done this fast.
Starting point is 01:51:09 I mean, he makes Barack Obama look like he was standing still. And that's saying something. It's just been overwhelming. And it'll be nice to have that record. But I don't think that's what, you know, I think people want more. Sorry, Mr. President.
Starting point is 01:51:27 They want more. They want more. And they want it faster. and they want it to affect their lives. Their lives. So I'm hoping that he is going to make some comment on the economy that is not like, hey, you know, really, it's better. You just don't know it yet.
Starting point is 01:51:44 We had that with Biden. It didn't work there. It's not going to work with you. I know there are some things that are advancing, but people are still struggling. And it's, you know, it's not going to work. So I hope that is not part of it. You know, I was reading about Nick Reiner, Rob Reiner's son.
Starting point is 01:52:04 Did you know that he was at with his dad, Conan O'Brien's party? Conan O'Brien had a big holiday party and Rob brought his son. And it was kind of like, well, okay. And he just said, look, I'm just worried about my son. I just want to keep him close. You know, his son has had deep problems. Gosh, when you see the look in his son's eye in these interviews that they did together when they were working together, he does not look stable. He does not look like a guy that you're like, oh, yeah, no, I feel comfortable around him. Is it just me? Because I see that. I'm like, mm-mm. And you feel bad for, you know, mom and dad, Reiner, who they love their son. They just don't know what to do. How many of us are in this, not in that situation, thank God. But how many of us has been in this situation where, you're really worried about your kid, but you just don't know what to do.
Starting point is 01:53:01 And you're just hoping for the best. You do your best, hoping they do their best, and it's all going to work out. And sometimes, unfortunately, like this one, it didn't. And they, he went to the holiday party and then apparently they have him on tape, you know, in the neighborhood, just kind of pacing back and forth, and then going into the house and stabbing mom and dad, then going back to a motel, and they caught him in the motel, and apparently it's just drenched in blood.
Starting point is 01:53:30 So it's clear he did it. It's clear he did it. It does seem that way. I will say, you know, when you, maybe it's because when you become a parent, you start to recognize that. Like, my kids are really good so far. That's awesome.
Starting point is 01:53:44 Who knows what they, I always tell us to my wife, like, yeah, they're great right now. Like, who knows what they turn into? You don't know. You don't have control over that. You don't. You really don't. No idea.
Starting point is 01:53:52 And, you know, I tend to have a lot more sympathy as the years. go on for parents in these situations. I think early on in my life it was a lot of like, oh, gosh, well, where are the parents? You know, how come they're not doing this? And you realize you can do a lot of things and you can try to build a great foundation for your kids and you can do, you can control as much as you can control and put as much good things into them as possible, but you can't control the outcome of it.
Starting point is 01:54:19 You just can't. And if you're in that situation, have sympathy for yourself because you can't control it. They're individuals, they're human beings. and if they decide to be idiots or horrible people or great people, like there's only so much of that that you can control. You know, and at first, you haven't really hit this yet, but when you get into the teenage years with the kids, oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:54:40 And girls are worse than boys, but it is so difficult. It is so difficult because they're saying things that just tear you apart, just tear you apart. And, you know, and they're going through things. You just, oh, it's just not this hard. It's not this hard. But at their age, it is that hard.
Starting point is 01:55:01 And, you know, I was talking to a friend, and he said, isn't God great? And my response was, shut up. Did you hear anything I said about what I'm going through right now? And I said, what he, what? And he said, your kids will never leave you. They would never leave you unless God put that insane. instinct in them. At the appropriate age, it's like a switch that goes on. And it's like everything mom and dad said is wrong. I don't need to be around them. I don't want to be around them.
Starting point is 01:55:37 You know, they're just, they're smothering me with everything. I want to go a different direction. He said, it's a switch that goes on and then it turns off again. And they come back and they're, they love you. He said, it's just this most amazing God trait that pushes the youth out of the house. And I thought, God is good. Otherwise, they'd be living with me forever. That's an interesting way of looking at it. I think it's true. It's the right way to look at it.
Starting point is 01:56:12 We've noticed this lately. We were discussing this pretty recently that we've noticed that God doesn't seem to run any of his plans by us in advance. Oh, that pisses me on. He doesn't text us. I don't need it. Look, look, I don't need you, God. I don't need you to run up. by for approval. I just like you to run them by so I know exactly what you're doing.
Starting point is 01:56:31 You know, can you just give me the heads up? Look, I'm going to set this place on fire over here. I'm going to let these people just start fires all over this part. But don't worry, I got it. I got it. I'm going to do this in the end. Just run that by me. It's run that by me. It make life so much easier. Yeah. Let's like, you know, give us a little bit of the screenplay before the movie comes out. You know what I mean? Like, we should at least be aware. A little, a little trailer that has a little bit of like, oh, looks like it might have a decent ending. Yeah, that's all we're looking for. They don't all die in space.
Starting point is 01:57:04 That's all I'm looking for. That's it. Speaking of space, have you seen the new trailer for disclosure? No. Stephen Spielberg, all kinds of conspiracy. What isn't a conspiracy right now? I could say chicken prices. And people go, you know, that's a conspiracy.
Starting point is 01:57:24 You know what chicken prices are? No, I didn't. Shock absorbers. You know, shock absorbers were designed first for use by the CIA. No, I didn't know. Stop, everything is a conspiracy. But this is an interesting one. Steven Spielberg was retired, not going to make any movie.
Starting point is 01:57:45 He comes out of retirement to make this movie about aliens. And aliens, its first contact. and why would he do that? Why would he come out of retirement to do that movie about aliens? They are preparing us. They are, they know. They know it's coming, and they needed Steven Spielberg to prepare our minds.
Starting point is 01:58:08 So we will accept aliens. And normally I would say, get a nap in today, please. But with as weird as everything has been, I'm not ruling anything out. The only thing I'm ruling out is that God, going to run his plans by me or you. That one I can rule out.
Starting point is 01:58:30 Aliens showing up? No, I can't rule that out. Can you? I mean, so with a theory is that Stephen Spielberg is prepping us essentially. Yeah, no, forget that part of the theory. The part that I say is, I mean, I ask Steve Dase, come to the show with some predictions, this last week's TV show. Come on a show.
Starting point is 01:58:53 You know what one of his predictions was? in the next year you will see a leader of a major country say that they have had an encounter with aliens and it will be the beginning of this slow reveal that aliens are either coming or whatever and I'm like wait what what what I mean that is so far on the edge and yet everything is a this is a problem everything is a sci up right now absolutely everything you see. Everything you see on lines feels like a sciop. Everything. Let me give you this. Susie Wiles. She's not this stupid. She's not this stupid. She, wait, what? So Susie Wiles goes out and gives it to vanity fair. And she's like,
Starting point is 01:59:42 you know what another thing? Trump's like an alcoholic. What? And then Donald Trump, who would normally go, what goes ah you know i kind of am like an alcoholic what what that was fair it's quite an interesting series of developments over the past 24 hours in that world and now the alcoholic thing i think in context was not not all that bad i think you can see what she was going for he's kind of said that before about himself like so that one but like she did kind of trash a bunch of different people in the administration in a in a 11 day 11 separate interviews with vanity fair 11 over a year they gave massive access to the cabinet was was this a book that was supposed to be held until 28 that's
Starting point is 02:00:38 interesting to say that that was the only thing I could come up with because if you don't if you didn't follow the story we should reset this because it kind of happened over the past 24 hours vanity fair has this has a reporter who famously does pieces, in-depth pieces on chiefs of staff in the White House, has done this for several other presidents in the past. And so, you know, this big respected thing. And it's possible, you know, maybe she was like just looking to, you know, to get some amazing, you know, historical profile of herself as one of the sane people in the White House. That's what the left seems to be speculating on. Who knows? But the, I couldn't see, just because of the way Trump is,
Starting point is 02:01:21 is with, he doesn't like leaks. He doesn't like people trashing his own people. He, this is not, he usually would get very angry at someone making such a stupid mistake in effort to give this material to a hard left outlet. It doesn't make any sense. So the one thing, one theory I thought might have had some validity was that this was proposed to her or presented to her as if it was a book that would come out after the term was over. Now, all these people, and this doesn't make sense.
Starting point is 02:01:51 And this doesn't make any sense to me because I don't care about your book that comes out after. I'm still not talking to you. But everybody inside of the D.C. Beltway does this. They all go to these authors and they all spill the beans for these books that come out in the aftermath. I don't know why. It's like a tradition in Washington. So maybe with the idea that this would come out after everything was over and then instead it wanted to be converted into some big vanity fair profile. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:02:17 It doesn't really make much sense. But that's the only theory that I can even think of that makes any sense. because none of it, otherwise none of it makes sense. Maybe Steven Spielberg and aliens are involved. I don't know. That could be it. That's the more likely scenario. I wouldn't rule it out.
Starting point is 02:02:31 I'm just saying, let me tell you about American financing. Most people don't realize how much mental space debt takes up until it's gone. You know, it kind of hums in the back of your head while you're working. It shows up when you're trying to relax. It turns, you know, every unexpected expense into a little shot of panic. I don't know. Can I have it before? Truth is, it's a lot of.
Starting point is 02:02:51 lot of pressure. And it's not because you're bad with money. It's because you're stuck in a system that makes it hard to see a way out. High interest payments, multiple payments, no clear strategy other than just hanging on, hang on, hang on. American financing exists for people who are ready to change all of that, not with quick fixes or gimmicks, but with a real plan, one that looks at your whole financial picture and figures out how to get you moving in the right direction again. When you consolidate debt, lower your interest or restructure what you're paying. You're not just saving money. You're buying a, you're buying back a piece of mind.

Never put your future in another man's saddlebag Or your lunch You never know where that thing's been More Glenn Becked In a Jiff I actually saw a Salvation Army
Starting point is 02:04:34 Santa It was not really a Santa It was just a guy dressed in red With jeans Anyway He was wearing a red sweatsher And he's ringing the bell And I saw some people stopping to give money
Starting point is 02:04:47 And I thought, wow, I haven't seen that yet. I haven't seen that yet. It's nice to see. People are struggling this year and know that we are praying for you. We're thinking about you. If you're not one of those families, would you consider helping the families that are in need? Mercury 1 is stepping into the gap for families who have lost everything or just cannot afford anything for Christmas. We have, especially where the hurricanes hit last year.
Starting point is 02:05:21 We're still trying to help those communities out. They're really struggling. If you can help, just go to mercury one.org. Mercury 1.org. Also, just market Christmas slash food because it'll be Christmas presents or food. And not just after the holidays. If we can raise enough money, not just for the holidays, but after. Because the soup kitchens and everybody is struggling.
Starting point is 02:05:45 They're way, way down on food in a lot of cities. And so we just want to make sure that we can get the food to the churches and everybody else that can distribute it to real families in need. Mercury1.org. That's Mercury1.org. As you know, going over some of the employment numbers that came out yesterday, you know, it's mixed because I think the headline was maybe worse than the most recent reality, which was this, you know, drop, big huge drop at October and jobs. A lot of that was just government jobs coming off the books. People who had, you know, had the early retirement type option that they got from Elon Musk coming off the book. So that's a big part of that. The other side of it is, though, we basically have added no jobs since April.
Starting point is 02:06:34 And part of that is the government stuff. But when you look at it down by sector, every sector outside basically of health care and some construction, we've lost jobs since April in every single sector, including manufacturing of being a big one. I'm sorry, Christmas elf, is that you? I'm bringing your holiday cheese. You just said everybody was struggling. I was bringing you some stats to support that. I think we know we don't need to know how bad it is.
Starting point is 02:07:02 And by the way, there's probably no reason to get up tomorrow. Because, I mean, that's my job. Can you not? I mean, I got that one covered. I land the plane on that darkness every day. day. I can land that plane in the dark. I thought it was the thing was you said something really depressing and then I brought in some stats to support your depressing outcome. I don't know. I'll have to work on it. It's only been 27 years. Hey, happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas. We'll see you tonight.
Starting point is 02:07:35 You don't want to miss the last TV show.
