Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glenbeck program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.

Oh, it is a,

it's Monday, and what a weekend it was this weekend.

We're going to start with all of the news that happened over the weekend and a personal note.

But also,

we needed to address a couple of things.

Digital ID that is now sweeping the world, what that means,

and it kind of ties into the evil that is sweeping the world.

Also, the Pentagon is having a meeting this week that has never, ever been done before.

What does that mean?

Bad Bunny, another NFL slap in the face to you as America, and we're going to try to squeeze that in, but that's kind of an important story as well.

But I want to start with the shootings.

There was a

there just was a horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible weekend.

North Carolina, there was attack

from

a soldier, a former Marine.

And

it was planned.

He's been taken into custody.

Eight were injured.

Three people were killed.

That was Saturday.

Then on Sunday, we had Michigan.

And I want to give some perspective on all of this.

And

this next hour, not this hour, but hour number two of the podcast, I want to give you concrete answers.

I want to give you something that you can actually do do that I pondered all weekend.

And I want you to follow me here today

because I think we've turned a page in America.

And I want to begin there in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about leaf filters.

Somewhere above your head right now, there's a dark, rotting, leaf-filled trough.

you know, straddling the edge of your roof, and it's turning into a swamp.

Mosquito larvae, black sludge, tiny root systems are growing.

Maybe even a raccoon is looking to start a family up there.

It's a whole little ecosystem.

And guess who gets to deal with it when it overflows?

You do with a ladder, the rain.

It's slippery while your neighbor watches and whispers to his wife, I don't think he should be up on that ladder.

Or you could just call Leaf Filter.

Call Leaf Filter Now, they install a permanent micro-mesh system that keeps leaves, twigs, mugs, and everything else out of your gutters for good.

I want to start today with a personal note.

And I want to thank all of my friends who emailed last night.

Yesterday was a very tough day for anybody who was a member of my faith.

I got a nice note from the president last night, yesterday afternoon, telling me how he mourns, not only for those that died yesterday in the fire and the shooting,

but also for those who are mourning with the death of the head of the church that also happened the same morning.

It was a tough day for Latter-day Saints, and I thank the President and all those who emailed me.

Let me just tell you a little bit about Russell M.

Nelson, first of all.

He was the president of our church, and

he was a guy that you know from history, or you should know from history.

He was a prominent cardiac surgeon and researcher.

Back in the 50s, he was part of the research team that went on to develop the heart-lung machine.

And then he went on to develop his own heart-lung machine, did one of the first open-heart surgeries in the country.

He pioneered the machines and the devices for the heart-lung bypass

and many of the procedures still used today in open heart surgery.

He was an amazing, amazing man.

In the last 10 years of his life, all he spoke about

was love for one another, reading our scriptures, growing closer to the Spirit,

as he said many times, because Christ is coming and we must be ready to welcome him.

So it was a tough weekend, and there were bright spots

as well.

But I want to spend some time because

I did get a lot of

email

from friends who are part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and most of them were in tears because they were online and they read the words of so-called Christians.

And they were saying things up to and including, because I know I saw them myself, I'm glad they're dead.

I'm glad the leader died.

I'm glad those people died, because they're going to hell anyway,

because they're a dangerous cult.

And when I read that,

I wept with the same kind of pain that I had

on the death of Charlie Kirk, when the non-Christians celebrated his death, I'm glad he's dead.

And I wondered, what is the difference between these Christians and the non-Christians with Charlie.

I would like to

invite you for just a second to forget about doctrine.

And let's just talk about

what Christ told us to do, how to measure the truth.

See, we don't know how to measure truth anymore.

And the most basic way to measure truth is the way Christ told us how to do it.

By their fruits, ye shall know them.

Not by the creeds written by men, not by denominational squabbles, not by gossip that we whisper about on who's in, who's out, but the measure of its fruit.

Does the tree produce life?

Does it bless?

Does it heal?

Or does it destroy?

I would like to invite you to judge my faith.

And you don't have to, and look, nobody's coming my way, okay?

It's really, you don't want to be a Mormon.

It's really hard.

It's really hard.

And then you get to be a pariah on top of it.

So nobody's coming my way.

So I'm not trying to convince anybody.

All I'm saying is, judge us by our fruits, because the numbers don't lie.

Latter-day Saints give an average of more than 400 hours of volunteer service every year.

The average member.

LDS charities have distributed $2.5 billion in humanitarian aid in the last decade alone in over 200 countries.

When disasters hits, when hurricanes, earthquakes, wars, it's the LDS trucks and

planes filled with food and clothing and medicine that are among the first to arrive.

When it comes to their families,

LDS families have one of the lowest divorce rates in the nation.

Nearly 90% of LDS youth report abstaining from alcohol, drugs, and premarital sex, building lives rooted in discipline and stability.

And patriotism?

A recent survey showed that more than 90% of active Latter-day Saints express deep pride in America.

That is far higher than the national average.

So now let me ask you, just those fruits alone, are those enemies to Christ?

Or are these people, these are signs of people who are trying?

You may not agree, but they're trying imperfectly, like all of us, to follow him, to serve their fellow man, and to preserve the very principles that built the West.

I saw a comment from somebody this weekend.

Oh, my gosh, I didn't know that Glenn Beck was a Mormon.

Oh, my gosh, no, really?

Oh, my gosh, what am I going to do with that now?

In the last decade, My charity, the one that, yes, founded by a Mormon, has raised and distributed over quarter of a billion dollars, a quarter of a billion dollars in aid.

And that's not just dollars, but food and clothing and medicine and volunteers and trucks and planes.

We're talking about clean water for villages, wheelchairs for the disabled, medical kits for refugees, rescuing people who are trapped in hurricanes, wildfire relief, rebuilding homes, you name it.

We do it.

By their fruits, ye shall know them.

And here's the key.

Not once, not a single time, did we stop to ask any of those families for their voting record or their church ID card.

We didn't ask if they were Methodist, Catholic, Baptist, Latter-day Saints, if they voted for Trump or Obama.

We didn't ask about their doctrine.

We saw the hungry, the grieving,

the refugee running for their life, and we acted because that is what Christ commands his disciples to do.

I have personally been involved raising funds to rescue Christians from the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, all of them persecuted simply because they bear his name.

Whole families that have been slaved,

been saved from slavery, women pulled out of trafficking, pastors spared from execution.

And all of this, in all of this, never once did we ask, are you doctrinally correct according to my church's standards?

No, we asked, how can we help you?

And we don't stand alone.

Franklin Graham, say what you will, he does not mince words about faith or doctrine, especially when it comes to my church.

Yet his Samaritan's purse has been one of our closest partners.

Together we've stood in war zones and natural disasters and disease outbreaks.

Latter-day Saints side by side with evangelicals.

I can't hear of it.

Baptists and Catholics and Jews working together.

Lions and tigers and bears.

Oh my.

When it comes down to it, biblical, biblically, the commandment is clear.

Love thy neighbor.

I'll go a step further.

Love thy enemy.

This is what it means.

None of our churches are preaching anything useful.

Love thy enemy.

Love thy neighbor.

How?

This is how.

This is how.

Mourn with those who are mourning.

Comfort them.

My company, every day, my producers and

my charities,

every day, people from all different faiths, we all get together on a Skype call or together physically.

We study our scriptures and we say a prayer.

Every day before this show, my whole staff says a prayer for you.

And it doesn't matter what their denomination is, what your denomination is, what my denomination is, God is God.

This is what unity looks like.

Not uniformity, unity.

I will work with any church, any synagogue, any denomination that actually puts love into action.

That is what builds the kingdom of God on earth.

Hands dirty, backs bent, and hearts open.

Yeah, but you're really not a Christian.

I don't really care what you think.

I really don't.

I don't.

I care what you say about people who are

far better than me in my faith.

You know, the forces of chaos, I don't know if you've noticed this, but they don't care.

They unite with anybody, no matter how much they contradict each other.

If it weakens the West, if it destroys our life, if it destroys everything that is biblical, oh, they're in on it.

Islamists who will stone homosexuals will stand arm in arm with LGBTQ activists.

Arm in arm, they do it every day.

Communists march with anarchists.

How is that possible?

Because their God is power and chaos, and they will lock arms with anyone to seize it but us.

No,

we can't link arms because I don't know if you're doctrinally correct.

You can't link arms with people who feed the poor and clothe the naked and rescue the captive and defend the family because you differ on doctrine.

If that is the hill you choose to die on, I will not remain on that hill with you.

Because that hill, the battle is already lost then, if that's your hill you want to die on.

The world doesn't need any more purity tests right now.

The world needs Christians that actually live their faith, and that faith bears fruit.

Does your faith bear fruit?

I think it does, or you wouldn't be a part of it.

When I see Christians rescued from slaughter, when I see partnerships that put aside pride in favor of love,

I find fruit.

Not for me, I expect

to get what I read online.

It unfortunately comes with my job.

But when people are mourning,

I would just ask that you not judge people by their label.

You would mourn with those who are mourning.

Be that Charlie Kirk,

or any of the many that are still to be slaughtered.

Stand with anyone who stands with Christ-like love, anyone who defends truth and liberty and family and the dignity of man.

I invite you to join me.

Not in our not in the joining of our doctrines and our none of that.

And if you will have me, I will gladly join you.

The day will come when we can argue doctrine.

It'll come, but today

the world is on fire.

Evil is growing out of control.

Our children's future is at stake.

Our very souls and the souls of all that live today are at stake.

Evil grows.

If not, you,

who?

If not now,

when?

Back in a minute.

You don't notice when your body stops hurting.

Not right away.

You don't sprint out of bed like a movie hero, leap into a

backflip off the porch.

You just stand and you stand without thinking about it.

And then you turn your neck without bracing for it.

And you're like, wait a minute, what's happening happening to me you open a jar without wincing halfway through dinner you realize i've been sitting comfortably the whole time that's when it hits you

10 seconds and back to the show.

Let me see.

Can we pull up the picture of the church on fire yesterday?

I mean, look at that.

Look at that.

Wow.

And,

you know,

I don't know.

I don't know what's true yet.

They haven't really come out with everything.

I heard somebody who said that they were in the building and the shooter came in,

drove through the front door.

Everybody was up on the stand.

I think it was their child, you know,

it's like a preschool thing where all of the kids are up on the, you know, up in the front and they're doing, you know, songs and everything else.

I think that's, I think yesterday was that for this particular church.

And the

truck hit the front door, shook

even the pulpit.

People started screaming, et cetera, et cetera.

I think the bishop went out and took a shot in protection for others, but he was, the guy got out and apparently he was saying, you know,

Who do you worship, Jesus or Joseph Smith?

Or who do you love?

Jesus Jesus or Joseph Smith?

And I'm like, well, those don't really fit in the same category as one of them is the savior and creator of the universe.

But

if you didn't answer fast enough, I guess he shot you.

I personally do not think this, I could be wrong.

I personally do not think this was some crazy man who was a right-wing Christian that hated Mormons.

I don't think that.

I think this was a crazy man.

Just to interrupt you a little bit on that one.

So Fox and friends, Caroline Levitt, was on and did say, from what I understand based on my conversations with the FBI director, all they know right now is this was an individual who hated people of the Mormon faith.

Oh, geez.

And that doesn't mean, I think

you said, you know, right-wing Christian.

We have no evidence of that.

But at least this is the initial indication is it was a targeted attack on Mormons at this particular church.

Well,

I thank God

for you.

I thank God for this audience

because I know who you are.

And I thank God for the loving

gospel of peace that will keep

Mormons from retaliating against something like that.

Praise be to the Lord.

Glenn Beck.

All right, more in just a second.

And I want to take you up to North Carolina and what happened there, because that is another disturbing story.

We'll get to that here in a second.

Let me tell you about Z-Factor.

It's easy to forget about what real sleep feels like.

You know, you're down at night, you call it rest, but

what if it's not?

You're tossing and turning.

You can't really, you know, you're waking up all night long.

You're checking the clock, the phone in the the dark, you try to convince yourself that six broken hours is good enough.

And the next day, your patience is gone.

And,

you know, you just can't get anything done.

The truth is,

sleep is essential to be able to repair the body.

And you can't just knock it out with heavy drugs.

You can't.

Z-Factor is a natural sleep aid from the makers of Relief Factor, and it's helped you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and actually feel rested when you wake up.

No knockout drops, no groggy aftermath.

No, I did what last night?

None of that.

Time to get stopped just getting through the night and start experiencing what real rest feels like.

Again, Z Factor, rest like you mean it.

First time Z Factor buyers enjoy 46% savings.

It's 1995 for a 30-day supply.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

My prayer is that those of us who profess discipleship

will lead.

We'll lead

And lead in our own faith and our own church,

especially when your church is not leading.

If your church wasn't talking about these things yesterday, maybe you should find a new church.

I don't know.

There's been

a lot of things going on.

And

we need pastors that are actually

talking about things.

They're not talking about politics.

They're talking about

how do I love my neighbor if my neighbor hates me?

How do I do that?

And not some 2,000-year-old example,

but something that you can take that 2,000-year-old example and go, see, it's like this today.

Because

it's hard enough to understand the thing.

We need people who are applying it today.

Because there's

I want you to understand,

there is hatred on the rise, there is violence on the rise, there's all of this stuff on the rise, but what is it really?

What is really on the rise?

Evil.

It's evil.

That's what's on the rise.

Evil.

Chaos.

Disorder.

That all comes from one author, and it's evil.

Madman, and I mean mean madman in this particular case he targeted a crowded dockside restaurant in north carolina

he was arrested on saturday

he fired his rifle into a crowd of diners

three people were killed eight were injured this was on saturday

And this is happening in small communities.

And you're like, what is happening to us?

Now, records show that this guy,

he has been filing these really bizarre lawsuits in North Carolina.

One, he was accusing a Southport church of trying to kill him.

The suit, which was filed in May, claimed the generations church was behind a civil conspiracy masterminded by the LGBTQ community.

And white supremacist pedophiles were trying to kill him because he was a straight man.

That's not the only lawsuit he has filed.

This guy is

unstable, very unstable.

He was also a Marine.

Purple Heart, Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, Combat Action Ribbon, Sea Service Deployment Ribbon,

Iraq Campaign Medal.

Two bronze stars, a humanitarian service medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Global War on

Terrorism Service Medal, National Defense Service Medal.

Two bronze stars.

How did he get here?

I think we have a lot of really unstable people, and we have been dismissing mental health.

And

this is one of the things I talked about years ago with AI that frightened me with all of the information on everybody.

It wouldn't be hard.

And I'm not saying this is happening, but it will eventually.

You could,

an evil overseer

could easily say, I want everybody in this zip code, tell me everybody who's on meds, who is seeing a doctor for schizophrenia, whatever.

unstable, has had brushes with the police.

I want everybody in that zip code, give me the names.

Now, now that I have the names, because it would take about that fast, now that I have the names, find the one that I can destabilize to get them, to convince them to go shoot this person or shoot whatever up.

All of that information and all of those devices now exist and can be done in an ephemeral way, so there's no evidence of it.

Now, that I do not believe that is happening.

That's me as a fiction author putting that out.

But here is what is happening.

Evil can do exactly the same thing.

Exactly the same thing.

Doesn't need the internet.

Doesn't need a device to do it.

We live, and I said this to you a couple months ago, we are now living in Gotham.

And you need to understand that the times and the seasons have changed.

We're now living in Gotham.

And this is all part of the leftist plan.

Destabilize, release people from prison, cause chaos in the streets.

This is by design.

But now we have

unstable people on the streets,

in an atmosphere of chaos,

in a society that has dismissed actions, glorified the actions of those who are shooting people, and made it seem almost normal and reasonable that you can do it.

And then, on top of it, we have dismissed those who really need psychiatric help.

When I said we were living in Gotham, I want to play a scene, and I want you to think of this comes from Batman Begins,

and it's the scene, or sorry, dark night.

Sorry, dark night.

And it's the scene where

the Joker has been taken in to jail, and he's in a holding sale.

And then there's like the drunk tank where all the other guys that have just riff-rafted that have been picked up, and they're right in a jail in the center of the police building.

Okay.

And if you remember right,

Joker needed to break out of jail.

So how was he going to do it?

And you didn't know.

Until somebody who was in the holding cell, clearly unstable, called called to one of the police officers, and this happened.

Listen.

Please, my insights hurt.

I don't really care.

Back away.

The boss said he'd make the voices go away.

He said he'd go inside and replace them with bright lights.

Like Christmas.

You're out of your mind, pal.

Back off.

Back right away at the holding tank.

Come on.

Is that a

phone?

So, what is that scene?

That scene is a very disturbed man

who is hearing voices, clearly, medically, in trouble, hearing voices.

He doesn't get any help.

And so he says, the boss said

he'd make the voices go away.

I want you to think of Joker, because in that scenario, that's the boss, the Joker.

I want you to think of the Joker as Satan.

Some people just like to watch the world burn.

That is probably

one of the better depictions of Satan

in contemporary media.

Joker.

He took unstable people

and whipped them up.

And

the guy says, the boss said he would make the voices stop and replace them with bright lights like Christmas.

Satan is whispering to people, this is good.

I'll make all of that pain stop.

It's good that you do this.

It's going to lead to your happiness, happiness, et cetera, et cetera.

And then they die in the end because Satan doesn't care another soul destroyed.

We're entering a phase now where we have actual hatred on the streets.

As Stu said, and I just found out, as Stu told me, and I...

I pray this is just an unstable person that had a problem with Mormons.

But we don't know yet.

But apparently, the killer had a problem with Mormons.

I'm praying that they're unstable because I can at least get my arms around that.

But we have people who know exactly what they're doing, know exactly what they're doing.

Those who are being used and still know what they're doing.

And then we have those who are mentally ill,

who are going to be used by the literal Joker and promise that he will replace those voices with bright lights.

Both shooters, at least as it stands now, both shooters from this weekend, were both U.S.

Marines.

Ask yourself this.

If that becomes a trend,

and by the way,

you can thank God that Trump is in office today, but that doesn't last forever.

And these things happen,

how long before the left, who only wants guns to be removed, doesn't really care, just wants guns removed,

how long before they're saying

our military is unstable

and we have to remove guns from our military?

And then what does that do?

Friday, I told you what was happening in South Korea is happening here.

It is a blueprint.

And it is going to be our responsibility as people who love the Republic, who love America, who love freedom

to make sure that we remain in control of ourselves.

That we do not add to the chaos.

Instead, we find ways to be peacemakers.

We stand firmly in what we believe.

We stand up against evil and we stand up against lies.

But we stand up firmly rooted in those principles of Judeo-Christian principles that made this country what it is today.

Because there are going to be voices on both sides, on both sides, that want to seize power.

Because if things continue to get out of control, people will start to scream with it.

They'll scream.

Do whatever you have to do to make it stop.

And that's when you lose a republic.

We must rely on one another.

And we must rely

on the decency of others

and the foresight of those we elect, especially locally,

to help people who are in deep, deep need

psychologically

because they are out on the streets in droves.

Just another layer to the chaos

that

the Joker is planting.

Let me tell you about Cozy Earth.

Cozy Earth, I mean, you know, the world is a dangerous place.

And every day it feels like the world is taking a swing at you and your family.

It's loud.

It's cold.

It's relentless.

You know, every day there's a news story.

I didn't need to hear that.

But it's always something.

And your home has to be something more.

Your home has to be a haven, a sanctuary, a place that warms your bones and your children's spirits.

A place where they can drop their guard, be held even just by a blanket.

a nest where the little birds can fly back to when the rain comes pouring down.

Cozy Earth wants to help you build that nest.

You have to build it

through spiritual means, but

you can also make it easy to have it just a cozy place where, I mean,

wouldn't you love to have a blanket that you wrap around your kids that feels like

they always can feel you hugging them even though you're not hugging them?

Or a towel that wraps up and makes them into a burrito when they get out of the bathroom.

You know, they get out of the bathroom all wet and you wrap them up in that towel and it's just so soft and cozy.

That's the kind of memories you want the home

to have them recall when they grow up.

The kind of fabric that feels like a promise: you're home now, you're safe, let it go.

Cozy Earth can help you with that.

This is

Glenn Beck.

There's a couple of stories that are very disturbing to me.

Speaking of the Antichrist, the new digital ID is now mandatory in the UK.

This came out from Starmer on Friday.

We're going to get into this.

What does it mean?

Switzerland just passed this.

Australia has passed this.

This is the beginning of the totalitarian surveillance state.

And it's coming all over the West.

Guarantee it, it will be everywhere.

It cannot be allowed to happen here in America, or your freedom is truly over.

So we got that going for us this weekend.

And Stu, what do you make of the meeting that Hegseth has called with all of the every single general from all over the world?

That's never happened before.

I mean, I have some theories, but I'd love to hear yours.

Oh, it's not particularly common, that's for sure.

I know that they

never happen.

They said something about it being he wanted to kind of set a standard of the warrior ethos.

That was the reporting that came out afterward, like that he just wanted to kind of set a standard for the entire military face-to-face.

He'd be speaking for about an hour.

That's what at least the reporting has been.

But I have no real theory outside of that.

Honestly, I have no idea what's, you know, I mean, I hope it's not something, you know, bigger.

And the initial worry was, of course, with all the stuff going on with Russia and all of this, that it could be leading to some larger scale effort that

they fear.

I pray.

Hopefully that's not the case, obviously.

I mean, I could see him resetting the military saying, look, I want to bring all you guys in.

Here's what we'll tolerate.

Here's what we'll not.

I brought you in because I want you to know this is not lip service here.

This is the way we're moving now.

And if you don't like it, get out right now.

Retire right now before I fire you.

I could see him do something like that where they're really laying down the law on the new ethos of the military, which I would take as a positive.

But we'll see.

We'll talk about that with, you know, at least one or two people that actually know coming up on today's program

This is

the Glen Beck Program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to Monday.

There is a lot on our plate today, but if you're like me,

it feels as if the world has just gone insane.

Evil is just out in the open, walking the streets.

Chaos is the order of the day.

Our families are being torn apart.

Our children are under attack.

Neighbors at war with neighbors.

Leaders drunk on their own arrogance and their own power.

And this weekend, my wife and I spent the weekend together

and

we talked about it.

And

I began to ask the question, what is the source of all?

What is driving this collapse?

Where does this begin?

And

I think I might have an answer for you.

And I want to share that in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's Relief Factor.

You know who you are.

The first one up in the morning, the last one to complain, the person who fixes the thing without making a big deal about it, and the one who lifts up those who need lifting, you know, metaphorically, but also, you know, otherwise as well.

You show up, you keep your word, you build a life around doing the right thing, and it's not an easy thing.

And you don't want the praise.

You just want to keep doing it the way you always have.

But lately, something's been getting in the way, and that is not your spirit, not your will, just your joints, your back, your knees, the part of you that used to move easily, right?

Relief factor will not change who you are.

You're not going to wake up in the morning and have somebody say, do you know what you were doing last night?

And you're like, what?

You're not going to be fuzzy all day because you're on some sort of a drug that is trying to take that pain away and it doesn't take the pain away.

It just makes it easier to deal with.

This will help you actually be that person more easily.

It's natural, it's powerful, it's a daily supplement developed by doctors to reduce inflammation at the source without any prescription, without side effects, and without slowing you down.

Two-thirds of the people who try it go on to order more month after month.

I'm one of them because it works for them.

You can give their three-week Quick Start a try for $19.95.

Just visit relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief.

That's 800, the number four relief.

So

Tanya and I were driving from Texas to Florida over the weekend.

And

we took classes from Hillsdale online.

And it was really great.

It was really great.

And so we were talking about things, we were talking in depth, and we were talking about history.

And

at one point, I said, could you look up the seven deadly sins?

What are the seven deadly sins?

And because she's my wife, she was like, sure.

I think everybody else would go, what?

But she looks them up.

We start talking about them.

For centuries, Christians have talked about the seven deadly sins.

They're not small mistakes, not passing flaws, but they're the root of the poisons of human civilization.

And they are pride, envy, wrath, greed, sloth, lust, gluttony.

And as I look at these, I mean, I see all of them in our

society.

But what is the true impact?

What are the...

What's the impact of each of these?

Let me take these quickly here for a second.

Pride.

Pride's the root of all of our polarization, all of the chaos.

It fuels ideology over truth, righteousness over humanity.

I'm right.

You're wrong.

He deserved to die.

Anything that makes compromise impossible stems from pride.

Nations collapse because arrogance blinds the leaders to reality.

Envy.

We're seeing this everywhere.

But envy

is resentment.

Envy is the belief that someone else's success, wealth, or privilege is unjust.

Envy is the engine of class warfare, identity politics, and cancel culture.

Right?

Wrath.

That's anger turned into violence.

Riots, assassinations, online mobs, political revenge.

Wrath is why debate no longer stays civil, but escalates into destruction.

Then you have the other four, greed.

I mean,

companies exploiting consumers, governments piling up debt, corruption,

the concentration of power, all of that comes from greed.

Sloth.

What is sloth?

Apathy and entitlement in the entire culture.

Unwillingness to work, unwillingness to learn, unwillingness to sacrifice.

It leaves civic duty undone, creates a vacuum, and in that vacuum, authoritarian control comes in because greed is also playing a role.

Lust is playing a role.

Hypersexualization.

It corrodes the family, exploits the children, destabilizes the next generation.

It's always been present, but technology and media, now it is everywhere.

Gluttony, overconsumption, food, entertainment, digital distraction, whatever.

Gluttony, it dulls the mind, feeds the addiction, fosters dependency.

And unlike the others, its political weight is indirect.

So I'm going through all of these and I'm thinking, okay, would any of the, if we could solve one two, one or two of these, if we could actually make an impact on one of the seven deadly sins, because I think just the way I described them, I think you would agree, those are our problems.

Nobody's talking about the seven deadly sins.

But if we conquered one of them,

or two or three of them, would it make a difference?

The answer is yes, but I think the order matters.

Because they're all interconnected.

And

you can't tackle one alone.

It will weaken the others.

So which ones will do the biggest impact?

I think pride has to be number one.

If humility would return in our culture, in leaders, in media, in ourselves,

truth would come to the top.

It would rise above our ego.

A dialogue could begin again.

We could talk to one another

and we'd listen to one another.

The next one would be envy.

Envy is running rampant.

It is what the left, not Democrats, the left, it's what it's built on.

It's what socialism and communism, it's all built on this.

Envy.

Class hatred, identity-based politics.

If we replace envy,

I want, I want, I want, it's mine, it's mine.

You have too much.

If we turn that over and make that gratitude,

then gratitude replaces grievance.

We're happy for what we have and happy for the success of others.

Wrath.

How many times have you personally, because I know this happens to me,

have you personally had some small thing happen and you just snap?

And it's unreasonable.

And you're like, whoa, where did that come from?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

That's wrath.

And it's because

we've done a couple of things.

We have no patience anymore.

We have no patience for anything.

Anything.

Now, now, now, now, now, now, now.

We don't want to wait.

We're not seeing people as humans anymore.

You know, they screw up their job.

You know what?

You're useless.

No, they might be having a bad day.

But we're not going to take the time to figure that out.

But if we could temper wrath,

then we could argue without destroying.

We need pride.

We need envy.

And then wrath.

If we could reverse all of those, because every victory in each of those would build momentum.

Pride corrected leads to humility.

Envy, if that's healed, that leads to gratitude.

Wrath tamed becomes righteous courage.

I think it was Thomas Aquinas that was the first to kind of put these together.

I mean, they had been put together, they kind of loosely come from the scriptures, but

they came together.

And then it was Thomas Aquinas who said,

What are the opposites of these?

That's what we need to foster.

And

that's what we have to do.

The world is in chaos.

Yeah.

And you're seeing it.

I'm seeing it.

It's in chaos.

But history will show us that

when nations

and individuals

renew themselves,

start over and say,

I'm going to renew myself.

When they confront,

in this case, the seven deadly sins, three.

I mean, have at the other four.

How about we just try to work on three of them?

If we can renew ourselves and confront these things directly, one step at a time, thinking very small,

stop looking.

You're going to end in nothing but frustration if we continue to expect a big answer.

We have gotten a big answer in many ways with the last election.

And in many ways, he's doing amazing things.

And we have to pay attention to it.

And that could go wrong at any point.

But we did our job.

We still have to hold their feet to the fire.

We have to pay attention, for instance, on the shutdown and

war and everything else.

We have to do that.

But why don't we now concentrate on the things before we're only saying just the election is the only thing that matters?

Why don't we concentrate on the small things that we actually

can do something about?

I was talking to my wife in the car.

I said, This makes sense to you.

And she said, Yeah, it does.

How would we do that?

How would we take on

pride?

Try this for a week.

Don't post anything positive

about you

for a week.

Don't post anything.

I'm not saying, don't, I'm saying, I'm not saying saying post negatives.

Don't glorify yourself for a week.

So, I mean, that's as small as it could possibly be.

Don't take pictures and make them look better than they are.

I mean, we're always, I mean, it drives me nuts.

I see these young kids and they're posing.

They just, they know how to stand.

They know how to, you know, pout their lips.

And, and it's, it's like, what is that?

It's not real.

I don't know what that is.

It's not real.

Don't do that for a week.

Don't, for a week, for a week.

Let's start with removing things first before you build.

Let's start with just trying to control it first.

Don't glorify yourself for a week.

Envy.

Don't allow yourself to look at somebody else's success and either be jealous of it or to say, yeah, well, they

just be happy for their success.

That's the one thing I've always loved about this particular audience and the conservative movement is

nobody slights people's success.

Just because you made it, I mean, you could lose it at a heartbeat.

But just because you made it,

it doesn't mean that you're better or worse off or anything else.

People are happy for your success.

They're happy for your happiness.

Don't envy.

In fact,

actually try to post something nice about someone else's success that you kind of have a hard time with.

Because there's a little bit of that envy in you.

Don't engage in any kind of class warfare.

I know you don't, but try to get your kids to do that.

No identity politics for a week.

No cancel culture for a week.

Wrath?

Let's start with a day.

Take a breath before you say anything.

And just remember what your mother taught you.

If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

Do that for a week.

There are things we have to do in the positive way, but

I don't know.

I'm so tired of just sitting around and saying, well, I don't know what to do.

And I want to feel like I'm part of something bigger than just myself when we do things.

And this is a way for, I think, us to actually make an impact, actually be better,

better as human beings, by thinking small, but realizing the dream is big to change the country.

And if we all did it, think of the impact of just this audience if we all did these things.

If we could reverse

pride, envy, and wrath.

Think about what a shining city on the hill just this audience would be.

We'll have more on this as we go.

Lots to talk about.

We continue the show in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's Chapter.

Since I started telling you about Chapter, they have already helped over 1,000 people in this audience,

and half of them have ended up with a better plan than they had before.

Now, this is,

if you are looking into, you know, Medicare

or soon will be, or your parents are looking into Medicare, don't do it by yourself.

Don't do it.

Now, Chapter is different because everybody will say, I want to help you pick the right choice.

Well,

are they?

Most of them, if not all of them, except for Chapter,

they don't offer all of the different plans because they get paid by the insurance companies and only these insurance companies are going to make money.

And so they may miss a lot.

Chapter, I think, does,

has

at least double the amount.

I think it's more than that.

Double the amount of options.

They cover all of it because they're a tech company first.

So they look at all of the plans and they listen to you.

What do you need?

What kind of medicine do you need?

What kind of problems do you have?

You know, what's your situation?

They listen, they put it all in, and then they scour all of the plans for Medicare.

And that's where you save money.

And that's where you get the right one.

And if you're in the right one already, they'll tell you that.

Medicare,

if you're on it, or will be soon or know somebody, give them a call.

All you have to do is dial pound250, say the keyword chapter.

That's pound250, keyword chapter.

Do it now.

It's easy and completely free.

Chapter.

Dial pound250.

10 seconds, station ID.

Welcome to Stu Bergeer, our executive producer.

Hello, Stu.

Thank you, Glenn.

I appreciate it.

You had some lessons learned on your drive, I see.

I saw you had posted some photos of what it seemed like a photo taken out of your front window while you were driving.

I was a little concerned about that.

My wife took that photo.

My wife took that photo.

She's like, you just want me to take a photo?

And I'm like, yeah,

I-10 is one of the prettiest stretches over, you know, three or four states.

You leave Texas and you get to Louisiana, and it becomes almost like a parkway.

There's very few places where you see a city or billboards or anything.

It's just woods for like

you know

Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Florida.

And you're like, what?

This is beautiful.

Beautiful country.

I think people feel

like there's a lot of places you probably haven't seen in it.

Yeah.

And maybe it's worth checking out.

Yeah.

I mean, I've driven the country many, many times.

I-90, not necessarily what, because you get to what's called the Badlands.

You've never seen a place that was more aptly named.

You're like, I understand why they call it the Badlands.

But it's such a beautiful and diverse country.

We're so lucky.

And there's so much space.

I don't know why we're all living on top of each other.

There's so much space.

Elbow room.

You know what I mean?

Yeah,

well, actually, Glenn Garbage is filling it all up.

I don't know if you've noticed that, but

areas where they just, the dumps all across the country, when they're going to run it, environmentalists have told me this over and over again.

We're going to fill up the entire country with trash.

And also, there's a big floating pile of trash that's almost as big as the United States out there in the middle of the ocean somewhere.

All that's very true.

Neither of those are true.

No, it's very true.

I've heard it many times from environmentalist groups, and that's how I know it's true, even though neither is even close to true.

Okay.

In any way.

Thank you.

All right.

Okay.

We're going to take on a couple of things.

The amazing story of digital ID that has just happened in England.

And you'll recognize this story.

You'll see this coming a million miles away, hopefully.

But what can't be done and why this can't be done here, but it's happening all over the world.

We'll talk about that next.

This is Glenn Beck.

All right.

Patriot Mobile, you know, every

company has a mission statement.

You've seen them, little paragraph about the, you know, company, the About Us page.

And it's written by a committee, stripped of meaning, you know, focused group to death, usually.

But some companies take their mission serious, and one of those companies is Patriot Mobile.

It's a wireless company.

But that's not why people should switch.

People switch because they're tired of funding a system that mocks their values.

They're tired of using their own money and having it go to destroy.

I mean, we're already paying taxes, and that's going to fund so much of these leftist NGOs.

I don't need my phone company to do the same thing.

They switch because they want the service to work, a company that stands for something good, and that's Patriot Mobile.

They donate to causes that defend life, religious freedom, and the foundations of this country.

They're good, solid people, and they run on the same cell towers as the big guys do.

So you get all the same great wireless coverage.

Sometimes you just quietly leave the table and sit down somewhere that actually feels right.

If that's you today, you can make a big deal out of it.

But I would just save money and switch today to Patriot Mobile.

This is what taking a stand looks like.

Make it easier than ever.

Phone upgrade or your number or keep them.

Hello, welcome to the Glendeck program.

So speaking of the mark of the beast,

let me tell you what I heard from Keith Starmer on Friday that made my blood run a little cold.

He is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and here's what he said at the reform conference.

Listen to this.

And that is why today I am announcing this government will make a new free-of-charge digital ID mandatory for the right to work by the end of this Parliament.

Let me spell that out.

You will not be able to work in the United Kingdom if you do not have digital ID.

It's as simple as that.

Because decent, pragmatic, fair-minded people they want us to tackle the issues that they see around them.

And of course the truth is we won't solve our problems if we don't also take on the root causes, looking upstream to tackle poverty, conflict, climate change, issues that aren't just intolerable for those of us who care about inequality and injustice wherever it's found in the world, but which have clear consequences for our own citizens.

Wow.

That is fantastic.

So let me just tell you what he's saying here.

First of all, it's a new free service from the government.

So, you know, if it's free, it's me, of course.

But he's saying that they have a problem in Europe.

See if you can relate to this at all.

They have a problem in England with people coming across the water and

just invading the country.

And then they're taking all the jobs from decent Brits.

And they haven't stopped them.

They're welcoming them in.

They're not turning them away.

They're not sending them back home or anything.

But to solve the problem instead, they're just going to have everybody have a digital identity.

That way, you'll know if they're a British citizen or not.

Oh,

oh, okay.

You know, there's an easier way to solve this.

I don't know.

No, you just stop the illegal immigration.

You would send people back.

You do that.

You do that.

No, no, no, no.

Now, I want you to understand, and I don't know if I have time to get into this today, but this is the way progressivism works.

They create the idea, and then they cause the problem

that they can go back and say, we need to do this to solve this problem.

Okay, so they've caused the problem of illegal immigration.

They've caused the problem of all of these things happening on their streets.

But don't worry, they've already designed the answer, and it's digital identity.

Now, this is, it just was just voted in

Switzerland,

and Australia already has it.

Okay, so let me just give you an idea of digital identity.

This is from the World Economic Forum.

This is how they are describing what digital identity will do.

Okay.

It will give the users access, just think, what's left in your life.

It will give you access to insurance, to healthcare treatment, to monitor your health devices.

It will monitor your wearables.

And it will be for care providers to demonstrate their qualifications.

So you can look up, you can't do this now, I can't look up a doctor online and see if he's any good.

No, no, no, I need digital ID to do that.

But it'll also track all of my wearables and monitor all my health care and have access to my insurance and everything the doctors are doing for me.

That's great.

And all of that data goes right into a centralized data bank for the government.

Now, what else does Digital ID do?

Well, financial services.

You'll need Digital ID to open bank accounts, carry out online financial transactions.

Food and sustainability.

For farmers and consumers, you can verify where the produce is coming from to enhance the value and traceability in supply chains.

For travel and mobility, your digital ID will help you book trips.

It will help you go through the border control between countries and regions.

On humanitarian response, it will give you the access to services to demonstrate qualifications to work in a foreign country.

E-commerce, you'll need your digital ID to be able to shop, to conduct business transactions, and have access to secure payments.

On social platforms, your new digital identity will protect you for your social interactions, to access third-party services that rely on social media logins.

Your e-government, that will allow you as a citizen to access and use services to file taxes, to vote, and to collect benefits.

With your telecommunications, it will help the user of digital ID to own and use devices for service providers to monitor those devices and data on the network.

And telecommunications also to monitor devices and sensors transmitting such data as energy usage, air quality, traffic congestion, all of those things.

So you can see how helpful it's going to be.

It will be in every aspect of your life.

Now, the only thing that this leaves out is a digital currency.

But digital ID lays all the framework.

So then the government can say we have a digital ID and it fits right in with your digital identity.

And that's just going to track everything you spend every dime on.

But because you have digital identity, it will also help you, you know, spend your money where you can spend it, where you can't spend it.

It will have complete control and

oversight of your entire life.

Hmm.

Stu, I'm trying to think of some downsides on this one.

It's such a tough road to try to find any possible negative.

The justification is bizarre.

Is it really that they are saying it has something to do with illegal immigration?

Because

they have no concern over that.

What's the problem?

They have no concern over that.

Here he is trying to defend it with an interview on the BBC.

BBC is not really hard.

Here he is, cut three.

One of our viewers got in touch and wanted us to ask this question.

Russ Brown wanted us to ask you if you really believe that those profiting from human trafficking will think, oh dear, I have to check your digital ID now.

I can't carry on paying you £1.50 an hour to work in my sweatshop.

I'm absolutely convinced that amongst the reasons that people travel through France, which is a safe country, to come to the United Kingdom, amongst the reasons is because it's easier to work in our illegal economy than it is in other countries.

And we have to deal with it.

And those who are prepared to hire people illegally are not asking them for their national insurance cards.

So, what's the evidence?

What makes you think they're suddenly going to ask them for a digital ID?

We need to be really clear.

You must have ID, mandatory digital ID in order to work because we have to stop illegal working.

If you look at any of the raids, we've massively increased the number of raids on working premises.

It is absolutely clear that people are working illegally in numbers.

But why do you think that them having a digital ID, having to have a digital ID, would stop that problem when right now people are meant to have a national insurance number and card and if they're not asked for that, a boss is willing already to break the rules.

What's the difference going to be?

Well, the difference difference is this is on point of starting, not a retrospective exercise as it now is.

It is an automatic collection of the information by the government, so we know exactly who is working in our economy.

And it will help us enforce the rules that are there.

But there's no point people saying to me, why do we need it?

when we all acknowledge there is a problem.

People are working illegally in our economy.

It is amongst the reasons that people want to come to the United Kingdom.

We have to deal with that.

I made a pledge that we would do whatever was necessary,

use whatever tools were available to deal with illegal migration.

I intend to do so.

Wow.

It's hard to tell from that clip, especially if you're listening to it, because he's British.

And so

it's hard to hear flailing in British.

Like, it doesn't come through with the accent, but that is what he's doing there.

He's flailing.

No answer to that whatsoever.

He looks terrified.

There is no answer.

There is no answer.

They want digital ID to control the population.

That's what all of this is about.

Control your every movement, your every thought, your every word.

Control it, regulate it, and make sure that you're kept in line.

That's what digital ID is all about.

It's not about the illegals.

I mean, she's absolutely right.

You want a crackdown?

Crack down.

We close your company.

Remember, they're not America.

We close your company if you are found to have illegal aliens.

We close you down.

We close you down.

I mean, that would send a strong message, but they're not doing it.

They selectively enforce and then they make a little show of it from time to time by marching.

We do this.

March some people into

a big corporation.

How many times did you see that happen in

every presidency that you've ever seen?

They're not taking it seriously.

They do it for show, and it's strategic to keep you placated.

Oh, we're doing something about it.

They're not actually doing it.

All you have to do is stop people from coming in.

That's it.

Stop people from coming in and start deporting the people who are already here.

It's that simple.

One thing that's

an idea.

If you happen to be the United Kingdom, would be you're an island.

It's really hard for people to cross the border from France.

It's like really...

Now, I know there's a channel, but there's an access point there.

It's pretty easy to keep people out.

And you know what?

If you can swim the English channel, I might give you citizenship.

I might be like, all right.

You're in good health.

You made it.

We would do it with Cuba.

If you can get here, all right, fine.

It's pretty.

You made it.

Congratulations.

You're here.

But yeah, that's a ridiculous justification, particularly coming from this

strain of government over there, which has been

so open to this type of activity for a long time.

But

this could possibly be the solution.

I mean, it's the same thing.

It's like saying you had to have a digital

gun rights card, a gun license, right?

And it's like, well, aren't all the people who want to shoot

people with guns that are illegal just not going to carry it?

Are they really going to be worried about the additional six months on top of their life sentence for the mass murder they're going to commit?

I don't think so.

I don't think you understand how this works.

If you just had to have have everybody have a gun license,

if you bought a gun, you had to have a gun license no matter what,

and you had to have that background check, all these shootings would just go away.

They go away.

Yeah, but we already have the background.

This is something that already occurs.

I mean,

it is so insane.

Bad guys are going to do what bad guys do.

And if you already have to have a national insurance, I mean,

you want to talk about motivation of having an insurance guard.

Insurance.

It's not like a social security number that you're like, whatever.

This is insurance.

You go to the hospital, you can get medical care.

They're not getting those.

They're not getting those.

People are just saying, yeah, go ahead and work.

And, you know, I'm not going to give you any insurance and you don't have any health benefits, but you go ahead.

I'll pay you a dollar and a half.

Whose fault is that?

Whose fault is that, really?

That's the politician for allowing it to happen.

And it's the really dirty businessmen who don't care.

They just want to make it cheap.

I mean, that's the problem.

It's greed.

All the way around.

It's greed.

Greed is, of course, something I assume out of most people.

It's a natural state, unfortunately, of human beings.

And it's smart to understand that, right?

This is why to go into, you know, there's always going to be somebody trying to take advantage of your laws.

It's always going to to be a situation that exists.

You can do something very easy, though, particularly in that nation, to just make sure you don't have people coming in illegally.

I mean, that's not that difficult there.

It's much more difficult here.

I mean, we always talk about just, you know, hey, lock down the border to illegal immigrants.

You know, we talk about that all the time.

It's, I mean, look, it is easier said than done.

We've seen massive

progress in this area because Trump is actually taking it seriously, unlike the past presidents.

But still, it's not infallible.

I mean, it's a massive, you know, thousand-mile long border, and there's two of them.

And Trump is the only one in the world going the other direction.

That's why the world hates him so much, because he's the only one in the West standing in the way of this stuff.

All right.

Let me tell you about Life Lock.

Your identity used to be a name.

Now it's a password, a credit profile, a set of numbers on a server you've never seen.

And out there somewhere is a person who wants to be you.

That's why we need a digital IT.

Not because they like your style, but because the information that you have opens doors to your stuff, bank accounts, loans, lines of credit.

And the worst part is, if they get there before you or someone catches them, you're the one who has to prove you're real.

That's where LifeLock comes in.

They will monitor your identity across millions of data points.

They will look for signs that someone else is using what makes you you.

And then something goes wrong.

They don't just send you a note and a quick link.

They send you a human, somebody who knows exactly how to fix it and then does.

You've spent your whole life building your name and a name you can be proud of.

Don't let somebody else live off it.

Life Lock.

Be you fully, exclusively, unapologetically, you.

Glenn Beck continues next.

Netflix has a new, monstrous story to tell.

In 1950s, Wisconsin, Ed Gein lived quietly on a decaying farm, hiding a house of horrors so gruesome it would redefine the American nightmare.

Driven by isolation, psychosis, and an all-consuming obsession with his mother, he committed crimes that would haunt Hollywood for decades.

The third and most harrowing installment of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan's anthology series.

Watch Monster, the Ed Gein story, streaming now only on Netflix.

You know, Stu, I've been trying to be positive all day, but there, I mean, there might be an easier way to do this.

Asteroid,

please come,

crash and set us free.

You know, there is that asteroid that's due to hit the moon, or a 6% chance to hit the moon in 2032.

So, I mean, we could just be pulling for that one.

A slight change in direction.

Maybe it hits right into

our area and just takes all the pain away.

Is that what you're saying?

If it hits the moon, that's enough.

Oh, you think?

I feel like that would be a good thing.

I think it probably would do some damage.

Yeah, but it's a slow demise

for us.

So you want the if the asteroid is going to come and set us free, you want it to just crash directly into your location.

You know?

Yeah, I think so.

I think so.

Well, we can always hope and asteroid, please come

crash and

set

us

free.

I just just want you to know there is some

there is a chance that that asteroid hits us and

sets us all free.

That's sweet.

But everybody.

I feel much better about it now.

Yeah.

You know?

I do too.

Initially, I was like, I don't know if I want to die in a

fiery explosion for an snappy little jingle kind of makes it work.

It does.

It does.

That's advertising for you.

There you go.

Okay.

We're going to talk about the two killers this weekend, both vets.

What does that mean?

And what does it mean that Pete Pegsep has brought all of the top breasts back to the Pentagon for a meeting this week?

What is the speculation on that?

What could it be?

We'll talk about that.

Next is Glenn Beck.

So glad that you're here.

Let me talk to you a little bit about the Berna launcher.

You know, some things aren't about heroics.

They're about having a quiet answer for a loud, unexpected problem.

You know what I mean?

The kind of tool that sits in the drawer unnoticed until one day you realize you're glad it was there.

The Berna Compact Launcher is the kind of thing small enough to tuck away, strong enough to give you distance, and, you know, so unassuming that you could forget that it's in the room until you need it.

It offers a choice, the ability to create space to buy time to walk away.

It fires powerful, less than lethal kinetic and pepper rounds that stops threats without escalating to something permanent.

You know, you hit somebody with tear gas, they're going down for about 45 minutes.

It's time for the police to arrive and you to get out of there.

It's a compact, practical tool you can live with.

Surprisingly simple.

It is legal in all 50 states.

No permit required.

Designed for people who want responsibility without spectacle.

And, you know, everybody over 18 can use it.

It's quiet preparation over loud drama.

This is

the Glenbeck program.

Hello, America.

You know, I think for the very first time,

I could point to

the plan and I could show it to you not through,

hey, this is what's going to happen, but this is what is happening.

And you'll be able to see where we're headed based on that because of something that Keir Starmer did.

But there's also several other things that are in the news that play right into this this that you need to be aware of.

And we're going to start there in 60 seconds.

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

It has been two years since October 7th.

Two years since the world watched in horror as Hamas carried out one of the most brutal coordinated terrorist attacks in modern history.

Fathers were gunned down inside their homes.

Mothers shielded their children from gunfire.

Their children were raped and set on fire.

Heads chopped off of babies.

I mean, it was horrible.

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, they never left.

They were there.

They were there long before the attack, and they've stayed steadfast through every stage of their recovery over in Israel, providing food and shelter, emergency aid to comfort the survivors who lost everything.

And now in the shadow of this second anniversary, the Fellowship is asking all of us to take a stand.

They've launched a Flags of Fellowship movement to show clearly, visibly, and without apology to the rest of the world that Israel is not alone.

To get more information about how you can join this historic flags of fellowship movement, visit thefellowship at ifcj.org.

That's ifcj.org.

Go to Jason Buttrill, who is our chief researcher, military expert, and just knower of all kinds of things.

Welcome to the program, Jason.

I want to lay something out

that the left has done.

And I know I laid this out to you.

And I started saying this last week.

Look at South Korea.

It is the plan in action.

And then

Starmer, the prime minister of the UK, he came out with Digital ID.

And I'm like, oh my gosh, that's another step in it.

And you're starting to see this plan come to fruition.

Would you agree with that, Jason?

Oh, and then some.

You talk about South Korea.

South Korea did something in March that I didn't even even, I don't remember hearing of at all.

Do you know what they completed in March,

Glenn?

They completed their rollout of digital ID in March.

They joined the Swiss over the weekend.

They did it.

Australia did theirs in December of 2024.

The list goes on and on and on.

It makes you wonder why now, Glenn?

Why now are all of a sudden all these countries doing this?

Right now,

why do we all feel that...

Yeah, we could go.

I I would like to hear your opinion on that here in a second.

First, let me just lay this out.

I told you back in early 2000s that a framework or a net was being built.

There were people that wanted to collapse the United States and the West, but you don't just collapse it.

There are those like the anarchists, et cetera, et cetera, who do want the chaos on the streets and just to collapse.

But

you know, too many people have too much money to lose and too much power to lose and too much power to gain.

So carefully put together the framework of a new system and create it as a net that the old stuff can fall into.

So the first thing you do is create that framework.

The next thing you do is you look at all of the problems and the problems that need to happen for it to actually collapse.

And then you create those problems and encourage and feed those problems.

The next thing you do after that is you need chaos.

And so you have to have a street organization to be able to create chaos in the street.

And when the framework is all in place,

you have all of the problems growing and growing and growing until there's no real solution anymore.

And you have chaos in the streets.

where your streets and safety are at issue every day, where,

you know,

life is unlivable because of the economy, because of travel no longer breaks down, safety breaks down, you can't get the health services that you need, all of these things breaking down, and it's lunacy on the streets.

That's when all you need is a final push, and those on the street will scream out, we need a savior.

We need something, and it will then collapse into this new framework.

So that was the theory back around 2005 or 2006 that I was sharing with people that was going to happen.

And now we're in the place to where it's about to collapse.

The United States is not about to collapse, but the rest of the world is now putting into place the final pieces of the framework.

Is that your understanding, Jason, of or do you have any other thoughts on that?

That's absolutely what's happening right now.

And it goes way beyond immigration.

You You take a look at the UK.

I mean,

they've been having massive issues with immigration.

That led to people actually saying in podcasts all over the place now from the UK that now civil war is a possibility within the UK.

They're actually saying that.

This has come from the Brits.

They're usually, they don't even mention that word.

You know, they'll call it something nice, you know, like a civil disruption, maybe or something, but not civil war.

That's what they're saying.

Say not so nice get-together where we'll have tea in the afternoon.

Right.

But

that's the breaking point that they've gotten to.

You know, I wish I could go back.

This plan, I mean, the great reset, Agenda 2030, never stopped.

I mean, we've had other things that we've been thinking about in this country and we've been moving in a different direction, but the global plan for that never stopped.

You're just seeing it enacted through government in places like Europe, places like South Korea, places like Australia, places where they can get this done.

That can't really happen here as of now, but it can't go through government.

Because of Trump.

Because of Trump.

Because of Trump.

You have to understand,

anybody who just hates Trump, look, you can hate him for a myriad of reasons.

That's fine.

But you must recognize that this system is being collapsed all over the Western world.

They're passing exactly the same laws.

And Donald Trump is the only one that is standing against it.

And that's why the whole world is against him, all of the power structures, because they have a plan.

And he has said, I'm not doing that plan.

America will stand on its own under its constitution.

We're not doing that plan.

That's why everybody is doing everything they can to stop him.

And if they can't stop him, they'll just create the chaos in the streets where he'll be forced to do something.

And then that causes more chaos, i.e.

North Korea or South Korea.

Yeah, and that's why you have to even look past mass immigration because everything is connected right now.

I mean, look at the way they have decriminalized things that should not be decriminalized.

Look at how they've done a complete assault on the justice system.

Again, this is happening globally.

This is all over, but it's especially been happening here in this country.

We've been seeing that nonstop going on for the past, what, like decade now.

Have they been constantly like rolling back, you know, protection of the United States citizens?

The whole point is, again, to get to that point where they say, help us, just do something.

Now, again, it's different here in the United States, but it's not different with private companies, private enterprise.

Look at some of the biggest names in big tech right now and look at what they're saying.

Look at people like Bill Gates.

Look at people like Oracle's Larry Ellison.

Look at all these guys.

Look what they're talking about.

They're talking about digital ID.

They're talking about the wonders of how AI and tech and all that stuff can make things more surveillable.

I think Larry Ellison said that people will be on their best behavior once all these big tech changes start to go through because everyone will constantly be under surveillance.

They will move in that direction through private business because that's the way they'll do it here.

And they won't need a national digital ID rollout.

You've done stuff on the past with over the last few years talking about how, you know, the financial mechanisms are their teeth.

That's how they'll go after it.

They're starting that in the European Union.

They're starting that in places like UK.

If you're a big U.S.

company or even a small U.S.

company, as you go down the line, you're not going to be able to do business globally if you don't play within their system.

It is coercion.

It is forcing us into playing in that system because at the end of the day, the more global we are, we'll have to comply.

There will be no escaping from it.

So what do they do?

They double down on an assault on the justice system.

They'll double down on this feeling of people thinking that they cannot do anything.

They have no say.

And then what happens?

Eventually you see some of the worst atrocities that we have seen in our country begin to happen.

Now there's left-wing violence that is spiking over three decades.

That's all connected.

You're seeing these other attacks.

These people are just driven mad, driven crazy, and they're doing evil, evil things.

Everything is connected.

People are feeling hopeless.

Well, what's the choice?

Well, you heard from Kare Starmer.

Well, we need to protect you, to make sure that you're safe.

Not just the immigrants, but everyone.

This is for you.

It's to keep you safe.

Digital ID rolls out, either through the government or through mandated, through big tech things we use every single day.

There will be no choice after a while.

You will have to do this.

That is the direction they're going into.

It's crazy.

I wish there was a way for the audience to

search back, for the audience to search through everything that you have talked about over the past, what, two decades,

going back to like the Fabian Society.

Do you know what Kare Starmer, what he did before he was elected to Parliament, Glenn?

You know what he did?

I do.

He was on the executive committee of the Fabian Society.

It's all connected.

It's all the Fabian Society, in case you don't know, is a Marxist, Leninist,

communist group.

They claim to be progressives, but

their founding is very, very clear.

And their symbol is a turtle.

And

it's moved very, very slow, but when we strike, we strike hard.

And its whole system was developed to overturn.

Western civilization and Western democracy.

That's the Fabian Society.

And, you know, over in England, it's no big deal.

I mean, it's no big deal because they actually, you know, they do have

socialists and communists, unlike what we have always had here.

And we have them now, but we never had them.

They've had them for years and years and years.

And they've seen this slow drift into socialism and communism.

And

they have no idea.

The communists have no idea.

They lose in the end.

And they don't lose to people like me.

They lose to the authoritarians.

They lose, The communists lose to the fascists, to the ones who have all of the money, all of the power, and have the power of the internet and guns.

Those are the people that will win in the end.

You know, in that battle between, you know, the communists and the fascists and the socialists and everybody else.

That's who will win.

What they don't realize is there is another group that is going to fight.

And all they've been doing is trying to come down on the religious of Christianity and call those people dangers, etc., etc.

You know, all that Christian nationalism.

The reason why they're doing that is because they know Christians will stand up eventually for rights that come from God.

So they have to have you, your spirit broken.

There is no God.

There is no hope.

except the government.

And you will do what the government says because the government is the one put in charge by God.

And so they have to break that.

But the other one they're playing footsie with is Islamists, the people who actually believe in Sharia law.

And they will be the eventual winner.

In Europe and in England,

if it's not dealt with now, they will be the eventual winner.

And they're playing right along with everybody that they're going to kill in the end.

But they're playing along nice now because the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Yeah, Christians are absolutely one of the targets in this entire global agenda.

You're seeing that places like South Korea being played out right now.

You're seeing it actually still with private organizations within the United States right now as we speak as well.

You see the ADL put up a bunch of profiles where they kind of...

They played nice with their description of Antifa.

Played nice with them.

You said the most, you know, their usual crap about being decentralized, but basically said they're not that big of of a deal.

There's a few of them that are walk, you know, crazy, but they're basically not that big of a deal.

But on the flip side, they made Turning Point USA look like the radicals.

The ones that are Christ focused and then pursuing education and looking to God.

Why would they do that unless they want to take people's hope away?

Never mind this group that actually is violent, crazy, and psycho.

It's the people that are instilling faith and hope.

They're the radicals.

Tell me that's not part of the plan.

It is.

All of it is part of it.

And I want to go to the part where,

you know, what happens when a country is invaded?

What is the last thing somebody who wants to stay in charge does?

They open up all the prisons.

They open up the insane asylums, the prisons.

They open up everything and just put mass chaos and criminals on the street, hoping to, you know, have those guys create so much much chaos that the war bogs down, et cetera, et cetera.

We've seen it happen in our own wars.

This is what Saddam Hussein did.

This is what I believe the Taliban did as well.

They just open up the prisons and make it very difficult.

Well, what did we do?

We practically opened the prisons.

We stopped putting people in jail for actual crimes, real crimes.

We stopped prosecuting them.

We stopped putting them in jail.

And we let, what, was it 6,000 people out of jail, some of which should have never come out of jail.

And then we just dumped them on the streets.

This is all a coordinated plan.

You just have to think differently.

You have to think to understand it.

You can't think like a regular American.

You have to think like a radical wanting to destroy the United States of America and the Western world.

Once you take it from that angle, everything that happens in today's world begins to make sense.

More in just a second.

Our sponsor this half hour is Real Estate Agents I Trust.

You can tell

a lot about a person about how they buy a house.

Do they panic?

Do they chase the market?

Do they let some stranger with a smile and a business card talk them into some half million dollar mistake?

Or do they walk in with somebody who actually knows what they're doing?

Real Estate Agents I Trust is my company, and it is a network you can think of as a handshake, vetted and verified.

Somebody who knows this business, knows who to trust, knows who to, you know, who you can trust with your business.

The agents we work with know the neighborhoods.

They know how to spot a bad deal in the gloss of a fresh coat of paint.

They know how to get your house sold or how to find you the next right one to call home because they listen to you.

The truth is,

you don't want to just buy a house.

You buy a thousand little choices in a zip code and timing and price, and you know, but it's who you choose to help you buy that home.

Go there now.

10 seconds.

Jason, let's pick up our conversation.

Go ahead.

Yeah,

when you were talking about letting people out of the prisons, that's exactly what Venezuela did, which I find is very, very interesting as well in this entire destabilization plot for the United States.

They opened up their prisons.

and just let the masses go towards our border.

Did you also know that Venezuela also holds an annual anti-fascist conference every year?

I'm very curious on their, you know, how deep their plot goes into possibly even maybe funding some of these Antifa groups and other radical groups within the country.

I say that because it is very interesting that

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has recalled all these generals back to talk about

who knows what.

There's a few theories going around.

I have a few theories.

But I have a feeling that

a reorientation on our hemisphere is probably long past due and something that they're actively seriously considering.

Aaron Powell, Jr.: So I heard that we are redeveloping our strategies all over the world, but in particular, let's stick with Venezuela.

This meeting that they're having.

How unusual is this?

The president said it was unusual.

Pete Hagseth and the vice president tried to downplay it.

But from what I understand, this has not happened before.

Now, I cannot think of something like this happening.

Usually they would use just, you know, like some kind of a top-secret communication to just have all them on one, you know, meeting, you know, virtually and talk that way.

This is clearly something that the Secretary of War is very, very serious about and the president as well.

I have a feeling there's probably multiple things that are going to be going on.

For one, I think they want to, kind of like Congress when they force a vote,

whether they know that they know the general, the outcome is not going to be good for them.

They just want to get everybody on record as we've been briefed about this.

You've told us what your intentions are.

Now we'll be monitoring to see how this goes forward.

But I think that the massive damage that's happened within our military, specifically the field officer level

on that level, they want to get them all on the record on

what their priorities are and what the focus is.

I think that's like, and a lot of that is about, you know, Pete Hexes has to talk about, you know, the warrior ethos and what our new focus is going to be on.

But not only that, I think that they're also going to talk about a new orientation,

looking at some of the threats that are closer to home, some things that have been left, you know,

for far too long that they've let things get out of hand.

I think South America is going to be a very big focus of that.

I think countries like Venezuela are going to be a part of that.

And I think they're going to be, you know, preparing the chessboard for the next few years.

And

what does that mean that we're preparing the chessboard?

What does that mean?

Well, I think, I mean, when you look at our hemisphere, when you look at our areas, I mean,

talk about, you know, like the Panama Canal.

The president has talked about that.

But for far too long, we've let communist China pretty much have their way with the Panama Canal.

That's starting to change.

For far too long, we've let extremely violent people that have a very clear agenda direct what's going on from places like Venezuela, terror groups.

So let's pick it up there when we come back because there's also word that they may be seeing new operational mandates and new technology that would be game-changing enough to call everybody in and say, Look, there's a new way to fight war, and here's what we're doing.

We'll go down that road here in just a minute.

This is Glenn Beck.

You know, your dog really doesn't ask for much.

A walk, a pat, you know, a familiar spot near your feet.

Maybe that's why lately you found yourself looking down

at him and he's looking down at his bowl.

You know,

then he looks up at you like, I don't know if you've really held up your part of the deal here.

Not with the walks, not with the toys, with the food, you know, the thing he eats every day of his life, because you put it there every day, the same stuff.

And is it good for him?

I want you to know, if you're feeding your dog dry kibble food, everything good has been cooked out of it.

And you would never feed that to your kids, a steady diet of that all the time?

No, you wouldn't.

It would be like, you know, feeding your kid fruit loops

every meal, every day.

Rough greens is not a food.

It's a topper filled with the things most commercial kibble leaves out, real vitamins, probiotics, enzymes, nutrients that were cooked out before the bag ever made it to the shelf.

You just put it on top of whatever he's eating and then watch for the changes.

There's a reason Rough Greens is now known as America's number one dog supplement.

It's every story we talk about every day.

We're glad you're here.

It is Monday.

We have Stu Bergere, our executive producer, and Jason Buttrill, who is joining us now.

He is in charge of research for

all of my company, and also he is kind of a military analyst.

And we've been talking about what's happening with Pete Hagseth.

Tomorrow there is a meeting.

And

I have read, Jason, and I don't know how much of this can even be

counted on as accurate at all, but I have read that they may be introducing new technology to the generals and showing that there is a new way to fight war.

What are the odds of that?

So I have not heard that angle, but that would not surprise me at all because warfare has completely changed.

I mean, you take a look at, you know, the Ukraine-Russia war.

I mean, it's being test run right there in Eastern Europe every single day, and it has for the past two years.

And there's frightening.

I mean, absolutely.

I guess that's been said every time warfare has changed through the two great wars up until now.

But I mean, it's drone warfare just saying that does not even do it justice.

It's absolutely nuts.

Trump said, quote, we have the greatest equipment in the world.

A lot of generals want to be here.

They're also going to be touring equipment sites.

They're going to be talking about the newest weapons.

I don't know.

That kind of is a

tip of the hand that maybe that is right.

Yeah.

And that's, I mean,

every once in a while, they'll do a massive kind of like doctrinal shift.

I'm thinking about like, you know, you know, decades ago when we made this a giant shift towards, you know,

you know,

you know, air-ground coordination that the United States led the way on and we completely changed warfare the way we do it but I mean now I could see them maybe maybe they do have some people that are holdouts that still want to go in the other direction but don't want to go into I mean like right now there's there's there's some signs that things are changing like I don't know if you saw about a month ago Lockheed Martin Skunk Works program their experimental

you know military equipment design team they unveiled a new stealth combat drone called the Vectus.

And it is pretty crazy looking.

We still don't know all the details about it because it's still highly classified.

But they're clearly moving in that direction, it seems like.

But I feel like we have a long way to catch up on this because it does not seem like that's been our mentality over the past, I don't know, at least five, six years.

So when, I mean, it actually makes me feel good that we're working on a new defense strategy for the U.S.

because I've never heard that before, you know.

And it feels like, okay, well, it's got to be time for an update.

But what does that mean?

You know, you were talking about, you know, new defense strategy for this side of the world.

What do you mean by that?

What does that look like?

Well,

for far too long, we have turned a blind eye to

asymmetrical forces that are now, I mean, we don't even know how many terrorists are in the United States.

We don't know how many

groups like, let's just say, for example, like Trenda Agua from Venezuela.

Now, we know for for a fact they have worked hand in hand with the Maduro government in Venezuela to do whatever the heck he does over in that country.

But he let them come to the United States.

We opened the floodgates and just allowed them to come in.

There are asymmetrical ways that the United States is under attack from right now that we just haven't done anything about.

I'm not even sure if they know how to address it at this point.

And when we try to address it, you run into random judges saying we can't kick this person out of the country.

You can't do that.

We don't even know how to fight it at this point.

But I mean, just imagine our adversaries.

So, take a look at countries like Russia, take a look at countries like China.

Would they allow these kinds of asymmetrical forces to be shoved into their country?

No, of course not.

But we allow it, and it gets directed from places like the United Nations.

They'll fund groups like the Red Cross will go down into South America, and they'll provide maps and funding so that these groups,

I'm sure they probably don't know the specific groups, but just to allow people to come across the border all the way from from the Darien Gap.

We cannot allow this anymore.

And by the way, that's not hyperbole when he said groups like the Red Cross, the Red Cross was helping bring illegals into the United States.

Let me switch gears to the shootings this weekend.

Both of them appear to be Marines.

Let's start at the first one on Saturday in the Carolinas.

This guy was, I think, deeply, deeply disturbed, but he was in the military.

two bronze stars.

I mean, you know, that's not easy to get a bronze star, let alone two of them.

Apparently, he was suffering from really bad PTSD and

had filed suits recently in the town saying, you know, the hospital is part of a, you know,

I don't know, LGBTQ thing where they're after him because he's a straight white man or I don't know.

And he had some really crazy things and filed suits, and they were all thrown out.

But that shows that there's a guy who's deeply disturbed, and nobody did anything.

Nobody's helping him.

Then we have the shooter from yesterday in Michigan, also looks like he was a former veteran, maybe a Marine.

And this guy, I mean, I want to believe that it was just mental illness, that it wasn't some.

I don't know, right-wing kook that, you know, just was like, I'm going to get me them Mormons.

But apparently today we found out from the White House that this is a guy who really hated Mormons.

So

there was an attack on Mormons.

We know that.

But we don't know much more about him.

What's happening on both of these?

What are your thoughts?

Yeah, it saddens me more than I can express that these two attacks

came from, they were

part of my beloved Marine Corps that

is coming up in this.

We've been a country that has been at war over 20 years.

And

it takes already, that already right there takes a huge mental drain on people.

And I don't think that, you know, I don't think the VA is equipped to handle some of the trauma that a lot of our veterans are going through.

I think that a lot of private organizations have gotten involved and done a lot of great work, but I still don't think that it's enough.

But at the end of the day, veterans are just like people.

They're just like any other citizen in this country.

And right now,

violence, political violence, all kinds of violence,

people feel justified now in their actions.

They feel like that they have nowhere else to turn but to do that.

And that goes to me is a far larger mental issue now with people in this country.

It also goes towards, I don't think that it's being condemned enough, specifically from certain people on one side of the aisle.

Far too many people are making excuses every time violence like this happens, and people are just losing hope.

I think it's more of an endemic problem within this country right now.

It's something that we have to get a hold of right now.

And we need voices like yours, Glenn, that will come out and tell people that you are not out of hope.

You are not deplete of it.

There is hope out there.

You need to know who the people that you can turn to, and you need to know the places where you can get some help.

And that's where I'm at kind of with this.

You know, I said this to you

years ago, maybe even before you were working officially with me,

that I was concerned that the government would like to paint our soldiers and our vets as crazy people.

So they can take that threat off the street.

They can take away the guns.

You know, we can't, too much PTSD.

We have to have guns out of the hands of these veterans.

And,

you know, they had everybody just sign up and say, yeah, I had a, you know, I had PTSD.

So you sign that and you get extra benefits.

And that just seemed like a trap to me.

And now you, you have it.

I mean, what do we do to stem

this problem?

Yeah, well, for one, I do not like the way that's handled.

Once you process out of the military, I remember when I was getting out of the military, you go through an out processing and they talk to you and they're trying to get you like all the benefits they can.

And I think

their heart is good on it.

But they'll basically say, so do you have PTSD?

I was like, no.

Now, are you sure about that?

You've never woken up in a cold sweat or you've never gotten nervous every time you heard something or, you know, feel agitated or whatever.

I'm like, well, well, yeah, but that could have been anything.

PTSD, write that down.

We'll get you a little bit more money every month.

I think the way it's being handled now is

it's kind of a way to, yeah, just get people money.

And a lot of these, a lot of these kids, when they're getting out of the military, they don't understand what they're doing.

They don't really understand, well, this is putting me on a list.

This is putting me on something to where I can, you know, the government can use against me later on in life.

And they're also not prioritizing, this is just in my opinion, not really prioritizing enough the actual people that are seriously mentally damaged by some of the things that they've seen in combat.

And

that's a huge issue.

It's a huge, huge issue.

And I don't think it's being taken seriously enough.

And you're absolutely right.

It's a huge trap.

I don't know

if Joe Biden was the president right now or Kamala Harris or whoever, can you imagine what they'd be doing?

They already stood down the military last time for nothing.

Imagine what they'd be doing now.

Veterans, you will be number one target once a totalitarian, aggressive regime comes into power.

You will be their target number one.

And that is, yeah, that's scary.

And notice you haven't heard about calls for gun control.

At least I haven't.

I mean, I heard it from a few people, but it's not like when the media, when Joe Biden was in, they know they don't have a chance on that.

And so

they're not saying anything about gun control

because that's not going to solve anything in the first place.

But they're keeping their powder dry on that.

And if we would lose this next election, we're in trouble.

We're in real trouble.

Donald Trump told me it would take 12 years to be able to turn this country fully.

He said that's why he wants

a vice president that can run and run two terms because he'd do the first one, then somebody would follow him that had the same kind of ideas and could finish the work over the next eight years.

But I mean, that shows you how far ahead he's looking and how big the problem actually is.

Yeah, I got to tell you, Glenn,

to me, a lot of this goes back towards Kier Starmer just the other day talking about digital ID.

We have got to be laser focused on this.

You think about now, just with veterans that are claiming PTSD,

some of them might have it, some of them might not.

But medical records are going completely digital.

Everything is going completely digital.

Think about all the things that they can lock down once they identify these threats that they need to address for your safety.

Just to keep you safe.

So medical records, gun licenses.

pretty soon this goes towards

your identification online, all of that, all your biometrical data, everything will be tracked non-stop, driving records, banking information, all of that stuff goes in.

And speaking of banking, then that goes to CBDC.

That's when they get the teeth to it to really enforce all of this.

Then they can just lock down your bank account.

Look at China right now.

It's basically a social credit system.

It's what they're doing right now.

They do it through the government.

We need to be looking at, I don't know, look at Amazon, look at Microsoft, look at Apple, look at all these people that will just start start implementing this because it's i don't know they'll call it an insurance reason because they need it for insurance purposes just in case some of the you know their products are not used or whatever for the the best intentions so that's they need to track it that way it will happen hopefully not but i do believe that is the plan for it to progress that way and we're everything we're seeing right now it's all connected glenn i blame you for this i blame for how my my brain works now because i see all of this working together and it's all part of the plan my brain is like a humongous chalkboard and all these dots are being connected right now.

It's insane.

Well, good.

I give it as my free gift to you.

Now you know what it's like to live like that.

Thank you so much, Jason.

I appreciate it.

You bet.

You bet.

Bye-bye.

All right.

Let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's American Financing.

The funny thing about debt is how quiet it is.

It doesn't knock.

It doesn't shout.

It just sits there in the background ticking quietly like the bomb that you didn't hear until the very last minute.

And maybe you don't notice it, but it's there.

And when you do, maybe you start adjusting, you know, a little less here, a little more there, until one day you look around and realize all your hard work, you know, it's your money isn't working for you.

It's just paying for past versions of yourself, and it's doing it at scale with interest.

American Financing helps you take all of that back.

They're a mortgage consultant that does more than that.

They're strategists.

They look at what you owe, what you own, what you pay, and they find the gaps.

Now, maybe it's a refi.

Maybe it's a consolidation.

Maybe it's just a better mortgage structure than the one you signed 10 years ago with your fingers crossed.

You still have to do all of the work, but this time you're not working to catch up.

You're working to get ahead.

It's American Financing.

Well, I hope you are as excited as I am.

Bad Bunny, going to headline the Super Bowl here in just a couple of months.

I want to thank the National Football League for giving me an opportunity to make a concession stand trip.

I will say I'm a little concerned at the crowds that might be out there at the concession stands at halftime, but it at least will give fans

an opportunity to get out there and pick up some food and drink.

I will say Bad Bunny is a very well-known anti-Trump guy.

He's

not a surprise, I suppose, when it comes to artists

these days, but also a big anti-ICE activist.

And

as far as I understand, doesn't really sing in the language of the nation that he will be performing to, which is a strange choice, to say the least.

People are very fired up about this.

He also said, by the way, he would never again

sing in the United States, or I guess, I don't even know if, does he sing?

He'd perform in the United States because he's worried about ICE,

which is a funny decision because as soon as he was thrown a big enough stage,

he was fine with performing inside the United States.

Now, part of the reason why he says he didn't want to perform is because a large portion of his audience is Hispanic and he was afraid that they were going to get arrested.

I don't know what that says exactly about

what he thinks his audience is.

Does he think all of his audience are illegal immigrants?

I don't,

apparently, so.

I will say,

because it seems to me, I think to most people,

and I will admit, I have, I can give you the knowledge of exactly zero, precisely zero Bad Bunny song titles, let alone what actually is said in the songs or what they sound like.

I have absolutely no idea.

I can't name one.

However, he will likely be the most streamed audience in the world on Spotify this year, ahead of even Taylor Swift, right?

So this is, it seems out of nowhere, I think, think, to people who

are English-speaking.

But if you know the NFL's desire to globalize the sport and bring in much more cash than they currently do, which is also already a lot, it sort of lines up with that goal.

That being said, it's still a terrible, terrible choice for the halftime show, and I will be happy not to be watching or listening to it.

This is Glenn Beck.
