Glenn Beck认为那些将凶手塑造成罗宾汉的人是支持马克思主义思想的,并认为这种做法令人不安。他认为凶手体现了马克思主义的思想,其支持者也持有类似的马克思主义理念。他谴责了政府与医疗保健行业之间的密切合作,并认为应该谴责政府与医疗保健行业之间的密切合作,而非仅仅关注凶手。他还批评了吉米·金梅尔等媒体人物纵容了暴力行为,并指出美国人往往对问题采取容忍的态度,不愿改变现状。他认为马克思主义者利用了人们对医药公司和医疗行业的失望情绪,并宣称只有马克思主义者才会在街上枪杀富人和有权势的人。他还认为罗宾汉的故事并非简单的劫富济贫,而是反抗腐败政府的象征。 Pat Gray认为大多数美国人对现有的医疗保健系统感到满意,并指出美国医疗保健支出最高,但预期寿命却排名第42位。他认为左派将凶手描绘成一个为人民而战的英雄形象,并认为凶手是一个被左翼医疗保健论调误导的傻瓜。他还指出左翼人士应该支持RFK Jr.,因为他揭露了医药公司和政府之间的勾结,并认为民主党人正在阻挠医疗保健改革。 Rabbi Daniel Lapin认为人类无法很好地应对极端之间的突然变化,这在生理和精神上都是不利的。他认为性是生命的终极表达,而死亡则与之形成鲜明对比。他解释了为什么《托拉》禁止在月经期间发生性行为,以及为什么禁止与死者进行精神上的交流。他认为将性与暴力结合在一起是邪恶的,并指出莎士比亚也表达了类似的观点。 Glenn Beck: ...[每位发言人至少200字]

Deep Dive

Key Insights

Why are some people sympathizing with the man accused of murdering the UnitedHealthcare CEO?

Some people are sympathizing with the accused because they view him as a modern-day Robin Hood, someone who took from the rich to give to the poor. This perception stems from a misunderstanding of the Robin Hood story, which was actually anti-Marxist and anti-government control.

What is the real story of Robin Hood?

The story of Robin Hood was about a corrupt government (the sheriff, king, and nobles) taking from the poor. Robin Hood stole from the corrupt government and gave back to the people, making it an anti-Marxist and anti-fascist tale.

Why do some people hate America's healthcare system?

People hate the healthcare system because it is heavily influenced by Marxist ideas and big government control. The system is designed to make people dependent on the government, which is a core tenet of Marxism.

What is the connection between Marxism and the murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO?

The accused murderer embodies Marxist ideology, which calls for the violent overthrow of the bourgeoisie (the rich and powerful). Marxists believe in dragging the rich out into the streets and killing them, which is reflected in the actions of the accused.

Why did the accused murderer target the UnitedHealthcare CEO?

The accused believed that the healthcare system was corrupt and that the CEO represented the capitalist system he despised. His actions were driven by a Marxist ideology that views capitalism as a poison.

What is the significance of the drones flying over the East Coast?

The drones are a mystery, with some speculating they could be from Iran or a foreign adversary. However, the government claims they are not a threat and has not provided clear answers about their origin or purpose.

Why is the government's response to the drone situation concerning?

The government's response is concerning because they claim they don't know the origin of the drones, yet they are not taking aggressive action to track or neutralize them. This lack of effort raises questions about whether they are hiding the truth.

What does Brian Bergen, a New Jersey assemblyman, think about the drone situation?

Brian Bergen is frustrated with the government's lack of effort to identify the drones. He believes that if the drones are a threat, they should be followed and neutralized, but the authorities are not doing enough to address the issue.

What is Mitch McConnell's role in opposing Trump's agenda?

Mitch McConnell is actively working to undermine Trump's agenda by blocking efforts to reduce funding for foreign wars and supporting policies that align with the deep state. He is using his influence in the Senate to obstruct Trump's plans.

Why is Mitch McConnell unpopular among Americans?

Mitch McConnell is unpopular because he is seen as a symbol of the deep state and a roadblock to meaningful change. His actions often contradict the will of the American people, making him deeply disliked.

What is the significance of the mixing of sex and death in society?

The mixing of sex and death is seen as a deeply disturbing and evil act because it combines the ultimate expression of life (sex) with the ultimate expression of death. This combination is unnatural and goes against human instincts.

What does Rabbi Daniel Lapin say about the connection between sex and violence?

Rabbi Daniel Lapin argues that sex and violence are intrinsically linked in the masculine instinct. Without the ennobling context of family and virtue, these instincts can lead to gangsterism and a focus on violence and sex.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck Program. Well, hello, you sick freak. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. I think I'm going to try one more day of being nice to the Marxists that seemingly all want CEOs to die. We're going to start once again in a very nice way.

or maybe I think I can last 45 seconds and talk about the people who are making this killer, who on this program will remain nameless, who are making him into Robin Hood.

or some sort of sex god which is wildly disturbing and stems right from Baal worship in the Old Testament of mixing death with sex. I don't know if I can make it 45 seconds. Give me 60 and then we'll start.

You know, I really didn't think that we would have to start here, but America seems to be thirsty for blood. Now, I want to talk about those people who I believe are in the vast minority that are overjoyed, just, I don't know, all just hepped up on the lust of this guy.

I mean, this is blood lust. What's going on? The guy who killed the UnitedHealthcare CEO, whose name should stop. People need to stop saying his name. Stop making him into a well-known hero or even a well-known individual. Stop saying his name. He's doing more damage.

And the press who we won't say the name of any shooter, unless, of course, they're a conservative or they're a complete Marxist. And that is exactly what we're talking about here. I don't care what his ideology is. I don't care. You know, he took a picture in front of a Trump sign. I could give a flying crap. He is the embodiment of Marxism.

And you'll notice that all of the supporters are all of the supporters of all of the deep Marxist ideas. Marx was the one who was saying to people, go in, get the bourgeoisie, drag them out in the street and kill them.

This is a prediction you remember I made on Fox years ago. Many times, yeah. Yeah, and the first time I said it, it was out of frustration because I was watching the media hold these people up, and I said, are you out of your minds? You think they're going to think you're a friend? They're using you, and they will pull you out of your cute little anchor seat, and they'll pull you into the streets of New York and beat you to death.

And that's exactly who they are. Now, let me start here. How many people do you know? Plus, how many people do you know because the death count was on the news every day, the death count of COVID? How many people do you know personally and just through facts of the United States died because of COVID? Whose fault was that?

I will tell you, it was the fault of Fauci, Peter, was it not Peter Strzok? It was Eco Alliance. It was China. It was the Wuhan lab. It was big, deep, secret science. It was our federal government. And it was the healthcare industry. Some, some.

We now know that they knew that this vaccine wasn't effective. We now know they made up many things. How many people had a grandparent die where they had to watch them die on FaceTime or standing outside of the nursing home with them not even understanding why you couldn't come in? How many people...

died because we followed what the government was telling us to do and the government was in bed with these giant pharmaceutical companies and the teachers unions. Now, out of all of those people that lost a loved one and has every reason to be pissed, how many of them that you know or you have read about

picked up a gun and killed somebody in the government or Fauci or the United Healthcare people? How many do you know? Remember, we're talking about people who know they've been betrayed by their government or these healthcare industry or the big pharmaceutical. They know they've been betrayed. Their families. Did anybody go after the governor of New York?

Who knowingly put sick people into the nursing homes and killed how many, Stu? Arguably thousands. Thousands. Okay. Do you know why they didn't pick up a gun? Because that is not American. That's not the way we do things here. That's the way they do things in Marxist countries. And when those kinds of people get in power, then...

Government becomes force and a fire. And then the officials just tell you, see if this sounds familiar, just tells you exactly what to do and what to believe. And if you don't, they'll drag you out into the street. They'll discredit you. They'll make sure you can't work. And at the end, if you still won't comply, they'll beat you to death in the street to teach everybody else a lesson. That's who this guy is.

That's who this guy is. That's what he wants. That's what everybody who is standing up now saying, well, I don't agree with murder, but they should be afraid. No one in a civil society should be afraid other than afraid for justice. They should be afraid of being exposed and the police coming to pick them up if they broke the law.

The reason why we have vigilante justice is because, why? Why? They're making him into Robin Hood. What's the story of Robin Hood? What is it? Oh, he stole from the rich.

and gave it to the poor. No, that's not the story of Robin Hood. The story of Robin Hood was the sheriff and the king and the nobles, i.e., the government at the time, was taking everything from the poor and feasting on it. They were robbing the poor because they controlled all of the laws.

Robin Hood took the money back from those guys, from the corrupt government, and gave it to the people. That's a story I think I'd like to make very well known that that's an anti-Marxism story. That's an anti-fascist story. That's an anti-huge-government-controls-everything story.

People are calling him Robin Hood. He's not Robin Hood. He wasn't a good guy. Who did he help? Do you know what happens when people are afraid and they're already in bed with big government? This is the largest public-private partnership probably ever in the history of the world. Our healthcare industry with the United States government. You want to be mad at somebody? Be mad at the government that they won't let the healthcare industry go.

carry insurance across state lines. There's all kinds of things that could be done to make sure that our health care privately actually works. But because we've had so many damn Marxist and big government people in, they've made all these rules so it falls apart. Why? So they can jam you into something where you become beholden to them.

This is remarkable that there are so many, and I'm glad we're knowing who they are. I really am glad. I'm glad they're exposing themselves. Jimmy Kimmel, what Jimmy Kimmel did last night. I mean, I didn't need any more information on Jimmy Kimmel to know who he was, but we now know he's a guy that will preach against violence.

will preach against people who believe in the Constitution and the rule of law, say they are violent, and then come out and hold up vigilante squads and encourage it and laugh at it and make it famous. Here's what Americans do. Americans see a problem and they tolerate it. Unfortunately, they tolerate it, usually way too long.

But nobody likes to step into the unknown. Nobody likes that. You don't like that. If I said, hey, you know, here's some facts that will make you completely change and make you a liberal. And I actually had facts, which don't exist, that would make you into a progressive or a socialist.

Even if I could make that point, most people wouldn't do it. And I could say that about anything. Let me change your religion, your belief. I can prove to you that God doesn't exist. Just say, I could prove to you, which I can't, that God doesn't exist or he does exist. Most people won't go there because it's uncomfortable and foreign. They know that they would have to change everything in their life.

That's why people come to Jesus usually only when they're on their knees, because they have no other option than to change. That's why rich people don't, you know, you don't see the rich people say, you know what, I think I should have some missionaries over and talk to them about Jesus, because their life is fine. What's happening here is we have Marxists praying for

on the people who have been shafted or have felt shafted. And I have news for you. Everyone in this audience has felt shafted by the pharmaceutical companies or the healthcare industry. Everybody. I do. Everybody feels it, one way or another. One reason is because they've made it now. The Marxists have a right now

You have a right to all of it. Well, you don't, but that's beside the point. The government has made it almost impossible for you to actually find ways to make it less expensive. And then the government partnered with these guys, and so they're all in bed with each other, so there's no cop to run to. Well, we ran to a cop because that's what Americans do.

We ran to the cop after we take it and take it and take it. We finally get up off our butts and enough of us go to the ballot box and say enough is enough. That's why I'm so excited about cash Patel. Let me finish this here in one minute. You ever think about going back to that time so long ago when you weren't dealing with pain every day, remember how easy it was to love life when you felt good.

If you live in pain, here's a chance to get your life back. And let me say, this is something that I love doing commercials for Relief Factor because they tell you out front, it doesn't work for everybody. About 70% of the people who try it for three weeks and take it as directed, they find a difference in their life. 30% don't. That's why they give you the discount of $19.95 to try their three-week quick start.

So,

Here's how Americans deal with things. We went to the polls and we voted for Donald Trump, right? We voted for Donald Trump. Why did we vote for Donald Trump this time? It was different than when we voted for him in 2020. We were voting against Trump.

the corruption in Washington, but we didn't even understand the corruption like we do now. Thank God he wasn't elected in 2020 because now we have a completely different understanding and we have people from all walks of life joining this movement now going, this has got to stop.

So the reason why I'm so excited for Kash Patel, Vivek Ramaswamy, Elon Musk is because I know those guys are going to expose it all. Now, they may never see justice because, you know, yesterday Biden did more pardons than any president ever in the history of pardons. And he's talking about pardoning people like Fauci. Pardoning him for what? He said he wasn't a criminal.

I don't want him to go to jail or anything else if he didn't break the law. All I want is the truth. That's all you should want. If these guys in the health care industry or pharmaceuticals or the NIH or whatever, as we're talking about the COVID stuff, I just want the truth. In fact, I'll go so far. If he pardons Fauci.

I want the truth about Fauci known, if it is the truth, if we can expose all of the stuff and shows what we believe today it says that he knew and he was covering up. I just want it exposed because I don't want him to have his good name for the rest of his life. People should know he knew and obstructed

He knew and falsified information. He knew and covered up while millions died. That should be known. Do I want somebody to shoot him in the street? Absolutely not. Do I want people to know who he is based on facts, even if the president pardons him and he can never go to jail? I'd rather have him tried and go to jail.

but I at least want it exposed. That's what you voted for. You want the healthcare system to be fixed? That's what you voted for. You want change? Believe me, change is coming. Only Marxists, only Marxists want to gun people down in the streets.

and say, get them. They're rich. They're powerful. They're rich. Did I mention they're rich and they're powerful? Kill them. Only Marxist Americans do not do that. Glenn Beck.

We, quite frankly, do what we just did. Now, half the world is poised to use gold-backed currencies. The BRIC nations are moving towards it in an effort to unseat the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. Texas is trying to do the same thing. Kevin was on yesterday. How many states did he say? 30?

20 or 30 are moving towards gold black currencies, state gold back currencies. This is so important. Gold is going to be returned to because all of this is going to be exposed as the game. It is all of these people who have enriched themselves on printing of money. Those days are coming to an end. It's, it's, it's, it's mathematics. Don't let yourself be dragged into that.

Lear Capital. I want you to call them today. They have thousands of five-star reviews, 24-hour risk-free purchase guarantee, and a free wealth protection guide. You've worked your whole life to save your money so you could retire. Back it up with gold. Call them now. 800-957-GOLD. 800-957-GOLD.

Home for Christmas, new Christmas album by Cheyenne Grace, Glenn's daughter, produced by Glenn Beck, available wherever you stream your music or at glennbeckchristmas.com. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. And help yourself.

We have Pat Gray joining us from Pat Gray Unleashed and Stuber Gear. I just kind of did a rant on the shooter whose name shall not be mentioned on this program and should not be printed by the Blaze or anybody else. Stop making this guy into a hero. But, you know, this is another rich, spoiled kid.

who thinks he's going to change the world and he uses Marxist techniques. I don't care if he was not technically a Marxist or whatever. That's what he's doing. Show me your actions and I'll tell you, I can pretty much figure out what you believe. If you believe shooting CEOs and you believe capitalism is a poison, no.

I think I could put you in the right category, Pat. Yeah, and it's amazing to watch the left play.

praise him and deify him and fawn over him and drool over him and... Well, have you seen his abs? It's embarrassing. I have seen his abs. Okay, all right. I have. Are you sure? Yeah, you can't help but because they're everywhere. The Jimmy Kimmel thing is just obscene. Oh, man. That one's bad. The one we played yesterday on CNN when they're like, oh, get rid of that banner so he can see his abs. Incredible. That is...

Really cringy. And it's just another indication of what a death cult the left is. Yes, it is. They're just a massive death cult. They don't care about human life. Do you remember when we talked to Rabbi Lappin? I've been trying to remember all day the direct story, but there is a commandment. We should see if we can get Rabbi Lappin on the phone today. There's a commandment or something that in Hebrew, it talks about the mixing of death and

And life. Maybe it's milk and meat. I can't remember. But it's, I'm sorry. No, no, no. It's not. It's nothing. There's a couple things mixed. No. It's death and sex. Oh. Okay. That is, whenever you watch this in a movie where somebody's getting turned on by killing somebody, the reason why that's so innately disturbing is because it's one of the heights of evil.

You're taking the creation at the same time you're killing. Okay? Right. And that's really kind of what this story is. This is literally blood lust. That's what this is. It really is. Can I take a moment, though? Yeah. Push back a little bit.

on the assumption that our healthcare system sucks by everybody. I don't think it does. No, it doesn't. It just doesn't. I have UnitedHealthcare. It's been great. They haven't turned down a single procedure that I can think of. Yep. Is that who we have here? Yeah, that's who I have. Oh, they're great. Is that what you guys have? Yeah. It's been great. And Sarah? Never had a problem with it. You have a problem with it?

I have Blue Cross Blue Shield, so it's different. I do have a problem, but yeah. Yeah, you may as well. There's a bunch of different ones. Well, I have. Probably. Which one does the company offer? My company.

I guess they're all different. Pete's health insurance. Oh, yeah. There's a guy in a clown costume and a knife, and you go down there, he cuts things out of you. He's been great. He approves everything when you get a hold of him. He's just hard. He doesn't have a car phone. Well, he has the giant car phone, and it's too big for his head, and he can't get to the mountain. But he's in the van under the overpass on I-35. I agree. Yeah.

If you look at, go get cancer treated in Canada. Yeah, good luck with that. Good luck with that. By the way, you know, we think of things that we disagree with. Like, there's things that are divisive in this country. Abortion, for example. Like, yeah, you got one of those 50-50 issues. There's a lot of them. 81% of Americans are happy with their health care.

81%. And I bet that's down since Obamacare. Obamacare does drag it down. It's the worst part of the... It's the lowest percentage. And what is that? Let me just remind everybody. That is the public-private partnership between the government and the healthcare industry. That's what that is. And it's got the lowest approval rating of any health insurance in America. So...

Not a surprise. That's not true. We just didn't do it right. You know, and I will say one of the things that was most frustrating to me about hearing the fallout of this, you guys probably saw some of his manifesto that he wrote. There's been bits and pieces. I don't want to go into too much of it, but like there's some version of this in my head when it happened where you have this

person and this is what the left kind of has of this guy like this guy who's you know he he studied and he worked and he looked at the health care system and and he fought it and they denied his claims and he couldn't stand it anymore and he stood up and he took a stand for the people no this guy's just an idiot

Okay, in day one of healthcare argument school is the point, did you know that we pay the most in health insurance and we're only 42nd in life expectancy?

It is like the most basic argument in the argument. It's the first thing you see when you walk through the college of healthcare arguing school. And that is what he put in there. Like, that's his point. And he's like, and he even says in there, I'm not really the best person to argue this, but you know who is Michael Moore? Who?

First of all, first of all, no, he's not. Second of all, can you imagine a manifesto written with, I'm not the best person to argue this. We know who is Glenn Beck. Can you imagine what the news headlines would be? Oh, I know. It'd be all Michael Moore. There'd be thousands of people outside the door protesting. Yes. There'd be death threats. You'd be on every, you'd be the top of every. I'd be off the air today. Off the, well, I believe iHeart would stand behind us, but.

Yeah, you know what? I think you're right. Especially with a new administration coming in. But I will guarantee you'd lead every single news broadcast. Michael Moore, they are putting him on. You know what they're saying? Well, what did you mean about your health care critiques? Go through them again.

imagine? Oh my gosh. And so, and it's that dumb thing where if you look at, there are a thousand different ways to go through that. We've been through them. You wrote a book with a chapter that went through all of the things picking this apart. But like,

Of course, the reason for that statistic is, number one, car accidents. We drive a lot more than people in other developed nations. A lot more people die. There's things like violence in cities. There's things like we're all fat.

We're fat. We're lazy. We have lots of money. We're fat. We also, and this is shown all over the world, when you get to a certain amount of wealth, you start taking more, you spend more of your money on healthcare. The society demands it all over the world. Luxembourg spends twice as much as Spain and they have basically the same health expectancy, life expectancy. Why? Well, because at some point, you know, you're throwing money and you're just trying to get a few extra days. Like the returns are not as good as you get up in that curve.

But like there's, you know, opioids are a big part of this drug. There are all sorts of issues, accidents. But like when you get to the point when you're talking about the health, these are not health care issues. You driving 85 miles an hour getting hit by a Dodge Challenger is not a health care system issue.

I don't know. I can make a case against Dodge with a good attorney. If I can get a good attorney, I could. You could. So anyway, this is just like, it's basic stuff. And so he wasn't even like a smart villain slash thirst trap, whatever they're doing with him right now. That bizarre thing that they're just glorifying this guy. He's just a moron who read like four tweets and watched a dumb Michael Moore movie. And this poor guy paid for it with his life.

So look, go ahead. And his family's incredibly wealthy. That's what I was going to say. I want to bring up his family. It's not like he couldn't afford health care. And we all know he apparently had some kind of chronic back pain.

Oh. And that drove him to kill. Oh. Pat. You don't understand the amount of people I've murdered over the years because of my back pain. When I first met Pat in 1989, no, 1988 maybe, we first met the first year. Pat had to do his part of the show from his bed for what, three months? Yeah, it was about, yeah, two, three months. Two, three months. Okay.

And he's never had relief from his back pain since. In 35 years. Okay? It's so crippling, I feel like a baby every time I go, ouch.

And I hurt a lot, but I know I don't hurt like he does. But that's why I've killed dozens of people over the years. And it's justified. It's justified. Well, I didn't believe it was at first, but then he did say, owie, owie, owie, owie several times. And then I was like, oh, it's bad. Now it's understandable. They had it coming. They had it coming. And the only thing we know about his health care, by the way, is that the UnitedHealthcare did cover his claims. I know. He actually wrote about it on Reddit that...

That they did cover his claims for some... Oh, my gosh. It was a different ailment. But he got the surgery. I don't know. I mean, his family's very well off. It doesn't seem like he got any lack of care. It's just like... It's just... This guy was won over. Let's be clear. And this is not the fault of people who argue this. But this guy was won over by dumb left-wing healthcare arguments. Yes. That is what happened here. Now, that is not the fault of...

Michael Moore. Michael Moore. I don't care how dumb he is. It's not his fault. Or fat. I don't care how fat he is. He's very fat as well. The guy knows a lot about health care, probably because he's at the doctor's office 14 times a week because of the way he eats. But that being said, it's not his fault. No.

But that is what occurred here. This guy was won over by really dumb left-wing healthcare arguments that, and what, and these are, this is a guy who follows AOC on Twitter. This is a guy who did all this crap. If we were

The same as the left. We would be just straight out blaming them for this. But we're not. But I don't think that's the way it should be handled. And, you know, I just want to say one other thing about health care. You care about health care? If you were at all excited about RFK Jr. and everybody on the left...

Should be very excited about RFK Jr. because you agree with a lot more of what he says than I do. And he was a Democratic presidential candidate in this cycle. So...

What is he trying to do? He's trying to expose the pharmaceutical companies that are in bed with the government, the healthcare industry that is in bed with the government. He is trying to show how our food is being manipulated by big food. Okay.

And what are the Democrats doing? The Democrats are trying to pass a five year farm bill to jam it through so he can't touch anything in farm. They also are trying to pass a giant pharmaceutical bill. And I believe they did pass, didn't they? The the the the.

The extra bill to say, no, no, we're serious. Pharmaceutical companies can't be held responsible for anything. Is that the official title? Yeah. No, it's Make America Really Super Healthy Again Bill. Oh, good. But that's what they're doing. They're obstructing what you just voted for. I mean, it's not a surprise at all. But who's protecting? Who's protecting the lies that...

I'm not saying UnitedHealthcare, because if that's what I have, I have Blue Cross Blue Shield, I think. But you guys have it. And I have a problem with healthcare companies, but I'm not going to go shoot anybody, even if I had the most extreme. I would then, if I couldn't get healthcare, demand that the United States government reform its laws so there could be competition against bad healthcare companies.

Well, hello America.

So I have next hour. We're going to talk about those the drones and the mothership from Iran. Did you hear that?

I just know that it's not us, not the government. Of course. They announced it yesterday. Yeah, and they would never lie to us. No, they never have. We would never be the government. I think I have the answer for this. I'm going to give it to you next hour. I truly believe. I've been thinking about it for a few days. It absolutely makes sense. I talked to our Intel guy on our team, Jason. He's spoken to other Intel people and said,

I think we know what it is. I think we know what it is. But we're playing enormous games here right now. And if it's not us, wow, are we a joke of a country?

Hmm. We, we, we, that is right. It's, it's, I would be much more comfortable with actually we're trying some new technology and we might use it in the battlefield someday. We're just kind of flying it over America. Yeah. I would be much more confident than what they did, which was, it's not us, but it's not another country, but we don't know what it is. Huh?

What do you mean? And it's no threat. Don't worry. It's no threat. If you don't know what it is, you can't follow it. You can't follow it on radar or sonar or infrared. How do you know it's not a threat? That makes no sense. Did you hear the part of this where they said the drones followed a Coast Guard ship? Did you hear that part of the story?

And I had heard it briefly, like, okay, they kind of like, all right, who cares? I mean, it could be, who knows what it is. Then they said it was between a pack of between 13 and 30 of them did it. Wait, what? Are there pistols or even flares on a Coast Guard gun? Can we?

I mean, if we didn't, honestly, if we didn't know what it is, when it's off the shores, why wouldn't we shoot it down? Every one of them gets shot down. Every single one of them gets shot down. Or at least we attempt to shoot them down. Something's not right. We're going to get into all of that next hour. Stand by.

Red. Okay. And I thought, okay, maybe. I mean, she has a blue vote. Uh,

uh, dress that she's worn before. I don't know if you ever saw that she wore it like at a convention or something. And it's, it says vote on it. That sounds terrible. It was pretty terrible. But if you want to send a message of voting and voting blue, that's what you would wear. Right. But also you don't have to send a message up with every outfit. Amen to that. So I, I'm like, okay, maybe I think you're reading too much into it. Then, uh,

They don't talk to each other anymore. This week, all of a sudden, they're at the Kennedy Center sitting next to each other. Okay. The Bidens and the Harris's sitting next to each other. Bidens, they don't. She is sitting right next to Kamala. They don't. Kamala never turns. I mean, sorry. Biden never turns and even says hello.

doesn't look her way the entire time. Now, how do you do that? That takes effort. That takes control. Okay, so there's no love loss there. Now, here's where I'm going to prove to you they despise her and she voted against Kamala. This is what happened at the White House yesterday. She was on prompter. She was talking about Christmas.

And then she uses the word joy in her speech, and then she says this. So I hope that you all feel that sense of joy

you know, peace and light and that just for a moment when you leave here today that you feel, I don't know, a little, a sense of joy. Because I think we all need like this, you know, we all need to feel joy now during this time of the season, during, just during this time. So anyway. Okay, now I'll start. You're all reading into that. Hey.

If you're watching Blaze TV, you may have spotted what I just spotted. But play the last 10 seconds of that back if you can. And if you can't, just play the whole thing. You know, we all need to feel joy now during this time of the season. A word. Just during this time. If you're aware, you don't use at this point. But okay, she's using it. Go ahead.

Keep playing. Because I think we all need like this. You know, we all need to feel joy now during this time of the season, during just during this time. Stop. Just during this time. Not just the time of the season. Just during this time. So now she's narrowing it down to there are problems. Okay. And we should feel joy.

Well, that was the campaign slogan. There are problems, but we have joy and we're going to solve them. Now, here's where that cuts the throat. Listen to the audience. And then if you're watching Blaze TV, watch her eyes, watch her movements. It's very easy to lie, right?

But your body will always give, unless you're a great actor or actress, your body will give away the lie. Your body will not act the same way as your mouth and even your eyes. Her eyes and her body betray her here. Watch. Just during this time. So anyway. Okay, now I'll start. You're all reading into that.

She did not look at the crowd. If that's happening naturally, that would have easily been, if she didn't even think of that connection, you would have immediately looked at the crowd. Your eyes would have darted back and forth like, what am I missing? And you might have even said, what do you guys, I'm sorry, what did I say? Okay? Okay?

Her eyes didn't dart. She wasn't startled by it. She just leaned down to the microphone and said, okay, you're reading too much into that. I'm sorry. No, nope. That was intentional. That was, she despises Kamala Harris. Despises her. Disagree with that?

I could see it. I don't know that I'm as convinced as you are. I mean, joy is a word associated with the holiday season. And that's why it's fine in this season. Right. But she just seems to be just stuttering and looking around, trying to get to the end of that thing there. I don't know. I mean, I think it's possible, but it's interesting though. Like I,

I'm not a fan of Kamala Harris. You may know that. Really? Yeah. You didn't vote for her? No, no. And, you know, VeepThoughts.com. You can watch all of her greatest hits. Yeah. But, like, is she the one to get mad at for the Bidens? What did she do here? I think she feels, I think the Bidens feel that she was...

Remember, I know, I think it's the Obamas. I think it's Pelosi. Yeah, and Pelosi. Which I don't believe they've talked to Pelosi since, have they? No, I think that one's real. I think this one's real, too. I think this one's real, too. I just don't know that it makes all that much sense. Now, Kamala Harris... When have you... When?

When have the Bidens made sense? Well, that's true. That's true. I mean, he's famously just stutters his way through nonsensical jabbering. But I just feel like, you know, I will say this for Kamala Harris from the Joe Biden perspective. She she had she her opportunity to become president of the United States was to say he did a bad job.

If she would have said that, she would have had a chance at winning that election. I agree. If she would have said, look, I talked to Joe behind the scenes. I tried to get him to move on the border. He had a different vision. And what happened didn't work. So I fought and fought and fought and fought. And finally, we got those rules changed. I know it's nonsense and BS.

But he she could have taken a tack to make him. And she never did. And she never did. In fact, she went on The View and said she couldn't think of anything that she would have changed in the entire administration. Because that's also true. She couldn't think of anything. It is true. But that's not what does that have to do with anything? I don't know.

I'm just saying that. You're forgetting on that particular one, you're forgetting how stupid she is. Well, okay. Okay. That could be it. But again, if she's just, you know, whatever the reason is, she didn't go to after the 25th Amendment. She didn't leak to the media that he was having these moments behind the scenes throughout three and a half years of the presidency.

I don't think there's a good case that the problem with Kamala Harris from the left perspective is that she wasn't too disloyal to Joe Biden. All right. All right. Let me let me share one of something that I've been thinking about lately on somebody I have to call and make amends to. Yeah.

Let me share a story. I don't think you even know. Okay. Okay. A bad story about me. Oh gosh. Uh, yeah. So open up the book. Do we have to add another chapter? You'll never guess where this was happening. Hide of my alcoholism in Baltimore. No way. Yeah. Yeah. Strange. All right. So, uh, this company that I was working for, um,

was playing around with our contracts and stuff. And they wanted to hire me, but I was partnered with Pat and we were best friends and we were killing it. But they just didn't want to pay Pat. And I said, I'll renew my contract if you renew Pat's contract so we can continue on. They said, fine. So they did.

Soon as we signed the contract, they just invoked the clause to pay him off.

and got rid of him and replaced him with someone else without me knowing anything about it okay I remember the outline of the story okay typical radio by the way typical radio just knife you in the back lock me in for five years and the guy who I've wanted to partner with forever yeah gone gone okay uh for no reason whatsoever and so

I'm working with my attorneys and they're like, there's not much you can do. And I'm like, oh yeah, there is. Oh, there's lots I can do. And so this guy named Larry wax came in and it was his big shot to be on, you know, Baltimore radio. And he was very excited and,

And he would say. You were not excited. No, no. And I did not participate in, you know, help plan the show. He would plan the whole show, okay, because he knew. Because I was like, I'll just follow you. So you were so angry. I was so. You were protesting essentially. Yeah, and I was like, I'll just follow you, which I've never, you know me, I've never done that. No. My name was the first in the show. Right. Larry, you go ahead and you just tell me what we're going to do. And then he'd say, okay, right before the break. Okay. So.

So we're going to end here, but I'm going to say this, then you say this, and then we'll get into this conversation about this, see where it goes. But we're ending here. Okay. He'd open up the mic and he'd say, so what'd you do last night? And I was supposed to say, I watched Netflix. And I said, I didn't do anything. I went to bed early.

And he would just look at me like, what the heck? What a jerk. Oh my gosh. I destroyed everything. And I eventually, I apologized to him. I said, Larry, this is not, I'm sorry. Cause he looked at me with these big, sad eyes. And he was like, Glenn, you're killing me, man. And I'm like,

I know, but they signed me to a five-year contract and I'm not going to be here for five years. I'm not doing it. So you're trying to get yourself fired. I'm trying to get myself fired because I didn't have an option out. And I just looked at him. Towards the end, I really felt bad. And I was like, I'm sorry, Larry. I,

I know I'm destroying your one shot. I mean, it was horrible. And I feel he's been coming to mind so much. I don't even know where he is. I don't know what happened afterwards. And I feel really, I feel like I should call him and say, Hey, Larry, please tell me you're not like in the sanitation industry. Now, please tell me that you had some success afterwards. Yeah.

In the industry. So wait, so you'd never really, you'd lost contact with the guy and never, never kind of talked this out. You'll be surprised. We didn't have a good relationship. So you were bringing that up on the Kamala Harris context. Yeah. You think that she was maybe. It doesn't matter if it was her. She was the tool. Yeah.

used to take her no matter how nice she was to him Larry was very kind to me and gracious on the air okay I was not having any of it I was never mean to him but I would never play along not helpful okay not helpful at all all right

That's what I think is happening with Kamala. First of all, she has a record of knifing her boss in the back. Totally. In fact, that is her specialty. I would say it's the one talent she has. Yes. Although, you know, knifing her boss. Some former mayors of Los Angeles have ideas of other talents. But generally speaking, the one talent she has is that behind the scenes talent.

Right. She's grass for power. But I have absolutely no evidence of that other than her history. I don't know. She seemed to be very kind and everything else and very gracious about it. But she was at least the two. She was his Larry Wax. Sorry, Larry, if you're listening. I really mean that. It's been bothering me. I'm going to try to find you. I'm sorry.

But that's what it is. That's what it is. I think you could make the argument that Biden was doing that to her the entire term. Like, he was always positive about her, but then the entire administration was leaking negative things about Kamala for three and a half years. I don't know, though, that that was necessarily him. I think, I mean, all the stories were everyone hates.

Everyone around her or everyone in her office hates her. Okay. So I don't know if that was necessarily Joe Biden going, let's come up with some bad. I just think everybody hated her. Like,

She's a nightmare. Now, he did set her up on things like you're the border czar. Yeah. I mean, he's so. Oh, yeah. Again, she's terrible and never really had a chance at success in her political career. But I will say, like, you know, he didn't help. Now, you might be asking yourself, why are you guys debating this? Because in about six months.

No one will remember her name.

So if we're going to talk about it, we've got to talk about it right now. And we're already there with Tim Walsh, which I love. Oh, yeah. We've already forgotten him. Oh, so fantastic. Unless you happen to live in Minnesota. Yeah. And you're remembering it going, what did I do? Anyway, let me tell you about Mantis X. If you're a gun owner, there's nothing quite as satisfying as hearing that ping when you fire at a metal target or hitting where you are aiming on a paper target.

This about the drones in New Jersey. You know I'm also on the Transportation Committee on the Aviation Subcommittee and I've gotten to know people and from very high sources, very qualified sources, very responsible sources, I'm going to tell you the real deal.

Iran launched a mothership probably about a month ago that contains these drones. That mothership is off, I'm going to tell you the deal. It's off the east coast of the United States of America.

They've launched drones. Everything that we can see or hear, and again, these are from high sources. I don't say this lightly. Now, you know, we know there was a probability it could have been our own government. We know it's not our own government because they would have let us know. It could have been some really glorified hobbyist or hobbyists that were doing something unbelievable. They don't have the technology.

But let's pretend that's possible. The third possibility was somebody, an adversarial country, doing this. Know that Iran made a deal with China to purchase drones, motherships, and technology in order to go forward. Now, the Pentagon came out and said that's not true. There's a state senator. You might have seen this on X last night. Here's what Doug Steinhardt said on these drones. Got 13.

The best information that we have available to us to this point suggests that these drones are coming from offshore, that when we try to make contact with them, they become evasive and elusive. You know, from my perspective, if they are American assets, if they're American military, if they're American drones, and I think we owe the American people answers or explanations. Stop now. Brian Bergen is another New Jersey assemblyman.

He drove two hours for a private meeting with the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and everybody else. This was going around last night and he left the meeting. He said it was the biggest bunch of bull crap he's ever heard. He's former military. He said, we don't know what it is. Of course we know what it is. And they gave us no information whatsoever.

He was really angry. He's joining me here in about four minutes, so stand by. I think I know what these are, but I'm not ruling out the Iran thing. I mean, a strike right now would put the world at war. I don't think so. The Pentagon said no. But do you trust the Pentagon? The problem is here, we don't trust anybody because they've all betrayed our trust.

That's why people voted on both sides for Donald Trump. Because we have to know the truth. We'll try to seek that next time.

Glenn Beck. Okay, so what actually matters to you? Family matters. Your faith matters. God matters. Living a life of integrity matters. But America matters as well. American Giant was created 13 years ago just to save one clothing factory in North Carolina so the jobs could be saved, the employees could continue to work, and the town didn't dry up. All of these towns that have good people in it, they used to make American things.

One of the reasons, one of the only reasons why I'm for tariffs is because if he can lower the taxes dramatically, especially on companies and raise these tariffs, these companies are going to move back into these factories in these towns like nobody's business. And that makes a lot of sense for America.

Just listening to it, trying it. We're very, very proud of it as a family and proud of my daughter. We're glad you like it. And thank you so much for giving it a chance. I want to bring in Brian Bergen. I saw Brian on, I think it was X yesterday. He's a New Jersey assemblyman that drove a couple of hours for this meeting with, you know, the DHS and...

you know, the FAA and everybody that should know what the heck is going on with these drones. And he walked out early. He was so flaming angry. And I wanted to get him on today. Brian, how are you? I'm doing great, Glenn. Thanks for having me, man. You bet. So why'd you walk out yesterday? What happened?

Well, so we got called down there, we being all 120 members of the state legislature of New Jersey, the assembly and the Senate, got invited to come down to this special legislator-only briefing down in the state police headquarters. And the state police was there, and the Department of Homeland Security was there, and they were supposed to tell us what's going on. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hang on just a second. So they didn't even come to you?

They said to all of the legislators instead of how many guys were speaking, 10? Less. Less than 10. Okay. All right. That's good. All right. Yeah. Yeah. So we all went there. And then the first thing that they say is this is not a classified briefing. And in fact, we could have probably let the press in. And then they just went on and said that they know nothing. And.

they have no understanding what's going on. They don't know where they're coming from, where they're going to, or who's responsible for it. And so I was just pissed that we're there to listen to such a Bush League amateur hour presentation that they could have given us by a text message. And what really got me upset was

was the primary reason why I left early, was two things. The Colonel of the State Police said that he had a helicopter of his hovering directly above one of these drones, which he called a six foot drone, but he felt unsafe for his pilots and had them land.

Ten minutes later, he says, hey, it'd be really nice to know where these things are coming from or they're going to. And I'm like, well, why did you follow the frigging thing when you had it in your sights? I mean, I have no idea why. I want the audience to know you were an Apache helicopter pilot in Iraq. You have a Bronze Star Combat Action badge, several honors. You graduated West Point.

You're not a nobody on what happens in the sky.

Right. Right. That's yeah, that's exactly right. And I mean, first of all, when he said is people are hovering above it, I was like, well, that's stupid. Who hovers above a target? You know, you want to get a standoff distance and follow it, you know, so you can use your systems to, to track it. And it was just, yes, I'm speaking from some level of experience here, but more importantly, it was just common sense. You have this thing in your sites that, you know, uh,

is potentially a threat because we don't know where it's coming from, where it's going to, where it's controlling it. And it's six feet big in the sky and you just let it go. I mean, it was mind boggling to me. And the second thing that they said that really,

sent me through the moon was the Department of Homeland Security has some device that they're going to give to the state police that will help them identify drones in the sky. And it's supposed to be pretty cool technology. It filters out birds and stuff like that. And it's supposed to be really good. Anyway, one of my colleagues said, well, when are you going to get it? And the Colonel of State Police said it should be here in a couple of days. And I was like, in my head, should be here in a couple of days. What the hell are you doing? Somebody go get in a van and

And drive it to frickin New Jersey right now. You know, I mean, Glenn, this is the level of stupidity that we're dealing with here. And that's why I was so frustrated. So let me run a couple of things by you. First, somebody came out, you know, a congressman came out yesterday and said, I've got it on good authority that it's Iran and they got a ship off Iran.

If that were true, would we not have followed these things back to the ship? Why aren't we – if they're going back over the water and they're not ours, why wouldn't we be blowing them up over the water?

Well, so that's a great question. And it was Congressman Van Drew who said that. And I think very highly of Congressman Van Drew. And he's not someone who normally says something outlandish like that. Right. In this case, you know, I rag on our state government all the time, and in this case, Homeland Security. But our U.S. Navy is a force to be reckoned with. Correct. The best in the world. Now, I'm a West Point grad. It is Army-Navy week, so I hope we beat the hell out of Navy this weekend. But I got...

I got to give them some respect. They would not allow an Iranian ship of any kind to get close to us. I find that to be pretty unusual that that would happen. So the next thing is, if we couldn't track these things, I've been in the New Jersey and New York area. There's a lot of airplanes in the sky. And if you can't track these and you don't know where they are,

You would ground all of the planes because you don't know if they're hostile to planes. You don't know if one of them just gets into the flight path of another. There are planes everywhere in the sky. So, again, that leads me to believe you can track these and you know where they're coming from.

Yeah, I don't know all the technology available to them. What I do know is we're the United States of America, and I live in a state, New Jersey, which has a $56 billion budget. The fact that we don't have the resources available to us to figure this out is ludicrous. And you're right. There's a lot of – the concerns keep piling up.

Piling up now, one that you mentioned, what if they go dark, as the governor said? That's a danger to other aircraft that operate visual flight rules at night. There's a lot of potential issues here. Some lawmakers are calling for a shutdown of drone activity in the sky, but we don't even know who these people are, what they're doing. They're certainly not going to listen if we shut down the activity. Right.

Let's take all the guns from the good guys. Right, I got it. Yeah, right. But what we do need to do is common sense. It just needs to be an all-hands-on-deck approach. The state police, the National Guard, which can be mobilized by the governor, the Department of Homeland Security, and they need to

follow one of these suckers to wherever it goes and let's figure out who's responsible. So here's what, here's what baffles me, Brian, you get a one guy with a laser pointer in his backyard and he points it at an airplane and a pilot and the FAA tackles that guy. They, they grapple down from helicopters and make sure that never happens again. How do we, if this is some private citizen who,

or citizens doing it, how would we not know that? - You're 100% right. And that's why in the interview I had yesterday and a couple of others, I said it's a lack of effort. It has to be a lack of effort. The FBI is an amazing organization that takes down people all the time before they do all kinds of crazy stuff.

You know, they have a litany of successes that they can point to of stopping things before they happen because of their counterterrorism efforts and their intelligence efforts. Why the hell they can't find anybody responsible for this or pick up any chatters crazy? Okay, so let me give you my theory, and please, if you think it's nonsense, shoot it full of holes.

My uncle used to be in military intelligence back in the 60s and 70s. And he did all of the nuclear stuff. And when the stealth B-1 bomber came out, the wing came

Uh, he said old technology. And I said, what? And he's cause remember it was first spotted and they were like, what is that? It's a UFO. And he's like, that's been available for a while. They'll announce it to the country and they'll fly it around and then people will speculate. And then they'll say, Oh yeah, we have a B one bomber. It's new. Um, I think, uh,

A good chance is we are sending someone a message or we're doing something with the, I mean, Russia just launched, you know, a hypersonic missile. It doesn't make sense that our government doesn't know what this is and can't stop it and doesn't see it as a danger. What makes sense is they're lying to us. They know what this is and it's not extraterrestrial and it's not any of that crap.

What do you think? Yeah, well, so I don't disagree with the premise that you have here. One of the things that I will say is unique to this area and where all this is happening is we have a military installation called Picatinny Arsenal. And it's very important to Picatinny Arsenal that there's good community relations there.

Because, you know, we want to maintain that here, and it's a huge resource for the Army where it's at. Any uncertainty about what's going on military-wise around here is bad for them and bad for the future of Picatinny. So they have an incentive to over-communicate when things are happening, and they often do that when they're doing testing. They over-communicate. So in this area here, it's probably unlikely that there would be anything that –

the government would want to do that would cause, you know, public concern. So then what is your, what are you left with that makes sense to you the most?

You know, to be honest, I'm not left with much. The only thing, before I went to this briefing, I would have told you it's FedEx or UPS or Amazon testing out delivery capabilities of aircraft, you know, and they want to do it at night so as not to freak people out. But then, you know, by this point, it's blown up so high you would think somebody would say something.

they would say, "Oh yeah, hey, it's us, chill out." So I really don't know. I'm legitimately concerned, and I am not a conspiracy theorist. I'm not one that jumps to conclusions, but the fact that nobody knows, and the people we're supposed to know give us no confidence-- - And you believe they don't know. You believe they don't know.

Yeah, I do. Could the CIA know? Maybe. I wasn't briefed by them, but I believe the state police and the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon do not know. I really do. And that's scary. It's equally as scary if I'm wrong. And they do know when they're doing this to us. So...

But that's the world we live in today. Yeah. It's always like, it could be this, which would mean Jesus is coming, but it could mean this, which would end with Jesus coming. Yeah, that's right, Glenn. But in this situation, this is the part that frustrates me. They can just figure it out. I don't understand. I told him, give me a platoon of men, a couple of Apache helicopters. We'll follow these frigging things, and we will figure it out for you. Somebody can get this done. They're just choosing not to do it.

I know somebody with an Apache, a private individual with an Apache helicopter. Well, let's get it over here, Glenn. I'm ready to go. A little rusty probably, but I think I can figure it out. They're probably listening right now. If you want to check in, we'll maybe line that up. Thank you so much. I love it. Appreciate it. God bless you, Brian. Thanks for having me. You bet. All right. More in just a second. New Year's right around the corner. Pretty soon 2024 will be in the rearview mirror. Thank God.

Did you ever think we would make it to 2025? No, no, no. You think we'd ever make it to 2025 and be somewhat happy? Like not like we're all going to die. I didn't. I hate this is great guys. Enjoy it. One at last because aliens are off the coast of New Jersey. Wait a minute. I've already heard that broadcast from Orson Welles. That's what's happening.

So I watched last night the Greatest Christmas Pageant Ever. Oh, yeah. You seen that? No, it was good. Okay, I'm announcing this to my friend who I...

told I wasn't going to see it beforehand and my grandkids who I said I'm going to take them Saturday so now I have to watch it three times but it's I'm glad it's really good really really good it's funny it is

It's heartbreaking. I never heard of this book. I guess it was a book in the 70s. Yeah, I didn't know it was a book either, but it was a big book apparently. Yeah, huge. And it is done so well. It's really good. If it's still in theaters, I saw it on, I don't know, Netflix or something.

I went and bought it for like, you can rent it for a dollar or no, you can rent it for $712 or you can buy it now for $44. And you're like, well, 44 is a deal. So it's on the video. I mean, Netflix doesn't do that. So it must've been video on demand. Amazon or something. Yeah. But it was, it's really good. It's really, really good. And I think it's going to be, it, it,

It felt a little like The Christmas Story, except I think done better. It's a better film than...

A Christmas story. Really? Yeah. That's my all-time favorite Christmas story. Now, you have never been a huge Christmas story fan. No, I haven't been. I haven't been. But so I say that because everyone says you look like Ralphie. I know. Which is not an insult. He's adorable. No, he is adorable. And he grew up to be an adorable adult. Yeah. And you, on the other hand. And that's a quick story.

I was told when I was in New York, I was told by my assistant, I was really slammed all the time. And she said, so-and-so's coming in. You know him. He's, he played Ralphie. And I'm like, okay, why am I meeting with him? He just wants to say hello. And so you can sit down and I'm thinking, I'm walking to my office going, what am I going to talk to Ralphie about? You know, hey, that pink. And I sit down with him and I said, so what, what have you been doing lately? And he said, well, I just finished.

producing Iron Man. And I was like, Oh, Ralphie. Oh, yeah, Ralphie. The Iron Man Ralphie. What an idiot. The Glenn Beck Program. The left would like you to think that every woman who has an abortion magically gets happier and they go out and shout their abortion, but that is absolutely not true. The new numbers that are out are just shocking and horrifying, and it's going to get worse as abortions just go into...

So every day I get a newsletter, the Beltway Brief from TheBlaze.com slash Bedford. That's how you can sign up for it. But Christopher Bedford is the writer of the Beltway Brief, and he is our Washington correspondent, and he is up on things. He wrote a story today about Mitch McConnell and his secret war on Trump.

This is not going to improve your mood much, but this is why the deep state is not just on the left. It's on the right, too. This guy is the most, I think he has the highest disapproval rating or disgust rating of any senator.

It's Mitch McConnell. Chris is on the phone with us now. Chris, welcome. It's great to be here. Thank you. Okay. Tell everybody the story.

Absolutely. So Mitch McConnell is obviously a well-known figure. He's the least popular senator in the entire country. But he's also been the longest serving leader in the Senate of any party. And he's technically given up that title to John Thune, someone who was a longtime loyalist to McConnell. But he's sticking around. And he's not just sticking around in the peripherals. He's not just on the sidelines because he wants to finish out his term with the Democratic governor.

It's because he still has a lot of power. He's going to be getting in charge of the influential Senate Rules Committee. He's going to be in charge of Senate defense appropriations. And over the last month, literally since Donald Trump's resounding win, his national vote win, his win that put him in the pantheon along with Reagan and Nixon for real massive comebacks and real ability to get there.

He's already been publicly attacking Donald Trump. He went to the AEI dinner, which is a bunch of neoconservatives and kind of part of the old right. He went there just a week after the election and announced his intention to stand for Donald Trump's foreign policy and a populist reimagining of what's really been a failed foreign policy for the United States for the last 30 years.

He gave an interview that came out yesterday saying that he's going to try and do everything he can to keep this, the money flowing towards the wars abroad, Ukraine, Syria, the Middle East, which is against what the people just voted for. But he's a shadow operator. He's not someone who needs the limelight. He's not one of those people who chases the camera. So over the last couple months and years, oftentimes you'd see other senators come forward with his fingerprints all over it.

So how do you see this playing out?

So far, usually McConnell, he's only become so powerful because he wins. You'd see an example of this when Tommy Tuberville made his brave stand against the Department of Defense and said they had to end their illegal abortion rules or he wasn't going to confirm any generals. He was attacked by all these different Republicans. The person who orchestrated that was Mitch McConnell, who eventually won.

But he has been taking a bruising recently, too. For example, he's the one who's behind James Lankford's Senate bill, which was a complete disaster to try and give amnesty and work with Democrats on processing more border crossings. When that went down, you see McConnell just kind of flitter away. He's not really in the headlines. He even actually voted against the bill. He stabbed Lankford in the back. Oh, my gosh, this guy's a dirtbag.

It's wild. He never gave up anyone who wasn't going down as I said in the departed. Now you see Joni Ernst kind of flipping in the wind here. She's in trouble. She's retreating. And you see McConnell kind of slithering away. But at the same time, he's giving these speeches saying he's intending to still be a stick in the mud. And it's not the House of Representatives. One powerful senator can really hold up the Trump administration. So it's going to come down to a battle of wills if he decides this

Good luck with that. What do you think of the idea, Mike Lee floated this, and I think it's brilliant, what John Adams did?

When he was vice president, he just he went in and whoever's in the seat, whoever is the highest seated person is in charge of the Senate. And the vice president, you know, is a tie breaking vote. But he can do much more than that. He can actually take control of the Senate. If Donald Trump starts having problems like this, why wouldn't why wouldn't he just send over a very capable vice president?

And just say, here's our agenda. Here's what we're doing. Here's what here's what's happening. Why wouldn't he do that?

I think he ought to. I think that'd be a really great role for Senator Vance, I mean now Vice President-elect Vance. He only spent a few short years in Washington, D.C., but he had an extremely capable team. He worked really hard and in that time he was willing to butt heads with Republicans, willing to butt heads with Democrats, and had an impact on that chamber, which you don't usually see in the first few years of someone who's new to Washington's Senate career. But

He could come back and he could really wreck that sort of thing. I mean, his deputy chief of staff, James Braid, ended up becoming the director for legislative affairs for Donald Trump. That's a good move. This is the kind of guy who doesn't just listen to politics. He also reads the books. He's reading LBJ's history of the Senate. He's digging through the rules. He's digging through the history.

People who actually know how to try and get things done there. You don't want... J.D. Vance is going to end up having a pretty big portfolio, it seems. He's going to have a lot of responsibilities, more than maybe the OVC with the vice president. So he may be a little busy, but he's certainly got some capable folks, and he's able to get in there. But even if you don't take it over forever, even if you just go in at the beginning, if they start to slow down, Donald Trump has to have...

His appointments has to have them quickly and he has to get his agenda done in the first hundred days or they are going to they're going to they're they will stop this any way they can. He needs the Republicans at the beginning, at least for the first hundred days to move and move quickly. That was the secret of the Obama administration.

That was, and this is really the time he's got to do it. This is why you see them right now. They're kind of arguing about how to approach this. You've got January when everyone's going to come back to town, get to work. And there are some Republicans who are trying to attach basically a whole litany of what the Senate and the House wants to do.

the early legislation. You see Jason Smith, for example, he's trying to add tax reform to Donald Trump's early agenda. And you've seen the Trump team saying, heck no, we don't want to bog this down with tax. We want to do tax reform, but you can do that next. The first step is the Trump administration's promise to the American people. It's a border bill. It's an immigration bill. It's a deportation bill. That's what we want. And we want our nominees across the board. And we don't want to mess around with that at all.

But the people in Congress and the people in the Senate, they don't really like to listen that much to the will of the American people. So it is going to come down a little bit to a battle of wills. And it's also going to come down to how hard President Trump really wants to work on this. An engaged president.

who really cares about Capitol Hill and is willing to navigate it, can get a huge amount done. The ability for Trump to pick up that phone, the ability of Trump to send that tweet, to rattle that saber, to actually be engaged, that's going to be kind of key here. So give me the carrot that can be used, especially with McConnell, and the stick.

So McConnell's big thing is his legacy and his foreign policy legacy. He's trying to tie Donald Trump's hands on Ukraine. He's trying to tie Donald Trump's hands in the Middle East. And I don't know if there's many carrots that are really going to move him right now. He's too advanced in his career. He's obviously nearing the end of his career.

But there's certainly a stick. And McConnell, I'm going to write about this further for next week. But McConnell operates a massive influence network in Washington, D.C., a patronage network where his people are hired all over town. Just mid-level staffers don't need to be in charge. They have access to the money. They have access to the lobbyists. They have access to the power.

If you want to really crush an influence machine in D.C., you need to ban those people. You need to stop that. You need to stop the hiring. You need to say, we're not going to work with firms to hire these people. We're not going to hire those people. And you're going to have to push people like John Thune to stand out and stand apart from McConnell and show that they're their own man. Donald Trump will certainly have the will to do that. Can he just poison that well if he has to?

I think if he has to right now, this people are holding their fire. They're waiting. McConnell sent out a couple of smoke signals and warnings saying he intends to do this. But at the same time, when you read the interviews about Pete Hegseth, you read the interviews about Tulsi Gabbard, you'd see no interview. You see no mention of Mitch McConnell because he's kept quiet. He's not done taking the meetings. But at the end of the day, everyone's waiting to see, is the old man going to try and burn it all down? And if that's the case, I think you'll start to see open war. Yeah, I, I, um,

Have you spent much time with the president lately, Chris?

President-elect? Not since his election. Yeah, he is a different man, and he is dead serious. He knows now, unlike his first term, he knows where the bodies are buried. He knows his friends, his enemies. He knows what he wants to accomplish, and he has boned up on how Washington works. He's not going to take no for an answer. He will just slash and burn

to get things done because he knows. He's told me a million times, I have 100 days to get the big stuff done or it ain't going to get done. You know, I think that we are fortunate as a country that he lost that last election and it came back now. The team he has around him, the seriousness of which they're approaching this, the mandate from the American people, the respect of the global leaders,

the dream team he's pulled together, all of it combined for what could be an absolutely historic lifetime presidency. I have to tell you, from here on out, I'm just, when something doesn't go my way, you know, or our way for politics, I will always look to 2020 because we wouldn't even have known how deep the infection was had Biden and Harris not gotten in. We wouldn't have seen how close they were and what

perversion they were planning for our country. We are so blessed he didn't win in 2020.

Absolutely. The enemy is laid bare. And it's a good time to be winning again, just in time for the Christian Solidites. Yeah. Chris, thank you so much, and thanks for your newsletter every day. It's really, really good. You can sign up for the Beltway Brief now at TheBlaze.com slash Bedford. TheBlaze.com slash Bedford.

My daughter recorded this and she said to me afterwards, it's kind of weird dad because I've never, I've never had a date on New Year's Eve. You know, it's kind of like you've been my date on New Year's Eve. But I'm 18. This is going to be like I'm

I'm going to be having, and I said, no, you're not. You're going to be at the ranch and you're going to be at home and you're going to be in bed. And I will, I will tape anything. I'll tape the fireworks so you can get up early in the morning. I don't care if it's four o'clock when you used to get up, when you were four years old, you're going to bed early sister. But it was, it was, there's a couple of songs on this that are so just kind of heartbreaking as a dad. Cause you know, it, it, it, when she, she did, I'll be home for Christmas.

She's like, dad, this is the last year that I'm guaranteed to be home for Christmas. And I'm like, you're breaking my heart. What are you doing to me? You're just killing me. She said that I saw she did a news like an interview and like a local news station here in Dallas. And so great. It was so great.

The news reporter had no idea who her dad was. Oh, really? She did it here. And, you know, my name's all over the building. And the reporter comes in and does the whole thing, doesn't ask a single question. And then Cheyenne said, I'd have to ask my dad that, but he's right on the hall. Let me get him. She said, wait, wait, what's your dad's name again? And Cheyenne went, Glenn Beck. And she went, Glenn Beck. Okay, I got it.

She had no idea. Oh, cool. It was so cool. Because it's about her. Yeah. There's nothing in it about me. It's not like her dad noted racist Glenn Beck. It wasn't like that at all, which is shocking. But she mentioned that about how it was her last, you know, Christmas home. I don't I can't even think about. Oh, my God. What that moment's like. I don't ever want it to come.

with my daughter, but it is a, it's really, it's nice. She said the same thing. She said something similar in her live performance about the New Year's Eve song, which is about a date. Yeah. And she's like, you know, this is weird to sing. I've never had a date. I've never had a date on New Year's Eve. Yeah. It's funny to watch her do this. And the other thing that's really funny about this is how it's inspired America to come together to listen to her album over and over again.

to force you to do a duet of lizzo's song where to hell my phone and that's of course coming very i think maybe in the new year um very very soon you're gonna be recording this i hope next week i can because we're gonna be in nashville and you hope wait i don't know what you hope you're contractually obligated to the audience i know i am i'll get it done okay but

Do you want to play a little bit? Can you? I mean, it is. Stu's been working on this and I'm like, how are you possibly going to make where the hell my phone into anything singable? This is going to be hysterical.

Do you have the one without the reference track? We could play a little bit of it. This is hysterical. Remember, Lizzo is, where the hell my phone? It starts off, it has some of the similar beginnings, the trappings of the original. Let me remember this. Where the hell my phone? Where the hell my phone? Where the hell my phone? Where the hell my phone?

This is going to be great. You're going to nail this. Oh, I'm going to have a great time doing this. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. And again, it's not... And Lizzo will just lose her mind. She'll lose her mind. Oh, I think she'll like it. I think she'll like it. Do you? Oh, yeah. She might actually start performing it this way in concert, I think, when it's all over. With a little bluegrass band? Yeah. That would be great. Yeah.

So I'm looking forward to that. As much as I love your daughter's Christmas album, I will say. Where the hell is my phone? Oh, it's going to be fantastic. Did you hear that singing there, Sarah? No, it's not going to sound like that. Oh, it is going to sound just like that. It's going to be Glenn. And are you going to have Cheyenne on it a little bit? Like, may she do some backup? No, no, no. That was the deal. She has to do it. It is a duet. She's like, Dad.

I mean, how is he going to... Now I know how he... Thank you, Stu. Now I know how it's going to work. She might have to play the where the hell my phone... where the hell my phone part. You know what I mean? I don't know. I think...

Her wonderful voice will help you at times, but I feel like I do want to hear you suffer through every one of those horrible lyrics. This will be fantastic. It might have to wait until, to be, I mean, I'll produce it as fast as I can. Yeah, of course. But it might have to wait because of the holidays until January. Oh, now I'm excited. Now I can't wait. Glenn Beck. If the world went crazy tomorrow, would you notice Brealey?

And that album is Home for Christmas by Cheyenne Grace, available now wherever you stream your music or at glennbeckchristmas.com. Welcome to the program. We're glad you're here. Earlier today, in our number one of the podcast, we were talking about

the killer who will remain nameless forever on this program, the killer of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. And I referenced a conversation I had years ago with Rabbi Daniel Lappin about the mixing of sex and death and how...

how bad that is and how uncomfortable that makes you, I mean, should make you. You know, like if you're watching a movie and it's sexual and they're killing one of them, it's just that super, super bad. And he told me, and I can't remember for the life of me, that there is something in the Torah or the Ten Commandments or whatever

I don't know, Tim's rule of thumb, something bigger than that probably, that specifically talks about it. I can't remember it. And I think it's important because we are, that's what's happening. This is an actual blood lust. People are lusting after the blood and they're also drooling over the killer's abs. It is really a sick thing.

sick sign of our society. Rabbi Daniel Lappin joins us now. Rabbi, how are you? Glenn, wonderful, thank you. But you know, you fill me with a deep sense of responsibility and fear when I converse with you, knowing that years and years and years later, you're going to remember it. Well, and butcher it.

Yeah, he was not even close to the actual point, Rabbi. You should understand he attempted to remember it, but not that way. I remembered that there is something the Lord has said that says that's a really bad thing, but I can't remember the rest of it.

And I don't drink, so it's bad. You know, depending on where you, wherever anybody fits on the secular religious spectrum, and so regardless of whether you want to say that as a result of evolutionary biology, or if you want to say as a result of how God created us, we human beings do not

do well with step functions we do better with gradual gradients by which i mean to say that any sudden change between extremes doesn't do well for us going from very hot to very cold isn't good for our bodies uh... men generally suffer uh... the party issues if they had go from sitting behind the desk every day to very strenuous exercise right or people who sort of

Spend a lifetime very, very serious exercise and then sit around doing nothing. We don't do well with what I call step functions, sudden changes between extremes, conditions, and circumstances. And this is true for our bodies. This is also true for the more spiritual side of us, the psychological, the emotional.

the psychosomatic, the psychiatric, the inner part of us, and there can hardly be any greater contrast than between life and death.

I mean, those are the ultimate contrasts of light. It's an even more profound contrast than darkness and light. Right. And so obviously there again, a step function doesn't do well when we experience that. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on just a second. Stu, I don't even think he remembers. Because he never said any of this stuff. It was all about...

Bible stuff. How do you know he didn't say it if you can't remember it? Oh, because I'd remember the step function thing. I'd remember that. That's easy. Do you remember? We were talking about the old biblical rituals that were not biblical. They were Baal and Moloch. Yes. And we were talking. It was the time of Occupy Wall Street. Yes.

And we talked about the smearing of human feces on things. Fecal assault. Correct, which you said was part of that. And then we got to sex and death somehow or another. Right, right. So can you remember—

Sex is the ultimate expression of life. Part of its great appeal, part of why it's an almost irresistible instinct is because never do we feel more alive than during those moments. Right.

And it's the only time we partner with the creator. Yeah, it's also very interesting that although the specialists assured us during the 80s that having a vasectomy would not make any difference whatsoever to the sensation, sex will still be as euphoric and as thrilling as it always was. All that will be, you don't even have to worry about the possibility of conception.

And Norman Mailer was one of the first people who alerted me to the intrinsic falsehood of that statement. The fact is that when the potential for life is utterly eliminated, it actually does make a huge difference because people

Part of the thrill of sex is, again, spiritual, psychological. It's inside of us. It's not just a case of friction on nerves. It's more than a spasm in the spinal column. And when the possibility of life is removed, then it really, really does make a difference. One of the reasons so many people have been rushing to try and have vasectomy reversals, not that they necessarily want children, but they've sensed.

what a dramatic, distressing, diminishing it is of the entire experience because it is a life-affirming experience. The last thing you want to do is make that completely out of the question and impossible. Go ahead. Yeah.

And so for that reason, it's also important to recognize that in menstruation, what is actually happening is the death of an egg, if you like. It's the elimination of a tiny little possible potential of life. And so for a sensitive woman to feel a little bit down,

at the time of her period, it makes perfect sense. Of course, the sensitive woman will feel that. Who wouldn't feel it at the one tiny little possibility of life has now gone? It's not a big tragedy or anything, but for sensitive people, it's a reality. And so-- - And while you may not think that, you're saying we're naturally built to, I mean, our bodies understand that.

That's so beautiful. If I was in studio, I'd get up and come and give you a big hug. Yeah, so nicely put. Exactly, exactly right. And so one of the reasons that the Torah prohibits sex during menstruation, it's very simply, once again, you are trying to bring together life, the ultimate of life with a little bit of death doesn't go. We don't do well.

It's one of the reasons the Torah prohibits raising the dead and spiritual and talking to dead people. It doesn't say it's impossible. It says don't do it because life and death in close proximity to one another just don't do well. So husbands and wives, when one of them loses a parent and are in mourning, they don't have sex. Well, obviously, what sort of insensitive person would want to have sex at a time like that? Right.

Well, I just know that when my wife is like this, I am like this. We will turn off a movie so fast or walk out of a movie so fast when there's anything where somebody is getting some sort of sexual gratification out of killing someone.

It just seems like one of the most evil things you can, I don't know why, but it just does. Well, it's in essence the ultimate of masculinity. In these so-called enlightened times in which we live, we may not want to acknowledge this. We may not want to confront the reality, but the ultimate of masculinity is exactly that. It is sex and violence. Right.

And the masculine instinct to defend his woman and his family and his children, that is an essential part of masculinity. So when you take away the ennobling cultural context of virtue and family and structure, what you're left with is gangsterism, which is again focused on violence and sex. Wow.

Rabbi, go ahead. No, I was just going to say that Shakespeare himself put it so absolutely beautifully in his play The Winter's Tale, where Shakespeare in Act 3 has the shepherd. And I'm going to just say the words because they're so beautiful. Shakespeare says that...

Teenage boys really do nothing but getting girls pregnant and stealing and fighting. And Shakespeare says, I would there were no age between 16 and 3 and 20, or that youth would sleep out the rest, for there is nothing in between but getting wenches with child, wronging the ancientry, stealing and fighting.

So, you know, the contrast. Yeah, sorry. No, I was just going to say thank you for that. And I've always wanted to be a guy that could quote, you know, Shakespeare or even Dr. Seuss, quite honestly, never been able to do it. But

Especially when you do it with an English accent, you know, you just sound better. You sound smarter, and you are smarter than the rest of us. If I lose my accent, we'll starve to death. Thank you so much, Rabbi. Lovely seeing you, Dylan. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Rabbi Daniel Lappin. And that's even a South African, and I count that as English.

I don't know about anybody else, but I count that as English. Quoting Shakespeare. You know, it's like Shakespeare said in whatever that story was that he just said. I'm like, I remember that. We're high culture here on the Glenn Beck program. We're known for it. Got a 13-part series on whatever that was from Shakespeare coming up next week. Ha ha.

All right. Back in just a minute. Your dog doesn't know the difference between healthy and unhealthy food, but his body does. And when you're feeding him dry kibble food, for instance, it's telling him everything he's eating is dead because kibble food has to be sterilized for a long shelf life. Ever seen those things where...

You could put a McDonald's hamburger up on a, you know, windowsill for like, I don't know, two years and it's fine. I mean, I wouldn't eat it, but nothing happened to it. Yeah, that's kibble food.

Why are we pouring that into our dog's bowl? Why would we do that? It's dead food. Now, this is something that you sprinkle on that food that you already have. It's vitamins, probiotics, enzymes, omega oils, antioxidants, everything that will help your dog's digestion, energy, and you'll have fewer vet bills. Your dog will be happier. You will not believe the difference between

Time magazine's person of the year is Donald Trump. Of course, the story's not going to be positive, but he is dealing with the shadow government, the actual shadow cabinet. I talked about it on my show last night and at six tonight. It's on YouTube on my YouTube channel. Here's a clip of it. Now the progressives are actually making the shadows their

their main selling point. I give you the distinguished moron from North Carolina. Last week's done. As Democrats, we simply failed to convince the American people we have better ideas to solve their problems. But we do. Now we need to dust ourselves off and get ready to fight. We can't let Donald Trump's extreme MAGA agenda go unanswered or unopposed. Zone defense isn't gonna work. We're gonna have to go man on man.

So here's an idea for how to organize our opposition. We need to borrow from our British friends and appoint a shadow cabinet to fight back against the worst abuses of a second Trump administration. I find this amazing. Absolutely incredible and amazing. What deep state? How dare you say there's a deep state? He's crazy for saying a deep state. Then they go in and say, we're going to create a deep state. They start with,

"Okay, we failed to convince the American people that we have better ideas, but," just like every good progressive and heart in the deep state would say, "but we know better. We do have better ideas, so we're gonna put 'em in anyway." I don't know, that seems a little wrong, doesn't it? And then my favorite is, "And look, our British friends do it. People we had a war with to be not like anymore.

So the plan now is for the deep state to take all of those bad ideas that lost in the election and push them through the deep state. And then he went on to publicly name all the new capos in this criminal organization. I'm sorry, my wife, who is Italian and probably in the mob, would be ashamed of me. Is it capos or capos? I don't... Doesn't matter. The mob doesn't exist.

And if it did, I love them. Everyone from Adam Schiff, Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer all on this list. But Nickel, the moron from North Carolina, claims a deep state or shadow government, which is totally different, is nothing to worry about. After all, our cousins from the UK do it.

I want you to take a look at his majesty's official opposition shadow cabinet directly on their website. This is their government website. The shadow cabinet. There's nothing hidden there. This is the way they do it. That's not the way we do it. Remember the war? I think we had a lot of them. Okay, it's presented as an alternative government in waiting.

But see, when you have a parliamentary system where coalitions are being built and then they scheme and then everybody manipulates each other, it might make a little more sense because you can call an election at any time. But we don't have that system. We don't call elections whenever we want. We have a constitutional republic with checks and balances.

The founders could have made our system like England's, but they didn't. Why? Because they said it sucked! Have you read the Declaration of Independence? So what he's proposing here, out in the open, on the official record,

would be the American version of the UK's shadow cabinet by naming the top-down elected agents that secretly will run our country through the administrative deep state because they lost, because they couldn't convince you that those were good ideas, but they know better. Oh my gosh. The Glenn Beck Program.
