Let me tell you a little bit about rough greens.

Rough greens is not a dog food.

It's something you sprinkle on your dog's food and they're going to love it.

At least I think they are.

Miles loves it, right?

Your dogs love it.

Oh yes.

Oh yes.

It's addicting, I think, to dogs.

It is.

I think it is.

They love it.

Love it.

Lick the bowl clean.

And that is really unique.

I don't know if you had problems with your dogs eating, but Uno really had a problem eating.

And now they lick the bowl clean.

Now, the good news is you put this on your dog's food, and not only does it help them eat

and help them enjoy it, it actually has all of the vitamins and nutrients and the probiotics, all the stuff that's been sterilized out of your dog's food.

It helps put all of that stuff back in and they lead a happier and healthier life.

Just try it with your dogs, roughgreens.com/slash Beck.

Roughgreens.com/slash Beck.

Try it now and watch the difference in your dog.

All right, we've got a lot to cover today, including a new way to look at things.

Next.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together, it's a corner surviving.

Stand up straight and hold the line.

It's a middle day of time to rise.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to the program.

Well, I'm waiting for the apology from all of those that called the Freedom Caucus members terrorists, that they didn't want anything, that what they were going to do was destroy the country.

I don't know, the things that they got for standing up against McCarthy seem to be pretty reasonable and something that I think both sides of the aisle should be happy about.

But that's just me.

We'll talk about that and how the world is inside out and upside down and what to do about it in 60 seconds.

Having pain in your life isn't uncommon.

Millions of people suffer from it every day.

And if you don't have it now, you will.

When that inflammation hits your joints, whether it's from regular exercise or just the day-to-day grind grind or the effects of aging, it is awful.

Awful.

You don't have to live in pain every day.

If you have severe pain, and

usually our pain is caused from some sort of inflammation, my back pain is caused from the inflammation of the discs.

Everything is inflammation.

It causes us to age more rapidly.

It is the

beginning of all trouble, really, in our bodies.

So when people say, I take ibuprofen, you know, it's good.

It never works for me.

Never.

And I've even tried the strong stuff.

You know, you can only get by prescription 800 milligrams of that.

Woohoo!

You want to watch that closely.

Nothing works for me.

I took Relief Factor.

I didn't think it would work.

Three weeks later, I'm testifying to you, it took away my pain.

It is, to me, a miracle drug.

Three-week quick start, only $19.95.

It's a a trial pack try it now relief factor.com or 800 for relief 800 for relief relief factor feel the difference okay i don't know about anybody else but um i'm thinking that it worked out pretty good uh holding mccarthy you know for 15 votes i don't know but glenn it was such an embarrassment and it was such a

can you believe the dysfunction in the party no all that no i can't oh gosh four days We delayed their important work by a few days.

Yeah.

That's

yeah.

So here's what they got.

A minimum 72-hour reading period for all bills presented to Congress.

Now, you would think that, well, we already have that because that's exactly what President Obama.

I'm just going to just point out, the Freedom Caucus actually got in writing what President Obama said he was going to do and never did.

72 hours to read a bill.

Why is that important?

Because we don't have a constitutional republic anymore.

The way this is being run is there is no appropriations committee, really.

There is no way to have the power of the purse with Congress because they don't make a budget.

They just give you one lump sum and then let the president divvy it out.

That's unconstitutional.

That's not the way anybody does that.

Nobody does that.

You have a budget.

Okay.

They don't have that.

You also no longer have the same process of debate on the floor.

When was the last time you saw, except for last week, when was the last time you saw Congress all sitting together as a House of Representatives and debating and have people behind them listening to them?

Everything that you have seen on the House floor, where somebody gets up to make a statement, there's nobody else in the house.

Literally, no one else in the house.

That's all made for TV.

And this is why one of the first things they do, and this is Republicans and Democrats, one of the first rules they pass is to make sure C-SPAN cameras can't be pointed at the gallery.

Yes.

Because they don't want you to see that no one's there.

Correct.

So the only reason you saw any of this stuff with McCarthy and like Matt Gates and the guy being restrained and all.

The only reason you saw any of that is because the speaker wasn't in place yet and the rule wasn't set yet so that the C-SPAN cameras could be pointed at the gallery.

Now they can't.

You're never going to see that stuff again for two years.

Because they hadn't put those rules in yet, you got this small window of time to actually see what was happening.

Right.

You need transparency.

This is our government.

We vote.

They're representing us.

I want to see what they're doing as they represent us.

So there was no debate.

It was all decided by Nancy Pelosi and Kevin McCarthy.

And then it was Chuck Schumer and Turtleface.

And those four

were making the decisions of what would come to the floor of the House and the Senate.

And then they would give it to you, you know, maybe five hours before a vote.

It's 2,000 pages.

You can't read it.

You need attorneys.

You need your staff to go over what is in that bill.

That's what the House Freedom Caucus just accomplished for you.

Conservatives who are against this, will you, you don't have to apologize, will you at least admit this is something good?

Democrats who said, these guys are terrorists, it's in the hands of

crazy people.

Is that crazy?

What they got, is that crazy?

Or does that work to your advantage as somebody who

belongs to the United States of America as a voting citizen?

Isn't this a good thing?

Now, they also got a commitment on a committee to study potential FBI abuses against the American public.

That's a church committee.

And I'll explain that later next hour.

That is really, really good.

How about this for everybody who thinks it's an extremist thing on the left?

Term limits.

They're going to get a vote.

We all know how it's going to turn out.

But they're at least going to get a vote on term limits.

That's something that almost every American is for.

One of the most popular things in our discourse.

Correct.

80% of people

support it.

Correct.

So how is this a bad thing for America?

For Republicans or Democrats.

This is the first time I've seen a group of people actually do the work of the American people and take all the arrows and keep standing.

When's the last time you saw anybody do that in Congress?

Not for some special interest, not for something that is really divisive.

None of those are divisive.

When's the last time you saw that?

Congratulations to the House Freedom Caucus.

I wish these guys were in charge, honestly, because

they're only asking to live by the Constitution.

That's a good thing.

A really good thing.

So congratulations, America, you won.

Now, we're going to get into this a little later.

But I want to talk to you about how the world is completely inside out.

And I've spent a lot of weeks reading and studying and praying and looking at what is the message that I can bring to you

that will be helpful and additive to your life.

How can we save our nation?

I will tell you that I truly believe the only thing that will save our nation, really, truly, miraculously save it,

is God, is if we turn back to the Lord and beg forgiveness and ask for his blessings again.

If we don't do that, we are going to go the way of every other empire

of history.

And we will find ourselves in true slavery, unlike anything that the world has seen ever before, because China is the future,

except it'll be global.

So as I'm watching the rioters in Brazil, which we'll talk about later, And I'm seeing what's going on.

They're trying to say that this is, you know, January 6th.

This is nothing like January 6th, although it has many of the same motivations

as what Americans who voted for Donald Trump were feeling.

And that is,

this is us against the machine.

This is us against not Republicans, Democrats.

But this is a machine that is crushing the average person.

I want to give you the perspective here to think about that what you're really fighting is not left and right.

What you're really fighting is not Democrat and Republican.

What you're really fighting, and I said this to you last week and I want you to understand it before I add in something today.

What you're fighting is a globalist fascistic movement called the Great Reset,

which really is run by the global corporations and the elite

presidents, prime ministers, governors, parliaments of the West.

It's an international fascistic sort of system.

Business and government colluding because they know better.

Then on the other side, you have the

national

great reset, if you will, the national fascist.

And that is China and Russia, where it's all run by a bunch of oligarchs or, you know, the party in China.

And they collude with business to make money and keep the average person down at the bottom of the ladder.

That's what you think you're fighting.

But what we're actually fighting is international

fascist.

That's the great reset.

That's what America is pushing for in Joe Biden.

And then you have the Chinese model, the national fascists.

You're leaving out something else.

The locals.

And that's where we are.

And that's why so many people who are

former liberals.

You'll read this from people on their tweets or their comments on things.

They'll say,

it's just too crazy to hear a conservative talk about, you know, going local and think local and, you know, support

your farmers market.

Yeah, yeah.

You know why it's weird?

Because we admit you were right about some of this stuff.

You were right about international wars.

Maybe we should back off of some of that stuff and mind our own business.

You were right about the government and business colluding.

You're right.

And you were right that the power really is local.

So

why are we arguing still?

Local, if we fix ourselves locally, the power remains closest to the people.

This is the basic principle of the American Constitution.

You keep all of the power closest to the people, not in some far-distant city of Washington, or God forbid, in some far-distant EU or the United Nations.

You keep it closest to you because you have the best ability to fix the problems on the ground.

If I call 911 because my house is on fire, I want that 911 call to go to my local community that is in touch with my local fire department.

I don't want it to go to some national 911 call that will prioritize which city is more important and then filter it down to my local.

I want it local.

That's the most effective way to fight the fire.

That's what we're doing.

And that's what you're really feeling.

The media is helping either China or the Great Reset crowd.

So either the international fascist or the national fascist.

The media is helping both of those two and providing you with a false choice.

It's one or the other.

What do you want, China?

What do you want?

Well, no, I want local.

And local means the constitution.

That's what they don't have a constitution like this around the rest of the world, but we do.

So we can understand it better.

But that's why you're seeing riots in Brazil.

That's why you're seeing them all throughout Europe that's why farmers are standing up in the Netherlands wait a minute we can't grow food this way

because they're the local fire department they know

okay

so I want to change the subject just a bit to

what is it that you believe in

What institution today do you believe in?

I told you, there would come a time where the world would be inside out, upside down,

and everything that you thought was solid will be liquid.

I want to give you a minute here, 60 seconds, to think: Are we there yet?

I am.

I think we are.

Everything is upside down and inside out.

Nothing you thought you could trust, you can trust.

So now we feel alone and panicked.

Should we?

60 seconds.

Back in a minute.

American Financing, NMLS, 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

So January might be called Buyer's Remorse Month, as I'm sure this past year you spent a lot more money on gifts and food and everything else than you thought you would because prices are through the roof.

If you are a homeowner, though, you've got an opportunity to pay off some of that holiday debt and maybe even put some money back into savings.

Now, this is really important.

Talk about a cash-out refinance of your mortgage with American Finance.

If you have high interest cards, any credit card that you have, you're probably paying anywhere from 18 to 25% now.

And that's going to get worse and worse and worse.

The equity in your home is at the highest that it will be probably this year because your home price is going to go down.

You have a limited opportunity as a window closes to take that high interest rate that you're paying on your credit cards, throw it and roll it into your home where you have equity, which will balance things out, and put it in there where you'll get a 5% interest rate instead of a 25% interest rate.

It will give you breathing room, save almost up to $700 a month for the average person.

Start today, you could skip up to two mortgage payments, giving you additional savings.

So call American Financing at 800-906-2440.

800-906-2440 or AmericanFinancing.net.

10 seconds, station ID.

So is there anything that you can think of that you have absolutely faith Let me rephrase it.

Is there anything in our society that has not failed?

People have failed us.

Institutions have failed us.

In many cases, our churches have failed us in one way or another.

Our political parties have failed us.

Our banks.

Our checks and balances have failed us.

Have they not?

Is there anything that hasn't, that you feel hasn't really truly failed us?

Nobody's perfect.

You're not talking about that, though.

You're not talking about an occasional failure.

No, I'm talking about a systematic kind of failure.

I mean, there's some things.

I think the military,

at least our

people, our soldiers, I think, are pretty darn good.

But as a system,

it's a problem.

Our day-to-day police officers, I tend to trust.

But again,

is now set up to fail.

Yeah.

There's not a lot of examples.

The courts have had some good moments lately, but also there's plenty of bad ones you could cite as well.

Yeah, and you could also cite the local courts that are now dismissing people for bail and everything else.

The system

has failed.

It's hard to find one.

Okay, so

I want to give you

something

that we've heard a million times,

But I look at it with new eyes.

Charity suffer long.

It is kind.

Charity doesn't envy.

Charity

isn't vain.

It's not puffed up.

It doesn't behave unseemly.

It doesn't seek her own.

It isn't easily provoked.

It doesn't think evil.

It doesn't rejoice in iniquity.

It rejoices in the truth.

It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Listen to this.

Charity

never

faileth.

But where there be prophecies, they shall fail.

Whether they be tongues, they shall cease.

Whether there be knowledge, they will vanish away.

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

But then, that which is perfect,

then that which is in part shall be done away.

When I was a child I spoke as a child.

I understood as a child.

I thought as a child.

But when I became a man I put away these childish things.

For now we see through the glass darkly, but then face to face, now I know in part.

But then I shall know even as I have

known.

And now abideth faith, hope, and charity.

These three, the greatest, is charity.

Charity

never

fails.

What does that mean when we're looking at our society?

I'll give you the answer when we come back.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Everything we know, every system we have

has failed, has failed.

And we've done, you know, our best to figure out, you know, what are we going to do?

I again

reiterate that I think the only thing to save us is God.

But God is truth.

And where do we find these eternal truths?

Well,

when you look at eternal truths, one thing we all know, I don't care if you're religious or not, love never fails.

Whether there be prophecies, they'll fail.

Whether there are tongues, they will cease.

Whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

But love suffers long.

It is kind.

It doesn't envy.

Love doesn't parade itself.

It's not puffed up.

It doesn't behave rudely.

It doesn't seek its own.

It's not provoked.

It doesn't think evil.

It doesn't rejoice in iniquity.

It rejoices in the truth.

And it bears all things, believes all things, hopes in all things, endures in all things.

I don't care if you're religious or not, if you define love, that is how you would define love.

So

love is the answer, but I want to break this down.

I want to go back to the original word that you would find in King James, and that is charity.

What is charity?

Charity begins

one of two ways.

Do your responsibility

as an American.

Give more.

Give it to the IRS.

And the IRS will give it to those in need.

That's not charity.

That's not charity.

It does not require any kind of gratitude on the blessings that you have because it just takes it.

Charity begins with gratitude.

And I believe this is the biggest missing piece that we have to put in before we can find love for one another or anything else.

We have to find

gratitude.

There are some studies that have been done that are quite amazing.

And they separated about 300 adults.

And they were people that were seeking mental health counseling.

And so they were told they're going to be put into an experiment.

And

what they did is they assigned, they broke them into three categories.

All three received counseling services.

but the first group was instructed to write a letter of gratitude to another person each week for three weeks, whether they sent it or not.

Find somebody that you're grateful for and write them a letter.

The second group was asked to write about their deepest thoughts and their deepest feelings about negative experiences.

The other group didn't have to write anything.

Didn't do anything.

What they found was that those who wrote the gratitude letter letters whether they sent them or not

were significantly better in mental health in just four weeks and 12 weeks after their writing exercises stopped it was still beneficial to them

so gratitude actually changes the way your mind works.

They found that the people who were

writing with we words, were writing about gratitude, were so much better off.

In fact, the ones who had negative emotions, those who were ruminating on their negative experiences, those people tended on becoming even more bitter.

Now look at our society.

Our society is not using we words, we're using them.

They and them,

they're responsible.

They're the problem.

Not we can solve this.

We are being trained to be pessimistic.

We are being trained to pit ourselves against one another.

And instead of looking for things we're grateful for, we are looking for things that we're pissed off about.

May I suggest that we stop that activity and start looking for the things that we're grateful for?

They then went out to this group and said, pass it on.

Here's some money.

Pass it on.

You just figure out who you want to pass it to, who you think deserves it, and how much they deserve.

When they did this, They found that across the participants, when people felt more grateful, their brain activity was actually different.

And it was different from those who actually

were giving money as related to guilt or even their desire to help a cause.

So I really believe in puppy dogs.

So I'm going to give the puppy dogs, you know, need sweet eyes charity.

You can have that.

But if you're giving it because you love little puppy dogs and you want to help them on that cause, it's not as powerful as being grateful for those people who are helping little puppy dogs and giving it to them because you're grateful to them.

And it is certainly those who felt guilt, like I'm going to get in trouble if I don't give this money.

It doesn't change.

Now, here's what happens:

you actually have a fundamental

change in your brain.

They say it's a greater neural sensitivity in the medial

pre-frontal cortex.

Here's what happens.

You have a change in the brain area where you learn and make decisions

and it becomes stronger.

And it's a practice that doesn't happen right away.

It's a practice that you need to build up over time, about a month, and then it starts to show differences in the way you think, the way you behave, your happiness level, your depression level.

It makes you stronger as an individual.

And again,

it's really all about being charitable.

Again, giving to something

isn't the same as gratitude.

Being grateful.

for the people, being grateful for the opportunity.

That's what leads to charity, true charity.

Gratefulness leads to love.

Love is charity.

We're not grateful for anything.

How many people are grateful today?

All you hear about are the complaints.

I have said for a very long time, I believe this audience is going to be the audience, the group of people, that will save America from its disaster.

We'll save it, whether in whole or in parts.

It will be responsible in the end for saving her.

So I want to start a couple of things.

I'm going to ask anybody who is

who takes that charge seriously, that we are each of us responsible

for playing a role in either our destruction or in our salvation.

I want to start something with those who are serious about that, and I'll lay it out over the next few days and few weeks.

And it won't be all of the audience, I'm sure.

But I ask you to be involved.

You're listening to this broadcast at this time for a reason.

If you look at the mental health situation in our country alone, do you know that suicide for African-American men is up 56%?

It's up 30% among our children?

Why is that?

I think one of the reasons is because we lack gratitude.

You know, I thought about this over the holiday.

In some ways, I lack gratitude for all of the bad things that happen in my life.

My father used to tell me there is no such thing as bad.

It's what you decide to do with whatever the situation that presents itself.

I've gone through depression.

My family has gone through depression.

Every single one of my children now have gone through serious depression.

I should be very grateful that I went through depression and I had a mother that

committed suicide because I'm very well aware of it and I can can spot it early, and I know how to,

somewhat, know how to deal with it with my children.

We have all been given our problems so we can conquer them and then help someone else out that has that exact same problem.

I'm grateful for that.

It gives me a purpose and a meaning and some steering.

You know, it gives me a compass.

Oh, okay, I should probably head towards that direction.

I'd like to ask you to start a gratitude journal just

on a piece of paper, on a notebook, whatever.

Just

every morning and every night, if you can.

Otherwise, just every night.

Write.

Doesn't matter what it is.

It's going to probably start out really stupid.

I'm really grateful that I can go to sleep right now.

I'm really grateful that the day is over.

Whatever it is, it probably will start out very simply.

But over a month,

at the end of the month, I want you to compare the two and you will see it will deepen.

And start to look for the things

and the people that you are grateful for

and write them down.

It will change the way you think.

It will change the way you process information in a very positive way.

Back in a minute.

Well, it's a new year and you've resolved that one of the things you want to change in your life is your stress level, which by the way, gratitude shows reduces stress.

Maybe you should start with the stress you feel about your car.

I'm so grateful for my car, even when it breaks down.

And then I'm grateful for Car Shield.

When it breaks down, you need somebody watching your back for those big, huge things.

CarShield now offers protection plans for around $100 a month.

The Glenn Beck Program.

So, I want to play something I posted on Instagram the other day on Friday.

I saw this clip, and it comes from a play with a fairy godmother.

And

I just posted it with, to me,

this is the way Monday feels.

Not to fear, little children.

I will help

not to fear, little children.

I will help

not to fear, little children.

Oh my gosh.

So,

if you are just listening to that, the fairy godmother suspended above the stage.

At that moment, you hear her crash.

That is her, the suspension mechanism breaking and her falling to the ground in a very violent fashion.

Not to fear, little children.

I will help.

It's right on beat, too.

Like, it's almost designed.

And I mean, it's so tremendous.

And to see the fairy godmother and her skirt just kind of go down,

and then you don't see her hit the floor.

So it helps you not go, ow.

Yeah, it looked like it was a little rough.

Yeah.

And I like how it's also encapsulated in the phrase, not to fear, little children.

Like, everything's going to be fine.

I really just, I saw that clip and I went, that's Mondays.

That is Mondays.

All right.

We've got a couple of things.

First of all, how was your weekend, Stu?

It was very good.

I don't know if you know this.

The Philadelphia Eagles, number one seed in the playoffs.

No, excited about that.

Excited.

They got the national championship team for college on tonight.

I wasn't screaming at the Cowboys at all this weekend.

Oh, wow.

I wasn't.

I mean, see, now that you're actually getting into sports a little bit, mainly because your son is into it,

it's going to be fun to watch your life.

you know, be completely tortured like every other Cowboys fan around here.

That's fun.

That'll be fun for me to enjoy at least.

I'm already, I mean, look, as an Eagles fan, I'm always tortured no matter what happens, even when they win.

So I'm used to it.

But

you don't understand the pain you're about to indulge in.

So,

you know, there was the

quarterback that was the standing quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys.

Starting quarterback?

Are you talking about Dak Prescott?

Yeah, Prescott.

He hurt himself and then shut up.

He was wonderful this weekend.

Yeah, and then

he was replaced with the second strength.

Cooper Rush, yes.

And he would seem to, I don't know anything about, he seemed to be doing quite well.

Yes, he did do very well.

And then Prescott got better, came back in, and

doesn't look quite as good

as the second string guy.

You know,

there's a lot of people around here making that argument these days, and I

revel in it.

I enjoy it so much to hear every word of these points and arguments being made.

But yes, it does seem like he's very good at completing passes to the other team.

Yes.

He led the league in interceptions, but he also missed five games this year.

So I keep, I'm told all the time he's some elite quarterback.

I've never noticed it before.

I don't know what it takes to be an elite quarterback.

That's not it.

But there's a couple of quarterbacks out there, like the one in Tampa.

He's a very good example.

He doesn't seem to be quite as elite.

You're saying that who isn't.

Wait, wait, I don't think I understand your point here.

You're saying it may be completely invalid.

What's his name?

Tom Brady.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Not quite as good as it used to be.

No,

he's getting older, but he's still the.

He should have quit last year.

Should have quit.

It's been a rough year for Tom.

I mean, after a lot of really good years in a row,

it's been a rough year.

And yet he's still in the playoffs.

Is it?

Yeah, right.

But was it worth the family?

I mean, I don't know.

You've made the choice of it.

You know,

that's definitely the.

I think he did.

That's what people say.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Like his family.

You know, his wife.

That's what people say.

Is she saying he chose publicly saying that?

She's publicly saying,

we made a deal.

You were out.

You were out.

I want you with the family.

In the same way that it matters how you vote, it matters how you spend your money and where you're putting it, when you're putting it into the economy.

Every chance you get to buy American, and I mean real American, we should be doing so.

A lot of American manufacturing have slipped away over the years and is gone, and it is a lost skill that we're going to have to remember and retrain at some point.

I love partnering with companies like Grip6, the people that are trying to give you the true American experience, and they're doing it for the right reasons.

They're doing it because they believe as a country, we have to come back.

We have to have these skills.

So when you buy simple things like socks from Grip Six, you're supporting the American ranchers who raise specially bred sheep that produce the wool, the American manufacturers who wash it, process it, weave it into socks that will keep your feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

American business owners who have accepted the risk that comes along with using only American-made products and American labor.

Stand up, straight, and hold the light.

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

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the the Glenn Beck program.

So, let's talk about what happened last week.

It was,

no, the only thing worse, okay, the Civil War was worse, and then January 6th, of course, was worse.

Then, I think it was Apollo 11 that burned up on the platform.

Then,

yeah.

Then was this out-of-control group of 20 conservatives that hijacked like a bunch of terrorists taking a plane to Cuba just to keep Kevin McCarthy out or was it to negotiate for extremist things?

Holy cow.

I would hope that all Americans see, and I mean all Americans, independents and even Democrats, I mean the still the Democrats that aren't Marxist crazies.

The people who believe in the Constitution and the rule of law.

I hope you see what these 20 men and women negotiated and got for standing up against Kevin McCarthy.

Now,

what are those things and

are we really going to get them?

Well, we're going to talk to a man who knows.

He was part of it.

One of the most fiercest fighters on the floor last week from North Carolina, Congressman Dan Bishop, joins us in 60 seconds.

So it's a new year and and time to do some serious good in your life by changing the way you buy meat.

I want to tell you about Good Ranchers.

Good Ranchers is the 100% American meat company that delivers the best cuts of beef, chicken, and seafood right to your door.

And when I say American, I mean the source of all of their meats is from local farms in the United States.

Did you know that you can go into a grocery store and you'll see the little flag?

The little flag is this, you know, product of USA.

That meat could be from China or Brazil and it still has a little flag on it.

Did you know that?

Most of our meat is not coming from American ranchers and our American ranchers are getting screwed.

It's amazing.

85% of the grass-fed beef in America is imported from overseas.

Good Ranchers doesn't believe in selling you the imported meat.

They want to take care of the good ranchers here and give you a good deal and great meat at the same time.

Right now you can get over two pounds of chicken free in every box for a year when you subscribe.

It's a year's worth of chicken free when you subscribe to any good ranchers box at goodranchers.com.

If you want to start your year off right, then change the way you buy meat by switching to good ranchers.

Make sure to subscribe today, use the promo code G-L-E-N-N and claim your free chicken for a year and $20 off your first box.

As a rancher myself, this is so important.

Help them.

Goodranchers.com slash Glenn.

Okay?

Good meat, new year, new meat

from Good Ranchers,

America's Meat Delivered.

All right.

Let's go to Dan Bishop.

You may know his name.

He was the lead sponsor and the author of the North Carolina Bathroom Bill in the state Senate.

He made a lot of changes for the good to bring common sense

to North Carolina, and now he is in Washington.

There was a story out last week that he said, look, this is all common sense stuff.

And if we can't get this, I'm out.

And that meant, you know, people were like, oh, he's going to quit of it.

No, that's not exactly what he meant by that.

And he is on with us now.

Congressman, Congressman, thank you so much for standing against all odds, honestly, and against all media and a lot of conservative media.

Thank you.

Good morning, Glenn.

Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you.

And, you know, I did a media hit on Meet the Press with Chuck Todd yesterday.

And the bitterness was really palpable in his eyes and in his voice and in his questions.

Nothing he hates worse than some conservatives who will actually say we need to do some conservative things in Congress with the Republican majority that has been so hard won.

I have to tell you, though, I don't think what you asked for, I don't think it was just conservative.

I think this was really

common sense.

72 hours.

Wasn't that?

Absolutely.

Isn't that what Barack Obama said he would impose?

72 hours to read every bill.

You got it done.

That's right.

In fact, you're absolutely right.

It isn't really conservative.

It is about sort of making the institution function as it's envisioned to yes.

Yes.

And I mean, whoever said it was the right thing that, you know, it's interesting, Glenn,

all, as you said, conservatives blowing us up.

There's a guy out there, of course, who thinks we ought to have a convention to fundamentally alter the United States Constitution, but thought the risk was just too unbelievably

high to

defer the coronation of Kevin McCarthy for four days so we could work out some things that need to be given attention.

I don't see it that way.

I think what we ought to be all angry and upset about is the $1.7 trillion omnibus that was ran through after being designed by a handful of people with the assistance of 18 Republican senators two weeks ago, you know, three weeks ago.

But this is the thing that they said was, it's funny, Glenn, I did have one interesting thing, and you never, when people say something that's unexpected, I always love that.

Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough said in an interview, he described all the people wringing hands about how

this was chaos and the like, that they're catastrophizing it.

That's right.

It wasn't a catastrophe.

It was democracy.

There is a weaponization.

of the federal government and the FBI, and some of us have been calling for a church committee.

And quite honestly, if more Democrats were awake and we had a real true free press that was looking at the facts and still considered themselves, you know, the last line of defense for rule of law, they would be calling for a church commission.

You guys got that done.

Can you explain what that is?

I certainly can.

And a lot of people hear that and they say, what is it?

I thought it was separation of church and state.

What are you talking about?

And I know your listeners will know that they're referring to Senator Frank Church, a Democrat from Idaho back in 1975, chaired a Senate select committee to dig into stories that had emerged about how our intelligence community writ large, so certainly the FBI, DOJ, but CIA,

were engaged in some pretty horrific stuff.

And of course, the deep state has only gotten much deeper and wider since 1975 and despite the reforms enacted subsequently in 1978.

So this committee is called the Committee on the Weaponization of Federal Government at this point in time be a subcommittee of Jim Jordan's Judiciary Committee.

But that was my project here was within these negotiations was to make sure that we got that body empowered with all the authority that it would need without having House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence be able to serve as gatekeeper to information obtain getting and so forth.

And we achieved it.

It was some pretty hard knocking

negotiating in that part that we did,

but

I'm thrilled with what we've ended up with.

Now, that doesn't mean that the deep state won't stonewall it.

It will.

But you've got to first start with a charter for the committee that makes it clear.

that we've got a sufficiently broad scope to get at all the requisite agencies and that we're going to not and we're going to, we can access information without being blunted.

And it has some teeth to it.

You better believe it.

Okay.

I mean, and so we got, we actually got not just sort of a vague promise, we got down to the legislative language, the resolution that will be passed this week.

Well, that was negotiated out and agreed to.

Do you know, Dan, if you're going to be on that committee?

I believe, I have reason to believe that I will be.

Okay.

And And right now we're sort of waiting to see exactly how it will be led.

I will tell you, Dan, that

we will pray for you and everybody on that committee.

I think this is one of the most dangerous things any man or woman can do today in the federal government is begin to tunnel in and look at what is happening inside our intelligence and justice departments.

They're not going to go away happily.

Yeah.

And

it's always interesting.

You've got to, at the very outset, here, be thoughtful about what you say about it.

Yes.

But your point is well taken, Glenn.

And the things that this

superstructure within the bureaucracy that I don't believe is under the control of Congress, I don't believe it's under the control of the president, right?

I don't either.

That, you know, and how it has

developed and the ways in which it is.

I mean,

recently the FBI responded to the release of some of the Twitter files and its role describing its role and it was almost contemptuous it said they were just engaged with their community partners and they regret that conspiracy theories have emerged you know it's like whoa man if those guys will say say it that way in the light of those revelations and think that'll sell we are in a weird place and of course you've been saying it for years glenn so we're gonna find out i i and I recognize that there's jeopardy that comes along with that.

So tell me what else you guys negotiated that

was good for all Americans.

And as I enter on that, Glenn, I'll also say many of the colleagues in the Republican conference who refused to join us and also bitterly criticized 20 of us.

all have said how great the work is, the results that we've obtained.

So, But we got back the single member motion to vacate the chair, something that has always been available to members of Congress until Nancy Pelosi deep six at last Congress.

We have a rules package that provides for single purpose or single subject legislation.

So you try to deter the ability to pack these massive bills together.

So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

What does that mean?

What is the teeth in that?

That means that everything has to come separately or what?

It means, so there will be

a specific rule that says each bill must have a single subject.

Each member, when they put a bill in the offer, they've got to describe what that is.

And then, now, the Rules Committee, as you know, Glenn, is sort of the anti-rules committee.

Every bill that has been coming to the floor for a long time has a special rule.

It departs from all of the rules.

You can't make an amendment to it.

It's like it's on the Politburo

of President Xi as opposed to the Congress of the United States.

So they can continue.

Well, if we hadn't done something else, which I'll get to, then we couldn't see that this is enforced.

But that's the rule.

Now we've got to go through and enforce it.

There's another rule requiring germaneness.

You can't make an amendment to a bill unless it's germane.

That preserves the single subject.

We have a return of the Holman rule, which allows Congress to specifically zero out offices within the federal government or a bureaucrat, a Tony Fauci.

We have a set of

defined hours.

So again, we won't be sitting here with just these blunt instruments.

We will go after specific problems in the bureaucracy.

The problem with that has always been, or has been since Barack Obama got in, we don't actually have a budget.

So you control the purse strings, but not really because you don't have a budget.

This will actually take care of that problem.

Even if there is no budget, you'll be able to go in.

For instance, how about the IRS agents?

Yes, yes.

I mean, now, Holman Rule would be an apple that they're talking about.

They're going to pass that bill, I think, right away to defund the 87,000 IRS agents.

But here's something that's very key, Glenn,

and something that conservatives have learned to distinguish.

There's a lot of BS that comes out of Washington, a lot of image or messaging bills that pass.

And so just because something can pass the floor of the house under Republican control doesn't mean it has any significance.

What I've been pushing for, what this is all about, is where can we go to the mat and fight it out right now?

Right.

And see to it that they so, so we're gonna, you know, all these things kind of dovetail, but if you're right, if we're still in the process where we're doing these blunt instrument laws,

we'll pass the bill to defund the IRS agents, but unless you use the Holman rule to put something in a bigger appropriations bill, probably isn't going to get through the Senate, you see?

Mr.

Holman lets us do that.

All right.

Let me take a one-minute break.

And if you have time, I'd love to have you hang out for just a second more and tell us what else you guys

got out of this.

Dan Bishop, the congressman from North Carolina, one of the 20 holdouts, thank God,

just going through.

bit by bit everything that they won by standing up for the Constitution and, I believe the American people.

Back in one minute, 60 seconds, we are meant to live our lives joyfully.

That doesn't mean that, you know, everything always goes the way we want it to.

There are difficult days, but overall, we're meant to live with joy.

Now,

how do you get there?

I mean, especially if you're in pain, if you wake up in pain, it's really hard.

It's hard to keep things into perspective when parts of your body are inflamed and hurting.

You can try everything,

and usually the things that will take away pain that the doctor will give you either don't work or they will zap you and you're just a zombie all day and you can't live like that so how can you get rid of your pain well 70 of the people who try relief factor go on to order more month after month it's about 70 percent ReliefFactor.com is where you find this.

Call 1-800-4 Relief.

Relief Factor, feel the difference at 800, the number four relief.

800 for Relief or ReliefFactor.com.

10 seconds station ID.

So, Dan, what else did you guys get by standing up to McCarthy?

So, the next big area, Glenn, is that in addition to these rules changes, which are very important in terms of changing the way Congress functions, brings more people into the process, it was also critical, we believe, to get legislative policy strategy commitments.

Meaning, there are some fights we can win now, and we ought to get on with them.

So, the main one is budget constraints.

We got a commitment.

Now, this is a commitment.

It doesn't go in a rules package, but it's an obligation.

House Republicans will adopt a fiscal year 24 budget resolution that balances within 10 years

and caps fiscal year 24 discretionary spending at the enacted fiscal year 22 level or lower.

So

we're going to we're we are committed.

We're not going to just be rolled again by sitting around and cosmetic passing of appropriations bills that don't go through the Senate, wait till their omni expires in September, and then pass another Omni.

We're going to, this, this sets targets that are, that are specified.

The conference has to live live by.

And again, Kevin's speakership depends on living up to the bargain that we've made.

Right.

So he may not

keep his word, but then you can call for him to be overturned, and we're back back in the situation and

where we were right

that's right so we have a commitment we made to one another and uh and and we'll live according to that commitment now we can do it i don't want it to be thought of as we're waiting around to do something to kevin mccarthy i think the important thing is we've decided these things up front in order that we can work together and get to them as opposed to you know sort of people all being around disgruntled all the time thinking about who's going to call up a motion to vacate the chair that should be unnecessary.

Right.

It should be.

If everybody keeps their word, it would be.

Are you guys concerned at all about repercussions from this?

You know, that's the thing that's most interesting to me, Glenn.

And this is an unusual perspective, I think, but

I'm 58 years old.

I've had a legal career.

I've done...

I don't really care if I stay in D.C.

The most boring thing on the face of the earth

would be to sit there on the floor of the house time after time and do nothing and let everybody else you know let a handful of people do all the decisions and be cosmetic right if i don't if i can't we can't that's what i'm that's what was meant in the in the comment that i said and not just meant it was what i said when i said if we're not going to make the same sort of change here for the american people that we were able to achieve in the legislature in north carolina uh for the benefit of that of my state then i'm not going to hang around that doesn't mean that if i didn't get kevin if i didn't defeat kevin for speaker that i was going to resign Never said it.

The lies that get told people told are amazing in DC.

But the point is, so let them do repercussions.

I don't care.

I don't need anything, and I don't want anything.

So the most empowering thing you can do.

Congressman, we are going to see then congressmen actually sitting in their seats debating bills and

wrestling through the bills now, like we used to.

We are.

Wow.

We are.

I'm going to give you one key example.

Real quick, we've got about 40 seconds.

Go ahead, we'll take it.

For appropriations bills, all amendments that reduce spending will be in order.

They can't just be squelched in the rules committee.

They've got to be bought out on the floor.

All of them.

All such amendments on the appropriations bills.

That's right.

And

so

nothing can be pushed just directly to you and say, vote up or down.

Other legislation can move pretty quickly on the floor.

You can't always have everybody in the 500-member chamber.

But on this, those bills, everybody gets to pull amendments to the floor.

Every member gets to advance their amendment.

That's unbelievable.

It seems like we're actually trying to get closer to a constitutional republic again.

What a novel idea.

That was the idea.

It is.

Thank you.

Congressman Dan Bishop from North Carolina.

Good job, Congressman.

And please pass that on to everyone that was involved.

Good job.

Thank you from the American people.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome.

Glad you're here.

I just, I want to go over how important

the

the winning of a committee, a church-like committee, that has nothing to do with church, by the way.

It has everything to do with investigating the CIA, the NSA, the FBI, all of these government agencies, and finding out the truth of what they did.

It was

headed by a senator from Idaho.

His name was Church, and it happened after Watergate.

And

Americans, like now, had a lot of questions.

What is it that our CIA and FBI and everybody else is involved in?

And they uncovered and proved all of these things that were conspiracy theories.

All of it, a conspiracy theory.

The CIA couldn't be involved in Watergate.

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, they were.

How about this?

Project Mockingbird.

Now,

this was

a rumor a conspiracy theory about the CIA

and what they did was

they're not supposed to operate here in America but they were and they were manipulating the American news media organizations for propaganda and Project Mockingbird recruited leading American journalists into a network and they influenced the operations of front groups.

The CIA support of front groups was exposed.

And what they were doing is that this front group with these journalists, they were coming out and saying, oh no,

this is the way, this is what the story really is about, yada, yada.

And they were taking all of their marching orders from the government and the CIA.

The church group proved that Project Mockingbird was happening and then

set up

a committee in Congress to make sure that there was oversight on the CIA so they wouldn't do it again.

But may I ask you, do you think the Pentagon, the CIA, the FBI, that they have infiltrated and have front groups that are pushing a narrative on our journalists?

Absolutely.

We know it.

Look at what happened again in Russia Gate.

Look at all of these guys from the CIA, all the guys from the CIA.

This is definitely

all the earmarks of a Russian propaganda when they knew that wasn't true.

Yeah, and we've seen several examples of this.

I mean, going back to Ben Rhodes and the Obama administration, who went to the press and said, you know, we told them, basically admitted, we told them lies about Iran because none of these reporters knew anything about it, so they'd believe anything we said.

We've seen that over and over and over again.

I mean, they are, you know, the attempt is not shocking, but when we catch them, there should be consequences.

We should care.

This is the, I mean, it took a long time.

Many of these were well-known conspiracy theories, and that's how they were referred to as conspiracy theories.

And nobody would report on them until the church committee.

And then, lo and behold, what a surprise.

It turns out they weren't conspiracy theories.

Does any of this sound familiar?

Then it was old news.

Yeah.

There's nothing new.

Then Project Shamrock.

Project Shamrock, Project Minaret.

This was an espionage exercise that was happening

here in the United States, run by the AFSA, which was the predecessor of the National Security Agency.

And what they did, and see if you don't think this is happening, what they did is they got access to daily microfilm copies of all incoming and outgoing and

transiting telegrams from Western Union, plus

everything from RCA and ITT.

They were looking at all messages, all conversations that they could get their hands on coming in and going out from

citizens here in the United States.

We just have the NSA just has a better

way of doing it now.

They just have more powerful

computers and algorithms.

Do you think that's not happening now?

Well, some version of it is definitely happening.

I mean, that's what the Snowden situation showed us quite a bit of that, right?

In action.

And I mean, has it stopped?

I'm sure not.

And they had no warrants to do it.

Do you think anybody is doing that?

Another thing was Project Gladio.

This was

a project to arm and help terrorists that were anti-communists,

mainly in Italy.

So our government was helping to overthrow governments.

Can we say Ukraine?

May we?

May we say Ukraine?

Not now,

but just during the Obama administration?

Absolutely, this stuff was happening.

Absolutely, it was happening.

Here's one.

November 21st, 1964, a package containing a letter and a tape alleging Martin Luther King's sexual indiscretions was delivered to Coretta Scott King, wife of Martin Luther Jr., Martin Luther King Jr., and later to King himself.

The letter was anonymously written.

However, Martin Luther King suspected the FBI sent the letter, a conspiracy theory.

Coretta Scott King described the tapes by saying, I couldn't make much out of it.

There's a lot of mumbo-jumbo.

The letter does not specify precisely what action they are urging King to undertake.

King understood the letter as advocating that he commit suicide.

Some say that it was just urging him to decline the Nobel Peace Prize and step out of leadership.

The church committee found that, yeah,

that wasn't a conspiracy theory.

The FBI did that.

Do any of these sound familiar?

I mean, do we really think that these things aren't happening right now?

We know.

We know for sure Project Mockingbird, we know the White House is telling people in social media.

Isn't that also exactly what Project MK Ultra was?

This is something else the church committee took on.

A program designed and undertaken by the CIA intended to develop procedures and identify drugs that could be used in interrogation to weaken individuals and force confessions.

It began in 1953, halted in 1973.

numerous methods to manipulate subjects' mental states and brain function.

Can't we say that that's most likely happening with the CIA and Google, Facebook?

You really think that no one in the NSA, CIA, FBI is trying to, let me give this again,

weaken individuals or manipulate subjects' mental states and brain functions?

They were using drugs then.

They're just using algorithms now.

Do you think that it is important that we look into what our government is doing, seeing that all of these things, it's a conspiracy theory, all of the things back in the 60s and 70s that were, quote, conspiracy theories, end quote, turned out to be true,

do you think it might have been important

for 20 Freedom Caucus members to stand up against the machine and say, we want a committee to look into exactly the same things that the church committee looked into in the 1970s.

And we want teeth so you can actually get the information and get to answers.

I don't know.

I think everyone who said this is the biggest crisis ever

doesn't owe an apology.

We all have our own opinions, and that's fine.

But I would like to hear them at least come out and say, you know what, it might have been chaos, it might have looked bad, it might have been, but what they got, what they actually got, is pretty good.

And not just for Republicans, but for the Constitution and every single American.

Because if you think that

this kind of

black operations can happen in a free country and not affect you, I don't care how you voted.

You are a fool or you're at least fooling yourself.

So last year, you participated in a miracle.

This audience is so truly amazing to me.

You are,

gosh, I mean, you're a godsend on I don't know how many fronts.

Tens of thousands last year of babies who would have otherwise never seen the light of day

have begun drawing breath because of something you were involved in.

The dark world in which we live cries out for the blood of the unborn.

Last year,

you stepped up and helped the ministry of pre-born shine a light into that darkness.

It was actually through ultrasounds.

80,000 lives.

80,000 lives is what we're looking to save this year.

We have it confirmed with the number.

I think it's 55,000, 65,000 lives from last year.

It's amazing.

When a mother with an unplanned pregnancy sees her baby on an ultrasound and hears the heartbeat, her baby's chance at life skyrockets.

Pre-born clinics offer free ultrasounds with exactly that in mind.

They receive zero government funding.

What a shock.

So their clinics are completely dependent on you and me.

The pro-life community.

To donate, dial pound250.

These people are making a huge difference.

Pound250.

Say the keyword baby.

100% of your donation will go to saving babies.

One ultrasound is $28, less than most dinners.

Get involved.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We've been talking about the CIA and the FBI and this new,

if you will, church committee that is going to be established because of the Freedom Caucus standing up to Kevin McCarthy and what they're going to find and how dangerous.

But it's all the stuff that they found in the original church committee that was happening in the 60s and the 70s.

And we were talking, one of the examples you brought up was the Martin Luther King situation where they send a letter to his wife and eventually to him and along with tapes saying, hey, we know you're cheating.

We know you have infidelity.

Here's the evidence.

You better step down or kill yourself, basically.

It doesn't exactly say that, but it's pretty close.

What's interesting about this, sort of separate from the current conversation, is that Martin Luther King is a revered figure in this country.

He's got a national holiday named after him.

And we know now that he was hooking up with women all over the country.

He was not living the doctrine exactly in that part of his life.

No, he wasn't even in Bible territory.

Not even in Bible country on that one.

So they had bugs in his hotel rooms all over the place

recording what are reported to be orgies.

Right?

Again, this is not me saying this.

This is a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and these memos themselves, which say this.

You know, recordings of orgies and up

to the point that there is an accusation that

from credible sources.

Credible sources.

And in these memos and in these tapes, that Martin Luther King stood by, and I believe the quote is, stood by and laughed as one of his associates raped a woman.

Yes.

These tapes are due to come out in 2027.

They are sealed until 2027.

How can his legacy survive that if that's what's on these tapes?

It can't.

Can't, right?

We can't sit here and have a national holiday for a guy who raped a woman on, or who stood by and let a woman be raped on tape and laughed at it.

And it's different because, you know, slavery was legal, it was immoral, but a lot of people, and they say this with our founding fathers, we have to remove them because they did these horrible things.

Well, rape was never a cool thing.

No.

Never.

It was not

legal.

No.

If this was going on.

And, you know, there's just a lot.

So I don't know.

A few years ago, I would have thought to myself,

they will defend his legacy at any cost.

And look, there's a lot that Martin Luther King, you've praised him.

We've all praised him.

He's done, he did many amazing things.

But he was a flawed man.

I didn't realize that flawed.

That big of a flaw.

Years ago, I probably would have thought they'll defend him at any cost.

They'll find a way they'll ignore it.

And I think that's still possible.

But the way they are treating his belief system lately of...

It goes even beyond his belief system.

Because now it's like, you know, all men are created equal.

You know, you standing up for the Declaration of Independence.

We don't agree with all of that.

But it's also to the point of, you know, going to his central, you know, can't judge someone by the color of their skin.

You got to judge them by the content of their character.

They've completely destroyed that belief point.

They do not believe it anymore.

So If they ever did.

What's more important when this tape comes out, and if it is what they say, and if it does, I think it will,

if it comes out, it will be used to again destroy history.

One of the things that is being destroyed is our narrative, our national understanding of our history.

You remove Martin Luther King, which would mean you take down, you get rid of the holiday, you take down the statues statues of Martin Luther King.

There is no Martin Luther King Boulevard anymore.

You have to rename like 80% of our streets.

You have destroyed the narrative of the 1960s, the hope and the goodness of that Martin Luther King movement.

That's much more important

than keeping him along or

anything else.

The destruction of our narrative is in full effect right now, and that will become way too important.

Where the CIA and what we learned about the CIA and Kennedy just last week will remain under wraps because that undermines the narrative of the state.

This undermines the narrative of a guy who stood up against the state.

I think they'll release those tapes in 2027.

the Glen Beck Program.

Hello, hello, America, and welcome to the Glenbeck Program.

So glad that you're here.

We're going to have Chip Roy on in a second.

We've also been talking about

conspiracy theories that have been proven true by the church committee in the 1970s.

And that church committee was, I think Senator Church, or is it Congressman Church, from Idaho that was looking into all of the bad things that our FBI and CIA were doing.

And it's led me to something else that

I want to share with you.

I just had a...

I don't know,

some dots have appeared on my screen today that have bothered me for a long time, and maybe they fit together.

Maybe they don't.

I'd like to run it past Stu and you in 60 seconds.

Okay, Stu,

do you remember what bothers me about the Civil Rights Act of 1964

as it relates to LBJ?

I mean, LBJ's entire history around this is incredibly disturbing, but off the top of my head, from your theory, I don't know.

So I've said, I've often threatened

that

when I finish, if I ever finish my radio career, I am just going to spend the rest of my time doing research on one thing that really bothers me.

And that is the Civil Rights Act of 1964

with Johnson and the Great Society with Johnson

because they don't work together.

First of all, Johnson was the guy who stopped the Civil Rights Act of

1959.

He is a known racist, a really bad guy.

Racist till the day he died.

Hated Martin Luther King.

And yet, when Kennedy dies, and everybody's like, well, it's just Kennedy.

He didn't like Kennedy either.

He wasn't really sad when Kennedy,

when Kennedy died.

So

all of a sudden, because of of Kennedy, we pass this and he becomes the champion of it.

I just find it hard to believe.

And then when you get the civil rights, or sorry, when you get the great society, which destroys the black family, that's not a good thing.

Really, Johnson is underrated as a candidate for the worst president we've ever had.

He is.

You know, he is the entire reason.

I mean, you could go back, because Woodrow Wilson, you always talk about Wilson took a country that had foundations still rooted in our founding and reversed that.

He was the guy who really took a country going one way and took it the other way.

And there's a lot to be said for that as far as worst president ever.

But like the acceleration that went on under Johnson is remarkable.

And the acceleration, remember, Woodrow Wilson was a racist.

Progressives, you know, from the beginning were racist.

I'm not saying that they're racist today.

However, they put up with a lot of things that are really

underlying in

race

and racism.

To me, claiming that black people are unable to get their own IDs is racist.

I think so, too.

I think saying that black people need white people to stand up for them, I think, is incredibly arrogant and racist.

Okay, so

we were just talking about what the Church Act found this letter in November of 1964.

We found that the FBI sent a letter and a tape to Coretta Scott King.

And

in that letter was a tape of him fooling around.

And it was

expressed in the letter what Martin Luther King said was a desire for him to kill himself.

And instead, the letter, they threw it away and said, It's not going to intimidate us.

Yeah, it basically said, There's only one thing for you to do to get out of this.

You know what it is.

Right.

Okay.

So that's November 1964.

What else is happening in November 1964?

I mean, this discussion, right?

This Civil Rights Act going back and forth.

November

1964.

The election of Johnson against Goldwater.

Where was Martin Luther King during the run-up all summer?

He was on the campaign trail for Johnson,

saying,

we've got a clear choice.

We can't go back to the dark ages.

He's also getting the Nobel Prize for because in the summer of 64, before the election, Johnson comes out as the big uniter and the big peace guy.

This is the pivot where all of a sudden blacks leave the

party of Lincoln

and

everything is reframed in 1964 that it's the conservatives and the Republicans that are bad, where it was the Republicans in 59 that were trying to get the Civil Rights Act passed, and Johnson stopped it because he was racist.

Now, Martin Luther King is on the campaign trail with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 just being passed, and helps Johnson beat Goldwater.

In November.

When did Martin Luther King receive that letter?

In November.

Who sent that letter?

We now know.

Who sent it?

Hoover.

The FBI.

Was Hoover

a

communist lover or communist hater?

Hater.

What is always said about

Martin Luther King that towards the end of his life, after the Civil Rights Act, he became more constitutional or more

of a communist.

More constitutional.

That's what

his relatives have talked about.

No, they're saying that he became more

in bed and in line with the unions.

Oh, you're okay.

Yes, later in life, yes.

Later in life, towards the end of his life, after.

So he all of a sudden becomes a progressive

puppet or mouthpiece.

He's on the campaign trail for the government, where prior to this, he's standing against

the

government and nonviolent protesting, non-violent protests.

The reason why he wins the Nobel Peace is because he has fundamentally changed a country with nonviolence.

Agree?

So he's upended a system through this.

Martin Luther King said it wanted to, they wanted him to kill himself, but also

others say that this was trying to discourage him from taking the Nobel Peace Prize.

turning it down.

So in other words, not being recognized for nonviolent demonstration.

That's huge.

Who hated the nonviolent movement?

Kennedy or Hoover?

Hoover hated it.

So now you have a progressive, which we know is lined with communist.

It starts with the communist rule.

We know that we're getting more of a communist government coming in, right?

That letter was not to stop, and I can't prove this, this is just the theory.

And looking at all these dots today,

that letter was not to stop him from being, you know, the leader of the civil rights or anything else because of the changes he was making.

He was already making them.

This was

a threat to the established American government and the twisted mind of Hoover needs him to stop and get away from the progressive government of Johnson.

What do you think of that?

Hmm.

It's interesting.

So you're not saying, I thought you were going to say that you're saying this letter essentially in a way, or it's the surrounding efforts around it wound up working, right?

Like they wound up convincing King to change because he was protecting himself and is around this time.

He makes this dramatic shift to the left.

Which would not have helped him if Hoover sent it.

It would not have helped Hoover.

Hoover didn't want to push him to the left.

Right.

I think he was trying to stop him.

And he knew that the power was,

what are you going to go ahead, Hoover?

Who's going to run that?

I have the Nobel Peace Prize.

I have the world on my side.

You think I'm afraid of you?

You think I'm afraid of being exposed?

I've got everybody in the progressive movement and everybody in the media who was still kind of fair at that time.

They were all for him.

Who's going to run that tape?

Who's going to believe that?

It came from the government, the same government that's been trying to destroy me.

I think he

went deeper and was convinced of somehow or another of Johnson with the Civil Rights Act, that he also then supports the

great society, which is very, very progressive to the socialist degree, that destroys the blacks.

I think Johnson at the same time views him the way Margaret Sanger viewed those preachers that they could reach out to and not say, by the way,

we're doing this to erase the black race.

No, this is really good for you.

And get those preachers on board.

I think they did the same thing to Martin Luther King.

Got him deeper involved in the progressive movement, deeper involved with everything, showing him, while then

using him as a mouthpiece to have all of of this power to be able then to destroy the black family through the

through the great society.

I mean, it's worth looking into, isn't it?

I mean, I don't know if it's right, but it seems

there's something there right around that time that seems really out of place.

Because why would the government,

why would Johnson

say, yeah, go ahead, FBI, send that out?

I think that's the deep state.

Why would Johnson, who's just had him on the road saying all kinds of things all election,

all of a sudden say, yeah, go ahead, destroy him?

Now, maybe he did.

Maybe.

Yeah.

I mean, Johnson.

Or was it the deep state?

Borderline psychopathic at times.

So, yes, it's possible.

But still, yeah,

there's something to be rooted out of that.

I just never have been comfortable with the great society

being

designed and executed by a guy and a group of people

that hated blacks.

And when you see what it's done to the black community, I just don't buy that that was

not a deep

progressive effort, progressives as they were understood, a deep progressive effort to destroy the black family.

It's an interesting theory.

I have to go back and look at what we do know about that era.

And there has been a lot written, obviously.

There's more to come.

There's more to come.

This is what's fascinating about this.

We're on the verge of this.

And it's like we talk about foundations crumbling and institutions you trust or don't trust.

You talked about that earlier on today.

One of the big issues we have in our country right now is we do not trust our institutions.

No, and we shouldn't trust our institutions.

I think there's a good argument to be made that we should not trust them.

We make it every day.

However, there is some consequences

of that loss of trust.

It's just that we trust yet verify.

You know, right now, some do.

We have no trust and

we're not giving them any benefit of the doubt.

I don't think they deserve it at this point.

But

as soon as good faith efforts, you trust but verify.

Yeah, it's difficult.

It's a difficult balance for a lot of people.

I mean, I think you could look at the last couple of years, for example, in our medical

leadership when it comes to COVID.

Like, whether you don't like masks or you don't like the vaccines or you don't like some of the treatments or whatever you think, you know, has been the problem over the past couple of years.

Very rationally, people have looked at the advice that has come from the government and said, whoa, this is wrong.

There's problems here.

They got a lot of this wrong.

We also, I think, as sober individuals can step back and say, that doesn't mean we dismiss everything doctors say.

And finding that midpoint of like being able to trust but verify or distrust, but

be willing to overturn your previously held beliefs if you find information that indicates you should, and not necessarily tossing out every new piece of information that comes from someone with MD after their name.

Correct.

I think it's a difficult thing for people to balance and understand and do appropriately.

You're not going to

cure it and fix that trust until you have a day of reckoning where people are held

responsible and reasonable people gather and say, we have to have answers to these questions, and whoever is guilty will be punished appropriately, et cetera, et cetera.

Not a witch hunt.

Just what happened?

What happened?

And how was everybody involved?

And the problem is, is that they are going even further into wokeness.

And you now have the AMA and all of the schools for doctors teaching all of these woke policies.

It's only going to make things worse.

There has to be a complete flip of all of that.

Back in just a minute.

10 seconds, station ID.

You know, it's really interesting to me.

I've got a new book coming out,

I'm not sure when, in a month or so.

And it is part two of The Great Reset.

It's based on the great narrative.

And

Klaus Schwab has put together a group of people that have worked on this new narrative, which is basically

a new story that you're to buy into.

Our story is being neglected and shelved.

It's lost.

Our kids don't know the American story.

And everything about our story is being undermined.

Or the chickens are coming home to roost, if I can quote some really nasty preacher

from Chicago.

But the chickens are coming home to roost.

You have, just last week, we talked about the CIA.

Now it really appears that the CIA was involved with Oswald and the Kennedy assassination in some way or another.

We don't have all of the papers yet.

They won't release them, but this is what they're hiding and holding back.

And

what did they they say

and when that comes out what does that do to our narrative something

that has been called a conspiracy since 1963

it's a conspiracy and it's been mocked and everybody's been ridiculed and now you come out to find out that the government knew

That they knew who he was, they knew and were involved in his life in some way or another.

What does that do to our narrative as a country?

How does that affect our view of what the government agencies are capable of if they disagree with a president of the United States?

Would we have a different point of view on what happened to Donald Trump if we knew the CIA was involved with

the Kennedy Kennedy assassination in any way?

I contend yes.

And what is that going to mean to us?

Veronica wrote in about her dog's experience with rough green.

She says she has a 12-year-old lab.

I love labs.

She said,

week one.

of giving her rough reins rough greens, we saw a crazy improvement.

Her eyes became clearer.

I had to look twice when she came bounding up the stairs.

She hasn't done that in a while.

This is the thing that we found with Uno.

Uno was 10 or 11 when we started feeding him rough greens or giving it, putting it on his food.

And

I mean, his activity level went through the roof, went through the roof.

He was like a puppy again.

I think Rough Greens has given my dog at least a year.

of really high quality life, more than he would have had without it.

I am grateful for you.

I'm grateful for this audience and all that you have done.

I urge you to think about the things that you have accomplished.

You started Operation OUR.

You were the first people to begin to fund the rescuing of those people who were trapped in the sex slavery trade.

You are the people that

rushed in and saved about 18,000 people

in Afghanistan when that was going on.

You've done remarkable things, and I am really grateful that I know you.

So thanks so much for listening.

We have Chip Roy coming up in just a minute.

He is a little tied up.

You know, I love this.

CNN said

that he was dangerous last week.

And

now they're saying

he's gone from a critic to a kingmaker.

Really?

Really, CNN?

Huh.

Who would have seen that one coming?

If they were honest at all, they would have seen that coming last week.

It's really truly bizarre coverage of this.

Like, my favorite part of this was Gerald Nadler,

who came out and he said, if there's a real emergency, we couldn't respond.

This is meaning that we don't have a speaker of the house yet.

Either the Republicans don't understand that or they do understand that and they don't care.

I don't know which is worse, but it's a profound danger to the country as long as it lasts.

Now,

eagle-eyed

viewers might be able to detect the fact that at any point, Gerald Nadler and any of the other Democrats could have voted for McCarthy to put him over the 218

threshold.

But they didn't.

They didn't.

Why?

They knew they weren't going to win.

They knew Hakeem Jeffries was never going to be Speaker this term.

They knew that the whole time.

It was solely politics.

And by his definition, putting the entire country at risk.

All they had to do was say, you know what, screw these freedom caucus guys.

We don't want those rules.

Who cares about those rules?

Let's just put McCarthy over the edge.

He's going to get it anyway, eventually.

They didn't do it because they were taking a stand.

They didn't want to vote.

They didn't want their name on this leadership for whatever reason.

Like,

it's so, it got so ridiculous so fast.

What did we have?

A few days of voting?

Guys, can we get over ourselves?

I guarantee what they would have done in those four days was nowhere near as consequential as what got done in those rules.

They would have done nothing.

The main thing they would have passed is, hey, no longer C-SPAN cameras can no longer point their cameras at people in the gallery so we catch them doing things.

Right.

You see that?

I mean,

McCarthy, when he came up to Gates and Bobert.

Yeah.

Ooh.

Can I...

Smoked.

Oh, hang on.

Is he on?

Yeah, we have Chip Roy on.

Oh, you have the clip.

Okay.

Yeah.

Go ahead and play the clip.

You can see Representative come up.

They keep saying he's been restrained.

Yeah, and he's

going to come to blows.

Like, it didn't look like that.

It looked like he was pissed off.

Yeah.

And came and was going to say something that somebody else put his hand over the congressman's face so he wouldn't say.

It was like, don't make this worse.

Just don't make this worse.

So two things on this.

One, I think the restraint, they're saying he restrained it.

It almost came to blows.

To me, it looked like somebody

realized this is going to be on TV.

And you shouldn't say it.

It wasn't a physical, like, pulling him back like he was going to get into a fight.

It was pulling.

pulling, he specifically starts with his shoulders and then pushes his hands up to his face so he doesn't say the thing he's about to say, right?

That's not about they're about to get into blows.

They were about to get into a big fight verbally.

Of words.

And they didn't want that to be exposed to the cameras, which normally you can't see that stuff in the house.

Secondarily, on Gates, everyone was bashing Gates because

they were going after him.

They had this big back and forth.

But quite clearly, there was a deal in place after the Chiproy faction had already come back to the other side.

They were voting for McCarthy.

They needed four out of the remaining seven or six to come to just say present.

Or three, I think it was three.

They needed to get present.

They got Boebert.

They got Gates to say present.

The third person, whoever that was, a lot of people think it was Rosendale, but the third person said,

voted for Jordan or one of the other candidates.

And then Gates got all the heat because he was the last one who went.

He was the last one who went and he said present instead of voting for McCarthy, which would have put him over the edge.

Again, none of this made any difference because five minutes later, they just voted for him anyway.

So it didn't wind up making a difference.

But like Gates got all the heat.

He got the physical, you know, sort of confrontation.

He got the yelling back.

And he was the one that was focused on by almost every media source.

And I'm not like a Gates defender or anything, but like it seems like someone else bailed on this deal.

Someone else said they were going to vote president and and then changed their mind right beforehand, and it wound up costing.

Did they get anything in that last?

Because I know

the last two votes were kind of close together.

Right.

So did they get anything?

I don't think there was any expansion.

I think what happened was there was a deal cut for the 14th round.

Right.

Then

I think Gates and Boebert stuck to the deal and said present.

They had to get three present.

He's there.

Okay, we're going to go into this in a minute.

We have Chip Roy Roy on.

Chip, thank you.

From many of the American people, thank you, thank you, thank you.

It should come from all quarters of the American people because I don't think what you gained was partisan at all.

And so thank you.

Well, Glenn, thank you.

Again, we're still working through it all.

And, you know, I was in D.C.

this whole weekend.

I didn't go home

to see my family.

We're now having meetings today.

We got this rules vote tonight.

We're still working hard to try to make sure we get this all structured correctly.

I do think we won a significant battle of public opinion by the end of the week.

Oh, yeah.

We were trying to fight for structural, fundamental, transformational changes.

But, you know, look, it's miles to go before we sleep, right?

We've saved this from, yeah.

So, can you tell me about the church committee and the details of that?

Because this is so important.

Did we really get what we hoped we got?

We got a lot of what we hoped we would get.

I would have preferred slightly more independence to elevate it to the level that I thought was critically important given the extent of the weaponization of government.

However, given the track record of Jim Jordan being willing to take on the establishment in this town and take on and do the kind of investigative work necessary, we agreed for a number of reasons to put it as a subcommittee within the House Judiciary Committee, but

it would have autonomy to a degree, obviously, with Jim on the subcommittee and significant players that would be off of the Judiciary Committee combined with the smart lawyers on the Judiciary Committee who know how to execute this sort of thing with

broader jurisdiction to be able to touch on Intel and other things.

So

we're still dotting every I and crossing every T.

Literally today as we speak.

We believe we have an agreement in principle that we think will give us significant more power and scope to go after the weaponization of government, but we're still fighting through it all today.

So when it comes to the details,

and especially of the church committee, is there

anything that we should know or anything that they can take away at this point?

No, I mean, look, I think what we're now trying to do is figure out the who and the exact mechanics.

We pressed for bigger budget, bigger staffing, bigger breadth of jurisdiction to be able to make sure that, for example, it's not enough to to say, oh, the Judiciary Committee will go after the FBI, and Energy and Commerce will haul Anthony Fauci in for some healthcare stuff, and Homeland Security will do something because it's China.

We need to have a centralized command and control ability to go across the entirety of the federal government to see who was talking to whom, to go after the American people for what reason, whether it was related to COVID, whether it was domestic terrorism

for parents who are going to the school boards, whether it's CHS, what the Intel community is doing, who's collecting information on people, what do they do after January 6th.

We need to be able to go broadly and look and dive into and hold this administration accountable.

We think we've achieved that

to a significant degree, but the who and the exact mechanics are going to be important.

But again, Jim Jordan is a good friend with a track record, and we've given broader jurisdiction within this subcommittee.

We're working again on who and what.

And it has the teeth to, if it's Fauci, if

any of these things happen, you can defund and recommend for criminal behavior if it's found?

Well, for sure, we can go.

Look, first of all, we've got to exercise the power of subpoena.

That's something the House does.

The committees don't do it blindly, right?

The committees have to go to the House.

The House then executes a subpoena.

If you're talking about

what we're going to be able to do to hold them accountable, look on defund, the Senate, they screwed us, Glenn, when they passed that bill in December.

So we don't have defund power until next October.

So we're going to spend now nine months building up to a conservative budget, conservative spending that will restrain Leviathan.

We got that promise, that pledge to cap at 22 levels and to budget within 10 years and balance.

That's hard.

If we do that, we're going to be beating the crap out of non-defense discretionary in order to get there.

And then by next October, we'll be able to, in the process of that spending arrangement, have accountability for the FBI, for the IRS, for DHS, et cetera.

But that's going to take nine months to get there because the Senate stuck it to us.

Are you seeing anybody that last week was opposed and this week is coming and going, you know, actually, you got good things.

I'm sorry, I wasn't with you.

I think we've seen a decent amount of that.

You know, I've seen some contrition.

I'm not going to mention by name.

No, no, no.

I've had some good text messages, some good conversations, some good personal encounters.

There's still a little bit of hard feelings.

And frankly, there's a lot of misinformation.

A few of my colleagues have gone out there and said, oh, you guys did a backroom deal yourself.

And so, hold on a second.

We posted on December 8th a letter listing the things that we thought we needed.

We put it out there for public consumption.

We debated within the four corners of roughly that agreement or that

set of asks and did that right up until D-Day on Friday, trying to extract the right level of promises and belief system that we would get there.

We were given enough tools that gave us comfort that we moved the needle.

But, you know, it's going to take a while to execute it and make sure we can get it done.

This is the first time I have seen the media

end up on the Freedom Caucus side or the side of the Constitution.

Usually, when you fight like this, the Republicans never win.

Why the change is and what do you learn from this?

That standing up and fighting for something that everybody on all sides should want is

popular or worth doing?

Or what is it you take from this?

Well,

part of the problem for the American people is the opaqueness, right?

Like, it was kind of cool having the C-SPAN cameras following us on the floor, watching us talk, seeing how we're engaging.

It was important to have 434 bodies there on the House floor this entire week.

It was important to be able to get up and give speeches somewhat open-ended in front of the whole body and see what would happen.

For example, when I stood up and nominated Byron Donalds, and for the first time, we had two black Americans in nomination for Speaker of the House.

And to say that's not, you don't just, you don't own playing games about race over there on the Democratic side.

We stand up for people that we believe regardless of skin color and are willing to stand up behind someone like I did, like Byron Donald's, because I believe in him.

I want him, not Hakeem, and I don't care about his skin color.

In the end of the day, we worked out a deal and arrangement, including with Byron sitting at the table at the room with me and with Dan Bishop and Scott Perry and Freedom Caucus and others.

We worked out an arrangement that we think will improve things.

It ain't going to be perfect.

It's a majoritarian body.

I can't own 218 people's votes.

I have no right to.

I have the ability to try to persuade.

We are moving the needle.

It won't be perfect.

I just ask all of our conservative activists, friends, and listeners out there, keep the pressure up.

Hold me accountable.

Hold us all accountable.

But we're doing what we can, we think, to move the needle in this town towards openness and a sense that we're going to try to do the work of the American people and empower your congressmen, not just a few people, to be able to execute for them.

Congressman Chip Roy from the great state of Texas, a man I hope

eventually runs for Senate, and I'm not talking about Ted Cruz's seat,

a guy who has actually fought and come forward with the goods at the end.

Thank you, Chip.

I appreciate everything you do.

God bless.

God bless you, thank you.

Thank you.

Does Texas have another Senate seat other than Santa Cruz?

Is there a Republican Senate seat?

No, not really.

Because, I mean, I don't know.

See, if there's a Republican already in the seat, you can't remove him.

There's no way to.

Is there another contest that would

be a primary that could be.

It would be good, and he would be a anyway.

Experts like Saxo Bank or Swiss Asia Capital or Forbes, when they're all disagreeing about what gold is going to cost in 2023, but they all think it will be over $3,000 an ounce, might be time to start thinking differently about things.

I'm going to later this week come up with the predictions that

I have for this year.

And I think I know a reason why it would be $3,000 an ounce or more.

And we'll get to those later.
