The Glenn Beck Program - Obamacare Scandal Is WORSE than We Thought | Guests: Allie Beth Stuckey & Christopher Rufo | 12/4/25

Episode Date: December 4, 2025

A suspect has now been arrested in connection with the pipe bombs that were planted near the DNC building just ahead of the January 6 riot. America is being weaponized, Glenn argues, by bloated and co...rrupt government programs like Obamacare. Republics fall apart when citizens begin to defend the crooked programs and the politicians who implemented them. Glenn calls out the GOP for not taking advantage of the power Republicans were given. Glenn reacts to a clip of Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussing the threat that radicalized Islam is to America. Glenn breaks down his upcoming George AI and what went into designing it. If you could talk to George Washington, what would you ask him? BlazeTV host of “Relatable” Allie Beth Stuckey joins to discuss the ongoing threat of Islam and whether or not the GOP is doing enough to fight back against that threat. BlazeTV host of “Rufo & Lomez” Christopher Rufo joins to discuss how Minnesota taxpayers were unknowingly funding the terror group Al-Shabaab.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Starting point is 00:04:53 All right. So we're just getting some information in just before we went on. The news has broken about the FBI. They have arrested a suspect in the case involving the pipe bombs left near the headquarters of the DNC and the Republican National Committee the night before January 6th. The bombs were placed on January 5th, 2021, sometime between 730 and 8.30 p.m. One device near the DNC or near or on the park bench and another in an alley close to the RNC. The devices were diffused and did not detonate, but, uh, Authorities now say that they were viable, meaning they had the potential to kill or injure people.
Starting point is 00:05:39 The evidence leading to the arrest does not appear to be coming from brand new physical clues, but rather from a fresh review of existing evidence, video footage, witness tips, and other materials collected in 2021 to 2022. Officials reportedly linked the suspect to statements in support of anarchist ideologists. that is according to MS now. The devices themselves were described to include threaded galvanized pipes, about one to eight inches, N caps, kitchen timers,
Starting point is 00:06:16 wires, blah, blah, investigators have been working on this. I mean, I've talked to Dan Bongino off the air several times, and he's like, Glenn,
Starting point is 00:06:23 we are busting our ass on this, and we just keep coming up dead end, dead end, and he's like, we thought we had him. This was, I don't know, six months ago.
Starting point is 00:06:33 We thought we had them, and it fell apart at the last minute. So I don't know if this is the same guy, who this is, but apparently homemade, obviously. They tried to track the bomb-making components. You know, they tried analyzing the cell phone location, credit card data, you know, tracking shoe sales, honestly, because he wore distinctive sneakers. And so they were looking at who bought, can you imagine that? I mean, that's something you couldn't have done a few years ago. Tracking sneaker sales.
Starting point is 00:07:07 They have not released a name yet of the suspect. Multiple sources say the person is a man from Virginia. That's one report that is saying that. All of this stuff, we have no idea. This is just the initial report, so we don't really know. No official charges have been publicly detailed yet. Some media is saying that he is suspected of planting the bombs, but a formal charge sheet and criminal complaint has not been announced yet,
Starting point is 00:07:34 at least that we are aware of at this point. Motive remains unclear. So we'll see. Jason Buttrill is with me in our studios in Florida. Hi, Jason. Hey, Glenn. So what are your thoughts on this? Kind of strange.
Starting point is 00:07:51 So CNN and the AP are the ones that are talking about this reporting on it the most. CNN says they do not have an ID of the person yet from the FBI. or the Justice Department, but from everything they know, it seems to indicate this is not someone who is an insider, which is interesting. Apparently everyone seems to have an idea that there is a suspect, but no information at all on who the suspect actually is. Why do you say that they're saying it's not an insider? Why do you say that's interesting? I mean, that seems to be where this has all been pointing. I mean, that's what everyone has suspected. That was an insider. That it was an insider.
Starting point is 00:08:30 But I mean, you talk about, you know, a few years ago, we wouldn't have been able to track sneaker cells. I mean, I think about all the ways they could track. I think about every night my wife will not be able to go to sleep without watching these, like, you know, true crime stories. And they're like, we found a paperclip and the paperclip led us to this CCTV. I mean, I'm like, what? I mean, there's cell phone, you know, information that we know that, you know, has been corrupted. We know that, you know, there were text messages from Secret Service agents that suddenly got deleted. All these things that were coincidences that just happened in a case like this, it just seems weird.
Starting point is 00:09:14 I don't know. It's just one of the most oddest stories of the past five years that we have not gotten information on. Really? That's like the best way I can put it. That's the best way I can put it. Out of the encyclopedia of insanity, here's one of the top. I would say this is top 30. I would say this is top five.
Starting point is 00:09:37 This is top 30. But, I mean, we're just dealing with so much. You know, I don't want to go into commenting on it further than the information that we have. You know, so far, I want to give the Justice Department the benefit of the doubt. I want to give everybody the benefit of the night. I so want to believe in my country. Help me believe. Help me help you.
Starting point is 00:10:06 I so want to believe, but I'll believe it when I see all of the information. And maybe we'll have that by the end of the podcast today. We are going to keep our eyes locked on this story today, because that is obviously going to become the big, big story. One of the other big stories, We're going to get into the Muslim thing here because there is so much breaking news on this. And that's a special we're doing tonight as well on what is happening around the world and what is happening in America. And we've got a couple of experts.
Starting point is 00:10:39 In fact, Chris Rufo is joining us on the show today. He's the guy who's broken a lot of this news. And we're going to talk about that. But I also want to talk about the fraud that is going on because, I mean, there is a story going on right now that. that shows you what happens when a government grows so massive, so unaccountable, so convinced of its own benevolence, that it can no longer tell the difference between literally the living and the dead. Now, I want to preface this with, I want to give everyone the benefit of the doubt here, but I'm not sure they deserve it.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Let me give you the facts. we now have, in black and white, a new government accountability office report. It's not some blogger in the basement. You know, this is not me saying it. This is the GAO. And it shows that fake people, phony social security numbers, and even the dear departed, were routinely approved for taxpayer-funded Obamacare subsidies. Now, I emphasize the word routinely because,
Starting point is 00:11:52 what I mean by that is 100% of the GAO's fictitious applications were approved. 100%. Every single one that was fake was approved. You could honestly, you could have taken a napkin and scribbled the words. John Doe, totally real citizen, thrown some numbers up for a Social Security number. number that you pulled out of a fortune cookie and the federal government would have said, you got to send this guy a check. Because it says right here, he's a totally real citizen here.
Starting point is 00:12:31 They would have sent tens of thousands of dollars to your insurance company to reward the fraud. Okay. This is not a glitch. This is not a clerical error. This is massive fraud. Once again, systemic failure engineered. by design, protected by politicians and politics, funded by your sweat.
Starting point is 00:13:00 How long do you have to work every day to pay for just the fraud? I mean, it is getting to the point to where it's obscene. And honestly, if I don't start seeing people go to jail, I said this, I'm going to start saying this every day here for the next couple of weeks. I said at the beginning of the Trump administration, and when they appointed Pam Bondi, I'm not going to give Pam all the room she needs for a year, because you just don't throw prosecutions together, okay? But I have seen these investigations going on now for a year. I have seen these investigations going on in Congress for what, two years.
Starting point is 00:13:52 It was happening during the last Trump administration, and it's happening now. I've seen Congress do all of these investigations. I haven't seen a single person go to jail. What the hell are you spending my money on? Are you just, are you just chasing smoke? Because that's what it seems like, except you keep coming out and saying, oh, my gosh, look at this, look at this, look at this. but I never see a name attached to it and that name also attached to an indictment.
Starting point is 00:14:29 And I'm sorry, but on the year anniversary, I'm going to start coming after Pam Bondi and the DOJ because enough is enough. How much time do you need? There's obvious problems here. On multiple fronts, not just this. And I am really happy to see the DOJ and everybody else come after, for instance, those who are guilty in Minnesota. I want to see jail time. You've taken a billion dollars of the taxpayers' money, and you have just given it away, and in many cases, two terrorists.
Starting point is 00:15:11 You've taken literally food out of the mouth of children. You have taken money that was supposed to go for kids with autism, and you've sent it over to Somalia. to al-Shabaab. I don't know. I think some people should go to jail. And I am not happy if it's just the people
Starting point is 00:15:31 who are at the low end. I want to see the names that excused it, that covered it up. Because you don't get away with a billion-dollar heist. And that this is one. That's just one.
Starting point is 00:15:45 You don't get away with these without protection high above. Okay? So let me go back to what the GAO found here. This is not Minnesota. This is another case. Okay. This is Obamacare. Every fake identity submitted in 2024 was approved. 18 out of 20 fake people were still getting subsidized coverage the following year. So they got coverage the first year. They still were getting coverage the next year. One social security number, just one was used for the
Starting point is 00:16:22 equivalent of 71 years of coverage in one single year. So they got, they got coverage that you would, it would take you 71 years to be able to amass. They got it in one year. That's one social security number. Sixty-six thousand social security numbers received subsidies didn't match a single living person. Sixty-six thousand. Fifty-eight thousand match Social Security death records. So 66,000. So, thousand didn't exist. Fifty-eight thousand did exist, but they were now dead. God rest their souls. They didn't need health insurance. Okay. There's upwards of six million people who aren't actually within the income category that they're claiming credits, you know, as if they were in that income category. Yeah, I don't make enough money, so I should get this. Oh, really? Except you do
Starting point is 00:17:19 make that amount of money. In certain states, there are three to four times as many people enrolled in 100 to 150% of the poverty rate in those $0 plans. There's three to four times as many people enrolled in those states that actually exist in those states three to four times. How do you make that error? How does this happen? So these COVID credits have just produced upward of $27 to $30 billion in fraud. This is just in Obamacare. That's it. Oh, but this is going to reduce your payments.
Starting point is 00:18:07 No, it didn't. In fact, now it's just pushing us deeper and deeper into debt just in a different way than we projected. It's not about health care. This is about national survival or national. National suicide. Which do you choose? This is about a government program that is so unbelievably bloated, so politically insulated, that has become impossible to distinguish fraud from function. Hmm. But maybe that's the point. Is that possible? I'll take you there in 60 seconds. First, real estate agents, I trust.com. There's a moment when every move, in every move,
Starting point is 00:18:51 that you make when you realize you're out of your depth. Okay. That could be, you know, anything. How about going to buy a car, going to buy a house? I mean, I do not like buying cars. I don't like negotiating and I don't know what I'm doing with the house and the markets and everything else. That's why I need a really great agent, a real estate agent that matters, that I can trust. That's why I started real estate agents. I trust.com. They take the guesswork out of the process. We started with the 500 best real estate agents, according to the Wall Street Journal, in the country.
Starting point is 00:19:28 I got to know them. I worked with them. I learned everything about them that I could. I asked them, what makes you different? What makes a good real estate agent? I learned that. And then we opened up real estate agents. I trust.com.
Starting point is 00:19:42 We got those people to start. And then we started looking for more like them. What we were looking for are people with integrity, responsiveness, experience, actual success in the local market, and they know how the modern world works. So you're not rolling the dice. You need a good real estate agent. I want you to go to real estate agents.Itrust.com. Again, this is my company. It's a free service to you. It's real estate agents. I trust.com. Go there now. All right, back in 10 seconds. Okay. America, you're being milked. You're being gamed and weaponized. And not by ordinary Americans, but by the
Starting point is 00:20:30 architects of these programs. I'm convinced they expanded it, they insulated it, and they refused to put any kind of guardrails on it because, you know, it might undermine access. Is that real your motivation? Because that translates to, um, fraud is acceptable. You know, as long as it keeps the political machine alive. Okay. The Democrats removed all income caps. because why shouldn't millionaires get subsidies? They insisted on zero premium plans because zero dollars always invites, zero accountability. And when the Republicans said,
Starting point is 00:21:12 hey, we should tighten this up a bit, how dare you stand in the way of progress? You just want to see children starve. Well, apparently they're going to starve in Minneapolis because you just built the kids and took their food programs, took that for a billion dollars.
Starting point is 00:21:27 You're going to stand in the way of progress. Progress for whom? Honestly, for whom? For the woman in Nebraska paying $1,800 a month for her premium in Obamacare? For the dad in Texas, whose deductible is now higher than his mortgage? Is that progress? Or was the progress actually for the insurance companies pocketing tens of billions in taxpayer money while Congress argues about who's compassionate and who's not? this is moral rot disguised as compassion. It's a system that can't tell a citizen from a corpse, and they pretend to care about the vulnerable? How?
Starting point is 00:22:07 How do you even know who's vulnerable? That person's dead. They're not vulnerable anymore. A system that approves 100% of fake applicants is not helping people. It's feeding itself. A system that rewards fraud while punitive. honesty stops being a safety net and becomes a trap. One we built, one we funded, and ones they refuse to dismantle or even look at. And here's the real danger. When a government becomes this
Starting point is 00:22:40 incompetent, when bureaucracy becomes this unaccountable, when trillions of dollars are moving through systems that nobody is monitoring, fraud's not the exception. Fraud becomes the operating model and we are seeing this time and time again. We're funding our own destruction. And the real question that we should be asking here, is this incompetence or is this the design? Because I don't think it's incompetence. I don't. We have seen it over and over again. Your tax dollars going to NGOs that are using that money, your tax dollars, to disqualance, to dismantle our country or create a color revolution. And quite honestly, if it's not a color revolution, perhaps it's just simply clowered in
Starting point is 00:23:33 Piven, overwhelm the system, force that system to pay out as much as it can so you can collapse the system. We know that's a plan. We know that's a plan that Democrats have adopted. Why aren't we talking about this? Why are we just talking about fraud at the local level? Why aren't we looking at what the real motivation was and getting the real bad guys? More in just a second.
Starting point is 00:24:02 First, let me tell you about pre-born. There are moments in life when you feel the weight of the world a little more than usual. When the news is heavy, the culture feels cold, and you wonder whether one person could really make a difference. I think about that all the time. I'm making a difference. I know you feel the same way. I don't feel like I'm making a difference. Well, you can, but sometimes you don't see it.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Right now, there is a woman in a parking lot, and she is deciding, what am I going to do about this baby? Nobody in my life wants me to carry this baby. Everybody's telling me to go get abortion, and I have no way to afford the baby. I have no help. I have nothing. If she walks into a pre-born clinic, she'll get a free ultrasound today, thanks to somebody like you. and she'll be surrounded by people who actually care about not just the baby, but mom as well. When they walk into a clinic, they feel like they have no options.
Starting point is 00:25:01 But Preborn helps them see their options. This Christmas, save a baby's life and a mother. Change the world. Donate now to Preborn at pound 250. Say the keyword baby. Pound 250, keyword baby. All right. The torch begins.
Starting point is 00:25:20 January 5th, all the details coming at glenbeck.com. You got to ask yourself, why were the Democrats so unbelievably out of their mind when Elon Musk came in and started making cuts? When he started going through with AI and said, let's just go through the budgets. Let's just look at where money is going. When they cut, when they cut the, USAID.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Why do you think they went crazy? Because that money was all being funneled to GAOs or to NGOs. It was all going to NGOs. It was going to fund our destruction. When they, when he started going through the budgets, they had to get him out.
Starting point is 00:26:34 They had to stop this from happening because of the fraud we're now seeing. If you were just joined us, we were talking about the new Obamacare findings from the GAO that shows billions of dollars of fraud that was happening. Okay. This is going to set you off even a little bit more. Jason is with me, chief researcher Jason, help me out because it seems as though I've heard
Starting point is 00:27:04 this exact story from the GAO before. True or false? True, unless you're reading a story from 25 or 2015 or 2016. Yeah, yeah, no. Oh, this is new today. This is new today. Oh, okay, okay. I'm just confused because these are the exact same findings the GAA will have in 2015, 2016.
Starting point is 00:27:27 This is absolutely insane. We just pulled this up. It is literally word for word almost the same findings they did. Give me the 2016. Here's the 20, let me see if I'm. I can pull it back up. Let me give you the 2020 findings. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Government Accountability Office said that the, every single one of the fictitious people that were submitted names, 100% of them were approved. Not only were they approved, they were renewed year after year. And also there were dead people, like lots of dead. people, people that didn't exist at all.
Starting point is 00:28:14 We're looking at 66,000 Social Security numbers that didn't match any real living people. 58,000 matched Social Security death records. 6 million people who are not even in the categories they claim to be in the categories, and they're getting tens of thousands of dollars each of them. Three or four times as many people enrolled in 150, 100 to 150 of poverty. into these zero plans. They're not in those income tax brackets. They're not eligible for that money,
Starting point is 00:28:45 but they were still getting it. $27 to $30 billion in fraud. That's today's story. What's the 2016 story? 2016 story. GAO did the exact same thing in 2015 for the re-enrollment period. 15 fictitious applications were submitted.
Starting point is 00:29:04 All were approved for coverage and subsidies. All. They were approved coverage even when no documents were requested or only fake documents were submitted. And not only this, but it's set to just, it's like the bad subscription that you have, that you have no idea that you had, you know, five years ago. It just automatically keeps going. Same thing. Even though you're supposed to file tax returns to show that all your numbers are still lining up,
Starting point is 00:29:32 well, these are fictitious people. So they couldn't obviously free file their tax returns. It didn't matter. It still re-autoenrolled them and we kept paying for this. Exactly what this report today said. What a coincidence. Why does the GAO even bother doing these because no one acts on them? Why?
Starting point is 00:29:54 You know why. You know why and I know why. This is, you know, when a government becomes this incompetent and unaccountable, your country starts to completely fall apart. And we see Democrats now rushing to the microphone to defend the perpetrators, you know, the judges that are reversing verdicts to protect the people who stole from you. I contend that the people that are rushing to the microphones to defend it are the people who have been covering this up. And you see brainwashed Americans, I'm sorry, but if you can't, if you're not outraged by this amount of fraud, I don't care. Who did it?
Starting point is 00:30:40 If you're not outraged and you don't want all of these people to go to jail, you're so brainwashed. You are, you're actually defending the people who are stabbing you in the chest every day. How's that possible? I mean, it is, it's like you have Stockholm syndrome. And the question is, it's not incompetence. Is it or is it design? This is how republics fall apart, okay? not for an invasion, although we have that going on, not with, you know, just internal,
Starting point is 00:31:14 internal strife, which we have going on, not just with financial collapse, which we have going on, but also with internal corruption, which we have going on, defended by the same people who lecture you about morality, and they're handing out money, your money, to imaginary citizens. and then they have the balls to come and say, if you don't extend these subsidies, all these people are going to lose coverage. Good. Good.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Let's have the dead people that you're paying lose that coverage and use that money that you've just blown and give to your friends or your NGOs. Let's use that money to cover the subsidies. What do you say? How about that as a compromise? Stop the fraud. stop the fraud.
Starting point is 00:32:10 And, you know, I mean, I just, is this theft? Is this compassion? Is this incompetence? Is it design? Because Obamacare is not about care. It's not. It's not about health care. All of this is about the future of our country.
Starting point is 00:32:29 And our country will not survive if we continue to normalize this stuff. if incompetence is just expected. Oh, well, that's the government. They lost another $40 billion. If accountability is optional and only you are held accountable, but never anybody who's in the system, then we don't have a system. We have a system of oppression. We have a system of theft. We have a corrupt system. It doesn't get better from here, gang, unless you stand up, it's not going to get better for and it's broken. We all know it's broken. Washington knows it's broken, and they want it to stay broken, because broken systems can be controlled, manipulated, exploited for whatever they want. But broken systems can also be fixed if people stand up and go, you know what, no more, no more, not with my money,
Starting point is 00:33:27 not in my name, not with my country, no. That's why I started the show saying, you know, come January, when the one year anniversary goes on, if I don't see people actually with indictments that are going to jail, all hell is coming to this program. All hell is coming to this program. And I'm going to bring it to a doorstep in Washington, D.C. Pam Bondi, you should know. I've been silent. I have been as supportive as I can be. But if I don't see prosecutions of people, and I don't mean nameless people. I don't mean the little guy, just the Somalian. I want to see the people who were in power that covered this up because that's the real problem. You can get one Somalian. You can put that one Somalian in jail, but you know what happens? They're replaced with another Somalian or another Italian or another American or another Mexican or another just, here's an idea, human being,
Starting point is 00:34:35 Because human beings, when they think they can get ahead without getting caught or paying any price, they'll do it. And if you have people in power that want to get ahead and they're in on the corruption and they're excusing all of this and they never pay a price because the one Somalian will pay the price, it's not going to get better. You know, maybe it's time for the living to remind those who give health care to the dead who actually runs this country. This country, it's my country, it's your country. It's a country of the people who voted unlike I voted. It's the country of Democrats and Republicans and independents. If you love the country, if you're trying to bilk, the country, destroy the country down. If you want to build a more perfect nation,
Starting point is 00:35:36 then it is your country. Even if we disagree on virtually everything, other than I want to build a more perfect nation that frees more people using the Bill of Rights in the Constitution, then it's your country too. But you're either part of the solution or part of the problem. and I see far too many people that are part of the problem and many of them are in Washington, D.C. In fact, I think most of them in Washington, D.C. You know, you wouldn't have a problem with whole communities just starting to bilk people, steal a billion dollars.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Do you think that just happened? No, that was somebody who was like, you know, you can game this system. And they gamed it so hard. And they were like, look at this is a free, they're printing money, it's so free. nobody's not saying anything. It's so clear I'm bilking the system and nobody's saying anything. We can get away with this.
Starting point is 00:36:33 And then another person joins in and they're like, oh my gosh, look at this. And before you know, you have a whole community because no one was held accountable. And why? In the Somali community, it's because walls and others, they can't say anything about the Somali community. And it's not because they're afraid of the Somali community. It has nothing to do with Muslims. It has everything to do with votes.
Starting point is 00:36:59 They need that community. You're not going to be governor if you don't have the Somali community. So you dare not say anything. How racist is that? Don't tell me I'm racist for pointing out that some Somalians are coming from a country that this is the norm. Their country, Somalia, it is the norm. This is the way it works. Corrupt government.
Starting point is 00:37:24 This is how people bilk the system. Okay? They come over here. And because you don't want to say anything about them, because why, I mean, gee, they won't vote for me. How racist is it that you just think because they're Somalians, they want to live in corruption? Maybe they don't. And maybe those who do should go to jail or go back to Somalia. When are we going to start hearing this from people who will actually?
Starting point is 00:37:56 actually do something about it. I'm so sick and tired of hearing from people in Washington saying, we're going to do something, we're going to do something. You know what, you elect me. What the hell is Congress? I've got a rant on Congress later. Oh my gosh, the stuff that they're doing. I am so sick of the GOP telling me that they're going to do something and then what do they do. Well, we're doing an investigation. Well, you know what? After this next election, bull crap. Man, was I close to saying something other than crap? Bull crap. I am so sick and tired of hearing it.
Starting point is 00:38:34 You and the GOP, your time is running out. People that have voted for you, who have supported you, who have done everything they could to make sure you were elected, we're sick and tired of it. We want action. We don't want another bill that says, oh, you know what? It's a super special day
Starting point is 00:39:00 because we're doing X, Y, and Z. I want to see actual action on things that actually matter. Good God, man. The Republic is at stake. What have you been doing? And I know there are good congressmen. I know there are good senators out there that are beating.
Starting point is 00:39:21 They're saying the same thing I'm saying. There are those, I know them. They're saying the same thing I'm saying. I just want to put, the people at the top of the party at notice. We're done with you. You've had a year. There's been some great progress in the White House.
Starting point is 00:39:39 I've never seen a year like this. I've never seen as much progress as this president has made in nine months. Except I haven't seen any progress, it seems, in corruption, in weaponization. I haven't seen any progress in that. And I don't know if you know this, but if you don't don't start making progress, you don't deserve to be reelected. You don't deserve the power. And if you screw it up and then we don't have anybody we can get behind because we're sick and tired of it, you know who comes in? People who are going to destroy this country, destroy it.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Now, when that happens, I have to ask myself, oh, well, maybe you were part of the scam. maybe you're enriching yourself. Maybe you're a pig at the trough too. Because why else? Why else wouldn't you step up and fix this? More than a minute. American financing. At some point, you're realizing, you know,

Do it now. Hello America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Yesterday, Rubio was talking about the dangers of radical Islam. This is a really, really important thing that you need to hear.
Starting point is 00:45:58 You know, I think we have a very short period of time to fix this. If we lose the next election, lose the House of the Senate. None of this is going to be fixed. We've got to pay attention to this right now. And so we're going to because the development in Texas, you know, they just renamed it. It's now the Meadows. It's not epic. It's the Meadows. What could possibly, everybody loves a meadow. Yeah, not one with machetes in it for my hands or my head. We'll talk about Sharia law in America, of what's really going on. Also, the very first sneak peek at my first interview with George A.I. What would you ask George Washington if you could talk to him?
Starting point is 00:46:43 We have that for you coming up in just a minute. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Patriot Mobile. Everywhere you look today, big corporations are trying to tell you what you should value, what you should believe, what you should support, how you should think. And they use your money to push that damn agenda. And then they pretend that they're speaking on your behalf. But they're not.
Starting point is 00:47:00 And you know it, I know it. That's why Patriot Mobile matters so much, at least to me, they're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. And they do not use your bill to fund the latest social campaign or political movement. They let you decide what your money stands for. They support the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the sanctity of life, and the men and women who serve this country because, you know, not because it's trendy, but because it's right.

Ultimately, all radical Islamic movements in the world identify the West writ large, but the United States in particular, as the greatest evil on the earth.
Starting point is 00:48:16 And every chance to have, the notion that somehow radical Islam would be comfortable with simply controlling some province in Iraq or Syria is just not borne out by history. Radical Islam has shown that their desire is not simply to occupy one part of the world. world and be happy with their own little caliphate, they want to expand. It is a, it is a, it's revolutionary in its nature. It seeks to expand and control more territories and more people. And radical Islam has designs openly on the West, on the United States, on Europe, we've seen that progress there as well, and they are prepared to conduct acts of terrorism in the case of Iran, nation-state actions, assassinations, murders, you name it, whatever it takes for them to gain their influence and ultimately their domination of different cultures and societies.
Starting point is 00:49:00 That's a clear and imminent threat to the world and to the broader West, but especially to the United States, who they identify as the chief source of evil on the planet. The reason why they hate the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the leadership of the UAE of Bahrain, is because they've allowed the United States to partner with them. That's why they hate them. They consider them infidels for it.
Starting point is 00:49:20 They hate Israel. But they also hate America, and they hate anywhere in the world that we have influenced, they seek to attack it, including here in the homeland. If you look at the domestic terrorists, at the attacks that have happened here domestically, the overwhelming majority of them have been inspired by radical Islamic viewpoints. And that includes the shooting in the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
Starting point is 00:49:38 That includes the Saudi pilot in Pensacola. My home state, two attacks. Okay, so I want to, I'd like to propose that we stop calling it radical Islam. Because it's not radical Islam. It's political Islam. There is religious Islam, and I know a lot of religious Muslims that are good people. I don't put them in the same category because they don't want Sharia law. That's political Islam.
Starting point is 00:50:10 It's not radical. It's what happens all over the world. It's not radical. It's political. How many times do you remember when the, if you're my age, when the wall came down and we finally got to converse with Russians. And we always thought, me growing up, I always thought, oh, the Russians, you know, it's Vladimir. Vladimir is here and Luki's spying. Notosha,
Starting point is 00:50:32 let's spy and kill all Americans. Okay, that's what we thought when we were kids. That's not who the Russians were. The Russians were good people. They were decent people. They wanted the same kinds of things that we wanted. We don't agree on everything, but they want to be left alone, let their kids, raise their kids, have a chance
Starting point is 00:50:50 at some success and you know, and retirement. Just leave me alone. Most of us are like that. What happens is our politicians get in the way. The politicians, the political systems are the ones that are the problem. We don't call it radicalized communism. It's communism, okay?
Starting point is 00:51:15 It's a political philosophy. This is a political philosophy. Political Islam, it's not radical. It's just a political philosophy. and that political philosophy, just like communism, wants to dominate the world. Unlike communism, political Islam is so incredibly arrogant. It's inevitable to them. Why?
Starting point is 00:51:42 Birth rates. That's why. Birth rates. And they think we're stupid. And you know what? So do I. I think we're stupid too. Come on, man.
Starting point is 00:51:55 You know. Right? Are we not stupid? You look over at Europe. Are the grand Europeans that colonize the whole world and are abusing everyone because they're so sophisticated and so powerful and everything else? Really? Are they? Because look how dumb they're being right now with their own countries in Europe. They're committing suicide. And so are we. Now, there's this development that is happening in Texas. let me let me give you an interview a piece of an interview done by a Muslim developer of Muslim
Starting point is 00:52:31 communities and and how and how it actually works listen to these 35 seconds of this interview the way what we're doing brother like you cannot make it exclusive like non-Muslims not allowed or far not allowed what we're doing there's something called association fee i don't know what it's called in Dubai, like your maintenance fee that you pay yearly, cutting the service fee to cut the grass, to remove the snow and whatnot. So that service fee will put there, 75% of the service fee you're paying goes to the mashid.
Starting point is 00:53:03 So they will ultimately, you not want to come. Automatically, if you are a practicing Christian, I would advise you, why help the Muslims, you know? That's crazy. They're their own thing, right? So this is the way we're gonna put their clause. And our attorney already put it there. So this is the way they manipulate
Starting point is 00:53:22 The kafars. The kafars are you, the non-Muslim people, the infidels. And they are manipulating because, ha, ha, ha, ha, and why would you do that? That's how they make it an exclusive Muslim community. Okay. And what do you get in those Muslim communities? I want to take you back to 2015.
Starting point is 00:53:47 I had been in Irving, Texas. My studios are in Irving, Texas. And I had been there for maybe three years. And it's the most diverse zip code in all of America, which is a great thing. Except it's also becoming very, very Islamic. And that is totally fine, as long as we're not talking political Islam.
Starting point is 00:54:17 unfortunately we are and the religion teaches that you can lie to an infidel you can lie if it helps Islam okay so i i had a couple of imams from the dallas area come in from from you know where all of this is happening and uh and i just i set him down and we just had a great conversation I want you to listen to this what finally came out of the mouth of one of the imams. Listen to this. I am here, I'm sorry to say it,
Starting point is 00:54:54 back to the first point, I'm here to discuss issue with Islamic tribunal. So please don't grab us to another situation. Maybe we are ready for any discussion. No, I know that. I think we had a good discussion. We are ready for any point to discuss with.
Starting point is 00:55:10 But the main point, here we are, that the reason we are here to discuss this issue, what kind of cases Islamic tribunal handle. And you start with the Sharia and what Sharia, why the people are afraid from Sharia? I'm sorry to say it, one point related to this. Cut-head is not just in Sharia law, just in Islamic law, it's everywhere. Who said that just in Islamic law? That's even another Sharia, in Jewel Sharia, in Christian Sharia, in American Heelah,
Starting point is 00:55:42 we cut head for some reason. So I'm asking you an easy question, if anyone kill another, he should get killed. By law, by Islamic law, by governor, he should get killed. What is the wrong with that? If a thief,
Starting point is 00:56:02 Jean-Bam, I'm sorry, to your house, scare your wife, scare your children, scare your neighbor, and they did that with our stores, this is the law, the law to cut his hand, because if he feels my hands will cut because of that, he will think about this 100 times.
Starting point is 00:56:19 He will never do it. And if he do that one time, he will never do it again. Look how many millions of dollars American here or other states or other state outside spend for the people to keep the criminal in jail? A lot of millions of dollars, we can save that. Just let him go. That's it, because he did something going in the whole community
Starting point is 00:56:45 and they scared the whole community. Why not? So back, please, to the point, Islamic tribunal, yes, we never deal with anything of that. We don't have authority for that. We don't have power for that. But I want to make sure I understand that you're... But you're okay, you seem to be okay with that
Starting point is 00:57:01 if you had the power for that. But you don't have the power? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. As Imam said, we have system. We are very organized people. Sorry for this example, somebody killed my dad.
Starting point is 00:57:19 I shouldn't kill him. I have to case, take this case to the judge. And judge have to control the governor. This is system, procedure, I have to follow. So it is not like this, one kill this, let's get him killed. No, no way. We have very, I give you just an easy example
Starting point is 00:57:37 for leader Omar bin Khattab. This is, after, Prophet Muhammad be upon him. He sent one to Yemen and he told him, before he leaves, he asked him, always as a habit, what did you do if the people bring a thief for you? He said, I will cut his hand. Okay, he said, you do that, okay.
Starting point is 00:58:00 Omar said, this is the behind, after Prophet Muhammad al-Salam, after Abakr and the Prophet Muhammad, he said, okay, if one person came with me, without work, an employee, I will cut your head, because he has no job. So if you robber something from the store or grab something from here to eat, nothing happened to you.
Starting point is 00:58:26 So, but if you have your job and you enough income, and you take care about your children, and you have house, and you have car, and you rubber from any store or a thing from here or there, you have, so the reason, This is the law, but please, the point with Sharia, I ask people, we are not here to do that at all. It is not our authority. It's not our power.
Starting point is 00:58:49 It's not our job. We have specific people. You got to stop. This is amazing to me, because you hear how passionate he is about how logical that is. I mean, you just have to do it. I mean, it makes sense to everybody. We just cut your head off or we cut your hands off. And the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
Starting point is 00:59:11 I mean, he has preached this forever. And I mean, it just works. It just works. Of course, we wouldn't want to do that. But this just works. I mean, let me tell you about it again. Really? Really?
Starting point is 00:59:23 You don't want that to happen because you're in the United States, but you're cool with it everywhere else. Everywhere else. But here it's different. But my religion, which requires me to say, peace be upon him. after I mentioned the prophet Mohammed, my religion, which is extraordinarily well defined, it has these laws in political Islam that must be done because the Quran requires it in political Islam. But we're not going to, I mean, yeah, we've got our own little laws going on. Now we've got our courts.
Starting point is 01:00:04 But we're never going to go that far. Wait. wait, but you believe in political Islam. Of course I do. But you're not going to do it. Of course not. But the Koran commands you to do it. Of course it does.
Starting point is 01:00:19 You follow every dictate in the command? Of course I do. But not that one. Come on. Come on. Does anybody really believe that? Now that does not mean Muslims believe that. Many do.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Many do not. many the ones who do not are the ones who have lived under it and escaped here and want a different kind of Islam. And by us just turning a blind eye to this because they know how it happens, they saw it in their country. They don't want it happening here. You know, we just take care of things like marriages. Oh, so when a guy says, I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you, you're divorced and she loses everything. Oh, you mean the kind of, if she wants to testify against her husband on adultery, she has to have two witnesses plus her because her voice and one other person as a witness does not equal him.
Starting point is 01:01:25 Because she's not equal to a man. Oh, okay. All right. But you have that one and that's okay. No, it's not okay. It's not okay. It's not okay. It shouldn't be okay in any Western country, period, should not be okay. Unfortunately, we're all turning a blind eye to it. Tonight I've got a special coming on. I'll tell you about it here in a second. We're taking this on. We're going to show you what's happening over in Europe, and we're going to talk to somebody who's from England, who says some frightening things, because he just came to Texas.

Starting point is 01:03:55 but Texas is blind to what's coming their way, and it's out of control, and I'll show it to you tonight. If you've heard of Epic City, it's this giant Muslim community, and Greg Abbott started looking into it because they're like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, it's you know it'll become a no-go zone absolutely become a no go zone now that is if you believe that the uh cleric behind all of this is is not a man of his word okay because here's we have tapes
Starting point is 01:04:33 of him preaching hatred and homophobia and holocaust denial um openly calling for the execution of gay people and adulterers, calling the Holocaust a hoax. He said that Jewish people have infiltrated the religious departments of all American universities and a bid to destroy Americans. And he is, you know, he's also, you know, he's also cool with, you know, killing homosexuals. Quote, this is a part of our religion to stone the adulterer and to kill, by the way, the homosexual. This is also our religion. Okay. Do we do this in America? No, we're not allowed to do this in America. You know that. But I'm saying if we did have an Islamic state, we would do this now.
Starting point is 01:05:25 That's on tape. Now, he has come out later and said, oh, that wasn't my radical days. I'm not radical anymore. I'm not like that. I, you know, that part where I said, if we had the chance to do it, We wouldn't do it now, but we would do it if we had the Islamic State. He's changed his mind. I don't know what has changed his mind because that goes against everything he's preaching as a political Islamic cleric. But, you know, I'm sure we take him at his word. I'm sure he's a changed man. What does this mean?

Starting point is 01:07:40 Find all the details at glenbeck.com. Welcome to the Glennbeck program. I was at Maralago last night. I've been trying to help raise funds for several organizations. I've been speaking at several fundraisers at Mara Lago over the last couple of weeks. And it's an amazing thing to see
Starting point is 01:08:29 how many people are just deep, deeply, deeply engaged in saving our nation and, you know, our life, our fortune and our sacred honor comes to mind. The dedication of people. Last night I was there for the American Journey experience, which is an offshoot of Mercury 1. It is our history section. And we announced that we are building a museum. a brick and mortar museum. We begin early next year. And we had some really exciting things to say about that. And we'll give you updates on that as it goes.
Starting point is 01:09:13 But we would love to have your, you know, right now you can come into part, you know, very small museum. I think we have, I don't know, maybe 10,000 square feet. I think our vault is 5,000 square feet.
Starting point is 01:09:24 And, you know, we invite people in to see some of the things. But it's, it's really by invitation only, or if you call Mercury 1, you can get in. But we're going to open up an actual museum. And it's not just the museum. It's also a teaching center.
Starting point is 01:09:43 And so we were talking about that last night. And last night I introduced for the first time, George A.I. The interaction that I had with AI. Now, remember, this is proprietary technology and information. This is based on the library, that we have, which is the third largest collection of founding documents in the world, only behind the National Archives and the Library of Congress. And it's all original sources.
Starting point is 01:10:11 So it's all the writings of the founders, all of the writings that influence them that we know from their writing, they read this or they were basing these things on these different items. It's the Federalist Papers. it's all of the documents, it's all of their letters to each other, it's their personal writings, it's the Bible, it's Blackstone's law, it's all of the things that they had access to, that influenced them in a positive way to build America. And we have George, which is the librarian, and George is going to be a system that will be able to give you answers to things and show you the actual documents,
Starting point is 01:11:03 but it'll be able to speak to you in your own language. If you try to read the founders now, it's so hard because they were so smart. They're using words that I'm like, I don't even know what that means. And when you read the founders, you usually have to read it with a dictionary side by side. It's difficult.
Starting point is 01:11:26 And their language is so form. So it's hard for us to relate to them, but all of the knowledge, this deep, deep knowledge is there from these guys. Literally, they wrote, I try to remember, was it George Washington or Thomas. One of them wrote at a 70th grade level, the 70th grade, you know. And so they're just way advanced, way advanced. We put all of this information into our own system. This is an AI system built by me and my team. And it has pretty much like, if you will, an electric fence around it. It cannot go and pull information from the outside and mix it with the information from the inside. So it can go and we can import things and say, hey, I want you to look at this bill and tell me, is this bill even constitutional?
Starting point is 01:12:25 What would the founders say about this bill? and it will look at that bill and then it will go through all of their, you know, discussions and everything else, everything that is in that AI system memorized from start to finish, which stops hallucinations, and it will analyze that bill or it will analyze that story. Or you can say, hey, I want my kids to understand the Bill of Rights. In George AI right now is, I don't even know how many thousands of sermons there are from the pulpits that were the churches where these guys attended. Because almost everything in the Declaration and Bill of Rights came from the pulpits.
Starting point is 01:13:08 And it's amazing when you read some of these sermons that these guys gave. It'll be on, you know, the right to life, liberty, and property. I mean, that'll be the sermon. And today it would look, everybody would be like, oh, I can't say that from the pulpit. We have all of these sermons that our laws were based on. these ideas were based on. And so you can ask him anything. And so when you sit down for the very first time and you're going to talk to George Washington
Starting point is 01:13:37 or a reasonable facsimile of him, what do you ask him? My question was, we fed in all of the conditions of what's happening in America today. And I wanted to have a conversation. And here's a bit of the very first conversation. with George A.I. Listen. George, we have programmed a lot of information and given you a lot of information of what's going on in today's America. Based on your writings and the writings of the rest of the founders,
Starting point is 01:14:14 what is it that you feel is the biggest problem or where we should start to fix things? If I may, speak plainly. My countryman, the danger, the greatest danger, to our republic lies not in foreign arms or political faction, but in the decay. May I just interrupt you for a second. Could you just dumb it down just a little bit? Okay. I do have 29 points and they're all referenced to exactly what we said in the past. For this, just speak in today's language. Okay, okay, I get it.
Starting point is 01:14:48 Let me speak to Americans. If I'm honest, America's biggest problem is in political or economic. It's on moral. You've drifted from the virtues that make liberty possible in the first place. Freedom. To be free. You have to have discipline. You have to have faith.
Starting point is 01:15:12 You have to have character. And if you don't have any of those things, laws. Laws can't stop anything. And they mean little. Government turns either weak or oppressive. Who have grown skeptical of truth. You're reckless with debt. You're comfortable.
Starting point is 01:15:31 blaming instead of building anything. And in my time, we understood that self-governance begins with self-control. Do you even recognize what self-control is? Public virtue matters more than public opinion. You keep electing these people expecting things to change, but you haven't changed. The fix is not going to be found in Washington, D.C. It's going to be found in every home, every school, every heart. You know, where are the citizens who value duty over comfort, principle over popularity?
Starting point is 01:16:07 America was built to be a moral and self-governing nation. It's only that foundation that will still save her. Great fifth on the torch, you'll find information at glenbeck.com. You'll notice he started speaking because this is what you will see. At the beginning, I will have to do the interviews with him because, compute power is so expensive. And we'll ask you to write in. In fact, you can do it now,
Starting point is 01:16:43 The Torch at glenbeck.com. What would you like to learn from the founders? What would you like your children to learn from the founders? Would you like a podcast from the founders on the Bill of Rights or the Federalist Papers or whatever? What would you ask if you could ask the founders a question? What would you ask them? at the beginning, because of compute power,
Starting point is 01:17:08 we will be feeding those in and then producing and rolling out every day different podcast or answers or whatever from George A.I. I pray and I hope and I'm, I have pretty good advisors on what we're going to be able to do. And it depends on how many people are using it. and, you know, if we get people to help us in support, compute power, the cost of it will go down, and we'll be able to afford bigger amounts of compute.
Starting point is 01:17:51 And you'll be able to, hopefully, within the first year, you'll be able to have a one-on-one conversation like I just did. Have a one-on-one conversation. And you'll notice at the beginning, he came out and because this is the way they are, it's trained to give you the actual verbiage. And when he said, I have 29 points, he, believe me, because we edited there,
Starting point is 01:18:15 he went on and oh my gosh, it gets tedious. But he has the 29 points. He can show you the documents and it's all in his language. Or you can do what I did and say, just speak in today's language. Dumb this down. I'm trying to, this needs to be understood by an eight-year-old and it will continue to adjust.
Starting point is 01:18:39 You'll eventually, hopefully in the first year in 2026 for the 250th anniversary, you will be able to say I have a 15-minute commute and I'm taking my kids to school every day and it takes me 15 minutes to drive him to school. And they need to understand whatever. it is. They need to understand civic responsibilities. They need to understand the responsibility part of our rights. Whatever it is. Can you develop a podcast? I need them to understand the Bill of Rights. So I'd like to do it in the next 10 days and it needs to be no longer, each episode needs to be no longer than 14 minutes. So you get in the car and it's 14 minutes. Eventually, when it is coming to you live, it will, it will,
Starting point is 01:19:31 will ask you questions at the end, it will finish the podcast, and then it will ask each member, and you say, I've got an 8-year-old, a 12-year-old, and me, and I'm, you know, 40. It will ask each of you questions just to gauge, did you understand what was just taught? And if you don't, if AI decides, you don't really have it, you don't understand the, the real essence of this, it will then rejigger the next podcast. So the next time you're in the car going to and from school, it will adapt to you to be able to go back and teach it more clearly and it will learn you. So it will be, ah, the deficit is here or they understand, they're more of a visual learner, they're more of this kind of learner, whatever, they'll understand in stories or they understand
Starting point is 01:20:25 just in facts or whatever. It will understand each member and it will be able to them directly in their language, the way they learn. I hope, this is my goal, because I feel like I accomplished what I set out to accomplish with the Blaze. I feel like I accomplished that a few years ago. And I'm not good at treading water. And I feel like we accomplished our goal of, my goal, at least, was just to open. open a door that others could walk through.
Starting point is 01:21:03 Open the door and show America and show talent that you can start something yourself. You can do this on your own and you can present it in a way that is just as credible and more just as, if not more powerful than any of the networks. And you don't have a boss breathing down your neck. You don't have people that you are having to answer to. You can speak your mind and tell the truth as you understand it and chart your own course. Nobody was doing that when I started the blaze. I mean, the only people that had a spine, a backbone, if you will, a digital backbone that could provide a live network kind of feed was Major League Baseball.
Starting point is 01:21:51 They were the only ones. They were the first in to say, we can do a live sports coverage. I partnered with Major League Baseball and said, can we use your spine? We want to do live news. We did. This is at a time when Netflix was still sending movies through the mail. Now look at what's happened.
Starting point is 01:22:13 So I think we disrupted the news industry. We disrupted all of that, destroyed it, and reinvented. This is my next phase of my life, probably the last chapter in my life, I want to do the same thing and disrupt education and the way we learn and to show you an ethical way
Starting point is 01:22:39 to use AI. One that you will not get lost into. It will always remain a tool in your hands, not the other way around. More in just a second. You can find all the information at glenbeck.com. It starts January 5th.

Forget female. she has when she speaks a lot of people listen she talks common sense and she speaks it in a way that a lot of people really understand and she has been very concerned about the growing influence of Islam is the GOP doing enough tonight I'm doing a TV special wake up the Islamic takeover of America that is halfway complete that's tonight at nine on the blaze and also on my YouTube channel about six o'clock tonight.

Starting point is 01:30:28 How are you? I'm really good. I'm really good. It is amazing to me how this, the awareness of this Islamic takeover of the West, how quickly it is spreading and how quickly people are waking up. I don't know about the politicians, but the average person is really starting to wake up to this, don't you think? Absolutely. And of course, you've been warning about this for years, but I think a lot of people are just being infiltrate their neighborhoods that, There's mosques where there used to be churches or where there used to be office buildings.
Starting point is 01:31:06 There are people wearing hijabs and their elementary schools and middle schools. There are fewer people celebrating Christmas and Hanukkah around them. And you're told that you're not allowed to notice this and you're certainly not allowed to care about this. There's no such thing as American culture. You can't care about sharing these celebrations with your neighbors. But people do care. It's very unsettling. and a lot of people are just finding the words and the courage to say something about it.
Starting point is 01:31:36 You know, I don't have a problem with, you know, halal or koshering. I don't have a problem. But I do have a problem that my kid's school now has to only serve halal food. I mean, it's like, wait a minute, what? What's up with that? And that's happening all over Texas where halal is your choice now. I just, I mean, can we have a conversation about this, please? You know, that's all, I think that's what most people just want.
Starting point is 01:32:06 Can we at least have a conversation about what's happening in our country? Right. You know, I asked my Instagram followers, vast majority are women, probably 85% stay-at-home moms. And when I asked this question, my followers were about $850,000 on Instagram. And I just said, totally open-ended, wasn't looking for a particular answer. hey, what is your biggest concern with America right now? I was just trying to come up with topics for my show. The number one answer over and over again was the spread of Islamic dominance, where they are living in America, in the West. This is very destabilizing for a lot of people, and they are seeing it not just affect people far off like we used to, but affects their own neighborhoods and their own schools.
Starting point is 01:32:52 And so, you know, usually politicians take a while to kind of wake up to what the populace is really scared of. We have seen some good action in Texas for sure. But this is a real problem. And it's not just an illegal immigration problem. And that's the uncomfortable part of this. Like, this is a cultural issue. This is an immigration issue in general. So we need the people in Washington and in Austin to come up with some good solutions for the people who are concerned about this.
Starting point is 01:33:20 you said that your audience is concerned because it affects them how does it affect them well i think that they're scared of the violent crime that they've seen in places maybe in their own city but certainly in places where islam has dominated when we look at places like deerborn michigan when we look at our friends across the pond that sexual crimes that violent crimes all increased disproportionately when there is a large-scale importation of people from these Muslim-majority countries. Doesn't mean that they're all like that. Doesn't mean that they can't be good neighbors. But this is not only a cultural change.
Starting point is 01:33:59 This is not only a shift in how their neighborhoods look and feel and the celebrations had and things like that. But this also is potentially a threat to their own safety, especially the safety of their daughters. And people care about that. I was talking to somebody who was doing a podcast with somebody. over in London yesterday. And he was talking about this. And I said, you know, I'm not, you know, I don't follow the news all the time,
Starting point is 01:34:31 you know, closely like I do in America about, you know, the United Kingdom. But what I'm seeing coming out of Ireland. And when you think of Ireland, you think of a very Catholic country, you know, or Protestant, a very Christian. Christian country. Right. And they fought wars over their own Christianity. It is almost completely gone now.
Starting point is 01:34:58 You have to go to, you know, the way, way, way, way outskirts, you know, the northern part of the island to find that kind of community. The Irish have almost been completely wiped out. There's, there's very few churches left. They are all being converted into mosques. and, you know, okay, well, time passes, et cetera, et cetera, but to not notice and not say, wait a minute, that is the erasing of an entire people and their culture, and that culture is very important to the West. Should we not care about that? Right. Well, certainly progressives care about it when it comes to, you know, non-British or non-British countries or countries that are not America, they call that colonialism. They call that imperialism. But apparently, when Muslims do this, it's fine. But the problem was at first, Islam. The problem was
Starting point is 01:35:55 secularization. The lesson there is that secularism doesn't hold. Atheism, agnosticism, don't hold. People are looking for meaning, and eventually ideology in one religion will win. And right now, Islam in a lot of countries is winning. you know you you wrote a book on toxic empathy and i think i think it's a mistake on this one to say that it was empathy that we've gone down the road i i think this is especially if you look in minnesota they turn a blind eye to what's going on in um in minnesota and i i'll bet you in Michigan as well. Because if you don't have the Muslim population on your side, you're not going to be elected governor. You're not going to be mayor. And so it's not empathy. It's all
Starting point is 01:36:46 politics, which makes it even more grotesque. But when I see us turning a blind eye to it, we're now entering the time of suicide. And those who are in power are the doctors engaging in medical assisted suicide for their country. They know what they're doing at this point. They're just choosing their power and hold on to their power for as long as they can. Do you think toxic empathy at this point is still playing a role in this Islamic, you know, hostile, political Islamic takeover? Yeah, I absolutely do. Now, do I think that that's the case for Tim Walz or Jacob Frey or any of these cowards. No, probably not. It's probably power. It's fear, as you said. But for the average
Starting point is 01:37:43 person, especially for the woman, especially for the person who has been told that loving your neighbor means just accepting all forms of people no matter what their behavior is, then, yeah, I do think that people are more scared of Islamophobia or being called an Islamophob than they are the Islamification of their neighborhood. In fact, I think they think that their virtue is tied to how much they like halal and how much they accept, you know, the building of mosques around their neighborhood. And so I do think that people feel so strongly that being exclusive or intolerant in any way is a sign of being a bad person. The immediate social incentive for speaking up against Islam or against soft on crime policies or anything, it just doesn't exist. The social
Starting point is 01:38:38 incentive in the immediate is to be as progressive as possible, people respond to incentives. So I think that's a big part of what's going on. Love to hear your comments on Trump over the holiday. Tweeted out, the official United States foreign population stands at 53 million people, most of which are on welfare from failed nations or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from patriotic American citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They've put up what has been happening to our country, but it's eating them alive to do so. Wow, that's not very empathetic, is it? Right. That's exactly what he's talking about
Starting point is 01:39:26 is toxic empathy. He's talking about our compassion as Americans being weaponized against us. the problem, I wouldn't have said it's a problem, but now it's kind of becoming a problem, is that for conservatives, we're thinking individually. We're thinking about our family, and we're thinking, okay, whatever, just take my taxes, do what you have to do, I'm going to keep my head down, I'm going to work hard, I'm going to move further outside of the city, I'm going to homeschool. I'll just, you know, take to the Benedict option and kind of be a recluse. As long as my family is safe, as long as I can make money, as long as things are okay here,
Starting point is 01:39:57 then I'll be fine. Well, progressives, for the most part, don't think that way. They think collectively. are looking to build a coalition to take power. We are just thinking about our family and about our immediate future in our local community. And that's not really a fair fight when you have someone who is thinking in the big sense and we're thinking in the micro. And so he's absolutely right. And that is one weakness that we Christian and conservatives have, even if we're right in thinking that way, it's hurting us now, especially in ideology.
Starting point is 01:40:32 like Islam that means submission, they're looking to conquer. And conservatives in general, we just haven't been thinking that way. I was talking to a guy from the United Kingdom, and I said, how close are you guys to civil war? I mean, I see what's going on and, you know, collapse and it's, I mean, it's bad. And he said, I think it's beyond saving but for God. And what came to mind as he said that was, yeah, I agree with that. except you've become a godless country.
Starting point is 01:41:07 I mean, you know, the Church of England just raised the Islamic flag over the Church of England last week. I mean, what God is there? Right. He said that there was a resurgence of faith, which would be great. But how do we fix this, Allie? Gosh, I pray to the Lord that that is true, that there is some kind of revival that we don't see. It's important to know that God's work doesn't always make headlines. It doesn't always go viral.
Starting point is 01:41:35 And it seems like he's just doing one thing. He's actually doing a million things in the unseen and unsung work of just faithful believers that might not have radio shows or podcasts, but they are doing God's work. And so I pray to the Lord that that is true. I can't imagine like a better signifier that you've been conquered than, you know, another ideology raising its flag over your territory. I mean, that is literally a sign that you have been conquered. but God, but God can do anything. And so we should pray. He works through the prayer of believers. He works
Starting point is 01:42:07 through the obedience of believers, the boldness of evangelism of believers. We can't all change the world, but we can be faithful with whatever spot of eternity God has providentially placed us in to make it better for the glory of God, to share the gospel and to speak beauty and truth and goodness into whatever sphere we occupy. That is the responsibility of a Christian. That is how God has moved mountains. for over 2,000 years, and I think he will continue to. Alliebeth, thank you. God bless you. Thank you very much. You bet.
Starting point is 01:42:38 Host of Blaze TV, relatable. Ali Best Stucky, she is the Phyllis Schlafly of our day. And I couldn't be more proud of her. And she's just a good woman.

When I was a kid, we never locked our door. We didn't have a key under our mat. We didn't, we never locked our door. Maybe when we went on vacation. That was it.

Also, don't forget tonight there is a civilizational war that's going on within the United States and the rest of the world has ignored it. I mean, I've been shouting this since the chalkboard. the Islamists and the socialist and the anarchists will all work together to overthrow stability and they will start in the Arab world, then they'll go to Europe and then they'll come to America. That's exactly how it is played out.
Starting point is 01:46:24 And now we're seeing this combination of socialists and Islamist. And by the way, on the torch, I'm going to be doing a special on Islam. Whatever happened to all those socialists, you know this, It was the Marxist and the socialist that helped bring the Ayatollah Khomeini back to Iran in 1979. Guess who was dead by 1980? All of the socialist Marxist. Yeah, they were all executed, rounded up, 30,000 of them, rounded up, executed or thrown in jail. Congratulations, you morons.
Starting point is 01:46:58 Anyway, assuming you're not a moron, you're not one of the socialists, if you are. Well, you're a moron. That's why you're listening to me. is when you're going against your beliefs by listening to me, maybe you'll get some common sense or you're just like so dumb. You're like, I don't know what he's saying. Anyway,
Starting point is 01:47:16 um, uh, we have a special on this, but we are not far behind, um, Europe and England and we are moving rapidly. Have you noticed how things are speeding up? I mean,
Starting point is 01:47:30 nobody was talking about this six months ago. Now it seems to be everywhere. You see the story today of an, Another guy, this one was not Somali, he was Pakistani. Another guy who was caught and arrested yesterday, and he had all kinds of stuff in his car. He was going to do a mass killing here in America. It's here.
Starting point is 01:47:51 The true threat that still has yet to happen here in America, but the warning signs are everywhere. Tonight, Blaze TV and on my YouTube channel, YouTube.com slash Glenn Beck. YouTube.com slash Glenn Beck. and on Blaze TV. Tonight, Wednesday night special, check it out. This is Glenn Beck.
Starting point is 01:48:18 Christopher Rufo is joining me here in just a second. First, let me tell you about Good Ranchers. A lot of the meat sold in America today is imported from overseas. Can I ask you, what the hell is wrong with us? Why would we do that? We have great ranches here. We have all kinds of land here. We've always fed ourselves.
Starting point is 01:48:35 Why are we doing this? Good Rancher changes all of this, turns it upside down. When you open one of their boxes, you're getting 100% American meat, raised on farms and ranches that still care about flavor and quality and the American way of life. The difference shows up the moment it hits the pan or the barbecue. Better sizzle, better smell, better eating, meals that feel like, you know, you made something on purpose, not just something you threw together. And it's all shipped straight to your door, vacuumed,
Starting point is 01:49:07 and flash frozen at peak freshness. No guessing, no last minute store trips, just incredible meat that makes cooking fun again and dinner something your family actually looks forward to. So this year, don't just give another holiday gift, give a reason to gather. Good Ranchers.com. Start gift giving.

Don't forget, the torch begins in just a few weeks. We want you to be part of the movement at glenbeck.com. So I first ran into Chris Rufo. I don't even know how many lifetimes ago.
Starting point is 01:50:12 He was working for the city journal and he was starting to uncover things and he just started doing investigations on things that he cared about. And all of a sudden he is one of the best investigative reporters out there. Extraordinarily credible. Right almost every single time. and he is joining us at the Blaze. He is the host now of his own TV show, Rufo and Lomaz. And he's the guy who broke the story a couple weeks ago about the Minnesota taxpayers
Starting point is 01:50:45 who are funding a terrorist group, Al-Shabaab. I don't know. Is that a problem? Can I ask you, am I more outraged? And I haven't paid any Minnesota tax? Am I more outraged than the people of Minnesota? I mean, I know there's, you know, it's Norwegians up there. And so they're, you know, Norwegians are like, yeah, sure.
Starting point is 01:51:07 I mean, you know, they don't seem to get very excited about. And they're very, you know, socialized and everything else. They're very big heart, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah. And they don't seem to, you know, they're Swedish, Norwegian, you know. But is there any point where they're outraged? Is there any point when they're like, you know what? This socialization thing is good, but not like. this, this socialized, hey, let's help everybody, but not like this. I mean, you had a billion
Starting point is 01:51:38 dollars taken from the taxpayers. A billion is, and I don't hear anything from the people of, I mean, if you were taken for a billion dollars and your money, you knew was being taken away from children who need food, they were faking all kinds of health issues for, for other children. And so taking money away from real autistic programs and then putting it in and sending it to a terror group, wouldn't you be kind of pissed? Because I know I would be. Are the people in Minnesota pissed about it?
Starting point is 01:52:18 I don't know. I mean, if it was my state, I don't think my governor would still be in the governor's office. But, you know, maybe that's just me. Christopher Rufo joins me now.
Starting point is 01:52:29 Chris, we were just talking about, I mean, first of all, thank you. not only this story, but all the stories and things that you have exposed over the years, thank you for doing all of the hard work and being credible the whole time. It doesn't, am I more outraged by this story than the people of Minneapolis?
Starting point is 01:52:49 Because they don't seem to have a problem with it. Is it just me? Well, it's even more bizarre, actually. You're outraged about the proper thing to be outraged about, which is that a group that is a recent arrival was promoted. kind of asylum, refugee status into the United States, has now systematically looted the Treasury of the state of Minnesota. But Minnesota politicians are also outraged, but they're outraged that we've noticed this and that we've called this out and that we're saying this is not
Starting point is 01:53:20 okay. And so you have the mayor of Minneapolis speaking in Somali saying that he's going to, you know, do whatever he can, do whatever he can to, you know, to shelter the Somali community from any criticism at all. And I just find this borderline suicidal and the Scandinavian founding culture of Minnesota is just being systematically exploited and they seem to have no ability to even defend themselves against it. I mean, what's happened to Sweden is happening in, you know, in, in Minnesota. It's just they take the kindness and the social.
Starting point is 01:54:02 is the socialized everything and they just absolutely abuse it until there is nothing left. Let me ask a question and I want to be really careful here because I know you're not. Nobody
Starting point is 01:54:17 is reasonably saying this that all Somalis just want to rip us off. Not true. I think there's probably a lot of people that wanted to get away from Somalia because it is an absolutely corrupt system. And now our politicians are just recreating, you know, what they had in Somalia.
Starting point is 01:54:36 And I can't believe that everybody from Somalia in Minnesota is for that. But when you look at where they came from, that is the way their government works. It is so rife with corruption. Is this something that is being imported or is this just a handful of bad guys? Well, it's a little bit of both. And as you said, we have to be careful and precise in how we think about it. But what's happening is that obviously not every Somali is participating in these fraud schemes, but it's true that many, many, many, an extraordinarily high percentage of people in the Somali community, we're participating in these schemes. Prosecutors have told me that there are dozens of these schemes that have been perpetrated. And some of them are involving dozens and in some cases, is hundreds of families. And so we're talking about a very high percentage of the population. But the point is this, related to immigration, we always have had an immigration system that makes group-level analyses. And so Somalis, for example, for many decades now, have been given
Starting point is 01:55:47 special privileges in America's immigration system. You have special status for asylum, for refugee programs. And so we've rewarded Somalis on the basis of a group identity. And I think that it's totally fair to say, hey, wait a minute, we can't take everyone from around the world. We have to prioritize by group. We can't judge every single human being around the world as an individual. And the reality is that the Somali community is not coming as individuals. They're coming as a community. And so you can say, you know, there are absolutely great people. wonderful Somalis, the incredible Ayanhorsi Ali is a Somali, incredible woman. But the fact is that they're bringing the cultural systems from Somalia to the United States,
Starting point is 01:56:40 and they're just fundamentally incompatible. That's the brass tacks, the bottom line, the end of the story. And what I was looking for and hoping for was that Somali leaders would stand up, up and say what's happening in our community is wrong. We're going to work with, we're going to work with law enforcement to stamp out this corruption within our own house. But instead, they've gone just the opposite. They're promising that members of their community should have no criticism and should operate with impunity. Tim Wals and even Mayor Fry, how do they survive this? Here's the actual sad truth. I know conservatives are waiting for the backlash to sweep away these corrupt leaders and these feckless and incompetent politicians. But there's something about liberal culture where no amount of chaos, corruption, crime, murder, you know, theft can dissuade them from their core beliefs that our society,
Starting point is 01:57:55 is bad and as a form of penance or or kind of self-flagellation, we have to accept any amount of crime provided that it's committed by people who can check the identity boxes. And so I'm actually pessimistic and skeptical of the idea that Minnesota voters are going to rise up and demand that this corruption stop. You know, I remember Michelle Bachman came to my apartment when I was living in New York City probably about 2008, maybe nine. And she sat me down and she said, Glenn, you got to pay attention to what's happening with our State Department in Minnesota. And I said, what do you mean? And she said, they're moving whole communities into, um, into Minnesota. And she's like, and I said, communities, what do you mean? And she said, Somalis. And I'm like, why would they be moving to
Starting point is 01:58:51 Minnesota? I mean, you come from Somalia. You're, you, what you, You miss being surrounded by feet of snow for six months out of the year. And she said, no, she said, it is the State Department. It's like they selected, you know, Minnesota and moved people in as a community. Was this, was this done? I mean, I'm having a hard time separating, like USAID. I know what that is. We all know what that is.
Starting point is 01:59:20 This is corruption and they knew exactly what they were doing. is this incompetence, just corruption? Is there planning involved in this? Is this, you know, I hate America so much, Cloward and Piven, kind of said, what is this? So there's two arguments that have been floated to answer, in an attempt to answer this question. The first argument is that the left knows how to gain power,
Starting point is 01:59:48 and by importing dependent foreign groups into the populace, They have a client that can provide them with votes in exchange for patronage or in this case corruption, and that this is a strategy to amplify their own domestic political power. The other hypothesis, and I think for me, the more persuasive hypothesis, is that this is just simple, liberal, naivete, and a kind of suicidal empathy, as Gantzad calls it, where they are blind to the consequences of their own actions. They judge on inputs rather than outputs. And for them, the measure is how compassionate can they be,
Starting point is 02:00:34 and any imposition of limits or consequences is seen as a violation of core liberal principles. You know, it might be a combination of the two, but I don't, you know, again, barring evidence that emerges, I would assume that it's more the latter than the former. How do we know for sure that money went to al-Shabaab? Great question. I mean, first of all, there have been schemes over the last decade where counterterrorism officials tell me that every time they're looking at ISIS recruiting, Al-Shabaab recruiting,
Starting point is 02:01:15 radical Islamist recruiting. Minneapolis always shows up. And in fact, it is really the epicenter of foreign terror recruitment in the United States of America. But on the particular question of al-Shabaab, there is the testimony of multiple counterterrorism officials who told us, hey, some of this money is getting siphoned off and essentially taxed by the al-Shabaab terror network. Once it leaves the United States and goes into the Somali informal bank. system. But this is really not in dispute. Even a left-leaning group like the Foundation for Defense of Democracies has long noted that al-Shabaab skims almost all remittance payments that
Starting point is 02:01:59 travel through the country of Somalia. And therefore, it stands to reason if people are stealing from the Minnesota government, sending that money back to Somali through the Hawala remittance system and al-Shabaab is taking their cut uh we're talking about a significant amount of money whether it's intentional or unintentional that the end result is the same al-shabab is receiving american taxpayer dollars that were stolen and then routed through their networks so how is this stopped because i mean it doesn't look like anything in minnesota's going to happen how is this how's this stopped because it it feels honestly and you would know better than I do. It feels like the tip of the iceberg. I mean, you know, today the story from
Starting point is 02:02:44 the GAO on Obamacare, that's completely out of control. USAID, this is happening. I mean, tip of the iceberg, how do we stop this if our politicians won't do anything in the states? Well, there's two things that we can do. I think first off, in this particular case, federal prosecutors have done a great job uncovering these to Molly Fraud. and implementing prosecutions. And so they really deserve enormous credit. But the federal government should do much more. And I would recommend that, you know, health and human services and other welfare departments at the federal level, stop all payments to Minnesota until they have a third-party audit, until they get their fraud under control. And, you know, ultimately, you have to stop giving these people
Starting point is 02:03:35 money if you want them to change their behavior. And so I think a stop payment order on all federal funding to Minnesota programs where there are suspicions of fraud will help clean things up fairly quickly. But the reality is that we have a system in the United States where it's always a third party payer, health insurance, welfare programs, food stamps, autism services, whatever it might be. These are massive third party payer programs. the incentives are, you know, not aligned with people actually enforcing the rules, and they become easy targets for fraudsters. And so Minnesota used to be famous for honesty, fair dealing, good government. And in just a short number of decades, their reputation has now been
Starting point is 02:04:25 completely inverted. And it is, from all of the research that I've done, I think this is likely the largest systematic welfare fraud scheme in American history. And thus making it probably the world. Chris, thanks for everything. I'm so glad that you're part of the blaze. God bless you. Thank you for everything you're doing. Thanks, Glenn.
