Topics
Glenn Beck认为联合健康CEO布莱恩·汤普森的遇害是一起蓄谋已久的政治暗杀,这预示着未来可能发生的事件,并凸显了《独立宣言》中关于政府的宗旨和人民反抗压迫的权利的正确性。他谴责左翼人士对该事件的庆祝反应,认为这反映了左翼的道德沦丧和危险性,并强调真正的正义需要正当程序、证据、审议和公平,而街头正义则会破坏法治,导致暴力和霸凌盛行。他还分析了凶手并非专业人士,并在子弹上刻有“否认”、“废黜”、“捍卫”等字样,这表明这是一起有预谋的政治暗杀,而非单纯的报复行为。 Stu主要与Glenn Beck进行讨论和回应,对事件进行补充说明和评论,例如对凶手作案过程的细节描述,以及对Taylor Lorenz等左翼人士反应的评论。

Deep Dive

Key Insights

Why was the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson considered significant?

The shooting was premeditated and targeted, with evidence pointing to it being a planned execution. The incident highlighted the dangers of mob justice and the erosion of due process, serving as a warning of what could come if justice is taken into one's own hands.

What was the reaction of some on the left to the death of Brian Thompson?

Some on the left, including Taylor Lorenz, justified the killing, suggesting that executives like Thompson deserved it due to perceived failings in the healthcare system. This reaction was condemned as dangerous and immoral, masquerading vengeance as righteousness.

What does the Declaration of Independence say about the purpose of government?

The Declaration of Independence states that governments are instituted to protect inalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When governments become hostile to these rights, it is the right and duty of the people to overthrow such governments and replace them with ones more likely to protect those rights.

How does Glenn Beck view the current state of the American government and its response to threats?

Beck believes the current government is not protecting inalienable rights and is instead oppressing people, taking away their rights. He sees the shooting of Brian Thompson as a clear example of what happens when governments fail to uphold justice, leading to mob justice and violence.

What message did the shooter leave on the bullets used to kill Brian Thompson?

The shooter engraved words on the bullets: 'deny,' 'depose,' and 'defend.' These engravings were interpreted as a message related to denying claims and deposing those in power, possibly in the context of perceived injustices in the healthcare system.

What does Glenn Beck warn about the future if the current trend of mob justice continues?

Beck warns that if mob justice and street violence continue to be condoned, it will lead to a cycle of vengeance, where today it's a corporate executive, tomorrow it could be a politician, and eventually anyone who disagrees with the mob. He emphasizes the importance of returning to the rule of law and justice.

How does Glenn Beck relate the story of Brian Thompson's murder to broader societal issues?

Beck connects Thompson's murder to the broader issue of mob justice and the erosion of due process. He argues that this kind of violence is a symptom of a society that has abandoned the principles of justice, leading to chaos and the breakdown of law and order.

What does Glenn Beck suggest as a solution to the current state of justice in America?

Beck suggests returning to the principles of the Declaration of Independence, where justice is based on due process, evidence, deliberation, and fairness. He advocates for a lawful and peaceful revolution anchored in the systems and principles that protect justice, not destroy it.

What impact does Glenn Beck believe the Trump administration will have on global politics?

Beck believes the Trump administration will send a strong message to global leaders that the time of insanity is over and that there is a new sheriff in town. He predicts that Trump's assertiveness and commitment to keeping promises will force other countries to return to law and order or face consequences.

What does Glenn Beck suggest people do to prepare for potential economic changes under a Trump administration?

Beck suggests that people should consider putting 10% of their savings into gold or silver as a hedge against economic uncertainty. He also recommends paying off debt and considering mortgage refinancing or debt consolidation to reduce high-interest debts.

Let me tell you about the Berna Launcher. It is great. Mainly because it can be a lot of fun. For instance, probably a little too close, Stu, I'm going to make the desk a little bigger. So he's maybe about, I don't know, 40 feet away. So it really does, I mean, it'll leave a mark, but it won't, you know, really hurt him. So every time he says something stupid, I can take out my Berna Launcher and just go shoot him in the chest. The Berna Launcher is a great, great alternative. You know, when you shoot, you have to shoot to kill.

That's just the way it is. You don't shoot to wound. You shoot to kill. And that's why you just don't ever want to pull your gun out unless you absolutely have to. But there are situations where less lethal is the way to go. And that's why people have tasers or they have pepper spray because they don't want to pull out a gun. The Berna launcher looks like a gun and its barrel looks like it's like it's a cannon coming out at you.

It can fire rounds that will just hurt Stu really, really badly. But also tear gas. You hit anywhere, like five feet around this threat,

up to 60 feet away, and they'll be taken down by tear gas for about 40 minutes incapacitated. It is great. It makes a great Christmas gift for every member of the family over 18. You don't need a license, nothing. It's Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn, Burna dot com slash Glenn. Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

is the Glenn Beck Program. And hello, you sick freak. Welcome to the program. We're really glad that you're here today. I want to talk about this gunning down of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson. He was shot outside of a Manhattan hotel, and it was premeditated. We now know that

There was engravings on the three shells that were found, the three bullets that were shot, the shells ejected, and somebody engraved each one of those. Somebody sending somebody a message. I want to talk about the two kinds of revolutions because this is so clear now. It's just, to me at least, the Declaration of Independence is clear and clear.

And I don't think anybody is actually talking about what just happened and how the founders were so right and what this shooting means on what's coming and why it's so wrong.

Taylor Lorenz, you might want to spend a few minutes listening to the first hour and we begin in 60 seconds. First, I want to talk to you about Jace Medical. Look, things could be fine. I think there is going to be peace in the world if we can make it through the next 40 some days. There are forces now that are trying to pull us into war.

But Donald Trump, I think, is going to have, you know, everything he said. He'll never be able to make peace. I think he will. I think it's going to come fast if this administration just doesn't push us into a world war.

But there are things happening like trade barriers, and China is not going to be happy with it. And they control now 80% of our generic medication. 80%. They're also responsible for, you know, killing more people in the last year than were killed in the Vietnam War with fentanyl coming across our border. Maybe we should make our own drugs here.

In the meantime, you need to have critical medication on hand. And you can have it now on hand. You can have it in your own house. And it's great not just for extreme emergencies like, you know, some disruption in the world, but also just for vacations and things like that. Jase, J-A-S-E dot com. Your kids get sick or you get sick during Christmas. Yeah, have a good time going to the doctor and getting Medicaid. You don't want to do that. Have it on hand.

Jase, J-A-S-E dot com. Get the Jase case now. Find out all about it and get one for your family. Jase dot com. Promo code Beck. All right. The wife of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, who was fatally shot at a hotel yesterday morning in New York.

It was premeditated, preplanned, a targeted attack. She said to police that he had said that he had been receiving threats. She didn't know really anything more than that. He didn't have any security. I am telling you right now, I said in 2010, maybe, Stu, when I was on Fox, I remember it clear as a day. You people that are supporting the left,

You think you're fine, but when this really comes to a head, they are going to drag you out into the middle of the streets and beat you to death on live television, and they won't care. Hopefully that's not going to happen because we had a revolution. And make no mistake, spend the hour with me here because I have a couple of takes that I think are so important here.

that nobody's talking about. So let me start with the good news. What is the purpose of government? What is the purpose of government, specifically American government? Everywhere else it's to, you know, enforce the law and keep the peace and everything. And that's true. However, in our mission statement, which is the Declaration of Independence, governments are instituted among men, meaning you create the government, right?

And they're instituted among men to protect our rights. The rights, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, the ones not just written down in the Bill of Rights, but all the other rights that are ungiven that are talked about in the 9th and 10th Amendment. So there's all these rights. And when governments become hostile to those rights, when they start oppressing people and taking those rights away, it is the right and the duty of

to overthrow that government and replace it with a government more likely to protect those rights. Now, I have talked about this a lot, and every time in the last few years that I have said this, I've always had to have the caveat. That doesn't mean a revolution with guns. That means go to the ballot box.

But later on, just a couple of sentences later, it talks in the Declaration of Independence, and I'm badly paraphrasing here, but people are more apt to live with the pain that they know, okay, until that pain becomes so horrible that they have to change. And the reason why, and honestly, I can relate to this as an alcoholic. When I was drinking alcohol,

I was more, in some ways, more comfortable with the pain of, you're such a loser. You're an alcoholic. You're a loser. What are you doing? You're a wino, dude. I was more comfortable with that up to a point than I was of, yeah, but I don't think there's anything inside of me. I think I am a loser. What happens if I sober up and there's nothing good inside?

And this is as good as it gets. Now, I know that sounds crazy, but that's what the Declaration of Independence is talking about. You're more apt to live in pain until that pain becomes so bad that it's better for you or easier for you to go into the unknown. And that's when people change, when they're broken so bad and in so much pain that they're like, I'll try anything. Okay?

That's what we did. That's what people, people crossed lines. RFK, do you know that would have never happened 10 years ago? Never. We wouldn't have accepted it. The people voting for Donald Trump, we wouldn't have accepted it. But we were in such bad pain after COVID that we were like, you know what? Somebody's got to do something because there's something really wrong here.

So we went into the unknown. How many times are you saying to yourself right now, I don't know, but I trust Donald Trump. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

That's walking into the unknown because of our pain. So congratulations to the founders and congratulations to you, the American people. This is a grand and noble idea that has inspired generations of people all around the world to stand against tyranny, to demand justice and to strive for equality. Okay.

So now let me bring this to the other side of the Declaration of Independence and what you're fighting against. That second paragraph that describes everything that I just said in the Declaration of Independence then clearly is also a warning that you do not take justice into your own hands.

This is not mob justice. This is not a call for violence. It's not a license to spill blood on the streets or take justice into your own hands, because that's what the Declaration of Independence says.

That paragraph where it says it's the right and the duty, the reason why that's so dangerous is because uninformed people, people who are stupid or people who are desperate, read that as, we've got to get our guns. No, no. You stand together because you realize you have the power. Now, that's the American idea.

Everywhere else in the world, it is. Go get your guns. Because everybody else's manifestos, if you will, starts with the grievances. It starts with, you did this, you did this, you're doing this to these people, and we hate you because of this.

Ours starts with, here's what we're going to build. It starts with a grand idea. And then it says, we have to do this now and we have to overthrow you because here's all the things you did to stop us from doing these grand things. So you have to proceed with prudence, reason, and care.

And when revolution becomes necessary, it has to be lawful and peaceful and anchored in the systems and the principles that protect justice, not destroy justice. Now, here's the pattern that is going to unfold here soon. And there's a couple of things that I want to get into more of them, you know, here in a few minutes. But I just want to stay focused on this one shooting of this health care official.

People who are disillusioned by the failures of the institutions, people who are true Marxist revolutionaries, people who are anarchists, and as I will talk about later, perhaps coming, those who are making themselves look like revolutionaries to protect themselves because radical transparency is coming, right?

They are going to cause chaos and they will use violence as their answer. However, as they target, like they did yesterday with the CEO, they'll target people, pharmaceutical companies, you better have security. And not because of regular Americans, but because of Marxists, because of revolutionaries.

pharmaceutical executives, health care leaders, etc., etc., these people will come out and act as judge, jury, and executioner, all in the so-called name of justice. But let me ask you, what is justice? What is it? Is shooting someone in the street, even if they're guilty or not, let's just say this guy is just guilty, he's been experimenting on babies and none of us knew,

Shooting him in the streets, is that justice? Let me answer and continue in just a second. First, let me talk to you about pre-born. There is a new study out of Denmark that shows a year after abortion. I want you to listen to this carefully because compassion is the answer to abortion.

A woman's likelihood of undergoing a first-time psychiatric treatment a year after abortion goes up by 50%. They also have an 80% higher chance of ending up with severe personality and behavior disorders. Why? Because it is a scar on the soul. It only makes sense.

But nobody who's in the abortion industry wants to talk about because they don't actually care about the baby and they don't care about women. They don't. We must.

Preborn saves 200 babies every day by offering free ultrasounds to expecting mothers. That doubles the chance of a baby living, and it costs $28. You can sponsor an ultrasound. That doubles the chance. Then many of the women just feel like they have no other option. That's why preborn is there for two years for the mom with everything the mom might need because she's alone.

Please, let's engage in compassion and change lives, save two lives, not just the baby, but the mom as well.

Mr. Kringle is soon gonna jingle the bells that'll tinkle all you travel away.

All right. I want to talk to you about justice here and specifically about the UnitedHealthcare CEO that was gunned down yesterday. We don't know who gunned him down. I want to talk to you about what was engraved on the bullets, however, in just a second. But...

Yesterday, when this happened, Taylor Lorenz came out and made one of the just grotesque statements I've ever seen. You know, they wonder why people wonder why these executives are dead.

Because she started to justify the gunning down of this executive. Because, you know, they just don't cover people. They just let people die. They hassle people. And, you know, there is no justification. And as I'm reading, I'm thinking to myself, she's horrible.

And then I read the comments after and other people on the left. This is who the left is. The left, they are despicable. They justify everything involving death. Is this justice? No, no matter what the guy did, it's not justice. It is vengeance.

And because of people like Taylor Loren, it is or Loren's, it is vengeance masquerading as righteousness. And that is very dangerous chaos wearing the mask of morality. And it's not only incorrect, but it is profoundly dangerous and deeply immoral.

In my book, Propaganda Wars, I talk about if somebody has betrayed you and your values and principles and they have lied to you,

Never, never trust them on anything again. This is a great example. I haven't trusted her. I haven't read anything from her in a long time. But she is showing you, not only is she out of step with the truth, she is a danger. Reading her is putting poison into your soul. And be careful. Be careful of these people. Street justice ignores the principles that underpin justice.

Our society, justice, true justice requires what? Due process. It's why I have a problem with all the smears. It's why people have a problem with everybody saying Russia, Russia, Russia. What, what, what, what, what, what's the evidence? Or Donald Trump, he acted to overthrow the government. He's a revolutionary that overthrow and he was part of, you never charged him with anything.

Charge him. Charge him. Due process. You don't just smear people. It requires evidence. It requires deliberation. It requires fairness. And when we abandon those principles, we replace the rule of law with the rule of rage. And that's what we just overthrew.

And if Donald Trump, and he's not, I've talked to him a million times, he is not engaging in rule of rage and revenge. That's wrong. He is going to the rule of law. When we descend into a world where might makes right, where emotion supplants reason, where the powerful prey on the weak, what happens? I mean, think about it. Who decides who's guilty in a world of street justice?

Who decides what a fair punishment is? That guy who wore a mask? We don't even know who he is. In the absence of law, it's not virtuous. It's not the virtuous who even prevail. It's the violent and the bullies that prevail. The loudest voices drowned out the reasonable ones. We've just lived through this.

But this is what I said. This is a dangerous period now. I've said I really kind of want to take this holiday to just kind of refresh and not bog you down with a lot of stuff and a lot of worry because we're going to need our strength. When we come back January 20th, they're not done. They are not done. They're not just going away.

They are anarchists. This is anarchy, plain and simple. Anarchy, there is no foundation in anarchy for liberty. None. And when it's condoned like it was yesterday, it spreads like a wildfire.

The act of vengeance inspires another act of vengeance, especially if people up at the top start to say, oh, that's good. You know what? Maybe they deserved it. Then the streets run red with the blood of our neighbors. Today, it's a corporate executive. Tomorrow, it's a politician. The next day, it might just be somebody who disagrees with the mob. We've seen this.

It's why we just voted return the law to justice, blind justice. Because history has already shown us where this goes. Where this kind of stuff goes is to the French Revolution, which began with noble ideas, I guess, liberty, equality, fraternity. The people who were being screwed by the people at the top

They wanted a better, fairer society. But then justice gave way to vengeance. The revolution just devoured itself. The guillotine was rolled out. That was the arbiter of morality all of a sudden. Reign of terror. Everybody who led anything, it was neighbor against neighbor. Everybody was just being killed. That's the legacy of street justice. We can't.

The thought that we can indulge violence without consequence, that we can achieve justice by abandoning its principles, it's a lie. Violence begets violence, hatred breeds hatred, and when we take justice into our own hands, we do not create a better world, we create a broken one. A society without law can never be free.

Available now wherever you stream your music.

Maybe it's much too in the game. I thought I'd ask you just the same. Do you?

From the album Home for Christmas by Cheyenne Grace. Let me go back now into the UnitedHealthcare CEO that was shot down on the streets of New York yesterday. The shells that were left, this guy was, I don't think this guy was a professional. First of all, he went to a coffee shop right before he shot the guy.

And so they're getting DNA off of, you know, some of the stuff that he touched and,

which is absolutely amazing that we know all of it. You know, it was 120 years ago, people were like, fingerprinting? That's ridiculous. Now look at what we can do. But he went over to the coffee shop. Then he stayed and laid in waiting at the Hilton right on Avenue of Americas. It was like four blocks from where we used to work.

I think we used to go to the falafel place to get lunch right there. Yeah. If it's not that corner, it's, it's the, I think it's that one, but Halal guys, which is, you know, big chain. Now the original cart was like right on that corner. Yeah. And so it's very busy, especially during this time of season, it's the Hilton. And so the guy was coming out of the Hilton and he walks out. The, the shooter was laying in wait, watch several people pass. So we know he was targeting this guy and,

shoots him in the back. Then he has a silencer, which is an interesting choice. Silencers have to have a tax stamp. It's a very highly regulated thing. His gun jams. He unjams the gun and then shoots him, I think two other times, hits him in the leg, which to me says that's not a pro. No pro is like, I'm freaking out, and shoot him in the leg.

So he... Have you seen the video of this? No. He doesn't look like he's freaking out. Show me the video. Yeah, here we go. Yeah, we have the video. He's firing. And you see another person. He's not freaking out. Not at all. It's pretty... And he walks away slowly. Mm-hmm.

It definitely does not look like a freakout. I don't know that he's a professional. I think a lot of people pointed out things that he's done that don't look professional. Why was he sliding...

why was he taking the slide back each time he shot i understand if it's jammed yeah but i don't know he kept doing that that's weird it's a terrifying uh just an awful video especially because if you've ever again we mentioned that this is a few blocks away from where we did the show every single day in new york and you realize how often you're just walking down the street and

I mean, this can happen in any city, but anyone could walk up behind you and do something to you like this, and you'd have absolutely no idea it even happened. This poor guy with a family loses his life for nothing. Okay, so there's a couple of things. First of all, they picked up the shell casings that were left, all right?

And on them, this guy took the time to engrave words on the shells. Three shells. And the first one said, deny. The next one said, depose. And the third one said, defend. Not sure what that meant.

I mean, certainly you think, I mean, everyone's talking about deny claims, depose, you know, these bad healthcare companies. They deserve this because of all the things that they do. And here's the thing. No, they don't.

No, no, no. Executing a father and a husband because you think that the American health care system is poor, which, again, I'd ask you to go look at some of the other countries that you're praising. They're not all they're cracked up to be, but that's all it is. Yeah, I mean, there's problems with our health care system, clear problems with our health care system, but not –

Not like this. Number one, no problem with a health care system or a company justifies this. Yeah. Yeah. I know this is news to everybody on the left today. So there's no there's no argument to be made about. Well, he denied all these claims. That's not an argument to execute someone in the street. Just so you know, I know this is weird to say today.

But I know and I know he had a lot of zeros in his bank account, which makes it seem like you should be able to kill him. But no, that's actually not an argument to murder somebody. But beyond that, the arguments are dumb. Look at look up Taylor Lorenz, her response to Daniel Penny. Will you? Her response to Daniel Penny? Yeah. I wonder what she said about Daniel Penny, the guy who was justified.

We know more about the guy who was on the train. He was a schizophrenic. He was on drugs.

And there was something else about him. And he was threatening everybody. And Daniel Penny came and choked him out. Yep. Okay. Protected everybody. I will bet you that Taylor Lorenz or any of the ones that were retweeting going, yeah, you're right. We're against Daniel Penny, but are for this. You're probably right. She's no longer on Twitter. She's now on, I guess, Blue Sky, which is the only reason now you see stuff is when people repost her stuff on Twitter.

But as you pointed out, she was cheering this on. Again, we talk about all the – it's one thing to cite other people. The first one I saw that she did, she's like, oh, look, people are putting this in my group chats. CEO down with all this celebration. Oh, good, a CEO is dead.

But she also, as you mentioned, said, and we wonder why we want these executives dead. We. And what you could because you could certainly talk about. I thought Elon Musk had problems with not taking down content that was violent. Well, I guess just cheering on people dying is totally fine. I guess blue sky doesn't have those same policies. But.

But separate from all of this, separate from the fact that I saw the Taylor Lorenz post and I thought to myself, God, she is legitimately a horrible person. And then realized that actually she's just a totally normal person on the left, apparently, who's cheering this on. It's everywhere. But to remind you,

The New York Times and the Washington Post for years told you that this person was an appropriate person to report and critique culture in America. This is a person they put up as a star reporter. Multiple journalistic institutions thought this person was not only sane, but the person to tell you whether a cultural development was good or bad.

Throughout the entire COVID era, a person who currently to this day is still wearing masks everywhere she goes outdoors. That shows you how far this is. The New York Times had her on staff and everyone on the right was like, gosh, this person's insane. And they kept saying how she was their star reporter. Finally, something happened at the Times and she left. And the Washington Post is like, now we want her. That is an incredible thing.

over the state of American media. Look at... Look at what they did to Alex Jones. So Alex Jones says crazy things. Some of the stuff that they said he said, he didn't. They...

you know, find him guilty and fine him. What was it? First one, $97 trillion. It was something. It was in the billions. Yeah. It was a clear violation of the bill of rights. Yeah. And they take away everything from him. She keeps getting jobs. Yep.

She's actually calling for violence against these people. Now, I don't know. I've never understood. Yeah, I've never understood. And maybe somebody knows. Maybe I'm just too old to understand. I don't know what the salsa dancer emoji means. Is that like, hey, we're going dancing tonight to Latin music? I don't know.

I'm sure that whatever you just explained had to be it because it seemed really convincing. Right. Hey, we're going dancing, Latin dancing. You know, when she's saying this, I don't know what emoji she used to say, hey, this is great. Maybe it is the salsa dancer. It's like, hey, let's go salsa dancing tonight. I don't know. I've never really used it because, I don't know, is it code for something? I'm sorry, I digress. Right.

You're in touch with the people. Have you ever, let me ask you this. In your life, have you ever used an emoji? Oh, yeah. You're ahead of me then in that category. I don't think I've ever used one. I don't think in my entire life I've ever used an emoji. I use them only because... I could be wrong on that, but I don't think so. Only because I'm usually so dry in, you know...

And I just know at some point, well, I knew at some point if this just kept going the way it was going, everything I ever wrote, you know, needed to have, you know, an explanation. I'm joking. Saul's a dancer. Right. Which is, I think, what that means. It means I'm joking about Latin dancing. Right. Look, Your Honor, do I look like I can Latin dance? No. No.

There was, it was cheering. It was emoji use. It was, you know, glorified memes. And like, I was, I really did think it was just a few insane people on the left. Of course, like, look. It is. Okay. You see a few insane people who do this. I don't know, Glenn, man. I, you know, I saw. Wait, wait, wait, wait. When I say a few insane people, I bet it's 8%.

Five to eight percent. OK, but that's more than a few insane people, though, right? Well, yeah, when you look at three hundred and thirty or fifty million people. Yeah, that is more than a few. But we can't. I think it's really important because if you look at that map on how Donald Trump won, there were many people who were Democrats that were like,

I think I'm going to go over here to common sense. That's true. So I don't want it to make appear like this is Democrat. These are leftist, crazy people that are dangerous, that we're in charge of much of the agenda for the Democratic Party. But like, I look at Taylor Lorenz as one of the most severely unbalanced people in our society. Like that is, I think who she actually is. She's completely insane. Yeah.

And, you know, you think she's on the level of a person who makes who causes a disturbance on a subway cart like she's nuts. She's crazy. But like I, you know, I mean, just going through my my Internet diet.

I follow, I don't follow left-wing pages. I don't follow liberal pages. What I do follow, though, are like entertainment pages, like, you know, comedy pages. Yeah, yeah. I couldn't believe the amount of just joyful hilarity they believed came out of this guy's murder. Again, less than 24 hours after it occurred. This is not making an Abraham Lincoln joke.

This is a person... Wait, wait, what? Yeah, oh God. What happened to him? Spoiler alert. It's a sad, sad play. Wow, is he sick? I know, yeah. But I mean, like, you know, you understand people have dark senses of humor. And we do too. We have very dark sense of humor. This guy's...

This guy's wife and child just watched this happen. They're watching the video on repeat on every news station. NBC called. She gave, the wife gave a comment to NBC and she, and they were asking, you know, about threats and everything else. And she said, yes, that was happening, but I don't have, I just saw this and

And I have to go tell my children and comfort my children. I mean, as Taylor Lorenz is, is, and others are doing this, she's having to go comfort. I don't care what this guy did. I don't care if he deserved the electric chair with justice in a court of law. You don't do that. It's just, it's obscene. Good news is I really believe we're coming back to there.

Let me tell you about preborn. The left would like you to think that every woman who has an abortion magically is happier. Why else would you shout your abortion? This is such a lie. Abortion just doesn't kill the baby.

It destroys the mother's life in so many cases. That's why the Ministry of Preborn, I think, is the best way to stop abortion because it

For moms who are deciding between life and death for their unborn children, they introduce them first to an ultrasound, which doubles the chance that mom's going to choose life.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. I want to talk to you this hour about what's happened in the Supreme Court yesterday, about the mutilation of children. There's so much going on. We just spoke about the UnitedHealthcare CEO that was shot in the streets just hours before they light the Rockefeller Christmas tree.

But I also want to talk to you about your family and maybe perhaps some of the things that you're dealing with in a personal way. We'll start there in 60 seconds. First...

Faster, better, stronger. Sounds like the opening of The Six Million Dollar Man, but if you're serious about most things in life, those are your goals. Better, faster, stronger. A great example of this is exercising your Second Amendment right, and you have the right to own a gun and responsibly use them wisely. That means getting better, right? Better, faster, stronger.

Now, how do you do that? Well, you spend a ton of money on ammunition and time at the gun range, and that can get expensive, and you should do some of that. But you also have now a great Christmas gift, a great something you can buy for yourself. Ooh, wow, who put this up? Thank you, Santa. Mantis X. It is a high-tech, easy-to-use system used widely by the military, and it helps improve your shooting quickly. It is honestly like...

having an instructor stand right next to you. And I've had instructors, really good sharpshooters and everybody else, stand right next to me, and that's helpful. Mantis X improved my handgun shooting so fast. It was unbelievable.

You just attach it to the end of the gun, whether you're dry firing or actual firing. It Bluetooths down to your iPad or your phone, and it shows you exactly what you're doing right, what you're doing wrong, and how to correct it. Be a responsible gun owner and increase your competence and, more importantly, perhaps your confidence with Mantis X. Get your Mantis X at MantisX.com. That's MantisX.com.

I want to talk to you this time of year. Um, I, I, I do a lot of reflecting on family and, and my life and what have I done with my life? Is my life, have I done anything? Am I a better person than I was last year or not this year? I can't, I can't decide. Uh,

But I look back not just, I try not to look at other people because that always screws me up. Well, where are you in position to, what difference does that make? And then I try to be grateful for all of the things that maybe I have done wrong that I know, even though it hasn't happened yet perhaps, is going to put me in a better position. It was around Christmas time that was absolutely at my worst. I was depressed.

I was about, I mean, I had a choice. I'm either going to live or die. I'm going to repeat the suicide of my mother, or I'm going to stand up and stop feeling sorry for myself. And I was feeling really sorry for myself, and I had a lot of reasons to feel sorry for myself. I mean, I had wrecked my whole life. And I wish I could say that I made the decision on this green shag carpeted floor of this horrible place

apartment building that was really made just for a divorced man. We just, you know, all of us would pass each other in the hallway. Hey dude, your life still suck. Yeah. Good to see you. See you tomorrow. And I decided to get up and I wish I could tell you that the next day it was brighter, but it wasn't.

But over time, once I made the decision, my life changed and I can't believe the miracles that I've seen in my life. And it's not the fame or the fortune or anything else. It's not. It's my friends. It's my family. It's honestly, it's my integrity, which I value more than anything else that I have. When the road ahead seems shrouded in darkness, we all wonder,

I don't think I have the strength to do this. I don't even know if I have the will to take another step. I don't know if I can get up tomorrow morning and do this all over again. Everything is against me. I mean, you know, just the idea just of debt. My gosh, debt bothers me so much. I don't like owing people money. I don't like owing people the bank or anything else. It drives me out of my mind. I can't sleep at night. I hate it so much. And whatever it is with you,

If you're hearing me right now and you feel any of that ache, that loneliness, that despair, that angst, let me just tell you right now, you're not alone. I'm feeling it. I think everybody's feeling it one way or another. But most important, it's not that you're just not alone. You're not without hope. It might feel like it. You might feel like, Glenn, you have no idea what I'm dealing with. I don't.

But you have no idea what I was dealing with, and I thought it was the end for me several times. I mean, geez, Stu, you remember? I...

I built up, I went from zero, nothing, having nothing. You had a better apartment when you were 18 than I did when I was 30 because I was so broke. Remember that? And then we built, I built a fortune and we, and we started the blaze. And then I went broke again, or I was this close to going broke. And I,

It's just a horrible feeling, just a horrible feeling. And it just goes in cycles and you have to see that. But you'll see that once you conquer some of the things that you don't

have to deal with. Life is like a video game. You juice, you cannot go to the next level until you've completed the first level. And then you get to the next level and you're like, oh, this is going to be great. And then the next level is harder and you keep being set back and you can't go to the third level until you can, until you get past the second level. That's what life is really like. And if you look at it more of a challenge, you can handle it a little better.

But I want you to look around this season because this is, first of all, we have a lot to be thankful for. But this is every year, no matter what, every year, this is a strange and wondrous time of year. And I think in some ways we're losing that. Christmas felt different when I was a kid. It's becoming more commercial and less about people, more about, ooh, look how they have their tree lit up in their yard.

There is something about the, well, I don't think it's a coincidence, but the coincidence of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's all in such close succession.

It's, it's, it's as if it's the rhythm of the universe or perhaps something divine that's whispering a message of hope and redemption and showing us what we have to do. All you have to do is recognize it. That's really the secret of life. Get past what you're, get past yourself, get past. And I don't mean that like get over yourself. I mean,

Get past the things you've been telling yourself that are lies. They don't seem like lies right now. I know that. I used to tell myself I'm worthless. I have no talent. I'll never make it. I used to tell myself all those lies. And they were true at the time until I decided I don't like that. I don't like that life that that's giving me. Let's start with Thanksgiving. This is how I think Thanksgiving.

We should look at the holidays.

At first glance, it seems, you know, it's a day for gratitude. But how many of us even really truly took the time at Thanksgiving around our table and said, my gosh, look at the miracle that we just saw. We saw a founder style miracle happen again in America. God has not given up on us. He's given us the opportunity to now do our job. He's not going to keep doing it. He did what we couldn't do.

And now it's up to us. And that's the way it always works with God. You know, it's more than just giving thanks for the easy blessings, the warm home, the family that's around the food, the food on the table. Thanksgiving begins when we learn to be grateful for the things that have broken us, the family members that are not around the table, whether it's from death or from political arguments.

The things that broke us, when we can be grateful for those things, for the struggles that knocked us down, for the moments of pain, of failure, of loss, we will understand if we don't yet, we will understand that those are all crucibles that forge who we are. Those are the things, that's the refiner's fire. Gold is not pure until it goes through a fire.

And the struggle, it's so bad sometimes. I know, please, if you're struggling now, know that I have been where you are and I know this sounds maybe a little like gobbledygook, but it's not. I am telling you this because I was where you are perhaps right now in many different ways. Struggle goes unnoticed. You just see it as, I can't get past this.

a heartbreak that taught you to love deeper. That's only understood long after that heartbreak. When that heartbreak is happening, it's heartbreak. And you're like, I can't go on. But that heartbreak now that you're going through will teach you to love deeper. The loss that teaches you resilience, the failure that redirects your path to something much better that you can't even see or understand right now.

I'm so glad there are so many unanswered prayers in my life because if I would have gotten, I'd be married to Farrah Fawcett right now. Okay. And you know, I don't think that would have probably been a good relationship. But when life brings us to our knees, that is not a sign of defeat. It's an invitation. When Donald Trump was shot and he's laying down on the ground, he had a choice.

Do I do what most people will do, what my instincts tell me to do, and that is get out of danger, or do I stand up? Do I take this as God's invitation to stand up and say, you're not stopping me? That's a remarkable person. I don't know if I would be that person, but he is.

So things that knock us down, it's not defeat. It's an invitation to be a better person, to step up higher because you can. An invitation to be low enough to see life for what it truly is. I think that moment is what changed Donald Trump and gave us the man he is today, not the man he was in 2020. He saw this is a chance for me to

What is truly important? What am I really doing here on life? Why am I here? Why am I in this position that changed him? And that is that takes humility, something that you don't you don't think of when you think of Donald Trump. You don't think of humility, but that was a humbling moment. And it's that gratitude, the raw, unvarnished and born of humility that has the power to heal people.

Everything. All right, so now let me tell you about step two. Let me take 60 seconds. So let me ask you something. How many things has pain taken away from you?

You know, I have to tell you, I was in such bad pain and this relief factor broke the back of my pain. I don't know how I tried absolutely everything. This natural blah, blah, blah. I'm like, this is not going to work. It broke the back of my pain. And while I didn't enjoy that pain at the time, I sure appreciate every single moment now when I'm not in pain and

100% drug-free relief factor. It's for your neck, back, joint, muscle pain, whatever kind of pain. 70% of the people who try it and take it as directed for the first three weeks go on to order it again and again. That's me. Stop masking your pain. Start fighting back naturally.

Give Relief Factor a try. Right now, the three-week quick start is only $19.95, less than a dollar a day. Visit relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF. That's 1-800-4-RELIEF. 10 seconds, station ID. Okay, so gratitude, being thankful. We just had that with Thanksgiving. Have you truly done that yet? If you haven't, do it today. Start by writing three things. I just, I wrote, I'm starting to write them down every day. Three things you're grateful for.

I wrote air travel. I'm really grateful for air travel, the way I can be in one place and the next, the miracle of a second chance. And it's never too late to understand family is the only thing that matters. Those are the three things I wrote down today. Be grateful for things. Okay.

Now, Christmas, once you're grateful, this is a story not just of a child's birth, but as a gift that's so profound, it reshaped the entire world. It gave us the Western world and all of the best things about it. Now, think about this. Here comes the Christ child. He's not born in a palace. There's no fanfare. He's in the humblest of settings. He's in a stable that smelled like

Cows were, have you ever been in a stable? That's not really great. Imagine giving birth in a stable. Now for decades, I believe because he had to be fully human and also fully God, he had to be human. I'm not sure he understood the enormity of his purpose from the beginning. You know, I think for the, you know, for maybe at least the first 20 years of his life, he was not, he wasn't sure of what was coming. Um,

And that's a mirror of our life. How often do we walk through the seasons of our life in confusion? Like, I have no idea. Wondering if what we're doing has any meaning or significance at all. I don't know. There's so many things I do that I'm like, is this really even going to make a difference? I mean, why am I doing that? But just as his birth wasn't understood until much, much later...

Our struggles, the ones you face right now, the ones that you think are pointless, unbearable, that's just part of the story that hasn't been finished yet. That's just the tough part of the story. You haven't gotten to the part where you're like, oh my gosh, what a miracle that was. And his life was the promise of forgiveness, a second chance in a broken world, a clean slate.

God himself would enter into the mess of humanity to give us, you personally, a second chance. Forgiving others is easy. Forgiving yourself is damn near impossible. And if you don't, if you're not humble enough and grateful for even the worst things in your life, you're not down on your knees to recognize that there is a second chance and it was given by the man himself.

that we celebrate his birth at Christmas time. The knowledge that no matter how far you've fallen, no matter what you've done, you can start all over again. And then, as if the universe or God doesn't want you to miss the message, he's kind of like, okay, dummies, listen up. Just a few days after Christmas, we stand at the threshold of a brand new year.

old father time and the young baby. It's a whole new life. It's a whole new year. The world hands us a calendar full of blank pages where you don't have to write the same stuff in that you wrote last year. It can be completely different. It's a fresh start. You can completely embrace a different you. And it's not lose weight, make more money, work harder. Those are good things. They are. They're good things. But

A real New Year's resolution has to be deeply true. Instead of striving to fix what you think is wrong with you, why not this year embrace what is already right? What about embracing and forgiving yourself for your own failures? The bitterness that you've been holding on to, that argument that you had with a very good friend about politics, that's meaningless.

It's hard to forgive others, harder to forgive yourself. Take responsibility for the things that you did because God's already done it. Who are you to say I'm unforgivable or they're unforgivable when God has already forgiven? Weight loss is fine. Earning is, you know, fine. But that doesn't mend a broken spirit. Money and fame are poison.

Forgiveness, self-compassion is the cure. That's the miracle in the days ahead. I've always thought this collection of holidays is not just time off. It's a journey. You start with gratitude, not just for what's easy to celebrate, but for the struggles that shaped you. You look to Christmas as a reminder that your mistakes, your sorrows, your regrets don't define you. They're gone as soon as you let go of them. And then you get a whole new life.

Life, a whole new calendar with blank pages. What are you going to do with them next year? You feel broken right now? Broken things can still shine. It's through those cracks that the light gets in. You are not alone. You're not beyond redemption. You are not without hope.

Just be ready. Get ready. Take a deep breath. Look at your hands, your heart, your life, and start all over again. Glenn Beck.

Have you ever noticed that if you do the job right the first time, you don't have to do that irritating hassle of having to do it over and over and over again, you know, because you did it the wrong way. That's another thing I learned, you know, when I screwed up my life. I kept saying, well, I'm going to fix it this time because I know how to do it. And it would always break on me. And I'm like, how come this keeps happening to me? Because, dummy, you're doing it yourself.

Welcome back to the Glenn Beck program. There's a story in Axios today that just kills me. Just the headline kills me. Trump's shadow presidency clouds Biden's final weeks. Here's the only shadow presidency that we should be talking about, and that is, who the hell is president right now? It's not him. I don't care what anybody says. It's not him.

Who is the president of the United States? Interesting question. Nobody seems to want to talk about. I mean, it's going so poorly. It's hard to believe it's not him. You know, I kind of kind of seems like central to his governing philosophy. But I think you're right. It doesn't seem like he's really the president. No. And by the way, you mentioned this the other day. What? Where did Kamala Harris go?

I haven't seen her since, I think, the day after the election. No. Gone. Just gone. I have no idea. No idea. Now, Axios says, here's why this matters. There can only be one man who occupies the White House. Yeah, you're right. You're right. They go on, let me quote, but the norm-busting assertiveness of Donald Trump and his transition team and the rapidly fading relevance of President Biden has given the U.S. something of a two-headed presidency. No, here's what's happened.

This is not a shadow presidency. This is promises kept. The world is being put on notice right now. There's a new sheriff in town. I'm not there yet, but I'm coming. Now, we can play this two ways. You can understand that the time of insanity is over, and you can start preparing right now to fix that.

Or when I get into office, because I have promised the American people I am going to fix this at lightning speed, I'm giving you the opportunity to get ahead of the curve. Because Mexico, you don't fix the drug problem. You keep shipping people across your border. I'm going to put a 25% tariff on everything you sell. I'll cripple your markets. Okay?

Are you threatening? Yeah. Yeah, I am. Yeah, I'm threatening you. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I mean, that's what I would say if I were the president. Why mess around? This is what he means, what he says. Tariffs are coming. So when he calls the new president of Mexico and says that, it's not a shadow government. It's somebody saying, this is what's coming. You want to play ball or do you want to be outside?

And he's doing that with almost everything. I mean, he did it with Trudeau. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to send up additional helicopters and drones to protect the border. And I'm also going to put tariffs on you, Canada. And I personally, I love Canada. You should be the 51st state. He's playing hardball with Trudeau.

He's telling Canada, we love you. We love you. I don't have any problem. Just stop what's coming over the border because we're not doing it anymore. What is the difference between that and when Joe Biden was the elect and he was saying, we're not going to prosecute anybody? What's the difference? The difference is Donald Trump is telling heads of state, return to law and order.

Joe Biden was saying, there's no law and order here. There's no sheriff in town. Soon, on foreign policy, they're criticizing. He's claimed credit for Iran's apparent decision not to retaliate against Israel for its October attack. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Who doesn't believe that? Honestly, who doesn't believe that? You've gone from Joe Biden...

who has made them wealthy again, given them everything they want, opened our coffers, opened our doors, allowed them to get away with anything, and the guy who just four years ago had them on the brink of bankruptcy, had them on the brink of internal revolution, which would have set a great people free, he's coming back. Now, you're just one of the mullahs.

You might believe the 80 or 90 or however many virgins you're getting. You might think, hey, that's coming my way. But there's also somebody else around you that's a little pragmatic that will go, yeah, but we may just be blown up ourselves. At some point, you ask yourself,

I got a pretty good life. I'm not, I mean, we're making some progress. Do I really want the United States to kill me? Do I? That's what's happening in Iran. They know that this is, this is why he is such a great negotiator because everyone knows, do you know how he bought Mar-a-Lago?

Mar-a-Lago, I'm going to get the numbers wrong, but it was like $30 million. It had been given to the United States by Merriweather Post in like 70-something, 72, been given to the United States government as the Southern White House. And when Jimmy Carter got in, he says, it's too expensive to keep up. We're just going to give it back. So,

He gives it back. Somebody else buys it. I think it was given again to the United States as the Southern White House. They give it back again. And so Donald Trump buys it. Now, that thing was selling for, and I'm going to get the numbers wrong, but it was selling for like $30 million, something like that. It's worth so much more now. But it was $30 million and $10 million just for the

Just for the furniture. This was built by EF Hutton and his wife, Meriwether Post, who post as in post serial. OK, so it's a remarkable piece of property. Donald Trump came in and said, OK, I want to buy it, but I'm not going to pay 40 million dollars for it because it's going to take 40 million dollars at least to get it back into shape. I want it for making the numbers up 10 million with the furniture.

You know, 10 million and then 2 million for the furniture. They said, no, how dare you? How dare you? Okay. So what did he do? He went and bought the little sliver of beach right across the street from the mansion that provided the view to the ocean.

And then he went back and he said, I just bought this. I'm just going to build a tall building here that I'm going to live in. It'll wreck your view. I mean, how much do you think your house is going to be worth then? They knew he meant what he said. I think he got it for $10 million total with the furniture and the house, okay?

he is known as saying what he means and means what he says. So when he says, you know, this is going to end, yes, it ends. So there's no shadow government here. It's that the leaders of the world know he will do it. Unlike every other president that we've had, including him the first time,

Americans didn't know, neither did the world. Will he actually do that? When he says, yeah, you little guy over there in North Korea, I might just have to blow you up. They now know he'll do it. He'll do it. So I really don't want to die. Also,

They're saying he's not responsible for the booming stock market right now. You know, I don't know. The stock market is completely unhinged from anything real. Okay? It's way overvalued. It's ridiculous what's going on because we've been printing money and giving it to the banks, and the banks have been investing in their own companies and driving the stock market up. It's ridiculous. It's not real anymore. It's not actual capitalism.

However, the first sign of capitalism that I have seen is the bump of the stock market after Donald Trump was elected. Because everyone with money knew they're going to increase our corporate taxes. They're going to increase the regulations on everything we do. They're going to continue to pick winners and losers, right?

They knew they had to say, we want to save our money and buy as much of our company as we can and hold on and don't spend any money because we have no idea what these crazy people will do. They know what Donald Trump will do because he said it and he's done it before.

And it may not be in their best interest, but it will be in the best interest of their bottom line because he's going to fix the economy for the American people, meaning they will have more money to spend. And he will put the focus on American companies, not foreign companies. So, yeah. Explain crypto without Donald Trump. Crypto, has it broken $100,000 yet? It did yesterday. Yeah, last night. $100,000.

About 102,000 right now. So what do you think that is? What do you think that is? You know another thing he's responsible for? The pardon of Hunter Biden. And the blanket pardon of no matter what he's done for 10 years. That's happening. They didn't just pardon him for the taxes and for the drugs and everything else that he was charged with.

For the first time in history, I don't even know if it's legal. First time in history, they pardoned him for anything he might have done from 2014 to December 1st. Anything. You find he did anything wrong, he's pardoned for it. Why is that? Because radical transparency is coming. He's not going to go on a witch hunt. He's going to start exposing the truth by saying,

declassifying what's really been going on. Biden goes to Angola this week and he says, we want to rebuild you. We're going to give you a billion dollars. And yet there are still piles of houses 30 feet high in Appalachia. There are Americans struggling. This isn't a shadow government. This is a complete return to common sense.

And the world knows the next president means it. You know, when you know your mom's coming home and she said, when I get home, your room better be cleaned.

When you know mom's on the way, you're cleaning your room. That's all that's happening right now. All right, let me tell you about American financing. Even if things mostly go to plan over the next few months and years, we could see the start of another chapter, an amazing chapter of American economy. The odds are at least more in our favor than they were last few years. But I want you also to imagine what can happen. We are not out of the woods. The nuclear proliferation that is coming is

is going to be dramatic and also for a while we are going to have to do things like tariffs to fix our economy and fix our world. We have to pay for some of the things that we have done and it's going to be hard.

I want you to hedge your bet. I want you to look at the money that you've saved your whole life you've worked for and consider putting 10% of it into gold or silver. And if you're in debt, I want you to make sure that you are out of debt as much as you can be.

Mortgage refis, other forms of debt consolidation, even accessing the high equity that you have in your home to pay off high interest debts. American financing is there. They could be saving you as much as $800, $900, $1,000 a month.

You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck. Sit tight, boys and girls. We'll be right back after these messages. We have a huge hour coming up next. We have the Tennessee Attorney General who was actually arguing at the Supreme Court yesterday to protect children from mutilation. The...

The people who are arguing for mutilation, did you hear any of the testimony back and forth? Yeah, I heard a lot of the coverage at least of it. Holy cow. I don't even know how you get there. Well, Glenn, it's healthcare. And what I heard over and over again was that the medical establishment

that this is helpful. It's saving lives and conservatives... Did you hear Alito? Do we have time to play the Alito? Alito was pissed. Oh, I know. Play the Alito clip from this. A question about the state of medical evidence at the present time.

In your petition, you made a sweeping statement, which I will quote, overwhelming evidence establishes that the appropriate gender-affirming treatment with puberty blockers and hormones directly and substantially improves the physical psychological well-being of transgender adolescents with gender dysphoria. That was in November 2023. Now, even before then,

The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare wrote the following. They currently assess, quote, that the risks of puberty blockers and gender-affirming treatment are likely to outweigh the expected benefits of these treatments, which is directly contrary to the sweeping statement in your petition. After the filing of your petition, of course, we saw the release of the CAS report,

in the United Kingdom, which found a complete lack of high-quality evidence showing that the benefits of the treatments in question here outweigh the risks. And so I wonder if

You would like to stand by the statement that you made in your petition, or if you think it would now be appropriate to modify that, withdraw the statement that there is overwhelming evidence. We're going to go through a lot of this next hour. It's really, really good. Also, there is a huge warning flare today.

Even the Pope has come out and said the Islamization of Europe is now inevitable. And what's happening in Norway, we're going to cover in just a second.

The Glenn Beck Program. Let me tell you about Jace Medical. Right now, the United States relies on China. 80% of our generic medications. 80%. That should terrify people. Doesn't. You know, people are like, huh, that's everything. Boy, something could go wrong. And then they just don't think, they don't do anything about it.

China could turn that faucet off. I mean, we have tariffs that we're going to be threatening. They have also some things that they can threaten back. Good news is there is something you can do to ensure that you and your loved ones have medical care when needed. It's a solution that thousands of people have already discovered. It's called the Jace case and allow you to start stocking up on medication. So you're prepared.

It's about Europe, so you're not going to care quite as much, but it's not going to improve your mood. But then we're going to talk about the court case in front of the Supreme Court with the guy that was arguing the Supreme Court on gender mutilation, arguing against it yesterday. He's coming up in a few minutes as well. Stand by. Great hour coming up in 60 seconds.

I want to introduce you to a journalist from Norway. Her name is Rebecca Mr. Egan. I like to call her Mr. Reagan because it's just cooler, you know, for us Americans. Rebecca, how are you?

I'm good, thank you. How are you doing? I'm good. I've been following what's been going on, and most Americans have not. You know, we've talked off the air. You know, I was in

Sweden, I think, and was doing a piece exactly like 60 Minutes in Australia was doing about a year before. And the same thing happened. I was surrounded by a Muslim gang, and it was scary as hell. What's happening now in the Scandinavian countries, it looks like you're losing the country entirely. Yeah.

We are losing our countries entirely. And like you said, many Americans may not be aware of it, but Europe is no longer Europe and Scandinavia is no longer Scandinavia. I think Oriana Fale, she said it in 2003 already. But we've been watching you guys with horror for the past four years, because if you don't stop the illegal immigration that you're having, America will no longer be American. You're being the same boat as hell.

So the the American people have spoken out. And my hope is that Donald Trump, he's not the same man he was four years ago. He has changed and he is on a mission and he's going to stop all this crap. And my hope is, is that there will be other leaders around the world that will now step up into place and say, this is killing our country. There is not going to be a Western world left unscathed.

unless we do something. Is there any kind of movement in Norway like that? It's not racist. I would say everybody's racist. If you're not on board, we have, you know, Gert Wilders, Georgia Maloney, Victor Orban, Marilia Penn in the big European countries. But as in Scandinavia, you have,

I guess the best translation would be the Sweden Democrats, which is not a fitting name for their party, in my opinion. But they are doing some great work in Sweden. In Norway, unfortunately, we do not. And they made it extra hard. I think that was last year or two years ago to even create new parties.

So to come along with a new political party is nearly impossible. And mind you, we have about eight or nine. Don't quote me on that. I don't remember exactly the number that we have in parliament, but they all agree on the globalist agenda. So they bicker about the smaller things. And then behind closed doors, they're pretty much agreeing on the international stuff. So which is.

the policies of the day. We don't really have any national politics anymore, right? So that's the situation. You start to see people, I mean, in our Declaration of Independence, it says people are more likely to

you know, endure the pains, even when they start to really become very painful of a government that's out of control, than to go into the unknown and change that. But there is a breaking point. And we're seeing that breaking point in Germany. We're seeing that breaking point, I think, in England. Is there a breaking point? When do...

the people of Norway stand up and say, we count. We don't want to lose this culture.

I am not sure, but, and this is kind of strange, but the whole boulevard feed for the cows, the milk situation, I don't know if you're aware of it because it is going around Europe, but in Norway that has created a lot of engagement in the past week and a lot of pressure. And a lot of people are on, like if you screw with people's food, they get pissed off. Mind you, we've been, we've been paying, um,

terrorist organizations and states and giving money to everything else but the Norwegian people, but people aren't pissed off enough, basically. But the milk has actually turned something around in the last week. So I'm curious to see where that takes us. Yeah, it's weird. COVID is what broke the back in America. Once this COVID lockdown we saw, oh my gosh, they will put people in jail for going to church again.

That's what began to break the back. It's always something that you don't necessarily expect that is just the final straw. So hopefully that is happening. You also have a two-tier justice system where it's so insidious where Sharia law now is being enforced over Norwegian law, correct? Yeah.

Yes, you could say it like that. I mean, I knew it like that because we so we had a case now recently. It was about a teenage boy. He was in school. He had, I think, six or seven perpetrators. They beat him severely. It was in court a couple of weeks ago. And the case was that the eldest son.

boy or man, because he's 18, the 18 year old, he got off because he said that this kid that got beaten, he had said the word Negro behind closed doors. He didn't in fact hear it, but he was told that behind that door, he called somebody a Negro. So they went and they beat him. And then he got off because he was provoked. And if that is not closing into for real line of

justice system, I don't know what is. Because you're breaking the law, basically. You're violent, and then you get off. Rebecca, you watch the United States, you watch what's happening over here, and we've gone insane, but we're turning this corner. Do you think Europe is noticing this, and is any of this

giving them hope that things can reverse itself? Or do we just, is the media just made us look insane?

Both. The media is making you look insane. But for sure, there's a lot of hope. So we have seen the, I guess you could call it the right wing wave over Europe, right? It's the same thing in most European countries, but it doesn't reflect the media reporting. So I think we had, before the American election, we had a

some survey saying that most people in Norway would vote for Kamala. And then all of a sudden, this little survey comes along, which says that men under 30, 47% support Trump. And so it really depends who they ask. And a lot of people aren't very vocal in the Scandinavian countries. It's a cultural thing. We're just culturally introverted. And so they don't really speak up against the media. But the media is still...

portraying Trump as Hitler to this day, you know? So I would say the elitist class is very much saying and portraying and speaking of America as an insane country. But the masses think differently. It really is amazing to me how Norway and the Scandinavian countries, most of them, were...

On the front line of welcoming the Jewish refugee and protecting them and doing so much, the history is remarkable. And because you had such a homogenous society, everybody pretty much thought the same way. It's the only reason why those, you know, the socialist system that you have has been able to work a bit because everybody kind of thought alike. They were all, you know, they're not, they're not homogenous.

so disparate as we are here in America. But now that that's been used against you, and I can't imagine the fear. I see the things that are happening over there, and I think my wife, my daughters, I would never let them walk the streets in some of these cities.

No, for sure not. We're not allowed to protect ourselves either. Even pepper spray we're not allowed. Just mind you. We're not allowed to carry weapons. And you have these gangs roaming the streets. I think I saw, let's see what it was. It's a 200% increase in violence from children between the age of 6 and 15 in Oslo. Just in the past 19 years, 86% of these repeat juvenile offenders have a Muslim background.

We're talking about children stabbing, shooting and robbing people. It is absolutely insanity. And what does our government do? We have a Labour Party like the UK. So they are of the same mindset in many ways. And a lot of the stuff that Sweden has tried in the past, because we're about 10 years behind Sweden, they try to implement here to stop.

to quote unquote solve the problem. So the problem solving that they're discussing at the moment is hiring people, putting more state and government positions in place to have people follow these kids from 12, 13 and 14 year old criminals

pick them up in the morning, stay with them all day at school or the taxpayers pay for, uh, sports activities of their choice that they're also followed to and then taken back to their parents. So in principle that is hiring new parents for these, for these children. So these are the solutions our social state is coming up with to fight crime. So as you may understand, it's not going very well. Yeah.

Yeah, it's not. Rebecca, I'd love to stay in touch with you a little closer than we have and the producers too, because what's happening in Europe is...

is very important. And if America can turn the corner and start to lead the way again out of this mess, we have a chance. But if we don't start finding our spine in Europe, I feel like it's the 1930s in Europe. You better go visit Europe now because it's just not going to be the same. It's not already, but you just won't see. It is 1930. It is. It is here. We have armed police outside the Jewish kindergarten here.

We don't have an ambassador from Israel anymore. He left Norway and there is no replacement coming for him. Our foreign minister is a persona non grata in Israel.

sending tons of money to Hamas. This is Norway today. And we are already in the 1930s over here, Glenn. It's horrible. Rebecca, please pray for us that we are able to navigate these waters and can restore ourselves back to who we are, because there's got to be a leader. And I don't see a leader anywhere in the world except for

possibly Donald Trump and this new understanding here in America of what's coming. So please pray for us. We'll pray for you. Thanks, Rebecca. Thank you. You bet. We're in a weird, weird time. Very weird time. Let me tell you about My Patriot Supply. You want peace of mind, you know,

I talked to you about preparedness and a lot of people say, well, Donald Trump is in and so it's all going to be good. Well, the world, every time I've spoken to him one-on-one just two days ago, he brought up, if not twice, three times nuclear proliferation and Russia is our biggest problem. It could end everything in an hour. He is so concerned about war and all of the people that want war and

and all of the people around the world that don't want war. Things can change quickly. Please, just take this off your plate.

jack frost america you you need to pay attention to europe um i think i told you yesterday was it you telling somebody yesterday about um a friend that i made late in his life um uh oh geez now i can't think of his name um richard melonskafe he's the guy who started the heritage foundation everything else his dad was the guy who started the oss

you know, what became the secret service. He had amazing life. And about a week before he died, I was up at his house and he was going through all of his scrapbooks. And there, I mean, he was like American royalty. He was probably one of the last real industrial barren kind of money. His scrapbooks were huge. And, you know, I open them up and one of them is a picture of his sixth birthday happening in the depression. And,

All the kids around the table, all dressed in tuxedos and guys with white ties, tuxedos behind every chair while he at six is blowing out the candles of his cake. And he said, yeah, an oppression really didn't hit us very hard. Like, yeah, apparently not. But he said his dad had seen what was coming. And he said to the family, we are all going to take four months and we're going to Europe and we're going to go everywhere. And so I'm flipping through this and I'm like, is this,

That you and Churchill? Oh, yeah. Is that you and Hitler? And that's Mussolini? I mean, his father was big enough. He went and took the kids and the family and educated them. And they saw Europe before. And he said, I remember my father saying...

You will not see these countries. They will not look like this when you are older, when next time we come back, it won't look like this. Mid-30s. I've thought about that so much about Europe. You know, the Pope just said it's inevitable that the Islamization of Europe is coming. And

You know, I'm assuming he didn't mean it. I mean, I think the vicar of Christ, you know, shouldn't be like, yeah, well, it's inevitable. Let's go. I don't think that's what he meant, but he is the Jimmy Carter of popes. I'm sorry, Catholics, but an outside opinion. He's the Jimmy Carter of popes. But it's not. It's changing. It is changing. And if you want to see it, you want to know what it's like. I mean,

What we were facing and still may be facing here in America. I mean, America by 2030 is going to be so different, so different just because of technology. But because Donald Trump is going to start deporting and getting people out and we're returning to sanity here.

And we're going to be transparent and get the bad guys, hopefully out as many as we can out of our own government. Um, and, and begin looking at this place again, like a place that has a golden door because it's an important place. Um, we may survive, but the rest of the world, the Western world, you know, they don't have the world's reserve currency and they are bankrupting themselves by doing the same thing that is happening here. It's,

This is not how Democrats can look at this problem and say, we're just not being gracious enough. You know, we just we can't we will just keep taking these people in and not understand this is not an American thing. Why is this happening in every single Western country?

At the same time, with the same policies, the same response in the press, the same policies and politicians using exactly the same words and creating laws that use exactly the same words and phrases. This is a plan to destroy the West. I will say, too, a lot of the leaders who implemented those policies feeling the same fate politically that Kamala Harris just felt.

Who? Kamala Harris. She was the vice president. Well, she is the vice president. She was the former presidential candidate for the Democrats. Yeah. I remember her being around someplace. She's still the vice president. Yeah. You know Joe Biden's the president of the United States right now. I don't believe that. I don't believe it. I don't believe it either. I don't believe that. But in theory, it's true. I thought he was the lifeguard on the beach in Rehoboth. The poor children of Rehoboth. Yeah. Help! Help! Help!

But it's true, like the consequences of this behavior for the politicians that have implemented it has been considerable all around the world, not just here. Think of the billions, no, sorry, the trillions of dollars that are at stake with the transition. We are going to see things that we've only seen in movies, honestly.

It's a remarkable time to live in. All right, we're going to talk about the Supreme Court with the guy who argued it in the Supreme Court yesterday. Next.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. We're going to talk to the guy from Tennessee. He's the Attorney General of Tennessee who was arguing the case in front of the Supreme Court yesterday against child mutilation. It was pretty amazing. We're going to... Stations have to break early because he has a specific time. He's with the Supreme Court. He's got a specific time he can call in, so we're going to break early so we have more time with him. But let me just...

Let me just play some of the stuff that he had to put up with and answer yesterday. Let's play cut 12. Here's Sotomayor, uh,

And her comparison of trans surgery was something else. Listen to this. Cannot eliminate the risk of detransitioners. So it becomes a pure exercise of weighing benefits versus risk. And the question of how many minors have to have their bodies irreparably harmed for unproven benefits is one that is best left. I'm sorry, counselor. Every medical treatment has a risk, even taking aspirin.

There is always going to be a percentage of the population under any medical treatment that's going to suffer a harm. Uh-huh. True. Uh-huh. For a five-year-old, if a five-year-old is making...

Now, remember, Sotomayor is definitely not the leak of... Oh, we should point that out every time we talk about her, that she was not the leak of the Dobbs decision. No, no, no, absolutely not. I'm tired of hearing that. I hear it, too, all the time. All the time I hear it. It's almost like people think it's true. I know, and I got to tell you, uh-uh, not from us. Anyway, yeah, but there's a different... Aspirin doesn't make...

You sterile.

It doesn't change things in your body that are unchangeable, that can never be changed back. It's not mutilation. And your child is not the one who's in charge of the decision. Also, the negative irreversible effects are planned with these interventions. They're the intent of the intervention. Yes. Also, aspirin, you're going to have negative effects on aspirin. It's going to be because likely an overdose.

That's not... Like, you have an aspirin, like, very rare. You can have... High percentages of people have negative effects tied to these situations. And it's not because they're overdosing. It's because they're using it as directed by doctors. Okay, so that was Sotomayor, who is definitely not the lead. I know. Why do people... Stop saying that. Please stop saying that. Here is Ketanji with her. Who was...

Who was it again? It's, what's her name? Kataji Brown. Yeah, Jackson Brown. I don't know. The question was wet. She's so, go ahead, play it.

The question was whether it was discriminatory because it applied to both races and it wasn't necessarily invidious or whatever. But, you know, as I read the statute here, excuse me, the case here, you know, the court starts off by saying that Virginia is now one of 16 states which prohibit and punish marriages on the basis of racial classifications. And when you look at the structure of that law, it looks in terms of

You can't do something that is inconsistent with your own characteristics. It's sort of the same thing. So it's interesting to me that we now have this different argument. And I wonder whether Virginia could have gotten away with what they did here by just making a classification argument the way that Tennessee is in this case. Riveting. There's a reason they dramatize law and order. I mean...

I feel bad for our next guest because he had to answer to that. I feel bad. How do you not insult the court? Yeah. You know, how do you not say, I can't believe you're asking me that question.

I mean, are you out of your mind? Right. I had to just deal with the aspirin thing. Now this. What do you what? What? What is happening here? Yeah. You kind of just want to stop and say, you know, that question is about as dumb as what is a woman that you also couldn't answer. But let me go. Like, that's what you want. I mean, it's. And by the way, Katonji Brown Jackson is freaking Einstein compared to Sotomayor.

Well, Sotomayor, she at least is honorable and is not the one who leaked. Yes. Yes. Thank you for pointing that out. Because some people do think that Sotomayor or someone from her office was responsible. I don't even want to talk about it, Stu. I don't even want to talk about it. I don't want that rumor to spread and people think it's true.

Oh, that Sotomayor was the leak. Somebody, either her or somebody in her office. Was the leak of the Dobbs decision? Of the Dobbs decision, yeah. But she's a Supreme Court justice. Yeah, I know. Yeah. And some people think that. Some people do. Not me, of course. Oh, I know. You? Oh, gosh, me? No, I didn't even know about the theory until very recently. Anyway, we're going to take a quick break. We're not taking a quick break? Oh, we've got to cancel it. Mm-hmm.

The guest heard your pronunciation of Katonji Brown Jackson and was like, I am not calling you that. No, it's Katonji Jackson Brown. I don't think that's it.

You know what the deal is? I care so little. I don't know if that's just years and years of broadcasting just wearing me down to the point where I don't care. Oh, you're already in the Radio Hall of Fame. They can't take it away from you no matter what you call Hatanji Brown Jackson. Exactly right. There's nothing they can do. So Jumanji was talking yesterday about

Opening up the box and then all of a sudden you've got wild animals running at you. Anyway, I just don't really care at all. I think you do about this case. Oh, no, I care about the case.

Really? I mean, like, I care about Clarence Thomas. The guy is a genius. These two, it's like having me on the Supreme Court. Really? I mean, not to insult you, but it really is. No, I know. I mean, and I know. I don't take it as an insult. I know my limitations. I shouldn't be on the Supreme Court. Right. Sotomayor is in that category. Just like, this is, what was, how did this happen? I mean, Katonji Brown-Jackson is...

You know, Kagan, I think, is actually pretty smart. I do, too. But just incredibly liberal. Yeah, I do, too. Sotomayor is another category. I don't know this, but I think people like Mike Lee could be friends with... Elena Kagan. Kagan. Yeah. Even though they disagree with everything. Right. He at least would have respect for her intellect. Can't have respect for Sotomayor. Kataji Brown Jackson, I don't know enough yet. I mean, but...

The, you know, I can't define a woman. I'm not a biologist. Exchange points me in the direction that she's not a serious person. Yeah. That's not a serious person can absolutely handle that question. Now, it's funny you bring up Thomas because forever I've said I think he's the most important man in the world.

Yeah. Because, I mean, without him, I don't know where we'd be. I will say Sam Alito is challenging him lately. He is. He's on his coat. Right on his heels. I know. And they both have to be replaced by Donald Trump. They have to. I mean, they don't have to. I don't know that they will. I know. Unless everything is just peaches and cream.

I would be like, could we, guys? We don't want the Ruth Bader Ginsburg thing to happen. I do not want, yeah, I don't want, I mean, because those two guys, they're the ones holding the whole thing up.

And they have to be replaced with, you know. I hate to note this, but the reason why there are two things, there are two people pulling this up is because other conservative justices haven't been exactly as successful with those picks. And I'm nervous about new picks being put in because I'm not confident they're going to be as good as Thomas Aurelio. As we talked about yesterday, I got a...

A 1940s rat made by Ian Fleming with a bomb in its butt into Mar-a-Lago. You did. Okay. Yes, you did. It took a lot. Yes. But I got it. I can do that. I can certainly hide under the desk. And when he's like, I'm going to swear this person in, I can just cross out the name and go, Mike Lee.

Mike Lee would be fantastic. Absolutely. And you wouldn't miss with that pick. No, you wouldn't miss. And he's well liked enough, I think, in the Senate to actually get confirmed. Oh, yeah. You know, I say horrible things, but what do you have on Mike Lee? He likes ice cream an awful lot. Yeah. He says, gosh, darn it. Sometimes, you know, when he gets really mad. Oh, heck no.

To heck with them. Yeah. So I mean, what would you say against him? I mean, they would say all sorts of terrible things about him, but they wouldn't be true. You know, I'm just I'm worried because if you think about it this way, one way to look at this is whoever replaces a Thomas or Alito would be basically Donald Trump's fourth choice.

I hope he has seven. I mean, look, I'm not saying he can't nail his fourth choice. And, you know, maybe he picked them in an order he wouldn't have preferred for extenuating circumstances. There's some reporting to that effect that, you know, Kavanaugh in particular was a guy who was, you know, a circumstantial pick.

Remember, neither Kavanaugh or Amy Coney Barrett were on the original list that Donald Trump had when he came into office. Both of them were added after he was president. I know, I know. And I don't know. I mean, I'm not... I think his picks have been good enough that I...

I'd roll the dice, but it does make me nervous. But also what makes me nervous is our ages that start going into the 70s and 80s and beyond. So I think you may have to well make that choice. At some point it ends. I will say, Clarence Thomas, I don't know. I don't know that he's just going to leave. Everyone's like, oh, well, he's just going to go because Trump's president. I don't know. He's a really important figure. And I think he's also, and he's completely there. And I think he's also like-

you know what? Screw you. Yeah, I kind of might be that way too. Now, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was also that way. Yes. And that's the warning there. Right. But I mean, like, you know, it's not like there's serious health problems here. I love what they're doing on the left. They're like, I don't know, Sotomayor, she's got diabetes.

Okay. A lot of people have diabetes. There's no serious... I don't know. She has restless leg syndrome. Should we put her down and put somebody new in? What are you talking about? It's bizarre. I think they're honestly just embarrassed by her. I think they're just like, look...

We want a liberal. Can we get somebody who at least sounds smart? There's so many. But that's such a long list of dumb people that they would have to go through. Why start there? That's a good point. You just ran probably the top of that long list as president. No, that's happening in 2028 when AOC runs. All right, back in just a second.

These days, it seems like every time you turn around, some other company out there is finding out the hard way. You know what happens when you go woke, you go broke. Patriot Mobile has never had that problem. Patriot Mobile exists to honestly, this is the real reason, they found a way if they could become a great national cellular service company that saved you money, that gave you the same coverage,

They could then take some of their profit and help save the country and fight for conservative things. That's really what they do. That's why their name is Patriot Mobile. They're not ashamed of it. They stand behind the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and they do it locally, locally.

All right. Milestone, a single Bitcoin now is $101,321.

That's incredible. It pays to listen to the Glenn Beck program. Yeah. I will say most of the posts I was posting about this when it first happened last night and tons of posts or people from the audience. Oh, I remember hearing you talk about this in like 2013. Yeah. So do I. Why didn't I jump on? Exactly. I remember talking about it in 2010 and going, I don't know. Yeah.

It's incredible. It's weird how we look at it as this big missed opportunity. And a lot of people it was. I've talked to a lot of people who every time it hits this milestone, they tell me the same story. Oh, gosh, why didn't I buy when it was $20,000? Oh, gosh, why didn't I buy when it was $5,000? Oh, gosh, why didn't I buy when it was $1,000?

You know, at the end of the day, if you did purchase some and you made some money and you made some gains, it's fantastic. And even if you sold it, good for you. Yeah. You know, there's the guy, the Bitcoin pizza guy. Yeah. Who... I think he's a liar. No. What do you mean? I think he's fashioning a rope out of his own hair.

to hang himself because i've heard him say i don't regret buying that pizza at all right well so if you don't know the story billion dollars yeah so if you don't know the story he it was the first known purchase of something with bitcoin he bought 10 for 10 000 bitcoin he got two papa john's pizzas which by the way i saw the picture today terrible topic coverage on this pizza there's like a third of the pizza

That's just cheese. And it's supposed to be a supreme. It's just terrible. Papa John's should give this guy free pizza for the rest of his life. But he spent 10,000 Bitcoin on it. That would be over a billion dollars today for two pizzas and Papa John's pizzas. I'm just throwing that out there as well. And he's like, you know, I did it. It's no big deal.

liar. Right. I mean, it's got to, you got to have, you got to be at times at some point as you're driving your, your 1978 Pinto that's barely running going. I will say it's somewhat heroic though. I mean, you know, someone had to have the first, the first transaction. None of this would have happened without somebody doing that. So I think that's his reasoning, right? That he's helped build something really, really important. But I mean, it's incredible. And I think a lot of people who bought and sold and didn't get the Mac

profit. I feel this way sometimes. I don't have a lot of Bitcoin, but I was able to make some profits off of it. But I have sold some in the past. Do I wish I still had that? Sure. Do I wish I would have just put every dime in my bank account in it back when I first heard about it, whenever that was? Sure. Glenn, for example, could be a trillionaire right now. That's why. What did you say? He blew it. This does go through my mind all the time. I've got to stop thinking about this. 30 cents.

And I'm in Mark Andreessen's office. And he says, you know anything about Bitcoin? You should throw, you know, maybe 10 grand into that. I'm going to start something called Coinbase soon. And I'm like, well, that's going to work. I'm going to buy myself some pizzas. What a dope. What a dope. All right. We'll see you tomorrow. Thank God he saved the Republic. The Glenn Beck Program.
