I said just the other day, don't send your kids to college. What are you doing? What are you doing? What did you learn in college? Most likely you found yourself. You found partying. You learned some stuff. But you got a degree.

And that worked for the first time. It really does it matter, really? For most jobs, you want to learn something and have a profound change on you. You need to learn how to learn. And then you need to know that you're not being. indoctrinated. Since 1844, Hillsdale has been providing an education in faith, freedom, and character because they believe a virtuous citizen is the best defense for liberty. They provide more than 40 free, not for credit courses, that are self-paced so you can start

whenever you want. This is everything you need to change the way you understand our country, our world, and your place in it. I personally wholeheartedly recommend checking out Constitution 101, the meaning and the history of the U.S. Constitution. Go right now to Hillsdale.edu slash Glenn. That's Hillsdale.edu slash Glenn. No cost, easy to get started, Hillsdale.edu.edu slash Glenn. I have to tell you I love Elon Musk. Okay. This hour, oh, we're going to play some audio and we're going to discuss Elon Musk. But I want to start on Biden's economic policies, you know, Bidenomics. According to the Guardian, Bidenomics is already delivering for the American people. And Fortune magazine says, Bidenomics is working too well

and is souring the Democrats' bourgeoisie base. Really? Is that what's happening? We're going to go into that in 60 seconds. For unto us, a child is born. Unto us a son is given. And to us a son is given. Those are powerful, powerful words, some of the most powerful ever spoken, and they were spoken at a time and a place where babies were being murdered left and right. And they are words of blessing, words of love. And they remind us that every life on earth, including the unborn, is so special that God sent his only son to become a little baby. Unto us, a child is born. For 28 bucks, you can help a mom choose life because that's what an ultrasound. cost. Once she sees and hears the heartbeat of that child, she's twice as likely to choose life.

Right now, through a match of Tanya and I, your gift is doubled. So right now, we didn't meet our goal yesterday. If you would like to donate, I'm matching dollar for dollar for $100,000, and I know there's somebody behind me that will match dollar for dollar after that. Can we do 80 days and nights. Let's finish the first 40 days and 40 nights of sponsoring their entire network 24 hours a day. Dial pound 250, say the keyword baby. That's pound 250 keyword baby preborn.com slash Beck. Okay, so let's look at some poll numbers here. First of all, the favorite talking points, inflation is decreasing. Inflation is decreasing. Gas prices are down. deficit has decreased.

Really has it from when? That's what you have to ask yourself. From when? Here is what people are saying about their situation. 98% of Americans say they are not in a better situation economically under Bidenomics. 95 say their grocery bills have increased under Bidenomics. 97% say their gas and diesel bills have increased under Bidenomics. Bidenomics. Sixty-three percent say the mortgage has increased under Bidenomics. Ninety-eight percent say

utility bills have increased under Bidenomics. Sixty-four percent say they're living paycheck to paycheck. Ninety-nine percent say they're not optimistic about the economic future of the country. 58 percent say the American dream is not achievable anymore. 84 percent say the American dream will not be achievable in the near future. Ninety-seven percent say Biden administration is waging a war on the middle class 98 say the U.S. is not better off now than when they were a kid. That's how the average person feels. However, last night I went through gaslighting and I showed you the truth on this and I just want to replay the chalkboard segment from last night's episode because Biden had come out and said that this is the, what was he, the third or fourth

cheapest Thanksgiving in history. Now, I tried to make sense of that. Listen. Even the mainstream media is having trouble covering for this debacle. Bloomberg ran the numbers, and they're insane. In fact, I would like to show them on a chalkboard, because this is just so sweet, and I think you'll be able to relate on how cheap everything was.

The actual cost for an average American this Thanksgiving. Now, this is Joe America. He's sitting, I heard from the administration, he's sitting on a pile of cash, pile of it. Okay? He drew the short straw. He has to host the entire family at his house this year. The entire family is flying in, which kind of sucks because Joe had to help out with some of their travel, especially given that the cost of airfare,

Remember, he even mentioned airfare. It's the cheapest airfare. It is up this year over 25%. Okay, well, that's going to be hard just to... Everything else must be really cheap just to offset that. Well, Joe invited everybody out because he was hoping that he was going to be in a brand new house this year. But home values, he kind of had to put that one on the back burner because... The price of a house has skyrocketed.

The price of a house now is up 42%. So that's double from when Donald Trump was in office. It also doesn't help now that the mortgage rates, your interest on this, is now up four percentage points. Okay, so we got that. So Joe was out of luck, so he couldn't get the house. and he's just living in an apartment building. Now he rents an apartment.

He's been screwed on that one too because that one, his place of occupancy, is up 24%. That's just in rent. Adding insult to injury, water bills, he's hoping that he was going to live by a lake so he could just go get a cup of water at night for free when he wants it, because now water is 16% higher. and electricity, if he's really lucky, he can get hit by a lightning bolt while he's out there, and then maybe the light bulbs will work just because the electricity's in him,

because the electricity from the power company is up 25%. Wow, food must be so cheap just to cover for these increases. But Joe's resilient. He's an American. He takes solace that he doesn't. live in California because their electric bill in California is up 51%. Yeah, let's get Gavin Newsom in here. Now, Joe inspects his kitchen before the big Thanksgiving feast. And he's like, I mean, I got to get a new gas stove. And he had to go buy it. But the problem is all major appliances are up 12%. Oh, and if it's gas, I mean, you got to do it.

to do, but it doesn't help that natural gas now is up 29%. You see how this is the cheapest, fourth cheapest ever. Now, Joe heads to the garage. He inspects his car. He's got to be diligent to keep up his. He's got a really nice car. I mean, it's, sure, you might have called it in the old days a jalopy, but that would be gas lighting. He's been diligent to make sure he keeps it in tip shop shape because a major breakdown would be catastrophic, the price to get your car fixed through the roof. But used cars, he wanted a new one, but used cars are now 35% higher. And car insurance? Car insurance is only up 33%. Okay? Now, Joe also, he's going to the store, he's got to get some gas for his jalopy.

And that's gone from $1.80 before the greatest economy ever to $3 a gallon just a short three years later. So Joe decides

I know the turkey because I heard the president is really cheap. So I'm going to put some gas in the car and I'm going to drive to the grocery store, pick up a turkey. But he's hungry now, you know, don't shop while you're hungry. So he stops by McDonald's. It's not really McDonald's. He sees the logo is a little different because it's a knockoff because McDonald's, the food, have you seen this? Oh yeah. I hope you're comfortable spending money on fast food

because the Washington Post has just debunked a recent story about a $16 combo meal at McDonald's. Post noted that the meal in question was a novelty item and that the White House confirmed that inflation was in fact falling. But Joe soon finds out this was gaslighting because inflation is still in its sane highs. The easing inflation that the Biden boys keep talking about is really just prices growing at a slower pace. But nothing's really changing. Joe orders the Big Mac combo meal. Yeah, price. $10.

Big Mac fries at a Coke, $10. And in some places, they are higher. Why? Because since 2020, restaurant food is up 24%. But don't worry, says Joe, I'm going to make it myself. He gets to the grocery store. His bank account is disappearing like Joe Biden at a press conference, ground beef, which he doesn't need,

a good thing because it's $2 higher than it was. Okay. But I don't need it. Coffee is also $2 higher. So we don't have fruit and vegetables, 14% higher. Wow. Dog and cat food, because he's thinking, I really am looking for that cheap.

And so he's like, how about some dog food? I mean, I know it was something that only old people ate when they were completely out of money, and it was shameful at that point. But now Alpo and other dog in cat food, that's up 17 percent. So he can't even get the Alpo. That's a luxury item now. So what's going on? Because in 2020, Joe would spend $238 per week on groceries. Okay?

Now he's spending well over $315 per week. I hate to be Sesame Street, but White House, which number is bigger? Average altogether, groceries are up 25%. So how exactly does our president say, it's the fourth cheapest. How's it possible? How's that possible? Now, there's a couple of other things that I'd like to bring you up to speed on, but before a break, I want to tell you just this one.

Biden has come up with a new way because he's very angry, very angry, because it's something called greed. Greed flation, I think, is what they've named it. Yeah, greedflation. It's just corporate America being greedy. And it is time to give the American consumer a break in price gouging. Now, how can it be the cheapest and yet there's price gouging? How's that possible, White House?

All right, so I'm going to put this all in perspective here in just a second. First, Rough Greens. Having dogs around your house around you makes everything better, I think. It's not like cats. I mean, cats are, let me tell you something. Cats are practically the animal version of Hamas. They are planning to murder you in your sleep all the time. Dogs are glad you're there.

Dogs will stop cats. You see what I'm saying? Anyway, if you have a dog, you want your dog to be healthy and happy and give them the best. And I suppose if you're a cat lover, you want that too. But sorry, you can't help you out with a cat thing. Here it is, Rough Greens. This was something that came up with by Dr. Dennis Black. He said, just sprinkle this on the food.

If you're feeding your dog, kibble food. It has everything they need, including all the probiotics and everything else, that is cooked out of the kibble food. Rough greens, so confident your dog is going to love this. They want you to have the first trial bag for free. All you pay for is shipping. Call 833, Glenn 33, 833, G-L-E-N-N-N. 33. It's roughgreens.com slash Beck. 10 seconds. Station ID.

All right. So here's, have you ever heard of doom scrolling? You know what doom scrolling is still? Sure. Everyone, everyone has probably done it at some point or another. And what is it? Basically, you're just endlessly scrolling your social media feeds, which, by the way, never end by design. And you keep going and going and going and feel an utter sense of doom. Okay, good. Good. So there is now something that is happening in America, and it's happening more with those under 30, but it is called doom spending. And especially those under 30 are saying, you know what, I'm just going to live. I'm going to live in the day. I don't really care what happens tomorrow. And they are just spending and spending and spending and putting it on a credit card. And I think part of this has to do with look if the whole world is going to melt down you know everybody's

going to default anyway so why do i care yeah that's really bad really bad uh because as we learned in oh eight others might get uh out of their their loans and their debts but you will not my son since he was a kid, used to say to me, what difference does this make in school? I'm not learning anything. He likes to learn on his own. And, I mean, he can tell you anything about anything if he's interested in it.

And he wasn't interested in a lot of the stuff. I mean, there were a few history teachers that he ended up teaching. And he would say, it's no good, Dad. What am I doing? this for. And I said, you're going through gates that are important in society to go through. You have to have a formal education. You don't want to close doors only for this reason. You could educate yourself, be out of school, do whatever you want. You can do that at a certain age. You could drop out of a

recommend against it because it because you did that it will close certain doors for you you may never want to go through that door but you as a young person want every door open to you that you can possibly keep open all right you've seen your kids close doors you've seen your kids do things and you're like well geez that okay and then they'll come to you and they'll be like hey how come this didn't happen or i wanted to do this and you're like well you close the door on it you didn't do the thing that you needed to do to have that door ability to open that door and walk through it. When you're young, you want to do as many things as you possibly can to keep as many options open to you as possible, especially when you're young. You're under 30. My career

didn't really start. I mean, I started radio when I was 13 years old. But I don't don't think my career really started until I was 40. I turned 40 and thought, I haven't accomplished anything in my life because I sobered up at 35. Doors were closed. It was hard for me to open doors again, but just because I'm obstinate, I open, I kick the door down. When you put yourself in debt, you close doors. If you default on that debt, you close even. You close even. You close even more doors for a very long time. Bankruptcy, I mean, I'm sorry, I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but if you know somebody in this situation and they are doom spending, don't do it. Bankruptcy lasts for seven long years where no he's going to do anything. I mean, already,

if you have just an iffy credit score, you're having a hard time getting loans. Keep all the doors open. Doom spending is a real thing. People feel so depressed. I know I've done it. I've done it. I've done it recently where things were so bad, you know, on certain things that I just went out. I just went out and chopped.

And it didn't make me feel better. I thought it would while I did while I was doing. I'm like, yeah, it does for a little bit. Yeah, it does for a little bit, and then it's over. And it's just, it's going to lead to real trouble if you're doom spending. Remember, we all survive this. I don't know what the world looks like when we go through it, but we all survive. We're all going to have a life on the other side of this.

It does correct itself. the only scenario where doom spending would be maybe okay is if Jesus sent you a telegram and said, I'm coming by the end of the month, so rack up the American Express. Okay. I haven't received that telegram. With an exception of Jesus coming, all of us survive this and are on the other side. don't doom anything. And don't worry.

It's all going to be taken care of, honestly, because Biden is threatening companies now. You know, they better lower prices. They better lower prices because inflation is down. It's the cheapest it's ever been. But somehow or another, they've jacked up the price because they're greedy. Huh. I thought everybody felt good about the economy.

And it's, of course, important in these times to do good things. things for your friends. That's why any of these purchases you may have made in the doom buying spree, I will be happy to take off your hands so that you don't feel the guilt of what you've done. That's just something that I would do for you. So would you buy that at a like a great discount? You know, I would. Although I think the right thing to do for your mental health is just a zero dollar transfer to me.

I don't think, I don't think, because that would be rewarding you if you were to get money back for it. This is not right. So just give me whatever you bought. Yeah. And then you take... And the debt is a reminder of to not do that again. A monthly reminder. Other tip. Don't have friends

like Stu. The Glenn Beck Program. If you're a gun owner, you know as well as I do that there is nothing quite as satisfying as hitting what you're aiming at. You know, the thing that people really miss, and anybody whoever tries a gun,

if they just go for a day and just do an hour of shooting, almost every time they're like, this is fun. It is. It is. You want to be able to have fun and hit the target and everything else. But when it comes to it, you also want to be sure that you are hitting and right where you're aiming

I got to tell you, I love Elon Musk. I do. I don't know if he's, you know, he could turn out to be some super villain in the end.

I don't know. Stranger things have already happened. So who knows? but this guy is he's just he's got so much F you money you know my my dad told me you know what you really want to do someday is have enough money to just say F you what does that mean dad and he was like people are going to ask you to do things and compromise and everything else and you know you might think when you're younger and you don't have the money I got to to do what I got to do to put food on the table.

He said, so get yourself in a situation where you can go, yeah, really? F you. This is the real reason why the left hates billionaires. It's not because of income inequality. They don't care about income inequality at all. What they care about are people that can resist all the pressures that they put on people. And Elon Musk doesn't care. Right.

That's why they hate billionaires unless they're on their side. You've never heard about income inequality when it comes to George Soros, have you? No. Okay. So if you're on their side, but he really doesn't care. He really doesn't care. There's a new book out on Elon Musk, and it talks about his childhood with his dad, just berating him all the time. Yeah, I mean, his childhood was really rough, and his dad was, you know,

according to Elon and everyone else in his family other than his dad, was very, very abusive toward him and everybody else. And one of the scenarios that they recount multiple times in the book, it's by Walter Isaacson, is that he was, he would come home and his dad would sometimes be in good moods, right? He'd be in good moods, he'd be a great dad. And then another time he'd come home and his dad would just tell him how stupid he was, how worthless he was, how he would never amount to anything, and berate him and berate him for hours. and he was required to stand there and take it for hours and hours and hours on end. Now, think about that as a formative experience in your life. Are you going to care what Media Matters says about you?

Are you to care what the New York Times says about you? Are you care about some advertiser leaving your platform? You will hate bullies on any side and you will defy them. One of my characteristics, and I don't know how this developed in me, but one of mine is, you tell me you can't do it. It's why I love Walt Disney and Orson Welles so much. You tell me you'll never do it. You can never do it.

You'll never get past these people. Oh, you've guaranteed that now that's all I think of doing. And you do it. He's like that with bullies. Now, here's what he said on CNBC yesterday in a live interview. Listen. Apology tour, if you will. This had been said online.

There was all of the criticism. There was advertisers leaving. We talked to Bob Eiger today. I hope they stop. You hope? Don't advertise. You don't want them to advertise? No. What do you mean?

If somebody's going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go to fuck yourself. But go yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is. Hey, Bob.

Here in the audience. Well, let me ask you then. That's how I feel. Don't advertise. Okay, so... Wow. So, look, it's another world, right? It's another world.

Never see stuff like that. But isn't that what we said 12 years ago, just on a very small scale compared to him? I mean, with less language, but... Yes, but it was my money. everybody said we couldn't do it. Everybody was trying to put us out of business. And I said, go F yourself.

We're doing, we're going to build it our own. And we're going to build it in a way. You're not going to be able to touch us. And I said, we will be, you will, you will beg for the days

when we were just on Fox. We're having the best ratings, everything now. Then we, than we've ever had in my career. It looks like these are the days where you would beg for me just to be on Fox. Okay. It was my money.

So if I want to flush it down the toilet, I will. That's his money. You want to flush it down the toilet. Now, the difference, the one thing that I think he didn't expect or people don't understand. when I talk to people who are newly getting into this business and they'll say, okay, so what should I expect? And it's the first thing I say is you're going to have to understand that you're going to play to only half the audience available. You're going to play to half the country because you're going to be on so many lists that they are going to target you relentlessly. They will destroy your reputation.

They will do everything they can to destroy you as a person, destroy your family, destroy your business. You just understand going in. This company that we started with you, what, 12 years ago, Blaze, if this were any other company, it would sell in the billions. It would easily be a billion dollar company. Agree or disagree. I mean, I don't know all the numbers, but yeah. Yeah, probably. It's very, very successful. I mean, we know companies that sold in this industry that were on the left sold for over a billion. And they, and we dwarf them. Okay. We're never going to get a billion dollars for this. Not in this climate. Maybe our children will be able to do it when America goes sane again because they've done everything to destroy it. Now, I did it on a smaller scale in the millions of dollars. He's doing it in the best. billions of dollars.

So when he says this, and I think he knows, you're going to cut your advertising in half. You're never going to get the Disney's. And Disney, if Disney decides on its own, you know what, I don't want to advertise on Twitter. Fine. Disney's rapidly putting themselves out of business anyway. It's not a long-term client for anyone. So if they decide on their own, they want to do that.

that that's fine. But what he's fighting and he now knows are organizations like media matters. He used the word blackmail. It's not blackmail. It's economic terrorism. Anyone who says, you must do this or I'm going to boycott all of your advertisers. Then they lead a campaign, like they led a campaign against me. And they came up with all these advertisers that, We're no longer going to advertise. The funniest one was Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz has never advertised on a Glenn-Back program, ever. Before there were anything political, they just don't advertise on shows like mine.

They just don't. And so, media matters. Why would Mercedes-Benz make a statement that they will never advertise unless somebody had a gun to their head saying, say it, say it. Okay? And quite honestly, Mercedes-Benz, if you want to take a stance against me because I'm a, quote, Nazi, let's have that fight. I mean, I have pictures. I have pictures of Hitler in your product. You don't have a picture of Hitler listening to my show, so let's have at it. I mean, geez.

It's just ridiculous. And it is, I mean, it's a form of attempted economic terrorism. I mean, it's not very successful. It's, in many ways, it's more of a grift of the left than it is some pressure campaign on the right because they convince their own donors to keep shoveling money so they can live in nice houses and fund their own lives. When really, do they ever get anything done? Are they ever accomplish anything? No, they have accomplished this. They have divided the country and made us into a country to where labels truly matter for some unknown reason.

You know, that label is with that label, that's bad. That label with this label, that's good. So they've really accomplished that for a limited time, because over time. that's it's just not true so it's going to burn itself out and and they are teaching Elon Musk now the cost of not being popular they're they are bullies you if you are beat up at school all the time because you're whatever you beat up in school all the time you learn the lesson if i want to be this. If I choose that this is my, this is who I am, I'm going to get hit in the face over and over again and I'll never be in the cool kids club. Fine. I never sat at the cool kids table.

I mean, I was the one getting food thrown at me. You know, I was not the cool kid in school. And I know that comes as a surprise, ever. So, do you think I care? I'm used to it. I'd like to sit at the cool kids table, but not compromise and become something I'm not. Go F yourself. Who cares? Really? You think you're in a club that has to work to bully people to say, oh, you're the cool one. You're the cool one.

You're stuffing people into lockers, so everybody will be afraid to say, you're a fraud. I don't like you. And I'm going to compromise myself to sit at your table. No, thank you. I'm not going to play your gerbils to your Hitler. Sorry. And Elon Musk has, I mean, whatever amount of that you have, he has at times a million. A million.

So he just doesn't, I mean, one of the reasons why Tesla was successful. was because he didn't care if it lost a fortune year after year after year after year. He didn't care. He believed in it. He wanted to do it. He thought it was, as he says in this interview, he says he's done more for the environment than any single human being in history. Which I believe is true.

I mean, if you're talking about, you know, gas. From the left wing perspective, I would say yes. That's probably true. It takes more, I mean, it does more to the environment with the batteries and everything else. But he's single-handedly responsible for the. the electric car movement and the success of it at this point, as limited as it is. But it is successful at Tesla.

And he built that because for all those years, at the beginning, he didn't care, right? He didn't care if he lost money year after year after year after year. And he almost shut down. I mean, he wanted to make money, but he didn't mind hemorrhaging cash. By the way, just like at the beginning with you at this company, you didn't mind hemorrhaging cash as we were building this.

You've minded it. I minded it after a while when it was like, I'm out of cash. But you didn't mind. No. Risking it at all. Risking it, right? It's the same thing with him. Everyone told him, why the hell are you going to build a bunch of spaceships to go with SpaceX?

Because he did, he prioritized this mission that he believed was important over his money. This is what makes him enemy number one for the left. Because he doesn't care. And once you get past of, once you get past the fear of, oh, no, they're going to cancel me. Oh, no, they might say this about me. Oh, no, I could lose my job. Once you get past that, nobody will screw with you because you will frighten the hell out of all of them. Because when you walk into a meeting or you walk into an office, you're the guy with a twitchy eye that they all look at and say,

good God, man, he just might do it. Yeah. Yeah. I make promises to myself first on who I am, and then I'll make you a promise. If you ask me to violate who I am, see ya. I'd rather live in poverty than spend the rest of my life in hell compromising, and then because of that compromise, maybe spending all eternity in hell. No, thank you. my priorities. Back in just a second. First, let me tell you, conservative adults, it is easy

sometimes to take the concept of the free market for granted that we do. And so we never really taught it to our kids. And we need to. Now, teaching your kids how to do a lemonade stand, make money, that's all important. I teach my kids from the get-go about taxes. My kids don't like taxes because daddy charged taxes on everything they did. Oh, the daddy food tax is the best part of the meal. Oh, it is. Thank you very much. Whenever there's a dessert coming in. Oh, Daddy food tax. 10%. Anyway, and I would say to them, that's only one bite. Imagine if I took 50% of your cake. Anyway, Tuttle Twins Beck is the right way to teach the free market rules.

Yeah, we should get into this maybe a little bit next hour going on where he goes. Because one of the reasons why I started reading this book, which is pretty long. And I'm not like, I wouldn't say I'm not an Elon Musk head. I'm not like, you know, obsessed with everything about Elon Musk. But one of the things that is interesting is, especially since the Twitter thing started, is I can't figure out if he's actually a good businessman or not. The experience... Tesla is doing pretty well.

Tesla is doing really well. Yeah. SpaceX is doing pretty well. SpaceX is doing pretty well. But what, how and why is my question. Because when you look at his other companies, like, you know, like he blew up PayPal. Yeah. You know, and wound up, you know, getting thrown.

basically, they launched a coup against him. It was such a disaster. He was thrown out of his previous company, too. All the money he made on these early companies where, you know, he wound up being kind of tossed out in a bad situation. But his last two companies have done pretty well. Right, but it's different. It's not like he's a business genius.

He's just a genius genius. He comes up with incredible ideas. Okay, so let me. We're running out of time. Yeah, we'll come back. I've got a couple of incredible stories to tell. I want to clarify something about Elon Musk that I think just the name of his car company explains it all. Yesterday I said, Tanya and I were going to do 20 days of paying for the services at Preborn.

And I challenged you to do another 20 days. So we could complete 40 days, 40 nights. Money is very tight. And I asked you if you could give even $5, $10. We didn't meet our goal. I'm still going to match you dollar for dollar up to $100,000 so we can have $200,000, which is 40 days and 40 nights. Would you join us in that? $2, $1, $5.

To me, it is not the amount that you give. It is the act of putting. into action what you believe in. And I know you believe in life. And I don't think there's anything we can do to call down more blessings in our life than saving God's children. And that includes the moms. Preborn.com slash Glenn.

We are so glad that you have tuned in today. I don't know if you saw the New York tree lighting at Rockefeller Center yesterday. Yeah, me neither, but I read about it and it's in our show prep

today. If you get that, it's free at glenbeck.com. Pro-Palestinian protesters swarmed the tree lighting, tried to stop it. They were actually carrying swastikas. Signs with swastikas. Now, I happen to believe all swastikas are created equal, but apparently some are more equal than others because nobody seemed to care about these swastikas. Uh, yeah, things are a little dicey all over the world, especially if you're Jewish, and our souls are at stake. Never again is now. more in 60 seconds.

Lieutenant Colonel, how are you, sir? Thank you very much. Thanks for having me.

You bet. First of all, what is the mood of the people? I've been shocked to hear, well, I shouldn't say that because this was like after 9-11 in America, how we rallied together and after we really, once we started breathing again, We were optimistic and united. Is that still the case in Israel? I would say we are still not breathing here. As I sit sitting in my Tel Aviv headquarters in the idea of spokesperson's unit,

I have my television on and everybody is glued to the television watching as two ladies, two young women are being released as we speak. and this is the latest installment of the release of hostages, those 240 so hostages that were abducted by the month on the 7th of October. So we are still not breathing. We are still very, very, I'm saying very focused. Society is gathered around the need for a paradigmatical, a change that brings safety and security for Israel,

for the south of Israel, but not only the south of Israel, everywhere around. We are this homicidal organization that has used the powers of government to create this weapon, this machine of terrorism, can no longer be permitted to have this power. And that's all. We have to get the hostages, hon. And then we have to get rid of Hamas. Can you tell me why, or who decided on what prisoners were to be released by Israel? Did they ask for the specific names or what?

Because some of them are really nasty. I think, you know, the underlining common denominator of all of those releases that they have either convicted for violent crimes or intended to conduct violent crimes. The IDF did not or does not consider the list is not really under our responsibility and the government, with its decisions and deliberations, with the other security services, makes the decision. But what we can see is, yes, indeed, some of them are nasty, some of them try to blow up car bombs and stand civilians.

And yeah, a huge challenge, but, you know, the government has made this decision in order to bring back those that have been abducted. That are, you know, there isn't anybody that hasn't been affected by the abductions. You know, myself, it's friends, it's family friends, it's relatives. It touches everyone and everyone in society. And this is why this is, you know, it may be a price, but we always put out, put life, and this is this is a challenge with this ruthless enemy out of the hostages that are remaining how many are women and children how many are American left I think have that current breakdown we've released up until today 99 women and children

babies youngest of three or three four and a half years old eldest and women in their 80s and there are still women and children that need to be released. The latest story is of course the story of these beautiful ginger babies, Kfir and Ariel Bibas were abducted and we've been demanding that they bring brought home with their mother shir. This is, this is more and more devastating news coming out about hostages and these people. But we are determined to bring everyone, every last one of them home. The instructions that we have been given. And we do believe that the operational pause advances the goals of the war of bringing home the hostages and dismantling hummus.

I hope so. I hope you get back to business when it's – don't listen to our administration. I don't know what our administration is doing. But I'm not going to ask you to comment on that. But please just do the right thing and make sure that the bad guys are all dead, quite honestly. We have been trying to find out. I can get the names of hostages really from almost every country except for the United States. And, you know, people were tearing down the pictures of the Israeli hostages, Palestinians were.

And it's shameful. My staff wanted to, a couple of them wanted to take one to their synagogue, one to their church. the names of people and the names of the Americans so we could pray for them, we can't get the names. Do you know who's, how many Americans and who they are? So I'm very cautious

on anything to do with the hostages, specific about hostages, identities and so on. We don't know what they have and we need to be very cautious in public, publicizing and sharing information. We haven't shared any specifics about anybody. And I think that's a wise move at this time. And we need to pray for them as a collective.

Right. We need to keep them in our thoughts. And what we are doing from the military perspective is making sure that we can, you know, gather the intelligence and seek out those that are holding them and be prepared for the next stage of this war. taking the war to Hamas. Well, Lieutenant Colonel,

I can't thank you enough for, you know, your sacrifice. I think you were a reserve, weren't you? What were you doing on the sixth? My date, I was on the sixth.

I just came back from a vacation with my family in Florida. We were enjoying some good sun rays. And we came back from the U.S. and I was lying in jet lagged on the 7th of October, very early in the morning, going through my social media at like 4.30 in the morning. And then my phone started to ring at 6.30 here.

My wife woke up from the ringing of the phone of the sirens of rockets being launched at us, and she said, what's going on? And I said, there are sirens, rockets being fired down south. And as I said down south, the sirens started to sound. In my city, which is a suburb of Tel Aviv, so in the art of the country, we went down to our shelter and took my daughter, my 12-year-old daughter. We went down to the shelter, and when we came up from the shelter, I saw the images on social media of Hamas power gliders coming over the fence. And I looked at my wife and said, something very different is happening today. I think they're going to call me up.

And she looked at me and she said, are they coming for us as well? You know, everybody feels this attack very, very personally. The assaults on Israel's Israeli society, it's very personal to all of us. And so for me, there wasn't any a question or a doubt. The country calls a report for duty, and I'm very proud of being today able to speak on behalf of the IDF and very proud that I have the confidence. And I hope that I'm worthy for the servicemen and women on the front line. Well, thank you so much. And I just want you to know, there are millions of Americans, millions. No matter what you see on television coming from here, the hatred on our streets is reminiscent of the 1930s and 40s, and there are millions of us that will stand in their way. It's not going to happen again on our watch. And please convey that to everybody that there are.

millions of Americans who are with you every step of the way. Thank you very much. You bet. Thank you. We've been trying to get somebody from the IDF on for a while to talk about the hostages. I feel bad that I might have put him in a difficult situation to talk about the U.S. hostages. But this is something that has bothered us because we can get the names of the hostages everywhere. Okay. We can't get the names of the Americans. And we reached out and we asked the State Department, I think nicely, why are you not releasing these? Because I can get them from any other country. Why are you not releasing them? This is our letter to the State Department yesterday. Hello, I'm a producer for the nationally syndicated Glenn Beck Radio program. We have not been able to find a list of the United States citizens who are being held as hostages by.

by Hamas. The identity of hostages from other countries have been published and are easily accessible. Will you release the names or descriptions of the hostages who are United States citizens? If not, can you explain why you're unwilling or unable to release the names to the public? Our deadline for responses tomorrow morning, 8 p.m. Eastern, or 8 a.m. Eastern time. This is the State Department's response. Good afternoon, comma. out of respect for their privacy, no period,

regards State Department press. Okay, well, thanks. Thank you. That was a little terse. I don't think we, you know, deserve that, but, you know, not from our own government, you know, but, uh,

okay, out of respect for their privacy, I don't think the United States government cares about people, privacy. You want to talk about privacy. Come on, United States government. Come on the program. We'll talk about your respect for privacy. Now, could it be that you don't want to give any more information because the terrorists can use it, because somebody is, you know, a daughter, son, mom, you know, or individual, some woman who's very instrumental in, you know,

whatever, and they're afraid that that could cause more trouble. I understand that, and you don't have to tell us. That's what I was looking for. I was looking for either the list of the names so we could publish the names so people could pray for families by name. You know, God knows who they are, but we thought it would be nice. But I get a response out of respect for their privacy. I somehow another don't believe that to be true.

Now, maybe because they do care about selective privacy. You know, the privacy of the Biden family. They care deeply about. The privacy of the Trump family? Not so much. Privacy of your family? No. Soros family?

Absolutely. Maybe it's just me. But I can't give you the names. I'd like to know, you know, what we're doing. I don't need to know, but I don't trust this government that it is the government that has the citizens or Israel's or America's best interest at heart. It's an interesting calculation. I mean, you could see a scenario where if, you know, the American media latched on to one specific hostage, they become higher value. Easily.

So it's possible there's a reason why we don't know those things, although it's obviously. that every other country seems to be releasing lists. Correct. So I don't know exactly what the reason. And that could be because somebody is being held hostage. And that one person, they say don't release any of them because that one person is important and we don't want to let them know who they really are. Maybe. That is a possible, and a real possibility.

But you say we don't want to give anybody any, any. information about anything because it could be used against. And you make it in a general statement. So you're not tipping off that there is somebody. Yeah. I mean, and plus, obviously there's posters being put up all over the country of people who are missing. You know, it's just a strange. It is a really strange situation.

In a normal situation, I'd say, look, give the benefit of the doubt to the, you know, the government and the military. on this. They know more than we do. It's just hard to do that anymore. Did they not know the faces of all of the people in Iran, the 282 or how many hostages were there and they were held? Yeah, 282 hostages held for 400 and some days, something like that. Yeah, and luckily Ben Affleck saved them, but they would have been in trouble. I didn't know he was even involved. Yeah. Oh yeah, he was. I watched a documentary. All right, all right. Let me stop. Tell you about our sponsor this F hour. American Financing. NMLS. 1-8-2-33 You know what is terrifying to me is how many people that are within the sound of my voice who are right now thinking I'm going to lose my house.

I may lose my house. I may not have a place to go because my finances are all upside down. I worry about you. I think about you. I pray for you. And I would, I'm glad I'm not. not in your situation, but may I recommend something that if I were in your situation, I would consider? And that is calling American financing. If you are all upside down with your credit cards

and you own your own home, you could get a loan, refy your mortgage, roll all of that debt in. They can save people and they are saving people like $3,000 a month. The average person is $825, a month. That gives you breathing room. Now, the downside is you're going to pay a higher interest rate on your mortgage. Okay, but you're saving $825 a month, and when the rates come down, you're going to be able to get a lower mortgage. They'll re-fay again, and so you can get a lower mortgage. But this gives you the breathing room that you need. also American financing takes special interests in you, especially, you know, whatever your situation is. But if you have lower credit scores and you have it, you've been turned down, they have special programs for you. And they also have a program design.

And it's free just to help you raise your credit score to get you onto a path of internal financial peace.

So today, out on the Glenn Beck podcast, it's available now, episode 203, it was one of the more difficult conversations I've ever had. And I offered to stop a couple of times. And this brave young woman, her name is Lee Saucy, she was actually at,

the music festival in Israel. She was one of the few survivors. I talked to her, what was it, yesterday, and she tells the story from the beginning and what she went through. The episode is called, I covered myself with bodies. The way she and about, I think,

four other people in this bomb shelter that got to a shelter, and then every 30 minutes for hours, another terrorist group would come in and shoot at the pile of bodies or throw a grenade in. And each time they did that, somebody else died that was hiding under a body. She survived miraculously. Her story is unbelievable. unbelievable. It is

when I we had a little kind of ease in to talk to it and she was fine and then I said so tell me about that morning. Her breathing changed. Everything changed and I said

we don't have to do this if you don't want to. She's like no. No, it's good for me to do it and people need to hear it. The things she went through and did that just to survive, it's incredible what humans will do and how your mind processes situations.

It is an incredible episode. Episode 203 available today, only on Blaze TV. The Glenn Beck Program.

There's testimony that is out today. there is new information about this absolute insidious organization that is now internal in the government, started as external. And it is now a full operation with five eyes.

If you don't know what five eyes is, it's the intelligence agency of the five largest powers in the West, America, England, France, Australia, and either. Germany or Japan, I think. But it's the five major powers and their intelligence, and they share. Okay. Well, now they're spying on us because our CIA and NSA can't spy on us legally. So they spy on us. We spy on them. And when I say them are people, the citizens.

And they collate all the information and they pass it to us. We pass it to them. That way nobody's actually. broken the law of their constitution. It is absolutely insidious, insidious. And it's public-private partnerships. Now, this is what they're testifying about. I want to you hear just a little bit of what Michael Schellenberger said about this. But the First Amendment prohibits the government from abridging freedom of speech. The Supreme Court has ruled that the government may not induce, encourage, or promote private persons to accomplish what is constitutionally forbidden to

accomplish and there's now a large body of evidence proving that the government did precisely that what's more the whistleblower who delivered the c t iL files to us says that its leader a quote unquote former british intelligence analyst was quote unquote in the room at the obama white house in 2017 when she received the instructions to create a counter disinformation project to quote stop a repeat of 2016 The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Cybersecurity, and Information Security Agency, SISA, has been at the center of gravity for much of the censorship, with the National Science Foundation financing the development of censorship and disinformation tools and other federal government agencies playing a supportive role. Emails from SISA's NGO and social media partners show that SISA created the election integrity partnership,

EIP, in 2020, which involved the Stanford Internet Observatory, other U.S. government contractors. EIP and its successor, the Virality Project, urged Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms to censor social media posts by ordinary citizens and elected officials alike. EIP reported

that they had a 75% response rate from the platforms, and that 35% of the URLs that they reported were either removed, labeled, or throttled, or soft-blocked. In 2020, the Department of Homeland Security CISA violated the first

Amendment and interfered in the election while in 2021 Sisa and the White House violated the First Amendment and undermined America's response to the COVID pandemic by demanding that Facebook and Twitter censor content that Facebook said that Facebook itself said was quote unquote often true including about vaccine side effects. All of this is profoundly un-American. One's commitment to free speech means nothing if it does not extend to your political enemies. In his essential new book, liar in a crowded theater, Jeff Kosef, a law professor at the United States Naval Academy,

shows that the widespread view that the government can censor false speech and or speech that, quote, unquote, causes harm, is mostly wrong. The Supreme Court has allowed very few constraints on speech. For example, the test of incitement to violence remains its immediacy.

I encourage Congress to defund and dismantle the government organizations involved in censorship. That includes phasing out all funding for the National Science Foundation's track F, trust and authenticity and communication systems, and it's secure and trustworthy cyberspace track. I would also encourage Congress to abolish SISA in DHS. Short of taking those steps, I would encourage significant guardrails and oversight to prevent such such censorship from happening again. In particular,

it's very easy to see the line in SISA. They say they're covering physical security, cybersecurity, but they added a third one, cognitive security, which is basically attempting to control the information environment and how people think about the world, including the stories that they tell. Stop. This is a new term that everyone needs to learn right now. Cognitive security. What is cognitive security? We used to call it propaganda. But that's old-timey. Propaganda no longer happens the way it used to with, you know, Rosie the Riveter or whatever. That's not the way it happens now. Because of AI algorithms, social media, and all of the information that is out on each of us that we've gladly given

to our overlords at social media. Because that's out and because we now have the tools to remember when they used to say, no, it's just metadata, just big data. We don't know the individuals now. They know everything about you, your family, your history, your children, how you make choices, what appeals to you, what doesn't appeal to you. So now through AI, propaganda is specific to you. And it's not going to come in a Rosie the Riveter thing.

We're like, oh, yeah, you know, I remember seeing those and I felt good about America. It's going to come in little teeny pieces that your brain puts together without you knowing it. All of a sudden, you're thinking in one direction and you didn't have a lot. any idea that somebody planted that. That's cognitive security. As he said, it's our storytelling ability. It's how we make decisions. It's how we see life. It is so unbelievably insidious. This is not the loss of your liberty. It is much deeper than that. It is your loss of free will. because you will no longer know what you decided to do and what you were shaped to do.

We used to say, don't advertise cigarettes on television because, you know, makes people smoke. Joe, the camel's going to make you smoke. If you're dumb enough, maybe you should smoke. If you're dumb enough, like, that camel's smoking a cigarette, that looks good. Oh, it's got to be healthy for me. If the camel is smoking it right there by the pyramids,

they've been around for a long time. If you're that dumb, smoke. Smoke 20 packs a day. Good God. However, we know advertising can be dangerous. This is fatal. And our government is pouring billions of dollars into it. And all of the information is there.

This is not partisan. It's not partisan. This has to be stopped. If Donald Trump were doing it, it has to be stopped. Do you remember what was his name, Robert, Dr. Robert Malone, maybe from Harvard. He was the guy that was trying to do the ephemeral tracking from Google. Do you remember when it depends on how they stack results? And so he wanted, I can't remember what it was.

He wanted to raise $20 million, $20 million. for a research that could prove that Google was swaying elections. He couldn't get money. Couldn't get money from anybody. Why? Because too many in Washington don't want tracking to know they're shaping your thoughts. And he proved that you could change an election just by these little tweak. in algorithms that no one would know about, you just stack things differently, and you can change a voter nine out of ten times.

That's why they didn't want to give him any money, because they're doing it. I think this is the biggest threat to freedom out there. I think this is the one. this is brainwashing and if they can get away with it they will do it they're already but they will continue

and in a very short time AI is progressing so rapidly if we don't root all of this out of our government and all of this out of our big tech if we don't start becoming and demanding for trans

on all fronts, we're lost. We are lost. And it could be under one dictatorship or another, but you lose your free will. You will not know until it's too late. I'm going to give you an amazing story tomorrow that will bring cognitive security to the table. Here's one example I'll give you today. But then I'll show you how it's being done today. You know how the FBI will infiltrate these groups,

the Whitmer case up in Michigan or January 6th? And they have operatives. And those operatives are supposed to be in and infiltrate so they can see what's happening and warn an arrest before anything happens. But the FBI, we now know, is actively. engaged and they are setting people up. Back in the Bush era, the left really cared about it because it was happening to Islamic people, people who believed in Mohammed.

And I said at the time, it was wrong. You can't go in and then offer guns and help hatch a plan and everything else and then arrest the people. You were part of it. You can't do that. That's old-style cognitive security. Go in, convince people to do something and then arrest them. I'm going to show you that very story that just happened online.

And it is horrifying and destroyed this group. Destroyed them. They were in the right. cognitive security was in the wrong. Tomorrow, at this time, I'll tell you that story, and I will show you how bad it's going to be before the election if this committee doesn't stop it right now.

I had an interview with a woman from the air marshal system. Did you know that our air marshals are not on planes right now? Do you know that? Do you notice that planes have to be grounded, then the police have to come on board and take these people. They're fighting. They're doing weird things on planes, right? All the time. Where are our air marshals?

I didn't even think about that. Where are our air marshals? Wait until you hear what this administration has done. That's next hour. So in about 15 minutes from now. Let me finish a conversation from last hour with Stu on Elon Musk. Because last hour you were saying, you know, he's a genius, but he may not be a business genius. Right. I think you look at his history and you see this pattern repeated over and over again. He makes a lot of bad, arguably bad business decisions. Some of his companies have been immensely successful. sometimes because people didn't listen to him,

so early on in his career, but later on, because he was able to walk through a lot of decisions that were highly questionable business-wise to get to a goal that he cared about so much. Okay, so I think that, A, I would, he might have made mistakes when he was younger

and other businesses, but I think he's learned from those mistakes. These seem to be, you know, Tesla is a very good example of that. SpaceX is another great example of that. But everything you need to know about, Elon Musk, I think, can be brought back to the name of his car company. Tesla. Why did he pick Tesla? In America, if you want to talk about electricity, you pick Edison. There's a reason I believe he picked Tesla.

Edison, let me just describe Edison quickly. He was a bully. He was double dealing. He was a liar. He exploited the workers. He exploited everybody. He tried to put everyone out of business, not fairly. In any way he could. He would use Wall Street. He would use powerful, you know, millionaires or billionaires today. He would use the government and he'd destroy you.

You were either for him or you would die. Tesla, on the other hand, Nikolai Tesla, he was somebody who just believed. believed in a few things and wanted to change the world. He couldn't fight the monster that was Edison, and he was driven insane and everything else. However, Tesla won. In the end, Tesla won, and his biggest win was when he found somebody else that didn't care.

And that person was the guy who invented the airbrake for trains and saved hundreds and hundreds of thousands of lives, his name was Westinghouse. Elon needs Westinghouse. I am wearing American Giant today. In fact, everything except this shirt, I'm a T-shirt, this. I just got these pants from American Giant. They are, you know, I don't know if anybody else is like this.

When you put on a pair of pants or pair of jeans, there is a difference between the zippers that, used to be made in America and the zippers that you find on most pants. Maybe this is a guy thing and maybe this is just a Glenn thing. But when they are brass, strong, zippers that you know last, they're not cheap little pieces of crap, it's unbelievable. I put this pair of pants on and I thought, I think these are the only pants I'm going to wear from here on now.

I mean, they are really good. You can get all of this stuff at American giant.com right now. It's American-dash-giant.com slash Glenn. You're going to save money if you use the promo code Glenn. You can get the Rescue 22 classic hoodie. I mean, really honestly, everything that I'm wearing today is American Giant, and it's all super high quality, all made in America.

Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Last night I did a show a Wednesday night special. If you missed it, go back and watch it. You can see it on YouTube or Blaze TV. But it was about gaslighting. First, where is that term coming from? Why was it the 2022 word of the year?

It comes from a movie in 1940, I think of 1941 or 44. It was not a big term at the time. All of a sudden, Miriam Webster was like, gaslighting. That's the word of the year. And that was used against conservatives, not the other way around. So they say we're gaslighting. Well, I think they're doing worse than gaslighting on the economy and the border. Those are the two top things that people are worried about in America.

When you ask about what's the most concerning thing, number one is immigration. I'm sorry, number one is the economy. Number two is immigration and all of the problems. I took both of those apart and showed you the truth last night, but I took immigration in a different way this one time, and that is security. How is our security, the number of terrorists, known terrorists that we have caught coming across the border?

Let me just put it this perspective. During the Trump administration, group of terrorists, I think was nine. came across the border in four years. We are now two months into the new fiscal year, and I believe we have tripled that number. Four years, we've tripled that number in the last two months. That's how bad it is.

And I was led to talk to an air marshal, somebody that was part of the federal air marshals. you know they're not on our planes anymore? Wait a minute, what? Probably the most effective thing we did after 9-11, and we're not doing it now? Why? Why?

You're not going to believe the answer. She's back joining me to finish our conversation from last night in just a minute. First, let me tell you about life lock. Good rule of thumb to remember, especially when you're doing things online, is that, you know, if you've got it, Somebody out there is probably trying to take it from you. Your information, your identity, your money, your property even. That's the game cybercriminals play.

It's also the game the federal government plays, but that's a different story. It's no game if they succeed in cyber criminals. They're going to take it, and you're going to have a real mess on your hands. Your personal information gets exposed so often. It's dangerously easy now, and it's getting easier and easier, and the game is constantly changing. which is why, you know, nobody can catch everything, but LifeLock by Norton is the best.

They detect and alert you to threats that you may not spot on your own, things like loans being taken out of your name or cybercriminals pretending to be you. Don't be a victim. Lifelock.com slash Beck. Lifelock.com. Use the promo code, Beck. You'll save 25% off.

You can just call them at 1-800 LifeLock, 1-800 LifeLock, or Lifelock.com. Whether it's Lifelock.com or 1-800 LifeLock, use the promo code Beck and Save. Okay, so last night I was having a conversation with Sonia High Tower Labosco, and this is how it ended. Listen to this.

This person returned to the hotel. It is important to note that Blank never set foot near the Capitol grounds, in fact, suffers from a disability that makes it difficult for her. her to walk this air marshal with 27 years of experience can you do you remember this case what was what was he assigned to do i do and that's his wife we're talking about glenn he is the special ops uh air marshal he actually assigns the teams of air marshals to follow these individuals

that are on quiet skies or a selectee so this air marshal actually came into duty it was his job to sign the missions for that day opened his computer and saw a photograph of his wife listed as a suspected domestic terrorist, knowing that she had nothing to do with the Capitol. She didn't even go to the Capitol that day. And we proved that through many, many different ways from geo-tracking, her cell phone, her Uber receipts, you name it. We proved it. I've got less than a minute.

You have to tell me if this is true. Did we actually use the Air Marshals to track a four, what was it, four-month-old, four-week-old baby? Yes, Glenn. We're doing that now. the baby's eight weeks old. The baby was not even conceived. It's an eight week old baby who's on a terrorist watch list. That is correct. I didn't have time to fully delve into why our air marshals are following, and I bet it's not hard to track, the eight week old newborn that is now

on the terrorist watch list. Now, one of my kids and two of my kids, they were born with, I believe explosive stuff in their system. And when they would drop a bomb sometimes, it was nasty. But I never thought we should call an air marshal. But apparently at eight weeks, I mean, that's basic boot camp, isn't it? Eight weeks?

What can these babies do to us? Sonia is with us again. Sonia, tell us the story of the eight week old baby. This story was just broke by Uncovered D.C. and Wendy Mahoney. This eight-week-old baby is on the terrace watch list, and it's not just one air marshal that's going to be assigned. It's going to be a minimum of three. So you're going to have three air marshals following this eight-week-old baby, no matter if the baby travels with their grandparents, if the baby just travels with cousins, it doesn't matter. Once the baby's on the list, by their name, the baby is going to stay on that list.

Okay, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Did the parents do something? The father, I think the father was, I think they got him for parading at January the 6th. I think he did face a charge. I think he did walk through the capitol or he, he did something of that nature on January the 6th. Oh, my gosh. Not parading. And this, you know, I think this is his fiance that booked the tickets for her and the baby.

I don't know that they're married. I think this was his fiance. that she booked the tickets for her and the baby to go on, I think, a holiday vacation down to Puerto Rico. So he wasn't even with them? No, he wasn't with him then. No, he wasn't. So he's with them now. They are a family.

So they were flying down to visit family, I think, down in Puerto Rico. And lo and behold, you know, they get to the airport. She gets to the airport. They print out the boarding passes. and here's the baby. As you can see, I think I sent you the picture. It's the infant. It's the infant on the boarding pass.

It says INFT. And then it has the four quad-asses showcasing that they're on the watch list. Well, has the baby blown anything up? I mean, I just have to ask. I mean, is the baby involved in things right now? I mean, you never can tell. Baby wasn't even born. Baby wasn't even conceived.

wasn't even even born then, wasn't even a thought at that moment. This was, you know, back in January of 2021, we're going three years later into this. And I mean, I mean, I knew, look, I knew that we had been following a six-year-old boy and a nine-year-old child. I knew that. I mean, that was a new all-time low for the information we received. But when we received the information on the eight-week-old baby, I mean, how low can you go within the government? for these, to pacify the swamp, right? Because this is who we're pacifying in TSA with the air marshals.

We are pacifying the swamp members that want Americans targeted because they exercise their First Amendment right or they attended a rally or they weren't even there. Anybody affiliated with January the 6th, whether you were at the Capitol or the rally, it does not matter. The swamp wants you targeted. So to give people perspective, and I, Sonia, I believe one of the most of, I think we did two things right after 9-11. We put air marshals on the plane and we made the door to the pilots bulletproof.

Those two things, I think, are the best things we ever did. Everything else was just government nonsense for the most part, I think, at least the way it's been executed. the air marshals are not on board of our planes now because they're not only just following babies and children, but they are also on our border, correct? That is correct, when we have been forced to go down to the border for over two years now, the Air Marshal National Council, the group I work with, we've been fighting that because we know that we have very limited resources in the first place. I mean, the air marshals are only a couple of thousand specialty group inside of TSA, which TSA is a big administrative, 65,000 bureaucratic agency. And then you've got this

little small law enforcement component inside of this administrative agency. And they're smothering our duties as law enforcement with all their bureaucratic administrative red tape that they're using for a political agenda. And our air marshals are doing what? on the border? They are doing non-law enforcement duties. Non-law enforcement. They are driving people to the hospital. They are walking around the facility once an hour and checking a box saying, well, everything's quiet. I didn't see any doors unlocked. They're at the front gate signing vehicles in and out. Okay, well, there's a delivery. All right, this person came in at two o'clock in the afternoon. They left at 2.30. They're handing out water. They're making sandwiches. They are doing nothing.

nothing that they should be doing to thwart hijackings in the aircraft. What's your biggest concern on all of this? My biggest concerns we're going to have another 9-11, Glenn. We're blinking red. If there was ever a time in this country for, it's not even incompetence. I used to think this was incompetence. This is intentional. How can you take the only resource we have from the air and put them down on the border to do no duties?

That's the thing. We're not even doing anything down there. And we're letting the American people, we're ushering in illegals, we're catering to the illegals. And the American people who buy plane tickets and pay security fees and expect to be safe, have nobody looking out for them. You know what's amazing to me is I didn't even put the air marshal. I didn't even think of the air marshals.

Story after story, sometimes it feels like it's once a week. we'll hear about some crazy person on a plane that started an argument or whatever. And not once have I thought, wait a minute, where's the air marshal? Because actually the air marshals are the ones that, you know, hey, sit down if there's a problem. You don't usually have to land the plane right away for some jerk, which the airlines have been doing. these all these incidences of these jerks on planes that's maybe happening more often because we don't have an air marshal is that logical when that's logical look and these have been some very serious incidents if you look over the last two years just alone where we're fighting while we're we know that air marshals are on the border we've had flight

attendant stabbed we have breaches of the cockpit we've had passengers wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait Wait. What? Yes, we've had flight. United Flight 2609 from Los Angeles to Boston. In 2022, there was a flight attendant stabbed on that aircraft. That's correct. What did they use?

A plastic knife? He went in. We're not sure where he got it. He made some type of homemade shank in the bathroom. We don't know if he had it on him or did he get a spoon. We don't know how he did this, but he made a shank. Okay. So that happened in the last two years, and we still don't know how he did that.

Okay. And then the cockpits have been breached? Yes. Well, there's been level four threats that's been called out with the captain stating that the cockpits were, they were trying to breach the cockpit. There's been incident after incident that has happened. And every one of these incidents were normal flights, air marshals would have been on. The long haul flights, remember, that's what Al-Qaeda took our planes for when they took them.

They took the planes with the most fuel. So that's east coast to west coast. Those are flights we normally would have been on. But we're not on those flights because we're at the border or we're following January, 2021 people that potentially were at the rally or at the Capitol. That's what our duties are doing. Your organization, you know, you represent the federal air marshals and, you know, you've done this. how worried are the air marshals about, I mean, the country's at Red Alert. We know this.

We've heard it. We've heard the Homeland Security say we're on high alert right now for terror. What are they saying? What are the actual air marshals saying? They've got to be going crazy. Going nuts, Glenn. They're going nuts because this is 22 years we've been fighting. Look, 22 years, a lot of the men and women that came over came over right after 9-11,

22 years that we have tried to prevent this from happening again, and we are being handcuffed by this administration, totally handcuffed. There's nothing we can do because this administration doesn't want us to do anything. Okay, so what do we do? I mean, besides exposes. We got to get out of TSA. Gwent, we got to get the air marshals to a law enforcement entity. This is what happens when you have an administrative,

bias, political biased association like TSA running a law enforcement program. They weaponized the air marshals for their political gain. Well, we're not going to send them to the FBI or any other government institution. I mean, I think they should be locally, you know, wherever they're living, that airport should possibly do it. I mean, you know, San Francisco, I think, is the only airport that doesn't hire the TSA to run their security. And they catch more things than any other airport. And I can't believe I'm giving credit to San Francisco. But this, you can't give it to another government agency. Sonia, thank you so much. I'd like to talk to you again on how we conserve you and help get our air marshals back on our planes. Something is going to happen. And

there will be no doubt, no doubt, who exactly is responsible. for terrorist activity in this country. They can name them right now. Sonia, thank you for exposing this. God bless you. All right, I want to talk to you about Goldline, helping you build a hedge around your financial house. When something is going wrong with the economy,

gold is the hedge against inflation, against collapse and everything else. I just read a stat last night. It was staggering. Uh, gold is, I have to see where it is today, but in the article that I was reading, gold's about to break the 2050, uh, marker. And if that happens, then it's a whole new ball game with it. Uh, gold is being gobbled by China, Russia, the central banks all over the world, except in the United States. Why? Please. Please. Please. Do yourself a favor and call Gold Line right now. Please put a hedge of protection around what you have. 866 Gold Line.

Just to ask them about gold and silver. They've got a special going on for every 100 ounce silver bars you buy. They're throwing in extra silver. Just find out all about it at 866 Goldline. 866 Goldline or goldline.com. 10 seconds. Station ID. Where is, well, again, it always works to their advantage.

I don't think it will this time, but they have so many levers of power right now that maybe they just shut it all off. But where is anybody thinking that you're going to be okay in politically speaking if there's a massive terrorist attack? Because we know who's responsible. We know it's this administration. We know it's a corrupt DHS. We know it's a corrupt FBI. Because what are they doing? They're following January 6th.

Babies. Babies. And putting these guys down on the border, our planes don't have an air marshal. When there's a terrorist that most likely came across our southern border, what do you do? if you're a politician. Because I got news for you, everybody's going to know it was your fault.

It was your fault. You intentionally did it. I think that's why they're working so hard on locking all social media and all independent voices down. I have to tell you, I pray that I'm wrong about next year. And I haven't decided how much I'm going to tell you about. what I think could be coming yet. But I am very concerned that you are going to lose many voices that you trust telling you the truth. And over the holidays and right after the holidays, I'm meeting with some people to

try to figure out what you need to know and learn and be capable of in case voices are lost next year. But we are headed towards a year of biblical proportions and we got to keep our cool and we have to be informed. We'll do our best to keep you there at the Blaze and also on the Glenn Beck program. Thank you for listening to us. end back program. When one of our service members dies or is catastrophically injured in the line of duty, who is it that helps the family

pick up the pieces? When we have veterans who have returned to this country only end up homeless on the streets, who's reaching out to help them get back on their feet? Who's helping our nation keep its sacred vow to never forget the horror of 9-11? I'll tell you,

it's you. It's you. And it's organizations like tunnel to towers. There are very few charities that I believe in. And I talk about them on this program. I talk about Tunnel to Towers. I talk about Mercury 1. I talk about pre-born.

I vetted these people. I know. I've seen their records. I know their history. I know they do what they say they do. And that's why I support Tunnel to Towers. They've got all kinds of programs to help the homeless veterans, to help the families of those who passed away, the cops that are shot, they do all of it.

And they do it with your help of $11 a month. $11 a month to Tunnel to T-Torrs.org. That's T, the number twot, dot org. And head over to blazeTV.com slash Glenn. Great Christmas present for anyone on your list. Use the promo code Glenn and save 20 bucks. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you hear.

And I've got some really, exciting news for you and thank you again for being the most incredible audience. I think, and I've done this for 50 years and I studied radio. You are the most generous, kindness, kindness, kindest, um, and active audience, I think ever assembled in commercial radio. yesterday I said that I thought we should do a challenge I wanted to donate to

preborn and I called my wife and I said let's make a donation of a hundred thousand dollars because $5,000 every day will cover all of everything. There are operations all across the country for one day.

So I said, let's do $100,000 and I want to challenge the audience to match me so we could do 40 days and 40 nights of rescuing babies. 40 days and 40 nights, that would have been 8,000 babies, I mean an estimate of saving 8,000 babies. Right. Okay. Let me give you a couple of stats. Since Roe versus Wade, since all, since the, since the same.

Since 972, we've been fighting against it. And we overturn Roe versus Wade. How many babies did they say were saved since then? In the most recent six-month period. Okay, most six-month period. Okay. So, like, the first six-month period after Roe versus Wade was about 10,000 babies, they believe, were saved. Okay.

And, but of course, some of the laws weren't in place in the states yet. So it's hard. So as these states have come online with, you know, better laws, protecting. life. The last six months, they said 32,000 additional births. So I think 32,000 babies that would not have been born previously were born because of the change. So out of all the legal wrangling, all of the things that have happened. Half a century. Yeah. Half a century. 32,000? 32,000 and six months. In six, in the last six months. Worth it. Yep. Absolutely worth it. Absolutely worth it. 40 days and 40 nights, we would make a dent in pushing that number forward by another 8,000.

What happened is you were unbelievably generous and two people stepped up to match my donation, dollar for dollar, and match your donation dollar for dollar. So I put in a hundred grand. somebody else said I'll match his hundred grand you came in and through five 10 hundred dollar increments we raised 100 and I think the current number is 183,000 dollars okay and then somebody else or a couple of other people came in and said I'll match that so what is the total we've raised now five hundred and sixty six thousand dollars now here's where it gets really good

How many days are now covered for the pro-life clinics? The entire network covered for 113 days. So far. In one day. In one day you've done this. One day. How many babies could possibly live because of this? On average, it's about 200 babies a day.

22,600. So far. Which is incredible. An incredible number. day. In a day. In a day. 50 years of legal wrangling, finally getting over or over versus weight overturned, then state loss being put into place all across the country. And that helped 32,000 babies live, worth every single ounce of effort to get that done. But in this, with this audience in one day,

22,600 babies. Incredible. Such blessings. Such blessings. will happen because we're trying to be good. We're not calling people baby killers. We're not doing any of that. We are loving the mothers, helping them for two years with everything they need for the baby. They feel completely alone.

60% of them say, I wish I didn't do it. But I felt alone. I had no other choice. Because of this program, they do have another choice. And we introduce them to their child through an ultrasound that doubles the chance she chooses life.

We're going to do that for 118 days? 113 so far. 130. I think we'll get to 118 though, I'm confident. So that's, we're close to three 40 day and 40 night covenants. Okay. If you want to give, you can go to preborn.com slash back right now, preborn.com slash back. I am overwhelmed by what is happening.

Please be a part of it. Be a part of it. How much money do we have to raise to get up to equal the six months? I can do the math on that. Do the math on that. We were also talking about Elon Musk, and we're going to run out of time. But the Elon Musk audio yesterday, CNN, is saying he said to advertisers that didn't want to advertise on X to F off.

That's not what he said. Listen, do we have it? Apology tour, if you will. This had been said online. There was all of the criticism. There was advertisers leaving. We talked to Bob Eiger today. You hope they don't advertise.

You don't want them to advertise? No. What do you mean? If somebody's going to try to blackmail me with advertising, Blackmail me with money? Go fuck yourself. But, is that clear?

I hope it is. Hey, Bob, here in the audience. So, what was he saying? He wasn't saying if you don't want to advertise. He's saying if you want me

to bend and silence people so you could pose and you won't be boycotted. Screw yourself. I'm not playing that game. I don't want your money that badly. This is the way Americans, all Americans, should be.

I don't want your blood money. No, thank you. I don't want it. If you want me to sell my soul, because that's what's happening here, you are selling your soul. Every time somebody tells you to compromise, to just go along to get along.

Angel Studios is coming out with a movie on Bonhoeffer, and I can't wait. I saw the trailer yesterday. I can't wait. But Bonhofer said, our silence in the face of evil is evil itself. We're by remaining silent, by not standing up, by compromising, by just letting the bullies win,

it's evil what you're doing and it will cost your soul. So I'm sorry, but if somebody is coming to me and he's driven by what he really truly believes, and I'm not saying Disney isn't, but if you come to me with a threat and say, you better change this or we're going to all boycott you, we're going to destroy you, is there a bigger definition of evil than that? I'm not selling my soul. He's saying I'm not going to sell my soul for, what, $55 billion? It's a pretty high high price tag.

But I'm not going to sell my soul. My number's a lot smaller than that. It's amazing. Tomorrow I want to talk to you about it because Stu and I've been talking about he's a genius. He's a genius of geniuses. And we rarely see these people. but there is something to Tesla. He picked Tesla for a reason.

And I don't think enough people there are like, oh yeah, well, he was an electric guy. He wanted to electrify things and, you know, Tesla. No, there's a lot more to Tesla's story than that. And I think if you really want to understand him, I could be wrong on this, but I think if you really want to understand him, you have to understand Tesla.

You have to understand Edison. Tesla. You have to understand Howard Hughes. You have to understand Orson Wells. You have to understand these people who when their back was against the wall, went, screw you. I'm going to talk a little bit about that tomorrow. Yeah, it is the ultimate, you know, power, right,

to be able to not care about this. And this doesn't just come from his money. No. With Elon Musk. I mean, it partially comes from money. There's a lot of people. There is a lot of people. If he cared about money, he would fold.

Yeah. And everybody from his younger years says he never talked about money when he was trying to develop these ideas. It was never the thing that drove him. Tesla. I mean, he figured eventually it would come, right, from this. He at one point said, I will either end up incredibly wealthy or have zero dollars. I think I've been quoted saying that too. Why closer to zero for you than him.

We'll be living the high life or I'll be living under a bridge. But I think it's essential to understand his mindset. It's like one of the reasons why I started reading the book about him was because I don't fully understand like some of the stuff that happens with him. At some point I'm like, is he the most amazing businessman in the world or is he not really a good businessman at all? Because it's really, it's not even a criticism. It's like he doesn't care about the business side of it in some. way. Right. It's not exactly true because obviously he's built these giant companies and he's been very successful. He's a genius. He's just, he doesn't seem to care as much about

the business side. The priority for him is whatever mission he's decided. And he, early on in life, believed, there was three things that he believed were really important. One was space travel. One was the environment. I'm trying to think what the third one was. I can't remember. Wasn't Chicks. No, I don't know. No, no. He's, is, again, he seemed to have participated in this book a lot. So I don't, I don't know how, if he would say it was completely fair, but they definitely, you know, make him out at times to be pretty rough on some of his, uh, of his, uh, of his mates, uh, as throughout life. Like, they had some pretty rough relationships with both sides. Look at the way he was raised. Yeah. It's seriously. I mean, I think it's central to who he is. It is. So, I mean, look, I don't think he's the easiest person to deal. with and people in his life say that. But like, also, you know, that's part of the way he's been able to achieve what he's been able to achieve. I knew a guy who was a genius, absolute genius. Thanks, man. No, nothing like you. Oh. An absolute genius. The guy could do and think in levels you can't

even imagine, okay. He so many times would just be frustrated. You know, I talked to him and think, And he'd be like, oh, God, no, Glenn, this. And I said to him at one point, you get tired of people talking to you who just cannot think is fast. I don't think, I've never seen Elon talk down to people. I mean, he may in his, you know, private life. I've never seen him in public talk down to people. I've never seen him really frustrated. But he's got to be.

because he's thinking it at different levels and all of these press people, how frustrated are people who actually are trying to do something they believe in? And then everyone around them is trying to make it about something that is so much smaller. Right.
