00:00:14.760 I want to talk to you a little bit about My Patriot Supply.

00:00:17.180 You know, when Christmas comes, you know, you're looking for a gift that's actually useful,

00:00:23.520 not a, oh, open it, smile, and forget about a present.

00:00:26.320 Patriot Mobile has something special.

00:00:27.720 They're running their buy one gift to Christmas special,

00:00:30.820 and it's one of the smartest holiday deals I have seen.

00:00:33.520 When you buy a four-week emergency food supply for yourself,

00:00:36.340 they're going to give you two one-week food kits free.

00:00:40.160 So you keep the big kit, and suddenly you've got two meaningful practical gifts

00:00:43.800 that you can give to friends or to family.

00:00:45.660 And I'm telling you, these one-week kits are perfect for anybody who's into preparedness

00:00:49.960 or anybody who needs a little nudge to finally get started.

00:00:52.300 I was in a house with somebody I just met yesterday.

00:00:54.180 I met them at their business, and they had food storage.

00:00:58.000 And I asked them, why are your walls all made out of steel?

00:01:01.260 And they were like, I'm a prepper.

00:01:03.360 I think you'd understand.

00:01:04.280 I'm like, oh, okay.

00:01:06.680 Look, now is the time to be prepared.

00:03:12.040 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:16.900 Hello, America.

00:03:18.080 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:19.280 We have a lot to cover today.

00:03:20.600 And yes, we're going to cover the politics unfolding in Tennessee today.

00:03:23.560 It's kind of a strange, strange thing.

00:03:25.780 I've never seen a politician say, I hate everybody that lives here.

00:03:29.980 Vote for me.

00:03:30.700 But that's the new world we're living in now.

00:03:33.420 Also, the tremors out of Venezuela.

00:03:35.260 The New York Times is now critiquing the Washington Post.

00:03:39.440 And I can't believe I'm saying this.

00:03:40.580 I think the New York Times actually has this right.

00:03:42.580 They did the better work.

00:03:43.380 They have now five stories saying, yeah, how many?

00:03:47.120 Five sources.

00:03:48.560 I'm sorry.

00:03:48.960 Five sources that are now saying, yeah, I don't think that the Pentagon said, hey, they're hanging

00:03:57.040 on by a shred of their life, holding on to that rubble of the boats. 1.00

00:04:00.680 Kill them. 1.00

00:04:01.580 What a surprise. 1.00

00:04:02.880 We'll go through all of the news of the day that is important because it'll affect the world

00:04:06.760 that you live in tomorrow.

00:04:07.840 But none of it means anything unless we understand the deeper currents that are happening.

00:04:13.780 And, you know, everybody can everybody can give you the news of the day.

00:04:17.720 I want to give you the news that you need for tomorrow.

00:04:20.320 What is over the horizon?

00:04:22.200 I want to talk to you about the debt cycle.

00:04:23.940 That's the mathematical fate that no civilization has ever escaped once it crosses a certain

00:04:30.780 threshold.

00:04:31.580 And we are there.

00:04:32.900 We're not approaching it.

00:04:34.220 We are there.

00:04:35.500 And I'll show you what the rest of the world and what Donald Trump are doing to prepare

00:04:39.700 and what you need to do to prepare your family.

00:04:42.600 Also, the collapse of meaning.

00:04:44.960 We have built a world of things and distractions and noise so loud that, I mean, how do you

00:04:51.400 even hear yourself think?

00:04:53.640 And also the truth on history, actual history, because there is a coordinated effort to rewrite

00:05:01.360 history.

00:05:02.160 And it is coming from surprising sources.

00:05:04.560 But I want to correct that history and make sure that we understand it, because we're not

00:05:09.940 only writing the history for the history books today on everything that we're doing every

00:05:15.980 day, but we're also now engaged somehow or another in rewriting what we knew to be true

00:05:21.260 in the past.

00:05:22.100 And it is very, very dangerous.

00:05:24.520 It's not just another program.

00:05:26.560 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:05:28.200 And we begin in 60 seconds.

00:05:30.600 First, let me tell you about American financing.

00:05:32.400 Every family has that number there.

00:05:34.400 They're afraid to look at, you know, that's the total that you're spending on interest

00:05:37.940 every month.

00:05:39.340 You know, it's there, you know, it's too high and it's eating away at the money that should

00:05:43.680 be going to your life.

00:05:44.780 Not some bank's bottom line.

00:05:47.520 Most people think about getting out of debt or lowering a pay a payment requires some huge

00:05:52.460 drastic change, but sometimes it doesn't.

00:05:54.820 It just takes somebody who understands how these loans actually work and American financing.

00:05:59.420 They don't work for the banks.

00:06:00.600 They work for you.

00:06:01.320 They're specialists that can look at your situation and say here, right here.

00:06:04.400 Right here.

00:06:04.700 This is where you're bleeding money.

00:06:05.960 And here's how we fix it.

00:06:07.880 Often.

00:06:08.440 In fact, everybody who is working with them from this audience, the average is saving

00:06:12.440 $830 every month because they picked up the phone and called them and said, can you help

00:06:16.920 me with this?

00:06:17.400 $830, that's, you know, that's like a $10,000 raise.

00:06:21.820 That's quite a nice raise to give yourself.

00:06:25.240 All you have to do is call them now.

00:06:27.360 800-906-2440.

00:06:29.560 800-906-2440.

00:06:32.220 Or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

00:06:34.960 NMLS 1-82334.

00:06:36.420 NMLS ConsumerAccess.org.

00:06:38.040 APR for Ritz and the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.

00:06:41.740 Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

00:06:47.700 You know, as I'm looking at today's show and I'm trying to put everything together in a

00:06:53.720 way that is consumable for you, something that will help you, help you understand, give

00:07:00.480 you information that you can't really find any place else and put you ahead of the game.

00:07:06.500 So, you know, I've always felt my job is to put you in a situation to where you can be

00:07:14.000 the guide.

00:07:14.600 You're not going to be surprised what happens next because you've already heard it.

00:07:18.860 You've thought about it.

00:07:20.060 You've, you know, digested it.

00:07:21.940 And when it happens, you can be the person that goes, no, no, no, don't go that way.

00:07:25.740 Come this way.

00:07:27.940 And as I'm looking at, because I want to talk a little bit about socialism, probably in

00:07:32.280 hour number three today, uh, and what our kids are thinking about socialism.

00:07:36.100 And in some ways it's inevitable.

00:07:39.160 Of course, they're thinking that, but there's also byproducts of that.

00:07:44.240 There's also what, what led them to socialism is the seeing that nothing has meaning that

00:07:49.740 we built.

00:07:50.320 You know, there is this new attitude, um, that is emerging across our culture.

00:07:55.440 It's quiet, it's unsettled, and it's unmistakable.

00:07:58.320 And it's the realization that the world that we have built, uh, doesn't build us, you know,

00:08:06.200 it, it, it's meaningless.

00:08:08.700 And in this last century, we have mistaken abundance for purpose.

00:08:15.940 And we've stacked up skyscrapers and stitched supply chains together across continents.

00:08:21.500 And we filled warehouses, you know, the size, honestly, have you seen some of the warehouses

00:08:26.220 that Amazon has built their size of small nations.

00:08:28.420 It feels like, and they're filled with everything, every object, the human heart could possibly

00:08:33.640 desire.

00:08:35.380 And then we stand by and we ask, why is the human heart starving? 0.99

00:08:40.860 Because our heart doesn't need any of that crap. 0.99

00:08:44.220 That's in that Amazon warehouse. 0.96

00:08:45.580 We, in the past 100 years, and we're all coming to the same conclusion, I think at the same

00:08:53.880 time, but it will lead us into different paths.

00:08:58.380 We have taught our children to chase two gods, wealth and fame.

00:09:03.120 Okay.

00:09:04.120 The two most fragile currencies ever created.

00:09:07.140 And we ask, we ask our kids, what do you want to be?

00:09:10.720 I've railed on this forever.

00:09:12.880 When you have a young kid, the typical question is, what do you want to be when you grow up?

00:09:18.320 You want to be a doctor, an athlete, influencer, a billionaire?

00:09:22.140 You could be president.

00:09:23.860 That's the wrong question to ask.

00:09:27.560 Who do you want to be when you grow up?

00:09:30.420 Who do you want to be?

00:09:32.660 What virtues do you want to embody?

00:09:34.980 What kind of strength will you carry?

00:09:37.260 What kind of courage do you hope to live out?

00:09:39.540 We don't teach character.

00:09:43.420 We teach branding, which is a, is empty, empty.

00:09:50.680 Notice brands don't mean anything anymore.

00:09:53.780 Logos don't mean anything anymore.

00:09:55.560 They're empty.

00:09:56.580 Everybody knows that we've neglected the soul and instructed them in self-promotion.

00:10:03.120 And then we wonder why an entire generation feels unmoored and suicidal.

00:10:08.160 Living in a world wired for dopamine, not dignity, dopamine.

00:10:13.860 But as I said, something remarkable is happening.

00:10:19.200 People are beginning to say, you know, enough.

00:10:22.460 Not with anger, not with pitchforks, hopefully.

00:10:25.000 But with a quiet rediscovery that meaning doesn't come from what you own, but from what you honor.

00:10:32.800 I, this Thanksgiving, I sat with my son and we were up till about two o'clock in the morning.

00:10:39.220 We had watched planes, trains, and automobiles.

00:10:43.340 And then we just sat there and we talked and he started talking about school.

00:10:50.700 And he just can't seem to find his way.

00:10:54.320 And I, I, I, there's, there's a million kids like this.

00:10:58.320 He's so smart.

00:10:59.660 He's got everything going for him, but he just can't find his thing.

00:11:05.220 And it's hard because his dad knew his thing when he was eight.

00:11:12.140 And I remember when Rafe was 13 years old, he was with a friend, we were in Los Angeles and he was walking behind me with a friend and I was with somebody else.

00:11:22.300 And, uh, my friend said to him, as I was told later, so what are you planning on?

00:11:28.780 What are you thinking about doing?

00:11:30.100 What, what are your, what are your goals?

00:11:31.520 And, uh, and my son said, are you kidding me?

00:11:35.720 13, are you kidding me?

00:11:36.960 And then he pointed to me and he said, how do you compete with that?

00:11:42.220 My friend told me this and I was heartbroken.

00:11:44.660 I went to him and I'm like, Rafe, Rafe, you're not competing with me.

00:11:47.600 I won the lottery.

00:11:49.180 I won the lottery.

00:11:50.280 The odds of my success are, are impossible.

00:11:55.040 They're impossible.

00:11:58.180 It's not about success, but it's hard to get that lesson to a kid.

00:12:04.400 When that's what the world is preaching success, success, success.

00:12:10.380 And so we were talking, I said, how are you doing in school?

00:12:12.740 And we were talking and he said, you know, dad, I'm not like you.

00:12:17.200 I didn't know what I wanted to be when I was eight.

00:12:19.420 I don't know what I want to do.

00:12:21.000 I don't know.

00:12:21.980 I just want to do something that is meaningful to me.

00:12:26.160 And he's putting up all kinds of roadblocks in his life, et cetera, et cetera.

00:12:30.160 And, you know, we all do.

00:12:30.980 And, uh, I said, wait a minute, Rafe, don't make the same mistake I made because I did

00:12:38.940 know what I want because I knew what I want.

00:12:40.900 By the time I was 30, I had pursued it relentlessly.

00:12:44.500 And every time I hit a milestone, it wasn't enough.

00:12:48.140 And by the time I was 30, I was an alcoholic.

00:12:50.760 I was out of control and I, I had just destroyed my whole life because I thought I knew exactly

00:12:57.920 what I wanted and it was empty when I got there.

00:13:03.220 And I said, now you're destroying yourself because you can't find what you want to do.

00:13:08.400 Maybe perhaps, and this is just a perhaps, I don't know.

00:13:12.580 Maybe perhaps we both got it wrong, that meaning is not found in what we do.

00:13:20.440 Meaning is not found in our success or our failure.

00:13:24.560 Meaning is found elsewhere.

00:13:26.700 Maybe I was pursuing it in a way that was destructive.

00:13:32.280 And now you're pursuing in a different direction.

00:13:35.020 This destructive because it's not based on meaning.

00:13:37.600 There is a hunger for the one meaning that we have, we have really tried to find, you

00:13:51.240 know, it, whether it's whispered or unspoken, that hunger for the one meaning that we have

00:13:57.380 tried to find, we've also, we, we've erased it.

00:14:02.620 The truth is we didn't build a world without purpose.

00:14:07.660 We built a world without God.

00:14:11.720 I wanted to, so I wanted to start with, because we're in the Christmas season, how do we find

00:14:18.160 meaning again?

00:14:19.580 Because we're not going to find it with a revolution.

00:14:21.460 We're not going to find it by burning the world down, by remembering what was buried on

00:14:25.200 the, you know, or left on the floor of Macy's and Walmart somewhere between Black Friday

00:14:30.500 and door busters and, you know, aisle five markdowns.

00:14:34.700 We, we've, we've lost the gift of craftsmanship, the gift of time, the gift of stories, the

00:14:41.120 gift of presence, the gift of gratitude, the gift of wonder, and the gift of God stepping

00:14:48.380 into humanity and saying, you can start all over again.

00:14:53.040 And I, I hope that as we're waking up to this place where there's no meaning in so many

00:15:01.120 people's lives, that that is what we find, because that's what this time of year is supposed

00:15:06.380 to remind us.

00:15:07.460 Instead of saying, what should I buy?

00:15:09.700 Maybe we should ask what lasts, what has real meaning?

00:15:14.440 What will, what will help this person find meaning?

00:15:17.520 What will help me find meaning by giving it to them?

00:15:22.860 Instead of running our fingers over glass, glossy packaging, we pick up something with

00:15:27.720 memory attached to it, an heirloom, a handwritten letter, a book that shaped our life, a framed

00:15:33.580 photo of a moment.

00:15:34.900 We nearly forgot that once we remembered, we're like, oh my gosh, that was so important.

00:15:40.700 Look for gifts that tell your child, I see who you're becoming and I believe in you.

00:15:45.680 A gift that whispers, this is a piece of our story.

00:15:51.360 Carry it forward.

00:15:52.720 A gift that says, I made this and I thought of you while I did it.

00:15:58.060 Maybe the most meaningful thing we can give this year

00:16:01.400 is that conversation like I had with my son by the fire after Thanksgiving.

00:16:09.640 Or an apology that you've been waiting decades to express.

00:16:12.880 Or forgiveness that you never imagine offering.

00:16:18.900 Maybe it's time to teach the meaning behind all of it.

00:16:21.520 The meaning behind the season itself.

00:16:24.560 You know, and my kids were really small too.

00:16:26.860 And you can make fun of me, mock me, or call me cheap.

00:16:29.680 But my kids on Christmas, I used to just give them boxes.

00:16:33.740 All wrapped up with bows, filled with paper.

00:16:36.720 Because at two years old, they didn't know what the gift was.

00:16:39.540 They had no idea.

00:16:40.420 They just liked the bows and the wrapping and the unwrapping and the boxes of paper.

00:16:44.400 That was fun for them.

00:16:45.300 That's all they needed.

00:16:47.260 But I think in some ways, that's what we're giving each other.

00:16:50.380 Even though we've put something in that box, that's what we've turned this holiday into.

00:16:53.820 We keep the bows.

00:16:55.000 We keep the paper.

00:16:55.940 We keep the boxes.

00:16:57.160 But we've taken the real meaning, the baby Jesus, out of the picture.

00:17:01.660 So we've removed the reason for the box and the wrapping.

00:17:05.040 And so when we're done, we're left with empty boxes, empty gifts, empty hearts.

00:17:12.320 And we're like, I was kind of empty.

00:17:17.020 Meaning is still here.

00:17:18.320 It's always been here.

00:17:19.920 We move.

00:17:20.860 It doesn't.

00:17:21.500 It's not found in tearing down the world.

00:17:27.420 It's found in rebuilding the smallest, most sacred corner of it.

00:17:32.180 The home, the table, the family circle, the individual, the friend, the family member that is lost.

00:17:39.160 As we talk today about what we have to do to rebuild our world, let's start with rebuilding the meaning.

00:17:50.880 The same way that every civilization has one virtue at a time, one tradition at a time, one generation at a time.

00:18:00.260 If you're going shopping, don't look for the gifts that flash.

00:18:05.180 Give the gift that will endure.

00:18:07.100 Give the gift that will outlive you.

00:18:09.160 Give the gift that remind your children, not what they should be, but who they're meant to become.

00:18:19.160 Give them the gift that began this season in the first place.

00:18:23.800 The reminder that God himself stepped into the world and handed humanity the one gift that we can never outgrow.

00:18:31.480 We can never outuse.

00:18:33.900 It should never lay dusty because I need it every single day.

00:18:37.500 And that is forgiveness.

00:18:39.160 Because forgiveness inside of that gift is hope.

00:18:45.780 Back in a minute.

00:18:46.540 First, let me tell you about relief factor.

00:18:51.400 There is a moment most people with chronic pain know all too well.

00:18:54.720 And it's that second, right?

00:18:56.260 You know, when you wake up before your body reminds you what hurts for that split second, everything feels normal.

00:19:00.960 And then you move and the stiffness and the aches and the pains and everything else.

00:19:04.760 You're like, ah, ah.

00:19:06.920 And your day starts with the agony that you didn't ask for.

00:19:09.600 If that's your reality, relief factor may be exactly what you need.

00:19:14.220 Relief factor has been built for that kind of pain.

00:19:16.440 It doesn't grab the headlines, you know, but it but it doesn't.

00:19:21.700 It controls your life.

00:19:23.620 That daily persistent inflammation that makes simple things feel so difficult.

00:19:28.660 It's a daily support formula created to help your body reduce that inflammation naturally so you can get back to moving and working and living without feeling like you're fighting your own joints.

00:19:38.020 When your pain eases, your mood changes, the you take the stairs without thinking about it.

00:19:43.520 You say yes to the things used to turn down.

00:19:45.980 It's not about turning you into somebody new.

00:19:48.020 It's about giving your life back to you.

00:19:50.360 Give the three week quick start a try.

00:19:52.520 It's nineteen ninety five.

00:19:53.660 Visit relieffactor dot com or call eight hundred for relief.

00:19:56.340 That's one eight hundred.

00:19:57.820 The number for relief relief factor dot com.

00:20:01.300 Let's take a quick 10 second break.

00:20:08.020 All righty.

00:20:19.060 Welcome to it, by the way.

00:20:22.720 As I'm talking about buying gifts with meaning, let me just let me just schlep some crap your way here from the Glenn Beck website, Glenn Beck dot com.

00:20:30.960 If you're looking for gifts that actually, you know, kind of mean something, head on over to Glenn Beck dot com.

00:20:38.100 Check out the full line of Glenn Beck show tees, the hats, the brand new No King But Christ collection.

00:20:44.000 You know, we have it from clothing to mugs to, you know, actual wrapping paper with a No King But Christ logo on it.

00:20:51.400 Every piece quietly but firmly declares.

00:20:55.040 I know who I serve.

00:20:56.420 Go to Glenn Beck dot com.

00:20:58.800 Glenn Beck dot com right now.

00:21:00.760 Also, today is Tuesday, December 2nd.

00:21:05.420 It is giving Tuesday.

00:21:07.140 This is the day of the largest single global generosity for the entire year.

00:21:13.180 And Mercury One has a goal of three hundred thousand dollars to raise today for a maximum impact fund because of this.

00:21:20.140 When there is a crisis, if there's a tornado and literally there has been a tornado that is hit.

00:21:25.300 I think we're in Oklahoma and I'm in Dallas and a tornado hit like at six o'clock.

00:21:32.060 We were on the road by maybe 10 and we were in Oklahoma by four o'clock the next morning with the trucks doling supplies out for people who had been hit.

00:21:43.180 But that happens because of our maximum impact fund.

00:21:46.740 It gives us the funds to have before I have to go on the air and raise them.

00:21:50.860 So if you if you would like to help us, please, your tax deductible donation giving Tuesday.

00:21:57.780 Just go to Mercury One dot org today.

00:22:00.900 Mercury One dot org.

00:22:02.180 Let's say hello to Stu.

00:22:03.180 Hi, Stu.

00:22:04.280 Hey, Glenn.

00:22:04.880 So if we have giving Tuesday, do we move Taco Tuesday to Wednesday?

00:22:09.260 How does that how does that work?

00:22:10.300 Taco Tuesday becomes Wednesday.

00:22:13.720 OK, that's good.

00:22:15.420 Wednesday, hump day Wednesday becomes hump day Thursday.

00:22:20.000 And Thursday has never had any meaning anyway.

00:22:22.240 So, no, definitely.

00:22:23.760 I will say we've started to pile.

00:22:25.320 Thursday is just always the day.

00:22:27.160 Yeah.

00:22:27.320 Thursday is just the day that you go. 0.98

00:22:28.880 Oh, crap. 0.85

00:22:29.460 I thought it was Friday. 0.99

00:22:30.680 Yeah.

00:22:31.060 You know, and there's no name for that.

00:22:32.960 I also think a sane society that had the right thing, like the right things in mind in the right

00:22:39.500 preference order would probably put giving would Black Friday might be giving Friday because

00:22:46.200 you've spent all your money on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

00:22:48.940 You have nothing left on giving Tuesday.

00:22:51.240 Giving Tuesday is like the change in the bottom of your bag that you throw at the person with

00:22:56.860 the bell outside of a store.

00:22:59.520 But isn't that amazing?

00:23:00.740 By the way, the guy with the bell outside of the store, that's over.

00:23:04.160 You and I both know that is over.

00:23:06.280 Yeah.

00:23:06.920 Oh, that's just a matter of time before that Santa.

00:23:09.400 You know, they stopped dressing up as Santa now.

00:23:11.040 Now they're just some like disgruntled guy who's like, can you I mean, can somebody just

00:23:14.940 at least look at me at least look at me when you walk by?

00:23:19.300 We won't even give you a glance, let alone money a lot of times.

00:23:22.740 No, no.

00:23:23.380 Look the other way.

00:23:24.040 Look the other way.

00:23:24.560 The guy with the bell is there.

00:23:26.340 Anyway, giving Tuesday.

00:23:27.600 It is amazing that this is the largest day of giving in the year.

00:23:31.300 And, you know, it's all because of the Internet.

00:23:33.780 Go to mercuryone.org, mercuryone.org.

00:23:36.620 OK, we're going to go to Tennessee in one of the weirdest political races I think I've

00:23:43.480 seen.

00:23:44.380 We go there next.

00:23:47.920 This is Glenn Beck.

00:23:50.640 If the meat in the meal isn't good, nothing else on the table matters.

00:23:58.180 That's why I love good ranchers.

00:23:59.480 They take all of the guesswork out of the holiday cooking because everything they ship

00:24:02.960 is 100 percent American meat from farms and ranches that you can trust, whether it's their

00:24:07.640 steaks, chicken or seafood.

00:24:09.040 It arrives frozen at peak freshness and cooks like something you'd expect at a high end restaurant.

00:24:14.520 The meat is not imported, you know, disguised with deceptive little packaging like the little

00:24:21.000 American flag on it.

00:24:22.200 It's just really good meat from America.

00:24:24.740 And during the holidays, when you've got family coming over and the pressure is on, Good Ranchers

00:24:28.640 makes you look like you know exactly what you're doing.

00:24:31.100 People think you spent hours tracking down premium cuts.

00:24:34.080 You didn't.

00:24:34.820 You just ordered from the one company that refuses to cut corners.

00:24:37.900 So this year, don't just give another holiday gift.

00:24:40.160 Give a reason to gather.

00:24:41.720 It's good ranchers dot com.

00:24:43.360 To start gifting and while you're there, you can gift and treat yourself as well.

00:24:48.620 Subscribe and use my code back.

00:24:50.580 You'll save forty dollars off.

00:24:52.140 I'm sorry.

00:24:52.760 Yeah, forty dollars off your first order and free meat for life.

00:24:56.740 Once again, good ranchers dot com.

00:24:58.480 Forty dollars off plus free meat for life with the promo code back.

00:25:02.580 Good ranchers dot com.

00:25:03.940 Let's get back to the American table.

00:25:06.580 It is giving Tuesday.

00:25:08.380 If you're able to give, we'd certainly appreciate it at mercury one dot org.

00:25:11.940 It is mercury one.

00:25:14.080 All right.

00:25:40.820 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:25:42.860 Well, it's an interesting day in Tennessee.

00:25:46.520 There is an election going on today in Tennessee.

00:25:50.860 And it's kind of an important one because this is a district that, you know, went to Trump by 22 points.

00:26:01.780 And the Democrats are not spending as much money as the Republicans are, which kind of tells you something.

00:26:09.320 We better not lose this one.

00:26:11.820 Stu?

00:26:13.140 Yeah, it's an interesting one, Glenn.

00:26:16.300 It's the 7th Congressional District in Tennessee.

00:26:19.280 And it is a race, as you point out, that should be very, very friendly to Republicans.

00:26:24.760 This should not be one that they have to worry about.

00:26:27.040 As you noted, 22-point margin for Donald Trump in 2024.

00:26:31.800 And this race is going on because of a representative who stepped down and took a job in the private sector.

00:26:38.400 So, right off the bat, you know, the important part of right now is the fact that the Republicans already have a very small majority in the House.

00:26:47.960 They came in with a historically small majority.

00:26:50.420 So, losing any representatives is a big deal.

00:26:52.600 They've had to deal with, you know, a few months of this going on.

00:26:56.320 And now they have to defend this seat.

00:26:59.980 The two in the race, Matt Van Epps is the Republican.

00:27:04.320 He is, you know, you never know in one of these cases.

00:27:07.420 When you have a bright red district, sometimes you get a candidate that's not very good.

00:27:12.040 Sometimes you get a candidate, you know, where you get kind of like a crazy person who wins the primary.

00:27:16.960 It does not seem to be the case here at all.

00:27:18.920 Matt Van Epps is a West Point graduate.

00:27:21.240 He is a decorated helicopter pilot.

00:27:25.000 He is seemingly a fiscal conservative.

00:27:28.640 Does not seem to be some crazy person with lots of, like, wild tweets or anything like that.

00:27:33.360 It seems to be a...

00:27:35.020 Hasn't been on an island, Epstein or other.

00:27:37.980 I don't think so.

00:27:38.840 I think he's avoided all pedophile islands, which is great.

00:27:43.360 You really want...

00:27:44.240 Even peninsulas.

00:27:45.360 He doesn't even go anywhere that has the word pedophile on it.

00:27:48.220 He has stayed away from it, which is a fantastic thing.

00:27:52.060 That's great.

00:27:52.560 You know, and that would be the type of risk that you might have in a situation like this,

00:27:58.280 where you have a fringy type candidate.

00:27:59.940 He does not seem to be that.

00:28:00.880 And also, when you look at the Republican side of the aisle, sometimes you get a candidate

00:28:08.420 who's, like, super Trumpy, and maybe the old-school conservatives aren't on board with it.

00:28:13.960 Or you get an anti-Trump Republican that runs, and Trump won't endorse or something.

00:28:18.580 And Megan's not, yeah.

00:28:19.460 It doesn't seem that either of those have happened.

00:28:21.280 Like, this is a guy who, you know, like, the Club for Growth seems to like, and Trump has endorsed

00:28:26.460 and rallied for.

00:28:27.660 So, you have...

00:28:29.360 They didn't blow this.

00:28:31.980 Like, they didn't go in this with, like, okay, like, we're super confident.

00:28:36.400 Seems to have handled this relatively competently.

00:28:38.840 The other thing, and you kind of noted a little bit of this, which is interesting, is they saw

00:28:44.260 this coming.

00:28:45.380 They were worried about this from the beginning and decided to actually spend money on this

00:28:50.180 race, which sometimes, again, can be a problem with...

00:28:53.180 Doesn't happen.

00:28:53.720 You know, they sometimes are like, oh, we got this 22 points.

00:28:56.560 We don't need to do anything.

00:28:57.880 Democrats comes in, spends tons of money, and the Republican loses somehow.

00:29:02.220 That didn't happen here.

00:29:03.280 The Republicans have spent, I think, over $3 million.

00:29:06.740 The Democrats spent about two.

00:29:08.740 So, again, they've both been spending.

00:29:10.180 This is an important race.

00:29:11.300 But Republicans actually came in and spent some cash in this race.

00:29:14.420 Because if the Democrat wins, it's a one-point majority?

00:29:19.040 One or two.

00:29:19.640 There's a bunch of seats in flux.

00:29:21.300 It's very, very close to put it that way.

00:29:23.660 You can't lose seats right now.

00:29:26.720 To the extent of, like, the House majority, it's not completely out of the question they

00:29:32.860 could lose this before 2026.

00:29:35.640 Right?

00:29:35.880 Oh, my gosh.

00:29:36.600 With a couple of weird moments happening with, you know, again, most of these congressmen

00:29:41.740 are over 96 years old.

00:29:43.520 So, you never know what's going to happen.

00:29:45.220 And, you know, retirements.

00:29:47.200 A lot of these people in purple districts are looking at 2026 and saying, I'm not going

00:29:51.760 to win.

00:29:53.000 So, maybe I just bail now and take a private sector job.

00:29:57.240 I don't think they will lose the majority because of that.

00:29:59.520 But it is an outlier possibility in this case.

00:30:03.100 So, you look at this race, and the other part about this is, do the Democrats pull a candidate

00:30:11.360 who's great?

00:30:12.200 Every once in a while, you get this person who's, you know, maybe, you know, a military

00:30:16.040 member on the Democratic side who's really, you know, a smooth talker and can talk to 0.50

00:30:20.260 the average person, even though they're a Democrat, and they don't sound like a lunatic.

00:30:23.840 Like a Tulsi Gabbard that the Democrats would actually like.

00:30:28.240 Right, right, right.

00:30:28.880 Someone they didn't eject out of the party immediately when they started making sense.

00:30:33.120 There's fewer and fewer of them, but they might still exist somewhere.

00:30:36.860 Right.

00:30:37.160 I mean, you know, I'm not entirely sure that unicorns don't exist.

00:30:41.160 So, it might happen.

00:30:42.040 It could have.

00:30:42.580 It could have.

00:30:43.220 Did they pull a unicorn?

00:30:44.860 And the answer to that does seem to be a flat no.

00:30:48.120 What they pulled was an Afton Bain, which is, this is a candidate running who is seemingly

00:30:57.480 more on like the kind of AOC side of the Democratic Party.

00:31:02.240 Not someone who's going to relate to the average person.

00:31:05.300 Now, she's had a couple of moments, made some news as this race has gone on. 0.90

00:31:11.160 And she, this is, let me give you cut three first. 1.00

00:31:13.900 This is a 2020 podcast clip of one of her podcast clips of her that's been resurfaced during this

00:31:22.460 campaign, talking about the area she actually would be representing.

00:31:27.020 Because I hate the city. 0.89

00:31:28.180 I hate the bachelorettes. 1.00

00:31:29.220 I hate the pedal taverns. 0.89

00:31:30.480 I hate country music.

00:31:31.560 I hate all of the things that make Nashville.

00:31:34.220 Barely.

00:31:35.160 So, again, suboptimal clip.

00:31:37.940 So, that's really kind of a hard thing.

00:31:41.760 You know, it's kind of like saying, I want to represent the part of the district, you

00:31:48.860 know, of Orlando where Walt Disney World is.

00:31:52.620 But I hate Disney.

00:31:54.940 I hate Disney.

00:31:55.420 I hate talking mice.

00:31:57.280 I don't like ducks without pants on.

00:31:59.800 It's like, generally speaking.

00:32:01.320 I mean, I can understand, you know, you're, I don't like Vegas, but Vegas likes Vegas.

00:32:06.740 Right.

00:32:07.320 You know, the state likes Vegas.

00:32:09.280 It's really an important thing.

00:32:10.500 I mean, if you have, you know, you happen to have a store or, you know, country music

00:32:15.260 and the stores and the, you know, the honky tonks and all of that stuff, that's what makes

00:32:20.860 Nashville a destination.

00:32:23.060 Right.

00:32:23.580 And that's the thing.

00:32:24.460 If you want to get rid of that, you're going to not do good things for the economy.

00:32:28.760 I mean, Glenn, you and I both know people who live and work in Nashville.

00:32:34.360 It's not an uncommon sentiment for people to be frustrated about the bachelorette parties

00:32:40.640 and the pedal taverns and the things that go on downtown.

00:32:44.660 It's a what?

00:32:45.200 It's Nash Vegas, right?

00:32:46.500 Like it is wild.

00:32:47.360 Yes.

00:32:47.660 And it can be that way.

00:32:48.640 And if you're a resident, there is some of that that is somewhat common to the area.

00:32:54.500 Yes.

00:32:54.680 Though saying that you hate the city when you're trying to represent the city.

00:32:58.760 Not necessarily optimal.

00:33:01.260 I'd say it's suboptimal.

00:33:02.420 Right.

00:33:02.780 And also, as you point out, it is a it's it's the economy.

00:33:05.860 Right.

00:33:06.240 Like this is a you know, it is if you hate that and you're fighting against it, you're

00:33:11.600 fighting against thousands and thousands of jobs.

00:33:14.100 You're fighting against millions of dollars that are coming in.

00:33:17.120 That's not a great look.

00:33:19.800 Even if you believe it, it's the type of thing that a consultant would correctly advise you

00:33:24.040 not to publicly say if you're running for office.

00:33:26.080 But in today's world, that might be the exact right thing to say.

00:33:30.460 It might be.

00:33:31.440 The things that consultants say don't ever say that.

00:33:33.960 Yeah.

00:33:34.100 I think in this case, I would shy away from I would say you hate the city.

00:33:39.060 I would, too.

00:33:39.500 You know, the other part of this is we saw much, much, much worse out of Zoran Mamdani

00:33:45.060 and he won.

00:33:46.200 But he won a, you know, a Democrat plus 20 type of city.

00:33:52.360 Right.

00:33:52.600 This is a Republican plus 20 type of district.

00:33:55.780 So it's, you know, probably not the approach you want to take.

00:33:59.460 There is another one that is going on.

00:34:01.700 You know, again, she's trying.

00:34:02.940 She's very much a progressive.

00:34:04.280 But, of course, trying to message herself as someone who can work across party lines,

00:34:10.280 because that's what you need to do as a Democrat to win in a Republican plus 22 district.

00:34:15.500 And that just means that, you know, Democrat Republicans will win by 20 points, typically

00:34:19.880 in a typical cycle.

00:34:21.340 Here is a 2023 political forum with Afton Bain talking about her ability to work across

00:34:26.300 the aisle.

00:34:26.640 You cannot work with these people working across the aisle has has rarely been effective

00:34:32.620 in the last 10 years.

00:34:34.440 OK, so what we need to do is, one, we need to continue organizing external pressure to

00:34:40.040 the Republican supermajority, which is exactly what happened in April when students and teachers

00:34:45.200 came together and voiced their frustration and forced Governor Lee to call a special session.

00:34:49.720 So, again, suboptimal, probably, if you're trying to present yourself that way, which

00:34:57.120 is what she's tried to do.

00:34:58.520 She's tried to present herself.

00:34:59.900 You know, her her messaging and ads is like affordability. 0.99

00:35:03.860 And can you believe these Republicans won't release the Epstein files?

00:35:07.880 And it's like your party had control of everything for four years and didn't do this.

00:35:13.140 You are aware of that.

00:35:14.140 Right.

00:35:14.620 But of course, none of that.

00:35:15.840 And you notice as soon as they were released how the Democrats just went completely silent.

00:35:20.780 Right.

00:35:21.100 Like Epstein files.

00:35:22.440 No, there was nothing in there.

00:35:23.560 What are you talking about?

00:35:24.360 It's a bizarre thing. 1.00

00:35:25.380 So stupid. 1.00

00:35:26.100 It pulls well, though. 1.00

00:35:27.100 Right.

00:35:27.280 People do want the Epstein files out.

00:35:29.020 And that kind of goes across party lines.

00:35:30.840 So all this set up to basically say the Republicans didn't seemingly blow this with any of their

00:35:37.360 big decisions.

00:35:38.080 The Democrats didn't pick, you know, some generational talent to come in to this race.

00:35:45.160 And this is a race where you'd say in normal times, maybe the Republicans win by 20 points.

00:35:50.220 The polling has not showed that.

00:35:52.020 And nobody expects the Republicans to win this race by 20 points.

00:35:55.140 That's kind of the bad news.

00:35:56.140 A lot of the polling leading and it's a special election to give you a quick outlier on that

00:36:02.500 or a quick explainer on that.

00:36:04.640 These races are weird.

00:36:06.160 Right.

00:36:06.660 It is December.

00:36:08.060 It's not an election day.

00:36:09.980 No one knows what the turnout is going to look like.

00:36:12.280 It is a very strange off year special election.

00:36:16.900 Anything can happen in these.

00:36:18.280 And there's not a lot of polling to tell us what is going to happen.

00:36:23.140 Yeah.

00:36:23.240 And the really bad thing about this is, you know, you're you live in a place like this.

00:36:30.340 It'll happen.

00:36:30.900 And you just you're so busy with everything else.

00:36:33.120 You just don't even realize, oh, that was that was yesterday.

00:36:36.280 I was going to vote.

00:36:37.640 We were talking about this.

00:36:38.600 We talked about this yesterday in the meeting before the show.

00:36:41.240 And we're like, oh, yeah.

00:36:42.280 Hey, that Tennessee election is going on.

00:36:43.840 And I was like, oh, yeah, geez, like that's the one with the crazy late.

00:36:46.740 Like it was like it's so it's out of our minds.

00:36:49.340 We just came off of Thanksgiving weekend.

00:36:51.220 I have no idea what the turnout is going to be on this.

00:36:53.300 And that is a real concern.

00:36:54.720 The ones that right.

00:36:56.320 The ones that are the ones that win are the ones that can turn their base out.

00:37:02.120 And if you have a Democratic Socialist, if you have somebody who can take these guys down and hold them back, you're going to get your people out.

00:37:11.160 They'll be motivated because they'll know it won't take a lot of us to throw this election.

00:37:15.520 If you identify.

00:37:16.440 I'm just hoping that the Democrat or the Republicans in in Nashville understand what they're up against today.

00:37:23.020 It's a great point.

00:37:23.580 I mean, if you're a Democratic Socialist and you live in this in this district, there's no way you're not showing up.

00:37:28.380 You're motivated.

00:37:28.820 You're going to be there.

00:37:29.920 The question is, are the Republicans, the typical people who think they're going to win this race, going to be there?

00:37:34.580 The polling is showing.

00:37:35.900 My guess is no.

00:37:37.580 Well, I think that's a huge concern.

00:37:40.120 Certainly.

00:37:40.580 Twenty two points.

00:37:41.560 You're like, oh, it'll be fine.

00:37:43.240 Every every indicator that we have.

00:37:46.020 And I will say there's not a lot of those indicators because it's lightly polled and it's a weird time.

00:37:52.540 But every indicator we have shows that some of those people that would typically come out and vote for Donald Trump in a presidential election or a senator in Tennessee are not going to show up for this election.

00:38:04.440 Like every indicator we have.

00:38:06.160 The polling leading up in a couple of the couple of months leading up to this showed typically Van Epps, the Republican, with a high single digits lead.

00:38:16.640 So not a 22 point lead, which you might expect, but more like eight or nine.

00:38:20.240 Now, that's still a victory and it's not going to change the balance of the House and everything else.

00:38:26.180 If they show up.

00:38:27.540 If they show up.

00:38:28.600 Here's the bigger worry.

00:38:29.840 And this is where you get really scared.

00:38:32.040 The last poll, the only one that we have that's very recent in the last few days came out from Emerson.

00:38:41.620 And Emerson's a pretty good pollster.

00:38:43.020 Did well on Trump.

00:38:44.920 They have this race as a two point race.

00:38:47.960 Two.

00:38:49.100 The Republicans still winning, but a two point race.

00:38:52.340 So if you happen to be in this district, if you know somebody who's in this district, you have someone who you know is like, I think I would vote for the Republican, but we're going to win anyway.

00:38:59.580 I'm not going to worry about it.

00:39:00.600 Might be worth a phone call today because if that poll is right and, you know, I don't know that it is, but if it's that if it's that close, this is a massively dangerous thing.

00:39:11.900 And I can to be clear to say this in advance, so I can't take it back later would be completely catastrophic for Republicans if they lost this race.

00:39:19.600 It is.

00:39:20.520 It's a special election.

00:39:21.720 So there's asterisks around it.

00:39:23.240 But the idea of what this points to in 2026 is not positive if this is a two point race or somehow the Republicans lose.

00:39:32.860 All right.

00:39:33.400 Thank you for stopping by, Mr. Sunshine, with that bit of news.

00:39:37.280 Unfortunately, he's exactly right.

00:39:39.380 If you know somebody in Tennessee, in Nashville, who's in this district, they've got to go out and vote today.

00:39:46.140 They have to because the other side is motivated and we are most likely complacent on it.

00:39:53.500 Let me tell you about Z factor.

00:39:55.120 Holidays are a beautiful time of the year, but they are not a quiet time of the year.

00:39:58.620 We've got travel.

00:39:59.580 We've got family staying over late night events, early morning plans to do list that somehow or another just keeps growing no matter how much you cross off.

00:40:06.980 But just how is this growing?

00:40:09.120 The first thing that always seems to disappear this time of year is sleep.

00:40:12.700 Z factor is a sleep supplement from the makers of relief factor designed to help your body wind down naturally so you can actually rest, not just collapse into bed and hope for the best.

00:40:23.000 You know, if you're abroad, your brain is running a marathon at night.

00:40:26.800 You're going to wake up feeling like you never slept.

00:40:28.900 You're you know, you're just staring at the ceiling all night thinking about all the things you have to do tomorrow.

00:40:34.140 This is not good.

00:40:35.520 And the Z factor is for you.

00:40:37.860 It'll help you relax, fall asleep faster and wake up feeling like you actually are rested with the holidays in full swing.

00:40:43.500 Getting good rest can make all the difference in the world.

00:40:45.460 First time Z factor buyers are going to enjoy 46 percent savings.

00:40:48.320 Just nineteen ninety five for a 30 day supply.

00:40:50.200 Visit relieffactor dot com or call 800 for relief.

00:40:53.140 That's 800.

00:40:53.920 The number four relief.

00:40:57.360 Teach your kids, right? 1.00

00:41:00.200 Shoot. 0.99

00:41:00.600 You know, schools won't do it for you. 1.00

00:41:04.560 This is Glenn Beck.

00:41:19.940 Holiday shopping is hard.

00:41:22.100 We know that.

00:41:22.780 That's why I like chef, man, because it solves the whole problem in like five minutes.

00:41:27.480 Everything they make is built for people who actually use their kitchen.

00:41:30.660 Let me give you a couple ideas here, because Christmas shopping, you got a lot to look at the indoor pizza oven.

00:41:35.880 This is a great example of this.

00:41:37.040 You just plug it in.

00:41:38.040 You press a preset and you get a pizza that tastes like it came out of a restaurant with a crisp crust and the perfectly melted cheese.

00:41:43.440 And now I'm very hungry.

00:41:44.240 Then there's the obliterator blender, the obliterator.

00:41:48.820 It's basically the blender for you if you are tired of pretending your old blender actually works, because it doesn't.

00:41:55.300 This will handle ice and nuts and frozen fruit and anything you throw at it.

00:41:59.680 The auto blend technology that adjusts itself.

00:42:01.880 So you get the smooth soups or shakes smoothies without standing there guessing.

00:42:07.220 If you're looking for gifts that bring a little fun to the season, they got the slushy maker, a big crowd pleaser.

00:42:12.220 Kids love it. Bright, sugary treats.

00:42:15.080 Adults can turn it into frozen cocktails.

00:42:16.780 Might be a little fun for the holiday party.

00:42:19.100 Simple, fast, and very weirdly addictive to make new things.

00:42:22.220 They get the new ice cream maker that turns the entire kitchen into a dessert lab with ice creams, sorbets, and everything else.

00:42:28.580 You control the flavors, you control the ingredients, and it's ready in minutes.

00:42:32.180 Head over to chefman.com slash blaze.

00:42:47.980 So, one of the insiders just wrote into the show and said, you know, we don't have the Epstein files.

00:43:04.520 We're never going to have all of the Epstein files, and nobody's even going to go to jail.

00:43:08.240 I think you're absolutely right on that.

00:43:10.520 I think those things were destroyed long ago.

00:43:13.080 You know, they've been floating around with both parties for, you know, more than a decade.

00:43:18.140 So, that's been cleansed.

00:43:20.480 But the really problem, the biggest problem is the last comment from the listener, and that is, no one's ever going to go to jail.

00:43:28.260 You know, I said, when Trump first got in, I'm going to give them a year.

00:43:34.300 I'll give Pam Bondi a year. 1.00

00:43:36.540 We're approaching now the year.

00:43:38.280 In January, it'll be a year.

00:43:39.640 January 20th, it'll be a year.

00:43:41.000 And I said, if nobody has gone to jail, or there's no trials, significant trials that have started, I'm going to unleash.

00:43:50.660 And that's the problem.

00:43:52.540 You know, we have investigations in the House, investigations in the Senate.

00:43:55.800 We have investigations with the DOJ.

00:43:57.720 We have investigations with the FBI.

00:43:59.600 We have investigations with all of them.

00:44:03.280 Have you seen anybody go to trial?

00:44:05.280 Have you seen anybody actually taken down in a perp walk?

00:44:08.480 Have you seen anyone go to jail yet?

00:44:11.300 Until that's solved, unfortunately, the DOJ, FBI, and everybody else is just going to keep losing credibility.

00:44:33.080 You know, around the holidays, we just, you know, get reminded of just how fragile life really can be.

00:44:38.300 Travel, weather, shortages, you know, delays, all of these little things that can suddenly turn into big problems.

00:44:44.040 And that's exactly why I keep telling you about Jace Medical, because they give you something priceless.

00:44:48.400 Control in a world that feels less and less predictable.

00:44:51.840 Their Jace case is one of the best things I've added to my emergency prep.

00:44:55.460 I mean, this is the one, this is the hole that nobody else has filled.

00:44:58.720 It's a ready-to-go stock of the most important emergency medications, antibiotics, all packed by doctors, shipped straight to your door.

00:45:06.240 No scrambling during a shortage.

00:45:07.820 No, sorry, we're out, hoping that your pharmacy gets the truck in the morning.

00:45:11.360 You have what you need when you need it.

00:45:13.420 And they don't stop there.

00:45:15.040 They built the Jace Daily for people who rely on important daily medications.

00:45:18.560 They also give you a full year's supply, so you're not, you know, at the mercy of a broken supply chain or disaster aftermath.

00:45:24.700 Plus, their Jace aid first aid kits.

00:45:26.720 These are remarkable.

00:45:28.280 They're the most practical, well-built kits I have ever seen.

00:45:31.940 They're really great.

00:46:55.700 When times get tired, got to face the dog and embrace the fire.

00:47:01.840 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:47:06.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:47:12.860 There is a great story in the Federalist, also the Wall Street Journal, about how the average person cannot keep up with the persistent inflation.

00:47:22.740 What does this mean and what does this mean to the Republicans?

00:47:26.720 And more importantly, what does it mean to the Republic and you?

00:47:29.820 We've just crossed a Rubicon, if you will, a place where we're very close to getting off of the bridge onto the other side where you cannot undo what has been done.

00:47:41.640 We're very close to that.

00:47:43.440 And I want to take you through the cycles of debt.

00:47:47.860 There is a cycle of debt and it has happened over and over again in history several different times.

00:47:53.420 So we know exactly how it happens, what comes next, and we can chart where we are.

00:47:57.380 There are five different parts, phases in this cycle of debt.

00:48:02.280 And I'll show you what they are historically and then where we are.

00:48:07.700 And then I want to show you what's being done because, well, you'll understand.

00:48:13.600 And then what do you do?

00:48:15.280 We'll do that this hour.

00:48:16.700 Stand by.

00:48:17.280 First, let me talk to you a little bit about Cozy Earth.

00:48:19.120 You know, when it finally gets quiet in your house at night, that's the best time to appreciate your Cozy Earth sheets.

00:48:25.620 It's, you know, it's not just how soft they are or how incredibly smooth they feel against your skin.

00:48:29.800 It's how they create a sense of calm the moment you touch them.

00:48:33.380 They're cool.

00:48:33.940 They're breathable.

00:48:34.700 They're luxurious without ever feeling really fussy and uptight.

00:48:37.760 It's the kind of comfort that makes you instantly relax the second you lie down.

00:48:41.560 And their blankets, if you have family coming to visit, you've got to get at least one of these.

00:48:47.320 Cozy Earth is one of the few gifts that doesn't just look good under the tree.

00:48:50.960 It makes the whole season feel better.

00:48:53.040 Sleep feels better.

00:48:54.220 Movie nights feel better.

00:48:55.340 Quiet mornings with coffee feel better.

00:48:57.380 And their 100-night sleep trial, that 10-year warranty, that makes the difference.

00:49:02.680 You're giving somebody a gift that will last long after the decorations come down.

00:49:06.520 Give the gift of everyday luxury this holiday season.

00:49:09.340 Head to CozyEarth.com.

00:49:10.620 Use the promo code BEC for up to 40% off.

00:49:13.160 Make sure to order by December 12th for guaranteed Christmas delivery.

00:49:16.120 That's CozyEarth.com.

00:49:18.420 Promo code is BEC.

00:49:21.160 All right, so let me start with the debt cycle because you need to understand where we are

00:49:25.860 because for the very first time in world history, there's something new that has happened.

00:49:32.060 The entire globe is riding the same wheel at the same time.

00:49:37.080 Okay?

00:49:38.120 We're all in this debt cycle, and this has never happened before.

00:49:42.200 The cycle always begins the same way.

00:49:44.840 The first step in this debt cycle is discipline.

00:49:48.900 Discipline equals prosperity.

00:49:51.060 Okay?

00:49:52.000 It goes right into prosperity, and every great empire starts with discipline.

00:49:56.220 Rome did, you know, rebuilding after all the wars with strict budgets and silver coinage

00:50:01.240 and land reforms.

00:50:02.660 It helped restore the, you know, the battered middle class. 1.00

00:50:05.900 Dutch Republic did the same thing.

00:50:07.280 They invented modern finance while keeping spending in check, turning a swamp into the world's

00:50:12.100 largest trading hub.

00:50:13.400 Then the British Empire did it.

00:50:15.340 After the glorious revolution, it brought fiscal stability and a gold-backed pound that the

00:50:21.120 world trusted for over 200 years.

00:50:23.200 When that fell, America did it. 0.52

00:50:25.440 After World War II, our debts were manageable, our currency was solid, we were backed by gold,

00:50:30.720 our productivity was unmatched, and we prospered.

00:50:33.820 That's stage one, discipline into prosperity.

00:50:39.100 And prosperity, if not guarded, always leads to the second stage, complacency into excess.

00:50:49.860 Okay?

00:50:50.020 So, success creates this fatal illusion.

00:50:54.700 The moment, you know, where we all look at each other and go, like, this is great.

00:50:58.240 It's going to be like this forever.

00:50:59.440 It's always been like this, and it'll always be like that.

00:51:02.680 Rome began borrowing heavily to pay for endless bread and circuses.

00:51:07.920 France funded the palaces and the pensions and the perpetual wars through loans it could

00:51:13.060 never repay.

00:51:13.660 Britain, in the late 19th century, took its global empire for granted and levered itself

00:51:21.980 into World War I.

00:51:26.020 Then came World War II.

00:51:28.540 And then America, beginning in the 1970s, untethered the dollar from gold and discovered that debt

00:51:37.280 could replace discipline.

00:51:38.700 So, the second stage of the debt cycle is the age of entitlement expansion, imperial overreach,

00:51:48.660 cheap credit, and political bribery disguised as compassion.

00:51:54.080 Any of that sound like we've been there, done that?

00:51:57.140 The Dutch called it windhandel, the trade in the wind, paper promises that replace real production.

00:52:04.220 We call it stimulus, easy money, deficit spending, different words, same exact sin.

00:52:10.540 That leads you into stage three, financialization.

00:52:15.620 That goes into fragility.

00:52:19.160 This is the most seductive stage.

00:52:22.320 Rome debased its money until it was worth less than 2% of the original silver.

00:52:27.240 The Byzantines watered down their unshakable dollar, if you will, and confidence collapsed. 0.81

00:52:34.880 France printed their money back by land until they were worth less and used as wallpaper.

00:52:40.800 Weimar Germany did the same thing.

00:52:42.460 They destroyed 1,000 years of savings in 18 months.

00:52:46.100 Japan, 1990, papered over its real estate collapse with 30 years of zero interest rates.

00:52:52.540 And America, after 2008, discovered this intoxicating illusion started by George W. Bush,

00:53:00.380 I can violate the free market system to save the free market system.

00:53:04.740 That's quantitative easing.

00:53:07.180 Money conjured up without cost, without any restraint, without any consequence.

00:53:12.660 In stage three, nations convinced themselves they're immune to any kind of gravity.

00:53:19.140 This time it's different.

00:53:20.440 We can manage this debt.

00:53:23.260 Well, modern tools, you just don't understand.

00:53:26.160 The rules no longer apply.

00:53:29.360 You don't understand.

00:53:30.640 Really, you don't understand.

00:53:32.000 The old rules always apply because math is math.

00:53:36.480 And stage three always ends exactly the same way wherever it's tried.

00:53:41.880 The markets no longer trust the promises they're being fed.

00:53:46.080 Which leads us into stage four, the breaking point.

00:53:50.440 Every empire eventually reaches a moment where its debts cannot be serviced.

00:53:57.160 They can't be inflated away quietly.

00:53:59.360 They can't be rolled over without consequence.

00:54:02.760 Rome reached it when they froze prices and shattered the last productive parts of its economy.

00:54:07.580 France reached it in 1788 when it can no longer borrow.

00:54:10.620 And that whole thing, you know, came to a head.

00:54:14.280 Britain reached it in 1931 when it abandoned the gold standard.

00:54:18.820 Weimar reached it when inflation ate the soul of the nation and extremism took over. 0.70

00:54:24.040 Japan reached it when its bond market effectively became nationalized, propped up by its own central bank.

00:54:28.860 And right now, America, Europe, China, Japan, and every other major power, listen to this carefully, have all hit stage four at the same time.

00:54:42.020 Never before in human history has this happened.

00:54:45.640 The bond markets are shaking.

00:54:48.480 The currencies are all volatile.

00:54:50.960 Politicians are praying that no one notices the numbers, you know, that they no longer add up.

00:54:57.180 Stage four is not coming.

00:54:59.580 We are now living inside the opening act.

00:55:02.900 This is so important.

00:55:04.060 Yesterday, there was a story that said that this is going to be the biggest Christmas season ever.

00:55:08.840 And I'm wondering to myself, I see the prices, I go to McDonald's, I go to the grocery store, I was in Walmart this weekend, I see the prices, and I'm looking at the prices, and every time I see the prices, I'm like, how does the average person afford any of this?

00:55:28.180 And yet we're spending, spending, spending, and I don't understand it.

00:55:31.300 And I fear that we are doing what the government is doing.

00:55:33.800 We're just spending because we can, we think we can get out of it.

00:55:38.840 Then comes stage five.

00:55:43.120 It's called the reset.

00:55:45.440 Hmm.

00:55:46.640 Every debt system ends in one of three ways.

00:55:51.120 They inflate the money so they can pay off the debt, and that's just an absolute wipeout.

00:55:57.600 Weimar Republic did it.

00:55:58.780 France did it. 0.60

00:55:59.480 Rome did it.

00:56:00.260 Just a wipeout.

00:56:01.620 Then there's a hard default and political upheaval.

00:56:05.500 Russia did that in 1917.

00:56:07.420 Argentina did it over and over again.

00:56:11.140 War leading to a new monetary order.

00:56:14.340 That's another one.

00:56:16.000 The Napoleonic Wars.

00:56:21.500 The British gold standard.

00:56:23.080 World War II.

00:56:23.960 Bretton Woods.

00:56:24.660 All of that.

00:56:25.400 But there is always a reset, always a new order that is born from the ashes of the old.

00:56:32.160 And here's what makes this moment unprecedented.

00:56:35.160 Rome collapsed by itself.

00:56:36.920 France collapsed alone.

00:56:38.620 Weimar collapsed by itself.

00:56:40.780 Britain declined while America rose.

00:56:44.120 It was always one country coming down and another country coming up.

00:56:48.840 This time, all countries, all countries on both sides, the free world and the not-so-free world, there's no one rising.

00:56:58.620 China is drowning in its local government debt.

00:57:01.580 It's never going to say this, but it is a paper, it's a paper tiger.

00:57:06.720 Europe is fractured and coming apart at the seams.

00:57:09.740 Japan, demographic time bomb.

00:57:13.160 America is politically frozen and insolvent fiscally.

00:57:16.740 So for the very first time in world history, every major civilization has reached its peak of the debt cycle.

00:57:26.940 This time, all at the same moment, no one's coming up.

00:57:31.800 So what does that mean?

00:57:34.100 Well, for the very first time in human history, it means when it arrives, it's not going to be regional.

00:57:39.820 It will be global.

00:57:41.060 It's not going to be slow.

00:57:43.000 It'll be systemic.

00:57:44.780 It'll be everywhere.

00:57:46.740 Now, the hope the history books don't tell, and nobody in the media will tell you this, is with every one of those resets, every collapse, every crisis, it created the conditions for renewal.

00:58:01.280 Rome, its fall, opened the door for a new Christian civilization. 1.00

00:58:05.480 France, the revolution there, birthed the modern nation state.

00:58:08.940 Britain's decline cleared space for America's rise.

00:58:11.740 The devastation of World War II led to the great expansion of prosperity.

00:58:16.040 The greatest that the world has ever seen.

00:58:19.400 So the next chapter is not written.

00:58:23.220 What happens to us is not written.

00:58:26.400 And it whether we rise or fall from what's coming depends not on Washington, not on Wall Street, but on us in our homes and our families and our churches and our communities.

00:58:37.420 The debt cycle is not prophecy.

00:58:39.700 The debt cycle is not prophecy.

00:58:40.280 It is a warning.

00:58:42.700 You cannot borrow your way out of moral, fiscal or spiritual bankruptcy.

00:58:47.400 Now, I don't feel like I chose this path.

00:58:53.220 I mean, this this with Bretton Woods and then 1972 coming off the gold standard and what they did in 2008 to bail out all the banks.

00:59:00.960 I didn't have anything to say.

00:59:01.980 Did you have anything to say about that?

00:59:03.360 Because I didn't.

00:59:04.400 I didn't.

00:59:05.340 I wouldn't have chosen those things.

00:59:08.540 But.

00:59:09.980 The world is putting something together.

00:59:12.520 And I want to show you what our choices are, because right now people say, oh, you know, I don't like what Donald Trump is doing or I don't like the World Economic Forum or I don't like what China.

00:59:24.500 OK, great.

00:59:25.760 But I want you to know it's going to be one of these systems because it's being built.

00:59:31.800 It always happens when one is coming down some new system, usually a country, but not a country this time, a new system begins to rise and it happens before the fall.

00:59:45.440 So I've been telling you for a long time about the World Economic Forum, but there are others that are rising.

00:59:50.540 And I want to show those to you because you need to understand what tomorrow may look like and then choose carefully which one you want.

01:00:02.600 Personally, I don't like any of them, but one of them is definitely better than the others.

01:00:07.740 I'll go there here in just a second.

01:00:09.280 Stand by first.

01:00:10.020 Let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:00:11.700 It's the Burna Launcher.

01:00:13.040 This Christmas, you want to give somebody a gift that will truly protect them.

01:00:17.000 Take a look at the Burna Compact Launcher.

01:00:19.060 It's one of the smartest, most practical gifts you can put under the tree.

01:00:22.180 It gives you the ability to stop a threat at a distance using Burna's non-lethal chemical irritant rounds.

01:00:27.580 It fires tear gas.

01:00:29.280 It fires pepper spray.

01:00:30.780 And there is, I mean, there is nothing faster when you need it.

01:00:34.860 There's nothing faster to deploy.

01:00:36.360 There's no recoil.

01:00:37.540 There's no hassle.

01:00:38.520 No permit is required.

01:00:39.760 It's legal in all 50 states.

01:00:41.640 I love the standard Burna Launcher.

01:00:43.720 The Compact is the one that make you say, okay, this would make sense.

01:00:46.580 I can put, my wife can put this in her purse. 1.00

01:00:48.980 My kids can put this in their bag.

01:00:50.780 You know, I can carry this, you know, in real life situations.

01:00:53.800 Um, I got one of these for my kids last year for Christmas.

01:00:58.100 Each kid has them because they all were over 18.

01:01:00.960 You have to be over 18. 0.96

01:01:02.300 But, I mean, everybody should, everyone should have it.

01:01:05.080 You should have it in your glove box or your purse or on your body or in your backpack, wherever you are.

01:01:26.380 Station ID.

01:01:26.860 Okay, so looking at some of the comments, you know, from the listeners, um, one of them that sticks out is, should we all commit suicide?

01:01:49.760 No, no.

01:01:51.280 I mean, it is an option, a very bad option, um, and not the option.

01:01:56.120 There are good things that are happening, but you, the way our media works, you're not seeing them clearly, okay?

01:02:05.080 And because of the way inflation is and the way our dollar is right now and people go into the store and they feel like, I can't afford this.

01:02:12.560 I know.

01:02:13.800 And so you immediately go, well, that's not working.

01:02:16.420 I want this.

01:02:17.260 That's what's happening with our kids.

01:02:18.820 Capitalism isn't working.

01:02:20.380 I want socialism.

01:02:22.500 You're not going to get it.

01:02:23.760 You're not going to get those, okay?

01:02:25.220 Here's, here's what the world is rebuilding, okay?

01:02:28.500 Because there's architecture that is being built by, in several different ways.

01:02:33.240 Let me start with what Trump is doing.

01:02:35.700 Trump is trying to rebuild the national engine, okay?

01:02:40.140 Whatever you think about Donald Trump, he represents a counter movement to the system that, you know, has dominated the West since the 1990s.

01:02:48.640 So, re-industrialization, he's the first president to do it, and now he's accelerating it.

01:02:55.960 And the idea is really simple.

01:02:57.920 A nation cannot lead if a nation cannot build.

01:03:02.000 We exported everything.

01:03:03.580 So he's trying to bring everything back.

01:03:05.560 Every major power shift in history, from Rome and their roads to Britain's steel to America's assembly line, it was won by nations that could make things.

01:03:16.000 So he's trying to get us to a point to where we can make things again.

01:03:19.360 This is long-term strategy.

01:03:20.560 Then, a strategic decoupling from China.

01:03:24.260 Not isolation, but selective retreat in gradual stages, okay?

01:03:29.940 Every reset in history involves the great powers pulling supply chains back behind their borders to prepare for instability.

01:03:39.000 That's what he's trying to do.

01:03:40.360 Then, return us to a commodities-based leverage.

01:03:44.180 Right now, our dollar is not backed by anything.

01:03:46.780 Our country is not backed by anything, because we don't produce anything.

01:03:50.060 And we were getting off of oil and gas and everything else.

01:03:52.500 So he's trying to get us back onto commodities, oil, gas, you know, rare earth minerals, industrial capacity.

01:04:01.280 This is the quiet beginning of a new, if you will, Bretton Woods, but with energy, not gold as the centerpiece.

01:04:08.160 That's why we weren't at COP30.

01:04:11.760 He's also moving towards a multi-tiered dollar system.

01:04:15.640 One dollar for domestic use, another hard dollar for international trade and commodities.

01:04:21.040 This is how Britain survived its resets.

01:04:23.700 This is how America, he hopes, and I hope, will survive our own collapse.

01:04:28.160 If we succeed, the next system will be nationalist-leaning, commodity-anchored, productivity-based revival.

01:04:38.160 This is what he's hoping on, is that AI, robotics, all of this stuff, energy, it will all be done here in America.

01:04:48.220 And that will grow our GDP, instead of like by 2% or 3%, by 20% a year.

01:04:54.040 Okay?

01:04:54.220 But this is only one faction in a global struggle, because Europe and China and the World Economic Forum have very different visions.

01:05:02.460 And I want to share these with you because they're really important.

01:05:05.280 What Europe is doing is absolutely terrifying to me.

01:05:09.620 They are making a technocratic fortress.

01:05:12.300 They have the same debt cycle we have, and China has, and everybody else.

01:05:17.080 But their answer is not decentralization.

01:05:20.260 It's consolidation.

01:05:21.700 Look at what they're building.

01:05:23.320 They're building a digital identity system, a centralized continent-wide digital passport controlling access to all your finances, healthcare, digital services.

01:05:34.000 They are putting together programmable CBDCs.

01:05:38.240 The European Central Bank is openly discussing money that can expire or be restricted or directed towards approved spending.

01:05:47.640 Okay?

01:05:48.100 Roman emperors tried price controls.

01:05:50.380 It doesn't work.

01:05:51.220 That's what Europe is doing, except digital ones.

01:05:53.840 They also are putting in net-zero enforcement mechanisms, not incentives, mandates, control, carbon quotas, digital tracking, cross-border carbon tariffs.

01:06:05.140 This is not environmental policy.

01:06:08.000 This is the blueprint for a new managed society from the top down.

01:06:13.600 It is a terrifying thing.

01:06:15.260 The consolidation of military and industrial policy.

01:06:18.760 Europe sees war on the horizon.

01:06:20.660 And their solution is a super state that can act without the veto of individual nations.

01:06:28.260 They desire a future that is tightly integrated and centrally administered block.

01:06:34.400 They'll act as one and the people be damned. 0.99

01:06:38.120 Okay?

01:06:39.260 That one's a little terrifying.

01:06:41.520 No thank you.

01:06:42.740 Now, China is doing something entirely different.

01:06:46.140 Their vision is ancient and modern.

01:06:48.380 They're reviving the imperial tribute system, except they're doing it with ports and railways and fiber optics and mineral rights instead of vassal states.

01:06:58.660 They're closer to what we're kind of trying to do.

01:07:02.760 The Belt and Road is not infrastructure.

01:07:05.400 It's a 21st century version of Roman roads or the British telegraph lines that were installed.

01:07:10.660 They're putting together a skeleton, a future geopolitical sphere.

01:07:16.240 They're spreading out.

01:07:18.080 They're putting a dual currency system in.

01:07:21.240 It's going to have really internal control, a hard commodity backed by digital one for international trade.

01:07:28.520 This is what they did a long, long time ago.

01:07:32.380 And then state-directed industrial dominance.

01:07:35.680 What they're doing is building a fascistic society.

01:07:40.640 And it, too, will be a controlled state.

01:07:44.880 One other is left.

01:07:46.020 I'll tell you about that and what to do about it next.

01:07:48.380 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:07:50.840 It's Rough Greens.

01:07:51.680 Every holiday season, we make sure our friends and our family are taken care of.

01:07:55.600 But sometimes we forget about the one creature who's watching every minute of it from two feet off the ground.

01:08:01.780 Our dogs.

01:08:02.660 Our dogs notice everything.

01:08:04.760 The extra treats, the leftovers.

01:08:07.100 Through all of it, they're just hoping that you notice them.

01:08:10.120 One of the easiest ways to do that is by actually supporting their health, not just their appetite.

01:08:15.120 That's where Rough Greens comes in.

01:08:16.760 It's a nutritional boost that you add to their food.

01:08:18.600 Most kibble is cooked at such a high temperature that a lot of the natural nutrients are cooked out.

01:08:27.520 The essential vitamins, minerals, probiotics, all the stuff that's alive, baked out.

01:08:33.420 Rough Greens puts it back in.

01:08:35.180 And the difference that you will see is not subtle.

01:08:37.880 They become more active.

01:08:40.040 Their coat looks healthier.

01:08:41.500 Their digestive system improves.

01:08:44.240 And they just run hard like they used to.

01:08:46.820 When I saw this change in Uno, I knew it was the right thing.

01:08:50.660 I want you to call Rough Greens.

01:09:18.340 That's been a tough year.

01:09:19.600 That's good.

01:09:20.440 That's even a tough one.

01:09:22.120 And I've never done anything again.

01:09:23.540 And I'll definitely try to regulate those things.

01:09:25.040 I've never done anything.

01:09:25.780 I've never done anything yet.

01:09:28.580 All right.

01:09:32.820 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:09:39.440 I'm trying to I'm trying to make sure that you're prepared for what is coming our way.

01:09:46.340 If you look at our national debt and the way our politicians are behaving all over the world, not just ours, it's unreasonable.

01:09:53.660 And there are new systems being built right now, and all of them are tied into either fascism, communism or some sort of authoritarianism, except for the one I think Donald Trump is trying to trying to build.

01:10:11.060 However, even that will be fraught with trouble of an ism if we are not very careful, if we don't know the truth about what's happening.

01:10:21.660 And I took you through what everybody is building.

01:10:24.900 I let me just take you through quickly the other the other possibility that the structure is always built in these cycles.

01:10:32.660 And they've happened several times over in history.

01:10:35.980 When an empire falls, the debt cycle starts in and it always ends the same way.

01:10:41.580 And then it always falls into some rising power and there is no nation state.

01:10:47.920 That's why all of these things are global in nature.

01:10:51.660 Because the World Economic Forum and the global NGOs, they're the other ones.

01:10:56.900 And they they also have a post national vision.

01:11:01.740 This one doesn't have any borders.

01:11:04.340 This doesn't have any elections, but enormous influence over the West elites.

01:11:09.880 And the the vision that is coming from the World Economic Forum is administrative world, not nations, but stakeholder regions, not citizens, but global participants.

01:11:19.560 It's a I mean, it's a continuation, a soft continuation of the medieval church model, you know, where this transnational authority comes above all local sovereignty and certainly above yours.

01:11:32.420 And money is tied to behavior, ESG scores and carbon budgets and social impact credits and all of that.

01:11:39.060 And so freedom is curtailed and it's all controlled by a group of elites.

01:11:43.800 So those are the systems when you say, I don't like this.

01:11:46.960 Well, which one do you like?

01:11:48.680 Because those are the only systems being built right now.

01:11:51.520 And that's why I am a supporter on what Donald Trump is trying to do.

01:11:56.040 And, you know, Elon Musk just came out and he said, A.I. and robotics are the only way to solve the thirty eight trillion dollar in the U.S. debt crisis.

01:12:06.440 He's right. What that is looking for is something new that we can own that will make our economy grow tenfold because we need all of that extra tax revenue to pay down the debt.

01:12:21.960 And if we don't do that, then we get into all kinds of problems with the debt that you don't even want to think about really bad.

01:12:27.980 So that's why Trump is pushing for all of this.

01:12:30.920 But if you lose the House and the Senate or he doesn't get enough of this electricity, these new electricity plants built by the time he gets out of office, it's going to be too late.

01:12:43.960 We have to we have to step up.

01:12:46.240 He has to step up the the pace of of building this these electricity plants that we have, because unfortunately, the problem will be.

01:12:57.980 If A.I. is real, A.I. will take the energy first and it will take it over the people.

01:13:04.260 It'll take it over you and you will be cold and you will be in the dark.

01:13:08.660 And those power plants will be making all that energy for A.I.

01:13:13.080 And that's just the way it will be.

01:13:14.940 So that can't happen.

01:13:18.500 All right.

01:13:19.260 So what do you do to prepare?

01:13:21.840 Because I know Stu's very excited.

01:13:24.820 He's like, well, this is happy news.

01:13:26.780 Yeah, this is I mean, it's exactly what I was looking into for the holiday season.

01:13:31.600 This is what I wanted myself pumped up for Christmas.

01:13:37.000 Right.

01:13:38.240 So do we have can I can I ask you can drill down to a couple of things here?

01:13:43.180 Yeah.

01:13:43.360 Yeah.

01:13:43.500 I have time for this.

01:13:44.880 So.

01:13:45.480 Yeah.

01:13:45.680 OK, so we go through this period where and I agree with you.

01:13:49.800 I don't know what the how we're turning around a debt issue that no one seems to be even

01:13:53.640 interested in turning around, honestly, at least as far as the way we would normally talk

01:13:59.760 about it as far as like restraining spending.

01:14:01.880 That doesn't even seem to be an option anymore.

01:14:04.160 So throwing that out the window for a moment, if you have the the typical ways this ends

01:14:09.600 with the inflation, the default or war, and we want to avoid those.

01:14:15.020 So you talked about Trump having another idea, which is this sort of nationalist production

01:14:23.540 related boom that might be able to shield us from the downturn.

01:14:30.160 Correct.

01:14:30.620 I understand that correctly.

01:14:32.720 Europe is going.

01:14:33.880 Europe is going.

01:14:35.600 No nation state.

01:14:37.940 W.E.F. is going.

01:14:39.060 No nation state.

01:14:40.000 China is going nationalist and the United States is going nationalist, saying, no, there's

01:14:45.920 going to be somebody that is going to, you know, be free and a nation state.

01:14:52.060 China wants to take over the whole world. 0.99

01:14:54.000 The United States would just like to serve the whole world, if you will, but not control

01:14:58.720 the whole world.

01:14:59.300 You'll see him, you know, retracting from all of these wars and everything else and saying,

01:15:06.280 look, you've got to run yourself, but we're going to be a strong nation.

01:15:09.560 We're the only ones doing that.

01:15:11.980 And some of that has a real historical basis in this country, right?

01:15:14.400 Like that was what we did for a long time.

01:15:16.880 So, yes, the one piece of fuel you mentioned that would actually lead to a potentially successful

01:15:27.380 execution of that plan, which is not easy to do, right, is AI.

01:15:32.260 And it shows, you know, you're talking about how Trump has really embraced AI and how he has

01:15:36.220 been able to dive in there and really try to encourage that industry and, you know, blow

01:15:46.320 it up.

01:15:46.600 We need to win that war, is essentially his argument.

01:15:49.300 So how do you square that with, I think, at least my reading of the base, which is they

01:15:57.420 don't really seem to want that.

01:15:59.160 They don't seem to.

01:16:00.040 It's unlike the old school Republican base that would say, new technology, let's get

01:16:04.420 on board.

01:16:05.500 The MAGA base to me strikes me as something different.

01:16:08.900 And I see a lot of resistance.

01:16:11.000 Do you see that same resistance?

01:16:12.180 And how do they how does he walk that line?

01:16:14.460 Yeah.

01:16:14.620 Well, he's not walking it well right now, unfortunately, he's not he's not good at selling

01:16:22.420 it.

01:16:22.800 He needs to sell it.

01:16:24.220 He is in his mind.

01:16:25.760 He's talked to the experts, so he knows.

01:16:27.820 And this is just the way to get us out.

01:16:29.160 And he is right.

01:16:30.240 It may be the only way to get us out.

01:16:34.080 However, he's not addressing the things that his base that I'm concerned about.

01:16:41.000 I don't want to be controlled by an algorithm.

01:16:43.400 Uh, I don't want, uh, super intelligence.

01:16:47.560 Um, I don't want the world to be controlled by all of this.

01:16:51.200 I don't want to be monitored all the time.

01:16:53.180 However, you don't that that doesn't necessarily go with it.

01:16:57.680 If you design it with that in mind, if you design saying, no, you're not going to be bigger

01:17:03.240 than humans, you're not going to humans are first and you are never going to be human.

01:17:08.440 You don't have a soul.

01:17:09.740 They do.

01:17:10.340 That's what makes them special.

01:17:11.700 And you must serve human.

01:17:14.460 Um, if you do that, then I think a lot of the concerns go away with an exception of jobs.

01:17:21.620 But that's why I started today's show with find meaning, even just in the holiday, because

01:17:29.000 jobs are going to change.

01:17:30.780 And, you know, here's, here's, here's part of the solution goes to this.

01:17:36.620 And I know this isn't sexy, but it's absolutely true.

01:17:41.120 Forget about college.

01:17:43.800 There are some that need to go to college.

01:17:47.480 There are many that don't need to go to college.

01:17:51.020 If you need something that has a degree and you must have a degree, brain surgery, got to

01:17:57.100 have a degree teaching, got to have a degree.

01:18:00.220 You want to do things like that?

01:18:01.800 Good.

01:18:02.280 Go to go get a degree.

01:18:03.540 But you know what?

01:18:04.760 You will be wealthier, more stable.

01:18:07.980 You will have the nicest house in the neighborhood if you go to a trade school and you become

01:18:13.040 a plumber or an electrician.

01:18:14.900 And I know it's not sexy because why?

01:18:17.340 Because we've made those jobs ugly for a hundred years.

01:18:21.560 They're not ugly jobs.

01:18:22.700 They're absolutely necessary.

01:18:24.300 And those jobs aren't going anywhere.

01:18:26.760 Being a welder, you build something.

01:18:28.940 You repair something, you know, how you know how to, you know, comfort people and help them

01:18:35.940 in first aid.

01:18:38.220 Those those jobs are really important.

01:18:41.560 Small business skills, being able to connect with neighbors.

01:18:45.980 Those things have real value and nobody is talking about that.

01:18:50.740 Nobody is growing those things.

01:18:52.680 We have to strengthen our human relationships because when this thing comes down, it's not

01:18:58.740 going to come down and it's not going to be beautiful and wonderful and smooth.

01:19:02.160 It's going to be bumpy, very, very bumpy.

01:19:04.560 And you need to be prepared, but you can't prepare by yourself.

01:19:08.740 You know, when Argentina collapsed in 2001, the neighborhood became the lifeline.

01:19:15.520 When the Great Depression happened, it was the civic groups and the churches that kept 0.96

01:19:20.520 families alive.

01:19:22.820 It's the local units that keep everything alive.

01:19:26.660 You need to be as local as possible, strengthen your family, strengthen your your local community

01:19:35.360 as much as possible.

01:19:36.980 Strengthen your relationships with that and then learn how to have a skill that is actually

01:19:42.220 worth something.

01:19:43.680 Because the first thing that happens in this thing is paper burns first.

01:19:50.340 Paper burns first stocks.

01:19:53.280 I mean, look at 1929.

01:19:54.960 If you haven't read the book 1929, you should.

01:19:56.900 It's really, really good.

01:19:58.460 But you'll you'll see the patterns.

01:20:00.880 Stocks go first.

01:20:02.160 Bonds lose their value.

01:20:03.580 Pensions.

01:20:04.240 They become means tested.

01:20:06.560 Currencies are devalued.

01:20:08.560 So what do you have left?

01:20:09.820 Because all that's paper, all of that.

01:20:13.560 Well, I'm not telling you to dump everything, but I am saying that diversity is security.

01:20:19.200 Savings, hard assets.

01:20:22.380 Some sort of reserve.

01:20:24.320 But I got to tell you, useful property, if you can productive property, if you can if you

01:20:30.000 can grow some food for yourself, that's worth a fortune.

01:20:33.700 Do you even know how to grow food?

01:20:34.960 I don't think I could grow food to save my life.

01:20:38.040 Fortunately, I moved to a town surrounded by farmers where I know a bunch of people that

01:20:42.540 can grow food and I got a lot of seed or whatever else you need.

01:20:47.780 Gold is going up through the roof.

01:20:50.800 Silver is going through the roof.

01:20:52.700 And I'm not saying that that's what you put everything in.

01:20:55.820 I'm saying you have insurance and insurance only looks crazy before the accident.

01:21:00.720 Once the accident happens, then everybody's like, you were a genius.

01:21:05.160 Well, yeah, yeah, I had insurance.

01:21:07.400 I saw that this might happen.

01:21:09.000 And so I prepared for it.

01:21:10.320 This is going to happen.

01:21:12.860 But the biggest thing to prepare for is the one that I think nobody sees coming and we're

01:21:20.060 already in it.

01:21:20.800 You're already seeing it, but you're not tying it together.

01:21:23.580 And that is this is the part that most people miss when the system fails.

01:21:29.340 When it breaks, every historic precedent says exactly the same thing that elites will do

01:21:35.460 exactly the same thing.

01:21:37.020 They reach for the scapegoat and that scapegoat is capitalism.

01:21:41.900 They did it in Weimar.

01:21:43.460 They did it in 1929.

01:21:45.380 They did it in 2008 and they will absolutely do it again.

01:21:49.180 And your kids have already been conditioned for this.

01:21:53.560 So, you know, what's coming is not a failure of capitalism.

01:21:58.000 It is the failure of abandoning capitalism because capitalism requires sound money, honest

01:22:05.380 accounting people.

01:22:06.680 When they do wrong, they pay for it.

01:22:08.180 They go to jail if they break the law risk.

01:22:11.720 They're allowed to fail balanced budgets, you know, a market discipline, price discovery,

01:22:17.940 real competition.

01:22:18.780 We haven't had any of that for 40 years.

01:22:21.280 Instead, we've had money printing.

01:22:23.660 We've had bailouts for the politically connected.

01:22:26.140 We've had artificially low interest rates, government engineered bubbles, forced lending

01:22:31.220 the government.

01:22:32.420 Like you have to loan them money so they can buy a house.

01:22:35.320 Crony industries, debt built on debt, built on debt, on debt.

01:22:40.460 I mean, that's not capitalism.

01:22:42.620 That is managed decline dressed up as prosperity.

01:22:46.440 Capitalism did not do this.

01:22:49.600 Politicians did this.

01:22:51.300 Central banks did this.

01:22:53.280 Bureaucrats did this. 1.00

01:22:54.720 All the people that will be in charge of what?

01:22:58.140 A new socialist system.

01:23:01.040 Every time they suspended the rules to save us, they guaranteed a larger crisis later.

01:23:07.180 And so now we're and now we're hitting the money bubble and blaming capitalism for the sins of the central planners is ridiculous. 0.94

01:23:16.080 It's I mean, it's historically illiterate.

01:23:18.300 The last thing you have to prepare spiritually and morally because everything stands on that.

01:23:28.160 When the system crack, craps and cracks and it craps out.

01:23:32.360 The thing that matters is not ammunition or canned goods or gold.

01:23:36.620 It's moral clarity.

01:23:38.740 The sense of right and wrong.

01:23:40.840 The ability to remain human when everything else is shaking.

01:23:44.800 Every collapse in history has produced two kinds of people and only two.

01:23:49.920 Those who become predators and those who rebuilt the civilization.

01:23:57.240 Being prepared preparation is not just physical.

01:24:01.240 It is spiritual.

01:24:02.200 It's choosing right now what kind of person you're going to be on the other side of the storm.

01:24:08.160 That's it.

01:24:10.460 You can't stop this cycle from completing.

01:24:13.180 It's there.

01:24:13.720 It's a wheel that's been set in motion long before any of us were born.

01:24:17.400 But what we can do is what every successful civilization did during the reset.

01:24:23.500 And that is strengthen your family, anchor your values, build local resilience, reject the lie that freedom failed and be ready to build.

01:24:35.320 When the old order finally gives away, rebuild with all of those moral tools that you have, because the truth is this.

01:24:42.620 We are not preparing America for the end of America.

01:24:46.180 We're preparing for the end of a system that lost its discipline, its humility and its honesty.

01:24:52.460 It's truth.

01:24:54.320 The nation, the real America can rise stronger on the other side, but only if people begin to prepare now, because it is coming.

01:25:06.560 Our sponsor this half hour is the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

01:25:11.840 Right now in Israel, there are thousands of Jewish families who are still living in the long shadows of war, homes that have been destroyed, communities shattered, loved ones missing and people trying to rebuild their lives.

01:25:21.660 It's while carrying the trauma that they never asked for.

01:25:24.680 It's a reality most of us never see, but it's the reality they wake up with every single day.

01:25:29.440 The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground now, meeting those in need the way that is real and immediate.

01:25:37.520 Life-giving emergency food and shelter.

01:25:41.000 Please, I want you to go to ifcj.org, ifcj.org and support if you can.

01:25:46.540 Just make a donation right now and lift people up.

01:25:49.480 Step in and help people at 888-488-IFCJ, 888-488-IFCJ or glennforthefellowship.org.

01:25:57.980 A wise man once said, trust in God and always keep watch on the gate.

01:26:05.680 I don't know about you, but that sounds like a solid plan to me.

01:26:10.020 This is Glenn Beck.

01:26:11.620 At Capital One, we're more than just a credit card company.

01:26:30.360 We're people just like you who believe in the power of yes.

01:26:34.360 Yes to new opportunities.

01:26:36.400 Yes to second chances.

01:26:38.460 Yes to a fresh start.

01:26:39.920 That's why we've helped over 4 million Canadians get access to a credit card.

01:26:44.560 Because at Capital One, we say yes, so you don't have to hear another no.

01:26:49.120 What will you do with your yes?

01:26:50.880 Get the yes you've been waiting for at CapitalOne.ca slash yes.

01:26:54.980 Terms and conditions apply.

01:26:57.120 There's a moment that happens every December when you realize you still need a gift for someone that you genuinely care about.

01:27:02.720 And you have absolutely no idea what to get them.

01:27:05.260 And that is when Kexi becomes the hero of the season.

01:27:09.100 Because opening a Kexi box doesn't feel like receiving a package.

01:27:13.100 It feels like someone delivered a small sort of celebration.

01:27:17.580 A party straight to your doorstep.

01:27:19.580 What makes their cookies so good is that they don't taste mass produced.

01:27:22.660 And I will say, like, you know, we go to parties all the time.

01:27:25.420 And you get, people bring cookies.

01:27:27.180 It's a pretty common thing.

01:27:28.880 And they bring cookies and there's a lot of big brands that they bring them from.

01:27:31.680 And every time, you know, of course, it's a cookie.

01:27:34.460 You're going to try it.

01:27:35.720 It doesn't even compare to what you get from Kexi.

01:27:38.440 These people actually care.

01:27:39.840 Of course, you know, probably if you are a fan of the blaze that Pat Gray and his wife, Jackie, are the ones who are kind of the purveyors of this.

01:27:47.580 They did an awesome job.

01:27:48.800 And we were begging them to start this company before they even started it.

01:27:51.560 Because when Pat would bring these cookies in, we would rave about them constantly.

01:27:55.360 They've got the holiday flavors.

01:27:56.880 They've got gingerbread snickerdoodle.

01:27:59.000 Hot cocoa cookie.

01:28:01.240 A candy cane crunch cookie as well.

01:28:03.980 I mean, it's delicious.

01:28:05.380 You're going to love every one of these.

01:28:47.840 Ever catch yourself doing that little, you know, back pain dance?

01:29:04.240 You know, the one you stand up from a chair.

01:29:05.680 You freeze.

01:29:06.160 You shift your weight.

01:29:06.980 You stretch in three different directions.

01:29:08.760 Hope your spine decides to cooperate a little bit.

01:29:11.380 Half the country does that same routine every single day.

01:29:14.220 And that's why Chirp has become such a game changer for so many people, including me.

01:31:04.300 Hello, America.

01:31:10.880 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:31:13.600 I saw the Mangione trial yesterday begin.

01:31:18.760 And I saw the pictures from how people are just making this guy into a god.

01:31:24.720 And then I reflected on that and what happened to ICE last week.

01:31:29.180 And people are saying, well, they deserved it.

01:31:31.280 And I, you know, we need to have a conversation because we're not only writing history, we're also rewriting it at the same time.

01:31:39.580 And there is a, there's a biblical warning about these times.

01:31:44.900 And I'll give that to you here in just a second and give you some perspective on what's really happening in our country.

01:31:49.940 First, let me tell you about real estate agents.

01:31:51.700 I trust.com.

01:31:52.780 This is my company.

01:31:53.700 And when you're buying or selling a home, your friends and neighbors, I mean, I'm sure they have a ton of advice what to do.

01:31:59.960 But the truth is, this is one of the most complicated financial decisions you will ever make.

01:32:04.580 And you need somebody who actually knows what they're doing.

01:32:07.940 That's why I tell you to start with the real estate agents that I trust.

01:32:11.260 It's not some random list or a directory that anybody can buy their way into.

01:32:15.220 We vet every single agent.

01:32:17.480 We look at their track record, their service, their negotiating skills, their character.

01:32:21.080 These are professionals who live and breathe their local market, not part-timers trying to make a quick commission.

01:32:27.980 The right agent can save you tens of thousands of dollars.

01:32:31.020 They know when a house is overpriced, when the offer is too low, how to write a contract that protects you, how to spot a red flag before it becomes expensive mistakes.

01:32:39.820 You don't need to guess your way through this.

01:32:41.680 You just need a great real estate agent.

01:32:44.680 Go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:32:47.520 Let us recommend one to you.

01:32:48.980 It's a free service to you.

01:32:50.440 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:32:53.760 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:32:56.620 So, I don't know if you saw this, but, you know, Luigi Mangione, he arrives at the courthouse yesterday.

01:33:06.260 Now, he's the guy who, you know, I would say was accused of murdering a CEO of UnitedHealthcare.

01:33:14.340 But the video is clear.

01:33:15.900 He murdered the CEO of UnitedHealthcare.

01:33:20.440 A guy who was actually trying to reform things on the inside.

01:33:24.320 Okay.

01:33:26.140 Dozens of fans went to the courthouse just so they could catch a glimpse of this, you know, their hero.

01:33:33.940 And it was grotesque.

01:33:35.840 It was really, really grotesque.

01:33:38.900 Meanwhile, at the same time, if you've noticed, we are villainizing the National Guard.

01:33:50.280 The facts speak for themselves.

01:33:53.600 Let's just look for D.C.

01:33:54.720 Since they were deployed in the District of Columbia, August 11th, there had been 24 homicides compared to last year, same time period, 61 homicides.

01:34:06.840 That means the National Guard being there has have saved 43 lives.

01:34:12.420 And I would bet many of them black lives.

01:34:15.200 So I would like to ask, first of all, do black lives matter? 1.00

01:34:17.820 Why are these guys all of a sudden being vilified?

01:34:23.240 Ice.

01:34:24.600 Same thing.

01:34:26.360 Every single one of us have felt the strain of what's going on.

01:34:29.780 You can't just let 10, 12 million people into our country and then still expect to have a job for you. 1.00

01:34:37.040 Still expect to have space in schools or resources in schools for your kids.

01:34:42.700 The lack of resources in the hospitals, the lack of food in the food banks.

01:34:47.740 Of course, it's happening.

01:34:49.280 You know, you want to know why your housing is so expensive?

01:34:51.800 One reason is you can't move 10 million people in overnight and expect that your rent is not going to become more competitive because there's 10 million other people that want to rent a house.

01:35:05.540 They need apartments, too. 0.90

01:35:10.420 How is it that this is all disconnected from people?

01:35:14.000 Ice is the bad guy.

01:35:16.060 How is ice the bad guy?

01:35:18.520 Unfortunately, I think because of political reasons.

01:35:20.680 But and part of this is because of the Bubba effect.

01:35:25.320 OK, we know the health care system is broken.

01:35:29.160 And so people join this bandwagon.

01:35:32.000 They're like, yeah, well, I don't know anything about that CEO.

01:35:34.820 Oh, but I'm glad somebody stood up and did something about it.

01:35:38.820 Yeah, well, they killed him. 0.54

01:35:40.500 They murdered him in cold blood.

01:35:42.280 And he was not a bad guy.

01:35:43.680 He was a good guy.

01:35:46.920 So part of this is the Bubba effect.

01:35:49.680 The system is broken.

01:35:51.220 But it's more than that as well.

01:35:55.000 These these people, ICE, the National Guard and on the flip side, Mangione, their symbols, their symbols, their symbols of justice or injustice.

01:36:07.640 OK, that's the Bubba effect.

01:36:09.600 But the problem here is, is we're using collectivism to make those symbols.

01:36:15.860 We're not actually even looking for the actual real merit from the individual.

01:36:23.980 It's just the collective act. 0.98

01:36:26.340 Ah, somebody killed them. 0.99

01:36:28.360 Good. 0.95

01:36:29.880 These these people are not they're not symbols.

01:36:32.760 They're people.

01:36:35.860 Woe to those who call good evil and evil good.

01:36:42.140 Yesterday, I saw something online and I'm not going to make any of this about personalities because I am not going to get into a personality fight. 0.92

01:36:51.800 I think it is ridiculous.

01:36:53.960 We should be fighting on principles. 0.52

01:36:56.620 But I saw an interview yesterday talking about Hitler again, trying to make Hitler into the good guy and Winston Churchill into the bad guy.

01:37:03.900 I just don't get it.

01:37:05.520 I really don't get it.

01:37:07.960 History.

01:37:08.800 Real history is not a choose your own adventure kind of thing.

01:37:13.140 It's ink on paper orders in filing cabinets, telegrams, diaries, bodies.

01:37:19.100 It's what actually happened, not what we hope happened.

01:37:24.620 So let me just set the record straight on something, again, that is circulating.

01:37:29.520 And it just somebody just has to calmly just say what the truth is.

01:37:33.960 The thing is now that that Hitler had no intention toward the West, that Britain didn't have to enter the war, that Winston Churchill, not Adolf Hitler, is the villain who dragged the world into conflict.

01:37:51.260 Let me let me just say this calmly, factually and finally.

01:37:56.580 Germany's plans for Poland were not reactive.

01:38:01.940 They were premeditated.

01:38:04.020 The argument says that Britain roped the West into war by promising to defend Poland.

01:38:09.940 No, Germany had already prepared to destroy Poland long before Neville Chamberlain ever made a pledge.

01:38:17.680 How do I know this?

01:38:18.720 Because in my history vault, I have one of the clearest pieces of proof.

01:38:24.700 It's called Fall Weiss.

01:38:27.360 It's Hitler's operational blueprint for the invasion of Poland drafted in 1938, a year before Chamberlain said, we're going to guarantee their safety.

01:38:39.500 So Poland was not a spontaneous reaction. 0.98

01:38:42.600 Hitler was a liar. 0.96

01:38:44.060 I know that's hard to get your hand around, but your arms around. 1.00

01:38:46.500 But Hitler was a liar. 0.97

01:38:47.820 It was not about German minorities. 0.99

01:38:51.020 It was not about self-determination.

01:38:53.580 It was about conquest.

01:38:56.580 A step in Hitler's explicitly stated roadmap. 0.95

01:39:01.540 Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, then the East.

01:39:05.940 Britain didn't pull Germany into war.

01:39:07.620 Germany was already marching toward war, global war.

01:39:12.180 The second thing that has to be said clearly, Hitler didn't have designs on Britain in the West.

01:39:17.820 Oh, really?

01:39:21.420 Well, Hitler wanted peace with Britain. 0.93

01:39:23.080 Really?

01:39:24.040 Because we have the paper trail again.

01:39:26.580 No, no, no.

01:39:27.520 He wanted peace.

01:39:28.400 He had no Western ambitions.

01:39:29.780 Well, how do you explain Operation Sea Lion?

01:39:35.300 Hitler's detailed plan to invade and occupy Great Britain. 0.76

01:39:40.260 You don't drop amphibious landing schedules across the English Channel just in case.

01:39:45.160 And before that, Hitler deployed a different strategy, diplomacy and subterfuge. 0.90

01:39:51.760 In May 1941, the deputy furor, Rudolf Hess, that's a that's a name, flew solo into Scotland, hoping to secure a deal with sympathetic elements in Great Britain.

01:40:07.560 He parachuted down.

01:40:09.480 He claimed he was carrying an offer.

01:40:12.220 Let Hitler dominate Europe and Germany would leave Britain alone. 0.90

01:40:17.840 Well, that sounds really peaceful unless you forget what Hitler meant by dominance. 0.80

01:40:21.980 He meant dismantling sovereign nations, annihilating Jews, the Slavs, the the the gypsies, any political opponent, opponent, millions of human beings. 1.00

01:40:33.980 Just eliminate them. 0.99

01:40:35.080 In what world, in what world could a democratic nation be friends with that? 0.99

01:40:44.340 Britain had internal Nazi sympathizers and Hitler counted on them. 0.91

01:40:49.700 Hess wasn't flying blind.

01:40:51.500 Hitler believed Britain was divided and he was right. 1.00

01:40:54.040 You know why he was right?

01:40:55.300 Again, in my vault, I have it from Hitler's own schedule that was on his assistant's desk the whole time. 0.88

01:41:03.860 Now you have the name and the time that he arrived.

01:41:07.320 Former King Edward.

01:41:09.300 He abdicated in 36.

01:41:11.280 He had clear documented sympathies for the Nazi regime.

01:41:15.780 He met Hitler in 37.

01:41:17.760 I know I have the documents.

01:41:20.600 He was courted as a possible puppet monarch.

01:41:23.560 He said, reinstall me and you can do what you want.

01:41:27.520 I'll help you.

01:41:28.620 The Nazi files recovered after the war show explicit German plans to reinstall him after an occupation.

01:41:35.480 Hitler was not avoiding conflict with Britain. 0.82

01:41:38.140 He was planning its subversion.

01:41:42.240 Well, yeah, but Hitler's ideology, you know, made friendship with the West possible. 0.91

01:41:47.480 What?

01:41:48.000 Even if you pretend not to see the invasion plans and the the Hess mission and the internal sympathizers, even if you erased every map memo and military order.

01:41:59.600 Hitler's ideology made an alliance with the with the Western democracies absolutely impossible. 0.79

01:42:06.080 And I'm going to get to Stalin here in a second.

01:42:09.060 But hear me.

01:42:09.960 Hear me on this.

01:42:11.040 Hitler believed the state was supreme, that the German people existed for the Reich.

01:42:17.620 In America, the Constitution is supreme and it exists to limit the states.

01:42:25.760 Rights come from the Fuhrer and the government in Germany.

01:42:29.060 In America, rights come from God and the government is the servant, not the master.

01:42:35.320 The individual in Germany, expendable. 0.98

01:42:38.460 The West is built on the sanctity of the individual.

01:42:42.260 Racial hierarchy is destiny in Germany. 1.00

01:42:45.360 The West at its best rejects racial supremacy.

01:42:50.480 The declaration starts with all men are created equal, not some races are destined to rule.

01:42:57.320 There are nowhere in our documents to say the state must expand endlessly.

01:43:02.200 That's not compatible with anything, anything.

01:43:06.720 You cannot align with a regime whose foundational premise is that human dignity is a myth.

01:43:12.880 Well, the West chose Stalin because we thought he was better.

01:43:21.020 Now, no, we chose survival.

01:43:24.780 People are arguing now that the allies should have sided with Hitler instead of Stalin.

01:43:29.580 No rational reading of history supports any of that. 0.95

01:43:33.320 Hitler and Stalin were both monstrous, monstrous. 0.51

01:43:40.060 And the Ribbentrop pack proved that they were natural partners in evil, carving up Poland like a holiday roast. 0.99

01:43:47.380 Okay.

01:43:48.000 But here's the brutal truth.

01:43:49.400 Once Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa, is that what it's called, Stu?

01:43:55.740 You know.

01:43:57.540 Barbarossa, right?

01:43:58.980 When he turned east.

01:44:01.380 Barbarossa.

01:44:02.180 When they turned to Russia, the question for us was no longer, hey, which dictator is better?

01:44:09.500 The question was, which outcome prevents Hitler from ruling all of Europe? 0.95

01:44:15.960 Because if Hitler defeated the Soviet Union, the resources of the east, all the oil, all the grain, all the industry, all the manpower would have made the Third Reich unstoppable. 0.94

01:44:25.960 So the choice was between two horrors.

01:44:28.680 Which one?

01:44:29.960 Or do you want to stay out and let them have all of that power?

01:44:34.640 Well, yeah.

01:44:35.240 Nowhere was he an aggressor.

01:44:36.520 Only one, Hitler, had a trajectory of global domination at that time.

01:44:46.160 Also, racial extermination and total state worship that could not coexist with Western civilization. 0.58

01:44:53.140 We knew at the time Stalin was just as bad. 0.57

01:44:56.760 We knew we were going to be in war with Stalin at some point.

01:45:01.420 And you know who really knew that?

01:45:03.520 Winston Churchill.

01:45:04.600 He was the one saying, we can't have this guy as an ally.

01:45:11.280 Britain did not drag the world into war.

01:45:14.740 Hitler did. 0.95

01:45:17.260 And so let's go back to the central point.

01:45:20.140 Churchill did not force a war.

01:45:22.740 Chamberlain didn't conjure up a conflict out of thin air.

01:45:26.040 The West didn't provoke Hitler.

01:45:28.820 Hitler provoked history. 0.86

01:45:30.500 He's the one who built the camps.

01:45:33.000 And if you want to say you don't believe in the camps, God help us all.

01:45:36.940 He's the one who wrote Mein Kampf.

01:45:38.860 He's the one who armed in secret.

01:45:40.980 He invaded without cause.

01:45:43.180 He sought domination, not coexistence.

01:45:46.720 He's to suggest otherwise.

01:45:49.320 I mean, what is your intent to rehabilitate him?

01:45:53.980 Hitler? 0.62

01:45:54.500 I mean, you're repeating the arguments Hitler made to excuse his aggression. 0.82

01:46:03.320 This is not about defending Churchill, who I think is a hero.

01:46:06.540 But it's about defending the record, the truth.

01:46:12.780 So in our moment of confusion and upheaval and ideological extremism, we don't lose our footing on the bedrock of fact.

01:46:21.780 This is the dangerous door we must not reopen.

01:46:25.580 When we begin to question whether the West should have resisted Hitler, where are we going?

01:46:34.620 When we entertain the idea that freedom and tyranny could have coexisted, you're not just rearranging interpretations.

01:46:42.620 You're reopening a door millions died to close.

01:46:47.980 History is not there to flatter us.

01:46:50.220 Did the United States do bad things in World War II?

01:46:52.820 Yeah.

01:46:53.700 Did England?

01:46:54.380 Yep.

01:46:56.120 Were we perfect?

01:46:57.300 Nope.

01:46:58.400 Did we do the best we could?

01:47:00.600 Yes.

01:47:02.560 You know, sometimes, sometimes your only choice is between bad and worse.

01:47:09.300 You cannot allow somebody like Hitler just to continue to grow and grow and grow and gobble the resources and then take over the Soviet Union. 0.91

01:47:19.300 And then what?

01:47:20.380 Have all of those resources to take the rest of the world?

01:47:24.380 My God.

01:47:25.500 My God.

01:47:26.120 So.

01:47:29.260 Sorry.

01:47:30.160 I want to just keep this about facts.

01:47:32.000 History is there to warn us.

01:47:34.260 And the warning is really, really simple.

01:47:36.420 Be very careful when someone tells you the villain wasn't really the villain.

01:47:44.040 Woe unto him who makes evil good and good evil.

01:47:50.380 We know who the villains were.

01:47:52.500 We know who the villains were.

01:47:53.500 The documentation is very clear.

01:47:57.080 Trust me.

01:47:57.940 I have a vault full of it.

01:48:01.760 You want to see it?

01:48:03.660 Come.

01:48:04.800 Otherwise, you're just full of it.

01:48:07.440 When you have somebody telling you the villain is not the villain, that story never ends well.

01:48:18.540 Fix reason firmly in her seat. 0.99

01:48:21.680 Back in a minute.

01:48:29.800 Preborn.

01:48:30.980 Every Christmas, we talk about the power of saying yes to hope and to faith and to a future you can't fully see yet.

01:48:38.860 But right now, there are women all over the country this morning that are facing a moment where that yes feels impossible.

01:48:45.080 It's an unplanned pregnancy and it doesn't wait for the right timing.

01:48:48.780 It doesn't care that it's the holidays.

01:48:50.560 Many of these women are walking in terrified, confused, convinced they are completely alone. 0.99

01:48:55.040 And some of them are.

01:50:09.380 Welcome, Stu.

01:50:24.900 Sorry, I'm just trying to catch my emotions.

01:50:29.020 Yeah.

01:50:29.480 Keep them in check.

01:50:31.520 Well, you're talking.

01:50:32.020 I get so frustrated.

01:50:33.120 I know when you're talking to Nazis, it's really, it's really hard.

01:50:37.180 I mean, it's so clear, you know, it's just, it's really, really clear.

01:50:41.720 It's, it's not like even close.

01:50:43.020 It's not like, well, I don't know.

01:50:44.240 I can see how you see it.

01:50:45.320 No, I can't see how you see it that way.

01:50:47.180 I can't.

01:50:47.980 I mean, unless you take all of the documentation and burn it, I mean, I'm standing there and

01:50:54.240 I'm hearing that, you know, well, you know, it wasn't inevitable that he was going to go

01:50:57.660 into Poland.

01:50:58.340 Yes, I'm, I have the documents.

01:51:01.560 I have, I have the whole invasion plan.

01:51:04.580 It's in a book.

01:51:05.400 When I first got it in auction, I couldn't believe it.

01:51:08.380 I'm like, you're kidding me.

01:51:09.940 I mean, it still exists.

01:51:12.120 It's all the documents that only went to the very highest in the Nazi regime that showed

01:51:17.040 that everything Hitler was saying to the West was a lie.

01:51:21.000 What a surprise. 1.00

01:51:22.900 Hitler was a liar. 1.00

01:51:26.620 Huh? 1.00

01:51:29.960 Sorry.

01:51:31.060 Just, you didn't help wind me down.

01:51:32.500 I just got more.

01:51:33.240 I'm going to take a break and take a breath back in a minute.

01:51:38.540 This is Glenn Beck.

01:51:42.120 All right.

01:51:43.640 Let me tell you about legacy box.

01:51:44.920 Every family has that one box full of old tapes and camcorder footage, photo slides,

01:51:49.700 film reels that are just sitting there aging.

01:51:52.380 We're still unpacking for the house.

01:51:54.160 And, uh, I opened up a box over the weekend and it was just full of negatives, old negatives.

01:52:00.900 Got to be from my childhood.

01:52:03.120 No idea what's on.

01:52:04.160 I'm going to put them in a legacy box and have them, you know, can you just digitize all

01:52:08.260 of these so I can see what these memories are?

01:52:10.140 I'm nobody's seen him in my family for probably 50 years.

01:52:13.740 All you do with legacy boxes, you send in the tapes or the photos, whatever you have

01:52:17.720 and you send them and they send back your family's history, organized, preserved and

01:52:22.540 ready to watch on any device.

01:52:24.300 No more worrying about the time and the heat or accidents destroying.

01:52:27.120 The only copy you have, you have a copy on a thumb drive or a DVD or up in the cloud

01:52:32.720 or all of them.

01:52:33.800 You know, there's nothing like seeing the old footage or hearing a voice that you haven't

01:52:37.640 heard in years.

01:52:38.460 Watching a Christmas morning, you forgot you even recorded legacy box, the best sale of

01:53:04.820 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:53:32.100 We're glad that you're here.

01:53:33.120 Thank you so much.

01:53:33.860 Uh, there's a couple of stories here that I think, uh, require a little bit of time

01:53:38.680 here, um, going over.

01:53:40.200 First of all, the New York times, the New York times has refuted the WAPO reporting on the

01:53:45.940 Hegseth story.

01:53:46.920 Now, if you remember the Hegseth story from the Washington post is, um, was playing backup

01:53:56.140 to people like Mark Kelly, who, you know, were part of that, you know, video where like,

01:54:01.660 God, you know, there's war crimes and you're going to be tried for war crimes.

01:54:05.040 And if you see a war crime in a legal order, you should disobey it.

01:54:09.500 Okay.

01:54:10.000 Well, yeah, they're taught that.

01:54:11.880 And everybody should know that.

01:54:13.300 And you know, again, the Pentagon teaches that to the soldiers, this has never been done

01:54:19.640 by members of Congress and they were going for something.

01:54:23.100 I don't know what they were going for, but WAPO, of course, um, you know, sends the message

01:54:28.720 to the rest of the world that, well, it was our, uh, secretary Hegseth who ordered the

01:54:36.140 killing of some people that survived, uh, this, uh, launch on a boat and they survived. 0.98

01:54:42.940 And then Pete called them up and said, kill them. 0.99

01:54:46.520 And that's what Mark Kelly was saying this last weekend. 0.99

01:54:50.580 Okay.

01:54:51.360 Washington post.

01:54:52.100 Now the New York times, not exactly a Trumpy kind of paper comes out and says, no, we actually

01:55:01.760 have five sources on this.

01:55:03.880 That's not true.

01:55:05.100 That's not what happened.

01:55:07.260 White house responded yesterday and they said, yeah, it was the commander that made that call.

01:55:12.440 It was all within the law, yada, yada.

01:55:14.540 So it wasn't Hegseth.

01:55:17.760 Whew.

01:55:18.980 Then you have Mark Kelly coming on and saying some more things.

01:55:24.060 This one is about the Franklin meme, you know, Franklin, the, the, the turtle, the kid's

01:55:30.800 book about the turtle.

01:55:32.420 Apparently Hegseth retweeted or tweeted a picture of, you know, like Franklin magazine

01:55:38.080 and he's, you know, up on an American chopper and he's firing down on, you know, drug runners

01:55:44.140 in a boat.

01:55:44.800 And this causes Mark Kelly to say this possible mission. 0.93

01:55:49.780 And instead he runs around on a stage, like he's a 12 year old playing army and it is ridiculous. 0.97

01:55:59.080 It is embarrassing. 0.90

01:56:00.400 And I, I can't imagine what our allies think.

01:56:05.400 Of looking at that guy in this job, one of the most important jobs in our country.

01:56:13.000 In my view, after the president of the United States, it is the next most important job.

01:56:19.920 He is in the national command authority for nuclear weapons.

01:56:23.700 And last night he's putting out on the internet turtles with rocket propelled grenades killing.

01:56:33.380 I mean, have you seen this?

01:56:34.460 Oh, it's outrageous.

01:56:37.840 Let me ask you, where were you on, um, the leadership of the Pentagon when they pulled out of Afghanistan?

01:56:46.560 Were you saying, what are our allies thinking about that?

01:56:52.180 How about when, uh, what's his face, uh, decided to go get, what was it?

01:56:58.900 Surgery was out on surgery.

01:57:00.920 Didn't alert anyone that he was, uh, what was his name?

01:57:04.240 Lloyd Austin.

01:57:04.740 Right.

01:57:05.520 And he's out on surgery and he doesn't tell anybody.

01:57:08.040 Then he goes on vacation.

01:57:09.400 Something happens and they call him.

01:57:10.840 They're like, where are you?

01:57:11.600 And he's like, I'll come back when I come back.

01:57:13.400 Wait, hold it.

01:57:14.380 You want to talk about being in line with the nuclear weapons? 0.70

01:57:16.560 What the hell?

01:57:17.260 Where was that one?

01:57:18.960 More importantly, Mr. Kelly, let me ask you, what do you think our allies thought about

01:57:29.160 the health of our nation when several democratic senators got together and for the first time

01:57:36.100 in American history, pulled a Venezuela and questioned the military and said, we will hold you responsible

01:57:47.040 for any crimes against humanity.

01:57:50.160 By the way, we're not telling you what those are.

01:57:52.280 We'll judge when we get back into power and don't listen to the commander in chief.

01:57:56.960 Let me ask you if people, uh, if people in the Duma would have made that exact same, um, uh,

01:58:07.620 video and said, question the authority of Putin.

01:58:13.480 And if he's telling you to go into Ukraine, that's going to be a war crime and we're going 0.97

01:58:19.740 to prosecute you and, uh, and don't listen to them and don't listen to his secretary of war either.

01:58:29.340 What do you think?

01:58:30.420 How would we analyze that?

01:58:33.520 Would we think that Putin was strong?

01:58:39.080 Would we think that their society is strong?

01:58:41.900 Would we think that they're a nation that, uh, can defend itself, will defend itself,

01:58:49.020 is willing to go to war?

01:58:51.620 Does that, would, would we look at that and go, that's a strong nation?

01:58:55.840 Don't screw with them.

01:58:57.120 Or if we had designs on that nation, would we say, you know what?

01:59:02.220 Up the pressure, up the pressure because this thing's about to fly apart.

01:59:07.240 So, Mr. Kelly, let me ask you that.

01:59:09.920 Did you think about what our allies might have been saying when you made the video and released

01:59:17.220 it to the world?

01:59:22.300 Bueller?

01:59:24.740 Anybody?

01:59:26.660 Anybody?

01:59:29.620 That's the outrage here.

01:59:31.380 The outrage is not that they said it.

01:59:34.100 You can go to the Pentagon and say that.

01:59:35.620 You can go bring the Joint Chiefs of Staff in and you call them on the carpet and say,

01:59:40.700 look, I got to tell you something.

01:59:41.780 We're going to be investigating this if we get control.

01:59:44.220 But you bring them into a private room and you say that with all your like-minded senators

01:59:49.880 in a private room.

01:59:51.480 You don't make a video and release it to the world.

01:59:58.840 I'll never forget.

02:00:02.740 George Bush called me into the Oval Office.

02:00:06.620 And he was a little upset.

02:00:11.560 And I had said, you know, you want to impeach the guy, you impeach him on this.

02:00:16.340 Look what he's doing in the Middle East. 0.94

02:00:18.260 Look what he's doing.

02:00:19.820 And I don't remember what it was.

02:00:21.120 But I said, that is the stuff that at least, if it's true, is impeachable.

02:00:25.520 That day I get a call and Mr. Beck, the president would like to see you in the Oval tomorrow.

02:00:33.820 I go in and I knew this was going to be the longest hour of my life.

02:00:37.920 And I sit down in the, honest to God, it was in the Zelensky chair.

02:00:45.820 Okay.

02:00:46.880 And I got, I got from George Bush what Zelensky got from Trump.

02:00:51.920 And he starts out with, a lot of people think they know what it's like to be the president.

02:00:55.320 You don't have no effing idea what it's like.

02:00:57.460 And he just, and I was like, oh my gosh, this is going to be very, very long and agonizing.

02:01:02.080 And we get about a half hour into all of this stuff.

02:01:07.000 And he's telling me what's actually going on on the ground.

02:01:10.320 And he knows it all.

02:01:11.960 And he's, he's not hesitating.

02:01:14.120 He's not like, and let me search for a word here.

02:01:17.700 None of that.

02:01:19.100 And I screw my courage to the sticking place and say, excuse me, Mr. President.

02:01:26.620 This is the president that America needs to see.

02:01:30.160 This is the guy.

02:01:31.840 Why don't you say these things to the American public?

02:01:36.080 And he goes off on another tirade.

02:01:37.800 And he tells me about how he has made deals with the Pentagon.

02:01:41.080 He's made deals with the military.

02:01:42.900 He's made deals.

02:01:44.020 He also has all of the eyes.

02:01:46.540 Listen to this.

02:01:47.140 All of the eyes of all of the leaders of the world, including all of their intelligence officials.

02:01:53.220 And they watch everything that every major official says in the United States,

02:01:58.840 especially the president and whatever the president says, they analyze.

02:02:03.360 He said, I look my, I shift my eyes at the wrong time.

02:02:08.140 They think, well, that means he's not saying this.

02:02:10.900 What he's actually saying is this.

02:02:12.560 He's like, I'm, I'm juggling so many things in my head that I can't say or can't do because of X, Y, or Z.

02:02:21.900 And he said, that's the job of the president.

02:02:25.720 Now, whether you agree with that or not, doesn't matter.

02:02:29.260 The reason why I tell you that story is.

02:02:31.280 Mark Kelly, did you even consider what five eyes might be saying about that video, what China, how they might be analyzing that video, how Russia is analyzing that video, how that affects our national stability in this country.

02:02:54.080 Screw you're trying to, in my opinion, start a color revolution.

02:02:58.640 Screw that.

02:02:59.280 Let's just talk about how does this make us stronger with national defense.

02:03:05.780 You call people into a private room and say that like has always been done in the United States of America.

02:03:14.020 What you did has never been done in the United States.

02:03:18.400 Not at the time of the Civil War, even never has this been done.

02:03:23.760 Why?

02:03:24.280 Because people respected the Republic.

02:03:27.220 They respected the military.

02:03:30.020 They respected the fact that their voice would be heard by foreigners and foreign nations, many of them adversaries.

02:03:40.400 And so they showed just a modicum of restraint that you, sir, couldn't find.

02:03:50.440 So please don't preach to me about how embarrassing it is that he's putting a cartoon out.

02:03:58.740 Yeah, I'd rather have my secretary of war not put cartoons out.

02:04:04.040 But unfortunately, that's the way of the world now, isn't it? 0.99

02:04:06.880 I mean, you know, you can only get attention by people with people with doing stupid memes. 0.98

02:04:11.800 Because you didn't need a meme. 0.99

02:04:17.760 You didn't need a video.

02:04:20.480 You needed all of you to get together and say, we'd like the Joint Chiefs to meet us at the Capitol.

02:04:27.660 Because they also answer to us.

02:04:30.460 And we have a few things to say to them.

02:04:32.920 And then you say it to them privately.

02:04:34.980 And you make it very, very clear.

02:04:38.240 That's what you should have done.

02:04:41.520 I mean, unless you're trying to collapse the United States, make our enemies stronger,

02:04:46.640 and foment a color revolution, which I'm sure you're...

02:04:50.300 What? Color revolution? I don't even know what that is.

02:04:52.340 Back in just a second, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

02:04:55.220 Most people don't realize their cell phone bill, one of the biggest monthly expenses,

02:04:59.700 is quietly funding companies that work against their values.

02:05:03.140 You're paying for coverage.

02:05:04.740 And yet, you're also paying for activism that you don't agree with.

02:05:08.780 This is why Patriot Mobile exists.

02:05:11.460 They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

02:05:14.860 And they give you the same great nationwide coverage on the same towers that you're already using

02:05:19.800 without sending your money to causes that undermine your beliefs.

02:05:23.940 It's premium service without the compromise.

02:05:26.800 And during the holiday season, when finances are tight and every dollar matters,

02:05:30.000 they make it easy to switch.

02:05:31.800 You can keep your number, keep your phone, or upgrade.

02:05:34.200 And you get a U.S.-based customer service team that actually cares about getting you set up quickly.

02:05:38.820 This year, you should get better service.

02:05:41.040 You should spend less.

02:05:41.900 And you should support the values that you hold dear.

02:06:59.200 Each of them rooted in a defining moment or a defining person in history.

02:07:04.020 They're not just products.

02:07:07.140 They're reminders of who we are and what we stand for.

02:07:09.780 And you can get all of those at Glenn Beck.com.

02:07:11.960 Also, may I recommend The Immortal Nicholas?

02:07:15.160 It is my favorite book.

02:07:16.580 My favorite story.

02:07:17.520 I worked years on this story to tell it.

02:07:20.100 And I tried to tell a story that would put Santa in the right place and have him be a pointer to Christ.

02:07:35.500 And it's a story that I would write and then I would read to my kids when they were younger.

02:07:40.680 And they'd tell me, you know, I like that.

02:07:42.080 I like that.

02:07:42.440 And then I'd change it.

02:07:43.140 And then I'd rewrite it.

02:07:43.940 And I'd give it to them and read it to them when they were very, very young.

02:07:47.020 And it's my favorite story.

02:07:49.540 And it's perfect to read to your family at Christmas.

02:07:53.160 It is a very, very different Christmas story.

02:07:57.260 But I think you'll enjoy it.

02:07:59.480 It's The Immortal Nicholas.

02:08:00.680 You can get it wherever books are sold.

02:08:02.460 Also, today is giving Tuesday.

02:08:05.000 And so if you can, we have a goal at Mercury One of raising $300,000 today.

02:08:12.300 We're about halfway there, just under halfway there.

02:08:15.120 We would really like your help today at MercuryOne.org.

02:08:18.640 We do not usually raise money, you know, in big chunks.

02:08:22.980 We get it $5, $10 at a time.

02:08:25.280 We have the greatest audience, you, in the country.

02:08:28.620 And you know the work that we do.

02:08:30.320 And this is essential for Mercury One and the work that we will do in 2026 when there is a real problem.

02:08:36.080 This gives us the ability to get our people on the ground with foodstuff or emergency supplies wherever they need to go.

02:08:44.200 You can make a special tax-deductible Giving Tuesday gift.

02:08:47.520 Visit MercuryOne.org.

02:08:49.400 Do that today if you can.

02:08:51.180 Tax-deductible MercuryOne.org.

02:08:53.940 Tonight, I'm going to be at Mar-a-Lago for PragerU.

02:08:59.460 I'm going to be on stage speaking, helping them raise money at Mar-a-Lago.

02:09:03.800 Then tomorrow, the American Journey Experience has some really cool announcements to make.

02:09:08.900 And I'm premiering George AI tomorrow at Mar-a-Lago.

02:09:13.140 And then on Saturday, I'll be at Mar-a-Lago for TPUSA, just trying to help raise money for really great causes.

02:09:23.360 And hope to see you there if you're there.

02:09:26.300 If not, I hope that you will find the thing that you are passionate about, the people that you feel are making a difference.

02:09:32.840 And as you come up to your end-of-year giving, you know, if it's $5 or $5 million, whatever it is, if you would find something that you're passionate about, something that you feel really does make a difference, you know where the money is going and you believe in that cause, please give it.

02:09:51.540 Because it is hard.

02:09:52.980 It's getting harder and harder every day to raise money because people are feeling the pinch more and more every day.

02:09:59.080 Okay, Stu, is there anything that we missed?

02:10:04.160 Well, no, maybe just we should remind people the last time we get a chance to, if you happen to be in Tennessee, if you're in Nashville, big election today.

02:10:13.940 It seems like Republicans are going to win, I know, but don't take it for granted.

02:10:18.020 The latest polling is way too close for comfort.

02:10:21.380 It's within two points.

02:10:23.040 That's a 22-point spread.

02:10:24.780 And believe me, you have a Democratic Socialist on the ticket.

02:10:27.820 They're motivated to vote.

02:10:30.640 Please get out and vote.

02:10:32.720 If you're in the Nashville area, get out and vote today.

02:10:37.740 Stop everything else you're doing.

02:10:39.480 This is the most important thing you can do today.

02:10:42.040 This is Glenn Beck.
