00:00:30.000 We'll be right back.
00:01:00.000 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:08.920 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:11.740 America under attack.
00:01:16.920 At least that's what it seems the last couple of days.
00:01:21.080 We've been watching as trucks have been rented from the very same place.
00:01:27.740 There are connections between attacks in New Orleans and one at Trump International Hotel.
00:01:33.960 And are there any more to come?
00:01:36.020 The details we know so far.
00:01:37.540 We're going to get you up to speed with it all coming up in just moments.
00:01:41.760 Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:44.080 The older I get, the more I think about trust.
00:01:51.300 I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust.
00:01:56.580 And the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust.
00:02:01.340 I know we're alike in that way.
00:02:02.580 We don't trust a lot of people anymore.
00:02:04.520 It's like we're all Ronald Reagan trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake.
00:02:09.760 I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly.
00:02:12.000 And that's why I started realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:02:14.880 I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes.
00:02:18.080 So we built Real Estate Agents I Trust to introduce you to one of the thousands of agents all over the country that we work with
00:02:24.700 that we have verified that they will help you have the most successful and good real estate transaction possible.
00:02:32.500 Our network agents share our sensibilities, have great track records, are good and decent people.
00:02:37.800 And I trust them to help you with your real estate needs.
00:02:40.940 So whether you're moving across town or across the country, visit realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:02:46.160 The name says it all, realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:02:55.180 So if you're like me, you woke up New Year's Day to the news of the absolutely horrific event of a truck ripping through on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
00:03:10.940 And the suing attack that took place afterwards.
00:03:16.320 Then later in the day we found out not just one, there's something else that's taken place.
00:03:21.640 A cyber truck.
00:03:24.080 And if you read the story and the headlines, it was kind of, I don't know, it just sounded to me like, hey, a Tesla truck exploded.
00:03:33.560 And that was some sort of coincidence or something.
00:03:43.680 Just a battery or something that went off and I think that's malpractice.
00:03:48.500 It's negligence by a lot of these media companies.
00:03:51.780 I think that may have been the issue.
00:03:59.240 But no, it was an actual attack planned.
00:04:03.840 And there are some, there are some, well, there are some connections.
00:04:10.700 So we'll dig into what those look like.
00:04:15.660 Seven injured, one dead in the Tesla cyber truck explosion that took place at Trump International, the tower there in Las Vegas.
00:04:23.800 There are 15 dead, 25 hospitalized right now.
00:04:27.500 The attack that took place in New Orleans, in Bourbon Street.
00:04:34.000 With some of the details that are coming out about this.
00:04:39.020 Both trucks rented using an app called Turo.
00:04:44.380 Not blaming Turo, but it's just a fact.
00:04:46.860 They were both rented using an app called Turo.
00:04:50.440 Both electric vehicles.
00:04:54.340 Somebody pointed this out to me.
00:04:55.640 It was kind of interesting.
00:04:57.160 I got an email from a guy.
00:04:58.280 I said, you know, that Ford truck that was used was a Lightning.
00:05:04.000 It was a Lightning.
00:05:10.980 And that means, because it was an electric truck, not only does it, it's very, very heavy.
00:05:20.320 But it can reach high speeds very quickly.
00:05:26.720 And it did on Bourbon Street.
00:05:28.640 The other piece that is deadly is also the fact that the truck would have been near silent as it was moving down Bourbon Street and mowing people over.
00:05:43.900 The man in the truck, who we know, had an ISIS flag tied to the back of it.
00:05:54.120 A veteran himself, there's another similarity, piece of similar information with the man who attacked the Trump Tower in Vegas as well.
00:06:03.140 But the man who was in that truck got out and then began firing upon people there inside the French Quarter.
00:06:13.940 And America is under attack.
00:06:15.840 Now, people have been warning about this for a while.
00:06:17.720 In fact, later on in the program today, we're going to talk about this particular situation and why people have been warning about it for a while now.
00:06:26.500 And what we could face and what it is really, essentially, the chickens coming home, the roost, and the open border.
00:06:33.140 Now, there were talks about the individual, the man who was responsible for the attack and who he was and how to come across the border and whatnot.
00:06:41.880 Apparently, both individuals responsible for these attacks, according to the reports that we have, were people that are citizens that were veterans.
00:06:54.220 Matter of fact, they served in the same, this is the wild part of it.
00:07:00.080 Not only did they use Turo, which is, you know, interesting piece of information, but they served together.
00:07:08.180 They served together and in the same military base.
00:07:15.220 Now, you may say both, a lot of these things to me sound a little bit more like coincidence.
00:07:19.560 I don't know if I can add all those up, but surely, you would say you probably want to take a closer look at some of these coincidences.
00:07:28.560 They seem to add up.
00:07:30.040 One of the persons that, again, has been ringing the alarm on this for quite a while has been saying, we are more vulnerable than ever before.
00:07:38.660 You and I know this.
00:07:39.520 We've been talking about it for a while now.
00:07:41.260 Of course, I believe it's one of the reasons why President Trump won the election.
00:07:44.480 But we are in a critical time.
00:07:47.940 One of the pieces, in fact, it's been quiet.
00:07:50.260 It's been too quiet.
00:07:51.440 A lot of us have said.
00:07:54.380 We are in even probably a more critical time than that leading up to the election.
00:08:00.300 And you saw what that was like.
00:08:04.020 Multiple assassination attempts on President Trump.
00:08:06.900 And now, we're at this pivotal moment, the days leading up to the point where he lays his hand on the Bible and takes the oath of office and is inaugurated.
00:08:21.980 Sworn in the office.
00:08:25.400 And this is a time that is more precarious than any we may have known in our lifetime.
00:08:33.200 I'm not sure about you, but all of the hope, all of the optimism that many of us have been feeling leading up until this point, right, really hinges on this actually taking place.
00:08:55.520 So whether they're targets from within or from without these attacks, where they're coming from, one thing is for sure, things are hanging in the balance.
00:09:14.520 One of the former CIA folks who had been warning about this, her name is Sarah Adams, coming up in the program.
00:09:22.980 We're going to talk to her about what she's heard, what she's seen coming in, probably the worst piece of information on it all.
00:09:32.880 It's almost unthinkable.
00:09:34.360 What do we do to stop it?
00:09:39.840 So they got the sugar bowl that was postponed yesterday and will be today, apparently, as they have now had to take, I'm sure, new measures to make sure that they've cleared that area and done everything that they can to secure that event.
00:09:57.700 And here we are yet again.
00:10:01.380 I find myself in this weird place.
00:10:03.280 I don't know about you, but I, on one hand, I sort of, I just, I want to avoid large crowds, which I kind of really want to do anyway.
00:10:15.300 But I want to avoid large crowds.
00:10:19.940 And then on top of it, I think to myself, well, that's how they win.
00:10:23.660 I don't want to let them win.
00:10:25.040 I don't want to let this type of thing affect me.
00:10:27.440 And I don't know, maybe you feel the same way.
00:10:32.320 That's how the terrorists win.
00:10:34.480 And in this case, these terrorists and their motivations, whatever they might be, these two individuals, they couldn't be more, I think, further from one another.
00:10:43.560 And it looks, in a lot of ways, with ideologies and things like that.
00:10:46.920 But maybe there are more connections that we know about.
00:10:50.500 Here's what we know this morning so far.
00:10:52.080 This comes from the Daily Mail.
00:10:53.680 The Las Vegas bomber who blew up the Cybertruck outside the Trump Hotel.
00:10:58.960 As cops say, he served at the same military base as the New Orleans mass killer, Jabbar.
00:11:07.000 This man, Army veteran Matthew Livelsberger.
00:11:09.580 Although officials have not publicly named him as the bomber.
00:11:16.060 Senior law enforcement sources confirming his identity to KOAA and KTNV.
00:11:22.180 He served over 19 years in the Army, 18 of which were spent with special forces.
00:11:29.480 Your spidey senses weren't already tingling.
00:11:31.720 If you couldn't already smell something already.
00:11:41.320 Served over 19 years in the Army, 18 of which were spent with special forces, according to his LinkedIn profile's current role.
00:11:47.580 Listed as a remote and autonomous systems manager.
00:11:50.780 Which he had been in for just three months.
00:11:54.320 A Colorado townhome associated with him was raided by the FBI late Wednesday night.
00:12:00.220 Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms brought to assist the suspect.
00:12:05.660 A bomber was raised in Ohio, moved to Colorado Springs as an adult.
00:12:11.600 Yada, yada, yada.
00:12:12.460 Law enforcement sources revealed that he had died Wednesday in the explosion outside the hotel.
00:12:19.820 Previously served in the same military base as the New Orleans terrorist, Shamsa Din Jabbar.
00:12:27.680 Police have not yet confirmed that the pair were, the two were known to each other.
00:12:32.760 Jabbar, who had allegedly pledged himself to the Islamic State,
00:12:36.860 ramming the pickup truck which bore the ISIS flag into a crowd.
00:12:39.660 Now, there was a whole discussion on whether this was a terrorist act or whether it wasn't,
00:12:43.780 and whether the flag would, all of this stuff happens and it happens so quickly.
00:12:47.600 But, I will tell you one thing.
00:12:49.940 Thank God for Twitter, X.
00:12:51.980 Thank God that Elon Musk, because we wouldn't, you wouldn't know any of these things.
00:12:56.540 The news that comes and as it breaks, and it breaks so quickly on Twitter, slash X,
00:13:01.860 whatever you want to call it these days.
00:13:03.160 Because of Elon Musk taking this thing over and allowing it to flow, and as freely as it does,
00:13:12.220 you see things that, well, sometimes may not be right, sometimes they may get corrected later,
00:13:18.700 and that all gets worked out in the wash.
00:13:20.200 But you see things at a pace and at a speed.
00:13:23.700 It's like drinking from a fire hose.
00:13:25.160 Really, that's the kind of the world we're in nowadays.
00:13:27.360 By the way, the FBI said it doesn't think that Jabbar was solely responsible for the Berman Street attack.
00:13:35.700 Now, we're hearing that maybe that's not so true.
00:13:39.020 Maybe he did act alone.
00:13:41.920 And the question that you may be asking is, what do you believe out of any of this?
00:13:46.360 One thing is for sure.
00:13:47.660 The times are very, very precarious that we're in right now.
00:13:52.680 Pray for this nation.
00:13:53.780 Pray for the strength of the leadership incoming.
00:13:55.980 And, of course, the folks who are working to keep everyone safe today.
00:14:00.020 But now more than ever, I think it is more obvious than ever before
00:14:08.900 what these last four years and even before have led up to.
00:14:16.940 The chickens have come home to roost.
00:14:18.800 So what do we do next?
00:14:19.720 We'll talk about that coming up.
00:14:21.640 Plus, we're going to hear from Sarah Adams this morning, a little bit later on,
00:14:25.080 former CIA, expect to hear exactly why she believes this is going on, what she thinks is happening.
00:14:32.360 And, of course, again, I think the biggest piece.
00:14:35.800 Okay, now what?
00:14:38.000 All of it and more coming in.
00:14:39.500 It's Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:14:42.800 Back next.

00:15:58.360 888-727-BECK.
00:16:00.240 888-727-BECK.
00:16:03.780 I want to hear from you and where you think we are.
00:16:06.500 Like I said, conflicting reports and some of the stuff, you know, early on when things come out, this is always sort of how it works in the news.
00:16:13.280 Some of the things may not be true, but one of the things we do know is that they had wired explosives and was working on explosives.
00:16:19.900 And apparently, I had some IEDs, some things that were improvised inside of the truck there, that lightning.
00:16:30.660 And there are a number of thoughts and theories on why, again, the electric trucks were used and what all of that's supposed to mean.
00:16:38.500 So we'll get into that coming up.
00:16:40.600 But first, just some of the reports are coming out.
00:16:42.960 And this is, again, from a Louisiana State Police bulletin.
00:16:46.300 Also, a corresponding remote control discovered inside the vehicle.
00:16:51.220 Now, this is also significant.
00:16:52.680 According to the same intelligence bulletin surveillance footage, Molly captured three men and a woman placing one of multiple improvised explosive devices.
00:17:03.900 So certainly more to this investigation.
00:17:07.220 President Biden, meanwhile, is not here at the White House today on this first day of 2025.
00:17:13.180 He's at the presidential retreat in the Maryland Mountains, Camp David.
00:17:16.900 However, he is continuing to get updates from his team, from the Homeland Security Department, from the Justice Department, also from the FBI.
00:17:26.040 I want to read something that the president said, actually, I want to go to, rather, some sound from President Biden on the tarmac before he took off from Delaware to go to Camp David.
00:17:37.580 Watch this.
00:17:38.060 I've spoken to every member of the agency, from the CIA to the, to our national security team, to our FBI, NSC, and I'm forgetting, gathering all the, and I've spent a lot of time in the government with the mayor.
00:17:52.780 What was your reaction when you heard what happened?
00:17:55.100 Well, the reaction was one of anger and frustration.
00:17:58.600 Thank you.
00:17:59.040 Well, it's, it's, it's, I hate to say, but it's, it's true.
00:18:07.260 It's his fault.
00:18:08.000 The, the, the state of the country, the way it's been left in the other disarray because the border been wide open and all these security threats.
00:18:17.160 Uh, so just the economy.
00:18:20.680 There are very, various other issues that people have been ringing the alarm on for years on this.
00:18:26.080 So, you just heard, by the way, this came out earlier.
00:18:31.100 You just heard that, that there were other people they were looking for, people of interest in, in, in the Bourbon Street attack.
00:18:36.700 Getting new information.
00:18:37.860 You're getting some clarification from law enforcement officials.
00:18:41.140 What are you learning?
00:18:42.300 Yeah, well, for one of the things we, we have been focused on is the FBI certainly was looking at this surveillance video that, at the time, at least, appeared to show that there were other people who may have been involved in placing devices.
00:18:55.080 Uh, in the French Quarter.
00:18:57.260 Now, we know, uh, that law enforcement now has determined that those people had nothing to do with this incident.
00:19:02.580 At this point, it appears that those people, uh, seen on surveillance video, uh, did not have anything to do with, with placing devices, uh, in the French Quarter.
00:19:12.420 Uh, that this, uh, suspect, you know, was solely responsible, certainly for the attack, at least as we know it, at this point.
00:19:19.800 Now, we should make clear that the FBI is still looking at possible associates.
00:19:23.960 They're trying to, uh, see whether there's anybody who may have been involved in helping to, uh, create the devices, the IEDs, uh, whether those people, anybody who might have been involved in helping to plan the, you know.
00:19:35.560 Well, tough luck with that because the home, the Airbnb, where they, where they were putting this stuff together, where he was putting this stuff together, caught fire and, uh, had burned down.
00:19:49.020 And, uh, was that yesterday?
00:19:51.240 I think that might have been yesterday.
00:19:54.840 Nothing to see here.
00:19:56.520 Nothing to see.
00:19:57.020 Wait, 2025's already off with a bang, folks.
00:20:01.940 And the question is, what, what comes next?
00:20:06.600 Now, video is also circulating online of what appears to be the man responsible for the, the attack in, in New Orleans.
00:20:13.640 Video, Shamsa Din Jabbar.
00:20:15.660 And, apparently, it was from a time where he worked in real estate or was a consultant.
00:20:23.000 He's got some interesting ties with, with some other corporations and whatnot that are, that are starting to come out.
00:20:29.520 You'll hear more about that, I'm sure, in the days ahead.
00:20:31.760 But, this video just strikes me.
00:20:34.320 It looks like anybody.
00:20:35.280 Could have been you, me, anybody else.
00:20:38.060 And he's talking very coherently and, and making a lot of sense about different things.
00:20:43.240 And, seems like he's just like a businessman.
00:20:47.360 And, this is, what, just a couple, maybe a year or two old?
00:20:50.420 Texas, and now live in Houston.
00:20:53.040 And, I've been here all my life, with the exception of traveling for the military, where I spent 10 years as a human resources specialist and IT specialist, where I learned the meaning of great service and what it means to be responsive and take everything seriously, dotting I's and crossing T's to make sure that things go off without a hitch.
00:21:11.580 So, I've taken those skills and applied them to my career.
00:21:15.260 Now, this is, this is a very coherent, this is a very serious individual you would think, somebody you would probably hire to work in your company if you had one, need for that.
00:21:28.140 My question is, how does somebody like this go from zero to jihad in such short time?
00:21:36.220 How was he radicalized?
00:21:41.180 To what extent did maybe media or social media play a role?
00:21:47.620 More questions that we've got to have to ask the days ahead as we get more of this information on the way.
00:21:53.400 Coming up, they're at it again in the midst of all this going on.
00:21:57.160 They're trying to break the bird flu up to the front of things as well.
00:22:03.320 Dr. Robert Malone joins us coming up after the bottom of the hour with the latest on this scare tactic and more on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:22:14.540 Glenn Beck.
00:22:17.780 With New Year's resolutions, many of us will vow to eat healthier, and that's a good thing.
00:22:22.800 But what about your beloved pets and their nutrition?
00:22:25.520 Where's their RFK?

00:23:24.660 More Glenn Beck next.
00:23:25.880 Stand up.
00:23:48.200 Justin Barclay in for Glenn Beck today on the Glenn Beck program.
00:23:51.600 And you can find and follow me everywhere on social media at Mr. Justin Barclay and JustinBarclay.com.
00:23:56.940 Love to stay up to date with you.
00:23:59.540 So it's been a wild ride.
00:24:01.560 And this holiday season has been full of it.
00:24:04.320 I often say it's like drinking from a firehouse.
00:24:06.700 Never a dull medic.
00:24:07.880 The news never stops.
00:24:09.460 And it's rare to find truth, logic, and common sense these days on any of the cable networks.
00:24:15.760 That's why we are here.
00:24:17.900 De-Face the Nation on CBS the other day.
00:24:21.320 Had the so-called health expert.
00:24:23.460 You can probably, you probably remember this individual.
00:24:27.900 She was on just the, oh, it was like non-stop on CNN and all the rest of them.
00:24:33.960 Lena Nguyen, former commissioner of the Baltimore City Health Department.
00:24:39.620 She's out there making the case that it's time that the Biden administration needs to get out there and authorize a bird flu vaccine.
00:24:48.840 You've got birds.
00:24:49.680 You've got birds.
00:24:50.520 You've got drones.
00:24:52.680 You've got what just happened in New Orleans and at the Trump Tower.
00:24:58.360 You've got all these things happening at the same time.
00:25:00.220 And the crises feel like they're overwhelming.
00:25:04.000 And you wonder, again, at the end, the very pivotal time that we're in, whether this is intentional or some of this is just incompetence.
00:25:12.980 More on that coming up.
00:25:13.980 But first of what she had to say this week.
00:25:15.740 There are two main things that they should be doing in the days that they have left.
00:25:19.180 The first is to get testing out there.
00:25:21.700 I feel like we should have learned our lesson from COVID that just because we aren't testing, it doesn't mean that the virus isn't there.
00:25:27.520 It just means that we aren't looking for it.
00:25:29.540 We should be having rapid tests, home tests available to all farm workers, to their families, for the clinicians taking care of them so that we aren't waiting for public labs and CDC labs to tell us what's bird flu or not.
00:25:42.640 And the second very important thing is this is not like the beginning of COVID where we were dealing with a new virus.
00:25:47.820 We didn't have a vaccine.
00:25:49.160 There actually is a vaccine developed already against H5N1.
00:25:52.540 The Biden administration has contracted with manufacturers to make almost 5 million doses of the vaccine.
00:25:59.060 However, they have not asked the FDA to authorize the vaccine.
00:26:02.960 There's research done on it.
00:26:04.280 They could get this authorized now and also get the vaccine out and to farm workers and to vulnerable people.
00:26:12.440 Here we go again.
00:26:13.760 Why do I get the same feeling?
00:26:15.340 It's here we go again.
00:26:17.340 And I know I'm not the only one.
00:26:18.340 Dr. Robert Malone joining us right now with the latest on this bird flu.
00:26:23.580 Should we be concerned or is it for the birds?
00:26:27.300 Doctor, appreciate you taking the time to be here with us.
00:26:29.760 Again, I watch this stuff and I don't know.
00:26:31.820 It's just my spidey sense is tingling.
00:26:34.420 Here we go again.
00:26:37.740 Hi, Ron.
00:26:39.180 Yeah, we do.
00:26:40.100 What surprises me about Lena Nguyen's statement is, number one, it's completely divorced from regulatory reality and from the public health situation as it exists, including statements from the NIH and CDC to their credit that make it very clear that bird flu is currently considered to be a low risk in the United States for human beings.
00:27:06.620 But what bothers me about Lena Nguyen's rather hyperbolic statements is they seem to reflect some sort of hidden agenda.
00:27:18.260 And the question is, who is paying her for this?
00:27:21.100 What she's saying is that basically in the remaining couple of weeks until President-elect Biden is sworn in, somehow, in the absence of any kind of a medical emergency, the Biden administration has to jam through authorization of these untested products, which, by the way, are largely based on the mRNA tech.
00:27:50.100 And what it calls into question is, why is Lena Nguyen being given a platform on Face the Nation?
00:27:58.940 And why is she making these really totally unfounded claims that fly in the face of federal law, of regulatory norms, and everything else?
00:28:12.860 This is not a public health crisis, according to the CDC and the NIH in their recent editorial in New England Journal of Medicine.
00:28:24.240 I mean, it can't get any more overt than this.
00:28:27.580 This is twisted.
00:28:29.040 Doctor, I get those same feelings.
00:28:35.400 And now, you know, to back that up with what you've just said scientifically, what is that?
00:28:42.780 You just mentioned maybe there's some profit motive here.
00:28:45.020 Maybe there's some sort of incentivization.
00:28:46.900 She's being paid by someone.
00:28:48.760 What is this push?
00:28:51.560 Is this the last and final gasp of some sort of pharma, big pharma complex out there that wants to try and push this out before the Trump administration gets in?
00:29:03.100 What are we watching here?
00:29:06.160 That's a really good question.
00:29:07.260 Now, last and final gasp from the pharmaceutical military industrial complex is a long way from the situation.
00:29:15.920 Those guys are not going to go away, and they're doing everything they can to derail the confirmation of the nominated Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
00:29:30.200 But it's unclear what is behind Lena Nguyen's statements.
00:29:37.300 Who is she working for?
00:29:38.740 Now, in the case of people like Scott Gottlieb, the former FDA commissioner, we know who he's working for.
00:29:44.020 He's on the board of Pfizer, and so he advances Pfizer's interests, but that's never disclosed in corporate media.
00:29:52.000 We have this strange situation of the former director of the CDC, and he is making statements that bird flu is 50% mortal, causes a 50% death rate.
00:30:10.420 That's Bob Redfield, and that's clearly false.
00:30:13.980 That's data coming from or statements coming from the World Health Organization that reflect what we call a sampling bias.
00:30:22.020 What the WHO gets with bird flu in any other pathogen is they get the reports of the most extreme cases, and then they compile those, and they make statements about how lethal this, that, or the other pathogen is.
00:30:38.100 But they're really biased by this reporting problem that they have.
00:30:42.480 But in the case of Lena Nguyen, it's not clear who she's representing.
00:30:48.060 There's no disclosure about what her background is, who's paying her, potential conflicts of interest.
00:30:54.480 She just comes on with these crazy statements that have no basis in reality.
00:31:00.760 They're just marketing.
00:31:02.680 They're propaganda.
00:31:03.320 So, from what I understand, what you just mentioned is that bird flu isn't something it sounds like we need to be concerned about personally for human risk.
00:31:15.260 What about...
00:31:16.320 According to the CDC and the NIH.
00:31:19.180 Right.
00:31:20.500 What about for the animals?
00:31:23.560 I know that we've had, and here I am in Michigan, we've had a number of issues they're looking at with birds and cows, and they've been talking about, you know, what they can do.
00:31:33.480 We just had a law that came through, the bill that was passed a few years back, and it finally went into effect, and they can't sell cage-free...
00:31:41.300 What was it?
00:31:41.800 No.
00:31:42.060 They can't caged eggs anymore.
00:31:45.300 And this has been, like, wiped off the shelves.
00:31:48.940 And so, you're looking at that, and you're wondering, what's that going to do the price of these?
00:31:53.560 Eggs and everything else.
00:31:55.380 Is there some issue with food supply?
00:32:00.100 Okay.
00:32:00.940 So, that issue.
00:32:04.260 This is a highly pathogenic avian influenza.
00:32:08.900 That's the acronym they use, is HPAI.
00:32:12.540 And it does kill birds.
00:32:15.520 It is endemic in the waterfowl.
00:32:18.960 So, I think you mentioned Michigan.
00:32:20.440 So, all of the flyways with the ducks and geese, there is significant amounts of this high-path avian influenza in those migratory waterfowl, which is, by the way, why we can never eradicate it.
00:32:35.560 It's out in the wild.
00:32:36.600 It has animal reservoirs.
00:32:37.880 So, it can be quite lethal to birds.
00:32:42.660 And it has been around.
00:32:44.760 It's been around since, I think, the late 1800s, and then really rediscovered in 1959.
00:32:54.540 So, this has been with us for a long period of time.
00:32:58.980 It does cause death in birds.
00:33:01.640 And it is absolutely industry best practices, particularly with these large chicken farms, these industrial chicken farms, that when they detect an infectious virus like flu in a poultry barn,
00:33:18.940 they go through and they kill all the birds in that barn, and then they will, and potentially even in that farm, and then they will sterilize those facilities to the best of their ability.
00:33:34.280 And the reason they do that is if they were to vaccinate, and by the way, vaccination is not economically viable in poultry.
00:33:41.700 If they were to vaccinate, then the vaccines all leak.
00:33:47.780 And so, what they would end up doing is just selecting for vaccine-resistant virus, just like what happened with COVID, with the leaky vaccines.
00:33:57.360 Now, cattle is an interesting situation.
00:34:00.380 And what's happened here is that this widespread testing for H5N1 or high-path avian influenza in a variety of animals has shown that we have it in cattle, we have it in dairy cattle,
00:34:23.120 and we have what's kind of come out over the last year, is that the glands, the cells that make the milk in the udder, will support replication of this virus.
00:34:40.260 And so, this virus does get shed into milk.
00:34:42.920 That's true.
00:34:44.600 Okay?
00:34:44.780 And it's also true that dairy workers, particularly in California, are getting this infection.
00:34:53.260 Are they dying or going to the hospital?
00:34:55.440 No.
00:34:56.140 What they're getting is conjunctivitis, red eye, okay?
00:34:59.680 And some mild symptoms.
00:35:01.760 The same is true with the cows themselves.
00:35:04.600 This is not killing cows.
00:35:06.740 It is causing them to get infected.
00:35:09.300 Is this a new thing?
00:35:11.220 Has this just started happening?
00:35:12.680 We have no idea because they just started testing them, or you test them where you find.
00:35:17.860 So, that's where we're at with the cows, and they're using this as justification now to push RNA vaccines into cattle.
00:35:25.740 That's a problem because we know from human studies that this RNA technology, these products, get shed in breast milk.
00:35:36.800 And so, then we do have the prospect of this, quote, vaccine material being shed in the milk.
00:35:46.040 And that, if nothing else, is going to spark consumers.
00:35:49.960 They're going to want to not take milk from vaccinated cows.
00:35:54.480 Likewise, they want to start jabbing all of the beef cattle.
00:35:57.760 And that also, there's a lot of people in the Cattlemen's Association that are really objecting to this, not that necessarily that that's going to be transmissible through the meat, but it's going to make consumers very wary of eating meat that's come from vaccinated animals.
00:36:16.100 And, by the way, the animals that are getting jabbed are the pigs.
00:36:20.400 It's the factory-formed pigs that are getting the RNA vaccines.
00:36:23.640 I want to spend more time on this because I think people need to keep – if you can hang with us, we've got a break.
00:36:27.820 We're up against the clock here.
00:36:29.100 We'll come back and put the wraps on this so people can understand what you're saying because I think this is going to play into what people are going to be watching here in the days ahead.
00:36:37.760 And he ought to know something about it.
00:36:39.140 Dr. Robert Malone joins us.
00:36:40.980 And we're back with more after this on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:36:44.820 Our opinions weighing you down.
00:36:49.700 Call in and let it out.
00:36:52.020 888-727-BECK.
00:36:57.040 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:37:10.200 The new year is a time of reflection on the past year and hope for the year to come.
00:37:14.820 Last year was a turbulent time for Israel and the Jewish people, the devastating and ongoing multi-front war, an unprecedented rise in global anti-Semitism, and the loss of many Jewish lives.
00:37:25.980 But there has also been an uprising of love and support from you, the listeners, and by the organization, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:37:34.100 Your support of IFCJ has saved lives and answered prayers.
00:37:38.100 Thanks to the generosity of people in the United States, bomb shelters have been built and placed.
00:37:42.960 Life-saving food and emergency supplies have been provided to evacuees and those in critical need.
00:37:48.160 And protective gear and medical equipment has been distributed to first responders on the front lines.
00:37:52.940 There is still more work to do.
00:37:55.120 Join the movement of those who have raised their voices to support Israel and the Jewish people.
00:38:00.380 We ask you to continue your prayers and ongoing support today by visiting supportifcj.org.
00:38:06.640 That's one word, supportifcj.org.
00:38:10.240 Yeah, what is going on with this bird flu psyop, the latest anyway?
00:38:28.060 Dr. Robert Malone writes about it in a substack.
00:38:30.140 I want to get a chance to talk about that.
00:38:31.480 Not a lot of time here, but how it will affect the food supply is what you were just mentioning,
00:38:37.740 whether it's from the milk in this RNA that will be in the milk,
00:38:44.460 or just the fact that people will be less likely to want to buy these things, milk or beef from cows.
00:38:51.560 These are all things that we ought to take a, I guess, closer look at.
00:38:55.500 Dr. Nong was just letting you wrap up a point.
00:38:57.660 It's in the pork already.
00:38:58.640 Yeah, so Merck markets a vaccine product for pork that's custom.
00:39:08.020 The real problem underlying all this is factory farms,
00:39:11.800 where in factory farms you have this really high density of animals,
00:39:16.600 and they spread infectious disease, and basically infectious disease evolves in these large factory farms.
00:39:23.360 And so what Merck has done is they go into the factory farms,
00:39:27.740 they sample the viruses that are circulating in other pathogens,
00:39:31.280 and then they build a custom mRNA vaccine for those things,
00:39:35.840 and then they administer it to all the pigs.
00:39:38.760 Pigs are big enough and high market value enough that it can justify the cost of doing this.
00:39:45.380 And it doesn't just have to be a pathogen that is killing the pigs or other animals,
00:39:53.060 but in these, the tight margin environments of factory farms,
00:39:57.940 anything that will actually reduce weight gain is a justification for implementing this kind of stuff.
00:40:05.160 So yeah, your factory farm pork is already receiving mRNA vaccines courtesy of Merck.
00:40:12.920 What's going to happen with chickens as this spreads through is you're going to have,
00:40:17.720 because of the federal policy, and I don't want to argue that, there's logic to it.
00:40:22.520 It may not be the only option, but the logic is that if one of these high-path avian influenza viruses
00:40:29.780 get into a bird flock, then they need to call the entire group.
00:40:36.340 And this does result in massive death in the chicken industry,
00:40:40.600 and that does result in higher prices and reduced availability of chickens.
00:40:46.280 Dr. Robert Malone, that's all the time we have.
00:40:49.060 This is a massive story that we've got to continue to follow and dig into.
00:40:51.960 People can find you and follow you all over the Substack.
00:40:55.900 Get it, read it.

00:40:59.640 The Glenn Beck Program
00:41:21.960 Welcome to the Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.
00:41:46.960 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:41:51.300 Well, the latest stories, the attack in New Orleans and Trump Tower International in Las Vegas.
00:42:00.900 Story after story, the news never stops, and particularly not during a time like this.
00:42:06.420 We're in a very precarious moment.
00:42:08.040 But what about not just the crises that are going on, the ones that may come in the days ahead?
00:42:13.340 We can't forget about those, particularly Americans, left in the wake of disasters and crises past.
00:42:21.300 In fact, we'll talk about one of them that's just getting swept under the rug lately.
00:42:25.880 The folks in North Carolina facing very tough times with weather temperatures dropping.
00:42:32.620 There's a very, very cold, frigid rain sharing the days ahead, and yet they're still suffering and need help.
00:42:40.700 We'll check in on them with the latest in our guest next.
00:42:43.560 Justin Barkley in today for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:42:46.680 The older I get, the more I think about trust.
00:42:54.860 I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust.
00:42:59.060 And the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust.
00:43:03.780 I know we're alike in that way.
00:43:05.200 We don't trust a lot of people anymore.
00:43:07.040 It's like we're all Ronald Reagan.
00:43:08.660 Trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake.
00:43:12.220 I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly.
00:43:14.420 And that's why I started realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:43:17.640 I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes.
00:43:20.540 So we built Real Estate Agents I Trust to introduce you to one of the thousands of agents all over the country that we work with
00:43:27.200 that we have verified that they will help you have the most successful and good real estate transaction possible.
00:43:35.000 Our network agents share our sensibilities, have great track records, are good and decent people,
00:43:40.300 and I trust them to help you with your real estate needs.
00:43:43.440 So whether you're moving across town or across the country, visit realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:43:48.680 The name says it all, realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:43:59.100 They are the forgotten in western North Carolina, folks that are dealing with the aftermath of Helene.
00:44:05.920 We just got new reports that FEMA has announced that they've moved in some real estate here.
00:44:12.820 No, it's not more homes for folks who are without them right now in that area that have been so for months now.
00:44:20.480 No, it's a lease.
00:44:22.080 A new lease on a massive 117,000 square foot office building in North Carolina to assist with what they're calling disaster relief.
00:44:30.580 It comes after, well, just 24 hours after they admitted they only delivered three out of the 26 homes they promised by Christmas.
00:44:40.100 And for anyone taking notes at home, this new office building is 224 miles away from the epicenter in western North Carolina.
00:44:50.320 The location can accommodate three times that many.
00:44:53.380 They've leased the entire building for up to three years.
00:44:56.440 State emergency management spokesman Brian Haynes says it shows FEMA is here for the long haul, and it will be a long haul.
00:45:05.520 I mean, in all honesty, this will be years probably in the making.
00:45:10.400 Even though it's been three months since Helene hit, Haynes says there are still more than 5,000 households in transitional housing and hotels and motels.
00:45:20.120 FEMA recently extended the deadlines to apply for disaster relief.
00:45:23.920 The state has asked for $25 billion in federal aid.
00:45:28.200 There's individual assistance, which goes to help individual households.
00:45:32.060 A lot of it's going to go to public assistance, which is rebuilding communities.
00:45:36.140 So all of that infrastructure damage, that kind of stuff, roadways.
00:45:39.740 Haynes says FEMA and the state are working closely together, and recovery efforts are making progress.
00:45:45.280 But it's slow.
00:45:46.580 It's unfortunate we can't move faster on these things.
00:45:48.980 But, you know, it's just a lot of work, and it's a lot of moving pieces, and we have to kind of work through the process.
00:45:56.380 Well, I know that those people that are on the ground there feel that pain, wanted to get a check in, because I don't want these people to be left behind.
00:46:04.580 I don't want them to be forgotten.
00:46:06.460 I know they feel that way in some ways.
00:46:08.160 There are real average people, everyday folks like you and me that are lending a hand, one of them, Dr. Sherry O'Donnell, with a team of folks that has been to North Carolina over and over and over again, the Heartbeat Mission, and wanted to check in on what she's seen on the ground and what they've found, and the latest.
00:46:25.240 Dr. Sherry, appreciate you taking the time to be here with us today.
00:46:29.300 My pleasure, and good morning, and Happy New Year to you.
00:46:31.660 So, Heartbeat Mission, let's just, you can tell folks what exactly you do.
00:46:36.940 You've been all over the world helping people when disaster strikes, it sounds like, and now you've been serving right here in our own backyard in western North Carolina.
00:46:46.620 That's true.
00:46:47.400 Heartbeat Mission is our 501c3 arm that helps fund some of our both international and national relief efforts.
00:46:54.900 And when the hurricane happened in North Carolina, we did respond, and we've sent a group of others over three different times now.
00:47:04.280 Once the new year begins and come, we get our feet back on the ground after the holidays, we'll be sending additional people.
00:47:10.320 What have you found on the ground so far?
00:47:13.200 I know Glenn's group, Mercury One, have done some fantastic work there along with the folks at Franklin's group as well.
00:47:22.780 Well, it's been real-life, everyday people that have really come together here, and Linda Hanna, tremendous ways.
00:47:30.580 Neighbors help a neighbor, so to speak, here in America.
00:47:34.200 Very much the local response and the response of the churches.
00:47:37.340 We can't forget the power of the churches.
00:47:39.320 That's been a beacon in the community and a beacon in our nation for decades.
00:47:43.340 So it really was the common citizens and the churches as well as the local government that have responded.
00:47:49.400 FEMA was actually, we ran into some of the inept, at best, a response from FEMA.
00:47:57.600 I'm glad that they're saying that they're going to be there for the long haul.
00:48:00.080 I hope they're there for the long haul and do something effective.
00:48:02.980 But it was a local response that was responding to people.
00:48:06.400 And the area that we went into is still so decimated that we actually had to take helicopters in because the roadways were still closed.
00:48:13.060 You told me a story, speaking of FEMA and the response, and this is something that I know that President Trump is going to be working on at every level of government to make sure that any of the inept sort of old way of doing things, the attitudes, whatever it might be, are wiped out.
00:48:34.820 But you told me a story about a woman there in North Carolina that you all had approached, and she asked, who are you with?
00:48:44.000 Are you with FEMA?
00:48:46.320 Because if so, she didn't have some kind words.
00:48:49.700 But she went on to tell you something that someone from FEMA had said to her that absolutely dropped my jaw.
00:48:57.800 I know exactly what you're talking about, Justin.
00:49:02.060 So that was the initial question we would be asked by anybody whose property we approached was, are y'all from FEMA?
00:49:08.720 If so, get the blankety-blank off my property.
00:49:11.480 That's how they responded to FEMA.
00:49:13.460 But one lady, when she realized we were not with FEMA, she cordially invited us in, and she said to me that the FEMA agent had asked her if she had enough food.
00:49:22.760 And she said, yes, ma'am, I do.
00:49:24.460 I got it from down there at the Best Western because people are coming in.
00:49:28.480 And she said, well, did you show ID?
00:49:29.980 She said, ma'am, almost my whole house is blown away and washed away.
00:49:33.460 I didn't have ID.
00:49:35.180 The FEMA agent said, you know, ma'am, I could confiscate your food, and that's what we're going to be doing here.
00:49:40.380 And she said, no, wait a minute.
00:49:41.700 These illegal aliens are able to come in and vote without ID, but I can't get food.
00:49:46.000 She said, ma'am, I can confiscate your food.
00:49:49.940 The lady said, ma'am, you see that yellow house up there?
00:49:53.200 Why don't you start right there?
00:49:55.220 Because you won't go to the second one.
00:49:57.560 That there is my house, and you won't be going to a second one.
00:50:00.920 And then she turned to us, and she said, in these hills, we could lose people real easily.
00:50:05.680 But this FEMA agent had literally told her because she did not show ID to get the food that she could confiscate her food.
00:50:14.220 I can't imagine.
00:50:17.000 You're threatening to take food away from people.
00:50:20.720 In such a vulnerable moment, it's unthinkable.
00:50:25.760 And there's really only one word that comes to mind, and that's evil.
00:50:28.740 It's certainly American.
00:50:31.520 Absolutely.
00:50:32.380 But that's literally, Justin, what we were seeing frequently was the very basic needs of these people were not being met, except for the locals.
00:50:42.340 You know, there are better than 200 families that are still without housing.
00:50:47.280 We're working directly with one lady that has three children, and she is displaced.
00:50:52.620 You know, so we're trying to get these tiny houses built that will house a family of five or six.
00:50:57.200 You know, we're working closely with the churches.
00:50:59.960 We're working with Antioch International Church, which is on the border, South Carolina and North Carolina.
00:51:04.900 But the devastation is so far reaching that these people are still without housing.
00:51:11.920 And those that have their power restored, it's still so temporary.
00:51:16.760 And then, unfortunately, last Sunday with the most recent storm, some of the temporary bridges are washed out again.
00:51:23.000 So it's, you know, two steps forward and three steps back.
00:51:25.940 These people are in dire need.
00:51:29.200 So what needs to be done?
00:51:31.360 Obviously, we have very, very cold temperatures in just days that we'll be sticking around for a while.
00:51:39.660 We're talking freezing, frigid temperatures, maybe more snow in that area.
00:51:44.620 And from what I remember saying, a lot of these folks were given tents.
00:51:48.220 They were told they couldn't have tiny homes or trailers or RVs in different places.
00:51:54.060 There's all kinds of red tape, even some of it local that they were having to deal with as well.
00:52:00.240 But we're talking about dangerous, deadly scenario when it comes to the weather here in just days ahead here.
00:52:07.980 And, Justin, it's not even days ahead.
00:52:09.940 They are mid-storm.
00:52:10.900 When we left in October, on Sugar Mountain had received an inch and a half of snow.
00:52:15.080 And with snow comes the cold temperatures, with the snow comes even greater difficulty in passing on the roads.
00:52:20.880 These people need the very basics.
00:52:22.800 They need housing, safe, warm housing.
00:52:26.480 And to say that, you know, they're not allowed some of these sheds, again, red tape and bureaucratic insufficiency.
00:52:32.900 And it's not.
00:52:34.000 It's not okay.
00:52:35.720 You know, think about being outside now and sleeping outside and doing these things.
00:52:39.580 We need to get these people the very basic of what they need.
00:52:43.000 That's power.
00:52:44.400 That's housing.
00:52:45.460 That's food.
00:52:46.540 But these people are still, many of them, still displaced.
00:52:51.540 I can't imagine.
00:52:54.120 I know that Christmas must have been especially tough for a lot of folks.
00:52:59.060 But there are some good things happening, too.
00:53:00.960 I want to talk about those and what happens when Americans come together.
00:53:04.980 Coming up in just a moment, more questions, and we'll dig into some of the things that you may not have heard anywhere else.
00:53:12.900 Coming up after this, Dr. Sherry, if you can hang for a quick, brief break here.
00:53:17.240 Dr. Sherry O'Donnell is with me.
00:53:19.320 Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:54:22.420 That's Legacy Box dot com slash records.
00:54:24.420 That was the beginning of what has been the longest three months of my life.
00:54:42.160 We've been trying so hard to find something, and there's just been nothing.
00:54:46.800 I feel like we got forgotten.
00:54:50.640 That's a new documentary from folks at Samaritan's Purse, and on the ground there, she's been multiple times and headed back soon, Dr. Sherry O'Donnell, our good friend.
00:55:04.780 She's with Heartbeat Mission, and Dr. Sherry telling us some of the things.
00:55:08.980 I guess I want to really ask you, you know, there's some good things happening there, too.
00:55:12.440 We'll talk about some of the efforts from volunteers and the people, the real-life Americans that are making a difference there.
00:55:20.280 But can you tell me first, what is the one thing that people just aren't hearing about what's happened on the ground or is happening on the ground in North Carolina right now?
00:55:31.920 That people are still without homes and without food in some places.
00:55:37.280 You know, the response by the American people, not FEMA, not the government, was beautiful.
00:55:43.800 But that was in the initial inception of and problem.
00:55:48.460 But these are long-term, these are ongoing situations that we can't forget about these people.
00:55:54.000 So the fact that there are still some without power.
00:55:57.400 So we're trying to get some gas and propane portable tanks in there, and not just ones that you can carry, but they're actually on trailers.
00:56:04.580 That costs about $600 a piece, and that'll actually heat up a community for a little bit.
00:56:10.760 But, Justin, you said something I want to be clear.
00:56:13.400 I was there once, but we're continuing to send teams through Heartbeat Mission, and we're working with the local church.
00:56:18.860 I may or may not be back, but I didn't want the listeners to think that I'd been there multiple times.
00:56:23.980 But the needs are ongoing, and that's what we've got to remember.
00:56:26.740 It's not just a quick fix, and it's not going to be a quick fix.
00:56:30.320 So we need all the way from construction people.
00:56:32.580 We need people that can organize some of the supplies that have come in.
00:56:36.220 We need people that will literally just hand-carry and bring things to some of the residents.
00:56:41.220 We need some of the side-by-side vehicles to go to places that are not otherwise able to be reached still.
00:56:48.280 But I think the big message is we can't forget about it.
00:56:51.680 This is ongoing needs for the people.
00:56:54.660 How do you fix this?
00:56:56.220 I know you're on the outside looking in, but how do you fix something like this?
00:56:59.700 There's a story that's circulating locally in there in North Carolina.
00:57:04.260 A father of two children in Lee County speaking out again after FEMA called,
00:57:10.920 threatening to take his temporary home three days before Christmas.
00:57:16.220 They never showed up, rescheduled for New Year's Eve, and then now showed him again.
00:57:19.760 He says it feels like he doesn't exist.
00:57:21.960 The county father is not starting off 2025 on a good note.
00:57:26.220 He says thanks to FEMA.
00:57:28.280 I'm senior reporter Emily Young, and I first introduced you to Joshua Dockstader right before Christmas,
00:57:33.760 when he was notified just six days prior that FEMA was taking away the trailer he's lived in since May of 2023 on Christmas Eve.
00:57:43.540 And since then, this story has gotten even worse.
00:57:47.240 The timeline of this story is a bit confusing, but after that first phone call,
00:57:52.160 Dockstader took a day off of work to pack up his entire trailer and put every single thing he owns outside.
00:57:59.520 He drove his two very young children up north to be with their grandparents so they could actually have a holiday
00:58:05.400 while he stayed back in Lee County and tried to figure out where they were going to go and what they were going to do.
00:58:11.960 He took another day off of work to be home when FEMA came to take the trailer,
00:58:15.900 but he says that was a waste of a vacation day because they never came.
00:58:20.380 He says FEMA reached out again soon after to tell him they'd be coming on Monday the 30th to pick it up.
00:58:26.180 So again, he took a day off, but that was another waste, he says, because again, they never showed,
00:58:33.040 this time at least canceling mere hours before they were supposed to come.
00:58:37.200 As it stands now, FEMA has told Dockstader to stand by for a new date.
00:58:41.920 So here he sits alone again.
00:58:44.820 Lots of folks standing by, whether it's a situation like this or standing by in North Carolina for other things that FEMA's promised.
00:58:53.240 Do we just need a total overall in this category here?
00:59:00.160 What needs to happen in order to make sure that we've got the right people in place who are making decisions that I don't know,
00:59:08.340 just you and I may look at it as common sense?
00:59:13.000 Unfortunately, Dustin, common sense is not too common amongst our federal government right now.
00:59:18.140 So do we need to dismantle FEMA as it is right now?
00:59:21.260 Yes. What we experienced firsthand was adversarial with FEMA.
00:59:27.140 They stopped us and turned us around when there was no good reason when we were bringing in supplies to a school that had kind of set up as a disposition center.
00:59:36.160 We saw people with FEMA that were just plain adversarial.
00:59:40.460 One of the FEMA agents came in and wanted to start hauling supplies that we had procured and that citizens had given.
00:59:47.100 And they said, no, no, no, this can't be here at the hangar.
00:59:49.460 Like, who are you to come in and say that a private hangar can't make it just a position center for the people?
00:59:54.840 I will say this.
00:59:56.080 Not all the news is bad out of North Carolina.
00:59:59.380 As I mentioned, a lot of it is the people, the real life, everyday folks.
01:00:03.080 The Americans, not the government, who are doing the greatest work.
01:00:09.020 A father and his eight-year-old daughter have been digging residents out of their homes with excavators for three months, free of charge.
01:00:16.220 Here's what she says she's learned.
01:00:18.020 I've been learning that it's best to help people, and you always have to put people first before yourself.
01:00:23.820 When I think of Jake and his company, I just feel like crying, because what they have done for us is just unbelievable.
01:00:32.080 Lydia says the crew has been at her Batcave home site for a week.
01:00:35.760 Do you see the line right there?
01:00:38.220 That's her septic completely out.
01:00:40.780 We moved the river.
01:00:42.060 Jake and his crew also installed a bridge under the water with concrete blocks so crews and the family can get across.
01:00:48.680 We asked how he's doing it.
01:00:50.700 Donations.
01:00:51.220 Donations have topped $100,000.
01:00:54.660 Jake matching them with sweat equity, doubling the hours he works with the donations coming in.
01:01:00.440 His daughter by his side.
01:01:01.920 On Precision's Facebook page, messages like,
01:01:04.560 Jake, you'll go down in the history books as a one-man wrecking machine during such rough times.
01:01:10.740 Jake thanking all who've posted and welcoming help and explaining how to send donations.
01:01:16.160 That is incredible.
01:01:18.700 And I'll tell you, there will be more stories that you will hear over and over again as they come out.
01:01:25.600 But our goal today, just to make sure, as we face a lot in the year ahead of us here,
01:01:30.900 and the crises that are even mounting as we speak, not to let some of these other folks who are still suffering,
01:01:39.860 and they're attempting to recover.
01:01:41.680 Many of them getting back on their feet thanks to the help of people like Dr. Sherry O'Donnell,
01:01:46.420 Samaritan's Purse, Heartbeat Mission, as she just mentioned,
01:01:50.800 Heartbeatmission.org, and Mercury One.
01:01:52.940 Some fantastic folks doing great work.
01:01:56.680 Coming up about of the hour, she warned us that these attacks will be coming in the new year,
01:02:01.720 the ones that we've seen over the weekend.
01:02:03.420 We'll talk about what she said and what could be ahead after this.
01:02:08.100 That's Justin Barkley, justinbarkley.com, back next on the Glenn Beck Program, in for Glenn.
01:02:13.180 Happy New Year.
01:02:24.060 Glenn Beck.
01:02:27.640 Judge Napolitano here.
01:02:29.060 The verdict is in.
01:02:30.000 I've personally seen what goes on in D.C., and we could have some real challenges ahead.
01:02:35.080 Congress can't stop spending money, the Fed can't stop printing money,
01:02:39.100 and our national debt is increasing $1 trillion every 100 days.
01:02:43.680 That's a wealth-destroying pace.
01:02:45.860 Your dollars will buy less, and your retirement could be worth less.
01:02:49.540 That's why gold is so important.
01:02:51.340 It helps hedge against wealth destruction.
01:02:53.340 I did my research, and it led me to gold, and that led me to Lear Capital.
01:02:57.680 Over 25 years of experience, thousands of five-star reviews,
01:03:02.120 and a 24-hour risk-free purchase guarantee.
01:03:04.960 I encourage everyone to call Lear for their free $3,200 gold report at 800-927-2400.
01:03:12.300 There's no obligation, just free education.
01:03:15.000 And ask how you can qualify for up to $15,000 in bonus gold.
01:03:19.500 Call 800-927-2400.
01:03:22.280 That's 800-927-2400.
01:03:25.060 800-927-2400.
01:03:27.680 Glenn Beck.
01:03:30.420 Avoiding the woke mainstream messaging in favor of truth.
01:03:34.140 More Glenn Beck in a moment.
01:03:37.320 She warned of it.
01:03:38.900 She said it was coming.
01:03:40.660 It was on the way.
01:03:43.080 And then it just happened this weekend.
01:03:44.900 So, wait a minute.
01:03:46.080 I just want to clarify.
01:03:47.060 You are 100% certain that there are 1,000-plus Al-Qaeda-trained fighters within the United States borders.
01:03:57.080 Well, Al-Qaeda says they trained and deployed 1,000 for this attack.
01:04:02.660 First off, I think there's more than 1,000 Al-Qaeda members in the United States.
01:04:06.120 But for the homeland attack, that number is based on what Al-Qaeda is saying.
01:04:10.500 So, they could exaggerate it.
01:04:11.780 However, they did have about 1,400 in the Hamas attack.
01:04:15.680 So, the number is not off from what they did in the first round of attack.
01:04:19.740 Sarah Adams on a podcast to Sean Ryan.
01:04:22.900 She's a fantastic show, by the way.
01:04:25.400 Sean does just an amazing job of talking with folks in the know.
01:04:30.140 And Sarah is one of those folks.
01:04:33.520 Former CIA who is warning about what was to come.
01:04:38.740 In fact, it may have already begun.
01:04:40.940 We have some of that picture already with the attack that took place in New Orleans the other day.
01:04:50.680 She warns there may be even more on the way yet ahead.
01:04:54.880 Sarah joins us now on the Glenn Beck program.
01:04:57.000 Sarah, thank you for taking the time to be here.
01:04:58.660 Is this what you were warning about?
01:05:02.020 Yeah, I mean, this is the style I was warning about.
01:05:04.780 You know, I'm hearing rumors that the gentleman, at least in New Orleans,
01:05:08.180 did have some sort of contact, you know, with ISIS-Khorasan province,
01:05:12.600 which is the branch in Pakistan and Afghanistan, in the last month or two.
01:05:17.100 So, it's at least along the plot lines that al-Qaeda has been planning.
01:05:23.700 Well, let's talk about this guy.
01:05:25.980 And actually, there are two attacks.
01:05:27.860 So, let's talk about the attack in New Orleans.
01:05:30.040 So, what we know is that both this individual response for this attack in New Orleans
01:05:35.740 and then another attack that took place at Trump International Hotel
01:05:39.840 where a Cybertruck, a Tesla Cybertruck, was essentially set on fire
01:05:46.900 with the fireworks and gas and all kinds of other things,
01:05:52.200 both perpetrated by apparently men who not only served together in the Army
01:05:58.160 but at the same time at the same base, I guess back in 2013 or somewhere in those times,
01:06:02.680 they both used this Turo app to rent vehicles, both of them electric trucks, to use both.
01:06:11.900 So, there's a lot of coincidences in these.
01:06:14.380 And the question, I guess, might be more so, what do we know about these guys,
01:06:19.680 what they did, and how it maybe ties into some of the things that you've talked about and worried about?
01:06:25.560 Yeah, I would look at these two as two separate instances, right?
01:06:30.620 I think the one in New Orleans is your normal international terrorism.
01:06:35.140 I think the one in Vegas is likely politically motivated domestic terrorism.
01:06:40.400 Yes, both are at Fort Bragg in 2012.
01:06:43.160 But remember, that base has over 50,000 personnel on the base.
01:06:47.560 That's pretty much the size of CIA.
01:06:48.860 So, I served with a lot of people in 2012 in the CIA, right?
01:06:52.480 How many actually sat at a desk next to me?
01:06:55.120 Very few.
01:06:56.280 Also, the Turo app is the number one ride-sharing app in the United States, right?
01:07:02.760 So, that connection is not that valid when you look at it as the most popular app.
01:07:09.360 Also, terrorists are interested in electric vehicles for the fact that they know
01:07:14.920 that fire departments cannot put out the fires in electric vehicles.
01:07:19.280 So, they're choosing to use them because this is a well-known problem with our response.
01:07:25.420 It's very difficult to respond if the vehicle is to catch on fire.
01:07:29.380 So, I would look at them as two different things, but there are some similar modus operandi.
01:07:37.200 So, this is the question about these types of attacks and what attacks may be coming.
01:07:44.080 We are in a very precarious moment in time here in this country.
01:07:47.080 And a lot of things have led up to this moment and the weaknesses and the things that we're dealing with now.
01:07:52.560 Maybe you can talk about some of those things.
01:07:54.620 But whether they're coming from ISIS or Al-Qaeda or even from within, folks have been radicalized politically.
01:08:01.300 It just shows us that we have maybe never before been this vulnerable as we are.
01:08:06.960 What should we take away from that?
01:08:08.380 What should we be doing?
01:08:09.220 Yeah, I mean, I think a big piece, especially involving these two, right, is this division within our own country, right?
01:08:16.860 We kind of are becoming our own worst enemy, and that's a problem.
01:08:20.340 And then, of course, we have led a lot of terrorists into the country over the last three or four years,
01:08:25.100 which I think will be the bulk of the problems we have in 2025, right?
01:08:30.800 So, things are compounding.
01:08:32.460 And, you know, the way we pulled out of Afghanistan has caused damage, if people want to believe it or not, right?
01:08:37.940 Both these individuals involved in attacks yesterday were involved in Afghanistan, right?
01:08:42.940 They had duty, tours of duty there.
01:08:45.220 So, I think there is a point in time now where we take a step back, look at the damage we caused,
01:08:50.780 and figure out how to reverse some of this and then be proactive against the actual terrorist threats as well that are coming forward.
01:08:57.220 Now, I know that they postponed the football game yesterday, the Sugar Bowl, and they could do it today.
01:09:03.760 But I don't know.
01:09:05.760 Part of me, just on the very human side, I tend to want to avoid big crowds and things anyway.
01:09:12.400 That's just me.
01:09:13.560 But I watch and see these things happening, and as vulnerable as we are, my question is now, do I do that?
01:09:20.020 Do I continue to avoid those crowds?
01:09:22.480 What's your advice to the American people?
01:09:23.940 Or do the terrorists win if we do that?
01:09:27.560 It's just a weird sort of rock and a hard place we find ourselves in.
01:09:34.500 Yeah, I mean, I think what really matters is you want to go to venues or locations where you really can trust that the security is up to par.
01:09:43.640 They're doing a good job.
01:09:44.760 I mean, remember the Taylor Swift concert over in Vienna.
01:09:47.960 The attackers were actually hired as guards for the venue, right?
01:09:52.160 So, you also can't trust that some of these big events have the correct security.
01:09:56.780 So, I think what you really need to do is pay attention, right?
01:09:59.820 Make sure you feel comfortable with it.
01:10:01.620 And if you don't, you might want to choose, you know, to not do that.
01:10:05.280 You know, obviously, I know that there is some airline plotting in some of the attacks in 2024, and I may choose not to, you know, take some flights as a result.
01:10:14.640 Now, I don't think it's a terrorist win if you make a personal decision for your own security, right?
01:10:21.840 I think we need to be alert.
01:10:23.040 We need to be aware.
01:10:24.140 We need to prepare.
01:10:25.080 And as we saw in New Orleans, we need to know how to do first aid so we can help people if there is an incident around us.
01:10:31.100 All right, so that's something that I've seen and I believe is something that I personally want to add to my list of being prepared for things is just being able to take care of people.
01:10:43.820 First aid is a great way to do that and what I might need to do and to look into that.
01:10:48.720 Maybe you can give us some tips on that.
01:10:50.220 But also, you know, just double-checking, triple-checking, making sure because in scenarios like in New Orleans, it would have never happened if they would have had the security bollards up.
01:11:00.820 And as we were told, they were being repaired or prepared for the Super Bowl or something along those lines.
01:11:07.300 I don't know the full details on this.
01:11:10.140 We still got, I'm sure, more and more will come out as time goes on.
01:11:13.820 But, you know, just when you think, because I think a lot of us have sort of been lulled into that safety and security the last few years of thinking, well, somebody's got that or it's taken care of.
01:11:22.800 That may not be the case.
01:11:25.140 Yeah, we have become complacent, right?
01:11:27.200 Even think about it.
01:11:28.100 A lot of our law enforcement departments got really good training after 9-11, but when's the last time they were trained?
01:11:35.080 Even like maybe some of their equipment, when's the last time like their gas masks, you know, the filters have been changed.
01:11:41.120 Like all these basic things, we have gotten lazy, and the enemy is going to take advantage of that complacency.
01:11:47.380 And obviously, you shouldn't be repairing a barrier and not have it ready for an event like New Year's, right?
01:11:53.580 I mean, this is a huge problem.
01:11:55.340 The other thing that you asked about, you know, is first aid.
01:11:58.160 And one thing we like to recommend is stop the bleed because it's very easy to get.
01:12:02.240 You can usually call your local fire department, and there's usually free courses in your area.
01:12:07.720 So it's a simple program to go through that's super helpful.
01:12:12.980 Sarah Adams with us right now, and I want to talk, if I can, a little bit more to dig into this threat of what you see coming in the days ahead,
01:12:22.660 the reports that you've received, and what people should know.
01:12:25.740 Obviously, these are tense times, and who knows what's going to happen up until the time that Donald Trump lays his hand on that Bible and is sworn in.
01:12:35.520 It's going to be a very precarious, tumultuous moment in time.
01:12:39.320 But then we're not completely off free after that.
01:12:43.180 But there's going to be a lot of, from then on all, there's going to be a lot of time where people are going to,
01:12:51.300 and there are folks that don't want him to succeed, don't want America to succeed.
01:12:55.420 And these are things that we all ought to be aware of.
01:12:57.480 If you can hang with us, Sarah, I would love to continue the conversation and talk a little bit more about your warning,
01:13:03.000 how folks can hear more about it, and get ready, no matter what's coming up ahead.
01:13:09.220 Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:13:11.900 You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck.
01:13:16.860 Sit tight, boys and girls.
01:13:18.360 We'll be right back after these messages.
01:13:34.120 The new year is a time of reflection on the past year and hope for the year to come.
01:13:38.720 Last year was a turbulent time for Israel and the Jewish people, the devastating and ongoing multi-front war,
01:13:45.100 an unprecedented rise in global anti-Semitism, and the loss of many Jewish lives.
01:13:49.840 But there has also been an uprising of love and support from you, the listeners,
01:13:53.880 and by the organization, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
01:13:58.180 Your support of IFCJ has saved lives and answered prayers.
01:14:01.560 Thanks to the generosity of people in the United States, bomb shelters have been built and placed,
01:14:06.840 life-saving food and emergency supplies have been provided to evacuees and those in critical need,
01:14:12.000 and protective gear and medical equipment has been distributed to first responders on the front lines.
01:14:17.000 There is still more work to do.
01:14:18.980 Join the movement of those who have raised their voices to support Israel and the Jewish people.
01:14:23.980 We ask you to continue your prayers and ongoing support today by visiting supportifcj.org.
01:14:30.500 That's one word, supportifcj.org.
01:14:34.100 Sarah Adams is here with us now.
01:14:45.780 She warned against the attacks, said they were coming.
01:14:48.440 Want to find out a little bit more about that.
01:14:49.960 Actually written about it in the book and talked about it with Sean Ryan.
01:14:54.960 Fantastic podcast.
01:14:56.020 Check that out.
01:14:56.720 Benghazi knows thy enemy, a cold case investigation.
01:14:59.300 That's part of the book that she's got out right now.
01:15:01.100 Sarah, thank you for taking the time to talk this through with us.
01:15:04.560 We don't have a lot of time left, but just tell us, again, the threat is from ISIS and al-Qaeda
01:15:11.100 and that there were attacks planned for this year.
01:15:15.960 Yeah, they basically planned a number of attacks.
01:15:18.920 There'll be a series of lone wolf attacks, which kind of split law enforcement's focus,
01:15:24.160 and then there's going to be a large event, swarming, multi-city mass casualty events.
01:15:29.700 And that'll be kind of the culmination of everything.
01:15:33.820 The one thing the two groups are focused on this year, that there will be no peace in America.
01:15:38.680 I want to give a quote really quick by Osama bin Laden's son.
01:15:42.420 What American allies fear the most is that we take the battlefield from Kabul, Baghdad, and Gaza to Washington, London, Paris, and Tel Aviv,
01:15:51.700 Tel Aviv, and to take it to all the American, Jewish, and Western interests in the world.
01:15:57.180 And all four of those cities I discussed have active and operational plots ongoing right now.
01:16:02.600 So we need to take what they're saying seriously.
01:16:05.960 Obviously, the open border hasn't helped with any of this, but you talk about the plots or the attacks and what they might look like.
01:16:12.600 What are some of the ideas of what these things might look like?
01:16:17.120 Yeah, so they have a number of things planned.
01:16:21.380 One is basically suicide bombers.
01:16:24.800 They're going to have about 10% of their attackers be suicide bombers.
01:16:28.300 That's something we've really not seen in the United States.
01:16:30.820 Another thing is they're planning to bomb airliners again, multiple airliners at once,
01:16:35.800 kind of like the plot that was forwarded in 2006.
01:16:39.120 Another thing is, is they want almost like, I don't know if you would call it street fights,
01:16:45.560 but they're called Fideon attackers, so attackers in the streets that will fight to the death.
01:16:50.440 And then the last kind of pieces is they want to bring in a number of the different styles,
01:16:55.380 vehicle ramming, knife attacks, and then vehicle-borne, you know, explosive devices, right?
01:17:02.740 So they have a lot planned coming forward to us.
01:17:06.080 And they've also invented this thing called the invisible bomb.
01:17:09.180 They've been talking about it for years.
01:17:11.000 They actually did a plot about it several years ago that the Saudis helped us sort,
01:17:15.580 but they've now advanced this invisible bomb into vest form.
01:17:19.840 And now they can walk into airports and buildings, et cetera,
01:17:23.560 and you won't even know that they have a vest on.
01:17:26.060 So I can imagine to a lot of folks listening to this, it's terrifying.
01:17:32.020 But we can't stick our head under the sand.
01:17:34.720 That's not an effective way to deal with this.
01:17:37.520 How does America deal with it moving forward personally in our lives
01:17:41.420 and, of course, at the very top as President Trump has headed on his way in?
01:17:46.480 Yeah, I mean, I think we need to be proactive and get our security standards
01:17:49.880 back up to where they used to be post-9-11, right?
01:17:52.400 We've gotten really lapsed.
01:17:54.060 With these vests, for example, going in the airports,
01:17:56.820 if you put everybody through the millimeter wave scanners, it'll sort the plot.
01:18:02.200 Right now we have it, oh, everybody with pre-check goes just through the metal detector
01:18:06.200 and then all the people get off the other wave scanners.
01:18:08.940 No, like make it mandatory, everybody goes through it.
01:18:11.620 Like there's things that we've gotten laxed on because people have complained about it
01:18:15.520 and it's time we stopped doing that and we tightened back up.
01:18:20.020 Oh.
01:18:20.460 I know that people are going to be hearing this thinking the same thing, just the audible sigh.
01:18:32.100 Where can people stay up to date with you?
01:18:34.060 Because this is a conversation, again, that really it needs to take place over a long period of time
01:18:39.480 and back and forth.
01:18:41.920 Where can people stay up to date with you?
01:18:43.440 I know you do some great work online.
01:18:44.820 Yeah, so my Twitter is TPA Sarah.
01:18:49.620 We're going to be launching in the next three or four weeks a part of my network.
01:18:53.800 And then if you know Scott Mann, he ran Task Force Pineapple.
01:18:57.400 We're going to be running an initiative called The Gathering Storm.
01:19:00.360 So we're going to start putting out content on that.
01:19:02.360 And that's going to give the public kind of a framework of what threats we're seeing coming forward in the year ahead
01:19:08.880 and then how law enforcement, the community, and just everyday individuals can prepare themselves and get ahead.
01:19:15.200 And then over on Instagram, we run a page that's called Askari Media Group, A-S-K-A-R-I Media Group.
01:19:23.440 And that's where we actually do a lot of things where we talk about specific components of the plot and how to prepare
01:19:29.260 because a lot of the terrorist groups actually have Instagram banned.
01:19:32.980 So it's a better avenue to have some of those discussions with the American public.
01:19:39.000 Sarah Adams, former CIA.
01:19:40.740 And, of course, you can follow her online at TPA Sarah over on X.
01:19:45.780 Back with more next hour on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:19:47.960 Justin Barclay.
01:19:48.720 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:20:02.980 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:20:32.980 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:20:37.080 Loud and clear.
01:20:38.380 Never a dull moment.
01:20:40.220 And, man, oh, man.
01:20:43.700 The home of truth, logic, and common sense has never been more important.
01:20:47.760 In fact, look, if starting to feel overwhelmed, 2025 off to a bang, maybe not the way we'd expected it to be.
01:20:54.660 A lot of hope coming into this year, but starting to see a bit of a shadow creeping in.
01:20:59.400 And how do we make sure that we keep our heart right during these times and what could be ahead?
01:21:08.180 These attacks the last couple of days and the warnings of more on the horizon.
01:21:13.320 We'll talk about that coming up.
01:21:15.780 In fact, I got some good news we want to share with you, too.
01:21:18.500 On the way, don't get discouraged.
01:21:19.980 Justin Barclay in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:21:22.200 With New Year's resolutions, many of us will vow to eat healthier, and that's a good thing.
01:21:32.500 But what about your beloved pets and their nutrition?
01:21:35.240 Where's their RFK?
01:21:36.880 Am I right?
01:21:38.260 Well, naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black is actually their RFK.
01:21:42.200 He's on a mission to provide better nutrition for cats and dogs.
01:21:45.120 Because truthfully, what we're feeding our pets, most of it, is not good.
01:21:49.580 And we're not feeding them what they need, which is why he created Rough Greens and Meow Greens.
01:21:54.600 Bring your pet's dead food back to life with live vitamins, minerals, probiotics, enzymes, omega oils, antioxidants, and so much more.
01:22:03.100 It's tasty to the dogs and the cats.

01:22:33.840 Well, the news, it never stops.
01:22:37.400 And the news of the last few days.
01:22:39.780 Well, it's really tough to deal with some of this stuff.
01:22:45.100 Especially now, we just got this breaking story in.
01:22:48.140 CNN now reporting the driver of the Cybertruck and the explosion there at Trump Hotel in Las Vegas
01:22:54.460 was an active-duty Green Beret.
01:22:57.920 This is incredible.
01:23:01.480 Haley has confirmed in just the last few minutes that he is an active-duty U.S. Special Forces soldier
01:23:07.620 assigned to 10th Special Forces Group, according to four U.S. officials,
01:23:12.200 that he holds the rank of Master Sergeant, a senior enlisted rank, these officials said.
01:23:17.800 Three officials said he was on active duty serving in Germany,
01:23:21.840 and he was on leave when this happened on New Year's Day.
01:23:26.020 He has not been identified publicly, and authorities are still trying to work out
01:23:31.320 whether this was a terrorist attack.
01:23:33.920 Now, just to recap a little bit of what happened behind us just 24 hours ago, approximately,
01:23:39.500 there are still police presence here around the valet area of where you pull into the Trump
01:23:43.920 International Hotel just off of the Vegas Strip.
01:23:46.780 This Cybertruck that he allegedly rented was rented from Colorado from the Turo rental platform.
01:23:56.320 Authorities say that he drove it here to Las Vegas by 7.30 a.m. on New Year's Day,
01:24:01.500 that he drove up and down the Strip, and then about an hour before the explosion,
01:24:06.220 drove past the Trump Hotel as well.
01:24:09.040 And police did make note that the damage was really limited
01:24:13.940 because of the body construction of this Tesla Cybertruck.
01:24:18.460 Okay, so, a lot to take in there.
01:24:22.840 But this man was an active duty Green Beret Special Force.
01:24:28.640 This is, you know, these are heavy, heavy stories.
01:24:32.800 This is heavy news.
01:24:34.000 And I wanted to, initially, when I invited our next guest,
01:24:38.820 and I wanted to talk in a little more positive note about what is to come,
01:24:41.760 but I still think we can do that.
01:24:44.440 Looking back in the history of this nation, I will tell you,
01:24:46.900 I see even in some of the chaos of the storm that's swirling around us right now,
01:24:51.900 I see some bright, shining moments, some glimpses of glory,
01:24:56.840 and maybe even miracles.
01:24:59.280 A great example is that truck there, that attack, that explosion looks like,
01:25:06.540 at least appears.
01:25:08.320 The attempt was meant to do much more damage than it did.
01:25:14.160 There was a signal, a political signal probably being sent
01:25:17.240 by doing this at the Trump Towerman in a Cybertruck from Elon Musk, Tesla.
01:25:24.280 But that same Cybertruck may have, in fact, as you just heard,
01:25:30.260 the CNN reporter mentioned may have actually dampened the damage.
01:25:38.420 William Federer is with us right now.
01:25:40.220 Bill is a nationally known speaker, best-selling author,
01:25:43.100 host of American Minute Radio,
01:25:44.640 features in faith and history TV program, airs daily.
01:25:47.880 He joins us now.
01:25:50.060 And, Bill, thank you for taking the time to be here with us today.
01:25:53.080 Well, hey, Justin, great to be with you.
01:25:55.940 I wanted to initially talk to you about, really,
01:25:59.360 the direction the country is headed in, the election,
01:26:02.360 and, of course, looking forward to the new year
01:26:04.740 with a little more of a positive spin.
01:26:06.400 I really still want to stay in that zone,
01:26:08.740 but I want to really lean into this news of the last few days
01:26:13.820 because it does appear we've got some dark days ahead in some ways,
01:26:19.480 but we've been through much of this.
01:26:22.400 If we do look back, faith in history,
01:26:25.340 if we look back in the history of our country,
01:26:27.680 we've been through much of these dark days already,
01:26:30.620 and we've come out on the other end.
01:26:33.500 That's a bit of encouragement, I guess, I could use.
01:26:35.720 Maybe you can walk us through what that may look like in the year ahead.
01:26:41.360 Yeah.
01:26:41.680 Well, you know, a couple years ago, I did a show with Charlie Kirk,
01:26:44.920 and he said, what do you consider the biggest threat to America?
01:26:48.900 And I said, critical race theory in the military.
01:26:51.380 And he got quiet for a second.
01:26:52.720 It's like, oh, that's not what I had on the top of my head.
01:26:55.640 But what we've been doing since really Obama, but Biden,
01:26:59.280 is anybody with traditional American values was being forced out of the military.
01:27:04.460 And they began to bring in all the LGBTQ and now the non-legacy enrollments,
01:27:13.440 so the old-fashioned where the granddad served and the dad served and the son wants to serve.
01:27:18.460 But the DEI, the critical race theory, has been used to allow into the military people
01:27:25.780 that don't hold the same values that we do.
01:27:28.440 And I was with Frank Gaffney not too long ago,
01:27:32.300 and he was saying that he's concerned about mainland China.
01:27:37.260 And there's a program in the military where non-citizens are recruited into the U.S. military.
01:27:44.260 I said, say that again?
01:27:45.480 He goes, yes, yes, non-citizens are recruited into the U.S. military to help them become citizens,
01:27:52.480 to help them become citizens.
01:27:54.060 And he said, yeah, in Southern California, there's actually an Army recruitment center
01:27:58.500 run by Chinese-speaking mainland Chinese,
01:28:02.700 recruiting Chinese that are not citizens into our U.S. military.
01:28:06.880 And he said, now we have, across America,
01:28:10.440 people serving that are not holding the same values that we traditionally had.
01:28:17.120 And then jihadis, beginning with Obama.
01:28:19.600 We see a whole lot of people with jihadi.
01:28:21.920 Remember the Fort Hood, Texas,
01:28:23.740 and there's an Army person that starts killing all the other Americans,
01:28:28.440 and then they go to the bend over backwards to say,
01:28:31.620 well, we're trying to figure out, see, you have psychological problems.
01:28:34.140 It's like they don't want to identify, it's the program.
01:28:37.540 We have hardware problems, we have software problems.
01:28:39.720 It's a software problem.
01:28:41.220 There's a mind virus, to use Elon Musk's term.
01:28:44.980 And so we need to identify this mind virus and purge it
01:28:50.040 and realize that we should only have people in the military
01:28:52.680 that want to preserve the traditional American values,
01:28:55.220 which backdoors us into the concept of what is a traditional American value.
01:29:00.300 And none other than Eisenhower, right?
01:29:02.820 He's the supreme allied commander during World War II.
01:29:06.160 And he said this,
01:29:07.760 recognition of the supreme being is the first,
01:29:11.480 the most basic expression of Americanism.
01:29:14.740 So if we're going to boil down to just the most basic common denominator in America,
01:29:21.960 it's we all believe in God.
01:29:23.360 And now this is a God of the Bible.
01:29:26.320 Why do I say that?
01:29:27.060 Because it's the only God that believes everyone's created equal.
01:29:30.960 The other ones, if you're an Islamist,
01:29:34.900 if you're a faithful Muslim, you're worth more than an infidel.
01:29:37.700 In a Hindu caste system, if you're a Brahmin,
01:29:40.480 you're worth more than a Dalit, untouchable in the lowest caste.
01:29:43.260 If you hold an atheistic religion,
01:29:45.220 and yes, that is defined,
01:29:47.580 atheism is defined as a religion by the Supreme Court.
01:29:50.460 In socialist countries,
01:29:51.680 your worth is dependent on your utility to the state,
01:29:54.940 where only the Judeo-Christian belief system is that you have worth
01:29:58.660 because you're made in the image of God, period.
01:30:01.520 Whether you contribute or not,
01:30:02.920 whether you're in some class or caste system or not,
01:30:05.760 you're made in the image of God.
01:30:06.800 And according to Eisenhower,
01:30:07.900 this is the most basic common denominator,
01:30:10.620 the basic expression of Americanism.
01:30:12.020 We need to return back to what identifies us as a nation.
01:30:17.120 And that's it.
01:30:19.660 So let's talk about those things.
01:30:22.400 And do you think, because this last year, I think,
01:30:25.740 boy, I never thought I'd see something.
01:30:28.560 I thought, if we, as much as we've heard of it,
01:30:34.000 well, if we humble ourselves and, you know,
01:30:37.620 it happened.
01:30:39.320 If we turn to God, turn away from our wicked ways
01:30:43.140 and repent and all of those things that he would hear from us,
01:30:47.120 and here we are,
01:30:48.260 I think we've been given a chance.
01:30:50.220 It's not over,
01:30:51.460 but we've certainly been given a chance.
01:30:53.100 We saw miracles happen last year.
01:30:54.920 The fact that President Trump survived that attempt on his,
01:30:59.320 both attempts on his lives,
01:31:01.420 it's just incredible to see what we've gone through.
01:31:05.360 There is some hope.
01:31:07.000 I just, I don't know that folks realize
01:31:10.720 that the fight has just begun, Bill.
01:31:14.640 Right.
01:31:15.440 You know, I speak a lot around the country.
01:31:17.860 I speak a lot in churches,
01:31:18.740 and I tell people, you know,
01:31:19.760 if we get through this problem,
01:31:20.980 there'll be another one.
01:31:22.260 If we get through that problem,
01:31:23.800 there'll be another one.
01:31:24.520 It's sort of like the human condition,
01:31:26.620 and I sort of zoom out,
01:31:28.100 and I say, well,
01:31:28.600 it's sort of God has plan A and plan B.
01:31:30.480 Plan A is he blesses us.
01:31:31.780 We turn to him out of gratefulness.
01:31:33.300 If that does not work, there's plan B.
01:31:35.900 It says he gives us over to our own devices,
01:31:38.260 and then when things get bad,
01:31:39.560 we turn to him out of desperation.
01:31:41.740 The goal is to have us turn to him,
01:31:43.800 but when you look at American history,
01:31:47.460 my wife and I put together a series of books
01:31:49.280 called Miracles in American History.
01:31:52.360 During the colonial times,
01:31:55.180 when they would have a famine,
01:31:57.560 they would declare a day of fasting,
01:31:59.280 and then a ship would pull into the harbor,
01:32:00.940 and they would say,
01:32:01.500 cancel that,
01:32:01.940 we're going to have a day of Thanksgiving.
01:32:03.260 But it was this idea that God responds to our prayers.
01:32:07.120 There was a cholera epidemic in 1849.
01:32:09.940 150,000 Americans died of cholera,
01:32:13.200 and President Zachary Taylor in 1849
01:32:15.760 declares a national day of humiliation,
01:32:18.340 fasting, and prayer to Almighty God.
01:32:20.000 By the end of the month,
01:32:21.420 the death rates drop off.
01:32:23.020 You had a threatened war with France,
01:32:25.560 and President John Adams had a day of fasting and prayer.
01:32:29.820 You had James Madison.
01:32:31.200 When the British burnt the White House
01:32:32.760 during the War of 1812,
01:32:34.260 James Madison had a day of fasting and prayer.
01:32:37.520 You had Lincoln had two days of fasting and prayer
01:32:39.680 during the Civil War.
01:32:41.080 Even Woodrow Wilson had a day of fasting and prayer
01:32:43.600 when we entered World War I.
01:32:44.980 And you had Roosevelt passing out Gideon's New Testament
01:32:49.840 and Book of Psalms to all the soldiers in World War I.
01:32:53.000 You had President Harry S. Truman
01:32:54.780 making the national day of prayer an annual event.
01:32:58.280 And Reagan made it the first Thursday in May.
01:33:00.680 We've always been a country
01:33:02.480 that in times of crisis,
01:33:04.300 we turn to God.
01:33:06.380 And I think we need to respond,
01:33:08.740 and I think we have been responding.
01:33:10.360 And I totally agree with you.
01:33:11.760 It was a miracle that Trump was not assassinated.
01:33:13.660 I believe it was a miracle from my point of view
01:33:16.700 on Election Day
01:33:17.660 that he won the popular vote
01:33:19.680 and won so resoundingly
01:33:21.740 when the psychological operation
01:33:25.520 of the mainstream media was in full gear
01:33:27.460 trying to cover up all the things
01:33:33.800 that were being done on the other side
01:33:35.360 from cocaine in the White House
01:33:37.840 to all these other stories
01:33:39.360 that sort of get pushed aside.
01:33:40.760 that they were doing their best
01:33:43.140 to do their spin,
01:33:44.360 but with this overwhelming response
01:33:46.540 with a Trump victory.
01:33:47.620 To me, I think that was a part
01:33:50.240 of God answering our prayers.
01:33:53.060 Personally, I think the church involvement
01:33:55.040 is critical.
01:33:56.400 I think the concept of,
01:33:59.380 oh, our kingdom's not of this world,
01:34:01.680 and we're not going to get involved.
01:34:03.040 And I wrote a book called Silence Equals Consent,
01:34:05.280 where the same way you're silent
01:34:07.460 at a wedding ceremony,
01:34:08.340 you're giving consent to the wedding vows.
01:34:10.960 Well, guess what?
01:34:11.440 If church members are silent
01:34:12.500 when there's evils going on in the community,
01:34:14.100 they're giving their consent.
01:34:15.640 And if you give consent,
01:34:16.540 you're an accessory
01:34:17.140 and you'll share in the judgment.
01:34:19.320 And I think this idea of,
01:34:21.820 oh, we're spiritual,
01:34:22.660 we don't get involved,
01:34:23.560 that's being stripped away.
01:34:24.980 You're not being spiritual.
01:34:26.060 You're giving your consent
01:34:27.100 to all that evil.
01:34:28.240 And churches are beginning to wake up,
01:34:30.040 and I think that's critical
01:34:30.960 to the future of our country.
01:34:33.540 You're getting into a little bit,
01:34:35.100 I think,
01:34:35.740 at least the direction
01:34:36.620 that we need to head next.
01:34:39.440 And I want to do this,
01:34:41.080 as Bill Federer joins us right now
01:34:42.960 with the latest,
01:34:44.340 and of course,
01:34:45.000 response to this attack,
01:34:46.160 of course,
01:34:47.240 what may be ahead in 2025
01:34:49.180 and beyond for this country
01:34:50.940 and how we should prepare ourselves
01:34:53.460 and the country.
01:34:54.660 And I think maybe the question
01:34:56.240 I want to ask you next, Bill,
01:34:57.340 is how do we guard our hearts
01:34:58.520 around all these,
01:34:59.320 the news reports
01:35:00.400 that may come out
01:35:01.020 if we are indeed in for a fight
01:35:03.280 and some maybe dark days ahead
01:35:04.780 as we've seen the last few days
01:35:06.060 with these attacks,
01:35:07.160 what do we do to make sure
01:35:08.340 that we are preparing ourselves
01:35:09.960 individually and spiritually
01:35:12.640 for those things as well?
01:35:14.240 Because again,
01:35:14.980 I think, look,
01:35:16.100 we need to know what's going on.
01:35:17.520 Don't stick your head in the sand.
01:35:19.540 But at the same time,
01:35:20.800 we've got to make sure
01:35:21.520 that we're walking forward,
01:35:22.880 I think,
01:35:23.480 with a little hope,
01:35:24.300 with some faith,
01:35:25.020 encouragement,
01:35:25.500 make sure we're on the right track.
01:35:27.720 How do we do that?
01:35:28.580 We'll take a quick break
01:35:29.540 and be back with Bill
01:35:30.360 after this
01:35:31.060 on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:35:32.160 Justin Barkley back next.
01:35:35.260 The older I get,
01:35:36.280 the more I think about trust.
01:35:38.060 I think about the people in my life
01:35:39.520 who have my trust
01:35:40.620 and earned my trust
01:35:42.000 and the trust
01:35:43.220 that I have placed
01:35:43.900 in some people
01:35:44.500 who I later learned
01:35:45.640 abused that trust.
01:35:47.100 I know we're alike in that way.
01:35:48.480 We don't trust
01:35:49.100 a lot of people anymore.
01:35:50.340 It's like we're all
01:35:51.240 Ronald Reagan trust
01:35:52.180 but always verify
01:35:53.220 to make sure
01:35:53.980 we're not making a mistake.
01:35:55.480 I find it a little exhausting,
01:35:57.140 quite honestly,
01:35:57.660 and that's why I started
01:35:58.460 realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:36:34.700 Back with Bill Federer
01:36:45.380 and the question is,
01:36:47.120 is this,
01:36:48.720 Bill,
01:36:49.260 how do we guard our hearts?
01:36:50.560 How do we make sure
01:36:51.200 we prepare ourselves
01:36:52.280 and that we're doing
01:36:53.500 all the right things
01:36:54.460 if we do face a fight
01:36:55.860 in the dark days
01:36:57.460 that may possibly be ahead?
01:36:59.480 How do we make sure
01:37:00.840 that we get through this
01:37:02.420 as a country
01:37:03.300 but also,
01:37:04.660 you know,
01:37:04.900 as a dad,
01:37:05.740 you know,
01:37:06.520 and my family,
01:37:07.360 how do I guide them
01:37:08.280 through it all?
01:37:10.380 Well,
01:37:10.940 I'm reminded of Isaiah 6-8
01:37:13.000 that says,
01:37:13.460 here I am,
01:37:13.980 Lord,
01:37:14.260 send me.
01:37:15.380 In other words,
01:37:16.080 the goal is not
01:37:16.940 to tiptoe through life
01:37:18.120 without having
01:37:18.920 to face problems.
01:37:20.560 What are the stories
01:37:21.480 we love best?
01:37:23.060 In the Bible,
01:37:24.080 it's Moses,
01:37:25.220 an 80-year-old man
01:37:26.320 standing up
01:37:26.920 to the most powerful
01:37:27.680 military leader,
01:37:28.900 the Pharaoh
01:37:29.320 and his,
01:37:29.740 you know,
01:37:30.740 chariots,
01:37:31.400 or David
01:37:32.480 against Goliath,
01:37:33.920 or Gideon
01:37:34.900 with 300
01:37:36.560 against 100,000 Midianites.
01:37:38.660 I mean,
01:37:38.920 we love the stories
01:37:40.240 of when things
01:37:41.400 look hopeless
01:37:42.060 and God raises up
01:37:43.700 little nobodies
01:37:44.300 with faith and courage.
01:37:46.000 You know,
01:37:46.240 Esther,
01:37:46.640 whether I die,
01:37:47.400 I die,
01:37:47.800 I'm going to go in
01:37:48.340 and see the king.
01:37:49.720 These are the stories
01:37:50.620 we remember,
01:37:51.200 and guess what?
01:37:51.640 This is just our turn.
01:37:53.100 And so,
01:37:53.480 this is a time
01:37:54.840 for people
01:37:55.620 to realize
01:37:56.780 that we are called
01:37:58.780 to let God's will
01:38:00.360 be done on earth
01:38:00.980 as it is in heaven
01:38:02.080 that we want him
01:38:02.960 to use us.
01:38:04.680 And,
01:38:04.860 you know,
01:38:06.540 I,
01:38:07.620 so the battle
01:38:08.780 is for
01:38:09.920 the mental attitude,
01:38:13.140 the spiritual attitude.
01:38:14.600 And I think
01:38:16.000 that when we realize
01:38:17.100 that you were born
01:38:18.260 for such a time
01:38:19.000 as this,
01:38:19.460 that out of all
01:38:20.320 of recorded history,
01:38:21.520 the good Lord
01:38:22.120 decided for,
01:38:22.960 you know,
01:38:23.540 you that's listening
01:38:24.260 to be alive right now.
01:38:25.500 And so,
01:38:26.640 what's his plan for you?
01:38:28.280 Is it just,
01:38:29.420 you know,
01:38:30.420 every now and then
01:38:31.860 my wife flips channels
01:38:32.760 and we were watching one
01:38:33.820 where it was,
01:38:34.980 you know,
01:38:35.400 people buying
01:38:36.940 little places
01:38:37.920 in the Bahamas.
01:38:38.900 And we're like,
01:38:39.440 oh,
01:38:39.580 that's a cool place,
01:38:40.320 that's a cool place.
01:38:41.000 And I thought,
01:38:41.440 you know,
01:38:41.620 if we lived there,
01:38:42.800 I'd probably,
01:38:43.740 you know,
01:38:44.440 sit out there
01:38:45.040 and look at the ways
01:38:46.420 for,
01:38:46.980 you know,
01:38:47.300 a couple days.
01:38:48.680 And after a week
01:38:49.620 or two,
01:38:50.080 I'd,
01:38:50.360 you know,
01:38:50.480 ride a bike
01:38:51.060 around the whole
01:38:51.620 little island.
01:38:52.180 And,
01:38:52.960 you know,
01:38:53.240 but after like a month
01:38:54.160 or two,
01:38:54.440 I'd be like,
01:38:55.120 I'm going crazy.
01:38:56.460 I need to be part
01:38:58.100 of the fight.
01:38:59.040 There's something
01:38:59.820 on the inside of me,
01:39:00.700 especially in men anyway,
01:39:02.360 where little boys
01:39:03.560 want to play,
01:39:04.820 you know,
01:39:05.300 sports.
01:39:06.320 They want to play
01:39:07.040 army men.
01:39:07.780 They want to compete.
01:39:10.400 And I'm one of 11 kids.
01:39:12.320 I have five brothers
01:39:13.020 and five sisters.
01:39:14.020 Right.
01:39:14.420 And if there wasn't
01:39:15.700 anything to fight about,
01:39:16.580 we'd make something
01:39:17.440 to fight about.
01:39:18.340 And then we play
01:39:18.800 afterwards,
01:39:19.360 but it's like,
01:39:20.000 there's something
01:39:20.600 that just,
01:39:22.240 and I think we're just
01:39:23.300 get to be a part
01:39:24.120 of this big fight
01:39:25.700 with eternal consequences.
01:39:28.240 And,
01:39:28.360 and so the battle
01:39:30.060 is over our,
01:39:30.860 our attitude.
01:39:31.820 And,
01:39:32.380 and I think we can do it.
01:39:34.360 And I think Trump
01:39:35.160 is amazing.
01:39:36.500 I can't,
01:39:37.300 I'm 67,
01:39:39.140 but here's somebody
01:39:40.180 that's older than I am
01:39:41.120 and he's got
01:39:41.440 unbounding energy
01:39:42.680 and,
01:39:43.540 and he has to,
01:39:45.040 they make him pay
01:39:45.880 $450 million
01:39:47.020 and some fine
01:39:48.340 that everybody knows
01:39:49.140 was lawfare and made up.
01:39:50.680 And how does somebody
01:39:51.920 do that and keep
01:39:52.600 bouncing back every day?
01:39:54.060 But I think he's
01:39:55.160 stirring that attitude up,
01:39:56.540 not just in America,
01:39:58.140 but around the world.
01:39:59.140 And,
01:39:59.700 and so one person
01:40:01.040 can make a difference
01:40:01.900 and,
01:40:02.240 and we're called
01:40:02.980 to be each one of us,
01:40:04.560 one of those people.
01:40:07.220 Bill Federer
01:40:08.100 is the author
01:40:09.580 and the radio host
01:40:10.640 and the speaker
01:40:11.380 that you're hearing right now.
01:40:12.560 You can find more
01:40:13.700 Bill Federer
01:40:14.880 over on X,
01:40:16.000 and AmericanMinute.com.
01:40:17.780 Bill,
01:40:18.020 thank you for taking
01:40:18.760 the time to be here
01:40:19.620 with us and some,
01:40:21.040 I think,
01:40:21.440 great reminders
01:40:22.400 of the hope
01:40:23.340 and encouragement
01:40:23.880 and perspective.
01:40:24.920 Look,
01:40:25.180 if,
01:40:25.420 if you're in the fight
01:40:26.280 and you're meant
01:40:27.040 to be here right now,
01:40:28.300 it's something
01:40:29.140 that we ought
01:40:29.720 to get excited about.
01:40:32.900 Yeah,
01:40:33.380 I,
01:40:33.580 I totally agree.
01:40:34.400 You know,
01:40:34.620 one other thing
01:40:35.200 is Department of Education
01:40:36.320 was started by Jimmy Carter.
01:40:37.860 We know Jimmy
01:40:38.680 because he gave away
01:40:39.280 the Panama Canal
01:40:39.980 and gave Iran
01:40:40.780 to the Ayatollah.
01:40:42.460 But the Department
01:40:43.320 of Education
01:40:43.980 has been focusing
01:40:45.180 on behavior modification,
01:40:47.000 social-emotional learning,
01:40:49.220 more or less brainwashing,
01:40:51.740 and we need to get back
01:40:53.700 to teaching the truth.
01:40:55.460 And so the battle is
01:40:56.240 who gets to load the software
01:40:57.580 in the next generation's brains,
01:40:58.860 and it's our job
01:40:59.700 to put good,
01:41:01.080 godly values
01:41:01.760 onto those kids' minds.
01:41:03.820 Such an important conversation
01:41:05.120 and one,
01:41:05.800 unfortunately,
01:41:06.420 we don't have time
01:41:07.320 to get through
01:41:07.760 all the facets of it today.
01:41:09.260 But Bill will do more of that
01:41:11.580 in the books
01:41:12.120 that he's written
01:41:12.660 and, of course,
01:41:13.580 AmericanMedia.com.
01:41:14.540 You can find those
01:41:15.160 online at X as well
01:41:16.420 at Bill Federer.
01:41:17.820 Thank you, Bill.
01:41:18.540 We appreciate you
01:41:19.400 and God bless.
01:41:21.080 God bless you.
01:41:22.960 Back with more,
01:41:24.620 in fact,
01:41:25.040 good news for you.
01:41:26.160 One tiny town
01:41:27.380 making a big impact.
01:41:30.920 These people have done it.
01:41:32.240 We'll tell you
01:41:32.620 how you can, too.
01:41:33.640 Back on the Glenn Beck program,
01:41:34.960 Justin Barkley
01:41:35.740 after this.
01:41:38.860 Glenn Beck.
01:41:42.260 Entering a new year
01:41:43.320 is the perfect time
01:41:44.260 to prioritize your safety.
01:41:45.940 What's your plan
01:41:46.640 if you ever face
01:41:47.400 a situation
01:41:48.000 that demands
01:41:48.620 personal protection?
01:41:49.880 Meet the Berna
01:41:50.540 Less Lethal Launcher.
01:41:51.960 The Berna Launcher
01:41:52.820 offers a powerful
01:41:53.680 non-lethal defense option
01:41:55.120 designed to keep you safe.
01:41:56.900 Equipped with tear gas
01:41:57.920 and kinetic rounds,
01:41:59.180 it has a 60-foot range,
01:42:00.680 giving you the ability
01:42:01.540 to stop threats
01:42:02.380 in their tracks
01:42:03.120 without deadly force.
01:42:04.680 With Berna,
01:42:05.180 you gain confidence
01:42:06.320 and peace of mind
01:42:07.320 knowing you're prepared
01:42:08.280 to protect yourself
01:42:09.320 and your loved ones.
01:42:10.640 Don't face
01:42:11.120 the life-altering consequences
01:42:12.540 of using a firearm
01:42:13.680 when a less lethal alternative
01:42:15.140 can provide
01:42:15.740 the protection you need.
01:42:17.240 Berna is legal
01:42:18.080 in all 50 states.
01:42:19.520 No background checks,
01:42:20.740 no permits,
01:42:21.460 and it ships

01:43:22.660 the positive
01:43:23.520 and the wins.
01:43:25.000 Justin Barkley
01:43:25.580 in for Glenn today
01:43:26.160 on the Glenn Beck program.
01:43:28.600 JustinBarkley.com
01:43:29.480 all over social media
01:43:30.380 at Mr. Justin Barkley.
01:43:32.540 Joining us now
01:43:33.600 from the state
01:43:34.240 where I reside
01:43:35.000 in Michigan,
01:43:35.820 not too far
01:43:36.440 from where I am
01:43:37.120 in West Michigan,
01:43:38.700 comes a story
01:43:39.900 about a little township
01:43:43.080 that could,
01:43:44.000 in fact,
01:43:44.400 an entire county now
01:43:45.780 that stood up
01:43:47.500 against a Chinese
01:43:49.540 communist-linked
01:43:50.780 battery plant
01:43:51.600 company called
01:43:53.400 Goshen
01:43:53.900 and, boy,
01:43:55.440 the state government,
01:43:57.940 the federal government,
01:43:59.060 and all the folks
01:44:00.020 who really band together
01:44:02.200 public and private
01:44:03.600 partnerships
01:44:04.260 in order to push
01:44:05.660 this thing through.
01:44:07.260 But the people
01:44:07.960 of Mecosta County,
01:44:09.820 the people of
01:44:10.420 Green Charter Township,
01:44:11.500 they've all stood up
01:44:13.040 and said
01:44:14.600 no
01:44:15.680 to the CCP influence.
01:44:19.300 China.
01:44:19.900 No.
01:44:21.000 To the folks
01:44:21.980 out of
01:44:22.940 Lansing.
01:44:24.540 China.
01:44:25.620 Yeah,
01:44:25.960 China too.
01:44:26.780 And
01:44:27.000 D.C. as well.
01:44:29.180 China.
01:44:30.440 No,
01:44:30.960 the people
01:44:31.260 want to tell them
01:44:32.060 what's going to happen
01:44:32.660 in their own backyard
01:44:33.460 and no to the corruption
01:44:34.400 that was occurring
01:44:35.320 in their own backyard.
01:44:37.120 It's an incredible story,
01:44:38.920 one that still
01:44:40.020 isn't over yet,
01:44:40.780 but took another
01:44:41.960 big turn today
01:44:43.880 as we're joined
01:44:45.040 with the new chair
01:44:46.240 of the Mecosta
01:44:47.080 County Commission,
01:44:49.940 Chris Zimmerman
01:44:50.480 with us now.
01:44:51.120 Chris,
01:44:51.360 thanks for taking the time
01:44:52.200 to be here with us today.
01:44:53.240 Welcome to the
01:44:53.760 Glenn Beck Program.
01:44:55.800 My pleasure.
01:44:56.880 Yeah.
01:44:57.480 He's from West Michigan.
01:44:59.780 You know,
01:45:00.460 it's funny, Chris,
01:45:01.280 because I know,
01:45:02.760 I know you,
01:45:03.840 people may or may not know,
01:45:05.860 but I know,
01:45:06.420 I know this guy
01:45:07.340 and I know a lot of the people
01:45:08.840 in the fight here
01:45:09.620 and I am so thrilled
01:45:11.860 to see what has come
01:45:13.380 out of this thing
01:45:14.340 because it's just real people.
01:45:16.120 The conversation
01:45:17.120 we had previously
01:45:18.020 this hour,
01:45:18.820 Bill Federer,
01:45:19.220 was talking about
01:45:20.200 what it takes
01:45:20.800 for real people
01:45:21.440 to get involved
01:45:22.060 and get into the fight,
01:45:23.700 whatever that fight
01:45:24.680 may look like.
01:45:25.420 Chris,
01:45:26.020 you're a guy
01:45:26.540 who listened
01:45:27.360 to the Glenn Beck Program,
01:45:28.540 listened to talk radio,
01:45:29.500 and now you're on
01:45:30.300 as a guest
01:45:30.760 because you've made news
01:45:31.760 because you've actually
01:45:32.740 gotten into the fight
01:45:33.820 and scored
01:45:34.760 a pretty decisive victory today.
01:45:36.360 Yes, I did
01:45:38.640 and thankfully
01:45:39.460 the voters
01:45:40.360 of Bocasta County
01:45:41.580 voted me in
01:45:43.700 last August
01:45:44.700 against a 20-year incumbent
01:45:46.480 and, you know,
01:45:48.320 back in April
01:45:49.860 when I agreed
01:45:50.640 to throw my hat
01:45:51.680 in the ring,
01:45:52.120 it was over
01:45:52.780 this ocean
01:45:53.780 and like a lot
01:45:55.860 of independent thinkers,
01:45:58.720 you know,
01:45:58.960 when the government
01:46:00.780 be at just the size
01:46:02.100 of our little,
01:46:02.940 you know,
01:46:03.580 40,000 person
01:46:06.220 county
01:46:06.780 in West Michigan
01:46:07.740 when the leaders
01:46:09.740 there
01:46:10.120 kind of thumbed
01:46:11.140 their noses
01:46:11.640 at the will
01:46:12.180 of the people
01:46:12.800 and said,
01:46:13.360 you're going to take
01:46:14.540 this battery plant
01:46:16.220 whether you like it
01:46:16.940 or not.
01:46:17.520 I just,
01:46:17.920 that arrogance,
01:46:19.140 that hubris
01:46:20.040 just didn't sit
01:46:21.660 well with me
01:46:22.360 and so I decided
01:46:23.100 to get off
01:46:23.580 to the sidelines
01:46:24.340 and get involved.
01:46:26.280 So you ran,
01:46:27.520 you were elected
01:46:28.200 as a Mecosta
01:46:29.300 County Commissioner
01:46:30.200 along with
01:46:31.040 a host of other folks
01:46:32.400 this time around
01:46:34.080 and today
01:46:35.520 your first meeting
01:46:36.700 you were elected
01:46:37.800 as the board chair there
01:46:39.540 so tell us
01:46:40.240 what passed today
01:46:41.300 because there was
01:46:41.940 a resolution
01:46:42.540 something,
01:46:43.780 something big
01:46:44.580 that took place.
01:46:46.320 Correct.
01:46:48.640 The score is
01:46:50.020 we have
01:46:51.020 Southern County
01:46:51.700 Commissioners
01:46:52.580 my area
01:46:54.080 is two townships
01:46:55.920 and I,
01:46:57.780 like I said,
01:46:58.600 I ran on this
01:46:59.340 anti-Gosan
01:47:00.320 theme
01:47:00.940 and it worked.
01:47:01.520 Today
01:47:02.360 at my very
01:47:03.620 first meeting
01:47:04.220 I was elected
01:47:04.880 as the board chairman
01:47:06.540 so four
01:47:08.400 of the seven
01:47:09.300 commissioners
01:47:10.940 were replaced
01:47:11.860 last August
01:47:13.080 and November
01:47:13.760 and all four
01:47:15.400 of us
01:47:15.700 are anti-Gosan
01:47:17.100 so all four
01:47:18.140 of us
01:47:18.540 we stuck together
01:47:20.000 I was elected
01:47:21.300 as chairman
01:47:22.900 and this resolution
01:47:24.720 we passed
01:47:25.580 is actually
01:47:27.080 exhumed
01:47:27.740 from what
01:47:28.240 the local
01:47:28.960 GOP
01:47:29.700 had put together
01:47:31.260 several months
01:47:33.040 maybe a year ago
01:47:34.160 they said
01:47:34.620 this is the resolution
01:47:35.880 that we want
01:47:36.540 we don't want
01:47:38.380 Goshen
01:47:38.760 we don't want
01:47:39.140 any part of Goshen
01:47:40.300 et cetera
01:47:40.780 et cetera
01:47:41.220 so I exhumed that
01:47:42.560 from the dead files
01:47:43.980 and brought it up again
01:47:44.920 and I had
01:47:46.460 one of the clerks
01:47:47.520 read the actual
01:47:48.620 resolution out loud
01:47:49.900 so the folks
01:47:50.840 in the gallery
01:47:51.700 could hear
01:47:52.340 what was taking place
01:47:53.940 and
01:47:55.100 one of the
01:47:57.220 three commissioners
01:47:58.220 who was in favor
01:47:58.980 of it
01:47:59.340 kind of
01:47:59.780 well
01:48:01.600 he
01:48:01.880 he had
01:48:03.320 objections to it
01:48:04.320 and I said
01:48:04.800 well
01:48:05.060 he wanted to
01:48:05.940 postpone it
01:48:06.580 and I said
01:48:06.840 well
01:48:07.160 you know
01:48:08.580 you've had
01:48:08.940 two years
01:48:09.640 or a year
01:48:10.080 18 months
01:48:10.780 whatever
01:48:11.120 to postpone
01:48:12.280 things
01:48:12.600 to look into it
01:48:13.360 why didn't you do it
01:48:14.160 he said
01:48:14.400 well
01:48:14.660 he didn't have
01:48:16.040 an answer
01:48:16.460 and then
01:48:17.060 he came back
01:48:18.960 with well
01:48:19.380 we weren't aware
01:48:20.140 of
01:48:20.480 public's
01:48:23.380 sentiment
01:48:24.060 on this
01:48:24.560 and I said
01:48:25.120 come on
01:48:25.580 you know
01:48:25.920 I've been to
01:48:26.620 these meetings
01:48:27.200 tons and tons
01:48:28.660 and tons
01:48:29.080 of public
01:48:30.280 outcry
01:48:31.320 over this project
01:48:32.260 and
01:48:33.380 let's take a vote
01:48:34.800 and so we took a vote
01:48:35.820 and then
01:48:36.200 this resolution
01:48:37.180 to wash our hands
01:48:38.900 of Goshen
01:48:40.520 passed
01:48:41.040 5-4
01:48:43.340 5-4
01:48:44.520 the resolution
01:48:45.380 and two against
01:48:46.260 so what
01:48:47.540 happens
01:48:47.820 what happens
01:48:48.500 next
01:48:49.020 what happens
01:48:49.840 now Chris
01:48:50.520 now that you've
01:48:51.440 passed this resolution
01:48:52.380 with the county
01:48:53.280 well
01:48:54.740 you know
01:48:55.440 in a lot of ways
01:48:56.360 it was just
01:48:56.880 a symbolic
01:48:57.540 kind of
01:48:58.400 resolution
01:49:00.360 there's no actual
01:49:01.320 teeth to it
01:49:02.200 the county
01:49:03.140 didn't put up
01:49:03.840 any money
01:49:04.620 towards it
01:49:05.280 that I'm aware of
01:49:07.060 and
01:49:08.020 who knows
01:49:09.220 what's going to
01:49:09.580 come next
01:49:10.040 there are some
01:49:10.500 lawsuits going on
01:49:11.500 between Goshen
01:49:12.520 and the old
01:49:13.280 township
01:49:13.740 that's making
01:49:14.680 their way
01:49:15.080 through the courts
01:49:15.700 but
01:49:15.980 I have a hunch
01:49:17.080 after January 20th
01:49:18.760 when 47
01:49:19.940 and 45
01:49:20.540 became
01:49:21.020 I think
01:49:22.820 I think
01:49:23.760 this is all
01:49:24.620 going to go away
01:49:25.240 because this whole
01:49:25.920 project was born
01:49:26.940 from the
01:49:27.700 inflation
01:49:28.840 explosion act
01:49:29.860 of Joe Biden's
01:49:31.140 and funnels
01:49:31.640 for Lansing
01:49:32.220 and the Democrats
01:49:33.000 so
01:49:34.120 yeah
01:49:34.900 it's
01:49:35.360 I have a hunch
01:49:36.460 that it's all
01:49:37.000 going to go away
01:49:37.740 eventually
01:49:38.260 Chris Zimmerman
01:49:40.520 is the chair
01:49:41.700 of the
01:49:42.720 Mecosta County
01:49:44.540 Board of Commissioners
01:49:45.840 in Michigan
01:49:46.580 that little county
01:49:48.100 there that was
01:49:48.660 fighting against
01:49:49.900 that Chinese
01:49:51.540 Communist Party
01:49:52.440 linked battery plant
01:49:53.860 Goshen that was
01:49:54.480 kind of forced on
01:49:55.360 the citizens
01:49:56.100 of that area
01:49:56.940 and in a big fight
01:49:58.880 in a major way
01:49:59.920 has made another
01:50:01.100 massive step
01:50:02.280 symbolic or not
01:50:03.800 another massive
01:50:04.560 step today
01:50:05.400 to kick that
01:50:07.040 thing to the curb
01:50:07.940 Chris let me ask you
01:50:08.960 advice for people
01:50:10.280 that are listening
01:50:11.060 maybe they're like you
01:50:13.040 they find themselves
01:50:14.020 in a fight
01:50:14.640 and
01:50:16.080 if they don't know
01:50:17.840 say what do I do here
01:50:18.960 I want to
01:50:19.380 I want to get involved
01:50:20.360 should I
01:50:20.960 what
01:50:21.300 what
01:50:21.620 what would you
01:50:22.460 recommend to people
01:50:23.540 what has it been like
01:50:24.400 for you
01:50:24.780 at least your experience
01:50:25.740 so far
01:50:26.260 you know I
01:50:27.600 I moved to
01:50:28.360 Mecosta County
01:50:29.220 from one county
01:50:30.220 east
01:50:30.600 in 2019
01:50:32.780 and I'm proud
01:50:34.380 I'm an insurance
01:50:35.160 guy
01:50:35.600 agent
01:50:36.220 and we do well
01:50:38.180 when we're involved
01:50:38.820 in the community
01:50:39.440 and I would
01:50:42.520 encourage your listeners
01:50:43.420 someone who wants
01:50:44.120 to get involved
01:50:44.740 to get involved
01:50:46.200 with the local
01:50:46.880 GOP
01:50:47.620 you know
01:50:48.580 attend the meetings
01:50:49.620 see what it's all
01:50:51.040 about
01:50:51.420 you'll find folks
01:50:52.660 there are just
01:50:53.540 like you
01:50:54.080 that certainly
01:50:55.160 has been my experience
01:50:56.540 and I've met
01:50:56.960 so many wonderful
01:50:57.760 people who have
01:50:58.720 like-minded
01:50:59.520 goals for the country
01:51:01.940 what's right and wrong
01:51:03.380 and get active
01:51:04.820 you don't have to
01:51:05.460 write big checks
01:51:06.260 to get involved
01:51:06.960 with the local GOP
01:51:08.860 you meet some
01:51:10.120 dignitaries along the way
01:51:11.800 you may have
01:51:12.560 a state senator
01:51:13.800 or state representative
01:51:14.860 visit your meetings
01:51:15.880 and
01:51:16.680 you can certainly
01:51:17.480 bend their ears
01:51:18.340 but
01:51:18.620 just get involved
01:51:19.880 and it's fun to have
01:51:20.640 things on your schedule
01:51:21.620 and
01:51:22.060 go to these
01:51:23.900 events
01:51:24.300 whatever your talents
01:51:25.720 are
01:51:26.100 I happen to be
01:51:27.720 a writer too
01:51:28.400 so I've written
01:51:29.100 columns for the paper
01:51:30.560 regarding
01:51:31.420 this cause
01:51:32.920 with
01:51:33.440 anti-Goshan
01:51:34.560 and so on
01:51:35.640 so
01:51:35.860 you know
01:51:36.800 but I can't fix
01:51:37.680 I'm not very mechanical
01:51:39.920 so
01:51:40.420 whatever your gifts are
01:51:42.060 we're all born with
01:51:42.800 special gifts

01:51:44.420 so get involved
01:51:45.460 whatever your gifts are
01:51:46.560 bring them to the table
01:51:47.400 get involved

01:51:55.580 that
01:51:55.880 urge you have

01:52:03.460 for somebody
01:52:04.840 listening
01:52:05.360 for the new year
01:52:06.480 Chris Zimmerman
01:52:07.400 thank you so much
01:52:08.100 for taking the time
01:52:08.800 and thank you
01:52:09.200 for all you've done
01:52:09.740 in the fight
01:52:10.100 we appreciate you
01:52:11.400 okay Justin
01:52:12.320 take care
01:52:12.900 you too
01:52:13.840 god bless
01:52:14.440 Chris
01:52:15.520 the chair now
01:52:16.300 of the
01:52:16.680 Mecosta County
01:52:17.640 Board of Commissioners
01:52:19.100 fantastic story
01:52:20.180 one I've been following
01:52:21.020 and by the way
01:52:21.600 if you want to get
01:52:22.520 deep into the weeds
01:52:23.640 on this
01:52:24.180 because this company
01:52:26.020 is not just
01:52:26.980 in Michigan
01:52:27.400 it's actually
01:52:28.460 they've done a couple
01:52:30.120 of places
01:52:30.840 of sites
01:52:31.280 that they've tried
01:52:31.900 to expand this
01:52:33.540 and trying to pull
01:52:34.440 the same sort of
01:52:36.320 scheme
01:52:36.840 so Illinois
01:52:37.780 is another one
01:52:38.920 of those
01:52:39.480 states
01:52:40.240 and in fact
01:52:41.000 these folks
01:52:42.400 have banded together
01:52:43.020 with some of these
01:52:43.480 other folks
01:52:43.880 you want to find out
01:52:44.560 more about this story
01:52:45.540 how it's been covered
01:52:46.940 and how folks
01:52:47.600 have been able
01:52:47.900 to fight back
01:52:48.540 there's a blog
01:52:50.240 slash news organization
01:52:51.600 that's done a great job
01:52:52.540 called the Midwesterner
01:52:53.720 the Midwesterner.news
01:52:56.320 has been in the fight
01:52:57.700 ever since the beginning
01:52:58.640 on this
01:52:59.140 and I know Glenn
01:52:59.860 has covered this story
01:53:00.760 extensively as well
01:53:01.780 at different times
01:53:03.200 and it's fantastic news
01:53:04.980 for these folks
01:53:05.840 but I think
01:53:06.340 not just folks

01:55:10.940 and maybe
01:55:12.280 maybe some good news
01:55:15.400 at least before we get
01:55:18.540 out of here
01:55:18.940 you know you've heard
01:55:19.560 a couple of stories
01:55:20.360 here this hour
01:55:20.980 some dark news
01:55:21.900 we're still starting
01:55:22.760 to get details
01:55:24.320 about both attacks
01:55:25.500 out of Las Vegas
01:55:26.720 and the attack
01:55:28.000 in New Orleans
01:55:29.560 the aftermath
01:55:31.540 of what you're still
01:55:32.360 digging through
01:55:32.840 right now
01:55:33.460 still starting to get
01:55:34.540 some details
01:55:35.020 about this stuff
01:55:35.760 and we will
01:55:36.200 through the next
01:55:36.680 couple of days
01:55:37.200 they've got right now
01:55:38.180 press conference
01:55:39.680 that's going on
01:55:40.460 in New Orleans
01:55:41.380 there'll be more
01:55:41.900 details coming out
01:55:42.880 about that
01:55:43.880 in the days ahead
01:55:46.260 the FBI
01:55:46.940 just conducted
01:55:47.680 a call
01:55:48.180 with the House
01:55:48.840 and Senate
01:55:49.440 Homeland Security
01:55:50.420 Committees
01:55:50.960 three big takeaways
01:55:53.020 amongst some of those
01:55:56.060 from Fox News
01:55:56.900 Hopsney is live
01:55:57.820 on Capitol Hill
01:55:58.700 with the very latest
01:55:59.600 hi there Aisha
01:56:00.100 hi Julie
01:56:01.240 we're just getting
01:56:01.940 some new information
01:56:03.000 from this FBI
01:56:04.260 phone call
01:56:05.400 that was ongoing
01:56:06.920 with House
01:56:07.860 and Senate members
01:56:08.920 of the Homeland Security
01:56:10.120 Committees
01:56:10.620 as well as
01:56:11.600 the Louisiana delegation
01:56:12.760 and I can tell you
01:56:13.920 that something
01:56:15.080 that they've learned
01:56:15.820 this is according
01:56:16.360 to sources
01:56:16.860 that were on this call
01:56:18.020 they just told Fox News
01:56:19.280 that something
01:56:19.800 that they just learned
01:56:20.680 was that
01:56:21.300 apparently the FBI
01:56:22.720 is claiming
01:56:23.460 that they had
01:56:24.600 no intelligence
01:56:26.060 on Jabbar
01:56:27.220 before this attack
01:56:28.720 they had zero
01:56:29.580 intelligence on him
01:56:30.820 well I don't know
01:56:32.120 that I admit that
01:56:33.060 usually we get
01:56:35.620 the whole
01:56:35.960 he was on our radar
01:56:36.880 thing
01:56:37.380 but I look
01:56:40.180 in this case
01:56:40.940 I don't know
01:56:41.260 which is worse
01:56:41.960 Jabbar was inspired
01:56:44.340 by ISIS
01:56:44.980 they say
01:56:45.520 but not directed
01:56:46.380 by them
01:56:46.960 there was
01:56:48.340 zero intel
01:56:49.500 as you just heard
01:56:50.640 and they now believe
01:56:52.400 he acted alone
01:56:53.280 so I don't know
01:56:54.320 how much of this
01:56:55.320 even you can believe
01:56:57.160 what about Vegas
01:56:58.400 was that just
01:56:59.120 a coincidence
01:56:59.640 so you tell me
01:57:01.820 both of these men
01:57:02.780 were in the army
01:57:03.700 one of them
01:57:04.240 active
01:57:04.780 Green Beret
01:57:06.500 the man responsible
01:57:08.700 for the explosion
01:57:09.540 at Trump Tower
01:57:10.260 active duty
01:57:13.540 they both
01:57:15.840 were in
01:57:16.260 together
01:57:16.560 at Fort Bragg
01:57:17.360 they both
01:57:19.800 used the same
01:57:20.560 Turo rental
01:57:21.420 car
01:57:22.280 company
01:57:23.500 apt to
01:57:24.120 to
01:57:26.220 rent the vehicles
01:57:28.480 that were used
01:57:29.040 in the attacks
01:57:29.660 this is
01:57:37.140 this
01:57:37.560 this is
01:57:38.240 important stuff
01:57:39.060 I mean
01:57:39.320 this is
01:57:39.760 I just
01:57:42.780 I have a hard
01:57:43.540 time putting
01:57:44.440 you know
01:57:44.860 when we say
01:57:45.500 it's just a coincidence
01:57:46.940 I have a hard
01:57:47.780 time putting
01:57:48.500 these pieces
01:57:50.920 together
01:57:51.340 looking at this
01:57:52.220 picture
01:57:52.600 and saying
01:57:53.160 I don't know
01:57:53.640 these are the same
01:57:54.240 people in the beginning
01:57:54.840 who told us
01:57:55.260 this wasn't a terrorist
01:57:56.160 attack
01:57:56.580 in the world
01:57:58.400 so as the days
01:58:00.980 go on
01:58:01.420 we're going to get
01:58:01.900 more and more
01:58:02.460 information
01:58:03.100 in fact
01:58:03.540 that press conference
01:58:04.640 looks like
01:58:05.100 some of it
01:58:05.580 some characters
01:58:06.820 that are emerging
01:58:07.480 and might get
01:58:08.080 a little
01:58:08.380 interesting
01:58:09.200 it's a story
01:58:11.440 that will be
01:58:12.060 followed
01:58:12.420 but there is
01:58:13.120 more and more
01:58:13.940 to be followed
01:58:14.620 in the days
01:58:15.080 ahead as well
01:58:15.600 this is a treat
01:58:16.260 for you tomorrow
01:58:16.840 Steve Dace
01:58:17.480 is going to be in
01:58:18.100 and he'll be
01:58:18.480 talking about
01:58:19.040 of course
01:58:19.320 that speaker
01:58:19.900 election
01:58:21.100 that's set
01:58:21.580 to take place
01:58:22.400 in the house
01:58:23.560 whether Mike Johnson
01:58:24.820 will be re-elected
01:58:25.740 or not
01:58:26.140 I'm sure
01:58:27.900 that'll be
01:58:28.320 top of topic
01:58:29.540 and conversation
01:58:30.400 for you
01:58:31.040 more good news
01:58:31.900 New Year's Eve
01:58:32.740 in fact
01:58:33.280 this kind of
01:58:34.420 gets overshadowed
01:58:35.680 by what else
01:58:37.380 took place
01:58:37.900 on New Year's Eve
01:58:38.660 but here it is
01:58:39.720 Whitney Cummings
01:58:40.860 comedian
01:58:42.240 on CNN
01:58:43.580 right in front
01:58:45.080 of Anderson Cooper
01:58:46.120 saying some of the
01:58:47.060 funniest stuff
01:58:48.160 I've ever heard
01:58:48.820 on CNN
01:58:49.320 2024 election
01:58:50.580 fried our brains
01:58:51.440 the Democrats
01:58:51.960 couldn't hold a primary
01:58:53.000 because they were
01:58:53.840 too busy
01:58:54.240 holding a body
01:58:54.860 upright
01:58:55.280 are we still
01:58:57.640 rolling
01:58:57.940 am I off
01:58:58.380 go for it
01:58:59.160 it was amazing
01:59:01.040 that the pro-choice
01:59:01.920 party didn't give
01:59:02.620 their voters one
01:59:03.340 when it came
01:59:03.740 to the presidential
01:59:04.460 candidate
01:59:05.080 oh
01:59:05.660 Kamal was forced
01:59:06.580 on us so hard
01:59:07.340 you'd think
01:59:07.660 she was patented
01:59:08.300 by Pfizer
01:59:08.940 or Moderna
01:59:10.280 whichever one
01:59:10.920 oh god
01:59:11.820 Andy just gave me
01:59:12.900 a very scary look
01:59:13.740 no
01:59:14.160 I love going
01:59:15.300 around the country
01:59:15.860 because you see
01:59:16.340 that Americans
01:59:16.920 really are more
01:59:17.880 reasonable than they
01:59:18.920 would be portrayed
01:59:19.620 they're pretty great
01:59:21.260 and I'm playing
01:59:21.760 bigger and bigger
01:59:22.360 venues now
01:59:23.200 I thought being a mom
01:59:24.140 would mean that
01:59:24.740 less people want
01:59:25.520 to come see me
01:59:26.160 I'm not playing
01:59:26.780 you know like
01:59:27.200 3,000 seat theaters
01:59:28.600 which is about
01:59:29.300 the viewership
01:59:29.980 of CNN these days
01:59:31.040 not this show
01:59:32.180 guys
01:59:32.580 all I've done
01:59:33.880 this show
01:59:34.540 oh my gosh
01:59:36.200 that is hilarious
01:59:37.780 and the fact she was
01:59:39.500 able to say it
01:59:40.280 and did it
01:59:40.940 on CNN
01:59:42.400 there's more about
01:59:43.100 the Hunter Biden
01:59:43.680 laptop too
01:59:44.420 this is a roast
01:59:45.200 he's finally realized
01:59:46.060 the only way
01:59:46.540 to make money
01:59:47.060 is to just
01:59:47.520 make them
01:59:47.820 about cheerleaders
01:59:48.640 the Dallas Cowboys
01:59:49.820 cheerleader doc
01:59:50.580 showed the girls
01:59:51.160 being treated horribly
01:59:52.160 underpaid
01:59:53.000 crying
01:59:53.420 I thought I'd
01:59:54.060 open a video
01:59:54.640 on Hunter Biden's
01:59:55.460 laptop
01:59:55.880 this is the year
01:59:57.500 everyone hated
01:59:58.240 the movie
01:59:58.600 The Joker
01:59:59.020 but if you do
01:59:59.620 love watching
02:00:00.160 men descend
02:00:00.700 you know
02:00:01.040 Anderson
02:00:01.420 just looking
02:00:02.040 at her sideways
02:00:02.800 kind of
02:00:03.220 I don't think
02:00:03.840 he wanted
02:00:04.260 his face
02:00:05.140 to show
02:00:05.720 on the camera
02:00:06.500 fantastic
02:00:08.180 if you haven't
02:00:08.720 seen that
02:00:09.060 look for the links
02:00:09.580 I put that up
