This is

the Glenbeck Program.

Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.
Well, it's been a week off, and a lot has happened.

We're going to start with what's happening with the Afghani refugees, what's happening in Minnesota, Venezuela,

all of that coming up in just a second. First, let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

This time of year, we talk a lot about giving, about reaching out, lifting up, and standing with people who are still struggling long after the headlines move on.

And right now in Israel, there are thousands of Jewish families who are still feeling the aftershocks of war.

Homes have been destroyed, communities shattered, and entire neighborhoods are trying to rebuild while living with the kind of trauma most of us can't even imagine.

I've seen what the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews does on the ground, and it's real, immediate, life-changing help.

They are providing emergency food boxes, hot meals, medical aids, winter support, and safe shelter for families who lost everything.

They're caring for Holocaust survivors who can't evacuate on their own and children who are still sleeping in safe rooms because the fear hasn't fully left them.

One gift, one act of generosity can put food on the table, heat in a home, and hope back into a family that's been living with uncertainty far too long.

Rush your gift now at 888-488-IFCJ, 888-488-4325 or give online at glennforthefellowship.org. That's glenforthefellowship.org.
Do it now.

So we clearly have a problem with some of the people that have been airlifted into the United States.

And I want to clarify a couple of things because we airlifted people. You did.
With your support, we did it at Mercury One.

And I want to make sure you understand what happened there and where our people that we airlifted, where they are.

But first, let me say this.

What we're experiencing now here is a story that almost no one in Washington wants to say out loud. And it begins with a people, but

it begins with the people that are responsible for failure. And

that's our leadership here in America. A failure of honesty, a failure of courage the whole time.

When Cabalf

fell back in 2021,

we rushed in to do what Americans always do, and that's help people out. We run to save.
We ran to keep our word.

And God bless every soldier and airman and Marine and volunteer who risk everything to rescue the men and women who stood with us for 20 long years.

But here's the part that nobody prints.

We didn't just evacuate our allies.

We did.

But the United States government evacuated anyone they could grab. In the chaos, because chaos is the oldest enemy of truth, we opened up floodgates.

Tens of thousands of people we didn't know, nobody really vetted, nobody could verify, nobody could fully account for. Even today, we don't know where they are.
And that's not xenophobia.

That's not fear mongering. That's the Department of Homeland Security's own inspector general saying that.
Quote, we don't know who many of these people are, end quote.

This is something that while we were doing it, we said, our vetting is much better than the United States of America. They're bringing in people.
We don't know who they are.

Now, think of the weight of the sentence. Came from the inspector general.
We don't know who many of these individuals are.

Think about the histories of nations who forgot the simple duty of understanding who they bring inside the gates. When that happens, the country is over.
Rome did it. The Byzantine Empire did it.

Europe did it before the migrant crisis. And now in 2021, we did it as well.
And we knew this. We've been talking about it on this program forever.

Now inside of our temporary bases, Fort McCoy, Fort Bliss, Quantico, even our own FBI and military police documented things that the media just dusted off. Ah, don't worry about it.

We showed you at the time sexual assaults that were happening in these temporary bases. Sexual assaults, domestic abuse, attempted strangulation.
U.S. service women harassed and followed into showers.

Did we do anything about it? These weren't rumors.

These were not internet stories.

They were actual federal charges. Did anybody say anything about them?

Meanwhile, police departments, Virginia, California, California, Texas, places with the largest Afghani arrivals, began reporting the same exact pattern: domestic violence, forced marriage concerns, child protection cases, cultural classes.

And our law enforcement had to deal with them. And did anybody in the media say anything about it? Nope.

Why? You were a bigoted if you said anything about it.

Here's what happened:

our government took a lot of people from a tribal system.

Patriarchal, war-torn,

no skills.

Imagine going from Afghanistan to Chicago.

How do you survive in that? How do you survive in that? Now, that's not the fault of the families.

That's the fault of our federal government, a government that just threw them and us into a social experiment overnight without even thinking about it, talking about it, just just saying, accept it.

Some of the people that are paroled into the United States had ties to the Taliban, ISIS-K,

or another,

or several other

terrorist organizations. That's not speculation.
That has been confirmed by our own DOD, DHS, and congressional testimony. We've known this for a very long time.

You know, when the Pentagon warns you that, you know, that person probably shouldn't be in the United States. I don't know, maybe we should listen to them.

And maybe we should be concerned about a DHS or a State Department that waves them in anyway. That's not compassion.
That's dereliction of duty. Period.

Period.

Now,

add to this the humanitarian parole system meant for rare, urgent cases.

It was a revolving door.

Where are all these refugees from? I'm not talking about the Afghanis.

I'm talking about all the other people that have gone to Europe, that have gone to the United States, that are swamping countries in the West. Where are they coming from?

Really? There's that big. This is a bigger refugee problem than we had in World War II.

How's that possible?

We can't confirm anybody has identity. Doesn't seem that we care.
Asylum, family reunification requests exploded. Some valid.

Some of them unprovable.

Some of them just out and out lies that we knew were lies.

So what happened? Our cities become strained. Our cities go into disorder.
They start stealing from us. Look at Minneapolis.

Here's the biggest strain. The biggest strain on us is the truth, honesty.

It takes courage to say what actually happened,

but

we're not living in a time of courage. We're living in a time when people saying the truth, you know, you get, you acknowledge reality and you get labeled.
You notice patterns.

Oh my gosh, you're silenced. You ask responsible questions.
You're accused of bigotry.

Truth doesn't care about the labels. It just sits sits there.
It just waits for somebody to show up and go,

you know, that's the truth. I'm going to have to say it.

So let's say it. Here's the truth.
America owes a sacred debt to anybody we promised. Anybody who was fighting with them, we should protect them.
We should honor them. We should welcome them.

But that's not what happened. That's not what happened.
We didn't perform a moral rescue as a government. We performed a political evacuation and I was there, so I know it.

You know, somebody posted a kind of a snarky

tweet at me because I spoke at our gala here a couple of weeks ago and I talked about what the State Department was doing.

And I said, you know, it's time America really understands how evil the State Department was during that evacuation.

Our people were vetted, and we didn't bring people into the United States. We brought people to the UAE.

A lot of our people went to

Australia. A lot of people, and I said, sat on the tarmac forever, forever,

because the State Department was shutting down and saying, we can't verify any of these people. We could verify who these people were.
We knew who these people were.

Most of the people that we brought out, We could show you their baptismal certificate because that was part of our vetting. Are you a Christian?

Really? When were you baptized? Who baptized you? What church did you belong to? Because we knew you were under the gun. Now, if you were like, yeah, I was just baptized three weeks ago.

You didn't get onto one of our planes unless the State Department insisted that you get onto one of our planes. Because that's what I was saying in that video that this person just reposted.

I was saying in the video, Do you know the compromises that they forced us to take? You want to save these Christians? You have to save these people. You got to put these people on first.

We don't know who those people are.

I don't know who those people are. And those were the ones that came to America.

We gambled with the future of these Afghani families because we just threw them in. Just throw them in.
They're going to be fine.

We threw them into a system not based on reality of any sort.

We threw them in without vetting them.

Meanwhile, we would not take the Christians. Hmm.

I want you to know, we should not be attacking anybody, except honestly, condemning our government, because it refuses to tell the truth on what it did and what it failed to do.

The mark of a nation that is in decline isn't isn't who it lets lets in.

A mark of a nation in decline is whether it can confess, it can admit to its own mistakes, talk about the truth and the consequences. And today, Congress is whispering, the media is hiding.
I mean,

did you read any of the stories? Hopefully you didn't. Hopefully you just had a great time on vacation and for the holiday.
But I did. My team did.
Did you read the stuff from the New York Times?

They still can't admit the truth. They don't even know what the truth is.

Still, I'm still here waiting for the courage of any adult to stand up.

A great nation can welcome the stranger, but a dying nation loses the wisdom to ask, who is this stranger? And

that gate we passed long ago.

The question is, do you want to be a dying nation or not? I don't. I don't.
We can't afford to be a dying nation. The world can't afford us to die.

So, what do we do about it?

Well, the first step is defending your home.

And the first step in defending your home is knowing who's inside your home. And I'm going to show you how we can do that quite easily in just a second.

First, let me tell you, talk, take a quick minute and tell you about realestate agentsitrust.com. When you're looking to buy or sell a home, you're not making just a transaction.

Okay, tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, by the way, the largest single day of global generosity in the entire year.

We have a goal at Mercury One for hurricanes and all kinds of other things that we do of $300,000 to our maximum impact fund.

We'd like to make this the biggest giving Tuesday Mercury One has ever had. The maximum impact fund allows us to move before we have the money.

Because I come on and I say, hey, there's a tornado or whatever. We need to raise the money.
But by the time we can get that money from you into the bank, it's maybe two, three, four days later.

We would like to be there when it actually happens. This gives us the leeway of being able to move.
quickly.

So if you can, if you can give, whether it's $1, $5, whatever you can give, whatever you can give, it gives us at at a moment's notice the ability to move during a crisis.

100% of it, if you don't count the credit card feeds, 100% of it goes downrange, so it goes right directly to what it is you're trying to solve and help people. We don't pull anything off of the top.

That's tomorrow and today. You could give at mercury1.org, mercury1.org.
Give your tax-deductible giving Tuesday gift, mercury1.org. Okay,

so

first things first,

you got to draw a line in the sand. And here's the word that every, it shuts every conversation down.
It's a word wielded, you know, like a club. And it's not to illuminate anything, it's to silence.

And here's the word, Islamophobia.

You say anything about the rising violence in Europe, the honor killings, the grooming gangs, the refugees who are not refugees at all, but sleeper cells, and suddenly you're a bigot.

But this isn't about bigotry. This is the first line we have to cross.
This is about civilization.

So let's draw the line between faith and ideology because Islam is a religion practiced by a billion people.

It contains families that I met, I know, doctors I trust, soldiers who fight beside Americans, millions of peaceful, devout people who just want what you and I want to raise their children in peace.

But Islamism,

an Islamist is not a Muslim. This is something entirely different.

Islamism is not a religion. It is a totalitarian system that wraps itself inside of the language, the way Mark wrapped tyranny with equality.

Hitler wrapped conquest with national destiny. Islamism is communism with a crescent moon.
Islamism is fascism in a mosque. And it has absolutely zero intent of coexisting with the West.

It comes not to blend in, but to rule. And if you doubt me, ask the women in Iran.
If you doubt me, ask the socialists that helped the Islamic revolution in the 1970s.

Ask me what happened to them, because all of them lost their heads. Ask the Christians of Nigeria.

Ask the families in Paris and Berlin and London who are now living under police patrols because their leaders were too afraid to speak plainly.

You know, we love to open our arms. That's fine.
America always does that. But you must, when you open your arms, keep your eyes open as well.

A refugee seeking freedom is a blessing. A refugee seeking a caliphate is a Trojan horse.
And we have every moral right, every moral duty,

to know the difference. It's not about hating anybody.
I don't hate anybody. I hate those who want to destroy us, want to kill my family,

want to enslave me under some sort of a religion. Yeah, I do hate those people.

But this is about loving civilization that gave the world dignity of the individual, the rights of women. Yeah, it was us,

not a caliphate. The protection of minorities, not a caliphate, us.
The freedom to speak and worship or not worship.

If defending those values makes me or you controversial, then wow, controversy is a very small price to pay, don't you think?

I mean, because the alternative is, oh, I don't know, what's happening in Europe?

The alternative is silence.

And silence in history is always the first sign of collapse.

So the first thing we have to do is choose speech, choose truth, choose civilization, and know the difference between a Muslim and an Islamist.

One is political. One is religion.

One hijacks the religion for political purposes. I don't know how, why it's so hard to understand this.
Haven't you seen that happen in our own religions, in our own faith, in our own country?

Of course we have.

We've seen this in history over and over and over and over again.

I mean, how many times have people said, oh, you know, Nazism,

that's Christian? No, it's not. No, it's not.
He hijacked Christianity. He hated Christianity, but he used it.
Absolutely he did. Now,

why can we see that, but we can't see it over here?

Why is it we can't understand that? Why is it when they're throwing gay people off roofs of buildings?

We fail to recognize, oh, you know what? They may not be friendly.

They may not be so open-minded.

When they would kill

transgendered individuals on the streets, Hamas would come out and kill them in the streets.

And you refuse to see it, well, you're just a moron.

You're just a moron.

Choose speech, choose truth, choose civilization. Now, there are ways to do it.

And, you know, right now, with all of the things that are going on with Venezuela and Mark Kelly and his friends, we got to be very, very careful that we don't lose ourselves in trying to

find the bad guys.

So let's go there when we come back.

This is Glenn Beck.

My gosh, Christmas is coming.

And if you're still wondering what to give the people that you love, something useful, something that actually makes their life safer let me point you to the burna launcher i gave this to my whole family every member of my family last year um and it is fantastic it's powerful recoil free non-lethal protection legal in all 50 states my kids because they're all over 18

my kids can carry it i think they should be carried on every college campus personally i think every every

teacher should have one in their purse or in their you know in their hip or in their desk because you can't kill anybody with it, but you can stop a bad guy from coming in.

The Burna Compact is smaller, lighter, easier to handle, and built for situations where seconds matter, and you can carry it and deploy it faster than just about anything else in its class.

Because it uses Burna Signatures chemical irritant rounds, you're stopping a threat at a distance without putting your family in legal jeopardy.

It's great, it feels good in your hand, it is easy to use, it's

Welcome to the Glen Beck program. It's Monday.

We just have

so much to cover today. We're going to get into Venezuela here in just a few minutes.

Also, the economy.

John Rich is going to be coming in. He's got a new song out that's really powerful, really, really good.
We're going to talk to him in a little while as well. Stu is here.
Hi, Stu. How are you?

Glenn, how are you?

Yeah, good. You had a good weekend? I did.
Thanksgiving. I need to stop eating for about a month to recover from it.
But yes, it went well. How about you? Yeah, I think so, too.

Yeah, I had exactly the same. I'm still like reeling just a little bit from all of the food.
But

God bless America. God bless America.

So there was a story

in the New York Times that I just... I find fascinating.
Donald Trump, you know, is

casting suspicion on refugees, according to the New York Times. President Trump claims there are a lot of problems with Afghans without providing any evidence.

I mean, does he have to provide the evidence on that? I mean, it's pretty darn clear that we're having some real problems, especially this weekend. We have three people arrested.

We had two people shot in Washington, D.C. Then we had somebody in Dallas that was caught making bombs.
Same thing, Afghani. And I thought there was a third one as well.

I mean, you know, it's kind of,

you know, it's kind of out there.

But nope, nope.

And then they said he jumped right on the Somali thing, disparaging the Somali community. And,

well, okay. Okay.
Well,

when a reporter pointed out that according to officials, the suspect had worked with the CIA, therefore it would have been vetted, Mr. Trump said he went nuts.
I mean, he went nuts, blah, blah, blah.

Jumping on the subject of the Somali refugees in Minnesota, he said the population was taking over that state, bringing gang violence. Asked what Somalis had to do with the Afghan suspect, Mr.

Trump said nothing, but Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off of a lot of money.
This led him to criticize Representative Elon Omar, blah, blah, blah.

Then he, you know, then they go on and say, well, he just wants to deport everybody. No, no, no, that's not what he's saying.

I mean, is it really that unreasonable to say we want to know who is here? And if you're causing a problem, you shouldn't be here.

I mean, I don't know why that is so controversial today.

I guess maybe because nobody knows how to do it, you know?

Well, he's going to become a tyrant. Well, you don't have to become a tyrant to do that.
I mean, that's the biggest lie that, you know, to defeat a tyrant, you have to become the tyrant.

That's what happens in every revolution, except for the American revolution. And it's wrong.
And it's always been wrong. But, you know, only America really has, you know, gotten that in the past.

But if we fall into that trap again, you know, if we fall into that lie now, then,

you know, an Islamist doesn't have to destroy our Constitution.

We'll do it for them. We'll be done.
So you want to defend the Republic?

What do you say we do it the American way?

I mean, it's really not that hard. We have to defend ourselves, right? But do it constitutionally.
And if we don't do it constitutionally, then isn't everything really, really hollow?

If we do it, George Bush said, I abandoned the free market to save the free market. There's no free market.
And we're seeing that now. Look how free our market is.
Thank you, George Bush.

You can't violate it to save it. It doesn't work that way.

You know, there's some principles that you have to live by. And the first one is security begins with clarity.

Clarity, not cruelty.

The Constitution demands something from us. You have to distinguish between peaceful Muslims Muslims and political Islamists.

We're a safe harbor for the persecuted, but we're not a staging ground for the persecutors. And that's what's happening.
You persecuted have come in along with the persecutors.

So

the question is not how do we remove all these Muslims? That's bigotry. The question is, how do we remove the Islamists?

That's a political movement that rejects our Constitution, our laws, our our civilization, everything else. You judge a person,

this is going to be crazy in today's world, not by their identity, but the content of their character, meaning their actions.

This is the foundation of every constitutional tool we possess.

The next principle,

we have the existing law. We don't need more laws to enforce it.
Okay, we got them. We don't need new powers.
We don't need new surveillance. You know, we don't need to shred the Bill of Rights.

Everything we need already written black and white on paper.

Material support for terrorism, illegal affiliation with designated foreign extremist groups, illegal advocacy of political violence, not protected speech,

immigration, visa fraud, felonies, foreign funding of domestic political movements,

prohibited charity funds, money laundering, encrypted remittances.

All of this stuff can be prosecuted. Calling for the overthrow of the Constitution? I don't know.
Deportable if

you're a non-citizen.

We don't need any new laws. We just need to watch the actions and go, yep, you out.

We need courage

of the people. And this is not going to happen in Minnesota.
You need courage from the politicians who are in charge. Use the laws you already have.

The third principle is the First Amendment protects religion.

Religion, not political tyranny masquerading as religion.

The Constitution says Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Beautiful, sacred, essential.

Except the same Constitution says no one has the right to impose religious law on others. No one has the right to incite violence.
No one has the right to overthrow the republic.

Islamism is not a religion. That's political

using religious symbols. You know, if you want to say the Ku Klux Klan is Christian, you can go ahead and say it all you want.
But Christians know, Ku Klux Klan is not Christian.

Only non-Christians think that that's Christian. People who hate Christianity.

The same thing with Islamism.

If you're an Islamist, you're not a Muslim.

And And you know who knows that? Actual Muslims.

First Amendment protects your right to worship. It doesn't protect your right to destroy the rights of others.
And that distinction is constitutional gold. Why aren't we enforcing that?

Why are we afraid to say that out loud? Why won't anybody say it to each other? Why are you afraid to say this?

How about this one, the fourth principle? Deportation is legal.

Deportation is moral. Deportation is necessary as a tool.
We are generous. Our record is very, very clear.
There's never been a more generous country than the United States.

But generosity is not suicide.

If a non-citizen praises jihad, supports Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, Islamic Jihad, advocates for Sharia law, lies on their immigration forms, I don't know, marries their brother, launders money to foreign terror groups, attends foreign-funded mosques tied to extremist networks, rejects the Constitution, or publicly calls for violence.

I don't know. I don't need a single new law.
That person has forfeited the privilege of being a citizen and remaining here. It's not a punishment.
It's not a punishment. That's self-defense.

Why is it we won't stand up for our own way of life and our own children?

Immigration is not a right. I know they're trying to make it that.
There are no borders. Yes, there are borders.
There are. Citizenship is not a right.

Constitutional order is a right.

And that right we have to defend.

Thank God we're already doing one of these things, the fifth principle. We're looking at the money river.

Damn the money rivers.

No Islamist movement grows without Qatari funding, Turkish political machinery, Iranian Revolutionary Guard money, Muslim Brotherhood, NGO fronts, charity fraud, shadow remittances, crypto transfers.

Cut the financing and you'll starve the beast.

This is not profiling. This is called forensic accounting.

And this is exactly how we brought down the mafia,

MS-13, the ISIS network, cartel pipelines. That's how you do it.
You follow the money and the Constitution, and everything seems to work out.

But everybody is concentrating on force, force, force. He's going to use force.
He's going to use force. Why?

The strongest weapon we have is not force.

It's the alliance that we have with everyone who fled here

because they were getting away from the ideology we're now saying we should fight.

The Muslim reformers, the Iranian dissidents, the Yazidis, the Coptic Christians, the Lebanese Democrats, the Kurds, the moderate Muslims.

These are the people that Islamists fear most because they expose the lie. They know.
They were there. When they stand beside us, and they're begging to, by the way, the entire narrative collapses.

The word Islamophobia crumbles into dust. Really? You're calling them, really?

The moral high ground is ours again, constitutionally, spiritually, and historically.

The Constitution is a shield.

Why do we refuse to use it?

We should proudly use it as a shield.

Take this one thought with you.

We defend the Constitution not by weakening it, but by applying it fully, fearlessly, and without exception.

That means you can't racial profile, no religious bans, no collective guilt, no compromise on freedom, no surrender of rights.

But it also means this, no tolerance for political movements that seek to destroy the Constitution.

No sanctuary for foreign-funded Islamist networks or any other kind of foreign-funded network that cares to take down the Constitution or destroy America. No free pass for those who advocate tyranny.

No apology for defending our civilization. This is the balance that our founders struck.
That was it.

It seems so easy, but for some reason, we find it so hard.

We either stay

American or we lose everything. I'm going to get to Venezuela here in a second because

that's what they're claiming right now. We're not being American.
We're not following the Constitution. Well, I'd like some evidence of that.

We either claim America

and use our Constitution or we lose everything.

We don't defeat Islamism by becoming the mirror image of the thing we fight. We defeat it by being the thing that the Islamists fear the most.

A nation of free individuals, governed by laws, protected by rights, anchored in moral truths and the rights that come from God.

We become a nation that is unafraid to defend itself. If you do that and you follow the Constitution with courage, then America will be what it always has been.
A refuge for

the oppressed. oppressed, a graveyard for tyrannies,

and the last best hope that a world desperately needs.

Are we too timid? Are we too tired?

The hour is late, and I'm telling you,

you're just seeing, if you paid attention at all to the news this weekend, things are speeding up. I told you a few months ago, we've changed seasons.

It's coming and it's coming fast.

What are you hanging on to? A political party?

A politician? Anger? Vengeance?

What?

I'll hang on to God and I'll hang on to the Constitution. That's the greatest document ever written by the hand of man.

And it's calling on you right now to rise, not as a mob, not as a tribe, but as Americans that know the difference between right and wrong, truth and fiction, and

you'll stand up for it.

Not

without any hatred.

I dismiss you.

You're an Islamophobe. Really, am I? Good for you.

It's cute, but it doesn't work.

Because all I'm asking is to follow the Constitution because I think this country is worth standing up for.

More in a minute.

All right, let me tell you about Simply Safe.

So what is the common sense way to keep your home and your family safe? Is it waiting until somebody is already inside your house? That doesn't sound like common sense to me.

But that's how, you know, many security companies operate. Simply Safe is just the opposite.
Simply Safe stops criminals before they get into your home.

That's common sense. They use the double layer of defense.
First, their AI-powered cameras detect trouble early.

Then, and this is a part I love, they alert the live agents, real people who can speak to the intruders. Hello, you're being watched.
You should leave now because I've already called the police.

And they call the police. Police, you know, if you don't call the police and your alarm just goes off, most likely the police are not going to come because they have too many false alarms.

You've got to call them. No long-term contracts, no hidden fees.

Well,

back from Thanksgiving.

And

it was a good Thanksgiving. It was a good Thanksgiving.
We're very grateful. I learned a couple of things.
I learned you're only as happy as your most unhappy child.

I've heard that a million times, but I really didn't understand that until this Thanksgiving. You're only as happy.

Parenting is a scam, okay? You think it's going to be cute. It's going to be fun.
It's going to be nice. Oh, the kids are coming together and everybody's going to be together for the holidays.

And then...

That thing flies apart at

the drop of a hat and you realize, wow, what my folks said, you're only as happy as your most unhappy child is very, very true. I think we should ban all children.
I think that's the way forward.

It's way to our happiness, I'm sure. This is Glenn Beck.

So the first time I tried the chirp contour, I remember thinking, oh my gosh, I just bought a really, really, really, really, really expensive chair that does this and not as well.

I just, all you do is you put it down. I put it down, I was on it a lot this weekend.
Put it down in the kitchen while we were making food. You lay down on it and it

massages your back and spreads it out and gives relief to your back like you would not believe.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is

the Glenbeck program.

Hello, America. Welcome.
It's Monday.

We shouldn't have to talk about Venezuela, but I think we need to talk about Venezuela because I think that's what the Democrats are, you know, now instructing the military.

You better not follow any of these orders. We're not going to be specific on which orders.

We're just going to tell you that we're going to be in office one day and then you probably go to jail if you follow any of these presidential orders that we're not going to tell you which ones we think are unconstitutional, but we'll decide once we're in power and then you'll be sorry.

Well, that doesn't cause chaos at all. Thank you, Democrats, for doing that.

But let's talk about what's happening in Venezuela because something is going on in Venezuela. President closed the airspace and then he said, don't read anything into that.
Well, hang on.

Somebody should read something into that. I don't know what we're supposed to read, but we'll talk about that with Jason Buttrell here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

Jason Buttrell, welcome. Chief Researcher of the program

also watches foreign affairs for us and military stuff. What the hell is happening in Venezuela?

I think a lot of gamesmanship's happening in Venezuela right now. Closing the

air traffic control or even saying that, or even hinting that they're going to close that, is pretty much just saying that they don't want any of Maduro's people that are going to try and escape out of the country people that are involved of the uh cartel of the suns none of them are going to try and escape and then eventually come back so that they can start the regime back up again i don't think there is any way possible that we're just about to start any kind of land operations uh inside venezuela i could be wrong but i don't think

It would be very unpopular. And I don't, I mean, I think constitutionally they could pull it off.
I think there's ways that they could do that. But I don't think he's,

he doesn't like to do that kind of thing. I don't think he's about to start now.
But I think these negotiations are getting a lot more heated.

I think they're actually starting to bear fruit, which is why some of the threats are getting a lot more vocal.

And I'm telling you, Glenn, we actually could see Maduro step down, be out of the country in a new regime there without us having to do much at all except for striking some of these narco boats coming out of the country.

It could happen, and it would be amazing.

Okay, so let's start with the narco boats because I think that's what the Democrats are now trying to allude to, that, you know, these narco boats, they're not narcos.

They're not running, you know, those are just average fishing people. They have nothing to do with it.
And this is unconstitutional, and we're shooting them even when they try to surrender.

Do we know if any of those allegations are true?

Well, I think that they are pretty dang sure on the intelligence on what, you know, who some of these people are on some of these vessels. If you can remember back, I think

tell us

I think that they that would actually behoove them to give the full story. The American public is a lot more smart, it's a lot more educated on what's going on in a lot of these things.

They're a lot more prone to research on their own and find out for themselves what's actually happening in Venezuela.

We've talked about it a lot with the terrorism sponsorship that happens there between Hezbollah.

A multitude of very scary terrorist individuals have made that kind of their base through Iran, through the entire network. I think that

it makes a whole lot of sense for them just to say, look, this is what's going on. But they decided to go another route.
And

I really don't know. I know that they are very, very justified in what they are doing with a lot of these boats.
And

they've talked about since day one, when they started designating multiple groups, not only in Venezuela, but in Mexico.

I think on day one of President Trump's administration, he designated multiple cartels as terror organizations. And then a couple of more from Venezuela have followed on to that.

So what he've basically done there is no one has declared them enemy combatants.

Okay,

I want to get to the terror organizations here in a second. But first, let's stick with the drug cartels.

Because that's what he's hanging his hat on. And I don't think this is about the drug cartels.
I really don't. I think that that might have been the entry point.
But explain who the,

what is it, the League of the suns or the cartel

of the suns explain that because when you think with cartel of the suns you think you know s-un

sun it's not it's s-o-n-s correct sons sons of whom

no it's actually the opposite it's s-un- it's the cartel of the sunset it is um it's that's right that's right because of the medallion or the exactly the general's stars that's right that's right okay

it's like it's like a nickname explain that

They never actually declared themselves, we are the cartel of the suns. They never really said that.

That was a nickname because so many people, high-level within the military inside Venezuela, were part of this narco-terror group and they were getting kickbacks.

And it was alleged that some of them were actually giving orders specifically all the way down the food chain. But their generals, I think it's maybe Colonel and Up or maybe General and Up.

I think it's General and Up. Instead of stars, they have a little sun insignia.

So like three sons like a three-star general or you know on you know on and so forth that's why they were given that nickname because they are part of this group and they are part of the military now the head of that snake is maduro so he gives the orders down to the generals the generals give the orders down so that's how they were able to classify the entire government in a sense as part of this cartel part of this entire terror group And that is where Glenn, it gets kind of interesting when it looks like constitutionally, what can they pull off?

What can they do as far as military action?

When the head of the snake, who is the head of this cartel, allegedly, is the one giving these orders, then that really kind of frees them up to do whatever they want when it comes to the market.

Right, because

this cartel is a terror cartel. Explain the island and everything else.

Yeah, so the cartel is more involved with, well, it's more involved with drugs, but I say that, but

these groups are absolutely, in the true sense of the definition, terror organizations, the way they operate. Right.
But the terrorists just the way they make their money.

Right. And then, but it goes way beyond that, as you're talking about.
Like there is Margarita Island.

There's an island just off the coast of Venezuela where Iran sends people to train there, to be stationed there.

The

Venezuelans come down from groups like Trendiagra and others to train there, sometimes going from Margarita Island all the way back to Iran to get more specialized training. Then they come back.

who knows where they go from there possibly in the united states who knows they've held meetings secret meetings inside venezuela with the top scariest of the scariest scariest uh terrorists uh to meet with chavez and then who knows later

potentially even maduro this is a terror hub this is also a terror hub that is in that

which i just described is working with iran but also russia russia sends uh submarines to um to guard. They did this back in 2018 to show support, military support for Maduro.

China

is funding a lot of their stuff through oil. Russia is sending tankers to transport Chinese

Venezuelan oil to China. Glenn, it's all part of the network.

And as you're talking about, this goes way beyond, way beyond anything where you just talk about narco groups coming from Venezuela to the United States. It is so much more integrated into that.

And I agree with you. I think the Trump administration just lay it all out on the table, say, this is what's going on.

Congress wouldn't really even be able to talk, you know, the Democrats. They wouldn't even really be able to

counter any of it. It would be so obvious.
They should just do it.

Help me out on

the story that came out this weekend that said that Russia and China are kind of laying low here. What does that tell you?

It tells you a lot. For one, Russia's got a multitude of problems that they're dealing with.
They can't really lend support. They don't have it.

They don't even have the military power to complete what they want to complete within Ukraine. Plus, they're trying to make moves towards this peace agreement.

Putin wants a way out of this war just as much as Zelensky does. Both sides want it.
Now the question is, how do they do it?

And both make it look like to their own people that they're the ones that won the war and won the negotiation?

So, I mean, everything that's been coming out with the Ukrainian peace deal, I see this as just regular negotiations.

This is, it's getting leaked, and you're going to see a lot more of this as it goes on. But the important thing there is that they're actually working towards it.

And China, China as well, has got their own problems. Most of it trade.
They're not going to screw with Trump.

That was very obvious when they tried to pull out their last minute, oh, we're borrowing all rare earth elements elements, you know, from everyone else. And then Trump said, oh, I don't think so.

And then made them pull back. So they don't want to screw with

the Trump administration right now either. So they're going very hands off.
So, I mean, to me, it looks like a masterclass from the Trump administration.

They're doing everything that they're supposed to do.

And it's all going in the direction their kind of grand design for where they want this to go, which is kind of like a rebirth of the Monroe Doctrine, if you really think about it.

They're ejecting all foreign influence.

The most worst of our adversaries that are out there that are just embedded in South America, they're dealing with that, which hasn't, we haven't been able to say that for how long, Glenn?

A long time. And it's going that direction.
I know.

Okay, so

let me go to

the next

piece, which is he's just banned

air travel

and said the skies are off limits for everybody. You say that's to stop anybody from escaping.
Maduro was just presented with a, hey, you should get out now while you can.

And Maduro said, I want amnesty for me and my family for any crimes.

And I want to retain control of the military. I would imagine that Trump might have said, might have said yes to the amnesty thing, but you're not controlling the military after.

No, that doesn't go to you.

Do you think Maduro is close to caving here? And if so, where does he go?

Yeah, I think he's very close to caving. He's probably going to go to Russia or China, I would assume, one of those two countries.
And he's got quite the nest egg.

You can look up all the family members from either Maduro, Chavez going on. I mean, they're multi-millionaires, a lot of these kids and spouses and girlfriends.

Is that possible? He was a bus driver. I know, right? Like, socialism is neat, kids.
Socialism is neat.

But yeah,

I think amnesty is probably the top of his list. And

I'm sure that that would probably be offered up and given in some form.

Retaining power of the military is not on the table at all because what he'll end up doing is he'll go away for five years, he'll come back, or he'll pick a successor that will then take control of the Venezuelan military, and they'll just rinse and repeat and retake back control of the entire country.

So that is not going to happen. But his feet are definitely to the fire right now if they're even at the point of negotiating this part of the deal.

So that's why I think that it's very, very possible that we see something amazing on this front very, very soon. Oh, that'd be great.
All right. Let me let me switch topics kind of to Mark Kelly.

I want to play something. I want to take a one-minute break and come back and get, as a military guy, what your thoughts are.
This is what Mark Kelly...

He again, this weekend, encouraging military to defy the orders of the president. Listen to this.
Cutwater.

People can tell the difference, should be able to tell the difference between something that is unlawful and something that is lawful. And if I was ever given an unlawful order, I would refuse.

I would, you know, if you have time, you can certainly go to the judge, advocate, generals, the lawyers, and have a discussion about it.

If you don't have time, you just say simply, I'm not going to do that. That's against the law.
It puts a lot of burden on the troops to make a decision in real time.

It puts a tremendous amount of burden on officers in the military, but that is their responsibility and they can figure out.

You know, a reasonable person can tell something that is legal and something that is illegal.

This is such dangerous territory, and I'd love to get your opinion on that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about pre-born every year around Christmas.

We talk about miracles, ones we read about, the ones we remember from childhood, the ones we hope will show up again when life feels a little heavy.

But sometimes the most powerful miracles are quiet, ordinary ones that happen in places we never, ever see. Right now, in clinics all across America, pre-born is creating those moments.

This morning, a young woman is going to walk in and think she only has one option, abortion. She's overwhelmed.
She's afraid. She's certain that her story couldn't possibly have a good ending.

And then she's offered a free ultrasound, and she sees her baby, hears the heartbeat, life she didn't expect. future she thought was impossible.

And now in that instant, everything changes, but she still feels alone, has nowhere to turn. Well, that's where pre-born comes in a second time.

They serve the mom and the baby, because when moms see and hear that ultrasound, that's a sacred moment. And then they help her.

They help her with everything she might need for the first two years of life of that baby. For $28, you can save a life.
$28. It could change the world.
That one child. Donate, doll, pound250.

Say the keyword baby. That's pound250 keyword baby or donate securely at preborn.com slash beck.
That's preborn.com slash beck sponsored by pre-born. 10 seconds.

All righty.

So

Jason.

If they thought that something was going on, they should just say it.

And they've come out and said, they've had reporters ask, well is this because we've heard rumors that he was you know he ordered people to be killed even as they were surrendering and if that's true that is against the law that's not something we do we don't do that

but there's no evidence of that there's just it's their word and I think

you know again if that's true they should say that And they should present evidence. But what I think they're doing is they're saying these things and putting the soldiers in an impossible situation.

What they're really saying is, you know, we're going to get in and when we have control of Congress, we're going after all of you. You've followed what Donald Trump wants to do.

We'll tell you what's legal and not and what's not legal. You should define it now.
But this way they don't have to. They can just use scare tactics.
Is that too

cynical?

No, the United States soldier does not need your opinion on this,

Mr. Kelly.
They do not need your opinion on this. They know exactly what a lawful order is.
And there are procedures that they are trained on on how to go through

saying, you know, to go through the proper channels to address something like that. What I see this as being is

a political

party

in whole that are experiencing something they're not used to. They're not used to having extreme partisans

and political yes men at the top of the military food chain, people like Lloyd Austin.

They want someone like him back. They want someone like Mark Milley back, which I'm, I, I, it's great that you're suddenly worried about some of these guys are suddenly worried about the military.

Where were you when Mark Milley was calling his counterpart in China without orders from the president? Uh, behind his back. Where were you on that?

So what that says to me here is that you are more concerned about orders not lawful, but which you can claim that are going to be lawful, and that you can have a yes man there that will say that they are lawful, but you don't have that anymore.

And it terrifies you. That's what they are concerned about right here.
But the soldier doesn't need your soldier moraine, airmen.

They don't need your counsel here on what is lawful or not. They're smart enough to be able to.
So, how is this being interpreted by the military, do you suppose? What's happening? If

you were part of this task force on Venezuela or anywhere in the world and you heard this, what would you think?

Probably a lot of eye rolls.

That's how

I would interpret this if I was still in the military. I don't think that this is really bothering too many of them at all.

I think that the fact that some of these rumors, as the senators said, if this were true, they don't even know. They're talking about a hypothetical.

They're throwing out something that possibly they can fish around for another impeachment. It's ridiculous.
It's embarrassing that it's come to this point.

As you lay out,

let's say we, if we had footage, because we would have footage, if a plane was, you know, they dropped a bomb and then you had survivors and they were, you know, going, hey, we're alive and somebody shot them or killed them, we'd have footage of that.

That footage comes out. What would you say?

Well, yeah, if that's what the footage showed, then it would definitely look for a lot more investigation.

But I've been in, you know, in multiple different military operations where it's never as it is was appeared or it looked like on a on a report higher up in the food, you know, up the chain of command.

I'd want to know all the details. This would be a huge investigation.

But it should be.

Because if it was, if it was somebody saying, shoot him anyway, that's wrong. And that person should go to jail.
Yeah. Right.
We've seen no evidence to that at all. None.
None. None.
None.

That's the problem. We'd be with you.
If you would show us the evidence and we could do an investigation and show that did happen or didn't happen, we'd be with you.

But, you know, you're being so irresponsible by saying this. This isn't just to the military and to the American people.

Those statements are going to our enemies in China and Russia and Ukraine and Iran, in Venezuela. They're hearing this too and using it and also viewing us as very weak.

Not good, because the only time that ever happens is right before a revolution, quite honestly. Let me me tell you about Legacy Box.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here.

I just want to address something I saw happening on social media with all of the problems with the Afghani people that were brought in by the United States.

And I saw. You know, Glenn Beck, is she going to pay for all the planes to bring all the people to Guantanamo Bay? Let me tell you something.

I'd personally be happy to write the check for a flight to Guantanamo Bay if anyone we brought into the country would do anything, I'd happily do it personally.

However, all of the planes that we brought out of people, they went to the UAE, not to the U.S.

And the ones that we did bring out were Christians, had U.S. passports, were U.S.
residents, or people who served our country who were SIV or P1, P2.

State Department vetted and allowed every entry from

the UAE to the U.S. We brought them to the UAE.
We were bringing them to other countries, mainly Australia was one of the big ones that accepted. Our vetting was outrageously good.

The vetting, and we said this at the time, the United States is bringing people in. They have no idea who they are.
They also, as I've said recently, and there's a video circulating around it,

the State Department was so unbelievably dishonorable that they took people that we had vetted, Christians, that we had taken and put on the plane.

They had taken them off and said, no, you got to put these people on.

We don't know who those people were. The first group, we did know who they were.
They were soldiers that the U.S. abandoned, abandoned, and couldn't get out themselves.
So we put them on our plane.

Then we had to compromise with them. If you want any of these planes to take off, you're going to have to put some of our people on as well.
Fine. We're not responsible for them.

We don't know who they are. We've got it all vetted.
And that's when I I was on the air saying their vetting is horrible. You don't have any idea who these people are.

But we know who our people were.

And if there is a problem, I'll make this promise. I will personally be happy to write the check to send that individual to Guantanamo.
I'd be happy to flip the switch on the execution chair.

Sorry,

but that's not going to happen. It's not going to happen.

Okay, the other thing is,

shopping. Did you see that this

Black Friday,

first quarter of a trillion-dollar season, Black Friday, first time ever, quarter of a trillion dollars, new highs.

Wow.

Okay. Okay.

Black Friday made up 10% total sales for the month of November. $111 billion

represents 9.1% increase on online sales compared to last year.

They track over a trillion dollars in U.S. retail site visits.
Adobe does.

If this continues, it looks like Christmas is going to be the first quarter of a trillion-dollar season that would be a record in the United States.

We're still spending.

Of course, you know, it looks like we're buying more, but are we? Really? I got to send this. I got to send this out.

Would you tweet this for me, Ricky?

The purchasing power of the dollar. In 1913,

in 1913, you could buy 30 Hershey chocolate bars with $1.

1929, you could buy 10 rolls of toilet paper. 1933, 10 bottles of beer.
1944, 20 bottles of Coca-Cola. 1953, 10 bags of pretzels.
1964, one movie ticket to a drive-in theater.

1971, you could buy 17 oranges. 1987, with a dollar, you could buy two boxes of Crayola crayons.

1997, you could buy four grapefruits. 2008 with the same dollar, you could buy two lemons.
By 2020, you could buy one mcdonald's coffee and in 2025 you can buy one pack of great value

gummy worms

i don't know i think our dollar has uh gone down a little bit in in worth

this this is why gold is so important a 20 gold piece in 1930 1913 you could go to the bank and you get twenty dollars for it or you can go with twenty dollars you can go to the bank and you get a twenty dollar gold piece and then you can walk into a a good men's clothing store and say, Sir, I want your finest suit.

And for $20, you could buy the finest suit in the store. Today, you could walk in with that same gold piece.
They wouldn't take it. You'd have to cash it in, but you'd cash it in, and it'd be $4,200.

And you could go into that same men's store and you could say, I want your finest suit. And for $4,200, you'd probably get their finest suit.

Gold hasn't changed price.

Dollars have dropped in value.

What cost you $20, one gold piece, one ounce of gold, what cost you $20 in 1913, now cost you $4,200.

That's why gold is so important when it comes to inflation, because the dollar is just going to keep... We can buy gummy worms today.
Stu, I don't know how many gummy worms you,

you know, think about how many gummy worms have to be sold for a quarter of a trillion dollars. for the quarter.
Well, I would say a lot of gummy worms.

You say gummy worms, but you keep leaving out that detail that they are great value

gummy worms. So that's the...

Not just any gummy worms. Right.
Would you rather have

one pack of great value gummy worms or 33 Hershey bars? That's a real, you're on the borderline there. I'm not sure which one you'd rather have.
Isn't that incredible?

30 Hershey bars, 10 rolls of toilet paper

for a dollar.

For a dollar,

10 bottles of beer. You couldn't go in, you know, you go in with your friends and say,

beer for everybody. I've got two bucks.

Think of that. That's crazy.

And now that we need to get more drunk, we can't even afford the alcohol. It's really sad.
What a terrible,

terrible turn of events. It is amazing, though.
I mean, and I think, too, we've lost track of that because, you know, when inflation rates come down,

that is, you know, positive compared to what we were facing a few years ago, but it is still building on top of those price increases that were locked in. It's not that prices are going down.

It's just that the rate of increase on those prices is going down.

Why, why do we accept 2% inflation every year? I've heard that my whole life. And they're like, oh, the Fed projects 2% inflation.
That's their target.

Why?

Why would we target our money being worth 2% less every year?

It doesn't seem like a good deal. Yeah, I mean, you've always talked about that.
What is it, inertia of money and like trying to get the dollars flowing, which seems to be their

motivation on that?

You know, if it was, if they actually were able to hit those numbers, it would probably not be all that damaging. You'd sure have a little bit of money

wasting away every year, which is not good, but it wouldn't be that dramatic. It was close under Biden, it was 9%.
Yeah, that was good.

That was good. And then we built, and then we were like 9, you know, 6, 4, 3, we've succeeded.
Like, well, no, wait, the 9% increase, that stayed.

And then we built another 3% on top of that and a 6% on top of that and a 4%.

And just keeps going up and up and up and up.

Did you see by any chance, hopefully you didn't over Thanksgiving weekend, but there was a chart tweeted by Amy Klobuchar? Did you see this by any chance? No, I didn't.

I missed the Amy Klobuchar chart. It was a Thanksgiving miracle, Glenn.

I should have prayed for Thanksgiving on that, but go ahead. It was such a thank you, Lord.

It was so moronic that it actually kind of was a holiday gift to all of us because she tweeted this chart of energy prices skyrocketing. And

she's like, these prices are skyrocketing under President Trump. I can't believe this.
And it is, I mean, it is pretty much a straight up line.

The issue was it went back to like 2020 and shows that all of the increases happened under Joe Biden and they've just kind of continued to increase. And it wasn't even a pricing chart.
It was

how many people are behind on their energy bill, which is still skyrocketing.

But almost all of this happened during the president that she passionately supported up until he seemingly keeled over in the middle of a debate. So, you know,

not necessarily the way to go, I guess, if you're Amy Klobuchar. But we just kind of accept all this this at this point.
We just accept the prices going up. We do.

Just part of our options.

Hey, you know whose prices are coming down? Glenbeck.com.

Yeah, Glenbeck.com. Yeah.
You can go to Glennbeck.com right now and go to shop,

Well, it's my personal, you know.

brand, if you will. I have it on my letterhead and everything else, but it's the skull and crossbones with a crown that

floats above it. And it's an old kind of colonial thing that they said, no king but Christ.
We don't have a king. We answer to Christ.

And so we have a whole bunch of new design t-shirts that are out and mugs and

hats and everything else, even wrapping paper. But also in the art section, if you go up and you're looking around, you'll see merchandise and then art.
And you go over the art. All the art is up.

There's a lot of great stuff.

A lot of great stuff.

Especially, I'm just looking through the artwork. I haven't looked at this artwork in a long time.

There's some really cool, because they all tell stories of, you know, like there's this really, one I really love of the Hindenburg, and you see it, and it's kind of cloudy and kind of out of the mist, and you see just this little flame at the beginning of it.

And it's called 29 Seconds. And

all of the paintings have a story behind them. And 29 seconds is how fast your life can change.

In 29 seconds, they went from, oh, wow, look at this. This is a miracle to, oh, my, oh, the humanity.
And all these people dead on the ground.

In 29 seconds, that came out of the sky and was over in half a minute.

I've got one, if you know of a golfer, there's a great one,

Ben Hogan

and

Jack Nicholas that I did. And

it's when they were playing as a team. You know, they were fierce competitors, but when they were playing as a team, they just became one.
And it was just this amazing thing to watch.

And it's this, as I was painting it, I was going to do it all in color.

And then I'm looking at them, and I'm seeing that their eyes, there's this great photo of them, and they're looking at the ball, and they're laying out the shot.

And Hogan is behind Nicholas, and he's looking at the shot.

And you can see they're just focused on the same thing. And so I painted one over just them and their focus.

And that's all in color because I kind of thought if you're really, really focused, you know how what you're focused on, what you're doing, what you're really good at, it's just vivid color and you can see it clearly and everything else kind of fades off into the black.

And you just check them out. They're great.
It's glenbeck.com.

I need to tell you about LifeLock.

Every year around Christmas, we think about protecting the people that we love, but most of us never think about protecting what criminals target most, and that's our identity.

Cyber criminals aren't picking locks. They're picking through your data.
One breach, one phony email, one compromised password, and they can open your accounts in your name.

They can drain your savings. They can file taxes as you.
Life

they don't just monitor part of your digital life. They watch for signs of identity theft in places you could never see on your own.
New credit card applications, fake loans,

important stuff, information popping up on the dark web. They're looking for all of it.
I can't tell you how many times we've received a call from LifeLock and they've said,

are you taking out a new loan? Are you opening up a credit line? Are you taking up insurance for this? And we're like, nope, not us. They stop it.

Most homeowners don't realize how easy it is for someone to steal their house without ever stepping on the property. Most title theft happens digitally.

So this is someone where, you know, your personal information is taken, it's put onto a deed, it is transferred when it comes to the ownership, and then they just start taking out loans against your equity before you even know anything happened.

And unlike credit cards or bank accounts, there's not really a built-in protection for your home's title.

You can't freeze it, you can't password lock it, you can't ask the county to verify your identity. If a criminal files the paperwork, he wins.
And that's why home title lock exists.

They monitor your title constantly, looking for the kinds of activity that signal fraud, you know, transfers and loans and liens and anything that shouldn't be happening.

And if they detect a problem, you are alerted immediately, long before a thief can drain your equity or put your home in jeopardy.

And if the worst does happen, the restoration team steps in to help you fix it. I've worked with Home Title Lock for a long time because I want you to protect your equity.
I want you to find out today

if you're already a victim of this. If you use the promo code Blaze at home titlelock.com, you'll get a free title history report, plus a free trial of their million-dollar triple lock protection.

It's 24-7 monitoring of your title records, urgent alerts to any changes, and if fraud occurs,

they'll spend like a million dollars to help you fix it. It's hometitalock.com, promo code Blaze, home titlelock.com.

I'm kind of in a Mar-a-Lago palooza this week. I'm doing a bunch of fundraisers for several different charities all week.

So, my Wednesday night special is going to happen on Thursday night because that's my night off from doing

Mar-a-Lago fundraisers.

And so, we have Chris Ruffo on on Thursday. You don't want to miss.
He's going to be giving us all the evidence that the New York Times says he doesn't have about the Somali,

I don't know, what would you call it?

The Somali terror funds that are going off overseas. That's on Thursday show.
Yeah, shocking to see actually the New York Times cover it. I mean, they were a little hesitant of

his, like, you know, as far as he went, but they really, they were hammering Tim Walls on it, I thought. I was shocked to see them going as far as they did.

So the story I read from the New York Times, it was like the third to the last paragraph.

Yeah, you're talking about the same story? The Chris Ruffo terror part of it was late in the story. And I agree, they did not do that or did not do that justice.

But I will say anything that makes fun of Tim Walls and allows us to call him names is, I think, a positive for the country. So

that I did appreciate.

I also, I'm curious if people are going to pick up on this Mark Kelly quote. I was fascinated by this particular position by Mark Kelly because we talked about him earlier this hour.

But he said when they were talking about pausing immigration from third world countries, he said this, quote, when I heard the secretary say they're going to pause immigration from third world countries, I take that as a message that they don't want brown people coming into the United States, and I find that disturbing.

So, wait, so when you heard someone say something, you changed it to something else that you found objectionable, and then you found that new thing that wasn't actually said disturbing? That's that.

And it was you that made it into something racist? You thought

when you hear these words, you think, oh, he means brown and black people.

That would make you the racist, wouldn't it?

I think just

me. All right, more in a minute.

This is Glenn Beck. This Christmas, as we celebrate the gift of life, you have a chance to share a gift with a mom who's feeling alone and unsure of what she should be doing.

You know, maybe she's sitting in her car right now trying to decide which door to walk through. She's She's looking for hope, and that is where pre-born steps in.

Here's something we rarely think about. Steve Jobs,

Andre Boticelli, Jack Nicholson, Celine Dion, Oprah, all of them were unplanned. Maybe you were unplanned.
Maybe somebody you love was, but God's plan of redemption also works for the unplanned.

And when a woman is facing that life-altering moment, when she's afraid and she doesn't feel ready, the pre-born network of clinics is there to meet her with compassion and truth.

And every mother they serve reaches a moment when she sees her baby's ultrasound. In that sacred second, she can say yes, and they're there to help her say yes.

Right now, you can donate, dial pound250, say the keyword baby, pound250, keyword baby, or go to preborn.com/slash glenn. That's preborn.com/slash glenn.

Thanks to a matching gift, your gift is going to be doubled right now. So double the gift by just giving what you can at preborn.com/slash Glenn.

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

Stand your ground when times get tight. Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glenbeck program.

A guy I met years ago backstage when he was working with somebody else and they were out on stage is Big and Rich. John Rich joins me here in just a second.

Really great guy, unbelievable talent, and is doing something

that is, I would say, unusual, but not for him.

He's really a good guy and a philanthropist. But I want you to hear his latest work.

When we come back, he'll be with us just a second, first 60 seconds to tell you about American Financing. This time of the year, you really start to see where your money is going.

The bills stack up, the interest rates keep climbing, and you realize how much of your life is just being eaten up by debt.

If you're feeling that weight, you're not alone, but you can do something about it. American Financing is a family-owned mortgage company.

They don't just try to jam you into a loan that you don't need. They sit down with you.
They look at what you're paying every single month and help you find real savings.

Money you can put back into your life, not into a bank's pocket. Whether it's refi, a debt consolidation loan, or maybe just lowering that monthly payment, they walk you through it step by step.

And here's what I love: they don't just work for the banks. In fact, they don't work for the banks at all, they work for you.

No pressure, no games, just honest guidance to help you breathe again financially. I've heard from so many listeners who have saved five to eight thousand dollars every month.

Most families, that's life-changing. Please call American Financing now, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

Pull out Cut 8 for me. Here's just a little bit of John Rich and his new song.
Listen to this.

Try to steal

See you around the corner. And I know you'd come.

If you had any sense, you run.

You ain't got a clue what a daddy will do.

But I'll give you so to to Jesus while I get my gold.

You better give your soul to Jesus while I get my gold.

It's called The Righteous Hunter,

and John Rich is with us now. Hey, John, how are you, man?

Glenn, I'm great, brother. It's been a long time since I've had the pleasure of talking to you, so thanks for having me on.

You bet.

First of all, what a great song.

Powerful, powerful video. Really powerful.

Why did you do this?

So I'm a dad. I'm sure there's a lot of moms and dads listening to you every day.
I know there are.

And

when I started realizing the extent

of child predators and the networks that they have in America,

I was so overwhelmed by it. I couldn't believe the numbers.
The Department of Homeland Security told me that in a 12-month period, they received 36 million

reports of

kids being targeted online by child sex predators. I said, 36 million? They said, yes, it's over 3 million a month.

It is so huge and so massive that regular parents, even Christian parents, patriotic parents, you know, the ones that pay attention,

even we can become victims of these people. They are that tricky, that elusive, that demonic.
So that led to me writing this song.

I'm sick and tired of us sitting around hoping they don't get our kids next.

You know, it tells us in the Bible to go on the offense when you're a parent. You're supposed to not just defend, but go on offense.

If you know there's a wolf in the front yard, you go out there and handle the wolf. And that's how I look at these predators.
So the righteous hunter, that song was born from that thought.

you know you say you know it can even hit us uh i've only told this story once before but um my son when he was probably

14

he was playing um on a playstation

and it's one o'clock in the morning and the phone rings

and we were lucky enough at that time to have land lines and the

and we had multiple lines and it rang once and then it hung up. My wife was like, what was that? And I said, I don't know.

And then she, it bothered her so much, she stayed awake and she watched the lines and she saw line, line two light up. She's like, somebody's on the phone.

And we went up. We found out that my son was on the phone with a gamer.

And we called the FBI. And my son was freaking out.
He's like, dad, he's just a normal kid, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Call the FBI.
They do an investigation. He was an adult.

He was working at, let's just say, a major amusement park in the Los Angeles, Orange County area.

And

was, I mean, as the FBI told us, this is the way it happens. You don't see it.
It's in the middle of the night.

They had just caught somebody who had just, in our general area,

just caught somebody whose daughter was taken and taken across state lines.

And they said, you know, they just said, hey, we're going to send you an airline ticket. Just come and visit us.

We're just, and, you know, it didn't turn out well, but they, they caught that person as well. But that doesn't happen all the time.
You usually don't catch it. We were really blessed.

Yeah, the stats are that less than 1%

of kids who wind up being trafficked are ever returned to their parents. This video that you're talking about that I shot, I had to take some time to think about it.

I wrote this song almost a year ago, and it is such a disturbing subject, but I knew it was written for a reason. It was written to make parents wake up.

It was written to make predators hopefully shake in fear from the wrath of God and the American parent, because I don't think they have any fear.

I know they don't have any fear of God, but they need to fear us. And so I took a lot of time shooting it.
In this video, Glenn,

there's a reenactment of adults purchasing children in somebody's house. Yeah.
Which

is accurate because

we had actual supervision in the room from people who do this for a living. They go sting these people.
They set them up. They arrest them.

We had them in the room to make sure everything we did was accurate. So I would urge people to watch it.
As hard as it is to look at, you need to look at it.

Was the girl who's returned, was that just off the top of your head? Was that just a hope, or is that a true story?

In the video?

There are kids that get returned, but it's less than 1%.

Less than 1%, Glenn.

I mean, that is unacceptable when

there's tens of millions of moms and dads who would go to the ends of the earth to get them, but less than 1% ever come back. I mean,

it is one of the most horrific blights and sins existing in the world today. I'd say the most.
I mean, Jesus himself, probably the most aggressive thing the Son of God ever said that's recorded

was that you'd be better off dead than to hurt one of these kids, a millstone around your neck, as we know that phrase. Yeah.

Yeah.

Did Sean Combs and what he was going through play a role in bringing you to this message?

Sean Combs, you mean

you're talking about Diddy?

Yeah.

Well, I saw a video of him about a year ago on stage at some award show, and he looked right into the camera and said,

I own your kids. I determine what they listen to, what they wear, what they think is cool.
I'll take your souls. He looks into the camera with this demonic look in his eye.

proclaims this to American parents. And, you know, music is his weapon.

Sean Combs and the industry, a lot of them, they use their music as a weapon to steal our sons and daughters, as the song says, to take them from us, to wreck their lives, to veer them off the path that God has intended for them to live.

They use their music to get them. And I was so enraged when I saw that demoniac say that with such arrogance.
And we know the devil is the most arrogant creature ever created. I said,

Sean Combs' music is his weapon. Well, music is my weapon as well.
So I'm going to write something and let Sean Combs and the rest of these Sean Combses of the world know

how the American parent feels about it and what we're willing to do to protect our kids because I don't think you guys are really aware of that. And so that's, yeah, that's where the song came from.

I went to Sean Ryan, who a lot of people know Sean Ryan from his podcast, and I asked him, would he play the dad in the video? And, you know, this is not a guy that's going to do music videos.

I thought he would say, man, I appreciate it, but no. But he said, yes.
So in the Righteous Hunter video, Sean Ryan is playing the dad, and it's his daughter being reenacted that has been taken.

Well, it's very, very powerful. Let me ask you, what is the...

You know, I was thinking about what TikTok is here in America and what TikTok is in China. And TikTok in China is all positive.
It's all positive. It's all uplifting.

It's all kids doing amazing things, et cetera, et cetera, because they know it's good for society. Here, they've perverted it and just went the other direction.

What is it about our society that is attracted to stuff like this?

Why do we consume this garbage?

I think we have been programmed. for decades, you know this, programmed little by little by little.
Things that were shocking in the 80s now would be rated PG.

Things that were shocking even 10 years ago, now you can click on it and watch it on TikTok.

Degree by degree,

they have come further and further into

the households of Americans and conditioned those kids and parents to just consider it normal. And that's the trick.
That's the deception.

That's why you have 36 million reports in one year in the DHS alone of kids being targeted online. Listen, this video is not just to yell into the void, Glenn.

It's not just, hey, all you predators, you know, we see you. Yeah, that's part of it.
But

the bigger point of parents watching this video, and the whole thing, by the way, is posted at John Rich on X. That's just at the top of my page if you want to watch it.

The bigger point is that American parents start looking into their kids' devices. They go online and figure out how to safeguard against this stuff.
Don't let them in your house.

Listen, you wouldn't let a predator come through your front door or plate glass window in the middle of the night. He would be met with gunfire.

He would die inside your home if he tried to take one of your kids. But we sit there as we're

following up on our emails or whatever we're doing, and our kids are off in the bedroom. They could be getting taken by Roblox.

I mean, all these innocuous games that seem like nothing.

These predators are coming in and posing as a kid and then doing what you said, that story earlier, and they are very successful at it. We got to stop that.

Parents have to go on the offense, and it starts inside your own home.

The one thing that you could do is cancel Meta. Make sure you don't have Meta.
I don't know if you know this, but

Meta, if you were an account that engaged in trafficking of humans for sex,

Meta doesn't believe in three strikes and you're out. They believe in 17 strikes and you're out.

17 chances.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I mean, that's what I'm saying. I don't know of a parent that would agree with that.
Yeah.

Well, no parent agrees with that. But listen, we are up against an army,

battalions, legions

of demons in this world.

They are there. They possess people.
Just like you and I are possessed by the Holy Spirit because we gave our lives to Jesus Christ. We are possessed by him.
We're possessed by the Holy Spirit.

They are possessed by the Spirit of their Father. And it is an actual straight-up war.
And if you think about it,

what probably

puts the most tears down the cheeks of Jesus Christ

when you

hurt the kids? Yes, absolutely. That is their motive.
If they can derail the kids, they think they can win. And we can't let that happen.

John, thanks for everything. You're a good man.
I love watching you and listening to you. And thanks for everything you do.

You bet, Glenn. Thanks for having me on.

You bet. John Rich,

you can listen to John Rich on at X, John Rich at X, John Rich Music

or at John Rich.

All right.

Well, this week is the biggest giving week. It's not just the biggest sales week.
In fact, going to be a record-breaking sales week or sales month, I think.

This quarter is going to be, what was it, a quarter of a trillion dollars?

Was that right?

In sales.

I think it was a quarter of a trillion, wasn't it? $200 something billion dollars in sales between.

Can you look that up, Stu? I had that earlier. I don't know where I found it.

But it's a lot of money. A lot of money we're spending on Christmas this season.
It'll be the largest season in history. But tomorrow is Giving Tuesday.

It is the largest single day of global generosity of the entire year. Mercury One has a goal of $300,000 towards our maximum impact fund.

We'd like to make this the biggest Giving Tuesday we've ever had. We really could use your help.
The Mercury One Maximum Impact Fund allows us to respond to any

crisis. There's something that happens in

Seattle, Washington. I mean, we'd have to help the people in Seattle too, wouldn't we? Yeah, Christ would.

But

something happens, there's a flood, a tornado, whatever happens, this fund allows us to be the first ones in and the last ones out when a crisis strikes and helps fuel our mission of restoring the human spirit all year long.

This year, we were the first on the ground in response to the wildflowers and wildfires and the floods and the typhoons and the tornadoes and the hurricanes and the humanitarian crisis, not just here in America, but all around the globe.

It's essential for Mercury One for the work that we do. Would you give it today? Tax deductible, Giving Tuesday gift, mercury1.org.
That's Mercury O-N-E, mercury1.org. Tax deductible, Giving Tuesday.

How much is it?

Quarter of it. Yeah, quarter of a trillion dollars going to be spent.
this season on holiday. Quarter of a trillion dollars.

Why are you giving me that face, Stu? You give me that face. People on radio can't.
No, I know.

I wasn't going on the air with it because I don't have an actual answer here, but I was making the face because I'm just found it. I'm trying to understand what the number is.

Like the National Retail Federation last year said it was over a trillion dollars total spent for holiday sales

in

900 and

then there's another report that it was $11.8 billion spent just on Black Friday online.

So I'm trying to narrow down exactly what it is. Oh, you know what it is? It's a quarter of a trillion dollars online.
That's what it is. A quarter of a trillion on a business online.

A quarter of a trillion dollars

whole season online. Okay.
Which is the largest online.

That would make sense if it's a trillion dollars total. Although, I almost think it - I almost feel like it's more than a quarter of what we spend these days is online.

But I guess still a lot of people walking into stores.

Depends on how you calculate it. But anyway, a lot of money.
Such a hassle. It's funny because,

Glenn, I keep hearing all these stories about how everyone's losing their jobs and that, you know, people with even high education levels and hundreds of thousands of dollars in income lose jobs.

They can't get new jobs. All these things with AI coming and everything else.
And I don't, we're not acting like that specialist.

Thank you. So what's the truth? Thank you.

I don't know. I don't know.
I'm afraid we're just spending it anyway.

I'm afraid we're all just like, oh, well.

Retail therapy. I don't show to hell with debt.
Okay. You don't want to be in hell in debt.
You don't.

But

I'm afraid that that's what's happening. We're just spending it anyway.
Well, you know, Glenn, you can't take it with you, and that includes credit card bills.

So

that's right. That's very good.
So if you know you're dying right after

spend away. Spend away.
You're totally fine.

But please know that you're definitely going to be

dead before the bill comes due. Otherwise, it's going to be problems.
It'll just be very stressful on the way out. You'll be like, I got to die.
I got to die quickly.

Second notice. Come on, man.
Doctor said I only had a week to live. What's up with this bad doctor? All right, more in just a second.

Today after the program, I'm recording episode number 9 and 10 of the American History Podcast, The American Story, The Beginnings.

And it's all going to be part of the torch next year, and you'll be able to get that. And the first 10 episodes are going to be available.

First five or first ten, Ricky, you know, first 10 episodes will be available January 5th, and you'll get access to all of those commercial-free right off the bat.

And then we'll be releasing them throughout the year.

But we have a ton of different things that we are doing on the torch that is just very, very different

than anything that I've ever done before.

We've rearranged my entire life and schedule to be able to, I think, put higher quality out, better quality.

And we're going to be responding directly to you. In fact, we're going today to look at a studio that I'm going to be doing.

Is this in week one? Do you know? We'll be playing on week one, Ricky. Don't know.
Okay. One of the first weeks,

I'll be doing some

town halls. with anybody.
The first month of the torch will be free, and we just want you to check it out. And if you find value in it, great.
If not, great. But

we really want you to be connected in this. We're building a community

and want you to be connected and play a real role. And so we'll have more on that after the first of the year.
But I'll tell you, I'm doing right now. I'm doing the Washington part of the revolution.

And my gosh, I listen to it fully produced. I do the reading.
Nathan writes it

and then gives it to me and I record it. And then

Nick in Tampa, he goes and he produces all of it. And he's producing it all 3D.
I mean, you're hearing the bullets whiz by. It's really, really cool.

But bringing American history to life. Be part of the torch next year.

All right.

Let me see. We have, is Alex on with us yet?

Alex Newman, who is a journalist and also going to be joining our torch team, I believe.

He is a journalist and just a really, really good

reporter and journalist and investigative kind of guy. He runs Liberty Sentinel Media.

He was out at the COP30 climate summit, what, week before last, and I just never got a chance to go out to him.

And I just wanted to hear the recap of what actually happened at the climate summit because we didn't go. which I'm thrilled about.
And of course, China just, wow, China's just really looking good.

Are they, they're building one coal plant a week. Are they really leading the world in this? What a bunch of dopes.

But he was there.

And as we look at things, are we getting better or worse or about the same, Alex? What's actually happening with the climate change stuff?

Well, thank you very much for having me, Glenn. It's great to be here.
And I've been covering these for 15 years now. I've been going to the one they did in Copenhagen.

I've been covering these for New American magazine. And this one was very interesting because we've got Trump in the White House.
And of course, he actually boycotted the summit.

We reached out to the State Department. They told us they deliberately chose not to send anybody.
So there was no U.S. delegation for the first time in 30 years of these.

And that made for a very interesting situation. Yeah, and a lot of Americans thought that was great, hooray.
And a lot of the climate skeptics also thought so.

But some of the globalists at the UN conference also said, hey, this is a great opportunity because the United States is still involved in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, but they're not here to obstruct passage of an ambitious deal.

So let's do some great stuff. And then, when Trump is gone in three and a half years, we'll impose that on Americans.
So, obviously, Trump

off the Trump card. You can get us out of the UN FCCC.

But as of now, they passed a pretty interesting agreement, Glenn. It included mention of a carbon budget.

They claim that four-fifths of the CO2 that humans can be allowed to emit has already been emitted. And of course, the United States

most of that. True story.
So India and China get to do the rest, essentially.

They passed really a lot of the act side agreements.

A big group, including a bunch of U.S. allies, passed an agreement on information integrity, where they said we need to censor the internet and censor people who don't agree with us.

Pretty remarkable.

Brazil and the European Union passed, they created this new system to integrate the carbon markets of the world. They were very enthusiastic about that.

They got in the main agreement a bunch of new metrics and tools for analytics, basically, tools for future enforcement of these climate decrees. So a lot happened.

And really, I think the strategy for these people is: hey, we've got Trump for three and a half more years. Let's just keep our heads down.
We know that he doesn't believe us.

We know the American people don't believe us. So let's just not talk about it too loudly.
We'll keep building this climate regime, as they call it, brick by brick, cop by cop.

And once Trump is gone, we'll hit the pedals of the metal again.

Wow. So, was this a mistake by not showing up?

You know, I don't know. I know some of the people down at the UN summit thought this was a good opportunity for them, but you know, Trump's not done.
I've spoken with people at EPA.

I've spoken with people at the State Department who have said that they are seriously considering the possibility of withdrawing from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, which is the 1992 treaty

process. Yeah, it seems like a no-brainer because Trump has taken really decisive action on this.

In fact, before he went into the White House, he said one of the top priorities for the MAGA movement and the United States needs to be to decisively crush this climate hysteria hoax.

So he's really serious about it. And if you look at the executive orders he's done, he has taken a chainsaw to this in terms of the funding, in terms of the subsequent agreements.

He also has reversed what they call the endangerment finding during Obama's administration.

They claim carbon dioxide, the gas we exhale, is pollution that needs to be regulated under the Clean Air Act. He's in the process of reversing that.

So he seems very serious about stopping this madness. And I don't think he's done yet.

So how far did they get towards their goal of eliminating oil and gas?

Well, this is a funny story.

Yeah, I was on the Arabian Peninsula a couple years ago, and they managed to get that into the final agreement, which was a huge victory for the most radical elements here.

You know, the Rockefeller Front groups, like Oil Change International. This was like their crowning achievement.
And they couldn't get that reiterated in this year's agreement.

I think partly because Trump was pressuring some of the Arab governments not to go along with it. But they're still very serious about getting rid of fossil fuels.

But here's the thing, Glenn, and I pointed this out in my cover story after coming back from Dubai, the COP28.

When they talk about phasing out fossil fuels, everybody there knows that the communist Chinese and India and the Arab government, they're not going to phase out fossil fuels. Give me a break.

They all understand that this is a tool for dismantling the economies of the West, shipping our productive capacity to China. And then literally, they got caught.

The Communist Chinese and the Arab government got caught at that climate summit in Dubai making oil deals at the summit. And this came out in the mainstream media and in the pro-climate alarm.

So it's for the suckers in the West to keep dismantling our economies and shifting our productive capacity to China.

Well, also for the New York Times, I heard this glowing report from the New York Times podcast a couple of weeks ago, and they were like, China was a superstar.

Everybody was going to China going, look at how China's leading the world. China's not leading the world.
China is doing everything

that you're trying to ban. They're doing all of it.
And then they're selling you their crap to get you to follow the climate controls. They're not following any of them.

That's one of the biggest stories and the biggest takeaways for me from this whole thing, Clint.

First of all, it proves that at the very top, these people know the climate thing with the CO2 being polluted is a total fraud. And this dawned on me in Paris.
I was there in 2015.

Barack Obama promised to slash American CO2 emissions by like 30% in 10 years. The Obama Chinese said they were going to keep increasing theirs for 15 years.

If you really believe CO2 is a problem, that's the worst possible thing you could do because every unit of production in China emits way more CO2. So this is a fraud.

The people at the highest levels know it. China emits almost 300% more CO2 than America, and it's rising like a rocket ship, but you would never know it at these climate summits, man.

Everybody treats communist China like they're the world leader. Some of them will lie and say communist China is doing a great job.
It's truly incredible.

Now, I don't begrudge them their CO2 emissions. You know, CO2, as Will Happer, Trump's climate advisor from the first term, told me, we need more CO2.
We should encourage people to make more CO2.

It's the gas of life.

But

to pretend like communist China is saving the world by building a new coal-fired power plant every year and increasing their CO2 emissions while selling us garbage solar panels and windmills that don't work is to utterly ignore all of the evidence, the whole reality.

Yeah.

So tell me the controversy over the dragon jaguar guardian spirit thing. How

I mean, is this just a symbol of something or

is this like a golden calf kind of thing?

Well, for me, it was a perfect representation of the spiritual reality of these and i've gone with a lot of people people who work for me people you know other journalists and i'm not the only one who notices the really dark feeling when you get into these things this you know spiritual oppression and so this year the ccp unveils this gift

they call it a gift to the people of brazil it's it's supposed to be the official dragon jaguar guardian spirit of the cop 30. And I encourage people to look at this image.

I mean, if you're hearing us on the radio, you're not going to be able to see it. But you can go to my ex account, Alex Newman underscore J-O- We're going to put it on the cover of the magazine.

It's a big, giant leopard, dragon, jaguar thing with big devil horns sticking out the top, holding the whole world in its hands with COP30 emblazoned across the front.

And for the Brazilian people, you know, Brazil is a Catholic country. They're famous, of course, for the Christ the Reserve statue on Mount Corcovado overlooking Rio, which is the capital.

Brazilian Christians said, hey, Brazil belongs to Jesus Christ, not to your demon, guardian, dragon, devil, spirit, whatever. Get that thing out of our country.

So, Brazilian Christians were really upset about this, but yeah, this was the official guardian spirit.

And for me, it was just a perfect representation of everything that is really going on in the spiritual realm with this whole process.

Oh, my gosh. I'm just looking at it.
It is

absolutely demonic.

Holy cow, why would you want that? I mean, we have the golden calf, yes, on Wall Street. Really, kind of a bad thing.

This is just so clearly not good.

Oh, my gosh.

Good representation of what's going on. One of the articles I'm writing now is about how they're bringing the religions of the world together to redefine morality in terms of climate and Mother Earth.

And we're also watching the repaganization of the West. And that was really on display at this COP.

You know, they brought in all kinds of pagan and pantheist and animistic religious groups to pray over Mother Earth. And these were official events, you know.
And I've been watching this for years.

In Egypt, I was there a couple of years ago for the COP27. They unveiled the new and improved Ten Commandments where they said we must serve this life-giving, interdependent earth.

I mean, there's a very serious religious and spiritual component to this that none of the journalists are seeing. And I think it's because they're all approaching

a materialistic worldview, but it's really important.

Yeah.

Did you see that Zillow has just removed the climate risk things from their listings?

I think it's because it probably got sued because people's houses were dropping in value because they said, oh, that's a climate risk, that house. They just took it off.

They did that in Miami, too. You had some of the municipalities down there saying, oh, our houses are going to be underwater.
People said, wait a minute. First of all, that's fake.

Second of all, you're destroying our property values, which is going to destroy your tax revenue. What are you people doing?

But the reality is, man, the polling shows Americans don't believe this stuff.

The polling shows less than one in three Americans is interested in paying even like 10 bucks on their monthly energy bill to stop climate change.

So they know from their perspective, the best policy is just to stay quiet, don't say anything, let this thing materialize.

And then, as they themselves said, at this cop and the one before it, and the one before that, we're going to get the children. We're going to bring this in through the school.

We're going to teach them not to

take action. It is.
They're trying to capture the hearts and minds of our young ones.

And that's really the heart of their strategy because they know the bitter clingers, the older Americans, are not going to go for this stuff.

You follow Alex Newman, Alex Newman underscore J-O-U on Twitter. His website is libertysentinel.org.
Alex Newman, always good to talk to you, Alex. Thank you for the update.

I will tell you that one of the things that, you know, he was just saying, you know, they're hurting the property values and everything else. And the average person knows it's bullcrap.

No, here's how you know this is bull crap. The banks are still writing loans for commercial properties and homes on the coastlines.
It would be fiscally irresponsible to do that.

They could not do that if they were actually believing that global warming was real. They would have to say, we cannot underwrite any more homes on the coastlines.
They're not doing that, are they?

Why? Because they know it's fake.

That take that one literally to the bank. All right, back in just a second.

The fact that the president's come out and he's going to say he's going to review every green card holder from 19 countries of concern.

He

has stopped certain immigrants from countries already that, again, make sweeping generalizations about countries that

shouldn't have every individual assumed to be dangerous to admit to the United States. We need to make sure that we have tight and appropriate and proper vetting.

If there were gaps that admitted this person, they would have failed over multiple levels of gaps and this individual was trusted enough to participate in assisting our military during the war in Afghanistan.

So

I just think the president looks everywhere except inward to blame his own policies.

We need to make sure that we don't have our military deployed in our cities. We're

handling law enforcement responsibilities. And we need to make sure that we address gun violence.
We certainly need to make sure we always have the proper and appropriate and tight betting

processes, and those should be reviewed. Right.
But President, it's never the president's fault

or his policy. It's always the president's fault.
Of course it is.

The truly horrible Debbie Wasserman-Schultz there reminding us that it's President Trump's fault for the person that Joe Biden led into the country to shoot our National Guard. Perfect.

This is Glenn Beck.
