When times get tough, you gotta face the door and embrace the fire. Glenn Beck explains why you should always be prepared for the unexpected when things don t go as planned. He talks about how important it is to have a plan in case the unexpected happens.
00:02:57.240Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. It's Friday. We got a lot to talk about, but I want to tell you why I'm in Fort Wayne, Indiana here in just a second. We're going to start there. Just hang on. First, let me tell you about Jay's Medical. There are two kinds of people in the world, those who plan ahead and those who wish they had. And you see it every time something unexpected hits. The shelves will go empty, the pharmacies close early, and suddenly everybody's scrambling to find the medication that they already should have had at home.
00:03:22.320But that's the difference between panic and preparation. And it's exactly why Jay's Medical and Jay's exists, because they know you need a supply of antibiotics prescribed by licensed doctors delivered straight to your door, where you don't have to worry if the system ever falters. You have all the medications that you need. And it's not just about antibiotics. It's about the peace of mind, knowing that if you're traveling, if you're cut off or the world just doesn't, you know, if the world does what the world sometimes does,
00:03:52.180you're still covered and you're still in control. I have two daughters that have, uh, one has cerebral palsy. The, uh, both of them have seizures and they need their seizure medication. We're on vacation. They run out of seizure medication, whatever it's in the middle of the night. I need to make sure that we have it. We have it because of Jay's.
00:04:09.980If one of my kids or I get sick and we're traveling around, I don't have to go to a doctor in some foreign country or someplace where I'm scrambling to find a doctor or God forbid, have to go to a hospital just to get some antibiotics, make a fever break.
00:04:22.480Jace, have the Jace case with you, travel with it and make sure that your family is safe for whatever might happen. Jace, use the promo code Beck, B-E-C-K. When you go to jace.com, J-A-S-E.com, get a discount. Jace.com promo code is Beck.
00:04:40.100I am sitting in a brand new studio, uh, state of the art at WoWo in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
00:04:51.680WoWo is this amazing radio station and I am here to celebrate their 100th anniversary as they are launching into their second century of broadcast and grabbing on to the future.
00:05:06.840I'm here because when we launched, WoWo, I think was one of the first five stations.
00:05:15.780I know we launched with 20 stations and I think they were, they were like a number four, number five that signed on.
00:05:22.560They were with us on the very first day that we launched the Glenn Beck program.
00:05:26.660But beyond that, WoWo in Fort Wayne, Indiana was one of the very first stations in America, in the world.
00:05:38.280And what it has meant, what it has done, and what it's about to do is remarkable.
00:05:45.240Back in 1925, there was no such thing as a network.
00:05:52.100CBS had not even started to put together a network, the Columbia Broadcasting System.
00:10:49.420Do you remember what it was like if you're at my age, or maybe even a little younger, listening to the ball game under the blankets?
00:10:58.200You'd go into your bed, and you'd turn on your radio, your transistor radio, and you could listen in the middle of the night, and you would listen to voices far away.
00:12:38.880Give people that are next to you a platform.
00:12:47.800Because when you get to this level, when you get to the small local hometown, and yet one of the first network stations,
00:12:58.220when you get to a place like WoWo, it's where, it's one of the last institutions where people from opposite ends of the political spectrum might still hear the same words at the same time.
00:13:09.840In a divided America, that is rare, and that is sacred.
00:14:26.620Because in the end, it's not going to be a national voice that saves.
00:14:31.680It's not going to be the federal government.
00:14:36.820It's going to be all of us in our little towns all over America that saves things.
00:14:41.900And it's stations like WoWo that remind us the value is not in watts or ratings, but in its quiet reminder that community is more than people sharing space.
00:14:56.160It's people sharing sound and memory and truth.
00:14:59.260It was and remains the heartbeat in the static.
00:17:38.900I should probably tell you it's not because I don't think everybody wants people to go, oh, I want to live in Fort Wayne.
00:17:43.620I think they would like to keep it like this, but.
00:17:46.820The neighborhoods are still neighborhoods.
00:17:49.180The big old houses aren't all run down in some ghetto.
00:17:52.680It's beautiful and the trees are starting to turn colors.
00:18:00.320And some of the factories are even being used again.
00:18:05.280I was just at Berna, one of our sponsors there here in Fort Wayne.
00:18:10.360And they've been building here and building factories as America gets back to work.
00:18:16.540I thought I could live here in a heartbeat.
00:18:22.680But time goes on and so does the news and things get busier and busier and busier.
00:18:32.940And I got here yesterday and I was worn out because I had spent a few hours with the president this week.
00:18:41.220The guy who had flown on Sunday, left in the afternoon on Sunday, went, flew across the ocean, went to Israel, greeted the hostages as they were being released, celebrated, then went and spoke at the Knesset for two hours, then got on another plane, went to Egypt, negotiated a peace deal.
00:19:00.200Did all kinds of talking and picture taking and shaking of hands and everything else, got back onto a plane, arrived, met with the president of Argentina, Malay, and then walked out into the Rose Garden and did a tribute to Charlie Kirk.
00:19:18.940And then, after that, he walked back into the Oval Office, and I was standing outside of the Oval Office at one point, and it was lined with people waiting to go in and see him.
00:19:29.600And it was the vice president and the secretary of state, the guy moving so rapidly, and I was tired.
00:19:38.480A lot is happening in our world, and it's happening quickly, and we're going to get to that here in just a second.
00:19:44.000First, let me tell you about our sponsor, this half hour.
00:28:52.820Yeah, and we've been able, when I was there a couple weeks ago, we went into this one neighborhood, just one of hundreds of homes we're working on.
00:29:00.460And there was about six homes that are almost completely rebuilt.
00:29:03.460Some of them were moving in to the year of the hurricane, and that was impactful of itself, that they're able to go back into their homes.
00:29:10.180But many of the stories we heard was one of them, this family, as the waters are rising, they had to climb and put their little kids up into the attic.
00:29:18.460And then they had to, as it rose up to the roof line, they had to chop their way through the roof and then get to the top and got the kids up there.
00:29:26.660But not, you know, just survival alone.
00:30:02.580I mean, next year, 2026, is such an exciting year.
00:30:06.900It's my 49th year of broadcast, and I just wanted to change things so I go roaring into 50.
00:30:15.280And we have so many exciting things that we're going to be announcing here in the next few weeks.
00:30:22.780And bringing these stories to life, we're going to talk about that, and history and everything else.
00:30:30.000This weekend, and these tickets are already all sold out in Dallas.
00:30:33.240I'm coming back tonight to do the fundraiser for Mercury One, which is tomorrow.
00:30:40.200And this one is for our maximum impact fund.
00:30:44.080And let me just quickly tell you, that just pays for all the bills.
00:30:47.780So when I go on the air and say, hey, 100% of every dollar raised is going to this, you know that's true because we've already raised the money to pay all the bills and everything else.
00:31:24.140You can go to the Mercury One and then scroll down just a little bit, and there's probably going to be a pop-up as well that you can go to that link.
00:31:36.620And then also you can just donate to Maximum Impact Fund if you wanted to.
00:31:41.300But also I think what is really cool that I love to tell people about this night is it's not just your normal gala.
00:31:48.400It's a night where people can come, and our whole goal is for you, the donor, and the people that are coming to understand what God can do when you're willing to say, here I am, Lord, send me.
00:31:58.780And I think that's what's so cool about this night is that it's a worship service.
00:32:04.960It's time to see what God has done and how we can rescue and restore the human spirit and that hope that you so long ago, you framed that hope.
00:32:16.920And now every gala, it's here's the hope to get us through the next year.
00:32:21.200And it's these donors who are willing to give to that Maximum Impact Fund that really does allow us to be different than most nonprofits.
00:32:28.780To be able to say, like to those kids you and I called last year who raised $500, they're in Utah, and it's this small little school, and they raised $500 to go help the people in North Carolina.
00:32:40.340And we were able to tell those kids that $500, all of it, went to North Carolina.
00:32:45.720And I think that's such a promise that we want to keep, but it's also a calling that we have to keep because God's called us to that.
00:33:15.520This, this is a way for people to connect and to connect with things that are real.
00:33:19.300You know, I think we live in a time where people think that they don't matter, that nothing matters, that, you know, nothing has any meaning.
00:33:28.520It does, but you have to go find the meaning.
00:35:16.400Cause I, cause I would have said the name and I wasn't sure if I was supposed to say the name.
00:35:20.120Cause we have another fundraiser coming up, uh, for, uh, our history, uh, thing and some really cool things.
00:35:27.560I'm going to be with Megan Kelly next Saturday at Dickie's arena and I'm announcing some stuff about the next phase of my career, uh, and, uh, making some pretty big announcements, um, there.
00:35:40.060Uh, but then, uh, we're going to, when is the date in the undisclosed location in West Palm, December 3rd.
00:35:55.400So there's a, we can't tell you now where it is due to security reasons, but it's in West Palm.
00:36:03.140Uh, and, uh, it's, I gotta just tell you, it's just down on the wharf.
00:36:07.360Anyway, um, uh, it's a, it's a very nice place that you'll want to be at.
00:36:11.580And, uh, we have some really exciting things going on and I'm not sure if we're going to be able to announce some of the things with the person that is coming tomorrow from the government, uh, at this one, but we will be at the next one.
00:36:25.720It's, it's some really exciting things.
00:36:27.500And we want to thank you so much for being a part of Mercury one and go to mercury one.org.
00:36:32.140Uh, you can get your tickets for that undisclosed West Palm fundraiser.
00:56:06.000Some people suggested painting it on one side so that, you know, it reflects more sunlight on one side, and then it's getting nudged a little bit.
00:56:14.520You can imagine shepherding it by gravity.
00:56:17.800You know, the spacecraft is massive enough, and it shepherds it.
00:56:21.840It basically gives it a gravitational nudge.
00:56:25.800There are all kinds of methods that were proposed.
00:56:28.640And, by the way, NASA, just a year ago, they tried one of these methods with a mission called DART, where they collided with an asteroid just to see how much it gets kicked as a result and what happens to it.
00:56:45.500And it was quite surprising because, you know, some of these asteroids are not very rigid.
00:56:50.780They are porous, and you get all kinds of dust thrown out of them in ways that were not anticipated.
00:56:57.400So, at any event, the people are thinking about, you know, rocks.
00:57:02.360Rocks are easy to deal with because, in principle, you can tell what their path would be.
00:57:08.160However, one thing that was never discussed is the kind of thing I'm trying to advocate we do is what if there is some alien technology out there?
00:57:17.980Then, you know, if it was designed by intelligence, you won't be able to forecast exactly what it would do.
00:57:25.380It's just like finding a visitor to your backyard.
00:57:28.980The visitor may enter through your front door.
00:57:31.000You have to act immediately, and you need to engage with it in ways that are much more complicated than dealing with a rock.
00:58:07.840Dr. Dennis Black, the naturopathic doctor behind Rough Greens, just wrote a book that every pet owner needs to read.
00:58:12.900It's called Natural Path to Pet Health, How to Save Thousands on Pet Food and Vet Bills.
00:58:17.460And it is an essential roadmap for giving your dog the longest, happiest life possible.
00:58:22.760We had the good doctor over at the house at one point when we were just starting to do Rough Greens.
00:58:29.140And he said, look, here's what you should do and feed your dog.
00:58:33.080And he gave us a recipe that we used for years cooking, you know, food for Uno.
00:58:38.120And he's – in the book, he's got all kinds of – he's got 35 different recipes in it.
00:58:42.740Natural tips for digestive health, joint support, shiny coats, plus simple strategies that can add years to your pet's life while saving you money.
00:58:51.000So go to roughgreens.com, get your free Jump Start trial bag.
00:58:55.340Use the discount code BOOK, and you can click on the book tab after the checkout, and it'll take you to Amazon where you can get Dr. Black's new book,
00:59:02.440Natural Path to Pet Health for your dog or your cat.
00:59:36.700You know, we've heard so many things about, you know, extraterrestrial technology.
00:59:42.480We had, you know, all of the drones in the sky that everybody was thinking aliens were going to invade us for a while, and the world is on edge.
00:59:50.860I mean, we're very 1938, 39, War of the Worlds kind of territory in America, and I think the world – we're freaked out about everything.
00:59:58.520So tell me about 3i Atlas and why you say it may have alien technology.
01:00:11.980I mean, the whole point about doing science is that we can collect evidence, data from instruments, and we don't need to rely on stories that people tell.
01:00:23.020So what are the facts that make it really unusual?
01:00:29.980As I mentioned in the beginning, we expect many more small objects than big objects.
01:00:35.160And the previous two interstellar objects were roughly hundreds of meters in size.
01:00:41.120You know, the first one, Oumuamua, was of all the football fields, 100 meters.
01:00:45.240And this one, I wrote a paper two weeks ago that shows that it's bigger than five kilometers, you know, comparable to the size of Manhattan Island.
01:00:57.220And that means it's a million times more massive if you take solid density relative to the first one, Oumuamua, a million times more.
01:02:56.320Then there is the fact that, you know, the Hubble Space Telescope observed it and noticed, I mean, in the image, it displays a glow that is towards the sun, pointing towards the sun.
01:03:11.440Instead of what you usually see for comets where you see glow pointing away from the sun.
01:03:18.260And the reason you see that away from the sun is because dust and gas are being pushed by the sunlight and the solar wind away from the sun.
01:03:29.940That's what gives it the look, a comet, the look of a tail.
01:03:32.780Exactly. That's the definition of a comet.
01:03:35.560So then, you know, all the comet experts said, oh, look, here is a comet because we see this extension of a glow.
01:03:42.520But what they didn't realize, so they were, you know, it's just like seeing an animal in your backyard.
01:03:48.140And everyone says, oh, it must be a street cat because it has a tail.
01:03:55.740But then you look at the photograph of this animal and you see that the tail is coming from its forehead.
01:04:01.880And you say, well, how is that a street cat?
01:04:04.740A common street cat does not have a tail coming from its head.
01:04:07.380So anyway, this one is the first one, you know, that shows such a thing and unlike regular comets.
01:04:15.020And then in addition, so these are two anomalies so far.
01:04:18.760In addition, the trajectory of this object is aligned to within five degrees with the ecliptic plane of the planets around the sun.
01:04:31.060So basically, it comes in the plane where all the planets are moving around the sun.
01:04:37.280And, you know, that could be by intelligent planning, because if you wanted to do a reconnaissance mission, you know, coming close to planets, that's the way to do it.
01:04:50.660And the previous one came, you know, both Oumuamua and the second one, Borisov, came at a very large angle.
01:04:57.220So this one comes straight in the plane.
01:05:18.380Why is it, you know, why does it have this glow towards the sun rather than away?
01:05:23.540Oh, it's something we don't fully understand.
01:05:25.320So they would say that, but they would not admit that it could be something else.
01:05:29.940Then there is the arrival time of this object.
01:05:32.980You know, it arrived to the solar system at a special time because it's passing, you know, very close to Mars, Venus and Jupiter.
01:05:41.200And, you know, these planets are moving around the sun and you have to be at the right time, at the right place in order to come within tens of millions of kilometers from each of them.
01:05:51.900And so that's another coincidence that, you know, might indicate fine tuning that, you know, there is some reason that it's coming so close.
01:05:59.660So hang on just a second, hang on, I just want to clear some stuff up and then I've got to take another break.
01:06:10.200All of these things could be chance, right?
01:06:14.980But you're saying now they're just all...
01:06:17.120The probability for each of them is very small.
01:06:22.160And then you need to multiply each likelihood by another and you get something like one in a million chance.
01:06:29.440OK, when we come back, I want to talk to you about the other things that I've heard that start to really sharpen this is that the the surface is unlike it's not only not shedding any gas or any debris, but the surface appears to be different.
01:10:00.920Okay, so talk to me about the surface of this, because I don't know what's true and what's not.
01:10:08.020I read that the surface is smooth and it also seems to have a different density than what we would expect from a comet and a different material.
01:10:19.800Yeah, so what we see is a plume of gas around it, which might have been released because of the illumination by the sun, but we don't know.
01:10:32.420And we can tell the composition of this gas around it.
01:10:35.640And what we find is, in difference from what comet experts forecasted, they said it will be water.
01:10:43.140That's what the comets in the solar system lose, mostly water.
01:10:47.660It turns out that water makes only 4% of the mass of the plume of gas around it.
01:10:53.000It's mostly carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and there are some trace levels of nickel and cyanide.
01:11:02.220Now, nickel, in other comets, in all the comets that we know about, nickel comes with iron.
01:11:12.200But in this case, it's only nickel that was detected with no iron.
01:11:19.420And the only other place where we see that is in industrially produced nickel alloys, when we refined nickel and used that for aerospace applications, for all kinds of industrial applications.
01:11:34.320So, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, so you're saying nickel always, generally, comes bound with iron when you have it in the raw form?
01:11:44.280Yeah, because they are both produced by the same origin in exploding stars that are called supernovae.
01:11:52.140And, in fact, there is even more iron than nickel by mass in the composition of the sun.
01:11:57.660So, in comets, you see comparable levels of nickel and iron.
01:12:01.740In this object, around it, you know, there are two very detailed studies that detected very prominent nickel abundance, but no iron whatsoever.
01:13:16.220It's possible that nature is as innovative as we are when we make.
01:13:20.220You know, the reason that we separate nickel is in order to get it to be a stronger material that is resilient against heat and all kinds of others.
01:13:57.040So, when we see that cylindrical tube-looking thing, that's not an actual picture of what it looks like?
01:14:04.560No, no, because that's on scales of hundreds to thousands of kilometers.
01:14:09.380The object itself is of the order of 10 kilometers, much smaller.
01:14:13.660And we just don't have big enough telescopes to resolve it.
01:14:17.300So, we can just see the glow around it, which are materials released by the object.
01:14:23.580We have no, but on the other hand, on October 2nd, there was a camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter that NASA put near Mars
01:14:34.320that took an image of this object when it came closest to Mars just a week ago.
01:14:40.000And that camera did not, you know, the data that was obtained was never released because of the government shutdown.
01:14:47.540So, we don't, I mean, we could, in principle, get a better sense of the nature of the object.
01:14:53.580The size of the object and perhaps more details about if we could get this data out.
01:14:59.380But somehow NASA is not operational right now.
01:15:02.680The other, I wanted to mention a few other anomalies.
01:15:06.540One is the light coming from Triathlis is very negatively polarized, something that was, that is unprecedented for all known comets.
01:15:16.220And in addition, well, then we don't know what, I don't know what to make of it.
01:15:21.940It may be the geometry of the object is unusual.
01:15:24.620Like this jet that I mentioned at the beginning, the glow that is actually 10 times longer than it is wide in the direction of the sun.
01:15:31.540Maybe that is producing a very unusual polarization.
01:15:34.180That may be, but what I'm saying is nobody tried to explain those facts.
01:15:40.540And finally, there is this coincidence that you mentioned between the arrival direction of Triathlis and the wow signal that was discovered in 1977 that was definitely extraterrestrial.
01:15:52.780And it was a radio signal in narrow band from a source that is approaching the Earth.
01:15:59.880And it came from within nine degrees of the arrival direction of Triathlis.
01:16:04.780So the chance of that happening at random is 0.6%.
01:16:09.220And I'm just asking, you know, is it possible that the signal came from the direction of Triathlis?
01:16:20.320Because wow was what was written, if I'm not mistaken, on the tape as it was going through, you know, the graph or the charts that were printed out at the time.
01:16:30.480The scientists that saw it just wrote wow on it because it was not natural occurring.
01:16:39.240At least that's what he thought at the time, right?
01:16:41.700Well, it was a 72 second long burst of radio emission from a direction from a source that was not there before or after.
01:16:54.540And it came at a frequency just a little bit above a natural frequency of hydrogen.
01:17:02.760So we can tell that the source was approaching the sun.
01:17:06.400But we don't know the nature of the source.
01:19:09.120Well, the age, we don't know, but and we don't know how much traffic there is of gadgets in our vicinity and what the purpose might be.
01:19:18.620But there is a very clean way of telling the difference between a spacecraft and a rock.
01:19:25.720You know, if you see some transmission of radio waves that, you know, a rock would never emit or if you detect a maneuver when the object comes close to the sun,
01:19:37.860if it suddenly changes trajectory, taking advantage of the gravitational assist from the sun,
01:19:42.780if the object releases mini probes that visit planets or if it shows some excess heat from an engine,
01:19:50.160you know, you can tell that it's technological.
01:19:58.360I say that there should be an international committee that collects data and coordinates the assembly of data for any future interstellar object that the Rubin Observatory in Chile will find.
01:20:12.340Every few months, we're expecting to find a new one in the coming decade.
01:20:15.640And moreover, you know, the U.S. president should be briefed about any objects that appear to be technological.
01:20:22.960I don't expect politicians to do anything until the first encounter.
01:20:28.100And really, I hope that we will survive that.
01:20:30.860But after the first encounter, I'm sure that a significant fraction of military budgets worldwide would be dedicated to an alert system that we put, you know, in the outer solar system to alert us for any incoming technologies.
01:20:47.860Do you believe that you're going to see alien something in your lifetime?
01:20:54.420I think that they existed in the past, billions of years before we came along.
01:21:01.140I think that Elon Musk is not the most accomplished space entrepreneur since the Big Bang, you know, 13.8 billion years ago, despite of what he says.
01:22:46.480That's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is still on the ground every single day, bringing food and shelter and comfort to those who need it most.
01:22:55.320Look, I don't want to fight Israel's wars.
01:22:57.360I don't want anything to do with their wars.
01:23:01.740You know, they can do their own thing.
01:23:02.940But I believe we do have a reason and a responsibility to stand up for those people who have been under attack forever, literally from the beginning of time, and support them in their right to live and defend themselves.
01:23:19.700The fellowship teams are on the ground right now, and they're handed delivering boxes and boxes of food, nutrition to feed and comfort the poorest people, the elderly, the kids that are, you know, still waking up with nightmares every night.
01:23:32.720If you want to find out how you can take part in IFCJ's mission, go to the fellowship.
01:23:37.660It's International Fellowship of Christians and Jews at ifcj.org.
01:24:55.900Also, Mom, Donnie, the I think the world's weirdest debate happened last night.
01:25:05.500Stu, what is your quick takeaway on the debate last night?
01:25:08.480I mean, basically, you're talking about two of the worst people society has ever produced battling it out against a guy who just seems nice and wanting to help.
01:25:18.440So he has no chance to win whatsoever.
01:25:56.180Let me talk to you a little bit about Jace Medical.
01:25:58.520The strange thing about modern life is we, you know, we stream from a movie, you know, from space, but we can't get basic medicine, you know, if a storm knocks out power for two days.
01:26:09.360Surrounded by technology, but when something goes wrong, the simplest things that matter most is the hardest to get.
01:26:14.820Jace Medical understands the need for being prepared.
01:26:17.020They created the Jace case, which is a supply of essential antibiotics that you can keep right at your home in case the pharmacy closes or, you know, something happens during the weekend, can't get a hold of the doctor, you can't get to the pharmacy or supply chain stalls or whatever.
01:26:29.660Every pill is prescribed by a licensed physician delivered to your door.
01:26:35.860It's like having a doctor who thinks ahead, who knows that, you know, life doesn't always run on schedule because when the lights go out or the roads shut down or you're traveling, you don't want to say, I wish I would have.
