What does Glenn believe is the reason behind the current push for war in global hotspots?

Glenn expects Trump to prioritize energy independence, which he believes will help bring down inflation by controlling prices. He also anticipates a focus on rebuilding the nation's energy leadership globally.

Why does Glenn think the world is on the brink of global conflict?

How does Glenn describe the educational content provided by Skytree, a nonprofit organization?

Glenn describes Skytree's content as wholesome and developmentally appropriate, aimed at providing children with educational materials that are free from pornography and adult themes, which he contrasts with the content provided by organizations like Scholastic.

With the Trump administration coming in, I feel, I would say, not just pretty good, I feel really good. However, after talking to the president last night for quite a while about things going on in the world, it's not going to be easy. And our enemies are...

right now for the next 40 some days. My Patriot Supply is something you should have. After talking to him again about nuclear war, he is so concerned about this. It is really a good idea to call My Patriot Supply. Get a four-week emergency food kit for as little as...

$50 off now on the entire kit. It has breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, snacks, even dessert, everything that you would need for four weeks. You can get it at a discounted price right now and have it delivered by tomorrow. MyPatriotSupply.com. MyPatriotSupply.com. Go there right now. It's a new day, I'm tired to run.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment is the Glenn Beck Program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We are so glad that you're here. I have a lot to share. As carefully as I can, I spent...

quite a lot of time with the president last night at Mar-a-Lago and I gotta tell you change is a coming and it's coming fast but we have 40 days we need to really be careful because the world is absolutely on fire I'll tell you as much of the conversations as I can respecting his privacy not national security didn't tell me anything about but

private conversation. I'll do that next. Let me first tell you about relief factor. How many things is pain taken away from you? What are the daily activities that you used to enjoy but can't any longer? This guy, man, he sleeps two hours a day. The person that is his aid, I talked to him last night. She's like, I get about two hours of sleep. I'm with him whenever he's awake. I'm with him

Two hours of sleep. And the guy is a machine. I was talking to him and I said, you look fantastic. And he's like, Glenn, my golf game. He's like, I should be declining at my age with golf. He said, I'm holding golf. He said, my muscles are a little weaker, he said. But with the technology improved with the clubs, he said, I'm playing the same game. It's amazing.

I'd like to be like that when I'm his age. If you're in pain, try this. Relief Factor. Stop masking your pain and start fighting back naturally. Give Relief Factor a try. Right now, their three-week quick start is only $19.95. It's less than a dollar a day. Just go to relieffactor.com. That's relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF. 800, the number four. Relief.

So I don't know where to even begin with. I just had the most amazing, surreal experience at Mar-a-Lago last night. Just surreal. I was there to help raise money for Prager University and Dennis Prager, who, by the way, let me give you an update on him. He was severely injured. He fell in the shower, hit his head, and it

snapped his neck back and he has injuries to his neck and he is making progress and only Dennis would be as positive. I mean, somehow or another, he's still like, you know, I'm, I'm doing great. And it's going to be a long process to get him back. But he had been, he wasn't able to breathe on his own, but that is over. And he spoke for the first time here last couple of days and

So, and he's fully there. His body just isn't working, but he has a long road, but he is, he is doing better. And believe me, he appreciates and can feel your prayers. Uh, he obviously wasn't there last night, but, um, he's still in the hospital. So we were there raising money for PragerU who's just, they're just doing amazing things. If you want to give for education, uh,

What they're doing now on education and PragerU and the impact that they're having is incredible, just incredible. Dennis Prager, Rush Limbaugh, when my generation and maybe the generation after me, when we'd go, people will remember Rush Limbaugh if they read about the history of people who made some impact, but

Even Rush Limbaugh, for as important and as legendary and as game-changing as he was, will eventually be forgotten. I don't think Dennis Prager will because of Prager University. That thing is making a huge impact.

and well worth your support. And it would, I think, make Dennis feel a lot better knowing that they raised a lot of money last night and they really need your help. They have huge plans. Just go to Dennis Prager dot probably org. I mean, it's Prager University dot org. And and if you have some money that you would like to invest in the future, it's a great place to invest. So I get to Mar-a-Lago and

I have a few minutes with the president and I ask him, what the hell is going on with South Korea, North Korea, China, Syria, Ukraine, Russia? He is laser focused on this. And again, he reiterated to me, the nuclear proliferation that is coming is going to be our biggest problem.

He said, we had Iran absolutely crippled. He said, I hope we can get them there quickly. He said, but nukes are up for sale now. North Korea has them. And he said, I don't have any evidence that they've sold them, but they are up for sale. And he said, proliferation of nukes are coming. And Russia is still the biggest threat. I asked him,

I just want to be really careful because it wasn't, it was just a personal conversation. But I asked him about the next 40 some days. I said, I'm very concerned that Biden or whoever is the president of the United States right now, the military industrial complex, Barack Obama, I don't know who it is, wants war. And he didn't get into who was the president or anything else. He just said,

This man is so incompetent. He said he has absolutely no idea the history of even Ukraine, let alone Russia. He said this should never have happened. And he said it is a meat grinder. He said when this is all over...

And the world can see what's happened. He said, North Korea, I asked him about the North Korean fighters. I said, you know, are they, are they good? Are they, he's like, Glenn, they're, it's a country of 5 million soldiers. He's like, it's a religion over there. Their state is the religion. Their, their Supreme leader, Kim Jong-un is like their God and,

If he says you're going to war and you're going to fight and you're dying, he said five million and they'll just keep coming. And he said the way he described it to me is it almost sounds like colonial days when everybody was just in a line, you know, and then, you know, like, OK, we want to be fair. We're going to wear the red coat so you can see where to aim. We're just going to stand on a big line. I got the impression that that's almost how North Korea they have so many people that

that wave after wave is coming. And he said, there's no respect for life. None. He said, it's unlike anything modern, the modern world has seen in a long time. He said, I don't remember exactly how he said it, but basically they don't even have tourniquets. He said, if the guys are shot in the legs, they bleed to death and people are just walking over him. He said,

You're wounded. You die. There's no medics coming for you. You just die because they got plenty of soldiers behind you. And he said, it is bloodshed like the world cannot imagine. And I asked him, I said, I think everybody wants peace. And he said, I think so too.

And he kind of hedged his, at least this is my impression, that he kind of, my impression is we are going to pay a very, very high price with Putin because we have violated every single red line with Vladimir Putin. Everything he said, don't do, we've done.

And I personally think, this is my opinion, I didn't express this to the president, but I personally think, one, they want war. I don't know who they is, the military-industrial complex, the Biden family to wipe out the corruption. Ukraine is nothing but a money laundering system. That's all it is. It's money being laundered. I don't know where it's going. Why isn't anyone concerned about

on how much money we're sending over all these weapons. They're being sold on the black market to our enemies. What the hell is happening? Why is this happening? And so my personal opinion is either they're trying to wipe out. Remember, the Hunter Biden thing is for 10 years for crimes that he's never even been accused of.

statute of limitations runs out in five years on most things, except for like murder, human trafficking, uh, treason, things like that. But he's been never before in American history. Has this ever happened? Never before a blanket, uh, pardon for anything he did from 2014. Gee, when did he go over to Ukraine? 2014. Um,

And so I don't know if they're just trying to buy their way out of trouble. They want a war to destroy all of any evidence or anybody involved. I don't know. But somebody wants war. And it might just be the military-industrial complex just saying, you know, we really need to upgrade our military, so let's just give them all this old stuff and we'll make new stuff for you, America. Could be that.

Could be the State Department. The State Department, and I won't give you his response, but I said, you realize you have the opportunity because we did talk about how these endless wars are just insane. And I said, it's the State Department. And you can stop that nonsense. You can just fire them all.

And get people in here who don't think the same way Woodrow Wilson did over 100 years ago. He's very well aware of that. And things are going to change. I was, everything we talked about, he was laser focused. I mean, you know, I've met with presidents before. I met with Ronald Reagan. I met with George H.W. Bush. I met with George W. Bush.

And I met with Donald Trump. I have more confidence in Donald Trump now than any other president I've met with. The guy is super, super informed. It is a blessing. Honestly, it is a miracle that he lost in 2020. And I say that you listen to this show. You remember what I was saying? We're all doomed. We're all going to die. Okay. The country is over if we don't correct this in four years. Okay.

We would not have had this president, the man he is today, if it wasn't for his loss in 2020. He had four years to go, okay, what did I do wrong? How did they get me? How did they thwart me? How do I stop it? And how do I reverse this machine while dismantling this machine? He is laser focused on that.

And if he said it once to me, he said it a thousand times. Glenn, it's going to be breathtaking. It's coming. Change is coming. And it is coming fast. They are not going to know how to deal with it. I'm filled with confidence. And again, I say this with the caveat that, you know, the left will never say that.

But I say this with a caveat that I would say on any president, as long as he's constitutional, as long as he's following the Constitution and the laws, he's going to be remembered as one of the greatest presidents of all time because he's at least going to give it a college try. I mean, he's going for it. We talked about his appointments and what he had planned. There's some things that...

Well, let me take a one-minute break, and I'll share a little bit more with you here in a second. First, let me tell you about American financing. If all goes, even mostly to plan over the next few months and years,

we might start to see a booming American economy return sooner rather than later. He's got to make big changes, but that is paramount. He was, my gosh, he was beside himself about the inflation and gas. And he was like, they're bragging about how three and a half dollar gas is so great. I added a dollar 80 when I left. And he said, we were the world's leader in energy. And he's,

He said, we are quickly going to get there again. And he said, that will bring inflation under control in many of the ways. It won't fix it, but it will bring prices down. And that's one of the things he's working for. We have to do everything we can to get our house in order because there is trouble coming. They're not just...

These people have been working for this goal for 110 years. And if they would have lost, if we would have lost this election, if they would have won, it would have been complete. They're not going to work 110 years, lose to Donald Trump and then go, ah, you know what? It was a fair election, I guess. Well, I guess that's not what America wants. They are going to fight and we need to be in the best shape we can be as citizens in all regards.

If you are behind the eight ball with debt, especially high interest debt, I want you to call American Financing at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net. AmericanFinancing.net. You'd be shocked at how many options you have to get out from all of that high interest debt.

So call them now, 800-906-2440. It's AmericanFinancing.net. NMLS 182334. NMLSconsumeraccess.org. APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers. Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms. 10 seconds, station ID. It's the most wonderful time with the kids jingle bells. Everyone telling you be of good cheer.

When we're looking at the world stage, everything that's happening is happening because America vacated the leadership role. I hope Americans realize, without the consequences, at least so far, how close we are to seeing what happens to the world if America leaves the world stage.

And I don't want to be the world's policeman. I don't want to be involved in foreign wars. The president doesn't want to be involved in foreign wars. He wants to end them. He wants us to concentrate on us. But somebody has to be there to say, knock it off. And he's the guy, he's already doing that. It's a...

conversations of some conversations he has recently, and the world is being put on notice. I'm back very soon. You might want to change your behavior because everything you have been doing is not going to happen anymore. And I wish I could

express the things that he expressed to me because he would be so excited. You would be like, oh my gosh, this is fantastic. Isn't this sort of hopeful about the whole, you know, Russia nuclear war type of stuff too? Like why would Vladimir Putin with, you know, eight weeks left start what winds up being a nuclear war when he's got somebody who's going to be a lot more sane in office just a few weeks away. So because this is my impression that,

because he's being backed into a corner by Joe Biden. Yeah. Every red line. He does not want to do it, but he's getting pressure from the hardliners and

In his country. Right. To use just even tactical nukes, which we don't know what that would cause. Okay. Yeah. And what our response would be to if he drops a tactical nuke, Joe Biden will launch. He'll just launch. He will. He will. I mean, that's a massive step to a tactical nuke. I mean, that is like, it'll be a massive thing. Why would he do that? Knowing that this whole situation changes again.

Things are so dynamic. Look at what's happening. I wish I could get the president on the phone to just have the conversation. He explained it so well. Sure. Look what's happening with Turkey, with Syria, with Iran, Ukraine, Russia, North Korea, China, and South Korea. They're not disconnected. Okay. Yeah. They're all connected to each other. And he is...

He is confident that the Middle East will be solved. He's like, we'll get the Abrahamic Accords back. They've dealt with me before in the Middle East. They know. He said everything else around the world is so on the edge. He was really pissed.

He was like, none of this, I'd just like to remind you, none of this was happening four years ago. He said this is all because of incompetence, stupidity, and a complete misunderstanding of how the world works. And he again reiterated nuclear war is, I mean, every time I see him, and he must have said it three times last night,

Glenn Beck.

All right, winter is here. Well, maybe not so much here in Texas. Actually, I really liked Florida weather last night. And lots of places, it is really cold. And the cold of winter comes with a lot of car problems. It's really hard on your car. I don't know if you've been around, you know, a car repair shop lately. But they are, you know how we're having the Supreme Court here about mutilating children?

I think they're actually taking arms and legs now for car repairs. So we might want to think about that. If your car is no longer covered with warranty,

You could really use the sort of assurance that if you need car repairs, you're not going to lose your shirt or your arm or your leg in the process. The good news is that's what CarShield does. I have CarShield on my old trucks. They're out of warranty. CarShield helps Americans just like you protect their out-of-warranty vehicles with coverage on up to 5,000 parts and systems.

CarShield could save you hundreds or even thousands in repairs. Not to mention you'll have the access to the 24-7 roadside assistance and help with the flats, the lockouts, and the rental car options. CarShield, 800-227-6100. 800-227-6100.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Glad you're here. We're waiting for a connection here with Brad Wenstra. He is the select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic. He's the chairman from Ohio and

They released the final report evaluating the government's response to the pandemic. Five-year anniversary, COVID-19. What they've come out, now this is shocking. This is going to, if you're driving, pull over because you're going to be, whoa, whoa, whoa, I can't even see the road anymore. They have come to the conclusion that

COVID-19 leaked from a lab. What? Yeah. No, no, no. It was a wet market. No, no. It was a lab in the same city.

I can't do that. Oh, Wuhan. Oh, I remember that. Yeah, yeah. So it came from the lab. Came from the lab. And then they also have in the report, and he'll share this with us in just a few minutes, they also have in the report that our government covered it up and deleted emails, texts, and everything else

To cover up all of the connections to that Wuhan lab. Huh. That's shocking. Yeah, weird, isn't it? They also seem to say that Andrew Cuomo importing COVID positive patients into nursing homes, not a good move.

Shut up. Yeah. And, you know, it's such an incompetent move. It means he should almost immediately become mayor of New York City. There's no other thing that he should have. Listen. Just hand him the largest city in our country and our financial capital. Listen, we're talking Andrew Cuomo here. Look, so I killed a few people. That's what we do in New York. We off them. We don't want them. They're inconvenient. We let them sleep with the fishes, you know. Vote for me for mayor.

Sure, I killed people, but come on, who hasn't? Okay, so I think that's going to be fine. Yes. By the way, they're going to elect him mayor. They're totally going to elect him mayor. They're going to elect this murderer mayor. Speaking of New York murders, by the way, Glenn, did you see this today? The UnitedHealthcare CEO...

shot outside of the Hilton right by where we used to broadcast walking out at a quarter to seven in the morning where we used to walk by that right around that same time every single day. Wait a minute. Are you saying that New York is dangerous? Yeah. So I happen to be in front of the Hilton. He dies. What? What? Not necessarily me.

This is one of the few deaths I'm not blaming on Andrew Cuomo. Right. Was it just crime? They say it was a targeted attack. So I don't know. He was taken to the hospital, pronounced dead. What was his... Terrible story. Does he have any connection to the COVID stuff? I don't think... I'm only bringing this up because you mentioned New York and I know we're waiting on the guest. We should look in that. I think there's going to be a lot of people that...

suddenly have accidents with bullets whoa i don't know what happened to that guy he was with pfizer he was in perfect health and he ran into a bullet i mean i don't think this has anything to do with that it probably doesn't i'm just saying that i wouldn't be surprised the deep state is in full protection mode they are they know what's coming i'm telling you

Oh, I got to do another interview with Donald Trump. Maybe it doesn't drink. I was going to say maybe I could get him just a little tipsy. So he has those conversations that he has in private. He didn't tell me anything secret, but, you know, I don't want to reveal everything he said. But what he said was so exciting was like I actually looked at him. If you saw I think it went on it went viral last night on Twitter that

The two of us were doing the mega dance. Yeah, yeah. And I don't know if you saw. I think it was part of that. He said, I come into the room with Glenn, and I get a big fat hug from this guy. Because he walked in the room, and I said, dude, can we hug it out? And he said, absolutely. We won. And I said, I just can't.

believe the miracle and he said it was a miracle he said there was no chance of winning he said this whole thing was a miracle the way it happened he talked about ymca ymca helped make everything cool how did that happen um and i mean it

He's right. It was an absolute miracle. Not to mention he almost was shot in the head on national television. Well, we did discuss it. He showed me. He's like, look at... I was told on MSNBC that there was no damage to his ear. You saw damage to his ear? No, I saw damage to his ear. No, I don't think so. That might have been from the glass from the teleprompter. It was probably that. Even though the glass of the teleprompter didn't shatter. It's weird how that happened. Yeah, but he showed me, he's like...

He's like, man, sometimes it really hurts. And I said, really? And he's like, no. He said, but boy, does it bleed? He said, but they explained. He said, as the bullet was coming at me, he said, the outside of the bullet grazed my ear. He said, a quarter of an inch deep.

difference. He said, I probably wouldn't be talking to you today, even when I turned my head. He said, it just grazed my ear. Didn't go through it, grazed it. It's incredible. It's incredible. I said last night at Prager, you know, in the deal, I said, how many of us actually sat down at Thanksgiving and said a prayer and

of actual thanks. God shows up when we can't do it. When George Washington was stuck on Long Island and he needed to escape because we were all going to be killed.

This fog rolled in, and he was able to go right past the ships in the harbor, and they couldn't see him because of the fog. And as soon as they all got across the water, the fog lifted. It was an absolute miracle. That's what God does. He shows up when you can't do anything about it. There's no way out.

And then he says, and this is what I just want to make this clear. This is what he's probably saying to all of us right now. Uh-huh. Okay, so I did that for you. Now what are you going to do? Because he doesn't do the things we can do. He leaves it up to us. He saved this nation for a reason. And I really think Donald Trump, I mean...

If this guy remains constitutional, and I think he will, I have no reason to believe, but that's what everybody on the left, their fear is, but they don't even know the Constitution, so don't listen to them. But as long as this guy remains constitutional, he is very possibly in the category, I can't believe I'm saying this, in the category of George Washington or Abraham Lincoln. He is the anti-Woodrow Wilson candidate.

If he can reverse the machinery that Woodrow Wilson and FDR put in place, and remember, FDR, Wilson, everything was destroyed pretty much. They went into the universities. Coolidge got rid of all of that machinery that Wilson put in in the government. They got smart, and they were like, let's take over the education system and the law universities. And so that built for 10 years, and then—

uh fdr came in and he had a 12 you know 12 year term uh and that changed everything changed everything for america this guy can undo that and he has i'm i say this and i'm gonna i'm thinking about saying it without any context just to freak people out on the left donald trump has a 12-year term a 12-year plan okay he has a 12-year plan hmm

He has a 12-year plan. He has a 12-year plan. I mean, that would make sense if he were to win four years and maybe J.D. Vance were to win eight more. Oh, maybe that was it. I'm just saying this to freak them out. I mean, this is a well-thought-out plan. Every time I talk to him, I am filled with more confidence. I think, too, he...

Has... I don't want to say stumbled onto it because I think it was intentional. But like, I think this idea that he's come up with to essentially name all these people way before it's time for them to go through these confirmations is really, really smart. Oh, yeah. Because what would have happened...

If he would have named Pete Hegseth a week or Matt Gates a week after he was in office. No, no. Right. Like this problem, it may have blown up the same way. I don't know if Pete's going to hopefully he doesn't. But like Gates, it probably would have blown up the same way and he would have wasted his

weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks of his presidency. So it took him four years. The president has a minimum of 4,000 appointments to make. Okay. Imagine hiring 4,000 people. It's a lot. Okay.

So he has to appoint for last time he appointed 4,000. This time he has 9,000 appointments to make. It took him two to two and a half years to get all of those people confirmed to the 4,000. And he didn't even make all of them. All right. He didn't even get there. He's going to have all of these, all 9,000 nominated in place when he raises his hand. He's not, he knows that.

I have 100 days. Yep.

I'm glad because that's really what he has. Yeah. And the only something will happen. Something crazy will be every it's the Mike Tyson thing. It's like everyone's got the plan until they're punched in the face and something's going to punch him in the face. We know it. It happens to every president. I don't know. I agree. I mean, he said, he said, Glenn, they're going to pull out every stop. So they are not going. They're not giving. They're not walking away. Even like a democratic tactic. I mean, like a global event. We have no idea what is around the corner. I mean, we didn't know COVID was around the corner.

I don't know. I talked to him last night. I can see some things that could go very, very wrong in the next 40 days that he's very concerned about that are not country. But, you know, I don't think I don't think the left has any idea what's coming their way.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We have a shortened time with Brad Wenstrup. He is the chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. And I've got a ton of questions. First of all, Brad, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for everything that you guys have done on looking into COVID. And I'm surprised. It apparently came from a lab in some place called Wuhan? Yeah.

Yeah, you're shocked, aren't you? Yeah. It's amazing. I tell you that Christmas music, I was glad to hear it, but it doesn't fit my mood.

It actually fits mine because I think something is going to be done about this. When I saw that Fauci's senior advisor deleted federal COVID-19 records and all of the things he did with EcoHealth Alliance, is there a chance people go to jail?

Yeah, there should be. And EcoHealth Alliance is a good place to start. But, you know, Glenn, I've followed you for a long time. You know, we both grew up with the beginning of Superman in black and white fighting for truth, justice, the American way. And that's what we're fighting for here because

it just doesn't exist. And you know what we really have found is obviously China had a cover-up. I mean, that's not a surprise. Everyone knows that by now. But people suspect it, and we've got so much proof that there's cover-up within our government, and then certainly cover-up from these international scientists who do gain-of-function research, dangerous research,

who have every reason to want this thing to be said to come from nature because they don't want the blood on their hands, that this is the type of thing. But even in 2012, Dr. Fauci was asked, "Well, aren't you concerned about a pandemic if it gets out of the lab?"

And this is in an interview in 2012. So I think the benefits outweigh the risk. Well, I would beg to differ. I don't think the benefits do outweigh the risk. You haven't prevented a pandemic. You've created it. And you've developed a technology that can be used by adversaries like China to develop bioweapons. I mean, this is really, really bad. And EcoHealth Alliance, I mean, the things that go on in our government today are unbelievable. You know, the...

Fauci's deputy, Dr. Morins, is saying things in his emails like, hey, email me on my Gmail because I'm getting FOIA, right? And I'll hide these things. We'll keep things out. We don't want the New York Times. Well, guess what? He also wrote one later. Oh, it turns out they can still get these emails. You know, the deceit was unbelievable. There's no oversight process on the grants.

It's just money going out the door. Fauci even said, well, I get billions of dollars in grants, and I only just sign them. An advisory board okays them. I can't see what's in them. It's like, where does the buck stop? With anybody? Oh, it's over in compliance. I don't have anything to do with that. We had no oversight over doing dangerous research in a foreign lab of an adversary, a research that has the potential to create a bioweapon.

So, Congressman, I'm sorry, I'm up against a network break. Could I have you back? I'd even like to do a full podcast with you on Interrupted so we could go through this because...

This is so important that this is all cleaned up. Thank you for your work. And please, I'd love to have you back when we have time. I'd be glad to do the podcast. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Congressman Brad Wenstrup, he is the chairman on the coronavirus pandemic. They released all of the information yesterday.

This is the Glenn Beck Program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Well, today is a very big day. The Supreme Court is about to hear a major case surrounding transgender children and gender-affirming care issues.

Can you castrate a kid? Can you sterilize a kid? Can you mutilate their bodies? This should be so easy, but what's the case? Somebody who has done all of the deep, deep work on this, Mary Margaret Olihan. She is with The Daily Wire. She's a senior reporter. She's joining us in 60 seconds. Stand by.

Terrible news about my basketball prize picks lineup from the other night. I had Trey Young, Trey Murphy, and Terry Rozier, and I only got two of the three right. So what happens?

So she wrote the book D-Trans, True Stories of Escaping the Gender Ideology Cult. And she is really one of the leading experts on what's happening legally and what the transitions mean and gender affirming care. What a joke that is.

Mary Margaret Olihan is with us now. Mary, you're going to be at the Supreme Court during, you're there now. Are you going to be actually listening to the argument? Hey, Glenn, and I am here now. You might hear a lot of background noise here. We've got a Daily Wire reporter in the media room, so he'll be able to hear the arguments.

I know. I know. What? Tell me what they're going to hear, what the case is and what you think the odds are that this is going to go the way of sanity.

Yes, so this is a case that actually started after Matt Walsh exposed Vanderbilt Medical University pushing these transgender procedures on kids and just tagging them as big money makers. And then a lot of Tennessee lawmakers have said they were inspired to introduce the law by Matt's investigation that is now at the center of this Supreme Court case which bans transgender intervention for those impunity blockers for kids.

So now we have the ACLU and the Biden administration aiming to stop that law. And they're arguing to the Supreme Court that it constitutes sex discrimination to deny children these so-called gender-affirming hormones since we might give these hormones to kids who aren't having gender dysphoria. They're also going to try and argue potentially that this is a parental rights violation of all things.

that parents should be able to transition their kids regardless of whether it's good for them. Mary Margaret, I'm so sorry. It's so hard to understand you. The line connection here is so bad.

uh, so we're just going to have to kind of cut it short, um, because I'm having even a hard time understanding. Um, what, what are the odds going in that this is a, a case we're going to win? Odds are looking good, Glenn. That's what I'm hearing. The, the odds are good. The odds are good. Uh,

I hope so. What does it mean if they do go that way? What changes? What decides your punishment? What decides that holding to the...

Mary Margaret, I'm sorry. I'm so bummed. I've been so excited to talk to you about this, but the connection is so bad and the noise around you, we can just barely understand you. Um, maybe tomorrow or something, we can get an update from you, uh, in a quieter place. Um,

Mary Margaret Olihan, who is, she has been following this. She is the expert. Her and Matt Walsh are the experts on this. And it's going to the Supreme Court today.

I can't imagine how anyone can make the case. Yeah, a 14-year-old can decide they want to be sterilized. That's insanity. You can't drive at 14. You can't own a gun. You can't go to war. I mean, you can't vote, but you can be castrated or sterilized. It's insanity. Yeah.

I, you know, I was thinking about this case a little bit and because obviously I have a pretty strong viewpoint. Really? Where do you stand on this one? I don't think it should be happening. I did, though, think, you know, from I think there's a chance because, you know, you're going to get three Supreme Court justices that are going to side with whatever the trans lobby wants. You've got three votes immediately. Yeah.

And I don't know who, I don't know exactly how it would fall, but I do think that there is a chance that a couple of conservative justices say basically like, sure, this is nuts, but if you want to stop it, you need to pass a law.

Like, I think there's a chance that they say, like, look, this isn't our job to legislate this, even if we think it's nuts. You know, like, you have to pass a law if you want to stop this. And I think there is a chance that that happens. I'm not as...

I'm not super sure that the court is going to rule in the way that we're going to like policy-wise on this one. I could be wrong. Maybe I'm just being overly worried. No, I think that makes a lot – I hadn't thought of it from that angle. That makes a lot of sense. Because it is obviously crazy that this would be a possibility. But unless the Constitution – they find a constitutional argument that says –

we have to step in here. I think that what they're going to say is, look, you know, pass a law to make this happen. I think the same way... I wonder, because the Constitution... See if we can get Mike Lee on real quick. Just call a senator, see if it'll come on. Well, maybe. I mean, you know...

What's he doing? You know, what's he really? He's probably preparing like a 47 tweet thread about exactly policy. You've never even thought of in your life. That's what he's doing. Like fireworks regulations to see if we can get somebody who knows the Constitution better than we do. The Constitution has got to be. It wouldn't make sense. You know,

beating your children or cutting their toes off there's there's there is no law that says you can't cut the toes off your children oh this that's what the Mike Lee threat is about it's about cutting your toes off children he says it shouldn't be allowed right yeah constitutional I mean right there should be there's some limits obviously there's got to be some common sense here yeah the constitution is saying that

You know, I mean, we're not all morons or progressives. Right, right. It's not a suicide pact, famously. I think there is also that idea that it depends on how this is presented as... Because I think if... Let me put it this way. If the argument that this is healthcare is accepted...

I think they will rule that you have to pass a law. How are you going to do that? You've seen the new results are, you know, it increases suicide if you don't get it. No, no, no. The opposite is true.

If you have transgender surgery and transgender care, you're more likely to kill yourself. I mean, the depression rates, the suicide rates actually go up when you're under 18. There's no...

evidence now. And I think that's, and the world is ahead of us on that. I don't think they should accept the idea that this is healthcare, but like if they say that this is essentially a treatment that one state could say yes to, and another state could say no to, I think they will say, well, you know, like this needs to be legislated. So. Okay. So, I mean, we come back down to let's just, you know, abortion.

abortion, there is this step that until we change the hearts and minds of people, you're never going to get rid of abortion until we change people's minds and hearts. Okay. You can't legislate your way out of it. Yeah. You can, you can improve the situation with legislation. You can, you can. And one of the ways is to get half of the States at least to stand up and go, ah, not here. Okay. That's a nice step in the right direction. Yes. Agreed. Um,

But this, I mean, and I don't know how to balance this because the other is just killing a child. That's abortion, killing. This one is just mutilating and sterilizing children. That just seems so...

Nazi. And it also seems almost like, you know, leeches. Doesn't it? Doesn't it give you the idea that like it's an old timey thing that could you could see being on some poster in 1706? 1925, the first transgender surgery happened in Berlin. Hmm.

1925. A guy claimed he was a woman. He wanted every part cut out of him and off him. They did it by 1929 after like his 14th surgery. They sewed a uterus inside of him and his body strangely rejected that. You're kidding me.

Really? Yeah. It wasn't into the new uterus? No, no. Well, he was eight months into pregnancy. So do you think the uterus itself was transphobic? Like, is that the problem here? Yeah, yeah. It was like, I reject this body. I have a generally speaking negative viewpoint of German medicine in that era. Yeah.

Strangely, we agree on that. What are the odds? I don't know. It's weird. You know what happened to that doctor?

That doctor, because the Nazis came after him and the United States rescued him, brought him over to the United States. I think you could be wrong on this. You have to check. But I think he went even to John Hopkins for a while. And then we then we sent him all around the world to teach transgenderism. So, OK, good for us. Good, good, good. There's a non-Nazi doctor. Yeah, pretty Nazi enough.

We got on our ranks. But I think if it does come down to, like, they see this as a healthcare treatment, there will be an issue with this. Because, like, if they were to say, if there was a law that would... There's no evidence. I agree with that. All the evidence now is coming out. I mean, there's a reason...

Every country in the world is like, you know what? I think we're going to stop going the opposite way. Yeah. Right. Because they're going the opposite way. Evidence is becoming very clear. Yeah. I mean, if there was a thing that we're like, well, you know, some Ivermectin, some alternative covid treatment. Right.

They would, I think, correctly say you have a right to be able to do this. So if they see it as health care, unless there's something specifically banning it, a law, I think that there will be there will be issues. I just I feel like at the end of the day, there's going to be five votes for.

But I'm not certain of it. And I could definitely see it only being only five votes. You know, you know, there will only be three votes. There are automatically be three votes for whatever the trans lobby wants. That is 100 percent guaranteed. But do you pull over a Roberts? Do you pull over a Kavanaugh? You pull over an ACB? I mean, I don't think it's impossible that this winds up happening.

So I don't know. I'm a little more nervous than maybe some others are on this one. But, you know, it could just be my general pessimism. Somebody said to me last night, I was talking to somebody, and we were walking, and I just met him, and he said, you know, my friend said years ago,

something about 9-11, and he's like, I'm crazy. He said, I said, you're crazy. He said, what do you think? And I said, I think it's crazy, but I don't know anymore. I have no idea what's true anymore. Yeah. Gorsuch is an interesting one on this, because Gorsuch...

if any out of all of them probably i don't know i hear he likes the ladies oh yeah there you go he comes at these things though i think from maybe the most libertarian perspective of all of the judges and like if you come at like you know again like you might you could see a parental rights argument that they're gonna make how does a libertarian

Except the idea that the parents can make a life changing, non alterable decision for a child that takes away their rights to have sex.

To have any enjoyment, to never, ever be to stop pharmaceuticals, to to mutilate their body. That doesn't sound libertarian to me. It doesn't. Although, you know, we like you could see a an argument made like we've had these cases before where there'll be like a cancer treatment situation and like the parents life and death.

Right, but what I'm saying is, you know, life and death, right? Like where the parents are saying, you know what? No, this very obvious treatment that everyone else says is going to work, we say we don't want. And a lot of times people will side with the parents on a parental rights argument, even if it winds up being the death of the child. Yeah, I will. And that's because you're coming from a parental rights, individual rights situation. Because I'm coming from a religious right.

You have a right to believe in the, I think you're foolish. God, God does what you can't do. So you do what you can do and he'll make up the rest. You know what I mean? If you're like, you know what? I just chopped my arm off, but I'm not going to put a tourniquet on because God's going to save me. You're going to bleed to death. Right. Okay. So, but you have a right. If it's a true religious belief, right?

to raise your family that way. I don't agree with it. I'm very uncomfortable saying, you know, I got to let them do what they do, but this is mutilation. That's death. Okay. We know cancer. You're probably going to die. There are miracles, but you're probably going to die. But if you firmly religiously believe I cannot use pharmaceuticals, I trust in the Lord. Okay.

I got to let you make your decision. That's what the constitution says. However, I want to mutilate my kid because they think they're a cat. And so I want to sew six little teats on their chest and

I'm going to say a big fat no to that one. You're crazy. There's no constitutional right to be crazy and so little cat teats on your child. You can milk anything with nipples. I know where we learn that. Yeah, I understand that. Where are the nipples on almonds or cashews back in?

back in just a second. First, your dog's kibble food was alive once. It was. It had all sorts of healthy things in it, like vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, all the good stuff. Then the government came along and said, you know what? This should be able to sit on a shelf in somebody's warehouse or maybe your garage for two and a half years and still be good for your dog.

What? There's no... Can you imagine feeding your children something that can sit on the shelf for two and a half years? Robert F. Kennedy would personally come to your house and slap you silly.

It's her second public performance. And he said, do you have anybody advising her on how to do that? And I said, no, no. Would you like to help? So he's actually coming to the Grand Ole Opry. He's going to talk to her probably today or tomorrow and help her understand, well, how do you really do this? She's a Broadway-esque performer, and she's great, but...

It's a different thing, right? Totally different. Yeah. I don't know. I don't have any talents. So I wouldn't know. Not a truer word has been spoken. Thank you. Thank you. By the way, the the Trump D.A. pick, you know, the the what was he the sheriff from Florida?

Gosh darn it, we lost him. How did that get to that point even? That's surprising. I don't know. It didn't last long. Didn't last long. Yeah. You know, I think there's, I mean, he's making...

four to nine thousand appointments. There are going to be some. Oh, yeah. It might just be that. Yeah. And, you know, some of them are hit and miss. I mean, that's why it's good to get out in front of it, right? Yeah. The Pete Hegseth thing. I mean, how do you get past that letter from his mom? However, that one I think is silly. His mom actually came out today and said he's a changed man. Glenn Beck.

Sometimes, sometimes I cannot believe the life I lead. You know, sometimes I don't know if you've ever had this feeling to where something happens to you and you're like, this is my life. You know, how has this happened? Yesterday, I went to a Mar-a-Lago and I was with the president. I was speaking on behalf of Dennis Prager, trying to help raise money for Prager University, by the way.

Please, please pray hard for Dennis Prager. He is doing better. What happened again? He fell in the shower, hit his head, and it snapped. C3, C4. And so he has been on a ventilator up until yesterday or the day before. First time he actually spoke was yesterday because he's been on a vent. I didn't realize it was that serious. Oh, it's really serious. But he's doing better.

and he's moving. They thought he could be permanently paralyzed, but it looks like he's not going to be, but he has a long road ahead of him. He's very optimistic. I mean, he's Dennis Prager. He's such a good guy. So please pray for him. But they were doing a big fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago, and so I was there, and I was asked to talk about history, bring some history artifacts from the vault.

So I did. And yesterday, you know, I don't write my speeches. I just kind of go through the vault and I'm like, nah, I want to tell that story and that story and that story. So I grabbed a bunch of stuff and didn't really put a lot of thought into it until we started approaching Mar-a-Lago. Because now if you've ever been there to get to Mar-a-Lago, you have to cross a bridge. It's this big, beautiful bridge. Well, let's close now. You don't go across that bridge. I mean, it's,

I'd hate to be a neighbor of the president right now. Or to be a member of the club. Yeah. It must be challenging. It is a nightmare right now. And I'm happy. I'm really happy. Obviously a good thing. The Secret Service are, they are a completely different group of people than they used to be. I still want to see changes at the top.

But they're at least doing their job really well. So you like two blocks before you get to that bridge, you have to have clearance to continue to drive. And so you get to the bridge, get final clearance, and then you drive over the bridge and Mar-a-Lago is on the other side of the bridge. And usually you go by the back service entrance and you go in around a roundabout and then you go through the front.

The front is just, I mean, it's like Secret Service, you know, trucks and everything else just blocking everything. When we landed at the airport, I saw his plane. They surrounded it with old school buses now. So it's parked outside at the airport, but all these old school buses are wrapping the plane so you can't see anything except like the flag on the tail.

I mean, the security around him now is absolutely incredible. As it should be. As it should be. So you have to go in. And so we come around and we try to get into the back entry. And they said, you got to turn around. You got to go across the street and go through security. And we're like, okay. So we turn around. We go across the street in through this parking lot where they have these tents set up.

And you drive into these tents. It was weird. It was almost like a car wash in a way. And Secret Service, you know, guns, everything, everywhere. And you drive in and they ask you for all your ID. Then they say, any weapons in the car? And that's when I realized I said no. And then we drove on and I was like,

I think I answered that wrong. And so we drew drove into the second tent and they make you open the hood of your car and they, it's not, it's, it's not like TSA, you know, TSA is like, yeah, well you just put your hands up and we're going to scan you and they're not looking at anything.

These guys, they open up the hood of every car. There's only about 80 cars that were allowed into Mar-a-Lago. Usually you can park across the street and everything else. You have to take a shuttle for like five miles. But we were allowed to park.

And so we go in to the second tent. They open up the hood. They open up the doors. They bring the dogs out. They ask you questions. They're actually, two of them, looking at the engine, looking to see is there anything in there. The dog is smelling everything. And I said, I may have answered a question incorrectly. They asked if there were any weapons in the car. And they're not. But I'm doing a speech, and I did bring some. And the guy, he knew who I was, and he's like,

mr beck just tell them across the street when you get there so we go across the street and when you get there secret service everywhere and you open up the door uh and first they tell you stay in your car dogs again then you open the door you get out uh and they ask you again do you have any weapons of any kind uh on you or in your car and i

And I said, and luckily, again, they knew who I was. And I said, well, kind of. And the guy went, kind of? And I said, well. It's not a good answer. I know, not a good answer. And I said, well, I'm giving a speech on history, and I brought some things that

And I wasn't really thinking about security when I put them. And I told him, he said, how the hell did you get this on a plane? And I said, long story. So I said, the first thing I have is I have Braveheart's longsword from the movie Braveheart, his broadsword. And they went...

you brought a sword? And I said, well, I mean, on the bright side, it would be pretty hard to smuggle that close to the president. It's not like we're going to have a sword fight. And they're just laughing and they're like, okay. And I said, but it's a prop. And he immediately puts his finger in his ear and he's like,

I'm going to need some more authority up here, please. So all the head guys of Secret Service start coming. They just swarm the table. And he's like, this is metal. This is an actual sword. I said, yeah, but it was a movie prop. It's an actual sword. We're going to have to think about this one. You leave that with us. And I said, okay, this one might be a little more difficult. And they said, than the sword? And I said...

Yeah, and I'm unwrapping it out of this case, and I said...

It's a rat. Now, there's about 15 of them at this time around this table. Not 15, Secret Service agents. Secret Service guys, because they're just looking like, this is crazy. This has never been done before. This is like the best story they've had in a while. Well, they were taking pictures of everything. They were laughing. They were like, this is now lore in Secret Service. And I said, it's a rat. And they...

They laughed and said, what's special about the rat that you want to bring near the president? And I said, well, it was made by Ian Fleming during World War II by order of Winston Churchill. And they said, okay. And I pull it out of the box and I said, and it has a bomb in its butt. And they said, one of them just put their head in their hands and went,

You have a rat from World War II that has a bomb in its butt. And I said, yeah, but I mean, it hasn't gone off. It's been a while. Right, right, right. I mean, I think it's probably inert. I can't guarantee it. And I said, you know, it's...

I'm just being honest with you. It's not something if I had designs on hurting anybody that I would bring a rat to throw at their feet, hoping that it would go off. I mean, I don't, you know. Yeah. And they're like, okay, the rat.

Let's x-ray the rat. So they x-ray the rat and there's wires and everything else in this. I didn't even know there were wires in the rat, but it's all wired up in the right. Cause it was made by Ian Fleming by the guy he based Q on in the James Bond movies. And, um, and they looked at me, they kind of huddled around and talked and they looked at me and the head guy comes over and he said,

We really don't know what to do here. They've never had this situation before? Yeah. Why don't they just look in the handbook? It's not a drill. What happens if someone with a rat bomb comes in? And they said, we really don't know exactly what to do here. We're going to need to hold these. What time do you speak? And I said, 830. And they said,

We'll hold them and we'll let you know by 8 o'clock. So 8 o'clock, and when he came at 8 o'clock, I'm getting ready, they're micing me up, and the guy says, this is legendary, Glenn. I just want you to know, every Secret Service agent here took a picture of the sword and the rat and has been sending it to every Secret Service agent that they know. And so they said...

We have to remain with the sword and the rat. And so there was a... That's understandable. I totally understand. Yeah, that makes sense. I totally understand. I wanted to say, but these guys were really on top of it. But what did come to mind was...

You missed the guy on the roof, but the rat. But these were all the good guys that are actually doing their job. I feel like the bomb rat is one of the few things that does stand out more than the guy on the roof. I feel like that was. Yes, maybe. But if you're, I mean, if I'm just walking up and I'm just, you know, attending a rally.

And I'm like, they're like, you have anything in your pockets? Yeah, I got a dead rat with a bomb in his butt. They would notice that. They would notice that for sure. And you're not bringing it in. In fact, you may be held back for questioning. But I just want you to know, if you're listening and you're from Iran, don't try the rat thing or the sword thing because you ain't getting through. You're not getting through unless you have a very good story.

So this is the point where you said, I can't believe this is my life. This is the point that I said, and my wife said, why would you bring the rat? That is a good question. And I'm like, it's the greatest story. And I was actually more worried about the sword as we were driving. Because the rat obviously is not going to explode. This is not an actual... Well, as I said that to them, it did occur to me,

I don't know. I've never tried to set it off. That's true. It is a bomb in the butt. I don't know if it's inert. It's never gone off in 90 years. You've been carrying it around the country. Yeah. In a padded box, though. It's not like, oops, I dropped the rat. I've never thrown it at the feet accidentally of somebody. Right. Hey, let's see if this thing goes. So they're like, is this inert? And I'm like,

It hasn't gone off, you know, since Churchill. So, yes. I'm going to come out and just say you should not be allowed around the president for any reason. It did cross my mind. It did cross my mind. And then when he came into the room, about 40 Secret Service, I mean, there were like four of them came in and they came right to me. The president is going to be coming soon.

through the room here in a minute and uh we'd like you he'd like to speak to you but we'd like you to stand right here i was standing right next to a secret service guy and then he came in and i said dude can we just hug it out and he's like of course we won and so we hugged each other and i thought if i only had the rat

It's so weird. It's such a weird situation. I mean, imagine being under the pressure to deal with actual threats, not you. Actual threats all the time. All the time. I mean, just around his house, what you're describing going into his house, everyone that comes to visit him has to go through that. It is a... I'm convinced, and I've paid my fair share in taxes in the last 60 years. Really? Yeah. I am convinced that...

All of the tax money that I have put in and everyone connected with me has put in, I don't think will cover the kind of protection they have on the president right now. I don't think...

I can't even imagine what it costs. I've never seen anything like it. And it is absolutely what the Secret Service... I am proud for the very first time of Secret Service. They are doing an incredible job

I do would like to say I did get a bomb with a rat. Pass them by. Stop. I will say that one of the things that made me a little more confident, even after all the crazy stuff that happened over the summer, was, I mean, Trump was pretty consistent in his praise of the agents, at least around him. Yeah, he never said anything. He was never worried like so many others were. Here's what crossed my mind.

You don't say bad things about the people who are protecting you. However, I said to him, have you considered adding some private security to this? He's like, no, they have me. They have me. That's good. He trusts them. That's good. All right. Back in just a minute. Let me talk to you about pre-born. We all make mistakes in life. That's a given. But you try not to make a mistake so terrible that you're going to have to live with it for the rest of your life. But what if you do? That's where Jesus comes in.

We are never going to end abortion through legislation. We have to change the hearts and minds. So there are so many women in America today living with the decision that that they made years ago to abort abortion.

Most women, like 60, 68% of them do not want to have an abortion. They just feel trapped. They don't feel like there's anyone in their life that supports them. Everybody's like, just abort it. They've been told that it's not a baby. So that kind of gives them the out mentally. But the mental problems that happen after for the rest of their life is astounding. New studies are out.

Right now, Preborn is saving 200 babies every day by just offering free ultrasounds and help to those moms.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Welcome to the program. I want you to know I was going for laughs here. I want you to know that stuff did happen, but they took it extraordinarily seriously. I mean, the bomb squad people came out. I don't mean to joke about the Secret Service or the or the security of the president. The president is safe. And I am so proud and grateful that.

to the Secret Service and what they're doing right now. They are on top of it. The Glenn Beck Program. Let me talk to you about Rough Greens. Stu, you care about your dogs. I do. You claim to. I do. I do. I love my doggies. And you feed your dogs kibble food and Rough Greens. Rough Greens, yeah. On top of it. That's right.

It's a supplement, I guess you'd call it, and you sprinkle it on top of the food. Kind of brings the old dead food to life. Did they ever have a problem? Were they ever picky eaters?

One of my dogs is a picky eater, yeah. Uno would like never eat. I mean, would just stand there in defiance and be like, I know you're starving. Eat. Wouldn't eat. Now, with rough greens, gobbles his food. We never have an empty, unless my wife is traveling and she is gone and it's just me and him. He's like...

I don't like you as much. I'm not eating in protest until she comes back. Rough Greens. The folks at Rough Greens are confident your dog's going to love it and you'll see the difference in your dog.

Glenn 33. All right. We have some, I think, really exciting things to talk to you about next. Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. Welcome to the program. Earlier today, we had the head of the subcommittee on the COVID scandal. They've just released a report. I've got some extra news to report on this one, Nate. I just, I don't know. It's so very, very satisfying. We'll talk about that and so much more in 60 seconds. First...

Every time it seems you turn around, some other company out there is finding out the hard way just what happens when you go too woke. The good news is, all that's coming to an end. Spoiler alert, it's not working for them. Bet they wish they wouldn't have gone down that road and learned what Patriot Mobile already knew. Their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always. And that seems weird,

for a phone company. But honestly, one of the reasons why they started this phone company is they knew they could charge you less. They could give you the same exact coverage that you have. So you'd save money. It'd be good. But also they want to take a lot of their profits and pour it into things that support the Constitution and our rights. That is really their goal.

And they do it by giving you good service. But their goal is to make sure America stays America. Will you join this mission? Join patriotmobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT. If you use the promo code FRIDAY, because they believe...

Okay, so earlier today, we had Congressman Brad Wenstrup on with us. He is the chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. He's a Republican from Ohio. They've been doing yeoman's work, trying to get to the truth about what happened with COVID. You're going to be shocked, honestly.

Hold your chin because your chin and your mouth may fall so far open when you hear this news it could go to the floor. It apparently came from a lab in Wuhan. This, what I'm going to tell you right now, is non-classified. And because I had such a short time with Brad on the air because we were up against this network clock,

We didn't get to everything, and he asked to hold on and talk to my producers after we got off the air, and he said, tell Glenn, this is just the declassified stuff that has come out. He said, the classified stuff, and it's going to come out, he said, is jaw-dropping. He said, it is so far out of control, our government and Big Farm, and gosh, wouldn't it be a shame to

to have somebody like Robert F. Kennedy say, I think this should be declassified.

I talked to the president yesterday about RFK, and he said to me, Glenn, there is a problem with something. I don't know what it is. He thinks it's food and pharmaceuticals. But just with autism, the numbers are staggering. It is out of control. And he's convinced. And so I told him, give me the science, show me, prove it, and let's fix it if that's what it is.

And he's also very clear about transparency. And I think if Robert F. Kennedy comes out and says, you know what, the coronavirus pandemic thing really needs to be declassified, I think Donald Trump is going to declassify it and it is going to expose everything.

Everybody, everybody is involved in this. The intelligence community, the Justice Department, the cover-up alone from the NIH and Fauci's office. We know now that they were shredding and deleting information and emails. They were intentionally, and even during the subcommittee in the last year or so, while this was going on, the...

The Democrats were still trying to block getting any information on this. The senior advisor for Fauci unlawfully deleted federal COVID-19 records. You don't do that. He then shared non-public information about NIH grant processes with EcoHealth Alliance. This is everything we said about

We were, I think, the first ones to come out with a special and a giant chalkboard to show you exactly what happened. We were almost dropped entirely from YouTube because of it. And then Steve Dace and, gosh, what's his name? I feel horrible. That wrote the book about, you know.

How we're turning into Nazis. Oh, Daniel Horowitz. Yeah, Daniel Horowitz. Then they came out with a book. And almost all of this stuff now is being proven. And that's just the declassified stuff. This is... We have a real problem. Our government is completely out of control. And I am... I just want to remind you. The Declaration of Independence says...

Hey, dear King George, we really feel bad. You know, we tried to talk to you about some things and we really have to break away, but we apologize that we're wanting to do that, but we feel we have to tell you why.

This revolution that we started is unlike any other revolutionary document ever produced in the history of the world. Read BLM's revolutionary documents. We're going to end this. We're going to destroy the traditional family. We're going to do this and this and this. Ours started with, hey, we have a respect for God and mankind, right?

And we think we need to tell you why. And then it doesn't go into because you suck. It goes into because we see things completely different. We hold things that you don't believe to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, yada, yada. And then it goes into, and governments are instituted among men to protect those rights. And paraphrasing, whenever a government...

begins to injure those rights or harm those rights, it is the right and the duty of the public to overthrow that government and replace it with a government more likely to protect those rights. That's what happened, gang. We just went through that paragraph of the Declaration of Independence.

What this mandate was is we are overthrowing this out-of-control government that is inflicting damage on our rights, and we're replacing it with a bunch of outsiders, hopefully, that will be better equipped to protect our rights. So we did this the right way. This is

fantastic news. Our founders saw the solution and we actually did it. Now we just have to make sure because these guys are going to fight with it. There is so much money involved. I mean, you want to just think of all the wars that are breaking out right now. All of the wars. You have South Korea.

You have North Korea, China violating South Korea. You have China with their drones. I don't know if you've seen the video of their drone armies. Oh my, our aircraft carriers are over. Mark my words, the next global war, the next serious war, aircraft carriers are going to be the horse of World War I. It's over. They're going to take Taiwan.

Possibly if Trump gets in, there's a chance of that stopping or when Trump gets in. But what are we doing? We're depleting everything we have. We built, rebuilt our armed forces under Trump. Now we don't have enough to fight a two front war. We just don't have enough. We don't have it. We've given it away. Why?

Because the military-industrial complex says, you know what, why don't you give your stuff away? We'll make more for you. You know the money that is involved? Think of Jason Bourne. Those movies where people are killed because of small things like a billion dollars or power, that is happening in almost every industry today.

and every big business around the world, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, intelligence, the military-industrial complex, the education complex, everything. When these things are exposed, people are going to be in danger on both sides. You're going to just start seeing people, ooh, accidentally falling out of a window. I'm convinced of it because it is so corrupt.

But the good news is we are on it. And the best thing that can happen is to release all of these documents. And this is the one thing I do like about RFK. RFK doesn't trust the government. He does not trust the intelligence agencies. He doesn't trust the government because he's seen two murders and assassinations in his own family.

He knows what deep state can do. And I am absolutely convinced. I was never convinced of this before. I am absolutely convinced. Oswald killed him, but that was an operation. I'm absolutely convinced that was an operation. He was going to cut all of the endless wars that they were preparing for. Donald Trump is in that same situation again.

The good news is Donald Trump is not alone. John F. Kennedy was kind of alone, had his brother, but kind of alone. But remember what Hoover did. That's why Kash Patel is so critical in the FBI. Kash Patel is, they are critical.

They are pooping their pants, I mean, all day long. I don't know how many changes of underwear they have to bring to Congress and the Senate and to the FBI building every day, but they got to be changing their underpants a lot because that guy is serious. I talked to his wife last night, and she said Cash wanted to come up and make sure that I said hello, and I said, you make sure you tell him

I am 100% behind him because we talked on TV.

months ago, and he talked about, I wouldn't have released the JFK papers. He said, I can't explain why, but I saw them. I think that was a right decision. But everything else, it just, it needs to be declassified. Everything just needs to be declassified. This is too secretive. So there's no accountability. That guy's going to go in, and he's going to take things like this, and people are going to go to jail.

This is the kind of revolution that our founders wanted. It is a peaceful revolution, but they're not stopping their fight. We are in for, and I hate to keep harping on this, but this is why I'm so concerned about global war, because this isn't just an American problem. This is happening everywhere.

This is everyone, every country, every Western country has this going on. Look at Canada. Look at Trudeau. What do you think is hiding in the closet of Trudeau? What do you think is hiding in the closets of the Labour Party and even the Conservative Party over in England or France or Germany?

That doesn't have the kind of constitutional oversight like we have. These secrets are everywhere, and they're connected. We have our work cut out for us. But I just have to tell you, I feel this from every part of my being. It is going to be very, very tough, but God is with us. And Donald Trump is serious, and he is looking for—

I don't get the feeling he is married to any one person that he's appointing. He is married to the mission, and the mission is get it done, get it done completely, and get it done fast before they can even react to cut our heads off. Cut the heads off of this snake, and he's serious about it. All right, back in just a minute.

This is the season of giving and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is outdoing itself as always. They're giving away dozens of mortgage-free homes to deserving families all over the United States during their season of hope.

Let me tell you about one of the previous recipients, U.S. Captain David Christopher. He was in the Army. David was catastrophically injured in an accident the day before he was set to deploy to South Korea. He's been living with the difficulties of that injury ever since and

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation, with your help, stepped up and gave him a mortgage-free smart home. David said this has enabled him to help other veterans, which he now believes is his purpose in life. He said it made him feel truly appreciated for the first time in his military service, and he's paying it forward and continues to help others in similar situations.

That's all because of you. Our veterans and our first responders deserve so much better than what they get. And the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is working to live up to that. We want our government to do less. We have to do more. And we mean it. They don't. Help heroes and their families now. Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org. That's T, the number two T, dot org. 10 seconds, station ID. They're the likely winners.

I'll be home. Number one on iTunes. It's Home for Christmas. By Cheyenne Grace. What an accomplishment. Number one Christmas, not number three overall. I just want to point that out to you. Yeah. I was very clear on this. You were not very clear on this. I was very clear. I went for the tapes. I mean, I can bring the evidence. Do you want me to embarrass you? We already played the... Yeah.

Yeah. Let me just let me tell you, I have the evidence. OK. OK. Do you want me to embarrass you with it? Because I can. We've already played you saying. Sarah, could you please play what I brought to the table today? No matter what you try to twist this into on a later date, probably the second or third of December. I want to be very clear. It has to be number one on the main iTunes chart.

Not number one on a specific genre like Polka or Christmas. And to be clear, it has to beat other albums like the soundtrack to the motion picture Wicked Kendrick Lamar. The Party Never Ends by Juice WRLD. I said that. And also the separate Broadway production of Wicked. I said that. And Stuart, I know what you're going to do.

And I want to be perfectly clear. I want you to know this is not a I. This is really Glenn on the air in late November. This is not artificially intelligent speech. I wanted to make that clear in advance because I knew what you were going to say. That's a I, Glenn. You would say genre speech.

You wouldn't say genre. And I knew you'd play that card. Yeah. I thought it was really natural when you said the motion picture wicked Kendrick Lamar as if they were the same thing. That was interesting. I'm just saying. And you're saying that was not artificially intelligence speech. Artificial intelligence. I believe your quote was artificially intelligence speech.

Well, it might have been. It was a rough long day that day. I'm pretty sure that happened. Maybe the robots aren't going to take over because they did not nail that one for you. But as we know, you will be doing. Yes, I will.

Did you hear that? Unrelated. That's just something else. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. We'll be doing the song that you promised the audience, not even just me. Yeah. Because who cares whether you promised it to me? You let me down all the time. But the audience. If I can do it right. I mean, I don't want to just do, you know. I mean, you can't do a hatchet job on Where the Hell My Phone. Well, she did. I know. How do you make it worse than this? Where the hell my phone? Where the hell my phone? Where the hell my phone? Where the hell my phone?

The audience did come through. They did? They did. It's amazing. What an incredible thing. It's really amazing. How's your daughter dealing with all this? Vomiting blood a lot. Okay. She is, she's just amazing. It's like I said about me yesterday at Mar-a-Lago. It's like, I can't believe this is my life. Yeah. And she's kind of like, Dad. And I'm like, just none of it is real, honey.

None of fame, fortune, success. None of it is real.

And she's like, okay, dad, I understand that. I'm 18. There you go. Perfect. Yeah. Yeah. I will say you mentioned how your life was. Let me tell you how my life was this morning. Yeah. I woke up this morning and I walked out to our kitchen and my daughter was eating an English muffin with peanut butter on it. And she was right by the counter and she was huddled around the little streaming device. And on the screen was your daughter's face.

And it was the man with the bag. And she's listening to that over and over and over and over again. And I was like, how cool is that? This is totally unprompted. This is just what she picked to listen to as she was having her English muffin this morning. It's really weird to see it on iTunes and see what people are liking because it's like, oh, that's my favorite too. It's just, it's really, it's surreal. It's surreal. And I can't thank you enough. I keep listening to it to make sure Glenn actually comes through with this promise of a duet of Where to Hell My Phone. Absolutely. That's going to happen.

He just said it again. Absolutely, it's going to happen. End quote. And that is not artificially intelligent speech. Are you sure? So convincing. I thought it was. I thought it was. I mean, the evidence was all there. In what genre, though? Half the world is poised to use a gold-backed currency.

The BRICS nation moving toward it in an effort to unseat the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. If we hadn't have won this election, I think they would have done it. I think, honestly, I think they're going to try. Texas is standing up and saying, yeah, you know what? If you tube the U.S. dollar, Texas will stand. They're doing the Texas-backed gold-backed currency, but...

More and more people and institutions are rediscovering that gold is one of the most stable things you can anchor your currency to. We're not. Momentum for higher prices?

Boy, this whole thing is falling apart quickly on the wokeness. The LPGA just came out and said, sorry, no dudes in skirts golfing in the LPGA. I think they worded it a little differently. A little bit differently. So that's good news. Do you remember when you were a kid and you had Schoolastic, the book Faircom? Yeah. Oh, yeah. And Schoolastic was always like, oh, I don't trust Schoolastic. I mean... It's fun. It's fun.

Our trust in almost every institution is just gone. I want to bring on Riley Lee. I was with Prager University last night trying to help them raise money. They're putting curriculums together. They're doing amazing work right now. And keep your prayers for Dennis Prager, who is doing better but severely injured from a fall.

but he is getting better. I wanted to get Riley on. She's the president and CEO of something called Skytree, and it's a nonprofit. And it was developed to provide an affordable, safe, and appropriate book fair to school-aged children because so much that's going into Schoolastic and all these book fairs are really, it's insane. We've lost our minds. So Riley is here to talk about it.

Hi, Riley. How are you? Hi, I'm good. How are y'all? I'm great. So tell me what you guys are doing and how we can help. Yeah, thank you so much for having us on today. Yeah, so just like you said, I mean, we've completely lost our minds when it comes to the books and the content that's being promoted in

Schools and book fairs, especially across the nation. And at Skytree, you know, we solve the problem. We're a team of people that deeply care about our children. I have, you know, two kids of my own and we've seen the darkness. We've seen the problem and we're, you know, we started as just a...

solution-focused organization to bring wholesome and developmentally appropriate book fairs back to our schools. So are you bringing a bunch of new titles? Are you bringing back old titles? What exactly is your fair? What's different with your book fair than, let's say, Scholastic?

For sure. So our book fairs feature titles, both old and new. So we are always, we screen all of our titles. So unlike Scholastic or other book fair companies, we're,

dedicated to making sure that all of our content is educationally suitable for our children, developmentally appropriate, and free of pornography and adult themes, which you feel like you shouldn't even have to say. Right, right. But if you look...

I mean, we have an education suitability report that we put together and you look at some of the books, especially that are published by Scholastic and especially in that like middle grade period.

and they're highly pornographic. And so our books, we screen for all that and we work with 35 plus publishers that curate a collection of titles that both old classics while introducing new characters to these students. So I'm so concerned. I heard a stat the other day that people under 40...

Only 25% could pass the immigration test that everybody has to take if you're coming in and you're going to be a citizen. You're asked certain questions. Only 25% of American citizens can pass this. What are you seeing on the front of citizenship and just explaining that

in new ways or even old ways what it means to be an American.

Yeah, I mean, a lot of the content out there is promoting, you know, ideas that America is bad or, you know, just a lack of love for our country. And so we do have titles in our collection that, you know, from Dr. Ben Carson and other authors that promote the idea

true history of America and just what we feel that everyone should love our country. At the end of the day, we know that children learn best through stories and songs. Stories

Stories especially just really, I see it with my daughter already. She's only two, but I'll tell you just a story from her school. They had a Scholastic book fair at their preschool and they had a book called Read a Crayon Story at the fair. And

As you start to look at the book, you notice it looks really wholesome on the front and you start to look at it and it's about a red crayon that wants to be a blue crayon. And by the end of the book, it transitions into a blue crayon. Now, it seems silly or harmless, but I can tell you it's not. It's very intentional. It's very timely.

And these themes are infiltrating our kids at as young as two years old. And that's why this matters. It matters because the stories that our kids are reading will impact their lives forever. And if we don't preserve them, then we will lose them. So this is in conjunction with Kirk Cameron. It's Skytree, and it's a nonprofit organization

How do you get this into your school? Yeah, we have an application process on our website. So we're skytreebookfairs.org. We serve schools across the United States and we have way more demand than we have the ability right now to even...

comprehend, which is amazing. Schools are wanting this, Glenn, which is exciting. Schools are tired and fed up with the content that's being pushed on their students and they want this. And so they can go online and apply. But ultimately, too, we need support. We need people that care about the next generation and care about our kids and want to see this kind of content getting into the schools because it's not easy for us. It's not easy for

to fight Scholastic and other organizations. Really?

What a surprise. It's a little bit like David and Goliath over here. Oh, my gosh. I can tell you that. It's part of the machine, just absolutely part of the machine. Riley, thank you so much. I want you to go to supportskytree.org, supportskytree.org. Get this book fair into your school. Spread the word. We have to take our education back. Supportskytree.org. Riley, thank you so much.

I want to play a little something. This is how much our education system has changed. Back in the 1960s, there was a guy, he was a teacher. Now, imagine having a history teacher that would...

Teach a subject and then take out his guitar and he would write a song about it and give you all of the key things in a story so that you could sing it. Remember, she said they, you know, kids learn through stories and through a song. The stuff he was doing in his classroom was.

became hits. And let me just, because I know you've, you might've already heard this guy, but didn't really know the story. Play a little bit of this. Okay. So this is, the guy's name is Johnny Horton and he was a teacher.

And he would that was about the gold rush and going north to Alaska. And it's got all the, you know, names and dates in it. But it's telling the story of why that happened and how that happened. He's got a whole bunch of songs. What's wrong with American education? I know there are people that can teach like that that would never be a teacher.

They would be shut down in a heartbeat. You can't teach that way. We are stopping. I would love, I'm not qualified to teach, but I would love to teach classes. Love it. Love it. It would be a dream come true. There's no way. You could never do that. You know, they started this system in, was it Brazil? I think it was Brazil.

where the school in this one province or whatever they have in Brazil, the schools, it was very poor and it was just awful. And they didn't know what to do. And so this entrepreneur stood up and he said, I got an idea. Give me the chance to do this. His theory was don't teach things out of a book that is not really relatable to

For instance, math. Why teach math out of a book? Let's find something the kids want to do but requires math. So he found a guy that was one of the best bike makers, bicycle makers. And he had the class. Everybody, you could sign up for it. You could sign up for another guy who was teaching it in another way. You're going to make a bicycle.

But you had to use all the pieces of math to make it work. And the kids, the learning curve went through the roof. He believes that the best guy, and I know, I've met some of them. The best guys who can, I met a guy who knew about, was it Pat McArthur or Patton? I can't remember. This guy knew everything. The guy knew everything.

Everything about him, everything he knew, honest to God, he knew he had a telephone that was designed this way. So it was he knew everything back and forward. And he was fascinating. That should be the guy that teaches that selection of history. This guy offered this system to the United States for free. Just take it. Just here's how we're doing it. Take it.

We turned it down, as did every other Western nation. Why? Unions and control. We have to think out of the box. We have the opportunity to rewrite all of the rules, to take what conservative means is that you conserve the things that work and jettison the things that don't. Education doesn't work anymore.

So let's think out, let's be progressive in a way that they don't mean. And let's look to the future on the things that might work. We have 50 states. All of them should be laboratories. Which one's working? How is this working in this school? Will it work in this school? Free people up to do what they have inside of them.

That's how we fix education, and it ain't going to be fixed in Washington. It's got to be cut off in Washington, and it's not going to be fixed with labor unions because they want it their way and their way only. This is going to be fixed one teacher with a brilliant imagination at a time.

New study out of Denmark now shows a year after abortion, a woman's likelihood of undergoing first-time psychiatric treatment goes up by 50%. Do you think that's because they're happy? They have an 80% higher chance of ending up with personality and behavioral disorders. 80% a year after an abortion. That's because it tears your soul. It tears your mind apart. It has to.

What's sad is these women are not baby killers. I mean, some probably are, but most of them aren't. They don't want an abortion. They feel trapped. And we talk about the babies, but we don't talk about the mom issue.

If we're going to solve this, we have to change people's hearts and their minds. And the way to do that is to love both the baby, care about the baby, save the baby's life, care for the baby after the baby is born, care for the mother, love the mother, and help her with the child. That is exactly what pre-born does. There are babies in their mom's wombs right now who need help. And there are mothers that need help. They don't want to abort.

Welcome back to the Glenn Beck program. Boy, there is so much news that we just didn't get a chance to talk about today. Um,

There is talk that Pete Hegseth is possibly going to be out and maybe Ron DeSantis, which I would love. I would love. I hate it for the state of Florida, but I would love it. And you wouldn't, to be clear, you're not saying you'd love that Pete Hegseth was out. No, no, no, no. You're just saying that you think Ron would do a great job. Yeah, I think. Which he would. Correct. And, you know, there's...

He's going all out. Pete's going all out to save this, though, today. Oh, I know. His mom was on TV. He's going on with Megyn Kelly today. I'm not against him at all. No, I think a lot of this stuff makes me really uncomfortable with allegations and dredging up old family accusations. You can't do that. Look, also...

You know the drama in families. Like, you can't just take some... I know. You know better than many. There is drama that happens in families, and people say all sorts of things. And she's out there saying, like, yeah, no, I wish I didn't say all that stuff. Like, the fact that... She said it during a divorce. Yeah. And he was a scumbag. And she said, I did say that. I wish I wouldn't have said all of that stuff. But I know my son. He's a different man today than he was years ago. Six or seven years ago. Yeah. Right.

Again, obviously, I think DeSantis would be, honestly, just a choice of whether DeSantis wants to take that path or not. Yeah, I know. It'll really be up to him. But, man, I just love the idea of this dream team. He would be great. Love the idea of this dream team. People that can just take these areas and just go, go, go, go. And DeSantis would be amazing.
