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

For a baby, life or death sometimes hinges on a single moment.

It is a decision made by an expecting mom.

Pre-born is there in that moment.

They are the ones that provide free ultrasounds to women facing the toughest decision of their lives.

No pressure, no condemnation, just compassion, the truth, and the beautiful sound of life.

Now, when a mom hears that heartbeat, something inside her just changes and she realizes it's not an idea, it's not a theory.

It's a child, her child, and it deserves a chance.

And pre-born doesn't stop there.

They stay with these women long after the decision is made with counseling, baby supplies, and real community support that says, you're not alone, because saving one life is only the beginning.

Helping it grow, that's their mission.

Helping mom.

Every donation Pre-born gives to

another mother helps that chance for her to hear that heartbeat and to choose life because somebody cared enough to show what was true all along.

There is life there.

Now's not the time for silence.

Hear the heartbeat.

Hello, America.

You know we've been fighting every single day.

We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.

We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.

But to keep this fight going, we need you.

Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?

Give us five stars and leave a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.

This isn't a podcast.

This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it.

So, if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.

Rate, review, share.

Together, we'll make a difference.

And thanks for standing with us.

Now, let's get to work.

Down the road where shadows hide.

Feel the dark on every side.

Stand your ground when times get dark.

Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glen Beck Program.

Everybody's favorite from the Atlantic David Brooks has just written an article.

America needs a mass movement now.

Well, they got one over the weekend.

And

movement does come to mind.

But we'll talk about that.

I mean, I got going to unleash on the hippies again today.

But I'm going to try to breathe deep, be calm, be more Christ-like, and just stick with the facts.

I'm not sure I can make it, but I'm going to try.

We'll do that in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about American Financing.

Your hard work.

You know, every day you come out, you come home after a hard day's work, you get paid, you pay your bills, and sometimes the number just never seems to move.

It's like you're running on a treadmill.

Nothing moves.

And that treadmill is built by the banks, and you're exhausted, but you haven't gone anywhere.

American Financing is there to change that.

They're a family-owned company that works for you, not off you.

They look at your mortgage, your credit cards, your loans.

They help build a plan that will help you get, you know, get free faster from all of those chains, sometimes years faster.

So what makes them different is the mission.

They believe homeowners deserve more of their homes and less of the stress.

And when you call them, you're talking to real people who listen,

who want to help you, and they've helped people all over the country find breathing room again.

Imagine what life would be like if your money actually worked for you, if every payment moved you closer to owning your future instead of just paying for your past.

That's what American financing does.

They turn someday into right now because you don't have to live in fear of debt forever.

Not when Freedom has a phone number.

And here it is, 800-906-2440.

800-906-2440.

It's AmericanFinancing.net.

NMLS 182334.

NMLS Consumer Access.org.

APR for Ritz in the Buy starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.

Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

So I want to just talk to you a little little bit about what happened over the weekend.

You know, they call themselves the Resistance.

They marched under banners and signs that said no kings, and they chanted about tearing down the powerful and reclaiming democracy for the people.

But I want you to stop.

After what you've seen this weekend, I want you to stop just for a minute, and I want you to think critically about one thing:

if this movement is truly against billionaires and the powerful,

why is it it funded by billionaires and the powerful?

It is no longer hard to dig deep into the so-called no kings movement.

And the more you dig, the more you realize this isn't a rebellion.

This is strategy.

This is not grassroots.

This is astroturf.

You know, when you come with signs that are printed by a labor union,

pretty clear.

The average person didn't do that.

They're like,

I need to get a labor union to make sure that these are labor union printed signs.

It's not happening.

So this is AstroTurf.

And it's not about dismantling power.

This is so important.

No kings would make you think, well, they don't want a king.

So they wouldn't want somebody to say, you know, COVID, you don't take the jab, you don't work.

You don't take the jab, you're fired.

You don't take the jab, you don't get to go to the hospital.

You would think no kings would mean all of that was wrong, but it doesn't.

This is not about dismantling power.

This is about rearranging power.

So let's start with the money, because in politics, money tells the truth even when people don't.

So according to several sources, including Fox News, multiple investigative reports, including Peter Schweizer, George Soros and his Open Society Action Fund granted $3 million to Indivisible.

Now, this is one of the primary organizers of the No Kings protest.

Okay.

So wait a minute.

So a billionaire, George Soros, gives money to help fund this against billionaires.

But it goes on.

Soros's larger network, the Open Society Foundation, gave over $7.6 million to the same operation.

So now we're over $10, we're almost at $11 million.

But Soros is not alone.

If you follow the funding trail, it leads to what a surprise the Arabella Network.

This is a network that we exposed on my TV show many, many Wednesdays ago, probably about five years ago.

It's a billion-dollar a year dark money empire that launders donations from the uber wealthy donors to grassroots activism.

Now you add in the Bill Gates Foundation.

You're really against billionaires and yet you're for the Bill Gates Foundation or the Ford Foundation?

Or here's my favorite, the Rockefeller Network?

Rockefeller?

You also have the Tides Foundation and Singham.

You have a small club of financial elites that are bankrolling what investigative journalist Peter Schweiser calls Riot Inc.

That needs to be known from everyone.

There is now this organization funded by billionaires, Riots Inc.,

and it is the permanent protest industrial complex.

Now, this is not just conjecture.

This is not opinion.

This is now documented fact.

IRS

filings, annual reports, public statements.

They all show the same things.

Billionaires are funding the outrage machine.

But they were holding signs that said no billionaires.

What the heck?

What?

Okay, so obvious questions.

Why?

Why are they doing that?

Well, they're just supporting democracy.

George Soros,

what?

Democracy does not require a billion-dollar scaffold of non-profits and coordinated media campaigns.

It doesn't need that.

Okay.

It just needs the truth.

It certainly doesn't require hiring data firms and communication specialists, you know, and scripts that will script out the entire protest

that'll make it appear as though it's spontaneous.

Okay.

What we're seeing here is not a movement.

What you're seeing is a manufactured event.

Now, that's not just my opinion.

That's now how U.S.

intelligence agencies have run regime change operations overseas for decades.

Go back many moons ago on our Wednesday night special again, and I will show you all of the ins and outs of what's called a color revolution.

Color revolutions are something that was done by our government, and this is part of the deep state.

That's why people say this is a deep state operation as well,

because

these tactics were developed by the

CIA, and they're called color revolutions.

And what they do is they flood the streets with, quote, organic protesters.

They control the media, the media narrative, they destabilize the existing system and then they overthrow that system and install a new one.

Okay, so we've done this over the Arab Spring was not grassroots.

The Arab Spring was done by our government along with others, including Facebook.

Okay?

The same tactics are being deployed here.

But here's the catch.

When the CIA runs these operations in foreign countries, they rely on young delusioned activists.

Okay, the people who actually, what is called traditionally, useful idiots.

They don't know they're being used and they have a genuine gripe.

Yet the crowds, I don't know if you saw them this weekend, at the No Kings rally,

most of these now are white baby boomers.

They're retirees who balance checkbooks and that are now waving anti-capitalist placards.

So wait, we've got billionaires and baby boomers.

Okay.

Does that sound like a spontaneous uprising?

Especially when, and I'll show you later, the signs from the actual No Kings rallies all over

actually have the logos of the corporations, of the labor unions, and the Communist Party.

There it is up on the screen if you happen to be watching.

The Communist Party is a sponsor and their logo is up at the rallies.

That doesn't seem spontaneous.

What it does seem like, and I was happy to see it, is the script is running thin.

The only ones that believe this crap anymore are the aging hippies.

The people who have tried to overthrow this government over and over and over again.

They want their Marxist utopia.

They've wanted it in 1968.

They wanted it in 78 and 88, 98, and and 2028.

They want the same thing.

No matter how many times it has failed in their lifetime, they somehow or another think it's going to work this time and they won't have to live under it.

So this brings me back to the paradox, which what I started with.

Why would the wealthiest people on earth fund a movement that says It's about destroying billionaires and their wealth and their power.

A couple of logical answers here.

One, they're suicidal.

They're self-hating billionaires.

Have you ever met a self-hating billionaire?

Because I have not met one.

And they're pretty confident.

They like it.

They like it a lot.

And they generally are a little egotistical.

They know more than you do.

Okay.

So what's left?

Well, the billionaires know by creating this, it will make them richer and more powerful.

How?

Well, first of all, you have to control the narrative.

By funding the activism, billionaires shape the issues that you and I talk about all the time.

And then they shape the solutions that you accept.

You'll notice all of this, you know, global warming stuff, that was all shaped by corporations, billionaires, and people who win in the end, governments.

They get more power and more money.

And we saw it when the wef started to do the great reset you had banks and corporations colluding to make sure that if you didn't agree with them you weren't going to get a loan from the bank

who does that empower you

or the corporations and the billionaires and the governments who are telling you the way they expect you to live.

Okay.

So you control the narrative and then come up with the problems and the solutions and everybody's like, yeah, that's, that's a good one.

Okay.

And if you make people believe that capitalism is the problem, then you can sell a new system, you know, under a solution.

Again, you don't believe this is happening?

Explain the great reset.

Now, you also consolidate power.

The regulations that crush the small businesses, they don't hurt the billionaires.

They eliminate their competition.

Let me give you an example.

During COVID, why is it COVID was suddenly non-existent at Home Depot?

But if you went to Ace Hardware, you're going to die and you're killing grandma.

How is that possible?

It's not possible.

That's collusion by the powerful, the governments, the industry, and the billionaires, eliminating their competition.

Activism becomes the battering ram that just is clearing the field and making you so you can't even think straight anymore.

And it shifts the blame.

So, by funding anti-billionaire rhetoric, they direct anger away from them and towards the political enemies of the things they're trying to do.

So, it's not about hating billionaires at all,

it's about hating the right billionaires.

It's not an attack on wealth.

It's about a hostile takeover of your wealth.

What did you learn in 2008?

Who got rich?

The billionaires and the banks.

Who had their money destroyed?

You did.

They're absolutely four bailouts, just not for you.

So

this is not about an attack on wealth this is an attack on your wealth and the saddest part is most people in the streets they don't even realize they're pawns in somebody else's chess match they have no idea what they're doing i mean listen to them they don't have any idea they actually think this is about donald trump okay it might be for you but it's not for the billionaires it's about the plan It's why it's happening all over the world.

Donald Trump is not the king of the world.

I don't know if you know that.

Why is this exact same thing happening in Germany and in France and in London and in Singapore?

Why?

Because it's not about Donald Trump.

It's about taking over the system.

And you're told

you're fighting against tyranny.

You're carrying the banners, but you're carrying the banners of the people who are tightening the chains around your neck.

And you don't see it.

You scream for no kings while the billionaires are crowning themselves in the boardrooms.

You rail against corporate greed while you're marching on behalf of corporate-funded NGOs.

You think you're dismantling power, but you're fortifying power.

And all of this, by the way, is happening while the networks, these same networks are lobbying for the policies that erode free speech, weaken individual sovereignty, empower

these supranational organizations that all of these guys sit on top of.

Now think about that.

The same people telling you to dismantle the system are the ones writing the blueprint for a new system.

Have you been consulted on that system?

You know, at some point we have to start asking the hard questions.

And I have some hard questions that I want you to answer in 60 seconds.

First, it's really funny how we learn over time.

Just try to negotiate with things.

Try to negotiate with pain.

You know how that goes, right?

You start bargaining.

I'll skip the gym today.

I'll do the yard tomorrow.

I'll, you know, you start making little deals just to to keep moving, but over time, those deals add up and the life you're left with is smaller than the one you wanted.

Relief Factor was created for people who are done making those deals.

It's a daily plan designed to reduce the inflammation that causes pain using ingredients that work with your body's natural processes, not against them.

You don't have to numb it.

You don't have to ignore it.

You can address it.

So you can get back to living life on your own terms.

Relief Factor.

It has helped thousands of people do just that, to get back to gardening and hiking and working or just waking up without the thought of, oh, geez, here we go again another day.

Stop negotiating with your pain, start living without it.

It's Relief Factor.

Visit relief factor.com or call 800 for relief.

That's 800, the number four relief.

10 seconds and back to critical questions.

Okay, so let's start here.

If billionaire-funded NGOs are truly about democracy,

why is it that they are always aligned with one political party?

If they care so deeply about equality, why are they headquartered in the tax shelters that they're in and managed through shell foundations?

If the goal is to empower people,

why is it that the people always end up with less power and these organizations walk away with more power?

Ask yourself this.

When was the last time a grassroots movement funded by the world's richest men actually made the world fairer for the average person?

What kind of Mother Teresa do you think these people are?

And can you give me any example of their other really Mother Teresa-like work?

What's happening here is bigger than a protest.

It is part of a longer game, one that uses outrage as a tool.

Chaos is currency and the illusion of rebellion as a way to reforge the system.

Okay?

Because once you're convinced that free, once you convince free people that freedom itself is the problem, they'll beg for a chain.

They'll beg for it for their own good.

It's for our own good.

We need this chain.

And that's when the kings, the real kings, step out from behind the curtain.

When there's an emergency for your own good, you have to remain inside.

You're not an essential worker.

You can only shop at Home Depot.

That's the sign of a king.

So the next time you see a march with a sign screaming, no kings, remember.

Kings don't usually, you know, they don't have to wear crowns.

Okay.

Think of the king of England.

He's rarely in that crown.

Once he's in that crown usually kings just sign checks sometimes they fund revolutions

sometimes and a lot of times lately they are the ones writing the script for the resistance for their own power and kingdoms

all right uh

we've got a We've got a lot to talk about and a lot to go through today on this no kings movement.

I mean, Stu, I found it pretty laughable myself.

Yeah.

You know, it's, I

didn't affect me in any way.

Wouldn't even have known about it, honestly, if I didn't pop online.

That didn't seem like a giant, it seemed less like a protest and more like, you know, a bunch of people wanted to get outside and get together.

Like I would make funny signs.

It's like, you know, I've been in.

I've been putting the puzzle together in the recreation room at the nursing home for several weeks.

I thought maybe I'd get out.

It was a sunny day.

It did kind of feel like that.

Yeah.

You know?

There's obviously the dark part of this that you're talking about, the funding and all these organizations that are real and really trying to do really terrible things.

There's the dark side of some of the people who, I mean, were dressed up like Charlie Kirk's killer.

Yeah.

You know, some really dark, dark things that were happening.

But for the most part, it was, it really was useful idiots.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because you don't get to numbers like they had, but with people who are actually involved in that movement, right?

Like the darkest stuff, and the Antifa stuff, you know, the international organization stuff, that's not what's making those protests.

This is just a bunch of people there as well that are out for a Saturday afternoon.

Those are the people that are convinced that everything happening in the world is happening, and it's about them and Donald Trump.

And I got news for you, gang.

It's not.

This is Glenn Beck.

All right, let me tell you about Life Lock.

Thieves have gotten lazier.

They don't even bother to wear a mask and break into your house anymore.

They just sit on their couch in their sweatpants and they steal your identity between bites of pizza rolls.

Okay.

And it's getting worse.

In Russia and in China, they have whole businesses.

They have huge buildings that people come to the office and this is what they do.

Identity theft doesn't look like the Hollywood heist anymore.

You know, it's either a guy named Chang or a guy named Chad typing really fast in his mom's basement.

And the only thing standing between, you know, Ivan and your good name is Life Lock.

Life Lock monitors your personal information, your credit, your accounts, your digital footprint.

And sometimes it looks weird.

And they'll let you know faster than anybody else on who's charging tacos to my card in Tulsa all of a sudden.

You know, when something happens, Life Lock is there and they have the restoration team to help clean up the mess.

Welcome to the Glendeck program.

We're glad you're here.

It was a mostly peaceful weekend.

There were no cars that were burning that I know of.

I mean, I discount

Portland and Chicago, Portland and Chicago and parts of New York.

But,

you know, for the most part, there were a lot of people that were gathering, and it was mostly peaceful.

And, you know, you have a right to protest.

However,

there are some dark sides of this.

Here's a protester from over the weekend

talking to podcast host Brandy Cruz

about his sign.

Listen to this.

Cut four.

Cut four, please.

Who are you going to kill?

Nazis.

Who do you sign as a Nazi?

What do you mean?

It's crazy.

In this context, who's a Nazi?

Stephen Miller's a Nazi.

So you're going to kill Stephen Miller?

If I had the chance, yeah, I would.

I don't want to find somebody I'd say on camera, bro.

Yeah, if I had the chance.

And then somebody in a Khalifa comes to shut them down and intercept.

I mean,

it's amazing.

This is different.

There are two sides of this protest.

One, the old people that came out, who are just fighting for something that they have fought for since 1968 and has failed over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, communism.

And then there were the

useful idiots that don't have any idea they're being played.

And then there are those like this guy.

Or let's try this one.

Here's

a protester over the weekend cut five.

Where's a shirt that says for Charlie?

Because I advocate for free speech.

No, man, you have to give free speech.

Wear a shirt that says free speech.

Wear a shirt that says free speech.

You get triggered because it has Charlie on there.

Because he was a racist, because he was a misogynist.

And that means that you are too, because you support him.

Get out!

Get out of here!

He hated people.

Yeah, just a huge city.

He hated anyone that wasn't white women.

Listen to what's happening.

They're saying he's a fascist because he wants

he is wearing a t-shirt that says for Charlie, who he said he advocated for free speech and discussion.

And then she just goes absolutely bananas on him.

Yeah.

So

that should tell you something.

Now, you watch enough of these and your blood pressure goes up.

You watch enough of these and you start to get

a little angry.

Before the show started today, Nathan, who's on our staff, he said, hey, I said, who wants to pray today?

And Nathan said, I've got the scriptures up, so let me just read this scripture And how appropriate is it?

It's from Romans.

Now listen to this.

Love must be sincere.

How much of what we do every day when we talk about politics is sincere, and how much is it about winning?

How much of that is sincere?

I think she was sincere about her point of view, but was it based in love and logic or is it based on rage?

Hate what is evil and cling to what is good.

This is one of the biggest things is if you can't see what Hamas did was evil or what the guy who killed Charlie did was evil, then I don't know how to relate to you at all.

Because we're told to hate evil and cling to that which is good.

Be devoted to one another in love.

Honor one another above yourself.

Think of that.

Did that woman love him above herself?

No, because she was screaming, shut up and get out of here.

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spirit, your spiritual fervor serving the Lord.

Be joyful in hope, impatient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Share with the Lord's people who are in need.

Practice hospitality.

Bless those who persecute you.

By the way, I'm not reading this for them.

I'm reading this for us.

I mean, Stu and I had a long conversation before we went on the air today.

We're like, do we live all this?

I mean, how many of our monologues, how many of the things we say every day?

How many times in our life

are we hitting this?

Just a reminder, too.

You wanted to do that, a big anti-hippie monologue coming up.

Just wanted to make sure you got to that today.

That's why I'm not doing it now.

It might be done in anger.

Bless those who persecute you.

Bless those who do not curse.

Rejoice with those who rejoice.

Mourn with those who mourn.

Live in harmony with one another.

Wow.

Listen to this one.

Do not be proud.

That is, I mean, the key to all of this is humility.

If we are proud, if we are convinced that

we have all the answers,

we're proud and we'll never be able to we'll never be able to actually do the right things because our

lack of humility will stop us.

Be willing to associate with people of low position.

I've got a lot to say about the progressive movement here on that one, but I'm not going to.

Do not be conceited.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil.

This is ends justify the means.

How many times do you watch something like that and your heart races, and you just want to go nuts?

And you will because you think that doing it on Facebook or X or whatever doesn't make a difference.

It does make a difference because your response makes somebody else's heart rate rise and then they want to respond to you.

And then it just spirals out of control.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil.

Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.

It is,

if it is possible, as far far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

I love the disclaimers in this one.

If

it is possible,

as far as it depends on you,

live at peace with everyone.

Do not take revenge.

My dear friends, leave the room for God's wrath.

For it is written, it is mine to avenge, and I will repay, says the Lord.

On the contrary, if your enemy is hungry, feed him.

If he is thirsty, give him something to drink.

In doing this, and this is the key to this whole thing, you will heap burning coals on his head.

And for a long time, I always thought,

wow, is the Lord a game player?

Is he like, yeah, look at what's going to happen, right?

Their hair is going to be on fire.

That's not what he means.

That's not what he means.

He means your goodness is going to expose their evil.

Your mercy will expose.

That guy standing there, he does not get upset.

He doesn't call anybody names.

He just handles it.

And you can see the difference between good and evil, mercy, and

vengeance and hatred and cruelty.

And when he says it'll heap burning coals on your head,

that's your conscious, your consciousness, your your your conscience that is you feeling bad about things because you just saw somebody behave the right way and that is that that fire that burns inside all of us when we're like geez that was really wrong on me i shouldn't i shouldn't have done that i shouldn't have done that and and that's the guilty conscience

and that is the only way you know unlike uh who was it last week that said you know the oh it was the guy the guy running for attorney general in Virginia.

The only way to make them change, you know, we got to kill them.

The only way to make them change is to, you know, cause them pain.

Make them feel personal pain.

Make them feel personal pain.

No, this is the way the Lord would say to it.

Be good to one another.

When they're hating you, be good to them.

Treat them with respect.

Treat them with mercy.

Treat them with kindness.

Because the Lord will then make them go,

and it's not fast and it's not easy and it's not our way, but

is that what we're here for?

Our way?

Because I honestly, up until the last few years, I mean, I've always tried

since I changed my life and

asked for forgiveness and stop drinking and turn my life around.

I've really tried to do his will.

But I think there is a level above that, at least for me, that I have not been hitting.

And I'm seeing it more and more every day.

Everything is an illusion.

All of this stuff, all of this argument, all of the stuff that we have, all the stuff that we're fighting for, all of it is an illusion.

And all of the things that we watch online and do, it's a drug.

And

it takes us into places that are not real.

It takes us into places where we either feel better about ourselves because we're just numbing ourselves and watching something and just kind of disappearing in the world,

or

it's giving us this illusion to do the things that are not good, whether that is just becoming more and more egotistical or angry or whatever it is.

And all of this stuff is really meaningless.

The only stuff that really matters is:

can we find a way to help people be the people that they were born to be?

Can we help people, because most people still,

they don't know why they were born.

They don't, and I don't either.

But it's our job to figure that out.

It's our job to get closer to that every day.

And most people don't think they have even a reason to live.

That's why people kill themselves.

There's no reason for me to live.

The world would be better without me.

And that's not true.

And that's the only thing that is real.

And that's why freedom is so important.

Because if you don't have the freedom to choose who you are, if you don't have the freedom to make mistakes, if you don't have freedom to choose the right or the wrong path,

if you don't have the freedom to feel the punishment of that wrongdoing

that

you caused,

you did the the wrong thing.

You pay the price.

If you don't have the system of freedom that makes you pay that price, you never learn.

And so you never find yourself.

Nothing changes.

It just gets worse and worse.

And that's where we are now.

And I don't want to live this way anymore.

I don't think you do either.

I don't want to hate people.

I don't want to be afraid of people.

I don't, I don't,

I don't mind.

I don't care what you believe.

I really don't.

I really don't.

Can't we just raise our families with some basic principles?

Don't you just want your kids to be happy and healthy and have a bright future?

I know I do.

And the way to do that is to give them every opportunity we can.

And that's not in stuff.

That's...

teaching them eternal truths.

And we're not doing that anymore.

And shame on our pulpits because they're not either.

Only 2% of our churches, 2%,

are willing to talk about the things that are happening in the world today and tie it to scriptures.

2%.

I'll get you the list of those 2% of churches, by the way.

We know them.

We've gone through them.

And Berna has done a recent survey on is the Bible true?

Does it teach eternal truths that apply to today?

The next question is,

what are those truths that the world is wrestling with today

that are talked about in the Bible?

And will you talk about them?

You ask those questions, only 2% of preachers will actually talk about it.

And that then leaves a giant hole.

And that's why I'm talking about it, because nobody else will, except for you.

You're talking about it.

Hopefully in your own life.

You're looking for it.

I'm looking for it.

And until we find those preachers that are actually doing it, we all start going to their churches,

we're not on our own.

We just have to do it ourselves.

It always comes from outside of the church.

A revival

and an awakening always comes from outside of the church because the churches always miss it.

Back in a minute.

Every family has one one meal that brings everybody to the table, that one that makes the whole house smell like home.

But these days, finding meat that you can trust isn't easy.

Half the time you think it's American beef, but it was raised halfway around the world.

That little sticker that says, you know, product of U.S., that's not true.

That little flag means nothing.

Good ranchers is changing.

Every cut they sell is 100% born, raised, and harvested here in the U.S.

So you're supporting American ranchers, American jobs, American values, and you can taste the difference.

Steaks, chicken, seafood, all delivered right to your door, vacuum sealed, flash frozen, and ready to turn your dinner into a celebration.

You know why it's expensive to make things in America?

Because we stopped buying things in America because we didn't think it mattered.

We have to save our ranches.

By the end of this program, another farm and another American ranch will go out of business.

We must turn that around.

or we won't have American food.

We won't be able to protect ourselves and feed ourselves.

So from now on through Thanksgiving, Good Ranchers is asking families to share a meal together every Thursday.

Every week, one lucky family will win a free Thanksgiving ham.

You just share a photo on your Instagram story, tag at Good Ranchers, and use hashtag Back to the Table.

You could win that Thanksgiving ham.

Welcome to the table.

You know, our community is like a cozy campfire with trusted friends.

It's a hell of a lot better than the raging dumpster fire of mainstream media.

Glad to have you.

Glenn Beck will be right back.

All right, picture this nightmare.

One of these days you sit down at your local bank to refinance your mortgage.

You know, people do this stuff all the time.

But the lender says there's already a lien on your home, one you've never heard of.

Somewhere, someone used your name to hijack your title, and you are left proving, I guess, that you didn't do that.

It's going to be very difficult to disprove this, right?

It's hard to prove a negative.

Criminals can forge your name onto a deed.

They can file it with your

county.

They can suddenly on paper own your home.

And then when they take out loans against it, they can destroy your credit.

They can leave you fighting for months or even years to prove that you still own what's already yours.

That's where Home Title Lock comes in.

This is a company that monitors your home's title 24-7 with the same kind of technology banks use to protect your accounts.

If anyone tries to tamper or transfer your title,

file fraudulent documents, any of that stuff, Home Title Lock can alert you immediately before the damage is done.

And because your home isn't, you know,

just your biggest investment, it's also your safe place.

And it's the place where you raise your children.

It's the place you've made memories.

It's your financial legacy.

It's where everything was built.

You don't need crowbars anymore to steal from that home.

You just need the internet.

It's interesting how you applied that scripture to a real-world situation there and that interaction between the guy and the crazy woman with the bright orange hair.

And that, like, you have, I think a lot of times, and I feel this way sometimes, if you don't get in people's face and fight back and get angry, it feels like you're rolling over.

Like, we're going to lose if we do that.

If we don't get, like, you know, if we don't use their tactics, we're going to lose.

Well, I think you look at that interaction and you see who won that interaction.

The calm guy who sat there and with a smile on his face talked about what he believed.

He didn't get, he wasn't the person screaming.

Because it usually ends the same way.

Get out of here.

Shut up.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And once you start screaming that, you're like, okay, I don't want to be a part of that.

No American, either side, no American wants to be a part of that.

I mean, mean, this is what Martin Luther King knew.

But good against bad, good against evil, and people will always choose good.

So

just do what that scripture tells us to do.

Live our lives that way, and you win.

May not feel good in the moment, but that's not what it's about, is it?

This is Glenn Beck.

Let me tell you about chirp.

If you're anything like me, you've got at least one spot in your back that feels like it's been in a fist fight with a cement mixer and it lost the fight.

Okay.

You can stretch it.

You can twist it.

You can lie on a tennis ball pretending that it's helping, but it's still there.

This is where chirp comes in.

Chirps is not just some foam roller for your back.

It's a spinal wheel.

It's engineered to fit perfectly between your shoulder blades and roll out decades of tension in minutes.

You just sit down, lean back, and let it do its work.

And every wheel is built to target a different level of pressure.

So you can ease into it or you can really dig in.

And the difference is uh you're gonna you're gonna feel it after a few days uh i mean it's like your back remembers what freedom feels like because when your spine is happy everything else is happy i found that to be true so stop living like your back is a pretzel straighten up go to go chirp.com slash back go chirp.com slash back use the promo code beck at checkout get a 10 discount off site wide uh use the promo promo code beck at go chirp.com slash Beck.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glen Beck program.

Hello, America.

Last hour we were talking about no kings, and I exposed the money trail.

I talked about,

you know, the useful idiots and the billionaires.

Why are you holding signs that say no billionaires when billionaires are funding this?

And we talked about the winning strategy for real freedom in a fight like this.

I want to talk now about, I want to talk directly to anyone who is planning on protesting or attending a protest before you pick up the sign

or before you go to a Thanksgiving war at the table.

I want to show you how to logically think things through

that will help you find the truth and help you stand firm in that truth.

And we'll go there in 60 seconds first.

All right, so let me just, I wish I would have, I wish I would have thought of this on Friday, you know, before the No Kings, but we're not done with these kinds of stupid things.

So before anybody, you know,

raises a sign, before you chant a stupid slogan, before you pledge allegiance to a movement or a political party, I want you to stop.

And I want you to ask yourself one simple question:

Why am I I here?

We live in a time where outrage is easy and thinking is really hard.

We live at a time when it feels good to belong and very dangerous to question.

We live in a time where

emotion is mistaken for morality.

And that is exactly how free people become unfree.

Not because tyranny kicks down the door one night, but because we hand it the keys in the name of change when we're not thinking.

So before you do anything,

before you march, before you protest, before you make a sign, before you argue with somebody, pause

and think to yourself,

why am I drawn to this?

When you're watching things on X, why am I drawn to this?

Is it anger?

Is it fear?

Is it guilt?

Or is it principle?

When I want to stand up for something, I don't want to do it in anger.

I don't want to do it in fear.

I don't want to do it in guilt.

I want to do it in principle.

And having a principle means you have a deeply held belief

that this cause

reflects truth and justice.

Now be careful.

Be really careful.

Because you may have been convinced that you're right because of what you're against.

But what is right and what you're against are not the same thing.

For instance, right now with conservatives, I guess it's becoming more and more popular to be against Israel.

Okay, that's fine.

You don't have to agree with Israel.

I don't ask you to agree with Israel.

I don't want to fight their fights.

I don't agree with their policies on everything.

They're not the United States of America.

They're their own country.

So I disagree with them just like I disagree with Britain sometimes.

Okay.

I don't really care.

But being against Israel does not mean the same as being for Hamas.

You've joined something different.

That means you have allowed your passions and your feelings to rule over you.

That's why everybody wants to make something, you know, that's why our Declaration of Independence and our country has lasted 250 years.

It's the only revolutionary document that has ever lasted.

And only one, only one in world history that ended with the same people who started the revolution.

The only one.

Why?

Because it didn't start with anger.

It started with principles.

We hold these things to be self-evident.

We don't want to be against something.

Being against Trump,

you can be against Trump, but that doesn't mean you're for Antifa.

Being for justice doesn't mean you're anti-ICE

unless your passions have overcome your logic.

So the first thing you have to do, why am I here?

And if I strip away the crowd, if I strip away the pressure, the chance, the popularity, would I be standing here?

If no one ever knew that I joined, if no one, if there were no such thing as as likes, no cameras, no praise, in fact, if everyone I knew and admired were against this, would I still believe it and do it?

If the answer is no to that, then you're not following conviction.

You're following a crowd.

You have to be convicted that even if I stand alone, I'm willing to do it.

So what does this movement stand for?

Am I willing to stand all by myself?

Do you even know?

How many interviews did you hear this weekend where people are like, I don't know, and they always say the same thing.

I don't want to talk to you.

Why?

Because they can't answer the question.

They don't have any idea what this is about.

Other than a bumper sticker or the press release, do you know what the real agenda is?

What is the goal?

Who is behind it?

What methods are they willing to use to get there?

Do the ends justify the means?

Now, this is really important because people are starting to believe, yeah, I can kill people.

That's what,

honestly, Virginia, you may not look at it this way, but this is the way I look at the Virginia election.

Virginians, have you decided the ends justify the means?

That it doesn't matter if somebody says I can kill their children to change their political point of view.

The ends justify the means.

Okay.

If the ends justify the means, you have to ask yourself this question.

What principles or freedoms have to be or are okay

to sacrifice for that end?

Because once you start sacrificing those things, like saying it's okay to kill children for political purposes, you become Hamas in the end.

History has a real warning for us.

Every single authoritarian movement, left or right, doesn't matter, all of them promised liberation, every single one.

They promised equity, justice, safety, and they delivered control, science, and fear.

If the message of a movement,

if the if the methods of the movement betray its message,

If it has to censor or coerce,

if liberties

have have to be violated, then it's not liberation.

It's manipulation.

If they have to manipulate people and cut corners, coerce or censor or betray liberties to get there, they will not stop doing it.

Next question you have to ask, does this movement make people more free or more dependent?

Freedom is not just the absence of chains.

Okay?

This was the big thing.

This was the big thing that

Booker T.

Washington was all about.

You can be free, but not know how to be free unless you're educated, unless you're willing to stand on your own.

Here's a slave that pulled himself out, defied all of the odds, became one of the greatest black Americans in American history.

And he was talking about be more independent, not dependent.

That's what freedom is.

It's not the absence of chains, it is the presence of responsibility.

So, if you think that freedom means I don't have responsibility, I don't have to do anything, you will be under the chains of somebody else because that means somebody else has to do those things, has to feed you.

And so, they will require you to do things because they're feeding you.

Ask,

does this movement actually

promote promote policies that trust individuals to make decisions for themselves, or do the people leading this believe they know better than everyone else?

Will it hand people more power to bureaucrats and experts and elites?

Does it always defend free speech, especially for those who disagree?

Or does it silence them in the name of progress?

Does it expand choice?

Or does it force compliance?

The only choice, the only choice you could say is the one that the right says, and I believe, is not a choice, to kill another human being.

I don't believe that's a choice if you're a doctor and you want to give somebody medication to end their life.

I don't believe it's a choice for you.

You can kill yourself if you want, but I'm not going to help you do it.

And I don't think it's a choice to kill a baby.

It's not.

It's not a choice.

That's the only choice

that they always point to.

My body, my choice.

Well, but if it's your body, how come you're forcing everyone to take a vaccine that not everybody wants?

That has to be consistent.

If it's not consistent, then you are living a lie.

You are picking and choosing the choices you want.

You don't actually believe in choice.

If it makes people less capable of living without the state, it's not freedom.

It's dependency dressed up as compassion.

If I want others to be free,

what does that require of me?

We love talking about freedom in this country.

We love it as if it's something that politicians can hand out.

You know, vote for me and more freedom.

What?

It's not.

Freedom is not sustained by our laws.

Freedom is sustained by our character.

This is what this means.

It means you have to defend the right of people that you despise.

Not just those you like and agree with.

You must stand for the rights of people you despise.

You must stand for the rights of people to say horrible things

that you despise.

Otherwise, you don't actually believe in freedom and freedom of speech.

See, freedom requires you to do the hard work.

And the hard work that nobody is doing, understanding issues deeply,

reading the original sources, not the headlines not the clippings not the tweets anybody who gets their news off of Twitter and Facebook

you are less educated and less informed than the people who read nothing at all

you have to do the hard work

And you have to do the hard work of mastering yourself, your impulse, your ignorance, your anger.

So you don't become the thing you're fighting against.

Has anybody noticed that that when you're watching these crowds, the biggest thing is hypocrisy.

You're like, are you kidding me?

You're saying these things?

Do you not know that you are the thing you're fighting against?

And freedom requires courage

to stand alone.

It requires virtue.

It requires humility.

And it requires the truth.

But how do I know what's true?

Give me 60 seconds and we'll come back.

First, pre-born.

Every human story begins the same way with a sound, a rhythmic, steady beat of a heart.

It's the sound of potential, of a future waiting to unfold.

But sometimes that story ends before it ever begins.

And that's where pre-born steps in.

They're on the front lines, providing free ultrasounds to women in crisis, because seeing that first image and hearing that first heartbeat changes everything.

Pre-born doesn't just help save babies, they support moms too with counseling, care, and real resources that give them hope and a path forward.

Because choosing life is not always easy, but it is worth it.

Every beat is a story waiting to be written.

With Pre-Born, you can help make sure that story continues.

Pre-born will help you do that.

They're expanding their life-affirming care in the darkest corners of our nation to help more women and save more babies.

So if you have the means, please consider, especially towards the end of the year here, a leadership gift of saving babies in a big way.

Your tax-deductible donation of $15,000 is going to place a machine in a needy women's center, saving countless of lives for years to come.

Dial pound250, say the keyword baby, or go to preborn.com/slash peck.

It's sponsored by preborn.

Preborn.com/slash peck or pound250, keyword baby.

10 seconds.

So, this is the hardest part of all, I think, and that is, how do I find what is true?

How do I know what is true?

Truth doesn't come pre-packaged as a slogan.

Truth is not usually found in a trending hashtag.

Truth requires years and years and years of work.

Most importantly, it requires humility.

If you're searching for truth,

You must be willing to change your belief or your behavior when you find it.

If not, you're not actually searching for truth.

Okay.

Ask yourself, am I willing to challenge my own belief?

Am I willing to end up at a place where I like, I don't believe any of that stuff?

I thought I believed that, but I don't.

And it's shocking to me, but I don't.

If you're not willing to go there, then you're not seeking truth.

You know, are you seeking voices you disagree with

or just people that are echoing what you believe

who benefits if I believe this who benefits who profits who gains power

truth has nothing to fear from questions all kinds of questions no no you don't ever have to fear truth doesn't care okay

lies have a lot to fear

so here's a test you should run before you commit to picking up or making any sign.

This is something you should commit to before you go to Thanksgiving.

If your side achieved everything they wanted, every law, every reform, every revolution, would ordinary people become more self-governing and more responsible and more free

or more managed, more dependent, and more controlled.

If the answer is the latter, do not join them.

No matter how righteous they may sound, do not join them.

No matter how noble their intentions, do not join them.

Because tyranny wrapped in good intentions is still tyranny.

We're standing on a knife's edge as a nation.

I mean, have you seen the price of gold today?

What is it, Stu?

$4,300.

Over $4,300, yeah.

$4,300.

$4,300.

Does that mean anything to you?

If it doesn't, you should check it out.

It does.

It does.

It's going to mean something to you in the end.

It means the rest of the world is saying, I'm not sure about this whole system that it's going to last.

That should change everything that you think.

It should change the way you say, okay, well, you know, I used to like this program, but I'm not sure we can afford this program anymore.

You know, I used to vote for this person, but that person will not stop the spending.

I want my kids to be able to have freedom.

I may not like everything about America, but I think America is the best system out there.

I don't want it, you know,

what is it, Singapore or something,

or one of the really, I think it was Afghanistan.

Saw some numbers this weekend.

Afghanistan has arrested like 2,000 people for

speech

problems in the last year.

2,000 people have gone to jail for something they posted or something they said.

12,000 people have gone to jail in Great Britain this year for the same thing.

12,000 people have gone to jail for free speech.

One of them is a kid who said, I love bacon.

We're on this knife's edge, and the difference between liberty and bondage is going to come down to whether ordinary people start asking better questions.

Before you march, before you say anything, are you thinking?

Before you join, have you learned?

Have you spent the time to ask these questions?

Before you speak, do you understand what you're actually saying?

Before you follow, Make sure you're walking towards freedom, not away with it.

And check the people you're following.

Is this a group of people that 25 years ago you would have been comfortable with?

And I mean that saying, you know,

I don't think any of us were fine walking with communists.

I don't think we were fine walking with anarchists.

None of us were.

So why are they not walking towards freedom?

They're walking away from freedom.

Why are you walking with them?

History is really clear.

Nations don't lose their liberty all at once.

They lose it one unasked question at a time.

Back in a minute.

This is Glenn Beck.

You know, sometimes your cell phone company is working for the other team.

I mean, you pay the bill, and sometimes that money ends up supporting causes that make you shake your head so far, you know, so fast, and you're like,

what?

And you almost drop the phone.

It's like buying a burger and finding out it comes with a side of political activism.

Wait, I just, my fries are funding Antifa?

What?

Patriot Mobile is the opposite of that.

They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider and they are proud of it.

They use the same nationwide networks as the big guy.

You get excellent coverage, clear calls, great data speeds, and you're not funding the ideas that go against your values.

Every call you make, every text you send, every month you stay connected, you're helping support organizations that defend freedom and faith and family because your phone bill should stay in line with your principles.

So switch to Patriot Mobile and put your money where your heart is, not where some woke corporate board thinks it should go.

Continuing my ever, never-ending monologue on how much I hate hippies,

welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

You know, I used to think that there was nothing sadder than an old hippie,

but I'm wrong on that.

There is something sadder.

An old hippie who still thinks he's a rebel while cashing government checks and writing ESG mandates and yelling at baristas for putting dairy in his almond milk latte.

What are you doing?

Listen, boomer, if I may say, or better yet, the eternal flower children, you had your fun.

I mean, you whooped it up your whole life.

You dropped acid, you burned your bras, you shouted down with the man, you know, while listening to music that made other people cry because it was so

incoherent.

But hey, good for you.

Good for you.

You lived a wild, free youth and you fought the system.

And then you became the system, which is kind of confusing, but not for you, apparently.

Now you're the man.

You know, now you're the CEO, the senator, the president, the billionaire.

You're the banks, the bureaucracy, the censorship boards.

You're the gatekeepers now.

And yet somehow in the deepest, most illusional corner of your mind, you still think you're Jay Guevara.

Don't know how that works exactly.

But for those of us who came after you, you know, the latchkey kids, we're kind of stuck once again cleaning up the mess that you left behind.

You know, we grew up microwaving our own hot pockets and letting ourselves into empty houses while mom and dad were finding themselves in that post-divorce single scene that you said was so liberating.

And you know what happened?

We didn't have all the fun.

We didn't really get a turn.

In fact, Generation X, we were supposed to inherit the world somewhere around 2000,

but

you just didn't leave.

I mean, he just never left.

It's like the guy who graduated in 1972, but still shows up at the frat parties wearing the bell bottoms and talking about how the revolution is coming, man.

Yeah, I mean, dude, that was like supposed to come 50 years ago.

What are you talking about?

And this week, this weekend, you were marching in the streets again with your gray ponytails and your Birkenstocks and some slogans from 1968.

No kings, you know, power to the people.

Do you not see the irony here?

You are the people in power.

And the reason why there were no kids on the streets with you, it's not apathy, is because they know the oppressor when they see one.

They know they're like, wait, you guys are with billionaire.

Nancy Pelosi is on your side.

Do you remember when you used to say, don't trust anybody over 30?

That's what you used to say.

Don't try.

You're three times 30 now.

You know, I don't know, Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders.

You know, I never took your Common Core math, but I think 80 or 90 is over 30.

And worse,

your revolution has mutated.

I mean, everything you stood for,

the 20-something of yourself would hate the you you have become.

It really would.

It really would.

You took rebellion and turned it into bureaucracy.

You went from free love to government-mandated drag queen story hour.

Wait, what?

What?

You went from question authority to obey the science or else.

Wow.

You sexualized our children while saying that you're protecting them.

Tell me, how is it healthy for a first first grader to watch a pole dancer in the first grade who thinks he's a woman, but he's a man?

Well, hell of that.

How is it healthy for a first grader to watch a woman who's actually a woman pole dance in the first grade?

Doesn't matter.

Both of them are damaging to our kids, but you're there.

You're the generation that said monogamy was old-fashioned.

that no fault divorce would liberate us, that the nuclear family was a cage.

And then just to drive home the point while you're in your 80s, you literally incorporated your ideology.

You were against the man, you were against corporations, and you are the people that put together Black Lives Inc.

Okay?

Whose stated goal was to dismantle the family altogether.

Bravo.

Way to fight the man, really, while becoming a tax-exempt non-profit with a merch store.

Do you not see what you have become?

And you know what's amazing?

No, you haven't.

Through it all, I don't think you've ever learned how many times does communism and socialism have to fail?

Do you know that in Jamestown, okay, 1619 project, Jamestown, you know the important part of that story you all missed?

Cannibalism.

Do you know why?

Because they were trying socialism.

You know, the pilgrims came over and they wanted to do it for God.

You know what they tried?

Socialism.

It killed half the population.

They're like, that doesn't work.

They learned.

They learned.

This has been tried over and over and over again, whether it's just because we want to control people or because God wants us to live that way.

It doesn't work.

And you've never learned that less.

Every time, every time there's a failure, no, it's just that it wasn't done right.

You arrogant SOBs, who do you think you are?

You are playing with millions of lives.

And now you're telling us that we should reduce the surplus population.

Have you ever watched a Christmas Carol?

That makes you Scrooge.

And your generation, the one that will not release the levers of government, central banks, Fortune 500 companies, You're executing a plan hatched in billionaire boardrooms.

Talk to your 20-something self about that one.

A merger of state and corporate power so complete it would make Mussolini blush.

And yet, when you shuffle through the streets waving your cardboard signs, you still think you're fighting the power.

We're fighting the man, man.

It would be hilarious.

It really would.

It was almost funny.

in a sad sort of way, but it would be hilarious if the wreckage you left behind wasn't crushing your own grandchildren.

What future does your grandchildren have?

Because you wanted this great society.

We spent it all.

We spent their future and their kids' future.

Because it'll work.

It doesn't work.

And what are you leaving your grandchildren?

You're going to be dead and they're going to be poor and enslaved.

Good heavens, man.

I am so done with you, hippies.

I have been done with you since about 1972, but

I can't take it anymore.

Generation X, we have held the door

and you refuse to walk through it.

It's time for you to get your golden watch and go away.

You know, it used to be you hit 65 and you go away.

You're 95 and you won't go away.

Go play golf.

Go knit.

Go do something.

Stop trying to remold the world in some old-fashioned way from 1960 that nobody wants because it doesn't work.

You know, I'm really tired of you lecturing us about oppression while silencing dissent, really.

I mean, I'm tired of the hypocrisy, of the narcissism, your refusal to admit that maybe, maybe, just maybe your ideas don't work and never have.

It's time for somebody else to take the keys away from you and take the wheel.

Not to grab power, but to take the wheel away from you, skip my generation, because you had that power.

You were just abusing us and abusing us.

So the latch key kids, we're skipped over again.

Give it to the next generation.

I mean, we're supposed to wrap up our power and our careers at some point.

You just don't want to do it until you hit the grave.

So, I mean, perhaps it's good that we've been skipped by because we can stand guard now to protect the things that we know are true, the universal truths, the things that you have spent your whole life saying are untrue, and then you incorporated it?

You merged it into a corporation and a global government?

Oh my gosh, the 20-something person hates you.

I mean, the one that you were.

We're going to stand by and make sure that we empower our kids and your grandkids.

We're going to remind your grandchildren that they're not victims, that there is something to do with truth.

It exists.

That God exists.

That God doesn't make mistakes when he's making people.

We're going to show your kids, our kids, and your grandkids the real freedom.

Real freedom is not found in government handouts or corporate-sponsored activism.

but in simple, radical ideas of free people exchanging freely with one another.

We're going to teach them what you seem to have never learned, that the Constitution was designed to adapt, not to enshrine your 1960s fantasies forever, but to empower each generation to build a freer world.

God, saw you on the streets this weekend.

Move aside.

Please, go enjoy yourself.

Enjoy your wealth.

Move aside.

So we can can fix what you broke build what you never seemed to want to build to give the next generation a chance

to chart their own course and don't start me with the no-kings

The rope may break,

but the ride goes on.

This is Glenn Beck.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Some shocking things in that monologue.

Really?

Yeah.

Number one, you consider yourself part of Generation X?

Not really.

And yes and no.

I'm 64.

65 is X.

I've never related to the hippies.

I've never related to them.

Always despised the hippies.

So I'm at the very, I'm at the last year of the boomers.

So I am technically a boomer, but I've never related to it.

And I don't really relate to myself as Generation X either.

I'm kind of, I'm in this, again,

the latch key kids kind of being in the middle of nowhere.

You know, is it though, because I, first of all, I understand your

everlasting personal jihad against

hippies.

Yeah.

But I am like, you,

I don't know.

Is it, is it whiny to be like, oh, you know, come on, guys, let us have our turn.

No, I'm not even saying I want my turn.

I'm not saying that.

I'm saying, can you let go from the grave?

You don't even understand what you're voting on anymore.

You keep bringing this old ancient ideology that never works.

You're trying to enslave the world into this public-private partnership where there is no freedom of speech.

You're You're violating all of this stuff and you're not going to be around to enjoy it.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

It is.

You're talking about the Nancy Pelosi's of the world.

Yes.

And when you're 19, you know,

my grandfather died when he was 67, I think.

And that was old.

Okay.

I'm 62.

This is the time when we should be mentoring people.

Okay.

This is the time when you have wisdom.

You've worked your whole life.

You have wisdom.

Right now, the younger generation doesn't pay attention to the older generation because the older generation, the hippies, are all insane and trying to enslave everybody or lying to them.

We have to empower.

What is the hippie?

And I don't mean all boomers because

there are a lot of boomers that listen.

They're not like this.

Not everybody is created the same.

It's the hippies that I'm talking about.

The people who have been for Marxism their whole time.

And they have done it through deceit their whole life they have done it in the cover of night their whole life

and they are trying to control people and what are they doing they're telling their grandchildren my grandchildren my children that you can't make it you can't make it you'll never make it this whole system that's an that's a lie

go away Go knit.

Go make a quilt.

Go play golf.

Go do something.

Stop telling our children these lies.

There's no way Nancy Pelosi knows how to make a quilt.

She doesn't have those sorts of skills.

Unless her with $1,000 bills.

Very expensive ice cream.

Remember when she had the multiple ice cream freezer?

Oh, my gosh.

She had multiple freezers in her kitchen, and they were all filled with Jenny's ice cream, which is like $13 a pint.

Yeah, she's with the people.

She's with the people.

Yeah.

Well, this.

Let me get me a beer.

Oh, gosh.

The Elizabeth Warren classic.

Yeah.

You know, and it's nice to be Nancy Pelosi, though.

I mean, she would argue, how am I still in power?

I just keep winning elections.

That's how I'm in power.

And

then I'm in power so I can learn things about various private companies and become the single greatest investor in American history.

She just seems to nail it every time, Glenn.

Every single time a company goes through the roof, she's right there.

It's so impressive.

Look,

I'm not saying our side is right on everything.

I'm not saying that, you know, but what I am saying, can we just use some logic?

You know, can we just,

I can be sure, I can tell you right now, no.

Did you see the protests this weekend?

No, we cannot.

Apparently, we cannot have nice things.

Can we admit that Stu and I talk about this all the time and talk about it on the air.

We're watching what Donald Trump is doing very, very closely.

He starts to violate the Constitution.

We're not for that.

He starts to become an authoritarian.

We're not for that.

And we will speak out.

Do you hear that from anybody on the other side?

The hypocrisy is just

he's he's he's taking the judicial system and and weaponizing it.

Excuse me?

You know, you have no, you don't have any place to talk until you can at least say,

but what our side was doing was insane and that can't happen.

Then we can have a conversation.

I can't have a conversation with you.

I mean, you won't even recognize.

I'll recognize my side.

Will you recognize yours?

This is Glenn Beck.

Let me talk to you a little bit about Jace Medical.

Imagine being able to handle a medical emergency without, you know, any kind of panic because you were prepared, completely ready for it.

Family member gets sick while traveling, storm knocks out power for a week, or you just, you know, you can't get into a doctor right away.

That's when Jace case changes absolutely everything.

Jace Medical gives you the power to be ready.

They provide doctor-prescribed emergency antibiotics and essential medications that arrive right straight to your door with real medical guidance on how to use them and when to use them.

You're not guessing.

You're not alone.

You're equipped.

You can even call your doctor and say, hey, I have this medication.

These are the symptoms.

I can't get in to see you for a couple of days.

Yada, yada.

I mean, the world doesn't always give you warning signs.

Supply lines fail.

Clinics can close.

You know, you just be on vacation for a while.

Preparedness is not paranoia.

It's wisdom.

Down the road where shadows hide, till the dark on every side.

Stand your ground when times get dark.

Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glen Beck program.

You know, there was a time where words mattered.

I'm not sure they matter anymore.

I always feel like you keep using that word.

I do not think it means what you think it means.

Words matter.

Now, the word fascism, I don't think has ever really fully been defined in the correct purpose in the correct way.

Do you know Mussolini and Hitler both said, FDR, I love him.

He's one of us.

He's a fascist because of what he was doing to the court system and how he was getting things done.

But you'll never hear that in a history.

You'll never, ever hear that FDR might have been leaning towards fascism, but it's true.

It's true.

So what is fascism?

What is an actual fascist?

Can we define a few words that we keep throwing around?

We'll do that in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about Simply Safe.

Wouldn't it be nice if we lived in a world where you didn't have to lock your doors?

Yeah, yeah.

Those days are gone.

Your home security is not guaranteed, but SimplySafe exists, so you don't have to leave that to chance.

They built a system that watches everything you value without ever making you feel watched, you know?

Cameras that see in the dark, sensors that listen for glass or motion and spot trouble even before you can hear it, and a team that's ready to act at a moment that something is wrong.

What makes Simply Safe special is how seamless it is.

You install it yourself without a stranger in your home.

It's beautifully designed.

It's simple, it's reliable, and it's quietly strong.

If you leave town, it stays alert.

If you're home, it disappears into the background until the second you need it.

It's peace of mind.

It's not a luxury.

It's part of really what makes a home feel like home, safety.

And when you have SimplySafe, peace of mind isn't just a feeling, it's a fact.

Simply Safe.

So

in the museum next door, our American Journey Museum, we have all of these documents where the government was doing, trying to define what fascism is.

I'll have to go through them today and maybe I can bring some stuff in tomorrow.

But it was just trying to define what is fascism, okay, because it was a new thing.

It was defined, I think, in 1925 in Italy with Mussolini.

And fascist was never really just kind of a lazy insult, you know, hurled across the political debate.

It was a warning label for the most dangerous of ideologies, communism and fascism.

And those things have devoured liberty and they leave nations in chains.

And today, you know, you're seeing it, fascist, he's a Hitler, he's whatever.

It's tossed around so so casually that it doesn't mean anything anymore.

And fascism, we really need to know what it is because it is playing a role in today's world.

I mean, anybody who believes in enforcing the laws and securing our border or defending the Constitution today is a fascist.

But words mean something.

So if you want to defend freedom, let's first reclaim the meaning of words that describe freedom's enemies.

So here's what fascism actually is.

It's not synonymous for a conservative.

It's not a synonym for authoritarian.

It is a very specific political ideology that came up early 20th century, most famous with Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany.

And at its core, Fascism is the merger of state and corporate power under a single centralized authority, usually led by a dictator so when you start to see corporate power and government power merge into a single centralized authority that's fascism and we've been watching it happen for the last 30 years okay

when individual rights are subordinated to the collective good that is now divined by the state.

When dissent is crushed because it's good for the state.

When the press is controlled because it's good for the state.

When the economy is directed because it's good for the people, i.e.

good for the state.

When the economy starts to be owned by the government.

Those things are fascistic.

And the difference between this and communism, communism, you don't have any rights.

You don't have any property.

It's all the state.

Private property under fascism exists, but only if it lives to serve the goals of the regime.

So you have all the property you want, but you start acting in a way that the regime doesn't like, that the government says, you lose your property.

You don't get to keep the stuff you have.

Mussolini defended fascism.

And he defined it himself saying it's the merger of state and corporate power.

Okay.

Now, does that sound familiar at all in today's world?

Does that sound familiar?

It should.

Both sides have been doing it.

One of them is sprinting towards it.

The other one is just keep shuffling longer and longer down that road.

It should sound familiar because, and hear me carefully,

the World Economic Forum, when banks and tech companies and federal agencies work together to decide what speech is okay, what speech should be allowed online, or who can get a loan, which businesses are essential and which ones are not essential.

That is no longer the free market.

That is not capitalism.

That is not a constitutional government.

That is textbook fascism.

So when the left is saying, no kings, he's a fascist, could we just go back to COVID?

What were you willing to do?

Can we just go back to if you don't

put a black square on your Instagram or your Twitter feed?

When the government works with the tech companies to say this guy who's running for president of the United States, he's a candidate, cannot post anything on social media, that is textbook fascism.

Now, Nazism

is national socialism.

How can it possibly be on the right if it's socialism?

In Europe, maybe,

but we're different here.

The right is not for socialism.

And national socialism shares a lot of traits with fascism, but they added the extra little poisonous element of racial supremacy.

Now, what is the racial supremacy?

Well, the key element here of racial supremacy is we want to kill all the Jews.

Okay.

So if you want to say it's a Nazi, you got to be for not making peace with Israel, not making peace in the industry or in the Middle East.

You got to be on the side of Hamas saying, we got to kill all the Jews.

All right.

That's the biggest telltale of a Nazi.

They have other things like they build an Audubon.

But the really important part of being a Nazi is we want to kill all the Jews.

Which side is standing with Hamas?

Sorry about the hypocrisy this week.

Couldn't take it.

Then the regime weaponized propaganda.

Did you know in 2008, Barack Obama removed the law of propaganda in America.

In 1945, we all went, okay, the war is over.

We don't want propaganda on the American people.

We had that law.

Barack Obama repealed that law.

So now it still is there.

It has to be reinstated.

Now the government can use propaganda on its own people.

That is another sign of fascism.

Who did that?

Donald Trump or Barack Obama?

Béjois.

They demonize entire groups of people as enemies of the state.

Now, we're both doing that now, unfortunately.

They justified control as a means of creating a pure society.

Well, what is the difference between that and we got to round these people up and put them into camps because they're never going to let us progress.

They're slowing down progress.

By the way, there is a symbol, the Indian symbol, the swastika, is square, okay, and it sits flat on the ground.

If you look at a swastika, it's facing the other way.

If it's Indian, it's square.

The bottom crossbar is flat to the ground,

and it's facing the other direction.

The Nazis spun it in another direction, and then Hitler himself said, pitch it.

So it's at an angle.

That bottom bar of the swastika comes up.

Do you know why?

Because it said it looks like it's moving.

It shows we're all about progress.

So no one should stand against progress.

All of this stuff, if you want to talk about fascism, the hallmarks are really unmistakable.

So let's just define it so we can all move on with our life.

Suppression of free speech, politicized justice, The elimination of political parties or opponents.

Which side was trying to put the political party or opponent in jail?

The indoctrination of youth.

Which one is indoctrinating our children in school and taking the rights away from parents?

And having the parents actually be

something that the the school is against and wanting the children to tell them what the parents are doing.

That is Nazism.

That's fascism.

And then this constant scapegoating for power.

Dictators, tyrants, whether Nazis, communists, they all have the same playbook throughout history.

You got to silence dissent.

You have to have censorship.

You have to intimidate.

You use street thugs that you declare are not part of your movement.

But I can't really stop them them because they don't really exist.

I mean, the brown shirts and Tifa, it's the same story.

They're not really real.

They're not really organized.

They're not part of our movement, but they use them to make progress.

Controlling information, state-run media, coordinated propaganda, okay?

Using compliant corporations, undermine the institution, the courts, the legislature.

The Constitution is bypassed.

Courts are reshaped.

Who's the one saying

we have to get rid of this Supreme Court?

And who was it that was saying, nope, nine Supreme Court justices is good?

And it's all done to shape power.

Then you blame others.

Doesn't matter.

But the best...

The one that always has worked the best is race.

We're going to blame it on the Jew, or we're going to blame it on the

Or we're going to blame it on the white man.

Then it goes deeper.

Religious and

ideological.

And they are blamed for all of society's ills.

Then you merge the power centers.

You bring the business, the tech, the military, and it all starts to work as one for centralized control.

Read the book, The Great Reset.

These are not left or right tactics.

These are authoritarian tactics.

And as I said last hour, Stu and I are watching for these tactics.

We know they can come from the right at any time.

We know that Donald Trump is walking a very dangerous line.

I don't know how else he should walk it, but the minute he crosses a line, God forbid, I'm going to be on the air saying, That's not good.

That's got to stop.

That's unconstitutional.

Do you hear that from the other side when Biden was doing these things?

No.

All they're doing is calling somebody a Nazi.

They don't actually care about freedom or democracy.

They're calling somebody a Nazi without self-examination.

You must examine yourself.

We are all susceptible to this.

Now listen to this.

I'm going to take a quick break and then I want to come back with the audio.

of the Speaker of the House this weekend.

The Speaker of the House came out and he said,

you know, look, here's what's happening on the left.

And you might have heard it before somewhere, but listen to it when we come back and we'll continue our definition words should be redefined or made sure that we understand the definition in just a second.

First, burn up.

You know, the tools that earn a permanent place in your life are the fire extinguisher under the sink, the spare tire in the trunk, first aid kit sits, you know, in your closet or your bathroom, wherever.

You know, you buy them and they're there when the unexpected shows up.

The Berna Compact Launcher belongs in that same category.

It is non-lethal, well-engineered option that preserves life while creating space to think, to move, to protect, and it fires pepper-based projectiles that hit hard enough to stop an aggressor long enough for you to get away.

The Compact launcher is really light.

It is simple.

It is built for concealment.

They're legal in all 50 states.

No permit is required.

If you're the kind of person who plans ahead, flashlights with batteries, et cetera, et cetera,

well, the family that knows plans ahead on other things too, including your own safety.

And the Burna Compact is for you.

Make it part of your household

because

you are prepared and it's not paranoia.

It's courtesy to the people that you love.

The Burna Compact Launcher.

It's between the layer of what if and we're okay.

Go to burna.com slash glenn and learn more.

That's burna.com slash glenn.

Go there now or try before you buy at sportsman's warehouse.

You'll find a location near you at burna.com slash glenn 10 seconds station id

So I want you to I want you to listen to something.

See if you've heard this before.

Here is our Speaker of the House on Friday.

Listen.

They're going to descend on our capital for their much anticipated so-called No Kings rally.

We refer to it by its more accurate description, the Hate America rally.

Okay.

And I'm not sure how anybody can refute that.

If you think about what's going to happen here tomorrow,

you're going to bring together the Marxists, the socialists, the Antifa advocates, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far-left Democrat Party.

That is the modern Democratic Party.

That's where they've gone.

And And they stopped.

Did you hear this?

Have you heard that before?

Listen to this.

I put this up and said, radicals, Islamists, communists, and socialists will work together against Israel, against capitalism, and work together to overturn stability.

There are radicals.

This is, it's finally being,

finally, the government has caught up.

But notice what he said.

I was saying they're going to work together.

He is saying they have become the Democratic Party.

And I believe that is true.

What people had a problem with back then was anarchists, I mean, they don't, you know, they don't want a state government.

They don't want hierarchies or centralized authority.

How could they possibly communists?

They're going to work with the anarchists.

They want absolute state control over every aspect of life.

Islamists, you throw them in, they want theocratic rule.

They want Sharia law.

Yeah, yeah.

I know it was for the simple-minded back then, couldn't understand it, but I think you do.

Why do they work together?

Because they all share one immediate goal, and that is destroy the existing order.

I did a monologue on hour number one of today's podcast.

I urge you to go back and listen to it.

Why is this being funded by billionaires?

For the same reason, destroy the existing order.

All of them think they will win in the end, okay?

They know they can't achieve their utopia without first tearing down the system that they hate, capitalism, constitution, Western civilization, whatever it is.

And once the system is down, that's when real chaos begins.

That's when they turn on each other.

But in the meantime, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

So how do you measure?

Are we moving towards tyranny or not?

Yeah, first thing, forget the labels.

Okay.

Are constitutional norms being eroded or bypassed?

Do you even know what those constitutional norms are?

Are voices being silenced?

Is my side saying yes, we should silence voices?

Is it being done by the state and or by private actors working hand in glove with the state?

If so, you have a sign of fascism.

Are businesses punished for political beliefs?

Is a bank saying you can't do business with us because of your political belief?

If so, you're on the road to fascism.

Are loans being denied by ideology?

Are laws enforced against political enemies, but ignored for political allies?

That's a big one for both sides.

Are public-private partnerships being weaponized to shape behavior or restrict liberty?

If the answer is yes, even if people are saying we're doing it for your own safety or for equity or for democracy, Liberty is in danger.

When they're enforcing the law, like arresting drug traffickers or gang members or those who people who are entering the country illegally, that's not fascism.

It's what sovereign nations do to remain free.

What is fascism is when the government decides which laws to enforce based on politics or race, when it punishes thought, when it merges with corporate power to control the people.

That's also

what authoritarians do.

When you say no king, what does that even mean?

No king.

I bet they can't even tell you what that means.

Well, I mean, somebody's going against constitution.

King doesn't care about a constitution.

The king is appointed by God.

And so he has complete control of the land, of the dukes and the earls.

He hands out favors.

He makes all of the decisions.

That's what a king is.

I'm sorry.

Donald Trump does not fit authoritarian.

He does not fit fascist.

He does not fit Islamist or communist.

And he doesn't fit king.

So

what is your side doing again?

This is Glenn Beck.

Remember that day when your dad taught you the really important things like how to clean out your gutters?

He handed you a ladder, a rusty scoop, scoop, and said, this is how you become a man.

And you believed him until you spent three hours up there scooping out swamp mud and angry frogs while he watched football.

Some family traditions are worth keeping.

That one not so much.

Leaf Filter is the smart way to end the cycle.

Their micro-mesh system keeps the leaves and the needles and the gunk out of your gutters.

And it does it permanently.

So, there's one thing that we're watching this week that you should be aware of.

There is something very big happening in China, and it may be in our favor.

We're not sure yet.

But the big Communist Party, you remember when the Communist Party meets in that big, huge room, the whole Politburo comes in, and they're all like, Oh, we just love our dictator, and everybody's applauding.

And last time this happened, Z came in and appointed himself dictator for life or premier for life, and the former president was sitting right next to him.

And all of a sudden, the guards came and took him away.

And it's like

Z, and nobody said anything.

Nobody even looked at the guy.

Okay.

That meeting is coming up again on Thursday.

Over the weekend,

three or four, I think, of the leading military guys who are all the biggest Z supporters in the military were taken out.

They lost their jobs, to put it to the nicest of ways.

I don't know if they've been seen since, but they're no longer in their positions.

And it makes no sense that Z would do this because he needs his big supporters in the military.

Also, something that just happened, apparently one of the chief negotiators, the one who's really been the hardliner with Trump and the tariffs and everything else, he also has just been removed.

Now, we don't know who's replacing these people, and I don't have any idea who might be in the wings.

He might be worse than Z, but they're saying that Z is, there's a possibility that Z is out on Thursday, and they soften things, which might be okay for us.

Or they're saying, and they don't think this is true because of who's being removed.

Somebody else is removing them, not Z.

It makes no sense that he would be removing these people because they are his biggest supporters.

That

if Z can, he'll assert control over China unlike anybody's done since Mao.

And that's supposed to happen on Thursday, so we'll keep our eye out on that.

And of course, the government shutdown still continues to throw people out on the streets.

It does?

Well, I haven't seen any coverage on that.

You know, I haven't seen any either.

That's weird.

It's weird because how many times, how many of these have we been through, Glenn, over the years?

An uncountable amount.

Oh, and before they even start, they are at the food banks going, there's not enough food in the food bank.

Yeah.

You know, these people are going to be starving within, you know, two days.

If you happen to have a fetish for single moms, great way to find them.

Watch the shutdown coverage.

They'll always find.

new single moms in your area that are about to have their economies crushed because of this oncoming government shutdown every single time except this time this one well i know i saw i haven't met anyone yet i have i listened to the new york times last week okay uh and they were talking about how much they love the military and how

it is and how concerned they are for all of these military moms who are now struggling to make ends meet um even though um the president paid the military and the the republicans continue to keep presenting a bill that says pay the military right we can argue about everything else.

You've got to keep national defense going, pay the military, and they won't do it.

Democrats keep rejecting this over and over and over again.

And that kind of leads me to my thesis here, Glenn.

Tell me if you think there's anything to it, which is the reason we haven't met any of the sob stories that we always meet during government shutdowns is because this one, the quote-unquote Democrats are responsible for it.

Normally, they blame the Republicans for it.

This time, it's almost impossible to come up with a coherent argument to make that happen.

So, may I express this a different way?

Sure.

The mainstream media is just a propaganda organ for the Democratic Party?

Oh, yes.

Maybe that's it.

It could be.

Maybe that is it.

Because I'm fascinated by that.

Because I've always found that to be kind of silly, right?

Like, you can always find individual people who are going through a tough time based on any policy.

You close it for three days.

It's not been.

Isn't this the longest shutdown in history, I think?

Not yet, no.

But it is.

I mean, let's see if I'm.

Since when?

Since when?

I've not seen one go this long.

There's one in Trump's administration, first administration, was 35 days, I believe,

which was the record.

The longest record was 35 days.

Kalshi has a market on this to see, which is interesting.

55% chance it goes over 35 days.

Oh,

I think he could go through Christmas.

Well, it's hard to

think it's Christmas.

I mean, the Democrats are

as long as the Democrats will not negotiate, I mean, the Republicans keep saying, okay, look, we'll fund it and let's just go, but we're not adding new stuff and we're not cutting laws that were just passed.

You know what I mean?

So we'll, we'll just fund this and let's continue to work it out.

They won't even do that.

It's like Friday, I think, was the 12th vote that they had held.

And Democrats are just like, nope.

Doesn't matter.

And they're promising votes on their stupid health care requests.

Like they're trying to give things.

Yeah.

We'll give you the vote on health care.

What will stop this, though, right?

The only thing that stops these things are perceived political consequences.

And so right now, what you have is a situation where in theory, like in theory, they could maybe the American people decide it's the Republicans' fault.

It's Trump's fault.

But Trump is not.

typically like a guy who folds to that type of pressure.

At times he will give to his own side.

Like, you know, he said stuff like, oh, well, you take the guns first and then we'll have the trials.

And like

the people, the Second Amendment people were like, oh, no, that's not the right order there.

And to his credit, he listened to his

constituents and sort of changed on that.

We've seen situations like that.

Very rarely, though, do you see, hey, the media is complaining a lot about Donald Trump.

He's going to change what he's saying.

If anything, it makes him double and triple down on it.

I think that they wanted to have the no kings.

Remember, they kept saying all week we were going to get to the no kings.

We're going to get to the no kings.

nobody was talking about the government shutdown of the no kings thing that wasn't the point of the no kings thing right it wasn't being covered

the the democrats got no gain out of that no no and and that's the other side of this which is typically the way this might work is Democrats start this over a policy concern like Republicans have done this they've started a shutdown over a policy concern and at some point when it doesn't seem like the policy concern is going to be resolved they start feeling pressure that they were the ones that are holding the government closed.

They start feeling the public pressure and they fold.

That's usually what Republicans wind up doing in these situations.

The issue here, though, is: number one, they're not getting any pressure from the media.

That's not being built at all.

So there's no pressure against the Democrats to actually fold on this issue.

The only pressure that exists for the Democrats is to hold the line.

Because what they're getting is pressure from their left flank saying, hey, you guys better not give in to to Donald Trump.

So

the length of this shutdown seemingly could be a very long, long period because really the only crack you're seeing right now are, I will say, some on the right who are saying, actually, we should give a bunch of subsidies for Obamacare.

There are some on the right doing that.

And that, I think, the only crack we've seen on either side so far.

I would really like to see in this time somebody in the Republican side making the case about Obamacare and freeing up the medical system.

Yeah.

I'm not so much of that at all.

Why do they not have another plan?

This is the time.

This is the time.

No, I shouldn't say.

Every day since 2009 has been the time to have this plan.

And they just, they never do it.

They've had

pieces of stuff.

But that's not even what their desire is.

And I know that.

I talked to Dr.

Oz.

I mean, I know, I know.

It's a very strange sentence, but go ahead.

I know.

Talk to Dr.

Oz.

And, you know, I know at HHS, they are working on plans to dismantle a lot of this stuff and put the free market back in charge.

But they're doing it at the state level.

I got to have him back on because, I mean, nobody paid attention to this.

I had an interview with him and just everybody paid attention to some other thing he was talking about.

Oh, the

jab and why we would, you know, why we would partner with,

what was it, Moderna or whoever here recently, recently, you know, for the drugs or Pfizer for the drug discount?

Everybody paid attention to that.

In that same interview, he was talking about going to the states and tying their money,

their government funding for Medicaid and Medicare,

tying that directly to

ending this hostage situation.

with

no insurance over state lines.

Once they allow

the whole country and insurance companies to offer plans over the whole country, the dynamics change entirely.

The financial incentives, the payouts, everything changes.

And that's supposed to be happening in the next 30, 40 days, and we'd see it over the next year.

I would love to see them start to come up with new plans.

Why is that face?

You have this face.

Looking at me.

I'm listening to you, but also looking at just something something I'm noticing on

these markets for how long the shutdown will last.

So it has been, like, I'm looking at over 40 days, for example.

It has been a slow and steady rise.

Like at the beginning, it was 10% chance to go over 40 days.

Slow and steady rise all the way up to a 55%,

57% chance as of

five hours ago.

In the last five hours, it's dropped from 57 to 38.

Now,

famously, people, there's a lot of people out in these markets, a lot of people who know a lot about these things in these markets.

We saw a

we've seen many things happen.

Like, who's going to play at the, you know, who's going to play,

who is going to win the Nobel Prize?

Was one of them.

Person who was like not barely even listed at like 1%

suddenly in the last few hours, just kind of shot up.

Like somebody who knows something was in there buying, buying, buying, buying, buying.

All of a sudden, multiple of these markets

more than 35 days has also dropped from

70%

as of

five hours ago.

I am not seeing

anything in the news

at all.

So that's inside information.

It could be.

It could just be somebody guessing.

But I mean, that's a big bet to guess.

There's, you know, these markets have

decent liquidity.

Kind of interesting, Glenn.

I don't know.

That's uh

it could be absolutely nothing, but like this market has had over $13 million bet on it.

Um, and you know, how long these things go.

So to move them

sometimes can be a lot of money.

Yes, it depends.

The other thing, what is gold?

Is it still at 43.25 today?

What it was this morning.

I mean, that is just, that should take people.

43.63.

43.63.

I mean, you want to talk about a chart that is consistent.

I mean, it's consistent up movement from the beginning of 2024 till today, but really, you know, rocket ship up in the last three months.

This is the world saying

things are changing.

That's the thing you have to take from that is the world is saying the financial center will not hold

as far as the way we have set up the entire world, with America being the

big mover and shaker,

when

Biden went in and said, we're going to take all these assets from Russia, he violated that system.

We're no longer going to let them use the SWIFT system.

All of that began this unraveling.

Something is happening.

This is big money saying something big is coming, and I want to be prepared for it.

And it's disturbing.

You should keep your eye on gold.

That is a disturbing sign of instability.

I can't at this point go any further than that.

And I hope that it slows down or stops or reverses itself.

We do not want $5,000 gold.

You know, and there, I mean, Goldman Sachs came out, I think, last week, $6,000.

Was it $6,000 or $7,000 gold in the next year?

Not good.

All right, back in just a second.

Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

There is a point in your life when you realize how many little things you used to take for granted, tossing a ball with your kid, climbing a ladder without thinking about it, or even just sitting down without shifting to find the least bad position.

You don't notice those moments when they leave.

You notice when they come back.

That's what people talk about when they talk about Relief Factor.

They talk about the laughs returning, the projects, the simultaneous, sure, I'll help moments that make you feel useful and alive again.

Because when you're living in a world of pain, the world gets smaller.

You'll say, maybe later,

I can't today, more than you want to.

But when Relief Factor helps your body fight that inflammation, you start moving freely again, the world opens back up.

Relief Factor, it doesn't just give you something new.

It gives you back something old, something your body always had, and that is a working body.

freedom.

So when you get that back, you'll just feel better and you'll feel like your life is the same again.

You'll feel like you again.

This is Glenn Beck.

Welcome to the Glen Beck store, Glenbeck program.

We have in the

Glenbeck.com store today, we have all new No Kings But Christ merchandise.

We have hats and mugs, and

it's a great, great t-shirt that shows what you believe.

I mean, they may say no kings, but I mean it.

And this is an old colonial symbol,

something that our founders, you know, would have seen at the time around by some, worn by some, no kings but Christ, the skull and crossbones

with a crown floating above the head, meaning that all kings are mortal except for one.

And we don't answer to a mortal king.

We answer to Christ.

You can get the merch now at Glennbeck.com.

Look for it on the front page.

I saw a few people not understanding the imagery associated with the slogan.

Yeah, it's

yeah, I hear that.

Because they don't know the history, right?

They don't know the history.

The history is all kings are mortal except for one.

And that's why the crown is not on the head of the skull.

It floats above the skull because the crown belongs to Christ and Christ alone.

And this was like widely used at the time of the founding.

Yeah, at the time of the founding.

And so it's a way for you to connect with the founding, the founders,

the protests.

You're basically saying that if you don't like the shirt, you don't like America?

Is that basically what you're the basic truth?

This goes that far.

I would say you're more of a fascist communist.

Okay.

Okay.

You know what I mean?

That makes sense.

That just hates all things good.

Okay, good.

Okay.

You find it now available all kinds of different sizes:

hats, t-shirts,

sweaters, you know, I mean, hoodies, everything you need at Glennbeck.com.

This is Glenn Beck.
