What the Left Gets Wrong About Trump Supporters | 11/7/24

Stu and I want to talk to you here a little bit about Rough Greens. Yeah, Rough Greens helps your dog. How about that? Rough Greens is something you just put on your dog food. It's not a dog food itself. It is a supplement that you add to your dog food. And, you know, I have had both puppies and we still have one that's pretty young and multiple pugs that went to 18 years old. So...

It's interesting to see how it works with both types of dogs. You know, you think it might help with your older dog that needs a little bit of a boost, but also, you know, your younger dogs seem to be happy, more playful, and I don't know. I mean, you know it's giving you all the stuff that your dogs need. And, you know, you, your mother advises you to eat your vegetables. And that's kind of like what Rough Greens is for your dog. So...

It's something I think you're going to really love if you love your dog, and you probably do. Go to roughgreens.com slash Beck. Roughgreens.com slash Beck.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment.

And enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. There is a fundamental misunderstanding of what Trump supporters want. What the voters, the majority of Americans voted for.

If you look at the New York Times, there's two op-eds today in the New York Times that are just incredible. I want to talk to you today about what we really believe, what this fight is really about. Because they think it's about fascism, they think it's about revenge, they think it's about sexism, racism, and they couldn't be more wrong. We begin there in 60 seconds.

Let me tell you first about relief factor. It's time to take your life back from the pain that's been keeping you down. You know who you are. You know what you've been fighting and that pain has

So one of the op-eds in the New York Times today is Trump's America. His comeback victory signals a different kind of country from the New York Times. In her closing rally on the Ellipse last week, Kamala Harris scorned Donald J. Trump as an outlier who didn't represent America. That's not who we are, she declared. In fact, it turns out that that may exactly be who we are, at least most of us. The

The assumption that Mr. Trump represented an anomaly who would at last be consigned to the ash heap of history was washed away Tuesday night by a red current that swept through the battleground states and swept away the understanding of America long nurtured by its ruling elite of both parties. No longer can the political establishment write off Mr. Trump as a temporary break from the long march of progress.

Populist disenchantment with the nation's direction and resentment against elites proved to be deeper and more profound than many in both parties had recognized.

While tens of millions of voters still cast their ballots against Mr. Trump, he once again tapped into a sense, among many others, that the country they knew was slipping away under siege economically, culturally, and demographically. To counter that, those voters ratified the return of a brash 78-year-old champion willing to upend convention and take radical action even if it offends the sensibilities or violates old standards.

Any misgivings about their chosen leader was shoved to the side. As a result, for the first time in history, Americans have elected a convicted criminal as president. They handed power back to a leader who tried to overturn a previous election, called for the termination of the Constitution, and aspired to be a dictator on day one, and vowed to exact retribution against his adversaries.

To Mr. Trump's allies, the election vindicates his argument that Washington has grown out of touch, that America is a country weary of overseas wars. The Trump presidency speaks to the depth of marginalization felt by those who believe they have been in the cultural wilderness for too long and their faith in this one person who has given voice to their frustration and his ability to center them in American life.

Rather than be turned off by Trump's flagrant, anger-based appeals along the lines of race, gender, religion, national origin, especially transgender ideology, many Americans found them bracing. Rather than be offended by his brazen lies or wild conspiracy theories, many found him authentic. Rather than dismiss him as a felon found by various courts to be a fraudster, cheater, sexual abuser, and defamer,

Many embraced his assertion that he has been the victim of persecution. This election, quoting, was a cat scan on the American people. And as difficult as it is to say, as hard as it is to name, what it revealed, at least in part, is a frightening affinity for a man of borderless corruption. That is from the former strategic advisor to President George W. Bush.

Then they go on for two paragraphs about, you know, oh boy, they were bad.

but then they write, then they're right back into, um, Donald Trump, the coalition that elected them, wanted them to unite the country and they failed to do so. And their failure resulted in further disillusionment with our country's politics and empowered the Trump base. Um,

Trump has been conditioning Americans throughout this campaign to see American democracy as a failed experiment, said historian and author of Strongman. Let me say that again. Trump has been conditioning Americans throughout this campaign to see American democracy as a failed experiment. No, I've never heard him say that. I've never heard anybody that supports him say that.

A victory for Trump would mean that this vision of America and the recourse to violence as a means of solving political problems has triumphed, she continued.

Talking to Mr. Short, whoever Mr. Short is, predicted another four years of chaos and uncertainty. I would anticipate a lot of volatility, personnel, but also significant boomerangs on policy. Not boomerangs from Biden-Harris, but boomerangs from himself. You'll have one position one day and another position the next. Okay, so they go on and they really, truly do not understand politics.

What's happened now? This is self-imposed ignorance because it's really not that hard to figure out. And I do believe it comes from a misunderstanding of what our country is. They're looking at our country the way Woodrow Wilson defined it. And that is an administrative state.

What is in the American soul is something entirely different. And I want to talk about that in 60 seconds. Let me take a quick early break so I can go into what we're really all about, at least the way I feel. The sponsor is American Financing.

Trump winning is the miracle we needed, but it didn't fix everything and it's not going to fix it overnight. When the going gets rough financially, which we still have a lot of ramifications to pay for.

The best thing you can do is have somebody on your side, not just anyone, but somebody who's there to help dig your way out and knows how to do it. There is a salary-based mortgage consultant at American Financing waiting on the other end of the phone for you to call so they can be that person for you. They've helped so many people in this audience already. For over two decades, American Financing has been helping people like you get to where they need to

be, and they could help you and your family as well. So call American Financing at 800-906-2440. 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net. That's AmericanFinancing.net. 10 seconds. Oh. NMLS-182334. NMLSConsumerAccess.org. APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers. Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

Now, 10 seconds, stay tuned. All right, so who are we? What is it that we fight for? We see America more in the tradition of the founding fathers. Now, I know if you're somebody on the left, if you're somebody especially, you know, in the elite government or, you know, fascists,

Somebody who went to Harvard. You might roll your eyes at this because you think this is all trite.

But many Americans believe this. We believe that the American spirit is a force that inspires dreams. It also has fueled revolutions. It's also driven some of the greatest innovations and achievements the world has ever seen. We believe that. We believe in the American individual. Now, you might say you do, but I don't think you do.

Because you want somebody to tell all of the individuals exactly what they must believe, what they must live, what they must eat, what they must drive, what they must teach their children. We don't believe that. We don't believe that. And it's not just for us. It is for people who want to live a transgendered life. I don't care if you want to live a transgendered life. I feel for you. I do. I feel for you. I feel your pain.

The pain that you must have gone through your whole life. I don't want you to go through that pain. But don't force me and my family to lie about science because you feel bad. You might feel horrible. I know I did as an alcoholic and as somebody who actually considered suicide. I know what feeling bad feels like. But only the truth will set you free.

I can't further the lie because it only will hurt more people. Now, the American spirit, this is what brought settlers across the oceans here.

Across rugged mountains that nobody thought. They risk life and limb just to get away from the big European state that told them, you'll never make it. You can't do it. Your family's worthless. You don't have the right credentials. They crossed oceans to get away from that. To put that into perspective, that is almost like going to the moon today.

These were people who were like, screw it, man. This is the spirit that took on the tyrants and the empires that declared that there were such thing as free men and free women and distant rulers and aristocrats and those in the black robes. They don't determine our destiny. We do. And it's something that transcends race and religion or class.

You know why a lot of people, a lot of people that you say are racist, I know racism exists, but not the way you think it does. You think we're all born racist. I don't believe that. You have to be taught how to hate.

You have to be taught how to hate the other side. And many of us believe that is what you're teaching with anti-racism. Only racism, you believe, can stop racism. So I have to be taught to hate to stop hate? That doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. We're just looking for common sense. We're looking for science.

and reason to be fixed firmly in her seat. When we say we believe that America is exceptional, why do you think we say that? Because we're arrogant? Because we're white? Because... What? Because we believe in God? It's none of that. What makes us exceptional is this American spirit that

It's not chance. It's not entitlement. It's through toil and courage and vision of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. That's what makes us exceptional. We are exceptional because the rest of the world has been told, shut up and sit down. You cannot do that. What makes us exceptional is that we say, for you to tell me that.

You don't control my life. You don't control my vision. You don't control my every movement. I believe we can do extraordinary things. That's why every American should embrace Elon Musk. And every American did embrace at least the spirit of Elon Musk until politics were introduced.

I wasn't against Elon Musk and his cars and everything else when he was, quote, on the other side. I don't think he's changed. He still believes all that stuff about global warming that I don't believe. But I didn't wish him ill. I didn't want him deported. I didn't want him shut up. I didn't want to destroy his company. I rooted for him to go to Mars. I still root for him to go to Mars. You know why? Because that's an ordinary person.

who has an extraordinary vision, who can articulate that vision and execute it. I want man to win. Our founders knew that governments left unchecked would accumulate power at the expense of the individual. We have been on this road that you in the New York Times may say is traditional politics.

You may say it's accepted, it's the way we are. Well, but that is a perversion. We switched train tracks about 1916. We developed this new idea that man cannot rule himself. This is actually an ancient idea, but it was new in America. Man cannot rule himself.

Man has to have an overseer, a government, somebody in the government, somebody preferably not elected, just a faceless bureaucrat that could nudge people the right way. We don't want to be nudged. We're much more direct than that.

You don't understand who Americans are. We are frank and blunt. We're polite. We don't want to argue about politics. We don't want to argue about sex. We don't want to argue about religion. We don't want to argue about any of that stuff. So we're polite in polite company. Most of us were taught you don't talk about those things. Why? Because it deepens the division. Just you be you, boo. I'll be me.

But we can't have those conversations anymore. And we need to because that's who we are. I'll fight for your right to be whoever it is you think you are. Oh, you're a marshmallow, a unicorn that turns into marshmallows at night. Okay. Hey, she's not a marshmallow. That's right. She's not. But she has a right to believe that. She wants to say that. She has every right. Shut up. Sit down.

But you want me to say, no, she is a unicorn that turns into a marshmallow at night. No, no. I'll fight for your right to say what you believe. But I'm also going to fight for everybody else's right, including mine, to say you're wrong. This system of government that started with Woodrow Wilson is ancient. We call it progressivism now, but it was ancient.

It was the tool of the tyrants going all the way back, I'm sure, to cavemen. This government has become corrupt. Corrupt. We should all be on the same side. If Donald Trump was taking money from China and he was enriching his children...

Because they were meeting with the Chinese and then trying to influence him. I would want them to go to jail because I don't want corruption. You don't take foreign money on the down low. I think we're being consistent, but you don't because you fundamentally misunderstand. You keep quoting the Constitution, but I don't think you understand the Constitution.

This is a framework that is designed to empower people and restrict the government. You interpret the Constitution as something that empowers the government and restricts the people. Only one of us can be right. And if you actually read the document, you'll know which one is true. That's what leads us back to American exceptionalism.

All right, more in a second. I just I I feel like we need to explain to the left in a very clear way, but a very kind way. I'm trying to be kind. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what we want. We don't want to control your life. We have no desire to be in your bedroom. We have no desire, nor will we round groups of people up.

That's what progressives did with FDR, not constitutional conservatives. Okay, American giant, American giant, what actually matters to you today? I know that family matters to you. Faith matters to you. Living a life of integrity matters to you. And America matters to you. Well, let's just take that last one. How do we help America?

Well, one of the things we have to do is we have to start making things on our own again. We have to start being a country that believes in itself, that knows the value of hard work, knows the value of being self-reliant and making things again. We used to make some of the best clothing, the best fabrics in the world. We don't anymore.

American Giant, however, is trying to revive that. They take American cotton, American workers, American quality, and they make great clothing. They make the best hoodie and sweatshirt that you, I mean, they're using the way we used to do it in the 1950s and 60s, and

And then we stopped making it like that. Well, you can buy cheap stuff with the cheap quality, or you can buy the quality unmatched anywhere in the world from American Giant.

This is the Glenn Beck program. Two days now after the election, there still seems to be an awful lot of confusion about what America just voted for. So I would like to express.

my views on what we voted for and define who we are. But I'd also like you to jump on the phone today at 888-727-BECK and tell me what you voted for, because they think that we voted for racism, sexism and everything else. So let's what is our positive message? What can we guarantee the other half of the country that we are voting for, that we are in lockstep with them or should be?

Because we are following the Constitution. Now, they will roll their eyes, I fear. Some will roll their eyes because they don't believe in the words of the Founding Father. It is... Honestly, it's like I was when I was getting... But for many of us...

We couldn't even quote beyond that line in the Declaration. Many of us now can tell you everything you need to know about the Declaration of Independence because we rediscovered it. It was kind of just something that we said by rote for a long time. But when you're pushed up against the wall for 20 years and told that you're a racist, a bigot, and what you believe, you have to ask, is that what I believe?

So they're still at this place to where many of them, I think, just based on their own words and actions, don't understand who we are and what we actually believe. We don't say we believe the Constitution, at least I don't, say that we believe in the Constitution and now let's go violate it. No, we believe in the Constitution.

And we haven't always been there. I've changed a lot. But let's come back to the spirit of America that I think we voted for and I think Donald Trump represented to many of us. Our founders knew that human beings could do incredible things if they were set free and not micromanaged.

So they set about creating a system where self-government was not only possible, but it was protected. And that's the United States Constitution. And it's a document unlike any other document in human history. Its framework is designed to empower the little guy, not to empower the government. It's built upon the idea that sovereignty rests not with the government, but with the people. That government's role is not to dictate sovereignty,

Government's role is to serve. That is so important, especially when you see how we are supposed to be managing ourselves from the local, then the state, then the federal government. That's how this system works from the bottom up. Grassroots, as everybody likes to say. It's not astroturf.

Now, many of us on the right have completely forgotten about this system. We didn't pay attention to our local communities and our states. We are now. We've learned a lesson. Have you learned a lesson? Or have we just switched sides? Our government should be there to tell us to rely on yourself. Rely on your family first. Rely on your neighbors first.

Then rely on your state. And then, then if you can't do it, this is what the pioneers and the original American dreamers embodied, that resilience, that endless font of resources that they would come up with, they would find, they would discover. That's defining the American culture. And that's what we're missing. We're missing the idea that

that man can do amazing things, but he needs a few principles. But one of them is, dude, you come into the world alone and you leave the world alone. It's all up to you and what you do with that time in between. Now, there's lots of us to help. There's lots of people that'll try to, you know, they get their kicks out of stomping on dreams.

But that is the old way, getting your kicks stomping on somebody's dream. Getting your kicks because I disagree with you political. We need to deport Elon Musk. We need to shut him down. We need to silence him. We need to not let his rockets launch from our state. That's stomping on dreams. This is what we fight for.

We fight for the Constitution, which demands local control, then state control, and then... I mean, look at the hurricane response. We lead...

And Washington fills in the gaps. That's the way it's supposed to work. But for the last hundred years, FEMA and things like that have gone greater and greater out of control. Jimmy Carter is the first guy to say, you know, we're waiting for the first responders. That's a phrase that he came up with, first responders. No, Americans always found themselves to be the first responders.

So we kind of got used to that. And we saw the results of being used to that in the hurricane response. You didn't come with rescue helicopters. Okay? When you didn't come with rescue helicopters, we found them. We fueled them. We controlled the airspace. We manned them. Now...

That's fine. I have no problem doing that. If that isn't part of your disaster relief program, then we will do it. But if the basic rescue somebody who's on the rooftop of their house with a very high-priced helicopter is not in your purview, if that's not part of your rescue and disaster relief, then I don't know what is in your disaster relief.

disaster relief plan. But see, you do because you redefined your job description over the last four years at FEMA. You now use these disasters to redesign our communities, to redesign the way we gather, the way we live, how we build. No, that is not your department. That is our department.

That is our right. The government has no place there. Do you think Texas should be able to declare war on Iran? Let's say Iran launches a missile and it blows up Dallas. Do you think that Texans should be the first to respond? And Texans are like, you know what? We declare war on Iran. Believe me, we'd win. But do they have the right to do that? No.

Why? The Constitution makes it extraordinarily clear. Only the federal government can declare war. The states can't do that. Only the federal government. Why? Because we can't have, you know, I live in Idaho or I live in Ohio. I live in Vermont. Texas declares war on Mexico. Wait a minute. What does that mean for me? Do I have to go to war too?

If it's important for the entire country and it's life and death like that and a war with another country can only be fought well by Texas or the entire United States of America. Texas was probably a bad example because I think they'd kick the ass of just about anybody, but...

We're either all in or we're all not when it comes to war. Which brings me to another thing. We vote for the end of these wars because we have seen that it doesn't work. Here's the craziest thing. Let me say clearly to those who were Democrats and liberals, you were right.

These endless wars, everything that we did in Iraq, the way we fought in Afghanistan, you were right. Why have you abandoned that? Why have you roped us in to another endless war? Why? You used to be the one saying that we need Congress to declare a war.

We're now with you. Why have you abandoned that? Honestly, if you just would remember the principles that you used to believe in, I tell you, many of us, I would right now admit on some things like war, you were absolutely right. I'm glad to join your ranks, but you left that position. While I have changed,

You have changed. And it seems like neither one of us really understand. I got so much more to say. Uh, let me take some of your phone calls and then at the top of next hour, I'll continue trying to define for the left who we are, what we believe. If you disagree with any of this and you're like, Glenn, what you're saying is nonsense. Please let me know. But I want to hear not only any corrections that you might have on what I just said, but, uh,

But I also want to hear the positive vision. Let's articulate what we're for, not what we're against. What are we for? Because the left, and especially the media, doesn't understand. Great. Let's give them a little tutorial.

They might roll their eyes at it. That's fine. They might think it's quaint or outdated or that we're lying. That's fine. We can only do what we can do. So let's do our best to say this is what we are for. 888-727-BECK, 888-727-BECK. More in a minute. Now, I value my sanity such as it is.

which is why I, you know, when we look for things like selling our house, I really want to make sure that I've got somebody on my side that, you know, can help me sell that house. I needed, I need to have somebody who is competent and,

an active real estate agent, somebody who that's their full-time job, somebody who knows the best practices, somebody who understands the internet. That's the way to advertise. That's the way. When I post my house someplace, I want to post it where all the traffic is already. So how do they do that? Well, this is why I formed Real Estate Agents I Trust. It's a company that just vets real estate agents in your area.

and then recommends them to you. We expect you and want you to do your own homework on them, but I think we've done a lot of the heavy lifting. We know that these are the people who are full-time best in your area as far as sales, and then we get to know them personally. I mean, it's everything but a rubber glove when you're dealing with my company because I want to make sure

It's my name that is making you call these people. And when I say we can trust them and they're just like you, they kind of have the same values as you, you're going to find a friend, I want to make sure that's right. By the way, I was just talking to the guy, John Wells, who runs all this part of the division of the company.

And I said, how are we doing? Are we checking up on everybody? He's like, Glenn, we check up on them after every sale. We make sure. And he said, remember, we have a one-strike policy. You violate any of the principles that we're telling people about, you're out. One strike.

One strike. You don't get a second chance. You're going to like these people and they'll help you sell your house and find the right house, whether it's across the street or across the nation. Realestateagentsitrust.com. Realestateagentsitrust.com. You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

so did you hear about these cyber scammers on the news who tried to steal graceland from elvis presley's family just a minor thing you know i mean look we all steal things from time to time why not steal graceland it would make a good movie unfortunately it was a little bit more boring than that because it didn't wind up succeeding largely because people said i don't think the presley estate just sold this to some random which wound up being a woman in missouri um so no that didn't happen but

you know the news is probably not going to cover your home if it gets stolen they're not going to be it's going to be a major national story uh people just wind up getting hit with this stuff there's 16 trillion dollars in available equity into our home so you don't need like a big handful of the cash there just a little tiny spoon just gets you a lot a lot of money if you happen to be a cyber scammer so how do you stop this well home title lock is the way to do it it's the easiest way to do it i mean you could i guess wait for it to happen to you and then try to

unwind everything through the local government and your insurance companies and the title companies and the banks and all these other things and try to get your money back maybe it will succeed or you could just stop it before it starts with home title locks triple lock protection

I'd recommend that that one makes it a lot easier just sign up with your address at hometitlelock.com be sure to use the promo code Blaze you'll receive a complete title scan of your home's title and your first 30 days of triple lock protection are free hometitlelock.com hometitlelock.com the code is Blaze hometitlelock.com I got the final master of Cheyenne's uh album the

Christmas album produced by me and the Czech Republic, the Prague Symphony Orchestra. It's an amazing piece of work. And I can't wait for you to hear the whole thing. I think you're really going to really love it. Everything is a standard, so you'll be able to sing along with every single song.

Uh, it comes out in, I don't know, a week or two. Uh, we'll give you more information. You can pre-order it's very soon. So standby. Um, I want to take your phone calls today. I, I, I think we should lead the way in. And I know, I mean, there's part of me and I'm going to talk about this next hour. There's part of me that's like, I really don't want to forgive and forget, but that's not what we should be doing. Um,

Yesterday, we gloated a little bit, and I think that was fair and natural and had to be expressed. Today is a day that we should start really looking now towards the future because we are back in the driver's seat. We are the ones that can shape.

Last time, the left just left us in the dust and they didn't really care about us. I do. I care about the other side. We have to stop the hatred. We have to stop. We have to find ways to come together. So let's do our best. Whether it'll work or not, I don't know. So tell the people in the press that have us 100% wrong, what is it that we voted for? Brian in Georgia, what is it that you voted for?

Some balance. Because with a two-party system, we're not necessarily going to have the ability to choose, right? At least half the country is going to not get their way. So I think if we're all aiming for some balance, that's probably the best for everybody. So now, how do you find that balance? I find that balance through the balance of power, the balance of the Constitution, where

The government's not making all of our decisions that every state can be different. California can be California. Just don't force me to be like California. I don't live there for a reason.

Does that make sense to you? No, it makes sense. I mean, coming from the time when we were very kinetic during the global war on terror to whatever we're in right now with misinformation and psychological warfare, everybody just needs to be remembering, do some research about the paradox of choice. Understand that the things that we choose can be used to manipulate us. So it's just really, it's a good time to harden your beliefs in yourself, in your community, because what you see may not be what...

or even the accepted reality of everybody else. You know, perception is a very... Ryan, would I like to spend an evening just talking with you, somebody who understands how we are losing the freedom of choice and not just from government, but from the way things are being presented to us in the media? Yeah.

You might think you have freedom of choice, but have you been manipulated by a corporation, by an agenda, whatever? Freedom of choice. Great comment, Brian. Thank you. The Glenn Beck Program. Let me tell you about Jace Medical. I want to talk to you about Jace Medical just in case there is a breakdown, worst case scenario. I am so happy with the direction of our country right now. I hope that...

We're not going to have massive problems here in the next 71 days, 70 days.

But if we do, you should be prepared for it. But even if you're just at your house and there's, I mean, how many times have you walked into a pharmacy and they're like, ah, we don't have that medication right now.

This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. I'm trying to find a way to reach the people who are still so very confused in the media and on the left. I mean, we have a lot of neighbors who actually believe that we were voting for a fascist, that we want to scoop people up, even though we've never said that. We would never support that. They have been convinced by...

I don't know, the elite dictators that are in Washington or the elite dictators that think they know better than everyone else because they have a degree from Columbia University. And so they can tell us the lies that they believe on television day after day after day. Well, some people are really kind of worried. I think we should address those worries. I want...

I want you to define what you voted for, because I don't think it was fascism. I'm pretty sure it wasn't. It wasn't racism. It wasn't sexism. It wasn't to scoop people up in the middle of the night or take away anybody's rights. I've been trying to describe for me what I believe.

Well, what I know I was voting for and what I believe the message is to the left, I want to continue that and take your phone calls 888-727-BECK. But first, let me tell you about the Leaf home gutter system. With the colder weather and the leaves dying off, fall will be all over the ground except for the part that's going to fall into your gutters and clog up your gutters around your house.

In years past, when you have that problem, you have to solve it. I mean, I tried it with a trampoline and a butterfly net, but I don't recommend that.

Unless you live by an attorney. I think he was the one who was like, you know, have you tried a trampoline? Anyway, thank goodness for the Leaf Filter from Leaf Home Gutters. It's a filter for your house's gutters that helps protect your home from flooding, roof damage, rotting siding, foundation issues, all of that and so much more. You'll never have to think about your gutters again. Protect your home and never clean out your gutters again with Leaf Filters.

So what is it that, what is the vision that we are looking for?

Well, when Donald Trump says make America great again, it has been mocked or made into MAGA and dismissed. But it is what we mean. Make America great again. Make it a place where our aspirations are bigger than what we're looking at today. That our aspirations are so big that maybe our children can accomplish those things.

In a world that increasingly values conformity and control, everybody must march in the same line.

America is the only place that remains a testament of what free people can do and accomplish. And we're losing that. You know, one of the things I'm a car collector. I love cars. And I said to my son the other day, tell me what car is out today. That's not a supercar that you will look back and go, oh, I remember that in my childhood.

Nothing. They all look exactly the same. I mean, you're driving down the road. You can't tell the difference between cars. The reason I like the Cybertruck, because I think it's pretty ugly, but the reason why I like it is because it's totally different. That's America. Something totally different.

Liberty is not just an abstract principle. It is a living, breathing force that drives individuals to be better, to reach higher, to give more. But to have that, you have to have your own free will. You have to—that's going to leave a mark. You have to make mistakes, and you have to feel the impact of those mistakes.

The American way of life is not about following orders or accepting limitations. It's about pushing boundaries, breaking barriers, redefining what's possible. I'm not going to take ADD medication and sit into a class and learn exactly what everybody needs to learn to be a good person that stands in line and makes widgets because I don't want to make widgets. Some people might want to make widgets, but that's not me.

I'm still rooting for Elon Musk. I was rooting for him at the beginning when he supposedly didn't agree with me on stuff. And now that we agree on who should be president, the people who were rooting for Elon Musk, all for the right reasons, have changed. Well, wait.

I wanted him to go to Mars when the left was celebrating him. I want him to go to Mars because his politics don't have anything to do with what he's doing. You celebrate him then and now for his vision. I want the single man with an idea that it can overcome all of the art, the obstacles, bring people together from all walks of life and accomplish what the world says cannot be accomplished.

That's America. That's not South Africa. That's not Europe. That's America. There's a reason people say only in America. And that's becoming a slam on us. That's becoming a sign of insanity. Look, there's a bunch of people dressed as dogs with a dog collar and somebody dressed in leather spikes walking them. Well, only in America. That's not who I want to be known as.

Now, you can do that all you want, but I don't have to celebrate it, and I don't want it to be the hallmark of our country. In defending the American spirit, in renewing the American experience, in having someone articulate, you don't need to live this way. We can be better than this.

That's a defense not just of a way of life, but a vision of humanity at its best. America has been a vision that believes in the potential of every person to make a difference. Every person. And to make a difference, sometimes it means you fail and fail horribly, loudly. But then you change your life. And in doing so, you change the world.

It's a vision that holds that true greatness comes not from power or money or privilege or race. It comes from character and courage and conviction. And yeah, that's hard. That's hard. When your ancestors came here long ago, they probably weren't accepted either, which is so strange because we are a nation of immigrants. But that's human nature. That's not American. That's human nature.

The founders knew this, so they put a check on government. So while those things might happen, the government shouldn't have and can't have the power to round people up. I'm not for rounding people up that disagree. I celebrate the fact that the view is on. I just wish ABC, I wish ABC wasn't just open to those voices and didn't hate the other point of view.

But that's why I started the blaze only in America. Now, the world is valuing conformity and control more and more every day. And there are those that argue, many of them in the last administration and the administration before Trump, that the American spirit is the spirit of the past. It's a relic of the past.

that the rough, rugged individual is old-timey, that we need to be a global community. Well, we need to be a global community as much as we need to be good neighbors to each other. That's what I think a global community is. Let's be good to each other. Hey,

You know, the government wants us all to live in an HOA that's run by, you know, the United Nations or whomever, some faceless dictator that doesn't really live in our community at all. No, no, no, no. If we have an HOA, we should be the ones that decide it. We should be the ones that vote for it. And it should be for only our local neighborhood because there are going to be a lot of people that don't want to live in an HOA.

I'm one of them. It's the individual. Some people want to conform. Others don't. We've always been a country that could handle both. But it's this view, the view that says this is all outdated because we live in a complex and interconnected world. Yeah, we can figure that out. We got it. We got it. I mean, we really didn't have a problem with the internet until it all became about politics, right?

Don't underestimate the adaptability and ingenuity of the American people because it is precisely those American values that has been, that the individual uses that has helped us thrive in the face of constant change. The principles of liberty and self-reliance are not limitations. They are the foundation of America's success. And that does not come from the government.

That comes from the people everywhere else. So I don't want to live in a dictatorship. I'm not for any of that crap. I don't support fascism, authoritarianism, totalitarianism, any ism really. I don't want to have a Christian prince or a church ruled government. I'd fight by your side against that. Well, Glenn, you don't believe in Christian principles? Of course I do.

But Jesus didn't force anybody into that. Nobody. Nobody. And certainly he never said, my government is of earth. My kingdom is someplace else. My kingdom is above. I ask you to follow me and do as I do. I believe the freedom of the plan of salvation would be all about choice. The choice. And this is why America is so important today.

why Christianity and religion can thrive here unlike any other place. Because we have choice. We have the choice to worship the way we want to worship, define our God the way we define our God as individuals. We can live in communities where we're wildly different as long as we understand that human life is sacred and choice is

is a gift given by God to the individual. There's nothing more important than your freedom to choose, especially your freedom to choose who you serve and how you serve. And some people are going to make mistakes. Some people are going to serve their car. Some people are going to worship their AI. They're going to worship the awards and the fame that they have.

Those are mistakes. Why? Because my Christian faith tells me that. I can't stop people, nor should I stop people from making mistakes. I should say, that's going to leave a mark. I don't recommend that. That's not good. But I don't want a government that says, you will not dress that way. No, no. Making America great again means to dare to dream, dare to build,

Believe in the power of your neighbors and your friends and your community. Believe that people are naturally enemies of God, okay? They're naturally. Everything that feels good isn't really good. You know what I mean? Eating just nonstop 20% fat ice cream, not going to be good for my health. Promiscuous sex, not good for my health.

you know, greed and fortune and fame out of control, not necessarily good for your spiritual health. Knowing that tells us you need something as an individual, not imposed by others, something as an individual that will help you self-regulate all of those things. To get that under control, our government is there when people cannot get that under control.

But first the local, then the state, and then the very last resort is the federal government. Look, there are some people, because this is the most important thing that I voted for. I voted for the right to choose and the right to choose my own God. And that's why I say I will fight. If you're an atheist, I'll fight right next to you. No, no, no, no, no, no. We're not outlawing atheism. What are you even talking about? No, no, no.

Some people have a really dim view of faith, and I can understand that. Maybe they had a bad situation, or maybe they just look at history. But, you know, you have to understand, men progressively do not get better from generation to generation. It's a choice each of us have to make.

And we begin that journey at birth and we ended at death. And some place or another, maybe some unfortunately never hit that. But when we come to a place where we've made so many mistakes and we're like, okay, I got to reset. That's why I'm a follower of Jesus, the man and the Christ. But I'm not the best example of it. I'm a bad example many, many times. But every day I can get up and say, I want to be better than I was yesterday.

And you change your own life. And you change the world because you've changed your family and your neighborhood, your town. Every person has value. Hear me. Anybody who says we're going to scoop people up and we want to shut people down, no, I value your voice. Why won't you value our voice?

Every life is important and has value. The old, the infirm, the Jew, the Gentile, the gay, the straight, even the unborn. This is a vision that holds true to greatness, comes from power and privilege. No, it comes from character and courage and conviction. That's the spirit of America. That's what I voted for.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I have to make a pretty profound correction. And I don't know if it's a correction. I have said that in the past, I could think of a million ways this could go wrong. And only one way that we survive this. And that was God. Shame on me for not having more faith in God. Because at least so far...

This is a miracle that we came through this. This is a miracle so far. All right, let me go to Cindy in Ohio. Hi, Cindy. What did you vote for? Cindy, are you there? Okay, let's go to Juanita in Florida. Hello, Juanita. What did you vote for?

I voted for his hair. His hair is awesome. Right. I had to break the ice. I've been listening to you. So, yeah, I voted. And I think what you know, what you were saying is we voted for what they thought they were voting for.

We voted for freedom. We voted for democracy. We voted for the de-weaponization of the DOJ. We voted for women's rights because we voted that if a woman is in a sport all of these years and worked so hard for it, that they should become the best at that and not have to go against a man. We voted that women would be on the cover of Time Magazine's Women of the Year.

And that's what we voted for. And that's what they thought they were voting for. Because unlike you, and I have to thank you, you are like a salmon that is swimming upstream against legacy media and all of these outlets because everyone is going against us. And, you know, we need to, yes, you know, we all won. America won. They actually won without even realizing that yet.

But they have been spoon-fed these lies. You are exactly right, Juanita. We voted for what they said they were voting for. Not universally true. I mean, some of them were voting for abortion. We weren't doing that. But the idea of freedom. All right. If you own a dog and you haven't watched him or her experience the joy of rough greens yet, what are you waiting for? I guess it tastes really good.

I haven't tried it, but my dog loves it. Now, Stu's dogs love it. Every dog I've ever heard that has tried Rough Greens, everybody says the same thing. My dog eats. I mean, picky eaters especially. My dog eats. And that's a relief for the short term, but the long haul, promoting your dog's longevity, helping him or her live a fuller and healthier life. Stu was talking about his pugs living long lives, but also...

You know, there's two op-eds today that I really struggled with on whether I should share them with you or not and take the time to share them. They're in my show prep today. You can get them at glenbeck.com, but they're from the New York Times, and they so grossly...

misalign and miss assign things, uh, to the people who voted for Donald, Donald Trump. They really do not understand or don't care to understand what's really going on and what this election was about. It was not about a vote for fascism, a vote for, you know, taking Liz Cheney and putting her in front of a firing squad. He never said any of that. Um, however, uh,

Nobody's listening. Nobody's listening. Well, let's try something different. I wanted to take this show, and quite honestly, I want to try to keep doing this as much as possible because I'm excited about the future. For the first time, I mean, you know me. I've been like, that's all things. I actually think there's a chance because of the coalition now that is coming together from all sides with Donald Trump, there's a chance that we can win.

find the best in ourselves again and a golden era of America can be right in front of us. I haven't thought that in a long, long time. So I'm excited. But I want you to articulate now, the first half of this program, I have been articulating what I voted for, what I believe America and the golden era should be like. So maybe they could understand us a little better. Now it's your turn.

What did you vote for? Not against, for. What is it you want and expect and hope for? Joe in Texas.

Hello, Joe.

And I just want, I want to see, I want to see more Elon Musk. And I want to see the days where our founding fathers like Alexander Hamilton and, and Thomas Jefferson can go at each other's throats, but then come back together and, and create things out of thin air that never, ever in the history of our world ever existed and, and be able to find that common ground. Yeah.

That's what I'm with you. And, you know, it's interesting, Joe, you bring up Hamilton and Jefferson. Jefferson was for the smallest government possible. Hamilton was actually fighting for a new king. And that's kind of where we are now, where half of us are saying, no, no, no, small government. The other half say, no, we want a king to rule.

And I don't think that the average Democrat wants a king to rule. They've been just convinced that that's what we want. And so, you know, they're voting for the opposite. But we can come back together, even with those profound differences. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Let me go to Jan in Pennsylvania. What did you vote for, Jan?

I voted for the excitement of Trump and J.D. Vance. I voted for the potential to reopen the Keystone Pipeline, to close the border, to put safety back in girls' sports, to put RFK Jr. in the Food and Drug Administration to clean up all the chemicals we're throwing in our children, to make them morbidly obese before they're even weaned from the bottle. I voted for the...

potential of this country because I am 75 years old and I have not been able to wipe the smile off my face for two days because I'm so thrilled to see honesty and truth come back to government instead of lying to the people and feeding them BS on a regular basis and then creeping and crawling and sucking on kids' toes and sniffing their hair and doing all

all the other things that this administration has done to feed ignorance, stupidity. And I'm also voted to make sure that we took favoritism out of political jobs and put people in that need to be there to do the job, not to sit on their rear end and collect a paycheck because they kissed somebody's right end. Jan, I appreciate that.

I want to be you when I'm 75. I want to be you. Just say it like it is. Thank you, Jen. Notice that there's a... The girls' sports thing is really big to this audience, which I really believe that the average Democrat...

believes the same things. They just think we, by saying that, want to round up all transgender people. No. We want our kids to be able to be kids. We want our daughters to be able to compete in

In a category where, I mean, you didn't put Muhammad Ali in, you know, with Sugar Ray Leonard. Please check that, Stu. I think that's the right analogy. You know, they have different class weights. You don't put everybody in to compete against each other. That's what we're looking for. Let me go to Tim in Wisconsin. Hello, Tim. Hello, Glenn. Hi, go ahead.

Yeah, I just wanted to say what I voted for, I didn't vote for racism. I voted against racism. All of the things that the leftists try to say that we're for is what they're actually for. So often it seems that they are foreshadowing their own agenda. I know. It does seem that way. So let's be, instead of saying it that way, give me some examples of

of what you voted for that you think that they do. Well, I voted for... So in other words... Go ahead.

I voted for fairness and they, they claim that they're all about fairness. I know Tim, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I don't mean to, you know, hound you on this, but I think that if we want to expand, we have to be specific on things like, for instance, I want fairness. I want my daughter to compete against other girls, right?

You know what I mean? So when you say fairness, you're for fairness, what does that mean? I'm for the meritocracy as opposed to DEI. I'm opposed, I mean, I'm for the fairness of someone getting a job based on their ability, not on, I mean, judge them by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin. You voted for Martin Luther King.

Somewhat. Yeah. I mean, it's weird that we live in a country now that is arguing against Martin Luther King, but I think that's what's happening. Lisa in Oklahoma. Hi, good morning. Hi, guys. How are you? Oklahoma. Fine. How are you doing? I'm great.

Hey, so first I just want to say thank you guys. Y'all are like my morning cup of coffee every day and I really appreciate all the hard work of y'all and kind of enlightening the

So what I voted for in this race was, you know, first, freedom of religion, freedom of choice, freedom of right, peace, unity, the overreach of the government on, you know, racism.

diminishing our speeches and then the rhetoric of the mainstream media. So, you know, I think Scott Jennings on CNN said it so poetically. You know, the American people set a mandate out there. We're tired of being crushed and insulted. And we...

I agree. I think the Democrats have to, I think they inherently have to believe that men shouldn't be in women's sports. You know, we have women who have worked for years to achieve, you know, where they have, where they've gotten to. And then just to have those medals stripped from them because a man has entered into the races. I think under Trump and, and,

And the guys that he has surrounded himself with, these incredible men, you know, Bobby and Elon and Charlie Kirk and Tucker Carlson and you guys, you know, a lot of the American people had their eyes closed and turned or chose to be blind for so many years. But COVID, I think, was really the catalyst for so many of us. It was for me.

I was one of those people that just didn't pay attention. Things were okay. Things were good. I was making ends meet. But then when your world falls down around and these mandates start coming out and your freedom of choices start getting trampled on, it really makes somebody think. And I think God opened eyes to so many people. Unfortunately, some of those eyes haven't been opened yet, but you know, um,

Some of our eyes are not even fully open yet, and I appreciate that concern, Lisa. Thank you so much. I think you're absolutely right. You know, when we say freedom, and the government is oppressive and freedom, and we want to rule our own lives, let me give you a clear example of this for the left.

I believe in the federal government being a safety net, okay? Not the tent, the polls, the performers, the sellers of the seats and makers of the popcorn. The safety net. If something goes catastrophically wrong, there is that net you can fall into. Government is taking the poll, the tent, the tickets and everything else as part of their purview. It is not. I support the safety net.

Now, war, disaster, overwhelming need, anything that the state or local government cannot handle, there are things the government needs to do. Rescuing people from their housetops during a hurricane with rescue helicopters, I would put into that category. Now, we did it.

But we only did it because they didn't do it. And they've always done that. But they didn't do it this time. And I'm fine with that. I'm for the 10th Amendment. I'm so constitutional. I am for the 10th Amendment. 100%. We should remember that. The government should help us with illegal immigration. If they don't, just like we did with helicopters, the state should be able to protect themselves.

But that is their purview. They should be making the policy on immigration and then enforcing that. Instead, what they chose to do is to ship people into our towns in the middle of the night.

They didn't ask us if we wanted, you know, all these illegals in our towns. They didn't even tell us. They just did it in the cover of night. No, no warning to our hospitals, no warning to our schools. Police are overrun. You can't get services. A crime seems to be out of control. In some cities, we have Venezuelan gangs. That's not a government that is protecting its people.

That's a government that abuses its citizens. And it takes the right that no one actually has. God did not give any man the right to move a whole group of people into a town without talking to people. That's not a right. We have to inform one another. We have to talk about things that affect all of us. They didn't. They didn't. And it wasn't a surprise. It was coordinated.

We are going to move a lot of people out of these cities. But at least this time around, you will know about that movement. You will know in advance about that movement. And we voted on doing that. Back in just a second.

Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Preborn. We beat out the most pro-abortion presidential candidate we have ever seen, along with her even more pro-abortion running mate. Sit back for a second and realize the miracles that have happened just in the last couple of days. This is a miracle. All of this is a miracle.

Now, to really, because of some of the amendments, especially the one in Missouri, which I think is really bloodthirsty, we have to change the hearts and minds of the people in our country. And that's not going to be done by arguing with them. It's going to be done by just being the example. You know, if you're...

and you're not living it, it doesn't make a difference. So we need to live it. And that's what I love about pre-born. They save not only the babies, but the moms as well and help after the baby is born. Most moms don't want to do abortion, but they feel like they're absolutely alone. Even if they're not,

Even just the fact that they can see their baby on an ultrasound, that doubles the chance that mom chooses life. How is that possible? Well, because they've been convinced that that's just a glob. It's just a blob. It might be a Buick. It might be a shoe. You don't know what it's going to be, but it's definitely not a baby. When they see that on the ultrasound, they open their eyes, but then they're afraid, I don't have any support. Preborn is there for that.

If you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way? Your tax-deductible end-of-year donation of $5,000 would sponsor Preborn's entire network for 24 hours, helping to rescue 200 babies. Donate securely. Dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby. That's pound 250. Keyword baby. Or go to preborn.com slash Beck. Do it now. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Hey, if you have been reading my new book, Propaganda Wars, you will understand what I'm saying, but I'll explain it tomorrow. We are all John Adams today. This week, anybody who voted that way with Donald Trump and...

You're John Adams. And I'll explain that tomorrow. I think it's a really cool kind of thought. Let's talk to you on the phone about what you really voted for. I want to take some more phone calls on this. But I see a lot of people on the board saying, you know, I voted for freedom. I voted for liberty. Let's define that. In what way? What specifically were you seeing that you said, no, I want to go the opposite direction. I want this. Let's define that.

Let's go to Jeremiah in Pennsylvania. Hello, Jeremiah. Hey, Glenn. How are you today? Very good. So I voted... The media was correct about one thing that I was voting for. I was voting for the destruction of their democracy, and I voted for the resurrection of our representative republic. Basically...

Basically, their democracy is the federal government having total control, their party having total control over everything that the individual states want to do. And I just I voted for the America that existed when I grew up in the 80s and 90s. Or at least the idea that we all thought we were living in of the republic. Thank you so much. Great comments, Jeremiah. Back in a minute.

Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. My phone is open. Yours is the voice we want to hear from today. But this show, I changed it the last minute because I read an op-ed from the New York Times. In fact, two op-eds that are from the New York Times. And they're both, you know, I find them offensive. I find them trapped in self-imposed ignorance, in dishonesty. But I...

Instead of harping on that, I want to harp on the people that may have been reading the New York Times and watching MSNBC or CNN. I mean, there are two kinds of people. Those who are intentionally in self-imposed ignorance, like I think the people on The View,

that really don't have any honest curiosity and those who have just kind of not really been paying attention and don't know what's going on that may really be afraid today that Donald Trump is a fascist dictator and he's going to scoop people up, etc., etc. They tried to explain in this op-ed that

who we are and what we voted for. They're completely wrong, and I want to go into that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. One of the things that I love best about Patriot Mobile is that they let you know right up front who they are. Let me give you an example of what I mean. If you're with Verizon, you might be unaware that they donate to Planned Parenthood. Well, I don't want any of my hard-earned money going to Planned Parenthood. Do you? Do you have Verizon?

Please do yourself a favor and consider switching today. Patriot Mobile is the nation's only Christian mobile company, and it is on the same cell towers as everyone else. You know, but you get so you get the same coverage, you get the same, you know, the same coverage.

if you will, their customer service, I think at Patriot Mobile is a lot better. But you get affordable, customizable plans. You're going to save money by switching over to Patriot Mobile and they don't donate to Planned Parenthood. They actually donate to causes that

I'm

972-PATRIOT is their phone number. Or you can go to patriotmobile.com slash BEC. Let one of the friendly people there help you find the best deal for you and your family. 972-PATRIOT or patriotmobile.com slash BEC. I don't know about you, but I am ready for Christmas.

I have a Christmas album that I produced in the Czech Republic for the Symphony Orchestra, and the Symphony Orchestra is unbelievable in this. And it's all classics and sung by my daughter, Cheyenne Grace. I...

You know, I have to tell you, I told the vocal producer when we flew back from Prague, we had to go to Los Angeles and record her part. And I said, I need you to be really honest with us because the orchestra is amazing. And if she can't, if the orchestra is better than she is, we should not do this album. I don't care how much money it's cost already. We're not doing the album. And he said, absolutely.

After the first song, he was like, "You're not gonna have a problem with this." He was blown away by her. And so is everybody who's heard the album. I can't wait to share it. It's coming up in a few weeks.

All right. I want to talk to you again about what we're for. And today, the first hour and a half of the program, I just I spoke about the Constitution and what it means, why it was designed that way, why Elon Musk is a good guy that we all should be rooting for, because it's quintessentially American.

And I want to talk to you on the phones about what you voted for. But I want to watch our language carefully because we have an opportunity now to bring a golden era back to America. Remember, this is not me. This is not. I mean, I'm the guy who said, with an exception of a miracle from God, there's no way we survive this election. You remember that?

I was thinking, well, I wasn't wrong, I guess. I concentrated too much on the bad effects and not enough on, yeah, but God is not done with us yet.

And I sensed that the day of the election. I sensed that, you know, when Donald Trump was shot. Miracle after miracle. And this election was a miracle. So first, give God praise for what situation we're in right now, because that was the only way out.

a miracle. And here we are. We don't have riots in the streets or anything else yet. I hope that it doesn't happen. And we have a chance to bring people together. Now, the media is not going to go down that road. Kamala Harris, much to her credit, tried some yesterday. I mean, she at least did the right thing and said peaceful transfer of power and everything else. But they're not going to give up on the fight. OK, so we're still in a fight.

But let's change the strategy from what they did last time. They just mocked, ridiculed, and didn't listen. All right, let's ask them to listen now and listen to them as individuals, not a group. I get the group. I get the group. I see what the leftist ideology is all about, and I don't like it, and I don't support it, and I don't trust it. But I do trust my neighbors, and I think there are people that...

are afraid that they're going to be scooped up in some totalitarian Trump thing. It's not true. But I want to focus on what you voted for,

And let's be for things. It's time to be against them because now it's our turn. So let's be for things. You know, when you're for things, it's so much more powerful than being against because the energy is focused on building rather than tearing down. And I think that's one of the things I voted for was an end of the tearing down of everything. All right? Tear down the bad things. Let's go in and fix the things that are not right.

Let's get rid of the corruption and the cronyism and everything else. But there's a lot of good that should be saved, and there's a lot of good that's new that we can do. And the positive, a drive that is positive unites and motivates people. It gives us a sense of hope and purpose where –

You know, the other way is just reactionary. And we have the opportunity to not react now, but to actually lead and envision the benefits of a positive, collaborative society again. So let's go to Linda in Ohio. Linda, what did you vote for?

Praise God, I voted for my, for our government not to spend any more money for my grandchildren, for my great grandchildren. We just cannot continue spending the way we are as a government. And I'm terrified that we're going to go into another deep depression. And some of my grandchildren don't know enough about history to be able to work out of it.

Good things to be for. Thank you very much, Janine. North Carolina, what did you vote for? I voted for the republic. I voted republic versus democracy. We can all say on both sides that we were voting for the same thing. But from a democracy perspective, you're voting as a collective.

From a republic, you're voting as an individual, and you can be definitely a part of community. I know this firsthand. I live in Western North Carolina. I saw the destruction of what Helene did.

I am disabled physically, but I'm not disabled with my mind. I'm not disabled with my mouth, and I'm not disabled with my hand. I decided that I was going to help in any way I could to get all the supporters' information out to all those areas so that they could coordinate. I'm not taking credit. This is all God's doing, but I voted.

positively because I don't want government to take over and do what they will. I want individuals, I want community to help each other. And that's what we did here. That's what we did. And we were so glad, Glenn, when you came. We were so glad that you also was with Corey Mills going around and checking on us and taking care of us. Thank you. Well,

It was an honor to do it, Janine. It really was. It's an honor to be alive today. It really is. And especially to see the chance of the power of the individual coming back. I want the left to hear this. No, I don't. I want the Democrats that have believed the lies or still are questioning, gosh, is he going to be a dictator? Is that really who you guys are? I want you to know,

We truly, I'll speak for myself, I truly believe in the power of the individual. I know how powerful the individual can be when they set their mind to something, for good or for ill, and change.

um that's why we're here that's why we're alive is for you to express yourself and find the meaning for your life because every life has meaning every life is worthy um there is something that we're all here to accomplish i don't know what your thing is i barely figured out my thing yet um but

You can only do that if you live with true freedom. So somebody is not making all the decisions for you. They're not telling you what you have to inject into your body. You are smart enough to figure it out. And some people are not smart enough, but they'll pay the consequence one way or another. You have to have the freedom to chart your own course, right?

Among some rules that are laid out in our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. But that's really up to the individual. Sean, welcome, Alabama. Hey, good sir. Bless you and everybody around you. I voted to be free of you.

And all the voices that tell the truth, like the Limbaugh's and the Dave Ramsey's telling people to don't be stupid because that's what they want. They want us stupid and it's not racism. They want us to hate each other equally because if they keep us in a dim wooded bulb, that's what we're going to be. Because I remember the Reagan years and my wife and I were not concerned at all about the future for our kids.

And those 12 years of Reagan Bush are what I'm hoping for with Trump vance. And dare I say, women say men hear but don't listen. But Reagan listened.

Trump listens, Vance listens, and cross my fingers for my grandkids, maybe it'll be a Vance DeSantis ticket, and we'll have 20 years of that same optimism, that same opportunity, where neighbors talk to each other, disagree, and they're still friends. So, Glenn, I hope to be free of you, and you guys can have Throwback Friday, Pat and Stu, and do more on trivia, and make me laugh, because there's a lot of fun. Oh, you, I have to tell you.

You are speaking my language, brother. You are speaking my language. I did not get into talk radio to do what I've been doing the last 20 years. I got into it to have fun and to change it and to be more of the entertainer that I see myself as.

and not the educator or the one that's trying to tell you, look out! You're speaking my language. I'd like to get back to it. And I think maybe we do. Stu, let's get back to Moron Trivia.

Let's do more on trivia. What do you think? I mean, it's a great idea. It would take a lot of finagling. We'll talk about it, though, off the air. Let's go to Kelly, and then we'll take a quick break. Hello, Kelly.

Another vote for more on trivia, please. I am a educated white woman who lives in the suburbs and I voted for Trump. And I did it because of the First Amendment. All five tenants. This was not some boogeyman, nonexistent threat. They had been chipping away at that.

All four years, and I feared that another four years would totally wipe us out completely. The freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the freedom to assemble, the freedom of the press, the freedom to petition. All of those, we were tamped down, couldn't do it. Go ahead. Kelly, can I put you on hold for a minute? I just want you to speak to the person who,

as if you're in the same room with them and they're reasonable, that says, no, you guys are the ones trying to do that. How do you mean you want freedom of the press and freedom? Where has that been abused and abused?

And how can we unite? Try to find the uniting principle there because they will tell you that's what they were fighting for. So what's the difference? Back in just a second. Sorry to give you such an assignment here, Kelly. Quick, you've got 60 seconds to come up with it.

And it's only me and 10 million of our friends. All right. I will speak. I will speak slowly and deliberately about America's number one daily fantasy sports app prize picks. You know, you want to have a distraction. You've got football tonight, a big game. Do you think, I don't know, Derrick Henry is going to score a touchdown. It feels almost impossible that he will not the way he's playing this year.

That's the type of thing that you have to look at when you're going to prize picks. You pick more or less on a bunch of different player stats. And if you are correct, you can win like 100 times your money. It is a lot of fun, a great way to enjoy football, basketball, hockey, whatever you're into. It's the prize picks app.

and you can get this in tons of places across the country. Use the code "Stoo", you'll get 50 bucks instantly when you play only five bucks. The code is "Stoo" on PrizePix, get 50 bucks instantly when you play only five bucks. You don't even have to win to receive the $50 bonus. Take their money, just take it, it's guaranteed. PrizePix, run your game. 10 seconds more, just 10 seconds more to figure out what you're gonna say, and we'll give you some station ID.

All right, Kelly. Yeah. Can you do that? Are you ready? Specifically on the press? Is that what you're looking for? Yeah, or whatever. You said the five tenants. So tell me if I'm somebody and I say...

Kelly, you guys are the ones trying to silence us. You guys are the ones that are violating the First Amendment. I'm for it, too. And then there's this crazy speech that you guys are for. You wanted to kill people and round them up. How would you respond to that? To somebody who was asking that as an honest question.

Well, somebody said that they were, we wanted to kill and round up people. I'd like them to tell me where they got that information and where they got that. Give me, you know, the follow-up question that everybody complained that Kamala and none of the left actually...

respond to. And none of the left in the media even actually present. But in any case, so specifically for the media, we saw this repression of voices, especially around COVID, around the transgender issue. You were cut off. You were not allowed to speak about it. The voices, I am a recovering journalist and

And I remember when I worked in newspaper, we had to have so many sources on each side and the both sides. Well, when there was an actual physical paper, both sides had to be presented before the jump. Right. Before you like it was on one page and it went to another page. You had to have both sides at the front because most people would only look at the front page. And now we see those.

They'll say, well, we do have that voice, but it's at the very end of a very long article of an online post. But we saw people who were kicked off of media. We see the demonization of even just alternative media. Even the free press, Barry Weiss's, gets a lot of flack from the left and traditional people. They just blow them off. And I felt like...

Elon Musk with X, which is going to be the new media, I truly believe. Your voice. People just threatening boycotts by taking away money from different advertisers. They were doing that. They've been doing that for the last four years. And I just thought it was going to ramp up even more. So it's not some...

shadowy, you know, scary in the dark threat that we built in our heads. They've been doing it. The right to speak again, if you are a pro-lifer, praying out in front of them, like you've covered all of this, is that praying in front of a,

abortion clinic. People went to jail and the fear of, I do have the fear. I don't know if this is truly a fear, you know, a true fear, but the right to assemble, like you would talk about using the, um, the clan act, would we be able to go to the national march? Yeah.

in D.C. the day after Inauguration Day, because that's always when the Right to Life marches. It's on the 21st, I believe. And being rounded up, they've already started putting those pieces into place. I want to commend you. I hope...

that you talk to more people because you've done so many things right here, including the last thing you said. I don't know my fear, and I don't know if it's a true concern or just a fear. Fantastic. Give people the understanding that you don't know what's going to happen. You're concerned about that. But also, the first thing you led with was, can you show me who said that and where?

And you can't continue a conversation until you can agree on basic facts. So what Kelly did there so expertly was, first, where did you hear that? Now, let's go online. Let's find that so we can discuss that and agree or disagree on that first before we go any further. Excellent. Really well done, Kelly. All right.

All right. And just a second. Let me tell you right now about Patriot Supply. And then we go back to the phones. Once upon a time, our institutions were things that we trusted. That's not the case anymore. Hopefully it'll get better. But they lie to us every day. And at some point, things began to go wrong and they've been going wrong ever since then.

There has never been a better time in our nation's history to be self-reliant. Never a better time. Well, maybe during the Great Depression, but our grandparents were self-reliant. At least mine were. You know, maybe it was different if you lived in the city, but my grandparents lived out on the farm and they canned.

And, you know, when my grandmother would can every summer and my mom would do it, my grandmother had the excuse, we have a farm. Of course, we're going to do this. We're going to can. Well, we didn't have a farm growing up, but my mom still can. And I was like, mom, you can buy them in cans now. What is it? What are you doing? I didn't understand the finances of all of it at the time, but that's being prepared for anything.

And you can still save $47 at BlazeElection.com slash Glenn. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We have an opportunity, and I think we should start today. I am. And that is...

Uh, we're now in the leadership position. Um, we were dismissed. We had very little, uh, power. Even our own party was against us. Uh, I hope Donald Trump is asking for Rick Scott and not buying into any of this bull crap from, uh, Thune or, uh,

What's his name from Texas? I block his name out, Cornyn, for the leadership of the Senate. We just don't need anybody who is playing the old game with us. We need to move. We need to move quickly, and we need to move as one. But I want to, because we are in the leadership position—

I really would like to try to stop complaining about things and start talking about a positive vision, what we want, what we are doing. And today, I thought it was worthwhile, and even in the coming days, worthwhile for those people who...

really don't know what's going on, really have listened to the mainstream media and think that their neighbors are Hitler lovers and are going to round people up. To be very, very clear in our language, what we are for, we're not for any of that. We're not. Because we believe in the Constitution. So what did you vote for, Tom, in Virginia? Hello. Hey, Tom, go ahead. Hello.

Okay. I voted for someone who will focus on reclaiming a Christian moral compass. And I believe Donald Trump is the person to do that. Wow, there's landmines all over that. Let me ask you, what do you mean that you wanted somebody, if I'm playing the devil's advocate here,

So you're looking for somebody to rule Christianity?

or church, or what does that mean? I don't think that's what I'm talking about. I think I'm talking about something that I think George Washington and John Adams both said, that this government would only work for a moral people, and that's a moral code. And I believe that I don't think they were trying to ram Christianity down

people's throat, but I think they were saying that we have to have something in common, and that's a moral code, and I think our laws are written based on that. And so I am a Christian and active in church.

But I think we've lost that, and we need to get back to teaching it in school and living up to that morality in our daily lives. Tom, thank you very much. I think you make a very good point. The way to sell this, because it's true, is...

That our laws, you know, what faces the judges in the Supreme Court? What is on the wall, in the center of the wall? It's either above the Supreme Court or they're looking at it. But it is Moses, the great lawgiver. Because we are based on those laws. When you look at the Speaker of the House, what...

relief is just above? You never see it unless you're in the room because they always cut it off because it's way up above. But what is the relief that is on the wall above the Speaker of the House? Moses. We are a country, like it or not, whose laws were based on the Judeo-Christian principles. We were founded in

By Christians, we were a Christian nation. That doesn't mean exclusively. Our founders, they spent a lot of their time after the founding of the country going into courtrooms all across the colonies, or now the states, arguing for other religions that states were trying to say, well, you can't do that, you can't do that. No, no, no. Religious freedom.

And so it's not one religion, but it is a code of ethics that we believe in. You can be morally a Christian nation, a Judeo-Christian nation, and not be Christian. You just believe, I should love my neighbor. I shouldn't lie. I shouldn't cheat. I shouldn't steal. I shouldn't murder. When you do those basics...

If you control yourself, then the government doesn't have to be that way. This is what they mean by this system is wholly inadequate for an irreligious or immoral people because they won't self-regulate. You have to find that out yourself. What are my limits? And our limits have always been Judeo-Christian values. Michelle in Indiana, welcome.

What did you vote for? Hi. Hi. Oh, I voted for Trump and I voted for energy independence just because it's dangerous for us to be dependent on other countries and our enemies for sources of energy and

And we have it here. And I'm a grandma in a recliner with two geriatric dogs, and we are not prepared to live in the 1700s. Yeah.

We got our Patriot food supply. Right. Right. Break up the furniture and burn it. Right. Right. We can't we can't do that. And further, I think we just can't solve. We can't begin to solve.

The problems that we do have with energy to make it cleaner or whatever we need to do to try and even find magnetic energy.

If we're doing it by candlelight. Right. Michelle, thank you so much for your phone call. I really appreciate your point of view on this. And I think energy is, I mean, there's great ways to make the defense for fossil fuels more

drilling and fracking. And that is, if we're doing it here ourself, we are not putting it on a giant oil tanker, which A, could spill. B, takes all of that fuel to ship over here. We have it here. We can push it through a pipeline across the country, which is safe, underground, not a problem. And we have to have that as we transition. We are on the cusp of

of quantum computing and AI, which will solve these kinds of problems. It will solve them for us pretty quickly. But we can't shoot ourself in the foot because she's right. You don't have a society without fossil fuels, at least at this point. Let's get there. Let's go to Debbie in California. Debbie, what did you vote for?

I voted for Donald, and I voted for him to fix our judicial system, to fix all the corruption in the court systems for what they've done to him. Because I just seen on Newsmax this morning that he said within the first two seconds of his presidency, he's going to fire Jack Smith. So is he able to fire Letitia James, Fannie, and Judge Mason? No, he's not.

No, Debbie, that is state and he should not do any vengeance or anything else. He should just make clear that, you know, we don't fool around with our enemies one way or the other in our government. And if you were part of a hit squad of any kind, you need to be relieved of your duty to

in Washington, D.C. And he has a very good track record of this. He said, let's lock her up. He was show when it was 2016, and when he became president, he's like, we don't do that. We're a republic. We don't do that. That's a banana republic that does that kind of stuff. I don't expect him to involve himself in any kind of vengeance, nor should he. However...

Keep your eye on the left because Hochul and Letitia James came out yesterday and they're starting a new kind of thing against Donald Trump. That has to stop. And that's just the attorney generals in the states and the voters of the states standing up and saying enough, enough of this.

Mary Bell in Florida. What did you vote for? Greetings. I voted for the Republican ticket. I didn't vote for a personality. I don't care about his nicknames or the rhetoric that he uses.

He sometimes goes overboard. I voted for a CEO who knows how to run the show, knows how to assign tasks and have people accountable. That's what I voted for primarily. Secondly, issues.

I'm originally from Colombia. I came to the United States 27 years ago, and I had to restart my entire life. And I did it, and I'm still writing my future. And I want to continue doing it, and I want others who came here legally, followed the rule of law,

and they can succeed. I don't want this madness of poor you, you just tear some eyes and everybody just gives away everything. I don't like that. I don't run my life like that. So I voted for issues. That's great. Maribel, I thank you for your call. It's an understatement to say that the Democrats misjudged the Latino vote.

They really, truly thought, and I always thought this was racist because you're just lumping everybody together as a race. I've always felt that it was racist to say that all Latinos want open borders. They just want anybody here. That's ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous.

You know, some people came here for a very clear reason. Their government was out of control. The crime was out of control. It wasn't equally it wasn't equal justice anywhere.

When they start to see special favors being done, I think people from South America, from corrupt countries in South America, recognize that. And they're like, I don't want that here. That's what I ran away from. All right, more in just a second. Let me tell you about Jace Medical. The whole idea of being prepared for whatever comes next is so important. And that's why Jace Medical is here. And it doesn't have to be a catastrophe. When it comes to medicine, it doesn't have to be a catastrophe. It can be a vacation situation.

It could be you're off because of Christmas break or whatever. The family and I, I think we're going up to visit Tanya's mom in Connecticut this Thanksgiving. Well, if some of the kids get sick, we have to go to an emergency clinic or what do we have to do when we know we can call our doctor and say, here are the symptoms, and they'll say, okay, well, let's put her on antibiotics or put him on antibiotics.

I don't have to run to the store for them. I don't have to do anything. I have them because I have a personalized emergency medication kit from Jace Medical. It contains the essential antibiotics that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections. So go to jacemedical.com, jacemedical.com.

Glenn, hi. As a gay, white, Christian, conservative male who's both personally met and had the greatest honor of a lifetime of voting for Donald Trump in all three elections, I wanted to tell you why I voted for him. I voted for him for freedom from the oppressive left's monopoly on always getting to define the terms.

terms of who I am as a gay man, who I vote for, what I need to believe in. And that also goes for whether you're black, white, gay, Christian, conservative, or any other of these marginalized groups of people whose minds they've poisoned. So many times over these last four years, I've sincerely felt like a man without a country. And they...

I'll tell you too, because of their own, I hope you've never felt that from, from this program. No, Glenn, I listen to you every day. Please believe me. People know I'm a Glenn Beck fan before they know I'm gay. Okay. All right, go ahead. I could, so I can tell you. And, um, but,

But you know, I grew up also too, and one other time when you had people call in and speak about their dreams and things that they've accomplished here, only in America, I tried to get through because I really wanted to tell you a little bit of my story. My story is actually a lot like JD Vance in the way that only in this country, and because of this country and people like Donald Trump who are enterprisers, builders, and these great leading spirits, I grew up like a child without food.

You know what, hang on just a second, Dan. I'm going to put you on hold. I'm going to take you tomorrow. I don't want to cheat you with only 90 seconds left, so hang on. Phil, can you fill this gap of 90 seconds and tell us what you voted for? Phil, are you there? Hello, Bill? Hey, yeah, go ahead. All right. So what did you vote for? I voted to make this country more Lincoln-esque. What does that mean? I...

abraham lincoln when he does the douglas debates was very he didn't just go through the constitution he relied heavily on the declaration of independence everybody's equal uh life liberty pursuit of happiness and there charles payne did a great deal on fox news yesterday yesterday morning where he's talking about the democrats going into black communities and talking about we're going to raise the minimum wage for you we don't want that we want

We want every kid to grow up to be a millionaire. We want every kid to be able to be Elon Musk. We want every kid to have a good school and no crime and ride their bikes to school. And when you have a crime in a neighborhood, be surprised because you have such a quiet, wonderful neighborhood and you love your life and the government's out of your way. Everybody's out of your way. What's going to happen to your life is going to depend entirely and completely on you and your family and your whatever. That's what I voted for yesterday.

Well said, Phil. Thank you so much. The Glenn Beck Program.
