Glenn Beck, John Solomon, and Clay Travis dissect James Comey's potential perjury trial, citing handwritten notes from "burn bags" and emails with Daniel Richmond as proof of lies regarding Russian collusion. They analyze Andrew Yang's New York election victory fueled by Muslim and Marxist funding, contrasting it with Trump's appeal to disaffected young men. The discussion expands to a broader clash of civilizations, arguing Western apathy toward Islam threatens Judeo-Christian pillars, while also addressing a stalled investigation into the January 6th pipe bomber and an Indiana lawsuit over immigration enforcement. Ultimately, the episode frames these events as evidence of deep state manipulation and cultural surrender. [Automatically generated summary]

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

GoodRanchers, let's get back to the American table.
John Solomon is with us.
He is the CEO and editor in chief of Just the News.
If you don't check that every day, you are really missing out on a great news site, justthenews.com.
John, I have made a promise to my audience a long time ago.
I do my best not to waste their time.
And as I am looking through the things I want to talk to you about, I have to start with this question.
Is any of this going to mean anything in the end?
Or is this, are we just spinning our wheels and wasting our time talking about how deep this scandal with James Comey is becoming?
That is a great question, and I don't think history has answered it yet.
It will really depend on the tenacity and the focus of the Justice Department, the prosecutors, and the jurors that are going to catch these cases, right?
Are they willing to rise above politics and say we don't want an FBI that goes after people based on their political color, not the quality of the evidence against them?
And that is what began in 2015 on James Comey's watch.
A different type of FBI that seemed to go after Donald Trump and his associates regardless of evidence and protect Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden, even though the evidence against them was pretty strong, as we ultimately found out from the IRS whistleblower.
So we don't know yet.
Listen, these are going to go to trial if the judge lets them go to trial.
The judge in the Comey case seems to be giving the prosecutors a hard time there already, but that's going to be litigated.
It's probably going to go up to the appeals court and the Supreme Court.
These are going to be long battles.
But the question for everyone is, is the fight worth it?
I think if you don't punish the people that created this mentality, you have deafened America for a long time.
Banana Republic prosecution arc.
And I think that's not what Americans want.
They want to be able to say the FBI is above politics.
It hasn't been in the last decade until maybe the last few months under Kash Patel.
Okay, so let's talk about what the new evidence is, the burn bags, the hidden rooms, and the evidence that now has been found that shows Comey looks like he was lying to Congress when he said, no, I didn't know anything about it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So let's remind people what the alleged lie is, what he's been accused of and indicted of lying.
He told Congress in 2017 and then reaffirmed unequivocally in 2020 that he never asked any of his staff to anonymously leak or provide information to the news media.
The government, Kash Patel, found significant documents that go to the contrary.
Found these under John Durham, but they chose not to go after James Comey.
So in the Bill Barr administration, they knew the same evidence and they didn't go after him.
But what is the lie?
He told Congress, I didn't two things.
One, I never authorized anyone to leak to the media anonymously about the Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump cases.
And two, I don't think I knew anything about an intelligence intercept that Hillary Clinton was setting up a fake Russian collusion hoax that we ended up investigating.
Well, what we now know, first, is that his own emails with his own top lieutenant, Daniel Richmond, a former lawyer who he brought in as a special government employee of the FBI, that he's an FBI employee, show that James Comey told Richmond, good job, and make them wiser as he was briefing them on how he was anonymously trying to spin the New York Times and provide information to the New York Times about the Hillary Clinton case.
So directly on point to the testimony he gave.
I didn't authorize anyone to leak about Hillary Clinton.
And their emails show his guy was leaking and he was affirming it and say, go ahead and even encouraging him to make that reporter wiser.
In other words, give them more information anonymously.
So that's the first second lie.
Right.
And by the way, a grand jury bought that evidence and said, we believe he lied.
Now there's a second piece to it.
And that is what we call the Clinton plan intelligence.
Was Comey, as John Brennan claimed and as other evidence showed, did Comey know?
Did he pay attention?
Did he have some awareness that as his FBI was starting to investigate the Russia collusion cruise, the hoax, that Hillary Clinton had been intercepted or her people have been intercepted showing that she approved the plan to create this hoax?
He said, doesn't ring through me.
I don't think I knew about it.
Well, in a locker, in a burn bag, they found some handwritten notes of James Comey that appear to include the briefing from John Brenning, where he clearly knew that Hillary Clinton had been intercepted, approving, or her team had been intercepted, saying she approved this plan to hang a fake Russian shingle on Donald Trump's campaign house.
Now, those are handwritten notes.
Yeah, that is in his handwriting that he clearly understood.
And so now you've got him on two really significant lies that show that this whole thing was they were in collusion with one another, and all of this was bogus, and they knew it from the beginning.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
And that's why, you know, when you look at this, and then let's take the third back of this.
Those notes were never produced in earlier subpoenas to Congress or other investigations.
They were found in a room where it appears, according to the government, there was an effort to get rid of or hide this evidence.
So it had been hidden from prior subpoenas, according to the government, according to Lindsey Halligan's prosecution.
And then June, it looked like they were in burn bags and almost burned, meaning they would never be there.
Now, some other people said, oh, well, there's electronic records of it.
It turns out, according to the government, there was no electronic record of the notes, meaning if they had been burned or destroyed or hidden, we would never have had them.
Now, why would James Comey want to lie about this?
Because as we see in these same emails, it appears he had a motive.
His motive, as he wrote his colleague, is, I fully expect to be working for president-elect Hillary Clinton.
He's talking this way before the election in 2016.
He thought Hillary was going to be his boss.
And as he wrote Dan Richmond, he said, I think Hillary Clinton will be, quote unquote, pleased by the way I handled her email case.
In other words, he deep sixed it in July.
He reopened it and cleared her a second time.
And when the smoke cleared, Hillary would like him and keep him on as FBI director.
That is the insinuation of those notes.
So if he was in bed with a respect before.
I want to give the exact phrase he wrote.
A president-elect Clinton will be very grateful.
Yeah, grateful.
I'm sorry.
Right.
You're right.
Grateful.
So he expected that to be the outcome.
If that's his mindset in the fall of 2016, and he opens up an investigation on Hillary Clinton, what we now know to be a ruse, bad evidence, an agency had to lie to the FISA court to get the FISA warrants.
If his motive was that or his thinking was that, he probably is not going to want to admit that I was warned that maybe this was all a joke before I allowed this investigation to go forward, before I affixed my name to a FISA warrant that the courts have now said was misleading, false, and violated the law.
So that is the context in which the prosecutors are going to try to bring this case.
Now, it's going to be in Northern Virginia where there are a lot of federal workers and a lot of anti-Trump sentiment.
Can they get a conviction?
We don't know.
But is it worth trying to do it?
Most people I talk to say yes, because the alternative is you have by inaction sanctioned it, which is what Bill Barr and John Durham did by not bringing this prosecution in 2020.
Yep.
All right.
Can I switch topics?
There's something that came out today.
James Comey's daughter and the Epstein case.
Apparently, James Comey's daughter sent a message to Epstein that if you don't even have to prove it, but if you can show us anything that ties Donald Trump to this, it's going to go a lot easier for you.
Can you give me this story?
Yeah, I've seen it.
I've not been able to corroborate that.
So I'm always in this world of media today.
I try to be super careful because it's hard to know if things are true or true to dig in.
I haven't found anyone yet who seems to know the proof on that.
It's possible.
Who knows?
I mean, prosecutors make these sort of deals all the time.
And as we know, it seems in the last decade or two, I think when you've got to go back to the era of the Ted Stevens prosecution, the IRS pursuit of conservative groups, and maybe the prosecution, which turned out to be malicious and wrong of Virginia Governor McDonald.
There's a culture that began at the beginning or around the time of the Obama era where winning for prosecutors is more important than winning fairly or on the strength of the evidence.
And that's why these cases ultimately got overturned.
That mentality exists in the Justice Department.
And then when you add the nature of politics, the Trump derangement syndrome that seems to come in in 2015, you have a very dangerous prosecutorial and law enforcement system that's easily weaponized and can easily cheat.
And unless you got multi-million dollar lawyers, you're probably going to get hosed because very few people are going to find the grounds to overturn this.
And that is the crushing power of the state that Jim Jordan talks about, Chuck Grassley talks about, that Donald Trump wants to reform.
Fixing a Weaponized Justice System00:02:48
And I don't know in this case whether Mrs. Comey did, Ms. Comey did this or not yet, because I can't find anyone that can confirm yet.
But if I do, I'll come back to you.
But the scenario that's described does go on, and we've seen it, and it's very, very troubling.
There's a case coming up soon in New York where the SEC has to admit that there were journalists writing fake stories that then were used to justify investigations of companies, some of them conservative.
This system of cheating to get a consequence regardless of whether it's warranted is something we all got to take a deep breath and start to really fix.
We've got to fix it, or we're not going to be any different than Venezuela and Iran.
I will tell you that I'm so glad to say that you said I can't confirm this.
I haven't found a source to confirm it.
Because when I read that story, it looks as though one of the people that is telling this story is the guy who is in jail with Epstein, who would also have motive for making something like this up.
So, you know, I don't want to exonerate her, and I don't want to condemn her.
I just want the truth.
And he doesn't seem like a reliable source.
Yeah, I think we got to go get the evidence and try to see if it's true.
Listen, it's a lead.
It's something that someone has said.
Let's check it out and true, find out if it's true.
We learned that Russia collusion wasn't true.
I think we're going to learn that most of Ukraine impeachment wasn't true.
And I think today we just got to dig in first, get the facts.
But we will do that.
I promise I'll get back to you as soon as I know what I can find out from the government.
Yeah.
Thank you, John.
I appreciate all your hard work.

Let me tell you, we all have that one drawer that proves, you know, we like to be ready, the flashlight, the batteries, roll of tape, maybe even a candle from 1997.
But here's the funny thing.
We prepare for almost everything except our own health.
If the power goes out, you're set, right?
Internet goes down.
You've got a plan.
But if your prescription runs out or you need antibiotics and you can't get them right away, what do you do?
It's not in your emergency drawer.
It has a big blind spot.
This is one that really matters.
Jace Medical fixes that.
I have looked for this solution since I started preparing and trying to have emergency supplies.
I'm like, what about medicine?
The American Dream vs. Health00:05:14

10 seconds coming up in about 40 minutes.
We have an update on the story that we were telling you about yesterday.
It's, I think, one of the biggest stories of my lifetime.
Should it be true?
And we'll get an update on that coming up in just a little while.
You don't want to miss it.
I don't know if you saw the visualizing the American dream, Stu.
You know, what the American dream actually is, is that you can forge your own way.
You can, you know, you can have a scrap of land and grow your own food if you want.
You can, you know, go to school, not go to school.
You can find a job.
And if you're qualified for it, you have, you know, an equal chance of getting it, you know, based on merit.
But the percentage of Americans who say their dream, the American dream is retirement is 86%.
Healthcare, 86%.
Owning a home, 85.
Raising two kids, 78.
Owning a car, 72.
Vacations, 71.
Pets, 66.
A wedding, 55%.
That's the American dream I can get married.
The American dream, if that's what you think, they've now estimated the cost per household over the cost, over the lifetime.
Retirement is $1.6 million.
Owning a home now, 30-year mortgage, 20% down payment is $957,594.
Owning a car, buying and financing two new cars every 10 years is now $900,000 over your lifetime.
Raising two kids to 18 plus four years of public college, $876,092.
Two kids.
Healthcare over your lifetime, spending from ages 22 to 85, $414,000.
Vacations, annual vacation from 22 to 85, $180,000.
One dog and one cat for 11 to 13 years is $40,000.
That's more expensive than a wedding.
The engagement ring, the ceremony, and the reception is now estimated to be $38,200.
There's a reason socialism is doing well.
You look at that and you're like, wow.
I mean, if that's the American dream, and for a lot of people, that is the American dream.
That's not what the American dream is supposed to be.
But, you know, once Woodrow Wilson and FDR got a hold of us and they started advertising, it became stuff.
Instead of freedom, it became stuff.
And, you know, when there's a new report out, let me see if I have that.
There's a new report out now that shows first-time homebuyers made up just 21% of the home purchases.
That's the lowest on record.
The typical age of repeat buyers hit an all-time high of 62.
The median down payments reaching 23%, the highest since 2003.
And also, where is it?
The last one is the median age for first-time homebuyers.
In 1981, it was 29 years old.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, 29 years old.
In 2021, it was 33 years old.
What is it this year?
Median age, first-time homeowner.
40.
You're 40 before you can buy any kind of home.
That puts these things that people want, dream about out of reach until you're 40.
You know, 29 is one thing, but if you're not seeing, you're not seeing, you know, your life really kind of settling down until you're 40, I can understand why you're like, you know what?
Why Young People Lack Patience00:02:42
This system doesn't work because you've never seen it work.
It's betrayed you.
Or so you've been sold.
It's betrayed you.
And everything is being pushed out of your reach.
And when you're young, the one thing you are not is patient.
And at 40, I can see why people are not, you know, yeah, well, socialism neat because capitalism isn't working.
How would you respond to that?
I mean, it's more lengthy than we have time for, but I would say that the response to, you know, you thinking that you want a home is not to embrace an ideology that murders 100 million people.
That's not a good answer to the problem that you think you have.
But they're not learning that anywhere.
They're not, that is our responsibility to teach those things because they're not learning it anywhere.
Back in a minute.

Communism vs. Free Market00:11:54
You know, we've been talking about, you know, socialism and Donald Trump is getting pilloried in the press for calling Mamdani a communist.
And I find this ritual here that we're going, you know, through is just, you say the word socialist.
And, you know, 25 years ago, when I said that these people were socialist, everybody said, oh my gosh, you can't call them socialist.
That's all.
I said, the mask is going to come off.
They can't wait to tell you that they're socialist.
Now Donald Trump said, you know, Mamdani is a communist.
And everybody is like, oh, my gosh, look at this hysteric from the Cold War.
He's just, he's out of a Cold War radio drama.
So let me just clear this here because the difference between the two terms, you know, is really not some great firewall of virtue here.
As if one leads to like Scandinavian candles and the other one leads to gulags.
That's not what's happening.
What we've forgotten here is what always is forgotten, and that is how Karl Marx actually talked and saw the two.
He didn't draw, you know, polite little distinctions.
He described socialism as the transition, the necessary scaffolding that leads to communism.
That's Karl Marx.
So socialism for Karl Marx was the road, not the destination.
Communism is the end of that road.
He wrote an essay, The Critique of Gotha program.
And Marx said, under socialism, from each according to his ability to each according to his contribution.
Under communism, to each according to his needs.
The only difference here is timing.
It's not philosophy.
It's not goals.
It's just how far along the revolution you are.
Okay.
Socialism is the bridge to communism.
According to Karl Marx, don't take it from me.
Communism is the completion of socialism.
It's the antithesis of a free market system.
Even Lenin called socialism the first and necessary phase of communism.
So it's not partisan rhetoric, okay?
This is the literal architecture of Marxist thought.
But can we get out of the theories of all of this?
History gives us warning much more vivid than any theory.
You know, we like to imagine that the worst horrors of the 20th century came from one beast alone.
And we think that's Hitler, but actually a bigger beast was Stalin.
But if you want to look at Germany from 1930 to 1945, you see something really uncomfortable.
A socialist movement that curdled into something monstrous while it never called itself communist.
In fact, the Nazi government, the National Socialists, the Nazis, were not communists.
They were against the communist.
They killed communists.
But they shared the same foundational belief that the individual is disposable and that the state defines the truth.
They both believe that rights are not given by God, but administered by political power.
And that dissent on any of this has to be crushed for the good of the collective.
That is that's the definition we should care about.
Socialism doesn't have to go full Marx communism to become catastrophic.
It just has to replace the individual conscience with the will of the state.
And don't you see that's what's happening here?
They'll crush you.
They'll destroy you.
You disagree with them.
They'll destroy you, even if you've been on their side.
I'm going to share a story with you of something from 1979 that happened that I don't think most people understand.
And in New York, you better understand this.
When a society accepts the premise, that premise, history shows the slide can accelerate from a utopian promise to industrialized cruelty, horror show, like that.
Germany saw it.
Russia saw it.
China saw it.
Cambodia saw it.
North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba.
I mean, it's all right there, just different flags, different slogans, but it's the same structural error.
So can we stop with this mocking of the language?
You know, people laughing.
Oh, he said Mamdani is a communist, but he's just merely a socialist.
You're missing the point entirely.
The issue is not whether the label is technically perfect.
The issue is the philosophical DNA is exactly the same.
Collectivism over the individual.
State control over personal agency.
Central planning over free will.
And that the belief that human nature can be engineered by political force.
That's where it always goes wrong.
It doesn't understand human nature.
So you can argue all you want about where socialism ends and where communism begins, but honestly, that's like, hey, kids, memorize the date of this war.
Why?
Why?
I'm never going to use that fact again.
What difference does it make?
The thing we should care about is why was that war fought?
What happened at the end of that war?
When communism and socialism, we should be saying, where does that road lead?
I can tell you that the road always begins with the state controlling your choices.
It'll control your choice of energy, money, your children's education, your speech, your job, what you drive.
And it always ends with never greater liberty.
It always ends the same place in a society that has forgotten that freedom is fragile, that power concentrates, that people are the same over and over and over again, human beings.
They go bad, especially when you give them power.
When they're told they're part of a grand collective, humans are willing to commit horrors they would never do as an individual.
That's the biggest thing.
You get these horror shows of a hundred million dead because it's a collective.
We're all doing it.
I'm not doing it.
Everybody's doing it.
That's the warning.
That's historical.
And we ignore it at our own peril.
Now, the problem here is, is that socialism is on the rise and communism will be next.
Remember, when I first started talking about Obama, I was raked across the Coles every day for even suggesting he might kind of like socialism.
Now, socialism is fine.
So that road is still going to, we're going to continue rolling down that road.
And any country that goes into socialism, we're not talking about a capitalist, we're not talking about Sweden anymore.
In fact, we are actually talking about Sweden.
Look at the road they're going down now.
I mean, they're going into their own kind of authoritarian rule with Sharia law.
That is coming to Sweden.
We're not talking about this friendly socialism.
We're talking about the complete abandonment of the free market entirely.
We've been this stupid little hybrid that doesn't work.
It only causes misery.
We've been this hybrid, and it doesn't work in a country this large and a country this diverse.
But look if you're, you know, if you grew up after 9-11, where have you seen capitalism work for you?
Okay.
You've seen, I know I've seen it.
I've seen the rich get richer.
And I don't mean the rich.
I mean, I mean the really, really, really, really rich.
The ones that the Democrats never actually talk about.
They say they hate the rich.
The rich have to pay their fair share, but they're hanging out with George Soros.
They're hanging out with the Ford Foundation.
They're hanging out with Bezos and all of these other people because that is real control.
Okay.
They don't hate those guys.
They never do anything to affect their taxes.
They don't pay taxes because they have the money to put it into trusts and everything else.
You don't have that.
So when I say I've seen it happen, I've seen the rich get richer.
You know who the rich are?
Citibank.
These banks that have been taking our money through bailouts, when do we get that money back?
When do you get that money back?
You don't.
You don't.
That's why this is working.
That's why you can say socialism is neat because nobody knows the killing machine that socialism actually is.
Nobody has any idea.
Look at the killing machine.
Look at the killing machine that's being built in socialist Canada right now.
What is it?
Made is the third or fourth biggest killer.
It kills one in every 20 Canadians.
Why is that happening?
That's not out of compassion.
That's because they're running out of money for health care.
That's what that's about.
Get them off the dole.
Stop it.
Now, if they're earning a lot of money, get them in because we can still get their money.
But let's make sure they're making money.
If they're getting old, if they are cripple, if they fought in a war and just can't handle it themselves, if they're super, super young, if they've got an expensive cancer, let them die.
Help them die.
That's because they're looking at the collective, not the individual.
And that's the beginning of the dark killing machine in a socialist country.
And Canada is, you know, I mean, it has socialized medicine.
The problem is it's all failing.
Socialism always fails.
Capitalism has taken people out of poverty, solved problems, healed people, given people heat and houses and cars and airplanes.
All of that is because of the free market.
All of that is the free market.
You get rid of the free market.
You put it in the hands of governments and you have monsters, monsters.
And we know it because we've seen it over and over and over again.
But if you don't remember or barely remember 9-11, you've never been taught any of this.
You've never been taught what it actually means.
So you're seeing this play out over and over again.
Look at that guy.
I mean, look at, he's not going to have to pay a price.
He's just going to get away with it.
And he's taking our tax dollars.
Free Market vs. Government Monsters00:04:01
Okay.
I hate all of that.
This capitalist system.
It's corrupt.
You're seeing that play out in real time.
You're not seeing anybody actually go to jail for these things.
Of course you think that it does.
I don't think it works the way it is right now.
But then you're given this false utopian promise without any information.
Read the warning label on socialism.
Where has it ever worked?
Show me where it has worked.
And don't say Sweden.
Sweden is falling apart right now.
You know why?
Because Sweden, everybody was blonde-hair, blue-eyed.
They were all related to each other.
It was a small little country.
You can do it when everybody is the same and it's small.
It'll work to some degree.
But the minute you start going diverse, the whole thing falls apart.
So you want to be Sweden?
Go ahead.
Look at Sweden today.
I don't want to be Sweden.
Read the warning label.
That's our job to show that warning label.
It's our job to teach what's not being taught.
This is a death cult.
Stay away from it.
Warning.
Warning.
All right.
Let me tell you about our sponsor.
Our sponsor is Leaf Filter.

Now, they just, they just, it's just too late.
You know, once the debris and the leaves have clogged all your gutters, then you have a storm and you got water pouring over your roofline.
It goes in under the roof.
It damages your siding and your foundation, even sometimes the basement.
Leaf filter is there.
It's a simple fix that prevents all of that from ever happening.
It's a stainless steel micro-mesh system.
It installs right on top of your existing gutters.

It means you never have to climb a ladder ever again.
Not you, not the next homeowner ever.

Let me turn the show over for a couple of seconds to the old man that goes out on his back porch and screams at clouds.
Yeah.
Yes, that's me today on this topic.
Because I just, I can't take the, oh, gosh, these young people, they can't afford the things they want.
We should instead entertain their socialist pleas and act like they're rational because they don't think they can afford a house fast enough.
Okay, I'm so sorry to hear that.
You know, I get it.
Like, I understand you don't want to just dismiss people and their complaints.
But by the way, the data doesn't really back up any of this.
I don't know if anyone ever bothers to look at the economic data.
Why Young People Can't Afford Houses00:13:39
We're just going on vibes these days.
But Gen Z and millennials and below have a higher, higher generational wealth than their previous generations.
It is higher.
Yes, it's injustice for inflation in case you were about to say that.
It is higher.
They are above where boomers were.
They are above where Gen Xers were at this time.
A lot of this is overblown.
And it's funny because you started all this with like, what's the American dream?
Oh, people want to buy a house.
And it shouldn't be about that.
It should be about freedom.
And then the way we judge whether the American dream is happening is whether they can afford a house.
Like, you know, the idea of whether you own or rent is not a determinant factor as to whether your happiness is there.
I was very happy when I rented, very happy when I owned.
Having ownership of a house is not a good breakdown as to whether your pursuit of happiness is in effect.
I would have to say, I don't know if I've ever seen you happy.
So as he comes off his back porch to stop yelling at the clouds, I just have to say I think that's wholly inaccurate.
All right, let me just say when you buy Good Ranchers, that story starts on American soil with men and women who still get up before dawn, brave the weather, work the land.
Why?

Let's get back to the table.
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Hello, America.
Yesterday, I told you about the January 6th Pipe Bomber.
Steve Baker, who is a journalist for, an investigative journalist for the Blaze, has written a story naming the Pipe Bomber.
And it has now gone up the chain of command.
It was supposed to be released today.
I don't know if we're still, hopefully, maybe some point later today, but I want to find out why it has stalled.
Yesterday, things in Washington and especially in the Intel community went nuts because of what we talked about on the air.
And there is a big battle.
And I want to talk to Steve about that coming up in just a second.
First, thankfully, bombs and rockets have gone quiet for right now, but countless families in Israel, the struggle is far from over.
Homes have been damaged or destroyed.
Communities have been displaced.
Thousands of people, including the children and the elderly, are still trying to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of war.
And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is right there helping, helping families find safety and food and hope.
They're providing emergency aid and hot meals and winter supplies and critical support to those who are still recovering.
They're also standing by Israel's first responders and protecting the most vulnerable.
This is the moment when your support matters most, not just in times of attack, but in times of rebuilding, in times when I can't imagine what it feels like to be a Jewish person today.
I can't imagine.
Stand.
Stand.
Show them that we are not the Christians of old.
Your gift of only $45 will help support the life-saving work by providing food and shelter and much more.
Remember, God says, I will bless those who bless you.
Supporting IFCJ, I think, is a spiritual stand.
It's showing up for God's people when it counts, and it counts right now.
888-488-IFCJ-888-488-IFCJ.
Do it now.
Steve, welcome back to the program.
You're in Washington today.
So you have a very clear view on what is happening.
What happened since we talked last night or yesterday at this time?
Actually, you and I spun up a lot of people yesterday.
A lot of good people that are working on this that have the country's best interests at heart.
There's some not so good people that got spun up yesterday as well.
But the good people that have the country's interests at heart and have the president's mind and agenda at the forefront of what they're looking to do are continuing to work on this.
So we've hit the pause button right now.
Have they asked us to hit the pause button?
Obviously, they can't tell us what to do.
Okay.
They can't tell us.
But it has been explained very clearly that we need time basically to be sure that we have all the covering fire that we need, that they can connect the final dots.
As I mentioned to you yesterday when you asked me, what's the percentage of likelihood that we have the right person?
And I explained that with the technology we used, it got us initially started at 94%.
And then we were up to around 96 to 98% after the human analysis of all of this.
But we would like to get it to 100%.
And part of that is going to be incumbent upon keeping the right people that we need on our team, on our side.
And that means sometimes working at their pace.
This is when people hear the story, they're going to realize how deep the deep state goes.
And so much is going to start making sense.
And if your story is accurate, there's only one winner.
There's only one winner.
It's either the deep state or the good guys that are coming in and saying, no, no more of this.
Because it is from just from what I have seen, and I haven't even read the full story.
I've just gotten a brief on it.
From what I've seen, it's everywhere.
And so I'm gathering what you're saying is they need time to shore up to make sure they have the right people in place in several different areas.
Because when this hits, this is really not good.
It's really bad.
Well, it's a game changer on every level.
That's what we're looking at here.
This is not only going to be the biggest story of my career when it comes out.
But I mean, this is, as you properly identified for the most part yesterday, this is at least the largest scandal in a generation, if not going further back.
And it does go deep and it goes high.
And that's what we have to get right.
Because as I said, we spun up a lot of people and a lot of people are talking right now about what you and I discussed yesterday on this program.
I have to believe just hearing what you said yesterday and what we talked about on this program yesterday, I got to believe if the story is accurate and you were part of it, you have to be freaking out right now.
Because once you name names, there's only two ways to go, only two ways to go.
One side will be destroyed and the other side will remain standing.
Can you give me the history of this investigation at all?
Give me some sort of understanding of how you got to where you are.
Yeah, it's very interesting in that up until two weeks ago, you know, this pipe bomb thing was going nowhere.
Even the FBI had apparently, I won't say they had given up on it, but two weeks ago they re-upped the $500,000 reward.
They sent out the tip lines begging the American public to give them some tips and some leads on this particular thing.
That was pretty much an indication and a signal that they were dead in their tracks.
And then two weeks ago, when I presented it to the people that I presented it to, it was game on again.
And then things started moving very quickly.
I thought we would be at the place where we could knock this thing out of the park today.
But the history on this is very simple.
Within the first days after January 6th, I was informed by members of our actual special operations community and the military that there were more elements that needed to be looked at and more things that were happening on the ground at the Capitol than anybody had yet been aware of and had seen.
And so over the next few weeks, and we're talking about 2021 here, I began to pull some of those threads that we talked about yesterday.
And as I began to pull those threads, I became very interested in certain actors.
I then began to see the coordination between actors not only in the crowd, but actors in the police department, particularly the Capitol Police.
That was one of the reasons why that my investigations, it was my investigations into the Capitol Police that brought my work to the attention of the Blaze.
And that was when we revealed, as you recall, the trial perjuries of a couple of federal officers.
And in fact, they were Capitol Police officers, a special agent on the Dignitary Protection Detail, and then, of course, the most famous Capitol Police officer, Harry Dunn.
And neither one of them are with the department any longer.
But that was a really good lesson for us because the first thing that we did is we proved irrefutably that they had perjured themselves in a federal trial.
And nothing happened.
It was quite a locked up case, too.
I mean, you did the TikTok with the video.
He says he's here, here he is here.
He says he's here and here he is there.
I mean, it was dead to rights, dead to rights.
Anything happened with that?
Of course not.
I mean, the Capitol Police did an internal investigation.
And of course, that was not going to go anywhere because of exactly what we're talking about here, is that if the deep state gets control of this, then it's over.
And so we have to be working with the good people, patient enough to allow them to help us finish this off and get those final two percentage points in there to make sure that this is exactly what we believe it is.
Has the president been briefed on this that you know?
I do not know that that's happened yet.
I certainly would love to see that take place.
Well, if you hit more obstacles, I'd like to read the whole story, but if you hit more obstacles, I will do everything I can to get you into the oval to see the president because this story, at some point, he has to know what's going on.
Because this is, is it fair to say it's also in the White House or has access to the president?
It is fair to say that this story has an angle that takes it to the president.
That's probably as much as I can say about that right now without compromising sources.
Marxists, Islamists, and the Relief Factor00:15:16
But I will tell you this, Glenn, is that it would be really great for the president to direct a particular department or agency to take this on and let us guide you through the process.
You let me know if you need that.
I don't know if I can get you to that meeting, but I can certainly try.
Thank you very much, Steve.
I appreciate it.
Thank you, keep us up speed.
You bet.
All right.
Let me take a quick break.
Let me tell you about Relief Factor.
Pain doesn't have to be dramatic to be disruptive.
Sometimes, you know, it's just that constant low hum in the background, the shoulder that just doesn't turn the same, the back that doesn't bend, the knee that makes you think twice before standing up.
And you start to wonder, is this normal now?
I mean, this, you know, when did normal start to hurt all the time?
Relief Factor was created to change that.
It's a daily supplement developed by doctors to help your body fight the inflammation that causes pain naturally without depending on masking it with temporary fixes.
Thousands of people have found that Relief Factor helps them get back to doing the things that they love without feeling like they're paying for it later because life doesn't wait for your body to catch up and you shouldn't have to sit on the sidelines while it hurts.
If you want your days back, start giving your body a chance to heal.
Heal itself naturally.
Relief factor.
Live your life in motion the way you want to, not in pain all the time.
Give their three-week quick start a try.
It's 1995.
Visit relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief.
800, the number four, relief.
10 seconds station id if you look at the number of things that are catastrophic uh it's a little overwhelming What Steve is talking about, should this story be true?
From what I have seen, it's a very strong case, but I haven't seen the whole case.
If it is true, it will change everything.
And it's catastrophic in its impact if it's true and it doesn't.
It isn't corrected.
Catastrophic.
You look at what happened with Momdani and you tie that not just to socialism, but where did that money come from?
Where did it come from?
Well, Linda Sarsour, do we happen to have that from last night's TV show, the Linda Sarsour audio?
She was extraordinarily clear that that money came from outside sources and Muslim sources from leaders all over the world.
Sorry, all over the nation.
And I believe she said all over the world.
It came, a lot of it came from care, as in the Council of American Islamic Relations.
They're an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorism finance case back in 2007.
I don't know if you know this, but Jeremy Corbyn, he's a former UK Labor Party member of parliament.
He was expelled out of parliament because of his anti-Semitism stuff.
He tweeted over this last weekend, I'm hosting a phone bank with the New York City Democratic Socialists of America to get out the vote for Mamdani.
I mean, this was a global reach, Marxists and Islamists.
Do we have the audio, Sarah?
Listen to Linda Sarsour about care.
Right now, I'm a little more quiet because I'm on the quiet side of this race, but I'm going to tell you that once November 4th comes around, I will tell the story.
The story is not just that it's random that Zehran ascended to this place.
It is our Muslim American communities.
And I'll also say that it's Muslim money.
The PACs that have supported Zehr a particular PAC that has supported Zehran is probably over 80% of Muslim American donors in this country, high-net donors, grassroots donors.
And I want to make the point that the Unity and Justice Fund PAC, which is the CARE Super PAC, was the largest institutional door, a largest institutional donor to the pros of Iran PAC in New York.
So I was mistaken to say that she said that it was overseas.
It's all American money.
But if it's care as the largest donor, that is a problem.
And when you mix these two things together, what people don't understand, let me take you back to 1979.
I remember 1979.
I was a kid and I didn't know anything about Iran.
I didn't know about the Shah or anything else.
The Shah had been put into power back, I think, in the 50s by our CIA.
And he was a strongman because, you know, at the time, everybody thought, well, if you're going to control all of those tribes in that area, you got to have a strongman that can cobble it all together.
So he's a strongman, not a good guy.
And then the Islamic thing starts, and the Islamic Revolution happens in 1979, and it starts in the streets, and it is colluding with Marxists.
And the Marxists and the Islamists collude together to bring the Ayatollah Khomeini into Iran to take over.
The Islamists were perfectly fine with the Marxists, and the Marxists were perfectly fine with the Islamists.
But each of them had a plan.
Once we get control, then we'll get those guys out.
Well, it took two years before the love affair was finally finished because the Islamists saw the leftists as useful idiots and the slaughter commenced.
Hundreds of left-wing activists were died, were killed in the streets during protests.
The rest of them were rounded up and thrown into prison.
Within just a few months, 3,000 to 5,000 leftists were put to death inside of the prisons.
So those who were working with the Islamists, once the Islamists got their state, they rounded up those Marxists and they put them in prisons where 3,000 to 5,000 of them were killed.
By 1988, 30,000 Marxists are now believed to have been killed, execution, torture, and in the streets.
This is the way it always happens.
That's the way it always happens.
And they are cobbling together coalitions that all believe that they're going to win in the end.
And I got to tell you, if I were just simply a betting man and I had nothing to lose personally except money, my family, my children had nothing to lose, I would put my money on the Islamists every step of the way because they actually believe it.
They believe it because their God tells them this is what you have to do.
Don't bet against people who, I mean, this is why Marxists try to stamp God out.
This is why they're trying to stamp Christianity out all over the West.
Because if you have people who believe that they are trying to be on God's side, or worse, they're people who say God is on our side, then you have an army that won't quit.
The people who are playing footsies with these Islamists know that Zoran, when it comes to it, he will pick Islam first.
And she said yesterday, gave you the quote where she was saying in the press that we're going to hold him accountable.
You're either a Marxist or you're Islamist, but you're not both.
And we're going to hold him accountable.
That's, you know, I don't know.
I don't know.
That should be a wake-up call.
Unfortunately, I don't think that it is a wake-up call because we are meant to be divided.
The press. is doing a very good job, TikTok and everything else, and the left spends a lot of money to make sure that we're divided on everything.
Do you know, I think it was 64% that voted said just Donald Trump played a big role in who they voted for, and that was for Mamdani.
I mean, why?
It's a local election.
How does Donald Trump play into your everyday life in New York?
How?
It is a game to get you to look somewhere else so you're not, you become against something instead of for something.
Now, there's enough people that are for socialism, and there's enough people that are thinking that Sharia law is neat as well.
But we'll save this place only if we all wake up and go, you know what, I got to be for something.
And it's not that.
It's not that.
That's a culture of death.
I'm not for any of that.
I choose life.
I choose freedom.
I choose the individual over the collective.
When that stuff begins to take hold, and it will, if we're all on the same page and we stop dividing ourselves and we just start talking about true principles and true history, we'll make it.
But boy, oh boy, man, it is coming down to the wire.
I mean, look at how colossal each of these problems are becoming.
They're big.
They're big, and there's a lot of them.
But we're up to the task.
All right, more in a minute.
This is Glenn Beck.
Winter is coming.
Winter is coming and it's coming on fast.
And this year, my Patriot Supply is turning Black Friday into something that actually matters because when the world gets chaotic, the best gift you can give your family is peace of mind, security knowing that things are going to be okay.
Right now, their Black Friday survival special includes a four-week emergency food supply, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks that last up to 25 years, plus $150 worth of free gear.
This is really important because everybody forgets about stuff like this.
Do you have a way to cook any of the food?
You know, your power goes out, your gas goes out.
Do you have a portable cook stove?
Do you have fuel for that?
Fire starters.
Really important.
You know, they're seeing this in Jamaica.
They don't have anything.
They have no clean water.
Do you have a water purifier that is small enough to pack with you and big enough to handle the family?
It's not panic buying.
It's smart planning.
And it's what responsible people do before a storm hits.
Because when the lights go out, you don't rise to the occasion.
You fall to the level of your preparation.
Make sure yours is high.

We want to welcome to the program our fellow Premier Radio Network star, Clay Travis from the Clay and Buck Show, that is immediately following this show on many of the stations nationwide.
Clay, welcome.
How are you?
I'm great.
Appreciate you having me.
Good to be seeing you on the road quite a lot over the past several years.
And congrats on all the success you've been having and all the impact.
And I appreciate you having me on.
Yeah, thank you.
Same with you.
It's good to see you at the Hall of Fame.
You just, you put a book out, Balls, How Trump, Young Men, and Sports Saved America.
I just love that.
First of all, go over the premise here.
So I've got three young boys, 17, 15, and 11.
And there were a couple of things that happened, Glenn, that really got me thinking as I started to see the world through their eyes.
During COVID, my middle son, we walked into a target, and this is in the book.
And he said, Dad, they would never have those for us.
We were going to buy baseball cards.
He loves to collect baseball cards.
The two youngest did.
And he pointed at the front of the target.
And it was just a huge collection of girl power shirts.
And he said, they would never make boy power shirts, Dad.
And I just thought, wow, that's, you know, for a nine-year-old, that's really kind of super interesting to think about the world through which he's seeing it.
And then another thing happened soon thereafter.
One of the one of their friends was over and he said, you know, Mr. Clay, today we were in school and we were being taught that, you know, white men caused all the problems in the world and were the reason why everybody's unhappy.
And he said, and, you know, the teacher told us that white men had so much power.
And he said, Mr. Clay, what power do I have?
My mom doesn't even let me pick what I get to eat for dinner.
And, you know, sometimes in those anecdotes where you start to see the world through someone else's eyes, when you're a parent, when you see it, kids ask such interesting questions.
And having three boys, it's one thing to grow up in a world like you and I did, Glenn, which is, hey, men and women should be able to aspire to the same things.
Be a doctor, be a lawyer, be the highest, most successful version of yourself possible.
That's something that I think most people have bought on to or bought into, and it's right and it's correct.
But the idea of we have to tear down men to elevate women is the world that these young men are growing up in.
And I think instinctually Donald Trump also felt that.
And I think the people surrounding him did.
And they said, you know what?
There's a play here for young men who are disaffected, who feel like masculinity is being attacked.
And a lot of people told them they were crazy.
And also with sports fans, seeing the Leah Thomas, the book opens with Leah Thomas, this six foot three, 220 pound man wearing a women's bathing suit, winning an NCAA championship in Atlanta in the spring of 2022.
Young Men and the 2024 Election00:11:51
Sports fans and young men, they were angry.
They saw the world as not making sense.
They felt like they were being lied to.
And they saw Trump as a beacon to oppose the absurdity.
And I give immense credit because I think that's where this election was won.
I think that Trump team targeted young men and sports fans.
And in so doing, they won back America in 2024.
So he did do that.
And you don't have that cultural thing happening.
You know, it'll come back rapidly should we lose.
But you don't have that cultural thing right now.
And you have in New York, Mamdani, his election, 84% of young women, 84% of them voted for the socialist.
That's not happening with men.
No, it's certainly not.
I think there are two challenges here.
One, we have to continue to get young men to come out and vote.
They show up for Trump.
They didn't show up in Virginia.
They didn't show up in New Jersey.
In fact, a lot of Trump voters didn't.
600,000 fewer Republicans showed up in Virginia and in New Jersey.
To kind of put this in context, Glenn, more people voted for Trump in Virginia and New Jersey than voted for the Democrat gubernatorial winners on Tuesday.
So more Republicans showed up to vote Trump than Democrats showed up to elect the governors.
Second part of this, young men are becoming more conservative.
I don't think there's any doubt in 2024, young men were actually more conservative than men over the age of 65.
Women, to your point, though, are becoming even more left-wing.
How does that get reconciled?
We've never seen a age gap like 18 to 30-year-old men compared to 18 to 30-year-old women.
My hope is that we have to start to talk to young women and make them realize that the entire world does not revolve around abortion, which Democrats have been very effective at doing.
And, you know, what's interesting, Glenn, I'm a history guy, and I know you are too.
Historically, pre-Roe v. Wade, women actually voted more conservatively than men did.
They tended to be more religious.
They were more focused on house and home.
In the early 1900s all the way up to the 1970s, they were more conservative.
I'm hopeful that these conservative young men are going to start to imprint on these conservative young women because once women get married and have kids, a lot of their life circumstances and focus changes.
And so I write about that a lot in the book, too.
It's not just about how Trump won.
It's how does the coalition that Trump put together become more durable and lasting to make the country a better place in the decades ahead.
We're talking to Clay Travis, co-host of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show that immediately follows this program on premier affiliates.
His book is Balls, How Trump, Young Men, and Sports Saved America.
You know, the one thing I'm concerned about is this disconnect with the young men.
How do we make sure that they don't become even more disaffected and start going down roads that are destructive?
Yeah, it's a fantastic question.
And first, I think all of the dads, all the grandfathers out there, we have to do a better job than we have been so far.
I think, Glenn, the biggest threat to men is actually men not being involved in raising men.
And I write a lot about this in the book, too, because it is a call to manhood.
And I think for a lot of people out there that have kids, boys in particular, that they're raising.
You know what the data shows, Glenn?
That moms who are raising kids as single moms, that young girls actually do pretty well in those households because they have a strong female figure that they aspire to be more like.
And young women are not as harmed in single family households.
Young men struggle immensely because moms cannot be both mom and dad for them, and they need male role models.
And this is where I think grandfathers, this is where uncles, and frankly, this is where dads, it's easy to create a kid.
It's hard to become a dad.
And a lot of men, frankly, have run from the hard work.
And I think also this is a part where the government has failed.
You know, you go back and look in particular in the black community.
There was huge two-parent households in the pre-civil rights era in the black community.
You go back and look at the data, it's really pretty staggering.
And then in the civil rights movement, as the welfare state took over, the government in many ways tried to replace the dad of a household.
And a lot of black men stopped being involved with raising their children.
So you're talking about a world where black children were 80% two-parent households pre-civil rights to one where now we're talking 15 or 20 percent.
And a lot of those kids then grow up and become, unfortunately, major issues for the nation as a whole.
Well, you also, I mean, you create, my father told me something when I was young.
I was mad at him, you know, 16 years old and you're arguing with your dad.
And I'm like, I'll never grow up to be like you.
And I walked away and I went to my room.
And pretty soon, a couple of minutes later, it was a knock on the door.
And my father said, I'm so proud of you.
And I was made me so mad because I wanted to win.
And he said, I'm so proud of you.
And I said, why?
And he said, because I didn't want to be like my father.
But I want to make you a promise.
If you don't find a role model, if you don't find a dad that you can model yourself after, I warn you, you will grow up to be exactly like me.
And he wasn't saying that to rub my face in it.
He really did not want to be.
His father was a very bad man, and he did not want to be his father.
And so he was trying to give me a good piece of advice.
Where do you find that role model?
Because you have, I mean, you've generations now that have not grown up with a strong male leader in the household.
Well, I write a lot about this because that is a huge part of this.
A lot of them have gone online.
And I think the online ecosystem, the so-called manosphere, you can find a lot of good.
You can find a lot of bad there.
And sometimes you're finding some of both from some of these people.
I'll give you an example.
One of my sons likes Andrew Tate.
And I was like, ooh, that's a little bit controversial.
What do you like about him?
He said, what I take from him, Dad, is he says, shut up, whine less and do more push-ups.
And I'm like, you know, that's not, you know, not whining and doing more push-ups is not the worst thing that a 13 or 14-year-old could take.
Correct.
Correct.
But I think this is candidly where sports comes in to a large extent, too, because there are so many people who try to emulate their favorite sports fan, right?
Young boys want to be bigger, stronger, faster than we are.
Men want to be bigger, stronger, faster than we are.
It's why sports is so compelling.
But I also think you're seeing, and this is encouraging to me, a growth in men looking for something larger in life.
And a lot of them are finding religion.
You know, young men are going back to church at very, very high levels.
I think Charlie Kirk had a hugely impactful role there.
And so there's a desperate search for meaning.
And young men are on that quest.
And I think they are looking for everybody out there that is a dad, like I said, a grandpa, an uncle.
I think we all have to do a better job reaching out and teaching kids how to become men because manhood has been under assault by so much on the left.
And by the way, women are a huge part of this too, because no women out there want weak men, right?
This is not something that women are aspiring to.
A lot of moms, I think, are going to read this book and say, you know what, this is frustrating.
I don't want a world that creates weak men.
I don't want to raise weak sons.
And so we all have to come together.
And I spent so much time thinking about this in the book, Glenn, was just trying to figure out this is a great toehold that we got in 2024.
How do we expand it into a durable and lasting majority that it can be so profoundly impactful for the country?
A friend of mine said he was very optimistic when Trump won, and he has been since that day until the last election that happened two days ago.
He said, now I'm worried where, I mean, are we going to be able to hold this?
Are you optimistic?
I am, and I tend to be for people who listen to the show, you know, Buck tends to be a little bit more pessimistic on life.
I tend to be pretty optimistic.
And look, here's the reason why I am optimistic.
I just believe in the marketplace of ideas.
And I think over time, if you make good arguments, you win.
And I think Republican arguments are better.
You know, everything that Republicans argue makes sense.
It's why Gavin Newsom, who may be the nominee in 2028, is already basically saying, hey, I didn't mean any of the things that I said for much of my political career because he knows that when you watch that argument, that debate that he had with DeSantis, DeSantis wiped the floor with him because he had the right arguments.
He had the right facts.
He was able to marshal them.
I think the big question, and I write this in the book, is going to be, you're going to see an amazing pivot after the midterms.
We're going to go from Trump is Hitler on the left side to no one is ever going to be able to replicate the unique political skills and talent of Donald Trump.
And they're going to say that his coalition will not follow him and will not follow whoever is succeeding him.
I tend to think that that's not going to be true, but the only way to win is by fighting hard every day.
And that's what I try to do.
That's what I know you do.
And I feel fortunate to be able to talk on the radio, but also to write a book like this, which I hope people really will enjoy.
Clay Travis, the name of the book is Balls, How Trump, Young Men, and Sports Saved America.
It's available wherever you get your books.

Most phone companies just say, oh, we're just about, can you hear me now?
You know, we're just about the communication.
We just got great soul.
A lot of what they do is behind the scenes and who they invest in and the ideas that they are pushing forward.
Patriot Mobile is the only one that's up front.
They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

Home title theft.
It's one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States.
And this stuff happens way too often.
A thief finds your title online, uses fake identification to pose as you, and then sells the, you know, the got all sorts of paperwork and all of this other nonsense.
And they can either sell the house from out from under you or they can take out loans against your equity.
Once that happens, they can go down this road and make your life a living hell, to be honest with you.
Most people don't even realize this has happened until foreclosure notices start arriving.
And by then, it's usually way too late, at least to save your sanity.

The state of Indiana is suing their largest school district because it has sanctuary style policies that blocked ICE as if that's not bad enough.
They're blocking parents.
This is a story we'll share with you in a minute of a dad who wants to self-deport, goes to pick up his son to self-deport, and the school officials block dad from taking his son.
Who the hell do these people think they are?
We're going to talk to the people who are involved in this, at least in the sane part of it, including the Attorney General of Indiana and American First Policy Institute chief legal affairs officer that's also fighting this.
We have both of them on.
It's an incredible story.
It's next.
This is Glenn Beck.
Let me talk about your back here.

Schools Blocking Dads From Sons00:13:49
So every day I get about 90 stories from all of my producers and we have about a 20 or 30 minute meeting early, early in the morning and everybody pitches a story and says, you know, why that story is important.
And this one was pitched to me a few days ago and I was like, boring, because this is the headline.
Sanctuary school district policies that obstruct federal immigration enforcement are under a lawsuit now.
Wow.
Not interested.
However, then my producer said, let me tell you the story.
It involves a guy going to school to pick up his son, his child, so he could self-deport, and the school stopped this dad from taking his own child.
Excuse me?
What?
Now I really want to hear the full story.
Good thing is we have the Indiana Attorney General and the Chief of Legal Affairs for America First Policy Institute.
They're teaming up.
They're the ones having the lawsuit against this school district.
This school district is way out of control.
We'll have them tell you the story here in just a second.
First, if you're feeling the financial pressure right now, you're not alone.

Boy, thank you, United States government.
I feel so much safer now that I've heard that long, obnoxious disclaimer.
Todd Rokita is with us now.
He is the Attorney General from Indiana, and Leanne O'Neill is the chief of legal affairs for the America First Policy Institute.
They are the people that are the head of this story and the lawsuit.
Todd, Leanne, thank you so much for joining me.
Hey, Glenn, great to be with you.
And I'll have to tell my staff to work on those press release headlines so you're better interested next time.
Well, I mean, you're kind of bearing the hell, you know, what I can't believe.
I can believe that there are schools this out of control, but not so out of control that they block a dad from picking up his own son.
Can you tell me what happened?
Yeah, I sure can.
And I'm sure glad to have Leanne with us on this lawsuit.
You know, of course, AFPI is a policy arm, policy, more than a think tank, an action tank that's associated with the policies of President Trump.
So we couldn't be more grateful.
But what happened here, think about this.
Remember, Christy Noam had the voluntary deportation opportunity.
Now, this is an opportunity that's been in statute before, Christy Noam, before President Trump, but it's never really been utilized as much as this administration has.
And so this father, recognizing that he was not in compliance with the law, decided to say, you know what, I'm going to take advantage of this opportunity so I can maybe come back the right way one day.
Need to go get my son at school and went to the school to try to get his kid, and the school obstructed him and then obstructed ICE from assisting as well.
So the lawsuit's not just about that.
It's about a whole string of policies that we've uncovered, Glenn, that this school system and probably others around the country have in place that keep these kids and keep ICE from doing their job.
So, Leanne, what is it about this case?
Because that's outrageous enough.
What else is the school district doing?
This is the largest school district, I think, in Indiana.
And what else are they doing?
Yeah, that's right.
No, and thank you, Glenn, for having me.
And I'm just so, you know, I have to, I can't say enough about Attorney General Riquita's courage in enforcing this law.
You know, if we don't enforce these laws, we won't have a country.
So this is so important.
But I'm really glad that you asked that question.
You know, the school district has several policies in place that directly violate the state law.
And, you know, one is that the schools can't implement policies that make it difficult for employees to follow federal immigration law or to cooperate with federal immigration officials.
And of course, that's what happened here.
Additionally, the law prohibits local government agencies from having policies that restrict the ability to collect information about immigration status.
So, you know, the Biden administration unleashed 400,000 unaccompanied minors into this country who are all at grave risk of, you know, unthinkable tragedies and crimes that could be committed against them.
And if schools are prohibited from collecting information about students in their own buildings, then it is going to be very difficult, if not impossible, to find those kids and get them back to safety.
So, Attorney General, you're looking at this.
I mean, is this a school district that is deciding that they are against that they're above the law?
I mean, I've seen cities do it, but I've never seen a school district do it.
Right.
And look, these school districts, Glenn, in a lot of ways are just like these Democrat-run cities.
Now, the Indianapolis public school system is the largest in the state.
To the individual teachers' credit, only half of them are with the union, which I find to be sort of refreshing.
I figured they'd all be.
But it's really the leadership, and it's the elected school board who are all leftists and the leadership who, you know, again, this is part of the Marxist agenda.
The parents are subsidiary.
They're subservant to these administrators, to the teachers themselves, and they work against the parents.
And why do I call this, I'm not being overly dramatic when I call it Marxism, but that's what it does, right?
Marxism attacks the family unit, which is the foundation of our free society, right?
These of strong nuclear families.
So they also do, this school system also does it in another regard, too.
So it divides the family literally in this case.
You know, the father who wanted to take a son back to their home country, but they have a gender affirming plan, for example, that says, hey, it's a questionnaire that the teachers fill out.
This kid is transitioning.
Is the parent support for this high or is the parent support for this low?
Oh, it's low.
What do we have to do to make sure that the transition isn't obstructed?
That's basically what the form asks for.
So it's this division in keeping out of parents and basically the state's assumption of our greatest asset from God, which is our children.
And so that's what's wrong here.
That's what's at the core of all of this, that the family and the parents don't have the authority or the rights that they're supposed to have in a free society like America.
It's amazing that they are protecting, they're not protecting the family, but I mean, let me take it from where Leanne was.
I mean, MS-13, child traffickers, I mean, they seem to be protected here.
That's exactly right.
I mean, they're, again, with the policies that refuse to allow cooperation and, you know, sharing information about illegal immigration status is just like a welcome mat for, you know, the hordes of dangerous criminals, even high school-age students who could be in these schools.
And now, you know, the actions of this school district have prevented ICE from being able to determine that.
Do you have any, Attorney General, do you have anything to add on what's happening with child trafficking or MS-13 in these schools?
Well, that's exactly what, you know, whether it exists or whether they're having the atmosphere or the environment so that it can exist in the future, that's what the parents and the taxpayers have to watch out for.
I mean, let's not forget, your listeners, Glenn, we all are paying for these schools.
And we're forking over this money, we think, to somehow educate our kids when they're being either groomed or indoctrinated and the school is working against us.
I mean, that's the most frustrating thing.
But yeah, this could be a very dangerous safety issue here.
So I guess the bottom line for me, Glenn, is, and I know you're listeners and you talk so much about Congress, and I was a Congressman for eight years.
I'm here to tell you that the sun does not rise and set at Congress.
I mean, in modern days, like today, they can't tie their shoes.
Look to your attorneys general.
Look, those are important races.
And as you see from this lawsuit and the other things that we do, we can actually move the needle.
So that's where listeners have to invest their time.
Was there any law broken by holding this child away from the parents?
Well, yeah.
I mean, what this lawsuit's about is the fact that they are harboring a sanctuary jurisdiction.
They have created a sanctuary jurisdiction here, which is against the law of the state of Indiana.
We have a pretty strong, very good by Senator Eric Cook, a very good anti-sanctuary city, Anti-sanctuary jurisdiction law in the state of Indiana, and we contend that's been a violation.
Now, that's a civil matter.
Whether or not a crime has been committed in a state like Indiana, that's completely the jurisdiction of a local prosecutor.
I can tell you where IPS is located in the city.
This is a Soros-backed prosecutor, so nothing's going to happen in that regard.
Leanne, consequences for the rest of us if this doesn't go the right way.
Well, it's, you know, a complete breakdown of the law and the rule of law if this is continued to allow, if this is continued to go on.
You know, the Indiana representatives passed this law, and Attorney General Rikita is enforcing it.
And that is what is demanded of the leaders in the states right now.
And I think it's just so incredible that he's taken this step in filing this lawsuit and holding this school district accountable because if we don't protect our schools in states where we have very good statutes that require that, then we will not have a country any longer.
The chief legal affairs officer from America First Policy Institute, you can find them at AmericaFirstPolicy.com, Leanne O'Neill, and the Indiana Attorney General, Todd Rokita.
Guys, thank you.
We'll be following the case.
Appreciate it.
Thank you.
You bet.
Bye-bye.
Let me tell you about the Burna launcher.
Can you imagine Stu going into school and the school district saying you can't pick up your kids?
No, no, I didn't imagine that.
Especially when you're like, I want to pick up my kid because I want to come back to America and have the chance to come the right way.
You're stopping me.
You're going to make me even more of a criminal.
And they won't let you have your kids.
My gosh, I'd lose my mind.
I'd lose my mind.
All right.
So anyway, Burna Launcher.
They have a new compact launcher out.
It is small enough to fit in your hand, light enough to carry anywhere, powerful enough to change everything in a split second.
It's the new Burna Compact Launcher.
It is built for the realities of modern life.
When you need to protect yourself, but you don't want to take a life to do it.
The Compact Launcher uses pepper and tear gas projectiles that disable an attacker for up to 60 feet away.
There's no permits, no background checks.
It's legal in all 50 states.
It is the most portable, convenient version of the Burna yet.
Ready whenever you are, wherever you are.
I want you to go to burna.com, B-Y-R-N-A dot com, Burna.com, and find their compact launcher now, burna.com/slash glenn.
You can try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse location.
You can find that location near you at burna.com/slash glenn.
Ten seconds, Station ID.
The Lab That Had to Go00:08:26
So I remember when you were a kid and you made a horrible mistake.
You went out on your own and you're living on your own and you do something and you might have even called your parents and your parents wisely said, don't do that.
That's going to, that's going to leave a mark because it's going to, it's not a good idea.
And you were like, yeah, but I know, well, I live on my own now, so I can do what I want.
And you're like, and their parents were like, well, we'll support you on whatever you want.
But, you know, the consequences of this one are, you know, it's not good.
It's not going to work out well.
And then you had to call your parents and just say, please, please just don't say, I told you so.
And if you had good parents, they didn't.
They were like, no, we support you and, you know, glad you learned from your space.
But if you had a parent like me, it was like, you can't stop me from saying, I told you so.
What were you thinking?
What were you thinking?
No, that didn't happen.
My daughter and her roommate decide they're going to get a lab for a pet.
Stu, what do you tell your daughter, your son?
They go out and they live on their own.
The roommates in an apartment building, they decide to get a lab for a pet.
What do you say?
That's okay, but that's a lot of responsibility.
Are you prepared for it?
Yeah, right?
Right?
Probably not the best idea, you know, probably not the best idea, but you know, well, my daughter and her roommate, they went out and they got a lab.
And it hasn't worked out.
It hasn't worked out.
When did they get this dog?
Two days ago.
It hasn't worked out.
It hasn't done anything yet.
It's only been two days.
What do you mean it hasn't worked out?
Two days.
Two days.
She's bailing out after two days?
Please.
Don't, don't, don't.
You don't even want to know.
Don't.
Okay.
I mean, you haven't been on the phone with your daughter crying at midnight, you know.
Don't.
Oh, it's so it's been a big thing.
This has been, this is just been a very, very big thing.
She's just got this sweet, sweetheart, and now she's got this sweet, sweet dog, and she doesn't have any idea what to do.
She can't bring him back.
They're like, well, not our dog anymore.
You know, she's like, it's been two days.
No.
Nope.
So now she's got to find a home.
Is she on the phone?
Or did you get her on the phone or not?
So now I'll get into it.
Be nice, Stu.
No, I'm certainly being nice to her.
I'm curious, though.
Did you talk to her about, hey, like, yeah, the first couple of weeks are going to suck, right?
Like, this is.
No, and I don't want you to share any of that either.
No, she's made up her mind.
Hello, Cheyenne.
Hi, Dad.
How are you?
Miss yourself.
I miss you an awful lot.
I miss you an awful lot.
So Stu thinks that you should tough it out.
I'm curious.
How bad has this actually been, Cheyenne?
It hasn't been bad.
We love him.
We really do.
He's a great dog.
It has been difficult with another 20-year-old in the house.
We're both really struggling with that.
So it's just got some.
It's not the dog.
It's not the dog.
Okay.
It's not the dog.
The roommates are all kind of up in arms.
Okay.
And so the dog is just standing there going, I just want somebody to walk me who will walk me.
Right.
Well, he's great.
We go on walks every morning and he's a great dog.
He really is.
I'm really tired.
He told me I didn't have to give him up.
So we picked him up at the shelter.
So we don't know exactly how old he is, but he's in the two to four range.
Like that's kind of what they gave us.
Yeah.
And he's really cute.
And he's so not going to the bathroom inside or anything, right?
No, he's a good dog.
He's great with people.
The only time he's peed is when he got really excited and was like.
Dogs do that.
So do old people.
Yeah.
Met him.
Yay.
Yeah, that does happen.
He's great with people.
I've already introduced him to people at our leasing office and just people walking by.
He doesn't bite at dogs.
He's very, very sweet.
And he's very obedient.
He loads quickly because he's a lab retriever bits.
So if you're interested in a dog, do you have the email address?
Do you have an email address you can give out?
Yes, the email address, his name is Snoop.
So the address is snoop the dog06 at gmail.com.
SnoopTedog06 at gmail.com.
If you're interested in a dog, it's free.
It's free.
And you will have my eternal gratitude.
He also keeps a bed and food and clothes and everything like that.
And he has a crazy.
I'm sorry.
And clothes?
We bought him a little hat for Christmas.
Please rescue this dog.
Did we just cover here, Glenn, what region we're talking about?
What area?
Yeah, Mountain West in Utah.
Okay.
Yeah, the closest areas to me are like Utah County.
So if you live there, you know what I'm talking about.
Okay.
So yeah, if you're close to that area, hit me up.
Let me know.
Yeah, he's a great dog.
He's a great dog.
We've grown to love him so in the last two days.
Hour 27 was an incredible hour.
Hour 27, that was good.
It was dicey.
Hour three was a little dicey, but by hour 27, we've just fallen deeply, deeply.
Yeah.
All right, sweetheart.
Thank you.
I love you.
All right.
Thank you, Dad.
Bye.
You bet.
I love you.
I have so many questions.
I have so many questions.
Oh, so many questions.
No answers.
No answers.
Just kids do the damnedest things at times.
This is Glenn Beck.
Buying or selling a home isn't just business.
It's personal.
It's where you've built memories, raised kids, and maybe even put roots down that you never thought you'd have to leave.
So when it's time to move, you need more than somebody who can fill up paperwork.
You need somebody you can trust.
That's why I recommend to you my company, realestateagentsitrust.com.
Again, these are professionals that we have vetted.
I've used it myself here recently.
We just moved to Florida, had to sell my house in Dallas, tried to sell it about five years ago, couldn't sell it.
Went to real estate agents and I said, do we have anybody in my neighborhood?
Can we find somebody that has these qualifications?
We did.
We sold the house almost immediately.
It was pretty amazing.
I said I want to be out of the house by November 1st.
We closed on the 31st of October.
And I mean, it rarely went smoothly.
That's Brad Cook in there.
Lisa True is the one who helped me find a house and she was with us for like two years.
We were a big pain in the butt.
These people care about you.
If you want somebody who really cares and listens and will find the right house, sell your home on time for the right amount of money, go to realestateagentsitrust.com, realestate agentsitrust.com.

Judeo-Christian Ethics vs. Cultural Clash00:13:45
Thank you so much for listening.
If you're a new listener to the program, you know, you're going to hate it at first.
Give it a few weeks and you'll go numb inside and, you know, and then you won't worry about changing the channel.
But thank you so much.
Thank you so much for listening.
We're at a moment in our civilization's life that comes along where the signs are no longer subtle.
They don't whisper from the margins anymore.
They stand right in the road.
They've got a big flashlight in your eyes.
You're daring you.
Come on, look away.
Look away.
Today, anybody who still believes in the Judeo-Christian pillars that built the West and the Western civilization, the signs are no longer scattered everywhere.
They are converging.
And I want to tell you a story about what happened this week in Germany.
Little town in Germany quietly submitted Christmas to Islam.
It is in the town of Overroth.
It's right in the heart of the nation.
This is the town where Bach's Christmas Oratorio was written and first performed.
This town canceled its Christmas market.
Now, we don't really have Christmas markets like they do over in Europe.
These little towns, they're just such great little iconic little squares.
And they build little shops inside the square.
And it's snowing, and it's just so Christmassy, and it's filled with lights.
And you go and you buy Christmas presents and foods and decorations and whatever.
And it's been happening since, I don't know, the year eight.
I don't know when they started, but they've been happening for centuries.
Why did this town cancel this?
Because police warned that the presence of a mosque next to the square posed, quote, security challenges.
Okay, well, that's a problem.
And they said to secure the Christmas market against the security challenges would cost more than the market cost to put on itself.
And so they canceled the Christmas market.
The birth of Christ is now suspended for fear of offending those who deny him in the first place.
Think what that means.
Not an outrage, not an outrage.
In diagnosis, think what this means.
A culture that can't defend its own sacred symbols has already seeded something much deeper than public space.
They are surrendering memory.
And this is happening everywhere.
And we have to start recognizing it.
I mean, it's why the Charlie Kirk thing was important.
But quite honestly, the Charlie Kirk thing, it better not turn into something political.
It was spiritual.
The reason why he made such an impact is because he was talking about things about God, eternal truths.
And we don't need a revival.
We need an awakening.
And the difference between a revival and awakening, a revival sends everybody back to church and they're all talking about God and everybody feels good.
Those happen all the time.
An awakening happens rarely.
It starts with a revival.
Then people go to church and they're like, wow, we are so far off the beaten path here.
We've got to change the way we do things.
We have to change the way we see things, the way we act in our homes, in our businesses, and in our government.
That's an awakening.
And it needs to happen.
And the only place it really has a chance of happening is in the United States.
Honestly, you think it's going to happen in Great Britain?
Right now, entire towns and villages are echoing with public calls to prayer, sometimes six, seven, eight times a day from the Muslim mosques as the church that once stood at the center of the community is shuttered or sold or being transformed into a mosque or burned.
Hundreds of churches all across Europe have been vandalized or destroyed just in the last two years.
This is not a metaphor.
This is a map of retreat.
Last night, another headline.
Man driving his car through a crowd, driving his car through the crowds, shouting, Allah Akbar.
We're told it's another isolated incident.
Really?
Another tragedy that just does not reflect the broader community.
Really?
Strange how this isolation stuff repeats itself seemingly daily across continents.
Meanwhile, if you're paying attention in Africa, Christians are being killed at a rate unseen in modern times.
In fact, the greatest persecution of Christians of all time is happening right now.
Churches are burned.
What was it yesterday?
Was it 19,000 Christian churches were burned in the last couple of years in Africa, in one country in Africa?
Pastors are being executed, entire villages being erased, and the world shrugs.
Why?
Because the victims carry crosses and the killers carry the banner of a radical creed that the West no longer dares to name.
Let me bring this home.
The election of Zorhan Mamdani, openly not just praised by Kerr, but also championed by Linda Sarsour and said it was Kerr and the Muslim community that planned this and got him to be elected.
Okay, you can be a Muslim and you can be fine.
I have Muslim friends.
I don't have any Islamist friends.
I don't have any friends who want to overthrow the United States or change and leave the Constitution of the United States and reinvent everything.
Those are not my friends.
I don't care what church you go to, what mosque you go to.
You believe that?
You're not my friend.
All of this is happening because the West has grown either forgetful, apathetic, or timid.
And radicals have grown bold.
Now, you're either a believer in the Judeo-Christian tradition or not.
But if you believe the Judeo-Christian tradition is what created the West, why has this Western culture decided that warnings are impolite?
Somehow or another, we believe that defending our own civilization is somehow or another an act of aggression.
It's not.
And history laughs at that kind of naivety.
Okay?
They're laughing at us.
I've seen them.
I've seen them say, you people are so stupid.
Don't you see what's happening?
Just by the birth rate alone.
And I've never had a problem.
I don't care.
I really don't care.
But that ideology, Sharia law, I do not want my children or grandchildren living under.
That's evil, period.
I'd rather fight this now.
I'd rather fight it before we ever had to use guns or anything else.
I'd rather just stand for my civilization now so my children don't have to.
So my children, I'd fight it with words now.
I'd fight it with awareness now.
So my children don't have to fight it with machetes in the future.
Every civilization that has fallen, Rome, the kingdoms of Iberia, the Christian enclaves of the Near East, they all fell because they refused to see the signs.
Not because the signs weren't there.
They were.
But because they're inconvenient, because they required courage.
This is not a clash of skin color or nationality.
This is a clash of cultures, of systems, of morals, of foundations.
The Judeo-Christian West believes in the dignity of the individual.
Each individual.
We believe in the rule of law.
Law made by man, inspired by God.
We believe in the sanctity of conscience.
We believe that just because you don't share my faith doesn't make you an infidel that I can now take as a slave.
Sharia law replaces all of this stuff with compulsion, individual worth with collective submission, and the equality of man with the supremacy of a creed.
You've got nothing left.
When there are millions in our streets, millions in the streets all over the West that are calling out loud for the replacement of the Western law with Islamic courts.
They do so openly, publicly, loudly, repeatedly, and now with political backing.
That's not diversity.
That is a competing civilization claiming ground inch by inch while the old one is apologizing for even existing.
How is the West giving up Christmas?
And we're the ones that are intolerant?
We're giving up Christmas because they can't tolerate our Christmas.
Tolerance is a virtue until it becomes abdication.
It's such an exciting and bold time to live.
We are really honored to live at this time because we're going to be tested over and over and over again, and we're going to find out who we really are.
And I do not want to be the people that future historians look back on and say, you know, they saw the storm.
They just closed the shutters and pretended it was rain.
It's not rain.
It is the cracking of the foundational stones of our civilization.
The West is not going to fall in a single night, but it is falling.
It falls when the faithful grow silent, when the faithful say, well, you know, God this, God that, but I got to keep silent about it.
Civilization falls when you're shamed into believing that your own heritage is somehow a sin, when you refuse to defend the moral architecture that gave us human rights,
the moral architecture that gave us limited government, equality before the law, and the idea that every man and woman is born not as property and cannot be taken as property because we are all, no matter what your creed or color is, are all children of an all-powerful, mighty God.
We cannot focus on the anger, anger and fear and hatred.
You are commanded to love your neighbor and love those that hate you.
I'm telling you, you're also required to see.
Open your eyes.
Have your friends and neighbors and your family open their eyes if you still believe that the Judeo-Christian ethic is worth preserving, not for domination, but because It gave us the gift of the understanding for the first time of individual human freedom.
If you believe that, then you have to be a sentinel.
You have no choice.
It's your moral obligation.
Darkness doesn't conquer a civilization.
It just takes the place of whatever refuses to shine.
And the lamps of the West, are they flickering?
Are they even lit?
Is there oil left in that lamp?
This is not a call to arms.
This is a call back to standing for the principles that you know are true.
Standing for the principles you grew up knowing were true.
Just saying, no, we are not closing our Christmas village because you're offended by it.
It means no offense.
I'm not offended by you.
And yet I'm the one being called not tolerant.
And yet you are forcing me to cancel my Christmas village, which we've done forever.
No, if you're standing up for your God, I will stand up for mine.
I don't believe we have a choice.
Back in a minute.

You know, I'm actually excited for Christmas.
Talking about the Christmas village that's now been killed.
The...
I'm excited for Christmas.
Although my wife and I were out shopping someplace over the weekend, I can't remember.
And every store we walked into, it already had everything Christmas.
It was the day after Halloween.
It was like they spent all night tearing down the spooky stuff and putting up Jesus stuff or tree and Santa stuff.
I mean, it was like, what has happened?
When?
And my wife is like, every year.
And I'm like, really?
Every year.
November 1st, that's the beginning of the season.
Well, they decided that the only time they make money is Christmas, so they might as well make Christmas as long as possible, which is an interesting choice.
I heard a commercial, I think it was two or three weeks before Halloween, and it was for Home Depot, I believe, and it was like, it's the holiday season.
You can get all your supplies.
And I was like, is this a, like, are they trying to just include Halloween in the holiday season now?
Is that a new shtick?
But no, they just went to the, when they went to the video of it, it was just all Christmas trees.
It's like, you know, it's interesting how you leave Columbus Day out of the holiday season.
