Kind of a frightening moment in, in New York. And even Van Jones said, wow, that is a different person. Mamdani took off the mask in his victory speech last night, showing who he truly really is and has been the whole time. Also, Chip Roy is here to talk to us a little bit about, you know, the defunding of care through tax exempt status. I mean, should there be groups that are tied to terrorist organizations that are getting tax breaks or funding from the US And Riley Moore joins us. He is the representative from West Virginia who is going to talk to us a little bit about are we going to send troops to Nigeria? I mean, what, what is happening in Nigeria, how bad is it, and what is our responsibility there? All that and more on today's podcast. Let me tell you about Relief Factor. Every morning, pain tells you a story you didn't ask it to tell. A slower step, a held breath, a plate, you know, left until tomorrow. Over time, those little moments add up, you know, not because you're weak, but because your body is telling you something really important. Don't do something, don't do that. Something inside is not good and it's slowing you down. Relief Factor. It doesn't just try to silence the symptoms with that quick fix that wears off. It works with your body to address the inflammation that keeps the pain lingering. It's a daily approach. Doctors helped design it. Millions of people have said it finally helped them start doing the things that they thought were behind them. Bending to tie a shoe without grimacing. Sleeping through the night. I'm on that one. Walking out the door without planning the day around the pain. I mean, it's just gutting you day after day. Reclaim the small freedoms that make life feel full again. The longer hug the backyard weekend project, the walk with somebody you love. Give the three week quick start a try. It's 1995.

Chip Roy
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We are so glad that you're here. I want to start with the analysis from Van Jones on the Mamdani speech last night. Listen to what he said.
Van Jones
I think the Mamdani that we saw in the campaign trail, who was a lot more calm, who was a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing, was not present in that speech. And I think that Mamdani is the one you need to hear from tonight. There are a lot of people trying to figure out, can I get on this train with him or not? Is he gonna include me? Is he going to be more of a class warrior or even in office? I think he missed a chance tonight to open up and bring more people into the tent. I think his tone was sharp. I think he was using the microphone in a way that he was almost yelling. And that's not the Mom Donnie that we've seen on TikTok and the Great interviews and stuff like that. So I felt like there's a little bit of a character switch here where the warm, open, embracing guy that's close to working people was not on stage tonight, and there was some. Some other voice on stage.
Stu
Huh?
Chip Roy
Huh?
Glenn Beck
It's almost like a mask has come off. What a surprise.
Stu
Yeah. By the way, just quick recommendation for anyone in New York. If Mom Dottie tries to get you on a train, don't. Don't go.
Glenn Beck
It's a terrible idea. Stay away from them. I'm very good points, too. I might have even gotten onto that train without realizing. Very good point. Very good point.
Stu
I don't think, as a German, you'll be invited. Glenn.
Glenn Beck
No trades. No trades. Okay, so here's Mamdani, and this is how angry. Listen. How angry he is when he's talking about Donald Trump. Listen to this.
Mamdani
So, Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you. Turn the volume up.
Glenn Beck
I guess. Turn it up on the tv.
Mamdani
We will hold bad landlords to account because the Donald Trumps of our city have grown far too comfortable taking advantage of their tenants.
Glenn Beck
He's screaming. Why would we need to turn the volume up?
Mamdani
An end to the culture of corruption that has allowed billionaires like Trump to evade taxation and exploit tax breaks, not corruption.
Glenn Beck
Change the tax laws.
Mamdani
We will stand alongside unions and expand labor protections. Because we know, just as Donald Trump does, that when working people have ironclad rights, the bosses who seek to extort them become very small indeed. New York City of immigrants. A city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants. And as of tonight, led by an immigrant.
Glenn Beck
A very angry immigrant whose own mother says he doesn't identify as an American. I mean, can I just spend a minute on this? Because he's absolutely right. New York was built by immigrants. America was built by immigrants. I mean, unless you're a native American, you're an immigrant, okay? And I make the case that you might have come from Asia, even if you're an American, you know, native.
Riley Moore
You.
Glenn Beck
Know, go back far enough, you weren't on this continent, so. So I agree. All built by immigrants. But we have a difference now of immigrants. Listen to this from Teddy Roosevelt. There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I don't refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I've ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all. This is just as true of a man who puts native before the hyphen as a man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance. Think about this. Think about this in what's happening with the Somali communities. Think about Minnesota. Think about Dearborn. Think about New York. Think about. Think about what's being said about and to immigrants today. If he is heartily and singly loyal to this republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good as an American as anyone else. The one absolute, certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities. An intricate knot of German Americans, Irish and Americans, English Americans, French Americans, Scandinavian Americans, Italian Americans. Notice, by the way, he's not attacking people of color. These are all people from Western Europe, so this isn't something new. And it's not about racism. Scandinavian. Yeah, boy, you must hate white people. Those are the whitest white people on the planet, for the love of Pete. The men who do not become Americans and Nothing else are hyphenated Americans and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and yet who shows by his actions that he's primarily the citizen in the life of our body politic. He has no place here. And the sooner he returns to the land in which he feels his real heart allegiance, the. The better it'll be for every good American. There's no such thing as a hyphenated American who's a good American. The only man who's a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else. I mean, you know, when he said that in the early 1900s, he was talking about a whole different class of immigrants, race wise. But it doesn't matter. Hyphenated American race. If you are an American, you don't see race. People have in the past and it's been wrong to do it. And you know who really saw that clearer than anyone else? The progressives. Margaret Sanger being one of them. The progressive movement. They're the ones who wanted to separate races for the love of Pete. So he's now angry and he's jamming a wedge between Americans and immigrant Americans. Listen to the next cut here.
Mamdani
As has so often occurred, the billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30 an hour that their enemies are those earning $20 an hour. They want the people.
Glenn Beck
Stop for a second. Stu, can you explain that? Play that again. Explain this sentence to me. Play it again from the top.
Mamdani
As has so often occurred, the billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30 an hour that their enemies are those earning $20 an hour.
Glenn Beck
Stop. What does that mean? What does that mean? Does that mean.
Stu
I mean, the case is that the Republican Party, the rich, evil rich people, billionaires, billionaires are saying, are trying to convince everybody that the problem in our country are the poor people.
Glenn Beck
So exactly the opposite of what he's doing. He's trying to convince the people who are $20 hour laborers that the 32 billionaire class is their problem, is their enemy. No?
Stu
Very true. You might find some hypocrisy.
Glenn Beck
A little bit. A little bit. Go ahead, play the rest, please.
Mamdani
They want the people to fight amongst ourselves so that we remain distracted from the work of remaking a long broken system. We refuse to let them dictate the rules of the game anymore. They can play by the same rules as the rest of us.
Glenn Beck
Amen. I'm bald for that.
Mamdani
Together we will usher in a generation of change. And if we embrace this brave new course Rather than fleeing from it, we can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves.
Glenn Beck
Now he goes on the very next sentence, which we didn't grab. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it's the city that gave rise to him. If there is any way to terrify a despot, it's by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. How did Donald Trump accumulate power? How do you do that? Capitalism. Capitalism. He accumulated power by making money, by creating businesses, by building, you know, New York, a lot of New York was built by Donald Trump. So that's how he accumulated power. So what he's saying here, you want to talk about the mask coming off? What he's saying here is we have to now dismantle that system of capitalism because that's what gave him power. One last cut. 47, please.
Mamdani
After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. Listen, if there is any way to terrify a desperate it, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.
Stu
So obsessed with this guy.
Mamdani
This is not only how we stop Trump, it's how we stop the next one.
Glenn Beck
It's amazing. It's going to be interesting to watch New York City over the next four years. Very, very interesting because he is, he's going to be pushed by the left. They are going to demand that he does these things and he wants to do them. So let's see what he gets done and how many great changes are coming to that city. You may have noticed lately, everything costs more. Your paycheck just doesn't stretch, you know, as far as it used to. We're all doing the same things. We're paying the mortgage, making the minimums, keeping up with life. And it feels like you're running a race that just keep adding new laps. You're like, wait, I thought the race was. No. Truth is most people aren't drowning because they're irresponsible. They're drowning because the system is stacked now in a way that you can't get out. Nobody ever taught you how to fight back financially. This is where American financing comes in. This is what they do.

Stu, give me an update, quick highlight of everything that we covered in hour number one and any new additional information on the election last night.
Stu
Yeah, it was always gonna be an uphill battle for Republicans, an off year election when the Republican is in power. Also, most of these elections taking place in blue states. So it kind of gave you a range of outcomes from if everything goes, the best case possible for Republicans would be close victories, squeaking out victories in some of these states and probably close losses in some of the situations. And the range of outcomes went to the idea that it could be a blowout all over the board. Much closer to that side of the outcome spectrum, if you will. It was a bad night for Republicans and there's very little I can find honestly to be super excited about. But it is important to not overstate the meaning of all of this either. As I said, blue states, this is an uphill battle for Republicans anyway. So it doesn't mean 2026 is lost or 2028 is lost. But look, if you thought everything was going swimmingly, this is a nice wake up call. You should be concerned and we're gonna have to work really hard.
Glenn Beck
And I think this should be a wake up call for everybody in the administration as well. The President is doing things that are affecting our economy here. He is working on changing the globalist design to make things American first. And other countries, they can be first too in their own way, but trying to, to bring back, to get away from this globalist new world order and back to a system where everybody is working for their country and trying to help and work along. And we all have the free market and that is going to affect us eventually, but it's not affecting the average person yet. And when it comes to 2026, you know, the gas prices being as low as they are is not good enough because energy prices for Electricity are going up. People need to have some confidence that the economy is turning page in a better direction in the next year. Otherwise it could be very tough, as it always is for a sitting president. They always lose in Congress. It would be a huge, huge upset of tradition if the Republicans gain, but we cannot lose the House. All right, let me go to Chip Roy. Chip is joining us. He is introducing a new bill called the. What is it called? I love the name of this thing. Chip, what is the name of this bill?
Chip Roy
I don't remember what the name of it is. This is to stop care from having tax status in any terrorist organizations.
Glenn Beck
The no Tax Exemptions for Terror Act. I love that. I mean, that is the clearest a bill has ever been. The no Tax Exemptions for Terror Act. Love it. Yeah. So what is it exactly?
Chip Roy
We came up with that on Friday when we were filing the bill and we were coming back and forth, and my chief of staff came up with that title credit to her. But we. Look, here's the thing. And if I can take one minute to pretend that I'm sitting in Glenn Beck's studio on television and I'm going at it, I'm going to do whiteboards, okay? And so for your listeners out there, like, pretend for a minute that I've got that video capability. Imagine, if you will, enormous number of bubbles of NGOs and all of these nonprofits that are out there under the cloak of things like Catholic charities or Jewish groups or evangelical groups, or maybe they're secular groups and they seem all nice and they're doing all these nice and warm and fuzzy things, but they're all involved with moving people into our country. Right? They're all a part of the 250 organizations that the center for Immigration Studies said were a part of the mass invasion during the Biden administration. Now over here, create a group of bubbles that are all of the groups that are pushing the district attorneys that are radical Marxists. The Soros funded DAs that are putting criminals on our streets. And there's a whole cadre over there under the Wren Collective that the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund outlined. Now over here on this board, show the bubbles.
Glenn Beck
Wait, we lost you. Show the bubbles at what.
Chip Roy
They want to see. Radical Sharia on our streets. Now, on top of the board put the Arabella group, which are Democrat operatives with Clinton and with Biden, you know, operatives. And they're all an organization with, and coordinated with the bubbles above them, which are the funding streams from Bill Gates, from George Soros, from. From radical Billionaires across the country and taxpayer dollars, money through the United nations, grant money from the United States going to all of those NGOs. Remember the first bubbles that I put on the board? And all of that money is then being coordinated in a war against you and me and freedom and Western civilization. So, yes, I believe CAIR and every other one of these organizations that are radicalized against Americans ought to be not just disbanded from their C3 status, but probably broken up and we should go through and look at the conspiracy that they're involved in and probably violating our laws in RICO violations, but at a minimum, we should take away their tax status. So I introduced legislation to do that as a shot across the bow, and we need to go further than that. I hope that's clear without a video board.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, it is. I have, you know, I. I made it as you were doing it. I just. I just kind of put it together the way you suggested, all these little bubbles. And you can see, I mean, it's. It's pretty bad. And what's crazy is that we did not assume that our tax dollars were going to any of these places. I mean, they have gotten so wicked and so smart the way, you know, I always knew that Soros and the Tides Foundation. And you suspect that, gosh, you have all of this money and it's all going out the door, and nobody knows where that money is going. And we focus. When we find out what the budget is, we're like, wait, you're doing turtle studies on what? And nobody is asking, but wait a minute, what about the other trillion dollars that nobody is tracking that are just going out to these NGOs? We are funding our own demise 100%, Glenn.
Chip Roy
And that's exactly right. And I'm glad you said that, because Republicans, with all due respect to my colleagues, get distracted with shiny objects and they go say. And I look, I've done it too, right? Because it's easy to say. And you go out there and you say, oh, yeah, what do the Turtle funding? Or it went to this waste. And people go, oh, my God, that's terrible. It's like $5 million. The real engine is that flow of money. So that, okay, dollars that are going in, you know, to organizations that a lot of people view, and because they do some good work, they go to some organization, take Catholic charities or take some evangelical groups or whatever, some Jewish organization, and you go, you're sending them money because, oh, they're doing good things and they're helping people. But then you start realizing you peel Back the Onion. And they're all a part of all of this and the grants that flow through so that when your Todd Benson or my friends from the center for Immigration Studies and you're down at the Darien Gap and you see that the United nations money, United States taxpayer money grants, we're going to these organizations to funnel people from around the world to come up through Mexico and into the United States or be flown by plane into the United States. And then you wonder why we have so many Somalis and so many Muslim Sharia adherents that have dumped into our country. It's heavily because of what we've been funding. It's heavily because of our money that we give to the United Nations. So we need to stop that and we need to be look, what I've done with this bill is one step of a thousand. We need to take, right the bill that I did two weeks ago to say let's start vetting people for adherence to Sharia law. Let's pass HR2. Let's do a bill. I'm going to introduce a bill this week to say we should freeze all immigration until we've actually got a handle on all of the ways in which it's being abused, whether it's birthright, citizenship, plyl or veto, which says we have to educate illegal children. The Sharia adherence and making sure that we're not importing people that are hostile to Western civilization, making sure people aren't on the public goal. These are all things we need to do, Glenn, and we're not doing it. And we're funding the demise of our own country, and it needs to stop. And Congress needs to back up President Trump with at least as aggressive agenda as he's putting forward. We can't just pass the big beautiful bill and then pat ourselves on the back and hope we win the midterms. Let's go back to Congress. Let's pass a stock trading ban. Let's pass HR2 to secure the border. Let's codify some of the president's executive orders. Let's pass health care freedom and dismantle the stranglehold that insurance companies and hospital corporations have over our health care. Let's go to war for the American people. And then they'll want to go support us at the ballot box.
Glenn Beck
You know, there's this big reject AIPAC thing that is going on right now. And look, I think if you're going to do that, then you've got to do the American Cubans, the Iranian American, you know, pac. There's there's a ton of these, and I just want them all to play by the same rules. You know, whatever those rules are, everybody plays by the same rules. But, you know, one. One of the things we don't look at is, you know, you look at, like, apac, and I think it's. It's average, not election years, is about 60. What, 60 million. $60 million. It can't be. It's got to be billion. Nothing ever sounds big anymore. But they're spending all this money in the United States and everybody says, oh, well, they're just. They're controlling the United states. It is million. 30 to 60 million on average. Okay? But if you look at Saudi Arabia, that's state money, and they're spending $93 million and since 1986, $2.1 billion on our universities. And they're not alone. And nobody is saying anything about that. And I wonder why.
Chip Roy
Why, why? Glenn, I cannot thank you enough for bringing that up. Right. Especially in line. I'm not going to get into all this controversy the last week and everything that's been going on and. And, you know, with the Heritage foundation, all that stuff like, look, here's the bottom line. You've nailed it. Right? There is a vast, vast amount of money flowing into the United States from the Middle east and to our universities and into political organizations and designed very heavily to advance a march of people who want to upend our way of life, okay?
Glenn Beck
And China is involved in it, too, 100%.
Chip Roy
The ChiComs are 100% a part of that. And by the way, this is why we should be banning not just Chinese Communist Party ownership of our land, but frankly, any foreign national shouldn't be owning our land. Like, why are we letting people own Texas and buy Texas? This is one of the things, by the way, that I get a really strong reaction from people on the campaign trail. I talk about the Soros das, I talk about the border, I talk about Islamification. But then I talk about something else, Glenn, and it's related to what we're talking about the corporatification of Texas and of our, you know, great red states. We are allowing corporations to come in and buy up our homes, literally buying up our homes. We're allowing them to buy up our hospitals, prevent doctors from being able to form their own hospitals. We're allowing them to buy up our land, our cattle, our meatpacking plants. Some foreign owned, some domestic, but it's major corporate, and a lot of it's foreign. And I don't want to be governed by boardrooms in New York City any more than I want to be governed by the federal government. I want Texas to own Texas. I want Texans to own Texas. And that's one of the principal things I want to fight on as attorney general.
Glenn Beck
I tell you, there is this big beautiful hospital that was built just where my home in Texas was. And I was so excited to have this really great hospital that close. And after it was built, it was, I think it was like Texas doctor's hospital. And it was just all these independent doctors that wanted to do a hospital the way they wanted to do it. Hospital. And I walk in and because I didn't even know they had opened, but we had an emergency. And so I'm like, take him to the emergency room. I think it's open, take them to the emergency room. And it's. The entire place is empty. And the reason why is because these corporate hospitals said if you do anything with that hospital, you're out of our, of our system. You won't be having any privileges at our hospital. And they put that hospital out of it. Brand new, beautiful hospital doctors wanted their own independence and the big corporate hospital put them out of business. It was insane.
Chip Roy
This is a major problem and I know we're covering a lot of topics, but it's all relative, it's all related, Glenn. I mean this, this is a war against our way of life. And Republicans better get busy providing alternative solutions, both calling out the war so that people know it and see it because they all feel it, but also then provide alternatives. Look, I put out five years ago a 50 page document called that Case for Healthcare Freedom. And well, actually I introduced the bill five years ago. I put out the Case for Healthcare Freedom two years ago. And that document outlines an array of options where we empower patients, empower doctors, expand health savings accounts, expand direct primary care, give people tools, allow them to be able to control their career and drive prices down, free up doctors so you're not having corporate owned hospitals and insurance companies making your decisions. Now that is an environment that most Americans would prefer and nobody will be left out. Prices will go down. Health sharing ministries can fill the void. Medicare and a lot of other options and we can have the shining city on the hill. Let's go to talk about that to the American people. Let's talk about driving housing prices down by eliminating private equity and all of these big corporate ownership of local dirt in our communities. Allow only individuals to own homes and our dirts in our communities and farms to be locally owned by Texans. We can Then have cattle that you grow in Texas, slaughter in Texas, put in stores in Texas and eat by Texans. That's the way we ought to do things. I'm all for free trade. So are you. So are most of us that love free enterprise 100%. But I want to make sure we don't have corporate decision makers with crony capital dollars from government that are regulated telling us how to live. And then wonder why the socialists are on the march and wonder why Mavdani is elected because we're not offering bold solutions that will excite the American people. And that was exactly right, by the way, what Charlie Kirk did a great job of and why he inspired young people. And he was also unafraid to talk about his faith. But that's a different conversation.
Glenn Beck
Chip, I got to run, but thank you so much. You should read this. It's a Blaze exclusive. Chip Roy introduces bill to strip absurd tax exempt status from care and other groups with terrorist ties. Should have ended it long ago. Chip Roy, thank you very much. If you want to get involved in his his Senate campaign. No, he's running for AG in in Texas. We make a great AG in Texas. Just follow him. Chip Roy, this is the best of.
Chip Roy
The Glenn Beck program.
Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Let's say hello to our friend Congressman Riley Moore, a Republican from West Virginia. You know, Riley, before we get into what's happening in Africa, can I just ask you what the heck is going to happen if the Supreme Court decides to say the president doesn't have a right to these tariffs? What happens?
Riley Moore
Well, you know, Glenn, I'm sitting on pins and needles on this one because I have been a huge supporter of these tariffs. I think it's going to help re industrialize our country, bring back these jobs that are actually meaningful to communities like mine in the state of West Virginia. We are going to have to try to find some way to work around this, depending on how this case comes down, as it were, to come down in the negative and look through the details of that or pass legislation here to give the President the authority, which I think he rightfully already has as the President of the United States to levy these tariffs. So I'm very hopeful that this goes the way that it should. But certainly watching very closely.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I don't think it's going that way just based on the questions that are coming out in the Supreme Court today. They seem very, very skeptical. And you know, I'm not sure the president has that constitutional authority. I'm just worried about the aftermath because we're deep in it now. What, what it's going to happen. This is not going to be good. It's not going to be good. All right, Riley, let me talk to you about Nigeria and what's happening in Nigeria. It is the scariest, most deadly country in the world. If you happen to be a Christian and nobody seems to be talking about it and, you know, you have been involved in, you know, urging Secretary Rubio to say Nigeria is a country of particular concern, which I don't know what that means exactly. What doors does that unlock?
Riley Moore
Yeah, so that is. That designation actually sits in US code. So it does unlock 15 different levers for the president. When a country is designated a country of particular concern, that could be holding development money that could be going to international institutions to freeze assistance through there. That could also halt security assistance, which would be arms sales and training and things like that that have been going on in Nigeria. We could sanction individuals. It gives the president the authority to do a number of different things that can really, I think, leverage the Nigerians to actually start caring about our brothers and sisters in Christ who have been getting murdered for the profession of their faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. So I think this is a good first step and we're going to see how the Nigerians react to this. Now I've been having meetings with Department of State. We are going to meet with the Nigerians here at some point as well here in D.C. so we're going to see what they're going to bring to the table. But also the president, who always puts all options on the table, has said if they don't start fixing this, there could potentially be kinetic military action on in Nigeria.
Glenn Beck
What does that mean? Boots on the ground?
Riley Moore
No, to me, it does not mean that to me you have. You have complex issues that are going on over there. Where you have. In the middle band of the country, this is where the Fulani's are. And these are herdsmen. And this is where you get this radical strain. Obviously Islamic terrorists, These Fulani, these are herdsmen tribe and they have been attacking Christians in that middle band. The northern part of the country is mostly Muslim. Southern part of the country is mostly Christian. So that middle part where they graze their cattle and all that is where you see a lot of these flashpoints and murdering going on. But then in the northern part of the country, country is where you have isis, Boko Haram, that's where they are operating and where they're taking over towns and communities, as we saw in Syria, right. Previously. Same type of thing. Terrorism franchising going on over there all through the Lake Chad region, actually. So that's where I think if it made sense to have some type of military action in forms of an airstrike or something like that, to be able to tamp down some of the leadership and break up some of that structure in there, that's something that would make sense. But to me, just speaking for myself, I want to try to work with the Nigerians for them to do the right thing here. President Trump obviously mentioned his truth social me specifically to look into this, which we are doing here in Congress. I want them to do the right thing. I think the Nigerians actually have the chance right now to actually strengthen their relationship with the United States if they're going to do the right thing. But we can't allow to continue the slaughter of Christians where we have over 7,000 just this year have been killed for being Christian. We can't allow that to continue as a Christian country ourselves, which we are. I know we're. You know, some might debate that, I promise you. And nobody knows more about the founding of this country than Glenn Beck is that this is a Christian nation founded on Christian values. And we have to stand up for these people because nobody else is paying attention to this other than you and some folks at Fox News. And that's really about it.
Glenn Beck
Well, I tell you, you know, I was planning on bringing my cameras with me and I was going to go to Nigeria in the first quarter and I have had briefings and warnings from the highest levels. Do not go. You are not going. And I'm like, yes, I am. I want to bring this story. And they're like, you can't go. I mean, I've been to war zones and this one, they're like, this is the most dangerous place on earth right now. That's pretty remarkable that nobody's really talking about.
Riley Moore
Really is. And it's this silent genocide that's just continued on now since 2009 where we have in between 50 to 100,000 Christians murdered for their faith. Our brothers and sisters over there suffering and no one's done anything about it. You might remember the bring back our Girls movement around 2012ish. 1470 of those girls have still never been brought back. And it's just people just forgot about it. That's fine. You know, Boko Haram just has them. It's not fine. It's not okay. And there are a lot of levers that the administration is able to pull here. I think to get the Nigerians on the right course. It's not that they don't have resources. This is an oil rich country with a lot of critical minerals. They have the means to be able to do this. I think at the end of the day, it's a question of prioritization and what their actual goals are. And we need them to focus on this or the President is going to start to focus on them.
Glenn Beck
Well, I will tell you, 19,000 churches have been burned, and yet from what I'm hearing, there are some in the Nigerian government that are like, no, this is not what's happening. This is not genocide. It's not about Christians. It's just, you know, it's just squabbles, really. 50 to 100,000 people in 19,000 churches have been burned in little squabbles that don't have anything to do with radicalized Islam.
Riley Moore
No, exactly. And the figures that I've gotten from folks on the ground is, look, do terrorists kill other people than Christians? Yes, of course they do. But we're talking about five to one is the ratio Christians versus non Christians being killed over there right now. Secondly, I want to point out for everybody, President Trump put this designation on Nigeria in his first term. It was taken off by the Biden administration because they claimed the killings had more to do with arable land and herders. And actually the root cause was climate change. Yes. That's why these killings are happening, because of climate change, which that's where we saw the murder rate just skyrocket during the Biden administration. And President Trump, who cares very deeply about these issues, he's not going to allow that to persist anymore.
Glenn Beck
He said if there is an attack, it will be fast, vicious and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs that attack our cherished Christians. I will tell you, I've been reading up on it and doing our homework. And it reminded me of how the Germans went into Poland where they would just take whole communities and they would just put them in the church and then lock the doors and then burn it to the ground. That's what's happening in Nigeria. They're doing the same thing. They're burning churches. Not just burning churches, they're gathering Christians up, putting them in, locking the doors and then burning it down. So that all of these women and children and men die in a fire in their church.
Chip Roy
Yes.
Glenn Beck
And it's horrific. It's horrific. What does the average person need to do?
Riley Moore
The average person needs to call their member of Congress and elevate this and make this an issue that is on their radar that they care about. I'm introducing resolution which would be a sense of Congress that we support the president and we support the people and the Christians of Nigeria and their plight and we condemn what the Nigerian government is doing, their inaction around this. So that resolution should be getting introduced here soon. So that would be something that would be hugely helpful.
Glenn Beck
It will be interesting to see who votes for that and who doesn't. That would have been, that would have been a no brainer 15 years ago. I'm just a no brainer. And now I wonder if you can even get that passed. That's sad.
Riley Moore
It is sad. And but I think we need to put it to the test. Let's put it to the test. I'm certainly, you know, if I'm whipping the boats, I don't have Elon Omar in my yes. Column. But you know, let's, let's put it to the test here.
Glenn Beck
Riley, good to talk to you. My best to your family and your kids. Thank you so much. You bet. Congressman Riley Moore, you can follow him on X at Rep. Riley moore or riley moore.house.gov.
This episode dives into recent political developments, with an initial focus on New York’s latest election and the fiery victory speech by Mamdani, explored through a critical lens. Glenn Beck and co-host Stu analyze the shift in tone among progressive politicians and question the implications for American identity and unity. Rep. Chip Roy joins to discuss legislation aimed at revoking tax-exempt status from non-profits with alleged terrorist connections, and Rep. Riley Moore addresses U.S. policy on Nigeria amid escalating violence against Christians. The episode weaves in themes of American principles, border security, corporate influence, and foreign policy.
- Analysis of Tone and Political Posture:
"The warm, open, embracing guy that’s close to working people was not on stage tonight, and there was some other voice on stage." — Van Jones (03:23)

Glenn reads from Teddy Roosevelt’s 1910 speech decrying “hyphenated Americanism,” echoing the need for undivided national allegiance (06:25–10:33):
"There’s no such thing as a hyphenated American who’s a good American. The only man who’s a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else." — Teddy Roosevelt (cited by Glenn Beck at 08:10)

- Christian Genocide in Nigeria:
Moore presses for the U.S. to designate Nigeria a “country of particular concern,” opening the door to various sanctions and aid restrictions, and possibly military action (33:38–35:03):
"It gives the president the authority to do a number of different things that can really, I think, leverage the Nigerians to actually start caring about our brothers and sisters in Christ who have been getting murdered for the profession of their faith." — Riley Moore (33:56)
He details the dynamics of the violence, noting the roles of Fulani herdsmen, Boko Haram, and ISIS in targeted attacks against Christians (35:07–36:38).
- Biden vs. Trump on Policy:
Moore contrasts the present and previous administration’s responses, criticizing the Biden administration for removing Trump’s “country of particular concern” designation on Nigeria and blaming climate change for the crisis, which he calls inaccurate and dangerous (39:36–40:38):
"...the root cause was climate change. Yes. That’s why these killings are happening, because of climate change, which that’s where we saw the murder rate just skyrocket during the Biden administration." — Riley Moore (40:07)
Glenn likens the atrocities to Nazi crimes, sharing vivid reports of church burnings and mass killings.
- Call to Action:
“The average person needs to call their member of Congress and elevate this and make this an issue...” — Riley Moore (41:23)
The episode is quintessentially “Glenn Beck”: urgent, conversational, and deeply skeptical of both progressive domestic policy and international globalist agendas. The style blends historical references and personal anecdotes with polemical policy analysis. Glenn’s tone is alternately incredulous, exasperated, and passionate, shared by his guests, who underscore their arguments with granular legislative and foreign policy details.
In this episode, the Glenn Beck Program delivers a sweeping critique of progressive politics, funding networks undermining U.S. sovereignty, and global religious persecution. Through direct interviews with Rep. Chip Roy and Rep. Riley Moore, the program spotlights new legislative efforts and international crises that, in Beck’s view, threaten traditional American values and security. Listeners are urged to stay vigilant, advocate for policy change, and be proactive in national and international matters.
