Justice for Laken Riley: Americans Are DONE with Open-Border LIES | Guest: Dallas Jenkins | 11/21/24

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse, and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest-paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with a class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

Right now, the United States is relying on China for about 80% of our generic medications.

80%, which is a little bit terrifying when you look at everything that could possibly go wrong if China decides to turn the faucet off or if we have some global conflict, which is completely out of the picture.

You need the JACE case.

It's a personalized emergency kit that contains the essential antibiotics and medications that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections.

You have it, and you have the medicine in your home.

It provides five life-saving antibiotics for emergency use.

You just fill out a simple form online and you'll have it in your home just in case you need it.

It's great for vacation.

It's great for when, you know, you just can't get in to see the doctor or whatever.

You get them on the phone and he's like,

should I use this now?

They launched also an all-new compounded version of ivermectin for only $30, which brings that price way down.

It's an add-on for the Jace case.

You can add on any of your medications.

Great show just ahead.

Stand by on the hills.

You're no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.

Stand up straight and hold the light.

It's our new day, our time to rise.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

Guilty on all counts.

I think there's something deeply satisfying with this, something that is very emotional.

With the judge yesterday, guilty on all counts.

We'll talk about that in 60 seconds.

Lake and Riley finally gets justice.

Now let me tell you about Pre-Born.

There are people out there who wake up every morning and try to change the world, some for the worse, some for the better.

In the better camp are the people at Pre-Born and people like you.

Pre-born saves 200 babies every single day by offering free ultrasounds to expecting moms, doubling the baby's chance at life.

For just $28, you can sponsor an ultrasound.

Pre-born also supplies moms with diapers, car seats, counseling, and so much more for up to two years after that.

So let's keep it going.

There are babies in mothers' wombs right now who need your help.

As the year comes to a close, your tax-deductible donation can be the difference between life and death.

Would you consider $28 or $28 a month, or if you've had a great year, a leadership gift to save babies in a big way?

Your gift of $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 will be used to save countless babies.

And now, through a match, your gift is doubled.

To donate, just dial pound250, say the keyword baby, that's pound250, 250 k keyword baby or go to preborn calendar that's pre-born.com slash back all gifts are tax deductible and pre-born has a four-star charity rating fight fight fight for the babies sponsored by pre-born

so is that a new theme

it's like a different uh vibe on the same song that's uh it's not a new theme but it's something that I asked probably at the beginning before the election really kicked in and then I completely forgot about it I said make one sound a little like a, I don't know, like Pearl Jam.

And so this is a different one.

It sounded like Christmas, though.

Well, because it was

there in my inbox for months and months.

And somebody said, hey,

you want to use this before we don't use this theme anymore?

And I said, can you put Christmas bells behind it so it sounds like a Christmas version?

I like that.

Yeah.

So the,

because I was thinking about this, the theme the other day, because it's, we've been using the same song for about three years four years It's I think this one started right around COVID right right when

It was either yeah Biden came in or just before it must have been like 21.

Yeah, maybe because it was I feel like it was Biden, but like you it was at the time this idea that we if we didn't stand up Yeah, we were gonna lose the country and like hey look at this.

Maybe we did.

Yeah, that's why the theme is changing this year.

In January, we'll have a brand new theme.

But

I did.

I kept it.

You know, we don't ever, we always change our themes pretty quickly.

Yeah, do it pretty much every year.

Yeah.

And, you know, people have been like, oh, geez, this is the same theme.

Well, yeah, but there's different versions.

You might get mad if we keep it or

to be fair.

I know, I know.

But I kept it for the last four years because

I was hoping America would stand up.

Remind every day, you got to stand up.

You got to stand up.

And we did.

Now, we have to keep standing.

but

mission accomplished, gang.

I mean, really, good job.

And next year, I'm not going to tell you what the theme is, but next year the lyrics change, the music changes, and we're going kind of closer to the roots of America for the theme.

So, anyway.

Okay, so

yesterday, the judge

found

Lake and Riley's murderer guilty on all charges.

Now listen to this, but I want you to listen to this

and notice your reaction to it.

Maybe it's just me.

I don't know.

But listen to this and notice your reaction to it.

Go ahead.

Count one, malice murder.

I find the defendant guilty.

Count two, felony murder.

I find the defendant guilty.

Count three, felony murder.

I find the defendant guilty.

Count 4, felony murder.

I find the defendant guilty.

Count 5, kidnapping with bodily injury.

I find the defendant guilty.

Count 6, aggravated assault with intent to rape.

I find the defendant guilty.

Count 7,

aggravated battery.

I find the defendant guilty.

Count 8,

obstructing or hindering a 911 call.

I find the defendant guilty.

Count nine, tampering with evidence.

I find the defendant guilty.

Count ten, peeping Tom, I find the defendant guilty.

What are you feeling?

Could just be me.

What are you feeling?

What am I feeling?

Am I hearing that?

I mean, I'm happy that justice is at some level hitting this guy, but more just anger of how unnecessary it all was.

You know, the fact that

he got on a free flight to go to Georgia in the first place.

Yeah, no, the Biden administration

put him on one of those ghost flights in the middle of the night so he could live in Georgia.

Yeah.

And it cost this poor woman her life.

And, you know, she's just one prominent example.

This story has been told way too many times.

Here's what I feel.

First, emotional because you can hear the parents gasp and cry in the back.

And happy for them,

sad at the waist.

But also,

we're not going to take it anymore.

Justice is back.

That makes me feel good.

All this bull crap of all these poor immigrants that have come in uh they're not all bad this guy was in the venezuelan gang and so was his brother and you know how he tried to get off he tried to get off saying it was my brother not me and his brother was like no it it wasn't me it was my brother It was basically a version of the OJ defense.

Yes.

DNA can't really tell between me and my brother.

My brother, yeah, right.

And the reason why they had DNA is because it was under her fingernails as she scraped his arms, his face, and his back.

And they had pictures of the claw marks that she left on him.

So

justice is served.

Now, here's the other thing.

He's not going to get the death penalty.

Maybe life in prison, no chance of parole, but I don't even trust that stuff.

He's not going to get the death penalty.

Why?

Because the prosecutor, which was a Soros prosecutor, said that's not real justice.

Now, they're talking about

reversing that.

This new prosecutor, because I don't know if you know this, that prosecutor lost, I think, by 17 points.

It's over.

It's over.

Now, there are some states now that are saying, you know what?

This drives me out of my mind.

These people are so lacking of any kind of principles.

They change with the wind.

There are no principles.

Just a few, what, a month ago, two months ago, all of the cities, all of the people in the cities, from San Francisco to New York were saying, this is going to collapse our city.

We can't handle all of these people that have come across the borders.

They were sending them to Texas.

New York was taking people and sending them them from New York to Texas because they just couldn't handle it, like Texas could.

Okay?

Now

they've all changed overnight now.

Oh, we're going to protect these people.

How dare the big, bad government come in and try to take, we're just going to cuddle these people.

It's over, gang.

It's over.

And I hope that the president finds the constitutionally legal way to cut you off from every funding.

You want to play that game?

Fine.

Then your city doesn't get any federal dollars.

You want to do that?

That's fine.

Because you're costing all of us.

You're costing us money because you're going to ask for a federal bailout.

And the other part of that should be you're not getting one.

California, you want to play this game?

We're not going to pay for it.

I love California.

I think California is the most beautiful state in the

Union.

I've always, since a kid, I've always wanted to live in California.

The reason why I don't is because they're insane.

They're insane.

I don't want to live with the insanity and I know that I'll be impoverished in the end by it and so will all of my neighbors.

I don't want to live in that.

So I don't live in California because you want your California.

I live in Texas because I would like to have California more like Texas, but it's not.

So I live in Texas because I know the state won't impoverish me.

I know the state won't take all of my rights away from me.

I know they won't coddle criminals.

So I live in Texas.

Don't you dare come for a handout from me.

You made your bed.

You pay for it.

And if you want to keep criminals in your state, if you want to coddle those people, that's totally fine with me.

But I honestly believe maybe we should check your passports when you come across the border of California or New York.

Are you here legally?

Because if they leave those states, they should be arrested and deported.

And I don't want any of them moving into my city or my state.

But they're going to eventually.

And your people eventually are going to move to my state, and they're going to vote for the same damn things because they're too stupid to understand what caused their state to become like that.

I got to get to Florida.

Why are there no progressives we can vote for?

Because you haven't wrecked it yet.

I think, too, and I know you say this, you know, you want to deal with these people, fine.

In reality, of course, I know.

We have to.

It is a federal issue.

I mean, this is the left that prevented states like Arizona from implementing and enforcing immigration law because this has to be done at the federal level.

Well, hopefully Trump's about to show you what that looks like.

Yep.

And it should be done at the federal level.

So he will, I think, overrule and overrun some of these people who are trying to avoid the law in their local jurisdictions.

And he should do that.

You know, Glenn, one of the most frustrating things about the Lake and Riley thing is we talk about the borders being open, people flowing over all the time.

And that is awful.

And obviously the border at times can be difficult to

protect completely.

People are going to get across it at some level.

But we caught this guy.

This isn't an example of a guy sneaking across the border.

We caught him and then put him on the border.

We released him into the country.

He got arrested multiple more times while he was here.

We still gave him a free flight.

We still put him up in the Roosevelt Hotel with free lodging.

And then we sent him to Georgia with a free flight.

He got arrested there with his brother.

We still kept releasing him.

And then after all of that, he murdered this poor woman.

It's not even a case where like, okay, this is difficult.

I get that.

That can happen.

This one's not.

This is not what that is.

And it happens over and over and over again.

And God, if we could just stop some of those.

Yeah.

Talking about standing up.

Maybe we could at least stop some of those.

We are going to.

We are going to.

That's what we voted for.

We voted for an end of all of this.

By the way, have you heard that the DOJ has just put a paper shredder truck outside of the FBI office?

I swear to you, if they shred anything that we need and they're like, we lost it.

We shredded it.

We don't know what happened to it.

put them in jail don't fire them put them in jail

it is time that we say it to this government enough is enough

we're going to live by the laws of the land

and that includes all of this red tape bull crap

all of it

You want that law, pass it through Congress, not through some bureaucrat that we don't even know who they are.

We never voted for them.

Why do they rule over our life?

By the way, the House Ethics Committee has decided not to release the Gates investigation.

Okay, at least temporarily.

They're not sure because it's not finished.

Now, the DOJ finished it over two years ago.

Okay?

This has got to stop.

I don't know if Matt Gates is guilty or innocent of what they accuse him of.

I have no idea.

But just like Brett Kavanaugh, this smearing of people

has got to stop.

If he's guilty, charge him,

make sure he has a fair trial and let the chips fall where they may.

But they won't charge.

They're not charging because they know that the people who are including the women,

they know that they are not trustworthy.

The DOJ, this is the biggest opponent of the DOJ.

He's got real teeth on the DOJ.

So all of a sudden the DOJ finds these accusations.

Okay, all right, maybe he did them.

Then investigate.

And if you don't have enough to charge him, then you shut your mouth.

Now you might continue to investigate, but you shut your mouth.

When you have enough to charge, then charge.

We're not a country that should allow for another day the smearing of individuals based on stuff that is not chargeable.

They've made this guy practically into a pedophile.

Wait, what it what it what it

where do you go to get your reputation back?

Because if they can do it to him, they'll do it to you.

Now, he may not be, I don't think he is a saint.

I think he's a long way away from a saint.

But I don't know who to believe.

That's for a jury to decide.

But once somebody is charged, not investigated, charged,

if this, the Democrats or some of the sleazy Republicans decide to release this, all of those people should either be impeached or we should primary them.

Because this kind of stuff has got to stop.

Does it mean we let some bad guys get away?

Yes.

But wouldn't you rather have one bad guy get away than one good person get smeared and their life destroyed?

That is justice.

Back in just a second.

If you're living with pain in your life, I want to talk to you about Relief Factor.

You're tired of giving up and giving things up.

Everybody else around just blasts through their day like it's nothing, and there you are, having to try to catch up to them when you can because you hurt.

I get it.

That's why I found Relief Factor.

My wife made me try it.

From Cheyenne Grace's new album,

Home for Christmas, which will be released on Black Friday, wherever you get your music.

You can also go to Glenbeck Christmas now.

We have a few things up for the first time for Christmas.

In fact, let me...

Is it GlenbeckChristmas.com?

Yeah, Glenbeckchristmas.com.

Let me see if I can go there and show you what's on it.

I know there's a painting that I did.

It's my first really serious, straight-up painting of Christ, which, oh my gosh, I started that like, you know, I think I can

painting a Christ.

Oh, my gosh, the pressure on that is like enormous, enormous.

But the original sold just recently, and you can get the G-Clay.

on that now for a reasonable price

at Glenbeckchristmas.com.

It comes with a letter about my testimony on Christ and everything else, and it's personally signed by me.

There's other paintings, G-Clays, that are available.

There's Cheyenne's Christmas album.

There's also something that I can't believe the response on this.

We've made it into cups and mugs.

We've made it into t-shirts, and you can get the G-Clay.

It is

the real Captain America.

It's a painting I just did of of George Washington, kind of in a Captain America kind of feel.

And

it's great.

You can get the t-shirt, the mug, whatever you want, including, I believe, the original may be up for sale.

But you can get the declays.

You can also get all the sick twisted freak paraphernalia as well.

Okay, so what actually matters to you?

Family matters, right?

Faith matters.

By the way, don't let me forget to talk about family, the stuff that's going on with families that people are like, I ain't going to go to Thanksgiving.

Oh, gosh.

Living a life of integrity matters.

Forgiveness matters.

America matters.

That's what we stood up for.

American Giant was created 13 years ago because

The people that run American Giant, they know, they agree with you.

America matters.

And to save a clothing factory in North Carolina, the jobs were saved.

The employees could continue to do work.

That saved this town.

American giant manufacturing.

American manufacturing matters.

American giant manufacturing means that the people that grow cotton in our country, they sell it to American giant.

It's processed here.

It's woven here.

It's dyed here with American ink.

It's sewn and caught and it's cut and sewn and it's all American giant.

Countdown to the next aviation disaster.

Before you get on a plane and go see, well, maybe after you come home, maybe.

The FAA is completely out of control.

completely out of control.

And we put Stu in a plane and have him fly all over the country

to talk to the FAA and others that are fighting against what they're doing because there is a major disaster that is right around the corner because of DEI.

We've had how many near misses

documentation of them.

Do you show the video of them?

Yeah, there's video.

Like the footage of the

stations, just And also the planes.

There's

video of planes that are landing.

This just happened to me.

My gosh, I completely forgot about this.

Really?

This just happened to me.

I was landing in

maybe Fort Myers.

We were landing in Fort Myers, and we were coming down, and we were maybe 100 feet from the runway, you know, from land.

All of a sudden, we just

and rocketed up because they put another plane on that runway right in front of us.

And it was like, what are you doing?

And this is happening all over the country.

Yeah, all the time.

And, you know, there's a bunch of different reasons for it.

We go through them in the documentary, which is available, I guess, to stream now at blazetv.com.

But what's fascinating about it is, you know, there's also the whole aspect of DEI and how the people who are, you know, not only overworked, these, these air traffic controllers, they're totally understaffed, overworked.

But also they are there.

One of the reasons why all of this has happened is they've just stopped blocking essentially white males from getting these jobs.

And we go through that whole process.

People who, you know, sue who are suing the government now to get all this overturned.

They caught them, though.

This is not like questionable.

I'll go through all the evidence in the documentary, but it is

shocking.

Let me ask you something.

Would you want

a doctor who was white

if the best doctor was black or Asian?

Of course not.

Of course not.

No one would.

Why would you say, oh, on this airplane

or in the seat that decides when and what runway that airplane lands or its course?

Why would you not want the best person?

It is a matter of life and death.

This DEI stuff is, it is, it's death.

It should be DIE

because it is all about death.

In the end, that's what happens when you have unqualified people building bridges, flying planes, being your, your

eyes in the sky.

That's what happens.

I talked to a guy in the documentary who took the merit-based test to become an air traffic controller and got a 100 on it.

100.

Perfect score.

Right.

Perfect score.

Then they added another test called

the biographical exam.

Really?

Yes.

And it had really weird questions.

We go through the test.

Like something like,

did you perform well in science in high school?

And you think, all right, well, I can kind of see why they'd ask that question, right?

Like, if you have a scientific mind, maybe you're an analytical mind, you know.

But I bet you they score you lower if you did well in high school.

You know these people too well.

If you say, yes, I did well in science in high school, you get penalized because that, to them, and I think this is a racist assumption, but to them, you're less likely to be a minority if you did well in science in high school.

So you get punished for doing well

in a subject that obviously would relate to what you're doing.

Can you imagine if the question was,

did you do well at basketball when you were in high school?

Are you good at tap dancing?

Can you imagine?

At least it would be a positive attribute and not a negative one.

But you would immediately say,

you're good at tap dancing.

You were in drama.

Maybe you're gay.

Tap dancing, I don't know.

It's stereotypical black.

You know, I mean, from the 1940s, but still.

You would go, what does that question mean?

Why is that being asked?

You did well in basketball.

Why is that question being asked?

This is just, that's blatant racism.

This is

subtle racism, unless you know you get downgraded by saying, yes, I was good at science.

Right.

And if normally you'd be like, yeah.

And of course, this is unfair to, let's say, a white male who was good at science.

But you know who else it's unfair to?

A black female who was good at science.

Yes.

Right.

Like they were actually punishing people who did,

who had good performance in school so that they couldn't get these jobs.

And so this guy who went through this entire process, wasted years of his life,

winds up not getting the job and now is suing the government over it, thankfully, to expose.

And that's how they've exposed a lot of this.

But we go through all of this on the documentary.

It is called, what is it?

Countdown to the next.

Countdown is it?

The next disaster, I think.

Aviation disaster.

I shouldn't know the title.

Oh, here it is.

Countdown to the next aviation disaster.

It's available at Blazoriginals.com slash stew.

If you use the promo code DEI, you'll save 30 bucks in your annual.

And you know what?

What's really, actually, really good about this is this is

this is the end of it.

This is hopefully the end of it.

Now, they have done everything they can to bury DEI deeply into all of our agencies, so you can't cut it out.

But it's got to go.

It absolutely, we have to be merit-based.

I don't want to drive on a bridge that didn't have have the best engineers.

Right.

Okay.

You know why the doors are blowing off of Boeing planes and wheels are falling off?

Because they got rid of all of the engineers.

Hello?

It's life and death.

Gosh, what are we even thinking?

You know who's really going to be?

Are you a computer?

Are you AI?

Can you put this little puzzle together so I know you're not a computer?

Okay.

Would you do that if AI, who is now outperforming doctors on cancer tests, would you be like, I don't want my human doctor to not have a job, so

I don't care.

My doctor says I don't have cancer.

AI says I do have cancer.

I'm not going to test.

I'm not going to test.

I believe the doctor could

jobs.

Because of jobs.

You would never do that.

Your life is at stake.

You want the best results.

My gosh, what is it?

It seems obvious.

And it's obviously central to what made America great in the first place.

Yes.

Right?

Yes.

We cared about merit, and we are going away from that.

So, have you?

We have to get into this.

There is a great article up, and you can find it in our show prep today.

You just go to glennbeck.com, look for my daily show prep.

It's free, but you should get that every day because it's really, really good.

But there is a letter now from

Vivek Ramaswamy on what Doge is going to do.

Yeah, and Elon Musk, right?

And Elon Musk.

And it is so good.

It's inspiring.

Yeah.

It makes me actually optimistic, which is rare.

Yeah.

Let me just give you a little bit of it.

We'll get into it later.

But President Trump has asked the two of us to lead a newly formed government of government, sorry, Department of Government Efficiency, or Doge, which I love, to cut the federal government down to size.

The entrenched and ever-growing bureaucracy represents an existential threat to our republic and politicians, notice not democracy, our republic.

And politicians have abetted it for too long.

That's why we're doing things differently.

We are entrepreneurs, not politicians.

We will serve as outside volunteers, not federal officials or employees.

Unlike government commissions or advisory committees, we won't just write reports or cut ribbons.

We're going to cut costs.

We're assisting the Trump transition team to identify and hire a lean team of small government crusaders, including some of the sharpest technical and legal minds in America.

We will focus particularly on driving change through executive action based on existing legislation rather than passing new laws.

Our North Star will reform, on reform, will be the U.S.

Constitution with a focus on two critical Supreme Court rulings that have been issued during President Biden's tenure.

West Virginia versus Environmental Protection Agencies.

The justices held that agencies cannot impose regulations dealing with major economic or policy questions unless Congress specifically authorizes them to do so.

In Loperbright v.

Raymondo, the court overturned the Chevron Doctrine, which held that federal courts should no longer defer to federal agency interpretations of the law or their own rulemaking authority.

Together, these cases suggest that the plethora of current federal regulations exceed the authority Congress has granted under the law.

DOGE will work with these legal experts embedded in government agencies, aided by advanced technologies.

That's interesting.

To apply these rulings to federal regulations enacted by such agencies.

Doge will present this list of regulations to President Trump, who can, by executive action, immediately pause the enforcement of those regulations and initiate the process for review.

This will liberate individuals and businesses from illicit regulations never passed by Congress and stimulate the U.S.

economy.

Now, they go on to say, once they cut all these regulations,

what are all those people in the agencies going to do?

Because they won't have to enforce these regulations.

A lot of the bureaucracy is just going to be sitting around twiddling their fingers.

So they say, the next step is, first, we're going to fire everybody.

Do you know that I think it's like 80% of the government buildings now are still empty because of COVID?

People are not going into work.

Federal employees are not going into work.

They're still allowed to stay at home.

You know,

that was called

Essential Workers Only.

That tells me 80% of our government, they're not really essential.

If you're not showing up to work and you haven't been to work since 2021, I don't think anybody's going to miss you.

I mean, some of them are working at home, obviously, in theory.

In theory.

In theory.

Right.

And what I think is interesting about this, Glenn, this approach, is if you can do this

and you wind up, say, let's say cutting half the staff of an agency,

it's tough to get rid of a program because Congress has maybe authorized it.

And maybe they've authorized a billion dollars to serve

a million people.

If you can go in there, there though and serve those same million people, but the cost is only, let's say, $500 million instead of a billion, if you can do that, then when you go to re-up that program, you no longer need to request that much money.

And like it will, you can get massive, not only one year savings, but year after year after year after year on these programs.

And that's just one way that they're going to be able to cut if they can do this.

And I don't know.

Reading this, I'm pretty optimistic about it.

I know.

Even without relying on what the, you know, the Supreme Court question will have to decide, Doge will help end federal overspending by taking aim at the $500 billion plus annual federal expenditures that are unauthorized by Congress or being used in ways that Congress never intended.

Okay.

$500, half a trillion dollars just on doing things that, no, we're not going to pay for Planned Parenthood.

That was never Congress's intention.

We're not doing anything.

Including, you ready?

The $535 million a year to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Finally, PBS.

And the $1.5 billion for grants to international organizations to nearly $300 million to progressive groups like Planned Parenthood.

That's one of the things they just want to cut right off the bat.

That was never authorized by Congress.

It's over.

We'll get into this later today, or you can read it at Glennbeck.com.

Just grab today's newsletter.

It's great.

It's from the Wall Street Journal: The Doge Plan to Reform Government.

Back in just a second.

For a moment, I want you to think about what it would look like to be out of debt.

I

hate debt.

I lose sleep over two things, and only two things:

my family and debt.

Those two things keep me awake all night, tossing and turning.

If you have high interest credit cards, I don't know how you sleep because

it's impossible to get.

And I know because I've been there before.

You're talking about something that can now help you offset some of the cost of inflation if you could get that debt down, the high interest debt.

It's not a fantasy.

It could be your reality if you call American Financing.

They've been helping people just like you for two years.

Sarah, you saved 5,000.

You called them just last week, right?

Two weeks ago?

Yeah, it was super fast, super easy.

Okay.

And if they weren't, if they, if you didn't say you worked for me, it would have been quick.

It would have been less.

But they were like, oh, we love Glenn.

I love that.

They're so great.

Don't tell them that.

I mean, tell them that I sent you, but say, I'm not sure.

I don't know him personally and whatever.

American Financing, you're going to love the people there.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

All right, here's a question for you.

Are you ready to secure the future of your American values for generations to come?

And you know whether or not your investments are aligned with that goal.

Donald Trump won.

We've turned a corner.

That's great.

But the work, of course, doesn't stop there.

There's a ton of leftist nonsense to root out.

Did you see the Jaguar ad this week?

You could see the world that we live in.

Constitutional wealth can empower you to take a stand.

It reduces the grip that ESG and DEI and CRT and CEI have on your investments.

It secures your family's future with a rock-solid investment plan that avoids all that nonsense.

It puts you behind the wheel so that you're able to steer things in the direction that you actually want to go, not just the direction that other people are going to pick for you.

Would you like to minimize the amount of money going to things like abortion or anti-family policies or, you know, just companies that annoy you?

I mean, this is some pretty standard stuff, right, that you'd want.

You would want your investments to align with your belief system.

A lot of people, it's just not the truth because you just wind up buying some fund that, you know, is investing in all these companies that you can't stand.

Well, Constitution Wealth can help you by divesting your money from corporations that mock your values.

Your investments are some of the most powerful weapons you have to fight the culture war, and that's what the parallel economy is all about.

Constitution wealth is part of it, they can partner with you to understand your conservative patriotic values and figure out which way you want to go with your investments.

everybody's waiting for the

ge and grace home for the home for christmas

um

and it's weird i'm so used to saying home for the holidays And intentionally, we named it Home for Christmas.

I don't know if you saw this, but there was a Democratic strategist that was on with a former Obama advisor on a podcast.

And she came up with why

Kamala Harris's episode on Caller Daddy failed.

And she said, well, that's because, I mean, you know,

she was talking about too much politics.

And instead, they should have done more of, you you know, what Caller Daddy

does.

Now,

I'd just like to.

Okay.

The interview was 44 minutes long.

The average interview for Caller Daddy is about, I think,

about seven, but sometimes she does longer form.

Over the years, she's done a longer form with ex-porn star, Playboy Bunny,

and TikToker Madison Lewis.

Well, what are you going to...

I mean, first of all, that's all about sex.

And I don't want to hear a single question or answer about sex or hotness from Kamala Harris or Donald Trump or any of them.

Quite frankly, thank you.

Would have been a disaster.

What meat are you serving for the holiday season for your family?

Finest quality American beef, chicken, pork, seafood?

The meat is delicious.

Mike and Alyssa are always trying to outdo each other.

When Alyssa got a small water bottle, Mike showed up with a four-liter jug.

When Mike started gardening, Alyssa started beekeeping.

Oh, come on.

They called it truce for their holiday and used Expedia Trip Planner to collaborate on all the details of their trip.

Once there, Mike still did more laps around the pool.

Whatever.

You were made to outdo your holidays.

We were made to help organize the competition.

Expedia, made to travel.

I don't think we should forget this.

We go there in 60 seconds.

Mantis X, there's a sign in a restroom hanging right there where you can see it.

It says, my aim is to keep this bathroom clean.

Your aim will help.

Truer words were never spoken.

I guess when you were a kid, it would have helped to have a little device to show where that aim was going, but now you got it down because you practice every day.

If you have a gun and you want your aim accurate, you have to practice all the time.

Now, doing that

with a gun and not racking up huge expenses in ammunition is really tough.

Mantis X has just made it super easy.

This is a high-tech, easy-to-use system used widely widely by the military.

This is different than shooting at a target.

You can aim it at anything.

You can aim it at a corner of a room and it will tell you what you're doing wrong.

How steady is your hand.

When you go to pull the trigger, even if you're dry firing, what happens to the gun?

Are you pulling it down, pulling it to the left, the right?

What happens to the aim?

And it shows you in real time after you've connected it through Bluetooth to either your phone or your tablet.

So, Stu, how old were you in 1985?

I was nine.

You were nine.

So you were probably just, you remember Reagan, clearly.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, back to the future, one of my all-time favorite movies came out in November 5th, 1980, right?

1955, 1985.

right?

That was the year that it took place.

Okay.

And I remember that distinctly.

And do you have real memories of the Cold War?

Yeah, for sure.

I mean, of course, Rocky IV, the movie that ended the Cold War.

Outside of movies.

I mean, that's how you accept those timelines in your life.

So there was a guy that I don't know if you would have remembered.

He was a comedian, and he came from around the Iron Curtain.

And he and his family got out of the former Soviet Union.

He became a huge hit at the time because we really didn't see former Soviet citizens, and especially ones that could tell jokes.

And his name was Yakov Smirnov.

Oh, yeah.

You remember him?

Oh, yeah.

I just saw something from him

the other day about Thanksgiving.

And I haven't seen this.

I don't know if I even saw it in 1985, but it's worth listening to.

Here he is, Yakov Shmirnov,

just fresh from the Soviet Union, talking about Thanksgiving.

Listen to this.

It's Thanksgiving, and I'll tell you, it's my favorite holiday.

I like parades without missiles.

When I first was explained about Thanksgiving in America, I said, wait a minute, it doesn't make sense.

I mean, for every freedom and all the opportunities that you got here, the only thing you got to say is thanks.

It just didn't seem like it was enough.

My parents and I had our first Thanksgiving dinner in a little apartment in New York.

And we joined hands, and my father said a prayer to good food and our health.

And then something happened.

Instead of releasing our hands, we couldn't let go.

We kept holding on to each other tighter and tighter, and we realized we were together and we were free, really free.

And here we were, three grown people,

looking for a way we could possibly show our appreciation,

and we couldn't.

Now I know what it is.

Thanks.

good night

if you're watching it

you can see that he tears up at the end he

there's no words to express thanks

and we have lost

we've lost that the deep deep gratitude for our lives

I have felt it over the last year, unlike I've ever felt gratitude for

my freedom, my safety, my family's safety, being born here,

and now, especially after the election, you know, God,

miracles can happen in your life all the time.

Just, quote, chance encounters.

Is it a chance encounter?

Or...

Is that an answer to a prayer?

Is that divine providence?

Miracles come when there's really no other explanation, when something that just

you all have agreed that just can't happen happens.

Donald Trump getting shot at

so close that the camera picks the bullet up.

speeding toward his head and just before it goes into his head he moves his his head in a way he never does before and it clips his ear instead of going right into the temple

that doesn't happen that doesn't happen

to have a politician or a guy

who is constantly beat on constantly smeared had more

investigations done on him than I and I believe this to be true.

I'd love to see an actual study on this.

Somebody who had had more investigations, more

spies on him, more

going through the trash and

everything else, more than anyone else in human history by far, because every spy agency

in the world did that.

And then they went back and said, there's got to be something else.

For him to just continue to stand, and then when somebody tries to kill him, his first response is stand up

and then for him not to be angry

but instead to be humbled

What are the odds there

for him to continue to go on and in fact continue to stand?

Do you know

his plane was targeted his plane was targeted.

We know that there are surface-to-air missiles.

We know that he was going to be targeted by foreign entities that are here.

For him to get on, just get on his plane every time, the man knew he was risking his life.

For him to run the campaign that he ran in the last eight months, you remember what it was like?

It was all, you know, they're after me and all of this stuff because they were after him.

But did you notice after the assassination attempt, when he could have said, ah,

instead,

he had a much more uniting message and a happier message and a positive message.

And then for all of these people to come out of the woodwork and start to say, you know what?

This is evil.

I heard more talk from people who are not Christians.

More talk from people going, there is something seriously wrong.

And I think it's evil, what's going on.

America woke up.

I've been doing this for 50 years on the radio, almost 50 years.

I've been doing this warning people for 24 years.

I didn't think you'd wake up.

Stu's brought it up.

You know, our theme is, you know, stand up.

We wrote that theme four years ago because if you don't stand up, we're done.

And we put that on and I tried to make that an encouraging thing to convince people, you got to stand up right now.

We're going to lose everything.

You got to stand up.

It's okay to stand up.

It's the only way.

You stood up.

After 24 years of the same message coming from me in different ways,

where I had lost hope.

I mean, I said to you all last year, we got to find God.

We got to be people where God thinks, you know what?

They're worth saving.

I said to you over and over again, I can come up with a million ways this is going to go wrong, but there's only one path for it to succeed, and that is God.

And he showed up.

He showed up.

He's not done with us.

He should be.

Honestly, he should be.

With everything that we do,

for as big as a miracle that is, I think a lot of people.

I mean, I heard it right after the election.

Wow, that was a miracle.

And people meant it as a literal miracle.

That's that was a miracle.

Yeah,

it was.

Next week, will we even remember it by next Thursday?

Or will we make the holiday that

was built to humble ourselves and to thank God for our blessings?

Will we even remember the massive miracle?

Stu, would you agree?

One of the biggest miracles you've seen in your life for America?

I mean,

that was a miracle that that happened.

In the way that it did, all of a sudden the messaging was right.

All of the right things fell into place.

You know, for the first time ever, the GOP was serious on their ground game.

I mean, all of these things that happened.

I thought you were just referring to him turning his head.

Yeah.

And that, all of that.

From that moment on,

all of that was a miracle.

Let's not forget that next week.

He's not done with us.

You know, I heard somebody say to me on Election Day, I feel really good.

I feel really good.

I'm cautious, but I feel really good.

And here's why.

Why would he,

recognizing the miracle of the assassination attempt,

why would he save Donald Trump only to not save it now?

I couldn't think of a reason.

Other than I don't understand the mind of God.

Think of this miracle.

If Donald Trump would have won in 2020, it would have been more of the first term.

We wouldn't get what we're about to get now.

We wouldn't get the reduction of the government.

We wouldn't get possibly the closing down of some agencies, of cutting these agencies in half.

We wouldn't have gotten those things.

We wouldn't have had Elon Musk.

We wouldn't have had Vivek Ramaswamy.

We wouldn't have known.

Remember, they didn't start cutting our children until the Biden administration.

None of us had any idea about all this transgender stuff because that and DEI, if you brought it up, it wasn't being done at least as openly, but it was all set to go.

It wasn't being done until Biden got in.

And then when we said, what the hell is all this?

They said it was a conspiracy theory.

And it took us three years to go, no, it's not.

It's not a conspiracy theory.

And it's deadly.

It took us three years before the doctors even started to turn.

It took COVID to wake people up.

There is no bad.

There really, my father used to say this to me: Glenn, there is no bad.

It's what do you do with the bad things that happen to you?

You can either wallow in and say, oh, that was bad,

or you could recognize that sucked, but what did I learn from it?

What did I take?

How can I take that and turn that into a blessing?

COVID was a blessing in the end because it woke people

up.

Tomorrow I have some surgery.

Then I go on vacation.

It's not a big surgery.

It's just I have facial surgery again because I guess I'm out of room on my face for more cancer.

So they got to take some cancer off my face so it can grow new cancer.

I don't know what

this never ends.

But

this is my last chance to talk to you before Thanksgiving.

And this is

my last chance before Thanksgiving to sincerely thank the Lord for showing up, for sincerely blessing our country,

for showing me a miracle, two.

One that I saw in North Carolina where people were standing because God told them, come from across the country.

I know you don't know anybody.

I know you don't think you're going to be able to make a difference, but just go.

And they got in their cars and they drove across the country.

And those people were put to work in ways that I couldn't have served, maybe you couldn't have served, but they actually did it.

And God worked a miracle.

And then he worked this.

Please,

even if it is just holding the hands around the table, just for an extra minute,

there is nothing that we can say to him

more meaningful than just

thank you.

Thank you, Lord, for an incredible experience.

Thank you for letting us live at this time

to be in your service.

Thank you for waking us up.

Thank you for giving us the reason to stand.

Happy Thanksgiving.

10 Seconds Station ID.

We're gliding along with the song of a wintry fairy land.

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring, ting, tingling.

So because I was on YouTube and I saw the Yakov Shmirnov,

next, it just auto-fed Norm McDonald.

And I just found this.

It's not timely, but I just found this really, really funny from Norm McDonald Cup 2.

There is one country that worries me, though.

Not Iraq, not Iran, not North Korea.

The only country that really worries me is the country of Germany.

I don't know if you guys are history buffs or not, but

in the early part of the previous century, Germany decided to go to war.

And who did they go to war with?

The world.

It had never been tried before.

And so you figure that would take about five seconds for the world to win, but no, it was actually close.

Then about 30 years pass and Germany decides again to go to war and again it chooses as its enemy the world.

And this time they have that guy.

Skrankly, crankily, that guy.

I'm not even going to dignify him by saying his name, but I think you know I'm done.

But you'd think at that point the world will go, listen, Germany, here's the deal.

You don't got to be a country no more

on account of you keep attacking the world.

It's a fair point.

Oh, yeah.

You know, when he first came out, I didn't find him funny.

On Saturday Night Live, he would do,

wasn't he the news desktop?

And he was so dry, and I was much younger and really didn't understand his humor.

I thought, this guy is lousy.

He is, he's hysterical.

I was so wrong.

He was hysterical.

Yeah,

and he's like the comedian's comedian of all time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like every comedian thinks he's the greatest thing of all time.

And he's pretty great.

And is that because he was such a nice guy, too?

I do think people liked him, but I think it was also just like he kept doing it.

Like, you know, his departure from Saturday Night Live famously had to do with him just continually continually telling OJ jokes, despite the fact that OJ had really good friends at the network.

Yeah.

And he just kept doing it and doing it and doing it and would not stop and would not give in.

And then eventually it cost him his job.

But, you know, that kind of sounds familiar.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Don't say that anymore.

Don't say that anymore.

Don't say that anymore.

Sucks to be you.

You know, I like people like that.

I think people like those stories.

I do too.

I do too.

All right.

I want to continue our conversation on Thanksgiving here in just a second

because there's a couple of things where the view ladies, again, but something else bigger than that.

They're telling you to skip your family gatherings if your family voted differently.

All right, let me tell you about relief factor sleep.

A lot of things that may keep you from going to sleep at night.

Maybe you're, you know, you're going to their family's or someplace and you're going to be sleeping on a really uncomfortable bed or one that you don't know.

It's like a Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball bed.

You're like, how did people fit on these beds?

Maybe it's because I'm fatter now.

But

we are looking now at

a time where we got to get our sleep.

You might have a hard time sleeping.

We're a short few weeks away from, you know, what we could be living in, the handsmaid's tale.

Gosh, that would keep me up at night if I believed that.

Maybe you believe it, or I have a friend who believes that.

Give them Relief Factor.

Try it yourself.

Tanya takes it every night.

I take it, I've been taking it every night lately, but it's all natural.

There's not a drug.

It doesn't dope you up.

You don't, it's, it's just like, it's not Benadryl or anything, you know, stronger than that.

It's just not.

It's natural.

And it works for me.

But I thought I'd ask you just the same.

What are you doing,

New Year's

New

Year's Earth?

Wonder who So the holidays

are such an important time for us to be able to come back together

at the table.

And there are people on all sides saying,

I can't get back together with my family.

Let me tell you something.

My family has

my traditional family, you know, from way back when I was growing up,

my family.

And now my family extended and even, you know, with me and my kids, we've gone through really rough times.

The last few years have been just

deadly to my family.

And we are in the struggle of holding absolutely everything together.

And it is hard, but it is worth it in the end.

My biggest fear, honestly, is becoming my dad.

I always wanted to be my dad in many ways because he was always very open-minded and he was really, really brilliant.

He always questioned everything, he was very tolerant,

and he was hardworking.

But in the end,

he just became very, very bitter.

And

the family, I mean, he just blew up the family at the end.

And my biggest fear is becoming my father.

And I just

was awake all last night just thinking about that.

All night.

I tossed and turned for maybe three hours just thinking about that.

Because our family is just, we're having, you know, problems.

And

all I want

is my family to

be together.

Be together for the holidays, be together for Christmas.

And even if we're mad at each other or whatever, still just

family is the only thing you have at the end of your life.

That's it.

And so people are now encouraging others, the ladies on the view, at At least they disagreed on this, on skipping family Thanksgiving.

Play cut 12.

Let me just play this real quick.

Whatever your reason is, I would never let my politics be the reason I don't show up to see my family because they won't always be there.

I'm going to disagree.

I completely understand her point because I really do feel that this candidate,

you know, President-elect Trump, is just a different type of candidate.

From the things he's said and the things he's done and the things he will do, it's more of a moral issue for me.

And I think it's more of a moral issue for other people.

We're just, you know,

I would say it was different when, let's say, Bush got elected.

You know, you may not have agreed with his policies, but you didn't feel like he was a deeply flawed person, deeply flawed by power.

Flawed in morality.

A lot of devs called him a lot.

But it's been

a bit you got to say.

So

going back and forth on this, first of all,

if

no matter which side you're on,

I think we can say it's a moral issue on both sides.

You can say it's a moral issue.

He's Hitler.

Well, he's not.

But if you really believe he's Hitler, it's a deeply moral issue.

But it was a deeply moral issue on our side, too.

Your candidate was for killing babies all the way up until and in some cases

after birth.

There can't be a bigger moral issue.

Your candidate was going after people

because they disagreed with them.

They called Catholics and parents showing up at parent meetings at school and called them terrorists.

It was a deeply moral issue for us, too.

You're mutilating children.

So don't take the moral high ground that you were the only ones that thought it was a moral issue.

We did too.

We just disagreed.

Now, what does that have to do with me being your father,

your uncle, or

your brother,

your dad?

What does that have to do with anything?

Because this too shall pass, but what won't pass ever throughout all of the eternities is our relationship with one another.

We have become

so small

that

we think that

this is the most important thing.

It's not.

Do you know who Shamika Michelle is?

She's on the Jason Whitlock show.

Yeah.

She posted something the other day.

She said, I have a, air quotes, friend who wasn't sure how to hold space for me, those are in quotes, as someone who supported Trump.

After the election, she stated she needed to protect her peace, and we haven't spoken since.

When she comes to her senses, I know she will,

should I welcome her back with open arms?

Because honestly, I'm thinking about giving her the finger like...

F you, after everything we've been through, you sided with baby killers and those willing to castrate castrate kids.

Go to hell.

She asked for thoughts.

And so, Shamika, if I may, I understand how you feel.

I really do.

I really, really do.

But I think maybe because my family has been divided politically for so long because of what I do.

You know, it started way before, you know, it started with Barack Obama.

No, it started with George Bush.

And so I've been going going through this the whole time that I've kind of built up maybe a little bit more armor.

Whatever.

Whatever.

It doesn't, whatever.

This is not important.

I'm not going to argue with you.

And I'm not going to try to change your mind.

I'm going to try to be a peacemaker.

You know, last one of the holidays, no, it was during our family reunion.

There are two members of my family that vote radically different than me and see life radically different than I do.

But I love them.

They're good people.

I just love them.

And, you know, they were like,

you know, Uncle Glenn,

we can talk to you.

We just want to understand some things.

And I'm like, good, because I want to understand some things too.

And we just had a really good, open conversation where neither of us were trying to win.

We were just trying to understand each other.

Because we knew in the end, we will always be related to each other.

And I don't have enough family to blow them off.

You know, it's not like my grandfather, I think my grandmother had 18 children.

14 of them lived.

And

I don't have that.

I have two sisters.

I have a few nieces and nephews.

I have two grandchildren.

I have four children.

I don't have enough.

They're all valuable to me.

I would ask,

and

it will be easier for us because

we're the winners this time.

So it'll be easier for us to say, you know, get over it.

What's the big deal?

It's still a big deal to people.

And you really have to understand, you know, if you've read my book, Propaganda Wars, You know the brainwashing that has gone on.

I mean, we talk about it in the book and we show you how to dismantle that in your own life to make sure you're not a part of it, you're not spreading it and it hasn't affected you,

how to find the truth.

These people, I actually feel sorry for not the ones who know what they're doing, but for the ones who actually believe that

they're going to round people up that disagree with them.

Because I will be on the front lines, and I think you could probably say this too.

If they started rounding people up because they disagreed,

I will be on your side.

I will stand with you.

They start violating the Bill of Rights, and it is in gross ways.

I am with you.

I'm for the Bill of Rights.

I'm for all of your rights.

I hope you're for all of mine.

We're going to disagree on policies.

We're going to disagree on how to get there.

But my there should be your there.

I believe all men are free.

All men are created equal.

You know, you come into this world equal.

You leave equal.

You leave with nothing except what you've done in your life and how you lived your life.

Who you worshipped.

How you worshipped.

Did you serve?

Did you ask for forgiveness?

Did you work that forgiveness in your life?

I have more stuff in my life to apologize for than to

pat myself on the back or say, well, thank you.

It was a great thing I did.

I have many more things to apologize for than any of that.

We're all flawed.

We're all just trying to figure it out.

We don't want to control people's lives.

Don't miss this opportunity.

Be the peacemaker.

Blessed be the peacemakers.

But remember, peacemakers are the ones who stand up for other people's long-term peace.

You may have to say things that are true, that are tough.

Don't give any ground on truth,

but there might be other ways to say the truth that they can hear it.

And you don't have to say everything.

But if you want to be a peacemaker in your life, you have to stand for what is true, universally true.

So others, our children, our children's children, can have peace in their day.

That's what it means to be a peacemaker.

But when it comes to your family,

don't ever listen to anybody who says, don't talk to your family.

That's what cults do.

More in a minute.

I want to tell you about the U.S.

Army specialist Brett Menard.

He's a hero who enlisted after 9-11 because he wanted to be a part of something that really mattered.

Well, he was on a road clearing mission in Afghanistan and his vehicle was destroyed by an IED and his life changed forever.

He's now a T4 paraplegic with traumatic brain injury, compartment syndrome in both of his arms, severe internal injuries.

He even needed complete facial reconstruction from all the damage the blast did.

This is a guy that knows the cost of freedom.

He comes back.

His body is completely broken, but his spirit is unbroken.

And I think you had a part to play in that.

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation stepped him and built him a specially adapted smart home.

It's mortgage-free so he can live a more independent life.

This is is the mission that the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is on: to never forget 9-11.

Never abandon our heroes or forget them and their families.

They could use your help.

Would you be willing to donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers?

95 cents of every dollar goes directly to the service of these heroes.

Tunnel to Towers.

Their web address is tthenumber2t.org.

That's t2t.org.

This is the Glenn Beck Beck Program.

A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight.

Walking in a winter wonderland, You know,

you're going to have to sit through a lot of crap.

You just have to not care.

You have to keep thinking what's important when it comes to your family.

But you also have to realize the role you play in things.

I mean, our family's having problems last night.

I couldn't sleep last night because I know I played a role in some of this.

I know me.

I know myself well enough to know.

I've, you know, self-examined enough to know where my

problem, where I still hide.

We all have hiding places.

We have things that, you know, things get tough.

Maybe you hide

or whatever.

Whatever your thing is, you've got to recognize that when you come in with your family, because it's not just them, it's you too.

But I say that because you also,

hopefully, your family

can understand that too.

Everybody's so defensive on themselves.

You don't know.

You don't know.

You don't understand me.

You don't know, blah, blah, blah.

You're right, I don't, because I didn't live your life, but you didn't live my life.

And there are things that I struggle with that I know are wrong.

I know they are mechanisms that were built in since childhood that I still try very hard to conquer.

And I haven't conquered them.

I just, I haven't conquered them.

And

I feel like I'm completely alone on that.

And

I don't want to whine about it.

I just want to be done with it.

But I can't seem to get past it.

And your family, if you don't feel that way, somebody else in your family feels that way.

And so some of the conflicts that we have in our family is because of the family dynamics and the dynamics that are set inside each one of us.

I just, I guess

all I really want to say is your family is worth it.

All I really want to say is

it's going to be really hard to sit sometimes with, especially when, you know, your crazy uncle comes who has, you know,

they've been building camps and they've ordered all these coffins where they're going to put all the liberals.

I know, I know.

And you voted for the guy.

You're just going to, crazy uncle test.

Read the book.

You're going to have to sit through a lot of stuff.

But I don't think in the end, because these times, remember, look at every time the world has gone insane.

It writes itself.

We just have to get to the point to where it writes itself and it already is starting to write itself and return to truth.

When that happens, we can't hold grudges and we don't want to have massive scars more than we already do in our families.

Because trust me, the older you get, the only thing that matters is your family.

You know, with all this talk about, ah, you could be vaporized on Christmas from Russia.

That's what they're really saying.

There could be nuclear war on Christmas.

I don't know.

Maybe we should just be a little prepared.

First, let me tell you about the Burna Launcher.

As the holidays approach, it's essential to recognize that personal safety is a year-round priority.

Prime tends to spike around this time of the year.

I mean, who could guess why?

This holiday season, you should gift your loved ones with peace of mind by giving them something that will actually keep them safe in situations where protection is needed, but life-ending violence isn't called for.

Last Christmas, I gave every member of my family over 18 a Burna launcher.

Now, my last child just turned 18, she got hers as well.

It is a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home, safeguarding yourself in your car, wherever you are.

It's legal in all 50 states.

No permits or background checks required.

Can be used by all ages over 18.

And it launches powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range.

It can take somebody down and put them on the ground for about 40 minutes.

Dallas Jenkins joins us.

Hello, Dallas.

How are you?

Good.

I'm actually wanting to write down what you were just talking about.

I'm like, this sounds great.

is.

I'm telling you, every school should have these things.

Yes.

We were, you know, nobody wants to arm teachers.

If you put your hand around the corner outside the door and somebody's in the hallway, yes, kids will be hit with tear gas, but nobody will die.

Yeah.

And the police can take that guy down.

Wow.

It's crazy.

No, I know.

It sounds amazing.

I'm literally going, I'm going to get this for my home.

Yeah, yeah, they're great.

How are you?

I'm good.

Here's the thing.

I'm looking at you, and you're a handsome guy, but behind you is this big picture where you look phenomenal.

And it's like,

it's not good for you to put it right behind you because then I'm like, wow, that's, wait a second, there's a difference.

Like, you're, you're, like, you know, again, you look good in person, too.

Happy.

But that's you happy and rugged and handsome.

And

I'm like, wait a minute, there's a difference.

So

tell me the story of the film Best Christmas Pageant Ever.

I have to admit to you, I have not seen it.

I've had others who have seen it and just rave about it.

I've seen the trailer.

This is before you ever sent me anything or was going to become, I didn't know who it was.

And I watched the trailer and I'm like, this looks fantastic.

It looks

heartwarming and funny and

all of this.

And it's true.

And I really think you and I have talked before.

This is your kind of movie.

I really think you'd love it.

I read this book almost 20 years ago to my kids.

My wife brought it home.

And the first couple chapters I'm reading it.

Now, this book's been around for 50 years.

I read it in public school, which is why I was so surprised by what happened when I read it again to my kids.

First few chapters, I'm laughing.

It's very witty, very nostalgic, just a terrific story.

And I get to the last chapter, and I'm going, I didn't remember how Jesus-y this was.

Like, I don't know how we got a chance, we got away with reading this in public school.

I think it's because of the Christmas of it all.

But I get to the last chapter.

You grew up in Oklahoma?

Yeah, no,

Illinois.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, a little different.

Yeah, okay.

But But anyway, the first,

the story is the six Herdman kids, the worst kids in the world, the ones that everyone is looking down on.

I just want to reamp it.

No, no, it's not.

It's not true.

It's not true.

No, no.

Okay, okay.

Somebody told me it was a true story.

No, no, no.

That's the chosen.

That's a true story.

But

this, she captures, it feels very real.

It's very nostalgic.

You remember the movie A Christmas Story?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Very much that feel to it.

But in this case,

these six kids,

they're on the wrong side of the tracks.

They're in poverty.

They're mean.

They're feral.

And this church and this town don't want them around.

And they hijack the town's Christmas pageant.

And they take over the roles.

They bully the other kids into saying, we're going to play these roles of Mary and Joseph.

So, of course, everyone's scandalized and thinks it's going to be the worst Christmas pageant ever.

Because they're so un-Christ-like.

Right.

Yeah.

And so much like Mary and Joseph.

Like, you can't have this awful girl playing the Mother Mary.

Mary is beautiful and sweet and and pretty and always looks clean.

So they get to the performance of the pageant, and I don't want to give anything away.

Of course, it is called the best Christmas pageant ever.

But we get to that last chapter.

I start crying so hard, I can't see the pages.

My kids are looking at me like, what is going on?

And my wife, Amanda, goes, all right, give me the book.

Let me read it.

She starts reading.

She starts crying.

We're passing the book back and forth to each other while the other one recovers.

The story is just so beautiful because it's because of these kids' poverty, because of their outsider status.

They're actually closer to the heart of the true story than anyone else is.

And so it ends up transforming this town and the town, of course, so everyone is learning something new because these kids have never heard the story before.

So they're asking all these questions.

Well, that's a better ending than I thought.

I thought it was that

the people that were helping the kids actually kind of change the kids to have those kids

transform the rest.

Right.

It's fantastic.

That's the thing.

The church learns from these outsiders because we've taken for granted the Christmas story and the Christmas pageants.

And we think of the sweet little nativity and the halo around everyone's head.

And these kids are going, wait a minute, why wouldn't they let a pregnant woman into the inn?

And they're asking all these questions that we take for granted.

And so their perspective on the story is just closer to the truth of it because of their unique perspective and outsider status.

And so it just was so beautiful.

And there's a very common, a connective thread between that and the chosen.

My passion has always been, and we've talked about this before, I'm like,

I'm taking Jesus and the apostles down from stained glass windows, down from the pretty paintings that we've seen, and trying to give you the most accurate, direct portrayal of the humanity of these people and the true story.

And that's what really stood out to me about the Best Christmas Pageant ever.

Now, it's funny, it's witty,

it's a traditional Christmas classic, but it's got this,

it's probably the only of the movies that I would consider to be Christmas classics, and hopefully this becomes one of them, that really does put a spotlight on the true story of Jesus, but in a fun way.

It's amazing to me how snotty Christians can get.

And maybe it's because

they either didn't have that kind of experience or didn't need the redemption of Christ as much as others do.

But

Christ came for the ones that needed redemption, and we all need it, but needed the redemption really badly.

He was always around those kinds of things.

He's saying, I came for the sick, not for the healthy.

And there's a line in the trailer and in the movie where the mom who's volunteering to do this pageant, everyone in the church is telling her, no, just get rid of the herdmans.

We need to protect our sacred Christmas pageant.

And at one point, her daughter says, shouldn't we just get rid of them?

And she says, I think that would

contradict the whole point of the story.

And she says, the point of the story is that Jesus came for the herdmans as much as he came for you and me.

He was

everybody in that story was rejected and despised.

Yes.

And there's also a moment where the herdmans walk out on stage and

they're wearing the clothes they cobbled together at home.

to portray Mary and Joseph instead of the pretty costumes that were given to them by the church, right?

And one of the girls in the choir who's against them goes, oh, look at them.

They look like refugees.

And the main character's looking at them.

She goes, yeah, they do.

And she's smiling, going, this is what Mary and Joseph were.

They were refugees.

They were outsiders.

So it's those kinds of moments that, unlike, again, some of these other Christmas classics that I love, you know, Elf and Christmas Story and some of these Home Alone, they're all great.

But this is a movie that has all those elements of humor and whatnot.

But then there's these moments where you go, oh my goodness, that is the true story.

And I think to your point about Christians and those of us, especially here in America, I think sometimes we

it's not that we need redemption less.

If anything, we need it more, but it's our awareness of our need, which sometimes goes away when you are living comfortably.

Comfort can oftentimes cause you to take for granted

who came for us, not comfortable.

Jesus was born into a stable, into a rough environment, on the run, hiding, outsiders, refugee, all that stuff.

He came as a suffering servant, not as a conquering king.

And we sometimes forget that.

Yeah.

And

it's remarkable to me, the best Christians,

I put a few people like Billy Graham into other categories, but the best Christians that I have met, regular people,

are those people usually from the Middle East or from China.

Oh, yeah.

The ones who are just like, oh, they

have to know God

because it's literally all that gets them through their day.

Oh, yeah.

I have a friend who runs this ministry called World Relief, and he said, the church in Iran is cool, man.

Oh,

he's like, they just, he's like, they're like, we just had another great bombing.

And they're like, what?

Like, we had a bombing of one of our churches.

We've never been closer to God.

We've never been more desperate for him.

We've never, and I'm like, man,

I hope, I wish I could reach that level of passion and desperation without needing to be

oppressed.

I went to Iraq years ago

and

we were rescuing the Yazidis and I was supposed to come pick them up and then we were going to take them to some other country in Europe.

And

so when I get on the plane in New York, I'm told you may not be able to go see them because ISIS has just targeted the church.

at the time you're supposed to arrive and they're having a final service.

And so I'm on the plane wondering, I mean, what am I going to do when we get there?

And I get there and they say, I said, so where are we meeting?

And they're like, oh, at the church.

And I said, did ISIS?

And they said, no,

they're not changing their plans.

And I said, okay.

And then halfway through church,

Russia said that they were going to start bombing that city.

And I'm laughing just because it's like, this is not something we think about in America.

Right.

And I'm like, should we all maybe, is there a shelter around here?

They just kept kept singing and praying.

And they said to me, oh, if we die, we're with God.

Right now, we're fine.

This is great.

It was amazing to see.

Very humbling.

And so

that's the kind of thing I'm hoping

not only that it reaches me, but the viewer when I do The Chosen, when I do movie like Best Christopage and Ever, it's, can we somehow remove these, sometimes it's religion, sometimes it's our sin, sometimes it's our art that

gets us further away from that, what actually happened and from that desperation and from that authenticity.

And so, yes, in this case, it's wrapped in a fun, PG-rated Christmas movie, but it's all the same intention of, man, I'd love to get that level of direct connection, so connected to Jesus that everything around you is irrelevant.

And this is so important this Christmas.

I mean,

I've been fighting Santa, not in a bad, I didn't want to be that bad dad that's like, well, it's Santa, Santa.

You know, I had fun as a kid with Santa, but

it was a different culture.

The culture said Christmas was about Jesus, not Santa, and Santa was just the fun part.

And it is so important, and this is a fun way to bring your kids to the true story of Christmas.

It's called the best Christmas pageant ever.

It's in theaters now.

Are you going to release release it on video on demand before Christmas or not?

Just

close to around Christmas.

Yeah, okay.

But I do hope that people go see it in theaters now.

We want it to last in theaters as long as possible.

But yes, eventually,

shortly before Christmas, it'll be available at home as well.

Yeah, I will tell you that

it speaks a lot.

I think this came out November 5th.

8th, yeah.

Yeah, 8th.

Right after the election.

Yeah, and it is doing really well this early in the...

The New York Times liked it, Glenn.

got

a 91% on rotten tomatoes worm hits I know there's a glitch in the matrix yeah but there there there seems to be this reaction of like wow this is this this movie does take me to where Christmas should be about and it's been a really really cool

really cool experience to see the reaction so will you hang on just for a second I have to take a one-minute break we're with Dallas Jenkins creator director of The Chosen and the new movie Must See the best Christmas pageant ever.

See it this week in theaters.

It will be great to kick off the the holiday and kind of also remind us: hey, God just played a big role in our lives here recently.

We saw some miracles.

Let's thank him.

Let's thank him for that.

Let me take 60 seconds to tell you about our sponsor.

It's Jace Medical.

We are looking at a weird world.

It's all changing, and I think it's going to change for the better in some ways where we're going to start making things that we should make and should have been making here in America

and try to take our destiny back into our own hands hands somewhat.

80% of the medicine that we take is coming from China.

What happens if we go to war with China?

What happens if there's another glitch in the system?

What happens when the trade barriers go up?

Do we have that medicine coming in from China?

That is part of the Christmas album done by my daughter with the Czech Symphony Orchestra.

It comes out Black Friday.

It is called Home for Christmas.

Can we play the trailer of the best Christmas pageant ever, please?

Listen.

Don't miss out.

The annual Christmas pageant tickets are on sale now.

They're advertising it on TV now?

The pageant is an especially big deal this year.

It's the 75th anniversary.

I want to give special mention to Grace for volunteering to direct it.

You did what?

Oh no.

Did somebody die?

It's worse than that, son.

It's going to be the best Christmas pageant ever.

Oh no, it's the Hermans.

Now.

The Hermans are absolutely the worst kids in the history of the world.

What'd they do now, dear?

Break another window?

Set something on fire?

Steal your lunch and then punch you for not having any candy?

No, even worse.

We're gonna be in your Bible play.

Herdmans in church.

Oh boy.

We take the pageant seriously.

It's about community and tradition.

What do you all suggest that I kick the herdmans out of the church?

Yes.

I want to be Mary, and Ralph wants to be Joe.

And the angel of the Lord?

No man may.

The herdmen shouldn't be here.

They're a poor influence.

You don't look like any Mary I've seen before.

Don't touch him.

I'm happy to take over the part at any time.

I can't just kick him out.

I thought you all might be interested in one of my stuffs.

You never told me you visited the Herdmans.

I got the biggest hand for you guys.

Is your mom home?

Not when the sun's up.

What if the Herdmans ruin this for you?

They probably will, but it's not about me.

Jesus was born for the Herdmans as much as he was for us.

We'll be missing the whole point of the story if we turn them away.

The best Christmas pageant ever.

It is playing in theaters right now.

And I've never heard this before.

The people that I know that saw it and that I trust, they said, Glenn, I saw the trailer, and I saw the trailer.

I thought it was great and funny.

I saw the trailer and it seemed like a little holiday, you know, Hallmark kind of thing.

And they said, the movie is so much better than the trailer.

And I've never heard anybody say that about any movie ever.

Yeah, typically the trailer is the very best thing, the highlights of it.

So I can't wait.

I'm making reservations at the theater for Thanksgiving.

After we have our Thanksgiving, we'll go to the theater that night and watch the best Christmas pageant ever.

I have to get you to correct something.

There was somebody I was talking to that goes to a Christian school here in Dallas,

and

they were talking about it with a Mormon friend who has a child in that school, and it came up that the Mormons distorted the chosen because they were involved, and so you can't believe the chosen scripturally.

And I want you just to verify that

you used the set, I think, for the first year from the Mormon Church, and

all churches are involved, but you have, I said to them, you need to go back into the classroom and say that Dallas Jenkins has a group of Bible scholars that look at it from all angles and they argue, make sure it's exactly biblically correct.

Yes, correct?

100%.

And

number one, I'm an evangelical Protestant.

I have the final say and control over every single piece of content in the show.

It's not influenced by anybody.

And as I'm sure you wouldn't be that surprised, but all of the Mormon friends or people that I have that I work with, or I mean, I have people of all backgrounds who, and lack thereof.

I mean, half my cast and crew aren't believers.

But

there hasn't been any arguments.

None of them have said, well, we wish you would do this instead and be more Mormon in your portrayal of Jesus.

Like, it's the gospels.

It's the stories of Jesus.

It's pretty cut and true.

We don't, yeah,

the arguments we have about Jesus are based on things that took place after he was here or before he was here on earth.

But yeah, it is astonishing some of the rumors.

You use a set

that's owned by the church.

It's not like they said, okay, now if you're going to use our set, now you have to put this in.

You have to Mormon this up.

Yeah.

Because, you know,

this set doesn't come free.

So no.

This is the first time I've ever had to defend.

My Christian friend

against like the Mormons.

It was weird.

No, it's Dallas.

It's been wonderful and a great, great relationship with everyone who's involved.

Thank you so much for everything that you do.

Dallas Jenkins movie, Best Christmas Pageant Ever.

See it.

Sponsor this half hour is Good Ranchers.

You know what I love about Good Ranchers?

I mean, a lot of them, but steaks, meat, you know, steaks, meat, burgers, and chicken, seafood.

Steaks.

Anyway, all of the meat comes from American farmers and ranchers.

But the other thing I like is they always have an opportunity for you to get a good deal.

They're offering a free ham right now for a Thanksgiving meal with any box subscription.

That deal passed, but they couldn't give it up.

They're going to make sure that you have free ham.

Now, this is like $110 value.

Right now, during their holiday special, you can choose any box of their 100% American meat wild-caught seafood, get a 10-pound spiral-cut ham for free.

When you shop with good Ranchers, you're directly supporting local farms and ranches in the United States.

That ham is from America.

This is really important.

of the year.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

Tomorrow, I'm going to be off.

I have some face surgery.

My doctor loves me.

He's like, you just got cancer coming on your face all the time.

I'm going to make a fortune off of you.

You're going to send my great-great-grandchildren to college.

It's going to be great.

Interesting approach.

Interesting bedside manner.

Yeah.

Yeah, I thought so too.

Like, wait a minute.

Should you be cutting in?

He's like, I'm already in.

I'm already in.

But I'm only going to take just as much as I need this time.

I might leave a little sliver sliver in there, you know, just to be a starter pack for the next cancer.

I mean, are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's just stupid, you know, non-lethal skin cancer.

I mean, lethal, I guess, if I just let it grow and grow and grow.

Right, but you're getting it removed, hopefully, to avoid it.

Yeah, I'm the my doctor said, uh, where'd you grow up?

And I said, Seattle, boy, the Lord put you in the right place.

And I was like, What does that mean?

She's like, You are

a beacon for skin cancer.

It's like, come on, son, bring it on.

It's a weird compliment.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

Well, I grew up in Seattle and in Seattle, this is really normal.

When there is a sunny day, nobody puts on sunscreen.

Nobody.

Because you're like, it's the sun.

I might get some color and you're burnt and you're like, I'm fine with that.

I haven't felt like that.

You know, that good feeling you have when you're in the sun?

You don't get that in Seattle.

So

when when there's just a sunny day,

it might even be 65 degrees.

People are out, you know, like with tin foil around their face, like they're inside of a satellite dish going, I'm just soaking up some rays, just soaking up some rays.

So, everybody gets burned all the time.

I tend to think sunscreen is, is good.

Yeah, yeah.

You know, that's what my wife said.

But I, you know, anyway, um,

uh, so I'm going to be gone tomorrow, and then we're going up to Tanya's mom.

It's her first Thanksgiving without dad at the table.

So the family is going to go do that.

We're going to be up there.

I'm going to go New York for a couple of days.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Oh, nice.

So haven't.

Holidays in New York are still.

I'm taking my kids up there

in December.

Yeah.

For the first time.

They've never, I don't think either of the kids have ever been to New York City.

And but, you know, I'm going to see them.

They're going to do the Christmas stuff, do all.

I want like every stereotypical thing I've seen in a Christmas movie to do.

Like the Rockettes and the Rockefeller tree and every little bit of it.

There used to be like when they had, remember the movie Big?

Oh, yeah.

They had the big toy store right on the corner.

It was, you know, right on Fifth Avenue and it was in the GM building.

It was the whole bottom floor and it was the greatest toy store ever.

Yeah.

And when that went out, I mean, Toys R Us isn't even there anymore.

They don't have toy stores like they used to now.

But it was like when you were coming to visit New York, you know,

now you're just, you know, feeding homeless people, you know, green and red.

I'm going.

No, don't tell me that.

I bring pockets of green and red jelly beans, feed it to them.

They'll throw up and you're like, there's Christmas in New York, kids.

That's kind of nice.

I do.

Because there was that period, especially when COVID was going on.

It was like, will this place ever recover?

You know, will it ever get back to where it was, which was still not perfect.

There's plenty of that stuff going on when we were there.

I was there just last weekend, and it's still

not the way it used to be.

And part of it is it's just a wreck.

It's a mess, you know, and that's just from

under new management.

Yeah.

You get good management in there and clean that city up.

But the rumor is that Andrew Cuomo is going to run, so that should go.

That's really good.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's really good.

Merry Christmas, New York.

It's become so bad that I've actually talked to people who are in New York.

They're like, actually, maybe Andrew Cuomo would be better.

And I was like, good God, please don't.

No, please don't do this.

No, they're going to, they're going to let it.

They're totally going to elect him.

They will.

Oh, yeah.

Because the de Blasio thing wasn't bad enough.

Yeah, no, no,

they will elect him.

They will elect him and they'll be happy and they'll defend him.

Yeah.

It's happening.

Oh, God.

It's happening.

By the way, you can go to

GlennbeckChristmas.com.

We have a whole bunch of stuff for if you have a Glenn Beck fan in your family.

There's something, there's several things that are new.

More will be being added.

But you can get the poster print or the G.

Clay print of one of my paintings called Morning of the First Resurrection.

And this is when, you know, Jesus comes back to judge the living and the dead and splits the mountain.

And

I kind of looked at this when I painted it as like he's just touching feet on the top of the mountain as they split.

And,

you know,

it's hard to do a Jesus painting.

You know?

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's like doing a, it's like doing a painting of your wife to the one billionth power.

You know,

don't want to get that one wrong.

So anyway.

Can you explain to us a non-art snobs what a G-Clay is again?

Yeah, it is a high-quality scan on canvas that has been color corrected, and it looks just like the painting, except it's not the original.

So it doesn't cost $20 billion to create it.

Correct.

Okay.

And you can get it in different sizes, or you can get the poster

or whatever.

There's several things there.

Also,

what else is on it?

And just check it out.

Glennbeckchristmas.com.

Lots of great stuff.

Yeah, lots of great stuff.

And you can get 25% off, by the way.

Glenn25 is the code if you want to do that.

Oh, my gosh.

Isn't that great?

Yeah, take Take money out of Glenn's pockets.

The other one is, you just have to see this because I think these are great t-shirts and everything else.

They're, again, a G-clay, or you can get it on a mug or a t-shirt.

I painted something that I call the

real Captain America.

America's first Captain America.

I can't remember.

Yeah, the real Captain America is the name of it.

And it's George Washington,

you know, almost in a Captain America pose with a flag as a cape.

And it's really kind of cool.

Um, but uh, I got such a response on Instagram, people saying, You got to make this into a t-shirt or whatever.

So, we have the t-shirts, we have the original uh painting and prints available, and whatever you, whatever you want, uh, at GlenbeckChristmas.com.

Really cool.

Yeah, uh, by the way, if you're also going to be traveling next week and you're like, you know, what can I watch before getting on a plane

that will make my travel a living hell?

Yeah, I might recommend the new documentary available on Blaze TV called Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster.

You know, I like to watch, like, oh, I start with Airport 77.

And I just, I take it from there.

As I'm waiting to board the plane, it always makes me feel good.

It is great.

It's a new Blaze original.

It's my documentary.

It's out today on Blaze TV.

You can stream it today.

But it's just about all the huge problems going on with the FAA and air traffic control and how they're using DEI to pick

the people keeping you in the air.

I think it's like a really bad idea.

I said earlier on the podcast

that I was

in a near-miss just recently.

Yeah.

When I went to Florida, what, two weeks ago?

We were right at the end of the runway.

We were coming down fast and hard.

And all of a sudden, the pilot just...

pulled up and, you know, put it full blast on the jet and we came back around because air traffic control just put another plane on our runway and we were about to plow into it.

We're like, holy cow.

This happens all the time.

All the time.

We go through a ton of the near misses that go on.

You can go to Blazoriginals.com slash stew.

If you use the code DEI, you can save 30 bucks.

But Glenn, I was,

the thing about this, and this is some real optimism, maybe not right before you get on a flight, but some real optimism is that these are totally solvable problems.

These are not, this is not like the difficult thing of, you know, trying to fix the border.

You might say, oh, gosh, that's hard.

This is not.

All the solutions are known.

Of course, as you would guess, when it comes to a really nerdy problem that has a million

intricate like

process solutions,

Mike Lee has a solution to it.

Of course.

Because of course he does.

But I talked to Mike Lee in Washington about this, and he goes through it.

And this is something we can really do.

Oh, yeah.

Sean Duffy, who's the new incoming, the non-Pete Buttigieg transportation secretary, supposedly coming in.

He's been nominated.

He's all over it.

These are problems that can actually be solved.

So this is like a great

kind of blueprint.

Have you noticed the problems that need to be solved?

Have you noticed how unreliable airlines have become too?

Yeah, really bad.

Right?

Like weird, long, long delays, cancellations.

Yeah, you're like, okay, I got to get home.

It's Sunday.

Uh-uh.

You can't.

You can't.

It's been canceled.

You're like, what?

It is.

It's not just my perception.

It is worse than normal.

Yeah, it is.

It is worse than normal.

There's a couple of other pieces of audio I want to play for you here before the end.

Let me play this.

This is Jeremy Clarkson.

You know who Jeremy Clarkson is?

The car guy, right?

Yeah, yeah.

And he was in London because the farmers...

They negotiated with the government.

How do we protest

but not really disrupt things?

Farmers.

We don't want to, you know.

Well, you can bring one tractor.

And so they brought one tractor and then just packed the streets with farmers.

Well, Jeremy Clarkson, who is, you know, wildly wealthy, but bought a farm in a really snotty area and just breaks all the rules.

He's great.

But

he was there and the BBC.

which he hasn't been on the BBC for quite some time and he hates the BBC.

The BBC shows up and they're interviewing him.

Listen to this interview with Jeremy Clarkson yesterday on the streets in London.

So why are you here, Mr.

Clarkson?

Well because I'm here to support farmers.

Right.

Are you angry?

It's difficult to be angry on somebody else's behalf.

That's like being...

Yes, no, I'm not angry on someone else's behalf.

Right.

So it's not about you.

It's not about your farm and the fact that you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax.

Classic BBC there.

Classic.

Oh yeah.

It's not the fact that...

The fact that I bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax.

The fact.

You told the Sunday Times in 2021 that's why you bought it.

I can't do any more than I've got to do.

Sorry?

Okay, let's start from the beginning.

I wanted a shoot.

Okay?

That's even worse to the BBC.

I wanted a shoot, which comes with the benefit of not having to pay inheritance tax.

Now I do.

But people like me will simply put it in a trust.

And so long as I live for seven years, that's fine.

And as my daughter said, you will live for seven years.

You might be in a deep freeze at the end of it, but you will live for seven years.

But it's incredibly time-consuming to have to do that.

And why should all these people have to do that?

Why should they?

So, one of the reasons Rachel Reeves says she brought this in is to stop wealthy people using it as a weapon.

No, that was the only reason she did.

Well, no, the other reason was to raise money for public services.

Well, have you seen it?

Are you listening to this?

Have you tried to get a GP appointment lately?

Yes, I just recently had a heart attack.

Okay, so you know it's tough.

Yes.

So where should they get the money from if it's not from farmers?

From farmers.

We hear that, everyone.

With assets.

You should be paying for everything.

Okay, do you know how many people pay inheritance tax in this country?

It's 4% of estates.

What?

4% of estates.

4%

pay inheritance tax.

96% of the population of the UK does not pay inheritance tax.

After this becomes law, 96% of farmers will.

Where have you got that figure from?

Who here, can I just ask,

who here is going to be unaffected by these changes?

No one.

Right.

Where have you got the 96% figure from?

Well, you've got 96%...

Well, the same place that Rachel Reeves does, from the middle of her head.

From the Sixth Formed Debating Society that she was no doubt a member of, which formed her opinions and yours.

I am not expressing opinions.

She's literally asking you questions.

You know that, Mr.

Clarkson.

So, what is your message to this government?

Please back down.

Please.

And get the money from where?

Well, they've got 40 billion.

I'll tell you where you go.

Walk into any of the offices around here.

If you don't understand what somebody's job is, fire them.

Is that great?

He's so, he is just so done with the press, as the regular people are done with the BBC.

You know, it's government propaganda.

And

that's the same.

What he just said is what Doge is supposed to do.

You walk around, we don't understand your job.

You're not doing it, or you're doing something that isn't in the Constitution or Congress didn't approve.

We're going to fire you.

That's where you want to find the money?

That's where you find the money.

All right.

Let me

tell you about PrizePicks.

I want to end the podcast today with

some footage from last night

from Russia.

Let's go with cut 14, please.

Go ahead, roll that.

Wow.

What you're seeing if you're watching the Blaze is a launch of what we believe is an ICBM last night.

Now, ICBMs, when those are launched, that's a pretty significant thing.

We have detection that will detect a launch and if it's an ICBM within five seconds.

Pentagon is saying, we don't know if that was an ICBM launch.

That was an ICBM launch last night, I truly believe.

And it was to send us a message.

And when I come back,

I want to talk to you about why this is being done.

It's a setup.

I'll tell you about it when I come back.
