Today'S podcast. It's a great, great show. Lots of, lots of things that you can really take to the bank here and apply in your own life. Today is the fourth day of Hanukkah and we haven't talked about Hanukkah at all. But it's the miracle of life. Lights. But I, I think it's more than that. Especially today, the fourth day of Hanukkah. You know, not a rabbi. I don't try to play one. And I don't know what the fourth night actually means, but I'll tell. And what it should mean to all of us. Coming up on today's show. Also, Chip Roy is on the podcast. Chip is talking about an end to all immigration. A pause in all immigration. I can't believe some of the stuff that's in his bill. Crazy things like we shouldn't allow terrorists in. If you are a proponent of Sharia law, you shouldn't be allowed in. I mean, crazy stuff you can't believe we actually have to say out loud. And why in the world would Susie Wiles be dumb enough? Because she's not dumb. She's really smart. Why would she say what she said in the Vanity Fair article? All that and so much more on the podcast. Here it is. Let me tell you about Burner launcher. People who don't want to live in fear, they just, you know, they want to know they have some options. And if something goes wrong, you're not helpless. You know, you're not waiting on luck. You're not depending on somebody else to arrive on time. That's why I like the Burner launcher. The Burner is a non lethal self defense tool that is legal in all 50 states. You don't have to have a permit, you just have to be over 18. It fires chemical irritant projectiles that can stop an attacker dead in his tracks from a safe distance, giving you real protection without escalating to deadly force. And now you can choose between the standard Verna and the new compact launcher which is lighter and smaller. You can carry it every day. I can carry it in my back, you can carry it in a backpack, you can carry it in your purse, whatever. It's not aggression, it's not paranoia, it's just being Safe.

I haven't talked about Hanukkah yet. Today is the best day to talk about Hanukkah. I believe it is the fourth night of Hanukkah. At least this is the one where I think it means the most to all of us. I don't care if you're Jewish or Christian or, you know, atheist. Today the fourth day of Hanukkah sends a really important message. Because the fourth day is not the beginning when the miracle is still an idea. It's not the end. When the light is undeniable, it's the middle. When the darkness has not surrendered, the light is still being tested. This is the hardest night. This is the hardest place to stand. History isn't decided at the beginning of a fight, and it's rarely remembered at the end, when history is truly decided, is Right here in the middle, when the cost is real and the outcome is unclear. Do you know how this is going to end? Because I don't. I have hope, but I don't have as much hope as I did at the beginning. And I'm certainly not going to have as much hope and joy as I will in the end when the light's still there. Right now, it's unclear. And endurance matters more than enthusiasm. Just endure. Hanukkah is not a children's story. Hanukkah is not a just a Jewish story. It's not about presence. It's not about sentiment. It's about a small group of exhausted people who refuse to surrender their faith, who refused to surrender their identity or their God to an empire that demanded conformity, not conversion. Conformity. Bow a little. Blend in. Be reasonable. Be quiet. Sit down. Their temple had been defiled. Their language was erased. Their calendar was outlawed. Faith itself was declared incompatible with progress. And their oil was insufficient. It wouldn't last. By every practical measure, the story should have ended there. They had no army. They had no allies. They had no numbers, no time. And yet they lit the lamp anyway. That, to me, is the center of Hanukkah. Not the miracle that followed, but the decision that preceded it. They didn't light. They didn't light the lamp because they knew it would last for eight days. They had no idea. They lit it because they knew who they were. Can the same be said for us? Do we know who we are? To my Jewish friends, I know you've got to be feeling something painfully familiar. Alone and exposed, Watching old lies return with new confidence. Hearing chants that were supposed to have been buried in the last century. We all thought that had happened. Seeing the masks come off now and realizing how thin they really were, how. How fragile civilizations really are. Meanwhile, you're being told you're exaggerating or it's complicated or the outrage. Your outrage has to be carefully rationed. Here they're asked to explain their own fear to people who have never had to carry that fear. And they look around and they notice something chilling. The loudest voices often on their side. A quarter cheer, a quarter excuse, and too many that just look away, realizing that never again. Apparently kind of conditional, you know, unless we have some new information about, you know, wait a minute. Hitler might have been a good guy. Christmas brings us the hope. Not at Christmas. They had to wait 30 plus years to Easter. The resurrection. Christmas is the beginning. It's what he did in the middle for 33 years that got him to the end of the resurrection that changed our lives. Hanukkah doesn't promise safety. It promises meaning. It doesn't say the powerful are going to become just all of a sudden, overnight. It doesn't say anywhere the crowd's going to wake up. It doesn't say, you know you're faithful. You're going to be spared. You're going to be spared pain and death and everything else. It says this. You light the candle even when you think it feels pointless to do it. You guard the flame even when the world looks away. You refuse to let desecration have the last word. You don't measure truth by numbers or applause or power, but by faithfulness. You light the lamp because it's who you are. Empires always believe they're permanent, never having a never ending Roman empire, a thousand year Reich. But those that arrogance always underestimates one thing. And this is why they do everything they can to make sure you don't become this. They always underestimate a people who remember who they are. That's why traditions are so important. Here's a promise for them and for us. Darkness is never defeated all at once. It's pushed back. It's pushed back into. Into the corners and the cracks from which it crawled. It's pushed back. One deliberate act of light at a time. One candle, then another, then another. Not some garish performative light that we see all the time now. Not fashionable light, but costly, stubborn, defiant light. The fourth night of Hanukkah. This is one. It's why it's one of my favorites. It's the middle. You're not really hoping anymore. It's not the beginning. I'm going to lighten. I'm going to hope because I know it's going to end out that way. People who started, they didn't know it was going to end out that way. By the fourth night, you're committed. You're committed. Gone this far, there's no going back. You've stopped asking if it will be easy. You've just decided it's going to be done. And that is how a civilization survives. It's committed. It's going to be done. I don't know what comes my way. I don't know how hard it's going to be. I don't know the true cost of this. I don't know the ending. But I will stand because I know who I am. And it will be done. And I'm not going to pretend the darkness isn't there, because it is. But I'M going to light the flame anyway. I will stand there and protect it and dare it to go out. Happy Hanukkah. Let me tell you about Chase Medical. You know, you don't prepare because you're afraid of life. You prepare because that way you can live it without, you know, constant fear. And there are moments in life where, you know good enough isn't good enough. You need real equipment that works when everything else goes sideways. And that's why I love what Jace medical is doing. They, they have the new stop the bleed kit. This, the jsaid trauma pack. It is for serious. This is serious moments, serious gear. Tourniquets, chest seals, trauma shears, a whole lot more. I mean, it is like a really, like a little mini hospital in a bag. It really is. And it is meant to be, you know, right, right alongside any of their other jsaid packs with almost no overlap. The medic kit, the mini kit, each one has a purpose. And together they give you the level of preparedness that most families have never had before. You use something out of the kit, they replace it. I mean, it is really, really amazing. I want you to go to jace.comjace.com Enter the promo code Beck. These are unbelievable kits and they are great for the holidays. Make a great preparedness kit for the, you know, the trunk of your car. Use the promo code beckase.com now back to the podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Let me go to Chip.
Chip Roy
Roy.
Glenn Beck
Hello, Chip. How are you, sir?
Chip Roy
Glenn, how are you? Merry Christmas, brother.
Glenn Beck
Merry Christmas is our congressman from the great state of Texas. He is also a candidate for Texas attorney general. Talk to me about your bill on immigration. Does it have a chance of even. Tell me what it is and then I want to know if it has a chance of passing.
Chip Roy
Sure. I mean, you know, you opened this segment by talking about our need to focus on not just illegal immigration, but legal immigration. And I strongly believe that that is true. I think for way too long we have been getting loose, fast and loose, overly corporate, overly driven by, you know, your kind of chamber of commerce crowd. And all of a sudden we've now got a situation where we have millions of people in our country that are not seeking to assimilate, not seeking to be the, quote, melting pot, but rather trying to kind of reestablish their cultures from other countries here rather than becoming fully American. And that's been a long string of decisions. And to go back and put it in perspective, we have 51 and a half million foreign born people here in the United States, the vast majority of whom did not come here illegally. Right. But legally. But they've been kind of abusing the process in the system because we've got this broad use of H1B visas. We've got these things called diversity visas. We have chain migration where you've got everybody's cousin, uncle, aunt, whatever, and they're just growing the population here. And this is now unlike it was a century ago, right. When we had the mass migration, the late 1800s and the early 1900s. And at that point we didn't have a welfare state. We had schools that were teaching that America was great and believe in the Constitution. And we had, you know, God in the schools. And we had our culture being elevated, not, not being criticized. And at that point, we still froze immigration in the 1920s. Right. We still flatlined it because everybody said, whoa, whoa, whoa. We've had so many people come in and I think our country was stronger for it. Today it's worse because we've got so many people coming here who are not assimilating. We have schools that are not teaching people that America is great. And we certainly are continuing to have a welfare state now that is causing a big problem. So I think we should pause it. It's called the Pause Act. We should pause legal immigration until we fix a lot of things, fix diversity visas, fix chain migration, fix H1B.
Glenn Beck
Can you tell me what a diversity visa, what is a diversity visa? I don't even know if I know what that is.
Chip Roy
Right. So diversity visas, chain migration, these are all things that are being used currently to have expansive use of the ability of people to come into the country and say that they're, you know, a family member. Right. An extended individual through what we call chain migration. So you'll have a person come in and instead of it being a close knit family member, right. Instead of it being, okay, this is my spouse or this is my child, its cousins and aunts and uncles and so forth. And you know, this is the kind of thing that we've got to reform and including H1B visas and including all of the problems we have here with birthright citizenship. Obviously the Supreme Court is going to hear the Trump administration's, you know, executive order on that, but we should codify a new view of how we deal with birthright citizenship. You should only be a citizen if you're born of citizen parent, not because you came and were on our dirt. So these are things that if you don't fix or like plyware in Texas, Right. We had a supreme Court opinion in the 1980s that said we have to educate the children of illegal aliens, illegal alien children. We should challenge that, overturn it, and we should fix it. Until you fix all those things, fix the magnets, fix legal immigration, then we're going to lose our country, we're going to lose our culture, and I think we need to do that. So that's why I introduced the bill deposit.
Glenn Beck
I just talked to a police officer. Day before yesterday. I was walking down the street, going into a store for Christmas, and he said, hey, Glenn Beck. And he had this slight accent. I couldn't tell exactly what it was. And then he said, eventually said, I'm Irish. I came from Ireland. He said, I've been here for 20 years, but my wife and I were living in Ireland. And I said, my gosh, does Ireland even exist anymore? And he said, glenn, it used to be. He said, I go back every year. He said, it used to be you could go anywhere and you'd have the Irish pub, and, you know, you'd see Irishmen everywhere. And yes, there were people from other parts of the world, et cetera, et cetera, but it was Irish. He said, I can go now into my hometowns, small ones. And he said, I don't see another Irishman. He said, the Irish culture is completely annihilated. He said, it's all mosques and Pakistanis and whatever. And he said, you know, is there ever anyone going to say, hey, wait a minute. The Irish culture, the. The American culture, the English culture, whatever. Culture. That's important, too. When is anybody going to step up and say, you know what? We don't want to lose this by embracing that. We can have both, but not like this.
Chip Roy
Well, Glenn. And you know, and by the way, the thing I left out on the diversity visa, because I got up and I started talking about chain migration. But just so you know, that's a program very specifically designed to bring people in from countries that we don't have significant immigration from. It's literally designed to, quote, diversify our immigration population. So that's right. And that's my point. And this is what's so wrong about our immigration system, and it's being done that way. And the SIB program from Afghanistan, all of it's been being abused, and we've had this mass migration. And again, you are an ardent defender of the First Amendment, so am I. You can believe what you want to believe. Right. And we would never want to insert the federal government into your belief system. Like between you and God. But what we have to remember about Islam is that it is a politically motivated group of individuals. Right. This is when we look at the core and we look at what you look at what the Muslim Brotherhood is talking about. When you look at Sharia law, when you look at the tenets of Islam, then there is a massive political component to it, and we have to remember that. We have to remember and actually read the words, read what's being said, and go look at what's happening in Dallas. Epic City is not just an accident. What's happening with the growth and the promotion of Sharia law in the United Kingdom, in France, now in America. It's not an accident. Okay? And this is well beyond. Hey, you can believe what you want to believe. You can be an atheist, agnostic. You can be Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim. Right. We stand for that principle. But when you come here to annihilate and change our culture, then you've got to approach that. We. We Americans have to approach that in a different way. And I believe we should pause immigration. We should be doing what the president is doing. Remove a whole lot of the people dumped into our country under Biden, you know, illegal immigrants, asylum that were abused, parole that was abused by Biden and Mayorkas, and go around and make sure that we're resetting the table and reset our laws, and we should just pause for a while and reclaim our American culture. To your point, about what you just said about Ireland.
Glenn Beck
You. You laid out. I saw your press release, and you lay out what this bill would do, and I got to read this to the audience because I can't believe you actually have to say this. It would end the practice of automatic citizenship. Yep. And chain migration. Yep. That's not what the 14th Amendment says. That's not what it was about. That's not what it was written for anyway. And the H1B visa program. Got it. Ensure immigrant assimilation. Got it. Now listen to these last three. This is what he's proposing we do. Okay. We're not doing it. He's proposing we do this. Deny entry to Sharia law adherence. Oh, I don't know. Yes. I can't believe we have to even say that out loud. Deny entry to Chinese Communist Party members. Uh, I don't know. Yes. And the third one. Deny entry to terrorists. This is a civilization that is on a suicidal path. If that can't happen, that's not. It's crazy that that's not already happening. Suicide.
Chip Roy
The other element to it that we must factor in is the welfare that is being doled out to non citizens in the form of not just food stamps, Medicaid, all of the social programs from the federal government, but also our local schools and local hospitals that get inundated by people that are coming into the United States knowing that they'll get free health care, a free education, and they might be able to then use birthright citizenship to get a hook and come here and grow here. And none of this is about the melting pot, Glenn. That's what I'm trying to make the case here to people. When we had people who came here who largely shared our values, and when they came here, they wanted their kids to learn English. They wanted their kids to love America. They wanted their kids to understand our history and our founding. They appreciated what this country stood for. By the way that mass migration occurred right after the Civil War. So our country had literally been at war. And people said, I want to go there because this country stood for something bigger and better. And people knew it, but they wanted to be a part of it and they wanted to embrace it. They didn't want to change it. And that's not true. Now, that's definitively not true. When I have colleagues in the United States Congress like Elon Omar, who are openly and outspokenly committed to changing America to be like her home country. That's a problem. That is what's happening. And if we don't recognize. You can't win a war that you don't acknowledge exists, Glenn. And there is a war being waged against our way of life and against our culture. So, look, I'm introducing legislation here, but it's also why I'm running for Attorney General. Right. And I'm not going to go to a campaign speech here, but we've got to have states that are standing up and leading this fight as well if we're going to save America.
Glenn Beck
You brought up, you know, there's a war being waged. Every alarm bell in me is going off. Every alarm bell in me. We are. We're in a war. We won't even recognize it. I think the president has, but I think it's going to take a lot more than what we're doing right now. Look at what's happening in Europe. France just canceled their. Their ball drop, you know, for, you know, New Year's Eve. They have it at the Arctic Triumph every year. They canceled it and said, just stay at home and watch a rerun of it from another year. That's insanity. They've just surrendered. How serious are we at preparing for a civilizational war.
Chip Roy
Well, I think on the positive side, we have an increasing number of people in leadership who are understanding the threat in a way that they didn't a year ago or five years ago. That being said, we also have a long way to go and a very short time to get there. Right. We have got to move quickly. If you see what's happening in Europe, right? And we go, wow, they're 20 years ahead of us. I don't think that's true. I think Europe is a mere months, years, few years ahead of us in terms of how bad it's gotten. And I think we're now realizing how much damage we've done over the last decade, in particular, certainly the last two decades, in terms of the mass influx of people that do not ultimately share our values. So I do think it's important that we support the President on what he's doing and removing bad actors and making sure that we're removing people that need to be removed or here legally. But if we don't reform our legal immigration system immediately and pause it and freeze it and reset who we are as Americans and get people to understand that when you're here, you're going to embrace and being an American, then we're not going to save the country. Right. So that's, that's why I wanted to introduce this bill. It's why I'm introduced more. It's why I introduced separate legislation to vet people for Sharia law. It's why introduced bill to take away the tax status for care. Like, we've got to get people to realize that we need immediate change and we can't wait. Right now, Congress is not codifying or advancing the ball on this front yet. The President is doing it unilaterally, and I think that's a problem.
Glenn Beck
Can the House actually get it done? Are we going to pass it? Is it have a chance of ever getting to the president's desk?
Chip Roy
Right now we are socializing it and there's a growing number of people who support the concept. And you see it not on social media, but we've got to get it socialized between the White House and the leadership in the House to get it to the point of trying to force a vote. There's going to be a lot of resistance. Okay, there's a lot of people that are going to be listening to business interests, a lot of people who are going to say, well, I've got a group of a certain culture in my particular district and so forth. And we've Got to rise above that and recognize if we don't do this, then we have no chance to save the country. Because if another 55,000 people come in on diversity visas this year and another 55,000 come in next year and then another 55,000 the following year, all from these supposed low immigration countries for purposes of diversity in addition to the chain migration, in addition to H1B visas, like do the math, see what's happening and then how many kids are having. And so we've got to freeze that and reset what we want to do for our country.
Glenn Beck
All right. It's called the Pause Act. Get online support Chip Roy in the Pause Act. Ask your congressmen, your senators to join with Chips on the Pause act again. You follow him on X at Chiproy Tx. He is also running for candidate for attorney general. What is your website, chip?
Chip Roy
Chiproy.com. it's pretty simple, pretty straightforward. I appreciate it. And, and, and look, you know, this Christmas season just for everybody out there, Merry Christmas. We live in the greatest country in the history of the world. We've got to keep our heads up and put our faith in, in Jesus and, and, and, and remember that it's upon us to pass this down to our kids and grandkids.

Welcome to the program. Yesterday, Donald Trump put out on Truth Social. I'll be giving an address to the nation Wednesday live from the White House, 9pm Eastern. I look forward to seeing you then. It's been a great year for the country and the best is yet to come. Now there's speculation on what he's going to talk about. I think he's going to do just that. He's going to say this is what we've accomplished in the first year and this is what is coming. And if he is just doing the accomplishments, they are, they're remarkable. They really are remarkable. No president has ever done what this president has done this fast. I mean, he makes Barack Obama looked like he was standing still and that's saying something. It's just been overwhelming and it'll be nice to have that record. But I don't think that's what, you know, I think people want, people want more. Sorry, Mr. President. They want more. They want more and they want it faster and, and they want it to affect their life, their lives. So I'm hoping that he is going to make some comment on the economy that is not like, hey, you know, really, it's better. You just don't know it yet. We had that with Biden. It didn't work there. It's not going to work with you. I know there are some things that are advancing, but people are still struggling, and it's, you know, it's not going to work. So I hope that is not part of it. You know, I was reading about Nick Reiner, Rob Reiner's son. Did you know that he. He was at with his dad, Conan o' Brien's party? Conan o' Brien had a big holiday party and Rob brought his son. And it was kind of like, well, okay. And he just said, look, I'm just worried about my son. I just want to keep him close. You know, his son has had deep problems. Gosh, when you see the look in his son's eye in these interviews that they did together, when they were working together, he does not look stable. He does not look like a guy that you like. Like, oh, yeah, no, I feel comfortable around him. Is it just me? Because I, I see that. I'm like. And you feel bad for, you know, mom and dad Reiner, who. They love their son. They just don't know what to do. How many of us are in this. Not in that situation, thank God, but how many of us has been in this situation where you're really worried about your kid, but you just don't know what to do and you're just hoping for the best. You do your best, hoping they do their best and it's all going to work out. And sometimes, unfortunately, like this one, it didn't. And they. He went to the holiday party and then apparently they have him on tape, you know, in the neighborhood, just kind of pacing back and forth and then going into the house and stabbing mom and dad, then going back to a motel, and they caught him in the motel, and apparently it's just drenched in blood. So it's clear he did it. It's clear he did.
Co-host or Guest Commentator
Does seem that way. I will say. Maybe it's because when you become a parent, you start to recognize that my kids are really good so far. That's awesome. Who knows what they. I always said to my wife, like, yeah, they're great right now. Like, who knows what they turn into. You don't know. You don't have control over that.
Glenn Beck
You don't.
Co-host or Guest Commentator
You really don't. And, you know, I tend to have a lot more sympathy as the years go on for parents in these situations. I think early on in my life, it was A lot of like, oh, gosh, well, where are the parents? How come they're not doing this? And you realize you can do a lot of things and you can try to build a great foundation for your kids and you can do. You can control as much as you can control and put as much good things into them as possible, but you can't control the outcome of it. You just can't. And if you're in that situation, have sympathy for yourself because you can't control it. There are individuals, they're human beings, and if they decide to be idiots and. Or horrible people or great people, there's only so much of that that you.
Glenn Beck
Can control, you know, and at first, you haven't really hit this yet, but when you get into the teenage years with the kids, oh, my gosh. And girls are worse than boys. But it is so difficult. It is so difficult because they're saying things that just tear you apart. Just tear you apart. And, you know, and they're going through things that you just. Oh, don't. It's just not this hard. It's not this hard. But at their. At their age, it is that hard. And, you know, I was talking to a friend and. And he said, in God, great. And my response was, shut up. Did you hear anything I said about what I'm going through right now? And I said, what do you. What?
Co-host or Guest Commentator
What?
Glenn Beck
And he said, your kids will never leave you. They would never leave you unless God put that instinct in them at the appropriate age. It's like a switch that goes on. And it's like everything mom and dad said is wrong. I don't. I don't need to be around them. I don't want to be around them. You know, they're just. They're smothering me with everything. I want to go a different direction. He said, it's a switch that goes on and then it turns off again and they come back and they love you. He said, it's just this most amazing God trait that pushes the youth out of the house. And I thought, God is good, otherwise they'd be living with me forever.
Co-host or Guest Commentator
That's an interesting way of looking at it.
Glenn Beck
I think it's true. That's a great way to look at it.
Co-host or Guest Commentator
We've noticed this lately. We were discussing this pretty recently that we've noticed that God doesn't seem to run any of his plans by us in advance.
Glenn Beck
Oh, that pisses me off.
Co-host or Guest Commentator
He doesn't text us.
Glenn Beck
I don't need him. Look, look, I don't need you. God I don't need you to run them by for approval. I just like you to run them by so I know exactly what you're doing. You know, can you just give me the heads up? Look, I'm gonna make the. I'm gonna set this place on fire over here. I'm gonna let these people just. Just start fires all over this part and. But don't worry. I. I got it. I got. I'm gonna do this in the end. Just run that by me. Yeah, run that by me. And make life so much easier. Yeah, let's say. So much.
Co-host or Guest Commentator
You know, give us a little bit of the screenplay before the movie comes out. Yeah, I mean, like we should.
Glenn Beck
Right here. A little. A little trailer that has a little bit of like. Oh, looks like it might have a decent ending.
Co-host or Guest Commentator
Yeah, that's all we're looking.
Glenn Beck
They don't all die in space. That's all I'm looking for. That's. That's it. Speaking of space, have you seen the new trailer for. Oh, Disclosure?
Co-host or Guest Commentator
No.
Glenn Beck
Steven Spielberg, all kinds of conspiracy. What isn't a conspiracy right now? I could say chicken prices. And people go, you know, that's a conspiracy. You know what chicken prices are? No, I didn't. Shock absorbers. You know why? Shock absorbers. You know, shock absorbers were designed first for use by the CIA. No, I didn't know. Stop. Everything is a conspiracy. But this is an interesting one. Steven Spielberg was retired, not gonna make any more movie. He comes out of retirement to make this movie about aliens and aliens its first contact. And why would he do that? Why. Why would he come out of retirement to do that movie about aliens? They are preparing us. They are. They know. They know it's coming and they needed Steven Spielberg to prepare our minds. So we will accept aliens. And normally I would say get a nap in today, please. But with as weird as everything has been, I'm not ruling anything out. The only thing I'm ruling out is that God's going to run his plans by me or you. That one I can rule out aliens showing up. No, I can't rule that out.
Co-host or Guest Commentator
Can you? I mean, so what the theory is that Steven Spielberg is.
Glenn Beck
Forget that.
Co-host or Guest Commentator
Prepping usually.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, no, forget that part of the theory. The part that I say is. I mean, I asked Steve dase come to the show with some predictions this last week's TV show. You know what one of his predictions was? In the next year, you will see a leader of a major country say that they have had an encounter with aliens. And it will Be the beginning of this slow reveal that aliens are either coming or whatever. And I'm like, wait, what, what, what? I mean, that is so far on the edge. And yet everything is a. This is a problem. Everything is a psyop right now. Absolutely everything you see, everything you see online feels like a psyop. Everything. Let me give you this. Susie Wiles, she's not this stupid. She's not this stupid. She. Wait, what? So Susie Wiles goes out and gives it to Vanity Fair and she's like, you know what? Another thing, Trump's like an alcoholic. What? And then. Yeah, and then Donald Trump, who would normally go, what? Goes, ah, you know, I kind of am like an alcoholic.
Co-host or Guest Commentator
It's quite an interesting series of developments over the past 24 hours in that world. Now, the alcoholic thing, I think in context was not, not all that bad. I think you could see what she was going. He's kind of said that before about himself, like, so that one. But like, she did kind of trash a bunch of different people in the administration in a 11 day, 11 separate interviews with Vanity Fair. 11 over a year. They gave massive access to the Cabinet.
Glenn Beck
Was this a book that was supposed to be held until 28?
Co-host or Guest Commentator
It's interesting you say that that was the only thing I could come up with, because if you didn't follow the story, we should reset this because it kind of happened over the past 24 hours. Vanity Fair, as a reporter who famously does pieces in depth pieces on chiefs of staff in the White House, has done this for several other presidents in the past. And so it's this big respected thing. And it's possible maybe she was just looking to get some amazing historical profile of herself as one of the sane people in the White House. That's what the left seems to be speculating on. Who knows? But I couldn't see, just because of the way Trump is. He doesn't like leaks, he doesn't like people trashing his own people. He usually would get very angry at someone making such a stupid mistake in effort to give this material to a hard left outlet. It doesn't make any sense. So the one thing, one theory I thought might have had some validity was that this was proposed to her or presented to her as if it was a book that would come out after the term was over. Now all these people, and this doesn't make any sense to me because I don't care about your book that comes out after. I'm still not talking to you.
Glenn Beck
Neither do I.
Co-host or Guest Commentator
But everybody inside of the DC Beltway does this. They all go to these authors and they all spill the beans for these books that come out in the aftermath.
Glenn Beck
I don't know why.
Co-host or Guest Commentator
It's like a tradition in Washington. So maybe with the idea that this would come out after everything was over and then instead it wanted to be converted into some big Vanity Fair profile.
Glenn Beck
I don't know.
Co-host or Guest Commentator
It doesn't really make much sense. But that's the only theory that I can even think of that makes any sense.
Glenn Beck
Because none of it otherwise, none of it makes sense. Maybe Steven Spielberg and aliens are involved. I don't know.
Co-host or Guest Commentator
That could be it. That's the more likely scenario.
Glenn Beck
I wouldn't rule it out. I'm just saying.
