Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's pre-born. We talk about saving babies on this show all the time because it's important to me and I believe important to you as well. There are no ifs, ands or buts about it. We need to save babies from the evil that is abortion. That's why I'm so proud that we have partnered with pre-born. They are the nation's leader in introducing moms with unplanned pregnancies to their babies.

Once she hears the heartbeat, sees that precious baby inside of her, she's twice as likely to choose life. Over 64 million lives are gone from abortion in this country just since Roe versus Wade. And when that was enacted...

Now we've overturned that and more hang in the balance. We have to change people's hearts and minds. When a woman is considering abortions, she seeks to end her baby's life. Preborn is there. And the power of the ultrasound combined with God's love doubles the chances the baby has at life. One ultrasound is only $28. Five is $140. Would you like to help save babies?

Holy cow, the insanity has not stopped. Now there's conspiracy theories on how Trump stole the election that is picking up steam. The FBI is warning individuals, we know who you are. Well, then why don't you just go pick those people up? We know who you are and we see the messages that you're sending and you better stop it right now. Well, again,

What did they do and who did it? Why don't you just go stop them if you know who they are? It's nuts. And also, people breaking up friendships. This is something else that really needs to stop. So what's going to cure it? Well, a cure for the country. Donald Trump laid out his plan on stopping the deep state. I don't know how people could be against this, but they will be.

It was inspiring, at least to me, that in 60 seconds. Maybe you drank too much coffee in the morning.

Well, hello, Stu. How are you? Glenn, it's been a good week. Fascinating. That's really great to hear. And you tell such amazing stories. Thank you. Thank you for sharing that. I appreciate you asking. Well, it was sincere. I hope you know that. I know. Let me go to Trump announcing his 10-step plan to dismantle the deep state. Listen to this. If you haven't heard it, you're going to love this.

Here's my plan to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption once and for all, and corruption it is.

First, I will immediately reissue my 2020 executive order restoring the president's authority to remove rogue bureaucrats, and I will wield that power very aggressively. Second, we will clean out all of the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus, and there are plenty of them.

The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left's political enemies, which they're doing now at a level that nobody can believe even possible. Third, we will totally reform FISA courts, which are so corrupt that the judges seemingly do not care when they are lied to

in warrant applications. So many judges have seen so many applications that they know were wrong, or at least they must have known. They do nothing about it. They're lied to. Fourth, to expose the hoaxes and abuses of power that have been tearing our country apart.

We will establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to declassify and publish all documents on deep state spying, censorship, and corruption. And there are plenty of them. Fifth, we will launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the fake news to deliberately weave false narratives and to subvert our government and our democracy. When possible, we will press criminal charges.

Sixth, we will make every inspector general's office independent and physically separated from the departments they oversee so they do not become the protectors of the deep state.

Seventh, I will ask Congress to establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people, or that they are not spying on someone's campaign like they spied on my campaign.

Eighth, we will continue the effort launched by the Trump administration to move parts of the sprawling federal bureaucracy to new locations outside the Washington swamp. Just as I moved the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado, as many as 100,000 government positions could be moved out

and I mean immediately, of Washington to places filled with patriots who love America, and they really do love America. Ninth, I will work to ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the companies they deal with and that they regulate. So they deal with these companies and they regulate these companies and then they want to take jobs from these companies. It doesn't work that way. Such a

Public display cannot go on. And it's taking place all the time, like with Big Pharma. Finally, I will push a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress. This is how I will shatter the deep state and restore government that is controlled by the people and for the people. Thank you very much. I just is. Now, tell me, what is what is happening?

possibly objectionable about that. Everybody wants term limits and he's going for a constitutional amendment. Everybody wants it except for the people in Congress. He wants to ban the bureaucrats from

from going into the businesses that they regulate after they leave government. That's absolutely fantastic. That stops all of this graft and all of this corruption. Democrats have been asking for that forever. Moving government, breaking it up and moving it to different parts of the country, I think that's smart just for Homeland Security. I just hope they don't poison the places where they're moving them to.

independent monitoring of the intelligence agency, so they're not spying on Americans. How could you possibly, as a Democrat, how could you possibly be against that? They're not spying on us, and there's no disinformation campaigns, which we know happen. The Inspector General's office of each thing that they monitor, being independent from those institutions,

So if I'm monitoring and I'm the inspector general of the Pentagon, I'm not part of the Pentagon. So I can't be shut down. That is fantastic. How could you possibly be against that? This one is a little, we have to look at the wording government leakers. He will fire any government leakers and prosecute where possible. If they are trying to subvert the government or working in collusion to, to,

Give false narratives to the press. Okay, I think I'm for that one. But I want to make sure that leakers and whistleblowers are protected. The FISA courts. Stu, how could you possibly be against that if you're a Democrat? And the Justice Department. Clean up the Justice Department. What was the other one? Oh, going for the truth and reconciliation. That's a document dump.

Who's against document dumps? I'd like to know exactly what the truth is on all of these things. I want to know. I think this is uniting. Now, the press will make this into horrible dictatorial stuff, but it's not. If the Biden administration would have done this, I would have been for all of these. Now, what is the problem with them, Stu? Yeah, I mean, I think if you go through all those proposals...

probably the worst thing you can say about them is that several of them are sort of just not particularly interesting to the average person. Like I think a lot of people don't even know what a FISA court is, right? Like when you're talking about it from that perspective, they might be good policies, but they're not going to be exciting. And they range from that to the most popular proposals in our public discourse. I mean, you're talking about things like term limits and

which, you know, you're talking about 80% popularity around a proposal like that. And the only thing stopping it is Congress. They've been, you know, doing this forever because they're protecting their own gigs. Now, I will say I'm going to be very, very entertained when part of this proposal, he floats to taunt the media a third presidential term. That's going to be fun. And I can't wait till he does it because you know he's going to do it.

Well, if senators get 12 years, why wouldn't a president, your favorite president, why wouldn't he get 12 years? I want him to float the idea of packing the court.

I want him to do that just so badly because everybody would be like, you can't do it. That's ridiculous. He's going to control the court forever that way. That's unconstitutional. I'd love him just to float it for about a week and then go, huh, thank you for all of those sound bites. We will use them against you if you ever get in power and try to pack the court because you clearly know why this is wrong. Yeah, honestly, I would...

I love that approach. I think he comes out. He says, I'm going to start studying those proposals made by the left during the last couple of years. Some of them sound interesting. Let them all get excited and then come back, pull the rug out from under it and propose something that locks it at nine forever. Seriously. I mean, like, this is ridiculous. Let's just set it at nine forever.

And then be done with it. This shouldn't be something that is even talked about. It is a ridiculous manipulation of power. We've seen the left try to do it a hundred times. Let's get rid of that one forever. If you're going to have a go through a constitutional amendment process, check that one in there too. So some friends of mine sent me a text message between two friends that just came in. And I really...

This is mental illness. It really is mental illness. Listen to this exchange via text, okay? Did you all vote Republican just trying to figure out who to trust?

We voted both ways. We're libertarians. Okay, this is the response. We voted both ways. We're libertarians. Sorry if you feel our choices in this election is needed to end a friendship. I feel like we've trusted one another throughout the years. Unfortunately, no one is perfect in either way that you choose. I hope you can still feel comfortable reaching out to us if you ever need anything and still be friends. Now, this is a long-term friendship.

Men are hurting us. They're laughing gleefully at our pain. If you voted Republican, that's all because you're okay with that. Men are hurting us. Could you be more specific? Men are hurting us. Can you also show me where the men are that are laughing in your face? They're holding up signs saying women are property.

Could you help me out with that one? Could you show me a picture of those signs? That one, I did see a real estate listing that did list women as property. So that is happening. That one I can confirm. But it's mostly online. Okay. Are your daughters property? Well, they are now. Huh?

Now, this person responds in a way I wouldn't have. I would have saved this one for later because I had too many questions on what she just said. But she said, are you all going to sell the Tesla now? Isn't that supporting Musk and the Republican Party? Then the friend responded, I saw your Ted Cruz sign. He wants my child dead.

That was a weird part of his campaign. The whole, I want your child dead vote for me instead of all red chant. But it worked. He won. And then she responded to the Tesla thing. No, we bought it used and there's no way to escape capitalism right now. But you chose this. You chose to make women property. Well, I'm sorry that you feel like you have to unfriend us. There were good things on both sides. You hate us. Then if you hate us, then you really never knew us.

I hope you get everything you voted for. I hope it all affects you personally. Me too, actually. I hope it affects you too because it'll be good. You hate me and my child if you voted for people who openly called for our deaths. Who called for your deaths? Please give me... Before you break up a long-term friendship, can you please just give me the original source...

of people calling for your deaths. Now, I'm sure there are people online that have said really crazy things because honestly, let's go up about four paragraphs in what you just sent. You say really crazy things too. So let's just deal with who said that, when it was said, what the context was because I've never heard that before.

So now we all know. I already knew, but I hope you were able to see what was really happening because you're not stupid. Please forget we exist. I beg you not to talk to anyone about my son who is disabled. We're first on the chopping block. Now, apparently the son is trans and disabled. Well, you know what? I think there are rules at Auschwitz. Yeah, he would be first. Oh, we don't live in Nazi Germany, do we?

Please forget we exist and don't turn us in. Wow, you are 100%. I guess we voted wrong. Sarcasm in the face of my pain? What pain? What pain? Your pain is being caused because you believe lies. If you actually think that Donald Trump wants your trans handicapped child dead...

You have no idea. You are so far out of reality. I hope you have a lovely day. God bless you and your family. Typical. I'm not kidding. Please don't hurt us. We don't exist. You don't know us.

You're so compassionate with your name calling. And if you believe that, stop texting us. What name did I call you? I will stop, but I didn't call you any names. I did not. I truly hope that you'd see the light because of the cruise sign didn't come back. I thought you would care that women are dying again. Give me a fact. Show me an original source. Where are women dying?

We are now literally property of men. You say literally, show me the source on that. My mistake. You said we were stupid for who we voted for. No, I said you were not stupid, which means you did it with purpose. Oh, so you, so I'm not stupid. I'm just evil voting knowingly for your child to be killed.

May your daughters bleed out in the hospital parking lot now. I hope you have the good sense to be lesbians or childish cat ladies. Again, as I said, you're 100% right. Maybe four more years we can be friends. LOL. Women are property now. What the hell is wrong with people?

I'll tell you in a minute. First, Thanksgiving is coming up. And boy, do we have a lot to be thankful for this year. We had an election that turned out not just in our favor. I think it was a miracle. Okay. I'm thankful for all of the tasty animals, honestly, that give up their lives. Oh, my gosh. Yes. Tom, I want your child dead. Tom Turkey, I do.

dot com promo code Glenn 10 seconds station ID you have any relationships like that still um no not a one not a one I mean I don't know maybe they all divorced me long ago

But you work for me. Yeah, well, yeah, that's probably true. It's hard to get any friends when you work for Glenn Beck, let alone liberal friends. But I will say, I don't know, I could be wrong on this. Maybe it's because you're in Texas and you're a little bit more

willing to see the good in conservatives in this area. Maybe it's different, but like the liberals that I know, people who did vote for Harris or whatever, like I might think that they're completely insane politically and wouldn't want them running anything, a business, a state, you know, HOA. But at the end of the day, they all seem pretty normal. Like I actually, this, tell me, let me get your taste on this, Glenn. Do you feel like the...

Panic and cope is a lot less intense than 2016 because I do. I feel like I do. The liberals here kind of it wasn't real with Harris. They faked this passion for her. Yes. And they faked that they think Donald Trump is Hitler.

That's all. It's not real. And so when he wins, they're like, well, I don't know. Our prices will probably go down and taxes will go down and he'll probably do some annoying things I don't like on abortion or whatever. But what are you going to do? It feels much more like that than 2016, which seemed like a real life changing cataclysm for them. So I really want you to put this into perspective, too. Did you see the red and blue map? We have that. Put that up. Mm hmm.

Very red. It's really only the cities that are blue. And there is no reason why all of the people that live in red areas should be afraid of the blue people.

And because all of the people in the red areas, not all of them, but a majority of them at least, are constitutionalists and would never go for rounding your kids up or euthanizing people or anything like that, you shouldn't be afraid of the red either. But red, stop fearing the blue.

All righty. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It is simply safe. There was no glass that broke in your house last night. No sound of the alarm going off, letting police and everybody in the surrounding neighborhood, knowing that break-ins are occurring. The sound of a burglar alarm and a sign that says this home is protected by simply safe.

That is a major factor in robbers saying, I'm going to go to the next house because he knows he's probably going to get busted and hauled off to jail if he tries this one. Because SimpliSafe has 24-7 monitoring. Where most burglar alarms go off, the police do not respond because...

because they think it's a false alarm and they don't have time to cover all of it. So, SimpliSafe cuts that problem out by having 24-7 monitoring. They can check your alarm within five seconds, then get police on the phone and say, this is a real alarm. There's somebody breaking into the house and police are coming. SimpliSafe.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. While the left is soul-searching, why did we lose? How did we lose with a billion dollars and now a $20 million debt? My gosh, these people.

Well, let me give you a hint on that. Let me give you a chart here. White U.S. progressives now hold views far to the left of American minorities on many issues. So here are the issues. America is the greatest country in the world. 90% of white conservatives say that's true. 70, 73% of Hispanics. Black, 60%. White progressives, 30%.

So you would think just by the rhetoric from the left that blacks think that it's the worst. No, by half it is white progressives at 30%. Most people can make it if they work hard. White conservatives, about 85%, 87%. Hispanic, 60%. Black, 41%. White progressives, 22%.

Racism is built into our society. White conservatives, 25%. Hispanic, 39%. Blacks, 61%. White progressives, 76%. And finally, government should increase border security and enforcement. White conservatives, 98%. Hispanic, 50%. Blacks, 51%. White progressives, 10%.

That's why you lost, guys. You are completely out of step. No matter what color the rainbow is, unless it's white and progressive, you aren't next to anybody else. Let me go to Dan, who I was talking to at the end of the show yesterday, and I wanted to give him more time because he said he voted for Donald Trump because he was inspired. Hello, Dan.

Glenn, hi, it's a pleasure to speak with you. Thank you so much for taking the call. I wanted to let you know that, precisely to your point, I voted for Donald Trump for a hopeful future from the success that I've personally seen us have, that I've had, and that you've witnessed during his last presidency that seems to have been gone the last four years. I wanted to tell you in your audience that I met Donald Trump in 2011.

and how he is everything the left says he isn't. I came to his book signing at Trump Tower to tell him I read one of his books that inspired me as a young man and really helped me grow out of the poverty I endured. I was so excited, I bought one of every book he'd ever made to autograph. And I get to his table and the lady said to his side, "Sorry, he's only signing his new book."

And he looked up at me and said, no, I'll sign all of them for him. That's the Donald Trump I know. I introduced myself and my partner at the time is now my husband. And I looked him in the eye and I said how eternally grateful I am for his inspiration to me, that I would pray for him and his family's happiness, health and success. I thanked him and turned to leave. And he said, Daniel, you're a beautiful guy. And then he said, you know, you should really have a photo of this moment. Get your camera out.

I said, I didn't have one. It wasn't the type to go sticking cameras in people's faces who'd made the time to meet me anyway. But he rallied his line for a young gay man who he had just met. Let's talk about, you know, the Lord's kindest to the least of them. And the lady behind me who...

actually took the photograph, ended up writing me and sending me a card and said, with that picture, and said that she wasn't even a fan of Donald Trump, but was there that day because she was lonely and just lost her husband. I received that card, and thanks to Donald Trump's kindness to me and going the extra mile, I asked myself what the single nicest thing I could do for her would be, and saw the card and started to send her a card every single day for years so she'd never be lonely again. Oh my gosh.

Yup, Donald Trump was so kind to two gay guys. It's Donald Trump who inspired me to be a success. Let me tell you real briefly, and you and your audience, in 2016, I went from growing up that kid with a mother who worked so hard at a highway diner overnight just to be poor and starving without food, hot water, a bed to sleep in, to having my original recipe served at the Queen's Sandringham Estate for her Christmas Jubilee in 2016.

as well as several other of my recipes recreated at the restaurant there on our grounds. It was ran by our catering staff. It was the honor of a lifetime. I owned a little restaurant. I sold it. It was about to grow into another one in 2019 when COVID hit, completely ruined the new restaurant I had hoped to have. Then I got discovered.

by the largest home shopping network in the world and spent a year and a half writing recipes and producing a whole brand reveal for a buyer's meeting. They accepted two dozen recipes and then it all came crashing down when we couldn't get any of the co-packers to make it, including the Queen Soup, quote unquote. But it feels like when I look around this culinary landscape and this world we live in post-COVID, I see so many unnecessary monopolies and impressive systems put into place by the left

but it makes it prohibitive for anyone, much less a chef or anyone else out there who's made their way from the bottom to the top

And it has felt so hopeless these last four years, Glenn, for myself and many other chefs or just people wondering if we'll ever get to create or be inspired in any meaningful way again. And I hope that my vote in Donald Trump will change that. And I know after having met him, the incredible kindness he showed to me and how he inspired me all my life that it will for not just me, but everyone listening in your audience.

I am going to clip this for him and send it to him so he can hear it. Because I know he'll just be so honored that you remember that time and...

you know, how you're turning your life around and life is working out for you. So that is great. And you know what? I have to tell you, I want to get to know you, Dan. I am fascinated by, you know, the fact that you have, you've created all of these recipes. I mean, you are obviously a driven man. That's fantastic. I love those people.

What an honor. Thank you so much, Glenn. I sincerely appreciate it. And like I said, I still have the picture from the day and all of those books that Donald Trump signed. I'll never part with them. And, uh, I, my, uh,

My life and my page, if I can tell you my Facebook page, it's Chef Daniel Lancaster, Pennsylvania. If you ever want to follow me and see my work and my blog about life in Lancaster County, which, by the way, thank you for your honest and incredible coverage of the Amish. You know, these are my friends, my neighbors, and they create beautifully. And, you know, and every day of my life, I'm reminded how America and our American spirit, how we can do so much.

so much with so little. I saw that all around me growing up. Actually, growing up, I had no reason to believe I could succeed. And my mother, I still remember her wrapping her feet in shopping bags just to walk miles of train tracks at night in the snow to get to work and work overnight and come home and starve.

And to think that one day a young man with no food growing up and not food promised to me the next day that I would have my food served at the Queens estate and all these great places. And it just seems like that all of these systems and things that have been set into place and COVID, every time I could get ahead, it knocked me down at the knees so much so that these last four years, I'd really felt that all the hope was taken out of me. And so I just really have so much hope in the next four years, Glenn.

You're a remarkable person. Hang on. Would you give him Lauren's contact so I can stay in touch with Dan? Dan, God bless you. It's going to be incredible. Donald Trump didn't necessarily know what he was walking into last time, but he knows now. And I think amazing things. I think he's right. America's golden era is just ahead of us.

Okay. Wow, that was great. All right, let me take a quick break, tell you about Mantis X. Mantis X is going to bring you closer to being the shooter you were meant to be. When it comes to keeping up with target practice, you're up against some real limitations. Not only is the ammunition expensive, but you're limited to the numbers of places that you can go, you know, where, you know, it's cool just to fire off a gun.

Too bad this isn't the good old days. Oh, wait, in some places it still is. But when you're firing a gun with a Mantis X attached to it, you can improve your shot whether you're firing live ammunition or you're just dry firing. Whatever you do to practice...

You can practice at home with this high-tech, easy-to-use system. It started with the Marines they were using, and then it's all over the military. It helps you improve your shooting really quickly. You attach it to your firearm and connect it with an app on your smartphone or your tablet via Bluetooth. Then whether you are actual firing or dry fire practicing, it'll give you instant feedback, and 94% of the shooters improve. I improved dramatically, and I'm a good shot within 20 minutes.

Be a responsible gun owner. Increase your competence and your confidence with Mantis X. That's MantisX.com. MantisX.com. Are opinions weighing you down? Call in and let it out. 888-727-BECK. This is the Glenn Beck Program. ♪♪♪

The FBI is all over this. FBI has just sent out a text that

They are aware of the offensive and racist text messages that is being sent to individuals around the country, and it is in contact with the Justice Department and other federal authorities on the matter. As always, the FBI encourages members of the public to report threats of physical violence to local law enforcement authorities. Now, I have to tell you, Stu, this is...

There's no way this is Russian propaganda or just somebody on the left. I mean, there's no way. This is, at the very least, just a troll. Yeah, I definitely want the FBI in the middle of navigating the content of text messages. That's their role. Listen to this one because this one sounds so serious. Greetings. You have been selected to pick cotton at nearest plantation.

Be ready at 1 p.m. Sharp with your belongings. Your executive slaves will come and get you in a brown van. Be prepared to be searched down once you enter plantation. You are in plantation group T. Ha ha ha!

Plantation Group T. Come on. Who would believe it? Come on. The FBI is taking this very seriously. Now, I mean, if I got this, I would be like, all right. But this is clearly either somebody who has an IQ of about 60 or it's a foreign, you know, national group.

You don't think Boris is running that? I would say there's a third option, which you kind of mentioned before, which is someone on the left intentionally trying to make it look like this. Like the people who show up at rallies with the signs that, you know, obviously are not real. They're like, you know, Handmaid's Tale fan fiction for leftists. So I used the wrong accent. I should have been like...

You have been selected to pick cotton at the nearest plantation. They'll never know it is me and my cohorts here at the dorms. It really is just so... And I feel like there are like...

I don't know. Some people who actually believe this stuff, and I feel bad for them at some level, the people that are dumb enough to believe what the media says that they're going to be put in camps. I really feel bad. That's a terrible way to live. And we've seen real world consequences, especially around the issue of abortion, where they said, if you go to get medical care because the abortion pill we've told you over and over again is as safe as ibuprofen is about to kill you,

you will be arrested and women are not going to get that care. And then they are dying because of it, because of the abortion pill, not because of the abortion laws, but because of the abortion pill and the lies that have been fed to them by the media. And none of them care. None of them care that they are scaring women into situations where they lose their lives for absolutely no reason.

You know, we you've seen over the years they do the same thing to children over the climate. They terrify them as if the worst possible things are going to happen and they live in fear. And at some level, I do feel bad that those people are dumb enough to fall for it. But at the end of the day, there's not much you can do about that. It's reality. And reality indicates that none of these things are going to occur to you. I'm sorry. I know you want to be the hero in The Handmaid's Tale, but it's just not happening.

Can I be very unpopular with my own audience for a second? Yes. You don't recommend it. I don't recommend it. You do have a business you're trying to run here, but you're already in the Radio Hall of Fame. They can't take that away from you, so who cares? They can. They can. I mean, they sent me a broken statue for it. Yeah, that's true. It was like the top was broken off. They're like, I don't know. I think we got one in the garage. Send that one to him. Yeah, they definitely broke that, and I didn't.

Wait a minute. So I have to say that our worries about the stealing of the election are

may have been unfounded. And, you know, maybe it would have been different if we didn't have the GOP guarding and on their side guarding, which I feel good about. I think that should be done every single election. I think there should be, you know, people who are dead serious with lots of attorneys who,

Watching everything and making sure that no funny business is going on. But I can't take the people on our side who are saying, wait a minute. She had 54 million people vote. Last time Joe Biden had 81 million. Are those all dead people? No. No.

No, it was a fluke year because we were all voting. What? Not all of us, but most were voting by mail. The the rules had been changed. So that accounts for some. And then also you have all of these people voting by mail.

So, no, it's not... I mean, Donald Trump got, what, 71 million? 78 million? Something crazy like that? Did he cheat, too? Or were those all dead people, too? Because he only got, what, 71 this time? Glenn, I... Yeah, I mean, I think it...

I don't need to go on a rant about the chart that's going around right now, but like there's a, there's a chart crime being committed on the internet over and over and over again. And I keep seeing it in my feed, but you're right. I mean, like the bottom line is those raw number of votes are going to be higher in 2020 because of the rule changes. And if you don't believe that you have to believe Donald Trump, right? Because of COVID, those were the rule changes.

And if you don't believe that, you have to believe that Donald Trump got less popular from 2020 to 2024 because he's probably going to come up with less votes as well. It doesn't make much sense. You couldn't believe the election was stolen without using that data to support it because it doesn't support it. Yeah, it does. They didn't find, you know, 15 million dead people to vote. That did not happen.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Welcome.

Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We've got a lot to discuss. We're going to talk a little bit about the economy and also about some of the different things that are going on in our courts and Donald Trump's first message on what he's going to do first, what he's already starting to do. To me, it's very exciting. We'll talk about that coming up in just a second. First, Jason from Texas wrote in that he has a nine-year-old Great Dane who has a thyroid problem.

Until recently, he said she slept 23 hours a day. That's before he started Rough Greens. I can't believe the difference is what he wrote to me. She does a happy dance all the way to her bowl. She's so much more active. She even jumped up on my shoulders twice last week. She hadn't been able to do that in five years. It is amazing, the transformation.

This is what I saw with Uno. It's like he became a puppy again. There is dog food and then there is the supplement that you put on the dog food. So what you do is you buy a bag of Rough Greens and you just sprinkle this on top of the dog food. It has all the probiotics, antioxidants, all the vitamins and minerals that they need. And you will see a difference in your dog. And they're so confident that your dog is going to like it and that you're going to see almost an immediate difference.

All you have to do is just go to roughgreens.com slash Beck and they will send you the first trial bag for free. It's a jumpstart trial bag. You just pay for shipping. It's at roughgreens.com slash Beck or call 833-GLENN-33. 833-GLENN-33. Roughgreens.com slash Beck. So, Stu, are you almost giddy?

at what is possibly coming? Yeah, I think I'm really, I'm excited. I was trying to think of what I'm most excited about, because there's a good chance that the Republicans get the House. And by the way, you know, this is going to be close. Don't toy with my feelings here, Stu. I know. I was interested because there was so, you know, I think this is the right thing to feel, but there's very little panic over

Over the House? I think the Republicans will get it. But if you think about, like, you know, the shenanigans that have been worried about over the years, I will say this. I thought that word was shenanigans. Yeah, I know. I was going to go a different direction. The shenanigans that we've been worried about over the years, it would be a heck of a lot easier to steal this House election than anything else you can possibly imagine. We're going to be completely dependent on California districts that take two weeks to count.

That is like legitimately what the House comes down to. So the fact that we're not freaked out about that, I think, is good. You know, maybe that means at the end of the day, whatever problems we may have had before have been solved. But at the end of the day, we're looking at a very close, maybe 220, maybe 221, if we're lucky, in the House. It's going to be in that general vicinity. They're saying markets say it's about a 93% chance that Republicans will get the House, but not 100%.

So that's still out there. But if you are able to get that, I was thinking about what does that mean? Right. You're going to have 53 senators at least. McCormick, by the way, even though some places haven't called that race, McCormick is going to get that race in Pennsylvania.

You still have two possibilities, Cary Lake in Arizona and Sam Brown in Nevada that are possible. I would say probably less than 50 percent on those. But 53 isn't 50 or 51. So you've got a little bit of a cushion there. The more cushion you have for Murkowski and Collins and Collins. Right. At least got that going for you, which is nice. Yeah.

And the more cushion you have, the better bill you can get out of, let's say, reconciliation to keep it as nerdy as possible. You're going to get one bill, basically, that is going to give you that you can pass with 50 votes. This is how Donald Trump passed the tax break package he passed back in his first term.

And we may very well get a good tax break package. It may be really good. You know, maybe he gets even more aggressive. Because remember, that was sort of an off-the-shelf Republican proposal, largely, that they passed in 2017. So maybe we'll get something even better. But honestly, I was thinking about it. That's not what I'm most excited about. I think what I might be most excited about is the prospect of Elon Musk coming in and identifying places to come. Oh, yeah.

Me too. There's something about that because that is really his, all of his brilliance. We all know the guy is a genius. Yeah. But of all of his brilliance, that I think is what you take most away from what he was able to bring to all of the companies. Sometimes it's even presented as soulless and heartless, right? Like he just comes in and he has no care for what he's just like, we don't need this. Hang on just a second. Mm-hmm.

It's a company. Yeah. I mean, it's not a charity. It's a company. Agreed. And look at how many people this heartless bastard got from Twitter. Well, it's doing better than it ever has. You know,

You might have your complaints here and there, but I believe X saved the Republic. I wonder if it wasn't for Elon Musk buying Twitter, if we would have won. I think that's very true. And I think, remember, when you say it's doing better than it's ever done, you can definitely look at financial measures that do not agree with that comment. However, that's not what his goal was. What was his goal? His goal was to allow people to speak freely.

And it was an expensive car.

Jean into that world. I mean, you know, but it was worth it, I think. And it was something he was protecting the first amendment. And I didn't mean to say that in a negative way when I said heartless and soulless, that was how it has been portrayed by many. That's the way it spins. Yeah. Every time. And there are plenty of stories of him being tough on employees, maybe too tough on certain employees, but that attitude 100% is necessary in the federal government. Yeah.

Whatever he thought was waste at Tesla or SpaceX or Twitter is nothing compared to the burden we all carry with incompetent employees and complete waste and nonsensical programs that accomplish nothing.

We all carry that burden. And if Donald Trump empowers him and he wants to take this on, as they talked about during the campaign, I feel like it's one of those things we could actually see a real difference made. Not just a little, hey, we shaved 4% off of this rate, which I will cheer on. I will be happy with tax rates going down. But like, that's something I think could really change the country in a positive direction. I want you to bring your best hat back.

your best thinking cap on Monday, because I scheduled an economist who said the way that Donald Trump is thinking about tariffs would mean an $18,000 raise for everybody and could actually work to pay our taxes.

to pay our, you know, our bills every month. And now I, I don't know. I haven't heard the full argument. I do, but I just want to hear it because if we can cut back our spending, so it's fairly reasonable and we're still, you know, providing a safety net and everything else.

I am very interested in rebuilding our industries, rebuilding our factories, and actually motivating people to go to work and learn a real skill and start making things here in America and having pride in that. And I think for the first time, I think...

If I can get somebody to tell me all of the metrics and the numbers, because the numbers, they have to work out. But that to me is thrilling. Even if you went to a 5% income tax, I'd rather abolish it. But if you did something dramatic, you imagine the money that would open up

that could be invested in job creation, new businesses. Can you imagine what would happen in a country where we didn't have income tax? Look, there is a three-prong approach that he's talked about.

One is raising tariffs. One is, as you mentioned, getting rid of the income tax. And a third would be cutting the government down to levels, you know, roughly, you know, you, of course, adjust for inflation and you adjust for population growth and all these things, but roughly to the 1800s, as he talked about 1880s.

Or 1920s. Calvin Coolidge did this. Calvin Coolidge did some of this as well. He actually, yeah, he was more friendly to tariffs, even though, you know, it's not my favorite policy, but he is one of my favorite presidents. Yeah. But, you know, those three things are, if you could do all three of those together, it adjusts the country in a way that is so dramatic that

it would probably do a lot of really positive things. Now the issue with it, like 5% growth, like 5% growth a year.

That puts us into the when China was doing well kind of growth. Yeah, and I think we can get locked into sort of the fantasy league ideas here where like... I'd like to. We've been in Doom City for a long time. This is a good time to do it, right? He just won. What can we do here? The issue with these three policies together is one of them is really easy to do, which is raise tariffs. Donald Trump can do that just on his own. The other two are nearly impossible. I mean, you know...

I literally sell mugs at stewdoesmerch.com that say repeal the 16th Amendment. So I am 100% this should be our goal. But you're right. There might be a modified version of this that makes sense. If you can control spending, if you can cut some, and you can lower the income tax a great deal,

and replace some of that income with tariffs. I don't think that that would be the type of situation that would be horrible. I don't... I mean, you know, we do forget at times we are the second largest manufacturing country in the world. We do make a lot of things here. I know, I do. A lot of times, you know, those measures, I think, are a little bit out of whack. But...

That being said, if I'm happy to trade, I'll trade getting rid of the income tax for a lot. There's a lot of stuff I'm willing to deal with on the policy front if we could get a win like that. And why not go for it? Why not? I know. I mean, he is the guy who could do it. Donald Trump is the guy who could do it. He could get that constitutional amendment passed on the...

The term limits on Congress. I think he could get that passed. If he backed it, he could get it passed. If if he wanted to repeal the 16th Amendment with another constitutional amendment and he really laid it out. Here's what this would mean for you. I think the numbers are so staggering that who wouldn't be for that?

Well, certainly constitutional amendments are difficult because you need the other side involved in them. And that makes them, I mean, there are other approaches, but it's, you know how hard it is. It's hard. We've done it, what, 27 times in a couple hundred years? And most of them were right at the beginning. It's really hard to do. And it should be hard to do, by the way. But that's a change that I would absolutely love. Term limits are one. Term limits are, I would say, arguably more...

from a pragmatic, doable circumstance. This is a really popular policy. People can't stand the fact that Nancy Pelosi just won her 20th term in Congress. 20 terms in Congress. People don't like that. They don't like it on Republicans or Democrats. You're talking about 80% approval numbers for a proposal like that. And

And I think Trump also looks at it and says, you know what? Good chance that if I ran again, I'd win. I'm limited. Why aren't you?

Like, I think he looks at that and just says, as a general idea of fairness, why is the president limited to two terms when senators get to go for multiple six-year terms? Congressmen can go forever with two-year terms. Why not make it so there are limits across the board? Wouldn't it be amazing—

If the last time they put term limits on was through Congress because they saw how out of control FDR was, and it was the Democrats that led that,

And thought, we can't have that. Can't have that. And now, to come back after Congress has done nothing and our government is out of control like it was at the beginning of FDR and through Woodrow Wilson, to have now the president come back and say, all right, let's finish that job.

Yeah. The progressives always take people's breath away. They always go too far. And they hit a point where you're like, oh, my gosh, that is like, whoa, what are we doing here?

And they've done it again. You notice that when you see people with bulges in their swimsuits winning gold medals. That's a reminder for the women, for the women's swimming events. Yeah, no, I mean, I think I think that's true. You get a, you know, something like the term limits. I think there's very, very limited opposition to Donald Trump forever.

For what he makes a priority from the Republicans. So when you're talking about laws, you're not going to get much pushback from Republicans on this stuff. I think, you know, when you get into constitutional amendments, it becomes much more difficult. But it's all a matter of what Donald Trump prioritizes. If you remember in 2016 and 2017, he also ran.

on a proposal to do term limits. He just never really made it a huge priority. He would mention it in speeches, but this time I think he's serious about it. I mean, this is the one in his first, that speech we played earlier, his first 10 things he wants to do, he included it. You haven't heard it.

Oh, it's so great. All right. More in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Patriot Mobile. Sometimes the value of a product or service relies heavily on the values of the company that is producing the product or the service. Your mobile carrier is no exception to this rule. Aren't you tired of having to pay through the nose for a bunch of stuff that you look at your bill and you're like, what the hell is that charge all about?

And also knowing that they're taking some of that money and they're supporting things like abortion and Planned Parenthood.

Patriot Mobile is the nation's only Christian mobile phone company, and it is on the same cell towers as the major carriers, so you get the same great service, but at half the cost. Patriot Mobile has affordable, customizable plans for any family, and they'll donate a portion of your bill to conservative causes, and it gets even better because right now, when you make the switch to Patriot Mobile, you're going to get a whole month for free. They're Americans only.

America's only Christian conservative mobile phone company and it is their mission to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always in everything they do. And they do it. PatriotMobile.com slash back 972 Patriot. You sign up today, you're going to get a free month of service. PatriotMobile.com slash back.

Yeah, I think Donald Trump has seen the light on many things. You know, I think I think any of the judges that he is going to appoint are going to be super constitutional judges, right?

I mean, now I feel comfortable now, not right now, but after January 20th of Clarence Thomas saying, you know, I want to take some time with my wife. I don't want to lose Clarence Thomas. He is absolutely the best we've had in my lifetime. Well, he and Scalia, but...

Now, he can appoint two young guys, and I think they'll be constitutionalists because he's seen the power of that. He's seen the difference, and he has to appoint, I think, 300 judges, right around 300 judges on the federal bench. And I am being told that they are even more constitutional than anything he's ever appointed before, and he did a good job last time around.

Yeah. Mike Lee just tweeted yesterday about the Federal Reserve. The head of the Federal Reserve said if the president asked him to resign, he's not going to. Well, wait, hold on. Just say, who do you work for? You work for the Federal Reserve. You work for the president. Who's your boss? You have no boss. Then who elected you? I mean, this is this going to be a real problem.

It's going to be a real, real problem. Yeah. You know, you look too deeply in the legal aspects of that. Because I mean, the mainstream media basically is saying that he the laws on his side that he gets to fill out his term. I don't know. I mean, I don't know how it works. Honestly, I know Alan Dershowitz was going to be on with us today. I'm not sure if he's going to join later. He'd probably know the answer to this. But it seems like.

The president can typically fire the people he's appointed. Remember, this is a Trump appointee we're talking about, Powell. He was not even appointed by Biden. This is a Trump appointee. But they seem to claim the law has him able to fill out the term, which would end in 2026. Yeah, so I think that he probably does have the law on his side. But I think this law with the whole Federal Reserve is flawed from the get-go.

I mean, you know, while we're dreaming here, abolish the Fed, abolish the Fed. Let me say it again because I like saying it so much. Abolish the Fed. We don't need to audit them. We need to abolish them. But we're going to start having this fight about, you know, do you work for the president or not? Because he's going to clean house.

He is going to clean house. Hopefully, I'd like to hear his, you know, which agencies is he going to shut down? You know, I know you're very skeptical of RFK, but when he said yesterday that in the FDA, there's whole divisions that just need to be shuttered.

I liked it. I would have rather heard him say instead of shuttering, that implies that you're going to keep some of that structure around, burn it down to the ground so there's nothing left of it. I mean, between that and Donald Trump saying he's getting rid of all of the pass-throughs of going from one company to the government and then back to the other company that you were just regulating...

These are great moves. These are great moves to clear up any kind of corruption and to make our government more transparent. You know, in 2008, Barack Obama, you know, did hope and what was the hope in change? You're finally getting it. You're finally getting it. Okay, let me talk to you about Real Estate Agents I Trust.

I value my sanity. You know, for what sanity I have, I don't want to lose. It's like my hair. I don't want to lose all of it. But if I'm going to buy or sell a house, it's the biggest burden on your day and your life, honestly. It's so complex and it's so all-encompassing. You need a great real estate agent.

I started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal. And I learned, what is it you do?

How do you do it? What makes you a great real estate agent? Well, there is a formula to it. There are certain best practices that they do that others don't. That's what makes them the best. So we started looking for those best practices. And then we started looking for people that are fans of the show and people that would get along with you and you could make a new friend even. But the most important thing is having the best practices and getting your home sold and getting you into the next one.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. So it's very exciting. I'm just writing my Dear Santa Trump list.

Take care of the border, justice reform, Elon cuts, Maha, tax cuts. I'll take it 15% corporate, but can we start with zero with tariffs? Deep cuts in regulations, Department of Ed, close it down. Pentagon, stop the madness. That's all I've got so far, but it's going to be a long list. I'm going to send to Santa Trump.

If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear it. One of the things I know he's going to do is probably give a great gift to anybody who has Bitcoin.

or anybody who's in the Bitcoin industry, because I, he has said he is against the Fed coin and he, in his administration will stop that from ever becoming a reality. I hope he can pull that one off. Uh, but gold is up, uh, still it's down what? $30 from election day, but it, it's still doing well. Uh,

I think 2700 was just coming off of an all-time high yesterday, all-time high for Bitcoin. That's come down just a little bit, but the economy could roar. And we have Carol Roth with us now. Hi, Carol. Hi, Glenn. We promised people that we would get together and have something good to talk about at some point in time. So we've manifested. That's right.

And we have optimism. And I think that's actually my most exciting point is the optimism. It could be four and a half years since we've had real optimism in this country from the time of the COVID mess.

through the Biden-Harris administration. And sentiment is such a self-fulfilling prophecy, particularly for the economy, but in all aspects of life. So the fact that we have this huge sense of relief is lifted off our shoulders, not to say that there's an easy road ahead, but just to have the optimism that, yes, we can go out and do this. It's such a blessed, blessed day and week.

on that. So the stock market, you sent me something, oh, maybe six o'clock on Tuesday night and you said, Glenn, stock market is up 200 points. That bodes well for Trump.

And then it just kept going up. The after hours stock market just kept going up all throughout the night. And it's doing well. Usually they will bake in what they think is coming. They really thought a Kamala administration was coming, didn't they?

No, they actually had baked in a Trump win. So that's why this was so staggering. I think what they didn't have baked in is what a resounding mandate that he would have. The fact that he would have the Senate, the fact that he'd win the popular vote. You know, obviously we're still waiting, but hopefully the House. The fact that this was the country saying, we want this mandate. And CNBC said this morning that we are on track for the best week in the stock market in a year.

And what is most exciting about what's happened in the market is that it has been a very broad raise. You know, we've been through a time over the past several years where just a handful of tech companies, yeah, they're the ones who've been lifting the markets. The Russell 2000, which is the smaller cap publicly traded companies, they were up

up 5% the day after the election, 5% in one day, which means small companies and medium-sized companies think that they're going to get access to capital and have the optimism to grow their business. And we know we need that broad-based growth, not just a handful of companies. So that was really one of my big takeaways. I mean, if I were somebody that wanted to start my own business, I would be planning on it right now. I mean, I, I, I,

I think America has a chance to have another golden era here.

And, you know, maybe they put a stop to it in four years. But if it is, if he can turn this thing around quickly and actually make the kinds of moves that he's talking about, massive fundamental change in just the garbage of the bureaucracy, that could affect us for a very long time. And you could also see, with that kind of success, that

12 years, not just him, but then two terms of J.D. Vance. Absolutely. And I think for small businesses in particular, the people who are looking to start them or grow an existing business, there were three key areas that the Biden-Harris administration really tamped down on that sort of optimism from the back

bone of the economy, the first one being the ability to work flexibly. You know, Trump, the Trump administration had put this very pro-independent contractor, pro-gig work framework in place, and they reversed that in its entirety. So the fact that that goes away is huge.

From a regulatory standpoint, $1.7 trillion in regulatory burden is the estimate of the Biden-Harris administration on small business alone. Small businesses don't have time for this and they don't have the staff or the money for this. So the fact that we know we're going to get more of that regulation cleaned out is

absolutely huge. And then the tax uncertainty, you know, the tax cuts and job backs is set to expire next year in large part. And the fact that, you know, we know that Trump is going to be, you know, more open to, you know, extending some of those cuts and maybe even further cutting and hopefully helping small businesses have that certainty because you can, again, can't make those investments if you're not sure what's going to happen. Plus, we know we're not

going to get the crazy capital gains taxes and the wealth taxes and all those other things that are proposed. So this is really a three-legged stool that will help to unleash growth. And it is, you know, it is such, such a blessing. So let's go over some of the things that he has to do. He's obviously going to fix the border and, you know, deport people. I can't take it anymore. This is the largest deportation in U.S. history. Well, I never, I didn't even know

that the largest deportation happened under Bill Clinton with 11 million people deported from our country. 11 million. Nobody said boo about that. Our population is bigger. And what is he talking about? Maybe 10 to 15 million, maybe 20. This is ridiculous that everybody's freaking out when Bill Clinton was the guy who did it the first time and it didn't hurt anything.

Yeah, I mean, we've had a mass invasion. And while something like mass deportations may sound like just a security or a social policy, it's obviously very much an economic policy. The estimate from FAIR just in 2023 alone, so forget about this year, was $150 billion that was spent on these illegals. And that doesn't include things like what it does to the demoralization of

communities, what it does to keep wages suppressed and people on the sidelines. Back in 2022, the SDS-

Yeah.

huge financial issue for us. And whatever the cost is to get them out of the country will be worth it because the return on investment for doing that in all facets will far exceed it. It absolutely has to be the first thing that he does. We know that he's also going to, one of the first things he's going to do on the first day is restore our energy policy, drill, baby drill, and open up all of that stuff again. Thank God. Um, the, um,

The ESG, I just got a note from somebody who said, one investment bank is advising ESG fund managers to keep their lawyers very close. Antitrust risk remains high for asset managers in ESG. There haven't been any cases yet, thus there's no legal precedent. Further legal risks regarding fiduciary duty will stay relevant as states enforce antitrust ESG laws. ESG, do you see the stake going through its heart?

I mean, we certainly hope so. The challenge with something like ESG is they always repackage it and it comes back to life as something else. It's kind of like the vampire who shapeshifts into something different. So my guess is that ESG, as known as ESG, goes away and then they come back and they concoct something else and now it has a new name. So it is a bit of a whack-a-mole. We're going to have to continue to be on it. But I absolutely think that there is going to be – there's already a huge push to get away from it –

In part because everybody is seeing all these promises. Oh, ESG is going to do all these wonderful things for investments. That hasn't materialized. And it really has been this greenwashing. So I feel like it's already on that trend. And this could be the final nail in the vampire's coffin until he rises again. So the COP25 is coming up. And the last time that he attended or the first time he, I don't even know if he attended. He might have just sent a note, we're out.

of the Paris Accords and everything else, that too is going to shake the global community and really put, I mean, it could take it down. If he is really strong on this World Economic Forum garbage that has been shoveled, if he's really strong on that, he could put the stake in its heart.

You get the right government efficiency commission and we should be out of everything. We should stop funding the WEF. We should stop funding the UN. We should stop funding all of this insanity and take that money and make that available to pay down our debt and to shrink our deficits and to stop with these NGOs who are getting massive fees.

funding from us and then coming in and trying to ruin our lives. So when you add your list to Trump Santa, please include getting rid of all of the funding to these ridiculous organizations.

Well, I think that goes kind of under the border thing, because that's where we've really enriched these NGOs here in the country. I mean, some of them should go to jail. They brought these people in over the border with our tax money. They flew them around the country with our tax money. I mean, I think there should be at least an investigation on that. I second you on that one.

When it comes to taxes, what do you think about the idea? You would need to actually do both of them together. I'm not a tariff guy, but if your goal is to rebuild America and to rebuild our manufacturing and bring money back onto shore and jobs back onto shore, if you cut, like he was talking about, no income tax, right?

If you cut the income tax and reimpose stiff tariffs, what happens? So I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings and math here, but the math doesn't really work out because you have to remember 70% of our economy is service-based. And even if you boost up manufacturing on a big level, the amount that it would take to replace what we have in terms of an income tax is

It just today is not mathematically possible. We also have this scenario where we're trying to make sure that the GDP increases and that our revenue stays pretty stable at the same time that we're trying to get rid of the additional spending. And that is going to be a very delicate dance. So I think this is something that needs to be managed strategically.

Could you come up with a flat tax or a 15% tax that just makes the economy roar?

I absolutely do think that you can do that. And something that is simple also takes away a lot of the administration and the burden that comes along with that, that makes, you know, just takes away productive time from people. You know, you're spending it on paperwork instead of spending it out in the economy. So I do think there could be something that is streamlined. But again, the tax code is so insane. I imagine that will take some time. But would

completely welcome it. And there are so many entrepreneurial people who are around Trump this time around, you know, the Elon Musk's and the Vivek's and whatnot. I think this is the time where there's an opportunity to actually get something like this done. And we need that, Glenn. We need to have the growth because if we don't have the massive growth, we're not going to be able to shrink the government. We're not going to be able to do these things without unleashing massive inflation. So that's the dance that we have.

Good. Thank you very much, Carol. I appreciate it. And we might want to have you back on on Monday. I'm trying to get somebody who is for...

the Trump tariffs and everything. And I want to hear the, the best of the other side, but it would be great to have you listen to that and then say, okay, not this just so we can hear both sides. Thanks. All right. Let's do it. Okay. Have a good one. You got it. Let me tell you about car shield every day. Your car takes you back and forth to all kinds of places you need to go.

All right, welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It is Friday. You know, Glenn, when you get in moments like this after something, a big kind of revolution happens in the country, oftentimes you kind of figure out what you're going to do next, and it feels like there's so much to do.

You can't get that. You can't go to that next level. You can't find that extra thing you're going to need to really change things until someone comes along and really inspires you to do so. And, you know, I just want to say you did that for me yesterday. I hadn't even thought of this approach. I haven't even thought of going this far for the country. But after listening to you yesterday, I thought maybe we could play it back so that others can be as inspired as I was. I'll fight for your right.

To say what you believe. I will also fart for your right to say what you believe, Glenn. And I want people to know and remember that.

What did he say again, Sarah? What was that? Go fart for your right to say what you believe. He'll do it for you if Glenn will go that far. Yes! 100%. It's Friday. It's been a good week, and I, too, will fart for your rights, America. Go fart for your right.

welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenn beck program well there is one name that should be heralded for this win uh he is a guy who probably made the biggest impact on this election

probably outside of Donald Trump and maybe Elon Musk. It's Charlie Kirk. He joins me for an hour here.

On the Glenn Beck program, beginning in 60 seconds, standby first. Abortion is part, a tragic part of our lives as Americans. Even after overturning of Roe versus Wade, it continues to rob children of the right to live. And it's more devastating that a majority of the women who get abortion say they would have chosen life if they had more support. Well, okay. So we know what they need. Let's support them, right?

Let's change hearts and minds in this country. I'm proud to be with Preborn. Every day, they sponsor free ultrasounds for women as well as providing help for up to two years after the baby is born. When a mom sees her unborn child on that monitor, when she hears that heartbeat, she's twice as likely to consider choosing life for her baby.

Preborn is saving 200 babies a day with help from people like you and me. One ultrasound is $28. 140 helps rescue five babies' lives.

You want to do something of merit? You want to find favor in the eyes of God for our country? Let's save his children, both the moms and the babies. To donate securely, dial pound 250, say the keyword baby. That's pound 250, keyword baby. Or go to preborn.com slash Beck. Preborn.com slash Beck, sponsored by Preborn. All right, first, the first person we have to thank or the first thing that we have to thank is God.

God worked miracles in this country this last week, and we would be remiss and really poor children if we didn't recognize his hand in this election. It is incredible what has happened. I told you before, I can find a million ways this thing flies apart, but there's only one way we hold it together, and that's God. And I think we've all witnessed that.

Now, on the human level, one of the guys who I don't think has gotten enough credit yet but will get all the credit he deserves is Charlie Kirk. Charlie started something called Turning Point USA. I know you know of it. He is the founder and CEO of Turning Point, also the host of the Charlie Kirk show. But this guy...

I don't know what we would have done without you, Charlie. I mean, you really turned the vote out. Thank you. Well, Glenn, first of all, you said it correctly. Glory be to God. We were one millimeter, a couple millimeters away from the entire country going into bedlam. You see that so perfectly said. Throughout the entire campaign, I had this...

the spirit of paranoia, like, are we really going to do this? Are they going to come up with another sneak attack? Are they going to do another COVID? Are they going to... And at every corner and every turn, and so glory be to God, God is not done with this land, Glenn. And God is not done. And the second, I wish I could take credit for all this, but

is the american people and i know it sounds cliche i don't come generic but the american people with stood the the most intense propaganda political hurricane

of American history. There's never been anything like it. It was worse than 2020. It was worse than 2016, calling us Nazis and fascists and, you know, saying that Donald Trump was going to, you know, put people in camps and all that. And the American people weighed their options, despite Kamala Harris outspending Trump three or four times to one. And

and make the right choice but look uh... i i just we played a small role and we did it in two ways we've said on this election we want to try to lose by less with younger voters and then we are going to create the most sophisticated low propensity get out the vote turnout machine uh... in in modern political history for the right and here was our our art the theory of the case first on the on the get out the vote

which is that we believed that there were millions of people that were Trump supporters that were not Trump voters. The people that would say, "Yay, Trump," and they would be with them, but they weren't putting a ballot in a box. They weren't casting a vote. And we tested the theory of the case when I started to go to Trump rallies

And I would ask people, and I'd take a lot of selfies. People are super nice and they love the country. And one out of 30 people, I'd say, hey, are you registered to vote? And they'd say, oh, yeah, I think so, yeah. And I'd get this kind of, you know,

you know, half answer. And so I got one back to my team. I said, guys, I think there's a lot more in this reservoir than we realize. And so we compared it with the data, with the Trump campaign, which we were allowed to do thanks to a FTC ruling back in the spring. And we said, guys, let's beat the left at their own game. Let's engage in early voting.

even though it's a flawed system in a way that has never been done before, because it gives us actually more days to get low likely voters to go vote. If you have 30 days to do it, you can then get someone who is not as easy to persuade to vote because then you can get five or six touches on them. So we hired well over 1000 full-time people. It's the greatest ground force that's ever done. We raised tens of millions of dollars, praise God, from our donors. And we pitched them on this thing. Hey,

The road to the White House is going to be going through these states. We know that. We're going to need to first register a ton of voters, build relationships in communities, and then drive a turnout machine over a 30-day period to get Donald Trump across the finish line.

And the states that we primarily focused on was Arizona, Wisconsin. We had some work, of course, in Pennsylvania, in Georgia, but really Arizona, Wisconsin. And in Wisconsin, I can tell you that if it wasn't for our effort, Donald Trump would have fallen short. We chased an excess of over 70,000 low propensity voters in Wisconsin. Donald Trump won by 28,000 votes.

Here in Arizona, as we are speaking, we still have 850,000 votes left to count. We like to take at least 90 days to count our ballots here. It's a joke. And Cary Lake is only down 44. It's really something else. I know it is. I know it is. By St. Patrick's Day, we'll find out who won the Senate race. But Cary Lake is down 44,000 votes here in Arizona. And

She might fall 10,000 votes short or win by 10,000 votes. But thanks to our effort and the team, we closed an eight-point polling gap for Carrie Lake. And so, look, basically what we did is we took this movement that Donald Trump created, that Donald Trump led, and we added machinery to the movement. And we were able to successfully turn Trump supporters into Trump voters.

Charlie, I've been obviously looking at this forever, and we've never had a GOP that could get out of its own way. We've never had one that was competent. We never had a plan other than, hey, we're just better. And we lost it every time because we were either stupid or we just couldn't get out of our own way and get people to the polls.

This time around, I felt real confidence that the GOP had these issues covered at the polling places, that it was going to be secure, that if it wasn't, they had the attorneys and they had everybody else out there, just like the Democrats do. And we were going to catch the bad guys if the bad guys showed up.

So I had that confidence, and I also had confidence because of what you were doing, that we were going after the low-propensity voter. I've said for years, hey, somebody should get a bus like they do and pit people on a bus and take them to the polls. Somebody should do this. I know you did. I know you did. And that made all the difference in the world.

Well, thank you, Glenn. And let me say one thing, which is that, again, our theory of the case was that, OK, the RNC was going to limit some of the shenanigans, which, by the way, we didn't completely eliminate. Without that, we would have Senator Mike Rogers and Senator Huvde in Wisconsin. But one of the ways you offset the shenanigans and the tomfoolery is you outnumber them. And so you have so many ballots in the volume of the system that, you know, their midnight drops in Milwaukee are just not going to be sufficient.

And it turns out that that was a correct way of looking at it. And I want to say one other thing though, is that this was very, very difficult work and our team deserves enormous credit. Not just the full-time staff, you'll love this Glenn, we did a thing called Commit 100,

where we said, "Hey, if you're across the country and you're tired of just listening to talk radio and watching TV and seeing your country fall apart, if you will be able to fly yourself to Arizona, we'll put you up in a hotel room for a week or two, and we will give you the mobile technology to go chase ballots."

We had over 2,000 people from across the country that were working neighborhoods in Arizona to go chase ballots. 2,000 volunteers from across the country on top of, in Arizona, are 600 full-time people on

on the ground. So we blanketed the state. And Arizona, again, it's my passion, is the best performing of the seven battleground states, and we're still counting votes. It's the greatest swing of any battleground state from 2020. And it should give your audience a lot of renewed confidence

is that we are catching up to how the left has gamified our elections. They turn it into a game. Who can get the most amount of pieces of paper in the box? And we were still dealing in an antiquated mindset where we believe that elections were just about worldview and values and issues back in like 2004. The left, they changed all the rules and they made them permanent during COVID.

And between 2022, especially in 2024, we learned the rules, we caught up, and then we beat them at their own game. And that is what is so promising and encouraging that we were able to add this machinery to a once in a generation movement. And I will add one other thing is that some people are saying that it was a landslide. It was. However, Glenn, we're talking about Donald Trump. The final canvases will come out. He won Wisconsin by 30,000 votes.

Pennsylvania, one point. Michigan, point and a half. Without the turnout operation, without the voter integrity operation from the Trump campaign and the RNC, you could make an argument. And also the second layer is that we did 25 points better with younger voters. We won the youth vote in Michigan. We almost won the youth vote in Wisconsin.

What do you attribute that to other than your work and the work of others? How much do you put into Elon Musk, RFK, Joe Rogan, Theo Vaughn? Yeah.

Yeah. First of all, Elon Musk is an American hero. And that guy is the best of America who decided to just put everything on the line for his country. And I can't say enough good stuff about him. And by the way, President Trump deserves so much credit for doing these long form podcast. This was the year. This was the election of the podcast. And Democrats were unable. This is the end of the main. I said this the week before he went on Joe Rogan. I said, you watch this.

Joe Rogan, he'll go on Joe Rogan, 100 million people, and it will be the end of the mainstream media. This will show everybody for 2028, there's no reason to do a debate on ABC. There's no reason to go do an interview with CBS. Why? Why would you do that? Everything changed this time.

That's exactly right. And I attribute a lot to that. And in addition, Donald Trump was able to he was able to sit for three hours with no notes and go deep on the issues and have a total command of the subjects. And people here is the new standard, though. And the Democrats have to know this. You will never win another presidential election if you nominate a candidate who is unable to do long form podcasting.

People won't trust you. Period. End of story. And if you do not have a candidate that can go deep and that can think on their feet and have memory recall and be personal and charming and affable, the American people will reject that. Long gone are the days of...

seven minute, 60 minute interviews, right? Or, you know, 10 minute meet the press where you have five questions and they're prepared and that's it. Now you have to earn the vote because people are going to listen to you for three hours and see your, your tone and your inflection and whether you mean it. And so Donald Trump,

excelled in that. And Joe Rogan deserves such credit for having the platform. And to his credit as well, he was very fair. He wanted to broker a fair deal where Kamala was invited and Donald Trump. The other thing I will say, though, and I think you'll appreciate this, Glenn, with younger voters,

is that there was pent up rebellion energy amongst young Gen Z voters, especially men, for how they were treated during COVID. During COVID, they had their proms canceled, their graduation, summer class, a lot of their friends committed suicide. They're part of this generation that was hyper-propagandized by the left-wing woke stuff during the summer of Floyd.

and they realized that it was lies and that it was misrepresentations and then they get their news from podcasting and podcasting kept on talking about how great donald trump was an awful comal was because that was the right framing the generation started to tilt right and so and what was so remarkable is that democrats they didn't see this coming they were so confident they were so cocky that younger voters were going to continue to support them

again you could make the argument if it wasn't for the mass movement of younger voters in some of the states

Donald Trump might not have won. And again, the Sunbelt was a separate story. We did very well in the Sunbelt, four or five point margins, but the Rust Belt was one and a half, one point margins. We're coming up 30,000 votes here. So all these things add up in a very significant way. And it also should give your audience such hope. There's almost no documented case of a generation that becomes more liberal as they get older. So the fact that this generation is the most conservative voting generation since 1988,

That means that the future is only going to get redder. It's only going to become more conservative as they own property and get married and have children. So our starting point is the best starting point for our political movement since Ronald Reagan. And credit Donald Trump. And please, sorry.

And I think that it is only going to grow from here if Donald Trump can tick off the things that are on his list to do. More with Charlie Kirk here in 60 seconds. First, sometimes the cost of doing one's duty comes at a very, very high price. There are heroes in this country and abroad, service members and first responders who have given everything, the ultimate price, and then they leave family behind.

Where is the nation? Where is, you know, I want the government to do less. And if you want the government to do less, that means we have to do more. But it really pisses me off that the government just, it doesn't do anything that it's supposed to do. We should be taking care of these people who have given the ultimate sacrifice for us. Well, Tunnel to Towers is there and that's what they do. They have Gold Star First Fallen Responder, Smart Homes and Homeless Veteran Program.

They comprise the in the line of duty programs and they're dedicated to honoring our nation's heroes and their families, engaging people in 9-11 remembrance all across the country.

They also host 80 runs, walks, and climbs a year, dozens of golf outings, all to pay for this stuff. They run the Tunnel to Towers 9-11 Institute that educates kids so they'll never forget. More than 95 cents of every dollar that you might donate to Tunnel to Towers goes directly to the program. Never forget the sacrifices of our country's greatest heroes. Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org. That's T2T.org.

10 seconds, station ID. So, Charlie, we were talking about what, you know, why Trump won. Why did Kamala lose?

Well, that's interesting. I mean, and again, I will say that the narrative should be that Trump won more than she lost. However, she was unable to do the basic, as we say, long form podcasting. She misread the room. And I think a really interesting story that needs to be explored is where did all the money go?

This is the best funded campaign in history, a billion dollars, now $20 million in debt. And I have a personal ax to grind here because we were one of the groups that the media was setting up to fail. Okay, let's just be honest. There were so many articles written in the last couple of months

Trump team takes big risk outsourcing G.O.T.V. to Turning Point and Elon Musk. You probably saw the stories, right, Glenn? Yeah, I did. Every major outlet. And they were setting us up to fail. And we would get on the phone with these reporters and we'd say, hey, you know, we're doing real things. Maybe you guys should be more nuanced. They say, well, the Kamala team has the most sophisticated get out the vote operation ever. And this ground game and they're knocking on tens of millions of doors. And we tell them. And this was true. I said, never conflate results and activity.

The Kamala team was doing a lot of activity, but they weren't producing results. So the Kamala ground game was completely overrated. Somebody made a lot of money and misled a lot of people and a lot of Democrat donors. But let's just be honest on the issue. Let's just also on the issues, though, is that Kamala Harris and the entire regime, they were trying to continue to occupy a country that they resent.

And that, as a basic operating formula, is an almost impossible way to hold on to political power. You can't continue to govern a country when you disdain the people that you are tasked to oversee. And I mean, we can go one example. I'm sure you've covered that on this on your show. But Star County, Texas, which has not voted Republican in over 100 years, the most Hispanic county in America, Donald Trump won.

I mean, there was this multiracial reckoning against the Democrat Party. Young, old, black, Hispanic. And finally, Kamala Harris and her entire team, they did everything they possibly could to not defend their own positions, but try to make it a referendum on Donald Trump. Now, Donald Trump received quite a gift.

He received a gift because for the first time since Grover Cleveland, he was able to embrace the advantages of being an incumbent and the advantages of being a challenger. So think about it. He could say how great my record was and how terrible the person currently in office is.

if you think about that analytically almost impossible if they do not read it impossible to beat that because you can see you could be incredibly on you could be very very critical so that when you point people would like and politics at the same time you can also have a sterling record to run on but not just hypotheticals

And so Donald Trump leaned into the best of all circumstances being a challenger and also an incumbent. And yeah, and also, I mean, Kamala Harris didn't have a primary. That's another thing that I said is don't when you when you try to implement a candidate without a primary, don't assume that all the Democrats are going to support you. I have many other thoughts on this, Glenn, but well, I've got I've got just about 30 seconds here before a break. So a good time to just take a breath. I do want to go back to that.

But I also want to go back to Hispanics because they have alienated themselves with everybody. Now they're talking about how Hispanics are anti-black and I've heard black are anti-Hispanics. I mean, they're just...

They're at war with themselves. I don't know how they come back from this, but, you know, vampires, you always think are dead, but they come back. More with Charlie Kirk in a minute.

Glenn Beck. Hey, I want to tell you about Legacy Box. Legacy Box is really something that is just so fantastic. I had a Legacy Box at home. One of my relatives just passed away, went to the house, got all of these pictures from the family. And everybody's like, no, you can't take these because we have to have them back. And I'm like, trust me, trust me, trust me. It'll all be fine.

Send them a legacy box. Have them back. They're completely safe. I'm returning them to the family this week. This is the way to take care of your family's history. I learned stuff looking through that box, pictures I'd never seen before. I learned about my family three generations back that I just didn't even know.

Welcome back to Charlie Kirk on the Glenn Beck program. Charlie, we were just talking about the Hispanics and blacks and how there has been a massive movement away from the Democratic Party and it's only the beginning. We had kind of a 1960s realignment here where all of a sudden the Republicans who were the guys fighting for civil rights all of a sudden lost strangely to the

to the guy who actually stopped the civil rights movement in the 50s, you know, Johnson. And the whole thing switched. And it was weird.

This time I could explain the switch, but it looks like it is, it's moving and we've switched places. We are the, we're the little guy. We are the ones for the civil rights. We're against all of this corruption and the collusion with Washington and business. I mean, I feel like we are on the right side of, of history here, but when it comes to the Hispanics and blacks, how much of this is Donald Trump and how much of this is,

Can, let's say, candidate J.D. Vance hold in the next four years? What are we going to do to be able to grow that?

So a couple of things. First of all, I think it's really promising because this election actually showed that there's a de-emphasis on racial identity when you think of when you vote. And I think that's all. Yes, I think we we've always wanted that. And we are now getting closer to that more perfect union, despite the Democrats best attempts. I really don't care about your skin color. That doesn't tell me anything about you. I care about your character. I care about your agency. I care about your track record. And obviously, you know, Glenn, that's our whole worldview.

Voters are actually voting much more based on their values and their class than on their race. And that is really dangerous for the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party's entire big bet is that the melanin content in your skin, how you look, and your race should dictate and determine what allegiance to the political party. And of course, we've always said that's racist, and it is, that it's prejudice, that it is. And it's also just so

so shallow and it's not who you are as a human being. And what the Republican party has now successfully done. And I hope we stay this way is we now we've completely de-emphasized race. We now have an emphasis on merit and on character.

And we're getting closer to that vision. Now, mind you, four years ago, we weren't. Four years ago, we were going in the wrong direction. But the Democrats really revealed the darkest possible elements of a race-obsessed country. And a race-obsessed country, as we saw in 2020, is nasty. It's

cruel, it's bitter, it's driven of revenge against white people, it's elevating criteria and characteristics that are completely irrelevant. And the American people, one of the things that was quietly and silently on the ballot is a refutation of all of this race obsession.

uh... in critical race theory de facto diversity equity inclusion and an elevation of merit uh... donald trump set up every single rally we're gonna bring merit back i will not have left the r_t_ in the schools i will not let you know the uh... diverse deck inclusion schools we're not gonna let it happen and so the democrat party now has a lot of reckoning to answer your question i think it's we aren't we are if we do our job we can now make that a permanent realignment

And the smart people in the media are saying, okay, this wasn't just an election. This was a realignment. I'm sure you saw that New York Times map where you see it, except for like three counties in Utah that went a little more liberal. Which is weird. Yeah, by the way, that's something that we're actually going to, at Turning Point, spend some more money and time and staff on Utah because that could be a problem in about five years because I don't like that at all. They have moved in from California and they are destroying the lifestyle there. Yeah.

Yeah. And so that's that's going to be kind of a we need to we need to play that. We need to get ahead of that before it becomes a problem. Anyway, I digress that almost every county in the country became redder, almost every single county. And and again, part of that is Donald Trump. But it's bigger than that. It was a message. It was a message that we do not want the current ruling orthodoxy to continue.

So I feel like I felt because the first president I ever voted for was Ronald Reagan. And I feel like I felt when Ronald Reagan took his second term, you knew what he had done and what could be done. And it it was morning in America. And I feel that excitement again. But let me ask you.

These guys are not going to roll over and die. I mean, I'm hoping one of the first things is we get out of the Paris Accords again and we get rid of all of this World Economic Forum garbage. But we have, what, 69 days before he puts his hand on the Bible. I have been so concerned about his safety, the safety of our cities and lawfare. Are we out of the woods here?

No, we are not. I will say, though, that the beauty of the electoral college, I actually think, keeps Donald Trump safe. So hear me out. We actually Donald Trump has not been elected for anything yet. 312 people were just elected. And those 312 people are going to be safe no matter what.

And so meaning that even if they try to go after Donald Trump, there's still 312 people that are going to meet in December and that are going to give a mandate for a Republican conservative presidency. And I think that actually keeps Donald Trump safer. He now has a presidential detail of the highest possible order, which is amazing. I can now compare and contrast. I'm actually going to Mar-a-Lago right after this.

completely different, right? I mean, it's night and day difference. The lawfare stuff is not completely over. And I will say this as somebody who's, you know, helping out with transition and doing everything we possibly can, that the most important appointment that is coming is who will he choose as attorney general of the United States?

That right there will set the tone for the entire presidency from lawfare, from the investigations, from the weaponization of the FBI. And then also, Glenn, I will push with every fiber of my being for your blazed journalist to get a full pardon and this entire show trial of him to get dropped. Thank you. It's craziness. It is crazy. And I can't remember his name, but he's phenomenal. Scott, I...

Stu, help me out. Steve Baker. Steve Baker. I keep thinking of Scott Baker. Steve Baker. No problem. It's all right. So anyway, but the point, and by the way, every nonviolent January 6th offender, I'm going to push, and President Trump has pledged, to give them full and complete pardons and commute their sentences on the nonviolent ones. I think that's a huge statement and a demoralization event for the deep state.

that spent so much of their time in their careers going after everyday Americans who did absolutely nothing wrong. And I think we have to lead with that. I think we have to push for, you know, hundreds of pardons. And I know that sounds extreme, but the pardon power is absolute. And the pardon power was given, as you know, as a hand-me-down from the king. It is one of the most absolute powers the Founding Fathers gave. And I have to imagine that

the founding fathers would smile for Donald Trump to use pardon power in the spirit of healing the country, especially after you've had an illegitimate regime go after using this bureaucracy of political dissidents. So we are not out of the woods yet, but I will tell you, and this will give your audience great encouragement. I've been on the phone. I've been sleeping like three hours a night. The amount of urgency and the amount of

The mandate that the Trump team feels is unlike anything I've seen. This is a completely different ballgame than from 2016. And everybody in Mar-a-Lago is saying, we are here to fulfill the mandate.

Yeah, I know that to be true. And I talked to him and I said, you know, can you pull this off in four years? And he laughed at me. He went, four years? I have 100 days. Glenn, if I don't get this done in 100 days, we're not getting it done. By the way, a name he should consider for AG is Eric Schmidt from Missouri. He's now a senator, and I don't want to lose him in the Senate. But boy, is that guy tough as nails, just tough as nails. Mike Lee would be great, too.

Mike Lee would be great, but he would make a great replacement for somebody like Clarence Thomas, quite honestly. The Senate, as we're talking about Mike Lee...

uh, I don't know if you saw this, but, uh, Thune just came out yesterday and said, you know, for his own good, Donald Trump should stay out of this, uh, Senate race. And I thought, well, okay, well, you just signed your own death warrant. Um, but, uh, uh, you know, Cornyn and Thune, that is business as usual. If we don't have somebody who, uh,

I mean, do you think he'll put his thumb on the scale and come out for Rick Scott? Well, let me tell you the Charlie Kirk plan, which is now going public. Sooner-Cornyn is almost assuredly going to win. John Adams presided over the U.S. Senate as Senate Majority Leader 200 years ago as Vice President of the United States. So I think J.D. Vance should be President of the Senate and become Senate Majority Leader.

And he would I am in love with that. I am in love with that. I said that just the other day. I didn't know if anybody, you know, if that, you know, it was possible with J.D., but he would be fantastic. Does he get credit? Yeah, go ahead. I'm sorry. Does he get does he get the access to the Senate GOP funds?

Huh? Yes. So, yeah, let me build out how this would work. So essentially, the Constitution says that the vice president is the president of the Senate, highest ranking officer. And when he sits in the chair, that's the way it is. There is no question about it. This is, again, Senator Mike Lee came up with this. This is a 1 a.m. phone call from Senator Mike Lee last night. And he hadn't yet. Hello. Hello.

And he has me at a low every time. Yeah. Now, mind you, J.D. would have to really want it in the sense that it would be a ton of monotonous. He had to sit in the chair and listen to procedure stuff and he'd have to go to the Senate lunches. However, he would basically be able to be the president of the Senate and set the entire tone of legislative agenda. Now, as far as the political stuff that that.

yes and no. I mean, he could create his own. He could do, you know, he could, they could hand him the Senate leadership fund. But basically, if you're the president of the Senate, then everyone looks to you and then you get to determine who's on committees, which of course, you know, there's a lot of power in that. Now, mind you, this would completely change the game in Washington.

I have not had anybody tell me it's a bad idea. Now, mind you, John C. Calhoun tried to exhibit his power back, as you know, in the 1950s as president of the Senate and was actually shot down. So there has been some trimming of the power of the president of the Senate. However, in the Senate rules, it says the highest ranking officer is

And that's the president of the Senate, which is the VP. This power has never been exercised, tried or tested. Considering the mandate and considering that we only have a Senate majority, thanks to Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, it's not as if like the Senate candidates did better than Trump. The opposite is truth, actually. Trump did way better. And they're only there because of coattails of Trump, you know, from Sheehy to Moreno to McCormick.

that's your majority right there. So that's my, that's my push. I don't know if it's going to happen, but I would love to see JD Vance. I think that is fantastic. And the other thing it would do, JD Vance would be seen actually doing things. He would be seen as the leader that I think he is. I think that was, I think that's one of the best picks that Donald Trump has ever made.

myself, but we'll see. Charlie, thank you. I want you to know that

When I first started talking about progressivism and people were like, why are you talking about Woodrow Wilson? And I taught, and then we started with the Tea Party and the 9-12 Project and everything else. And I really thought we were going to change the world. And David Barton, a good friend of mine, said, Glenn, you know it's not our generation that's going to do it. And I'm like, what do you mean? We got momentum. We got to do it. And he said, no, it'll be like in the founding era.

They were those who taught, and then they taught the younger generation, and then that younger generation taught the next generation with adding their stuff. And he said, it was that generation that saved America. I want you to know, you're going to come time when you are old and gray and white-haired like I am, and you're going to go, I wonder if I really made any difference today.

The generation that is coming up, Generation Z, is going to be the one that changes our country. They're the hero generation. And you have played such an important role in the saving of our country. Don't ever, ever forget that. You pulled off a Herculean event. You really did.

Well, praise God. And Glenn, thank you for the kind words. And you know that you were one of the original people that formed my worldview and gave me the why behind the what. And so, Glenn, you have and do play a big role. And God bless you. And there's still work yet to be done. But glory to God. All right. I guess I'm on your show in about an hour. So I'll talk to you again. Thanks a lot, Charlie. See you then. Thanks, man. Bye-bye. You bet. Charlie Kirk, Relief Factor. I got to tell you, I am...
