It's a new day, I tell you right.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

The news never stops, not even on a holiday week.

Now it just keeps going and going.

A lot of times these days, it's like drinking from a fire hose.

We got big stories from the weekend.

President Trump at AmericanFest along with Glenn Beck and of course Trump making big waves and some big stories.

He wants it back.

We'll tell you what asset he'd like to seize and the country he'd like to take all together and why it's all a part of the glorious year

and four still yet to come.

All the news you need to hear.

You will not get anywhere else.

Justin Barkley and Forbeck today on the Glenn Beck program back after this.

What is the best gift this holiday season?

How about years or even decades off your appearance?

Because every day people look at your face and your jawline and hopefully it's not as negative an experience as it is when people look at my face.

But I will say, if you use Genucelle Jawline Treatment with Jewel Peptide and MDL technology, they're going to like what they see.

GenuCell's most advanced technology ever can tighten saggy jawline and plump the layers of your skin to contour and define the jawline and neck area within minutes.

People go overseas.

They spend thousands of dollars to get rid of a sagging jawline or double chin.

Why do that when you can try Genucell first?

And with Genucell's Immediate Effects, you will see tightening in minutes and the results get better every day.

Just in time for the Christmas and holiday season, save over 70% off Genucell's complete skincare package, featuring the jawline treatment and Genucelle immediate effects.

You'll even get Genucelle XV Wrinkle Treatment included for Christmas.

And as a special holiday gift, every package order includes a bonus beauty box with two skincare bestsellers and free priority shipping.

It's genucelle.com/slash back.

G-E-N-U-C-E-L.com/slash back.

He wants it back.

The left is exploding already.

I can hear it happening.

And so are folks online with the story.

Trump wants the Panama Canal back.

Folks, this is a big one.

We're going to talk about that.

And Greenland.

Well, we've heard the Greenland before.

We've heard that story.

But

he wants the Panama Canal back.

And this is, like I said, folks are already kind of losing it online about this.

The story is

pretty,

yeah, it's pretty, it's pretty good with the day.

I got to tell you, I'm excited

about the prospect of the next four years and how people may, in fact, hear these stories and then just melt down.

I get a little bit of joy out of that.

I don't know.

We've had four years of chaos, insanity.

The country being on the brink in just days now, a little less than 30 until we take it all back.

Well,

this is very much so like the 51st state comment.

Now,

I was asked, I was interviewed by a Canadian program about this

story.

And does Trump really want to make Canada the 51st state?

And, you know, as you can imagine, it's a...

Yeah,

it's an interest.

It's a story of interest for a lot of folks, and especially if you're Canadians.

Now,

I mean, really, if you're conservative Canadians like these folks happen to be, I actually think a lot more Canadians are conservative.

Their government, I don't think, reflects them.

I think they're in a very similar boat as we've been over the last few years.

Anyway, it's Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program and a very much so needed Christmas break.

Glenn finally taking a little bit of rest.

He was at what's called AmericaFest, AmFest over the weekend, Charlie Kirk's outfit turning point, having this huge celebration in Arizona.

Lots of speakers, many you would definitely know the names for.

Many of them speaking and, again, having, I think, just a massive party in celebration in some ways for the victory

that

took place in November, the miracle that took place in November.

Glenn spoke about that.

In fact, his comments making news as well.

Glenn has actually come out and endorsed

some folks

for some lofty positions.

A little bit later on, you'll get to hear what that sounds like.

And a bit of his comments from this weekend, President Trump as well, and some of the other big stories, too.

But just a little bit about me.

I'm from Michigan.

I have a radio show in Grand Rapids in Detroit, and I absolutely love it.

It's an honor every time I I get a chance to fill in for Glenn.

And I will just tell you, when I first started doing this, this time of year,

it was,

well, it was a little different.

Everything was a little quiet.

Silent night really was.

This time of year, when people are the hustle and bustle, you're out doing your shopping or last-minute preparation.

You're just with family and you're

I you've really kind of turned everything because the news cycle, everybody went home in Washington and everything everything just sort of shut down.

Now, to a certain extent, some of that still does happen.

But the stories,

I don't know if you've noticed this too, but they continue to just spiral out of control.

And some of that,

I might say, is by design.

In fact, Glenn talked about that this weekend.

I guess coming up in the program will lay it out as he's done so so already in a book, but it is a manufactured

crisis, I believe.

A lot of the things that we're continuing to see

by design, either incompetence or

it was done on purpose.

And I don't know which one's more evil, to be honest with you.

So we talk about that today.

Some of the stories that are just, I might just give you a couple and then we'll dig into some of these.

But yeah, Trump wants the Panama Canal back.

And he'd like to get Granlin.

People are melting down over these stories.

We've got the CR that passed

the shutdown avoided.

We'll do that a little bit later on.

But over the weekend, there were a couple of big stories that

made me sort of,

I don't know about you, but

I just, I look at what's going on in the world, I go, I just can't,

this is, I can't imagine.

So let me just give you some headlines.

First and foremost is the story out of New York City.

Heinous,

evil.

Illy, I think the only way to describe what happened

on that subway car in New York City over the weekend.

In fact,

the headlines that are coming out and the way it's being covered may be the only thing that makes this even worse.

A woman was set on fire.

She was set on fire.

And by the way, this language is important.

It matters.

She was set on fire by a man here in the country illegally.

She slept

quietly on the subway train.

And as she slept,

he schemed.

We don't know the full specifics of whether she

had lighter fluid thrown on her or something

worse, but either a lighter or a match,

something along those lines was tossed onto this woman as she slept,

and

she woke woke up in flames.

What makes this even worse is the way it's been covered.

I don't know if you've seen the press on this,

but

it's very similar to the way that they have covered other stories in this story.

The press

is writing this as though she's just

essentially spontaneously combusted.

She just caught fire.

There's really no other explanation or reason for it.

Forget that another human being has thrown a match or lighter onto her.

Forget that that man should have never been here in the country.

You can't talk about the individual perpetrating the crime.

Because then we have to talk about that individual, who they are, why they're here, and of course the politics of all of that, which they just just don't want you touching.

Again,

it's what the media is best at.

It is lying by

omission, and they do it all the time.

It is, in fact, a reason,

mostly for their demise.

It's the reason why I think most people have tuned out.

CNN, MSDNC, the rest of them, they've stopped listening, they've stopped watching.

They've stopped reading the newspapers.

These people are for hire.

They are hired guns.

They are prostitutes, many of them in the mainstream.

They're not interested in the facts.

They're not interested in the truth.

They're only interested in power.

And they are now starting to really reap

that they have sown here.

In fact, there's another story, and these headlines, as I mentioned, are just nuts, but there's another story in

Germany that's very similar to this.

Listen to this headline: Car rams into crowded Christmas market in Germany.

Was it a car that did this?

Or was it the man behind the wheel, a car,

that was responsible?

The multiple deaths, 80 plus injured.

The last report I saw, this two killed.

This is the Telegraph here reporting it.

Car

plowed into crowd.

There's a man behind the wheel.

Who is that man?

Well, police have arrested, buried deep in the article, you'll find, a 50-year-old suspect who is a doctor from Saudi Arabia, lived in Germany since 2006.

And there's multiple reports about who he is and sort of conflicting about what actually happened.

But unfortunately, as I mentioned, the news never stops.

It's like drinking from a firehose.

These stories that you're hearing, part of a crisis or a number of crises that we're facing.

And are they being manufactured?

In fact,

story after story.

some of the worst, some of the weirdest, some of the wildest stuff that you've ever heard in the last days alone.

And it's enough over and over again, the drumbeat of this to desensitize you.

You know, some of the worst, most terrific stories.

Now, I saw this video of this woman,

and I'm telling you, it is tough to watch, but

I just can't imagine

the individual who does this.

He's seated on a bench inside that subway terminal as he watches her.

The woman who was on fire standing

in the door of the subway train.

There were other onlookers, bystanders who didn't jump in, who didn't help.

Eventually, police show up, and I guess the fire's put out, but she didn't survive.

From what I understand, I just

horrific story.

It's absolutely evil.

There's no other way to describe this.

And we don't get here without a border being wide open.

We don't get here without Daniel Penny being arrested.

And of course, you know, Democrats, those on the left, the Soros DA,

charging the man who stepped in, Daniel Penny at the time in New York City to help save folks on a subway train.

We don't get here if we don't make the innocent the victim the criminals criminals and then the criminals the victims.

That's what we've seen, a steady dose, a diet of that for the past four years and beyond.

And that's why things are the way that they are.

But there really is just one word to describe it.

It's evil.

But there's some good news, too, and we'll talk about that because people are on to this.

In fact, I believe evil

is in the

last dying gasp right now

as we march in the next 30 days or so until President Trump gets in office and is able to get things back on track.

The people have spoken and they're no longer willing to put up with any of this anymore.

So there are some good news stories that we'll cover today as well.

And make sure you get a balance of those because I want you to know the truth.

And usually that's the good, the bad, and the ugly.

It's a full picture of it all.

So you have a context to

really know what's going on

no matter what.

So stand by for the latest and of course even more on this.

Trump wanting the Panama Canal back.

He wants Greenland.

We're going to talk about that today.

I think some other stories that'll amaze you and surprise you.

And yes, we'll even talk to the man who wrote the book, Manufactured Crisis, coming up here in just a little bit, because I think it describes what we're seeing play out all in front of our faces almost every day now in the news and why it matters.

It's all coming up this morning, the Glenbach program, Justin Barkley, back after this.

If you're scrambling to think of a good present for your loved ones, give them what I gave my family last year, the peace of mind with a Burna less lethal launcher, or tree yourself with the Burna launcher.

You can be confident that you and your family are prepared to defend against any potential threats.

Plus, it's easy to use and legal to use for anybody over 18.

The Burna Launcher, safe, effective defense solution equipped with powerful non-lethal deterrents, including tear gas and kinetic rounds, with a 60-foot range capable of stopping an attacker in their tracks.

And even if you have a firearm at home, start with less lethal because you don't want to deal with the legal or mental burden of using a firearm.

So why choose Burna?

Because protecting your loved ones should never be a compromise.

It's legal in all 50 states, requires no background checks or permits, and can be shipped directly to your door.

That's why Burna is trusted by over 500 government agencies, police departments, and private security firms.

This is your last chance to buy before the holiday.

Visit Amazon to make sure it's delivered on time.

That's BYRNA BURNA.

So he never was supposed to be here, and you never would have known if the New York Post hadn't dug into this, you know, if the Biden administration would have gotten the old

nod and a wink, and Kamala Harris,

I know this is hard to imagine, but can you picture Kamala Harris

as the 47th president of the United States?

Supposedly, Biden's 46th right now, but we really don't know who is at the helm.

We have some idea on that, but can you imagine?

Well, you'd never hear about this.

They wanted to shut down as much of the free speech, as much of the press as they could.

Glenn talked about that in his speech from America Fest.

In fact, a little bit later on, you're going to hear the

You'll hear

the highlights from that speech over the weekend.

But here's the account.

I'm going to just run through what happened for you on that train, the subway train.

Police arresting a Guatemalan migrant.

They say a woman on fire.

He said a woman on fire who burned to death on the subway train in Brooklyn, New York that city, Sunday morning, 7.30 a.m.

Police say he was identified

by a civilian as he rode on train at 34th Street in Manhattan, according to the New York Post.

The witness waved down the police, according to the report.

They later picked up the suspect, detained him, though they have not yet charged him with the crime.

Police say it happened at the Stillwell Avenue subway station in Coney Island.

The woman was sleeping on the stationary train, according to Fox.

Video posted online appears to show the woman engulfed by flames while standing in the train.

It is some of the most horrifying stuff.

And again,

I don't necessarily recommend you go out and watch this.

I think this stuff takes a little piece of our soul every time we watch things like this, every time we're confronted with things like this.

People just walking by the guy who did this, sitting on the street, all on the bench, almost like he's sitting watching a bonfire.

Evil exists in the world, folks.

And the only way to confront it is to courage individuals who are willing to stand up.

But I don't necessarily blame some of these folks

in New York who had no idea what to do.

I mean, you stand up, you fight back, you'll get the Daniel Penny treatment.

That's the world we were headed in.

That's the direction we were headed in.

Kamala Harris

would have won.

But a little dose of divine intervention.

A massive miracle, really.

Millimeters

in a lot of ways.

President Trump dodged that bullet.

We as a nation, I think maybe even the world dodged one, too.

And in fact, a little bit about that.

Glenn talks about an America Fest.

You'll hear some of the audio from the president as well coming up

this morning.

But after we get done with the break here, bottom of the hour, got to give you a chance to hear from the man who wrote the book, Manufactured Crisis.

I heard a buddy of mine talk about this, these stories.

You know, the drones over New Jersey,

the guy that killed the CEO of United Healthcare, and all these stories that we hear on a daily basis, and he coined a new term for this.

I'll run this past.

Our friend Jim Simpson coming up after the bottom of the hour break and get his take on what is happening, the weaponized news

these days and how to handle it we're back with more

in for Glenn and today on the Glenn Beck program it's Justin Barkley we're back right after this

Glenn back.

Miss the show.

Listen anytime, anywhere podcasts are found.

Stick around.

More after the break.

Yeah, this other story too that we haven't even began to scratch the surface on here is Biden

commuting the death sentences of 37 of 40 MHz, trying to get, while he can, get out,

get some of these things done.

And the way he writes about this in the statement is

wild.

He almost says,

you know, I can't trust the next administration

to continue to thumb their nose at the law like I have.

So

I've got to do this while I can.

The statement is, well, I will tell you who's on that list and who's not

coming up on the Glendeck program today.

Justin Barkley, In for Glenn, I'm everywhere.

At Mr.JustinBarklay and justinbarkley.com.

Few could have imagined 10 years ago where we'd be in America today.

We are confronted on all sides by interminable crises that threaten the very fabric of our nation.

From a border flooded with millions of migrants from all over the world, to a fentanyl crisis killing more American youths every year than the past three wars combined.

Radical transgender activism and other cultural insanity has pushed more youths to commit suicide than at any other time in history.

It seems as though the world is rapidly coming unglued, but it is actually a diabolical plan that has been operating for over 100 years and is now showing its face.

Get the new book, Manufactured Crisis, by James Simpson, that describes this plan in excruciating detail and shows us a path out if we're willing to take it.

James Simpson here with us right now.

Jim, thank you so much for taking the time to be here with us.

And

as we talk today, I'll just note that the arraignment is happening in New York of Luigi Mangionio and the man that

killed in cold blood

the CEO of United Healthcare, that assassination that took place a couple weeks back.

Thanks, Jim, for being here with us today.

Interesting timing, for sure.

Yeah.

Hey, Justin.

Great to be with you.

Yeah, no, that's the Chinese curse.

May you have interesting times.

You certainly do have interesting times these days.

You know, it's what we, it's never a dull moment.

I mentioned it's the top of the show, and every time I fill in now, it's like, you know, I tend to, they call me when it's time for Glenn to take a break and nobody else can do it.

And it's the holidays, and I loved it.

It's an honor to be here with this audience.

But it used to be, Jim, that we started doing this program.

We were talking about, oh, what were the biggest stories and trends of the year?

What was the word of the year?

You know, all of these kind of,

you know, funny sort of fluff like end of the year sort of things.

But now we have hard news all the way up to 1159.59 on New Year's Eve.

I mean, every day there's something new and multiple things a day.

And as you mentioned, may you live in interesting times.

My question, though, is your book, and you made the point: manufacturing crisis:

are these interesting times by design?

Oh, yeah, oh, very much so.

Very much so.

I mean,

there's the occasional accidental crisis that nobody could have anticipated.

Perhaps the

Charlotte,

perhaps the Hurricane Helene falls into that category.

But

everything that this administration does every single day is

just designed to create more chaos

and make things difficult, even now, for the incoming President.

I mean, Biden just the other day decided, oh, well, I think I'm going to give Iran another $10 billion,

another $10 billion.

But why would the Democrats want to give Iran anything, right?

But, no,

they felt it was important to

give Iran still more money so that they could continue apace with their development of the bomb.

And

who on earth in their right mind would want to give that to the Iranian mullahs?

Nobody on our side, that's for sure.

And the ones that do it f for the Democrats, I mean, the only way you can logically

o the only conclusion you can logically draw

is that these people are working for the other side.

I mean, that's the only logical conclusion.

There may be illogical conclusions to make, but that's the only logical one.

They are literally working for the other side.

And Joe Biden, Biden,

of all people, has been doing that openly for his entire political career.

Jim Simpson here with us right now.

He wrote the book, Manufactured Crisis, and that little piece that talks about your book we just played

mentions that this is a plan that's been in action for the past 100 years.

So, Jim, walk us through that.

What is this plan and how is it being played out right now as we speak?

Well, I mean, I think that

this year's election

is a good demonstration of how

the crisis strategy that they have been following

has become so

obvious

that people were finally motivated to do something about it.

I mean, you know, this stuff has been going on under the radar for decades, and I've written about it for decades.

But

what has happened over the last four years is just something

even

a person with most determined head in the sand

can't ignore because they're literally wrecking the country.

And the trouble is that that is the agenda that Karl Marx laid out in the Communist Manifesto written in eighteen forty eight.

They've been following that agenda ever since.

They want to destroy what they call capitalism and the United States as the primary target.

And the trouble with that is,

they're killing the goose that laid the golden egg.

So there's really not

a logical reason for this to do this, except that they believe that they will be able to seize absolute power and hold on to it, and they frankly don't care what happens to the rest of us.

So, you know, it's interesting, Jim, you say communist, and I hear that word commie, and I think to myself, that's a bad word.

But

the day,

the same word, it doesn't have the same

power or weight that it used to, a lot of that because of the indoctrination of young people.

And it's not just a word.

I just talked to you at the open of this segment here, and Luigi Mangioni is facing arraignment in New York City.

He's the man who killed in cold blood the CEO of United Healthcare.

Listen to this stat.

You've probably heard this staggering statistic.

41% of young voters say United Healthcare CEO killing acceptable, according to a poll.

To me, and to watch the way the man's been celebrated on social media,

this to me is a very,

very chilling time.

I don't know if you can say enough.

While I certainly share, I'm sure with a lot of people, the concerns and the criticisms of this healthcare system.

I realize why we're here.

A lot of this is because of Barack Obama, again,

the manufactured crisis.

We'll talk a little bit more about that.

But the chilling situation that 41% of young voters saying that this is okay, that murdering somebody is okay.

Yeah, no,

it is pretty discouraging.

But, you know, I will say honestly

that

in the 60s, in the early 70s, the culture of the 60s, the youth culture of the 60s, was not that much different.

And what we have today

is the youth culture of the sixties has grown up and taken places in media, in business, in education, in Hollywood.

And

they brought that they portaged that thick culture along with them

into the present and have indoctrinated our kids to follow that same thick logic.

And

it's really just more of the same, frankly.

It's more of the same.

When I was a kid, you know,

we weren't

chanting in the streets,

you know, death to Netanyahu, but we were

chanting similar things in the street.

It really wasn't that different.

And once again, who were the leaders of that

cultural revolution?

They were the red diaper babies, the communist children of 1950s communist parents who

were able to get away with it because they rejected membership in the Communist Party, but did not at all reject the ideology.

Jim Simpson with us right now.

He's written the book Manufactured Crisis.

I want to ask you,

we've got to take a quick break here, but if you can hang with us here, I'd like to ask you on the other side

what the solution is.

We may have seen some of it already play out here, obviously, with the landslide election events in November.

But

what is the solution?

How do we get the country back on track?

What are the things that need to happen happen as you see it when we come back after this on the Glenbeck program?

Jim Simpson will be right back with us.

Don't go anywhere.

Justin Barkley and for Glenn Beck today on the Glenn Beck program.

So we like to talk

about what's going on.

Make sure that you know and you're up to speed on everything.

Don't want you living in the dark.

But we also

want to make sure that we've got solutions to it all because otherwise leaving you kind of in the lurch there, not a good thing at all.

The Fibian does more damage than the other way.

James Simpson, with us right now, the book's called Manufactured Crisis.

We're talking about all the news that we're seeing that day at edge delivered to us.

I want to ask you what the solution is.

But first, I'll tell you this coin.

A friend of mine, James, has charmed in some of these stories.

Now, I don't necessarily think they're all distractions.

People will a lot of times tell me that this story is a distraction, that one is.

And I say, well, I don't know.

I think you have to pay attention to them all, but you've definitely got to be able to weigh them all out.

And it's a tough, it's a full-time job doing this.

But a friend of mine is now called some of the stuff that we're seeing every day distractance.

It's like a weaponized form of distraction.

And I think what an interesting term.

What do you think about that?

I guess that's one way to put it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But they are very malevolent distractants.

They're distractants.

You know, okay, so we put the ball under this cup and then move the cups around.

And then, in the meantime,

what are they doing behind the scenes while we're all focusing on the cups?

You know,

that huge spending bill is a good example of that.

Because

while we have all been just

shocked and outraged by the stuff that Biden

does every day, for example,

felling off

the

portions of the border wall that they just left to sit and rust for four years.

Now they're selling off portions of it for $5

in a bidding

in an auction, starting at $5

per piece.

I mean, you know, this kind of stuff is just outrageous.

But then in the meantime, while we're all focused on that, they tried to pass this omnibus spending bill, which unfortunately, you has become the way they fund the government pretty much for

about a decade now.

They've dispensed with the regular appropriations process, which is how it's supposed to work, where each of the spending bills for each of the various agencies and departments gets considered separately and

it goes through both houses before

a final spending bill is passed in Congress and sent to the President.

Now they

Jim, I hate to

bring we're going to hit a hard break here, so I've got 30 seconds.

Give me a thumbnail of what we do to solve and to understand what we're up against.

Well, we just essentially have to

follow President Trump in everything that he's doing, we have to get our state legislatures to pass the kind of laws that will allow this change to become more permanent.

Specifically, we have to get better voter ID laws, including, you know, voter ID, and then numerous other things that are already in the works.

They're starting to happen, but they need to happen throughout our country much more extensively and very quickly.

Several big stories in the news recently on this.

Hacking into our telecom,

the routers that are a problem, the semiconductor industry with the investigation into some of those issues there, the

concerns over the Chinese-made drones and one Chinese national trying to actually fly a drone over a military base, amongst others.

To talk about these programs and more, he oversees as the chair of the committee, looking into all things, China.

Our good friend from the state of Michigan, our Congressman John Molinar, taking the time to be here with us today.

Congressman, thank you so much for taking the time to be here with us.

We appreciate it.

Well, thanks for having me, Justin.

Good to be with you.

So the...

This is a story that we've been following, and I know you are really focused on.

In Michigan, it goes back to the Chinese Communist Party-linked battery plant, the Goshen plant up north in Maca County.

Folks have been fighting residents that issue, whether it's national security concerns, environmental issues, or just the fact they don't like that the governor here took Michigan taxpayer money, gave it to the CCP, basically, and said, buy up our farmland.

All of these issues have

really became, I think, hot and right smack dab in the middle of the radar for a lot of folks.

And

you've been right in the focus and the fight on this for a while now, and I know you continue to do that.

Well, you know, Chinese firms own nearly 400,000 acres of U.S.

farmland.

Our committee passed a bill to get out, get our agriculture secretary a seat at the table to ban these transactions.

And that's something I'm looking forward to the Trump administration working with us on as we go forward.

But you're right, we need to cut off the taxpayer support for these Chinese-based companies that are affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party and

partner with the Chinese military and sometimes choose slave labor.

And we need to wake up to this fact.

And the American people don't support giving our taxpayer dollars to fund the CCP.

You know, as we talk about the threat, and I don't think people really understand maybe fully what we're facing, I just get a, a, I'm going to read through a couple of headlines here and we'll see if we can maybe put them together.

We've seen the last week or so,

really,

this drone story come to a point here

where folks are wondering, there's things flying in the air in New Jersey and there are all kinds of questions about what they are.

And we hear drones.

And I don't know if

you've got any light to shed on that subject.

You've been a part of any briefings or anything you could share with us.

Are they ours?

Are they theirs?

A question about

they belong to little green men.

I'm not sure.

I think everything's on the table nowadays, unfortunately.

But let me just throw in along with this another,

I think, troubling, maybe concerning headline as well.

This just came out.

The New York Post.

Drones spotted near at least 17 military bases located next to Chinese-owned land in the United States.

Very concerning.

And let's not forget that much of the danger that's posed by these CCP drones is occurring in the open right in front of our eyes.

The CCP-controlled Chinese drone manufacturer DJI dominates about 80% of the U.S.

commercial market.

And these drones are used by hobbyists, by government agencies.

And they pose a daily threat to our national security.

And this year in our National Defense Authorization Act that we just passed, we begin the process of phasing them out of American airspace.

So whether it's overt or covert, we need to end the CCP drone espionage on American soil.

You know, and again, this gives an advantage, I think, for

the CCP in ways that people don't really think about and the real threat as to what that might be.

We're in a new age of warfare.

We may not necessarily see the same sort of bombs and tanks and everything that we're used to through the years.

A lot of it might be, well, it might be cyber warfare.

Matter of fact, here's Secretary Majorkis,

not a man of large stature, but I trust him about as far as I can throw him.

I take this, though, seriously, when he says that the Chinese are a threat and they have been caught hacking.

China has, in fact, hacked into our telecommunications providers, some of them.

And the extent of it is quite serious.

And I should say that in response to that, we have taken action.

We in the federal government have stood up a unified coordination group, a multi-agency response to this hack.

Just today, our cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency published mobile communications best practices that everyone should read, especially people in positions of of responsibility in the United States government.

It's a very sophisticated hack.

I can't speak publicly to how it occurred, but the telecom providers are focused intensely on it, and they are working in partnership with us to remediate it.

How long has this been going on?

Months?

It is not

an overnight hack.

This is a very sophisticated one.

And it's still going on.

And it is still going on.

So that

troubling is it, look, this has been going on for a long time.

Number one.

Number two,

it's ongoing, which means we still have issues with being told whether we can talk on this phone, text on that phone, or what we can and should be saying to each other.

And that's one thing.

But to know that they've also been engaged in trying to hack into

the phones of people on the Trump campaign, that's a whole nother issue.

Now we're now down a completely different road.

These are major problems.

They sure are.

And this area of cybersecurity, what he's saying about best practices and

focusing on cybersecurity is important, but we also have to recognize that China is directed by the Chinese Communist Party.

They are very aggressive in targeting and hacking U.S.

telecom systems.

And as you pointed out, at the highest levels of our government as well as the campaigns, and we don't want them listening in on our phone calls and having access to our communications, and we need to hit back.

Quite frankly, there need to be consequences for the CCP.

And that's where we need to take next steps.

You know, when it came to the spy balloon, you know, President Biden, you know, let

float across the country and then finally shot it down once it had, you know, been able to traverse the entire country.

We need to be aggressive

and have consequences immediately for this kind of activity.

You just mentioned the Chinese spy balloon.

Are the drones

Chinese?

That was one question, and I don't know that you have any information specifically on this, but we saw that

uh

just the other day house uh foreign affairs committee chair uh mccall wan in on this talking about those drones and he said he believed they were maybe changing one answer is what the response that i'm getting is that we don't know uh whose drones these are uh i was with the uh nasa administrator bill nelson he said that these drones have been reported over military sites military bases um i would not think those are friendly I would think those are adversarial.

And

in fact,

NASA seems to be picking up more

than our military is on with respect to the drones.

So I think it's we're gonna, Congress is gonna pursue this.

I know the House Intelligence Committee is having a hearing on this.

We need to identify

who is behind these drones.

My judgment, based on my experience, is that those that are over our military sites are adversarial and most likely are coming from the People's Republic of China.

So

that itself is

really fascinating to me.

There's a couple of things in here.

I'm blown away that we're told that we kind of don't know who they are, but we do know who they are.

That's the kind of multiple different lines we're hearing from different folks.

In fact, the White House Biden says,

we kind of do, but we're told it's not a big deal.

This is the same guy.

To your point, you just made Congressman John Molimar with us right now.

They allowed that Chinese spy balloon to fly over the entire country.

Just leisurely let it fly over.

Then finally, when it wasn't over the country, they shot it down.

Finally,

I don't know who we can trust.

And I'll tell you, I know I'm not the only one that is

counting down the hours till the Trump administration takes hold and the adults are back in the room.

Yeah.

Well, you're absolutely right.

We need to get to the bottom of it and give the answers to the American people because,

you know, we have seen drone activity near key military bases around the country.

In fact, there's a prosecution that's going on with a Chinese national at this time.

We don't know at this, as I'm speaking to you right now,

whether this activity is directed by some kind of foreign power.

But as I said earlier, you know, DJI, the Chinese CCP-controlled drone manufacturer, dominates 80% of the U.S.

commercial market.

So even if these drones are being flown,

you know, by hobbyists or others,

there may be Chinese capabilities in those drones.

And that's the concern that we have.

And we need to be vigilant in protecting our homeland.

And quite frankly, the American people deserve an explanation from the President and from the Homeland Security Advisor.

There's hardware and software concerns, and Congressman John Mulliner with us.

In fact, I want to ask you about a couple of those because

there's some talk about some bands out there.

In fact, one of the bands with TikTok,

that issue headed to the Supreme Court here shortly, want to talk about those.

And can you hang on the phone just for a moment?

We'll be back with this and give an answer to what needs to be done when it comes to making sure that we're watching technology with hardware or software.

And we are all aware of the threat from the CCP.

Back after this on the Glenn Beck program.

He serves as the chair of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the U.S.

and the CCP.

Congressman John Mullinar with us today talking at China and those threats.

We were just talking about the drones and

the issues, whether it's hardware or software.

We got multiple different angles to look at.

Congressman, I saw that there was a note.

Obviously, we're talking about

TikTok and the bands there, but there's a note here that

TP Link, which is a, I guess, a router, allows folks to get access to the internet broadband and things like that.

But it's one of these major companies and they do a lot of

smart sort of internet of everything type devices.

But this is a Chinese-made router, the TP-Link, that there is a concern, a consideration now on bands and technology, whether it's hardware or software.

What are you all looking at?

Well, we're doing a number of things.

We're looking at wherever China has infrastructure,

technology infrastructure, whether it's Huawei technology or others that are in this sphere.

Often they're dual use technologies, and they are used for the purposes of espionage.

They're used for military applications.

And we need to lessen our dependence on these Chinese technologies.

You mentioned TikTok.

You know, we have a process in place right now where President Trump has an opportunity to negotiate an American takeover of TikTok so that it wouldn't be affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party, but rather

safeguard the data, the personal security of Americans, as well as not allowing people to be influenced by the CCP's algorithms within that app.

And so my hope is that we can continue on all these fronts, whether it's social media or hardware,

that we protect the American people from nefarious Chinese Communist Party influences.

And it's kind of a tough line to walk.

There are some people that have First Amendment issues.

They have First Amendment considerations when it comes to some of these things.

But at the same time, we've got to make sure that

we are...

you know, making sure that we're doing everything that needs to be done to protect the country.

So it's a fine line to walk when it comes to these things.

Who would you like to see take over?

I mean, is there anybody out there?

Is it an American company or is it Americans in general?

Elon Musk and Twitter and X has played a big role.

And President Trump actually has spoken out quite favorably in TikTok in recent days because he feels like it helped him win the campaign, win the election.

Sure.

Well, it's a very successful and profitable app, and I think there would be a number of buyers who would be interested in doing that and could do it in such a way that it didn't present national security threats.

And,

you know, to me, ByteDance, who is the parent company that is affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party, in fact,

the CCP actually appoints a board member to

Byte Dance.

And

they have to come to the conclusion that they're going to follow American law and divest

TikTok and sell TikTok.

And I think you'd find that there will be buyers in place.

We will be able to protect Americans' data.

And also that, you know, we won't be

subjecting young people, teenagers, to the influences of the Chinese Communist Party.

You know, TikTok does not allow in China the same kinds of

activity that they allow in the United States.

And so

it is a very,

we want to have a reciprocal relationship with China so that we protect our interests.

At the same time, they're going to try and protect their interests.

Congressman John Molinar with us right now on the hardware line.

And this is something that I've heard a lot about.

And I think it's a very

it's it's it's a tough one because if it's if this is true, it means a lot that we're going to have to really take a closer closer look at.

And that's Chinese

technology inside the infrastructure, power grids,

things like that here in America.

How close are we looking at things along those lines?

We are looking very closely at this.

You know, there have been major hacks by

CCP-affiliated entities,

they call it SALT Typhoon, Bolt Typhoon.

And some of those hacks have involved major infrastructure.

And

it's almost like having a sleeper cell where they can flip a switch and affect the infrastructure.

You think of our water supply or our energy grid, some of these key areas that we depend upon.

And that's something we need to be very vigilant on.

One area that we uncovered as a committee was a Chinese firm that makes more than 70% of the cranes in our ports.

We found that there was

a modem, a cellular modem on these cranes that could monitor the activities going in and out of ports.

That was not part of the requisition for those cranes.

That was added by this Chinese company, ZPMC.

And they make 70% of the cranes in our ports.

So we need to be very vigilant with our infrastructure in order to protect against this threat from the Chinese Communist Party.

That's Congressman John Molinar.

Congressman, thank you for taking the time.

We are up against it.

A hard break here.

But we appreciate you and, of course, staying vigilant in these important times.

Back with more.

If you're scrambling to think of a good present for your loved ones, give them what I gave my family last year, the peace of mind with a Burna less lethal launcher.

Or tree yourself with the Burna launcher.

You can be confident that you and your family are prepared to defend against any potential threats.

Plus, it's easy to use and legal to use for anybody over 18.

The Burna Launcher, safe, effective defense solution equipped with powerful non-lethal deterrents, including tear gas and kinetic rounds, with a 60-foot range capable of stopping an attacker in their tracks.

And even if you have a firearm at home, start with less lethal because you don't want to deal with the legal or mental burden of using a firearm.

So why choose Burna?

Because protecting your loved ones should never be a compromise.

It's legal in all 50 states, requires no background checks or permits, and can be shipped directly to your door.

That's why Burna is trusted by over 500 government agencies, police departments, and private security firms.

This is your last chance to buy before the holiday.

Visit Amazon to make sure it's delivered on time.

That's BYRNA Burna.

Glenn back.

Miss this show.

Listen anytime, anywhere podcasts are found.

Stick around more after the break.

Justin Barkley in today for the Glenn Beck program and Glenn on a very,

well, needed and well-deserved Christmas vacation.

It's Christmas time.

But you know, it's not going to stop Biden from getting some of the things done that he wants to get done.

By the way,

are we digging into some of these

death row commutations that he's done?

And they're horrific.

Some of these people that he's let off the hook are horrific.

I'm going to get to some of these coming up here a little bit later on in the hour.

But first, Panama Canal.

President Trump wants to take it back, and

this is causing causing quite a stir already on social media.

Leftists are freaking out, and

I think we're going to see a lot of that in the coming year and beyond in this administration, because

this is how the sausage.

I'm going to take you behind the scenes to see how the sausage is made in some of these cases.

Well, lately, particularly, right?

It really is.

It's the art of the deal.

And in fact, we've seen some of this up close and personal in real time

in the last week or so.

So we've seen what?

Canada, the 51st state,

we saw that happen.

He's having dinner at Mar-a-Lago.

And, you know, you saw Prime Minister Justin Castro Trudeau

fly down to kiss the ring.

Now, I didn't know this, but this is kind of just interesting inside information.

Somebody told me that apparently he didn't stay at Mar-a-Lago.

Now, I don't know if that's because everything was booked there, and obviously it's a very busy time.

And we're thinking, well, maybe Trump's got a guest room or something and you no no no he had to stay somewhere else which is

just kind of telling I think in itself a Canadian told me that hey I heard that story and I thought isn't that fascinating

so he makes the joke you know Justin things aren't so good right now

in Canada

But it's okay, you know, the terrorists and everything that they wanted to get done at 25%.

You take care of our border and you know what?

I'll make you the 51st state, and you could be the governor.

It's kind of a joke, and he tells it, and it goes over.

And he sees that play well, and then that becomes a whole meme.

So much so, now to the point that Trudeau may have to step down

as prime minister.

They've been talking about this in the last week or so in Canada.

Now, I don't know whether that happens or not, but the government is

a bit, it's a bit in shambles right now.

It's a bit discombobulated.

These are things that are happening as we speak.

This is the Trump effect, and it's kind of already playing out.

Seeing Mexico want to come to the table and play ball now with border

as well.

And you're seeing Putin say that he wants to wrap things up there in Ukraine.

We're seeing the Hamas and

some of the other issues in the Middle East come to the table and say, we're done.

We want to wrap this up.

Which is interesting.

Again, the Trump effect.

But we caught it this weekend in real time with this Panama Canal thing.

I want you to hear this because you're going to actually hear in this clip from America Fest, Charlie Kirk and the Turning Point folks put this massive event on.

Glenn was there.

In fact, we got some of Glenn's speech coming up as well.

Fantastic stuff.

But President Trump spoke for a lengthy amount of time and some of the things he said making massiveness.

In fact, this was where the Panama Canal thing came from.

As another example of the things we're doing and looking at,

it's such a terrible thing that's happening.

The Panama Canal is considered a vital national asset for the United States of America due to its critical role,

American economy, the whole world economy, and also national security.

The Panama Canal.

Has anyone ever heard of the Panama Canal?

Because we're being ripped off at the Panama Canal like we're being ripped off everywhere else.

A secure, he just said, take it back.

That's a good idea.

Do you hear this?

Listen to what he's doing.

He's probing the audience.

The Panama Canal, national security, the Panama Canal, and of course, the economy, and it's important for the world.

And now,

do you know what the Panama Canal is?

It's a younger audience.

So

he's trying to see, do you know, does my audience understand what I'm talking about here?

How much further in-depth do I need to get into to talk about why it's so important?

And really,

right now, what's happening in that area with China and

what we face,

the national security concerns and threats there.

So he's talking about, and then a member of the audience yells, take it back.

So, if you don't know, we essentially gave the Panama Canal away for a dollar.

Jimmy Carter did this.

He'll talk about the history of it here in just a little bit, but

it's really interesting to hear.

He said, One of the biggest mistakes he ever made,

Jimmy Carter, another failed Democrat one-term president,

speaking of which,

listen to the guy yell, take it back.

Trump says, I like that idea.

Lipped off everywhere else.

A secure.

He just said, take it back.

That's a good idea.

Where do you come from, sir?

He doesn't come from Panama.

Oh,

yeah, good.

A secure Panama Canal is crucial for U.S.

commerce and rapid deployment of the Navy.

See, he's going back and forth here between actually reading the prepared remarks versus riffing and just doing some improv.

From the Atlantic all the way to the Pacific, it's an incredible thing.

And drastically cut shipping times down down to U.S.

ports by days and even weeks.

The United States is the number one user of the Panama Canal with over 72%

of all transits heading to or from U.S.

ports.

Think of that.

So we built it.

We're the ones that use it.

They gave it away.

Considered one of the wonder, really

one of the great wonders of the world.

The Panama Canal opened for business 110 years ago and was built at huge cost to the United States.

This is not the first time he's talked about it, by the way.

This idea that they would take it.

Now there's memes.

So you get this.

He's talking about it.

You get the Panama Canal memes

start to float up to the surface, which is kind of how the whole campaign went, by the way.

And as I said,

I believe

this is what you're going to see over the next year or four

as

this all starts you know he's been to Panama you're like well he just somebody like a squirrel pulled him off track and that's what happened no no

uh he's been thinking about this for a while now so here's one of the memes on truth he posts a picture of an American flag must be on some vessel

sunset there in the Panama Canal and

he writes in the the caption at the top of the post on truth, welcome to the United States Canal.

Whether he did that or a member of the digital team, whatever it might be, fascinating and

a funny way to,

you know, what you're doing is you're hitting people, right?

Getting it into the consciousness.

This is, you are the media now.

This is all of that.

This is how people, by the way, memes,

podcasts, shows like this, this is how people actually consume this and get it.

That's not the mainstream anymore.

It's not newspapers and then cable tele, all that stuff that used to be.

It's completely,

it's a completely different way that they do things now.

Here's Trump back on Tucker talking about this so you understand the history of it, the Panama Canal.

And you take a look at the Panama Canal, who is such an incredible engineering marvel.

We sold it under Jimmy Carter.

We sold it to Panama for $1.

The following day, they quadrupled the amount of money the chips had to pay to get across.

They didn't lose one ship.

And now they've made it much bigger.

And now they've widened it.

They've doubled it, right?

They've more than doubled it.

And it's one of the most profitable things any time.

It's just incredible, right?

You won't believe how upset he is about this.

I mean,

this is nothing new.

And

I'm telling you, this is something that you're going to see people melt down over, but it's a perfect example, whether he does this or not.

I think we're watching as part of the art of the deal.

Getting these people back in line, making sure that we have all the resources available to us.

Maybe we take control back of the panel ball canal.

Maybe we do.

We'll see what ends up playing out here.

But I think what you're actually watching him is creating leverage or taking advantage of the leverage that we already had that we basically basically ceded, we gave away back in the Jimmy Carter days, and really, more than anything, re-establishing our

place on the world stage.

And this is part of making America great again.

Looks, this is it.

Watching him and watching this play out in action in real time.

By the way, not the only funny and controversial and interesting thing he said yesterday.

There were a number of things.

In fact, one of them had to do with taking a whole country.

Well, he wants to buy it.

I don't know if it'd be for a dollar.

Maybe he'll play market value.

Greenland is on the table again.

Remember that back from the first amount of the idea that they might buy Greenland?

Well, it's

on again.

We'll fill you in on that and more from America Fest yesterday, President Trump's comments and more.

Plus, hey, you can join the program at any time.

What the Panama Canal back.

President Trump made that pitch at Amfest.

Well, that's kind of where it came from.

But it's got roots.

He's really not, he's just,

and you're going to hear why here

this has got him so ticked off.

It's such a bonehead

move by Carter back in the day when he did this,

selling it for a dollar

left us in a real mind and a pickle.

And you're going to hear why.

It really centers around our biggest competition and what Trump has said about it.

And you take a look at the Panama Canal, who is such an incredible engineering marvel.

We sold it under Jimmy Carter.

We sold it to Panama for $1.

The following day, they quadrupled the amount of money that ships had to pay to get across.

They didn't lose one ship.

And now they've made it much bigger, and now they've widened it.

They've doubled it, right?

They've more than doubled it.

And it's one of the most profitable things.

Any time

it's just incredible, right?

We gave it away for $1.

China now controls it.

They actually control the Panama Canal.

They run it, they control it.

And we shouldn't let that happen.

And we can't let China be in Cuba.

And they'll get out.

If I'm president, they'll get out because I had a very good relationship with President Xi, but he respected this country.

He respected me.

See, now you're starting to hear what's really behind this Panama Canal thing and

a lot of the other issues.

But this is something he'd been thinking about for a while.

This is from an interview with Tucker.

Gosh, I mean, this was

about a year ago, maybe?

And he'll get out.

And we can't let them run the Panama Canal.

We built the Panama Canal.

It should have never been given to Panama.

We should have had it.

But we gave it for $1, think of it.

They quadrupled.

In one day, they lifted the fees, which are, you know, pretty big for these massive ships to go through, right?

Rather than going around the Cape and through all the tremendous storms, such beauty, such, you know, when you, it's beautiful stuff.

But you didn't want to get caught in those storms.

Those were storms that wiped out the biggest ships.

And we go through the Panama Canal, we built it, and we gave it away for $1.

Think of that.

How stupid are we?

We have done the stupidest things in this country.

He is

really pointing out some of the failures and mostly how easy it would be to just right things, the wrongs that have been done and get things back on track.

Now, he's also talking about buying Greenland.

This is something that's come.

Now, you You got to hear because there's an actual statement that goes along with this.

But

this is

listen to this meme.

Wall Street Mav is who posted this, and it's got that infamous picture of the guy like yelling into a girl's ear, like at a nightclub somewhere, and she's just like zoned off.

And he's saying, so Elon wanted to buy Twitter.

Then he changed his mind, but a liberal judge in Delaware made him go through with it.

Then somehow I became the media now.

Trump won the White House in Congress.

We annexed Canada, bought Greenland, and recaptured the Panama Canal.

Oh, the memes.

The memes are awesome.

Here's one.

We're taking over Greenland.

The polar bear armies will be ours.

There's Trump riding with an American flag on the back of a polar bear.

Trump announces plans for the United States to officially purchase Greenland and Cuba when he takes office.

Now, these are memes again, so you have to realize that these memes, though, they can and do have

a way of sort of making their way into the zeitgeisten and somehow into reality.

And it's been wild to watch that over the last year or so.

Here's Brick Suit with one: The New Greenland deal, Democrats, Green New Deal, Trump, New Greenland deal.

Somebody said if we buy, if we buy Greenland, we ought to rename it Magadonia.

Here's a statement.

I am pleased to announce Ken Howry as my choice United States Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark.

Ken is a world-renowned entrepreneur, investor, public servant who served our nation brilliantly during my first term as U.S.

Ambassador to Sweden, where he led efforts to increase defense, security, and economic cooperation between our countries.

As a co-founder of PayPal and Venture Capital Fund, Founders Fund, Ken turned American innovation and tech leadership into global success stories.

And that experience will be invaluable in representing us abroad.

For purposes of national security and freedom throughout the world, the United States of America feels that on

to compromise.

We gotta stand together

if we're gonna survive.

Stand up straight

and hold the line.

It's a new day, a time to ride.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

What a fantastic and full week for folks

in Phoenix.

I think it was Am Fest, America Fest,

where Charlie Kirk and the crew from Turning Point had folks coming in from all over the country with appearances like President Trump, 47th President of the United States, where he made some big headlines and news.

But guess who else did?

Our very own Glenn Beck.

And you won't want to miss what he had to say.

He made some splashes at Amfest, and

the speech, which I think everyone ought to hear, covered

a wide range of how we got here and where do we go from where it is that we are now.

You'll hear it coming up after this, Justin Barkley in for Glenn Today on the Glenn Beck program.

If you're scrambling to think of a good present for your loved ones, give them what I gave my family last year, the peace of mind with a Burna less lethal launcher.

Or treat yourself with the Burna Launcher.

You can be confident that you and your family are prepared to defend against any potential threats.

Plus, it's easy to use and legal to use for anybody over 18.

The Burna Launcher, safe, effective defense solution equipped with powerful non-lethal deterrence, including tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range capable of stopping an attacker in their tracks.

And even if you have a firearm at home, start with less lethal because you don't want to deal with the legal or mental burden of using a firearm.

So why choose Burna?

Because protecting your loved ones should never be a compromise.

It's legal in all 50 states, requires no background checks or permits, and can be shipped directly to your door.

That's why Burna is trusted by over 500 government agencies, police departments, and private security firms.

This is your last chance to buy before the holiday.

Visit Amazon to make sure it's delivered on time.

That's BYRNA, Burna.

Charlie Kirk and the folks put it on and our very own Glenn Beck with a fantastic speech.

Hello, hello, hello.

Last time I was here, can you hear me?

Last time I was here, I brought some things from the American Journey Experience, which is our vault of history.

She's got the chalkboard out, by the way, on stage, and a table full of artifacts in Pure Glenn style.

And if you remember, if you were here last year, I ended with this video right here.

To train all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives,

but they'll never take

our freedom.

Last year when I was here,

I told you there's a million ways this country can fall apart, and there is only one way it stays together, and that is a miracle from the Almighty God.

If we all do our part and stand where we're supposed to stand and God will help us push it over the edge and do the things we cannot do,

we'll win.

God showed up and so did you.

It was a miracle when Donald Trump went down on the ground.

I saw it within a minute of it being live.

And I was with my family and he went down and had no idea what was going on.

And I thought immediately, if he's dead, we're in civil war.

For him to turn his head and only be nicked, if that's not God saying, you know what?

I think there is a new generation that's standing up and will fix this country the way it's supposed to be to serve people.

Now we are waiting.

Now we are here and he is waiting for us to do the rest of the work.

We have a lot of work in front of us, but man, take a minute.

Doesn't it feel good to win?

If we would have won in 2020, this is the way God works.

It's so amazing.

I thought for sure we're done.

We're done.

There's a million ways to fall apart.

One that will hold us together.

We're done.

If we would have won in 2020, if Donald Trump would have been our president,

he wouldn't have had the same mindset he has today.

He wouldn't have done all of the homework that he's done in the last four years.

He wouldn't have done all the vetting to get as many weasels out.

He wouldn't have had the long list, and believe me, he's checked it twice, of all the people that need to go.

We have a chance to reset this nation pre-Woodrow Wilson with Donald J.

Trump.

I want you to know you have

defeated

the evil empire.

And it was just as hard as this.

This is from the movie, the original Darth Vader, Vader,

A New Hope.

This,

defeating him in the movies, it is the same story, except

I don't think Kamala has come out and said,

I am your mother.

But

she could have.

It was this hard to defeat the evil empire.

And that is what we're looking at.

When I was your age, many of your ages, I was lucky enough, 1984, first president I ever could vote for was Ronald Reagan.

And Ronald Reagan,

Ronald Reagan,

saw the problem in the world that everybody had been messing with since World War II.

And he was the first one against all advice, against everyone, to say, I'm sorry, but that is an evil empire and we will defeat it.

Communism, he brought down the wall because he had the courage to speak the truth.

You,

Donald Trump, have spoken the truth.

That was an evil empire they were building and it will come down now.

You know, when you look at

The structure of everything that they were building.

I honestly don't know, and a lot of my colleagues, people who do what I do, said the same thing before the election.

If he doesn't win, if we don't win, we're done.

I mean, personally,

we're done.

They will extinguish our voices.

How they do that, I don't know, but they will silence anyone who stands up against it.

But you know what happened?

When I first went in and started the Blaze in 2010 or 11, everybody said, that's insane.

Roger Ailes at Fox News actually said to me, come on, you're not really leaving to do that internet thing.

That's a fad.

I said, I don't think it is.

I knew that the mainstream media would burn itself to the ground and I didn't want to be anywhere near.

And when we started broadcasting on Blaze TV, there was buffering.

Nobody was watching because you'd see me go, let me tech, and then the little wheel would spin for a while.

Media Row out there is more powerful than ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC combined.

It's a new world.

It's a new world.

And believe me, you have a better chance of seeing the next 2028 presidential debate debate on something like Blaze TV than you do seeing it on ABC.

They're done.

They are done.

However,

nobody gives up that much power

willingly.

They're not going home going, oh, gee, we lost.

Gee, what are we going to do now?

I don't know, Bill.

You're not qualified to do anything in life.

So what are they going to do?

They are going to fight with everything that is in them.

This is a time of peace right now it seems like whoa dig this we won and there's no resistance

believe me when you come home after the new year and you start seeing the lead up to him being sworn in office

Things are going to start happening because they are serious.

It's the same thing that happened.

There's all these books, these were published in England in the 1500s and 1600s.

This is very, very rare.

There's only a few of these.

There's lots of these.

These are the books that were encouraged by the king to say, yes,

witches are real, and here's how you find them.

This one,

almost every copy was burned by the crown because this one said, no, that's not true.

That's misinformation.

These aren't witches.

This is all about control of the individual.

The king didn't want this one.

He wanted everybody to read this.

That's the same evil empire that we have

been

living under for a while now, saying, no, no, this is the truth.

When the truth has tried, they have tried to destroy the truth every possible way they could.

And they'd burn it, all of it, if they could.

But the truth always wins.

But they are going to continue to confuse and manipulate as much as possible.

If I'm on the other side and I needed to defeat us,

I know exactly how I would do it.

I would confuse you and I would divide you.

I would make sure that I could get in, you know, the Declaration of Independence, the original first draft, which I brought last year

in Thomas Jefferson's hand, is missing one word in the title, and that word is unanimous.

The unanimous Declaration of Independence from Congress.

The original draft was not a net unanimous.

John Hancock knew everybody's got to raise their hand.

We have to vote on every line because if there's just a little space between us, any space, the king will see that light and he'll weasel his way in and he'll break us all apart and he'll divide us and then he'll hang every one of us.

So we have to look for the light that is between us.

We have to know who the good guys are, who the bad guys are, who's actually on the team.

And now that we have all of this popularity, suddenly Donald Trump is cool with everyone.

We have to make sure those who wear masks are not coming in and claiming to be part of this team, and they have no intention of being on the team.

He's going to talk about the solutions and how to make it.

By the way, he's pulling out the chalkboard right now.

And he's about to roll it over so you can hear his

sort of the lay of the land and how he sees things.

This is Glenn Beck at a turning point event called America Fest over the weekend in Arizona.

Lots of folks in attendance, lots of distinguished speakers there, President Trump as well, and Glenn, with, I thought, just

a fantastic speech that not only did these folks need to hear in the audience, but I think you need to hear it too.

It paves the way for what is ahead and what we can expect next.

We'll be back with more of this.

Quick break.

Back next on the the Glenn Beck program.

This is where we have been, and I just want to show this quickly to you.

I'm going to do an episode on this later, but yesterday I was flying here, and this kind of came to mind.

This has been a top, this has been a timeline, if you will, of anarchy and totalitarianism.

And I've gone over it several times.

The United States, when we were founded, we were trying to get away from total control, an anarchy through a king, despot.

What we wanted was freedom.

We wanted to be ourselves.

We wanted to explore our own journey.

We didn't want to have to jump through hoops and unions and everything else.

We didn't want somebody above us to say, I'm sorry, you're not born of the right parents.

You can't do that.

We wanted freedom, and we wanted total freedom, but total freedom, when there is no authority, it goes into anarchy.

So, total control and anarchy.

When we first won, we did the Articles of Confederation.

Most people don't know this.

George Washington was technically not our first president, our first president.

I don't even remember his name, but he didn't last long because it was under the Articles of Confederation, and he wasn't a real president like we understand now.

That was too weak, and the states were still fighting amongst themselves.

We couldn't get trade done, we couldn't get anything done, and they knew it.

And so, at night, they got together again and said, we have to come up with something new.

And that something ended up being our Constitution in

1789 and in 91, just for the stupid people that they knew would become politicians, they said, let's clarify a few things and put them under the Bill of Rights.

I'm convinced everything after the first 10 amendments to the Bill of Rights, the first 10 are there in the Bill of Rights.

Everything else, almost without exception, is,

and I think it's

the liberty lovers that had to say to the then Democrats, good Lord guys, no.

When we say all men are created equal, that does mean black people too.

The next amendment, amendment, no, when we said that means black people too, that means they can also vote just like you.

I mean, it is just an excoriation of stupid politicians after the top 10.

But Jackson and Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, who destroyed us, Thank you.

I love anyone who hates Wilson as much as me.

They kept moving us, slowly but surely moving us towards total control.

And by the time we got to Joe Biden, we were right here.

We were within arm's reach of total control.

So, luckily, people woke up.

But it was hard to defeat because we had against us the mainstream media, the Democrat progressives, the rhinos, Republican progressives, the unions, all the Soroses out there, the NGOs, the Marxists, the anarchists that are actually communists.

I love those guys.

How confusing is that?

Then the corporations.

We also had on the right, sorry, on the left voting and pushing their control with the Democrats in a different understanding.

People like Elon Musk and Tulsi and RFK.

They were all on that other side.

And then COVID began to wake them up.

And they were like, oh, dear God,

they actually don't believe those top 10 things in the Bill of Rights.

I think I'm with the wrong crowd.

And they slowly started to peel off from there.

And now we have Donald Trump

and Donald Trump is trying to take us

here.

Donald Trump.

If he can do the things that he is claiming he can do, and I believe he can, if we stay together and with him, he's going to undo everything Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and FDRO and Johnson, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden did.

He will reverse this, and we will be close to true freedom again, the freedom that only Americans truly understand.

But here's our job.

Our job is to make sure, because they all, I don't know if you've noticed this, a lot of people now are saying, I'm with Donald Trump.

Are you really?

There are those that were over there, like the View.

Those ladies will go down with a ship in flames.

Liz Cheney, yeah.

Some unions, the Marxists, the communists that are also anarchists, some NGOs,

they're with.

They're with the old regime, they're with the dark empire.

Some of them

have come down here.

For instance, Morning Joe, the mainstream media.

Morning Joe is like, you know what?

I know I called him Hitler 40 times a day for the last 16 years, but I think he's a really good guy.

Right,

right.

But he's now on the bandwagon.

They're now like, oh, we like Trump.

I mean, we don't really, really love him, but we understand him.

Wait, if he's Hitler, that doesn't work for me.

So you were either lying then or you're lying now.

That's a great place to stop this.

By the way, there's more.

You want to hear more of it?

Glenn's big speech at AmericaFest over the weekend.

We've got it.

Justin Barkley in for Glenn today.

We'll get it more for you coming up after this on the Glenn Beck program.

Back next.

Glenn Beck.

I don't need to tell you how important a a good night's sleep is for your body, your mind, your whole outlook on life.

More Glenn back next.

Now we are listening in to Glenn, who gave a fantastic speech this week at an AmericaFest in Arizona.

Charlie Kirk's turning point.

President Trump spoke there.

Lots of folks in attendance.

And in fact, he's giving a bit of the old chalkboard at the end here, talking, I think, most importantly about how

the way forward, how to make sure that we don't get caught up in the trap,

bringing back faith, responsibility, and most importantly, the action of what it's going to take to get this country.

We've been given this gift, an opportunity.

You know, that the battle's been won here, but the war is far from over.

And that's the point Glenn makes in this speech,

wrapping things up.

Yeah, let me tell you now what we have to do to stay together.

We just have to recognize what our values

and principles are.

And last year, I asked if you would read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and the Bill of Rights because the Declaration of Independence is our mission statement.

That's what we're trying to build.

And there's no more glorious mission statement than that one.

Let me give you something this year that will make it easier for you.

Does anybody recognize what this is?

Why don't you all stand up for just a second?

Just stand up, take your hat off for just a second.

Say this with me.

You ready?

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God,

indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Right?

Let me translate that for you.

Let me translate that for you into something

that shows you what you're actually saying, because we say that all the time and the words become almost meaningless.

So let me show you.

I, I, me,

I pledge,

solemnly promise, pledge allegiance, which is loyalty.

to the flag, a symbol of our country, and to the republic, what is a republic?

A state in which supreme power rests with the people and the people have a right to vote.

For which it stands,

remains firm and steadfast.

And to

let's see, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands.

One nation,

a people of a land, any land, land, a people collected in any land that are aware of their unity.

You can't have a country unless you're aware of our unity and what brings us together.

That's what we have forgotten.

God,

a creator,

indivisible, incapable of being divided, incapable of being divided.

Liberty and justice for all, free from despotic rule, with equal and just laws for not just me, but all.

This is what we pledge.

It's not about the flag.

If you want to find out, is somebody truly on our side?

You look for these things.

You look for someone who is truly taking a solemn promise

to stand with loyalty to a republic, a state which its supreme power rests with all of us, not just me, but you and you and you, all of us.

We will remain firm and steadfast to defend these things.

We believe in a creator.

If you don't believe in a creator, I don't know how you can truly understand America because we are different.

We're different than the rest of the world.

We were created by a God that gave us these rights, which this republic protects.

So you have to have a creator.

And understand

that when you have all of these,

Because if we're in a land where everyone is aware of our unity, we're united on these rights, we are incapable of being divided

from

despots, from totalitarianism, from all of the things that we stood up against.

We will win and continue to move the ball forward if we look at who we're standing next to, who's now claiming, y'all, y'all,

I've been with you the whole time now.

I don't think so.

Do they take these things seriously?

Do they, that's why we were here.

That's why this cup, made of wood,

traveled on the Mayflower with our pilgrims.

This is why they came.

to serve God and the best serve God, you serve your fellow man.

Blessed be the peacemakers.

That doesn't mean your life is going to be full of peace.

Jesus didn't have a lot of peace in his time, they executed him,

but he stood as a peacemaker.

Peacemakers stand at a time when there is no peace and speak the truth so others may have peace, so their children and grandchildren can have peace.

Because I want you to know

that we live in an incredible country with incredible things just ahead of us.

We have now, with this election, turned the page to an entirely new chapter.

We're like halfway through the book.

And instead of putting the end,

we just said part two.

But you get to write what this nation does.

That's an incredible opportunity and an incredible responsibility.

But remember, all you have to do, all you have to do is believe, truly believe, not in magic, but in the Republic and the things which she stands for.

You have to believe in the best of one another.

You have to stand together to make sure evil does not creep in.

But when you believe you have the power, we have had the power the whole time.

Just like Dorothy did

in The Wizard of Oz.

It's not quite as easy as clicking your heels together, but almost.

Now,

one more thing.

The shooting of the

healthcare executive on the streets of New York.

There are people that are saying this is a good thing.

If we lived in a cartoon world,

it might be.

If we lived in the former Soviet Union, maybe.

But we don't.

What the people on the left that are supporting the killer are actually saying is:

we need Batman.

This is the fireproof mask

from Batman Begins.

We don't need Batman.

Batman is vigilante justice, and it's okay if you live in Gotham.

But we do not live in Gotham.

Vigilante justice goes against everything

we just said.

We do it the right way.

We stand for the right things.

And we let the rule of law judge, not this.

There was a movie where this was opened

and

he put it back in his pocket and then he traveled the world.

And

when he saw his father, his father said, surely my son's not dumb enough to pack my journal all the way over here.

And Indy went, Dad,

this is the journal from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

This is the journal that his dad wrote down everything to help you find

the cup of the carpenter.

And there were several things that you had to know that he had written down in this book.

Otherwise, you'd never make it.

This book is our Constitution.

This book is the Federalist Papers.

This book is our Bill of Rights, our Declaration of Independence.

Everything you need to know to be able to

get to the Cup of the Carpenter.

This is the one Indy picked.

To get here,

you have to know what has been written down.

You don't need to make it up.

You don't have to go ask all these experts on TV because it's already right there in one little place.

Read it.

And if you want to keep

a free country,

read it, read the Bible,

and choose carefully.

Yes,

amen.

Thank you very much.

Glenn, Glenn back at the turning point event this week at America Fest and

a fantastic, but one that I felt you needed.

Now, you didn't get to hear all of it, just

portions of it.

We'll make sure we get it up on the stack for you today at justinbarkley.com.

It'll be up, and I'm sure Glenn will share that on his social medias as well.

And just wanted to make sure it's such a important,

it's such an important moment.

Yes, there was a lot of celebratory and should be, right?

We hit a milestone.

We had a major, miraculous moment that just took place.

We ought to be grateful for that.

We really ought to take some time and

celebrate, but we really

can't lose focus on how we got here and what that road looks like

that is still in front of us because we're still at that crossroads.

We've made some ground.

But man,

we've got a ways to go.

It is.

You know, look, I'm fully convinced after everything that we've seen

that if we continue to walk it out, if we continue to lean on God, he will get the rest done.

But we've got to make sure that

we take the steps necessary, the ones we're called to.

More on that after this, Justin Barkley, and for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.

But I wanted to make sure that we ended on some good news today.

I've actually had a wonderful time, spent a little bit of time with you before Christmas here and be back tomorrow.

But

first, this.

There are great things happening in the world.

We've been talking about some of those today, even though we got to face the facts of the reality, the truth, the good, the bad, the ugly, right?

We got to face it.

There are some great things happening.

Denzel Washington, baptized and preaching, you may say, what's going on in Hollywood?

I was 20 when I sat in my mother's beauty parlor, and Miss Ruth Green was known to have the gift of prophecy.

Some of you may have heard this story.

And she prophesied.

She said, Boy, you are going to travel the world and preach to millions of people.

Years later,

look at

look at God.

Look at God.

So,

if he can do this for me,

there's nothing he can't do for you.

The sky literally is the limit.

And there's no limit to the sky.

Anything and everything I can do, I will do for this church, for the Almighty.

Tinzel Washington.

Another moment, and look, say what you will about some of these folks in Hollywood where else, but Billie Eilish

over the weekend, I guess this is in LA at a concert, singing Silent Night.

Something is happening in Hollywood, something is happening in this country

As we approach this Christmas holiday and the birth of Christ,

you're just grateful

for the work that is happening right now.

More, again, back tomorrow with you having a blast, Philly.

It's always an honor to be

with this audience and the greatest, I think, in the really in the radio industry.

Always a pleasure and like I said, fantastic time of year to do it.

Wishing you the best and a Merry Christmas if

we don't spend time with each other tomorrow.

We'll be back then.

Make it a great one with the Glendeck Program.
