Starting point is 00:00:30 me tell you about Rough Greens, whether your dog is an old codger who just likes to nap on the front porch, a young puppy who's constantly getting under your feet or somewhere in between the two. You love him and you want to make sure he's healthy and has a happy life. You want him or her to be there and be there for a long time for the family. Caring for your dog is a big responsibility. And if you're feeding him kibble food, you need to know that that has nothing alive in it. It's dead food. it can sit on the shelf for about two and a half years.
Starting point is 00:01:00 You need to put back in all the stuff that had been baked out of it. Minerals, probiotics, antioxidants. If it's healthy for your dog, it is in rough greens, and you just sprinkle it on top of your dog's food. They love it, and you'll see a difference in your dog. I did with my dog instantly. He ate his food for one, and probably a month into it, I couldn't believe how much energy he had.
Starting point is 00:01:25 roughgreens.com slash Beck, roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833, Glenn 33. The Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It is Monday. A lot to discuss good and bad. Strength is the key.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Our vision on what we want in our country and what we're willing to stand up for is key. People have been standing up all over the weekend. And we'll tell you about that coming up. First, let me tell you about relief factor. Waking up every morning, getting out of bed. If it sucks, you know what makes it worse? Knowing as soon as you do, you're going to start hurting.
Starting point is 00:03:26 If you're living with pain, you want to get your life back. I'm here to tell you that I understand firsthand what it is like. It's called relief factor. That's what turned my life around. Changed my pain. Relief factor. When I tried everything else and everything else failed, I tried this. I didn't think it would work.
Starting point is 00:03:47 It's a daily supplement. It helps your body fight that pain. 100% drug-free developed by doctors to reduce inflammation. And over a million people have tried relief factors quick start, and 70% of them go on to order more again and again. See how relief factor can help you with their three-week quick start. It's 1995. Comes with relief factors feel better or your money-back guarantee.
Starting point is 00:04:11 T. So try it. Relieffactor.com. 1-800, the number four, relief. 800, the number four, relief. Feel the difference with relieffactor.com. All right, so over the weekend, last few days, larger pro-Hamas marches have taken place. Three hundred thousand now in one London event, accompanied by the usual chance from the river to the sea and other catchy standards like kill the Jew, you know. So if it rhymes, it must be true. Hey, hey, ho, ho. Per protocol, these are well on their way to become mostly peaceful protests. And when I say they're becoming mostly peaceful, I don't mean that they're becoming mostly peaceful.
Starting point is 00:05:04 One Jewish man killed in California last week, hit in the head with a megaphone, or he may have viciously attacked the megaphone with his head and lost. We're not sure yet. In New York, I don't know if you saw the video, they took down American flags from streetlights to burn. In one UK neighborhood, the police took down a fed-up residence British flag, not Israel, but the British flags as to, quote, not anger the PLO flag-waving mob. Listen to this. One policeman when questioned said, the quiet part out loud,
Starting point is 00:05:44 quote, there are way more of them than there are of us, end quote. I don't know. That might send a chill down the bone, uh, all way down, deep, deep, deep into your bones.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Don't be surprised if burning cities are next. There's been more. than one round of riots in America, fueled by racial issues. Another one will come, but where's Martin Luther King? His marches don't seem to be among any of the marches that we're seeing today. He would not have been burning flags. Why? Around the world, there were plenty of riots and revolts against colonial governments
Starting point is 00:06:32 back when those were a thing, but those were not. Gandhi's thing. Gandhi went so far to go on a hunger strike against the violence instigated by his own side. Why? Well, in both cases, these exceptional men led movements that carried the day, and that happened because they made their point in a way we've all but forgotten, all the while making the point of how difficult and truly unique in history, that way is. Non-violence. Doesn't happen.
Starting point is 00:07:14 No less important that in both of these cases, they made their point to societies already receptive to those points. Primed for the change, an MLK or Gandhi would push. Primed. You have been primed.
Starting point is 00:07:29 The media primes you every day. The media is getting you set for, I don't know, war overseas and maybe war at home. That's what you're being primed for every day. And I'm not going to play a role in it. In most societies in history, such protests would have ended with MLK or Gandhi facing government troops and they just would have gunned them down. Before it even started, no water hoses, no jail, just machine guns and then silence.
Starting point is 00:08:05 What would happen today if these peaceful protests like those guys did in Tehran or Beijing or Hong Kong? You know what would happen. In Iran, you're slaughtered in the street. In Beijing or Hong Kong, you just are disappeared. MLK and Gandhi made their point in Western societies that were built on Judeo-Christian values and principles, justice, rule of law, the value of life. Martin Luther King, he didn't burn American flags. He approached America and embraced the American ideals.
Starting point is 00:08:50 His eternal mission statement that we've all heard a million times, I have a dream. But he said, I have a dream that one nation, one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. That's Martin Luther King. He didn't seek revenge. He didn't want to overthrow the West or dismantle America.
Starting point is 00:09:17 He loved America for who she could be and challenged her to live up to that promise. Well, I do the same thing today. America, I know who we can be. Let's live up to that. How different are today's protests in the streets? No challenge, no common ground for values. Only cynical exploitation against the West itself of tolerance, love of peace, or sympathy for selected underdogs. But no call to be better, not together at least, not based on the values vision of the best civilization ever built by man.
Starting point is 00:10:05 No, they have to be turned on themselves, and that society needs to be destroyed. Instead, from the river to the sea, death to the Jew, death to Israel, death to America, just so you know who's next, death to America. Here's my favorite from the weekend, Sharia law now, just so you know what comes next. and you know what? Freedom of speech. In our country, you should be able to say it. But we should be listening closely and taking the warning and not be fooled. This is not about justice or defending the weak or the innocent. They could say we believe in a free Palestine living side by side with Israel. But Hamas is ISIS, inhuman monsters who deserve what's coming to them. We call on Hamas. to surrender unconditionally and release all of the hostages.
Starting point is 00:11:08 We call on the people of Gaza to produce new leadership, willing to live at peace with Israel and rebuild Gaza for its citizens. If they did that, the fighting would stop today. We have yet to hear anything remotely like this from the millions that apparently prefer from the river to the sea. So this isn't about struggling infants and innocence. This isn't about peace or justice. This isn't really about the Jew or Israel. They're just the first target.
Starting point is 00:11:47 They always are. This is a wedge to be used in dismantling the Western way of life. That's all this is using what it has left of its own values against its self. Well, I feel bad for the innocent. Yes, of course you do. Of course you do. But we in the West have to stand, not with violence of our own, but firmly and on the solid ground of those very same values that made us who we are. And that ground, this is the last patch of ground, gang. We go incredibly dark if we lose these last values. It is, we're playing. We're playing. We're for the soul of the West, and I mean that literally.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Speech has to be allowed no matter how despicable. But when you start burning and killing and calling for the destruction of the very society you are protesting in, something else is at play here. Tolerance ends there. No destruction, no death, no fires. No. We have to be really clear. so they can't fool us into turning our own values against us.
Starting point is 00:13:11 That's what's been happening to us. And it's not who we are. It's not who we are. They are turning us into everything we despise. We need to square our shoulders to say, we are not going to allow you to turn us into this. You will not cause us to call the things we've always known are good, We're not going to do it.
Starting point is 00:13:43 You will not cause us to sink into guilt, real or imagined, over the sins of this civilization's past. Just because they were committed by people who may have looked like some of us, I'm not responsible. Let's talk about the things that are going on today. if you surround yourself in guilt and shame, you will forget the shining promise that only this very civilization has held aloft, brought forth into the world for the first time that we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. In other countries, you have to answer for the sins of the father. You can't change your station in life. You are born. and where you are born and who you came from is all that matters.
Starting point is 00:14:45 The past. America is about the future. We're not going to buy into it. No, not here. There's no such thing as collective salvation. I hold no guilt for the sins of the past. I hold guilt for my sins of admission or omission, the things that I do or fail to do today.
Starting point is 00:15:07 and that's why I stand. I know who I am. I know my sins. And I know who and what is the only thing capable of taking those away. And it ain't you, Jack. Says nothing. Truth has nothing to do with reverse racism, as that is racism in a shiny new box for people who are too dumb or just not paying attention.
Starting point is 00:15:37 It has nothing to do about only caring about the children who, are dying in Gaza. Life is life. What about the boy fighting for his life today in Great Britain, who the state says, we can't keep him alive on life support anymore? Collective medicine is deciding for the parents. The parents have a place to move him. They can pay for it. But the collective has to do what is best for the collective. So they will decide that this kid dies. What about the kids that are being mutilated, sterilized by the same kind of doctors who did this in Germany and make no mistake, Doc, that's exactly who you will be remembered as. Or the teenagers in Canada that are depressed that the collective medical workers will assist in killing today. Let's not forget about those who
Starting point is 00:16:30 want to shout their abortion. All of these things are evil. All of these are about the collective and God and Christ is about the individual one-on-one. America is about the personal one-on-one. I stand for the innocent. I stand for the individual. I stand for life. That's who we are, gang. Don't forget it.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Sear it. Live it every day. I stand for the grand and sacred ideas. is that our country stands for still today. While she has one breath in her, she stands for the values, the past, and that promise for the future. Back in a minute. Okay, history is so important. If you want to know how we got here, you got to know history.
Starting point is 00:17:37 You want to know who you are. You got to know your family history. and I know that may not sound really important to a lot of people. It wasn't to me until I started finding out who my relatives were. They were just a bunch of nobodies, except for a couple of them did something really remarkable. Nothing you'll ever read about in a history book. But it gives me strength. Right now, Legacy Box wants you to take their preservation of family history to the next level.

Starting point is 00:19:34 Yes. I'm very interested to hear about this weekend you had. A strangely controversial I hear. Really? Yeah. On social media, people are like, Tony Robbins is the Antichrist. And I'm like, well, he is big. But I don't know if the anti-crice is going to be big and have big huge banana hands like he has. But no, it was really inspirational.
Starting point is 00:19:59 I've seen him before. I've never taken a full course of his until this time. But I've seen him before. I've been to, you know, I've just kind of walked in and visited some of his seminars because we were friends. And this was, I mean, I think he knows what time it is. He was talking about being a Christian from the stage. He talked about God a lot. I mean, he gives room for everybody else.
Starting point is 00:20:24 But, you know, he was like at one point, I think he said, God's the only answer. Like it or not, God's the only answer. Hmm. Yeah. That's interesting. He's not necessarily thought of that way. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Apparently he is, but we didn't. Not necessarily what he's known for. Yeah. And I was shocked on Thursday. He started the seminar. I mean, I thought he was doing my show. He started the seminar with ESG and The Great Reset. Really?
Starting point is 00:20:52 Yeah, because he's known as a business guy. Right. And so he was like, you know, the world's on fire. World's on fire. And here are some things that you need to know. And he went through them. And then he was like, okay, so now what are we going to do? We're going to sit here and be afraid of it or not?
Starting point is 00:21:09 And I'm like, well, that's why I'm here. I don't know which one. So. Well, I have more questions. I know we don't have much time right now to do this, but I have questions about some of your social media posts. Okay. From the past few days.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Okay. I would like some answers on what exactly happened. What did I see happen? Do you have feet left? Lots of questions I have. Deeply banished. Bandaged. Very.
Starting point is 00:21:43 If you are not. Bloody stumps. On Glenn's social media, you might not know that Glenn posted a video of himself walking on hot coals from the Tony Roberts. And I did it for a reason. Well, I want to hear about this. We'll get into it in a little while. Let me give you some things that are in our show prep today that we're not going to have time today to get to, but they're also important. FBI officials, according to whistleblowers, singled out agents, FBI agents who were former military for anti-exams.
Starting point is 00:22:15 anti-Trump retaliation. So we now know that they were doing exactly that. IRS has launched an audit into a conservative organization that helped tank nominees for key administrative posts. So we know now they're using the IRS as a weapon. The feds are targeting Eric Adams, the governor of, or I mean, I'm sorry, the mayor of New York City. we're wondering if he's doing that because he questioned Joe Biden and spoke out against immigration. And there's a new survey shows 24% of Americans know somebody who might take up arms against the government. And Army ammunition plant is tied to mass shootings across the U.S.

Starting point is 00:25:28 Well, hello, Pat Gray. How are you? Hello, Glenn Beck. I'm good. You? Oh, my. Good. Bottom of your feet burned completely off.
Starting point is 00:25:35 No. No. I mean, it is crazy. It is crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy. I went to the Tony Robbins seminar, unleash the power. Power. Yeah, thank you. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:25:46 And the first day, he's like, tonight, we're going to firewalk. And Tanya and I looked at each other and went, no, I don't know. I don't think we are. And the whole point of it is to show that you can do things. If you set your mind to it and you're in the right frame of mind, you can do things you think are impossible. And he takes, I think we firewalked like at 10 o'clock or 10.30 at night. And he takes about two hours to place you in this, in this zone. And he's like, look, don't do this if you're not in the zone.
Starting point is 00:26:30 And he, you know, they have people that will pull you from line if you're not really focused. And he tells you exactly what to do. And then he walks across the fire. And we were right behind him. He walks across fire. And then he comes back to the front of the line. And Rave went first. Wow.
Starting point is 00:26:51 I saw him. He was talking to Rife and, you know, really, you know, this got a blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I don't know what he said, but he was talking to him for a while. And then he sends Rave across the fire. And Rave is just like, yeah. And then my wife is next. And he's, wait, you let your kid and your wife go first? They got in line.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Oh, no, no, no. They wanted. They were. So they went. Wow, women and children first. It really doesn't work that way. It does that. You bet it does.
Starting point is 00:27:20 And so then my wife went next and he talked to her for a while and then sent her off. And I get up there and I'm, you know, I'm the third in line. And I'm like, this is going to hurt. And he just looks at me and he's like, you got this, dude, go. Like, no, I really don't think I do. Wait, wait, what did you say to them? Did you give them some special key? Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:27:42 I just went. And it was. Amazing. Amazing. So, wait, is there some scam to it? Is it like they're not really that hot? Yeah, like, what's the scam? No, he said the opposite. Do not run across them.
Starting point is 00:27:56 You've got to be certain in your steps. Just if you watch the video, I'm like, yes, yes. Yeah, yeah. And you're actually saying cool moss, cool moss, cool moss, cool moss. You're thinking that this is just a mossy floor and it's all cool. And you don't, he said, Do not look down. Don't look down.
Starting point is 00:28:18 He said, because you will see and it'll take you out of the state. Don't. And so I'm watching them. They have these, the fires were built by a fire team early in the day. And then they are made into hot coals and then shoveled into wheelbarrows. And those wheelbarrows, I mean, they're just glowing red. All the coals, glowing red. And then they come in about every five people or so.
Starting point is 00:28:47 They shovel the coals out again. So there's fresh hot coals in front of you. You don't want steel coals. You want the fresh hot ones. No, yeah. Don't you? Yeah. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:28:59 And then they immediately, when you get to the other side, you have to wipe your feet because in case you have anything stuck to your foot. And then they wash, they hit it with a hose. And so there's nothing on your foot. Is there like a layer at the top? That's not as hot? No. No.
Starting point is 00:29:19 It doesn't seem like they would just go right through your feet. Tanya got a small blister. Rave got a small blister. I don't have feet left. No, nothing happened to me, but those two. Not even a blister. Not even a blister. It's bizarre.
Starting point is 00:29:36 It is bizarre. But it's, again. He's been doing this for a long time. Yeah. He said he's been doing. it for like 25 years or something like that, million people have firewalked with him. That's incredible. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:52 And it doesn't see, it seems like in today's day and age, they would never, even if it was completely safe and there's no risk at all, they would be, you have to be eliminating from society. Well, he said, just about the time we were to go, he said, look, I, he said, please take this seriously. I've had 11 people who were burned, had to go to the hospital. he said and in all the years I've done it
Starting point is 00:30:17 two have died from infections from that burn Oh my God That's what the entire audience said And then he was like No I'm screwing with you We're like Because we all said what
Starting point is 00:30:27 We looked at each other like I don't think I'm gonna do this Even if it's two out of a million You're still like I'm not doing that I'm not doing it No but he said I have gotten badly burned He said I became arrogant
Starting point is 00:30:42 I fell out of state And he said, my last step, I'm like, yeah, I got this. And he said, burned my foot really badly. He's like, these are hot. These are hot. And they were. I was on them. And you could feel they were hot.
Starting point is 00:30:59 No, could not. But they looked hot. I know they were hot. Wouldn't have reached down into that fire and grabbed any of them. But it did not feel hot. If you put your hands over the colds, you'd feel the heat. Oh, yeah. You could feel the heat.
Starting point is 00:31:13 the heat coming towards you, you know, and they're shoveling stuff and you're seeing the little waves in the air. Yeah, it's hot. That is bizarre. It's really bizarre. And the idea is basically you could do whatever you want to do if you put your mind to it. That's essentially the concept. You know, I went to his seminar because, you know, as you might imagine, well, as you are,
Starting point is 00:31:35 you can get beaten down by the world. And I've really struggled the last year, and I've talked to Tony several times. and just feel beaten at times. And the one thing I did with Firewalk was, if I can do this, I can withstand anything. That's my whole thought line on that was, really, dude, oh, you're going to do what to me? I've walked on fire.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Right, right. You know what I mean? Yeah. And he's right. It is, you know, he opened up with like, I don't know, maybe an hour of what the world, what's going on in the world. And I mean, he sounded like he was doing my show. And he talked about ESG and Klaus Schwab and everything else because it's mainly a business thing, I think. Or at least that's what he's kind of known for.
Starting point is 00:32:34 And he was like, so the world's on fire. So now what are we going to do? we can either sit here and go, oh, no, the world's on fire and be paralyzed, or we're going to walk through it. He's like, because we get to the other side. We do get to the other side. So how are we going to do that? Got to lock your mind into, you know, as he said,
Starting point is 00:33:00 they're going to be winners and losers. They're going to be those who lose. It might think they're winning right now. And there are going to be those of us in this economy who are going to lose a lot. He said, but that doesn't mean you lose everything. And that doesn't mean that you lose yourself. And it doesn't, you know, you could do well in this economy. I don't know how to do that.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Yeah. Yeah. So overall inspiring, like you were. Rafe's a different kid. Really? Rafe's a different kid. Now I'll see how it holds. You know, because he's got to do, you know, Tone.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Tony is like, I'm not your guru. I'm going to see you here. And then you're going to leave and you're going to do your life. And it's all up to you. His whole thing is you have the power within you to do it. And he shows you how to keep it up. Whether we do it or not is up to us. Tony's not going to be there every day to kind of.
Starting point is 00:33:59 No. I'm not. No, I know. I was a little bit. That's what I would say. I was like, I know what I paid for this ticket? At least he could do.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Yeah. But it's, you know, he talked about, and I started my day like this today. He said, you have to have an hour before you begin your day. And he said, the first thing you need to do is to get into a state of gratitude. And he said, the way I do it is I write a note to somebody or people that I have noticed did something that is just amazing. And that way I, because I'm doing it every day, I have to notice the good things around me. And he said, that puts me in this state of gratitude.
Starting point is 00:34:50 And then I send that gratitude to the people that I've noticed and in a tangible way. And they become grateful.

Well, you watch the Tony Robbins conference. I hate flocking stuff. You came out and you're like, hey, buy this mug that's not for sale. Yeah. Well, this mug is for sale. I was just told during the break. This is the mug. This one I really like.
Starting point is 00:39:00 This mug is for sale. It's not a big, jeep. No, it's a... Tumblr? Yeah. Okay. And it's got the big GB logo on it. Very cool. And it'll piss all your, now holds 33% more leftist ears. Really? Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:39:14 I didn't know that. Very interesting. So Ben Shapiro. I up ours. Now up yours. Oh, now see, that's wrong. All right. Did you see that Bishop Strickland has been forced to resign?
Starting point is 00:39:32 Yeah, he said some things. I guess he wasn't allowed to say. You're not allowed to be critical of... It's weird. It's weird. Yeah, he was critical of the Pope. He was critical of... I think he called Joe Biden evil, an evil president.
Starting point is 00:39:51 And he's been removed, which is really weird because I think you can molest children and some popes won't have you removed. But this one, this one, he's out. And it's very rare that you... he would do this. He's from Texas, right? This guy? Yeah. An outspoken critic. Tyler, Texas, I think. Yeah. You're right. And so now he was asked to resign and he said, fire me. I'm not. I'm telling people to follow the Lord. I believe you're Pope, but I believe that you are wrong. And I'm just telling people follow Jesus. And the Pope said, that's not a good enough or whatever. Is it Mario or the Pope? And so I hope to be able to talk to him because it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it was quite the battle here.
Starting point is 00:40:47 It's, I, you know, I'm not, I did not grow up Catholic. I'm not Catholic, but I know, I have a lot of friends who are. I don't know what, most of the friends I have that are Catholic are all critical of the Pope. Like I, they all seem like that. I think Catholics are. Yeah. I think Catholics, cafeteria Catholics, which I. used to be are are are are not they're kind of like well like this guy hope kind of says it
Starting point is 00:41:11 how does that like you know you grew up Catholic how does that hierarchy work like is it is is is is in I mean in theory like Pope Jesus well no I mean Jesus then I mean I was going up right Jesus then the Pope right the Pope basically has divine inspiration right to be saying these things so is it he set or the law that you're not supposed to be critical of him publicly yeah okay yeah I mean, you know, that was kind of the inquisition kind of thing. They kind of seared that into people, you know, way back. Yeah. You know.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Okay. So, uh, yeah. Yeah. So, uh, yeah, so, but you're saying it's very uncommon. It can't be completely uncommon for people to be critical. No, usually when you hit 70, 75, yeah, 75, the Pope invite you to retire. Okay. I invite Joe Biden to retire.
Starting point is 00:42:03 10 years ago. All of our candidates over 75. We have nobody left in Washington. We had that policy. But anyway, he invites you to retire. And usually they do. And if they don't, he, you know, under some circumstances, he'll remove them. But for this kind of stuff, really unusual.
Starting point is 00:42:22 Very unusual. So we got that going for us. By the way, by the way, do we have time? Cut six here. Joe Biden's campaign spokesperson was asked about the economy. Listen to this. The Labor Department numbers came out for the third quarter. Nearly 8.4 million people in this country are working at least two jobs.
Starting point is 00:42:45 That's the highest number since 2019. So when people are looking for that economic shift, they don't feel it. To that woman, you say what? Yeah, I'd say that that's precisely why we need another four years until you to finish the doctor. I think it's important, too, that the president of. course wants to get all of this done. We have to be honest about the brick wall of mega extremism that we continue to run into when we're trying to get things done for the American people. It's the MAGA extremists that you're putting in jail that are the ones hurting the economy.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Right, right. The Glenn Beck program. Let's talk about American made. There's a reason the term has carried a lot of weight with consumers. When you know something comes from America, really, truly made in America, every piece from the ground up. You know you're getting true quality. that's what you get when you buy American giant clothing. Every stitch of thread, every metal rivet, every drop of ink is made and assembled here. They're not just buying, you know, selling clothing. You're selling really the idea of investing in the process that saves our country in the end.

So please, when you're looking for clothing, something for Christmas, buy American today. Go to American-giant.com slash Glenn. They've got some of the best clothing. I love their pants.

Starting point is 00:46:05 Glenn Beck Program. We're excited to have you. Rob Snyder should be joining us this hour. I also want to talk to you
Starting point is 00:46:11 about a big rally that is happening tomorrow in Washington, in D.C. that I think is very, very important. We get into that in 60 seconds first. Little things can make a big difference. Imagine if somebody saved your life from a guaranteed death and you could do it yourself for $28. Your life is worth so much more than that, but how grateful would you be that somebody did that? You can be that change today. For an unborn person, you can be that. You can be
Starting point is 00:46:46 that person by giving to the ministry of preborn. They're saving lives every day by providing moms in crisis with free ultrasounds. That doubles the chance mom picks life. And that's not all. They also offer those moms maternity clothes and doctor's visits. They help that need for two years. All of this they do because of the generous people like you who believe in saving lives and give what you can. At $28 donation, that's a price of an ultrasound. Could make the difference. between life and death of a child today. And when you give any amount to pre-born, it's all tax deductible.
Starting point is 00:47:22 It goes directly to that work as well. So get involved today by dialing pound 250, saying the keyword baby. That's pound 250, keyword baby, or donate securely at preborn.com slash Beck. That's preborn.com slash Beck. Sponsored by Preborn. So there is a broad coalition
Starting point is 00:47:45 for American communities. It's gathering tomorrow, March for Israel, and it's happening at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It is to show the support for Israel and Jews. I wish I could be there. I could not rearrange my schedule, but I highly recommend that you go tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:48:10 I've checked this out six ways to Sunday. These organizations, I don't agree with on everything, but on this, I absolutely agree. March for Israel tomorrow at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. We have Rob on. Rob Schneider is with us now. He just turned 60. Hey, old man, how are you?
Starting point is 00:48:32 I don't know how that happened. Am I have to join that AARP? I know. I think you got to sell 65. I think. I don't know. I'm only 59, so. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Yeah. Wow. I'm not old like you yet. All right, junior. Okay. So, Rob, you wrote a great article about your journey into 60 and your advice at 60, but you also talk about you've become a practicing Catholic. Were you Christian your old life and just never practicing? Or what's your story?
Starting point is 00:49:11 Yeah, I was kind of going through life, slugging along, ignoring God. And pretending like there was, like, you know, I kind of like the atheist mistake of there's, and, you know, they're my friend's atheist, but they make the mistake of thinking like this whole universe is just this gigantic thing, expanding and bumping into stuff and that's meaningless and just, and that we are some accidental freak of intelligence that just happened and it'll all go away. And I just think that, you know, if, as my buddy, Norm McDonald said, You know, we're not a, we're, we're, we're, we're a small fraction of the universe. So if there is such a thing as compassion, love, and, uh, and empathy, then it must be endemic to this whole, whole thing that we exist in.
Starting point is 00:49:58 And, um, and, and I, I, I think, um, you know, the, that, that little voice of, uh, Jesus Christ was, was, uh, was never, was always coming back to me, even though I was going away from him. And then finally, I think during all of this kind of more obvious, I don't know, how else to say it, but more obvious evil in the world. Yeah. I think it kind of, it gave me, you know, I kind of got back to it that way, because if there is this really organized evil in the world, and I don't think it's at all more powerful,
Starting point is 00:50:35 but I do think it's here to challenge us as individually, as a family, as a community, and I think also, as you and I, you and I've come to really understand now, as a nation. Yeah. that I think we, you know, are you coming to God and realizing that, as his father, Ripperer said, and I don't have, the thing, some people are having a question about Christianity is in Jesus, whatever form it is. I just, for me, Catholicism works because it's the closest to the word, it's the closest to the actual word of Jesus through. That's, it works for me.
Starting point is 00:51:17 So, but, you know, I saw an article about this in, let me look, it was, I think it was Christianity today. No, Christianpost.com. And it, it talked about how you're, you know, you're, you're, you have failed in the past to show Christ's forgiveness to those who you disagree with. And it's really beautiful stuff that you've said about forgiving people, et cetera, et cetera. But then it goes into, yeah. but he's repeatedly weighed in on LGBTQ related issues on his ex account. He was talking about the female athlete getting spiked in the face by a male competing with the women. And he wrote, this has got to stop.
Starting point is 00:52:05 If parents, coaches, and women athletes all refuse to play against these men, it all stops. And then he was on the Glenn Beck program and he talked about gender mutilation. And so they're trying to say that, see, you really haven't changed because you're not forgiving of those things. Well, that's a difference between Christ doesn't want us to just stand down and accept evil and forgive evil and let it to perpetuate. Christ wants us to stand up against it. You don't want to just, you have to knock, you know, Christ knocked over the merchants that were no longer practicing at the temple. because he and showed a righteous anger. We have to protect the most vulnerable members of our society, our children.
Starting point is 00:52:55 Now, there is this weird justification that it seems to be okay for women now to suddenly, for the, quote, progress, they need to take a back seat to other men, and that's what these people are. They're men, they're not women, in any way, shape, or form. And there's this strange societal narcissism that is. is somehow accepted in some ways, is I think as an attack on women, which is an attack on God. And I think we need to stand up and protect them.
Starting point is 00:53:27 And it's just a, there is evil that can perpetuate, and you know it's wrong, and the people know it's wrong. And I'm glad that the female athletes, like Riley Gaines, are actually talking and stepping up. And my wife actually corrected me, because I said, why don't the student, why don't the student athletes in these volleyball teams step up and say something?
Starting point is 00:53:56 And she said they do, but people aren't listening to them because people don't listen to women. And I said, wow. I mean, I think she's right. I will tell you that there's a great misunderstanding on speaking the truth. That's all that Christ spoke was the truth. And sometimes people don't like it. Oh, well, it doesn't mean I stop. loving you because you're my brother or sister and I hope that you know some at some point
Starting point is 00:54:28 truth corrects you and you come on the side of truth but I don't hate you and I don't that's why I don't take it out I try not to take it out on you it's really hard it's really hard it is hard and it's supposed to be hard and it's supposed to be difficult but we have to, we have to try to, um, we have to trust that, that righteous instinct. And it's there to challenge us, but we cannot be silent and we cannot, uh, we cannot stand down when, you know, the, especially the most vulnerable members of our society are now under attack. And I, and I think it's, you know, the LBGGGQ community that were, it wasn't, that's not the whole community, but the community that is pushing this knowingly knows it's wrong because they went to a group of attorneys and they got
Starting point is 00:55:25 advice about how to do this. And they said, don't do it with any publicity as far as, you know, the gender issues and the gender, what they call protections. And it's interesting because they just rename protections for something that is the opposite of it, which is mutilation. Because you have like if these, and I just tell people who, who, because they use our goodwill against, us, which is inherently evil. But if these children thrive, own a gun, the army, or get even tattoos, making these permanent decisions about these things, but yet we're able to do these horrible, and they are horrible, lifelong repercussions.
Starting point is 00:56:19 And you see, you know, in Prager University, there's a wonderful film. I'll say wonderful, but there was a very knowledgeable and informing film. about the D-transitioners. And it's just let the child, you know, at least turn 18 before they decide to do something. I think 18 also, my child, my oldest one, my daughter, she wasn't an adult at 18 either. I mean, truthfully, the brain doesn't stop till 25.
Starting point is 00:56:49 Right. So, but I do think at least at a minimum, if you have any conscience at all, then that they should be, wait till they're 18 before they make a decision. And just don't jump on any new fads, especially a fad that has as the real evil of it is an attack on babies.
Starting point is 00:57:23 There's an attack on girls. There's an attack on women. This whole thing is a culture of death. I mean, you look at what's happening with the Palestinian rallies, where they're openly chanting, you know, death to Jews and send them to Germany and all of these horrible, horrible things. Every bit of this evil.
Starting point is 00:57:45 It's coming at us, yeah. Yeah. Is culture of. death. It is a cultural, it is a culture of death. It's a culture. It's just, I think there's, there's different ways to get at this and like, you know, my coming to Christ was also in a logical sense of, I do think, um, you have the atheist now who have, it's like the opposite of the Snopes trial. The Snopes trial, which, which cornered in, the Snop's trial, which was about Christianity and, uh,
Starting point is 00:58:17 evolution. And the idea that Christianity was trying to close in and limit the idea of God's plan, which could have been evolutionary in part for sure, was basically putting a fanatic spin on Christianity and faith. What you have now is the opposite of the Snopes trial. You have a fanaticism. coming from the atheists, coming from godless people, and that are not wanting to see the potentiality of God and the potentiality of what they're doing could be wrong. And just the real exposing this is seeing the LBGTQ community who are supporting Hamas and Palestinians.
Starting point is 00:59:11 And it's like somebody's got a whisper in their ear, hey, they would kill you in a minute. It was stowing you to death. these are not people, these are murders. You have to call them what they are. And what it really, the sad thing about the pro-Palestinian things you see on campus and you see, it's like, you know, when they say do not forget, never forget the Holocaust. It's because it is something that can be forgotten and it is being forgotten.
Starting point is 00:59:40 Because it's the very few remaining Holocaust survivors who are, children now, very young children. Now, you make you realize a terrible thing, Glenn, which is that the idea that the Holocaust could have been, you know, well, that's an end to this horrible anti-Semitism. You realize that it isn't, that it's just, there's going to be a continual, it was an apex anti-Semitism, that there is not, that there is going to be a continuation of pogroms and an attack on these people. And on our, on our, on these people because it is a
Starting point is 01:00:21 continuation of anti-Semitism. It is certainly not anyone near the end of it. And for people who war is hell and war is hell and the idea that somehow there's a clean war or there's a way to do it,
Starting point is 01:00:38 I mean, the death of children in any situation is abhorrent and horrible. And do you try to prevent it the best you can? But if, I remember thinking of Robert McNamara, who was working with the Air Force during World War II. They were talking about the fire bombing of Japanese cities, which was, you know,
Starting point is 01:01:01 horrific. Horrific. Absolutely horrific. Dresden was absolutely horrific. Maybe more people died in Dresden than Nagasaki and Hiroshima combined, the bombing of Dresden in World War II towards the end of, the, but to bring Germany to his knees to end that war was a, was a greater good. And it's all horrible. But the idea that Hamas is going to be allowed to survive in any form.
Starting point is 01:01:29 Now, for our questioning of it is, what is going to replace it? You know, that's, that's the question. But you have to, we can't sit back and allow your people to be slaughtered. No. Your babies, you can't. And so we have to stand with Israel, and we have to know that this is something that it's not going to be easy. And it's going to be going to require prayer. It's going to require God's help.
Starting point is 01:01:56 It's going to require our help. But we have to be there for that and not give in to this Hamas publicity campaign, which they're very good at. We're talking to Rob Schneider. He's an actor, comedian, writer, and he's just written a piece for The Blaze.com. the gift of turning 60 where he talks about this and so much more. And you can find that on the front page of the blaze. Rob, great talking to you. Thank you so much.

Starting point is 01:03:57 All right, you sick freak. Welcome to the program. There's something I want you to remember that we are doing next, this coming Thursday, and it is the covenant. We all have to remember who we are and where we are, what time it is. and this is something that George Washington did and also something Abraham Lincoln did our pilgrims did
Starting point is 01:04:27 and it is good for Thanksgiving to be reminded who we are when you talk about the covenant for people who don't know what do you mean by that like is it just a special promise a covenant is more than a special promise
Starting point is 01:04:44 it is a contract Pinky swear more or less than a pinky swear it's a a irrevocable contract between you and God. And so you don't want to take it lightly. And so we have been putting up a couple of things. We had a 40-day program.
Starting point is 01:05:05 You can still get it and just go through it. 40-day, 40-night program to, so you can understand biblical covenants all through the past. We are in the last five days of the 15 days to understand. And I highly recommend that you take that. If you want to understand the covenant, take the 40. It's really important. Also important to get you geared in, especially these last five days. There is the 15-day program, and it gears you into understanding what you have to do to take the covenant.
Starting point is 01:05:42 But it is a solemn promise to God. You know, he says he'll heal our land if we turn back to him. So this is a turning back to him and a covenant. I know who I serve. I serve you. And we're taking a covenant that is very similar to the one that Abraham Lincoln and George Washington made with God. That's happening on Thursday's broadcast. You don't want to miss tell everybody you know who wants to turn back to God and make a covenant with him.
Starting point is 01:06:16 let's turn to him and have him heal our land. Cybercriminals just steal everything these days. They do. Sometimes they'll actually even sell your genusel order. Really?

Why does everybody hate the Jews? Scientists have actually looked at this, experts and historians. This is really good question. Yeah. Why does everybody seem to hate the Jews? One, first,
Starting point is 01:08:26 they came up with five reasons. One, Jews are hated because they're an inferior race. Except Jewishness is not a race. Any person, any creed or color can convert to Judaism. Okay. I convert to be a Jew, they would kill me just as fast. Okay. Next one. Economic. Jews are hated because they possess too much wealth and power. Well, okay, there are some well-off Jews, but there are millions of poor and downtroddened Jews as well. So Jews are people too. Isn't it kind of weird like that? Jews are hated because they're different from everyone else. As answer number three, they're outsiders. Well, Jewish communities often tried to assimilate. In the 18th century in Europe, they tried desperately to assimilate. How'd that work out for them? Scapegoat. Answer number four,
Starting point is 01:09:19 the Jews are hated because they're the cause for all the world's problems. They've been hated because they're an easy target. Okay. Deaside. The Jews are hated because they killed Jesus Christ. I just like to point out I'm pretty sure that were those were the Romans that killed Jesus. They were the ones. So I asked the question again.
Starting point is 01:09:44 Why do people hate the Jews? And why is America second in line? Notice that? We're the great Satan. Why? I think there's really one reason.
Starting point is 01:10:00 The Jewish people know, who they are. They're the children of Israel. They are from the promised land. They are God's chosen people. Who says they're chosen people? That's not. That's not right. Everybody's searching for answers, searching for the truth. Choose have something unique. They have an eternal identity that has been spoken. And it's an identity that is built on traditions, law, promise, faith in God, a covenant, a rock of a covenant. And the Jewish people work hard at studying and teaching that covenant.
Starting point is 01:10:44 They've handed down the traditions and blessings from one generation to another for thousands of years. They are very clear who they are. Now, just that alone, holding on to who you are, passing on customs and, and traditions and conventions, that makes you a little peculiar in today's world. We're not doing it. They are. And their covenant gives them a relationship with God and with one another. It binds them.
Starting point is 01:11:20 It lifts them up. You know, the attitude in Israel is extraordinarily positive right now? I have heard that people have told me in Israel that everybody's very optimistic. They're all like, we're going to win this and we're going to solve this problem. And they're not cowering in fear. Where do they get that? The covenant of God gives them confidence that they're going to be blessed if they do what they're supposed to do. In a world where the foundations of truth and reality are being destroyed and being distorted,
Starting point is 01:11:55 that kind of confidence lends itself to envy. And as Yoda warned us, envy leads to jealousy. Jealousy leads to hate. Hate leads to anger and anger leads to the dark side. Or something like that. Like suffering or... Shut up. I'll tell you what Yoda said.
Starting point is 01:12:20 We are suffering today, are we not? And it's because we're not grateful. It's because we forgot who we are. Jealousy. It leads to riots, abuse, and kidnappings. It's led us to war, and over and over again it has led to mass genocide. You see, I think why the Jews are so hated is it's Satan's way of winning against God. This is the scriptures according to Glenn, so take it for what it's worth.
Starting point is 01:13:00 God made the covenant. God did. I'll be your God. You will be my people. You will grow in size. All Satan has to do to be. beat God is to kill God's chosen people. That forces, if I kill all of his people, then he's no longer God because he said he would
Starting point is 01:13:25 protect them. And if we're looking for a way out of our situation, the surest way is to follow the example of the Jew. Remember who you are. Remember two that we're number two. We're the great Satan. We're next. And that's because we too are a covenant people.
Starting point is 01:13:49 You notice it's not Great Britain that they're saying is a great Satan. It's us. It's us. Because we, when the pilgrims set foot in America, they step forward not only on the rock at Plymouth, but on the rock of the covenant. Comparisons are made all the time between the Jews and the pilgrims. And the pilgrims were also reviled. They were persecuted. They were led to a land of pride.
Starting point is 01:14:13 And like the Jews, the pilgrims built on traditions, laws, and faith in God. The pilgrims worked hard. They didn't blame others. They studied. They sought and taught the covenant. They handed down promises and blessings from one generation to the next. They forged a nation built on a relationship with God. But when we get to next week and we're celebrating Thanksgiving, how many of us are thinking about any of those things, any of them.
Starting point is 01:14:43 We've abandoned our promises. We've cast aside our blessings. We've given up on our relationship with God. But let Thursday change this because we can pick up the mantle of our national covenant again. And the pilgrims made their covenant with us. I tell you, with us, not some generic us, but us, the people living today in mind. they're nearing the first Thanksgiving. They had so many trials.
Starting point is 01:15:18 Only half of their company is left. Half died on the way over. Then the half of the other half died in the first winter. William Brewster is one of the survivors. And he said, for some divine purpose, we yet remain. It is our master's will that we stand or fall here. And in our harvest trials, has not the divine presence been with us? wherefore let us stand.
Starting point is 01:15:44 We believe this movement to be from him. If he prosper us, we shall be the means of planting here a Christian colony and of ending hence its precious blessing. Blessed, blessed it will be for us. Blessed for this land for this vast continent. Generations to come shall look back to this hour and find these scenes of agonizing trial to this day of small. to this day of small things and say, here was our beginning as a people. These were our fathers.
Starting point is 01:16:19 Through their trials, we inherit our blessings. Their faith is our faith. Their hope is our hope. Their God is our God. That's what the covenant is about. You have inherited the blessings and the responsibilities that have come with this covenant. You didn't make it. but our pilgrims, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln renewed it.
Starting point is 01:16:45 We've made this. This is what God means when he says, if that nation will turn back and turn their face back to me, I will heal their land. It's your turn to step up and answer the call. The nation is waiting. The world is waiting. God is waiting Thursday on this broadcast.

Starting point is 01:20:56 here. FBI officials have singled out agents who were former military for anti-Trump retaliations, according to whistleblowers now at the FBI, that they are targeting former Marines and former military.
Starting point is 01:21:15 Also, the IRS now has launched an audit into a conservative organization that helped tank nominees for the key administration posts, something that that can be done. That's why the Tides Foundation, that's why all of these other groups all exist to politically work magic, if you will, against their opponents' ideas and figures. Then you have feds possibly targeting Eric Adams because he criticized Joe Biden. All right.
Starting point is 01:21:52 Now let me go someplace that is, I think, truly shocking. And that is from the Democrat from Maryland, Jamie Raskin. He predicted that a second presidential term for former president Donald Trump would look a lot like Russian president Vladimir Putin's leadership in Russia. Now, how would you describe that? suboptimal? He said, this comes from Trump. He was asked the question last week.
Starting point is 01:22:29 Biden administration has weaponized the Justice Department and the FBI. He said he certainly could do the same should he become president again. The role of the government in his view, according to Raskin, is to advance his political fortunes and destroy his political enemies. Hmm. Now, what would be the goal of this administration? administration, advance his political fortunes and his fortune fortunes, and destroy his political enemies. Isn't that so? Seems to be the main thing he's trying to accomplish.
Starting point is 01:23:03 He said it would look like Victor Orban in Hungary or a democracy without rights or liberties or respect for the due process, the system, a rule or law. he said Trump and his allies their plan is to reject any elections that they lose I mean I can't take it I can't take it
Starting point is 01:23:29 the Democrats have been doing that forever I know they always reject everyone I know I mean and let's not put it past Donald Trump he's also rejected the ones he's won remember he said millions of illegal immigrants voted and that's why it was so close against Hillary Clinton so the bottom line is no one on either
Starting point is 01:23:46 side thinks any election is actually legitimate. And that is a scary space to be in. It is a truly frightening space. How does this end well? You know, we're out of time, Glenn. And I'm sorry we couldn't get to that today, but I don't know. I have no idea how it ends well. I mean, look, the way it ends well is what you were talking about earlier in this program, right, which is talking about you're relying on God and eternal forces. to do things that seem impossible. Yes. That is how this ends well.
Starting point is 01:24:25 Outside of that, I don't know what the path is. I mean, you have to do every little step, right? You have to go out and vote. You have to make sure you're doing the right things. Do the next right thing, as you always say. But at the end of the day, you really can't control it. You really can't. It's let go of the outcome and just do the next right thing.
Starting point is 01:24:46 And the reason why they're so desperate is, is because it's all coming down. It's all coming down around them. You know, America is on to them. Did you hear about the immigrants that ended up in Chicago? They came across the border illegally from Venezuela. They were put into shelters in Chicago. And they said,
Starting point is 01:25:13 if we're going to live like this, we'd rather go back to Venezuela. And so they're self-deport. Chicago is so bad that Venezuela is hopeful. We should send everyone who comes across the border directly to Chicago. And let them experience the best America has to offer, at least from the left, the best America's liberalism can offer you. And then they'll go back to the socialist paradise of Venezuela. You know, I was just in Chicago, what, two weeks ago, weekend, last weekend. And it's such a great city.
Starting point is 01:25:48 It is. It is such a great city. Yeah. And none of that is around anymore. I was there a couple summers ago and went to some Cubs games while we were there. And, you know, we did a bunch of stuff. And it was really fun. It was like a really nice city.
Starting point is 01:26:00 It didn't see any real problems. And I'm like, maybe this is the one weekend where people didn't constantly murder each other here. And then I got back and no, they had been murdering them the whole time. I just luckily wasn't in the same place. Right, right. Well, this is the weekend, is it this weekend or next weekend that is the weekend to get to San Francisco? President Z. How freaky is this?
Starting point is 01:26:22 The president of China, President Z is coming. And so Gavin Newsom and all of San Francisco got all the homeless off the streets, clean the streets so President Z can see it. That's what they do with dictators. Incredible. It's absolutely incredible. The Glenn Beck program. Okay, let me tell you about pre-born.
Starting point is 01:26:50 Abortion's a tragic part of our lives as Americans. Even after the overturning of Roe versus Wade, it continues to rob children of the right to live. And what's more devastating is the majority of women who get abortions, say later they would have chosen life if they just felt like they had support. That's where pre-born comes in to fill the gap. women are being told their babies are just clumps of cells. Preborn blows that away with free ultrasounds and postnatal care.
Starting point is 01:27:21 Once they've introduced mom to her unborn child, she's twice as likely to choose life for that child. But then they also need more help. They need help after the child is born. When you support preborn, you not only support women, you empower them. And your donation of $28 will help a woman make the choice that she won't have to regret the rest of her life. and then gives her the ultimate blessing, life, and people around her who love her and will help her

Starting point is 01:29:48 and I just want you to be triggered. I don't want you to be triggered. Actually, my truth is the truth. I'm going to share the truth, and that's your truth and my truth, except it's not. It's just the ones that we have to bow down to, you know, the truth. Oh, yeah, I recognize that. It's weird.

So just be safe out there. We continue in just a second with the ever-loving truth. First, let me tell you about Goldline. The M2 Money Supply is shrinking, which is a really rare event, not really seen since the Great Depression era. Amidst all the fluctuations, Wall Street is caught in the turbulence of unpredictability. Investors are taking note. History reveals
Starting point is 01:30:47 a cautionary tale. Each significant contraction in the past 150 years was followed by a depression and double-digit unemployment rates. But this time it's different. I know, and that's your truth. This means the traditional economic safety nets are starting to fray, the Dow Jones, S&P 500, NASDAQ, all feeling the tremors. The historic decline of 3.17% year over year, may be an ominous sign. Are your stocks? Are they about to take a nose dive? How about the dollar?
Starting point is 01:31:26 Did you see Moody's just downgraded us? Again. Wisdom calls for diversifying and stability. Just spread it out.

Great, man. It's good to talk to you again. Thank you. Are you in Africa still? Yeah, I'm in Zambia right now, yeah. How are things in Zambia? I don't get to say that very often. Things are going okay. It's hot. Yeah. Things are going okay. Yeah. So, Vody, I wanted to get you on because we're doing renewal of the, covenant the pilgrims George Washington
Starting point is 01:32:53 Abraham Lincoln made in our history and it all really revolves around the truth and we have a problem with truth right now and I know you have a book out and you talk about a pastor that you were talking
Starting point is 01:33:13 talking to and he said let me tell you about my Bible study that I had a few weeks ago and he was teaching 1 Corinthians chapter 5 can you tell that story do you remember that story no no
Starting point is 01:33:31 you got it you got to help me okay so he said he was sitting sitting down in a group full of people and he was watching the young people because he got to the part of the text where it involved an affair and
Starting point is 01:33:49 that he knew that you know there was going to be problems and he said it wasn't the problem of the illicit affair that intrigued the younger set but the idea that paul would have yeah paul would have the audacity the idea of the response right that you should be removed from the church yeah yeah yeah when you start asking me about the stories in the i'm sorry yeah you can throw me a little bit i know i'm sorry um yeah that that that was the idea that the people were offended by the absolute truth claim more offended by the absolute truth claim than they were by the sin itself it's as though in and this a the greatest
Starting point is 01:34:34 sin that you can commit is not what God calls sin but actually calling out what God calls sin and you know the the reason that I sort of hesitated with that story is because you know this is and updated and re-released version of a book, my first book that I actually wrote in 2004. And that's one of the stories from the original, you know, book back in 2004. And the reason that we redid this,
Starting point is 01:35:04 the reason that we did an update and revision was because those things I was talking about back then are not only still with us, but they've actually grown and mutated. Oh, yeah. And so today, you know, it wouldn't be, you know, at a fair. Today, it would be something about, you know, trans and actually saying that, you know,
Starting point is 01:35:29 trans women are not real women. But the fact of the matter is that this new version of tolerance has elevated, you know, everybody's personal desire above the word of God. How do you, how do you describe this new tolerance? Because tolerance used to mean that, you know, you just, just put up with somebody who's saying things you don't necessarily agree with or don't like, and you're just like, you know, just let it pass. But now you can't do that.
Starting point is 01:36:00 Right. No, no, no. The new tolerance, you know, it's, it's, there's three pieces. There's relativism, pluralism, and tolerance. And, you know, I put these together, um, and talk about how they, they form this foundation. There are relativism, the idea that, you know, truth is relative. There's no absolute truth. Pluralism.
Starting point is 01:36:19 all ideas are equal and of equal value. Tolerance is that you must celebrate the ideas of others and consider them of equal value to your own. So it's not disagreeing agreeably. It's not disagreeing at all. But there's a caveat. And the caveat is there are truths with which you can disagree. and they are truths found in the scripture.
Starting point is 01:36:53 You don't have to tolerate truths that are found in the scripture. You have to tolerate all people, but you don't have to tolerate, you know, white, male, heterosexual, cisgendered, able-bodied, native-born, right? So, again, this new tolerance is selective and intolerant. You know, there's a, I've noticed a really disturbing trend, as we all least God-fearing people
Starting point is 01:37:20 have started to go, you know, maybe we better turn back to God. Maybe I haven't done what I was supposed to do. Maybe I haven't. You know, I'm not the best representative of my faith. And more and more people are starting to turn there. And some people are taking,
Starting point is 01:37:42 I've talked to several people in America who believe that our constitution, it's old outdated on our side. It's old outdated. And it needs to be replaced with more of a religious state, which to me is terrifying and not the path that we're supposed to go down by far. And I think it speaks to God's Providence and the genius of the individuals, you know,
Starting point is 01:38:24 who put it together. But, you know, that doesn't mean that it can't be eroded and it is being eroded. And I don't think the answer to the erosion is to somehow do what other countries do all the time, which is abandon it, you know, and try to do something new and try to do something different. Because the fact of the matter is, you know, our worldview and foundation is so skewed that would whatever we came up with, I'd be afraid of. Yeah, so did I.
Starting point is 01:39:02 The idea, though, that we have people from all different faiths, but we are a Judeo-Christian nation. That's what we were founded on. So how? You know, go ahead. That's why. That's why we can have people of so many different faiths, because our biblical morality is such that we do not force our faith.
Starting point is 01:39:28 on others. It is our biblical morality that laid the foundation for people to come and be free. It's our biblical morality that created the environment. And ironically, people are now trying to throw away that biblical morality, and the end result will be tyranny, not tolerance. The average, the role of the average Christian in, I mean, we've, I think tolerance has been used, against us because we've wanted to be kind, et cetera, et cetera, and we stop speaking the truth. And that's so misunderstood in today's world. What role should a Christian play in today's society? What should we be doing?
Starting point is 01:40:19 Yeah. And, you know, I talk about this in the book, too. And at the end of the day, we're truth tellers. At the end of the day, we stand on the truth. of the gospel. At the end of the day, we love people enough to tell them the truth. We believe that all men are sinners and that there is only one answer to man's sin problem. And when we present Christ and his person and work as the answer to man's sin problem, that is not us saying, I'm superior to you. That's us saying, I'm just one beggar, telling another beggar where
Starting point is 01:40:52 I found bread. Tell me your help, help on this. There are so many people, I was just talking to Rob Schneider, the actor and comedian, and he just converted, and he's now a Christian where he was kind of nothing. And he said it's because evil is becoming so apparent now. I figured I should pick aside. But for some reason, evil is not apparent to so many. For instance, I feel bad for the innocent people in Gaza that might be killed. killed as collateral damage in a war, just like I felt bad for Germans that were killed in the war as collateral damage.
Starting point is 01:41:42 But you're seeing people now on the streets call for the death of Jews, quoting Hitler. And still, so many people all around the world are not waking up to think this sounds evil. how do you how do you get people to wake up if they will stare evil in its face and do nothing and that's the great irony
Starting point is 01:42:12 you know it people do see evil but you know as Isaiah warns they actually call good evil and evil good and ultimately this is a worldview issue you keep hearing this same
Starting point is 01:42:29 and we've talked about this before when I was there with you in person, the same neo-Marxist worldview that divides the world into oppressors and the oppressed. And when you look at conflicts, you look at conflicts through that lens of who qualifies as the oppressor here, not by their actions, right, but by your classifications, and who qualifies as the oppressed. And people are making decisions based on that. solely based on that.
Starting point is 01:43:03 And that stops them from seeing evil, things that they grew up knowing. I mean, there's not a person, except for Nazis, there's not a person in America that didn't grow up being taught. You know, the Holocaust was a horror show. Yeah, yeah. And that's part of the great, you know, irony and all this. But there's less of that being taught.
Starting point is 01:43:32 then there is this oppressor-oppressed binary, which is interesting because we don't want binaries with male and female, but we want binaries with oppressor-oppressed, right? But there's so much of that being taught, and it overwhelms anything else that's being taught in terms of history. And also, what's being taught is that there's certain ideologies that, that are evil because these ideologies are used to oppress people. And also this whole idea of anti-colonialism, right? And so if you can classify someone as a colonizer, right?
Starting point is 01:44:17 I mean, that's like the worst thing in the world that anyone could do or be, and anything that happens to them they deserve. We're talking to Vody Bachman. We'll be back in just a second. Give me 60 seconds. Miracles can happen. In fact, they happen every single day, and sometimes they happen in ways that seem normal, but aren't. Consider this.
Starting point is 01:44:38 Because of people like you every single day, the Ministry of Preborn is helping to rescue 200 babies from being aborted. Now, you can't tell me that's not a miracle. Preborn offers free ultrasounds, expecting moms meet their unborn child. When they hear his or her little heart beating, it changes everything. But that's not all. They care about the mom, too, because those. 60% of those who had an abortion said I wouldn't have chosen that if I thought that I had support. So they offer those mothers the help they need when choosing life for a full two years.
Starting point is 01:45:13 A $28 donation, the price of an ultrasound, could make the difference between life and death of a child. So don't wait. Act today. If you have the means, it would be great if you would consider a gift to save babies in a big way. Your tax deductible donation of $5,000 will sponsor Preborn's entire net. network for 24 hours, helping to rescue 200 babies. To donate, dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby.

And I don't know being in Zambia, if you've heard us talk about it at all.
Starting point is 01:46:18 But the idea that we make a covenant with God and turn our face back to him to heal our land, do you have any thoughts on this on the importance that we play in being a covenant people? You know, a lot of people never experienced things even before. And one of the things I do is I read George Washington's Thanksgiving proclamation. Oh, wow. And people are astonished. They're floored. They just, they can't believe that, you know, that that was said and that it's still allowed to stand.
Starting point is 01:47:09 And, you know, they can't believe that kind of language was ever the language of, you know, a national leader. Yeah, in America. And so, yeah, I think we've lost a great deal in that regard. We've lost a great deal. We've lost our relationship. And we're on the ropes. And I have been thinking, you know, for 25 years, seeing this coming, what can we do to stop it? And I think we're at the place where it's miracle time.
Starting point is 01:47:45 It's miracle time. Miracles have to happen. We have to. stand up, but stand up peacefully. And, you know, they're priming people to be violent. And we just can't go that way. It's going to take a miracle, but that's what we have to do. There just has to be a revival.
Starting point is 01:48:12 Unfortunately, just saying that is offensive in this day and age, because that's the last thing that people want to put their hope in.

Starting point is 01:51:45 Overseas, it's called Armist's Day, which sounds kind of quaint and old fashion. We call it Veterans Day here in America. And this year, on Veterans Day, a gigantic pro-Hamas protest took place in London, of all places. And it was mostly peaceful, of course. But make no mistake, it was neither pro-peace nor anti-war. Even if you ignore the chance, you know, of,
Starting point is 01:52:12 from the river to the sea, you know, and taking them at their word, forcing Israel into a ceasefire right now, is not the way to peace. I really want to, I really, I think that on Veterans Day weekend, we should get this. If the war would stop now without destroying Hamas, Hamas against, once again, learns it can slaughter Jews, then run back home and hide behind its own civilians and the world will protect it. I'm home, I'm home. Time out, time out. And instead of rebuilding, it will rearm and do it again and again and again and again and encourage others to do exactly the same. In fact, a Moss spokesperson told the New York Times, he hoped the quote,
Starting point is 01:53:03 the state of war with Israel will become permanent on all of their borders. So accepting or pushing for a ceasefire, leaving Hamas in place only leads to more war and more death. Now, contrary to what the romantics past or present would have us believe, war is the sad truth, not the exception in human history. Lawrence Keely wrote a book in 1996 called War Before Civilization. and he makes the case through a survey of archaeology and tribal warfare that war was practically a constant in all tribal societies. Violent death was a shockingly high probability. Rousseau's noble savage was only ever a myth and a dangerous one as anybody who tried to cross the plains back in the 1800s found out. peace far from the rule was the exception.
Starting point is 01:54:08 A fact, according to Keely, pacifist tribes were generally either geographically insulated from the need for fighting or they were actually defeated tribes, tribes that had been hurt so bad that they had lost their taste for war. That's something you need to realize. Defeated tribes. Do they have any parallels in modern history? Let's look at Germany and Japan, shall we?
Starting point is 01:54:41 There was the first conflict these nations, and they lost. Always before the nations had rebuilt an even stronger military when they lost. World War II was the first whose cost was so high that this time they rebut, they rebuilt, admittedly, with a lot of help from America, into pacifist nations. They had been so, for the most part, they've been, you know, passive since. Now, China and North Korea are making threatening noises, and Japan is starting to reconsider the need for a warfighting capability. It's accepted wisdom now that Germany after World War I was,
Starting point is 01:55:31 humiliated and this led to the rise of the Nazis. Certainly, Germany was humiliated repeatedly under the peace imposed by the Treaty of Versailles. This also allowed anti-Semitism and conspiracy theories to fester, under which Germans came to believe their army was about to win World War I, only to be stabbed in the back, betrayed from within. by Jews into a dishonorable surrender. What made this possible? Germany was not invaded in World War I. It was not occupied. It wasn't dismantled.
Starting point is 01:56:17 Its army was not destroyed on the battlefield. Rather, it was allowed to surrender with what were still then customary military honors. Germany stopped fighting before being destroyed convincingly in its, its own eyes, it walked off the battlefield feeling humiliated by the allies. Now, if that humiliation didn't occur, maybe Germany wouldn't have rebuilt its military and launched World War II, but the history of nations, including Europe, suggests that it might also have done that anyway, maybe more slowly, repeating wars of empire, because that's what happens over and over again. if Germany had been more thoroughly and clearly defeated, paid a higher price pre-Armissus for World War I, had its army destroyed, its territory invaded, and then rebuilt with allied help, then perhaps the Weimar Republic could have held.
Starting point is 01:57:25 Germany could have become a pacifist country for the next 80 years and counting. We won't know. but we shouldn't forget that pacifist democratic Europe as we know it is largely a product of post-World War II blood. It feels like the world is constantly going up in flames. But the truth is when you look at history, we actually live in a golden age of peace. War is at an all-time low, as is the likelihood of dying a violent war. horrible death. And all of this, with the horrors of modern warfare, included,
Starting point is 01:58:13 see, most of us just grew up under Pax Americana. So we can afford the pacivism that we hold so dear. But our time is the exception, not the rule in human history. And none of us should take that lightly. And we do. We take our success, our success. security, our access to food, our access to what we now say are basic needs. We take them for granted all the time, let alone peace.
Starting point is 01:58:50 We've been in far too many wars because we played America's policemen and we need to be out of that business. But we also should remember if the world wants durable peace, there's no substitute for clear victory. Reagan said it. Peace through strength. I think what brought the Middle East to the table was Donald Trump's twitchy eye. He's like, this guy might do it, man. He might. That's peace through strength. The point of being strong is not so you can burn the world down
Starting point is 01:59:28 every time you get bored. The point is to be so strong that no one will start a fight out of the cold certainty that will end in your utter defeat and possible death, not only to deny the enemy victory, but any hope of victory. That's why you fight with everything you have. No hope for victory. The alternative is not, you know, hippie, pacifism, flowers in the barrel. It's to allow all those who seek war in death to dictate the agenda. And that's what we're close to doing. The world is, is close to saying this. John Stuart Mill, he was a British philosopher.
Starting point is 02:00:17 He saw the American Civil War coming. He thought it would be worth the cost, or at least not the worst alternative. 1848, ahead of the American Civil War, he wrote, War in a good cause is not the greatest evil, which a nation can suffer. War is an ugly thing, but it's not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling, which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. We attacked yet again in Syria. Iran has named us the great Satan, and they said last week that we are, that death to America is not an empty chant.
Starting point is 02:01:10 It is policy. I hope to God we're not dragged into anything. But I will tell you, the best chance we have of not being dragged into anything is to let Israel do what Israel is doing. Let them take away any hope of any kind of military victory. That will do more to keep the peace. That's the things that are. veterans have done in the past. And because I wasn't here last week, we should thank a veteran.
Starting point is 02:02:03 Happy Veterans Day. How often are you getting to the gun range to practice shooting? Are you doing it once a week, once a month? If you're like me, you really enjoy target practice, but I'm not going because it's way too expensive for the ammunition. I just don't want to just, I just don't want to waste all that ammunition. And it's not a waste, but it's just a ton of cash. And can you get it again? I mean, I just don't want to burn through all of it. I need it.

Starting point is 02:03:22 The Glenn Beck Program. Bien to aboard of Viarai. Embarked and profite. Embarked and relax. Cirotay. Bookine. Oh, that also. And profite.
Starting point is 02:03:39 Villaray, the voice that we love that we're welcome. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're just, uh, stunned by the pro-Palestinian rallies. I mean, I get it, except I don't get that people are embracing it with what they're saying. Listen to this. This is a protest leader in D.C. this weekend.
Starting point is 02:04:46 Okay, so that's going on in Washington, D.C. It's a good argument for a two-state solution. That's all it was. It really is. And this one is, too. This is a anti-Israel protester. Palestinian, listen to this. If the Westfield's so sorry for the Israeli-Zainists, why don't they give a place in Germany?
Starting point is 02:05:04 Why don't you go to Hitler's backyard and make an occupation there? Then they will know what kind of people these are. Why, every so many 100 years, the Zionists get slaughtered? Because Hitler knew how to deal with these people. They probably made a program so they can create a state of Israel. in the expense of Palestinian Muslims blood. Wow. And as bad as that is, by the way,
Starting point is 02:05:33 we should note that there's people standing right next to him, not even like looking shocked. No, no argument. They don't try to move away to get out of the camera shot. Nope. And by the way, for all those who are suffering in the hospitals, here is a video of a mom who apparently saw her injured son in the hospital in Gaza.
Starting point is 02:05:52 So she ran to be with him. in the video you'll see him assure that it's all a fake mom and he unwraps his bloody head gauze it uh gosh there he is there's mom
Starting point is 02:06:06 look see that's incredible and that's in the hospital looks like the you know emergency room of the hospital yeah but don't but let's take the Hamas
Starting point is 02:06:23 health, Gaza health ministry's word for each and every injury. That is a war crime. That is a war crime. No, to hide under a hospital. It's a war crime. Yeah, it's fascinating because they throw this out all the time that every attack on
Starting point is 02:06:41 Gaza is a war crime. I've read a fascinating piece from a lawyer who was talking about what international law actually is because I mean, I would look at this and say, okay, well, you need to do what you need to do to protect your people and and you know you have a basic calculus on how that works right you don't want to kill tons of innocent people obviously to go after a military target but if you have to go after a military target you have to
Starting point is 02:07:00 make those judgments right apparently it's a lot more complicated than that when it comes to international law shockingly it's not just like oh on a whim let's I don't know this one seems wait a are you telling me attorneys might be involved in war there are layers and layers of this of how to figure out whether each individual attack is worthy of the standard of international law. And the attack, it has nothing to do with, oh, well, you know, Gaza says 10,000 have been killed and only 1,400 were killed on October 7th. It's got nothing to do with that. That's not what proportionate means. What does proportionate it mean? I mean, you know, I think the layman's term would be like, well, if you rape and decapitate a bunch of our people,
Starting point is 02:07:41 I guess we do the same to you. That's eye for an eye. That's obviously not that. But people would say, okay, well, maybe the numbers need to be similar. No, that's not the standard at all. What is the standard? The standard is basically each, the degree, any degree of damage up to an including death, that civilians have not be excessive in relation to the military advantage anticipated from a strike against a military target. So, so basically each individual bombing is guided by this principle of we have to justify,
Starting point is 02:08:14 not just internally, but with outside lawyers. And sometimes the Israeli Supreme Court, by the way. That you have to look at this and say, okay, we know these lawyers, we believe these, you know, Hamas representatives are there. And we have to say how much, how does that, how do we justify that killing potential civilians that are there as well in collateral damage? And if there's tons and tons and tons of them, even with a high level Hamas leader, they might not take that particular opportunity. So the average is how many deaths? Globally, according to this, the average is nine civilians for every one military member. How much is it with Israel?
Starting point is 02:08:52 We don't know right now, because obviously they're in the middle of this, but the most recent attack from Israel prior to October 7th was 0.6 to 1. So normal is 9 to 1. Israel is doing it at 0.6 to 1, but they're committing genocide. Wow. The Glenn Beck Program.
