On this episode of The Glenn Beck Program, host Glenn Beck talks about the United Healthcare CEO who was shot and killed by his own son and daughter-in-law, and the people who are making him into Robin Hood or some sort of sex god.
00:29:45.300You know, and I will say one of the things that was most frustrating to me about hearing the fallout of this—you guys probably saw some of his manifesto that he wrote.
00:29:55.660I don't want to go into too much of it.
00:29:57.280But, like, there's some version of this in my head when it happened where you have this person—and this is what the left kind of has of this guy.
00:30:04.820Like, this guy who's, you know, he studied and he worked and he looked at the health care system and he fought it.
00:30:11.680And they denied his claims and he couldn't stand it anymore.
00:30:15.700And he stood up and he took a stand for the people.
00:30:19.940In day one of health care argument school is the point, did you know that we pay the most in health insurance and we're only 42nd in life expectancy?
00:30:35.500It is, like, the most basic argument in the argument.
00:30:40.580It's the first thing you see when you walk through the college of health care arguing school.
00:33:35.820It's not like he couldn't afford health care.
00:33:37.940And we all know he apparently had some kind of chronic back pain or something, and that drove him to kill.
00:33:43.960Pat, you don't understand the amount of people I've murdered over the years because of my back pain.
00:33:49.260When I first met Pat in 1989, no, 1988 maybe, we first met, the first year, Pat had to do his part of the show from his bed for, what, three months?
00:34:02.020Yeah, it was about—yeah, two, three months.
00:35:29.060This guy was won over by really dumb left-wing health care arguments that—and what—and these are—this is a guy who follows AOC on Twitter.
00:37:30.040And I have a problem with healthcare companies, but I'm not going to go shoot anybody, even if I had the most extreme.
00:37:38.460I would then, if I couldn't get healthcare, demand that the United States government reform its laws so there could be competition against bad healthcare companies.
00:38:29.960You're going to see results in minutes, and they get better every single day.
00:38:32.760Just in time for Christmas and the holiday season, save over 70% on GenuCell's complete skincare package featuring the jawline treatment and GenuCell's immediate effects.
00:38:41.720You'll even get GenuCell XV wrinkled treatment included for Christmas.
00:49:22.200So I hope that you all feel that sense of, you know, peace and light and that just for a moment when you leave here today that you feel, I don't know, a little, a sense of joy.
00:49:36.200Because I think we all need like this, you know, we all need to feel joy now during this time of the season during just during this time.
00:50:21.240Because I think we all need like this, you know, we all need to feel joy now during this, this time of the season during just during this time.
00:51:52.620If, if that's happening naturally, that would have easily been, if she didn't even think of that connection, you would have immediately looked at the crowd.
00:52:03.460Your eyes would have darted back and forth.
01:03:26.520Okay, so yesterday, Republican Representative Jeff Van Drew told Fox News this about the drones in New Jersey.
01:03:38.340You know, I'm also on the transportation committee, on the aviation subcommittee, and I've gotten to know people.
01:03:44.640And from very high sources, very qualified sources, very responsible sources, I'm going to tell you the real deal.
01:03:52.380Iran launched a mothership, probably about a month ago, that contains these drones, that mothership is off, I'm going to tell you the deal.
01:04:02.500It's off the east coast of the United States of America.
01:06:47.700American Giant was created 13 years ago just to save one clothing factory in North Carolina so the jobs could be saved, the employees could continue to work, and the town didn't dry up.
01:07:00.360All of these towns that have good people in it, that they used to make American things.
01:07:05.840One of the reasons, one of the only reasons why I'm for tariffs is because if he can lower the taxes dramatically, especially on companies, and raise these tariffs, these companies are going to move back into these factories in these towns like nobody's business.
01:07:24.020And that makes a lot of sense for America.
01:07:27.620Spending your money where it really matters makes a difference.
01:08:54.080I saw Brian on, I think it was X yesterday.
01:08:58.000He's a New Jersey assemblyman that drove a couple of hours for this meeting with, you know, the DHS and, you know, the FAA and everybody that should know what the heck is going on with these drones.
01:09:31.640We being all 120 members of the state legislature of New Jersey, the assembly and the Senate got invited to come down to this special legislator only briefing down in the state police headquarters.
01:09:44.240And the state police was there and the Department of Homeland Security was there.
01:09:47.340And they were supposed to tell us what's going on.
01:10:09.540And then the first thing that they say is this is not a classified briefing, and in fact, we could have probably let the press in.
01:10:16.300And then they just went on and said that they know nothing, and they have no understanding what's going on.
01:10:23.060They don't know where they're coming from, where they're going to, or who's responsible for it.
01:10:27.640And so I was just pissed that we're there to listen to such a Bush League amateur hour presentation that they could have given us by a text message.
01:10:37.860And what really got me upset was the primary reason why I left early was two things.
01:10:44.960The colonel of the state police said that he had a helicopter of his hovering directly above one of these drones, which you call the six-foot drone.
01:10:53.920But he felt unsafe for his pilots and had them land.
01:10:57.520Ten minutes later, he says, hey, it'd be really nice to know where these things are coming from or they're going to.
01:11:02.240And I'm like, well, why did you follow the freaking thing when you had it in your sights?
01:11:37.160You know, you want to get a standoff distance and follow it, you know, so you can use your systems to track it.
01:11:43.220And it was just, yes, I'm speaking from some level of experience here.
01:11:46.760But more importantly, it was just common sense.
01:11:49.740You have this thing in your sights that you know is potentially a threat because we don't know where it's coming from, where it's going to, where it's controlling it.
01:12:06.220And the second thing that they said that really sent me through the moon was the Department of Homeland Security has some device that they're going to give to the state police that will help them identify drones in the sky.
01:12:18.780And it's supposed to be pretty cool technology.
01:12:21.160It filters out birds and stuff like that.
01:12:50.340So let me run a couple of things by you.
01:12:54.500First, somebody came out, you know, a congressman came out yesterday and said, I've got it on good authority that it's Iran and they got a ship off.
01:13:02.480If that were true, would we not have followed these things back to the ship?
01:13:09.600Why aren't we – if they're going back over the water and they're not ours, why wouldn't we be blowing them up over the water?
01:13:54.440I find that to be pretty unusual that that would happen.
01:13:57.540So the next thing is, if we couldn't track these things – I've been in the New Jersey and New York area.
01:14:07.200There's a lot of airplanes in the sky.
01:14:10.000And if you can't track these and you don't know where they are, you would ground all of the planes because you don't know if they're hostile to planes.
01:14:22.920You don't know if one of them just gets into the flight path of another.
01:14:27.720There are planes everywhere in the sky.
01:14:30.860So, again, that leads me to believe you can track these and you know where they're coming from.
01:15:26.860But what we do need to do is common sense.
01:15:30.300It just needs to be an all-hands-on-deck approach.
01:15:33.540The state police, the National Guard, which can be mobilized by the governor, the Department of Homeland Security, and they need to follow one of these suckers to wherever it goes, and let's figure out who's responsible.
01:16:22.740You know, the FBI is an amazing organization that takes down people all the time before they do all kinds of crazy stuff.
01:16:31.180You know, they have a litany of successes that they can point to of stopping things before they happen because of their counterterrorism efforts and their intelligence efforts.
01:16:39.700Why the hell they can't find anybody responsible for this or pick up any chatters crazy?
01:16:44.340Okay, so let me give you my theory, and please, if you think it's nonsense, shoot it full of holes.
01:16:51.540My uncle used to be in military intelligence back in the 60s and 70s, and he did all of the nuclear stuff.
01:17:01.980And when the stealth B-1 bomber came out, the wing, he said, old technology.
01:17:16.840And he's like, that's been available for a while.
01:17:21.360They'll announce it to the country, and they'll fly it around, and then people will speculate, and then they'll say, oh, yeah, we have a B-1 bomber.
01:17:29.740I think a good chance is we are sending someone a message, or we're doing something with the—I mean, Russia just launched, you know, a hypersonic missile.
01:17:46.000It doesn't make sense that our government doesn't know what this is and can't stop it and doesn't see it as a danger.
01:17:53.200What makes sense is they're lying to us.
01:17:56.620They know what this is, and it's not extraterrestrial, and it's not any of that crap.
01:18:03.260Yeah, well, so I don't disagree with the premise that you have here.
01:18:07.520One of the things that I will say is unique to this area and where all this is happening is we have a military installation called Picatinny Arsenal, and it's very important to Picatinny Arsenal that there's good community relations because, you know, we want to maintain that here, and it's a huge resource for the Army where it's at.
01:18:26.020Any uncertainty about what's going on military-wise around here is bad for them and bad for the future of Picatinny.
01:18:33.900So they have an incentive to over-communicate when things are happening, and they often do that when they're doing testing.
01:18:41.780So in this area here, it's probably unlikely that there would be anything that the government would want to do that would cause, you know, public concern.
01:18:50.300So then what is your—what are you left with that makes sense to you the most?
01:18:55.520You know, to be honest, I'm not left with much.
01:18:59.420The only thing—before I went to this briefing, I would have told you it's FedEx or UPS or Amazon testing out delivery capabilities of aircraft, you know, and they want to do it at night so as not to freak people out.
01:19:14.480But then, you know, by this point, it's blown up so high, you would think somebody would say something.
01:19:20.280They would say, oh, yeah, hey, it's us.
01:28:14.400But even dumb criminals don't want to get caught, and they're often going to avoid the house that has a sign on the lawn for some home security company.
01:28:22.280That goes double if the sign in question says the house is protected by SimpliSafe.
01:28:27.900That one not only stops the dumb criminals, but it stops the smart criminals as well, because they've done their homework.
01:28:36.040If you're on board with SimpliSafe, your family and your property are the last thing any criminal wants to mess with,
01:28:42.160because they have advanced home security and 24-7 monitoring plans for less than a dollar a day,
01:28:48.840and it's live guard protection, fast protect monitoring.
01:28:53.120SimpliSafe can act on an alarm within five seconds, find the intruder, even talk to the intruder.
01:32:28.820She's a longtime McConnell loyalist who's coming out, and she's trying to undermine Donald Trump.
01:32:35.480She's taken a step back since then because of the massive blowback that she got.
01:32:39.720But McConnell's fingerprints were all over that and other Republican resistance to trying to stop Donald Trump from getting his own appointees.
01:35:46.100People who actually know how to try and get things done there.
01:35:49.220You don't want – J.D. Vance is going to end up having a pretty big portfolio, it seems.
01:35:53.040He's going to have a lot of responsibilities, more than maybe the OBC with a vice president.
01:35:57.260So he may be a little busy, but he's certainly got some capable folks, and he's able to get in there.
01:36:02.800But even if you don't take it over forever, even if you just go in at the beginning,
01:36:09.900if they start to slow down, Donald Trump has to have his appointments, has to have them quickly,
01:36:16.700and he has to get his agenda done in the first hundred days, or they are going to – they're going to – they will stop this any way they can.
01:36:26.360He needs the Republicans, at the beginning at least, for the first hundred days, to move and move quickly.
01:36:33.300That was the secret of the Obama administration.
01:36:39.000That was, and this is really the time he's got to do it.
01:36:41.800This is why you see them right now, they're kind of arguing about how to approach this.
01:36:45.820You've got January, when everyone's going to come back to town, get to work,
01:36:49.620and there are some Republicans who are trying to attach basically a whole litany of what the Senate and the House wants to the early legislation.
01:36:57.540You see Jason Smith, for example, he's trying to add tax reform to Donald Trump's early agenda.
01:37:03.880And you've seen the Trump team saying, heck no, we don't want to bog this down with tax – we want to do tax reform, but you can do that next.
01:37:11.180The first step is the Trump administration's promise to the American people.
01:37:15.320It's a border bill. It's an immigration bill. It's a deportation bill.
01:37:18.840That's what we want, and we want our nominees across the board, and we don't want to mess around with that at all.
01:37:24.200But the people in Congress and the people in the Senate, they don't really like to listen that much to the will of the American people.
01:37:31.280So it is going to come down a little bit to a battle of wills, and it's also going to come down to how hard President Trump really wants to work on this.
01:37:39.180An engaged president who really cares about Capitol Hill and is willing to navigate it can get a huge amount done.
01:37:45.120The ability for Trump to pick up that phone, the ability of Trump to send that tweet, to rattle that saber, to actually be engaged, that's going to be kind of key here.
01:37:54.300So give me the carrot that can be used, especially with McConnell, and the stick.
01:38:06.900So McConnell's big thing is his legacy and his foreign policy legacy.
01:38:12.380He's trying to tie Donald Trump's hands on Ukraine.
01:38:15.560He's trying to tie Donald Trump's hands in the Middle East.
01:38:18.340And I don't know if there's many carrots that are really going to move him right now.
01:40:38.700The team he has around him, the seriousness of which they're approaching this, the mandate from the American people, the respect of the global leaders, the dream team he's pulled together, all of it combined for what could be an absolutely historic lifetime presidency.
01:40:54.000I have to tell you, from from here on out, I'm just when something doesn't go my way, you know, or our way for politics, I will always look to 2020 because we wouldn't even have known how deep the infection was had Biden and Harris not gotten in.
01:41:12.540We wouldn't have seen how close they were and what perversion they were planning for our country.
01:41:20.860We're we are so blessed he didn't win in 2020.

01:44:09.940But it was, it was, there's a couple of songs on this that are so, just kind of heartbreaking as a dad.
01:44:19.420Because, you know, when she did I'll Be Home for Christmas, she's like, Dad, this is the last year that I'm guaranteed to be home for Christmas.
01:44:31.680And I'm like, you're breaking my heart.
01:50:22.800Earlier today, in our number one of the podcast, we were talking about the killer who will remain
01:50:31.680nameless forever on this program, the killer of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare.
01:50:37.580And I referenced a conversation I had years ago with Rabbi Daniel Lappin about the mixing of sex and death and how bad that is and how uncomfortable that makes you, I mean, should make you.
01:50:57.060You know, like if you're watching a movie and it's sexual and they're killing one of them, it's just that super, super bad.
01:51:07.500And he told me, and I can't remember for the life of me, that there is something in the Torah or the Ten Commandments or, I don't know, Tim's rule of thumb, something bigger than that probably, that specifically talks about it.
01:51:50.540But, you know, you fill me with a deep sense of responsibility and fear when I converse with you, knowing that years and years and years later, you're going to remember it.
01:52:20.980Well, you know, depending on where you, wherever anybody fits on the secular religious spectrum.
01:52:32.080And so, regardless of whether you want to say that as a result of evolutionary biology or if you want to say as a result of how God created us, we human beings do not do well with step functions.
01:52:46.420We do better with gradual gradients, by which I mean to say that any sudden change between extremes doesn't do well for us.
01:52:54.180Going from very hot to very cold isn't good for our bodies.
01:52:59.040Men generally suffer heart issues if they go from sitting behind a desk every day to very strenuous exercise.
01:53:09.420Or people who sort of spend a lifetime very, very serious exercise and then sit around doing nothing.
01:53:15.780We don't do well with what I call step functions, sudden changes between extremes, conditions, and circumstances.
01:54:52.620Yes, sex is the ultimate expression of life.
01:54:56.120Part of its great appeal, part of why it's an almost irresistible instinct, is because never do we feel more alive than during those moments.
01:55:07.500And it's the only time we partner with the creator.
01:55:10.460Yeah, it's also very interesting that although the specialists assured us during the 80s that having a vasectomy would not make any difference whatsoever to the sensation, sex will still be as euphoric and as thrilling as it always was.
01:55:28.440All that will be, you don't even have to worry about the possibility of conception.
01:55:32.660And Norman Mailer was one of the first people who alerted me to the intrinsic falsehood of that statement.
01:55:39.660The fact is that when the potential for life is utterly eliminated, it actually does make a huge difference.
01:55:47.780Because part of the thrill of sex is, again, spiritual, psychological, it's inside of us.
01:55:53.260It's not just a case of friction on nerves.
01:55:56.160It's more than a spasm in the spinal column.
01:55:59.220And when the possibility of life is removed, then it really, really does make a difference.
01:56:04.980One of the reasons so many people have been rushing to try and have vasectomy reversals.
01:56:09.040It's not that they necessarily want children, but they've sensed how, what a dramatic, distressing, diminishing it is of the entire experience.
01:56:20.240Because it is a life-affirming experience.
01:56:23.980The last thing you want to do is make that completely out of the question and impossible.
01:56:28.420And so, for that reason, it's also important to recognize that in menstruation, what is actually happening is the death of an egg, if you like.
01:56:42.880It's the elimination of a tiny little possible potential of life.
01:56:46.820And so, for a sensitive woman to feel a little bit down at the time of her period, it makes perfect sense.
01:56:56.200Of course, a sensitive woman will feel that.
01:56:58.360Who wouldn't feel it at the one tiny little possibility of life has now gone?
01:57:04.760It's not a big tragedy or anything, but for sensitive people, it's a reality.
01:57:09.340And while you may not think that, you're saying we're naturally built, our bodies understand that.
01:57:27.680And so, one of the reasons that the Torah prohibits sex during menstruation, it's very simply, once again, you are trying to bring together life.
01:57:41.080The ultimate of life with a little bit of death doesn't go.
01:58:11.800Well, I just know that when my wife is like this, I'm like this.
01:58:16.880We will turn off a movie so fast or walk out of a movie so fast when there's anything where somebody is getting some sort of sexual gratification out of killing someone.
01:58:31.520It just seems like one of the most evil things you can – I don't know why, but it just does.
01:58:38.100Well, it's in essence the ultimate of masculinity.
01:58:42.000In these so-called enlightened times in which we live, we may not want to acknowledge this.
01:58:48.320We may not want to confront the reality, but the ultimate of masculinity is exactly that.
01:58:56.680And the masculine instinct to defend his woman and his family and his children, that is an essential part of masculinity.
01:59:03.680So, when you take away the ennobling cultural context of virtue and family and structure, what you're left with is gangsterism, which is, again, focused on violence and sex.
01:59:22.160No, I was just going to say that Shakespeare himself put it so absolutely beautifully in his play The Winter's Tale, where Shakespeare in Act 3 has the shepherd – and I'm going to just say the words because it's so beautiful.
01:59:37.960Shakespeare says that teenage boys really do nothing but getting girls pregnant and stealing and fighting.
01:59:45.760And Shakespeare says, I would there were no age between 16 and 3 and 20, or that youth would sleep out the rest, for there is nothing in between but getting wenches with child, wronging the ancientry, stealing and fighting.
02:00:03.540So, the contrast – yeah, sorry, go ahead.
02:00:06.060No, I was just going to say thank you for that.
02:00:08.740And I've always wanted to be a guy that could quote, you know, Shakespeare or even Dr. Seuss, quite honestly.
02:00:16.060Never been able to do it, but especially when you do it with an English accent, you know, you just sound better.
02:00:24.100You sound smarter, and you are smarter than the rest of us.
02:00:27.140If I lose my accent, we'll starve to death.
02:01:04.860Your dog doesn't know the difference between healthy and unhealthy food, but his body does.
02:01:10.480And when you're feeding him dry kibble food, for instance, it's telling him everything he's eating is dead because kibble food has to be sterilized for a long shelf life.
02:01:18.660Ever seen those things where you could put a McDonald's hamburger up on a, you know, windowsill for like, I don't know, two years and it's fine?
02:01:28.000I mean, I wouldn't eat it, but nothing happened to it.
02:01:40.860Now, this is something that you sprinkle on that food that you already have.
02:01:44.620It's vitamins, probiotics, enzymes, omega oils, antioxidants, everything that will help your dog's digestion, energy, and you'll have fewer vet bills.
02:03:48.200So here's an idea for how to organize our opposition.
02:03:52.280We need to borrow from our British friends and appoint a shadow cabinet to fight back against the worst abuses of a second Trump administration.
02:05:21.860Everyone from Adam Schiff, Hakeem Jeffries, and Chuck Schumer, all on this list.
02:05:27.120But Nickel, the moron from North Carolina, claims a deep state or shadow government, which is totally different, is nothing to worry about.
02:05:37.500After all, our cousins from the UK do it.
02:05:41.180I want you to take a look at his majesty's official opposition shadow cabinet directly on their website.
02:05:48.860This is their government website, the shadow cabinet.
02:06:03.480Okay, it's presented as an alternative government in waiting.
02:06:09.940But see, when you have a parliamentary system where coalitions are being built and then they scheme and then everybody manipulates each other,
02:06:17.440it might make a little more sense because you can call an election at any time.
02:06:44.240Have you read the Declaration of Independence?
02:06:47.240So what he's proposing here, out in the open, on the official record, would be the American version of the UK's shadow cabinet by naming the top-down elected agents that secretly will run our country through the administrative deep state because they lost,
02:07:06.460because they couldn't convince you that those were good ideas, but they know better.
