In light of the funeral of Pope Benedict XVI, Glenn recalls his trip to the Vatican and the disturbing spiritual encounter he experienced. Glenn and Stu weigh the pros and cons of human composting. Conservative activist Scott Presler lays out how the GOP must engage in legal ballot harvesting. Is America headed toward a four-day work week?

Let me tell you a little bit about, you know, when I walk in front of a mirror, especially after the holiday season, I'm looking at myself saying, hey, fatty, fat, fat, so how's it working? And it's not working out well for me. No? No. You know how much I hate exercise. I have got to start exercising or I'll be dead in a year. Give or take.

I've kind of decided that I'm just going to start wearing black or dark colors. You know, Johnny Cash did it, you know, for the Lord. I'm doing it because I'm just fat. And there's nothing.

You know, maybe I could walk around with a green screen. I don't know, but whoo! Welcome to the program. We're glad you're here. I would like to talk about terrorism. Because apparently that's what's going on, according to Dan Crenshaw, in Washington. We begin there in 60s. seconds. So, fatty fat, fat, so how is the New Year's resolution going on? How's it going,

huh? Have you done it? You have broken it yet? Here's a really easy New Year's resolution. I'm not going to go bankrupt fixing my car. How about that one? If you don't have a warranty on your car, you know it's just a matter of time. It's like having health insurance. When your car gets a hold, okay, I can go and fix that. But if your car has cancer, if your car has something major, you know, big things like a chip, it could cost you thousands of dollars. And that's where Car Shield comes in. They have protection plans for around $100 a month. All you have to do is choose the mechanic to do the work and Car Shield administrators handle everything else. It's incredibly easy to do and it'll save you so much hassle and money.

Oh, how's that New Year's resolution going for you? Oh, my God. Kicking it off? Yeah, no, I didn't. I didn't make one this year. I'm fully successful in mine. They just don't start until 2025. Really?

That's good. It's kind of like a congressional thing. Right. Yeah. I'm going to start eating right, but I'm spreading it over 10 years. Do you want to make rash decisions? Yeah, of course not. It takes a lot of planning.

When you need committees to look at this process. Okay, could you please stop using all the terrorist language that you're using? Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know if you know this, but Dan Crenshaw slammed the 20 House Republicans that oppose Kevin McCarthy. He said, I'm tired of your stupid platitudes that some consultant told you to say

on the campaign trail behind closed doors, just tell us what you actually want or shut the F up. Huh. So he thinks that people in the very weird approach. He thinks the people in the Freedom Caucus are being told

this is what you have to say to win. Really? Oh, yeah. Ha! Okay. He said, they need to be men and adults who say what they want instead of playing these little games. That's what we're asking. That's what I've asked them.

Some of them are my friends. Stop saying platitudes like Washington is broken. That's not a platitude. That's the truth. We can't do the status quo. That again, not a platitude. That's the truth. And I love how he says, behind closed doors.

tell us what you really want. Is that what you do, Dan? He said that they are now showing themselves to be unbelievably unsurious. They're now just choosing random people. They don't have a plan. They're acting like terrorists. Wow. Wow, acting like terrorists.

Well, you remember the 9-11 attacks were. initially chosen because they, well, they were, it was really about voting and they didn't have a plan on which candidate they wanted to come around. That's why Muhammad Atta had to do that. Really? Is that what it was about? If I remember. And he was, he was just saying, hey, we should operate under the constitutional norms? That was the big demand from ISIS, I remember. I didn't know that. They were very concerned about that. I mean, look, it's a figure. I get it. It's a figure of speech, but still, it's like, it's still silly, right? It's a silly criticism. I'm so tired of, look, I'm, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am to a place, and maybe I'm wrong on this, I'm to a place to where I do not want to banish anyone to the outer regions.

You believe in God? You believe in the Constitution? But we disagree on how to exactly how to worship him or, you know, what church we go to or, you know, we don't agree on all of the policies. do you believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Yep. Okay. Do you believe in the Bill of Rights? Yep. Do you believe in the Constitution? That we are a constitutional republic. And that's the problem. We're not operating anymore under the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Yep. Good. I'm fine. You're asking for more than I am. I think I would take half agreement on one of those things. That's what I want at this point. Yeah, are you, are you believing God of Isaac? What about Jacob? No, I don't, don't worry about Jacob.

Jacob was off the reservation. We don't know. But it is, it's kind of, it's a difficult thing, right? I understand trying to come up with someone who's going to please these 218, to get to 218 is not going to be easy, right? If you put up someone who's more conservative, likely one of the annoying moderates is going to say no. Sure. And they're going to bail on it. You know, you're at the point now where you start to wonder whether Kevin McCarthy's going to start going to Democrats and just start saying, hey, we all need these five of you.

I believe that they will go to Democrats. They, I believe they would even go for Hakeem Jeffries over a Freedom Caucus person. I think that's, it's not completely out of the question. First of all, you have a very incompetent group of people, right? So it's highly possible. A bunch of them forget to show up one day, and Jeffreys just wins. I mean, because of the way this vote works, it's not out of the question. No, you'll have to have 2.18, don't you?

You have to have the majority of the people voting. So if you vote present or you don't show up to vote, that threshold lowers, it's 212. He's getting 212. Jeffries is getting 212 each time. I don't think that's out of the question. I don't think it's out of the question that they try to pull some stunt. one of the things they're talking about doing is changing the rules.

So if they did this rule change... That's always good. That's always good. I love that. It worked out well in 2020, didn't it? For the Democrats? Right. Worked out well. Just change the rules. Just change the rules. So if you change the rules, normally you have to have a majority of the people they're voting. They can change the rules to say,

actually, now it's a sublurality. Now, in their minds, what would happen is McCarthy would win, you know, two six, or what is the, you know, you know, 16. No, basically the idea there would be to put a gun to the head

of the Freedom Caucus and say, it's going to be either McCarthy or Jeffries. And that's, I would not doubt for one second that they would do that. And what happens? They like the Democrats and would rather deal with the Democrats

than anyone who believes in the Constitution. And there is a bubbling theory in Washington now, in these circles that, you know what? We're not going to be able to get anything done anyway. We're not going to get anything passed because everything we pass is going to go to the Senate and die. If they do this, why not just let Jeffries have it?

If they do this, the Republican Party should be over. This is really being talked about in Washington where they're saying, look, let Jeffries win this thing. We still will be able to vote on the bills he brings up and we'll shoot them all down. We'll still be able to block everything. And then they'll get all the blame because they'll still have the control. And then 2024, we can come in and win. I'm telling you that this is actually bubbling around. Wow, so that is, let me just see if I have this strategy.

At least we're not the Democrats 2.0. Yeah. That's all that is. That's just a real. And it was such a winning strategy last time. Yeah, they want to run it back this time. I have to tell you, there is, this is so important. First of all, Dan Crenshaw, you know, you want to call people like me a terrorist.

That's fine. I'm not going to return the charge to you. I deeply disagree with you on many things, but I'm not going to call you names because we all have to come together. If we are going to stop the evil that we are all fighting against, we not only need the people we agree with, we need the people we disagree with as well. The left, evil has found a way.

to cobble together a huge coalition. They've convinced themselves. The Marxists have convinced themselves, yeah, well, the statists, we'll get rid of all the big business people when we get in charge. And the big business people are like, we'll get rid of all the Marxists when we're in charge. They're going to eat each other. They're going to eat each other. But first, they're going to feast on us. So what do you say we come together and we look for principles?

What the Freedom Caucus is standing for are principles. I don't know. I don't need a consultant. And in fact, I think any politician that is hiring these consultants, I think you're an idiot. I think you're an idiot. The consultants are the ones who got us here. The consultants are the ones that keep, you know, who is actually feeling what's going on? because it's really clear what's going on.

Why do we need the Republicans to be strong, have a spine, and not be part of the swamp? Let me just give you a couple of things. Let's see. Scotus, remember somebody leaked the abortion bill early? And the verdict, they were like, I do remember that. Yeah, it's been eight months. Nothing. That's not true.

People in the Supreme Court know who leaked it. Can guarantee it. Can guarantee it. They know who leaked it. They won't say because John Roberts thinks it will damage the court and the justices. Well, you're doing more damage there. And you know what? If you're not willing to find out who put people's lives in damage,

Well, then we need an agency that will. We need a group of people who say, this was wrong and cannot be tolerated because it is a terroristic act. Do you want to give us who? No, I really don't know who it is. I might. I might. Not today, but I might. We have General Millie.

We now know he hid the nuclear codes from Donald Trump and talk to Nancy. see Pelosi and said, don't worry. I've made two phone calls to the Chinese. I told him if he tries to do anything, I got the nuclear codes. He's not going to be able to do it. What are you? Is that even true? And then he goes on a couple of months later and he's responsible for Afghanistan.

And the guy hasn't been asked a single question about it. Well, that doesn't seem right. How about this? The ex-capital police boss. says that he wasn't informed on all of the intel that was being given to Nancy Pelosi. He said, we didn't get it. You think I'm the head of the Capitol Police, but the head of the Capitol Police is actually a bunch of politicians. And for some reason, they didn't tell me.

And when I finally heard about some threats, not the amount of threats that they, we now know, knew. he said, I think we need to have National Guard, and they said, we don't like the optics of that. I don't know. I think we should probably get down to what really happened on January 6th with the Speaker's Office. By the way, the FBI has raised the reward for that darn pipe bomber. It was just so coincidental. The way that happened, it was amazing. you know, and they have him on tape and everything,

but they just can't find him. So they just said, we're going to raise it up, half a million dollar reward if you can find this guy. How about this one? Hunter Biden. Can we just find out? Can we just, can we just,

can we just find out who in the FBI was protecting? Who in the FBI was going in, trying to silence people. Who was it? You know, because he's still doing it. Hunter Biden, the child support now, you know, with his hooker mama or whatever, she's like, he's got money and he's crying poor mouth to the judge. I want to see the records of the art.

They're selling for $500,000 a piece. Well, shouldn't his, I don't know, son or daughter? You know, have some child support from this guy? Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. Incredible that they're not even going after him for that. Yeah. Well, you know, there's another thing that really is interesting. The ethics watchdog protect the public's trust is now calling for an investigation of Biden officials in the connection to Sam Bankman Fried. apparently there were some slack channels between him and the White House. And as this thing started to fall apart, one of the guys who's now been arrested pulled all of the slack channels.

And they're trying to make sure that the White House didn't delete and erase all of that, which they most likely did. What was going on? This guy stole millions of dollars from people. and then gave it to the Democratic Party. I don't know. Maybe we should find out a little bit about that. How about the border? Do you think maybe we should have a Congress

that is just actually doing something about the border? Or should they do a study on it and talk about it and say next time when we have the power, we're going to do something. But comprehensively, how about getting some people who don't agree we should go to war with Russia. We are now close to sending armored weaponry to the Ukraine. Can we get Congress to give us answers? Is the CIA actually providing targets in Russia that has been reported? Is that true? Can we get somebody on that? People are leaving. They're leaving New York.

California for Texas and Florida in record numbers. Why? I'm going to give you the plan that the GOP should use to win. These are the reasons why the Freedom Caucus is standing up and saying enough is enough. and I believe the GOP, anybody who votes for a Republican, I'm not a Republican, but I generally vote for Republicans. I'm done. I'm done.

If they can't do anything, I'm done. Why would I fight for them a second longer? Back in just a minute, first let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. Here's some people who are actually fighting the good fight and they're making a difference. They have helped change school boards all over the country. country. It's Patriot Mobile. They, they actually are in business to, one, provide a great product, your mobile service, get the same coverage, also a better price and better customer service. That's their job number one. Now, the reason why they have job number two is because they thought

to themselves, what could be we could be really good at that would provide some price. that we could then take and fight this Marxist nonsense and fight for life and liberty and justice. That's what Patriot Mobile does. But if you just want to talk about the phone service, let's talk about it. You get the same coverage because they're on the same towers. You get free activation today with the offer code back. They're not woke. You'll save money.

And you'll do business with people who are standing side by side, shoulder to shoulder with you. Patriotmobile.com slash back. I don't know. I'm tired of giving my vote or giving my money to people who actually, when the door is closed, despise me. Stop it. PatriotMobil.com slash Beck or call 972 Patriot. 972 Patriot or PatriotMobil.com slash Beck.

10 seconds. Station ID. I'm going to give you the blueprint. It's really not hard to find. give you the blueprint that I think the Congress needs to understand, the GOP needs to understand. We need a new head, a new chair of the RNC. I mean, the whole thing needs to be cleaned out. Just cleaned out. It's nothing but career bureaucrats enriching themselves.

You know, I better not say, I'll let them say it on the air. I had a conversation with somebody, and it was shocking. because this is not a person that I'll have to tell you some other time. There are some people, I just don't want to violate a confidence, and I don't think it was told to be in confidence, but I just want to make sure. Sure, and that's usually the safe way to go on something like that. And usually not the way I go.

No. It must be really important. Yeah, it is. But this person was looking into the campaign funding and was horrified. buy it. They told me, you would not believe how much money, all of these consultants and all of these people, they have built a system. It doesn't matter if you win or lose. They win every time. Stop it. Stop it. It's not this hard. And I'll show you a prime example and give you the blueprint

This is the Glenn Beck program. I'm glad you're here. Monday, I flew to Florida and had dinner with the DeSantis couple, First Lady and and Governor DeSantis.

And you know what? I was really impressed by him in this way. Neither one of them sucked up to me. And when you're sitting, you know, I walk. into this room there are 500 people there and I'm coming with my son because I you know my wife is like what am I going to go and sit around with a bunch of people that I don't know and have really nothing in common with and really no I'm like okay honey thank you and so I brought my son and when I sat down I said well let's see who we're sitting next to and I go around the table because I'm one of the first in the room and I go around the table

and I look at all of the name tags, and it's Jonathan Sacks, who I was so excited, so excited for him. And I didn't have my glasses on it. And I said, Rave, who was sitting next to me here? Because it would just look like a long hyphenated name, as I couldn't see it without my glasses. And he said, Florida governor, Ron DeSantis. And I said, oh, the guy sat down and never tried to suck up. Never said, I'm a big fan. none of it, none of it.

I felt like, in this is a good thing. I felt like I was in a line in a grocery store and I happened to be in front of him or behind him and he turned around and said, hey, what's happening? I don't know, how's your day been? I mean, it was like that. I brought it to politics and he was like not impressed.

He was, he is. shares that with so many Americans, not impressed. by you. Yeah, no, but I mean, I don't mean it by me. I mean, it was, he was, he just didn't feel like a politician. And he felt comfortable, like, I don't care what you say about me. I really, I really don't. And I liked that. Then I sat and watched him take the oath of office and he was using the Bible of the revolution from my vault, which I brought as a surprise to him and said, I got the Lincoln Bible, and I have one, you know, from the Washington era, the Revolutionary Bible. And he picked the Revolution Bible.

And so he was being sworn in. And then he got up and gave his speech, GOP, listen carefully because this is everything you need to know and do. He said, freedom lives here in our great sunshine state of Florida. It lives, the GOP does not believe this. Good politicians that are serving us do believe this. It lives in the courage of those who patrol the streets and keep our community safe. It lives in the industry of those who work long hours to earn a living and raise their families. It lives in the dedication of those who teach our children.

It lives in the determination of those who grow our food. It lives in the wisdom of our senior citizens. It lives in the dreams of the historic numbers of families. families who have moved from thousands of miles away because they saw Florida as the land of liberty and the land of sanity. Whoa, what does that tell you, GOP? The guy won by 19 points. What is he doing? Listen, over the past few years, as so many states in our country grinded their citizens down,

we in Florida lifted our people up. Now, wait a minute. I thought he was a big hate monger. No, he's not giving you stuff in return for power. He's letting you do it because he believes in you. When other states consigned their people's freedom to the dustbin, Florida stood strongly as freedom's linchpin. Okay, there's the first thing.

stop violating our rights. When the world lost its mind, when common sense suddenly became an uncommon virtue, Florida was a refuge of sanity, a citadel of freedom for our fellow Americans, and even for people around the world. So what does that tell you? Step number two, stop the insanity. There are two genders. If you want to be one happy little pony, you can be one happy little pony.

But that doesn't change the eternal truth that there are only two genders. You can do whatever you want on your own time. But don't try to teach my children lies. Period. When the world lost its mind that people came to Florida, in captaining the ship of state, we choose to navigate. the boisterous sea of liberty, then cower in the calm docks of despotism.

That's one of my favorite lines. That is so great. Navigate the boisterous sea of liberty. In other words, it's a storm, man. Some of us are going to be hanging on for dear life. Some of us are going to be leaning over the rail or the rail barfing our heads off, but I'd rather be there and free than kept safe by some big state. that tells me exactly what to do.

That would be item number three, GOP, you should do. We face attacks. We take hits, but we weather the storms. We stand our ground and we do what is right. That's why the Freedom Caucus is good. There's no one with a spine anymore. We need people with a spine. and when they stand up against all odds to do your work.

And that work should be, I don't mean the GOP, I don't mean the people who voted for them. I mean Americans, which by the way, in the sea of insanity, what was it, Stanford or Princeton said yesterday that Americans is a divisive word and we should stop using it. Americans, your work, Americans, not independents, not Republicans, not Republicans, is to make sure people remain free. And here they are standing up with a spine, taking the hits, but standing their ground. He goes on, as the book of Psalms reminds us, I will not fear, though tens of thousands assail me on every side. we have refused to use poles and put our finger in the wind because leaders do not follow they lead

that's another thing gop do you notice he doesn't grandstand he doesn't say oh you know what are gonna do we're gonna take all that money one of these days from black rock where you watch we're gonna do it and then they never do it instead you're like why isn't he doing anything with black rock in the next day he's on TV going yeah I just want you to know I just signed this order we just passed it and all that money to black rock that's gone he doesn't threaten he doesn't boast really he's unimpressed with all of it there's another thing GOP stop telling us what you're going to do because you're lying to us and when honest people go to Washington and they say we're going to this, of course you're tearing them down. You can't have them win. You can't have somebody standing

because once other people notice, wait a minute, these guys are standing for basic principles. What the hell is, what's my guy doing? You're all in trouble. He said, we've articulated a vision for a free and prosperous state. Have you heard the GOP do that? Have they articulated a vision. for a free and prosperous America. Because I haven't heard it. What I hear is, we're not the Democrats. We have through persistence and hard work executed that vision. We have produced favorable results.

We're here today because the people of Florida, not the government, the people of Florida, have validated our efforts in record fashion. Florida shows results matter. We lead not by mere words, but by, deeds. Amen. Four years ago, we promised to pursue a bold agenda and we did that and we've produced results. Florida is taxed lightly, regulated reasonably, and spent conservatively. Which member of the GOP doesn't think we should tax lightly, regulate reasonably, and spend conservatively besides those in Washington? We promised we would enact

big education reforms and we delivered. He has. I'd like to see the GOP say, we're going to abolish the Department of Ed. We said we would end judicial activism by appointing jurists to understand the proper role of a judge is to apply the law as written, not legislate from the bench, and we delivered. We promised to usher in a new era of stewardship of Florida's natural resources by promoting water quality in the Everglades restoration efforts and we delivered. We said we would stand for law and order and support the men and women of law enforcement and we delivered. We promised to remedy

deficiencies in Florida's election administration and to hold wayward officials accountable and we delivered. Where is anyone in the GOP saying that? And that's got to be at the state level. Are they doing that in your state? We said we would support the areas of Northwest Florida stricken in Hurricane Michael and we delivered. And when Hurricane Ian came last year, the state coordinated a massive mobilization of response personnel, facilitated the fastest power restoration on record, and even quickly rebuilt key bridges that had been wiped out by the storm. We stood by the people of Southwest Florida

and will continue to do so in the weeks, months, and years ahead. Do you remember all of those interviews DeSantis did during the hurricane where he was standing in front of the water where they were rebuilding the bridge and he was like, I've instructed them. Yeah, I don't remember those either. Because again, GOP, he doesn't need to talk about it. People who actually do the right thing is so breathtaking to America that the word gets out. Everybody's like, did you? you hear what happened in Florida with the bridge? Did you see how fast they did that? You don't have to tout it.

It's so breathtaking and spectacular when somebody just does their job. You don't need to be on all the talk shows. Because of these and other efforts, Florida is leading the nation. Wouldn't you like to hear this from the GOP? We're number one in the United States in net immigration. In other words, more people are coming into Florida than leaving. We're number one fastest growing state. Number one in new business formations.

Number one in tourism, economic freedom, education freedom, parental involvement in education. We're number one. Number one in public higher education. That's a record we can be proud of. He then goes on to say, we have to ensure our school systems are responsive to parents and students, not partisan interest groups. There you go, GOP. we must ensure our institutions of higher learning are focused on academic excellence and the pursuit of truth, not the imposition of trendy ideology. Florida must be a great place to raise a family.

We will enact more family-friendly policies to make it easier to raise children, and we will defend our children against those who seek to rob them of their innocence. We're a law and order state. We'll conserve and treasure our natural resources. this is the winning plan. You don't need a think tank. Google Ron DeSantis inaugural speech, 2022. And it's all there.

All there. Just do that. And let's watch what happens. We gather to mourn the passing of all of your money from its place in your account into the account of cyber criminals and and the government. I mean, we should mark it. We should just make mention of it. Everything that you've ever earned can disappear this quickly.

That's why cyber criminals are out there. They are really good and they're constantly updating. This is their gig, man. And your part time, part time, part time, part time, part time job is to occasionally check and say, Is everything okay? And how many times do we get around to our cybersecurity conversation with our wife or husband? Never. Everything you do is online right now and nobody can prevent all identity theft.

And I go back to the speech on Tuesday in Florida. The federal government has gone on an inflation. Spending Binge that has left our nation weaker and our citizens poorer. It has enacted pandemic restrictions and mandates based more on ideology and politics than sound science. This is eroded freedom and stunted commerce.

It has recklessly facilitated open borders, making a mockery of the rule of law, allowing massive amounts of narcotics to infest our states, importing criminal aliens, green lighting the flow of millions of illegal aliens into our country, burdening communities and taxpayers throughout the land. It is imposed an energy policy that has crippled our nation's domestic production, causing energy to cost more for our citizens, eroding our nation's energy security and, in process, our national security. It wields its authority through a sprawling, unaccountable and out-of-touch bureaucracy that does not act on behalf of us, instead looms over us and imposes its will upon us. And the results are predictably dismal. This has caused many to be pessimistic about the country's future.

Some say that failure now is inevitable, but Florida is proof positive that we the people are not destined for failure. Decline is a choice. Success is attainable. And freedom is worth fighting for. And fight we must. We must embrace our founding creed that our rights are not grounded by the courtesy of the state, but are endowed by the hand of the almighty God. We reject the idea that self-government could be subcontracted out to technocratic elites who reduce human beings to mere data points.

We insist on the restoration of time-tested constitutional principles. Let me talk to you a lot about being prepared with My Patriot Supply.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Well, hello, America. Glad you're here.

I want to talk to you about the Pope's death, Pope Benedict. He was buried, the funeral that Joe Biden was not. not invited to attend. But then again, no one was. Only officials from Italy and his birthplace of Germany were invited to come. So he is, Joe Biden remains here in America, but is that the reason that he really wasn't going? There is a battle inside the Vatican, and I want to tell you a story that I don't think I've ever shared before on the war in the Vatican. and I want to take you through that

and tie it to what Pope Francis has just said at Christmas that there is a, what do you say, an elegant demon inside of the Vatican and a new book that is coming out that I would bet Benedict actually helped write. It was from his right-hand man and it was just announced after his death by the guy who gave him the last rights, was by his side his whole life.

He then said, oh, by the way, at the end of the month, I'm publishing this book. And it's a tell-all about the evil that was in the Vatican. I want to talk to you about a war and a deep state that I don't think anybody talks about, except those in the Vatican. And it is really important. in 60 seconds. So we've taken a pretty good beaten as a country for the past couple of years, and I'm sure you, like millions of other Americans, are feeling the effects of it. And if you're one of those people who are trying to sell a house or buy one or both, it's got to be pretty scary

right now. If you have to move or you want to move, it's got to be scary. The rates are still, believe it or not, at record lows. I mean, you might be paying 5, 6%, but that is, I mean, I remember growing up, the interest rate was 19%. And I think it's 8 or 9% is the average. So we're still lower than average. We've been living in a fluke for a while, and we're about to pay for it. You need the best real estate agent that can get you the best deal on your new house and on the house that you're selling.

It's real estate agents.itrust.com. No obligation. You just interview them yourself and you decide. Real estate agents, I trust.com. All right. So let me start.

here. Let me start at Christmas. Pope Francis made a dire warning to the Curia, the Cardinals and everybody else in the Vatican, warning them to be ever vigilant of demons lurking in the Vatican. Now, this was part of his Christmas address, which apparently he has turned into an annual airing of grievances someplace in his Christmas address, he will put some things where he's, you know, kind of upset about inside the Vatican. He'll bury that in the Christmas address. So they've adopted part of Festivus into the Vatican's Christmas? Festivus. Yeah, from, of course, George Costanza's holiday. They had the airing of grievances as part of it. That's right. Well, that's kind of what it is.

That's kind of what it is. So he said, you have to be ever vigilant of demons lurking in the Vatican. Now, he couched this, and you can read it this way, and this is probably what he meant, but listen to the whole story. He said, we could easily fall into the temptation of thinking we're safe, better than others, no longer in the need of conversion. But there is an elegant demon who does not make a loud entrance, but comes with flowers in his hand. So he says this elegant demon is now lurking among the Vatican staff. Okay. So is that just

something that he's like, hey, you know, everybody's human and we should just be careful, ever vigilant. Could be. Could be. Find it really interesting that he's using those words. Because I want to add something on top of that. Pope Benedict, who just died, his longtime personal secretary, has written a tell-all book that his publisher promised would tell the truth about dark maneuvers, mysteries, and scandals that sullied the reputation of Pope Benedict, dark maneuvers. Hmm. This is a guy who stood by Benedict for three decades. He worked with him when he was just,

you know, father, what was his name, Ratzinger. Then he was his personal secretary. He went, became the Pope's secretary. And then when Benedict suddenly left, which was extraordinarily odd. First time in what, 600 years? Yeah. It's extraordinarily odd. And the story has been that, you know, he fell and, you know, he was like,

I don't think I can do this job anymore. and that may be true. But was there anything else that was going on? This book is promising to say, yeah, there were some dark maneuvers going on. I want to add a personal story before I go into part three of this. I was at the Vatican. I've gone twice. What was the last one?

2011? Do you remember? I don't. It's a while ago, though. It's when they appointed when Ratzinger was the Pope, and he had appointed a bunch of cardinals, Dolan was one of the Cardinals that was being sworn in. And we were there, and I talked to Dolan, and I talked to many of the Cardinals. And I was supposed to meet with the Pope at that time, and it fell through at the last minute.

But I was hanging out with all these Cardinals. I think they were the good cardinals. I mean, you know, everybody has their own personality and everything else. But these guys were, they were like Mother Teresa, you know, St. Francis. They were the poorer ones and from the poorer countries. And they were just all about service. And we took a, I had so many incredible life-changing experiences there that just opened my eyes to so much. and one night it was before the cardinals were, I don't know.

Cardinaling? Cardinaling. I don't know what he was a call it. But anyway, it was the night before. And I'm in this room with all of the cardinals. Okay. And there's just a few people that aren't wearing these red robes. And Tonya and I are standing there.

And we're standing talking to these cardinals. And this one guy who was really our host that night, He was just, you know, when you meet people and you could feel the spirit on them and the kindness and everything else, you just know when you're in the presence of somebody who's really connected to the spirit. And he said to me at the time, he said, you know why this is happening. And he meant why so many cardinals were being called. And I said, no. And he said, there's a war inside the Vatican. And he said, I believe that it's a war good and evil.

He said, but there is a real war because there are many political aspects. And basically what he described to me was deep state. There was the deep state of the Vatican that was going to do, it didn't matter what a Pope even thought. And he alluded to the fact that Ratzinger or Benedict, Pope Benedict, knew this and was doing basically what Donald Trump did with the Supreme Court. He was appointing all these Cardinals because he wanted to stack the deck because, in his words, he didn't feel he had very much longer that he could fight. And I just thought maybe he's sick at the time, but

it was like a year later that he retired. And so he said, you know, he's stacking the deck. He's trying to make sure that after he's gone, there's a enough to hold back the onslaught. And he said, and it's real evil. And so we were just talking about it. And we're in this room, someplace in Rome, we're in this room that it was enormous. It was a ballroom, you know, from, I don't know, a thousand years ago. And it had a map of the world that was like two stories in a football field long.

I mean, it was unbelievable. It was like a movie. Like if you were a supervillain, you'd have a desk in the center of this room. You know what I mean? And you'd have one light at the desk and the bad guy would be sitting behind it and the camera would just show him in the whole map of the world. It was like that kind of a room. It was beautiful.

And so we're standing there and I'm just listening to what he's saying. And this guy comes in and he was one of the Cardinals and I don't want to. to identify his role, but he was very, very high up. And, man, he walked in, and he walked in with all these suits, all these politicians. And the guy said, that guy's the mayor. This guy is a, you know, I don't know, finance minister, blah, blah, blah. And I said, man, the room got chilly. and because I just felt like this is not a good guy.

When he came in, he was like, you could feel it. As much as I could feel good on the one guy, this guy. And he said, oh, oh, yeah, he's the, there's, that's the beginning. There's the head. And he said, you want to meet him? And I'm like, no, I don't want to meet him. And he said, you should. And so my wife looked at me like, why, why would we want to meet him?

And so he came up. And what the Cardinal was doing was, you just judge for yourself. Just say hello. This was the spookiest guy I've ever met. I don't remember the conversation. I just remember thinking, I want to stop talking to him and go way away from him. There is a war. And I don't think, I'm not saying this to, you know, bash the Catholics or, you know,

have you question your faith if you're Catholic or anything like that. pray for the people who are in leadership positions. What's happening in Washington is happening in all of our churches. The evil has taken a foothold, and there are good guys inside fighting. I want to get the guy who wrote this tell-all book to be on, and we're looking at another cardinal that we could get on that might be able to tell us some of the inside things that are going on that has been a little frank about some of these things.

But the last thing I want to bring to your attention is when Pope Benedict was a cardinal, he had a lot of friends and they were other cardinals. And when they released the final secret, the third secret of Fatima, which if you're not Catholic. It's just a message from heaven given to these kids, you know, right before World War 1. And it said there's a huge, Russia is the problem. It's going to spread its error throughout the world unless her heart is changed. And there's going to be a world war coming soon. And then there will be a second world war and then a final battle. And, you know, it happened years before World War I and World War II, obviously.

And then there was the third one, the third secret, if you will, about what sets up the final battle. They released this and it was kind of like, okay, that's old news. Ratzinger, who is Pope Benedict, said, and this has just been published, that, that Pope Benedict said the third secret has not been revealed in its entirety because the Pope and all those involved would not allow it to be released. Or if he was the Pope, I can't remember which it was, but the power did not want to release it because it talks about a bad counsel and a bad mass and evil. at the top and highest levels of the church. And that's the warning that was given to them in, you know, like 1910. And it leads to the end of days.

So I found it interesting that for anybody who believes in any of these kinds of things, and if you believe in evil, I find it interesting that the current Pope is talking about evil. the last pope is talking about evil but i think they're kind of pointing at each other a little bit you know i don't think they're on the same side i think they're both using evil but i think they're not talking about the same evil and aren't fighting the same evil and then to have this Fatima secret come out now according to sources it is from

the Pope that just died. I find it fascinating. And to be clear, you're saying the book that is coming out is a tell all book basically about Benedict and what was going on. And saying that he was not the guy, everybody, because they called him, you know, God's Rottweiler.

He went through a lot, you know, with the press, but also this book is saying there were internal things that were going on that I can tell you when he was the Pope, I heard at the Vatican that he was fighting real evil and there was a battle inside. It was like the deep state. And this book was, you think, intentionally withheld until after he passed. Until he died. I think this book was, I could be wrong. I could be wrong. But as I read it, he was so close. You don't write a book overnight. He just died. Right, right. So he's been writing it for months.

And this guy worked at his side his whole time. He's the guy who gave him last rights, called Pope Francis and say he's dead. I mean, he was the guy with him all the time. I would bet you that it was written with Benedict. Could be wrong. But there might be some very interesting things that come out of this book. Back in just a minute, let me tell you. about MyPillow.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Hi, Stu. Glenn? I don't have any good Vatican stories for you. I've got nothing to... You got nothing. No. You got nothing.

I've got no... Hey, I was talking to Pope Benedict one day. stories like you do. Really? Yeah. Really? Yeah. It's, yeah. You've lived a weird freaking life. I have. Yesterday. Yeah. Yesterday. It was on your show. Yeah. And you were holding Sputnik.

Yeah. And that is something, I thought about that afterwards. We've done some really weird things. There's been a lot of times that words have been said that I never thought I would hear. Ever. Right. From anybody. From anybody. Here. I've heard. Hold Sputnik. Here. Hold Sputnik. hold Sputnik was one of them. Yes. I did not think, right.

Hey, we're going to do a big event at the Temple Mount. Yeah. No. Never, never, never thought. Never expected that. Yeah. No. And then yesterday you brought Sputnik, which you purchased onto the show, along with like five

other incredible things. I got to tell you. I got to tell you. I had, I talked to somebody, you know, that was evaluating things and trying to put a price on things for, you know, for insurance purposes. And I said, so what do you think? And they just smiled at me and said, you have either a collection of stuff that will be absolutely worthless and probably soon or you'll have, you have an unbelievable collection.

And what it is is it depends on which way the country goes. This stuff is, and that's the reason why I'm collecting it, because I'll bury it. I'll bury it. I'll dig holes all over the country with my own hands to hide this stuff if need be. If the country goes awry, there are people in our own government now that would love to burn these documents, love to destroy our history and our narrative. And that's why we have them. Here, hold Sputnik.

You have to see the Stu Show from last night. You can get it on demand now at blazedtv.com to see some of the new items that we had. We talked about the Bible that DeSantis used for swearing in and also Batman's fireproof

cowl. It's the real Batman, too, not the movie guy. The real one. Anyway, Molly wrote in about her dog's experience with rough greens. She says, I wanted you to let you know how much I appreciate the product. Our dog Darby, a very large 11-year-old German Shepherd, is doing much, much better since we've been supplementing her diet with rough greens.

Her skin issues have cleared up. She seems perkyer and less lethargic. She's on joint supplements, but her joints actually seem to bother her a lot less ever since we started taking rough greens. I'll tell you, Molly, when you start feeding your dog rough greens, you watch over a series of months, and it took about a year before I really stopped seeing tremendous changes in Uno. So watch for them, because they get better and better. Rough Greens, not a dog food, it's a supplement that has everything they need it. You can get a free bag for your dog just to try out.

Make sure he likes it or she. Roughgreens.com slash Beck. Roughgreens.com slash Beck. Get your first trial bag for free, roughgreens.com slash back or call 833, Glenn 33. No rough greens for cats because cats suck. That's an official statement, apparently from Glenn Beck. I'll give you more of those at blazedtv.com slash Glenn.

The promo code is glad to save 10 months. Oh, this is, well, Stu, give me a favor. Try to find, try to find, I think this is good news. Try to find a hold in this. story because this is, sure. This is, this is epic. This is epic and it's good news feel.

Governor Kathy Hochel, who is, or Hokal, whatever her name is, from New York. I don't live there. I don't care. Hocal, but yes. Whatever. Yesterday, she signed legislation permitting the process, it's environmental friendly of composting dead people. Mm. Wonderful. Mm-hmm.

This is the known as the Mafia Act of 2023. Rather than cremating or embalbing a deceased person and placing him or her in a casket, this is natural organic reduction and evolves placing the deceased in a reusable receptacle filled with organic materials such as woodchips, alfalfa, straw, and then heating it up and putting oxygen in. in there and then allowing you know maggots and things to um you know help with the decont you know the decomposing of the body what a wonderful way to go and then they take all of the teeth and bone fragments and they grind them up and uh then you get uh i believe the equivalent of 36 bags of soil and it's wow yeah it's really really good uh they're saying a single human body can yield as much as a cubic yard of nutrient dense soil. That's fantastic.

What a blessing. And cremation uses fossil fuels. Barrel uses a lot of land and has a carbon footprint. No. This one, we just grind the teeth and the bones up. And we just put it in the flower bed. And then you can grow vegetables and then you can make

soil and green. I'm pretty sure how all that goes. I think this is how that starts. It's totally the first step to Soiling Green. It is. Right? It is. It is.

Now, some will say, this is maybe beneath the dignity of the person and the body. But I don't think so. I think composting grandma. I mean, what? We get better vegetables. We won't put, you know, carbon up into, you know, CO2. That's so dangerous. The trees use it to grow, you know.

And there's only so much CO2 that those trees can breathe in. See, and that's your way of living on, Glenn. Your body will be soil that will help a tree grow, and that's your legacy. This is sort of like a granola sort of pitch, I guess. Well, it's, quote, perfectly appropriate. for returning vegetable trimmings to the earth. There's some things I don't want to think about. And this is one of them.

Like, I don't want to think about waste disposal, a human waste disposal. I don't want to think about the process that goes on that makes. I'm glad it exists. I'm never applying. I support it. Right. I support it. Right.

Glad there are people that do it. And I would give them after a shower and a change of clothes. I would give them metals or whatever. You are swimming in that stuff to fix it. So when I flush it, we're. God bless you. Thank you. I don't want to hear or see you again.

I don't want to think about the whole process. I don't want to think about what happens before, through. I don't want to think about shaking your hand, you know, when in a week I'm at McDonald's. I don't want to think about that. I'm glad that you exist. And look, look, I understand, you know, the human body after you die. There's lots of things that happen. And I don't want to think about them necessarily.

But, like, it does seem like a weird stance to tell you. you know, like I guess you could make the argument, look, if you happen to be some person, you know, you're some green protester who's been gluing yourself to things to protest the climate for your entire life. Maybe this seems really enticing, right? And you know, you want to do that to yourself, as you point out, it seems demeaning to me in some way, but like, it's, I guess it's your choice. I guess it's your choice. And, you know, I think, I mean, if we could just get over the body is temple, the body is, you know, something sacred. If we can just get over that.

I don't know. As a farmer, I mean, you got a relative that dies. I got a wood chipper. Let me just chip them off into the, I mean, it's good for the soil. Like, again, I don't, to be clear, I understand like fertilizer has a lot of components. I would not like to think about, right? Yeah. But I really, like, if given.

the choice would prefer my vegetables not grown in a decomposed human body's soil. And I know, like, I know there's a lot of sciencey reasons that I should not care about this because, hey, you know, the bottom line is there's all sorts of stuff you don't want to think about when your food is being processed. Well, I will, I still. I will tell you, I mean, it's, you know, waste products, uh, you know, are used as a fertilizer. Exactly. Um, and, uh, you know, I don't, I don't want to think about that. There's something a little different, though, about a human body. And by the way, I've never, I've never driven down the street and all of a sudden

seen this glorious Garden of Eden that is a cemetery that I'm like, what are they putting in the soil that is making that look like that? Well, I mean, that's their point, Clint, because they're right there locked in these boxes and they can't help the soil. But like, I don't know. It takes about eight years for it all to got to go away. they say for the body. Right, but the body's still in the box, right? The box is. Well, depends on what the box is. I mean, if you're Elvis, yeah, sure. Right. You know, I mean,

I'm with people who are like, just put me in a, you know, put me in a wood box, even a cardboard. I mean, just, it does, you don't need to spend $5,000. Why do I need a pillow? I'm really not, it's not like I'm tossing and turning in there. Oh, geez, I can't fluff this pillow up. I mean, even if I have the pillow, I can't get my arms up to the pillow to refluff it once it goes flat. So stop, stop. I could see that. But I mean, I guess you should be able to make your own choice. I do think it's odd to make this like a big public pronouncement though.

Like, this is the type of thing you put in the like the, I don't know. Was it, I guess it was illegal in New York? Was it? Yeah. So you don't compost people. I mean, this is, I mean, I think if you, I can't believe we live in a time where we are saying, here, hold Sputnik. Right. Yes.

That is a weird. That is no weirder than, no, a man cannot have a baby. Or no, we don't compost people. But I think, though, if you, if this was something central to you and you cared about. You should be able to do whatever you want with your dead body other than like, I don't leave it on my porch. I'm not saying, not nothing. But could I leave it on my porch? I mean, no.

No. There's some sanitary, right? There needs to be a respect for the human body. But like, you could argue that, you know, again, this is not my argument, but you could argue cremation is weird too, right? What do you mean? You're going to turn my body into ash and then keep it on your. on your vanity board. Sure.

Like, I think that, yeah. I mean, I know. You might think that's weird, but it's something that is part of society. You know, I know God is all powerful, but I know that, you know, I get my body back at some point. You know, if you believe in resurrection, you're going to get your body back at some. I would rather not have it a puzzle where God was like, okay, wait a minute, we have this and I had to get it at the bottom of the ocean because you just sprinkled

him higgledy-piggledy off the back of a ferry boat. Thank you for that. I mean, I know he's capable of anything, but I'd rather not make him work. You obviously think that's kind of a weird thing. And look, I think you could look at that and say, hey, it is kind of a different, like a... But so is burying. No, my dad was... No, my dad was...

Every part of this is weird. I know. My dad was... Yeah. Yeah. Every part of this is weird. And there's so, if you are like, if you are... If there's a dead animal, a dead horse, you would bury the horse.

Okay? You'd bury the horse. You wouldn't... You wouldn't like, you know what? Hey, mama. Come on. Bring out those potato. peelings. They're going to put him on the horse.

Oh, he's going to be great for the garden. I mean, I think that happens. You're telling me there's not a bunch of granola weirdos out there composting their horses. That's absolutely happening. In fact, I think... Let me tell you something. If those granola weirdos own

horses, I'm already pissed. Really? They own... Who are you to own a horse? That's true. How dare you? They just trot around the field that you've fenced in. They better not have. fenced it in. I don't know. I think if you're weird enough to want to compost yourself, I think that's a, you should

be able to do it. It's a weird. Maybe it's a libertarian in me coming out and just saying, look, you want to compost yourself? Go ahead. You go go do that. I do think it's weird that like it's the main thing Kathy Hockel has achieved. I guess you know what? Hey, I got human composting done.

People have been clamoring for that for decades. I, you know, I guess I wouldn't be. against it, if I just didn't think we were cheapening human life everywhere. It does. I mean, it's almost like, you know, you go in, I mean,

you know, hey, I got to go and get my checkup at the VA. And all of a sudden you find yourself on a conveyor belt that's leading to somebody's garden. You know what I mean? I mean, we should slow down on devaluing the human body

and, you know, oh, just put some chips in it. It's just as good. In fact, it's better. Oh, oh, is it? We're at least six months from that conveyor belt thing. I mean, come on. Exactly right. Exactly right. That's a little pessimistic.

I believe we can move a little faster on that. Robert wrote about his experience with Relief Factory. He said, I didn't think the Relief Factory was working until I ran out mid-month. After about three days, the pain was back where it started. Can I tell you something, Robert? This is exactly what happened to me. I didn't run out. I did the three-week quick start.

At the end of three weeks, I'm like, it hasn't made any difference at all. Within a couple of days, I'm like, ow, ow, ow, ow. Yes, it does. And it's gotten better for me the longer I take it. Anyway, he said, when I stopped taking it, I realized just how much relief factor was helping. It's a great test for me to see how relief factor works.

Robert, let me tell you something else. A year later, because I will run out, and it comes all about. It comes back. So it's amazing. You don't feel it. It doesn't space you out or anything. And it takes care of so much pain. Three-week quick start. Just try it. 1995. It's trial pack. Thousands of people have tried it. 70% of them go on to order more month after month, which says a lot. It's relieffactor.com. 8-4004 relief. 800, the number four relief or relieffactor.com. Feel the difference. Join the conversation. 888. 727 back the Glenn Back program. Welcome to the program. Hey, Stu, I can give you another story. Here, hold Sputnik. Sure. I think we should use that as, you know, things we never thought we'd say. That's one of them. Here, hold Sputnik. And here's another one. This one comes from the Guardian, the newspaper out of the UK. And, you know, there's,

They're just, you know, talking about all of the good things that they satanic temple has accomplished. There's something that I never thought I'd say. All the good things the satanic temple has done. The temple has tackled prayer in classrooms, religious holiday displays, the distribution of Bibles and schools. It's now taking on another fundamental issue, the right to abortion. They are now fighting the extreme form of Christianity that wants to protect unborn life. Those extremists. I mean, you just want to protect little babies?

My gosh. Okay, keep your cross at home, weirdo. So here's the thing. The Satanic Temple has filed lawsuits in Indiana, Idaho, Texas, and Missouri. in an effort to gain rights to religious abortion rituals. Religious, this I'm quoting, abortion rituals that the Satanic temple said they have a right to do. Now, I go down a little further in the story here, and they say the Satanist clarified that Satanist don't believe in Satan as a literal demonic being. but just a symbol of rebellion in opposition to authoritarianism.

Okay, well, that would be Solalinsky, but I don't remember Saul Alinsky and his religious abortion blood rituals. No? I mean, if you don't believe in Satan, but you call yourself a Satanist and you're part of the Satan temple, you know, my own to think about renaming it, because I'm wondering who you're, you know, you might not think about renaming it because I'm wondering who you. you're doing the religious blood ritual with these unborn babies, uh, two. You know, I think Satan's really clear. If you're a little misty on that, you might want to, you know, you're going to clear that up. You think. Yeah. You're willing to take that stance. I mean, I think I would be standing in the temple going, hey, if we don't believe in Satan, what's with the spooky dark room where we're killing babies. I'm just in a religious ritual.

Who are we sacrificing those two? It's not a bad question. It's not like just not when I thought we'd ever have to ask out wow. Right. Yes. You know what I mean? And then have people somewhere in the country right now. There is somebody going, hey, that makes sense to me. Okay. Okay. Okay. Never.

Yeah. Again, there are lines, right? Like you can have, you can believe lots of things. but if you're doing blood sacrifice of little children, I'm going to go ahead and say that's over the line. I think so. I think so, but I'm, you know, I'm an old movie buff,

you know, I saw all those Satan movies where they were, where they were trying to pigeonhole and stereotype, you know, these blood rituals is something spooky. Oh, yeah. You know?

And so I'm old school. It's embedded in the culture now. We have this negative perception. When really all they're doing, they are just really good. This is a collection of landscape. capers. And they just want to put those babies into a, into a wood chipper and compost them. Can you imagine how rich that soil would be? Oh my gosh. Wouldn't that be?

Gang, you could not be further away from truth, any kind of truth, than living in America today. Well, no, you can't. It'll be living in America in. a week from now. It will be even further from the truth unless we hold the line. Let me talk to you a little bit about Jace Medical. The American Society of Healthcare Pharmacists, the group that tracks the production of medications around the world, has declared a worldwide shortage of antibiotics, specifically amoxicillin. Well, that's kind of an important drug, right? I want to talk to you about Jace Medical, the Jace case from Jace Medical. It is a great way to keep yourself prepared for the worst.

They have five different courses of antibiotics that you can use to treat a lot, a long list of bacterial infections. You can have it on hand. Get the Jace case. You'll get five different kinds of flights of antibiotics. Please check this out at Jace, J-A-S-E-Medical.com. Jace Medical. Use the offer code Beck 10 at checkout and save $10 off your order.

freedom caucus is standing up against the lack of any plan of any strategy to get us back to a constitutional republic. They just would like us to follow the Constitution, maybe from time to time. And I gave you an outline of a plan in our number one of today's podcast. For the next couple of minutes, I want to introduce you to somebody who is a conservative activist that is actually doing something. And I want to encourage you to join him in this effort. We, for some reason, the GOP doesn't do all of the legal things we can do. When you hear ballot harvesting, you think, oh boy, that's bad.

Well, no, no, no. Legal ballot harvesting is fine. And in some states, there's legal ballot harvesting. We don't engage in that. It's legal, and we don't engage in that. Well, where do you think they're beating us on the margins? Where do you think they're beating us? Why aren't we doing that?

Well, I got a guy on Next who says, we are doing it, and I like some help. We talk to him. Next. First, Michael wrote in about his experience with Relief Factory. He says, Relief Factor helped to almost completely eliminate my elbow pain. when I couldn't find any other solutions. It's a great product and has helped me with a lot of other aches and pains. Since I started Relief Factor, I feel like I've got more energy and generally I feel better.

Thank you so much for a great product. You're welcome, Michael. Thanks for writing in. Relief Factor, it doesn't work for everybody, but about 70% of the people who try it go on to order more because it has four key ingredients that fight inflammation in your body, which is ibuprofen only has one. This has four different angles that it hits inflammation. And that's why it works for so many people. Works for me.

Try it. Relieffactor.com. Relieffactor.com. Or call 800 for relief. 800, the number four relief. Relieffactor.com. Feel the difference. Scott Pressler is with us now.

And we were having a conversation. Gosh, a while back he was on, I think we were talking about a cleanup day in Baltimore, and he was he was part of that. He is joining us now to talk about ballot legal ballot harvesting. How you doing, Scott? Thank you so much for having me. Good morning. You bet.

So you are, I love this. You're an Eagle Scout, aren't you? Yes, sir. Yes, you are. Yes, you are. I think I remember that from, oh, we're going to clean up. we're going to clean up Baltimore. Okay, try not to get stabbed to death.

But now you're on to legal ballot harvesting. Tell me what it is, where it's legal, what the difference between legal and legal is, and why it's important. Well, first, if I may, I want to explain why we're going to engage in legal ballot harvesting. And we saw this in Arizona.

we saw this in Harris County, Texas, that, you know, 30% of Republican voters are going to vote early or do mail-in, but the strong majority, 70% are going to wait until election day. And we saw in Arizona that by waiting for that one day to vote, it only took one day of tabulation errors and machine errors. And in Harris County, we had polling locations that ran out of paper, ballots as early as 730 a.m. on election day. And so my argument, I mean, you wouldn't expect more than, I don't know, 150 people to come and vote. Exactly. It wasn't just negligence, in my opinion. And therefore, my argument to the American people is, look, we cannot simply wait for election day because there are now months of early voting. I mean, literally, in my argument,

my Commonwealth of Virginia, we have 45 days of early voting. So that means that we must encourage early in person, early voting, mail-in-voting, election day voting, and where it is legal, engage in ballot harvesting. So explain, because I know you're writing a manual on this, if I'm not mistaken. Explain what ballot harvesting means. Sure. So ballot harvesting just refers to the practice of somebody else, returning a ballot on behalf of a voter. So ballot harvesting could mean my turning in my mom's

absentee ballot for her because she's either disabled or sick or out of the country, whatever the reason may be. That's ballot harvesting. And I really want to differentiate because when people think of ballot harvesting, they probably think of like, oh, one person is turning in a thousand ballots. Right. Certainly, that is ballot harvesting. But I want to say that each of us could actually become a ballot harvester by even doing one ballot. I mean, that can double the amount of Republicans that are actually engaging in elections that each of us do legal ballot harvesting. And here's an example in Oregon. I just got off the phone with Oregon and I will be visiting soon, by the way.

Oh, sorry for that. Hey, we got to bring the fight to even the blue. Oh, I know, I know. I know. And half that state is red, red, red, red. Exactly. It's only these cities that control them, but we're going to change that. And in Oregon, you can create your own unofficial drop box locations. So literally, I could have a house party. I can have a drop box location at a gun shop, a gun show, a church. If President Trump or Governor Ron DeSantis came and did a rally, I could set up a drop box location and have every Trumper and Republican. turn in their ballot at the rally and then give them information on how to chase ballots for other people. And it was the successes of California, where we did legal ballot harvesting, New York, where we did legal ballot harvesting, and the state of Florida, that is the reason why we have a Republican narrow majority today. So I am writing a ballot harvesting manual.

I predict that I'll be done within the next two weeks. And I'm going to start making this available to conservatives across the country so they know the rules. They know the regulations. And we're going to play the same game the Democrats have done in order to elect Republicans going into 2023 and 2024. This is what's so frustrating because I don't want to do anything illegal. I want to make sure that every valid ballot is counted. and is accounted for. But we are not even doing the things you're allowed to do that are legal to do.

We don't, we just, we let them master things. And then they always take it into the dirt. But if we even want to be competitive, we have to do everything that is legal to do. Because they are just outmaneuvering us. Well, and I'd like to expand upon that as well, because for example, in the state of Colorado, any person, you don't even have to be a citizen, I can turn in up to 10 absentee ballots in the state of Colorado. But here's the kicker. In Wyoming, there are no laws or statutes that prohibit ballot harvesting whatsoever. Wyoming is one of the bloodest of red states. So therefore, here's the methodology or the thinking that we have to have going forward. We as the Republicans are going to engage in legal ballot harvesting where it is applicable,

and in states that we control the governorship and the legislatures, we should move to ban ballot harvesting in those states. So, for example, why is it not banned in North Dakota or South Dakota or Wyoming or, et cetera? There's only one state in the entire country that does not allow for a ballot harvesting, and that's Alabama. And I think that's- Holy cow. I thought this was, I didn't realize that it was legal everywhere.

So define illegal ballot harvesting. Well, it's actually very nebulous and ambiguous. I'm not going to name names because I don't do that. But I called an elections office in a blue state. And I asked, are there any laws or statutes that prohibit another person from turning in a ballot for somebody else. And the only answer I got was the voter has to be the one that signs the ballot. And I said, well, you know, could I mail in the ballot for somebody on their behalf? And the answer I got was, well, we're not going to know who mailed in a ballot regardless. And I don't like that

answer. I don't like that. There's no chain of custody. And it's so ambiguous. And there are so many loopholes and reading all the laws that the majority of these laws don't even talk about drop boxes. And so I think there's a lot of room that we can use these laws to our advantage. And again, I'm not doing anything illegal. This is all going to be by the book and making sure that where things are prohibited, we will not engage. And where things are legal, we will engage. Yeah, we have to engage where we can. I would love for it to be day only. show up at the ballot box voting. I would love that, but that's not where we are.

I would love no drop boxes. I think those are a nightmare. You have to put the ballot in. If it's a three-week thing, you have to show up. You have to be the one that put it in. But that's not we're dealing with. So if that's not the law, then we must engage in what everything that is legal to do. Absolutely. Well, and look at Pennsylvania, for example, one last reason why we must do early voting is by the time that Federman and Dr. Oz had their first and only state, 500,000 Pennsylvanians had already voted. And four out of those five voters were Democratic voters. So they were already banking votes while the majority of Republicans were waiting. And the last thing that I want to say, Glenn, is just, just,

Despite what happens with the R&C vote on January 27th, I am going to be working with a pact to create an infrastructure for absentee voting and early voting that's going to engage in states like Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, all of the swings to make sure that the GOP, if they don't have an infrastructure, that we will have one outside of the Republican Party to ensure the job gets done. Good. I have to tell you this is why you make your kid become an eagle. An eagle scout. This is what you get out of it in the end, somebody who will actually get it done and do it right. So, Scott, please send me a copy of the book. We'll have you on. Is it possible then that where your state is voting and you can have a drop box that we could all have like a Tupperware party? or a, I could do like, I don't know, we could do a special show that is only on that night and you get special access if you have a party at your house and they fill them all out and that group can take those then and turn them in.

Is that possible? Is that legal? Absolutely. There are some states that we're going to have to kind of figure that out. But let me tell you, Nevada, Oregon, New York. York, California, yes, we can have those Tupperware parties. Well, then we're going to. Then I strongly advise, if you're not moving, then just,

let's have a Tupperware party. I know what I'm saying? Find all the, you know who they are. In New York, there's like five conservatives. So you know who they are. But thank you so much, Scott. I appreciate it. And we will be in touch.

Please keep us informed along the way so we can help. I will. be getting a signed copy of the ballot harvest. That's what I was looking for. That's what I was open for. Thank you, Scott. I appreciate it. That's Scott Pressler.

And again, nothing illegal. I want transparency. But as long as things remain on the books, we have got to beat them at their own game when it comes to legal votes. Have to do it all. Have to do it all. All right. Back in just a minute. These days, your personal information is floating all around the place on the internet. In the era of social media where platforms like Instagram have become the top app cybercriminals use to run their online scams,

you need to be prepared to protect yourself in every way you can. Here's one thing you can do, and it's the easiest thing you can do. You can hire somebody else to watch for you. You can get the people at LifeLock who I think they're the best in cybersecurity. They've been in it since the very beginning. I mean, they were doing it like, people will steal your credit card. You're like, I'll stand on the street corner and shout my social security number out. What difference does it make?

Well, it makes a lot of difference, especially now. They have preventative measures to keep you safe and prevent anything from happening.

A couple interesting things about that approach, Glenn, on engaging in these things that the laws essentially you might not like.

Number one, you know, the best way to get these things changed is to engage in them. Because the reason why ballot harvesting is legal and why it's encouraged and it's all in all these blue states is because Democrats feel they get an advantage out of it. They believe their winning elections because. of it. That's why it's there. So if you go there and you play on that field and you take that advantage away and maybe get an advantage yourself, all of a sudden, they're

going to want those laws to go away, and honestly, that's the best outcome of all of it. Look at what happened. They say, you can't be on network television. You can't do these things. You know, you go find your own place on the internet when it was a joke. Now it's not a joke. And

the right dominates. We dominate because we had to. And now they want to shut it all down. Exactly. When they had the big advantage at the beginning, they didn't want to shut it down. Of course, it's free speech. Correct.

Now that goes away. Secondarily, and it's one of them over, you know, obviously people have their feelings about the 2020 election. We know that. But one of the more compelling pieces of evidence, if you don't think it's stolen, is the idea that when you look at all 50 states from 2016 to 2020, almost all of them, Donald Trump underperformed in almost all the states from 2016 to 2020. And you'd think like, well, if you're stealing an election, you're not stealing votes in like, I don't know, Alabama, right?

Like, why did he underperform by almost the same percentage in almost every state? And in fact, he actually performed better in swing states. So again, if you're stealing the election, it would be weird to steal more votes in the other states. So, you know, and you can believe that or you're not believe it. But one of the things that most interesting part of that analysis is there is one state where he performed totally out of line with almost every other state. 49 of the 50, he's right in a very small window of how he performed in relation to 2016. One state is different. One.

That state is the state of Florida. It is also the one state that Donald Trump outwardly said it was okay to vote by May. He opposed it all over the country. But when he first started opposing it, people in Florida said, wait a minute, you don't understand how many older voters you have that are going to vote by mail. You don't want to say that to people in Florida. And Trump came out and said, hey, not in Florida. Florida, they do it right. It's okay in Florida to vote by mail.

And it was by far his best performing state in the 2020 election. I hate early ballots. I hate early ballots. I hate voting by mail. But I got to tell you, if we don't, we lose every time. If you do not engage in it, you will lose. The market right now, the market of voters are saying, you know, I kind of like voting early. I kind of like voting by mail. Now, fight hard to get those laws changed. Yes. But once the rules of the game are in place, you better play by them. It's like, you know, there are people who, uh, but, you know, I know you're a huge NBA fan, Glenn. And it's like, there were people, there were people coaches who were against the three-point shot coming into play back in the day. And they said, I don't like this newfangled thing. It's silly.

It's not authentic. It's not pure basketball. It's not metal arc lemon. Right. Sure. And so they decided to not go after players who could shoot it. And they didn't design their offense to play with it. And over time, those coaches went extinct because people figured out, hey, this shot that's worth three.

points is better than the other shots that are worth two points. They designed offenses around it. They spaced the floor differently. People like Steph Curry came in. Now, that's almost all they shoot. If you are going to be a holdout and say, look, I don't want to play with a three-point shot, you're going to lose. Now, every offseason, you can go to the NBA and say, stop the three-point shot.

It's stupid. And once you get that change done, you can go back to playing your old way. But you can't play that way when the rules are the other way. You will lose every single time. Well, that's why I don't make holes in one when I golf. Because a hole in one, you should get like 10 points for that. Right. And they only give you one.

So you don't go for them. So I don't go for them. I mean, it's not a high score wins. How good golfer are you? Are you a good golfer? Oh, my. Do you lose every time? Do I look like a good golfer?

You know, of all the sports, I can see you playing. Oh, come on, more than bowling? Okay, not moving. Yeah. The Glenn Beck program. Hey, some really famous traders, gold, traders, precious metals, JC Parents, who runs All-Starcharts.com indicated just recently gold may reach $5,000 an ounce sooner than we might expect, maybe by the end of the year.

Swiss Asia Capital CIO claimed that it'll reach $4,000 an ounce this year. I hope that doesn't happen because that means. other really bad things are happening. But it is a hedge against insanity. That's what gold is for. When everything else is going down the tube, gold is there. And it's stable. And that's why the price of gold goes up.

This is the Glenn Beck program. Thank you so much for listening. It is Thursday. I don't know about you, but I mean, I came to work yesterday for the first day.

These three-day work weeks, everybody should have them. Yeah. Everybody should have them. I mean, you know, you could work hard like Johnny Carson used to and do four nights. But three really is the secret. Maybe two. The only thing I don't like about your schedule this week is you're doing three in a row. I think you should spread them out a little bit

Like over a month Yeah That would be good I could do three shows a week But over a month We should talk about this at some more There is a real movement going on Four or four day work week

And I think it's real I think it's going to I think it's coming I think we're going to have it You know you know why we will Because I mean Did you see the McDonald's here in Texas That there's not a human

In the store Yep No human Well yeah Like you go in One person is like Load the machine They're cooking the stuff

right, but that you're, there's no cashiers. No, I think they're overseeing the cooking. Yeah, they're just, they're just like machine working. Yeah. Okay. And like they, it's like a, it was an old bank, I believe, right? And you walk, you go through the drive-thru and like it comes down a shoot and you just get your food. Yeah, there's like nobody.

And I mean, that is coming. We've been talking about this and it was like, you know, you're not going to put machines on. Yeah. Well, you know what? By people not willing to work. You know, I am still. still working on my house. How long until it's done?

Do you have any idea? Two weeks. A couple weeks. And the thing is, the contractors cannot get people to work. So in my situation, I have a contractor who has started working with five other contractors in the area. and they're all the bosses and the owners and stuff. And they're just working together as a crew.

They'll go work on my house for a week. And then they'll go to somebody else's house. And then they'll go to somebody else's house. And they're sharing the bird because they can't get anybody to work. I mean, who can we please? America. You know, there is something. And I don't think the younger generation understands.

You get self-worth out of working. You do. You feel better about yourself. You just do. From the guy who just said he wants to work three-day work weeks. I've already done it. I've already done all that hard work. I did that for about 20 minutes in 1987. Yeah. You're all set. I'm set. You're all set. Okay. But I do actually think there is a real movement of that coming. It will happen because of all of the jobs that are going to be lost. I think that's part of it. I think that's one of the ways society reacts to the mass automation.

Have you been following the chat GPT stuff? Oh, yeah. Oh, I've got to show you something. Yeah. I asked it, I asked it, can you tell me about Glenn Beck? And it put all the stuff. And then I said, is, is he a good guy or a bad guy? And it, you know, gave me a bunch of gobbledy gook that was like, you know, we can't tell.

We're, you know, we're not judges. We're just here as a machine. But then I asked it to find information on Afghanistan. And it actually kind of argued with me that Glenn Beck didn't involve his audience and they didn't do anything in Afghanistan to rescue people. Okay. You asked it about Afghanistan as relates to you. Correct.

Yeah. And it said it has no access to any of that information. That information. is available. Why is this chat box that is, Google is afraid of it because

Google said it's going to replace us. Okay. It has no access to that information. Don't fear the machine. Fear the programming of the machine. Yeah. No, it's true. And I think, too,

in addition to just how it will manipulate information, because a lot of people are using it that way. They're asking chat GBT GBT questions, right? Like, hey, give me this. And they're getting what they feel are better results than you can find at Google, right? I mean, I run it simultaneously doing this show to see what

it says compared to you. Yeah. And it's got to be much better. It's got to be better. It's much better. And all it needs is two double A battery. I can achieve that. But, you know, it's also a creator. And what's interesting about it is like,

you could say, write me a story about Glenn Beck going to the moon in the style of Agatha Christie and you'll just, it will just write one in seconds. And like now they're talking about these many jobs of people who write content online, whether it's promotional content or news content

or creative content, you can just farm them out to chat GBT and it gets you something pretty close. So do a really good result. almost instantaneously. We are at the place. We should go back and get that Ray Kurzweil interview and the interview with the Google guys.

Remember? Eric Schmidt. From Google. Yeah, we should go back and look at those because all the things we talked about and I was like warning against. And I'm like, so what do you think it's going to happen here?

It's all happening now. And I was thinking about this with Ray Kurzweil. When he was on, this is 10 years ago maybe, and I said to him, aren't these things going to make us weaker? Because, for instance, right now, you just ask Google any question. No, nobody looks anything up anymore. And you don't even, you know, you used to have to work for it.

What was the name of that guy? Yeah. And you'd get people involved and then you'd have it close and then you worked for it. You know what I mean? And that work helped you remember it a second time. Now you don't have to remember anything. Hey, Google, what is blah, blah, blah. And it will, I'm sorry for that if I said your, yeah, right.

Your device off. Sorry about that. Sorry. But it, you know, it weakens us. If you start taking and producing everything, all the creative, you are nothing in a generation. You're nothing but a cog in the wheel. Mm-hmm. And you also don't know what's true, right?

Like, for example, there's a bunch of people out there, very few in general sense, but there's sort of a movement out of there to own your own media, right? Like if you want a movie or a series, right, buy the DVD, have physical media. Because if you just buy the stuff online, you never know what's going to happen with it. It's kind of true, right? So you go back and, you know, it's always sunny in Philadelphia. A series has been on for, I think, 16 years, 16 seasons. they've now banned five or six of the episodes for some sort of ridiculous standard of

of awokeness on a program that is wildly unwoke intentionally that literally in multiple episodes uses the N-word like it's that offensive some of those episodes are still online but other episodes where you know one of the characters you know she thinks she's a comedian and she comes up with a terrible character that is offensive racial stereotype. Again, it's not being praised in the series. It's being mocked. But they've banned these because she wears blackface or something.

It's the idiocy and the double standard. But again, that show no longer exists if you don't have physical media. I mean, you could dig it up somewhere online. But what you purchased, you no longer have purchased. Think about that when it comes to a fact argument. A book will tell you, the books that you, documents you keep saving, right, Glenn? You keep purchasing and saving to make sure that they don't go away. Those documents exist. You can look at them and you can see them. And they were, at least

at one point online. But what happens when one of those documents is offensive? What happens when one of those documents doesn't support the narrative? What happens when one of those documents needs to be censored for whatever reason? And you can't find it anymore. And the history changes a little bit. And maybe Glenn wasn't a guy who was helping people in Afghanistan escape. He was making the problem much worse and in the way of government officials. When those things change, there's no way to know. And if all you're doing is asking, I won't name the devices, because they'll all go off and yell at you. You mean like Alexa? Right. Yes, like that one. Because that's what my kids do. I see it happen all the time. I know. I know. Instead of trying to remember it, they're just like,

hey, Sarah. Sarah. Sarah. Hey, Sarah. What's the answer to this? What time is this happening? What's the, you know, and it's like that is a problem because you're not, you're not internalizing it. It's not being held by you. You don't know the knowledge. It's just like I can access it whenever I need to when this device is there.

And what happens when you can't access the information? I mean, that is coming at some point just because the world will break down at some point. It will. I mean, it might be a thousand years. from now. Could be tomorrow. Could be in a way we don't expect. Right. But what happens when you can't access that information? You stand around the machine and keep pushing the button going food, food, food, food,

Brando. Food. Yeah. And you just mentioned the Ray Kurzweil interview that we did years ago. I mean, what happens when we get to the singularity? I mean, that's down the line, but when the information is just like, I'm going to access this pod of information and it's going to be implanted essentially into my brain, matrix style, right? Transhumanism is coming faster than you think. Right.

When that happens, again, who's controlling what you're importing? How do you know what you think and what the algorithm wants you to think? You're so scurred. I mean, we are. It's just, it's just. It's crazy. It's just crazy that we're not talking about these things. By the way, we got to get to the good news.

Let me take a quick break and we'll come back with some really good news. Monday night, you know, I think a lot of the country was a little in shock on what happened. Sure, with tomorrow, Hamlin, yeah. And we have some good news on that. We'll do that in just a minute. It's time to take your pet experience to the next level. You love your dog. You want him to be both healthy and happy.

and that's why maybe you should try rough greens. Now, if you have a cat, you know, who cares? But dogs? I started feeding my dog, Uno, Rough Greens over a year ago. As I've told you many times on the program, he is a completely different dog. He was like a puppy again. I mean, I think it gave him probably at least a year on his life.

I mean, I don't have any data that would back that up. I just feel like. Like he changed and he became younger and healthier. And this is where he is now is kind of where he was, what was it, two and a half years ago, three years ago when I started giving him Rough Greens. I think it bought him time and it's been good time with the family. The folks at Rough Greens are so confident your dog is going to love this. It's not a dog food.

It's a supplement that you put on the food. They want to give you a free bag, just a little trial bag, for a couple of days. your dog can try it. You make sure that he likes it. If they like it, then, you know, you'll get the next bag. And then you just start watching the changes over the months. It's amazing. Roughgreens.com slash Beck.

Really encouraging reports from Damar Hamlin. His situation, of course, the NFL player, collapsed on the field, had to be resuscitated twice on the field before being removed by ambulance. Wow. Here's his latest update. Demar Hamlin opened his eyes last night and is responsive. Truly incredible. One thing that is very clear from speaking to those close to him, they are endlessly appreciative of the medical care given to Hamlin on the field. and then over the last 72 hours, DeMar Hamlin has also been gripping the hands of those close to him.

A very positive sign. Okay, so here's the thing. He was, the reason why we didn't have updates is because they put him in an induced coma and they needed to lower his body temperature so his body wouldn't swell. You know, his heart wouldn't swell, his body wouldn't swell. So they could treat things, but they had no idea until they started to, pull him out of that coma if it was working at all. So apparently it did work, at least to some extent. And as he, you know, this is a hard comeback. Yeah. Look, you're still talking about someone

in critical condition and intensive care. So you don't want to make any pronouncements of optimism that are true. But this is a very good development. And you're right. The way they do this, it's really fascinating where they, they cool the body down so much so there's no swelling. And then very slowly warm it back up. Yeah, basically kind of like putting him on to frost over a very long period of time a couple days. They did this to Walt Disney too, you know. No, I don't think he's, no, he was in the freezer and oh, he'll be, oh, there's somebody

right now that's so pissed at Disney. They're like, I am, I'm putting him not on the frost. I'm putting him on high. And don't do that. I will tell you this. If I know anything about the current state of the Disney Corporation, they put him in the microwave about 20 years ago. with foil

yeah it's sad but true wrapped him in aluminum foil and turned that thing on for three hours because I don't ever want to hear from that guy ever again it's so sad but it's totally unrelated to the

positive developments here but I was talking to my wife the other day we were planning a family vacation for later in the year and you know of course the kids we went to Disney land right before COVID and they're right before COVID

and they're right in the primary era of wanting to go to Disneyland. And like, I was like, I mean, should we consider Disney again? She's like, no, I will not give them any of my money. Like, I mean, that is, I won't. What does, and you are the ultimate Disney guy. I won't do it. You literally love Disney and the history of Disney.

And you're done. It's my favorite place to go in any place of the world because I love the history of it. I love the mechanics. I love all the engineering of it, everything. and I will never, never give them a dime. No, nope. That's incredible. It's got to be hitting them.

Of course, you see a change at the top of the organization. I don't know that this is going to be a positive change, by the way. But, you know, you get a new CEO or the old CEO is the new CEO back in. How much impact is this? It's got to be massive to Disney. Well, what was it I saw yesterday? Half the country feels this way. Hollywood lost.

What was it? A trillion dollars in revenue. new last year, just to their stock and everything else. The entertainment industry lost a buttload, and it doesn't seem to affect them. No, it doesn't. They just constantly, you know, assign responsibility to something else. It's the new technology, it's more competition, and some of that is true. But it's also this.

It's also you, you want to do a better job and have your bottom line go up. Get out of Hollywood and live in a regular small town for a while and just see what real life is like for most of America.
