The Glenn Beck Program - Justice for Laken Riley： Americans Are DONE with Open-Border LIES ｜ Guest： Dallas Jenkins

00:00:00.000 This winter, take a trip to Tampa on Porter Airlines.

00:00:05.400 Enjoy the warm Tampa Bay temperatures and warm Porter hospitality on your way there.

00:00:11.360 All Porter fares include beer, wine, and snacks, and free, fast-streaming Wi-Fi on planes with no middle seats.

00:00:18.780 And your Tampa Bay vacation includes good times, relaxation, and great Gulf Coast weather.

00:00:25.160 Visit flyporter.com and actually enjoy economy.

00:00:30.000 Right now, the United States is relying on China for about 80% of our generic medications, 80%,

00:00:35.980 which is a little bit terrifying when you look at everything that could possibly go wrong

00:00:40.100 if China decides to turn the faucet off or if we have some global conflict, which is completely out of the picture.

00:00:47.300 You need the Jace case.

00:00:48.960 It's a personalized emergency kit that contains the essential antibiotics and medications

00:00:53.780 that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections.

00:00:57.620 You have it, and you have the medicine in your home.

00:01:01.280 It provides five life-saving antibiotics for emergency use.

00:01:05.000 You just fill out a simple form online, and you'll have it in your home just in case you need it.

00:01:10.200 It's great for vacation.

00:01:11.920 It's great for when you just can't get in to see the doctor or whatever.

00:01:15.280 You get them on the phone, and you're like, should I use this now?

00:01:18.200 They launched also an all-new compounded version of Ivermectin for only $30, which brings that price way down.

00:01:25.980 It's an add-on for the Jace case.

00:01:28.000 You can add on any of your medications.

00:01:43.040 You're no room to compromise.

00:02:13.040 We've got to stand together if it goes a lie.

00:02:19.660 Stand up straight and hold the light.

00:02:23.680 It's a new day, I'm tired of the light.

00:02:27.580 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:33.000 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:36.980 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:39.060 We're glad you're here.

00:02:40.540 Guilty on all counts.

00:02:43.040 I think there's something deeply satisfying with this.

00:02:47.560 Something that is very emotional.

00:02:50.200 With the judge yesterday.

00:02:52.140 Guilty on all counts.

00:02:54.360 We'll talk about that in 60 seconds.

00:02:57.500 Laken Riley finally gets justice.

00:02:59.940 Now, let me tell you about pre-born.

00:03:01.380 There are people out there who wake up every morning and try to change the world.

00:03:04.560 Some for the worst.

00:03:05.340 Some for the better.

00:03:06.060 In the better camp are the people at pre-born and people like you.

00:03:10.340 Pre-born saves 200 babies every single day by offering free ultrasounds to expecting moms,

00:03:16.880 doubling the baby's chance at life.

00:03:19.180 For just $28, you can sponsor an ultrasound.

00:03:23.180 Pre-born also supplies moms with diapers, car seats, counseling, and so much more for up to two years after that.

00:03:29.300 So let's keep it going.

00:03:31.140 There are babies in mothers' wombs right now who need your help.

00:03:35.080 As the year comes to a close, your tax-deductible donation can be the difference between life and death.

00:03:40.680 Would you consider $28 or $28 a month?

00:03:43.920 Or if you've had a great year, a leadership gift to save babies in a big way?

00:03:48.640 Your gift of $5,000, $10,000, or $15,000 will be used to save countless babies.

00:03:53.540 And now, through a match, your gift is doubled.

00:03:56.660 To donate, just dial pound 250.

00:03:58.400 Say the keyword, baby.

00:03:59.300 That's pound 250.

00:04:00.620 Keyword, baby.

00:04:01.500 Or go to preborn.com slash beck.

00:04:03.840 That's preborn.com slash beck.

00:04:05.920 All gifts are tax-deductible.

00:04:07.860 And Pre-born has a four-star charity rating.

00:04:10.540 Fight, fight, fight for the babies.

00:04:13.420 Sponsored by Pre-born.

00:04:16.620 So is that a new theme?

00:04:18.120 Is that a new theme?

00:04:19.060 It's like a different vibe on the same song.

00:04:21.660 It's not a new theme, but it's something that I asked probably at the beginning, before

00:04:26.560 the election really kicked in, and then I completely forgot about it.

00:04:29.220 I said, make one sound a little like, I don't know, like Pearl Jam.

00:04:34.820 And so this is a different one.

00:04:36.020 It sounded like Christmas, though.

00:04:37.700 Well, because it was there in my inbox for months and months, and somebody said, hey, you

00:04:46.060 want to use this before we don't use this theme anymore?

00:04:49.060 And I said, can you put Christmas bells behind it so it sounds like a Christmas version?

00:04:53.280 I like that.

00:04:53.940 Yeah.

00:04:54.060 So, because I was thinking about the theme the other day, because we've been using the

00:05:00.360 same song for about three years, four years.

00:05:03.060 I think this one started right around COVID, right when Biden came in or just before.

00:05:09.820 It must have been like 21.

00:05:10.980 Yeah, maybe.

00:05:11.340 Because I feel like it was Biden, but it was at the time, this idea that if we didn't

00:05:17.040 stand up, we were going to lose the country.

00:05:20.340 And like, hey, look at this.

00:05:22.180 Maybe we did.

00:05:22.940 Yeah.

00:05:23.320 That's why the theme is changing this year.

00:05:25.460 In January, we'll have a brand new theme.

00:05:28.440 But I did.

00:05:30.020 I kept it.

00:05:30.960 You know, we don't ever.

00:05:31.900 We always change our themes pretty quickly.

00:05:33.980 Yeah.

00:05:34.180 Do it pretty much every year.

00:05:35.300 Yeah.

00:05:35.520 And, you know, people have been like, oh, cheers.

00:05:37.500 It's the same theme.

00:05:38.780 Well, yeah, but there's different versions.

00:05:41.140 They get mad if we keep it or if we switch it, to be fair.

00:05:43.660 I know.

00:05:44.120 I know.

00:05:44.920 But I kept it for the last four years because I was hoping America would stand up.

00:05:52.960 You know, remind every day, you got to stand up.

00:05:55.280 You got to stand up.

00:05:56.060 And we did.

00:05:57.380 Now, we have to keep standing.

00:05:59.920 But mission accomplished, gang.

00:06:02.980 I mean, really, good job.

00:06:05.420 And next year, I'm not going to tell you what the theme is.

00:06:07.520 But next year, the lyrics change, the music changes, and we're going kind of closer to

00:06:13.280 the roots of America for the theme.

00:06:16.760 So, anyway.

00:06:18.720 Okay.

00:06:19.340 So, yesterday, the judge found Lakin Riley's murderer guilty on all charges.

00:06:33.120 Now, listen to this, but I want you to listen to this and notice your reaction to it.

00:06:40.720 Maybe it's just me.

00:06:42.340 I don't know.

00:06:42.980 But listen to this and notice your reaction to it.

00:06:45.500 Go ahead.

00:06:46.320 Count one, malice murder.

00:06:48.720 I find the defendant guilty.

00:06:52.020 Count two, felony murder.

00:06:53.820 I find the defendant guilty.

00:06:57.180 Count three, felony murder.

00:06:59.020 I find the defendant guilty.

00:07:00.360 Count four, felony murder.

00:07:04.080 I find the defendant guilty.

00:07:06.800 Count five, kidnapping with bodily injury.

00:07:09.660 I find the defendant guilty.

00:07:12.160 Count six, aggravated assault with intent to rape.

00:07:15.460 I find the defendant guilty.

00:07:19.700 Count seven, aggravated battery.

00:07:22.960 Count eight, obstructing or hindering a 911 call.

00:07:31.840 I find the defendant guilty.

00:07:34.260 Count nine, tampering with evidence.

00:07:36.780 I find the defendant guilty.

00:07:40.320 Count ten, peeping Tom.

00:07:42.200 I find the defendant guilty.

00:07:43.520 What are you feeling?

00:07:48.200 It could just be me.

00:07:49.540 What are you feeling?

00:07:51.640 What am I feeling?

00:07:52.700 Am I hearing that?

00:07:53.820 I'm happy that justice is at some level hitting the sky, but more just anger about how unnecessary it all was.

00:08:02.480 You know, the fact that, you know, he got, he got on a free flight to go to the, to Georgia in the first place.

00:08:08.020 Yeah, no.

00:08:08.460 The Biden administration put him on one of those ghost flights in the middle of the night so he could live in Georgia.

00:08:16.760 Yeah.

00:08:17.260 And it cost this poor woman her life.

00:08:20.040 And, you know, she's just one prominent example.

00:08:23.780 This story has been told way too many times.

00:08:26.240 Here's what I feel.

00:08:27.200 Here's what I feel.

00:08:32.480 First emotional because you can hear the parents gasp and cry in the back and happy for them, sad at the waist, but also we're not going to take it anymore.

00:08:52.820 Justice is back.

00:08:56.860 That makes me feel good.

00:08:59.080 All this bullcrap of, oh, these poor immigrants that have come in, they're not all bad.

00:09:06.180 This guy was in the Venezuelan gang and so was his brother.

00:09:09.520 And you know how he tried to get off?

00:09:11.660 He tried to get off saying it was my brother, not me.

00:09:14.680 And his brother was like, no, it wasn't me.

00:09:16.740 It was my brother.

00:09:17.880 It was basically a version of the OJ defense.

00:09:20.460 Yes.

00:09:20.760 DNA can't really tell between me and my brother.

00:09:23.060 My brother.

00:09:23.400 Yeah.

00:09:23.740 Right.

00:09:23.940 And the reason why they had DNA is because it was under her fingernails as she scraped his arms, his face, and his back.

00:09:32.900 And they had pictures of the claw marks that she left on him.

00:09:38.600 So justice is served.

00:09:41.660 Now, here's the other thing.

00:09:44.820 He's not going to get the death penalty.

00:09:46.520 Maybe life in prison, no chance of parole.

00:09:49.720 But I don't even trust that stuff.

00:09:52.400 He's not going to get the death penalty.

00:09:54.020 Why?

00:09:55.420 Because the prosecutor, which was a Soros prosecutor, said that's not real justice.

00:10:03.560 Now, they're talking about reversing that.

00:10:09.500 And this new prosecutor, because I don't know if you know this, that prosecutor lost, I think, by 17 points.

00:10:17.600 It's over.

00:10:19.340 It's over.

00:10:21.320 Now, there are some states now that are saying, you know what?

00:10:24.820 This drives me out of my mind.

00:10:26.760 These people are so lacking of any kind of principles.

00:10:31.380 They change with the wind.

00:10:34.180 There are no principles.

00:10:35.600 Just a few, what, a month ago, two months ago, all of the cities, all of the people in the cities, from San Francisco to New York, were saying, this is going to collapse our city.

00:10:47.580 We can't handle all of these people that have come across the borders.

00:10:52.440 They were sending them to Texas.

00:10:55.900 New York was taking people and sending them from New York to Texas because they just couldn't handle it.

00:11:04.400 Like, Texas could.

00:11:05.600 Okay?

00:11:07.040 Now, they've all changed overnight now.

00:11:11.620 Oh, we're going to protect these people.

00:11:13.940 How dare the big bad government come in and try to take, we're just going to cuddle these people.

00:11:19.980 It's over, gang.

00:11:21.820 It's over.

00:11:23.580 And I hope that the president finds the constitutionally legal way to cut you off from every funding.

00:11:32.880 You want to play that game?

00:11:35.100 Fine.

00:11:35.780 Then your city doesn't get any federal dollars.

00:11:38.900 You want to do that?

00:11:40.240 That's fine.

00:11:40.860 Because you're costing all of us.

00:11:43.800 You're costing us money because you're going to ask for a federal bailout.

00:11:48.120 And the other part of that should be, you're not getting one.

00:11:52.240 California, you want to play this game?

00:11:54.500 We're not going to pay for it.

00:11:57.180 I love California.

00:11:58.820 I think California is the most beautiful state in the union.

00:12:04.360 I've always, since a kid, I've always wanted to live in California.

00:12:08.380 The reason why I don't is because they're insane.

00:12:12.380 They're insane.

00:12:14.260 I don't want to live with the insanity.

00:12:16.320 And I know that I'll be impoverished in the end by it.

00:12:20.380 And so will all of my neighbors.

00:12:22.340 I don't want to live in that.

00:12:25.220 So I don't live in California because you want your California.

00:12:30.660 I live in Texas because I would like to be, have California more like Texas, but it's not.

00:12:36.940 So I live in Texas because I know the state won't impoverish me.

00:12:42.520 I know the state won't take all of my rights away from me.

00:12:45.320 I know they won't coddle criminals.

00:12:49.140 So I live in Texas.

00:12:51.560 Don't you dare come for a handout from me.

00:12:55.020 You made your bed.

00:12:58.360 You pay for it.

00:13:00.480 And if you want to keep criminals in your state, if you want to coddle those people,

00:13:06.440 that's totally fine with me.

00:13:08.720 But I honestly believe maybe we should check your passports when you come across the border

00:13:14.900 of California or New York.

00:13:16.820 Are you here legally?

00:13:19.560 Because if they leave those states, they should be arrested and deported.

00:13:25.100 And I don't want any of them moving into my city or my state.

00:13:29.800 But they're going to eventually, and your people eventually are going to move to my state

00:13:34.620 and they're going to vote for the same damn things because they're too stupid to understand

00:13:38.140 what caused their state to become like that.

00:13:40.620 I got to get to Florida.

00:13:42.660 Why are there no progressives we can vote for?

00:13:46.800 Because you haven't wrecked it yet.

00:13:50.640 I think, too, and I know you say this, you know, you want to deal with these people fine.

00:13:55.680 In reality, of course, I know.

00:13:57.580 We have to.

00:13:58.040 It is a federal issue.

00:14:00.460 I mean, this is the left that prevented states like Arizona from implementing and enforcing

00:14:06.500 immigration law because this has to be done at the federal level.

00:14:09.400 Well, hopefully Trump's about to show you what that looks like.

00:14:12.280 Yep.

00:14:13.200 And it should be done at the federal level.

00:14:15.520 So he will, I think, overrule and overrun some of these people who are trying to avoid

00:14:24.720 the law in their local jurisdictions.

00:14:26.680 And he should do that.

00:14:28.420 You know, Glenn, one of the most frustrating things about the Lake and Riley thing is we

00:14:32.040 talk about the borders being open, people flowing over all the time.

00:14:34.640 And that is awful.

00:14:36.480 And obviously, the border at times can be difficult to protect completely.

00:14:42.100 People are going to get across it at some level.

00:14:43.920 But we caught this guy.

00:14:46.700 This isn't an example of a guy sneaking across the border.

00:14:50.180 We caught him.

00:14:51.800 And then put him on a plane.

00:14:52.640 And then released him into the country.

00:14:54.900 He got arrested multiple more times while he was here.

00:14:58.800 Yep.

00:14:59.100 We still gave him a free flight.

00:15:00.920 We still put him up in the Roosevelt Hotel with free lodging.

00:15:05.060 And then we sent him to Georgia with a free flight.

00:15:08.140 He got arrested there with his brother.

00:15:10.920 We still kept releasing him.

00:15:12.380 And then, after all of that, he murdered this poor woman.

00:15:18.540 It's not even a case where, like, okay, this is difficult.

00:15:22.180 I get that.

00:15:22.780 That can happen.

00:15:23.960 This one's not.

00:15:24.800 This is not what that is.

00:15:25.960 No, this one's not.

00:15:26.480 And it happens over and over and over again.

00:15:27.860 And God, if we could just stop some of those.

00:15:30.500 Yeah.

00:15:31.220 Talking about standing up.

00:15:32.900 Maybe we could at least stop some of those.

00:15:34.640 We are going to.

00:15:36.020 We are going to.

00:15:37.240 That's what we voted for.

00:15:38.860 We voted for an end of all of this.

00:15:41.660 By the way, have you heard that the DOJ has just put a paper shredder truck outside of the FBI office?

00:15:50.940 I swear to you, if they shred anything that we need and they're like, we lost it.

00:15:57.220 We shredded it.

00:15:58.160 We don't know what happened to it.

00:15:59.840 Put them in jail.

00:16:00.700 Don't fire them.

00:16:02.340 Put them in jail.

00:16:04.780 It is time that we say to this government, enough is enough.

00:16:11.700 We're going to live by the laws of the land.

00:16:16.040 And that includes all of this red tape bull crap.

00:16:22.280 All of it.

00:16:23.180 You want that law?

00:16:26.100 Pass it through Congress.

00:16:27.840 Not through some bureaucrat that we don't even know who they are.

00:16:31.300 We never voted for them.

00:16:32.540 Why do they rule over our life?

00:16:35.780 By the way, the House Ethics Committee has decided not to release the Gates investigation.

00:16:42.720 Okay.

00:16:43.140 At least temporarily.

00:16:44.780 They're not sure.

00:16:45.780 Because it's not finished.

00:16:48.480 Now, the DOJ finished it over two years ago.

00:16:52.360 Okay.

00:16:53.480 This has got to stop.

00:16:55.540 I don't know if Matt Gaetz is guilty or innocent of what they accuse him of.

00:17:01.260 I have no idea.

00:17:03.340 But just like Brett Kavanaugh, this smearing of people has got to stop.

00:17:10.720 If he's guilty, charge him.

00:17:14.220 Make sure he has a fair trial and let the chips fall where they may.

00:17:20.120 But they won't charge.

00:17:21.600 They're not charging because they know that the people who are including the women, they know that they are not trustworthy.

00:17:32.080 The DOJ, this is the biggest opponent of the DOJ.

00:17:37.560 He's got real teeth on the DOJ.

00:17:40.640 So, all of a sudden, the DOJ finds these accusations.

00:17:46.740 Okay.

00:17:47.540 All right.

00:17:48.620 Maybe he did them.

00:17:49.520 Then, if you have enough to charge him, then you shut your mouth.

00:17:57.100 Now, you might continue to investigate, but you shut your mouth.

00:18:02.220 When you have enough to charge, then charge.

00:18:07.200 We're not a country that should allow for another day the smearing of individuals based on stuff that is not chargeable.

00:18:17.680 They've made this guy practically into a pedophile.

00:18:22.600 Where do you go to get your reputation back?

00:18:30.140 Because if they can do it to him, they'll do it to you.

00:18:33.580 Now, he may not be—I don't think he is a saint.

00:18:35.920 I think he's a long way away from a saint.

00:18:37.560 But I don't know who to believe.

00:18:41.820 That's for a jury to decide.

00:18:44.100 But once somebody is charged—not investigated, charged—if this—the Democrats or some of the sleazy Republicans decide to release this,

00:18:58.220 all of those people should either be impeached or we should primary them.

00:19:03.880 Because this kind of stuff has got to stop.

00:19:07.560 Does it mean we let some bad guys get away?

00:19:10.800 Yes.

00:19:12.380 But wouldn't you rather have one bad guy get away than one good person get smeared and their life destroyed?

00:19:21.440 That is justice.

00:19:23.560 Back in just a second.

00:19:24.660 If you're living with pain in your life, I want to talk to you about relief factor.

00:19:27.880 You're tired of giving up and giving things up.

00:19:30.760 Everybody else around just blasts through their day like it's nothing, and there you are.

00:19:34.740 You're having to try to catch up to them when you can because you hurt.

00:19:39.960 I get it.

00:19:41.300 That's why I found relief factor.

00:19:43.260 My wife made me try it.

00:19:44.500 I didn't think it would work, honestly.

00:20:11.120 Most of the time, I don't, but if I'm traveling a lot, I'm doing a lot of stuff, I have that pain,

00:20:18.280 and it hasn't touched the deep, deep pain, for me at least, but it has made my daily life.

00:20:26.120 It's taken away all of the pain that it can fight with inflammation.

00:21:12.480 Faithful friends who are dear to us.

00:21:18.260 Gather near to us once more.

00:21:22.720 From Cheyenne Grace's new album, Home for Christmas, which will be released on Black Friday, wherever you get your music.

00:21:35.340 You can also go to Glenn Beck Christmas now.

00:21:38.780 We have a few things up for the first time for Christmas.

00:21:42.320 If you have a friend or family member that is a Glenn Beck fan, this is a great place to get your Glenn Beck Christmas stuff.

00:21:52.120 In fact, let me...

00:21:52.940 It's glennbeckchristmas.com?

00:21:54.380 Yeah, glennbeckchristmas.com.

00:21:55.820 Let me see if I can go there and show you what's on it.

00:21:58.780 I know there's a painting that I did.

00:22:02.680 It's my first really serious, straight-up painting of Christ, which...

00:22:08.160 Oh, my gosh.

00:22:09.660 I started that like, you know, I think I can paint a painting of Christ.

00:22:13.280 Oh, my gosh.

00:22:14.120 The pressure on that is, like, enormous.

00:22:16.600 Enormous.

00:22:17.120 But the original sold just recently, and you can get the G Clay on that now for a reasonable price at glennbeckchristmas.com.

00:22:31.240 It comes with a letter about my testimony on Christ and everything else, and it's personally signed by me.

00:22:36.220 There's other paintings, G Clays, that are available.

00:22:40.180 There's Cheyenne's Christmas album.

00:22:43.060 There's also something that I can't believe the response on this.

00:22:47.340 We've made it into cups and mugs.

00:22:49.620 We've made it into T-shirts, and you can get the G Clay.

00:22:54.460 It is the real Captain America.

00:22:58.140 It's a painting I just did of George Washington, kind of in a Captain America kind of feel.

00:23:04.800 And it's great.

00:23:06.940 You can get the T-shirt, the mug, whatever you want, including, I believe, the original may be up for you.

00:23:13.960 But you can get the G Clays.

00:23:15.540 You can also get all the sick, twisted, freak paraphernalia as well.

00:23:20.400 glennbeckchristmas.com.

00:23:22.400 Glenn Beck.

00:23:24.440 Okay, so what actually matters to you?

00:23:27.280 Family matters, right?

00:23:28.340 Faith matters.

00:23:29.040 By the way, don't let me forget to talk about family, the stuff that's going on with families that people are like,

00:23:34.700 I'm not going to go to Thanksgiving with you.

00:23:37.020 Oh, gosh.

00:23:38.680 Living a life of integrity matters.

00:23:41.140 Forgiveness matters.

00:23:42.000 America matters.

00:23:45.620 That's what we stood up for.

00:23:48.040 American Giant was created 13 years ago because the people that run American Giant, they know.

00:23:54.300 They agree with you.

00:23:55.020 America matters.

00:23:56.120 And to save a clothing factory in North Carolina, the jobs were saved.

00:24:00.040 The employees could continue to do work.

00:24:01.840 That saved this town.

00:24:04.340 American Giant Manufacturing.

00:24:06.380 American Manufacturing matters.

00:24:08.780 American Giant Manufacturing means that the people that grow cotton in our country, they sell it to American Giant.

00:24:18.560 It's processed here.

00:24:19.960 It's woven here.

00:24:21.260 It's dyed here with American ink.

00:24:23.500 It's sewn and cut and sewn, and it's all American Giant.

00:24:43.980 So, the Blaze Originals has a new dock out, perfect for Thanksgiving.

00:25:14.680 Countdown to the next aviation disaster.

00:25:17.080 Before you get on a plane and go see, well, maybe after you come home, maybe, the FAA is completely out of control.

00:25:30.600 Completely out of control.

00:25:32.200 And we put Stu in a plane and have him fly all over the country to talk to the FAA and others that are fighting against what they're doing because there is a major disaster that is right around the corner because of DEI.

00:25:49.200 We've had how many near misses?

00:25:51.000 Oh, my gosh.

00:25:51.400 We documented a ton of them.

00:25:52.860 Do you show the video of them?

00:25:54.760 Yeah, the video.

00:25:55.560 Oh, my gosh.

00:25:55.660 There's great, like, the footage of the, you know, like, the animations.

00:25:59.020 Planes.

00:25:59.080 Just.

00:25:59.720 And also the planes.

00:26:01.080 Yeah.

00:26:01.220 There's video of planes that are landing.

00:26:04.820 This just happened to me.

00:26:06.240 My gosh, I completely forgot about this.

00:26:08.060 Really?

00:26:08.420 This just happened to me.

00:26:09.740 I was landing in maybe Fort Myers.

00:26:13.800 We were landing in Fort Myers, and we were coming down, and we were maybe 100 feet from the runway, you know, from, all of a sudden, we just and rocketed up because they put another plane on that runway right in front of us.

00:26:29.780 And it was like, what are you doing?

00:26:32.900 And this is happening all over the country.

00:26:35.220 Yeah.

00:26:35.540 All the time.

00:26:36.580 And, you know, there's a bunch of different reasons for it.

00:26:38.780 We go through them in the documentary, which is available, I guess, to stream now at blazetv.com.

00:26:44.420 But what's fascinating about it is, you know, there's also the whole aspect of DEI and how the people who are, you know, not only overworked to these air traffic controllers, they're totally understaffed, overworked.

00:26:57.700 But also, they're one of the reasons why all of this has happened is they've just stopped blocking essentially white males from getting these jobs.

00:27:05.340 You know, and we go through that whole process.

00:27:07.980 People who, you know, sue or suing the government now to get all this overturned.

00:27:11.900 They caught them, though.

00:27:12.720 This is not, like, questionable.

00:27:14.680 I'll go through all the evidence in the documentary.

00:27:16.700 But it is shocking.

00:27:19.440 Let me ask you something.

00:27:21.500 Would you want a doctor who was white if the best doctor was black or Asian?

00:27:32.900 Of course not.

00:27:33.700 Of course not.

00:27:34.600 Of course not.

00:27:35.180 Why would you say, oh, on this airplane or in the seat that decides when and what runway that airplane lands or its course, why would you not want the best person?

00:27:52.020 Because it is a matter of life and death.

00:27:54.400 This DEI stuff is, it is, it's death.

00:27:58.540 It should be D-I-E.

00:28:00.440 Yeah.

00:28:01.040 Because it is all about death.

00:28:03.400 In the end, that's what happens when you have unqualified people building bridges, flying planes, being your eyes in the sky.

00:28:15.800 That's what happens.

00:28:16.640 I talked to a guy in the documentary who took the merit-based test to become an air traffic controller and got a 100 on it.

00:28:24.180 100.

00:28:24.640 A perfect score.

00:28:25.480 Right.

00:28:25.900 Perfect score.

00:28:26.460 Then they added another test called the, it was called the biographical exam.

00:28:31.960 Really?

00:28:32.680 Yes.

00:28:33.200 And it had really weird questions.

00:28:35.460 We go through the test.

00:28:36.820 What are the, well, like what were some of them?

00:28:37.960 Like something like, did you perform well in science in high school?

00:28:43.720 And you think, all right, well, I can kind of see why they'd ask that question, right?

00:28:46.380 Like if you have a scientific mind, maybe you're an analytical mind, you know.

00:28:49.740 But I bet you they score you lower if you did well in high school.

00:28:53.460 You know these people too well, Glenn.

00:28:54.980 If you say, yes, I did well in science in high school, you get penalized because that, to them, and I think this is a racist assumption, but to them, you're less likely to be a minority if you did well in science in high school.

00:29:12.240 So you get punished for doing well in a subject that obviously would relate to what you're doing.

00:29:19.920 Can you imagine, can you imagine if the question was, did you do well at basketball when you were in high school?

00:29:30.320 Are you good at tap dancing?

00:29:33.420 Can you imagine?

00:29:34.260 At least it would be a positive attribute and not a negative one.

00:29:38.340 But yes, it would be insane.

00:29:39.240 You would immediately say, you're good at tap dancing, you were in drama, maybe you're gay, tap dancing, I don't know, stereotypical black, you know, I mean, from the 1940s, but still.

00:29:51.000 You would go, what does that question mean?

00:29:53.600 Why is that being asked?

00:29:55.740 You did well in basketball.

00:29:58.180 Why is that question being asked?

00:30:01.240 This is just, that's blatant racism.

00:30:05.580 This is subtle racism, unless you know you get downgraded by saying, yes, I was good at science.

00:30:13.900 Right.

00:30:14.420 Because normally you'd be like, yeah.

00:30:16.220 And of course, this is unfair to, let's say, a white male who was good at science.

00:30:20.400 But you know who else it's unfair to?

00:30:21.900 A black female who was good at science.

00:30:24.340 Yes.

00:30:24.560 Right.

00:30:25.200 Like they were actually punishing people who did, who had good performance in school so that they couldn't get these jobs.

00:30:32.400 And so this guy who went through this entire process, wasted years of his life, winds up not getting the job and now is suing the government over it, thankfully, to expose.

00:30:42.680 And that's how they've exposed a lot of this.

00:30:44.620 But we go through all of this on the documentary.

00:30:46.540 It is called, what is it?

00:30:47.900 Countdown to the next, countdown is it?

00:30:50.560 The next disaster, I think.

00:30:52.200 Aviation disaster.

00:30:53.220 I should know the title.

00:30:54.000 Oh, here it is.

00:30:54.560 Countdown to the next aviation disaster.

00:30:56.480 It's available at blazeoriginals.com slash stew.

00:30:59.060 If you use the promo code DEI, you'll save 30 bucks on your annual subscription.

00:31:02.820 And you know what?

00:31:03.340 What's really, actually, really good about this is this is, this is the end of it.

00:31:10.720 This is hopefully the end of it.

00:31:12.440 Now, they have done everything they can to bury DEI deeply into all of our agencies so you can't cut it out.

00:31:20.560 But it's got to go.

00:31:22.220 It absolutely, we have to be.

00:31:23.980 I don't want to drive on a bridge that didn't have the best engineers.

00:31:31.400 Right.

00:31:31.880 Right.

00:31:32.400 Okay.

00:31:32.740 You know why the doors are blowing off of Boeing planes and wheels are falling off?

00:31:37.660 Because they got rid of all of the engineers.

00:31:42.920 Hello.

00:31:44.500 It's life and death.

00:31:46.340 Gosh, what are we even thinking?

00:31:50.260 You know who's really going to be, are you a computer?

00:31:54.260 Are you AI?

00:31:55.620 Can you put this little puzzle together so I know you're not a computer?

00:31:59.600 Okay.

00:32:01.220 Would you do that if AI, who is now outperforming doctors on cancer tests, would you be like, I don't want my human doctor to not have a job.

00:32:13.160 So, I don't care.

00:32:15.960 My doctor says I don't have cancer.

00:32:18.120 AI says I do have cancer.

00:32:20.500 I'm not going to test.

00:32:21.660 I'm not going to test.

00:32:22.800 I believe the doctor.

00:32:24.060 Right.

00:32:24.580 Jobs.

00:32:25.080 Because of jobs.

00:32:25.840 You would never do that.

00:32:26.920 Your life is at stake.

00:32:28.860 You want the best results.

00:32:30.140 My gosh.

00:32:31.040 What is wrong?

00:32:31.640 It's obvious, and it's obviously central to what made America great in the first place.

00:32:36.240 Yes.

00:32:36.540 Right?

00:32:36.900 Yes.

00:32:37.100 We cared about merit, and we are going away from that.

00:32:42.040 So, we have to get into this.

00:32:43.900 There is a great article up, and you can find it in our show prep today.

00:32:48.720 You just go to glenbeck.com.

00:32:50.360 Look for my daily show prep.

00:32:51.760 It's free, but you should get that every day because it's really, really good.

00:32:55.880 But there is a letter now from Vivek Ramaswamy on what Doge is going to do.

00:33:05.480 Yeah, and Elon Musk, right?

00:33:06.600 And Elon Musk.

00:33:07.460 And it is so good.

00:33:09.640 It's inspiring.

00:33:10.920 Yeah.

00:33:11.160 It makes me actually optimistic, which is rare.

00:33:13.780 Yeah.

00:33:14.040 Let me just give you a little bit of it.

00:33:15.420 We'll get into it later.

00:33:16.260 But President Trump has asked the two of us to lead a newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, or Doge, which I love,

00:33:24.460 to cut the federal government down to size.

00:33:27.040 The entrenched and ever-growing bureaucracy represents an existential threat to our republic,

00:33:33.000 and politicians, notice not democracy, our republic, and politicians have abetted it for too long.

00:33:39.960 That's why we're doing things differently.

00:33:42.280 We are entrepreneurs, not politicians.

00:33:45.360 We will serve as outside volunteers, not federal officials or employees.

00:33:50.380 Unlike government commissions or advisory committees, we won't just write reports or cut ribbons.

00:33:57.040 We're going to cut costs.

00:33:59.300 We're assisting the Trump transition team to identify and hire a lean team of small government crusaders,

00:34:07.000 including some of the sharpest technical and legal minds in America.

00:34:10.520 We will focus particularly on driving change through executive action based on existing legislation rather than passing new laws.

00:34:20.400 Our North Star on reform will be the U.S. Constitution with a focus on two critical Supreme Court rulings

00:34:28.920 that have been issued during President Biden's tenure, West Virginia versus environmental protection agencies.

00:34:35.380 The justice has held that agencies cannot impose regulations dealing with major economic or policy questions

00:34:42.960 unless Congress specifically authorizes them to do so.

00:34:47.480 In Loper Bright versus Raimondo, the court overturned the Chevron Doctrine,

00:34:53.960 which held that federal courts should no longer defer to federal agency interpretations of the law

00:34:59.600 or their own rulemaking authority.

00:35:01.820 Together, these cases suggest that the plethora of current federal regulations exceed the authority Congress has granted under the law.

00:35:10.700 Doge will work with these legal experts embedded in government agencies aided by advanced technologies

00:35:18.780 to apply these rulings to federal regulations enacted by such agencies.

00:35:24.800 Doge will present this list of regulations to President Trump,

00:35:28.580 who can, by executive action, immediately pause the enforcement of those regulations and initiate the process for review.

00:35:37.080 This is this will liberate individuals and businesses from illicit regulations never passed by Congress

00:35:43.360 and stimulate the U.S. economy.

00:35:45.800 Now, they go on to say once they cut all these regulations.

00:35:49.540 What are all those people in the agencies going to do?

00:35:53.160 Because they won't have to enforce these regulations.

00:35:56.860 A lot of the bureaucracy is just going to be sitting around twiddling their fingers.

00:36:01.520 So they say the next step is first we're going to fire everybody.

00:36:06.820 Do you know that I think it's like 80 percent of the government buildings now are still empty because of COVID?

00:36:12.380 People are not going into work.

00:36:13.680 Federal employees are not going into work.

00:36:15.600 They're still allowed to stay at home.

00:36:17.400 You know, that was called essential workers only.

00:36:24.060 That tells me 80 percent of our government, they're not really essential.

00:36:28.260 If you're not showing up to work and you haven't been to work since 2021,

00:36:33.000 I don't think anybody's going to miss you.

00:36:35.540 I mean, some of them are working at home, obviously, in theory.

00:36:38.000 In theory.

00:36:38.780 But yeah, in theory.

00:36:39.980 Right.

00:36:40.260 And what I think is interesting about this, Glenn, this approach,

00:36:42.960 is if you can do this and you and you wind up, say, let's say, cutting half the staff of an agency.

00:36:48.440 Yeah.

00:36:49.020 It's tough to get rid of a program because Congress has maybe authorized it.

00:36:54.060 And maybe they've authorized a billion dollars to serve, you know, a million people.

00:36:58.540 Right.

00:36:59.060 If you can go in there, though, and serve those same million people,

00:37:02.440 but the cost is only, let's say, five hundred million dollars instead of a billion.

00:37:09.120 If you can do that, then when you go to re-up that program, you no longer need to request that much money.

00:37:15.480 Right.

00:37:15.900 And like it will, you can get massive, not only one year savings, but year after year after year after year on these programs.

00:37:24.140 And that's just one way that they're going to be able to cut if they can do this.

00:37:28.080 And I don't know.

00:37:28.800 Reading this, I'm pretty optimistic.

00:37:30.340 I know.

00:37:30.800 Even without relying on what the, you know, the Supreme Court question will have to decide.

00:37:36.500 Doge will help end federal overspending by taking aim at the five hundred billion dollar plus annual federal expenditures

00:37:44.280 that are unauthorized by Congress or being used in ways that Congress never intended.

00:37:49.160 Five hundred billion, half a trillion dollars just on doing things that, no, we're not going to pay for Planned Parenthood.

00:37:57.660 That was never Congress's intention.

00:38:00.040 We're not doing anything, including, you ready, the five hundred and thirty five million dollars a year

00:38:06.460 to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

00:38:10.500 Finally, PBS and the one point five billion dollars for grants to international organizations,

00:38:19.160 to nearly three hundred million to progressive groups like Planned Parenthood.

00:38:24.180 That's one of the things that you just want to cut right off the bat.

00:38:27.440 That was never authorized by Congress.

00:38:29.780 It's over.

00:38:31.680 We'll get into this later today, or you can read it at Glenn Beck dot com.

00:38:36.500 Just just grab today's newsletter.

00:38:41.120 The Doge plan to reform government.

00:38:43.960 Back in just a second.

00:38:45.500 For a moment, I want you to think about what it would look like to be out of debt.

00:38:49.780 I hate debt.

00:38:52.440 I lose sleep over two things and only two things.

00:38:56.700 My family and debt.

00:38:59.660 Those two things keep me awake all night, tossing and turning.

00:39:03.360 If you have high interest credit cards, I don't know how you sleep because it's impossible.

00:39:10.820 And I know because I've been there before.

00:39:13.380 You're talking about something that can now help you offset some of the cost of inflation.

00:39:18.500 If you could get that debt down, the high interest debt, it's not a fantasy.

00:39:35.660 OK, and if they weren't if they if you didn't say you worked for me, it would have been quick.

00:39:40.460 But they were like, oh, we love.

00:39:42.940 I love that.

00:39:43.900 They're so great.

00:39:44.580 Don't tell them that.

00:40:18.620 All right, here's a question for you.

00:40:32.020 Are you ready to secure the future of your American values for generations to come?

00:40:36.300 And you know whether or not your investments are aligned with that goal.

00:40:39.620 Donald Trump won.

00:40:40.460 We've turned a corner.

00:40:41.300 That's great.

00:40:41.960 But the work, of course, doesn't stop there.

00:40:43.860 There's a ton of leftist nonsense to root out.

00:40:46.420 Did you see the Jaguar ad this week?

00:41:20.320 I mean, this is some pretty standard stuff, right, that you'd want.

00:41:23.200 You would want your investments to align with your belief system.

00:42:26.760 Man, it's weird.

00:42:27.720 I'm so used to saying home for the holidays.

00:42:29.380 Anyways, and intentionally we named it home for Christmas.

00:42:34.960 I don't know if you saw this, but there was a Democratic strategist that was on with a former Obama advisor on a podcast.

00:42:41.800 And she came up with why Kamala Harris's episode on Call Her Daddy failed.

00:42:48.660 And she said, well, that's because, I mean, you know, she was talking about too much politics.

00:42:56.480 And instead, they should have done more of, you know, what Call Her Daddy does.

00:43:03.500 Now, I just, I just like to, okay.

00:43:06.280 The interview was 44 minutes long.

00:43:08.480 The average interview for Call Her Daddy is about, I think, about seven, but sometimes she does longer form.

00:43:18.180 Over the years, she's done a longer form with ex-porn star, Playboy Bunny, and TikToker Madison Lewis.

00:43:27.580 Well, what are you going to, I mean, first of all, that's all about sex.

00:43:31.680 Yes, and I don't want to hear a single question or answer about sex or hotness from Kamala Harris or Donald Trump or any of them, quite frankly.

00:43:45.880 No, thank you.

00:43:46.480 Would have been a disaster.

00:43:49.080 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:52.060 Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:45:57.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:46:01.480 Hello, America.

00:46:02.900 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:46:04.120 There's a lot going on in the world.

00:46:06.240 We're going to cover it all.

00:46:07.680 And kind of also, I want to talk to you about, again, the miracle that we have all just witnessed.

00:46:15.800 I don't think we should forget this.

00:46:17.920 We go there in 60 seconds.

00:46:19.900 Mantis X, there's a sign in a restroom hanging right there where you can see it.

00:46:23.920 It says, my aim is to keep this bathroom clean.

00:46:27.720 Your aim will help.

00:46:29.540 Truer words were never spoken.

00:46:31.180 I guess when you were a kid, it would have helped to have a little device to show where

00:46:35.600 that aim was going.

00:46:37.000 But now you got it down because you practice every day.

00:46:40.800 If you have a gun and you want your aim accurate, you have to practice all the time.

00:46:47.340 Now, doing that with a gun and not racking up huge expenses in ammunition is really tough.

00:46:54.080 Mantis X has just made it super easy.

00:46:56.400 This is a high-tech, easy-to-use system used widely by the military.

00:47:00.980 This is different than shooting at a target.

00:47:03.380 You can aim it at anything.

00:47:05.080 You can aim it at a corner of a room and it will tell you what you're doing wrong.

00:47:10.040 How steady is your hand?

00:47:12.280 When you go to pull the trigger, even if you're dry firing, what happens to the gun?

00:47:16.860 Are you pulling it down, pulling it to the left, to the right?

00:47:19.280 What happens to the aim?

00:47:21.360 And it shows you in real time after you've connected it through Bluetooth to either your

00:47:26.160 phone or your tablet.

00:47:44.080 So, Stu, how old were you in 1985?

00:47:47.620 I was nine.

00:47:48.400 You were nine.

00:47:49.200 So, you were probably just, you remember Reagan, clearly.

00:47:53.220 Yeah.

00:47:53.580 Yeah.

00:47:53.940 I mean, Back to the Future, one of my all-time favorite movies came out in November 5th,

00:47:57.540 1955, 1985.

00:48:00.020 Yeah.

00:48:00.160 Right.

00:48:00.340 That was the year that it took place.

00:48:02.680 Okay.

00:48:03.220 So, I remember that distinctly.

00:48:04.540 And do you have real memories of the Cold War?

00:48:08.200 Yeah, for sure.

00:48:08.920 I mean, of course, Rocky IV, the movie that ended the Cold War.

00:48:12.060 Outside of movies.

00:48:13.140 I mean, you can set those timelines in your life, right?

00:48:16.340 So, there was a guy that, I don't know if you would have remembered, he was a comedian,

00:48:22.240 and he came from around the Iron Curtain.

00:48:25.920 And he and his family got out of the former Soviet Union.

00:48:29.620 He became a huge hit at the time because we really didn't see former Soviet citizens,

00:48:36.720 and especially ones that could tell jokes.

00:48:39.560 And his name was Yakov Smirnoff.

00:48:41.020 Oh, yeah.

00:48:41.400 You remember him?

00:48:41.940 Oh, yeah.

00:48:42.120 Mm-hmm.

00:48:42.620 I just saw something from him the other day about Thanksgiving.

00:48:48.480 And I haven't seen this.

00:48:50.840 I don't know if I even saw it in 1985, but it's worth listening to.

00:48:55.000 Here he is, Yakov Smirnoff, just fresh from the Soviet Union, talking about Thanksgiving.

00:49:03.000 Listen to this.

00:49:03.580 It's Thanksgiving, and I'll tell you, it's my favorite holiday.

00:49:07.760 I like parades without missiles.

00:49:10.920 When I first was explaining about Thanksgiving in America, I said, wait a minute, it doesn't

00:49:15.040 make sense.

00:49:16.160 I mean, for every freedom and all the opportunities that you got here, the only thing you got to

00:49:20.380 say is thanks.

00:49:22.380 It just didn't seem like it was enough.

00:49:24.180 Now, my parents and I had our first Thanksgiving dinner in a little apartment in New York, and

00:49:30.280 we joined hands, and my father said a prayer to good food and our health, and then something

00:49:35.680 happened.

00:49:36.840 Instead of releasing our hands, we couldn't let go.

00:49:40.300 We kept holding on to each other tighter and tighter, and we realized we were together

00:49:45.240 and we were free, really free.

00:49:47.540 And here we were, three grown people, looking for a way we could possibly show our appreciation,

00:49:53.740 and we couldn't.

00:49:56.500 Now I know what it is.

00:49:57.880 It's thanks.

00:50:00.480 Good night.

00:50:02.500 If you're watching it, you can see that he tears up at the end.

00:50:08.660 He, there's no words to express thanks, and we have lost, we've lost that, the deep, deep

00:50:19.000 gratitude for our lives.

00:50:22.500 I have felt it over the last year, unlike I've ever felt gratitude for my freedom, my safety,

00:50:32.660 my family's safety, being born here, and now, especially after the election, you know, God,

00:50:45.560 miracles can happen in your life all the time.

00:50:48.500 Just, quote, chance encounters.

00:50:51.720 Is it a chance encounter, or is that an answer to a prayer?

00:50:55.780 Is that divine providence?

00:51:00.600 Miracles come when there's really no other explanation, when something that just, you all

00:51:09.220 have agreed that just can't happen, happens.

00:51:12.700 Donald Trump, getting shot at, so close that the camera picks the bullet up, speeding toward

00:51:24.500 his head, and just before it goes into his head, he moves his head in a way he never does

00:51:31.840 before, and it clips his ear instead of going right into the temple.

00:51:38.000 That doesn't happen.

00:51:39.400 That doesn't happen.

00:51:42.220 To have a politician or a guy who is constantly beat on, constantly smeared, had more investigations

00:51:54.640 done on him than I, and I believe this to be true.

00:51:57.720 I'd love to see an actual study on this.

00:51:59.740 Somebody who had more investigations, more spies on him, more, you know, going through

00:52:08.280 the trash and everything else, more than anyone else in human history by far, because every

00:52:16.240 spy agency in the world did that.

00:52:21.080 And then they went back and said, there's got to be something else.

00:52:24.900 For him to just continue to stand, and then when somebody tries to kill him, his first

00:52:33.600 response is, stand up.

00:52:37.160 And then for him not to be angry, but instead to be humbled, what are the odds there?

00:52:47.500 For him to continue to go on, and in fact, continue to stand, do you know, his plane was targeted.

00:52:59.340 His plane was targeted.

00:53:01.120 We know that there are surface-to-air missiles.

00:53:03.860 We know that he was going to be targeted by foreign entities that are here.

00:53:08.780 For him to get on, just get on his plane every time, the man knew he was risking his life.

00:53:18.380 For him to run the campaign that he ran in the last eight months, you remember what it

00:53:23.880 was like?

00:53:24.820 It was all, you know, they're after me and all of this stuff, because they were after him.

00:53:31.420 But should you notice, after the assassination attempt, when he could have said, ah, instead,

00:53:40.840 he had a much more uniting message, and a happier message, and a positive message, and

00:53:47.460 then for all of these people to come out of the woodwork and start to say, you know what?

00:53:53.320 This is evil.

00:53:54.280 I heard more talk from people who are not Christians.

00:53:57.380 More talk from people going, there is something seriously wrong, and I think it's evil, what's

00:54:03.440 going on.

00:54:05.900 America woke up.

00:54:09.600 I've been doing this for 50 years on the radio, almost 50 years.

00:54:14.080 I've been doing this, warning people for 24 years.

00:54:21.480 I didn't think you'd wake up.

00:54:23.420 Stu's brought it up.

00:54:24.500 You know, our theme is, you know, stand up.

00:54:27.380 We wrote that theme four years ago, because if you don't stand up, we're done.

00:54:33.340 And we put that on, and I tried to make that an encouraging thing to convince people, you

00:54:38.700 got to stand up.

00:54:39.600 Right now, we're going to lose everything.

00:54:41.100 You got to stand up.

00:54:42.120 It's okay to stand up.

00:54:43.200 It's the only way.

00:54:44.480 You stood up.

00:54:45.760 After 24 years of the same message coming from me in different ways, where I had lost hope.

00:54:58.580 I mean, I said to you all last year, we got to find God.

00:55:03.340 We got to be people where God thinks, you know what?

00:55:08.540 They're worth saving.

00:55:10.700 I said to you over and over again, I can come up with a million ways this is going to go wrong,

00:55:15.840 but there's only one path for it to succeed, and that is God.

00:55:22.440 And he showed up.

00:55:30.780 He showed up.

00:55:33.600 He's not done with us.

00:55:36.100 He should be.

00:55:37.420 Honestly, he should be.

00:55:38.620 With everything that we do, for as big as a miracle that is, I think a lot of people,

00:55:45.880 I mean, I heard it right after the election.

00:55:47.540 Wow, that was a miracle.

00:55:51.060 And people meant it as a literal miracle.

00:55:52.960 That was a miracle.

00:55:55.720 Yeah, it was.

00:56:00.860 Next week, will we even remember it by next Thursday?

00:56:05.860 Or will we make the holiday that was built to humble ourselves and to thank God for our blessings?

00:56:20.780 Will we even remember the massive miracle?

00:56:25.040 Stu, would you agree one of the biggest miracles you've seen in your life for America?

00:56:29.100 I mean, that was a miracle that that happened in the way that it did.

00:56:36.380 All of a sudden, the messaging was right.

00:56:38.100 All of the right things fell into place.

00:56:40.980 You know, for the first time ever, the GOP was serious on their ground game.

00:56:46.680 I mean, all of these things that happened.

00:56:48.800 I thought you were just referring to him turning his head.

00:56:51.360 Yeah.

00:56:52.140 And that all of that from that moment on, all of that was a miracle.

00:56:59.100 Now, let's not forget that next week.

00:57:05.780 He's not done with us.

00:57:09.620 You know, I heard somebody say to me on election day, I feel really good.

00:57:14.680 I feel really good.

00:57:15.680 I'm cautious, but I feel really good.

00:57:18.560 And here's why.

00:57:19.200 Why would he, recognizing the miracle of the assassination attempt,

00:57:24.460 why would he save Donald Trump only to not save it now?

00:57:35.560 I couldn't think of a reason.

00:57:38.180 Other than I don't understand the mind of God.

00:57:41.880 Think of this miracle.

00:57:43.220 If Donald Trump would have won in 2020, it would have been more of the first term.

00:57:51.160 We wouldn't get what we're about to get now.

00:57:54.420 We wouldn't get the reduction of the government.

00:57:57.900 We wouldn't get possibly the closing down of some agencies, of cutting these agencies in half.

00:58:05.540 We wouldn't have gotten those things.

00:58:07.520 We wouldn't have had Elon Musk.

00:58:08.880 We wouldn't have had Vivek Ramaswamy.

00:58:12.280 We wouldn't have known.

00:58:14.200 Remember, they didn't start cutting our children until the Biden administration.

00:58:19.820 None of us had any idea about all this transgender stuff because that and DEI, if you brought it up,

00:58:29.540 it wasn't being done, at least as openly, but it was all set to go.

00:58:35.620 It wasn't being done until Biden got in.

00:58:38.600 And then when we said, what the hell is all this?

00:58:40.740 They said it was a conspiracy theory.

00:58:42.680 And it took us three years to go.

00:58:45.060 No, it's not.

00:58:46.460 It's not a conspiracy theory.

00:58:48.220 And it's deadly.

00:58:49.980 It took us three years before the doctors even started to turn.

00:58:55.760 It took COVID to wake people up.

00:58:58.660 There is no bad.

00:59:01.140 There really, my father used to say this to me, Glenn, there is no bad.

00:59:03.860 It's what do you do with the bad things that happen to you?

00:59:08.700 You can either wallow in and say, oh, that was bad.

00:59:13.100 Or you could recognize that sucked.

00:59:16.080 But what did I learn from it?

00:59:18.600 What did I take?

00:59:19.940 How can I take that and turn that into a blessing?

00:59:22.940 COVID was a blessing in the end because it woke people up.

00:59:34.140 Tomorrow I have some surgery.

00:59:35.840 Then I go on vacation.

00:59:37.440 It's not a big surgery.

00:59:38.680 It's just I have facial surgery again because I guess I'm out of room on my face for more cancer.

00:59:45.800 So they got to take some cancer off my face so I can grow new cancer.

00:59:49.380 I don't know.

00:59:50.780 This never ends.

00:59:51.780 But this is my last chance to talk to you before Thanksgiving.

00:59:57.460 And this is my last chance before Thanksgiving to sincerely thank the Lord for showing up,

01:00:10.200 for sincerely blessing our country, for showing me a miracle too.

01:00:18.480 One that I saw in North Carolina where people were standing because God told them,

01:00:26.280 come from across the country.

01:00:28.260 I know you don't know anybody.

01:00:30.220 I know you don't think you're going to be able to make a difference.

01:00:33.680 But just go.

01:00:35.340 And they got in their cars and they drove across the country.

01:00:39.280 And those people were put to work in ways that I couldn't have served.

01:00:44.100 Maybe you couldn't have served.

01:00:45.440 But they actually did it.

01:00:48.620 And God worked a miracle.

01:00:51.880 And then he worked this.

01:00:55.520 Please, even if it is just holding the hands around the table just for an extra minute,

01:01:04.880 there is nothing that we can say to him more meaningful than just,

01:01:15.440 thank you.

01:01:18.220 Thank you, Lord, for an incredible experience.

01:01:23.200 Thank you for letting us live at this time to be in your service.

01:01:30.880 Thank you for waking us up.

01:01:34.940 Thank you for giving us the reason to stand.

01:03:01.140 10 seconds, Station ID.

01:03:11.980 We're gliding along with a song of a wintry bag.

01:03:16.240 We land just here.

01:03:17.800 Those sleigh bells jingling ring ting tingling too.

01:03:22.360 So, because I was on YouTube and I saw the Yakov Shmirnov.

01:03:26.600 Next, it just auto-fed Norm Macdonald.

01:03:31.460 And I just found this.

01:03:32.600 It's not timely, but I just found this really, really funny from Norm Macdonald.

01:03:37.700 Cut two.

01:03:38.000 There is one country that worries me, though.

01:03:40.620 Not Iraq, not Iran, not North Korea.

01:03:43.320 The only country that really worries me is the country of Germany.

01:03:48.500 I don't know if you guys are history buffs or not, but...

01:03:51.520 In the early part of the previous century, Germany decided to go to war.

01:04:03.360 And who did they go to war with?

01:04:05.580 The world.

01:04:09.540 That had never been tried before.

01:04:11.400 And so you figure that would take about five seconds for the world to win,

01:04:17.620 but no, it was actually close.

01:04:26.680 Then about 30 years pass,

01:04:30.680 and Germany decides again to go to war,

01:04:33.940 and again it chooses as its enemy the world.

01:04:37.140 And this time they have that guy,

01:04:42.940 scrankly, scrankly, that guy.

01:04:45.420 I'm not even going to dignify him by saying his name,

01:04:48.420 but I think you know I'm done.

01:04:54.680 But you'd think at that point the world would go,

01:04:56.940 listen, Germany, here's the deal.

01:04:59.540 You don't get to be a country no more

01:05:01.260 on account of you keep attacking the world.

01:05:10.000 It's a fair point.

01:05:11.180 Oh, yeah.

01:05:11.880 You know, when he first came out,

01:05:13.440 I didn't find him funny.

01:05:14.800 On Saturday Night Live,

01:05:16.720 he would do, didn't he, wasn't he?

01:05:18.220 Yeah, he was the news desk guy.

01:05:19.220 And he was so dry,

01:05:20.460 and I was much younger,

01:05:21.840 and really didn't understand his humor.

01:05:24.320 I thought, this guy is lousy.

01:05:26.200 He is, he's hysterical.

01:05:27.960 I was so wrong.

01:05:28.860 He is, was hysterical.

01:05:31.740 Yeah, he's, and he's like the comedian's comedian

01:05:34.160 of all time.

01:05:34.920 Yeah.

01:05:35.100 Yeah, like every comedian thinks he's

01:05:36.920 the greatest thing of all time.

01:05:38.020 And he is pretty great.

01:05:39.460 And is that because,

01:05:40.020 and is that because he was such a nice guy too?

01:05:42.600 I do think he, people liked him,

01:05:44.560 but I think it was also just like he kept doing it.

01:05:48.260 Like, you know, his departure from Saturday Night Live

01:05:51.000 famously had to do with him just continually,

01:05:53.960 continually telling OJ jokes,

01:05:56.840 despite the fact that OJ had really good friends

01:06:00.100 at the network.

01:06:00.980 Yeah.

01:06:01.380 And he just kept doing it and doing it and doing it.

01:06:04.220 It would not stop and would not give in.

01:06:06.640 And then eventually it could cost him his job.

01:06:09.600 But, you know.

01:06:10.120 That kind of sounds familiar.

01:06:11.740 Hmm.

01:06:14.940 Yeah?

01:06:15.620 Yeah.

01:06:16.220 Mm-hmm.

01:06:16.780 Don't say that anymore.

01:06:18.080 Don't say that anymore.

01:06:19.180 Mm-hmm.

01:06:19.420 Don't say that anymore.

01:06:20.640 Mm-hmm.

01:06:21.320 Eh.

01:06:21.920 Eh.

01:06:23.360 Sucks to be you.

01:06:24.500 You know, I like people like that.

01:06:25.960 I know.

01:06:26.140 I do too.

01:06:26.460 I like those stories.

01:06:27.340 I do too.

01:06:28.440 I do too.

01:06:29.640 All right.

01:06:30.260 I want to continue our conversation on Thanksgiving here in just a second.

01:06:34.520 Um, because there's, there's a couple of things where the view ladies again, but something

01:06:40.360 else bigger than that.

01:06:41.700 They're, they're telling you to skip your family gatherings.

01:06:46.100 If they, if your family voted differently.

01:06:49.140 All right.

01:06:49.600 Let me tell you about relief factor sleep.

01:06:51.140 A lot of things that may keep you from going to sleep at night.

01:06:53.640 Uh, maybe you're, you know, you're going to their families or someplace and you're going

01:06:57.100 to be sleeping on a really uncomfortable bed or one that you don't know.

01:07:01.600 It's like a Desi Arnaz and Lucille ball bed.

01:07:04.600 You're like, how did people fit on these beds?

01:07:07.660 Maybe it's because I'm fatter now.

01:07:10.780 Um, but we are, we are looking now at, uh, a time where we got to get our sleep.

01:07:18.360 Um, you might have a hard time sleeping.

01:07:20.920 Uh, we're short few weeks away from, you know, what we could be living in the handmaid's

01:07:25.420 tale.

01:07:26.440 Um, gosh, that would keep me up at night.

01:07:28.460 If I believe that maybe you believe it, or I have a friend who believes that give them

01:07:32.200 relief factor.

01:07:33.120 Try it yourself.

01:07:33.920 Tanya takes it every night.

01:07:34.920 I take it.

01:07:35.480 I've been taking it every night lately.

01:07:37.880 Um, but it, it's all natural.

01:07:40.120 There's not a drug.

01:07:41.000 It doesn't dope you up.

01:07:42.380 You, you don't, it's, it's just like, it's, it's not Benadryl or, or anything, you know,

01:07:47.400 stronger than that.

01:07:48.240 It's just not, it's natural.

01:07:49.820 Uh, and it works for me.

01:08:10.440 Maybe it's much too early in the game.

01:08:38.440 Oh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same.

01:08:46.040 What are you doing New Year's?

01:08:52.220 New Year's Eve.

01:08:56.440 So the holidays are such an important time for us to be able to come back together at the table.

01:09:12.140 Um, and there are people on, on all sides saying, I can't, I can't get back together with my family.

01:09:17.480 Let me tell you something.

01:09:22.440 My family has, my traditional family, you know, from way back when I was growing up, my, my family.

01:09:30.980 And now my family extended and, and even, you know, with me and my kids, we've gone through really rough times.

01:09:38.980 Uh, and we are in the struggle of holding absolutely everything together.

01:09:53.100 And it is hard, but it is worth it in the end.

01:09:59.560 My biggest fear, honestly, is becoming my dad.

01:10:05.360 I always wanted to be my dad in many ways because he was always very open-minded and he was really, really brilliant.

01:10:12.760 Um, he always questioned everything.

01:10:14.920 He was very tolerant.

01:10:17.980 Uh, and he was hardworking.

01:10:21.260 But in the end, he just became very, very bitter.

01:10:31.980 Uh, and the family, I mean, he just blew up the family at the end.

01:10:39.400 And my biggest fear is becoming my father.

01:10:44.980 And I just, I was awake all last night.

01:10:48.600 Just thinking about that.

01:10:49.800 All night, I tossed and turned for maybe three hours just thinking about that.

01:10:53.420 Because our family is just, we're having, you know, problems.

01:10:57.740 And, uh, all I want is my family to be together.

01:11:06.200 Be together for the holidays, be together for Christmas.

01:11:09.500 And even if we're mad at each other or whatever, still, just,

01:11:14.360 family is the only thing you have at the end of your life.

01:11:16.800 That's it.

01:11:19.800 And so people are now encouraging others, the ladies on The View.

01:11:29.740 At least they disagreed on this, on skipping family Thanksgiving.

01:11:34.500 Play Cut 12.

01:11:35.420 Let me just play this real quick.

01:11:36.420 Whatever your reason is, I would never let my politics be the reason I don't show up to see my family.

01:11:42.360 Because they won't always be there.

01:11:43.940 I'm going to disagree.

01:11:44.600 I completely understand her point.

01:11:47.700 Because I really do feel that this candidate, you know, President-elect Trump, is just a different type of candidate.

01:11:55.220 From the things he's said and the things he's done and the things he will do, it's more of a moral issue for me.

01:12:03.220 And I think it's more of a moral issue for other people.

01:12:05.840 We're just, you know, I would say it was different when, let's say, Bush got elected.

01:12:11.560 You know, you may not have agreed with his policies, but you didn't feel like he was a deeply flawed person.

01:12:17.620 Deeply flawed by character, deeply flawed in morality.

01:12:20.880 I think a lot of devs called him deeply flawed and humanized him.

01:12:24.000 Hey, stop.

01:12:25.400 So, going back and forth on this.

01:12:28.620 First of all, if, no matter which side you're on, I think we can say it's a moral issue.

01:12:38.780 On both sides, you can say it's a moral issue.

01:12:41.760 He's Hitler.

01:12:42.580 Well, he's not.

01:12:43.440 But if you really believe he's Hitler, it's a deeply moral issue.

01:12:46.520 But it was a deeply moral issue on our side, too.

01:12:51.180 Your candidate was for killing babies all the way up until and, in some cases, after birth.

01:13:03.580 There can't be a bigger moral issue.

01:13:05.540 Your candidate was going after people because they disagreed with them.

01:13:12.180 They called Catholics and parents showing up at parent meetings at school and called them terrorists.

01:13:21.940 It was a deeply moral issue for us, too.

01:13:25.480 You're mutilating children.

01:13:27.880 So, don't take the moral high ground that you were the only ones that thought it was a moral issue.

01:13:33.880 We did, too.

01:13:34.500 We just disagreed.

01:13:36.300 Now, what does that have to do with me being your father, your uncle, or your brother, your dad?

01:13:45.740 What does that have to do with anything?

01:13:50.760 Because this, too, shall pass, but what won't pass ever throughout all of the eternities is our relationship with one another.

01:13:59.460 We have become so small that we think that this is the most important thing.

01:14:17.020 It's not.

01:14:18.740 Do you know who Shamika Michelle is?

01:14:21.400 She's on the Jason Whitlock show.

01:14:23.760 Yeah.

01:14:23.880 She posted something the other day.

01:14:26.900 She said, I have a, air quotes, friend who wasn't sure how to hold space for me.

01:14:32.940 Those are in quotes.

01:14:34.220 As someone who supported Trump.

01:14:36.380 After the election, she stated she needed to protect her peace, and we haven't spoken since.

01:14:43.800 When she comes to her senses, and I know she will, should I welcome her back with open arms?

01:14:49.340 Because, honestly, I'm thinking about giving her the finger, like, F you.

01:14:55.380 After everything we've been through, you sided with baby killers and those willing to castrate kids.

01:15:00.440 Go to hell.

01:15:03.000 She asked for thoughts.

01:15:04.600 And so, Shamika, if I may, I understand how you feel.

01:15:08.300 I really do.

01:15:09.440 I really, really do.

01:15:10.620 But I think maybe because my family has been divided politically for so long because of what I do, you know, it started way before, you know, it started with Barack Obama.

01:15:25.000 No, it started with George Bush.

01:15:28.280 And so, I've been going through this the whole time that I've kind of built up maybe a little bit more armor.

01:15:33.760 Whatever.

01:15:35.040 Whatever.

01:15:35.980 It doesn't, whatever.

01:15:38.460 This is not important.

01:15:40.620 I'm not going to argue with you.

01:15:42.580 And I'm not going to try to change your mind.

01:15:44.180 I'm going to try to be a peacemaker.

01:15:46.800 You know, last, one of the holidays, no, it was during our family reunion.

01:15:50.760 There are two members of my family that vote radically different than me and see life radically different than I do.

01:15:57.680 But I love them.

01:15:58.920 They're good people.

01:15:59.860 I just love them.

01:16:01.760 And, you know, they were like, you know, Uncle Glenn, we can talk to you.

01:16:09.220 We just want to understand some things.

01:16:11.600 And I'm like, good, because I want to understand some things too.

01:16:14.180 And we just had a really good open conversation where neither of us were trying to win.

01:16:20.480 We were just trying to understand each other.

01:16:22.660 Because we knew in the end we will always be related to each other.

01:16:28.780 And I don't have enough family to blow them off.

01:16:35.560 You know, it's not like my grandfather.

01:16:37.820 I think my grandmother had 18 children.

01:16:41.400 14 of them lived.

01:16:42.680 And I don't have that.

01:16:46.720 I have two sisters.

01:16:49.320 I have a few nieces and nephews.

01:16:51.660 I have two grandchildren.

01:16:53.540 I have four children.

01:16:55.400 I don't have enough.

01:16:58.140 They're all valuable to me.

01:16:59.720 So, I would ask, and it will be easier for us because we're the winners this time.

01:17:10.640 So, it'll be easier for us to say, you know, get over it.

01:17:13.860 What's the big deal?

01:17:15.020 It's still a big deal to people.

01:17:17.260 And you really have to understand, you know, if you've read my book, Propaganda Wars, you know the brainwashing that has gone on.

01:17:24.900 I mean, we talk about it in the book and we show you how to dismantle that in your own life to make sure you're not a part of it.

01:17:34.580 You're not spreading it and it hasn't affected you.

01:17:37.760 How to find the truth.

01:17:40.740 I actually feel sorry for not the ones who know what they're doing, but for the ones who actually believe that they're going to round people up that disagree with them.

01:17:53.100 Because I will be on the front lines.

01:17:56.200 And I think you could probably say this true.

01:17:58.180 If they started rounding people up because they disagreed, I will be on your side.

01:18:05.680 I will stand with you.

01:18:08.320 They start violating the Bill of Rights and it is in gross ways.

01:18:15.180 I am with you.

01:18:17.700 I'm for the Bill of Rights.

01:18:19.800 I'm for all of your rights.

01:18:21.740 I hope you're for all of mine.

01:18:25.580 We're going to disagree on policies.

01:18:27.820 We're going to disagree on how to get there.

01:18:30.720 But my there should be your there.

01:18:35.220 I believe all men are free.

01:18:37.240 All men are created equal.

01:18:39.620 You know, you come into this world equal.

01:18:41.860 You leave equal.

01:18:43.300 You leave with nothing except what you've done in your life and how you lived your life.

01:18:50.200 who you worshipped, how you worshipped.

01:18:53.620 Did you serve?

01:18:55.320 Did you ask for forgiveness?

01:18:57.880 Did you work that forgiveness in your life?

01:19:00.520 I have more stuff in my life to apologize for than to pat myself on the back or say,

01:19:13.000 well, thank you.

01:19:13.660 It was a great thing I did.

01:19:15.260 I have many more things to apologize for than any of that.

01:19:18.680 We're all flawed.

01:19:22.020 We're all just trying to figure it out.

01:19:24.500 We don't want to control people's lives.

01:19:32.680 Don't miss this opportunity.

01:19:35.160 Be the peacemaker.

01:19:37.280 Blessed be the peacemakers.

01:19:38.600 But remember, peacemakers are the ones who stand up for other people's long-term peace.

01:19:47.320 You may have to say things that are true, that are tough.

01:19:52.000 Don't give any ground on truth.

01:19:55.940 But there might be other ways to say the truth that they can hear it.

01:20:00.700 And you don't have to say everything.

01:20:05.540 But if you want to be a peacemaker, in your life, you have to stand for what is true, universally true.

01:20:14.040 So others, our children, our children's children, can have peace in their day.

01:20:21.520 That's what it means to be a peacemaker.

01:20:24.240 But when it comes to your family, don't ever listen to anybody who says, don't talk to your family.

01:20:31.860 That's what cults do.

01:20:36.500 More in a minute.

01:20:38.680 I want to tell you about the U.S. Army Specialist, Brett Menard.

01:20:42.500 He's a hero who enlisted after 9-11 because he wanted to be a part of something that really mattered.

01:20:47.560 Well, he was on a road-clearing mission in Afghanistan, and his vehicle was destroyed by an IED, and his life changed forever.

01:20:54.880 He's now a T4 paraplegic with traumatic brain injury, compartment syndrome in both of his arms, severe internal injuries.

01:21:03.300 He even needed complete facial reconstruction from all the damage the blast did.

01:21:07.940 This is a guy that knows the cost of freedom.

01:21:10.740 He comes back.

01:21:13.840 His body is completely broken, but his spirit is unbroken.

01:21:19.380 And I think you had a part to play in that.

01:21:21.940 The Tunnel to Towers Foundation stepped in and built him a specially adapted smart home.

01:21:26.140 It's mortgage-free so he can live a more independent life.

01:21:28.760 This is the mission that the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is on, to never forget 9-11.

01:21:34.340 Never abandon our heroes or forget them and their families.

01:21:39.260 They could use your help.

01:21:40.700 Would you be willing to donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers?

01:21:44.000 95 cents of every dollar goes directly to the service of these heroes.

01:21:49.240 Tunnel to Towers.

01:21:49.960 Their web address is t2t.org.

01:21:54.040 That's t2t.org.

01:21:58.120 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:00.640 A beautiful sight.

01:22:24.740 We're happy tonight.

01:22:26.980 Walking in a winter wonderland.

01:22:29.640 You know, you're going to have to sit through a lot of crap.

01:22:35.560 You just have to not care.

01:22:37.600 You have to keep thinking what's important when it comes to your family.

01:22:41.580 But you also have to realize the role you play in things.

01:22:46.320 I mean, our family's having problems last night.

01:22:48.680 I couldn't sleep last night because I know I played a role in some of this.

01:22:52.600 I know me.

01:22:54.580 I know myself well enough to know.

01:22:56.340 I, I've, you know, self-examined enough to know where my problem, where I still hide.

01:23:03.800 You know, we all have hiding places.

01:23:05.760 We have things that, you know, things get tough.

01:23:07.740 Maybe you hide or whatever.

01:23:09.980 Whatever your, your thing is, you got to recognize that when you come in with your family.

01:23:15.180 Because it's not just them.

01:23:16.860 It's you too.

01:23:19.260 Uh, but I say that because you also, hopefully your family can understand that too.

01:23:31.480 Everybody's so defensive on them, selves.

01:23:35.640 You don't know.

01:23:36.580 You don't know.

01:23:37.040 You don't understand me.

01:23:37.860 You don't know, blah, blah, blah.

01:23:39.600 You're right.

01:23:40.200 I don't because I didn't live your life, but you didn't live my life.

01:23:43.700 And there are things that I struggle with that I know are wrong.

01:23:47.600 I know there are mechanisms that, you know, were built in since childhood that I still try very hard to conquer.

01:23:55.520 And I haven't conquered them.

01:23:57.440 I just, I, I haven't conquered them.

01:24:00.040 And I, I, I, I feel like I'm completely alone on that.

01:24:09.900 And, and I don't want to whine about it.

01:24:14.500 I just want to be done with it.

01:24:16.940 But I can't seem to get past it.

01:24:19.800 And your family, if you don't feel that way, somebody else in your family feels that way.

01:24:24.780 And so some of the conflicts that we have in our family is because of the family dynamics and the dynamics that are set inside each one of us.

01:24:33.860 I just, I, I guess all I'm, all I really want to say is your family is worth it.

01:24:42.360 All I really want to say is it's going to be really hard to sit sometimes with, especially when, you know, your crazy uncle comes who has, you know, you know, they've been, they've been building camps.

01:24:54.860 And they've ordered all these coffins where they're going to put all the liberals.

01:24:59.340 I know, I know.

01:25:00.480 And you voted for the guy.

01:25:01.740 You're just going to, crazy uncle test.

01:25:04.100 Read the book.

01:25:04.620 Uh, you're going to have to sit through a lot of stuff, but I don't think in the end, because these times, remember, look at every time the world has gone insane.

01:25:16.760 It writes itself.

01:25:19.040 We just have to get to the port point to where it writes itself.

01:25:23.080 And it already is starting to write itself and return to truth.

01:25:28.020 When that happens, we can't hold grudges and we don't want to have massive scars more than we already do in our families, because trust me, the older you get, the only thing that matters is your family.

01:25:42.960 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:45.060 Let me tell you about my Patriot Supply.

01:25:46.920 Um, you know, there's problems in the nation.

01:25:49.240 Um, and I want to talk to you about a holiday gift.

01:25:51.340 I mean, most people think this is crazy, but I gave it to my kids.

01:25:54.720 Uh, yeah, you have a weird dad, but one that loves you, wants to make sure you're safe in case of an emergency.

01:26:01.320 Uh, you know, with all this talk about, ah, you could be vaporized on Christmas from Russia.

01:26:07.380 That's what they're really saying.

01:26:08.320 There could be nuclear war on Christmas.

01:26:10.480 I don't know.

01:26:11.480 Maybe we should just be a little prepared.

01:26:14.120 Order a three month emergency food kit from my Patriot Supply.

01:26:18.260 Every kit comes with really great foods.

01:26:21.240 And the entire kit offers over 2,000 calories a day and can last in storage for up to 25 years.

01:26:27.620 Who knows what things will look like then?

01:26:29.420 We'll all be robots.

01:26:59.560 Bye.

01:27:00.980 I'll be right back.

01:27:02.720 Bye.

01:27:03.600 Bye.

01:27:03.920 Bye.

01:27:05.140 Bye.

01:27:05.980 Bye.

01:27:18.320 Bye.

01:27:20.400 Welcome to the Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.

01:27:48.200 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:52.480 Hey, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're so glad you're here.

01:27:56.000 We have the creator and the director of The Chosen and a new movie,

01:28:00.920 The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, a must-see.

01:28:04.760 Dallas Jenkins joins us in 60 seconds.

01:28:07.680 First, let me tell you about the Berna Launcher.

01:28:09.800 As the holidays approach, it's essential to recognize that personal safety is a year-round priority.

01:28:15.460 Crime tends to spike around this time of the year.

01:28:18.200 I mean, who could guess why?

01:28:19.860 This holiday season, you should gift your loved ones with peace of mind

01:28:23.840 by giving them something that will actually keep them safe in situations where protection is needed,

01:28:28.640 but life-ending violence isn't called for.

01:28:31.300 Last Christmas, I gave every member of my family over 18 a Berna Launcher.

01:28:37.900 Now, my last child just turned 18.

01:28:40.860 She got hers as well.

01:28:42.100 It is a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home,

01:28:46.360 safeguarding yourself in your car, wherever you are.

01:28:48.920 It's legal in all 50 states.

01:28:51.220 No permits or background checks required.

01:28:53.400 It can be used by all ages over 18.

01:28:55.940 And it launches powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range.

01:29:02.520 It can take somebody down and put them on the ground for about 40 minutes.

01:29:20.060 Dallas Jenkins joins us.

01:29:23.440 Hello, Dallas.

01:29:24.020 How are you?

01:29:24.680 Good.

01:29:25.100 I'm actually wanting to write down what you were just talking about.

01:29:28.240 I'm like, this sounds great.

01:29:29.480 It is.

01:29:29.960 I'm telling you, every school should have these things.

01:29:32.700 Yes.

01:29:32.980 We were, you know, nobody wants to arm teachers.

01:29:36.220 If you put your hand around the corner outside the door and somebody's in the hallway,

01:29:41.900 yes, kids will be hit with tear gas, but nobody will die.

01:29:45.500 Yeah.

01:29:46.040 And the police can take that guy down.

01:29:48.420 Yeah.

01:29:48.540 It's, it's crazy.

01:29:50.180 No, I know.

01:29:50.580 It sounds amazing.

01:29:51.240 I'm, I'm literally going, I'm going to get this for my home.

01:29:54.220 Yeah.

01:29:54.380 Yeah.

01:29:54.560 They're great.

01:29:55.180 How are you?

01:29:55.680 I'm good.

01:29:56.180 I'm, I'm, here's the thing.

01:29:56.980 I'm looking at you and you're a handsome guy, but behind you is this big picture where

01:30:01.260 you look phenomenal and it's, and it's like, it's not good for you to put it right behind

01:30:06.700 you because then I'm like, wow, that's, wait a second.

01:30:09.100 There's a difference.

01:30:10.580 Like you're, you're like, you know, again, you look good in person too, but that's you happy

01:30:15.740 and rugged and handsome.

01:30:17.460 And I'm like, wait a minute.

01:30:19.560 There's a disconnect.

01:30:20.660 So tell me, tell me the, the story of the film best Christmas pageant ever.

01:30:26.280 I have, I have to admit to you, I have not seen it.

01:30:28.940 I've had others who have seen it and just rave about it.

01:30:32.320 I've seen the trailer.

01:30:33.420 This is before you ever sent me anything or, you know, what's going to become, I didn't

01:30:37.860 know who it was.

01:30:38.580 And I watched the trailer and I'm like, this looks fantastic.

01:30:43.040 It looks, it's a movie warming and funny and all of it.

01:30:47.280 And it's true.

01:30:47.920 And I really think, uh, you and I've talked before, this is, this is your kind of movie.

01:30:51.860 I really think you'd love it.

01:30:53.020 I read this book almost 20 years ago to my kids.

01:30:56.020 My wife brought it home and the first couple chapters I'm reading it.

01:30:59.460 Now this book's been around for 50 years.

01:31:00.900 I read it in public school, which is why I was so surprised by what happened when I read

01:31:05.340 it again to my kids.

01:31:07.180 First few chapters, I'm laughing.

01:31:08.760 It's very witty, very nostalgic, just a terrific story.

01:31:12.440 And I get to the last chapter and I'm going, I didn't remember how Jesus-y this was.

01:31:17.320 Like, I don't know how we got away with reading this in public school.

01:31:20.380 I guess it's because of the Christmas of it all.

01:31:22.540 But I get to the last chapter.

01:31:23.600 You grew up in Oklahoma?

01:31:24.860 Yeah, no.

01:31:26.360 Illinois.

01:31:27.360 Oh, wow.

01:31:28.060 Yeah, a little different.

01:31:28.800 Yeah, okay.

01:31:29.340 But, um, but anyway, the first, um, the story is the six Herdman kids, the worst kids

01:31:35.280 in the world, the ones that everyone is looking down on.

01:31:37.640 And this is, I just want to re-amphasize.

01:31:39.700 No, no, it's not.

01:31:40.220 It's not true.

01:31:41.020 No, no.

01:31:41.500 Okay.

01:31:41.820 Okay, okay.

01:31:42.260 Somebody told me it was a true story.

01:31:43.480 No, no, no.

01:31:43.960 Okay.

01:31:44.360 That's The Chosen.

01:31:45.220 Okay.

01:31:45.520 That's a true story.

01:31:48.420 But, uh, this, uh, she captures, it feels very real.

01:31:52.800 Okay.

01:31:52.920 It's very nostalgic.

01:31:53.920 It's, you remember the movie A Christmas Story?

01:31:55.900 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:31:56.280 Very much that feel to it.

01:31:57.860 But in this case, um, these six kids, they're, they're, they're on the wrong side of the tracks.

01:32:03.340 They're in poverty.

01:32:04.220 They're mean.

01:32:05.460 They're, they're feral.

01:32:06.520 People and, uh, this church in this town, uh, don't want them around and they hijack the

01:32:12.160 town's Christmas pageant and they take over the roles.

01:32:14.360 They bully the other kids into saying, we're going to play these roles of Mary and Joseph.

01:32:17.380 So of course everyone's scandalized and thinks it's going to be the worst Christmas pageant

01:32:20.580 ever.

01:32:20.820 Because they're so un-Christlike.

01:32:22.800 Right.

01:32:23.140 Yeah.

01:32:23.820 And, and, and so much like Mary and Joseph, like you can't have this awful girl playing

01:32:27.640 the mother Mary.

01:32:28.360 Mother Mary is beautiful and sweet and pretty and always looks clean.

01:32:31.560 So they get to the performance of the pageant and not, I don't want to give anything away.

01:32:35.040 Of course it is called the best Christmas pageant ever.

01:32:37.240 So, but we get to that last chapter.

01:32:39.460 I start crying so hard.

01:32:41.020 I can't see the pages.

01:32:42.500 My kids are looking at me like what is going on.

01:32:44.800 And my wife, Amanda goes, all right, give me the book.

01:32:46.560 Let me read it.

01:32:47.320 She starts reading.

01:32:47.940 She starts crying.

01:32:48.980 We're passing the book back and forth to each other while the other one recovers.

01:32:52.440 The story is just so beautiful because it's because of these kids' poverty, because of

01:32:57.780 their outsider status, they're actually closer to the heart of the true story than anyone

01:33:03.240 else is.

01:33:04.040 And so it ends up transforming this town and the town, of course.

01:33:08.220 So, so everyone is learning something new because these kids have never heard the story

01:33:11.520 before.

01:33:11.920 So they're asking all these questions.

01:33:13.060 Well, that's a better ending than I thought.

01:33:14.480 I thought it was that they, the, the, the, the people that were helping the kids actually

01:33:21.360 kind of changed the kids to have those kids transform the rest.

01:33:26.200 Right.

01:33:26.500 It's, it's, that's the thing that the church learns from these outsiders.

01:33:30.860 Cause we've, we've taken for granted the Christmas story and the Christmas pageants.

01:33:34.380 And we think of the, the sweet little nativity and, and the halo around everyone's head.

01:33:39.280 And these kids are going, wait a minute, why, why wouldn't they let a pregnant woman into

01:33:42.660 the end, you know, they had, and, and they're asking all these questions that we take for

01:33:45.980 granted.

01:33:46.580 And so their perspective on the story is just closer to the truth of it because of their

01:33:51.440 unique perspective and, and outsider status.

01:33:54.180 And so I, it just was so beautiful.

01:33:55.680 And it's, there's a very common, a connective thread between that and the chosen.

01:33:59.500 My passion has always been, and we've talked about this before.

01:34:03.140 I'm like, I'm taking, I'm taking Jesus and the apostles down from stained glass windows,

01:34:07.680 down from the pretty paintings that we've seen and trying to give you the most accurate,

01:34:12.460 direct portrayal of the humanity of these people and their true story.

01:34:17.220 And, and that's what really stood out to me about the best Christmas pageant ever.

01:34:20.000 Now it's, it's funny, it's witty.

01:34:21.740 It's a, it's a, it's a traditional Christmas classic, but it's got this, it's, it's probably

01:34:27.740 the only of the, of the movies that I would consider to be Christmas classics.

01:34:31.740 And hopefully this becomes one of them that really does put a spotlight on the true story

01:34:36.600 of Jesus, but in a fun way.

01:34:38.500 It's, it's, it's amazing to me how snotty Christians can get.

01:34:43.620 And maybe it's because they either, they either didn't have that kind of experience or didn't

01:34:51.480 need the redemption of Christ as much as others do.

01:34:55.360 But the, you know, Christ came for, for the ones that needed redemption and we all need

01:35:03.640 it, but needed the redemption really badly.

01:35:06.720 He, he was always around those kinds of kids.

01:35:09.920 He's saying, I came for the sick, not for the healthy.

01:35:11.920 Right.

01:35:12.240 And there's a line in the trailer and in the movie where the mom who's volunteering to

01:35:15.900 do this pageant, everyone in the church is telling her, no, just get rid of the herd

01:35:19.440 bins.

01:35:19.780 We need to protect our sacred Christmas pageant.

01:35:22.200 And at one point her daughter says, shouldn't we just get rid of them?

01:35:24.540 You know, and she says, I think that would contradict the whole point of the story.

01:35:30.720 And she says, the point of the story is that Jesus came for the herdman's as much as he

01:35:33.980 came for you and me.

01:35:35.180 He was, everybody in that story was rejected and despised.

01:35:38.660 Yes.

01:35:39.040 And there's also a moment where the herdman's walk out on stage and they are, they're wearing

01:35:44.260 the clothes they, they cobbled together at home to, to portray Mary and Joseph instead

01:35:50.180 of the pretty costumes that were given to them by the church.

01:35:53.760 Right.

01:35:54.540 And one of the girls in the choir who's against them goes, look at them.

01:35:58.200 They look like refugees.

01:35:59.640 And the main character's looking at them.

01:36:01.680 She goes, yeah, they do.

01:36:03.280 And she's smiling going, this is what Mary and Joseph were.

01:36:06.560 They were refugees.

01:36:07.480 They were outsiders.

01:36:08.600 So it's those kinds of moments that unlike, again, some of these other Christmas classics

01:36:14.120 that I love, you know, Elf and Christmas Story and some of these Home Alone, they're all great.

01:36:18.900 But this, this is a movie that has all those elements of humor and whatnot.

01:36:22.140 But then there's these moments where you go, oh my goodness, that's, that is the true story.

01:36:26.540 And I think to your point about Christians and those of us, especially here in America, I think

01:36:32.220 sometimes we, it's not that we need redemption less, if anything, we need it more.

01:36:37.320 But it's our awareness of our need, which sometimes goes away when you are living comfortably.

01:36:43.380 Comfort can oftentimes cause you to take for granted what, who came for us, not comfortable.

01:36:50.160 Jesus was born into a stable, into a rough environment, on the run, hiding, outsiders,

01:36:56.640 refugee, all that stuff.

01:36:57.800 He came as a suffering servant, not as a conquering king.

01:37:00.760 And we sometimes forget that.

01:37:02.940 And it's, it's remarkable to me, the best Christians, I put, I put a few people like

01:37:10.880 Billy Graham into other categories, but the best Christians that I have met, regular people,

01:37:15.560 are those people usually from the Middle East or from China.

01:37:20.640 Oh yeah.

01:37:21.180 The ones who are just like, they, oh, they, they have to know God because it's literally

01:37:28.240 all that gets them through their day.

01:37:30.420 Oh yeah.

01:37:30.940 I have a friend who's the, who runs this ministry called world relief.

01:37:35.320 And he said, the church in Iran is cool, man.

01:37:38.440 Oh, I bet it is.

01:37:39.340 He's like, they just, he's like, they're like, we just had another great bombing.

01:37:42.240 And they're like, what?

01:37:43.660 Like we had a bombing of one of our churches.

01:37:46.440 We've never been closer to God.

01:37:47.820 We've never been more desperate for him.

01:37:49.080 We've never, and I'm like, man, I, I, I, I hope, I wish I could reach that level of

01:37:54.400 passion and desperation without needing to be in, in, in oppressed.

01:37:58.140 I went to Iraq years ago and we were rescuing the cities and I was supposed to come pick

01:38:07.100 them up and then we're going to take them to some other country in Europe.

01:38:10.840 And, uh, so when I get on the plane in New York, I'm told you may not be able to go see

01:38:18.900 them because ISIS has just targeted the church at the time you're supposed to arrive and they're

01:38:25.180 having a final service.

01:38:26.680 And so I'm on the, I'm on the plane wondering, I mean, what am I going to do when we get there?

01:38:31.440 And I get there and they say, I said, so where are we meeting?

01:38:34.780 They like, Oh, at the church.

01:38:35.780 And I said, did ISIS and they said, no, they are, they're not changing their plans.

01:38:41.800 And I said, okay.

01:38:43.380 And then halfway through church, uh, uh, Russia said that they were going to start bombing that

01:38:49.940 city.

01:38:50.800 And, and I'm laughing just because it's like, this is not something we think about in America.

01:38:54.760 Right.

01:38:55.160 And I'm, I'm like, should we all maybe, is there a shelter around here?

01:38:58.800 They just kept singing and praying and they said to me, Oh, if we die, we're with God right

01:39:06.380 now, we're fine.

01:39:07.520 This is great.

01:39:08.680 It was amazing to see it.

01:39:10.900 Very humbling.

01:39:11.620 And, uh, and so that's, that's the kind of thing I'm hoping not only that it reaches me,

01:39:17.200 but the viewer, when I do the shows and when I do movie like best Christmas pageant ever,

01:39:20.880 it's, can we somehow remove these?

01:39:24.800 Sometimes it's religion.

01:39:25.940 Sometimes it's our sin.

01:39:26.880 Sometimes it's our art that gets us, gets us further away from that, what actually happened

01:39:33.620 and from that desperation and from that authenticity.

01:39:36.220 And so, yes, in this case, it's wrapped in a, in a fun PG rated Christmas, uh, movie, but

01:39:42.080 it's all the same intention of, um, man, I'd love to get that level of direct connection.

01:39:47.760 So connected to Jesus that everything around you is, is irrelevant.

01:39:51.900 And this is so important.

01:39:52.960 This Christmas, I mean, I've been fighting.

01:39:56.720 I've been fighting Santa and not in a bad, I didn't want to be that bad dad.

01:40:00.800 That's like, well, it's Santa, Santa.

01:40:03.140 Yeah.

01:40:03.260 You know, I had fun as a kid with Santa, but I, it was a different culture.

01:40:09.400 The culture said Christmas was about Jesus, not Santa.

01:40:13.780 And Santa was just the fun part.

01:40:15.800 Um, and, uh, it is so important.

01:40:18.460 And this is a fun way to bring your kids to the true story of Christmas.

01:40:24.020 Uh, it's called the best Christmas pageant ever.

01:40:27.400 It's in theaters.

01:40:28.520 Now, are you going to release it, uh, on video on demand before Christmas or not?

01:40:33.180 Just close to, too close to around Christmas.

01:40:35.040 Yeah.

01:40:35.380 Okay.

01:40:35.600 But I do hope that people go see it in theaters now.

01:40:37.560 We want it to last in theaters as long as possible.

01:40:39.780 But yes, eventually, uh, before, shortly before Christmas, it'll be available at home.

01:40:44.400 Yeah, I will tell you that to the, um, uh, it, it speaks a lot.

01:40:48.980 I think this came out November 5th.

01:40:50.620 8th.

01:40:51.000 Yeah.

01:40:51.260 Yeah.

01:40:51.460 Right after the election.

01:40:52.400 Yeah.

01:40:52.640 And you know, it is doing really well this early, uh, in New York times liked it, Glenn.

01:40:58.900 Like I got, it's got a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes.

01:41:02.380 Wow.

01:41:03.180 I know there's a glitch in the matrix, but there, there, there, there seems to be this reaction

01:41:07.720 of like, wow, this is this, this movie does take me to where Christmas should be about.

01:41:11.800 And it's been a really, really cool, really cool experience to see the reaction.

01:41:16.120 So you hang on just for a sec.

01:41:17.360 I have to take a one minute break.

01:41:18.560 We're with Dallas Jenkins, uh, creator, director of the chosen and the new movie must see the

01:41:23.580 best Christmas pageant ever.

01:41:25.820 See it this week in theaters.

01:41:27.320 It will be great to kick off the holiday and kind of also remind us, Hey, God just played

01:41:33.080 a big role in our lives here recently.

01:41:34.640 We saw some miracles.

01:41:35.980 Let's thank him.

01:41:37.140 Let's thank him for that.

01:41:38.600 Let me take 60 seconds to tell you about our sponsor.

01:41:41.060 It's Jace medical.

01:41:42.380 We are looking at a weird world.

01:41:45.440 It's, it's all changing.

01:41:46.720 And I think it's going to change for the better.

01:41:48.560 And in some ways where we're going to start making things that we should make and should

01:41:52.760 have been making here in America, um, and, and try to take our, our destiny back into our

01:41:59.260 own hands.

01:42:00.020 Somewhat 80% of the medicine that we take is coming from China.

01:42:04.420 What happens if we go to war with China?

01:42:08.800 What happens if there is another glitch in the system?

01:42:13.080 What happens when the trade barriers go up?

01:42:16.560 We, do we have that medicine coming in from China?

01:42:19.020 Do yourself and your family a favor, get a Jace case.

01:43:34.940 Please listen.

01:43:36.040 Don't miss out.

01:43:41.340 The annual Christmas pageant tickets are on sale now.

01:43:44.300 They're advertising it on TV now?

01:43:46.700 The pageant is an especially big deal this year.

01:43:50.320 It's the 75th anniversary.

01:43:52.580 I want to be a special mention to Grace for volunteering to direct it.

01:43:57.720 You did what?

01:43:58.980 Oh no.

01:44:00.040 Did somebody die?

01:44:01.060 It's worse than that, son.

01:44:02.440 It's going to be the best Christmas pageant ever.

01:44:06.320 Oh no.

01:44:07.300 It's the Hermans.

01:44:08.700 Now.

01:44:09.180 The Hermans are absolutely the worst kids in the history of the world.

01:44:16.860 What'd they do now, dear?

01:44:18.060 Break another window?

01:44:20.440 Set something on fire?

01:44:23.020 Steal your lunch and then punch you for not having any candy?

01:44:26.560 No, even worse.

01:44:29.800 We're going to be in your Bible play.

01:44:32.380 Herdmans in church.

01:44:34.780 Oh boy.

01:44:36.600 We take the pageant seriously.

01:44:38.680 It's about community.

01:44:39.720 And tradition.

01:44:41.240 What do you all suggest?

01:44:42.240 That I kick the Herdmans out of the church?

01:44:44.680 Yes.

01:44:45.860 I want to be Mary.

01:44:47.060 And Ralph wants to be Joe.

01:44:48.920 And the angel of the Lord?

01:44:50.240 Me!

01:44:51.980 Ow!

01:44:52.500 The Herdmans shouldn't be here.

01:44:58.820 They're a poor influence.

01:45:01.220 You don't look like any Mary I've seen before.

01:45:03.700 Don't touch him.

01:45:05.120 I'm happy to take over the part at any time.

01:45:07.700 I can't just kick him out.

01:45:10.660 I thought you all might be interested in one of my stops.

01:45:13.640 You never told me you visited the Herdmans.

01:45:15.780 I got the biggest hand for you guys.

01:45:17.460 Is your mom home?

01:45:18.740 Not when this stands up.

01:45:22.500 What if the Herdmans ruin this for you?

01:45:25.720 No, no, no!

01:45:26.720 They probably will.

01:45:28.060 But it's not about me.

01:45:29.200 Jesus was born for the Herdmans as much as he was for us.

01:45:32.540 We'll be missing the whole point of the story if we turn them away.

01:45:38.940 The best Christmas pageant ever.

01:45:41.500 It is playing in theaters right now.

01:45:43.980 And I've never heard this before.

01:45:47.040 The people that I know that saw it and that I trust, they said,

01:45:50.200 Glenn, I saw the trailer.

01:45:52.560 And I saw the trailer.

01:45:53.400 I thought it was great and funny.

01:45:54.540 I saw the trailer and it seemed like a little holiday, you know,

01:45:58.060 Hallmark kind of thing.

01:45:59.280 And they said, the movie is so much better than the trailer.

01:46:02.880 And I've never heard anybody say that about any movie ever.

01:46:07.420 Yeah, typically the trailer is the very best thing, the highlights of it.

01:46:10.400 Yeah, so I can't wait.

01:46:12.420 I'm making reservations at the theater for Thanksgiving.

01:46:17.760 After we have our Thanksgiving, we'll go to the theater that night

01:46:21.560 and watch the best Christmas pageant ever.

01:46:23.840 I have to get you to correct something.

01:46:28.700 There was somebody I was talking to that goes to a Christian school here in Dallas.

01:46:33.360 And they were talking about it with a Mormon friend who has a child in that school.

01:46:39.940 And it came up that the Mormons distorted the chosen because they were involved.

01:46:47.100 And so you can't believe the chosen scripturally.

01:46:50.920 And I want you just to verify that you used the set, I think, for the first year from the Mormon church.

01:47:01.000 And all churches are involved.

01:47:03.220 But you have, I said to them, you need to go back into the classroom and say

01:47:06.660 that Dallas Jenkins has a group of Bible scholars that look at it from all angles.

01:47:13.440 And they argue, make sure it's exactly biblically correct.

01:47:18.140 Yes.

01:47:18.460 Correct?

01:47:19.080 100%.

01:47:19.520 And number one, I'm an evangelical Protestant.

01:47:24.220 I have the final say and control over every single piece of content in the show.

01:47:28.660 It's not influenced by anybody.

01:47:30.720 And as I'm sure you wouldn't be that surprised, but all of the Mormon friends or people that I have that I work with,

01:47:38.380 I mean, I have people of all backgrounds and lack thereof.

01:47:42.500 I mean, half my cast and crew aren't believers.

01:47:45.540 But there hasn't been any arguments.

01:47:48.080 None of them have said, well, we wish you would do this instead and be more Mormon in your portrayal of Jesus.

01:47:53.340 Like, it's the Gospels.

01:47:54.720 It's the stories of Jesus.

01:47:55.880 It's pretty cut and dry.

01:47:56.680 The arguments we have about Jesus are based on things that took place after he was here or before he was here on earth.

01:48:04.760 But, yeah, it is astonishing, some of the rumors.

01:48:07.660 You use a set that's owned by the church.

01:48:11.200 It's not like they said, okay, now if you're going to use our set, now you have to put this in.

01:48:15.000 You have to Mormon this up.

01:48:15.880 Yeah.

01:48:16.000 Because, you know, this set doesn't come free.

01:48:20.300 So, no.

01:48:21.200 That was the first time I've ever had to defend my Christian friend against, like, the Mormons.

01:48:28.300 It was weird.

01:48:29.860 No, it's been wonderful and a great, great relationship with everyone who's involved.

01:48:35.140 Thank you so much for everything that you do.

01:48:37.460 Dallas Jenkins, movie, best Christmas pageant ever.

01:48:40.860 See it.

01:48:41.180 Sponsor of this half hour is Good Ranchers.

01:48:44.280 You know what I love about Good Ranchers?

01:48:46.160 I mean, a lot of them, but steaks, meat, you know, steaks, meat, burgers, chicken, seafood, steaks.

01:48:55.640 Anyway, all of the meat comes from American farmers and ranchers.

01:49:00.540 But the other thing I like is they always have an opportunity for you to get a good deal.

01:49:05.600 They're offering a free ham right now for a Thanksgiving meal with any box subscription.

01:49:11.280 That deal passed, but they couldn't give it up.

01:49:14.440 They're going to make sure that you have free ham.

01:49:17.940 Now, this is like a $110 value.

01:49:33.640 That ham is from America.

01:50:43.040 It's the most wonderful time.

01:50:46.720 Yeah, the most wonderful time of the year.

01:50:54.520 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:50:57.660 Tomorrow, I'm going to be off.

01:50:59.380 I have some face surgery.

01:51:02.560 My doctor loves me.

01:51:06.440 He's like, you just got cancer coming on your face all the time.

01:51:09.420 I'm going to make a fortune off of you.

01:51:11.180 You're going to send my great-great-grandchildren to college.

01:51:14.600 It's going to be great.

01:51:16.160 Interesting approach.

01:51:17.280 Interesting bedside manner.

01:51:18.680 Yeah.

01:51:18.980 Yeah, I thought so too.

01:51:20.100 I'm like, wait a minute.

01:51:20.660 Should you be cutting in?

01:51:21.720 He's like, I'm already in.

01:51:22.760 I'm already in.

01:51:23.760 But I'm only going to take just as much as I need this time.

01:51:27.980 I might leave a little sliver in there just to be a starter pack for the next cancer.

01:51:34.860 I mean, are you okay?

01:51:36.580 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:51:37.140 It's just, it's stupid, you know, non-lethal skin cancer.

01:51:40.580 I mean, lethal, I guess, if I just let it grow and grow and grow.

01:51:43.820 Right.

01:51:44.320 But you're getting it removed, hopefully, to avoid that.

01:51:45.940 Yeah, my doctor said, where'd you grow up?

01:51:49.240 And I said, Seattle.

01:51:50.700 Boy, the Lord put you in the right place.

01:51:53.160 And I was like, what does that mean?

01:51:55.260 He's like, you are a beacon for skin cancer.

01:52:01.320 It's like, come on, son.

01:52:02.980 Bring it on.

01:52:04.440 It's a weird compliment.

01:52:05.720 Yeah, I know.

01:52:06.280 Well, I grew up in Seattle, and in Seattle, this is really normal.

01:52:11.340 When there is a sunny day, nobody puts on sunscreen.

01:52:15.160 Nobody.

01:52:16.040 Because you're like, it's the sun.

01:52:18.060 I might get some color.

01:52:19.740 And you're burnt, and you're like, I'm fine with that.

01:52:21.980 I haven't felt like that.

01:52:23.380 You know that good feeling you have when you're in the sun?

01:52:26.020 You don't get that in Seattle.

01:52:28.080 So when there's just a sunny day, it might even be 65 degrees.

01:52:33.040 People are out, you know, like with tinfoil around their face, like they're inside of a satellite dish going, I'm just soaking up some rays, just soaking up some.

01:52:41.880 So everybody gets burnt all the time.

01:52:44.740 I tend to think sunscreen is good.

01:52:47.840 Yeah, yeah.

01:52:48.700 You know, that's what my wife said.

01:52:50.220 But I, you know.

01:52:51.320 Anyway, so I'm going to be gone tomorrow, and then we're going up to Tanya's mom.

01:52:58.780 It's her first Thanksgiving without dad at the table.

01:53:02.560 So the family's going to go do that, and we're going to be up there, and I'm going to go New York for a couple of days.

01:53:08.720 Oh, really?

01:53:09.280 Yeah.

01:53:09.900 Oh, nice.

01:53:11.420 So having holidays in New York, I'm taking my kids up there in December.

01:53:16.960 Yeah.

01:53:17.280 For the first time, they've never, I don't think either of the kids have ever been to New York City.

01:53:21.600 But, you know, I'm going to see them.

01:53:22.780 They've got to do the Christmas stuff, do all.

01:53:24.220 I want, like, every stereotypical thing I've seen in a Christmas movie to do, like the Rockettes and the Rockefeller tree, every little bit of it.

01:53:33.780 There used to be, like, when they had, remember the movie Big?

01:53:37.100 Oh, yeah.

01:53:37.440 They had the big toy store right on the corner.

01:53:41.200 It was, you know, right on Fifth Avenue, and it was in the GM building.

01:53:45.660 It was the whole bottom floor, and it was the greatest toy store ever.

01:53:48.960 Yeah.

01:53:49.160 And when that went out, I mean, Toys R Us isn't even there anymore.

01:53:52.780 They don't have toy stores like they used to now.

01:53:55.660 But it was, like, when you were coming to visit New York, you know.

01:53:58.940 Oh, yeah.

01:53:59.600 Now you're just, you know, feeding homeless people, you know, green and red.

01:54:04.140 Don't tell me.

01:54:04.220 I'm going.

01:54:05.120 No, don't tell me that.

01:54:06.200 I want to enjoy.

01:54:07.180 You bring pockets of green and red jelly beans, feed it to them.

01:54:09.420 They'll throw up, and you're like, there's Christmas in New York, kids.

01:54:12.860 That's kind of nice.

01:54:13.640 Yeah.

01:54:13.760 I do, because there was that period, especially when COVID was going on.

01:54:20.020 It was like, will this place ever recover?

01:54:23.100 You know, will it ever get back to where it was, which was still not perfect.

01:54:26.980 Yeah.

01:54:27.200 But there was plenty of that stuff going on when we were there.

01:54:29.560 I was there just last weekend, and it's still not the way it used to be.

01:54:36.720 And part of it is, it's just a wreck.

01:54:39.600 It's a mess, you know.

01:54:41.180 And that's just from under new management.

01:54:45.000 Yeah.

01:54:45.940 You get good management in there and clean that city up.

01:54:48.960 Well, the rumor is that Andrew Cuomo is going to run, so that should go well.

01:54:51.500 That's really good.

01:54:52.220 Yeah.

01:54:52.520 Yeah, that's really good.

01:54:53.860 Merry Christmas, New York.

01:54:55.220 It's become so bad that I've actually talked to people who are in New York.

01:54:58.260 They're like, actually, maybe Andrew Cuomo would be better.

01:55:01.460 I was like, good God, please don't.

01:55:03.080 No, please don't do this.

01:55:04.480 No, they're going to let it.

01:55:05.920 They're totally going to elect him as a miracle place.

01:55:08.120 Oh, yeah, they will.

01:55:09.100 Oh, yeah.

01:55:10.380 Because the de Blasio thing wasn't bad enough.

01:55:12.460 Yeah, no, no.

01:55:13.120 They will elect him.

01:55:15.080 They will elect him, and they'll be happy, and they'll defend him.

01:55:18.480 Yeah.

01:55:19.480 It's happening.

01:55:20.000 Oh, God.

01:55:20.700 It's happening.

01:55:21.640 By the way, you can go to glennbeckchristmas.com.

01:55:25.760 We have a whole bunch of stuff for if you have a Glenn Beck fan in your family.

01:55:31.800 There's several things that are new.

01:55:34.460 More will be being added.

01:55:36.280 But you can get the poster print or the G. Clay print of one of my paintings called Morning of the First Resurrection.

01:55:44.740 And this is when Jesus comes back to judge the living and the dead and splits the mountain.

01:55:51.360 And I kind of looked at this when I painted it as like he's just touching feet on the top of the mountain as they split.

01:56:00.920 And, you know, it's hard to do a Jesus painting.

01:56:07.020 You know, kind of like it's like doing a painting of your wife to the one billionth power.

01:56:17.460 You know, you don't want to get that one wrong.

01:56:21.200 So anyway.

01:56:21.800 Can you explain to us, a non-art snobs, what a G. Clay is again?

01:56:25.820 Yeah.

01:56:26.100 It is a high-quality scan on canvas that has been color corrected.

01:56:31.960 And it looks just like the painting, except it's not the original.

01:56:36.980 So it doesn't cost, you know, $20 zillion.

01:56:39.240 Correct.

01:56:39.780 Okay.

01:56:40.140 And you can get it in different sizes or you can get the poster or whatever.

01:56:44.980 There's several things there.

01:56:47.400 Also, what else is on it?

01:56:50.040 Just check it out.

01:56:51.200 GlennBeckChristmas.com.

01:56:52.300 Lots of great stuff.

01:56:53.000 Yeah, lots of great stuff.

01:56:53.820 And you can get a 25% off, by the way.

01:56:56.060 Glenn25 is the code if you want to do that.

01:56:57.880 Oh, my gosh.

01:56:58.680 Isn't that great?

01:56:59.420 Yeah.

01:56:59.660 Take money out of Glenn's pockets.

01:57:01.020 The other one is, you just have to see this, because I think these are great T-shirts and everything else.

01:57:06.300 They're, again, a G. Clay, or you can get it on a mug or a T-shirt.

01:57:10.460 I painted something that I call the real Captain America.

01:57:17.120 America's first Captain America.

01:57:18.380 I can't remember.

01:57:19.100 Yeah, the real Captain America is the name of it.

01:57:20.760 And it's George Washington, you know, almost in a Captain America pose with a flag as a cape.

01:57:29.020 And it's really kind of cool.

01:57:31.020 But I got such a response on Instagram, people saying, you got to make this into a T-shirt or whatever.

01:57:37.640 So we have the T-shirts.

01:57:38.840 We have the original painting and prints available, whatever you want, at glennbeckchristmas.com.

01:57:46.300 Really cool.

01:57:47.000 Yeah.

01:57:47.120 By the way, if you're also, if you're going to be traveling next week and you're like, you know, what can I watch before getting on a plane that will make my travel a living hell?

01:57:58.980 Yeah.

01:57:59.380 I might recommend the new documentary available on Blaze TV called Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster.

01:58:07.720 You know, I like to watch, like, I start with Airport 77.

01:58:12.020 And I just, I take it from there.

01:58:17.080 As I'm waiting to board the plane, it always makes me feel good.

01:58:19.940 It is great.

01:58:20.980 It's a new Blaze original.

01:58:22.620 It's my documentary.

01:58:23.860 It's out today on Blaze TV.

01:58:25.520 You can stream it today.

01:58:26.400 But it's just about all the huge problems going on with the FAA and air traffic control and how they're using DEI to pick, you know, the people keeping you in the air.

01:58:36.240 It just seems like a really bad idea.

01:58:38.040 I said earlier on the podcast that I was in a near miss just recently.

01:58:44.780 Yeah.

01:58:45.140 When I went to Florida, what, two weeks ago, we were right at the end of the runway.

01:58:50.480 We were coming down fast and hard, and all of a sudden, the pilot just pulled up and, you know, put it full blast on the jet, and we came back around because air traffic control just put another plane on our runway, and we were about to plow into it.

01:59:05.880 We're like, holy cow.

01:59:07.860 Yeah.

01:59:08.120 This happens all the time.

01:59:09.520 All the time.

01:59:09.980 We go through a ton of the near misses that go on.

01:59:12.340 You can go to blazeoriginals.com slash do.

01:59:14.580 If you use the code DEI, you can save 30 bucks.

01:59:16.620 But, Glenn, I was – the thing about this, and this is some real optimism, maybe not right before you get on a flight, but some real optimism, is that these are totally solvable problems.

01:59:28.380 These are not – this is not like the difficult thing of, you know, trying to fix the border.

01:59:31.720 You might say, oh, gosh, that's hard.

01:59:33.160 This is not.

01:59:34.440 These – all the solutions are known.

01:59:36.280 Of course, as you would guess when it comes to a really nerdy problem that has a million intricate, like, process solutions, Mike Lee has a solution to it, of course, because of course he does.

01:59:55.400 Right.

01:59:55.620 But I talked to Mike Lee in Washington about this, and he goes through it, and, like, this is something we can really do.

02:00:01.060 Oh, yeah.

02:00:01.400 Sean Duffy, who's the new incoming – the non-Pete Buttigieg transportation secretary, supposedly coming in.

02:00:07.040 All over this.

02:00:07.260 He's been nominated.

02:00:08.240 He's all over it.

02:00:09.340 These are problems that can actually be solved.

02:00:10.980 So this is, like, a great kind of blueprint of the problems that need to be solved with this.

02:00:15.960 Have you noticed how unreliable airlines have become, too?

02:00:19.040 Really bad.

02:00:20.020 Right?

02:00:20.580 Like, weird, long delays.

02:00:23.320 Long, long delays.

02:00:23.980 Cancellations.

02:00:24.260 Yeah, you're like, okay, I've got to get home.

02:00:26.380 It's Sunday.

02:00:27.740 Uh-uh.

02:00:28.100 You can't.

02:00:28.500 You can't.

02:00:29.120 It's canceled.

02:00:30.100 You're like, what?

02:00:30.700 It is.

02:00:31.040 It's not just my perception.

02:00:32.220 It is worse than normal.

02:00:33.340 Yeah, it is.

02:00:34.000 It is worse than normal.

02:00:35.780 There's a couple of other pieces of audio I want to play for you here before the end.

02:00:41.840 Let me play this.

02:00:42.780 This is Jeremy Clarkson.

02:00:44.260 You know who Jeremy Clarkson is?

02:00:45.760 The car guy, right?

02:00:46.600 Yeah, yeah.

02:00:46.900 Yeah, yeah.

02:00:47.160 And he was in London because the farmers, they negotiated with the government, how do we protest and, you know, but not really disrupt things?

02:01:00.420 Farmers.

02:01:01.440 We don't want to, you know.

02:01:02.800 Well, you can bring one tractor.

02:01:05.680 And so they brought one tractor and then just packed the streets with farmers.

02:01:09.720 Well, Jeremy Clarkson, who is, you know, wildly wealthy, but bought a farm in a really snotty area and just breaks all the rules.

02:01:18.560 He's great.

02:01:19.220 But he was there and the BBC, which he hasn't been on the BBC for quite some time, and he hates the BBC.

02:01:29.420 The BBC shows up and they're interviewing him.

02:01:32.700 Listen to this interview with Jeremy Clarkson yesterday on the streets in London.

02:01:36.800 So why are you here, Mr. Clarkson?

02:01:39.360 Well, because I'm here to support farmers.

02:01:41.940 Right.

02:01:42.560 Are you angry?

02:01:44.840 It's difficult to be angry on somebody else's behalf.

02:01:46.840 That's like being, yes, no, I'm not angry on someone else's behalf.

02:01:50.800 Right.

02:01:51.260 So it's not about you.

02:01:53.100 It's not about your farm and the fact that you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax.

02:01:58.700 Classic BBC there.

02:02:00.220 Is it?

02:02:00.820 Oh, yeah.

02:02:01.440 It's not the fact that, the fact that I bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax.

02:02:06.500 The fact.

02:02:07.940 You told the Sunday Times in 2021 that's why you bought it.

02:02:12.000 These people.

02:02:13.140 Sorry?

02:02:14.340 OK, let's start from the beginning.

02:02:15.980 Sure.

02:02:16.240 I wanted a shoot.

02:02:18.000 OK, that's even worse to the BBC.

02:02:20.960 I wanted a shoot, which comes with the benefit of not having to pay inheritance tax.

02:02:25.580 Now I do.

02:02:27.020 But people like me will simply put it in a trust.

02:02:29.700 And so long as I live for seven years, that's fine.

02:02:31.920 And as my daughter said, you will live for seven years.

02:02:33.900 You might be in a deep freeze at the end of it, but you will live for seven years.

02:02:37.760 But it's incredibly time consuming to have to do that.

02:02:41.100 And why should all these people have to do that?

02:02:43.860 Why should they?

02:02:44.620 So one of the reasons Rachel Reeves says she brought this in is to stop wealthy people using it as a way for you.

02:02:50.820 No, that was the only reason she did.

02:02:52.880 No, the other reason was to raise money for public services.

02:02:56.700 Are you listening to this?

02:03:01.240 Have you tried to get a GP appointment lately?

02:03:03.400 Yes.

02:03:03.900 I just recently had a heart attack.

02:03:05.480 OK, so you know it's tough.

02:03:07.820 Yes.

02:03:08.180 So where should they get the money from if it's not from farmers?

02:03:12.640 From farmers.

02:03:12.940 You hear that, everyone?

02:03:15.060 With assets.

02:03:15.940 BBC thinks you should be paying for everything.

02:03:18.020 OK, do you know how many people pay inheritance tax in this country?

02:03:21.920 It's 4% of estates.

02:03:23.420 What?

02:03:23.760 4% of estates.

02:03:25.220 4% pay inheritance tax.

02:03:27.520 96% of the population of the UK does not pay inheritance tax.

02:03:32.440 After this becomes law, 96% of farmers will.

02:03:35.680 Where have you got that figure from?

02:03:38.100 Who here, can I just ask, who here is going to be unaffected by these changes?

02:03:45.580 No one.

02:03:46.540 Right.

02:03:47.220 Where have you got the 96% figure from?

02:03:48.960 Well, you've got 96% at the same place that Rachel Reeves does, from the middle of her head.

02:03:55.460 Right.

02:03:55.880 From the Sixth Form Debating Society that she was no doubt a member of.

02:03:58.840 OK.

02:03:59.320 Which formed her opinions and yours.

02:04:01.920 I am not expressing opinions.

02:04:03.700 I'm literally asking you questions.

02:04:05.780 You know that, Mr. Clarkson.

02:04:06.900 Right.

02:04:07.320 So, what is your message to this government?

02:04:10.480 Please back down.

02:04:11.680 Please.

02:04:12.660 And get the money from where?

02:04:14.660 Well, they've got $40 billion.

02:04:18.180 I'll tell you where you go.

02:04:20.100 Walk into any of the offices around here.

02:04:22.500 If you don't understand what somebody's job is, fire them.

02:04:26.260 Is that great?

02:04:27.900 He's so, he is just so done with the press.

02:04:30.200 As the regular people are done with the BBC.

02:04:33.620 You know, it's government propaganda.

02:04:36.000 And that's the same.

02:04:38.200 What he just said is what Doge is supposed to do.

02:04:42.360 You walk around.

02:04:43.500 We don't understand your job.

02:04:45.080 You're not doing it.

02:04:46.100 Or you're doing something that isn't in the Constitution or Congress didn't approve.

02:04:50.400 We're going to fire you.

02:04:51.480 That's where you want to find the money.

02:04:52.740 That's where you find the money.

02:04:53.780 All right.

02:05:23.440 I benefited from injury insurance this past weekend when the tight end I had in my lineup got hurt in the first half.

02:05:29.760 I would have lost, but they refunded my money because they just said, you know what, that's unfair.

02:06:24.220 I want to end the podcast today with some footage from last night from Russia.

02:06:47.160 Let's go.

02:06:47.780 Cut 14, please.

02:06:49.640 Go ahead.

02:06:50.260 Roll that.

02:06:52.640 What you?

02:06:54.220 Wow.

02:06:56.780 What you're seeing if you're watching the blaze is a launch of what we believe is an ICBM last night.

02:07:04.860 Now, ICBMs, when those are launched, that's a pretty significant thing.

02:07:09.840 We have detection that will detect a launch, and if it's an ICBM, within five seconds.

02:07:17.020 Pentagon is saying, we don't know if that was an ICBM launch.

02:07:20.280 That was an ICBM launch last night, I truly believe.

02:07:23.980 And it was to send us a message.

02:07:26.260 And when I come back, I want to talk to you about why this is being done.

02:07:32.020 It's a setup.

02:07:33.200 I'll tell you about it when I come back.
