You want to know what the eight saddest words in the English language are? I didn't know.

[Stu Burguiere]

Your family just died.

[Glenn Beck]

That's not eight.

[Stu Burguiere]

Clap. Your family just died. No, your family just died.

[Glenn Beck]

That's nine. You said no, your family. So it's actually, I didn't think it would happen to me. Which is also something you could say after your family just died. Unless the previous sentence is about you winning the lottery, you don't want to be caught saying that. So that's why you have one of the fastest growing crimes in America that you want to stop before it starts. It's called home title fraud, house stealing, home title theft, any of those. You don't want to be involved with any of them. And basically it's a situation where these hackers or cyber thieves can take your home's title and they do this by just paperwork stuff. They sign over your home to them and all of a sudden it looks like they have your equity. And guess what? They get to do with it? Whatever they want. Look, no one is watching out for your title except you. Unless you get Home Title lock and Home Title lock.

[Stu Burguiere]

Stand up straight and hold the light. It's a new day. I'm turning. Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program and hello, you sick freak. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I think, hey, I'm gonna try one more day of being nice to the Marxists that seemingly all want CEOs to die. We're gonna start once again in a very nice way for maybe I think I can last 45 second. Talk about the people who are making this killer, who on this program will remain nameless, who are making him into Robin Hood or some sort of sex God, which is wildly disturbing and stems right from BAAL worship in the Old Testament of mixing death with sex. I don't know if I can make it 45 seconds. Give me 60 and then we'll start. So the Ministry of Preborn is doing right now more than anybody I know, to help champion the cause of life. And they are able to keep going because of people just like you. They are the country's largest now provider of help and largest pro life organization in the country that is on the ground in the most active Areas they find where the most active Planned Parenthoods are. And they plant themselves right there. And they are saving lives too. Not just the baby, but the mom as well. And they save 200 babies every day. Now things are changing and so are they. I can't tell you all the things they're doing. I just will tell you. I have sat down for months and talked to them about these things and seen what they're doing to help moms. And I have to tell you, they are on it. And remarkable. $28 provides an ultrasound. You can sponsor an ultrasound that doubles the chance of a baby's life being saved. This Christmas for just $28. Save a life. Thanks to a special matching grant, your gift will be doubled. Save two lives for the price of one. Donate now. £250. Say the keyword baby. That's £250 keyword baby. Or go to Preborn.com Beck sponsored by Preborn. You know, I really didn't think that we would have to start here, but America seems to be thirsty for blood. Now I want to talk about those people who I believe are in the vast minority that are overjoyed, just, I don't know, all just hepped up on the lust of this guy. I mean, this is blood lust. What's going on? The guy who killed the United Health Care CEO whose name should stop. People need to stop saying his name. Stop making him into a well known hero or even a well known individual. Stop saying his name. He's doing more damage. And the press, who? We won't say the name of any shooter unless of course they're a conservative or they're a complete Marxist. And that is exactly what we're talking about here. I don't care what his ideology is. I don't care who you know, he took a picture in front of a Trump sign. I could give a flying crap. He is the embodiment of Marxism. And you'll notice that all of the supporters are all of the supporters of all of the deep Marxist ideas. Marx was the one who was saying to people, go in, get the bourgeoisie, drag him out in the street and kill him. This is a prediction you remember I made on Fox years ago, many times. Yeah, yeah. And the first time I said it, it was out of frustration because I was watching the media hold these people up and I said, are you out of your minds? You think they're going to think you're a friend, they're using you and they will pull you out of your cute little anchor seat and they'll pull you into the streets of New York and beat you to death. And that's exactly who they are. Now let me start here. How many people do you know? Plus how many people do you know? Because the death count was on the news every day. The death count of COVID How many people do you know personally and just through facts of the United States died because of COVID Whose fault was that? I will tell you. It was the fault of Fauci. Peter. It was not Peter Strzok. It was Eco Alliance. It was China. It was the Wuhan Lab. It was big, deep secret science. It was our federal government and it was the healthcare industry. Some, some, we now know that they knew that this vaccine wasn't effective. We now know they made up many things. How many people had a grandparent die where they had to watch them die on Facetime or standing outside of the nursing home with them not even understanding why they couldn't, why you couldn't come in? How many people died because we followed what the government was telling us to do? And the government was in bed with these giant pharmaceutical companies and the teachers unions. Now, out of all of those people that lost a loved one and has every reason to be pissed, how many of them that you know or you have read about picked up a gun and killed somebody in the government or Fauci or the United Health care people? How many do you know? Remember, we're talking about people who know they've been betrayed by their government or these health care industry or the big pharmaceutical. They know they've been betrayed, their families. Did anybody go after the governor of New York who knowingly put sick people into the nursing homes and killed how many, Stu?

[Glenn Beck]

Arguably thousands.

[Stu Burguiere]

Thousands. Okay. Do you know why they didn't pick up a gun? Because that is not American. That's not the way we do things here. That's the way they do things in Marxist countries. And when those kinds of people get in power, then government becomes force and a fire. And then the officials just tell you. See if this sounds familiar. Just tells you exactly what to do and what to believe. And if you don't, they'll drag you out into the street, they'll discredit you, they'll make sure you can't work. And at the end, if you still won't comply, they'll beat you to death in the street to teach everybody else a lesson. That's who this guy is. That's who this guy is. This is. That's who. That's what he wants. That's what everybody who is standing up now saying, well, it's. I don't agree with murder, but they should be afraid. No one in a civil society should be afraid other than afraid for justice. They should be afraid of being exposed and the police coming to pick them up if they broke the law. The reason why we have vigilante justice is because. Why, why they are making him into Robin Hood. What is the story of Robin Hood? What is it? Oh, he stole from the rich and gave it to the poor. No, that is not the story of Robin Hood. The story of Robin Hood was the sheriff and the king and the nobles. That is, the government at the time was taking everything from the poor and feasting on it. They were robbing the poor because they controlled all of the laws. Robin Hood took the money back from those guys, from the corrupt government and gave it to the people. That's. That's a story. I think I'd like to make very well known that that's an anti Marxism story. That's an anti fascist story. That's an anti huge government controls everything story. People are calling him Robin Hood. He's not Robin Hood. He wasn't a good guy. Who did he, who did he help? Do you know what happens when people are afraid and they're already in bed with big government? This is the largest private partnership probably ever in the history of the world, our health care industry with the United States government. You want to be mad at somebody, be mad at the government that they won't let the healthcare industry carry insurance across state lines. There's all kinds of things that could be done to make sure that our healthcare privately actually works. But because we've had so many Marxist and big government people in, they've. They've made all these rules, so it falls apart. Why? So they can jam you into something where you become beholden to them? This is, this is remarkable that there are so many. And I'm glad we're knowing who they are. I really am glad. I'm glad they're exposing themselves. Jimmy Kimmel. What Jimmy Kimmel did last night. I mean, I didn't need any more information on Jimmy Kimmel to know who he was. But yeah, we now know he's a guy that will preach against violence, will preach against people who believe in the Constitution and the rule of law, say they are violent, and then come out and hold up vigilante squads and encourage it and laugh at it and make it famous. Hmm. Here's what Americans do. Americans see a problem and they tolerate it. Unfortunately, they Tolerate it usually way too long. But nobody likes to step into the unknown. Nobody likes that. You don't like that. If I said, hey, you know, here's some facts that will make you completely change and make you a liberal, and I actually had facts which don't exist that would make you into a progressive or a socialist. Even if I could make that point, most people wouldn't do it. And I could say that about anything. Let me change your religion, your belief. I can prove to you that God doesn't exist. Just say I could prove to you, which I can't, that God doesn't exist, or he does exist. Most people won't go there because it's uncomfortable and foreign. They know that they would have to change everything in their life. That's why people come to Jesus, usually only when they're on their knees, because they have no other option than to change. That's why rich people don't. You know, you don't see the rich people say, you know what? I think I should have some missionaries over and talk to them about Jesus because their life is fine. What is happening here is we have Marxists preying on the people who have been shafted or have felt shafted. And I have news for you. Everyone in this audience has felt shafted by the pharmaceutical companies or the health care industry. Everybody. I do. Everybody feels it one way or another. One reason is because they've made it. Now, the Marxists have a right. You have a right to all of it. Well, you don't, but that's beside the point. The government has made it almost impossible for you to actually find ways to make it less expensive. And then the government partnered with these guys, and so they're all in bed with each other, so there's no cop to run to. Well, we ran to a cop because that's what Americans do. We ran to the cop after. We take it and take it and take it, we finally get up off our butts and enough of us go to the ballot box and say, enough is enough. That's why I'm so excited about Cash Patel. Let me finish this here in one minute. You ever think about going back to that time so long ago when you weren't dealing with pain every day? Remember how easy it was to love life when you felt good? If you live in pain, here's a chance to get your life back. And let me say, this is something that I love doing commercials for. Relief Factor. Because they tell you out front, it doesn't work for everybody. About 70% of the people who try it for three weeks and take it as directed, they find a difference in their life. 30% don't. That's why they give you the discount at 1995 to try their three week quick start. You take it for three weeks. If you're not seeing any changes, stop taking it. They're not trying to screw anybody out of money. This is an all natural supplement that worked for me and has worked for, you know, over a million people. Relief factor.com relief factor.com call them now. 804 relief 800 the number 4 relief 10 second station ID. So here's how Americans deal with things. We went to the polls and we voted for Donald Trump, right? We voted for Donald Trump. Why did we vote for Donald Trump this time? It was different than when we voted for him in 2020. We were voting against the corruption in Washington, but we didn't even understand the corruption like we do now. Thank God he wasn't elected in 2020 because now we have a completely different understanding and we have people from all walks of life joining this movement now going, this has got to stop. So the reason why I'm so excited for Cash Patel, Vivek Ramaswamy, Elon Musk is because I know those guys are going to expose it all now. They may never see justice because you know, yesterday Biden did more pardons than any president ever in the history of pardons. And he's talking about pardoning people like Fauci. Pardoning him for what? He said he wasn't a criminal. I don't want him to go to jail or anything else if he didn't break the law. All I want is the truth. That's all you should want. If these guys in the healthcare industry or pharmaceuticals or the NIH or whatever, as we're talking about the COVID stuff, I just want the truth. In fact, I'll go so far. If he pardons Fauci, I want the truth about Fauci known. If it is the truth. If we can expose all of the stuff and shows what we believe. Today it's says that he knew and he was covering up. I just wanted exposed because I don't want him to have his good name for the rest of his life. People should know he knew and obstructed, he knew and falsified information he knew and covered up while millions died. That should be known. Do I want somebody to shoot him in the street? Absolutely not. Do I want people to know who he is based on facts? Even if the president pardons him and he can never go to jail. I'd rather have him tried and go to jail but I at least want it exposed. That's what you voted for. You want the healthcare system to be fixed. That's what you voted for. You want change. Believe me, change is coming. Only Marxists, only Marxists want to gun people down in the streets and say get them. They're rich. They're powerful. They're rich. Did I mention they're rich and they're powerful. Kill them. Only Marxist Americans do not do that. Glenn Beck. We quite frankly do what we just did. Now half the world is poised to use gold backed currencies. The BRIC nations are moving towards it in an effort to unseat the US dollar as the world's reserve currency. Texas is trying to do the same thing Kevin was on yesterday. How many states did he say? 30. 20 or 30 are moving towards gold. Black currencies, state gold backed currencies. This is so important. Gold is going to be returned to because all of this is going to be exposed as the game. It is all of these people who have enriched themselves on printing of money. Those days are coming to an end. It's mathematics. Don't let yourself be dragged into that. Lear Capital. I want you to call them today. They have thousands of 5 star reviews, 24 hour risk free purchase guarantee and a free wealth protection guide. You've worked your whole life to save your money so you can retire. Back it up with gold. Call them now. 800-957-Gold. 800 957-Gold.

[Stu Burguiere]

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We have Pat Gray joining us from Pat Gray unleashed and stubborn. I just kind of did a rant on the shooter whose name shall not be mentioned on this program and should not be printed by the plays or anybody else. Stop making this guy into a hero. But you know, this is another rich spoiled kid who, you know, thinks he's going to change the world and he uses Marxist techniques. I don't care if he was not technically a Marxist or whatever, that's what he's doing. Show me your actions and I'll tell you. I can pretty much figure out what you believe. If you believe shooting CEOs and you believe capitalism is a poison. I don't know. I think I could put you in the right category, Pat. Yeah, and it's amazing to watch the left praise him. And deify him and fawn over him and drool over him and.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, have you seen his abs? It's embarrassing. I have seen his abs. All right.

[Pat Gray]

I have.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. You can't help but. Because they're everywhere.

[Glenn Beck]

That one's bad. The. I mean, the one we played yesterday on CNN when they're like, oh, get rid of that banner so we can see his abs. Like that.

[Stu Burguiere]

Incredible.

[Glenn Beck]

Incredible. Really cringey. It's just another indication of what a.

[Stu Burguiere]

Death cult the left is. Yes, it is a massive death cult. They don't care about human life. You remember when we talked to Rabbi Lepido? Been trying to remember all day, the direct story. But there is. There's a commandment. We should see if we can get Rabbi Lapin on the phone today. There's a commandment or something that in Hebrew it talks about the mixing of death and life. Maybe it's milk and meat. I can't remember, but it's. It's. I'm sorry. No, no, no, it's not. It's nothing. It's a couple things.

[Glenn Beck]

There's a couple things mixed.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. No, it's death and sex. Oh, okay. That is. Whenever you watch this in a movie where somebody's getting turned on by killing somebody, the reason why that's so innately disturbing is because it's one of the heights of evil. You're. You're. You're. You're making. You're taking the. The creation.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

At the same time, you're killing. Okay, Right. And that's really kind of what this story is. This. This is literally blood lust. That's what this is.

[Glenn Beck]

It really is. Can I take a moment, though?

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Push back.

[Stu Burguiere]

Sure.

[Glenn Beck]

A little bit. On the assumption that our health care system sucks by everybody.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, I don't think. No, it does.

[Glenn Beck]

No, it doesn't. It just.

[Stu Burguiere]

I have United Healthcare. Yeah, it's been great.

[Glenn Beck]

They haven't turned down a single procedure.

[Stu Burguiere]

That I can think of.

[Glenn Beck]

Yep.

[Stu Burguiere]

Is that who we have here? Yeah, it's who I have. Is that what you guys have?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, yeah, it's been. It's been great. And I had a problem with it.

[Stu Burguiere]

Do you have a problem with it? I have Blue Cross, Blue Shield, so it's different. You know, I do have a problem, but. Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, you. You may as well. There's a bunch of different ones.

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, I have probably. Which one is the company offer? My company. I guess they're all different.

[Glenn Beck]

Pete's Health Insurance.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

There's a guy in a clown costume and A knife. And you go down there, he cuts things out of you.

[Stu Burguiere]

He's been great. He approves everything. When you get a hold of him, he's just hard. He doesn't have a car phone.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, he has. Yeah, he has the giant car phone. He does, and it's too big for his head and he can't get to the mountain.

[Stu Burguiere]

But he's in the van under the.

[Glenn Beck]

Under the overpass.

[Stu Burguiere]

I agree. If you look at. Go. Go get cancer treated in Canada.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, good luck with that. Good luck with that.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

By the way, you know, we think of things that we disagree with. Like there's things that are divisive in this country. Abortion, for example. Like, you got one of those 50, 50 issues. There's a lot of them. 81% of Americans are happy with their health care. 81%.

[Stu Burguiere]

And I bet that's down since Obamacare.

[Glenn Beck]

Obamacare does drag it down. It's the worst part of the. It's the lowest percentage.

[Stu Burguiere]

And what is that? Let me just remind everybody, that is the public private partnership between the government and the healthcare industry. That's what that is. And it's got the lowest approval rating of any health insurance in America.

[Glenn Beck]

So not a surprise.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's not true. We just didn't do it. Right.

[Glenn Beck]

You know, and I will say one of the things that was most frustrating to me about hearing the fallout of this. You guys probably saw some of his manifesto that he wrote. There's been bits and pieces. I don't want to go into too much of it, but, like, there's some version of this in my head when it happened, where you have this person, and this is what the left kind of has of this guy. Like this guy who's, you know, he. He studied and he worked and he looked at the healthcare system and he fought it and they denied his claims and he couldn't stand it anymore and he stood up and he took a stand for the people. No, this guy's just an idiot. Okay? In day one of healthcare argument, school is the point.

[Stu Burguiere]

Did you know that we pay the.

[Glenn Beck]

Most in health insurance and we're only 42nd in life expectancy? It is like the most basic argument in the argument. That's the first thing you see when you walk through the college of healthcare arguing school. And that is what he put in there. Like, that's his point. And he's like, I. And he even says in there, I'm.

[Stu Burguiere]

Not really the best person to argue this, but, you know, who is Michael.

[Glenn Beck]

Moore, first of all. First of all, no, he's not. Second of all, can you imagine a manifesto written with. I'm not the best person to argue this. We know who is Glenn Beck. Can you imagine what the news headlines.

[Stu Burguiere]

Would be, all my good?

[Glenn Beck]

There'd be thousands of people outside the door protesting.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

There'd be death threats that you'd be on every.

[Stu Burguiere]

You'd be off the air today.

[Glenn Beck]

Off the. Well, I believe I heart would stand behind us. But still.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, you know what? I think you're right.

[Glenn Beck]

I think you're right, especially with the.

[Stu Burguiere]

New administration coming in.

[Glenn Beck]

But I will guarantee you'd lead every single news broadcast. Michael Moore is. They are putting him on. You know what they're saying? Well, what did you mean about your healthcare critiques? Go through them again. Can you imagine?

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, my gosh.

[Glenn Beck]

And so. And it's that dumb thing where if you look at. There are a thousand different ways to go through that. We've been through them. You wrote a book with a chapter that went through all of the things, picking this apart. But like, of course, the reason for that statistic is, number one, car accidents. We drive a lot more than people in other developed nations. We get a lot more. People die. There's, you know, things like violence in cities.

[Stu Burguiere]

There's things like we're all fat and lazy.

[Glenn Beck]

We have lots of money. We're fat. We also, and this is shown all over the world, when you get to a certain amount of wealth, you start taking more. You spend more of your money on healthcare. The society demands it all over the world. Luxembourg spends twice as much as Spain and they have basically the same health expect, life expectancy. Why? Well, because at some point, you know, you're throwing money and you're just trying to get a few extra days. Like, the returns are not as good as you get up in that curve. But like, there's, you know, opioids are a big part of this drug. There are all sorts of issues, accidents. But like, when you get to the point when you're talking about the health. These are not healthcare issues. You, you driving 85 miles an hour getting hit by a Dodge Challenger is not a healthcare system issue.

[Stu Burguiere]

I don't know. I can make a case against Dodge with a good attorney. If I can get a good attorney. I could.

[Glenn Beck]

You could. So anyway, this is just like, it's basic stuff. And so he wasn't even like a smart villain slash thirst trap, whatever the heck they're doing with him right now. That bizarre thing that they're just glorifying this guy. He's just a moron who read like four tweets and watched a dumb Michael Moore movie and this poor guy paid for it with his life.

[Stu Burguiere]

So go ahead.

[Glenn Beck]

And his family's incredibly wealthy.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's what I was going to say. I want to bring up his family.

[Glenn Beck]

It's not like he couldn't afford healthcare.

[Stu Burguiere]

And we all know he apparently had some kind of chronic back pain or something and that drove him to kill Pat. You don't understand the amount of people I've murdered over the years because of my back pain. When I first Met Pat in 1989. No, 1988, maybe. We first met the first year Pat had to do his part of the show from his bed for what, three months? Yeah, it was about two, three months. Two, three months.

[Glenn Beck]

Because I couldn't get.

[Stu Burguiere]

And he's never had relief from his back pain since. In 35 years. Okay. It's so crippling. I feel like a baby every time I go, ouch. And I hurt a lot, but I know I don't hurt like he does. But that's why I've killed dozens of people over years.

[Glenn Beck]

And it's justified.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's justified. Well, I didn't believe it was at first, but then he did say, owie, owie, owie, owie several times. And then I was like, now it's understandable. Yes, they had it coming. Added coming.

[Glenn Beck]

And the only thing we know about his health care, by the way, is that the United Health Care did cover his claims. I know, like he actually wrote about it on Reddit that they did cover his claims. For some it was a different ailment, but he got this surgery. I don't know. I mean, his family's very well off. It doesn't seem like he got any lack of care. It's just like. It's just this guy was won over, let's be clear. And this is not the fault of people who argue this, but this guy was won over by dumb left wing healthcare arguments. Yes, that is what happened here. Now that is not the fault of Michael Moore. Michael Moore. I don't care how dumb he is, it's not his fault.

[Stu Burguiere]

Or fat. I don't care how fatty.

[Glenn Beck]

He's very fat as well. The guy knows a lot about healthcare, probably because he's at the doctor's office 14 times a week because of the way he eats. But that being said, it's not his fault. No, but that is what occurred here. This guy was won over by really dumb left wing healthcare arguments that. And what? And these Are. This is a guy who follows AOC on Twitter. This is a guy who did all this crap. If we were the same as the left, we would be just straight out blaming them.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yes. For this we're not.

[Glenn Beck]

But I don't think that's the way it should be handled.

[Stu Burguiere]

And you know, I just want to say one other thing about healthcare. You care about healthcare. If you were at all excited about RFK Jr and everybody on the left should be very excited about RFK Jr because you agree with a lot of, a lot more of what he says than I do.

[Glenn Beck]

And he was a Democratic presidential candidate in this cycle.

[Stu Burguiere]

So what is he trying to do? He's trying to expose the pharmaceutical companies that are in bed with the government, the healthcare industry that is in bed with the government. He is trying to show how our food is being manipulated by big food. Okay, and what are the Democrats doing? The Democrats are trying to pass a five year farm bill to jam it through so he can't touch anything in farm. They also are trying to pass a giant pharmaceutical bill. And I believe they did pass, didn't they? The extra bill to say, no, no, we're serious. Pharmaceutical companies can't be held responsible for anything.

[Glenn Beck]

Is that the official title?

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, yeah, no, it's Make America really Super Healthy Again. But that's what they're doing. They're obstructing what you just voted for.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, that's not a surprise at all.

[Stu Burguiere]

But who's protecting, who's protecting the lies? I'm not saying United Healthcare, because if that's what I have, I have Blue Cross Blue Shield, but you guys have it. And I have a problem with healthcare companies. But I'm not going to go shoot anybody. Even if I had the most extreme, I would then if I couldn't get healthcare, demand that the United States government reform its laws so there could be competition against bad healthcare companies. Anyway, let's move on. Thank you so much.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

[Glenn Beck]

Angel Studios got a new movie coming out. You're going to enjoy it. It's coming out December 20th. It's called Homestead.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, you saw it. It's really good. It's really, really good. It would be massive if Joe Biden would have won because everybody would be in this mindset. But we still need to be in this mindset. It's really good and just, I mean, it's just entertaining. Fun movie to watch, a little disturbing. You know, the beginning just opens up with, oh, there goes Los Angeles. Right?

[Glenn Beck]

Nuclear holocaust type of thing in Los Angeles.

[Stu Burguiere]

And it's the biggest concern of Donald Trump. But how do you survive that? And it's a really good look at it in an entertaining format.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. How do you survive a nuclear. I mean, this is right up Glenn Beck's alley.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, this is so good.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, you're going to love the movie.

[Stu Burguiere]

One of my favorite actors in it, too. I don't ever remember his name. White hair, blue eyes, always plays villain.

[Glenn Beck]

He was in suits. That's what I remember. You could pre order, by the way, your tickets right now.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, the Weather outside is frightful but.

[Glenn Beck]

The fire is so delightful.

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, hello America. So I have a next hour. We're going to talk about those, the drones and the mothership from Iran. Did you hear that?

[Glenn Beck]

I just know that it's not us. Not the government.

[Stu Burguiere]

Of course.

[Glenn Beck]

They announced it yesterday.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, then they would never lie to us. No, they never be the government. I think I have the answer for this. I'm going to give it to you next hour. I truly believe I've been thinking about for a few days. I. It absolutely makes sense. I talked to our intel guy on our team, Jason, he's spoken to other intel people and I think, I think we know what it is. I think we know what it is, but we're playing, we're playing enormous games here right now. And if it's not us, wow, are we, are we a joke of a country?

[Glenn Beck]

Hmm. That is right. I would be much more comfortable with actually. We're trying some new technology and we might use it in the battlefield someday. We're just kind of flying it over America. Yeah, I would be much more confident than what they did, which was it's not us, but it's not another country. But we don't know what it is. Huh? What do you mean?

[Stu Burguiere]

And it's no threat. Don't worry, it's no threat. If you don't know what it is, you can't follow it. You can't follow it on radar or sonar or infrared. How do you know it's not a threat? That makes no sense.

[Glenn Beck]

Did you hear the part of this where they said the drones followed a Coast Guard ship? Did you hear that part of the story? And I had heard it briefly like, okay, they kind of like, all right, who cares? I mean, it could be, who knows what it is. Then they said it was between a pack of, between 13 and 30 of them. Did it.

[Stu Burguiere]

Wait, what are their pistols or even flares on a Coast Guard gun? Could we, I mean, if we didn't, honestly, if we didn't know what it is when it's off the shores, why wouldn't we shoot it down?

[Glenn Beck]

Every one of them gets shot down, right?

[Stu Burguiere]

Every single one of them gets shot down. Or at least we attempt to shoot them down. Something's not right. We're going to get into all of that next hour. Standby. The Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to the Fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. I think I can prove to you in 30 seconds that, yes, the Bidens voted for Donald Trump. A lot of speculation there, you know. Oh, they didn't look at each other at this time. I think I can prove it to you in 30 seconds. I'll do that in 60 seconds. Hang on.

Patriot mobile.com Beck patriot mobile.com Beck972 Patriot all right, so on the, on the day of the election, what was Jill Biden wearing when she came out smiling after the vote?

[Glenn Beck]

Reg. Famously red.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay. And I thought, okay, maybe, I mean, she has a blue vote dress that she's worn before. I don't know if you ever saw that. She wore it like at a convention or something. And it's, it says vote on it.

[Glenn Beck]

That sounds terrible.

[Stu Burguiere]

It was pretty terrible. But if you want to send a message of voting and voting blue, that's what you would wear, right?

[Glenn Beck]

But also, you don't have to send a message up with every outfit.

[Stu Burguiere]

Amen to that. So I, I'm like, okay, maybe I think you're reading too much into it. Then they don't talk to each other anymore this week. All of a sudden they're at the Kennedy center sitting next to each other. Okay, the Bidens and the Harris's sitting next to each other. Biden's. They don't. She is sitting right next to Kamala. They don't. Kamala never turns. I mean, sorry, Biden never turns and even says hello, doesn't look her way the entire time. Now how do you do that? Takes effort. That takes control. Okay, so there's no love loss there. Now here's where I'm going to prove to you. They despise her. And she voted against Kamala. This is what happened at the White House yesterday. She was on prompter. She was talking about Christmas. And then she uses the word joy in her speech. And then she says this. So I hope that you all feel that sense of, you know, peace and light and that just for a moment when you leave here today that you feel, feel, I don't know, a little a sense of joy. Because I think we all need, like this, you know, we all need to feel joy now during this time of the season. During, just during this time. So anyway, okay, now I'll start. You're all reading into that. Okay. If you're watching Blaze tv, you may have spotted what I just spot. Spotted. But play the last 10 seconds of that back if you can. And if you can't, just play the whole thing. You know, we all need to feel joy now during this time of the season. During, just during this time. If you're aware you don't use at this point, but okay, she's using it. Go ahead, keep playing. Because I think we all need. Like this, you know, we all need to feel joy now, during this time of the season. During. Just during this time. Stop. Just during this time. Not just the time of the season. Just during this time. So now she's narrowing it down to there are problems. Okay. And we should feel joy. Well, that was the campaign slogan. There are problems, but we have joy, and we're going to solve them. Now, here's. Here's where that cuts the throat. Listen to the audience. And then if you're watching Blaze tv, watch her eyes. Watch her movements. You. It's very easy to lie, but your body will always give. Unless you're a great actor or actress, your body will give away the lie. Your body will not act the same way as your mouth. And even your eyes. Her eyes and her body betray her. Here, watch. During. Just during this time. So, anyway. Okay, now I'll start. You're all reading into that. She did not look at the crowd. If. If that's happening naturally, that would have easily been. If she didn't even think of that connection, you would have immediately looked at the crowd. Your eyes would have darted back and forth like, am I missing? What am I missing? And you might have even said, what do you guys. I'm sorry, what. What did I say? Okay, she. Her eyes didn't dart. She didn't. She wasn't startled by it. She just leaned down to the microphone and said, okay, you're reading too much into that. I'm sorry. No, nope, that was intentional. That was. She despises Kamala Harris. Despises her. Disagree with that.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, I could see it. I don't know that I'm as convinced as you are. I mean, joy is a word associated with the holiday season.

[Stu Burguiere]

I know. And that's why. And that's why it's fine in this season.

[Glenn Beck]

Right. But she just seems to be just stuttering and looking around, trying to get to the end of that thing there. I don't know. I mean, I think it's possible. But it's interesting, though. Like, and I. I'm not a fan of Kamala Harris. You may know that.

[Stu Burguiere]

Really?

[Glenn Beck]

You didn't vote for her? No, no. And, you know, veepthoughts.com you can watch all of her greatest hits.

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

But, like, is she the one to get mad at for the Bidens? What did she do here?

[Stu Burguiere]

I think she feels. I think the Bidens feel that she was knifing them, remember? I know. I think it's the. I think it's the Obamas.

[Glenn Beck]

Pelosi.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, and Pelosi, which I don't believe they've talked to Pelosi since.

[Glenn Beck]

No, I think that one's real.

[Stu Burguiere]

I think this one's real, too.

[Glenn Beck]

I think this one's real, too. I just don't know that it makes all that much sense now. Kamala Harris, when have you.

[Stu Burguiere]

When the Bidens made sense.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, that's true. That's true. I mean, he's. He's famously just stutters his way through nonsensical jabbering. But I just feel like, you know, I will say this for Kamala Harris, from the Joe Biden perspective. She. She. She. Her opportunity to become president of the. Was to say he did a bad job. If she would have said that, she would have had a chance at winning that election.

[Stu Burguiere]

I agree.

[Glenn Beck]

If she would have said, look, I talked to Joe behind the scenes. I tried to get him to move on the border. He had a different vision, and what happened didn't work. So I fought and fought and fought and fought, and finally we got those rules changed. I know it's nonsense and bs, but she could have take it to make.

[Stu Burguiere]

Him, and she never did.

[Glenn Beck]

And she never did. In fact, she went on the View and said she couldn't think of anything that she would have changed in the.

[Stu Burguiere]

Entire administration, because that's also true. She could sing.

[Glenn Beck]

But that's not. What does that have to do with anything?

[Stu Burguiere]

I'm just saying you're forgetting on that particular one, you're forgetting how stupid she is.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, okay, okay, that could be it. But again, if she's just, you know, whatever. Whatever the reason she didn't go to after the 25th Amendment. She didn't leak to the media that he was having these moments behind the scenes throughout three and a half years of the presidency. I don't think there's a good case that the problem with Kamala Harris from the left perspective is that she wasn't too disloyal to Joe Biden.

[Stu Burguiere]

All right, all right. Let me share one of something that I've been thinking about lately on somebody I have to call and make amends to. Let me share a story I don't think you even know. Okay, Okay. A bad story about me.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, gosh.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

So open up the book. Do we have to add another chapter?

[Stu Burguiere]

You'll never guess where this was happening. Height of my alcoholism in Baltimore. No way. Yeah. Yeah. Strange. All right, so this company that I was working for was playing around with our contracts and stuff, and they. They wanted to hire me, but I was partnered with Pat and we were best friends and we were killing it, but they just didn't want to pay Pat. And I said, I'll renew my contract if you renew Pat's contract so we can continue on. They said, fine. So they did. Soon as we signed the contract, they just invoked the clause to pay him off and got rid of him and replaced him with someone else without me knowing anything about it. Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

I remember the outline of the story.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

Typical radio, by the way.

[Stu Burguiere]

Typical radio. Just knife you in the back, lock me in for five years. And the guy who I've wanted to partner with forever. Yeah, Gone, gone. Okay. For no reason whatsoever. And so I'm working with my attorneys and they're like, glenn, there's not much you can do. And I'm like, oh, yeah, there is. Oh, there's lots I can do. And so this guy named Larry Wax came in and it was his big shot to be on, you know, Baltimore radio. And he was very excited. And he would see, we're not excited. No, no. And I did not participate in, you know, help plan the show. He would plan the whole show. Okay. Because he knew. Because I was like, hmm, I'll just follow you.

[Glenn Beck]

So you were so angry, you were protesting, essentially.

[Stu Burguiere]

And I was like, I'll just follow you. Which I've never, you know me, I've never done that. I was. My name was the first in the show. Right, Larry, you go ahead and you just tell me what we're going to do. And then he'd say, okay. Right before the break. Okay, so we're going to. We're going to end here, but I'm going to say this, then you say this, and then we'll get into this conversation about this, see where it goes. But we're ending here, okay? He'd open up the mic and he'd say, so what'd you do last night? And I was supposed to say, I watched Netflix. And I said, I didn't do anything. I went to bed early. And he would just look at me. You're like, what the.

[Glenn Beck]

What a jerk.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, my gosh. I destroyed everything. And I. Eventually I apologized to him. I said, larry, this is not. I'm sorry. Because he looked at me with these big sad eyes and he was like, glenn, you're killing me, man. And I'm like, I know, but they signed me to a five year contract, and I'm not going to be here for five years. I'm not.

[Glenn Beck]

You're trying to get yourself fired.

[Stu Burguiere]

I'm trying to get myself fired because I didn't have an option out. And I just looked at him. I'm. Towards the end, I really felt bad. And I was like, I'm sorry, Larry. I know I'm destroying your one shot.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, my God.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, it was horrible. And I feel he's been coming to mind so much. I don't even know where he is. I don't know what happened afterwards. And I feel really. I feel like I should call him and say, hey, Larry, please tell me you're not, like, in the sanitation industry now. Please tell me that you had some success afterwards. That I.

[Glenn Beck]

In the industry.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

So wait, so you'd never really. You lost contact with the guy and never kind of talked this out?

[Stu Burguiere]

You'll be surprised. We didn't have a good relationship.

[Glenn Beck]

So you were bringing that up on the Kamala Harris context?

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Do you think that she was maybe undercover?

[Stu Burguiere]

It doesn't matter if it was her. She was the tool used to take her. No matter how nice she was to him. Larry was very kind to me and gracious on the air. Okay. I was not having any of it. And I was never mean to him, but I would never play along.

[Glenn Beck]

Not helpful.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay. Not helpful at all. All right. That's what I think is happening with Kamala. First of all, she has a record of knifing her boss in the back.

[Glenn Beck]

Totally. In fact, that is her specialty. I would say it's the talent she has.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yes. Although, you know, knifing her boss.

[Glenn Beck]

Some former mayors of Los Angeles have ideas about their talents. But generally speaking, the one talent she has is that behind the scenes.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

Grasp for power.

[Stu Burguiere]

But I have absolutely no evidence of that other than her history. I don't know. She seemed to be very kind and everything else and very gracious about it, but she was at least the two. She was his. Larry Wax. Sorry, Larry, if you're listening, I really mean that. It's been bothering me. I'm going to try to find you. I'm sorry, but that's what it is. That's what it is.

[Glenn Beck]

I think you could make the argument that Biden was doing that to her the entire term. Like, he was always positive about her, but then would leave. The entire administration was leaking negative things about Kamala for three and a half years.

[Stu Burguiere]

I don't know, though, that that was necessarily him, I think. I mean, all the stories were, everyone hates her. Everyone around her or everyone in her office hates her. Okay? So I don't know if that was necessarily Joe Biden going, let's come up with some bad things. I just think everybody hated her. Like, she's a nightmare. Now, he did set her up on things like you're the borders are.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, he sunk her.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, yeah. Again, she's terrible and never really had a chance at success in her political career. But I will say, like, you know, he didn't help.

[Stu Burguiere]

Now, you might be asking yourself, why are you guys debating this? Because in about six months, no one will remember her name. So if we're going to talk about it, we got to talk about it. Right.

[Glenn Beck]

And we're already there with Tim Walz, which I love.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

We've already forgotten him.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh.

[Glenn Beck]

So unless you happen to live in Minnesota.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. And you're remembering it going, what did I do? Anyway, let me tell you about Mantis X. If you're a gun owner, there's nothing quite as satisfying as hearing that ping when you fire at a metal target or hitting where you are aiming on a paper target. Problem is you have to drop a fortune every time you, you know, load your gun. But you need to have great aim. You have to have confidence when you shoot if you're ever really going to carry. What you need is a product called Mantis X. This is a great Christmas gift. For anybody who shoots. This is a great Christmas gift. High tech, easy to use system used widely by the military helps you improve your shooting quickly. You can attach it to your firearm and connect it with an app on your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. Then whenever you're firing actual rounds or even dry firing practice, it will show you exactly what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong. It is really, really good. Mantis X again makes a great Christmas gift. Be a responsible gun owner. Increase your competence and your confidence today with Mantis X. Get yours [e-mail] that's mantisex.com 10 seconds. Station ID okay, so yesterday Republican Representative Jeff Van Drew told Fox News this about the drones in New Jersey. You know, I'm also on the transportation Committee on the Aviation Subcommittee. And I've gotten to know people and from very high sources, very qualified sources, very responsible sources. I'm going to tell you the real deal.

[Glenn Beck]

Iran launched a mothership probably about a.

[Stu Burguiere]

Month ago that contains these drones. That mothership is off. I'm going to tell you the deal. It's off the east coast of the United States of America. They've launched drones. It's everything that we can, can see or hear.

[Glenn Beck]

And again, these are from high sources.

[Stu Burguiere]

I Don't say this lightly.

[Glenn Beck]

Now, you know, we know there was.

[Stu Burguiere]

A probability it could have been our own government. We know it's not our own government because they would have let us know. It could have been some really glorified hobbyist or hobbyist that were doing something unbelievable. They don't have the technology, but let's pretend that's possible.

[Glenn Beck]

The third possibility was somebody, an adversarial country doing this. Know that Iran made a deal with.

[Stu Burguiere]

China to purchase drones, motherships and technology in order to go. Now. The Pentagon came out and said, that's not true. There's a state senator, you might have seen this on X last night. Here's what Doug Steinhardt said on these drones. Got 13. The best information that we have available.

[Glenn Beck]

To us to this point suggested that.

[Stu Burguiere]

These drones are coming from offshore. That when we try to make contact, contact with them, they become evasive and elusive. You know, from my perspective, if they are American assets, if they're American military.

[Glenn Beck]

If they're American drones, and I think.

[Stu Burguiere]

We owe the American people answers or explanations, but they have to stop now. Brian Bergen is another New Jersey assemblyman. He drove two hours for a private meeting with the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and everybody else. This was going around last night and he left the meeting. He said it was the biggest bunch of bullcrap he's ever heard. He's former military. He said, we don't know what it is. Of course we know what it is. And they gave us no information. He was really angry. He's joining me here in about four minutes. So stand by. I think I know what these are, but I'm not ruling out the Iran thing. I mean, a strike right now would put the world at war. I don't think so. The Pentagon said no. But do you trust the Pentagon? The problem is here, we don't trust anybody because they've all betrayed our trust. That's why, why people voted on both sides for Donald Trump. Because we have to know the truth. We'll try to seek that next.

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin]

Stand up, Glenn Beck.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay, so what actually matters to you? Family matters. Your faith matters. God matters. Living a life of integrity matters. But America matters as well. Giant, American giant, was created 13 years ago just to save one foot clothing factory in North Carolina so the jobs could be saved, the employees could continue to work, and the town didn't dry up. All of these towns that have good people in it, that they used to make American things. One of the reasons, one of the only reasons why I'm for tariffs is because if he can lower the taxes dramatically, especially on companies and raise these tariffs, these companies are going to move back into these factories in these towns like nobody's business. And that makes a lot of sense for America. Spending your money where it really matters makes a difference. Buy American giant clothing. All 100% made here in America.

[Stu Burguiere]

I'll be home for Christmas. Home for Christmas by Enshey Ann Grace thank you so much for just listening to it and trying it. We're very, very proud of it as a family and proud of my daughter and we're glad you like it and thank you so much for giving it a chance. I want to bring in Brian Bergen. I saw Brian on, I think it was X yesterday. He's a New Jersey assemblyman that drove a couple of hours for this, this meeting with, you know, the DHS and you know, the FAA and everybody that should know what the heck is going on with these drones. And he walked out early, he was so flaming angry. And I wanted to get him on today. Brian, how are you?

[Pat Gray]

I'm doing great, Glenn. Thanks for having me, man.

[Stu Burguiere]

You bet. So why'd you walk out yesterday? What happened?

[Pat Gray]

Well, so we got called down there, we being all 120 members of the state legislature of New Jersey, the assembly and the Senate got invited to come down to this special legislator only briefing down in, in the state police headquarters. And the state police was there and the Department of Homeland Security was there and they were supposed to tell us what's going on.

[Stu Burguiere]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hang on just a second. So they didn't even come to you? They said to all of the legislators instead of how many guys were speaking? 10.

[Pat Gray]

Less.

[Stu Burguiere]

Less. 10. Okay. All right, that's good. All right.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, yeah. So we all went there and, and then the first thing that they say is this is not a classified briefing. And in fact we could have probably let the press in. And then they just went on and said that they know nothing and they have no understanding what's going on. They don't know where they're coming from, where they're going to, or who's in responsible for it. And so I was just, I was just pissed that we're there to listen to such a Bush league amateur hour presentation that they could have given us by a text message. And what really got me upset was the primary reason why I left early was two things. The colonel of the state police said that he had a helicopter of his hovering directly above one of these drones, which he called a six foot drone. But he felt unsafe for his pilots and had them land 10 minutes later he says, hey, it'd be really nice to know where these things are coming from or they're going to. And I'm like, well why did you follow the friggin thing when you had it in your sights? I mean I have no idea why.

[Stu Burguiere]

No, actually I want the audience to know. You were, you were an Apache helicopter pilot in Iraq. You have a bronze star combat action badge, several honors, you graduated West Point. You're not a nobody on what happens in the sky.

[Pat Gray]

Right, right. Yeah, that's exactly right. And I mean first of all when he said his people were hovering above it, I was like, well that's stupid. Who hovers above a target? You know, you want to get a standoff distance and follow it, you know, so you can use your systems to track it. And it was just, yes, I'm speaking from some level of experience here, but more importantly it was just common sense. You have this thing in your sights that you know is potentially a threat because we don't know where it's coming from, where it's going to, where it's controlling it. And it's 6ft big in the sky and you just let it go. I mean it was mind boggling to me. And the second thing that they said that really sent me through the moon was the Department of Homeland Security has some device that they're going to give to the state police that will help them identify drones in the sky. And it, it's supposed to be pretty cool technology. It feed, it filters out birds and stuff like that and it's supposed to be really good. Anyway, one of my colleagues said well when are you gonna get it? And this, the colonel state police said it should be here in a couple days. And I was like in my head, should be here in a couple days. Like what the hell are you doing? Somebody go get in a van and pick it up and drive it to frickin New Jersey right now. You know, I mean Glenn, this is the level of stupidity that we're dealing with here. And that's why I was so frustrated.

[Stu Burguiere]

Let me run a couple of things by you. First, somebody came out, you know, a congressman came out yesterday and said I'VE got it on good authority that it's Iran and they got a ship off. If that were true, would we not have fallen, followed these things back to the ship? Why aren't we blow. If they're going back over the water and they're not ours, why wouldn't we be blowing them up over the water?

[Pat Gray]

Well, so that's a great question. And it was Congressman Van Drew who said that, and I think very highly of Congressman Van Drew, and he's not someone who normally says something outlandish like that in this case. You know, I rag on our state government all the time, and in this case, Homeland Security, but our US Navy is a force to be reckoned with in the world. Now, I'm a West Point grad. It is Army Navy week. So I hope we beat the hell out of Navy this weekend. But I got to give him some respect. They would not allow an Iranian ship of any kind to get close to us.

[Stu Burguiere]

Correct.

[Pat Gray]

I find that to be pretty unusual that that would happen.

[Stu Burguiere]

So the next thing is, if we couldn't track these things. I've been in the New Jersey and New York area. There's a lot of airplanes in the sky. And if you can't track these and you don't know where they are, you would ground all of the planes because you don't know if they're hostile to planes. You don't know if one of them just gets into the flight path of another. There are planes everywhere in the sky. So again, that leads me to believe you can track these and you know where they're coming from.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, this. I don't know all the technology available to them. What I do know is we're the United States of America, and I live in a state, New Jersey, which has a $56 billion budget. The fact that we don't have the resources available to us to figure this out is ludicrous. And you're right, there's a lot of the concerns keep piling up. Now, one that you mentioned. What if they go dark? As the governor said, that's a danger to other aircraft that operate visual. Flight rules at night. There's a lot of potential issues here. Some lawmakers are calling for a shutdown of drone activity in the SK guy. But, you know, we don't even know whose people are, what they're doing. They're certainly not going to listen if we shut down the activity.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. Let's take all the guns from the. From the good guys. Right? I got it.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah. Right. But what we do need to do is common sense. It just needs to be an all hands on deck approach. The state Police, the National Guard, which can be mobilized by the governor, the Department of Homeland Security, and they need to follow one of these suckers to wherever it goes. And let's figure out who's responsible.

[Stu Burguiere]

So here's what baffles me, Brian. You get at one guy with a laser pointer in his backyard, and he points it at an airplane and a pilot, and the FAA tackles that guy. They grapple down from helicopters and make sure that never happens again. How do we. If this is some private citizen or citizens doing it, how would we not know that?

[Pat Gray]

You're 100% right. And that's why in the interview I had yesterday and a couple I said, it's a lack of effort. It has to be. Has to be a lack of effort. You know, the FBI is an amazing organization that takes down people all the time before they do all kinds of crazy stuff. You know, they have a litany of successes that they can point to of stopping things before they happen because of their counterterrorism efforts and their intelligence efforts. Why the hell they can't find anybody responsible for this or pick up any chatters. Crazy.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay, so let me give you my theory, and please, if you think it's nonsense, shoot it full of holes. My uncle used to be in military intelligence back in the 60s and 70s, and he did all of the nuclear stuff. And when the Stealth B1 bomber came out the wing, he said, old technology. And I said, what? And he's. Because, remember, it was first spotted and they were like, what is that? It's a ufo. And he's like, that's been available for a while. They'll announce it to the country and they'll fly it around, and then people will speculate and then they'll say, oh, yeah, we have a B1 bomber. It's new. I think a good chance is we are sending someone a message or we're doing something with the. I mean, Russia just launched, you know, a hypersonic missile. It doesn't make sense that our government doesn't know what this is and can't stop it and doesn't see it as a danger. What makes sense is they're lying to us. They know what this is, and it's not extraterrestrial, and it's not any of that crap. What do you think?

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, well, so I don't disagree with the premise that you have here. One of the things that I will say is unique to this area and where all this is happening is we have a military installation called Picatinny Arsenal. And it's very important to Picatinny Arsenal that there's good community relations because, you know, we want to maintain that here. And it's a huge resource for the army where it's at. Any uncertainty about what's going on military wise around here is bad. Bad for them and bad for the future of Picatinny. So they have an incentive to over communicate when things are happening. And they often do that when they're doing testing. They over communicate. So in this area here, it's probably unlikely that there would be anything that the government would want to do that would cause, you know, public concern.

[Stu Burguiere]

So then what is your. What are you left with that makes sense to you the most?

[Pat Gray]

You know, to be honest, I'm not left with much. The only thing before I went to this briefing, I would have told you it's FedEx or UPS or Amazon testing out delivery capabilities of aircraft, you know, and they want to do it at night so as not to freak people out. But then, you know, by this point it's blown up so high, you would think somebody would say something. They would say, oh yeah, hey, it's us, chill out. But so I really, I really don't know. I'm legitimately concerned and I am not a conspiracy theorist. I'm not one that jumps to conclusions. But the fact that nobody knows and the people who are supposed to know give us no confidence.

[Stu Burguiere]

And you believe they don't know, you believe they don't know. Yeah, but.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, I do. And now could the CIA know? Maybe I wasn't briefed by them, but I believe the state Police and the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon do not know. I really do. And that's scary. It's old. It's equally as scary if I'm wrong and they do know and they're doing this to us, so.

[Stu Burguiere]

But that's the world we live in today.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

You know, it's always like, it could be this, which would mean Jesus is coming, but it could mean this, which would end with Jesus coming.

[Pat Gray]

Yeah, that's right, Glenn. But in this situation, this is the part that frustrates me. They can just figure it out. I know I told them, give me a platoon of men, a couple Apache helicopters, we'll follow these friggin things and we will, we will figure it out for you. Somebody can get this done. They're just choosing not to do it.

[Stu Burguiere]

I know somebody with an Apache, a private individual with an Apache helicopter.

[Pat Gray]

Well, let's get it over here. Glenn, I'm ready to go. A little rusty probably, but I think I can figure it out.

[Stu Burguiere]

They're probably listening right now. If you want to check in. We'll maybe line that up. Thank you so much.

[Pat Gray]

I love it.

[Stu Burguiere]

Appreciate it. God bless you, Brian.

[Pat Gray]

Thanks for having me.

[Stu Burguiere]

You bet. All right. More in just a second. New Year's right around the corner. Pretty soon 2024 will be in the rearview mirror. Thank God. Did you ever think we would make it to 2025? No. No, no. Do you think we'd ever make it to 2025 and be somewhat happy? Like, not like we're all gonna die? I didn't. Hey, this is great, guys. Enjoy it while it lasts, because aliens are off the coast of New Jersey. Wait a minute. I've already heard that broadcast from Orson Welles. That's what's happening. This is a very difficult thing to do to make a New Year's Eve resolution that you can keep. But most likely my New Year's resolution is we got to save some more money. I don't want to be in debt at all, if possible. And if you're using your credit cards and because you have to, I don't know how you do it. I really don't. Please call American Financing and find out what options are available to you, because there's probably many options you didn't even know you had. Some mortgage refinancing to other forms of debt consolidation, even accessing the high equity you have in your home to pay off the high interest debts. It's American Financing.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Have you seen that?

[Glenn Beck]

No. It was good.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay. I'm announcing this to my friend who I told I wasn't gonna see it beforehand, and my grandkids, who I said, I'm going to take them Saturday. So now I have to watch it three times. But it's. I'm glad. It is really good.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, good.

[Stu Burguiere]

Really really good. It's funny. It is. It's heartbreaking. I never heard of this book. I guess it was a book in the 70s.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I didn't know it was a book either. But it was a big book, apparently.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, huge. And it is done so well. It's really good. If it's still in theaters. I saw it on, I don't know, Netflix or something. I went and, you know, bought it for like, you can rent it for a dollar or. No, you can rent it for $712 or you can buy it now for $44. And you're like, well, 44 is a deal. So it's on the video.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, Netflix doesn't do that.

[Stu Burguiere]

So it must have been Video on Demand, Amazon or something. Yeah, but it was. It's really good. It's really, really good. And I think it's going to be. It felt a little like the Christmas Story, except I think done better. It's a better film than A Christmas Story. Really?

[Glenn Beck]

That's one of my all time favorite Christmas stories. Oh, I know. Now you have never been a huge Christmas Story fan.

[Stu Burguiere]

No, I haven't been. I haven't been. But so I say that because everyone.

[Glenn Beck]

Says, you look like Ralphie.

[Stu Burguiere]

I know.

[Glenn Beck]

Which is not an insult. He's adorable.

[Stu Burguiere]

No, he is adorable.

[Glenn Beck]

And he grew up to be an adorable adult.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

And that's you on the other hand.

[Stu Burguiere]

And that's a quick story I was told when I was in New York. I was told by my assistant. I was really slammed all the time. And she said so and so is coming in. You know him, he's. You played Ralphie. And I'm like, okay, why am I meeting with him? He just wants to say hello and so you can down. And I'm thinking, I'm walking to my office going, what am I going to talk to Ralphie about? You know, hey, that pink. And I sit down with him and I said, so what? What have you been doing lately? And he said, well, I just finished producing Iron Man. And I was like, oh, Ralphie, Ralphie. Oh, yeah, Ralphie, Ralphie. Okay, now the Iron Man. Ralphie. What an idiot. The Glenn Beck program. The left would like you to think that every woman who has an abortion magically gets happier and they go out and shout their abortion. But that is absolutely not true. The new numbers that are out are just shocking and horrifying and it's going to get worse as abortions just go into, you know, young girls bathrooms at home. The ministry of preborn is Fighting for moms who are deciding between life and death for their unborn child.

[Glenn Beck]

We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.

[Stu Burguiere]

Stand up straight and hold the light.

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin]

It's a new day.

[Glenn Beck]

I'll turn the ride.

[Stu Burguiere]

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It is Thursday, right? Oh, thank God. I started to say it, then I'm like, it's not Wednesday, is it? No, it's Thursday, baby. Tomorrow's Friday. We have an update on some of the things that they're doing in Washington, you know, just to subvert the national will. We'll tell you about that coming up in 60 seconds. First, really dumb criminals exist, lots of them. But even dumb criminals don't want to get caught. And they're often going to avoid the house that has a sign on the lawn for some home security company that goes double if the sign in question says the house is protected by SimpliSafe. That one not only stops the dumb criminals, but it stops the smart criminals as well, because they've done their homework. If you're on board with simply safe, your family and your property are the last thing any criminal wants to mess with because they have advanced home security and 247 monitoring plans for less than a dollar a day. And it's live guard protection, fast protect monitoring. Simplisafe can act on an alarm within five seconds, find the intruder, even talk to the intruder. They call police. The alarm is already alerted. Police. But it only matters in most cities now if you call and say, yes, there is trouble at the house, they do that. They can within five seconds. They're on it. Simplisafe is extending its massive Black Friday deal this week. Only you can get 50% off any new system with a select professional monitoring plan. This is your last chance to claim their best offer of the year. Head to simply simplisafe.com Beck. That's simplisafe.com Beck. There is no safe like Simplisafe. So every day I get a newsletter, the Beltway Brief, from theblaze.com/bedford. That's how you can sign up for it. But Christopher Bedford is the writer of the Beltway Brief and he is our Washington correspondent and he is up on things. He wrote a story Today about Mitch McConnell and his secret war on Trump. This is not going to improve your mood much, but this is why these, this is why the deep state is not just on the left, it's on the right, too. This guy is the most, I think he has the highest disapproval rating or disgust rating of any Senator. It's Mitch McConnell. Chris is on the phone with us now. Chris, welcome.

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin]

It's great to be here.

[Stu Burguiere]

Thank you. Okay, tell everybody the story.

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin]

Absolutely. So Mitch McConnell is obviously a well known figure. He's the least popular senator in the entire country. But he's also been the longest serving leader in the Senate of any party. And he's technically given up that title to John Thune, someone who was a longtime loyalist to McConnell. But he's sticking around. And he's not just sticking around in the peripherals. He's not just on the sidelines because he wants to finish out his term with the Democratic governor. It's because he still has a lot of power. He's, he's going to be getting in charge of the influential Senate Rules Committee. He's going to be in charge of Senate defense appropriations. And over the last month, literally since Donald Trump's resounding win, his national vote win, his win that put him in the pantheon along with Reagan and Nixon for real massive comebacks and real ability to get there. He's already been publicly attacking Donald Trump. He went to the AEI dinner. Just a bunch of neoconservatives and kind of part of the old right. He went there just a week after the election and announced his intention to stand athwart Donald Trump's foreign policy and a populist reimagining of what's really been a failed foreign policy for the United States for the last 30 years. He gave an interview that came out yesterday saying that he's going to try and do everything he can to keep this, the money flowing towards the wars abroad, Ukraine, Syria, the Middle east, which is against what the people just voted for. But he, he's a shadow operator. He's not someone who needs the limelight. He's not one of those people who chases the camera. So over the last couple months and years, oftentimes you'd see other senators come forward with his fingerprints all over it. The latest is Joni Ernst. She's a longtime McConnell loyalist who's coming out and she's trying to undermine Donald Trump. She's taken a step back since then because of the massive blowback that she got. But McConnell's fingerprints were all over that and other Republican resistance to trying to stop Donald Trump from getting his own appointees.

[Stu Burguiere]

So how do you see this playing out so far?

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin]

Usually McConnell, he's only become so powerful because he wins. You'd see an example of this when Tommy Tuberville made his brave stand against the Department of Defense and said they had to end their illegal abortion rules or he wasn't going to confirm any generals, he was attacked by all these different Republicans. The person who orchestrated that was Mitch McConnell, who eventually won. But he has been taking a bruising recently, too. For example, he was the one who's behind James Lankford's Senate bill, which was a complete disaster, to try and give amnesty and work with Democrats on processing more border crossings. When that went down, you see McConnell just kind of slither away. He's not really in the headlines. He even actually voted against the bill. He stabbed Langford in the back.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, my gosh. This guy's a dirtbag.

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin]

It's wild. He never gave up anyone who wasn't going down, as they say in the Departed. Now you see Joni Ernst kind of flipping in the wind here. She's in trouble. She's retreating. And you see McConnell kind of slithering away, but at the same time, he's giving these speeches saying he's intending to still be a stick in the mud, and it's not the House of Representatives. One powerful senator can really hold up the Trump administration. So it's going to come down to a battle of wills. If he decides to stick it out and actually really go at him, it's going to pit John thune against Mitch McConnell or it's going to put him in Donald Trump's crosshairs.

[Stu Burguiere]

Good luck with that.

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin]

It's going to become a real battle for who controls Washington, D.C. long after the election's over.

[Stu Burguiere]

What do you think of the idea Mike Lee floated this, and I think it's brilliant what John Adams did when he was Vice president. He just, he went in and whoever's in the seat, whoever's the highest seated person is in charge of the Senate and the Vice President, you know, is a tie breaking vote. But he can do much more than that. He can actually take control of the Senate. If Donald Trump starts having problems like this, why wouldn't, why wouldn't he just send over a very capable Vice president and just say, here's our agenda, here's what we're doing, here's what, here's what's happening. Why wouldn't he do that?

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin]

I think he ought to. I think that'd be a really great role for Senator Vance. I mean, now Vice President Elect Vance, he only spent a few short years in Washington D.C. but he had an extremely capable team. He worked really hard and in that time he was willing to butt heads with Republicans, willing to butt heads with Democrats, and had an impact on that chamber, which you don't usually see in the first few years of someone who's new to Washington Senate career. He could come back and he could really wreck that sort of thing. I mean, his deputy Chief of staff, James Brad, ended up becoming the Director for Legislative affairs for Donald Trump. That's a good move. This is the kind of guy who doesn't just listen to politics. He also reads the books. He's reading LBJ's history of the Senate, he's digging through the rules, he's digging through the history. People who actually know how to try and get things done there. You don't want. J.D. vance is going to end up having a pretty big portfolio. It seems they're going to have a lot of responsibilities, more than maybe you always see with the Vice President. So he may be a little busy, but he's certainly got some capable folks and he's able to get in there.

[Stu Burguiere]

But even if you don't, even if you don't take it over forever, even if you just go in at the beginning, if they start to slow down, Donald Trump has to have his appointments, has to have them quickly and he has to get his agenda done in the first hundred days. Or they are going to, they're going to, they will stop this any way they can. He needs the Republicans at the beginning, at least for the first hundred days to move and move quickly. That was the secret of the Obama administration.

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin]

That was, and this is really the time he's got to do it. This is why you see them right now, they're kind of arguing about how to approach this. You've got January when everyone's going to come back to town, get to work. And there are some Republicans who are trying to attach basically a whole litany of what the Senate and the House wants to the early legislation. You see Jason Smith, for example, he's trying to add tax reform to Donald Trump's early agenda. And you see in the Trump team saying, heck, no, we don't want to bog this down with tax. We want to do tax reform. But you can do that next. The first step is the Trump administration's promise to the American people. It's a border bill, it's an immigration bill, it's a deportation bill. That's what we want. And we want our nominees across the board. And we don't want to mess around with that at all. But the people in Congress and the people in the Senate, they don't really like to listen that much to the will of the American people. So it is going to come down a little bit to a battle of wills, and it's also going to come down to how hard President Trump really wants to work on this. An engaged president who really cares about Capitol Hill and is willing to navigate it can get a huge amount done. The ability for Trump to pick up that phone, the ability of Trump to send that tweet, to rattle that saber, to actually be engaged, that's going to be kind of key here.

[Stu Burguiere]

So give me the carrot that can be used, especially with McConnell and the stick.

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin]

So McConnell's big thing is his legacy and his foreign policy legacy. He's trying to tie Donald Trump's hands on Ukraine. He's trying to tie Donald Trump's hands in the Middle East. And I don't know if there's many carrots that are really going to move him right now. He's too advanced in his career. He's obviously nearing the end of his career, but there's certainly a stick and McConnell. I'm going to write about this further for next week, but McConnell operates a massive influence network in Washington, D.C. a patronage network where his people are hired all over town. Just mid level staffers don't need to be in charge. They have access to the money, they have access to the lobbyists, they have access to the power. Really crush an influence machine in D.C. you need to ban those people. You need to stop that. You need to stop the hiring. You need to say, we're not going to work with firms or hire these people. We're not going to hire those people. And you're going to have to push people like John Thune to stand out and stand apart from McConnell and show that they're their own man.

[Stu Burguiere]

Donald Trump will certainly have the will to do that. Can. Can he just make the. Can he just poison that? Well, if he has to.

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin]

I think if he has to. Right now, this people are holding their fire. They're waiting. McConnell sent out a couple of smoke signals and warnings saying he intends to do this. But at the same time, when you read the interviews about Pete Hagstaff, you read the interviews about Tulsi Gabbard, you see no interview or you see no mention of Mitch McConnell because he's kept quiet. He's not done taking the meetings. But the end of the day, everyone's waiting to see is the old man going to try and burn it all down? And if that's the case, I think you'll start to see open war.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, I have. You spent much time with the president lately, Chris? President Elect?

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin]

Not since his election.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. He is a different man and he is dead serious. He knows now, unlike his first term, he knows where the bodies are buried. He knows his friends, his enemies. He knows what he wants to accomplish. And he has boned up on how Washington works. He's not going to take no for an answer. He will just slash and burn to get things done because he knows. He's told me a million times, I have 100 days to get the big stuff done or it ain't gonna get done.

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin]

You know, I think that we are fortunate as a country that he lost that last election and he came out now.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yes.

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin]

The way he, the team he has around him, the seriousness of which they're approaching this, the mandate from the American people, the respect of the global leaders, the dream team he's pulled together, all of it combined for what could be an absolutely historic lifetime presidency.

[Stu Burguiere]

I have to tell you, from here on out, I'm just. When something doesn't go my way or our way for politics, I will always look to 2020, because we wouldn't even have known how deep the infection was had Biden and Harris not gotten in. We wouldn't have seen how close they were and what perversion they were planning for our country. We are so blessed. He didn't win in 2020.

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin]

Absolutely. The enemy's laid bare and it's a good time to. It's a good time to be winning again. Just in time for the Christmas holidays.

[Glenn Beck]

Maybe it's much too early in the game.

[Stu Burguiere]

But I thought I'd ask you just the same.

[Glenn Beck]

What are you doing New year?

[Stu Burguiere]

My daughter recorded this and she said to me afterwards, it's kind of weird, dad, because I've never, I've never had a date on New Year's Eve. You know, it's kind of like you've been my date on New Year's eve. But I'm 18. This is gonna be like I'm, I'm gonna be having. And I said, no, you're not. You're gonna be at the ranch and you're gonna be at home and you're gonna to be in bed. And I will, I will tape anything. I'll tape the fireworks so you can get up early in the morning. I don't care if it's 4 o'clock. When you used to get up when you were 4 years old, you're going to bed early, sister. But it was, it was. There's a couple of songs on this that are so just Kind of heartbreaking as a dad, because you know, it. Take when she. She did I'll Be Home for Christmas. She's like, dad, this is the last year that I'm guaranteed to be home for Christmas. And I'm like, you're breaking my heart. What are you doing to me? You're just killing me.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, she said that. I saw. She did a news, like an interview in a local news station here in Dallas.

[Stu Burguiere]

It was so great. It was so great. The news reporter had no idea who her dad was.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, really?

[Stu Burguiere]

She did it here? And my name's all over the building. And the reporter comes in and does the whole thing. Doesn't ask a single question. And then Cheyenne said, I'd have to ask my dad that, but he's right on the hall. Let me get him. She said, wait, wait, what's your dad's name again? And she and Cheyenne went, glenn Beck. And she went, glenn Beck. Glenn Beck. Okay, I got it. She had no idea.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, cool.

[Stu Burguiere]

It was so cool.

[Glenn Beck]

Because it's about her. Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

There's nothing in it about me.

[Glenn Beck]

It's not like her dad noted racist Glenn Beck. It wasn't like that at all, which is shocking. But she mentioned that about how it was her last Christmas home. I can't even think about considering. Oh, my God, what that moment's like. I don't ever want it to come with my daughter, but it's really. It's nice. She said the same thing. She said something similar in her live performance about the New Year's Eve song, which is about a date. And she's like, this is weird to sing.

[Stu Burguiere]

I've never had a date.

[Glenn Beck]

I've never had a date on New Year's Eve. It's funny to watch her do this. And. And the other thing that's really funny about this is how it's inspired America to come together to listen to her album over and over again. To force you to do a duet of Lizzo's song Where To Hell My Phone. And that's, of course, coming very. I think maybe in the new year very, very soon you're going to be recording this.

[Stu Burguiere]

I hope next week I can, because we're going to be in Nashville. And you hope.

[Glenn Beck]

Wait, I don't know. You hope you're contractually obligated to the audience.

[Stu Burguiere]

I know I am. I'll get it done.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay.

[Stu Burguiere]

But I just want to show you play a little bit. I mean, can you. I mean, it is. Stu's been working on this, and I'm like, how Are you possibly going to make Where To Hell My Phone into anything singable? This is going to be hysterical.

[Glenn Beck]

Do you have the one without. Without the reference track? We could play a little bit of it.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is hysterical. Remember, Lizzo is where the hell my.

[Glenn Beck]

Fuck it starts out. It has some of the similar beginnings trappings of the original. I remember this.

[Stu Burguiere]

This way to help my phone. This is gonna be great.

[Glenn Beck]

You're gonna nail this.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, I'm gonna. I'm gonna have a great time doing this. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, my gosh. And again, Just lose her mind.

[Glenn Beck]

I think she'll like it. I think she'll like it.

[Stu Burguiere]

Do you?

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, yeah. She might actually start performing it this way in concert, I think when it's all over.

[Stu Burguiere]

With a little bluegrass band.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, that would be great. So we're. I'm looking forward to that. As much as I love your daughter's Christmas album.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, this is going to be.

[Glenn Beck]

You hear that singing there, Sarah?

[Stu Burguiere]

No, it's not going to sound like that.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, it is going to sound just like that. It's gonna be Glenn. And are you gonna have Cheyenne on it a little bit? Like, may she do something?

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, no, she. No, no, no. That was the deal she has to do.

[Glenn Beck]

It is a deal.

[Stu Burguiere]

She's like, dad. I mean, how is he gonna. Now I know how he. Yeah, I know. Thank you, Stu. Now I know how it's gonna work. She might have to play the where the hell my phone, where the hell my phone part. You know what I mean?

[Glenn Beck]

I don't know. I mean, I think her wonderful voice will help you at times, but I feel like I do want to hear you suffer through every one of those horrible lyrics.

[Stu Burguiere]

This will be fantastic. It might have to wait until to be. I mean, I'll produce it as fast as I can.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, of course.

[Stu Burguiere]

But it might have to wait because of the holidays until January. Now I'm excited. Now I can't wait.

[Rabbi Daniel Lapin]

Stand up, Glenn Beck.

[Stu Burguiere]

[Stu Burguiere]

Welcome to the program. We're glad you're here. Earlier today in our number one of the podcast, we were talking about the killer who will remain nameless forever on this program, the killer of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. And I referenced a conversation I had years ago with Rabbi Daniel Lapin about the mixing of sex and death and how bad that is and how uncomfortable that makes you. I mean, should make you, you know, like if you're watching a movie and it's sexual and they're killing one of them, there's, it's just, that's super, super bad. And he told me, and I can't, I can't remember for the life of me that there is something in the Torah or the Ten Commandments or, I don't know, Tim's rule of thumb, something bigger than that probably that specifically talks about it. I can't remember it. And I think it's important because we are, that's what's happening. This is an actual blood lust. People are lusting after the blood and they're also drooling over the killer's abs. It is really a sick, sick sign of our society. Rabbi Daniel Lapin joins us now. Rabbi, how are you, Glenn?

[Christopher Bedford]

Wonderful, thank you. But, you know, you fill me with a deep sense of responsibility and fear when I converse with you, knowing that years and years and years later you're.

[Stu Burguiere]

Going to remember it well and butcher it so that, yeah, he was not.

[Glenn Beck]

Even close to the actual point. Rabbi, you should understand, he, he attempted to remember it, but not that way.

[Stu Burguiere]

I remembered that there is something the Lord has said that says that's a really bad thing. But I can't remember the rest of it and I don't drink, so it's bad.

[Christopher Bedford]

Depending on wherever anybody fits on the secular religious spectrum. And so, so regardless of whether you want to say that as a result of evolutionary biology or if you want to say as a result of how God created us. We human beings do not do well with step functions. We do better with gradual gradients, by which I mean to say that any sudden change between extremes doesn't do well for us. Going from very hot to very cold isn't good for our bodies. Men generally suffer heart issues if they go from sitting behind a desk every day to very strenuous exercise or people who sort of spend a lifetime, very, very serious exercise and then sit around doing nothing. We don't do well with what I call step function. Sudden changes between extremes, conditions and circumstances. And this is true for our bodies. This is also true for the more spiritual side of us. The psychological, the psychosomatic, the psychiatric, the inner part of us. And there can hardly be any greater contrasts than between life and death. Impossible. I mean, those are the ultimate contrasts of life. It's an even more profound contrast. Darkness and light.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right.

[Christopher Bedford]

And so obviously, there again, a step function doesn't do well when we experience that.

[Stu Burguiere]

Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on just a second, Stu. I don't even think he remembers because he never said any of this. Oh, yeah, it was all about Bible stuff.

[Glenn Beck]

How do you know he didn't say it if you can't remember it?

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, I remember because I remember the step function thing. I'd remember that. That's easy. Do you remember we were talking about. We were talking about the old biblical rituals and that were not biblical. They were BAAL and Moloch and it was the time of Occupy Wall street. And we talked about the smearing of human feces on things.

[Christopher Bedford]

Fecal assault.

[Stu Burguiere]

Correct. Which you said was part of that. And then we got to sex and death somehow or another.

[Christopher Bedford]

Right, right.

[Stu Burguiere]

So can you remember?

[Christopher Bedford]

Sex is the ultimate expression of life. Part of the. Part of its great appeal, part of why it's an almost irresistible instinct is because never do we feel more alive than during those moments.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. And it's the only time we partner with the Creator.

[Christopher Bedford]

Yeah. It's also very interesting that although the specialists assured us during the 80s that having a vasectomy would not make any difference whatsoever to the sensation, sex will still be as euphoric and as thrilling as it always was. All that'll be. You don't even have to worry about the possibility of conception. And Norman Mailer was one of the first people who alerted me to the intrinsic falsehood of that statement, the fact is that when the potential for life is utterly eliminated, it actually does make a huge difference. Because part of the thrill of sex is, again, spiritual, psychological, it's inside of us. It's not just a case of friction on nerves. It's more than a spasm in the spinal column. And when the possibility of life is removed, then it really, really does make a difference. One of the reasons so many people have been rushing to try and have vasectomy reversals, not that they necessarily want children, but they've sensed how, what a dramatic, distressing, diminishing it is of the entire experience. Because it is a life affirming experience. The last thing you want to do is make that completely out of the question and impossible.

[Stu Burguiere]

Go ahead.

[Christopher Bedford]

Yeah. And so for that reason, it's also important to recognize that in menstruation, what is actually happening is the death of an egg, if you like. It's the elimination of a tiny little possible potential of life. And so for a sensitive woman, to a woman to feel a little bit down at the time of her period, it makes perfect sense. Of course, a sensitive woman will feel that. Who wouldn't feel it at the one tiny little possibility of life has now gone. It's not a big tragedy or anything, but for sensitive people, it's a reality. And so.

[Stu Burguiere]

And while you may not think that you're saying we're naturally built to, I mean, we, our bodies understand that.

[Christopher Bedford]

That's so beautiful. If I was in studio, I'd get up and come and give you a big hug. That's so nice. Yeah. So nicely put. Exactly. Exactly. Right. And so one of the reasons that the Torah prohibits sex during menstruation, it's very simply, once again, you are trying to bring together life, the ultimate of life, with a little bit of debt. Doesn't go those we don't do well. It's one of the reasons the Torah prohibits raising the dead and spiritual and talking to dead people. It doesn't say it's impossible. It says don't do it. Because life and death in close proximity to one another just don't do well. So husbands and wives, when one of them loses a parent and are in mourning, they don't have sex. Well, obviously. What sort of insensitive person would want to have sex at a time like that?

[Stu Burguiere]

Right? Well, I just know that when my wife is like this, I am like this. We will turn off a movie so fast or walk out of a movie so fast. When there's anything where somebody is getting some sort of sexual gratification out of killing someone, it just seems like one of the most evil things you can. I don't know why, but it just.

[Christopher Bedford]

Does well, it's in essence the ultimate of masculinity in these so called enlightened times in which we live. We may not want to acknowledge this, we may not want to confront the reality, but the ultimate of masculinity is exactly that. It is sex and violence and the masculine instinct to defend his woman and his family and his children that is an essential part of masculinity. So when you take away the ennobling cultural context of virtue and family and structure, what you left with is gangsterism, which is again, focused on violence and sex.

[Stu Burguiere]

Wow. Rabbi, go ahead.

[Christopher Bedford]

No, I was just going to say that Shakespeare himself put it so absolutely beautifully in his play the Winter's Tale, where Shakespeare in Act 3, he has the shepherd. And I'm going to just say the words because they're so beautiful. Shakespeare says that teenage boys, you really do nothing but getting girls pregnant and stealing and fighting. And Shakespeare says, I would there were no age between 16 and 3 and 20, or that youth would sleep out the rest. For there is nothing in between but getting wenches with child, wronging the ancient tree, stealing and fighting. So, you know, by the contrast. Yeah, sorry, go ahead.

[Stu Burguiere]

No, I was just going to say thank you for that. And I've always wanted to be a guy that could quote, you know, Shakespeare or even Dr. Seuss, quite honestly, never been able to do it, but especially when you do it with an English accent, you know, you just sound better, you sound smarter, and you are smarter than the rest of the.

[Christopher Bedford]

If I lose my accent, we'll starve to death.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. Thank you so much, Rabbi.

[Christopher Bedford]

Lovely seeing you.

[Stu Burguiere]

Bye bye. Rabbi Daniel Lapin. And that's even a South African. And I count that as English. I don't know about anybody else, but I count that as English quoting Shakespeare. You know, it's like Shakespeare said in whatever that story was that he just said. I'm like, oh, yeah, I remember that.

[Glenn Beck]

We're high culture here.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

On the Glenn Beck program, we're known for it. Get a 13 part series on whatever that was from Shakespeare coming up next week.

[Stu Burguiere]

All right, back in just a minute. Your dog doesn't know the difference between healthy and unhealthy food, but his body does. And when you're feeding him dry kibble food, for instance, it's telling him everything he's eating is dead. Because kibble food has to be sterilized for a long shelf life. Ever seen those things where you could put a McDonald's hamburger up on a windowsill for, I don't know, two years? And it's fine. I mean, I wouldn't eat it, but nothing happened to it. Yeah, that's kibble food. Why are we pouring that into our dog's bowl? Why would we do that? It's dead food. Now, this is something that you sprinkle on that food that you already have. It's vitamins, probiotics, enzymes, omega oils, antioxidants, everything that will help your dog's digestion. Energy. And you'll have fewer vet bills. Your dog will be happier. You, you will not believe the difference in your dog or your cat. Now, I don't know, but they make meow greens as well as rough greens. Now, they're going to give you a Jumpstart trial bag.

Time magazine's Person of the Year is Donald Trump. Of course, the story's not going to be positive, but he is dealing with the shadow government, the actual shadow cabinet. I talked about it on my show last night and at 6 tonight, it's on YouTube, on my YouTube channel. Here's a clip of it. Now. The progressives are actually making the shadows their main selling point. I give you the distinguished moron from North Carolina. Last week's done. As Democrats, we simply failed to convince the American people we have better ideas to solve their problems. But we do now. We need to dust ourselves off and get ready to fight. We can't let Donald Trump's extreme MAGA agenda go unanswered or unopposed. Zone defense isn't going to work. We're going to have to go man on man. So here's an idea for how to organize our opposition. We need to borrow from our British friends and appoint a shadow cabinet to fight back against the worst abuses of a second Trump administration. I find this amazing. Absolutely incredible and amazing. What deep state? How dare you say there's a deep state? He's crazy for saying a deep state. Then they go in and say, we're going to create a deep state. They start with, okay, we failed to convince the American people that we have better ideas. But just like every good progressive and heart in the deep state would say but we know better. We do have better ideas. So we're going to put them in anyway. I don't know. That seems a little wrong, doesn't it? And then my favorite is, and look, our British friends do it. Those are the people we had a war with to be, not like anymore. Okay, so the plan now is for the Deep State to take all of those bad ideas that lost in the election and push them through the deep state. And then he went on to publicly name all the new capos in this criminal organization. I'm sorry, my wife, who is Italian and probably in the mob, would be ashamed of me. Is it kapos or capos? I don't. Doesn't matter. The mob doesn't exist. And if it did, I love them. Everyone from Adam Schiff, Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, all on this list. But Nickel, the moron from North Carolina claims a deep state or shadow government, which is totally different, is nothing to worry about. After all our cousins from the UK to it. I want you to take a look at His Majesty's official opposition shadow cabinet directly on their website. This is their government website. The shadow cabinet. There's nothing hidden there. This is the way they do it. That's not the way we do it. Remember the war? I think we had a couple of them. Okay. It's presented as an alternative government in waiting. But see, when you have a parliamentary system where coalitions are being built and then they scheme and then everybody manipulates each other, it might make a little more sense. Because you can call an election at any time, but we don't have that system. We don't call elections whenever we want. We have a constitutional republic with checks and balances. The founders could have made our system like England's, but they didn't. Why? Because they said it sucked. Have you read the Declaration of Independence? So what he's proposing here, out in the open on the official record, would be the American version of the UK's shadow cabinet by naming the top down elected agents that secretly will run our country through the administrative Deep State. Because they lost. Because they couldn't convince you that those were good ideas. But they know better. Oh my gosh, the Glenn Beck program.
