00:02:12.460 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:18.100 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:20.900 There's lots to cover today.

00:02:25.580 Pete Hegseth speaks out about his, quote, redemption.

00:02:30.540 The president said he's going to go to go to the mat for several of his appointees.

00:02:37.900 And I believe that to be true.

00:02:41.360 Fetterman was testifying yesterday and was praising Musk and working with him.

00:02:46.840 There's the new job numbers that are coming out.

00:02:49.900 John Cornyn said Cash Patel is going to be confirmed.

00:02:53.360 Tucker Carlson is over in Russia.

00:02:56.080 Again, some people are saying that he is, you know, he's being a shill.

00:02:59.400 No, he's not.

00:03:01.300 I think that interview is showing the absolute truth.

00:03:06.680 We're going to get into that in just a second.

00:03:08.380 Also, the drone sightings.

00:03:11.560 What the hell is happening?

00:03:15.040 We're living in such an amazing time.

00:03:17.980 What is happening with these drone sightings?

00:03:19.920 All that and so much more.

00:03:21.000 In 60 seconds, we begin.

00:03:23.040 Getting poor sleep isn't just an inconvenience.

00:03:25.960 It absolutely ruins your day.

00:03:27.480 For one thing, you know, ruining your day.

00:03:30.420 That's not the worst part.

00:03:31.900 It also really affects your health.

00:03:35.880 You ever fall asleep while you're driving?

00:03:37.200 Oh, yeah, that's kind of a problem.

00:03:39.100 Only because you had a really bad night's sleep the night before.

00:03:42.860 I mean, you got to have good night's sleep.

00:03:45.620 You have to.

00:03:46.600 Try Z-Factor from Relief Factor.

00:03:49.100 You know, when I was traveling and going back and forth, you know, anywhere around the world,

00:03:53.880 and I knew I had to sleep, I would take, what is it?

00:03:57.480 Is it Ambien?

00:03:58.780 That just makes you, like, crazy?

00:04:01.760 Ambien, yeah.

00:04:02.860 Yeah.

00:04:03.300 Yeah.

00:04:03.700 That says take it while you're in bed.

00:04:07.500 Yeah.

00:04:07.760 Oh, man.

00:04:08.620 If you don't, you're out of your mind.

00:04:10.140 You're doing things you didn't know you were doing.

00:04:12.280 Anyway, really.

00:04:14.300 And it zonks you the next day.

00:04:16.700 Z-Factor from Relief Factor is all natural.

00:04:19.680 You don't feel it in your body.

00:04:21.280 You just have a great night's sleep.

00:04:23.000 You'll get 46% off your first order.

00:04:25.200 Go to ReliefFactor.com right now, ReliefFactor.com, or call 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:04:30.900 1-800, the number four, Relief.

00:04:35.940 All right, so let me just start with the drone sightings here for a second,

00:04:41.160 because I don't know what's happening.

00:04:45.620 And, you know, the Department of Homeland Security is Mayorkas.

00:04:49.480 Does anybody think he has any credibility whatsoever?

00:04:54.640 He's like, well, I don't know what's going on.

00:04:56.780 Well, you didn't know what was going on on the border either.

00:05:01.700 The state police of New Jersey, the FBI, and I don't know who to believe.

00:05:08.700 I don't know if you can believe.

00:05:10.240 But apparently everyone is saying they don't know what's happening.

00:05:15.220 And there are these drones that are now flying in formation, et cetera, et cetera.

00:05:22.520 And they were flying over the Bedminster golf course.

00:05:26.740 That's Trump's golf course.

00:05:28.500 They've been flying over Air Force bases, et cetera, et cetera.

00:05:34.960 Do we have, oh, we have a clip from New Jersey News.

00:05:39.820 Listen to this.

00:05:41.040 The FAA has placed a temporary restriction on drone flights over Picatinny Arsenal

00:05:46.000 and over Trump National Golf Course in Bedminster.

00:05:49.500 When these drones were first spotted two weeks ago,

00:05:51.840 the Morris County Prosecutor's Office said that they posed no known threat to public safety.

00:05:57.100 But people want to know what the heck are they and what are they doing?

00:06:02.640 It's normal to see red and green lights in December,

00:06:05.340 unless they're coming from mysterious drones in the night sky.

00:06:07.960 It's kind of unsettling.

00:06:10.340 They're not up for 15 minutes.

00:06:11.880 They're up for hours.

00:06:13.320 Some are very big, probably the size of a car.

00:06:16.020 Mike Walsh says he's seen hundreds of them over the past two weeks from his Randolph backyard

00:06:19.880 and has the video to prove it.

00:06:21.760 They kind of go slow.

00:06:23.320 They come towards you.

00:06:24.500 Then they'll change direction a little.

00:06:26.980 They're all going different ways.

00:06:28.320 The drones have been spotted all over Morris County.

00:06:30.880 Morristown police sent an alert to Residence Sunday saying they are aware of drone activity

00:06:35.040 and that if a drone crashes or lands, do not approach or handle it.

00:06:38.940 The FBI's Newark Field Office would only say it is working with other law enforcement agencies

00:06:43.720 to figure out what's going on, but at the moment doesn't have enough information to share.

00:06:49.020 They're big, too.

00:06:50.640 The hell is that?

00:06:52.140 What is that?

00:06:53.020 I mean, that could very well be, you know, surveillance on the average American

00:07:01.300 because maybe they're doing police work or whatever.

00:07:05.400 It could be.

00:07:05.920 It could be our government doing it.

00:07:07.560 It should not be.

00:07:09.160 But we do have, like at the border, we do have drones that are up in the sky.

00:07:13.580 These are very large.

00:07:15.600 Some of them are very large.

00:07:17.600 You don't, you know, those aren't cheap.

00:07:19.760 And the very large ones are not something I don't think the average person can purchase,

00:07:26.260 can they, the really large ones?

00:07:28.060 I mean, you might be able to purchase them.

00:07:30.060 I know that there is a size requirement for registering them.

00:07:33.480 Yes.

00:07:33.980 And, of course, now we know that not everyone follows those rules.

00:07:38.380 But, like, when you have a, you know, the size is pretty small to not register them.

00:07:43.540 So those are way over the limit.

00:07:45.380 And they have the red and green lights.

00:07:47.460 And I don't remember which, you know, which one means, you know, right and left or whatever.

00:07:52.460 But they have the red and green lights on each side.

00:07:56.280 I don't think the ETs are like, you know what? 0.99

00:08:00.060 We should follow the standard of putting, you know, the red and green lights on each side so they know.

00:08:05.600 Why do people think they're aliens?

00:08:07.660 Some people think that this might be some alien thing.

00:08:11.620 I don't.

00:08:12.320 No, I think this is, I think this is most likely our government.

00:08:19.400 The second most likely, you know, this is a China balloon.

00:08:24.000 Not an actual balloon, but a drone.

00:08:25.980 This is just another thing that, you know, Biden knows about, but.

00:08:31.600 I can't do anything about it anyway.

00:08:33.560 What is it?

00:08:36.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:08:36.740 That's a good question.

00:08:37.420 I mean, it could theoretically, you think of like an incoming president who spends a lot of time at one of these areas.

00:08:43.940 Like maybe they're doing some sort of security setup.

00:08:47.700 But I mean, they would just tell us, right, if that was true.

00:08:50.000 You'd think they'd be like, hey, by the way, this is the federal government doing these things.

00:08:53.520 This is why we're doing it.

00:08:55.900 You know, so I don't know.

00:08:57.180 I mean, I was just at Mar-a-Lago with the president.

00:09:03.020 There were no drones that, you know, I saw or anybody was talking about.

00:09:08.320 I mean, you know, they're pretty good at security.

00:09:11.040 And they would just say, yeah, this is closed airspace.

00:09:14.900 You would know immediately when they say that, you know, they're closing the airspace.

00:09:19.200 If it's flying over that airspace, then it's obviously hostile.

00:09:26.480 Or ours.

00:09:28.660 Yeah.

00:09:29.220 I mean, you would.

00:09:30.580 I mean, I can't imagine I could be wrong on this.

00:09:33.080 Of course, we've seen some incompetent moments over over the past few years.

00:09:36.900 But I can't imagine if you had hours of hovering over a property owned by the incoming president that this wouldn't be noticed and wouldn't be something that they were dealing with if it wasn't the U.S. government.

00:09:53.160 Right.

00:09:53.300 Like it just that's what that's why that seems like to me the most likely explanation that it is something that we're doing for whatever reason.

00:09:59.540 And you could say nefarious or positive, but they wouldn't just let again, they let a guy just get on the roof in the middle of a rally.

00:10:09.520 So, I mean, maybe they would just let.

00:10:11.280 But I just it seems like they would stop this if they didn't want those things.

00:10:16.260 Have you seen the drone fleets in China?

00:10:19.660 Oh, yeah.

00:10:20.540 Oh, my gosh.

00:10:21.220 I mean, you've obviously seen like the drone shows, the ones that are cool and like for your entertainment.

00:10:28.440 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:10:28.780 I mean, you realize with nefarious ideas, you could do lots of damage with just those.

00:10:35.580 The Chinese military drones that I mean, that are in these gigantic fields and thousands of thousands of them are flying in for a formation.

00:10:46.560 I'm telling you, you watch the God forbid we get into World War Three.

00:10:51.180 Oh, our aircraft carriers are going to be the horses of World War One.

00:10:56.160 Yeah, they're just going to be mowed down.

00:10:58.320 I was watching a documentary.

00:11:00.160 It was in a series of nine documentaries.

00:11:03.560 And this was, I believe, number three.

00:11:08.580 Because me and my daughter went through all the Star Wars recently.

00:11:11.360 Oh, yeah.

00:11:11.540 And they have that moment where they go to the planet where they've just been making all of these clones.

00:11:18.040 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:11:18.480 Was it clones or drones?

00:11:19.800 It was in two armies there.

00:11:21.080 It's clone wars.

00:11:21.480 But it's clone wars, right?

00:11:22.800 And they just have like a zillion of them ready to go at any moment.

00:11:26.280 And I kind of feel like we're like that was not a crazy sci-fi prediction.

00:11:31.920 Like that is really going to be where we are with war at some point relatively soon.

00:11:37.560 Where it's not clones, but.

00:11:39.840 No, it's.

00:11:40.580 But it'll be droids. 0.82

00:11:41.400 It's drones and droids, right?

00:11:43.280 And you have those situations where.

00:11:47.180 I mean, this is another documentary I once saw.

00:11:50.640 But this one was.

00:11:52.540 It was something.

00:11:53.320 Somebody had fallen.

00:11:54.340 I don't remember what the name of the.

00:11:55.360 Because they had about 12 of those in the series.

00:11:57.280 But it's like Morgan Freeman's the president.

00:11:59.080 Yeah.

00:11:59.240 And like they're out there on the lake.

00:12:03.020 Right.

00:12:03.860 Something is falling.

00:12:04.700 Yeah.

00:12:04.800 Something is falling.

00:12:05.520 At the very beginning.

00:12:06.160 Yeah.

00:12:06.380 At the very beginning.

00:12:07.140 And then like a hundred million drones come over the trees and just try to assassinate the president.

00:12:11.940 Like.

00:12:12.460 Absolutely.

00:12:13.580 Totally real.

00:12:14.380 Totally real today.

00:12:15.300 Could easily happen at any moment.

00:12:17.480 At any moment.

00:12:18.060 I mean, you know.

00:12:20.800 We have that technology.

00:12:22.560 Yeah.

00:12:22.960 You know, I think a lot of normal people could put that together with not that much effort.

00:12:29.200 I mean, that's terrifying.

00:12:30.860 Like, you look at what happened in New York with a guy just walking up behind him.

00:12:35.560 Yeah.

00:12:35.860 Who, you know, what's to stop somebody from doing that type of thing with a drone?

00:12:40.880 Have you seen the.

00:12:41.940 Except they don't have to be standing there.

00:12:43.020 Have you seen the video of the guy?

00:12:44.540 I know I showed it, man, maybe two or three years ago.

00:12:47.800 The guy comes on stage and says, this is the new weapon of war.

00:12:51.800 And he opens his hand and it's about the size of a big dragon fly.

00:12:55.980 Okay.

00:12:56.900 And he's got a mannequin on the other side.

00:13:00.220 And he says, watch what it can do.

00:13:03.200 And he kind of just lifts his hand and it flies up and it flies around the audience.

00:13:08.900 And it has the targeting on a screen behind.

00:13:15.580 Okay.

00:13:15.760 And it shows his facial recognition.

00:13:19.140 And then the target is the mannequin facial recognition.

00:13:22.860 And it comes so fast and it just goes exploding, goes through the guy's head.

00:13:31.800 Through the guy's head.

00:13:33.220 The mannequin's head.

00:13:34.440 Yeah.

00:13:34.900 That's, I mean, that's what's coming.

00:13:36.860 There's no defense against stuff like that.

00:13:39.140 That is, it's, we are entering such a brave new world.

00:13:44.080 And, you know, all the, all the people that are in charge of this stuff, they all know.

00:13:51.660 But why aren't we being informed of where we are?

00:13:56.580 Yeah.

00:13:57.120 I mean, I, cause they are developing defenses for this and they might be able to come up

00:14:00.600 with a defense for an aircraft carrier possibly.

00:14:03.820 But yeah, I mean, they are developing those things.

00:14:06.480 What are those Aegis, the Aegis guns?

00:14:09.680 You know what I mean?

00:14:10.520 Yeah.

00:14:10.880 The Aegis defense system.

00:14:12.400 Yeah.

00:14:12.880 That are like 50 cal and they fire like a thousand rounds a minute or some crazy thing.

00:14:19.380 Yeah.

00:14:20.240 That, they can't, they can't stop us.

00:14:22.300 No, I don't think it's guns that they're trying it with, right?

00:14:24.740 Like there's, again, I watched another documentary, but it was, you know, you're talking like,

00:14:29.780 you know, microwaves and things like that nature to disable these things as they come down.

00:14:35.320 But that doesn't protect like the average person walking down the street.

00:14:39.000 I mean, that, you know, that, that might, you might be able to find a way to protect

00:14:43.340 at some level against those things when you're, you're defending the president of the United

00:14:48.760 States.

00:14:49.160 But what, you know, when you, when you're talking about, you know, these other uses for

00:14:55.200 these things, God, terrorist attacks, who knows?

00:14:57.200 Something the size of a, of a fly that could fly.

00:15:01.340 Somebody opens the door of the West wing and he just, and flies and then just hides.

00:15:08.680 I mean, imagine, you know, I mean, that's, we're there.

00:15:14.160 You think of intelligence operations, you know, think of, you know, think of what happened

00:15:20.300 with Hezbollah, right?

00:15:22.760 With pagers and what happened when, you know, they, you have officials going to Qatar and

00:15:28.940 going to what they think is an Airbnb and then the whole thing just blows up.

00:15:33.520 People will have really, really intricate uses for these.

00:15:37.820 And I don't, I think the truth is that a lot of these things end up, we have no idea what

00:15:42.740 happened.

00:15:43.100 Well, here's, here's the other problem.

00:15:44.700 There's a story today.

00:15:46.500 Marco Rubio is just pissed.

00:15:49.640 So is Rick Scott with the, you know, cyber security officials.

00:15:53.680 You know, we, we have that, what is it?

00:15:55.100 SISA, the cyber infrastructure security agency or whatever it is.

00:16:00.320 And it's, it's supposed to protect all of our cyber electronics and everything else and

00:16:05.900 be detecting things.

00:16:06.760 Well, you remember when the phone systems just went out, uh, for a while, uh, the global

00:16:13.560 telecommunication systems, uh, went out, uh, with several companies.

00:16:17.760 Well, we now know that it was China that did that. 0.88

00:16:21.760 So China has infiltrated our telecommunication system and they shut it down to show us. 0.99

00:16:29.980 We can shut you down right now.

00:16:33.780 SISA doesn't have any answers.

00:16:35.300 They're like, we, we, we, we don't have any idea who really it was or how they did it.

00:16:42.720 What the hell are you doing?

00:16:45.780 You can't tell me how our cyber communications, how our phone systems went down.

00:16:53.900 What good are you?

00:16:56.760 I mean, you know what, let me take a break and come back and talk to you about what Elon

00:17:01.480 Musk is talking about with Doge and it's, it's absolutely true and needs to be done.

00:17:07.080 We'll get there in just a second.

00:17:08.120 First, let me tell you about Lear capital, uh, gold backed currency, gold backed currency.

00:17:14.640 This is what the BRICS nations are moving towards.

00:17:17.800 Um, this, um, interview with, uh, Lever of, uh, from Russia talks about our sanctions.

00:17:24.220 And they said, you know what, you know what your sanctions taught us.

00:17:27.700 They're no big deal.

00:17:29.040 We're stronger than we were.

00:17:30.880 And all we have to do is depend on ourself.

00:17:33.360 And we've built the system.

00:17:35.100 What he's talking about is this gold backed currency with the BRICS nations that cripples 0.99

00:17:41.520 the United States.

00:17:42.780 Now is the time to be thinking ahead and do something like the BRIC nations are doing 1.00

00:17:48.660 with gold to back your account.

00:17:51.120 I'm not talking about, you know, I got to have everything in gold, have 10% of what you've

00:17:57.080 saved in gold.

00:17:59.100 You know how much money your, your money, your dollar has lost.

00:18:04.120 It's lost a fortune in dollars.

00:18:07.380 Gold has actually made money or actually just held the price of what you actually have saved.

00:18:14.780 Build a hedge against the insanity of what's going on all around the world.

00:18:48.620 Where the love light gleams, I'll be home for Christmas.

00:19:14.340 If only in my dreams.

00:19:24.420 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:19:26.800 We're glad you're here.

00:19:27.540 There's several things going on.

00:19:29.420 The Black Church Coalition is demanding MSNBC probe Harris's campaign payment to Sharpton.

00:19:37.220 The Black Churches are coming out against that.

00:19:43.280 Let's see.

00:19:43.940 There's just all kinds of stuff.

00:19:46.800 Ukraine now is in so much trouble.

00:19:48.360 They're mobilizing women because they don't have enough troops to fight. 1.00

00:19:53.080 And yet, another Biden aide, this is how it's described.

00:19:58.340 A Biden aide is now assisting to ship a huge load of armaments over to Ukraine before Biden

00:20:08.640 leaves.

00:20:09.420 Who is this?

00:20:10.020 Who is this?

00:20:10.620 Who's making the decision?

00:20:12.500 This is crazy.

00:20:14.300 This is exactly how the founders designed it.

00:20:18.180 They wanted people to be governed and ruled by those they did not know the name.

00:20:26.400 Yeah.

00:20:26.900 It's just like-

00:20:27.960 No accountability.

00:20:28.720 No accountability.

00:20:29.860 We don't even know who they are.

00:20:30.980 Yeah.

00:20:31.640 I love how, too, they're like, oh, well, you know, we should get-

00:20:34.300 We're telling Ukraine that they should conscript 18-year-olds. 0.80

00:20:39.500 And Ukraine's like, we don't want to do that. 1.00

00:20:41.980 And we're telling them that they should.

00:20:44.040 Can you imagine someone coming to you and saying, hey, like, you know, maybe all the

00:20:48.480 children who are coming out of high school should go into war and get destroyed and blown 0.99

00:20:54.100 up on the front lines?

00:20:55.940 Doesn't that sound like a great idea?

00:20:58.020 And again, like, they can do what they want to do.

00:21:00.140 I don't think it's a-

00:21:01.220 It's, you know, we've obviously had lots of young men die for our country.

00:21:04.620 I get it.

00:21:05.080 But, like, I guess this is what happens when you have a country who's paying for everything.

00:21:11.780 Yeah.

00:21:11.920 They get to tell you whatever they want.

00:21:13.200 Yeah.

00:21:13.460 And, you know, and don't worry.

00:21:14.860 We'll take your farmland. 0.93

00:21:16.820 That's what we've done.

00:21:17.980 We've taken their farmland now.

00:21:19.900 And we'll rebuild you at a cost.

00:21:22.100 But we'll rebuild you.

00:21:23.360 So all, you know, BlackRock and everything else getting rich off this.

00:21:26.540 This is despicable and disgusting what's going on over there.

00:21:30.340 But let me go back to Elon Musk and, you know, cutting of the federal government.

00:21:36.260 Do you know that only, I think it was, was it six or was it 12% of the workforce in Washington,

00:21:46.660 D.C. and the federal government is actually showing up to work?

00:21:52.220 Six?

00:21:52.780 The rest of them are working from home.

00:21:56.560 And the Doge team testified yesterday, we have $2 trillion worth of business, worth of buildings we should sell right now because they're empty.

00:22:10.180 No one's showing up to work.

00:22:11.660 Now, the government is going to say, well, we're going to try to make everybody go back to work.

00:22:16.500 You know what?

00:22:18.240 If you're working from home, you're doing about half the job.

00:22:21.500 Let's be honest.

00:22:22.400 Let's be honest.

00:22:23.740 You're doing about half the job.

00:22:25.780 Most people, not everybody, but most people.

00:22:29.600 I'm sorry.

00:22:30.940 When we said COVID, only the essential employees should show up.

00:22:37.120 I said, let's apply that to the federal government.

00:22:39.560 If you're an essential employee, show up.

00:22:43.260 Everybody else, you're fired.

00:22:44.840 You're not essential.

00:22:47.240 They're still not showing up for work.

00:22:50.580 Sell the buildings and start firing people.

00:22:56.080 It's really easy to solve.

00:22:59.180 Back in just a second.

00:23:06.780 Glenn Beck.

00:23:08.240 This is one of the best times of the year.

00:23:11.140 I mean, it can also be a really hard time for your family.

00:23:15.380 You know, if you're struggling or you have a family of a service member or first responder who didn't make it home from their duty this year.

00:23:22.700 One example is the family of stars, Sergeant Stephen Splane.

00:23:28.520 He suffered a heart attack while he was on fire duty.

00:23:32.420 Nothing is ever going to replace him.

00:23:34.280 But with the help from people just like you, Tunnel to Towers, gifted his family a mortgage-free home.

00:23:41.280 That's a huge financial burden that will now be lifted off of their shoulders.

00:23:45.420 And all because of the generosity of those who are willing to give what they have.

00:23:50.560 My father-in-law passed away this year, and it was hard at Thanksgiving, you know, but we knew that time was coming.

00:23:58.840 It wasn't a shock to the family, and he had taken care of mom.

00:24:02.160 She's okay.

00:24:02.960 This foundation takes care of people that are in shock, and they may not be able to just afford the home for the children and everything else.

00:24:13.360 Please donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org.

00:24:17.720 That's T, the number two, T, dot org.

00:24:32.960 So there's some big news here in Texas.

00:24:59.280 Yes, the Texas House could have a new speaker as soon as this weekend.

00:25:04.120 Now, this is big because the Texas House Republicans have a speaker that, for some reason, has done every time.

00:25:16.200 He comes in, he's like, you know what?

00:25:18.560 Yes, we won, but let's be fair.

00:25:21.520 Let's give the Democrats half of the power. 0.84

00:25:26.200 What?

00:25:26.840 But he is absolutely against school choice.

00:25:30.120 He is, I mean, he was the guy who tried to bring down Ken Paxton.

00:25:34.960 He's the guy who was drunk on the floor.

00:25:38.220 Allegedly.

00:25:40.160 I think I could.

00:25:41.600 Your Honor, may I be sworn in as an expert witness on?

00:25:45.840 Yes, you do know something about this topic, don't you?

00:25:47.640 He was drunk on the floor.

00:25:51.120 And for some reason now, he's decided, yeah, I'm not going to be here.

00:26:00.180 Me run?

00:26:01.300 What?

00:26:02.240 Have no idea.

00:26:03.660 Somebody who has been on this from the get-go is Sarah Gonzalez from Blaze TV.

00:26:09.840 Sarah, what happened?

00:26:12.120 This story just broke.

00:26:13.900 Do you know?

00:26:15.540 Yeah.

00:26:16.040 Well, I mean, what happened was Dave Phelan finally realized that he was not going to have the votes to maintain his speakership simply because of what you just referenced.

00:26:25.240 He ran the whole impeachment sham against Ken Paxton.

00:26:29.140 He, you know, a lot of people think that Donald Trump is like the OG of having, you know, this weaponized lawfare against him.

00:26:37.020 And Ken Paxton has been dealing with it here in the state of Texas for nearly a decade.

00:26:40.940 So he was behind that.

00:26:43.160 You know, he barely won.

00:26:44.820 He barely hung on to his seat by like something like 300 votes over there in the Beaumont area.

00:26:50.520 So, I mean, you're looking at a guy who is seeing the wrath of the Texas grassroots activists.

00:26:56.320 They have come out in force against this guy.

00:26:59.660 And now you're seeing all of these, even if they're rhinos, we have a lot of work to do in the Texas House. 0.98

00:27:05.080 We have a lot of rhinos remaining, Glenn.

00:27:07.240 But the problem is that is right on the wall.

00:27:10.100 Hang on.

00:27:10.380 Let me explain this to, you know, if you live, you probably know this in like Oklahoma or places where it's very, very red.

00:27:18.600 People who are Democrats, they're like, I can't.

00:27:22.880 There's no way I can win as a Democrat.

00:27:25.660 So I'll say I'm a Republican when they're Democrats. 0.98

00:27:29.920 And so they become these awful, awful rhinos. 0.62

00:27:33.860 And people who don't know will just go, well, you're a Republican.

00:27:37.880 That's great for me.

00:27:39.580 And that's the real problem.

00:27:41.420 Texas is red, but it's not as red as its population is because we've been voting in rhinos because that's a Republican.

00:27:52.880 Exactly right.

00:27:53.900 Exactly right.

00:27:54.620 And so the problem for all of these rhinos is that Texas grassroots activists have had enough. 0.86

00:27:59.200 There was a bloodbath at the polls.

00:28:01.200 We have something like 25 new incoming freshmen House representatives.

00:28:05.520 They're shaking up the system.

00:28:07.280 These are elected by Texas conservative grassroots.

00:28:10.500 I mean, they are as conservative as it gets.

00:28:12.760 We're going to pass school choice.

00:28:14.040 We've got the votes for that.

00:28:15.480 And so we're seeing the makeup of this legislature changing.

00:28:18.960 And Dave Phelan simply did not have the votes from all of these incoming freshmen.

00:28:23.340 These actual true conservatives said we're not voting for Dave.

00:28:26.400 We want to change.

00:28:27.340 The people elected us to come in and change things.

00:28:30.680 And we're going to do it.

00:28:31.860 And so Dave Phelan finally had to decide to step down.

00:28:34.800 Now, I will say, Glenn, the fight is not over because we have Dave Jr., Dustin Burroughs, here in the state of Texas, is filing to enter the speakership race.

00:28:44.920 And he's the same.

00:28:45.680 He's the same thing.

00:28:46.660 I mean, they're friends and they are in cahoots.

00:28:50.760 He would be the mouthpiece for Dave.

00:28:51.940 Yes.

00:28:52.260 He would be the mouthpiece for Dave if he won it.

00:28:54.640 You know, my hope is that the grassroots activists will still continue to let their voices be heard, put pressure on their representatives to say, you do not vote for Dustin Burroughs.

00:29:04.660 We don't want that.

00:29:06.040 And there is, of course, David Cook would be the grassroots activist choice for the speakership here in the state of Texas.

00:29:12.820 So what would it mean if we did get David Cook in?

00:29:16.060 Well, what it would mean is that we would have someone who would not put Democrats in key committee chairs.

00:29:21.560 I mean, that is the most significant, one of the most significant things.

00:29:25.940 Have you ever heard of that, Stu, Sarah, in any other state?

00:29:30.780 Have you ever heard of a Republican putting Democrats in key positions leading key committees?

00:29:41.620 I don't think so.

00:29:42.700 No.

00:29:43.140 I've never heard of it.

00:29:44.580 No.

00:29:45.080 I mean, it's the most backward thing. 1.00

00:29:46.560 Imagine the people elected, the people decided we want a red legislature, and all you do is you turn over the keys to the car to the Democrats to drive it.

00:29:57.100 I mean, you're talking about key committees like the Calendars Committee.

00:30:00.500 You know, they decide what comes up on the floor to debate.

00:30:03.980 I mean, these are really, really key committees, and he's handing the keys over to the Democrats.

00:30:08.320 So that won't happen with David Cook.

00:30:10.780 You know, David Cook will be driving the bus into a more conservative, you know, place.

00:30:16.780 So I do think, you know, would he be my choice if I had the makeup of every single Texas legislator there?

00:30:24.580 Probably not.

00:30:25.860 But the grassroots have said this is the guy that we can get through.

00:30:30.320 This is the guy who can win the votes.

00:30:32.160 And this is the guy who is going to take us.

00:30:34.960 He has been put on notice that he is to govern in a more conservative way.

00:30:40.120 So, I mean, look, I'll take the win.

00:30:43.380 Getting Dade off of this, having him withdraw, is huge for us.

00:30:47.720 Huge.

00:30:48.240 Huge.

00:30:49.020 Because we will have school choice now.

00:30:51.840 Yes.

00:30:52.620 Yes.

00:30:53.540 Texas has been trying to do this for a long time.

00:30:57.260 They've been trying to do it, and it is because of this Speaker of the House who is just in the pocket of somebody, probably the teachers' unions, and just will not let it come to a vote and stomps it down every single time.

00:31:13.740 Sarah, did you say, I think you say, that we do have the votes, you think, for it now?

00:31:18.120 Yes.

00:31:18.500 Everything that I'm hearing indicates that we do have the votes for it now.

00:31:21.100 Because even people who were a no last go-around, they saw what happened at the polls.

00:31:26.920 They saw all of their friends.

00:31:28.480 They saw all of Dade's lackeys get decimated over the topic of school choice.

00:31:32.860 You had Governor Abbott out there, you know, endorsing people in the primaries solely based off of their school choice vote.

00:31:40.260 So, I mean, it was just that they saw what happened at the polls.

00:31:43.100 They want to hang on to power.

00:31:44.700 If it scares them enough and there's still rhinos at heart, but they're scared enough that they're going to vote our way, you know what?

00:31:50.240 I'll take the vote because it's embarrassing that we still don't have school choice in this state.

00:31:54.780 So, what do you know about – let me change subjects here.

00:31:57.080 What do you know about our gold-backed currency that we're working on?

00:32:02.760 So, I don't get into that topic very much, but I do know that they are working on it.

00:32:07.900 It is something that they have said that they do want to take up in the session.

00:32:12.800 Yeah, we should get David – what is his name?

00:32:15.140 Kevin Freeman on, because I think this is something that he has been pushing for a long time.

00:32:20.720 And I read his book about it, and I think he's right.

00:32:23.020 I think he's absolutely right.

00:32:25.920 And it would – you know, every state needs to strengthen itself.

00:32:31.680 You know, the idea of let's close the Department of Education doesn't mean we don't care about education.

00:32:37.760 It means we want the money that our states have to stay in the state, and we want control.

00:32:45.640 We don't want to send a dollar and get 30 cents back in education and then be told exactly what we have to do. 0.65

00:32:53.760 It's ridiculous.

00:32:55.700 We have to strengthen our states.

00:32:57.820 And when it comes to the dollar, I mean, I'll never forget, sitting in Rick Perry's office, probably 2010, and Germany had just asked for their gold from the Federal Reserve.

00:33:14.500 And the Federal Reserve was like, well, it might take us five years to get it to you.

00:33:17.940 I'm like, what?

00:33:19.480 And I talked to Rick, and he said, I'm very concerned.

00:33:22.000 And I said, where's our gold?

00:33:23.200 And he said, Federal Reserve.

00:33:24.280 And he said, I just asked for it back, and we got it back.

00:33:28.720 So now we have – Texas has its gold in the state.

00:33:34.580 And they're now talking about doing what Utah has done and have some sort of gold-backed currency that is, you know, good for trade.

00:33:42.360 And I think that's really smart, really smart.

00:33:46.740 Sarah, thank you so much.

00:33:48.200 Appreciate it.

00:33:49.320 Thank you.

00:33:50.020 Yeah.

00:33:50.500 Big news coming out of Texas.

00:33:52.320 Yeah, and Sarah has worked really hard on that issue.

00:33:55.560 She is. 0.51

00:33:56.760 She's a pit bull. 1.00

00:33:57.920 Oh, yeah.

00:33:58.500 She gets her teeth in it. 0.98

00:33:59.240 Don't get in the way.

00:34:00.540 Don't get in the way.

00:34:02.020 She's coming.

00:34:02.880 Yeah.

00:34:03.280 Yeah, she's done so much for – I mean, not just this issue, but so many other issues, you know, particularly the stuff like, you know, the transing issues and such.

00:34:14.620 She's worked so hard on this.

00:34:16.320 She's out all the time on the weekends, like, you know.

00:34:18.960 No, she's – she is an activist. 0.99

00:34:21.720 She's an activist. 0.55

00:34:22.380 No.

00:34:22.800 Let me play one thing, I guess, speaking of her.

00:34:26.180 She would – this is so insane. 0.99

00:34:28.760 This is how insane the transgender thing is getting. 1.00

00:34:34.760 Let's see. 0.98

00:34:35.520 Let's play cut 10 here. 0.63

00:34:37.960 Trans child worried.

00:34:39.000 What concerns have you had about speaking out?

00:34:41.900 That I'm going to be, like, murdered.

00:34:44.520 Like, one day I'm going to be walking down the street and somebody's going to come up and, like, shoot me or something.

00:34:52.980 That's a really scary thing to be worrying about at 10 years old.

00:34:56.680 Yeah, where would you get an idea like that?

00:34:57.700 Yeah, that should not be a worry.

00:35:00.840 Yeah, well, yeah.

00:35:02.120 You know, it's interesting.

00:35:03.540 I would agree.

00:35:04.540 Yeah.

00:35:04.820 You know, we talk about bipartisanship.

00:35:06.580 Here's some bipartisanship for you.

00:35:07.900 I agree.

00:35:08.500 She shouldn't be worried about that.

00:35:09.900 Stop telling your child they're going to be murdered on the street.

00:35:14.400 Can you imagine that?

00:35:15.220 Where would they get that idea from?

00:35:16.520 Their parents.

00:35:17.140 It's either their parents or, like, TikTok that you've left them with over the past –

00:35:21.340 Or school.

00:35:22.000 Every day for eight hours.

00:35:22.580 Or school.

00:35:23.240 Yeah.

00:35:23.440 I mean, like –

00:35:24.300 Some activist.

00:35:25.480 Some crazy – but, again, at school would be one of those two explanations as well from one of their friends.

00:35:30.680 Yeah.

00:35:30.780 You know, it's the same – this very similar thing goes on with climate.

00:35:36.140 The same thing.

00:35:37.340 These activist parents that are insane terrify their children that they're all going to die from climate change. 0.88

00:35:43.960 That is just like – that is borderline child abuse to put that in your kid's head like that. 0.90

00:35:50.180 I have to tell you, I tell my kids, you know, my kids, they live with me.

00:35:54.360 I mean, that's practically child abuse.

00:35:56.160 You know what I mean?

00:35:56.980 It's just like –

00:35:58.000 Yeah, oh, God.

00:35:58.500 The world's coming to an end.

00:35:59.520 It's terrible.

00:35:59.540 Yeah, terrible.

00:36:00.240 You know.

00:36:01.360 But, like, there are real worries.

00:36:03.360 And I think, especially when they're at that age, I do everything I can to shield my kids from those worries.

00:36:10.520 Tanya has shielded them from all of the stuff, you know, and I have brought it to them now that they're 18, et cetera, et cetera.

00:36:19.040 I do talk to them about, hey, these are the real concerns.

00:36:22.860 These are the things you probably shouldn't have to worry about.

00:36:26.720 But these things you should watch.

00:36:28.480 As an adult now, you need to watch these things.

00:36:31.460 You don't tell a 10-year-old child you're going to be shot in the street because of who you think you are at 10.

00:36:39.880 Yeah, I mean, I think back to March 2020 where all of a sudden, like, NBA games are just – they're just getting canceled with 20,000 people in the stadium.

00:36:53.340 You know, Donald Trump is out there talking – and we're in that 15-day, 30-day to slow the spread, all that stuff.

00:36:58.700 We still don't know where this is going.

00:37:00.420 And there's moments in that where you're like, even if this is wrong and, you know, it's not as serious of a pandemic, like, what's the government going to do?

00:37:11.280 What happens to our economy?

00:37:12.680 Can we reboot this?

00:37:13.640 Will life ever get back to normal?

00:37:15.320 Those are real questions that you asked.

00:37:17.220 We forget about a lot of them now, but there are moments where you're like, what the hell is going to happen here?

00:37:21.080 And I remember thinking to myself, all I can do is try to make my kid's life not feel that way, right?

00:37:28.720 All I can do is I hope when they get older, they will look back at this period and remember, hey, remember when we did all that cool stuff with mom and dad when we were home for all that time?

00:37:39.380 Like, that's how I want them to remember it.

00:37:41.900 That's not how these parents operate at all.

00:37:44.640 They're terrifying their children.

00:37:46.680 They're ruining their childhood.

00:37:47.620 2016, who was it from ABC or it was Stephanopoulos, I think, who said his children were sleeping in their bed crying themselves to sleep every night

00:37:58.620 because of Donald Trump.

00:37:59.820 Are you out of your mind?

00:38:01.660 Why?

00:38:01.920 That's you.

00:38:02.660 That's you.

00:38:03.380 That's not them.

00:38:04.120 That's you.

00:38:04.760 All right.

00:38:04.960 Back in just a minute.

00:38:06.040 Let me tell you about Good Ranchers.

00:38:44.100 Have you seen the – I'm not going to spoil anything, but on Yellowstone, they all die.

00:38:52.240 No, in Yellowstone, I am finding it so sad because a sub-story is cowboys are going to be a thing of the past.

00:39:05.400 This ranching life is over in America, and everything will come from overseas.

00:39:12.180 We can't let that happen.

00:39:14.120 We can't.

00:39:43.020 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:40:08.220 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:40:09.840 There's a couple of things that are worth discussing.

00:40:13.600 Bitcoin, over 100,000, and David Sachs has now been named as the cryptocurrency czar.

00:40:24.780 It's a big one.

00:40:25.780 That's a good pick.

00:40:27.120 That's not going to hurt Bitcoin.

00:40:29.420 We'll talk about that a little later.

00:40:31.520 Also, I have to tell you, Stu, you said to me off the air the other day, you've got to watch this thing on Max.

00:40:36.580 It's a documentary on Yacht Rock.

00:40:38.320 Yeah, I did say that.

00:40:40.400 Pretty much just like that.

00:40:41.500 I avoid, like, Yacht Rock playlists, you know, on Apple or Spotify, because I'm like, it has always seemed like such a slam.

00:40:52.660 Yeah, it's like a derogatory term.

00:40:54.820 And it's not.

00:40:56.300 No.

00:40:56.420 Turns out it's not.

00:40:57.580 It's really a term of endearment, at least now.

00:40:59.480 Yeah.

00:40:59.700 You know, it kind of started with, like, which I didn't know.

00:41:01.920 It started with comedy sketches.

00:41:03.300 Yeah, about it.

00:41:03.900 And they called it Yacht Rock.

00:41:05.140 And it grew into this whole thing.

00:41:06.320 And it's that whole genre.

00:41:07.540 You know what it's like for the Michael McDonald genre.

00:41:10.380 Remember the time?

00:41:11.440 I don't even know.

00:41:12.280 Are you old enough to remember this?

00:41:13.780 When Michael McDonald was on every record, no matter who it was.

00:41:19.080 And here's the Pope doing his vest.

00:41:21.780 And Michael McDonald.

00:41:23.840 Yes.

00:41:24.260 They kind of reference that in the documentary.

00:41:26.700 They go through that.

00:41:27.180 But it was like a real scene.

00:41:28.340 And they talk about how proficient these musicians were.

00:41:31.000 Right.

00:41:31.140 They're all really likable, even, you know, later in life.

00:41:34.180 Like, kind of like, I don't know how any of this happened to us.

00:41:36.500 It made me want to have an interview with Michael McDonald.

00:41:39.640 Yeah.

00:41:39.960 Because I've always loved him.

00:41:41.200 Yeah.

00:41:41.520 And he just seemed so normal.

00:41:43.300 Yes.

00:41:43.740 It was so great.

00:41:44.520 They come out great.

00:41:45.160 A lot of them are still really close friends.

00:41:46.580 Christopher Cross is in it.

00:41:47.840 It's like, it's, it's a great, honestly, it just made me feel good watching.

00:41:51.740 Yeah.

00:41:52.060 It's a great documentary.

00:41:53.080 If you want to just feel good, watch, what is it, on Max?

00:41:57.140 On Max.

00:41:57.640 Yacht Rock.

00:41:58.400 Documentary, Yacht Rock.

00:42:00.420 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:02.200 Let me talk to you about American Giant.

00:42:04.440 You voted with your ballot, but it is important that we continue to keep up the pressure and

00:42:10.480 change America.

00:42:11.280 We have a chance to change America forever and get back to the America that makes a good

00:42:17.700 difference.

00:42:18.820 American Giant has been on this for, I don't know, 10 or 15 years now, trying to get factories

00:42:24.340 to make American clothing here in America again.

00:42:28.220 And it's really hard to do, but we have to do it.

00:42:31.860 We have to have this entrepreneurial and industrial spirit.

00:42:36.360 So if you're looking for any kind of clothing for Christmas, some of the best clothing, 100%

00:42:43.440 all the way down to the buttons and the ink and the thread and the fabric and the cotton,

00:42:47.660 all of it is from America.

00:42:49.320 And you can get it now at American-Giant.

00:42:52.620 It's great quality.

00:42:54.380 It's at a reasonable price.

00:42:56.460 You can get cheap clothing made by slaves in China, but get American Giant. 0.82

00:43:31.760 Welcome to the Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.

00:43:48.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:52.640 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:54.720 Uh, there's some just amazing things that have been uttered by people in the last 24 hours.

00:44:02.040 And I had a really great conversation with somebody I had never met, did not know that much about other than, uh, I don't think we agree on anything.

00:44:14.080 Um, but she came into the studios yesterday and we had a conversation.

00:44:18.700 She is, she is somebody who is, um, she still describes herself on the left, but I don't think she defines that differently than you and I define it.

00:44:29.400 Um, and I think, uh, and it was a fascinating conversation because we did disagree, but it is exactly the kind of disagreement and conversation that we should be able to have with everybody.

00:44:43.880 Uh, it was not a difficult conversation at all.

00:44:48.180 And we walked away disagreeing on many things, but it was a great think conversation.

00:44:54.440 I'm going to share that with you coming up in just a second.

00:44:56.480 First, who you do business with says a lot about you.

00:45:00.020 The parallel economy has been building and it is incredibly important.

00:45:04.620 When it comes to your mobile carrier, let me ask you, are you with the right company?

00:45:09.560 Some of these companies are going to start saying, yeah, woke.

00:45:12.160 I don't even know what you're talking about.

00:45:13.480 We were broke because they're going broke.

00:45:17.280 Don't, you know, who means it and who is meaning it now because times have changed.

00:45:24.040 Go with the people that are actually trying to make sure that change happens fully.

00:45:30.360 And that's Patriot mobile for your mobile phone service.

00:45:33.020 They started because they knew if they could come up with a product that they could make money with and would be a better service and better service for the customer.

00:45:43.460 And they could charge a cheaper rate.

00:45:46.000 They could make money and then take some of that money and then help local communities switch things like the school boards, etc.

00:45:54.160 To make sure that conservative principles, constitutional principles were enacted in our local communities.

00:46:34.480 Okay, so there's a couple of things that happened.

00:46:36.340 First of all, let me just go through some of the sound from yesterday.

00:46:39.800 There was an exchange between Representative Pat Fallon, he's a Republican from Texas, and the acting director of the Secret Service.

00:46:50.720 It was kind of interesting.

00:46:53.840 Listen.

00:46:54.760 Do you recognize this photo?

00:47:01.920 Yes, sir, I do.

00:47:03.380 Okay.

00:47:04.060 Was that a remembrance of September 11th?

00:47:07.420 It was.

00:47:08.040 Was it in New York?

00:47:09.340 It was at Ground Zero.

00:47:10.840 Okay.

00:47:12.880 Who is usually at an event like this closest to the President of the United States, security-wise?

00:47:19.980 The sack of the detail.

00:47:22.660 Special agent in charge of the detail.

00:47:24.480 Were you the special agent in charge of the detail that day?

00:47:28.100 Actually, let me address this.

00:47:30.160 Could you please, staff, leave that?

00:47:31.560 Oh, no, leave that one up with the circle around me.

00:47:33.320 Thank you.

00:47:34.280 So, actually, Congressman, what you're not seeing is the sack of the detail off, out of the picture's view.

00:47:41.880 And that is the day where we remember the more than 3,000 people that have died on 9-11.

00:47:49.100 I actually responded to Ground Zero.

00:47:52.200 I was there going through the ashes of the World Trade Center.

00:47:55.300 I was there at fresh kills.

00:47:56.960 I'm not asking you that.

00:47:57.900 I'm asking you.

00:47:58.880 Congressman, you were the special agent in charge.

00:48:01.700 To show respect for a Secret Service member that died on 9-11.

00:48:06.320 You were trying to be...

00:48:07.340 Do not invoke 9-11 for political purposes.

00:48:10.280 Oh, I'm not.

00:48:11.260 I'm invoking this work.

00:48:12.120 You are, sir.

00:48:12.900 And you are out of line.

00:48:14.620 I would like to ask him a question.

00:48:15.880 Please.

00:48:16.160 You are out of line, Congressman.

00:48:18.200 Don't try to bully me.

00:48:20.200 Order.

00:48:20.560 I'm an elected member of Congress, and I'm asking you a serious question, and you are playing politics.

00:48:24.380 And I am a public servant who has served this nation and spent time on our day, on our country's darkest day.

00:48:31.120 Mr. Chairman, he will not order.

00:48:32.220 Stop, stop.

00:48:33.200 You know what this is?

00:48:35.160 This is the Hillary Clinton moment.

00:48:37.720 What difference does it make?

00:48:39.940 Okay?

00:48:40.220 This acting Secret Service, he may feel passionately, and he may have been there on 9-11, but that makes no difference.

00:48:53.620 Why wasn't the head of the detail next to the President of the United States?

00:48:59.700 Why was he 10 feet away instead of 2 feet away?

00:49:04.100 He was not the guy.

00:49:06.180 He says, I'm there to remember.

00:49:10.440 I got news for you.

00:49:12.580 Even my detail.

00:49:14.820 They never carry anything.

00:49:17.580 If it is like, if I'm at my house and we're loading up to go on vacation or something, they might take a bag or a suitcase and throw it in the back of the car at my house.

00:49:28.000 When they're on duty and we're outside of the fence of my house, they don't put things in their hands.

00:49:35.200 Nothing.

00:49:36.160 All they do is watch me and everything around.

00:49:40.260 That's their job.

00:49:42.600 Their job is not to, you know what, I was there also remembering.

00:49:46.680 No.

00:49:47.820 Your job, if you're protecting the President, is to protect the President.

00:49:52.840 Period.

00:49:53.320 Period.

00:49:54.520 That's the case that he was trying to make, and I think he made it poorly because he got upset so quickly, because actually the acting head of Secret Service, I think, was politicizing.

00:50:06.740 He was trying to get out of this by saying, I was there to remember.

00:50:11.860 That's not in question.

00:50:13.840 You have a role to play.

00:50:15.200 You could be there, but why were you standing there?

00:50:19.460 And the implication is because you wanted to be in the picture.

00:50:25.680 Now, let me show you something else.

00:50:27.260 This is crazy.

00:50:28.740 Fetterman. 0.99

00:50:30.620 What the hell? 0.91

00:50:31.540 I don't even know how to. 0.96

00:50:33.020 Fetterman.

00:50:34.160 Listen to this.

00:50:35.100 Do you see yourself ultimately working with folks like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who will be heading to the government?

00:50:40.180 Yeah, again, I admire Mr. Musk.

00:50:46.640 He has been involved in very important parts of American society.

00:50:50.900 AI, SpaceX, and other kinds of things.

00:50:55.340 Yes, he's on a different team, but that doesn't make me an enemy.

00:51:00.700 I don't be automatically going to become a critic.

00:51:03.340 It's like, hey, he's made our economy and our nation better, and our politics are different.

00:51:12.200 And I don't agree with some of the things that he might say, but that doesn't make him, like I said, an enemy.

00:51:17.420 I got to tell you, this guy, first of all, I think has had an amazing recovery.

00:51:23.200 I really did not think that he would come back as fully as he has.

00:51:28.880 I still hate the sweatshirt thing.

00:51:30.680 However, he at times is something I never thought he would be reasonable.

00:51:39.800 Yeah, and he's good on a couple things.

00:51:43.280 Look, he is a Democrat.

00:51:45.140 Do not forget that he's a Democrat.

00:51:46.940 His voting record is everything that Joe Biden wants.

00:51:50.660 That's his voting record.

00:51:52.040 But he is oddly sane on a few issues.

00:51:55.060 Yes.

00:51:55.500 And I think also his approach is better than most of these people on the left.

00:51:59.200 And I think it's important to say, we're not going to agree on everything.

00:52:04.980 But, you know, if you can have a reasonable conversation and you can say, okay, forget politics here.

00:52:12.120 What are the principles behind this?

00:52:14.840 Let me show you something that happened yesterday on Stage 19.

00:52:19.940 I did my podcast.

00:52:21.540 It's out now for Blaze TV subscribers.

00:52:25.900 You can watch it.

00:52:26.480 It is fascinating.

00:52:27.400 I really hope you watch this one.

00:52:29.080 When I walked out of the studio, I looked at all my producers and I said, how was that?

00:52:33.220 And they were like, I think that was one of the best exchanges you've ever had on a podcast.

00:52:39.120 First, Anna Kasparian, who I didn't really know much about other than she was on, what is it, Young Turks.

00:52:46.200 I don't spend any time watching or listening or paying any attention to the Young Turks.

00:52:53.720 So I didn't know.

00:52:55.640 Now, Dave Rubin used to be on Young Turks, okay?

00:53:01.520 She's not on our side, you know.

00:53:05.440 She's not a Republican.

00:53:06.720 She's not a conservative.

00:53:07.560 But she has changed so much.

00:53:13.500 It was a fascinating conversation.

00:53:18.040 I talked to her about, for instance, the border.

00:53:25.960 What would you think somebody on Young Turks would say about the border, okay?

00:53:30.920 Listen to her and her new understanding of the border.

00:53:35.180 I can definitely be honest about my own flaws and my own mistakes because I bought the mainstream media narrative that there wasn't a migrant crisis.

00:53:45.200 Were you leaving?

00:53:45.620 Yeah, I did believe it. 0.99

00:53:46.840 I believe because, look, I was an idiot because, I mean, who do you trust in today's media landscape? 0.99

00:53:53.060 I know. 0.99

00:53:53.500 Right? 0.97

00:53:53.720 There's a lot of liars out there. 1.00

00:53:55.120 Yeah, I know.

00:53:55.500 And when it comes to mainstream media, the fact of the matter is they do play defense more and more for the Democratic Party.

00:54:02.400 And that's an issue because there was a time when that didn't happen.

00:54:06.680 And so I still believed in their good faith reporting, even though it turns out, you know, a lot of these reports would omit really important details about what's really going on.

00:54:17.960 And so it wasn't until Texas Governor Greg Abbott started busing or sending migrants to blue cities where that woke me up.

00:54:27.420 That woke a lot of people up and suddenly America realizes, oh, there is a migrant crisis.

00:54:33.180 Why did that wake you up?

00:54:34.980 Well, because all of a sudden you're seeing migrants sleeping on the floor in the police department in Chicago because they don't have shelter for these people.

00:54:45.000 Right.

00:54:45.620 You're seeing, you know, these I love watching streams of city council meetings because that's how you understand what's really going on in these cities.

00:54:54.880 Right. These are real people who live there and they get their opportunity to speak.

00:54:59.480 Chicago's been an amazing thing to watch.

00:55:02.640 Chicago's been wild.

00:55:03.080 Yeah.

00:55:03.300 I mean, I watch every city council meeting from Chicago because it's incredible.

00:55:06.420 They're crazy.

00:55:06.900 Yeah.

00:55:07.340 And for me, rather than relying on mainstream media reporting or any anyone's reporting, to be quite honest with you, what I'll do is I'll go out of my way and I'll watch, you know, the entirety of a government function, local government function.

00:55:22.720 I talk to real people and I get a sense of where hearts and minds really are.

00:55:29.320 And so on election night, I wasn't surprised at all.

00:55:32.980 I knew what was coming.

00:55:34.440 I totally knew what was coming.

00:55:36.300 I knew that Cook County was going to swing.

00:55:39.140 I think it's about eight percentage points toward Republicans.

00:55:41.460 I knew L.A. County and this is what I was surprised about.

00:55:45.660 I did not expect Donald Trump to flip 10 counties in California from blue to red.

00:55:53.900 But I guess I shouldn't have been surprised about that either, because when you look at the conditions that people are living in, in a Democrat controlled state.

00:56:03.060 Well, yeah, you can understand why people are turning their backs on the Democratic Party.

00:56:07.020 You can understand why people are frustrated at the corruption, at the loss of twenty four billion dollars that was allocated to help the homeless when homelessness only exploded during that time.

00:56:20.640 And that money is now unaccounted for.

00:56:22.420 It was funneled to nonprofits whose executives get paid minimum two hundred, two hundred fifty thousand dollars a year.

00:56:30.280 And they have multiple executives who are making at least that or more.

00:56:34.760 And you just see the waste and you see the real grift.

00:56:38.980 And so for people out there who are concerned about the grifters, take a good hard look at the systemic grifting that's happening right now.

00:56:45.900 It's disgusting.

00:56:47.040 She she was amazing.

00:56:48.420 We started talking about the NGOs and we're on exactly the same page.

00:56:56.160 It was it was really a refreshing conversation.

00:57:00.360 We walked away still disagreeing with each other on things, especially like labor unions.

00:57:06.740 But there are there are so many points of connection now from reasonable.

00:57:15.720 I, you know, I told her, I said, I think that there is, you know, there's the machinery Democrats and the same with Republicans.

00:57:22.800 There's maybe, I don't know, five or ten percent.

00:57:25.440 That's just machinery.

00:57:26.920 It's just the machine that just keeps churning, you know, the graft and the corporations and all of that stuff.

00:57:34.020 It's just all about power and money.

00:57:35.540 Then there's probably eight percent of just crazy out of their mind.

00:57:42.320 We shouldn't even be paying attention to those people.

00:57:45.260 And then there's the middle and the middle just wants things to be done right.

00:57:51.480 No graft, no corruption, transparency, all of all of this stuff.

00:57:55.600 And I think that's where we can really come together.

00:57:59.680 I think that's honestly why.

00:58:04.200 Why Fetterman and others will look at Elon Musk and Ramaswamy and go, this is good, because the ones that actually are not part of the graft,

00:58:16.300 the ones who are going in to serve and know that it's wrong to use the insider trading to make yourself a multimillionaire while you're serving the public.

00:58:30.520 They're tired of it just as much as we are, because they're closer.

00:58:33.940 The ones that we have brought in now are closer to the American people than they are to the machine.

00:58:40.420 And that's, I think, critical.

00:58:43.480 So fascinating conversation more in just a second.

00:58:45.740 First, let me tell you about Rough Greens.

00:58:47.660 Have you ever walked by your dog's food bowl, looked down into it, the pile of kibble, and thought, man, wish I were a dog.

00:58:54.400 That looks delicious.

00:58:56.660 Yeah, I haven't.

00:58:58.740 And that's mainly because it's probably not delicious.

00:59:02.500 Unfortunately, it's not delicious or nutritious for your dog either.

00:59:06.300 It's all dead food.

00:59:07.300 You need something that puts the life back into that food that's all been baked out.

00:59:12.880 Something is Rough Greens.

01:00:21.320 10 seconds, station ID.

01:00:34.340 Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful.

01:00:41.780 And since we've no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

01:00:47.420 Oh, it doesn't show signs of stopping.

01:00:51.500 And I brought me some corn for popping.

01:00:54.120 Welcome back to the program.

01:00:55.420 So I had Anna Kasparian on, and I talked to her about Donald Trump and the cool kids.

01:01:01.180 And how we are seemingly kind of sitting at the cool kids table, which is very bizarre.

01:01:08.420 Listen to this.

01:01:09.800 Do you have hope that there's been a sea change?

01:01:14.640 We're at the very beginning of it, but, you know, it's strange.

01:01:19.540 I was just talking to Donald Trump.

01:01:21.480 I was doing a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago a couple of days ago.

01:01:25.200 And I said, I think, like, we're like the cool kids now.

01:01:31.820 I've never been at the cool kids table.

01:01:33.500 This is wild.

01:01:34.740 Look, I'm going to pause on saying the cool kids.

01:01:39.400 No, no, no, I will say this.

01:01:40.820 But we've never been even near the cool kids.

01:01:44.100 We're in the hallway of the cool kids table.

01:01:47.680 You know what I mean?

01:01:48.260 I know that.

01:01:49.100 But we've never, I mean, and he said, YMCA.

01:01:54.160 How is YMCA suddenly cool?

01:01:56.960 It's not just about that.

01:01:58.640 You know, Trump is, and the audience hates when I say this, but it's just demonstrably true.

01:02:05.080 He's funny.

01:02:06.600 He's an entertainer.

01:02:07.580 I mean, he was an entertainer before, you know, he was a politician.

01:02:11.080 That's for sure.

01:02:11.860 That's what also causes trouble for him.

01:02:14.020 It does.

01:02:14.420 It certainly does.

01:02:15.020 But, you know, I think the reason why you're feeling how you're feeling about the perception

01:02:21.180 of the Republican Party now versus, you know, in the Bush era.

01:02:25.580 Hang on a second.

01:02:26.060 I don't want to say Republican Party because that's not cool.

01:02:28.500 It'll never be cool.

01:02:29.480 There's this new coalition of Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK, Elon Musk, people that are coming

01:02:41.440 from all different points of view.

01:02:43.360 It's the way America that I grew up in.

01:02:46.260 It's the way America was.

01:02:48.680 We disagree on a lot, but we have one central vision, and that is, in this case, end this

01:02:56.000 corruption, end this nonsense.

01:02:58.240 Yes.

01:02:58.740 Yes.

01:02:58.980 Right?

01:02:59.400 Yeah.

01:02:59.600 No, that's a great way of putting it.

01:03:01.200 And, you know, the CEO and my co-host, Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks, he is really trying

01:03:08.840 to bring, like, a populist coalition of people together, you know, and individuals, basically

01:03:15.040 Americans who see the rot in our political system thanks to the corruption.

01:03:19.900 And so it's been his top issue ever since I've met him.

01:03:23.780 And so he's been trying to get money out of politics.

01:03:25.880 So these politicians actually represent what the people want, as opposed to what a small

01:03:32.640 group of corporate executives want.

01:03:35.680 And I think that's really the key in fixing what's broken in our political system.

01:03:40.720 The other thing is, I mean, look, members of Congress really should see themselves as

01:03:44.880 public servants, as opposed to individuals who are elected into office just to enrich themselves.

01:03:49.800 All of them should be.

01:03:50.820 So we have to ban their ability to trade individual stocks.

01:03:56.000 I mean, this is madness that they're able to do this.

01:03:59.100 Ban the trading of stocks.

01:04:01.180 Do not allow them to go into any business that they had any regulation or anything for

01:04:08.040 at least 10 years.

01:04:10.080 I totally agree.

01:04:11.120 This revolving door is obscene.

01:04:15.520 It's a fascinating conversation.

01:04:17.360 It's available everywhere, wherever you get your podcast tomorrow.

01:04:20.740 It might even be something that you can share with a family member and say, look, people

01:04:27.860 are coming back together.

01:04:28.860 I just so want to come back together with you.

01:04:32.940 I want to have a good new year.

01:04:35.460 Let's start a fresh start this year.

01:04:38.540 Podcast tomorrow.

01:04:44.620 We all make mistakes in life.

01:04:46.620 That is a given.

01:04:47.560 And we try not to make mistakes.

01:04:49.360 They're so terrible that you live with it for the rest of your life.

01:04:53.380 But what if you do?

01:04:54.360 I know I have.

01:04:55.400 I've made mistakes that were really hard to get past.

01:04:59.060 So many women in America are living with the decision they might have made to end their 1.00

01:05:04.600 unborn baby's lives.

01:05:06.700 These women are not monsters. 1.00

01:05:08.700 I mean, if you're shouting your abortion, I think you are, but most of them feel trapped

01:05:15.260 and they're lied to and they accept the lies because it allows them to go through with it.

01:05:22.700 And then once they go through with it, they recognize that is clearly a lie and it screws

01:05:28.620 them up for life.

01:05:30.560 Let's save both the babies and the moms. 1.00

01:06:35.040 And I can't, I'm sorry I'm talking about this.

01:06:38.840 I am such a proud father.

01:06:40.640 It is so amazing to see.

01:06:43.160 My daughter, I got home yesterday and she said, Dad, I just got an email.

01:06:48.640 I don't even know how to answer these questions.

01:06:51.440 You know, she just turned 18 and I said, what?

01:06:54.160 And she said, Billboard magazine called me and wanted to know about the orchestra and everything

01:07:00.500 else.

01:07:00.900 And I said, do you know, I was 30 before.

01:07:05.480 I mean, you don't get your name even in Billboard magazine.

01:07:09.000 And she's making the chart of Billboard.

01:07:12.000 And it's just, it's exciting as a dad.

01:07:14.340 And I can't thank you enough for listening to it and buying it.

01:07:18.200 And it's great.

01:07:18.960 Yeah.

01:07:19.260 Too.

01:07:19.540 It's not just being nice to you.

01:07:21.740 It's really enjoyable.

01:07:22.960 It makes me smile every time I hear it.

01:07:24.240 I was so afraid it wouldn't be good and we couldn't release it because I would, I said

01:07:29.780 to her, I said, if it is not, if it's not high quality, something that we would as a

01:07:36.100 family, not knowing you listen to over and over again, I will not be that dad who's like,

01:07:44.400 look at, you know, that Simon Cowell would go, who the hell has been telling you you have talent?

01:07:51.640 Yeah.

01:07:52.020 You don't want that moment.

01:07:52.820 No, you don't want that moment.

01:07:53.340 I will tell you, that's definitely not the case.

01:07:54.920 I went into my daughter's room last night as we, she was putting her down, you know,

01:07:58.760 to go to bed and she was just listening to it.

01:08:00.920 Again?

01:08:01.220 Again.

01:08:01.640 She loves it.

01:08:02.220 This is all she listens to now.

01:08:03.460 Wow.

01:08:03.980 Which is very, very cool.

01:08:05.420 The other part too, is that we saw her perform live, her first live performance the other

01:08:09.560 night.

01:08:10.700 You, it was just, it was fun for number one, just to watch Glenn insides just churn.

01:08:17.260 Like the stress on Glenn is like 10 times what it was on Cheyenne.

01:08:21.200 Because I was so, because I've been 18, you know what I mean?

01:08:24.360 I was 18 and this was the very first time she ever did anything on stage.

01:08:29.140 And I was more nervous than she, you know, she'd come up and she'd be like, dad, I'm nervous.

01:08:33.040 I'm like, you're going to be great inside.

01:08:34.840 I'm like, run for your life.

01:08:37.740 But my point there was to say that like, she, look, you can do a lot of stuff in a studio.

01:08:44.580 I mean, you can, you can make anybody, you can almost make you or me sound good at a

01:08:49.320 studio.

01:08:50.380 But she's on a mic on a little stage outdoors with, you know, I don't know, a hundred people

01:08:55.360 there.

01:08:56.260 And she sounded just like, just like the CD.

01:09:00.000 She sounded incredible.

01:09:00.960 Yeah.

01:09:01.060 There's a, there's a guy that most people don't know.

01:09:03.860 His name is Roger Love and he is on the premier payroll.

01:09:07.980 He was for Rush and I, um, because if Rush would lose his voice or I would lose my voice,

01:09:14.060 we would call him.

01:09:15.100 He's a, he's one of the best vocal coaches in the world.

01:09:18.320 And I mean, he did, he does it for Elton John and Lady Gaga and everybody.

01:09:23.240 Sure.

01:09:23.560 Beyonce.

01:09:23.960 And, uh, I've known him for years.

01:09:25.920 I've known him for years.

01:09:26.680 He's a great guy.

01:09:27.760 And, uh, I said to him, uh, Hey Roger, this is like three years ago.

01:09:33.060 I think my daughter might have talent and, and I know you don't really do a lot of, you

01:09:38.100 know, vocal lessons.

01:09:40.260 Would you, and he's like for you.

01:09:42.580 And I said, yes, if that's a positive, no, if it's not.

01:09:49.360 And he said, no, what, what are you looking for?

01:09:51.440 And I said, I, uh, my daughter.

01:09:53.540 And he said, Glenn, let me listen to her.

01:09:55.340 If she has talent, I'll take her.

01:09:56.700 And, uh, so she, he's been working with her and it's, I mean, she's, she's good.

01:10:03.240 She's good.

01:10:03.680 She is proud, proud daddy.

01:10:05.840 Anyway, I'm sorry for that.

01:10:07.360 Um, Christmas is almost over.

01:10:09.620 I'll stop talking about her soon.

01:10:10.920 Uh, let's see here.

01:10:13.120 Um, we were talking about, uh, coming together for the holidays and being able to have conversations.

01:10:20.800 And I think this conversation with Anna Kasparian yesterday, who is on the young Turks.

01:10:26.800 Uh, I mean, she asked me, she said, would you, would you, would you be willing to come on

01:10:31.760 the young Turks?

01:10:32.700 And I said, probably not.

01:10:34.840 And she said, why?

01:10:36.880 Uh, and I said, well, I would, if it was just one-on-one with you, but I've had so many bad

01:10:43.720 experiences, uh, with others that I, I, I, I did not ambush you.

01:10:51.740 When she walked into the studio, I, I got up to greet her and I grabbed her hand and

01:10:57.540 I said, I want a welcome to my home.

01:11:00.540 And, uh, she said, thank you.

01:11:02.600 And I said, I never invite anyone in my home to ambush them.

01:11:08.020 Please feel relaxed just to have a conversation.

01:11:11.820 I'm going to ask you challenging questions, but I am not looking to get you.

01:11:16.880 And that has been your policy and you stuck to it since the beginning of time.

01:11:20.080 Yeah.

01:11:20.280 Um, and so it, it, it, it gave us this moment, you know, where she was really, she would stop

01:11:25.880 and ask me, she asked me about, you know, about war and Ukraine, uh, and abortion.

01:11:32.200 We had a great conversation on abortion.

01:11:35.160 You know, it sounds like, it sounds like a joyful time.

01:11:37.360 It's a good old Glen Beck Christmas party.

01:11:39.860 Right there.

01:11:41.100 We had a great conversation about abortion.

01:11:42.280 Our Christmas party was happening tonight.

01:11:44.220 You know what else is, what else is red?

01:11:47.160 Blood.

01:11:48.000 Let's talk about abortion. 0.95

01:11:50.280 Merry Christmas, everybody.

01:11:51.760 No, no, but, um, you know, because she was talking about, you know, uh, transgenderism

01:11:57.200 and, uh, and it got to women's rights and she was shocked.

01:12:03.120 It shows how much we don't know about each other.

01:12:06.780 Yeah.

01:12:07.160 And you see the worst of everybody online and eclipse and everything.

01:12:10.360 Let me, let me ask you a question.

01:12:14.200 Oh boy.

01:12:15.240 I don't know exactly how I feel about it yet, but I am a little concerned about.

01:12:20.480 Yes.

01:12:21.280 I think I'll bet you, I'll tell you what I'm thinking after you say it, but I bet you we

01:12:26.240 have the same concern.

01:12:27.200 Um, my concern.

01:12:31.260 May I just say, please just come in.

01:12:35.620 Just, oh my God.

01:12:36.760 I'm not going to just address it.

01:12:39.780 This is just something that, you know, if you are a Blaze TV subscriber, you'll enjoy.

01:12:44.100 Anyway, your concern.

01:12:46.760 My concern is, this is going to be very difficult to do now.

01:12:49.760 There's just, oh, okay, go ahead.

01:12:54.100 Okay.

01:12:54.360 So the concern is, uh, that we are working now with, uh, with many disaffected members

01:13:05.020 of the left.

01:13:06.300 Do not eat the candle.

01:13:07.660 I'm sorry.

01:13:08.520 All right.

01:13:08.820 With many disaffected members of the left who have kind of said, Hey, this is a little

01:13:14.620 bit crazy.

01:13:15.140 Like what's going on right now is insane.

01:13:17.140 Yeah.

01:13:17.640 Um, even though we don't agree on a lot, it's good that we talk and you've done this forever.

01:13:22.280 You've done interviews like this forever, um, where you will, uh, you know, have conversations

01:13:30.300 with people across the aisle and just, you know, get different understandings.

01:13:33.780 That's not abnormal for you.

01:13:36.220 As far as the movement goes, right.

01:13:39.060 Conservative movement.

01:13:40.100 Yes.

01:13:40.660 There's a lot of embracing of people who previously, uh, were not really welcome in conservative

01:13:48.460 policymaking and now are.

01:13:50.600 Like I was watching the, this Elon Musk thing develop and everyone was like, Hey, there's

01:13:54.440 a Democrat joining the Doge committee.

01:13:56.700 Right.

01:13:57.260 Great.

01:13:58.140 Great.

01:13:58.680 Is it, is it though?

01:14:01.060 Cause I, I'm a little concerned, not only that it's just a Democrat, but also that a

01:14:05.160 congressman is now in this process before it's really even starting.

01:14:10.740 And like my guess is the democratic congressman at the end of the day might be a good guy or

01:14:16.040 whatever.

01:14:16.500 I'm concerned he might get a little bit in the way.

01:14:18.840 So, so of, of like a, I'm sorry, buddy, the elf is in the studio and it is.

01:14:24.640 Smiley face. 0.98

01:14:25.340 It's so disgusting. 0.99

01:14:26.100 I gave you a smiley face. 0.96

01:14:26.600 So it is.

01:14:27.100 Look at that.

01:14:27.720 Yeah.

01:14:27.840 Thank you.

01:14:28.220 Thank you, buddy.

01:14:28.880 I drew a butterfly.

01:14:30.060 Yeah.

01:14:30.260 I drew a butterfly.

01:14:30.880 That's great.

01:14:31.460 Thank you very much.

01:14:32.520 I appreciate it.

01:14:33.020 Very nice butterfly.

01:14:33.440 So anyway, now I can't concentrate.

01:14:37.760 I had to go through the whole question.

01:14:39.360 You let them dance around and now it's my turn.

01:14:41.580 And I don't.

01:14:42.700 And lick candles. 0.98

01:14:44.160 And now when you get to answer, you're going to.

01:14:45.860 Santa.

01:14:46.820 Santa.

01:14:47.620 I know him.

01:14:49.080 I'm not Santa.

01:14:50.080 Get out of here.

01:14:50.800 You're giving us a bad name at the knuckle.

01:14:52.960 You no longer look like Santa.

01:14:54.140 You look great.

01:14:54.840 Oh, see, look at that.

01:14:56.560 Thank you, buddy.

01:14:57.300 I love you.

01:14:57.780 I love you.

01:14:58.120 Buddy the elf.

01:14:58.700 Thank you.

01:15:00.340 Thanks, buddy.

01:15:01.380 He's great.

01:15:02.100 This is unbelievable, though.

01:15:03.400 I have to go through this entire long rant while this is going on.

01:15:06.660 Right.

01:15:07.720 What's the website, buddy?

01:15:09.100 Where do people go for you?

01:15:11.920 What is it again?

01:15:14.180 Theelf.net.

01:15:15.620 Theelf.net.

01:15:16.740 Or you can follow me on social media because we have a lot of fun there and you can follow

01:15:19.480 my adventures.

01:15:20.460 I'm at TheElfLive on most socials.

01:15:22.620 TheElfLive.

01:15:23.060 TheElfLive.

01:15:24.120 Thank you, buddy.

01:15:25.060 I love you.

01:15:25.820 I love you too.

01:15:26.940 Bye, buddy.

01:15:27.280 Bye, buddy.

01:15:27.940 Bye.

01:15:28.240 What's your favorite color?

01:15:29.400 I love red and green.

01:15:31.340 They're the most Christmassy.

01:15:32.600 Okay, that's true.

01:15:33.660 Okay, thank you.

01:15:34.580 Okay.

01:15:35.100 So I don't even know if my point made sense.

01:15:36.980 Yeah, okay.

01:15:37.400 So, yes.

01:15:38.080 So I am of the same concern because I think that there are those.

01:15:44.500 I think the Democratic Party is going to recalibrate and want to do the same thing that they already

01:15:51.680 have done, but they'll just change the language and they'll try to appear like they're one of you.

01:15:58.360 You know what I mean?

01:15:59.680 Republicans do that all the time.

01:16:01.360 Oh, I'm with you.

01:16:02.360 And then they get in and they're not with you.

01:16:04.900 So I am concerned about that.

01:16:07.380 However, that's a different concern than I think what we're talking.

01:16:13.300 Oh, okay.

01:16:14.080 I'm sorry, buddy was distracted.

01:16:15.920 No, no, no.

01:16:17.000 What I just said, I think in the buddy context here was the point you answered.

01:16:22.340 And so I think that that's concern number one.

01:16:25.220 I think structurally as this goes on, it's good to bring new people into your fold, right?

01:16:31.580 That's what you want to do as a party, as a movement.

01:16:33.620 You want to get people who used to vote against you to vote for you, right?

01:16:37.760 Like you want that to happen.

01:16:38.660 So you have to have that happen, but you have to make sure you stay to your principles and

01:16:43.180 you have to worry.

01:16:44.020 Like, I really worry with like the Doge thing that like the motivations of some of a Democrat

01:16:50.420 hopping on this committee is not the same as my motivation.

01:16:54.580 I agree.

01:16:54.900 Right?

01:16:55.100 Like they're not really going to be cost cutters.

01:16:57.640 Like I don't see that.

01:16:58.620 See that there might be a little bit they can agree on.

01:17:00.660 That's great.

01:17:01.700 When it comes to the, like you had a conversation with Anna Kasparian about abortion.

01:17:07.980 You mentioned this and you had a really, I think, interesting exchange and you found,

01:17:13.280 I think, some common ground, even though you don't agree on the issue overall, which

01:17:19.060 is, and this is something we've discussed many times, at the end of the day, legislation

01:17:22.580 can be part of it, but you have to get to a place where you're winning hearts and minds.

01:17:26.300 She came, so you know, I don't happen to have this clip.

01:17:28.360 She came at me and because she was saying something and I'm like, huh, sounds like the

01:17:32.820 10th Amendment.

01:17:33.980 And she said, well, it is, it's states' rights.

01:17:36.440 And she said, but let me ask you, Mr. States' rights, would you support a blanket ban on

01:17:43.340 abortion? 0.89

01:17:44.020 Now, the answer is, I believe it's murder.

01:17:47.940 So yes, murder is illegal.

01:17:50.100 You think that should be illegal in all the states, Glenn?

01:17:52.220 Wow.

01:17:52.880 What a radical position.

01:17:54.180 But wait, wait, wait.

01:17:54.740 No, I know, I know.

01:17:55.520 So it is murder.

01:17:56.900 So murder is, I said, but you cannot legislate that now because no one, half the country doesn't

01:18:05.140 believe it's murder.

01:18:06.060 Well, you wouldn't get it through.

01:18:07.140 Right.

01:18:07.440 You wouldn't get it through.

01:18:08.340 That doesn't answer whether you support it or not.

01:18:10.400 But it doesn't stop it.

01:18:12.420 I said, you know, I have a new understanding of abortion where it's always been about the 0.77

01:18:17.800 children.

01:18:19.040 And it is about the children, but it is also about the mothers. 0.83

01:18:24.060 And what they're saying is, hey, moms, go have an abortion and shout your abortion. 1.00

01:18:30.400 80% of the women who have abortions regret it within 12 months and they begin to have real 0.93

01:18:38.600 behavioral and psychological issues with it.

01:18:41.080 OK, this is not a happy thing for women. 1.00

01:18:44.120 Right.

01:18:44.200 If you care truly about women and women's health, we have to then look at the woman and say, what 0.99

01:18:52.420 is causing her to do it? 0.90

01:18:54.260 And there's two things.

01:18:55.180 One, they're believing the lie that it's not a baby.

01:18:59.340 OK, it is because that's why ultrasounds are being fought by Planned Parenthood. 0.96

01:19:04.740 They don't want any ultrasound because you see it.

01:19:07.560 You see the heartbeat and everything else.

01:19:09.240 And you're like, that's a baby.

01:19:10.480 Right.

01:19:10.860 OK, the second thing is, once they get past this, we talk about this with preborn.

01:19:16.400 That's why I like them so much, is they feel trapped.

01:19:20.940 I can't tell you how many nurses I have talked to and they've said the boyfriend or the father

01:19:27.840 or the mother, even, you know, the the mom of the girl will come in and go, she can't

01:19:33.740 have this, there's no support, there's nothing, yada, yada, yada.

01:19:37.920 And the girl is like, I have no other choice.

01:19:41.660 So if we begin to look at the actual issue, not the political issue, the actual issue, what

01:19:52.280 is causing these women, those who have abortion as a form of birth birth control, I think that 1.00

01:19:59.080 should, you know, absolutely that you can regulate.

01:20:01.580 No, you're not having six, eight, ten abortions for birth control.

01:20:05.380 Sorry.

01:20:06.020 Do you have to get a punch card?

01:20:08.220 Yeah, you're 10th one free.

01:20:10.640 But that's not the vast majority of women. 1.00

01:20:14.180 Very minority.

01:20:15.080 Right.

01:20:15.300 And so let's fix that problem and change people's hearts on that because no legislation is going

01:20:22.820 to stop.

01:20:24.040 It's like drugs.

01:20:25.760 No legislation is going to stop the drug guns.

01:20:30.060 You can take all the guns off the streets.

01:20:33.360 It's not going to stop murder.

01:20:36.400 They'll go to knives.

01:20:38.260 Let's start looking at actual solutions and the actual problem and what would work.

01:20:47.100 Yeah.

01:20:47.400 And I agree.

01:20:48.380 Like the long term eternal solution to this, right, is similar to what I think has happened

01:20:54.140 with slavery.

01:20:55.120 Slavery, if you overturned amendments and made slavery legal and someone tried to come out 0.94

01:21:02.920 and pass a bill to say, hey, African-Americans should now go back to the fields, it wouldn't 0.79

01:21:08.360 even come close to passing.

01:21:09.840 Everyone who supported it would be thrown out immediately.

01:21:13.200 It would be, we would reject it easily as a society.

01:21:16.660 Um, I want that to, that is a long-term solution.

01:21:21.400 However, I just don't want to avoid the fact that like, no, I want a constitutional amendment

01:21:25.820 to ban it right away.

01:21:27.280 I agree.

01:21:27.600 We can't abandon those things.

01:21:29.360 Even with slavery, we still buy all of our products made by slaves in China. 0.99

01:21:34.140 There.

01:21:35.100 Back in just a second.

01:25:16.160 Stand up straight and hold the light

01:25:21.140 It's a new day, our time to ride

01:25:25.240 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:25:31.940 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:36.140 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:38.640 Many of us look at transgender care as butchery, as insanity, as something that honestly returns to the Weimar Republic of the 1920s. 0.97

01:25:54.440 This science has been around for a while, and it is junk science, and it is dangerous to our children. 0.98

01:26:00.960 Look, you're an adult. You can do what you want, I guess. 0.97

01:26:02.920 But when children are affected, that's what's in front of the Supreme Court.

01:26:08.880 And the guy who brought this case to the Supreme Court is the Tennessee Attorney General.

01:26:13.740 He joins me in 60 seconds.

01:26:17.760 So, I know America matters to you.

01:26:20.780 And America, if it matters, we have got to start doing things ourselves.

01:26:26.580 American manufacturing matters.

01:26:28.760 And with all that's going on in the world, it matters more than ever.

01:26:33.360 The American giant people, 13 years ago, they wanted to save a clothing factory in North Carolina

01:26:39.760 so they could save the jobs that were there so the community could not turn into what Allentown turned into in the 80s.

01:26:48.580 Making clothing in America is not easy.

01:26:52.460 There is so much cheap competition overseas.

01:26:55.080 A lot of people just stop trying.

01:26:58.400 But why?

01:26:59.060 It matters.

01:27:00.660 And where you spend your money matters.

01:27:02.900 Please take a look at the clothing this Christmas at American Giant.

01:27:07.080 American Giant, you can buy cheap stuff from overseas.

01:27:09.940 Or you can buy American quality that is unmatched anywhere in the world at a very reasonable price.

01:27:16.660 Buy American quality at American-Giant.com slash Glenn.

01:27:21.560 I mean, their hoodies, the zipper is just, it's American quality.

01:27:26.960 It's unlike anything else.

01:27:40.960 Mr. Attorney General, Jonathan, how are you, sir?

01:27:44.820 Great, great.

01:27:45.960 Thanks for having me on.

01:27:46.780 So, I listened to the case, and I don't know how your head didn't explode with some of the questions that were coming from some of those on the left, Sotomayor for one.

01:28:00.020 But overall, how did you feel it went?

01:28:05.320 I think we did a great job of getting our points across.

01:28:10.400 I thought the court, I mean, it went on for two and a half hours or so.

01:28:13.980 The court asked a lot of questions.

01:28:16.020 They're clearly thinking hard about this.

01:28:18.500 It's going to be a long time before we get our opinion.

01:28:21.140 But I think we did everything we could to win this case.

01:28:23.700 I feel really good about our part of it.

01:28:25.880 Now it's up to the justices.

01:28:27.820 You know, there was a, well, first of all, tell me exactly what the case was.

01:28:33.600 What does it actually cover, and what will it do if it's decided in favor of Tennessee?

01:28:42.360 So we have a law in Tennessee, our General Assembly, passed a law that prohibits giving juveniles puberty blockers, hormone treatments, or surgery for the purpose of gender transition.

01:28:54.340 Surgery was not at issue in this case.

01:28:57.140 So this is just about whether the Constitution prevents the state from banning puberty blockers or hormone treatments for the purpose of gender transition.

01:29:06.760 So if we win, our law will remain in effect, and kids won't be able to be subject to that in Tennessee.

01:29:13.680 Potentially, depending on how we win, it could mean that all laws dealing with gender identity are reviewed under a rational basis standard, which gives the people's elected representatives a lot more latitude as to how they regulate.

01:29:30.280 You know, when you were discussing this, and it was Justice Sotomayor said, every medication has, you know, side effects.

01:29:42.720 Even aspirin has side effects.

01:29:45.920 I don't know how you took that question seriously, but you answered it very well.

01:29:49.940 Explain to the average person why this is so different than anything else that is prescribed for kids.

01:30:04.380 Every systematic analysis of the evidence shows little to no benefit for kids from these treatments for gender dysphoria.

01:30:13.800 Meanwhile, the risks are enormous.

01:30:15.660 They face losing fertility for the rest of their lives, never being able to have children.

01:30:20.540 They risk losing their sexual function for the rest of their lives.

01:30:24.060 Kids don't know what they're giving up.

01:30:25.880 They risk tumors and blood clots and cognitive disorders and bone density disorders, all sorts of serious lifelong medical complications.

01:30:35.200 And meanwhile, the evidence is this doesn't help them.

01:30:38.400 You're talking about very severe physical interventions for psychological problems with no evidence that it's helping them with the psychological problems.

01:30:50.140 And so we're looking at a situation where kids are really at risk, where there's not a good medical reason for putting them at risk, and where there are these people saying the Constitution prohibits the state from protecting kids, even where the evidence is so powerfully in opposition to allowing this to happen going forward.

01:31:09.940 I think it was Justice Souter who asked the opposite side, you know, you said that the science backs this up.

01:31:19.980 Well, now we have all this new science that is coming out.

01:31:23.120 Do you want to withdraw that statement?

01:31:26.180 What has happened since you started this process to the evidence that's coming out from everywhere now?

01:31:35.040 So there was a lot of evidence beforehand, but the Cass Review in England is a large-scale, long-term study by an extremely respected pediatrician that looked really hard at these issues.

01:31:49.740 It's controversial around the world.

01:31:51.860 You know, England is not a red state.

01:31:53.460 It is not Tennessee.

01:31:55.120 They were making these procedures widely available to kids for a while, and they looked at the evidence, and they determined that they should not be doing that.

01:32:03.840 But the evidence showed this was hurting kids.

01:32:05.940 They should severely restrict access, and they did, and the Cass Report gets into it very thoroughly.

01:32:11.540 It was discussed with a lot of specificity by the court.

01:32:15.540 You know, it shows there's no reduction in suicide, which is one of the things that we constantly hear.

01:32:20.580 You know, if you don't let kids do this, they're going to kill themselves.

01:32:23.360 We don't want kids to kill themselves.

01:32:25.160 But the evidence is doing these life-altering interventions doesn't make a difference.

01:32:30.260 You know, it just looked at a lot of evidence from a lot of kids, and it showed what we already knew, which is that there is no benefit to justify these radical interventions.

01:32:41.960 So what does this mean if it comes out the way we hope it does?

01:32:48.940 Does this have any effect on bathrooms and sports or anything else?

01:32:58.580 It really depends on what the court does.

01:33:01.200 I mean, there's a way that we could win that's narrower, that only deals with kids' transitions, or there's a way we could win that's broader.

01:33:09.380 If the court says that gender identity issues do not rise to the level of intermediate scrutiny under the Constitution,

01:33:16.700 in which case a lot of the litigation we're facing about bathrooms and school sports and all the other things people have sued over would be pretty easy to resolve.

01:33:26.160 So it's a very broad ruling.

01:33:28.060 Did you see any indication that any of the judges were leaning that way?

01:33:32.420 Were there any questions that gave you any indication that that was possible or probable?

01:33:41.980 There were indications that the justices are thinking about it.

01:33:46.100 There were questions about sports that came up.

01:33:48.680 But I don't know whether that means they're thinking about issuing a broad opinion or they're just concerned about, you know, the potential effects.

01:33:56.200 And, you know, they want to think through exactly how this is going to play out because there's no constitutional law from the Supreme Court on gender identity stuff.

01:34:05.300 We have one case about a very narrow, very specifically worded statute.

01:34:09.560 And the lower courts have been all over the place.

01:34:12.440 They need guidance.

01:34:13.340 They need clarity on this issue.

01:34:15.200 You know, you can't go into a tattoo parlor if you're young without parental permission.

01:34:22.940 You can't buy a gun at 12 or 16.

01:34:27.040 You can't get married.

01:34:28.940 There's all these laws because we know you're not mentally prepared to make those kinds of decisions.

01:34:36.120 How does that logic not work for this issue?

01:34:42.780 You know, there's there's this argument that it's sex discrimination and therefore the Constitution provides a heightened level of scrutiny.

01:34:52.940 But, I mean, we've done this forever.

01:34:55.860 The law treats people differently based on their age.

01:34:58.080 Kids can't consent to things that will have lifelong consequences, whether it's entering a contract or smoking a cigarette.

01:35:05.720 The consequences for these procedures are so much more profound.

01:35:09.560 And we think we have a strong argument that the state should be able to regulate this, particularly given the evidence that it makes no difference, that it does not help.

01:35:21.380 And it increases the risk of all these different horrible outcomes for the kids.

01:35:26.080 The other side just seems, quite honestly, and I don't mean to slam people, but they seem unhinged.

01:35:34.500 I want you to listen.

01:35:35.340 This is a mom who was standing outside of the Supreme Court building while you were arguing the case.

01:35:41.180 Listen to what she said about her child.

01:35:43.580 Cut for her. 0.99

01:35:44.000 What motivated you to come out here today?

01:35:46.640 We're supporting our child, Violet, and her access to the medical care that she needs.

01:35:53.480 Yeah, we're here for her rights and her ability to be who she is. 0.97

01:36:00.940 And she's not going to let anybody silence her, and we're not going to stand in her way.

01:36:05.200 In what age do you think most trans kids determine that they're trans?

01:36:10.880 Violet told us when she was one and a half.

01:36:15.000 She's been telling us since she could speak.

01:36:17.320 Um, so, she knew since birth.

01:36:23.140 Uh, 18 months?

01:36:26.120 18 months she knew?

01:36:30.480 That?

01:36:32.140 I have a three-year-old last week, she told me she was a pirate. 0.91

01:36:35.860 Right.

01:36:36.020 That is a true story, by the way.

01:36:44.020 I mean, gender dysphoria is a real thing, and it is really hard for kids to deal with it.

01:36:48.720 But we have seen an explosion in these cases that sure looks like something very weird is going on.

01:36:54.260 Uh, and we, uh, I don't see how it doesn't come out eventually that there's massive overdiagnosis.

01:37:01.100 In England, a doctor saw a 4,000% increase in the number of girls seeking hormone treatments.

01:37:07.600 And, you know, the evidence is very, very strong that the large, large majority of kids who have any sort of gender identity confusion grow out of it unless they're put on medications.

01:37:19.760 Uh, for most kids, this is a passing thing.

01:37:21.960 It doesn't mean it's not hard for them.

01:37:23.980 Adolescence is really hard, and I have to think gender confusion makes it that much harder.

01:37:28.500 But most of them are going to grow out of it, and for all of them, the evidence of a benefit is minimal at best.

01:37:37.120 Well, um, we'll be praying for the Supreme Court, and I thank you so much for, uh, you filing suit and trying to get this, uh, corrected.

01:37:46.800 It's, it's, it's truly madness.

01:37:48.560 I, I don't, you know, I don't, I don't care what you do as an adult.

01:37:52.880 I mean, I actually do, but it's not my business if you're an adult.

01:37:56.100 But if you can't decide things like smoking, drinking, you know, uh, be responsible for enough with a gun, you certainly should not be able to do things to your body that are permanent and game-changing.

01:38:13.480 It's, it's insanity.

01:38:15.640 It's insanity.

01:38:16.560 We've got to stop.

01:38:17.620 Jonathan, thank you so much.

01:38:19.640 It's an honor to be on the show.

01:38:21.120 Thanks for having me, and Merry Christmas.

01:38:22.500 Merry Christmas.

01:38:23.480 Jonathan Scermetti, he is, uh, the Tennessee Attorney General, uh, who argued just, uh, what, day before yesterday at the Supreme Court to protect children from gender procedures.

01:38:33.640 And we should, by the way, take what he said seriously.

01:38:37.320 If his three-year-old is about to plunder passing ships, we should report that to maritime authorities. 0.96

01:38:44.560 Uh, don't forget the pillaging and the raping. 0.97

01:38:47.420 Yes, immediately. 0.90

01:38:49.300 We, we must take it seriously.

01:38:52.080 If we can save one pillage, or pillaget, one pillage, pillage, somebody, we can save one person from being pillaged, we need to act now.

01:39:08.000 Isn't it worth it?

01:39:09.180 Isn't it worth it?

01:39:10.200 It's just as insane.

01:39:12.100 It really is.

01:39:12.660 It sounds like a joke.

01:39:13.900 No.

01:39:14.080 It is exactly the argument they're making in front of the Supreme Court.

01:39:17.200 How many of our kids have said, I want to be an astronaut, I want to be, you know, I want to be whatever.

01:39:23.700 And then later in life, they're like, yeah, I said what?

01:39:28.380 No.

01:39:29.340 I mean, is this, it's, it's so insane.

01:39:32.280 But I think we just voted for a cure.

01:39:35.620 So let's see how that goes.

01:39:37.200 Let me talk to you about CarShield.

01:39:38.740 Winter is here.

01:39:40.800 Even here in Texas.

01:39:42.300 Man, it was butt cold this morning.

01:39:45.780 Don't like it.

01:39:48.400 Anyway, winter is here, and it is really hard on your car.

01:39:53.920 Winter is, this is when things start to happen, because it's been running fine for a while, and now the cold affects your car.

01:40:02.980 I mean, everything is more expensive.

01:40:04.900 Maybe if you haven't been around a car, you know, auto repair shop lately, you have no idea. 1.00

01:40:10.140 But it's stupid. 0.99

01:40:13.200 It's crazy how much things cost. 0.99

01:40:15.080 If you have a car that no longer is covered by warranty, you should get some assurance when something goes wrong, you're not going to lose your shirt in the process.

01:40:25.400 And that's what CarShield does.

01:40:27.040 CarShield helps Americans just like you protect their out-of-warranty vehicles.

01:40:30.480 They protect my trucks.

01:40:32.060 I want to drive my trucks up at the ranch until the doors fall off.

01:40:34.940 I just want them to work.

01:40:35.800 I just need them to, they're working trucks. 0.63

01:40:38.580 And I probably would have had to replace my trucks, I don't know how many times, if I didn't have CarShield, because they've just kept them going.

01:41:03.520 10 seconds, Station ID.

01:41:16.980 You know, Glenn, you were talking about the kind of insane world we're in.

01:41:25.960 Yeah, and the fact that three-year-old pirates might be a real concern, and we should take that seriously.

01:41:33.220 Another leading indicator as to where our society is going, to me, is the reaction to this healthcare executive being shot.

01:41:43.780 And I honestly can't believe it.

01:41:47.240 I know we talk about how insane the world is all the time, but, like, I can't believe this poor guy being murdered in cold blood is something that, I mean, a large portion of the left is cheering on.

01:42:02.800 I don't know how large it is.

01:42:04.240 I hope it's smaller than my perception.

01:42:06.660 But wait.

01:42:08.820 When has this happened before in history?

01:42:11.140 This exact same thing.

01:42:13.620 You know what?

01:42:14.220 I don't know if this is, if you have an example in mind.

01:42:16.900 I do.

01:42:17.220 Okay.

01:42:17.700 What struck me as, because, you know, I like to, like, think, well, how would I react in a situation like this?

01:42:23.580 Would I react poorly?

01:42:25.560 And what ran into my mind was Eric Rudolph, the guy who was bombing abortion clinics.

01:42:32.060 Yeah.

01:42:32.180 I assure you, my opinion on abortion is more negative than your opinion on healthcare and insurance.

01:42:42.660 I assure you, I think it's a larger crime than whatever you think is going on with denial of claims.

01:42:48.860 I agree.

01:42:49.820 Which is an issue at times, I acknowledge.

01:42:52.100 But at no point would I ever, ever cheer on someone who murdered an abortion doctor.

01:43:01.140 Never.

01:43:01.640 Never.

01:43:02.340 Never.

01:43:02.640 And I think that is, I mean, I can't describe the horrors that I believe are associated with that practice.

01:43:10.140 So the reason why I asked you the history question is because this has been done.

01:43:14.280 This is where Marxism and all of that kind of thinking leads.

01:43:21.780 If you look, the Cathedral of Notre Dame or Notre Dame is being reopened this weekend.

01:43:29.480 It's being reopened as a temple of reason.

01:43:32.700 That's what happened during the revolution in the French Revolution.

01:43:37.740 It became a temple of reason, not God.

01:43:41.060 And when that happens, you get into this, they have it, I don't have it, they screwed people.

01:43:49.800 The society just starts to unwind and you start to see guillotines.

01:43:55.400 You start to see people taking things into their own hands.

01:43:59.680 And after they do the healthcare providers, then they'll do the doctors, then they'll do the nurses, then they'll do the attorneys.

01:44:07.360 And there's nobody left in the end.

01:44:10.360 That's why the French Revolution stopped is because it transformed like three different times.

01:44:18.120 It was like, okay, you're the leader. 0.69

01:44:19.980 Okay, you're dead now. 0.99

01:44:21.520 You betrayed. 0.99

01:44:22.400 Oh, you're the new leader.

01:44:23.840 Well, you betrayed us. 1.00

01:44:25.000 You're dead now. 0.99

01:44:27.320 That's what we're seeing.

01:44:28.600 That's the people that will do this to a healthcare worker or cheer it on are the people that would have been at the guillotine of the French Revolution.

01:44:41.300 I think you're right.

01:44:42.720 I mean, I guess this is a pretty, at some level, human instinct, a horrible one.

01:44:47.400 But one that we've seen over and over again through history, I just, you know, again, I get, you get fooled sometimes maybe by modern life that it's, you know, it feels like it's a lot better and more, you know.

01:44:59.120 No, civilization is on the razor's edge always.

01:45:02.100 Always.

01:45:02.700 Always.

01:45:03.180 I mean, Reagan said it.

01:45:04.480 Yeah.

01:45:04.760 We have no idea how fast civilization can go away.

01:45:11.700 You just shut down food supply.

01:45:16.200 Everything that you know, everything you trust is over within three days.

01:45:22.340 It's true.

01:45:23.660 Three days.

01:45:25.200 You don't, you don't have food and you know no one's coming within 72 hours.

01:45:32.660 It is absolute chaos.

01:45:35.500 And that's based on a bunch of like these war games and studies that they've done over the years.

01:45:39.880 Study after study after study.

01:45:40.820 I mean, you don't need to look further than Katrina.

01:45:43.400 Look what happened.

01:45:44.200 Yeah.

01:45:44.800 No help came for 72 hours.

01:45:47.080 What, what is the exception is what happened in North Carolina because those people were rooted in something deep.

01:45:57.040 You know, they were different.

01:45:58.740 They were neighbors.

01:45:59.780 They were, uh, they were religious and they helped each other.

01:46:04.720 That was the exception.

01:46:06.440 That's why I've said for a long time, hey, you might really want to recognize.

01:46:10.320 Recognize what kind of community you live in and move to one that, you know, everybody knows each other and kind of has the same kind of feeling about, hey, I like God.

01:46:18.660 You like God.

01:46:19.860 He's kind of our buddy.

01:46:21.300 Glenn Beck.

01:46:22.520 Relief factor.

01:46:24.300 I owe a lot to relief factor.

01:46:26.320 It turned days that were overshadowed by constant pain into weeks and months and years that I've actually been able to enjoy myself again and feel good.

01:46:34.740 I love talking about relief factor because it broke the back.

01:46:38.400 I don't even know how, but it broke the back of pain that nobody could figure out how to stop.

01:46:43.240 It's a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation, which is the source of most of the pain in our bodies and a lot of our disease.

01:46:52.100 It's 100% drug free developed by doctors to help reduce or eliminate pain, whether it's neck, back, joint or muscle pain.

01:46:58.660 Relief factor can help you feel better and that can help you start to live better.

01:47:03.120 Over a million people have tried relief factors, quick start kit, and yours truly is one of them.

01:47:08.280 And 70% of them, including me, has gone on to order it again and again.

01:47:13.100 Stop masking your pain.

01:47:15.060 Start fighting back naturally.

01:47:17.500 Give relief factor a try.

01:47:18.760 Right now, their three-week quick start is only $19.95, less than a dollar a day.

01:48:13.940 On my throne.

01:48:17.940 Me and my throne.

01:48:25.040 That is something for King & Country from For King & Country.

01:48:43.440 They have a new tour out and it is a virtual tour.

01:48:48.200 I mean, it's actually in cities, but it's also being seen all over the country and all over the world.

01:48:56.120 It is a concert film.

01:48:57.880 It is unbelievable.

01:49:00.560 These guys, I just saw them a few months ago in Kansas City.

01:49:06.660 And I've been a fan of For King & Country for a while and I like them because they're Christian, but you can listen to them and it doesn't feel like, you know, you're listening to, you're just listening to great music.

01:49:19.240 And even if you don't know their songs, it's strangely like you can sing along with all of them.

01:49:25.800 It is just, it's an amazing thing.

01:49:27.600 Their show is one of the best produced shows I've ever seen.

01:49:33.740 The way it is presented is just phenomenal.

01:49:38.100 Luke and Joel Smallbone, brothers from the Smallbone family, are with me now.

01:49:44.040 Guys, how are you?

01:49:45.860 Well, well, well.

01:49:47.200 From the bowels of an arena in Kansas City a month or so ago to your show today and I don't want to give a spoiler to the listeners, but to the Grand Ole Opry in a couple weeks.

01:50:03.320 I know.

01:50:03.520 That's crazy.

01:50:04.360 That's crazy.

01:50:05.100 I can't thank you guys enough for that.

01:50:07.600 It's just, it's nuts.

01:50:10.480 Do you have any, well, we'll get into that some amount of time on the air or off the air.

01:50:14.600 Tell me about the film that you guys have out in, what are they, it's not.

01:50:23.680 Yeah.

01:50:24.560 Yeah, it's actually in, well, first of all, thanks for having us.

01:50:27.920 Yeah, yeah.

01:50:28.340 And loved our time together.

01:50:30.500 It's in 1,500 theaters across America.

01:50:34.660 So here's the backstory, Glenn.

01:50:36.020 We love Christmas.

01:50:37.480 We love Christmas tours.

01:50:38.280 They've actually sort of become a hallmark of, you know, Luke's and my band for Key & Country.

01:50:44.600 And particularly this song, The Little Drummer Boy, we did sort of a very obvious version of it that Bing Crosby or Frank Sinatra never thought of.

01:50:53.260 And that is, we put a load of drums on a song about a boy playing a drum.

01:50:59.160 And, I mean, I'll have TSA agents come to me and be like, hey, they won't be like, you're part of the King Country.

01:51:05.320 They'll be like, hey, you're the drummer boy guy, right?

01:51:07.080 So you know you've made it when an American TSA agent calls it.

01:51:11.220 But the trouble is, when we do these Christmas tours, you know, the season's so short.

01:51:15.960 And so we can only do about 10 or 12 shows every year.

01:51:18.960 And so we end up, when we announce it, three quarters of America and the rest of the world are all just really upset at us because we can't get to them.

01:51:25.740 And so this was our attempt, you know, in a holiday that we, you know, I feel like we need to be reminded of these great hallmarks of what it means to be human, love and joy and peace and the redemption that comes through God.

01:51:41.140 We need to be reminded of this.

01:51:42.260 So we took a film crew, we put them in the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas last year and captured a cinematic concert experience for the whole family of our live show.

01:51:52.540 And my wife, literally, Glenn, turned to me when she watched the screen and she was like, Joel, I think this is better than your actual live show.

01:52:01.700 So I was sort of encouraged and insulted all at the same time.

01:52:04.780 I have to tell you, who is the artistic director of the show?

01:52:12.260 Well, we all do it together, Glenn.

01:52:15.680 This is Luke here.

01:52:16.500 I mean, look, that's one of the privileges of being able to do work.

01:52:21.200 Joel and I are brothers from the same mother, from the same father.

01:52:25.400 And one of the privileges of working together is actually being able to, you know, create these things together.

01:52:31.920 Our brother Daniel is actually the show designer, but we obviously, we work on this all together.

01:52:38.040 And so, you know, when it comes down to the set lists, the visuals, the technology, yeah, we're involved with all of it because we've actually done this since we were very young boys.

01:52:49.680 Our older sister was an artist by the name of Rebecca St. James, and we went out the road with her.

01:52:53.740 And so I think I was like a lighting director at 14 or 15.

01:52:57.320 Yeah, we broke a bunch of child labor laws somewhere in there. 0.99

01:53:00.640 So, you know, you throw this all together and you create these shows.

01:53:05.680 And, you know, that's one of the things that I love about what we get to do is we get to do it together.

01:53:09.240 I have to tell you, it was awesome.

01:53:12.180 It's one of the best shows I've seen.

01:53:13.820 You know, I haven't seen the Christmas one yet.

01:53:16.940 I've heard, you know, the music, but I haven't seen the actual show.

01:53:19.880 But your music and the staging was, I mean, I sat there with my wife and we were with a bunch of friends and I said, this is incredible.

01:53:32.140 And if you aren't a Christian, you'd walk in here and you'd have really not necessarily any idea if you hadn't really listened to the lyrics, but you would feel what you're feeling.

01:53:45.180 And it just is such a great experience.

01:53:51.020 Yeah, that's kind, man.

01:53:52.360 Look, in our interpretation, at least, the idea of being a Christian or being a Jesus follower, it's an invitation, right?

01:54:02.260 And also, it's a pretty enormous claim that we are in touch with the creator of the universe, that we're in touch with the creator of creativity, the creator of art, the creator of the Sistine chapels.

01:54:14.860 And yet, so often in the modern context, our art feels like second fiddle to pop culture.

01:54:21.980 And yet, and you know this as a bit of a historian yourself, throughout history, the religious arts have led the way.

01:54:29.560 And so, man, we take it so seriously, not for the sake of ego, you know, at least on our better days.

01:54:35.160 Not for the sake of, you know, self-aggrandizing, but for the sake of people looking at this and going, my goodness, what a great God that they must be in touch with to put on and to be inspired to do these types of things.

01:54:53.020 So have you guys been tempted at all to, you know, in the old days, when you'd go to a Christian concert, they would kind of preach at you and, you know, try to convert.

01:55:05.500 And what I loved about it was, it was all there, but it was not in your face.

01:55:12.960 It wasn't, you weren't, you weren't overtly saying, hey, come to Christ.

01:55:18.900 And so you, you, nobody was, nobody could possibly be offended.

01:55:25.660 It was just such a great way to present the message and have people go, what makes them different?

01:55:34.720 Have you been tempted to do, be more obvious?

01:55:40.000 I have to be more obvious.

01:55:41.420 That's an interesting way of putting it.

01:55:42.820 Look, I, you know, I, I'm a big, well, I try to be a big historian.

01:55:46.700 And St. Francis of Assisi was a guy, was a saint many, many years ago.

01:55:51.500 And he had a quote that the young boy really affected me.

01:55:55.240 And he says, preach the gospel and if necessary, use words.

01:56:01.780 And look, I think that that statement should poke at a lot of us as Christians, because our lives should be so unbelievably joyful.

01:56:12.220 A lot, our work should be so unbelievably good that sometimes, yes, sometimes words are required, but I think that most of the time they're not.

01:56:22.700 It's the, it's the presence that you bring that oftentimes people are left talking about.

01:56:28.080 And so I think that for us, man, uh, we, uh, we try to take that, uh, take that statement, uh, we, we, literally, you know, you come into that room, hopefully you feel it and, uh, and you kind of know what's going on.

01:56:41.440 And, uh, you know, that's, that's our hope.

01:56:43.420 So when I saw you, uh, in Kansas city, uh, I had forgotten that we, I mean, I, I know the name small bone, obviously I know your brother, uh, he worked, uh, on one of my early book tours.

01:56:58.360 I, I've seen your movie of your family and everything else, but I had forgotten that at one point you two worked for me for, you did a, I, I, and you reminded me of that.

01:57:11.020 And I'm like, what did you do?

01:57:12.900 Luke, you were, you were, you were, you were a lighting tech or something.

01:57:15.940 No, so my brother Ben is a film director as well.

01:57:18.500 And I guess somehow we were working together, Glenn, because, uh, your team or somebody had said, Hey, what if we do it like a day in the life of Glenn Beck?

01:57:27.160 And so we started at your house and we like filmed you walking out and then we, we filmed you as you went to work that day.

01:57:34.120 But the funny part was I was there to be like the, the, the sound and the audio guy.

01:57:39.260 And before you came out of the door, the love mic that was meant to go on to, onto you, uh, I dropped and literally broke it.

01:57:48.000 And so the rest of the day, I mean, for those of you who are listening, if you see those guys are holding that massive mic above people's heads, you know, to kind of get good audio.

01:57:56.920 Usually that's like the backup mic.

01:57:58.960 Well, that day I made a mistake, broken the mic.

01:58:01.900 And so I'm having to chase, you know, Glenn around all day with this massive mic because I had broken the love mic.

01:58:07.520 So yes, we worked together many, many years ago and it's a small wall that a crazy story, a crazy story to look at where you are now.

01:58:16.840 I mean, you're massive worldwide.

01:58:20.760 Congratulations.

01:58:23.080 Oh, thanks, man.

01:58:24.380 It's a, it's a, you know, you know, this better than anyone.

01:58:27.040 It's a team, it's a team sport, right?

01:58:29.780 This whole idea of being human was never meant to be an individual, you know, concepts.

01:58:35.420 We were meant to, we were meant to do this together.

01:58:37.920 And I think that's what, you know, for King Country represents, that's what these live show represents.

01:58:42.300 It's collaboration, it's compromise, it's, it's, you know, uh, creatively putting our minds together.

01:58:49.380 And that's what the Drum Boy Christmas live, you know, in cinemas really represents.

01:58:53.280 It's like, we took the same film crew from our movie Unsung Hero that was released.

01:58:58.780 It's basically our parent's story.

01:59:00.320 Luke produced it and I play our dad in the film, which I dubbed a very expensive therapy session.

01:59:05.940 But we took the, we put the, we took the same film crew and we put them in that Toyota sensor to capture this.

01:59:11.860 So what I love about this, this concert film and what we, what we've gotten to do live,

01:59:16.560 but also what we're getting to do cinematically now is that we're getting, you know, to, uh, invite people, not only in America,

01:59:24.940 but this film's going up to Canada.

01:59:27.360 It's going across to the UK.

01:59:29.120 We're playing a couple of shows in the UK at the O2 Indigo Theater next week.

01:59:33.480 It's going down to Australia.

01:59:34.620 It's going to New Zealand.

01:59:35.560 And so this is the beauty and, and you know, this with radio, right?

01:59:38.920 We we're, we're talking right now and there's thousands and thousands of people listening to this.

01:59:43.420 It's just a, this is when art and technology come together.

01:59:47.620 You, you're able to do something really cool.

01:59:49.960 Um, so we're talking to for King and country, uh, they're, um, they're a drummer boy.

01:59:56.340 Christmas live will be available in select theaters.

01:59:59.860 December 5th.

02:00:01.620 What day is it that today?

02:00:03.540 The six yesterday.

02:00:05.060 Wow.

02:00:05.300 Right now.

02:00:05.920 Yeah.

02:00:06.280 Uh, through the 19th.

02:00:08.200 Uh, and if you've never seen them, you, I cannot explain how good they are.

02:00:13.420 They are really, really great.

02:00:15.380 You want to get into the Christmas mood.

02:00:17.260 I can guarantee a good time.

02:00:20.160 Uh, how do you get tickets?

02:00:23.340 I think if you, I mean, you should be able to go to your local theater, but fathomevents.com

02:00:28.580 has kind of got all of the theaters.

02:00:31.120 It'll, I think it uses your zip code and be able to direct you to the place to kind of go

02:00:35.640 see your, uh, your, at your local theater.

02:00:37.860 Yeah.

02:00:37.980 Great for King and country.com.

02:00:49.400 Bye.

02:00:50.620 Let me tell you about Mantis X.

02:00:52.300 I, I, I don't like to miss when I shoot at something, uh, especially these days, cost of

02:00:57.640 ammo.

02:00:57.920 You're like, really?

02:00:58.980 Huh?

02:00:59.240 Didn't go ping.

02:01:00.120 Um, you know, I, I, I shoot, I shoot seriously.

02:01:05.860 I don't spend enough time to, uh, really be as good as I, I think I can be.

02:01:13.020 I'm a good shot, but to feel the confidence to be able to be in a convenience store, somebody

02:01:18.560 is being beaten, uh, and they're not stopping and you pull out your gun, you better be, you 0.99

02:01:24.820 better be good and you better be prepared to kill that person. 0.85

02:01:28.540 And it, it, the confidence, uh, that you need to be able to pull out your gun, uh, along 0.86

02:01:35.320 with all the other stuff is scary.

02:02:30.600 What is it?

02:02:43.880 What is it?

02:02:47.700 Oh.

02:02:50.100 Geez, I made the mistake of asking Stu.

02:02:53.060 Did the Lions win last night?

02:02:54.940 And man, it was like, I don't know, like somebody died.

02:03:00.420 Yes, because I needed them to lose that game because then the Eagles would be the one seed.

02:03:04.700 That's what I need.

02:03:05.880 And unfortunately, they won and everyone's like, oh, what a great job.

02:03:08.800 They went for it on a late fourth down.

02:03:11.300 And they went for it, which would have been a catastrophe if they didn't make it.

02:03:15.200 But they decided to go for it in a tie game in field goal range, which wound up icing the game.

02:03:20.460 I, you know, I don't know.

02:03:21.580 I just, I use the Lions as an example of the entire world.

02:03:27.800 Did we slip through a wormhole?

02:03:30.180 I'd like the Lions too.

02:03:31.540 No, I know.

02:03:32.340 If not for the Eagles, I want them to win.

02:03:34.360 I want them to win too.

02:03:36.160 I mean, I just, I root for the underdog.

02:03:39.260 And Detroit, man, that it's got to be, I was in Kansas City during, you know, during one of the big games.

02:03:47.620 And the whole city was just vibrating.

02:03:51.540 You know?

02:03:51.980 Yes.

02:03:52.360 It's an era.

02:03:54.000 It's a moment in time that people that are living in Kansas City right now will never forget.

02:03:59.580 The same thing in Detroit, except it's got to be even more crazy in Detroit.

02:04:06.280 You've never seen them win anything.

02:04:08.380 Never been to a Super Bowl.

02:04:09.960 And last year, they absolutely had it locked down in the championship game with a massive lead and somehow blew that game to the 49ers.

02:04:19.800 So.

02:04:20.260 And there's good, as I understand it, they're good players, but it's really the teamwork.

02:04:25.140 It's not like a couple of stars.

02:04:28.140 It's.

02:04:28.760 Yeah, you can make that argument.

02:04:30.500 They don't have like the big star quarterback.

02:04:32.460 Right.

02:04:32.660 Where you like, you know, obviously a Mahomes.

02:04:33.960 I mean, they're not.

02:04:35.000 Yeah, Goff is a good quarterback.

02:04:36.100 He's not bad.

02:04:36.340 Yeah, he's had a great year, but like not.

02:04:38.620 They're not seen like that superstar type team, though.

02:04:41.100 They have some really good players on that team.

02:04:43.580 I mean, they're.

02:04:44.800 I know.

02:04:45.420 Yeah, I know.

02:04:46.040 But the coach seems to be.

02:04:47.960 He's fun.

02:04:48.560 Yeah.

02:04:48.800 Dan Campbell.

02:04:49.360 Yeah.

02:04:49.600 Yeah.

02:04:49.740 Uh, wow.

02:04:51.280 I just realized a lot of listeners must be thinking, what kind of wormhole did I just

02:04:56.420 slipped through?

02:04:57.740 It's a good point.
