Stand up straight and hold me right.

It's a new day I'm turned around.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

My name is Liz Wheeler, and we will be joined in just a moment by Glenn Beck himself.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

I am honored.

I am privileged.

I'm excited to be here sitting with Glenn today for this show.

Glenn will join us in just a moment.

He's on remote location today and they're getting

his technical stuff all set up.

But we have a fabulous show for you today.

We are nearing Christmas, the joyous season, but the people in our country who are not feeling the joy as much as they should, that joy is not happening on Capitol Hill.

On Capitol Hill, they're trying to do what swamp creatures do best.

They're trying to ram through an omnibus spending bill while all of us are spending time with our families and decorating our Christmas trees and making sure that all of our packages are tied with ribbons and bows.

They have a 1,547-page document that they want to ram through and giving our members of Congress, our representatives, barely enough time to get through 10 of those pages.

We're going to talk about exactly what's in that report today because ladies and gentlemen, you and I have a unique role to play in this incoming Trump administration.

Even during this transition period, for the first time in American history when we raise our voices we have an incoming president-elect and his team who are listening to us we are helping guide choices which will ultimately guide our destiny and once you see what's in this horrible abominable terrible spending bill i think you'll join me in raising your voices to put a stop to that we also have a new report that shows that 41 percent of americans under the age of 30 find the killing of the united healthcare ceo to be acceptable It's a shocking statistic.

It means that with all the joy and all the happiness and all the hope we feel after the election of President Trump, we still have a lot of work to do in our culture war.

I'm going to tell you today my story of how insurance is difficult.

It's challenging.

I quit my insurance, in fact.

We're going to talk about that and how young people really shouldn't be turning to murder as an answer to this.

All of this and more today on the Glenn Beck program.

All right.

A new report from the Hill says 41% of adults under the age of 30 consider the killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson to be acceptable.

That's more than the 40% in that demographic who consider it to be unacceptable.

When I read this statistic, I thought, you know, this is shocking because there's no other word for it than to call it evil, to think that the outright assassination of someone who runs a company, even if you disagree with that company, to think that the murder of that man is acceptable in our nation, a nation of laws, of order, it's evil.

It's completely evil.

Why are people feeling this way?

And I would propose that there are two reasons they're feeling this way.

Reason number one is because there are problems, legitimate grievances with our healthcare system, legitimate, not just

bureaucratic nonsense, but corruption.

Corruption that causes people suffering, pain, and even death.

Those are legitimate grievances.

But acting on those legitimate grievances, murdering someone

as a way of retribution for those grievances, that is always and will always be wrong.

And this generation of young people, I myself am towards the upper levels of millennials, but millennials and Gen Zers have been indoctrinated their entire lives.

From the moment they started watching television till when they were put in universal pre-K programs through the public school system with Hollywood and TikTok, they've been indoctrinated into being one thing.

They've been indoctrinated into having a revolutionary mindset.

They've been indoctrinated into feeling self-loathing for themselves based on the color of their skin or their country based on our history as fallen human beings.

And that is what we are seeing today.

We are seeing that that indoctrination has been effective.

It's not a hopeless situation.

It's a discouraging situation to see so many young people embracing an evil ideology or celebrating the murder of a man, a husband, and a father, even if you disagree with what his healthcare, his insurance company was doing.

But this revolutionary mindset makes it all the more incumbent on us

to understand where that indoctrination is coming from and to raise our voices and encouraging president-elect Donald Trump and vice president-elect J.D.

Vance to really abolish the corruption in these institutions, which have formed the minds of young people to think that it's okay

to murder a man, Brian Thompson, just because he was the CEO of

a health insurance company.

Let me share with you

a story about our healthcare system, because I think a lot of us watched this summer as RFK Jr.

married Make America Healthy Again with Make America Great Again.

And we thought, we never thought this was possible to have the marriage of two such powerful movements representing the anti-corruption side of each issue, the anti-Big Pharma for RFK and the anti-administrative state with Donald Trump.

They hadn't worked together before.

And we saw this and we thought, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to undercut.

forces that became clear to us during COVID when we saw how the public health administration and big pharma, the FDA and the CDC collude with each other in order to first instill fear, manipulate our behavior, control us and profit off of us, oftentimes at our bodily harm being the cost.

And we saw this and we realized this marriage between Make America Healthy Again and Make America Great Again is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to

take back that which is rightfully ours.

So all that being said, the grievances against the health insurance industry and against the healthcare, the healthcare industry as a whole are valid.

Health insurance, by the way, these young people, they have never experienced health insurance except under Obamacare.

Their entire experience with insurance has either been on their parents' insurance

or under Obamacare.

And what these young people clearly don't know

is that claim denials, while they're extremely common now, probably every single one of us listening and watching this show today has experienced that and the despair and the anger and the fear that you feel when you're stuck with a bill that you expected your health insurance to cover.

Because of Obamacare, because health insurers were forced to accept sick, expensive patients with preexisting conditions and that cause an imbalance in the entire system of how health insurance is supposed to work, claim denials have increased by tenfold thanks to Obamacare.

Glenn and I were talking this morning on on the pre-production call and he was saying, this is what I warned.

This is what I warned 10 years ago, when more than that, 15 years ago,

when universal government run, government subsidized health insurance was on the line, when Obamacare was being celebrated by the left and even some squishes on the right.

He said, I warned that this would happen.

That not only would it cause government to be more in control, that big pharma would be empowered, that politicians would be making decisions about your health that you and your family ought to be making.

And he's like, I warned that claim denials would increase.

So you know what I did, ladies and gentlemen?

After the birth of my second daughter this past March, our family's health insurance, I have an almost four-year-old and an eight-month-old, our family's health insurance deductible increased significantly.

We were paying more than I could stomach paying in health insurance premiums, and we don't really use it.

The kind of healthcare that I take part in, I'm kind of crunchy-minded.

I go to the chiropractor, I eat healthy.

I try to drink my green smoothies, all the stuff, you know, that

I'm mocked for in the morning when I'm drinking my green smoothie

instead of drinking my milkshake coffee.

And I just couldn't stomach a health insurance premium being over two grand a month for a family of four when we don't use it.

So my husband and I quit our health insurance.

We actually took action.

Instead of, you know, murdering a healthcare CEO, we quit.

We called our health insurance and we said, we're done.

We're out.

We're completely done with this.

Because it's just not fair.

It just, it, it costs us so much every year for what?

So what is covered so that we can subsidize people who are making unhealthy life decisions, self-destructive life decisions.

This is not it.

And I told, and oh, Glenn is joining us now.

I am.

Sorry about that.

I've been listening to you and you're exactly right on all of this.

And if I may just ask you a question.

Yes.

I don't know how old you are.

20s?

No, I'm 35.

35.

Okay.

So

how much of pre-Obamacare do you remember?

Well, I remember it politically.

I was on my parents' insurance at the time through about 26, but

I remember the issues with it.

Yeah, okay.

So I was on the air at Fox and running a company, and we had the

Cadillac, if you will, or the Mercedes or Rolls-Royce of health health insurance.

And it was affordable.

And I was on the air at Fox and I'm like, you cannot do this.

These people in Washington, they're either lawyers and anybody who is in business, how creative are lawyers?

How good are lawyers for your business?

How, if you listened or were run by lawyers, unless you're a law firm, how successful would your business be?

So you have a majority of lawyers.

the rest of them are career politicians, and only a few people that even understand capitalism and how to run a business.

And I said, you cannot run your healthcare system like this.

It will lead to shortages, what a surprise, higher costs, what a surprise, and people

being cut out who have always had they're healthy and they've always had coverage and it's not a problem because you can't do it's simple math

and simple business and instead they incentivized these companies to come in and now because they're capped at a certain percentage of profits and they've incentivized by taking away the cops i want you to listen to this and understand this carefully when there's a problem

Whenever there was a big health insurance that was screwing everybody all across the country,

where did you find out about it or

where did it usually end up?

It usually ended up with some sweaty CEO on 60 Minutes.

The press would step in and expose it, and then everybody would be talking about it, and Congress would then step in and say, hey, hey.

I think we're going to have to have some hearings on your company and everything would change.

But now the media is part of the government.

The healthcare industry is in with the government.

There's not a cop anywhere to call if you have a legitimate problem.

This is why public-private partnerships become fascist.

It's a fascist problem.

You can't put those two together.

By the way, that Rolls-Royce of insurance, I was the last person in the state of New York to pay for it.

And the cost for my company went through the roof, but we held out as long as we could until they canceled that.

We were paying fines from the government.

They were fining us

for taking care of my employees.

It makes no sense.

And if you didn't grow up with privatized healthcare, as screwed up as that was because the government had already made it quasi-public private.

They had put in so many laws, again, attorneys.

They put in so many laws, so many restrictions, and the big pharmaceutical companies, the big healthcare companies, they could send lots of money to Washington, so they usually got their way.

It became crony capitalism, and your healthcare did suck, but it was better than the rest of the world, and it's far better than it is now.

The problem with socialism and socialist creep is you get far enough away from it.

I said this in 2009.

Here's what's going to happen.

They're going to say,

they're saying it's bad now, but then they're going to make it worse, but it'll be a slow creep to worse for about 10 years.

After about 10 years, everybody will be screaming about their health insurance.

They'll forget that Obama said it would cost each family, it would save you $2,000 a year.

They said, I guarantee

you're going to spend much more money on that, and you're not going to have the same service, and you probably will be screwed out of your doctor.

Where are we?

We're, oh, gosh, gee, we're 10 years away.

And what are they saying?

Exactly what I said they would say.

The left would be saying,

we've got to take the whole thing over because the whole thing is screwed.

And that leads you where?

Not only to socialism, but to the care we give our veterans, which is an abomination already.

I'm going to take a quick break and we'll come back in just a second because I want to hear the rest of your story about switching because I've thought about that of just switching to one of these, you know, these pools because that makes sense.

You're, you know, you got a problem.

I'll pay for you.

You pay for me.

That's actually the way insurance is supposed to work, but don't tell any of the Democrats.

They'll shut that down, too.

While we're talking about health care, abortion is not women's health care.

I'm sorry, I'm a man.

I shouldn't have an opinion on this.

Liz, as a woman whose pronouns are he,

are her, she.

Defamation, Glenn.

Defamation.

Yeah, sorry.

You can speak on that.

Is abortion women's health care?

Abortion is not health care.

And as a man, I think you have every right to speak up in defense of the unborn.

Abortion is an abomination.

It's worse.

There's a new study out.

I think it came from someplace in Europe.

And it shows 65% of women who have abortions within a year are having serious mental and behavioral issues.

Of course.

Of course.

This is why pre-born concentrates not just on the baby, but also saving the mom.

Most women come in and they don't want to have an abortion.

They just feel alone.

They don't feel like they have a safety net.

They got nothing.

This is where pre-born comes in.

Now,

I was asked by pre-born to tell you that

Tanya and I

have made a year-end contribution to them.

I put my money where my mouth is.

I believe in these people.

And they've asked me to tell you that we're matching $100,000.

So if we can raise $100,000, it will be $200,000 because it'll be my match.

So if you can put $1 in or $10 in or a $100,000, whatever, if you've had a great year, This is one of the best things you can do.

Saving children, saving moms.

The lives you will save are incredible and uh

i so believe in these people obviously um tanya and i are passionate about this so this is all sponsored by pre-born if you have anything and you'd like to give it uh even 28 pays for one ultrasound i want you to go to uh pound250 just hit pound250 say the keyword baby or head online to preborn.com slash beck that's pre-born.com slash beck is

i mean hopefully, we can do this by the end of the week.

A $100,000 match.

It'll be $200,000 sponsored by Pre-Born.

Where

the lovely

gleam?

I have to tell you, just a quick note: I'm in Nashville.

My daughter is singing at the Grand Ole Opry,

the same stage that

Patsy Klein walked on.

She's singing tonight.

And as a daughter,

as a proud papa of a sweet, sweet daughter, I could vomit blood this morning.

I can't imagine what it's going to be like sitting in the audience.

watching her, but pray for her tonight.

I know she's going to do a good job.

She was so sweet.

She said, Dad, I just, I don't want to blow this.

And I'm like, well, I know, but you're not going to.

And she's like,

they were so kind to invite me, and I don't want to wreck their concert.

I'm like, I've seen them in concert, honey.

It's for king and country.

You're not going to wreck it no matter what you do, but you're not going to wreck it.

So anyway,

let's go back, Liz, to you and

your healthcare.

You switched healthcare last year or this year?

Like last month, like maybe six weeks ago.

I I think it was we as of November 1st, we quit our health insurance.

Okay.

Not a commercial.

Who did you switch to?

No, not a commercial directly.

I mean, we've,

listen, we couldn't pay over $2,000 a month to cover my husband, myself, my almost four-year-old, and my eight-month-old when we We're healthy people.

We don't need insurance.

We're covering other people.

So we like went to their website and it's hard to find the quitting forms.

They want to make it as difficult as possible.

They almost don't understand.

They're like, what do you mean you're quitting your health insurance?

What does that, what does that mean?

I'm like, well, it means you you suck and we're not going to be a part of this scam anymore so i've i'd heard of these these um these co-ops i guess you could call them before i'd heard reports that you know groups of people and then this is like private groups of people would get together and cover each other's health insurance or health uh expenses is this one of the christian ones where all the christians are getting no it's not one of those this is this is i would call it for healthy people uh it's called it's called crowd health and they style themselves as being not insurance but assurance meaning you can have assurance that your health events will be covered if you qualify to join this group.

And it's really cool.

It's like crowdfunding.

I get an email every month that says, hey, someone in your group needs, you know, help covering pregnancy expenses.

And so I give a couple hundred dollars to that in addition to your base monthly fee.

It's, Glenn, it's a fraction of the price of health insurance.

And you're, you're, if you are a member in good standing, you can have confidence that your, that your claims, I guess you could call them, will be covered.

Does it tell you you're in good standing?

I mean, yes, it does.

You get like a a red mark, or if you're not in good standing, or a green mark, which is awesome, right?

It's like a system of merit.

Everybody can see if you're a good standing or not.

I love it.

I absolutely love it.

We should talk to

the CEO.

Maybe tomorrow we could get them on.

I'd love to talk about this because if you didn't, if you've only known Obamacare, you have no idea how the government is in bed with these corporations, which are buying the hospitals now and screwing all of us.

Ladies and gentlemen, don't miss Home for Christmas, a new Christmas album produced by Glenn Beck, featuring his daughter, Cheyenne Grace, and the Czech Symphony Orchestra.

It's available now.

Look at that.

What a beautiful picture.

It's the most wonderful time of

telling and harming you.

why would you believe

anything that this government tells you?

And I mean anything.

You want to talk about a betrayal of trust.

We don't trust our institutions anymore.

I'm going to show you why.

And this is going to get much worse as we actually,

we don't need to run investigations or anything else.

All we need to do is release all of the reports so you can see all the things that have been hidden from you in the last four years and and honestly the last, I don't know, 16 years.

We need to see all of it.

And the corruption,

the corruption from this administration is going to make

Watergate

and the Kennedy cover-up, all of that look like nursery school.

We are now starting to get reports.

Now, remember, what's going on with these drones?

Are they ours?

Are they Chinese?

Are they Russian?

Or are they just hobbyists?

The reason why I can't tell you is there's not any credible sources.

And I've talked to senators, I've talked to state senators, U.S.

senators, I've talked to Intel, I've had conversations on the air, off the air.

Not a single one of them or their agencies has credibility enough for me to come to you and say, I think this is what it is.

Other than just me just making it up.

I think this is what it is.

But I don't trust it.

It's kind of like how I felt before the election where you're like, oh, I think we're going to win.

And then 15 minutes later, you're like, I don't know if we're going to win.

I feel like that on every news story, you know, especially with the drones.

I think this is China.

No, it's definitely us.

Here's why.

Three reports came out yesterday.

Try this one on for size.

The Army Secretary

stymied the National Guard on January 6th.

Now,

this is a new report that just came in

that

Donald Trump tried to use the National Guard to ensure safety on January 6th.

Now, remember they called out the National Guard and they sat on their hands for a while?

Remember that?

They didn't come until it was almost dark.

And we're like, where is the National Guard?

Where's backup?

And they blamed it on Donald Trump and said, oh, he never did that.

Well, we already found out.

Now that was a lie.

Two days before he was saying, use the National Guard.

And then when he authorized that day the use of the National Guard, they were all sitting in their barracks waiting to go, wondering, watching TV, wondering, why aren't we being deployed?

Well, it wasn't Donald Trump.

After a two-year investigation

from the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, what happened?

The former Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy and two Pentagon Army generals, oh, and the acting defense secretary Chris Miller, what did they do?

They put roadblocks up and stopped them from being

from being deployed.

Wait, wait, wait a minute, minute, what?

So then after they did that, was a giant cover-up.

That's why we didn't get videos for like four years.

That's why we haven't seen any of the stuff from January 6th.

Because

they were the ones.

First of all, we know Nancy Pelosi was told by the president, do you need National Guard in a couple of days?

I'm a little concerned about it.

She said no.

It took us until, what, 10 minutes ago before we got the video of her from her daughter saying on January 6th, this is my fault.

I should have, I should have done, this is my fault.

No, no.

Not only did they do this,

the inspector general was part of the cover-up.

So when Trump said, I swear to you, Trump knew this, when Trump said,

what, about a month ago that we have to now separate the IG

from whoever they are,

you know, keeping tabs on and investigating, that they can't answer to the Pentagon if they're investigating the Pentagon.

Gee, that's a, what a surprise that is.

This is why.

Because the inspector general was part of the cover-up.

And then they started fabricating things.

And then when it got to Liz Cheney, we now know she actually tampered with the witnesses.

Liz,

give me a reason to believe anything from any official in the United States government.

I will give you a comprehensive list of reasons if we could cue the cricket noises here.

I was going to say, wow.

No, no, no.

Obviously, we should not believe a word that comes out of any government official's mouth.

And it actually gives me pain to say this because I wish that we could trust our institutions a little bit more.

It's part of the American spirit to be kind of skeptical and a little cynical about this stuff.

This Loudermilk report, though, this is, I mean, I read it when it came out yesterday.

I was rereading it right now.

And the stuff

involved in the aftermath of January 6th, how this was leveraged as an attack on Trump is quite something.

They deleted, the January 6th committee deleted a terabyte of evidence.

They withheld it from the final report and then deleted it.

And it was on our show when they first took over.

I had a House member on the air and they said, Glenn,

they deleted all this information.

We went on the air and people are like,

They were just trying to make the Democrats look bad.

No,

they deleted a terabyte of information.

That's like bleach bit and hammers 2.0.

That's the significance of deleting it.

Also, they didn't investigate who constructed.

Remember those gallows that were constructed outside of January 6th, and it was used to paint us all as white supremacists, Nazis,

anybody who had any concerns about the outcome of that election, you'd think that would be the first thing they would investigate.

But not only did they not investigate it, they deconstructed the gallows and just put it in the back of a government-owned truck.

Like, what?

Are you taking it back to your government shed where it came from?

So they took it out of the government truck, set it up, and then they put it back in the government truck?

Yeah, more or less.

This is,

it is, it's, you know, when I said a minute ago, I used to believe the government, that's that's wrong.

I shouldn't have believed the government.

You know, George Washington said government is like fire.

When it's out of control, it will burn everything down.

And it is,

when you do control it, it's good.

It could keep you warm, but it could also burn you up at the same time.

You've got to be careful.

It's fire.

And none of us have looked, my age, looked at the government that way because the last people that said it were the hippies and they're the Nancy Pelosis.

So, what the hell?

You know what I mean?

Now,

so much over the last 20 years has been exposed.

It's just sickening.

And what I don't understand is how Democrats, and I don't mean the people in Washington, and I don't mean

the machinery, I mean how Democrats who vote

are

still buying any of this stuff.

How do you not see it?

How do you be a fan of what RFK was saying just on health?

I'm not saying necessarily the vaccine stuff,

even the vaccine stuff now, but

how were you behind all of that, that big pharmaceutical is bad?

And now

you just, without any new evidence, in fact, all evidence points to you were right.

How do you support it?

What happened to you?

I changed.

I can tell you when I changed, why I changed.

What changed you?

How did you go from, no, you know, sexual predators, you know,

we shouldn't have them in the classroom too.

You know, it's not so bad.

It's really not.

What changed?

By the way, I'm in Nashville.

The hockey team, the Nashville Predators.

Not a good name.

And please never have kids get in for free.

You know, don't have one of those those nights where, hey, half price for kids.

You're the predators.

Change your name.

Anyway, I digress.

I have a suggestion of what they could change it to.

I mean, I hear that Pocahontas in the style of Elizabeth Warren is offered for half a dozen.

Not if Donald Trump has anything to do with it.

Then you also have the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Now, we have been saying this for three years now.

These numbers don't make sense.

These numbers don't make sense.

The numbers in the economy don't match.

Now,

when the economy goes down and the stock market goes up, that doesn't make sense either.

But I can explain that.

That's because the Fed and Wall Street are just circling the money.

They're printing money, giving it to the big corporations, and the big corporations are buying their stock back.

That's why the stock market is doing what it's doing and is no longer an indication of anything real.

But BLS, the jobs report, how can so many people be unemployed, working part-time, and yet, oh, the labor statistics, we're adding jobs like crazy.

Well,

for a couple of reasons.

One, illegal immigration.

They're getting the jobs that do exist.

You're not.

If you are here legally, you're not.

Why?

Because the government's not going to be the police.

They're not going to stop you.

And if you're paying people under the table, if you're paying people less than what you have to pay, you can get away with it because the government's never going to stop you.

Hmm.

Public-private partnership again.

Now we find out that

the Bureau of Labor Statistics said, we just made some mistakes.

For the last three years,

it has erased every job gain.

They have now done the math up to, I think, the second or third quarter of this year, and they've done the math.

There's no job growth.

There's not been any job growth.

None.

All of that was a lie.

Why do you believe?

Why?

Help me out, Liz.

I got it.

You know what's interesting?

When you talk about not believing our government and not believing politicians, we started the show talking about that 41% of young people who

are okay with the murder of United Healthcare CEO.

And there's an interesting mindset change that's happening among the American people, specifically among younger people, where they are actually properly diagnosing a problem or a grievance or some kind of corruption.

They are just mistaken, sometimes not just mistaken, evil in their prescription, and their prescription is poison.

I'm speaking at Amfest.

I'm the keynote speaker, last speaker on Saturday,

and I'm going to address this because that's filled with young people who it's very easy.

You have a real grievance, but

you have been trained to misplace it.

You have been trained by Marxists to never look at the collusion with the government.

That's the real problem.

And you don't have anything to believe in.

You didn't grow up in America that didn't have TSA, which, by the way, Dallas TSA, I got a lot to say about you.

You didn't grow up in a world without that.

You haven't grown up in a world where you're not monitored all the time.

You weren't in an America where somebody could have an idea in a garage.

This is why Elon Musk is so amazing.

Because he just has ideas and he does them and they work.

Nobody can do that anymore.

Even Bill Gates, that evil, anyway, he even has said years ago he couldn't have started Microsoft in his garage now with all of the laws and regulations.

You don't know what real freedom is like.

I remember it.

You want that

and you don't want what you've been taught in your schools is what you want.

No, they're wrong.

They're lying to you.

And that's what's causing the problems in America.

All right, back in just a second.

Our sponsor, this half hour, is Simply Safe.

You know, things that sometimes go bump in the night go bump in the day sometimes as well.

And those things can be a real problem.

As

we are going to enter times of struggle, we're going to.

And it's just a matter of time.

And as things get worse before they get get better, I really truly believe they're going to get better.

We're going to see more robbery and more crime.

And now, hopefully, police are going to step in and do more.

But right now,

they're not staffed to be able to answer a burglary call, a burglar alarm going off.

They're not staffed in most cities.

They can't do it because so many alarms are tripped by somebody just not thinking, tripping it themselves.

So they don't come on the first burglar alarm.

Well,

that's a problem if it's an actual burglary.

That's where SimplySafe comes in.

Right now, you can get their entire system.

This is the best deal of the year.

The entire system 50% off with the select professional monitoring plan that they offer.

You don't have to have it, but if you have it, they can answer to an alarm, find the person that is in the view of the cameras that are coming in the window or the front door or the back door or whatever.

They can see them.

They can talk to them.

Is that you?

You're the owner of the house.

Yes, I am.

You know, here's my picture, whatever.

Or, hey, you don't belong to this house.

We are already on the phone with police verifying this burglar alarm.

They're on their way.

That's the difference with SimplySafe.

They can do that within five seconds.

SimplySafe.com/slash Beck.

Go to simply safe.com/slash Beck.

There is no safe like SimplySafe.

You're listening listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, tonight on the Wednesday night special,

I have Neil McDonough in.

You may not know the name, but I guarantee you know the actor.

He is white hair, piercing blue eyes, always plays a villain.

He was in Yellowstone.

He's in Tulsa King.

He was in Minority Report, Captain America, Banda Brothers.

He's huge.

He in 2010 was blackballed because he wouldn't do a sex scene with an actress or even kiss an actress other than his wife.

So he was blackballed as being some sort of, you know, unreasonable Christian or whatever.

Then after they stopped blackballing him, he came out and said, Oh, by the way, I'm a Republican and I really love Trump.

And his career has never been bigger.

He's on the Wednesday night special tonight at nine.

The Glenn Beck Program.

I want to talk to you about Pre-Born.

Tanya and I are going to match you dollar for dollar.

In your gift to pre-born, if you've been thinking about giving to pre-born, now is the time to do it because your dollar will equal $2.

And

I'll match it.

So please, if you care about abortion, I know you do.

I know you do.

If you care about the moms, which I don't know how moms have gotten lost in this whole story.

The left claims, oh, we're for the moms, we're for the no, you're not, no, you're not.

This forever scars most women.

If you're for the moms and for the babies, and you're for the souls of both of them,

give to pre-born.

We'll match you dollar for dollar today.

Keyword baby, keyword baby at pound250.

That's pound250, keyword baby.

You can go to pre-born.com slash beck, pre-born.com slash beck.

Make your donation today or tomorrow, sponsored by Preborn.

We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.

You stand up straight and hold the light.

It's a new day, I'll turn to rise.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is is the Glenn Beck program.

Okay, so Speaker Johnson has come out.

What a great Republican that guy is.

And I mean that.

He's a very good Republican.

He's not a conservative.

He's not fighting on the same side.

He's a Republican.

He just put out a 1,500-page spending bill.

And you won't believe what's in it and what's not in it.

Any real conservative should be on the phone with Speaker Johnson or your representative and saying, you don't have to read this bill.

You don't even have to read.

There's four or five things that just jump off of this bill that should be an automatic no.

We're going to go over that in 60 seconds.

Standby.

First, let me tell you about my Patriot supply.

With the Trump administration coming in, we all feel pretty good.

In fact, there's a new study out.

that shows the majority of Americans now are optimistic about the Trump agenda.

Despite any tariff concern, they are optimistic, and we should be optimistic.

We have everything going in our way except history and things like Speaker Johnson.

They keep spending money.

We're in trouble.

We're in big, big trouble.

I'd have some emergency food stashed.

Do you see what China is doing?

Wait, I'll talk about this later.

China's about to collapse or invade taiwan which is my bet um but they're now starting to say that they're not going to uh they're not going to give us access to certain minerals oh

good

good that's great uh my patriot supply is there to make sure if there's anything that goes wrong

from you know a bad snowstorm to a cyber attack to a Martian invasion in New Jersey, you can be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best.

Right now, you'll get $100 off their three-month emergency food kit at MyPatriot Supply, 2,000 calories per day for three whole months.

Go to mypatriotsupply.com.

That's mypatriotsupply.com.

Get your three-month emergency food kit.

I have an emergency food supply at my place.

Actually, no, I

lost it in a boating accident.

You can get yours delivered in an unmarked box at mypatriotsupply.com.

That's mypatriotsupply.com.

So Liz Wheeler is joining me, the Liz Wheeler show.

You can watch it on YouTube or on Blaze TV.

She is fabulous and really, really smart and actually a conservative, I know, because early this morning we talked about the spending bill from Mike Johnson.

What part of that do you like the most, Liz?

I like the fact that in order to print all of those pages we had to have you know american workers chopping down some trees which helps our industry there is nothing else positive about this bill here's what i would say to republicans in the united states congress who are there of course to represent us you don't have to post on x telling us that you spent the whole night reading this don't even bother there is one thing in this bill that should be an immediate disqualifier.

You don't have to read another word after you realize that included in this 1,547-page monstrosity, there is a one-year renewal of what's called the Global Engagement Center.

It's such a vanilla-sounding name, isn't it?

Oh, yeah, and it's not.

It is not.

We've talked about the Global Engagement Center on this program over and over again, but I'll bet you most people, even in this audience, I bet don't know how dangerous that is.

And the Republicans are giving it another year's worth of funding.

What's it do?

It's unacceptable.

It's unacceptable.

The Global Engagement Center is a sub-agency of the State Department.

And the purpose or the stated purpose, it was conceived in 2014, 2015, 2016, that's when it kind of came into being, was to combat foreign disinformation.

It's a narrative-setting body.

It's supposed to be a fact-checking organization for hostile foreign adversaries.

That's what they told us, which is funny, Glenn, because right at the time that they were saying that they conceived of this global engagement center to combat foreign disinformation, not here in America, they said, just abroad, suddenly everything that you and I say has been labeled as, oh, that sounds an awful lot like Russian propaganda.

That sounds an awful lot like, you know, someone being a patsy for a foreign government.

And suddenly this global engagement center was aimed at us.

It is the nexus of the censorship industrial complex, which has obviously been used against President Trump.

But think of the Hunter Biden laptop story being censored on Facebook and on Twitter of old.

This Global Engagement Center is behind that.

And the fact that any Republican in the United States Congress could look at this bill, see a one-year renewal for the Global Engagement Center, and think, oh, I should read the rest of this bill, mind-blown.

You need to say no to this bill.

Yeah.

You need to call your House of Representatives and say, no, no, that's not what we just voted for.

No.

And we will primary every single one that votes yes.

What are they going to do?

They're going to shut the government down?

First of all,

they're not going to shut the welfare system down.

They're not going to shut the

military down.

No, nothing that is critical is going to be shut down.

They should shut.

the government off with everything that we have learned and known.

What good are they going to be up to while we're all thinking about Christmas and New Year's?

Shut it off.

You know what?

Here's where I start with Doge.

This is my beginning place.

Hey, can you give me a list of everybody who raised their hand and said they were an essential employee for the government?

and has been showing up to work all through the pandemic and beyond.

Okay, good.

Give me that list.

Everyone else, you're non-essential by your own definition or your boss's definition.

You're fired.

That's what it should be.

You're not an essential worker, then what the hell are you doing?

What are you doing?

Why do we need you?

This government is so bloated.

It is so

rife with corruption.

The best thing, here,

I've said this for years.

Can we

try unplugging it and plugging it back in?

Reset to factory settings.

If we have these non-stop continuing resolutions, do you know what that means?

It means there is no budget.

There's no actual budget.

They're not discussing the budget.

They're not saying where you're going to spend.

None of that.

None of that happens.

They just keep saying, you know, the budget we had, I believe in in 2008 was the last one we passed.

Do you know, Liz?

No, it's also a betrayal, by the way, when you talk about the budget process, it's a betrayal on the part of Speaker Johnson because he specifically promised not to do this.

This happens every year.

We get to Christmas.

Congress knows that we're busy taking care of our families and enjoying the holiday and going to church.

And they try to cram all this poison through.

Speaker Johnson, you promised not to do this.

You are betraying not only your constituents, but the entire American public.

Give us one good reason

why we should not have a vote to vacate your chair.

Why?

Why should we not do that to you?

Because you have betrayed everything you promised.

We'll probably hear that from Chip Roy in about an hour.

Because, and Thomas Massey is just

blood shooting from his eyes today.

This is everything Thomas Massey said would happen.

Everything

we have seen over and over again.

And I want to go back to the budget.

We haven't had a past budget since 2008.

What's happened to our deficits since 2008?

Why is it your family has to live on a budget?

Because if you got to the end of the year and went, oh, you know what?

I don't have money for taxes.

Oh, well, I'll just get some from the Federal Reserve and I'll write them an IOU.

That wouldn't happen.

That only happens in the Biden family, okay?

It doesn't happen to you.

You have to have a budget.

Your company has to have a budget.

Here's the world's largest corporation, if you will, employs more people than any other thing in the entire world, the history of the world.

And we don't have a budget?

How is that possible?

Modern monetary theory.

Yep.

From the Obama administration.

It's the chicken.

I mean, it's coming to roost.

This is what we said would happen.

If you stop, if you stop acting like your money has value and instead you just print it at will, you don't have to have any, then government officials, meaning Congress members specifically don't have to have any accountability to their voters because they'd never have to answer for the question that voters would pose to them and say, well, you passed this bill and you're spending my money in order to fund whatever your project is.

Justify that to me.

But if the Congress members aren't appropriating money via taxes, they're just printing it.

There's no accountability.

It is a blank check for their pet projects.

You You keep asking, as an individual American, because I know this is the way I feel,

where is Joe Biden finding, oh, I'm going to send another $900 million

to Ukraine a week later.

I'm going to send another $500 million.

Where's the debate on that?

Because if that had to go through Congress, we wouldn't be approving all of those.

He is pulling from all kinds of different budgets.

He's just pulling the money, pull from here, pull from here, pull from here, and he's giving it without any debate, no congressional approval, no budget ramifications.

No one is even saying anything about it.

No one is saying the president is out of control.

They're not even saying he can't control his bladder or his bowels anymore, let alone control himself with spending and live within the definition of the presidency.

Well, here's the thing.

Here's the thing.

It's a hostage situation that's happening right now.

Joe Biden himself can't tell the difference between a nickel and a dime.

He is not in control of what's going on.

I think you know that.

The hostage situation.

You think, hang on, hang on, hang on.

You think or you know?

We know.

Imagine a situation holding up a nickel and a dime.

Joe, can you tell the difference?

I don't think so.

Maybe he'd be like, both for ice cream, please.

Yeah, and also, he's not the president.

He is not making these decisions.

If he is, this is the Wilson administration.

Wilson had a stroke.

He was completely incapable of running anything the last year in office.

His wife was shoving the orders underneath his hand, putting her hand on top of his, and then signing his name.

That's what's happening here.

That's what's happening.

He might be able to sign his own name, name, but I can guarantee you

he didn't approve 9,000 people.

Who did?

Who approved all of those pardons?

Who did?

Not him.

Not him.

We're going to look at those, the signature later when someone gets a chance to scrutinize it.

We're going to find that it's signed by Corn Pop.

All right.

Let me tell you something else that's in this bill.

There is an expansion of the Pandemic and All Hazards Preparedness and Response Act.

This

act, I mean, problematic from the name itself, perhaps.

We can anticipate what's in it.

It allows the government to declare a national emergency in the case of another COVID-19-like virus and force vaccines on us, vaccine passports on us, masking, all of the COVID tyranny.

This expands it and actually gives government the power to do it.

Again,

there's a lot wrong with this bill, but if this isn't a deal breaker, why do you even call call yourself a Republican?

Yeah, and I do want to remind you, this is a Republican bill.

This is not the Democrats going, I'm going to get that.

This is the House.

This is the House's bill.

It only gets worse when it goes over to the Senate.

And they're putting it.

What additional powers on

declaring a national emergency does our president and government need?

According to this bill, it would give them additional power to conduct gain of function research.

Of course, just defensively.

Wait, wait, wait.

I'm sorry.

I've got so much blood in my eyes right now.

What did you just say?

The

Pandemic and All Hazards Preparedness and Response Act, if expanded, would give the government, in the case that the president declared an emergency, if there is another COVID-19, it would give them the power to conduct gain of function research.

I wish this wasn't FCC regulated radio.

I can't think of anything that's not obscene to say after that.

Let me take a break.

Oh my gosh.

Okay.

Why?

Why would you do it?

Let me tell you about Lear Capital.

We just topped $36 trillion.

There was a $2 trillion deficit this year alone.

Now, hopefully, we're going to get strong leadership out of Donald Trump.

But remember, Donald Trump believes in growing the country.

He doesn't have a problem with deficits.

Okay.

He doesn't have a problem with debt as long as you're growing the country.

So he's going to be focused on growing the country, not necessarily the debt.

This is unsustainable.

This is a house of cards.

Did you see yesterday it was released that China is buying much more gold than they've let on to because they're just piling the gold in.

In fact, it's weird.

Every BRICS nation is doing that.

In fact, every central bank except ours is doing that.

What do you think they know that we don't know?

They know this is a house of cards and you will go back to gold or silver.

So every dollar that you have saved is going to go down in value.

Gold will not go up.

It's just that it takes more dollars to buy the same amount of gold because the dollar has collapsed.

Please, for yourself, for your retirement, for your family,

Have something that is safe, a hedge against this absolute insanity.

800-957 gold.

My gosh, I can't believe Mike Johnson is the guy.

With everything that has just happened

in this last election, really?

Really, Mike?

800-957 gold.

800-957 gold.

Go to Lear Capital right now.

Please, I beg of you, do not Let the news of the day and all of our optimism that things are going to get better.

They are are,

but you're still on the knife's edge.

Please,

800-957-GOLD.

Do it now.

10 seconds, station 90.

Old Mr.

Pringle is soon gonna jingle the bells that'll tinkle all your travel away.

Everybody's waiting

You know, usually like at this point,

Christmas music will cheer me up, but

as a dad,

I'm practically vomiting blood.

My daughter is on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry.

I was on the airplane and just going through my music, and I started listening to Patsy Klein.

I love Patsy Klein, and I'm like, oh my gosh, she's going to be standing on the same stage that Patsy Klein sang these songs from.

And that's happening tonight.

So tomorrow will be, I'll be much more relaxed

and

less scattered than I am today.

But that happens tonight.

By the way, the name of her album is Home for Christmas.

You can download it wherever you get your music.

And thank you so much.

Tonight she's on with For King and Country.

She's doing a couple of songs before they come out.

And for King and Country, if you've never seen them in concert,

you need to see them.

They are fantastic.

Okay.

So Chip Roy, I just read something from Chip Roy.

He said, we get this negotiated crap and we're forced to eat this crap sandwich.

Why?

Because freaking Christmas is right around the corner.

It's the same dang thing every year.

Legislate by crisis.

Legislate by calendar.

Not legislate because it's the right thing to do.

I love Chip Roy.

I do.

He's my favorite member.

Is he?

He is.

I think he's mine too.

Massey is, Massey's pretty great.

It's

pretty great.

He is.

He predicted this, by the way.

I think it was from, it was early in September.

Massey said, I'm going to tell you exactly what the Republicans are going to do.

This is before we even knew who was going to control the House.

He predicted this to a T.

Yeah.

They always do this.

Yeah.

They always do this.

And we always give in because they scare us.

Stop being scared by what the government is saying.

You should be afraid of the government on what they're not telling you, what they're doing behind the scenes.

When they say shut down the government, do you really think our missiles won't fly if North Korea, you know, pushes the button?

Do you really think we can't scramble our jets?

Do you really think that our budget, that this little game that we play every time, people are going to starve?

No, it's not going to happen.

This, what happens every single time is they scare people and they're like, well, we can't shut down the government, we can't shut down.

Yes, yes, we can.

You'll be surprised at how much we can take care of by ourselves, how sweet ass your life becomes when the government ain't showing up.

They're holding the the hurricane relief hostage in this bill.

Now, does that sound like you're negotiating with honest people, with good people, with people that actually care about you?

They're holding hurricane relief hostage?

Hmm.

Congress,

don't, do not bitch at me.

Do not bitch at me.

Oh, we can't even read the, you don't have to.

Reject this bill.

There's, there's, we just gave you three things in the bill that you're, you should be like, oh, wow, that's ridiculous.

By the way, very few mentions of the border in this.

Okay?

Call your congressman.

Hey, we're not around the tree yet.

Tube this bill.

Glenn Beck.

All right, now let me talk to you about your dog.

When you take your dog for your walk, you know, you want your dog to be healthy.

You want him to run and jump and, you know, just have a happy life.

At least I do with my dog.

My dog has, you know, we have a special relationship with our dogs because they also provide security for us.

And

Uno was one that when we had to have this, you know, in

places where we would go,

he's actually a bomb-sniffing dog.

He would go around the coliseums when we would go, and he'd sniff all the seats before you.

He's been an amazing dog.

He's fun.

We love him.

And he's protected us.

I want him to have a good life and a long life.

I want him to be happy.

And we thought he was.

We thought he was healthy until we started giving him rough greens.

It changed him.

It was like,

I don't know, he got younger.

It was almost like he was a puppy again.

We had not seen him run and jump and be as happy as he was.

Get rough greens.

Hey, our uh

our very own Dave Landau from the Blaze was

I mean, he was great on Kill Tony.

If you're a fan of Kill Tony and you missed the Dave Landau episode, I think it was, was it Monday that he was on?

Um, really,

really funny.

Uh, and if you like Kill Tony, you're gonna love Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night on Blaze TV.

Uh, He does Normal World along with

quarter black Garrett.

So it's fun.

Anyway, Kill Tony and Dave Landau.

You should watch that and then watch Dave's show on Blaze TV.

Okay.

Where were we, Liz?

The Biden administration, although not Biden, because he can't tell the difference between a nickel and a dime trying to sabotage the Trump administration.

Yeah, so the latest on this is now

Biden is hiring 1,200, Biden's not doing it, but he's hiring 1,200 DEI officials and putting them just under

the appointed official.

So there'll be 1,200.

Some of these people make almost $400,000 a year.

$400,000 a year.

That's your tax dollar.

Will you,

in your life, your average person,

I don't know if you'll ever even

if you'll ever even pay $400,000 in taxes.

So you could be working your whole life

for that one hire.

And he's hired 1,200 of them.

And all he's trying to do is make sure that the DEI positions just can't get cut.

I got news for you.

Donald Trump is going to cut those positions.

He's going to.

And it's going to get ugly.

I mean, the ACLU was all over this and saying, oh,

we've got plans.

We're going to, we're going to, this is, this is obscene.

This is absolutely obscene what the Democrats are trying to do by thwarting the next president and honestly, thwarting the will of the American people.

You remember the speech that was given by, I don't know, some boob from,

well, one of the Carolinas.

I don't want to to besmirch the other one for electing a boob.

But

he was giving a speech in the well of the Senate and he said,

we need a shadow government.

Wait, hold it.

You mean a deep state?

Because we already have one of those.

And he said, and this is a quote, one of the most obscene things I've ever heard from an elected representative.

We failed.

to make our case that our policies are better.

Now, in my world growing up in America, the next sentence is, we need to sit down and talk and find out why we're out of step with the American people.

His was, but we know we're right, so we need a shadow government to make sure we put our policies in anyway.

There's nothing more un-American than that.

By the way, Ted Cruz also said,

he thinks there's criminal charges that could be lodged against Biden and his administration for the selling of the steel and the walls for the border.

I think so, too.

I think so too.

He'll probably end up blanketing, pardoning everybody that has either lived by a Biden or is a Democrat, worked for the administration.

Everybody's going to get a pardon at the end.

It's like, honestly, it's like, hey, everybody, Oprah's here.

Look under your seats because you got a pardon and you got a pardon and you got a pardon.

Oh.

Now

the Department of Health and Human Services on November 15th, this is posted almost immediately after President Trump has been re-elected, they advertised for the following position, a deputy assistant secretary for minority health with a salary of up to $221,000.

This is the goal of this position or this is the purpose of this position to quote, promote health equity.

To promote health equity, what does that mean?

It means racial discrimination in healthcare.

It means if you are seeking,

I don't know, think about during the pandemic when there was limited resources, limited beds in the emergency room, limited amounts of, you know, drugs and therapeutics that people could access in order to treat COVID when it was at its worst.

Well, now you're going to be screened based on the color of your skin.

That's what health equity is because equity is not equality.

Equity is a word used

to disguise the reality that it's just, it's socialism, it's discrimination.

It requires a government official to look at you and make a decision about whether or not you are going to have access to health care that you might need based on what you look like, not based on the severity of your illness, not based on your ability to pay, not based on your request for care, but based on the color of your skin.

That's not only wrong and immoral and completely absurd that a bureaucrat in that kind of position would make over $221,000.

That's evil.

The left likes to pretend that you're a racist or I'm a racist just for voting for Donald Trump.

This is evil racism.

This is the kind of stuff that we eradicated from our country, and Biden's trying to plant the Trump administration with these evil little minions before he leaves.

I mean,

why are we surprised?

How many anti-slavery amendments do we have to the Constitution?

I mean, it's amazing to me, with very few exception, after 10,

most of these seem to be like, oh, yeah,

okay, you're so stupid you don't understand.

Slaves need to be free.

Okay, then the next amendment is like, okay, all right, let me limp up to explain this once more.

That means they're Americans and can vote.

How many amendments are just one after another, especially on slavery?

And by the way, who was it that didn't understand slaves should be freed?

The Democratic Party.

I swear to you, these amendments are just,

God, we didn't think you would be this stupid.

It's already covered, but let's lay it out clearly for you.

You cannot discriminate by color, by race, by religion.

We thought that had already been covered, but apparently not.

What I would do if I were the Trump transition team is there were, this is obviously a deliberate effort by the Biden administration because within the first 10 days after the election, 33 of these jobs were posted on government websites.

So this was, they were like, okay, Trump's coming in.

Let's start seeding the deep state with these racists.

What I would do if I were Trump transition is I would say, we take racial equality very seriously.

We take civil rights very seriously

in the administration of the 47th president of the United States.

And anybody who engages, especially a government official who engages in racial discrimination, will be prosecuted and prevent these people from even accepting these jobs because they will be threatened with legal action if they do.

You can make a legal case, a solid legal case, that that is exactly right.

And that's what should be done.

They would be doing that to us if

we were discriminating on race.

If we're like, you know what, we're only going to hire white people.

We would go to jail.

Oh, you know what?

We're just going to shuffle the deck here.

We're going to look at everybody, but we lean towards white people.

Did you have weedies for breakfast?

If you had Weedies as a childhood, you're in a different category.

Okay.

I mean,

we would go to jail.

We would be shut down.

It's the same thing.

But don't expect the Democrats to get it.

Do you see the new or the DNC chair frontrunner, the one they're thinking should be ahead of the DNC?

He said the problem with the election is the convention should have featured pro-Hamas activists.

I totally agree.

It absolutely should have.

At least they would have been honest.

At least it would have been more.

Think about how many Democrat voters and really prominent people, too.

I'm talking about Joe Rogan.

I'm talking about Elon Musk.

I'm talking about RFK Jr.

These were fairly hardcore Democrats who not only converted to being like, okay, we'll tolerate a Republican because it's not Joe Budden, it's not Kamal Harris.

These people are the biggest supporters of President Trump out there right now because of that kind of garbage.

So DNC, if you're going to be radical, please be honest and tell us.

Thank you.

It's just, it's just ushering new Republican voters right into our arms.

I respect you more than I respect people like Mike Johnson.

Mike Johnson doesn't tell me what, you know, he doesn't tell me what he really is, what he really believes.

He tells me what I want to hear.

I don't believe it.

Then he's elected.

Then he gets in and he rapes you.

You know, I have much more respect for people who are like, yeah, I'm pro-Hamas and you should elect me.

Well, don't think I'm going to do it, but thank you for telling me who you really are.

Yeah, great.

Let's take all of the Democrat members of Congress and let's Jamal Bauman them.

Let's Corey Bush them.

Because as soon as they were honest about being pro-Hamas, man, voters were like, actually, we're good.

Yep.

By the way, Hochul has come out and she is now

trying to stir up support to end the Electoral College

because no offense, Wyoming, according to her words,

New York voted for Kamala Harris.

You know, it is so dishonest, and this would have no space if if we were actually teaching students what the electoral college is for you want to talk about fairness here's fairness should New York City dictate what all of New York does no they have representation of all the small towns all the farming towns everything else New York City should not be the one that tells everyone else exactly how to live.

I think there should be electoral colleges in states now because the cities are just devouring all of the communities outside of those mega cities.

The electoral college is to make sure that New York, California, and let me say Texas doesn't run over all of the other states and force how they're living in those cities and those big states in Wyoming

or Idaho

or Alabama.

Yeah, I don't have to live like you do in New York City.

I don't want to live like you do in New York City and we have completely different values than you do.

We should have a say an even

equal seat at the table.

That's why we have the Electoral College and we have the popular vote so you can see.

And it's usually pretty close.

This time, however, Hochul, you lost the popular vote.

So you don't really have a case here on the Electoral College, but you don't have a case.

If you're an American, you don't have a case on the Electoral College anyway.

Wait a second.

Have we wargamed the scenario that you just proposed?

If there was an Electoral College on the state level in California or on the state level in New York, what would the have we actually looked in a map here?

If anybody has done this, tag me on social media because I am fascinated by this idea.

i'd not thought of this before but i would we actually swing those states republican if there was a state level i bet we would you know every time look at look at wyoming um

jackson hole now controls wyoming just controls it uh who's con who's so close to controlling texas all the big cities yeah uh you know you you don't have a chance when these cities grow so large they tip everything

that's why we have an electoral college.

And it didn't used to be this way, but our cities are becoming mega cities, almost states

in and among themselves.

You have to balance.

Otherwise, the farmer and everybody else that makes your life possible in a city get screwed.

And also

think about cheating for a second.

If you have a popular vote across the whole country versus an electoral college system, it's a lot easier to impact the outcome of the entire presidential election because you can have one county somewhere with corrupt election officials.

And if they cheat by 10,000 votes, that could change the outcome of the election.

But if you're in Electoral College, it doesn't necessarily.

All right, let me tell you about Tunnels to Tower Foundation.

This is a season of giving, and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is outdoing itself as always.

They're giving away dozens of mortgage-free homes, deserving families all over the United States during their season of hope.

This is when they present all of these people that have fallen in the line of duty, whether they're firemen, cops,

you know, or

soldiers, they are giving their families these mortgage-free homes, these specially designed homes if they happen to be critically wounded.

And Tunnel to Towers does it because people like you give $11 a month.

Would you be willing to do what the government does so horribly and we should be doing in helping ourselves?

We want the government to do less.

We have to do more.

Help the heroes and their families right now.

Will you donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at t2t.org?

That's tthe number2t.org.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

You know, the left is so screwed up.

They have no idea what they're even talking about.

The New York Times has come out and said, you want to understand the Republicans and conservatives, you need to watch Yellowstone because they believe they should just dump people at the train station, which actually isn't a train station.

That's not what Yellowstone is about.

Please do, you want to understand us?

Please do watch Yellowstone.

Here's what it's really about:

big government in bed with big New York City business coming in and destroying your lifestyle.

That's what it is.

It's about people moving in from New York and Los Angeles into your community, making it absolutely unaffordable and unlivable.

That's what we identify with.

We don't identify with the train station.

We identify with these people are screwing us and bringing their crap into our our neighborhoods.

We don't want that.

That's not who we are.

That's not why we live in these towns.

It's also a bait and switch.

It's all I can think of when the finale aired is that.

Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.

Spoiler alert.

All right, go ahead.

Oh, spoiler alert.

Close your ears if you don't want to hear what Hollywood is trying to do and manipulate you to think.

Think about Yellowstone.

It's supposed to have this conservative ethos, you know, cowboys and horses and family and this beautiful cinematography, Americana.

And what do they do at the very end?

They draw you in, make you feel like, you know,

this is what we grasp for.

This is part of our homeland.

And at the very end, they have all these white people give their land back to Native Americans in this gigantic land acknowledgement.

It is a, the whole show is a psyop.

It's a manipulation effort to indoctrinate conservatives once they drew you in into leaving the show thinking like a leftist.

This is why you should listen to the Liz Wheeler show on YouTube or on Blaze TV because I didn't even think of that, but you're exactly right.

It started offensive, like, wait, is this going to preach to us and ended there?

You're right.

The Glenn Beck program.

Let me tell you about Burna, the Burna launcher.

This makes actually a really good Christmas gift, kind of a weird one, you know, honestly.

If you're, you know, you know, you're living in New York, you're like, how dare you talking about something that looks like a gun?

Yeah, but it's not a gun.

It's less lethal.

It's a burn a launcher.

And it is so much better than pepper spray.

It is so much better than

a taser.

Police are getting rid of the tasers and the pepper spray, and they're getting burner launchers.

You should have one of these.

You only have to be over 18.

There's no permits required.

There's nothing.

It's legal in all 50 states.

And it is your go-to less lethal option.

I gave it to every member of my family that was over 18 last year.

Burna Launcher.

Get them now.

They're made right here in U.S.

They're in fact made in Fort Wayne, Indiana, I think.

Burna BYRNA.com/slash Glenn.

And they're made by people who are strong Second Amendment people.

This is just giving you another option: burna byrna.com/slash glenn.

This is perfect for everybody, including schools.

BYRNA.com/slash Glenn.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.

Stand up straight and hold it right.

It's a new day I'll turn the rise.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I know Congressman Chip Roy, who should be the next senator from the great state of Texas, I know that Chip Roy, I know him well enough to know, if this budget is a crammed-down done deal,

he's going to be spitting fire.

If this is still kind of as a chance of not passing, he's going to be spitting fire, but he's also going to be like, get on the phone right now.

So we'll know how bad this spending bill really is.

And it is just at our looking at it today.

We went over it an hour ago.

If you missed it, get the podcast.

There's no way this should, this shouldn't even be considered by a Republican, let alone proposed and tried to push through by Republicans.

Chip Roy joins me in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about Good Ranchers.

Remember, what's under the tree this year isn't nearly as important as what's in your heart.

I have to tell you, Chip Roy,

if this is what we get out of the Republicans,

I think we're going to have a problem.

I think we're going to have a problem.

Welcome.

How are you, Chip?

Well, Glenn,

I'm here.

And I'm frustrated.

Look, it is the season of the birth of our Savior, and we live in the United States of America, and it's still the greatest country in the history of the world.

So we start there.

That being said,

you know, we have Max Lucato on.

That's why you're behaving yourself.

He's on in about 20 minutes, and you're like, I just want to make sure I'm good with the Savior right now.

Just in case.

Well, look,

here's the thing.

And all of your listeners know this.

No one's surprised, right?

No one is surprised.

They might be surprised it's as bad as it is, but they're not surprised.

Here's the bottom line.

Since Republicans were given the majority again in the United States House of Representatives, with the prospect of the incoming president and Doge and Elon of Vivek and a Republican Senate, what have we done?

We have, to the best of my account, if we pass this bill, which is still being determined today, what's going to happen, if we pass this bill, this bill will add another $110 billion

of unpaid-for deficit spending, plus a health care package that is partially paid for, but it's a lot of gimmicks.

So it really is continuing to drive the deficit by another probably $25 billion.

And

all of that is on top of the almost $200 billion

bill that they passed that is essentially a windfall bill under Social Security that shortens the timeline for Social Security's bankruptcy by six to nine months because it's another $200 billion of unpaid for for spending.

So in essence, we have increased the debt some $335 billion in 45 days.

That is what we've done.

Now,

we've all

you've gone a little further than that.

I don't know if you've missed the funding for the Global Engagement Center for the State Department.

We're funding them for another year.

Okay, good.

Good.

All right.

So that's just, I'm just talking deficit.

Like just point one

is that's that problem.

Point two is that that we're going through in this bill, and we're funding a significant number of priorities that are contrary to what the American people gave us the majority to do.

Not kind of.

Not even kind of contrary.

Absolutely, the American people sent a message to the world, we're not for any of this crap.

Now, go ahead.

What's in there?

No, that's exactly right.

There is in that, and by the way, we got the text last night at 6.30 p.m.

So we've been going through the text like all of America, right?

We didn't have the text.

All we had was an outline until 6.30 last night.

So now we're going through the text and we're finding what you just pointed out.

We're finding that we're funding, for example, the enemies of free speech that we're undermining and that our friends at the Federalists, like Sean Davis and Molly Hemingway, are telling.

We're funding, for example,

an extension of PAPA, right, which is the preparedness thing with respect to vaccines, with no real shift and change to the blatant problems that we have with our health agencies on vaccine extensions.

Like, why would we just extend that?

Can I ask on that one?

What additional emergency powers

is the government in need of right now that we should give them?

Why is that even in there?

This is the problem, right?

You've got, and to back up, because we can go through one by one, but the real issue here that's being exposed, you saw Elon tweeted out last night about this, because this bill is contrary to the very existence of Doge.

But

keep in mind, remember two weeks ago when Elon and Vivek came in to address the conference, you've got all of these Republicans flocking to the microphone to basically kiss the feet and kiss the ring and say, oh, thank you.

Thanks for being here.

Oh, you're so great.

You've got people who are no champions of conservatism who are joining Doge caucuses and going out and saying, I'm going to be the leader on Doge.

Why?

Yes.

Because they know the American people are sick of all the garbage and they want cover.

They want to hide.

But here's the thing.

The emperor has no clothes.

There's nowhere to hide.

You've got a bill like this that

honestly, for whatever you want to say about the speaker and any disappointment about what we're dealing with, and there's plenty to discuss as we go through all this.

It is also a reflection of the conference itself.

Okay?

In other words, when I went in front of the conference that day, two weeks ago, when Vivek and Elon were here, and I said at the microphone, I said, guys, I'm glad you're here.

We need to empower the president with impoundment so he can cut spending.

I think it's constitutional to do so.

Vivek agreed, and we're all talking about it.

But I said, here's the thing.

You guys, all of the people here at the mic, you guys have been, you, Elon, Vivek, you're looking for the problem.

You're looking for the enemy, and it's right here in front of you.

This is

the people in this room.

And everybody, look, I had applause from the usual quarter of the conference that are conservative and and want to fight.

And then a whole bunch of people that were like, oh, we can't, oh, that's terrible.

Why would you say that?

Well, I would say that because we create the programs.

We pass all the bills.

It's not to say there aren't executive branch problems and abuses by the administrative state.

There are, but we fund them.

We create them.

And our guys go to them and they say, Chip, we have to do economic assistance for farmers.

And I'll say, you know what?

Our farmers are hurting.

They're hurting because of bad policies.

They're hurting because of a corrupt farm bill system.

They're hurting because of SNAP and food stamps on common.

They're hurting because of inflation.

They're hurting because of Biden.

Here's the thing.

You want $10 billion for economic assistance for farmers?

Okay, fine.

Let's talk about that.

Make sure it goes to family farmers.

Well, we couldn't get a provision that would make sure it doesn't go to corporate versus family.

Okay, you want to do that?

Then let's pay for it.

Well, I don't know.

I don't know if we can get a pay for it.

We just need to do it.

We just need to, it's an act of God that this whole circumstance of what we're dealing with right now, disasters and all that.

This is the problem.

There's always an excuse.

And one last point.

Every Republican who runs on fiscal responsibility will always say, Chip, it's the mandatory spending.

It's Social Security.

It's Medicare.

It's Medicaid, veterans, it's all the mandatory stuff.

To which I say, okay, I disagree with you.

Funding the bureaucracy that's weaponized against us is a problem, and we should focus on that and earn the trust of the American people to reform and deal with and manage getting health care prices down.

We have plans to do that.

But you're also lying because all of you, two-thirds of the Republican conference just voted for $200 billion of additional Social Security spending that will undermine Social Security solvency, as I said before, by almost up to a year, like six to nine months, because they don't they're not serious about it.

That's the problem.

This bill is a reflection of all of that.

And look, Grok is going to do a better job than I am uncovering all the stuff because it can go through and do it with AI.

But my staff is pouring over it like we always do.

The problem with the bill is a reflection of a conference that always wants the easy solution, which is more money.

And until you limit the endless supply of money and the printing of money and the willingness just to write a check, you'll never stop the corruption because no one has to make the choice.

Nobody has to say, well, wait a minute, I can't fund farmers without cutting this bullcrap program over here.

Instead, they just print the money to fund the farmers.

So

what do we have to do?

I mean, if the American people, now we're just, you know, a few days away from Christmas.

That's why this is being done at this time.

They know the American people are not paying attention.

But what do we have to do?

So I'll tell you what we did, the conservatives, Freedom Caucus, et cetera, trying to work in good faith, trying to build coalitions.

We have to figure out how to support President Trump in January.

How do we get 218 Republicans together to fight and win?

So we offered, against our personal choice, we offered yesterday, all right, we hate this bill.

This bill's not great.

but can we at least do the can we at least do the following?

Under a rule, can we say we need 72 hours to review the bill, everyone needs to withstand the scrutiny of 72 hours?

That's a sacrosanct provision we fought for in the speaker's debate with McCarthy two years ago, and we've honored it this entire Congress, for better or worse.

One time it got violated.

We're saying

we're not going to agree to violate the 72-hour rule.

We got to read the bill.

Number one, number two,

we want to have a vote on a pay-for.

And had we drafted an amount.

I filed a bill last night as an offer, as a counter, as a pay for.

That pay-for, Glenn, would be simply to return non-defense spending to pre-COVID 2019, 2020 levels.

That would save about $110 billion, and that would pay for all of this disaster supplemental spending.

That's putting aside the fact that it has crap in there that I hate.

I just wanted, can we just get that vote?

And this the third thing we asked for was a ban on selling off off the wall.

Don't sell the wall for five bucks at a pop.

Just put that in there.

That's all we asked for.

And we're trying to help the conference.

How can we get here?

Even though I hate all this garbage in here.

Wow.

And we couldn't get that.

We couldn't get that question.

You couldn't get that?

We couldn't get that.

And that's, look, and

I'm trying to figure out how to navigate where what we're talking about here,

what's being exposed, I want to be clear.

This isn't just about leadership.

And this is

being exposed.

This is the conference.

This is the entire Republican conference.

And people need to understand that because everybody wants to go home and they want to be able to come back and campaign.

I brought you your farmer money.

But no one had to make a choice.

And no one had to go through and say, guys, why are we putting a provision in this bill that takes RFK Stadium?

in D.C.

on federal property and basically has federal dollars going to give the District of Columbia, which is corrupt, which has criminals on the street, which is stopping school choice, which has the DC5 abortion stuff.

Go down the list of all the crap our nation's capital does.

And we literally just gave them RFK stadium property and money so that they can go try to get the commanders, who should still be called the Redskins, by the way,

a stadium.

Like, you can't make this stuff up, Glenn.

Like, why would we do that?

And so, these are the things that we're saying

we need to clean up the system so that that crap is no longer being done due, quote, buy votes.

We We need to narrow this down.

If I were doing this right now, I would put a CR on the floor to March, let President's team get in place, and then we go solve the rest of these problems.

That's what I would do.

And if you needed to include some minimal amount of disaster, so we had 10 people living in tents in North Carolina, put a $10 billion or some amount in there to hold for people to help them, put that on the floor, pass it, get to next year, and then let's get busy.

Congressman and Bernie.

This is Liz Wheeler.

I'm sitting in for Stu today.

I have a question for for you.

When is this vote expected to happen on this crap sandwich that you talk about?

Hey.

So good to talk to you, Liz.

Hope you're well.

So

right now,

we're being told it could be tomorrow morning.

Again, this is a suspension of the rules.

So it could kind of happen at any time because we're not taking it through the rules committee, which is what we should do, right?

Normal order.

So it could be tomorrow morning.

That's the rough plan.

It could go earlier if the speaker wants to try to just move it through.

Could it happen today, theoretically?

It could happen today.

Now, we believe, as I said, we believe it should be 72 hours to review the bill.

And the reason that's important is what's happening right now.

It's the cleansing power of transparency and sunlight, right?

Everybody sees what's in it.

Now, do you want to vote for this thing?

Do you really want to vote for the RFK provision?

Do you really want to vote for things for Congress?

Do you really want to vote for these things that are against free speech and the stuff you were just talking about, Gwen, PAPA extension, all of these things that we disagree with?

Do you really want to vote for those things on top of $110 to $135 billion of additional deficit spending unpaid for?

Is that what you want to do?

And I think the longer it hangs out there, the more the American people can speak their mind, the more Elon can tweet, the more Glenn can talk about it, the more I can talk about it, and the more they go, then my colleagues have to go, well, this is a crap sandwich.

We got to do something else.

So that is what I hope happens.

And

we are in a transition period where the new administration is coming in, where we've got more power through technology and our voice and the use of X,

you know, talk radio and what you do.

And

again, the Emperor has no clothes.

So those of us who have been in the trenches for a while, I'm like, thank God, like the Calvary's here.

We've been screaming, as you know, I've been on your program, like for years going, guys, here's what's in the bill.

But it's hard to get that out.

It's getting easier to get that out.

Yes, it is.

We're going to have to transition through this process.

This is hours, days, weeks, but it's going to happen.

A reckoning is occurring.

So you ask what people can do.

Call your members of Congress.

Tell them to oppose this bill.

If the worst thing that happens is that this bill has to die, that's a good thing.

If we have to deal with government closing, so be it.

If we have to wake up Saturday, if members have to be here, if we have to miss Christmas, so be it.

Our forefathers, George Washington, what were they doing on Christmas Day?

What were they doing in 1775 on Christmas Day?

They didn't, you know, what were the boys in Bastogne doing

on Christmas of 44?

So

do you think I want to be away from my family Christmas?

Of course not.

But we have a job to do.

We have a country to save.

So look, if we need to be here Saturday, Sunday, Monday, we should be.

And that's my message to my colleagues.

Stop this Christmas tree legislating.

Stop doing it purposely right before Christmas.

And this is exactly why the 72-hour rule exists, and it's why we

stood behind it.

You have been listening to the congressman from the great state of Texas, Chip Roy, who is going to run for Cornyn's seat if I have anything to do with it.

I'm just going to announce it.

He's announced to me, not really, but he's going to be the guy who runs against Cornyn, and he will kick Cornyn's Cornyn's ass as it should be in Texas.

But anyway, Chip, who didn't make any of those announcements or allude to any of that in even private phone calls, thanks for being on the program.

Glenn, in all seriousness, Merry Christmas.

And I do mean it, irrespective of Max Locato.

But say hi to Max.

This is the season of the birth of our Lord and Savior.

We are so eternally blessed to be Americans and

to have that blessing of God's salvation that he gave us.

And, you know, the sun is rising, and we've got to just stand on the wall.

We've got to do our part.

So, all of your listeners and everything, thankful you do, and

let's keep going.

Thanks a lot.

I appreciate it, Chip.

And it'll be great when you run for Cornyn seat and win.

Chip Roy from the great state of Texas.

All right, let me

take it.

He hates that.

Let me talk to you a little bit about pre-born.

Pre-born is is the antidote to abortion and not just Planned Parenthood, abortion.

We have got to win the hearts and minds of the American people.

What do people say about the right?

They don't care about the babies.

Well, I know a lot of people that would love to adopt.

I adopted.

I would love that.

But that's not even far enough.

We take care of the moms and the babies through pre-born for up to two years.

We help them in everything that they need, including counseling.

It is a fantastic thing.

And if you could get involved, if you can give a dollar today, please give a dollar.

Tanya and I are going to match everything we raise until Friday, I think.

So

please, matching this week, just

you can make me a lot poorer.

Go to preborn.com slash Beck.

Pre-born.

Beck, you don't know what it's like not to have money.

Okay, all right.

Show me what it's like to not have money.

Please don't make me poor.

Anyway,

we're going to match it up until Friday.

Just go to preborn.com/slash Beck.

That's preborn.com/slash Beck.

Or you can hit pound250, say the keyword baby.

That's pound250, keyword baby.

10 seconds, station ID.

Welcome to the

Landback program.

I have to read this review.

Let me see if I have it.

This is a review of

my

novel for

young adults called Jason Embers.

It just came out.

I love this.

December 12th.

I was asked to review a book for my local public school library.

As a first book in a young adult dystopian fantasy series, this story brings together plausible characters and builds intriguing storylines such that a reader would be interested in continuing to read other books in the series.

However, as an adult reviewer, I cannot help but be leery about the motives of the originator of this story concept, Glenn Beck, and the person who actually wrote the story.

Michaela Hedrick,

who is employed by Beck in his broadcast empire,

is possibly trying trying to influence the minds of your school children.

Good news.

Right now, Glennbeck.com.

Get two books for the price of one.

Influence some minds, will you?

Okay, let me talk to you about,

let me see here.

Who is it, Sarah?

Oh, Mantis X.

This makes a great Christmas gift.

Mantis X will help you.

If you're a shooter and you want to be proficient, you want to have confidence when you pull a gun,

you have to.

I was reading this,

gosh, I was reading this book the other day, and a character in it, she pulled out her gun and she forgot this, you know, the safety was on, and it fumbled with the gun, and it was turned against her.

And that's what happens if you're not proficient with a gun.

Don't pull a gun and don't pull a gun unless you're prepared to shoot to kill.

It's a huge responsibility.

It's a right and it's a responsibility.

And Mansis X is this

wireless device.

You put it onto the gun and then

it streams to your smartphone or your tablet via Bluetooth and it tells you exactly what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong.

It is fantastic.

Great Christmas present.

Chestnuts roasting on and on.

In like, I don't know, eight hours or so, my daughter is going to stand in the same place Johnny Cash stood at the grand old Opry, and she's going to sing this song.

And

boy, I would ask for your prayers.

Not for her.

She's going to be fine.

For me, because I'm going to be vomiting blood all the way through.

As a dad, I'm so proud.

And just, I don't know what I'm nervous about.

I really, because she's going to be fine.

But I am, I think I'm more nervous than she is.

I think it's because when I was 18, like she is, oh, I was, I screwed everything up.

So maybe,

you know what?

Pray that I understand she's more her mother than she is me.

And I think we'll be fine.

Max Lucato is here with us.

Max, how are you?

I'm great.

You're telling me that's an 18.

Was that a recording of her singing?

Yeah.

Yeah, she put out a new

CD.

She sounds so mature.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's what I'm afraid of.

When I think of an 18-year-old voice, I don't, I mean, she sounds like she's been, I don't know, like 30 or 35 year old, a real mature, developed, well, what a gift.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

So, Max, I wanted to have you on because Christmas is always made about the baby, and that is, that's truly a miracle.

But the real miracle is that he grew up

without full understanding, I think, for probably most most of his life of who he was.

He still was human, and he chose to take on the sacrifice for all of us.

And so, the Christmas miracle really is just the beginning of the Easter miracle

that his birth and his death gave us a chance to clear out all the garbage in our life.

And everybody talks about depression at the holidays, loneliness at the holidays.

And I think if we actually see the meaning behind Christmas, that takes a lot of that away.

It does, it does.

And that's why I think

what you said is absolutely true that Christmas initiates

what Easter accomplishes.

Right, right.

The accomplishment of the Easter miracle is where we truly find our hope.

But it begins with the Christmas incarnation.

You know, when

Joseph was told by the angel what to expect, he said,

you shall give him the name Jesus, because he will save people from their sins.

So your point is right on, Glenn, that Jesus came to deal with sin, to deal with sin.

And in fact, the very name

Jesus in the Hebrew language traces its origin to Yeshua, which is a shortening of Yahoshua, which means God saves.

So every time somebody said the name Jesus, they said, God saves.

Hey, God saves.

Come to dinner.

You know, his very name was a reminder of what he came to do.

And what I'm,

you know, people look at Jesus and they think, well, I can't be forgiven for what I've done or, you know, whatever.

And, you know, he was perfect, perfect, whatever.

He was still human.

He still had a choice.

He asked in the Garden of Gethsemane, please, please let

this cup pass from me.

Please, please, I don't want to do this.

But he chose to do it anyway, which just shows

everything in life is a choice of are we going to stand?

Are we not going to stand?

And it all matters.

But

if we fail he's got us covered and he understands he does he does and and and and the fact is he came to save us and not just save us from enemies or challenges or difficulties but he came to save us from sin and here's why that really matters god has high plans for all of us he's recruiting for himself a people who will populate his eternal kingdom.

And his plan is to restore this planet and this children into the Garden of Eden splendor.

What we see in the beginning is God's plan for the end, and that is a perfect paradise.

And one word describes heaven, and that's perfect.

And one word describes us, and that's imperfect.

And so God had to have a way to pay for our imperfections so that he could welcome us.

He's not going to lower the standard of heaven and welcome imperfection into heaven.

So, what he did, he became flesh.

He became one of us.

And he really lived the life that we were intended to live.

Adam and Eve were intended to live, and that is in a sinless state.

But when we don't, and we don't, his provision is that he will save us.

We don't save ourselves.

He saves us.

He rescues us.

And that's why the Christmas message is such a miracle.

so um we're talking to max lucato kind of the ted lasso of pastel pastors um and uh uh

how do you reconcile you know we always oh well jesus was very forgiving yes he was jesus was you know he was a lamb well yes he was uh he was so sweet the baby is so sweet yeah

and then reconcile that with all the smooting that went on in the Old Testament and also what's going to happen in the future.

I mean, he is not just that, he is fierce as well.

And though we love the baby Jesus in the manger,

our next vision and our next encounter with Christ of his return to earth, he will return.

According to the book of Revelation, he'll return on a white horse as a conquering king, and he will destroy those who have destroyed his children.

I think when we take this the smiting and the smoting out of context and just say there was times in which these people were all destroyed, we don't realize what is taking place here.

We don't realize that there were times in which babies were being sacrificed on altars.

We don't realize that the Promised Land was initially inhabited by people who were engaged in every even more immoral activity than we can imagine the vast majority of which was against children in temples

people who just this it's not that they have a disagreement with god right they just have a hatred at god and a hatred of his creation so i don't know how

biblical this is this is just me and my thinking um and i i don't know if this is even really biblical, so you're here to correct me.

But I always look at those things, the smiting and the smoting, that really he's just saved us from in this last election.

He stepped in.

He wasn't neutral in our affairs, and he gave us another chance that I don't think we deserved.

But

it's like right now, he can put his blessings on us to expand the time that it takes for us to reap the harvest that we have sown,

or he can just remove it and the smiting is not really from him.

It's from us.

We do it.

We bring it on ourselves.

It's our belief, our policies, or everything that we're doing in our lives that brings that to us.

He's just a dad going, no, that's a glass door.

Don't run into the glass door.

That's going to hurt.

That'll leave a mark.

I mean, that's all.

I think that's what he does.

And his system is so perfect that he tells us, don't do those things because this will happen.

And it's not him carrying out a judgment and looking at each of us and going, well, I think it's just automatic.

And only Jesus can,

only Jesus can take away the sin that we have.

But that doesn't mean the consequence isn't paid.

here in life.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Oh, no.

Is that our correct way to look at it?

Oh, yeah.

yeah.

You know,

Christ will always save us from our sins.

He does not always deliver us from our consequences

of those sins.

You know, if I say, Lord, I'm so sorry I've been disrespectful to my wife for 20 years of marriage.

I repent.

Please forgive me.

You can bet.

Forgiveness is issued.

That does not mean that my wife, whom, and I haven't done this, by the way, but that doesn't mean that my neglected wife is going to have warm feelings toward me.

I've damaged.

There's damage there.

And there's going to take time for reconciliation.

There are many prisoners imprisoned right now.

And they would themselves tell you, and they've told me this, they're forgiven.

They're going to heaven.

but they're going to serve out their sentence because they violated

the law that the country created.

So again, God forgives us for our sins.

He doesn't always deliver us immediately from the consequences.

What he does do is give us power to move forward.

As he removes the guilt, he also disempowers the devil who wants to keep us in that trap, in that stronghold.

But he'll give you power so that you don't make that same mistake again.

Axel Cato has been called America's pastor and the best preacher in America, and I tend to agree with those.

Let me give you two minutes here just to deliver any Christmas message that you feel compelled to do.

Oh, what a blessing.

Thank you.

Well, Jesus came to save us.

Colossians 1.19 says, God was pleased for all of himself to dwell in Christ.

So do you want to see the face of God?

Then look at the face of Jesus.

All the love of God was in Jesus.

All the strength of God was in Jesus.

All the compassion of God was in Jesus.

And God, for a time, was in the body of an earthly carpenter.

Jesus did this work for us to show us who God is and how much he loves us.

He saved us from the guilt of our sin, and we're being saved from the problem of our sin.

And upon return of Christ,

we will be saved from the punishment of our sin.

God saves.

Again, that's the name Jesus.

Now, that that gift is nothing if we don't accept it.

When I was a Boy Scout, I earned a life-saving merit badge.

I actually never saved anyone.

And the only people I saved were other Boy Scouts who didn't need to be saved, and that was during training sessions.

And I would tell them, quit kicking, let me save you.

I wonder how many times God is saying that today.

Maybe there's somebody even listening right now.

You're kicking against God.

You're straining against God.

You're fighting against God.

Maybe he's saying, why don't you just quit kicking?

Let me do the work.

Now, you can save yourself from a lot.

Maybe you can save yourself from running out of gas or going broke, but you're not good enough to save yourself from your sin.

You're not strong enough to save yourself from your death.

You need a savior.

But because of Bethlehem, you have one.

Max, Merry Christmas.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas to you, my friend.

All the very best.

Thank you.

Max Lucato.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

Liz Wheeler is filling in for Stu this week and can't thank you enough for that, Liz.

You know, we hadn't talked about Lily Phillips, the woman who was sleeping with 100 men in one day and then decides, I'm going to sleep with 1,000.

What is that?

It's sad.

It's so sad.

It's so many people are disgusted when they're watching.

She put out this documentary of her sleeping with a hundred men in 24 hours on X.

And I think it's really heartbreaking to see this girl, the impacts, the immediate impacts of this behavior on the girl.

I think we have a video actually of her reaction to this.

Let's play this first so people can get an idea of, you know, just how awful this is.

It's not for the weak girls, if I'm honest.

It was hard.

I don't know if I'd recommend it.

Why not?

I think if you're a different type of girl, it's very like

it's kind of like being a pro in a sense of like it's just a different

feeling.

I don't know how to explain it.

Like

it's not like just having sex with someone.

Yeah, yeah.

Just one in, one out, like it feels intense.

Like more intense than you thought it might and she begins to cry

oh

sorry

okay just take it

look at she walks out of the room crying

who can who could possibly think this is a good thing

who who didn't learn from just that moment uh

do you know what the problem is besides the obvious the problem is that we have reduced our culture has reduced sex or the morality standard standard for sex to just consent.

Well, she's consenting to this.

She said it was okay.

She was in full knowledge of what she did.

Therefore, it's not abusive.

Actually, the standard for sexual morality should be: is it loving and is it properly ordered?

And if you look at this documentary through that lens versus just, oh, she's a feminist who's being promiscuous because she wants to and she's profiting off of it.

Like, sure, those things are true, but it's also abusive.

And I think for the first time, people, because this was on X and not just on some, you know,

some

slimy website on the dark web, people are seeing what pornography actually is for the first time and they're disgusted by it.

How is she going from 100 now?

Isn't she saying she wants to sleep with a thousand men now?

Yeah, that's what she said.

What?

I hope someone talks her out of it before that.

I feel for this poor girl.

I know that she is inflicting this on herself, but it's also abuse being inflicted on her, and it should not be allowed.

Liz, thank you so much.

We'll see you tomorrow.

God bless.

May God save the Republic.
