2h 10m
Did Ukraine start World War III with America’s permission? Glenn looks at Ukraine’s latest escalation, Russia’s possible response, and the similarities between this and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Is Biden permitting Ukraine to use America-made long-range missiles an impeachable offense? Glenn’s chief researcher, Jason Buttrill, joins to war-game how Russia may respond to this latest development. Is Biden capable of fighting a war in his final 62 days? If not, we need to invoke the 25th Amendment right now. Jason, Glenn, and Stu debate whether Russia would respond today and what the response may be. Is our regime pushing for a global nuclear conflict in order to hold on to power? Glenn and Stu discuss Matt Gaetz and how a hacker allegedly got hold of a file with damaging testimony against the potential attorney general. Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) joins to discuss Ukraine escalating the tensions with Russia with Biden’s permission and how this might affect Trump’s upcoming term.

loves a challenge.

It's why she lifts heavy weights

and likes complicated recipes.

But for booking her trip to Paris, Olivia chose the easy way with Expedia.

She bundled her flight with a hotel to save more.

Of course, she still climbed all 674 steps to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

You were made to take the easy route.

We were made to easily package your trip.

Expedia, made to travel.

Flight-inclusive packages are at all protected.

Let me talk to you about the Burna launcher.

You might have to defend yourself one day from a violent attack.

When that happens, are you prepared?

In a lot of situations, that means having a firearm, but using that gun to shoot, to kill, and that's the only reason you pull a gun out.

Maybe the situation doesn't call for that.

In those times, you need something that will remove the threat at a safe distance while avoiding all the life-altering consequences at the same time.

The thing you want is a Burna launcher, because there are are situations where less lethal is the way to go, or if you're not a good shot, or if you're in a school and you're a teacher.

Why don't schools have Burna launchers?

This stops the deterrent.

It will incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

And yeah, maybe some of the kids get gassed with tear gas.

Oh, well, it's better than them dying, isn't it?

Kind of

a tense day.

We'll talk about that next.

Oh, oh, oh.

Got no room

to compromise.

We gotta stay together.

And if we're gonna survive,

stand up straight

and hold the line.

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

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

I

have some bad news for you.

Ukraine used our medium-range missiles to launch

against Russia.

Two days ago, Russia and Vladimir Putin signed a new order saying that anyone who used drones or

missiles that come from the United States, Russia would look at that as an act of war.

on Russia.

And then our beloved president, or somebody, whoever's making the decisions,

decided to give the go-ahead to Ukraine to use our missiles.

A few hours ago, they launched those missiles.

We are now waiting for Putin's response.

His response, according to the order he just signed, is

to be able to use nuclear weapons.

He has...

This would be, according to this new law he just signed two days ago.

This would allow him to use nuclear weapons in response and he would consider the act that they just did last night with our go-ahead and our missiles an act of war against Russia by the United States.

So we're going to have an interesting day, kids.

We'll give you all the details and I want to start with how similar this is.

with the Cuban missile crisis.

We'll do that in 60 seconds.

All right, ever since one of the darkest days in American history, 9-11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been helping support our nation's heroes and their families.

And I want to tell you about firefighter James Allen Dickman.

James died tragically in an arson fire while trying desperately to save people who were trapped inside.

He made the choice that most of us, thankfully, will never have to make.

And that choice was, do I go in and save others and possibly lose my life?

He did.

As scriptures say,

no greater love, no man

than he that lay his life down for another.

And he lived up to that.

He left behind a loving wife, two children, and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation stepped in to give the family a gift of mortgage-free home because that's what they do, and they do it with the help of you.

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

More than 95 cents of every dollar that you donate

goes to the programs like this, buying the home.

So they don't have to worry about that after they've lost the breadwinner and the family.

It's tthenumber2t.org.

That's where you go to donate t2t.org.

Let me take you back to October 28th, 1962.

It was in the morning.

The president had just spoken the night before.

As if the world hesitated

to

commit itself to another day, the morning came pale and fragile.

The streets that normally bustled with life were unnervingly quiet,

as though the air carried a silent warning.

Everybody that day knew exactly what was at stake.

Everybody in America and in Russia knew that this could be the very last sunrise they'd ever see.

In kitchens across America,

families gathered not for breakfast, more for solace.

Radios hummed low and tense, spilling out fragments of news from Washington, Moscow, and Havana.

The announcers tried to sound composed, but their voices betrayed what they were trying to convey.

They were quivering, careful, and burdened by the responsibility of carrying words that might spell the end of absolutely everything.

All across America,

men gripped

a mug of coffee with knuckles white as bones, their eyes hollowed and fixed as they sat at their kitchen table staring beyond the walls of their home,

as if they could see the invisible forces shifting over the ocean.

Just last night, the President, President Kennedy,

had said, Today

we're meeting the Russian forces, and they shall not pass.

The man's wife stood by the sink, scrubbing with mechanical fury, her hands trembling beneath the soapy water.

Outside the window, the world looked unchanged, calm, even.

And she stared outside.

Every bird that soared across the sky seemed to mock the silent fear of those below.

Children were playing in half-hearted whispers, their games shadowed by the absurdity of what they had been just taught in school.

Over and over again, they ran the drills for the last two weeks.

Duck and cover, their teacher said.

Duck and cover as though those wooden desks would somehow shield them from the wrath of an atomic fire.

It was a lie.

And the kids knew it.

Everybody knew it.

But the motions of safety were all that remained.

And still, the waiting continued.

The clock on the wall ticked steadily.

It was oblivious to the tension in the room.

Every passing second was a question, had the call been made?

Is there still time to stop it?

Or had the fuse already been lit, carrying death on a trajectory no one could stop?

It was late in the afternoon that word finally arrived.

There was a breakthrough.

The Soviets had stopped.

The missiles would not fly.

The abyss, at least for now, had retreated.

Can you imagine the relief that swept across the nation like a wave?

Nobody celebrated.

There was no cheering, no triumphant cries, only silence and the collective exhale of a of a planet spared annihilation.

Yet the silence wasn't empty.

It was heavy.

It was marked by the knowledge of how close the world had come to tearing itself apart.

This was not a victory.

This was merely a reprieve.

The shadow of war, nuclear war, still loomed, and the fragility of peace had never been more terrifyingly clear.

And the day ended as it began,

with the sun dipping below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of gold and crimson.

But that night, the light felt different, as though it too had been changed.

And as darkness fell, a chilling truth settled over the land.

Humanity had looked into the void,

and it would not forget, at least for a while, how easily it could fall again.

When the wall came down,

we thought we had defeated the Soviet Union.

When the world watched in horror,

the day after,

a mini-series that taught America that nuclear war could never be fought and won, when Gorbachev and Reagan met and they both said to each other, this is madness, it can never be fought, we thought

the world got it.

But there are mad men still alive, apparently, today.

We know the madness of Vladimir Putin.

We hoped against hope that

our leader, Joe Biden, wasn't mad, wasn't insane,

had better recollection, could even remember what we all said when nuclear war was not an option.

I mean, after all, he said at the beginning of his term, we can't do these things because make no mistake, and I'm not joking,

it would be nuclear annihilation.

It would be World War III and it would all be over.

Shockingly,

shockingly,

after Putin

said this, cut 10.

In the updated version of the document, aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, but with the support of a nuclear state, is proposed to be considered as their joint attack on Russia.

Russia will also consider the possibility of using nuclear weapons when receiving reliable information about a massive launch of means of aerospace attack and their crossing of our state border.

This includes strategic and tactical aircraft, as well as cruise missiles and drones, hypersonic and other delivery vehicles.

Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in case of aggression, including if the enemy using conventional weapons poses a critical threat.

Trump said this

in March of this year on X Cut 12.

We have never been closer to World War III than we are today under Joe Biden.

A global conflict between nuclear-armed powers would mean death and destruction on a scale unmatched in human history.

It would be nuclear Armageddon.

Nothing is more important than avoiding that nightmare.

We will avoid it, but we need new leadership.

Every day this proxy battle in Ukraine continues, we risk global war.

We must be absolutely clear that our objective is to immediately have a total cessation of hostilities.

All shooting has to stop.

This is the central issue.

So last night, after,

what, a day ago, two days ago, we finally heard that the president had given Ukraine

the go-ahead to use these U.S.

long-range missiles at Russia, Ukrainian troops launched an attack against a Russian border region with six U.S.

long-range missiles.

This comes after again Putin approved the updated doctrine lowering the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons.

How many times have this guy given us a red line and said, don't cross this or it will be World War III?

And we've crossed it every single time.

For a man who's backed in the corner, a man who is a bloodthirsty killer, you don't keep backing him into a corner or what happens?

Eventually, he says, I'll have absolutely no credibility and his people who have just been bombed with U.S.

missiles, which he just said two days ago will be an act of war, has got to say,

you know what?

The worst thing I can do is not act because I'll lose all credibility in my own country and throughout the rest of the world.

We have entered a moment of madness.

What Joe Biden did

is impeachable.

Who launches

62 days before you're out of the office?

Who starts World War III?

By the way, there's a couple of other things you should know.

This isn't the only thing going on.

There's been a couple of other things.

First of all,

they cut

some telecommunication cables.

Who?

We don't know, but we suspect the Chinese.

The Chinese ship Yipang is the main suspect in an investigation now on who cut two underseas telecon cables between Finland and Germany.

Why would you cut cables between Finland and Germany?

Well, if you're going to restore the Soviet Empire,

Finland was part of that Soviet Empire.

They've been the ones saying, please stop all this madness.

That was cut.

Oh, also, the telecommunications lines between Sweden and Lithuania.

Sweden was an allied.

Lithuania was an Axis.

Lithuania was under Soviet rule as well.

The ships sailed right over the cables when they were cut 8 a.m.

on Sunday and 2 a.m.

on Monday.

Gang, things could be different by lunchtime.

Pray for your country.

Pray

that Vladimir Putin does not strike a NATO country, even with a conventional bomb.

Pray that this madman

will listen to Donald Trump and realize this is over in 62 days.

But then again, the guy wants to collapse the United States of America.

As I told you, if Trump wins, one of the things I'm very worried about is terrorism and war.

That

the left is so insane that they have this, if I can't have you, no one will.

That they've been backed into a corner.

They have everything writing on it.

They've got to bring it down before Trump gets in.

It was the worst case scenario.

Pray,

the bloodthirsty madman

in Russia

is more sensible than this senile

bastard in the White House.

Back in a minute.

You know, it's amazing to me.

He said to just recently, we're not supporting you, Israel.

We're not sending you any arms.

We're cutting off all the arms.

And then what do they do?

Give long-range missiles

that are launched.

Anyway, let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

They wish you a blessed Thanksgiving, but also would like you to remember those who are facing unbelievable hardship, those who need food, fellowship, and hope.

That includes the people of Israel who are still threatened by daily attacks from the enemies on all sides.

God is not done with us.

I don't know why, but he's not done with us.

We really need his blessings right now.

You will be blessed, the country will be blessed, if we bless his children.

This Thanksgiving, please consider standing with Israel and the Jewish people.

Please, support IFCJ, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,

jack frost nipping at your nose.

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

welcome to the Glenbeck program and I woke up this morning

and I heard the news

and I'm thinking to myself this is madness you know there's not a soul on the planet even the ukrainian people want this to end they want this to end.

I believe every rational person

anywhere in the world, the regular person, wants this over.

But our bettors seemingly do not.

We welcome Jason Buttrill in with us, our chief researcher and a guy who watches this for us.

Hello, Jason.

How you doing?

What do you expect him to do, Putin?

I I think the way I usually approach this is just not to assume that our enemy or adversary is crazy, out of his mind.

I think the best way to approach these things is our enemies and adversaries are of sound mind, that they make rational decisions.

And the reason that I do that is because you have to believe that

they're going to respond similar to how we would respond.

So I think the best way to approach it is, well, how would we respond?

Let's just say you're in Canada.

Let's just say you're looking at the Mexican government, the Canadian government.

We are hostile to them.

There's skirmishes going on.

Our adversary, our major adversary, just gave them weapons to attack us within the United States.

How do you respond?

Now, let's say that weapon, let's say it's the Army tactical missile system,

the system that was used last night.

Now, let's say we can't be for sure what kind of warheads are actually on those missiles.

They could be chemical.

They could be biological.

They could be nuclear.

We don't know.

Uncertainty is a lot like the markets.

It drives volatility.

It drives people to make hasty decisions, decisions that

are kind of scary.

That's kind of what the Russians now find themselves, that's the position they now find themselves in.

Uncertainty.

They don't really know what to do.

All they know is that their adversary, their biggest one, the United States, has given their enemy that they're currently at war with a missile that provides uncertainty.

And they know that Russia launched six of them.

Ukraine.

Ukraine launched six of them.

Now, luckily, they were just conventional weapons, but that doesn't need to continue.

And what does a guy like Putin do when he has been backed up past how many red lines?

At some point,

He's got to say, I mean what I say.

We would be crazed if the situation was on our Mexican border and they just blew up Tulsa, Oklahoma.

We would be crazed.

And we would be saying, you said there was a red line.

When are you going to stick to it?

Putin cannot have his credibility inside of his own country challenged like this.

My gosh, I don't think he is crazy.

I think we're more crazy than he is right now.

More in just a second.

Let me tell you about Jason Medical.

Living here in America, it's always been easy to forget how fortunate we are when it comes to things like medicine.

Your doctor prescribes it, you go to the pharmacy, you pick it up, go home.

It's easy.

Well,

we live in the best place on earth.

We live at the best times man has ever experienced.

Let's blow it all up.

Medicine shortages do happen.

Remember who I told you just cut the lines?

Looks like it was China.

China is on the side of Russia.

China makes 80% of our generic medication.

What do you say you prepare?

Right

now.

Jace Medical.

I was hoping we had at least 62 days more.

I was hoping that we would have it at least until Christmas.

Maybe we do.

Maybe we do.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

So last night,

ATACMS, that's A-T-A-C-M-S, those are the missiles, ATACMS, flew more than 140 kilometers, so it's about 75 miles, and hit a target in Russia.

So

this is two days ago what Putin said, if you do this, if any country launches attackums or long-range missiles or drones that are used inside of Russia,

we will consider that an act of war and we reserve the right to use a nuke.

Now, let me ask you, just over last weekend, Putin again was saying, saying, I'm open to peace.

Zelensky, I'm open to peace.

I can't wait for Trump to get in.

Let's see what we can do.

They were all moving towards peace.

Why, Jason Buttrill,

why would you attack?

Why would our president say, yes, go ahead and use the attackums to do exactly what Putin said two days ago

would warrant war with the United States?

Oh, we're around 60 days until Trump takes office.

Yeah.

I mean, take a look at what they said in the past.

They've acknowledged the fact that Russia might have had a reason or might have been provoked in going as far as they have in this war in Ukraine.

They had been.

Your director of national intelligence,

about to be, Tulsi Gabbard, has said, why didn't you guys listen to them when they said,

just tell the Ukrainians they're not going to join NATO?

Why don't you just start with that as a base?

Yep.

And all Western allies pushed back and said, no, we're not going to do that.

We know that the Trump administration is looking at Clinging House and the Pentagon and the Department of State, breaking the old order that once was, a completely different view of doing things.

It's my belief that that's the reason why they went overdrive into his last administration and tried to get rid of him.

There's things like you do not touch.

You don't touch NATO.

You don't question NATO.

Even though there's every opportunity, I mean, there's every reason to.

You don't touch the Department of State.

Why not?

Why not do it a different way?

It makes absolutely no sense.

Because they're entrenched and they think they're smarter than every president that has come through since Harry Truman.

And if you think that President Biden is the one making these decisions.

You're out of your mind.

You're out of your mind.

I don't even know if, and I mean this sincerely, I don't even know if this guy knows

that.

He apparently gave them permission.

I have no idea if he did give them permission.

Does he know know what Putin just said?

Is he capable of understanding that?

Is the man capable of fighting a war in the next 62 days?

I know that Congress cannot invoke the 25th Amendment, but if there is, if

it should be,

we should invoke the 25th Amendment.

This guy is not capable of navigating a war.

And who is navigating these waters?

Is it him?

Is it Harris?

Is it the Pentagon?

Is it the Department of State?

I want to know who the president of the United States is.

You know,

when they teach you how to look at geopolitics and things like that in school, they always say look at a regime, like an authoritarian regime, as their primary focus is regime survival.

Yes.

Primary focus.

That's their main goal.

And then kind of fit all the puzzles around that.

Isn't it weird that that's kind of how I see the deep state and national security apparatus of the United States right now?

They are in, Glenn, regime survival mode, and they will do anything.

And so you know, when you attack an animal and you back it into a corner like Trump now has,

it's a given that it will come out and do anything it has to to survive.

This is a trapped animal.

And now its claws are out and it will tear your face off if it has to, unless you shoot it.

Trump has got, we have 62 days before Tulsi and everybody else can get in there and say, stand down.

My hope is, is that what Donald Trump said yesterday, do we happen to have

the audio from him yesterday yet?

What he said yesterday was, we want peace because he knew this was coming.

He has been warning against this.

And he came out yesterday and said to Russia and Ukraine,

I want peace.

America wants peace.

Don't do anything stupid.

And

Ukraine did it anyway.

Why?

Why?

Why, other than this, that Ukraine is looked at as a money laundering system.

And we are just, all we are is a cash machine.

We're just sending money over there.

They're laundering it.

God only knows where it's going.

If I can't have you, no one will.

Yeah, also if you're looking at Putin right now and his generals, you're looking at the types of missiles that are being used.

These missiles are GPS driven.

You have to approve electronically targets on these things.

It's just not some random guy named Boris, you know, from Ukraine that's saying, yeah, let's hit that thing, hits a button, take it out and Russia.

We're going to give them the targets.

We're giving them access, at least in some way.

So if it's our weapons, we're giving them access to the targets.

We've approved the targets.

Who's actually attacking who?

We're attacking him.

It is clear.

Putin is right on this.

I hate to say that because Putin is a very bad guy, and I'm not pro-Putin.

I'm not pro-Russia.

I'm pro-sanity.

Again, I go back.

How would we read this?

Next hour, I'm going to play

a piece, you know, some clips of John F.

Kennedy's speech

the day before, you know, we had the standoff with the Russians on the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Just give him Putin's voice, and he could have, Putin could give that speech 90% of it and be right.

We've warned them, don't do this.

We'll consider this.

You can't put it in that close to America.

We told them over and over again, you do this, it'll be an act of war.

So we're out of options now.

Luckily, the Russians blinked last time.

I don't know if our president can blink anymore.

So,

using this example for a second, if

Mexico was

taking some of our territory and Russia gave missiles to Mexico and then they started firing Russian missiles into Arizona, we would be very upset by such things.

I was going to make my point.

Oh,

okay.

I thought I was, that was your point, I thought, right?

Was that your point?

Okay.

However, would it be any different if what we did was invade Mexico and take a giant chunk of Mexico in an aggressive war,

and then in that battle,

Mexico took

a small part of California, and that's where they were firing those Russian missiles.

Now, we might still go on TV and justify that that was over our red line, but it wouldn't.

I mean, the whole thing is still kind of our fault.

And that's the first time that we're talking about

a second.

You would have to have lost part of Texas

40 years ago.

I used California, so you probably didn't care about that.

The whole thing can just fall off into the ocean.

If we lost some of our territory 40 years ago and we were convinced that that's our territory,

and this is, you know, the argument of Putin.

Right, but also the argument of people who claim, you know, southern southwestern states are part of Mexico, right?

Like they

claim that too.

Correct.

There's always somebody who claims that.

There's always history.

But if your regime, if your leadership has said, that's our territory, they took it from us, and that is, you know, that's our spiritual Washington, D.C.,

okay,

then

we'd have a real problem with it and we would be convinced we were justified to take it.

That is definitely what Russia believes.

Right, right, right.

I'm just talking about, I'm not talking about reality.

Yeah.

Perception is reality.

The people of Russia, I would assume, correct me if I'm wrong, Jason,

believe that is their territory.

They don't want to fight and die in mass numbers, but that is their territory.

So because the regime has told them that over and over and over and over again.

Okay.

So they go in, they just want to take what they think is theirs and been sold, that that's theirs.

They may not be totally comfortable with it, but now you've seen that they are reaching into cities and they are bombing buildings and killing civilians.

And then the United States, which you know is an enemy of Russia.

You know it said regime change, regime change, regime change,

is now giving them the attack of missiles and they're starting to launch them two days after you said that will be an act of war.

I'm sorry.

We wouldn't put up with that.

Yeah, I mean, I think my only distinction here is reality versus their lore, right?

And their lore and to motivate their country and to

sort of justify this, they have that internal justification.

I don't think it's necessarily the right justification, but to your point, it doesn't really matter, right?

If they're using this to justify war,

it could come and it fits into their narrative.

Correct.

I think analyzing all of reality is really important here because it's not happening amongst the experts in our government right now.

The experts in our government right now think that Russia is crazy and they want to retake all of the Soviet Union and they want to keep going and they want to conquer the entire world.

Okay, that might have been the Soviet Union.

I don't think that's Russia today.

First of all, they don't have the capability to do that today.

It might be.

It might be.

Maybe we should talk about that.

You've talked about that before.

That doesn't mean it's reality.

I don't think it's reality, but

it might be his goal to do that in some fever dream.

But they're not capable of doing it unless they're justified and they assemble the most bloodthirsty killers to be on their side, China, North Korea, Iran, and they start putting together an Axis power.

Well, then maybe it is possible.

And they kind of started that, but it's kind of like the person that's been dumped into a prison and he's been ostracized and kind of put in a corner with no allies.

Who the hell are you going to go and look for as a friend in case you are attacked by the entire Western world?

I mean, I'm not giving them an excuse.

I'm just saying the way I do this is I always look, I turn the map around completely and I look at it from their perspective and say, do they have a point here?

Do they have, you know,

cause to do what they're doing?

That's how you should look at every situation.

But now, if you do that, you're considered an ally of your enemy, which is absolutely ridiculous.

But look at it from their eyes just for a second.

From their eyes,

the Cold War never ended.

They thought it ended, but then Bill Clinton completely started attacking Serbia and all those places and

didn't even ask for their opinion or anything.

And then the Russians were like, wait a minute,

I thought we were kind of cool now.

What's going on?

Then the Bush administration came in and then started their, you know, their anti-ballistic missile stuff, placing them in places, wanted to put them in places like Romania, and they were like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's going on?

We're cool now.

What's going on?

What's happening?

Then we started fighting over Ukraine.

Coincidentally, every single time a Democrat got in office, but that's another story.

And then they figured they had no choice whatsoever.

Again, this is just looking at it from their perspective,

to go in and intervene once the 2014-2015 coup happened or uprising in Ukraine happened.

Which we did.

Which we participated.

We did that.

We didn't participate.

We led that.

Are you telling me we didn't lead that?

Oh,

we had a huge leadership role, sure.

Leadership role.

Yeah.

There was a big, like, every time you say this, a lot of Ukrainians that participated get all pissed off because, yes, there was a lot of people that participated in it from Ukraine, died for it, bled for it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But yeah, but we were front and center.

I mean, what was her name?

What was that one chick that was all crazy passing out sandwiches or whatever?

Gosh, I can't remember her name.

Can't remember her name.

Yeah, but go ahead.

But yeah, but I mean, yeah, it was obvious that we were involved.

They were using tech camps, they were like manipulating social media like they did in the Arab Spring.

Obviously, we were a huge role in it.

Yep, this is what they're seeing, so they're like, This is what the U.S.

wants to do.

They want to control a country on our border.

Let me say that again: NATO wants to control a country on our border, and they won't give us assurances that they won't immediately join NATO.

I'm just looking at it from the perspective.

It looks like they kind of have cause to be at least concerned.

Would you agree with that?

Yeah, the only thing I would say is the 1980s called and they want their foreign policy back.

I nailed it!

Let's make a reset button.

You make a push-in.

We did it.

We nailed it.

Okay, you may have noticed, this is just on the fringes, maybe just notice a little bit, that there's an awful lot of anti-Semitism going around these days, especially after the events of October 7th of last year.

You notice this a little bit?

Sometimes it kind of seems like those things we were supposed to never forget get forgotten.

Well, there's a film coming out this month that is a powerful reminder of what the evil of anti-Semitism looks like and what the courage in face of that evil looks like.

It's called Bonhoeffer, Pastor, Spy, Assassin.

And it tells the story of a man who stood up to Adolf Hitler in a way that few others did.

As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, Dietrich Bonhoeffer is swept into the center of a dangerous plot to assassinate Hitler with its, you know, I mean, if you think about this, it's a really amazing story.

And with his faith and fate at stake, Bonhoeffer has to choose between upholding his moral convictions or risking it all to save millions of Jews from genocide.

Will his shift from preaching peace to plotting murder alter the course of history or cost him everything?

Well, you can find out this Thanksgiving by ordering your tickets in advance at angel.com slash Beck.

Angel Studios believes this is an important message to be getting out right They're actually giving away free tickets to anti-Semites.

This is real.

You're an anti-Semite, you get a free ticket in the movie.

They believe in the redeeming power of changing hearts and minds and creating films like this.

It's something I think we can all get behind.

And we've been talking about this for a while.

It comes out November 22nd, Bonhoeffer.

Little altar boy,

I wonder could you pray

for me?

I want to live in Christmastown.

This is from the new CD comes out next week, week,

and it is by Cheyenne Grace, my daughter, something that I produced,

backed by the Czech Symphony Orchestra.

And it is, it's really amazing.

You're going to love it, and it'll help bring a little Christmas to our day.

You know, sure, sure, it could be baby's last Christmas, but

why look at it that way?

What do you think?

I mean, what do you think could happen today?

I mean, what do you think is going to happen today?

He's got to respond today,

but

I mean, it's going to be...

He wouldn't.

I mean, using a nuke would be crazy.

And bombing a NATO country, that would be...

That would be crazy.

Right?

Yeah, that's not going to happen.

Okay, we're going to leave it at that.

We're going to leave it at that.

All right, back in just a minute.

The Glenn Beck program.

Let me tell you about Pre-Born.

If we learned anything from this election, it's how important it is for us to stand up, be heard, and fight.

We also learned how desperately the left wants to fight to kill children.

And quite honestly, I'm beginning to think just kill.

It's a death cult.

Pre-born's network of clinics is positioned in the highest abortion areas, and they are fighting for moms who are deciding between life and death for their unborn child.

By introducing a mom to her child on a free ultrasound, they double the chances that mom will choose life.

Then they show the babies and the moms God's love by providing an additional assistance for up to two years.

So when they say death, death, death, abortion, abortion, abortion, slaughter, we have to say life.

If you have the means, could you give $28?

Maybe you could do $28 a month.

That will buy one of these ultrasounds that doubles the chance of a baby's life.

And a tax-deductible donation in a big way, $15,000 would place an ultrasound machine in a needy women's center, saving countless babies for years to come.

All you have to do to give a donation of any size is dial pound250, say the keyword baby, that's pound250, keyword baby, or go to preborn.com/slash beck, that's preborn.com/slash glenn, sponsored by pre-born.

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

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

program.

Oh, this is good.

This is good.

Two days ago, Putin signed a new law into order.

It's the revised nuclear doctrine.

It declares, and I'm quoting, declares conventional attack on Russia by any nation that is supported by a nuclear power will be considered a joint attack on his country.

The doctrine, which outlines the conditions under which Russia's leadership might consider launching a nuclear strike, also states that an attack using, quote, conventional missiles, drones, or other aircraft could be seen as justification for a nuclear response.

Good thing that NATO and Ukraine didn't just launch a U.S.-made,

programmed

missile.

crossing over into their border last night.

Exactly what Putin said is our red line.

Yesterday, Biden gave them permission to do it, and they did it while we were all asleep.

What does that mean?

We'll try to explain in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about American Giant.

You know, family matters, faith matters, our country matters.

Sanity matters, integrity matters.

Well, a lot of those things can be found in the clothing of American Giant.

13 years ago, they just tried to save a factory.

They wanted it from, you know, to stop it from going out because they know, as manufacturers, how important American manufacturing, especially of clothing and textiles and everything else, is.

You know, the reason why champion sweatshirts don't feel like the old champion sweatshirts, because they're not made here in America.

They're not made on the same machines that we used to.

We couldn't even make that fabric anymore anywhere in the world.

The Japanese bought all of those old things and they were using them for, you know, very, very, very, very high-end sweats.

And so what we did did is American Giant bought all of that stuff, flew it back or shipped it back from Japan, put it in this factory that was about to close down.

American Giant bought the factory, taught everybody how to use those machines, and now they make the best sweatshirts and hoodies and everything else.

I mean, you can't buy, this is American quality at its very best.

but it's at an average price.

I mean, you can find cheaper, but, you know, good luck.

Hey, congratulations.

You had it made by slaves.

All right, so we have Jason Buttrell in with us and Stu, of course, the executive producer of the program.

And I am your congenial host, Glenn Beck.

last night

Ukraine did exactly what

Putin said don't do two days ago he signs in a doctrine saying you use any of these kind of missiles that are coming from even conventional missiles coming from you know a nuclear-powered nation

we'll consider that an act of war and

between us Ukraine and whichever country that is specifically

meaning us

it seems like madness, I think on our side, and it seems like madness that he would use nukes and respond.

It doesn't say it's a guarantee to use nukes, but this gives him reason to believe that this was a NATO strike now.

And so he could strike NATO.

My guess is he's just going to pound Ukraine.

in some place where it really hurts them.

That's kind of where I hope the best case scenario is, is just a pounding in Ukraine, which would be horrible and horrendous.

However, it's better than striking into a NATO country, which we would have to respond then.

I mean, Biden has put us at the brink of World War III, and we might know how this goes in the next 24 hours.

We might have a very good idea whether we're going to be in World War III or not in the next 24 hours.

Jason, do you agree, disagree?

Where am I wrong?

What's dangerous is the threat of that is obviously a lot higher this morning.

I think Putin's response will probably be to take out those missiles as quickly as possible.

We know that Russia was planning a larger,

deeper attack into Ukraine.

They've been building up troops.

The North Korean troops allows him to do that because the North Koreans can now guard the

lines of communication in the rear.

They can guard the facilities in the rear, the ammo depots, all that stuff, freeing up the Russian troops to get to the border.

That's what the establishment, you know, defense people on our side have seen.

And that's probably why they said, let's go ahead and fire these missiles and start taking out those rear areas as quickly as possible to stop that buildup.

That's how they're looking at it.

Putin right now is trying to figure out how to respond because now they've greenlit that.

We've are striking in Russia,

the lines behind the border.

Now he's looking at, well, okay,

so what would be like a good response?

Well, the threat of a nuclear weapon is there.

That's always been their thing.

That's been their thing since the start of the war.

It's a real threat.

But it's still madness.

I mean,

you would hope that there's enough people.

I mean, some people in Russia and some people in the United States and our own Pentagon would use it.

They would think, you know what, let's just get it out of the way.

Let's get it done.

But

I don't think Putin

would nuke a city.

Do you?

No, no, no, no.

Putin's not going to nuke a city.

I think that the nuclear threat primarily and the biggest threat will be a tactical nuclear weapon.

What's the difference?

So, tactical nuclear weapon is a low-yield weapon made specifically for the battlefield.

So, let's say there's one of these, as you're calling them, the ATACMs.

I'm going to steal that, by the way, because it's awesome.

Let's say there's some ATACM surrounded by several battalions of

Ukrainian troops.

Well, the only way to be for sure that they take it out is to use a tactical, low-yield nuclear weapon that will take out that entire battle space, including the attack'ems.

That's probably the more likely scenario if a nuclear is a useful.

Nobody's ever used a low-yield nuclear weapon, have they?

Oh, that's a good question.

On a battlefield?

I'm not exactly sure.

I'm not exactly sure about that.

We probably use something very close to this

yield.

Close, but we've used them for bunker busters, but I don't believe they were nuclear.

Right.

And they were the strongest bunker buster penetrating bomb that we had, but I don't think it was low-yield nuclear.

Right.

And that would still be a big international faux pas if they did something like that.

And that would be escalatory.

And we would see that.

We would probably get word that something like that's about to happen because those are heavily monitored.

We'd see them being transported from wherever they're being stored to launchers, and then the entire world would kind of hold their breath.

Well, then the question is: how do we respond?

Do we allow them to press the button on it

and fire that missile?

Or do we send send actual U.S.

assets in to take out the areas inside Russia so they don't even have time to press the button?

Then it escalates to a completely different level.

Yeah,

we're going in the wrong direction.

Then we're going in the wrong direction.

Going the wrong direction,

which is very concerning.

Why would we do this two days after he said this will, even if

it's a foreign missile system, even if if it's non-nuclear, it will be war between us and the United States.

He didn't say United States.

He said us and that foreign nuclear power.

Why would we do this right after that?

I still think I go back to regime survival.

I think that...

Our regime.

Our regime.

As far as the DOD security military complex, that's how I see this.

I think that they are terrified of any change in the status quo with the Trump administration.

I think that they would love to see us push to a point of no return where, no, we can't do the things that Trump said that he was going to do.

We can't alter, you know, the diplomacy and the security posture in that area.

We can't go for a deal.

We are locked into this position.

That's how they see it.

And I think they are driving us to a point of no return where Trump and his cabinet has no choice but to continue with business as usual, how it's been for the past four years.

That's the way I see it.

That's the only reason that makes sense two months before they take power.

It's the only thing.

So

do we expect a response today?

I mean, it would seem natural that they would respond today.

I think the Russians have to make moves on the Atakums as soon as possible because now you're targeting everything they were planning for an offensive and massing troops and moving on Ukraine, which is what they're planning to do.

I think you have to take out the immediate threat, which is the ATACOMs.

I think you have to do that.

So I'm sure they're planning right now.

Well, how do we get that done?

It's not going to be easy because we have air defense assets.

We've put some things in place so that they can't do that.

So it's not going to be easy.

That's when you have the generals over Putin's shoulders saying, well,

it doesn't matter if we miss with five conventional cruise missiles.

If we get one tactical nuke in there, then we make sure that we take out the entire area.

That's when things start escalating.

I don't, I personally do do not think Putin is stupid enough to go that direction.

And that's actually what the old regime is, you know, our regime is planning on as well.

He's threatened this, but he knows he can't do it.

He's a madman if he does it.

They know he's not a madman.

You know, he's a bad man, but he's not a madman.

They think that he, you know, he won't do it.

So they're going to continue to push that red line.

There is a point of which, like, as I said, of no return, where they have no choice, and then you're locked into a much deeper conflict.

The question now is, where is that?

So, you know, I think the regime change or the regime survival is absolutely valid.

I think that, I mean, that's why I said, you know, back when, September, whenever, when we were talking about what could happen if Trump won.

Assassination,

there could be terrorist strikes here in the

United States.

But they also had the war option, just embroil us in a war and collapse it.

I have been worried about that moment where all of our enemies would say, get him now.

Now would be that last time.

As Trump comes into office, especially with things turning around where he's kind of the popular guy, where he's starting to turn everybody kind of around and this nonsense.

It strikes me as if I'm the enemy of the United States, we're most vulnerable right now, but you've got to knock us out.

You can't, you better kill the king.

Okay.

So

wouldn't it be in the BRICS nations, you know, this new, I mean, they are planning on collapsing our economy anyway.

Wouldn't it be kind of in their

advantage?

to start, embroil us in a war?

Not a nuclear war, but a war?

yeah wanting to do it and being able to do it are two entirely different things and uh I don't see like it makes perfect sense for them to goad us into a war in the Middle East

Or goad us into a war Let's say like over in Taiwan or something like that

Getting us more involved in the Ukraine-Russia war seems way too I guess crazy for them to try and you know really push and get us more involved I I personally don't see that happening.

I see them wanting to avoid that as much as possible.

But getting us stuck in another war in a different part of the globe that we, you know, will waste billions and billions and trillions of dollars on, I absolutely see that as a strategy.

I see them thinking more long-term.

They've been very methodical and careful about it so far.

And you're talking about the Chinese, who are probably even higher at the table than the Russians are.

Who look like they just cut communication cables?

That's just, that is wild to me.

I don't explain what happened if you don't know.

So there's multiple communications cables that go through

that.

Finland, Sweden, Finland, Sweden, Norway, that area.

And Lithuania.

Yeah.

And they cut those cables.

Now, Lithuania and Finland are Cold War Soviet states.

And, you know, Russia has said there ares, there ares, they're ours.

And we've been saying, no, we're going to make them NATO countries.

Congratulations.

They're on our side.

And they've been freaked out by this war.

Well, the Chinese ship, we believe it was Chinese,

went over these cables right at the same time they were cut.

So did the Chinese cut these cables?

Somebody knows, I mean, they were cut by somebody.

Is it a coincidence that they went out the moment those ships were over those cables?

I don't know.

But, I mean,

there's something going on.

And then, you know, British Airways,

British Airways lost all of their ability to communicate in any way, shape, or form with the planes and the towers.

It was an IT glitch and grounded planes all over the world.

And, you know, luckily they weren't in the sky when this glitch happened.

But, I mean, Putin has always said it's not going to be fought with nuclear war.

It will be fought with ones and zeros World War III.

We'll get into that a little bit more here in just a second.

First, let me tell you about rough greens.

Bring it back to life with roughgreens at roughgreens.com/slash back.

All right,

let's take a 10-second break and then we're back.

Maybe it's much too

early in the game.

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

Welcome back to the Glenbeck program.

I spoke to Annie Jacobson recently.

She has a book out that everyone should read called Nuclear War.

President Trump has read it.

Everybody that I know that is important

has read this book, you know, important in the chain of command.

And it is fascinating.

It's all about nuclear war and what you really don't know.

Here she is in an interview with me a few weeks ago talking about the risk of nuclear war and how nobody really understands it.

Cut seven.

One of the most remarkable reveals that I learned in reporting the book was how unaware

world leaders are as to the realities of nuclear war.

And at least that can be said about individuals, presidents of the United States, and that is based on their closest advisors, by the way.

Meaning, you know, I think it was Bill Perry, another former Secretary of Defense, who said to me, you know, most come into office unprepared.

They don't want to know.

So again, it reinforces this idea that we'll never have a nuclear war.

I have so many other things to worry about at home and abroad.

So let me just focus on those things, including my popularity, at the expense of this existential threat that looms over all of us.

And so for that specific reason, in reporting the book, I wanted to take the reader from nuclear launch to nuclear winter.

Take them in seconds and minutes, as you say.

Not bring them, not offer up my opinion or even the opinion of wise analysts about how this could happen or how leaders might feel squeezed as you say or feel

just what's going to happen and I hope that all of the leaders around the world read this book and realize that

you've hit upon the most important quote, by the way.

Reagan and Gorbachev, nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.

In reading this, I have shared it with so many people and the people that

I take seriously

and the people that I think

are up to speed and are awake on what we might be facing, I'll say, have you read Annie Jay?

And they'll stop me.

Yes, it is absolutely terrifying, isn't it?

But there's so many people that haven't read it that should.

And it goes to the point: you know, when I saw the moment in the debate where

Joe Biden, and

I do not say this as a partisan,

Everybody came out of that worried about, oh my gosh, how could he run for, you know, and win against Donald Trump?

He's not going to win.

And all I heard in my head was

most presidents are not prepared.

And when I'm listening to that section of when they're bringing the Black Book of Death out and the decisions that he and he alone has to make, I thought, I wouldn't be prepared for, nobody would be prepared for that.

Okay.

This guy cannot be the man with the football.

So we're in that situation, possibly, right now.

I mean, it would be madness to strike back with nuclear, but he just said he would.

But let's see.

But Annie goes into it.

I really,

I want to play a couple more clips of what she said, nuclear war, the phases, the first phases of what happens.

and then nuclear winter, what it means.

It's every war game ends exactly the way the movie War Games ends.

It's annihilation.

It's better not to play.

You know, there's no winner in this.

Every single time they wargame, it ends in total planet destruction.

That's not a good thing to be playing around with today, especially with a president who

I don't think he's making these decisions, and if he is, he shouldn't be making these decisions.

We're 62 days away from a guy who is preaching peace, and both sides have said, well, when he gets in, we'll come to the peace table.

What is Biden doing?

Glenn Beck.

Once upon a time, there was no pain.

It hadn't been invented yet.

And then some chick went and ate an apple off a tree.

Look, I'm not saying it was a woman, but it was a woman.

And ever since, aches and pains and death are a reality.

Sucks, but women

can't live with them.

The Sheck?

Is that like Shrek Symphony Orchestra?

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Trump was on my program, I don't even remember,

a few weeks ago, and we talked about nuclear war because this is something he has brought up several times.

He's been very concerned about it.

Last night, in case you don't know,

Ukraine launched a U.S.-made long-range missile in and over the border of Russia, which Putin two days ago said the response to that would be

pretty much a declaration of war on the United States or

whatever nuclear ally was providing them with that technology.

And the response could include nuclear, which would be horrifying.

Here's Donald Trump on this, on this program, CUT 17.

What frightens, at least me, is

she's not in control.

Biden's not in control.

And they're talking about changing our nuclear strategy with Russia.

And I don't know who's making those decisions.

And I have to tell you, Mr.

President, I mean...

Have you read

Nuclear War by Annie Jacobson?

Yes, I have.

Okay.

That's terrifying.

I don't know how you would make the decision as president of the United States that quickly.

It's the biggest single threat.

When these people talk about global warming and they worry about the ocean's going to rise in 300 years by an eighth of an inch,

it's like it just infuriates.

Now, at the same time, I don't even like talking about nuclear.

That's how bad it is.

Okay.

So, you know, during my administration, you probably never heard the word nuclear.

I don't, I purposely.

And now you're hearing it every single day.

You're hearing it all the time.

And you know who issues it a lot is Putin now.

He's issuing that word.

I know.

I know.

And that will be,

there will never have been anything like that.

The level of power, I'm the one that rebuilt it.

I rebuilt all of our military.

I rebuilt it at the highest level.

I hated, in many ways, I hated to have to do the nuclear, but I did because we have no choice.

We have other countries.

We have five other countries now that are, as they say, nuclear capable.

And that's too many.

That's actually five too many.

The truth is, I think I would have had a deal with Russia and with China to denuclearize their stock.

I really think we would have had that.

All three of us agreed on it conceptually, and I think we would have done that.

But COVID came along, and we had to fight that battle.

Stock market has been destabilized today.

We're down,

what, 500 points somewhere in that area.

Bitcoin is up almost $800 today.

The market doesn't like the threat of war and especially what's going on

and the possible responses.

I mean,

this is a very concerning day.

Hopefully it all works out, but it's very concerning.

Because as Annie Jacobson told me, on this program a few weeks ago, you know, the first phases of nuclear war, it's pretty clear.

Listen, can you explain what the president has to decide and how he really cannot get advice from

the Pentagon leaders?

Absolutely.

And, you know, Glenn, it's like the a few basics are really important, I think, for listeners to know.

And you and I know this, you know, me having reported the book, you read it, you learn really quickly that one of the most significant hallmarks of nuclear war is that when the missile launches, it is called an ICBM.

And when it launches, it takes approximately 30 minutes to get from one continent to the other.

And the ICBM cannot be redirected or cannot be recalled.

30 minutes.

Then you also have to consider that built into the rubric of nuclear war planning is the concept

that

we must launch our nuclear weapons before they hit the United States.

That is a fundamental.

And that is why a policy called launch on warning exists, which is exactly like it sounds.

The president must launch when he gets a warning that a strategic ballistic missile is en route to the United States.

And now you see.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Annie, how could, because you talk about this in the book.

North Korea launches.

We don't know for sure it's coming for us.

We have no idea if it even has a nuclear warhead in it.

I mean, it may be heading for Canada.

It may just be a dud that never had.

If we launch, then we're first strike.

How do you make that decision?

to launch before it hits a city?

Couple clarifications there that are important.

For starters, we do know where the missile is coming from because we have satellite systems overhead.

We can see it launch, yes.

So we can see it launch in under a fraction, in under one second.

We have satellites parked over our nuclear armed adversaries.

So the system is set up to be alerted immediately.

And then what I learned from reporting the book and speaking to individuals in the military who are inside those bunkers that are receiving the data as it comes from the satellite system down to Earth in these bunkers across the United States as part of nuclear command and control.

Within 100 seconds, they know the trajectory of the ballistic missile.

They know if it's coming

at the United States.

They can tell within 15 seconds, oh, it's not going to Moscow.

Oh, it's not going to Guam.

And so imagine those 100 seconds in that command and control bunker.

Once they know, once they know it's coming to the, and then they discern San Francisco versus East Coast, rather West Coast, East Coast.

Once they know it's coming to the East Coast, the president is being notified immediately.

And then you begin to see that this is a system of systems.

It is a sequence of events that is pre-programmed to occur.

Here's what she says the end

is like after, because every war game ends with complete annihilation.

Listen to this, cut nine.

So take us back again to

what happens at the end, because I want to move on to a couple of other books and we're going to run out of time.

So nuclear winter is what happens.

And

like everything in the book, readers can be reading about what I'm writing and then they can go back into the notes section if they want to understand

where did she get this information?

Because it's not from Annie Jacobson's imagination, tragically.

This is science fact, not science fiction.

For the nuclear winter section, I was able to interview Professor Brian Toon, who is one of the original five authors on the nuclear winter

theory that Carl Sagan is so famous for, but in fact, there were five of them.

Toon was the young student of Sagan at the time.

And he's spent decades since.

Interestingly, so nuclear winter is exactly like it sounds.

Like the sun blots out from 330 billion pounds of soot that gets lofted into the atmosphere from the result of all the nuclear weapons and the mega fires and the cyclones of fire that they produce and the forests burning and the nuclear power plants melting

and the

heat bogs on fire, the pyrotoxins, the cities, it just all lofts into

the troposphere and it blots out the sun.

And

the original idea, because the computer modeling was not anything near what it is today when the paper came out in 1983, the original idea was this could last for a year or so.

And now state-of-the-art climate modeling shows it could last for seven, eight, maybe even ten years.

70% reduction in sum.

The temperature of the earth falls something like 37 degrees.

Large bodies of water from Iowa to Ukraine in the mid-latitudes of the globe just get frozen over.

And that is the death of agriculture.

And without food,

five billion people will die in total according to these models.

Never mind, we haven't gotten into the radiation poisoning and the pathogens and the

plague.

And so man returns to his hunter-gatherer state.

And, you know, the most haunting quote in all of this when I think about nuclear winter and you think about the survivors is the quote from Nikita Khrushchev when he wrote to Kennedy and he said,

after a nuclear war, the survivors would envy the dead.

So now you would think that our leadership on both sides would say no to nuclear war, right?

But how when you see this

honest to God, death cult that we have in places all over the world where they are like, hey, nuclear, you know, I mean, you know, to save the planet, you know, we'd have to eliminate 90% of humans, that they are so Malthusian.

that I'm not convinced that some of these people wouldn't be like okay with that.

That's how crazy some people are.

I agree with

Jason, who said earlier

the real

the explanation on why the president would do this with 62 days left and a war that he's not going to fight,

why he would allow Ukraine to launch these missiles when Russia just said it'll be a possible nuclear response, but it is, will be considered a war by whoever launched them and the ally that gave them those materials, meaning us, against Russia.

Why would you do that?

Why, why?

Because we're in a place where the regime, the deep state, is about to be gutted.

This is their last gasp.

This is the last thing they have to be able to thwart that.

We're playing for keeps here.

I told you after the election, we have to make it 72 days.

And then the real fight really comes, the traditional fight.

But

these 62 days, while they still have power, absolutely anything could happen

because they're playing for the whole ball of wax.

This is something they have planned for over a hundred years.

They're not just going to let it go.

More in a minute.

American Financing is the kind of company you used to hear about when you were a kid.

You know, an honest business with great employees who worked hard to serve you, the customer.

These days, businesses that are like that,

I bet you could name them on one hand.

You know what I mean?

It's a rare commodity now.

In fact, when American Financing first came to me wanting to advertise for him, I didn't want to do it.

I said, no,

I don't trust mortgage companies, especially right now.

It was like 2007, and I'm not going to stake my reputation on representing anything but great companies that are

not

screwing people, quite honestly, because I thought that's what mortgage companies, many of them, were doing.

Over the last two decades, after the collapse of 08, I saw that their clients survived.

American Financing was taken on as one of my clients, and they've been helping people like you get to where they need to be for over two decades.

So give American Financing a call.

You might be surprised surprised at what options you didn't even know you had to be able to reduce your

monthly payments.

Mortgage refis to other forms of debt consolidation, even accessing the high equity you have in your home to pay off those high interest debts.

American Financing could be saving you hundreds of dollars a month, maybe as much as a thousand.

A beautiful side, we're happy.

All right, so Medvedev has just come out with a statement.

Now, you should know Medvedev is always the guy who's like, let's Nukem!

I mean, he is.

He's a little strong.

He's kind of like our John Bolton.

He just came out after we, or not us, but we gave permission to use our missiles

to strike inside of Russia, and Ukraine did did yesterday, which is just a senseless act of madmen, I think.

He just said, Russia's new nuclear doctrine, which was signed two days ago, means NATO missiles fired against our country could be deemed an attack by the bloc on Russia.

Russia could retaliate with weapons of mass destruction against Kyiv and key NATO facilities wherever they're located.

That means World War III.

So what does that mean to you, Jason?

How do you read that?

I think I

actually get a little hope from that, strangely.

He says that they could.

Yes.

But

he specifically called out Ukraine and facilities.

He said NATO facilities.

So I'm assuming

they would determine who gave the targeting information to those missiles.

So it doesn't sound to me like they're ready to fire off ICBMs.

That's what it sounds.

Yes.

And a little bit more measured of a response.

And because he says we could, could,

it gives me hope that they actually try to play the good guy here.

And in this case, I think they are.

This is an act of madness

on our behalf, I think, from our president.

But

that they're going to come out and say, you know, we just passed this and we told you a way to save face is to be magnanimous.

We told you and we could.

Don't do it again because we may not be this magnanimous.

I mean, they're going to fire something back, but I'm hoping that it's not a limited nuclear, you know,

strike, because

that just escalates everything.

Yeah, something to make us consider their threats as more threatening is going to happen.

I'm just not entirely sure what that is.

I still think that a tactical nuclear response is possible, but I don't think it'll be, I don't think it'll be as hardcore as what some people think it would be.

Like, I think that a tactical nuclear strike, like out on a ship at sea or something like that, or possibly a battlefield area, or a simulated nuclear attack, like they don't have to launch a nuclear weapon.

They could do a conventional attack on the nuclear facility in Ukraine.

That would be insane, too.

I think that would, that, that would,

the whole world would be against them if they, they blew up Chernobyl or, you know, one of these others that are, you know, they have control over.

I think that would be insane.

That would be just as bad, I think, as a nuclear attack.

Yeah, and but you can can see that.

But then there's gray area on how we respond because it didn't technically launch a nuclear strike.

So then what do we do about it?

I can see that's how Russia thinks.

So I can see them doing something like that.

They're going to do something.

Thank you, Jason.

Back in a minute with more.

The Glenn Beck program.

There is a there's a dangerous leak.

There is a dangerous leak that just happened.

We don't know who's

these hackers.

We're going to talk about that coming in in a second.

First, let me tell you about Jace Medical.

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

If you've been listening to the program today, you know why that's probably not a good idea,

especially with cutting of cables, it looks like it was China and we could be on the verge of war.

We have to have our own medications and you have to have them in your house.

Good news is there is a way you can ensure that you and your loved ones have medical care when needed.

It's a solution that thousands of people have already discovered.

My family, Stu's family are among them.

It's called the JACE case, and it will allow you to start stocking up a medication right now so you you are prepared.

The Jace case is a personalized emergency kit that contains essential antibiotics and medications that treat most common and deadly bacterial infections.

Five life-saving antibiotics for emergency use.

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

And they also just launched an all-new compound version of Ivermectin.

It's only 30 bucks.

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

So get it now at Jace, J-A-S-E dot com.

we gotta stay together

If we're gonna survive

Stand up straight

and hold the line

It's a new day, a time to rise

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment

this is the Glenn Beck program.

Oh my gosh, Stu is as upset as I am over these hackers we just found out.

Oh man, hackers, yeah, the hackers, somebody hacked in and got the whole report on Matt Gates.

Oh, I mean, even Adam Schiff is probably saying, hey, hey, let's not let that out.

Whatever you do, whatever you do,

don't pay attention when the New York Times prints all of this garbage.

What an unfortunate

circumstance.

Why can't we do anything to stop this?

We can't.

It's impossible.

The hackers are just too good.

My God.

We'll go into that here in just a second.

So, let me talk to you about Mantis X.

Yo own guns, and if you don't, you probably should.

That's step one.

By the way, I haven't read, don't let me forget, I have to read what Sweden just released to their own people about, hey, we could be on the verge of war, and if that happens, you're going to need to protect the homeland.

What?

Could you give us a gun or something to do that?

I know.

Anyway,

you need a gun.

You need a gun in America.

And you need to spend time in the gun range firing round after expensive round so you can keep into practice.

I sound like I'm selling bullets.

Actually, I'm not.

I want to tell you about Mantis X, a way to stop firing round after expensive round.

to be competent and confident in your shooting.

You have to do it.

Well, right now, there's Mantis X.

It's a high-tech, easy-to-use system.

It's widely used by, it started with the Marines, now widely in the military.

It helps you improve your shooting quickly.

You attach it to your firearm, connected to an app on your smartphone or tablet.

And then, whether you're actually firing rounds or even dry firing, it will give you instant feedback on what you're doing right, what you're doing wrong, and how to correct your technique.

I have to tell you, it was amazing how fast I improved, and I'm a good shot.

Be a responsible gun owner.

Increase your competence and confidence today with Mantis X.

Get your Mantis X right now at mantisx.com.

That's mantisx.com.

Okay, all right.

Hackers.

I got to tell you, I'm upset, but I don't think I'm as upset as the Democrats are.

Oh, of course.

They got to be really upset.

You know what they're saying?

Dagnab it.

Dag nab it.

These are not hackers.

They are not saying Jiminy Christmas.

They're saying Jiminy Christmas.

Oh my gosh.

It's that bad.

It's that bad.

Oh, these hackers.

First,

they get that Dobbs decision.

Yeah.

And that gets leaked.

Yeah.

And now this?

Yeah.

I mean, the Democrats have got to be very disappointed in that.

Now, I may have said

the other day that there was zero chance this would not be leaked.

There's no chance

yet.

It's not leaked yet.

It wasn't leaked.

This has nothing to do with my previous statement because this was a hacker.

A hacker who was just like, where should I go?

Oh, I want to get that Matt Gates report.

I bet it's secure.

I bet there's no way of me getting it for political purposes.

Right.

You know what I mean?

And I want to be clear.

This definitely was not a congressional employee of some sort.

No, we know that it's a hacker.

We have no idea who could have gotten into this.

You know, I bet we've already called the cell phone companies.

We can't triangulate anything.

All that is corrupted.

Well, we do have a name.

Oh, we do.

Do you want to know the name?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Adam Schmidt.

The information was downloaded by a person using the name Atlam Beasley at 1.23 p.m.

on Monday.

God of the Beasley clan.

God of the Beasley clan.

Oh, my gosh.

Those Beasleys are

vicious.

Vicious and pernicious hackers.

Hackers, the Beasleys.

Yes.

Now, we don't know what the name means.

Obviously, I would assume not their real name.

Lawyer connected to the case sent an email to the address associated with Atalum Beasley, only to be informed

by an automated apply that the recipient does not exist.

They just don't know who this person could be.

Man.

It's just so disappointing.

It's really amazing how we have all of this technology that could track and listen and find anything, every keystroke recorded but we can't find this hacker but we do know almost immediately that it was hacked you know it's funny because someone will come in and hack a you know some uh some cell phone providers uh information millions billions of of records go out of millions of people and we won't know about it for six months

the next day

We have learned

all about this hack.

It's almost like someone who knew about the hack was able to immediately give that information to the New York Times.

That is, that's great.

These hackers are getting more and more shifty by the day.

Do we know where Sonia Sodomayor

might have been?

I mean,

I didn't.

No, it's a good question.

I mean, anyone could be as guilty as the next person.

You bring up Sona Sodomayor, equally possibly as guilty as anyone else.

The janitor here at the Blaze may have done it, or Sonia Sodomaior.

Sonia Sodomayor, who definitely had nothing to do with the leak of Dobbs.

Nothing.

I don't mean to imply that at all.

No.

No, I doubt.

She's just as upset as anybody else about that leaking of the Jobs decision.

She's probably upset about this Gates thing decision.

She's probably like, oh,

those hackers.

The Dagnabot, they got us again.

Too many Christmas.

It's really disappointing that this continues to happen.

And, you know, of course, I'm sure just a hacker just knows exactly where to go to find this information.

Certainly, maybe, you know, someone who is involved in this ethics report would have the exact knowledge of where this file lived.

But the hacking, though.

Hacking.

Yeah.

You know,

it's probably more hacking than anything else.

And it's not somebody on the inside.

It's not someone on the inside that wants to get in with Dobbs.

It wouldn't be somebody like a Supreme Court justice, Sonoma, that did that.

No, no, first of all, absolutely not on the Dobbs thing.

As we, I guess,

I would be stunned to hear that she or someone from her

office was involved in that.

They checked all of everybody out.

They checked everybody.

They took the magnifying glass out and everything.

Well, they couldn't check the justices because they just wouldn't have done it.

They would not have done that.

They're outraged.

They're outraged.

Now, I am pretty skeptical that Sonoma

was capable of actually doing this on her own because she seems to be

tying her shoes.

Yeah, I didn't say she did it on her own.

No, right.

But some of my own.

But I didn't even say she did it.

You didn't.

I've got to be clear.

That's not what anyone is wrong.

And in this case, there's definitely no interest.

None.

People who don't like Matt Gates,

Democrats, and some Republicans,

no chance that this was a setup and leaked to the New York Times specifically within, gosh, 24 hours.

Let me ask you.

Let me ask you.

Now, a convicted felon

claimed that he was paying the legal fees of the accuser of Matt Gates

and controlling her.

Okay.

A convicted felon.

Now, if you don't know

what this whole report is based on, well,

the report, I mean, well, first of all, they looked into this.

They

looked

into this.

You know, because there's no reason anybody at the DOJ would want Gates out.

Because, I mean, yes, he was effective.

He was probably the biggest voice against the corruption at the DOJ.

However,

this

report was based on something that came years after the DOJ dropped its investigation.

So they investigated, they heard about it, and they investigated it.

They're like, oh, my gosh, this could be the, oh, nope, there's nothing to it.

Well, they didn't file charges.

They didn't necessarily say there there was nothing to it.

They didn't file charges.

Let's look into this.

I don't know because I haven't seen the leaked report like that was going to tell me anything.

Wait, so wait, you're not the hacker?

I'm not the hacker.

All right.

There's one person who's not the hacker.

I'm sorry.

Did I?

The report comes years after the DOJ dropped its investigation into the same claims on the grounds that two central witnesses had serious credibility issues.

That's why they dropped it.

The witnesses had had serious credibility issues.

Yet these are the same two central witnesses the House Ethics Committee has relied on for its critical report of Gates, which has now been hacked.

All this hacking.

Yeah, the two witnesses do have some credibility problems.

The claims arose from Joel Greenberg.

One of the most corrupt Florida politicians of all time.

Among the many things the former Seminole County tax collector admitted to, as part of a wide-ranging case for which he's currently serving 11 years in prison, was falsely accusing a local politician, an opponent of his, Brian Butte, of having sex with a minor,

which is awfully

similarities there.

It's kind of weird, isn't it?

Greenberg also reportedly later attempted to frame his attorney with pornographic images of children.

One New York Times write-up of Greenberg was headlined,

like the tiger king got elected tax collector.

According to the Washington Post, Greenberg admitted to fabricating allegations against a school teacher, a third one, running against him.

Greenberg had sent letters to the school falsely claiming the teacher had inappropriate sexual relationships with a student.

So, I mean,

you know, it's a little credibility problem.

A tad.

Yeah.

A tad.

But I mean, it's not left to the level of hacking.

It's not that type of crime.

No, it's not a hacking level offense.

Boy, you know, it does sound pretty bad.

It's a good thing we don't have all of our nuclear codes online.

I know.

You know, because people would hack them.

Anybody could get them.

This is going to be, you'll see if they ever catch this guy.

Oh, but they won't.

I know they won't.

Because they're so hard to find.

Almost as hard as finding somebody who puts a pipe bomb in front of the DNC or RNC.

no specific case I'm talking about, just using those as an example on January 6th.

Sure.

No date is actually being implied here, but let's say it was January 6th.

Just one date.

You'll never be able to find those guys.

Never.

We've looked so hard.

Can't find them.

I bet it's going to be like this with Mr.

Beasley.

If only we had hackers to get into the records on that pipe bomb case, then we'd learn something.

We just had hackers who knew hackers who could hack into the hackers.

Yes, it's all about the hacking.

Now, this is interesting in that it does not appear to

have been made public at this time.

Oh, no.

So

now the internet's not instant.

No, no, no.

So I'm sure it won't come out, let's say, at some point between now and the confirmation hearings.

No, it won't be leaked because that's not what these hackers wanted, apparently.

That's not what these journalists want either.

No.

These journalists got to have at least a couple of sources incredible sources they would be disappointed because that's not journalism hacking is not journalism they would be disappointed in fact they were so skeptical of hacking they made sure to not uh report on that uh russian disinformation effort on the hunter biden laptop they wanted to write that they didn't know could very well be a political motive behind it could be right we're not gonna take that hack i mean do we know if these are russian hackers we do i would say probably is i would say definitely not.

Well, I'd say definitely not.

They're not Russian.

They're not Russian hackers this time?

Okay.

I mean, this time it's more of a whistleblower.

Would you say a whistleblower?

This is more of a whistleblower feel?

Probably a whistleblower.

You know, a Russian hacker would be wrong, but a whistleblower

might really be the person that we need to protect.

As long as he's blowing the whistle on Matt Gates,

we got to protect him.

Blowing the whistle on, let's say, the hacker that might be under the desk of Sodomayor's

office.

I'm just saying, I'm just pick any desk.

I shouldn't have said her.

Pick any desk.

Right, right.

Okay.

Somebody that has a, you know, a pretty good chance of hacking or just releasing information at other times.

Not Sodomayor,

but just releasing things.

You know, let's say they're under that desk.

That's a whistleblower that needs to be protected.

You know,

these whistleblowers.

Not like hackers.

They need to be protected.

This will be interesting here, Glenn.

I wonder how it will end.

I wonder if this will come out.

And it's not out yet, but I feel like there's a possibility these hackers might be so dastardly that they might just release this to a journalist that has to report on it because it's now in the public eye.

Well, it will be

the only choice.

It will only be after talking to several

insiders that have

knowledge of the case.

They'll verify.

It's important to get the whistleblower's claims out there, Glad.

Right.

And that's why they're always very consistent on this type of information.

Do you know?

I'm reading from the New York Times that even the DOJ was unwilling to exploit the unsubstantiated claims.

Hmm.

Yeah.

I mean, apart from leaking them to the press.

Right.

Of course.

Because really, if you don't file charges against someone for having sex with a 17-year-old in a state where the

age of consent is 18,

would it be

essentially almost the same thing if you just release the accusation to them?

Well, it would be justice.

It would be pretty close.

It would be justice.

Yeah, it would be justice.

I don't know what happened with this story.

You know, look, like, there are.

I don't know.

What What do you mean?

Well, no, I'm saying about the Gates, the actual truth on the Gates thing.

I don't know.

He was definitely involved with some shady people.

I mean, he was friends with the guy you're talking about, the unreliable witness.

And he was with him, friends with him.

And he does seem to be completely unreliable as a witness.

You know, if I might just say, show me your friends, I'll show you your future.

Should have picked better friends.

Yeah, it's always a good idea to pick better friends.

Always a good idea.

And like Gates'

explanation of this is basically like, well, they have all these Venmo transactions going to these, we'll call them women,

that,

and he says, this is just, they're exploiting my generosity to some ex-girlfriends.

That was

his justification for that.

Here's the problem.

Here's the problem.

The DOJ, which we know would love to destroy him,

and

the Democrats, who would love to destroy him, didn't have enough to bring any charges.

So that's a lot.

That's an awful lot.

It's a lot of fun.

Now, that doesn't mean that he's innocent.

It just means that the people who want to destroy him and have destroyed people on absolute lies decided this one was a little too weak to even charge him.

At least with criminal

charges.

So you don't release things

from a hacker to destroy people on innuendo or rumors.

You think somebody broke the law?

Good.

Then use the law to try them.

And that's pretty much your entire line, right?

Like if he had girlfriends who were on the younger side, but still legal, it might go to his judgment, but it wouldn't be a criminal offense.

And so, I mean, you know, Mark Wayne Mullen, who's now a senator,

had an interview where he was saying that everyone's seen Matt Gates

and he's shown all the footage of his naked girlfriends on the house floor and he's disgusting and he uses ED medications chopped up into red bowls.

I mean, the interview's bizarre.

The reason I bring that up is he just said he's voting to confirm Gates.

So like, I don't know what to believe.

I really don't.

Well, he's probably Hitler.

Or Mussolini.

Or Mussolini.

Yeah, but we're going to make friends with him.

We're going to make friends with him.

He gets in a DOJ.

We'll make friends with him.

I'll tell you that right now.

so crazy all right back in just a second these days it seems uh like so much of the business world is bowed down to the leftist mission to spread wokeism it's hard to find a company that's not part of it but patriot mobile is one of those companies clearly and i am proud to be their friends and to be their spokesperson They put cause ahead of profits, and that's one reason we're proud to partner with them.

They offer nationwide, dependable coverage with access to all three major out networks, but you get the same coverage.

You get exactly the same everything, except at a lower price.

And

you're not sending your money so they can take it and distribute it to places like Planned Parenthood.

They work for our side in the Bill of Rights.

Old Mr.

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

Everybody's waiting for the man with a bag.

Cause Christmas is coming again.

He's got a sleeping.

This is one of my daughter's favorite Christmas songs.

And I was like, really?

Man with a bag?

This is as far out as we get.

I'm like, I don't know.

Man with a bag, really.

She's like, Dad.

Christmas is coming.

We're putting it on an album.

And I'm like, yes, yes, ma'am.

And it's her album.

Yeah, you know.

It is.

And it's turning out to be one of my favorite songs.

Really?

It's great.

It is really great.

It's available on the 29th.

It's Black Friday.

Yes.

How confident are you that this thing's on Spotify on Black Friday?

I mean, I feel like it's less than 30%.

I am less confident in that than I am that Sotomayor was the one that leaked the Dobbs decision.

There you go.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, anyway,

the Supreme Court ruled yesterday, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled a second time that Democrats cannot count the ballots that are undated or misdated in the recount of the state's U.S.

Senate records.

Is anybody going to stop these guys?

I mean,

you know, they're like, yeah, well, courts, nobody listens to the courts anyway.

You know, somebody should listen to the courts.

Somebody should.

You know?

It seems as though getting rid of the rule of law might lead to anarchy.

Of course, and again, these are, many of these states are the ones who were like just four weeks ago, we got to stop the port.

This is crushing our state and our city.

And now they're like, we're going to defend those people who have come in and are in our city and destroying it right now.

Glenn Beck.

Okay, what are your instincts telling you about the country's future?

I mean, mine are telling me that Trump's biggest challenges might not come from the Democrats.

Although, you know, with war on the horizon, what happened last night kind of maybe.

maybe change.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, make sure you get the podcast.

It's likely going to come from the BRICS nations, the real threat.

They've been putting together a coordinated attack against the dollar.

In fact, it's already begun.

By selling dollar assets and buying gold, they're trying to crash the dollar and replace it with their own gold-backed BRICS-based currency.

If they succeed, even with Trump at the steering wheel, inflation could skyrocket and just destroy the value of your savings and retirement.

Please think ahead.

Do like the BRIC nations are doing.

Get some gold to back your accounts.

Not everything in gold, but 10% of whatever you have saved.

You've worked your whole life and you've saved.

Take 10% and don't put it into paper gold.

Get real gold.

a merry little Christmas.

Oh, I don't know where she gets that talent.

Must run strong deep in the family, you know.

Maybe from her father's side.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know who she is, but

it's a new Christmas album that is coming out

called Home for Christmas.

It comes out.

It'll be out Black Friday.

Okay.

So in case you just joined us and you haven't heard the news,

Vladimir Zelensky used our long-range missiles to attack

Russia yesterday.

You know, something

that Vladimir Putin said would be a red line.

On Monday, what happened?

On Monday, we said,

when I say we, whoever is president of the United States, let's just use air quotes and say Joe Biden,

told Ukraine that they could use those long-range missiles.

Again,

Vladimir Putin said red line.

In fact, they had something that they had proposed in September,

but they they stamped it and signed it on Tuesday in response to our announcement on Monday.

The doctrine now says an attack from a non-nuclear state, if backed by a nuclear power, that would be us, will be treated as a joint assault on Russia.

Oh, that's great.

So what is Putin going to do?

We don't have any idea.

But

then again, I don't have any idea why we would have done this in the first place.

Corey Mills joins us, us, the congressman from Florida.

Hello, Corey.

How are you?

Glenn, how are you?

So how disturbed are you by what's happening?

Well, extremely concerned.

I mean, look, for four years,

Ukraine had been asking for long-range capabilities, have been asking to be able to hit within the outlying areas inside of Russia in an effort to try and prevent continual assaults, and it was denied, denied, denied.

And here we go as we're we're getting into the President Trump's administration as presidency.

He's continuing to try and spiral things further out of control and escalate them to another degree.

The benefit we have, however, is that we have an exceptionally strong president coming in.

And every one of the world leaders knows that President Trump does not suffer fools and that he does not have the weakness which invites aggression.

So I think that even with all this taking place,

I think that both Putin and Zelensky understand that President Trump coming in is not going to necessarily say, it's okay for you guys to continue this back and forth.

It's okay to continue the atrocious events that are occurring.

He's going to come with an actual solution and say what kind of sanctioning, what kind of imposement.

Because remember, it was President Trump who actually removed America from the INF Treaty, which had been violated by Russia time and time again.

It was President Trump who removed us from JCPOA.

It was President Trump who enforced one of our adversaries, China, to actually buy billions of dollars in agricultural goods or face tariffs.

And it was President Trump who secured our borders with Romaine and Mexico and secured it by trying to build the wall.

So people know this, they're taking notice, but it's disturbing to me that President Biden is doing everything he can to leave President Trump with the biggest mess possible to stop him from actually getting onto the America First agenda.

It also strikes me as the deep state going into

survival mode.

Well, it's the deep state going into survival mode, the admin nanny state who continues to want to keep the corruption, the power.

You know, just like you, Glenn Boltos, we're 10th Amendment absolutist.

I believe in completely eliminating a large amount of departments and agencies throughout DC and returning those powers back to the individual states.

I believe that, you know, again, we can harp on Woodrow Wilson's 17th Amendment in 1913, but the power resides with the people.

The power resides with the independent states.

And this is what the federal government, and this is what all these bureaucrats, these unelected bureaucrats who think they're lawmakers, want to hold on to.

And so they will create as much chaos as possible, whether it be through a pandemic, whether it be through global warfare, whether it be through regional destabilization, and an effort to try and maintain their power so that it doesn't move away.

Trevor Burrus, Jr.: So the president cannot, or the president-elect cannot call Putin or

Zelensky and

knock it off.

I'm 61 days or 62 days away from being the president, and you don't want to screw with me.

Knock it off right now.

He can't make that call, can he?

Legally.

He can, actually, to some extent.

I mean, look, we have a good friend of mine, Congressman Mike Waltz, who was just appointed as national security advisor.

I talked to him yesterday, and there's a tremendous amount of world leaders who are calling to congratulate the president.

And, you know, the president could simply say, listen, as you know, I'm coming in in 61 days.

I would ask that we go ahead and de-escalate things now before we come in and start thinking of a solution to work together.

So we've already seen where Hamas, the minute that President Trump was elected, started to ask for a ceasefire.

I mean, you saw where Russia was starting to stop its continuation, and now obviously Biden's continuing to ramp that back up so he can also do more to feed the defense, military, industrial complex, which are going to be his future donors and future paychecks.

But yeah, President Trump absolutely is already in talk with world leaders and his national security advisor, Tulsi, as the director of national intelligence and everyone is very much in the know on this.

What was shocking, however, Glenn, and this should be shocking for viewers as well, during the transition, you're supposed to be transparent with the incoming administration.

And Michael Waltz, the national security advisor, wasn't even briefed that the actual long-range missiles had been approved by Biden and Jake Sullivan.

This is

mean, this is madness.

I've never seen anything like this before, ever.

No.

I mean, you just don't.

It's unprecedented.

I mean, look at FEMA.

Look at all the weaponization.

Look at what they've done to our economy.

Look what they've done to our open borders.

Look at the 300,000-plus children who've gone missing, who are being trafficked into the country.

Look at how FEMA has been weaponized to not help those if you have a Trump sign as good practice.

And I'm using the rabbit ears on this.

I mean, look at what's happened with China's aggression ramping up in the Taiwan seas.

Look at Indo-PACOM's threats.

Look at Russia and China.

Look at Iran's continual aggressions in the October 7th incident on Israel.

Look at the Katai of Hezbollah in Iraq and how they're starting to ramp up.

Look, the list goes on and on with how the world is being set on fire because of this administration.

So, what do you expect Putin to do?

Two days ago, or no, yeah, two days ago, they said that it could be a nuclear strike.

I don't think they're going to do that,

But it could be a nuclear strike.

And it would be war

between us and that NATO ally

that is supplying all of these things.

That's us.

How does he continue to back down on his red lines without losing his position and credibility in his own country?

Well, I think that it is a bit of saber-rattling.

And I think that he knows that things will change in the next 61 days.

I think that right now he's trying to just get Biden Biden and everyone to be on notice to say, this is enough.

You're not going to continue to do this and actually approve threats onto our nation.

But we missed the boat a long time ago.

If you back up to 1994, when we signed the original Budapest Memorandum, it was us, the Federation of Russia, Ukraine, and UK Northern Ireland.

That was recognizing Ukraine's independent sovereignty and their borders as a nuclear nonproliferation agreement.

The minute that was violated in 2014, oh, wait, that was under Obama and Biden.

The minute that that was actually done, they should have levied that treaty, regardless if it has teeth on it or not.

You could have brought that to the international communities, but they didn't.

And they allowed to continue on until it was actually President Trump who came forward and said, the only way to stop this isn't by giving band-aids and giving food, it's by allowing to have defense articles to be supplied to Ukraine for its own defense.

And when that was approved, Russia then stood at bay in Donetsk, in Lugansk, in Mariupol.

Now, fast forward to when President Biden comes into office, Russia immediately starts their invasion because they knew that nothing was going to happen because the precedence has been set.

And so I think there's saber rattling that's going on by Vladimir Putin.

I think that's necessary.

I wouldn't be surprised if he does have some type of a mid-range, long-range missile strike, an increase in artillery,

things like that on already hard impacted areas.

But I think that he understands that in 61 days, there's a new boss in town.

Let me switch gears to Matt Gates.

I don't know if you heard, but darn it!

Hackers somehow or another found their way

into wherever that very confidential Matt Gaetz investigation was being held.

And now it hasn't been leaked yet, but I'm sure the press doesn't like to go with just hacked material because we learned that with the Hunter Biden laptop thing.

But, gosh, that thing is going to be coming out now, probably soon.

What are your thoughts on this?

and the whole Matt Gates thing?

Look, Matt has been an ardent defender of not just President Trump, but of the rule of law.

And we have seen him time and time again, whether it be in the Judiciary Committee or others, where he's gone after this weaponization.

And the FBI knows it, and the Department of Injustice knows it.

That's why more agents have either retired or what was recently released is that many out of the Department of Justice and the FBI are actually seeking external counsel from lawyers to be able to make sure that they can lawyer up because they know that Matt is going to come in and clean house.

So it's not surprising that a gentleman who's going to come in, clean up the Department of Justice, who's going to go after those who weaponized lawfare, has, oh, a confidential leak that is now coming out, which, by the way,

was supposed to have been held within the Congressional Ethics Committee, which the minute that a member is no longer a member, they lose their jurisdiction.

And his resignation after the appointment of AG would have basically null and voided their investigation at that point.

But it's not surprising to me that this

mysterious leak, this cyber hack that only involved Matt Gates has come up whenever they know that Department of Justice, the FBI, and others are going to be seriously looked into investigated and proper oversight being put in place.

And again, this is the same administration.

This is the same FBI who admitted to violating FISA, Section 702, Title I, 287,000 plus times to pry and spy on the American people, which is why I did not vote for the reauthorization of this.

And so the idea that they could have utilized these secret FISA courts or they could have had some nefarious cyber attack, of course they would, because they want to do anything they can to stop his confirmation or his recess appointment so that he doesn't come after the deep state.

Well, I will tell you that,

you know, if he did something, then you make a case and you charge him with it.

I'm so sick and tired of

the smear and the leaks and

the, well, people with knowledge said.

I don't care what people with knowledge said.

If you can charge him, then charge him.

If you can't, then you can't.

I mean,

this smearing of people by un And this has gone on, by the way, for what, four or five years now?

I mean, if you have something, then charge him, indict him, go before a jury of his peers, give him his Fourth and Sixth Amendment rights.

Yeah.

We're just smearing people to death, and it's wrong.

And that doesn't mean that they're innocent of everything, but

we have a rule of law here.

Well, but that's what they want to destroy.

That's why you heard throughout this entire election period, democracy, democracy, democracy, when in fact we know under Article 4, Section 4, we are a constitutional republic, which means that we believe in the rule of law, where democracy believes in mob rule.

And so what they figured out is this, and I learned this in my first term in Congress, is that you can never do enough good and never be accused of enough bad.

And it's not about what you've actually done, but what they can accuse you on and what they can slander you upon.

You know, slander, defamation, that right there, because public figures are considered to be held in a higher regard, is almost impossible to prove.

And these media outlets who have zero actual evidence, if they have three

and they use this as such an easy thing, oh, well, we had three confidential or anonymous sources.

Therefore, we can write about it because it's been confirmed through three sources that we won't disclose.

And so it's just abused more and more and more to try and go ahead and play politics to try and hurt or impact someone's credibility, to diminish what they're trying to say, even if it be fact by killing their credit and their character, or by simply just trying to prevent them from confirmation, which is what they're trying to do with Matt Gates, to guarantee that he doesn't come in and clean up the Department of Injustice.

So in this short interview, he mentioned the evils of Woodrow Wilson.

He talked about the 10th Amendment, and he talked about a constitutional republic.

If you were watching me on Instagram, there'd just be screen hearts coming out of my chest the whole time.

Corey, thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

God bless.
