Overview

This episode of The Glenn Beck Program focuses primarily on breaking stories related to government fraud—specifically massive, systemic fraud in the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare") uncovered by a new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report. The episode also covers the related failures of governmental accountability, the moral and cultural crises facing the U.S., and the implications of unchecked immigration and “political Islam” in American society. The show features thought-provoking conversations with conservative commentators Allie Beth Stuckey and investigative journalist Christopher Rufo, who discuss the political, social, and cultural consequences of these developments.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Breaking News: Pipe Bomb Arrest Update

[04:23–09:15]

• The FBI has arrested a suspect related to the pipe bombs found near DNC and RNC headquarters on Jan 5, 2021, before the January 6th Capitol events.
• The arrest came from a review of existing evidence (video, tips, etc.), not new physical evidence.
• Motive: Linked to "anarchist ideology."
• Glenn and his team express skepticism about the lack of information after years of investigation:
  • Jason Buttrill: “There were text messages from Secret Service agents that suddenly got deleted. All these things that were coincidences... it just seems weird.” [07:47]

2. The Obamacare Fraud Scandal (GAO Report)

[10:24–39:02, 45:02–45:14+]

• Glenn delivers a passionate exposé on fresh findings from the GAO showing that fraudulent applications—using fake or deceased people's identities—were routinely approved for Obamacare subsidies.

• Stats from GAO:

  • 100% of fictitious applications submitted were approved.
  • 66,000 Social Security numbers received subsidies but didn’t match living people.
  • 58,000 matched Social Security death records.
  • One fake SSN earned "the equivalent of 71 years’ coverage in one year."
  • 6 million people allegedly miscategorized in income brackets to qualify for credits.
  • In some states, 3–4x as many enrollees as eligible people for low-income zero-premium plans.
  • Estimated $27–30 billion in pandemic-era Obamacare fraud alone.

• Historical Pattern:

  • Jason points out (and Glenn agrees) that GAO published identical findings of fraud in 2015–16, with no meaningful reform or prosecution since.
    • “Why does the GAO even bother doing these? Because no one acts on them.” —Jason Buttrill [29:16]

• Accountability & Outrage:

  • Glenn denounces both parties: government knows and blames each other, but no one is prosecuted.
    • "If I don't start seeing people go to jail ... I'm going to start coming after Pam Bondi and the DOJ." [13:36]
    • "A system that approves 100% of fake applicants is not helping people. It's feeding itself." [21:35]
    • "This is moral rot disguised as compassion. It's a system that can't tell a citizen from a corpse." [21:25]

• Design or Incompetence?

  • Glenn questions whether the system's failure is intentional to protect political machines:
    • “Is this incompetence or is this the design? Because I don’t think it’s incompetence… Overwhelm the system... collapse the system. We know that’s a plan.” [21:59–22:28]

3. Political Islam and Cultural Change in America

[45:14–87:02, 87:17–106:47]

a) Danger of Political Islam & “No-Go Zones”

• Glenn lays out the difference between "religious" and "political" Islam, emphasizing that political Islam is not a fringe but seeks societal domination, comparing its ambitions to those of communism.
  • “It’s not radical Islam. It’s political Islam... It’s a political philosophy. And that philosophy... wants to dominate the world.” [49:33]
• Interviews and audio clips of Muslim community leaders show attempts to create exclusive Muslim enclaves through association fees benefiting mosques; the law is allegedly manipulated to discourage non-Muslim residents.
• Historical reference: Glenn describes first-hand experience with imams defending Sharia punishments and asserting their compatibility with justice—though they deny intent to impose them in the U.S.
• He warns that ignoring these developments (such as secretive or exclusive communities) may lead to “no-go zones” and parallel legal systems incompatible with American values.

b) Special Conversation with Allie Beth Stuckey (Relatable, Blaze TV Host)

[87:17–102:06]

• Allie discusses increasing grassroots awareness and anxiety about the “Islamification” of American and Western society.
• She notes that while she and Glenn don’t oppose private religious practices (halal/kosher, etc.), public accommodation policies (e.g., only halal food at public schools) can be culturally exclusionary.
• Notable quote:
  “The number one answer, over and over again [from my followers], was the spread of Islamic dominance... This is very destabilizing. People are seeing it affect their own neighborhoods and their own schools.” —Allie Beth Stuckey [91:42]
• Allie argues it’s partly “toxic empathy” (the compulsion to appear endlessly tolerant), but Glenn insists that much of the political class’s motivation is purely about securing electoral blocs.
• Both agree that the cultural shift has moved beyond mere empathy into “medical-assisted suicide for the country”—politicians knowingly choose their power over their nation’s survival.
• Stuckey: “People feel so strongly that being exclusive or intolerant in any way is a sign of being a bad person... The social incentive in the immediate is to be as progressive as possible.” [97:00]

4. Minnesota Al Shabaab Scandal & Systemic Welfare Fraud

[109:36–124:21]

Guest: Christopher Rufo (Investigative Journalist)

• Recently uncovered: Minnesota taxpayer money stolen through fraudulent non-profits was laundered through Somali communities and remittance systems, with much of it ultimately benefiting terrorist group Al Shabaab.
• Glenn expresses shock at the lack of apparent outrage from Minnesota’s population or political establishment, despite a billion dollars being defrauded.
• Rufo explains:
  • The scale is systemic and involves a “very high percentage” of Somali community members participating.
  • Both politicians and community leaders have actively deflected criticism, framing it as an attack on their entire community and working to silence whistleblowers.
    • “You have the mayor of Minneapolis speaking in Somali, saying that he's going to... do whatever he can to shelter the Somali community from any criticism at all. I just find this borderline suicidal.” —Christopher Rufo [112:23]
  • Immigration policy is largely at fault: asylum and refugee policy has imported entire communities (not just individuals) with incompatible cultural norms, including a normalization of government fraud.
  • Rufo asserts that in the absence of local accountability, the federal government should suspend welfare payments to Minnesota until systemic fraud is audited and fixed.
  • Glenn: "This is likely the largest systematic welfare fraud scheme in American history. Thus making it probably the world." [123:49–124:12]

5. Moral & Political Decay: National Reflection & the Role of AI in Civic Education

[67:36–82:03]

• Glenn unveils “George AI,” an interactive AI librarian built on original American founding documents, designed to answer modern questions as the Founders would have, and present civics lessons in conversational, accessible language for all ages.
• In a sample dialogue, “George AI” (as Washington) warns that America’s greatest danger is moral decay, not external foes:
  • "America's biggest problem isn't political or economic. It's all moral. You've drifted from the virtues that make liberty possible in the first place..." —George AI [74:26]
• The tool and its curriculum aim to counteract public ignorance and dependence fostered by government largesse and cultural disempowerment.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “[Regarding the Obamacare fraud:] Every single one that was fake was approved. …a napkin…for a Social Security number pulled out of a fortune cookie, and the federal government would have said, ‘You gotta send this guy a check.’” —Glenn Beck [11:34]
• “This is not a glitch. This is not a clerical error. This is massive fraud. Once again, systemic failure. Engineered by design, protected by politicians and politics, funded by your sweat.” —Glenn Beck [12:21]
• “A system that approves 100% of fake applicants is not helping people. It's feeding itself. A system that rewards fraud while punishing honesty stops being a safety net and becomes a trap.” —Glenn Beck [21:35]
• “It’s not radical Islam. …It’s political Islam. It’s not radical. It’s what happens all over the world. …It’s a political philosophy. And that philosophy, just like communism, wants to dominate the world.” —Glenn Beck [49:33]
• "The lesson there is that secularism doesn't hold. ...People are looking for meaning and eventually ideology and one religion will win. And right now, Islam in a lot of countries is winning." —Allie Beth Stuckey [95:06]
• "You're outraged about the proper thing to be outraged about...But Minnesota politicians are also outraged. But they're outraged that we've noticed this…" —Christopher Rufo [112:23]
• “Any imposition of limits or consequences is seen as a violation of core liberal principles…they measure how compassionate can they be. And…no amount of chaos, corruption, crime…can dissuade them from their core beliefs that our society is bad.” —Christopher Rufo [117:09, summarized]

Tone, Style, and Approach

• Glenn Beck maintains his signature direct, emotional, and highly rhetorical style, mixing humor (“bull crap, man”) with righteous anger and patriotic appeals.
• Frequent references are made to readers/listeners as “America,” inviting communal outrage and action.
• Discussions are frank, uncensored, and skeptical regarding both major parties and all levels of bureaucracy.
• Guests Allie Beth Stuckey and Christopher Rufo reinforce these themes with nuanced, well-articulated points and moral clarity.

Conclusion

This episode serves as an alarm bell on twin themes: the scale and persistence of government-aided fraud (specifically in the context of Obamacare and refugee/immigration programs), and the dangers of political and moral complacency, especially regarding the cultural transformation underway in America. Beck and his guests challenge listeners to reject both toxic empathy and blind party allegiance, insisting that civic reform, accountability, and a return to foundational virtues are urgently needed.

All right, so we're just getting some information in. Just before we went on, the news has broke broken about the FBI. They have arrested a suspect in the case involving the pipe bombs left near the headquarters of the DNC and the Republican National Committee the night before January 6th. The bombs were placed on January 5th, 2021, sometime between 7:30 and 8:30pm One device near the DNC or near or on the park bench and another in an alley close to the rnc. The devices were diffused and did not detonate, but authorities now say that they were viable, meaning they had the potential to kill or injure people.

The evidence leading to the arrest does not appear to be coming from brand new physical clues, but rather from a fresh review of existing evidence, video footage, witness tips and other materials collected in 2021-2022. Officials reportedly linked the suspect to statements in support of anarchist ideology. That is, according to Ms. Now, the devices themselves were described to include threaded galvanized pipes about 1 to 8 inches, end caps, kitchen timers, wires, blah, blah, blah. Investigators have been working on this. I mean, I've talked to Dan Bongino off the air several times and he's like, Glenn, we are busting our ass on this and we just keep coming up dead end, dead end. He's like, we thought we had him. This was, I don't know, six months ago. He said, we thought we had him. And it fell apart at the last minute. So I don't know if this is the same guy who this is, but apparently homemade. Obviously they tried to track the bomb making components. You know, they tried analyzing the cell phone location, credit card data, you know, tracking shoe sales, honestly, because he wore distinctive sneakers. And so they were looking at who bought. Can you imagine that? I mean, that's something you couldn't have done a few years ago, tracking sneaker sales. They have not released a name yet of the suspect. Multiple sources say the person is a man from Virginia. That's one report that is saying that all of this stuff, we have no idea. You know, this is just the initial report, so we don't really know. No official charges have been publicly detailed yet. Some media saying that he is suspected of planting the bombs. But a formal charge sheet and criminal complaint has not been announced yet. At least that we are aware of at this point. Motive remains unclear, so we'll see. Jason Buttrill is with me in our studios in Florida. Hi, Jason.

[B]

Hey, Glenn.

[A]

So what are your thoughts on this?

[B]

Kind of strange. So CNN and the AP are the ones that are talking about this, reporting on it the most. CNN says they do not have an ID of the person yet from the FBI or the Justice Department. They know it seems to indicate this is not someone who is an insider, which is interesting. Apparently everyone seems to have an idea that there is a suspect, but no information at all on who the suspect actually is.

[A]

Why do you say that they're saying it's not an insider? Why did you say, that's interesting?

[B]

I, I mean, that seems to be where this has all been pointing. I mean, that's what everyone has suspected, that it was an insider, that it was an insider. But I mean, I mean, you talk about, you know, a few years ago we wouldn't have been able to track sneaker sales. I mean, I think about all the ways they could track. I think about every night. My wife will not be able to go to sleep without watching these, like, you know, true crime stories. And they're like, we found a paperclip. And the paperclip led us to this cctv. I mean, I'm like, what? I mean, there's cell phone, you know, information that we know that, you know, has been corrupted. We know that, you know, there were text messages from Secret Service agents that suddenly got deleted. All these things that were coincidences that just happened in a case like this, it just seems weird. I don't know. It's just one of the most oddest stories of the past five years that we have not gotten information on.

[A]

Really.

[C]

That's like the best way I can.

[A]

Put it.

Out of the encyclopedia of insanity. Here's one of the top. I, I would say this is top 30. I would say this is top five. This is top 30. But I mean, we're just dealing with so much. I, you know, I don't, I don't want to go into.

Commenting on it further than the information that we have. Right. You know, so far. I want to give the Justice Department the benefit of the doubt. I want to give everybody the, the benefit of the. I so want to believe in my country.

Help me believe. Help me help you. I so want to believe. But I'll believe it when I see all of the information. And maybe we'll have that by the end of the podcast today. We are going to keep our eyes locked on this story today because that is obviously going to become the big, big story, one of the other big stories. We're going to get into the Muslim thing here because there is so much breaking news on this. And that's a special we're doing tonight as well on what is, what is happening around the world and what is happening in America. And we've got a couple of experts. In fact, Chris Rufo is joining us on the show today. He's the guy who's broken a lot of this news and we're going to talk about that. But I also want to talk about the fraud that is going on because, I mean, there is a story going on right now.

That shows you what happens when a government grows so massive, so unaccountable, so convinced of its own benevolence, that it can no longer tell the difference between literally the living and the dead.

Now.

I want to preface this with I want to give everyone the benefit of the doubt here, but I'm not sure they deserve it. Let me give you the facts. We now have in black and white, a new Government Accountability Office report. It's not some blogger in the basement. You know, this is not me saying it. This is a gao and it shows that fake people, phony Social Security numbers, and even the dear departed were routinely approved for taxpayer funded Obamacare subsidies. Now, I emphasize the word routinely because what I Mean by that is 100% of the GAO's fictitious applications were approved.

100%. Every single one that was fake was approved. Okay, you could honestly, you could have taken a napkin and scribbled the words John Doe, totally real citizen, thrown some numbers up for a Social Security number that you pulled out of a fortune cookie, and the federal government would have said, you gotta send this guy a check because it says right here, he's a totally real citizen here. They would have sent tens of thousands of dollars to your insurance company to reward the fraud. Okay? This is not a glitch. This is not a clerical error. This is massive fraud. Once again, systemic failure.

Engineered by design, protected by politicians and politics, funded by your sweat. How long do you have to work every day to pay for just the fraud? I mean, it is getting to the point to where it's, it's obscene. And honestly, if I don't start seeing people go to jail, I said this, I'm going to start saying this every day here for, for the next couple of weeks. I said, at the beginning of the Trump administration and when they appointed Pam Bondi.

I'm not, I'm gonna give Pam all the room she needs for a year. Because you just don't throw prosecutions together, okay? But I have seen these investigations going on now for a year. I have seen these investigations going on in Congress for what, two years. It was happening during their, the last Trump administration, and it's happening now. I've seen Congress do all of these investigations. I haven't seen a single person go to jail.

What the hell are you spending my money on?

Are you just. Are you just chasing smoke? Because that's what it seems like, except you keep coming out and saying, oh, my gosh, look at this, look at this, look at this. But I never see a name attached to it. And that name also attached to an indictment. And I'm sorry, but on the year anniversary, I'm come, I'm going to start coming after Pam Bondi and the doj, because enough is enough. How much time do you need? There's obvious problems here on multiple fronts, not just this. And I am really happy to see the DOJ and everybody else come after, for instance, those who are guilty in Minnesota. I want to see jail time.

You've taken a billion dollars of the taxpayer's money and you have just given it away. And in many cases, two terrorists.

You've taken literally food out of the mouth of children. You have taken money that was supposed to go for kids with autism, and you've sent it over to Somalia, to Al Shabaab. I don't know. I think some people should go to jail. And I am not happy if it's just the people who are at the low end. I want to see the names that excused it, that covered it up. Because you don't, you don't get away with a billion dollar heist. And that, this is one. That's just one. You don't get away with these without protection of high above. Okay, so let me go back to what the GAO found here. This is not Minnesota. This is another case, okay? This is Obamacare.

Every fake Identity submitted in 2024 was approved. 18 out of 20 fake people were still getting subsidized coverage coverage the following year. So they got coverage the first year. They still were getting coverage the next year. One Social Security number, just one, was used for the equivalent of 71 years of coverage in one single year. So they got, they got coverage that you would, it would take you 71 years to be able to amass. They got it in one year. That's one Social Security number. 66,000 Social Security numbers received subsidies, didn't match a single living person. 66,000. 58,000 matched Social Security death records. So 66,000 didn't exist. 58,000 did exist, but they were now dead. God rest their souls. They didn't need health insurance. Okay. There's upwards of 6 million people who aren't actually within the income category that they're claiming credits, you know, as if they were in that income category. Yeah, I don't make enough money, so I should get this. Oh, really? Except you do make that amount of money. In certain states, there are three to four times as many people enrolled in 100 to 150% of the poverty rate in those $0 plans. There's three to four times as many people enrolled in those states that actually exist in those states. Three to four times. How do you make that error? How do you get. How does this happen? So these Covid credits have just produced upward of 27 to 30 billion billion in fraud. This is just in Obamacare. That's it. Oh, but this is going to reduce, this is going to reduce your payments. No, it didn't. In fact, now it's just pushing us deeper and deeper into debt, just in a different way than we projected. Okay. It's not about health care. This is about national survival or national suicide. Which do you choose? This is about a government program that is so unbelievably bloated, so politically insulated. That it has become impossible to distinguish fraud from function.

Hmm. But maybe that's the point. Is that possible? I'll take you there in 60 seconds. First realestate agentsitrust.com. there's a moment when every move in every move that you make, when you realize you're out of your depth. Okay, that could be, you know, anything. How about going to buy a car? Going to buy a house? I mean, I do not like buying cars. I don't like negotiating, and I. I don't know what I'm doing with the house and the markets and everything else. That's why I need a really great agent, A real estate agent that matters, that I can trust. That's why I started realestate agentsitrust.com they take the guesswork out of the process. They. We started with the 500 best real estate agents according to the Wall Street Journal in the country. I got to know them, I worked with them. I learned everything about them that I could. I asked them, what makes you different? What makes a good real estate agent. I learned that, and then we opened up Real Estate agents I trust dot com. We got those people to start, and then we started looking for more like them. These, what we were looking for are people with integrity, responsiveness, experience, actual success in the local market. And they know how the modern world works. So you're not rolling the dice. You need a good real estate agent. I want you to go to realestateagentsitrust.com again. This is my company. It's a free service to you. It's realestate agentsitrust.com. go there now. All right, back in 10 seconds.

Okay, America, you're being milked. You're being gamed and weaponized. And not by ordinary Americans, but by the architects of these programs. I'm convinced they expanded it, they insulated it, and they refused to put any kind of guardrails on it because, you know, it might undermine access.

[B]

Mm.

[A]

Was that really your motivation? Cuz that that translates to fraud is acceptable, you know, as long as it keeps the political machine alive. Okay, the Democrats removed all income caps because why shouldn't millionaires get subsidies? They insisted on zero premium plans because $0 always invites zero accountability. And when the Republicans said, hey, we should tighten this up a bit. How dare you stand in the way of progress. You just want to see children starve. Well, apparently they're going to starve in Minneapolis because you just built the kids and took their food programs. Took that for a billion dollars. You're going to stand in the way of progress. Progress for whom? Honestly, for whom? For the woman in Nebraska paying $1,800 a month for her premium in Obamacare? For the dad in Texas whose deductible is now higher than his mortgage? Is that. Is that progress?

Or was the progress actually for the insurance companies pocketing tens of billions in taxpayer money while Congress argues about who's compassionate and who's not?

This is moral rot disguised as compassion. It's a system that can't tell a citizen from a corpse.

And they pretend to care about the vulnerable. How? How. How do you even know who's vulnerable? That person's dead. They're not vulnerable anymore. A system that approves 100% of fake applicants is not helping people. It's feeding itself. A system that rewards fraud while punishing honesty stops being a safety net and becomes a trap. One we built, one we funded, and ones they refused to dismantle or even look at. And here's the real danger. When a government becomes this incompetent, when bureaucracy becomes this unaccountable, when trillions of dollars are moving through systems that nobody is monitoring, fraud's not the exception. Fraud becomes the operating model. And we are seeing this time and time again. We're funding our own destruction. And the real question that we should be asking here is this incompetence or is this the design? Because I don't think it's incompetence. I don't. We have seen it over and over again. Your tax dollars going to NGOs that are using that money, your tax dollars to dismantle our country or create a color revolution. And quite honestly, if it's not a color revolution, perhaps it's just simply cloud and piven. Overwhelm the system. Force that system to pay out as much as it can so you can collapse the system. We know that's a plan. We know that's a plan the Democrats have adopted. Why aren't we talking about this? Why are we just talking about fraud at the local level? Why aren't we looking at what the real motivation was and getting the real bad guys? Glenn Beck. More in just a second. First, let me tell you about pre born. There are moments in life when you feel the weight of the world a little more than usual. When the news is heavy, the culture feels cold, and you wonder whether one person can really make a difference. I think about that all the time. Am I making a difference? I know you feel the same way. I don't feel like I'm Making a difference. Well, you can, but sometimes you don't see it. Right now, there is a woman in a parking lot, and she is deciding, what am I going to do about this baby? Nobody in my life wants me to carry this baby. Everybody's telling me to go get an abortion, and I have no way to afford the baby. I have no help. I have nothing. If she walks into a preborn clinic, she'll get a free ultrasound today, thanks to somebody like you. And she'll be surrounded by people who actually care about not just the baby, but mom as well.

All right, the torch begins January 5th. All the details coming@glenn beck.com.

You gotta ask yourself, why were the Democrats so unbelievably out of their mind when Elon Musk came in and started making cuts? When he started going through with AI and said, just, let's just go through the budgets. Let's just look at where, where, where money is going. When they cut.

When they cut.

The usaid, why do you think they went crazy? Because that money was all being funneled to GAOs or into to NGOs. It was all going to NGOs. It was, it was going to fund our destruction. Okay. When they, when he started going through the budgets, they had to get him out. They had to stop this from happening because of the fraud. We're now seeing that you're. If you were just joined us, we were talking about the new Obamacare findings from the gao that shows billions of dollars of fraud. That was happening. Okay. This is going to set you off. Mm. Even a little bit more. Jason is with me. Chief researcher. Jason, help me out, because it seems as though I've heard this exact story from the GAO before. True or false?

[B]

True. Unless you're reading a story from 25 or 2015 or 2016.

[A]

Are you? Yeah. No.

[B]

Oh, this is new today.

[A]

This is new today. Oh, okay.

[B]

Okay. I'm just confused because these are the exact same findings the GAA had in 2015, 2016. This is absolutely insane. We just pulled this up. It is literally word for word, almost the same findings.

[A]

They gave me the 2016. Here's the. Here's the 20. Let me see if I can pull it back up. Let me give you the 20. 20 findings. Okay. Government Accountability Office.

Said that the every single one of the fictitious people that were submitted, names, 100% of them, were approved. Not only were they approved, they were renewed year after year. And also there were dead people. Like lots of dead people. People that didn't exist at. At all.

We're looking at 66,000 Social Security numbers that didn't match any real living people. 58,000 matched Social Security death records. 6 million people who are not even in the categories. They claim to be in the categories, and they're getting tens of thousands of dollars each of them. Three or four times as many people enrolled in 150, 100 to 150 of poverty into these zero plans. They're not in those income tax brackets. They're not eligible for that money, but they were still getting it. 27 to $30 billion in fraud. That's today's story. What's the 2016 story?

[B]

2016 story. GAO did the exact same thing in 2015. For the re enrollment period. 15 fictitious applications were submitted. All were approved for coverage and subsidies. All they were approved coverage even when no documents were requested or only fake documents were submitted. And not only this, but it's set to just. It's like. It's like the bad subscription that you have that you have no idea that you had, you know, you know, five years ago. It just automatically keeps going. Same thing. Even though you're supposed to file tax returns to show that, you know, all your numbers are still lining up. Well, these are fictitious people, so they couldn't obviously free file their tax returns. It didn't matter. It still re auto enrolled them. And we can pay for this.

[A]

Exactly what this report today said.

[D]

Why?

[E]

Why?

[A]

What a coincidence.

[B]

Why does the GAO even bother doing these? Because no one acts on them.

[A]

Why?

You know why. Yeah, you know why and I know why. This is. You know, when a government becomes this incompetent and unaccountable, your country starts to completely, completely fall apart. Okay. And we see Democrats now rushing to the microphone to defend the perpetrators, you know, the judges that are reversing verdicts to protect the people who stole from you. I contend that the people that are rushing to the microphones to defend it are the people who, who have been covering this up. And you see brainwashed Americans. I'm sorry, but if you can't, if you're not outraged by this amount of fraud, I don't care who did it. If you're not outraged and you don't want all of these people to go to jail, you're so brainwashed you are. You're actually defending the people who are stabbing you in the chest every day. How's that possible? I mean, it is, it's. It's like you have Stockholm syndrome. And, and the question is, it's not incompetence, is it? Or is it design? This is how republics fall apart, okay? Not foreign invasion. Although we have that going on. Not with, you know, just internal, internal strife, which we have going on, not just with financial collapse, which we have going on.

But also with internal corruption, which we have going on, defended by the same people who lecture you about morality. And they're handing out money, your money, to imaginary citizens.

And then they have the balls to come and say, if you don't extend these subsidies.

All these people are going to lose cover. Good, good. Let's have the dead people that you're paying lose that coverage and use that money that you've just blown and give to your friends or your NGOs. Let's use that money to cover the subsidies. What do you say? How about that as a compromise? Stop the fraud. Stop the fraud. And, you know, I mean, I just, I.

Is this theft? Is this compassion? Is this incompetence? Is it design?

Because Obamacare is not about care. It's not. It's not about health care. All of this is about the future of our country. And our country will not survive if we continue to normalize this stuff. If incompetence is just expected. Oh, well, that's the government. They lost another $40 billion. If accountability is optional and only you are held accountable, but never anybody who's in the system.

Then we don't have a system. We have a system of oppression. We have a system of theft. We have a corrupt. It doesn't get better from here gang. Unless you stand up. It's not going to get better for. And it's broken. We all know it's broken. Washington knows it's broken. And they want it to stay broken. Because broken systems can be controlled, manipulated, exploited for whatever they want.

But broken systems can also be fixed if, if people stand up and go, you know what? No more. No more. Not with my money, not in my name, not with my country. No.

That's why I started the show saying, you know, come January.

When the one year anniversary goes on, if I don't see people actually with indictments that are going to jail, all hell is coming to this program. All hell is coming to this program, and I'm going to bring it to a doorstep in Washington D.C. pam Bondi you should know I've been silent. I have been as supportive as I can be. But if I don't see prosecutions of people, and I don't mean nameless people, I don't mean the little guy, just the Somalian. I want to see the people who were in power that covered this up, because that's the real problem. You can get one Somalian, you can put that one Somalian in jail, but you know what happens? They're replaced with another Somalian or another Italian or another American or another Mexican or another. Just here's an idea. Human being. Because human beings, when they think they can get ahead without getting caught or paying any price, they'll do it. And if you have people in power that want to get ahead and they're in on the corruption and they're excusing all of this and. And they never pay a price because the one Somalian will pay the price. It's not going to get better. You know, maybe it's time for the living to remind those who give healthcare to the dead who actually runs this country.

This country, it's my country. It's your country. It's a country of the people who voted, unlike I voted. It's the country of Democrats and Republicans and independents. If you love the country.

If you're trying to bilk the country, destroy the country, tear the country down. If you want to build a more perfect nation, then it is your country. Even if we disagree on virtually everything other than I want to build a more perfect nation that frees more people using the Bill of Rights in the Constitution, then it's your country too. But you're either part of the solution or part of the problem. And I see far too many people that are part of the problem, and many of them are in Washington, D.C. in fact, I think most of them are in Washington, D.C. you know, you wouldn't have a problem with whole communities just starting to bilk people. Steal a bullet billion. Do you think that just happened? No, that was somebody who was like, you know, you can game this system. And they gamed it so hard. And they were like, look at, this is a free this. They're printing money. It's so free. And nobody's not saying anything. It's so clear. I'm bilking the system and nobody's saying anything. We can get away with this. And then another person joins in and they're like, oh, my gosh, look at this.

[E]

And.

[A]

And before you know it, you have a whole community because no one was held accountable. And why in the Somali community? It's because Waltz and others, they can't say anything about the Somali community. And it's not because they're afraid of the Somali community. It has nothing to do with Muslims. It has everything to do with votes. They need that community. You're not going to be governor if you don't have the Somali community. So. So you dare not say anything. How racist is that? Don't tell me I'm racist for pointing out that some Somalians are. Are coming from a country that this is the norm. Their country, Somalia, it is the norm. This is the way it works. Corrupt government. This is how people bilk the system. Okay? They come over here and. Because you don't want to say anything about them. Because why? I mean, gee, they won't vote for me. How racist is it that you just think because they're Somalians, they want to live in corruption? Maybe they don't. And maybe those who do should go to jail or go back to Somalia.

When are we going to start hearing this from people who will actually do something about it? I am so sick and tired of hearing from people in Washington saying, we're going to do something. We're going to do. So you know what? You elect me, what the hell is Congress? I've got a rant on Congress later. Oh, my gosh, the stuff that they're doing. I am so sick of the GOP telling me that they're going to do something. And then what do they do while we're doing an investigation? Well, you know what? After this next election. Bull crap, man. Was I close to saying something other than crap. Bull crap. I am so sick and tired of hearing it. You and the gop, your time is running out. People that have voted for you, who have supported you, who have done everything they could to make sure you were elected, we're sick and tired of it. We want action. We don't want another bill that says, oh, you know what? It's a super special day because we're doing X, Y, and Z. I want to see actual action on things that actually matter. Good God, man. The Republic is at stake. What have you been doing?

And I know there are good congressmen. I know there are good senators out there that are beating. They're saying the same thing I'm saying. There are those. I know them. They're saying the same thing I'm saying. I just want to put the people at the top of the party at notice.

We're done with you. You've had a year. There's been some great progress in the White House. I've never seen a year like this. I've never seen as much progress as this president has made in nine months.

Except I haven't seen any progress, it seems, in corruption, in weaponization. I haven't seen any progress in that. And I don't know if you know this, but if you don't start making progress, you don't deserve to be reelected. You don't deserve the power. And if you screw it up and then we don't have anybody we can get behind because we're sick and tired of it. You know who comes in? People who are going to destroy this country, destroy it. Now, when that happens, I have to ask myself, oh, well, maybe you were part of the scam. Maybe you're enriching yourself. Maybe you're a pig at the trough too, because why else, why else wouldn't you step up and fix this? More in a minute. American Financing.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Yesterday, Rubio was talking about the dangers of radical Islam. This is a really, really important thing that you need to hear. You know, I think we have a very short period of time to fix this. If we lose the next election, we lose the House or the Senate. None of this is going to be fixed. We've got to pay attention to this right now. And so we're going to. Because the development in Texas, you know, they just renamed it, it's now the Meadows. It's not epic, it's the Meadows. What could possibly. Everybody loves a meadow. You're not one with machetes in it for my hands or my head.

We'll talk about Sharia law in America. What's really going on? Also, the very first sneak peek at my first interview with George AI. What would you ask George Washington if you could talk to him? We have that for you coming up in just a minute. First, let me tell you about our sponsors, Patriot Mobile. Everywhere you look today, big corporations are trying to tell you what you should value, what you should believe, what you should support, how you should think, you know. And they use your money to push that damn agenda. And then they pretend that they're speaking on your behalf, but they're not. And you know it. I know it. That's why Patriot Mobile matters so much, at least to me. They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider and they do not use your bill to fund the latest social campaign or political movement. They let you decide what your money stands for. They support the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the sanctity of life, and the men and women who serve this country because, you know, not because it's trendy, but because it's right. And here's the best part. You still get the same nationwide coverage. You're used to the same towers, the same quality, same reliability, but a fraction of the cost. The only thing that changes really is the cost you're paying and where your money goes. Switching is easy. Keep your money, keep your phone, or upgrade to a free smartphone today. Go to patriotmobile.com Beck call 972 Patriot. Use the promo code Beck. Don't wait. Limited time offer is not going to last. It's patriotmobile.com beck972 Patriot promo code Beck. All right, let me start. First, an interview yesterday with Sean Hannity. Here's Rubio talking about the dangers of radicalized Islam.

[F]

Ultimately, all radical Islamic movements in the world identify the west writ large, but the United States in particular, the greatest evil on the earth and every chance to have the notion that somehow radical Islam would be comfortable with simply controlling some province in Iraq or Syria is just not borne out by history. Radical Islam has shown that their desire is not simply to occupy one part of the world and be happy with their own little caliphate. They want to expand. It's revolutionary in its nature. It seeks to expand and control more territories and more people. And radical Islam has designs openly on the west, on the United States, on Europe. We've seen that progress there as well. And they are prepared to conduct acts of terrorism in the case of Iran, nation state actions, assassinations, murders, you name it, whatever it takes for them to gain their influence and ultimately their domination of different cultures and societies. That's a clear and imminent threat to the world and to the broader west, but especially to the United States, who they identify as the chief source of evil on the planet. The reason why they hate the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the leadership of the uae, of Bahrain, is because they've allowed the United States to partner with them. That's why they hate them. They consider them infidels for it. They hate Israel, but they also hate America. And they hate anywhere in the world that we have influence. They seek to attack it, including here in the homeland. If you look at the domestic terrorists, at the attacks that have happened here domestically, the overwhelming majority of them have been inspired by radical Islamic viewpoints. And that includes the shooting in the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. That includes the Saudi pilot in Pensacola, my home state. Two attacks, okay?

[A]

So I want to. I'd like to propose that we stop calling it radical Islam because it's not radical Islam. It's political Islam. There is religious Islam, and I know a lot of religious Muslims that are good people, ok?

I don't put them in the same category because they don't want Sharia law. That's political Islam. It's not radical. It's what happens all over the world. It's not radical. It's political. How many times do you remember when the. If you're my age, when the wall came down and we finally got to converse with Russians and we always thought, me growing up, I always thought, oh, the Russians, you know, it's all. It's Vladimir. Vladimir is here. And look, he's spying. Natasha, let us spy and kill all Americans, okay? That's what we thought when we were kids. That's not who the Russians were. The Russians were good people. They were decent people. They wanted the same kinds of things that we wanted. We don't agree on everything, but they wanted. They just want to be left alone, let their kids, raise their kids, have a chance at some success. Success. And, you know, and. And retirement. Just leave me alone. Most of us are like that. What happens is our politicians get in the way. The politicians, the political systems are the ones that are the problem. We don't call it radicalized communism. It's communism, okay? It's a political philosophy. This is a political philosophy. Political Islam. It's not radical. It's just a political philosophy. And that political philosophy, just like communism, wants to dominate the world. Unlike communism, political Islam is so incredibly arrogant, it's inevitable to them. Why? Birth rates, Birth rates. That's why. Birth rates. And they think we're stupid. And you know what? So do I. I think we're stupid, too. Come on, man. You know. You right. Are we not stupid? You look over at Europe. Are the grand Europeans that colonize the whole world and are abusing everyone because they're so sophisticated and so powerful and everything else. Really? Are they? Because look how dumb they're being right now with their own countries in Europe. They're committing suicide. And so are we.

Now there's this development that is happening in Texas. Let me. Let me give you an interview, a piece of an interview done by a Muslim developer of Muslim communities.

And how it actually works. Listen to these 35 seconds of this interview. The way what we're doing, brother, like, you cannot make it exclusive. Like non Muslims, not allowed. Far not allowed. What we're doing, there's something called association fee. I don't know what it's called in Dubai. Like your maintenance fee that you pay yearly. Cutting the service fee to cut the grass, to remove the snow and whatnot. So that service fee will put there 75 of the service fee you're paying goes to the masjid. So they will automatically not want to come. Automatically. If you are a practicing Christian, I would advise you, why help the Muslims? You know.

Their own thing, right? So this is the way we're going to put the clause. And our attorney already put it there.

So this is the way they manipulate the Kafar. The Kafar. Are you the non Muslim people? The. The infidels. And they. They are manipulating because.

Why would you do that? That's how they make it an exclusive Muslim community. Okay, and what do you get in those Muslim communities? I want to take you back to 2015.

I had been in.

Irving, Texas. My studios are in Irving, Texas, and I had been there for maybe three years. And it's the most diverse zip code in all of America, which is a great thing, except it's also becoming very, very Islamic. And that is totally fine as long as we're not talking political Islam. Unfortunately, we are. And the religion teaches that you can lie to an infidel. You can lie if it helps Islam. Okay? So I had a couple of imams from the Dallas area come in from, you know, where all of this is happening. And I sat him down and we just had a great conversation. I want you to listen to this. What finally came out of the mouth of one of the imams. Listen to this.

[D]

I am here. I'm sorry to say it back to the first point. I am here to discuss the issue with Islamic tribunal. So Please don't grab us to another situation. Maybe we are ready for any.

[A]

No, I know that I think we had a good.

[D]

We are ready for any point to discuss with. But the main point here we are that the reason we are here to discuss this issue. What kind of cases Islamic tribunal handle. And you start with the Sharia. And what's Sharia? Why the people afraid from Sharia? I'm sorry to say it. One point related to this cut head is not just in Sharia law, just in Islamic law, it's everywhere. Who said that just in Islamic law. That's even another Sharia in Jew, Sharia in Christian, Sharia in American. Here.

We cut head for some reason. So I'm asking you an easy question. If anyone kill another, he should. Should get killed by law, by Islamic law, by governor, he should get killed. What is wrong with that? If a thief jump, I'm sorry to your house, scare your wife, scare your children, scare your neighbor. And they did that with our stores. This is the law, the law to cut his hand. Because if he feels my hand will cut because of that, he will think about this hundred times. He will never do it. And if he do that one time, he will never do it again. Look how many millions of dollars American here on other states or other states outside spend.

To keep the criminal in jail. A lot of millions of dollars. We can't save that. Just let him go, that's it. Because he did something wrong in the whole community and they scared the whole community. Why not? So back please, to the point Islamic tribunal. Yes, we never deal with anything of that. It is not. We don't have authority for that. We don't have power for that.

[A]

But I want to make sure.

But you're okay. You seem to be okay with that. If you had the power for that. But you don't have.

[D]

Absolutely not. Absolutely not.

As Imam said, we have system. We are very organized people.

Sorry for this example, somebody killed my dad. I shouldn't kill him. I have to take this case to the judge and judge have to tell the governor. This is system procedure I have to follow. So it is not like this one called this. Let's get him killed. No, no way. We have very. I give you just an easy example for leader Omar Ibn Al Khattab. This is after Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. He sent one to Yemen and he told him before he leaves, he asked him always as a habit, what did you do if the people bring a thief for you? He said, I will cut his hand, okay? He said, you do that. Okay. Omar said, this is behind. After Prophet Muhammad, after Abu Bakr and the Prophet Muhammad, he said, okay, if one person came with me without work, unemployed, unemployed, I will cut your head. Because he has no job. So he. If you.

Robert something from the store or grab something from here to eat, nothing happened to you. So. But if you have your job and you enough income and you take care about your children and you have house and you have car and you rubber from any store or thing from here or there, you have. So this is the law. But please, the point which Sharia, I ask people, we are not here to do that at all. It is not our authority, it's not our power, it's not our job. We have. Have specific.

[A]

This is amazing to me because you hear how passionate he is about how logical that is. I mean, you just have to do it. I mean that's, I mean it makes sense to everybody. We just cut your head off or we cut your hands off. And the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, I mean, he is, he's preached this forever. And I mean, it just works. It just works. Of course we wouldn't want to do that, but this just works. I mean, let me tell you about it again.

Really, really. You don't want that to happen because you're in the United States, but you're cool with it everywhere else. Everywhere else, but here it's different. But my religion, which requires me to say peace be upon him, after I mentioned the Prophet Muhammad, my religion, which is extraordinarily well defined.

It has these laws in political Islam that must be done because the Quran requires it in political Islam. But we're not going to. We're. I mean, yeah, we've got our own little laws going on now. We've got our courts, but we're never going to go that far. Wait, wait. But you believe in political Islam? Of course I do. But you're not going to do it. Of course not. But the Quran commands you to do it. Of course it does. You follow every dictate in the command. Of course I do. But not that one. Come on, come on. Does anybody really believe that? Now that does not mean Muslims believe that. Many do. Many do. Not many. The ones who do not are the ones who have lived under it and escaped here and want a different kind of Islam. And by us just turning a blind eye to this because they know how it happens. They saw it in their country. They don't want it happening here.

You know, we just take care of things like marriages. Oh, so When a guy says I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you, you're divorced. And she loses everything.

Oh, you mean the kind if she wants to testify against her husband on adultery, she has to have two witnesses plus her because her voice and one other person as a witness does not equal him because she's not equal to a man. Oh, okay. All right. But you have that one and that's okay. No, it's not okay. It's not okay. It's not okay. It shouldn't be okay in any western country, period. Should not be okay. Unfortunately, we're all turning a blind eye to it tonight. I've got a special coming on. I'll tell you about it here in a second. We're taking this on. We're going to show you what's happening over in Europe and we're going to talk to somebody who's from England who says some frightening things because he just came to Texas and he was visiting in Texas. What did he see tonight? You'll see only on the Wednesday Night Special, YouTube. I think it's 6pm and then tonight 9pm on Blaze TV. All right, let me tell you about Cozy Earth.

But Texas is blind to what's coming their way, and it's out of control. And I'll show it to you tonight. The if you've heard of Epic City, it's this giant Muslim community and Greg Abbott started looking into it because they're like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. It's, you know, it'll become a no go zone. Absolutely become a no, no go zone. Now, that is if you believe that the.

Cleric behind all of this is, is not a man of his word, okay? Because here's. We have tapes of him preaching hatred and homophobia and Holocaust denial.

Openly calling for the execution of gay people and adulterers, calling the Holocaust a hoax.

He said that Jewish people have infiltrated the religious departments of all American universities in a bid to destroy Americans.

And he is, you know, he's also, you know, he's also cool with, you know, killing homosexuals. Quote, this is a part of our religion to stone the adulterer and to kill, by the way, the homosexual. This is also our religion. Okay? Do we do this in America? No, we're not allowed to do this in America. You know that. But I'm, I'm saying if we did have an Islamic State, we would do this. Now. That's on tape now. He has come out later and said, oh, that was in my radical days. I'm not heretical anymore. I'm not like that. I, you know that part where I said, if we had the chance to do it, we wouldn't do it now, but we would do it if we had the Islamic State. He's changed his mind. I don't know what has changed his mind because that goes against everything he's preaching as a political Islamic cleric. But, you know, I'm sure we take him at his word. I'm sure he's a changed man. What does this mean? Tonight you will find out on the Glenn Beck special, the Wednesday night special on BlazeTV, also on YouTube. More in just a second, including the first sneak peek of George AI. What would you ask? Washington, Glenn Beck.

Every generation, it has moments when the world feels heavier, when it seems like the darkness is pressing in from every side during Those moments.

It'S not the grand gestures. It's the little things. It's just showing up. People who refuse to look away, people who refuse to turn away, people who refuse to go along with the rest of the crowd over the cliff. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is doing that right now in Israel. The fellowship is on the ground every single day. Christians, meaning Jewish families who are still living with the trauma and aftermath of war, children who have their routines shattered, seniors who are alone, entire neighborhoods trying to rebuild right now, their sense of safety. They're delivering food, heat, medicine, shelter. And more than that, they're bringing in people who have got to be freaked out of their mind about what's happening in the world. They're bringing them hope. Your gift this season matters more than you. You know, give. All you have to do is rush. Your gift now at 888-488-ICJ. 888-488-IFCJ.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. I was at Mar a Lago last night.

I've been trying to help raise funds for several organizations and speaking at several fundraisers at Mar a Lago over the last couple of weeks. And.

It'S, it's an amazing thing to see how many people are just deeply, deeply engaged in saving our nation. And, you know.

You know, our, our life, our fortune and our sacred honor comes to mind.

The dedication of people. Last night, I was there for the American Journey Experience, which is an offshoot of Mercury One. It is our history section. And we announced that we are building a museum, a brick and mortar museum. We begin early next year.

And we had some really exciting things to say about that, and we'll give you updates on that as it goes. But we would love to have your, you know, right now you can come into part, you know, very small museum. I think we have, I don't know, maybe 10,000 square feet. I think our vault is 5,000 square feet. And, you know, we invite people in to see some of the things, but it's, it's really by invitation only, or if you call Mercury One, you can get in. But we're going to open up an actual museum. And it's not just the museum, it's also a teaching center. And so we were talking about that last night, and I, last night I introduced for the first time, George AI, the interaction that I had with AI. Now, remember this is proprietary technology and information. This is based on the library that we have, which is the third largest collection of founding documents in the world, only behind the National Archives and the Library of Congress. And it's all original sources. So it's all the writings of the founders, all of the. All of the writings that influenced them, that we know from their writing. They read this, or they were basing these things on these different items. It's the Federalist Papers. It's all of the documents. It's all of their letters to each other. It's their personal writings. It's the Bible, it's Blackstone's law. It's all of the things that they had access to that influenced them in a positive way to build America. And we have George, which is the librarian. And George is going to be a system that will be able to give you answers to things and show you the actual documents, but he'll be able to speak to you in your own language. If you try to read the Founders now, it's so hard because they were so smart. They're using words that I'm like, I don't even know what that means. And when you read the Founders, you usually have to read it with a dictionary, side by side.

It's difficult. And their language is so formal, so it's hard for us to relate to them. But all of the knowledge, this deep, deep knowledge is there from these guys. Literally, they wrote. I try to remember, was it George Washington or Thomas? One of them wrote at a 70th grade level, the 70th grade, you know.

And so they're just way advanced, Way advanced.

We put all of this information into our own system. This is an AI system built by me and my team. And it has pretty much like, if you will, an electric fence around it. It cannot go and pull information from the outside and mix it with the information from the inside. So it can go. And we can import things and say, hey, I want you to look at this bill and tell me, is this bill even constitutional? What would the founders say about this bill? And it will look at that bill, and then it will go through all of their, you know, discussions and everything else. Everything that is in that AI system memorized from start to finish, which stops hallucinations. And it will analyze that bill, or it will analyze that story, or you can say, hey, I want my kids to understand the Bill of Rights in George. AI right now is. I don't even know how many thousands of sermons there are from the pulpits that were the churches where These guys attended because almost everything in the Declaration and Bill of Rights came from the pulpits. And it's amazing, when you read some of these sermons that these guys gave, it'll be on, you know, the right to life, liberty and property. I mean, that'll be the sermon. And today it look, everybody be like, oh, I can't say that from the pulpit. We have all of these sermons that our laws were based on, these ideas were based on. And so you can ask him anything. And so when you sit down for the very first time and you're going to talk to George Washington or, you know, a reasonable facsimile of him, what do you ask him?

My question was, we fed in all of the conditions of what's happening in America today. And I wanted to have a conversation. And here's a bit of the very first conversation with George. AI. Listen, George, we have programmed a lot of information and given you a lot of information on what's going on in today's America.

Based on your writings and the writings of the rest of the founders. What is it that you feel is the biggest problem or where we should start to fix things?

[G]

If I may speak plainly, my countrymen, the danger, the great, greatest danger to our republic lies not in foreign arms or political faction, but in.

[A]

May I just interrupt you for a second? Could you just dumb it down just a little bit?

[G]

Okay, I do have 29 points and they're all referenced to exactly what we said in the press.

[A]

Just speak in today's language.

[G]

Okay, okay, I. I get it.

Let me speak to Americans.

If I'm honest. America's biggest problem isn't political or economic.

[A]

It.

[G]

It's all moral. You've drifted from the virtues that make liberty possible in the first place. Freedom to be free. You have to have discipline. You have to have faith. You have to have character. And if you don't have any of those things, laws, laws can't stop anything. They mean little government turns either weak or oppressive.

You have grown skeptical of truth. You're reckless with debt. You're comfortable blaming instead of building anything. And in my time, we understood that self governance begins with self control. Do you even recognize what self control is? Public virtue matters more, more than public opinion.

You keep electing these people, expecting things to change, but you haven't changed. The fix is not going to be found in Washington D.C. it's going to be found in every home, every school, every heart. You know, where are the citizens who value duty over comfort, principle over popularity? America was built to be a moral and self governing nation.

It's only that foundation that will still save her.

[A]

Beginning January 5th on the Torch you find information@glenn beck.com youm'll notice he started speaking because this is what you will see at the beginning. I will have to do the interviews with him because compute power is so expensive. And we'll ask you to write in. In fact you can do it now. The torchlenbeck.com what would you like to learn from the founders? What would you like your children to learn from the founders? Would you like a podcast from the founders on the Bill of Rights or the Federalist Papers or whatever? What would you ask? If you could ask the founders a question, what would you ask them at the beginning? Because of compute power, we will be feeding those in and then producing and rolling out every day different podcast or answers or whatever from George AI.

I pray and I hope and I have pretty good advisors on what we're going to be able to do. And it depends on how many people are using it. And you know, if we get people to help us in support compute power, the cost of it will go down and we'll be able to.

Afford bigger amounts of compute and you'll be able to hopefully within the first year you'll be able to have a one on one conversation like I just did have a one on one conversation. And you'll notice at the beginning he came out and because this is the way they are, they're trained, it's trained to give you the actual verbiage. And when he said I have 29 points, he believe me because we edited there. He went on and oh my gosh, it gets tedious but he has the 29 points. He can show you the documents and it's all in his language. Or you can do what I did and say just speak in today's language. Dumb this down. I'm trying to. This, this needs to be understood by an eight year old and it will continue to adjust. You'll eventually, hopefully in the first year, in 2026 for the 250th anniversary.

You will be, you'll be able to.

Say I have a 15 minute commute. Commute and I'm taking my kids to school every day. It takes me 15 minutes to drive them to school and they need to understand whatever it is. They need to understand civic responsibilities. They need to understand the responsibility part of our rights, whatever it is.

Can you develop a podcast? I need them to understand the Bill of Rights. So I'd like to do it in the next 10 days and it needs to be no longer. Each episode needs to be no longer than 14 minutes. So you get in the car and it's 14 minutes. Eventually, when it is coming to you live, it will ask you questions. At the end, it will finish the podcast and then it will ask each member. You say, I've got an 8 year old, a 12 year old and me, and I'm, you know, 40. It will ask each of you questions just to gauge did you understand what was just taught? And if you don't, if AI decides, you don't really have it, you don't understand the real essence of this, it will then rejigger the next podcast. So the next time you're in the car going to and from school, it will adapt to you to be able to go back and teach it more clearly and it will learn you. So it will be, ah, the deficit is here. Or they understand, they're more of a visual learner, they're more of this kind of learner. Whatever. They'll understand in stories or they understand just in facts or whatever. It will understand each member and it will be able to teach them directly in their language the way they learn. I hope this is my goal.

Because I feel like I accomplished what I set out to accomplish with the Blaze. I feel like I accomplished that a few years ago and I'm not good at treading water and.

I feel like we accomplished. Our goal of my goal at least was just to open a door that others could walk through. Open the door and show America and show talent that you can start something yourself. You can do this on your own and you can present it in a way that is just as credible and more. Just as, if not more powerful than any of the networks. And you don't have a boss breathing down your neck. You don't have people that you are having to answer to. You can speak your mind and tell the truth as you understand it and chart your own course. Nobody was doing that when I started the Blaze. I mean, the only, the only people that had a spine, a backbone, if you will, a digital backbone that could provide a live network kind of feed was Major League Baseball. They were the only ones. They were the first in to say, we can do a live sports coverage. I partnered with Major League Baseball and said, can we use your spine? We want to do live news. We did. This is at a time when Netflix was still sending movies through the mail. Now look at what's happened. So I think we disrupted the news industry. We disrupted all of that, destroyed it and reinvented. This is my next phase of my life, probably my last chapter in my life. I want to do the same thing and disrupt.

Education and the way we learn. And to show you an ethical way to use AI, one that you will not get lost into. It will always remain a tool in your hands, not the other way around. More in just a second. You can find all the information@glenn beck.com it starts January 5th. All right. Relief factor.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Let me. I want to introduce to somebody who is. They say she's one of the leading female voices, if not the leading female voice of the conservative movement. I like to remove one word. I think she is one of the leading conservative voices. Forget female. She has. When she speaks, a lot of people listen. She talks common sense and she speaks it in a way that a lot of people really understand. And, and she has been very concerned about the growing influence of Islam. Is the GOP doing enough? Tonight I'm doing a TV special, Wake up. The Islamic takeover of America that is halfway complete. That's tonight at nine on the Blaze and also on my YouTube channel about six o' clock tonight. Ali Bastucky joins me next. We also have Christopher Ruffo who's going to join me in about a half half hour. He is the one that has originally broken the story up in Somalia. That is driving me out of my mind because these politicians are running to defend. How do you defend a billion dollars being stolen from the American people? Shameful. Shameful and suicidal, quite honestly, if you go along with it. Ali Beth joins me here in just a second. So first let me tell you about Z Factor.

How are you?

[E]

Doing well, how are you?

[A]

I'm really good. I'm really good.

[E]

Good.

[A]

It is amazing to me how this, the awareness of this Islamic takeover of the west, how quickly it is spreading and how quickly people are waking up. I don't know about the politicians, but the average person is really starting to wake up to this, don't you think?

[E]

Absolutely. And of course you've been warning about this for years, but I think a lot of people are just seeing it infiltrate their neighborhoods that there's mosques where there used to be churches or where there used to be office buildings. There are people wearing hijabs and their elementary schools and middle schools. There are fewer people celebrating Christmas in Hanukkah around them. And you're told that you're not allowed to notice this and you're certainly not allowed to care about this. There's no such thing as American culture. You can't care about sharing these celebrations with your neighbors. But people do care. It's very unsettling and a lot of people are just finding the words and the courage to say something about it.

[A]

You know, I don't have a problem with, you know, halal or Kosher ring. I don't have a problem, but I do have a problem that my kids school now has to only serve halal food. I mean, it's like, wait, wait a minute, what, what, what's up with that? And that's happening all over Texas where halal is your choice now. And I just, I mean, can we have a conversation about this, please? You know, that's all. I think that's what most people just want. Can we at least have a conversation about what's happening in our country?

[E]

Right. You know, I asked my Instagram followers, vast majority are women, probably 85% stay at home moms. And when I asked, my followers were about 850,000 on Instagram. And I just said totally open ended, wasn't looking for a particular answer. Hey, what is your biggest concern with America right now? I was just trying to come up with topics for my show. The number one answer over and over again was the spread of Islamic dominance where they are living in America, in the West. This is very destabilizing for a lot of people and they are seeing it not just affect people far off like we used to, but affect their own neighborhoods and their own schools. And so, you know, usually politicians take a while to kind of wake up to what the populace is really scared of. We have seen some good action in Texas for sure, but this is a real problem and it's not just an illegal immigration problem. And that's the uncomfortable part of this. Like this is a cultural issue, this is an immigration issue in general. So we need the people in Washington and in Austin to come up with some good solutions for the people who are concerned about this.

[A]

You said that your audience is concerned because it affects them. How does it affect them?

[E]

Well, I think that they're scared of the violent crime that they've seen in places, maybe in their own city, but certainly in places where Islam has dominated. When we look at places like Dearborn, Michigan, when we look at our friends across the pond, that sexual crimes, that violent crimes all increase disproportionately, when there is a large scale importation of people from these Muslim majority countries doesn't mean that they're all like that, doesn't mean that they can't be good neighbors. But this is not only a cultural change, this is not only a shift in how their neighborhoods look and feel and the celebrations had and things like that, but this also is potentially a threat to their own safety, especially the safety of their daughters. And people care about that.

[A]

I was talking to somebody who was doing A podcast with somebody over in London yesterday, and.

He was talking about this and I said, you know, I'm not, you know, I don't follow the news all the time, you know, closely like I do in America about, you know, the United Kingdom. But what I'm seeing coming out of Ireland, and when you think of Ireland, you think of a very Catholic country.

You know, or Protestant, a very Christian country, right? And they, they fought wars over their own Christianity. It is almost completely gone now. You have to go to, you know, the way, way, way, way outskirts, you know, the northern part of the island to find that kind of community. The Irish have almost been completely wiped out. There's, there's very few churches left. They are all being converted into mosques. And you know, okay, well, time passes, et cetera, et cetera. But to not notice and not say, wait a minute, that is the erasing of an entire people and their culture. And that culture is very important to the West. Should we not care about that?

[E]

Right. Well, certainly progressives care about it. When it comes to, you know, non British or non British countries or countries that are not America, they call that colonialism, they call that imperialism. But apparently when Muslims do this, it's fine. But the problem was at first, Islam. The problem was secularization. The lesson there is that secularism doesn't hold. Atheism, agnosticism don't hold. People are looking for meaning and eventually ideology in one religion will win. And right now, Islam in a lot of countries is winning.

[A]

You know, you wrote a book on toxic empathy, and.

I think it's a mistake on this one to say that it was empathy, that we've gone down the road. I think this is especially if you look in Minnesota, they turn a blind eye to what's going on in, in Minnesota and I'll bet you in Michigan as well, because if you don't have the Muslim population on your side, you're not going to be elected governor, you're not going to be mayor. And so it's not empathy, it's all politics, which makes it even more grotesque. But when I see us turning a blind eye to it.

We'Re now entering the time of suicide. And those who are in power are the doctors engaging in medical assisted suicide for their country. They know what they're doing at this point. They're just choosing their power and hold on to their power for as long as they can. Do you think toxic empathy at this point is still playing a role in this Islamic, you know, hostile political, Islamic takeover?

[E]

Yeah, I absolutely do. Now, do I think that that's the case for Tim Walls or Jacob Frey or any of these cowards. No, probably not. It's probably power. It's fear, as you said. But for the average person, especially for the woman, especially for the person who has been told that loving your neighbor means just accepting all forms of people no matter what their behavior is, then, yeah, I do think that people are more scared of Islamoph or being called an Islamophobe than they are the Islamification of their neighborhood. In fact, I think they think that their virtue is tied to how much they like Halal and how much they accept, you know, the, the building of mosques around their neighborhood. And so I do think that people feel so strongly that being exclusive or intolerant in any way is a sign of being a bad person that they won't speak up. Because the immediate social incentive for speaking up against Islam or against soft on crime policies or anything, it just, it doesn't exist. The social incentive in the immediate is to be as progressive as possible. People respond to incentives. So I think that's a big part of what's going on.

[A]

Love to hear your comments on Trump over the holiday. Tweeted out the official United States foreign population stands at 53 million people, most of which are on welfare from failed nations or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from patriotic American citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape or form. They've put up what has been happening to our country, but it's eating them alive to do so. Wow, that's not very empathetic, is it?

[E]

Right. That's exactly what he's talking about, is toxic empathy. He's talking about our compassion as Americans being weaponized against us. The problem, I wouldn't have said it's a problem, but now it's kind of becoming a problem, is that for conservatives, we're thinking individually, we're thinking about our family, and we're thinking, okay, whatever, just take my taxes, do what you have to do. I'm going to keep my head down, I'm going to work hard, I'm going to move further outside of the city, I'm going to homeschool. I, I'll just, you know, take to the Benedict option and kind of be a recluse. As long as my family is safe, as long as I can make money, as long as things are okay here, then I'll be fine. While progressives, for the most part don't think that way. They think collectively they are looking to build a coalition to take power. We are just thinking about our family and about our immediate future in our local community. And that's not really a fair fight when you have someone who is thinking in the big sense and we're thinking in the micro. And so he's absolutely right. And that is one weakness that we Christian and conservatives have. Even if we're right in thinking that way, it's hurting us now, especially an ideology like Islam that means submission, they're looking to conquer. And conservatives in general, we just haven't been thinking that way.

[A]

Talking to a guy from the United Kingdom and I said.

How close are you guys to civil war? I mean, I see what's going on and, you know, collapse and, I mean, it's bad. And he said, I think it's beyond saving but for God. And what came to mind as he said that was, yeah, I agree with that, except you've become a godless country. I mean, you know, the Church of England just raised the Islamic flag over the Church of England last week. I mean, what God is there?

He said that there was a resurgence of faith, which would be great, but how do we fix this, Ali?

[E]

Gosh, I pray to the Lord that that is true, that there is some kind of revival that we don't see. It's important to know that God's work doesn't always make headlines. It doesn't always go viral. When it seems like he's just doing one thing, he's actually doing a million things in the unseen and unseen sung work of just faithful believers that might not have radio shows or podcasts, but they are doing God's work. And so I pray to the Lord that that is true. It is. I can't imagine, like a better signifier that you've been conquered than, you know, another ideology raising its flag over your territory. I mean, that is literally a sign that you have been conquered. But God. But God can do anything. And so we should pray. He works through the prayer of believers. He works through the obedience of believers, the boldness of evangelism of believers. We can't alter change the world, but we can be faithful with whatever spot of eternity God has providentially placed us in to make it better for the glory of God, to share the gospel and to speak beauty and truth and goodness into whatever sphere we occupy. That is the responsibility of a Christian. That is how God has moved mountains for over 2,000 years. And I think he will continue to.

[A]

Hallelujah. Thank You. God bless you.

[E]

Thank you very much.

They're reminders of who we are and what we stand for@glenn beck.com Also, don't forget, tonight there is a civilizational war that's going on within the United States and the rest of the world has ignored it. I mean, I've been shouting this since the chalkboard. The Islamists and the socialists and the anarchists will all work together to overthrow stability. And they will start in the Arab world, then they'll go to Europe, and then they'll come to America. That's exactly how it is played out. And now we're seeing this combination of socialists and Islamists. And by the way, on the torch, I'm going to be doing a special on Islam. Whatever happened to all those socialists? You know this. It was the Marxists and the socialists that helped bring the Ayatollah Khomeini back to Iran in 1979. Guess who was dead by 1980? All of the socialist. Marxist. Yeah, they were all executed, rounded up. 30,000 of them. Rounded up, executed, or thrown in jail. Congratulations, you morons. Anyway, assuming you're not a moron, you're not one of the socialists. If you are, what are you? You're. Well, you're a moron. That's why you're listening to E is you're going against your beliefs by listening to me. Maybe you get some common sense or you're just like, so dumb. You're like, I don't know what he's saying. Anyway.

We have a special on this. We are not far behind Europe and England and we are moving rapidly. Have you noticed how things are speeding up? I mean, nobody was talking about this six months ago. Now it seems to be everywhere. You see the story today of another guy. This one was not Somali, he was Pakistani. Another guy who was caught and arrested yesterday and he had all kinds of stuff in his car. He was going to do a mass killing here in America. It's here. The true threat that still has yet to happen here in America. But the warning signs are everywhere. Tonight, BlazeTV and on my YouTube channel, YouTube.com Glenn Beck. YouTube.com Glenn Beck and on BlazeTV tonight, Wednesday night special. Check it out.

This is Glenn Beck. Christopher Ruffo is joining me here in just a second. First, let me tell you about good ranchers. A lot of the meat sold in America today is imported from overseas. Can I ask you what the hell is wrong with us? Why would we do that? We have great ranches here. We have all kinds of land here. We've always fed ourselves. Why are we doing this? Good rancher changes all of this. Turns it upside down. When you open one of their boxes, you're getting 100% American meat raised on farms and ranches that still care about flavor and quality and the American way of life. The difference shows up the moment it hits the pan or the barbecue. Better sizzle, better smell, better eating meals that feel like you made something on purpose, not just something you threw together and it's all shipped straight to your door, vacuum sealed and flash frozen at peak freshness. No guessing, no last minute store trips. Just incredible meat that makes cooking fun again and dinner something your family actually looks forward to. So this year, don't just give another holiday gift. Give a reason to gather. Goodranchers.com start gift giving while you're there. Treat yourself, subscribe. Use the promo code BECK $40 off your first order and free meat for life. Goodranchers.com promo code BECK don't forget, the torch begins in just a few weeks. We want you to be part of the movement@glenn beck.com.

So I first ran into Chris Rufo. I don't even know how many lifetimes ago he was working for the City Journal and he was starting to uncover things and he just started doing investigations on things that he cared about. And all of a sudden he is one of the best investigative reporters out there. Extraordinarily credible, right? Almost every single time. And he is joining us at the Blaze. He is the host now of his own TV show, Rufo and Lomas.

And he's the guy who broke the story a couple weeks ago about the Minnesota taxpayers who are funding A terrorist group, Al Shabaab, I don't know. Is that a problem?

Can I ask you, am I more outraged and I haven't paid any Minnesota tax. Am I more outraged than the people of Minnesota?

I mean, I know there's, you know, it's Norwegians up there. And so they're, you know, Norwegians are like, yeah, sure. I mean, you know, they don't seem to get very excited about and they're very, you know, socialized and everything else. They're very big heart, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And they don't seem to, you know, they, they're Swedish, Norwegian, you know.

But is there any point where they're outraged? Is there any point when they're like, you know what? This socialization thing is good, but not like this, this socialized, hey, let's help everybody, but not like this. I mean, you got a billion dollars taken from the taxpayers. A billion.

Is. And I don't hear anything from the people of, I mean, if your government, if you were taken for a billion dollars and your money, you knew was being taken away from children who need food, they were faking all kinds of health issues for other children and so taking money away from real autistic programs and then putting it in and sending it to a terror group, wouldn't you be kind of pissed? Because I know I would be. Are the people in Minnesota pissed about it? I don't know. I mean, I don't think if it was my state, I don't think my governor would still be in the governor's office. But, you know, maybe that's just me. Christopher Ruffo joins me now. Chris, we were just talking about, I mean, first of all, thank you for not only this story, but all the stories and things that you have exposed over the years. Thank you for doing all of the hard work and being credible the whole time.

It doesn't. Am I more outraged by this story than the people of Minneapolis? Because they don't seem to have a problem with it. Is it just me?

[C]

Well, it's even more bizarre, actually. You're outraged about the proper thing to be outraged about, which is that a group that is a recent arrival was permitted kind of asylum, refugee status into the United States, has now systematically looted the treasury of the state of Minnesota. But Minnesota politicians are also outraged. But they're outraged that we've noticed this and that we've called, called this out and that we're saying this is not okay. And so you have the mayor of Minneapolis speaking in Somali, saying that he's going to, you know, do whatever he can do whatever he can to, you know, to shelter the Somali community from any criticism at all. And I just find this borderline suicidal. And the Scandinavian kind of Scandinavian founding culture of Minnesota is just being systematically exploited and they seem to have no ability to even defend themselves against it.

[A]

I mean, what's happened to Sweden is happening in, you know, in, in Minnesota. It's just they take the kindness and the socialism, you know, the socialized everything, and they just absolutely abuse it until there is nothing left. And, you know, I don't. Let me ask a question, and I want to be really careful here because, you know, I. And I know you're not. Nobody is reasonably saying this, that all Somalis just want to rip us off. Not true. I think there's probably a lot of people that wanted to get away from Somalia because it is an absolutely corrupt system. And now our politicians are just recreating, you know, what they had in Somalia. And I can't believe that everybody from Somalia in Minnesota is for that. But when you look at where they came from, that is the way their government works. It is so rife with corruption. Is this something that is being imported or is this just a handful of bad guys?

[C]

Well, it's a little bit of both. And as you said, we have to be careful and precise in how we think about it. But what's happening is that obviously not every Somali is participating in these fraud schemes. But it's true that many, many, many extraordinarily high percentage of people in the Somali community were participating in these schemes. Prosecutors have told me that there are dozens of these schemes that have been perpetrated, and some of them are involving dozens and in some cases, hundreds of families. And so we're talking about a very high percentage of the population. But the point is that this related to immigration. We always have had an immigration system that makes group level analyses. And so Somalis, for example, for many decades now have been given special privileges in America's immigration system. They have special status for asylum, for refugee programs. And so we've rewarded Somalis on the basis of a group identity. And I think that it's totally fair to say, hey, wait a minute, we can't take everyone from around the world. We have to prioritize by group. We can't judge every single human being around the world as an individual. And the reality is that the Somali community is not coming as individuals, they're coming as a community. And so you can say, you know, there are absolutely great people, wonderful Somalis. The incredible Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a Somali, incredible woman. But the fact is, is that they're bringing the cultural systems from Somalia to the United States, and they're just fundamentally incompatible. That's the.

Brass tax, the bottom line, the end of the story.

And what I was looking for and hoping for was that Somali leaders would stand up and say, what's happening in our community is wrong. We're going to work with. We're going to work with law enforcement to stamp out this corruption within our own house. But instead, they've gone just the opposite. They're promising that members of their community should have no criticism and should operate with impunity.

[A]

Tim Walls and even Mayor Fry. How do they survive this?

[C]

Here's the actual sad truth. I know conservatives are waiting for the backlash to sweep away these corrupt leaders and these feckless and incompetent politicians. But there's something about liberal culture where no amount of chaos, corruption, crime, murder, you know, theft, can dissuade them from their core beliefs that our society is bad. And as a form of penance or kind of self flagellation, we have to accept any amount of crime, provided that it's committed by people who can check the identity boxes. And so I'm actually pessimistic and skeptical of the idea that Minnesota voters are gonna rise up and demand that this corruption stop.

[A]

You know, I remember Michele Bachmann came to my apartment when I was living in New York city, probably about 2008, maybe nine. And she sat me down, she said, glenn, you gotta pay attention to what's happening with our State Department in Minnesota. And I said, what do you mean? And she said, they're moving whole communities into. Into Minnesota. And she's like. And I said, communities? What do you mean? And she said, somalis. And I'm like, why would they be moving to Minnesota? I mean, you come from Somalia. What, you. You miss being surrounded by feet of snow for six months out of the year? And she said, no. She said, it is the State Department. It's like they selected, you know, Minnesota and moved people in as a community. Was this. Was this done? I mean, I'm having a hard time separating, like, usaid. I know what that is. We all know what that is. This is corruption. And they knew exactly what they were doing. Is this incompetence, just corruption? Is there planning involved in this? Is this. You know, I hate America so much. Cloud and Piven kind of.

[B]

What.

[A]

What is this?

[C]

So there's two arguments that have been floated to Answer. In an attempt to answer this question, the first argument is that the last knows how to gain power and by importing dependent foreign groups into the, into the populace, they have a client that can provide them with votes in exchange for patronage or in this case, corruption, and that this is a strategy to amplify their own domestic political power. The other hypothesis, and I think for me the more persuasive hypothesis, is that this is just simple liberal naivete and a kind of suicidal empathy, as Gadzad calls it, where they are blind to the consequences of consequences of their own actions. They judge on inputs rather than outputs. And for them, the measure is how compassionate can they be? And any imposition of limits or consequences is seen as a violation of core liberal principles. You know, it might be a combination of the two, but I don't, you know, again, provide, you know, barring evidence that emerges, I would assume that it's more the latter than the former former.

[A]

How do we know for sure that money went to Al Shabaab?

[C]

Great question. I mean, first of all, there have been schemes over the last decade where counterterrorism officials tell me that every time they're looking at ISIS recruiting, Al Shabaab recruiting, radical Islamist recruiting, Minneapolis always shows up. And in fact, it is really the epicenter of foreign terror recruitment in the United States of America. But on the particular question of Al Shabaab, there is the testimony of multiple counterterrorism officials who told us, hey, some of this money is getting siphoned off and essentially taxed by the Al Shabaab terror network once it leaves the United States and goes into the Somali informal banking system. But this is really not in dispute. Even a left leaning group like the foundation for Defense of Democracies has long noted that Al Shabaab skims almost all remittance payments that travel through the country of Somalia. And therefore it stands to reason if people are stealing from the Minnesota government, sending that money back to Somali through the Hawala remittance system, and Al Shabaab is taking their cut. We're talking about a significant amount of money. Whether it's intentional or unintentional, the end result is the same. Al Shabaab is receiving American taxpayer dollars that were stolen and then routed through their networks.

[A]

So how is this stopped? Because, I mean, it doesn't look like anything in Minnesota is going to happen. How's this stop? Because it feels, honestly, and you would know better than I do, it feels like the tip of the iceberg. I mean, you know, today the story from The GAO on Obamacare, that's completely out of control. Usaid, this is happening. I mean, tip of the iceberg. How do we stop this if our politicians won't do anything in the states?

[C]

Well, there's two things that we can do. I think first off, in this particular case, federal prosecutors have done a great job uncovering these Somali fraud rings and implementing prosecutions. And so they really deserve enormous credit. But the federal government should do much more. And I would recommend that Health and Human Services and other welfare departments at the federal level stop all payments to Minnesota until they have a third party audit, until they get their fraud under control. And you know, ultimately you have to stop giving these people money if you want them to change their behavior. And so I think a stop payment order on all federal funding to Minnesota programs where there are suspicions of fraud will help clean things up fairly quickly. But the reality is that we have a system in the United States where it's always a third party payer. Health insurance, welfare programs, food stamps, autism services, whatever it might be. These are massive third party payer programs. The incentives are, you know, not aligned with people actually enforcing the rules and they become easy targets for fraudsters. And so Minnesota used to be famous for honesty, fair dealing, good government.

[A]

Oh yeah.

[C]

And in just a short number of decades, their reputation has now been completely inverted. And it is by all accounts, from all of the research that I've done, I think this is likely the largest systematic welfare fraud scheme in American history.

[A]

[F]

But now President Donald Trump singling out.

[A]

And attacking one group of people and eyes being on our streets and asking people documentation. It feels like we are in 1930s, 1940s in Germany. Never thought there would be a time where I will tell my community to.

[F]

Carry their passport around because.

[A]

Right. It's so true. In 1930s Germany. Remember when they were rounding up all the Somali Muslim. Oh no, wait. Oh no, that didn't happen. And we're talking about Somalians that are committing crimes.
