00:00:00.000 Hello there, ladies and gentlemen. I'm John Doyle. If you're listening to this right now,
00:00:05.320 chances are you are someone who is not yet insane in 2025. Congratulations. You are one of 10 people
00:00:10.340 who understands how the world works. Most media today is designed to do exactly that, make you
00:00:14.220 literally insane, dumber, weaker, more confused. They bait you to click, one might say. The John 0.98
00:00:18.920 Doyle Show, hosted by me, John Doyle, does the opposite. This is a place for people who want the
00:00:22.720 truth about America for Americans, maybe with a little style, a little playful intolerance of
00:00:27.800 anyone who disagrees with me on literally anything. But frankly, a lot more courage than you'll get
00:00:31.560 elsewhere these days. You're not going to fall asleep. You're not going to be lectured. You're
00:00:34.860 going to be entertained and informed. Also, I'm going to lecture you and probably yell. But if
00:00:38.520 you want a show that respects your intelligence, that makes you think, that makes you laugh,
00:00:41.800 and that actually equips you to understand the world rather than just react to it, this is where
00:00:45.600 you need to be. So after you're done listening to this podcast, don't just sit there pretending you
00:00:49.460 have something better to do. I implore you to understand you don't. Nothing is more important
00:00:54.340 than listening to my podcast on the internet. So go check out the John Doyle Show and we'll see you
00:00:58.780 out there. Yesterday, our DOJ and FBI busted and is prosecuting a few people out of California,
00:01:08.800 the Turtle Island Liberation Front. What is that? Well, if you listen to this show,
00:01:17.280 you heard about it, I think, back in April for the first time. We've talked about it a couple of times.
00:01:23.040 It's very, very, very dangerous. Ryan Morrow joins us because he's the guy who did all the research
00:01:29.440 on it. And thank goodness the country is now waking up to this. But we talk about what it is
00:01:34.680 and what it means, why you have to pay attention, because there's something much deeper and more
00:01:40.700 sinister even than the attacks they had planned all across America, you know, on New Year's Eve.
00:01:47.200 Also, The Christmas Truce. It is a true story from World War II about something that I know of that
00:01:55.420 never happened in war before, an amazing story with the documentation. Also, a movie that we watch
00:02:01.820 all the time at this time of the year. It actually was a giant failure and what the movie actually is
00:02:09.920 trying to say to us. It's a wonderful life. All of this and more on today's podcast.
00:02:16.480 First, let me tell you about choosing life. Around the holidays, we talk a lot about hope,
00:02:21.240 about new beginnings, about the value of every single life. I don't know. Christ child comes to
00:02:27.900 mind. Preborn puts those beliefs into action every single day by providing free ultrasounds to 0.80
00:02:35.640 expectant moms who are facing fear and pressure and uncertainty in life. When a mom sees that baby
00:02:41.220 on the screen, she hears the heartbeat, everything changes for her. It's a moment of clarity and
00:02:45.960 connection and a moment of courage, but she still feels alone. That's why Preborn doesn't stop there.
00:02:52.200 They also provide counseling and baby supplies and long-term support so the women don't feel like 0.98
00:02:57.960 they're walking this journey alone because usually they are completely alone. It's practical care that
00:03:02.540 meets people in their most vulnerable moments and offers them something they may not have felt in a
00:03:07.300 long time. Hope. That's what we should be offering. Every mom Preborn serves faces a moment of decision
00:03:14.120 when she sees her baby in an ultrasound. That sacred moment, she has the opportunity to say yes, and
00:03:18.620 usually she does. The odds go way up. This Christmas, for $28, you can support a woman like this and save a
00:03:27.500 life. Her life and the baby's life. A life that might just change the world. Donate by dialing
00:03:33.620 pound 250, say the keyword baby. That's pound 250, keyword baby, or donate securely at preborn.com

00:03:43.400 Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies, the
00:03:48.300 censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work tirelessly to
00:03:54.200 bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight going, we need you.
00:04:00.140 Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast? Give us five stars
00:04:04.880 and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more
00:04:11.000 Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. This is a movement and you're part of it,
00:04:16.640 a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up,
00:04:20.180 help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share. Together, we'll make a difference.
00:04:26.340 And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work.
00:04:36.620 You're listening to
00:04:37.740 The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:04:40.540 I'm going to tell you a Christmas story that you may or may not have heard, but it is one of the,
00:04:46.440 I think one of the most historically important moments in war to ever happen.
00:05:00.840 I was lucky enough to be able to add to our collection just a few months ago, this.
00:05:08.260 It is called The Christmas Truce.
00:05:11.220 The Christmas Truce is something that happened in World War I in 1914.
00:05:17.500 And this is a very, very rare letter from one of the people.
00:05:23.860 It's seven or eight pages long from one of the people that were, was there.
00:05:27.340 And this is an eyewitness account, not years after.
00:05:30.160 This was written the day after it happened and sent to, uh, the guy's mom.
00:05:37.320 And, uh, it tells the whole story kind of, kind of, there's another letter from, uh, I think
00:05:46.380 his name was Otto Hahn and he's German and he was actually there as well.
00:05:54.360 Not actually on the field, but he played a different role.
00:05:58.760 I'll tell you about that here in a second, but let me just read this, this letter.
00:06:03.800 Um, it says, dear mother, it was awfully good of you to send chocolate, which arrived safely
00:06:11.140 and went down very well indeed.
00:06:12.620 I've just come out of the trenches again after spending Christmas day in them.
00:06:19.700 If you imagine by any chance that we would have had a rotten Christmas, I can assure you,
00:06:24.240 you were very much mistaken.
00:06:25.840 Now, remember the trenches are some of the worst places you can be.
00:06:30.880 They're not, they're just killing people.
00:06:33.040 They're just slaughtering people and nobody is advancing.
00:06:36.200 And it just goes on and on and on.
00:06:38.220 And they're giant mud holes.
00:06:39.820 He said on Christmas Eve, it was chilly and we were shelling the German trenches, but then
00:06:46.400 it stopped.
00:06:47.880 There was a little rifle fire until about 5 PM when it became dark.
00:06:53.500 It was Christmas Eve.
00:06:56.260 We started singing carols and songs.
00:06:59.620 We heard the Germans do the same.
00:07:02.820 Then one of them pushed a Christmas tree on top of their trench.
00:07:09.820 After that, we decided we would light candles and lights and put them on top of the trenches
00:07:16.700 to cheer them up a bit and carry on some sort of, quote, I love this line,
00:07:22.920 matey conversations with the enemy.
00:07:26.700 Merry Christmas, one of us shouted.
00:07:29.360 As things seemed to be going very well, we thought, maybe we can get out of the trench and go up on top.
00:07:40.560 Now, imagine the risk of this guy.
00:07:43.120 He said four of us did this.
00:07:45.020 Imagine.
00:07:46.500 You're killing each other.
00:07:48.260 It's a killing field.
00:07:49.540 Dead bodies of your friends are right on top of this trench.
00:07:52.640 And you think, they just pushed up a Christmas tree.
00:07:55.800 We've been singing Christmas carols.
00:07:57.180 They've been singing Christmas carols.
00:07:58.540 We just put candles up.
00:08:00.200 Maybe four of us.
00:08:01.700 And these were Highlanders.
00:08:02.820 So you know that the Highlanders, you know, they have matey conversations all the time.
00:08:09.920 These are Scots that actually were the first to do it.
00:08:12.800 So four of us got on top, and first we struck matches, which was received well by them on the other side.
00:08:21.500 So then all of us got out, and we decided to hold a concert and dance out in the open.
00:08:30.260 After this, a few men thought it would be swell to shake hands and exchange cigars, cigarettes, and gingerbread with them.
00:08:40.240 We called out to them.
00:08:41.700 I met a few halfway between the trenches, and they were jolly good sports as well.
00:08:49.120 I shook hands with a German officer.
00:08:52.060 We spoke with them and exchanged small gifts.
00:08:56.360 Chocolate, cigars, buttons.
00:08:59.960 We shared stories from home and photographs.
00:09:04.120 It seemed impossible that we were actually really enemies.
00:09:07.880 We also had time, so we took it and buried our dead.
00:09:13.600 We buried them together, with short prayers spoken in both languages.
00:09:19.660 For a time, the war simply was not there.
00:09:23.880 It was strange, very strange.
00:09:25.840 Because tomorrow we will have to shoot at one another again. 0.99
00:09:30.320 It will be hard to shoot them now.
00:09:32.720 That's the letter that we have now at the American Journey Experience Vault that I just acquired.
00:09:44.100 And we'll go into our clay pot project to save our history and to save what our civilization really was like.
00:09:52.820 This is a moment here where Judeo-Christian values come to play a role.
00:09:57.700 It's the healing power of Christmas and the message of Christmas that in the middle of this war, they stop and they're able to come out of the trenches.
00:10:08.820 They've just been killing each other.
00:10:09.880 They come out of the trenches.
00:10:12.380 They stop.
00:10:16.860 Here's what one German soldier wrote in another letter.
00:10:20.640 What I still believe to be madness just several hours ago, I could now see with my own eyes.
00:10:28.840 One Englishman was joined so soon by another, they came towards us until he was more than halfway toward our trenches.
00:10:36.320 He's responding, he's talking about the guy of the letter I just read to you.
00:10:42.260 By which point some of our people had already approached them.
00:10:46.440 None of us had our rifles.
00:10:49.240 Between the trenches, the hated and the bitter opponents met around the Christmas tree and we sang Christmas carols.
00:10:57.080 I will never forget this sight for as long as I live.
00:11:01.340 Listen to this line.
00:11:02.420 One could see that the man, the human being, lives on, even if he knows nothing more in these days than killing.
00:11:14.340 Christmas 1914 will be unforgettable to me.
00:11:20.200 I wanted to share this with you today for a couple of reasons.
00:11:25.700 One, it's one of my favorite stories of Christmas.
00:11:29.180 There have been a couple of movies made about this moment.
00:11:33.620 This is the original letter that told the story that the movie makers used.
00:11:43.000 But I wanted to tell you this story because it feels really dark at times.
00:11:49.040 It's in that darkness that the light really matters.
00:11:56.020 That that candle really shone.
00:12:01.820 They lit matches.
00:12:04.060 I mean, they're not close to each other.
00:12:06.280 And there's barbed wire and dead bodies in between them.
00:12:08.620 They light matches.
00:12:09.960 And that light signaled something.
00:12:12.400 That is the spark of Christmas.
00:12:17.500 That is the light of Christmas.
00:12:19.620 That is what we built our whole civilization on.
00:12:25.780 And you can say, yeah, but look at what happened in that war of, you know, World War I.
00:12:31.620 It was awful.
00:12:32.520 The Germans gasped, et cetera, et cetera.
00:12:35.000 Well, the guy who wrote the German letter, the most famous German letter, he's actually a guy who was there.
00:12:42.840 And he was on the chemical squad, if you will.
00:12:46.660 He saw it deployed once, and he asked for a transfer.
00:12:49.340 And he wrote to his wife and said, this is an abomination.
00:12:52.020 This has got to stop.
00:12:52.880 He stayed in Germany.
00:12:54.140 He was one of the guys who got the Nobel Prize for splitting the atom, 1937, 38, I don't remember.
00:13:02.500 But he's one of the guys that got the Nobel Prize.
00:13:05.960 And he never joined the ranks of the Nazis and never went to build the atomic bomb.
00:13:12.080 He warned, you can't do this, you can't do this, can't do this.
00:13:24.140 Is he a good guy or a bad guy?
00:13:27.200 He's really, he's, he's really neither, really.
00:13:34.020 I think he's something rarer.
00:13:35.300 He's a man that understood too late that knowledge is never neutral.
00:13:40.520 It's what you do with the knowledge.
00:13:45.040 So what are we doing with our knowledge now?
00:13:48.960 And what are we doing in this holiday season?
00:13:51.140 Are we finding those striking matches?
00:13:53.560 Are we looking for the light?
00:14:00.160 We learned a couple of things.
00:14:04.320 A couple of things.
00:14:06.560 This week.
00:14:10.340 In my life, tomorrow is the last TV show I'll be doing.
00:14:14.760 The last Wednesday night special on Blaze TV.
00:14:19.720 And I urge you to join me.
00:14:21.060 But it'll be the last and kind of a end of a, I don't know.
00:14:26.580 End of a chapter.
00:14:30.080 And we also announced yesterday that Stu is going to be leaving the show shortly after the new year.
00:14:37.380 I have been begging him, borrowing him, bribing him, threatening his family, doing everything I could to keep him with me for 27 years.
00:14:47.780 And he has finally found something that he really wants to do.
00:14:54.320 And how can I possibly stop him?
00:14:58.120 I want to support him in that.
00:15:00.540 So he'll be leaving.
00:15:01.620 But I want you to know, while there is an ending to some of these things, there is a match strike in January.
00:15:15.020 And I call it the torch.
00:15:17.900 And let me bring it back to the history here.
00:15:21.440 You know, when you read a letter like that, or you hear somebody tell a story like that, you realize something uncomfortable.
00:15:28.020 History is not living in textbooks.
00:15:29.860 And it's not about dates and memorizing the date and the name.
00:15:32.660 It lives in breath.
00:15:36.040 It lives in cold hands.
00:15:38.160 It lives in fear and in longing.
00:15:41.480 And a letter like that is not data that you should remember.
00:15:44.360 1914.
00:15:47.720 That letter is a heartbeat that has long gone, long been silenced.
00:15:52.540 And I have been spending years collecting things like this.
00:15:57.160 Letters and artifacts and moments that were never meant to survive.
00:16:00.920 But if you want people to learn history, you can't just tell them what happened.
00:16:08.620 They have to feel it.
00:16:12.360 Let me tell you about our sponsor.
00:16:14.000 It's My Patriot Supply.
00:16:15.040 This time of year, we think a lot about, you know, taking care of the people we love.
00:16:18.140 And sometimes the most meaningful gifts are the ones that actually, you know, make a difference in exactly that way.
00:16:23.700 My Patriot Supply does that.
00:16:25.640 They put a deal together.

00:16:42.960 You're able to pass along something of value to your friends and your family or anyone who could use a little encouragement to be ready for the unexpected.
00:16:50.200 You're literally giving them the gift of preparedness.
00:16:52.820 The world's not getting more predictable.
00:16:54.200 It's getting much less predictable.
00:16:55.880 This special lets you cover your bases while giving gifts that actually matter.
00:16:59.920 And it's a smart move for a season built around generosity and care.

00:17:15.780 Now back to the podcast.
00:17:17.260 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:17:19.020 And don't forget, rate us on iTunes.
00:17:21.900 So announced in Los Angeles by the Department of Justice, four members of an anti-capitalist, anti-government group that calls for violence against the United States and its officials.
00:17:35.100 The plan allegedly plotting an attack on two U.S. companies with improvised explosive devices this New Year's Eve.
00:17:45.360 We don't know what those companies were, but it was not good.
00:17:51.100 The Turtle Island Liberation Front.
00:17:53.480 Turtle Island Liberation Front.
00:17:55.460 Ever heard of Turtle Island?
00:17:57.080 That's what the indigenous people call America.
00:18:01.340 Turtle Island.
00:18:02.160 That's what they call the North America.
00:18:05.100 This is a far-left, pro-Palestinian, anti-government, and anti-capitalist group.
00:18:11.060 When I say it was pro-Palestinian, I want you to understand this.
00:18:15.380 That is not their main thing.
00:18:20.220 They are anti-American and anti-capitalist.
00:18:24.420 This is part of what's called the Red-Green Alliance, and we'll explain that here in just a second.
00:18:29.340 But they were preparing to conduct a series of bombings against multiple targets in California beginning on New Year's Eve.
00:18:37.240 They also planned to target ICE agents and vehicles.
00:18:41.320 The four were arrested.
00:18:43.940 They faced federal charges of conspiracy and possession of an unregistered destructive advice.
00:18:50.940 This was called Operation Midnight Sun, and they were going to plant backpacks and pipe bombs and complex IEDs to detonate simultaneously at multiple locations, targeting U.S. companies on New Year's Eve at midnight.
00:19:05.560 It's considered, obviously, a terrorist attack.
00:19:10.060 Their searches of their homes uncovered Turtle Island Liberation Front posters like Death to America and Death to ICE.
00:19:20.120 You know, one of the funny things that I read was, this is from their Facebook post.
00:19:28.780 A little-known extremist group has paraded around sick slogans like Death to America and insisted that the United States' mere existence is inherently violent.
00:19:38.700 Now, this is what they posted on Facebook.
00:19:40.720 When we say Death to America and call for an end to colonization, it doesn't mean the displacement or harm of non-Indigenous citizens.
00:19:51.100 Wait, you were targeting ICE officials and you were going to blow things up.
00:19:58.220 I do not think it means what you think it means, but maybe that's just me.
00:20:07.200 Sorry, thought of Rob Reiner there for a second.
00:20:09.780 I just, it's sad to lose Rob Reiner with, anyway.
00:20:13.860 Let me go to Ryan Morrow.
00:20:15.940 Ryan is with us now, researcher and joining us at the torch as somebody who's just really going to sharpen us on all of our warnings
00:20:26.500 and all of our research into these radical groups.
00:20:29.620 Welcome.
00:20:30.260 How are you?
00:20:31.600 I'm doing great.
00:20:32.460 Thanks for having me on.
00:20:34.240 So, it was in April, I think you were on, and you said,
00:20:39.160 Glenn, you have to pay attention, one of the groups you have to pay attention to is Turtle Island Liberation Front.
00:20:44.120 And here it is, almost exactly what you said would happen is happening now.
00:20:47.900 Right, so what had happened was, is that with my colleagues at the Capital Research Center,
00:20:53.040 we had mapped out basically the entire anti-Israeli extremist movement, over 150 groups,
00:20:58.880 and that was with limited time.
00:21:00.500 So, it's much bigger than that.
00:21:02.600 But one of the things I saw in their ecosystem, and this just shows how we live in completely separate worlds,
00:21:08.500 is that this term Turtle Island was commonplace.
00:21:12.200 So, whether you're a communist or an Islamist or you're an anarchist or whatever,
00:21:17.220 you would refer to the U.S. as the so-called United States or Turtle Island and say it's occupied
00:21:22.940 and it needs to be liberated just like Palestine.
00:21:25.500 And so, they would refuse to say Israel, they say Palestine.
00:21:28.580 They refuse to say the United States and say Turtle Island.
00:21:30.660 Why?
00:21:31.280 And it's because of this conception out there, that I'm not even sure is that accurate,
00:21:35.100 that the Native American tribes referred to the U.S. and Canada and Mexico as Turtle Island
00:21:41.500 because they believed that the continent was created on the back of a turtle. 0.93
00:21:47.280 And then, and so the evil white settler capitalist came in and ruined everything. 0.98
00:21:52.920 That's what it inherently was, and so it's equivalent to Palestine. 0.73
00:21:56.040 And so, the conclusion of my study, and I debuted some of the findings with you,
00:22:01.160 and in fact, I think you were the only media outlet that actually made a point of this and got this.
00:22:05.880 With that, there's a certain level of diversity among these pro-terror extremists.
00:22:09.680 So, what's the unifying factor?
00:22:11.220 The theme?
00:22:12.120 It's liberating Turtle Island.
00:22:14.660 It's a way that, of calling for violence and the destruction of the U.S.,
00:22:18.640 just like they want to destroy Israel, but to do it in a way that goes over the heads of people,
00:22:22.720 but people who understand the language know what it means.
00:22:25.440 And it's frankly smart because of the sympathy and the way American students have been taught
00:22:34.180 about the history of the Native American tribes.
00:22:36.100 So, it taps into something where, if you think that there's a lot of sympathy for Palestinians,
00:22:42.700 the people that American, the youth, don't know anything about.
00:22:47.080 Now, imagine tapping into what they feel about what happened to the Native Americans.
00:22:50.800 I will tell you, the left has been courting the Native Americans for a very long time
00:22:59.360 because the right just hasn't, you know, paid attention to it at all.
00:23:02.800 And so, the left saw an opportunity, and they are deeply in, especially in the Navajo,
00:23:10.500 deeply, deeply in with the left, or the left is deeply in bed with the Navajo. 0.97
00:23:17.300 And there is an opportunity to turn people very, very radical,
00:23:21.740 and that's what you're talking about here.
00:23:23.560 And, you know, when you say this is an anti-Israel thing or pro-Palestinian,
00:23:29.480 I want to make sure people understand, just as the Marxists were the ones who helped overthrow
00:23:38.060 the Shah of Iran and bring the Ayatollah in, they were partners with the Islamists. 0.99
00:23:45.400 The Islamists, and I think the Marxists too, they're not part of the same endgame.
00:23:54.700 They don't have the same endgame in mind, other than, in that case,
00:23:59.660 the destruction of the Shah of Iran and freeing its people and having a revolution.
00:24:04.700 When Iran was overthrown in 1979, within two years,
00:24:10.020 30,000 Marxists were either killed, jailed, or disappeared.
00:24:14.180 And that this is the same kind of thing, this alliance with the indigenous people,
00:24:21.780 with the Islamists, with Marxists, they're all going to sort that out later. 0.95
00:24:30.000 They just want to kill us first. 0.96
00:24:32.080 They want to overthrow the government first. 0.99
00:24:34.680 Then they'll start eating each other.
00:24:36.600 Do I have that right or wrong, Ryan?
00:24:38.780 You have that right.
00:24:41.600 They don't even bother talking about that scenario too much,
00:24:43.720 because they just kind of feel like when you burn things to the ground,
00:24:46.780 what's natural and good will rise from the ashes.
00:24:50.060 And so the theme of Turtle Island is kind of the,
00:24:53.360 that's why I called it the Turtle Island Intifada.
00:24:56.100 It's kind of like what's bringing together all of these ideologies.
00:24:58.940 But what we also talked about back in April, and actually before that too,
00:25:03.680 was, well, what's the targeting strategy going to be?
00:25:06.600 And what we concluded was that the campaign is going to broaden,
00:25:10.280 because they were openly, I was seeing in their communication,
00:25:12.220 they're saying, look, this Israel issue is going to go away. 0.98
00:25:15.140 And they didn't want to say it was partially because Israel was kicking their butts so badly. 0.80
00:25:19.480 But they said, this issue is going to not rally people anymore. 0.93
00:25:22.360 What do we do?
00:25:22.920 We need to become an anti-police movement.
00:25:25.480 And to whatever degree we can, broaden it out to be an anti-Zionist, anti-capitalist movement.
00:25:30.660 And so you were able to tell, what was the next stage?
00:25:33.540 It was going to be under the banner of Turtle Island.
00:25:35.940 And they were going to target law enforcement.
00:25:39.280 Specifically, ICE was the one that was most talked about.
00:25:41.380 So that was able to be forecasted as well.
00:25:43.900 But also companies that they can connect, even by some leap, to the Zionist infrastructure.
00:25:51.280 Because that way you're hitting all the themes.
00:25:52.660 Anti-police, anti-Zionist, anti-capitalist, Turtle Island, and pro-Palestine. 0.78
00:25:58.960 And that's exactly what this plot was doing.
00:26:01.480 It actually gave to fruition in a way that's much more vivid than I anticipated.
00:26:06.100 So although this plot was foiled, make no mistake about it.
00:26:08.800 It is a marker in time for this new era, this new offensive that has begun.
00:26:13.820 How likely is this going to be, how likely is this to become the next BLM movement? 0.98
00:26:22.480 This, you know, Turtle Island liberation, you know, from, you know, from sea to sea, Turtle Island will be free kind of crap. 0.88
00:26:29.540 So I think it's extremely likely. 0.88
00:26:33.760 The chances are far better than 50-50.
00:26:36.900 In fact, I think it's inevitable it's going to get a lot of support just by people talking about saying, well, what is this Turtle Island thing?
00:26:42.200 Oh, the Native Americans? 1.00
00:26:43.420 Oh, well, there's this almost biblical narrative that follows this. 0.91
00:26:47.060 Where it was like the Turtle Island was the Garden of Eden, the capitalist white colonists, white supremacists with their patriarchal came in and infected it like the snake.
00:26:59.060 And then the Native Americans were essentially it's like a Jesus narrative at that point. 0.80
00:27:03.580 Well, they died for our sin.
00:27:05.740 And so now we need to restore the original Garden of Eden.
00:27:08.660 So sometimes they use that language specifically.
00:27:11.000 Most of the time it's just that type of theme.
00:27:12.600 But that's kind of the emotional pull that comes in by tapping into that narrative.
00:27:17.500 And by the way, one of the accounts that this specific terrorist group followed on social media was the Christian anarchists.
00:27:24.120 Now, I know you've said in the past you've noted how some of the anarchist language went over even into the white supremacists.
00:27:31.560 And people say, oh, they think of anarchists.
00:27:33.460 They just think of the far left.
00:27:34.700 Like, no, if you watch this, how this goes, like that is the cycle.
00:27:39.020 There is a, I guess you could say right wing, but it's more like anarcho-capitalist anarchists that sometimes identify as Christian.
00:27:46.880 And so it goes, this propaganda goes from the terrorists overseas governments to Turtle Island folks over to the Christian anarchists. 0.55
00:27:53.960 And then it cycles around.
00:27:55.220 So this is all one seditionist movement.
00:27:57.540 Do you think the Trump administration gets it?
00:28:03.100 I mean, hats off to the FBI and Kash Patel for, you know, thwarting this and stopping this as they were in the desert beginning to assemble these bombs.
00:28:12.960 Um, do you think the administration gets how deep this goes and is willing to do the things?
00:28:20.360 I mean, Ryan, you and I both know the West is on the verge of being lost forever.
00:28:28.740 If we don't wake up to this and we don't start calling, you know, calling evil by its name, we are, we're going to lose.
00:28:37.640 We're going to lose this.
00:28:38.720 We're close to losing Europe.
00:28:40.260 Well, three business days after you and I released, um, my report that I wrote about the $80 million that went from Soros' network to the pro-terror groups,
00:28:51.460 it was reported that the Trump administration had launched investigations specifically naming the report that we released on, on the Charlie Kirk show one week after he passed.
00:29:00.360 So, um, so do they get it?
00:29:02.320 I don't know if it's possible to fully get it if we don't.
00:29:04.860 Like, are they doing things?
00:29:06.320 Yes.
00:29:07.020 Can we help them do things?
00:29:08.300 Yes.
00:29:08.580 Remember that groups like the FBI and all of them, they can't just collect intelligence on everyone's free speech protected activity, but civilians can.
00:29:17.820 That's where civilian researchers come in.
00:29:19.760 And so that's what happened with the Soros report.
00:29:22.200 We can collect all of that.
00:29:23.320 We can make the case.
00:29:25.480 Um, and so does the FBI know all of it?
00:29:27.560 Uh, no, because we and the citizens having given them everything that they need.
00:29:32.840 And so I think two things have to happen.
00:29:34.180 First, um, we, we need to put together a team to map out the Turtle Island and Tefada and map this out so action can be taken.
00:29:41.160 And the second thing is actually what I think you're doing with preserving history is very important here because the counter narrative is going to require us to use historical documents to tell the truth of everything that went on with the Native American tribes.
00:29:54.160 The good, the bad, and the ugly, so that this type of simplistic hijacking of a biblical narrative for evil ends, uh, can't really happen for these anti-American ends.
00:30:05.040 Even if the perpetrators of it don't realize it's a biblical narrative, that's, that's where it's coming from.
00:30:09.080 It's a combination of the Garden of Eden story and, uh, the Jesus Christ story put together and framed for evil propaganda that even Satanists sometimes parrot.
00:30:22.940 Ryan, I mean, we're supporting you.
00:30:26.060 We're doing everything we can.
00:30:27.720 Um, I want to make sure that others, because you run a nonprofit, um, your research center, Capital Research Center is a nonprofit.
00:30:34.740 And you, you, you operate on donations.
00:30:37.600 If you are interested in helping what, what Ryan is doing in this way, I'm bringing him on the air a lot beginning next year and working closely with him.
00:30:48.700 Um, because what he is finding, the research that he's doing is unlike anybody else's.
00:30:54.080 Uh, and it's critical that it happens.
00:30:56.840 If you happen to want to make a donation to a charity, uh, or to a, um, you know, a 501c3.
00:31:04.740 Uh, please, um, consider Ryan's group.
00:31:08.280 How do they contact you, Ryan?
00:31:09.860 How do they give?
00:31:11.280 Uh, well, I partner with Capital Research Center, um, who are excellent to donate to.
00:31:15.680 So that's kind of like a, like a research wing.
00:31:17.320 And then also Ryan Morrow.com, which is my personal, uh, website.
00:31:21.020 That's where my specific intelligence gathering group is also based.
00:31:25.180 So I would say check out those two, um, because Capital Research Center is broader.
00:31:28.860 But if you want to focus just on, on the Turtle Island counter-extremism stuff, then Ryan Morrow.com is where people can contact me, um, or make a donation so that we can.
00:31:38.400 And, I mean, I mean, your fans can, like, they give me great intel, but I don't have the resources to act on all of it.
00:31:45.400 Um, and so I'm trying to rectify that because, uh, you've gotten, you've got an intelligence gathering army behind you and it's time that we use it.
00:31:52.820 Thank you so much, Ryan.
00:31:53.920 I appreciate it.
00:31:55.240 Ryan Morrow.com.
00:31:56.460 Ryan M-A-U-R-O.
00:31:59.540 Ryan Morrow.com.
00:32:00.780 They could use your support because we're about to turbo the research.
00:32:04.600 You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck.
00:32:07.500 Need a little more?
00:32:08.480 Check out the full show podcasts anywhere you download podcasts.
00:32:11.860 Let me tell you a story that you think you already know.
00:32:20.120 It's about a movie that feels like it has been there our whole lives.
00:32:25.940 It's like a tree in the town square or the hymn.
00:32:28.640 You don't ever remember learning, but somehow you know it by heart.
00:32:31.220 But this particular movie hasn't been around forever.
00:32:39.080 It just seems like it was actually born out of failure.
00:32:42.300 It was born out of exhaustion.
00:32:45.820 Uh, and it was born out of people who felt just like its lead character, George Bailey.
00:32:52.360 It's a Wonderful Life has a fascinating story behind it, and it speaks volumes about us, our hopes, our fears, our desires.
00:33:06.040 The movie was made by Frank Capra, and it was right after World War II.
00:33:13.940 Frank Capra had just come back.
00:33:16.420 Uh, he didn't come home triumphant.
00:33:19.160 He came home a changed man.
00:33:21.600 He had spent the war making film for the United States government, the War Department, about why the West is worth saving.
00:33:30.400 And this film series, they're fantastic.
00:33:32.440 It's called Why We Fight.
00:33:34.980 And when he returned, his old style of doing things, the old machinery just didn't fit Hollywood anymore.
00:33:46.020 So he started his own studio.
00:33:48.000 He bet absolutely everything on it.
00:33:50.160 And it's a Wonderful Life was supposed to be the movie that proved Frank Capra is still Frank Capra.
00:34:01.540 And it nearly ruined him.
00:34:04.120 The movie lost money.
00:34:06.240 Critics really didn't like it.
00:34:08.440 They mocked how schmaltzy it was.
00:34:11.080 Audiences stayed home.
00:34:13.380 Jimmy Stewart, this was his first movie that he made when he came back home from the war.
00:34:18.100 And this was his start.
00:34:20.100 And between Frank Capra and Jimmy Stewart, oh my gosh, you've got a massive hit, right?
00:34:26.480 Nobody came.
00:34:28.000 Nobody watched it.
00:34:29.120 Jimmy Stewart, the most beloved man in America, gave a really raw, shaken, almost too real performance for people at the time.
00:34:40.380 He wasn't the cheerful hero that is coming out of war as a victory.
00:34:44.620 This was a man that was cracking under the weight of responsibility, a man who did everything right, but he still felt like he was a failure.
00:34:55.860 Any of this sound familiar?
00:34:59.100 It was a story about what happened during the Depression and the crash of 29.
00:35:03.800 Well, America had been living that forever.
00:35:08.200 They had been living that since 29.
00:35:11.180 They went through the long depression.
00:35:12.800 Then they went through the war.
00:35:14.080 And the first thing out of war, they don't want to watch a movie about how depressing life can be.
00:35:20.360 Okay?
00:35:21.740 So it was a total failure.
00:35:25.000 Film disappears.
00:35:26.760 Goes into a vault.
00:35:29.280 It's a noble misfire.
00:35:32.800 Good idea.
00:35:33.660 Just didn't land.
00:35:34.480 Maybe wrong time.
00:35:36.520 Maybe too schmaltzy.
00:35:40.080 Then something weird happened.
00:35:42.420 Everybody forgot about it.
00:35:44.080 And so the rights lapsed.
00:35:45.520 There was no grand relaunch.
00:35:47.320 There was no marketing genius.
00:35:48.720 Just a legal oversight that let the rights lapse.
00:35:52.800 Enter Ted Turner.
00:35:55.200 Ted Turner and Superstation TBS.
00:35:57.480 Do you remember Superstation TBS?
00:36:00.460 When he had bought a bunch of stations across the country and he tied them all together.
00:36:06.720 And then cable came in and Superstation TBS became TBS.
00:36:13.300 Turner.
00:36:14.440 Well, he was looking on Superstation TBS.
00:36:17.140 They needed some holiday programming and they needed it cheap.
00:36:20.240 And when I say cheap, what Ted really meant was free.
00:36:24.920 We need a bunch of free programming that we can run all Christmas.
00:36:29.540 Okay?
00:36:30.160 No rights.
00:36:31.020 No royalties.
00:36:31.920 What is out there?
00:36:34.360 The vaults open up and lo and behold, they find it's a wonderful life.
00:36:40.280 Suddenly, it appears in our life.
00:36:42.960 And I don't know about you, but I always thought it had been around forever.
00:36:46.960 I mean, it didn't seem like it was a new relaunch.
00:36:49.640 It wasn't like, hey, have you heard about this new movie?
00:36:51.760 It just was there and on and we thought everybody knew about it.
00:36:54.880 Nobody knew about it.
00:36:56.060 Our grandparents probably didn't even know about it because it was a massive failure.
00:37:01.220 It's on afternoons, late nights.
00:37:03.540 It's on morning.
00:37:04.600 It's everywhere.
00:37:05.520 It's everywhere.
00:37:06.440 Black and white snow flickering in the living rooms as our kids are playing on the floor.
00:37:10.440 And we as adults are in the kitchen, half listening and half watching.
00:37:13.680 And slowly, slowly, its message found us.
00:37:19.220 It found us this time because America had changed.
00:37:23.560 We weren't fresh from despair and we weren't fresh from victory anymore.
00:37:30.960 We weren't those people.
00:37:33.000 It wasn't so close to us that we didn't want to look at us.
00:37:38.420 Yes, we were tired.
00:37:39.720 We were busy.
00:37:40.320 We were stretched thin.
00:37:41.260 But we were also a group now that measured our lives in promotions and in square footage
00:37:49.860 and bank balances.
00:37:52.780 We were starting to become a little Mr. Potter-like and we didn't want to be Mr. Potter.
00:37:59.480 And there on the screen is George Bailey standing on a bridge wondering,
00:38:05.860 would the world be better without me?
00:38:08.980 He's not a villain.
00:38:12.980 He's not a loser.
00:38:14.020 He's actually a really good man.
00:38:17.800 He's the best of us and that's why it still works.
00:38:27.200 Think of all the happy endings that we have and everything else and all the stories that we tell ourselves.
00:38:32.060 This movie doesn't tell you that life is going to turn out the way you planned.
00:38:38.100 This one tells you something much, much harder.
00:38:40.080 That the measure of your life is probably going to be invisible to you while you're living your life.
00:38:49.140 Because Clarence ain't coming down in his 1800s clothing and having a hot toddy with you.
00:38:55.640 So you probably won't know the real measure of your life.
00:38:59.120 And the biggest victories in your life don't come with applause.
00:39:04.000 And the sacrifice, it usually doesn't feel heroic at the moment. 0.98
00:39:08.280 It just feels like sacrifice and crap. 0.98
00:39:12.380 Why me? 0.97
00:39:13.200 Why me?
00:39:13.840 Why don't I ever get the adventure that I planned my whole life?
00:39:17.120 Remember, George never left Bedford Falls.
00:39:20.320 He never becomes famous.
00:39:21.820 He just stays.
00:39:24.820 And he shows up.
00:39:26.900 And he keeps his promises.
00:39:29.440 And he holds people together.
00:39:36.580 What is the real...
00:39:38.500 What's the real miracle of the film?
00:39:45.580 It's not Clarence.
00:39:47.460 It's not the Bells.
00:39:51.820 It's not him getting his life back.
00:39:56.180 The real miracle is the ledger.
00:40:02.020 That's the miracle.
00:40:04.040 The names, the faces, the small kindness, all stacked up one on top of each other.
00:40:10.720 Until you realize, oh my gosh, all of those little acts,
00:40:15.440 they amount to a life that actually mattered.
00:40:19.200 We're all looking for the big, splashy...
00:40:23.400 He didn't get any of those.
00:40:25.760 He didn't get that.
00:40:27.700 And that's why he felt like he was a failure.
00:40:30.440 That's why when the town shows up in the end,
00:40:33.340 and they're all giving, you know, just a few dollars,
00:40:35.740 it breaks us every single time.
00:40:42.760 Because deep down, we're not watching George Bailey.
00:40:47.020 Deep down, we're checking our own books, our own ledger.
00:40:52.860 Did I...
00:40:53.940 Do I matter to anybody?
00:40:56.940 Would I be missed?
00:41:02.620 Do the things I gave up,
00:41:04.440 the things that I really wanted to do in life,
00:41:06.680 but because something else came up,
00:41:08.380 or I had to serve, I had to do this for my kids,
00:41:11.080 or I had to do this...
00:41:15.140 The things I gave up, does it mean anything?
00:41:17.360 This film answers it with a whisper.
00:41:25.600 It doesn't shout it.
00:41:26.460 It whispers.
00:41:31.780 You'll never fully know the good you've done.
00:41:36.120 I can't give you an answer.
00:41:37.660 You'll never know it.
00:41:39.200 You'll never see the ripples while you're standing in the water.
00:41:44.120 But they're there.
00:41:44.980 Believe me, they're there.
00:41:52.400 So this year, when you
00:41:53.560 either just have it running
00:41:55.920 while you're all in the kitchen,
00:41:57.600 and you're watching from time to time,
00:41:59.160 oh, I love this part, I love this part,
00:42:00.800 and everybody gets quiet for a minute,
00:42:02.240 or you just curl up on the couch and watch it again,
00:42:05.140 remember, you're not watching a Christmas movie.
00:42:09.460 What you're watching is a reminder
00:42:10.860 that life doesn't have to be loud
00:42:13.040 to be important.
00:42:14.980 that staying
00:42:17.100 can be braver
00:42:19.180 than leaving.
00:42:22.780 That loving your family
00:42:24.420 and your neighbors
00:42:25.540 and your town,
00:42:26.800 imperfect as it is,
00:42:28.600 that's not settling.
00:42:31.540 It's choosing.
00:42:32.480 And whether Ted Turner knew it or not,
00:42:41.160 I can guarantee you that Jimmy Stewart did,
00:42:43.760 and Frank Capra certainly did.
00:42:48.040 That every time you see that,
00:42:49.720 why we, year after year,
00:42:51.160 when the snow starts falling
00:42:52.840 and that old piano theme plays,
00:42:55.420 we come back,
00:42:56.120 not for the nostalgia,
00:42:57.180 but for the reassurance.
00:43:02.860 Because every once in a while,
00:43:05.820 all of us need somebody
00:43:07.560 just to look us in the eye
00:43:09.000 and say,
00:43:09.460 you're here.
00:43:15.520 You mattered.
00:43:19.460 And it is a wonderful life.
