00:00:00.700 Finding the right life insurance can feel like finding the right podcast.

00:00:05.180 We get it.

00:00:06.060 So if you're looking for advice that isn't just the flavor of the week, we got you.

00:00:09.860 For over 80 years, Cooperators Financial Representatives have been helping Canadians protect what's important.

00:00:15.700 Taking the time to listen, understand, and build a long-term partnership, no matter the trend.

00:00:21.140 Start your life insurance conversation with a local Cooperators Financial Representative at cooperators.ca.

00:00:27.020 Life insurance is underwritten by Cooperators Life Insurance Company.

00:00:30.560 Today's podcast, it's a great, great show.

00:00:34.620 Lots of things that you can really take to the bank here and apply in your own life.

00:00:41.360 Today is the fourth day of Hanukkah, and we haven't talked about Hanukkah at all, but it's the miracle of lights.

00:00:47.280 But I think it's more than that, especially today, the fourth day of Hanukkah.

00:00:52.120 I'm not a rabbi.

00:00:53.480 I don't try to play one, and I don't know what the fourth night actually means, but I'll tell you what it means to me.

00:01:00.000 Um, and what it should mean to all of us, uh, coming up on today's show.

00:01:04.420 Also, Chip Roy is on the podcast.

00:01:06.920 Chip is talking about an end to all immigration, a pause in all immigration.

00:01:12.400 I can't believe some of the stuff that's in his bill.

00:01:15.480 Crazy things like, we shouldn't allow terrorists in.

00:01:18.340 If you are a proponent of Sharia law, you shouldn't be allowed in. 0.99

00:01:21.880 I mean, crazy stuff that you can't believe we actually have to say out loud. 1.00

00:01:25.260 And why in the world would Susie Wiles be dumb enough? 1.00

00:01:30.520 Because she's not dumb. 1.00

00:01:31.800 She's really smart.

00:01:33.620 Why would she say what she said in the Vanity Fair article? 0.73

00:01:36.880 All that and so much more on the podcast.

00:01:39.460 Here it is.

00:01:40.940 Let me tell you about Berna Launcher.

00:01:42.220 People who don't want to live in fear.

00:01:43.440 They just, you know, they want to know they have some options.

00:01:46.020 Uh, and if something goes wrong, you're not helpless.

00:01:48.440 You know, you're not waiting on luck.

00:01:50.260 You're not depending on somebody else to arrive on time.

00:01:52.320 Uh, that's why I like the Berna Launcher.

00:01:54.720 The Berna is a non-lethal self-defense tool that is legal in all 50 states.

00:01:59.640 You don't have to have a permit.

00:02:00.800 You just have to be over 18. 0.76

00:02:02.480 Um, it fires chemical irritant projectiles that can stop an attacker dead in his tracks

00:02:09.820 from a safe distance, giving you real protection without escalating to deadly force.

00:02:13.940 And now you can choose between the standard Berna and the new compact launcher,

00:02:17.880 which is lighter and smaller.

00:02:19.400 You can carry it every day.

00:02:20.520 I can carry it in my back.

00:02:21.920 You can carry it in a backpack.

00:02:23.420 You can carry it in your purse, whatever.

00:02:25.680 It's not aggression.

00:02:27.340 It's not paranoia.

00:02:28.400 It's just being safe.

00:03:19.380 Together, we'll make a difference.

00:03:21.500 And thanks for standing with us.

00:03:22.760 Now let's get to work.

00:03:31.780 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:35.620 Today is the best day to talk about Hanukkah, I believe.

00:03:51.040 It is the fourth night of Hanukkah.

00:03:53.620 At least this is the one where I think it means the most to all of us.

00:03:58.440 I don't care if you're Jewish or Christian or, you know, atheist. 0.81

00:04:01.260 Because today, the fourth day of Hanukkah sends a really important message.

00:04:06.280 Because the fourth day is not the beginning when the miracle is still an idea.

00:04:11.620 It's not the end when the light is undeniable.

00:04:16.100 It's the middle.

00:04:18.000 When the darkness hasn't surrendered, the light is still being tested.

00:04:22.640 This is the hardest night.

00:04:24.340 This is the hardest place to stand.

00:04:29.360 History isn't decided at the beginning of a fight.

00:04:32.400 And it's rarely remembered at the end.

00:04:35.360 When history is truly decided, it's right here, in the middle.

00:04:39.980 When the cost is real and the outcome is unclear.

00:04:44.120 Do you know how this is going to end?

00:04:45.560 Because I don't.

00:04:46.160 I have hope, but I don't have as much hope as I did at the beginning.

00:04:51.100 And I'm certainly not going to have as much hope and joy as I will in the end, when the light is still there.

00:04:57.220 Right now, it's unclear.

00:05:00.260 And endurance matters more than enthusiasm.

00:05:03.560 Just endure.

00:05:06.960 Hanukkah is not a children's story.

00:05:08.680 Hanukkah is not a, just a Jewish story.

00:05:12.120 It's not about presence.

00:05:13.200 It's not about sentiment.

00:05:14.000 It's about a small group of exhausted people who refuse to surrender their faith,

00:05:21.740 who refuse to surrender their identity or their God to an empire that demanded conformity.

00:05:28.140 Not, not conversion, conformity.

00:05:31.000 Bow a little.

00:05:31.840 Blend in.

00:05:32.480 Be reasonable.

00:05:33.600 Be quiet.

00:05:34.580 Sit down.

00:05:36.220 Their temple had been defiled.

00:05:38.080 Their language was erased.

00:05:40.120 Their calendar was outlawed.

00:05:41.940 Faith itself was declared incompatible with progress.

00:05:47.900 And their oil was insufficient.

00:05:49.980 It wouldn't last.

00:05:51.300 By every practical measure, the story should have ended there.

00:05:55.920 They had no army.

00:05:56.920 They had no allies.

00:05:57.880 They had no numbers.

00:05:59.180 No time.

00:06:00.040 And yet, they lit the lamp anyway.

00:06:07.960 That, to me, is the center of Hanukkah.

00:06:11.320 Not the miracle that followed, but the decision that preceded it.

00:06:17.500 They didn't light the lamp because they knew it would last for eight days.

00:06:21.540 They had no idea.

00:06:22.140 They lit it because they knew who they were.

00:06:27.340 Can the same be said for us?

00:06:29.360 Do we know who we are?

00:06:34.620 To my Jewish friends, I know you've got to be feeling something painfully familiar.

00:06:40.880 Alone and exposed.

00:06:42.600 Watching old lies return with new confidence.

00:06:47.400 Hearing chants that were supposed to have been buried in the last century.

00:06:50.880 We all thought that had happened.

00:06:52.200 Seeing the masks come off now and realizing how thin they really were.

00:06:56.320 How fragile civilizations really are.

00:06:59.800 Meanwhile, you're being told you're exaggerating.

00:07:02.140 Or it's complicated.

00:07:04.260 Or the outrage.

00:07:05.600 Your outrage has to be carefully rationed here.

00:07:07.820 They're asked to explain their own fear to people who have never had to carry that fear.

00:07:14.400 And they look around and they notice something chilling.

00:07:17.960 The loudest voices often on their side.

00:07:22.040 A quarter cheer.

00:07:23.760 A quarter excuse.

00:07:26.360 And too many that just look away.

00:07:29.480 Realizing that never again.

00:07:34.000 Apparently kind of conditional.

00:07:35.280 You know, unless we have some new information about, you know, wait a minute.

00:07:39.600 Hitler might have been a good guy. 1.00

00:07:47.000 Christmas brings us the hope.

00:07:50.240 Not a Christmas.

00:07:52.120 They had to wait 30 plus years to Easter.

00:07:56.720 The resurrection.

00:07:59.180 Christmas is the beginning.

00:08:00.640 It's what he did in the middle for 33 years.

00:08:08.900 That got him to the end of the resurrection that changed our lives.

00:08:16.920 Hanukkah doesn't promise safety.

00:08:20.460 It promises meaning.

00:08:22.360 It doesn't say the powerful are suddenly become, are going to become just all of a sudden overnight.

00:08:29.020 It doesn't say anywhere.

00:08:30.460 The crowd's going to wake up.

00:08:32.480 It doesn't say, you know, you're faithful.

00:08:34.860 You're going to be spared.

00:08:35.820 You're going to be spared pain and death and everything else.

00:08:38.740 It says this.

00:08:40.360 You light the candle even when you think it feels pointless to do it.

00:08:45.580 You guard the flame even when the world looks away.

00:08:50.360 You refuse to let desecration have the last word.

00:08:54.540 You don't measure truth by numbers or applause or power, but by faithfulness.

00:08:59.780 You light the lamp because it's who you are.

00:09:04.400 Empires always believe they're permanent.

00:09:11.500 A never-ending Roman Empire.

00:09:14.760 A thousand-year Reich. 0.89

00:09:18.160 But that arrogance always underestimates one thing.

00:09:23.620 And this is why they do everything they can to make sure you don't become this.

00:09:28.740 They always underestimate a people who remember who they are.

00:09:46.040 That's why traditions are so important.

00:09:52.420 Here's a promise.

00:09:54.340 For them and for us.

00:09:58.740 Darkness is never defeated all at once.

00:10:04.740 It's pushed back.

00:10:07.060 It's pushed back into the corners and the cracks from which it crawled.

00:10:14.920 It's pushed back one deliberate act of light at a time.

00:10:20.100 One candle.

00:10:22.060 Then another.

00:10:23.740 Then another.

00:10:24.420 Not some garish, performative light that we see all the time now.

00:10:30.800 Not fashionable light, but costly, stubborn, defiant light.

00:10:37.320 The fourth night of Hanukkah. 0.53

00:10:43.940 This is why it's one of my favorites.

00:10:49.380 It's the middle.

00:10:52.540 You're not really hoping anymore.

00:10:54.780 It's not the beginning.

00:10:55.660 I'm going to light and I'm going to hope because I know it's going to end out that way.

00:10:58.900 People who started it, they didn't know it was going to end out that way.

00:11:01.100 By the fourth night, you're committed.

00:11:07.080 You're committed.

00:11:08.860 But on this far, there's no going back.

00:11:13.260 You've stopped asking if it will be easy.

00:11:17.100 You've just decided it's going to be done.

00:11:20.320 And that is how a civilization survives.

00:11:25.340 It's committed.

00:11:26.920 It's going to be done.

00:11:29.120 I don't know what comes my way.

00:11:30.900 I don't know how hard it's going to be.

00:11:32.900 I don't know the true cost of this.

00:11:35.140 I don't know the ending.

00:11:37.500 But I will stand.

00:11:39.920 Because I know who I am.

00:11:42.580 And it will be done.

00:11:45.220 And I'm not going to pretend the darkness isn't there.

00:11:49.860 Because it is.

00:11:52.600 But I'm going to light the flame anyway.

00:11:56.680 I will stand there and protect it.

00:12:00.760 And dare it to go out.

00:12:09.580 Happy Hanukkah.

00:12:12.360 Let me tell you about Chase Medical.

00:12:13.780 You don't prepare because you're afraid of life.

00:12:16.720 You prepare because that way you can live it without constant fear.

00:12:20.860 And there are moments in life where good enough isn't good enough.

00:12:24.240 You need real equipment that works when everything else goes sideways.

00:12:27.180 And that's why I love what Chase Medical is doing.

00:12:30.840 They have the new Stop the Bleed Kit.

00:12:33.860 The Chase Aid Trauma Pack.

00:12:36.320 It is for serious moments.

00:12:39.000 Serious gear.

00:12:40.340 Tourniquets.

00:12:41.100 Chest seals.

00:12:42.120 Trauma shears.

00:12:42.860 There's a whole lot more.

00:12:44.200 I mean it is like a really.

00:12:45.440 Like a little mini hospital in a bag.

00:12:47.020 It really is.

00:12:47.680 And it is meant to be.

00:12:49.240 You know right alongside any of their other Jace Aid packs.

00:12:52.740 With almost no overlap.

00:12:54.840 The medic kit.

00:12:55.640 The mini kit.

00:12:56.600 Each one has a purpose.

00:12:57.980 And together they give you the level of preparedness that most families have never had before.

00:13:02.080 And as you use something out of the kit.

00:13:04.000 They replace it.

00:13:05.040 I mean it is really really amazing.

00:13:07.040 I want you to go to Jace.com.

00:13:23.060 Now back to the podcast.

00:13:25.220 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:13:29.080 Let me go to Chip Roy.

00:13:30.880 Hello Chip.

00:13:31.860 How are you sir?

00:13:32.840 Glenn.

00:13:33.360 How are you?

00:13:33.840 Merry Christmas.

00:13:34.400 Merry Christmas.

00:13:36.260 This is our congressman from the great state of Texas.

00:13:38.140 He is also a candidate for Texas Attorney General.

00:13:43.220 Talk to me about your bill on immigration.

00:13:47.960 Does it have a chance of even passing?

00:13:49.600 Tell me what it is and then I want to know if it has a chance of passing.

00:13:53.100 Sure.

00:13:53.620 I mean you know you opened this segment by talking about our need to focus on not just illegal immigration but legal immigration.

00:14:01.120 And I strongly believe that that is true.

00:14:04.100 I think for way too long we have been getting loose fast and loose overly corporate overly driven by you know your kind of chamber of commerce crowd.

00:14:15.000 And all of a sudden we've now got a situation where we have millions of people in our country that are not seeking to assimilate, not seeking to be the quote melting pot, but rather trying to kind of reestablish their cultures from other countries here rather than becoming fully American.

00:14:33.160 And that's been a long string of decisions.

00:14:37.760 And to go back and put it in perspective, we have 51 and a half million foreign born people here in the United States, the vast majority of whom did not come here illegally, right, but legally.

00:14:47.580 But they've been kind of abusing the process and the system because we've got this broad use of H-1B visas, we've got these things called diversity visas, we have chain migration where you've got everybody's cousin, uncle, aunt, whatever, and they're just growing the population here. 0.86

00:15:03.940 And this is now unlike it was a century ago, right, when we had the mass migration in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and at that point we didn't have a welfare state, we had schools that were teaching that America was great and believed in the Constitution, and we had, you know, God in the schools, and we had our culture being elevated, not being criticized.

00:15:24.500 And at that point, we still froze immigration in the 1920s, right?

00:15:29.420 We still flatlined it because everybody said, whoa, whoa, whoa, we've had so many people come in.

00:15:33.720 And I think our country was stronger for it.

00:15:35.820 Today it's worse because we've got so many people coming here who are not assimilating. 1.00

00:15:39.800 We have schools that are not teaching people that America's great.

00:15:42.700 And we certainly are continuing to have a welfare state now that is causing a big problem.

00:15:49.040 So I think we should pause it.

00:15:50.280 It's called the PAWS Act.

00:15:51.220 We should pause legal immigration until we fix a lot of things, fix diversity visas, fix chain migration, fix H-1B. 1.00

00:15:58.880 Can you tell me what a diversity visa, what is a diversity visa?

00:16:02.520 I don't even know if I know what that is.

00:16:04.880 Right.

00:16:05.180 So diversity visas, chain migration, these are all things that are being used currently to have expansive use of the ability of people to come into the country and say that they're, you know, a family member, right?

00:16:20.400 An extended individual through what we call chain migration.

00:16:24.220 So you'll have a person come in and instead of it being a close knit family member, right?

00:16:30.060 Instead of it being, okay, this is my spouse or this is my child.

00:16:34.220 It's cousins and aunts and uncles and so forth.

00:16:37.880 And, you know, this is the kind of thing that we've got to reform and including H-1B visas and including all of the problems we have here with birthright citizenship.

00:16:47.040 Obviously, the Supreme Court is going to hear the Trump administration's, you know, executive order on that.

00:16:52.040 But we should codify a new view of how we deal with birthright citizenship.

00:16:57.080 You should only be a citizen if you're born of citizen parent, not because you came and were on our dirt.

00:17:03.260 So these are things that if you don't fix or like Plyler Vido in Texas, right?

00:17:07.620 We had a Supreme Court opinion in the 1980s that said we have to educate the children of illegal aliens, illegal alien children.

00:17:14.500 We should challenge that, overturn it, and we should fix it.

00:17:17.600 Until you fix all those things, fix the magnets, fix legal immigration, then we're going to lose our country. 1.00

00:17:23.600 We're going to lose our culture.

00:17:24.420 And I think we need to do that.

00:17:25.700 So that's why I introduced the bill to pause it.

00:17:28.740 I just talked to a police officer the day before yesterday.

00:17:33.860 I was walking down the street, going into the store for Christmas, and he said, hey, Glenn Beck.

00:17:39.880 And he had this slight accent.

00:17:42.820 I couldn't tell exactly what it was.

00:17:45.460 And then he said, eventually he said, I'm Irish.

00:17:48.100 I came from Ireland.

00:17:49.220 He said, I've been here for 20 years, but my wife and I were in Ireland.

00:17:51.780 And I said, my gosh, does Ireland even exist anymore?

00:17:55.760 And he said, Glenn, it used to be, he said, I go back every year.

00:17:59.220 He said, it used to be you could go anywhere and you'd have the Irish pub and, you know, you'd see Irishmen everywhere.

00:18:04.940 And yes, there were people from other parts of the world, et cetera, et cetera.

00:18:07.680 But it was Irish. 0.53

00:18:08.500 He said, I can go now into my hometowns, small ones.

00:18:12.480 And he said, I don't see another Irishman.

00:18:15.120 He said, the Irish culture is completely annihilated. 0.65

00:18:19.340 He said, it's all mosques and Pakistanis and whatever.

00:18:22.840 And he said, you know, is there ever anyone going to say, hey, wait a minute, the Irish culture, the American culture, the English culture, the whatever culture, that's important too.

00:18:35.400 When is anybody going to step up and say, you know what, we don't want to lose this by embracing that.

00:18:44.240 We can have both, but not like this.

00:18:47.480 Well, Glenn, and you know, and by the way, the thing I left out on the diversity piece, I got up and I started talking about chain migration.

00:18:56.400 But just so you know, right, that's a program very specifically designed to bring people in from countries that we don't have significant immigration from.

00:19:05.560 It's literally designed to, quote, diversify our immigration population.

00:19:09.720 So, so that's it.

00:19:11.460 Who cares?

00:19:12.860 Right.

00:19:13.340 And that's my point.

00:19:14.120 And this is what's so wrong about our immigration system. 0.51

00:19:17.980 And it's being done that way.

00:19:19.060 And the SIV program from Afghanistan, all of it's been being abused.

00:19:22.940 And we've had this mass migration.

00:19:25.600 And again, you are an ardent defender of the First Amendment.

00:19:28.560 So am I.

00:19:29.700 You can believe what you want to believe.

00:19:31.380 Right.

00:19:32.180 And we would never want to insert the federal government into your belief system, like between you and God.

00:19:37.880 But what we have to remember about Islam is that it is a politically motivated group of individuals.

00:19:46.000 Right.

00:19:46.200 This is when we look at the core and we look at what you look at what the Muslim Brotherhood is talking about. 0.94

00:19:52.020 When you look at Sharia law, when you look at the tenets of Islam, then there is a massive political component to it.

00:19:58.840 And we have to remember that.

00:20:00.180 We have to remember and actually read the words, read what's being said, and go look at what's happening in Dallas.

00:20:06.420 Epic City is not just an accident.

00:20:09.100 What's happening with the growth and the promotion of Sharia law in the United Kingdom, in France, now in America, it's not an accident. 0.98

00:20:18.640 Okay.

00:20:19.260 And this is well beyond, hey, you can believe what you want to believe.

00:20:23.060 You can be an atheist and agnostic.

00:20:24.460 You can be a Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim.

00:20:27.440 Right.

00:20:27.820 We stand for that principle.

00:20:29.500 But when you come here to annihilate and change our culture, then you've got to approach that.

00:20:35.760 We, we Americans have to approach that in a different way.

00:20:38.820 And I believe we should pause immigration. 1.00

00:20:41.880 We should be doing what the president is doing.

00:20:44.600 Remove a whole lot of the people dumped into our country under Biden, you know, illegal immigrants, asylum, that were abused, parole, that was abused by Biden and Mayorkas. 0.90

00:20:53.720 And go around and make sure that we're resetting the table and reset our laws.

00:21:00.000 And we should just pause for a while and reclaim our American culture to your point about what you just said about Ireland.

00:21:06.160 You, you laid out, I saw your press release and you lay out what this bill would do.

00:21:12.700 And I got to read this to the audience because I can't believe you actually have to say this.

00:21:16.800 It would end the practice of automatic citizenship.

00:21:19.820 Yeah.

00:21:20.580 And chain migration.

00:21:21.940 Yep.

00:21:22.200 That's not what the 14th amendment says.

00:21:23.920 That's not what it was about.

00:21:24.820 That's not what it was written for anyway.

00:21:26.440 And the H-1B visa program.

00:21:28.840 Got it.

00:21:29.640 Ensure immigrant assimilation. 1.00

00:21:31.560 Got it.

00:21:32.040 Now listen to these last three.

00:21:33.520 This is what he's proposing we do.

00:21:37.260 Okay.

00:21:37.480 We're not doing it.

00:21:38.540 He's proposing we do this.

00:21:41.180 Deny entry to Sharia law adherence.

00:21:44.920 Oh, I don't know.

00:21:46.540 Yes.

00:21:47.540 I can't believe we have to even say that out loud.

00:21:50.400 Deny entry to Chinese Communist Party members.

00:21:53.560 I don't know.

00:21:54.860 Yes.

00:21:55.360 And the third one, deny entry to terrorists.

00:22:01.020 This is a civilization that is on a suicidal path.

00:22:04.520 If that can't happen, that's not, it's crazy that that's not already happening.

00:22:10.740 Suicide. 0.99

00:22:11.900 Just committing suicide.

00:22:12.600 The other element to it that we must factor in is the welfare that is being doled out to non-citizens 0.99

00:22:23.600 in the form of not just food stamps, Medicaid, all of the social programs from the federal government,

00:22:30.260 but also our local schools and local hospitals that get inundated by people that are coming into the United States knowing that they'll get free health care, a free education,

00:22:39.000 and they might be able to then use birthright citizenship to get a hook and come here and grow here.

00:22:43.680 And none of this is about the melting pot.

00:22:46.840 I mean, Glenn, that's what I'm trying to make the case here to people.

00:22:50.300 When we had people who came here who largely shared our values, and when they came here, they wanted their kids to learn English.

00:22:57.420 They wanted their kids to love America.

00:22:59.660 They wanted their kids to understand our history and our founding.

00:23:02.560 They appreciated what this country stood for.

00:23:04.640 By the way, that mass migration occurred right after the Civil War.

00:23:08.820 So our country had literally been at war, and people said, I want to go there because this country stood for something bigger and better,

00:23:16.720 and people knew it, but they wanted to be a part of it, and they wanted to embrace it.

00:23:20.940 They didn't want to change it, and that's not true now.

00:23:23.800 That's definitively not true.

00:23:25.360 When I have colleagues in the United States Congress, like Ilhan Omar, who are openly and outspokenly committed to changing America to be like her home country,

00:23:37.360 that's a problem.

00:23:39.280 That is what's happening.

00:23:40.520 And if we don't recognize, you can't win a war that you don't acknowledge exists, Glenn.

00:23:44.820 And there is a war being waged against our way of life and against our culture.

00:23:49.680 So, look, I'm introducing legislation here, but it's also why I'm running for attorney general, right?

00:23:54.080 And I'm not going to go do a campaign speech here, but we've got to have states that are standing up and leading this fight as well if we're going to save America.

00:24:05.900 You brought up, you know, there's a war being waged.

00:24:12.060 Every alarm bell in me is going off.

00:24:14.760 Every alarm bell in me.

00:24:16.520 We are in a war.

00:24:18.140 We won't even recognize it.

00:24:19.380 I think the president has, but, um, I think it's going to take a lot more than what we're doing right now.

00:24:25.760 Um, look at what's happening in Europe.

00:24:28.640 France just canceled their, their ball drop, you know, for, you know, New Year's Eve.

00:24:33.300 They have it at the Arc of Triumph every year.

00:24:35.600 They canceled it and said, just stay at home and watch a rerun of it from another year.

00:24:41.400 That's insanity.

00:24:42.340 Um, they've just surrendered, uh, how serious are we at, at preparing for a civilizational war?

00:24:57.500 Well, I think on the positive side, we have an increasing number of people in leadership who are understanding the threat in a way that they didn't a year ago or five years ago.

00:25:09.940 That being said, we also have a, uh, long way to go and a very short time to get there, right?

00:25:18.780 We have got to move quickly.

00:25:20.620 If you see what's happening in Europe, right?

00:25:23.280 And we go, wow, they're 20 years ahead of us.

00:25:25.600 I don't think that's true.

00:25:27.400 I think Europe is a mere, you know, months, years, few years ahead of us in terms of how bad it's gotten.

00:25:34.500 And I think we're now realizing how much damage we've done over the last decade in particular, certainly the last two decades, in terms of the mass influx of people that do not ultimately share our values.

00:25:47.480 So I do think it's important that we support the president on what he's doing and removing bad actors and making sure that we're removing people that need to be removed or here legally.

00:25:57.320 But if we don't reform our legal immigration system immediately and pause it and freeze it and reset who we are as Americans and get people to understand that when you're here, you're going to embrace him being an American, then we're not going to save the country, right?

00:26:12.920 So that's, that's why I wanted to introduce this bill.

00:26:15.560 It's why I'm going to introduce more.

00:26:16.740 It's why I introduced separate legislation to vet people for Sharia law.

00:26:19.300 It's why I introduced this bill to take away the tax status for care. 0.84

00:26:22.220 Like we've got to get people to realize that we need immediate change and we can't wait right now.

00:26:29.220 Congress, with all respect, is not codifying or advancing the ball on this front yet.

00:26:34.800 The president is doing it unilaterally.

00:26:37.000 And I think that's a problem.

00:26:39.680 Can the house actually get it done?

00:26:41.480 Are we going to pass it?

00:26:42.680 Is there a chance of ever getting to the president's desk?

00:26:45.340 Right now, we are socializing it and there's a growing number of people who support the concept.

00:26:52.340 You see it not on social media, but we've got to get it socialized between the White House and the leadership in the House to get it to the point of trying to force a vote.

00:27:00.160 There's going to be a lot of resistance, okay?

00:27:02.300 There's a lot of people that are going to be listening to business interests.

00:27:05.920 A lot of people who are going to say, well, I've got a group of a certain culture in my particular district and so forth.

00:27:12.360 And we've got to rise above that and recognize if we don't do this, then we have no chance to save the country.

00:27:20.820 Because if another 55,000 people come in on diversity visas this year and another 55,000 come in next year and then another 55,000 the following year, all from these supposed low immigration countries for purposes of diversity, in addition to the chain migration, in addition to H-1B visas, do the math.

00:27:40.340 See what's happening and then how many kids they're having.

00:27:44.300 And so we've got to freeze that and reset what we want to do for our country.

00:27:49.120 All right.

00:27:51.000 It's called the PAWS Act.

00:27:53.700 Get online, support Chip Roy in the PAWS Act.

00:27:57.120 Ask your congressmen, your senators to join with Chip on the PAWS Act.

00:28:03.400 Again, you can follow him on x at Chip Roy TX.

00:28:08.320 He is also running for candidate for attorney general.

00:28:11.920 What is your website, Chip?

00:28:14.060 Chiproy.com.

00:28:15.280 It's pretty simple, pretty straightforward.

00:28:16.520 I appreciate it.

00:28:17.860 And look, you know, this Christmas season, just for everybody out there, Merry Christmas.

00:28:22.940 We live in the greatest country in the history of the world.

00:28:25.320 We've got to keep our heads up and put our faith in Jesus and remember that it's upon us to pass this down to our kids and grandkids.

00:28:34.020 Thank you so much, Chip Roy.

00:28:35.620 You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck.

00:28:38.000 Need a little more?

00:28:38.980 Check out the full show podcast anywhere you download podcasts.

00:28:41.980 Welcome to the program.

00:28:49.320 Yesterday, Donald Trump put out on True Social, I'll be giving an address to the nation Wednesday, live from the White House, 9 p.m. Eastern.

00:28:58.560 I look forward to seeing you then.

00:29:00.180 It's been a great year for the country and the best is yet to come.

00:29:03.120 Now, there's speculation on what he's going to talk about.

00:29:05.300 I think he's going to do just that.

00:29:06.520 He's going to say, this is what we've accomplished in the first year and this is what is coming.

00:29:12.240 And if he is just doing the accomplishments, they're remarkable.

00:29:17.140 They really are remarkable.

00:29:19.040 No president has ever done what this president has done this fast.

00:29:23.380 I mean, he makes Barack Obama look like he was standing still.

00:29:27.360 And that's saying something.

00:29:28.860 It's just been overwhelming.

00:29:30.180 And it'll be nice to have that record, but I don't think that's what, you know, I think people want.

00:29:37.840 People want more.

00:29:39.580 Sorry, Mr. President.

00:29:40.960 They want more.

00:29:42.280 They want more and they want it faster.

00:29:44.880 And they want it to affect their lives.

00:29:48.940 So I'm hoping that he is going to make some comment on the economy that is not like, hey, you know, really, it's better.

00:29:56.900 You just don't know it yet.

00:29:57.960 We had that with Biden.

00:29:59.760 It didn't work there.

00:30:00.820 It's not going to work with you.

00:30:02.380 I know there are some things that are advancing, but people are still struggling and it's, you know, it's not going to work.

00:30:08.520 So I hope that, uh, is not part of it.

00:30:13.200 You know, I was reading about Nick Reiner, uh, Rob Reiner's son.

00:30:17.740 Did you know that he, he was at with his dad, Conan O'Brien, O'Brien's party?

00:30:24.660 Uh, Conan O'Brien had a big holiday party and Rob brought his son and it was kind of like, well, okay.

00:30:34.800 And he just said, look, I'm just worried about my son.

00:30:36.900 I just want to keep him close.

00:30:38.000 Um, you know, his son has had deep problems.

00:30:41.600 Gosh, when you see the look in his son's eye in these interviews that they did together when they were working together, he does not look stable.

00:30:49.380 He does not look like a guy that you're like, you're like, oh yeah, no, I feel comfortable around him.

00:30:54.720 Is it just me?

00:30:55.760 Cause I, I see that.

00:30:57.020 I'm like, and you feel bad for, you know, mom and dad Reiner who they love their son.

00:31:04.960 They just don't know what to do.

00:31:06.440 How many of us are in this, not in that situation.

00:31:08.640 Thank God.

00:31:09.280 But how many of us has been in this situation where you're really worried about your kid, but you just don't know what to do.

00:31:15.000 And you're just hoping for the best you do your best, hoping they do their best.

00:31:20.160 And it's all going to work out.

00:31:22.340 And, uh, sometimes, unfortunately, like this one, it didn't.

00:31:25.560 And they, he went to the holiday party and then apparently they have him on tape, uh, you know, in the neighborhood, just kind of pacing back and forth and then going into the house and stabbing mom and dad, then going back to a motel and they caught him in the motel.

00:31:40.980 And apparently it's just drenched in blood.

00:31:43.540 So it's clear he did it.

00:31:45.220 It's clear he did it.

00:31:47.400 It does seem that way.

00:31:49.100 I, I, I will say, you know, when you, maybe it's because when you become a parent, you start to recognize that I'm like, my kids are really good so far.

00:31:57.680 That's awesome.

00:31:58.260 Who knows what they, I always tell us to my wife, like, yeah, they're great right now.

00:32:01.180 Like, who knows what they turn into?

00:32:02.440 You don't know.

00:32:03.060 You don't have control over that.

00:32:04.420 You don't.

00:32:04.980 You really don't.

00:32:05.680 No idea.

00:32:06.220 And, you know, I, I, I tend to have a lot more sympathy as, as the years go on for parents in these situations.

00:32:14.620 I think early on in my life, it was a lot of like, oh gosh, well, where are the parents?

00:32:18.480 You know, how come they're not doing this?

00:32:19.860 And you realize you can do a lot of things and you can try to build a great foundation for your kids and you can do, you can control as much as you can control and put as much good things into them as possible, but you can't control the outcome of it.

00:32:32.860 You just can't.

00:32:33.520 And if you're in that situation, you have sympathy for yourself because you can't control it.

00:32:37.400 They're individuals, they're human beings. 0.98

00:32:39.080 And if they decide to be idiots or horrible people or great people, like there's only so much of that, that you can control. 0.99

00:32:45.920 You know, and at first you haven't really hit this yet, but when you get into the teenage years with the kids, oh my gosh, and girls are worse than boys, but, uh, it is, it is so difficult. 0.99

00:32:58.760 It is so difficult because they're saying things that just tear you apart, just tear you apart.

00:33:05.580 Um, and you know, and they're going through things that you just, oh, don't, it's just not this hard.

00:33:11.520 It's not this hard, but at their time, at their age, it is that hard.

00:33:14.880 Um, and you know, I was talking to a friend and, and he said, isn't God great.

00:33:22.520 And my response was shut up.

00:33:24.440 Did you hear anything I said about what I'm going through right now? 0.93

00:33:28.760 And I said, what do you, what, what?

00:33:30.600 And he said, your kids will never leave you.

00:33:34.260 They would never leave you unless God put that instinct in them at the appropriate age.

00:33:42.040 It's like a switch that goes on.

00:33:44.120 And it's like everything mom and dad said is wrong.

00:33:47.220 I don't, I don't need to be around them.

00:33:49.200 I don't want to be around them.

00:33:51.060 Uh, you know, they're just, they're smothering me with everything.

00:33:54.320 I, I want to go a different direction.

00:33:56.200 He said, it's a switch that goes on and then it turns off again and they come back and they're, they, they love you.

00:34:02.700 He said, it's just this most amazing God trait that pushes the youth out of the house.

00:34:10.000 And I thought, God is good.

00:34:12.880 Otherwise they'd be living with me forever.

00:34:15.460 Oh, that's what, that's an interesting way of looking at it.

00:34:22.940 I, I, I think it's true.

00:34:25.180 It's the right way to look at it.

00:34:26.180 We've noticed this lately.

00:34:27.200 We were discussing this pretty recently that we've noticed that God doesn't seem to run any of his plans by us in advance.

00:34:34.460 Oh, that pisses me off.

00:34:35.460 He doesn't text us.

00:34:36.720 I don't need him.

00:34:37.340 Look, look, I don't need you, God.

00:34:39.480 I don't need you to run them by for approval.

00:34:41.800 I just like you to run them by.

00:34:43.300 So I know exactly what you're doing.

00:34:45.460 You know, can you just give me the heads up? 0.95

00:34:47.600 Look, I'm going to make the, I'm going to set this place on fire over here. 0.97

00:34:51.060 I'm going to let these people just, just start fires all over this part. 0.93

00:34:55.840 And, uh, but don't worry.

00:34:57.000 I got it.

00:34:57.700 I got it.

00:34:58.040 I'm going to do this in the end.

00:34:59.180 Just run that by me.

00:35:00.260 Yeah.

00:35:00.480 Run that by me and make life so much easier.

00:35:02.940 Yeah.

00:35:03.280 Let's so much, you know, give us a little bit of the screenplay before the movie comes out.

00:35:07.000 You know what I mean?

00:35:07.560 Like we should be aware.

00:35:08.780 A little, a little trailer that has a little bit of like, oh, it looks like it might have

00:35:15.160 a decent ending.

00:35:16.100 Yeah.

00:35:16.640 That's all we're looking for.

00:35:17.380 They don't all die in space.

00:35:18.680 That's all I'm looking for.

00:35:20.040 That's, that's it.

00:35:21.000 Speaking of space, have you seen the new trailer for, uh, uh, Oh, disclosure.

00:35:27.380 No.

00:35:28.340 Steven Spielberg, all kinds of conspiracy.

00:35:30.880 What isn't a conspiracy right now?

00:35:33.680 I can say chicken prices and people go, you know, that's a conspiracy.

00:35:37.720 You know what chicken prices are?

00:35:39.560 No, I, I didn't shock absorbers.

00:35:42.820 You know, I shock, you know, shock absorbers were designed first for use by the CIA.

00:35:47.620 No, I didn't know.

00:35:49.460 Stop.

00:35:49.860 Everything is a conspiracy, but this is an interesting one.

00:35:53.880 Uh, uh, Steven Spielberg was retired, not going to make any movie.

00:35:59.060 He comes out of retirement to make this movie about aliens and aliens.

00:36:07.520 It's first contact.

00:36:10.120 And why would he do that?

00:36:11.760 Why, why would he come out of retirement to do that movie about aliens?

00:36:15.220 They are preparing us.

00:36:16.300 They are, they know, they know it's coming and they needed Steven Spielberg to prepare

00:36:20.820 our minds so we will accept aliens.

00:36:25.860 And normally I would say, get a nap in today, please.

00:36:32.700 But with as weird as everything has been, I'm not ruling anything out.

00:36:37.340 The only thing I'm ruling out is that God's going to run his plans by me or you.

00:36:41.800 That one I can rule out aliens showing up.

00:36:45.100 No, I can't rule that out.

00:36:46.200 Can you, I mean, so with the theory is that Steven Spielberg is prepping us essentially.

00:36:56.300 Yeah.

00:36:56.460 No, forget that part of the theory.

00:36:58.000 The, the, the, the part that I say is, I mean, um, I asked Steve days, come to the show

00:37:04.160 with some predictions.

00:37:04.840 This last week's TV show, you know what one of his predictions was in the next year, you

00:37:10.320 will see a leader of a major country say that they have had an encounter with aliens and

00:37:18.880 it will be the beginning of this slow reveal that aliens are either coming or whatever.

00:37:23.480 And I'm like, wait, what, what, what?

00:37:27.460 I mean, that is so far on the edge.

00:37:30.220 And yet everything is a, this is a problem.

00:37:34.780 Everything is a PSYOP right now.

00:37:36.460 Absolutely everything you see, everything you see online feels like a PSYOP, everything.

00:37:42.600 Let me give you this Susie Wiles. 1.00

00:37:44.560 She's not this stupid. 1.00

00:37:46.460 She's not this stupid. 1.00

00:37:48.340 She wait, what? 1.00

00:37:50.720 So Susie Wiles goes out and gives it to vanity fair. 0.85

00:37:54.920 And she's like, you know what?

00:37:56.420 Another thing. 1.00

00:37:58.140 Trump's like an alcoholic. 0.99

00:38:00.880 What? 0.98

00:38:01.360 And then, and then Donald Trump, who would normally go, what?

00:38:08.820 Goes, ah, you know, I kind of am like an alcoholic.

00:38:12.060 What?

00:38:13.440 That was fair.

00:38:14.480 It was quite an interesting series of developments over the past 24 hours in that world.

00:38:19.120 And now the alcoholic thing, I think in context was not, not all that bad.

00:38:25.920 I think you could see what she was going for.

00:38:27.880 He's kind of said that before about himself, like, so that one, but like she did kind of

00:38:33.840 trash a bunch of different people in the administration in a, in a 11 day, 11 separate interviews with

00:38:42.220 vanity fair, 11 over a year, they gave massive access to the cabinet.

00:38:46.580 Was, was this a book that was supposed to be held until 28?

00:38:51.840 It's interesting you say that that was the only thing I could come up with because if you don't, if you didn't follow the story, we should reset this because it kind of happened over the past 24 hours.

00:39:01.140 Vanity fair has this, has a reporter who famously does pieces in depth pieces on chief of chiefs of staff in the white house has done this for several other presidents in the past.

00:39:14.660 And so, you know, this big respected thing and it's possible, you know, maybe she was like just looking to, you know, to get some amazing, you know, historical profile of herself as one of the sane people in the white house.

00:39:27.460 That's what the left seems to be speculating on who knows.

00:39:31.760 But the, I couldn't see just because of the way Trump is with, he doesn't like leaks.

00:39:36.900 He doesn't like people trashing his own people. 0.96

00:39:39.580 He, this is not, he usually would get very angry at someone making such a stupid mistake in effort to give this material to a hard left outlet. 0.97

00:39:51.180 It doesn't make any sense.

00:39:52.360 So the one thing, one theory I thought might have had some validity was that this was proposed to her or presented to her as if it was a book that would come out after the term was over.

00:40:02.880 Now, all these people, and this doesn't make any sense to me because I don't care about your book that comes out after.

00:40:10.240 I'm still not talking to you.

00:40:11.220 Nope, neither do I.

00:40:11.560 But everybody inside of the DC Beltway does this.

00:40:14.100 They all go to these authors and they all spill the beans for these books that come out in the aftermath.

00:40:19.120 I don't know why.

00:40:19.840 It's like a tradition in Washington.

00:40:21.820 So maybe with the idea that this would come out after everything was over and then instead it wound up being converted into some big Vanity Fair profile.

00:40:30.620 I don't know.

00:40:31.280 It doesn't really make much sense, but that's the only theory that I can even think of that makes any sense.

00:40:35.860 Because none of it, otherwise, none of it makes sense.

00:40:38.540 Maybe Steven Spielberg and aliens are involved.

00:40:40.580 I don't know.

00:40:41.000 That could be it.

00:40:41.420 That's the more likely scenario.

00:40:42.920 I don't know, but I wouldn't rule it out.
