Washington's broken again. Hijacked by big insurance and their Democrat allies rigging the system against American taxpayers. They're holding our government hostage for a $40 billion Obamacare bailout. A payoff that fattens their corporate profits, hikes premiums and punishes hard working Americans with higher costs and less coverage.

And you know, they don't even try to hide it anymore. One insurer gave AARP $9 billion, then.

We've got a lot on our plate today. Scandals, scandals and more scandals. Some updates on some of these things, including an update on James Comey from John Solomon in just a minute. Also, I want to talk to you about why people are turning to socialism. There's some new stats out that are pretty incredible and if you understand those stats, you'll understand why socialism is on the rise. And those are the stats that all of us should be concerned about and the president in particular should be concerned about. Those have to turn around. Otherwise socialism will become the America that we know and used to love. All right, let me tell you first about good ranchers. You know, it's easy to take for granted the meat that you buy is American. You know, we see product of the usa, that little flag label, and we just assume it comes from here. But the truth is over 85% of grass fed beefs sold in America is imported. 85%. Why? Why is it coming from anywhere other than here in America? That's why my family gets our meat from good ranchers. Every box is 100% American, raised on local farms, packed right here and delivered to your door. The quality is outstanding. The flavor is exactly what American meat should taste like.

He is the CEO and editor in chief of Just the News. If you don't check that every day, you are really missing out on a great news site. Justthenews.com John I have made a promise to my audience a long time ago. I do my best not to waste their time. And as I am looking through the things I want to talk to you about, I have to start with this question. Is any of this going to mean anything in the end or is this are we just spinning our wheels and wasting our time talking about how deep this scandal with James Comey is becoming?
- [06:39]
John Solomon
That is a great question and I don't think history has answered it yet. It will really depend on the tenacity and the focus of the Justice Department, the prosecutors and the jurors that are going to catch these cases. Right. Are they willing to rise above politics and say we don't want an FBI that goes after people based on their political color, not the quality of the evidence against them? And that is what began in 2015 on James Comey's watch. A different type of FBI that seemed to go after Donald Trump and his associates, regardless of evidence and protect Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden, even though the evidence against them was pretty strong, as we ultimately found out from the IRS whistleblower. So we don't know yet. Listen, these are going to go to trial if the judge lets them go to trial. The judge in the Comey case seems to be giving the prosecutors a hard time there already. But that's going to be litigated. It's probably going to go up to the appeals court and the Supreme Court. These are going to be long battles. But the question for everyone, is the fight worth it? I think if you don't punish the people that created this mentality, you have definite America for a long time banana republic prosecution arc. And I think that's not what Americans want. They want to be able to say the FBI is above politics. It hasn't been in the last decade, until maybe the last few months that they're Cash Patel.
- [08:00]
Glenn Beck
Okay, so let's talk about what the new evidence is. The, the burn bags, the hidden rooms and the evidence that now has been found that that shows Comey looks like he was lying to Congress when he said, no, I didn't know anything about it. Yeah.
- [08:19]
John Solomon
Yeah. So let's remind what people what the alleged lie is, what he's been accused of and indicted of lying. He, he told Congress in 17 and then reaffirmed unequivocally in 2020 that he never asked any of his staff to anonymously leak or provide information to the news media, the government. Cash Patel found significant documents that go to the contrary. Found these under John Durham, but they chose not to go after James Comey. So in the Bill Barr administration, they knew the same evidence and they didn't go after him. But what is, what is the lie he told Congress? I didn't. I. Two things. One, I never authorized anyone to leak to the media anonymously about the Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump cases. And two, I don't think I knew anything about a intelligence intercept that Hillary Clinton was setting up a fake Russian collusion hoax that we ended up investigating. Well, what we now know first is that his own emails with his own top lieutenant, Daniel Richmond, a former lawyer who he brought in as a special government employee of the FBI. There, he's an FBI employee, show that James Comey told Richmond good job and make them wiser as he was briefing them on how he was anonymously trying to spin the New York Times and provide information to the New York Times about the Hillary Clinton case. So directly on point to the testimony he gave, I didn't authorize him in the leak about Hillary Clinton and her email show his guy was leaking and he was affirming it and say, go ahead, and even encouraging him to make that reporter wiser. In other words, give them more information anonymously. So that's the first second lie.
- [09:59]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [09:59]
John Solomon
And by the way, a grand jury bought that evidence and said, we believe you lied. Now, there's a second piece to it, and that is the. What we call the Clinton plan intelligence was Comey, as John Brennan claimed and as other evidence showed. Did Comey know, Did he pay attention? Did he have some awareness that as FBI was starting to investigate the Russia collusion ruse, the hoax that Hillary Clinton had been intercepted or her people have been intercepted showing that she approved the plan to create this hoax, he said, doesn't ring true to me. I don't think I knew about it. Well, in a, in a locker, in a burn bag, they found some handwritten notes of James Comey that appeared to include the briefing from John Brenning, where he clearly knew that Hillary Clinton had been intercepted approving or her team had been intercepted saying she approved this plan to hang a fake Russian shingle on Donald Trump's campaign house. Now, those are handwritten notes. His notes, yeah.
- [10:54]
Glenn Beck
That is in his handwriting that he clearly understood. And so now you've got him on two really significant lies that show that this whole thing was. It was. They were in collusion with one another. And all of this was bogus and they knew it from the beginning.
- [11:18]
John Solomon
Yeah, that's exactly right. And that's why, you know, when you look at this and then take. Let's take the third back of this. Those notes were never produced in earlier subpoenas to Congress or other investigations. They were found in a room where it appears, according to the government, there was an effort to get rid of or hide this evidence. So it had been hidden from prior subpoenas, according to the government, according to Lindsey Halligan's prosecutor. And then two, it looked like they were in burn bags and almost burned, meaning they would never be there. Now, some other people said, oh, well, there's electronic records of it. It turns out, according to the government, there was no electronic record of the notes, meaning if they had been burned or destroyed or hidden, we would never have had them. Now, why would James Comey want to lie about this? Because as we see in these same emails, it appears he had a motive. His motive, as he wrote his colleague, is I fully expect to be working for President elect Hillary Clinton. He's talking this way. Before the election in 2016, he thought Hillary was going to be his boss. And as he wrote Dan Richmond, he said, I think Hillary Clinton will be quote, unquote, pleased by the way I handled her email case. In other words, he deep sixed it in July, he reopened it and cleared her a second time. And when the smoke cleared, Hillary would like him and keep him on his FBI director. That is the insinuation of those notes. So if he was in that.
- [12:39]
Glenn Beck
I want to give the exact, I want to give the exact phrase, he wrote a President Elect Clinton will be very grateful.
- [12:47]
John Solomon
Yeah, grateful. I'm sorry, you're right, it's very grateful. So he expected that to be the outcome. If that's his mindset in the fall of 2016 and he opens up an investigation on Hillary Clinton, what we now know to be a ruse, bad evidence, an agency had to lie to the FISA court to get the FISA warrants. If his motive was out or his thinking was that he probably is not going to want to admit that. I was warned that maybe this was all a joke before I allowed this investigation to go forward, before I affixed my name to a FISA warrant that the courts have now said was misleading, false and violated the law. So that is the context in which the prosecutors are going to try to bring this, this case. Now, it's going to be in Northern Virginia, where there are a lot of Federal workers and a lot of anti Trump sentiment. Can they get a conviction? We don't know. But is it worth trying to do it? Most people I talk to say yes, because the alternative is you have, by inaction, sanctioned it, which is what Bill Barr and John Durham did by not bringing this prosecution in 2020.
- [13:51]
Glenn Beck
Yep. All right. Can I switch topics? There's something that came out today. James Comey's daughter and the Epstein case. Apparently James Comey's daughter sent a message to Epstein that if you don't even have to prove it, but if you can show us anything that ties Donald Trump to this, it's going to go a lot easier for you. Can you give me this story?
- [14:21]
John Solomon
Yeah, I've seen it. I've not been able to corroborate that. So I'm always in this world of media today, I try to be super careful because it's hard to know if things are true or true to dig in. I haven't found anyone yet who seems to know the proof on that. It's possible. Who knows? I mean, prosecutors make these sort of deals all the time. And as we know, it seems in the last decade or two, I think when you got to go back to the era of the Ted Stevens prosecution, the IRS pursuit of conservative groups, and maybe the prosecution, which turned out to be malicious and Wrong, of Virginia Governor McDonnell, there's a culture that began at the beginning or around the time of the Obama era where winning for prosecutors is more important than winning fairly or on the strength of the evidence. And that's why these cases ultimately got overturned. That mentality exists in the Justice Department. And then when you add the nature of politics, the Trump derangement syndrome that seems to come in in 2015, you have a very dangerous prosecutorial and law enforcement system that's easily weaponized and can easily cheat. And unless you got multimillion dollar lawyers, you're probably going to get hosed because very few people are going to find the grounds to overturn this. And that is the crushing power of the state that Jim Jordan talks about, Chuck Grassley talks about that Donald Trump wants to reform. And I don't know in this case whether Mrs. Comey did, Ms. Comey did this or not yet, because I can't find anyone that can confirm yet. But if I do, I'll come back to you. But the scenario that's described does go on, and we've seen it, and it's very, very troubling. There's a case coming up soon in New York where the SEC has to admit that there were journalists writing fake stories that then were used to justify investigations of companies, some of them conservative. This system of cheating to get a consequence regardless of whether it's warranted, is something we all got to take a deep breath and start to really fix. We got to fix it or we're not going to be any different than Venezuela and Iran.
- [16:23]
Glenn Beck
I will tell you that I'm so glad to say that you said I can't confirm this. I haven't found a source to confirm it because when I read that story, it looks as though one of the people that is telling this story is the guy who is in jail with Epstein, who would also have motive for making something like this up. So I don't want to exonerate her and I don't want to condemn her. I just want the truth. And he doesn't seem like a reliable source.
- [16:53]
John Solomon
Yeah, I think we gotta go get the evidence and try to see if it's true. Listen, it's a, it's a lead. It's a, it's something that someone has said. Let's check it out and true. Find out if it's true. We learned that Russia collusion wasn't true. I think we're going to learn that most of Ukraine impeachment wasn't true. And I think today we just got to dig in first, get the facts. But we will, we will do that, I promise. I'll get back to you as soon as I know what I can find out from the government.

Jace.com promo code Beck. 10 seconds. Coming up in about 40 minutes, we have an update on the story that we were telling you about yesterday. It's, I think, one of the biggest stories of my lifetime. Should it be true? And we'll get an update on that coming up in just a little while. You don't want to miss it. I don't know if you saw the Visualizing the american dream, Stu, you know, what the american dream actually is, Is that you can forge your own way. You can, you know, you can have a scrap of land and grow your own food if you want. You can, you know, go to school, not go to school. You can find a job. And if you're qualified for it, you have, you know, an equal chance of getting it, you know, based on merit. But the percentage of americans who say their dream, the american dream is retirement is 86%. Health care, 86%. Owning a home, 85. Raising two kids, 78. Owning a car, 72. Vacations, 71. Pets, 66. A wedding, 55%. That's the American dream. I can get married. The american dream, if that's what you think. They've now estimated the cost per household over the cost over the lifetime. Retirement is $1.6 million. Owning a home now, 30 year mortgage, 20%. Down payment is $957,594. Owning a car, buying and financing two new cars every 10 years is now $900,000 over your lifetime. Raising two kids to 18, plus four years of public college, $876,092. Two kids, healthcare over your lifetime, spending from ages 22 to 85, $414,000. Vacations annual vacation from 22 to 85, $180,000. One dog and one cat for 11 to 13 years is $40,000. That's more expensive than a wedding. The engagement ring, the ceremony and the reception is now estimated to be $38,200. There's a reason socialism is doing well. You look at that and you're like, wow. I mean, if that's the American dream and for a lot of people that is the American dream, that's not what the American dream is supposed to be. But you know, once, you know, once Woodrow Wilson and FDR got ahold of us and they started advertising, it became stuff instead of freedom. It became stuff. And you know, when there's a new report out. Let me see if I have that. There's a new report out now that shows first time home buyers made up just 21% of the home purchases. That's the lowest on record. The typical age of repeat buyers hit an all time high of 62. The median down payments reaching 23%, the highest since 2003. And also where is it, the last one is the median age for first time home buyers? In 1981 it was 29 years old. I'm sorry, yeah, 29 years old. In 2021 it was 33 years old. What is it this year? Median age, first time homeowner? 40. You're 40 before you can buy any kind of home. That puts these things that people want dream about out of reach until you're 40. You know, 29 is one thing, but if you're not seeing, you're not seeing, you know, your life really kind of settling down until you're 40. I can understand why you're like, you know what, this system doesn't work because you've never seen it work. It's betrayed you, or so you've been sold. It's betrayed you and everything is being pushed out of your reach. And when you're young, the one thing you are not is patient. And at 40, I can see why people are not, you know. Yeah, well, socialism. Neat. Because capitalism isn't working. How would you respond to that?
- [24:11]
Stu
I mean, it's more lengthy than we have time for. But I would say that the response to, you know, you thinking that you want a home is not to embrace an ideology that murders 100 million people. That's not a, that's not a good answer to the problem that you think you have.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the program. We're glad you're here. It's Thursday. You know, we've been talking about, you know, socialism, and Donald Trump is getting pilloried in the press for calling Mamdani a communist. And I find this. This ritual here that we're going, you know, through is just you say the word socialist. And, you know, 25 years ago when I said that these people were socialist, everybody said, my gosh, you can't call them socialist. That's all right. I said, the mask is gonna come off. They can't wait to tell you that they're socialist. Now Donald Trump said, you know, Mamdani is a communist. And everybody is like, my gosh, look at this hysteric from the Cold War. He's just. He's a Cold War radio drama. So let me just clear this here. Um, because the difference between the two terms, you know, is. Is really not some great firewall of virtue here, as if one leads to, like, Scandinavian candles And the other one leads to gulags. That's, that's not what's happening. What we've forgotten here is, is what always is forgotten. And that is how Karl Marx actually talked and saw the two. He didn't draw, you know, polite little distinctions. He describes socialism as the transition, the necessary scaffolding that leads to communism. That's Karl Marx. So socialism for Karl Marx was the road, not the destination. Communism is the end of that road. He wrote a, he wrote an essay, the Critique of Gotha program. And Mark said, under socialism, from each according to his ability, to each according to his contribution under communism, to each according to his needs. The only difference here is timing. It's not philosophy, it's not goals. It's just how far along the revolution you are. Okay? Socialism is the bridge to communism according to Karl Marx. Don't take it from me. Communism is the completion of socialism. It's, it's the antithesis of a free market system. Even Lenin called socialism the first and necessary phase of communism. So it's not partisan rhetoric. Okay, this is the literal architecture of Marxist thought. But can we get out of the theories of all of this? History gives us warnings much more vivid than any theory. You know, we like to imagine that the worst horrors of the 20th century came from one beast alone. And they, we think that's Hitler. But actually a bigger beast was Stalin. But if you want to look at Germany from 1930 to 1945, you see something really uncomfortable. A socialist movement that curdled into something monstrous while it never called itself communist. In fact, the Nazi government, the National Socialists, the Nazis were not communists, they were against the communists. They killed communists. But they shared the same foundational belief that the individual is disposable and that the state defines the truth. They both believe that rights are not given by God, but administered by political power. And that dissent on any of this has to be crushed for the good of the collective. That is that, that's the definition we should care about. Socialism doesn't have to go full marks communism to become catastrophic. It just has to replace the individual conscience with the will of the state. And don't you see that's what's happening here. They'll crush you. They'll destroy you. You disagree with them, they'll destroy you, even if you've been on their side. I'm going to share a story with you of something from 1979 that happened that I don't think most people understand. And in New York, you better understand this. When a society accepts the premise, that premise, history shows the slide can accelerate. From a utopian promise to industrialized crop cruelty. Horror show like that. Germany saw it, Russia saw it, China saw it, Cambodia saw it, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba. I mean, it's all right there, just different flags, different slogans, but it's the same structural error. So can we stop with this mocking of the language? You know, people laughing, he said Mamdani is a communist when he's just merely a socialist. You're missing the point entirely. The issue is not whether the label is technically perfect. The issue is the philosophical DNA is exactly the same. Collectivism over the individual state, control over personal agency, central planning over free will. And that the belief that human nature can be engineered by political force, that's where it always goes wrong. It doesn't understand human nature. So you can argue all you want about where socialism ends and where communism begins, but honestly that's like, hey kids, memorize the date of this war. Why? Why? I'm never going to use that fact again. What difference does it make? The thing we should care about is why was that war fought? What happened at the end of that war? When communism and socialism, we should be saying where does that road lead? I can tell you that the road always begins with the state controlling your choices, okay? It'll control your choice of energy, money, your children's education, your speech, your job, what you drive. And it always ends with never greater liberty. It always ends the same place. In a society that has forgotten that freedom is fragile, that power concentrates, that people are the same over and over and over again. Human beings, they go bad, especially when you give them power. When they're told they're part of a grand collective. Humans are willing to commit horrors they would never do as an individual. That's the biggest thing you get these horror shows of a hundred million dead because it's a collective. We're all doing it. I'm not doing it. Everybody's doing it. That's the warning that's historical and we ignore it at our own peril. Now the problem here is that socialism is on the rise and communism will be next. Remember when I started first started talking about Obama, they. I was, I was raked across the roll of the row of the Kohl's every day for even suggesting he might kind of like socialism. Now socialism is fine. So that road is still going. We're going to continue rolling down that road and any country that goes into socialism. We're not talking about a capitalist, we're not talking about Sweden anymore. In Fact, we are actually talking about Sweden. Look at. Look at the road they're going down now. I mean, they're. They're going into their own kind of authoritarian rule with Sharia law that is coming to Sweden. We're not talking about this friendly socialism. We're talking about the complete abandonment of the free market entirely. We've been this stupid little hybrid that doesn't work. It only causes misery. We've been this hybrid and it doesn't work in a country this large and a country this diverse. But look, if you're, you know, if you grew up after 9, 11, where have you seen capitalism work for you? Okay, you've seen. I know. I've seen it. I've seen the rich get richer. And I don't mean the rich. I mean. I mean the really, really, really, really rich. The ones that the Democrats never actually talk about. They say they hate the rich. The rich have to pay their fair share, but they're hanging out with George Soros, they're hanging out with the Ford foundation, they're hanging out with Bezos and all of these other people because that's, that's. That is real control. Okay? They don't hate those guys. They never do anything to affect their taxes. They don't pay taxes because they have the money to put it into trusts and everything else. You don't have that. So when I say I've seen it happen, I've seen the rich get richer. You know who the rich are? Citibank. These banks that have been taking our money through bailouts. When do we get that money back? When do you get that money back? You don't. You don't. That's why this is working. That's why you can say socialism is neat. Because nobody knows the killing machine that socialism actually is. Nobody has any idea. Look at the killing machine. Look at the killing machine that's being built in socialist Canada right now. What is it? Made is the third or fourth biggest killer. It kills one in every 20 Canadians. Why is that happening? That's not out of compassion. That's because they're running out of money for health care. That's what that's about. Get them off the dole. Stop it now. If they're earning a lot of money, get them in, because we can still get their money. But let's make sure they're making money. If, if they're getting old, if they are cripple, if they fought in a war and just can't handle it themselves, if they're super, super young, if They've got an expensive cancer. Let them die. Help them die. That, that's because they're looking at the collective, not the individual. And that's, that's the beginning of the dark killing machine in a socialist country. And Canada is, you know, I mean, it has socialized medicine. The problem is it's all failing. Socialism always fails. Capitalism has, has taken people out of poverty, solved problems, healed people, given people heat and houses and cars and airplanes. All of that is because of the free market. All of that is the free market. You get rid of the free market, you put it in the hands of governments and you have monsters. Monsters. And we know it because we've seen it over and over and over again. But our. If you were, if you, if you don't remember or barely remember. 9, 11, you've never been taught any of this. You've never been taught what it actually means. So you're seeing this play out over and over again. Look at that guy. I mean, look at. He's not going to have to pay a price. He's just going to get away with it. And he's taking our tax dollars. Okay? I hate all of that. This capitalist system, it's corrupt. You're seeing that play out in real time. You're not seeing anybody actually go to jail for these things. Of course you think that it does. I don't think it works the way it is right now. But then you're, you're given this false utopian promise without any information. Read the warning label on socialism. Where has it ever worked? Show me where it has worked. And don't say Sweden. Sweden. Sweden is falling apart right now. You know why? Because Sweden, everybody was blond hair, blue eyed. They all, they were all related to each other. It was a small little country. You can do it. When everybody is the same and it's small, It'll work in to some degree. But the minute you start going diverse, the whole thing falls apart. So you want to be Sweden? Go ahead, look at Sweden today. I don't want to be Sweden. Read the warning label. That's our job to show that warning label. It's our job to teach what's not being taught. This is a death culture. Stay away from it. Warning. Warning. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor. Our sponsor is Leaffilter. You know, most home repairs come with a warning sign. A strange noise, a small leak, a light that flickers. But clogged gutters now they just, they just. It's just too late. You know, once, once the debris and the Leaves have clogged all your gutters. Then you have a storm and you got water pouring over your roof line. It goes in under the roof. It damages your siding and your foundation, even sometimes the basement leaffilter is there.

Stu
Yes, that's me today on this topic because I just, I can't take the. Oh gosh, these young people, they can't.
- [41:56]
Glenn Beck
Afford the things they want. We should instead entertain their socialist pleas.
- [42:03]
Stu
And act like they're rational because they don't think they can afford a house fast enough. Okay, I'm so sorry to hear that. I get it. I understand you don't want to just dismiss people and their complaints. But by the way, the data doesn't really back up any of this.
- [42:21]
Glenn Beck
I don't know if anyone ever bothers.
- [42:22]
Stu
To look at the economic data. We're just going on vibes these days. But Gen Z and millennials and below have a higher, higher generational wealth than their previous generations. It is higher. Yes, it's adjusted for inflation, in case you were about to say that it is higher. They are above where boomers were. They are above where Gen Xers were at this time. A lot of this is overblown. And it's funny because you started all this with like, what's the American dream? People want to buy a house. It shouldn't be about that. It should be about freedom.
- [42:57]
Glenn Beck
And then the way we judge whether.
- [42:58]
Stu
The American dream is happening is whether they can afford a house. Like, you know, the idea of whether you own or rent is not a determinant factor as to whether your happiness is there. I was very happy when I rented, very happy when I owned. Having ownership of a house is not a good breakdown. As to whether your pursuit of happiness.
- [43:18]
Glenn Beck
Is in effect, I would have to say I don't know if I've ever seen you happy. So as he comes off his back porch to stop yelling at the clouds, I just have to say I think that's wholly inaccurate.

Ground when times get down Face the dog and embrace the fire the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. Yesterday I told you about the January 6th pipe bomber. Steve Baker, who is a journalist for an investigative journalist for the Blaze, has written a story naming the pipe bomber and it is now gone up the chain of command. It was supposed to be released today. I don't know if we're still hopefully maybe some point later today, but I want to find out why it is stalled. Yesterday things in Washington and especially in the intel community went nuts because of what we talked about on the air. And there is a, there's a big battle and I want to talk to Steve about that. Coming up in just a second. First thankfully, bombs and rockets have gone quiet for right now. But countless families in Israel, the struggle is far from over. Homes have been damaged or destroyed. Communities have been displaced. Thousands of people, including the children and the elderly are still trying to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of war. And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is right there helping, helping families find safety and food and hope. They're providing emergency aid and hot meals and winter supplies and critical support to those who are still recovering. They're also standing by Israel's first responders and protecting the most vulnerable. This is the moment when your support matters most. Not just in times of attack, but in times of rebuilding. In times when I can't imagine what it feels like to be a Jewish person today. I can't imagine. Stand, stand. Show them that we are not the Christians of old. Your gift of only $45 will help support the life saving work by providing food and shelter and much more. Remember, God says I will bless those who bless you. Supporting IFCJ, I think is a spiritual stand. It's showing up for God's people when it counts and it counts right now. 888488 IFCJ. 888488 IFCJ. Do it now. Steve, welcome back to the program. You're in Washington today. So you have a very clear view on what is happening, what happened since we talked last night or yesterday at this time.
- [48:09]
Steve Baker
Actually, you and I spun up a lot of people yesterday, a lot of good people that are working on this that have the country's best interests at heart. There's some not so good people that got spun up yesterday as well. But the good people that have the country's interests at heart and have the President's mind and agenda at the forefront of what they're looking to do are continuing to work on this. So we've hit the pause button right now.
- [48:42]
Glenn Beck
Have they asked us to hit the pause button?
- [48:48]
Steve Baker
Obviously they can't tell us what to do.
- [48:50]
Glenn Beck
Okay.
- [48:51]
Steve Baker
They can't tell us. They can't, you know, but it has been explained very clearly that we need time basically to be sure that we have all the covering fire that we need, that they can connect the final dots. You know, as I mentioned to you yesterday, when you ask me what's the percentage of likelihood that we have the right person and you know, I explained that with the technology we used, it got us initially started at 94% and then we were up to around, you know, 96 to 98% after the human analysis of all of this. But we would like to get it to 100%. And part of that is going to be incumbent upon keeping the right people that we need on our team on our side. And that means sometimes working at their pace.
- [49:42]
Glenn Beck
This is when people hear the story, they're going to realize how deep the deep state goes and so much is going to start making sense. And if your story is accurate, there's only one winner. There's only one winner. It's either the deep state or, you know, the, you know, the good guys that are coming in and saying, no, no more of this. Because it is from, just from what I have seen and I haven't even read the full story. I've just gotten a brief on it. From what I've seen. It's, it's everywhere. And so I'm gathering what you're saying is they need time to shore up, to make sure they have the right people in place in several different areas. Because when this hits, this is really not good. It's really bad.
- [50:40]
Steve Baker
Well, it's a game changer on every level. That's what we're looking at here. This is not only going to be the biggest story of my career when it comes out, but I mean, this is, as you properly identified for the most part yesterday, this is at least the largest scandal in a generation. If not going further back. And it does go deep and it goes high. And that's what we have to get right. Because as I said, we spun up a lot of people and a lot of people are talking right now about what you and I discussed yesterday.
- [51:15]
Glenn Beck
Have to be. I have to believe just hearing what, what you said yesterday and what we talked about on this program yesterday, I gotta believe if you, if the story is accurate and you are, you were part of it, you have to be freaking out right now because once you name names, you know, there's only, only two ways to go. Only two ways to go. One side will be destroyed and the other side will remain standing. Can you give me the history of this investigation at all, Give me some sort of understanding of how you got to where you are?
- [51:55]
Steve Baker
Yeah, it's very interesting in that up until two weeks ago, this pipe bomb thing was going nowhere. Even the FBI had apparently, I won't say they had given up on it, but two weeks ago, they re upped the $500,000 reward. They sent out the tip lines begging the American public to give them some tips and some leads on this particular thing. That was pretty much an indication and a signal that they were dead in their tracks. And Then two weeks ago, when I presented it to the people that I presented it to, it was game on again. And then things started moving very quickly. I thought we would be at the place where we could knock this thing out of the park today. But the history on this is very simple. I. Within the first days after January 6, I was informed by members of our actual special operations community and the military that there were more elements that needed to be looked at and more things that were happening on the ground at the Capitol than anybody had yet been aware of and had seen. And so over the next few weeks, and we're talking about 2021 here, I began to pull some of those threads that we talked about yesterday. And as I began to pull those threads, I became very interested in certain actors. I then began to see the coordination between actors, not only in the crowd, but actors in the police department, particularly the Capitol Police. That was one of the reasons why that my investigations. It was my investigations into the Capitol Police that brought me to the. Brought my work to the attention of the Blaze. And that was when we revealed, as you recall, the trial perjuries of a couple of federal officers. And in fact, they were Capitol Police officers. A special agent on the dignitary protection detail, and then, of course, the most famous Capitol Police officer, Harry Dunn. And neither one of them are with the department any longer. But that was a really good lesson for us because the first thing that we did is we proved irrefutably that they had perjured themselves in a federal trial and nothing happened.
- [54:18]
Glenn Beck
It was quite a locked up case, too. I mean, you did the TikTok with the video. He says he's here. Here he is here. He says he's here, and here he is there. I mean, it was dead to rights. Dead to rights. Anything happen with that?
- [54:35]
Steve Baker
Of course not. I mean, the Capitol Police did an internal investigation and of course that was not going to go anywhere because of exactly. What we're talking about here is that if the Deep State gets control of this, then it's over. And so we have to be working with the good people, patient enough to allow them to help us finish this off and get those final 2 percentage points in there to make sure that this is exactly what we believe it is.
- [55:05]
Glenn Beck
Has the president been briefed on this? That.
- [55:06]
Steve Baker
You know, I do not know that that's happened yet. I certainly would love to see that take place.
- [55:17]
Glenn Beck
Well, if you hit more obstacles, I'd like to read the whole story, but. But if you hit more obstacles, I will do everything I can to get you into the Oval to see the President because this story, at some point he has to know what's going on because this is. Is it fair to say it's also in the White House or has access to the President?
- [55:47]
Steve Baker
It is fair to say that this story has a, an angle that takes it to the President. That's probably as much as I can say about that right now without compromising sources. But I will tell you this, Glenn, is that it would be really great for the president to direct a particular department or agency to take this on.
- [56:14]
Glenn Beck
Well, you.
- [56:14]
Steve Baker
And let us guide you.
- [56:17]
Glenn Beck
You let me know if you need that. I don't know if I can get you that meeting, but I can certainly try. Thank you very much, Steve. I appreciate it.
- [56:26]
Steve Baker
Thank you.
- [56:27]
Glenn Beck
Keep us up speed. You bet. All right, let me take a quick break. Let me tell you about Relief factor. Pain doesn't have to be dramatic to be disruptive. Sometimes, you know, it's just that constant low hum in the background. The shoulder that just doesn't turn the same, the back that doesn't bend, the knee that makes you think twice before standing up. And you start to wonder, is this normal now? When did normal start to hurt all the time. Relief Factor was created to change that. It's a daily supplement developed by doctors to help your body fight the inflammation that causes pain naturally without depending on masking it with temporary fixes. Thousands of people have found that Relief factor helps them get back to doing the things that they love without feeling like they're paying for it later. Because life doesn't wait for your body to catch up and you shouldn't have to sit on the sidelines while it hurts. If you want your days back, start giving your body a chance to heal. Heal itself naturally. Relief Factor Live your life in motion the way you want to, not in pain all the time. Give their three week quick start a try. It's 1995. Visit relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief 800, the number four relief 10 seconds station ID if you look at the number of things that are catastrophic, it's a little overwhelming what Steve is talking about. Should this story be true? From what I have seen, it's a very strong case. But I haven't seen the whole case. If it, if it is true will change everything and it's. It's catastrophic in its impact. If it's true and it doesn't, it isn't corrected. Catastrophic. You look at what happened with Mamdani and you tie that not just to Socialism. But where did that money come from? Where did it come from? Well, Linda Sarsour, do we happen to have that from last night's TV show, the Linda Sarsour audio. She was extraordinarily clear that that money came from outside sources and Muslim sources from leaders all over the world. Sorry, all over the nation. And I believe she said all over the world. It came. A lot of it came from care, as in the Council of American Islamic Relations. They're an unindicted co conspirator in a terrorism finance case back in 2007. I don't know if you know this, but Jeremy Corbyn, he's a former UK Labour Party Member of Parliament. He was expelled out of Parliament because of his anti Semitism stuff. He tweeted over this last weekend. I'm hosting a phone bank with the New York City Democratic Socialists of America to get out the vote for Mamdani. I mean, this was a global reach. Marxist and Islamists. Do we have the audio, Sarah? Here's Listen. Listen to Linda Sarsour about care.
- [59:43]
Cheyenne
Right now I'm a little more quiet because I'm on the quiet side of this race. But I'm going to tell you that once November 4th comes around, I will.
- [59:51]
Glenn Beck
Tell you the story. The story is not just, you know, that it's random that Iran ascended to this place.
- [59:58]
Cheyenne
It is our Muslim American communities. And I will also say that it's Muslim money.
- [60:03]
Glenn Beck
The PACs that have supported Iran or.
- [60:05]
Cheyenne
A particular pact that has supported Iran is probably over 80% of Muslim American donors in this country. High net donors, grassroots donors. And I want to make the point.
- [60:16]
Glenn Beck
That the Unity and Just Justice Fund.
- [60:17]
Cheyenne
Pac, which is the CARE super pac, was the largest institutional door, a largest institutional donor to the pros of Ron.
- [60:25]
Glenn Beck
PAC in New York. So I was mistaken to say that she said that it was overseas. It's all American money. But if it's CARE as the largest donor, that is a problem. And when you mix these two things together, what people don't understand. Let me take you back to 1979. I remember 1979. I was a kid and I didn't know anything about Iran. I didn't know about the Shah or anything else. The Shah had been put into power back, I think in the 50s by our CIA. And he was a strong man because, you know, at the time everybody thought, well, if you're going to control all of those tribes in that area, you got to have a strongman that can cobble it all together. So he's a Strong man, you know, not a good guy. And then the Islamic thing starts. And the Islamic revolution happens in 1979 and it starts in the streets and it is colluding with Marxists. And the Marxists and the Islamists collude together to bring the Ayatollah Khomeini into Iran to take over. The Islamists were perfectly fine with the Marxists and the Marxists were perfectly fine with the Islamists. But each of them had a plan. Once we get control, then we'll get those guys out. Well, it took two years before the love affair was finally finished because the Islamists saw the leftists as useful idiots and the slaughter commenced. Hundreds of left wing activists were died, were killed in the streets during protests, okay? The rest of them were rounded up and thrown into prison. Within just a few months, three to five thousand leftists were put to death inside of the prison. So those who were working with the Islamists, once the Islamists got their state, they rounded up those Marxists and they put them in prisons where 3 to 5,000 of them were killed. By 1988, 30,000 Marxists were, are now believed to have been killed. Execution, torture and in the streets. This is the way it always happens. That's the way it always happens. And they are cobbling together coalitions that all believe that they're going to win in the end. And I got to tell you, if, if I were sheer, just simply a betting man and I had nothing to lose personally except money, my family, my children had nothing to lose, I would put my money on the Islamist every step of the way. Because they actually believe it. They believe it because their God tells them this is what you have to do. Don't bet against people who, I mean this is why Marxists try to stamp God out. This is why they are trying to stamp Christianity out all over the West. Because if you have people who believe that they are trying to be on God's side, or worse, they're people who say God is on our side, then you have an army that won't quit. The people who are playing footsies with these Islamists know that Zoron, when it comes to it, he will pick Islam first. And she said yesterday, gave you the quote where she was saying in the press that we are going to hold him accountable. You are either a Marxist or you are Islamist, but you are not both. And we're going to hold him accountable. That's, you know, I don't know, I don't know. That should be a wake up call. Unfortunately I don't think that it is a wake up call because we are meant to be divided. The, the press is doing a very good job TikTok and everything else. And the left spends a lot of money to make sure that we are divided on everything. Do you know, I think it was 64% that voted said just. Donald Trump played a big role in who they voted for and that was for Mamdani. I mean, why it's a local election. How does Donald Trump play into your everyday life in New York?
- [65:05]
Clay Travis
How.
- [65:09]
Glenn Beck
It is a game to get you to look somewhere else so you're not, you become against something instead of for something. Now there's enough people that are for socialism and there's enough people that are, that are thinking that sharia law is neat as well, but we'll save this place only if we all wake up and go, you know what? I got to be for something. And it's not that. It's not that. That's a culture of death. I'm not for any of that. I choose life. I choose freedom. I choose, you know, the individual over the collective. When that stuff begins to take hold, and it will, if we're all on the same page and we stop dividing ourselves and we just start talking about true principles and true history, we'll make it. But boy, oh boy, man, it is coming down to the the wire. I mean, look at how colossal each of these problems are becoming. They're big. They're big and there's a lot of them. But we're up to the task. All right. More in a minute. This is Glenn Beck. Winter is coming. Winter is coming and it's coming on fast. And this year, my Patriot supply is turning Black Friday into something that actually matters. Because when the world gets chaotic, the best gift you can give your family is peace of mind, security, knowing that things are going to be okay. Right now, their Black Friday survival special includes a four week emergency food supply. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks that last up to 25 years, plus $150 worth of free gear. This is really important because everybody forgets about stuff like this. Do you have a way to cook any of the food? Your power goes out, your gas goes out. Do you have, you have a portable cookstove? Do you have fuel for that? Fire starters, really important. You know, they're seeing this in Jamaica. They don't have anything. They have no clean water. Do you have a water purifier that is small enough to pack with you and big enough to handle the family? It's not panic Buying it's smart planning and it's what responsible people do before a storm hits because when the lights go out, you don't rise to the occasion. You fall to the level of your preparation. Make sure yours is high. You get it right now through Black Friday. My Patriotsupply.com Glenn check out everything that is included. Do it now.

We want to welcome to the program our fellow premier Radio network star Clay Travis from the Clay and Buck show that it's immediately following this show on, on many of the stations nationwide. Clay, welcome. How are you?
- [68:22]
Clay Travis
I'm great. Appreciate you having me. Good to be seeing you on the road quite a lot over the past several years and congrats on all the success you've been having and all the impact and I appreciate you having me on.
- [68:35]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, thank you. Same with you. It's good to see you at the hall of Fame. You just, you put a book out, balls How Trump Young Men and Sports Saved America. I just love that. First of all, go over the premise here.
- [68:53]
Clay Travis
So I've got three young boys, 17, 15 and 11. And there were a couple of things that happened, Glenn, that, that really got me thinking as I started to see the world through their eyes. During COVID my middle son, we walked into a target and this is in the book. And he said, dad, they would never have those for us. We were going to buy baseball cards. He loves to collect baseball cards. The two youngest did. And he pointed at the front of the target and it was just a huge collection of girl power shirts. And he said they would never make boy power shirts, dad. And I just thought, wow, that's, you know, for a nine year old, that's really kind of super interesting to think about the world through which he's seeing it. And then another thing happened soon thereafter, one of the, one of their friends was over and he said, you know, Mr. Clay, today we were in school and we were being taught that, you know, white men caused all the problems in the world and we're the reason why everybody's unhappy. And, and he said, and you know, the teacher told us that white men had so much power. And he said, Mr. Clay, what power do I have? My white, my mom doesn't even let me pick what I get to eat for dinner. And, and you know, sometimes in those anecdotes where you start to see the world through someone else's eyes when you're a parent, when you see it, kids ask such interesting questions. And having three boys, it's one thing to grow up in a world like you and I did, Glenn, which is, hey, men and women should be able to aspire to the same things. Be a doctor, be a lawyer, be the highest, most successful version of yourself possible. That's something that I think most people have bought onto or bought into. And it's right and it's correct. But the idea of we have to tear down men to elevate women is the world that these young men are growing up in. And I think instinctually, Donald Trump also felt that. And I think the people surrounding him did. And they said, you know what, there's a play here for young men who are disaffected, who feel like masculinity is being attacked and, and a lot of people told them they were crazy. And also with sports fans seeing the Leah Thomas the book opens with Leah Thomas, this 6 foot 3, 220 pound man wearing a women's bathing suit winning an NCAA championship in Atlanta in the spring of 2022. Sports fans and young men, they were angry. They saw the world as not making sense. They felt like they were being lied to and they saw Trump as a beacon to oppose the absurdity. And I give immense credit because I think that's where this election was won. I think that Trump team targeted young men and sports fans and in so doing, they won back America in 2024.
- [71:48]
Glenn Beck
So he did do that. And you don't have that cultural thing happening. You know, it'll come back rapidly should we lose. But you don't have that cultural thing right now. And you have in New York, Mamdani, his election, 84% of young women, 84% of them voted for the socialist. And that's not happening with men.
- [72:16]
Clay Travis
No, it's certainly not. I think there are two challenges here. One, we have to continue to get young men to come out and vote. They show up for Trump. They didn't show up in Virginia, they didn't show up in New Jersey. In fact, a lot of Trump voters didn't. 600,000 fewer Republicans showed up in Virginia and in New Jersey. To kind of put this in context, Glenn, more people voted for Trump in Virginia and New Jersey than voted for the Democrat gubernatorial winners on Tuesday. So more Republicans showed up to vote Trump than should, than Democrats showed up to elect the governors. Second part of this, young men are becoming more conservative. I don't think there's any doubt in 2024 young men were actually more conservative than men over the age of 65. Women, to your point, though, are becoming even more left wing. How does that get reconciled? We've never seen a age gap like 18 to 30 year old men compared to 18 to 30 year old women. My hope is that we have to start to talk to young women and make them realize that the entire world does not revolve around abortion, which Democrats have been very effective at doing. And you know what's interesting, Glenn? I'm a history guy and I know you are too. Historically, Pre Roe v. Wade, women actually voted more conservatively than men did. They tend to be more religious. They were more focused on house and home in the early 1900s. All the way up to the 1970s, they were more conservative. I'm hopeful that these conservative young men are going to start to imprint on these conservative young women because once women get married and have kids, a lot of their life circumstances and focus changes. And so I write about that a lot in the book, too. It's not just about how Trump won. It's how does the coalition that Trump put together become more durable and lasting to make the country a better place in the decades ahead?

Glenn Beck
We're talking to Clay Travis, co host of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show that immediately follows this program on Premier Affiliates. His book is How Trump Young Men and Sports Saved America. The one thing I'm concerned about is this disconnect with the young men. How do we make sure that they don't become even more disaffected and start going down roads that are destructive?
- [74:49]
Clay Travis
Yeah, it's a fantastic question. And first, I think all of the dads, all the grandfathers out there, we have to do a better job than we have been so far. I think, Glenn, the biggest threat to men is actually men not being involved in raising men. And I write a lot about this in the book, too, because it is a call to manhood. Nothing for a lot of people out there that, that, that have kids, boys in particular, that they're raising. You know what the data shows, Glenn? That moms who are raising kids as single moms, that young girls actually do pretty well in those households because they have a strong female figure that they aspire to be more like. And young women are not as harmed in single family households. Young men struggle immensely because moms cannot be both mom and dad for them. And they need male role models. And this is where I think grandfathers, this is where uncles, and frankly, this is where dads, it's easy to Create a kid. It's hard to become a dad. And a lot of men, frankly, have run from the hard work. And I think also this is a part where the government has failed. You know, you go back and look in particular in the black community, there was huge two parent households in the pre civil rights era in the black community. You go back and look at the data, it's really pretty staggering. And then in the civil rights movement, as the welfare state took over, the government in many ways tried to replace the dad of a household. And a lot of black men stopped being involved with raising their children. So you're talking about a world where Black children were 80%, two parent households, pre civil rights to one, where now we're talking 15 or 20%. And a lot of those kids then grow up and become unfortunately major issues for the nation as a whole.
- [76:48]
Glenn Beck
Well, you also, I mean, you create. My father told me something when I was young. I was mad at him, you know, 16 years old and you're arguing with your dad. And I'm like, oh, never grow up to be like you. And I walked away and I went to my room and pretty soon a couple minutes later, there was a knock on the door. And my father said, I'm so proud of you. And I just, it was. Made me so mad because I, I wanted to win. And he said, I'm so proud of you. And I said, why? And he said, because I didn't want to be like my father. But I want to make you a promise. If you don't find a role model, if you don't find a dad that you can model yourself after I warn you, you will grow up to be exactly like me. And he wasn't saying that to rub my face in it. He really did not want to be. His father was a very bad man and he did not want to be his father. And so he was trying to give me a good piece of advice. Where do you find that role model? Because you have, I mean, you've generations now that have not grown up with a strong male leader in the household.
- [77:49]
Clay Travis
Well, I write about a lot about this because that, that is a huge part of this. A lot of them have gone online and I think the online ecosystem, the so called manosphere, you can find a lot of good, you can find a lot of bad there. And sometimes you're finding some of both from, you know, from some of these people. I'll give you an example. One of my sons likes Andrew Tate. And I was like, oh, you know, that's a little Bit controversial. What do you like about him? He said, what I take from him, dad, is he says, shut up, wine less and do more push ups. And I'm like, you know, that's, that's not, you know, not whining and doing more push ups is not the worst thing that a 13 or 14 year old could take. Correct, Correct. But I think this is candidly where sports comes in to a large extent, too, because there are so many people who try to emulate their favorite sports fan.
- [78:45]
Todd Rokita
Right.
- [78:45]
Clay Travis
Young boys want to be bigger, stronger, faster than we are. Men want to be bigger, stronger, faster than we are. It's why sports is so compelling. But I also think you're seeing, and this is encouraging to me, a growth in men looking for something larger in life. And a lot of them are finding religion. You know, young men are going back to church at very, very high levels. I think Charlie Kirk had a hugely impactful role there. And so there's a desperate search for meaning. And young men are on that quest. And I think they are looking for everybody out there that is a dad, like I said, a grandpa, an uncle. I think we all have to do a better job reaching out and teaching kids how to become men. And because manhood has been under assault by so much on the left, and by the way, women are a huge part of this too, because no women out there want weak men.
- [79:45]
Todd Rokita
Right.
- [79:45]
Clay Travis
This is not something that women are aspiring to. A lot of moms, I think, are going to read this book and say, you know what, this is frustrating. I don't want a world that creates weak men. I don't want to raise weak sons. And so we all have to come together. And I spent so much time thinking about this in the book. Glenn was just trying to figure out, this is a great toehold that we got in 2024. How do we expand it into a durable and lasting majority that it can be so profoundly impactful for the country.
- [80:18]
Glenn Beck
Friend of mine said he was very optimistic when Trump won, and he has been since that day until the last election that happened two days ago. He said, now I'm worried. I mean, are we going to be able to hold this? Are you optimistic?
- [80:36]
Clay Travis
I am, and I tend to be. For people who listen to the show, you know, Buck tends to be a little bit more pessimistic online. I tend to be pretty, pretty optimistic. And look, here's the reason why I am optimistic. I just believe in the marketplace of ideas. And I think over time, if you make good arguments, you win. And I think Republican Arguments are better. You know, everything that Republicans argue makes sense. It's why it's Gavin Newsom, who may be the nominee in 2028, is already basically saying, hey, I didn't mean any of the things that I said for much of my political career. Because he knows that when you watch that argument, that debate that he had with desantis, desantis wiped the floor with him because he had the right arguments, he had the right facts, he was able to marshal them. I think the big question, and I write this in the book, is going to be, you're going to see an amazing pivot after the midterms terms. We're going to go from Trump is Hitler on the left side to no one is ever going to be able to replicate the unique political skills and talent of Donald Trump. And they're going to say that his coalition will not follow him and will not follow whoever is succeeding him. I tend to think that that's not going to be true. But the only way to win is by fighting hard every day. And that's what I try to do. That's what I know you do. And I feel fortunate to be able to talk on the radio, but also to write a book like this, which I hope people really will enjoy.

Home Title theft. It's one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States. And, and this stuff happens way too often. A thief finds your title online, uses fake identification to pose as you, and then sells all sorts of paperwork and all of this other nonsense. And they can either sell the house out from under you or they can take out loans against your equity. Once that happens, they can go down this road and make your life a living hell. To be honest with you, most people don't even realize this has happened until foreclosure notices start arriving. And by then it's usually way too late. At least to save your sanity. Home Title Lock is the only service that actually protects your title from being stolen. They monitor the deed to your home around the clock, alerting you the moment any unauthorized change happens. And if there's tampering or whatever, they're going to let you know. And if someone tries to forge your ownership out of your hands, the restoration team is there. They can work with you to stop the transfer and help you recover fast. I worked with Home Title Lock for a while because I believe in this and I think it's important to protect. It's one of those things I'm not going to monitor on my own. You need to have someone helping you with this. The promo code is Blaze. By the way, if you go to hometitlelock.com, you get the free title history report plus a free trial of their million dollar triple lock protection 24. 7 monitoring of your title records, all sorts of stuff. So check it out. It is hometitleock.com the code is Blaze.

You're going to hear one of the most amazing stories I think I've heard in a long time. It's in Indiana. The state of Indiana school is suing their largest school district because it has sanctuary style policies that blocked ice. As if that's not bad enough, they're blocking parents. This is a story we'll share with you in a minute of a dad who wants to self Deport goes to pick up his son to self Deport and the school officials block dad from taking his son. Who the hell do these people think they are? We're going to talk to the people who are involved in this, at least in the sane part of it, including the Attorney General of Indiana and American First Policy Institute Chief Legal Affairs Officer that's also fighting this. We have both of them on. It's an incredible story. It's next. This is Glenn Beck. Let me talk about your back here. Your back doesn't ask for permission to start hurting. It just does. Okay, maybe it's from hours at a desk, long drive, lugging holiday decorations out of the garage. Whatever it is, maybe it's just the natural aches and pains that come from getting a little bit older. Well, either way, when that pain sets in, I don't know, you give just about pretty much anything, right? For one good stretch with just a little pain relief. Just a little bit. This is where CHIRP comes in. It is a smart, simple wheel that is designed to target the muscles along your spine, all the ones that hold that tension you didn't even know you had. You sit down, you lean back, and you let CHIRP do its work. It gives you that deep, satisfying relief like a chiropractor's visit without the appointment or the bill. It's not some sort of goofy infomercial product you're going to use once and forget about it. Five minutes in the morning, five at night and you're going to feel the difference. More flexibility, less stiffness, and a back that feels stronger every day. Here's what I want you to do. I want you to go to gocherp.com beck user promo code beck get a 10% discount.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. So every day I get about 90 stories from all of my producers and we have about a 20 or 30 minute meeting early, early in the morning and everybody pitches a story and says, you know why that story is important. And this one was pitched to me a few days ago and I was like, boring. Because this is the headline. Sanctuary school district policies that obstruct federal immigration enforcement are under a lawsuit now. Wow. Not interested. However, then my producer said, let me tell you the story. It involves a guy going to school to pick up his son, his child so he could self deport and the school stop this dad from taking his own child. Excuse me. What now? I really want to hear the full story. Good thing is we have the Indiana attorney general and, and the chief of legal affairs for America First Policy Institute. They're teaming up. They're the ones having the lawsuit against this school district. This school district is way out of control. We'll have them tell you the story here in just a second. First, if you're feeling the financial pressure right now, you're not alone. Believe me, everybody is. Credit card balances are at record highs. Interest rates are through the roof.

I feel so much safer now that I've heard that long obnoxious disclaimer. Todd Rokita is with us now. He is the attorney General from Indiana. And Leanne o' Neill is the chief of Legal affairs for the America First Policy Institute. They are the people that are the head of this story in the lawsuit. Todd, Leanne, thank you so much for joining me.
- [91:50]
Todd Rokita
Hey, Glenn, great to be with you. And I'll have to have it tell my staff to work on those press release headlines so you're better interested next time.
- [92:00]
Glenn Beck
Well, I mean, you're kind of bearing the head, you know, with what I Can't believe. I can believe that there are schools this out of control, but not so out of control that they block a dad from picking up his own son. Can you tell me what happened?
- [92:16]
Todd Rokita
Yeah, I sure can. And I'm sure glad to have Leigh Ann with us on this lawsuit. You know, of course, AFPI is the policy arm. Policy more than a think tank, an action tank that's associated with the policies of President Trump. So. So we couldn't be more grateful. But what happened here? Think about this. Remember, Kristi Noem had the voluntary deportation opportunity. Now, this is an opportunity that's been in statute before Kristi Noem, before President Trump, but it's never really been utilized as much as this administration has. And so this father, recognizing that he was not in compliance with the law, decided to say, you know what? I'm going to take advantage of this opportunity so I can maybe come back the right way one day. Need to go get my son at school. And went to the school to try to get his kid, and the school obstructed him and then obstructed ICE from assisting as well. So the lawsuit's not just about that. It's about a whole string of policies that we've uncovered, Glenn, that this school system and probably others around the country have in place that keep these kids and keep ICE from doing their job.
- [93:31]
Glenn Beck
So, Leigh Ann, what is it about this case? Because that's outrageous enough. What else is this school district doing? This is the largest school district, I think, in Indiana. And what else are they doing?
- [93:44]
Cheyenne
Yeah, that's right. No, and thank you, Glenn, for having me. And I'm just so, you know, I can't say enough about Attorney General Rakita's courage in enforcing this law. You know, if we don't enforce these laws, we won't have a country. So this is so important, but I'm really glad that you asked that question. You know, the school district has several policies in place that directly violate the state law. And, you know, one is that the schools can't implement policies that make it difficult for employees to follow federal immigration law or to cooperate with federal immigration officials. And. And, of course, that's what happened here. Additionally, the law prohibits local government agencies from having policies that restrict the ability to collect information about immigration status. So, you know, the Biden administration unleashed 400,000 unaccompanied minors into this country who are all at grave risk of, you know, unthinkable tragedies and crimes against. Could be committed against them. And if schools are prohibited from Collecting information about students in their own buildings, then it is going to be very difficult, if not impossible to find those kids and get them back to safety.
- [95:01]
Glenn Beck
So Attorney General, you're looking at this. I mean this is a school district that is deciding that they are against, that they're above the law. I mean I've seen cities do it, but I've never seen a school district do it.
- [95:19]
Todd Rokita
Right. And look, these school districts, Glenn, in a lot of ways are just like these Democrat run cities. Now the Indianapolis public school system is the largest in the state. To the individual teachers credit, only half of them are with the union, which I find to be sort of refreshing.
- [95:38]
Clay Travis
I figured that I'll be.
- [95:39]
Todd Rokita
But it's really the leadership in the, the elected school board who are all leftists and the leadership who, you know, again, this is part of the Marxist agenda. The parents are subsidiary, they're subservient to these administrators, to the teachers themselves and they work against the parents. And why do I call this, I'm not being overly dramatic though when I call it Marxism, but that's what it does, right? Marxism attacks the family unit which is the foundation of our free system society. Right, These strong nuclear family. So they also do. The school system also does it in another regard too. So it divides the family literally. In this case, you know, the father who wanted to take a son back to their home country. But they have a gender affirming plan, for example, that says, hey, it's a questionnaire that the teachers fill out. This kid is transitioning. Is the parent support for this high or is the parent support for this low? Oh, it's low. What do we have to do to make sure that the transition isn't obstructed is basically what the form asks for. So it's this division in keeping out of parents and basically the state's assumption of our greatest asset from God, which is our, which is our children. And so that's what's wrong here. That's what's at the core of all of this. That the family and the parents don't have the authority or the rights that they're supposed to have in a free society like America.
- [97:08]
Glenn Beck
It's amazing that they are protecting, they're not protecting the family. But I mean, you know, let me take it from where Leanne was. I mean Ms. Ms. 13, child traffickers. I mean they seem to be protected here.
- [97:25]
Cheyenne
That's, that's exactly right. I mean there again with the policies that refuse to allow cooperation and sharing information about illegal immigration status is just Like a welcome mat for the hordes of dangerous criminals, even high school age students who could be in these schools. And now the actions of the school district have prevented I from being able to determine that.
- [97:54]
Glenn Beck
Do you have any attorney general, do you have anything to add on what's happening with, you know, child trafficking or MS.13 in these schools?
- [98:04]
Todd Rokita
Well, that's exactly what you know, whether it exists or whether they're having the atmosphere or the environment so that it can exist in the future. That's what the parents and the taxpayers have to watch out for. I mean, let's not forget your listeners, Glenn. We all are paying for these schools and we're forking over this money, we think to somehow educate our kids when they're being either groomed or indoctrinated and the school is working against us. I mean that's the most frustrating thing.
- [98:34]
Clay Travis
But yeah, this could be a very.
- [98:35]
Todd Rokita
Dangerous, safe safety issue here. So I guess the bottom line for me, Glenn, is and I know your listeners and you talk so much about Congress and I was a congressman for eight years. I'm here to tell you that the sun does not rise and set at Congress. I mean a lot of days like today, they can't tie their shoes. Look to your attorneys general. Look, those are important races. And as you see from this lawsuit and the other things that we do, we can actually move the needle. So that's where listeners have to invest their time.
- [99:08]
Glenn Beck
Was there any law broken by holding this child away from the parents?
- [99:16]
Todd Rokita
Well, yeah, I mean what this lawsuit's about is the fact that they are harboring a sanctuary jurisdiction. They have created a sanctuary jurisdiction here which is against the law of the state of Indiana. We have a pretty strong very good by Senator Eric Cook, a very good anti sanctuary city, anti sanctuary jurisdiction law in the state of Indiana. And we contend that's been a violation. Now that's a civil matter. Whether or not a crime has been committed in the state like Indiana, that's completely jurisdiction of a local prosecutor. I can tell you where IPS is located in the city. This is a Soros back prosecutor so nothing's going to happen in that regard.
- [100:02]
Glenn Beck
Leon, consequences for the rest of us if this doesn't go the right way.
- [100:08]
Cheyenne
Well, it's a complete breakdown of the law and the rule of law. If this is continued to allow if this is continued to go on. The Indiana representatives passed this law and Attorney General Kita is enforcing it. And that is what is demanded of the leaders in the states right now. And I think it's Just so incredible that he's taken this step in filing this lawsuit and holding this school district accountable. Because if we don't protect our schools in states where we have very good statutes that require that, then we will not have a country any longer.
- [100:50]
Glenn Beck
The chief legal affairs officer from America First Policy Institute. You can find them at america first policy.com Leanne O' Neill and the Indiana Attorney General, Todd Rokita. Guys, thank you. We'll be following the case. Appreciate it.

You bet. Bye. Bye. Let me tell you about the burner launcher. Can you imagine Stu going into school and. And the school district saying you can't pick up your kids?
- [101:16]
Steve Baker
No.
- [101:17]
Stu
No, I cannot imagine that.
- [101:19]
Glenn Beck
Especially when you're like, I want to pick up my kid because I want to come back to America and have the chance to come the right way. You're stopping me. You're gonna make me even more of a criminal. And they won't let you have your kids. My gosh, I'd lose my mind. Yeah, I'd lose my mind. All right. So anyway, Burna Launcher. There they have a new compact launcher out it is. Small enough to fit in your hand, light enough to carry anywhere, powerful enough to change everything in a split second. It's the new burner compact launcher. It is built for the realities of modern life when you need to protect yourself. But you. You know, you don't want to take a life to do it. The compact launcher uses pepper and tear gas projectiles that disable an attacker for up to 60ft away. There's no permits, no background checks. It's legal in all 50 states. It is the most portable, convenient version of the burner yet. Ready whenever you are, wherever you are. Once you go to Burna.com by R N A.com Berna.com and find their compact launcher now Burna.com Glenn you can try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse location. You can find that location near you@burna.com Glenn 10 seconds. Station ID so remember when you were a kid and you made. Made a horrible mistake? You went out on your own, and you're living on your own, and you do something, and you might have even called your parents, and your parents wisely said, don't do that. That's gonna. It's gonna leave a mark. It's gonna. It's not a good idea. And you were like, yeah, but I know. Well, I live on my own now, so I. I can do what I want. And you're like. And their parents were like, well, we'll support you on whatever you want. But, you know, the consequences of this one are, you know, that's. It's not. It's not good. It's not gonna work out well. And then you had to call your parents and just say, please, please, just don't say, I told you so. And if you had good parents, they didn't. They were like, no, we support you, and, you know, glad you learned from your spake. But if you had a parent like me, it was like, you can't stop me from not saying, I told you so. What were you thinking? What were you. No, it didn't happen. My daughter and her roommate decide they're going to get a lab for a pet. Stu, what do you tell your daughter, your son? They go out, they live on their own, the roommates in an apartment building. They decide to get a lab for a pet. What do you say?
- [103:53]
Stu
That's okay, but there's a lot of responsibility. Are you prepared for it?
- [103:58]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, right, right. Probably not the best idea, you know? Probably not the best idea, but, you know, well, my daughter and her roommate, they went out, they got a lab, and it hasn't worked out. It hasn't worked out. And now.
- [104:15]
Stu
When did they get this dog?
- [104:17]
Glenn Beck
Two days ago.
- [104:20]
Stu
It hasn't worked out. It hasn't done anything yet. It's only been two days. What do you mean it hasn't worked out?

Glenn Beck
Two days. Two days.

- [104:44]
Glenn Beck
It's been a very, very big thing. She's just got this sweet sweetheart, and now she's got this sweet, sweet dog, and she doesn't have any idea what to do. She can't bring him back. They're like, well, not our dog anymore.

Well, certainly being nice to her. I'm curious, though. Like, did you talk to her about. Hey, like, yeah, the first couple of weeks are going to suck, right? Like, this is.
- [105:25]
Glenn Beck
No. And I don't want you to share any of that. Either. No. She's made up her mind. Hello, Cheyenne.
- [105:34]
Cheyenne
Hi, dad. How are you? Miss yourself?
- [105:38]
Steve Baker
I'm good.
- [105:38]
Glenn Beck
I miss you an awful lot. I miss you an awful lot. So Stu thinks that you should tough it out.
- [105:47]
Stu
Well, I'm curious. How bad has this actually been, Cheyenne?
- [105:55]
Cheyenne
It hasn't been bad. We love him. We really do. He's a great dog. It has been difficult with another 20 year old in the house. We're both really struggling with that.
- [106:11]
Glenn Beck
So it just got some. It's not the dog. It's not the dog. Okay. It's not the dog. The roommates are all kind of up in arms. Okay. And so the dog is just standing there going. And I just. I just want somebody to walk me.
- [106:28]
Steve Baker
Who will walk me.
- [106:29]
Glenn Beck
Right.
- [106:30]
Cheyenne
Well, he's great. We go on walks every morning and he's a great dog. He really is.
- [106:35]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. How old is he?
- [106:37]
Cheyenne
Give him up.
- [106:38]
Glenn Beck
How old is he?
- [106:39]
Cheyenne
So we, we picked him up at the shelter, so we don't know exactly how old he is, but he's in the 2 to 4 range. Like that's kind of what they gave us.
- [106:50]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And he's really cute. And he's.
- [106:53]
Cheyenne
He's so.
- [106:53]
Glenn Beck
And he's not.
- [106:54]
Cheyenne
And he.
- [106:55]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And he's not going to the bathroom inside or anything, right?
- [106:58]
Cheyenne
No, he's a good dog. He's great with people. The only time he's peed is when he got really excited and was like, dogs do that.
- [107:06]
Glenn Beck
So do old people.
- [107:07]
Cheyenne
Yeah.
- [107:08]
Glenn Beck
But yay.
- [107:12]
Stu
Yeah, that does happen.
- [107:14]
Cheyenne
He's great with people. I've already introduced him to people in our leasing office and, and just people walking by. He doesn't bite at dogs. He's very, very sweet and he's very obedient. He learns quickly because he's a lab retriever. Bits. So, yeah.
- [107:33]
Glenn Beck
So if you're, if you're, if you're interested in a dog, do you have the email address? Do you have an email address you can give out?

Cheyenne
Yes, the email address. His name is Snoop. So the address is Snoop the dog.

Stu

Glenn Beck
Yeah, Mountain west in Utah. Okay.
- [108:31]
Cheyenne
Yeah. The closest areas to me are like, Utah County. So if you live there, you know.
- [108:36]
Glenn Beck
What I'm talking about. Okay.
- [108:39]
Cheyenne
So, yeah, if you're close to that area, hit me up, let me know.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. He's a great dog. He's a great dog. We've gotten. We've grown to love him. So in the last two days, hour.
- [108:51]
Stu
27 was an incredible hour.
- [108:53]
Glenn Beck
Hour 27, that was good. It was dicey. Hour three was a little dicey. But by hour 27, we've just fallen deeply.
- [109:00]
Cheyenne
Deeply.
- [109:02]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. All right, sweetheart. Thank you. I love you.
- [109:05]
Cheyenne
All right. Thanks, dad. Bye.
- [109:07]
Glenn Beck
You bet. I love you.
- [109:10]
Stu
I have so many questions. I have so many questions.
- [109:13]
Glenn Beck
Oh, oh, so many questions and no answers. No answers. Just. Kids do the damnedest things at D. This is Glenn Beck. Buying or selling a home isn't just business. It's personal. It's where you've built memories, raised kids, and maybe even put roots down that you never. You never thought you'd have to leave. So when it's time to move, you need more than somebody who can fill out paperwork. You need somebody you can trust. That's why I recommend to you my company, realestate agentsitrust.com Again, these are professionals that we have vetted. I've used it myself here recently. We just moved to Florida, had to sell my house in Dallas. Tried to sell it about five years ago, couldn't sell it. He went to real estate agents, and I said, do we have anybody in my neighborhood? Can we find somebody that has these qualifications? We did. We sold the house almost immediately. It was pretty amazing. I said I wanted to be. I want to be out of the house by November 1st. We closed on the 31st of October, and it. I mean, it rarely went smoothly. That's Brad Cook in there. Lisa True is the one who helped me find a house, and she was with us for, like, two years. We were a big pain in the butt. These people care about you. If you want somebody who really cares and listens and will find the right house, sell your home on time for the right amount of money.

Glenn Beck
This is the Glenn Beck program. My name is Glenn Beck. Thank you so much for listening. If you're a new listener to the program, you know you're gonna hate it at first Give it a few weeks, and you'll go numb inside and, you know, and then you won't worry about changing the channel. But thank you so much. Thank you so, so much for listening. We're at a moment in our civilization's life that comes along where the signs are no longer subtle. They don't whisper from the margins anymore. They stand right in the road. They've got a big flashlight in your eyes. You're daring. You. Come on, look away, look away. Today, anybody who still believes in the Judeo Christian pillars that built the west and the Western civilization, the signs are no longer scattered everywhere. They are converging. And I want to tell you a story about what happened this week in Germany. Little town in Germany quietly submitted Christmas to Islam. It is in the town of Overath. It's right in the heart of the nation. This is the town where Box Christmas oratorio was written and first performed it. This town canceled its Christmas market. Now, we don't really have Christmas markets like they do over in Europe. They're these little towns. They're just such great little iconic little squares, and they. They build little shops inside the square, and it's snowing, and it's just so Christmasy, and it's filled with lights, and you go and you buy Christmas presents and foods and, you know, decorations and whatever, and they're. It's. It's been happening since, I don't know, the year eight. I don't know when they started, but they've been happening for centuries. Okay, why did this town cancel this? Because police warned that the presence of a mosque next to the square posed, quote, security challenges. Okay, well, that's a problem. And they said to secure the Christmas market against the security challenges would cost more than the market cost to put on itself. And so they canceled the Christmas market. The birth of Christ is now suspended for fear of offending those who deny him in the first place. Think what that means. Not in outrage, not an outrage in diagnosis. Think what this means. A culture that can't defend its own sacred symbols has already ceded something much deeper than public space. They are surrendering memory. And this is happening everywhere, and we have to start recognizing it. I mean, it's why the Charlie Kirk thing was important. But quite honestly, the Charlie Kirk thing, it better not turn into something political. It was spiritual. The reason why he made such an impact is because he was talking about things about God, eternal truths. And we don't need a revival. We need an awakening. And the difference between a revival and awakening, a revival sends Everybody back to church, and they're all talking about God, and everybody feels good. Those happen all the time. An awakening happens. Rarely starts with a revival. Then people go to church and they're like, wow, we are so far off the beaten path here. We've got to change the way we do things. We have to change the way we see things, the way we act in our homes, in our businesses, and in our government. That's an awakening, and it needs to happen. And the only place it really has a chance of happening is in the United States. Honestly, you think it's going to happen in Great Britain? Right now, entire towns and villages are echoing with public calls to prayer, sometimes six, seven, eight times a day from the Muslim mosques, as the church that once stood at the center of the community is shuttered or sold or being transformed into a mosque or burned. Hundreds of churches all across Europe have been vandalized or destroyed just in the last two years. This is not a metaphor. This is a map of retreat. Last night, another headline, man driving his car through a crowd. Driving his car through the crowds shouting Allah Akbar. We're told it's another isolated incident, really, another tragedy that just does not reflect the broader community. Really strange how this isolation, you know, stuff repeats itself seemingly daily across continents. Meanwhile, if you're paying attention, in Africa, Christians are being killed at a rate unseen in modern times. In fact, the greatest persecution of Christians of all time is happening right now. Churches are burned. What was it Yesterday? Was it 19,000 Christian churches were burned in the last couple of years in Africa. In one country in Africa, pastors are being executed, entire villages being erased. And the world shrugs. Why? Because the victims carry crosses and the killers carry the banner of a radical creed that the west no longer dares to name. Let me bring this home. The election of Zoran Mamdani, openly not just praised by care, but also championed by Linda Sarsour and said it was CAIR and the Muslim community that planned this and got him to be elected. Okay, you can be a Muslim and you can be fine. I have Muslim friends. I don't have any Islamist friends. I don't have any friends who want to overthrow the United States or change and leave the constitution of the United States and reinvent everything. Those are not my friends. I don't care. I don't care what church you go to, what mosque you go to. You. You believe that. You're not my friend. All of this is happening because the west has grown either forgetful, apathetic, or timid. And radicals have grown Bold. Now, you're either a believer in the Judeo Christian tradition or not. But if you believe the Judeo Christian tradition is what created the west, why has this Western culture decided that warnings are impolite? Somehow or another, we believe that defending our own civilization is somehow or another an act of aggression. It's not. And history laughs at that kind of naivety. Okay? They're laughing at us. I've seen them. I've seen them say, you people are so stupid. Don't you see what's happening? Just by the birth rate alone. And I've never had a problem. I don't care. I really don't care. But that ideology, Sharia law, I do not want my children or grandchildren living under. That's evil. Period. I'd rather fight this now. I'd rather fight it before we ever had to use guns or anything else. I'd rather just stand for my civilization now so my children don't have to. So my children. I'd fight it with words now. I'd fight it with awareness now so my children don't have to fight it with machetes. In the future, every civilization that has fallen, Rome, the kingdoms of Iberia, the Christian enclaves of the near east. They all fell because they refused to see the signs. Not because the signs weren't there, they were. But because they were inconvenient, because they required courage. This is not a clash of skin color or nationality. This is a clash of cultures, of systems of morals, of foundations. The Judeo Christian west believes in the dignity of the individual, each individual. We believe in the rule of law, law made by man, inspired by God. We believe in the sanctity of conscience. We believe that just because you don't share my faith doesn't make you an infidel that I can now take as a slave. Sharia law replaces all of this stuff with compulsion, individual worth with collective submission and the equality of man with the supremacy of a creed. You've got nothing left when there are millions in our streets. Millions in the streets all over the west that are calling out loud for the replacement of the Western law with Islamic courts. They do so openly, publicly, loudly, repeatedly, and now with political backing. That's not diversity. That is a competing civilization, Crane claiming ground inch by inch while the old one is apologizing for even existing. How is the west giving up Christmas and we're the ones that are intolerant? We're giving up Christmas because they can't tolerate our Christmas. Tolerance is a virtue until it becomes abdication. It's such an exciting and bold time to live. We are really honored to live at this time because we are going to be tested over and over and over again, and we are going to find out who we really are. And I do not want to be the people that future historians look back on and say, you know, they saw the storm. They just closed the shutters and pretended it was rain. It's not rain. It is the cracking of the foundational stones of our civilization. The west is not going to fall in a single night, but it is falling. It falls when the faithful grow silent. When the faithful say, well, well, you know, God this, God that. But I got to keep silent about it. Civilization falls when. When you're shamed into believing that your own heritage is somehow a sin. When you refuse to defend the moral architecture that gave us human rights, the moral architecture that gave us limited government, equality before the law, and the idea that every man and woman is born not as property and cannot be taken as property because we are all, no matter what your creed or color is, are all children of an all powerful, mighty God. We cannot focus on the anger, anger and fear and hatred. You are commanded to love your neighbor and love those that hate you. I'm telling you, you're also required to see. Open your eyes. Have your friends and neighbors and your family open their eyes. If you still believe that the Judeo Christian ethic is worth preserving, not for domination, but because it gave us the gift of the understanding for the first time, of individual human freedom. If you believe that, then you have to be a sentinel. You have no choice. It's your moral obligation. Darkness doesn't conquer a civilization. It just takes the place of whatever refuses to shine. And the lamps of the west, are they flickering? Are they even lit? Is there oil left in that lamp? This is not a call to arms. This is a call back to standing for the principles that you know are true. Standing for the principles you grew up knowing were true. Just saying. No, we are not closing our Christmas village because you're offended by means, no offense. I'm not offended by you. And. And yet I'm the one being called not tolerant. And yet you are forcing me to cancel my Christmas village, which we've done forever. No, if you're standing up for your God, I will stand up for mine. I don't believe we have a choice.

Talking about the Christmas village that's now been killed. The. I'm excited for Christmas. Although my wife and I were out shopping someplace over the weekend, I can't remember, and every store we walked into, it already had everything. Christmas, it was the day after Halloween. It was like they spent all night tearing down the spooky stuff and putting up Jesus stuff or tree and Santa stuff. I mean, it was like, what has happened when my. And my wife was like, every year? And I'm like, really? Every year? November 1st. That's. That's the beginning of the season.

Stu
Well, they've decided that the only time they make money is Christmas, so they might as well make Christmas as long as possible, which is an interesting choice. Like, I heard a commercial. I think it was two or three weeks before Halloween. And it was. It was for Home Depot, I believe. And it was. It was like, it's the holiday season. You can get all your supplies. And I was like, is this a. Like, are they trying to just include Halloween in the holiday season now? Is that a new shtick? But no, they just went to the. When they went to the video of it, it was just all Christmas trees.
- [127:41]
Glenn Beck
It was like mid October. It's interesting how you leave Columbus Day out out of the holiday season. You just went right to Halloween.
