You probably heard Relief Factor commercials where somebody says to his spouse regarding his pain, you don't understand, it's gone. Well, Sharon told us that's exactly how she feels. She wrote to me and she said, glenn, Relief Factor has helped me so much, I plan on taking it for the rest of my life. I'm a walking testimonial. For me, it was more like Tanya twisting my arm to give Relief Factor a try. I heard about Relief Factor, all natural, created by doctors, blah, blah, blah. I really agreed to try it. Not in thinking it would work. I just, I just wanted to get her to stop telling me to do something and prove her wrong. Well, she was right again, of course. And I got my life back. Not only did I not have to live in pain, I could thrive again. If pain has been holding you back, maybe it's time you found out why so many people, just like Sharon, just like me, make Relief Factor part of their daily routine. Two out of three people who try it go on to order more month after month. I'm one of them. Try the three week quick start today. See how it works for you.

Hello, my name is Chaz. I typically anchor on NPR in San Francisco, and I'm so happy to be filling in for Glenn Beck today. Today we will discuss why taxpayers should pay for gender reassignment surgery. We will ask, why was Nancy Pelosi the greatest speaker of the House of all time? And yes, queen and his milk a symbol of white supremacy also. Yes. And in case you don't know, I'm messing around. Hey, everybody. I hope you haven't had a heart attack or pulled your car over to the side of the road. My name is Trey Radle and I am filling in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program. And I'm really excited, in case you cannot tell. So before we begin today, I just wanted to kind of give you a little bit of an intro of who the heck I am if we've never met before and kind of go through just a little bit of my, my life and my perspective before we begin. So first of all, I host a show here in the free state of Florida on 92.5fox news right here in the Fort Myers Naples area of southwest Florida. I'm a husband, I'm a dad to three incredible kids, do a bunch of of other stuff in the media and in politics. And I have had a Pretty wild life full of, of ups and downs. And I again, share this to let you know kind of where I'm coming from. So I've been a TV news reporter, a TV news anchor, built and sold a small business also in the media world. But I'd always wanted to serve in Congress. I'd always wanted to serve the country in some way. And so years ago, a lifetime ago, in my 30s, I ran for the United States House of Representatives right here in southwest Florida. In fact, you may even know our current congressman, Byron Donalds, who's been making national headlines. He's running for governor now. And I ran more than a decade ago. I was the underdog. I'd never run for anything in my life. And I won. And I served in the House of Representatives. And this is where I share a bit of a commonality with the man we all know and love, Glenn Beck. I hit a pretty dark period in my life at that time, and I was out of control. I was drinking way too much, making terrible decisions, and I got busted buying drugs while I was a sitting U.S. congressman. So maybe you saw it on ABC, NBC, CBS, Al Jazeera, BBC, anyway, other places. And I resigned. I resigned from Congress. And it was the best decision of my life because since then, I've had so much time to do the things that I love, first and foremost, being with my kids and my wife, but also doing some fun things here and there. Being an actor, working in music, however, the passion of my life, what I love so much is politics. And what I hope to share with you today and given perspective and breaking down stories and understanding them is a perspective that I think very few other conservative talk show hosts can give. And that includes everything from a peek behind the curtain of Congress to taking you into the belly of beast of politics and more. I'm going to get the calls and everything. I love your calls. I love interacting with you. We'll get to that. First, I want to start today, though, with the media celebrating Donald Trump. I mean, quite frankly, I wonder if this should actually be a moment of silence for CNN. A new report shows the U.S. economy was much stronger than expected in the third quarter. GDP grew at the fastest rate in two years. Americans are also seeing some prices ease at the grocery store. The cost of eggs, milk, chicken and tomatoes are all down as you see here on the screen. It's gotta be difficult for the media to do that. And you almost hear the pain in her voice. What she just went through is how in fact, the Trump economy is killing it. I Mean, it is past all expectations because what have we heard for the past year, you know, one month after Trump gets sworn in, every single prediction is that the tariffs are going to kill us, our deficits are going to go through the roof, and inflation is only going to be exact exacerbated by this crazy man in the White House, Donald Trump, who dares to talk about tariffs. You know, President Trump really, I think, nailed it when he gave his address to the nation. And what I'm about to play here goes into the politics of the midterm elections. Coming up, what President Trump lays out here is how the economy is inherently tied to illegal immigration. A little bit of context here. What you're about to hear is always struck down by liberals as more racist stuff. Look, I don't know how many times they could continue calling Trump racist or white supremacist or. I mean, we've arrived at Adolf Hitler. By the way, where do you even go from there? You can't call him Pol Pot. No, I don't think very few people know. You can't call him Mao because the Democrats celebrate that. But everything that Trump has said and Republicans in general simply get shot down with, well, you're a racist. But listen to how President Trump breaks it down with no emotion, just stats and what the reality is on the ground. The last administration and their allies in Congress brought in millions and millions of migrants and gave them taxpayer funded housing while your rent and housing costs skyrocketed. Over 60% of growth in the rental market came from foreign migrants. At the same time, illegal aliens stole American jobs and flooded emergency rooms, getting free health care and education paid for by you, the American taxpayer. They also increased the cost of law enforcement by numbers so high that they are not even to be mentioned. For the first time in 50 years, we are now seeing reverse migration as migrants go back home, leaving more housing and more jobs for Americans. In the year before my election, all net creation of jobs was going to foreign migrants. Since I took office, 100% of all net job creation has gone to American born citizens. 100%. You know, Trump just simply lays it out there of what has been happening in our economy, how unfair it is. I don't know how you can vote Democrat and not recognize what he's saying there. If you are an American, you realize how utterly unfair things have been for the last several years under the Biden administration who flooded the country with millions and millions and millions of either illegal immigrants or under these ridiculous pretenses of they're seeking asylum, has Anyone ever thought about the ridiculousness of that? By the way, the fact that we open our borders, you go to a legal port of entry and you just use the one word, that's it. Asylum. You're in. It's like the secret password to get into a club, like late at night. What is? It's asylum. And what we end up with are people who claim that they're seeking asylum from countries all over the world, in fact, ones that we, like, give foreign aid to. So let's think about that for a second. You are a tax paying American right now. Maybe you're headed off to work, your money goes to countries, billions of dollars where we say, we're going to give you all this money because we support you, we're going to help your infrastructure, we're going to help you with the education of your citizen, going to help you feed your citizens foreign country. And yet at the same time, the Biden administration says, well, we recognize that this country that we're giving billions of your dollars to is so terrible, so awful that if you come here and you say the word asylum, you're in. And Trump underlies all of this. And so as we begin to wrap this segment up, you know, in, in knowing that I'm speaking to a heck of a lot of people across the country right now, including people who may be running for office that are Republican. Like what Trump has done here is taken his strongest issue, which is immigration and fighting illegal immigration, by the way. Strongest issue among Democrats included. They respect the guy for it. Independents love the guy for it. Fellow Republicans, we know the job that Trump has done when it comes to fighting illegal immigration and making sure that people are removed that are here on these ridiculous pretenses. Everyone running needs to understand politically what he did there was take his strongest issue and tie it that illegal immigration issue and tie it to perhaps the most important, which is always the economy. He took his strongest issue, ties it to the economy and says, effectively, look what I'm doing around the country. While we will certainly have the media and liberals running around saying they're racist and they're disappearing brown people or whatever ridiculousness that they want to come up with year after year after year, that just becomes white noise. What he's done is taken this issue and said, this is really about you. It's about you, the American taxpayer. I want you to have jobs. I want you to be able to walk into the emergency room when you have a serious emergency and not wait for five hours because the ER is, has to take care of everybody that's there, legal or not. And so Trump takes his strongest issue there and ties it to the economy. And this is something that I think that Republicans across the country should be doing, quite frankly. That address that President Trump gave not long ago to the nation, you know, it is important, obviously, for him to go out and use the platform to speak to voters. But I also think that he was doing two things in that address to the nation. I think he was once also hammering it to the media. Like the media will continue to attempt to talk about how terrible things are. But he's saying, nope, here are the facts. But he's also setting the stage and a message for Republicans all over the country to understand. Wrap up with this. Here's a. This is CNN bringing on a Harvard professor who knows that his job is to speak ill of the economy, but he just can't. I mean, I was surprised. It was a better number than anyone was expecting. Look, inflation's been very high. It stayed high. It has not been coming down. But, you know, people were expecting it to be above 3%. It was well below 3%. I mean, I think the president will take. This is good news. The investors will think that interest rates will get cut more. So, you know, it was, it was a positive news. There's no other way to spin it. Absolutely. Those last words are key. There's no other way to spin it. I mean, that dude's basically on air saying, look, I know that you want me to come on here and say how terrible things are and how awful Donald Trump is, but there's no other way to spin it. We're going to take a break and be back. I am Trey Radl. Super excited to be with you. In for Glenn here on the Glenn Beck Program.

Trey Radl in for Glenn Beck here. Let's get to some of your calls regarding affordable housing. Got Dwana in Arkansas giving us a shout. Hello, you're on the Glenn Beck program. Hi. I have another way he can tie.

A (17:28)

Immigration to the economy.

B (17:30)

He could say, no, illegals can buy homes and you know, Congress has to get busy. But anyway, he could say no, illegals can buy homes and get that competition out of the market.

A (17:43)

Plus the big corporations like BlackRock and.

B (17:47)

All that, they keep buying all these single family homes and making the prices too high for, you know, families to compete against. They can only buy big apartment buildings and you know, any kind of corporation like that.

A (18:00)

And we've got to get rid. The founding fathers would be appalled that the government is the biggest landowner in the country.

B (18:11)

We need to get rid of a bunch of the land that the government is holding and you know, not the national parks or something like that, but we have so much land that it's.

A (18:22)

Not being used well and whatever like that.

B (18:25)

Need to put that on the market.

A (18:26)

So that people can buy homes there.

B (18:29)

Yeah, agree. Let me take some of that apart and I appreciate the call like regarding people residing here illegally in the country and purchasing homes, to me it's just unconscionable the way that Democrats in general want to treat society on basically keeping a status quo. Okay, so you have people that enter the country by the millions and there are people here certainly residing illegally. But then you have states like California and I'm sure others that allow for people who have barely been in the country at all, have not assimilated, have not even learned customs. For example, driving, the standards of driving. They get a CDL license, okay? They can drive a semi truck. And I bring that example up very specifically because of a tragedy, multiple tragedies that we've had here in the state of Florida where you have had people residing in this country illegally who went and were able to drive semi trucks. And in both cases there was one of actually a family that I knew who were killed on I75. There was another case too of a man who came from the country of India who got his license in California. And both of these cases, both men did a U turn on the highway. Okay, obviously highly illegal. But I come back to some of the broader implications of Unfettered, uninhibited, illegal immigration. The biggest problem is that there's no assimilation. Like, look, I understand that a few things, in fact, let me even sound like a liberal here for a second. First of all, I do wholeheartedly believe that the overwhelming majority of people who want to or do come to this country simply want a better life. I get it. I'm the. It doesn't make it right. Doesn't change the fact that there should be millions and millions of deportations. But you can understand that. I also understand that when people come to the country, even if it's through a legal process, you're not going to have them speaking English fluently right away. As a guy that I speak a couple other languages, it's really difficult. And that's why you see places that still exist, like a Little Italy or things like that, like in New York City. It just comes to mind. And so you, you hear this, you see this happening, and it's people who will come, but then they assimilate in other ways. They learn customs, they learn the culture, they learn the language. And when you have this mass illegal immigration, what it ends up in, it ends up as detrimental. It ends up as detrimental to the country because you have people that end up forming their own little pockets that will never get out of it. And they look at the United States as a rental unit. This is not home. This is where they come and they leech as much as they can and then send money back to whatever country. And they, There is no, there is no intention of living and being woven into the fabric of American society. We become a rental unit. If you go rent a place versus buying a place, how do you treat it? And generally speaking, you just, you don't treat it as well as you do your home. And one of the biggest problems in this is that you end up where you have people who are not assimilating. And then you get to the other dangers of that. And, you know, for Democrats who, who are like, no, we don't need voter id, which is, by the way, arguably one of the most serious things that you can do that directly affects your other, your fellow citizens. And allowing anybody to do whatever the hell they want, it's simply does not work. And this is a major problem that we face in the United States. Listen, we're going to take a break in just a little bit. When we come back, I'm going to talk about something near and dear to my heart here from the free state of Florida, where I do a show here locally on 92.5fox news and Fort Myers, Naples, we're going to talk about the elimination of property taxes. But tolls, wherever you're at right now, listening, do you have ridiculous tolls? Give us a shout and share the most, most ridiculous tolls that you have. Whatever you've been through when you got those. 888-727-BECK.

This is Glenn Beck. When a woman experiences an unplanned pregnancy, she often feels alone and afraid. So many times her first response is to seek out an abortion. But because of the generosity of listeners like you, that search may lead her to a preborn Network clinic where she'll choose life not just for her baby, but for herself. Preborn offers God's love and compassion to hurting women and then provides a free ultrasound to introduce them to the life growing inside them. This combination brings the ultimate miracle of life to life, which is why preborn saves 200 babies every single day.

B (23:38)

That changed my life just from that ultrasound picture. I'm going to keep my baby and I'm going to keep growing and I'm going to be a great mom.

A (23:46)

Sends it out every day. Sign up today@glenn beck.com. The Days of Ash, our new series revealing the moments when civilizations turn and how to spot them. Today premieres January 5th at Glenn beck.com Trey Riedel filling in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. You can find me on x, on Facebook, etc. Trey Riedle, that's T R E Y R A D E L A Huge thank you to Glenn for today. Right now I am broadcasting from the free state of Florida. And over the years, no matter where you're at, you may have seen how the media has tried to destroy our current governor, Ron DeSantis and the fights that he's been in. I am convinced that Florida right now is the most conservative state of all 50 here. Not only did you have the auto rejection of COVID lockdowns, but we've done some pretty big, bold, conservative movements here. And now you've got the possibility of the elimination of property taxes and even tolls. I'm curious wherever you're at, my gosh, if you're up in like Chicago, the Chicagoland area where I lived for years, or New York or Jersey, or even here in Florida on the East Coast. What kind of crazy tolls do you see? The Phone lines are open 888-727-BEK. That's triple 8727 back. What kind of crazy tolls do you have? So to get to DeSantis proposing the elimination of property taxes, just for a second here, if I may, I think that one, one of the biggest reactions I hear from Republicans, Democrats, people that really even aren't into politics is, well, where government's going to get money. I want you to think about that for a second. What if you're a fiscal conservative Republican? Why the hell would you even ask that? Where, where is the government getting? Is that what you want? You want the government to just be taking as much money as possible for you? Do you really think that whether you are at the local level, state level or federal level, that the government truly keeps you in mind and responsibly takes care of each and every tax dollar? And I contend, no. I think that even in Republican controlled areas, including southwest Florida, which is deep red, there have been Republicans of the past that do things like fund, you know, give handouts, corporate cronyism to businesses. So well, we need to incentivize them to come here. Well, if it's a great place to live and to work and be in, how about they just come here? Why do we need to give them taxpayer dollars? And so I do think that even in conservative areas, certainly in this area, Republicans of the past that used to be in control in county commissions and cities here, did obnoxious things with your money. And so I think this concept of, well, where are they going to get the money? Is just, I'm sorry, but if you're a fiscal conservative, you shouldn't be asking that. You should be saying, how will my government respond to this in a more responsible way. Now let's go to irresponsibility. Tolls. Governor Ron DeSantis now is saying we should consider eliminating tolls. Tolls are the biggest symbol of government failure. There is no other way around it. I don't care where you live. If you have a toll, that is your government telling you we failed. When you break down government's core responsibilities at the really, at the most local level you can, I mean, the most basic responsibilities that they would have would be infrastructure. So your roads, your bridges, your water and safety, you could include that as well. Making sure that everybody's safe. So providing the local fire department, a sheriff's office or police department if you're in a municipality. And these are just some of the absolute most basic tenets that the government should be taking care of with your tax dollars. And so when you have a toll road, what they're saying to you is, we failed. We spent your money in all these other places, we brought in businesses, we incentivize this. We have DEI programs that we're spending millions of dollars on to just give jobs away to people who probably aren't qualified. And now you, because we failed you, you have to pay to get on your own road that should have been paid for with your tax dollars already. And this to me is just like a psychotic break among Democrats. If you're a Democrat and you're listening right now and you're over on Florida's east coast, which is totally controlled by Democrats, here's what's really happening. The rich do really well. It's like a Disney fast pass. You get to go and you get to pay more to skip the lines at Disney. Why am I gonna go wait to get at Universal to get on Harry Potter when I could get their fast pass. I'm gonna go to Disney. I don't want to wait in these lines. And so what you end up having is those poor people. The poor people get laughed at, waved at the. While rich person has their fancy little toll electronic card there and they're blowing past traffic in their Mercedes, looking over and laughing at the plebe stuck in traffic. Why I have a Disney fast pass? Why? Because government failed you. And what they've done now is say, look for those of you that have the extra disposable income and you don't want to sit in traffic, you don't want to be with those little poor people over there that you're blowing past, you can buy the Disney fast pass. This to me no matter where you live. More than likely you've been on a toll at some point and it is a symbol of what is essentially catastrophic failure of government. Their basic responsibilities are your infrastructure, your roads, your bridges, your clean water, and providing a fire department, police department to help take care of the citizens and make sure that everybody is safe. Once you begin to go beyond that. Look, I'm not a purist libertarian. I get it that you have certain zoning rules and regulations and you don't want it to be crazy with whoever's building here and there. I understand all of that, but it does not take away that this is one of their core responsibilities where they have failed you. Let's let's get to some of your calls on tolls. Oh, I'm super excited to hear from this David in California. David, behind liberal lines there, David, what kind of numbers do you put? Do you have tolls there in California? Well, first of all I'm from Illinois and now I'm a permanent Florida resident. But okay, I was involved in Illinois politics really deep in the 90s during George Ryan when he went to, went to prison like a couple other Illinois governors. But so get back to your direct on toll road. So correct me if I'm wrong, but the whole premise behind the tolls were once the roads were paid for, then we were supposed to keep a minimum toll for maintenance. If I may interrupt just real quick, any time that government introduces either a new tax or new toll, it is never ever going away, man. Right. So during that time period that I was involved in politics, you know, the toll roads up there, there's many scandals of abuse with the toll money. You know, people got caught with their hands in the till and they went to jail. And that's the problem with government, especially in the liberal states is all the controversial corrupt people that are involved hiring family members to high paying jobs with the toll money disappearing, being used inappropriately. That's the problem taxpayers have in these liberal states is if you're going to pay a high tax or a high toll, you demand perfection and accountability. Everybody. When you go out and spend your money, whether it's a dinner, buy a car or whatever, if you spend good money, you get good quality service and quality food, then at the end of the evening you're happy with what you received. The problem up there is all this money goes into these programs, especially the tollway and it's being wasted. It's, it's being, it's corrupt and no one TR system or the government anymore and all they want to do is just keep raising taxes and throwing more money. It's a dumpster fire up there. That's the reason why I moved to Florida. I'm sick and tired of it. Well said. I appreciate the call. And yes, I mean that's why we see people fleeing from California, Illinois, New York, blue states that like you're listening there right now. I just don't understand it. How do you deal with it? I mean I get it if you, not everybody has the means to just pick up and move to an Arizona, Texas or whatever. But it really is horrifying the way that hardcore leftist governments treat you their own. You know, you're the one that employs these people I lived in Chicago for years. Fantastic city. I have a real affinity, actually, for Chicago and New York City. I think it's a damn shame what's happened to them over the past several years. They've been run into the ground. Lord knows what we're going to get, though, with socialism in New York City. Looking forward to that. But the way that they abuse their taxpayers, the people that employ them, it really is a sin. And I come back to where we started here, which is right now as I'm broadcasting from the free state of Florida. Like, I love the fact that we got a governor who really, really has some guts, is the word I'd use in this MORNING TIME program versus something more provocative. And you know, he has been behind pushing forward to eliminate property taxes altogether. By the way, one real quick thing, the way that I love DeSantis when he negotiates that I think more Republicans should be doing is he starts way far right because by the way, he's got some people in the Florida legislature that are not exactly that conservative who are already pushing back against this. And DeSantis starts with a premise like number one, you never own your own home, you never do try not paying taxes, you never own it. It's going to get taken. And what I'd also come back to is what I often hear is people ask, well, where are governments going to get the money? And I'm sorry, that's the wrong approach. It should be, how can government make itself better and more efficient to deal with this and to move forward? And by the way, it makes them more accountable should they have to raise a local tax, sales tax, whatever it may be. Okay, great. Put that on the ballot and see if your citizens that employ you decide to move forward with that. And so he started with this with the property taxes. We'll see what the Florida House does, because wherever you live, I think that this could be a model for other red states. And the tolls issue, I don't know where that's going to go in the next year in our governor's last year here. But wherever you're at, I know you're listening right now, whether you've called in or not and have paid a ridiculous amount in tolls all of your life. And that is a absolute symbol of a catastrophic failure of our government. And there's no other way around it because that's one of the core responsibilities that they have. We're going to take a break and when we come back, speech under threat. And this is not a fringe issue of just AOC we're talking about Democrats that are questioning the validity of the First Amendment. I'm Trey Radle filling in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck Program. We'll be right back.

Never put your future in another man's saddlebag or your lunch. You never know where that thing's been. More Glenn Beck in a jiff. We are only a few weeks into winter and already brutal. Cold, huge snowstorms and of course, power outages. Think about this. If the power goes out when it's really cold, do you have a way to keep yourself and your family warm? Winter power outages can even be life threatening. We learned this in Texas not too long ago. That's why so many Americans are getting a Vesta off grid heater from my Patriot Supply. It's a space heater. It doesn't use electricity or propane. It runs on something called canned heat and it's an indoor safe fuel. With Vesta, if you have it stashed in your closet, you know you can keep warm, keep your kids warm no matter what. And it even doubles as a stove to cook your food in case you have an electric cooktop. The best part is right now you can get the Vesta and a bunch more preparedness gear as free gifts. When you order the winter survival kit from my Patriot Supply, go to mypatriotsupply.com Glenn See everything that's included. The offer is not going to last long, so go to mypatriotsupply.com Glenn My Patriotsupply.com Glenn.

Trey Radle filling in for Glenn on the Glen Tech program. Great to be with you coming from you here from the sunny, beautiful free state of Florida. You can find me on X at Trey Radle. That's T R E Y R A D E L. Fantastic to be with you here as we begin to wrap up this first hour. And I also, I love your calls. We were going to be getting the calls as well. 888-727-BECK Right now I want to share John Kerry with you for all of the talk that you hear about. Well, it's just the fringe left that is threatening speech. We have heard this repeatedly from mainstream Democrats of which by the way, AOC is now clearly front and center as a mainstream Democrat regardless of her at times insane and radical views. But here's someone who's really considered an institutional Democrat. Listen to this man on free speech. It's really hard to govern today. You can't. Let me just stop that guy there. Like that's the premise. That's the whole thing that you're about to hear, you know, this whole thing, the First Amendment, the most important one, it just, it's just kind of a pain, you know, I, why, why can't I tell these people what to do? Why can't I force them to comply? Why are they all so dumb? It's really hard to govern today. You can't, you know, you know, there's no, the referees we used to have to determine what's a fact and what isn't a fact that kind of, you know, been eviscerated to a certain degree. And people go, and that people self select where they go for their news or for their information. And then you just get into a vicious cycle. So it's really, really, really hard, much harder to build consensus today than at any time in the 45, 50 years I've been involved in this. You know, there's a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you're going to have, you know, some accountability on facts, et cetera. But look, if people go to only one source and the source they go to is sick and, you know, has an agenda and they're putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just hammer it out of existence. That's a heck of a closer. The First Amendment basically stops us from hammering it out of existence. That is wild. I mean, like for all of the talk about fascism and a dictatorship, like if you took those words and put them into Donald Trump's mouth and Donald Trump said that there'd be blood in the streets, like it's really hard to comprehend that you've got John Kerry there. He can't believe people self select. How dare these, these people decide what news they're gonna watch. I mean, do you know how much they would just love to get back to the days where the New York Times told you everything that you need to know and you had one, maybe two or three anchors who told you what you need to know. When we come back, why I love Democrats, why I love the aclu, that more when we come back. I'm Trey Radle filling in for Glenn here on the Glenn Beck program. You can find me on X, Facebook and more.

This is the Glenn Beck Program. Trey Rado filling in for Glen Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. Hour two coming up, just minutes, a movement to put flags and pictures of guns around us. Classrooms, every public school filled with the exact text of the second Amendment. Pictures, galleries of guns. Also yesterday, I want to reflect on a little football. I don't know about you, but part of my day was spent on the couch watching football. And I swear, like every second of every moment in football now is like FanDuel brought to you by DraftKings DraftKings segment brought to you by FanDuel. This yardage brought to you by FanDuel and DraftKings and the replay brought to you by. And I just wonder if the NFL should just end and have everything bought by FanDuel and DraftKings. How governments, though, so support this gambling. We're also going to talk about the big Powerball winner. And when we come back, why I love Democrats in the aclu. I'm Trey Radl. This is the Glenn Beck program.

The older I get, the more I think about trust. I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust and the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust. I know we're alike in that way. We don't trust a lot of people anymore. It's like we're all Ronald Reagan. Trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake. I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly. And that's why I started realestate agentsitrust.com I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes, so we built Real estate Agents. I trust to introduce you to one of the thousands of agents all over the country that we work with, that we have verified that they will help you have the most successful and good real estate transaction possible. Our network network agents share our sensibilities, have great track records, are good and decent people, and I trust them to help you with your real estate needs.

Coming in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. Great to be with. You can find me on X at Trey Radle, you find me on Facebook, etc. You find me on Wikipedia, you can find all kinds of stuff on me. Go for it. And I'm really excited to be with you. I want to begin with something that may sound contrarian, why I love or really loved Democrats and the ACLU There was a day when Democrats, classical liberals, were absolutists on free speech. The Democrats that I grew up with were the ones who were out there front and center supporting speech in every way, shape and form. Whether it was for up and coming hip hop artists, whether it was for rock and roll stars, artists and more. It was always the Democrats who were right there saying that we support free speech, free speech at all costs. The ACLU in fact, used to be the best at this, and the ACLU used to be very nonpartisan when it came to speech. In particular, you all may recall that there have been times where the ACLU absolutely took the conservative side, even Rush Limbaugh at one point, and the ACLU used to be this way. They're gone. And I think that you had a massive shift where we saw this not even so much during COVID which is where everything gets exacerbated, but really when you see the Republicans begin to win the House more often, you know, for many, many decades in our history here, the United States, certainly modern history, Republicans really didn't win the House a whole lot. And yet once you started seeing that happen more often, I'll even go back to the so called Tea Party days, which by the way, the media tried to take that term just like they take MAGA and make it a complete negative associated with horrible things and turn it into something it isn't. But once you had the rise of the Tea Party Republicans who were big and bold, but also the popularity of Fox News rising and even other channels like Newsmax, as you see the rise of that, what you see happening are those who used to stand with free speech at all costs totally abandon it now. If you're just joining us, we played a clip from John Kerry who talked about how basically First Amendment's a real pain in the butt. You know, this whole thing, people, they're just choosing where to go to get their disinformation and misinformation. And, and we just, there's just more that we should be able to do to eliminate that. And I play him in particular because this is an institutional Democrat, John Kerry. As much as you may detest his hypocrisy, especially on the environment, this is a guy who has really been kind of a standard bearer along with Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton numerous times has talked about ways that, you know, we have this First Amendment, but we need to rein it in. And now a new generation of Democrats is also abandoning core principles that liberals stood for. You know, I do think that several members of Congress in Some of my discussions have brought up media literacy because that is a part of what happened here. And we're going to have to figure.

A (48:57)

Out.

B (48:59)

How we reign in our media environment so that you can't just spew disinformation and misinformation. It's one thing to have differing opinions, but it's another thing entirely to just say things that are false. And so that's something that we're looking into. We're looking into. You know what that is, is we're looking for ways, as she says, reign in media. It's they're trying to find ways to censor. Now, we saw the ways that the Biden administration was able to do this in a really effective way while Biden was in power. Now, let's be clear here. Biden was never in power. We have no idea who was signing off on naming from executive orders to who was in charge at all. But clearly it was a group of hardcore leftists that wanted to stifle speech at all costs. And what they did was begin to leverage themselves with either the highest law enforcement of the land or the power of the White House to tell places like then Twitter to knock conservatives off, just to use algorithms to stifle their voices or deplatform people. They did the same on Facebook. Those people complied. And you saw what happened. They were doing whatever they couldn't. So what we have a taste of, and especially during COVID is the way that they would execute that and again, abandon all of the principles that Democrats that I grew up with used to embrace. Those people are gone. And for all of the talk about Trump is a fascist, Republicans are fascists, first of all. I dare anybody to even begin to define that that keeps claiming that over and over. What is that? What is that to you? Because seemingly it is the behavior that the Democrats are engaged in. And that's exactly what was happening under Biden. And you know what? When you see what's happening in Europe in particular, even Australia, after the massacre over there, after you have Islamo fascists who just decide to start shooting up people at a Hanukkah event in Australia, the talk still is about, you know, the real problem are these neo Nazis white supremacy and the ridiculousness that comes from that. But what you see statistically is that in Europe especially, and it's coming even stronger in Australia is that you have voices that are censored. And it the commonality that they have overwhelmingly are those on the right. Take a listen to this. This is a clip from 60 Minutes speaking with prosecutors from the country of Germany and how they determine what you should or should not be able to look at, listen to. And who gets fined. That's clear. Is it a crime to insult somebody in public? Yes. Yes, it is. And it's a crime to insult them online as well? Yes. The fine could be even higher if you insult some. Someone in the Internet. Why? Because in Internet, it stays there.

A (52:12)

If we are talking here face to.

B (52:13)

Face, you insult me, I insult you. Okay, finish.

A (52:16)

But if you. In the Internet, if I insult you.

B (52:18)

Or a politician that sticks around forever, if somebody posts something that's not true and then somebody else reposts it or likes it, are they committing a crime? In the case of reposting, it is a crime as well, because the reader can't distinguish whether you just invented this or just reposted it. That's the same for us. I mean, this is so insane to me. It really. By the way, this is one of the fundamental differences between the United States of America and the rest of the world. I mean, those are Western Europeans. You know, it's not like you're there and listening to some sort of dictatorship out of Cuba, China, Venezuela or whatever those are. Those are Germans. Now, I think it's a little. I think it's a little awkward, if I may, that. That the Europeans are leaning on Germans to decide who may or may not have free speech. But, hey, that's your choice. But I'm not going to let Democrats do it here either. It is unacceptable. When you go back to the way, for example, AOC or John Kerry that we heard from earlier, what they're really telling you is that they use really two pretenses here. Number one, there's harmful misinformation and disinformation. And number two, you're stupid. Let me go to the first. So misinformation, disinformation. Why don't you tell me what that is on the left? Would it be things like Hunter Biden's laptop doesn't exist, it's all fake? Would it be things like the prediction that the Biden administration is going to make vaccines mandatory? No, they would never do that. That's misinformation, disinformation. Sure enough, it's exactly what they tried. I mean, the examples of how many things that were supposedly conspiracy theories for years all became true. Like, I think, quite frankly, I think conspiracy theorists are batting a thousand when you take a look around. But they call it misinformation and disinformation. So obviously, when it ends up being things that are inconvenient for them or affect them. I mean, hell, you look at the ridiculousness with all the gender stuff in their party that was such a weird culture that they're there and they're tripling down on yes, men can get pregnant. What? How is that not misinformation, Disinformation? But I come back to the second premise as well, which is, you are too stupid. John Kerry says, you got these people out there self selecting where they get news aoc. There's no media literacy. Are you kidding? Are you really preaching to the American people on media literacy? By the way? What a condescending term, by the way. Like, did a consultant teach that? That to me is a consultant said, here's a great phrase that we're going to use. We use media literacy. And you tell people that, that they just don't get it. They're media literacy. They're not literate. And that to me actually exemplifies the Democratic Party today. Let's use consultanty words and tell everyone how stupid they are because we're so much brighter. And you have her out there saying this. And the reality is, I mean, I'm not getting emotional here, but it kind of breaks my heart for liberals out there listening right now. I have always been pretty darn libertarian and I've never been the guy that's like, I'm on this side, I'm on that side. This is my team and that's your team. There have been times where I can agree with certain policies that have been put forward by Democrats and the way that the liberals that I grew up with were just absolute purists on free speech, it breaks my heart that that party has changed so dramatically now. I mean, you know, growing up as a child of the, the 80s and 90s and, and watching the way that Democrats would take the sides of rock stars, hip hop artists to just whatever artists, and. And again, including at times the ACLU siding with conservatives, that is gone. It is no longer a part of the Democratic Party at all when you have mainstream institutional Democrats calling for what is essentially dismembering the First Amendment. We're going to take a break and be back again. I'm Trey Radle. It's great to be with you here. You can find me on X at Trey Radle. That's T R E Y R A D E L Filling in here for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. When we come back, a move to bring the speaking of the First Amendment, the second Amendment into public schools on every wall I'm Trey Reed. We'll be right back.

Meet Bob. He's 63 years old. He spent 40 years as a body man and car painter. Bob heard me talk about Relief Factor and decided, give it a shot. Bob wrote in. He said, glenn, I could barely walk. I couldn't make it up the stairs. Day four or five, I began to feel the change. But after just eight days on relief factor, I'm 75% better, I'm comfortable, and I'm thoroughly impressed. These are the kinds of transformations that are common with Relief Factor. In fact, two out of the three people who try go on to order more month after month. And I'm one of those people. I wasn't banging on cars all day like Bob, but my pain was in my hands and it was debilitating nonetheless. I couldn't paint, I couldn't write, I couldn't. I was quickly losing hope and I feared the rest of my life. I just have to live with the pain. So if you're living with daily aches and pains, relief factor might be the real deal for you. Try the three week quick start today. It's only $19.95. See how it works for you. Visit relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief 800 for relief foreign.

B (58:27)

Filling in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. I want you to envision this bunch of conservative groups get together and they say, we got a great idea. We are going to put the text of the Second Amendment in every public school classroom. We're going to do that. And by the way, we want pictures. What pictures? All over of guns, different guns. And they will be on every wall of every public school classroom. Now, you could probably even make a case for that because after all, it's part of the Constitution. Second Amendment, no matter how uncomfortable it makes certain people, is one of your God given rights in the Bill of Rights. But let's think about this though, for a second there also this group, they're talking about making an LGBT flag, and that would be Luger, Glock, Beretta and Thompson would be the guns that they'd be celebrating on the LGBT flag. Now, if you can't tell, this is. I'm just totally full of it. This isn't happening. But it's for a point, what is it with teachers around the United States wanting to put the pride flag everywhere? Something just happened here recently in the state of Florida, where I'm broadcasting from right now in southwest Florida, just north of us in St. Pete, where the state now is saying you cannot have the rainbow flag painted on public property, like, on roads. So they got rid of them. And what they did just north of us in a much more liberal area than here, is they painted all the bike racks the. The colors of the pride flag. Like, look, to me, it's just petty. And you know that they're like, oh, we got. Not only do we get Governor DeSantis, we're getting Trump. We're getting all the MAGA Republicans on this one. We're painting the bike racks colors. While it's petty, the reality is, whether the left wants to hear this or not, is that the pride flag or even the pride movement, even if it started decades ago with good intentions, that somebody said, you know what? My soulmate is someone of the same gender. Okay, Me, I'm libertarian. I don't care what you do, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else, it doesn't matter. I have friends who are gay. Whatever they want to do doesn't matter to me. Here's the reality. The pride flag has 100% become a political weapon. It is to indoctrinate at the youngest age. And it's unbelievable to me that, like, this has just been accepted for so long, because now I want to go back to, like, flipping this for a second. Could you imagine, if you're on the left, could you imagine people coming into your classroom, be like, yep, here's what we're going to do, by the way, insert Southern accent here to make it even more stereotypical. We're putting guns everywhere. Boys and girls gonna learn. Gonna learn about the AR15. Is that for assault rifle? No. Shut up. And we're gonna put pictures, and we're gonna celebrate guns. We're gonna have. We're gonna have the Gadsden flag. We're gonna have flags everywhere, all representing the Second Amendment and your right to be able to protect yourself, your family, and your private property. And the left would lose their minds, I mean, in a big way. Because what they would assert is that, well, this is clearly for political indoctrination, that you're going and you're placing flags that celebrate the Second Amendment in our. In our child's classroom, that would never, ever, ever be tolerated by the left. But then how do you expect people with certain religious values, not just Christian, by the way, Muslim, those in Islam, rejecting the pride flag? How can you even begin to assert that it's not political indoctrination when that is exactly what it is? And so you see this in all parts of the United States where oh, you can't have the flag here. Well, we're just going to go and put it up here or there. And it's always the same tune over and over that this is done for equality and pride. And again, I never question the original intentions of people that have their heart in the right place and say things like I want to be treated equally. But it is so beyond that. And when you make this comparison, when you, when you flip flop these roles of putting a bunch of gun flags in parts of the, in classrooms throughout the United States, liberals would without a doubt lose their minds. They wouldn't be able to do it. When we come back, we're going to talk little gambling, a little football. You sit around, watch any football yesterday? The phone lines are open.

The border and your kids school? Find out@glenn beck.com. A new website, a new app, a new way to understand the world we're Living in. Launching January 5th at glennbeck.com Trey Radle filling in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. Phone lines are open. Triple 87267B E C K. Hope you had a merry Christmas. Part of the merry Christmas yesterday was sitting around and Watching some football. I'm a huge fan. Even though the NFL at times has been absolutely pretentious, condescending and ridiculous in some of the cultural stuff that they've gotten into. I can't help myself. Like, my favorite thing on Sundays is to watch football, hang with my kids, hang with my wife and grill, just meet, just do manly stuff, grill, watch football, have a beer. Watching football these days, if you caught some of the games yesterday, has become one of the most ridiculous, like over saturated gambling markets that you could possibly imagine. When you like, I feel like when I watch it, it's like, let's take a look. Look at the Draft King replay brought to you by FanDuel from the DraftKing camera sponsored by Hard Rock Casino, where, you know, you could go and gamble on the NFL and you have literal shows and segments that are now all about the odds, what to bet on, who to bet on, and, and it's, it's all such a ridiculous premise on the way that governments, including Republicans, legalize gambling. Now, look, I, if we've never met before, I'm pretty darn libertarian. I, I think that like 90% of my philosophy is just leave me alone. The other 10%, hey, if you want to hit me for some taxes here and there, great. I think that a core responsibility is to protect our country. And there you go. So regarding gambling, you know, if you're an adult and you've got the money to do so, go for it. I don't care. I mean, me complaining about seeing ads way too much on the NFL or the ridiculous sponsorships. Okay, first world problems. But there truly is an utter hypocrisy in the way that our governments engage in gambling while telling you what you can or cannot do. And I think that one of the greatest examples of this is actually something that has grabbed the headlines lately, and that's the Powerball. The lotto in any way. So someone in Arkansas just won more than a billion dollars. That is a staggering amount of money. Whoever you are, if you want to be friends, by the way, I'm happy to be the, the lotto. Just think about this here for a second. When would I say this? I think there's certain things in life that we, we see every day but we don't put much thought to and it just kind of goes overhead. And then when you say it out loud, it's like, dang, that's right. So in most states, wherever you're listening right now, it is probably illegal for you to have fellow friends, consenting adults over to your house and play a game of poker for money or whatever you want. What are cards? Whatever it is. Generally Speaking, in all 50 states, there are some pretty stringent rules on what you are allowed or not allowed to do in your own home, in your own private property when it comes to gambling. And they got rules for this like you, in some states, you could get locked up in prison. Now, we always say, well, that never really happens. Well, then why is it a law? That's one of the things that. This is me now sounding like a crotchety old man. I really hate it when a reaction to. Well, they never do that anyway, about a law, that should not be a reaction. If that is in fact the case, then it should not be a law. But we have these laws that tell you if you and fellow consenting adults want to gamble, that in some states you could be locked up for that. And in every single one of those states, think about this. You pay your tax dollars to your government. You're in your state every year, one way or another, you're paying them. They take your tax dollars from you, and what do they do? They take your tax dollars and they advertise to you and they tell you, come bet with us. Get in on our lotto. You need to spend your money with us. Come gamble with us. But you're not allowed to do it at your home. And it's so ludicrous that they take millions of dollars and they create entire ad campaigns to tell you, hey, come look. And they do the funny little skits. Here in Florida, where I'm broadcasting from now, we have the Lotto Ad Council or whatever it does, does, where they have a digital campaign, a TV campaign, radio campaigns where they take your tax dollars and advertise to you to come and gamble in their ring. Why? Because it's for the kids. Which is the. Which is what you get the answer. Anytime a politician, by the way, doesn't truly have an answer for something, it's for the kids. Like that, or it's some sort of a threat to your life, right? So they take your taxpayer dollars and they've set up an entire system to advertise to you that. In fact, by the way, it's coupled also at times with PSA warnings about not to gamble. I mean, think about the lunacy of this. While you tune in to any sport these days, you go bet on anything and it's all state sanctioned. Or here in Florida, for example, we have an actual monopoly on who you're allowed to bet with. While all of that is done. They tell you can't do this in your own private home. They run PSAs telling you gambling may be dangerous, but worse, they advertise the lotto to you because it's for the kids. And they spend millions to convince you to just stop at the local gas station and pick up a few tickets every day. You know, just go there, scratch off too buy the big one, Powerball. And when they advertise this to you, I think the most hilarious part is they need to warn you about their own product that they're telling you to get involved in. You know when you watch the ridiculous like prescription pill commercials where you see it's always like a couple, by the way, has to be interracial according to today's, today's rules, an interracial couple just galloping across a field with flowers and, and beautiful music playing. And while they're telling you lovely things like if you take this, you may have thoughts of, suicidal thoughts, you may get nausea, vomiting, you may die. And that is their disclaimer. They are required to do so. When your state advertises to you, they need to tell you if you are by a product, it's dangerous. We need to put a disclaimer on here and on screen that says if you think that you have a problem, please call 1-800-GAMBLER in New York. Call 1-88-travel time, blah blah blah. And they go through 18 different states, by the way, which is also hilarious. Like, wait a second, I didn't catch that. I'm in New York. I didn't get the separate number. I can't wait, by the way, what is that? Why can't you call 1-800-GAMBLER in New York? I don't know what that is, but on every disclaimer they have a separate number there. I'll probably guess why is me simply speculating that New York just wanted to find a way to spend more money. Like we're not going to go with the rest of the U.S. here, here, we're not going with that 1-800- gambler. We're going to set up our own shop so we can throw away more money in New York. But it's so insane to me that you have state sanctioned gambling that they advertise to you to participate in. And you all know halfway serious here for a second that the realities are the people statistically who spend the most money on the lottery are people that have no business doing so. It's kind of sad when you think about it, but this to me, as I sat There and I'm watching football and all of the, again, the monopolies, the state sanctioned gambling, the way that different laws are set up throughout the United States, your own government, and I say this too, by the way, to be an equal opportunity shot taker. This is absolutely knock on Republicans as well that, that they take this money from you and they spend it to advertise you with fair warning that you know what, if you decide to get involved in this whole lotto thing. But remember, it's for the kids. If you decide then you may have a gambling problem. So you might be an addict, go seek help. Now, contradicting myself on a little bit of this, I will say that something that is interesting and worth observing as the United States goes into, I'm going to use the word liberal, but I don't mean it really in the political sense. Liberalizing more things such as medicinal marijuana, recreational marijuana, gambling. The fact is right now with gambling is that calls to addiction centers and more have gone through the roof. Now again, I'm pretty purest libertarian on certainly a lot of domestic issues, but you cannot deny the fact that they correlate that the more that you allow the legalization and the billions of dollars pumped into advertising. And again, when you see something like, you know, instant replay brought to you by FanDuel from the draft, I mean you have FanDuel segments brought to you by DraftKings and DraftKings segments brought to you by FanDuel. Oh my God, it gets confusing. But when you, when you, when you see this, what you also cannot deny is the correlation of people that have a few problems with this. Me, I've never, I've never been much of a gambler. I've been to Vegas, not in a long, long time. And again, while no problem with it, it is something that needs to be recognized as our country culturally begins looking at liberalizing all kinds of things from whether it's medicinal marijuana, recreational to, to even gambling. We're going to take a break and when we come back, Texas, I want to talk with you. Texas, I believe is settled on who will be their Democratic nominee running for the United States Senate. And that is Jasmine Crockett, the gift that keeps on giving. When we come back, we're going to play her talking about illegal immigration in this country. And I'll tell you, I'm going to have a very liberal reaction. In fact, we're going to go a little liberal. When we come back. The phone lines are open. Triple 8, 7, 2, 7, Beck. I am Trey Radlin.

Give the gift. They'll actually use this holiday. Peace of mind. Skip the sweater, skip the tie. Give people you love something that protects them. Give them a Byrna by R N A. Byrna is the world's leader in less lethal personal defense compact. It's concealable, it's powerful. And the newest Burna Compact fits in your pocket or your purse while delivering real stopping power up to 60ft. Enough distance to confidently defuse a dangerous situation without any lethal force.

Trey Radle filling in for Glenn here on the Glenn Beck Program. Great to be with you, Texas, and certainly the rest of America listening right now. Jasmine Crockett is clearly the gift that keeps on giving. She is apparently going to be the Democratic nominee running for the United States Senate in Texas. There's just a few political things that go with this. I do find there to be a really interesting aspect to this in terms of the Institutional Democratic fundraising machine. You know, when you have people like Beto o' Rourke of Texas who ran Francis is his name, or Stacey Abrams in Georgia, they raised millions of dollars. I'm very curious to see whether or not Crockett has the ability to do that, given some of the crazy stuff that comes out of her mouth. So I had to go around the country and educate people about what immigrants do for this country or the fact that we are a country of immigrants. The fact is, ain't none of y' all trying to go and farm right now.

A (79:27)

Okay, so I'm lying. Raise.

B (79:29)

Raise your hands. You not. You not.

A (79:38)

We done picking cotton.

B (79:42)

We are. Where's Mrs. Cleaver? When you need her. So what you got is Jasmine Crockett there saying that she goes around the country and educates people about immigrants and then says, we done picking cotton. You know, there's a very serious component to what she's saying here is that we have slave labor. Now, that's a really profound statement that she makes there. You know why? I'm done with this. My ancestors pick cotton no more. We now have a new slave trade, and it's illegal immigrants in the black market. I mean, what a horrible thing to say. And this is why I cannot understand the liberals of today, that the liberals of yesterday were the ones who had a heart and had compassion. You know, the black market. Do you know what that does to everything? Again, sound here liberal for a second. Like the most disaffected component of the US Population when it comes to the inability to get jobs. When you have a mass influx of illegal immigration are young blacks and Hispanics. You're screwed. You're done. Why? Because SGS mean Crockett, they done picket cotton. They're gonna have somebody else do it. How? I mean, what a ridiculous question to how many of you are out there to go farming? What? What are you even talking about? But she spouts off this kind of stuff, and it truly. It truly exemplifies what she's really saying and what the Democrats are doing. When you have uninhibited, unfettered illegal immigration in the country, it is bad for everyone. It's bad for Americans and by the way, for the illegal immigrants that have been within black markets and been in the horrible circumstances that are occasionally presented to them in the places that they work. They don't care about you. I also don't buy, by the way, I don't buy into the concept that any new immigrants to this country all are going to be Democrats. When you adhere to a legal way of doing things, I think that the place that everyone normally and naturally gravitates to is conservatism. We're going to take a break and be back for the final hour of the Glenn Beck Program. I'm Trey Radle. Be right back. This is glenn, becky, sam.

This is the Glenn Beck Program. Well, that didn't take take long. I've already received my first message from someone who I knew many years ago. That's listening. These are stupid, racist Republican talking points. There you have it. I mean that, that's what I suppose you they said, hey everybody, my name is Trey. I'm Trey Radle filling in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program. And you know what's happening, happening right now. And just one reaction that I've gotten is very typical from the left that there is no listening to data, facts, logic, reason. It's just that you are a racist. And how long have we been told that the biggest threat to the United States today is the white Christian male. Now this comes after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. This comes after multiple people identify, find as different genders, shoot up schools and churches. We're going to touch on that coming up next as well as a few of the top stories of this year. Again, I am Trey Radle filling in for Glenn Beck on the Glenn Beck Program. Back in a minute.

A (85:00)

We are only a few weeks into winter and already brutal cold, huge snowstorms and of course power outages. Think about this. If the power goes out when it's really cold, cold, do you have a way to keep yourself and your family warm? Winter power outages can even be life threatening. We learned this in Texas not too long ago. That's why so many Americans are getting a Vesta off grid heater from my Patriot Supply. It's a space heater. It doesn't use electricity or propane. It runs on something called canned heat and it's an indoor safe fuel. With Vesta, if you have it stashed in your closet, you know you can keep warm, keep your kids warm no matter what. And it even doubles as a stove to cook your food in case you have an electric cooktop shop. The best part is right now you can get the Vesta and a bunch more preparedness gear as free gifts. When you order the winter survival kit from my Patriot Supply, go to my patriotsupply.com Glenn see everything that's included. The offer is not going to last long, so go to my patriotsupply.com glenn my patriotsupply.com Glenn.

Trey Radle filling in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program. Good to be with you here for our final hours has been a heck of a ride and thank you so much for the kind messages I've either received on social media, the texts we didn't get to our local line here in southwest Florida where I'm coming to you from here in the free state of Florida has been a wonderful ride and I'm very, very thankful and I hope we get to do it again in this final hour. I want to start, start with Something that profoundly affected me this year, as we reflect on this year, and that was the assassination of Charlie Kirk. You know, as we watch the left engage in exactly what they say, they're fighting against misinformation and disinformation. As we've touched on this show, they're out there saying that Charlie Kirk was, you know, insert description, racist, misogynist, xenophobe, as they always like to use. And it's just so not true. And it's a damn shame the way that they cherry pick like 10 seconds of a larger conversation and begin to attempt to shape his legacy on the left. And the reality was Charlie Kirk was a profoundly open minded, Christian loving man. Like, when you go and you get context with the way that he would speak to people, the way that he would invite people up to talk that had radically different opinions than him. He wanted them to talk, he wanted to engage in conversation. And Charlie Kirk, paraphrasing him here, would always say, he'd ask, people would ask him, why do you do this? And he would ask, well, you know, why do people get divorced? Why do couples, they're together for all these years, why do they get divorced? And he would always point to the, the first sign of that is when people stop communicating, communicating, and would then historically go into how when people stop communicating with each other in society, that it ends up in violence. And his whole goal was to bring people together to talk and yes, to debate, because debate is healthy. It's something our college universities don't even do anymore. You're like not allowed to engage in debate if, God forbid, you're on the right. And what he was doing was something that again, classical liberals, Democrats of the past apparently used to like getting involved in debate, having free speech, sharing ideas. But they've shut that down now. And Charlie Kirk, who goes location after location, university after university, to go and have great conversation, to speak with younger Americans and yes, engage in debate. That was never hurtful. It was never attacking individuals. You would never see him directly go after someone, ever. And as he does this to try to bring people together to have conversations, they kill him for it. And you know, very quickly, I, I hate sitting here droning on about myself, but if you are just joining us here in this last hour of the Glenn Beck program, I've lived a pretty wild life of ups and downs. You can find me on the Internet, prominently. And I have been in very public positions most of my adult life. I've been a TV news anchor, a reporter, I owned a newspaper. And I've been in media, including political media, like we're doing right now. And I was in the, the House, I served as a U.S. congressman. And I look at what happened to Charlie and I know that that can happen at any time to anyone. And yet the craziest part is that to this day what we keep hearing is that the biggest threat to American society is the white male. Again, what I come back to is that this concept of misinformation and disinformation that is not based in stats, that so called Democrats, so called liberals, who believe, supposedly believed in the Constitution at one time want to shut this speech down and they're doing it by any means necessary. And in this case, the shooting and killing and very public assassination of Charlie Kirk was done to shut the mouths of people like Glenn Beck and all of the others that you may listen to or watch, even if it's someone like Joe Rogan, who by the way, Joe Rogan, not exactly conservative. He just, you know, it's crazy how by the way, the Democrats are as they see people like Charlie Kirk get these massive numbers of followings and, and others, Benny, Benny Johnson, all people who either online or radio shows from back Kennedy and more. And, and they look around and they're like, we needed Joe Rogan. You had him. You, you had him. What do you think happened? And the way that people like Elon Musk and Joe Rogan explain it, it's pretty simple. I was here, I was kind of in the center, you know, maybe a few issues here or there. I was a little bit to the left, a few issues here, there a little bit to the right. Because you know, you can't pin everyone into a little box like you believe in this, this, this. Nope, not that way. That's not life. And Rogan, the way that he explains it and Elon Musk, you're like, listen, listen, this Democrat Party went off the freaking rails. They're insane. These people are crazy. I can't associate with them, I can't identify with them in any way, shape or form anymore. And so I'm done. And as soon as you do, you know, they get attacked looking, we, we need to find our own Joe Rogan. What a Democrat thing to do, by the way. You know, like that's just an organic thing. You can't just force. You're gonna like this person now the way that they're out there. By the way, Democrats these days doing as much as they can on social media. One thing that I've noticed that kind of goes along with this Superficial belief of we need our own Joe Rogan is the way. If you, if you're on social media, go look at Gavin Newsom, Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, and a host of others. And I promise you, if you scroll through just a few of their posts, you will see them all dropping F bombs. Why? Because a consultant told him that they would be cool. That's exactly why. You know, Donald Trump, I love him. I love his sense of humor. He'll occasionally, but not that much, he'll occasionally drop a curse word here or there. And what's happening, though? Because Trump tends to speak big and powerful, and even if he's not cursing, he's using powerful phrases. He shapes language, language in a really unique way. And so what you see now are Democrats who believe that they have to use curse words to keep up. And that, to me, again, kind of goes back to this whole Rogan thing where, like, they just, they feel compelled, like, we need to be cool. We need to go and drop F bombs. Chuck Schumer, like, give me a break, dude. I've never heard you ever curse. Maybe you do in your private life, life. But to go on to social media and start dropping the F bomb, Give me a break. It's superficial, it's fake, but all of it goes along with the campaigns that they are waging against the right today. And I come back to the horrifying death of Charlie Kirk and why they did it. And it's to shut up the right. That, to me, by the way, is clearly a terror event that is to send, that is a public execution in front of thousands of people there on that campus. And by the way, not millions, but billions with a B of people all over our planet who watch that pretty much in real time. And that video, like you probably, it will never leave my head. But. But sitting back and just allowing them to try to take control of this conversation is unacceptable. And that's why I do have nothing but respect and love for the way that you see people who will not back down to this. And so, in reflecting on this year and some of the stories, I also wanted to wrap with the way that the left reacted to Charlie's death. To me, actually, I think that there are two deaths that speak volumes about the left today. When Charlie Kirk was shot and killed in front of us all. I won't play the clips now. I don't. They never should see the light of day. But there were clips all over about people cheering his death, singing songs about his death, and, you know, there's A point where you look and you get angry and you're like, you are grotesque people. You're terrible human beings. Things. Then there's another part where, like, I kind of feel sorry for you. Like, what kind of messed up life do you come from where you're here celebrating the death of, of a father and husband who died in front of his children and wife. But that's the left, the party and the. The culture of peace and tolerance and diversity. Except diversity of thought. But the other one that really gets me, that is darkly hilarious is the death of Dick Cheney. See, everybody, Dick Cheney was Hitler before it was cool. That's who Dick Cheney was. He was Hitler before it was cool. Now, for those of you that are young and listening, Dick Cheney years ago was blamed for being the architect of wars, and yet Afghanistan. Then we go into Iraq and Dick Cheney was utterly despised by the left. I mean, they were doing like, it's pretty weird too, because he's the vp. He's not even the president. It's one thing to go burn effigies of Bush, who was president during the early 2000s, as we go into Iraq, but then you got Dick Cheney and everybody's all over him. Him, he is Darth Vader that they'd say he is. He is literally Hitler. And then he passes away. And my gosh, it was pretty remarkable this year to see Democrats even on MSNBC out there talking about, well, let's say something, I'm barely paraphrasing here, like, you know, a few disappointing policies. But this guy, he came around. He came around to the truth. He came around to. And what they're really telling you is that he was on their side. He hated bad orange man like them. And therefore, because he and his daughter voted not even for someone, but against Donald Trump, it's like, you know, it's like a. It's like being in confession if you're a Catholic. All Dick Cheney had to do was come over to that side and the priests and priestesses of the church gave him a little blessing. Do the sign of the cross. Now go over to that pew and give me 50 Hail Marys and 50 Our Fathers and Dick Cheney, you are forgiven. And that is precisely what the left symbolizes today. We're going to take a break and be back. Phone lines are open. Triple eight, seven two seven Beck. That's 888-727- Beck. I'm Trey Radle. You can find me on X rayradle, find me on Facebook and more.

Here for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. Phone lines are open. 888-727-BECK 888-727 Back in reflecting on some of the other stories this year, there is one that is hilarious. It has to do with the climate summit. If you haven't seen this, what I'm about to share with you will sound like a Babylon Bee headline. If you know Babylon B, I'm a huge fan. It is center right, if not right humor. And it's all satire. And they're a great follow, by the way, on, on anywhere on any social media. And in this climate summit, the, they call it the conference of the parties, okay? That's where you've got really like uber wealthy liberals who get together and fly on their private jets and then take either helicopters or even armored SUVs to their final destination before skiing and doing things like that. And they go and they preach to you about why it's so crappy. You drive a Ford F150. You, the gas guzzling, disgusting human being you are. How dare you now let me go hop on my private jet and leave a larger carbon footprint than you could ever dream of. So this year they had the climate summit in Belem, Brazil. I've never been there, but I'm sure that it's beautiful. It's in the Amazon rainforest. And they all descend on this Amazon rainforest to talk about how human beings, especially anyone who believes that fossil fuels actually produce energy and low cost energy and do wonderful things for the world, they're there to tell you how terrible you are what you should or should not be driving. They want to go ahead and get involved in legislating your life. And if you haven't heard before, they descended on Belem, Brazil, in that area there was a protected part of the rainforest, okay? The Brazilian government deems this as protected. They lifted that protection and they built miles and miles, constructed miles of roads so they could have the climate summit in Belem, Brazil, while destroying the rainforest. Do you know how utterly disconnected that is? Like we are, we're going to wipe out parts of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest in order to make sure that we can have people fly around the world in their private jets, arrive here and drive on this newly paved road that destroyed the Amazon rainforest to talk about how bad it is to destroy the Amazon rainforest. This to me is the utter hypocrisy of the left. Left, that it's it, what it really shows is how little they believe. Let me give you like a quick example here. If you had a child with a peanut allergy in your home, you wouldn't have peanuts or peanut butter because it would cause certain death. If the left truly believed that, that we are on our way, that we are destined for extinction, that we are destroying this planet, don't you think that they might abide by their own rules and their own beliefs? And I guarantee you right now, right now, as we speak, there is someone listening that has voted over and over for policies to regulate your life. What you boat in, what you drive in and what you fly in to regulate your life while they're driving a gas guzzling car. And by the way, buying electric isn't exactly all that any better for the environment when you incorporate everything else. But remember, you could be holier than now when you drive an electric car for some people. Unless of course it's Tesla, which is another crazy story that's current over the past couple years here. The way that Elon Musk is somehow went from hero of the left to the devil and they're burning down his stores this year again. Whether you look at the torching and destroying of Tesla cars or dealerships to the way that they are destroying the Amazon rainforest all in the name of climate change and solving our so called climate crisis, I think that this year goes to show how clear it is that these people believe in absolutely nothing with the exception of one thing, one important thing for them. Control. Phone lines are open. 888-727-BECK. When we come back, why Republicans are the new Democrats. I'm Trey Radle, this is Glenn Beck.

You probably heard Relief Factor commercials where somebody says to his spouse regarding his pain, you don't understand. It's gone. Well, Sharon told us that's exactly how she feels. She wrote to me and she said, glenn, Relief Factor has helped me so much, I plan on taking it for the rest of my life.

B (104:54)

Life.

A (104:55)

I'm a walking testimonial. For me, it was more like Tanya twisting my arm to give Relief Factor a try. I heard about Relief Factor, all natural, created by doctors, blah, blah, blah. I really agreed to try it. Not in thinking it would work. I just. I just wanted to get her to stop telling me to do something and prove her wrong. Well, she was right again, of course. And I got my life back. Not only did I not have to live in pain, I could thrive again. If pain has been holding you back, maybe it's time you found out why so many people, just like Sharon, just like me, make Relief Factor part of their daily routine. Two out of three people who try it go on to order more month after month. I'm one of them. Try the three week quick start today. See how it works for you.

The American story, the days of Ash and dozens more groundbreaking series all in one place. A new world of learning opens January 5th at glennbeck.com filling in here for Glen Auction, the Glenn Beck program. And I have managed to offend some people, those on the left who reached out. No apologies. But we also have Ann in Texas offended by a little joke that I made. And I'm always willing to hear critiques and more. First of all, an. How you doing?

A (106:41)

I'm doing okay.

B (106:42)

And Ann, where are you from in Texas?

A (106:45)

Canyon Lake.

B (106:46)

Canyon Lake. Now where is that? I lived in Texas for a bit. It. Where's Canyon Lake?

A (106:51)

It's. It's in between San Antonio and Austin, but closer to San Antonio, near New Braunfels.

B (106:58)

Actually. I'm looking at it right now. It looks spectacular. It looks beautiful.

A (107:02)

Yeah.

B (107:03)

What a beautiful place. You got a big lake. That is a huge lake, too. Are you on the water?

A (107:09)

No, not exactly.

B (107:10)

You go on the water?

A (107:12)

No, no, not on the water. But we own some property like, you know, not far from there.

B (107:16)

Nice. It looks beautiful. Can you, can you. Is there like water sports, Kyrada, Jet ski in that lake? Yeah, yeah.

A (107:25)

And boating.

B (107:27)

Cool. So. And I made a joke for anybody that Missed it. Let me just recap. So basically what I said was that the way that the left reacted to Dick Cheney's death was utterly ridiculous. And it just goes to show you that they believe in absolutely nothing and agree with that. And so I said that it went with the left saying that Dick Cheney's good to go. It's almost like a Catholic priest saying, okay, you just go over there, you say 50 Hail Marys and you're good to go. It's just a joke in. Well, you know what?

A (108:05)

I don't really find that very funny.

B (108:07)

I have been listening to you because.

A (108:08)

I know you've been filling in for Glenn and I don't know if that was you last or before Christmas, but there was somebody Arizona before Christmas. But anyway, I've been a fan of Glenn Beck's like I was telling the screener for, you know, 25 years. I went to his rally in Washington D.C. in 2008 and I know that Glenn used to be a Catholic, but he's not anymore, unfortunately. And I've never ever heard anything said from, about the Catholic Church from Stu or, or Glenn or the other guys.

B (108:43)

I'm. I can't think of his name right now. So, and so I was not here. I don't know who offended you last week from Arizona. I'm in Florida. But look, I got like I'm Catholic. I, when I, when I, you know, I don't know whether what religion I don't know what Glenn. I don't know. I really don't care. Whatever, you know, he wants to believe in. You know, you stated you're. You feel sad that he's not Catholic anymore. But the joke that I made has absolutely zero to do with Catholics or the church. It has to do with the ridiculous hypocrisy of the left. And so sorry if I offended you in but I got nothing but love and. Yeah, but you, but what you did say did have to do with the.

A (109:31)

Catholic Church because you said all we have to do is go to confession and the priest will pills to say for Hail Mary's and it's over. And that's just not true.

B (109:39)

We have to, we have to repent.

A (109:41)

In order to be forgiven.

B (109:43)

And I agree with you and I think that the left. Absolutely so and thank you. Can't please everyone all the time. This what it's what the left does. The left has belief in nothing. The fact that they would. It would go and hail Dick Cheney as some sort of a hero is so utterly ludicrous. If you are Basically over the age of, I don't know, roughly what, 35. If you're over the age of 35 and you hear the left hailing Dick Cheney, you are like, no way. Like, of all people remember, Dick Cheney was Hitler before it was cool. That's how the they, they labeled him. And in fact, to talk a little bit about the political discourse of today, while Anne's got me on a roll, I'm gonna have to stand up here for a second. Like the way that they would call Dick Cheney or George Bush Hitler 20 plus years ago @ that time, that was shocking and it was horrible. How dare you go out there and use the word Hitler to describe a US sitting vice president or president. And what is it today? It's commonplace. How often do you go without hearing Hitler? They have used this word. The left uses this. You know what it is? Is Hitler is the new fascist. Fascist is the new racist. Racist is the new. You see what I'm going with here? Like, like you go back to Bork. I'm going to use even a Supreme Court nominee here. Here we go. Trying to talk with everybody from the Youngins to Gen Z, Gen X and the baby boomers. When Kennedy, Ted Kennedy was doing everything he could to stop that nomination for that Supreme Court Justice. That is when then they brought out the big guns. And the big guns were, that man is a.

A (111:52)

Racist.

B (111:54)

He. And I think about that for a second. You say this white guy, this is really heavy at the time, hates black people. And now it is so abused and so overused. It's just white noise. But the reality is using a term like Hitler has significant connotations. And if you're, if you're Jewish, faith listening right now, especially if you're on the left, how do you even tolerate that, that every week you've got someone on the right being called literally Hitler. And by the way, one of the most important things that I want to stress here, as we've talked for now more than two and a half hours, is when we talk about the left clamping down on the First Amendment, wanting to absolutely stifle speech, or we talk about the left overusing and abusing the word Hitler. These are not. This is not fringe. It's not fringe at all. It's all the time. It's the most mainstream institutional Democrats that you could possibly imagine. And they use it so much that what it's effectively done, it's made the history null and void. Nobody cares anymore. Hitler, what is he? I mean, you've got an entire generation growing up, up that just thinks that Hitler is a term like, well, you're a dummy. Think about that for a second. I'm, I'm not even being hyperbolic here. Like, it is used so much that you've got a generation of Americans that hear words like Nazi and Hitler and it registers on the scale of, well, you're kind of stupid. And that is not only a profoundly ignorant way of that our country is going, but I would also say dangerous. And the way that, that you look at all of this and the way that it unfolds is, to me, it's so clear that the Democrats have so radically gone away from their roots of liberal, classical, liberal beliefs in speech, where they were the speech purists to now they're the ones out there saying that the First Amendment and media, online, on radio, what you're listening to right now on tv, anyone on the right is out there telling you misinformation and disinformation and they need to be shut down. I cannot stress enough that all of my years of growing up and being a political nerd, since I was probably 12 years old, old, total nerd, one of the things that I so thoroughly respected about the Democratic Party was their absolute commitment to free speech. And now they're using these terms like Hitler, like Nazi, to be able to shut down your free expression. And this is something that's near and dear to my heart as, as somebody who is a free speech purist, as someone who, and again, if we haven't met, I've worked in media. I have been a journalist. I've worked as a TV news reporter, a TV news anchor. I've worked on radio. Right now I'm broadcasting to you from Florida, where I do a show every night here on 92. 5 Fox News. And it is not only profoundly ignorant and offensive the way that they're out there utilizing these terms, Hitler and Nazi and then in the same breath, saying, saying that there needs to be speech that is stifled, actually engaging it under the Biden administration. But you know what I come to, in some ways, as I used to love the liberals who were absolutely stuck on, on being free speech, absolutist. What's happening now is a profound cultural and generational shift from leftism to conservatism. And if there's anything that, as we begin to wrap up the show and this hour, that I hope that people, including the politicians of the Republican Party, that they recognize what Donald Trump has done is that he has ignited a cultural and generational shift of people from the left, left to the right. And I, I don't think that gets done without Trump. And, and by the way, what I would also say are some of the people in the Republican Party that have been, you know, for lack of better words, kind of Trump inspired or they, they've learned how to, you know, not accept the ridiculous premise that the media sets out there to bait them every damn time about being a racist, this and that, but how to stand up for themselves and, and notably how to stand up for their policies. I served in Congress, and one of the more disheartening things that I would see from time to time is where Republicans would go behind closed doors and they would be like, this is the policy we're introducing. Here's what we're going to do. They get really excited, be like, now we're going to go out, we're going to tell the world. And we get out from a closed door meeting in the moment that the media would set up some sort of a question that I'm paraphrasing here and being a little, a little bombastic, but. So you want to do this policy, Mr. Speaker or Mr. Republican, Mrs. Republican, why are you racist? And the moment that kind of older guard of Republicans hears that, they back down. Oh, no, no, I'm not, I'm not saying that. No, I'm not racist. But they'd be baited into it and they backed down and that we cannot stand for anymore. And that is why I'm telling you, you that Republicans are the new Democrats. When we come back, I'll explain what the heck I'm talking about. There is a massive cultural and generational shift that's happening right now. I'm Trey Radle. You can find me on X at Trey Radle filling in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. We'll be right.

Beck. The older I get, the more I think about trust. I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust and the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust. I know we're alike in that way. We don't trust a lot of people anymore. It's like we're all Ronald Reagan. Trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mist. I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly. And that's why I started realestate agentsitrust.com I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes, so we built real estate agents I trust to introduce you to one of the thousands of agents all over the country that we work with, that we have verified that they will help you have the most successful and good real estate transaction possible.

Agentsitrust.Com. Troy Radl Fil Going in here for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. You find me on X find me on Facebook, etc. Trey T R E Y Radel R A D E L as we wrap up this, this wonderful show here, huge thank you to Glenn Beck. I said before we took the other breakout Democrats are the new Republicans. And here's what I mean by that. Right now there is a profound generational and cultural shift left to the right. And look there are times, I don't want to be too black and white here that some of it just has to do with how repelled people are against the left. But you really look at if you're over the age of roughly 35 and whether you are a baby boomer or a gen X for all of modern American politics, the left, they were the cool kids in the room. They were the one, they were the rock and roll stars. I mean baby boomers, you listening right now. It was your generation with kind of awesome music coming out of the whole hippie movement, the leftist movement. But I mean even if you go through time of even like hip hop or rock rage against the machine, they were always supposedly the cool kids in the room and now they are insufferable. Karen's they're the worst. Like if you're going to a party, you do not want to be pinned down late at night with some leftist talking your ear off about anything from the weird gender things or whatever, the weird cultural things that they, that they are incessant on. The reality is is that there is a massive generational and cultural shift underway. I think that that a load of it was sparked by the flame of Donald Trump that he ignited this and I would highly recommend that Republicans continue to learn from what, from the tone that he has set. Look, Trump can absolutely pop off and say some either bizarre things, even offensive things. But what is consistent about Trump is standing up up for what he believes in even if it's not popular among Republicans. And for far too long Republicans have been the weak ones that backed down the moment that somebody throw out the premise of racist, misogynist or whatever it was. And Republicans need to learn to stand up for their policies and what they believe. And I do believe that many governors and other members of the House and Senate have learned from this. But the cultural and generational shift right now is very, very real. The Democrat and culture is the electricity current of politics. It's culture that ignites the political shifts that we see. And it's happening right now. And with that, I say to the right, stand up to the man, fight the power and rage against the machine. Because what we learned certainly during COVID and what we've even talked about these last three hours, it's Democrats who are trying to assert control over every aspect of your life through legislation or the cultural things like we're going to cancel people, we're going to dox people, and no more. And those, those phrases, by the way, are cross generational. Stand up to the man, hippie movement, fight the power, public enemy, hip hop, rage against the machine. They're all now these weird, insufferable Karens. That does it for us. I'm Trey Radle. Great to be with you today. You find me on X and more at Trey Radle. A big thank you to Glenn. That was the Glenn Beck.
