Relieffactor.com. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glembach program. Hello, America. We are so glad that you joined us. We have a lot on our plate today. We're going to show you, we're going to show you ways to feel really good about the holiday.

I did something this weekend that was unbelievable. And today, you could do it. also we've got some bad news for you what happened in europe it was a weekend of rage spreading throughout europe it was a concussion wave that just rippled across the continent 20,000 marched in london tear gas and water cannons fired off in belgium as angry rioters tore up paving stones ripped off road signs and through fireworks at police Meanwhile, the same exact scene was taking place simultaneously in the Netherlands. Many of the rioters dawned the famous French yellow vests,

and I haven't even begun to tell you yet what was happening in France. This is the Glenbeck program. That's coming up. First, I want to tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It is American financing. I did something so cool this weekend. I was inspired by Tyler Perry, who Friday released this video where he went off and he just paid off everybody's layaway at Walmart. And I just thought that was great.

And so I talked to my wife and I said, let's go, let's try that. Let's do that. Let's see how much that is. Can we do that? So we found out and we could do it. And so we did. We went in and we paid everybody's layaway off in Walmart. It was incredible.

It sounds like it would be incredible. I can't wait to tell you the whole story. But anyway, what I learned is how close to the edge so many people are firsthand. I mean, I don't know how many people I held and cried on Saturday. It was so cool. People are close to the edge. And if you are one of those people, you're going to get a call from a credit person and they're going to say, hey, you know, we can help you repair your credit.

We can help you get out of, you know, all of those high interest loans. Yeah, well, they destroy your credit, actually. what you want to do is consider if you're having financial problems a service to settle your debt for much less. It's a consolidation loan. You consolidate all your debt. You move it into a new loan that you pay off with a much lower interest rate. You may be able to save $500 to $1,000 every single month just in interest. And you also may be able to increase.

your credit score. So go to American financing. Talk to them about this. Save money and get out of debt. Take a deep breath. Christmas isn't all about the toys and it's not all about the stuff. It's really not. Take a deep breath. It's all going to be good. I want you to call American Financing at 800906 2440. That's 8009062440 Americanfinancing.com. Americanfinancing.com Can Financing Corporation, NMLS-182334, www.computeraccess.org. So while you were probably putting up the Christmas tree or doing something, in Europe they weren't doing that.

Europe, they were kind of raging in the streets. And it was happening in England, Belgium, the Netherlands, and France, where over 130,000 rioters took over the streets all across, France on Sunday more than a thousand people were arrested now this is the fourth straight weekend where the streets of Paris were literally on fire rioters burned cars they smashed windows they looted stores you know there's nothing that says hey you should listen to me politically more than really just looting of a store 90,000 police officers and National Guard

were called in to try just to maintain order in France. The scenes coming out of Europe this weekend look like some third world or war-ravaged country. It looked more like Egypt than it did the continent that gave birth to the Renaissance. So now, tell me why is everybody so pissed off? Macron canceled his fateful gas tax. there is no equivalent being proposed in Belgium. There is no equivalent in the Netherlands or in the UK. Here's what one 67-year-old protester in the Netherlands said.

Our children are hardworking people, but they have to pay taxes everywhere. You can't get housing anymore. It's not going well in Dutch society. The social welfare net we grew up with is gone. Now, if you think, I think the 2008 financial crisis ever really ended. You're wrong. It was swept under the rug.

That's it. It was hidden for a while by a wave of printed money and low interest loans. But just like with socialism, eventually the money well dries. And there's nothing else to pull up in your bucket. Since the 2008 financial crisis, global debt has hit new record levels. and over 300% to GDP ratio, the global debt has now reached more than $240 trillion. The entire world is sitting on a powder keg. By the way, the whole world, if we took everything that everybody made every year, it's about $50 trillion.

But that's it. eventually something's going to light the spark. People mock me so hard when I was at Fox, and I said the Arab Spring might be that spark. The Arab Spring led to the migrant crisis, which also led to the caliphate. The Greek sovereign debt crisis soon followed after. The migrant crisis woke Europeans up to the very real fact that their governments couldn't even provide for them, much less millions of migrants flooding out of the Middle East and Northern Africa. The result was a wave of populist movements on both the left and the right to challenge the

established government. It is exactly the chalkboard I laid out at Fox. Exactly. Macron's gas tax was the latest spark, but this all began 10 years ago. And it's now a monster. It's a monster that the original organizers have completely lost control of. it's spreading. The question is, will it be put out?

Can it be put out before it spreads here? What will the final spark be before Americans begin putting on their own yellow vests? Will it be immigration? Will it be the wall? Healthcare, taxes? Spending? Because the government has failed to listen to the people here as well. Hopefully we don't don't don't don't yellow vests and start burning things.

in the streets. I mean, Antifa's already got that market cornered. I don't think we need any competitors. What's so frustrating is, Stu, you remember, by the way, welcome back, Stu. Thank you, gone. You remember the monologue that I did at Fox with the little blue book? Yes, the coming insurrection. Yes, the coming insurrection. And remember how people said that had no relevance on anything that was happening. This is, this is ridiculous. This is a, this is a,

rarely read book out of France by just the intellectual and universities. And you were, you were, you were blamed for drawing attention to it. Remember they were like, well, you're going to put ideas in people's heads. Oh,

you're doing it. The book that you didn't write in our criticizing, but you're putting the ideas in people's heads. So I, I, I remember holding it up on TV and saying, you have to read this, because this is what's coming.

And I went through it on the air. And it was truly remarkable that nobody listened to it. Because what did it say? If you were one of those who watched the show or if you went out and read it, what it said was, we're a bunch of communists. We've always been communists. But we played along. And we played along with the left.

and all of these socialists, all of these progressives that said they were going to turn us communists. They were going to give us the state. We were going to workers of the world unite. And they lied to us. And they keep telling us, wait, wait, we need some more voices. We need to elect some more people. Just basically the same thing.

We have to have the House and we have to have the Senate and we have to have the White House. If we could just get all three, then, and then nothing happened. And so they were making the case that it's time to tear the system apart. It's time to burn it to the ground because these people are liars. And so we'll burn it to the ground and then we'll take it. And we're going to be able to find people that will work with us to burn it down to the ground. Because people are pissed off on all sides. So let's get them.

That was pretty much the message of the coming in Surveillance. direction, written in France around 2006, 2008, this is what's happening. This is exactly what's happening. And it doesn't take a genius to figure it out. It just takes someone who's not so arrogant. Oh, well, that's just a ridiculous. Take people at their word. When they say they're going to kill somebody, when they say they're going to destroy a government,

what do you say we start taking them at their word? I'm going to destroy the border system. Let's take them at their word. You'd be surprised at just how many things won't surprise you when you actually start taking people seriously and literally. All right. We've changed this half hour here to be able to spend the whole time with you. and not really break except for some live commercials,

but we're going to stay for the whole first half hour of every hour of this broadcast. We're really glad that you're here. Let me tell you about blinds.com. Oh, no, sorry, it's actually... Shamonee. Shammany is a... It's really cool.

And, you know, you're going to a lot of Christmas parties, Glenn. I know you get invited to a lot of them. Oh, and I go to... All of them. All of them. All of them. You get in the Christmas party situation.

and, you know, you get the, some have noticed that occasionally, maybe after around the holidays, and I put on a few pounds, you get the kind of double chin, you get the sort of saggy jawline. It's not always pretty. That's what Chamonilla is dealing with. They've got the brand new genucel jawline treatment, dual peptide, and MDL technology, which they tell me to say, but I don't know what any of it means. All I know is, it's good. Yeah.

But what I do know is it tightens the saggy jawline you may have. Really, can I bathe in it? You can be, yes. I'd like to bathe. in it. You will look like Brad Pitt in his prime. Really? Yeah, if you use this product. I will. I don't think that's, that's not in their... I'll do all of it all the time. All the time.

Bave in this. But this is what it helps with, and it uses all of this new technology that they came up with. It's, it's, it's, Shamini is the only one who has it. And GenuCel is the only one that has it. It works amazingly fast, and the results get better every day. I have no idea how it works, but it works. So that's really all you have to know.

I can't not wait to... talk to you a little bit about what I did this weekend. I'm fascinated by this Walmart thing that you did.

It's fantastic. How do we, I mean, how do I get you to talk about that? Are you going to do it today? I am going to do it today. Because Tyler Perry thing is pretty amazing too. And you, I mean, you basically just copied him, right? I mean, you just scammed his idea. He came up with a good one.

You know, I took it as a challenge. I took it as a challenge. And I challenged others. And I challenged, I challenged everybody. I challenged Stephen Crowder and Ben Shapiro. and Bill O'Reilly challenge going. Just go in and do this. Today is the last day you can do it.

Now, you don't have to, you know, spend the money that Tyler Perry or I spent. You can just go in and, uh, and just do $100 or $50, $10. And you are not going to believe what a difference it makes. I like this because we were, we were shopping on Saturday morning, uh, for a battered women's shelter. And so every year, we help put together a kind of like a toy store for a battered women's shelter. And so the moms can come in and they can just kind of go shopping for their kids. Oh, that's cool. And so we were doing that.

And we were at Walmart. We do it every year. And we just love it. And because you get to go shopping. You're like, okay, we're going to go shop for three, five-year-old boys. And as all he is going to, we just go shopping for, you know, little boys. So we were going to shop for an eight-year-old girl. And so we were at Walmart, and I saw the Tyler Perry thing.

And I thought, hmm, I don't know what that would even cost. I can't even imagine how much that must cost. It was a lot. And I, so I went to Tanya and the kids because they were all there. And I said, I'm going to go up to the manager and just see. would you guys be willing to kind of forego your Christmas, the big Christmas gifts, you know, just kind of just, hey, we're all having, you know,

turkey and something small if, if we did this. And everybody was like, yes. Are you sure you didn't mishear, no? I don't know. I don't know. It was really cool. What country do you live in? I know it was weird.

And so it took them, it took them all day. We actually had to leave, go do some other thing. and they were they took it took a long time to total everything up um and then because it's can you just give the basics here was it's lay away right it's lay away so so this is what and the reason why i liked this is because it was something that um people were working towards they weren't asking for handout they were you know and these are the people who you know they would take from i don't know, $500 to some of them were literally $24 on layaway. And you go and you make payments on it.

And then when you make your last payment, you can take it. And the last day to make a payment is today. And so these people are really struggling, really struggling. And so I just went in and I want to thank American Express, Thank you, the American Express, for shutting off my card. Well, about 40 minutes into it. And I know, seriously, I'm glad they did because I wondered how long it would take because I just kept buying stuff at Walmart over and over and over again. So they didn't give you like a giant tab to pay once.

No, you had to. I thought so. We were supposed to go to a Christmas party. And my wife ended up going. This is your way of getting out a Christmas party. It was. It did work out really well for me. but I thought we were just going to go in and pay one big lump sum, and they couldn't do that.

And so you had to go in to stand there. I don't know how Tyler did it, but I had to go stand there and keep putting my credit card into it and pay them off one by one. And it took just over two hours to do. And they would just, you know, I'd stick the credit card in and they'd hit approve and then they'd pull up another deal. and it would say the price and I'd stick the credit card number in. I still don't know exactly how much it was. I know relatively close, but I don't know exactly how much it was. This is the type of thing.

If I had this information, I could have tweeted to people to go put things on layaway while you were doing this and just everyone could have just made out like bandits. That would have been the way to do it. Thank you. You should have given me a heads up. That would have been fun. So that's why I didn't give you a heads up. And so I'll talk about what I'll talk about what.

I experienced there. But as long as the Lord gives me strength and the ability to do that, I want to do that every year. It has some place, something. Because I felt so many different things. And I remembered so many different things. I remembered, I just remembered what it was like on Christmas. and not being able to afford.

I remember, I know you're going to get into the emotion of it coming up, but it's interesting thinking about, we talk about these policies every day as if they're these abstract things in Washington. I remember Nancy Pelosi saying when people got a, what was at a couple hundred bucks, it was just crumbs off the table when it was a tax cut. And, you know, they talk about, you know, these prices are going up.

You know, cars are going up $1,000. Ah, you know, people can pay an extra $1,000 for a car. These are not, these actually affect people. When you're putting $24 on, layaway, you're in a position where, you know, you're desperately trying to make your kids Christmas just a little bit better. I mean, that is, you know, that is, you know, the fact that you're getting $24 back is a big deal. You just, you, it's easy to forget. But I think most of us have been in this situation to where you're counting, you know, you're standing at the gas pump

and you're counting and you're having to stop it right at a certain amount. And it's, you know, like $3.27. because that's all you have and you're trying to figure out how do I navigate. And then Christmas comes. And Christmas is, Christmas the way we celebrate it now is an absolute lie. That's too strong. I mean, there's a lot of things I love about Christmas. Oh, there's a lot of things. But it's, for instance, have you noticed that it's, and there'll be presents on the tree?

That song, I think it's, there'll be home for Christmas. It's presence on the tree, not under the tree, on the tree. I don't know that I noticed that. Is that Kenny Loggins? No. No. Is that the one that's Kenny Loggins? My wife always listens to that song.

No, I think Ingrid Michelson is the one I've been listening to lately. It's such a great... Do you like Ingrid Michaels? I do quite a bit. Okay, so listen to her new Christmas CD. It just came out a couple of weeks ago. It is my favorite. She...

she wanted to do something traditional and it's really fantastic. But anyway, think of presents on the tree. Right, you can't fit. You're not getting a bike. No. You're not getting anything big. You're getting something small. And that's what

Christmas was really all about. It was a small noticing. And I want to tell you about what you can notice when you give. And prioritize that over receive later on in the broadcast you're listening to glenn beck okay the holidays you want your house to feel welcoming uh you want your house to just you know just look good and it's really expensive to redo your house well there's an easy and affordable makeover that is possible and it is new custom window treatments from blinds dot com now i don't know it

Yeah. Oh, of course. You've done it already. Yep. Everything's up. Yeah. How about you? It's the 10th. I know. thought we were moving. You thought.

Wow, I did miss a lot less. You missed a lot. We closed on our house. We closed. We signed all the papers. They signed all the papers. And then they just didn't deliver the money. Well, it's probably coming today, though, right?

Yeah, they just didn't deliver the money. By the end of the business day today, you'll probably have it. You'll probably have it now. The excuse was, one day the excuse was, no, it's George Bush's funeral. The banks were closed. No, dude, they were not. They were not. I live here.

I mean, what do you think? What is the purpose of signing closing papers and not delivering money? I have no idea. No idea. That was a weird situation. It was a really weird situation. From a guy who's got a lot of money, clearly. Yeah.

But couldn't produce any. No. Oh, the deal is dead. Yeah. I was like, uh, no, I don't think so. He's like, just another day. No. Uh-uh.

No. Thank you. What are you in the mob? You have to go collect money? Break legs? What the hell is that? I mean, I couldn't, you know, the bank. And he would call up and he would say,

uh, the, I'm at the bank right now and they don't know what happened. Okay. All right. Well, just transfer the money. And then he would call later and he would say, uh, well, I was on the phone with the bank. I wasn't there. They didn't give me the transfer codes. And we're like, wait a minute.

Dude, you said you were at the bank. What kind of creepy thing are you involved in? I don't know. It was just weird. It was really weird. Real estate agents were like, well, never seen that one before. So it was bizarre. Anyway, so we started decorating the house and it was, is anybody else?

Okay, when you decorate the tree, is everybody just allowed to just hang all the ornaments, just throw them on the tree? They were allowed to do that? Is there any kind of thought about how to hang the ornaments? I grew up in a really weird. No, we have children. They put the ornaments where they put the ornaments. And then, of course, there's the giant holes and you fill them up later. Yes.

Yeah. What do you do? Hmm? What do you do? Was that a tough sentence? Yeah. I don't understand. I think it was.

So I said, I said towards the end, because I just stopped. And I looked around and I said, am I the only one decorating the tree? And, uh, Tanya said, yeah. And I said, is it is it just me and she said oh yeah no it's you oh it's you what's you well i because were you moving things around yeah because it wasn't yeah you can't do that you can't move things i can't i can't i can't live in a house of the tree that is just i can't do it was it too used to somebody else coming in a decorating no no this is the way i grew up my

mother we have a very you put the christmas you look for the holes and you put the big ones you You put them in the back. You put them inside the tree. And then you layer it out and you put it up. So you fill it all. And we were fine with it as a kid. And I remember liking it. I don't think we did now that I see my kids' reactions to this.

But. So your concern is that your children were not appropriately decorating the tree in symmetrical fashion. No, that they weren't necessarily enjoying the learning experience. of how to decorate a tree. I bet they weren't. I bet they weren't. But your kids are not, you know, judging by how anal you are.

But see, that's the way it used to be. Used to be when they were four. Put them on. And then you go to bed and we'll just rearrange them. You know what I mean? And we had to rearrange them because the dog, they were too low for the dog and the dog might break them. Ah, yes.

Okay. So now that doesn't work because they're 12 and 14. So it's time to show them that you just don't hang that. because that doesn't work. Tanya hates me. And it's so hard because it's sitting there. It's just I'm so, I just, I'm, I'm so OCD with this. And we sit there and watch a movie and I'll notice that halfway through the movie,

I haven't even looked at the screen. I'm looking at the damn tree going, that ornament has to be moved. That has to be moved. And I'm doing everything I can not to move it. It's bad. Yeah, that's borderline psychosis is what that is. Can't we all enjoy the Christmas season? In a psychotic way?

You're a weak kid. You put them all on the tree and then when you go to bed, dad's going to move them all. No, that won't even work. That won't even work. No. It's depressing. Yeah.

That's depressing. That's weird when your kids get to an age where they understand that, you know, dad's psychotic. And, uh, a little Christmas psychosis. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But isn't that what the holidays are all about?

Yes. The one crazy relative that comes and, you know, you're just like, oh, dear God, we have to do this again. Except in your case, that crazy relatives are year round every minute of every day. I can't be alone in this. I can't be alone. It can't just be me. Oh, Tanya was so, she was so, because we have this.

So everybody just stopped then and let you do it? One by one. They just kind of stopped. And it started because I said, wait, wait, wait, you don't put the ornaments on yet. we haven't fluffed the tree because you know how you have if you have a fake tree it's been sitting in a box so everything is just flat and I'm like

look see you can see right out to the patio through the tree because you have to kind of bend the branches and so we're bending the branches oh my gosh that did not sit well well that has to happen with you if you have a fake tree in a box thank you thank you that part is pretty pretty common now we solved this problem

a few years ago when I started advocating for us making it Christmas all year around in our garage. So if you go out to our garage in July, the tree's just up. Pat has a friend. Pat has a friend who has a... In the neighborhood.

It's so great. You walk into their living room. It's beautiful living room. And there's a full wall that slides down the room. And in it are all their Christmas decorations all set up. And all they do is roll them out.

Oh, my gosh. And put them where they go. And then shut the salt. The tree was fully decorated in like a closet. Yes. Completely decorated year round. All they, and it's on a rolling thing.

Oh my gosh. And they just bring it out. And it's ready. We, that's why I'm bummed. We, the house didn't sell because I want to build a house and I'm putting that Christmas. You need to do that.

You see the trees that are all on the set here? Yeah. Okay. Those were all in a property cage. They were just, they just had plastic on top of them. And somebody said, hey,

we got to decorate the studios for Christmas, blah, blah, blah. I come in. the next day, everything's decorated. And I'm like, how did you do this so fast? And they're like, wow. We just took the plastic off and wheeled the trees out. And I'm like, oh my gosh, I forgot we did that.

That is the greatest thing ever. Brilliant. It's awesome. It's awesome. Every house needs that. Yeah. It's like every Jewish house needs two dishwashers. Every Christian house should have a Christmas tree room.

Yes. And it just disappears. And they just over it up and pull it out. Beyond that, they kind of designed their whole house around their Christmas decorations. because they also have an elevator that goes up to the second floor. What? On the elevator, they've got the Christmas decorations for the second floor.

And they take the elevator up to the second floor, roll everything out, and it's all in place. It's pretty awesome system. You know, you have a pretty sweet gig if you're thinking, I'm going to get an elevator from my house. Not because somebody's cripple, but because I don't want to haul the ornaments up. And they're retired. So, yeah, it's pretty sweet. Yeah. Need to be a billionaire.

I know. I need to be a billionaire. Didn't you start this like with the Christmas like it's about too much materialism? Yes. I did. Hey, I got an elevator for my Christmas decorations. That's a quick transition. I don't have an elevator.

I think that's excessive. Oh, okay. So that's the part of the Christmas. Yeah, that's too much. Too many people are putting elevators in their houses for Christmas decorations. Okay. So, Pat, could we just, could we just take a moment, talk about sports just a little.

little bit. I want to throw in something that I think is very important to mention. Dallas Cowboys beat the Eagles. Oh, yeah, that's right. They beat the Philadelphia Eagles last night, right? Did they? Yeah, they did. Yeah, they did. You know, I gave up football after Colin Kaepard started. I just don't like it anymore. Did you? I have a feeling you and your son were there about 50-yard line last night to see them lose. We were there. I will say, you know, you can't win the Super Bowl every year. And this is going to be one of those years. This is a lesson you might know that the Dallas Cowboys are in a middle of a two-and-a-half decade of massive. course on.

Don't really care. I know you don't. But I cared a lot last night. You did. Last night I was suddenly a huge guy. Me too. Weirdly enough. Well, the Packers are going right to the bowl this year.

They're going to the same place the Philadelphia Eagles are, which is great. The NFL draft in a high pick is where they're going. It's been a horrible, a horrible football season. There's been some interesting developments on the college side, though, over the past couple weeks. Over the weekend, Kyler Murray, University of Oklahoma quarterback, won the Heisman trophy. And because he won the Heisman trophy and got some accolades, people had to search through

his Twitter feed to find anything that might be anywhere near offensive. He's a witch! Yeah, well, it wasn't that. But he did use the word queer in a tweet. Oh, boy. When he was 14 years old. No, he did not. He did not.

years old. Yes, this bastard should go to prison. It's a real con. You're not asking for, you're not asking for the death penalty? Oh, absolutely I am. Okay, you just said he should go to prison. Well, prison while he awaits burning at the state. Okay, good.

Yes. Good, good. Isn't Q in LGBTQ? Yes, that was my thing today. I'm sorry, but it's one of the cues. Right. Right. LGBTQQIA2 plus, one of the cues is queer!

And it leads... So why is that offensive to anybody? Why? It leads Quiltbag to Electric Bugaloo. It's the first cue. It's the first cue. In Quiltbag, too. Yes.

Electric Boogaloo, which I... In fact, I think it's the only Q in quilt bag. It is. Right? Yeah, because I don't think question... Or maybe they like to do that with Q, they just divide your questioning and queer. In case you're a normal human being, Quilt bag is actually the new thing instead of...

LGBTQ Q IA2 Plus Right So Quil back two Plus Quil back two gives you All the most of the letters

Yeah no plus That's why we added in electric Boogaloo because it just feels like It's gonna cover whatever else is next It's gonna happen But that's amazing So he's really is he getting Legitimate Heat over this

In fact some people are calling for him To have the Heisman take it away Because he used the word Queer when he was In a derogatory way years old. Again, in 14 years old. He was like talking to his friends and one of the, one of his tweets was, y'all are

queers. Wow, that's, uh, holy cow, I can't imagine they. Keep in mind, 14. You know, I mean, I talked to, I talked to my son again. They've got to get off social media. Kids have to get off social media and stay off it. And it's not just social media. If you have an email account, thank God, my son does not have any of these things.

My kids don't have these things. They're not on Twitter or Facebook or. No, good God, no. Yeah. But even emails. Because emails, they're around forever, they'll come back to haunt you. They will. Nothing.

You are not at an- Nothing electronic. Yes, you are not at an age to be able to handle that. I have to tell you, I had an amazing conversation with my son this weekend about electronics. He went in, we went in for tithing on Saturday. And he went with, and he was just in his, you know, know, 14-year-old kind of mood. And we left and I said, what is your deal, dude?

And we had this amazing conversation that I think, I know he's not alone in. I just know he's not alone in. And it's electronics in the world today and, you know, what is meaningful, what has meaning, you know, the fight of, you know, right and wrong. I mean, it's, our kids, man, are facing stuff that no other generation has faced. It's, it's tough. Well, I was, I was amazing, you know, on vacation saw the Kevin Hart thing that I know you mentioned earlier on the show.

And it's like, here's a guy who did some things that he didn't, that we look back at 2010, 2011 that were bad, right? And like he said things that were homophobic, at least what all the stories were. And now he's saying he's not. not homophobic, right? He's not, doesn't feel that way anymore. What's the point of all this? Like, in 2000, like, isn't your argument that you want to convince people that, you know, being homophobic is bad? And you want people to change their mind about that and come to a point where they no longer think it's bad, right? Like, that's the whole issue that you're supposed to be addressing

if you're a gay rights activist. So here's a guy who was, you know, said things he didn't like, you know, you don't like back in the day, but it's changed, hasn't done it in a long time, and is saying he doesn't feel that way anymore. Didn't you accomplish what you? you wanted with him? No. No, there is no forgiveness. There's no mercy anymore. That's...

Think of this. If you're trying to cause chaos, we know who the author of chaos is. Why would forgiveness play in any of that? Yeah. It doesn't. It doesn't. Thanks, Pat.

Thanks, Pat. All right, let me tell you about say anything. You know, when a friend casually says something and it makes you stop and think or your kids say something and it makes you stop and think, it can give you a really different perspective. and you can really learn about them. And that is what happens whenever you and your family get together and play the game, say anything.

You answer simple questions from one of the cards. It's really easy. But it's amazing to see how your kid's imagination works. You'll begin to see things through your kids' eyes. It's really amazing for the parents to learn. And everybody's laughing and have a good time. It's called say anything. Say anything.

Brilliant at showing everybody's perspective. Now you can get it right now for the holidays. Make sure you give them this game. It's available at Target. It's in a new white box. It's in the toy section. Just ask for it. It's called Say Anything.

You can find it now at Target. Say anything. Thanks so much for joining us. It is Monday. We have a ton to share with you today. Are you going to tell us about the Walmart store? I am. When we come back.

When we come back, after the top of the hour. I'm going to tell the Walmart story. The white Tyler Perry is hosting your radio program. That's what you have today. I was so inspired by what Tyler Perry did. I took it as a challenge. And I challenged others to do the same that are in a position like I am.

But I'm going to show you how you can actually do this as well. But it has happened today, at least at Walmart. Has to happen today. Today's the last day. Everybody has to come pick up their stuff today. Why is that? I don't know. it's just a thing.

Layaway ends on December 10th or whatever it is. Oh, okay. So they probably need the product to go back on the shelves if you're going to pay it off or whatever. Maybe. And I experienced something I've never experienced before. And I don't know how many people will ever experience. And I want to share it because I want you to experience it too. It should have been a TV show.

I mean, the people that behind the counter said, we should have put cameras up. This is so unbelievable. It was just so. cool. And the people are still, Walmart still going through it today and yesterday. Just the one that I paid off everybody's layaway. It's so cool.

I'll tell you how you can get involved in your local area. Coming up in just a second. So I want to tell you about our sponsor this F hour. It's home title lock. Home title lock sent an FBI, a retired FBI out here. And

he was going to do a show with me. in. He came in. A little disconcerting, I would say, is the word I would use. Yeah, he came in with the title of my home. He came in with a fake notary that he had bought online for like 20 bucks for the state of Texas. And he had the documents from the courthouse. And he had all my information. He said, all I have to do is just notarize this, sign it, and your house is mine.

Like, what are you talking about for 40 bucks? and it's, you know, it's illegal to do, but you're doing it through a legal process. It's crazy how easy it is to sealstone's house. So here's what you need to do. They borrow against that mortgage and then you're up for the loan that you never took out and you've lost your home. Please make sure that this hasn't happened to you.

I had one of the greatest experiences of my life. And I want to share it with you because I can't keep this. I mean, it's just so, it was so great. And I want to show you how you can do what Tyler Perry did. Tyler Perry on Friday inspired me. He went to two Walmarts and he paid for everybody's layaway. Everybody. He did it in one.

Then he went to the other. I think it cost him $470,000 to do to Walmart. So I saw that and I looked at that as a challenge. I'm in a position to where I could help. So I went to my Walmart and I did that at my Walmart. And you can do kind of the same thing. It doesn't have to be a whole lot of money. You just pay off one person on Layaway and I have to tell you what it feels like.

coming up. This is the Glenn Beck program. Before we get to that, I want to talk to you a little bit about LifeLock. By the way, we've got a new thing that we're starting here on the program that we're together for this first half hour. We've tried to get rid of all those long commercial breaks. And we're just going to stop a couple of times and stop for about a minute and then right back into the show.

So LifeLock has a reminder for you. When you're shopping this holiday season, make sure you don't shop at a site online that doesn't have SSL encryption. I don't even know what this means, but the URL should start with HTPS instead of just HDPS, and it will have an icon of a locked padlock, usually to the left of the URL. Have you seen this?

Am I the only one that hasn't looked for this? I've definitely noticed it, but you don't check it every time. Just assume it's okay. Don't shop at anything that doesn't have that, okay? And don't share your social security number or your birthday, and make sure you check your bank. statements for transactions that you didn't make.

Now is the time that this kind of fraud goes through the roof where they're trying to steal your identity and your bank account numbers and everything else. You need LifeLock. They use proprietary technology to detect and alert you to a wide range of identity threats. Norton, now LifeLock comes with Norton security, protects your devices against all the cyber threats like malware. It is so well worth your time to get it and your money. it is really well worth it.

Everybody on the show has it, and we've had it for a long time, and they have saved us multiple times. Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or cybercrime or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but no matter the season, LifeLock with Norton Security is the right choice to help look out for threats that you might miss on your own.

So, you know, when you give, you're supposed to give silently. However, I took what Tyler Perry did as a challenge. On Friday, I saw this Tyler Perry video. It said, hey, I just went to this Walmart in Atlanta. And then I went to this other Walmart in Atlanta.

And I paid off everybody's layaway. So go get it. If you put anything on layaway, go get it. And I thought that was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. And I never even thought of it. I never even thought of it. And the more I thought about it, the more I liked it, because these were the people who were not asking for handouts. These were the people who are really trying to earn the money, to get the money, to be able to get it for Christmas or whatever.

And so Walmart has this layaway thing where you can put things on layaway until December 10th. and so you can you can make payments throughout the years. And so on Saturday morning, we usually do this thing. Our church, our local church, has adopted this women's shelter. And so we all get together and we all go shopping at the Walmart for all these children's toys. And so I was there early in the morning and I was just thinking of the Tyler Perry thing. And I said, honey, have you seen that Tyler Perry really? And she said, what do you want to do?

And I said, I just want to, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I want to see if, I mean, I don't even know what it cost. This is before I heard what Tyler had, uh, spent. And, uh, and, and she said, uh, a lot, honey. And I said, I know, but, you know, if we, if, if, if we just scrimp and save and we don't spend a lot of money on our Christmas and, you know, it will just, you know, this would be a good thing. and she said, okay, I'm in. And so we went, I went and I talked to the lady at Walmart. Her name was Gabrielle, which I thought was great, the angel Gabriel. And I think she thought I was crazy.

I think she thought I wasn't serious. And I said, could I, could I, is it possible to, to just pay everybody's stuff off? And she said, yeah. And I said, even if I don't know them, and she said, yes and I said okay and she said I said how do I do that she said get in line and the line was really long and so I said I'll come back and I'm if she believed me she probably didn't think I'd ever come back so then a couple of hours later after we did some stuff we called and said can you can you just total all that up and so she did a few hours later she calls with the

with the and number which was about double of what we had thought it might be. And that's why I had a family meeting and said, kids, a dad doesn't really believe in college anyway. And so we were getting ready to go to a Christmas party. And we called and we said, okay, so we want to do this. And she said, I've got, you know, I've got everybody assembled and we're ready to go. And I thought it was just to like, you know, put the credit card through and everybody

is going to be like, yay, we're helping people out. And it was actually an ordeal because I couldn't pay it in a lump sum. I had to do one by one individually. So it took over two hours to process. Now, here's where it gets really cool. So we're doing this. Layaway is still open for an hour. The first hour I'm doing this, layway is still open.

And so people are coming in to make the final payment on their layaway. And so they said when we first started, she said, this is going to take a while. This will be a while. And I'm like, okay. And she said, so that other register over there is also layaway. And we can steer everybody there. Now, do you want to pay for people who are coming in? And I said, yes, but I don't want them to know.

And she said, okay, so we devised this plan to where people would come over to the register and they'd say, I want to pay off layaway. and they'd give their name, and then the person behind the counter, we go, okay, Betsy, so-and-so. And then we would look up Betsy, so-and-so, and we'd pay it off if he hadn't already paid it off. And so the first woman who did this, it was one of the greatest things I've ever seen or been involved with. Everybody at Walmart was crying. This woman comes up and she had to pay off, I think it was like $94. And so they bring all the stuff out.

She had four children. They brought all the toys out. And then we paid it real quick without her knowing. And then she said, the lady got behind the counter and rang it up. She said, okay, your total then is one penny. And the lady said, what? She said, you owe one penny. And she said, oh, no, there has to be a mistake.

I it's it's just over a hundred dollars and she said no somebody came in and paid this for you and I kind of I'm kind of three quarter turned away from her I want to watch her in my peripheral and she just bursts into tears just bursts into tears and she said this is a miracle this is a miracle and she has to actually stand over the side for a while to collect herself. And she said, please can I get the name of the person who did this? I have to at least, she said,

no, they don't want to know. She said, I have to at least send them a card. And she said, and then all of the Walmart people looked at me, like, you know,

say something. And so I looked over and I said, I'd rather just have a hug than a card. And she came over and she, she said This has been the worst year of my life She said my husband left me I just lost my house

I have four kids I needed to do something for their Christmas She said I have been paying for these toys Over the months And she said I'm working three jobs I just got the hundred dollars to pay for it She said

Now I have the money to buy food so we can have a Christmas meal. It was so incredible. And it was story like that after story like that, after story like that. This grandmother, she was standing in the back because there were several people that we did this to. And I didn't say anything to any of those people. But she was standing in the back. She was like four people maybe back.

And so she had time to watch what was happening at our counter, you know, probably because she was probably pissed. She's like, why is this guy taking so long? And so she was watching. And when it came to the $100, she actually came up and she said, she pulled out a $10 bill. And she said, I need to cancel my layaway because she didn't have the money. And it was literally like, I don't even remember. It was like $47. And the stuff came out. And it was two baby blankets. And like this little, literally, I don't even know, $25 Fisher Price thing. And she said, I need to cancel. And they said, no, somebody has already paid.

And then she just whipped around and she looked at me and she said, it's you, isn't it? And I said, I don't know what you're talking about. And she started to cry. And she came over and she said, it's my first grandchild's. first Christmas. And she said, I have been laying awake for the last three days

trying to figure out a way to be able to afford just something simple that I wanted to give him. And she didn't have the money to do it. It reconnects you. It grounds you. It

My kids were with me And Mary was the one inserting the credit cards And it's the memory of my Christmas with Mary Where Dad couldn't afford something from CVS To get for her for Christmas We've all been there And this

off casper dot com terms and conditions do apply so i remember when mary was i think nine and I couldn't afford anything for Christmas. And I remember feeling like I am the worst dad in the world. How did this happen to me? What have I done with my life? And it was just horrible because you think you need to do all these things for your children for Christmas. and you don't, you don't. The Christmas, I wrote about this in a book called The Christmas Sweater.

My last Christmas with my mom, I was, I think 14 or 15, and I got a sweater, and it was all, it's all she could afford. It's all she could do. I'm sure it had been a layaway. That came back to me, rushing back to me. and I didn't appreciate it. And it haunted me for a long, long time, that Christmas sweater. And I, because I didn't appreciate it when she gave it to me.

And I knew at the time she was hoping that I would like it. She was hoping that one president of the tree would be enough for a snotty teenager. and I think in my own way I let her know that it wasn't and it destroyed me for so long but Christmas is not about the presents I look back on Christmas now

and I don't I don't remember getting any specific present except that sweater I don't remember getting I don't I don't remember toys, whatever I wanted. I don't remember what I got.

But I remember the time. I remember decorating the tree. And I remember listening to my grandparents' talk. And I remember sitting at the table. And I remember playing Chinese checkers. I remember watching, you know, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. And my dad going, damn, is it this time of year again? I have to watch this damn thing again.

I remember all of that And none of that came from a store I told my daughter today and my wife They wanted to put up a nativity scene in the house And I said you know I've always threatened to do this But nobody will go buy chicken wire Go buy chicken wire today By the time I get home

Chicken wire I don't even know where you buy it But buy some chicken wire and get some newspapers And then get some spray cans And some spray paint Because I'm going to make a nativity scene that will blow your mind and we'll make it together. I got that from my mom.

I remember my mom making it. And it was so cool. And I remember making it with her. I remember watching her. That's the Christmas that we really need to reconnect. You know, as I was standing in Walmart, my son is struggling right now with God. He doesn't know if God exists.

And, you know, some of my friends are freaking out, oh, you got to get him to. No, I don't. No, I don't. I have to get him to understand he should try to find God. But everybody's got to find God on their own. He should try because it makes a difference. If he exists, if he exists, then it will change your behavior. but if you don't know he exists, why are you wasting the time?

And if you don't, if you find out, you say, I don't believe him. And I've done my homework and I really don't believe him. Great. Then what is it that's going to make you do the things that, you know, change you as a person? My son and I were talking yesterday. And I said, I, son, I don't think I, I wouldn't have taken you to Walmart. had I not had a God experience? I wouldn't have.

Why would I? I said, do you know how many college classes you could have taken? Why would I? I wouldn't have had the faith that it's all going to work out in the end. I wouldn't, I would have been focused on, are you kidding me? You know what I could have bought with that? I would have wanted that. And I would have thought, well, you know, other people,

you know, I'll help out, but, you know, other people are struggling. No, I'm grateful. I am grateful. My relationship with God has made me thankful, grateful. I've been through that. And I may someday go through it again. But it's all going to be fine. Why should I care about other people?

Because they are my brother and sister. They're my literal brother and sister. We're all brothers and sisters And we all come from the same place And we should Celebrate that And help each other Today's the last day for a Walmart layaway

There's some interesting things going on with freedom of speech that we should talk about. And I'm going to address something at the top of next hour that we'll further this.

But you heard about Kyler Murray. Kyler Murray. I'm surprised you've heard of Kyler Murray. It came on my radar because it's a speech thing. He was a Heisman trophy winner. I don't know anything about him. Good guy, bad guy. Do you know, do you care?

Seems like a good guy. But, I mean, he's a two-sport athlete. He's going to wind up probably playing baseball and not football, which is pretty amazing. He's like an amazing athlete. Okay. So he won the Heisman trophy and now he's, did they take it away or were they threatening to take it away? There are some that want to happen, but there are some that want to take it away.

Okay. They want to take away because when he was 14 years old, he said on a tweet, knock it off, guys, you're queer. Oh my gosh. He did that when he was 14? Oh, we've got to run him out of society. I'm surprised he hadn't been killed yet. Carl Benjamin, Sargon of a cod, big YouTube guy. He was de-platformed this weekend.

And Gavin McGuinness. Let me, as I, I'm going to address. some things at the top of next hour, but I want to give you one more piece to this puzzle before I do. A leading expert on the ethical, legal, and social implications of bioscience has now revealed her concerns over handing over the control of our minds. Nita Ferhani has detailed her fears of artificial intelligence in the workplace and has outlined that it could lead to the loss of jobs over employees. thoughts. She is now revealed how more and more companies are looking into the idea of making

EEG devices a compulsory part of their uniform. The wearable headset, which is now used to monitor alertness, productivity, and mental state is already being used in China. Train drivers on the Beijing, Shanghai high-speed rail are required to wear the technology. And according to some reports, in government-run factories in China, the employees are also required to wear the EEG sensors to monitor their productivity as well. So here's what happens. And I've read about this,

and I think we addressed it in the book, Addicted to Outrage. It is a system now where they put these sensors in a cap, and then you have to wear this cap. And it can show when you're distracted. It can show when you're angry. It can show when you're frustrated. it will show when you're experiencing all kinds of different thoughts, when you're tired.

And the boss will be able to see that. And now the boss sits in a room and is monitoring everybody's brainwaves. And it tells them that there is a problem. And so then they stop the line and go down to that person and say, hey, your EEG looks like it's slipping. What's the deal? Or just say, go home. and you get, you know, one go home, and the next time you get a go home, I don't know what happens to you in China, but I don't think anybody wants to find out.

She says there's an increasing number of worldwide interest in the technology, which could lead to people being fired just for their thoughts. In a world of total brain transparency, who would dare have a political or creative thought? Artificial intelligence worn now in the workplace. I worry people will self-censor in fear of being ostracized by society or that people will lose their job because of waning attention or emotional instability or because they're contemplating collective action against their employers. That coming out will no longer be an option because people's brains will long ago have revealed their sexual orientation, their political ideologies. their religious preferences well before they were ready or able to consciously share that information with other people. I worry about our laws and the ability of our laws to keep up with technological change. Take the First Amendment on the U.S. Constitution, which protects freedom of speech.

But does the First Amendment protect freedom of thought? She is a professor in law and philosophy. She was inspired to study brain activity after the 2009 presidential election protest in Iran. She revealed how when she called her parents during the violent crackdowns, they would be too scared to tell her the truth about what was going on in fear of the government listening in. Her fears increased when she contemplated the possibility of a big. officials now being able to read people's thoughts. We are in very interesting times.

How do we navigate? Who has a right to tell you not to think it? See, there's one thing that no one can take away from you. And that's what's in your head. No one can take away your thoughts. They are who you are. Your thoughts are creative. They build who you are.

Like it or not, you build who you are. But that's no longer true. They can take away your thoughts. They can violate that one space that has always been private. New technology was released last week of a camera sort of device that they're using now on animals. and it's one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. It takes a picture of the animal, but then it takes some sort of infrared,

or I don't even know what this technology is, but it can actually read the thoughts of the animal. And what it does is it takes a picture or a series of pictures and it shows the animal thinking about moving before it does. So the next series of pictures kind of center around the brain, of the animal and it shows a distortion of the animal either turning or moving forward or whatever it's going to do it can read the mind of where the animal is going to move now they do this in rats they've done this in geese and chickens and dogs they can shoot this thing at people or i mean at

animals and for instance if you're in a if a rat is in a maze it can predict which way it's going to turn, it can now predict if it's going to turn around. It can see the moment of decision. It can see the moment of, I've made a mistake, I've got to turn around. And they can predict it now.

Now, that's just the entry level. But just think of that on the scope of a rifle. Think of that on a drone. Think of that with AI. You want to talk about no escape. There is no escape. escape, it will know which way you're going to turn.

And think about it because you were mentioning it with animals that popped into my head of hunting. I mean, eventually technology comes around where hunting is not much of a challenge, if you know which way the animal is going to move. But of course, as you typically would, took it to a bunch of humans being murdered. But it's true. That's where it's going. That's where it's going.

I mean, think about that. I mean, with AI, because you've talked about artificial intelligence quite a bit, and we a bunch of this stuff on tour and stuff of the abilities of this when it actually gets to the level it can it can do this on its own i mean so you missed friday show did you hear what google announced uh no okay so google announced a uh that on thursday night there was an evolutionary leap in ai that it now has uh its own human-like intuition they thought it was at least a decade away way. But they put AI, they gave it a chess board, they gave it chess pieces and a clock, you know, one of those clocks, okay, told it nothing.

Within four hours, it figured out what it was, started to play, and can beat a grandmaster in four hours from not being taught anything, not being taught anything. Not being taught anything. It just had to look at the things and say, this is what this is. and then learn to play it and then master it in four hours. They thought that that machine learning would, that evolutionary jump there would be at least 10 years away. We hit it on Friday, Thursday night.

It happened on Thursday night. This is much closer than anybody thinks. That's incredible too, because being on vacation did not hear that story at all. No. Well, you don't hear that cross from you every day. I don't get that. In all seriousness,

that's where I hear a lot of it. Yeah. And that should be a huge story. There was a huge story every week, every day last week on AI. Huge. Like massive. Huge. Now, what do you think the governments of the world are going to do with technology like this?

I mean, and if you think that the technologists won't do it, Google's already doing it in China. They may not do it with us, but they're going to do it with everybody else. What do you think France would do today with that technology? if they could, if they knew who were going to throw things, they knew what people were going to do. Would you ever make it to the scene of the protest? Or would you be rounded up? If you don't think this is possible, thought crime is already being implemented in England now. Thought crime arresting before you do anything.

So we're starting to slip past the First Amendment. We're starting to slip past, gee, do I? have a right to say something, we obviously as a society are all rejecting that. We cannot reject that. We have to take it a step further. I have a right to speech and I have a right to my own thoughts. Get out of my head. More on this.

Welcome back to the program. It is Monday, December 10th. We're glad you're with you. We're with you. And when you're with us. Do you hear the story? And I think you remember this, Glenn. a video of an assistant principal who went out to a pro-life protest.

And he was screaming at the kids doing the pro-life protest. At one point said, I don't give an F what Jesus tells me about where I should and should not be doing. You're harassing public school students. I will call the police if you don't shut up. They went out, and these were teenagers and was vicious to them and was just like mocking God and all sorts of stuff. Well, of course, it went viral. He was being filmed. He didn't, I don't think he realized it at the time, was being filmed.

They suspended him initially and then finally got rid of him from the job. And it's interesting now. He's somewhat contrite at this point, it seems like. His life has apparently been ruined. He's not getting a lot of job offers after this behavior. And he can't, he can't seem to find a gig. No one really wants to talk to him. he sent over 200 applications out last summer,

had a few interviews, one potential employer ended up blocking his phone number apparently after seeing the video. But worries, he will never work in education again. I don't want this to define me, he said. It's interesting, though, looking at this,

and if he is actually contrite, what's again the lesson here? Like, if he is, if what he did was wrong and he's able to, he's actually contrite about it and admits what he did was wrong, do we want him out of,

out of, you know, employment forever. This is from LifeSight News, who wrote this up, a big time pro-life organization. Listen to this last one. I thought this was interesting. This is how they end the article. Although Ruff's actions were clearly out of line, he is a human being who deserves forgiveness

for what he did and restoration. Hopefully he feels true contrition for his actions and will be able to find a job where he can be a positive and supportive role model for others, regardless of their viewpoints on abortion. Let's talk to him. Let's see if he's willing to come on. I don't know if he is.

Yeah. But see if he's willing to come on. You know, we all scream for justice. I think we need to start screaming a little bit more for mercy. Grace. You know? I mean, you know, what is it, you know, for Patriots, dreams who, who love mercy more than life? I mean, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's really what we were, we're supposed to be, when we, when we got together here as a

country that we would stand for justice, but we would also stand for mercy. And is there no mercy anymore? More in a minute. I don't want you to miss the next segment. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glembach program.

Phony self-righteousness. That's why so many Americans can't stand mainstream media. And we have another textbook example of it over the weekend. Aimed at Heisman trophy winner, Kyler Murray. In fact, we have a few names to add to the de-platformed list today.

Saturday, Murray was the first. He plays quarterback for the University of Oklahoma. He was awarded the Heisman as the best college football player in the country. Huge honor. Unforgettable night for the 21-year-old. But then came Sunday

morning's fallout. Hit piece by Scott Gleason in USA Today. Gleason had his crack reporting that he dug deep into Kyler Murray's shady past on Twitter. Yes, Gleason uncovered the absolutely shocking, completely unheard of truth that 14-year-old boys say immature things when they're bantering with their friends. It's almost too appalling to imagine. Murray, when he was 14 and 15, tweeted to his friends and said, knock it off, you're a bunch

of queers. Oh my gosh, but the horrors continue. We begin there right now. This is the Glenn Beck program. You never are more than 30 seconds away from the broadcast. Now we've changed the first half hour of this program. So we are together the whole first half hour of every hour. We've kind of tried to move the spots and take some of the commercials away.

So it's a little easier and we're together more in this half hour. I want to tell you a little bit about lifelike. our sponsor, they have an important security reminder. All of the holiday shopping that you're doing right now, if you do not shop at anything online that doesn't have an SSL encryption, I don't even, I didn't even know this, but it starts up in the URL,

This means it's a safe site. I'm secure and safe. Right, but a lot of, you know, if you go to a place that doesn't have that, you're at risk. Yeah, don't give any information. Don't share your Social Security number, your birthday. Don't, you know, and check your bank accounts. This is, this is the time of the year that, you know, cybercriminals are looking to steal information, and they're looking for your information.

I cannot believe that Kyler Murray is still a allowed to walk the streets. Saturday, he won the Heisman trophy. Sunday, USA Today reporter, oh man, he's working on the big story, Scott Gleason, he went to work and he started going through his Twitter and he discovered that at 14 years old, yeah, Kyler Murray used the word queer. Wow. Which is now acceptable, right?

I don't know if it was when he was 14, but now queer is in. in LGBTQ. Yeah. It's one of the cues. Whatever. Whatever, Stu. Whatever's too. It's an anti-gay slur.

And I don't care how old you were. And I don't care that it was many, many, many years ago. He had to apologize. And he did. He issued an apology for something that he had said seven years ago while he was in junior high. Oh, man. Scott Gleeson. Scott Gleeson, I wish we had your Twitter feed.

I wish we had your Twitter feed from when you were 14 or 12 or however old you were when you were doing stupid stuff. because we all did stupid stuff. You know, if the media wants to continue this witch hunt, it's never going to end. Because I don't know anybody who hasn't said stupid and embarrassing stuff, especially in junior high. What are we doing?

There's one thing that matters to me. Really deeply matters. And that is the Bill of Rights. It is the only thing that brought us together and will hold us. us together. And we should be looking at enforcing and and empowering people with the Bill of Rights because without the Bill of Rights, man will shove and beat and shout down and silence and kill whomever the collective wants. All in the name of progress. All in the name of safety. All in the name of understanding or our children. But they're not standing for the Bill of Rights. They're not

standing for progress. They're standing for the dark ages. And if you're going to truly stand for the Bill of Rights, and not your right, doesn't matter what's your right. Stand for the rights of others. When it's the rights of others in a time of collective madness, I warn you, you're putting your life and your livelihood in danger. But I also promise you nothing you do in your life will be worth more. It is my sincerest hope that in the end, my children can say, my dad stood for the rights of others.

And he stood for justice, real justice. And he stood for mercy. When the world lost its mind and lost its sense of decency. But I also want to warn you, when you have to stand for other people's rights, it's going to make you very uncomfortable. It's going to put you in uncomfortable situations and you're going to be defending things that you don't want to defend. It's messy.

You have to decide what's right and wrong. And then you have to defend someone's right even if and maybe perhaps even more so or especially if you disagree with how they use that right. We live in dangerous and perilous times. I was on the phone last night, almost midnight with a friend who called Sid Glenn. I'm about to do something insane. and you're the only guy I could call because it sounds like something you would do. Abort, whatever it was. I said the exact opposite.

It sounds good to me so far. I said, do you believe in it? He said, yes. And I said, then why are you wasting your time calling me? There's nothing better than doing what you believe in. And if it destroys you, so be it. Something better will come along. We live in dangerous and perilous times.

One mistake and your career. and it's not just this career, it's your career, any career, one mistake, and your career could be over. Every day, if you're in the media, you wonder, is this the day that the jackals come to devour me for some reason or another, for some past transgression or stupid error, or is it maybe perhaps this monologue that will end my career? And if it's not something I've done, it doesn't matter. They'll just twist your words. they'll creatively edit your words. They'll smear you.

And if that doesn't work, they'll threaten your life or the lives of the ones that you love. I have many friends now, many. I used to be the only guy I knew that needed to have security. I have many friends now who have constant threats on their life. And it's from both sides. You know, it's amazing. I want to talk about Gavin McGinnis here in a second. but Gavin, CRTV, not the Blaze media, not Glenn Beck.

I had nothing to do with it. This was an old thing that CRTV had been dealing with. I think, I don't know. It's up to them. I had nothing to do with it. And it's certainly not the way I would have handled it. But he is out. Now, last week, I just spoke to Gavin.

In fact, Gavin is on my show tonight, and it's something we re-regulated. we recorded last week about the dangers of getting fired, the dangers of being witch hunted. Now, why, if I had something to do with his termination, would I have him scheduled? And that program is airing today. That program is airing. I don't care who it makes uncomfortable. It's airing. Because this is something important we should be talking about.

So after we recorded that last week, I talked to him. I said, I'm worried about your family. they've had more than bricks through windows. I'm worried about your family. I told him I wanted him to reach out to a few of my friends who could advise him on safety. Because whatever you think of people like this Heisman trophy winner or Gavin McGinnis, I don't know him, but I know a lot of people who do and they all say the same thing. I may not agree with his approach, but he is not what Antiphon needs him to be.

And notice that I use the word needs him to be. Because people who wish to destroy us, they need boogeymen. They need those men who have said or done something in the past that you're not going to like. You're not going to want to defend. And so you won't. Even if you correct your mistakes, even if you correct it before anyone noticed. You had a change of heart. You apologized.

You ask for forgiveness. There is no redemption. There is no redemption in America anymore. And why? Because anyone who is building their life around spreading chaos is on the opposite side of anyone who preaches forgiveness. And that's a fact. So the left targets and isolates and polarizes and destroys anyone who will not comply. and they can pick voices off one by one because fear is a very powerful gag.

Now it's easy for anyone to say, well, then don't pick the voices that have done something or said something stupid to be out front. Really? Really? Because I think when they were going over the Heisman trophy winner, I think they probably looked into. Is this a decent young man? No, apparently he's not, according to USA Today, because, Because their crack reporters have so much with everything that's happening in the world. They've got a crack reporter who's on the case. I found out what this kid was doing in junior high. My gosh, he was also kissing girls out back when he told his parents he wasn't.

Let's burn him. It's easy to say, let's just get the right people. I want to talk to you about that in a minute. First, only about 30 seconds away from more of the show at any given time. 100% drug-free relief factor created by doctors. Four key ingredients that help keep your body fighting against inflammation. If you don't sleep well at night, if your neck, your shoulder, your back, your hip, your knee, you have foot pain. Are there things that you're doing, are the things that you're doing, are the things that you're doing,

that are keeping you from doing the things you want to do? How about just going for a walk? How about golf, tennis? How about this one? Just opening a jar. This is the most emasculating thing in my life is when my pain is so bad, I cannot open a jar and I have to hand it to my wife. I know it's stupid, but it just is.

Try the three-week quick start. $19.95. $1 a day. It's a trial pack. You try it for three weeks. 70% of the people who try it or go on to order the three week at Quick Start, they order more because it works. It did for me. Get your life back.

Try it now. Relieffactor.com. That's relieffactor.com. You know, I just like to remind USA Today and everyone else that even the icons of the civil rights, even these guys who have a day named after them, are deeply flawed. Martin Luther King was far from perfect. That man was commingling with communists, you know. He was sleeping with women other than his wife. But how about FDR?

How about JFK? How about even the king of family values? Now it sounds quaint now, but in 1980, it wasn't so quaint. My gosh, a divorced Hollywood B actor, Ronald Reagan? Oh my gosh, and he talks about family values. You know he lived in Hollywood and he was divorced. He has problems with his kids. You only know that because he was on the wrong side.

The other side? You know, FDR wasn't even shown in his wheelchair. Wasn't even shown in his wheelchair. They're still arguing that his statue in Washington, D.C. should not reveal his wheelchair. And the wheelchair is no big deal. You know, he died. He died with his mistress.

There's nobody that covered that. Nobody covers that until somebody these icons like Martin Luther King, it isn't radical enough or communist enough. Then the leftist gatekeepers, well, then they'll reveal who that man really was. I got news for you. Nobody can lead us. Nobody is qualified.

Nobody's Jesus. And politics have always been tough and brutal. Jefferson called Adams, whom he was running against a hermaphrodite. Now, if somebody today on the right called somebody else a hamaphrodite, you'd be chased from the public square. You'd never be heard from again. Well, how about the Heisman trophy winner?

How about Kevin Hart? Fired over very politically incorrect and corporately indefensible things last week. He lost his job for the Oscars. I stand with Kevin Hart. I still do. Roseanne. Roseanne, a Democratic socialist. She's bat crap crazy.

In 2009, she called for the literal beheading of all bankers who make over $100,000 a year. And she wasn't kidding. But you didn't really hear about it because people on the left, people in power just were like, Ah, it's Roseanne. She's a crazy socialist. She's on her side. I like it. Until she's strangely, this socialist, this democratic socialist,

decides she was suddenly for this capitalist Trump. Then, oh my gosh, everything she says, even a much less egregious statement, which did not call for the public execution of an entire group of people. She was just kicked in the head repeatedly. This was a messy decision, for me, at least. I got to stand with a Bill of Rights. Where do I stand?

Where do I stand? I don't like Rosanne. I don't like. She is a crazy woman. She's a democratic socialist. I don't like her. She has a right to say it, doesn't she? So I have to stand with Roseanne.

However, ABC is a is a, is a, a, uh, a, uh, a, uh, a privately run company. It's, it's, it's, you know, it's open for shareholders. The shareholders are going to be screaming bloody murder. Don't they have a right to fire when they say, well, no, we don't think. this is appropriate, don't they? Yes, so I have to stand for them too. And you know what that gets you? Kicked in the head from both sides. Meanwhile, I hated sticking up for either side. But it's gasoline on a pyre. I stood with James Gunn, who personally cost me a great deal. Because what he said that started this whole thing, he said against a very good friend of mine,

Ben Shapiro. That's what caused the witch hunt. What he said in a video that was taped, you know, years in the past, what he said in jokes and as a comedy writer and provocateur was indefensible to me personally, but he had to write to do it. So again, I get kicked in the head from both sides. But I don't have a problem with that. And kick me in the head all day long.

I'm going to continue to do what I believe is right. because who made me God? Who gave me the right to judge and condemn and then keep them down even when they ask for forgiveness? Who made you God? Who made any organizations on the left or right God? Because I know who God is. Currently, it's a co-chair position between Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook and Jack from Twitter. That's who we think God is now.

We have lost our minds. And we're losing our rights. But that's what always happens when people lose their God. Speech is not free if a minority of very vocal activists can not only shut it down in individuals, but make an entire country fear and cower. Honestly, in my younger days, I would have been much worse than, well, I don't know about that. I would have done many things. I would have done many things that these people are.

Kevin Hart or Gavin McGuinness. I would have, because I, it's in me. In my 20s and 30s, I would have gone the opposite direction that society told me to go. In defiance alone, I would have said everything they told me not to say. I would have done everything they told me, you don't dare do this. Or really, you've just guaranteed I'm going to do that. And I would have done it proudly because it's an American act of defiance. It makes us who we are.

I have no king but God. We're rebels. We're the dreamers. We're the doers. But we get to do it because we dream and we rebel. And everyone who tells us we can't do it, we shouldn't do it. It's crazy. We do it anyway.

That's what put our feet on the moon. Freedom of speech in this country has a very long history. history. And it's important. I stand with the outcast and the out of the odd balls and the misfits. I seek out the newly humbled and those who need forgiveness because in the end, I need forgiveness. And the country I used to know was populated with a whole bunch of people that also didn't want to cast the first stone because they too needed forgiveness. You're listening to Glenn Beck. All right.

elliot north carolina hello elliot welcome elliot are you there yes what i am you are good you're taking my call you bet and thanks so much for holding for so long that's no problem it's my pleasure so real quick i live in phaithville north carolina long time listener first time caller and i was listening to your segment about the tyler perry challenge and your experience this past weekend at Walmart. Yes. And as I was listening to it, you finished your segment, and I looked up, and there was the Walmart.

So I pulled in the Walmart. I had an amount of money that I thought that I wanted to donate to somebody. So I found the layaway counter, gotten this long line. I was thinking, oh, this is going to take a little bit. And this kid came up behind me. So I started talking about the Tyler Perry challenge, and if he had heard of it, about it. And he said, no, he hadn't. And I said, well, I was just listening to Glenn Beck. And he goes, Glenn Beck? And I said, yeah, I was listening, Glenn Beck. And I said,

how much do you owe for your payoff? And he told me the amount. And it was within $2 of the amount that I had my head. So I reached in my pocket, pulled out the money, and I said, here, I want to pay off your layaway. His jaw hit the ground. He just, He was speechless for like 30 seconds, and he was like, you're listening to Glendek. And I was like, yeah. And he said, this is fantastic. He said, I've been, I put this stuff on layaway from my kids, and I'm here to pick it up. And this is just wonderful.

And the feeling that I felt in my chest was incredible. And that was one of the reasons I pulled over because I had that same feeling listening to you, reiterate your experience at Walmart with your kids. Yeah. And I just wanted to share it. I am so glad, Elliot. Spread it. Tell everybody just to do it.

Today's the last day you could do it, at least at Walmart, but you can find another place with Layaway, I'm sure. But everybody has to have it paid off by today. And it's just, it's a great blessing. Thank you so much, Elliot. I appreciate it. God bless you. No.

Thank you, Glenn. God bless you. You bet. So if you don't know what the Tyler Perry challenge is, he went into two Walmarts on Friday, and he paid for everything in Layaway. Cost him $400, I think $470,000. $470,000, okay? I was going to say, that was a really good bargain for $470,000. $470,000 for two Walmarts.

I'm not Tyler Perry, at least not this year. And so, and I had never thought of that. I had never even thought of it. It's a really cool idea. It's a great idea. And Tyler Perry is, you know, getting some heat, you know, oh, how come, you, you know, you should give in silence. Tyler Perry, that was inspirational. And I think, too, he intended on doing it anonymously initially.

And I don't know exactly what happened where he was outed in some way. Because you're not surprised. If it's happening like it happened with me, you're there for two hours. Right. Okay. And so I decided, I talked to me. my wife and we decided that we were going to do a Walmart here in Texas. And so we selected a Walmart and we went in on Saturday night and we paid for everything

on layaway. Well, they started getting, when you do that, it will send, we didn't know this until about, you know, a third of the way in. It starts sending out text messages. Hey, come get your item. It's available. And so people started calling and they were confirmed. fused and they were like, what, what is, what, what, what just happened? And, uh, they said, oh, we had a

good Samaritan. He just, uh, he just paid that off. And people were crying and call. I mean, it was, is so great. Now, I didn't know that you could do it for individuals, but you can. You can go in and just for whatever amount you want. You can, you can, you know, you could. try to gather as many $100 bills as you can from every friend that you know and go in and pay a good portion of this down for people. You could take, you know, $10 and pay it down. The people that I encountered that I saw because I was there doing the transactions, because I had to pay for them all individually. I couldn't just pay a lump sum.

so I was there for a couple of hours and so I saw some of the people and their reactions $10 means the world. $10 means the world. It's so incredible. And you can get involved, I mean, because charity goes both ways. And I've decided to get involved in the challenge by putting on Layaway a bunch of big screen TV

strategically near celebrities' homes. My thought is, I'm going to get some free stuff out of this. And they'll feel better because if they go into a, if they go into a Walmart and they pay off all the layaway and it's like, oh, we only had $27 of layaway, they're not going to feel like they did enough. And so you need to step in like me to load it up with some 4K. So if they pay these TVs off, I'll get them and they'll be like, wow, I did something good for them. So I don't know, I don't know how you feel about this.

But I thought about asking, okay, so are there things like, you know, big screen TVs and things like that that people put on layaway that, you know, they're not really struggling. And I decided not to ask because I didn't want, I didn't want to pick and choose. Because you don't know. You know what I mean? And, uh, I mean, you could have done maybe under a dollar amount, right? Like if someone has a $1,000 thing.

Uh, somebody had a very expensive, uh, thing that I didn't know. I only saw it. I didn't know what anybody was buying. I just saw the, the price and it was, it was expensive. but it turned out to be a box of they had six children. And so it was a box of toys and clothing and stuff like that. So they had put, you know, their six children and it was a single mom. I mean, so you couldn't, I just didn't want to know.

No, yeah, you just, I mean, that's better. If you can do it, obviously, look, you've been blessed with being able to help people like that, which is. We have. And there's been years when we needed help. Yeah. And it might change again. we might need help someday. So it's just, I encourage you to do this.

You don't, I don't even know if you can just call them and do it, but it's a good Samaritan program that they had. I didn't even know you had this. You can just go in with five bucks or 20 or 100 or whatever. Today is the last day. Everybody has to pay it off today. So there are lines there now. But what I want you to do is,

is call Walmart or go buy Walmart or another store that has layaway. and just help. If you have it, it's really a cool thing. It's really, really a cool thing. I prefer to think of you in sort of the caricature of a devil with satanic horns out of the top of your skull. And this does not help. This does not help my vision.

And I reject it for that reason. I'm sorry to confuse that. I really am very, very sorry. It's much easier. Yeah, well. To just, just, you know, just, you know, just really hate you. So I'm going to go back to that world. No, no, no, no. You can, you can hear all this crap and then still hate my gods. That's right. I guess I could just give

credit to Tanya for the wonderful gesture. He had nothing to do it. Here's what you say. Okay. He's only doing this for publicity. Yes. That's what you say. That's what you say. If he really wanted to do it, he would be quiet about it. I've always, that's such a strange argument to me. Because I mean, certainly like, that's not supposed to be your motivation, right? I mean, we certainly can look at the Bible and see examples of, if you're doing it for self-aggrandizement, it's not a good idea. It's not a good reason. So that's what, because I wrestled with this because Tyler Perry inspired me. I wouldn't even, I wouldn't have done it not because my heart was heart.

I just never even thought of it. And so he inspired me. And I'm like, if he didn't say anything, you wouldn't have been inspired. I wouldn't have been inspired. And so I hope the same thing. I'm telling you, the girls behind. the counter. One of the girls, I don't want to say which one. She had worked it. She had worked there for a long time. They were, they were so great, so great. And one of them, we were just talking about how they were, you know, in different ways, each of them struggling. And one of them had worked at Walmart, I think, for like 17 years and or 20 years. And, Um, she started when she was young and she was living in her car and she just needed a job to pay for gas and food.

And Walmart, you know, paid well and had great benefits and everything else. And she worked her way up. And now she's a, you know, I don't know if, you know, she's on, you know, first name basis with Mr. Wall or Mr. Walmart, but, uh, she's a, you know, she's a big deal there. And, um, and she's still, I mean, she's, She carries it with her. And each of the girls that were helping, they all had been in that situation. I had been in that situation.

And it was so cool that, I mean, they said, we should have made this into a TV show. Because it's just infectious. It's just you crave it more. It's so cool. Do yourself a favor. Give yourself a gift. Go do this. just go do this.

You will you'll feast on it for days. So you're doing it selfishly. It's selfish giving. You're saying. I always say that's always a, you know, I'm a big believer that everything that we do in life is selfish in some way.

This is a nine-rend sort of a... I just think it's virtue. I don't know. I do think it is part of it. It's not necessarily a negative. No. I think because I think that's how we're built.

When you serve people, you leave there feeling better. It does something to you. I don't know what it is, but I think it's a God thing. I think that's the way we were designed. We were designed to help each other. And we lose our way and we start becoming depressed

and we start just thinking about us and all of our problems. And the best way to cure all that is to serve other people. And it sounds horrible. And I never want to do it. I'm on my way to, you know, hey, you know, so-and-so needs help at their house. I don't want to do it. Can I call hire somebody to do that?

I don't want to go do that. But you do it and you're driving back and you're feeling guilty. You're like, why did I want to do that? That made me feel so good. You know, it's like exercise. There's just something. That's a lie. The exercise one's a lie.

The charity one's true. The exercise one, you're just sore and then you get injured. Those are the two things that happen. You know what happens? You die in a treadmill someday. That's the end of the story. Okay, I'm willing to go with that one. Can we agree on the goodness thing?

The goodness thing is great. Yeah. The exercise thing is death. Good. All right. Good. I'm cool. Okay, I'm cool. Glad we nailed that.

Yep, thank you. Merry Christmas. So have you noticed that your home might be a little colder when you wake up? Could be that you need to change your home's filters. Until recently, I had completely forgotten about that. I remember my dad doing something with that. You know, I'd just rather sell my house than actually have to fix something or change the filters. But I've lived in this one now for a while.

and changed them. And I was, wow, that's not good. That's not good. You can actually really hurt your system if you're not changing the filters. And by your system, I mean the HVAC system, your heater or your air conditioner, but also your system because of all the crap you're breathing in. Filterby.com is America's leading provider of HVAC filters for homes and small businesses. And they're all made here.

You can choose from 600 different sizes. And they're all made in America in there. Some of them are custom-made. if you need. They ship within 24 hours. Now, if you need the extra reminder, which is very, very helpful, so I don't kill my air conditioning unit or my heating unit, I can change my filters, but I'm never going to Home Depot, and I'm never going to remember to go online and order them again. I never will.

So that's why I have the auto order. You can subscribe for auto replacement, and then they just arrive at your door, and then you open your door, and you're like, oh, wow, I've got to do it a change. change my filter, you pull the old one out, put the own new one in, and you're done. Save 5% when you subscribe. Set it and forget about it. Never think about filters again. Kind of like where I used to be.

Filter by, filterbui.com. That's filterby.com. Let me go to Dow in Texas. Hello, Dow. You're on the Glenn Beck program. Hey, Glenn. Yes, sir. The Walmart thing is great.

And those people can really appreciate it. it. But I own a couple of pawn shops in the central Texas region. Yes. And if you really, really want to touch people that are, you talk about struggling, trying to make it, live it on the edge, that's where those people are. At pawn shops. You want to make sure. So how do you, I've, I've not done any business with a pawn shop before.

So is it just, they sell, they just sell their sales. stuff and they're hoping that nobody comes in and buys it, right? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I want, you know, everybody to come buy this stuff. I want people that get alone with me. I do not want anybody's stuff. I want everybody to get their stuff back. Right, that's what I mean.

So, so when you go in, you can say, I don't want to buy any of this. I want to pay this one off. And then you would call the owner of that and say, hey, come get your stuff. Well, I'm talking about the layaways. We do a bunch of layaways at the pawn shop. Oh, layaways. So come pay the layaways off at the pawn shop.

Wow. Okay. Because that's, that is where people are shopping that really don't have money. That's great, Del. Thank you so much. I never, I never thought of that. You know, there was, uh, uh, As I was at this Walmart that I went to, it was the one that, you know, is, you know, relatively close to my house.

It's in North Richland Hills. And the, I said to them, I said, before we started, this is like not. I mean, these are struggling. And they were like, oh, my gosh, these are struggling people. Yes. And afterwards, I said, where in the Dallas-Fort Worth area really? struggling. She said, boy, there's a couple of places. She said, where, you know, socks are on layaway. And they have, they have nothing. And the people in these areas, they'll go to these, these places where they're, they can get free toys for their kids, but they're all used.

And she said, I had to do it with my kids once. And she said, they're just, I mean, you just can't, they can't even use them because they're so bad. We just, we just need to see the need around us and do what. what we can in the holiday season. All right. We'll see you tonight at 5 o'clock. Oh, this is a don't miss show on the blazedtv.com. You're listening to Glenn Beck.
