The Glenn Beck Program - Desperate El-Sayed Supporters Go FULL Anti-Semite in New Ad | Guest: Tina Descovich | 10/27/26

Episode Date: October 27, 2026

Has there ever been a clearer choice in an election? With one week until the midterm elections, Glenn outlines what American voters are choosing between: freedom or DSA-supported fascism. President Tr...ump made waves during a recent speech in Michigan when he warned that if Democrats win, they’ll welcome “hordes of jihadis” into our country. Many critics quickly labeled this quote Islamophobic, but Glenn points out how it is rational to be fearful of radical Islam taking over our government. Glenn reacts to an anti-Semitic campaign ad in favor of Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D), his campaign denying involvement in the ad, and the glaring omission in the statement. Glenn discusses the ongoing slaughter of Christians in Nigeria by radical jihadist groups. Is Generation X the generation saving America from the fascist takeover? Glenn reveals numbers that support the idea that Generation X is keeping the American idea alive. Moms for Liberty co-founder and CEO Tina Descovich joins to discuss the launch of AWARE.

Starting point is 00:00:00 I've been telling you about Patriot Mobile for several years now, and many people have made the switch, and this is for the rest of people that haven't, if it's you, what are you waiting for? Every month you stay with one of the big carriers, your money is going to a company that doesn't share your values. For over 12 years, Patriot Mobile has put their money where their mouth is, and they've contributed millions to organizations defending the First and Second Amendments, the sanctity of life, and supporting our military and veterans and first responders. They're not just a wireless company. They are activists fighting on the front lines with us,

Well, we are one week away and America chooses. And this choice is, I have to tell you, I am beginning to look at this election differently. This is actually maybe the election that I've waited for for quite a while.
Starting point is 00:02:16 And let me explain that when we begin in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about the burner launcher. You know what the strangest thing is about a situation where your life is suddenly in danger? How ordinary the five minutes before it can be. You're carrying groceries, you're walking to your car, you're pumping gas. You're thinking about what to make for dinner and then something happens and the entire day changes. All of a sudden you're being confronted by another human being who means you or your family harm. That's why preparation has to happen on ordinary days.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Not after the trouble starts. You keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen? Why? Because you'd rather have it case something goes wrong. You hope you never need it. You keep a flashlight where you can find it. I haven't used a flashlight in my bedroom drawer for a while, but I know it's there in case things go wrong. This is the attitude that you need.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Burnup makes a less lethal launcher, and it is designed to give people another option when faced with a threat. The goal isn't to go looking for a fight. It's to create an opportunity to get away from one. The world isn't getting more predictable, and that's why more Americans are. choosing to be prepared. Be prepared. Burn up. B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Glenn. Get 10% off my bundle now,
Starting point is 00:03:26 B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Glenn. So yesterday my absentee ballot came in. My absentee ballot is here, and I got to vote. And I was looking down this and I thought, you know, this is perhaps the most important, I say this every time and I hate it. But it gets more and more true. It's the most important election of my lifetime. And it is probably the clearest one in my lifetime. And people are having a hard time, I don't know why I should vote. It's clear. It is so clear to me. By the way, it's hard to argue, if you look around the rest of the world, it's hard to argue where the world is going. Saturday, British Columbia, one of the most progressive places in North America, throughout its NDP government
Starting point is 00:04:18 and elected its first conservative majority since 1928. I mean, I can't believe. I grew up right south of British Columbia. And I got to tell you, that place is never. That's always been a liberal madness. I mean, now it's really liberal madness. But first conservative since 1928,
Starting point is 00:04:38 the premier called a snap election expecting to win bigger. He resigned that night. in France, after a week of teenagers, you know, burning cars in the streets, and then Marxists coming out, and everybody knowing the latest polls for Marine Le Pen are 35 to 37 percent for next year's presidential race and climbing. South America, Chile elected caste, Bolivia. After 20 years of socialist went center right, Honduras, Peru, Colombia, one after another. They're falling like dominoes. I wonder if getting rid of USAID. had anything to do with that. And yesterday, Brazil went the other way, or two days ago, they went the other way. Lulu won a fourth term, roughly 52 to 48. Now, the guy who lost, Flavio Balincero, says that he's taking it to the courts. He wants the courts to throw it out.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Even the New York Times says, what happened with the extending of the vote by Lulu, it's fishy. Doesn't mean it was thrown, but it should at least be looked at. Anyway, all over the West, people are watching their own streets while television says it's mostly peaceful and it's not. And they're seeing it. And they're starting to believe their eyes instead of the talking heads. Now, in America, I have been telling you for years, for years, Marxists and Islamists are working their way into the Democratic Party. and for years they denied it. What's amazing is they don't deny it anymore. In fact, they've printed it.
Starting point is 00:06:15 This summer, the Democratic Socialists of America, released their 2026 platform, not a rumor, not a leak, not a conspiracy, their own document and published it online. You can go see it. What are they asking for? To abolish the Senate, Democrats, is that you? Is that really? Is that you?
Starting point is 00:06:35 fold Congress into one bigger chamber and abolish the electoral college. Replace the president and the Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress. Their stated goal is a new constitution. Democrats. Is that what you want? Now you can say, well, they're just fringe. They're not fringe. They are not fringe anymore. I mean, how many excuses? First, they aren't saying that. That's not who they are. Then they are in the party. Look, they're winning all these elections. Look, they just wrote this stuff down. A new constitution is what they're after and an overthrow of our system. And now you're saying, well, they're just fringe. You're going to run out of excuses. And I hope you run out of them fairly soon because they're gaining more and more power while you're making excuses. Their co-chair went on television and confirmed it. item by item. Abolish the state? Yes. Or sorry, the Senate? Yes. Replace the presidency and the court? Yes. Abolish ICE? Absolutely. Open borders? Yes, it's a long-term plan. One room. No Senate to say, hold on. No president to veto.
Starting point is 00:07:54 No court that answers to anyone but the room. Whoever wins the room wins everything, including the power to pick judges who are supposed to judge the room. Now listen to the mainstream media and listen to the mainstream of the party. So Eric Swalwell says if Democrats take the House, they'll go after universities, entertainment companies, and law firms that cut deals with this administration. He says, and he's not alone, accountability is coming. And he and Slotkin hope it deters people. Susan Ryan promises accountability for anyone who took the knee. The House Democratic leader reminds everyone the statute of limitations is five years. So if somebody committed a crime, I want you to prosecute it. If anyone in the Trump administration actually committed a crime, I want it punished. I want the
Starting point is 00:09:01 elected people to be held accountable. But punishing a company for working with an elected government is not accountability. It's a note to every business in America. Next time, you better pick the right side. It's fear tactic. It's what Marxists do. And outside the Capitol, people are planning. We know this. We have them on tape saying it. Activists have published calls for a national council of former governors, former military officers and organizers, all done by some of the former heads of USAID, the agency that was the head of color revolutions all around the world, and their playbooks are telling people with military ties how to slow walk orders
Starting point is 00:09:52 and tell blue state governors to get their guard out first. Now, they say this is going to be nonviolent, but they also said that about BLM and France. So, but if you look at the shape of it, politicians at the top, radicals at the bottom, people inside with the uniform, top down, bottom up, inside out. Then there's a future itself. Bernie Sanders, uh, Bernie Sanders and AOC won a national moratorium on AI data centers. New York already passed one, and it's popular.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Some Republicans are running on this one too because nobody wants a bigger power bill or hum outside their bedroom window. and those are real complaints. But the answer to a real complaint is make them bring their own power and pay their own way, not stop building while China keeps pouring concrete. Now, one vision says American economy should grow and lead for another century. That is the conservative vision. The other degrowth.
Starting point is 00:10:58 The West had its turn and should manage its own decline. Degrowth. Stop making more energy. Stop all progress. on any technology. I have to tell you, this is the election I've waited for in many ways. I wish the Republicans were better at, I don't know, even having an opinion on stuff. But the choice has never been clearer.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Even if you say the Republicans, I mean, look, not every Republican is a good guy, not every Democrat is a bad guy. And there are millions of Democrats that I think love this country. And it's unfair to paint a party on either side with one brush. A lot of good people. But the Democratic Party has a direction. One is moving fast towards Marxism and globalism, and the other one isn't. You know, I wish the Republicans stood for something,
Starting point is 00:12:04 because I don't know what they stand for. Okay? There's just simply against the left, and that's not enough. That's not enough. I know what the president stands for. I happen to agree with the president, and you may not. But he's at least moving.
Starting point is 00:12:17 moving us towards a future of growth. And you have to have vision. He has it. He unfortunately doesn't have anybody in the White House who can articulate it and actually put the story out so people can understand it. And the Republicans do nothing. And so they don't really have a vision. But I have to tell you, standing still or marching towards socialism, Marxism, and a
Starting point is 00:12:46 unicameral system and a new constitution, I'll stand still every day. You know, the Marxists, whatever else you want to say about them, they at least know what they want. They wrote it down and they're fighting for something. What are we fighting for? Because I don't want to go back to the Reagan years. We had our problems in the Reagan years. I guess I'm fighting for a time where equality means something. It doesn't mean equality to this person, but not for you. I want to go back to a place where we can still disagree and still be friends and countrymen. I mean, there's a lot to fix in the country, but if we don't fix that, you know, my dad used to say, I disagree with that guy so hard, but I'll fight for his
Starting point is 00:13:43 right to believe it and say it every time. I'll fight and die for it. He could say that because we stood on the same foundation, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. we argued about the road, not the destination. A country can survive any argument about how to get there, but it can't survive an argument about whether or not to go there. That ship sailed long ago. Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, declaration, constitution, Bill of Rights, that used to bind us.
Starting point is 00:14:19 It doesn't anymore. Now, I know there are Democrats within the sound of my voice right now that still believe in those documents, as written. I just don't know who they are because they're quiet about it. I know the DSA doesn't believe in. They've said so. They want to get rid of those things.
Starting point is 00:14:41 So I think this is so clear as an election, I just don't know. If you want to save the Republic, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the free market, knowing that all of those things are flawed, it's a total mess. We have a lot of work that we have to do. But if you want to save those things, you must vote. clear who you vote for. And if you believe what the DSA wrote, one chamber, new courts, new constitution,
Starting point is 00:15:10 then this is your election too. Vote. Put your name on it. Honestly, this is the argument. The argument has been hiding behind soft words for so long. This is the argument I've wanted to have for so long. But they would never come out. Never come out and say it. They would always just be hiding behind.
Starting point is 00:15:30 That's not what we mean. That's how we love a constitution. Well, now we know because it's on their page. Put both visions on the ballot and let American decide out in the open. The thing I don't know about America is do enough Americans believe they mean the DSA and the Islamist, do they believe they actually mean what they say? Because it's hard because most of the of them have spent 20 years saying, that's not what we want, that's not who we are, you misunderstand. It was right there. You just had to know what they were saying in their conferences and behind the scenes, but it was right there. But now it's clear on their own website. They're saying it on television. Are there enough Democrats anymore that don't
Starting point is 00:16:26 believe in that stuff? Are there enough Democrats? Do you want that? Do you want a new constitution? and end to the free market? I don't. I don't. But if you can't see the direction that it's headed now, with it printed on their own website, what will it take? What will it take? Does it matter if America becomes a socialist country anymore? Because a lot of people say, no, I do.
Starting point is 00:16:57 I think it matters a lot. Does it matter if what you see in Paris is showing up in your neighborhood on your streets? Because I think it does. And that's Marxist and is. Islamists and there's no doubt about it anymore. Even the French government is saying that. Does it matter if the American experiment goes on? Or is it just time to try something new? Because this doesn't work. And so we're not really going to try something new. We're going to try something that has failed over and over again. But those are the questions on the ballot.
Starting point is 00:17:31 And when it's over, I just want an honest count. I just want a fair honest count. That's all I want. I don't really care who wins or loses. I mean, I do, but if it's an honest count, I can live with it. Because if it's an honest count, the next day I can get up and go, wow, we got kicked
Starting point is 00:17:51 in the teeth. And I'll go back and make the argument and try to figure out a better way to convince people. That's what Americans have always done. If your side loses, I hope that you'll do the same. If my side loses, I hope we do the same.
Starting point is 00:18:13 But today is the day we have to make the commitment and say, I'm going to go vote. I'm going to go vote. I'm going to drive a neighbor. You have to do everything you can. And then God will take care of the rest. But you are required to do everything you can. Have you called your kids and asked them if they have a plan to go voting? Because America chooses next Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:18:39 More in a minute. A lot of things that make America work are not fun to watch. television crews don't follow ranchers at five in the morning and he's checking the fences. Nobody hangs out for trophies to be delivered around feeding time. But that really is the work behind our food on our table. And it takes people willing to do the hard things in every kind of weather. And that's one reason I appreciate good ranchers. They deliver American race meat right to your door.
Starting point is 00:19:06 You can put good food on your family's table while supporting the people raising it right here in America. So next time you sit down to dinner, consider how many hands did it take to get your food right there. Ask your kids. They have no idea. For a limited time, you can get $50 off your first Good Ranchers order.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Plus, when you start a plan, you're going to get free meat with every order. That means you can build a box, your own box, starting as low at $129. Visit Good Ranchers.com slash Beck. Get $50 off anything on their site. And make sure you let them know that I sent you. It's good ranchers.com slash Beck.
Starting point is 00:19:39 $50 off Good Ranchers.com slash Beck. American Meat delivered. 10 seconds, station ID. Hey, we are doing a special after show tomorrow right after this program. We'll tell you more about it, but you don't want to miss this one. This is a real inside, inside look at what's happening. You want behind the scenes? This is a inside look behind the scenes.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Tomorrow, we'll tell you more about that coming up in just a little bit. Jason, let me bring you in. Do you look at this election the same way as, I've been looking at it here. I mean, I was thinking about it last night, and I was like, you know, this is the election I've wanted. I want the clear choice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:36 I would like the clear choice. I'm very alarmed at the people that seem to be making the clear choice in the other direction. If that makes sense. I think it could, I mean, you asked some good questions there and made some good statements. You said, this is not fringe anymore. And are there enough Democrats that don't believe that that kind of? kind of stuff, what the DSA is planning. The problem is so many, what would maybe used to be considered in the middle Democrats seem to be going the direction of radicalism. And I don't
Starting point is 00:21:08 know if you saw just, I think it was yesterday, Town Hall had an undercover video of Gavin Newsom. And Gavin Newsom was saying that basically the DSA is going to be the dominant force within the Democratic Party. I know. Is there any Democrat that happens to be listening? to us right now that has has seen this and gone, okay, I can't, I just can't do that. I still don't necessarily like the Republicans, et cetera, et cetera, but I can't go where they're going. Are there those Democrats? I have not met one yet, but I'm hoping that there are. I'm hoping that there are a lot of Democrats, especially up in Michigan, that are like, I can't do that. I don't want to vote for Mike Rogers, but I'm going to vote for Mike Rogers because I can't
Starting point is 00:21:56 Can't do that. That's a no-go zone for me. Do those people exist? If you do, please call 8-8-8-7-27-B-E-C-K. I'm not going to try to change your mind or I won't give you any crap or anything like that. I just want to hear your story on, you know, what you're actually seeing and what it does it take to, you know, because it's in their own words now. What does it take to have fellow Democrats go, yeah, I see this too. Not the direction I want to go. Does that, Attitude even exists. 888 727 B.E.C. We are going to Nigeria next.
Starting point is 00:22:33 All right. Let me tell you about the type of phone call that starts happening when your parents get older. Starts with a simple question or two. 20 minutes later, you're reading a letter about Medicare and trying to decipher a sentence that, you know, has been written by six different lawyers. You want to help, but you don't want to give your mom and dad the wrong advice either. And this is where chapter comes in and can make a huge difference. They are licensed Medicare advisors and they help compare plans and options based on things that actually matter. Doctors, prescriptions, coverage, cost, and they're not paid to push one particular plan.
Starting point is 00:23:10 And that's the key. They're the only ones that do this. And there's no cost to get their help. Demand's been really high for the open enrollment season. So there may be a wait to speak with an advisor. November can be a smart time to call. That's just next week. but before the final rush towards December 7th deadline, call them. 8 to 9 a.m. Eastern, also a good window to try.
Starting point is 00:23:31 The call is free. It takes about 20 minutes, dial pound 250 and say the keyword chapter. It's pound 250 keyword chapter. Act now before you're left overpaying for the wrong coverage for another year. Do it. Pound 250 keyword chapter. Tomorrow, right after radio, a listening party with Glenn and Cheyenne as they debut a new Christmas album and Glenn's singing voice. You have to hear it to believe it.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Join to get access at glenbeck.com slash torch. I want to take Brandon quickly. I got to get to Nigeria. There's something important that I want to talk to you about. But I want to take Brandon, who's calling from Michigan. Hello, Brandon. You are a Democrat? I am an independent.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Okay. But I have a conservative independent, if that makes sense. Okay. So, but I can't, with my members of my past family, what they fought for in wars, I can't let somebody like El-Said win office. So like I haven't voted for Rogers before, but I need to on this one. And do what? Coming from, go ahead. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:25:07 No, go. Coming from the metro Detroit area and work and being a former employee of the city of Detroit, and seeing what's happened in Deerborn and Hamtramick and those areas and the influx of that population and how they're taking over and imparting their ideologies. So we can't let that happen. Do you know many people like you? Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. Really?
Starting point is 00:25:33 Yes. That would have been likely to vote for a Democrat? Yes, that would have been likely to vote for a Democrat, but because of who he is, they can't vote for him or won't vote for him. Wow. So what's your take on the polls? Do you think he's, you know, three to seven points ahead? I don't think so because if you look at how they're polling people, they're asking,
Starting point is 00:25:58 they're pulling a very small group and a small number of people, and it's the people from areas they know they're going to get the hits they want. Well, it'll be interesting to see next week. Go out and vote, Brandon. Thank you so much. Thank you for having my call. You bet, you bet. Let me go to Chris and for JJ in Michigan.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Sorry, let me go to JJ in Michigan. Go ahead, JJ. Howdy Glenn? How are you? Good. How are you? I'm doing all right, thanks. What would you like to know? I'm a Democrat Michigan business owner. So how are you viewing this race?
Starting point is 00:26:41 and I mean, are you for, are you a Democrat? Like, I used to grow up knowing Democrats. Are you a Democratic socialist? Where are you? No, I'm an old-school Democrat. I consider myself a Bill Clinton kind of a guy. Okay, all right. And how are you going to vote in Michigan?
Starting point is 00:27:05 To be honest with you, I don't know. I think the problem that I see here in Michigan, with business owners, especially, that have lean Democrat their whole lives, is that we kind of feel disenfranchised. Why? Definitely not a Mike Rogers fan. Yeah. You know, it's just, it's gotten to be so expensive to do business here. It's not, I don't think, one side or the other.
Starting point is 00:27:39 It's just, it's gotten super expensive. here to do business and it's very hard for younger generation. Housing's unaffordable. Food's unaffordable. I think we have probably top 10 highest gas prices in the nation currently. So everything's just unaffordable. Definitely not. Isn't that what El Saeed is? I mean, that's his main thing. It's unaffordable. I'm going to make it affordable. I mean, I have some oceanfront property in Arizona that I can sell you too. And why do you say that? I just don't believe it.
Starting point is 00:28:22 I don't believe much of anything anymore in politics, but I don't believe that one bit. I mean, all the stuff that you, see, I gave it a chance, looked it up, you know, did a little bit of research on him specifically, thinking, okay, maybe this could be a thing. And I don't agree with a lot of his stances when you start looking into things, you know, they're all chameleons, though.
Starting point is 00:28:48 And that's just it makes life hard for the average person. I know. I know. That's why I kind of said, you know, at least one side is being more honest than usual, you know. I think they both are chameleons a lot of times. You just have to, I don't know, who do I trust? Nobody is the answer. I don't trust anybody.
Starting point is 00:29:07 But this time, at least the DSA and some of the Islamists, are not coming out and saying it, but you can see, like El Saeed just did an interview with a guy who has been praising Hamas, and, you know, a guy who said we should send the Jews back to Poland. I mean, it's pretty crazy. It's pretty crazy. They're still kind of hiding some of that stuff, but they're saying it openly in their own mosques. But the DSA is out, so they're not being chameleons. And I actually appreciate that. I mean, I don't agree with any of it, but I appreciate that they're saying,
Starting point is 00:29:45 yeah, this is what we believe. This is what we're going to do. I just don't know. Do you know many Democrats or people like you that are now waking up to that who say, no, I don't want to get rid of the Constitution? Oh, yeah, 100%. I think that there's, I think there's a, I don't want to call it a silent majority, but there's a silent group of people that I think are like myself that, you know, we just don't speak out because we, We just, you know, it's, that's scary. That's scary. You're afraid of reprisal.
Starting point is 00:30:27 That's right. Yeah, I just, for me, you know, being, again, being a business owner, anywhere in the United States at this point, it's hard. And a lot of that is we can't, you know, nobody really needs to know my political views or opinions at the end of the day. Like, nobody cares. I mean, we're all just people. We're trying to live.
Starting point is 00:30:50 but it's just one of the things that I read not too long ago and I believe and I won't mention the author's name but it's a quote and you might know what it is but there's a quote that I read not too long ago that I repeat quite often to friends and family and coworkers that it takes a lifetime to build something up and it takes a life. 30 seconds to tear it down with social media. Yep. Yep. And so you have to be ultra careful and ultra conscious of what you say and who you say things to. And, you know, just it's no fun anymore. But, you know, going back to how I vote, you know, it's, I'm old school. You know, grew up in a union house. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Just a Bill Clinton guy. Yeah. nuts and bolts, you know. So are you considering John James for governor? Uh, yes. Not, you know, wouldn't be my choice by far. But the things that's, yeah, just it's hard. There is no good choice in my opinion.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Yeah. Yeah, that's the hardest thing. When you're looking at two people and you're like, I can't do that and I don't really want to do that. It's hard to do the, I don't want to do that. But, I mean, unfortunately at this point, it is either or. And you can't sit it out because whatever you don't want, if you're like very clear, I don't want that.
Starting point is 00:32:43 You can't sit out. You've got to stand against it. At least that's the way I feel. I don't know about you. I do too. Yeah. So for sure, I'm a person. and I'll just speak for myself again, like, you know, there is no choice anymore.
Starting point is 00:32:59 You're voting against something rather than for something. And that's been the case for a long time. And so, you know, we're all told we have a choice. It's the old libertarian adage, right? So you're told you have a choice. You know, you can pick who you want for president. Well, you're going to vote for this person that the party puts up and puts the money behind. And there's the amount of ads in Michigan right now,
Starting point is 00:33:24 just for the Senate race. It's astronomical. How do you think this is going to come out? I'm watching the ads here in Texas, and it's insane, but I don't see a lot of, I don't see a lot of Paxton stuff. I don't see a lot of Paxon. I see a lot of anti-Paxton coming from Tala Rico,
Starting point is 00:33:41 but I don't see it the other way. How do you think this race is going to come out in Michigan? What's your guess? It's going to be close. I think it's going to be real close. You know, I think it's going to be, There's a third-party candidate that's gaining a little bit of traction here that you're starting to see on social media. But I think it's going to be very, very close.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Michigan's, you know, very divided state. And, you know, there's just there's a lot of working class, you know, a lot of, you know, union. Right. A lot of... But a lot of Democrats, like Detroit, full of union and full of Democrats, a lot of black that they're not voting for El Saeed, I've heard. Is that true? I mean, that's the rumor, but you never know until they up or, you know, a day or two after. So it could be true, but I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:47 I mean, I don't know. And I try, again, I'm not a person who talks politics very regularly. I'm not a guy that's going to walk into somewhere and start talking about politics or who believes in what. Like, you know, that's, we all have the right to believe in what we want. It makes us a greatest country on earth. So, you know, I just, in my opinion, I feel like we're being, you know, things are just going the wrong direction right now. Right. Thank you so much, JJ.
Starting point is 00:35:21 I appreciate it. JJ up in Michigan. I'm going to go to California. If I have time, there's some other things that other people that are calling in from around the country. I'd love to talk to you today. I've got to get to this Nigeria thing. It'll have to be next hour, but it's really important that we talk about that. And also Barack Obama on the campaign trail.
Starting point is 00:35:44 We have to talk about that as well. All of it coming up in just a second. First, let me tell you about American financing. When it comes to your financing, it is really easy these days to find yourself alternating back and forth between being above water and being beneath it. Between high interest payments like credit cards and all the other things that demand money from you every single month, getting ahead may feel like something you're never going to do. But there is an asset that is worth understanding, especially if high interest debt is putting pressure on your monthly budget. It's equity.
Starting point is 00:36:15 I want to emphasize this. If you have a great low-rate mortgage, you don't have to assume that you have to give it up. It doesn't have to happen. That's a horrible place to start a conversation is, hey, I got a great loan. Let's reset it. Don't do that.
Starting point is 00:36:33 American financing can help homeowners explore all of the options, including home equity solutions that will let you keep your existing mortgage, which is key. The right answer depends on your finances, your goals, the costs that are involved. Borrowing against your home is a serious decision, but so is continuing to pay all that high interest debt on credit cards
Starting point is 00:36:54 and find out what your options are, okay? If you have spent years building equity, they may be able to help you. It's worth asking about 800-906 2440, 800-906 2440. It's Americanfinancing.net. NMLS-182334, NMLS Consumer Access.org. Average savings based on borrowers who is available for $199999.
Starting point is 00:37:15 If you believe the truth still matters, you're in the right place. Glenn Beck will be right back. Truth is under attack in our culture. People are embracing lies about gender. They're rejecting the sanctity of every human life. And the government is even punishing people for saying what's true and right. Or worse, the woke mob is doxing them and slandering them with no due process. Just an angry mob making their lives miserable or worse, putting families in real danger.
Starting point is 00:37:54 the biblical principles on which our country was founded still matter. Real patriots and Christians are beginning to stand up. They're showing real courage without a safety net of a big bank account. They're bolstered only by the truths that are self-evident. But these people must be defended. Alliance defending freedom is on the front lines of this fight, and they're standing in courtrooms across the country upholding truth, and your right to speak it.

Real quick, JJ, I think what JJ was trying to say is it's always the lesser of two evils that we vote for. But more importantly, I am a Democrat, live in Calumian. communist California and oh yeah it's bad man I'm nine dollar diesel you're talking about diesel my car gets 60 miles a gallon my diesel car and it still hurts but but anyway um to my point my
Starting point is 00:39:15 my 23 year old daughter who's of course always on the web and social media it took two weeks for me to get her to vote um and i didn't tell her how to vote but but she asked questions and and but it took two weeks. I mean, I really had to push the subject. So what was her, what was her objection to voting? It doesn't make a difference or what? Yes. Doesn't matter. It's rigged. And how did you get her to vote? I told her, you know, it was, I kind of pushed the, I don't ask you for very much. And then it was, you know, your grandfather served in the military. Many people died. And then what really did it was there was a local radio station was talking about Javier Vassero. who lost 300,000 kids, you know, the illegal kids. Yeah, yeah. Okay, well, he wants to be the governor, and she asked me about that, and then that's when got her to vote. And I said, hey, look, if you have any questions about the propositions,
Starting point is 00:40:16 I'll explain them to you. Good for you. What a good doubt. But you have to vote. I said, people died for this right. I know it's always a lesser two evils, but if you don't vote, you can't bitch. So, no, so Nick. I have to ask you, you're a Democrat, you're living in California, but you started to say the communist California.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Yeah. So you're not with the DSA kind of stuff. No, I'm more of the John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, where, you know, the party left me. I didn't leave the party. Yeah, yeah. You know, every time us working class, I've been working class all my life since I was 13, either in the fields or doing what I do now. And every time the Democrats get power, oh, we got a tax to rich. We've got tax to rich.
Starting point is 00:41:06 And what happens? Everybody else's taxes go up and the rich find loopholes. And we Democrats see this now. We're like, dude, we're the ones getting taxed. Like this prop 40 that they want to pass this billionaire's tax here. Well, on page 26, it says that the government can amend that and adjust it accordingly. It's a back door. And so people are seeing that.
Starting point is 00:41:31 And that's kind of the thing. It's like, you know, they're both taking money from special interests. I mean, California hates big oil, but the Democrats take money from Chevron and everybody else and PG&E. And they all do it. So I've got about, I only have about 30 seconds. So help me out. Are there more Democrats like you that are just, are seeing that this is Marxism now with the DSA and you just don't want anything to do with it? they they do and but they also think that it's rigged okay they think it's rigged and i think
Starting point is 00:42:05 real quick i think what really hurts the republicans right now is president trump who i did vote for um but quickly he he lacks empathy with the with the iran uh fuel the fuel the high fuel prices are you know what i mean yeah i do it's a kitchen item it's food and fuel and that's the bottom line. He should come out there and say something about that. You're exactly right. Nick, thank you very much. Appreciate it.

And I want to explain, you know, there's rational fear and irrational fear. You know, rational fear would be. be, I'm Donald Trump. I'm afraid somebody is going to try to kill me up security. That's rational fear. Irrational fear is, I believe that space aliens are going to come down and kill me. No, he has a fear of being killed. One's irrational. Not that he ever said that. One would be irrational. And one is perfectly rational. He doesn't have a death phobia. He has rational fear. So I want to get into that here in just a second. We start with President Obama. But first,
Starting point is 00:45:41 you can have the nicest neighborhood in the world, but a locked door doesn't tell you what's happening when you're not home.

Starting point is 00:46:50 Okay. So let me take you back to last Sunday. The president was making some real waves during a speech. He was in Port Huron, I believe, in Michigan on Sunday. And he said something that he warned that if El Saeed and the Democrats win, they will open the floodgates and invite hordes of jihadis to our shores, creating a nightmare of violence and terror until you cannot even have Christmas. Okay, is that the way I would phrase?
Starting point is 00:47:19 No. But let's look at this for a second. If the Democrats win, they will open the floodgates. Does anybody, I mean, it is their intention to go back and open the borders again. They have set it. Get rid of ice. What will that in effect do? It will open our shores to jihadis. And creating a nightmare of violence and terror? Yeah, probably look at, I mean, we just had another attempt at a hijacking. What was that yesterday? I mean, we are in trouble. And thank God our FBI is on top of it. Our Department of Justice is on top of it. Now, you can't have a Christmas.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Okay. Again, not what I would have said. But is that a reach? Yes, is it too far of a reach? I don't think it is. If you know what the jihadis want. He called El-Said a jihadist Muslim Brotherhood member. Then he pointed to the Republican candidate, Mike Rogers, and said,
Starting point is 00:48:24 call him apple pie. He's like central casting. Okay. the New York Times wrote this article and all it said was Islamophobic stereotypes. Islamophobia, Islamophobia. Nine days from the election and their closing pitch is fear. And why do I say that? They say that Donald Trump is pitching fear.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Islamophobia. But let's define phobias. A phobia is an irrational fear. Keyword, irrational. If you're in constant fear of spiders, and there are no spiders in the room, you know, if you're afraid of cars but you're never around cars, those would be phobias. The word Islamophobia was built to do a single job to take any concern about anything connected to Islam and file it under an irrational mental defect. That's what it was. You're not wrong.
Starting point is 00:49:24 you're not mentally sick and your ideas have to be silenced and so that's the word they use but is it irrational to worry about a plan when people making plans are telling you it's their plan
Starting point is 00:49:41 Zaid Shakur he's one of the best known imams in America he told the New York Times he still hoped the United States would one day become a Muslim country ruled by Islamic law that's Sharia law.
Starting point is 00:49:56 Anybody who understands Sharia law, you should not be like, well, that's a neutral thing I'm okay with. No, it's evil. It is evil. That is the political system inside of Islam. Shiraz Waj, I think his name is, something like that.
Starting point is 00:50:15 It doesn't matter. I mean, you're expecting you get a name pronunciation from me. You're in the wrong business. Anyway, he's a fixture on the stage of the large, Muslim conventions in this country. He recently told an audience not to talk about Sharia yet.
Starting point is 00:50:33 I'm quoting, because we are not there yet. Notice the word yet. In Miami, in a mom on a Friday sermon, streamed live on Facebook, told his congregation that
Starting point is 00:50:48 we're not here to kill anybody. We want people to choose Sharia. No, no, over my dead body will we shoot. You cannot be a free people. I'm sorry, I don't want to be Iran. I don't want to be in Lebanon. I don't want to be in any place where Sharia law has been implemented.
Starting point is 00:51:09 It is oppressive, especially to women. Now, in the federal trial, the terror financing trial that happened in Dallas, prosecutors entered a Muslim Brotherhood strategy memo written for North America. I've shown it to you a million times that described the work here as eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within. That is a quote from the Muslim Brotherhood. This administration has designed three branches of the Brotherhood as terrorist organizations for backing Hamas. And it's not just here.
Starting point is 00:51:48 Britain has Sharia councils ruling on marriage and divorce. Its own government review found practices discriminate against women. Do you think so? Noticing that Islam invites horrific treatment of women is not Islamophobic. To notice that Sharia law requires you to kill a homosexual is not Islamophobic. To be worried when an imam around the West, preach about an Islamic takeover, that's not an irrational fear. It'd be crazy to pretend not to see it.
Starting point is 00:52:28 If you had Nazis living on your street and they were running and they were gaining more power and they were infiltrating our government, would it be irrational to say, hey, the Nazis have a plan, they're stating it in their meetings and they're infiltrating our government. And this is what they say, we're not going to be a Nazi government yet. it would not be irrational. So many people are afraid to be called an Islamophob. All you need to know is the definition of phobia. We have to be consistent.
Starting point is 00:53:06 I reject Islamists because that's a political project. The belief that religious law should sit above the law and the rule of law for everyone. I'm not for. I'm not for it from my church, your church. a synagogue or a mosque. No. America, you are free to practice the faith of Islam, Catholicism, Mormonism, Baptist, whatever, and live in peace. But this is not the same thing. Millions of Muslims know it, and they know it better than you do because of where they came from to get away from it. And now they begged us.
Starting point is 00:53:50 The Muslim community begged us to stop the Muslim brotherhood from coming in. We didn't do it. We didn't want to be Islamophobic. Now they're silent because they know who's in charge. You know, a woman who fled Iran doesn't need a lecture on Sharia law. She has the scars. Dr. Zudi Jasser, who's running for Congress. And I, man, if I lived in Arizona, I'd vote for him as often as I possible.
Starting point is 00:54:17 good, which is once. He has spent years fighting the Islamists inside of his own community, and they hate him for it. He doesn't have a irrational fear. It's a rational fear of an ideology.
Starting point is 00:54:34 That's your duty. Now, hostility towards your neighbor because of how he prays, that is discrimination. And the moment you confuse the two, you hand the Islamist exactly what he needs. His whole recruiting pitch for a young American Muslim is that America hates him
Starting point is 00:54:54 and will never accept him. I will accept. I accepted Barack Obama as president of the United States. He was my... It's a joke. But every time one of us treats the neighbor like the enemy, we write that recruiter's next sermon for him. So let me go back to Michigan. Are there fair questions about Abdul al-Said. Yes. Yes. Washington Free Beacon just reported that his mother was active in the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt before she immigrated. And that old school media posts from his half-sister appear to be cutting against his denials of any family ties. So you got your sister and your mother. Then he just shared the stage with a streamer who once said, America deserved 9-11. His politics are democratic socialist, and that alone is worth fighting in every town in every state.
Starting point is 00:55:58 But I don't know if you've heard the latest. Just this week, because he's getting pushback from his Islamic supporters, he was cozying up to a man, did an interview with a man who called Hamas freedom fighters and said Jews need to be sent back to Poland. Now, El-Said interviewed. by this guy because the interviewer was worried he's too soft on Israel. We'll get back to that. But even with that, there is no evidence that he's ever personally being involved with a mother brotherhood. He's denounced it publicly, but so have all of the Marxists until recently. You've got to look at his actions.
Starting point is 00:56:43 He called Hassan Pikers comments dumb and put distance between them. But I believe he's also shared a stage with him. A man who is judged by what he does is important. His mother's past, his sister's posts. I don't know. I don't know. But at least it should play a role in your calculus. We live in a time where people are hiding behind masks,
Starting point is 00:57:12 and he has spent far too much time with too many deep radicals. And while you're not your mom or your sister, one does need to question how far does that. that apple fall from the tree. So here's how you tell the difference between a rational concern from a phobia. A phobia only asks the question
Starting point is 00:57:35 of one kind of person. A principal asks that question of everyone. So ask every candidate, Muslim, Christian, Jew, atheist. The same thing. Should any court in America ever be
Starting point is 00:57:51 ruled by religious law instead of the Constitution? The answer should always be no. Will you protect the Muslim woman who wants to leave her faith or her marriage with the same law that protects every other American? The answer to that should always be yes. Will you name the Muslim Brotherhood Hamas and Hezbollah for what they are? The answer to that is yes, they're terrorists. A good candidate of any faith can answer all of those questions in a heartbeat.
Starting point is 00:58:24 El-Said squirms, which tells you everything you need to know. So the president said, you know, if the other side wins, you can't even have Christmas. Well, okay, Christmas is not protected. And it's not protected by keeping Muslims out of the Senate. It's protected by a constitution that lets the family down the street pray on Friday while letting you sing on December 25th. And no imam, no bishop, no president can put a law above that. Now, here's what he means.
Starting point is 00:59:03 What is happening all over Europe? There are no go zones. They are bombing the Christmas villages. The stated goal is very clear. The question that you have to ask yourself is, do you feel comfortable enough with a man who is friends with, Iranian radicals who actually served in the army for Iran and still believes that Iran is right, that advocates for Sharia law and all the Marxists.
Starting point is 00:59:42 I mean, honestly, I listen to him and his words are too close to the exact words of the Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran in 1979. And, you know, the Ayatollah said the same thing, but he didn't mean it. The question is, does Al-Said? And we have to ask that question while also saying the fight is not us against them. It is not the constitution against anyone or any faith or no faith. It is the constitution against anyone who wants to sit or have their faith sit above the constitution. Fear that. That's not a phobia.
Starting point is 01:00:20 That's the price of staying free. And the most ironic thing about the whole discussion of phobia from El Saeed supporters, those same supporters released an ad this week. I have to play for you in 60 seconds. Wait until you hear this. First, cozy earth. You know, when you're 12, luxury is a swimming pool and an unlimited supply of ice cream. When you're 40, it's a pillow that doesn't require three minutes of punching before you go to sleep. Frankly, I understand the appeal.
Starting point is 01:00:49 Your bed is one of the few places in life where nobody should be asking you to solve anything. You should just get in and fall asleep. You shouldn't be fighting with scratchy sheets or trying to find the cool side of the pillow or you're searching.

Show me your friends. I'll show you your future. The supporters. His supporters just released an ad, blaming the egg prices literally on Jews.
Starting point is 01:02:16 Now, this was a pack, not Abdul, but have I seen him condemn it? No. I don't think he will. I want you to listen to this ad. We get all the sandwich stuff for the kids lunch. I don't like turkey anymore. Yeah. I know. What about the bananas? Yeah, I got them too. But honey.
Starting point is 01:02:36 What? You're gonna have to put those eggs back. They don't like eggs anymore? No, they like eggs. But we have to set that $7 aside. For killing Palestinians? What? I mean, don't we give Israel $4 billion a year anyways?
Starting point is 01:02:52 Yeah. And now we're giving them another $26 billion. Do you know how much that is per American taxpayer? No. It's like $160 billion. $11 per person. So wait, she goes on to say that the bananas are more expensive now because of the Jews. I've never heard anything so anti-Semitic in my life. The price of eggs are because of the Jews?
Starting point is 01:03:18 I mean, this could be Saturday night live. It's not. By the way, the price of eggs and bananas have not gone up at all since the war. The Jews aren't jacking our prices of bananas. if I have to say that. I got to tell you, the only thing that some of these people have not done yet is just come out and said, you know, and here are the matzaballs that they make out of Jewish children's blood. I mean, Christian children's blood. Oh, and here's the cup where they drink the blood of Christians. I mean, why don't you just come out with the protocols of the elders of Zion? I mean,
Starting point is 01:03:55 that's where we are with this. Now, is he going to come out and say anything about it? Is he going to be held to the standard, the Ohio standard? I'm sure that's coming, right? Right? You're going to be asked, hey, do you agree with this ad? He didn't pay for it. But are you okay with that ad? Price of bananas and eggs are expensive because of the Jews?
Starting point is 01:04:25 Remember, a principle is only a principle if you apply it evenly. So let's see their principles. I doubt anybody's going to be asking him and pushing him. He's not going to be on 60 minutes. Ask about the price of bananas and eggs. And he keeps being asked the same question. And you're asked the same question because you're not giving a satisfactory answer to these questions, which should tell you everything you need to know, quite honestly.
Starting point is 01:04:57 All right. Since we're here, I want to tell you about a trip. we're taking to Nigeria next. You know, a bridge is a pretty remarkable thing. Two sides of people can build their lives, you know, generation after generation looking at each other over a river and never meet. And then somebody builds a bridge. And suddenly what seemed impossible is a simple walk across the water.
Starting point is 01:05:41 There are bridges that matter even more than ones that are made of wood or steel. For decades, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been helping Christians turn their support for the Jewish people into something tangible, literally building bridges. They deliver food for people who need it. They give help to families in difficult circumstances. Practical assistance that says you have not been forgotten, even though we think of you every time we'd have to go price our bananas. Oh my gosh. When anti-Semitism is so open and more brazen than ever, the friendship to the Jewish people matters a lot. A lot of people say they stand with Israel. I hope they meet it.
Starting point is 01:06:24 You know, a measure of a bridge is whether anyone actually crosses it. Will you cross this bridge? The fellowship will give you an opportunity to make your conviction visible through compassion and action. I want you right now go to their website, give IFCJ.org. Giveifcj.org. Tomorrow after Radio Glenn and Cheyenne debut a new Christmas album, join us to hear it. Glenbeck.com slash torch. I am coming back to that ad because El Saeed's campaign has made a statement on the ad.
Starting point is 01:07:19 We're going to get to that here in a second. But I want to tell you what happened this weekend. There was a video that started moving across Nigerian social media, a man leading a group of young men in uniform, and they're jogging in formation, and they're chanting. They're chanting in Hausa. And they sing about getting AK-47s, traveling to attack the infidels during Sunday worship.
Starting point is 01:07:46 And then they sing about moving on to the next town to kill more. The Northern Christian Association is demanding an investigation in this. Nobody has confirmed who these men are. But nobody in Nigeria is treating this as a joke because in Nigeria, the chant has a way of coming true over and over and over again. It's an organization called Open Doors, and they have been tracking the persecution of Christians in about 100 countries. In its latest report covering the last 12 months, 4,849 Christians were killed for their faith worldwide.
Starting point is 01:08:24 4,849 Christians killed worldwide. 3,490 of them died in Nigeria last year. Seven out of every 10 Christian martyrs on the planet are in Nigeria. Nigeria. That's more than the rest of the world combined. And that number was up 390 from the year before. This year, it hasn't slowed down. An American aid group has audited the killings from January 1st through September 8th. And here's what they found. Four thousand two hundred and 16 Christians dead. That's only what they could document. That's one Christian every 86 minutes. That means by the time I end my broadcast today, two more Christians will die because of their faith in Nigeria.
Starting point is 01:09:20 Now, just like in everything, the Nigerian government is going to tell you, no, they're mostly peaceful. This is about land, this about cattle, this about banits, this about climate. And some of it is. Like in France, some of that actually is about the schools, but the vast majority is not. In Benu State last year in Nigeria, 1,310 Christians were killed. How many Muslims? 29. In Caduna State, 1,116 Christians were kidnapped. How many Muslims?
Starting point is 01:10:01 1001. You know, bandits don't care which house has a cross on the wall, but you know what? These ones do. These ones seem to really care. In southern Kaduna, there is a farming village where the Christian families on a Sunday in July, they came back from worship, they go to bed at 11 o'clock that night, gunmen come. They didn't raid the village. They walked it, house by house.
Starting point is 01:10:33 They went through the doors and they killed who, was inside and set the houses on fire. Families ran into the fields and hid in the bush and the dark and they listened and when it was over at least 30 people were dead. Eight children. One man in this village lost five children in a single night. The problem is there are no local police. There's no state government. So it took hours for soldiers to arrive and the killers were long gone. The local counselor said every month we bury people. I'm tired of burying people.
Starting point is 01:11:11 The month before they buried 11, including children, then 30. He said, my people can't keep burying their families every month. And he asked the United States and the Christians around the world for help. He was asking you, but did you even hear it? That was in July. I didn't hear it. This month, Bocaut. Boko Haram destroyed a church, emptied eight villages where every resident was a Christian.
Starting point is 01:11:42 Do you think Boko Haram is doing this to Muslims? In Benu, more than a hundred men on 150 motorbikes split into the groups and hit four villages at once. This is October 7th, except it's with Christians. Afterwards, one of the killers was caught using a victim's phone to make phone calls, exactly like October 7th, except it was with Christians. And the timing made it so much worse because it was almost harvest. Okay?
Starting point is 01:12:15 And it's in the middle of, you know, the harvest season in the place where everybody, that's where they get their food. So these farmers, they've lost a whole income. Burn the village now and you don't just kill a family. You starve the ones who ran away. And Christian leaders there will tell you that's the point. Empty the land, then they'll come in and take it. This has been done in country after country after country.
Starting point is 01:12:44 And by the way, it's not just Christians. If you're a Muslim who isn't Muslim enough for them, you're next in line. In February, jihadis sent letters to Woro. Now, this is a village that is mostly Muslim. They first asked permission to preach. Then came the pamphlets. Then a final warning, signed by Boko Haram. Accept our version of Sharia law or die.
Starting point is 01:13:15 Reject your country's constitution. Any of this sound familiar? The village said, no, we're not going to. So hundreds of gunmen surrounded it, blocked all the exits, and went door to door. They tied people's hands and then executed them. A military aircraft flew over and they pulled back. But when the survivors came out of hiding, the killers sounded the call to prayer from the mosque and then murdered the people who answered it because it's not their cup of tea.
Starting point is 01:13:45 The chief of mom was among the dead. The toll passed 160 and then just kept climbing. This is not Christians against Muslims. This is a war against anyone who will not kneel. I saw this video this weekend, and it bothered me so much. I saw it Saturday when I was going to the Mercury 1 gala, where we were raising money to be able to pay everybody to keep doing their job for another year. So when I go on the air, I can raise money.
Starting point is 01:14:24 I say every dime goes to this. And I was so disturbed by it. I said on Saturday night from the stage, we are going to help these people. The last time I felt something like this is when we left Kabul, knowing who was being left behind. I felt it when ISIS was burning Christians in cages or putting them in a cage and then putting them in pools and filming it. Both times the world said, wow, that's terrible and then changed the channel. And that's why I started the Nazarene Fund.
Starting point is 01:15:06 I'm not willing to change the channel. and because of you, we haven't. After Afghanistan, you gave until it hurt. We got roughly 20,000 people out. It's a remarkable thing. You have helped us rescue nearly 100,000 people in one form or another who are persecuted for their faith. Christians, Jews, Yazidis, even Muslims who refuse to live under Sharia law. These are all people who would be dead today, but they're not because of you.
Starting point is 01:15:43 What I didn't say on Saturday is for months, we have been quietly planting seeds in Nigeria. We are building systems finding the right people on the ground, and it is so dangerous. It's one of the most dangerous places in the world. And we can't just go in and rescue these people and take them out because that's what the Muslims want. Then they will have a Muslim Nigeria. Here's what I want to tell you today. This week, two people who I don't think should be the ones who are going, but this is, they've all talked about it and they've all made their decisions. But two women for Mercury 1 are getting onto a plane this week.
Starting point is 01:16:34 I think tomorrow or Thursday. And I've seen the plans and they're good. And I've seen the problems and they're huge. And let me tell you, this is impossible. without God. One of the most dangerous places on earth. If you're caught there as a Christian or as a Muslim who isn't Muslim enough, you're dead. But what's amazing is I think this is where God does his best work, where it's impossible.
Starting point is 01:17:15 And he almost always does it through ordinary people who just say, yeah, I'll do that. Nigeria is half a world away. I don't even know if I could find that, let alone Ben You, on a map. We have our own bills, we have our own kids, we have our own worries, we have an election coming up. I mean, geez, but so did that father who watched eight of his kids. He wasn't a statistic until 11 o'clock on a Sunday night. Picture your own town on a Sunday night. You went to church that morning.
Starting point is 01:17:56 kids are asleep down the hall and then you hear motorbikes the only difference between his family and yours is the address we don't get to choose whether your brother lives you only choose whether you answer when you hear the knocking and he is knocking
Starting point is 01:18:20 what makes us Americans and what makes this why people say we're a Judeo-Christian nation is because we believe in the golden rule, we believe in the commandment to love thy neighbor. Love thy enemy. Nowhere does it say love your neighbor. I mean, in your own zip code.
Starting point is 01:18:52 I am dedicating the rest of my life to dying broke. Anything that I have, we will be giving away before I die. And you have to care about all. of it. We have to care. We have to act. We have to stand. I can't idly stand by when our brothers and sisters in Christ are hunted in the dark. So next week, my team, two members of my team, please pray for them, will be live from Nigeria. And I'll show you exactly what we are doing and who we are reaching and how we're doing it. There's been a a lot of planning going into this.
Starting point is 01:19:41 And we may be at some point going in and saving Christians, but there's no place for them to go. Nobody will take them. When we got out of Afghanistan, I got these Afghanis out, we had to find countries that would take them. There's no one will take these Nigerian Christians. But the plane leaves this week, and so the work has started. If you know Mercury 1, if you know the Nazarene Fund, if you have given to us before, you know what we have done in the past. And I would appreciate it if you would go to Nazarenefund.org and give whatever you can. Widows might. It could be a dollar. It really doesn't matter.
Starting point is 01:20:28 But this is our time. This is our moment. This is our calling. Someday somebody is going to ask, what did we do? when they came for the Christians in Nigeria, you'll have an answer, even if it's a widow's might. Pray for my team. Pray for all those who are being slaughtered now by those who want Sharia law
Starting point is 01:20:59 and won't take no for an answer. And go to the Nazareen Fund.org. That's nazareenfund.org. Back in a minute. I happen to have a commercial for Mercury 1 here. One of the most dangerous things that can happen in a country is when good people start believing they're powerless. You look in France, the destruction,
Starting point is 01:21:22 the disruption of life, ordinary men and women, watching your community come apart, wondering whether there's anything you can do about it, is that feeling of hopelessness and destruction? But somebody's got to stand up and say, you know what, we can fix this. We can fix it. For 15 years, you and I have been able to step into situations where people really needed help.
Starting point is 01:21:46 And you made a difference. Disaster relief, rescue operations, helping veterans, preserving our history and passing lessons on to the next generation. And our maximum impact fund helps make all of that possible. The reason why we've been working on this with Nigeria without raising any money is because we've had that maximum impact fund. It allows us to go and do all the preliminary work. so when a disaster hits, we can do it before I come to you.
Starting point is 01:22:12 We can't fix everything that's going on the world, but we can do enough to show that we're not powerless for Mercury 1 for 15 years now. I hope we have proven that to you, and we'd love for you to join our family. Mercury 1.org. That's Mercury1.org. Faith, family, a full work day. That's not fascist.
Starting point is 01:22:37 That's just too. Tuesday. More Glenn Beck, straight ahead. Christmas is when we remember what we actually believe, not the watered down version, the real one, family around the same table, the same stories, the same room. We call it Christmas because that's what it is. A lot of places won't say it anymore. They'll say it's the holidays. Like the word itself is something you have to step around. Well, we won't do that. Christmas is Christmas. And that same feeling used to live in the things that we bought. We used to care where something was made. When we were told it was cheap and fast, you know, that wasn't good enough, but now it is, and we've stopped asking. American giant never
Starting point is 01:23:25 stopped. American cotton, American factories, American hands, clothing built heavy, honest, meant to be worn year after year. We now see the cost of cheap, lost jobs, lost towns, and a lost generation. This Christmas, put something under the tree made by people who still take pride in what they do. American made, American quality, an American idea. American down. American down. giant.com slash glen. Use my name, get 20% off your first order. American dash giant.com slash glen. So let's wrap up a couple of things. Dr. El Syed's campaign has made a statement about that ad, you know, where the price of bananas and eggs are expensive because of Jews, and I'm not making that up. He said, this is, we are not affiliated in any way with this. Abdul is focused on pushing back against Trump's agenda
Starting point is 01:24:24 that is raising prices for people in Michigan. No one speaks for Abdul but himself in his campaign. But notice they didn't say this is a dirty, horrible, anti-Semitic ad. They did not condemn the ad. They just distance themselves from it. I think that is interesting. Something else, the Torch Insiders said, why do the people in Nigeria, why don't they fight back?
Starting point is 01:24:45 Well, they have no guns. Nigeria is unlike anything you can imagine. They don't have a local police force. The state doesn't have like state. troopers, so they have to wait for the federal government and they don't have guns. Why don't they leave? Where are they going to go? I mean, you're a refugee from Africa.
Starting point is 01:25:06 Are you going to Europe? I mean, they've already swarmed, you know, the Muslims from Syria have swarmed. A lot of doors are not open to people. And you don't want to abandon Nigeria. We need to strengthen the Christians there and help the Christians. there, not remove them. Election Day doesn't clear your calendar for you. It'd be nice if it did.
Starting point is 01:25:44 Unfortunately, you still have to go to work. The kids still have to get to someplace and somebody else might get sick or the car won't start. And that super important meeting runs long. None of those things care that this was the day you planned on voting. So don't build a plan that only works if everything goes right. Early voting is available everywhere. If it's available where you live, find out when it starts. Know where you need to go.
Starting point is 01:26:06 Look at your calendar. Pick a day when you can actually get it done. Because voting is important enough to treat it like something you intend to do, not something you hope you'll have time to do. Go to go to gopvotes.org right now. Find out when you can vote. Make your voice heard. It's easier than ever.
Starting point is 01:26:24 Get the election reminders. Look up your polling location and pick a date to go vote early. Go to gopvotes.org today. That's gopopvotes. Dot org. Do it. Welcome to the. the Glenn Beck program. So how is this election going to turn out? I don't know. But I will tell you this.
Starting point is 01:27:39 If you want to know who decides it, don't look at the kids on the TikTok or, you know, the boomers at the clubhouse. Look at the people in the middle of the aisle. And I'm going to tell you about them because they very well could decide this. And we'll go there in 60 seconds. First, there is a reason airline pilots use checklists every single flight. Even people know exactly what they do. You know, They understand big decisions shouldn't depend on what I happen to remember in the moment. A real estate transaction has a whole lot of moving parts. There is the price. There's also the timing, the inspection, the financing, the negotiations,
Starting point is 01:28:12 the things that could go wrong in between the handshake and the closing table. It's not the time to discover your agent has a great smile but no real plan. That's why I started real estate agents I trust. It connects you with experienced real estate professionals who understand their local market and can help make informed decisions, help you do that, because this is the biggest purchase you're probably ever going to make. You don't need somebody to tell you that every house is perfect. You need somebody who will help you recognize the right one and know what to do and when the right time is to act. Please check out real estate agents.itrust.com. We'll show you that you can
Starting point is 01:28:45 buy or sell a home even in this tough market. Name says it all. It's real estate agents.i trust.com. Okay, so a week from today, America votes. and I think, you know, we're looking at the polls. I don't know whether to trust the polls or not. They could be spot on. They can be completely wrong. I don't know. I want to look at somebody who, that nobody bothers to call first.
Starting point is 01:29:07 And that's Generation X. Ricky, our executive producer and head of content here on the team, she sent me a whole buttload of research. And I was like, oh, is she making me read? Why can't you just tell me this stuff, Ricky? She's like, I'm busy. And I'm like, okay, but I'm busy eating macaroni and cheese in my underpants. Why just call me and tell me.
Starting point is 01:29:31 Anyway, so I read through all of it. And she sent me all these headlines that don't even pretend to be neutral. Why Generation X is a superior generation. Okay, I got it. I got it. But her numbers back it up. In 2020, Generation X leaned toward Donald Trump by about a point. In 2024, they moved harder than any other generation.
Starting point is 01:29:54 in the country, roughly nine points and carried him by double digits in some counts. National Review, AEI, Business Insider, they all ran the same post-mortem. This spring, a left-wing blog looked at the midterm polling and ran a headline and just asked this, what is wrong with Generation X? Now, Ricky's answer is my answer. Nothing. Nothing. Everything else wobbled, but Generation X did not.
Starting point is 01:30:24 Not. And you know, the nice thing about Generation X, and I've always considered myself Generation X, even though I'm a year before Generation X, I've had more in common with Generation X than I do with the boomers. But anyway, the nice thing about Generation X is, I don't know about you. I can't be bothered to riot about anything either way, you know. No street theater, no soup on the paintings, no gluing ourselves to the highway. I just, I can't, it's not me. I'm not interested. We voted and then we went back to work.
Starting point is 01:30:58 Okay. Now, again, I am part of the Jones. I think that's what they call the Jones generation. The last 10 years of boomers is actually a different kind of mentality entirely. But I say this as a neighbor, you know, kind of leaning over the fence, you know. I think Ricky's right. And I think, you know, the reason is hiding in the name. Generation X.
Starting point is 01:31:24 I always thought it came from a novel in 91. It didn't actually. It came from a war photographer. Robert Kappa, I think his name was. And he waited out into Omaha Beach on D-Day, and he was carrying cameras instead of a rifle. I mean, the guy was nuts. After the war, in the early 1950s,
Starting point is 01:31:43 he set out to photograph the young people that were coming of age in the rubble, and he called the project Generation X. You know, not because X was cool, but because X was a blank. It meant unknown. Generation that nobody had figured out yet. So the name drifted and it became a British book about teenagers.
Starting point is 01:32:05 They picked it up in 64. A copy of it sat on the shelf of some English house. And then the son that grew up there named his punk band Generation X. The son that did that, Billy Idol. Then a Canadian novelist put it on the book cover in 91 and it stuck. Okay. So it's every generation born in America from 1965 to 1980. Unknown X, which is exactly how Generation X was raised. You know, if you picture Generation X a kid in 1978, mom is at work, often because she has to be.
Starting point is 01:32:42 The divorce rate has doubled between 1960 and 1980. So the kid gets a house key on a shoelace, it's hanging around his neck, the latch key, tucked underneath his shirt. and all of this happened with the people that were growing up in the 70s and the 80s and the latch key actually came to use during the Second World War when dad was overseas and mom was building bombers. The greatest generation, their children, were the first to wear the key, but their grandchildren put it back on by choice.
Starting point is 01:33:18 Not their choice, their parents' choice, many times. So the Generation X kid gets off the, bus at 315, lets himself in, finds a note on the counter. I can't tell you how many times I saw this note. Dinner is in the fridge, home at six, don't touch the stove. And then we would promptly touch the stove. And we'd make ourselves a grilled cheese sandwich and we'd watch Gilligan's Island repeats. You know, maybe we'd do our homework. We ride our bike across town. No helmet, no phone, no adult on earth knowing where we are. All we had to know is the one rule. Be home before the street lights come on. That's it.
Starting point is 01:33:55 And every night, the local station asked parents, it's 10 p.m. Do you know where your children are? And a lot of honest parents would have said, yeah, out someplace. Are the street lights on yet? But these are the kids who saw missing children on their milk cartons at breakfast. These are the kids who watched the Challenger lift off in a classroom on TV with a teacher on board and watched it all come apart. These are the kids who saw a network movie in 1983
Starting point is 01:34:28 about nuclear fallout and nuclear war wiping out a town in Kansas and then went to school the next year all freaked out by it. And the country's message to them was clear. You're on your own kid. Nobody told them it's a tragic life you're living. And so we didn't treat it like one.
Starting point is 01:34:48 Most of us growing up were poorish, maybe even poor. but we didn't feel it, and we didn't feel our life was a, you know, a challenge or, or, you know, oh my gosh, poor me. It didn't have any of that. It wasn't charming. A lot of kids that hung the key around,
Starting point is 01:35:09 they were very lonely. And plenty of Gen Xers swore they would never do that to their own children. But look at what that childhood built, the ones who came through it. You know, a kid who, the kid who has never watched learns to watch out. Nobody coming to fix the bike chain
Starting point is 01:35:32 so you have to learn how to fix it yourself. The grownups didn't have it together. They sucked a lot of the time. So, you know, he stops waiting for them to, I don't know, do whatever they do. You know, boredom isn't a crisis. You don't owe me an answer for,
Starting point is 01:35:50 you know how bored I am? Go out and do something. It's a problem and you solve it. You know, a dirt lot, a couple of friends, you got a game. They didn't have peanut allergies. I don't know. But we were raised on late night TV in the first years of MTV. You can smell a pitch from an ad man coming a mile away.
Starting point is 01:36:19 One AEI writer argued after the election, Generation X knows irony. They know when somebody is performing and they like it when the performer winks. A slogan won't move them. A hashtag doesn't move them. Results and actual action does. And the women, Gen X feminism, garage band feminism. Photocopied zines, punk records, do it yourself. Stand on your own two feet. It wasn't about choice, not about grievance. These were the women who raised themselves right next to their brothers. And they never mistook the boy across the kitchen table, for an oppressor. He was just the idiot who ate their last Pop-Tart.
Starting point is 01:37:07 And the men. Well, let me show you something. Ricky sent this to me in a stack of stuff. And I have to tell you, this says everything. Men could walk a runway in a flaming tangerine velvet suit and still look like they could change your tire.
Starting point is 01:37:28 I want to show that run this. Here we go. So there's 1995 of you happen to be watching on the left hand of your screen. And the right hand is 2025. And look at the difference between the men on the runway. Okay. Those guys are 45 to 60 years old. And they're raising teenagers and taking care of aging parents at the same time.
Starting point is 01:37:49 They got hit by 2008 right before they were buying their first real house. And then hit again by inflation in the peak earning years. I mean, we always, as somebody who was born again, just outside of it, 1964, it seems like we always miss the good times. We're just on the other side of the fence, okay? They have been America's forgotten middle, the forgotten middle child, our entire lives. And you don't, we're not whining about it. Because everybody told us whining's not going to change anything.
Starting point is 01:38:24 Nobody's coming to save you, kid. So be the one who comes. and that's not a sad idea. I think it's why Generation X, many, I don't know. I think it's why they believe in America. It's the pioneer. It's the farmer. It's the volunteer fireman.
Starting point is 01:38:52 It's the woman who starts her own business in a kitchen table. Gen X kids just learned it before they could reach for the top shelf. And if you're younger, the great thing is, it's not a club you're locked out of. The key still works. Put the phone in a drawer for an afternoon. Fix something yourself before you go look up a video. Try to figure it out. Go somewhere without telling the whole internet.
Starting point is 01:39:19 You're going to find out you're a lot more capable than anybody has let you believe. You are. Robert Kappa, he called them X because nobody knew what they would become. But now we know. the kids with the keys around their necks grew up to hold the keys to the house, the business, the family. And one week from today,
Starting point is 01:39:40 maybe they hold the key to the country. I know how the old hippies, I mean, you see the No Kings protest. They're all like, I remember in tie-died shirts and I'm out there now, No-Kings, and I think I just crap my pants. Gen X is going to walk into a booth
Starting point is 01:40:00 and they're not going to have a sign. They're not going to have a speech. They're not going to make a scene. Their hair most likely is the kind of hair that they were born with. It's not weird, orange, pink or blue. And they'll make their mark. Turns out, X was never a blank. It was a signature.
Starting point is 01:40:25 I'm interested to see what Gen X does. Are they still there? It's going to be an interesting. Tuesday. All right, I got to go. Street lights are coming on soon. So let me continue the show here and tell you about my Patriot Supply. If you've ever been to a grocery store right before a big storm, you've seen the great mysteries of human behavior. Everybody apparently agrees at the very exact same time. I need bread, batteries, and 40 gallons of milk. That's not a plan. That's really, I mean, that's a crowd. The smarter time to think about the emergency is when the sky is blue and the roads are
Starting point is 01:41:02 open and you can take care of things and take your time to figure things out because the first hours of disruption are not when you want to start figuring out how you're going to feed your family and my patriot supply offers long-term emergency food kits that can be stored until they're needed their food is designed for extended shelf life so you can just put the supplies aside and you know get back to living your life preparedness it's not about predicting which storm is going to hit or which road is going to close. It's about making sure that when something unexpected happens, dinner doesn't have to become the next emergency.
Starting point is 01:41:35 So go to prepare with glen.com. Save now almost $300 on the complete winter bundle. Don't wait until the forecast sends everybody scrambling again. Oh, snow. And the weatherman says it's going to be the biggest snow since the ice age and then you get a flake. Go to prepare with glen.com.
Starting point is 01:41:51 Get your winter prep bundle right now while they're still available. Prepare with glen.com. 10 seconds, station ID. So it was 13 days ago, around 3 o'clock in the morning, agents from Homeland Security pounded on the front and back doors of Ilhan Omar's home in Washington. About two dozen agents came in, five hours there. They left with 17 items, including her phone, also with her passport and her DNA.
Starting point is 01:42:30 Since then, grand jury subpoenas have gone out to members of her family. Her sister has spoken with federal investigators. and a court filing has surfaced referred to the Congresswoman by a completely different name. We told you about that a couple of days ago. Now, we have obtained the text of a memo from Homeland Security Investigations to the State Department, came from a source inside the administration. We got a photo. I can't show you the photo.
Starting point is 01:42:56 But we are telling you what it says, how we got it, and you can weigh it for yourself. It's dated February 9th of this year, eight months before anybody knocked on a door. So they've been working on this. The memo asked the State Department for certified, complete, unredacted copies of every passport application that Ilhan Omar has ever filed. Also, personal and official, every supporting document, every letter, anything that identifies her parents. And it says why. She is named as the subject of criminal and civil investigations for possible violations of two federal laws, making a false statement on a passport application and falsely claiming U.S. citizenship.
Starting point is 01:43:39 Then one more line. She also may be amenable to civil denaturalization. They're going to try to take her citizenship away. Now, there's a lot to this story. Her father was a career officer in the Somali Armed Forces, and that's not what he said. so it looks like he came in under false pretenses as well. And she signed her passport.
Starting point is 01:44:08 And every day she puts a false birthday on that form. That's a crime. And there's new things that are coming out now in one of her own books. She says that she was eight years old when the Somali revolution started. And in that year, if she was eight years old, which he said in the book, that would have made her 19 years old when she was. she came in so she has a she lied about her passport according to that also there's more about her brother and and everything else we're going to continue to watch this i'm not sure that this is going
Starting point is 01:44:44 to get her kicked out i'm not sure it's really hard to prove all of this stuff but they look like they have the goods on here her also her finances are under investigation and her finances are crazy, crazy. She was just on, I'm trying to find all of this. She was just on MS now. And she's doing an interview. And she's like, you know, we're poor. We're just barely, you know, making it.
Starting point is 01:45:17 Wait, wait, wait, what? So her husband had a winery and also was an investor in some marijuana farm. And they apparently both went broke. And so now his partners were suing him for an awful lot of money. And he wasn't able to pay it because he was broke. And then suddenly this guy comes in from India and writes him an $11 million check. We don't know why the check was written for him, et cetera, et cetera. But all of a sudden he paid off and made those lawsuits, litigation go away.
Starting point is 01:45:57 So there's something to be asked about that. and the people who were paid off are like, how did that work? He was claiming he had no money whatsoever. How did he pay all of us off? So they're looking into her finances as well because they are really suspicious, really suspicious. Now she's saying she has to move because now, and I agree with her on this. She's like, now my house has been on TV, my address is. known everywhere. You know, how am I going to keep my kids safe? How am I going to stay safe in
Starting point is 01:46:35 Washington, D.C.? And she is right about that. And, you know, what are you going to do? And she probably, you know, also, you know, I don't feel like it's safe going back to my house, blah, well, I imagine how Melania felt, you know. Everybody knew her address. By the way, speaking of this, Jason, have you had a chance to look into the defensive stations that have been put out behind Mark, Maralago in the water now, anti-aircraft missiles, I guess. Have you seen this? I have not seen it. No, and I haven't looked into it yet. Okay. Yeah, we'll look into it. Maybe we can get into it tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:47:13 But, you know, a military jet did what they said was a headbut on a plane that was headed towards Mara Lago. I think earlier, it must have been late last week because it wasn't yesterday. And now it was reported, I think yesterday, that, you know, because you can take a boat and go behind Mar-a-Lago. But now there are these floating stations behind Mar-a-Lago, and they are anti-aircraft weapons behind the press. So I don't know what is happening, but apparently the threats again on his life are significant. And not sure that those would be coming for the left. I think those might be coming from Iran or elsewhere. Okay, more in a second.
Starting point is 01:48:00 I've got good news if you have kids in school. We have good news for you, ways that you can make sure your kids are learning the right things next. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Patriot Mobile. The modern family can still live in five different states and manage to have the same argument at Thanksgiving. And it's really impressive, you know?
Starting point is 01:48:20 You know, all those people can be on the same wireless plan, And even if we live hundreds of miles apart and with Patriot Mobile, they don't have to use the same network. Patriot Mobile offers service on all three major networks means you can choose the network that makes sense for each line depending on where people live and work. I mean, we get good coverage on one network here in Dallas. We get, you know, horrible coverage with that network in Idaho and different coverage in Florida. You can do this. You can make sure that wherever you are, you can get the right. right coverage. They also offer premium 5G service, U.S. customer service support, and options that
Starting point is 01:49:00 let you keep your existing number when you switch. So there's a reason you should check this company out, all of that stuff. Plus, they fight for the things that really matter to you and me. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck Friday, 972 Patriot, use a promo code Beck Friday. You're going to get a free phone and two months of free service switch now for Black Friday, except it's Beck Friday, is the promo code. Terms and conditions to apply. Tomorrow after radio, Glenn and Cheyenne debut a new Christmas album, and you will ask yourself, is that being Crosby or Glenn Beck? Hear it to believe it, only at glenbeck.com slash torch.
Starting point is 01:49:57 You know what the secret to capitalism is, I believe. It is looking at people and saying, what is it that I could make or build or create that makes somebody's life easier? That is a servant mentality, but it is also the secret to the free market. You build a better mousetrap. It's not that you're building a better mousetrap. You're making somebody's problem go away. And in today's world, anything that will help me, I'm all for.
Starting point is 01:50:33 So you're a parent. What if every time your school board tried to sneak in a gender policy or a DEI crap in their agenda because that's what they do. They dump it in, they do it quickly, and then they bury it. And you don't know about it. What would happen if every time they try to do that, your phone pinged and alerted you? I don't know. That's the better mousetrap I'm looking for as a parent.
Starting point is 01:50:59 Thank you. Tina Descovic. She is the Moms for Liberty co-founder and CEO, and she has put this together. It's called Aware. Can you explain what that is, Tina? Oh, Glenn, yes. harness the power of AI to solve a problem, just like you said. We have leveled the playing field. You know that for decades, the radical left educational institutions have really had the advantage.
Starting point is 01:51:27 We launched five years ago, and I feel like we've been running like crazy to catch up to all the money and all the power and all the information that they have. We've been playing whackamol all over the country. And now through M4L aware, we have a dashboard right here at our now. headquarters where we can see everything. We can see the trends. We can see what's going on. And we've built the infrastructure over the last five years to be able to deliver this locally to what's happening at your most local district. Okay. So what are the things that aware is finding now? If I had this and it was pinging, what would I, what are the things you're finding so far? We find things as interesting and peculiar as a school district deciding the night before.
Starting point is 01:52:12 They're going to have a school board meeting at 6 a.m. the next morning. That is a true fact. We found that last week. And what were they doing at 6 a.m.? Do you know? Yeah, because they put them out on their website. Like they have to by law in most states. And our system aware scrapes the systems every 12 hours.
Starting point is 01:52:32 all the school boards across the country, and it delivers it to our inbox. It's incredible because it ranks them, too, red or green, which is helpful. And we can talk about that in a second. But the red are 1 through 10 and like a number 10 level alert. And then it puts it in categories, like a number 10 threat against parental rights, a number 10 threat against taxpayers, so on and so forth. You know, I'm not going to go over every category. So some of the things we find or have been finding, this is only two weeks old, by the way,
Starting point is 01:53:02 since we've launched. But some of the things that we are finding is a million dollars buried in a $40 million budget for putting telehealth services in all the schools in a school district. We have found obvious- And why is that bad? Why is that bad? Why is it bad? The trends that we're seeing overall over the last two weeks, which we've known, but now we have the facts and where it's happening. Schools are becoming almost mental health centers. You know this with social, emotional learning. They're putting therapists in schools and then billing the parents' insurance. Kids have access to mental health services at schools without parental permission. That is a gross violation of parental rights. But this telehealth thing, this is what we've been seeing over the last two
Starting point is 01:53:45 weeks, they're putting it in elementary schools. That means your child can get on a phone at the school and talk to a therapist without the parent ever knowing what type of therapist with a therapist is discussing with them. It's the stuff that we are uncovering, it is, it's, it's, it's mind-blowing. So how do you get this? How do you sign up for things? How do you sign up? So here's a thing, Glenn. We have, you know, moms for liberty over the past five years. We've grown to 300 chapters in 48 states, which is incredible. And we're doing incredible work. And I can pat myself on the back for that. But there are 3,000 counties in the country. We are rolling this out. We have about 100 of the counties covered right now because we have the system, we have the information, we need the army on the
Starting point is 01:54:33 ground to get the information and do something with it. And so what we need is we need 2,700 more chapter leaders so that every county in the country is covered and we can train them and send them the information and then all they have to do is disperse it in their community. Post it on social. We'll give them all the members in their community to text too. We have a system that we'll do that. We need individuals to sign up. So they have to go to momsforliberty.org. So is this something that you need some individual to be following the school board carefully, or is this something that AI scrapes? A.I. scrapes every 12 hours, every school district in the country. So historically for the past five years, Moms for Liberty chapter chairs have had to
Starting point is 01:55:17 read these agendas. And some of these agendas are thousands of pages long. Stuff is buried, and it's buried in the consent agenda. And we just haven't been able to keep up. Now, AI is doing that for us. What I need is a human being to give the dashboard to for a community. It's all done for them. But we need a human to check the data because you and I both know, sometimes AI is a little wacky.
Starting point is 01:55:40 Like when we got that 6 a.m. alert, we actually all laughed around here because I thought, oh, AI must have screwed up. And then we link directly back so you can see the source document right away. You can verify. and then you push it out to your community. Because what we don't want to do is lose credibility and raise people on things that aren't happening,
Starting point is 01:55:58 et cetera, et cetera. We need human eyes to monitor it. So you just go to momsforliberty.org and sign up. Does this give you good stuff as well? Are you finding any good things that are happening? Yeah, that's the best part that nobody wants to talk about. So we get these alerts. I'm desperate for it.
Starting point is 01:56:16 Oh, well, then good. And we have good news to share. So it scans the agendas, and then it ranks the items one to ten, red or green one to ten. And so there's even a scale, one to ten for attaboys. Hey, this school district passed a parental rights resolution. This school district changed their gender identity policy or the discrimination polly to remove gender identity. And it ranks it for us. And so the same person that's screening all the bad things can actually reach out to their school board and applaud them.
Starting point is 01:56:48 because there is something to rewarding good behavior, and we want to do that too. Yes. The trends, are you seeing, I'm so afraid if these guys win, all of this crap is just going to come back. And I think with a vengeance, are you seeing besides the telehealth stuff? What are the other trends that you're seeing? Is there any trend yet? It's only been two weeks. Yeah, the telehealth is the biggest one we've seen.
Starting point is 01:57:15 Financial trends are also a problem. a lot of the teacher trainings, which you already know, but now we have the proof of where they're happening with DEI in there and the teacher trainings. And honestly, the curriculum, you know, over the last five years, we've done a lot of curriculum reviews. So we know some of the worst offenders like Witten Wisdom. And so it pops right up.
Starting point is 01:57:35 This district's trying to adopt Witten Wisdom. And so if I don't know what Witt and Wisdom is, it will tell me. Yes, it'll tell you. It'll tell you it's a problem, why it's a problem. And then that's the point of being plugged into Mom. for Liberty because we actually have a chapter that did a thousand hours of research on it and has summary. We have a one-page document summary. So we can tell you, this is the problem.
Starting point is 01:57:57 And if you agree and your community agrees, you can take the school board speech and go tell them what the problem is. Show them the problem. You can point to the exact pages in the books where the problems are. I feel like we have been building the last five years for this moment, for technology to meet the grassroots and the infrastructure we've been building. It's really remarkable. So have you, has the left gotten a hold? Because I can imagine they're just saying, this is surveillance. This is surveillance.
Starting point is 01:58:24 Yes. Yeah. Of public documents. A public documents. And that's what we keep saying. Like, this is, your school board is a publicly elected entity funded by taxpayer dollars. And these are public documents. We're not doing anything other than shining light and disinfecting the rot that has been happening
Starting point is 01:58:43 in education for decades. I'm so glad. I wish we had this for every district, not just in schools, but I would like it for every congressman and everything else because, and also your school boards, because this stuff, are not school boards, your city council meetings, because this stuff is going by and they're just tucking this stuff in and most people don't know. But if you had an alert system, you'd be like, oh, yeah, okay, I'll go to that school board meeting. I know I would, but I'm not going to go every Tuesday and sit at a school board meeting, you know, to sift through. It's horrible to say, but I'm just not going to. All right, go to momsforliberty.org. Momsforliberty.org.
Starting point is 01:59:25 It's called Aware, Agenda Watch, Alert, Response, and Engage. And they are looking for moms or anybody that wants to volunteer in your local area. They'll set you all up so you can be, you can be the spot. I. Tina, as always great to talk to you. Thank you so much. Thank you, glad. You bet. Bye-bye. All right, more in a minute. Let me tell you about our sponsor. It's relief factor. The human body is, you know, it's full. I mean, it's an engineering miracle. It is. Take your hands. They can thread a needle. They can swing a hammer. They can button a shirt. They can hold a child. And in most days, you don't spend a second even thinking about how they work until you start to have pain in your hands.
Starting point is 02:00:10 And then you're like, okay, okay, I'm noticing them all the time now. Even a stiff morning or a sore joint, you reach for something, you get them out of a chair, ordinary things because you've done life to your body. This is one reason why you should consider relief factor. I take release factor every day. I think it makes a huge, I know it makes a huge difference in my life. Relief factor is a drug-free supplement. It's designed to support the body's natural response to inflammation and help. help people manage your everyday comfort.
Starting point is 02:00:44 Over a million people have tried relief factor. Two thirds of them gone on to take more. I'm one of them. It's, you know, they don't, what I like is they don't make the promise that it's going to work for everybody. 70% of the people go on to order more. See if you're one of them. You'll know within three weeks.
Starting point is 02:00:59 The other thing I like, try it for three weeks, $17.76. Yes, you might be out under $20 if it doesn't work for you. But 70%, you can get your life back. relief factor.com. 800 for relief. 1-800 for relief. It's relieffactor.com. You show up, you work hard,
Starting point is 02:01:19 you speak the truth. Even when it ain't popular. That still counts for something. Back. We'll be right back. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Ricky, I want to bring you in because she made a cheesecake factory tweet
Starting point is 02:02:05 yesterday. I never thought I'd say that. She's like this, a stupidest ass chart that proves nothing because it suggests low to middle income Americans never leave their neighborhood to to dine in a nicer one. They just told on themselves again. They think average Americans are too poor to leave their zip
Starting point is 02:02:24 code and only eat at Taco freaking bell. This comes from the Obama cheesecake thing, which you know, cheesecake factory. I'm like, you know, it's a good joke. It's a funny joke. you know, and it's just a joke. But a lot of people are really upset. And the left is overreacting.
Starting point is 02:02:47 Can you explain what's going on? Why did you tweet this? Because they're defensive. They think that there was nothing snobby or classist about President Obama's comments about about cheesecake factory. And yes, did he make a joke at the expense of President Trump and his White House decor? Sure, but he also made a joke at the expense of the customers and the people who like going to Cheesecake Factory. It wasn't until Obama said what he said about Cheesecake Factory.
Starting point is 02:03:15 I actually had no idea that it was garish or there was something wrong with the cheesecake factor. I thought it was a nice place to go for a birthday. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. And so she's talking about now, the reason why she, I assume it was a chart that set you off that they tweeted out? Yeah. So is the Cheesecake Factory really a restaurant for regular? Americans, here's what the data shows. Now, I don't care what the data show. I really don't care. Is it a place for regular Americans? Yeah. Yeah. And it might be a special occasion. It might be,
Starting point is 02:03:47 you know, whatever. Could be a date night, could be a birthday, whatever. But it's not like a swanky place where I'm going to bring all my upper cross friends all the time. You know what I mean? It's not, it's a nice place. But it's regular. So which chains are in the most valuable? neighborhoods. Okay. All right. So club Pilates, whole foods, yep, Trader Joe's, yep, Orange Theory, Warby Parker, yep, Kava, European Wax Center. I don't even know what it is and I'm not asking any questions. Shake shack. That's not in the most expensive neighborhoods. That's always in the woke neighborhoods. Apple stores, Lulu Lemon, Sephora. Then I'd say there's a break. Yeah, those are all upper cross brands, if you will, but I still think a lot of them are in the mainstream.
Starting point is 02:04:38 But then you get to the UPS store. These are brands in the most valuable neighborhoods. The UPS store, that is as American and mainstream as anything else. Then the cheesecake factory. Then P.F. Chang's. I mean, I don't see Melania dining at P.F. Chang's. Chapporte, Panera, Target, Costco. If this isn't right in the ballpark of, I mean, Costco and Target, that is middle America.
Starting point is 02:05:11 So what is their point that the cheesecake factory is upper crust? Then in and out Starbucks, Best Buy, Duncan, BJ's restaurant, Chick-fil-A, then this is the lower crust stuff. Five below, Olive Garden. Sam's Club, I shop at Sam's Club. Texas Roadhouse. I was at a Texas roadhouse in Idaho like two weeks ago. Subway Waffle House. I love Waffle House. Planet Fitness, Cracker Barrel, Walmart.
Starting point is 02:05:41 My wife shops at Walmart. I mean, this doesn't tell you anything. Does it? What is this supposed to tell you? I don't know. We do have a clip from Base Best, and I don't know we have time. It's 38 seconds. He's basically explaining that while they're trying to suggest that the cheesecake factory is for, you know, wealthy people.
Starting point is 02:06:06 That means that Obama was not offending middle Americans in Ohio when he was on the campaign trail. Okay. Can we hear that? Mr. Secretary, it's an interesting lunch choice today. What did you order for the cheesecake factory? I have what I always had, the French-dipped cheeseburger. Excellent. And so recent news, we've got former President Obama comparing White House decorations or construction to the cheesecake factory saying it looks like Saddam Hussein,
Starting point is 02:06:32 open to Cheesecake Factory. Any reaction to it? Well, two things. This is the man who built the museum. It looks like Darth Bader's tomb. And I would just tell the, I eat a great meal, always have a great meal, and I would tell the Martha's Vineyard set to give it or try. Okay. I got to tell you, there's no cheesecake factory ever in Martha's Vineyard, ever. They would never let a cheesecake factory be built there.
Starting point is 02:07:00 Never. It's crazy. May God save the Republic. We'll see you tomorrow.
