It was my 23rd anniversary, wedding anniversary.
00:00:22.800
I'm at this, you know, I had my 20th anniversary recently.
00:00:29.120
And I thought to myself, like, wow, like, I've been together.
00:00:35.020
Going back a couple of years before that, like, we've basically been together half of our lives.
00:00:42.140
25 years for us, which is, you know, four years from my entire life.
00:00:52.800
Anyway, so it's strange because it's also the anniversary of this program.
00:01:06.300
Moved to Tampa and started the show on the following Monday.
00:01:11.860
Tomorrow's broadcast is the 23rd anniversary of the Glenn Beck talk radio program.
00:01:19.420
There were like, it's like, this is like the 23rd anniversary of the Omicron variant.
00:01:26.960
And it was just as helpful to society as that variant.
00:01:31.700
Okay, speaking of medical stuff, Jace Medical is a name I want you to remember.
00:01:41.720
The American Society of Healthcare Pharmacists, group that tracks the production of medications around the world,
00:01:46.800
has declared that there is a worldwide shortage of antibiotics, specifically amoxicillin.
00:01:56.600
If there is one thing we learned or should have learned from the pandemic is we should make our medicine here.
00:02:07.280
If there is some sort of a breakdown or a shortage, what do you have?
00:02:12.260
Well, Jace is making now the Jace case from Jace Medical.
00:02:16.900
And it is a great way to keep yourself prepared for the worst.
00:02:19.620
It is a pack of five different courses of antibiotics that you can use to treat a long list of bacterial illnesses,
00:02:27.260
things like UTIs, respiratory infections, sinusitis, skin infections, a lot more.
00:02:32.580
It is a great way to be ready for shortages and a perfect thing for traveling.
00:02:39.360
She said, my child developed an infection while we were on vacation.
00:02:48.060
Her doctor later told us it was likely the antibiotics that saved her life.
00:02:54.180
Listen, don't get caught unprepared for anything.
00:03:01.180
Use the offer code BEC10 and check out for $10 off your order.
00:03:18.060
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:25.260
I don't know about anybody else, but I'm thinking that it worked out pretty good holding McCarthy, you know, for 15 votes.
00:03:40.360
Can you believe the dysfunction in the party and all that?
00:03:51.960
Minimum 72-hour reading period for all bills presented to Congress.
00:03:57.760
Now, you would think that, well, we already have that because that's exactly what President Obama...
00:04:04.120
I'm just going to just point out, the Freedom Caucus actually got in writing what President Obama said he was going to do and never did.
00:04:18.320
Because we don't have a constitutional republic anymore.
00:04:23.560
The way this is being run is there is no appropriations committee, really.
00:04:28.900
There is no way to have the power of the purse with Congress because they don't make a budget.
00:04:35.620
They just give you one lump sum and then let the president divvy it out.
00:04:51.620
You also no longer have the same process of debate on the floor.
00:04:57.560
When was the last time you saw, except for last week, when was the last time you saw Congress all sitting together as a House of Representatives and debating and have people behind them listening to them?
00:05:12.020
Everything that you have seen on the House floor where somebody gets up to make a statement, there's nobody else in the House.
00:05:24.380
And this is why one of the first things they do, and this is Republicans and Democrats, one of the first rules they pass is to make sure C-SPAN cameras can't be pointed at the gallery.
00:05:35.400
Because they don't want you to see that no one's there.
00:05:37.840
So the only reason you saw any of this stuff with McCarthy and Matt Gaetz and the guy being restrained and all, the only reason you saw any of that is because the speaker wasn't in place yet and the rule wasn't set yet so that the C-SPAN cameras could be pointed at the gallery.
00:05:56.960
You're never going to see that stuff again for two years.
00:05:58.940
But because they hadn't put those rules in yet, you've got this small window of time to actually see what was happening.
00:06:12.240
I want to see what they're doing as they represent us.
00:06:17.660
It was all decided by Nancy Pelosi and Kevin McCarthy, and then it was Chuck Schumer and Turtle Face, and those four were making the decisions of what would come to the floor of the House and the Senate, and then they would give it to you, you know, maybe five hours before a vote.
00:06:43.060
You need your staff to go over what is in that bill.
00:06:45.860
Now, that's what the House Freedom Caucus just accomplished for you.
00:06:52.820
Conservatives who are against this, will you, you don't have to apologize, will you at least admit this is something good?
00:07:12.380
Or does that work to your advantage as somebody who belongs to the United States of America as a voting citizen?
00:07:25.040
Now, they also got a commitment on a committee to study potential FBI abuses against the American public.
00:07:32.980
That's a church committee, and I'll explain that later next hour.
00:07:41.780
For everybody who thinks it's an extremist thing, on the left, term limits.
00:07:49.540
But they're at least going to get a vote on term limits.
00:07:53.780
That's something that almost every American is for.
00:07:57.000
One of the most popular things in our discourse.
00:08:06.320
For Republicans or Democrats, this is the first time I've seen a group of people actually do the work of the American people and take all the arrows and keep standing.
00:08:19.100
When's the last time you saw anybody do that in Congress?
00:08:22.800
Not for some special interest, not for something that is really divisive.
00:08:37.400
I wish these guys were in charge, honestly, because they're only asking to live by the Constitution.
00:08:52.800
Now, we're going to get into this a little later.
00:08:58.160
But I want to talk to you about how the world is completely inside out.
00:09:03.700
And I've spent a lot of weeks reading and studying and praying and looking at what is the message that I can bring to you that will be helpful and additive to your life.
00:09:22.480
I will tell you that I truly believe the only thing that will save our nation, really, truly, miraculously save it, is God.
00:09:31.960
If we turn back to the Lord is if we turn back to the Lord and beg forgiveness and ask for his blessings again.
00:09:39.380
If we don't do that, we are going to go the way of every other empire of history.
00:09:47.580
And we will find ourselves in true slavery, unlike anything that the world has seen ever before.
00:09:57.220
Because China is the future, except it will be global.
00:10:03.540
So, as I'm watching the rioters in Brazil, which we'll talk about later, and I'm seeing what's going on.
00:10:11.240
They're trying to say that this is, you know, January 6th.
00:10:14.180
This is nothing like January 6th, although it has many of the same motivations as what Americans who voted for Donald Trump were feeling.
00:10:34.200
This is us against, not Republicans, Democrats, but this is a machine that is crushing the average person.
00:10:45.000
I want to give you the perspective here to think about that what you're really fighting is not left and right.
00:10:52.740
What you're really fighting is not Democrat and Republican.
00:10:55.500
What you're really fighting, and I said this to you last week, and I want you to understand it before I add in something today.
00:11:03.580
What you're fighting is a globalist, fascistic movement called the Great Reset, which really is run by the global corporations and the elite presidents, prime ministers, governors, parliaments of the West.
00:11:25.660
Okay, it's an international fascist, okay, it's an international fascistic sort of system, business and government colluding because they know better.
00:11:35.100
Then on the other side, you have the national great reset, if you will, the national fascist, and that is China and Russia, where it's all run by a bunch of oligarchs or, you know, the party in China.
00:11:53.100
And they collude with business to make money and keep the average person down at the bottom of the ladder.
00:12:05.180
But what we're actually fighting is international fascist, that's the Great Reset, that's what America is pushing for in Joe Biden.
00:12:15.220
And then you have the Chinese model, the national fascists.
00:12:27.980
And that's why so many people who are former liberals, you'll read this from people in their tweets or their comments on things.
00:12:41.240
They'll say, it's just too crazy to hear a conservative talk about, you know, going local and think local and, you know, support your farmer's market.
00:12:56.920
Because we admit you were right about some of this stuff.
00:13:06.140
Maybe we should back off of some of that stuff and mind our own business.
00:13:09.560
You were right about the government and business colluding.
00:13:17.080
And you were right that the power really is local.
00:13:25.220
Local, if we fix us ourselves locally, the power remains closest to the people.
00:13:35.080
This is the basic principle of the American Constitution.
00:13:40.040
You keep all of the power closest to the people, not in some far distant city of Washington or, God forbid, in some far distant EU or the United Nations.
00:13:53.640
You keep it closest to you because you have the best ability to fix the problems on the ground.
00:14:01.800
If I call 911 because my house is on fire, I want that 911 call to go to my local community that is in touch with my local fire department.
00:14:14.600
I don't want it to go to some national 911 call that will prioritize which city is more important and then filter it down to my local.
00:14:26.560
That's the most effective way to fight the fire.
00:14:36.020
The media is helping either China or the Great Reset crowd.
00:14:41.700
So either the international fascist or the national fascist.
00:14:46.620
The media is helping both of those two and providing you with a false choice.
00:15:02.700
That's what they don't have a constitution like this around the rest of the world.
00:15:14.200
That's why you're seeing them all throughout Europe.
00:15:17.260
That's why farmers are standing up in the Netherlands.
00:15:37.700
I just I want to go over how important the the winning of a committee, a church like committee
00:15:48.580
that has nothing to do with church, by the way, has everything to do with investigating the CIA,
00:15:54.540
the NSA, the FBI, all of these government agencies and finding out the truth of what
00:16:18.120
What is it that our CIA and FBI and everybody else is involved in?
00:16:23.500
And they uncovered and proved all of these things that were conspiracy theories, all of it, a
00:16:39.540
Now, this was a this was a a rumor, a conspiracy theory about the CIA.
00:16:49.900
And what they did was they're not supposed to operate here in America, but they were and
00:16:56.720
they were manipulating the American news media organizations for propaganda and Project Mockingbird
00:17:04.820
recruited leading American journalists into a network and they influence the operations
00:17:17.860
And what they were doing is this front group with these journalists, they were coming out
00:17:23.620
and saying, oh, no, this is this is the way this is what the story really is about, yada, yada.
00:17:29.100
And they were taking all of their marching orders from the government and the CIA.
00:17:36.820
The church group proved that Project Mockingbird was happening and then set up, you know, a committee
00:17:46.560
in Congress to make sure that there was oversight on the CIA so they wouldn't do it again.
00:17:52.700
But may I ask you, do you think the Pentagon, the CIA, the FBI, that they have infiltrated
00:18:01.280
and have front groups that are pushing a narrative on our journalists?
00:18:13.860
Look at look at all of these guys from the CIA, all the guys from the this is definitely
00:18:21.160
this has all the earmarks, all the earmarks of a Russian propaganda when they knew that
00:18:31.440
I mean, going back to Ben Rhodes and the Obama administration who went to the press and said,
00:18:36.200
you know, we told them basically admitted we told them lies about Iran because none of these
00:18:41.900
reporters knew anything about it so they'd believe anything we said.
00:18:48.340
I mean, they are, you know, the attempt is not shocking.
00:18:51.840
But when we catch them, there should be consequences.
00:18:59.360
Many of these were well-known conspiracy theories.
00:19:02.900
And that's how they were referred to as conspiracy theories.
00:19:07.380
And nobody would report on them until the church committee.
00:19:27.540
This was an espionage exercise that was happening here in the United States, run by the AFSA,
00:19:38.360
which was the predecessor of the National Security Agency.
00:19:43.220
And what they did, and see if you don't think this is happening, what they did is they got
00:19:48.280
access to daily microfilm copies of all incoming and outgoing and transiting telegrams from
00:20:00.140
Western Union, plus everything from RCA and ITT.
00:20:06.300
They were looking at all messages, all conversations that they could get their hands on coming in
00:20:14.340
and going out from citizens here in the United States.
00:20:20.860
We just have, the NSA just has a better way of doing it now.
00:20:25.040
They just have more powerful, you know, computers and algorithms.
00:20:33.020
Well, some version of it is definitely happening.
00:20:35.480
I mean, that's what the Snowden situation showed us quite a bit of that, right?
00:20:54.720
This was a project to arm and help terrorists that were anti-communists, mainly in Italy.
00:21:08.700
So our government was helping to overthrow governments.
00:21:17.300
Not now, but just during the Obama administration?
00:21:27.760
November 21st, 1964, a package containing a letter and a tape alleging Martin Luther King's sexual indiscretions
00:21:38.140
was delivered to Coretta Scott King, wife of Martin Luther King Jr., and later to King himself.
00:21:47.960
However, Martin Luther King suspected the FBI sent the letter, a conspiracy theory.
00:21:55.720
Coretta Scott King described the tapes by saying, I couldn't make much out of it.
00:21:59.980
The letter does not specify precisely what action they are urging King to undertake.
00:22:07.740
King understood the letter as advocating that he commit suicide.
00:22:11.140
Some say that it was just urging him to decline the Nobel Peace Prize and step out of leadership.
00:22:18.780
The church committee found that, yeah, that wasn't a conspiracy theory.
00:22:31.700
I mean, do we really think that these things aren't happening right now?
00:22:44.940
We know the White House is telling people in social media.
00:22:49.840
Isn't that also exactly what Project MK Ultra was?
00:22:55.280
This is something else the church committee took on.
00:22:57.600
A program designed and undertaken by the CIA intended to develop procedures and identify drugs
00:23:04.240
that could be used in interrogation to weaken individuals and force confessions.
00:23:13.760
Numerous methods to manipulate subjects' mental states and brain function.
00:23:19.580
Can't we say that that's most likely happening with the CIA and Google, Facebook?
00:23:30.020
You really think that no one in the NSA, CIA, FBI is trying to, let me give this again,
00:23:38.700
weaken individuals or manipulate subjects' mental states and brain functions?
00:23:52.960
Do you think that it is important that we look into what our government is doing,
00:24:01.080
seeing that all of these things, it's a conspiracy theory,
00:24:05.120
all of the things back in the 60s and 70s that were, quote, conspiracy theories, end quote,
00:24:14.760
Do you think it might have been important for 20 Freedom Caucus members to stand up against
00:24:25.300
the machine and say, we want a committee to look into exactly the same things that the
00:24:36.840
And we want teeth so you can actually get the information and get to answers.
00:24:47.720
I think everyone who said this is the biggest crisis ever doesn't owe an apology.
00:24:59.360
But I would like to hear them at least come out and say, you know what?
00:25:10.040
But what they got, what they actually got, is pretty good.
00:25:15.600
And not just for Republicans, but for the Constitution and every single American.
00:25:23.340
Because if you think that this kind of this kind of black operations can happen in a free
00:25:33.300
country and not affect you, I don't care how you voted.
00:25:37.240
You are a fool or you're at least fooling yourself.
00:25:41.360
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:25:58.260
CNN said, you know, that he was dangerous last week.
00:26:04.400
And now they're saying he's gone from a critic to a kingmaker.
00:26:17.960
If they were honest at all, they would have seen that coming last week.
00:26:23.560
Like, my favorite part of this was Gerald Nadler, who came out and he said, if there's
00:26:31.780
This is meaning that we don't have a Speaker of the House yet.
00:26:34.280
Either the Republicans don't understand that, or they do understand that, and they don't
00:26:38.800
I don't know which is worse, but it's a profound danger to the country as long as it lasts.
00:26:45.100
Now, eagle-eyed viewers might be able to detect the fact that at any point, Gerald Nadler and
00:26:54.480
any of the other Democrats could have voted for McCarthy to put him over the 218 threshold.
00:27:04.620
They knew Hakeem Jeffries was never going to be Speaker this term.
00:27:11.420
And by his definition, putting the entire country at risk.
00:27:26.120
They didn't do it because they were taking a stand.
00:27:30.160
They didn't want their name on this leadership for whatever reason.
00:27:43.900
I guarantee what they would have done in those four days was nowhere near as consequential
00:27:51.320
The main thing they would have passed is, hey, no longer, C-SPAN cameras can no longer
00:27:55.440
point their cameras at people in the gallery so we catch them doing things.
00:28:02.700
I mean, McCarthy, when he came up to Gates and Boebert.
00:28:29.780
And came and was going to say something that somebody else put his hand over the congressman's
00:28:42.060
One, I think the restraint, there's like he restrained, it almost came to blows.
00:28:45.580
To me, it looked like somebody realized this is going to be on TV and you shouldn't say
00:28:52.420
It wasn't a physical, like, pulling him back like he was going to get into a fight.
00:28:56.480
It was pulling- He specifically starts with his shoulders and then pushes his hands up
00:29:00.180
to his face so he doesn't say the thing he's about to say.
00:29:04.120
That's not about they're about to get into blows.
00:29:05.860
They were about to get into a big fight verbally.
00:29:08.740
And they didn't want that to be exposed to the cameras, which normally you can't see
00:29:15.380
Secondarily, on Gates, everyone was bashing Gates because they were going after him.
00:29:21.920
But quite clearly, there was a deal in place after the Chip Roy faction had already come
00:29:31.240
They needed four out of the remaining seven or six to come to just say present.
00:29:43.380
The third person, whoever that was, a lot of people think it was Rosendale, but the
00:29:48.820
third person said, voted for Jordan or one of the other candidates.
00:29:54.800
And then Gates got all the heat because he was the last one who went.
00:29:58.920
He was the last one who went and he said present instead of voting for McCarthy, which would
00:30:03.440
Again, none of this made any difference because five minutes later, they just voted for him
00:30:10.900
He got the physical, you know, sort of confrontation.
00:30:14.680
And he was the one that was focused on by almost every media source.
00:30:18.880
And I'm not like a Gates defender or anything, but like it seems like someone else bailed on
00:30:24.500
Someone else said they were going to vote present and then changed their mind right beforehand
00:30:30.860
Did they get anything in that last, because I know the last two votes were kind of close
00:30:42.260
I think what happened was there was a deal cut for the 14th round.
00:30:45.820
Then I think Gates and Boebert stuck to the deal and said present.
00:30:59.700
From many of the American people, thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:31:04.500
It should come from all quarters of the American people, because I don't think what you gained
00:31:21.060
And, you know, I was in D.C. this whole weekend.
00:31:29.920
We're still working hard to try to make sure we get this all structured correctly.
00:31:33.980
I do think we won a significant battle of public opinion by the end of the week.
00:31:38.100
We were trying to fight for structural, fundamental, transformational changes.
00:31:43.440
But, you know, look, miles to go before we sleep, right?
00:31:47.700
So can you tell me about the church committee and the details of that?
00:32:01.300
I would have preferred slightly more independence to elevate it to the level that I thought was
00:32:05.780
critically important, given the extent of the weaponization of government.
00:32:09.040
However, given the track record of Jim Jordan being willing to take on the establishment in
00:32:13.640
this town and take on and do the kind of investigative work necessary, we agreed for a number of reasons
00:32:20.360
to put it as a subcommittee within the House Judiciary Committee.
00:32:24.840
But it would have autonomy to a degree, obviously, with Jim on the subcommittee and significant
00:32:31.340
players that would be off of the Judiciary Committee combined with the smart lawyers on Judiciary Committee
00:32:36.420
who know how to execute this sort of thing with broader jurisdiction to be able to touch on intel
00:32:43.220
So we're still dotting every I and crossing every T literally today as we speak.
00:32:48.040
We believe we have an agreement in principle that we think will give us significant more power and scope
00:32:57.300
So when it comes to the details, and especially of the church committee,
00:33:02.760
is there anything that we should know or anything that they can take away at this point?
00:33:10.320
No, I mean, look, I think what we're now trying to do is figure out the who and the exact mechanics.
00:33:18.360
We press for bigger budget, bigger staffing, bigger breadth of jurisdiction to be able to make sure that,
00:33:25.060
for example, it's not enough to say, oh, the Judiciary Committee will go after the FBI
00:33:29.640
and Energy and Commerce will haul Anthony Fauci in for some health care stuff
00:33:33.900
and Homeland Security will do something because it's China.
00:33:35.460
We need to have a centralized command and control ability to go across the entirety of the federal government
00:33:41.240
to see who was talking to whom, to go after the American people for what reason,
00:33:45.620
whether it was related to COVID, whether it was domestic terrorism for parents who were going to school boards,
00:33:52.240
whether it's DHS, what the intel community is doing, who is collecting information on people,
00:33:58.800
We need to be able to go broadly and look and dive into and hold this administration accountable.
00:34:04.580
We think we've achieved that to a significant degree,
00:34:08.580
but the who and the exact mechanics are going to be important.
00:34:12.640
But again, Jim Jordan is a good friend with a track record,
00:34:15.220
and we've given broader jurisdiction within this subcommittee.
00:34:20.340
And it has the teeth to, if it's Fauci, if any of these things happen,
00:34:26.440
you can defund and recommend for criminal behavior if it's found?
00:34:35.360
Look, first of all, we've got to exercise the power of subpoena.
00:34:44.160
If you're talking about what we're going to be able to do to hold them accountable,
00:34:47.900
look, on defund, the Senate, you know, they screwed us, Glenn,
00:34:53.100
So we don't have defund power until next October.
00:34:56.400
So we're going to spend now nine months building up to a conservative budget,
00:35:00.740
conservative spending that will restrain Leviathan.
00:35:03.220
We got that promise, that pledge to cap at 22 levels
00:35:09.540
If we do that, we're going to be beating the crap out of non-defense discretionary
00:35:19.460
have accountability for the FBI, for the IRS, for DHS, et cetera.
00:35:23.760
But that's going to take nine months to get there
00:35:28.180
Are you seeing anybody that last week was opposed
00:35:45.400
But I've had some good text messages, some good conversations,
00:35:51.760
There's still a little bit of, you know, hard feelings.
00:35:56.200
A few of my colleagues have gone out there and said,
00:36:00.780
We posted on December 8th a letter listing the things that we thought we needed.
00:36:09.560
We debated within the four corners of roughly that agreement or that, you know, set of asks
00:36:17.680
trying to extract the right level of promises and belief system that we would get there.
00:36:22.340
We were given enough tools that gave us comfort that we moved the needle.
00:36:25.680
But, you know, it's going to take a while to execute and make sure we can get it done.
00:36:30.120
This is the first time I have seen the media end up on the Freedom Caucus side
00:36:40.600
Usually when you fight like this, the Republicans never win.
00:36:51.160
That standing up and fighting for something that everybody on all sides should want
00:37:05.380
Well, part of the problem for the American people is the opaqueness, right?
00:37:09.840
Like, it was kind of cool having the C-SPAN cameras following us on the floor,
00:37:16.160
It was important to have 434 bodies there on the House floor this entire week.
00:37:21.340
It was important to be able to get up and give speeches somewhat open-ended
00:37:24.880
in front of the whole body and see what would happen.
00:37:27.460
For example, when I stood up and nominated Byron Donald for the first time,
00:37:30.560
we had two black Americans in nomination for Speaker of the House.
00:37:35.060
And to say, you don't own playing games about race over there on the Democratic side.
00:37:41.760
We stand up for people that we believe regardless of skin color and are willing to stand up behind
00:37:46.860
someone like I did, like Byron Donalds, because I believe in him.
00:37:54.040
At the end of the day, we worked out a deal and arrangement, including with Byron sitting
00:37:57.960
at the table at the room with me and with Dan Bishop and Scott Perry from the Freedom
00:38:02.660
We worked out an arrangement that we think will improve things.
00:38:18.500
I just ask all of our conservative activists, friends and listeners out there, keep the pressure
00:38:25.700
But we're doing what we can, we think, to move the needle in this town towards openness
00:38:29.860
and a sense that we're going to try to do the work of the American people and empower
00:38:34.080
your congressmen, not just a few people, to be able to execute for them.
00:38:38.060
Congressman Chip Roy from the great state of Texas, a man I hope eventually runs for Senate
00:38:44.860
and I'm not talking about Ted Cruz's seat, a guy who has actually fought and come forward
