This is is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello America. I have some concerning news, but I have also some very good news. I'm going to start with the State Department. Something that is happening in the State Department, but I want you to listen to what they're now saying publicly to the rest of the world. It's very different than it has been in the past. We begin there in 60 seconds. We're also going to talk about the $4 trillion debt ceiling going up. The fact that now we have more trillion judges up in New York that are like, you know, president, he can't do that with tariffs because we don't see the emergency. Oh, oh, you don't see the emergency. Okay, well, thank you, but we didn't elect you. And I'll get into that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. You don't know when your phone bill started doubling as a political donation to people who think the American flag is triggering. But somewhere between the fourth streaming service you didn't ask for and the fifth program, price hike, you didn't even notice. That's when it happened. The big mobile companies, they're that. They're that one relative who keeps showing up on Thanksgiving, eats all your food and then tells you why your house is oppressive. Hey, thanks for the wi fi. Now let me talk about how you're, you know, we need to cancel history because. Well, no, no, no, not with my money. I don't think with your money either. That's why you should switch to Patriot Mobile. They use the same towers, the same coverage, except of instead of sending a portion of your bill to leftist nonsense, they, they support veterans, first responders and pro life causes. It's kind of like giving your phone bill a backbone. So if you want to stop funding the cultural decline every time you text lol, then you should check Patriot Mobile out. Patriot Mobile. The freedom shouldn't come with a data cap. Make the switch today. Go to patriotmobile.com beck or call 972 Patriot. 972 Patriot use the promo code Beck for a free month of service. Patreonmobile.com Beck Now 972 Patriot. All right, I want to remind you of something before we get into to all of this, about something that we. We probably learned and then forgot about in school. And I'll give that to you here in a second. But, you know, liberals are freaking out. I mean, they freaked out over, you know, J.D. vance when he went to Europe and he said, look, you gotta stand for freedom of speech. Wait until they read the sub stack. Now, from the State Department, this is something really, really amazing. Something remarkable is happening, and it's really happening at the last place I would expect it to happen. And that is the State Department. Because that thing. Oh, my gosh, that, that. That has taken our country and steered it into the wrong direction for so long. And for the very first time in a very long time, the United States Department of State is speaking not like a globalist think tank, but actually as a sovereign nation that finally remembers what it's all about, and it's done it in just over 100 days. Marco Rubio is doing an incredible job along with the president on the State Department. We are no longer bowing to international consensus. We're not apologizing for American strength. Um, you know, we're. We're not managing our own decline. Instead, we have clarity. Clarity about who we are, what we'll defend, and what we will no longer tolerate. Now think about this. Just a few months ago, we had a State Department that was all tangled up in WOKE ideology. You know, we were outsourcing our American foreign policy to NGOs that were constantly undermining our values. We had a government that was handing out billions of dollars in aid while our borders were wide open and enemies like China were buying up influence in Panama, buying up farmland in Peoria. I mean, it was crazy. And that's all over now. Rubio has hit the brakes on the belt and road madness we have now. Did you know that we fixed Panama? The Panama Canal? He secured Panama's exit from Beijing's grip. He told Latin American leaders, you want a relationship with the US Then stop sending your people across the border and start taking responsibility. That's not a press release. This, this is leadership, and it's happening at the State Department. And most shockingly of all, I think he shut down the Global Engagement center, that Orwellian outfit that was, you know, masquerading as a disinformation watchdog, but was actually censorship mill from the US Government gone. That alone, we should be standing. Give him a standing ovation. For now, it's still the State Department, so, you know, but you can feel the gears turning differently now. The Agency is being gutted of its dead weight, of its activist layers. They're all being peeled back and rebuilt on this simple idea. The United States of America must speak clearly, act decisively, and defend its own citizens and values first. I mean, look what's happened. Uh, terrorists. Yep, they're called terrorists. They're on the run. Cartels now designated as terrorist organizations. Watch what happens there. Visas for criminal aliens revoked. Students who abuse our generosity to promote jihadist propaganda. You're out. I mean, this is not just a shift in policy. It is a shift in philosophy. This is really good news. And what it is saying to the world is we are no longer confused on who we are. We're not here to play international babysitter. We're not here to sign treaties that handcuff our economy or finance global instability under the banner of aid anymore. We're here to defend American interest and nothing else. Now, you contrast that with the last few years, you know, embassies flying the rainbow flags, you know, Iranian proxies blowing up oil tankers bent over backwards trying to, you know, kiss the butt of Tehran. I mean, that chapter is over, and it couldn't have ended soon enough, but I can't believe that that chapter is over. You have to read the substack from the State Department. We are now saying loud and clear, America is no longer a doormat. America is no longer a cash machine. America is no longer ashamed. Yes, we've made mistakes, but you made them, too. Now, is this making some foreign policy people very uncomfortable? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. The Davos crowd, they hate it. W E F. They hate it. The UN oh, my gosh, the think tanks, they're screaming right now. And the New York Times is going to talk about tribalism and isolationism and authoritarianism, but you know what? That's how you know it's working. That's how you know we're on the right track. Because for once, we're not admiring the problems. We're solving them. And if this continues, we might just remember what it feels like to lead and be free again. I. I want to give you some. I want to give you some of the words that Rubio is releasing now under the sub stack. You. You have to. You have to read some of it. It's amazing. Let me give you the latest. It was posted, I think, yesterday. It's the class clash of civilizations, the need for civilizational allies in Europe. And it builds on what Marco Rubio. I'm sorry, what JD Vance said when he was over in Germany. Look, guys, There are certain values that we can't abandon anymore. And there. There are two rules of thought here. And this is what we probably learned in school and then forgot. The clash of civilizations. This is a thesis that the people's cultural and religious identities will be the primary source of conflict in the post Cold War world. This came from Sam Hutchinson. He was a political theorist and political scientist, and he argued the future would. Would be fought not between countries, but between cultures. And we couldn't. We. I don't think we could really get our arms around that because the Western culture was winning. And it was proposed in 1992 at the American Enterprise Institute. And, and then in 1993, it was an article. And this is what gave birth to Francis Fukuyama's book the End of History and the Last man, where it was a completely different philosophy. And that's the one that the State Department of the rest of the world went with. We're going. What we're seeing actually is the clash of civilizations is right, that the Western way of life is under attack. And it's under attack internally and externally. Let me, Let me give you this because this is worth really listening to, because this is a message that our State Department just said, sent to the rest of the world, and every American should know it as well. The need for civilization, civilizational allies in Europe. Let me read it verbatim here. The close relationship between the United States and Europe transcends geographic proximity and transactional politics. It represents a unique bond forged in a common culture. Faith, familial ties, mutual assistance in times of strife, and above all, shared Western civilizational heritage. Our transatlantic partnership is underpinned by a rich Western tradition of natural law, virtue ethics, and national sovereignty. This tradition flows from Athens and Rome, through medieval Christianity, to English common law, and ultimately to America's founding documents. Our Declaration's revolutionary assertion that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights echoes the thoughts of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas and other European heavyweights who recognized that all men possess natural rights and that no government can deny or arbitrate any of those rights. America remains indebted to Europe for this intellectual and cultural legacy. This connection between Europe and the United States is also the reason that we now speak honestly when we disagree or have concerns. And it is why the Trump administration is sounding the alarm in Europe. You know, if. If their press hadn't made Donald Trump look like Hitler, this would be such a powerful message. Imagine being over in a country, you know, in the Netherlands or Germany or Whatever. You're seeing your country overrun and you're seeing your friends being called terrorists. Exactly like what was happening here in America. And nobody on your side is standing up in Europe. There's no leadership. Listen to this. When Vice President Vance addressed this year's Munich security Conference, he made the reason clear, stating, what I worry about is the threat from within the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values. Values shared with the United States of America. In the aftermath of two devastating world wars, European nations sought to prevent future catastrophes by creating supernatural structures that would bind nations closer together and allow for more substantial diplomatic and economic engagements. This is from the State Department. Proponents of this new order, including well meaning Christian and pro democracy parties, sought a grand transformation to a world that would transcend the divisiveness of nationality and creed. To usher in an era of unprecedented peace by overcoming the anchors of nationhood, culture and tradition. Global liberalism promised what Francis Fuka whatever famously called the end of history, the ultimate innovation of political life. Today this promise lies in tatters. This is so important. Today this promise lies in tatters. What endures instead is an aggressive campaign against Western civilization itself. Listen to that again. What endures is an aggressive campaign against Western civilization itself. Across Europe, governments have weaponized political institutions against their own citizens and against our shared heritage. Far from strengthening democratic principles, Europe has devolved into a hotbed of digital censorship, mass migration, restrictions on religious freedom and numerous other assaults on democratic self governance. These concerning trends have only increased in recent years. In the United Kingdom, police are arresting Christians for silently praying outside of an abortion clinic. In 2023, over 12,000 British citizens were arrested for online posts, including comments crit of Europe's migration crisis that authorities deem to be grossly offensive. In Germany, the government has established elaborate systems to monitor and censor online speech under the guise of combating disinformation and presenting offense. When the German citizens express legitimate concerns about the economic and social impacts of globalization or criticize politicians, they now risk being fined, label as radicals, or even having homes raided by law enforcement. The European Union's Digital Service act, billed to protect children from harmful online content, is instead being used to silence dissident voices through Orwellian content moderation. Independent regulators now police social media companies including prominent American platforms like X and threaten immense fines for non compliance with their strict speech regulations. Let me continue what comes from our State Department here in just a second. It is a massive shift. Give me 60 seconds. You're going to understand if you listen to the whole podcast today. You're going to understand why Lear Capital is so important. And I'm going to give you some things that you need to know and that you need to do, and some things that you need to probably call your Senate senator and congressman on with this big, beautiful bill. The. The idea that we're going to raise the debt ceiling $4 trillion, and we're not taking any cuts seriously is sending the exact wrong message. And you're about to feel it. You're about to feel it in a big way, unlike I think we've ever felt our debt ever before. So please do the things that you need to do to stay healthy financially. If you have saved and saved and saved for your retirement, I got news for you. You know, your dollar has lost half its value. It just won't buy the same things. I mean, I showed you this the other day. The gas price now, is it, what, 303? It was for the last weekend. It was the lowest price since 2002. But wait a minute. I don't remember prices being 303 in 2002. No, of course not. It was a $50. So that just shows you inflation. What could buy a gallon of gas at $1.50 now is $3. But it's the same. You're making the same amount of money. It's just the prices have gone up, okay? That's what's happening. You're not. If you have saved and saved and saved. If you are saving in dollars, you could be in real trouble. Please find out if gold or silver is right for you. I want you to go to Lear Capital. Lear Capital. Just call them at 800-957-Gold. 800-957-Gold. Do it now. Station ID. So Secretary Rubio is going on, and he talks about what's happening in Germany, what's happened in England, and then he says Americans are familiar with these tactics. Indeed, a similar strategy of censorship, demonization, and bureaucratic weaponization was utilized against President Trump and all of his supporters. What this reveals is that the global liberal project is not enabling a flourishing of democracy. Rather, it is trampling our democracy and Western heritage along with it, in the name of a decadent governing class afraid of its own people. Our concerns are not partisan, but principled. The suppression of speech, facilitation of mass migration, targeting of religious expression, and undermining of the electoral choice threatens the very foundation of the transatlantic partnership. Do you hear this? We are now putting Europe on notice. And good. This is critical that we do this. And you know what? If you're A Democrat you would have been for this. You've changed. Okay, I've changed. I used to be. For much more of this globalist crap. It's wrong. It doesn't work. Most likely, if you were a liberal, you were against it. You were against all these endless wars. Why are you. What new information have you gotten that changes your point of view? I can tell you what information changed me from that globalist to somebody who is now looking at this and going, look, they're violating all of our constitutional rights. And both parties are engaged in it. One's worse than the other, but both parties are engaged in it. I can tell you why I changed. Why did you change? What new information took you away from those eternal truths anyway? A Europe that replaces its spiritual and cultural roots, that treats traditional values as dangerous relics, and that centralizes power in unaccountable institutions, is a Europe less capable of standing firm against external threats and internal decay. To this end, achieving peace in Europe and around the world requires not a rejection of our shared cultural heritage, but a renewal of it. Secretary Rubio has made it clear the State Department will always act in America's national interest. Europe's democratic backsliding not only impacts European citizens, but increasingly affects American security and economic ties, along with free speech rights of American citizens and companies. Our hope is that both Europe and the United States can recommit to our Western heritage and that European nations will end the weaponization of government against those seeking to defend it. We will not always agree on scope and tactics, but tangible actions by European governments to guarantee protection for political and religious speech, secure borders, and fair elections would serve as welcome steps forward. The United States remains committed to a strong partnership with Europe and working together on shared foreign policy goals. However, this partnership must be founded upon our shared heritage rather than globalist conformity. Our relationship is too important, our history is too valuable, and the international stakes are too high to allow this partnership to be undermined. Therefore, on both sides of the Atlantic, we must preserve the goods of our common culture, ensuring that Western civilization remains a source of virtue of freedom and human flourishing for generations to come. That came from our State Department. You have got to check out what Rubio and the State Department are doing on their new sub stack.
