Fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Glenn Beck (3:56)

Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. I want to start a personal place today because I did something that I should not have done last night. I couldn't sleep. I got up and for the first time in a long time, I just went down that X rabbit hole. Good heavens, man, what a cesspool. What is happening to us? Hi. At some point I recognized it and then I thought, oh, I gotta shut this off. And then the. The talk show host in me is like, no, I just gonna keep going. So I want to see if. Does this ever get. No, no, no, like, no, hope. Like, that's. That's kind of where I'm starting from today and not a good place to be. So I want to give you some of the stories and put up with me here for a minute. I. I got to get this out of my system. We'll do that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Our sponsor is the burner launcher. Most people go through life assuming nothing bad is ever going to happen, right up until the moment that something does. And when that moment arrives, you know, it's not the headlines or the statistics that matter. It's whether you have a way to protect yourself without making that terrible situation even worse. That's why I love the burner launcher. It is non lethal. It is effective. It doesn't require a permit or anything else. It uses pepper and tear gas projectiles to stop a threat long enough for you to get to safety. And I want to say long enough. 45 minutes. I mean, you could stop, have a quick sandwich, and then get out before they're back up on their feet. It's legal in all 50 states. This is about having time and distance and control in a moment when everything else feels out of control. Should be in your purse. Should be, you know, in the small of your back, or it should be on your hip or in a backpack. Order on Amazon and get your Byrna before Christmas. Or you can visit Byrna B Y R N a dot com blend and find a retailer near you, like Sportsman's Warehouse. Pick yours up today at byrna by rna.com blend I'm gonna take you to Chico, California. An elderly Target employee found herself at the center of national attention recently over the weekend. Yesterday, it really kind of came to a head. She was being filmed by somebody who. I mean, I don't know how you describe this person. Honestly, the individual berated her because she was wearing a red shirt. I guess everybody at Target needs to wear a red shirt, but you can wear whatever red shirt you want in this red shirt. You know, just said freedom on it and had the flag on it and then said Charlie Kirk. Well, that apparently is enough in Chico, California to have the Target customers come at you with a vengeance. Listen to what happened.

Woman confronting Jeannie (6:49)

Why they let you wear that shirt here?

Stu Burguiere (6:52)

Yes.

Sam (6:52)

Why?

Jeannie from Target (6:54)

Why are you taking my picture?

Woman confronting Jeannie (6:56)

Why are you wearing that shirt? You're working. It's not a Charlie shirt.

Jeannie from Target (6:59)

I can wear red, any red shirt.

Woman confronting Jeannie (7:02)

It's not a plain shirt.

Jeannie from Target (7:04)

It doesn't have to be.

Woman confronting Jeannie (7:05)

It's a Charlie Kirk shirt.

Jeannie from Target (7:07)

Yes. Oh, yes, I know.

Woman confronting Jeannie (7:08)

Are you stupid?

Stu Burguiere (7:10)

No.

Woman confronting Jeannie (7:10)

Why the would you wear that? You're at work at Target. That's not Target shirt. It's not a plain red shirt. You support a racist?

Jeannie from Target (7:20)

It's not racist.

Woman confronting Jeannie (7:22)

You support a racist?

Jeannie from Target (7:24)

He's not a racist.

Woman confronting Jeannie (7:25)

Yes, he is. Yes, he is.

Jeannie from Target (7:27)

I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna stand here and argue with you.

Glenn Beck (7:30)

You're not.

Woman confronting Jeannie (7:30)

You should go get your manager. You should not be allowed to wear the at work. Unacceptable. Un acceptable.

Jeannie from Target (7:37)

That's your opinion.

Woman confronting Jeannie (7:38)

The opinion is he's a racist and you support him.

Jeannie from Target (7:41)

That's your opinion.

Glenn Beck (7:42)

Yes, sir.

Woman confronting Jeannie (7:42)

And you should. You should not be allowed to wear that. This is going to be taken above your head. That's insane.

Glenn Beck (7:49)

All right? Insane. Okay, I, I Stop. I, I just. Let me take you to a Longfellow poem written around this time of the year. That's what makes this show different. Who else is going to Longfellow from that? I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play and wild and sweet the Words repeat of peace on earth, good will to men, and thought how, as the day had come, the belfries of all Christendom had rolled along the unbroken song of peace on earth, goodwill to men. Tell ringing, singing on its way, the world revolved from night to day. A voice, a chime, a chance sublime of peace on earth, goodwill to men. I woke up this morning with that poem on my mind after. After spending, I don't even know, an hour going down this rabbit hole and seeing poison, absolute poison. You want to know what's wrong with our society? We're all going down that rabbit hole. I haven't done that in a while. Good heavens, don't go down that rabbit hole. With ringing and singing on its way. I don't feel that at all today. I feel as though the world has revolved from day to night, not from night to day. Despair is what I feel, but that's what the algorithm wanted me to feel. If you're watching that algorithm, you are. You see a world. You see a civilization that is coming apart at the seams. Our children are lost. So suicide is at record levels. An enemy that once tried to stamp out the Christian world a threat thousand years ago is back, and this time with a vengeance. And we barely understand it. We refuse to even, even name it. We refuse to even look at it. We excuse it. Meanwhile, we're building our own cage, brick by brick, of debt and ignorance and hatred. My gosh, the hatred. Then from each black, accursed mouth. The cannons thundered in the south, and with the sound the carols drowned of peace on earth, goodwill to men, the canary in the coal mine. The Jewish people are spiritual kin under attack. In a way I prayed we would never see again. We all promised it would never happen again. We haven't seen this since the dark clouds started to form in the 1930s. Things we all swore, never again. And yet here we are. Half the population is cheering. It seems a quarter is excusing it. Well, I don't know. They do make a good point, but I don't think they should be killed. And the rest of us are standing frozen, looking at each other, going, what the hell is happening? How is this happening? What is wrong with the people I once called friends? Longfellow wrote, it was as if an earthquake. It is as if an earthquake rent the hearthstones of a continent and made forlorn the households born of peace on earth, goodwill to men. Feel like an earthquake. Does anybody recognize how many will even recognize that? I believe we're in the early Days of World War 3. It is so clear. If you take a step back and you look at the big picture, it's clear we are at the beginning of massive civilizational change that usually includes collapse and world war, except this time, there is no America riding to the rescue, because America is just tearing itself apart. There's no rising power in the wings. We're all in the same boat, and we're all lost in a fog with no apparent lighthouse. This is how it always happens. Civilizations that follow this path always, always bring about their own destruction. As I'm going down this rabbit hole last night, I'm looking, what, what are people even talking about? Why is everybody hating one another? The petty politics and the petty politicians. And meanwhile, I, I Last night, I'm like, this is what we're arguing about. This is what we're arguing about. It took a lot for me to get out of bed this morning and come in because I don't want anything to do with this. Because while we are doing all of that, we are failing to see our neighbors, the ones who have lost their jobs, People who are barely holding on to anything before COVID Those are who are forgotten, in pain, suffering, in silence, or worse, those just living a few feet away that are trapped in the shadows of their own minds. Man I related deeply to Longfellow this morning, and in despair, I hung my head. You know, when he wrote that poem, he was going through the nightmare of the civil War. His son Charles had run away to join the Union army. He was just coming home around Christmas time. He was gravely wounded. They carried back his broken body and his broken spirit. And he was in despair over this. And then his wife Fanny was in the kitchen cooking. And remember, it was all open fires, and she was wearing a big dress. He's in the other part of the house, and he starts to hear her scream. By the time he gets into where the. The hearth is with cooking, she's completely engulfed in flames. He grabs her, he throws her down to the ground. He rolls on top of her, does everything he can to put her out. And that's when he confesses. And in despair, I bowed my head. There is no peace on earth, I said, for hate is strong, mocks the song of peace on earth, goodwill to men. I've lived long enough and survived enough seasons of life to know that when you reach this place, There might be a glimmer of hope, but the heavens don't suddenly open up. You don't always see the light. You don't always feel the warmth right Away. You just have to choose. Peace on earth will come, just probably not today. And it's the kind of peace that he promises, deeper peace. The peace we search for in the quiet moments when we're alone. The peace that allows us to smile and perhaps shake our head even in despair. A piece that lets us see his hand moving in even the most bleak and messiest situations. The knowing deep down, somewhere in your bones that no matter what is happening right now, it's going to put us exactly where I need to be. And as I hung my head in despair, I thought of you. The millions in America, the millions more around the world who have it far worse than any of us can imagine. Yet you still carry hope. You're still carrying the light. I've seen it myself, just in the kindness that happened in the last week, just on this show. People coming together to help save a woman's life. The courage of the man in Australia who stopped a shooter at the risk of his own life because he just remembered the ancient, ancient truth that if not me, who? If not now, when this is wrong. Stop it. I see it in my own children who are facing a world I never had to. I can't relate to not knowing what tomorrow holds in parents who are struggling every day just to keep their family together, keep the house standing, pay the bills, put food on the table. Yet they get up every morning because despair, quitting self pity, doesn't have a home in them. The Lord is changing hearts, there is light. Those stories just don't trend on TikTok or X. I don't know how Longfellow got there, but I know how I got to the end of his poem, then peeled the bells more loud and deep. God is not dead, nor doth he sleep. The wrong shall fail, the right prevail with peace on earth, goodwill toward men. God's not dead. He is so active right now. He has not abandoned us. He has not abandoned you. We just might not see it yet. For surely he is not finished yet. Lifelock is our sponsor. And around Christmas we spend so much time thinking about gifts. Things to buy, things to wrap, things to check off a list. But one of the most meaningful gifts you can give somebody that you love is protection.

It's the most wonderful time. Well, tonight on Glen tv, our Wednesday night special. It is the the last episode of Glenn TV. For the past 14 years, we have been spending our nights together learning the truth, good and bad, about our country. We've exposed evil, you know, putting a billion. We should count how many magnets we have made and put on our chalkboards over the last 14 years. And tonight I wanted to take a look back and to show you what we've been through, what we've discovered together from 2011 until now. What's changed? What's stayed the same? What stupid things have we done? What stories were we way ahead on? And how far has America come? My staff will not tell me what clips that they have chosen. They want my raw reaction. Okay, so I'll be watching them back with you at the same time and commenting on them. I did request one clip and that is the time I laid out the entire Ilan Omar marriage scandal on the chalkboard. Oh, yes, she absolutely married her brother. I don't know if that might come in handy in 2026, but maybe we should brush off that super, super classic. I often say this, but this time it feels a little different. This is the end of a chapter. New chapter begins January 5th. But this, the end of a chapter is a show you don't want to miss. An end of an era and the start of a new one. Tonight, 6pm Eastern. Is it 6 or is it 9? Is it 6? Tonight on BlazeTV and on my YouTube channel, I think it's 6pm on YouTube and 9pm on Blaze TV. So we'll see you there, America.

Stu Burguiere (21:52)

Legitimately, a perfect way for you to end your reign of television shows here in the Blaze, not knowing when the show airs. Yeah, that's perfect.

Glenn Beck (22:00)

So I know when the show airs. I know it airs on the Blaze at 9pm, but my copy in front of me says tonight at 6. I think BlazeTV is at 9. YouTube is at 6 tonight, so. Okay, I miss it.

Stu Burguiere (22:12)

There you go. Hey, can I give you a little bit of good news related to your monologue? Jeannie? Yeah, our girl from Target, which by the way, just watching that video, she's so patient and kind and so patient. She doesn't get angry at all. She doesn't try to push back at all. She just, you know, I mean, I just wish I had that patience in a moment like that. But there was a givesend Go that was started for her and it said give fundraising to give Jeannie from Target a vacation, which she will get a pretty sweet vacation with $71,548 so far.

Glenn Beck (22:47)

Really sweet.

Stu Burguiere (22:48)

And that just obviously just beginning. I mean, this is a video people probably just saw. So check it out. It's GiveSendGo.com and it's Jeannie from Target. J E A N I E from Target. If you search there, you can donate if you like. She, she, she deserves a nice vacation.

Glenn Beck (23:06)

She does. We're, we're reaching out ourselves. I got something special I want to, I want to do for her as well myself. But if you go to GiveSendGo, if you'd like to, to send her the message that, hey, Jeannie, Woo, congratulations, you are a better person than I am. You really are. I'm going to talk about the person that, that filmed her doing this a little later on in the program. I just need to get out of this kind of mode. You know what I mean? Otherwise I'll say things that I don't want to say, maybe should be said. I'm not sure. Jesus wouldn't say him, so I'm not going to say him today. But we'll give you some more information on that. And give Send Go. It's genie from Target. GiveSendGo.com Jeannie from Target, if you'd like to, to help her out.

You know, most families don't sit around, you know, looking at their mortgage or their debt until one day it, it hits them. You know, these numbers are not moving in the right direction. You know, maybe it's the credit cards, maybe it's the rate that they locked in years ago, maybe it's the cost of living that is just piling up quietly in the background.

Glenn Beck (26:21)

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 hasn't 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 refused 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 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 we're 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 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 suddenly become. 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. 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. More in a minute. Let me tell you about my patriot supply. There are moments in history when the world just feels really, really unstable. You know little I mean, does it feel that way?

Jason (Chief Researcher) (35:07)

A little bit.

Glenn Beck (35:08)

You read the headlines in the news, you can watch the markets, you can, you know, look at all the other countries and way they're moving. My gosh, doesn't it just. See, I don't want to, I don't want to do this today. I just want to get to Christmas. I don't want to talk about all this stuff. This is not the time to be caught off guard.

Their four week emergency food kit is packed with meals that last for years, store easily, give you real calories that you can count on if things happen to go sideways. And right now, when you purchase a four week emergency food kit for your own family, they give you two one week food kits for free. It's not about fear, it's about responsibility.

Stu Burguiere (36:49)

A lot of people out there try every diet and every trend that comes along. You get the juice cleanses, the soup, diets, the raw only phase. There's a lot out there and if you stick with that pattern long enough, you eventually, you know, you lose the weight and then it finds its way back. Doctors call that weight cycling and half of Americans deal with this on a regular basis.

You know, people ask me all the time, why do you love stew so much? And I'd have to. To say it's for conversations like we just had off the air, he said. As soon as I get off the air, he said. So if hope is what you were trying to give people in the last 45 minutes, I'm not sure you landed that plane.

Sam (38:51)

Good.

Glenn Beck (38:51)

Thank you, Stu. I appreciate that.

Stu Burguiere (38:53)

It's, you know, look, it's a tough. I will say it's a tough time, especially if you spent some time on X. I can understand why you're maybe feeling this way.

Glenn Beck (39:02)

Any of them.

Stu Burguiere (39:03)

Yeah. I mean, it's not a knock on X in particular, but that one does seem to be politically the most toxic at times.

Glenn Beck (39:11)

It's the one that is the most political, unfortunately. But it is nasty.

Announcer (39:15)

It is.

Stu Burguiere (39:15)

It really is. I've noticed, too. I don't know if they made a switch on the website or the software or whatever, but when I go on Twitter, I feel like I actually have a relatively good experience. I mean, we joke about it being the worst thing in the world sometimes, but sometimes I get a lot of interesting information, and sometimes I'm hearing from people that I think are interesting and smart, and I've realized lately, I think they've made a change where maybe when I'm reloading it or something, it's kicking me into the for you tab. So there's for you and following are the two tabs. If you don't use Twitter, those are the two things. And so following is just a straight feed of the people you've chosen to look at, you've chosen to follow. And then for you is the algorithm's recommendations. Here's a bunch of content. And it's like when I'm in the following tab, which is where I am all the time. It's where I always live. It's pretty good. Like, you know, there's some crazy stuff in there, of course, but generally speaking, pretty good. And I'm pretty happy with it. But when it's been kicking me into the for your tab, I don't check. So I don't realize. I'm like, what is going on? This is insane. It's all really terrible. And it's all. Half the content is about how bad Jews are. And I'm like, what is this? And that's in the for you. When I go to the following.

Glenn Beck (40:28)

That is exactly what happened to me last night. I didn't even check. I didn't know it's up at the top. I bet it just opens into the for you. Not following. I don't want the for you.

Stu Burguiere (40:38)

No, the for you sucks. It's. It's some. You know, it's. It's the content that I guess the company wants you to have because it's the most infuriating and the most outrageous and the most likely to make you engage or throw your computer across the room. And it's like, if you curate your own group of people that are smart and interesting to you, that bring value, it's a pretty good service. You know, there's a lot on there that I really like. The for you is as if I'd rather light myself on fire. That is basically how I feel about.

Glenn Beck (41:09)

The for you tab on X. Oh, my gosh, Stu. I mean, I haven't been on X for more than probably five minutes maybe in the last two months.

Stu Burguiere (41:18)

Okay.

Glenn Beck (41:19)

And, yeah. And just. I'm just trying to stay off him. I'll get on. I'll post something. I get off. And. Oh, my gosh. I was like, has it always been this way? Because I. It just sucks you down into a place. You were like, we are doomed as human beings. And we're not doomed as human beings. We're not. We are. If we all go down that rabbit hole. I could not believe the things that were being said about people and about each other and each side. And it was the. It's the worst of humanity. And, you know, we have a responsibility. One of the things that I. I'm trying to do with the Torch next year, and we'll be doing a lot of different things, is I don't want to start. I don't. I'm tired of making it about people. And I. We've tried not to make it about people, but it is always just about people and politics and, you know, personalities. I'm tired of that. I want it to be about facts, and then I want it to be about. About something that is uplifting, true things that help me get through the day. I don't need something that says, oh, by the way, you want another load on your back? Here you go. Let me throw this concrete bag on your shoulder as well. I. I want something that will tell me the truth. That, yeah, you got a lot of concrete to haul, but. But also then will give me some. We. We have to stop shoveling garbage into our own heads. God, we have to. We have to. It is. It's all. It's each of our responsibilities. And if we don't stop shoveling the garbage in our head and start shoveling good things into our head, we're in trouble. I mean, you know the old adage, you know, as a man thinketh or, you know, you are what you eat. It's. It's a universal truth. That which you stare upon or gaze upon, you become. We're gazing upon garbage. Just garbage. And it was breathtaking. Just breathtaking.

Stu Burguiere (43:25)

Yeah. It's a situation, especially when you pull yourself out of it for a while and then go back in. You realize it's really like, it's not helpful in most sense. And I feel too, like I look at you look at your. I think it's your profile or something where they show you how many tweets you've sent or whatever. And I'm just like. I look back at that because I remember being in the studio in New York when Twitter kind of was first coming out. And as is with all these trendy things, I resist them for a very long time. And then I remember signing up on the air. We kind of joined it and we were talking about it. It was in May 2009, apparently May 2009, when we did that. Think about how many tweets I've sent, how much time I've read this stuff. And a lot of it's for work. And there's reasons I can justify it, but, God, I cannot possibly claim that that time was worthwhile. There's just. It's impossible to describe. What a giant waste of time. Now, over 16 years of me hopping on this website a couple times a day, just a total. Again, no knock on Elon Musk. I think he's great. He's made it better. It's been important for free speech. There's a lot of things to. You could say about it. But just personally, man, I just feels like a giant waste of time.

Glenn Beck (44:39)

Announcer (47:03)

Fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.

Glenn Beck (47:14)

Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We've got Chip Roy on. We're going to talk a little bit about his bill, about, you know, because the problem is not just illegal immigration, it's legal immigration as well. And if you haven't heard the story about the guy from China who is just fathering children just to get them here in the United States. And I think he's got 100 children now. He's just surrogates and he keeps sending them over here and they're all now citizens. Oh, that's, that's good craziness. We'll talk about that with Chip here and so much more in just a second. First, let me tell you about rough greens. One of the strangest things about having a dog is how much their energy changes over the years. They slow down a little, they sleep more, they don't run to the front door quite as fast. And we just tell ourselves, oh, it's just age catching up. But what about, what if a lot of getting older is actually a lack of nutrition? Because I saw that in Uno. Ruffed greens is designed to give you your dog back what processed food took away from your dog. So it's not a new brand of kibble. It's a powdered blend of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants that you add to their food that they already eat. And when their body finally gets what it's been missing, you start seeing little changes first, then bigger ones. More energy, better mobility, brighter attitude. Your dog doesn't have to slow down long before his or her time. Don't change your dog's food, just add rough greens. They're offering a free Jumpstart trial bag just to make sure your dog likes it as much as Uno has always loved it. You just cover ship and use the discount code. Beck. Claim your free bag of rough greens@ruffgreens.com r u f f greens.com promo code beck. Add rough greens and watch your dog's food and your dog come back to life. I mean, not in the literal sense. Your dog's not good anyway. Let me go to Chip. Roy. Hello, Chip. How are you, sir?

Chip Roy (49:03)

How are you? Merry Christmas, brother.

Glenn Beck (49:05)

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 (49:23)

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 re establish 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 and 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 H1.

Glenn Beck (51:29)

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 (51:35)

Right. 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, it's 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 plywood veto 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 (52:59)

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 he 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 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 (54:19)

Well, Glenn. And you know, and by the way, the thing I left out on the diversity basis, because I got up and I started talking about chain migration. But just so you know, right. 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 (56:38)

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.

Chip Roy (56:50)

Yep.

Glenn Beck (56:51)

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. Insure 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. It's crazy that that's not already happening. Suicide.

Chip Roy (57:44)

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 in 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. And, 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, 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 (59:36)

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. At preparing for a civilizational war?

Chip Roy (60:28)

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 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 going to introduce mortgage. Why 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, with all due respect, 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 (62:10)

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 (62:17)

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, countries for purposes of diversity in addition to the chain migration, in addition to H1B visas. 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 (63:20)

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 Chip on the Pause act again. You follow him on X at chiproytx. He is also running for candidate for Attorney General. What is your website, chip?

Chip Roy (63:44)

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 is upon us to pass this down to our kids and grandkids.

Glenn Beck (64:04)

Thank you so much, Chip. Roy, let me tell you about the International Fellowship. What happened on Bondi Beach. Supposed to be impossible, right? Festival of life. Children, families, people of faith, celebrating one of the oldest traditions in scripture, a celebration that honestly, Jesus observed. And yet in that moment of prayer and joy and singing, darkness stepped forward with a gun or a couple of them. And a world saw something it did not want to believe. Even on the other side of the globe, Jewish people are still being targeted. Not for their politics, not for any action they take, but because they're Jewish. Even with a ceasefire in Israel, the hatred has not stopped and it's going to get worse. This is why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews exists, to stand in that gap. When the world reminds us how fragile peace really is, they will provide safety, food, shelter and security for Jews and Israel, the former Soviet Union. Communities all over the world, where fear has become a daily reality, they need to know there are Christians that stand with him. You and I are called to be part of that light. Your gift today will help provide the security that God's people so desperately need. Rush your gift now. 888488 IFCJ. That's 888-488-4325 or you can give online at Glennforthefellowship.org that's Glennforthefellowship.org 10 seconds. Hey, let me. Last night I was using my chirp because sometimes I have just really bad back and you know, you can't always have a masseuse on call where where's my masseuse, please? And just really bad. Got on my chirp last night, started using it and I thought, there are so many people with bad backs. Could I give away a chirp today? This is 888-727. Beck. I'm asking, just. We're just gonna ask for. You know, be cool if you. If you have a really bad back, call. If you don't. I mean, this is something you ever. Not everybody can afford a really expensive massage chair, but you can get the chirp. And I want to give it to somebody who has a bad back just for Christmas. 888-727-back. I never, ever, ever do things like this. But I want to give a couple of these away. So if you have a really bad back. Honor system, please. Honor system.

Stu Burguiere (66:34)

Would you want the chirp if you didn't have a bad back? Would there be any. Any reason to have it?

Glenn Beck (66:39)

Yes.

Stu Burguiere (66:39)

It's just a nice massage.

Glenn Beck (66:40)

That's not who I'm giving it to. Yeah, it's a great massage. Well, I mean, it's a great massage.

Stu Burguiere (66:45)

I happen to have no influence as to how these calls get screened. I mean, I can make sure maybe I get that. My back's fine.

Glenn Beck (66:51)

No, he doesn't. No, he doesn't. He has no influence. Sarah, does he have any influence on this program? No. No. I think the answer is none.

Stu Burguiere (67:00)

Yeah, you should remember. I'm leaving. You should say no.

Glenn Beck (67:04)

Yeah, he has no juice anymore, Sarah. He has no juice. He's on Santa's naughty list.

Stu Burguiere (67:13)

No, that's great. Very nice. Very. That's interesting because you're acting like Santa Claus. But you look much more like the colonel today than even normal. So, Santa, KFC can give you a back ailment device.

The strangest thing about identity theft is how little you feel in the moment that it happens. You don't know it. There's no broken windows. There's no four store. There's no missing wallet. Crime starts quietly with somebody digging into your information, testing accounts, opening something in your name. And by the time you notice, the damage is already done. And that's, you know, why I've always said you can't outsmart identity thieves on your own. The game has changed. They're way ahead. And this is where LifeLock can make a real difference. They monitor. They monitor and look for signs of that. Somebody's trying to become you. Strange loan applications, new accounts, dark web trading. And they'll alert you if something isn't right. And if your identity is ever compromised, they have a restoration team that works with you to fix the mess up step by step. These people are experts at it. It only takes one criminal with a keystroke to turn your life upside down. LifeLock will help make sure you hear them and you see them long before they get to that door.

Glenn Beck (69:35)

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. You know, I don't know what they were doing kicking rocks in the snow, you know, in Rhode island, but it didn't fill me with confidence when I saw the FBI, you know, using their foot to scrape away the snow again. Probably the best thing you do whatever, I don't know. But it just didn't fill me with confidence that we have any idea we're still looking for the shooter at Brown University. It was a fat tub of lard, quite honestly. Looks like it. And he looks like he's white, maybe because you can see the, you know, the base of the neck is, you know, pretty pasty. But I, you know, I don't know. Can't see his face, that's for sure. Can't see anything about. How is it that we can't. I mean, really, that that is. The most observed campus, I think, of all campuses is Brown University. And this is as good as it gets, really.

Stu Burguiere (70:32)

It's bizarre that in 2025 we can have cameras everywhere so we can be monitored when we're just doing our general lives. But if we need to see the face of a criminal, we can never get a clear shot of them.

Glenn Beck (70:44)

Never.

Stu Burguiere (70:44)

We can never see any detail on their face. It's always blurry. These cameras. You can get all 70 zillion pixels. Can't capture anything of value.

Glenn Beck (70:54)

I mean, it does seem like you don't have to worry about, you know, the, the big deep state. All you have to have is like, a black hoodie and a ball cap and they'll never find you. They'll never find you.

Stu Burguiere (71:10)

Well, luckily, we didn't create an entire culture where it's okay to wear surgical masks all over the place, because that hasn't caused any problems at all.

Glenn Beck (71:17)

Right? No problems whatsoever. No problems whatsoever. Jason is joining us, our chief researcher. Jason, do we have anything on the murder of the MIT physicist?

Jason (Chief Researcher) (71:32)

Very, very strange. Not hardly any information at all, except, surprise, surprise, there's no suspects. We're not being told any motives. I mean, it's mirroring. That's what's so eerie. It's mirroring the brown thing. Even though in the brown shooting, we have a whole lot more information. Did you see yesterday, the FBI released like, kind of like a TikTok version of CCTV cameras where they show the alleged shooter walking around and include. And some of them. And a lot of. I will say this, there's speculation going crazy online right now, people talking about who it could be.

Glenn Beck (72:09)

But, yeah, be really careful. Don't get involved.

Jason (Chief Researcher) (72:11)

Not going to. Not going to. Yeah, not. Not going to do it. The, the thing that's kind of infuriating about it, though, is that on that, you know, release from the FBI, they show the alleged shooter walking in front of police cars, first responders. I know there's got to be dash cam footage, but they didn't show any of that. He's just walking right past him. So I suspect that they probably know more. They're just not giving out because that information out, because it's an active, ongoing investigation. But in the meantime, you're going to get that wild speculation.

Glenn Beck (72:46)

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem, you know, you could say he looks like a big fat tub of lard, but so does 80% of men in America. So he's not. You're not narrowing it down, you know? Yeah, I mean, he's just got a big pot belly and just looks like a tub of lard.

Jason (Chief Researcher) (73:01)

I tell you, Glenn, I'm never going to criticize the Superman disguise ever again. Because apparently all you need is just some glasses or a hat.

Glenn Beck (73:10)

We always thought that, like, there's no way Clark. They didn't know that Clark Kent was Supermanny but on glasses. That's it.

Jason (Chief Researcher) (73:18)

Accurate.

Glenn Beck (73:18)

Yep. Apparently that works. Apparently that absolutely fools everybody. Stupid crazy.

Stu Burguiere (73:24)

So.

Glenn Beck (73:26)

We don't. I mean, we don't. Other than the timing, there's nothing that ties these two together. Right. MIT and Brown?

Jason (Chief Researcher) (73:34)

I don't think so.

Glenn Beck (73:34)

Signing in a university. Not that I've seen. So, you know, this is. This is. Be careful on speculation. If you think you know something, call the FBI. Don't. You don't need to post it. Call the FBI. But it. It's, you know, you have to be really careful. You know, some of the things that have come out now that, you know, are all kinds of conspiracies is that they knew that they knew this guy, you know, when he was shooting in Utah. They knew it was a plan and it was a bigger plan and blah, blah, blah. And then they never. Then they never followed up on any of that stuff. No. Here's what they knew at the time. Hey, this might be bigger than just the one shooter. We don't know. We have no idea. So in case it is, what should we look for and what should we do to prepare? Number one, is there. Are there any other hosts that are, you know, Charlie Kirk size that, you know, might be around the area? Within, I think, about an hour of Charlie Kirk, maybe two hours. We got a call the FBI was concerned because I was two hours away and the guy could have easily hopped on the freeway and just gone up into Idaho and, you know, found me. So they alerted. Hey, just be aware. We don't. We don't know. We have no idea. We just want to take extra caution. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And we also think that anybody, you know, Megan and Tucker were on this list as well as me, and, you know, reach out to everybody, let everybody know. Yes. So we took precautions. I had a. I had. I hired police to sit outside of my house for a week till they caught the guy, until we knew that was the only thing that was going on. It doesn't. There's a lot of things. I don't know if you notice this. A lot of people want to shoot people right now for some reason or another. I don't know what it is. There might be one in Rhode island and yes, one right. In the next state of Massachusetts. Might be two different guys. No connection at all. Just until they find these guys. Just be careful. Just be careful. But that doesn't mean it's some grand conspiracy. Not everything is a conspiracy. Or is that what they want us to believe? That's the real question. By the way, we haven't mentioned the stabbing of the Bellevue officer just outside of Seattle. Guy made a bogus 911 call, sent an officer or two. Two officers arrive, they speak with the guy. Did you make the 911 call. Yep. He, he stabbed the officers. It was not, it was not a, I mean, what is happening? What is happening? The acid attack that happened in Savannah, in Forsyth park just recently. I mean, I mean, I don't want to racially profile here, but I know one culture that likes to throw, you know, acid on women's faces. That doesn't mean they're the only ones that do. But I mean, that's kind of a thing over in the Middle East, I guess, you know, if you have somebody who is, is just too sexy, just too sexy. Their, their eyes aren't completely covered. Well, we ought to throw some acid on them to disfigure them. So that'll teach them. That'll teach them. My gosh, the things that are going on. And then I want to ask Stu. Jason, here's headline emails detail how Joe Biden's DOJ bowled over FBI concerns in raid of Donald Trump's Florida home. Apparently the, the DOJ was saying, you can't, you can't raid the Mar A Lago home. You don't, you know, there's not probable cause, yada yada. He let's have a reasonable conversation with him. His lawyers are saying that he can come in, let's try to reach an accommodation. But nope, nope, they just went in guns a blazing and made that whole, you know, scene. Now here's the thing. I started reading the article and it is, there's nothing new to me. I mean, other than the actual facts of the case. Now this is what I suspected, but now they have the facts of the case. And then I stopped reading halfway through because I thought not going to make a difference. Nobody's going to go to jail for this. Nobody's going to. They're going to, they're going to have these findings and then they're going to say we're going to take care of.

Chip Roy (78:11)

We'Re looking deeply into it.

Glenn Beck (78:16)

And nothing will happen. I mean, this has got to stop. What is the point of Pam Bondi's position if we don't start seeing some of these people go to jail? Is it just me?

Stu Burguiere (78:34)

I mean, the frustration is certainly not just you. I mean, I guess in this particular case, what would be the argument for them going to jail? You know, that they just ignored some recommendations when they still had the power to do whatever they wanted. I mean, this is the problem with government power.

Glenn Beck (78:48)

Okay, how about fired? How about fired? Well, I mean, how about being fired?

Stu Burguiere (78:52)

Some of them might be gone already. I would hope the people that made decisions like that in the Trump administration.

Glenn Beck (78:58)

Are along in there. Here's what I'd like to know. Here's all the people that were involved. Here's where they are today. I don't need to know. I just need to know. In government, out of government, you know what I mean? Fired, left, on their own. I don't need to track them or anything else. I want to know what happened to these people so they don't just go back into the system. You know, the same thing with the Hillary Clinton, you know, Russia scandal. We now have memos, Jason, how many shows did we do on Uranium One?

Jason (Chief Researcher) (79:27)

Oh, God.

Glenn Beck (79:28)

During that Clinton time.

Jason (Chief Researcher) (79:29)

Yeah.

Glenn Beck (79:30)

And it was clear, I mean clear the evidence was there of what the Clintons were doing. Nothing's going to happen. They have the memos now on how this, the whole Clinton foundation was nothing but a front. And they know it, they knew it then, they know it now. But is anything going to happen? No. That's the biggest problem our government needs to solve. Go ahead, Jason.

Jason (Chief Researcher) (80:00)

Just speaking from, not a researcher, not someone that works for you, just a regular American, I would like to think that you just can't be the party in power at the time and decide that you want to try and throw your opponent in jail. That just sounds like a crime was committed.

Stu Burguiere (80:21)

It's a really low hurdle to clear.

Glenn Beck (80:23)

Right.

Jason (Chief Researcher) (80:24)

I'm going very basic here. You know, like that, that is when you say, why hasn't someone been arrested? Well, that just, it just sounds very obvious that someone should. But you point out a point to where, you know, a good point to where are there, do we have laws? There may be, there could be. But I mean, I don't know.

Stu Burguiere (80:40)

It just, I am so sick and.

Jason (Chief Researcher) (80:43)

Tired of like you say, Glenn, we all knew this was bogus. We all knew. And little bit, little drips of information would come out like we, you remember the first photo of Mar A Lago that they staged the classified, you know, air quoted classified information out that was apparently from the FBI agents that maybe were on board with doing this. But then clearly from these new emails, there were another part of the FBI that were like, wait a minute guys, we don't agree. It said, it said in those we do not agree on the president for going in on this. We do not agree. So but then the Goj was apparently, no, we're doing it.

Stu Burguiere (81:21)

So yeah, like, you know, again, because I agree with you, the frustration is high. And the fact that they denied this the entire time and we now finally have evidence that this is the truth that they weren't trying to resist getting involved in politics. They were doing the exact opposite. They were doing this because they were rolling over the recommendations of their own people. I mean, the left would say, though, right? They would make the same argument about Trump and Tish James. Right? Like they had prosecutors who didn't want to pursue these cases and they recommended not to. And then he put in a lawyer that would do it. Right. And I don't. The problem at the core of all of this is we used to be able to be above this.

Glenn Beck (82:00)

Right?

Stu Burguiere (82:00)

We used to be able to get above all of this stuff and not just target our political enemies. And we should really have restrictions on the power of these institutions to be able to do these things. But I don't know that we do. That's my concern.

Glenn Beck (82:11)

No, we just need people, when they raise their hand to say they will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. We just need people who actually mean that. The reason why we didn't have this problem is because that the law was bigger than man. It was bigger than any one man. The Constitution was bigger. It was an idea, it was a goal, that we're going to make a more perfect nation by following these things. We don't. How many people. I. I think I could fit them all in a Volkswagen? Uh, how many people do we have serving in. In the FBI and, you know, in. In Washington. In Washington. How many of these people do we have that actually believe that anymore? It feels like, I mean, sure, it might be a. It might be a Volkswagen, you know, Vanagon or whatever, but there's not a lot. It just doesn't feel that way. And that's what we've lost. We didn't have to enforce these things. We didn't have to have the laws to say these things, because people just had honor and integrity and they believed in the Constitution. We don't even teach it now. How could you possibly believe in it? All right. More in a minute. Right around the holidays. We put a lot of care into the meals that we make.

Announcer (84:33)

Here's a friendly tip. Always drink upstream of the herd. If you know, you know.

Glenn Beck (84:42)

Glenn, Becky, You've been watching Pluribus on Apple. Stu, you're watching it, aren't you?

Stu Burguiere (85:18)

Yeah, I'm only two episodes in, though, so. But I do really like it so far. I mean, Vince goes.

Glenn Beck (85:26)

Tanya and I watched another two episodes, last couple of days. I think we're in episode four. It is. You said to me you wondered if it was about AI, Right?

Stu Burguiere (85:38)

I wondered if it was sort of an analogy for AI and the dangers of AI. Did you get that at all?

Glenn Beck (85:44)

What do you think that danger would be? I've been looking and I don't think so, except maybe one warning. What do you think the warning would be? What is the message then?

Stu Burguiere (85:54)

Well, I mean, I'm only two episodes in and I don't want to give any spoilers. Yeah, I know, I know. But there is a feeling that the main character has of all the world sort of losing its individuality and how, you know, she's trying to suck her into this giant thing that she doesn't want to be part of. And I don't know, I feel like the resistance to AI has some similarities to that.

Glenn Beck (86:22)

So I don't. I've been thinking about it. I don't think it is a story about machine thinking as much as it is about people no longer thinking. The group doesn't think, they comply. They do it because it's easier. It's just better. It's faster, it's more efficient. They're not thinking, not about machines thinking. It's more of a commentary on people, I think. Pluribus, Apple, really good.

Announcer (86:47)

Glenn Beck.

Glenn Beck (86:48)

Most of us think about safety in big, broad terms. We think about locks and lights and alarms. But the truth is, when something goes wrong, it's often just you and the moment in front of you. And in that moment, you don't want options that don't you know, you want options that don't escalate the situation but give you control. And that's what a burner launcher does. It's not a firearm. It's a non lethal self defense tool that fires pepper and tear gas projectiles 60ft away. It'll stop a threat long enough for you to get to safety. No permits, no background checks. Legal in all 50 states. Now they have the burner compact which slips right into your bag or glove box. You know, you put it in the small of your back. It's really, really great. Just as powerful as the standard launcher for people who don't ever, ever, ever want to feel helpless but don't want to carry a gun. Real practical middle ground puts time and distance back on your side. That's what you need if you're in a dangerous situation. Learn more about it. Burna.com Glenn learn more.

Woman confronting Jeannie (90:52)

Why they let you wear that shirt here?

Stu Burguiere (90:55)

Yes.

Jeannie from Target (90:57)

Why are you taking my picture?

Woman confronting Jeannie (90:59)

Why are you wearing that shirt? You're working.

Glenn Beck (91:01)

It's not a Target red shirt.

Jeannie from Target (91:03)

I can wear red. Any red shirt.

Woman confronting Jeannie (91:05)

Not a plain shirt.

Jeannie from Target (91:07)

It doesn't have to be.

Woman confronting Jeannie (91:08)

It's a Charlie Kirk shirt.

Jeannie from Target (91:10)

Yes. Oh, yes, I know.

Woman confronting Jeannie (91:11)

Are you stupid?

Jeannie from Target (91:13)

No.

Woman confronting Jeannie (91:13)

Why the would you wear that? You're at work at Target. That's not Target shirt. It's not a plain red shirt. You support a racist?

Jeannie from Target (91:23)

I'm. It's not racist.

Woman confronting Jeannie (91:25)

You support a racist.

Jeannie from Target (91:27)

He's not a racist.

Woman confronting Jeannie (91:28)

Yes, he is. Yes, he is.

Jeannie from Target (91:30)

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to stand here and argue with you.

Glenn Beck (91:33)

You're not.

Woman confronting Jeannie (91:33)

You should go get your manager. You should not be allowed to wear the outfit.

Sam (91:36)

Work.

Woman confronting Jeannie (91:37)

Unacceptable. Unacceptable.

Jeannie from Target (91:40)

That's your opinion.

Woman confronting Jeannie (91:41)

The opinion is he's a racist and you support him.

Jeannie from Target (91:44)

That's your opinion.

Woman confronting Jeannie (91:46)

You should not be allowed to wear that. This is going to be taken above your head. That's insane. Insane.

Glenn Beck (91:57)

Hats off. Hats off to Jeannie for just being so cool about it. I, I, so I, I've gone back and forth whether to say the woman's name or tell you anything about her, but she's, she's already done it on her Facebook page and everything else. I'm not going to give you all of the information. I'll just say, you know, I'm not going to give you her name. If you want to really find it, fine.

Stu Burguiere (92:28)

You're saying the name of the woman who, who was kind of accosting the Target employee.

Glenn Beck (92:33)

Kind of accosting? Yeah. Well, I'm just that one.

Stu Burguiere (92:36)

There's no physical contact, but, yeah, but, yeah, okay, yeah, I don't think the name is important, but I am, I was, I will say, interested in what this was, who she was, why was she doing this? Just. Is she just an annoying liberal, Karen, or is there more to it?

Glenn Beck (92:50)

So, so I can tell you this people are calling for her dismissal at her job. And I don't want people fired. I mean, if I were her boss, I would see this and go, karen, we can't have you working here. Not because I'm getting all kinds of pressure, because that's just not who we are. We're just not that. Here's why. She is working at a non profit health care system and she has patient care roles now. I don't know what kind of patients, but if. What is she going to say to somebody who comes in and is wearing that shirt and she's a nurse, is she going to do that? I mean, nurses have to be filled with compassion. And I'm sorry, but there's no compassion here. The lady was minding her own business, doing her work. Hey, that's not a red shirt. It's not just a red shirt. No, I know. It's Charlie Kirk shirt. Okay, can I see your manager? That's what you do. That's what you do. There's no reason to accost her. There's no reason to film it and say, I'm gonna go over your head, you're gonna be sorry, and then post it. I mean, what kind of activist are you? What? Just. Just. It's just. I hate this. I just hate this. So people have been raising money to send Genie on a well deserved vacation at Gibsongo. And. And she's going to have a nice vacation where I'm trying to get a hold of her. I want to. I want to actually add to that a bit myself because I just thought she handled it so well. I just love her. But let me just. Let me. Let me just. Let me just pause here on this woman. How sad and tragic her life must be. She's posted this video, and then in another video, she's lashing out about her mother wanting to buy a bible for her teenage son. She says he lives in a military house with two lesbians. Now, I don't know who that is because she's also done videos where she says she's married to a Mexican man. So I don't know if it's a woman who identifies as a man but still is a lesbian. I have no idea what's going on. But I mean, now you're. Now you're going online to take on your mother about him, her wanting to give your son a bible. I mean, how sad and pathetic is your life? And I don't mean pathetic as a pejorative to you. Just sad. It's really sad. I would love to raise. Her last name is Ponce. I would love to raise prayers for Madame Ponce because boy, oh boy, is she empty inside if that's all she has to do. So empty inside.

Stu Burguiere (96:05)

I mean, it's so awful. I mean, this poor older woman who's just trying to do her job at Target and you're just harassing her over her shirt and you listen to the conversation and there's a mistake made multiple times by both of them, actually, when she says he's a racist, and she says, no, he's not a racist, actually, it would be was because he was brutally murdered by someone who probably agrees with about 100% of the stuff that liberal Karen said and is probably seemingly allegedly, if you want to put it in legalistic terms, someone who was lockstep with the types of beliefs being presented to this poor woman at Target and he was murdered. This is not just some normal conservative that you're just going to call a racist. Do you have any heart to think that this is a father that was just murdered in front of thousands of people very recently?

Glenn Beck (97:00)

It's just people really connected. I mean, it's, it's, it's, it is insane. It is insane. We've forgotten. And this kind of goes to what we were talking about a minute ago about Pluribus on Apple, and I want to get back to that here in a second. And it also goes to, you know, yesterday, I story, I told the story of the Christmas truce letter I just, I just purchased for the museum. The World War I Christmas truce letter. The letter from a soldier saying, I. It was Christmas Eve. The Germans put up a tree and they were singing carols, and we were singing carols. And so we put up some candles on top of the trench and they did it, too. And one of us said, maybe we should just get up on top. And so for these guys in kilts, they get up on top of and they're not shot, and pretty soon they're like, we should walk over and just greet him. Merry Christmas. And it, it, the war ended for like 24 hours. There was no shooting. There was nothing. They didn't kill each other. In fact, in the end, they had to replace those troops that did this because they refused to shoot the other people because they had made friends. And all that happened was they remembered that they were human. And that's what we're missing. We're missing that we are humans. By the way, this is, this song is going to be put out on Apple Music on Saturday. You'll be able to get it on Apple Music and it's getting quite the response. The comments on it are, are amazing. This is the song I debuted yesterday. This is, you know, a torch history song that we are going to be doing some of these things and we got a lot of them. I've got about 12 of them I'm working on right now. But this is the first one that I wanted to give you a sneak peek on some of the things we're going to be doing at the at the museum and also at the Torch to help people learn history in a new way. Here's the story of the Christmas truce letter and what really happened and what the real meaning of Christmas is all about.

Sam (99:19)

Somewhere on the Lee's river in the frost of 14 a weary German officer riots home of what he seen gets from home in midnight gingerbread and woolen thread but artillery still thunder.

Glenn Beck (99:54)

As he.

Sam (99:55)

Counted up the dead Then just past Christmas morning Through the smoking winter grave A Bavarian raised a pine tree Like a lantern of hope in the haze and across the broken silence.

Stu Burguiere (100:24)

Came a.

Sam (100:25)

Shadow from Scottish men killed it Highlanders hero wishing us Christmas once again.

Glenn Beck (100:39)

Who.

Sam (100:40)

Knows how peace begins maybe one brave voice maybe one small light On Christmas morning Even enemies can remember they human for night Just for night we remember we're human for a night A lone Bavarian rifleman crawled out through the wire Met a scarred with cigarettes.

Stu Burguiere (101:24)

Where the.

Sam (101:25)

Mud met the fire soon the trench is empty Men shook hands in no man's land Candles traded for cigars as they helped each other stand and said war was suspended the peace of Christmas had come Even officers exchanging words.

Announcer (102:04)

About.

Sam (102:05)

Daughters, gifts and home and in the ruins of commons A monastery without a roof they sang silent night together.

Glenn Beck (102:24)

A.

Sam (102:25)

Fragile holy CR who knows how peace begin maybe one brave old voice maybe one small light On Christmas morning Even enemy can remember their human for a night Just for a night we remember we're human for night but at dawn on the 26 the guns began again Window panes rattled he wrote as command reclaimed the men he confessed to his dear Edith Will be hard to shoot.

Stu Burguiere (103:26)

Them now.

Sam (103:30)

The orders are orders in wartime Even when your heart says no not after this, not now who knows how peace begin maybe one brave voice maybe one small light of a very end With a Christmas tree A scout stepping out from history remembers the guns but heaven recalls the sight Soldiers laid their weapons down. And we're human. Foreign just for a Al.

Glenn Beck (104:37)

Welcome to the blend back program that is on the Christmas truth It'll a truce it will be on apple music on Saturday you'll be able to get it. We were human for a night. Trying to remind us of our humanity. That is my goal and will be something. Also trying to get us to go down the right kind of rabbit holes. If you don't know the Christmas true story, just go down the rabbit hole on that story. It is fascinating.

So some of the comments on that wild Glenn this AI Christmas truce video gave me body chills. Finally somebody using AI to remind us that even in war humans can pause for the mad madness for for soccer and carols instead of just making more cat memes. This fabulous. What a great way to learn history. It means different learning styles. Brings humanity into words on a page. Finally AI presented without hallucinations. Take note others this is how it's done. Well done Glenn and team. This is so beautifully done. Watched all of it today. The letters are amazing. What a beautiful way to tell the story. I love this. So beautiful. After 24 years in a public school in North Texas, this is what needs to be shown. Winter Girl said, I love this so much. All schools should have this option for educational tools. It will be available. We've done 12 already. And you know what? The idea came to me. Has anybody ever heard of Johnny Horton? I think it was named Johnny Horton. I remember him because when I was like 13 years old, I worked at a country music station and I was awful and there was this, this guy, Johnny Horton and he did north to Alaska. It was one of the songs and it I think was in the 50s or 60s and it become a big hit in my. If my recollection is right, he was a history teacher and he would teach his class about history and that one was about the gold rush. And then he would put all the pertinent facts so they would learn the story and then he would sing the song to them. And I've always loved that. I've always thought what a great way to learn history. What kid would not want to learn history if your teacher was like that? Well, your teacher can't be like that. But we can be. We can be. And so we're going to be trying all kinds of different ways. And I'll let you know on this. I think I'm going to be auditioning singers, etc, etc to actually produce some of these things live. I just finished something for a big event on Ellis island that is happening this spring and I'm gonna need a female and a male singer for that. And we'll, we'll talk to you about that after January. But we have some really exciting stuff coming up and the torch begins on January 5th. You can go to Glenn beck.com and get all of the information. We'll see you there on January 5th. Tonight on BlazeTV is the very last Glen TV show forever. We're not doing. I'm not doing that kind of show again. Glenn TV. You will see it tonight, 6pm BlazeTV and my YouTube channel. YouTube.

Forgot the combat. I had to race. Let me tell you about relief factor. When pain sticks around long enough, you don't even notice how much of your life you started negotiating with. I mean you've negotiated so much of your life away. You plan your day around what might hurt. You skip things you do without even thinking. We're going to go to the mall the other day and Tanya said, I don't know, tomorrow, let's see how you feel before we be walking around all day in the mall. I hate that. Relief factor will help make that go away. This is not about numbing anything or masking the problem so you can push through it and pay for it later. It's about addressing what's actually going on in your body. The inflammation that is at the root cause of so much of our frequent pain. Doing that makes sense long term. People who take relief factor, they don't talk about miracles. They talk about getting parts of their day back. Walking without thinking about it, sitting through a meeting without shifting every couple of minutes, sleeping through the night without that dull, constant ache reminding them, yeah, yeah, you know why you can't sleep? Because this is happening to you. Relief factor. I want you to go to relieffactor.com relieffactor.com 1995 1-800-Relief 1, 800, the number four relief for your pain, for your sleep. It's relieffactor.com get on board with the torch.

Glenn Beck (111:22)

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 look 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.

Stu Burguiere (114:27)

Does seem that way. I will say, you know, when you. Maybe it's because when you become a parent, you start to recognize that, like, my kids are really good so far. That's awesome. Who knows what they. I always solicit 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 (114:43)

You don't.

Stu Burguiere (114:43)

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? You know, 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 or horrible people or great people, like, there's only so much of that that you.

Glenn Beck (115:24)

Can control, you know, and the 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, isn't 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? What? What? And he said, you 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. 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.

Stu Burguiere (117:00)

That's an interesting way of looking at it.

Glenn Beck (117:03)

I think that's true. That's a great way to look at it.

Stu Burguiere (117:05)

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 (117:13)

Oh, that pisses me off.

Stu Burguiere (117:14)

He doesn't text us.

Glenn Beck (117:15)

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.

Stu Burguiere (117:42)

You know, give us a little bit of the screenplay before the movie comes out. You know what I mean? Like we should.

Glenn Beck (117:47)

Right here. A little. A little trailer that has a little bit of like. Oh, looks like it might have a decent ending.

Stu Burguiere (117:55)

Yeah, that's all we're looking.

Glenn Beck (117:56)

They don't all die in space. That's all I'm looking for for it. That's. That's it. Speaking of space, have you seen the new trailer for Disclosure?

Stu Burguiere (118:06)

No.

Glenn Beck (118:07)

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, I shock absorb. 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?

Chip Roy (118:50)

Why.

Glenn Beck (118:51)

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. Can you?

Stu Burguiere (119:27)

I mean, so what, the theory is that Steven Spielberg is prepping us? Essentially, yeah.

Glenn Beck (119:35)

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. Come on. 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 the 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.

Announcer (120:42)

Yeah.

Glenn Beck (120:42)

And then Donald Trump, who would normally go what? Goes, ah, you know, I kind of am like an alcoholic.

Stu Burguiere (120:53)

It's quite an interesting series of developments over the past 24 hours in that world. And now the alcoholic thing, I, I think in context was not, not all that bad. I think you could see what she was going for. 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, in a 11 day, 11 separate interviews with Vanity Fair. 11 over a year. They gave massive access to the Cabinet.

Glenn Beck (121:25)

Was, was this a book that was supposed to be held until 28?

Stu Burguiere (121:30)

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 has this reporter who famously does pieces in depth pieces on chiefs of staff in the White House, has done this for several other precedents in the past. And so 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. This is not. 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 theory, 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 (122:50)

Neither do I.

Stu Burguiere (122:50)

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. I don't know why. 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 wound up being converted into some big Vanity Fair profile. I don't know. It doesn't really make much sense, but that's the only theory that I can even think of that that makes any sense.

Glenn Beck (123:14)

Does none of it? Otherwise, none of it makes sense. Maybe Steven Spielberg and aliens are involved. I don't know.

Stu Burguiere (123:19)

That could be it. That's the more likely scenario.

Glenn Beck (123:22)

I wouldn't rule it out. I'm just saying. Let me tell you about American Financing. Most people don't realize how much mental space debt takes up until it's gone. You know, it kind of hums in the back of your head while you're working. It shows up when you're trying to relax. It turns, you know, every unexpected expense into a little shot of panic. I. Can. I. Truth is, that's a lot of pressure. Okay? And it's not because you're bad with money. It's because you're stuck in a system that makes it hard to see a way out. High interest payments, multiple payments, no clear strategy other than just hanging on. Hang on, hang on. American Financing exists for people who are ready to change all of that. Not with quick fixes or gimmicks, but with a real plan. One that looks at your whole financial picture and figures out how to get you moving in the right direction again. When you consolidate debt, lower your interest, or restructure what you're paying, you're not just saving money. You're buying a. You're buying back peace of mind. You're creating room to breathe to plan. To stop feeling like your paycheck is already gone before it ever hits your account, please call American Financing at 800-906-2440. That's 800-906-2440. Or go to American Financing.net and MLS.

Glenn Beck (125:24)

I actually saw a Salvation Army Santa. Was not really a Santa. It was just a guy dressed in red with jeans. Anyway, okay. It was wearing a red sweatshirt and he's ringing the bell and I saw some people stopping to give money and I thought, wow, I haven't, I haven't seen that yet. I haven't seen that yet. Nice to see, you know, people are, people are struggling this year and know that we are praying for you. We're thinking about you. If you're not one of those families, would you consider helping the families that are in need? Mercury One is stepping into the gap for families who have lost everything or just cannot afford anything for Christmas. We have, especially where the hurricanes hit last year. We're still trying to help those communities out. They're really struggling. If you can help, just go to mercury1.org mercury1.org also just market Christmas food because it'll be Christmas presents or food and, and not just after the holidays if we can raise enough money. Not just after the. Or not just for the holidays, but after because the soup kitchens and the. Everybody is struggling. They're way, way down on food in a lot of cities. And so we just want to make sure that we get the food to the churches and everybody else that can distribute it to real families in need. Mercury1.org that's mercury1.org as you know, some.

Stu Burguiere (126:53)

Of the going over some of the employment numbers that came out yesterday, you know, it's mixed because I think the headline was maybe worse than the most recent reality, which was this, you know, drop, big, huge drop in October in jobs. A lot of that was just government jobs coming off the books. People who had, you know, had the early retirement type option that they got from Elon Musk coming off the books. So that's a big part of that. But the other side of it is though, we basically have added no jobs since April. And part of that is the government stuff. But when you look at it down by sector, every sector outside basically of healthcare and some construction, we've lost jobs since April in every single sector, including manufacturing being a big one.

Glenn Beck (127:43)

I'm sorry, Christmas elf. Is that you bringing your holiday.

Stu Burguiere (127:47)

You just said everybody was struggling. I was bringing you some stats to support that.

Glenn Beck (127:51)

I think we know we don't need to know how bad it is. And by the way, there's probably no reason to get up tomorrow because, I mean, that's my job. Can you, can you not. I mean, I got that one covered. I land the plane on that darkness every day. I can. I land that plane in the dark.

Stu Burguiere (128:11)

I thought it was to supposed the thing was you said something really depressing and then I brought in some stats. No to support your depressing outcome. I don't know. I'll have to work on it. It's only been 27 years.

Glenn Beck (128:22)

Hey, happy Hanukkah. Merry Christmas. We'll see you tonight. You don't want to miss the last TV show.
