Speaker 1 It's a new day, a time to rain.

Speaker 1 Welcome to the fusion

Speaker 1 of entertainment

Speaker 1 and enlightenment.

Speaker 1 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 America under attack. At least that's what it seems.
The last couple of days we've been watching as

Speaker 2 trucks have been rented from the very same

Speaker 2 place. There are connections between attacks in New Orleans and one at Trump International Hotel.
And

Speaker 2 are there any more to come? The details we know so far, we're going to get you up to speed with it all coming up in just moments. Just in Barkley and for Glenn today on the Glenn Bag program.

Speaker 3 The older I get, the more I think about trust. I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust.

Speaker 3 And the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust. I know we're alike in that way.
We don't trust a lot of people anymore.

Speaker 3 It's like we're all Ronald Reagan trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake. I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly, and that's why I started realestate agentsitrust.com.

Speaker 3 I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes. So we built Real Estate Agents I Trust to introduce you to one of the thousands of agents all over the country that we work with.

Speaker 3 that we have verified that they will help you have the most successful and good real estate transaction possible.

Speaker 2 So if you like me, you woke up New Year's Day to the news of the absolutely horrific

Speaker 2 event of a truck ripping through on Bourbon Street in New Orleans

Speaker 2 and the ensuing attack that took place afterwards.

Speaker 2 Then later in the day, we found out

Speaker 2 not just one, there's something else that's taken place, a cyber truck.

Speaker 2 And if you read the story and the headlines, it was kind of,

Speaker 2 I don't know, it just sounded to me like, hey,

Speaker 2 a Tesla truck exploded.

Speaker 2 And that was some sort of

Speaker 2 coincidence or something.

Speaker 2 Just a battery or something that went off. And I think that's malpractice.
It's negligence by a lot of these media companies.

Speaker 2 I think that may have been the issue.

Speaker 2 But no, it was an actual attack planned. And

Speaker 2 there are some

Speaker 2 connections. So we'll dig into what those look like.

Speaker 2 Seven injured, one dead in the Tesla cybertruck explosion that took place at Trump International,

Speaker 2 the tower there in Las Vegas. There are 15 dead, 25 hospitalized right now.

Speaker 2 The attack that took place

Speaker 2 in

Speaker 2 New Orleans in Bourbon Street.

Speaker 2 Some of the details that are coming out about this.

Speaker 2 Both trucks rented using an app

Speaker 2 called Turo.

Speaker 2 Not blaming Turo, but it's just a fact. They were both rented using an app called Turo.

Speaker 2 Both electric vehicles.

Speaker 2 And somebody pointed this out to me. It was kind of interesting.
He got an email from a guy. He said, you know,

Speaker 2 that Ford truck that was used was a lightning.

Speaker 2 It was a lightning.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 that means, because it was an electric truck, not only does it, it's very, very heavy,

Speaker 2 but it can reach high speeds very quickly.

Speaker 2 And it did on Bourbon Street.

Speaker 2 The other piece that is

Speaker 2 deadly

Speaker 2 is also the fact that the truck would have been near silent as it was

Speaker 2 moving down Bourbon Street and mowing people over.

Speaker 2 The man in the truck, who we know,

Speaker 2 had an ISIS flag tied to the back of it.

Speaker 2 A veteran himself, there's another similarity, a piece of similar information with the man who attacked the Trump Tower in Vegas as well.

Speaker 2 But the man who was in that truck got out and then began firing upon people there inside the French quarter.

Speaker 2 And America is under attack. Now, people have been warning about this for a while.
In fact, later on in the program today, I'm going to talk

Speaker 2 about this particular situation and why people have been warning about it for a while now and what we could face. And what it is really,

Speaker 2 essentially, the chickens coming home to roost in the open border.

Speaker 2 Now there were talks about the individual, the man who was responsible for the attack and who he was and how to come across the border and whatnot.

Speaker 2 Apparently, both individuals responsible for these attacks, according to the reports that we have,

Speaker 2 were people

Speaker 2 that are citizens that were veterans. Matter of fact, they served in the same...

Speaker 2 This is the wild part of it. Not only did they use Turo, which is an interesting piece of information,

Speaker 2 but they serve together.

Speaker 2 They serve together

Speaker 2 in the

Speaker 2 same military base.

Speaker 2 Now, you may say both,

Speaker 2 a lot of these things to me sound a little bit more like coincidence. I don't know if I can add all those up, but surely

Speaker 2 you would say you probably want to take a closer look at some of these coincidences. They seem to add up.

Speaker 2 One of the persons that, again, has been ringing the alarm on this for quite a while has been saying,

Speaker 2 we are more vulnerable than ever before. You and I know this.
We've been talking about it for a while now. Of course, I believe it's one of the reasons why President Trump won the election.

Speaker 2 But we are in a critical time.

Speaker 2 One of the pieces, in fact, it's been quiet. It's been too quiet, a lot of us have said.

Speaker 2 We're in even

Speaker 2 probably a more critical time than that leading up to the election. And you saw

Speaker 2 what that was like. Multiple assassination attempts on President Trump.
And now

Speaker 2 we're at this pivotal moment, the days leading up to the point where he lays his hand on the Bible and takes the oath of office and is inaugurated.

Speaker 2 Sworn into office.

Speaker 2 And this is a time that is

Speaker 2 more precarious than any

Speaker 2 we may have known in our lifetime i'm not i'm not sure about you but

Speaker 2 all

Speaker 2 all of the

Speaker 2 the hope

Speaker 2 all of the optimism that many of us have been feeling leading up until this point right

Speaker 2 really hinges

Speaker 2 on this actually taking place

Speaker 2 so whether they're targets from within or from without

Speaker 2 these attacks, where they're coming from,

Speaker 2 one thing is for sure.

Speaker 2 Things are hanging

Speaker 2 in the balance.

Speaker 2 One of the former CIA

Speaker 2 folks who had been warning about this, her name is Sarah Adams, coming up in the program.

Speaker 2 We're going to talk to her about what she's heard, what she's seen coming, and probably the worst piece of information on it all.

Speaker 2 It's almost unthinkable.

Speaker 2 What do we do to stop it? So they got the Sugar Bowl that was postponed yesterday and will be today, apparently,

Speaker 2 as they have now had to take, I'm sure, new measures to make sure that

Speaker 2 they've cleared that area and done everything that they can. to secure that event.

Speaker 2 And here we are yet again. I find find myself in this weird place.
I don't know about you, but I, on one hand,

Speaker 2 I sort of

Speaker 2 want to avoid large crowds, which I kind of really want to do anyway.

Speaker 2 But I want to avoid large crowds. And then

Speaker 2 on top of it, I think to myself, well, that's how they win. I don't want to let them win.
I don't want to let this type of thing affect me. And I don't know, maybe you feel the same way.

Speaker 2 That's how the terrorists win. And in this case, these terrorists and their motivations, whatever they might be, these two individuals, they couldn't be more, I think, further from one another.

Speaker 2 And it looks in a lot of ways with ideologies and things like that. But

Speaker 2 maybe there are more connections than we know about. Here's what we know this morning so far.
This comes from the Daily Mail. The Las Vegas bomber who blew up the cybertruck outside the Trump Hotel,

Speaker 2 as cops say he served at the same military base as the New Orleans mass killer, Jabar.

Speaker 2 This man, Army veteran Matthew Livelsberger,

Speaker 2 although officials have not publicly named him as the bomber,

Speaker 2 senior law enforcement sources confirming his identity to KOAA and KTNV.

Speaker 2 He served over 19 years in the Army, 18 of which were spent with special forces.

Speaker 2 If your spidey senses weren't already tingling, if you couldn't already smell something already,

Speaker 2 served over 19 years in the Army, 18 of which were spent with Special Forces according to his LinkedIn profile. His current role listed as a remote and autonomous systems manager,

Speaker 2 which he had been in for just three months. A Colorado townhome associated

Speaker 2 with him was raided by the FBI late Wednesday night. Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms brought to assist the suspect

Speaker 2 bomber was raised in Ohio, moved to Colorado Springs as an adult.

Speaker 2 Yada, yada, yada.

Speaker 2 Law enforcement sources reveal that he had died Wednesday in the explosion outside the hotel, previously served at the same military base as a New Orleans terrorist, Shamzuddin Jabbar.

Speaker 2 Police have not yet confirmed that the pair were, the two were known to each other.

Speaker 2 Jabbar, who had allegedly pledged himself to the Islamic State, ramming the pickup truck, which bore the ISIS flag into a crowd.

Speaker 2 Now, there was a whole discussion on whether this was a terrorist act or whether it wasn't, and whether the flag was, all of this stuff happens and it happens so quickly.

Speaker 2 But I will tell you one thing. Thank God for Twitter X.
Thank God that Elon Musk had to, because you wouldn't know any of these things.

Speaker 2 The news that comes, and as it breaks, and it breaks so quickly on Twitter slash X, whatever you want to call it these days

Speaker 2 because of Elon Musk taking this thing over and allowing it to flow and as freely as it does you see things that well sometimes may not be right sometimes

Speaker 2 they may get corrected later and that all gets worked out in the wash but you see things at a pace and at a speed it's like drinking from a fire house really that's the kind of the the world we're in nowadays

Speaker 2 by the way the fbi said it doesn't think that Jabbar was solely responsible for the Berman Street attack. Now we're hearing that maybe that's not so true.
Maybe he did act alone.

Speaker 2 And the question that you may be asking is, what do you believe out of any of this?

Speaker 2 One thing is for sure, the times are very,

Speaker 2 very precarious that we're in right now.

Speaker 2 Pray for this nation. Pray for the strength of the leadership incoming.
And of course, the folks who are working to keep everyone safe today, but now more than ever.

Speaker 2 I think it is more

Speaker 2 obvious than ever before

Speaker 2 what these last four years and even before have

Speaker 2 led up to. The chickens have come home to roost.
What do we do next? We'll talk about that coming up.

Speaker 2 Flesh, we're going to hear from Sarah Adams this morning, a little bit later on, former CIA, and expect to hear exactly why she believes this is going on, what she thinks is happening, and of course, again,

Speaker 2 I think the biggest piece. Okay, now what?

Speaker 2 All of it and more coming in. It's Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 I'll give you the chance to weigh in this morning as well, 888-727-BEC, 888-727-B-E-C-K.

Speaker 2 I want to hear from you and where you think we are. Like I said, conflicting reports in some of the stuff, you know, early on when things come out, this is always sort of how it works in the news.

Speaker 2 Some of the things that may not be true, but one of the things we do know is that they had wired explosives and was working on explosives and apparently had some IEDs, some things that were improvised inside of the truck there, that

Speaker 2 lightning.

Speaker 2 And there are a number of thoughts and theories on why the again the electric trucks were used and what

Speaker 2 what all of that's supposed to mean

Speaker 2 so we'll get into that coming up. But first, there's some of the uh the reports that are coming out

Speaker 6 and this is again from a Louisiana State Police bulletin. Also, a corresponding remote control discovered inside uh the vehicle.

Speaker 6 Now, this is also significant, and according to the same intelligence bulletin, surveillance footage, Molly captured three men and a woman placing one of multiple improvised explosive devices.

Speaker 6 So certainly more to this investigation. President Biden, meanwhile, is not here at the White House today on this first day of 2025.

Speaker 6 He's at the presidential retreat in the Maryland Mountains, Camp David.

Speaker 6 However, he is continuing to get updates from his team, from the Homeland Security Department, from the Justice Department, also from the FBI.

Speaker 6 I want to read something that the president said, actually, I want to go to, rather, some sound from President Biden on the tarmac before he took off from Delaware to go to Camp David. Watch this.

Speaker 7 I've spoken to every member of the agency from the CIA to

Speaker 7 our national security team to our FBI, NSC,

Speaker 7 and we're getting gathering all the, and I spent a lot of time in the government with the mayor.

Speaker 2 What was your reaction when you heard what happened?

Speaker 7 Well, the reaction was one of anger and frustration.

Speaker 8 Thank you.

Speaker 2 Well, it's

Speaker 2 it's it's I hate to say, but it's true. It's his fault.

Speaker 2 The state of the country, the way it's been left in the utter disarray because the border has been wide open and all these security threats,

Speaker 2 it says just the economy.

Speaker 2 There are very various other issues that people have been ringing the alarm on for years on this.

Speaker 2 So you just heard, by the way, this came out earlier. You just heard that there were other people they were looking for, people of interest in the Bourbon Street attack.

Speaker 9 You're getting some clarification from law enforcement officials. What are you learning?

Speaker 10 Yeah, well, for one of the things

Speaker 10 we have been focused on is the FBI certainly was looking at this surveillance video that at the time at least appeared to show that there were other people who may have been involved in placing devices in the French quarter.

Speaker 10 Now we know that law enforcement now has determined that those people had nothing to do with this incident. At this point, it appears that those people

Speaker 10 seen on surveillance video did not have anything to do with placing devices in the French quarter, that this suspect, you know, was solely responsible certainly for the attack, at least as we know it at this point.

Speaker 10 Now, we should make clear that the FBI is still looking at possible associates.

Speaker 10 They're trying to see whether there's anybody who may have been involved in helping to create the devices, the IEDs, whether those people, anybody who might have been involved in helping to plan the ID.

Speaker 2 Well, you know, tough luck with that because the home,

Speaker 2 the Airbnb,

Speaker 2 where they were putting this stuff together, where he was putting this stuff together,

Speaker 2 caught fire and

Speaker 2 burned down. Was that yesterday? I think that might have been yesterday.

Speaker 2 Nothing to see here. Nothing to see.
2025 is already up with a bang, folks.

Speaker 2 And the question is, what comes next?

Speaker 2 Now, video is also circulating online of what appears to be the man responsible for the attack in New Orleans. Video, Shamzudin Jabbar.

Speaker 2 And apparently, it was from a time where he worked in real estate or was a consultant. He's got some interesting ties with some other...

Speaker 2 corporations and whatnot that are starting to come out. You'll hear more about that, I'm sure, in the days ahead.
But this video just strikes me. It looks like anybody.

Speaker 2 Could have been you, me, anybody else.

Speaker 2 And he's talking very coherently and making a lot of sense about different things. And it seems like he's just like a businessman.

Speaker 2 And this is, what, just a couple, maybe a year or two old?

Speaker 11 Texas, and I live in Houston. And I've been here all my life.

Speaker 11 uh with the exception of traveling for the military where i spent 10 years as a human resources specialist and i.t specialist where I learned the meaning of great service and what it means to be responsive and take everything seriously, dotting I's and crossing T's to make sure that things go off without a hitch.

Speaker 11 So I've taken those skills and applied them to my career.

Speaker 2 Now, this is a very coherent.

Speaker 2 This is a very

Speaker 2 serious individual. You would think somebody you would probably hire to work in your company if you had one.
Need for that.

Speaker 2 My question is: how does somebody like this go from zero to jihad in such short time?

Speaker 2 How was he radicalized?

Speaker 2 To what extent did maybe media or social media play a role?

Speaker 2 More questions that we've got to have to ask the days ahead as we get more of this information on the way. Coming up, they're at it again in the midst of all this going on.

Speaker 2 They're trying to break the bird flu

Speaker 2 up to the front of

Speaker 2 things as well. Dr.
Robert Malone joins us coming up after the bottom of the hour with the latest

Speaker 2 on this scare tactic and more on the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 Glenn Beck.

Speaker 3 With New Year's resolutions, many of us will vow to eat healthier, and that's a good thing. But what about your beloved pets and their nutrition? Where's their RFK? Am I right?

Speaker 3 Well, naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black is actually their RFK.

Speaker 3 He's on a mission to provide better nutrition for cats and dogs because truthfully, it's what we're feeding our pets most of it is not good, and we're not feeding them what they need, which is why he created rough greens and meow greens.

Speaker 3 Bring your pets' dead food back to life with live vitamins, minerals, probiotics, enzymes, omega oils, antioxidants, and so much more. It's tasty to the dogs and the cats.

Speaker 3 So improve your pets' coat, digestion, energy, have less vet bills in 2025. Bring a new year at a new pet.

Speaker 5 More Glenn back next.

Speaker 2 Justin Barkley in for Glenbeck today on the Glenbeck program. And you can find and follow me everywhere on social media at Mr.Justin Barkley and justinbarkley.com.
Love to stay up to date with you.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 it's been a wild ride, and this holiday season has been full of it. I often say it's like drinking from a firehouse.
Never a dull medic. The news never stops, and

Speaker 2 it's rare to find truth, logic, and common sense these days on any of the cable networks. That's why we are here.

Speaker 2 Deface the Nation on CBS the other day had the so-called health expert. You could probably, you probably remember

Speaker 2 this individual.

Speaker 2 She was on just the

Speaker 2 all, it was like non-stop on CNN and all the rest of them. Lena Wen,

Speaker 2 former commissioner of the Baltimore City Health Department, she's out there making the case that it's time that the Biden administration needs to get out there and authorize a bird flu

Speaker 2 vaccines. You got birds, you got birds, you got drones.

Speaker 2 You've got what just happened in

Speaker 2 New Orleans and at the Trump Tower. You've got all these things happening at the same time and the crises

Speaker 2 feel like they're overwhelming.

Speaker 2 And you wonder again at the end, the very pivotal time that we're in, whether this is intentional

Speaker 2 or some of this is just incompetence. More on that coming up.
But first of what she had to say this week.

Speaker 13 There are two main things that they should be doing in the days that they have left. The first is to get testing out there.

Speaker 13 I feel like we should have learned our lesson from COVID that just because we aren't testing, it doesn't mean that the virus isn't there. It just means that we aren't looking for it.

Speaker 13 We should be having rapid tests, home tests available to all farm workers, to their families, for the clinicians taking care of them so that we aren't waiting for public labs and CDC labs to tell us what's bird flu or not.

Speaker 13 And the second very important thing is this is not like the beginning of COVID where we were dealing with a new virus, we didn't have a vaccine.

Speaker 13 There actually is a vaccine developed already against H5N1. The Biden administration has contracted with manufacturers to make almost 5 million doses of the vaccine.

Speaker 13 However, they have not asked the FDA to authorize the vaccine. There's research done on it.

Speaker 13 They could get this authorized now and also get the vaccine out and to farm workers and to vulnerable people.

Speaker 2 Here we go again. Why do I get the same feeling? It's here we go again.
And I know I'm not the only one. Dr.
Robert Malone joining us right now with the latest on this. Bird flu.

Speaker 2 Should we be concerned or is it for the birds? Doctor, appreciate you taking the time to be here with us. Again, I watch this stuff and I don't know.
It's just just my spotty sense is tingling.

Speaker 2 Here we go again.

Speaker 4 Hi, Ron.

Speaker 4 Yeah, we do.

Speaker 4 What surprises me about Lena Wen's statement is, number one, it's completely divorced from regulatory reality and from the public health situation as it exists, including statements from the NIH and CDC to their credit that make it very clear that bird flu is currently considered to be a low risk in the United States for human beings.

Speaker 4 But

Speaker 4 what bothers me about Lena Wen's rather hyperbolic statements is they seem to reflect some sort of hidden agenda. And the question is: who is paying her for this?

Speaker 2 What she's saying is that basically, in the remaining couple of weeks, until

Speaker 2 President-elect Biden is sworn in.

Speaker 4 Somehow, in the absence of any kind of a medical emergency, the Biden administration has to jam through authorization of these untested products, which, by the way, are largely based on the mRNA tech.

Speaker 4 And what it calls into question is why is Lena Wynn being given a platform on Face the Nation? And why is she making these

Speaker 4 really totally unfounded claims that fly in the face of federal law, of regulatory norms,

Speaker 4 and everything else?

Speaker 4 This is not a public health crisis, according to the CDC and the NIH in their recent editorial in New England Journal of Medicine. I mean, it can't get any more overt than this.

Speaker 4 This is twisted.

Speaker 2 Doctor, I just,

Speaker 2 yeah, I get those same feelings. And now, you know, to back that up with what you've just said scientifically,

Speaker 2 what is that? You just mentioned maybe there's some profit motive here. Maybe there's some sort of incentivization.

Speaker 2 She's being paid by someone.

Speaker 2 What is this push? Is this the last and final gasp of

Speaker 2 some sort of

Speaker 2 big pharma complex out there

Speaker 2 that wants to try and push this out before the Trump administration gets in?

Speaker 2 What are we watching here?

Speaker 4 That's a really good question. Now, last and final gasp from the pharmaceutical, military, industrial complex is a long way from the situation.

Speaker 4 Those guys are not going to go away, and they're doing everything they can to derail the confirmation of the nominated Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Speaker 4 But it's unclear what is behind Lena Wen's statements.

Speaker 4 Who is she working for? Now, in the case of people like Scott Gottlieb, the former FDA commissioner, we know who he's working for. He's on the board of Pfizer.

Speaker 4 And so he advances Pfizer's interests, but that's never disclosed in corporate media. We have this strange situation of the former director of the CDC,

Speaker 4 and he is making statements that bird flu is 50%

Speaker 4 mortal, you know, causes a 50%

Speaker 4 death rate. That's Bob Redfeld.

Speaker 4 And that's clearly false. That's data coming from, or statements coming from the World Health Organization that reflect what we call a sampling bias.

Speaker 4 What the WHO gets with bird flu and any other pathogen is they get the reports of the most extreme cases and then they compile those and they make statements about how lethal this, that, or the other pathogen is.

Speaker 4 But they're really biased by this reporting problem that they have. But in the case of Lena Wynn,

Speaker 4 it's not clear who she's representing. There's no disclosure about what her background is, who's paying her, potential conflicts of interest.

Speaker 4 She just comes on with these crazy statements that have no basis in reality.

Speaker 4 They're just marketing. They're propaganda.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 from what I understand, what you just mentioned is that bird flu isn't something it sounds like we need to be concerned about personally for human risk.

Speaker 2 What about

Speaker 4 according to the CDC and the NIH? Right.

Speaker 2 What about

Speaker 2 for the animals? I know that we've had, here I am in Michigan, we've had a number of issues they're looking at with birds and cows, and they've been talking about what they can do.

Speaker 2 We just had a law that came through the bill that was passed a few years back, and it finally went into effect, and they can't sell cage-free, what was it? No, they can't sell caged eggs anymore.

Speaker 2 And this has been like wiped off the shelves. And so

Speaker 2 you're looking at that and you're wondering, what's that going to do to the price of these eggs and everything else?

Speaker 2 Is there some issue with food supply?

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 4 So that issue.

Speaker 4 This is a

Speaker 4 highly pathogenic avian influenza. That's the acronym they use is HPAI.

Speaker 4 And it does kill birds. It is endemic in the waterfowl.
So I think you mentioned Michigan.

Speaker 4 So all of the flyways with the ducks and geese, There is significant amounts of this high-path avian influenza in those migratory waterfowl, which is by the way why we can never eradicate it.

Speaker 4 It's out in the wild. It has animal reservoirs.

Speaker 4 So it can be quite lethal to birds. And it has been around.

Speaker 4 It's been around since I think the late 1800s and then

Speaker 14 really

Speaker 4 rediscovered in 1959.

Speaker 4 So this has been with us for a long period of time.

Speaker 4 It does cause death in birds, And it is absolutely industry best practices, particularly with these large chicken farms, these industrial chicken farms, that when they detect an infectious virus like flu in a poultry barn, they go through and they kill all the birds in that barn and then they will, and potentially even in that farm, and then they will

Speaker 4 sterilize those facilities to the best of their ability. And the reason they do that is if they were to vaccinate, and by the way, vaccination is not economically viable in poultry.

Speaker 4 If they were to vaccinate, then the vaccines all leak. And so, what they would end up doing is just selecting for vaccine-resistant virus, just like what happened with COVID with the leaky vaccines.

Speaker 4 Now, cattle is an interesting situation. And

Speaker 4 what's happened here is that this widespread testing for H5N1 or high-path avian influenza in variety of animals has shown that

Speaker 4 we have it in cattle, we have it in dairy cattle,

Speaker 4 and we have what's kind of come out over the last year is that the the

Speaker 4 glands, the cells that make the milk in the udder will support replication of this virus. And so this virus does get shed into milk.

Speaker 1 That's true.

Speaker 1 And it's also true that dairy workers, particularly in California, are getting this infection.

Speaker 4 Are they dying or going to the hospital? No.

Speaker 4 What they're getting is conjunctivitis, red eye, okay, and some mild symptoms. The same is true with the cows themselves.
This is not killing cows. It is causing them to get infected.

Speaker 4 Is this a new thing?

Speaker 4 It's just started happening. We have no idea because they just started testing them.
Where you test them, where you find.

Speaker 4 So that's where we're at with the cows, and they're using this as justification now to push RNA vaccines into cattle. That's the problem, because

Speaker 4 the cow, we know from human studies that

Speaker 4 this RNA technology, these products get shed in breast milk. And so then we do have the prospect of this,

Speaker 4 quote, vaccine material being shed in the milk. And that, if nothing else, is going to spark consumers.
They're going to want to not take milk from vaccinated cows.

Speaker 4 Likewise, they want to start jabbing all of the beef cattle. And that also, there's a lot of people in the Cattlemen's Association that are really objecting to this.

Speaker 4 Not that necessarily that that's going to be transmissible through the meat, but it's going to make consumers very wary of eating meat that's come from vaccinated animals.

Speaker 4 And by the way, the animals that are getting jabbed are the pigs. It's the factory farm pigs that are getting the RNA vaccines.

Speaker 2 I want to spend more time on this because I think people need to. If you can hang with us, we've got a break.
We're up against the clock here.

Speaker 2 We'll come back and put the wraps on this so people can understand what what you're saying, because I think this is going to play into what people are going to be watching here

Speaker 2 in the days ahead. And he ought to know something about it.
Dr. Robert Malone joins us, and we're back with more after this on the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 Our opinions weighing you down. Call in and let it out:

Speaker 14 888-727-B E-C-K.

Speaker 2 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 15 The new year is a time of reflection on the past year and hope for the year to come. Last year was a turbulent time for Israel and the Jewish people.

Speaker 15 The devastating and ongoing multi-front war, an unprecedented rise in global anti-Semitism, and the loss of many Jewish lives.

Speaker 15 But there has also been an uprising of love and support from you, the listeners, and by the organization, the International International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

Speaker 15 Your support of IFCJ has saved lives and answered prayers. Thanks to the generosity of people in the United States, bomb shelters have been built and placed.

Speaker 15 Life-saving food and emergency supplies have been provided to evacuees and those in critical need.

Speaker 15 And protective gear and medical equipment has been distributed to first responders on the front lines. There is still more work to do.

Speaker 15 Join the movement of those who have raised their voices to support Israel and the Jewish people. We ask you to continue your prayers and ongoing support today by visiting supportifcj.org.

Speaker 15 That's one word, supportifcj.org.

Speaker 2 Yeah, what is

Speaker 2 going on with this bird flu psyop, the latest anyway. Dr.
Robert Malone writes about it at a substack. I want to get a chance to talk about that.

Speaker 2 Not a lot of time here, but how it will affect the food supply is what you were just mentioning, whether it's from the milk and this RNA that will be in the milk, or just the fact that people will be less likely to want to buy these things, milk or beef,

Speaker 2 from cows.

Speaker 2 These are all things that we ought to take a, I guess, closer look at. Doctor, it was just letting you wrap up a point.
It's in the pork already.

Speaker 4 Yeah, so

Speaker 4 Merck markets a vaccine product for pork that's custom.

Speaker 4 The real problem underlying all this is factory farms, where in factory farms you have this really high density of animals and they spread infectious disease and basically infectious disease evolves in these large factory farms.

Speaker 4 And so what Merck has done is they go into the factory farms, they sample the viruses that are circulating and other pathogens, and and then they build a custom mRNA vaccine for those things,

Speaker 4 and then they administer it to all the pigs. Pigs are big enough and high market value enough that it can justify the cost of doing this.

Speaker 4 And it doesn't just have to be a pathogen that is killing the pigs or other animals, but in these the tight margin environments of factory farms, anything that will actually reduce weight gain is a justification for implementing this kind of stuff.

Speaker 4 So, yeah, your factory farm pork is already receiving mRNA vaccines courtesy of Merck.

Speaker 4 What's going to happen with chickens as this spreads through is you're going to have, because of the federal policy, and I don't want to argue that, there's logic to it.

Speaker 4 It may not be the only option, but the logic is that if one of these high-path avian influenza viruses get into

Speaker 4 a bird flock, then they need to call the entire group. And this does result in massive death in the chicken industry.
And that does result in higher prices and reduced availability of chicken.

Speaker 2 Dr. Robert Malone, that's all the time we have.
This is a massive story that we got to continue to follow and dig into. People can find you and follow you all over the Substack.

Speaker 2 Get it, read it, rwmalonemd.com.

Speaker 2 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 2 Oh, oh, oh, stay the straight

Speaker 2 and hold the line.

Speaker 2 It's a

Speaker 2 Welcome to the fusion

Speaker 2 of entertainment

Speaker 2 and enlightenment.

Speaker 2 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 2 Hell, the latest stories, the attack in New Orleans and Trump Tower International in Las Vegas.

Speaker 2 Story after story, the news never stops, and particularly not during a time like this. We're in a very precarious moment.

Speaker 2 But what about not just the crises that are going on, the ones that may come in the days ahead? We can't forget about those, particularly Americans left in the wake of disasters and crises past.

Speaker 2 In fact, we'll talk about one of them that's just getting swept under the rug lately. The folks in North Carolina facing very tough times with weather temperatures dropping.

Speaker 2 There's a very, very cold, frigid range here in the days ahead, and yet they're still suffering and need help.

Speaker 2 Well, check in on them with the latest in our guest next, Justin Barkley, end today for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 3 The older I get, the more I think about trust.

Speaker 3 I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust and the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust. I know we're alike in that way.

Speaker 3 We don't trust a lot of people anymore. It's like we're all Ronald Reagan trusts but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake.

Speaker 3 I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly, and that's why I started RealEstate Agents I Trust.com. I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes.

Speaker 3 So we built Real Estate Agents I Trust to introduce you to one of the thousands of agents all over the country that we work with that we have verified that they will help you have the most successful and good real estate transaction possible.

Speaker 3 Our network agents share our sensibilities, have great track records, are good and decent people, and I trust them to help you with your real estate needs.

Speaker 3 So, whether you're moving across town or across the country, visit realestateagentsitrust.com. The name says it all: realestate agentsitrust.com.

Speaker 2 They are the forgotten in Western North Carolina, folks that are dealing with the aftermath of Helene. We just got new reports that FEMA is announcing they've moved in some real estate here.

Speaker 2 No, it's not more homes for folks who are without them right now in that area that have been so for months now.

Speaker 2 No, it's a lease, a new lease on a massive 117,000 square foot office building in North Carolina to assist with what they're calling disaster relief.

Speaker 2 It comes after, well, just 24 hours after they admitted they only delivered three out of the 26 homes they've promised by Christmas.

Speaker 2 And for anyone taking notes at home, this new office building is 224 miles away from the epicenter in western North Carolina.

Speaker 16 Location can accommodate three times that many. They've leased the entire building for up to three years.

Speaker 16 State Emergency Management Spokesman Brian Haynes says it shows FEMA is here for the long haul, and it will be a long haul.

Speaker 17 I mean, in all honesty, this will be years probably in the making.

Speaker 16 Even though it's been three months since Helene hit, Haynes says there are still more than 5,000 households in transitional housing in hotels and motels.

Speaker 16 FEMA recently extended the deadlines to apply for disaster relief. The state has asked for $25 billion in federal aid.

Speaker 17 There's individual assistance, which goes to help individual households. A lot of it's going to go to public assistance, which is rebuilding communities.

Speaker 17 So all of that infrastructure damage, that kind of stuff, roadways.

Speaker 16 Haines says, FEMA and the state are working closely together, and recovery efforts are making progress, but it's slow.

Speaker 17 It's unfortunate we can't move faster on these things, but

Speaker 17 it's just a lot of work and it's a lot of moving pieces. And we have to kind of work through the process.

Speaker 2 I know that those people that are on the ground there feel that pain. Wanted to get a check in because I don't want these people to be left behind.
I don't want them to be forgotten.

Speaker 2 I know they feel that way in some ways. They're real average people, everyday folks like you and me that are lending a hand.
One of them, Dr.

Speaker 2 Sherry O'Donnell, with a team of folks that has been to North Carolina over and over and over again, the Heartbeat Mission, and wanted to check in on what she's seen on the ground and what they've found and the latest.

Speaker 2 Dr. Sherry, appreciate you taking the time to be here with us today.

Speaker 18 My pleasure, and good morning, and Happy New Year to you.

Speaker 2 So Heartbeat Mission, let's just, you can tell folks what exactly you do. You've been all over the world helping people when disaster strikes, it sounds like.

Speaker 2 And now you've been serving right here in our own backyard in Western North Carolina.

Speaker 18 That's true. Heartbeat Mission is our 501c3 arm that helps fund some of our both international and national relief efforts.
And

Speaker 18 when the hurricane happened in North Carolina, we did respond and we've sent a group of others over three different times now.

Speaker 18 Once the new year begins and kind of we get our feedback on the ground after the holidays, we'll be sending additional people.

Speaker 2 What have you found on the ground so far? I know Glenn's group, Mercury One, have done some fantastic work there along with the folks at

Speaker 2 Franklin's group as well.

Speaker 2 It's been real life, everyday people that have really come together here and lend a hand in tremendous ways. Neighbors helping neighbors, so to speak, here in America.

Speaker 18 Very much the local response and the response of the churches. We can't forget the power of the churches.
That's been a beacon in the community and a beacon in our nation for decades.

Speaker 18 So it really was the common citizens and the churches, as well as the local government that have responded. FEMA was actually, we ran into some of the

Speaker 14 inept at best.

Speaker 18 response from FEMA. I'm glad that they're saying that they're going to be there for the long haul.
I hope they're there for the long haul and do something effective.

Speaker 18 But it was a local response that was responding to people. And the area that we went into is still so decimated that we actually had to take helicopters in because the roadways were still closed.

Speaker 2 You told me a story, speaking of FEMA and the response, and this is something that I know that President Trump is going to be working on at every level of government to make sure that any of the inept

Speaker 2 sort of old way of doing things, the attitudes, whatever it might be, are wiped out.

Speaker 2 But you told me a story about a woman there in North Carolina that you all had approached, and she asked, who are you with? Are you with FEMA?

Speaker 2 Because if so, she didn't have some kind words. But she went on to tell you something that someone from FEMA had said to her that absolutely dropped my jaw.

Speaker 18 I know exactly what you're talking about, Justin. So that was the initial question we would be asked by anybody whose property we approached was, are y'all from FEMA?

Speaker 20 If so, get the blankety blank off my property.

Speaker 18 That's how they responded to FEMA. But one lady, when she realized we were not with FEMA, she cordially invited us in and she said to me that the FEMA agent had asked her if she had enough food.

Speaker 18 And she said, yes, ma'am, I do. I got it from down there at the Best Western because people are coming in.
And she said, well, did you show ID?

Speaker 18 She said, ma'am, almost my whole house is is blown away and washed away I didn't have ID the FEMA agent said you know ma'am I could confiscate your food and that's what we're gonna be doing here and she said no wait a minute these illegal aliens are able to come in and vote without ID but I can't get food she said ma'am I can take I can confiscate your food the lady said ma'am you see that yellow house up there why don't you start right there because you won't go to the second one.

Speaker 18 That there is my house and you won't be going to a second one.

Speaker 18 And then she turned to us and she said in these hills we could lose people real easily but this female agent had literally told her because she did not show id

Speaker 18 to get the food that she could confiscate her food

Speaker 2 i i i can't imagine you you you're threatening to take food away from people

Speaker 2 in such a such a vulnerable moment um it's it's unthinkable and uh there's really only one word that comes to mind and that's evil it's certainly american yeah

Speaker 14 absolutely Absolutely.

Speaker 18 You know, but that's that's literally, Justin, what we were seeing frequently was the very basic needs of these people were not being met except by for the locals.

Speaker 18 You know, there are still, there are better than 200 families that are still without housing. We're working directly with one lady that has three children and she is displaced.

Speaker 18 You know, so we're trying to get these tiny houses built that will house a family of five or six. You know, we're working closely with the churches.

Speaker 18 We're working with Antioch International Church, which is on the border, South Carolina, North Carolina. But the devastation is so far-reaching that

Speaker 18 these people are still without housing. And those that have their power

Speaker 18 restored, it's still so temporary. And then, unfortunately, last Sunday with the most recent storm, some of the temporary bridges are washed out again.
So it's two steps forward and three steps back.

Speaker 18 These people are in dire need.

Speaker 2 So what needs to be done?

Speaker 2 Obviously, we have very, very cold temperatures in just days

Speaker 2 that will be sticking around for a while. We're talking freezing, frigid temperatures, maybe more snow in that area.
And from what I remember saying, a lot of these folks were given tents.

Speaker 2 They were told they couldn't have tiny homes or trailers or RVs in different places. There's all kinds of red tape, even some of it local that they were having to deal with as well.

Speaker 2 But we're talking about dangerous, dangerous, deadly scenario when it comes to the weather here in just days ahead here.

Speaker 18 And Justin, it's not even days ahead. They are mid-storm.
When we left in October, on Sugar Mountain, we had received an inch and a half of snow. And with snow comes the cold temperatures.

Speaker 18 With the snow comes even greater difficulty in passing on the roads. These people need the very basics.
They need housing, safe, warm housing.

Speaker 18 And to say that, you know, they're not allowed some of these sheds, again, red tape and bureaucratic insufficiency. And it's not.
It's not okay.

Speaker 18 Think about being outside now and sleeping outside and doing these things.

Speaker 18 We need to get these people the very basic of what they need.

Speaker 4 That's power.

Speaker 18 That's housing.

Speaker 4 That's food.

Speaker 18 But these people are still, many of them still displaced.

Speaker 2 I can't imagine. I know that Christmas must have been especially tough for a lot of folks.
But there are some good things happening, too.

Speaker 2 I want to talk talk about those and what happens when Americans come together coming up in just a moment.

Speaker 2 More questions, and we'll dig into some of the things that you may not have heard anywhere else. Coming up after this, Dr.
Sherry, if you can hang for a quick, brief break here, Dr.

Speaker 2 Sherry O'Donnell is with me, Justin Barkley, and for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 3 That's legacybox.com/slash records.

Speaker 4 That was the beginning of what has been the longest three months of my life.

Speaker 21 We've been trying so hard to find something, and there's just been nothing.

Speaker 21 I feel like we got forgotten.

Speaker 2 It's a new documentary from folks at Samaritan's Purse.

Speaker 2 And on the ground there, she's been multiple times and headed back soon. Dr.
Sherry O'Donnell, our good friend, she's with Heartbeat Mission. And Dr.
Sherry, telling us some of the things.

Speaker 2 I guess I want to really ask you, and there's some good things happening there, too.

Speaker 2 We'll talk about some of the efforts from volunteers and the people, the real-life Americans that are making a difference there. But can you tell me first

Speaker 2 what is the one thing that people just aren't hearing about what's happened on the ground or is happening on the ground in North Carolina right now?

Speaker 18 That people are still without homes and without food in some places. Now the response by the American people, not FEMA, not the government, was beautiful.

Speaker 18 But that was in the initial inception of and problem.

Speaker 18 But these are long term, these are ongoing situations that we can't forget about these people. So the fact that there are still some without power.

Speaker 18 So we're trying to get some gas and propane portable tanks in there, and not just ones that you can carry but they're actually on trailers that cost about 600 bucks a piece and that'll actually heat up a community for a little bit but Justin you said something I want to be clear I was there once but we're continuing to send teams through Heartbeat Mission and we're working with the local church I may or may not be back but I didn't want the listeners to think that I'd been there multiple times But the needs are ongoing and that's what we've got to remember.

Speaker 18 It's not just a quick fix and it's not going to be a quick fix. So we need all the way from construction people.
We need people that can organize some of the supplies that have come in.

Speaker 18 We need people that will literally just hand carry and bring things to some of the residents. We need some of the side-by-side vehicles to go to places that are not otherwise able to be reached still.

Speaker 18 But I think the big message is we can't forget about it. This is ongoing needs for the people.

Speaker 2 How do you fix this? I know you're on the outside looking in, but how do you fix something like this? There's a story that's circulating locally in there in North Carolina.

Speaker 2 Father of two children in Lee County speaking out again after FEMA called threatening to take his temporary home three days before Christmas.

Speaker 2 They never showed up, rescheduled for New Year's Eve, and then no showed him again. He says it feels like he doesn't exist.

Speaker 22 Lee County Father is not starting off 2025 on a good note. He says, thanks to FEMA.

Speaker 22 I'm senior reporter Emily Young, and I first introduced you to Joshua Dockstadter right before Christmas when he was notified just six days prior that FEMA was taking away the trailer he's lived in since May of 2023 on Christmas Eve.

Speaker 22 And since then, this story has gotten even worse.

Speaker 22 The timeline of this story is a bit confusing, but after that first phone call, Dockstatter took a day off of work to pack up his entire trailer and put every single thing he owns outside.

Speaker 22 He drove his two very young children up north to be with their grandparents so they could actually have a holiday while he stayed back in Lee County and tried to figure out where they were going to go and what they were going to do.

Speaker 22 He took another day off of work to be home when FEMA came to take the trailer, but he says that was a waste of a vacation day because they never came.

Speaker 22 He says FEMA reached out again soon after to tell him they'd be coming on Monday the 30th to pick it up.

Speaker 22 So again, he took a day off, but that was another waste, he says, because again, they never showed. This time, at least canceling mere hours before they were supposed to come.

Speaker 22 As it stands now, FEMA has told Doc Statter to stand by for a new date. So here he sits alone again.

Speaker 2 Lots of folks standing by, whether it's a situation like this or standing by in North Carolina for other things that FEMA has promised.

Speaker 2 Do we just need a total overall in this category here? What needs to happen in order to make sure that we've got the right people in place who are making decisions that I don't know.

Speaker 2 It's just you and I may look at as common sense.

Speaker 18 Unfortunately, Justin, common sense is not too common amongst our federal government right now. So do we need to dismantle FEMA as it is right now? Yes.

Speaker 18 What we experienced firsthand was adversarial with FEMA.

Speaker 18 They stopped us and turned us around when there was no good reason when we were bringing in supplies to a school that had kind of set up as a disposition center.

Speaker 18 We saw people with FEMA that were just plain adversarial. One of the FEMA agents came in and wanted to start hauling the supplies that we had procured and that citizens had given.

Speaker 18 They said, no, no, no, this can't be a here at the hangar. It's like, who are you to come in and say that a private hangar can't make a disposition center for the people?

Speaker 2 I will say this. Not all the news is bad out of North Carolina.
As I mentioned, a lot of it is the people, the real life, everyday folks,

Speaker 2 the Americans, not the government, who are doing the greatest work.

Speaker 2 A father and his eight-year-old daughter have been digging residents out of their homes with excavators for three months, free of charge. Here's what she says she's learned.

Speaker 23 I've been learning that it's best to help people, and you always have to put people first before yourself.

Speaker 24 When I think of Jake and his company, I just feel like crying because what they have done for us is just unbelievable.

Speaker 25 Lydia says the crew has been at her Bat Cave homesite for a week.

Speaker 24 Do you see the line right there?

Speaker 26 That's her septic, completely out.

Speaker 3 We moved the river.

Speaker 25 Jake and his crew also installed a bridge under the water with concrete blocks so Cruz and the family can get across. We asked how he's doing it.

Speaker 2 Donations.

Speaker 26 Donations have topped $100,000.

Speaker 25 Jake matching them with sweat equity, doubling the hours he works with the donations coming in.

Speaker 26 His daughter by his side.

Speaker 25 On Precision's Facebook page, messages like Jake, you'll go down in the history books as a one-man wrecking machine during such rough times.

Speaker 25 Jake, thanking all who've posted and welcoming help and explaining how to send donations.

Speaker 2 That is incredible. And I'll tell you,

Speaker 2 it will be more stories.

Speaker 2 And you will hear over and over again as they come out. But our goal today, just to make sure as we face a lot in the year ahead of us here,

Speaker 2 uh and the crises that are even mounting as we speak not to let some of these other folks who are still uh still suffering and and they're attempting to recover many of them getting back on their feet thanks to the help of people like dr.

Speaker 2 sherry o'donnell uh samaritan's purse heartbeat mission as she just mentioned heartbeatmission.org and mercury one some fantastic folks doing great work

Speaker 2 Coming up, bottom of the hour, she warned us that these attacks will be coming in the new year. The ones that we've seen over the weekend, we'll talk about what she said and what could be ahead.

Speaker 2 After this, Justin Barkley at JustinBarkley.com. Back next on the Glenn Beck program, In for Glenn.
Happy New Year.

Speaker 2 Glenn Beck.

Speaker 8 Judge Napolitano here. The verdict is in.
I've personally seen what goes on in D.C. and we could have some real challenges ahead.
Congress can't stop spending money.

Speaker 8 The Fed can't stop printing money and our national debt is increasing $1 trillion every 100 days. That's a wealth-destroying pace.
Your dollars will buy less, and your retirement could be worth less.

Speaker 8 That's why gold is so important. It helps hedge against wealth destruction.
I did my research, and it led me to gold, and that led me to Lear Capital.

Speaker 8 Over 25 years of experience, thousands of five-star reviews, and a 24-hour risk-free purchase guarantee. I encourage everyone to call Lear for their free $3,200 gold report at 800-927-2400.

Speaker 8 There's no obligation, just free education, and ask how you can qualify for up to $15,000 in bonus gold. Call 800-927-2400.
That's 800-927-2400. 800-927-2400.

Speaker 8 Glenn Beck.

Speaker 12 Avoiding the woke mainstream messaging in favor of truth. More Glenn Beck in a moment.

Speaker 2 She warned of it. She said it was coming.
It was on the way.

Speaker 2 And then it just happened this weekend.

Speaker 12 So wait a minute.

Speaker 2 I just want to clarify. You are 100%

Speaker 2 certain that there are 1,000 plus Al-Qaeda trained fighters within the United States borders.

Speaker 28 Well, Al-Qaeda says they trained and deployed 1,000 for this attack. First off, I think there's more than 1,000 Al-Qaeda members in the United States.

Speaker 28 But for the homeland attack, that number is based on what Al-Qaeda says. So they could exaggerate it.
However, they did have about 1,400 in the Hamas attack.

Speaker 28 So the number is not off from what they did in the first round of attack.

Speaker 2 Sarah Adams on a podcast, the Sean Ryan Show, fantastic show, by the way. Sean does just an amazing job of talking with folks in the know.

Speaker 2 And Sarah is one of those folks,

Speaker 2 former CIA, who is warning about what

Speaker 2 was to come. In fact, it may have already begun.

Speaker 2 We have some of that picture already with the attack that took place in New Orleans the other day. She warns there may be even more on the way yet ahead.
Sarah joins us now on the Glenbeck program.

Speaker 2 Sarah, thank you for taking the time to be here. Is this what you were warning about?

Speaker 20 Yeah, I mean, this is the style I was warning about.

Speaker 20 You know, I'm hearing rumors that the gentleman, at least in New Orleans, did have some sort of contact, you know, with ISIS Khorasan province, which is the branch in Pakistan, Afghanistan, in the last month or two.

Speaker 20 So it's at least along the plot lines that al-Qaeda has been planning.

Speaker 2 Well, let's talk about this guy.

Speaker 2 And actually, there are two attacks. So let's talk about the attack in New Orleans.

Speaker 2 So what we know is that both this individual responsible for this attack in New Orleans and then another attack that took place at Trump International Hotel where a cyber truck, a Tesla cybertruck,

Speaker 2 was essentially set on fire

Speaker 2 with fireworks and gas and all kinds of other things.

Speaker 2 Both perpetrated by apparently men who not only served together in the Army, but at the same time at the same base, I guess back in 2013 or somewhere in those times, they both used this Turo app to rent vehicles, both of them electric trucks, to use both.

Speaker 2 So there's a lot of coincidences in these. And the question, I guess, might be

Speaker 2 more so, what do we know about these guys, what they did, and

Speaker 2 how it maybe ties into some of the things that you've talked about and warned about.

Speaker 20 Yeah, I would look at these two as two separate instances, right? I think the one in New Orleans is your normal international terrorism.

Speaker 20 I think the one in Vegas is likely politically motivated domestic terrorism. Yes, both were at Fort Brague in 2012, but remember that base has over 50,000 personnel on the base.

Speaker 20 That's pretty much the size of CIA. So I stared with a lot of people in 2012 in CIA, right? How many actually sat at a desk next to me? Very few.

Speaker 20 Also, the Turo app is the number one ride sharing app in the United United States, right? So that connection is not that valid when you look at it as the most popular app.

Speaker 20 Also, terrorists are interested in electric vehicles for the fact that they know that fire departments cannot put out the fires in electric vehicles.

Speaker 20 So they're choosing to use them because this is a well-known

Speaker 20 problem with our response. It's very difficult to respond if the vehicle is to catch on fire.
So I would look at them as two different things, but there are some similar modus operandi.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 this is the question about these types of attacks and what attacks may be coming.

Speaker 2 We are in a very precarious moment in time here in this country, and a lot of things have led up to this moment and the weaknesses and the things that we're dealing with now.

Speaker 2 Maybe you can talk about some of those things. But whether they're coming from ISIS or al-Qaeda or even from within, folks have been radicalized politically,

Speaker 2 it just shows us that we

Speaker 2 maybe never before been this vulnerable as we are. What should we take away from that? What should we be doing?

Speaker 20 Yeah, I mean, I think a big piece, especially involving these two, right, is this division within our own country, right? We kind of are becoming our own worst enemy, and that's a problem.

Speaker 20 And then, of course, we have led a lot of terrorists into the country over the last three or four years, which I think will be the bulk of the problems we have in 2025, right?

Speaker 20 So things are compounding. You know, the way we pulled out of Afghanistan has caused damage, if people want to believe it or not, right?

Speaker 20 Both these individuals involved in attacks yesterday were involved in Afghanistan, right? They had duty, tours of duty there.

Speaker 20 So I think there is a point in time now where we take a step back, look at the damage we cause, and figure out how to reverse some of this and then be proactive against the actual terrorist threats as well that are coming forward.

Speaker 2 I know that they postponed the football game yesterday, the Sugar Bowl, and they could do it today.

Speaker 2 But I don't know.

Speaker 2 Part of me, just on the very human side, I tend to want to avoid big crowds and things anyway. That's just me.
But I watch and see these things happening. And

Speaker 2 as vulnerable as we are, my question is now: do I do that? Do I continue to avoid those crowds? What's your advice to the American people? Or do the terrorists win if we do that?

Speaker 2 It's just a weird sort of

Speaker 2 rock in a hard place we find ourselves in.

Speaker 20 Yeah, I mean, I think what really matters is

Speaker 20 you want to go to venues or locations where you really can trust that the security is up to par, they're doing a good job. I mean, remember the Taylor Swift concert over in Vienna.

Speaker 20 The attackers were actually hired as guards for the venue, right? So you also can't trust that some of these big events have the correct security.

Speaker 20 So I think what you really need to do is pay attention, right? Make sure you feel comfortable with it. And if you don't, you might want to choose, you know, to not do that.

Speaker 20 You know, obviously, I know that there is some airline plotting in some of the attacks in 2024. And I may choose not to, you know, take some flights as a result.

Speaker 20 Now, I don't think it's a terrorist win if you make a personal

Speaker 20 decision for your own security, right? I think we need to be alert.

Speaker 20 We need to be aware. We need to prepare.
And as we saw in New Orleans, we need to know how to do first aid so we can help people if there is an incident around us.

Speaker 4 All All right.

Speaker 2 So that's something that I've seen, and I believe is something that I personally want to add to my list of being prepared for things is just being able to take care of people.

Speaker 2 First aid is a great way to do that. And what I might need to do and to look into that.
Maybe you can give us some tips on that, but also,

Speaker 2 you know, just double checking, triple checking, making sure, because in scenarios like in New Orleans, it would have never happened if they would have had the security bollards up.

Speaker 2 And as we were told, they were being repaired or prepared for the Super Bowl or something along those lines. I don't know the full details on this.

Speaker 2 We still got, I'm sure more and more will come out as time goes on.

Speaker 2 But, you know, just when you think, because I think a lot of us have sort of been lulled into that safety and security the last few years of thinking, well, somebody's got that or it's taken care of.

Speaker 2 That may not be the case.

Speaker 20 Yeah, we have become complacent, right? Even think about it. A lot of our law enforcement departments got really good training after 9-11.
But when's the last time they're trained?

Speaker 20 Even like maybe some of their equipment, when's the last time like their gas masks, you know, the filters been changed, like all these basic things, we have gotten lazy and the enemy is going to take advantage of that complacency.

Speaker 20 And obviously, you shouldn't be repairing a barrier and not have it ready for an event like New Year's, right? I mean, this is a huge problem.

Speaker 20 The other thing that you asked about, you know, is first aid. And one thing we like to recommend is stop the bleed because it's very easy to get.

Speaker 20 You can usually call your local fire department and there's usually first forces in your area. So it's a simple program to go through that's super helpful.

Speaker 2 Sarah Adams with this right now and I want to talk, if I can, a little bit more to dig into this threat of what you see coming

Speaker 2 in the days ahead, the reports that you've received and what people should know.

Speaker 2 Obviously, these are tense times, and who knows what's going to happen.

Speaker 2 Up in town, the time that Donald Trump lays his hand on that Bible and is sworn in. It's going to be a very precarious, tumultuous moment in time.
But then we're not completely off-free after that.

Speaker 2 There's going to be a lot of

Speaker 2 from then

Speaker 2 on, there's going to be a lot of time where people are going to, and there are folks that don't want him to succeed, don't want America to succeed.

Speaker 2 And these are things that we all ought to be aware of.

Speaker 2 If you can hang with us, Sarah, I would love to continue the conversation and talk a little bit more about your warning, how folks can hear more about it, and get ready no matter what's coming up ahead.

Speaker 2 Justin Barkley, in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program. Back.

Speaker 29 You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck. Sit tight, boys and girls.
We'll be right back after these messages.

Speaker 15 The new year is a time of reflection on the past year and hope for the year to come.

Speaker 15 Last year was a turbulent time for Israel and the Jewish people, the devastating and ongoing multi-front war, an unprecedented rise in global anti-Semitism, and the loss of many Jewish lives.

Speaker 15 But there has also been an uprising of love and support from you, the listeners, and by the organization, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

Speaker 15 Your support of IFCJ has saved lives and answered prayers. Thanks to the generosity of people in the United States, bomb shelters have been built and placed.

Speaker 15 Life-saving food and emergency supplies have been provided to evacuees and those in critical need.

Speaker 15 And protective gear and medical equipment have been distributed to first responders on the front lines. There is still more work to do.

Speaker 15 Join the movement of those who have raised their voices to support Israel and the Jewish people. We ask you to continue your prayers and ongoing support today by visiting supportifcj.org.

Speaker 15 That's one word: supportifcj.org.

Speaker 2 Sarah Adams is here with us now. She warned against the attacks, said they were coming.
Want to find out a little bit more about that.

Speaker 2 Actually, written about it in the book and talked about it with Sean Ryan.

Speaker 2 Fantastic podcast. Check that out.
Benghazi Know Thy Enemy, a cold case investigation. That's part of the book that she's got out right now.

Speaker 2 Sarah, thank you for taking the time to talk this through with us.

Speaker 2 We don't have a lot of time left, but just tell us, again, the threat is from ISIS and al-Qaeda, and that there were attacks planned for this year.

Speaker 20 Yeah, they basically planned a number of attacks. There'll be a series of lone wolf attacks, which kind of split law enforcement's focus.

Speaker 20 And then there's going to be a large event, swarming, multi-city, mass casualty events.

Speaker 20 And that'll be kind of the culmination of everything.

Speaker 20 The one thing the two groups are focused on this year, that there will be no peace in America. I want to give a quote really quick by Osama bin Laden's son.

Speaker 20 What America and its allies fear the most is that we take the battlefield from Kabul, Baghdad, and Gaza to Washington, London, Paris, and Tel Aviv, and to take it to all the American Jewish and Western interests in the world.

Speaker 20 And all four of those cities I discussed have active and operational plots ongoing right now. So we need to take what they're saying seriously.

Speaker 2 Obviously, the open border hasn't helped with any of this, but you talk about the plots or the attacks and what they might look like. What are some of the

Speaker 2 ideas of what these things might look like?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 20 So they have a number of things planned.

Speaker 20 One is basically suicide bombers.

Speaker 20 They're going to have about 10% of their attackers be suicide bombers. That's something we've really not seen in the United States.

Speaker 20 Another thing is they're planning to bomb airliners again, multiple airliners at once, kind of like the plot that was forwarded in 2006.

Speaker 20 Another thing is, they want

Speaker 20 almost like, I don't know if you would call it like street fights, but they're called Fideian attackers. So attackers in the streets that will fight to the death.

Speaker 20 And then the last kind of piece is they want to bring in a number of the different styles, vehicle rammings, knife attacks, and then vehicle-borne

Speaker 20 explosive devices, right? So they have a lot planned coming forward to us. And they've also invented this thing called the invisible bomb.
They've been talking about it for years.

Speaker 20 They actually did a plot about it several years ago that the Saudis helped us sort, but they've now advanced this invisible bomb into vest form.

Speaker 20 And now they can walk into airports and buildings, et cetera. And you won't even know that they have a vest on.

Speaker 2 So I can imagine to a lot of folks listening to this is terrifying.

Speaker 2 But we can't stick our head under the sand. That's not an effective way to deal with this.
How does America deal with it moving forward, personally in our lives?

Speaker 2 And of course, at the very top, as President Trump has said it on his way in?

Speaker 20 Yeah, I mean, I think we need to be proactive and get our security standards back up to where they used to be post-9-11, right? We've gotten really lax.

Speaker 20 With the invest, for example, going into the airports, if you put everybody through the millimeter wave scanners, it'll thwart the plot. Right now we have it.

Speaker 20 Oh, everybody with pre-chat goes just through the metal detector and then all the people get opted out of the wave scanners. No, like make it mandatory everybody goes through it.

Speaker 20 Like there's things that we've gotten lax on because people have complained about it and it's time we stopped doing that and we tighten back up.

Speaker 2 People are going to be hearing this thinking the same thing, the

Speaker 2 just the audible sigh.

Speaker 2 Where can people stay up to date with you? Because this is a conversation, again, that really it needs to take place over a long period of time and back and forth.

Speaker 2 Where can people stay up to date with you? I know you do some great work online.

Speaker 20 Yeah, so my Twitter is TPA Sarah. We're going to be launching in the next three or four weeks a part of My Network.
And then, if you know, Scott Mann, he ran Task Force Pineapple.

Speaker 20 We're going to be running an initiative called the Gathering Storm. So we're going to start putting out content on that.

Speaker 20 And that's going to give the public kind of a framework of what threats we're seeing coming forward in the year ahead and then how law enforcement, the community, and just everyday individuals can, you know, prepare themselves and get ahead.

Speaker 20 And then over on Instagram, we run a page. It's called A Sorry Media Group, A-S-K-A-R-I Media Group.

Speaker 20 And that's where we actually do a lot of things where we talk about specific components of the plot and how to prepare because a lot of the terrorist groups actually have Instagram banned.

Speaker 20 So it's a better avenue to have some of those discussions with the American public.

Speaker 2 Sarah Adams, former CIA, and of course, you can follow her online at TPA Sarah over on X. Back with more.
Next Dow on the Ledbeck program. Justin Bartley.

Speaker 2 Oh, oh, oh, stay the straight

Speaker 2 and hold the line.

Speaker 2 the home of truth, logic, and common sense has never been more important. In fact, look, if starting to feel overwhelmed, 2025 off to a bang, maybe not the way we'd expected it to be.

Speaker 2 A lot of hope coming into this year, but starting to see a bit of a shadow creeping in. How do we make sure that we keep our heart

Speaker 2 right during these times and what could be ahead? These attacks of the last couple of days and the warnings of more on the horizon.

Speaker 2 We want to talk about that coming up. In fact, I got some good news we want to share with you too on the way.
Don't get discouraged. Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 3 With New Year's resolutions, many of us will vow to eat healthier, and that's a a good thing. But what about your beloved pets and their nutrition? Where's their RFK? Am I right?

Speaker 3 Well, naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black is actually their RFK.

Speaker 3 He's on a mission to provide better nutrition for cats and dogs because truthfully, it's what we're feeding our pets most of it is not good, and we're not feeding them what they need, which is why he created rough greens and meow greens.

Speaker 3 Bring your pets' dead food back to life with live vitamins, minerals, probiotics, enzymes, omega oils, antioxidants, and so much more. It's tasty to the dogs and the cats.

Speaker 2 Well, the news,

Speaker 2 it never stops. And the news of the last few days,

Speaker 2 well,

Speaker 2 it's really tough to deal with some of this stuff, especially now we just got this breaking story in.

Speaker 2 CNN now reporting the driver of the cyber truck and the explosion there at Trump Hotel in Las Vegas was an active duty Green Beret.

Speaker 2 This is incredible.

Speaker 30 Haley has confirmed in just the last few minutes that he is an active duty U.S. Special Forces soldier assigned to 10th Special Forces Group, according to four U.S.
officials.

Speaker 30 That he holds the rank of Master Sergeant, a senior enlisted rank, these officials said.

Speaker 30 Three officials said he was on active duty serving in Germany and he was on leave when this happened on New Year's Day.

Speaker 30 He has not been identified publicly, and authorities are still trying to work out whether this this was a terrorist attack.

Speaker 30 Now just to recap a little bit of what happened behind us just 24 hours ago approximately there are still police presence here around the valet area of where you pull into the Trump International Hotel just off of the Vegas Strip.

Speaker 30 This cyber truck that he allegedly rented was rented from Colorado from the Turo rental platform. Authorities say that he drove it here to Las Vegas by 730 a.m.

Speaker 30 on New Year's Day, that he drove up and down the strip, and then about an hour before the explosion, drove past the Trump Hotel as well.

Speaker 30 And police did make note that the damage was really limited because of the body construction of this Tesla Cybertruck.

Speaker 2 Okay, so a lot to take in there.

Speaker 2 But this man was an active duty Green Barrett Special Force.

Speaker 2 This is, you know, these are heavy, heavy stories. This is heavy news.
And I wanted to, initially,

Speaker 2 when I invited our next guest, and I wanted to talk in a little more positive note about what is to come, but I still think we can do that.

Speaker 2 Looking back in the history of this nation, I will tell you, I see, even in some of the chaos of the storm that's swirling around us right now, I see some bright, shining moments, some glimpses of glory, and maybe even miracles.

Speaker 2 A great example is that truck there,

Speaker 2 that attack, that explosion looks like, at least appears,

Speaker 2 the attempt

Speaker 2 was meant to do much more damage than it did.

Speaker 2 There was a signal, a political signal probably being sent by

Speaker 2 doing this at the Trump tower in a cyber truck from Elon Musk and Tesla.

Speaker 2 That same cyber truck may have, in fact,

Speaker 2 as you just heard, the CNN

Speaker 2 reporter mentioned, may have actually

Speaker 2 dampened the damage.

Speaker 2 William Federer is with us right now. Bill is a nationally known speaker, best-selling author, host, American Minute Radio Futures, and Faith in History TV program, Ayers Daly.

Speaker 2 He joins us now.

Speaker 2 And Bill, thank you for taking the time to be here with us today.

Speaker 14 Well, hey, Justin, great to be with you.

Speaker 2 I wanted to initially talk to you about really the direction the country is headed in, the election, and of course, looking forward to the new year with a little more of a positive spin.

Speaker 2 I really still want to stay in that zone, but I want to really lean into this news of the last few days because it does appear we've got some dark

Speaker 2 days ahead in some ways, but we've been through. much of this.

Speaker 2 If we do look back, faith in history, if we look back in the history of our country, we've been through much of these dark days already, and we've come out on the other end.

Speaker 2 That's a bit of encouragement, I guess, I could use. Maybe you can walk us through what that may look like in the year ahead.

Speaker 14 Yeah, well, you know, a couple of years ago, I did a show with Charlie Kirk, and he said,

Speaker 14 what do you consider the biggest threat to America? And I said, critical race theory in the military. And he got quiet for a second.
He's like, oh, that's not what I had on the top of my head.

Speaker 14 But what we've been doing since really Obama, but Biden, is anybody with traditional American values was being forced out of the military.

Speaker 14 And they began to bring in all the LGBTQ

Speaker 14 and now the

Speaker 14 non-legacy enrollments of the old-fashioned where the granddad served and the dad served and the son wants to serve.

Speaker 14 But the DEI, the critical race theory, has been used to allow in to the military people that don't hold the same values that we do. And I was with Frank Affney

Speaker 14 not too long ago, and he was saying that he's concerned about mainland China. And there's a program in the military where non-citizens are recruited into the U.S.
military. I said, say that again?

Speaker 14 He goes, yes, yes. Non-citizens are recruited into the U.S.
military to help them become citizens, to help them become citizens.

Speaker 14 And he said, yeah, in Southern California, there's actually an Army recruitment center run by Chinese speaking mainland Chinese, recruiting Chinese that are not citizens into our U.S. military.

Speaker 14 And he said, now we have

Speaker 14 across America

Speaker 14 people serving that are not holding the same values that we traditionally had. And then jihadis, beginning with Obama, we see a whole lot of people with jihadi.

Speaker 14 Remember the Fort Hood, Texas, and there's an Army

Speaker 14 person that starts killing all the other Americans, and then they go to the bend over backwards to say, well, we're trying to figure out he had psychological problems it's like they don't want to identify it's the programming we have hardware problems we have software problems it's a software problem there's a mind virus to use Elon Musk's term and and so we we need to identify this this mind virus and and purge it and realize that we should only have people in the military that want to preserve the traditional American values which backdoors us into the concept of what is a traditional American value and none other than Eisenhower right?

Speaker 14 He's the supreme allied commander during World War II.

Speaker 14 And he said this, recognition of the supreme being is the first, the most basic expression of Americanism.

Speaker 14 So if we're going to boil down to just the most basic common denominator in America, it's we all believe in God.

Speaker 14 And now this is a God of the Bible. Why do I say that? Because it's the only God that believes everyone's created equal.

Speaker 14 The other ones, if you're

Speaker 14 Islamist, if you're a faithful Muslim, you're worth more than an infidel.

Speaker 14 In a Hindu caste system, if you're a Brahmin, you're worth more than a Dalits untouchable in the lowest caste.

Speaker 14 If you hold an atheistic religion, and yes, that is defined, atheism is defined as a religion by the Supreme Court. In socialist countries, your worth is dependent on your utility to the state.

Speaker 14 Where only the Judeo-Christian belief system is that you have worth because you're made in the image of God, period.

Speaker 14 Whether you you contribute or not, whether you're in some class or caste system or not, you're made in the image of God.

Speaker 14 And according to Eisenhower, this is the most basic common denominator, the basic expression of Americanism. We need to return back to what identifies us as a nation, and that's it.

Speaker 2 So let's talk about those things. And do you think, because this last year, I think,

Speaker 2 boy, I never thought I'd see something. I thought if we,

Speaker 2 as much as we've heard it, if we humble ourselves and,

Speaker 2 you know,

Speaker 2 it happened. If we turn to God, turn away from our wicked ways and repent and all of those things that he would hear from us.
And here we are, I think we've been given a chance.

Speaker 2 It's not over, but we've certainly been given a chance. We saw miracles happen last year.

Speaker 2 The fact that President Trump survived that

Speaker 2 attempt on us, with both attempts on us lives,

Speaker 2 it's just incredible to see what we've gone through there is some hope i i just uh

Speaker 2 i don't know that folks realize that the the fight has just begun bill

Speaker 14 right i'm you know i speak a lot around the country i speak a lot in churches and i tell people you know if we get through this problem there'll be another one if we get there if we get through that problem there'll be another one it's sort of like the human condition and i sort of zoom out and i says well it's sort of god has plan a and plan b plan a is he blesses us we turn to him out of gratefulness.

Speaker 14 If that does not work, there's plan B.

Speaker 14 It says he gives us over to our own devices. And then when things get bad, we turn to him out of desperation.
The goal is to have us turn to him.

Speaker 14 But when you look at American history, my wife and I put together a series of books called Miracles, called Miracles in American History.

Speaker 14 During the colonial times, when they would have a a famine, they would declare a day of fasting, and then a ship would pull into the harbor and they would say, cancel that.

Speaker 14 We're going to have a day of Thanksgiving. But it was this idea that God responds to our prayers.

Speaker 14 There was a cholera epidemic in 1849. 150,000 Americans died of cholera.
And President Zachary Taylor in 1849 declares a national day of humiliation, fasting, and prayer to Almighty God.

Speaker 14 By the end of the month, the death rates drop off. You had a threatened war with France, and President John Adams had a day of fasting and prayer.

Speaker 14 You had James Madison. When the British burnt the White House during the War of 1812.
James Madison had a day of fasting and prayer.

Speaker 14 You had Lincoln had two days of fasting and prayer during the Civil War. Even Woodrow Wilson had a day of fasting and prayer when we entered World War I.

Speaker 14 And you had Roosevelt passing out Gideon's New Testament and Book of Psalms to all the soldiers in World War I.

Speaker 14 You had President Harry S. Truman making the National Day of Prayer an annual event.
And Reagan made it the first Thursday in May. We've always been a country that, in times of crisis, we turn to God.

Speaker 14 And I think we need to respond. And I think we have been responding.
And I totally agree with you. It was a miracle that Trump was not assassinated.

Speaker 14 I believe it was a miracle from my point of view on Election Day that he won the popular vote and won so resoundingly

Speaker 14 when the psychological operation of the mainstream media was in full gear trying to

Speaker 14 cover up all the

Speaker 14 things that were being done on the other side that you know from cocaine in the White House to all these other disorders that sort of get pushed aside.

Speaker 14 They were doing their best to do their spin, but with this overwhelming response with a Trump victory, to me, I think that was a part of God answering our prayers.

Speaker 14 Personally, I think the church involvement is critical.

Speaker 14 I think the concept of, oh,

Speaker 14 our kingdom's not of this world and we're not going to get involved.

Speaker 14 And I wrote a book called Silence Equals Consent, where the same way you're silent at a wedding ceremony, you're giving consent to the wedding vows. Well, guess what?

Speaker 14 If church members are silent when there's evils going on in the community, they're giving their consent. And if you give consent, you're an accessory and you'll share in the judgment.

Speaker 14 And I think this idea of, oh, we're spiritual, we don't get involved, that's being stripped away. You're not being spiritual.
You're giving your consent to all that evil.

Speaker 14 And churches are beginning to wake up. And I think that's critical to the future of our country.

Speaker 2 You're getting into a little bit, I think, at least the direction that we need to head next.

Speaker 2 And I want to do this as Bill Federer joins us right now with the latest and of course response to this attack, of course.

Speaker 2 What may be ahead in 2025 and beyond for this country and how we should prepare ourselves and the country.

Speaker 2 And I think maybe the question I want to ask you next, Bill, is how do we guard our hearts around all these the news reports that may come out if we are indeed in for a fight and some maybe dark days ahead, as we've seen the last few days with these attacks.

Speaker 2 What do we do to make sure that we are preparing ourselves individually and spiritually for those things as well? Because again, I think, look, we need to know what's going on.

Speaker 2 Don't stick your head in the sand.

Speaker 2 But at the same time, we got to make sure that we're walking forward, I think, with a little hope, with some faith, encouragement, make sure we're on the right track. How do we do that?

Speaker 2 We'll take a quick break and be back with Bill after this on the Glenn Beck program. Justin Barkley back next.

Speaker 3 The older I get, the more I think about trust.

Speaker 3 I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust and the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust. I know we're alike in that way.

Speaker 3 We don't trust a lot of people anymore. It's like we're all Ronald Reagan trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake.

Speaker 3 I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly, and that's why I started realestate agentsitrust.com. I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes.

Speaker 3 So we built Real Estate Agents I Trust to introduce you to one of the thousands of agents all over the country that we work with that we have verified that they will help you have the most successful and good real estate transaction possible.

Speaker 3 Our network agents share our sensibilities, have great track records, are good and decent people, and I trust them to help you with your real estate needs.

Speaker 3 So whether you're moving across town or across the country, visit realestateagentsitrust.com. The name says it all, realestateagentsitrust.com.

Speaker 2 Back with Bill Federer, and the question is this.

Speaker 2 Bill, how do we guard our hearts? How do we make sure we prepare ourselves and that we're doing all the right things if we do face a fight? in the dark days that may possibly be ahead.

Speaker 2 How do we make sure that we get through this as a country, but also, you know, as a dad, you know, and my family, how do I guide them through it all?

Speaker 14 Well, I'm reminded of Isaiah 6, 8. It says, Here I am, Lord, send me.
In other words, the goal is not to tiptoe through life without having to face problems.

Speaker 14 One of the stories we love best.

Speaker 14 In the Bible, it's Moses, an 80-year-old man standing up to the most powerful military leader, the Pharaoh, and his

Speaker 14 chariots,

Speaker 14 David against Goliath, or Gideon

Speaker 14 with 300 against 100,000 Midianites. I mean, we love the stories of when things look hopeless and God raises up little nobodies with faith and courage.

Speaker 14 You know, Esther, whether I die, I die, I'm going to go in and see the king.

Speaker 14 These are the stories we remember. And guess what? This is just our turn.

Speaker 14 And so this is a time for people to realize that we are called to let God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven, heaven, that we want him to use us.

Speaker 14 And,

Speaker 14 you know,

Speaker 14 so the battle is for the

Speaker 14 mental attitude, the spiritual attitude.

Speaker 14 And I think that when we realize that you were born for such a time as this, that out of all of recorded history, the good Lord decided for, you know, you that's listening to be alive right now.

Speaker 14 And so what's his plan for you? Is it just,

Speaker 14 you know,

Speaker 14 every now and then my my wife flips channels and we were watching one where it was, you know,

Speaker 14 people buying little places in the Bahamas. And we're like, oh, that's a cool place.
That's a cool place.

Speaker 14 And I thought, you know, if we lived there, I'd probably, you know, sit out there and look at the waves for, you know, a couple days.

Speaker 14 And after a week or two, I'd, you know, ride a bike around the whole little island. And, you know, but after like a month or two, I'd be like, I'm going crazy.

Speaker 14 I need to be part of the fight. There's something on the inside of me, especially in men anyway, where little boys want to play

Speaker 14 sports. They want to play army men.
They want to compete.

Speaker 14 And I'm one of 11 kids. I have five brothers and five sisters.

Speaker 14 And if there wasn't anything to fight about, we'd make something to fight about. And then we'd play afterwards.
But it's like there's something that just

Speaker 14 and I think we just get to be a part of this big fight with eternal consequences. And

Speaker 14 so the battle is over our attitude.

Speaker 14 And I think we can do it. And I think Trump is amazing.
I can't, I'm 67, but here's somebody that's older than I am, and he's got unbounding energy. And

Speaker 14 he has to, they make him pay $450 million and some fine that everybody knows was lawfare and made up.

Speaker 14 How does somebody do that and keep bouncing back every day? But I think he's stirring that attitude up, not just in America, but around the world.

Speaker 14 And so one person can make a difference, and we're called to be each one of us, one of those people.

Speaker 2 Bill Federer is the author and the radio host speaker that you're hearing right now. You can find more, Bill Federer, over on X and AmericanMinute.com.

Speaker 2 Bill, thank you for taking the time to be here with us. And some, I think, great reminders of the hope and encouragement and perspective.

Speaker 2 Look, if you're in the fight and you're meant to be here right now, it's something that we ought to get excited about.

Speaker 14 Yeah, I totally agree. You know, one other thing is Department of Education was started by Jimmy Carter.
We know Jimmy because he gave away the Panama Canal and gave Iran to the Ayatollah.

Speaker 14 But the Department of Education has been focusing on behavior modification, social-emotional learning,

Speaker 14 more or less brainwashing.

Speaker 14 And we need to get back to teaching the truth. And so the battle is who gets to load the software in the next generation's brains.
And it's our job to put good, godly values onto those kids' minds.

Speaker 2 Such an important conversation and one. Unfortunately, we don't have time to get through all the facets of it today.
But Bill will do more of that in the books that he's written.

Speaker 2 And of course, AmericanMeta.com, you can find those online at X as well at Bill Federer. Thank you, Bill.
We appreciate you, and God bless.

Speaker 14 God bless you.

JustinBarkley.com, all over social media, at Mr. Justin Barkley.

Speaker 2 Joining us now from the state where I reside in Michigan, not too far from where I am in West Michigan, comes a story about a little town ship that could, in fact, an entire county now, that stood up against a Chinese communist-linked battery plant, a company called Goshen.

Speaker 2 And boy, the state government, the federal government, and all the folks who really band together, public and private partnerships, in order to push this thing through.

Speaker 2 But the people of Macosta County, the people of Green Charter Township, they've all stood up and said no

Speaker 2 to the CCP influence. China.
No

Speaker 2 to the folks out of

Speaker 2 Lansing. China.
Yeah, but China too. And

Speaker 2 D.C. as well.
China.

Speaker 2 No, the people who want to tell them what's going to happen in their own backyard. And note of the corruption that was occurring in their own backyard.

Speaker 2 It's an incredible story, one that still isn't over yet, but took another

Speaker 2 big turn today as we're joined with the new chair of the Maca

Speaker 2 County Commission, Chris Zimmerman, with us now. Chris, thanks for taking the time to be here with us today.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 19 My pleasure. Yeah.
Chris from West Michigan.

Speaker 2 You know, it's funny, Chris, because

Speaker 2 I know you.

Speaker 2 People may or may not know, but I know this guy, and I know a lot of the people in the fight here.

Speaker 2 And I am so thrilled to see what has come out of this thing because it's just real people.

Speaker 2 The conversation we had previously, this hour, Bill Federer was talking about what it takes for real people to get involved and get into the fight, whatever that fight may look like.

Speaker 2 Chris, you're a guy who listened to the Glenbeck program, listened to talk radio, and now you're on as a guest because you've made news, because you've actually gotten into the fight and scored a pretty decisive victory today.

Speaker 4 Yes, I did. And thankfully, the voters of Locosta County

Speaker 4 voted me in last August against a 20-year incumbent. And, you know, back in April, when I agreed to throw my hat in the ring, it was over this issue of ocean.
And

Speaker 4 like a lot of consumers, a lot of independent thinkers, you know, when the government, be it just the size of our little, you know, 40,000-person county in West Michigan, when the leaders there kind of thumb their noses at the will of the people and say,

Speaker 4 you're going to take this battery plant whether you like it or not, I just, that arrogance, that hubris just didn't sit well with me. And so I decided to get off to the sidelines and get involved.

Speaker 2 So you ran, you were elected as a Macosta County Commissioner along with a host of other folks this time around.

Speaker 2 And today, your first meeting, you're elected as the board chair there. So tell us what passed today, because there was a resolution,

Speaker 2 something big that took place.

Speaker 2 Correct.

Speaker 2 The score is we have seven county commissioners.

Speaker 4 My area is two townships. And

Speaker 4 I, like I said, I ran on this anti-ghosting theme and it worked. Today, at my very first meeting, I was elected as the board chairman.

Speaker 4 So four of the seven commissioners were replaced last August and November. And all four of us are anti-Gaussian.
So all four of us, we stuck together. I was elected as chairman.

Speaker 4 And this resolution we passed is actually exhumed from what the local GOP had put together several months, maybe a year ago. They said this is this is the resolution that we want.

Speaker 4 We don't want Goshen, we don't want any part of Goshen, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 4 So I exhumed that from the dead files and brought it up again and I had one of the clerks read the actual resolution out loud so the folks in the gallery could hear what was taking place.

Speaker 4 And

Speaker 4 one of the three commissioners who was in favor of it kind of,

Speaker 4 well,

Speaker 4 he had objections to it, and I said, well, you wanted to postpone it. And I said, well,

Speaker 4 you know, you've had two years or a year or 18 months, whatever, to postpone things to look into it. Why didn't you do it? He said, well, he didn't have an answer.
And

Speaker 4 then he came back with, well, we weren't aware of

Speaker 4 the public's

Speaker 4 sentiment on this issue. I said, come on.

Speaker 4 I've been to these meetings, tons and tons and tons of public outcry over this project. And let's take a vote.
And so we took a vote and this resolution to wash our hands of Goshen passed.

Speaker 4 Five for five for the resolution and two against.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 what happens next? What happens now, Chris, now that you've passed this resolution with the county?

Speaker 4 Well, you know, in a lot of ways, it was just a symbolic kind of

Speaker 4 resolution. There's no actual teeth to it.
The county didn't put up any money towards it that I'm aware of. And

Speaker 4 who knows what's going to come next? There are some lawsuits going on between Goshen and the old township that's making their way through the courts.

Speaker 4 But I have a hunch after January 20th when 47.5 gets in,

Speaker 4 I think this is all going to go away because this whole project was born from the Inflation Explosion Act of Joe Biden's funnels and lances of the Democrats. So, yeah,

Speaker 4 I have a hunch that it's all going to go away eventually.

Speaker 2 Chris Zimmerman is the chair of the Maca County Board of Commissioners in Michigan.

Speaker 2 That little county there that was fighting against that Chinese Communist Party-linked battery plant, Goshen, that was kind of forced on the citizens of that area.

Speaker 2 And in a big fight, in a major way, has made another massive step, symbolic or not, another massive step today

Speaker 2 to kick that thing to the curb. Chris, let me ask you: advice for people that are listening? Maybe they're like you, they find themselves in a fight,

Speaker 2 and

Speaker 2 if they don't know, say, what do I do here?

Speaker 2 I want to get involved. Should I?

Speaker 2 What would you recommend to people? What has it been like for you, at least your experience so far?

Speaker 18 You know, I moved to Maca County from one county east

Speaker 4 in 2019, and I'm proved I'm an insurance guy, an agent, and we do well when we're involved.

Speaker 4 And I would encourage your listeners, someone who wants to get involved,

Speaker 4 to get involved with the local GOP.

Speaker 14 You know, attend the meetings, see what it's all about.

Speaker 4 You'll find folks there who are just like you. That certainly has been my experience.
I've met so many wonderful people who have like-minded

Speaker 4 goals for the country, what's right and wrong, and get active. You don't have to write big checks to get involved with the local GOP.
You meet some dignitaries along the way.

Speaker 4 You may have a state senator, state representative visit your meetings, and you can certainly bend their ears, but just get involved. And it's fun to have things on your schedule and

Speaker 4 go to these events. And whatever your talents are.

Speaker 4 I happen to be a writer, too, so I've written columns for the paper regarding this cause with anti-gauchen and so on. So, you know, but I can't fix them.

Speaker 4 I'm not very mechanical. So whatever your gifts are, we're all born with special guests, as my mom used to say.

Speaker 2 So get involved.

Speaker 4 Whatever your gifts are, bring them to the table. Get involved.
Meet new people. Make new friends.
It's a

Speaker 4 great way to meet folks. And it'll soothe that urge you have to be a great American.

Speaker 2 Get into the fight. Great advice and maybe a resolution for somebody listening for the new year.
Chris Zimmerman, thank you so much for taking the time and thank you for all you've done in the fight.

Speaker 2 We appreciate you. Okay, Johnson, take care.
You too. God bless.
Chris, chair now of the Maca County Board of Commissioners. Fantastic story.
One I've been following.

Speaker 2 And by the way, if you want to get deep into the weeds on this, because this company is not just in Michigan, it's actually, they've done a couple of places, of sites that they've tried to expand this in and trying to pull the same sort of scheme.

Speaker 2 So Illinois is another one of those states. And in fact,

Speaker 2 these folks have banded together with some of these other folks. You want to find out more about this story, how it's been covered, and how folks have been able to fight back.

Speaker 2 There's a blog slash news organization that's done a great job called the Midwesterner. TheMidwesterner.news has been in the fight ever since the beginning on this.

Speaker 2 And I know Glenn has covered this story extensively as well at different times.

Speaker 2 And it's fantastic news for these folks, but I think not just folks there in that tiny township and that county there in West Michigan, but also for folks throughout the country.

Speaker 2 Because these things,

Speaker 2 these things, they add up and they make a big, big difference. And you can too.
All right, back with more after this.

Speaker 2 Back on the Glenn Begg program. Justin Barkley in for Glenn today.

Speaker 2 And maybe

Speaker 2 some good news.

Speaker 2 At least before we get out of here. You know, you've heard a couple of stories here this hour.
Some dark news.

Speaker 2 We're still starting to get details about both attacks out of Las Vegas and the attack in New Orleans,

Speaker 2 the aftermath of which you're still digging through right now, still starting to get some details about this stuff, or we will through the next couple of days.

Speaker 2 They've got right now press conference that's going on in New Orleans. There'll be more details coming out about that

Speaker 2 in the days ahead. The FBI just conducted a call with the House and Senate Homeland Security Committees.
Three big takeaways,

Speaker 2 amongst some of those, some Fox News.

Speaker 30 Hopsney is live on Capitol Hill with the very latest.

Speaker 24 Hi there, Aisha.

Speaker 31 Hi, Julie.

Speaker 31 We're just getting getting some new information from this FBI phone call that was ongoing with House and Senate members of the Homeland Security Committees, as well as the Louisiana delegation.

Speaker 31 And I can tell you that something that they've learned, this is according to sources that were on this call that just told Fox News, that something that they just learned was that apparently the FBI is claiming that they had no intelligence on Jabbar before this attack.

Speaker 31 They had zero intelligence on him.

Speaker 2 Well, I don't don't know that I admit that.

Speaker 2 Usually we get the whole he was on our radar thing.

Speaker 2 But in this case, I don't know which is worse.

Speaker 2 Jabbar was inspired by ISIS, they say, but not directed by them.

Speaker 2 There was zero intel, as you just heard. And they now believe he acted alone.
So I don't know how much of this even you can believe. What about Vegas? Was that just a coincidence?

Speaker 2 So you tell me both of these men were in the Army, one of them, active Green Beret,

Speaker 2 the man responsible for the explosion at Trump Tower,

Speaker 2 active duty.

Speaker 2 They both were in together at Fort Bragg.

Speaker 2 They both used the same Turo rental car

Speaker 2 company, APTA,

Speaker 2 to

Speaker 2 rent the vehicles that were used in the attacks.

Speaker 2 This is important stuff. I mean, this is,

Speaker 2 I just, I have a hard time putting, you know, when we say Kuwait, it's just a coincidence. I have a hard time putting

Speaker 2 these pieces together, looking at this picture and saying, I don't know. These are the same people in the beginning that told us this wasn't a terrorist attack

Speaker 2 in New Orleans.

Speaker 2 So as the days go on, we're going to get more and more information. In fact, that press conference looks like some of it, some characters that are emerging and might get a little interesting.

Speaker 2 It's a story that will be followed, but there is more and more to be followed in the days ahead as well. This is a treat for you tomorrow.

Speaker 2 Steve Dace is going to be in, and he'll be talking about, of course, that speaker election that's set to take place in the House. Whether Mike Johnson will be re-elected or not,

Speaker 2 I'm sure that'll be top of topic and conversation for you.

Speaker 2 More good news, new year's eve in fact this kind of gets overshadowed by what else took place on new year's eve but here it is whitney cummings

Speaker 2 comedian on uh cnn right in front of anderson cooper saying some of the funniest stuff i've ever heard on cnn 2024 election fried our brains the democrats couldn't hold a primary because they were too busy holding a body upright

Speaker 27 Are we still rolling? Am I off?

Speaker 4 Go for it.

Speaker 27 It was amazing that the pro-choice party didn't give their voters one when it came to the presidential candidate.

Speaker 27 Kamal was forced on us so hard, you'd think she was patented by Pfizer or Moderna, whichever one's, oh, God. Andy just gave me a very scary look.

Speaker 4 No!

Speaker 27 I love going around the country because you see that Americans really are more reasonable than they would be portrayed.

Speaker 2 Absolutely.

Speaker 4 They're pretty great.

Speaker 27 And I'm playing bigger and bigger venues now. I thought being a mom would mean that less people will want to come see me.

Speaker 27 I'm not playing, you know, like 3,000-seat theaters, which is about the viewership of CNN these days.

Speaker 2 We're not. On this show, guys.
We're all live on this show.

Speaker 2 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 That is hilarious. And the fact she was able to say it and did it on CNN.
There's more about the Hunter Biden laptop, too.

Speaker 27 This is a documentary's finally realized the only way to make money is to just make them about cheerleaders.

Speaker 27 The Dallas Cowboys cheerleader doc showed the girls being treated horribly, underpaid, crying. I thought I'd open a video on Hunter Biden's laptop.

Speaker 4 This is the year everyone hated the movie The Joker, but if you do love watching men descending.

Speaker 2 You know, Anderson just looking looking at her sideways, kind of, I don't think he wanted his face to show on the camera. Fantastic.
If you haven't seen that, look for the links.

Speaker 2 I put that up in my stack today at JustinBarkley.com. That's it for me.
By the way, I'd love to stay in touch with you. JustinBarkley.com or at Mr.Justin Barkley on all the social media networks.

Speaker 2 Don't go anywhere. Let's stay connected.
Bling Beck program back tomorrow is feed days. God bless.
